	you
	using free speech to free minds you're listening to the David night show
	as the clock strikes 13 it's Monday the 15th of July, year of our Lord 2024.
	Well, it was a slow news weekend, but we'll try to make do with what we got.
	Yeah, we're going to talk about what happened with the shooting, with the Secret Service, with the Trump as our savior.
	Wayne Allen Root is back at it again.
	And gun control. We'll talk about God's providence.
	We'll talk about the one-man civil war.
	We'll talk about the convention that's going to begin this evening.
	And the VP Apprentice sweepstakes.
	But when we come back, we're going to begin with the victim.
	Stay with us, we'll be right back.
	This is a test.
	Well, let me begin by saying thank you to everyone who prayed for
	Karen.
	I put it out on Twitter.
	A guard saw it.
	He had people on Liberty Conspiracy.
	We're talking, praying about that.
	I really do appreciate that.
	I'll give you an update on her condition.
	It's good news.
	Thank you very much for praying.
	And we'll talk about that.
	We'll talk about providence and God's providence and what...
	Welcome to my show! What is really happening here?
	As we've got so many people saying, oh, well, like it shows that Trump is God's chosen one.
	Well, it's not always that obvious or easy to direct things, is it?
	But let's begin by the victim.
	And, of course, the man who was killed.
	And we have two people who were wounded in critical condition.
	We don't even know their names yet.
	That may be, maybe it's withheld by law enforcement officials.
	I was absolutely stunned in talking about it yesterday afternoon, just shortly before they did release his name.
	I said, isn't it interesting, all the back and forth about Trump, who was not hit, but nothing at all about the real victims.
	And now we know the man's name, and when we were talking about it, Travis said, if Trump were smart...
	He would give a big donation to this family.
	And I said, he'll never do that.
	He's too greedy.
	And they haven't.
	Instead, you're getting headlines praising him from the conservative right that he set up a GoFundMe.
	GoFundMe. And they set up a goal of a million dollars.
	They've now gotten two million dollars.
	Coming from Trump supporters.
	But it's always other people pay for what he does.
	It's always the way that it is.
	The man will never part with a dime.
	You'll pay for his campaign.
	You will pay for his activities on January the 6th.
	You'll give him money and then you'll show up and you will be paying for it in many different ways.
	So the Trump campaign... Put up a GoFundMe.
	And I said they'll bring the family in and they'll put them up in front of the stage.
	And Trump will raise money off of that as well.
	Total number of donations reached $27,900.
	According to the website, the top donation was listed as $50,000.
	But not Trump.
	Not Trump. The billionaire is not going to put any money into that pot.
	Trump has authorized this account as a place for donations, said the campaign.
	Isn't that great? Yeah, they authorized a place for donations.
	And I guess we can trust that he'll turn the money over.
	I don't know. Anyway, two other attendees are critically injured.
	No names, no one cares.
	Just like, how many millions of people did Trump kill with his shot?
	Now the Trump shot means something else.
	How many millions of people killed and disabled?
	Oh, we just go about business.
	As a matter of fact, he brags about it.
	Yeah, look at that. I missed that.
	That bullet missed me. I must be something really special.
	And, of course, the shot, the sugar water, missed him as well.
	If he ever did take it, it probably was sugar water for him.
	The Trump meme coin has now spiked 52%.
	He'll make tens of millions of dollars, folks, off of the merchandise, the picture, the photo op that he staged.
	And I say he staged it, and I'll tell you why I say he staged it.
	We got audio reports of it.
	No, no, no, no, wait, wait, wait, let's do this, you know, that type of thing.
	He knew exactly what he's doing.
	The guy is a master of PR. That's why he's there.
	But the merchandise is going to be huger than the mugshot was.
	And I'll be very surprised if a penny of his merchandise millions goes to any of the victims of a shooting on Saturday.
	The largest Trump meme coin, something called MAGA Trump, surged over 30%.
	The Ethereum-based MAGA meme coin spiked rapidly from $6.31 to $10.36.
	Its total market capitalization jumped from $293 million to $469 million in less than 45 minutes.
	It tells us something about the psychological effect of what Trump is able to pull off with a photo op afterwards.
	Other Trump meme coins also rallied on the news.
	Solana-based meme coin Trimp jumped more than 63% in the hour following the news, while another meme coin dubbed MAGA Hat briefly spiked 21% in the same time frame.
	I know I sound very negative, and I am.
	There isn't anything that's going to happen to that man that's going to make me change my opinion about what he did to the Constitution, to this country, and to the tens of millions of people globally that he killed.
	And bragged about it.
	Continually bragged about it.
	Even when the sucker fish in the media were saying, don't talk about it, don't talk about it, don't tell people, you shouldn't be proud.
	We all know you killed people.
	He can't stop talking about it.
	So I can't stop talking about it either.
	He's proud of his crimes.
	So, we'll see.
	Right away, I put up, I said, well, how long is it going to take for Trump to call for gun control?
	Again. I put again in all uppercase.
	Well, I got a lot of hate tweets from that.
	How dare you?
	You're just a Trump basher.
	You're damn right I'm a Trump basher.
	I'm going to keep bashing that mass murderer.
	What's the matter with you that you don't care?
	What's the matter with you?
	Yeah, I'm proud to be a Trump basher.
	I'm not going to follow this guy.
	No way. What is the matter with these people in America?
	Don't they understand what he did in 2020?
	At the beginning? At the end?
	And the people who worked with him, they're still listening to these people?
	He's a one-man civil war.
	He upped this rhetoric.
	He went from frank and candid to vile and vicious.
	And now everybody who follows him is doing it.
	Because it's so hip. Well...
	You know, we've always had war metaphors and things.
	And we've always talked things like that.
	But all these calls for revenge, revenge, revenge.
	From people like Bannon, people like Posobiec, people like Alex, and Trump especially.
	And boy, that fight, fight, fight.
	It was right there.
	Is he a hero? I don't see him as a hero.
	You know what a hero does?
	A hero runs into a burning building, risking his life to save other people.
	A hero runs into a school when there's shooting going on, but a school officer at Parkland didn't go in.
	That's why I've said so many times that if you want to protect kids, what you do is you arm teachers, because then at that point, they come into the classroom, the teacher is not a hero.
	The teacher is trying to defend the teacher's life.
	And the kids who were right there with him.
	But, you know, when you act in self-defense, that's not heroism.
	It's heroism when you act on behalf of other people and you put your life at risk with other people.
	Now, Trump ducked as any rational person would.
	I'm not blaming him for ducking.
	But he didn't stand up and say, come on, take your best shot.
	He didn't shake his fist at the person and say, fight, fight, fight.
	No, he ducked. And then when it was all clear...
	You can hear the transcript.
	It's all clear. Wait a minute, wait a minute.
	Can I get my shoes? Let me get my shoes.
	Okay, don't go yet.
	Don't go yet. And then he does the fight, fight, fight.
	It's all clear. Shooter's down, and you can hear all that stuff coming in on the recording.
	The mic was still live, and the video was up, and you can hear all of that happening.
	He knows that there's no shooter.
	Oh, these people are so brave, and we've got so many people in media and entertainment.
	Oh yeah, you pick a fight with Trump, you've got to fight with me, and all the rest of this stuff.
	Nonsense. Nonsense.
	Comparing him to Teddy Roosevelt.
	Give me a break.
	Anyway, speculators on Ethereum-based prediction market, polymarket.
	Trump's odds of clinching a victory in the upcoming election jumped from 60% to 68% immediately after.
	Crypto, like the stock market, is just gambling, so it makes sense that they would jump in on this, because look, we're months out.
	Nothing in this cycle is normal.
	Nothing. No primaries, no debates.
	One pseudo-debate...
	A month and a half before the convention.
	Things like, you know, the Democrat convention.
	All these different things that are happening here.
	There's a lot of tricks up their sleeves still.
	I think it's impossible to predict.
	I'm still sticking to my prediction, however, that it'll be Biden against Trump.
	Biden's predicted odds of winning re-election fell from 30 to 15%.
	Trump, formerly a skeptic of cryptocurrencies, who said on multiple occasions that Bitcoin was a scam, now has changed his tune.
	He's actually going to be speaking at a Bitcoin conference.
	Because even though he was a Ginnett before, now he's for it because he flip-flops on everything.
	Is the...
	If only the crypto people had a physical coin to flip to see what Trump was going to do next about their issue.
	And then you can also talk about abortion, or you can talk about the border, you can talk about guns.
	Pick an issue. Pick an issue.
	Conservative, liberal, the traditional ones.
	And then when it comes to the new issues, things like CBDC, Do you believe for a moment that he's on the right side?
	He did everything that the globalists wanted in 2020.
	Everything. Everything.
	So, yeah, if only these crypto people had a coin they could flip, they'd be doing well.
	The morally bankrupt mainstream media couldn't even admit it was an assassination attempt.
	Yeah, it truly was amazing how long it took for them to acknowledge that it was an assassination attempt, and many people have put the memes up.
	I'm sure you've seen him. I'm sure you've seen even Babylon Bee laughing about it, you know, saying the way the mainstream media reported it, you know, JFK bumped his head on a bullet or something like that.
	But these are the real headlines.
	You can't out-satire CNN and MSNBC. CNN. Trump injured an incident at a Pennsylvania rally.
	Or a Secret Service rushes Trump off the stage after he falls at a rally.
	He's feeble. He fell.
	MSNBC ascribed all the commotion to popping sounds.
	Said it startled the former president, and evidently that's what made him fall.
	He was startled by popping sounds.
	Secret Service says Trump is saved after being rushed off by Pennsylvania stage after gunshot-like sounds, even.
	They were real reluctant.
	To say that it was a shot.
	And this is after he stands up and he's got the blood running down his face after being shot in the air.
	But here's the point.
	As unconcerned as mainstream media was about Trump, all the media was unconcerned about the victims.
	And again, why should we be?
	These people are non-essential, right?
	They're like you and me. They're non-essential.
	Trump is essential.
	And we should care about the leader's ear.
	Well, it reminds me of Woody Allen's Bananas, where the leader was blown up and the only thing that was left was his ear.
	Kind of the opposite of this.
	Of course, I don't think his ear was blown up, but kind of the opposite of it.
	And at one point, the Woody Allen character goes in and they've got the ear there because they're going to re-clone their leader.
	And he runs in, he grabs the ear, and he holds the gun to it, and he holds the ear hostage.
	You remember that? Anyway, that was back when Woody Allen was funny.
	It's kind of hard to laugh at that guy.
	It's kind of hard to watch him, kind of hard to laugh at him, kind of hard to watch any of the Kevin Spacey movies, even though he had some great movies.
	But let's talk a little bit about the victim.
	This is what his daughter wrote.
	Yesterday, she said, time stopped.
	And when it started again, my family and I started living a real nightmare.
	What was supposed to be an exciting day that we'd all look forward to, especially my dad, turned into the most traumatizing experience one could imagine.
	I know the media will cover this event, and I'm going to try my best to stay away from looking at everything, especially because I've already seen and lived through it in real time.
	But I want everyone to know what the media will not cover.
	What the media will not say about her father.
	You know, it's kind of interesting.
	We've seen tens of millions of people die.
	What is it that we see the media not say?
	They will point at anything other than the shot.
	Isn't it amazing? With all the people who died from the Trump shot, and just one more, Because this is really about the man who is a one-man civil war and all these suckerfish media who have pushed this stuff as well.
	Oh, well, if Trump is going to escalate the rhetoric, I've got to go even further to get more attention and more clickbait stuff.
	She said he was the best dad a girl could ever ask for.
	I think many people whose fathers and mothers and children were killed by this Trump shot would say the same.
	My sister and I never needed anything.
	You call, he would answer.
	He would do whatever you needed.
	And if he didn't know how, he would figure out how to do it.
	He could talk and make friends with anyone, which he was doing all day yesterday, and he loved every minute of it.
	He was a man of God, loved Jesus fiercely, and also looked after our church and our members as family.
	The media will not tell you that he died a real life superhero.
	They're not going to tell you how quickly he threw my mom and I to the ground.
	They're not going to tell you that he shielded my body from the bullet that came at us.
	He loved his family. He loved us truly enough to take a real bullet for us.
	And I want nothing more than to cry on him and to tell him thank you.
	I want nothing more than to wake up and for this tonight be a reality for me and my family.
	We lost a selfless, loving husband, father, brother, uncle, son, friend.
	I will never stop thinking about him and mourning over him until the day I die too.
	July 13th will be forever a day that changed my life.
	I will never be the same person I was less than 24 hours ago.
	There are a lot of children out there that say that their dad is a hero, but my dad really is.
	I don't think I would be here today without him.
	Dad, I love you so much.
	I know that God is proud.
	you We'll be right back.
	♪♪♪
	Defending the American Dream.
	American Dream.
	You're listening to The David Knight Show.
	If he was doing his job, I wouldn't even be doing this as I get some beautiful places across the ocean.
	Look, they're all pointing. Yeah, someone's on top of the roof.
	Look. There he is right there.
	Right there. See him? He's laying down.
	You see him? Yeah, he's laying down.
	And son, I'm here with you.
	Notice how long this is going on.
	...because we have millions and millions of people in our country that shouldn't be here.
	Dangerous people. Criminals.
	We have criminals. Come up here.
	He's on the roof.
	He's locked. Right here.
	He's locked on the roof.
	He's locked on the roof.
	Well, and of course, that went on for quite some time.
	They got some police to respond.
	Went up a ladder. He pointed the gun at the policeman.
	Went back down the ladder. Took his shots.
	But even before that, as many people pointed out, what is going on with this?
	How in the world was this rooftop not occupied?
	Not watched? Two sources told NBC News that the Secret Service flagged this building as a security concern.
	No one was guarding it.
	No one was watching it.
	Someone should have been on the roof or securing the building so that no one could get on the roof, said one of these two sources, a former senior Secret Service agent who was familiar with planning.
	And of course, you've seen the meme going around.
	Why wasn't there Secret Service on the roof?
	They said, well, you can't have the Secret Service and the CIA on the same roof, that type of thing.
	We'll talk about some of the conspiracy theories coming up.
	But let's just focus on what we see right now.
	The obvious stuff.
	The most obvious. The Secret Service worked with law enforcement to maintain event security, including sniper teams poised on rooftops to identify and eliminate threats.
	Well, they didn't put anybody on this one that was only about 150 yards away.
	No officers, however, were posted on this building, used by the would-be assassin.
	By the way, I haven't been in the military, but I thought it was interesting that 150 yards is what they used to qualify people in basic training.
	Get 150 yards away, shoot at a man-sized target.
	Secret Service had designated that rooftop as being under the jurisdiction of law enforcement.
	See, it's not my job. I gave it to them.
	Well, no, it's all your job, actually.
	The county district attorney, his name is Richard Goldfinger.
	I saw that and was like, okay.
	Anyway, it's...
	The Secret Service agents were in charge of security outside the venue.
	He said they had meetings in the week prior the Secret Service ran the show.
	They were the ones who designated who did what, said Goldfinger.
	In the command hierarchy, they were the top.
	They were number one. They were the ones who were organizing it.
	We're just doing what they say. He said they had a couple of teams that were there.
	They had an emergency services unit.
	They had four sniper teams.
	Isn't that interesting? A small county like that's got four sniper teams.
	What's that telling you about our government?
	Goldfinger said the commander of the Emergency Services Unit told him it was not responsible for securing areas outside the venue.
	To me, the whole thing is under the jurisdiction of the Secret Service.
	And they will delineate from there, he said.
	A former Secret Service agent, or one of the sources that they had, the former Secret Service agent, said just because it's outside of the perimeter doesn't take it out of play for a vulnerability.
	And you have to mitigate it in some fashion.
	Well, I don't know how the perimeter isn't within 150 yards.
	That's not the perimeter.
	My question is, said a former Secret Service agent who worked on protective details for presidential candidates, including John Kerry in 2004, he said, my question is, how did he get onto that roof undetected?
	Well, the agent's name is Congolosi.
	Secret Service's work on campaign events like Saturday's begins with advanced planning, setting up a security perimeter, positioning teams on the ground, on the rooftops, often in partnership with local law enforcement.
	The ground deployments include counter-assault team.
	The rooftop personnel include counter-sniper teams.
	And so, if officials had placed an officer in the building where the gunman fired, Kangalosi said, chances are he wouldn't have even attempted what he attempted.
	And of course, innocent people wouldn't have been shot.
	One dad would not be dead now, if the Secret Service had done their work.
	You don't surrender the discretion of what's supposed to be done to local police, he said.
	And then a retired special agent from the BATF, who has also worked on Secret Service details, told NBC. He said, well, the Secret Service did a good job taking out the gunmen after the shots began.
	Did they? I'll show you a picture of this.
	The failure to post officers on the building that he scaled was a tremendous lapse.
	The only way to stop that is if you've got a lot of people, and you get there first, and you command the high ground.
	This is basic. The Secret Service has done it for years successfully.
	So I'm really surprised that they didn't have the high ground covered, he said.
	We're starting to see everything in our society coming apart, aren't we?
	When you have, whether you're talking about Boeing or you're talking about the Secret Service, the wheels are coming off.
	And we know why. We know why the wheels are coming off, because it's DEI stuff.
	Just compare these bodyguards.
	Okay, here's Putin's bodyguards.
	Okay. Pretty young.
	Presumably fit. They look like they're pretty fit.
	Okay. Here's Trump's bodyguards.
	There we go.
	Not too large, not too fit.
	Female. In other words, Secret Service before and after DEI. And so a lot of people are putting that meme up.
	And we know exactly what is happening with this.
	We've had a lot of failures from the Secret Service.
	And of course, this is just a few of them.
	Remember, it goes back quite some time, people getting into the White House and things like that.
	This has been going on for quite some time.
	During Vice President-elect Lala Harris, they drove her by an undetected bomb.
	They refused extra resources for a presidential candidate.
	They admitted an agent on a White House detail assaulted her supervisor.
	Now, those are the minor things.
	We've had a lot of failures from the Secret Service.
	Secret Service agents reportedly were even circulating a petition raising questions about their management a few weeks ago.
	Eric, thank you very much on Roxanne.
	Thank you for the tip.
	I appreciate that very much.
	Witnesses say they started to yell that the man had a gun before he started shooting.
	You've just heard that. Several lawmakers say they're now investigating reports that the Trump campaign had requested additional security resources recently and was turned down.
	Well, we know somebody who was turned down completely.
	That's RFK Jr.
	How could you have somebody on the rooftop?
	Said Steve Scalise, who himself was shot at that baseball game.
	Remember that? He said there are reports that people watched him climb up the roof, even alerted authorities, and we're going to be looking into that.
	Well, there's plenty of videos of people shouting, pointing, trying to get the police to do something.
	Didn't that have radios?
	Okay, so the guy pointed a gun at you?
	You're just going to go down the ladder?
	At least pull the gun out and shoot it in the air if you don't want to stick your head up over the edge of the thing.
	alert people, or shoot down at the ground, and since shots are fired, that'd get people's alert. Anyway, extreme incompetence, wrote Musk, or it was deliberate. Either way...
	you you
	Okay, I think we're back here.
	We had a power glitch, and I apologize.
	We should have a UPS that is taken care of, but I'm not running the Secret Service.
	I can barely run a show.
	But we're just talking about the incompetence there, and then our incompetence got the rug pulled out from underneath us.
	We should know that the power is going to go up and down, I guess.
	Anyway, so we have the Secret Service.
	And they have said that the Oversight Committee will send a formal invitation soon to Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheadle.
	Just impeach her.
	Don't engrave a formal invitation.
	Just impeach her. Let the Senate go through the details as part of the trial there.
	But again, it's so extremely incompetent that a lot of people are reluctant to actually believe that this is what happened.
	But you should believe it.
	As a matter of fact, this has been her goal.
	DEI has been the focus of everything in the Biden administration.
	It's a common theme throughout the Biden administration.
	Such massive incompetence that you have to wonder if it's actually malice.
	Here she is talking about what her objectives are as director of the Secret Service.
	To expand hiring, they're aiming to have 30% women recruits by 2030.
	They even allowed YouTube influencer Michelle Carey to train with a...
	I'm very conscious, as I sit in this chair now, of making sure that we need to...
	Attract diverse candidates and ensure that we are developing and giving opportunities to everybody in our workforce, and particularly women.
	Yeah, because, I mean, you know, nothing is more important.
	Your job is to get women jobs.
	Your job isn't, you know, building an airplane, manufacturing it safely, protecting the president.
	No, your job is to get people, you know, DEI people in.
	People who did not earn it.
	You've got to get them jobs, like this.
	There's a couple of the DEI hires.
	Look at that. Got three women there.
	Yeah, there you go.
	I think maybe they had more than 30% there guarding Trump.
	Of course, that was a recent interview as well.
	It's funny how all three of the women are just flailing around.
	Wait a second. I can't hear you. Your mic's not on.
	You got it? Got your mic?
	So is it malice or massive incompetence?
	Well, Eric Prince, we've got some issues with Eric Prince at Blackwater, but he gives a detailed assessment of it, and he's absolutely right.
	Very concise from somebody who's been there who knows it.
	Again, everything that the Biden administration does, Is hamstrung by their prioritizing of DEI along sexual lines, racial lines, and gender lines, and all the rest of this stuff.
	That is their number one job.
	Everything else is secondary or tertiary, or if they even consider it.
	And so it gets to the point where when you have that kind of continued incompetence, at what point does this willful neglect become malice?
	That's the question. He said on X, Princeton, he said, hopefully after the tragedy, we can all recognize that unaccountable, bloated bureaucracies continue to fail us as Americans.
	But you see, all of the District of Columbia is that way.
	The presidency presides over all of these bloated bureaucracies, and Trump didn't unbloat any of it.
	He didn't puncture any of these pufferfishes over there.
	Pufferfish. Trump is alive today solely due to bad wind estimate, he said, by an evil would-be assassin.
	As the graphics show, the full value of wind of just five miles an hour was enough to displace the unconfirmed but likely light 55-grain bullet two inches from Donald J. Trump's intended forehead to his ear.
	Okay, well, maybe that's the case.
	That'd be a naturalistic explanation.
	I'm not saying that Trump is the Messiah, that he's God's chosen or anointed, but God has determined who will rise and who will fall.
	God puts people in place.
	God takes people down.
	God is sovereign over everything in creation, whether it is a wind or whether it is a bullet.
	And so, the bottom line is, we can look at this guy, and this is a kid who failed to even, when he went for the rifle team in his school, he was so bad, he missed it so far, they thought he was really dangerous, and they said, don't come back.
	Anybody else probably would have been able to hit the target from that close a distance because, again, you've got to do that in order to get out of basic training.
	So it is really on the Secret Service.
	The law enforcement sniper, he says, is unclear if this person was Secret Service or if this was local law enforcement, but we're going to show you this video here in just a moment.
	He says, was clearly overwhelmed as his face came off of his rifle instead of doing his job to kill the shooter.
	Clearly they were watching the shooter, but apparently they had no first shot policy.
	In other words, it wasn't enough as these guys are looking through their scopes.
	He's looking at somebody. He's got a high-powered sniper rifle, and he's only 150 yards away.
	But obviously when he sees it, he's startled, and his face comes off.
	Maybe he's got to radio in and ask for permission to do something.
	Not given permission to take the guy out.
	The only positive action was an apparent 488-yard shot by a Secret Service sniper, which dispatched the assassin.
	But after the assassin had launched at least five rounds, wounding Trump and killing and severely injuring others in the crowd.
	So, again, here is the clip.
	And take a look at this clip.
	It truly is astounding. I play it at regular speed, and we play it slower so you can see what is happening.
	And now he's looking through the scope.
	If you want to really see something that said...
	And it comes off and you hear the shots.
	A whole bunch of shots.
	Now you don't see... Now here it is slower.
	If you want to really see something that said...
	Take a look what happened.
	Okay, well there you go.
	So, Harps, and I trust Harps more than I trust Eric Prince.
	He says, the wind ain't coming into play at that distance.
	This bloke with a 300 WM on the tripod is a joke.
	Yeah, he backed off. He didn't do anything.
	Somebody else shot it.
	According to this report, there was somebody who was about 500 yards away.
	Even though he's only 150 yards away, somebody that's 500 yards away shot him.
	But evidently, it was also a joke that they were not given permission to shoot.
	You got a guy laying on the roof, pointing a gun at the president.
	I don't know. It might be a possible incident here, sir.
	Can I do something about it?
	When looking at the circumstances in favor of Thomas Crooks, the identified alleged suspect, It's hard to see how this guy failed.
	Almost every Secret Service security protocol seems to have been ignored, allowing him easy access to the perfect shooting position.
	The rooftop used by Crooks was only 140 yards away from the event.
	With a clear line of sight to the right of Trump, he's even closer, 10 yards closer than what they have to do in basic training.
	Those familiar with precision shooting.
	Know that any shot within 300 yards is considered easy for a moderately trained rifleman.
	With the right caliber, an expert can hit a torso-sized target consistently at 1,000 yards or more.
	At 140 yards, any amateur should be able to hit a pie-plate-sized target with little difficulty, even without a magnified optic.
	But, of course, he's not just any amateur.
	He's a really bad amateur.
	The Secret Service is supposed to secure all obvious sniper perches well before the arrival of the protectee.
	The idea of Crooks being able to get that close with an elevated position on the stage is unthinkable.
	Finally, there is the dismal lack of response time.
	Thomas Crooks climbed up the building rooftop with his rifle at least three minutes before he started shooting.
	They claim they tried to warn police secret service agents to no avail.
	That's the thing I don't understand.
	We've got radios.
	You can make some noise.
	You can do anything. And again, the incompetence is so astounding across the board in every aspect.
	That's what has people saying.
	Maybe this thing was a setup.
	I'm not going to...
	I think it's too soon to say that.
	I think that we have been trained by the CIA to To dismiss everything that happens as a crisis actor staged event.
	And I think that that is part of their deception, to do that with people.
	I think it's also just as easy to understand that when you bring in this woman from Pepsi, that's where she was a CEO. Of course, she had had a couple of decades experience as a Secret Service agent.
	Probably in the bureaucracy.
	Probably was given her position because of DEI. So now we have second generation DEI. The DEI hires, hiring the DEIs and expanding it.
	Now we're going to make a third of the Secret Service.
	Well, let's just make it, you know, what is a percentage of women to men?
	And let's just make it that. And we really don't care whether they can do the job or not.
	I mean, look at those women.
	We were talking about this yesterday.
	How are they going to shield somebody that's so much bigger than they are?
	Like Trump. They're supposed to be able to shield with their body.
	They're supposed to be in good shape, and you can see they're not in good shape.
	But they're supposed to be able to shield him.
	I don't know how that works.
	But I do know how DEI works.
	She has been the current director of the Secret Service since September of 2022.
	She had 27 years in the Secret Service.
	She finished up there as assistant director of the Office of Protective Operations, which doesn't mean that she knows anything about protecting people.
	She could have been a paper pusher.
	We really don't know.
	But quite frankly, the situation speaks for itself.
	And we need to understand that when they have everything stepped down, the American government especially, but all of America, because this cancer of DEI has worked its way out into every institution.
	Just like Marxism, which is what DEI ultimately is, where it's coming from.
	It has marched through the institutions in a long march.
	And we can see the results of this everywhere.
	But there's something else that is going on.
	And John Whitehead at the Rutherford Institute put his finger on it precisely.
	He said, if you're going to have total control, if you're going to normalize totalitarianism, you have to have weaponized psyops.
	And so, a large part of this is whether or not this shooting was real.
	The very fact that everybody is so quick to jump into conspiracy theories, to false flags, all the rest of the stuff, I think that it shows that their psyops have been very successful.
	They've created a pervasive atmosphere of fear, suspicion, and we should be suspicious of the government.
	But they have cultivated all this stuff.
	But let me tell you, the worst of it is right in front of your eyes.
	As John Whitehead said, the biggest mistake I see is people waiting for a big sign to tell them that things have gone too far.
	He said one big thing, and actually he's quoting a Nigerian writer, one big thing that police or lawmakers or the president or leaders will do that will cross the line.
	But it'll never come.
	Because they won't cross it.
	They'll move the line rather than crossing it.
	That line you think you stand behind is shifting every day with little action, little actions, little bills, little legislations.
	That line will stop moving one day and it will be too late.
	Every day your sensitivity is being eroded by these willful atrocities.
	The envelope for what you will accept is being pushed.
	And one day all these new things will be your new normal.
	How do you get people to do X, right?
	How do you get people in October 2019 at the Milken Institute?
	The guy asked Fauci, how do you get everybody to take an experimental vaccine that nobody has ever done before and get them to do it without any testing, waiting for decades, anything?
	Fauci said, you do it from the inside.
	You do it with disruption.
	And you do it iteratively.
	All of this stuff, the mistrust, the inside jobs, some of them real, some of them imagined, all of this has been done iteratively.
	They prepared for the pandemic iteratively.
	They rehearsed it for decades.
	So as Whitehead said, the U.S. government is working to reshape the country in the image of a totalitarian state.
	And it is very important for them to have these assassinations or assassination attempts.
	They have to create that culture of fear.
	People have to come begging to them.
	Come on. We need more surveillance.
	We need more vetting.
	We need more of all this stuff.
	We've got to be safe.
	Do you remember when, I can't remember the guy's name, he went to Newsmax.
	He was working at Fox at the time.
	And when they had the Charlie Hebdo shootings in Paris, where you had the Muslim terrorists came in and shot up the cartoonists because they had done a cartoon satire of Muhammad.
	And he started saying, everybody's talking about a police state.
	I want more of a police state.
	That's what they want.
	They want people like him.
	This has remained true over the past 50 plus years, no matter which political party has held office, which one is supposedly in charge.
	In the midst of the partisan furor over Project 2025, a 920-page roadmap for how to refashion the government to favor so-called conservative causes, both the right and the left have proven themselves woefully naive about the dangers posed by the power-hungry deep states.
	As a matter of fact, I was going to talk about this in depth before this happened today.
	Project 2025.
	It lays out some fundamental core conservative positions that have been around since Reagan.
	As a matter of fact, in their defense, that's what the Heritage Foundation is saying.
	This is just stuff that we've said since Reagan.
	And guess what? Because of this persistent iterative change, the chaos from inside, we have existential threats from our government that weren't there 45 years ago with Reagan.
	And to focus on what Reagan said is the big problem with conservatism.
	They don't pay attention to where we really are.
	Nobody is addressing the existential issues that are threatening our existence from the federal government.
	Nobody's talking about how to shut these things down.
	At most, they get a cursory mention.
	Oh, yeah, I know about that problem.
	What are you going to do about it? Well, yeah, we'll see.
	Nothing. They're going to do nothing about it.
	Even if they give it a nod, they're not going to do anything about it.
	CBDC is a good example.
	You think Trump is going to stop that when his son-in-law kicked it off?
	Yeah, right. I've got a bridge to sell you, okay?
	Psychological warfare, according to the Rand Corporation, quote, involves the planned use of propaganda and other psychological operations to influence the opinions, the emotions, the attitudes, the behavior of opposition groups.
	For the longest time, I've talked about this in 2014.
	I went with Joe Biggs and we did a report about the Asymmetric Warfare Center in Fort AP Hill.
	I don't know what they call it now. I really don't care.
	It's Fort AP Hill. But there was a secure area inside of there.
	And the lady at the front office, they were not doing the training at that point.
	She didn't let us in. We did a live broadcast there for quite some time to see how they were training to come after Americans.
	And when you look at this, and I did a lot of research about asymmetric warfare, and at the time, McRaven was running the special forces stuff, and he said, we've got to get back to PSYOPs.
	He said, that's what special forces are really about.
	We want to be able to identify and to control our opponents before any shooting starts.
	And we want to know who our enemies are before any shooting starts.
	And he said, there's too much of this focus on kinetic operations.
	We need to focus more on PSYOPs.
	Well, I guess they got the message.
	The government is so confident in its Orwellian powers of manipulation that it's taken to bragging about them.
	For example, in 2022, the U.S. Army's fourth psychological operations group released a recruiting video.
	I've shown this to you before.
	I'm going to show it to you again. Have you ever wondered who is pulling the strings they brag in this video?
	Anything we touch is a weapon.
	We can deceive, we can persuade, we can change, influence, inspire.
	We come in many forms.
	We are everywhere.
	That's in their video.
	Now, what does that tell you?
	It tells me that they've embraced the satanic and the occultic, the hidden.
	These people, their ethos is no different from that of Satan, like most governments.
	They brag about their deception.
	Satan's the father of lies and of liars, and that's their father, Satan.
	He's come to steal, to kill, to destroy.
	That's what they boast about.
	It really is amazing. And when you look at these people, these intelligence agencies, so-called, the intelligence community, created right after World War II, created with the people that they brought in that had committed war crimes in Nazi Germany, the people that had committed war crimes in Japan, they brought them in.
	They became the monster that they fought.
	And they boast about it now.
	The government has made clear in word and deed, says John Whitehead, that we the people, Our domestic enemies to be targeted, tracked, manipulated, micromanaged, surveilled, viewed as suspects, and treated as if our fundamental rights, our God-given rights, were privileges that can easily be discarded.
	He said this is what's referred to as apple pie propaganda.
	Aided and abetted by technological advances, scientific experimentation, the government has been subjecting the American people to apple pie propaganda for the better part of the last century.
	Consider some of the ways in which the government continues to wage psychological warfare on largely unsuspecting citizenry in order to acclimate us to the deep state's totalitarian agenda.
	And by the way, you think Trump did something to acclimate us to the totalitarian agenda?
	It absolutely astounds me that nobody who supports him cares about what he did in 2020.
	They deeply care at the same time about the election.
	It's like Tim Pool. I'm so tired of hearing about this vaccine and the lockdowns and the masks and all the rest of this stuff and the hospital protocols and the do not resuscitate orders and the ventilators and the remdesivir.
	Can we just stop talking about all that stuff?
	It was four years ago, he said.
	Get over it. And then immediately he pivots to the election.
	And all he wants to talk about is how the election was stolen.
	Really? Really? Really?
	Well, you know, every election's been stolen to one degree or the other.
	The biggest issues in that election were added by Trump.
	I wonder why.
	Why do you think that happened?
	Well, John Whitehead, I'll just read you the headline items here.
	These are some of the ways in which they push their totalitarian agenda.
	Weaponizing violence in order to institute martial law.
	Weaponizing surveillance, pre-crime, and pre-thought campaigns.
	And of course, before we had artificial intelligence, we had that other AI, anticipatory intelligence, which is based on their geospatial intelligence, used to predict What you're going to do.
	They know your political beliefs, your religious beliefs, your friends, your movements, everything.
	Weaponizing digital currencies, social media scores, censorship, he says.
	Weaponizing compliance, weaponizing entertainment, weaponizing behavioral science and nudging.
	I said for the longest time the only science involved in this pandemic was behavioral science.
	Psychological manipulation.
	Oh, they had that down to a science.
	But that's the only one.
	Nobody would demand any answers for the data that they had.
	Oh, we've got cases here.
	Let's see the cases. Let's see some autopsies.
	Let's actually do something. Instead, you were given a fantasy agenda.
	And Trump was in charge.
	Weaponizing desensitization campaigns aimed at lulling us into a false sense of security.
	Weaponizing politics.
	Weaponizing genetics. Weaponizing the dystopian future.
	And he didn't even mention, which I would, weaponizing medicine and healthcare.
	That's one of the key things that happened four years ago.
	It is a weapon now.
	And weaponized fear.
	That comes with the pandemic stuff.
	And we got Redfield out there.
	Trump's CDC director.
	Oh, the bird flu is going to happen to humans and it's going to kill 25 to 50% of us.
	You have no way.
	You have no data.
	No way to predict that.
	That's just an outright lie.
	So he says, the end goal of these mind control campaigns, packaged in the guise of the greater good, is to see how far American people will allow the government to go to undermine our freedoms.
	And the facts speak for themselves.
	Yeah. And it can be things like nobody died.
	Trump created this.
	Biden created this.
	I don't know. I think it's too soon to say any of that stuff.
	I think that the chances of that, I think it's gross incompetence.
	That's what I believe at this point.
	I'm not saying that I won't see something to change my mind.
	But I think at this point it is absolutely gross incompetence.
	So gross that it is malicious.
	But I think that's what we're looking at here.
	But look, the issue is, when we put all this stuff together, and we talk about how they can condition people with fear to accept more totalitarian government for the greater good.
	This is precisely why I put out the short little statement yesterday.
	How long will it take Trump to propose gun control?
	Again. Again.
	Because he and all these people who are praising him, oh many of them, like Jason Aldean, jumped for gun control at the Las Vegas shooting.
	Trump pushed for the bump stock.
	And of course, that was a shooting that had so many absurdities that it was beyond belief.
	To focus on that and to pick something of no consequence, So that the NRA would not push back against them.
	Gun owners of America did, to their credit, and other people did.
	Mike Cargill did. Gun store owner took it to the Supreme Court and won.
	But they were going to use this thing, which nobody really cared about the bump stock per se.
	But I said, the principle, the precedent, is devastating.
	In the past, we've had Congress or the Supreme Court violate the Second Amendment.
	Now we're going to let the executive branch do it by executive order.
	That's a big deal. It's a lot easier for one person to violate the Second Amendment by a dictatorial decree than it is to get a bunch of people in Congress to violate the Second Amendment with an unconstitutional law.
	Or even nine Supreme Court justices.
	Even though they're not accountable to people for an election.
	And so, as you watch or listen to this, I'm going to play this for you.
	This is the ghost of the machine where they're bragging about what they do.
	Just think about how satanic this all is.
	They come to steal, to kill, to destroy.
	Just as Satan. These are not the good guys, folks.
	Good guys don't steal, kill, destroy.
	And when you see that happening...
	This is not 4D chess.
	This is a test of your intelligence and your integrity.
	Ghost and Machine If your opponent is of choleric temper, seek to irritate him.
	Pretend to be weak, that he may grow arrogant.
	Sonshu. Oh, these guys love Sonshu.
	Steve Pachinik did. Ha, ha, ha.
	The peaceful pro-democracy demonstration in China comes to a violent and bloody end.
	Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall.
	I'm not afraid of you.
	Wolves hiding nearby Whispering do or die Around me
	You say your last goodnight
	While I keep getting by There is another very important phase of warfare.
	It has as its target, not the body, but the mind of the enemy.
	The target of psychological warfare is against the enemy's mind.
	It is words and ideas.
	ammunition used by Psi-War.
	Its mission is to influence the thoughts of the enemy soldiers, and at the same time, is expected and encouraged to study foreign languages and the social sciences such as history, economics, and sociology.
	He must have a broad and sympathetic understanding of all phases of human experience.
	Gripping at my skin, the walls of night close in.
	But the use of this force as an integral part of combat has now taken on new form.
	As I wait to say my last goodbye.
	I'm not alone.
	Notice they keep going back to the chess pieces here.
	It's 4D chess?
	It's all about creating confusion, isn't it?
	War of Soldiers.
	Yeah. It's always about creating confusion.
	What can you believe?
	What is real? They don't want you to be able to understand anything.
	That's why they create these blurred lines between incompetence, malice, false flags, conspiracies, the rest of this stuff.
	You see, the real issue, it's like the guy, the story about the guy who every day the Border Patrol stopped and they couldn't figure out, they knew that he was doing something, smuggling something, couldn't figure out what it was.
	Finally, they figured out it was the bicycles he was riding every day.
	He had a different bicycle.
	You see, it's right in plain sight.
	What they want to do to us, they do iteratively with fear.
	And they keep doing it right in front of our face.
	And we keep cheering these suckers on, calling them fearless.
	And we're going to talk about that when we come back.
	Stay with us. They're doing what?
	In the place they named after me?
	Good thing I have the David Knight Show to keep me informed on the plots of these traitors.
	Making sense common again.
	This is the David Knight Show.
	Well, Rockfan, thank you very much, Fran.
	I appreciate the tip. And a question from Grammy Forgot.
	How is your wife doing, David?
	I saw your post about her.
	I got distracted when we lost power.
	I don't know if we've lost our audience or if they found it again.
	A lot of times they've got to restart.
	So, you know, if you're watching that stream and it went down, you need to pick up the other stream.
	So I don't know. Eventually, we'll put the show up.
	We'll piece it together and we'll get it up eventually.
	It'll be a little bit later today than usual, but we'll get it up.
	But I was going to talk about Karen, and I just wanted to think.
	I put out a prayer request on Friday to give you an update about what was happening.
	It's a hereditary condition that is in her family.
	Her brothers have it.
	Her father had it. It's more unusual for a woman to have it, but it's called Dupuytren's contraction.
	It's something that is a genetic thing.
	People come from... That our family does.
	And it starts to draw your hand in, very much like arthritis would be, except arthritis is like a nodule on your buildup on your joints or whatever.
	What this does is it attaches to the tendons.
	And then it begins to draw them in.
	And so she had some of her fingers were really drawn in her.
	Her little finger was drawn like about a 90 degree angle because she'd put it off for a while and wanted to wait until it was covered by Medicaid.
	And her father had had surgery.
	It was very complicated. I think he had 250 stitches in his hand.
	It took a very long time to recover.
	Her brother had to do it multiple times.
	It started with him at an earlier age.
	And he used a different treatment, which is an injection with something called Xiflex, X-I-Flex.
	Maybe you call it Xiflex, if we talk about it, if it's coming from China, who knows?
	Anyway, they put that in.
	They're supposed to soften the tendons for three or four days.
	And then you go back to the doctor and he basically jams your hand down flat.
	And it's incredibly painful, as you can imagine.
	And the injection was incredibly painful.
	When they gave it to her, it immediately, it's like one of these, you know, COVID shots or something.
	Immediately, it started hurting in her armpit.
	And all through the weekend, it was just driving her nuts.
	And then she had the procedure done, and that's a very painful thing.
	She's got her hand in a brace and stuff like that.
	But it just kept building, and she started getting these severe headaches.
	And Karen has got an amazing threshold for pain.
	Most women have a higher threshold of pain than men do.
	And she has an amazing threshold for pain.
	And she'd never had headaches like that before.
	And then she noticed, because she wasn't lifting her arm, it hurt to lift her arm, she noticed that all the underside of her arm was black and blue.
	And she talked to her brother, said, has this ever happened to you, the times that you had it?
	No, it hasn't happened. So we look it up.
	One of the possible side effects of this is vascular.
	And it can be very dangerous.
	That can cause strokes.
	It can cause even necrosis of parts of your body.
	It can even lead to amputation, things like that.
	So these are all worst case things that you Google and look at.
	But the headaches were extremely severe.
	And we're very concerned about the extensive bruising.
	So that's why we put that out.
	Because the doctors, first of all, the doctor who did this, she still hasn't been able to reach this guy.
	Like, not answering all the messages that she's left.
	And went to another doctor, said, I don't know what this is, you know.
	So, God knows, and that's what we put our trust in, not in the medical profession.
	Again, you know, we should have been more skeptical, I guess, of the medical thing, but it was, her brother had had success with it, and it was taking the use of her right hand and taking it away, so we did the, we tried that, but she's, Gotten better.
	She's still in a great deal of pain, and I still got a great deal of bruising, but the headaches are not bad.
	So I want to thank all of you for praying.
	I think that it really does make a difference.
	It really does. I don't understand, but I know that it does.
	And when I say I don't understand, you know, what is it when a lot of people are praying?
	But I've seen that in the past.
	As a matter of fact, I was going to talk about this, and I didn't get to it on Friday, but this is a letter.
	This is from, I don't know how to pronounce his name, Gillis, I'll just say.
	And he said, thank you for sharing about miracles.
	He said, and that was what I talked about, maybe Thursday?
	Wednesday, Thursday. My sister in England has been diagnosed with cancer and has a large lump on the outside of her head and neck.
	I am believing for her healing and was greatly encouraged by the clip that you showed of the gentleman who was healed miraculously of nose cancer.
	Actually, he had a massive tumor in his nasal cavity.
	And it had swollen out the side of his head, and he closed his eye.
	He could barely eat.
	I think he had to have a liquid diet or whatever, and all of a sudden it just went away.
	It was inoperable. They couldn't do radiation with it.
	They couldn't do chemo. They couldn't do surgery.
	And so he says, My doctor is Presbyterian and frustrated by people at church who refuse to believe in God's healing.
	Because I mentioned that more than any other profession, and more that typically the more educated and the more wealthy people are, the less likely they are to believe in miracles.
	Except for physicians.
	Because they're seeing God miraculously heal people all the time.
	He says, could you please let us know the title, the author, and the publisher of the book by that physician you mentioned who documented the cases of patients who were miraculously healed?
	I believe it would be a great encouragement to my GP and many in his circle of friends, colleagues, and fellow practitioners.
	Well, I would suggest, first of all, There's an introduction to it.
	Lee Strobel did a great introduction.
	The case for miracles.
	He starts with skeptics.
	Then he talks about some particular cases.
	He talks about other miracles that are right in front of our eyes.
	The miracle of God changing our hearts and regenerating our spirits.
	The miracle of creation.
	The miracle of God's specific revelation.
	Creation is the general revelation.
	That there is a God. That He exists.
	And then the special revelation.
	Of His Word. And the miracle of that.
	And how that has been verified.
	And so he talks about all those different things.
	But he does talk about miracles.
	And one of the books that he mentioned was by...
	And he's not a physician. But he did very scholarly research.
	His name is Craig Keener.
	And I'll put the book here.
	It's called Miracles.
	And as you can see, it's a two-volume set.
	Very small print, by the way.
	He's got a lot of very well-documented miracles.
	Look at this if you want some scientific discussion of this stuff.
	Very well documented. He doesn't do anything that's not documented.
	And then my favorite is still the diary of George Mueller.
	That shows how God meets us every day in even small ways that I think is just amazing.
	So, again, the book is Miracles...
	The Credibility of the New Testament Accounts, Craig S. Keener, and it is two volumes.
	A great book.
	Let's talk a little bit about this fearlessness of Trump that we saw yesterday.
	The iconic picture that's going to be worth tens, maybe hundreds of millions of dollars to him.
	It might get him into the presidency.
	And this is an op-ed piece that was on Zero Hedge from QDR's Fringe Finance.
	And the title of it is Fearless.
	I would put a question mark after that.
	He said a couple hours before the assassination attempt of Trump, I was sitting in a bar having a laugh with some new friends I'd just met from Texas.
	He said, What do you think he's going to do?
	That's the question, though, right?
	I mean, every politician has positions.
	They have positions when they're candidates.
	But do those turn into policies?
	Not if they don't have principles.
	You see, what you need are principles.
	You need principled people to have principles that you can trust.
	Otherwise, it's just a position.
	I'm for it, now I'm against it.
	I was against it, now I'm for it.
	If you don't have principles, you've got nothing on this guy.
	He will tell you anything.
	It really is demonic.
	You know, a self-obsessed narcissism criticism, he says, you and everybody else should know by now.
	He says it's been lobbed at Trump for so many decades now that he probably takes it as a compliment.
	And you know, the sad thing is that whether or not Trump takes it as a compliment, you've been trained to think that it's a good thing.
	People like Alex Jones say, he's playing 4D chess.
	Don't worry. He's lying to those other guys.
	He's really what you think he is.
	He's really what you project your values onto him as.
	And I've said it for the longest time, you know.
	Harry Belafonte supported Obama.
	Harry Belafonte is very left-wing.
	He's very disappointed in Obama.
	Obama didn't do a lot of the things that he wanted to get done.
	And at the end of the Obama administration, Harry Belafonte said, you know, we just projected on this guy what we wanted him to be.
	He wasn't the guy that we thought at all.
	And everybody does that.
	People do that with their left, right, or center.
	They do that whether they're for liberty or whether they're Marxists.
	They always project onto other people.
	You have to understand that these guys are not what you imagine them to be.
	You can't even imagine who really controls them.
	So, you know, he says, self-obsessed narcissism criticism has been lobbed in for so long, he takes it as a compliment.
	Well, you know, it is what he is.
	And when you look at this situation, which is what he's talking about, fearless, where he stands up and he's got some blood from his ear that's dripped down on his face, and he's pumping his fist up in the air and yelling, fight, and they've got the American flag behind him and all the rest of this stuff.
	Was this heroism?
	Was it fearlessness? Or were you looking at his narcissism?
	A deeply wounded narcissist, but in this case, not a deep wound, Incapable of acting except in his own perceived interest or out of revenge.
	And when you saw that anger and the rest of the stuff, I didn't see determination.
	I saw revenge from a narcissist that was there.
	Was that heroism?
	As I said before, a hero is somebody who runs into the fight.
	You know, when there was a shot, you realize he was shot.
	He hit the deck, right?
	I don't fault him for doing that.
	But a hero would be somebody who would stand up and shield the people behind him, like the Secret Service is trained to do.
	A hero would be somebody who runs at the gunfire and takes out the gunman, like Teddy Roosevelt did, which is not what Trump did.
	And again, I don't fault him for hitting the ground.
	But it's not heroism.
	It's self-preservation.
	It's a very different thing.
	And only when he was told the shooter was neutralized and everything was safe, only then did he tell the six or seven people who were on top of him who had knocked off his shoes, you know, he started giving them directions.
	So, again, I don't see it as heroic.
	I see it as another example of his epic narcissism and his uncanny ability to stage things.
	That is what has made his entire career.
	The way that he sells himself, whether it is Trump Towers or Trump Stakes, whether it's The Apprentice or his beauty contest that he wants to put men into.
	It's always his ability to sell himself, to create an image, and to get people to believe that image.
	As a matter of fact, it's very much like what the PSYOP people did.
	And I would not be surprised at all if he was not their creation.
	People first joked that Trump was running in 2016 as a PR stunt.
	And Jim Quinn at Burning Man says, maybe he was.
	Maybe he was. And you know, that was a discussion that I had with Alex Jones about a week before the 2016 election.
	Because at that point, he's starting to think, maybe this publicity stunt is going to happen.
	He says, what are we going to do if Trump wins?
	I said, well, we support him when he does the right thing.
	We oppose him when he does the wrong thing.
	And Alex just looked at me and he goes, hmm.
	And he walked off. He didn't say anything else.
	So I know what he did.
	Whether Trump did the right thing or the wrong thing, he would support him.
	And if he did the wrong thing, he would lie to people and tell them it was 4-D chess.
	So, getting back to Jim Quinn, Burning Man, he says, as I was saying to my new friends, his style is brash, and he is cutthroat as a businessman.
	He is the personification of the Wall Street shark, who in business gets a reputation for screwing the little guy.
	But if you're not his counterparty, and he's negotiating on your behalf or on the country's behalf, isn't that exactly what you want?
	How naive is that?
	How naive is that?
	We're talking about somebody who's a narcissist, not somebody who is altruistic.
	Have you seen any altruism from Trump?
	As a matter of fact, as I pointed out, began the show, I said, he's not giving any of his own money to the family of this supporter who was shot and killed.
	He sets up a campaign, his campaign sets up a GoFundMe, points to it, and takes credit for the money that is donated to the GoFundMe.
	But he doesn't put any money of his own in it, you see.
	He's not altruistic.
	He is still a shark.
	And he is a shark who is not going to protect the people around him either.
	He goes on to say, someone who will fight tooth and nail to the death to win, who refuses to be intimidated, if Trump is striking a deal that will benefit the country, does it matter to you that it's his ego driving his bold nature?
	Does character matter?
	Does integrity matter?
	Well, not to Jim.
	He will screw the little...
	Trump will screw the little guy.
	He'll screw the non-essential business owner on Main Street.
	He'll screw the people who take his killer shot.
	It's not sugar water, Alex.
	He'll screw those people.
	He'll even throw his wives under the bus, breaking his oath to that.
	No, he's not going to throw anything into any of this.
	The thing about the narcissism, especially at this level, that he should understand.
	That's what defines him.
	And that means that it's all about him.
	Everything is about him.
	And as we see in this election, everything is about him, right?
	It's all about the personalities.
	You know, Biden is starting to steal a little bit of his thunder with his Parkinson's or whatever it is.
	But up to this point, it's all been about Trump.
	He's been the dividing line. He has been the Mason-Dixon line of the new Civil War around one person.
	It's all about Trump. Trump is the gun that Boris the Blade sells Tommy and Snatch, a movie which I didn't see, didn't get the reference.
	But what he shows is a picture of a guy with a big revolver.
	He says, heavy is good.
	Heavy is reliable. If it doesn't work, you can always hit him with it.
	Well, you know, that's the idea.
	This guy is a son of a gun, but he's our son of a gun.
	And that's the attitude that you see from MAGA everywhere.
	And I've got to say, I think it's absolutely despicable to sell that.
	It's not only naive, it's not only lacking discernment, but I think it's a despicable thing.
	You know, Jesus has his own advice, besides Jim Quinn.
	What Jesus said is, are you going to get good fruit from a bad tree?
	No, you're not.
	If this guy is a ruthless, cutthroat shark, an epic narcissist, do you think good fruit is going to come out of that?
	Absolutely not. You're fooling yourself.
	If you think that that's going to happen, absolutely not going to happen.
	It became evident that his life was in danger as it became.
	He chose to stand on the stage and raise a fist in the air to show the world that the engine that drives him to push forward still had not shut down.
	No, what it shut down was a shooter.
	What it shut down was a danger, Jim.
	There was no danger at that point.
	Again, there's a long period of time.
	I didn't put the clip in the board here, but you can hear it.
	I think it was MSNBC that got the audio from the mic that was still alive.
	And they're all there on the ground under the mic.
	And they got everybody piled on top of them.
	And, you know, we can hear their radios are coming on saying, yeah, shooters have neutralized.
	Everything is safe. Get him out of there.
	And he goes, where's my shoes? Come on, I've got to have my shoes.
	I'm going to leave them without my shoes.
	And he gets his shoes. And then they stand up and he goes, wait, wait, wait.
	And then, you know, he makes them wait.
	And then he does the fist bumps and everything.
	There wasn't any danger to him at that point.
	None. He wasn't, there wasn't anything heroic about any of that.
	Anybody that has watched him publicly knows a lot of times that he will pose in the middle of saying certain sentences, as Jim Quinn, or during certain meetings because he knows a photograph of that image will capture the brand that he wants to sell to the world.
	It's how we wind up with pictures like this one.
	I don't know, Travis, if you can find it or not.
	The Fearless article.
	It shows a picture of him in the cab of a truck.
	And he's leaning over the steering wheel and going, ah!
	You know, like a crazy thing.
	He goes, think about this. Whenever we watch UFC, do we care about what's going on in the personal lives of the fighters outside the octagon?
	Oh, well, you know, yeah, that's what it is.
	It is professional wrestling, isn't it?
	It is about an image, isn't it?
	And there's a good example of it right there.
	Yeah, thank you for putting that in there.
	On Rumble, Audi, MRR, Modern Retro Radio.
	Good to see you. By the way, Audi, it's been bothering my son who was subbing for Travis for a long time.
	You'd left a tip and a comment on a Friday, and we didn't see it before the show ended because he's trying to look at multiple streams at the same time and get the comments and stuff.
	And so I apologize for not getting back and answering that question that day.
	We answered it on Monday, but I don't know if you were there.
	But Audi says, modern retro radio, the photo op of the SS leading Trump, Secret Service leading Trump off the stage with the American flag perfectly in frame made me beam with patriotic pride.
	Yeah, me too. It's all a show, folks.
	It really, truly is.
	On Rock Fan Dystopian Dissonant said, it's impossible to get through to them.
	The automatic response is, well, then you like Biden.
	That's right. You're a Trump basher.
	That's what this guy said. You're just a Trump basher.
	Always. And then I said, well, you know, he did do gun control because I had a lot of people say he never did any gun control.
	It's like, obviously, these people don't watch this program.
	They may follow me on Twitter or they might see my tweet, but they don't follow this program.
	And, you know, I said, well, no, he has done gun control.
	I guess maybe you don't care about the Constitution.
	You don't care about what he did to people in 2020?
	The person's reply was, you're just a Trump basher.
	You know, call me a Trump basher.
	I gave him that response. He didn't respond to that.
	You're just a Trump basher.
	You're right. I am.
	I will be. I always will be.
	He needs to undo what he did.
	He needs to admit that he made a mistake, which he's incapable of doing, in case you haven't noticed.
	He won't even admit to God Almighty that he made a mistake, that he's committed sins and he needs forgiveness.
	He's been asked multiple times.
	I've shown that to you. You think he's going to ask for your forgiveness?
	He doesn't fear God. He doesn't kind of be afraid of you either.
	So, no criticism accepted, even though they would hate what Trump did, if he could somehow separate it from them.
	Yeah. Oh, yeah. As a matter of fact, I've seen some people do some men on the street things where they say, well, what about this?
	And I ask them some of the things that he did.
	Oh, that's horrible. You know, Biden.
	Oh, yeah. No, that was Trump who did that.
	It was Trump. And on Rock Fan Handy, he said, I remind people on Gab what Trump did with the jab.
	I'm consistently blocked and told, go kill yourself.
	Mm-hmm. That's right. That's right.
	Tell them to go take the injection.
	That's the same thing, right?
	It's amazing. It's amazing to me.
	God will send a strong delusion.
	Maybe this is what this is, but certainly it is a strong delusion, isn't it?
	And so he goes on.
	He says, so you don't really care what these professional fighters do, these wrestlers.
	We don't care what they do at home.
	I've heard that many times. Well, you know, if I need somebody to fix the plumbing in my home, I don't really care how they treated their wives or if they've, I don't know, killed people.
	I don't really care. I mean, I just want them to fix my plumbing.
	Well, you know, you might find that he steals everything from you while he's in the house.
	So, he says, we can talk about Stormy Daniels, or we can talk about taking on irresponsible amounts of debt in order to fund the Taj Mahal casino.
	He bankrupted six casinos.
	You know, it is interesting how a guy who took on so much debt that he bankrupted casinos, Began the new level of indebtedness, the new precedent of $3 or $4 trillion a year.
	Biden has continued that precedent, and now it's about another trillion dollars added to the debt every 100 days.
	Isn't that the way that you bankrupted casinos, where you essentially have almost the power of the Federal Reserve to just create money out of thin air?
	Yeah. He says, we can talk about Trump's obsession with his image or how he lies about golf scores and BS'd his way to the top, but how can you argue that the man isn't a success?
	Well, I think you can go back and you can look at the lies that he tells people.
	David Stockman said, look, it's not just what happened in 2020 with COVID. He said he was already on the path of loading us up with so much debt.
	When you go back and you look at the repo market and other things like that that were happening there, He said Trump was laying a foundation of disaster, just like he did with his casinos, before COVID ever happened.
	But then he uses that as an excuse.
	Well, I had to do it. You see, Jim Quinn, who wrote this, really perfectly illustrates the fallen nature of the USA at this point.
	You clearly see...
	Every fault of this guy.
	Every deep character flaw.
	And yet you still put your hope in him.
	You still celebrate him.
	You still excuse him.
	You still tell people it's 4D chess.
	This attitude in America is one of the reasons why God has given us over to the sin that we have.
	And it's why we have people like Trump and Biden as the only choices in all of this.
	It's because of that kind of delusional idolatry.
	There's no other way to describe it.
	You want to talk about fearless, Jim?
	Let's talk a little bit about RFK Jr., for example.
	RFK Jr. doesn't have any Secret Service protection.
	It's been refused to him.
	And he had his father and his uncle assassinated.
	He asked for protection.
	It was not given to him.
	As this one person said, a Kennedy aide told me that the campaign has already spent $3 million on private security that accompanies Kennedy everywhere.
	Well, you know, he's got the money to do that.
	Other candidates would not.
	But perhaps he's better off with private security than he is with this DEI secret service.
	Nevertheless, Trump hasn't paid for any of his secret service.
	You have. You pay for everything for Trump.
	He sends you the bill for everything.
	You've been paying for secret service for him.
	You will continue to pay for secret service protection for the rest of his life as an ex-president.
	But, you know, he doesn't have to pay anything for that.
	He doesn't have to pay anything to the victims.
	Again, it's a let-me-get-my-shoes moment.
	When you're ready, you hear on the microphone, another one says in a few moments, on you, then move, shouts another one, the shooter is down, let's move.
	Then, as they start to move, Trump is saying, let me get my shoes, let me get my shoes, let me get my shoes, three times.
	We've got you, sir, says an agent.
	Again, you know, you look at this.
	A lot of times when people are having a heart attack, the chest compressions that people do break their ribs, you know, on their chest.
	Really violent stuff.
	I imagine when all these guys piled on him, if it's enough of him to knock his shoes off, that's probably the worst thing that happened to him.
	All these people popping on him in a fit.
	Because he's already on the ground before the Secret Service agents got there.
	Wait, wait, Trump says.
	And then he puts his fist up and starts shouting, fight, fight, fight.
	And so that was it.
	That's the iconic moment.
	That's the moment that's going to get him elected president, most likely.
	And you've got Fox News putting together all of the different tweets and social media comments and public comments that have been made by all these celebrities.
	Trump praised by stars as a warrior, as a man willing to give his life.
	Did you see any of that? And the very first one they go to is Jason Aldean, who peed all over himself in Las Vegas.
	Not that, you know, people wouldn't do that if there were gunshots going off, but the worst part about it, it's not anything wrong to be afraid if somebody's shooting at you, but the worst thing about it is that he called for gun control.
	You remember that? People seem to have forgotten all that.
	He reinvented himself.
	Jason Aldean did. As a matter of fact, he's got a place, a big place that he built in Gatlinburg.
	You know, a boozery or something.
	Some kind of a distillery or restaurant or something.
	But, you know, he redeemed himself with a conservative crowd that's got the...
	The attention span of a gnat.
	He redeemed himself with that song, Not in a Small Town.
	But he was calling for gun control after Vegas.
	And Trump issued gun control after Vegas.
	He said, I can do that myself, fortunately.
	Oh, yeah, where'd you get that idea?
	And so... The warrior who depended on the failed DEI politicized bureaucracy to protect him.
	This is a comment that one person gave me.
	He said, does he have the discernment to understand that?
	He's going to depend on the Department of Justice.
	He's been trying to lock him up. He's going to depend on them to protect him.
	He wants more security, but this multi-billionaire isn't going to put a penny out for it.
	He's going to demand that the taxpayers pay for this, or he's going to go without it.
	Because he isn't going to part from the money that he loves.
	The love of money, the root of all evil.
	So, yeah, Jason Aldean says, this is what a warrior looks like.
	This is my guy, he says.
	And take the guns, do the due process later.
	That kind of, that's a real warrior, isn't it?
	Then you've got Kid Rock.
	Comes out and says, you F with Trump, you F with me.
	So I guess now he's going to be out there taking point on security.
	He's going to be out there standing guard for Trump.
	I am so sick of these people who beat their chest.
	Let me tell you, I used to work for a guy like that.
	And when push comes to shove, literally push comes to shove, These guys back down faster than a trained dog.
	It's amazing to see all of these blustering people.
	Yeah, you want to fight? You got one.
	Yeah, see what they do when somebody starts pushing them in a crowd, even when they've got their own entourage around them.
	Well, nobody can compare to Wayne Allen Root when it comes to idolatry.
	And of course, he did not disappoint.
	He said, we just learned that Trump is superhuman.
	That Trump is defiant.
	That Trump is the chosen one.
	Yeah, there you go. Wayne Allen Root.
	Isn't that amazing? It's almost as if he deflected the bullet with his head.
	Yeah, the bullet missed him.
	He says, first, we need to thank God that Trump is okay.
	It's a miracle. It was a headshot.
	The bullet clearly grazed his ear, went in the wrong direction, blah, blah, blah.
	Secondly, give thanks to God for keeping Trump safe from evil.
	Trump has God's protection.
	But it doesn't mean that he's not evil, you see.
	Is there a blessing for the czar?
	Yes. That's one of my favorite lines from Fiddler on the Roof.
	God bless and keep the czar far away from us.
	That's a blessing for any of these presidents.
	Keep them far away from us.
	He said, third, pray for the bystanders.
	Why is that third? Why is that third?
	Why is Trump two times more important than the victim and his family?
	Well, he says, fourth, God bless the Secret Service.
	They truly are the thin blue line, he says.
	Well, I guess they have never been more thin than they were on Saturday.
	So thin, you couldn't even see them.
	They were nowhere to be found.
	They were that thin.
	And he goes on. Trump is amazing.
	Trump is superhuman. Trump is one in a billion.
	Trump is the chosen one, chosen by God to be our warrior, to lead the fight of our lives, to inspire us to give everything we have to give in the fight of our lifetimes.
	Yeah. Spoken just like Trump, huh?
	That photo of a bloodied Trump surrounded by Secret Service with the American flag waving in the background, refusing to leave without his shoes.
	Oh, wow. That was heroic.
	You know, I mean, you know, any coward can leave without their shoes.
	But you've got to be a hero to wait for your shoes.
	And to say, wait, wait.
	Time for us to do a photo op here.
	Yeah. He says, that's not something you can script.
	It isn't? He can improvise scripts on the fly.
	That's what Trump is really about.
	This whole campaign is reality TV. Haven't you noticed?
	Any other politician would run, hide, crumble, crawl, cry.
	I thought that he did run and hide when the shots began.
	Trump wanted to fight, he says, after the shooter was down, actually.
	You know, it's interesting, and Gerald Sunti pointed this out.
	He said, Lindsey Graham is out there Talking about how despicable this all was, and it's like, wait a minute, Lindsay, weren't you the one saying that we needed to assassinate all these people, all these foreign leaders?
	You wanted to assassinate Putin, start World War III, Lindsay Graham.
	And of course, Trump did assassinate an Iranian military official, and the Iranians took out a, you know, charged him with that, of course, in absentia.
	But again, it's okay for us to assassinate people.
	But we don't want our politicians assassinated, right?
	What goes around comes around.
	If you're going to start wars, if you're going to do coups, if you're going to assassinate foreign leaders, eventually that kind of chaos comes home.
	And it's being brought home big time by Biden.
	You just wait till all this stuff happens.
	And then when it happens, we're going to have Trump out there saying, oh, we're going to have to ramp up the police state to protect you from this.
	There's nothing else I can do.
	We're just going to ramp up the police state.
	Going back to Wayne Allen Root, he says, you can't stop Trump.
	You can't stop MAGA. You can't take down America.
	Famous last words. Famous last words.
	Perhaps, Wayne, you should grab a Bible sometime and take a look at it.
	You know, God laughs in derision at people who say stuff like this.
	This kind of pride.
	This kind of pride is every bit as detestable as the LGBT pride.
	Pride in and of itself is detestable.
	And we have in Trump somebody who is proud of his sexual sins, just like the LGBT are.
	But pride itself is It's one of the key things.
	Go back and take a look at the story of Nebuchadnezzar, who boasts about how untouchable he is, how important he is, how big he is, how huge he is.
	Take a look at Herod, who boasts about that.
	Look at what God does to leaders and to countries that boast like Wayne Allen wrote.
	Boy, I tell you, I just... I feel like I need a bucket to throw up every time I read Wayne Allen Root's op-ed pieces here.
	And then Elon Musk, all in for Trump.
	I fully endorse President Trump.
	Yeah, Elon Musk, the next chosen one.
	He's now going to pour a lot of money in and a lot of people are saying, well, you know, he's been there meeting with Trump and all the rest of this stuff.
	He is... Look, Elon Musk is one of the most political people on the planet.
	All of these billionaires are, folks.
	Why do you think that so much money is being spent on presidential campaigns?
	It's because these billionaires and the multinational corporations as well.
	But the multinational corporations and the billionaires, like Musk, are buying favors from these guys.
	That's why, you know, from 2000 to 2024, over a 24-year period, we've gone from George W.
	Bush, $100 million, now one billionaire gives that to Trump, just one.
	And all the rest of them are at the table.
	As H.L. Meakin said back in the 1930s, it's never been truer.
	An election is an advanced auction of stolen goods.
	And guess who they're stealing the goods from?
	You. You.
	They're stealing from you, and they're giving to the billionaires.
	Look at the concentration of wealth in 2020 based on what Trump did.
	They love him.
	All this stuff about how the elites and the globalists and Davos and everything hate him, that's all just for show.
	That's professional wrestling, folks.
	They love Trump. He did everything that they wanted.
	Everything that they wanted.
	He put Goldman Sachs bankers throughout.
	They put the military throughout his administration.
	He does everything these people want.
	So, Musk says, the last time we had a candidate this tough was Teddy Roosevelt.
	No, Teddy charged the bullets.
	He didn't hide with a, you know, Secret Service on top of him until everything was ended.
	But here's the bottom line.
	This could hand Trump the election, as many people are saying.
	Probably it's true. Now, when we return, we're going to talk about gun control.
	But we'll be right back.
	so
	making sense It's common again.
	Legend became myth.
	Yeah, and there's a lot of myths going around about Trump and guns, aren't there?
	That's what I found out when I posted on Twitter.
	Again, yeah. History became legend.
	And legend became myth.
	Lots of anger, lots of ignorance out there.
	You know, you Trump basher.
	They don't care about the people that Trump has killed.
	And Trump wasn't even hurt in that thing yesterday.
	So I'm supposed to not talk about it.
	I'm waiting for just the right time for the MAGA people to allow me to talk about what Trump actually did.
	And not about this fantasy QAnon world that these people live in.
	On Rumble, Marky Mark in New Jersey, thank you for the tip, says there's over 1,200 people in the house with 130 likes.
	Well, thank you very much. And again, if you're watching, I appreciate people doing that.
	That really does help. If you're watching the stream, please like it wherever you're watching it.
	If you are watching this in a recorded format with video or with audio as a podcast, please like it there as well because it's very important for people to be able to find it.
	I don't know how many millions of podcasts there are out there, but it is really difficult, especially when the search engines will shut me down.
	Even when you look at the David Knights that are pushed up there, some guy...
	There's a professor at some university up in Seattle, I think it was, Washington State or Oregon State.
	And he had 900 followers, and they put his Twitter account up, but not mine.
	I guess the followers that I've got there have been so shadow banned, maybe even the search engine can't find me.
	But it really does help.
	I really do appreciate that.
	And Audi, Modern Retro Radio.
	Thank you very much for the tip.
	That is very generous. I appreciate that.
	And he's on Rumble now. He says, I'll be tuning in on Rumble now.
	I deleted my Rockfin account.
	And it's Modern Retro Radio.
	Well, thank you very much, and I'll be looking for you on Rumble.
	But let's talk about this gun control stuff here.
	The thing that got people upset, I said, I predict Trump will call for gun control again.
	All uppercase. Oh, well, David, it's not the time for Trump bashing.
	Again, it's always a time for worshiping Trump, never for bashing Trump.
	I responded to that, and I said, well, you're okay?
	As a matter of fact, some people defended me.
	Well, he hasn't been good on gun rights.
	You can't deny that, but I know you will, though.
	And the guy says, you don't know excrement about me.
	Well, of course we don't, because you're publishing under an anonymous account.
	And he says, I guess once a Trump basher, always a Trump basher.
	A, get a clue.
	I said, well, once a vax killer, always a vax killer.
	I said, you don't know or care to know anything about Trump, do you?
	Again, like the people on the left did with Obama.
	They create an idol.
	You know, they craft it very carefully.
	First they make it out of wood, then they put on the gold and the silver veneer and they hammer it into place and it looks like exactly what they want.
	Except it's nothing real.
	It's something that they fashioned for themselves.
	And all of these idols are like that.
	Well, I wasn't the only one that mentioned gun control.
	Now, I'm not allowed to say gun control even when Trump's not hurt, you see.
	And when we talk about the mass shootings, yes, it is a tragedy, as I pointed out, of the people who were hurt there.
	But we've had, you know, every weekend in Chicago, Yeah, we've got dozens of people in that Democrat gun-controlled area that are being shot by Democrats.
	Trump was shot by a Democrat.
	These other people at the rally were killed by a Democrat.
	A Democrat with guns? Maybe that's what we should ban.
	Democrats with guns. That's kind of what they did with the AFD in Germany.
	If you're a member of this political party, you're not allowed to own a gun.
	That's what we should do with Democrats, I guess.
	I'm just joking. But anyway, Stink Uygur of the Young Turds jumped in immediately, said, well, if there's anything in the world that could get Republicans to reconsider gun control is what happened today.
	But even that won't do it.
	No, you know, the only thing that'll get Republicans, Stink, to reconsider gun control is if it's suggested by Donald Trump.
	And then they'll reconsider it, you know, because it's 4D chess.
	I know that it's not really taking away the guns.
	It's because it's being done by Trump.
	It's okay. The vaccine's okay.
	It's sugar water. The red flags and stuff, that's, you know, look, Trump's red flag.
	Take the gun. Do the due process later.
	That was a red flag about Trump.
	That was Trump's red flag.
	That was telling you, red flagging him as somebody who is not trustworthy, somebody who is dishonest, who is an oath-breaker, who violated his oath to the Constitution like he violated his oath to his wives.
	And sure enough, immediately, this was trending on Twitter.
	Shooting spurs calls for stricter gun control.
	It was everywhere.
	There it is right there, breaking it down.
	There's one of them down there, the BBC. A spray of bullets shatters a nation's illusion of security.
	Yeah, and then we have this everywhere.
	We've got Grant's turn.
	If only the laws that you helped pass in Florida were made national, this senseless tragedy that cost an innocent rally-goer their life and injured two others could have been potentially averted.
	Thank you all for what you do.
	It's just a sign that the gun reform now will happen.
	Another one. An assault weapon ban would have prevented Thomas Matthew Crooks from owning that AR-15.
	Wouldn't? Wouldn't?
	I guess, you know, since we had bans on drugs, you know, nobody has any marijuana anymore, right?
	Nobody has any fentanyl or heroin or cocaine.
	None of that stuff. Because we banned all that stuff by law, right?
	Shannon Watts. Armed security didn't stop the gunman at the store in Buffalo or a nightclub in Orlando.
	They couldn't prevent shootings at schools in Santa Fe.
	And now even Secret Service can't stop a shooting at a political rally in Pennsylvania.
	Sounds like they're writing the script for Trump.
	Ron Filipowski, I continue to believe that Americans should not be allowed to purchase assault weapons, although I realize that Trump and most Republicans believe an unfettered right for people to freely acquire the arsenals of their choice.
	That's right. That's right.
	I'm not making any apologies, Ron.
	This is a guy who used to be a Republican when it paid his rent, and then when he got fired by DeSantis, now he's become a professional Republican critic.
	That pays his bills.
	You know, he will abuse the First Amendment.
	And I'm fine with him abusing the First Amendment.
	There's nothing that we can do to stop criminals from getting guns.
	The best thing that we can do is have guns ourselves.
	Let me just ask you this, Ron.
	What do you think if the people at the rally, all those Trump supporters who are saying, gunmen, gunmen, gunmen, right?
	Police, come do something, right?
	You can't call the police even at a rally where they're all standing around everywhere and get them to do anything.
	Are you kidding me? You want to make everything dependent, your safety dependent on the police?
	That rally, I think, made the case once and for all that you can't outsource your own safety to the police or the Secret Service.
	They got snipers everywhere.
	They got cops everywhere. They got people fitted up in military SWAT team outfits and all the rest of this stuff.
	And yet, the people, if they had firearms, what do you think would have happened if they hadn't disarmed all of the Trump supporters who went there?
	What if they all pulled out their weapons and started shooting at that guy when the police wouldn't do it?
	When the Secret Service wouldn't or couldn't do it, right?
	What if they had the guns to protect themselves?
	Just think about that.
	See, that's the whole key.
	It's just like the school shootings.
	Yeah, the government couldn't protect the students at the school.
	The government couldn't protect Trump.
	That's something you can't outsource.
	You've got to do it yourself.
	You've got to have that right to protect yourself.
	That God-given right.
	Well, maybe the do-nothing Congress will pass a law.
	They said, well, you know, Trump didn't need the Congress to pass a law.
	You know, Congress all the time just forgets about the Second Amendment as if it never existed.
	And they pass laws, and you have the Supreme Court that does the same type of thing.
	But Trump said, I can do it now.
	I can do it. He set a new precedent with all of that.
	I can violate the Constitution on my own.
	I can take the guns and do the due process later.
	I can do a bump stock ban.
	I can do a pistol brace ban just by executive order.
	No, you can't. And for right now, the Supreme Court nearly agreed.
	But hey, you know, the politically appointed Supreme Court changes.
	That'll all change as well.
	You see this article here.
	This is coming from The Independent in the UK. Trump is nearly killed with an AR-style rifle that he resisted calls to ban.
	I really don't think it's going to be that long after Trump becomes president before he does some gun control.
	And you're going to have heroes, quote-unquote heroes, like Jason Aldean.
	He'll be right there high-fiving him, doing it.
	Kid Rock will be shielding him with his own body from any criticism.
	And remember the rock-ribbed conservative Reagan?
	Do you remember what he did when he was shot?
	When his press secretary, Brady, was put in a wheelchair, disabled, and Sarah Brady puts together that gun control group, and they violated the Constitution with a Brady bill.
	You had Sheriff Mack fought that and won in the Supreme Court.
	Just like Mike Cargill fought the bump stock and won.
	You see, these presidents, these Republican presidents are malleable.
	And it matters more to them.
	What happens to their friends or how they appear in public, that matters far more to them than your God-given rights or the Constitution that they swore to uphold.
	That's just the plain truth, folks.
	We're gonna take a quick break and we will be right back Mark.
	I'm gonna be right back.
	you you And now, The David Nutt Show.
	Well, this was sent to me by Dave.
	He says, why would a professing anti-deep state Trump entrust his security to a Secret Service controlled by Homeland Security?
	Exactly right. Why wouldn't he have his own security, as I pointed out?
	RFK Jr. did.
	And he sent something about what was done on the Alex Jones show, which I didn't see.
	But he says, everybody has to be very bold in their support of Trump.
	And if we're not bold, we are enemies of this country.
	Well, I guess maybe I'm a man without a country.
	Because I don't see anything about why I should be bold with all this.
	He also criticized, he says earlier Alex suddenly ordered the crew to pray for Trump and the country on the air, but they didn't really try to do it.
	And I'm not going to criticize them for that.
	I understand, you know, it's difficult.
	You know, when you're praying in public, one of the things that always bothers me It's what Jesus said.
	He said, when you pray, don't make a big show of it like these hypocrites do.
	Yeah, a hypocrite is literally an actor, right?
	So don't make a big show of this.
	Don't make a big flowery speech or anything.
	When I do pray in public, I always try to be right to the point and very short.
	I like to pray like I was a five-year-old, because there's times for me to talk to God.
	When I'm praying in public, I'm not just talking to God, I'm talking to a lot of people.
	I have to think about that as well.
	But again, prayer is very powerful.
	I don't have to convince God.
	I just have to present this to him.
	He's got his mind made up already.
	I'm not going to change his mind.
	But he does tell us to ask.
	And it is a blessing, you know, to see him at work.
	And God has used prayer to teach me to trust him, and Karen as well.
	A key turning point in our lives was based on a prayer.
	And so I don't despise that.
	I don't say that we should not do it.
	But again, at the other hand, it is always something that I'm a bit self-conscious about because I don't want to come across as an actor.
	And so, again, there's just a, you know, we look at something, whenever you look at the nature of God, there are all these seemingly contradictions, except what they really are, they're mysteries, because we don't really understand the nature of God, and we can't.
	And so there are things that, at first glance, seem to be contradictory, but they're not.
	And so when we talk about our petitions to God and what He winds up doing, ultimately we trust that it is His decision that He is going to work out His plans, but we don't want to also Always put the disclaimer on, you know, yes, we're told in your will, but we can pray certain things in God's will and be very confident they're going to happen.
	You know, when George Mueller, who I talk about all the time, he kept this diary and he talked about people that he prayed for, their salvation.
	Many of them never came to Christ in his lifetime, but virtually all of them eventually did in their lifetime.
	So we don't really know what God is going to do.
	We don't know what his timing is.
	And it truly is amazing to see God working in small things and in large things.
	Well, this was sent to me Harry Hound sent this.
	Elon bought X to get Trump elected.
	Complete the election interference.
	Trump also tweeted some strange tweet about Zuckerbucks today.
	Elon met with Trump at Mar-a-Lago back in March.
	Musk and Gates are in bed with CureVac.
	CureVac is pushing out bird flu vaccine.
	That is absolutely true. Reported in Stat News, you know, CureVac was what Elon Musk created to push mRNA stuff.
	We're going to have these mRNA factories, and that's the whole purpose of CureVac.
	So, Musk is right there, just like Bill Gates, interestingly enough.
	He's right there with the depopulation shots.
	And he's right there sucking up to Trump.
	And he is creating this massive army of people who love him.
	Even as he is using Twitter to spy on them and harvest their data.
	It's absolutely amazing.
	He's talked about how Twitter is a hive mind.
	And he wants, you know, he's got a lot of purposes, I think, in getting Twitter.
	He wants to have an all-comprehensive app, like WeChat, which will have a PayPal-like component in it.
	So he wants to get back into the money side of things.
	He is oppositional to Zuckerberg, who also once has made the move, but he did it in a much more obvious way with Libra.
	He put out a white paper saying, this could be the default global ID if you let me do this.
	Digital, central bank digital currency, but not with a central bank, but with a Facebook.
	So it would have been an FBDC, a Facebook digital currency, instead of a central bank digital currency.
	And the central bank said, no thanks, we'll do it ourselves, to Zuckerberg.
	But look, how do these guys become the richest people in the world?
	Again, by buying politicians.
	If I could buy something and get 3,000, 30,000 times my investment, or a 30,000% return on investment, or a 3,000% return on investment, if I could do that and do that all the time, I could become as rich as Elon Musk.
	That's his power. I mean, this guy has oiled his way into the court of every politician.
	From Trump to Xi to you name it.
	Okay? That's how he became the world's richest man.
	Crony capitalism. The king of crony capitalism.
	It was about 12 years ago I first talked to Eric Peters about that.
	You know, Elon Musk, the king of crony capitalism.
	That was the name of Eric Peters' article.
	And he was spot on then, and nothing has changed with all of that stuff.
	So now he's financing Trump's super PAC. You can't make this stuff up.
	And he points out, Trump the murderer.
	That's right. Yeah, these guys have done it.
	They'll do it again.
	Interesting that Dan Bongino, who was a Secret Service agent himself, I believe, he said, he went on Fox News yesterday, and the headline is this, Dan Bongino says, there's only one entity that saved Donald Trump's life.
	I said, yeah, okay, God.
	I looked at the article, and he didn't say that.
	He didn't say that. Dan Bongino said he didn't give God credit.
	He said Trump saved his own life.
	Trump saved his own life by, you know, presumably ducking.
	But even Trump's campaign knows better than what Dan Bongino said.
	They know enough to put out a statement to give God the credit.
	God alone prevented the unthinkable.
	That is what was put out by the Trump campaign.
	And yet, it doesn't really seem to read like Trump.
	There's only one word that is in all uppercase.
	There are other words that were...
	Initial cap to start the word, which is not the type of style writing that Trump does, and it is Michael Scott.
	I saved a life, my own.
	Am I a hero? I really can't say, but yes.
	That's That's absolutely right.
	That's absolutely spot on.
	But, you know, when we look at this, it was God alone who prevented the unthinkable from happening, said somebody on Trump's account.
	Our love goes out to the other victims and their families.
	We pray for the recovery of those who are wounded and hold in our hearts the memory of the citizen who was so horribly killed.
	We need to remain strong and determined, not allowing evil to win.
	I truly love my country and love you all and look forward to speaking to our great nation this week from Wisconsin.
	That just doesn't seem to me...
	To be Trump. Unless he had some kind of road to Damascus experience and he's completely been transformed.
	That just doesn't ring true.
	But you know, you see, people project their values, as I said, about Harry Belafonte and Obama.
	People are projecting all these values onto Trump.
	And I thought this was one of the most obvious projections right here.
	Here's the iconic picture of a...
	Of the female Secret Service agent who is quite a bit smaller than Trump.
	And she's down around his waist level there, holding him.
	And Trump is doing the fist bump in the air with the American flag in the back.
	And somebody superimposed on it the Lord's Prayer.
	The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want anything.
	It's like, really? Really?
	I think you're projecting that on.
	And yet, you have Steve Bannon...
	In an interview with the National Pulse, said the former president, quote, where's the armor of God?
	Does he really? I thought he removed all of his armor and all of his shielding when he was with Stormy Daniel.
	I don't know. You mean that in multiple senses as well.
	Metaphorical as well as literal.
	Does he take on the helmet of salvation?
	Have you seen that with Trump?
	No? What about the shield of faith?
	Is that really what defines his life?
	Or his feet shod with a gospel of peace.
	You know.
	Is he...
	He doesn't think he needs any forgiveness, you know. God...
	Jesus came to give us peace between God and man, but he doesn't need any of that.
	Does he need the sword of the Spirit?
	No, I don't think he needs that either.
	I don't know. I just don't see any evidence of any armor of God.
	And yet, Bannon is trying to wrap Trump, project onto him.
	Just like this person who projected onto that picture...
	The Lord's Prayer. Well, you have mainstream media saying the failed Trump assassination attempt may embolden supporters who see him as chosen by God.
	You mean people like...
	Wayne Allyn Root, desperately trying to get a speaking engagement at the RNC. Please, please.
	How about Julie Green?
	Are they going to, you know, Trump has picked a porn star to give the address because she said, I like Trump.
	So, okay, you get a speaking engagement there.
	OnlyFans porn star.
	Are they going to maybe pull her off and put up the false prophet Julie Green?
	We can talk about all this stuff.
	Who knows what's going to happen?
	It kicks off tonight. Religious rhetoric surrounding Trump and the assassination attempt is likely to become supercharged at this week's Republican National Convention.
	I'm sure they'll have Lindsey Graham there talking about how wrong it was for somebody to assassinate Trump and how right it is for us to assassinate Putin and start World War III. Lindsey Graham said on NBC's Meet the Press, God is not through with President Trump.
	Well, obviously not.
	He's still alive. You know, God is not through with any of us as long as we're still alive.
	We're still a work in progress, every one of us who are living.
	But we have Al Mohr jumping in on providence and presidents.
	Oh, that even kind of rhymes, doesn't it?
	The attempted assassination of President Trump raises the deepest of all questions, he says.
	He says, though President Trump survived the attempt, at least one American is dead.
	A beloved husband and father named Cory Comparatore and at least two others critically wounded.
	This was an evil act and there is no sane person arguing otherwise.
	That should tell us something really important.
	I've got to say, so are the shots, Al, that you pushed.
	You pushed those shots to people.
	You told them that it was a blessing from God.
	It was a miracle from God.
	It was a moonshot.
	And you needed to do it to love your neighbor.
	To protect your grandma and all the rest of the talking points from Yale's PSYOP. You pushed that, Al Mohler.
	You've got a podcast, a political podcast.
	And I've got to say to you that that was an act of evil.
	That Trump shot was an act of evil.
	And anybody who argues otherwise is not a sane person.
	It's absolutely insane.
	And I think the most insane part of this is all of these MAGA people, like Marjorie Teller Green, for example, one of the leaders of this, who talk about it being a poisonous shot, and yet...
	You know, we've got to follow Trump into a civil war.
	These people want to kill you.
	One way or the other.
	Just understand that.
	They'll kill you with a civil war.
	They'll kill you with World War III. They'll kill you with a shot.
	That's the common denominator here.
	Because Trump is a one-man civil war.
	Well, when we look at things like this, okay, so, you know, isn't that great?
	Trump got his ear nicked, but this other guy was killed.
	And to other people, critically wounded.
	And so what do we make of that?
	Does God love Trump and doesn't love them?
	No. No, that's not it.
	As a matter of fact, as I said at the beginning of the program, his daughter talked about what a fine man he was, and How much you love Jesus and all these other things.
	A person of good character.
	No. Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints.
	People that he has set aside.
	We're told that in the Bible.
	And when you look at the words of the song, God Moves in Mysterious Ways, it says, Blind unbelief is sure to err and scan his work in vain.
	God is his interpreter, and he will make it plain.
	We just need to leave it at that.
	But I think this idolatry disgusts me.
	I see this everywhere from all these people.
	We got other people already besides Julie Green who are out there talking about how they prophesied all of this stuff.
	Protestia picked up one of them.
	Brandon Biggs has a YouTube channel.
	He spends a lot of his time recounting his visions, his prophetic dreams that he says the Lord is giving him, sharing hundreds of prophecies out there all the time, and of course with these people that you see just like Julie Green.
	Well, forget about it. That one didn't come true.
	It's just what Alex Jones does as well at the same time.
	You give predictions about everything, and forget the ones that didn't come true.
	You predict both sides of every event, and forget about the ones that didn't come true, and then highlight the ones that did.
	So, Brandon Biggs, his prophecies include things like the Lord showing him an upcoming massive EMP attack on America from Oriental people, as he calls them.
	They refer to themselves as Asians.
	But anyway, using missiles from the USSR, they'll take out half of the Midwest.
	That Italy will have a massive volcano eruption that will cause major devastation.
	That there'll be soon another plague that will kill 350 million people.
	Well, maybe that's with Trump's re-election.
	A plague of vaccines going out.
	There will be a major earthquake that results in helicopters having to fly in food for hundreds of cities across America because all the bridges will collapse across the country.
	Notably, he predicted there was going to be a major crash in the economy in 2013.
	He urged everybody to immediately buy rations and supplies.
	Just like Julie Green.
	How many times does a prophet who says, thus saith the Lord, how many times do they get...
	How many mulligans do they get, right?
	When we talk about Trump playing golf, how many mulligans does a false prophet get?
	Well, none, actually.
	You know, you tell a lie like that once and say, this is God talking, it didn't happen.
	Well, we're done. This is a good example here.
	This guy's not pretending that he's a prophet.
	He was just having some fun back in March 2019.
	The account, he's got Wint is what it is, but it's at D-R-I-L. This guy's got almost 2 million followers.
	I think it's 1.8 million. And he said back in March of 2019, if I were president and got shot at, I would just deflect the bullet with my ear or something.
	Then I'd run around on the stage a bit and throw my fist up, unbothered, in my lane, and win election in a landslide.
	A lot of people are putting this out and saying, look, the prophecy, the prophecy.
	Yeah, anybody can get lucky with something like that.
	And he has a very interesting Twitter account.
	He says, yes, this is real.
	We didn't make this up.
	And he said, if you want to know more astounding truths, just follow me.
	So, yeah, that's the way this thing rolls out.
	Rumble, Marky Mark, thank you for the tip.
	He says, though RFK Jr.
	is wealthy, $50 million, he's not rich like Trump.
	Even so, he pays for his own security detail.
	Why can't Trump do likewise with his billions?
	After the Secret Service's failure, wouldn't Trump want to?
	Before acquiring X, Elon said that he wanted X to be a one-stop platform providing payment services, microblogging, other things.
	Why change the name if one's not changing the platform too?
	Exactly right. Yeah.
	Yeah. X was what his, I believe X is what his thing was called before he merged with PayPal.
	And they changed the name to PayPal.
	So he's going back to the financial services thing that he had.
	But he's also going back to data mining.
	Look, the data mining is very, very powerful for these people.
	And it is easily monetized with all this artificial intelligence stuff, big data being able to get that stuff.
	All these people talking about, look, Elon Musk, he spent $40 billion to save free speech for Babylon Bee.
	It's like, what a childish take on this stuff.
	But that's what you see all the time from conservatives.
	He's a benevolent billionaire.
	He's the guy that we've all been looking for on Rumble.
	Mad Mid is now a monthly supporter.
	Well, thank you very much. I appreciate that.
	And on Mad Mem.
	Mad Mem. Okay. Thank you for correcting that, Travis.
	Okay. On Rumble.
	Stealth Patriot, thank you for the tip.
	It says, God spared Trump, maybe because he isn't done judging our nation.
	And Trump is his instrument of destruction.
	I'm more inclined to see it that way.
	As a matter of fact, when we come back, we're going to talk about the Civil War around Trump.
	The Civil War.
	720 pages.
	so
	you're listening to the david knight show well welcome back um I said we're going to talk a little bit about Civil War.
	This was sent to me by a listener, Will.
	He said, David, your show is like a seven-course dinner with your information and focused presentation as the main course.
	Gerald Salenti is the zesty Italian seasoning that really sets the table.
	I always look forward to Fridays to hear his solid take on what is happening in our world.
	Thanks for all your hard work.
	Well, thank you, Will. Thank you for your support.
	And folks, if you would like to know more about what Gerald is putting out there, look, I don't agree with everything that Gerald says, but we're big boys and we can handle disagreements on some things.
	And I think it's important when you have somebody who's got the track record and the discernment and the wisdom and the experience of Gerald Salenti, I think it's always important to get their opinion.
	And as he points out, it's only a couple of dollars a week with a discount.
	At Trends Journal, you can get 10% off if you use the code KNIGHT. And he has a lot of excellent analysis there.
	And even if you occasionally disagree with him on something, it's important to get different opinions.
	That's how he puts Trends Journal together.
	He gets different opinions from press all over the world.
	That's the core that he does that research and compiles that, gives you his experienced opinion as to what is going on with that.
	And so, again, from Harry Hound, give Trump a bump in sympathy votes.
	The deep state wants Trump badly, so why would they want him dead?
	He did everything they wanted for them, including bringing COVID to us.
	Well, actually, it's the pandemic he brought to us, right?
	Martial law he brought to us.
	Astronomical trillions in debt.
	New precedents for things like gun control and lockdowns and the massive power of the public health people.
	Depopulation shots for, oh, that's just the starters.
	Oh, we got another term coming up.
	And the two guys who did all that stuff to us.
	That's who we've got to choose from.
	Babylon Bee says the party that called Trump Hitler for eight years is shocked as somebody tries to assassinate him.
	And again, we see these comments from mainstream media immediately attacking conservatives.
	We're the dangerous ones, just like the military, the FBI, have been putting out stuff saying, oh yeah, these pro-life people, they're the dangerous ones, as they engage in lawfare, locking people up for essentially a life in prison sentence.
	For just trying to talk women out of killing their children.
	Now that's where we see this.
	But like January the 6th, they'll blame his supporters.
	Trump will walk free. He'll leave them to die just like he did the J6ers.
	And when I say that, Trump could have pardoned them.
	I've talked about this many times.
	Gerald Ford pardoned Richard Nixon for any and all possible charges that might come his way.
	That was recent. That was not that long ago.
	Going back to the Civil War, this Insurrection Act was created after the Civil War to lock up people that had actually been involved in what they considered to be an insurrection.
	Now, the people who were doing it thought they were, from their perspective, they were fighting a second war of independence.
	But, of course, the victors write the history.
	They said, oh, that was an insurrection.
	But Andrew Johnson, who came after Abraham Lincoln, who was vice president, that became president after Lincoln was assassinated, gave a primctive pardon to all of the people who had fought for the Confederacy, from the top to the bottom, because he'd had enough of war.
	And as I've said before, the fact that the Biden administration would go out and dredge up this legislation, this vindictive legislation, from the end of the Civil War, and try to apply that to their political enemies today, tells you that they do want a Civil War.
	There's no doubt about it. There's also no doubt about the fact that people like Bannon and Trump and others like that are shooting their mouth off with each of them trying to outdo the other person in terms of this kind of rhetoric.
	And look, rhetoric about battlefields and fights and all this other kind of stuff, that's always been there as part of the political landscape.
	But do you notice how when they complain about it, the conservatives complain about the liberals and the liberals complain about the conservatives?
	Whether or not there's anything different about this stuff, but they have ramped it up to a whole new level.
	They've made it an art.
	They've made it a profession.
	It's how they get the headlines and they get the attention.
	It's by saying outrageous things, and that's how Trump gets the attention.
	Or the outrage. That's why he's become the dividing line for a civil war.
	So after this shooting, you have CBS's Margaret Brennan said some GOP reaction to the Trump shooting, quote, will raise further concern of violence.
	So she's playing the same game.
	But she does talk about the fact that some people need to back down on the rhetoric.
	And that is not the way it's being presented.
	Her comments are not being presented that way by the conservative press.
	They're just saying, look at this. They always blame us, even when it's them.
	That part of it is true.
	But what she did say, that they don't put in their headlines...
	And that they don't really talk about.
	She said, I was just texting with Robert O'Brien, the former national security advisor to Trump, who sent out a statement saying, we've got to take the political temperature down.
	He and Senator Mike Lee issued this statement jointly.
	So two key Republican Trump supporters calling for the rhetoric, the political violence, and the threats of political violence to be lowered.
	I think that's a responsible thing.
	And yet, her comments and their comments are put out there as treasonous.
	Oh, you're with the other people then, right?
	This kind of Hegelian mindset that they've got these people locked into is really dangerous.
	And for the vast majority of Americans...
	Who are not rabidly Democrat or rabidly MAGA. It is a very dangerous thing, and we need to speak out against it.
	The left wants a civil war, said Marjorie Taylor Greene, but she would never say that about Steve Bannon, who is pushing it more than anybody that I've seen.
	He's in prison now, and he's still putting out stuff like that.
	And he says, well, I'm happy to serve my country in prison.
	You're not serving your country in prison.
	You're serving time.
	You're serving time because of your hubris and your arrogance and because you didn't have the discernment to get a good lawyer if you're telling the truth.
	He says, well, I wasn't being arrogant.
	Yes, he was. He held a press conference about it.
	I'm not going in there. Again, Hunter Biden did the same thing.
	Hunter Biden's not going to jail.
	So there's that part of it.
	We know that it is weaponized, politicized lawfare.
	No question about it.
	But if you're going to operate in that condition, don't complain about it when you do something stupid.
	Are you going to follow somebody that's so stupid as Bannon that he can't realize that he's operating in a field of politicized, weaponized lawfare and he walks straight into it?
	Is that the kind of person you want to follow?
	Seriously? I mean, come on.
	This is like saying, well, you know, we've got drone warfare.
	And the guy goes out there and he gets, so he doesn't get killed, so he can still talk.
	Well, he gets his legs blown off.
	Well, that just wasn't fair.
	You know, it's like, well, you knew there was drone.
	This type of thing was happening.
	You're lucky to be alive. There's a different way to approach this stuff.
	And if you don't have the...
	Anybody knows that you can go to these hearings and you can plead the Fifth Amendment.
	And it was simply hubris and arrogance for Bannon to claim that he had executive privilege and didn't need to go.
	Navarro did the same thing.
	Navarro just got released, interestingly enough, just before the Republican Convention.
	And he'll be speaking at the Republican convention, which begins this evening.
	Maybe it's already kicked off.
	Who knows? All the party stuff and all of the funny hats and all the other stuff.
	It's a big party.
	It's a big reality TV show.
	And everybody, I guess, is going to be tuned into it one way or the other.
	We're going to take a quick break, and we will be right back.
	the the
	you my people that uh... if you want to protect yourself against the coming of the lot of stuff here about ideas and how they're looking to roll them out in every way that you can imagine and it's all a precursor to a global i d cbdc and so if you want to protect yourself from that system
	if you are protect yourself from having all your wealth locked up into the internet that can be taken down you know the internet anything's on the internet It's got a double vulnerability of...
	Both the electrical infrastructure as well as the internet infrastructure and hacks based on that.
	So if you want to get something that is outside of that, you want to prep to get outside of that, go to davidknight.gold.
	That'll take you to Tony Arderman and his wise wolf gold.
	You can buy gold or silver, small or large transactions.
	Tony will help you with that. And if you want to just gradually save on a monthly basis, Tony has done something that I don't know anybody else that's done this.
	He set up a buying group, and you can select in at different levels and set aside a monthly amount that you want to save.
	And then also get a group discount from being a part of Wolfpack.
	So Tony is a supporter of this show and has been for a very long time.
	We really do appreciate that.
	So if you go to davidknight.gold, I'll let him know that you're coming from here.
	And we really do appreciate his support.
	Well, let's...
	Talk a little bit about the VP Apprentice show that's going to be launching today.
	I don't know if Trump is going, when he's going to launch his VP candidate, but it'll be sometime during this RNC thing.
	But what I think was the most important aspect of it was the fact that the GOP cut 50 pages from its platform in just one day.
	I mentioned this briefly last week.
	I said, you know, they went from the platform that they put in in 2016.
	They left it there for 2020.
	They didn't change it between those times.
	And it used to be 66 pages.
	They cut it from 66 pages down to 16.
	They did it in a single day.
	It was dictated to them.
	You had Marsha Blackburn, the senator from here in Tennessee.
	But it was really coming from Trump, from his daughter-in-law.
	He's taken over the party.
	It's now the, we should call it the TNC, the Trump National Convention.
	And they had people who supposedly represented all 50 states.
	You know, if you are an activist within a political party, then they have you be a delegate to the national convention and things like that.
	And many times they'll come in and they will work very diligently on this platform.
	The candidates don't really like it because they don't like to be pinned down on one thing or the other.
	And so Trump just basically eviscerated it.
	I don't think it's going to help us win, said one person, but I think it is discouraging Christian voters.
	And he said they tried to connect Blackburn and learn who made these decisions to skip the subcommittees, but her questions have not been answered, according to them.
	And it's not just one person who's doing this.
	Again, it is coming from the top down.
	Done, as I said before, behind closed doors.
	People are informed of this and told to rubber stamp it.
	How Soviet of them.
	You know, Soviet meant committee.
	We'll do it by committee, but, you know, we'll pretend that it's a committee, but it's actually being done by one person.
	RAND Corporation does that when they push their, in the years past, when they were talking about Agenda 21 before it became the 2030 Agenda, they were pushing this stuff through.
	And one community after the other, they would have these meetings that are being run by the RAND Corporation, and they would direct the conversation.
	They would ask for people just to volunteer from the community.
	And then they would direct it, and it would always wind up being exactly what they had decided beforehand.
	So the 2024 Republican platform dropped gun rights.
	What a surprise! What a surprise!
	This is one of the reasons why that was my first thing that I said after the shooting.
	Because the RNC had already dropped gun rights.
	Gun rights promises out of the platform.
	The entire platform discusses gun rights just once in a preamble statement about the party's dedication to defending, quote, our fundamental freedoms, including freedom of speech, freedom of religion, the right to keep and bear arms.
	Done. We're done with all those.
	We don't have to talk any more about Censorship or free speech.
	We don't have to talk anymore about gun control.
	We don't have any specific things. We just really like all of those things in the Bill of Rights.
	We really do, even though we don't try to enforce them.
	It's kind of like mom and apple pie.
	We're all for it, you know?
	Biden has made gun control, however, a fixture of his tenure in office, but they don't want to talk about it in the RNC. And he's already campaigning on even more sweeping proposals, including a ban on the sale of AR-15s in a second term.
	And this is before the shooting.
	And so, in a second term, will Trump be dangerous with this stuff?
	You better believe he will be.
	If you've watched politics for very long, you always know that the second term of a quote-unquote conservative president goes way, way, way to the left.
	At this point, they want to be liked, they want to be remembered, they want to ingratiate themselves to people that are going to pay them after they've left office.
	The 2024 platform's cursory discussion of gun policy priorities marks a significant departure from the 2016 platform.
	They previously dedicated an entire section to the Second Amendment.
	In it, the GOP listed specific pro-gun policies that it wanted to enact.
	I would kind of like to know what Trump thinks about gun control by executive order.
	He did it not just with a bump stock, but he also did it with a pistol brace.
	And then he pulled that out In December of 2020.
	He put it in in 2019.
	And then the NRA, which didn't complain about the bump stock, said, Yeah, but we don't like this pistol brace thing.
	This is starting to get real now.
	You know, the bump stock is just kind of a silly little add-on.
	But now you're getting real.
	Well, it was the same precedent.
	And as soon as Trump had put in that bump stock precedent, I said, Look, it's going to be picked.
	And Lala Harris was the first one to do it.
	She said, Within 100 days, right after Trump did that gun control by executive order, Lala Harris said, within 100 days, if the Congress hasn't enacted the gun control that I want, I'll do it all by executive order.
	The RNC did not respond to requests from the Reload for comment about the party dropping the gun rights priorities from its platform.
	The updated platform also removed the party's previous opposition to same-sex marriage and its emphasis on On reducing the national debt.
	And its vision for entitlements reform.
	So, yeah, same-sex marriage, abortion, Second Amendment, the debt.
	We don't care about any of that stuff.
	Which brings me back to what that one person said on Twitter.
	She said, people want to know who I support for president.
	Which one of the three Democrats running, do you like Democrat...
	Door number one, door number two, door number three.
	They're all Democrats, regardless of which door you pick.
	But Monty wants to know.
	Do you want door number one?
	Do you want Biden? Door number two, Trump.
	Door number three, RFK Jr.
	They're all Democrats. And quite frankly, look at a Libertarian Party candidate.
	He seems to me like a Democrat as well.
	Thoroughly immersed in all this DEI nonsense and all the rest of it.
	Look at the Republican Party when Joe Jorgensen ran four years ago in 2020.
	She was all about Black Lives Matter, BLM. That BLM, not the Bureau of Land Management.
	She was all in support of Black Lives Matter.
	At the time, Trump was locking everybody down, putting masks on everybody's face, shutting down all the political conventions, saying we're going to vote by mail and all the rest of the stuff.
	And her concern was to support the mostly peaceful arsonists and rioters that were going on.
	It was like, what is the matter with the Libertarian Party?
	So what does Trump really believe, asks the new American.
	In February 2018, following the shooting of Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, Trump met with Pence.
	And the leaders of both political parties, I've played that for you over and over again.
	Deranged gunman Nicholas Cruz had used a semi-automatic rifle to murder 17 people and wound 17 others.
	The topic of that meeting was whether or not a red flag law might have alerted authorities to Cruz's mental instability.
	And again, what did he say?
	All right. Take the firearms first, then do the due process later.
	Well, then it's not due process.
	And he goes around the table.
	Don't worry about the bomb stocks. Fortunately, I'm able to do that myself.
	And I will do that, he said.
	He doesn't care when that happened.
	I said, we always knew this about Trump.
	You know, he doesn't care about his oaths to his wives and all the rest of it.
	You know, when I was covering campaign in 2020, I went to Washington and we were looking at the hotel.
	He had this hotel that he had gotten like a hundred year lease on or something like that.
	I think he's ditched that now somehow or the other.
	It was a beautiful historical hotel.
	And he's going to put his name on it and everything.
	It used to be the post office that was there or something.
	Anyway, he's paid a lot of money and he got this lease on it.
	And I think he's gotten rid of it now.
	But I said, because Karen was with me.
	Karen and Travis went with me to do that report.
	And I said, you know, what this tells me is that he cares a great deal about his family.
	Not necessarily his wives, but his kids.
	He wants to leave them a legacy.
	But I said, that still doesn't mean that he cares a whit about the rest of us.
	I said, time will tell.
	Well, I think time has told us exactly what he thinks.
	We're going to take a quick break. And when we come back, we're going to talk about the efforts to replace Americans.
	We're also going to talk about some updates in terms of pharmaceuticals.
	We'll be right back.
	♪♪
	the
	defending the American dream you're listening to the David Knight show By the way, as we look at the Republican convention, I forgot to mention the fact that Melania's not going to be speaking, which is kind of interesting because usually they always have.
	The First Lady speak, but I think she's just kind of in it for the severance pay now, I think, after this election is happening or whatever.
	And, of course, there's always, as I started to talk about the VP sweepstakes that are going on, there's three people that are mentioned.
	Of course, Trump could surprise everybody and pull in somebody that's not being talked about.
	When you look at the push for various people, Karl Rove has come out for Burgum, the crony capitalist billionaire, governor of North Dakota.
	Marco Rubio, he's looking like the real dark horse and all this stuff.
	And then there's J.D. Vance.
	The two of them, as senators, have said some pretty nasty things about Trump in the past, but I don't know.
	Maybe Trump can look past that.
	But... Marco Rubio also has the issue that he is from the same state as Trump.
	And that could be a little bit of an issue.
	I know the Constitution's a dead letter, but, you know, people, some trolls might bring that up and cause a little bit of problems.
	So he's looking like a dark horse.
	And then there's J.D. Vance, who is by far and away the favorite of the MAGA press and of Don Trump Jr.
	So, yeah, if you guys have got any comments about who you think it's going to be, you can leave those comments there.
	Yeah. If I was interested in social media, I'd put up a poll.
	Maybe some of you will do it.
	Maybe Jason Barker will do it or maybe Gard Goldsmith will do it.
	But yeah, we'll find out probably pretty soon what's going to happen with that.
	But I want to talk about climate change.
	I just want to say before I get into that, there was one question that somebody gave to me.
	About the vaccine.
	This is coming from JC. He said, still the vaccine is currently a big issue.
	I'm very glad that you bring up points like Slaoui was the head of GSK's Pandemrix vaccine before heading Operation Warp Speed.
	More importantly, how the effects were delayed years later.
	This has always been an issue.
	And again, the reason I bring up Pandemrix, Which was Fauci and Slaoui's quote-unquote solution to the 2009 pandemic that you probably none of you noticed.
	That was a vaccine that they rushed to market.
	And in a Scandinavian country, and it's been a while now, I'm going by memory, I can't remember which one it was.
	It was Norway, Finland, something like that.
	But it showed up in the children.
	It had a lot of kids that got the vaccine, that got narcolepsy, where they fall asleep without any advance warning, and it has destroyed their lives.
	Some of them have committed suicide.
	And you ask yourself, well, why would it show up and just really heavily like that in one country?
	Well, because a lot of countries don't even want to look at it.
	They don't bother to look.
	Another one was catalepsy, where you just freeze.
	I don't know if that's the same thing that Celine Dion has.
	She's got stiff person syndrome.
	I don't know if that's the same as...
	I think it is a different thing, but still.
	This is something that showed up in kids, and it has messed up their lives so much, several of them have committed suicide.
	But it took a year for it to even show up in kids.
	And of course, you know, children are kind of like a canary in the coal mine.
	They have a faster metabolism rate, just like animals have a faster metabolism rate than adults do.
	And so it showed up first with them, but you have to look for it.
	And we also know that one of the things that makes this work is that it is time-delayed, that it is dependent on genetics.
	I think that's one of the reasons why you would see clusters of it in a particular country.
	Some people are not affected by this.
	Some people are. And, of course, the other factor that we see in these Trump shots is very significant, was how the dosage varied by a factor of 30.
	By a factor of 30.
	That's been discovered in the documents that something has not been talked about a great deal.
	I think it is one of the most significant things because it shows us two things.
	It helps explain why not everybody had severe issues with it.
	But it also shows us that this whole thing was designed to use us as lab rats.
	That's the type of thing that you would typically do in one of the phases of the studies to vary the dosage and see what happens.
	Too much, and it's poison.
	Too little, doesn't do anything.
	So when you've got a medicine, you always have to look at the dosage.
	This is what I've always said about fluoridated water.
	It's the argument that was made about putting mRNA into the lettuce and other things like that.
	It's like, well, how can you control the dosage?
	You can't when you do it that way.
	But getting back to his question, he said...
	I want to keep it brief, but I had a personal question I thought I might ask because I'm getting different opinions.
	I'm single and in my mid-20s.
	I'm surprised to find the number of Christian women who have had the vaccine.
	Recently, I was dating a girl for a couple of weeks and nothing had come up about the vaccines.
	And when it did, she told me she wouldn't continue with a relationship unless I got vaccinated.
	Wow. I offered to compromise with things like getting a routine temperature check and getting tested if I felt sick, but that wasn't enough.
	We both decided we weren't for each other.
	But what do you think about dating someone who is vaccinated?
	Is it completely off the table?
	Or do you think you can work something out if it could be worthwhile?
	Well, I think there's a lot of different issues.
	I've had somebody ask me this question before in person.
	Somebody that they just met.
	And we found out she was vaccinated.
	She took the other approach.
	She didn't say, well, you've got to get vaccinated too.
	And she said, I did.
	I think it was a mistake and I regret it.
	And so then that's a start.
	And we've all been fooled.
	Let's not pretend that none of us ever got fooled by the medical community.
	And they keep fooling us, don't they?
	But it's important that you learn from your mistakes.
	But it also is an issue if you're going to have children.
	What are the long-term effects of this?
	And so you need to think about that as well.
	And so I don't really have a separate answer except here are the things that you need to think about.
	Does a person realize that it was a mistake?
	Are they sadder but wiser?
	And again, it's going to be a call that you're going to have to make in terms of do you think it's going to affect the children?
	Hopefully not. But we don't know.
	And so, I think anybody who did not have the discernment to understand the mistake at this point in time, for me, anyway, I think that would put them off the table.
	But let's talk about climate change.
	We've only got a little bit of time here, and I wanted to get to that as well, because it is so fundamental to what is happening.
	And we see it's a hot summer right now.
	You know, it wasn't earlier this year.
	People say, oh, the weather is record temperatures and all the rest of this stuff.
	Well, back in May, I was looking at the temperatures.
	I still look at the temperatures back in Texas because my daughter is still there.
	And When we moved two years ago in 2022 from Texas in May, when we were moving, every day was a triple-digit day in May.
	And it was incredibly bad.
	Now, last year they had a long streak of triple-digit days over 100 degrees.
	And that was different.
	But again, where do they put the temperature?
	Where do they put the thermometers?
	You know, that whole thing is such a game.
	We can't really rely on any comparative data because everything has changed.
	The temperature, the thermometers have been relocated.
	The circumstances under which they're taking the temperatures have been relocated.
	They are interpolating between places where they don't even have a thermometer anymore.
	Maybe they did have a thermometer once upon a time, and now they're pretending as if they've got a thermometer there, but what they're doing is they're splitting the difference between a couple of different readings that they're actually taking to different places.
	And those readings might be on an airport tarmac, or it might be in an area that is now an urban heat island.
	So we don't really have any good data with that.
	But now things are starting to get hot.
	It's summertime, you know, July.
	But there's something else that happened here that I think is very important.
	For you to understand, you know, we have a massive volcano.
	Volcanoes can affect the climate.
	We saw it in the mid-1800s.
	Krakatoa, east of Java.
	There was even a movie when I was a kid about that.
	And the massive tsunami that it created and all this kind of stuff.
	But the after effect of that, it was a land volcano.
	And it shot so much debris up into the high atmosphere.
	I don't know if I got a stratosphere or whatever, but it's up high.
	It stayed up there for several years.
	And there was like a little mini winter in the mid-1800s after Krakatoa for about three to five years or something like that.
	So it cooled everything off significantly.
	Well, there's been a major volcano that was underwater that exploded back in 2022.
	An underwater volcano in Tonga, known as Hunga Tonga.
	Maybe the big kahuna.
	This thing was massive, but it was all underwater.
	And what it did was it vaporized massive amounts of water vapor.
	In a recent op-ed in the Las Vegas Review Journal, they recounted the scorching 120-degree days across the Vegas metro area.
	The writer said,"...the national mainstream media blames global warming." Well, you know, if you look at what happens, the interesting thing is the land volcano of Krakatoa put a lot of debris up and it cooled things off.
	But when you have a huge underwater volcano like this, and it blew up in January of 2022 near Tonga, an island nation in the southwest Pacific Ocean, in August of 2022, seven months later, NASA reported that That the amount of water that was shot into the atmosphere was equivalent to 10% of the water that was already present in the atmospheric layer.
	Now, when we talk about greenhouse gases, and we've talked about this before, the major greenhouse gas is water vapor.
	It's not CO2. CO2 is only 0.04%.
	The major greenhouse effect comes from water vapor.
	And because this was an underwater volcano, it shot up enough water to increase that water vapor by 10%.
	The water vapor traps heat.
	This led to predictions from scientists in September of 2022.
	Live Science said 50 million tons of water vapor from Tonga's eruption could warm the Earth for years.
	The Associated Press said, AP, Associated Propaganda, reported in 2022 that the eruption could end up warming the Earth.
	NPR said at the time, it usually takes two to three years for sulfate aerosols from volcanoes to fall out of the stratosphere.
	But the water from the January 5th eruption could take five to ten years.
	To fully dissipate, which takes us right up to 2030.
	How convenient for them.
	Now, I'm not saying it's a conspiracy theory that the volcano blew up.
	What I am saying, though, is that all of these organizations, like the Associated Press, NPR, and on and on, they all knew this happened.
	They all told us two or three years ago it was going to have a big effect on the climate.
	And as the headline of this article says, it's not you.
	It's not your SUV. It's not even Taylor Swift's private jet.
	It's the Humongatonga event.
	The really big kahuna.
	Do the math. You're looking at higher temperatures in 2024, maybe for some time to come as well.
	And then this question from Real Clear Energy.
	Is carbon capture big oil's next payday?
	Well, I know that carbon capture is the next big payday of Doug Burgum, who is touted as being a possible pick for Donald Trump for Vice President.
	I know that carbon capture is a big payday for both that North Dakota governor and the South Dakota governor, Christine Ohm, and for the company that is running a pipeline halfway across the country, maybe more than halfway across the country.
	In order to then stick it into the ground in North and South Dakota, supposedly I guess there's something special about the ground there.
	Why do you have to transport this on a pipeline across the country?
	The most absurd thing yet to come out of the green movement.
	It's as ridiculous as Bill Gates, who was demanding that people get paid for planting trees and probably got paid himself for planting trees, now saying we've got to cut the trees down and bury them.
	Because when they're cut down and they die, they release the carbon dioxide that they had absorbed before.
	Folks, this is absolutely absurd, but there's a lot of money to be made.
	And Doug Burgum and Kristi Noem, governors of North and South Dakota, and then the CEO of Summit that runs this pipeline, oh, they're all hanging around palsy with Donald Trump in Mar-a-Lago.
	You really think that the guy who had it within his power to shut down the Paris Climate Accord and didn't do it?
	You really think that he's not going to use this as an opportunity to make a lot of money?
	That Doug Burgum, also a billionaire, isn't going to use it as an opportunity to make a lot of money?
	When you look at the Paris Climate Accord, as I've said many times, any one of the senators, any one of them, it didn't even have to be Mitch McConnell, but certainly Mitch McConnell bears the most responsibility because he did have a majority in the Senate, and he could have called for a vote and made it happen.
	But you could have had any of these senators, think about the conservative ones like Rand Paul or Ted Cruz, Mike Lee, any of them could have said...
	John Kerry can't get us involved in a treaty.
	He can't self-ratify a treaty.
	Neither can Obama, but they all pretended that it was valid.
	And then Trump pretended that it was valid as well.
	Because he looked at it and he said, well, I want to get out of it, but according to the terms of this thing, this document, that Kerry and Obama self-ratified without the Senate as required in the Constitution, according to the terms of this, I've got to give them three years advance notice.
	Okay, here's your advance notice, and then we'll get out of it, which puts it right after the election.
	And so he went ahead and got out of it, and he likes to tell people, see, I got out of it.
	You left it in place.
	It had no effect.
	It was an executive order from the previous administration that you pretended was binding.
	It was an executive order to get us involved in a treaty that gave everything to China.
	China transferred our industry, transferred our energy to them.
	We can't compete with them in manufacturing.
	And it's not just because of slave labor.
	It's because of energy costs.
	That's as important if not more so than the slave labor that they have there.
	And so it rolls across Western Europe as well as the United States.
	Miliband in the UK, Ed Miliband, has pushed through Britain's biggest solar farm on Greenland despite the objections of officials, prompting fears that he is endangering the nation's food security.
	Because that's what this is all about.
	It's all about attacking our food security.
	And so what they're going to do is they've put up these massive solar farms in an area that was very productive.
	They call it a green space because it was very productive farmlands.
	And they're going to cook those farmlands.
	They're going to shut them down for any production of food by putting these solar panels up there.
	Because the game, as we know, is to shut everything down and to feed us soylent greens.
	From the labs.
	FDA approves meat-replacing mycoprotein for consumption.
	It never ends. This is what they're doing with each and every one of these things.
	As we look at the pandemic and as they push this out, we now have the governor of Colorado pushing the panic button, saying three Colorado poultry workers tested positive for bird flu.
	Well, you know, this is different.
	They're not going to the dairy workers.
	They're not going to the cows.
	They're actually going to the birds.
	And he claims that this is an emergency.
	So how long is it going to take him to formally declare an emergency, formally declare medical martial law, if he says this?
	Are there any people who are sick?
	Well, no.
	The Colorado Department of Public Health said in a statement on July 3rd that a dairy farm worker...
	That was supposedly infected with a bird flu.
	How did they determine that? Well, by the ridiculously absurd PCR. His only symptom was conjunctivitis known as pink eye.
	He had no respiratory involvement.
	He had no fever.
	He has recovered.
	This is something that is common that we see that has always been around, and yet he's declaring a national emergency.
	Even as they continue to attack raw milk.
	Which is really an attack on local farms.
	This one being brought about by some people who got sick with salmonella in California.
	Oh well, then that means that raw milk is unsafe as well.
	This is the logic of these people.
	But it makes sense because it's all about shutting down local farms and about shutting down real farms and feeding us the stuff that they create, that they patent, that they produce in a lab.
	Thank you for joining us.
	Have a good day. Let me tell you, The David Knight Show, you can listen to with your ears.
	You can even watch it by using your eyes.
	In fact, if you can hear me, that means you're listening to The David Knight Show right now.
	Yeah, good job.
	Ha ha ha! And you want to know something else?
