	You're listening to The David Knight Show.
	As the clock strikes 13, it's Tuesday the 30th of April.
	Year of our Lord, 2024.
	Well, today we're going to take a look at something that I quite enjoy.
	It's my birthday, so we're going to take a look at some self-driving fails.
	It's a little bit of schadenfreude, because I hate these things.
	I know what their purpose is.
	And so it's good to see these things fail.
	We're also going to be joined in the third hour by Alex Newman, who you've heard me quote many times, saying the schools are burning building, get your child out, and then work with your neighbors to try to put the fire out before it burns down your neighborhood.
	He's written a book encapsulating all this, showing the history of this gradual, iterative government takeover.
	Deliberate, it's by design.
	None of this stuff is happening because people don't know any better.
	Yeah, a lot of people are being taken advantage of, but the people who are doing this know precisely what they're doing.
	He'll be joining us in the third hour.
	We'll be right back. Well, for the most part, I think we're going to stick to some lighter stuff today.
	We will be talking about war, though.
	And it's, you know, we've got a wartime speaker.
	Very excited about the possibility.
	This is his moment to make history and to make money while the sun is shining until he nukes air.
	I don't know what he's going to do with his money, Mike Johnson, when he starts a nuclear war.
	It's a... Him in the bunker, counting his gold coins or greenbacks or whatever.
	If he's smart, he won't have them in greenbacks, that's for sure.
	But we have Adam Schiff, who is running to replace Dianne Feinstein, who reminded us that even the powerful people die.
	It's a reminder to Diane who thought that she would never die.
	She was never going to let go of her hold on power.
	And so Adam Schiff is campaigning.
	He went to San Francisco. And the local news showed him at a meeting with everybody in suits, and he was in casual attire.
	He had a vest to keep himself warm, because, I mean, we're talking about San Francisco, as Mark Twain said.
	The coldest winter he ever had was the summer in San Francisco, so he's got his vest on, but his luggage was stolen.
	And they got his suit and his tie.
	These broke into the car of Senate candidate Adam Schiff in San Francisco for an event, forcing a change of plans, specifically his attire, for the events.
	He was dressed more casually than his guests, who were all in suits and ties.
	And so when...
	I told this to Karen.
	She said, maybe it was some San Fran tranny who got his clothes.
	And kind of a reverse of Sam Britton, who used to steal women's clothes.
	Maybe there's some other twisted San Franny tranny who wants to get Adam Schiff's clothes.
	I don't know. But we're talking about San Francisco.
	Can't rule anything out.
	As a matter of fact, you know, when I was just going through, I go through all kinds of news and websites, and I saw this thread from a guy who was talking about his sub stack is thinking about Western civilization. He talks about different aspects of Western civilization that we typically don't think about. And this particular one was about Roman roads.
	How were they constructed? Why did they last so long?
	We still have bridges that the Romans built over large spans of water that haven't fallen down.
	I guess nobody could get a barge into the river or something.
	But these roads are still there.
	As you said, all roads lead to Rome.
	Well, it's because they were building roads as part of their civilization.
	And I thought about it. I thought, what will be left of our civilization?
	Is there going to be some plastic bottles or something like that, if that's even left?
	He said there was 50,000 miles of paved roads throughout the Roman Empire.
	And so I looked up to see how much we have in terms of interstate system.
	And we have 40,000 miles.
	Now, of course, that's just over the United States.
	But again, Europe is pretty small compared to the United States.
	They overlay it.
	And so the Roman Empire was more extensive than Europe.
	And these roads go out all the way into the Middle East, of course.
	But the interstate system, as well as Roman roads, were built, as well as the German Autobahn.
	All three of those were really built.
	Primarily for military purposes, to be able to move equipment very quickly.
	That's why Hitler did it.
	That's why the Romans did it.
	Eisenhower saw that, and he had an experience where he had to move a convoy up in the northeast.
	And he said, this is crazy.
	We're not even going to be able to move through our own country.
	So when he became president, he built the interstate system, and they built it fairly quickly when they've got...
	Military motivation seems like they can get things done pretty quickly, but we can't do that anymore, can we?
	I mean, it's amazing. When you look at Biden and you look at Buttigieg, there's not any will to do any of this stuff.
	They don't even want to pave the potholes anymore, even in most Republican states.
	Tennessee is about the best place I've seen in terms of keeping up with roads, but most of them don't even care to maintain the roads.
	And they certainly aren't expanding the roads as they expand the number of people who move into any given city, like Austin, for example.
	Constantly, you're looking at neighborhoods springing up.
	Apartment complexes springing up.
	But never any expansion of the roads.
	Now, of course, they can't widen them anymore because they're locked in.
	But always in these futuristic sci-fi movies, they would always show the road systems of the future as multi-level.
	Or even flying cars, flying at multiple levels.
	But they would at least have different roads at different levels.
	Because they're building buildings up, so they have to build the roads up.
	No, they don't do that anymore.
	And again, it's because the plan is for you not to be able to move.
	So that's the other part of the military thing.
	They want to make sure that we can't move, that we're not mobile.
	That's one of the first things you do with your enemy.
	You make sure that their communications are shut down, which is what they're working on very hard now with the information and disinformation stuff.
	They want to make sure they have disrupted our communications.
	They will listen to our communications and spy on us and catalog what we have to say until they're ready to turn it off.
	And the same thing is true of our transportation.
	And so, a country that doesn't have the will to build families, that doesn't have the will to build infrastructure, is a dying country.
	America is a dying country. We are a cut flower society.
	Oh, isn't that nice? It looks so nice, but it's there in the bottle, and it's dying, and the leaves are going to fall off.
	When we look at what our road system is like, it really is engineered for crony capitalism, not to last for thousands of years.
	It's engineered for crony capitalism to need constant maintenance and to constantly spend money on their friends because it's all about graft and patronage.
	Well, let's talk about the free speech aspect of all this, and of course we're seeing In Brazil, we're seeing in Europe, we're seeing in Australia, various countries are now asserting that they need to have control of not only free speech in their country, they need to be able to shut down free speech in their country, but they need to be able to shut down free speech around the world.
	And so you have the EU, Australia, Brazil, all demanding that they control social media, specifically Twitter.
	Because Elon Musk is making a name for himself in terms of opposing them.
	I just, I have a, you know, we look at what he does and it really is a mixed bag.
	And when you look at his background, there's a lot of really bad red flags.
	But nevertheless, just focusing on this, we have the Australian Prime Minister is calling for a ban on memes.
	He said, I noticed today on the way up here, they've removed various sites, various sites, removed various sites that had fake images of me where his head was superimposed on other people.
	Yeah, it's called mockery.
	It's called satire.
	And these petty dictators don't get that.
	Well, that's the sort of thing that's going on on social media, he said.
	Social media has a responsibility to do the right thing here.
	Well, pal, you've got a responsibility to protect our God-given rights.
	That's the purpose that we have of governments, and we need to remind ourselves that when governments become destructive of those God-given inalienable rights, that it is the right and the duty of the people to alter or to abolish that government.
	Australia has what they call an e-safety commissioner.
	It's about their safety, frankly.
	Not about your safety.
	Just like national security is about their security.
	It's not about your security. They're putting all of us in danger with national security at the Pentagon.
	But the e-safety commissioner, of course a bureaucrat, who does regulation without representation, who does regulation without authority, Most likely.
	I don't know what their laws are here, but, you know, we do the same thing here in America.
	And there is no authority for this, just like there's no authority for anything that Trump did in 2020 with the lockdowns and the rest of that stuff.
	These people defied authority.
	They defied the Constitution that gives them their authority, the Constitution they swore to uphold.
	So he's ordered, this Australian dictator has ordered both X and Metta to remove footage of the stabbing of that bishop there in Sydney.
	Whereas the bishop says he doesn't want it removed.
	He came back out, he's got a patch over his eye.
	I don't know, there's no information about the extent of his injuries.
	But he came out and he says, no.
	He says, I honor the people who fought for our freedom.
	And he said, and they fought for our freedom, and you better not take that away.
	Musk said, no president, prime minister, or judge has authority over all of Earth.
	This platform adheres to the laws of countries in those countries, but it would be improper to extend one country's rulings to other countries.
	If he wants to censor things in other countries, he should bring a legal action to bear in those countries.
	And so this little dictator whose name is Albanese wants to see memes removed.
	And as this article says, of course, that meant that there were millions more memes made of him.
	And so, you know, when we look at these guys, here's what he had to say.
	I'll play for you. This guy is a prime example of how we have the worst and the weakest people Among us as our leaders.
	What a judgment from God that we are led by people like this.
	Platforms have a responsibility to make sure that misinformation isn't got out there.
	I noticed today, for example, on the way up here, they've removed various sites that were up Containing fake images of myself superimposed on other people.
	That's the sort of thing that is on social media.
	Social media has a responsibility to do the right thing here.
	Yeah, yeah. By the way, here's the picture of him as the chicken that I put up here as he was talking about that.
	They've got pictures of me with my head on other people or other chickens, for example, in this.
	It says AFC. It's an Australian fried chicken.
	Totally spineless chicken.
	He's got a guy in a chicken suit and the head is this particular guy.
	And other memes out there.
	Anthony Albanese, Australian MP, and censorship nanny, do not make fun of me and my clown car.
	Yeah, it is exactly what people are looking for.
	By the way, you know, here's why they are so adamant about having control of censorship.
	It isn't that he's really upset about people putting his head on, you know, a picture of somebody in a chicken costume.
	It's because of this kind of stuff.
	Remember this? Remember the Australian lockdowns?
	Remember the brutality of the police?
	Shoving people down, beating them with their masks.
	You're not wearing a mask.
	Yeah. That's what they don't want you to see.
	They don't want you to remember this.
	That's why I'm reminding you of this.
	Look at this. Mob.
	Mob of angry women with bully clubs and masks picking on a middle-aged woman, knocking her to the ground.
	She's injured on the ground because they shoved her down.
	Yeah, that's what they don't want you to see, isn't it?
	We know exactly what they have done.
	They think we don't know, but we do.
	We know who these people are.
	We know what they want.
	Their purpose is to dictate what you see and what you know.
	But we know already.
	You know, just like the song, what was the guy's name?
	I can't remember his name now.
	Is that Richmond, North of Richmond?
	He says, they think we don't know, but we do.
	We do. We know exactly what they want.
	And we know, you know, what all these rich men, North of Richmond, you know, one of the new members of the club, Michael Johnson, he's one of the new rich men, north of Richmond.
	He just made $20 million in one quarter, and he's completely owned by that.
	Their accusations indict them with unerring precision, as they always accuse the other side of that which they are guilty of.
	It's a Brownstone article.
	Absolutely right.
	You know, I mentioned this yesterday, Trump coming out saying, RFK Jr.
	is a Democrat plant. Well, Trump is a Democrat.
	He's a Democrat who was planted by the globalists.
	Just take a look at what he did in 2020, folks.
	He did everything that they wanted.
	He did it in sync with everybody else.
	No difference between Trump and Trudeau.
	How could that be? Trump is an anti-globalist.
	He's a nationalist. He hates those guys at Davos that he hung out with.
	He hates those people's Democrats like Clintons and everything that he used to party with all the time.
	They're gearing up for the next attack.
	It'll be on a new axis and more likely a set of axes because that's the game.
	These protests that are happening right now in the colleges, as many people pointed out, I talked about how Soros is funding them.
	A lot of people point out it's very much astroturf in a lot of different ways.
	Looks like they are very well organized, very vitriolic.
	How will they use those?
	Well, they might use it to say we've got to have more hate crime laws.
	Right? That's what we've seen over and over again.
	People virtue signaling to the foreign government of Israel, whether it's DeSantis or Kristi Noem.
	Now you've got bills that have been introduced, as I pointed out.
	Oh, we're going to have to shut down your free speech because you might say something negative about a foreign government.
	That's a different way of doing it, isn't it?
	You know, we've got Australia, Brazil, the EU out there saying, we're going to tell you what you can put up.
	Remember when Elon Musk bought Twitter?
	Yeah, that guy Theory Breton.
	I call him conspiracy theory.
	His name is T-H-I-E-R-R-Y, but it's pronounced theory.
	So, Mr. Conspiracy Theory out of the EU. So, we got this new thing, the DSA, and when it takes effect, you're going to do what we tell you to do.
	And Musk is bowing to him.
	Yes, yes, yes, I will.
	Okay. Well, they want to tell everybody what to do.
	They want to control speech worldwide.
	Brazil wants to do the same thing.
	Australia wants to do the same thing.
	Israel is a bit more cunning.
	They're going to do it through our congressmen in order to protect them.
	And of course, on the back end, they will throw all kinds of cash at our congressmen.
	And as Trump said, you know, they own Congress and rightfully so.
	That's what he said. Well, they're getting up to do it again.
	Signs are all there. The way to stop it is to call it out now.
	And so, as this article on Brownstone says, It's much harder for a magician to do a trick if Penn and Teller are sitting in the audience calling out the methods right beforehand.
	It renders the whole thing transparent and silly.
	This is why they've got to shut down social media.
	And it's why he cares so much that people put his head on a chicken suit.
	Because ridicule is the most effective weapon.
	It really is. There's no defense against it.
	Saul Alinsky said in his Rules for Radical, he said, satire is the most effective weapon because there's no defense against it.
	That's why they're going after memes.
	Come on, you can't take a joke?
	No, they understand the power of a joke.
	They want our speech, our memes, our ability to build and support community.
	But they're not seeking to suppress us because we are powerless, he says.
	Well, that's very true. But we need to understand, where is our power?
	Is our power in our numbers?
	Is it because we're strong and big in numbers?
	Well, that is one aspect of it.
	They don't want communication because they don't want people to figure out what they have done to us.
	And so that's part of it.
	But I think it'd be foolish for us to trust in our numbers, just like it's foolish for them to trust in their weapons.
	It's foolish for them to trust in their money.
	We see how frail their financial system is.
	And, of course, they're working to destroy it as well.
	We see how weak their weapons are, even though they spent an amazing amount of money on them.
	You're still seeing these expensive weapon systems being taken out by asymmetric warfare, very cheap strikes against those.
	I think we have to be careful that we don't trust any of that stuff, that we don't trust our money, that we don't trust our numbers or anything that we have as well.
	All you need to trust is God.
	And so along those lines, I saw this clip from one of the Prosperity Gospel TV evangelists who's made an obscene amount of money.
	This guy is Jesse Duplantis, and I never paid any attention to these people.
	I saw this clip.
	And I went back to look at what he had.
	He said, yeah, all these people making fun of my plane, making fun of my house.
	He's got a $54 million private jet.
	He's got a $50 million house.
	Travis, pull up the pictures of his house there.
	It's like 30 or 40,000 square feet.
	It dwarfs everything else around him.
	And he's sitting there boasting about just how much he has.
	Look at that.
	There's an aerial picture of this sprawling mansion.
	What does he need that for?
	And look at how it dwarfs all these other houses around there.
	He is so proud of that.
	Listen to what he has to say, because it actually is pretty amazing.
	He is, and it's amazing to see that somebody who is this effective and has been operating for so long as a pastor and made so much money is so absolutely ignorant about what he's He doesn't even understand that it applies to him until his wife points it out.
	Inadvertently. Here he is bragging about what he owns.
	Be not thou afraid when one is made rich.
	When the glory of his house is increased.
	Is increased.
	Yeah, he likes that.
	Read that. Pull that up in the amplifier.
	Verse 16 of Psalms chapter 49.
	If you can do that. Let me read it while she's getting it.
	Be not thou afraid.
	Be not thou afraid when one is made rich, when the glory of his house is increased.
	Read that. Well, it's amplified, says it.
	Be not afraid when an ungodly one is made rich.
	That's true. When the wealth and glory of his house are increased and goes on.
	For when he dies, he will carry nothing away.
	His glory will not descend after him.
	See, God don't care if someone's ungodly to be rich.
	Yeah, we just...
	I can be anything I want.
	I just got to be rich.
	Before that, he was bragging about his house and saying, there's all these people who are so upset about this money.
	They're not afraid of him.
	Many people, and the reason I mention this is because many people are afraid of the wealthy and powerful governments or they're afraid of the wealthy and powerful technocrats and billionaires and the CEOs of these multinational corporations.
	But, you know, that's what they trust in.
	That's what this guy trusts in.
	And I was truly amazed.
	I mean, it was like a Trump 1 Corinthians moment.
	And that's just a shibboleth.
	I mean, you know, they actually do.
	In the UK, they actually say 1 Corinthians instead of 1 Corinthians, like we say here.
	But everybody looks like, oh, he's never...
	He's never sat in church to hear this.
	It's a shibboleth, right? But, you know, this guy has made hundreds of millions of dollars sharing the sheep, and he's never even read this stuff, and he doesn't even know what it's talking about.
	And so this whole Psalm 49 is to say, don't fear these rich and powerful people.
	Why? Why? Don't be afraid of the rich when glory of his house is increased, for when he dies, he'll carry nothing away from him.
	His glory shall not descend after him.
	But while he lives, he blesses himself, for men praise you when you do well for yourself.
	He shall go to the generation of his fathers, and they shall never see light.
	A man who is in honor yet does not understand is like a beast that perishes.
	That's him. He doesn't understand.
	And he says, go to the Amplified Bible.
	And so, you know, it'll put a lot of synonyms and stuff like that after some words.
	And so it puts in there, don't be afraid when one, and it puts in there, ungodly.
	It's like... She looked at it, and in that clip, they zoomed in on her eyes, where she goes like, ooh, ooh.
	You're describing yourself as part of the ungodly.
	Well, we're going to take a little break here, and I wanted to play for you something that is a song that actually, just a little bit of this song.
	Something that actually addresses this very thing.
	And the fact that we don't need to fear these people.
	Yes, they are afraid of us.
	And that tells us that we are not powerless.
	But we also need to know that our power is not in and of ourselves.
	Or we become no different than them.
	No need to fear when times of trouble come.
	Oppression storm beeps at your door.
	No need to fear No need to fear No evil seems so strong.
	Their pride and power is not for long.
	Be still, my soul, and trust in God.
	And place your life into His hands For He will never fail you And in the morning Elvis.
	Ladies and gentlemen, the Beatles.
	And the sweet sounds of Motown.
	Find them on the oldies channel at a PS radio.com on.
	...
	♪♪
	you So, I'm going to go ahead and get started.
	You're listening to The David Knight Show.
	Go.
	you Well, I'll tell you where our numbers can be very effective and where it can make a difference.
	And I've seen it, and I think that Yeah, things have changed, but I don't think they've changed so much that we still can't have an effect.
	If we do an organized contact of our state representatives, not Congress, forget about Congress, you're pushing on a rope with that.
	Nothing is going to happen in Washington.
	They're done. You're not going to have any effect in Washington.
	But Jay and Jessica sent this to me, and I think this is a great way.
	This is a model letter.
	To send out to people and state representatives and to have legislation to push back on this model State Emergency Health Powers Act thing that I've talked about for so long.
	You know, that was what they were manipulating Congress to do.
	They had dark winter simulation.
	Many of them knew about it. Biden knew about it.
	Two months before 9-11.
	One week after 9-11, they had the false flag anthrax attack.
	And they were still pushing the idea that this is a bioweapon attack from Iraq and things like that.
	And then two months after that, they had this model legislation sent out to all the different states.
	And more than 30-some-odd states enacted the majority of what they wanted them to do.
	And then they practiced the germ game for another 20 years.
	And then under Trump, They rolled all this stuff out and told the governors, and they'd given themselves, remember, the legal power with that Model State Health Emergency Powers Act.
	And so they had given themselves the legal power to do something about it.
	Trump gave them the money, and that's how we got that.
	Now, that needs to be rolled back.
	And quite frankly, you know, if we had a massive letter-writing campaign, we might be able to do something along those lines.
	And I say that because when I was in North Carolina, I've mentioned this before, it really did astound me because I'm pretty cynical about these people changing anything.
	And yet we had the teachers union wanted to stomp out homeschooling, which was just beginning.
	It was in its infancy, and there weren't that many of us in North Carolina.
	And so the very powerful teachers union, in a state where all of the state government was controlled by Democrats, decided that they were going to stomp out homeschooling.
	That was the time. They had control of everything, and it was just starting.
	And so the homeschoolers got together and did this massive letter-writing campaign to them and scared them, because they don't typically get people communicating with them.
	And we're able to beat that back with a letter-writing campaign.
	Do you think we might be able to do that?
	It certainly is worth a chance at that, isn't it?
	To stop this Model State Emergency Health Powers Act.
	We need to do something.
	So that's a great idea. Thank you, Jay and Jessica.
	We need to do something with that.
	But let's talk about the war.
	This is something that we don't have a great deal of effect about.
	Except to pray about it.
	And that has an effect.
	God can turn the hearts of these leaders like diverting water, and he can move them if necessary.
	And so that's really the only thing that we've got.
	People say, well, I haven't got anything left but a prayer.
	Well, that's the most effective thing that you can do with most things, even with small problems in your life, but certainly when it's something that is out of your reach.
	And when we look at what is happening here, this frail, corrupt person, Dying, cut-flower American empire that we have has now lost three Reaper drones, each of them costing $30 million.
	This is even worse than the M1 Abrams tanks that are being taken out in Ukraine with these $10 million tanks being taken out with $500 drones.
	Well, here we have Yemen, the Houthis.
	The blowfish.
	This third world country that we sided with the Saudis and decided that we would get involved in their war.
	I'm not saying who's right.
	The head-chopping Saudis or the Marxist Iranian hoodies.
	As far as I'm concerned, I look at it and I don't have a dog in that fight, quite frankly.
	But we put our dogs in the fight.
	And we got there on the side of the Saudis and continued to try to, and very effectively, starved that country, bombed that country.
	And you'd think that a third world country that we'd been starving and bombing for quite some time would not be able to do this kind of stuff.
	And yet they are a big threat to shipping now.
	They're able to hit a British ship.
	They're able to take down three of these Reaper drones.
	The war has killed 377,000 people there in Yemen, with more than half of them dying from starvation from our sanctions, our lockdowns, if you will.
	Right? And I said that from the very beginning, too.
	I said, how dare Donald Trump tell us that we are non-essential?
	How dare him do sanctions on his own people?
	That globalist traitor...
	I saw a new double-haters, is what they call it.
	People who won't vote for Trump or Biden.
	And they mentioned RFK. It's like, well, wait a minute.
	That's three. It's like Monty Python.
	You know, we have two main weapons.
	I mean, three main weapons in the Spanish Inquisition.
	Well, we get triple-haters.
	I'm not voting for any of those guys.
	But because, you know, both of them.
	Put sanctions on us.
	Sanctions on us.
	That's what those lockdowns were.
	They were economic sanctions that they put on us.
	So the United States has dropped a billion dollars, over a billion dollars in ammunition, bombs and things like that, on Yemen.
	We have starved about 180,000 of them to death.
	The Houthis.
	Said that they hit a British-owned oil tanker with missiles, the Andromeda Star.
	They began targeting British and American commercial shipping after the U.S. and the U.K. started bombing Yemen on January the 12th.
	The Yemeni group initially said it only targeted Israeli-linked shipping to protest the siege on Gaza.
	But then we get involved in it, so now they're shooting any U.S. and U.K. things, and they've hit a British ship.
	Hundreds of U.S. and British missile strikes on Yemen have done nothing to deter the Houthis.
	Houthis, maybe, I don't know.
	Who insists the campaign will only stop once there's a ceasefire in Gaza?
	But the U.S. has backed a brutal Saudi UAE, United Arab Emirates and the Saudis, had a war against the Houthis.
	From 2015, it began with Obama, and then it continued, went from 2015 to 2022.
	And so, out of those seven years, four of them were under Trump.
	Mr. Peacemaker, yeah.
	It involved heavy airstrikes and blockades, and the Hooties only became more of a capable fighting force during that time.
	Wow. So, seems like it's another one of these wars that we get in.
	Asymmetric. That doesn't seem to be working too well.
	I mentioned the M1 Abrams tanks that are being taken out in Ukraine.
	Russia released footage yesterday showing, it's kind of a trophy footage, showing them taking out an M1 Abrams tank and then showing them towing the destroyed tank because they're going to take it to Moscow and put it on display.
	They are going to be doing that with a lot of destroyed equipment.
	There you go. There's the video.
	People can see that happening there.
	You can leave that up while I talk.
	A video apparently filmed from a drone shows the Abrams tank being hit on the side with a large pillar of fire immediately erupting from the top of the vehicle.
	Three Ukrainian crew members are seen exiting the burning tank and crawling away from the danger zone.
	The Abrams crew is normally four.
	It's unclear what happened to the remaining service member.
	I don't think it's unclear at all.
	A clip of the tank then being towed to the rear.
	A Russian group spokesperson, they call it the center group, Alexander Savchuk said the U.S.-made armor would be displayed at a major trophy show in Moscow, which will also feature dozens of other Western-made heavy vehicles captured during the conflict.
	The U.S. has sent Ukraine a total of 31 M1 Abrams tanks.
	According to the New York Times, as of late April, Moscow has taken out at least five, with three more moderately damaged.
	Most reportedly hit by Russian kamikaze drones.
	Well, I don't know what moderately damaged means, but if it's out of commission because they've got to repair this thing, that means they've taken out a quarter of them in a short period of time.
	As I said in the very beginning, well, you've got your vaunted expensive tanks, but they'll burn just like all the rest of them do.
	And, of course, there's now a lot of back and forth in the media.
	People posting Russian losses, Russians posting Ukrainian losses.
	The Washington Post actually talked about Ukrainian losses.
	They said, Ukraine is running out of troops for the U.S. to train.
	Now, you have the Sun, which is owned by the Murdoch family, Rupert Murdoch and the Fox people.
	They put out their casualty list for Russians, and that was put out by Drudge and mainstream media.
	What they were saying was that Moscow has lost 400,000 troops, 3,000 tanks, 500 aircraft, etc.
	The thing that I thought was most interesting about the Rupert Murdoch article, the Murdoch group or whatever you want to call it, Was the fact that they said, well, we think that Russia's only got enough for two more years.
	So then what? You're going to continue to fight them, and you think that you can take this out?
	Chris Christie was saying, hey, you know, we've taken out half of the Russian equipment, so we need to keep this up.
	This is a good investment for us.
	We're using the Ukrainians are fighting and dying for us.
	Well, we can destroy Russian military equipment.
	For what purpose? What's the purpose?
	Why did they do the coup in Ukraine?
	Why did they have a civil war where they shelved civilian population for eight years?
	And why do they keep pressing and pressing and pressing to take out Russia?
	It's because of their geopolitical goals.
	That's what they're pushing us into.
	And so what happens when you take out the last Russian tank and they've still got nuclear weapons?
	Then what do you do? As a matter of fact, there is a lot of push about Biden saying, well, I'm going to sign this agreement with Ukraine to keep us involved in this war for 10 years.
	10 years? They're not interested in coming to any peace agreements.
	They don't want to stop any of this.
	They're perfectly fine to kill Russians and Ukrainians.
	You know, when you look at what kind of law...
	This is tremendous, right?
	450,000 soldiers.
	Nevertheless... What did the Russians take in World War II? As Gerald Slenty had said from the very beginning, he said, you think you're going to beat these people?
	Look at how they absorbed all this stuff.
	And, you know, you can go back to the Napoleonic Wars, but more recently, and in the memory of most Russians there, in World War II, when Hitler attacked, they had 8.6 million military casualties, 13.7 million civilian casualties.
	24 million.
	I'm sorry, 21 million altogether.
	And the total population of Ukraine is 37 million.
	How's this thing going to work out?
	As the retired military Colonel Douglas McGregor said, this was obvious from the very beginning.
	This is like saying that you've got a war between Mexico and America, and you're going to bet on Mexico?
	I mean, just the sheer size of the economy.
	And when you look at this and say, well, they've only got two more years of weapons there, they're outproducing the U.S. and Europe in terms of munitions, in terms of shells and things like that.
	This is absolutely insane.
	It truly is. The Washington Post said, we are seeing a depletion of the personnel pipeline on the Ukrainian side.
	Zelensky insisted in February that his forces had suffered only 31,000 fatalities in two years of fighting.
	American and Ukrainian officials know this figure is a gross understatement, says the Washington Post.
	But they admitted that Zelensky must find a way to inspire more Ukrainian men to come to the front lines, so said one U.S. source.
	That's okay if you lie. I mean, this is wartime.
	Truth is the first casualty.
	So yeah, he's going to lie about casualties.
	A Ukrainian lawmaker said, we see so many deaths, so many wounded.
	If they go, troops want to know how long will they be there?
	Until you die.
	Until your country is destroyed.
	As Alexei Arrestovich pointed out.
	He said in three years, and it was in three years, he said in 2019, after Zelensky got elected on a platform of peace, He said, well, he was the representative to the peace talks, and the reporter asked him, so is there any chance?
	He goes, not a chance. No chance for peace.
	He says, as a matter of fact, it's going to get worse.
	And in three years, in 2022, we will be invaded by the Russians.
	Oh, this is horrible, she said.
	He goes, oh, the country will be havoced.
	There'll be nothing left. She said, that's horrible.
	He said, but the good news is we get into NATO. And so he was somebody who was just...
	Cold-blooded candor.
	I mean, he didn't even try to sugarcoat anything.
	He got kicked out of this administration when there were some cruise missiles from the Russians that veered into a civilian building, and he told the truth about that, too.
	He said, yeah, they weren't targeting the building.
	They were hit by ground fire, and then they veered off course and went into that building.
	So they fired him. Because they had a narrative out there saying the Russians are targeting civilian buildings like the Zelensky administration had done and Donbass and other areas.
	So they kicked him out, but he's back.
	According to the Russian Defense Ministry, Ukraine lost more than 160,000 troops during last summer's counteroffensive, out of nearly a half million during the entire conflict to date.
	Zelensky's former presidential advisor, Alexei Arrestovich, has claimed that Ukraine has lost up to 300,000 men so far.
	I would go with that figure.
	He may be a cold-blooded killer.
	He may have absolutely no regard for his own people, but he'll tell you the unvarnished truth.
	He really doesn't care. So Biden is trying to prevent a future president, who would that be, Trump, from ending the Ukraine war by putting in place a 10-year agreement.
	Okay, well, let's understand that these agreements, just like the Paris Climate Accord or these other things, if they're not ratified by the Senate, they're not worth the paper they're written on.
	And any president could remove that.
	However, this will be effective if Trump becomes president because Trump will cow back and he will not do anything about it.
	That will be his excuse.
	That'll be Trump's excuse not to take on the military-industrial complex.
	That'll be Trump's excuse not to take on NATO. He'll whine and complain about how unfair it is and how they tied his hands and all the rest of this...
	Pure Bolshevik stuff that he threw at us in the first term.
	But he won't do a thing.
	And we know because we've seen all this stuff before.
	We've seen it with the Paris Accord.
	We've seen it with DACA, for example.
	DACA, an executive order from the Obama administration, his head of Homeland Security said that she was not going to enforce the law.
	That's what it means.
	Deferred action on childhood arrivals. I'm going to defer enforcing the law. Well you don't have the authority to do that. So is an invalid executive order to begin with. But it was simply an order from the previous president and Trump could have Instead, he said, well, let me ask the courts if I can do this.
	And he played that game, and the courts said, no, you can't do it.
	Oh, okay, well, my hands are tied.
	I can't do it. That's what he'll do with this as well.
	This is not going to change between Trump and Biden, regardless of who gets there.
	This 10-year agreement is not to bind Trump to anything.
	It is to give him an alibi.
	Folks, they're on the same team.
	They're controlled by the same people.
	Yes, there are factions competing.
	It's a Game of Thrones.
	They very much want to get the other guy out, and they want to get in.
	And the same thing is true of their masters in the CIA. The CIA is not monolithic.
	You've got people like Brennan and Clapper and that ilk on one side.
	And on the other side, you've got people like Steve Pachinik and Jack Posobiec and, you know, others that are not very well seen.
	But you've got people in the intelligence community that are hard right, just like you've got people who are hard left.
	And so, you know, those are some of the ones that we've seen that are out there in the media pushing disinformation.
	So Trump will do nothing. So this is an agreement that would last for 10 years.
	Remember earlier I said, you know, they're saying, well, I think Russia's going to be out of conventional arms in two years.
	Well, then what? Nuclear arms?
	Is that what happens? Is that the plan?
	You're going to go for 10 years in this war?
	And no nukes in that amount of time?
	Is that what we're supposed to believe?
	So, Biden indicated that it will likely include agreements on long-term support, centering on military hardware and joint arms production.
	So, yeah, Trump is not going to get out of that.
	That'll be his excuse. The Wall Street Journal said the goal is to make sure that Ukraine will be strong enough in the future to deter Russia from attacking it again.
	More immediately, Ukraine's Western allies hope to discourage the Kremlin from thinking that it can wait out the Biden administration for a potentially more sympathetic successor at the White House.
	And so, again, we're going to have him pretend that he can't do anything at all about this.
	The U.S. and the U.K. are pushing for total war on all fronts, says a political analyst at RT, and I think we can see that.
	If they're not interested in peace talks, if they shut them down, if they never mention it, And on all fronts, what he means is whether you're talking about Iran and Israel, whether you're talking about China and Taiwan, or whether you're talking about Russia and Ukraine, we want to be involved in all of those.
	U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson did a complete 180 on Ukraine.
	He proclaimed himself to be a Reagan Republican.
	No, he's a quizzling Republican.
	Look, I regard myself as a wartime speaker.
	I mean, in a literal sense, we are.
	I knew that when I took the gavel.
	I didn't anticipate that this would be an easy path.
	Former Speaker Newt Gingrich posted a couple days ago on his social media that this is the hardest challenge that's faced a speaker probably in the history of the country, in the moment we're in right now.
	He said, arguably, maybe comparable to the Civil War, but maybe worse.
	Yeah, well, maybe worse.
	With any luck, we can make it worse, right?
	So what's going to happen if, let's say, there's an EMP? That's the easy thing for anybody to do.
	It really is.
	You know, close only counts, as they say, in horseshoes and nuclear war.
	But you don't even have to be close with an EMP. It just exploded in the atmosphere.
	Well, here's a few dozen things here that might happen.
	24 things that'll occur if a country is hit with an EMP. I'll just read the different things off real quickly here.
	Number one, no electricity.
	A supply chain breakdown, transportation services disrupted, data loss, medical services impacted, infrastructure breakdown, communication services shut down, vehicles shutting down because of the electronics inside of them, ATMs and banks closing, fires, a lot of power fires because of backup, no water, Confusion and chaos.
	A loss of jobs. Possible economic collapse.
	No heating or cooling.
	There we go. Green at last.
	Green at last. Just see that.
	These people out there. Look at this.
	We finally got our green dystopia here.
	Intruders and looting.
	Medication shortage.
	Medication time. You want to hear Nurse Ratched?
	No harvest.
	No harvest. Again, famine.
	Stock market crash.
	Empty grocery shelves.
	Impassable roads, even if you've got a working car.
	No septic system.
	Planes may be grounded.
	Oh, you can bet on that.
	And then long-term effects.
	But hey, you know, Michael Johnson is up for this.
	Because he's a wartime speaker.
	Aren't we blessed to be led by such a wise man?
	Such a wise man of integrity as Michael Johnson.
	A wartime speaker to take us into war.
	Elvis. Ladies and gentlemen, the Beatles.
	And the sweet sounds of Motown.

	I wanted to...
	I've got a lot of birthday wishes from people, so thank you very much for that.
	As a matter of fact, on Rockfin, Dougalug, thank you for the tip.
	Says, happy birthday, David.
	Have a drink on me. Well, thank you very much.
	Well, for $10, I can get a lot of coffee, I think, with that.
	Keep me awake here.
	Gregory Dish, thank you very much.
	He says, keeping the gas needle up for the month, I think it's better late than never.
	Well, thank you. Appreciate that.
	Yeah, I started marshalling the troops a bit late this month, even with all of the extraordinary generosity of people on Friday and the matching funds from Fay.
	We're at about seven-eighths, and so I really do appreciate that.
	Thank you very much.
	And Gard Goldsmith on Rockfin.
	Thank you, Gard. He sent a tip.
	He says, happy birthday, David.
	He said, you offer the gift of Christ and wisdom, and you're truly a gift.
	Well, thank you. Have a great day, and thank you for everything.
	Well, thank you, Gard.
	I got your book.
	He found in a used bookstore, he found a book about Brazil that I've referenced so many times.
	It's because it's this dark satire, which unfortunately seems to be a blueprint for all the rest of these things.
	What are you talking about? 1984 or Brave New World, and it was kind of a Monty Python take on that.
	But from the SWAT teams to the rest of the stuff that's happening, it unfortunately looks like a blueprint.
	And he found a book on it and sent that to me.
	So thank you, Gardner. Appreciate that very much.
	And Eric on Rockfin.
	Thank you so much for that.
	I appreciate that. Well, as I said, this is my birthday, so I wanted to do some things that...
	Maybe you're not right on the center of all of this.
	Just, oh, yeah, got it.
	Thank you. Yeah, this is the book.
	Thank you, Gard. Appreciate that.
	The Battle of Brazil.
	The real story of his victory over Hollywood.
	And I remember when that happened.
	Karen and I went to see it.
	They did not like...
	And the fact that he didn't follow the happy ending script for Hollywood.
	And I think that did hurt him in terms of box office.
	But he had a movie that he wanted to do.
	He had an idea for it.
	And they tried to block it.
	He held a screening and had a bunch of film critics that he showed the film to.
	And they voted it the best picture of the year.
	And a battle over what was happening.
	And so he got to release that version.
	Undeterred, they still went back and they edited a version of it which is called the Love Conquers All version of it.
	So it was all just a bad dream and everything is a happy ending and that type of deal.
	So, yeah, it was interesting what happened with it.
	But anyway, thank you, Gard.
	I appreciate that. And as I said, we're going to take a little bit of time here to take a look at some of the tech follies that are out there.
	Because when we look at these technocratic overlords, it's good to remind ourselves that they are human just like us.
	They have feet of clay just like us.
	They fail at a lot of this stuff.
	And if God doesn't want them to succeed, they won't succeed.
	They trust in their chariots and the horses and their Reaper drones and their M1 Abrams tanks, but God can take those things away.
	Apple is slashing their Vision Pro shipment projections by 50% as demand for the $3,500 headset craters.
	Who would have thought it?
	From the very beginning of this, I saw this thing and I went hysterical laughing because I remembered Ernie Kovacs.
	And very popular in the very, very early days of television, the very, very early days of me.
	I watched him when I was preschool, even.
	And I remember he had this character that looked very much like an Apple VR headset.
	He was so ahead of his time.
	He made fun of this guy, a poet character that he created.
	He called it the Percy Dove consoles.
	And he's got his hair slicked down and he's got glasses on that have eyes painted on them.
	And so they're kind of projected and lifted off.
	It looks like they're magnified, but they're actually kind of in front of him.
	And I was absolutely amazed at that when I was a toddler watching it.
	It's like, how did he do that?
	You know, look at those eyes.
	And that's what you see with the Apple Vision headset.
	It's taking pictures of your face all the time and tracking your eyes and doing all this stuff.
	And then it projects your eyes onto the Vision Pro thing.
	The problem is that the Vision Pro thing is a few inches away from your face.
	So these eyes are projected out there like Percy Dove consults.
	Here's what he'd give you an idea.
	And by the way, When you listen to him, he sounds like Milton from The Office as well when he does his character.
	So it's like he's wearing a VR headset, an Apple VR headset, from 60 years, 65 or more years ago.
	He's got an Apple VR headset, and he's doing a Milton impersonation from The Office.
	To business. Oh, I pity the obtainer.
	Seems to be quite a bit mythic.
	Yeah, and so he pities the obtainer because he's sitting there drinking.
	Of course, the other character that this Apple headset reminds me of is the movie Steve Martin, The Jerk.
	And he comes up with this invention, and he becomes a millionaire overnight.
	But then they find out that his glasses, his special glasses, are actually making everybody cross-eyed.
	And so then everybody in the world sues him, and he becomes a pauper overnight.
	But this is the Apple Vision headset now.
	Meanwhile, we have, when you look at the transhumanists, kind of on a serious side, And you look at the guy, Nikola Tesla, who is just worshipped by everybody.
	You know, of course, Elon Musk named his car company, took his last name.
	I mentioned for the longest time, you know, he had Edison stole his inventions, and then final insult is Musk stole his name posthumously.
	But you had another car company that came out that actually took his first name to reference him.
	So these technologists really do love Tesla.
	He was ahead of himself in so many amazing different ways.
	But one of the things he's not really talked about with Tesla, except it's been a thread on Substack by a guy named Matt Eret, E-H-R-E-T. And he's got a series of articles on Substack.
	The occult Nikola Tesla.
	And he's looking at his philosophical beliefs.
	And they were very occultic by his own profession.
	He's a bit of a huckster, a showman, you know, manipulating the crowds to believe in things that were not really happening there as well.
	This is from Exposé News.
	Rhonda Wilson commented on his column.
	She said, many people have played important roles in contributing to the emergence of AI over the years.
	Few have been credited as being the father of AI. Matt Arrett believes those who credit Tesla as the father of AI to be more correct.
	He had a very particular relationship with robots, explicitly considered these to be beings, which he called his tele-omata, to be nothing less than a new species that he himself had evolved.
	As a matter of fact, I think he was referring to them as tel automata before the term robot came out.
	Robot was from a play that was written by some Czech author, and it was the Czech word for slave.
	But he's calling them tel automata.
	His use of the term to say that I have evolved when describing what he treated as a new species should make anyone aware of the religious cult of transhumanism more than a little bit uncomfortable.
	As a matter of fact, this is something that he shares with all the people who talk about AI. As I've talked many times about Hugo de Garris and He and other researchers who are secular atheist materialists will say, we are creating a godlike intelligence here with artificial intelligence.
	The question is, is it going to kill us?
	And if it is going to kill us, should we continue if there's a risk that it's going to kill us?
	That type of thing. So they really do think that they are creating some kind of godlike intelligence.
	That's the... The term that many of them use.
	And yet, even though they think that there's a pretty good possibility that that godlike intelligence might turn on them and turn on all of us and squash us like a bug, they are determined as a group, the vast majority of them, when he asks them that question, they're determined to move ahead.
	And I guess it's because if you create the godlike intelligence, even if it destroys you, well, then I mean that you're godlike, right?
	And that's what it's all really about, isn't it?
	You know, from the Garden of Eden on, it's like, you'll become like God.
	You'll live forever. Well, I'll live forever somehow, even if it's my creation that is there.
	Or maybe I can transfer myself.
	The ultra-materialist idea.
	Going to transfer yourself into some machine or to some robot as a cyborg or something like that.
	They don't even have any idea what they are.
	They're so materialistic, they think that the mind and the soul and the spirit and all the rest of the stuff is something that just kind of spontaneously happens when you get the brain exactly right.
	So they keep trying to make a more exact copy of the brain.
	They have no idea.
	These people, like I said, to Zoltan Isvan, I said, so you're going to transfer what into a machine as a cyborg?
	What are you? Do you have any idea?
	And why do you think that?
	What evidence do you have for any of that?
	And so...
	In the occult Nikola Tesla series, Matt Eret gives a narrative of Tesla's life and the dark forces, the occultic forces beneath it.
	And I would say that that also applies to Elon Musk when you look at it.
	He says, you know, when you look at AI... He said a dispute has raged over what it is.
	So you've got two camps. One of them is just looking at it as a regular technological progression.
	It's going to be an extension of automation and computing, and it will be in the service of human needs.
	But it will not be capable of replacing human creative reasoning.
	So that's one group of people, one camp, one line of thought.
	The other line of thought, he said, is a lot more mystical, Darwinian, occultic.
	It's more religiously inclined.
	And these are people who we talk about as being transhumanists.
	They tend to treat artificial intelligence like Elon Musk said, we're going to summon the demon, right?
	They tend to treat it as some kind of a supernatural demonic Darwinian force beyond human control.
	With free will, with intentions, that compels humanity towards its own extinction.
	And I think that's kind of interesting because that's what I see from these people who are secular atheists.
	Whether they embrace that or not.
	And so the people who would embrace that are people like Ray Kurzweil, Yuval Harari, the people who by the way seem to have a real contempt for the human race.
	And also in that group is Elon Musk, a big believer in transhumanism, a big believer in the technocracy.
	And when you look at the kinds of technology that they put in there, transhumanism, transferring our conscience into something else that they think, these are people who focus on things like neural chips and brain-computer interfaces and mRNA biotech, because Musk has done that.
	You know, he was there at the very beginning with his mRNA stuff.
	CRISPR babies, virtual reality, all the rest of this stuff, VR. That is all there.
	And you know, when you look at Elon Musk, he talks about summoning the demons and things like that.
	He's very much like Bill Maher, who said about abortion, he said, well, yeah, it is kind of like murder, isn't it?
	And I'm okay with that.
	And these people are saying, well, it is kind of like the end of the human race, and it is this superpower, this godlike intelligence, and I'm okay with that.
	Really. And then on the other side, you've got people like Ted Kaczynski, the Unabomber, who, you know, is kind of like the Sarah Connors trying to take out these different powers there.
	Tesla had a very particular relationship with robots, says Matt Arrett.
	He considered these to be beings.
	He called his tele-automator that he had evolved this.
	Not only did Tesla believe that he had evolved a new soulless being as he believed himself to be.
	He believed he didn't have a soul.
	He didn't know what he is.
	But he also believed that this new species would provide a total understanding of the machine known as humans.
	Very smart guy.
	But God has chosen foolish things in this world to confound the wise, hasn't he?
	Perhaps most jarring is that Tess also believed this new species would help future social engineers better understand how the human machine could be more effectively programmed.
	So even though a lot of people will say Boston mathematician John McCarthy was the father of all of this, or some other individuals, Alan Turing and some others are that,
	but this person says, well, I think really When you look at Tesla, I think he is probably the best example, the one who has the most involvement in this, in terms of moving it forward.
	Some people say Von Neumann, who did games and other things like that.
	But I think you could make a case of it.
	And when you look at his first machine, It was remote-controlled, and he would put this thing up, and it was this floating thing that was in a vat, and it kind of looked like a floating piece of metal.
	And he would ask the audience to ask it mathematical questions, and then he would give the answers.
	And they couldn't figure out how this was happening because he had an assistant who had a remote control in his pocket, and they'd never seen anything like a remote control.
	So he's very advanced.
	He's got a remote control in 1898.
	And yet, you know, a lot of...
	It's a black box with flashing lights, and he's fooling the people there.
	And this author draws a comparison to Elon Musk having a human dressed in a robot suit.
	Or you could talk about the Cybertrucks.
	That would be another example of this.
	In a 1900 article... Tesla wrote of his new evolved machine.
	He said, the art that I have evolved does not contemplate merely the change of direction of a moving vessel.
	It affords a means, because that's what he had was this thing in a tank, and he could move it around, or he could answer mathematical questions with a flashing light.
	It affords means of absolutely controlling in every respect the innumerable transitory movements as well as the operations of all internal organs.
	And so again, he reduces man to nothing other than the material stuff that he can observe.
	A very naive approach, actually.
	So, he says, remember that Tesla believes that all humans, including himself, are automatons.
	Meaning that he believes that future creator alpha machines like him will inevitably act as a master race.
	The higher automata to the lower automata that will be programmed.
	On this point, Tesla directly stated, I am proving constantly by every thought and act of mine that I am nothing more than an automaton, responding to external stimuli and passing through an infinitude of different existences from cradle to grave.
	Well, in that regard, he doesn't mention this in this article, but in that regard, I see him as connected to B.F. Skinner, who believed that we were simply auto-mata or whatever that could be programmed with different training things just like any animal could.
	And, of course, B.F. Skinner came up with masterful tactics to program animals and Rather than punish them if they got the wrong thing, he gave them positive operant conditioning to get dolphins and all kinds of lesser intelligent animals to be able to train them with tricks and that type of thing.
	But he was very adamant.
	B.F. Skinner was very adamant that we don't have freedom and we don't have dignity.
	That human beings are nothing more than animals or robots.
	And, you know, when we look at this, I guess many of us would be tempted to say that, based on what we saw in 2020, where they took away our freedom with lockdowns, they took away our dignity with masks, but many of us never went for that.
	And there's something else that is involved here.
	Yes, each and every one of us has a materialistic, animalistic side that can be manipulated, but And the people who do not choose to do something with their spirit can have their mind and body controlled by these people.
	But we're not like that.
	We don't have to be like that.
	That is not the way that we have to live.
	There is no control that they exercise over us if we're connected to God.
	And that is not going to be the way that we are going to live.
	And we ought to be confident about that.
	But they are working very hard to completely alter society.
	And this has been going on for a very long time.
	The universal basic income that Trump moved the Overton window to with his sanctions, his lockdowns, his stimulus checks, and all the rest of this stuff.
	I've been talking about that for years.
	And you go back into the mid-2000s and South Korea was talking about what percentage of different professions were going to lose their job to artificial intelligence or to robotics or a combination of those two things.
	Interestingly enough, even before ChatGPT, they decided that there's going to be white-collar jobs like doctors and lawyers that were going to have the highest unemployment.
	They're going to lose something like 70-something percent, whereas people working in factories, there's going to be 50 percent unemployment for them.
	That's the future that they're trying to design for us.
	And when we look at what Gavin Newsom is doing in California, I said from the very beginning, yes, people will look at the economic consequences and the folly of minimum wage, but I said there's something else happening here.
	This is not simply another Democrat naively trying to give everybody a sugar high with a temporary increase in their wages until the effects kick in and the prices of everything go up.
	He only did it to fast food chains, to large fast food chains.
	And I said at the time that the purpose was so that these people would bring in robots.
	Now, here's a robot. This one is coming out of China.
	Here it is doing all kinds of kitchen tests.
	There it is flipping pancakes, doing a really good job of that.
	Cooking, slicing, dicing, all the rest of the stuff.
	Serving people. Opening up bottles and all the rest of this stuff.
	I said at the time, and I still believe even more so now, that for him to move against simply the fast food restaurants was a way to financially incentivize them to replace people with robots.
	Because he's got a lot of tech companies in California.
	They will always tell you that they're there for the working man.
	They're there for the middle class.
	No, they're not. They're there for the elites.
	And the elites that he's there for are going to be the people in Silicon Valley producing AI and robotics.
	Here it is folding a shirt.
	I'm going to smooth it out.
	Oh, isn't that nice? Don't you want to have one of these in your home?
	Well, actually, no. Here it is, building a wooden stool.
	There we are. It's great. Watering your flowers for you.
	Plugging in your lamp.
	Vacuuming. It truly is amazing.
	Now, that is out of China.
	Not out of Silicon Valley, but of course, I think that is why Gavin Newsom gave a big raise.
	Oh, by the way, look at this.
	Now, it says down there that is...
	Move that clock down a little bit for me, Travis.
	It says that there's no teleoperation.
	Here's teleoperation.
	It's following the moves of this guy.
	Now, what it may be doing is watching him instead of having him wired up, which is the way they used to...
	That's the way that Disney used to train, you know, the Hall of Presidents and stuff like that.
	They would have somebody that was all wired up and it would memorize those movements.
	That might have been, it still had that there, so it may have been looking visually at him and, you know, doing the Harpo Marx Lucille Ball thing, you know.
	Move the hands in different ways.
	Anyway, in Tesla's 1937 remarks to George Sylvester V. Reich, he said, What we call soul or spirit is nothing more than the sum of the functioning of the body.
	When this functioning ceases, the soul or the spirit ceases likewise.
	Well, where'd it come from?
	Where'd it come from? You know, if it's something that just spontaneously happened, Why does it go away?
	You know, what is that spark of life?
	They can't answer that.
	I mean, all of the stuff is still there.
	I've used the analogy about evolution many times as well.
	So, you know, I got a mosquito on my hand.
	I smash it. Well, all the components are still there.
	You know, you've got all of the different components to make a mosquito right there.
	How did it get assembled?
	You know, supposedly we came from a goo?
	Well, how did that happen?
	And why isn't that mosquito going to self-reassemble into a mosquito?
	What is it that is the spark of life?
	They don't have any answer for that.
	The Bible does.
	And if you stop and think about how everything is designed, isn't it amazing that somebody as smart as Tesla can't see the design in the universe, can't see the design in the body, That he can look at a car, for example, something far more similar.
	Just think, did that evolve?
	Would he ever say that? Of course not.
	He's blinded by his rejection of God.
	He would never have looked at a complicated machine.
	They didn't have cars at that point in time, I guess.
	Maybe Mercedes had done a horseless carriage or something.
	But he would never look at a complicated machine and just say, that just happened.
	Nobody built that. And yet he would look at the human body or an animal's body or the celestial bodies and he would think that that all just happened by chance.
	That's foolish. The fool has said in his heart, there is no God.
	So, his philosophy of robotics...
	His disdain for free will, just like B.F. Skinner, hated freedom, hated dignity.
	His transhumanist proclivities are all deep causes for concern, and we see that in all these people.
	You see it. Musk worships this guy.
	Musk's grandfather was tied to technocrats.
	He loved the technocracy, tried to overthrow the Canadian government and instill a technocracy.
	He got off from the charges, and then he went to South Africa.
	But that's where Musk comes from.
	And even his profile picture is a Baphomet costume with an upside-down cross on it and all this other satanic symbol.
	I mean, you have to look at that.
	With Elon Musk, you have to say, like the guy in the British skit, To the other German soldier.
	You know, they're Nazis. And he says, Hans, are we the bad guys?
	Why do we got skulls on our uniforms and everything?
	That's silly. You look at Elon Musk and you have to ask that question.
	So, you know, nothing to be concerned about, right?
	And yet we do have a startup that is now using artificial intelligence to edit human DNA. Oh.
	They want to create the world's first open source...
	AI-generated DNA gene editor.
	What happens when it hallucinates?
	And the idea behind this Berkeley-based startup called ProFluent says that they want to make it more available.
	They want to let everybody have a chance at editing human DNA and other DNA. So what could possibly go wrong with that, right?
	Let's democratize this.
	Let's let everybody have a chance to alter The code that God has put in.
	Because, you know, hey, we know so much better than God what things should look like.
	They have new editors that are based on CRISPR, but they are going to open it up to everybody.
	And the rationale for all this, you look at this and say, why would anybody do that?
	What is the point? Well, it's there to ward off disease and other pathogens.
	There we go. More tech bioterror.
	That's what we're talking about. ProFluent claims to have already used one of these AI-generated gene editors, they call it OpenCrispr1, to edit human DNA. The company says it's the world's first open-source AI-generated gene editor.
	We want to spur innovation.
	They want to spur innovation and living things.
	And democratization and gene editing.
	Let everybody do it.
	We all should have one of these little labs in our home where we can sit there and start modifying living things to find out what happens.
	With the goal of pulling the future forward.
	Pulling the future forward.
	Experts told the New York Times what's really holding back the field of gene editing is a number of preclinical studies to show if these edits are safe and effective.
	Who cares? How can we just determine they don't care about that?
	They don't care about safety or efficacy.
	The more dangerous, the better.
	Let's go faster and faster.
	Let's pull the future forward at warp speed.
	That's what we want. We want to go into the future faster.
	Korean neuroscientists are using artificial intelligence to decode people's dreams and their spontaneous thoughts.
	You see, your DNA... Your thoughts, your dreams, nothing is hidden from these people.
	They want to know everything about you.
	They want to be like God, right?
	Because God is omniscient.
	He knows everything about everybody.
	He's always present everywhere, just like Big Brother.
	And he's all-powerful, omnipotent, omnipresent, omniscient.
	They want to be God, these tyrants.
	They demonstrated the possibility of using functional MRI, magnetic resonance imaging, And machine learning algorithms to predict subjective feelings and people's thoughts while reading stories.
	Because spontaneous thought typically occurs without any constraint or consciousness, researching it poses a challenge.
	Even simply asking individuals what they're currently thinking can change the nature of their thoughts.
	It's kind of like the Heisenberg principle.
	You know, you go in and you observe something, well, now you've changed it, you know.
	Quantum mechanics and stuff.
	That's what's happening with us.
	So it makes it really difficult for them to figure out what you're thinking.
	Why do they want to do this?
	Why do governments want?
	Again, because they want to be like God, because they want to be totalitarian tyrants.
	Participants engaged in a one-on-one interview to craft personalized narrative stimuli, reflecting on their past experiences and emotions.
	While participants read their stories, inside the MRI scanner, their brain activity was recorded.
	What does this remind you of?
	It reminds me of Blade Runner, where they get that guy there for an interview and...
	So, you're in the desert, and there's a tortoise, and you turn it over on its back, and it can't get over it.
	It's kicking there in the sun.
	It's miserable. Why don't you help it?
	What are you talking about? What is a tortoise?
	I don't know. What's that turtle? It's a turtle, you know.
	It's a replicant guy that is getting that interview.
	That's the kind of stuff that they're doing.
	Everybody is a test subject for these people.
	It truly is amazing, and yet they are not concerned about any of the consequences.
	The study holds significance as we decoded the emotional state associated with general thoughts, rather than targeting emotions limited to specific tasks.
	And again, why do they want to know your thoughts?
	Well, because we're talking about government, and government needs to know everything, everything about us, while they keep everything from us.
	We just recently had in Tennessee a law to, and of course in New Hampshire as well, and I think there's a couple of other places where they have put this up, said, if you're going to spray anything in the atmosphere, anything, you need to tell us or we're going to hit you with big fines.
	And so you had a lot of these people who had always been saying, well, you know, geoengineering and chemtrails, that's all just a conspiracy theory.
	And some people were mocking Tennessee.
	Look at these people in Tennessee.
	They're thinking all this stuff's happening in New Hampshire.
	And yet, now you've got a scientist who is slamming the politicians for banning the geoengineering experiments.
	See, it goes immediately from conspiracy theory to, you're getting in the way of our scientific experiments.
	They admit it and say it was a good thing.
	In an editorial for the MIT Tech Review, Cornell's Daniel Vizioni wrote that even as researchers and governments begin studying and sometimes conducting early-stage tests, various geoengineering prospects often seed the clouds to spur on rain, to dry out the stratosphere, or to reflect sunlight away from the ground below.
	Some critics are calling to shut these experiments down.
	More than a decade. I was talking about the fact they had annual geoengineering things where they were talking about the best ways to do it.
	Their big concern was, who gets to set the thermostat?
	You know, the Russians may want it warmer.
	People in southern climates may want it colder, that type of thing.
	Who gets to set the thermostat?
	As Vigioni notes, politicians have already begun banning geoengineering experiments.
	Mexico did it. More recently, Tennessee's governor signed a bill into law that bars it under the pretense of so-called chemtrails.
	Yeah, these people mocked it.
	And now they're whining that we're stopping what they said was not existing.
	It turns out that as you look at some of the stuff that was not existing, I've played the clips for you of Sora, the chat GPT video creator.
	There's some very creative stuff that was done, and yet one of the Most interesting demos that was there.
	Turns out it was highly edited by humans.
	It wasn't completely generated by this chat GPT stuff.
	I love the comment here from the author of this article.
	As the saying goes, never trust a tech demo.
	Why? Because the technology people are going to be lying to you.
	And that apparently is the case with Sam Altman and the people that work with and for him.
	At least one of these viral Sora clips, a roughly two-minute video that was titled Airhead, which is so impressive that we blogged about it at the time, had a bit more human mitigation than OpenAI initially suggested.
	And one person exposed it on Twitter.
	Said, remember that Airhead video that was made with Sora?
	Turns out it used a ton of rotoscoping.
	And manual visual special effects.
	A head would pop back on and the balloon colors would keep changing from generation to generation.
	But they were doing that manually.
	Manually. Tesla, by the way, you look at the downturn that's happened in EVs.
	This is one person, Nico Murillo.
	A dedicated Tesla employee, last year the production supervisor did not go home.
	Instead, he slept inside his car in the factory parking lot and he ate microwave meals just so that he could help meet production goals.
	And he's just been fired.
	Summarily fired.
	He said, in spite of all that, earlier this month, He wrote in a LinkedIn post that he got laid off along with 10% of Tesla employees, about 14,000 workers worldwide.
	He was a resident in California.
	He wrote how he had logged on to his company account April the 15th and found that it was deactivated.
	He thought, well, this is a tech issue.
	He didn't even know, right?
	Nobody talked about this.
	Nobody from human resources because, you know, Elon Musk likes robots, not humans so much, I guess.
	So he drove to the Fremont factory, but on the way there, he received an unsettling email while driving his Tesla vehicle on autopilot, informing him that your position has been eliminated by restructuring.
	Well, I guess that's good that he had autopilot so he can sit there and read email and not drive his car into the ditch.
	Sometimes autopilot does that anyway.
	After trying to get into the factory, he was turned away by security.
	He told him that he was laid off.
	He said, I sat in my car in disbelief.
	It worked for Tesla since 2019.
	Another Tesla employee, in the comments, had a similar experience sleeping at the company factory.
	I started as a production associate after putting in the work and learning different positions and skills in different departments across three different factories, sacrificing sleep, staying in my car in the parking lot, showering, heating up dinners in the microwave.
	Similar to you, I got a position as a has-waist tech.
	Same day I started that position, I got an email that my position had been terminated.
	Well, you know, that's the way it works.
	These guys, whether you're talking about Elon Musk firing these people or you're talking about Jeff Bezos pushing his employees so hard that they've got to have a bottle with them at their station because they don't have time to go to the bathroom.
	Or I had a friend who actually worked for Steve Jobs at Apple.
	He was a Macintosh fanatic.
	So two of us met along those lines.
	And he was at an apartment complex.
	He put up a sign on the Mac. He says, you know what one of these are?
	Give me a call. And he and I were really into programming these things.
	And so he got a job as an Apple tech.
	And... He was up in Pittsburgh for a while, and then they took him to the corporate offices, and it was one of the System 7 operating systems.
	Anyway, he was one of the top three guys.
	And he did that for a couple of years, and he was so burned out at the end of that time that he resigned, and he walked the Appalachian Trail for the better part of a year.
	A lot of pressure.
	And these guys don't care.
	They don't treat people as human beings.
	These are the people who want to control the world And we'll use, you know, it's a partnership that they've got, a public-private partnership they have with these NGOs, the World Economic Forum and the UN and all these different government figureheads like Trump and Biden.
	You know, they empower these types of people.
	And it is this symbiotic relationship of parasites to prey on us.
	That's what it is. And so then let's take a look at this video here.
	This is a robo-taxi in India.
	And the company that put this together is actually bragging about it.
	They think this is a good job of driving.
	It is very chaotic.
	There is very narrow roads, dirt roads, holes in the roads.
	You got people all over the place driving and, you know, typically people, it's a difficult thing to drive in.
	There's no rules and there's no lines and all the rest of this stuff.
	He says, if you're able to do this here, you can do it anywhere.
	You know, like New York, New York.
	If I can make it there, I can make it anywhere.
	If we can have a robo-taxi that can drive in this kind of environment in India, then I guess you can do it anywhere.
	Here he is. Now, he's supposed to be on the left side of the road.
	Oh, he just realized that, I guess.
	All these people are having to break for him, right?
	This is the self-driving car.
	And if it wasn't for all the humans in the other car, there would be an accident.
	Because they're the ones that are making the quick reaction responses to this thing.
	It's running people off the road.
	It's coming out to them head-on.
	Look at this. This person has to pull off to the side, off the road, beep the horn at him, and the traffic is backing up behind this car.
	There's a motorcycle. Managed to get around this guy.
	Look at that. Almost did a head-on collision with that one.
	Truly, when you look at this, and they think that this is a win.
	He was all the way over to the wrong side of the road.
	Anyway, as they call it, they say it is Waymo terrifying, like the self-driving taxi.
	An Indian startup company that is there.
	Sway Yacht Robots.
	Driving through absolute chaos on suburban unstructured roads in India.
	Nearly sideswiped that car.
	And making the chaos even worse.
	The white SUV isn't afraid to veer into the path of oncoming traffic.
	Is it doing that out of fearlessness?
	Or is it doing that because it's not driving very well?
	Forcing the other drivers to swerve around it.
	But to the company, that terrifying behavior is entirely intentional.
	There's no traffic rules to abide by on this road other than to perform a left-sided avoidance.
	In other words, they're driving on the left side of the road to try not to hit anything head-on.
	Is it an impressive feat of engineering, or is it a disaster waiting to happen?
	I guess that is the key.
	I think a lot of those drivers who are braking hard and honking, they may think that it was a disaster about ready to happen.
	On Rumble, Sam Jam Balam, thank you very much for the tip.
	It says, happy birthday. Thank you.
	And Delta Mike, thank you as well.
	Also says, happy birthday.
	It says, grace and peace.
	Yeah, as a matter of fact, let's play that.
	We'll take a quick break and we'll come back with what I call grace and peace.
	Sometimes your day needs a little smoothing.

	Thank you.
	Well, while we were looking at the way more terrifying robotaxis that they have in India, Ford loses $1.3 billion on electric vehicles in the first quarter of 2024.
	By the way, while we're talking about automated cars, somebody put up a video of one of the Waymo cars in San Francisco.
	Driving on the wrong side of the road, adamantly doing it, in order to pass up some people who were on some of these big wheel things that you stand on and lean.
	And it wasn't moving fast enough for this slow-moving robo-car.
	But when you look at Ford, lost $1.3 billion.
	And I had somebody correct me on a couple of different things.
	I've been... Really swapping out millions and billions and trillions.
	And they corrected me on that.
	We'll get to that in just a moment when we talk about money.
	But yeah, this is with a B. $1.3 billion.
	They're losing $132,000 on each electric vehicle that they sell.
	How do you do that? I mean, their electric vehicles are incredibly expensive to start with.
	What are they going to do? Sell these trucks, these pickup trucks for a quarter of a million dollars in order to make a profit on them?
	So, and it really hasn't, the bloodletting really hasn't started yet.
	Because China is so efficient.
	Because they've got slave labor, but especially because they've got a big advantage in the cost of energy.
	And that's a big deal with manufacturing.
	And because they have access to raw materials and other things like that, they're starting to cut the prices in a price war on this stuff.
	So it's only going to get worse. Price war is now just now starting.
	Americans don't want EVs at the levels of Biden's climate hysteria require, says Andy Pudzner on X. Ford's EV quarter one losses soared to $1.3 billion, a ridiculous $132,000 loss per EV sold.
	All of Ford's profits came from internal combustion engine vehicle sales.
	Collectivist policies destroy prosperity, and they do it by design.
	This is their intention. They meant to do this.
	Another person says, well, this does not appear to be sustainable.
	And they don't want to sustain the private ownership of cars.
	They pointed out in this article on What's Up With That, they said not too many people know that Henry Ford and Thomas Edison were good friends, and they worked together to develop an electric automobile back in the day.
	But you know, the problem is they're not...
	Henry Ford and Thomas Edison were not nearly as smart as Biden and Kerry and Pete Boutier.
	They're so much smarter than those guys.
	They're going to be able to fix this all, right?
	So the problem with Henry Ford and Thomas Edison, they were just engineers.
	These guys are politicians.
	And they know that you can just make things appear out of nowhere.
	I mean, they do it with their money all the time, don't they?
	And so they can just write rules and regulations and presto digito.
	People like Henry Ford and Thomas Edison make this into reality.
	So, you know, when you look at that video, what happened to the electric car?
	It's amazing how that thing went around.
	I had so many people showing that video to me, recommending that video to me 15, 20 years ago.
	It was kind of like the Uncle Tom's cabin of electric vehicles.
	It was the thing that motivated everybody.
	You know, oh, we've got to have electric cars.
	It's a conspiracy to get rid of the electric cars.
	Well, here's what failed with Henry Ford and Thomas Edison when they worked together to create an electric car.
	Edison's batteries were found to have very high internal resistance and were thus incapable of powering an electric car under most circumstances.
	It was the battery that killed the electric car.
	Same thing as killing it today.
	Heavier lead-acid batteries, which would have made the car too ponderous, were substituted behind Henry Ford's back.
	And when he found out, he went ballistic and he shut the project down.
	So again, their batteries didn't work.
	They tried to fake it with the kind of batteries that have been used always now in internal combustion engines, lead-acid batteries.
	Ford invested $1.5 million in the electric car project.
	He nearly bought 100,000 batteries from Edison before the project fell apart.
	Well, he was lucky.
	Because, you know, even if, you know, this is before the Federal Reserve, Killed like 99% of the purchasing power of the dollar.
	So let's multiply it by 100 times, right?
	So let's say $150 million.
	He still only lost about a tenth of what Ford Motor Company lost on EVs.
	So he lucked out.
	He, you know, is much smarter than the people running Ford today.
	Will we have cheaper Teslas?
	Well, China says you ain't seen nothing yet.
	They're getting ready to start a blood war.
	And so all these people who, you know, I'm not a Trump fan, but all of this nonsense when he said, that's going to be, you know, bloodbath, he's talking about this.
	Talking about the fact that there's absolutely no way that we can compete with the Chinese on these electric vehicles because of Paris, because of the Paris Climate Accord, the cheap power that has been given to them, their advantage.
	We're not even going to be allowed enough power under the Paris Climate Accord, which Trump left in.
	We are not going to have enough power to even run our own EVs, let alone manufacture them.
	We're not even going to be able to run what we've got.
	They're going to use your car if you get an EV. They're going to use it as an extra battery.
	Sorry, you can't drive it.
	We've got to suck the juice out of it.
	Hook it up, that type of thing.
	Tesla chief executive Elon Musk said last week that it is accelerating the launch of more affordable models ahead of the original plan to do it in late 2025.
	So they're working with the Chinese.
	They're going to perhaps move their production there.
	Maybe that's why he's laying off the people who have been so dedicated, sleeping in their cars, working around the clock.
	No, they're going to be replaced with Chinese cheap labor.
	And so...
	Again, as I mentioned earlier, the self-driving Waymo that was spotted going down the wrong side of the street in San Francisco.
	I wonder if, like, you know, Jeff Bezos and his Amazon stores, they had the just walk out grocery stores.
	You just grab stuff and just walk out.
	We'll send you the bill. And supposedly it was artificial intelligence that was recognizing everything they had and going to a total night out, recognizing them, recognizing what they had.
	And it turns out it was a thousand people in India watching and writing down the products that people were buying So maybe this self-driving Waymo, you know You saw that picture that one struggling through the streets and of course in India they drive on the wrong side of the road like the British do We drive on the right side of the road. They drive on the wrong side of the road They drive on the left side. And so maybe it was being driven by some people in India this Waymo in San Francisco
	Maybe being driven remotely by people in India who still think that they're on the other side of the road Footage shows a vehicle passing a group of electric-powered unicyclists and scooters.
	Yeah, they had lights all over the unicycles and their helmets.
	Tried to overtake the unicyclists by driving entirely on the left side of the road and staying there.
	Fortunately, one of the group of unicyclists managed to get the vehicle to stop by getting in front of it and stopping himself.
	Yeah, you want to drive in San Francisco?
	You got Waymo taxis, unicyclists with lights all over their heads and all the rest of the stuff.
	Would a human driver really take over the entire opposing lane instead of simply slowing down or pulling over?
	The guy literally stops in front of it and gestures it back into the lane.
	Well, he's got a lot more confidence in that technology than I do.
	Makes me wonder if the Waymo would have continued on the wrong side of the road if this guy hadn't stopped in front of it to get to stop driving on the wrong side of the road.
	Well, again, you think that that thing is going to recognize you?
	We've already had a lot of accidents where it ran over a dog.
	It collided with a cyclist and all the rest of the stuff.
	So it was in some hot water with a California DMV. But we were always told these things are not going to have accidents because it's a collective mind.
	And whenever something happens with one of these machines, they all learn at the same time.
	Is that why they all went to one intersection and stopped?
	Blocked that intersection?
	Is that why they freeze up on the side of the road?
	I think we've been sold a bill of goods.
	I think this is pretty much in the category of what Tesla was doing in 1898 with these other people.
	And that's not the only place where they've sold us a bill of goods.
	Electrical grid operators are sounding the alarm over these new EPA rules.
	This week, four new rules, four new dictates from the EPA. There's not going to be any juice for your EV. You can't cut loose without that juice.
	And they're going to take down the power supplies.
	They're going to take down the grid. You know, Biden is busy telling everybody that everything's got to be electrified and everything's got to be on the grid while he is destroying the grid.
	Electric grid operators are sounding alarm bells everywhere over these new EPA rules.
	They said... There's different grids in the United States.
	There's the PJM grid, 13 states.
	The MISO, 15 states.
	CASO, which is California.
	ERCOT in Texas.
	Adding North Carolina and Tennessee.
	32 states now impacted by grid operators telling us that they're running out of electricity.
	Why is that? Because you've got things like the TVA here in Tennessee shutting down conventional power plants.
	In Texas, they were doing it the entire time I was there.
	And then they're putting up these so-called renewables, which have to have a battery energy storage site, which is unbelievably expensive, still doesn't match the load, and is a fire hazard, an amazing fire hazard.
	California is importing 34% of its electricity to tell people, you know, we got clean air here because we're not going to generate it here.
	We're going to bring it in from some other place.
	Because the same thing that other people are doing with Paris.
	Say we're going to manufacture everything in China and India.
	And they can have as dirty a power plants as they wish.
	We don't care. We won't see it.
	It'll be out of sight. They had said 75% variation in daily wind volume or speed for power generation.
	So stuff is varying by 75%.
	What makes up that difference?
	Oh, well, we're going to have these massive battery storage sites.
	No problem.
	The Manhattan contrarian says,"...in my self-designated role, critiquing various schemes for total transformation of the world's energy system, I get to review large amounts of poor, shoddy, and incompetent work." He says,"...start with the fact that the so-called smartest people are filled with arrogance and hubris,
	but are not actually very smart." Add that many innumerate politics and English majors have flooded into a field that cries out for engineering calculations.
	But in a field rife with bad, worse, and still worse, and even dangerously incompetent work, I don't know if I've ever seen anything as shockingly inept as a report just out from the International Energy Agency about batteries.
	The big battery system.
	The worst thing he's seen.
	If I'd been given the assignment by the North Koreans to write a report to somehow induce the West to self-destruct, I don't know how I could have done it any better.
	And that's really what we're talking about here.
	They really want us to self-destruct.
	The thesis of the report is that batteries, and particularly lithium-ion batteries, are the key to the impending energy transition.
	And they need to be scaled up massively and immediately with whatever amount of government subsidies and handouts it takes.
	That's what all this stuff is about.
	It truly is amazing.
	Well, I'm going to take a quick break here.
	Let me thank some of the people who have left tips on Rockfin.
	James, thank you very much.
	On Rumble, 4CanGold says, thank you for the tip.
	He says, happy birthday, David.
	Well, thank you. Thank you for sharing your knowledge on a daily basis.
	Well, thank you for sharing your time here and for sharing with us.
	Thank you so much. Rumble, Awootz, thank you for the tip.
	Happy birthday, David. It was a great day in Florida in 1955.
	My father was also born.
	We share the same birthday exactly about that.
	And in Florida as well.
	That's cool. Interesting side note.
	John von Neumann became a Christian near the end of his life.
	Wow. Well, that's good.
	I wonder what he would think about transhumanism.
	I think he would probably not be too impressed with it at all.

	You're listening to The David Knight Show.
	Karen came in during the break.
	She said, my dad was also born on the same day in 1955, also in Florida.
	She said, Luke, I am your father.
	Who knows? Well, this is a letter correcting me email, and I appreciate it when I get something wrong, folks.
	Please do let me know. This is from Sam.
	He says, you've been saying the U.S. debt level was $10 billion in 2008.
	It was actually $10 trillion, not billion.
	Now, of course, it's almost $35 trillion, which is bad enough, but it is three and a half times bigger.
	But again, I'm getting older, I guess.
	I guess my response should be, come on, man.
	It works for Biden.
	But as you get older, I guess, things, you know, decimal points start floating around.
	I've done this a couple of times in the last couple of weeks as I was talking about...
	Mike Johnson, and I was talking about the budget and all the rest of the stuff, I started saying he got in $20 billion.
	It hasn't gotten that bad yet.
	$20 million in three months, pretty good pay, isn't it?
	What's he being paid to do?
	Well, we know that he's being paid to betray us, really.
	But let's talk a little bit about money.
	The Chinese have grabbed gold by the throat as capital flight accelerates.
	This is from John Reed, who used that term, grabbing it by the throat.
	A Fed that seemed to be willing to support spending with rate cuts that was wholly unnecessary based on the data they are so dependent on.
	To prompt fear of a policy error.
	So Bloomberg reports juicing the rally is unrelenting Chinese demand on gold as retail shoppers, fund investors, futures traders, and even the central bank look to bullion as a store of value in uncertain times.
	China and India have typically vied over the title of the world's biggest buyer of gold, but that shifted last year as Chinese consumption of jewelry, of bars, and of coins swelled to record levels.
	Chinese bar and coin investments surged 28%.
	Jewelry went up 10%.
	Interesting.
	And you know, I looked at that and I thought, how much is a bar of gold worth?
	Because, you know, Bob Menendez, the crooked Senator in New Jersey, who's already nearly been convicted once, but he had Lindsey Graham show up to be a character witness.
	That's almost like having George Santos show up to be a character witness for you in many different ways.
	We could draw many different parallels between George Santos and Lindsey Graham.
	George Santos, by the way, is now resurrecting his, his, uh, drag queen Persona.
	And you can pay him for pictures of himself as a drag queen, you know, on one of these internet sites.
	He had previously said when, I think it was Reuters or Associated Press, one of those two main things, had turned up pictures of him and Dressed as a drag queen in Brazil, he adamantly said, that's a lie.
	I never did that. That's not me.
	It's not what you think.
	And now he's owning it.
	This guy is just an amazing liar.
	Again, another thing that he shares with Lindsey Graham.
	Yeah, he's hawking.
	His character, he calls it Katara.
	He's now going to bring Katara out of the closet.
	Yeah. Hide your eyes.
	But while we're talking about the gold bars, and we're talking about John Menendez, the friend of Lindsey Graham, Not Joe Menendez, but I forget.
	Bob Menendez. Bob Menendez was caught, if you remember this most recent scandal, when the FBI raided his house.
	They said he had multiple gold bars.
	How much is a gold bar?
	I looked it up today. 400 ounces of gold.
	So we're talking about something nearly a million dollars in each one of these bars, and he had multiples of these.
	Maybe it's Bob Menendez who's driving the price of gold up.
	It's being hoarded not just by the crooked Chinese communists, but by the crooked American Senate as well.
	So anyway, part of what's driving this is the fact that in China, they've got capital controls.
	And so how do you escape capital controls?
	Well, with financial privacy.
	And with things like metals and stuff like that.
	You know, gold and silver and things like that.
	That's how you escape it. They know.
	Everybody's always known that.
	You keep it secret, you keep it safe, as Gandalf said.
	So that's why people are flooding into gold in China, because the economy is going down very rapidly there as well.
	And they also have put in capital controls.
	And Japan... I was surprised to see this because I don't typically keep up with what's going on in the Japanese economy.
	The yen, the Japanese yen, was downgraded to banana republic currency, says the headline, after another roller coaster session.
	Well, that's an insult to all those hard-working people in the malls.
	That's what a Republican candidate said.
	He said, yeah, we've got...
	I don't want to make fun of these people who are working in the Banana Republic stores.
	No, it's not the same thing. The Japanese yen, which increasingly looks like third world Banana Republic currency instead of belonging to the world's third largest economy...
	And which first plunged below $160 versus U.S. dollar, only to soar more than $500 in what is now the first confirmed Bank of Japan intervention since 2022.
	Well, we know that there is, it's official, that the official system everywhere, the financial system everywhere, is set up and ripe for a great reset.
	That's what they're focusing on.
	And Cashless Society, the World Economic Forum, has boasted that 98% of central banks are adopting CBDC. Now, we know this is especially Biden, but it's not limited to Biden.
	You know, Trump is saying, well, I'm not going to do CBDC. Do you really believe it?
	It was kicked off with Jared Kushner and Steve Mnuchin.
	We got the emails. They're talking about how to move to a CBDC during the Trump administration.
	And then you had in March of 2022, you had Biden put out the executive order to every one of the deep state swamp three-letter agencies, however you want to describe them.
	Every single one of them was given four different things that they needed to investigate in order to make CBDC happen.
	And they had six months to report back.
	And so the four different things were they had to completely redesign the financial system.
	That's what's going on worldwide right now.
	They had to completely redesign the financial system.
	You had to come up with a way that the FBI and the Department of Justice was going to force us to use this new financial system.
	And then the people actually going to do the computer coding.
	And then the fourth one was, how are we going to sell to people as green and preferable to cryptocurrency, which supposedly is the big user of electricity, even though that's not the big user of electricity.
	It's really the NSA, the CIA. And then finally, we saw Congressional Whip, Tom Emmer, who is the number three in terms of the Republicans.
	He went public and showed on social media a document that came from the Fed.
	They said, here are primary duties, and they had seven of them.
	And FedNow, which is the wholesale movement and wholesale version of CBDC, was number six, and number seven was CBDC. So it is official.
	Two of the seven key duties of the Federal Reserve revolve around central banks and CBDC. So again, folks, if you want to be outside of the system, Chinese understand it, gold and silver.
	If you want to accumulate some of that, best place to do it, in my opinion, is with Tony Arterman of Wise Wolf.
	And if you go to davidknight.gold, that'll take you to Tony's site.
	And he can handle small or large transactions for you, but he can also get you as part of the buying group.
	You can buy into that at a lot of different levels and you can get group discounts as part of wolfpack and a variety Of different places and you can also handle IRAs gold and silver IRAs. So again go to David night gold I'll take you to Tony Arden you need to make plans on how you're going to get outside this Web that they're weaving for control of everyone. So we're gonna take a quick break and we come back We're gonna talk to Alex Newman about his new book
	Laying out how they have been making designs for how they're going to control and redo society through the schools We've seen that, but it's really important for people to see how this has progressed for about 200 years or so.
	This is a long-term plan.
	These people carefully plan this stuff out.
	And that's what his book really lays out in a very concise way.
	We'll be right back. If you like the Eagles...
	The Cars. And Huey Lewis and the News.

	And speaking of liberties, we have Alex Newman of LibertySentinel.org joining us, and he has just put out an excellent book about education.
	You've heard me on this program for years quote Alex on his, I think, perfect metaphor.
	As a matter of fact, it's one of the chapters that he's got here about the burning building and how the schools are like a burning building.
	Get your kid out of the burning building, then work with your neighbors to put the fire out before it burns down the entire neighborhood.
	And that's what our schools are like and the government involvement in it that he lays out in this book goes back 200 years.
	It's a very meticulous iterative process to get us where we are.
	So joining us now is Alex Newman.
	Good to talk to you again, Alex.
	It is great to be here.
	Thank you so much, David.
	Well, thanks for coming in.
	Let's talk a little bit about this because, you know, there's a lot of familiar names.
	Thomas Dewey of the Dewey Decimal System.
	I remember when I was in Tampa, there was a school that was named after Horace Mann as well.
	And I didn't, at the time, know who he was.
	But when we got into homeschooling, I learned who he was.
	Kind of give us an idea of how this thing has...
	I look at it, and when you look at the table of contents and you read the book, it makes it very clear this is a long-term plan of incremental takeover.
	Very much like what Antonio Gramsci said, you know, we're going to march through the institutions.
	You know, forget about this, you know, shooting people on the streets type of thing.
	It's more effective if we take over the institutions.
	And that's really what they've done.
	It's been a long march through the institution of education that has lasted over 200 years, hasn't it?
	It has. It's been a tremendously powerful movement that has largely operated behind the scenes, at least in terms of their true agenda.
	But it does go back a couple hundred years.
	And I always start with before the government got involved in education, because a lot of people don't even realize there was a time when the government didn't educate our children.
	In fact, there was a time not all that long ago when government didn't educate our children.
	Parents were primarily responsible for that, and if they needed help, they'd go to the church.
	And at that time, we were the best educated people who had ever existed in human history at any place on the planet at any time. It was extraordinary.
	We had 100% literacy rates in our cities.
	We had 95-plus percent in the rural areas.
	Alexis de Tocqueville came here from France in the 1830s and was astounded.
	He said every citizen knows the history of his country, the leading features of the Constitution, the evidences and doctrines of his religion.
	He said everyone gets the elementary notions of human knowledge, which today, you know, we probably equate with a master's or a Ph.D. He says somebody wholly ignorant of these things is a sort of phenomenon.
	They did a study in 1812, DuPont D. Neymar, not more than four and a half 5,000 young people, he said, were unable to write legibly, even neatly.
	So this is where we were at before the government got involved.
	And then came a socialist.
	This was before Karl Marx had come along.
	This was before communism was even a thing.
	His name was Robert Owen. I'm married into a wealthy textile family, an actual socialist, right?
	I mean, back before this was really a thing, he believed so passionately in these silly ideas, you know, get rid of private property, live as a collective, get rid of the family, things like this, that he bought a piece of land in Indiana and started a commune called New Harmony.
	Very rapidly failed.
	The whole thing came crashing down.
	Not because communism is stupid, though, right?
	Not because getting rid of private property and the family doesn't work.
	It happened because these people had been educated and raised in an environment filled with Christians and individualism.
	So he started writing these really weird essays where he argued, actually, really for the first time that I can find since Plato, the raging totalitarian who thought we ought to have philosopher kings lording over us and they could use government schools to brainwash us all into being good, submissive serfs.
	So he argues that the best government would be the one that does the best job educating its population.
	And of course, these ideas did not take off in America.
	As I mentioned, we had a fabulous education non-system where everybody got a great education, mostly at home, to the extent that anybody outside the home was involved.
	It was typically the clergy.
	And he set up a secret society.
	I know, conspiracy here.
	We know about this because a whistleblower We're good to go.
	And then they wanted to get men elected to legislatures who would support that concept.
	But the ultimate objective, this is a direct quote from Oris Brownson, the defector who left this wicked movement, he said the ultimate objective was to get rid of Christianity.
	Because they understood that Christianity was like a big brick wall.
	It was an insurmountable obstacle to their plans for utopia.
	That didn't take off in America, as I mentioned, but the Prussian ambassador got a hold of these ridiculous essays that Owen was writing, and he was very popular at the time.
	There were Owenites, as they were called, his followers and disciples.
	So the Prussian ambassador gets these essays, takes them back to his master, the Prussian dictator, and of course the Prussian dictator was still smarting from losing a war with Napoleon.
	Napoleon, you know, wasn't going well for him.
	So he thought, hey, this is what we need.
	So he orders his interior minister to set up this government school system based on Robert Owen's ideas.
	According to Robert Owen's autobiography, he's so much approved of this idea that he ordered this to be constructed in Prussia.
	First ever education system of the state, by the state, and for the state.
	And then from Prussia, it was re-imported into America by Horace Mann, who you mentioned.
	There are still, all across this country, government brainwash camps masquerading as schools named after Horace Mann.
	The guy was also a socialist.
	He was a Unitarian. He rejected the Bible.
	He believed the government schools should equalize all men.
	He wanted the Bible out of the schools under the guise of getting rid of sectarianism, which we need to understand the Bible was the primary textbook in those days.
	Trying to think of education without the Bible in the early, mid-1800s was like an oxymoron.
	How could you possibly do that?
	So that didn't go over well.
	But he imports the system into Massachusetts.
	Right away, the dumbing down takes off, the quackery takes over, and then he travels across the country like this ridiculous evangelist preaching the good news of salvation by government schools.
	Like, we're going to get rid of 90% of the crimes, and it's just going to be a wonderful utopia.
	And so he gets this system in place in state after state so that by the early 1900s, every state now has intruded somewhat, at least, into education.
	Some have set up, you know, networks of government schools.
	And then World War I, big turning point.
	That's when, for the first time in American history, most American children are in government schools.
	And that's when John Dewey bursts on the scene.
	He had been writing and rambling about education for a long time.
	He actually went to the Soviet Union and just loved what they were doing.
	This is so incredible. And he wrote about it, too, David.
	This is incredible. Everybody who goes to a government college to learn education will learn that John Dewey is this hero, you know, the architect of America's wonderful progressive education system.
	They won't learn about his essays about the Soviet Union, about what a great...
	They were published in the New Republic.
	They're still in their archives.
	And so he wanted that in America.
	And very interestingly, he teams up with the Rockefellers to fund this.
	So, you've got, it sounds like a bad joke, right?
	A super capitalist and a communist walk into a bar and they decide, hey, let's dumb down the population by setting up a government school system.
	But it's the truth. And so, that's kind of the genesis of this, and it's been getting worse with every generation, moving toward this goal of a dumbed down, fully indoctrinated population that will give up its liberties, turn against God, turn against the family, turn against the country, and, you know, revolution by other means, if you will.
	It's fascinating. And I had an example.
	I've talked about this in the past.
	When I was in Raleigh, there was a counselor there before the Soviet Union fell.
	She went to Moscow. She came back.
	She said, you can go anywhere you want to in Moscow for a nickel.
	We need that here in Raleigh.
	And it's like... It's this woman smoking.
	I mean, it sounds just like Dewey.
	But, yeah, it is interesting, isn't it, how you see these so-called capitalists teaming with the communists to run this kind of stuff through.
	You were talking about how, in the early days of America, the literacy rate was so high.
	And of course, we know that because look at the impact that Thomas Paine's common sense had on people, right?
	Everybody was, it had a big impact because everybody read and they were able to comprehend what they read as well.
	And so it really was a system where people didn't spend 18 years to get a little bit of understanding and to be miseducated.
	I think today what we've seen is that this is all about social engineering.
	And, of course, you break that down in your book, just like you broke down the history of this, how it went from socialism to the people who embraced Marxism.
	I mean, Owen was out there even before Karl Marx was out there, wasn't he?
	Yeah. We're
	kicking this movement off. So I can't connect them definitively yet.
	I suspect there is a link there beyond just went to Prussia and then Horace Mann imported it back, but I can't prove it yet.
	By nature, secret societies are difficult to track, but it's so interesting how every one of the critical men in creating the system that today we call the public school rejected God, rejected the principles that America was based on, and had this utopian vision involving Really what Karl Marx called for.
	Eliminating private property, eliminating nations, eliminating family, and moving toward this alleged brotherhood of man.
	Yeah, yeah. They see themselves as God, and so they don't want any of that competition that's out there.
	They want to be, especially today, omnipresent and omniscient about everything that we're doing everywhere that we are.
	The Big Brother move. You know, we talk about the pressure and involvement.
	And we see that in things like kindergarten, right?
	This whole idea that we've got to get the kids very early, as you pointed out, going back to Plato, he was talking about that.
	You know, we want them to see the state as their family.
	And we don't even want them to know who their parents are.
	We will raise them from a very early age.
	Everybody understands that.
	Totalitarian dictators have understood that.
	Of course, the Bible warns us about that as well.
	You know, you get these kids when they're young and you train them, they're not going to depart from that.
	And the dictators know that as well.
	And so it's a real battle to try to get the kids at the earliest possible age, isn't it?
	It is. And Robert Owen, that was one of the things he pioneered even before setting up this ridiculous commune.
	He had this textile manufacturing operation on the British Isles that he had married into.
	Again, he married into a wealthy textile family.
	And one of the social experiments that he tried there was...
	Getting these young mothers to come work in the factory and promising to take care of their babies, right?
	So they were getting two, three-year-old kids in these social engineering centers.
	This is like really the pioneering effort to do this.
	And you said something else, David, that I really want to pick up on because it's so critical for people to understand is they see themselves as gods.
	So John Dewey wasn't just a communist in the traditional sense of the term.
	Now, in his defense, he did reject violent revolution.
	He believed that slowly brainwashing the population over a period of generations would be a better way to achieve total power.
	So, in his defense.
	But one of the things that he did, one of the things that he's best known for, other than his education blabbering, was something called the Humanist Manifesto.
	So John Dewey and 30-something of his buddies, members of the Unitarian clergy, academics, philosophers, and other leaders, came together and they wrote what they called the Humanist Manifesto.
	Today we call it the Humanist Manifesto 1 because their disciples have released new and improved versions.
	But right at the very beginning of this document, and this was their religion, and again, in their defense, they were open and transparent about the fact that this was their religion.
	Don't know where they found enough faith to believe some of these idiotic things, but it's a free country, you can believe whatever you want.
	So the very first tenet of their false religion...
	Religious humanists regard the universe as self-existing and not created.
	You can compare and contrast that with the Word of God, Genesis 1, in the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.
	You can contrast that with our Declaration of Independence, the self-evident truth that God created us, God endowed us with unalienable rights, God made us equal, etc.
	And so clearly they're telling you our religion is fundamentally at odds at a most basic level with the Bible, And with the principles that America was founded on, which largely came from the Bible, despite being called self-evident truth.
	So there we have something really critical.
	Now, as you read through the rest of this religion, it's kind of just warmed over Karl Marx.
	I think they said that we need equitable distribution of the means of life, which is another way of saying abolish private property and have the government control the means of production.
	So we've got to institute a radical change in methods and motives.
	We've got to get rid of the profit motive as the organizing principle for the economy.
	So it was communism. But there was a really, really critical undertone.
	It wasn't stated explicitly.
	If there is no real God, That just leaves us as gods.
	It will be you and I who determine what is right and wrong.
	You and I who determine what rights or privileges you may have.
	And I tell people, they thought they invented a new religion.
	They pretended like they were inventing a new religion.
	This is literally the oldest lie in the book.
	If you go back to Genesis chapter 3, you've got Satan saying that very same thing.
	Ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.
	So this really was a false religion from the pit of hell.
	And this was one of the reasons why John Dewey was so obsessed with the schools.
	One of the guys who co-signed this humanist manifesto, his name was C.F. Potter, he wrote a book called Humanism, A New Religion.
	And in this book, he brags, he says, we're going to use the public schools as the greatest ally of humanism.
	And he kind of laughs, like, what is your Sunday school, your theistic Sunday school, going to do teaching some of the children for one hour a week when we have them for five days of humanistic teachings?
	He didn't even answer. I think the answer was obvious.
	Absolutely nothing.
	So along comes the Supreme Court in 1962.
	They say you can't have prayer in the schools anymore.
	And, you know, by the way, this was a non-sectarian prayer.
	It was a Catholic priest, a Protestant minister, and a Jewish rabbi came together and wrote a prayer like, hey, God, please bless our school, bless our family, bless our parents, bless our country, bless our teachers.
	Amen. And so the Supreme Court said, no, First Amendment, you can't have that because apparently the state of New York is Congress.
	Wait, no, that's how dumbed down we were that people bought into this.
	1963 comes along.
	They ban the Bible. In school, again, they cite the First Amendment.
	And the guy who wrote the dissent in this case, Justice Potter Stewart, I encourage people to read this dissent.
	It is beautiful.
	It's wonderful. It should be required reading for everybody interested in education and everybody interested in constitutional law.
	He says, what we have done here is not neutrality with respect to religion.
	What we've done here, he says, is establish the religion of secularism, or what John did, what he called humanism.
	Under the guise of preventing Congress from establishing a religion, the Supreme Court established a false religion, forced us to pay for its propagation with our taxes, and forced our children to be brainwashed with this false religion.
	So we're full circle. You're right.
	right they think they're gods you know I we used to go frequently we lived in North Carolina we used to go to Colonial Williamsburg and they had a very good guy there who did a good job of impersonating Thomas Jefferson and he would take questions and of course I knew he wasn't going to respond anything that was contemporary anything is going to be political you know but I would throw it out there to kind of speak to the audience And every time I was there, I would always ask him a question.
	You said that you stood up very much for freedom, free exercise of religion and not having an official state religion.
	You said it was an abomination for people to have to be forced to attend a church.
	And it was also an abomination for people to be forced to pay for something that they disagreed with.
	But then you also set up the state university there.
	Would you admit that perhaps a government education system is no different from an enforced government education system, which is what you just pointed out.
	It is. So that's why I was trying to get people to understand.
	You understand that we're right back to having an established religion.
	It's just that the seminaries are the colleges, and the places where they indoctrinate everybody on a daily basis are these government schools, and you're forced to pay for it.
	We're at the point right now where they were at some of these...
	Some of these early colonies, over a period of time, they transitioned away from it.
	At first, everybody had to attend the official state church and pay money to it.
	Then they said, well, you don't have to attend, but you still got to pay for it.
	That's where we are right now with homeschooling.
	You don't have to attend this state religion they call government schools, but we still got to pay for it, don't we?
	That's exactly right.
	And, you know, the Bible actually teaches this.
	Early Americans would have recognized, I think, pretty quickly what's happening here.
	Jesus is quoted twice in the Gospels.
	In Matthew and in Luke, he says, whoever's not with me is against me.
	And so I encourage people to think about this for a minute.
	Are the government schools with Christ?
	Well, and if the answer is no, and it obviously is no, no Christian or anti-Christian would even deny that at this point, then that leaves one option.
	They are anti-Christian.
	And to your point, you know, the Bible teaches, Proverbs 22, 6, Train up a child in the way he should go, but he's old, he will not depart from it.
	In Luke, Jesus is quoted as saying that students are not greater than their teachers.
	When they're fully trained, they're going to be like their teachers.
	And so we have a system here that was designed to instill a worldview, And your children was designed to handicap them, literally.
	We can get into that. There's a reason why half of American adults are functionally illiterate.
	And when you put all that together, you realize this is a profoundly religious exercise.
	It may not be a religion that an average person would recognize, but it is religious.
	And in fact, I think education is inseparable from discipleship.
	The question is, who is doing the discipling?
	Is it parents? Is it pastors from an official religion?
	Or is it a school that doesn't tell you it's a religion but is still instilling very religious concepts?
	All of the fundamental presuppositions that underpin the worldview taught in the public schools today are profoundly religious, and it takes an enormous amount of faith to agree with them.
	The idea, for example, that everything came from nothing.
	I mean, that contradicts everything we know about physics.
	It contradicts the most basic tenets of common sense.
	And yet, that is the underlying philosophy that underpins virtually everything that is being instilled in these children as far as the worldview goes.
	How can it be that we can accept this tenet of faith being taught to children, but not stop and say, wait a minute, this is a profoundly religious thing.
	So we need to understand that.
	This is not a secular school system.
	This is a religious school system masquerading as a neutral school system.
	That's very true. Do you talk about R.L. Dabney in your book?
	Because I remember he was a chaplain It's actually Stonewall Jackson's chaplain.
	And after the war, he blamed the Civil War.
	He said he thought it had its roots in the government school system you're talking about in Massachusetts, where it was first established.
	But he wrote essays saying, and very, very prescient about where we were going to be, and not even a century, well, about a century later, that's when the Supreme Court started doing that.
	But he said, there's absolutely no way that you can have government involvement in education without violating The free exercise of religion, without establishing a religion.
	He goes, it's only a question of which religion is going to be established.
	You can't have neutrality and have the government funding it.
	You can't have the government involved in any way in education, or it is going to be establishing a politicized religion.
	And he was talking about that in the 1860s.
	Yeah. So I don't mention him in the book, but he was absolutely correct.
	And one of the things that's interesting is that actually the southern states were the last holdouts when it came to government schools.
	They resisted until the bitter end.
	It wasn't until Reconstruction that the northerners forced these institutions on the south.
	But, you know, to your point, I just had a piece published in Newsweek just about a week or two ago, and I quoted two modern scholars.
	And, you know, people can think whatever they want about these two guys.
	One is former U.S. Attorney General Bill Barr.
	My obvious concerns with his background and all the rest of it.
	But what he said in a 2021 speech, he said this militant and extreme secular progressive climate of our state-run education system is the greatest threat to religious liberty in America today.
	And, of course, he is correct.
	I also quoted a Columbia Law professor, Philip Hamburger, arguing that public schools, by definition, violate the First Amendment rights of parents.
	And that's because they force parents, or at least very strongly pressure them, into substituting their own speech, right?
	What parents would tell their own children for what the state wants to tell their children.
	And so this is an infringement on our religious liberty.
	This is an infringement on our freedom of speech.
	It's an infringement on our parental rights.
	It's an infringement on our property rights, that they're extorting us for thousands of dollars every year on our property to be able to pay for these brainwash camps to hurt our children.
	So this is a fundamental violation of every tenant of a truly free society.
	And yet, today, we're supposed to think of it as American as apple pie.
	It's not. It's wicked.
	Frankly, when people ask me how to reform it, I say, why would you want to reform it?
	It's like asking me how I want to reform my cancer.
	I'll pass, thank you. I want to get rid of the cancer.
	And it's not because I'm anti-education.
	It's because I'm That's right.
	That's right. But they have inextricably linked education in schools in people's minds.
	And they're two different things.
	We're talking about an institution versus, you know, something that you actually have.
	The education is something you have, but you don't need to have the school system.
	As you're pointing out, we see the way this evolves.
	You pointed out in your book. Let's talk a little bit about the Frankfurt School.
	And its effect on education.
	Mostly, we talk about the Frankfurt School and its effect on Hollywood and entertainment and media and stuff.
	But talk about its effect on education.
	Yeah, so the Frankfurt School, once again, we intersect with John Dewey, right?
	So he had set up this experimental school at the University of Chicago, funded by the Rockefellers.
	They gave him $3.1 million through the General Education Board, one of their early philanthropic efforts, if you want to call it.
	Frederick Gates, the guy they put in charge of it, was a total megalomaniac.
	He bragged about how, you know, in a perfect world, these people will yield themselves with perfect docility to our benevolent, molding hand.
	All this gobbledygook.
	So eventually, once they come up with this formula that they really like, so John Dewey's experimental school graduated a bunch of kids who couldn't read, couldn't write, couldn't do math, couldn't tell right from wrong, and so they loved this idea.
	So John Dewey then goes over to Columbia University, and at Columbia University, Starts bringing in a bunch of these progressives.
	Now, the Frankfurt School is happening over in Frankfurt.
	So the Frankfurt School, the Institute for Social Research at the University of Frankfurt-Gütti, they had actually been a project of the Comintern, the Cominist Internationale.
	This is in Germany for people.
	Yes, right, in Frankfurt, Germany.
	And so they actually, this idea was hatched by the Comintern.
	They came to the same conclusion as Gramsci, although they would never admit it publicly.
	But Marx was wrong. Marx was wrong.
	He thought it was inevitable that the working class was going to rise up in a revolution.
	And then they finally, after 60 years of realizing that wasn't going to happen, said, okay, fine.
	That's not going to happen. We've got to do something different.
	And so Gramsci and the Comintern through the Frankfurt School concluded, hey, we've got to break down these cultural barriers to revolution.
	We've got to attack the family.
	We've got to attack the church.
	We've got to attack the values.
	We've got to attack patriotism.
	So they went after the institutions, the values, the attitudes that they understood were blocking revolution.
	And so that really was where the Frankfurt School came in.
	Now, I want to be clear, because sometimes people say, well, if you don't like the Frankfurt School, you must be pro-Nazi.
	No, no. The Nazis and the communists were very, very close cousins.
	In fact, the New York Times reported before the outbreak of World War II that the Nazis, the Hitlerites, actually regarded Vladimir Lenin as the second greatest man in the world, second only to Adolf Hitler.
	Hitler. So really, very, very close beliefs.
	I mean, they had some differences on racial issues and stuff, but they were all in favor of the state uber alis.
	They were all in favor of genocide against...
	Marx actually advocated genocide against the groups that hadn't reached the capitalist stage because he just thought they were too backwards to do anything with.
	So they had a lot in common.
	But eventually, the Frankfurt School, the socialists, the communists there had a falling out with the national socialists, and so they had to flee Germany.
	And John Dewey, with Rockefeller money, brought them to Columbia University.
	And then from there, they spread out across our country like a cancer, University of California, etc.
	And they started promoting these incredibly subversive doctrines under the guise of academia.
	They all got set up in universities.
	A lot of them actually went into the education field to educate educators.
	And they came up with these very subversive ideas, like, for example, the idea of the authoritarian male.
	So dads and husbands in America were basically fascists, right?
	They were lording it over their wives and children.
	And, of course, they understood dads and husbands were critical to protecting their families from We're good to go.
	They spread the idea of perversion and filth being in every element of our culture.
	So they spread all these evil doctrines.
	And again, education was one of the primary fields they went into.
	So this was a critical component of hijacking the then-existing government school system, weaponizing it further again with money from the big foundations, and turning it into the most effective tool for revolution really, I think, ever conceived in human history.
	It's interesting to see, as you lay this out, I think about what we've got in terms of these institutions.
	I think about the building of a building and how long it takes to lay the foundation.
	And then all of a sudden, after the foundation is there, boom, the stick walls go up.
	When you've got the framing going up, it goes up very, very quickly.
	And that's really what we see.
	We see this foundation being laid over a very long period of time.
	And then you have the stages where it goes through and spurts.
	And a lot of stuff happens all at once.
	And we're in, I think, the final stage of this stuff now as we see everything changing incredibly rapidly.
	I guess maybe we're in the stage where they're decorating and painting things with a drag queen.
	We tortured this analogy here to that point, but people are looking at this stuff now.
	We got a good shot at this during the lockdown.
	People were able to see on Zoom what was actually happening in their kids' class.
	But it's just amazing how rapidly this has changed.
	But I've seen all of this stuff throughout my lifetime.
	I began school before you had the Supreme Court decisions saying that you've got to purge God out of the schools.
	And it was even the government schools.
	And it took a while for them to implement that.
	So I was in that system for a few years and gradually saw this kind of stuff change.
	And I had like a front row seat of this dumbing down and degeneracy that is going on in the school system all of my life.
	And it truly is amazing to see that.
	And I think that's the real importance, I think, of your book.
	It is for people to get that sense of history, to see how this was done iteratively, to see how these foundations were laid over a very long period of time.
	Talk a little bit about, of course, something that's a little bit more recent, but still several decades back, and that's Common Core.
	And, of course, we had the Republicans heavily involved in that as well.
	We did. And Common Core, I think, is misunderstood by even most of the people who follow closely education.
	Yes, it dumbed down the population.
	We know that. It's objectively provable.
	The federal government actually hired a group, CSAIL, to do a study on this, and seven years into it, they said, whoa, the negative effects of this are just wild.
	We don't even know where the bottom is because we haven't hit it yet.
	We're still going down... So terrible from an academic perspective.
	In fact, they put two subject matter experts and only two subject matter experts on the Common Core Validation Committee.
	This was the hand-picked committee that was supposed to rubber stamp these things and say they were great.
	Both of them refused to sign off.
	The math expert, Dr.
	James Milgram of Stanford, said...
	Some of this is based on incorrect math.
	Like, no, I'm not signing off on this garbage.
	The image expert, Dr.
	Sandra Stoschka, I know her.
	I serve on a board with her. Very nice lady.
	She said, look, this is going to reduce the critical thinking abilities in children.
	You're taking out good literature and you're replacing it with, like, Obama's executive orders and EPA regulations on roof insulation.
	No, I'm not signing off on this.
	So both the subject matter experts said no.
	The federal government knows it's making your kids dumber.
	And a lot of people look at it as the nationalization of education.
	And yes, it was.
	That was a process that started decades earlier.
	In fact, the George H.W., New World Order Administration, We're good to go.
	And that's what people don't realize.
	So Bill Gates of Hell went over to UNESCO headquarters in 2004, and he signed an agreement with UNESCO. UNESCO, for those who aren't familiar, is the UN's education agency.
	It's the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization.
	And so Bill Gates signed this deal with them.
	Back in 2004, I've got a copy of the deal.
	He signed on behalf of Microsoft.
	They vowed that they were going to work closely together on creating global education standards, global curricula, global teacher training programs, and global technology systems to make sure it was all being implemented properly.
	Well, he comes back to the United States and starts dumping millions of dollars.
	And by the time it's all said and done...
	$2.3 billion into this project called Common Core.
	Most of the funding, of course, came from taxpayers, but Bill Gates provided the genesis there, just starting the ball rolling.
	They actually bought ads.
	I've got some of these ads.
	I play them when I go out and do talks on this, where they're bragging that Common Core standards are actually going to align American education with International standards.
	They're saying this proudly.
	They bought ads to tell this to the American people.
	And so let's go back a little bit more in time.
	Prior to 2004, the UN had concocted what they call the World Core Curriculum.
	And the guy who wrote it, Robert Mueller, he was the Assistant Secretary General of the UN, one step below the actual Secretary General.
	He says this needs to be taught to every child in every school on planet Earth.
	I've got a lot of these documents.
	I've got a lot of these materials in my office.
	And in the foreword to the teacher's manual, he says something astounding, David.
	And I think this is really the most critical thing to understand about what's happening on the educational front today.
	In the foreword, he says, this is based on the teachings of Alice Bailey and the Tibetan teacher, Javal Kul.
	And it's very easy to read right over that.
	Well, Alice Bailey, I've got her books here, right?
	Here's her book, Education in the New Age.
	She was the founder of the Lucifer Publishing Company.
	Literally, that was the name of the organization.
	It's still around today.
	It's called the Lucius Trust.
	And the Tibetan teacher was actually a spiritual entity that Alice Bailey claimed to be communicating with.
	She called it an ascended master.
	And so channeling these demons, she wrote books like Education in the New Age.
	And people can read this.
	It's absolutely bonkers.
	I mean, you almost can't believe it until you read it yourself.
	We need a one world government.
	We need a one world brain.
	The government school system is gonna unite humanity into this global society where we're gonna evolve to a new age of consciousness and the only problem that she says is these people who insist on this great heresy of separateness, which are also known as Bible believing Christians who are told to be holy and did not participate in these wicked things of the world.
	So Christians are the obstacle to this one world utopia on whom the global world core curriculum is based.
	So that's what's happening here, folks.
	The schools are preparing your children for submission to an all powerful one world dictatorship based on the rantings of crazy woman and her demons.
	Her ascended masters. And, of course, we keep saying this stuff about Ascended Masters, keep reweaving itself everywhere.
	You know, even when we break off, we've got a conservative group.
	We've got, like, Michael Flynn leading prayers to an Ascended Master that he verbatim from Elizabeth Clare Prophet, you know, the reawakened stuff.
	So you constantly have this occultic Ascended Master stuff weaving itself back in, even in...
	You know, nominally, you know, they call themselves conservatives.
	Even in those circles, it's always there.
	It always finds a way back in.
	It truly is amazing. David, can I stop you there for just one moment?
	Because I want to pick up on this Ascended Master theme, especially since you seem to be interested in it.
	So even before... The World Core Curriculum.
	Actually, George H.W. Bush had hired a lady.
	This is the New World Order guy, right, who said we're going to have a credible United Nations.
	We're going to use a peacekeeping role to implement a vision of the U.N.'s founders.
	So he hires a lady for the U.S. Department of Education named Dr.
	Shirley Macoon. Surprise!
	She's also talking to Ascended Masters.
	True story. She wrote a book with one of her buddies called The Light Shall Set You Free.
	Same general idea, right?
	The Ascended Masters told me we've got to evolve into this new higher consciousness state.
	So she's the lady that they put at the Department of Education to start leading the charge for the national testing, the national accountability, ultimately the national standards.
	And she gives a speech to the 50 governors.
	George H.W. Bush convened all 50 governors.
	And she gives a speech.
	I've got a copy of this speech.
	I've got the video. And she says to them, look, the schools, you know, the real purpose of schools is, she said, transforming society.
	She says we're fundamentally restructuring society, and we have to understand that the social change function of schools is what's going to get us there.
	And now, fast forward to more recent times.
	You've probably heard of social-emotional learning.
	In fact, I have a chapter on this in the book.
	SEL. SEL, right.
	And the NEA, the National Education Association, says, now, this is the most important function of schools.
	And it's in all the schools, even in some Christian schools, by the way.
	And so I started investigating this years ago, before people had done any real critical research on this, and they still had all the documents publicly available.
	So I went to CASEL. This is an organization funded by Bill Gates.
	It's the premier SEL organization.
	It's called the Collaborative for Academic Social-Emotional Learning.
	And right there, they had a history tab on their website.
	So I click on the history tab, and right there, in plain English, it says, the idea for SEL came out of conversations that we had at the Fetzer Institute.
	Huh. What is the Fetzer Institute?
	I had never heard of the Fetzer Institute, so I look it up real quick.
	Turns out it's a new age occult, bizarre place founded by some crazy rich guy, a disciple of Alice Bailey!
	And they're doing these invocations to the ascended masters and all that.
	So this theme of the occult, this theme of the ascended masters bringing us into the new age runs through this entire program, and yet your average Christian has no idea.
	80% of Christians in this country are still sending their children to these pagan, godless, diabolical indoctrination centers.
	And you just want to shake them.
	Like, wake up, you fool!
	What's happening to your children?
	Don't you care? Yeah, absolutely.
	And you talk about the fact that even private schools are going to have SEL there.
	And a big part of this is one of the things that concerns me about charter schools, about private schools.
	Whenever you take the government's money, then they're going to start telling you what you've got to do, even if it means putting boys in the girls' showers and that type of stuff, which takes us back to the Department of Education.
	And I believe, what do you think about the Department?
	I think its primary function was there to bribe and to blackmail people to get these things through, because that is such a powerful superpower that the federal government has where it can just create money out of thin air, and then they can channel it through the Department of Education, and they can use that to take over charter schools or private schools or anybody who takes the government coin.
	We even see it, especially in colleges.
	I mean, look at how they've been able to control colleges through the power of the purse and the money, and that's the way the federal government operates most of the time.
	Would you agree?
	Absolutely, and that's why they set up the Department of Education.
	I quote William Zoster in the book.
	He was a former leader of the Communist Party here in the United States.
	He wrote a book called Toward a Soviet America.
	This was 100 years ago.
	He says, one of our key objectives is to establish a national department of education that's going to be used to cleanse all the schools of education.
	Everything that might be considered religious or patriotic or bourgeois, we're going to turn them into institutions of revolution.
	And actually, that goes back to, we started off the conversation with Robert Owen, the whistleblower I mentioned, Oris Brownson, when he's exposing this whole agenda, why they're doing this, he says the great object is to get rid of Christianity.
	And what he says is, our goal was to get a system of state and then national education so that we could then bring religion into contempt.
	So that was the goal from the very beginning.
	The totalitarians, the anti-god fanatics wanted a national system where they could then much more simply control all education in this country.
	And now this is actually being bumped up to the global level.
	Arne Duncan, who spent seven years as Secretary of Miseducation under Barack Obama, this guy was bragging about how UNESCO is the partner of the U.S. Department of Education with implementing global education initiatives.
	He actually quoted a communist terrorist.
	that education is a weapon that we're going to use to change the world.
	So they're telling you all this.
	I mean, you don't have to listen to David Knight and Alex Newman.
	These people will tell you what they're doing.
	If you'll just listen, you won't see it on Fox news.
	You won't see it on CNN or on the front page of your local propaganda organ owned by the USA today or whatever, but these people are telling you what they're doing, if you'll just listen.
	And of course, it's not something that the politicians are going to talk about either.
	You know, at least in 1980, it was created in a campaign year by Carter, and Reagan said he's going to get rid of it, but of course he didn't.
	And he had people like Charlotte Isabe and Phyllis Schlafly who went there to help shut that thing down, and they left in disgust.
	Charlotte Isabe said it's the deliberate dumbing down of America, and it truly is.
	That's what it's about, but it's gotten beyond that now.
	It's not just dumbing us down.
	It's pushing us down into degeneracy.
	You know, we look at, and you've got chapters, of course, on, um, critical race theory, but also, uh, one of the chapters, totalitarian agenda behind the LGBT sex ed, I've looked at this for a long, the transgender stuff is obviously sexual component to it, a grooming that is there, but as we start to see this other stuff and the, the, the furries and the, this complete detachment from reality starts me to, to believe that they're moving us into
	that other branch of secularism, transhumanism, preparing kids to live in this, to be completely incapable of operating in the real world, not wanting to be in the real world, but also to push them into a virtual reality.
	which they're already doing in the schools. I can't believe that in the schools they let the kids dress this way, have you know, things, paws that have claws on them that they can scratch people with. I mean that is the absolute breakdown of any kind of discipline.
	But you have to ask yourself, what is their agenda? And as you can see in your book, it is a very clear agenda.
	It is a very clear goal of all this stuff.
	It's all converging on this and marching progressively forward.
	Talk a little bit about that, but I do want to spend some time in terms of talking about the positive vision.
	It's very important for people to understand how the school is really on fire.
	A lot of people don't realize it's on fire.
	They don't realize that it was a deliberately set fire day.
	And they don't see the implications of it for society, for the neighborhood in general.
	And that's what your book really does lay out.
	But I want to talk a little bit about positive vision.
	But talk a little bit about what is going on with this LGBT thing.
	I mean, it's a sexual component, but I think it's also got something to do with this transhumanism and high-tech and virtual reality, even though we're talking about costume characters at this point.
	You are absolutely right, David.
	There's no question about it.
	There's actually multiple agendas, but let's talk on the two that you just hit on, and they're both discussed extensively in the book.
	The first is the LGBT thing.
	One of the major reasons they're pushing this is actually to take down the family unit.
	And if you go back and you look at the history of sex education, Wilhelm Reich, a hundred years ago, described himself as a Freudian Marxist, a member of the Communist Party, and he said, we've got to get the sex ed in the schools so that we can turn children away from their families, so we can undermine their credibility.
	We can undermine the influence of the church and basically grab hold of the minds and hearts of these children and write on a blank slate.
	That was why they did it.
	You look at Georgi Lukacs, the deputy commissar of education and culture in the Belakun communist regime in Hungary, short-lived communist dictatorship.
	He ended up going to become part of the Frankfurt School, incidentally.
	He was doing these nasty, raunchy puppet shows in front of kindergarten kids for the purpose of breaking down the Christian moral order.
	And he said so. So you look now at the modern iteration of this.
	First they told us, oh, just loving homosexuals just want to be married, just quit being such a prude.
	And people say, well, don't kids need a mom and a dad?
	Well, you know, it's better to have two dads than no dads, right?
	Or it's better to have two moms than no moms, right?
	So they first started off by saying, well, it's really not that important to have both a mom and a dad, which, of course, anybody with two brain cells to rub together knows is ridiculous, right?
	Yes, you can survive. You might become a great human being even without one of those.
	But the optimal condition, the divine order that God has established is for a child to be raised by a mother and a father, a loving marriage relationship.
	Well, they figured, hey, if we can get the mom or the dad out of the picture by marketing this homosexual marriage and homosexual adoption, that's a good first step.
	Now you come to the next step, the transgenderism.
	Well, now they're saying there's no such thing as a mom or dad.
	Gender is a social construct.
	I'm a non-binary, you're a non-binary, I'm a free spirit, whatever.
	So now they're saying not only is a mom or a dad not essential, now they're saying there's no such thing as a mom or dad.
	So you can see this is a catapult. We're good to go.
	You might be a boy born in a girl's body.
	Well, why in the world shouldn't you be able to transcend your humanity altogether?
	Why shouldn't you be a cat? Why shouldn't you be an elephant?
	And so this converges with the technology in a very, very evil and dark way, David.
	I've got a section in the book on the first conference on AI and education hosted by the UN in Beijing of all places.
	And they openly said in their final declaration, we're gonna fuse artificial intelligence with education.
	We're gonna connect these kids to the system.
	And we are going to use this to manipulate and ultimately change their attitudes, values, beliefs, and behaviors.
	This is what they said in the final document.
	So that's where they're moving in China now.
	And a lot of schools are using these headbands that monitor the children's brainwaves and feed this information into a computer so that it can be processed by the algorithms and the AI to determine whether the child's paying attention, et cetera.
	Now, with Neuralink, folks, you don't have to be a conspiracy theorist to project the lines here and see where this is going.
	It is dark. It is wicked.
	Bill Gates actually predicted just last year, I believe, that soon we'd be able to replace teachers with AI. That's what's happening.
	Teachers are going to become glorified babysitters.
	The kids are going to sit there on their tablets and eventually with those stupid goggles on their face, learning all about how great open borders are, abortions, etc.
	There's no education going on here anymore, and the sooner parents realize that, the better.
	Oh, yeah. I want to replace Bill Gates.
	That's what I want to replace. We could get a nice AI who's not quite as wicked.
	Anything would not be quite as wicked as him.
	He's out there pushing against math now.
	I mean, he really is going the full 2 plus 2 equals 5 stuff.
	But yeah, it truly is a war on parents, especially as you pointed out.
	Just think about the fact that you must use these pronouns, but you must not say mother and father, right?
	Or mom and dad or whatever.
	It is that kind of mind control that we see out there.
	And it really does go back, again, To the UN and to the Children's Rights Movement that was their UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, if they can say that children have rights, then that's their legal way of shoving parents out.
	And so even though we didn't sign on to that treaty ever, the only country that didn't, they are still enforcing this through the courts, enforcing it through the schools and all the rest of that.
	But let's talk a little bit about homeschooling, because it is an amazing opportunity.
	You know, God has left us this open door for us to have a family, for us to have a relationship with children, for us to actually be able to educate our kids about the things of this world as well as about God.
	And that is a very, very important window that is there, and it's never been more open since after the lockdown, people are open to it, they're looking at it, and they're There's so many more resources than when we homeschooled our kids.
	It truly is blossoming there, and there's an opportunity for anybody who wants to do it.
	Talk a little bit about that. Yeah, I do regard homeschooling as the gold standard.
	If anybody is capable of doing it, and I believe almost everybody is capable of doing it, I cannot recommend it highly enough.
	It's one of the best decisions you will make in your entire life.
	Also one of the most important decisions you will make in your life.
	So I go back to, you know, the Bible.
	In Deuteronomy chapter 6, Deuteronomy chapter 11, you have God explaining to his people how they ought to be educating their children.
	He says, you know, you need to be teaching them about God and God's laws and God's ways and what he has done for us.
	When you wake up in the morning, when you're walking by the way, when you're sitting down to eat, when you're laying down to go to bed at night, at all times you should be educating your children.
	And I think the most fundamental part to understand, and I do believe we have freedom, we can delegate some of that responsibility and authority to others, whether it be a homeschool co-op, a Christian school that is thoroughly vetted and well examined.
	But with that said, I do believe homeschooling is the gold standard.
	I believe it's the best possible thing that you can do.
	Always doing it with community, right?
	Getting together with other families, getting together through your church and having fun with it.
	But I think ultimately we need to get back to a real understanding of what education is.
	And this is one of the things that this system has caused us to lose.
	What is the purpose of education is a fundamental question that people don't even ask themselves anymore.
	What do I mean when I say I want my child to be educated?
	Now, if you ask Google, which tells you men can get pregnant, Google will say the purpose of education, true story, they say the purpose of education is to make your children successful members of society.
	I asked a couple AIs, they said the same thing.
	They cited the Washington Compost as a source.
	So the purpose of education then is either college and career readiness or making your child successful, whatever.
	Is that really the purpose of education?
	And I would argue, absolutely not.
	That's not even, you know, third or fourth down the line.
	What does it mean in a Nazi society or a communist society to be a successful member?
	Does that mean you're good at snitching on your neighbors?
	Does that mean you're good at guarding the concentration camp and torturing political prisoners?
	It's absolutely crazy.
	I say we need to go back to the Word of God.
	To understand truly what an education is.
	And God gives us, again, a lot of freedom here.
	He doesn't say you need 25 credit hours of science and 32 of math.
	But He does give us the foundations.
	Proverbs 1-7, Proverbs 9-10 says, The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.
	It's the beginning of knowledge.
	So if the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom and the fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge and there is Absolutely, no fear of the Lord being instilled in our children in virtually any Educational setting with a handful of exceptions in this country how much wisdom and knowledge are they getting with answers none?
	I mean absolutely none at best its counterfeit. So we've got to go back and ask ourselves the fundamental questions I actually end the book with a very very long afterward I maybe would have been better to divide up as several chapters But looking at you know, what did education look like before the government took it over? What does the Bible say about education?
	What are some resources out there for parents who are thinking about these questions?
	And I believe this is one of the most important things we could be thinking about and talking about David Oh, absolutely And just as you said earlier when you're talking about a family you said a two parent that that would be ideal And that's the goal But hey, you know, we still need to be a parent even if there's just one of us.
	And when you look at homeschooling, you can say, well...
	I would like to do classical homeschooling.
	Oh, that'd be great, but that's really a lot.
	I don't know if I could do that. Well, you don't necessarily have to do that.
	You know, you can aim for certain things.
	If you don't have two parents in your family, there are other ways that you can do that, especially now there are so many more resources, so many more people who are looking to partner in community to help to do this.
	And so there's a lot of resources that are out there.
	And sometimes we look at this and say, well, I can't do the ideal, so I won't even get started.
	But what I have found is that if you do this with the purpose of honoring God, God has always promised us that He will honor those who honor Him.
	And it's an amazing blessing.
	Everybody that I know, and I know a lot of people now since I'm older who have homeschooled their kids, and everybody that did it, they are so blessed by the relationship that they have with their kids and have no regrets whatsoever about it.
	It's one of the best things you can do with your life, and when you're looking at society, You know, this whole thing about the hand that rocks the cradle rules the world.
	Well, these people who want to rule the world have been rocking the cradle, and we need to get their hands off of our cradles because they've rocked our world, and they've rocked it in a very negative way, and we need to take back control of the cradle, and we need to take back control of our kids.
	And I think that whatever you can do is a move in the right direction.
	We did a very informal homeschooling curriculum with our kids.
	But, you know, we were there with them and we talked to them in the way, as we're in the way, so to speak.
	And so it was kind of a peripatetic form of instruction.
	But there's so many different ways that you can do it.
	And it is an amazing blessing to have that relationship with your kids.
	One of the best relationships you could ever have in life.
	And the best way to have that relationship, I think, is to work with your kids.
	I'm so glad that you did this book.
	And again, you understand that.
	You know, she said you've got a very long afterward toward a Christian vision of education.
	And what did we have?
	And what could we have again?
	That's up to each and every one of us.
	You know, we don't have to get the permission of Trump or Biden to educate our kids.
	Ever. You know, even if they try to impose that on us, we can still do it ourselves.
	And so that should be our attitude, that we're not going to do that.
	Right now, we have this amazing opportunity.
	I said to my wife 30 years ago when we started this whole process, I said, you know, isn't it interesting how we've lost freedom in every aspect of our society except when it comes to education?
	And somehow God has left that door open, hasn't he?
	Absolutely. And it's such a joy.
	You know, I would warn people that the totalitarians are coming for us.
	So we've got to stand firm.
	This is a non-negotiable issue.
	You will not have my children.
	And that's a line that will not be crossed.
	And every parent needs to make that determination.
	We will not let someone go across that line.
	But they're coming at us from all angles.
	They want to criminalize homeschooling.
	They want to start giving us government money so they can suck us back into the system we just fled from.
	So folks, watch out.
	Right now is a great time to homeschool.
	Pull your children out of the burning building right now.
	Cut your ties with the government.
	Obviously, I recommend that people follow state laws as best they can on these issues.
	You don't want to get in unnecessary trouble.
	But if it comes down to it and they say hand your children over, the answer's got to be no.
	If I've got to go to another country, if I've got to go underground, it's not happening.
	They're not having my children.
	Period. End of discussion.
	Yeah, we've got homeschoolers here not too far from where we live in Tennessee who were political refugees out of Germany because they wouldn't let them homeschool.
	They would take their kids away from them.
	And they've been here for over a decade.
	And now the Biden administration tried to deport them a couple of months ago.
	Then they gave up after there was a lot of publicity about it.
	but that's the heart of our current federal government.
	They are in alignment with these Germans who want to take the kids away from people.
	That's really where we are.
	So we're not that far away from it.
	It's important for people to understand the foundation of this.
	And again, you can find the book at your website, right?
	LibertySentinel.org.
	And tell us again the title of the book.
	I've got it here, but it's a couple pages over.
	Go ahead. So it's Indoctrinating Our Children to Death, Government Schools War on Faith, Family, and Freedom, and How to Stop It.
	You can get it anywhere good books are sold.
	If you want a signed copy and you don't mind waiting a couple weeks and paying shipping, you can get it from my website, libertysentinel.org forward slash shop.
	Good. And do that instead of giving the money to Amazon.
	Thank you so much, Alex. And let me say thank you to the people here.
	Wayne Wonder, thank you very much for the birthday gift and tip.
	And also, Owen, thank you very much.
	Appreciate that. Thank you all.
	Have a good day, everybody. Let me tell you, The David Knight Show, you can listen to with your ears.
	You can even watch it by using your eyes.
	In fact, if you can hear me, that means you're listening to The David Knight Show right now.
	Yeah, good job.
	Ha ha ha! And you want to know something else?
