	using free speech to free minds You're listening to The David Night Show.
	As the clock strikes 13, it's Tuesday the 7th of May, Year of Our Lord 2024.
	Well, today we're going to begin with the psych war.
	The people who are running the psych war in the military, they call themselves the special operations, are going to show you their recruitment film.
	You need to understand that people who operate in the dark, people who operate in this way, We're not operating on our side.
	And I think it's very clear that we need to have things that are out in the open as we have things that are concealed and hidden.
	That's how we get the kind of corrupt, murdering government that we actually have.
	So we're going to begin with that.
	We'll take a look at an interesting attempted murder of another pastor as he was speaking.
	And what happened? And we also have a very prominent feminist atheist who has now become a Christian.
	She had a debate with Richard Dawkins.
	Very interesting back and forth.
	We'll be right back. Well, as I said, we're going to begin with the dark side of our government.
	The pentagram, no, the pentagon.
	Now, the people who also work for it.
	People like Palantir's CEO, Alex Karp, who has been a regular at Bilderberg.
	for quite some time now, attending every single one of them.
	You need to understand what Palantir is.
	I've talked about it many times.
	I've done videos about Palantir.
	They openly embrace as their corporate symbol the Palantir from Lord of the Rings, and they have a lot of Lord of the Rings references in it, and if you understand what that was, it was a means of communication for the kings to talk to each other, but then it was taken over by the dark side, by Sauron, to monitor them, which is what he does with his company.
	And not only that, but to essentially psychoanalyze them, to look inside of them, That's what happens in the novel, and that's what happens with Palantir as well.
	Alex Karp just recently had attended a meeting where they were talking about what was happening in the schools and the campuses.
	And he said that he didn't like the Columbia anti-Israel protests.
	He said that he has dreamed of drone striking his enemies as well.
	And this is the guy who does the drone strikes.
	For the Pentagon, the military industrial complex, the intelligence community, they depend on him for his anticipatory intelligence, but mainly for his geospatial intelligence, putting these relationships together.
	That's what he got his degree in.
	He actually went to Germany, got his degree in Germany.
	He was born in America, born in New York.
	Son of a Jewish physician in New York City.
	Always had a great deal of money.
	He goes to Germany to study.
	Big fan of Freud.
	Bilderberg regular. Hillary Clinton supporter.
	Openly supported Hillary, which I guess explains the drone stuff, right?
	Can't we just drone Julian Assange, she said.
	When she talked about Libya, she said, we came, we saw, he died.
	She was a murdering criminal.
	I mean, that's, going back to 2016 election, that's what Julian Assange said.
	We know she's a warmongering, murdering criminal.
	We don't know what Trump is.
	We'll give him a chance, and now we know as well.
	But he also identifies as a socialist.
	Fully on board with all this stuff.
	Again, a Freud fanatic.
	He went to the University of Frankfurt.
	But he was the co-founder and CEO, Alex Skarpis, of Palantir, a very high-profile company in Washington, D.C. As a matter of fact, about a decade ago, you went through the Washington, D.C. area and the subways.
	You would see stuff there all the time, posters and stuff about Palantir.
	When they went public, We're good to go.
	To do coups. That's what they're involved in.
	But they're also involved in analyzing us.
	He's selling his services to everyone.
	And folks, we all know that they made it very clear, Mike Johnson did, that he was meeting with people who were telling him how urgent it was to have wars, how urgent it was to surveil Americans.
	That's what the extensions on the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act is really designed to do.
	It was designed to stop the CIA and the NSA from spying on Americans, but they have completely turned it around to facilitate that, to give them legal cover.
	And of course, if they don't have the legal cover, they can always work with their partners in other countries.
	Say, well, you know, we can't spy on them, but you can, and you can voluntarily give us that information.
	Then we won't be violating the law, will we?
	They always have a way to get around the full intent of the law.
	So... He was at an elite dinner.
	Other speakers at the event included the co-founder of AI startup Anthropic, House Speaker Mike Johnson.
	See? This is who he hangs out with.
	What a traitor this man is to us.
	He's deep, deep, deeply embedded in the CIA now and these people.
	And several other members of Congress.
	I guess they got their ticket punched.
	When they voted for all the wars, and they voted for extending FISA, both in time and extent.
	In a conversation about AI's impact on warfare in Ukraine and Israel, Jacob Helberg, the senior policy advisor to Alex Karp, CEO of Palantir, mentioned pro-Hamas slogans chanted at very prestigious universities.
	Karp claimed that some of the campus protesters were even pro-North Korean.
	He said, I think we ought to do an exchange program.
	We can let them spend a couple of months in North Korea tasting nice flavored bark, he said.
	Well, you know, he's the guy who is a socialist, isn't he?
	He was the guy who is...
	Embraced all this communism along with Hillary Clinton.
	He said, look at Columbia. There's literally no way to explain the investment in our elite schools.
	And then the output is a pagan religion.
	A pagan religion of mediocrity and discrimination and intolerance and violence.
	Well, he's absolutely right about that.
	100% right about that. But guess what?
	How long has it been that way?
	Did that just happen with these recent riots against the state of Israel?
	To these people, it did.
	They're perfectly fine with it.
	They knew that it was about discrimination, intolerance, and violence, and they were fine until the discrimination, intolerance, and violence was directed towards them.
	Then they have an issue with it.
	And only when it is targeted towards them.
	They don't care to stop it for anybody else.
	They will stop it only for anti-Semitism.
	And that's it. None of the other discrimination, violence, intolerance of white people, that's fine.
	That will continue.
	There will be no monitoring of that.
	There will be no punishment for that.
	As a matter of fact, these same people who were demanding that these universities be shut down were the ones who were funding the universities when they were doing that.
	He added that he thinks a double standard has spread across campuses, you think?
	Yeah, it's not okay to be white.
	Got to take those signs down.
	Not even okay.
	Protesters dedicate themselves to an architecture of anti-discrimination while dressing in masks and excluding the population that has been discriminated, the most discriminated for the last 3,000 years, he said.
	Again, they only care when it comes for their people.
	When it comes for you, they're perfectly fine with it.
	They fund it, as a matter of fact.
	So he also said about the conference that he fantasized about drone striking his competitors.
	He said, I historically have been one that would rage against Silicon Valley venture people, and I had all sorts of fantasies of using drone-enabled technology to exact revenge, especially targeted in violation of all norms.
	Oh, isn't that great?
	You know, once these people have had this kind of power for a while, they start to openly boast about it in public.
	Just like Hillary that he supported.
	Very much like that.
	And yet, think about how pervasive this stuff all is.
	When we look at the recruitment film.
	This is a recruitment film for the psychological warfare people.
	It does a lot of plays on ideas and invisible hands.
	And of course, they're not talking about Adam Smith.
	And we know what their ideas are.
	Take a look at this. It's a very dark vision.
	There are many people in the world who really don't understand.
	Freedom has many difficulties.
	But we have never had to put a wall up to keep our people in.
	Freedom is indivisible.
	And when one man is enslaved, all are not free.
	They talk about this as if they were not the slavers.
	They talk about this as if they were not the censors.
	Pictures of faceless human heads.
	Modern war has become a struggle for men's minds as well as for their bodies.
	Today we face an enemy who spends enormous sums of money and manpower all over the globe in an attempt to subvert the thinking of the people of the free world.
	Confused, divided, and ultimately desubjected.
	Have we become the bad guys with this?
	Is this self-describing?
	When power corrupts, Yeah, there's a ghost.
	We must never forget that art is not a form of propaganda.
	It is a form of truth.
	And yet, this is about the people of the propagandists.
	...control of emotions can be gained by understanding the stimulus response pattern.
	Many everyday things become associated with these primary stimuli, partly by a process called conditioning...
	This is a B.S. Skinner view of the world.
	Beyond freedom and dignity.
	The doctored photographs, the misquotation, the insinuation, and the lie.
	I think of fire connecting with emotions.
	Sorry.
	Get back.
	Keep showing the picture of that ghost projected on that human head.
	You've got to get a hold of yourself.
	We have to work together.
	We have to work together.
	You have to help. We'll light our country and all who serve it.
	And the growth of that fire.
	And truly light the world.
	We believe, it says.
	We believe. Psywar.
	Yes, in modern warfare, our military leaders are finding that words and ideas are highly effective weapons.
	Yeah. They want to weaponize censorship.
	They want to weaponize propaganda.
	They want to weaponize behavioral psychology, which, as I said, we had a pandemic of behavioral psychology.
	Not a virus.
	not a pandemic of any disease. The disease is what you just saw there. They openly talk about how important it is to manipulate people's emotions. That said nothing. There was a lot of imagery there. It was quite frankly dark and satanic. A lot of fire, a lot of faceless people. You had one of the heads there, they continued to project a picture of a ghost on it. Look, our
	government, especially the people who are involved in psychological warfare, and that really is the main part of the Special Forces.
	Years ago, when I was doing a lot of investigation into asymmetric warfare, at the time, Admiral McRaven was head of Special Forces.
	And he said, everybody thinks of special forces as being these kinetic operations where you got the Navy SEALs, you know, jumping out of the planes and, you know, blowing up an enemy dam or, let's say, a pipeline.
	How about that? You know, any of that kind of stuff.
	And he said, but it really begins with psychological operations.
	That's how we started. We've got to get back to that.
	That's the really important thing.
	That we win before there's ever even a conflict.
	That we destroy their will to fight.
	That we divide and conquer them.
	And that, folks, is what this is all about.
	We have a government that operates in the dark.
	We have a government that operates with deception.
	We have a government that prides itself on mind control.
	We have a government that is not about being the light to the world.
	We're not the shining light on a hill.
	These are the forces of darkness that rule us.
	They openly brag about it.
	They openly boast about it.
	They make videos about being secretive and dark and hidden.
	These are the attributes of the forces that we fight, the satanic evil forces.
	If it is good, there's no need to hide it.
	If it is good, you put it up on the hill.
	You expose it. You don't put the good stuff under a basket and hide it.
	You put the things that you're rightfully ashamed of because you know you've got a moral code in you.
	Every single person does.
	You have a certain amount of enlightenment.
	And what these people choose to do is to suppress their evil deeds.
	They know what they're doing is evil.
	They want to keep it in the dark.
	They have lies and darkness.
	They are satanic in every regard.
	Unrock fan. Contra effect.
	It says, please note that the watch reads 9-11 every time that the image is shown in that video.
	I didn't realize that.
	That's really important. Thank you.
	I did not notice that.
	I'll have to go back and look at that.
	Shows 9-11 every time.
	They even boast about it, don't they?
	In your face.
	But good for you. You picked that up.
	I didn't notice that. It's a recruiting video, says the Army Major who created it.
	He is part of the 8th Psychological Operations Group based at Fort Liberty, North Carolina.
	That's what used to be called Fort Bragg, but we've now purged American history.
	We don't honor our heroes.
	It's now Fort Liberty.
	By the way, they don't honor Liberty either.
	He also made the first video two years ago.
	About ghosts and sci-war and that sort of thing.
	That's interesting. Shows 9-11 and every time they show that watch.
	I was kind of distracted by the chess headpiece.
	It's like, what? What? That's what we have here.
	Why are they picking that up?
	I don't know the significance of the night chess piece for them.
	Anyway, he asked that his name not be used.
	To protect his identity. Why is that necessary?
	Are you ashamed of what you do?
	Are you ashamed about doing a video talking about 9-11 and all the different places?
	So, he says, you watch the video.
	And, well, one of the recruiters said, this is what we use to go around and recruit people for this.
	The ghost in the machine videos.
	And he says, you watch the video and you're like, okay, this is how I will influence and change behavior.
	That's what it's about.
	It's all about psychological manipulation, forcing you to adopt this stuff.
	It's all about changing your behavior.
	Again, winning the war without having to fight you because they change your behavior.
	And it is very Skinner-esque.
	And of course, B.F. Skinner said we're going to, he envisioned a world that was beyond freedom and beyond dignity.
	We've lived in that world now for four years.
	The masks were beyond dignity and beyond freedom, weren't they?
	The lockdowns were beyond freedom and dignity.
	You're not essential.
	The Wall Street companies are essential, said Trump.
	You will shut down your business.
	And here, I'll give you a little bit of an allowance.
	Eh, $1,300 and a little bit more later, but we'll keep people from kicking you out of your home for now.
	About six months after the first video was released, the command began surveying soldiers who had applied for the SIOP mission and got into the assessment and selection course.
	More than 51% said the video had a medium to high level of influence on their decision to try out for the job, said recruiters.
	So, across the screen, do you believe?
	Do you believe? It leaves that there for a while.
	And then it comes up, do you believe in the power of words and ideas?
	Yeah. Do you believe?
	If you do, if you believe in God, get out of here.
	If you believe in the satanic ideas that we will hide this information, that we will secretly manipulate people without their knowledge against their will, That we will coerce and lie to them.
	That we hide ourselves in the darkness.
	If you believe that, you should sign up to become a PSYOP agent for the military, for the government.
	Will you? We believe.
	That's the final frame that says PSYWAR. And it shows their website there.
	Well, as all of that stuff is happening, we see that at West Point, where it was just in March, Well, over a month ago, they got rid of duty, honor, country.
	Maybe it's Pompeo who gave them that idea.
	He said, you know, at West Point, we said, we don't lie, cheat, or steal.
	We don't tolerate those who do. But then I went to the CIA, and we lie, we cheat, we steal, we have classes on it.
	They also have classes on coups, on wars, on assassinations, the rest of the stuff.
	On psychological war.
	On gaslighting and lying to people.
	Quite frankly, I'm sick of it.
	I am sick of it. Anyway, at West Point, they have some courses that somebody just exposed.
	They put out on X, this was sent to me, classes at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point.
	Quite sure that China and Russia are not teaching this nonsense to their officers.
	Fix yourself, they said.
	And so what was it that they're doing?
	What is a psi war that they're using against the people who will be the leaders of the military in the future?
	Well, number one, they want these military leaders of the future to deconstruct patriotism.
	You can't have people who love their country fighting for the government in a civil war, can you?
	So you've got to deconstruct patriotism.
	Deconstructing patriotism, exploring post-modernism, that means that there is no truth.
	That's a post-modernism.
	It's post-objective reality.
	It's saying that science doesn't matter.
	It's what I say that matters.
	Everybody's got a truth.
	The only truth they have is that there is no truth.
	That's post-modernism.
	So, deconstructing patriotism, exploring post-modernism, and U.S. Army recruitment amidst the lack of a national narrative.
	Well, I think they've got a national narrative.
	To destroy the nation.
	That's what they're training the soldiers at West Point to do.
	That's why they need to remove duty, honor, and country.
	Because they're deconstructing patriotism.
	When I put that up, a couple months ago I had somebody who had like...
	Eight followers, probably some bot account for this very group.
	So that's not true.
	That's not what they're attacking me about.
	You're just a sensationalist liar.
	It's like, oh really? Which three little agency do you work for?
	You explain to me why they have to remove duty, honor, and country.
	Number two, uniformed perspectives.
	The evolution of cross-dressing in the military.
	And gender norms.
	No, they're abnormals.
	Normalizing that.
	Again, a psychological warfare on their minds.
	And this is another evidence of it being satanic.
	This obsession with sexuality.
	This confusion where they don't even know what sex they are.
	Because, you know, it's post-modernism.
	We're post-genitals on this.
	It doesn't matter what my body is.
	There is no objective reality.
	Everything is subjective.
	Everything is in my mind, and I'm so confused because I've got all these different voices telling me different things all the time.
	Number three, do my leaders get me?
	Do they get me?
	Unpacking the importance of representation in the military.
	Number four, harder rights, an approach to espoused values and behavior inconsistency.
	That's what they're teaching.
	Not duty honoring country, but cross-dressing, deconstructing patriotism, confusion, lies.
	The point of contact for these courses is Dr.
	Morton Ender, professor of sociology and co-chair of the Diversity and Inclusion Studies minor at West Point.
	They've got a minor in that.
	They might have some minors in the closet as well, don't you think?
	Dr. Ender has published...
	On related topics, including a paper titled Dinner and Conversation, Transgender Integration at West Point and Beyond.
	Oh, dinner and a conversation.
	Guess who's coming to dinner? It's not like that.
	It's going to be dinner and gender will be the conversations there at dinner.
	What gender are you?
	I haven't figured it out yet.
	And also, inclusion in the U.S. military.
	A force for diversity.
	As if that was some kind of an advantage.
	Not for good.
	No. For diversity. Yes, diversity.
	Yes. It actually is about dividing us and conquering us.
	That's what diversity really is.
	Former U.S. Air Force Lieutenant Colonel Karen Kwiatkowski.
	Who had worked at the Pentagon and at the NSA, has warned that the United States cannot match the power and the protection of nations like Russia.
	Her statements came off the back of the news that shipping giant Maersk was cutting their contracts with the U.S. military, saying, you know what, we're not going to deal with you anymore.
	We've got a smaller offshoot company, got a new small company, they'll help you.
	But wait a minute, they don't go everywhere, right?
	Don't want to be bothered. We've got these contracts with the Chinese and the Russians, and they're a lot more promising.
	Creating a logistical bind to transport America's weaponry.
	You see, everything that they're doing here, they're deconstructing patriotism, they're deconstructing West Point.
	They're deconstructing the minds of these people who are going to be leading the military.
	They're looking for people who have two spirits in them, as they say, right?
	People who are confused, who quite frankly should have been Section 8 out of the military, just like Corporal Klinger was trying to get.
	Of course, Klinger was not nearly as crazy as these people.
	He knew he wasn't a trainee.
	These people think they are.
	And so, if you look at all this, the bottom line is, yes, it is satanic.
	The plan, the satanic plan, is to take down this country.
	To, you know, put these soldiers in red high-heeled shoes and parade them around and then send them off to a war they think they can win.
	When they have been taught to contemplate their gender above all other things.
	These people are so self-absorbed.
	Such lovers of self, as we have been told 2,000 years ago.
	In the last days, people will become lovers of self.
	Is that not what we see?
	These people so obsessed about it.
	People like Sam Britton. Hanging out in a group that mentors trans teens.
	So he's a pedophile, right?
	And then he steals luggage of women if they've got unusual clothes so he can dress up like them.
	And this is the guy that Biden puts in charge of a nuclear program to control nuclear waste.
	This country is circling the drain.
	Here's what she had to say specifically about this shipping thing.
	She said, we have an inability to outproduce the Russian military.
	That's right. They're producing shells faster than we can, faster than the Ukrainians and the Europeans can.
	We cannot outproduce the Chinese military in terms of our weapons production.
	Our technology cannot match theirs either in terms of hypersonics or any other advanced technologies.
	I mean, look at the story of our F-35 going missing in South Carolina not long ago.
	This is putting a face to the reputation of what modern military technology has done to us.
	It is not making us stronger, better, faster.
	As a matter of fact, the unlimited amounts of money that these people enjoy, being able to print this money, having this as a reserve currency of the world, having no accountability for the debt that they bring up, That's going to come crashing down on all of us.
	But what it has done already is it has corrupted them.
	It's made them soft.
	It's made them dishonest and greedy, as we see from Boeing and other companies like that.
	She said, if we can logistically go other places, if we could with these ships, we don't have the stuff to point on the ships to bring to fight a war, to bring a war to other places like China, like Russia, or anywhere else.
	So why are we aggressively pushing for a war with all these different countries?
	Why are we doing that? And again, it is suicidal.
	These people are, it's like all of them have been popping SSRI pills.
	We have a suicide murder pentagon and government.
	We are not a force to be reconned with, and I think she means reckoned with.
	And it doesn't matter what you tell the American people.
	Hoorah, we're great.
	We can do it. USA, USA. In reality, the folks that are our near-peer competitors or anybody in this planet that have access to the same information that you or I do are drawing these same conclusions.
	The end of the American empire is near, she said.
	I think we can all see that.
	We can see how these things are being brought together.
	I think it's judgment on this country.
	When we look at the issue of shared culture, this whole idea of diversity is our strength.
	Without shared culture and history, America is just a shell of its former self.
	This article from The Federalist.
	You know, we need to, if what we do, if we can't live in the light, if we can't be proud of what we do, what we say, if you can't do it openly, then maybe you shouldn't be doing it at all.
	And yet, it is this cult of darkness and secrecy that has been with us ever since we went to the other side after World War II. We bring in the people from Operation Paperclip.
	We're fine with you torturing, killing people, even American soldiers that you had in captivity.
	We just want to know what you found out.
	And we're going to set up a research program and put you in charge.
	We'll have some Americans at the top so people don't see.
	But you'll be the real people in charge of this with Operation Paperclip.
	Well, you know, all of this was everything had to be secret because it was all a matter of national security.
	So in the name of the military, in the name of the military industrial complex, and in the name of the intelligence community, everything was national security.
	Everything had to be kept secret.
	Well, here's the deal, folks.
	I'll say to those people who are doing this, Nothing, nothing is hidden from God.
	You will stand before God and you'll answer for this one day.
	Whether it happens in this life or not, whether this empire is judged and destroyed, time will tell.
	But you will each individually stand before God.
	You know, it's kind of interesting.
	These near-death experiences are kind of a mixed bag in many ways.
	One pastor said, I was very affected by it.
	It actually made him become a Christian.
	And so he started looking at the commonalities of these different things.
	And he said even though some people interpret it differently, if you look at their experiences, they're very similar.
	Very, very similar. And so it kind of depends on their interpretation.
	And so he said if you look at their experiences differently, And not what their interpretations are.
	Some of them say, well, I just met this being of light and nothing matters.
	It's just all love and peace and I don't have to worry about anything.
	Or I met Buddha or this or that, they think.
	But actually, nobody says that they saw a Hindu god with blue skin or anything like that.
	They don't describe any of that. Instead, what they see is a man holding a book.
	They have life reviews and things like that in many cases.
	They see a man holding a book.
	That is something that we get from the Old and New Testament, from the Judeo-Christian Bible.
	That's not something that you see in these other world religions.
	But what is going to happen is we're all going to stand before God.
	Our life is going to be reviewed.
	The books will be opened. And we will see what we have done.
	And that's true for these people who are playing these little secret spy games.
	These people who are operating in the dark.
	These people who are doing occultic things.
	Hidden things. That's what occult means.
	Hidden. Driven by disdain for America's legacy, the left seeks to obliterate it by inviting migrants with no connection to our past and no inclination to embrace it.
	Biden referred to Japan, China, and Russia as xenophobic.
	Why? Well, because they have a people.
	They have a culture. You know, always in the past.
	We've talked about nations, tongues, and tribes.
	That's the way the Bible describes it.
	Michael Savage says, you know, it's that nations, tongues, and tribes.
	He says borders, languages, culture.
	The same thing. Nations, tongues, and tribes.
	And so Biden says that idea is xenophobic.
	Fear of strangers, in other words.
	Biden said, you know, one of the reasons why our economy is growing is because we welcome immigrants.
	Why is China stalling as bad economically?
	Well, it's because there's zero COVID, but, you know.
	Anyway, why is Japan having trouble?
	Why is Russia?
	Because they're xenophobic.
	They don't want immigrants, but immigrants are what make us strong.
	Diversity is our strength.
	Well, diversity has never been the strength of a nation.
	Never has. Biden wants you to be as ignorant of history as he perhaps is.
	Let's just look at the root of that word for a moment here.
	One of the things that I really enjoyed teaching our kids, we did not get into Latin or Greek language.
	But we wanted to, because I just didn't have the time to do that.
	I'd never studied any of that.
	And it was just too daunting.
	However, we could find the resources at these homeschooling conventions where you go through a lot of words and look at the Latin and Greek roots.
	And I think the etymology of a word is very, very enlightening.
	So what is the etymology of diversity?
	Well, there's a couple of Latin words.
	There's diversus, which in Latin means turned different ways.
	If everybody's turned in a different way, how does that make us strong?
	We're all doing our own thing.
	We don't have a common cause.
	We don't have a common vision.
	We're all turned in different ways.
	But diversity itself really comes from diversitas.
	In Latin, that means contradiction.
	In Latin, that means disagreement.
	In Latin, that means contrary.
	When they tell you that diversity is our strength, what they're telling you is that the Tower of Babel makes us strong.
	They want to divide and conquer.
	They want chaos. And when they tell you that diversity is our strength, diversity is their strength.
	It truly is. It's not our strength.
	Diversity is how they divide us and how they conquer us for their purposes.
	So in a book, Who Are We?, The Challenges to America's National Identity, political scientist Samuel Huntington said, Would America be America it is today if in the 17th and 18th centuries it had been settled not by British Protestants, but by French or Spanish or Portuguese?
	The answer is no. It would not be America.
	It would be Quebec or Mexico or Brazil.
	And what about the West?
	Would the West remain what it was if it continued to accept immigrants from parts of the world hostile to its values and its traditions?
	That answer is also no.
	The West would no longer be the West.
	Eventually, it would look like a conglomeration of South America, Sub-Saharan Africa, Asia, parts of the Middle East.
	More importantly, these disparate cultures that they would set up as clusters would be fighting each other in disagreement and contrary purposes, marching in different directions with different cultures, different languages. All just fighting for the same resources.
	Fighting us ourselves so that they can control and rule everything.
	That, folks, is what they want.
	That is the purpose of the open borders that Trader Johnson so wants.
	As a matter of fact, he so wants it.
	He can spend $100 billion on continuing to fund these wars, not a penny on the border, and yet still give $3.5 billion to the Biden State Department To bring in Palestinians.
	That's how much Johnson hates us.
	How he has sided with a people like Alex Karp at Palantir against us.
	So, when I look at all this, it's like, yeah, you know, those places are fine.
	Some people prefer to live there.
	South America, the Middle East, Sub-Saharan Africa.
	If you want to go there, fine.
	Why is it that I can't have a country?
	Why is it that my culture has to be destroyed?
	Well, we know why.
	Because it is a competition to them.
	It is an obstacle to them.
	And it must be removed.
	The people in sub-Saharan Africa or the Middle East are not a threat to the globalists.
	They can easily be controlled.
	The people of America, not the American government.
	The American government is allied with the globalists, but the people of America are a threat to them.
	And we must be divided against.
	We must be conquered with chaos.
	We are not allowed to continue in our culture.
	And that's what the purpose of these elite institutions have been.
	That's what the purpose of West Point is now.
	Traditionally, nations have been an amalgamation of communities and individuals bound together by the bonds of common ancestry, common language, common culture, common history within the confines of a specific territory.
	Again, nations, tongues, tribes, borders, language, culture.
	In this paradigm, the United States, once defined by its distinctive identity and heritage, has been summarily supplanted by the concept of America as an idea, transforming the nation into little more than an economic opportunity zone for people like Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy.
	Remember when they got together, it's like, oh yeah, we've got to have open immigration.
	We've got to have the cheapest and best labor here.
	Colonizers. They're the colonizers.
	They call us colonizers.
	They're the colonizers.
	Come to feed on and to destroy what has been created by our ancestors.
	They are the locusts who have come here, sent by God as a judgment against this country that has lost its way, that has become materialist.
	Robbing us in the Cloward and Piven way, amongst other ways.
	So this economic opportunity zone should be accessible to anyone who can reach its shores, regardless of the adverse effects on our culture.
	Or the adverse effects on our crime rates.
	Or the adverse financial consequences of depressed wages for the average American worker.
	Because, you know, people like Elon Musk and Ramaswamy, they're smarter than us.
	They deserve to be billionaires.
	We don't deserve anything.
	We're lazy, stupid people who need to be kicked to the curb.
	Today's Western student activists...
	The primary drivers of multiculturalism under the academic gospel of diversity, equity, and inclusivity.
	They enthusiastically embrace all cultures except their own.
	Well, I wouldn't put it that way because I don't think that America is their culture.
	They have been raised through a foreign indoctrination, a foreign culture, K-12 in college.
	It is a seminary of Satan.
	It is a Marxist seminary.
	And so he says, you know, Plato discussed the effects of multiculturalism and diversity within a polity a long time ago.
	And of course, Plato is somebody who wanted to be an absolute dictator.
	He had three classes of people, the ruling elite.
	The strong-armed, you know, guardians and then the people who are going to be ruled and the working class to serve those other two classes.
	So I'm not a Plato fan.
	I don't have a platonic relationship with that philosopher.
	But, you know, in a sense, he talks about the things that Plato said were necessary to For a nation to exist.
	And it's true. And they can exist in a good form or they can exist in a bad form.
	And these things have not disappeared from America.
	These three things are homogeneity, assimilation, and the foreign influence, being free of foreign influence.
	And so these things are there, but in a twisted way.
	So when you talk about homogeneity, he said a harmonious society in which individuals have defined roles and duties, but it's more than that.
	That's what he defined it as.
	Again, people who would come here, even though they were coming from different backgrounds, when we talk about the Ellis Island experience, they came because they were coming partly for an idea, an idea of liberty, an idea of freedom.
	But they liked the society and culture that they were coming to because they understood that that was what produced those things as wealth.
	So they weren't just coming for the money.
	They weren't just coming for the liberty.
	They were coming for all of these.
	Those are products of what this culture that they loved was about.
	Let me take a look at Irving Berlin.
	Somebody who truly loved America because he appreciated what he found here.
	Assimilation. Plato envisioned a state that strongly emphasized education and shaping citizens to adhere to the state's values and laws.
	This was the idea that the schools are based on.
	We started these government schools because people wanted to shape students.
	And it was sold in a lot of these states to say, we're going to make good citizens out of them.
	We're going to make good employees out of them and that type of thing.
	But as Alex Newman pointed out when I interviewed him last week, he said, well, no, actually, this was the vision of Owens and other socialist, communist.
	You know, he was a socialist before communism was a thing, a term.
	Before communism was cool.
	But when you go back and look at these people over the last one and a half centuries, even in America, they were all about using the schools to manipulate kids, to assimilate them into their society, away from their parents.
	That was the issue from the very beginning with Robert Owens, and that was the issue with Horace Mann and the issue with Thomas Dewey.
	We've got to get them away from their parents so that we can instill our culture in them, so that we can assimilate them.
	And you want to know what that culture is?
	It's demonstrated on these campuses right now.
	This is an effing school.
	This is an effing school.
	We come here to effing learn.
	I've got to learn public health.
	He shouts at the cops as he's fighting them.
	Foreign influence. Plato feared the possible negative effect of foreign concepts and traditions on Native culture.
	Theodore Roosevelt, for example, addressed...
	The similar concerns the United States in a 1915 speech on the subject of Americanism.
	He disapproved of the idea of hyphenated Americanism, which describes individuals who identified with both their American nationality and their ethnic or ancestral nationality.
	And, you know, it is...
	A lot of people, you know, Karen was from New York, and a lot of people that were there, like her, were second generation.
	And I guess...
	I guess she was third generation.
	Her mom was born here.
	Her grandparents immigrated.
	But, you know, they would still know.
	They came from Italy or from Poland initially.
	You know, they had cultural things, food and festivals and things.
	And that's fine. That's fine.
	But Theodore Roosevelt was particularly concerned about that.
	He didn't like the hyphenated stuff.
	I don't have that big a problem with it.
	I mean, when I met Karen, she asked me, she said, What ethnicity are you or nationality are you?
	I said, I'm American. She says, yeah, everybody says that.
	She said, no, really.
	I said, no, really, I'm American.
	I have no idea where people centuries ago came from, and I don't care.
	I'm just an American.
	I've never met anybody like that before.
	I'm from New York.
	So she's a New York American.
	Anyway, he said, genuine Americanism required unwavering loyalty to the United States.
	Well, you know, I'm actually a hyphenated American.
	I'm a Christian American.
	This world is not my home.
	This country is not my home.
	I love it.
	Yeah, that's right, where Jesus is king.
	Now, I'm not supposed to say that anymore, right?
	So I'm going to make a point of saying it.
	It's where Jesus is king.
	On this earth, I'm a stranger and a pilgrim.
	It's a temporary situation.
	I'm just passing through here.
	I'm kind of a migrant on my way to, not New York City, but the real promised land.
	Just passing through.
	America is not a mere abstract idea, or a frivolous experiment, as nations do not dwell in the realm of abstraction.
	But they're about to, in virtual reality.
	That's where these people, Yuval Harari and others, want us to live, in virtual reality.
	Diversity, when taken to the extreme levels seen across the West, has led to significant internal discord and strife, giving rise to populist and nationalist movements that rightfully find meaning in retaining or restoring the values and the traditions that once made Western nations great.
	Within the United States, movements such as America First are a natural response.
	No, it's not a response. George Washington was America first.
	George Washington said, we don't want to have entangling alliances.
	The nations of Europe are in a constant state of war.
	Today, we talk about the Middle East in a constant state of war.
	Getting involved in that on one side or the other enslaves us to both friends and to foes.
	That was what George Washington said then.
	It is still true today.
	And that is not what we as a people want.
	We want peace.
	We want trade and relationships with other people.
	We don't seek war.
	That's not the American way.
	And anybody tells you that's what we want?
	Anybody like Mike Johnson?
	He's not an American.
	Not an American at all.
	We'll be right back.

	Interested in a curated list of the finest classical music?
	Find it now at APSradio.com. Well welcome back and we put that commercial together even before we knew we were kicked off of Vimeo.
	So I don't know if we still have any shows up at Roku or not, typically once you've been flagged to somebody.
	And this is something that happened to us last year.
	Last year was interesting on our podcast podcast.
	Because prior to that, we'd pretty much been left alone on Spreaker, which is a subset of iHeart.
	And then last year we had two things that happened.
	First of all, I pulled the ads in September.
	That put us at the back of the list.
	Even when we pulled them back on, it was slow taking off.
	And then what they did was they killed our downloads to a large degree.
	Took a big hit in November because they took down our show for about three days.
	We didn't realize it, but they just shut it all down.
	And then when we talked to them, we said, what happened?
	Well, we got a complaint.
	A complaint. A single complaint after we've been there for six years.
	They got a complaint.
	They did not contact us.
	They just preemptively took us down.
	Let me ask you, who do you think complained to them about that?
	Which three-letter agency you think did it?
	I don't know which three-letter agency did, but I bet it was a three-letter agency.
	A complaint. A complaint from one agency.
	They say, take this down.
	And so they took it down.
	We appealed that, and they brought it back.
	It was down for three days.
	We thought, what I didn't realize was that when they brought it back, they weren't sending it out except to one podcast.
	And so that really hurt us because we didn't realize that for a couple of weeks.
	So, you know, when people who subscribe to you see you disappear for a few weeks, they think you're gone.
	And so that breaks the habit.
	So we had a couple of things like that happen to us last year.
	If you want us to continue, the best thing you can do for us, it helps, of course, we need the support.
	We use volunteer support because we know that if we get sponsors, they're going to pull the rug out from underneath us.
	I've been around enough to know that.
	So if you want to support us, that's how we're going to stay on the air.
	But it's also about trying to grow this and trying to get to more people.
	We just had this last week.
	We had 17 people send us contributions via check, and Karen said 12 of them were new.
	So that's good. And we need your help, and we appreciate your help.
	A lot of people have liked the stream wherever they get it.
	They like it. They do things to pass it on on social media.
	That really does help when I guest host for other shows.
	We always have people who will say, I didn't know that you were still doing this.
	I thought you disappeared years ago when Alex fired you.
	It's like, yeah, that's what he wanted you to think.
	That's why he kept the broadcasts that were in my name.
	And it took us months to get those turned over to us.
	And again, you know just having a couple of weeks of that disappear people think that you're gone. We're good So I want to thank the people who sent us contributions.
	Like I said 17 here and 12 of them new Matt G., Lois L., Jeremy W., Woody T., Paul D., Thank you very much.
	Thank you, Ryan.
	I appreciate that.
	Long-time supporter.
	Well, let's talk a little bit about...
	What the state of the nation is.
	You know, we just talked about how our military, essentially writing checks I can't cash, we have a very belligerent empire that is really not able to keep up anymore, apparently.
	And here's a good example of it in our infrastructure, for example.
	How much money and time did it take to build the interstate system?
	It was built between 1956 and 1991.
	Where I lived, most of it went up in the 1960s.
	So that's about a 25-year period.
	Over that 25-year period, it is, according to this ballpark estimate from whatitcost.com, They said, well, the initial estimate was $114 billion in the initial dollars in 1956.
	But of course, that means nothing.
	We can't really tell if it was a cost overrun because of what the Federal Reserve has done to the value of our money. So they kind of put it together over this 25-year period and said, well in 2008, which is when they put this together, that'd be about 500 billion dollars in 2008. So I thought, well let's bring it up to date 2024. I was surprised to see that what you could get for 500 billion dollars in 2008, that here we have, you know, 16
	years later it would take not 500 billion but 725 billion in 2024.
	In other words, it's gone, you have to have almost 50% more.
	That's what they've done to the value of the dollar in these last 16 years.
	So let's just go with that $725 billion figure in today's money.
	What does that work out to per mile?
	Well, there's about 40,000 miles of interstate that were built.
	So that's about 18 and one-eighth million dollars per mile.
	About 18 million dollars per mile.
	So when you look at how long did it take them to build 40,000 miles, And again, they probably started and stopped in different places over that 25-year period.
	But let's just take, say, 25 years to build 40,000 miles.
	Well, that's about 1,600 miles per year.
	They were adding it in a pretty good clip.
	So 1,600 miles per year, and it's costing them just over $18 million per mile.
	Now, why do I bring this up?
	Because California... Oh, the worst case example of spendthrift government.
	California, as part of their high-speed rail authority, They posted on X, look what we just got done.
	We have the Fresno River Viaduct in Madeira County as one of the first completed high-speed rail structures.
	At nearly 1,600 feet long, high-speed trains will travel over the riverbed and will run parallel to the BNSF Railroad, they wrote. And people mocked them endlessly for that nonsense.
	And it is nonsense. As one person said, well, it takes about five minutes to walk 1,600 feet.
	So you're going to put a high-speed rail thing on that?
	It won't even get started before it runs off the other end.
	I mean, that's ridiculous.
	And there's nothing on either side of it.
	It is not just a bridge to nowhere.
	It's a bridge from nowhere to nowhere.
	Right? I did some work for the Department of Transportation in Raleigh.
	And one of the guys that was working there, taking the phone stuff, and they would have people who would call up the Department of Transportation and ask them for directions to different places.
	Yeah. And he would place all these messages.
	One of them was this woman who just called up and she says, what's going on?
	What's going on? And then hangs up.
	I guess it was a traffic jam on the interstate or something.
	But this guy says, I'd like to have, can I get directions from Raleigh to Raleigh on a Thursday?
	It's like, well, let me see.
	I don't know.
	On a Thursday, that's the day that you want to travel.
	That'll change the directions, I guess.
	They would get crazy stuff there, but yeah, when you look at our infrastructure and the lunacy that is happening with it.
	So how much did this 1,600-foot-long Foot-long high-speed rail.
	That's the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen.
	How long did that take and how much did it cost compared to the interstate?
	Well, that's about a third of a mile.
	And it took them nine years.
	Okay, so it took them nine years to go one-third of a mile.
	Whereas with the interstate, they were doing 1,600 miles a year.
	So, we're talking about the fact that today...
	The people who run our government are 47,000 times slower than our government used to be.
	In other words, zero.
	They can't get anything done.
	It's ludicrous. And it's pointless what they did, too.
	Like I said, it's a bridge from nowhere to nowhere, and it's only 1,600 feet long.
	And it took them nine years and $11 billion.
	So how does that compare? Well, again, it was $18.18 million per mile.
	And when you look at that, you know, this $11 billion that they spent for 1,600 feet, well, 2,000 times more expensive than what we paid to get the current interstate put in right after World War II for 25 years.
	So, again, 2,000 times more in cost and 47,000 times slower.
	We can't do anything anymore.
	I mean, we have a pathetic government that all it does is destroy.
	And we have our universities where they're telling people, don't worry about getting the right ideas for math.
	There is no objective truth.
	There is no absolute truth.
	And when you say that there is no objective truth, when you're going to push postmodernism, it is imperative that you destroy math.
	It's one of the reasons why George Orwell said the totalitarians are going to have people say 2 plus 2 equals 5.
	You cannot have any objective truth.
	Truth is what they tell you.
	And they want to tell you things that they know are not true.
	Things that you know are not true.
	Things that they know you know are not true because they want you to bend to their will, to their lies, and repeat them.
	That's what totalitarianism is about.
	And so, again, this thing absolutely does nothing.
	One person said people will be teleporting between planets by the time California achieves high-speed rail service.
	No, they won't. Not in this failed society.
	Maybe some other society will teleport people.
	Not this society.
	It'll be home to thousands of homeless people long before a single train travels on it, said another one.
	That's more like it.
	A bridge from nowhere to nowhere.
	And then we take a look at what has happened to the airline industry.
	I talked about this last week as well.
	Everything is just literally falling apart.
	Pieces falling off of planes.
	And even to the extent that when a piece falls off of one of these Boeing planes and a lawyer who is suing them, and another piece falls off of another plane and lands there at his property.
	It's just like it's...
	It's raining airplane parts because of the people who are raining us.
	That's what's happening.
	And so the FAA is opening a new probe into Boeing over potentially falsified records in the 787 inspections.
	Now, I've talked about...
	What they're saying is they want to have...
	They're going to re-inspect all of the Boeing 787 airplanes.
	That are currently in production.
	And Boeing has got to come up with a plan to address the in-service fleet.
	Why is this stuff happening?
	Well, I think it's happening largely because we have a corrupt and greedy government that deals with corrupt and greedy contractors.
	They don't have to compete.
	They have to buy these politicians.
	And so this is the way it has been.
	This is the way it is in the pharmaceutical industry, for example.
	You have to, you know, pay these politicians, pay these bureaucrats, and get to do whatever you want.
	That's what we've been talking about for the longest time with pharma.
	And I think it's kind of interesting, before these planes started falling apart, the Boeing 737 MAX, two...
	High-profile airplane crashes because of systems failures between the computer thinking that it needed to take control fighting the pilots and that type of thing and crashing the plane.
	They had 8,200 flights, and they only had that happen twice.
	So, according to Fauci, that'd be rare.
	It'd be rare. But, of course, everybody died on those two planes.
	That's 500 people total died.
	And... They stopped it.
	They started to investigate it.
	And that's what they're doing now with the 787s.
	They're starting to investigate it. Let's do that kind of stuff with the pharmaceutical companies.
	Yeah, imagine if we just said, well, this is Boeing and they're very important.
	We've got to have airplanes, so we're going to give them legal immunity.
	Because, you know, they're having so many problems that if we didn't give them legal immunity, if we had people like this lawyer who's suing them and more parts fall from another plane onto his property, if you had people suing them for that kind of stuff, you'd put them out of business or something.
	We can't have Boeing put out of business.
	They're a military-industrial complex supplier, besides being a large employer.
	So we'll just put up With the corruption.
	We'll put up with the dangerous products.
	That's what they do with pharmaceutical companies.
	The pharmaceutical companies partnering With the military-industrial complex, because they've got an agenda.
	I mean, this is a program, deliberate.
	That's where the difference in this analogy is.
	This is not just, you know, Boeing would like to be able to sit back and relax all the controls and rake in the money and have their planes still flying and not falling apart.
	Not so with the pharmaceutical companies.
	This was a deliberate plan to kill people.
	With the military, with DARPA and others.
	So that's where the analogy falls down.
	But if we want to not go that far, we want to be more charitable and say that they just didn't do a good job, oh, well, we have to protect them.
	That was the argument from Fauci in 1986.
	You know, we want to vaccinate all these kids, but we can't do it if we're going to Hold these pharmaceutical companies and their vaccines, if we're going to hold them liable for damage that they do to people, we can't do it.
	So now a Boeing supplier, even, Spirit Aerosystems, is suing Texas to block a safety probe.
	How dare you?
	See, this is a light versus a dark again.
	Things that are done in the dark, they don't like the light.
	They don't like a safety probe.
	So they're going to sue to keep this secret.
	I think a lot of this goes back, again, to the federal government, the unlimited amounts of money, partnering with people as part of the military-industrial complex, saying, well, you're so important, we'll let this ride, or, you know, we've got a relationship with you, you paid, you know, congressmen like Johnson, so he's going to give you a pass on this kind of stuff.
	This is a kind of greed and corruption that really comes from the military-industrial complex that Boeing is part of, and then it is a metastasizing cancer that goes out to everything.
	Spirit Aerosystems filed its lawsuit against Attorney General of Texas, Ken Paxton, the same day that its former quality auditor, Joshua Josh Dean, died from a, quote, sudden fast-spreading infection.
	Yeah, two whistleblowers dead, just as they were in the middle of blowing the whistle.
	There are ten more whistleblowers coming out.
	We'll see what happens with all of that.
	It is really amazing.
	And on Rockfin, thank you very much, Karius Rex.
	Thank you for the tip. I really do appreciate that.
	We're gonna take a quick break and we will be right back
	Music playing...
	you you
	Thank you. You're listening to The David Knight
	Show. Well, we have as part of these campus protests, we have an anti-Israel protester at a UCLA encampment.
	They've said a lot of interesting things there.
	Chanting, we don't like white people.
	Is that anything new? Did we not know that?
	See, the problem is that they now see Jews as being white.
	This is what I said about the protests that have been, you know, they've escalated now to another level.
	I said for the longest time, you know, they called Americans, they called white people colonizers.
	They're doing that with Jewish people now.
	And the rich Jewish donors were just fine with that, as long as it wasn't Jewish people.
	Now they've got an issue with it, and they're going to monitor that.
	As frat boys counter-protesting radical Palestinian supporters marching on the University of Mississippi campus are accused of racism for mocking the left-wing anti-Israel activists, virtually no condemnations are heard from these same voices in response to a pro-Palestinian woman.
	Who outright denounces white people at UCLA encampment.
	Yeah, there's a double standard.
	Double standard on racism that is there.
	An anti-Israel protester can be heard dismissing a counter-protester because he is a, quote, white person.
	You're just a white person.
	You're a white person.
	So get out. We don't like white people.
	This is somebody who was...
	Speaking Arabic, who was chanting also Free Palestine.
	She was speaking some Arabic before that.
	And also wearing the fashionable Yasser Arafat headdress.
	It probably has her Che Guevara t-shirt on underneath it as well.
	Journalist Cam Higbee, who challenged the woman and filmed it, explained that she was speaking Arabic and screaming about Jewish colonizers.
	See, Palestinian colonizers are what Biden wants, what these people want.
	You know, we've got to bring in more people like Rashida Tlaib, who, when she got elected to Congress, was waving the Palestinian flag.
	I'll never forget that.
	And she had her relatives there who didn't speak English doing that type of thing, whatever that's called.
	Not my culture.
	And it's not their country either.
	But they want to make it their country.
	And Biden wants the Palestinian colonizers to come here.
	Colonizing is not a good thing, according to them, if it's done by some people.
	But it's a really good thing if it's done by other people.
	Racism is not a good thing if it's done by some people.
	But with other people, it's really a good thing.
	It's not just acceptable.
	It's a good thing to be racist against white people.
	That's what they've been taught in the schools.
	So, Ryan James Godreski says, anti-white, anti-Jewish, anti-American, anti-capitalism, anti-freedom, anti-Western civilization.
	This is their ideology.
	And he said, beat them before they govern you.
	I think we've been governed for quite some time by these people.
	Who are anti-white, anti-American, all of us.
	They have been covering us for a long time.
	And now we are governed by some people like Mike Johnson, who, you know, people would always talk about these white liberal women who hate America and hate white people so much.
	Mike Johnson does.
	And he's a male conservative.
	Now, this is, I guess, a new phenomenon, the GOP white male conservatives who hate America with a passion.
	If you can condemn the Ole Miss monkey noise student, condemn this, said Peter Heinlein.
	He said, the fact that it is fashionable for middle-aged protesters to openly hate white people, but it is outrageous for college students to act in a similar manner, it is exactly what fuels the alt-right in this country.
	Yeah. Amy Metc, an investigative journalist, said, keep telling yourself these protests are about Israel.
	No, it's about their revolution.
	As a matter of fact, they've been very clear about that.
	Just play that for you again.
	There's only one way.
	Just like that chant that we enjoy so much, there is only one solution.
	Take me by the revolution.
	We must have revolution so we can have a socialist reconstruction of the United States of America.
	Yeah, that's why Biden wants the Palestinians.
	He wants what you see there.
	He wants a socialist revolution to take everything down.
	Travis says, the funny thing is, our government is every bit as colonized by Israel as the land in Gaza is.
	I think more so. Our Congress is more so.
	Absolutely. Mark Levin.
	Diabolical, evil, nasty.
	Diabolical, evil, nasty.
	That's the way he would say it, I guess.
	Biden has been backed by white supremacists.
	So there's Mark Levin.
	Let's hate the white people some more, okay?
	No, seriously. That's the way you're going to respond to this?
	Yeah, he's allied himself with those really bad people, the white people.
	That's Mark Levin. This is a guy who writes a book called The Liberty Amendments because he hates the Constitution and he hates liberty.
	And he wants to rewrite it.
	You're going to have people like him, people like Mike Johnson, people like Chuck Schumer rewriting a Constitution and a convention.
	How do you think that's going to work out?
	Yeah, it's just more reminders that government and FBI shills, like Levin, hate white people and are always portraying them as the enemy.
	Here's another example. This is, I think this was AP, it was on Yahoo.
	The rise of white terrorists who set out to kill minorities and immigrants.
	Wow. It's white people who are the problem here, right?
	It's not the open borders.
	It's white people. But this is not even, folks, about any white Americans.
	This is not even about anything that's contemporary.
	This is mainstream media, pure propaganda, going back to 2011, 13 years, and going to a different country, Germany.
	To try to find white people that they can hate, that you can hate.
	And there's nothing in here about it being in the past, about it being in a different country.
	This is put up and put forward by people like Matt Drudge to get you to hate white people.
	Fear the white man. We're the problem, right?
	The racism is just inescapable.
	And it is targeting us for extinction.
	And I'm not going to sit here silently and be quiet about this.
	And even when they go 13 years ago and go into Germany, does anybody here remember Operation Gladio?
	Operation Gladio, we had Henry Kissinger and you had Steve Pachenik.
	You had them moving against the left-wing communist people that were being elected in Italy.
	They didn't like that. Just like they didn't like the left-wing communist guy that was elected in Iran.
	So they overthrew the Iranian government and put in the Shah of Iran, who was so repressive.
	We got the blowback of the Ayatollahs in Iran because of that.
	Well, in Italy, the Communists were winning elections in the 1970s and 60s.
	And so you had these NATO operatives used Operation Gladio.
	They had a terrorist campaign.
	Where they had NATO operatives pretending that they were communists in order to vilify the communists.
	Do you think this is happening here?
	I mean, it certainly is a possibility, isn't it?
	I don't know if these white terrorists that the mainstream media wants you to be so concerned about in Germany, were they being run by NATO? Were they being run by the German government?
	See, now Operation Gladio was a false flag.
	And the Italian government investigated it.
	They said that Steve Pachenik was sent to get Aldo Moro, the kidnapped prime minister of Italy, who was a left-wing communist, to get him killed.
	He had been kidnapped. He knows too much.
	Kill him. That's what they said.
	That's what they found in their trials.
	You know, Steve Pachenik, who I've got a long history with him, against him at InfoWars.
	But anyway, Alex likes him.
	They're good friends. He feeds Alex a lot of information that Alex then feeds to his people as well.
	That's the way this works. He was sent by Henry Kissinger to do that.
	But that whole thing was a false flag.
	They had, you know, it was NATO that was running it.
	They wanted to look like communists.
	I just got to say, now perhaps it's kind of flipped.
	You know, history doesn't exactly repeat itself, but it does rhyme.
	Perhaps now we've got communists who are running our government who portray themselves as white people.
	You think? Is that perhaps what's going on?
	I don't know. I find it suspicious that this would be a featured mainstream news article.
	We've got to hate the white people, says Mark Levin.
	We've got to hate the white people that Biden associated with, the racists.
	And, of course, we know the Democrat Party was a racist party.
	Racist party within his generation.
	But, you know, Mark Levin, look at white people are racists.
	That's the subtext of that.
	It's not just a criticism of Biden.
	And they do the same thing in Germany as well.
	George Washington University anti-Israel protesters call to liberate the world from colonialism and white supremacy.
	Oh, wait a minute. I thought they were anti-Israel.
	They're anti-white there, right?
	The U.S. flag replaced by a Palestinian one.
	And, of course, but none of this stuff has been a problem before.
	And there will be no Awareness Act for any of this stuff whatsoever.
	That'll be fine. That'll be fine.
	So who are the people that are really leading this stuff?
	Well, the possible leader of the Columbia University Hamilton Hall protest is a 40-year-old multimillionaire anarchist who, a trust fund baby, inherited mommy and daddy's money.
	They were in the advertising business.
	So, again, James Carlson, A long-time anarchist, a high-ranking police source, told the New York Post.
	He is the son of notable advertising executives, Dick Tarlow and Sandy Tarlow.
	He reportedly has a child with a model, Kim Herrmann.
	He lived in a $15 million mansion in Manhattan.
	With his second wife, Kristen Kerberg, who is now dating singer John Cougar Mellencamp, according to Page Six.
	And as for James Carlson himself, the trust fund child, he has an arrest record dating back to 2005.
	He spends time agitating college protests when he's away from his 3.4 million three-story townhouse in Brooklyn.
	So I guess that's where he is now.
	I guess maybe he's spent enough money that he's moved down from a $15 million residence to a $3.5 million residence.
	Meanwhile, Hillary Clinton, as I mentioned earlier, supported by Alex Karp, the highest paid CEO, when his company went public four years ago, Because he does the spy software for the military and CIA intelligence community.
	Hillary Clinton's group just gave $500,000 to the most radical climate activists.
	You know, the people who are vandalizing fine art paintings and museums, the people who are gluing themselves to the road, people who are destroying cars, those people.
	She gave them a half a million dollars.
	Hillary Clinton cut a large check recently to a climate change activist hub financing organization behind the disruptive anti-oil protests bringing the total cash transfers to at least a half a million dollars.
	The Climate Emergency Fund is a so-called charity, backing groups leading demonstrations to bring awareness to climate change by vandalizing fine art, by blocking major roads, by gluing themselves to the road to sports cars, engaging in other extreme forms of protest. Between April 2022 and March of 2023, the nonprofit advocacy arm of her charity, Onward Together, granted $200,000
	from the Climate Emergency Fund of that charity.
	And then in...
	Preceding fiscal year, they received, this group, Climate Emergency Fund, received $300,000 from the Clinton group.
	And that charity, they got the $300,000, actually $500,000 from Hillary Clinton.
	They're based in Beverly Hills.
	These people, you want to know why all this stuff is happening in the elite schools?
	It's because the elite people are trying to destroy our country.
	These spoiled brats, these trust fund kids, these Beverly Hills radicals.
	And they're being funded by corrupt politicians like Hillary Clinton.
	So, yeah, rich anarchists.
	We want to tear down our society and build it back with Marxism.
	And then on the other side, we now have people like Alan Dershowitz, who is going to launch a massive offensive lawfare against any anti-Semitic pro-Palestine protesters.
	So he's going to weaponize the types of things that Congress wants to do.
	A lot of these politicians who are selling out to the Israeli government.
	So forget about the First Amendment if you say something that he doesn't like.
	Yeah, this tribalism is not inclusive, is it?
	There's one standard for his people and a different standard for the rest of us here in America.
	There will be no protection for your free speech.
	There will be no protection for your religious beliefs.
	But he will go to bat.
	He's going to set up an organization.
	He says his group is going to be called Hurt a Jew, We Sue.
	And that's what he's going to do.
	He's going to do lawfare against people.
	Again, why is it that these people always want to attack the First Amendment?
	Yeah, when people say false negative things, it does hurt, doesn't it?
	I know. I'm a public figure.
	But does that give you the right to shut these things down?
	Mark Levin said, we need to see the faces of these protesters to make sure they never work anywhere.
	You've got that kind of power?
	I guess you do. I think it's disgusting what people like Mark Levin and Alan Dershowitz are doing for their country, These hyphenated Americans, if they even bother to put America behind it.
	What they're doing for their country and what they're doing to our country.
	I think it is absolutely disgusting.
	We'll be right back. You're
	listening to The David Knight Show.
	Well, the hits just keep coming from South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem actively campaigning to be a vice presidential pick for Trump.
	By the way, you know, he said that he had picked his vice presidential candidate way back in January.
	Now he's saying, I don't know, I don't know.
	But nevertheless, she is kind of a typical politician.
	She had somebody write a hagiography of her.
	And put all kinds of stuff in it.
	That's where she got into trouble talking about shooting her dog and trying to make herself look tough, I guess, was the reality behind it.
	Her staff was truly taken back.
	They tone deaf about that.
	They didn't realize that, you know, as one person said, in the suburbs, we tend not to shoot our dogs.
	But there were other things involved in it as well.
	She claimed that she had met with Kim Jong-un.
	And it turns out that she didn't do that.
	I didn't shoot the dog.
	I ain't shot the sheriff.
	But I did shoot the dog.
	Anyway. Again, all this stuff, these politicians are always self-aggrandizing, narcissistic, opportunistic, flip-flopping, you know, do the plastic surgery, the whole bit, without empathy for dogs or humans or other people.
	But it also turns out that these are pretty obvious lies that you made.
	And that's the big mistake.
	I mean, politicians lie, but...
	When they get really, really obvious like this, it's a big problem.
	She said on Sunday, she admitted that she did not meet with North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un as her new book claimed.
	I remember when I met with North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un, her book said.
	The book, interestingly, is called No Going Back.
	Prophetic title, to be sure.
	I'm sure he underestimated me.
	He didn't know that I could shoot a dog.
	Having no clue about my experience, staring down little tyrants like puppies, I'd been a children's pastor after all, she said.
	Well, it turns out that she's not really much different than George Santos, who, you know, the lying representative from New York that lied about everything in his biography.
	Perhaps there's some elements of truth in hers, unlike George Santos, but he was exposed by AP as having been a drag queen in Brazil.
	I never was, and now he's saying that he is bringing back his drag queen persona, and you can get him to pose for pictures for you and pay him on one of these internet things.
	So, yeah, this is the way it goes with these people.
	Asked directly if she'd met with Kim Jong-un.
	She said, no, I've met with many, many world leaders, many world leaders.
	I'm not going to talk about my specific meetings with world leaders because I don't want to get caught in any more lies.
	Maybe she hasn't met with any of them.
	Maybe she went to World Economic Forum.
	Maybe she went to Davos. Did she go to Bilderberg?
	I'm just not going to talk about it.
	This anecdote should not have been in the book, and as soon as it was brought to my attention, I made sure that it was adjusted.
	And the comment that was made by Information Liberation says, well, this shows that her book was ghostwritten, with at least one story just made up completely, according to her.
	She just turned this over and let them make up the information.
	But when we talk about the shooting of the dog, There's a lot more important lesson to learn from that.
	And Live Action talked about that.
	You know, it is legal to shoot a dog.
	What she did was legal to shoot that dog under those circumstances.
	Was it moral?
	And most people believe that it was not moral.
	And so Live Action, which supports pro-life, says the shooting of the puppy should make us think about abortion.
	The View called her Governor Cruella.
	They called her a sociopath.
	Politico said the dog's death was a sling.
	CNN published an op-ed piece, said Christy Noem, shot her untrainable dog.
	Well, one of the dog books that I've read said, there are no bad dogs, there's just bad owners, quite frankly.
	And that's been my experience as well.
	One of the most maligned breeds of dogs are pit bulls.
	And they can be weaponized, and people get them for that purpose.
	We had a situation in Florida when the boys were young.
	It was a...
	My dad had sold a house, a small house, to a family, and they decided that they would sublet it to somebody.
	And they sublet it to...
	This individual is a criminal and would not pay them rent, and they were afraid of him.
	They would not go there.
	And so they stopped paying the mortgage and they just abandoned the property and we contacted them.
	I don't have anything to do with any of that stuff.
	So I had to go down and take care of it.
	I took the whole family down there.
	Didn't realize what we were getting into until we got into it down there.
	They had a shed with two pit bulls in there.
	And they had been in there for quite some time.
	These people, there was a thing hanging from the tree that they would get the dog to bite and they would sling it around and all that kind of stuff.
	And the neighbor said, be careful, those things are really dangerous.
	So we call it animal control. And they called the police.
	And they had a cop with his pistol drawn up in the tree.
	All these people with animal control tried to get the dogs out.
	They just had one little hole down at the bottom to breathe.
	And when they kind of, you know, stuck the pole in there and they had like a chain noose to put around the dog's head, the dog grabbed that and just started, you know, pulling the thing.
	And the way they finally got it back from, the dog was just so angry and frenzied.
	That it blooded its mouth on that thing.
	And it was really bad.
	They had a dead rabbit in the living room that they'd let starve to death.
	I got very sick cleaning that stuff up.
	And then we went to clean out the closets, all these martial arts trophies, and an empty gun magazine, some hypodermic needles there, and neighbors came by and said, you called the police on Jose's dog?
	I said, let's clean this stuff up real quickly and get out of here.
	But, you know, again, you take dogs like that and you can make them very vicious if you're a bad owner.
	Anyway, getting back to the more important analogy here.
	Her dog was 14 months old.
	Cricket. That's now what she's going to call her campaign, I guess, crickets.
	Because that's what she's going to get when she puts out a call for people to support her.
	She's going to get crickets. She said, Cricket was acting aggressively towards people, had killed a local family's chickens, and was deemed untrainable, less than worthless.
	He said, after the story spread, by the way, killing chickens, I think you, one of the supporters sent us money and said, get yourself some more chickens.
	We talked about how our adopted dog killed half of our chickens.
	So we've done that now.
	We've gotten some other chickens.
	But again, you know, it's largely our fault for, you know, that he got in there and it's our fault for not having trained him.
	But anyway, after the story spread, numb, double down on X, she said, the fact is South Dakota law states that dogs who attack and kill livestock can be put down.
	Given that cricket had shown aggressive behavior towards people by biting them, I decided what I did.
	And so she also talks about how, well, not only was I justified in shooting cricket, but I think Biden's dogs ought to be shot as well because they've bitten several people.
	You know, it's interesting because Biden has absolutely no interest in these dogs.
	He picked them up as a rescue thing and doesn't train them either.
	And because it's, you know, you're supposed to connect with the American people by showing that you care about children, you know, so kiss the babies, get a dog.
	You know, we had Obama got a dog when he moved in the White House.
	He didn't have one before. He doesn't care anything about dogs.
	It's just to fool the people.
	And it seems to work in most cases.
	The only one who didn't do that was Trump, so I guess you figured, well, it's okay to brag about shooting a dog, because that's what Trump would do, I guess.
	She said it was legal for Noam to end the dog's life in this manner, but as the outraged public seems to feel in this case, just because it was legal doesn't make it moral.
	Joan Payton of the German Wire-Haired Pointer Club of America told ABC that cricket was just a baby, that his particular breed of dog isn't mature enough to be fully trained until age two or three.
	Amid typical election-time disagreements, both left-leaning and right-leaning media voices disagreed with Noam's actions.
	She killed a baby dog.
	In an article for Not the Bee, Ian Haworth wrote, without mentioning the dog's alleged aggression, said, My wife's family are farmers in California, and wherever I go, I speak with farmers, ranchers, and agricultural workers across the country.
	I have yet to meet a single person who, A, decided to put down animals because they're not good enough at hunting or smelled bad, or B, boasted about doing so like it is some way heroic or virtuous.
	So live action says, so what's the difference between puppies and babies?
	You know, like Fauci, we talked about the fact that when it came out that he had tortured beagle puppies for one of his pointless experiments, the public really turned on him for the first time.
	And yet, as I mentioned over and over again, I said, do you realize that when you had Planned Parenthood and it was exposed by the Center for Medical Progress and their undercover investigation, that Planned Parenthood was doing murder for hire?
	You tell us what age you want the organs and we'll extract them from the baby.
	And as we pointed out, that means that they have to have the baby be born alive because they don't want these organs to be damaged by ripping the baby apart.
	Or by poisoning the baby or whatever, you know, so they deliver the baby and then they dissect them while they're alive.
	That's the way the organ donation is done in China.
	You know, they kill the prisoners there while they're alive.
	Well, it was Fauci as this legal persecution of David Daleiden with the Center for Medical Progress began.
	It was through discovery that That would not have happened if they had not persecuted him.
	Through discovery, we learned that this murder-for-hire thing was being paid for by Fauci and his NIH, and that they were taking the organs that they'd extracted from living babies, and they'd used them to create, quote-unquote, humanized mice for their experiments.
	And yet, what people cared, people didn't care about that at all.
	I talked about that over and over again.
	People cared about the puppies that he tortured.
	And so they say here in live action, what struck most people about Noam's story was the age of cricket as a puppy.
	And the fact that for many Americans, dogs are, quote, like your children, unquote.
	But it's difficult to overlook the fact that the very same media that understandably reacts with disgust at the shooting of a puppy or with disgust at the torturing of puppies...
	But they don't care about the torture of the murder and the horrific murder that's being done to babies before they're born, to young children who have no need to be vaccinated.
	They overlook all that.
	They really don't care about it.
	They vigorously defend the literal dismemberment and the poisoning We're good to go.
	A woman's most fundamental right.
	Wasn't it interesting? Drew Barrymore, the first time I saw that she had a program was when she got down on her hands and knees and wept and worshipped Dylan Mulvaney before the Bud Light contract.
	One of the most cringy things I've ever seen in my life.
	And yet she did it again with Lala Harris calling her Mom Lala.
	I've been thinking that we really all need a tremendous hug in the world right now.
	But in our country, we need you to be Mamala of the country.
	Mamala. Except that Kamala never had any kids.
	She doesn't have any kids.
	She's not a mom.
	At all. She doesn't like motherhood.
	Yeah. What about that?
	Most people appear more horrified at the idea of a puppy being shot than of a baby in the womb being dismembered.
	That's one of the reasons why she says, we'll call you Mamala.
	You are, it's just like they talk about planned parenthood.
	It's planned not to be a parenthood is what this is all about.
	She's Mamala. She's never had a baby, but she thinks that that is women's most fundamental right to kill their children, and we call her Mamala.
	It's counter-programming to what she really is.
	If we cared about babies as much as we care about dogs, we'd have long since abolished abortion, said Seth Dillon of the Babylon Bee.
	Last year, live-action filmed man-on-the-street interviews asking people, would you guys want to sign a petition to stop puppies from being killed in a shelter?
	People were ready and willing to sign that petition.
	Said, I'm for the dogs. I treat my dogs like my kids.
	But when they were asked immediately afterward...
	About signing a petition to end the killing of babies in the womb, the same people balked.
	I'm not going to get into all that, said one man.
	So, when you look at the way they're killed, shooting versus dismembering.
	Which is the more humane way to kill?
	First of all, we don't support the morality of the killing of either of these, but, you know, the murder.
	It's not just killing is murder.
	But if you're going to murder somebody, is it kinder to shoot them in the head and kill them instantly?
	Or is it better to torture them and dismember them bit by bit while they're alive?
	Because that's what happens with the abortions.
	Look at an abortion for what it is.
	Shooting a puppy is a violent act, but so is killing a defenseless human being in abortion.
	Yet, the same people who defend abortionists as heroes are the ones calling Noam an evil person for what she's doing.
	In a first trimester DNC abortion, A powerful suction is used to remove the pre-born baby, rapidly tearing him or her to pieces.
	In a second trimester, D&E abortion, the baby is dismembered as the abortionist uses a sofa clamp to pull off her arms and legs before crushing her skull.
	It is brutal.
	It is horrifying.
	I've shown you the animation of it with the procedure.
	based on the animated what this ultrasound technician saw with one of these types of abortions.
	In March of 2022, a horrific discovery was made when a medical waste bin was obtained outside of a Washington, D.C. abortion business. In that bin were the remains of 110 aborted babies, most of them first trimester age. But there were also bodies of five aborted children who appeared to have been old enough to survive outside of the womb, raising questions about potential legal
	and serious ethical violations by that abortion facility.
	But the major media outlets remained silent. And of course, they came after the people who blew the whistle.
	One of them is running for Congress.
	I'm a secular progressive activist.
	Last year I recovered the remains of these five babies from an all-term abortion center in Washington, D.C. These are the faces of a genocide supported by Joe Biden and my own Democratic Party.
	We can provide for the working class and resist this extremism.
	I am challenging you to never vote for a pro-choice Democrat again.
	I'm Teresa Bokovinak, pro-life Democrat, running for President of the United States, and I approve this message.
	Well, two of the babies, named Holly and Angel, appear to have been killed by dismemberment DNA abortions.
	Why isn't everyone who opposed Cricket's shooting also against the dismemberment of Holly and Angel?
	Some in the media suggest that instead of killing the dog, Gnome should have given it to an animal rescue.
	We're called a breeder for help.
	Cricket was too young to understand, didn't deserve to die because she was so young, argued the aforementioned Joan Payton.
	In contrast, however, when pro-lifers suggest adoption as an alternative to abortion, abortion advocates argue that this would be too traumatic for the women, completely ignoring the trauma of abortion, and that the suggestion of adoption ignores her right to kill her unborn child.
	When Karen went to that abortion protest with Hannah, she was attacked for adoption.
	You don't need to kill your kids.
	Put them up for adoption. There'll be people who adopt the kids.
	You're nothing but a white savior.
	Again, the racism, the hatred.
	You're a white savior.
	Some in the media suggested that instead of killing the dog, Gnome should have given it to an animal rescue or called a breeder for help.
	But, you know, not abortion for actual human babies.
	So to recap, the dog's young age is a reason not to kill.
	But a baby's young age is a reason to kill.
	Shooting a dog is bad, but dismembering a baby is a woman's right.
	Reforming a dog is good.
	But adoption of a child is trauma.
	Seeking to help a difficult dog is commendable.
	But offering to help a woman to keep her baby?
	That's not only manipulation.
	That's a federal crime now.
	Both acts, killing Cricket and dismembering Holly and Angel by abortion, were legal in the states where they were carried out.
	But that doesn't make either of these acts moral.
	And that's the reality of this.
	Before we take a break, I want to get into what Thomas Massey said about...
	Well, actually, I think I will take a break and I'll talk about that when we get back.
	He was talking about a breakfast dinner that he and some other members of Congress had with Antonin Scalia a few years ago.
	And what they were talking about in terms of the proper response of Congress to keep government in line.
	And he contrasted it with what Speaker Johnson is doing.
	So we're going to talk about that when we come back, and we will be right back in just a moment.
	Music Welcome
	to my show. Making
	sense. Common again.
	You're listening to The David Knight Show.
	Congressman Thomas Massey.
	I call him my congressman because my congressman just voted for the Anti-Semitism Awareness Act.
	I'm adamantly opposed to.
	That double standard.
	Anyway, he said, I once had breakfast with Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia and about 18 other members of Congress.
	This is a Twitter thread that he had.
	He was invited to speak on the topic of, quote, restoring constitutional balance of government.
	There was a concern with those of us in Congress that Obama was doing things that we had not authorized.
	And then Speaker John Boehner had convinced most of my GOP colleagues that there wasn't anything that we could do about it.
	Scalia insisted and finished his breakfast and started by saying that being a referee between us and the executive branch was not his job.
	He said occasionally the constitutionality of the law becomes a question, but it's only as a side effect of the job.
	He said his job was to determine if somebody had been harmed.
	And if so, what was the remedy?
	He was adamant that his job was not to referee disagreements between the executive and the legislature.
	Because he was an originalist.
	Anyway, these other people think that is their job.
	He said, talking to the congressman, he said, yours is the most powerful branch, and the tools you need are right there in the Constitution.
	He said, one of my colleagues, a former representative from Arizona, complained to Scalia that impeachment was too wieldy, too impractical, too prone to political blowback.
	And Scalia said sternly, I'm not talking about impeachment.
	He said, you have the power of the purse.
	You fund everything you complain about.
	Quit funding it, and the president won't be able to do it.
	See, everything the government does is about the money.
	It's always about the money.
	And how is it that they are going to try to stop anti-Semitism on campus?
	Well, they're going to monitor it.
	And if they say that it is there, they're going to withdraw funds.
	But they don't want to withdraw funds for anything else.
	They don't want to withdraw funds if the campus is teaching critical race theory or DEI or any of this other stuff, any of this other Marxist stuff, or threatening and intimidating people with LGBT stuff.
	No, they don't care about any of that stuff.
	But the way that they always enforce this is with the money.
	That was why the Department of Education was set up.
	To first bribe schools to do what they wanted, and then to threaten to pull back that bribery money and to blackmail them.
	This is why all of these people get so angry with me when I say Trump did it.
	He did it because he funded it.
	And that's what Scalia was telling Congress.
	He said, you have the purse strings.
	You can fund this stuff or not do it.
	Now, Trump funded it that the purpose of his executive order was to release the money, to get them to do what he wanted them to do.
	And if they didn't do it, he could pull it back.
	And that's exactly the way that Biden did it.
	Biden said, if you're a private business and you don't vaccinate your employees, if you've got government contracts, those contracts are gone.
	And he said to the hospitals, well, Trump bribed them all through 2020, gave them bonuses, a 20% bonus.
	If they identified somebody as a COVID patient, didn't even have to have a PCR test at the beginning, just point to them, they're a COVID patient.
	Well, they get a 20% bonus.
	They get a cash payment of $13,000 and then a 20% bonus on everything they did to that patient while they were in the hospital, until they killed them, that type of thing.
	If they put them on a ventilator, $39,000 cash bonus.
	And then of course a 20% bonus on charging them to use a ventilator until you kill them.
	So that's the way the government works.
	The pandemic emergency order was done by Alex Azar, the pharma CEO of Eli Lilly, that Trump put into that position.
	That was done at the end of January.
	But Trump released the money.
	His executive order was the same as the kind of executive order that goes out when a hurricane goes through Florida.
	And they declared a state emergency that releases state funds.
	They declared a federal emergency that releases federal funds.
	So it's all about the money.
	It's always about that.
	It's always about the bribery, the blackmail.
	It's always the money is the mandate.
	And that's always been the purpose of the Department of Education from the very beginning.
	You know, bribe them to do what you want, blackmail them, say we're going to take the money away if you don't put the boys in the girls' bathroom.
	This is the way the government always operates, and this is what Scalia said.
	He said, you are the most powerful because you have the purse strings.
	If you don't like how this is done, you don't fund it.
	So I guess we could infer from that that Mike Johnson doesn't like anything being done at the border since he didn't put a single penny into it, right?
	We could infer that Mike Johnson loves these wars.
	He called himself a wartime speaker.
	And he spent $100 billion to keep these wars going.
	So Scalia said to these congressmen, quit funding it and the president won't be able to do it.
	Well, that kind of depends on who the speaker is, isn't it?
	Thomas Massey says, I'm relating this story to you now because we find ourselves in the same situation today.
	My colleagues, misled by our speaker, tell you that we are powerless against Biden.
	They say we must win the White House or we must pray for the Supreme Court to save us.
	This is not true, he says.
	What we need is a new speaker who is willing to use our majority to wield the power of the purse for the benefit of America.
	Not for the benefit, I'll add, of the military-industrial complex or the intelligence community, which is what he has done.
	In just a few months, this speaker has worked to give the executive more authority and more money than even Pelosi granted.
	Vacate this uniparty speaker.
	Massey is 100% right.
	And so, Mike Johnson, on the other hand, he was attending a party with...
	Big donors and Alex Karp, who wants to drone his competitors in Silicon Valley.
	And he is telling donors on Sunday night in D.C. that the House GOP needs to consider rule changes next to Congress to ensure that a majority of the GOP gets its way.
	But that's not what he did. He went against the majority.
	As a matter of fact, somebody pointed out a Hastert rule.
	Hastert was the longest-serving Speaker of the House.
	Now, some of that had to do with the fact that he was a pedophile and that he was blackmailable.
	But he also would not go against the majority of his own party.
	Which is one of the first acts that Mike Johnson did.
	He went against the majority of his own party.
	And these betrayals that happened on that Saturday Night Massacre, where he funded the wars, where he extended FISA, all the rest of the stuff, and wouldn't spend a penny on the border, he went against the majority of his party.
	He violated the Hester rule.
	But what he is telling these uni-party donors, the big donors, at this insider meeting on Sunday night as reported by Axios, that he's going to change the rules to get more power into the Speaker's office. Because Kevin McCarthy, in order to you know, get the Speaker gavel, he surrendered some of the power that was there. People said, look, we don't like the
	complete centralized control of which bills are going to go out, and the shutting down of any debate, the inability to vote on separate issues.
	You put everything together in a gigantic bill.
	You drop this thing that is one or two thousand pages long and you give us 48 hours to look at it.
	That's what Speaker Johnson is doing.
	He knows how the game is played from the inside to control everything himself.
	That's what Pelosi did.
	That's what Johnson wants to do.
	He is a traitor to the democratic process.
	And with somebody like Johnson in, it really doesn't matter if you've got Republicans because he's going to be the sole determiner of what's going on.
	He'll rule as a petty dictator.
	And so he says that he wants to...
	He's going to have a house power play in 2025.
	He's going to fix...
	What he says is the crippled House Rules Committee.
	Again, by making this more centrally controlled.
	To protect the speakership by not letting a motion to vacate be called by a single member.
	And then between the lines, says Axios, conservatives are furious about any talk of changes to the rules.
	That's why it took so long to get Kevin McCarthy in.
	It was because he was fighting against these rules, and you had a broad spectrum of Republicans who said, we've got to change the way this place is working.
	We don't want it to be a dictatorship of the Speaker.
	That's what Johnson wants.
	He wants to go back to the Pelosi House.
	A majority of the House GOP voted against Ukraine aid last month, but it passed anyway thanks to Democrats.
	That is a violation of what they called the Hastert Rule.
	Mike Johnson plots revenge.
	I think I'll just start calling him Machiavellian Mike.
	He's very clever, which makes him extremely dangerous because he is a turncoat.
	He is a fifth column.
	So he's plotting revenge and retaliation against Republicans who vote against the Democrat agenda.
	That's the headline from Breitbart, and they're right.
	Speaker Mike Johnson supports retaliating against Republicans who oppose him.
	He recently told high-dollar donors at the Swanky Four Seasons in Washington.
	Yeah, he goes there. He talks about, I'm going to consolidate all control.
	This is how he gets $20 million in one quarter.
	I'm the guy you need to pay if you want to get anything.
	And, of course, the best return on investment is a congressman, especially a speaker like that.
	Give you whatever you pay for it.
	You give him $1,000, you get a million dollars back.
	I mean, it is like a cash machine.
	An automated teller.
	On Rumble, I'm Marty.
	Thank you very much, Marty, for the tip.
	I appreciate that. He said, no rant, just some support.
	Well, thank you very much. I appreciate that.
	Speaker Mike Johnson is talking about kicking Republican members off the committees if we vote against his rules and bills, said Marjorie Taylor Greene.
	This comes after he's serving Chuck Schumer and Biden's every single wish and passing major bills with Democrats and not the majority of Republicans.
	She's absolutely right about this.
	It is not us who is out of line.
	It is our Republican elected speaker, she said.
	So Chip Roy, Ralph Norman, Thomas Massey, Marjorie Taylor's Green vote is likely to be tabled by Johnson with Jeffries, the Democrat leader, who would be the speaker if they had the majority.
	With Jeffries and Democrat leaders vowing to save Johnson once a motion is on the table.
	If Green persists by forcing a vote a second time or more, all bets are off.
	We'll see what happens.
	Democrats are grudgingly saving another, as they refer to it, BS, Mike Johnson bill.
	But, of course, you would expect them to do that because they are pure Bolshevik.
	Democrats found themselves in an increasingly familiar position on Wednesday, bailing out Speaker Mike Johnson.
	Over and over and over again.
	We're going to take a quick break.
	We'll be right back.
	Unlike most revolutions, where the people rise against a real economic oppression, in our case here in Boston, we are fighting for purely an abstract principle.
	It is, however, not nearly so abstract as a young gentleman supposes.
	The issue involved here is one of monopoly.
	Hey!
	Today, the British government will monopolize the sale of tea in our country.
	Tomorrow it will be something else.
	Oh, yeah!
	Emmit the Frogショット Фра, Souji Okamoto Donna, Naruhoro Maki, 14040203, Emergency JumperをU EJT suggested CO.
	Krypul, 1990, 1993, 1993, Liberty, it's your move.
	You're listening to The David Knight Show.
	Well, I want to thank this family who sent us a donation in this note.
	I'm sorry this has taken me so long.
	I cannot thank you enough for being my voice in the wilderness.
	Well, thank you very much. I appreciate that.
	And the husband and wife mentioned all the children's names and their ages.
	So I'll mention the children's names and ages.
	Roland 9, Evelyn 6, Everett 3, and...
	This one here is...
	I can't make it out.
	Rhonda C. I'm sorry if I got that right.
	I shouldn't even guess that name.
	But thank you so much. I appreciate that.
	Like I said before, people who have sent us things this time, we had 17 people send us some contributions and 12 of them were new.
	And I want to thank also the listener who did not put a name from New York, New York.
	So I appreciate that very much.
	Thank you. Let's talk a little bit about the implications of what is happening to free speech and the free exercise of religion.
	I talked about that yesterday in terms of the Anti-Semitism Awareness Act.
	You had some Christians who said, well, you know, even though it says that you can't say the Jews killed Jesus, Or, blood libel.
	And so those are two different things, right?
	And what does it mean?
	We know what it means when you say and.
	That means that both of these things have to be present.
	If you say or, that means one or the other is present.
	And so one of them is blood libel.
	The other one was just to say that Jews killed Jesus, which as Ben Shapiro pointed out, he says, I don't believe that.
	It's not my religion, but he said that's what the New Testament says.
	So you're stomping on somebody's religion here.
	And he's right about that.
	Absolutely is. And Mike Johnson is fine about that, isn't he?
	And if you don't think this is coming for us, this is out of South Wales in the UK. A man, I'm sorry, South Wales.
	That might be, that's Australia.
	South Wales. It's uppercase.
	Find $3,000 for displaying a Bible verse.
	We have a former elected representative of their parliament as well as a several term member of a cabinet being prosecuted over and over again.
	And now she will stand before the Supreme Court in Finland for Bible verses that she put in disagreement with a policy that her Church was doing to support LGBT. And she said, well, what you're supporting here is called a sin in the Bible.
	Here's where it says it's a sin in the Bible.
	And for that, they want to put her in jail.
	They want to set that up as a precedent.
	These things matter. And so here's this guy in South Wales.
	February of 2023, he was arrested for holding a sign within a designated safe zone for an abortion facility.
	If you can't handle free speech, folks, you're doing something wrong.
	As I said yesterday, speech is never a crime.
	Censorship is always a crime.
	And, you know, I'll add to the fact that it frequently is there to cover up another crime.
	So, he's now been sentenced to a 12-month conditional discharge and fined about $3,000.
	The conditional discharge means that if he commits another crime, he can be sentenced for the first offense and for the new one.
	What did his sign do?
	He quoted Psalms 139.
	13. You created me in my inmost being.
	You knit me together in my mother's womb.
	He's standing there holding that sign. And for that, a jail sentence and $3,000 fine.
	He says, I see this prosecution as an attack on the Bible and free speech.
	I am determined to defend myself and to fight for justice.
	He's a 72-year-old pastor.
	He's the national director of the Christian Voice UK. So it is in the UK. I think it's New South Wales in Australia.
	I'm an American. Give me a break.
	I don't know anything about geography.
	He claims his intent...
	Don't write me letters.
	Just understand. I'm ignorant about...
	Unless we have a war.
	Unless we have a war with Australia and with England, these are just vast, dark areas that are hard for me to find on the globe.
	Total darkness. Anyway...
	He said his intent was to protest the buffer zone specifically.
	Here we call it a FACE Act.
	Don't get too close or we're going to send you to jail.
	And, you know, Biden is going to his Justice Department, so-called Justice Department.
	He's going to send many elderly people to life in prison for trying to talk to people in not a confrontational way, not a violent way, no pushing, no shoving.
	Just trying to persuade them, saying, you know, we'll get your baby adopted, or whatever they say to them.
	Oh, no, you can't do that. And one woman, in her 80s, immigrated to this country because she was put in a concentration camp.
	People there were being killed.
	She said, I'm not going to...
	If somebody would have stopped those trains on the way to the concentration camp, that could have started things.
	But she said, I'm going to put myself in that position here.
	Anyway, the buffer zone in front of the Reproductive Choices Facility prevents sidewalk counselors and others from praying and peacefully protesting from reaching or having any contact with the people who are entering it.
	The Anti-Social Behavior Crime and Policing Act of 2014 outlines that its goal is to prevent prayer.
	And protest in regard to the abortions done at the facility.
	According to District Judge Catherine Vergas Green, quote, pointedly and intentionally left the words, quote, in my mother's womb in the Bible verse to openly protest the facility and to make clients uncomfortable as they enter and exit.
	You see, the thing is, that's what it says.
	And it doesn't make any sense.
	If you take that out. In other words, what the purpose of that verse from Psalm 139 is saying is that you created my inmost being.
	You knew me. You knit me together before I was even born.
	You were involved in creating my life before I was born.
	It goes on to say, you know, all the days of my life were written in your book.
	So God created us.
	God had a purpose for us.
	God was intimately involved with that.
	And yes, in the mother's womb.
	But this judge, this female judge, says, you intentionally left that mother's womb thing in there to criticize this facility and to make people feel uncomfortable.
	Maybe that's the way they take it.
	You know, it's kind of interesting, isn't it?
	Some people look at a Bible verse.
	Where can I go?
	To escape from your presence or whatever.
	Some people say, yeah, I wish there's some place I could go to escape from God's presence.
	Other people would find that, though, as a comforting thing.
	No matter where I go, God is there.
	That's the way it was written.
	And so, it kind of depends on your perspective, doesn't it?
	God's presence, God's existence...
	Can either be seen by a person as a threat to them if they are at war with God, or a comfort to them if they're at peace?
	Well, we kind of know what this district judge is, unfortunately.
	And I say that unfortunately.
	I mean, you know, we pull back and we look at this stuff and we just shake our head and sometimes you just have to laugh about it.
	But, you know, I saw recently, and I'd seen it a long time ago, Trump, I think is when he was running the first time.
	He had at least two occasions where he was confronted with somebody.
	You know, because he's making all these claims, you know, vote for me, I'm a Christian, and all this other kind of stuff.
	Oh, I love this book.
	My second favorite book is the one that I wrote.
	Yeah, right. I love this book that I've never read, that I never obey, and all this kind of stuff.
	And so he had, on two different occasions, A person pinned him down, and in each case, he changed the subject, and they had to come back and ask him a second time.
	And what they asked him was, have you asked God for forgiveness?
	Because that's the essence of Christianity.
	Yes, grace is free, but you have to ask for it.
	Those who don't realize that they need a physician, Are the ones that the physician is not going to treat.
	And in every case, you say, well, that's not the way I look at it.
	You know, I just do. And when I saw it this time, I got to say, honestly, I have never felt sorry for Donald Trump in my life.
	And you know that if you listen to this program, you know that I don't feel sorry for him at all.
	But I really felt sorry for him.
	Because I looked at him, and he was like a toddler who had got caught with his hand in the cookie jar, but still couldn't admit that he had eaten the cookies even though the chocolate is all over his face.
	And I felt sorry for him because he's going to stand before God.
	You know, I don't want to see Donald Trump go to hell.
	I want to see him go to Mar-a-Lago and stay there and stay out of the Oval Office is what I want to see.
	I don't want to see him go to hell.
	That's where he's headed. And I really felt sorry for him because I thought he was pitiful.
	He was pitiful for the first time ever.
	Anyway, she said, the judge said, this is an expression of disapproval.
	And this order does not allow disapproval of abortion.
	His lawyer, Robert Smith, stated that Articles 9, 10, and 11 of the European Convention on Human Rights can all be used in Green's defense.
	Article 9 is about freedom of belief.
	Article 10 is freedom of expression.
	Article 11 is freedom of assembly.
	You see, whether it's the United States with our Bill of Rights, or whether it's the UK with our Articles 9, 10, and 11, or I should say the European Convention, rather, of Articles 9, 10, and 11, or whether it's the Chinese Communist government, Pretty much every government on Earth has wonderful bills about human rights.
	Whether it's the EU or the American government, we've all got these wonderful bills that support, in theory, our human rights.
	But in reality, they don't, do they?
	I mean, we just had the Republicans throughout free speech, the free exercise of religion.
	And so...
	You know, when you look at whether it's abortion or whether it's anti-Semitism or whether it's something else, they're always coming after our speech.
	They're always coming after our religion because it's our religion that they hate.
	It's our religion that they want to abort.
	It's our speech that they hate, our speech that they want to abort as well.
	But, you know, we need to take the attitude that Martin Luther had when they brought him before a diet of worms.
	I was joking the other day about this pill that I'm taking, which is an extract from It was Chinese medicine, and they were giving these people these ground earthworms of a particular type, and it seemed to be very effective.
	And so they had some people from the West go there and try to actively identify what it was that was having that effect so that people didn't have, you know, you could leave the worm and just take that one thing and get it in a pill.
	I don't know how much of it's worm and how much of it is.
	Hopefully they identified the right thing.
	I don't know. But I was joking about being on a diet of worms.
	That's the way they pronounce it in German.
	But it actually put as a diet of worms, but they pronounce the W's of E. But, you know, when he stood before them, and he knew what the punishment could possibly be, death, he said, here I stand.
	God help me. I can do no other, right?
	And we have to have that understanding that whatever the consequences, or we leave the consequences to God.
	I talked about it many times during the lockdown and during the church shutdowns.
	I said our attitude ought to be that of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego.
	When they were told they had to bow down and worship this idol that Nebuchadnezzar put up, they said, well, we're going to throw you in the fiery furnace.
	We're going to burn you to death.
	I said, well, God can rescue us from that, but if he doesn't, we're still not going to bow down.
	And we can do that as Christians because we understand this life is not all that there is.
	Just saw Warren Buffett addressing his people and his stockholders.
	He said, yeah, we've had a really good year, made a lot of money, we're going to do this and that.
	And he goes, but you know, you need to start thinking about what it's going to be like after I'm gone.
	He says, I'm feeling really good.
	I don't have any problems.
	He's 93 years old.
	He says, I'm feeling really good.
	I don't have any problems. But he goes, I do know the actuarial tables.
	He made his money in the insurance business initially, I guess.
	So he goes, I know where the actuarial tables are.
	You need to think about that. But does he really?
	You know, we all have that awareness.
	Yes, of course, I know we all are going to die.
	There's a time limit on our life and everything, but do we really internalize that?
	Do we really believe it? Do we really act as if that was true?
	Just like you have many Christians, do you really believe what you say about Christ?
	You've got an assent to it, to the truth of it, but does it really affect you individually?
	Well, it was kind of interesting.
	On Sunday, we had something else that happened.
	This was a church in Pennsylvania, North Braddock, Pennsylvania.
	And I'll let you see what happens as the preacher is speaking.
	A guy with a gun comes in, and this is what happened.
	...the kingdom. You were enemies of God.
	You were in a whole different kingdom than God.
	And God had chosen.
	He pulls up a gun. He points at him.
	The pastor ducks behind him. Now this guy...
	This is...
	That guy in the white shirt is a deacon.
	And he just... He comes running from the back and tackles this guy from the back as he's going to seek the pastor out and shoot him.
	And the pastor gets down there and he goes, I got it.
	He's going to get the gun under control.
	Then he takes over from this kind of a tag team thing.
	I saw that. I thought that was really fun.
	Back when I was in... Junior high school.
	For one, maybe two years, I kept up with what was going on in professional football because the NFL had a really well done NFL film.
	They shot it on 35 millimeter film or whatever, you know, movie style film.
	Shallow depth of field, they would slow it down, and they would encapsulate each one of the games each week, give you an idea of how the ebb and flow had gone back and forth, and so you could get a big picture of what was going on with the season.
	You know, of course they do that now, but they're doing it 24-7 on ESPN or whatever.
	I don't have the time for that. But that year, you know, I started watching.
	There was a guy, I think he was with the L.A. Rams, and he's called Deacon Jones.
	That's like watching Deacon Jones in action.
	He runs up and takes that guy from the back, and the pastor runs over and takes the gun away from him.
	He says, I got it. It turns out that the handgun jammed.
	Isn't that interesting? Just like we had that pastor, unfortunately, or bishop, you know, in Australia, who was stabbed.
	But, you know, he lost an eye.
	But he could have lost his life, except that the attacker couldn't get his knife open.
	And then when he did get it open, he was wrestling with it, and he cut off one of his own fingers.
	Here you have a guy who comes there, and he tries to take a shot at this pastor, and the gun jammed.
	At a critical time. So, yeah, we see things like that happen every once in a while.
	I remember Andrew Jackson, when he was coming after the Central Bank, there was a guy who showed up to shoot him, and he shot, and the gun didn't go off, and he pulled the trigger again, and nothing happened.
	And Andrew Jackson then, this pastor, beat the guy that had to pull off this elderly Andrew Jackson.
	I don't know if that's where you got to name old Hickory.
	But the most interesting thing about that story is not the fact that it failed to fire twice, but they put it in a museum.
	And, you know, more than a century and a half later, somebody pulled it out of the museum and said, let's see what's the matter with this gun, if it'll work.
	They pulled the trigger and it fired the first time.
	I guess it just needed to rust a little bit, you know?
	You would think that it would be even more likely to have failed a century and a half later.
	This guy was just dealing with spirits, said the pastor.
	And he came in and he wanted to shoot somebody.
	He said there were voices in his head.
	Oh, maybe he's one of these two-spirit people, right, that they're worshiping now with the LGBT. In a gruesome twist, police say that after they arrested this guy, whose name, interestingly enough, was Polite.
	Not a polite thing to do to go into a church.
	He doesn't even know this pastor, but he's got voices in his head telling Mr.
	Polite to go in and take a shot at him.
	They discovered a man who had been shot to death inside his home on Sunday night, so he killed a relative.
	And then the voices in his head told him to go to kill this pastor.
	Now, kind of along those same lines, we look at what is happening to our society.
	The feminists are having a heyday, aren't they?
	And one of the things that is happening on social media is they've got this meme, this debate, some videos where they go around and they ask women, would you rather, if you were lost in the woods, would you rather come across a man or a bear?
	And it shows just how they have cultivated this hatred.
	They've cultivated hatred between white and black and black and white, and they've cultivated hatred between male and female and so forth in many ways, especially on the female side.
	And so the man versus bear narrative, a bizarre thought experiment in which random women are asked if they were lost in the woods, would they rather run into a man or a bear?
	And is the bed too large, too small, or just right?
	The question has created considerable controversy across social media with a majority of women apparently choosing the bear over a man.
	And that's, I guess, really unfortunately not a surprise in the society we live in.
	The reality that women encounter men daily while most of them have never, ever seen a real bear in the wild in their entire lives.
	That's part of what's going on in our society.
	People who have lived these sheltered, propagandized lives...
	In college campuses, and the fact that you've got people go K-12, then go to college, then come back out and become a teacher K-12.
	They never get into the real world.
	If they did run into a bearer, all of them would be screaming for help from the nearest man available to protect them, says this writer.
	It's perhaps the dumbest feminist mind game so far in respect of the fact that life is not a Disney movie, Well, you know, as the joke goes, you don't have to be the fastest person.
	You just have to be faster than the slowest person to escape the bear.
	But anyway, with a bear, there's no chance.
	But this hasn't stopped feminists from pretending as if the pro-bear response represents some kind of revelation about men and masculinity.
	The issue has also revealed, once again, that math is the kryptonite of woke activists and critical thinking is their enemy.
	Citing the predominance of men in crime stats, these feminists have tried to justify this.
	They argue that it is far more likely for a man to harm a woman than for a bear to harm a woman.
	Again, these are people who have never been in contact with a bear.
	It's kind of interesting.
	I've only seen one bear in the time that we have been here for two years.
	When I came up here as a child, everybody was feeding the bears.
	We've got super 8mm of bears coming up and my mom feeding them through cracks in the windows and everything.
	They were eating in the garbage cans.
	Now they've cracked all that stuff down.
	I have not seen a bear anywhere around here except in one particular instance.
	I saw it at a big distance and it was in Gallenburg in a busy area.
	It was away from the main road.
	But anyway, so I don't know.
	I've seen lots of men though. Lots of men around here.
	So there's that, you know, there's the statistical likelihood that you're going to run into a man more than you're going to run into a bear, even in the Smoky Mountain area here.
	Bear encounters are far more rare than encounters with men, and the percentage of men that commit violent crimes is tiny compared to the total male population in Western countries.
	By feminist logic, men are also actually safer with bears than with women.
	In 2021, 1,078 men were killed by women in the U.S. There have only been 180 fatal human-bear conflicts in North America since 1784.
	Again, this is about proximity.
	Well, golly, I'm going to just go get me a bear then.
	That's right. Bear Jamboree.
	Yeah, look for the bear necessities here.
	283,000 violent crimes committed by men in the U.S. out of 161 million men.
	That's about 0.1% of the male population.
	Oh, that's bad, though. Because remember, we had to lock down even though COVID was 0.1% of the population.
	Why do you have to lock down? Because there's too many men here until we get rid of them.
	Chances of a woman running into a violent man in the woods is a fantasy scenario that is negligible.
	Feelings are elevated over facts because most feminist narratives lean heavily on the fear dynamic.
	Well, why? It's because it's coming from the government.
	You know, the CIA was heavily involved in pushing feminism at the very beginning.
	This whole idea, you know, Virginia Slims and all the rest of the stuff, that, you know, you come a long way, baby, to get where you got to today, and the fact that men and women are equal, boy, that's really been shot to death by the...
	The training movement, hasn't it?
	They just had some guy who won the women's events and he would have come in dead last by a long shot margin if he'd run against the men.
	They tried to sell that to everybody.
	As I've talked about the tennis matches, how Bobby Riggs rigged that tennis match.
	His friends said he did.
	We now know he did.
	But who created that fear in women?
	Was it men? Was it feminist propaganda?
	The numbers suggest that feminism has rotted women's minds with fear.
	Well, again, that fear narrative is really coming from the government.
	By the way, as this was also happening, they just had up in Massachusetts a man who was in a car crash and killed.
	And as the police got there, a bear was dragging him out of the car.
	I guess he thought he had found some meat in the garbage can.
	This is a really big garbage can.
	This is a really big slab of meat, I guess.
	I'm sure he was just trying to help.
	Yeah, that's right. He was a friendly bear.
	He was trying to get him back to the appropriate size bed at his house there.
	Wildlife officials reminded residents that bears are coming out of hibernation and they are searching for food.
	Hence, the bear dragging the dead body out of the car.
	But when we look at what has happened to our society, I thought this was an interesting back and forth.
	You had Richard Dawkins, who made kind of an interesting statement, the regret of his attacks on Christianity.
	He said, I am a cultural Christian.
	He said, I still don't believe any of this stuff that they're saying.
	But he goes, I really do like the accoutrements of Christianity, you know, the fruit of it.
	What it gave to society, the culture, the civility, the rule of law, these other things.
	Richard Dawkins really likes that.
	And he says, you know, I've got to rethink this as he gets older.
	He says, I really do like all the Christmas stuff, you know.
	And I like the even song that they have.
	I like the architecture, the cathedrals and things like that.
	And look, you know, it's a safer country and all the rest of the stuff.
	And so there was a program in the U.K., And they had a woman who was a women's rights activist and feminist there, and a very, very strong, outspoken atheist.
	And they had Richard Dawkins.
	And the reason the two of them were there was because she had said not just that she is a cultural Christian like Dawkins, who likes all the fruit of Christianity but doesn't believe the core aspect of it.
	Kind of like Ben Shapiro when he says, when Joe Rogan asks him about His Hebrew Bible.
	He believes that God gave him the land, but he doesn't believe that God separated the Red Sea or River Jordan to give it to him.
	I don't need God.
	I just need the title for the land.
	That's all I need from you.
	Thanks a lot. And so that's kind of where Richard Dawkins is.
	This woman, though, her name is, if I'm pronouncing it correctly, Ayaan Hirsi Ali.
	She expressed regret for her previous critiques of Christianity.
	This was at a conference in New York.
	They called it Dissident Dialogues.
	Well, I guess any time we talk about religion in the future, now even Christian religion, we're going to be labeled as dissidents because our government is anti-Christian.
	Anyway, Ali, a former figurehead in the new atheism movement, openly recanted her past assertions that all religions, including Christianity, were equally damaging.
	During a lively discussion with evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins on Saturday, Ali elaborated on her transformation, revealing that her past belief that religions were uniformly destructive was misguided.
	And that's essentially the position of Christopher Hitchens, you know, and others like that.
	Oh, yeah, every religion is just horrible, you know.
	And there's been a lot of debates to shut that down, but that's been around for a while and she was a part of that.
	And again, I'm not reading this because she converted to Christianity.
	I think it's interesting what she has to say.
	And I'm not here to judge whether she's a Christian or not.
	And I'm also not doing this because we've got a celebrity who says, oh, I'm a Christian now.
	I've seen that a lot, and I know that people get really excited about that.
	If they've got somebody who is a soap opera actress or actor, and I say, I'm a Christian now, you see it all over these websites.
	It's like, I don't know if they are or not, but why is that so important?
	I understand that people think they know them, but they're actors.
	Even though you're watching them on a regular basis, they're not writing their lines even.
	Somebody else is writing the lines of their character.
	They're not at all like their character.
	I think of the program Parks and Recs, and that guy that was in Parks and Recs, he's a radical, radical leftist.
	But they put him in as a libertarian.
	And I never saw it.
	But when I was in Austin, before my family came, I was there for about a year before they came out.
	And when I was talking to them, they said, yeah, we watched this.
	This guy reminds me of you or something.
	He's not at all like me.
	And I understand who this actor is.
	He's a completely different person than he plays on TV. But...
	And so I don't typically get into celebrity conversions.
	I wish them well.
	I hope it's genuine for their own sake, but I can't evaluate that accurately one way or the other.
	Everybody's all about Russell Brand and this and that, but, you know, I mean...
	When he talks about what Christianity means to him, he's saying, well, you know, it's like this.
	He's collecting all these experiences like he did with drugs.
	Now he's into collecting spiritual experiences.
	And he says, well, you know, to me, it's like I get a chance to look at quantum mechanics as like You think Christianity is about quantum mechanics?
	I don't have any idea what he means about that.
	That's not my Christianity at all.
	I don't understand that.
	But anyway, getting back to this woman.
	She admitted to the unintended consequences of her advocacy, which included promoting skepticism over faith without offering a more viable moral alternative.
	I try not to be negative exclusively.
	We have to be negative about a lot of the bad stuff that's coming out.
	We have to talk about it, even if that means talking about people.
	We talk about what they're doing in the context of their job, which does affect us.
	And in most cases, when we're talking about politicians, we have a theoretical input, at the very least, into these people who have these jobs.
	We can do things to block them without even voting.
	You know, that's the most important things that we can do, or not the election.
	And certainly the federal election.
	So I try to get people not just to leave you in despair about the things that are coming, but even when we're talking about politics within politics, I want to give people a viable alternative to the elections, and that is to get involved locally.
	All politics is local.
	That is, you know, engrave that in stone and understand that that's where you can get the most done.
	The federal politics is a distraction to keep you from getting anything done locally.
	They know that the way that they're going to make these changes, these grand global changes that they've got, and we need to understand what those changes are so we can defeat them when they come to us locally.
	But they understand that all politics is local.
	And we need to understand that's where we're going to block them.
	We need to know what their plans are, but we're going to have to block them locally.
	So I don't want to leave people without a viable alternative, even in politics.
	But I certainly don't want to leave them without a viable alternative in life.
	And our viable alternative to making politics our life and making politics our hope is to making Christ our life and Christ our hope.
	That is an eternal alternative to this temporary life that we have here.
	Anyway, leaving a void in the cultural and moral framework that she now believes that Christianity beneficially fills.
	And so it was an interesting back and forth between her and Dawkins.
	She said,"...it's necessary for us to pass this on to the next generation, and we have failed the next generation by taking away from them that moral framework and telling them that it is nonsense, that it is false.
	We have also not protected them from the external forces that come for their hearts, their minds, and their souls." And so, again, this is not simply about giving us a moral framework, giving us a framework for society.
	You know, you can have all those things and go straight to hell and spend eternity there.
	But those are good things.
	They're not the primary thing, but they are good things, and they are the fruit of this, not the root of it.
	She explained, you're coming from a place of there's nothing if you're an atheist.
	And what has happened to me is, I think I've accepted that there is something.
	And when you accept that there is something, there is a powerful entity.
	For me, that's the God that turned me around.
	And she added, like you, I did mock faith in general, and probably Christianity in particular, but I don't do that anymore.
	I've come down to my knees to say that people who always had faith have something that we who lost faith don't have.
	Ali said she met a woman who told her, You've tried everything, and you've lost hope.
	You've lost faith.
	Just try it. Pray.
	She added that there was so much wisdom in that and what she was told.
	Hannah Long, an editor from Harper's Collins, wrote on X, she said, Last night she revealed what happened.
	A spiritual awakening after suicidal depression.
	Dawkins probed, highlighting what he called nonsense the vicar says, unquote, and Christianity being obsessed with sin.
	But Ali replied, I think what the vicar is saying is no longer nonsensical, and it makes a great deal of sense.
	And I think Christianity is actually obsessed with love.
	Isn't that interesting? Like I said before, you know, when we talk about the Psalms, you know, where can I go to escape from your presence?
	Everywhere I go, you're there. That's a comforting thing to people who love God, to people who are at war with him.
	It is a horrifying thing for them.
	For the person who is at war with God, as Richard Dawkins is, the Bible seems to be obsessed with sin.
	And yet for a person who is not at war with God, but at peace with God, they see that Christianity is actually obsessed with love.
	Ali's pivot from atheism to a declared Christian identity hasn't been without controversy, especially among her former peers in the new atheist community, which rose to prominence in the early 2000s for its critical stance on all religions.
	Her announcement last year underlined Christianity's role in preserving Western civilization, a viewpoint that initially drew skepticism from Dawkins.
	He challenged her newfound faith.
	He questioned the sincerity of her belief in Christian doctrine.
	See, that's the thing, huh? You know, you look at these celebrities, I'm now a Christian, it's like, are you really, or do you just, you know, you want...
	People see you as a Christian.
	You know, maybe it's because you're facing some charges or something like that or whatever.
	So people can be cynical about that.
	And he was very cynical about her being a Christian.
	He said, seriously, Ayan?
	You, a Christian?
	You are no more Christian than I am.
	He responded in an open letter, doubting her acceptance of fundamental Christian beliefs like the resurrection of Jesus.
	That's why he's got the sin problem.
	It's because he doesn't believe in the resurrection of Jesus.
	And so he says, I don't think you believe any of that stuff.
	You know, you're just a cultural Christian like I am.
	You like the cathedrals and you like the music or whatever.
	However, on Saturday, Dawkins said, well, I came here prepared to persuade you, Ayan, that you are not a Christian.
	He said, I think you are a Christian.
	And I think Christianity is nonsense.
	Dawkins, who recently said he identifies as a cultural Christian despite his criticisms of Christianity, discussed the potential for using Christian beliefs as a milder virus to counteract the more harmful ideologies present in other religious movements like Islam and things like that.
	So we could use Christianity, essentially, in his view, to inoculate us against Islam.
	One of the funniest things to me is that he sees there's something special about Christianity.
	There's something different and unique about it.
	And yet he just can't admit that it's supernatural.
	It's like, oh, it's just a good book.
	It's got some good ideas.
	That's what he does with everything.
	He can look as a scientist.
	He can look and see that there's unique things about all of us.
	You can see there's unique things about our DNA and he can look at the intelligent design behind the DNA but he absolutely categorically rejects an intelligence that would create that.
	That's like looking at a car and thinking that it was an accident in the junkyard, that it didn't have a designer, a builder, a creator.
	That's absurd.
	It's like thinking that, you know, the building that you're standing next to was a result of a tornado in a junkyard.
	That's the essence of what he believes.
	And he believes that because he does not want to come to terms with God.
	You know, he has convinced himself of that.
	On Rockfin, Michelle Obama, thank you for the tip.
	And he writes, Christ is the way.
	Yes, thank you.
	So as we look at that, you know, we do have a lot of people who are moving and always running from Christ or to Christ.
	You look at the United Methodist Conference, they have essentially rejected traditional beliefs.
	And the thing that is amazing about it to me is that as they have thrown out any definitions of sexuality, male versus male and female, completely embraced the transgender stuff and homosexual marriage.
	One of the cases that was featured, they had two people, a lesbian and a trans woman, in other words, a man, dressed as a woman, And they were the two quote-unquote pastors of this United Methodist Church.
	And I looked at this and I thought, this is a church that is obsessed with sexuality, as obsessed with it.
	It is the center, the essence of their life.
	They're as obsessed with this in a very perverse way, just like Sam Brinton is.
	And that was my big criticism of Sam Britton.
	It's like, well, okay, this guy, if he is that obsessed with all of his clothing and all the rest of this stuff all the time and his sexuality, is he really serious enough to be in charge of nuclear waste?
	And yet this is something that is even more serious when you look at what is happening with it.
	And we have this from the Washington Post.
	I cannot believe this headline.
	Is the Pope Catholic? Well, that's not even an open question anymore.
	Of course he's not. Not this Pope.
	How Pope Francis opened the Vatican to transgender sex workers.
	Folks, that's prostitutes.
	They got transgender prostitutes in the Vatican.
	I'm just reading the headline here.
	I'm not getting any further into this particular discussion.
	I'm really not interested.
	Not my problem.
	I don't have anything to do with this, Pope.
	Isn't that amazing to see where we are in this society?
	It's truly crazy. We're going to take a quick break, and we will be right back.
	Music You're
	listening to The David Knight Show.
	Well, welcome back. And I wanted to...
	I started talking about this the other day, but I got stopped.
	And I just want to go back and briefly revisit it.
	We talk about the penalties for people who try to save lives.
	You know, we talked about Kristi Noem and people's sympathy for puppies, which they ought to have.
	But when you look at their...
	Complete rejection of human babies and the complete disregard of that.
	And this is a pro-lifer who was brought in.
	I talked about the woman who's in the wheelchair who immigrated from another country.
	This is the person I was mentioning the other day.
	Kept in solitary confinement for 22 days with the lights on 24-7.
	And then brought into court in full shackles.
	Her hands were shackled.
	She was also shackled at the wrist.
	She was also shackled at the waist and shackled at the feet and brought into court that way.
	Like she's some, you know, dangerous cannibal killer or something.
	And the judge took exception to that.
	He was indignant.
	He said, take those shackles off to the U.S. Marshal.
	Who then removed the two wrist shackles, but left the other ones around her waist and around her feet.
	I guess this short elderly woman is going to somehow pick him up and throw him across the court and run out.
	It's absolutely crazy, but it is very vindictive.
	That is happening there. She said, her lawyer said, Because these are ways that they use to
	control people.
	As we talk about these celebrity converts and everything, Kanye West was not anybody that I really...
	His Sunday services, when he had them, they were obviously worship services designed around people who would worship him.
	And I said that at the time.
	And of course, I also mentioned briefly that he said, while I'm done, Jesus just isn't doing it for me anymore.
	He's just not delivering what I need.
	And he's going to start a porn company.
	And so it's kind of interesting because in that short period of time where he said he was trying to change his life back in 2019, he said that he had been addicted to pornography for 37 years.
	He said that it had shaped his entire life.
	He said, Playboy was my gateway into full-on porn addiction.
	He said, My dad had a Playboy left out at age five.
	It's affected almost every choice I've made for the rest of my life, from age five till now.
	Having to kick the habit, he said in 2019, five years ago.
	And it just presents itself in the open, like it's okay.
	And I stand up and say, No, it's not okay.
	Well, that was him five years ago, and now he has returned to the vomit, and he's going to actually be producing it himself.
	He said it harmed him, but now he's going to produce it for other people.
	He said this addiction since I was five years old destroyed my mom and dad's family, destroyed my family.
	And this person who's talking about it said, well, I wrote about his comments at the time, I revisit them, sadly, because West and his followers need to be reminded of them.
	A man who admitted that pornography destroyed his life and drove many of his most self-destructive decisions appears to have completely given up the fight against this soul-sucking vice.
	And he's now plunging headlong into the industry that dominated his mind since he was a small boy.
	He may well launch his new porn company around the fifth anniversary of his album, Jesus is King.
	There we go. People like to use that one way or the other, don't they?
	He knew once that when porn is king, we are slaves.
	Even if you're a billionaire, he told us that.
	And he should remember that.
	But yeah, he is a, as he's always said, a slave to sin.
	Disney World has, we've shown you the Cinderella's Castle where little girls would go to get made up and there was a guy in a woman's costume.
	He had a mustache, you know, pretending that he was a woman or whatever.
	Well, it got even worse with that.
	I don't have this clip in here because I had this article last week.
	But it's actually... A guy in drag.
	There it is right there. You can play it.
	Look at that. That's a guy. That's a guy.
	And you can hear it when he speaks.
	You look at it, you don't really get it.
	But when he speaks, he's got this low voice.
	It's a guy there to engage with the kids there from Disney as the evil queen.
	Well, maybe there's some truth in that.
	Maybe he is an evil queen.
	I don't know. And he's there engaging with kids, oil and drag like that.
	But absolutely has a man's voice.
	A person said, when I asked the performer, when I asked if the performer was a biological male, the manager said, I'm sorry, I can't answer that.
	Oh, first she said, is that a woman?
	Oh, I can assure you that she is a woman.
	And I said, a biological woman or a biological male?
	Oh, I'm sorry, sir.
	I can't answer that.
	Well, you know, it is interesting because the other one was in Anaheim, and this one I think was in Orlando, but it seems to be a common thread.
	I mentioned before, George Santos is now...
	Selling cameo videos of himself as a drag queen.
	He said that when he was outed of doing that, when he was running as a Republican for Congress, he denied it when AP said that.
	But now he's no longer the lying king.
	He's now the lying queen, I guess.
	He's still got federal indictment on 23 counts of wire fraud, identity theft, and other campaign finance charges.
	It was kicked out of the house last year.
	See, the problem is, you know, you can lie about everything on your resume.
	You can lie about meeting Kim Jong-un and all the rest of this stuff.
	But if you start lying about your financial disclosures, that gets to be a big hit on people.
	But nevertheless, Trump and company are pushing very hard to try to get the LGBT vote.
	They're willing to do anything possible.
	Bill Maher, I've gotten the habit of saying Maher, And somebody corrected me, because I see the clips from him, but usually they're not introducing him by name, and so I apologize.
	I don't watch many of these programs.
	But he had a couple of interesting things to say about drag queens.
	Here's Bill Maher.
	Maybe it's time to admit that sometimes drag queen story hour is more for the queen than the kids.
	Sure, kids love a clown, but does the clown have to have tits?
	And when I see a five-year-old...
	Well, okay. We'll miss that.
	We'll put that clip in there, I guess.
	So maybe we won't go with what Bill Maher has to say about DeSantis being right either.
	You never know what's going to come out of Bill Maher's mouth.
	We should have caught that.
	I apologize. I know we have a lot of kids who listen.
	An appeals court says that West Virginia and North Carolina cannot bar medical coverage for elective trans surgeries.
	So, you know, you don't have any rights at all at the state level.
	I guess, evidently, this appeals court has never seen this thing we call the Tenth Amendment.
	Since when? This is the Fourth Circuit Court.
	Since when? Did these kinds of powers get specifically allocated to the federal government to tell us what can and cannot be done in terms of the so-called trans surgeries, the mutilation?
	The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit, in an 8-6 decision, upheld lower court ruling on the case.
	So we got courts wrong at all levels.
	The issue is the North Carolina law, which...
	Prohibits any insurance coverage for elective procedures that would be mutilating operations, such as castration or double mastectomies, and also a West Virginia law that allowed coverage for puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones, but not for surgery.
	And we see this constantly coming up, especially when you're talking about minors here.
	But even when you're talking about adults, Chris Beck, who was celebrated by Michael Flynn when Michael Flynn was head of the Defense Intelligence Agency, and he was there at the Pentagon, and he was on their second Pride Month in 2014.
	He was holding out this former Navy SEAL, Chris Beck, who had now become Kristen Beck.
	And I think he had mutilating surgery.
	And he has now said, this whole thing was horrible.
	I was pushed into it. These people wanted me to do this.
	And he said, even though I was an adult, that peer pressure and these other things, that, you know, trapped me in that.
	And so he says, well, why are we doing this with kids?
	If they can get adults to do this kind of stuff with that kind of pressure.
	Why would we let them do this to kids?
	When the purpose is to align a patient's gender presentation with a gender identity that doesn't match their sex assigned at birth, the surgery is not covered.
	This is textbook sex discrimination, said the court.
	No, what this is is a new level of degeneracy.
	It is a denial of the letter of the law by these courts.
	They are pushing their social agenda.
	And they have absolutely no legal basis for it.
	But that's not the first time we've seen courts do this type of thing.
	Circuit Judge Julius Richardson authored one of the three dissents and argued that the Equal Protection Clause does not license judges to strike down any policy that we disagree with.
	And yet they do.
	So, you know, just like they have the physician-assisted suicide pushed on minors in some jurisdictions as well.
	West Virginia Attorney General denounced the Fourth Circuit's opinion, vowed to appeal the decision to the Supreme Court.
	Decisions like this one from a court dominated by Obama and Biden appointees cannot stand.
	We will take this to the Supreme Court and we will win, he said.
	Michelle Obama said, thank you for the tip, and writes, Vivek Ramaswamy and Sam Britton put them together on a ticket.
	Well, there we go. Politics does make strange bedfellows, doesn't it?
	We'll have to see. What happens with this?
	Anon Rockfin, EcoTaxi.
	Thank you very much for the tip.
	I really do appreciate that.
	And let me just say, before we leave, again, it was Paul who sent us a thanks and said, I hope this helps to buy more chickens.
	I'll just tell you, Paul, we got...
	Some cinnamon chickens.
	They seem to be unbelievably calm and chill.
	And they're supposed to do 300 eggs a year.
	We'll see what happens with that.
	And thank you, Woody, who says, I've got to tell you, my family hates me every time I quote you.
	I've got some family members like that as well.
	Every time I quote you on Don the Con.
	But that's okay. The truth hurts, he says.
	Thank you so much. I appreciate it.
	All of you have a good day. This is extremely dangerous to our democracy.
