	Using free speech to free minds.
	You're listening to The David Knight Show.
	As the clock strikes 13, it's Tuesday, the 9th of July.
	Dear Lord, 2024.
	you Well, today we're going to take a look at some movements in terms of driverless cars, in terms of the power requirements for artificial intelligence.
	And they're already admitting what I said from the very beginning.
	They're going to build their own power sources while they cut us off of the grid.
	This is where this is headed.
	We're also going to take a look at chemtrails and at climate change.
	Why the chemtrails are real and the climate change isn't.
	How about that? Chemtrails are real.
	Climate change is a fantasy.
	But we're going to begin with the news.
	We'll be right back, stay with us.
	I'm going to be right back.
	Well, I want to begin today.
	before we get into the current event type of news, where we look at how they're driving us mad.
	Not crazy, but angry mad.
	I want to take a look at an interesting op-ed piece from Jim Quinn at The Burning Platform.
	And in it, he recounted how he was, he understands what's going on, especially the fourth turning.
	He mentions that several times.
	He understands the times in which we live, the forces that are accumulating and escalating.
	But in it, he was talking about friends of his that he hadn't seen for a while, catching up with them as to what's happened the last few years, and how, first of all, they didn't understand it.
	Secondly, when they explained it to him, they really didn't care.
	Really didn't care. That's kind of where we find ourselves today.
	They didn't care because it had not really affected them yet.
	Yet. Or maybe they didn't realize, in the case of one of them, how it did affect them already.
	And he was too kind to point that out.
	But he said, I've been writing articles for the better part of the last 16 years warning about government debt, the government surveillance state, the military-industrial complex, the Fed, the regime media propaganda machine, the Wall Street cabal, all of these coinciding with the onset and the progression of this current forth-turning crisis.
	He said, I typically keep my views to myself when I'm around other people.
	If they want to see what I have to say, he said they can go to my website.
	I kind of do the same thing.
	Like I mentioned, an encounter that I had with somebody that worked in the press this last weekend.
	It was a social function.
	I really didn't want to get into it.
	And I really don't like to talk about it.
	It's just not enough time to come in cold and talk to people about it.
	But he had a situation where he got together with some people I hadn't seen for quite a while.
	And after he'd had a few drinks, that's one of the reasons I don't drink, he began to want to engage them in conversation and to tell them what he thought.
	So he said, one person wanted to talk politics, markets, and economy.
	She did. So he said, these are subject areas where I normally just listen and keep my views to myself, but after I'd had several drinks, I let my guard down.
	So I proceeded to school her about the coming financial crash, the great taking, how the U.S. initiated the conflict in Ukraine, how it didn't matter who got elected because shadowy globalist billionaires continued to pull the strings.
	Her reply was that I was saying the same things 10 years ago.
	And yet, her stock portfolio is now at an all-time high.
	Well, I can really identify with him.
	Can you? You probably can as well.
	She said, all my facts are correct.
	Yeah, the national debt is at $35 trillion.
	Interest on the debt is accumulating at $1 trillion per 100 days and so forth.
	Financial disaster should be close at hand, but to her, nothing else mattered than the fact that nothing bad had happened so far to her.
	So why should she worry about any of this stuff?
	Oh, this is really familiar territory.
	Then I turned to the COVID scandemic.
	He said, the national shutdown, the vaccine, the coming bird flu hoax, and how much I despise my government.
	This is where I may have gotten a little too vehement in my discussion as others in the group seem concerned I might be having a heart attack.
	I'm going to meet him someday.
	It's like we're like twins separate at birth or something.
	She was vaxxed and boosted.
	She believed everything the government told her.
	Masks, social distancing, etc.
	She was appreciative of the government's PPP money.
	Which had kept her restaurant from going bankrupt.
	And she thought Fauci was a hero.
	Be still my heart.
	I loudly declared Fauci to be a mass murderer.
	He should die for his crimes.
	I told her the vaccine had killed and injured far more people than it ever saved.
	Shutting down the country over a flu was the work of fascists.
	And the entire pandemic was used to steal the 2020 election through mail-in ballot fraud.
	From her perspective, nothing else mattered than the fact that she had not died from the jabs.
	And her business actually made more money from the PPP program than it would have by staying open.
	Oh, she's part of the problem, I guess.
	These people who made more money from Trump's welfare program than they did from actually operating their business.
	I told her anyone who can't see the truth at this point is purposely keeping their head in the sand.
	Because they don't want to admit that they were wrong.
	I didn't have the heart to point out the serious illness that her husband developed after getting the jab.
	But I did tell her, he says, that hundreds of thousands of small businesses did go bankrupt because the government shut down, and she was lucky that her survived.
	The PPP program was essentially the government breaking your legs and giving you a wheelchair and expecting you to thank them for their generosity by giving them more tax dollars.
	I realize it was no use in trying to change the mind of a normie who had been conditioned and propagandized for decades to believe what she was told by politicians and regime media.
	Her discomfort, caused by the cognitive dissonance of knowing that the current trajectory of the nation's finances will lead to disaster, but seeing her net worth continue to grow as the markets rise, Has led to an overwhelming level of normalcy bias in viewing the world.
	You see, what do you say about this?
	Well, we're told that people will become lovers of self.
	She doesn't care what is happening to the overall economy.
	She sees herself as completely above and divorced from the consequences that happen to the nation, to the state, to her community, to her neighbors.
	Not my problem. You see?
	It's that self-centeredness that really is at the core of this.
	Now, Quinn doesn't see it from that perspective.
	He sees this more from a George Carlin perspective than a Jesus Christ perspective.
	And so he said, millions of people have fallen into this mental trap that will not be resolved until the economy implodes, until bombs are falling on our cities, and warring factions leave chaos and death across our countryside.
	You know, when you look at that, or you look at the economic consequences, you go, hey, my stock portfolio is doing great.
	Well, that can evaporate in a moment.
	I've seen that happen.
	You go back to the 2000.com crash.
	I mean, all those tech companies are doing great now.
	They had real products that people used and everything, but for a moment there, it all disappeared.
	And so, these types of things can happen.
	The fact that nothing has happened to her, and she can't recognize the fact that something did happen to her husband.
	But the fact that nothing has happened to her physically from the jabs and boosters.
	The fact that the stock market has not crashed and that her paper wealth has not evaporated and disappeared.
	The fact that the bombs are not yet falling.
	Everything's just fine.
	What it reminds me is the story of the guy who falls out of a 25-story window.
	And five stories down, he thinks to himself, well, so far, so good.
	Right? That's where we are, isn't it?
	We may be closer than five floors to the bottom of this thing.
	I hope not.
	But he referred back to a Metallica program, a song, the lyrics, that said nothing else matters.
	He says, as we accelerate toward the dark, partially obscured, multidimensional climax of this fourth turning over the next several years, every one of us will need to determine what really matters.
	What really matters.
	He began his essay by saying, you know, he really likes, evidently, this Metallica song, which I know nothing about.
	Nothing else matters. He quotes a couple of lines from it.
	And he said there was a lead singer from Metallica who went into a bar and there was a funeral being held for some Hell's Angels guy or something like that.
	He said he'd originally written a song about his girlfriend or something.
	And they were using it as kind of a format to talk about their lost friend who had died.
	And he said, yeah, this could be something that is a lot more significant than just losing my girlfriend.
	And it is. He says, I often feel like I'm going through the motions, going to work every day, posting articles, warning people who already know these problems, trying to figure out how to survive whatever is headed our way without becoming too depressed to carry on.
	So how do you do that? Well, you know, he says, he looks at it and nothing else matters.
	He said, I have an open mind to hear different points of views.
	I agree with Trump and RFK Jr.
	on a number of issues while I vehemently oppose their views on other issues.
	The only politician I've ever felt perfectly aligned with was Ron Paul, but I also thought that he wasn't mean and forceful enough to succeed.
	He says, does any of the daily drama regarding Biden's senility or Zelensky's acting abilities fronting the U.S. war against Russia matter?
	To me, it seems like theater.
	It's designed to confuse, to distract, to obscure what's really happening under the curtain, where the real people running the world are plotting their next move with their never-ending war on humanity, family, and freedom.
	Well, I agree with all that.
	The problem is, is that if you take this from a strictly secular and political standpoint, none of it makes any difference.
	None of it makes any sense, and there's no really reason to carry on.
	I don't understand really how people who don't have a different perspective on it, who don't have a spiritual, eternal perspective on this.
	I don't understand how they do continue on.
	It really is a hopeless situation.
	But there is hope. There is a confident expectation.
	You know, Jesus said, what does it profit a man to gain the whole world and lose his own soul?
	What if we fixed all the political problems?
	What if we secured every aspect of the Bill of Rights and we had limited government?
	What if we were prosperous and healthy and our family was as well?
	Well, that would only last for a moment.
	For a moment, what would it profit you to establish heaven on earth when, as we look at these billionaires, especially as they get older and older, even people like Warren Buffet, even though he says, hey, you know, look, I'm not trying to be morbid here, but I made all my money in the insurance industry and I understand the actuarial tables.
	And so let's talk about what happens when I'm gone to keep this company going.
	Is that it? Is that what you really want to do?
	You want to have some company that keeps going on?
	What happens to you? You see, this life is such a tiny, tiny fragment of time.
	What we do here does really matter.
	There's a free offer that's out there.
	All you have to do is ask for it.
	All you have to do is ask for it.
	But there's a free offer out there that most people don't even want to entertain that idea.
	And, you know, if we convinced everybody of all this stuff, and we won every fight on this earth, what difference would that make if we lose everything in eternity?
	You see, this world is simply a small, temporary representation of the real thing.
	That's our perspective.
	And because of what we can do here that will affect what we do eternally, that's why we fight.
	And I have no problems with that.
	That's the thing that keeps me going.
	I would have a real problem.
	If this fight was predicated on winning in politics and trying to convince people, like this person he was talking to at the bar, that it really mattered.
	She's too caught up in herself.
	She can't see anything except what is happening right now.
	She can't even see the perspective of a couple years in this life, let alone an eternal perspective.
	We have to keep that.
	Or we'll be suicidal.
	I've known friends who have committed suicide, who had no hope.
	But we can have confident expectation.
	There's reasons to have that.
	And that's what I wanted to talk about before we got into the news.
	Because, you know, the news is just as much theater and distraction as this presidential election.
	That's the purpose of a lot of what happens in life.
	You have to sort out what really matters and what is a distraction and what is going to have an effect for a very long time.
	The next four months will be portrayed by the propaganda spewing pundits as leading up to the most important election of our lifetimes.
	We'll be told by the regime media that nothing else matters other than this election.
	But does any of this Potemkin village BS really matter?
	You see, you need to understand that in this short lifetime, Everything here is ultimately a Potemkin village outside of what is going to last forever.
	And so, yeah, these things do matter.
	Life does matter. And there will be rewards, punishments for what we do in this life.
	He said the impulse to just roll over and accept our fate because nothing we can do on an individual level matters, he says, is unacceptable to me.
	So what is it that keeps him going?
	Because he's not looking at spiritual issues.
	Again, he mentions the fourth turning.
	He said the fourth turning could end badly with the destruction of the world as we know it, or it could end with a new beginning.
	He says, I know we might lose this fight, but if we don't fight, we will surely lose.
	Together we stand a chance, but separately they will win.
	Resist until your dying breath.
	Yes, I agree with that. Resist, but resist what?
	And resist how?
	You see, what you really do want is a new beginning.
	You want a new beginning in this life.
	Yeah, you've made mistakes.
	Yeah, it is. There's no reason for God to accept you.
	Except that he's made that offer.
	A free gift.
	So you want that new beginning.
	And we look forward to a new beginning that's going to last forever.
	That's the issue. So, yeah, we resist until our dying breath.
	He says, you know, we may lose.
	If you are a Christian, you're in Christ.
	Christ has already won.
	Therefore, you have won.
	Let that be your perspective.
	I, quite frankly, don't know how he carries on with that perspective.
	It's kind of a pull-yourself-up-by-your-bootstraps type of thing.
	Good for him if he can, but ultimately, like I said, even if we win this fight on this earth, And we lose everything else.
	What have we profited from that?
	Well, when we look at how we got here, and some of the things that are going to be happening to us, many times we talk about it, and we talk about what happens with Our homes and property tax making, essentially, our homes always rental.
	We never own our home.
	I have many listeners who always point that out when we're talking about things.
	And that comes back to the property tax.
	The property tax turns you into a perpetual renter.
	You'll own nothing, right?
	Well, where does most of that property tax go?
	It goes into a black hole that we call government schools.
	And Maryland is a good example of this.
	They had a massive educational reform bill.
	They said, you know, it's just not working.
	Nobody can read.
	They can't think. And of course, this is all by design.
	It's not an accident. But the people are looking at it and they say, we want to have some results.
	So what is their response? To keep doing the same thing they have always done.
	Throw more money at it.
	And they have thrown so much money at it, it's going to bankrupt the state government or it's going to bankrupt property owners.
	Guess which one's going to go bankrupt?
	The negative outlook incorporates difficulties that Maryland will have to face.
	To achieve balanced financial operations in coming years without sacrificing service delivery goals or adding to the weight of the state government's burden on the individual and corporate taxpayers, said Moody's.
	And they have pointed to out-of-control education spending.
	This is the first time they've issued a negative outlook for Maryland since 2011.
	The fiscal cliff that they're looking at is primarily driven by education programs, including the one that they call the blueprint for Maryland's future.
	A series of education reforms that are going to cost $3 billion a year.
	$3 billion a year.
	That's throwing a lot of money at a problem, and that's not going to fix it at all.
	When the reform was passed, the progressive lawmakers in Annapolis didn't pass a funding mechanism.
	They didn't even appropriate any money to pay for this.
	Maybe they're too close to Washington to care.
	Maybe they don't understand that Washington has temporarily a superpower.
	The Federal Reserve fiat currency, that they don't have to worry about the debt, but Maryland will.
	A Republican state senator said, it is a self-created hole.
	That's right. The government schools are a fiscal hole, a black hole, sucking more and more money into it all the time.
	But it is also a black hole intellectually in a spiritual abyss.
	Education spending was always increasing.
	This is just putting a rocket ship on it without the kind of accountability that's needed.
	So let's just go faster, you see.
	And sometimes that's a good thing.
	Sometimes it's a good thing to have the Democrats attempt to drive the car over the cliff at a faster speed than the Republicans.
	Because you might not realize that you're going to be going over the cliff if the Republicans are at the wheel.
	But if the Democrats do it and really step on the accelerator and you see that cliff coming up pretty quickly, you might wake up and do something about it.
	I don't know. Maybe not. Their fiscal projections show an expected billion-dollar budget deficit by 2025, 1.3 billion by 2027, and more than 3 billion by 2028.
	Soaring deficits are a function of the blueprint for Maryland's future.
	The blueprint is nothing but red ink.
	They're going to pump $30 billion in taxpayer funds into public education over 10 years.
	And then after that, they're going to increase it even more.
	They're going to start spending more than $4 billion additionally every year after that.
	So instead of adding $3 billion a year for a decade and then reducing it, no, then after the decade, they're going to go $4 billion a year after that.
	So in order to pay for it, according to these statistics, the state would have to either increase the personal income tax by 39%, or raise the sales tax by 89%, or increase property taxes by 535%.
	You'll own nothing.
	And the people will be happy about it, because they will have been educated by and dumbed down by this Marxist system, which teaches envy.
	They'll be happy because even though they don't have anything, nobody else around them has anything either.
	That's one of the core values of Marxism that we don't usually talk about.
	Envy. Envy.
	A system, an economic system based on envy.
	Based on tearing everything down to the lowest level.
	That's why it was round at the time of the founding of this country.
	Jefferson and others called these people levelers.
	They just wanted to level everybody down to the lowest level.
	And they're happy as long as nobody else has anything.
	Even the Washington Post is talking about how bad the schools in Maryland are.
	Baltimore spends $32,000 per student and their teachers make over six figures when you account for pensions.
	Yet 23 Baltimore schools have zero students that are proficient in math.
	There you go. There's your zero again.
	We got zero COVID. We got zero emissions.
	We got zero achievements.
	Zero math.
	Absolute zero.
	Parents are furious, but politicians don't even care.
	It's a familiar story, isn't it?
	Maybe the parents should care and do something about it.
	If enough people got out of this system...
	Nobody would be interested in paying for it again.
	That's the key thing. You know, it's important for us to fight for our freedoms, and it's important for us to fight for our kids.
	But it's also important for us to put out this fire that's burning down the neighborhood.
	Well, we're going to take a quick break, and when we come back, we're going to take on the big problem of the Earth's core.
	Seems like everything is moving backwards, you know, or coming to a standstill.
	And so, the scientists...
	And there's a lot of disagreement about what is happening at the Earth's core, and I think it kind of gives us an interesting insight into, you know, the science.
	We'll be right back. You're listening to The David Knight Show.
	Well, as I said before, it seems like we've lost our core values, our society is moving backwards, and maybe it's gotten so bad that even the Earth's core is going backwards, according to some scientists.
	And when I saw this, my immediate reaction was, how could they know that?
	How do they know that? How are they observing this?
	How are they measuring it? And there's not really much discussion about this.
	There is a lot of discussion about the fact that there's a lot of difference of opinion.
	Among scientists.
	In other words, it is not settled.
	Especially when they cannot directly observe and measure this.
	They're doing this indirectly.
	You know, there's so many different scientific theories out there about things like subatomic physics.
	You know, is it the Niels Bohr thing?
	Is it quantum physics?
	Is it something else?
	You know, what about disease even?
	What is it?
	Are there pathogens that are out there?
	Is there such a thing as a virus?
	What is this?
	When they can't observe something and they start to create models to explain it, we can say the same thing about the universe when they look at the universe and they come up with ideas about dark matter and things like that to kind of fill in gaps.
	And there are other theories.
	They come up with more theories.
	And so, you need to take what scientific experts are telling you with a grain of salt.
	If they can't measure it, if they are not willing to show you their data, especially.
	Deep inside the Earth is a solid metal ball that rotates independently of our spinning planet, like a top whirling around inside of a bigger top, shrouded in mystery, says CNN. And again, how do they know this?
	Intrigued researchers, since its discovery by a seismologist, in 1936, the intercourse movement has puzzled them, both its rotation speed and the direction that it's rotating.
	Ah, but now they've got it figured out.
	Always be wary of that.
	We just saw an ozone hole.
	Oh, really? Yeah. It wasn't there before.
	Well, we don't know. We never looked.
	But because there's a hole there, we have to assume that it's because of some kind of destructive activity of humans.
	Was it maybe there and you never saw?
	No, no. It's destructive activity of humans.
	We know that. So the rotation speed and direction of the core has been at the center of a decades-long debate.
	In other words, it's an unsettled theory.
	Part of the trouble is that the Earth's deep interior is impossible to observe or to sample directly.
	So, in other words, no science.
	No science. Like the climate stuff.
	Like the pandemic stuff.
	No science. Not going to show you the data.
	Don't have any data as a matter of fact.
	I've got computer models and I've got theories.
	And then they start to tell you all the things that they think they know about this.
	This is CNN, of course.
	Differential rotation of the inner core was proposed as a phenomenon in the 1970s and 80s, but it wasn't until the 90s that seismological evidence was published, said a senior expert of physical science at a university in Australia.
	Well, a lot of this stuff.
	They said it's important how they interpret the findings.
	I kind of, when I look at a lot of these big issues that they're just starting to pontificate about, and that's really what they're doing, they're pontificating about it.
	I'm reminded of the little story about the ants in the house who somehow discovered that if they could all get together and move the lever on the thermostat, that the temperature in their world would change.
	And they were so proud of themselves.
	Look at us. We can change the temperature.
	Never wondering, really, who actually built that thermostat and not understanding anything about the HVAC unit behind it.
	And that's kind of where we are.
	We're kind of where those ants are.
	And when the researchers argue over how to interpret these findings, Karen and I spent a lot of time working with the Creation Museum when they were getting it open.
	And one of the things I liked about that museum was that they, what they do when you go there, they show you something, fossil records, some kind of geological thing or something like that.
	They said, here's what we can observe.
	Now, here's our interpretation of that observation, and here is an evolutionary interpretation of that data.
	We both have the same data.
	We have different interpretations of it.
	Who's right? Let me explain mine to you, and I'll let you see what the other one is here as well.
	And they put them both side by side, because we've got nothing to hide.
	Anyway. Limited available data, they said, as a result, studies which followed over the next years and decades disagree on the rate of rotation, also its direction with respect to the mantle.
	Some analyses even propose that the core doesn't rotate at all.
	So maybe it's rotating, maybe it isn't.
	We don't know the direction or the speed.
	Research published, however, June the 12th has now cleared this all up, according to CNN. The people you can trust.
	In the journal Nature, they not only confirm the core's slowdown, but it supports the 2023 proposal that this core deceleration is due to your SUV. Oh no, they don't go there yet.
	Yet. Okay?
	Perhaps if it's because of man-made activity, and I'm sure they're going to get around to that at some point in time.
	Everything that happens is our fault.
	If they figure out that it's a bad thing, it'll be our fault.
	Well, you know, perhaps we have a solution for this.
	What if we all got into our SUVs and trucks and we all drive in the opposite direction?
	Could we make that work better?
	So, we've been arguing about this for 20 years, and I think this finally nails it.
	I think we've ended the debate on whether the inner core moves and what its pattern has been for the last couple of decades.
	Well, these are people who want you to believe that the Earth is billions of years old.
	They don't know anything about geology, they don't know anything about the inner core, and they don't know anything about climate.
	They said, the sloshing of metal-rich fluid in the outer core generates the electrical currents that power the Earth's magnetic field, which protects our planet from deadly solar radiation.
	Boy, that's pretty lucky, isn't it?
	We really got lucky.
	I know there's no designer or anything like that.
	It's just a series of innumerable consequences that helped us to have this.
	It wasn't... Wasn't any kind of design.
	No, none at all. Though the inner core's direct influence on the magnetic field is unknown, is it really what is causing it, even?
	Again, they don't know.
	They don't know the direct influence, so they don't even really know if it's the cause.
	Do they? Scientists had previously reported in 2023 that a slower spinning core could potentially affect the Earth's magnetic field, and it could also fractionally shorten the length of a day.
	So we better get in those SUVs and start driving in the other direction fast.
	Because the spinning of the inner core affects movement in the outer core, inner core rotation is thought to help power the Earth's magnetic field, though more research is required to unravel its precise role, and there is still much to be learned about the inner core's overall structure.
	Novel and upcoming methodologies.
	They're going to have computer models as well.
	We'll be central to answering the ongoing questions about the Earth and her core, including that of rotation.
	So again, they come back to the fact that that's how the article ends.
	So it's not settled at all, is it?
	Meanwhile, science has got a new way to predict your health and your future.
	Just let them scan your face.
	The way they said everything always comes back to facial scans, biometric stuff, ID numbers, and all the rest of the stuff.
	And this is kind of like a big tech version of a palm reading where they look at your lifeline.
	This is something that came out of China, and they said, well, if we look at a heat imprint of people's faces, we can see that there's a general trend that That would indicate your aging.
	And so we can extrapolate that to, you know, looking at your thermal radiation from your face.
	We can make inferences about your overall health.
	So go get your face scan.
	It's going to be really good. They said, you know, facial scans could soon do more than unlock your smartphone or identify you at the airport.
	Yeah, I'm not a big fan of face scans.
	So let's come up with a good reason to get your face scan.
	Oh, well, it'll tell you about your overall health.
	Peking University in China.
	By the way, it's interesting. I haven't seen that word for a very long time.
	Peking. They always talk about Beijing now.
	It used to be Peking, but now they still call this university Peking University.
	They analyzed thermal facial images of over 2,800 individuals who were aged 20 to 90, and they discovered the distribution of heat on our faces changes in distinct ways as we age.
	They conducted a small experiment where volunteers engaged in a two week jump rope exercise program.
	Remarkably, after two weeks, the participants' thermal ages decreased by an average of five years.
	Start jumping.
	Again, you know, it's one of these deals like driving the SUVs in the opposite direction.
	Get that core spinning there.
	You can make time flow backwards if you start jumping rope.
	But they continued to sell this thing as a quick, non-invasive way to assess overall health and aging.
	Well, non-invasive if you don't consider privacy as an loss of privacy as an invasion.
	But the key thing about this is the study limitations, which is at the end of the article.
	So the researchers also note that factors like emotion, outdoor temperature, and seasonal influences could have affected this facial temperature.
	Okay, we're done with this, right?
	Doesn't make any sense anymore.
	The exercise intervention study had a small sample size and a short duration.
	You mean like the vaccine stuff?
	We keep coming back to junk science.
	It's total junk science.
	So this could require further investigation to confirm the long-term effects.
	Yeah, when they come up with crazy stuff like losing five years of, or gaining five years of life expectancy by jumping rope after just a couple of weeks of that, that's where we are.
	Do people want freedom, by the way?
	This article from Brownstone, I thought it was very interesting.
	They talked about an author, his name is Bauman, who wrote Liquid Modernity back in 2000.
	And he, in it, he said, do people really want freedom?
	Can they bear the challenges and the responsibilities of being free?
	Well, you know, Broadway producer Stephen Sondheim was there way before him.
	Back when I was in high school, we did A Funny Thing Happened on the Way of the Forum, and in it, you had Pseudalist the Slave, and he's all excited about being free.
	And in the middle of his song about being free, he stops, and he goes, wait a minute.
	If I was free, nothing would be free.
	He stops cold and has to think about it for a while.
	Does he really want to be free?
	I mean, as a slave, everything is paid for.
	You know, he doesn't have any responsibilities or any worries.
	All he has to do is just do what the master tells him.
	He's fine. And so in it, Bauman says in 2000, again, decades after Sondheim, is liberation a blessing or a curse?
	A curse designed as a blessing or a blessing feared as a curse?
	Another author back in 1942 says the truth is that the truth that makes men free is for the most part the truth that men prefer not to hear.
	Boy, isn't that profound.
	Except Jesus said it 2,000 years ago.
	He said, you'll know the truth and the truth shall set you free.
	But people don't want to hear that truth, do they?
	And that's what he said. Yeah, people, the truth that would set them free is what people don't want to hear.
	And in this article from Brownstone, the author is Bert Oliver and Olivier, I guess.
	Bert Olivier. Anyway, he says, he goes back to the story of Odysseus, the fictional story.
	And he said in it, he got some sorceress that turns the sailors into pigs.
	And Odysseus gets the stuff to reverse the curse.
	But the pigs are running around.
	They don't want to be changed.
	And so he says, in this reimagining of it that one guy wrote, once he changes one of them back, the guy says, What'd you do that for?
	I was happy. I could wallow in the mud and I could bask in the sunshine.
	Jesus talked about that as well.
	The pig is returned to the wallow in the mud.
	A lot of times, people don't really want to be free, do they?
	They would rather wallow in the mud and not have a master who's going to tell them what to do, even if that master provides everything for them.
	We find ourselves in the middle of the biggest attempt at global power grab in history.
	Now we come back to politics.
	The first one, in fact...
	That has been capable of being applied to the world in its global entirety.
	We've never had the technology for anybody to do a global government before, or even global governance.
	As he points out, this is not something that was available to Alexander the Great, to the Roman Empire, to Napoleon, not even to Hitler, to be able to conquer the entire world and to keep it under their thumb for the first time.
	We have seen this. I think it's one of the things that attracts these megalomaniacs and these Nazis like Klaus Schwab and Ursula Fond of lying so much.
	And so he says, like the fictional swine that Homer wrote about in the Odyssey, he said people would genuinely rather like to remain in their comfort zone, their head in the proverbial sand, just as the person we were talking about at the beginning of the show, that Jim Quinn, the burning platform, came across.
	They'd prefer to have their head in the sand rather than face the mere possibility that they could choose or even have to choose urgently to act.
	Because our very ability to exercise our freedom is at stake.
	This was brought home forcibly a few weeks ago in the town where we live.
	There was a debate, he said, about chemtrails.
	Which regularly appear in the sky above the town and erupted on the town's social media chat group.
	And at one point, a participant candidly admitted that he preferred not to pay attention to these disturbing phenomena because it only upsets him.
	Don't talk to me about that.
	I'm happy if I don't hear anything about that.
	And actually, I had an email saying, From someone who lives in Knoxville.
	He said, even though the chemtrail law went into effect on July 1st, I'm still seeing chemtrails in Knoxville daily.
	What are we supposed to do now?
	They aren't enforcing their own laws, so what good are they?
	I really enjoy your shows.
	You're the only one to use this common sense.
	This is from Scott. Well, interestingly, Scott, we're going to have...
	Senator Frank Nicely on, one of the people who got that law passed to penalize people with chemtrails.
	And we'll talk about what the enforcement mechanism is with that, along with some other things.
	But for the people who want to dismiss this as a non-existent conspiracy theory, here is a military veteran who has become a whistleblower on chemtrails.
	So we're here with Kristen Megan.
	She's a military veteran, right?
	Yes, I was in the U.S. Air Force for nine years.
	Wow. And you came out and blew the whistle on geoengineering, things that you witnessed were going on.
	Can you give us a real nutshell?
	Absolutely. Basically, I had heard of what many people know as the term chemtrails, and I worked in a job called bioenvironmental engineering, and I figured, I thought that was insane, and why would we do something like that?
	Modify the weather by using hazardous materials in our atmosphere?
	So, and actually the process of trying to debunk it or disprove it, I realized it was actually coming right out of my office as I was one of the people that was approving the chemicals.
	And it really shook the core of my oath.
	And I did a lot of sampling, a lot of investigation, and I blew the whistle and I got out.
	And I've now used my credentials, my oath, and my powers for good to help people understand it's very real.
	It's now openly admitted.
	There are multiple forms of weather modification.
	I specifically found the one of stratospheric aerosol injection.
	And collectively around the globe, we have to understand that it is now being admitted because they're saying it's combating climate change.
	Well, the climate change we need to be worried about is man-made climate engineering, also known as geoengineering.
	And when you say you had chemicals being pumped into the air, what kind of chemicals are they putting out that rain down on humanity, basically?
	Nanoparticulate metals, like we had different sulfates and barium and stromium.
	I know it's probably changed over time.
	I know they use silver iodide for certain things.
	But these are, the odd part of it was the quantities that I saw them coming in, the form that they were coming in.
	And it's the same type of materials that I was trying to engineer out of the workplace to substitute with safer materials.
	And when you notice what's called the safety data sheet, the information about a chemical of what personal protective equipment to wear, how do you dispose of it, how do you pack it to ship it, when key information is missing, I ask questions.
	And my questions led to demonization, and I knew I found something I shouldn't have.
	That's insane. So these metals are basically toxic for the humans, I would presume?
	Yes, because it also has aluminum.
	And a lot of people will tell you, well, these things aren't horrible in small quantities.
	It's not small quantities because when you are putting things above us, the dissipation rates are dependent on weather and climate.
	But it's getting into the food.
	It's getting into the soil.
	And around the world, these wastewater treatment plants, when it comes to pharmaceuticals or these toxicants is what they're called, they are not able to filter them out.
	So if you're growing organic food, you know, it's...
	Are we going to go back to the plexiglass barriers on our plants?
	I mean, it's horrible. That's why you can ban it anywhere.
	We've had states in the United States ban it, and that is great to get the ball rolling.
	But people really need to wake up to it, irrespective of any political party.
	It's not okay. And you're seeing a huge increase in neurodegenerative issues like Alzheimer's.
	It's really difficult for people with respiratory issues and asthma.
	And people are wondering why they have allergies 24-7, 365.
	And I like what you said about that climate change or the change we experience in weather.
	Often we can't disconnect that from these geoengineering activities.
	Do you want to say something more about that?
	I mean, how do we feel that?
	Is there proof or so that is definitely coming from that?
	Yes, there are places that openly admitted it.
	Remember Dubai? And then when people got upset, they retracted it.
	But the can was already opened.
	And the issue is...
	I know this sounds silly, but when you watch movies with time change, they say if you do something and something changes, it changes the ripple throughout time.
	If you are modifying the weather, you are messing with Mother Nature.
	And meteorology is a very, very thorough study.
	And I do know a lot of it because of my profession of plotting hazards.
	It does not make sense when you are altering nature where things are not naturally supposed to occur.
	We had massive flooding in California, and we have a system called HARP that is in the United States.
	And the same people who demonized me five, ten years ago are now going, wow, because they're finding it's openly admitted in all of our U.S. documents.
	The U.S. is absolutely not the only country doing it.
	Wow, that's crazy.
	Well, thank you very much for coming out on that and letting...
	Again, when we look at this, it's a big false flag attack, right?
	They're changing weather, doing geoengineering of the weather.
	They're saying that it's you and your SUV. It's so typical, the kind of stuff that they do.
	But I think two of the key things in what she had to say...
	Was the fact that they were spewing out a lot of the same materials that she was actively working to try to get out of the workspace.
	You know, the same type of stuff. This is dangerous and we've got to get it out of here.
	Instead, they're the ones spewing it out.
	And, you know, aluminum, for example.
	Forget that guy who said, you know, it's just a little bit of aluminum and mercury.
	You can inject that in your veins.
	It's just an adjuvant, right?
	Who had been telling you that would cause autism and things like that?
	Yeah. How about injecting that stuff?
	Are we supposed to inject that?
	Is that okay? No, none of it is, quite frankly.
	And it all is a big false lie.
	And so, as we look at this, as we look at our dumbed-down society, our dumbed-down schools, that we pay a fortune for, that we bankrupt entire states and communities paying for the education.
	You want a 600% increase in your taxes?
	Well, do what Maryland is doing.
	And you know what? After they spend an additional $3 billion a year for a decade, an additional $4 billion a year for more decades, the kids are going to be even dumber.
	It won't be 23 schools that have zero kids that are proficient in math.
	It'll be pretty much all of them.
	It is a deliberate dumbing down.
	Charlotte Isabe said that about the Department of Education at its inception 40 years ago.
	They're deliberately dumbing the kids down.
	The schools are not failing.
	The schools are doing exactly what they were designed to do.
	And so when you look at this, the United Airlines Boeing 757 loses the wheels after takeoff.
	That's right. It is a metaphor for our society, isn't it?
	Are DEI throwing away any idea of merit?
	We don't want to reward merit.
	No, no, no.
	Let's just throw this away.
	Well, the wheels are coming off of our society.
	It's not just one company's products.
	Degrees are not worth the paper they're printed on.
	Say a majority of people.
	Only 36% of Americans believe college is worth the expense.
	Well, that means that 64% don't.
	You have two-thirds that say no and one-third that says yes.
	And that's even with Biden paying, picking up the tab.
	Still a waste of your time for almost all majors.
	There's a few of them that are going to pay for you.
	But even that has diminished significantly as the cost has skyrocketed.
	And why has the cost skyrocketed?
	Well, all the libertarian economists will tell you That if you subsidize something, it gets more expensive, and that's what's happened with higher education, so-called higher education.
	What's gotten higher about education is the tuition, not the education.
	It gets higher and higher every year, the higher education.
	Only 36% of Americans are confident about the value of college, a confidence level that has declined from 57% in 2015.
	So, in just under a decade...
	It has gone from just under two thirds to one third.
	Oh, maybe we're getting the education.
	Maybe we're getting wiser to what is happening here.
	While diminishing confidence in the U.S. higher education system was found among all demographics, such as sex, age, and political affiliation, Republican respondents saw a drop in 36 percentage points over the last decade, a much further decline than Democrat or Independent respondents.
	Well, it's because it's been politicized and politicized against them.
	Nearly a third of the respondents said school was too expensive, again, because it's been subsidized heavily by the government.
	While 24% said they believe students are not being properly educated or taught the skills they need in order to succeed.
	You know, when they get out and say, well, my focus is on some esoteric nonsense.
	I played the clip for you.
	What what is the value of that?
	They don't know the price of their education. They certainly don't know the value of it 41% of those who lack confidence in higher education Cited political agendas as a reason schools across the US are bracing themselves for an enrollment cliff and So when you put that in suddenly now Biden's ideas about bringing in
	young people from all over the world and Having us pay for their education. Well, that's one way to take down the United States. That seems to be his primary focus is the great takedown.
	Not necessarily even the great taking, but the great takedown.
	So we can bring students from all over the world.
	We can train them in Marxism and other forms of degeneracy.
	And then at the end, we can promise them a green card.
	And we can do all this in order to help the colleges.
	Because if we don't bring in foreign students from all over the world...
	With a promise of a free education and a free green card at the end of it, even if they just go to junior college.
	Well, then these colleges are going to go out of business, and you understand the colleges are organized as a very powerful lobbying group.
	So, ultimately, the reason these schools are so expensive and so broken is because the feds are involved.
	We have the Nashville Shooters Diary.
	We now have a ruling from the judge saying that none of that information will be released.
	A little bit too late because the paper there in Nashville had a lot of the diary released to them by someone inside the police department, and they published it.
	But the judge has ruled that over 100 gigabytes of evidence all needs to be kept secret.
	Yes, we have.
	And what is the basis for this?
	Well, we know why she wants to do it.
	They don't want somebody who is certifiably insane as these cranny people are.
	I've said from the very beginning, I showed the crannies as Norman Bates from Psycho.
	That's it. It is a psycho agenda.
	And they're not just gaslighting and grooming kids for sexual issues.
	They're gaslighting and grooming them.
	To mess with their minds.
	And to create a generation of people that are incapable of functioning in the real world.
	Who don't even want to be in the real world.
	They want to be in a virtual reality.
	That's part of what this furry stuff is paving the way for.
	So it's paving the way for degeneracy, for pedophilia, and for virtual reality.
	And they're going to do everything they can.
	To try to support that.
	This Nashville judge, last name is Miles, has decided that none of Audrey Hale's writings should be made public.
	And this is the basis of what she is saying.
	She's now saying that disclosure would violate Federal Copyright Act.
	What? None of this stuff was copyrighted.
	None of it was copyrighted.
	She said that Hale's victims, victims, have copyrights to use the material, even though the victims haven't registered with the Federal Copyright Office.
	And the victims didn't create it.
	How do they have this?
	She said, She's a state judge.
	And she's saying that, well, nothing I can do about it, because there's federal copyright law that applies here.
	By the way, did this judge go to college?
	I think she did.
	Maybe she got deliberately dumbed down.
	Or maybe she's just trying to come up with some specious arguments to do whatever she determined to do beforehand.
	The judge also ruled that disclosing Hale's writings could inspire copycat killers.
	There you go. There's the copyright stuff.
	Copycat killers, copyrights.
	It all makes sense now, doesn't it?
	Well, to know one but that judge.
	Disregarding the testimony of an expert psychologist who said that there's no evidence to support a copycat theory.
	So, she's going to censor that information from the public.
	Again, she has an agenda.
	She wants to promote a certain type of insanity, and it would damage that agenda.
	And so when we look at the Digital Services Act, as the Freedom for Foundation characterizes it, they call it the EU's censorship super weapon.
	And it really is.
	It really is.
	The DSA creates a unified framework for government-directed content moderation across the European Union.
	And each EU member state now has what they call a Digital Services Coordinator, who has the power to penalize online platforms if they fail to adequately address systemic risks, such as hate speech and misinformation.
	Those are such subjective terms.
	What is hate speech? Well, I'll tell you when I see it.
	What is misinformation? Well, I will decide what is true and what isn't.
	This is how free speech dies and is buried.
	These official speech commissars can deputize third-party entities in order to act as, quote, trusted flaggers.
	A Stasi system.
	So this is censorship with a Stasi system.
	At one point in this article from the Foundation for Freedom, they say this is the most extensive network with the exception of China's Great Firewall to keep information out of China.
	Again, China is the beta test site.
	One of the strikes I got from YouTube was to say that 2020 was the year that the world became China.
	Boom! Kick that guy out of here.
	They know that's true. I know it's true.
	They don't like it when I talk about the Federal Reserve.
	They don't like it when I talk about the fact that China is the promotion of all of this stuff.
	But it is.
	And yet, I would say that this is far more dangerous than China.
	Simply because of its decentralization.
	Simply because it is a distributed network rather than a centralized bureaucracy that's going to be responsible for this.
	And it's not just a distributed system throughout all these different countries, but now they're relying on artificial intelligence.
	They needed to have AI in order to shut these things down.
	AI's superpower.
	It's going to be censorship surveillance.
	That's what it's going to be used for.
	It'll be masterful at that.
	Because it can recognize very quickly and match these things.
	That's what it's doing all the time.
	As I've pointed out in the past, when I talked about some of these...
	These examples where they try to get AI to tell you the situation, you know, the best one I think was going across the little puzzle where you got a goat and a wolf and a head of lettuce and you, you know, one will eat the other and you got to get them all across in your boat to the other side without losing any of them.
	How do you do that?
	And you simplify that problem and you only have one entity there and it becomes very apparent that the AI is not thinking.
	It's simply matching these patterns.
	Elon Musk became the first platform, his X became the first platform to be investigated after the DSA took effect.
	And so they're looking at very large online platforms and very large online search engines, and they have acronyms for that.
	They have VLOPS or VLOs.
	That's any platform or search engine that serves more than 45 million people in the EU. And so what is going to be required is that these platforms develop their own means to police this.
	You see, that's where the distribution comes in.
	They're going to outsource it.
	To private entities, because those private entities will do an even better job than the government would.
	So they have to identify, analyze, assess these systemic risks.
	They have to apply their ability as technologists in order to do this, artificial intelligence and other things like that.
	And then they have to put measures in place to stop these things.
	And what is it that they want to stop?
	Well, we all know it's going to be anything that threatens To put out hate or misinformation.
	For example, they mention specifically public security and the electoral process.
	Don't criticize their elections.
	Gender-based violence.
	Well, don't criticize their gender fantasies either, because, you know, your speech is violence, they say.
	Discrimination. Same story there.
	Or illegal content, which is to be determined.
	But of course already, illegal content would bring up things such as hate speech.
	Yeah, it's going to be a means to persecute Christians.
	It's going to be a means to persecute their political enemies.
	If you look at what is happening in Germany, because of the strong increase in AFD, the alternative for Deutschland, the alternative for Germany.
	It's a conservative nationalist party.
	And so they've accused them of being Nazis.
	I don't know if they're Nazis or not.
	There's probably some people who are Nazis there.
	There's probably people who are Marxist, Maoist, and other things in the left-wing parties.
	But what they are doing is truly amazing.
	And it makes you question who the real Nazis are.
	They have debanked the AFD, saying, your bank account that donors can put money in, we're going to shut that down.
	We've seen that in the UK against Nigel Farage and other people.
	We've seen it against the Free Speech Union in the UK as well.
	Conservative groups, people who support free speech, who support liberty, individual human rights, they're attacked by these Nazis, these literal Nazis.
	And so in Germany, the leftist Nazis, remember, you know...
	Nazis stood for National Socialism.
	The only thing these people don't like about the Nazis is their nationalism.
	Nationalism in and of itself is not a bad thing.
	It's actually the other part of it, the socialist part of it, the authoritarian, totalitarian aspects of it.
	That was what was bad. It wasn't the nationalism.
	So what they've done is they've debanked AFD. And now they are taking away the few gun licenses that people have in Germany.
	Tightly controlled.
	But if you are now an AFD supporter, you get your gun confiscated.
	So shut down your bank account.
	Confiscate people's weapons.
	Like I said, who are the real Nazis?
	Additionally, digital service coordinators can certify outside organizations as trusted flaggers and other things like that.
	So the government... Puts this responsibility on these large companies and said, well, you can either do it internally or you can in turn hire somebody to do it for you.
	Is this going to be a new profit center, perhaps, for the World Economic Forum, for Davos?
	We're going to take a quick break and we'll come back.
	I've got some comments I need to catch up on.
	Folks, if you're watching the show, please like the stream.
	That helps us a great deal.
	We're going to take a quick break and we'll be right back.
	Excellencies, ladies and gentlemen, your annual global risk report makes for a stunning and sobering read.
	For the global business community, the top concern for the next two years is not conflict or climate.
	It is disinformation and misinformation.
	followed closely by polarization within our society.
	In a world of deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.
	You are listening to The David Knight Show.
	Alright, and on Rockfin, thank you very much.
	Fran Edwards, I appreciate the tip.
	Thank you. And on Rumble, for Love of the Road, good to see you there.
	And he says, I'm not going to try to pronounce this name here, but someone in the Telegram chat wanted to know what that song with the fast-playing flute that's played during the breaks is from.
	I told him I'd tip you and ask for him.
	I'll listen to this later today.
	Thank you very much. It is from The Patriot.
	That's where the visual clips are from.
	And it's a John Williams song from The Patriot.
	And on Rumble Plasma Stream, thank you for the tip.
	It says, my electrodynamics professor gave me a huge smile and no answer when I asked him how the core is magnetic past the Curie temperature.
	I don't know if he ever considered it, but he seemed to be happy.
	Well, that's good. By the way, I should clarify, Travis is telling me Fran Edwards was from yesterday, so let me clarify that.
	Let's talk a little bit about what is happening with these globalists as they now move to, you know, they...
	Put out, create their own geoengineering.
	They're polluting the environment.
	They're telling us that we've got to shut down one thing after the other, and yet they're the ones who are dumping out pollution in an effort to modify the weather, claim that that is climate change.
	And climate change and weather are obviously two very different things.
	But now they are setting up their own energy creation because they're using so much energy.
	This was sent to me by Sam.
	Google's emissions have surged nearly 50% due to AI energy demand.
	Well, I guess we'll have to kill artificial intelligence and private jets, maybe, right?
	No, no, no. We'll kill the SUVs and the private cars.
	That's what they want to do.
	And Winepress has a story.
	The AI craze is driving up carbon emissions in an ironic twist.
	Well, actually, it's hypocrisy.
	You know, irony, I think, is something that happens that is a kind of reversal that is unintentional.
	Hypocrisy is when you know very much what you're doing.
	These people know exactly what they're doing.
	The amount of computational power used for AI is doubling roughly every 100 days.
	Amen! You know, AI is doubling its computing capacity and probably its energy consumption every 100 days, and our deficit is adding another trillion dollars every 100 days.
	The 100-day mark is very significant now.
	The Bank of International Settlements has warned that AI adoption may change the way inflation works.
	Hmm. Well, they're the ones who are going to be behind the global currency, the global central bank digital currency.
	The environmental impacts have so far received less attention.
	A single query to an AI-powered chatbot can use as much as 10 times the energy that would be used in a previous Google search, a standard search engine.
	And again, nobody ever told Google to pull back on its use.
	Nobody ever told Google that it was using too much CO2. Nobody ever told the NSA that they were using too much energy or too much water, did they?
	I talked about that a decade ago.
	When they're building that massive storage facility to store everything for the day in which they get quantum computing and can go back and data mine everything about everybody.
	So they're keeping everything that everybody's done online.
	So, you know, but you can't go back and get your archives in case you lost something.
	Don't worry about me. You're not going to be able to get it from the NSA. They're going to keep it there.
	And they're using, put it out in the middle of the desert.
	And they're using more water than most of the towns there in Utah use.
	And they're using more electricity than most of the towns there in Utah use.
	I guess, you know, when Elon Musk puts his AI center there in Memphis, at least he's got the water.
	Maybe he's a little bit smarter than the NSA. I don't know.
	A generative AI system may use 33 times more energy to complete a task than it would normally take with traditional software.
	Most AI applications run on servers and data centers in 2023 before the AI boom really kicked off.
	The International Energy Agency estimated that data centers had already accounted for between 1 and 1.5% of global electricity use.
	That's about the same as all planes.
	All aviation.
	You know, the big commercial jets that we fly and the private jets of the elites, that accounts for 2%.
	And before the AI boom, it was nearly the same.
	1.5% is what the computers were already using.
	And for comparison, the steel sector was responsible for 7% to 9%.
	Of energy use. And they all take this back to the CO2 emissions, and that doesn't matter at all.
	None of that matters.
	On Rumble, Awootz, thank you for the tip.
	It writes, the cabal who decries that there are no truths, no genders, can somehow determine the clear and severe lines on what is hate speech.
	That's right. Well, truth is what they tell you.
	If they tell you that it's 2 plus 2 equals 5, you better agree with them.
	And then when they tell you that it's equal to 7, you better agree with them.
	It's just whatever they happen to say.
	It's just a power play.
	On RockFan, Dustin Helm, thank you very much for the tip.
	I appreciate that. Microsoft disclosed annual emissions increased by about 40%.
	But hey, that's fine.
	You know, they can do whatever they want.
	The technocracy can do whatever they want.
	The military-industrial complex, the intelligence community, they can do whatever they wish.
	No problems. So, it's not just the electricity, of course.
	As I said before, they consume large amounts of water in order to cool their servers.
	The data centers in the U.S. use about 7,100 liters of water for every megawatt hour of energy that they consume.
	Google's U.S. data centers alone consumed an estimated 12.7 billion liters of fresh water in 2021.
	So, they get first dibs on all this stuff.
	They get first dibs on the water.
	How about that?
	We can just stick our head in the sand, I guess.
	And then they're going to get first dibs on the energy as well.
	The BOE report says that the energy beast is now fully unleashed.
	Talking about AI. And so we better pay attention to the energy consequences.
	Just as everyone was getting cranked up on this energy transition, which was the big Western imperative, we all got to move to renewable stuff, right?
	Well... Now they've suddenly changed gears.
	And I've played for you just in the last couple of months.
	We've seen this over and over again.
	We've seen it from Sam Altman.
	We've seen it from Larry Fink, the financier, Black Rock.
	Oh, we've got to find some way that we can do nuclear.
	Because that's the only way that this is going to work.
	We've got to have this artificial intelligence in order to track and to follow the slaves.
	Oh, and to beat the Chinese.
	Yes, of course, to beat the Chinese.
	I forgot. Yeah. No, it's about us, really.
	And so we've got to have this.
	We're going to have to have nuclear.
	Several billion hungry people's vision for a better future, well, that'll have to take a back seat to their new agenda.
	You know, this was an existential threat, right?
	And they just decided that their existential threat doesn't matter as much as their surveillance does.
	So the consumption began to skyrocket with their AI. Then late last year, something landed on the scene like the Tungushka fireball, the one in Russia.
	What was that? I don't know, but it leveled an entire forest just like that.
	Trees don't go down that easy.
	This new something hasn't leveled for us for 40 square miles like Tunguska did, but the impact is going to be even bigger, even if it takes a year or two for the shockwaves to fan out.
	And the new fireball is the arrival of AI. It's widespread acceptance and adoption and the view that it is now an imperative.
	We have an imperative, see Ohio.
	Some of these new facilities are building near natural gas fields, for example, where they can use that, and a lot of them in Ohio, near the massive Appalachia gas field.
	I said, well, that's fine. They can drill new wells and meet that demand.
	Oh, but no, it's CO2. We're going to have to build nuclear power, they said.
	And again, like all these technologies that they want to switch to very rapidly, it's got some big issues that remain unsettled.
	But here, folks, is the biggest issue with all of this stuff.
	What makes this new AI demand so concerning from a grid perspective?
	Is that demand can co-locate with the power facilities.
	This is why they're talking about, Sam Altman and these other people, are talking about miniature nuclear power plants.
	And I said this from the very beginning.
	They're talking about miniature nuclear power plants because this is not about expanding the grid.
	This is not about getting more power to you.
	It's about getting just enough power for them.
	And again, you can do without.
	Just like you can do without the water that they're going to take.
	They're going to take all the power for themselves.
	They're going to take all the water for themselves.
	And they're going to use all that power and water to spy on you.
	So, they can co-locate these small nuclear reactors.
	They can put them at the same location as their AI. Oh, that solves a lot of different problems.
	They don't have to build an expensive grid.
	Look at how many tens of billions of dollars have been spent by Texas and by the UK to create an infrastructure to carry the power that's generated in their remote wind fields to get it onto the grid for everybody else.
	They spent a lot of money in Texas for that.
	And then they froze up during the cold winter.
	But they spent a lot of money on that infrastructure.
	Well, they take these nuclear power plants and put them right there where their AI data centers are.
	Well, then they don't have to build that grid to distribute the stuff to you because you're not going to get any.
	So they can bypass this transmission delivery system, meaning that critical power supplies might not ever make it to the grid.
	Maybe you'll have to get that solar power and that wind anyway, right?
	Because that's really what makes sense for the solar panels and for the windmill.
	I mean, it's not steady state.
	The wind's not blowing, you're not going to get any power.
	The sun's not shining, you're not going to get any power.
	However, it does get you off the grid.
	And you don't need to have the massive battery systems that the grid needs to have.
	And they may be shutting everything down in the name of climate change.
	We're going to shut down all the coal power plants, all the gas plants and everything else.
	And we're going to have clean energy.
	We're the only ones with clean energy, so we're going to be the only ones who have energy.
	And we're not going to make enough of it for you.
	It's just going to be for their use.
	They're not going to even have the ability to give it to you.
	Users and generators generally prefer the scenario because it cuts out the middle participant and it cuts out the distribution issue.
	And the pie gets shared only two ways instead of three.
	That's exactly what they want.
	We'll be right back.
	They created common past to track and control us.
	Their commons project to make sure the commoners own nothing.
	And the communist future.
	They see the common man as simple, unsophisticated, ordinary.
	But each of us has worth and dignity created in the image of God.
	That is what we have in common.
	That is what they want to take away.
	Their most powerful weapons are isolation, deception, intimidation.
	They desire to know everything about us while they hide everything from us.
	It's time to turn that around and expose what they want to hide.
	Please share the information and links you'll find at TheDavidKnightShow.com Thank you for listening.
	Thank you for sharing.
	If you can't support us financially, please keep us in your prayers.
	TheDavidKnightShow.com Right, and before we get back into the news, I've got some amazing things that are happening
	with self-driving cars and other things.
	But before we get into that, I just wanted to thank some of the people who have sent us support via mail.
	And I'm going to read off the first names and last initial because I don't want to violate anybody's privacy Timur are Tk. Dale L Joel B HD Mary in Barbara F Carolyn and Donald C Teal C2 checks as I think what one of them was sent last month and just arrived They both arrived at the same time.
	Karen C., Ronald C., Martin T., which, again, was one from last month.
	That was Marty. Thank you, Marty, for the matching funds for the end of the month last month.
	Lois L., Jeffrey and Cynthia C., R.D., Timothy W., John S., and Marty K. And a couple of short letters here.
	This is from Marilyn B. Here's a warm Independence Day gift and greeting to you from Houston.
	If you want to see what a 2030 Agenda City looks like, look no further than Houston.
	It's a concrete desert jungle being taken over by thousands of multifamily dwellings.
	That's cages, she says.
	Built along every major freeway and road.
	The roads are no longer being repaired as of 15 years ago, she said.
	That's bringing in millions, no joke, of cars.
	We predict that Houston's gridlock will soon become impassable.
	I agree. I mean, I've been, when we were living in Texas, occasionally I go to Houston.
	Unbelievable. We had lived there, and it was pretty bad, 1980 to 1983.
	And there's nothing compared to what it is now.
	It's unbelievable.
	A massive interstate system, and it is just complete gridlock.
	And it's a common situation with these big cities.
	Austin was the same way.
	They continue to add more and more residences, more and more businesses, but they don't do anything with the roads.
	They didn't even maintain them.
	The only thing that they do any road construction with is with toll roads.
	And of course, one thing that Elon Musk got right, got very right, was when he started talking about tunneling.
	It is necessary, if you're going to grow the buildings vertically, you're going to have to grow the infrastructure vertically as well.
	The roads are going to have to grow vertically.
	Everybody understood that.
	You look at any vision of a futuristic city, Even going back to the 1920s, some of the very first sci-fi movies, silent films, what do they do?
	They show multiple layers of traffic operating.
	Well, they don't do that.
	They don't do it. They don't build any more transportation infrastructure.
	They just build more residences and bring more people in.
	That's the key thing. And then this from Scott, and I won't mention which lab he's at, but he says he's at a national lab.
	He listens during lunch.
	He said people there are still wearing masks.
	And the DEI continues.
	Sorry. This is a couple of emails here.
	This is from Michael. And I had not seen this story, so thank you for sending this to me, Michael.
	He says, I'm in a small North Dakota town of 140 people.
	Only 17 miles separates my town from the train derailment in Bordelac.
	A population of only 18 people live in Bordelac.
	And so, the press really hasn't covered this.
	And, you know, I talked to Goatree.
	He said, do you realize how many train derailments there are all the time?
	And he's very concerned as to whether or not, and we talked about this, I've had him talk about it on air, very concerned about whether this is some kind of a sabotage, or is it just neglect, like the roads that they don't repair?
	But there's a tremendous number of train derailments.
	And in this particular one, more than 25 cars are derailed, says Michael.
	And that's what the press is reporting.
	But it's not making it to any of the large news sites.
	And I had not seen that.
	So they had 25 cars derail.
	According to the press reports that I was able to find, about a fifth of them, about five of them, were carrying toxic substances.
	Anhydrous ammonia, sulfur, methanol, and the ammonia is the real toxic one.
	And then it caught fire.
	So, he says, they're on fire, there's toxic substance that has spilled onto the ground, they've not told us what the substance is, but of course they know.
	And again, now they've said that it is anhydrous ammonia, but, you know, who knows if they're telling you the truth.
	I mean, just take a look at Palestine, Ohio, and the disaster that was there, and others.
	I mean, we've had situations, there was a...
	Massive pollution of water.
	A couple of years ago, the EPA doing something with a mine.
	They just kind of skim over that, if they're the ones who are doing it.
	The town of Bordelac is closed off for miles in every direction.
	They will suppress this story and they will get away with it.
	If I went out there to investigate and take pictures, I'd probably be arrested.
	But again, he writes, didn't Biden stop the pipeline from being built for environmental reasons?
	Yeah, you know, the EPA and these other things are environmental disaster in every regard.
	And, you know, when you have a situation with...
	You know, with oil, for example.
	Yeah, anything. There are no perfect solutions.
	But if you have a pipeline that leaks, That is much more easily addressed and fixed than if you've got something like the Exxon Valdez that sinks and releases its entire load into the water that is there.
	So that's the reality of it.
	And by the way, Michael, when I saw this, I saw that for some reason it added to an email that you'd sent me on December the 18th, 2020.
	I saw that at the bottom.
	And that was the day after I was fired.
	And he said at the time, please start up your own show as soon as possible, even if it's streamed out of your home.
	Well, thank you for the encouragement, Michael.
	I appreciate that. We actually did that.
	We did it. So that was Thursday I was fired.
	On Friday, he sent that email to me.
	And on the following Monday, we had it streaming out of our home.
	So thank you for that encouragement.
	And it really was people contacting us that got me to do that, actually.
	And it's good to know that you're still there.
	So thank you for listening and listening all these years and for the encouragement.
	And then this is from a listener, and I do want to...
	He had a bit of a beef with me.
	And I think he was right.
	This is from Brian.
	And he was very upset about the fact that I had the Newsom Nightmare author, John Cox, on Friday.
	That interview was originally done way back.
	Remember when there was this thing called a primary that we're pretending that we're going to have in the U.S. and everything?
	And then you had DeSantis and Newsom do a debate with Sean Hannity on Fox News.
	And I thought it would be kind of interesting for people to get more of a background on Newsom.
	And so, interestingly enough, at that time, and because of the additional national attention that he was getting, making noise like he was going to run for president, the publisher of that book sent that to me.
	And I thought, yeah, that'd be good to talk about that with a Newsom-DeSantis debate coming up.
	So I got him on and we talked about it.
	And then when we're going back and looking at past shows for the best of interviews on Friday, I said, well, you know, Newsom is now back in the news again, you know, trying to push for president.
	So let's put this back in here and give some people some ideas about Newsom.
	And I didn't do any investigation of John Cox.
	I knew that he had run against Newsom.
	But to me, that was secondary.
	We really wanted to talk about Newsom.
	And, you know, when I look at different news sources, for example, when I look at RT, RT will lie to you about what's going on in Russia.
	But they will tell you the truth about what's going on in the United States.
	And so, you know, there's that aspect of it.
	But anyway, this is what Brian says.
	He says that real estate developers like John Cox are literally destroying local communities in Indiana and elsewhere in the U.S. And he says he's a regular listener, former resident of California, current resident of Indiana.
	And as part of the interview, John Cox was talking about how he's involved in investing in real estate in Indiana now at this point in time.
	He says, the real estate investors, developers, are making large campaign donations to local politicians who sell real estate development schemes.
	This is something that I've always seen.
	Local politicians were typically involved in the real estate market.
	Once you get to the state level, there typically were lawyers and things like that.
	State and federal levels and things like that.
	It's usually lawyers. But at the local level, it's usually real estate people.
	I remember Sandy Friedman, the mayor in Tampa.
	They called her Sandlot Friedman because she had this scheme where they would go around and use building code violations to condemn poor people's property.
	They got enough of them condemned.
	They'd go in maybe and pay eminent domain for the rest of them and then turn it over to their developer friends.
	Well, he said there's a new thing that I was not aware of called a tax increment financing.
	He said if you're not familiar with it, it is a fiscal manipulation where local governments lend money to developers against future tax gains that result from development projects.
	Development projects are typically sold to voters as economic development or climate friendly.
	He said developers like John Cox get 100% of their developer's fees paid in advance by the municipal government, in other words, taxpayers.
	To maximize profits, they build cheap, mixed-use, high-rise apartments in established neighborhoods of predominantly single-family homes.
	With little or no demand for rental housing in these communities, the excess supply destroys base rent, lowers single-family home values, diminishes neighborhood character, places stress on local utilities and resources, adding insult to injury.
	The projected tax revenue never actually materializes.
	This is something that is in common with almost all of these tax benefits to bring in businesses regardless of what the business is Anyway, only the developer benefits is worth noting that early adopters of tax increment financing such as California have now banned the practice This is probably why opportunistic Carpe carpet baggers like John Cox who lives in California come to Indiana to continue the practice
	Despite authoring a book about Gavin Newsom. John Cox is no different from Newsom He should not have been an honored guest. You can do better.
	Well, I agree with you I don't like that type of thing.
	And if what you said is true, and no reason to doubt that it is true, it was not my intention to support that kind of crony capitalism.
	And we see that happening in a lot of different places.
	And so I don't support that.
	I do think that it was important for people to understand some of the background of Newsom.
	And that's the reason that we had that in there.
	And then Hank writes how OBGYNs are handling now more requests for sterilization after Roe v.
	Wade was overturned by Dobbs.
	And this is gleefully reported by NPR. Because the point of all of it is to eliminate children.
	That's what this is all about.
	Because it's all about depopulation.
	So when we come back, we're going to take a look at Biden and...
	Travis tells me, Sandra Friedman is still alive and was the first female mayor of Tampa.
	There you go. DEI. How could you miss?
	Right? I mean, she has to be good.
	She's a woman. Or do we even know what a woman is?
	Supreme Court justice doesn't seem...
	I'm not sure we're allowed to make that judgment call.
	That's right.
	Don't judge me.
	Don't judge me, my gender here.
	We're going to take a quick break and we'll be right back.
	Here's a little song I wrote.
	You might want to hear it in your part.
	You know nothing. And be happy.
	Ain't got no cash, ain't got no car, but 24 booster shots in your arm.
	Oh, nothing. Be happy.
	You can't even buy s*** in the store because of your low social credit score.
	Oh, nothing.
	Be happy.
	You owe nothing.
	And be happy.
	Be happy and eat the bugs!
	You're listening to The David Knight Show.
	show.
	Well, a lot of Congress has now returned as of yesterday.
	And we were told everything was going to hit the fan when these people got back into town.
	They were going to get rid of Biden.
	I don't see that happening as of yet.
	Last week, Virginia Senator Mark Warner was trying to organize a meeting with his peers to try to get together a group to get Biden to quit.
	And there was a flat-out threat on social media to him.
	You better hope this doesn't happen, that type of thing.
	So, because of that, I still believe that Biden is going to remain.
	I don't think they're going to be able to get rid of him, even if they want to do that, even if it would be a better thing for them to do.
	As a matter of fact, Biden himself was very adamant about it.
	He said he's going to beat Trump again in 2020.
	Well, guess what? They're trying to push me out on the race.
	Well, let me say this as clearly as I can.
	I'm staying in a race.
	I'll beat Donald Trump.
	I will beat him again in 2020.
	He's going to beat him again in 2020.
	The best part is that he says, let me say this as clearly as I can, and then slurs it out.
	And then, of course, these people who want him to leave, he simply laughs at them.
	And we give thanks to our Commander-in-Chief, the President of the United States, the extraordinary President of the United States, Joe Biden!
	Ho, ho, ho!
	Yeah, wrong holiday, Joe.
	Happy Independence Day!
	Ho, ho, ho!
	Yeah, that's the wrong holiday there.
	But he was very adamant.
	He said, we're going to protect our children from getting weapons of war.
	Ho, ho, ho! There you go.
	And when he was questioned by George Stephanopoulos, and again, remember, he was the White House Chief Communications Director and various other things for Clinton, and then they brought him on at ABC. No conflict of interest there.
	They did a recorded...
	Interview with him. But even the recorded interview, where they could perhaps edit out the worst of it, even that had some interesting, weird aspects where Biden talks about he's going to do the goodest job possible.
	Mr. President, I've never seen a president's 36% approval get re-elected.
	I don't believe that's my approval.
	That's not what our polls show.
	And if you stay in, and Trump is elected, and everything you're warning about comes to pass, how will you feel in January?
	I feel as long as I gave it my all and I did the goodest jobs I know I can do, that's what this is about.
	If he does the goodest job, he's an excellent communicator.
	He's gifted. But you know what?
	It doesn't matter if he does the goodest or the baddest or whatever job.
	People like Whoopi Goldberg are going to support him anyway.
	And this is one of the reasons why I say I think he's going to stay in.
	She said, I don't care if he's pooped his pants.
	Well, you know, there was a...
	I didn't really think that when he kind of froze on stage and bent over, a lot of people were saying he's pooping in his pants.
	I didn't think that that was what he was doing at the time.
	But she doesn't care.
	She really doesn't care.
	So maybe for Whoopi, we could come up with an acronym.
	You know, when George Bush went to Japan and...
	They said that he ate some bad sushi or whatever.
	Well, you don't want to talk about that too much.
	You might insult your host there in Japan.
	But he stood up at the banquet and threw up and then passed out.
	And the Japanese thought that was kind of funny.
	They actually came up with a new word, bushusuru, which meant to do a bush.
	And that became their word for vomiting.
	In his honor.
	So maybe we should come up with a new, instead of saying pooping in your pants, it's much simpler to just say he's making whoopee.
	So... Whoopi was trying to cushion the blow.
	Exactly. She said, I mean, listen, I'm going to have my two cents because I wasn't here on the day that y'all talked about it.
	I don't care if he's pooped his pants.
	I don't care if he can't put a sentence together.
	Show me he can't do the job.
	Well, I think that's pretty evident.
	It depends on how you define the job.
	I mean, if the job is to do a great reset and a great takedown of America, he's doing a really good job.
	Also, leftists are so contrarian.
	There's got to be a way we could sigh up them into pooping their pants in solidarity with Biden.
	There's a combination of words we could say to get them to do this.
	I just don't know what it is yet.
	That's right. Yeah, it'd become the fashionable thing to do.
	When you look at some of the styles that they use, I don't think you'd take too much convincing.
	They have to wear their pants up at a level where they don't fall off, for starters.
	A lot of the Democrat voters.
	Anyway, she said, now he's had a bad night the first time he went on.
	He debated with Lala Harris, and everybody wanted him to quit then.
	He said, you can't talk to women like this, or you're doing this wrong, or you're doing that wrong.
	And he came back and he said, you know what?
	I got it. And gave four years.
	So she said, so yeah, I have poopy days all the time.
	See, she's already doing it.
	It's already doing it.
	In sympathy. I step in so much poop you can't even imagine.
	Now, I'm not running the world.
	See, that's one of the things that he said.
	Hey, I can't do this, but I'm running the world.
	And it's like, isn't that disqualifying for him to think that he's running the world?
	Did we elect a global dictator?
	Well, unfortunately, both Republicans and Democrats want the president to be just that.
	They want an American empire.
	They entertain the fantasy that the guy that they elect, whoever it is, is actually running the government.
	Well, the government's running him.
	The question is, who in the government is precisely running these presidents?
	She says, but I don't know anybody who doesn't step in stuff at some point.
	So I'm just saying there's two debates, and if he can't do what he needs to do for the second debate, I'll join any crew that says get rid of him.
	Well, guess what? What I said with wag the Biden, as I said, they're going to have the hometown boy, good old shoe.
	He's going to come in, and no matter how bad it is, even if he ends up the night standing in a puddle of poop, literally, People like Whoopi will be making Whoopi about it, and they will still support him.
	They'll spin it, they'll lie about it if they have to.
	They're still going to support him.
	And they're going to portray him as an underdog.
	As a dogged underdog.
	Somebody who's not a quitter.
	Well, you know, maybe he can't put a sentence together, but boy, he's not going to quit.
	That's what you want is somebody who is defiant and stupid and dictator to continue to go on.
	A defiant Joe Biden dares the elites to challenge him at the Democrat convention.
	You see? Again, he calls them elites.
	He's creating this.
	He's the underdog persona that is out there.
	If any of these guys don't think I should run, then run against me.
	Go ahead. Announce for president.
	Challenge me at the convention. We've already seen how that works.
	RFK Jr. did that, and the DNC in Florida shut down the primary.
	By the way, the primaries are already finished, so how are they going to do that?
	See, here's the issue.
	You know, there's legal issues, but the bigger issue is political power.
	And Biden, see, not Joe Biden, but the Biden collective that I was talking about the other day.
	You know, I think of Biden as just somebody that's out there in front of everybody else.
	That collective that we call Biden is going to continue with this out of his own interest.
	Biden dismisses concerns about mental fitness with his Stephanopoulos interview.
	He says he'd drop out if the Lord Almighty told him to.
	Well, I don't know.
	I don't know if I believe that or not.
	The Lord Almighty has told Joe Biden a lot of things to do that Joe Biden has ignored up to this point.
	I don't know that he's done anything that the Lord Almighty has told him to do.
	So I don't know that he would do that.
	I think what he's saying here is that the only way that he's going to be term-limited is Is if they carry him out feet first, like I said the other day, very much like Darth Vader Ginsburg and Diane Frankenstein, they grasped hold of that power when they couldn't hold anything else.
	Because it's one thing about these people, they are addicted to power.
	And you're not going to take that rod of power out of their cold, dead hands, to paraphrase Charlton Heston when he was talking about guns.
	Well, they've got a different kind of power.
	Stephanopoulos said, do you dispute that there are more lapses, especially in the first several months?
	Biden says, can I run the hundred and ten flat?
	No, but I'm still in good shape.
	Stephanopoulos said, are you more frail?
	No, he said, flatly.
	So again, you know, but he doesn't lie, does he?
	It's not about a conglomerate of people making decisions, he said.
	It's about the character of the president.
	Well, I think he needs to tell that to Chris O'Donnell, because Chris O'Donnell says, we shouldn't even have a debate between two people.
	You need to get their entire staff on.
	You know, let's make this an open book exam, okay?
	And, you know, just get the entire staff on there and ask them questions, because it's just too much.
	For this guy to be able to respond.
	Assuming, again, that the mainstream media would ask any questions that are of any importance or that affect our very existence, which they would not do.
	But that's exactly what Chris O'Donnell said.
	Allow the candidates to have as many staff as they want to join them.
	Medical staff, you name it.
	Throughout the debate and make sure that all of them have microphones.
	The candidates should be allowed to turn to their staffs and confer with them about anything at any time in the debate.
	And we should be able to hear everything they say.
	So we can hear if the candidate has competent or incompetent staff.
	We could hear the candidate overrule some advisors and say something else.
	We could watch the candidates actually think.
	They're assuming they can think.
	You know, like what day it is, where he is, that type of thing.
	You know, what year it is. What year it is, even.
	Yeah, Chris O'Donnell just wants them to stop the hammering.
	Stop the hammering of Biden.
	Have you ever seen that clip?
	I won't play it, but it's pretty funny, the outtakes of that.
	So yeah, stop the hammering of Biden.
	He's just fine. Just bring his whole staff in and let them answer the questions, because like I said before, All of these presidents, it's the collective behind them.
	It's not the president. They're not running anything.
	This country is being run, whether it's Trump or whether it's Biden, is being run by unelected bureaucrats, faceless people that you didn't vote for that you don't even know what their names are.
	At least, you know, under Chris O'Donnell's idea, we'd at least be able to see some of the handlers, unelected, that are part of this.
	We'll be right back.
	♪♪
	Making sense.
	Common again. You're listening to The David Knight Show.
	Well, on the Republican side, I saw this headline.
	Tennessee U.S. Senator Marsha Blackburn applauds the passing of the 2024 Republican Party platform, as I said the other day.
	People were saying, hey, look, they're not even going to have the delegates vote on this stuff.
	They're going to do it behind closed doors.
	Emily, the reality of these things is that they've always gone through the motion.
	It's something that they could at least let the activists at the state level, who are the ones who constitute the delegates to these conventions, it could at least make them feel like they had some input.
	They don't care about that anymore.
	This has all become top-down, secretive, insular.
	They don't want your input.
	And I understand it because, you know, when you look at candidates, even with the Libertarian Party, small independent party, the candidates didn't want to be strapped down to these positions that delegates had fought over on various issues.
	If they disagreed with it, they didn't want to have that there to embarrass them.
	So I get that. Nevertheless, we're going through a period of time where they don't even bother to pretend that this is like an election.
	We don't have primaries.
	We don't have debates. We don't have any debates about the platform and the rest of the stuff.
	They came up with 20 different promises that Trump wants to deliver on.
	And, you know, you can look at this as kind of his...
	Something that he wants there, since it's his daughter-in-law that put this through.
	Seal the border, stop the migrant invasion, carry out the largest deportation operation in American history.
	Why didn't he do that the first term?
	Either one of those things. Here's another one.
	Number three, end inflation.
	Make America affordable again.
	Ma. I guess that spells M-A-A-A. Ma.
	But end inflation.
	Okay, well that's cool. Whip inflation now.
	Remember those buttons from Gerald Ford?
	That didn't work, did it?
	No details about how he's going to end inflation, considering the fact that he set all new precedent of spending trillions of dollars on welfare programs.
	The same type of stuff. We talked about Or being done by McNamara when he went to the World Bank.
	Hey, let's borrow a lot of money from the...
	Actually, I think he was with the IMF. Borrow a lot of money from the IMF. And then use it for welfare.
	Just hand it out, you know. And people say, wait a minute, you're just trying to load them up with debt.
	You're rent-seeking as a bank.
	And quite frankly, that's what the Federal Reserve is doing as well.
	Make America the dominant energy producer in the world.
	By far. With an exclamation.
	And this is all an uppercase.
	Well, I guess that settles it by putting that by far in there.
	We don't really have to, again, just like inflation, we don't have to worry about how that's going to be done.
	It's going to be kind of awkward with the Paris Climate Accord there.
	And it will be there.
	And they will pretend that there's nothing that he can do about it.
	Because they'll pretend that it was actually ratified as he did in his first term.
	They pretended that the Paris Climate Accord had been ratified by Obama and John Kerry, the two of them, when it needed 60 senators.
	They'll pretend that it was ratified nevertheless.
	Stop outsourcing and turn the United States into a manufacturing superpower.
	Well, you're going to need to have energy for that.
	And the problem with the energy is the Paris Climate Accord.
	We're back to that. See, number three.
	See, number four, rather.
	Large tax cuts for workers and no tax on tips.
	Well, here's news for the billionaire.
	Not all workers work for tips.
	You may think that, you know, since you're handing out money to people as tips.
	Seven, defend our Constitution, our Bill of Rights, our fundamental freedoms, including freedom of speech, religion, the right to keep and bear arms.
	Defend them from what?
	Your executive orders where you threw out these things?
	We did gun control by executive order and Biden continued with your precedent?
	Yeah, we need to defend our Constitution from people like you and Biden.
	Prevent World War III. Restore peace in Europe.
	Again, great.
	But how are you going to do it?
	In the weaponization of government against the American people, stop the migrant crime epidemic.
	Rebuild our cities.
	Wait a minute. These other things are things that the federal government could do.
	The border, the military, things like that.
	Defending the Constitution, you're supposed to do that as well.
	You didn't do that the first time through.
	But rebuilding our cities?
	Is that the work of the federal government?
	Not under the Constitution, it isn't.
	Strengthen and modernize our military.
	Keep the U.S. dollar as the world's reserve currency.
	I think it's too late for that.
	Maybe he forgot to put anything in there about CBDCs.
	Fight for and protect Social Security and Medicare with no cuts, including no changes to retirement age.
	Again, even though you look at this and it's difficult once you put these things in, how do you unwind this, you know?
	Social Security is unconstitutional.
	But meanwhile, you got people who paid their entire life, 15% of their income has gone into this thing.
	Are you going to cut them off?
	You've got to have some kind of a transition.
	This is one of the reasons why, when you talk about deportation, why he didn't do DACA the first time.
	But that's his number two thing.
	He's going to deport people this time.
	Really? You pretended that you didn't have the authority to overrule the executive order from the Obama administration called DACA. You went to the Supreme Court and asked them to do something about it, and they told you no.
	So what are you going to do this time?
	Again, these are campaign promises.
	Do you really expect them to do anything about it?
	Cut federal funding for any school pushing critical race theory, radical gender ideology, or other inappropriate racial, sexual, or political content on our children.
	Well, see, this is why I say to the MAGA people, when they say it was only the Democrat governors who did 2020 to us, I said, no, he funded it.
	He funded it.
	The buck stops with him.
	He's responsible for it because the buck started with him, especially.
	You get what you pay for.
	You get what you bribe people to do, and he understands that.
	His supporters can't apply item number 16 to what Trump did in 2020.
	He could have cut federal funding.
	To control this, to minimize it.
	He could have said, if you don't allow people to have ivermectin, we're going to cut your federal funding.
	I know, by the way, instead of building ventilators, we're going to manufacture ivermectin.
	Keep men out of women's sports.
	Well, there you go.
	That's in the Constitution, isn't it?
	Well, no, actually. But, you know, do you really believe that?
	He's a guy who wanted men in beauty contests with women.
	When he had that decades ago.
	So, maybe what we do is we get men out of women's sports and we put them into women's beauty contests.
	That's what we do. He could probably do that.
	He could probably pull that off. Deport pro-Hamas radicals and make our college campuses safe and patriotic again.
	You know, that is the issue with our colleges, isn't it?
	Nothing else. Actually, that's a symptom.
	Cut the college's funding.
	That's what you need to do.
	Cut funding for all schooling.
	That's not constitutional for the federal government.
	So you see the problem here, and you see the fact that it is Laura Trump who is pushing this through.
	One thing that they did do was they updated their abortion stance.
	This is not in the 20 items.
	And, surprisingly enough, I actually agree with the position that he's got there.
	He kind of took this position because he doesn't have to do anything one way or the other.
	But I think that's actually the right reason.
	Even though I am pro-life and I want to minimize it, that is precisely why I want to keep it at the state level.
	And I've said this before.
	I said, when you look at people like Lindsey Graham and other people like that, they want to bring it in and politicize it, make it a federal issue.
	Well, the federal government has no authority to deal with that, just like most of these things on his list of 20 items.
	This is the one thing that he got right.
	Federal government doesn't have any authority here.
	And when you look at the practical aspects of it, The reality is that if they pass a law in Washington to change abortion, even if it makes abortion more restrictive and saves babies' lives, don't expect New York and California and other places like that to follow that law.
	They didn't follow the war on drugs prohibition of marijuana.
	They nullified it. They did their own thing.
	And so, as I've said before, if they make it more restrictive, the Democrat-run states are not going to obey that law.
	They will nullify it, and they can, because there's no constitutional basis for it, as Dobbs pointed out.
	This is not a federal issue.
	It belongs in the state constitutionally, according to the Tenth Amendment.
	So the blue states, the Democrat states, I hate to call them blue and red, the Democrat states will ignore that.
	However, when the Democrats get in and they say you can do partial birth abortions, the Republican states will go along with that.
	Well, you know, we'd like to protect the baby's lives, but we've got this federal law now.
	So you understand what will happen.
	If they make it more restrictive, the Democrat states will not obey it.
	If they make it, no restrictions at all.
	The Republican states will go along with it.
	That's why I say leave it at the states where the Constitution put it.
	And if you don't like it at the states, then you need to modify the Constitution, like so many of these other things.
	I would just like to have, before Trump runs, I'd like to have a prenuptial agreement.
	We could call it a pre-trumptial agreement.
	How about that? I would like to know, just like one of his former wives, when he divorces himself from the Constitution yet again, what are the remedies that are left to me with a President Trump?
	You know, he might try to make America a prison again.
	Which he did the first time.
	I can't get past that point.
	It still sticks in my craw.
	So anyway, he says he thinks it's important to believe in the exceptions when it comes to abortion.
	Again, he's arriving at the correct...
	Conclusion, I think, in this thing, simply out of spinelessness.
	He doesn't have any principles about abortion.
	He's not trying to save babies' lives.
	He's not trying to obey the Constitution.
	And so I think for those reasons, I want to leave it at the state level.
	To obey the Constitution, to save the most babies' lives.
	And I know that sounds counterintuitive to a lot of people who are in the pro-life movement, but I think that truly is the case.
	I think a lot of people who are in the pro-life movement are trying to put it back in Washington because they would like to have the clout as a lobbying organization.
	We've seen this many times from some gun control groups who don't necessarily stand for the Second Amendment.
	They want to make themselves look good.
	And so... That's just the reality of how this stuff works.
	Do we have our guests yet?
	Okay, we don't have our guests.
	We're going to take a quick break, though, and we're going to be right back.
	Stay with us. You're listening to The David Knight Show.
	Alright, let's talk a little bit about what is happening with transportation.
	Because as I said at the beginning of the program, these people are driving us mad.
	Not necessarily crazy, but angry.
	And this is also sent to me from For the Love of the Road.
	He said, I just saw this in the Telegram chat.
	Figured you'd get a kick out of it.
	And this was actually sent last week.
	And... While we were replaying the show.
	But it is a situation where you've got a Waymo car that lost it.
	It's going the wrong way into oncoming traffic.
	And it was actually worse than that.
	It got confused at the traffic light.
	And so in this video, you'll see the body cam of the police officer pulling this over.
	This is in Phoenix. There have been a lot of issues with driverless cars in Phoenix.
	And so the question is, a lot of people ask, what happens when a police officer stops a car and there's no driver?
	Does a corporation get in trouble?
	Well, no, interestingly enough.
	And so here is, I guess we could call this, since this is a Waymo, I guess we could call this the wrong Waymo.
	Wow. Yeah, it stopped.
	It's a 92 Adam Sam, or a 92 Adam 2 Sam Paul, and there's no driver.
	Hi! Connected to rider support.
	This car may be recorded for television assurance.
	Yeah, this is Officer Heinz, Phoenix PD. So, your car here drove into oncoming lanes of traffic.
	Okay. Okay.
	That's no problem.
	Yeah, there's like a little bit of a construction area, and it went into opposing lanes of traffic, which is real bad.
	I couldn't help but come over just out of more of a curiosity.
	I thought maybe there was a passenger or something.
	No, like, you know the construction here?
	It was eastbound in the westbound lanes, which is real bad.
	And then I light it up and then it takes off to the intersection.
	It ran away from him.
	He should have shot it. Yeah, I don't know if you're able to kind of like review the video or something.
	Yes. Okay, great.
	Okay, so let's review the crimes of this driverless passenger-less car.
	You know, I said that about the electric buses.
	You know, they want to do these electric buses with autonomous drivers and anything.
	And around Austin, the city paid for a lot of these buses.
	And I said, oh, that would just be perfect because nobody rides these things typically.
	Yeah. So you can have riderless buses without a driver.
	Completely empty, just having them circling around using energy, you know?
	I mean, why not? We've got to save the planet, don't we?
	So, the Phoenix police officer initiated the traffic stop on the wrong way, Mo.
	As it drove into oncoming traffic, as it ran a red light, and as it, quote, freaked out that he wrote in all uppercase letters on his dispatch records.
	Now, you know, that's a lot of different things here.
	Now, if that had been an individual, and of course the freak out part is that it, you know, when he lit it up with his lights, it ran, right?
	I mean, if it had been a driver, might have shot him, right?
	You see that kind of stuff happening all the time.
	Wrong way on the traffic, running a red light, running from a police officer.
	But hey, oh, okay, sure, yeah, okay, that's fine, says the dispatcher.
	No problem. And the police say, no problem.
	A spokesperson for Wrong Way Mo initially declined to comment on the story.
	And then after it got on Reddit, they did.
	They said the vehicle entered inconsistent construction signage and went into an oncoming line of traffic, according to Wrong Way Mo.
	That's consistent with the Reddit post as well.
	So, the post is consistent, but it wasn't the vehicle's fault at all.
	It was the construction signage.
	Yeah. Yeah, try telling that to the cops if they pull you over for doing the same thing.
	The driverless car was blocked from navigating back to the correct lane for approximately 30 seconds, according to the company.
	Oh, it was somebody else's fault with that as well.
	It's all those humans on the road.
	You've got to get them off. We've just got to stop the human drivers out there.
	And while we're at it, let's let the construction be done by these infallible robots as well.
	Because they won't put up the incorrect signage.
	It's never Google's fault, is it?
	That's when the officer pulled in behind the car.
	In an effort to clear the intersection, the Waymo vehicle proceeded forward a short distance and pulled into the next available parking lot, said Wrong Waymo, describing the traffic incident as lasting approximately one minute.
	Well, that can be a lot of time if you're driving the wrong way on a road.
	The situation was cleared without any further action, and the police dispatch records say...
	Unable to issue a citation to computer.
	Why is that? Is it because it's Google behind that computer?
	And they're, you know, your boss.
	You're not allowed to give them a citation or criticize them.
	You know who rules you if you can't issue them a citation, to paraphrase a thing.
	Phoenix Police and Wrong Waymo confirmed the autonomous vehicles have equipment that senses emergency vehicles so they should know when to pull over.
	Evidently, that didn't work on the wrong Waymo car.
	Waymo's training guide for first responders says that the cars can detect emergency vehicles, can detect their lights, and can detect their sirens.
	I wonder how it does with gunshots.
	Which, again, what if somebody else tries to run from the police?
	When a vehicle is stopped, a Waymo can unlock its doors and roll down the windows, according to the guide.
	Well, in May, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration announced that it was opening an investigation into Wrong Waymo because of 31 incidents, of which 14 of them were in Arizona.
	Why is that? Well, because Arizona is giving them carte blanche to do whatever they want.
	It was not in Phoenix, but it was in Tempe, Arizona, where the woman was killed a couple of years ago.
	And so, again, this is something we see over and over again.
	No matter how bad it gets, The governments, whether they're state or whether they're federal, apparently are going to give a pass to these large corporations for whatever their cars do, or whatever their cars don't do.
	Well, we have Senator Nicely now on the line, and so we're going to take a quick break and establish contact, and we will be right back.
	♪♪♪
	the
	defending the American dream You're listening to The David Knight Show.
	Alright, and joining me now is Tennessee State Senator Frank Nicely, and I've talked to him several times because of his efforts to try to resist things like CBDC, to try to set up a Tennessee Reserve System to help the states financing and help people here in the state as we look at the uncertain issues around what the Federal Reserve is doing.
	And to maintain our privacy.
	It's very important that we have financial privacy with our transactions.
	So I've talked to him about those types of issues and some of the state issues, but I wanted to get him on again.
	Here in Tennessee, we've got primaries coming up in August, is that correct, Senator Nicely?
	Welcome. August 1st.
	Early voting starts the 12th.
	Okay. All right. August 1st.
	So it's coming up pretty quickly. Let's begin.
	I'd like to begin, since you're a farmer, I'd like to begin with some of the issues about food and farming.
	Because these are issues that are coming out globally.
	But whether they're global or whether they're national, really where the rubber meets the road is at the state and local level.
	We've seen things get really bad in Pennsylvania.
	Tell us what's going on here in Tennessee.
	Well, the commercial divide culture here in Tennessee told me that this bill we passed with whole milk in schools would probably do more for the dairy farmers in Tennessee than anything we could do.
	Michelle Obama Made us put 1% milk in our schools.
	And she pushed the kids into yogurt.
	A particular type of yogurt, which I've talked about in the past, which is done by a guy that they brought in from Kurdistan, and they set him up with a yogurt factory up in New York.
	So, yeah, I understand where that's coming from.
	Yeah, she wanted everybody to have 1% milk.
	You know, all the research says children have got to have whole milk.
	You've got to have the fat so we can absorb the calcium.
	So in Tennessee, I passed a bill this year to put whole milk back in our schools and dispensers, and not in these little cardboard boxes, but put it in a dispenser where it's really cold, whole chocolate milk, and whole...
	Well, you just got sweet milk, you know, just whole regular milk.
	And when you do that, even if you've got the 1% milk, if it's in a dispenser, they drink a tremendous amount more.
	No one likes it in these little cardboard cards.
	So someone said, well, the Fed's We're good to go.
	So we've got an attorney general now, a general committee, who's on our side, and I'm pretty sure we'd be putting whole milk back in our schools.
	And if you get these children drinking milk, good cold milk, whole milk, they'll drink it at home.
	But if you turn them against it in these little cardboard cartons, I never did like it in a cardboard carton with paraffinol.
	I mean, nobody likes milk like that.
	Yeah. We've got to get these children drinking milk.
	There's the calcium, the magnesium, the enzymes, everything.
	It's so important.
	So that's the whole thing we did, trying to help the dairy farmers.
	Another thing I did to the dairy farmers, I passed a bill that lets these bottlers label it Tennessee milk.
	Weigel's milk in Knoxville.
	They put the logo on their bottled milk.
	100% Tennessee milk.
	They buy all the milk from Wow.
	That's great. Well, I want there to be local food.
	Absolutely. We support a local dairy that's here.
	And what I like about it is it's not homogenized.
	You know, they have to pasteurize it in order to be able to sell it, which I guess brings up another issue.
	You know, we really have seen the federal government with this bird flu narrative that they're pushing out there, pretend that this is something that has to do with cattle.
	And they're focusing on cattle almost exclusively.
	We know this has been a globalist agenda to get rid of meat and to get rid of milk.
	One of the things that they really focused on is raw milk.
	What is the status of raw milk in Tennessee?
	Well, I passed a bill several years ago that allows you to sell raw milk through the Herb I buy raw Jersey milk from Cock County, and I buy raw Guernsey milk from Granger County, and they get a good price for it, $12 to $18 a gallon.
	People say, man, that's high.
	I say, well, that's about the same price you're paying for a bottle of water.
	If you buy enough bottled water, you're going to pay $12.
	So, I mean, when milk's cheaper than water, there's something wrong in our society.
	So... So, I passed that bill several years ago.
	We actually have more raw milk dairies now in the state of Tennessee than we do commercial dairies.
	They don't milk nearly as many cows, of course, but the average raw milk dairy has four cows on Granger County, but at $12 a gallon, he can make some money.
	The young guy's got a degree from agriculture, UT, and rather than Go join the milk mafia and try to sell it to the co-ops.
	He's just going to sell it raw, get $12 a gallon.
	He can milk four or five cows and make a little money.
	That's good. So we've done so many things to help the farmers.
	I used to be able to label your Tennessee meat.
	You know, when you buy meat at Costco or somewhere, it could come from three different continents.
	You don't know where it's coming from.
	It says USDA inspected.
	That just means USDA saw it come in on the ship.
	Mm-hmm.
	Yeah, let's talk about that because, you know, when you look at it, and I think that's why it is so ultimately important to support the local farms, which is what you're trying to do with this, and you look at their desire to try to micromanage and control everything, like you said, with the milk.
	If you put the milk on your tray, it's got to be 1%.
	They want to try to manage everything.
	and they're trying to manage the dairy cows.
	They want to tag and track them.
	They want to shut down people being able to process food on their own farm.
	Are you involved with the Prime Act in any way?
	I know that was something that was introduced by Congressman Massey at a federal level.
	Is there something like that in Tennessee?
	Well, Congressman Massey, who is absolutely the best congressman in Washington.
	We were sitting on a highway up in Virginia, product based on.
	We were talking about this problem, and I suggested the Prime Act to him.
	He gives me 100% credit for coming up with the Prime Act, and he's actually got it in the Farm Bill this year in the House, and we're working on the Senate.
	And I think we're going to make it, but I think you've got four sponsors in the Senate Ag Committee.
	So I think we're going to get it.
	What that would do, that would allow Tennessee farmers to retail meat that is processed in these custom houses.
	Like our local one here, we've got...
	We've got a lot of custom houses.
	We have very few USDA inspected houses.
	But that would let local farmers take their sale over here to two bucks right there and price Kodak over towards Darage.
	I would do a process plan, do a great job.
	You can have your animal killed there.
	And sell retail cuts.
	Now, a farmer can make a lot more money selling retail cuts than he can sell in a stockyard, shipping it to Nebraska, Georgia, Kansas, Florida, and then have to ship it all the way back.
	Burn all that diesel fuel, taking it out there.
	Burn that diesel fuel, bringing it back.
	It's better just to, and it's easy on the animal, just to process it here and cut out the middleman.
	The middleman is what's made all the money on farming.
	That's right. That's right.
	Yeah, and that's what I like about what you do.
	You come up with some real solutions, like the Prime Act, for example.
	And your solutions are really focused on local issues.
	And I think that's really what we have to do.
	The Democrats have known this for the longest time.
	They've always said that all politics is local.
	And you've got local solutions.
	And so I think that's very important.
	Well, as I mentioned, Bill, we passed our job.
	We're the only state in the nation where you can buy ivermectin over-the-counter without a prescription.
	And it's cheaper than buying it at the co-op.
	For less than $2 a pill, I can buy a 29-gram pill for me if I think I'm getting COVID or any other coronavirus.
	It works on all coronaviruses.
	It'll work on this new one that's coming down the pike.
	Take one.
	As soon as you think you're getting it, take one a day for five days.
	You'll still be a little sick.
	You won't die. Well, that's key.
	And, of course, you introduced that in the Senate at the height of all this insanity a couple of years ago to allow people to buy ivermectin over-the-counter.
	And we had people who were losing their medical license.
	We had pharmacists who, well, if you've got a doctor who sends you a prescription, if you fill that, we're going to take your pharmaceutical license as well.
	That's what we're seeing across the country.
	And you got it here locally.
	You got it passed so people can get that over-the-counter.
	That's really important. I don't really, looking back, I had the help of Dr.
	Sibley up in Johnson City.
	She had treated 5,000 people for free with COVID, with bivomectin, and only lost one or two who were extremely obese.
	She swires by it. She says, don't wait.
	When you think you're coming down with it, take one right then.
	Yeah. Yeah, that's right.
	Yeah, that's one of the key things, I think, during the pandemic that was causing an increase in deaths, the fact that they were denying medical care to people and delaying it to a very long, long extent, and then giving them things that were extremely expensive, ineffective, and unsafe.
	You know, being able to get ivermectin, get it early, get it cheaply, and it's very effective, that's the one thing they didn't want to have.
	You, in the Tennessee State Legislature, they got a lot of attention recently for passing a bill about the chemtrail stuff.
	It went into effect on July 1st.
	I had a listener in Knoxville saying, well, I'm still seeing these things daily.
	What is the enforcement mechanism for people who are violating this chemtrail bill?
	Senator Sutton carried that bill, and He put a $10,000 fine in it, but somebody that's going to have to sue, and actually that brings up another bill I passed this year called crime crime action.
	I passed a bill this year that gives a citizen the right, gives him standing in court to sue a state agency or a county agency that's not enforcing state law.
	So, we didn't have that before.
	That's a little bill. I got no attention.
	Intentionally, I eased it, too, without anybody knowing much about it.
	That's very important. That really is important.
	But now then, I passed the bill on cursive writing, where you had to teach cursive writing.
	I had to school boards at school.
	I ignored it. Now then, if a parent wants to, they can sue the school board for not enforcing the law.
	Our past one says they have to teach founded documents of Declaration of Independence, Constitution, Bill of Rights, so our children have a basic understanding of what our wonderful republic is.
	And so...
	We've done quite a few little things.
	But back on the chemtrails, I'm not sure.
	A lot of times you have to give...
	It's $10,000 fine, but we didn't save for that $10,000 win.
	Now, if we were to come back next year and say the local sheriff's department is going to get that $10,000...
	If they identify that plane, and they have a way of identifying it, and know where it's going to land, and the sheriff's would go after them for that $10,000.
	Oh, that'd be great.
	If you incentivize that and start to get the sheriffs to watch the skies.
	Instead of them being on the interstate, they could watch the skies to see what people are doing up there.
	That'd be a big and big one.
	That's great. I think we were probably the first state to pass a chemtrail bill.
	You know, they were doing over in Dubai, and they went overboard and had this huge flood, and just flooded out Dubai several months ago, you know.
	Yeah. They were still engineering the sky, trying to get some rain.
	They got too much rain and flooded them out.
	So, it's real.
	Yeah. I just played earlier in the program, I just played a whistleblower who used to work for the military, and she was talking about her involvement in it.
	And she was surprised when she found out that the program that she was in was doing it.
	And so, she resigned.
	She became a whistleblower. It absolutely is real.
	Well, we need more whistleblowers that we need to protect.
	I mean, we've got to protect these whistleblowers.
	Yes, I agree. In terms of farmland, one more issue that is there is people losing it.
	We've had foreign nations buying farmland.
	You've come on this program and talked about the trap of some of these tax credits on some of the farms.
	Tell us a little bit about those two things.
	Well, we passed the bill this year.
	I actually sponsored it.
	We worked on it last year, and we ended up passing it this year.
	We patterned it after Arkansas to prevent these hostile nations like China, North Korea, Venezuela, Iran from buying farmland or real estate in Tennessee.
	And we actually got it passed.
	And we patterned it after Arkansas.
	We worked closely with Arkansas and got their language.
	They had patterned theirs somewhat after Iowa.
	But it's a good start.
	We're probably going to tighten it up as time goes on.
	But... You know, that's the fact that people begin to realize this is a problem with these foreign...
	See, we can't go to China and buy land.
	You can't buy land in China.
	So why do we let them buy land here?
	Yeah, that's right. You can't even open a business in China unless you've got some Chinese Communist Party member as your business partner.
	When we were living in North Carolina, they bought Smithfield, a big, big pork processor.
	A lot of people were concerned about that.
	So, you know, part of your bill is to stop them from buying farmland as well as businesses like the Chinese bought Smithfield.
	Exactly. You know, our three big meat packers that pack 90% of our beef and pork, they're all foreign-owned.
	And then you've got Smithfield on all the big pork processing.
	So we're sitting here slowly allowing these foreign adversaries to come in and buy up our country.
	We need to wake up.
	That's amazing. If anybody has any questions for Senator Nicely, go ahead and put them up there.
	And again, Dougalug, thank you for the tips.
	Spread the word. Hit the like button.
	Thank you very much for putting that up and reminding people there on Rockfin, on anywhere that you're watching this, even if you're not watching it live.
	We'd appreciate that.
	Before we leave the farm stuff, one of the bills that they had a lot of people that were mocking what the Tennessee legislature was doing when they said, well, we know that with genetic modification, there's already been some papers published that they want to put vaccines in the food.
	People are crazy conspiracy theorists.
	But there's been a lot more of that, even since there was some before they you guys passed that bill.
	And there's been a lot more since then. Tell us a little bit about that and what the enforcement mechanism is for that.
	Well, Senator Hensley, who's a medical doctor and a really good, honest medical doctor.
	He's not controlled by Big Father.
	He's a great guy. He's one of the top conservatives in the Senate.
	He had this bill, and I spoke on the Senate floor and helped him with it.
	I've been reading about this for two or three years.
	They can genetically modify...
	This vegetable, mainly lettuce is what they're starting with.
	And then the seed from that lettuce, from then on, will have that vaccine in it, that mRNA vaccine in the lettuce.
	And it's so cheap to produce.
	Now they're talking about other things.
	So Dr. Hensley passed the bill and said, hey, if they're going to sell this stuff in Tennessee, they're going to have to label it as a drug and not a vegetable.
	Because he said, who controls the dose?
	Who's going to know if you get enough?
	Who's going to know if you get too much?
	You may be a big lettuce eater and you may overdose on mRNA.
	mRNA changes your DNA. I mean, it's a little bit.
	I mean, that's a given.
	I've read everything I could read on this stuff and it scares me.
	It really does. Oh, I agree.
	I've always said that about fluoridating the water.
	I said, okay, you can argue with the science of this as much as you want, but if you're going to dose somebody with something by putting it in the water supply, how do you control the dosage?
	And that's fundamentally the issue there with putting it in our food and the fact that they don't ever want you to stop getting whatever this is.
	Well, you know, more and more cities are taking the fluoride out of the water.
	I mean, Columbia, Tennessee, they voted to take the fluoride out recently, and they had some left over, and it was so toxic that at the disposal of the toxic waste, it was going to cost so much that they just snuck in and We're good to go.
	It's bogus thoughts. Yeah.
	Oh, yeah. Absolutely. And it's a kind of fluoride that you point out.
	It's toxic. That's one of the reasons.
	These people, it was industrial waste, and they were going to have to pay a lot of money, like you were talking about, the municipality to get rid of this stuff.
	So they came up with the idea, hey, instead of paying to get rid of this, we can sell it to the municipalities and tell them to just dump it in the water.
	And it's a good thing for you, of course.
	I think it's much better to have milk than it is to have fluoride, perhaps, right?
	Yeah. I do too.
	They say the solution is dilution, so they're just going to dilute a different water and get rid of it that way.
	But no, it's a toxic waste.
	It's a byproduct of a lot of the fertilizer industry and some other industries.
	No, it's... It's something all the time, Dave.
	It's amazing the battles we try to fight in Nashville, and we win a lot of them.
	Yeah, yeah. Well, I mean, that's really where it's, you know, so much of the stuff really has to be established, you know.
	That's why George Soros put so much money into local district attorney races and to state attorney general races, and it's why Musk said See what he's doing?
	You have a lot more effect at the local level than you do at the federal level, especially if you're talking about the presidency, but even more so than when you're talking about Congress, if you can get stuff done at the state level.
	That's why I wanted to get you on.
	You're familiar with what's going on in different states.
	You guys exchange information, and people really need to pay attention to what's going on in their state election, because that's going to have The biggest effect on your life.
	It's not a theory. Everybody lived this for the last four years.
	If things were better at the state level, if you had good people at the state level, then things were better.
	You could get ivermectin over the counter instead of having doctors and pharmacists penalized for that.
	So the state level is very important.
	Talk a little bit about eminent domain.
	You've been involved a little bit in eminent domain reform, right?
	Well, I'm a landowner and a farmer, and we pay taxes on several acres.
	And the thing that scares landowners is eminent domain.
	These cities or counties come out and say, they say, oh, that's a pretty farm.
	We make an industrial park out of that.
	So a few years ago, we passed a bill where the county commissions can't use eminent domain for an industrial park.
	This year we passed a couple of really good eminent domain bills.
	One of them says that the landowner has standing in court.
	He can take the county or the city to court and make them prove that they need it and can't buy it somewhere else.
	Then another bill we passed basically said the city has to prove that they need it.
	They have to prove they've got a plan to finish what they want to do.
	They've got to prove they've got financing ready to go.
	So they can't just buy it and keep it for a long time.
	But no one wants to sell their farm for what somebody else appraises it for.
	And I had an amendment one time that said any time the state uses eminent domain, they would have to pay three times the appraised value.
	That didn't affect roads and airports, but all the other things.
	And if they really, really need it, let them pay for it.
	I mean, and that would leave a little bit of taste in the landowner's mouth if he gave three times what it was raised at.
	And if it's that important for every taxpayer in the county, let them all chip in a few pennies and pay the guy enough to where he can relocate.
	Oh, yeah.
	Oh, yeah.
	And three of them originated in Jefferson County with the county commission.
	We've got a really good county commission right now.
	But three of them originated in the county commission.
	They sent me the resolution.
	I was able to pass it. And I should say, well, three out of the four good eminent old main bills originated right here in Jefferson County.
	Well, that's great. What about, as we've seen this type of thing, I remember when they were putting the Keystone Pipeline through, and it was being done by a Canadian corporation.
	So it was a foreign corporation.
	Of course, we had the Kello decision years ago.
	The Supreme Court said, I think it was Connecticut, they said that the state could take somebody's land for the benefit of another private individual.
	So it was not so they could build some kind of a common project like a road or something like that, but they could take it And essentially turn it over to another business that they liked better.
	That was bad enough.
	But then when you had the Keystone Pipeline, you had a situation.
	And I like the idea of the pipeline.
	The problem I had was that it was eminent domain and that they were handing the power of condemnation over to a corporation, and not just a corporation, but a Canadian.
	A foreign corporation was going to be able to come in and condemn the property that they needed for their pipeline, taking the property of a lot of people who had had their farm for many generations, 150 years in some cases.
	Is there anything like that, a prohibition against something like that in the state of Tennessee in some of these eminent domain bills?
	You know, I don't know that there is.
	If you look at a map of the pipelines in America, it looks like America has varicose veins.
	There's pipelines. They just go everywhere.
	And, you know, even though it's kind of bad, but they bury these pipelines deep enough.
	The farm over the top of them, you really never know where they are.
	They talk about something about the public good.
	We did pass a bill in Nashville that said a recreational park is not a public good.
	That means that they cannot condemn your land.
	for a recreational park.
	That was what was gonna happen up here at the hospital.
	They were gonna, because the hospital was a lot of surplus land.
	The hospital wanted the land to expand on and maybe, and the city was gonna take that for a recreational park.
	And so we passed a bill that took, it defined public good, and we took recreational parks out of that definition of public good.
	So that was a big deal.
	We worked with the county commission on that, and like I say, we've got a pretty good county commission right now and a pretty good legislature.
	That's good. I'm sorry, go ahead.
	One thing we did on this gun purchase, you know, these credit cards and banks were trying to have a special code on your transaction.
	If you bought a gun, they were going to put you on a list that you had to use a credit card to buy a gun.
	We passed a bill where they cannot do that.
	And that was...
	That's very popular with the Second Amendment guys, which Tennessee is about as friendly a Second Amendment state as you can see.
	We're just sure of putting AKs in the pre-Ks.
	That's funny. The AKs and the pre-Ks.
	Yeah, when we look at that, now when I think about financial privacy and things like that and labeling somebody because, oh, this person bought a gun, so now they're bad.
	So that's prohibited for them to...
	What is prohibited in terms of what the banks can do in terms of somebody buying a firearm?
	Because I know that Bank of America turned over a lot of...
	They did kind of geolocation of people that were there on January the 6th.
	And then they also had records of people who had used their credit card to purchase firearms.
	They turned all that stuff over to the FBI. Is there some prohibition of them reporting and tracking this stuff?
	There's a prohibition of them tracking it, right?
	so they couldn't report it. There's probation in Tennessee of them using a code that identifies that you bought a gun with. We don't want them knowing that you bought a gun.
	Of course all that would do is make gun owners use cash and I like cash. I like to keep cash alive.
	You need to use some cash. One good sunspot and these ATMs go out and you don't have any cash.
	You may need it for a few days before you get it working again. It's always good to have a little cash laid back.
	And of course, you're talking about the international code that the credit card companies use.
	That was something that came out of New York State.
	And what you guys did was you essentially nullified that here in Tennessee.
	Okay, good. In terms of debanking, because we've seen this happening now, I just talked about earlier...
	In Germany, the AFD political party, and again, I don't have much of an opinion one way or the other of the political party, but I think it is concerning to see that the German government is both debanking people who are a part of that, actually it's the political party's We're good to go.
	For banks to ban people.
	When I started the show, I was about five months into it.
	And PayPal, which is not a bank, but PayPal and Venmo that's owned by PayPal, they just shut me down with that explanation, you know, just like YouTube would.
	And so is there anything at all in Tennessee or anything in the works that would stop debanking of people?
	Because that seems to be a rising line of attack against political enemies.
	We did. We passed the bill.
	I remember it coming through Commerce.
	I can't off the top of my head explain it, but we did address debanking of individuals in Tennessee.
	I think Senator Jack Johnson carried that bill.
	I talked to him this morning, but we didn't talk about that.
	But yeah, that debanking, I mean...
	Without a reason. I mean, that's not America.
	You can't do that. I mean, you've got to get a reason to be back on.
	Well, they've got a reason they don't like you.
	They don't like your politics.
	But, you know, the other thing is that, you know, you might want to take a look at some of these entities like PayPal, who are not technically banks.
	But there might be something that would be there.
	You know, they gave that a try in terms of free speech in Florida.
	They said, well, you're not going to censor.
	I think they limited it to politicians, people running for office.
	You can't censor them as a social media company.
	The Supreme Court kind of punted on that, so it's yet to be determined as to what's exactly going to happen with that, but I think it certainly is something that is worthwhile.
	I think it might be worthwhile to do that in terms of financial freedom as well, because that's going to be far more important.
	They're being kicked off of a social media thing, although if you are in media, if you are providing information, both of them have the same effect.
	I mean, they can either shut your bank account down or they can shut your audience down with their banning, and so both of these things are pretty important, I think.
	Dealing in cash gives you a lot of financial freedom.
	Yes. They can't track you.
	They can't shut down your credit card or ATF. You know, and a lot of freedom goes along with having a little cash.
	But one thing that we were able to do, and Senator Sutherland again helped me on this, We secured the grant from the governor for the Appalachian Electric that put fiber optics in every home in Jefferson County and Granger County that is all Appalachian Electric.
	AEC, Appalachian Electric Co-op.
	They were able to run fiber optics to every home.
	You don't even have to have a Wi-Fi.
	You just run it in and plug it in your computer, hardwired and cut out all EMFs.
	In this day and age, fiber optics is just about as important as electricity.
	That's right. You can't hardly talk about it.
	And a lot of counties in this state that don't have them, there's a lot of states in America that don't have it, but the fact that Jefferson and Granger County are about 80s, Yeah, oh yeah, that's very important.
	You know, we also have a situation where the Tennessee Valley Authority is very...
	We're hell-bent on getting renewables, right?
	Wind and solar. And as a part of that, because these things don't work all the time, they have to have a battery backup.
	And they're talking about putting in these big battery energy storage sites.
	They call it BESS. Very concerning because A, the cost, and B, the fire hazard.
	It's not a theory.
	We see these things catching fire all the time.
	They've had a lot of Rivian vehicles that have caught fire.
	Of course, Rivian at Amazon charging stations.
	Amazon bought a lot of these electric delivery trucks and stuff from Rivian, and they've had a whole bunch of them catch fire as they were charging.
	And so that is a big issue.
	These energy storage sites have caught fire in Australia where Musk put one of those in.
	Is there anything at all, any concerns about that at the state level?
	Anything that is happening in terms of renewables and the additional cost?
	We realize that it's a fair push by the government.
	One thing we did in Tennessee, we said, if you're going to put in windmills, you're going to have to have a bond to tie them down, dig the concrete up out of the ground, restore it back the way it was, and dispose of these fiberglass blades properly, which there is no proper way to dispose of them.
	That's right. There is no proper way.
	So we basically stopped wind power in Tennessee by just making them put up enough money to tie it down.
	In Canada, they just abandoned a lot of it.
	You drive through the American West, And it's sickening to see the windmills out through there.
	They call them bird blenders.
	They kill my body. I've not heard of them called a bird blender, but that's pretty good.
	That is basically what they are, bird blenders.
	And these solar panels...
	Most of these solar panels will never make as much electricity as it took to build, and they could never do it without tax credits.
	So if the industry like wind power and solar, if they can't make it without tax credits, Do we really need them?
	You know, we have electric cars.
	By 1920, there were several electric car makers.
	They had beautiful cars. Some of them run 100 miles on a charge.
	There's a reason why they didn't stay.
	There's a reason why gasoline cars prevailed, and the old Detroit Electric Car Company went out of business.
	They were efficient cars, and if you want to drive them around town, But they just, in America, it's a great big place.
	You want to go somewhere. You don't want to wait 10 hours to get your battery charged.
	That's right. And he's dangerous.
	Even his e-bikes. I love an e-bike.
	I rode that e-bike in Colorado on the Nicholson Trail, and I just loved it.
	If I needed a little help, I could turn it up.
	Help me a little bit. But if you put it in your car or in your garage, that lithium battery will catch on fire and burn your house down.
	Yeah. You can't put it in your horsepower because you'll have to set your trailer on fire.
	I mean, it's scary.
	Yeah. So it's really scary when you've got a large collection of these things to back up the grid.
	And so, you know, I like what you guys did with the windmill stuff because it is a big issue.
	Those composite blades don't have any way to be recycled.
	And you wind up with these massive graveyards of them.
	And I've seen them in Europe as well.
	People doing reports of these massive graveyards of the turbine blades.
	So putting some restrictions on that and saying you're going to have to take care of the back end of this thing as well.
	And so I guess, you know, maybe something like that would be appropriate for the battery stuff.
	Well, it might be.
	It might be. You know, we We're right in the middle of the heart of Tennessee Valley Authority, but right now we are a net importer of electricity and not an exporter.
	We should be an exporter.
	We should never shut down these coal-fired plants.
	We've got coal. We've got scrubbers on it.
	We spent a billion dollars on the scrubbers that were cleaned.
	They shut them down and they're going to try to burn natural gas.
	We've got plenty of coal.
	You know, I know you're not a big fan of Trump, but Trump did say that this country is run by really, really stupid people.
	That's right. Really, really stupid people.
	That's right. You've got to give him that.
	Well, yeah, it takes one to know one sometimes, I guess.
	Yeah. But, yeah, it is...
	Well, I'm trying to think what else we've done.
	We've passed since the Republican took over 12 years ago.
	We've abolished four major taxes.
	We have huge surpluses.
	We've got $2 billion in our rainy day fund.
	We've got $75 billion invested to take care of our retirees.
	We don't know a penny on the roads.
	Texas owes $20 billion on the roads.
	We don't know a penny. Texas is full of tow roads.
	I hate a tow road. Now, the governor's trying to get some, he calls them choice lanes, but you gotta pay a tow to get on a choice lane.
	It's hard on poor people.
	It's on fire.
	And it ties our hands. Once you build a toll road beside our existing road, our hands are tied.
	We can't add another lane.
	We can't use buses on the curb.
	We can't put a high-speed rail.
	We can't do anything that competes with this toll road.
	And they're always on the foreign companies.
	Money is from Spain. Central and Spain.
	They shake us down for the rest of our lives.
	I mean, they'll skim money.
	They have a computer system that we can't understand.
	We'll never know for sure how many people went through there.
	It's a license to steal from us.
	It is. It absolutely is.
	And you know, in Texas, and we've been gone now for two years, I told the audience about a month or so ago, we got yet another toll charge sent to us.
	And you have to get on the phone with these people and hang on there with them for a half hour to tell them, I want you to prove that this was me.
	Or you pay the toll, or you let this thing accumulate till it gets up to a really large amount, and then it can get to be a serious issue.
	But you're right, it's a foreign government.
	And you're right, it comes with all these restrictions.
	As a matter of fact, in Texas, what they would do is they would add traffic lights along the feeder roads to add additional congestion to force people on the toll roads. Exactly. It's a it's a fair supply.
	It's always made for somebody's...
	It's a sweetheart deal for somebody.
	Yeah, that's right. Well, what is the status of that right now?
	I know the governor was pushing that through.
	Did he get that approved, or is that still in play?
	Well, he's got it approved.
	I'm not sure we'll ever see any toll roads.
	I'm hoping... You know, the governor's got two more years.
	I'm hoping the next governor's like me and doesn't like toll roads.
	You know, the...
	I think it's un-American.
	You know, in old Europe, by the time America was started, in Europe, you hadn't been told from one county to the next.
	And when America was created, it was the largest free trade zone in the world had ever seen.
	That's right. And there's nothing about the free trade zone.
	Well, these toll roads, they're not, I mean, that's what the owners are told. I mean, you just have to, you have to pay it to go somewhere else. And they say, well, you don't have to use it. Well, if it's a pretty good road there, you got to use it.
	That's right. I've seen how this works in New York.
	My wife is from New York and we would go up there to visit family and they just keep going up and up and up in price and they get to be incredibly expensive.
	And so, yeah, I do hope that it doesn't happen.
	One of the things when I was looking at Tennessee, in terms of moving here, one of only 14 states that didn't have toll roads, so I hope it stays that way.
	Let's talk a little bit about, before we run out of time, let's talk a little bit about a state bank, and of course, you've talked about this in the past, you said a lot of banks don't really understand that a state bank like they had in, I think it was North Dakota, It was not a competition, but an assistance to the banks.
	And you had a brilliant relabeling for it.
	You called it the Tennessee Reserve System, because that really does explain to the bankers really more the function of it.
	What is the status of that?
	Tell us a little bit about that. Well, it's like a lot of things.
	It takes years to educate enough people and get enough people interested.
	But I think our Constitution pretty much says that we can't have a state bank.
	But we're going to work around.
	And the only way I see it working, if these state chartered banks...
	Would go together and buy stock and put a state central bank owned by the state charter banks and let this bank have our money, keep it, have a depository there for gold and silver if you want to put your gold and silver in the depository.
	Gold and silver is about the only thing that maintains your purchasing power through the years.
	We were real close this last year to getting a State Department story.
	I went to Texas and toured the one in Texas, and they do a great job down there.
	Other states are looking at it.
	You know, you have a 1929.
	I was raised in the shadow of the Great Depression.
	I was born, and the Depression was still going on.
	I mean, the war was just over.
	I considered a war baby in the beginning.
	Now they call it a baby boomers, but for years they called us war babies.
	And All the old-timers talked about 1929 and how it destroyed everything.
	And if we had a 1929 event right now, our money would be worthless.
	And the only people that would have any purchasing power would be the people that had a little silver and gold laid back somewhere.
	And you'd be surprised how many people out here in the country have some silver and gold.
	And there's three precious metals.
	You add lead to that.
	They do buy ammunition. Silver, gold, and lead are three precious metals.
	My friend, the best is.
	But, you know, a 1929 event, I mean, people don't realize what happened in 29.
	It was, my grandfather had three brothers.
	There's two of them lost everything to have two of them.
	Didn't owe any money and they they make small fortunes during depression.
	Basically, I guess it'll be the fence.
	But what I'm saying is there's no guarantee we won't have another 1929 event.
	Yeah.
	So I have a small percentage of our state savings and silver and gold is a pretty good age.
	There's no downside.
	You always sell it.
	You need it.
	And it's never gone to zero.
	Silver and gold.
	And so that's something you've been active in, in terms of trying to get the state of Tennessee to put some of its reserve funds.
	And of course, they have a surplus, thanks to the Republican Congress that's been there.
	You guys have done a great job with that.
	When we talk about the Great Depression, we go back and we look at the history in North Dakota.
	They were able to weather that better than most of the states.
	They were able to pay, for example, some state employees, which other states were not able to do.
	They would give you an IOU or something like that.
	They were able to do it largely because they did have a state bank that was there.
	So it's not like what we're trying to do is try to decentralize things, isn't it?
	Isn't that the real purpose of having these depositories and having a state bank is to try as kind of a decentralized hedge against Federal Reserve mismanagement, right?
	That's right. Ellen Brown and Kevin Austin Fitz, two wonderfully smart ladies that talk about this, and they basically say the only way we can get out from under the stranglehold of the Federal Reserve without revolution or a great depression is for these banks to slowly start getting their own little state banks.
	That can be a deposit for the state.
	Cash of checks. Like you say, they don't compete with the little banks.
	They support the little banks.
	North Dakota have more banks and credit unions per capita than any other state.
	And they've had state banks since 19 and 19.
	Now then, if you try to start a state-backed federal, they're secretly putting lobbyists in here, and they, you know, against it, and they say, oh, no, you're stupid to do that, blah, blah, blah.
	But you just have to ignore them and have some leadership and keep moving forward.
	but I'd say Tennessee is a well-run state. We've been denied by some of our neighbors being heavily at least barefooted, you know, AC, what's the other thing. But somehow or another, we've managed to take care of our money. Well, I see a lot of wisdom there in the experience that you've had and a lot of people there in Tennessee, and I do think it is a very well-run state.
	I've lived in several different ones.
	I really do like what I've seen here in Tennessee better than any other place, and you're one of the key reasons that I think it's working there.
	Before we run out of time, we only got about two minutes left.
	Real quickly, anything happening with CBDC one way or the other?
	Central Bank Digital. Well, there's not as much talk as there was.
	I have a feeling it's still pushed.
	There's still a big push to go forward with it.
	People caught on to it pretty quick, different states, and they're pushing back.
	I think they realized that would be the ultimate.
	If they pushed this central bank digital currency on us, we would basically be a digital slave.
	Yep, that's right. And they would control everything that we do.
	We couldn't buy ammunition.
	Maybe you couldn't buy meat.
	They might decide that's hard on the environment, climate change, and you can't buy beef.
	I mean, it's...
	And it took me a long time to realize that there is a globalist movement, a sinister bunch of dominant men that try to control the whole world.
	But they can't do it as long as America is free.
	And the fly in the ointment is the American South.
	They say the American South is the fly in the ointment for the globalists.
	And of course, Tennessee is the crown jewel of the American South.
	That's right. And it is local.
	For the longest time, they said, well, think, scheme, globally, but you've got to act locally.
	And so that's really where we cut the legs off of this thing.
	That's where the rubber meets the road is at the state level.
	That's why the state elections are so important.
	And so I wanted to have Senator Nicely on because the elections are coming up here in Tennessee.
	But wherever you are...
	The most important election is going to be the state and local elections.
	And we all saw this in 2024.
	It's not a theory.
	It's for real. And I've been hearing the Democrats.
	They understand what this is.
	Soros understands it. Musk understands it.
	These people have made a lot of money through operating with the government.
	So they understand how it works.
	Thank you so much, Senator Nicely.
	Thank you for everything that you do.
	And good luck to you in this coming election.
	Thank you. I appreciate it and encourage everyone to get out and vote on August the 1st.
	Thank you very much, Senator Franklin.
	Thank you. Let me tell you, The David Knight Show, you can listen to with your ears.
	You can even watch it by using your eyes.
	In fact, if you can hear me, that means you're listening to The David Knight Show right now.
	Yeah. Good job.
	And you want to know something else?
