	using free speech to free minds You're listening to The David Knight Show.
	As the clock strikes 13, it's Wednesday, the 17th of July, Year of Our Lord 2024.
	Well, today we're going to talk about the Menendez corruption hearing.
	I think it's kind of interesting that Lindsey Graham was a character witness for him in his previous corruption thing where he got off with a hung jury.
	But it's going to be an impact for the pharmaceutical companies.
	Yes, this guy of such integrity, Menendez, was a big supporter of Big Pharma.
	We're also going to take a look at the pre-crime We're good to go.
	We'll take a look at what Trump learned from his near miss, his near hit.
	I guess we could say he went from ear to eternity nearly.
	But we're going to take a look at what's being done at the Republican National Convention.
	Doesn't look like they're thanking God, or at least not the right God, anyway.
	We'll be right back. And I'm also going to take a look at what we saw with the recording released from RFK Jr.
	Very, very interesting about what Trump knew.
	It brings up the issues that I've talked about for a very long time about how he used RFK Jr.
	to bid his price with Big Pharma up.
	Trump knew all along about the childhood vaccines and what they were doing to people.
	Didn't care. Didn't care.
	And we'll take a look also a little bit more at J.D. Vance.
	Where's this guy coming from?
	Is he liberal? Is he conservative?
	No, he's a technocrat, folks.
	He's a technocrat.
	He's allied with the darkest, richest people on this planet.
	I know, by the way, Elon Musk has now pledged that he's going to put $45 million in the Trump campaign per month.
	Per month. For the next, as I look at it, it's like another four months.
	So that's about $180 million?
	You know, one man, almost twice as much money as George W. Bush spent on the entire, and all the PACs spent on George W. Bush for presidency in 2020.
	In 24 years, one man, twice as much as all the spending.
	For George W. Bush, and he was accused by Al Gore of trying to buy the campaign.
	Because Al Gore spent $70 million.
	So, one man will spend more than both Al Gore and George W. Bush spent in 2020.
	Trying to buy the campaign.
	So, what is Musk trying to buy?
	As H.L. Mencken said, in the 1930s, he said, in an election...
	There's an advanced auction of stolen goods.
	How did Musk become the richest man on earth?
	Well, by working governments and government officials and politicians.
	So let's begin with this. We've got Bob Menendez found guilty of accepting cash, gold bars, Mercedes-Benz.
	Oh, Lord, won't you buy me a Mercedes-Benz?
	My political friends, I must make amends, found guilty on all 16 accounts.
	A jury of 12 convicted him on charges including wire fraud, bribery, and extortion, making Menendez the seventh sitting U.S. Senator to be convicted of a federal crime, placing pressure on him to resign before his term expires at the end of the year.
	He and his wife were accused by prosecutors of orchestrating a bribery scheme while he was head of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
	Seems like he's the same type of thing as Steve Bannon and his pal Guo.
	Anyway, different parties, of course, they can't be alike.
	This can't be about the money and the corruption, can it?
	He acted as an agent of Egypt.
	We were laughing about this last night.
	And Whistler said, yeah, I guess you channel the money over to Egypt.
	Nobody's paying attention to what's going on in Egypt.
	Everybody's living in these other countries.
	And it's like, yeah, okay. He intervened to squash a separate criminal prosecution in New Jersey in exchange for payoffs.
	And then he tried to cover it up.
	Federal prosecutors said it wasn't enough for him to be one of the most powerful people in Washington.
	He also wanted to get rich.
	We can say that about Pelosi.
	We can say that about all of them, right?
	Obama. Menendez's attorney, whose name is Adam Fee.
	You might not want to get an attorney whose last name is Fee.
	That can be kind of expensive.
	Suggested that the gold bars and Mercedes pins were 100% appropriate.
	He also argued that the cash and the gold weren't bribes.
	Instead, they were generous gifts.
	No quid pro quo there, right?
	A third co-defendant pleaded guilty and testified that he bribed the Menendezes with the Mercedes-Benz.
	His wife was charged.
	Her trial has been postponed indefinitely because she's undergoing treatment for cancer.
	But Menendez is set for sentencing October the 29th.
	We finally have a senator who has convictions.
	Not the right kind.
	Schumer wants him to resign before then.
	Well, we'll see what happens.
	He faces 200 years, by the way.
	The max that he could get for these 16 conventions.
	He should live so long, right?
	The bombshell truth verdict.
	Guilty on all 18 accounts.
	After about 12 and a half hours of deliberations spread over three days.
	And the approach from the pharmaceutical industry, here's Stat News.
	Now, Stat News is the pharmaceutical trade rag, I guess we could say.
	They're pretty objective and they're pretty open about what they reported.
	It really is kind of surprising.
	And their headline is, Menendez's conviction may cost pharma a key ally in Congress.
	This is exactly the kind of guy they go to to give money to.
	Makes you wonder about Fauci, doesn't it?
	We don't wonder about Fauci.
	We know exactly. We got his number.
	Without Menendez, the pharmaceutical industry will lose an important friend in Congress, says Stat News.
	He's been in Congress for more than three decades, representing the home state of many pharmaceutical giants, including Johnson& Johnson& Merck.
	You know, he's probably helping them out with the opioid epidemic and the liability and all the rest of this stuff about that.
	Um... And he remains among the top senators when it comes to receiving campaign donations from health and pharma industries, the industry's leading trade group, which goes by the name Pharma.
	They just left out the first day.
	They have uppercase P, lowercase H, then RMA, Pharma.
	That's what they call their lobbying group.
	The relationship of big pharma companies was also on display when in 2015 he was indicted in a bribery case and accused of having received a million dollars in gifts in exchange for exerting his influence in the resolution of Medicare billing disputes worth tens of millions of dollars on behalf of a Florida dentist.
	That case ended with a deadlocked jury.
	And I wonder, you know, when they were deadlocked, and we'll talk about it, it was Lindsey Graham and the other senator from New Jersey, Cory Booker, who were character witnesses for him.
	If I was on the jury, that'd be grounds for conviction.
	Cardiovascular startup. I think this is kind of interesting, the way that these people move from creating a problem to making money off of that problem.
	This is ex-Moderna executives have set up a venture capital firm to fund cardiovascular startups, and they've already raised $260 million.
	So you give people heart conditions with your mRNA at Moderna, And then you move on from that to set up a new venture capital firm that's going to fund the treatment of what you've just caused.
	Isn't that amazing? Boy, I tell you what, these people are evil.
	Just pure evil.
	So, going back to Lindsey Graham and the previous trial from Menendez.
	Outside the courtroom, when we go back seven years ago, I think it was, 2017, This was Lindsey Graham, interviewed by a New Jersey paper as he had testified on behalf of Democrat Menendez.
	Lindsey Graham is a nominal Republican from South Carolina.
	He goes to New Jersey and testifies for Bob Menendez.
	My statement at the court was that if Bob gives you his word, he keeps it, no matter what the pressures are.
	It's as good as gold bars.
	A very honest and honorable guy, and a handshake from Bob was enough.
	Is it difficult for you politically, considering you're based in South Carolina, to come up here and support a New Jersey Democrat?
	I came up here to do what I thought was best for...
	For me, you know, I was asked, could you say something?
	What do you think about Bob?
	Could you tell people what you think about him?
	I disagree with him politically, but I think he's a very honest, honorable guy.
	All my interactions with Bob have been on the up and up, and he's the type of guy that if he gives you his word, he sticks with it, no matter how much pressure is put on him to back off.
	And that's a...
	We need more of that, not less.
	Senator Menendez got teary-eyed when he heard you were coming.
	He got teary-eyed when he heard you were coming.
	Yeah, that's great.
	Yeah, that's Lindsey Graham.
	Yeah, his word is as good as gold.
	Gold bars, actually.
	And so then, you know, we have Lindsey Graham Still out there endorsing people that he likes.
	Here he is. Thumbs up with J.D. Vance in the car.
	I wonder what they're talking about.
	The warmonger.
	Is J.D. Vance really on the side of peace?
	We'll talk about that. Reason doesn't think so.
	I think he's a warmonger, masquerading as an anti-war guy.
	We'll talk about that coming up.
	Lindsey Graham, though, put that picture up of J.D. Vance and himself there.
	He says, Vance is one of the most compelling stories in American politics, overcoming so much adversity in life.
	He understands the struggles of working Americans, blah, blah, blah, bright, articulate.
	So he loves them.
	But of course, those are not necessarily the attributes of people that Graham likes.
	Graham also liked Hunter Biden.
	When they were talking about the gun charges, I don't see any good coming from that.
	You don't? You don't? Yeah, the laws shouldn't apply to the Bidens.
	Shouldn't apply to Menendez.
	He said, average American wouldn't have been charged with such crimes.
	Yeah, really? They are, actually.
	I've seen people charge the crimes of just forgetting that they had a gun on them and going to the airport.
	I think the average American who's done their taxes, like Hunter Biden, would probably have faced prosecution.
	Oh, yeah. You mean $10 million of tax evasion?
	Yeah. Well, we'll see what happens with that.
	Hunter hasn't had his trial for that.
	I think he's been indicted for those allegations.
	But then, as I mentioned, Musk jumps all in with $45 million a month.
	And it's not surprising.
	Because I'm telling you that J.D. Vance, people, where is he politically?
	I mean, he's been all over the place.
	He seems like he's going to do whatever is politically expedient to climb the ladder of success, as one person said, greed and blind ambition.
	He will ally himself with anyone.
	He'll be on both sides of the issue.
	But I know who's on his side.
	Peter Thiel. Peter Thiel, the guy who founded Palantir along with other things.
	He's the guy who's pushing the singularity.
	Look, J.D. Vance is also a venture capitalist.
	He's also involved in biotechnology.
	And quite frankly, from what I see, both he and Trump are perfectly fine with a technocracy.
	That's what Elon Musk is about.
	That's what Peter Thiel is about.
	And hey, if there's money in it, Trump's all there.
	And I think JD Vance really is comfortable with that.
	When you look at some of the things that he does, his reason is looking at his take on free market capitalism.
	He says, well, it really doesn't make sense in some of the things that he says.
	And he's allied himself, as I pointed out yesterday, with Liz Warren in terms of redistribution stuff.
	But that's what Musk and these other guys are about.
	They're about universal basic income.
	They're not necessarily opposed to welfare.
	They will use it to control other people.
	So, Elon Musk is going to put this $45 million a month for Trump into a super PAC. It was formed in late May.
	It's got other high-profile entrepreneurs, such as the guy who was a co-founder of Palantir.
	You know, Alex Karp is the guy who's running it, CEO. Alex Karp is annually, he is one of the now regular attendees at Bilderberg.
	Alex Karp is.
	And this is a very, very dark data mining, predictive programming, anticipatory intelligence, that kind of AI. And Joe Lonsdale was the co-founder of that.
	But, of course, Peter Thiel was the venture capital behind Palantir.
	And then the Winklevoss twins are also part of this super PAC. That Musk is going to put it in.
	It's called America PAC. Let's see.
	Lonsdale donated a million dollars and the Winklevoss twins each contributed $250,000.
	So, yeah.
	One and a half million. And now Musk is going to drop in $45 million.
	Monthly. Monthly.
	The group raised about $8.75 million since its inception, had just under $100,000 in cash at the end of June, but they're about to get a big infusion of more cash from Elon Musk.
	What do you think about having these technocrats and these billionaires who became billionaires through current capitalism?
	What do you think about these people buying government, buying politicians?
	Buying people like Menendez and all the rest of them?
	Buying people like Trump?
	Are you okay with that?
	I am not okay with that.
	This is disgusting.
	And this is why the election is a sham reality TV show.
	Because people like Elon Musk and Peter Thiel own Donald Trump and the rest of these people.
	And the people who run the government are the CIA. When you go back and you look at the things that Musk has done...
	All the self-driving stuff.
	You know, the very first one of these competitions that DARPA ran, and they've done a lot of these things.
	The very first one was self-driving cars.
	And you look at the Brain Initiative and what Elon Musk is doing with Neuralink.
	It all goes back to DARPA. It all goes back to the intelligence community.
	It all goes back to this occultic, satanic group that's taken over our government, took it over right after World War II. Ka-ching!
	Elon Musk donates $45 million a month.
	He previously vowed not to donate to Biden or to Trump.
	Remember that? Just to be clear, I'm not donating money to either candidate for U.S. president, but after J.D. Vance gets in, and after Trump's assassination thing, whatever it was, After that, oh, here's a sure thing.
	I'm going to jump in.
	And notice, $45 million a month.
	We just had the major donors of the Democrat Party said, we've got $90 million amongst them.
	We're going to freeze it.
	We're not going to give it to any Democrat candidates until Biden is gone.
	And then at the same time, Trump is getting $45 million.
	Do you think the people in control want Trump in office?
	Not badly do they want him in office.
	What are they capable of doing in order to get him in office?
	Well, I think we make a big mistake when we underestimate how evil these people can be or when we underestimate their capabilities.
	We're going to take a quick break and we'll be right back.
	Well, after the killing of an innocent man on Saturday, I think that's how we refer to that event.
	That was the most significant thing that came out of it.
	Of course, politically, it's been a big shot in the arm for Trump.
	But right after that, I said, will Trump do gun control again?
	I mentioned that. And I emphasized the again with all uppercase letters.
	And boy, I had a lot of people get very angry with me.
	Oh, you shouldn't be talking about that.
	You pay respects to Trump right now.
	It's like, why? He wasn't hurt? Why should I pay respect to this guy?
	This guy who did gun control by executive or this guy who murdered millions in a depopulation program?
	I constantly get that.
	I constantly get people saying, you need to forgive Trump about this stuff.
	You're bitter about it.
	Well, you know what? He's still in the middle of committing a crime, as far as I'm concerned.
	I have a responsibility to warn people about what I see.
	That's in the Bible, right?
	If you're a watchman on the wall and you see something, you better tell somebody what's going on or it's on you.
	I've told people about January the 6th.
	I told people about the vaccines.
	I always told them.
	I never told them it was sugar water.
	I never told them that January the 6th was going to do anything.
	I told them it was a grift.
	My conscience is clear on that.
	People choose not to listen to it.
	I'm sorry. But all I can do is tell them.
	But I must tell them.
	I must oppose this as it's going on.
	And so we go back and look at Trump.
	Back in 2019, Newsweek pointed out Trump was asking tech companies to detect mass shooters before they strike.
	Yesterday, I talked to a man who worked for Ken Valentine.
	He worked for the Secret Service for 24 years.
	He wrote a book, a very interesting book.
	I wanted to talk to him about his opinion about what happened on Saturday.
	But I also wanted to talk to him about his book because he focused on the values that are a common problem to everybody.
	When you work and you're working hard, you're working long hours, how do you keep your family together, especially if, like Ken Valentine in your work, you're traveling a lot?
	And so I thought that he had a lot of, it was important to address that because he had been able to do that successfully.
	I was concerned when he said that right now he's working for a company that is going to detect weapons from a distance.
	Now you know how that can be abused.
	That can be used for outright total gun control.
	So I was very concerned about that.
	But this is something that goes back to the Trump administration.
	In 2019, August, Trump called for a wide range of bipartisan solutions to help stop future mass shootings.
	How did that work out? Even proposing social media companies create technology that detects potential shooters.
	See, he's not focusing on detecting weapons.
	This is all about a PSYOP stuff.
	Trump responded to a pair of mass shootings within 24 hours of each other in Texas and Ohio over the weekend.
	So is he going to do something about gun control?
	You know, he did try to do and set up the precedent for gun control by executive order.
	He did bump stocks. He did pistol braces.
	He took off the pistol braces about a year and a half after he put it in there, when he was in the middle of fighting the election.
	And then a couple months later, Biden put it back in.
	But it was gun control by executive order that he set it up as a precedent.
	He said, we've got to take the guns and do the due process later with red flags.
	And if that wasn't a red flag for you about Trump, I don't know what is.
	But you notice that in 2019, again, in response to a shooting, doing the same thing that Biden does.
	Whenever there's a shooting, all right, let's do some new gun control.
	Trump did that all the time.
	In 2019, he didn't get as much attention as his red flag or his bump stock.
	But he went after, wanted to use social media surveillance to do pre-crime, to come after people before they commit a crime.
	And so, in the speech, Trump condemned, quote, racism, bigotry, and white supremacy, unquote, before offering several solutions to try and prevent failure, I'm sorry, to try to prevent future barbaric slaughters, as he put it. Which ranged from mental health legislation to big tech detection software to stop mass murderers before they start.
	Now this has ultimately resulted in what people online have identified as GamerGate.
	There's been two of them, just like ClimateGate.
	They're just like ClimateGate.
	They haven't gotten nearly as much attention as they should.
	The President said he will instruct the Justice Department to work with Silicon Valley to create software that will detect potential mass shooters.
	You think the red flag stuff is bad?
	This goes beyond that.
	We're going to look at your social media.
	We're going to identify you as a potential mass shooter and do something about it.
	The perils of the internet and social media cannot be ignored, and they will not be ignored, said Trump.
	I've asked the FBI to investigate and disrupt hate crimes.
	There's no such thing as hate crimes.
	I'm sick of people like Trump and DeSantis pushing hate crimes.
	Said it before, I'll say it again.
	Extremism in defense of free speech is not a vice.
	Moderation of content is not a virtue, folks.
	I hate hate speech crimes, hate speech laws, because they're antithetical to the free expression of religion and to free speech.
	They're antithetical to a free society.
	It will be the tool of dictators, and it's been embraced by Trump and Biden and all of these people.
	It's very easy to see right now.
	When you look at what is happening, they are...
	The conservatives are now saying, look at this, Biden said he's going to target Trump.
	This happened before the shooting.
	Come on.
	Put on a fresh pair of pants that are clean and stop calling for censorship just like the left.
	Speech is violence! Speech is violence!
	No, these are metaphors.
	We can tell the difference. And look, I've called out Steve Bannon, who I think has crossed the line multiple times in terms of direct threats to people.
	And Jack Posobiec.
	Making threats, talking about revenge, talking about how they're going to weaponize government against people.
	But that's a very different thing than talking about these other metaphorical things.
	And look, both sides have played this.
	Both sides have accused Trump and other people.
	Both sides have accused Biden and other people of hate speech when there was no hate speech, when they were using metaphors.
	Metaphors for this stuff.
	By the way, Jason Barker emailed Travis.
	Travis put this note up and just got it...
	He said YouTube is now going after content creators who have firearms and firearm accessory sponsors.
	They're striking channels for any videos done after June 18th, but now also going back and issuing strikes retroactively and terminating channels.
	Jason included an email from Hickok45 that's two and a half minutes long.
	I might play that coming up.
	Hickok45, if you don't know, is a shooting expert, one of the biggest channels on YouTube for firearms.
	He's really a very good shooter.
	And he knows a lot about guns, and it's a very useful channel.
	We've seen several of his videos.
	Travis is more familiar with it than I am, but I've seen several of his videos.
	And so, yeah, YouTube is going to shut all this stuff down.
	But look, it's the same thing that Jonathan Turley and other people are complaining about with Biden.
	You can't talk about Target.
	Not the store, but any kind of Target.
	You can't talk about that. We're going to even purge the words out of the language.
	Folks, this is no different than the pronoun police.
	And now we're going to have the firearm police out there as well.
	We've got to stop letting people infringe on our free speech.
	It is no virtue to do that.
	So, anyway, Trump saying, I've asked the FBI to investigate and disrupt hate crimes and domestic terrorism, equating the two.
	Whatever they need, he said.
	First, we must do a better job of identifying and acting on early warning signs, and I'm directing the Department of Justice to work in partnership with local, state, and federal agencies as well as with social media companies to develop tools that can detect mass shooters before they strike.
	He went on to call for mental health funding and legislation as well as regulation of violent video games that created what he called twisted and mentally ill monsters.
	Who commit mass shooting.
	This is Tipper Gore on steroids, folks.
	We must stop the glorification of violence in our society, he said.
	Gruesome, grisly video games that are now commonplace are too easy for troubled youth to surround themselves with a culture that celebrates violence.
	Look, this has always been an argument, and parents need to be the ones to police this stuff.
	And they need to make those kinds of judgments, not the government.
	It doesn't take a village to raise a child.
	It takes a family. It takes parents.
	And maybe what you don't do is just leave your kids in front of the TV set.
	If you do that, your kid could likely turn into a mass murder or change their gender or whatever.
	I mean, that box is evil, folks.
	You don't leave a child in front of that.
	You'd be better off to take them down and leave them in a strip club.
	So, like the pandemic, like the executive gun control orders that he put out, this agenda was just passed on to Biden.
	The two of them are working hand in glove.
	And so, in 2022, this is 2019, Trump is doing it, right?
	And then, by the time we get to 2022, we see that Homeland Security is investing $700,000, right?
	And spying on kids who are playing games online.
	And look, I don't, you know, as a parent, I don't like those games.
	But again, there's a very troubling element of this that is pre-crime.
	And it goes back to Palantir.
	Staying in the 2019 article...
	He also said that pre-identifying mass shooters, pre-identifying them, this is pre-crime.
	Reports have indicated that a company run by Trump supporter and PayPal mafia investor Peter Thiel, Palantir, has online tracking capabilities similar to a minority report.
	The pre-crime capability we saw portrayed in that.
	This is Newsweek 2019.
	And again, who is J.D. Vance's big supporter?
	Most of the reports I saw say that Peter Thiel gave him $10 million.
	One of the reports that I saw that was out of Ohio said $15 million.
	Either way, it's extraordinary to have that come from one person, from Peter Thiel.
	Trump called on law enforcement and tech companies to work together to identify disturbed minds who may commit acts of violence.
	So I'm very bothered by all this pre-crime stuff.
	I'm very bothered by the red flag stuff.
	I'm very bothered by snooping on games.
	And he went even further.
	He said in addition to allowing such people to get treatment, Some of them should be subjected to, quote, involuntary confinement should they pose too great a public risk.
	This is one of the favorite tactics of the Marxists to take their political opponents and put them in an insane asylum and say they're crazy because, you know, hey, if you oppose Stalin, you've got to be crazy, right?
	This is Trump. We're going to identify kids before they do anything.
	And we might put them in involuntary confinement.
	But understand that they are also entrapping these kids.
	Here's a clip of, and this came in with esports and other things like that.
	And they play this in a very seductive way.
	They've got a very cute young girl who is talking to people about how to get involved in eSports.
	And then in this video, first they show you this girl.
	Then as she's talking and doing other things, you hear her voice.
	They're putting up article after article after article about how Homeland Security and the Department of Justice is funding all these things to entrap, to entice, to entrap.
	To put these people in a pigeonhole and then perhaps to do involuntary confinement.

	Well, that's part of Gamergate, right?
	Gamergate. And it goes back to Trump administration.
	As a matter of fact, it goes back to Bill Barr.
	Bill Barr, who was appointed to be Attorney General again, he had been George H.W. Bush's Attorney General at a very, very young age.
	He had been George H.W. Bush's number two guy to rebuild the CIA after the damage that was done with the Church Committee hearings.
	Of course, FISA was what came out after that, but then they used FISA. It was supposed to restrict them from spying on Americans without a search warrant.
	They used it to give them an excuse to spy on Americans without a search warrant.
	And H.W. Put Bill Barr in as his Attorney General.
	Trump brought back Bill Barr.
	I used to always call him CIA Barr.
	And in 2019, when I just read to you the statements being made by Trump in the aftermath of the shooting, Whitney Webb did an excellent article back in October of 2019.
	With little fanfare, William Barr formally announces an Orwellian pre-crime program.
	So Trump makes the announcement, but he gives it to his CIA guy, Bill Barr, to implement.
	Barr issued a memorandum to all U.S. attorneys announcing the imminent implementation of a new national disruption and early engagement program.
	That's what he called it. Aimed at detecting potential mass shooters before they commit any crime.
	Again, he's appointed in February.
	In May. He puts the long list of charges against Julian Assange.
	And you got Pompeo later talking about how they could kill him.
	And then in October, they do this.
	Pre-crime. Barr has, quote, directed the Department of Justice and the FBI to lead an effort to refine our ability to identify, assess, engage potential mass shooters before they strike.
	An efficient, effective, and programmatic strategy to disrupt individuals who are mobilizing towards violence.
	By all lawful means, of course.
	Or maybe you identify some people like this troubled and bullied kid on Saturday.
	Maybe you use them as a patsy.
	Well, you got the real shooters there.
	Huh? It's kind of...
	I tell you, our government and what it does...
	Absolutely disgust me when I look into this cesspool.
	Barr seeks to use all this stuff to identify potential, potential criminals as part of his new policy.
	Involuntarily commit the person and do the due process later, maybe.
	Right? You know, this is all this pre-crime stuff.
	For the longest time, the geospatial intelligence guys that James Clapper grew up with, grew his career with, They talked about anticipatory intelligence.
	AI. That AI. Anticipatory intelligence.
	But now, what do they do? They use artificial intelligence to feed the anticipatory intelligence.
	I guess we could call it AI squared.
	Right? It's kind of what I would imagine they would name it.
	Bar notes, quote, newly developed tactics, unquote, used by the Joint Terrorist Task Force, Includes the use of clinical psychologists, threat assessment professionals, intervention teams and community groups to detect risk and suggest that the new early engagement program, that he called it, will work along similar lines.
	Yeah, and another one of these, and this is what it looks like today, after they've been working on this for five years.
	To protect threat actors when they're young or starting out at 14 or 15, that's when I start observing and documenting their malicious activities.
	Because when they're at that age or stage in their career, they're a lot more careless and open.
	They tend to show off more.
	There is a common misconception about hackers.
	Wherein we think they solely operate on financial gain.
	But I think hacking is a lot about knowledge and power.
	Unlike in the physical world, you don't need to come from a privileged background or a rich family or a famous family.
	So the bottom line is, if your kid's online, if they're playing games or something, think of somebody like her.
	It's going to be psychoanalyzing them.
	Well, you know, I think they're early in their career, so let's involuntarily commit them.
	Let's put them on a watch list.
	Yeah, like a no-fly list or something like that, but it's a watch list for kids who play games, entrapping them.
	So he said, the goal of the program is to find new and likely controversial ways to determine intent.
	Well, that's actually not what he said.
	That's what Whitney Webb described it back in 2019, five years ago.
	The use of algorithms to analyze bulk data.
	See? Artificial intelligence.
	It's not something new.
	Something DARPA created.
	Something they've been using for quite some time.
	Using artificial intelligence to do anticipatory intelligence.
	No mention was made of Barr's clear push over the past few months to lay groundwork for this recently announced program.
	Barr has spearheaded numerous efforts to this end, including pushing for a government backdoor into consumer apps or devices that utilize encryption, and for a dramatic increase of longstanding yet controversial warrantless electronic surveillance programs.
	Are you trying to get the idea that they're on the same team?
	That Trump is just like what the FBI and the CIA and all the rest of these people.
	Maybe that's why Trump put in the people like Gina Haskell, who lied us into the Iraq war after doing torture.
	Promoted her to the head of the CIA. I mean, that's why he put in Bill Barr.
	George H.W. Bush's CIA guy.
	Maybe that's why he does the same things that the conservatives are so concerned about when Biden does it.
	But it's okay when Trump does it.
	Because even though it looks like he is setting up a dystopian Orwellian system.
	Oh, he's just playing 4D chess.
	Don't worry about it. It only looks like he's betraying you in the Constitution.
	And so, you know, setting up a system.
	To entrap and to do psychoanalysis on kids at a very young age.
	More recently, of course this was back in 2019, Barr and the UK Home Secretary Priti Patel signed a data access agreement that allows both countries to demand electronic data on consumers from tech companies.
	This is the Five Eyes stuff.
	This is the London-Langley axis.
	Gina Haspel was the CIA head in London.
	And London and Langley are very much involved in this.
	But of course the Five Eyes includes Canada, New Zealand, Australia as well.
	They want to be able to demand electronic data on consumers from tech companies based in the other country without any legal restrictions.
	You see, this is how they operate and get around any restrictions about FISA or any local laws.
	It's like, well, I'm not spying on them.
	The British are spying on them.
	And then the British just turn this stuff over to them.
	I'm just accepting the data.
	I didn't spy on them. It's actually the British.
	And then vice versa. You know, we return the favor.
	If the British want somebody spied upon domestically, illegally, well, the CIA does it for them and gives them the data.
	What a joke.
	It's the first executive agreement under Trump reached as part of the controversial Clarifying Overseas Use of Data Act.
	They called it the Cloud Act.
	And it was passed by Congress in 2018.
	The Cloud Act has come under fire from rights groups who have warned that the legislation gives, quote, unlimited jurisdiction to U.S. law enforcement over any data controlled by a service provider, regardless of where the data is stored, and regardless of who created it.
	This also applies to content, to metadata, to subscriber information, including private messages.
	Yes, Barr and Patel, writes Whitney Webb in 2019, claimed that the data access agreement will instead enhance civil liberties and will further asserted that the agreement would be used to go after pedophiles in organized crime.
	Isn't it amazing, you know, how they have played the MAGA people?
	You've got James Caviezel, you've got all these people out there saying, oh, we've got to shut down the pedo rings, we've got to shut down the pedo rings, maybe you need to look at the top of your party.
	Maybe you need to look at Trump's relationships with Jeffrey Epstein.
	Maybe you need to look at this picture of these two young girls, very young girls, on the couch with Trump and Epstein, the two party bros who were inseparable back in the late 90s and early 2000s.
	Until they got into a spat over who was going to buy a particular piece of property in West Palm Beach.
	Yeah. You want to look at a pedophile ring?
	Start with your leader!
	You want to look at the globalists?
	Start with your leader!
	It's amazing to me.
	You want to look at how the FBI is being weaponized against Americans?
	Start with Trump and Bill Barr.
	And tell people that you're going to be spying on everybody on the internet so that you can go after pedophiles.
	They don't ever go after pedophiles.
	They don't ever release the information that Epstein had, right?
	They keep that stuff secret. You can get Ghislaine Maxwell convicted, but we don't want to see the client list.
	Keep that secret. So, as Whitney Webb pointed out, they've shown no interest, even five years ago, in pursuing the co-conspirators of child sex trafficker and pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, whose sex trafficking network has been linked to both organized crime and the intelligence agencies of both the U.S. and Israel.
	Some have charged that the lack of interest on the part of Bill Barr is due to the fact that Barr's father once hired the now deceased pedophile, Jeffrey Epstein.
	You see the pictures of Trump.
	You see the relationships of Trump and others.
	You see the party pictures of Trump and Melania with Epstein and Ghislaine.
	It's just amazing to me that people think that Trump is going to lock up all the pedophiles.
	Why do they think that? Well, because they've been told that by people like Alex Jones.
	Just hammering that out.
	Oh, yeah, he's doing all this stuff.
	He's come out to the pedophile networks.
	And yet, even Epstein. His father had connections with Epstein.
	It's just amazing. It's this really small circle.
	Of satanic individuals.
	Notably, Jeffrey Epstein also had an apparent interest in pre-crime technology, was a key funder of a controversial technology company called Carbine 911, along with former Israeli Prime Minister and close Epstein associate Ehud Barak.
	Carbine 911 is one of several Israeli companies that market their software products to the U.S. as a means of reducing mass shootings and improving response times of emergency service providers.
	These companies boast numerous troubling connections to governments and intelligence communities of both countries, both the U.S. and Israel.
	Epstein himself was linked to the intelligence apparatus of both nations, and he invested at least a million dollars in carbine 9-1-1 through a data mining company that he controlled.
	Following the El Paso shooting, Trump has been mulling the creation of a new federal agency known as HARPA. That would work with the Department of Justice to use, quote, breakthrough technologies with high specificity and sensitivity for early diagnosis of neuropsychiatric violence, specifically, quote, advanced analytical tools based on artificial intelligence.
	2019. So, yeah, it puts all of his take the gun do the due process later stuff all the red flag pushes and puts it in a whole new light doesn't it. It is important to note that such initiatives whether it's HARPA or whether it's BARR's newly announced program are likely to define mental illness to include some political beliefs and now we know we look at GamerGate 2 what do you see?
	That $700,000 contract that was there it focused on identifying 14 and 15 year old kids who are white nationalists. White nationalists.
	That's what it focused on. So it truly is amazing to see how long this has gone on isn't it?
	And so, with all of this being said, the last American Vagabond had a piece that was picked up by Free Thought Project, why we must question the attempted assassination of Donald Trump.
	And they're exactly right.
	Regardless of who is behind this, regardless of what happened, regardless of all your conspiracy theories about this or that, right?
	Regardless of whether it was what it presented at face value, or whether it was Biden and the FBI trying to get Trump standing down, you know, letting this guy get there, getting out of the way.
	Oh yeah, we've seen him, you know, reports about him for a half hour.
	People yelling and screaming for 90 seconds before he gets his shots off and everything.
	Regardless of how you're suspicious about that, even if you think that it was set up for the benefit of Trump, that they intentionally missed, even if he wasn't hit in the ear, even if they just smashed a squib against his hand and so forth, regardless of what you think about it, again, it's like 9-11.
	Regardless of what you think about 9-11, look at how it was used.
	Regardless of what you think about this event, Don't lose sight.
	Don't get caught up in the weeds of what happened so that you can't see how they're going to use this.
	That's the important thing.
	That is far more important than what actually happened.
	Because as Ron Paul said, you probably will never know exactly what happened.
	Just like you'll never know what happened with 9-11.
	But be careful about how it's going to be used.
	That's why I said, first thing I said was, how are they going to use this, first of all, to push gun control once Trump gets in?
	And why are they pushing Trump?
	So he says, regardless of who's behind this, the incident will be used to further bolster support for a corrupted political system.
	It'll be used to push fear.
	It'll be used to push control.
	It'll be used to push new ways to surveil us.
	New ways to psychoanalyze and imprison us without due process.
	That's how this is going to be used.
	That's the real danger.
	That's what you should be paying attention to.
	So, again, as he's talking about this, he mentions some of the issues about, you know, back to their reports for so long.
	The fact that they had sniper teens inside the building where the eye was, and they're reporting stuff and nothing is happening.
	That was reported by local press.
	Unconfirmed reports of even of a second shooter.
	There were at least two unconfirmed reports stating that a second gunman was on the scene.
	A woman speaking to NBC News following the shooter told a reporter that she heard there was a second shooter involved.
	What I've heard coming out is they feel there were two shooters, one on both sides.
	They got the one on the tower, but the one on the right side they never got.
	That's why they wanted us to leave immediately because they thought there was a second shooter out there.
	Well, who benefits from all this stuff?
	Who benefits from all this confusion, chaos, and fear?
	As the dust settles, writes Vagabond, on the assassination attempt, the Republican Party It's also important that we do not blindly trust the narratives being fed to us by the corporate media, by the FBI, or by social media.
	And so these are a few possibilities that we need to consider.
	First of all, his near miss, or we should say maybe a near hit, may simply be the result of failure on the part of the Secret Service.
	If that's the case, the question of how Trump's Secret Service detail could fail so magnificently remains.
	That's what I said the first day. I said, when you look at incompetence, when it gets up to a certain level, it becomes malicious.
	Especially it becomes malicious when it persists.
	This opens the door to the idea that the Secret Service had been compromised in some way.
	Another option is that the event was scripted in some capacity, although the full cast of actors is yet to be determined.
	Would the predator class stage such an attempt to send a message to Trump to keep playing ball?
	Or perhaps it was intended for the lone gunman to succeed so they could use his death to incite a civil war.
	Or perhaps they wanted a near-miss event.
	So they could push Trump into the presidency.
	All these things are possibilities.
	But the important thing is to understand how they're going to use it.
	He said, personally, I'm of the belief, based on the fact that Trump is simply another player for the predator class, that actually controls the political parties and the government.
	He says, I've been warning since at least 2018 that Donald Trump is not a friend of liberty, says the last American vagabond.
	He is not a hero. He's not a savior.
	He is an actor playing a role.
	100% agreement with that.
	Interestingly, when you compare pictures from his time in the World Wrestling Entertainment, WWE, to Saturday's fist-pumping moment, they're eerily similar.
	Is all of this just another act?
	I believe so, and I said that on day one.
	I said it's not courage.
	It's an act. He knew that there was...
	Let's just go with the face value.
	Let's just say that this is what it was.
	It was incompetence.
	It was as presented.
	At that point, the shooting has stopped.
	He hears these people. We've heard the recording.
	They're telling him, it's all done. Let's get him out of here.
	Wait, wait, wait. I've got to get my shoes.
	I've got to get my shoes. Three times.
	Then he gets his shoes. Then he does the fist bumping thing.
	As Bill Maher said, it's amazing.
	Take one. He got it right.
	Okay. But that's what he does.
	That's what he's really good at.
	He's not so great at running businesses.
	He ran six casinos in the ground.
	He's not so great at running the government.
	But he's good at the acting stuff.
	Trump's connections to Epstein, his mentorship with Roy Cohn, a known pedophile.
	Yeah, you want to talk about a pedophile, right?
	You look at Bill Barr, his dad hired Epstein.
	Trump hangs out with him.
	Trump hangs out with Roy Cohn.
	I showed you a picture of all the different...
	People that Trump hung out with and did business with are known pedophiles now.
	His bailing out, being bailed out of the bankruptcy in the casino in Taj Mahal by the Rothschild bankers in the 1990s.
	Wilbur Ross, he was sent there to shut this down.
	He realized when he saw how Trump was able to control the crowds, how crazy they were about him.
	He actually said it in press.
	He said, we could use this guy, the Rothschilds.
	So they worked out a deal. They keep his name on the building.
	Because that's what he cares about.
	So, his bailing out by the Rothschild bankers in the 1990s.
	Plenty of reasons to be skeptical of the narrative that Trump is the only thing standing in the way of complete and total tyranny.
	Especially when he displays authoritarian leanings himself.
	He's useful to the predator class.
	He is the great divider.
	He stokes the flames of division while duping well-intentioned patriots into making excuses for his anti-liberty actions.
	As I said over and over again, Trump is a one-man Mason-Dixon line.
	He is the line over which people are going to fight the Civil War.
	An attempted assassination on Trump only empowers him further, solidifies the near deification of him by his devout followers, his devout idolaters.
	In fact, I think it's a very real possibility that Trump plays this up as saved-by-the-hand-of-God angle and pushes further towards evangelical Christian Zionism and nationalism post-assassination.
	It's exactly what's happening. Some Christian leaders across the US have already attributed Trump's survival to protection from God.
	Trump himself thanked the American people for prayers and said it was God alone who prevented the unthinkable from happening.
	We will fear not, but instead remain resilient in our faith and defy it in the face of wickedness.
	So the last American Vagabond says, so what comes next?
	next.
	Well, order out of chaos.
	People on both sides of the false left-right paradigm are already buckling down further into their manufactured silos and their prescribed narratives which confirm their basis.
	The predator class wants chaos so they can implement order.
	You want to have disruption.
	You want to do it from the inside.
	And you want to do it iteratively.
	Look at this election.
	This selection, unlike the others that we've had, they're not even pretending to follow a pattern.
	Not even pretending to follow their rules, their laws.
	If Trump surviving an assassination attempt serves their goals better, they'll choose that route.
	They are not omnipotent and they are not invincible, but history shows a predator class running the shadow government is absolutely capable of pulling off staged events that have both real and fake elements.
	I encourage readers not to fall for these storylines and believe them as reality. This is the key thing.
	narrative.
	It's all about creating chaos.
	And it's about pulling people into this charade of politics and engineered elections.
	The chaos is only beginning.
	The fanatical status on the left and the right will continue to fight for the ring of power.
	Each of them swearing that Trump is the only way to stop Biden and the communists or that Biden is the only safe bet to keep Trump from returning to power.
	They're both correct.
	And they're both also selling a false dichotomy to Americans who have not yet grasped that politics is not the answer to our problems.
	He's met the enemy, and he is in the U.S. government.
	We have to remain calm.
	That's what I said after Trump did the executive order on that Friday the 13th.
	I came in, opened up the program with the slogans from World War II. They were put out as they were looking at the Nazis on the other side of the English Channel.
	You know, keep calm and carry on.
	And freedom is in peril.
	Defend it with all your might. That's still true.
	We must not fall for the age old trap of believing that political puppets are the only pathway toward a more just world.
	The real solution is to exit from slavery systems and to build alternatives.
	We'll talk more about that when we return.
	So, what's the plan?
	We're going to the next planet.
	Making sense. Common again.
	You're listening to The David Knight Show.
	Well, let's talk about what the real battle is.
	You know, we've got to get over this idea, I think, that we're going to get somebody that's going to save us in Washington.
	And yet, we have a lot of people, I think...
	Don't really understand what is happening here.
	Todd Starnes, and he's done a lot of good work, but he urged Christians to leave churches if their pastor didn't preach on the Trump attack on Sunday.
	I saw that headline and I thought, what in the world is that about?
	If your pastor did not address the assassination attempt in today's service, you need to find another church.
	There is tremendous spiritual warfare, he said, being waged in this country.
	There is no time for limp-wristed, woke evangelicals, he wrote.
	And he's not the only one saying this assassination was spiritual warfare.
	I think what happened on Saturday, the assassination attempt against President Trump reminded a lot of people this or awakened a lot of people to this.
	There is a spiritual battle underway.
	There is no logical way to understand what we're seeing now in temporal terms.
	You just can't. These are not political divides.
	Yeah, yeah. Not political divides.
	There you go. You know what spiritual warfare is?
	Take a look at the picture of Trump on the couch.
	Jeffrey Epstein. These guys don't know where the battlefield is.
	They don't know who's on God's side and who is opposing Him in this spiritual warfare.
	And so going back to the quote from Todd Starnes, James White, this is an article from a Christian Post, got the responses of several people to Todd Starnes saying, well, if your pastor didn't talk about Trump's assassination attempt on Sunday, you need to get out of that church.
	James White, a well-known pastor and elder at Apologia Church in Tempe, Arizona Also serves as director of Alpha and Omega Ministries in Phoenix.
	Said Starn's comment about what pastors should be preaching about on Sunday was out of order.
	Urged him to get, quote, back in your lane.
	He says, you've got to be kidding me.
	No, sir, I did not address the assassination attempt in today's service.
	I taught on Jesus' view of Scripture, actually.
	There would have been nothing wrong in mentioning it.
	There would have been nothing wrong even praying about it.
	In fact, if we had wanted to address again the proper role of the church in calling magistrates to obedience to Christ, something we were doing long before it became popular after 2020, that would have been fine as well.
	But how dare you get on your high horse and pretend to dictate to the elders of Christ's churches what they must address on a given Lord's Day from the pulpit, lest they be labeled limp-wristed, woke evangelicals?
	You need to apologize to this absurd tweet.
	Delete it and get back in your lane.
	Reverend Johanan Tate, senior pastor at the New Era Baptist Church in Middletown, Ohio, where J.D. Vance is from.
	Said he didn't preach about the attempted assassination of the former president.
	Said it had nothing to do with spiritual warfare.
	I didn't preach about it, and I guarantee not one member of our church will leave.
	This is not spiritual warfare.
	He said, try again. Yeah, see, the problem is that political commentators like Todd Starn and Tucker Carlson don't understand what spiritual warfare is.
	You know, take a look at things like the lust of the flesh.
	Perhaps the people that have been put up to speak to those at the RNC. The lust of the eye.
	The pride of life.
	All of these different things. As I said before, I think the lust of the flesh we're talking about, and the lust of the eye and the pride of life, I think we're talking about sex, money, and power.
	You can see all of that on display, not on Saturday, but you see it at the RNC. And you see Trump putting up people like Amber Rose.
	I've got a comment here on Rumble.
	David, Amber Rose spoke at the RNC on Monday.
	Basically, she bragged about how the Republican Party endorses abortion and the LGBT agenda.
	Trump has brought this party far left.
	LifeSite News reports.
	Yeah, I've got that in here to talk about, as a matter of fact.
	And I talked about the fact that he was going to have her speak.
	A couple of weeks ago, they were talking about it.
	But getting back to this, as Pastor Clifford Mays, who didn't share his affiliation, also disagreed with Stern's position, he said, I'm a pastor.
	I did not address the assassination attempt, but I did declare Jesus Christ, His crucifixion, resurrection, ascension, and His return.
	Jesus is my King.
	He is the only one who saves.
	Taylor Combs, a pastor at King's Cross Church in Nashville, Tennessee, said, It was a bit more nuanced, says this article on Christian Post.
	He said, But that's no reason to leave, he said.
	It's possible to hold together truth from both sides on this.
	For example, I do think it would have been wise for pastors to address this yesterday.
	People came to church with it on their minds.
	Some were fearful, sad, angry.
	Shepherds are called to speak the gospel to this.
	But he also doesn't think it's wise for pastors to just preach the gospel, he said.
	Just preaching the gospel doesn't carry the weight here that some think.
	Did John the Baptist just preach the gospel to Herod?
	Paul, when he confronted Peter.
	James, when he addressed partiality.
	We speak the gospel to real-life realities, not in order to escape those realities.
	And so, a lot of people talked about Trump's close call with death.
	Depending on what you think about this event.
	This headline, An Inch Away from Eternity.
	I think it would have been better for him to put from ear to eternity.
	That would have been a catcher headline.
	Maybe we'll use that.
	I don't know. But, by the way, I'm one of these doubting Thomases who say, show me the wound.
	But nevertheless, the point is, he said, you and I are always just an inch away from eternity.
	He said, he's preached a lot of funerals over 40 years. He said, I can tell you that many times a person's death is sudden and unexpected. He said, I've officiated a funeral for a 16 year old girl whose skull was crushed by a tree that was cut down by some teenager goofing around in the mountains. If that tree had fallen an inch or two in a different direction, she might still be alive today.
	I've buried car accident victims who may have lived if the driver had turned the steering wheel a mere inch in a different direction.
	When death comes unexpectedly, our mortality awareness index heightens.
	And it's at times like this that the biggest question of life should bubble to the top of our minds.
	What happens after you die?
	You know, the first thing that we do when we have a picture of a group and we're in the group is to look at ourselves in the picture, isn't it?
	Yeah, admit it. You do it.
	Everybody does it. First one you look at is yourself in the picture.
	And when somebody dies, somebody that you know or somebody that you don't really know but you know a lot about because they're a celebrity, a public figure, something like that, the first thing you do is you look to find yourself in that picture, isn't it?
	Am I in that picture? What did they die from?
	Oh, well, good. I don't smoke or I didn't take the shot or whatever, so that's a relief.
	No, you're in the picture.
	There's a lot of things that can take us out.
	As a matter of fact, I had a friend that was diagnosed with a very slow type of cancer.
	I remember it was back in the mid or late 90s.
	He lived for, what's another, 20 years.
	Got all his friends together.
	We prayed about it and everything.
	He lived for another 20 years, but he was on his way to chemotherapy one day.
	And he said a big sheet of something came off, flipped off of a car that was in front of him on the interstate.
	And just barely went over the roof of his car.
	And he said a couple of inches lower and it would have killed me.
	He said, I thought about this. He said, I'm on my way to get into chemotherapy.
	And I nearly had my head taken off on the interstate.
	And he said, at that point, it was actually a very comforting thing.
	Not that he'd had a near hit and it had missed.
	But what was comforting was the fact that he said, my life is in God's hands.
	He's going to determine when I die and what manner of death.
	Jesus made it very clear that one or two things is going to happen after death.
	He said, truly I say to you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and will not be judged, but has already crossed over from death to life.
	And we talked about this yesterday in my interview with a Secret Service agent.
	He said that was fundamental to his being a Christian, that certainty, that security, that promise.
	And I said, yeah, me too. Me too.
	Grew up in a different tradition.
	He said, this guy says, do you know that you're going to go to heaven after you die?
	What are you trusting in? If you don't know that you're going to go to heaven, then you're obviously not trusting in Christ's words or his work, his finished work on your behalf.
	He says, I know.
	And it's not because I'm a good person.
	I'm a sinner. If you don't believe me, he said, ask my friends and family.
	But I know that I'm going to heaven.
	And so he puts out an acrostic, I would say, an acronym to spell out gospel.
	But basically, he's talking about the fact that sins cannot be removed by good deeds.
	That's something that Trump doesn't understand.
	Trump, like all of us, could be in the hands of an angry God.
	It used to be something that we covered in school.
	When I was in school, we covered that sermon by Jonathan Edwards.
	At about the time of the Great Awakening, it had a big political and social impact on the American colonies because, folks, politics is downstream from culture.
	Culture is downstream from God and your relationship to Him.
	And so, they used to understand that.
	They used to teach that in schools.
	Jonathan Edwards, sinners in the hand of an angry God, goes back to Deuteronomy 32, where God says, their foot shall slide in due time.
	He said, you know, the lesson we learn from this is that we're all exposed to destruction.
	We're all liable to fall at any time.
	And it will be at the appointed time.
	That feet will slide.
	And that God will not hold them up.
	He's holding you up.
	He's keeping you alive.
	He's protecting you from that bullet that just whizzed by your head or that piece of material that's flipped off of that truck or that tree that fell or that car.
	God is protecting you on a regular basis until the appointed time.
	And then what happens after you die again?
	Is it going to be based on the good things that you've done?
	Well, that's not what the Bible says.
	It's based on the good things that Christ has done.
	If you trust in Him.
	And that's the key thing.
	Do you want to have the wages of what you have done in this life?
	And that's what was so sad.
	I do have sympathy for Trump.
	When I saw multiple times, I played this, talked about it weeks ago, multiple times people said, well, you talk a lot about the Bible.
	You talk about, you know, you hold the Bible up, you do this, have you ever asked for forgiveness?
	Well, no, not really. I don't think I really need forgiveness.
	Well, if you're going to stand on what you have done, the wages of sin are death.
	And you're not going to be able to undo that.
	You need to have God's forgiveness.
	The question is, how do you get it?
	Jack Hibbs, who's a pastor in California.
	Yeah, Southern California.
	I don't know his church.
	I don't know this guy. So I'm not...
	Don't write me letters about, if you hate what he has to say, just talking about what he said in this particular incident here.
	Again, I'm not holding him forward as some standard.
	I don't know anything about what he says, just like I read those quotes from other people responding to Todd Starnes.
	But what he said is, Mr.
	President, you said today that God protected you.
	So he said, but who is God, Mr.
	President? Who is he?
	What is his name? You've heard it for years.
	He says it's time to bow the knee.
	It's time to say that Jesus Christ is Lord, that he's the one that rules over the affairs of man.
	He loves. He died on the cross.
	He rose again.
	From the grave, it's Jesus Christ, the King of kings, Lord of lords.
	He desires that all men should come to worship him in spirit and truth.
	This has been a warning, Mr.
	Trump, by an almighty God.
	So that your ear might be sanctified.
	So will you hear this? Open up his ear, right?
	He says, can you hear this?
	Listen to the word of God.
	Stop talking about God and come to know God.
	This makes all the difference, he said.
	And yet, what do we see after all this?
	Well, we've got Greg Laurie who says, we often speak of somebody dodging a bullet.
	But for Trump, this really became reality.
	Our hearts go out to the family of Corey Comparatore, the one I talked about who shielded his family from the assassin's bullet and died.
	He was a heroic husband, father, firefighter, regular churchgoer who had a love for Christ, needless to say, for his family.
	We fervently pray for the swift healing of the two critically wounded individuals and for God's hand of comfort over everyone who was affected by this senseless act of political violence.
	And yet... What is God's providence in sparing Trump's life or anybody else?
	It serves multiple purposes.
	The author of this, Dissenter, is the author, says that while it is possible that God is using this to further harden Trump's heart, much like he did with Pharaoh during the plagues, it's also possible that this is an act of divine mercy.
	Perhaps God is giving Trump an opportunity to repent, to believe in the gospel.
	And again, we're saying that this is an event that is what it appears to be on face value.
	Trump claims to be a Christian, but he's demonstrated no real understanding of who God is who he is before God While somewhat friendly to Christians Trump has demonstrated an attitude of arrogance towards God Trump doesn't believe that he needs to ask forgiveness from God because he hasn't done anything that requires it furthermore. There's a troubling subsect of professing Christians who have elevated Trump to near Messiah like status
	From charismatic false prophets who twist the scriptures to portray Trump as an end time Savior to those who put their ultimate trust in him This kind of idolatry is dangerous Peace.
	As a matter of fact, we have a woman...
	Who is a charismatic seer.
	Jennifer LeClaire takes credit for saving Trump from the assassination.
	I wouldn't call her a seer.
	I think it's better to call her a fortune teller.
	These are people who are descended from the Witch of Endor, quite frankly.
	This is the same lady who teaches that demons sometimes spy on people in the form of houseflies.
	In her case, she has had to bind, blind, and deafen these monitoring spirits to get rid of them.
	The housefly. I would suggest you just swat them.
	That's my approach.
	The Lord said, when I was in the cab heading toward Trump's 2016 inauguration, the Lord said this and put this there publicly.
	He said, danger, danger, stranger, danger.
	It's not coming from where you think.
	And in that moment, I didn't know what the timing of that word was, but I felt an urgency.
	And we alerted intercessors around the world.
	And so she says that even though she didn't know what it was about, she thwarted it through prayer because she recently had another guy who calls himself a prophet on her show, Chris Reed.
	He made vague prophecies about a potential assassination attempt on Trump's life in a 16-month window from April 2024 to July 2025.
	And he picked April.
	Because of the recent solar eclipse.
	It had great spiritual significance, he said.
	And that solar eclipse, he said, caused and unleashed a shaking in the world.
	These people are just occultists.
	They're dressing themselves up in Christianity, but they're just people who dabble in the occult.
	So we're going to take a quick break.
	When we come back, we're going to talk a little bit about some pro-family news that I really do think is important for us to look at some helpful things for parents as well as some of the current events.
	We'll be right back. 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, I had a tip on Rockfin from Gregory Dyer.
	Thank you very much. He says, what are they trying to do to Mr.
	Trump now? Anyway, it did not work.
	So what do you think is the next move?
	Quite frankly, I don't make predictions like that.
	I'm just looking at trends.
	I honestly, my gut feeling has been for the longest time they're going to keep Biden there.
	I said that from the very beginning.
	And I think that they want Trump in.
	And I said that because I think Trump is the one that is, he's just as easy for them to control as Biden is.
	And when they have Trump in, that gives them control of the conservatives who would normally be the biggest ones to oppose the globalist agenda.
	The liberal people love the globalist agenda.
	Conservatives don't like it, but as long as Trump is there, well, hey, it's 4-D chess.
	We can trust him to watch out for us.
	We don't even need to buy guns.
	You know, when the Republicans get in, they don't buy guns.
	But then when the Democrats get in, there's a big thing about buying guns.
	So that's what I think is going to be happening from this selection.
	Let's talk a little bit about some family news.
	We had a mom who...
	Well, I'll just tell you what happened.
	It truly is amazing.
	Pro-abortion media outlets recently shared emotional stories about women facing pregnancy complications in Idaho, where they have the Defense of Life Act, protects most pre-born children from an induced abortion, the intentional killing.
	This act was at the center of a recent Supreme Court case in which the Biden administration claimed that it violated the Federal Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act, which mandates stabilizing care for patients during a medical emergency.
	So the New York Times picked up the story of Nicole Miller.
	It said that Miller was airlifted out of Idaho to Utah, where she underwent a D&E, a dilation and evacuation abortion.
	A procedure in which her baby boy was dismembered.
	The problem is this procedure is not listed as part of the standard care for the health complications that she was experiencing.
	Even worse, it appears that she was unaware of the abortion until after she woke up and was informed by the nurse that her son had been dismembered and removed from her womb.
	Wow. You know, we see occasionally situations where somebody goes to a hospital and there's some condition.
	They have to have a limb amputated.
	And they amputate the wrong limb.
	I've seen that a couple of times.
	One of them happened in Tampa.
	The hospital I was born in.
	But this is a situation where she's having pregnancy complications and she needs some help.
	Instead, they abort the baby.
	She awoke to heavy bleeding during her 20th week of pregnancy.
	By that afternoon, wrote the New York Times, she was still leaking amniotic fluid and hemorrhaging, and now in a panic.
	She's struggling to understand why the doctor was telling her that she needed to leave the state to be treated.
	She said, if I need saving, you're not going to help me?
	He told me that he wasn't willing to risk his 20-year career.
	Yeah, how many times do we see that about people who've been vaccine injured?
	How many times do we see that about doctors who are not willing to risk their practice or their career so they're going to vaccinate your child and they don't really care what happens to them?
	Anyway, she was suffering from a serious placental abruption.
	her water had broken. No one seemed to know how to provide the appropriate standard of care. Instead, they put her on a small plane to Utah. Then, only when she woke up the next morning did she understand, because the nurse told her, that she was airlifted so she could have an abortion. She awoke to learn that she had undergone, it seems without her knowledge, the D&E dismemberment abortion, where the doctor had pulled her child that she named
	Maddox out of her body in pieces.
	Maddox was intentionally and directly killed when a preterm induced delivery or an emergency C-section was the standard of care.
	Even if the doctors didn't think that she would survive, Maddox deserved better treatment and respect and so did she.
	But this case is being used and presented by the New York Times in order to criticize the life, the pro-life act that was put in Idaho.
	The doctors didn't care about the life of the mother, didn't care about the life of the baby.
	And they point out babies that are born at this age, same age as Maddox, have survived.
	According to the Mayo Clinic, steps can be taken to delay labor.
	But if this all occurs prior to 24 weeks, as in her case, the health care provider will explain the risks of having a very preterm baby and the risks and the benefits of trying to delay labor.
	But, of course, they didn't talk to her about that.
	They just aborted the child.
	Well, another story. Amy Miles always knew that she was adopted.
	She knew that she had been born prematurely.
	She assumed that her biological mother, who was a college student when she became pregnant, cared so much about her that she had placed her up for adoption so she could have a loving and stable home.
	The truth, however, was far more disturbing.
	She was 36 years old before she learned it.
	A doctor told her parents...
	To watch for signs of cerebral palsy when she was adopted.
	A condition that was caused by abnormality or interruption in brain development.
	She said my mother was a nurse so she kept talking, taking me to the doctor to get me checked out.
	My motor skills were very slow.
	I didn't learn to walk until I was three years old.
	She was diagnosed with cerebral palsy and one doctor told her mother that she would likely have to be institutionalized Another doctor assured her parents that she'd be fine and she was Though she did have a difficult childhood because of her disability in addition to impaired muscle coordination She also had to wear hearing aids and she felt different from her classmates But she said we were a family of faith and we got through the worst of times years later as She gazed at her first child
	Nestled in her arms. She started to think about her biological mother She said when I tried to ask questions about the circumstances of my birth, my parents always became emotional I was just told this young girl wasn't ready to be a mother.
	So I kind of made up my own story about her as Her family grew She would silently thank her birth mother for choosing life She hadn't thought much about locating her until a co-worker shared that she had placed the child up for adoption and maintained a good relationship with her.
	She said, I started thinking that I too wanted to have a relationship with my natural mother.
	But when I told my parents, they were startled.
	They became evasive. And they said they'd contact the adoption agency.
	The next morning, her adoptive mother showed up at her home holding two Starbucks coffees.
	She knew something was odd.
	She said she'd never done anything like that before, but she had something to tell me, she said.
	She said, I was a survivor of a botched abortion.
	I had felt things didn't add up, but I was stunned and shaken at the news.
	I had no concept of what an abortion survivor meant.
	I didn't know how to deal with it.
	For some time, she said she struggled with grief and with a survivor's guilt.
	Survivor's guilt because she was thinking about other babies that had died from abortion.
	She said, I grieved not only for their lost lives, but also for the mothers who felt that they had no option other than to kill their babies.
	I couldn't imagine aborting my precious baby.
	Yet, she felt that God still had a purpose for her life.
	That he would bring beauty from ashes.
	She had always felt that her heart's mission was to work with disabled children.
	And now, as an occupational therapist, she was fulfilling that dream.
	Yet she understood that at the right time, God would reveal the next steps of his plan.
	My husband had always been passionate about pro-life principles.
	I encouraged him to get involved in the movement, but I wasn't ready at the time.
	I couldn't even say the word abortion survivor without choking up.
	I didn't even think I could be friends with a woman who had had an abortion.
	Miles' husband directed her to Abortion Survivors Network, founded by another survivor, and urged her to connect with the organization so she could meet other abortion survivors and find peace.
	And once she got plugged into the Abortion Survivors Network, it was as if a light had penetrated the darkness of her soul.
	She said, I not only got healing, but I found my voice.
	And I was encouraged to share my story, one that women needed to hear.
	I was now in a better place than I had been over time.
	I forgave my birth mother for what she had done.
	Well, and that's key.
	You know, that forgiveness.
	That forgiveness because Christ has forgiven you.
	You know, when we look at all the different things that we can be rightfully concerned about, that's one of the things that bothers me so much when I see these Christian churches jumping onto this reparations bandwagon.
	First of all, you are creating a division after Christ died to erase those divisions.
	Secondly, you are holding a grudge about this when Christ says to forgive others as he has forgiven you.
	And so we need to leave the things that were done to us that are wrong at the cross just as we leave our sins at the cross.
	That is the way of reconciliation and peace that Christ gave us.
	And so, for a Christian, we need to understand that from that standpoint.
	So, perhaps that's what they tell people at the Abortion Survivors Network.
	At the cross there is forgiveness for the abortion survivors as well as for those who did abort their children.
	And that's the key thing for everyone to understand if you had a situation like that.
	And many times it is done, you know, I mentioned the story of the woman who did not know that they were going to abort her child and just did it.
	But in many, many cases people are deceived by Planned Parenthood.
	They have practiced this method.
	They know what to tell people to get them to abort their children.
	They know precisely how to do this on a psychological basis.
	They've practiced it. They've wargamed it in the same way that they wargamed how to get people to take the vaccine.
	But what can you do for, I said it's going to be something positive here, what can you do for your family if you do have children?
	I think this is one of the best articles I've seen for a while.
	Cutting screen time to three hours per week improved kids who had behavioral problems, kids who had mental health, and improved them in days.
	You know, earlier I was talking about this GamerGate.
	And now you had wolves like Bill Barr and like the FBI and the Department of Justice under both Trump and Biden scouring the internet like a lion looking to whom they can devour.
	Trying to lure kids into esports and other things like that so they can psychologically profile them and perhaps act against them preemptively.
	And yet, when you look at, that's one danger of the internet, but then there's other dangers with it as well.
	Drastically reducing children's leisure screen time to just three hours per week can lead to significant improvements in their mental health and behavior in as little as two weeks, said a new study.
	Did we not know this?
	Steve Jobs said he wasn't going to let his kids play with computers at all.
	He knew it. But this is a study that has come from the University of Southern Denmark, a powerful and actionable strategy for parents who are concerned about their children's well-being.
	The study published by JAMA, by the Journal of the American Medical Association, involved 89 families with 181 children and adolescents between 4 and 17 years old.
	Half of these families were asked to limit their leisure screen time to a maximum of three hours per week per person.
	A dramatic reduction from the average of seven to eight hours per day.
	So going from seven to eight hours per day to three hours per week.
	And so they said the results were remarkable.
	After just two weeks of this reduced screen time regimen, children in the intervention group showed significant improvements in their overall behavior and emotional well-being.
	Using a standardized assessment tool they call the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire, researchers found these children experienced a decrease in behavioral difficulties equivalent to moving from the borderline category to the normal category.
	See, it's one of the reasons why we homeschooled, is because you don't want to just put your kid out there, whether it's sitting in front of a TV screen or putting them in a government institution, and you're really not sure what they're being exposed to.
	You have to protect that.
	As I said many times in North Carolina, the Homeschooling Association put out a publication that was called the Greenhouse Report.
	It's your responsibility as a parent to protect children during their vulnerable periods when they are growing up.
	Think of them as a tender young plant that you're putting in a greenhouse to protect.
	Eventually, they're going to have to go out in the real world, but do it after they've grown up, after they're tougher and stronger and bigger, that type of thing.
	It's very important. And so the same thing is true in terms of unsupervised TV, unsupervised entertainment time before the screen is going from the average of seven to eight hours per day down to three hours per week.
	It made a huge difference in these kids.
	Think about that.
	Really think about that.
	We're going to take a quick break and we'll be right back.
	And on Rockfin, Doug Alug, thank you very much for the tip.
	I appreciate that.
	I appreciate that.
	Thank you.
	so
	liberty it's your move And now, The David Knight Show.
	I was just talking about the fact that many people have said, perhaps the lesson for people who want to talk about it on that Sunday following the assassination, is to talk about how we're all so close to death and we don't really understand it.
	As one pastor said, thank God.
	But which God? Say his name.
	Well, the GOP closed out day one of its national convention with a prayer to a pagan god, Wahaguru.
	This is from LifeSite News. Last night's opening session of the GOP National Convention, which earlier in the day had officially nominated Trump as a party's presidential candidate, closed out with a prayer to a God other than Jesus Christ, the genderless God of the Sikh religion that believes in rebirth and karma.
	High-profile Republican attorney Harmeet Dillon took to the podium, covered her head, and chanted the Ardas prayer to Wahaguru, our one true God, seeking blessings upon and protection for the candidacy of Trump.
	Where's Elijah when you need him?
	Christian commentators were troubled by what they interpreted to be an affront to Catholics and to evangelical Christians who comprise the vast majority of the Republican Party.
	It's not the first time that this Republican National Convention, being run by Trump's daughter-in-law, has thumbed their nose at Christians.
	The prayer was also seen by some as a way of distancing the GOP from national conservatism.
	Ben Zysloff, editor of Republic Sentinel, said, Imagine getting on a massive cult-to-personality emotional high, watching Trump survive assassination, convinced yourself that he has some kind of mandate from heaven, and then seeing the RNC open up with a prayer to a demon.
	Boy, that exactly sums it up.
	He's in all this stuff. Oh, yeah.
	He's God's anointed one.
	He's the chosen one. All the rest is stuff from people like Wayne Allen Root.
	And then he opens up with a prayer to a demon.
	He said, America must turn to the triune God, not to Allah, not to Vishnu, not to Wahaguru.
	He said, Jesus Christ alone is Lord, King, and Judge of the earth.
	We must repent and trust in Him, or else expect His righteous judgments.
	Matt Gaspers, managing editor of Catholic Family News, said, I'm glad that they had, and I think this is an archbishop is what the abbreviation is here for, Lestecki was invited to pray, who said, through Jesus Christ, our Lord, at GOP convention.
	But he said, Harmeet Dillon was also allowed to invoke the name of a false god, giving the impression that all religions are equal.
	Christ is King, not Waha Guru, he wrote.
	And then this from Calvin Robinson who said, Harmeet Dillon has done great work.
	She should be invited on stage to speak about that and to support President Trump.
	But to invite her to pray to a pagan god, leading those prayers with, Dear Wahaguru, our one true God, is entirely inappropriate, he said.
	What is worse, what is worse, is all of the rhinos bowing their heads in prayer.
	This is what the Maga cult has turned into.
	She does that prayer and they bow to that prayer.
	It's no different than what Michael Flynn does at the reawakening stuff.
	And I've played it for him many times.
	Where he leads this occultic prayer to an ascended master from Elizabeth Clare Prophet back in the 1980s.
	Verbatim plagiarism.
	And, you know, prayer to an ascended master.
	And they're holding these reawakening things.
	Some guy named Clay.
	I can't remember if Clay's his last name or first name.
	But anyway, he's got all of the big MAGA influencers there speaking from time to time.
	And they usually hold them in big mega churches.
	And they get all these MAGA people there repeating the prayer after Michael Flynn.
	And if you know anything about Flynn, you know that he was pushing LGBT stuff from the very beginning.
	He was pushing transgenderism from the very beginning.
	He was pushing it using Chris Beck, who has now moved away from that, said he was deceived as an adult, as a Navy SEAL. They used him as a poster child.
	Michael Flynn used him as a poster child, celebrating Pride Month the second time it was done in 2014.
	Trump was at the very beginning of this.
	Trump was talking about the same time, or actually a little bit earlier than that.
	He was talking about how he wanted the beauty contest that he bought.
	A lot of questions about what he was doing with that.
	But he wanted the beauty contest that he bought to start featuring men, transgender men, competing against women.
	So, one more comment here.
	Wow. Well, 2024 is a year that associating Republicans with evangelicalism officially ends, said Anthony Bradley, a research fellow at the Acton Institute.
	He said, Harmeet Dillon thinks the Chartakala spirit to close out the RNC convention.
	She prayed, Dear Wahaguru, Our One True God.
	And he says, Vance's wife is a practicing Hindu.
	This is the new RNC. Well, it is not just that, as we mentioned before.
	It's also Amber Rose, who he put up there, because again, the only thing that matters is if somebody kisses his ring.
	And so this porn star, this atheist who praises Satanism, was also allowed to address the convention.
	Trump advances foreign policy as more war disguised as anti-war.
	Despite flirting with America First Realism and restraint, the Republican ticket is all in on forever wars, writes Reason Magazine.
	And so the question is, as I said when I was going through his different policy issues, I said, well, one thing he's done is he has, you know, pushed hard to oppose funding to Ukraine.
	But, of course, it always is a question is whether or not he's going to do a Mike Johnson and completely reverse at some point.
	Remember? Mike Johnson was always against funding for the Ukraine war.
	And then after he became Speaker of the House, he still opposed it for about six months, kind of.
	He moved to an intermediate position.
	He said, well, okay, I'm not opposed to Ukraine as long as we can use it as leverage to get funding to do something to close the border.
	But after six months of that, he just dropped the border part of it and said, let's give them all the money that Biden wants to give them.
	I expect that J.D. will do the same thing.
	And either way, they both want an enlarged war in the Middle East.
	Trump picking Vance widens the rift with foreign policy old guard, said Bloomberg.
	Politico said Trump's VP pick spells disaster for Europe and for Ukraine.
	But Reason disagrees.
	Reason says, for all of Trump's rhetoric about endless wars and Vance's attacks on neoconservatives, the two politicians are all in on some of the establishment's Most destructive military adventures.
	And in some ways, Trump and Vance are even more hawkish than the baseline.
	I showed you the picture earlier of Lindsey and J.D. together, right?
	Well, here's what J.D. Vance said at the Republican National Convention.
	A lot of people recognize that we need to do something with Iran, but not these weak little bombing runs.
	If you're going to punch the Iranians, you punch them hard, and that's what he did when he took out Soleimani.
	By the way, that action, people said that it would lead to a broader war.
	It actually brought... It's a piece that actually checked the Iranians and slowed them down a little bit.
	But let me just say something about this Iran issue, because maybe the most important diplomatic breakthrough in the Trump administration was the Abraham Accords.
	If you want to check Iran, the way to do it is to, one, withdraw their oil money, which, of course, Joe Biden's been bad about.
	But you've also got to enable the Israelis and the Sunni Arab states to work together and actually provide a counterbalance to Iran.
	Joe Biden has done nothing. Okay, so there you go.
	The way forward for peace, he said, is to do more assassination.
	To enlarge wars.
	And perhaps maybe do some coups along the way, right?
	A lot of people recognize we need to do something with Iran, not just these little weak bombing runs.
	You really got to punch them.
	Punch them hard. That's what Trump did when he took out Soleimani.
	Well, when he assassinated a person, right?
	In a speech to the Quincy Institute in May, Vance tried to sell a U.S.-Israeli-Arab alliance as a way for the U.S. to spend less time and less resources in the Middle East.
	That's exactly the strategy that got us here in the first place.
	And the proof is in the pudding, says Reason.
	Trump's show of force against Iran did not decisively end U.S.-Iranian conflict.
	Nor did the Abraham Accords that he talked about, did that get Israel and the Arab states to pick up the military slack.
	No. Instead, Trump ended up overseeing a massive military buildup In the region during his term and nearly went to war with Iran.
	And of course, in Europe, what Trump was doing in terms of talking about possibly getting out of NATO, he used that.
	He was never serious.
	I'm absolutely certain he was never serious about getting out of NATO. He could have easily done it.
	Instead, what he did was he hectored them about getting their spending up.
	Because this is all about selling weapons.
	They don't care who dies.
	They don't care where we have wars so much as long as they get to sell all of the weapons.
	And so he got NATO to build up for the Ukrainian war.
	And so he sells a lot of weapons to Israel and he sells a lot of weapons to Ukraine and so forth for these people.
	He's a weapons salesman, as most of these presidents are.
	Vance even wants to add another counterinsurgency to America's forever war roster.
	In July 2023, he told NBC News that he would, quote, empower the President of the United States, whether that's a Democrat or Republican, to use the power of the U.S. military to go after these drug cartels, unquote, in Latin America.
	So they want to take the drug war that has failed for 50 plus years and make it a literal shooting war.
	And they've already, through 50 years of prohibition, they've already created standing armies in these Latin American countries, many of them already failed narco states.
	Last year, several Republican candidates, including Trump, called for the US to invade Mexico directly.
	Trump and Vance also share the establishment view that the US needs to get ready for a conflict with China.
	At the convention, Vance told Fox News that China is the biggest threat to America, and he has voiced support for building up the Taiwanese military with American weapons in the past.
	To his credit, Vance has been a little bit more thoughtful about the risks of escalation than some other China hawks.
	He says, as a father of three young children, I really don't want to go to war with a country that makes all of our antibiotics.
	Is that it? That's the best you can come up with?
	Why we shouldn't have wars all the time?
	So, for the neocons, he said, maybe you pump the brakes for at least 10 years.
	Oh, just delay it a little bit, and then we can have our war with China.
	These people are crazy.
	They're crazy. They'll do anything for money and power.
	And for sex, of course.
	Pedophiles. That other aspect of it.
	In a February speech to the Senate, Vance complained.
	He said, the experts have a new thing that the American taxpayers must fund and must fund indefinitely, and it's called a conflict in Ukraine.
	He told Fox News at the convention that Trump, though, will go there, will negotiate with the Russians and Ukrainians, and will bring this thing to a rapid close.
	But in fact, says Reason Magazine, Trump was the first U.S. president to send weapons to Ukraine.
	And he bragged about it at the time, just like he bragged about his vaccines.
	And of course, then he did, as I said, a NATO buildup prior to that.
	And then he leaves it for Biden to carry on.
	At the presidential debate in June, Trump blamed Biden's military withdrawal from Afghanistan for causing the Ukrainian conflict.
	He said when Putin saw that, he said, you know what?
	I think we're going to go in.
	Reason said that's really not an argument against war.
	It's just a promise to be better at it than the last guy.
	And that's what Democrats and Republicans are doing.
	Americans are fed up, says Reason, with the endless wars.
	But the politicians want to make their opponents look weak.
	Wanting to win harder is not a strategy.
	America's problems are not simply a lack of gumption.
	Vance may be more willing to acknowledge the limits of U.S. power than his competition, but when it comes to actually applying those insights, he falls short.
	Well, again, as Michael Tracy said, He said, J.D. Vance is ultimate proof of politics that you can remake yourself into anything.
	Just do whatever feels good and everybody will jump down the memory hole right along with you.
	And he put up a statement from an October 13th Washington Examiner interview where J.D. Vance said he supported defensive weapons for Ukraine.
	He said, quote, absolutely send defensive weapons.
	I've never been opposed to that.
	Well, they were all presented as defensive weapons.
	So as Michael Tracy said, it's all just a shell game, isn't it?
	And when we look at Politico, the Trump-Vance ticket is a repudiation of free market conservatism, they say.
	Well, see, now Politico is now saying what David Stockman said, what David Stockman wrote a book about.
	I interviewed him about his book called Trump's War on Capitalism, and now Politico is saying the same thing.
	You see, J.D. Vance, as I pointed out, partnered with Liz Warren.
	To penalize what they consider to be excessive compensation.
	Well, where does that end?
	Right now, it's at the very top.
	Right now, it's at the millionaire class and that type of thing.
	But J.D. Vance himself said that culture war is class war.
	He's 100% wrong about that.
	100% wrong. Culture war above that is a spiritual war that these people misapply.
	They want to say Tucker Carlson, Todd Starnes.
	They want to say the spiritual war is Republican versus Democrat.
	Demon-crats, okay?
	That's what they want to say.
	That's not what it's about.
	It's the blind leading the blind.
	That's where we are. No, culture war is not class war, but if you see things as class war as J.D. Vance sees them, then you're going to see Marxist types of solutions to class war, like the bill that he co-authored with Elizabeth Warren.
	Economic populism has transmuted the Republican Party, says Politico.
	Trump's choice of J.D. Vance and his running mate suggests that he's leaning harder into the economic policy instincts that helped him land his first term in 2016.
	Trump no longer feels a need to placate the type of free market conservatives who have dominated the party for decades.
	And few Republicans have been more vocally critical of the party's modern economic conventions than Vance, who has embraced not just tariffs, but But also policies like a higher minimum wage, increased barriers to corporate mergers, and so forth.
	But here's the thing.
	Politico is missing the point.
	The real point about J.D. Vance is his being part of the technocracy.
	The Silicon Valley technocracy.
	These people push universal basic income.
	Universal basic income is welfare on steroids.
	But, you know, like I said, we went from, you know, he has a near miss.
	Oh, thank God. Which God? Well, then I think the Hindu God or the Sikh God in this particular case.
	And then, as I said before, he's got an atheist porn star who has praised Satanism, gives Amber Rose a primetime speaking slot there.
	Now, this is from LifeSite News.
	You won't see Breitbart complaining about this.
	She is a bisexual model.
	She does OnlyFans porn, a rapper, a stripper.
	Last year, when the New York Post did an explanation, they said that she explained what she does to her nine-year-old son this way.
	She said, when it comes to women, you have to let women do what they need to do to support their families.
	And so she tells her nine-year-old son, she said, you want to go to a nice school?
	You want to go to Six Flags?
	You want to go to Universal? You want to travel?
	Well, Mommy has to make money.
	Well, Mommy doesn't need to do that to make money.
	In 2015, Amber Rose led the LA Slut Walk, an event that was part of a long-running global movement meant to push back against so-called slut-shaming and rape culture in favor of embracing sexuality.
	Trump, I said for the longest time, Trump was kind of unique, besides the pride parades and stuff like that of the LGBT. I said they're proud of their sin.
	Think about that, right?
	Pride itself is a sin.
	But to have pride in your sin, that's really unusual.
	I said I don't know of anybody that does that, except for Trump, who boasted about, you know, throwing his first wife under the bus.
	They even did a movie about it, First Wives Club and stuff like that.
	And then he brings in Amber Rose, who does the same thing.
	The slut walk is basically being proud of their sin.
	And he's proud of her.
	Why? Because she kissed his ring.
	One profile of the event from the time described as drawing thousands of women who bore everything from bare breasts to signs with provocatively powerful PSAs written across them.
	Things like, control yourself, not women.
	Hoes can say no.
	Amber's walk today, they said at the time, was not only in honor of all women, but also trans women and those in the gay community who have been subjected to homophobic slurs and discrimination.
	Many of which Amber claims have affected her and her friends throughout the years.
	You see, she's so much like Trump.
	You know, at the same time she was doing this, you've got Flynn pushing transgenderism in the military.
	And you've got Trump pushing trans men in the women's beauty contests.
	And of course, Melania has been focused on that.
	As a matter of fact, she appeared to be a highly paid hooker for Epstein, introduced to Trump by Epstein.
	Just take a look at the pictures. But if, you know, what people said that she was working for him, when introduced to Trump, In 2016, Amber Rose called Trump an effing idiot.
	She said, I really hope that he will not become president.
	Instead of Hillary Clinton, I love her, always have.
	Four years later, she slammed her ex-boyfriend Kanye West for his pro-life awakening, complaining about women being shamed for, quote, aborting cells that might turn into kids.
	She said, please stop telling women what to do with our bodies.
	And then she said in an interview more recently, she said, I don't believe that God exists at all.
	And she considers Satanism to be, quote, a very rational, logical religion that helps a lot of women get abortions.
	She first indicated that her candidate preference, but not necessarily her underlying political values, had changed in May of 2024 when she endorsed Trump on Instagram via a selfie of herself with Trump and his wife, Melania. Well, that's what the RNC is now, as they follow Trump.
	And I gotta say, it absolutely disgusts me to see what they're doing.
	On Rumble, Audi MRR, Modern Retro Radio.
	Thank you for the tip. I appreciate that.
	He says, and Audi's on Rumble now.
	Good to see you there. He says, my theory is that the establishment, which continually, quote-unquote, persecuted Trump so much, Including Saturday's, quote, attempt that they want his base to experience the greatest upset when Biden again wins.
	Yeah, that's, I've looked at it and I said, you know, they're building Trump up and the inevitability of his win so they can then pull the rug out from people and you've got people like Bannon and others pushing for the Civil War stuff.
	The other thing is that maybe, you know, they put him in.
	Because he's been such a useful puppet for them.
	One or the other. But they know exactly what they're doing.
	And for the longest time, all this lawfare, they knew that this stuff was helping Trump.
	There's no question about it.
	And you had a lot of people saying that publicly.
	Just as a lot of people were saying, we know what's going to happen with the vote-by-mail election in 2020.
	Bill Barr said it. Bernie Sanders said it.
	I said it. A lot of people were saying it.
	And then they went ahead and did it and acted like they were surprised.
	What happened? I don't know.
	It's your guy. Your guy who said that they stole the election from him.
	He's the one who put that in there.
	They can play these people like putty in their hands.
	As a matter of fact, Pedro Gonzalez tweeted out about Amber Rose.
	He said, the RNC is quietly crushing those who don't want the GOP to drift left.
	While elevating people like Amber Rose, a speaker who, as recently as March, praised Satanism as a very rational, logical religion that helps a lot of women get abortion.
	Robert George said, Republicans, if you don't know who Amber Rose is, and I didn't, he said, you can go to her X feed, warning, her X, her Twitter feed, actually is a triple X feed.
	And you can see the filth that she spews for money, of course.
	What she represents is antithetical to the values and the virtues that the party claims to stand for.
	And yet you have people like Tucker Carlson and Todd Starr saying, this is spiritual warfare.
	What happened to Trump on Saturday?
	No. You want to see the spiritual warfare?
	It's within the RNC on Monday night.
	With the Sikh prayers, with the porn stars who want you to support Trump.
	And then there's Peter Thiel and his connections with J.D. Vance.
	And these technocrat billionaires who just love Vance.
	And Peter Thiel's connection with a company called Ambrosia.
	That harvests the blood of young people for anti-aging.
	There's one person put this up.
	This is Reptile Hybrid, put up pictures of the company that Peter Thiel gives money to.
	He says, oh, so they're going to drain the swamp, or maybe they're draining the blood, right?
	And remember, people like it, Alex Shum's freaking out about it.
	There's a lot of blood of kids, and I told you they're doing all this stuff.
	But now it's okay. When it's being done by Peter Thiel.
	When it's being done by people like J.D. Vance.
	And when Trump and Vance do it, it's okay.
	You know, he can tell you for years, the aluminum and the mercury are causing autism, and then he'll tell you, that's okay, you can have that.
	It's just sugar water. It's Trump.
	He's got this all. It's all under control.
	Not a problem. Finally, before we take a break and we get Gard on, Gard Goldsmith is going to join us.
	I'm anxious to get his take on the events this week.
	J.D. Vance's portfolio.
	Thanks for sending this to me, Harry Hunt.
	He said, and this is from Nasdaq.com.
	His portfolio includes investments in a gene therapy company and in a space transportation company called Atmos Nuclear and Space.
	J.D. Vance also has a quarter of a million dollars in stock in the online video platform Rumble.
	And he has Bitcoin.
	It's just under a million dollars.
	A position in a tech ETF, dollar sign QQQ, now estimated to be worth up to $1.8 million.
	A million dollars in Bitcoin, $2 million in a tech ETF. This is a guy who networks with Peter Thiel, Elon Musk, Trump.
	How did he get through there?
	Well, he got through there by schmoozing with Don Jr., Tucker Carlson, and people like that.
	But before we go to guard, I just want to say, you know, when you look at what is happening in the stock market, I didn't get to it, but they had their inflation numbers.
	They showed that inflation went down by 0.1%.
	And that's enough for them to say, well, I guess we can now lower interest rates.
	It's ridiculous. They're not concerned at all about inflation.
	I mean, these interest rates, the inflation rates they put up, they're completely rigged.
	And 0.1% is so far into the noise, it's ridiculous of what they measure.
	But it looks like they're going to do it.
	So we have the stock market making some big moves, gold hitting an all-time high, because we know that inflation is going to be coming back.
	We know that after the election, regardless of which one of these guys is selected by the elites, that inflation is going to come roaring back.
	And we also know they're both going to move into digital surveillance.
	They're both going to push us towards a global ID. And so I would just suggest, I mean, gold is not finished with its moves.
	I would suggest that you go to davidknight.gold.
	I'll take you to Tony Arterman.
	At least set up something where you can start to gradually purchase gold on a monthly basis.
	He's got Wolfpack, which allows you to do that to get a bulk buying discount.
	And he can also do gold or silver, large or small.
	He can handle gold and silver IRAs, a lot of things there at Wise Wolf.
	And davidknight.gold will take you to Wise Wolf.
	We're going to take a quick break here, and then we're going to come back with Guard Goldsmith and talk about these events that have been happening.
	Avant-garde goldsmith of Liberty Conspiracy will be right back.
	♪♪♪
	the
	All right, welcome back. And joining us now is Guard Goldsmith of Liberty Conspiracy.
	It airs weeknights at 6 p.m.
	Eastern Time. Welcome, Guard.
	It's great to see you on the screen.
	Wonderful background. And all it does is make me think about that great one-off photograph that I got of us in Kingston at Gerald Salente's event.
	And it's great to see you. Thanks for having me on.
	I appreciate it. Yeah, that was good.
	That was the first time we ever met.
	In 2021. Yeah.
	Summer 2021. Yeah, that was a really cold, was it Memorial Day or something weekend?
	Yeah, it was very cold.
	Yeah, surprisingly cold.
	But yeah, we got a chance to meet and talk for quite some time.
	It's been a crazy week.
	What have you been talking about on Liberty Conspiracy?
	Well, one of the major things, in fact, to sort of backtrack to one of the recent things you were just discussing before the break, was that J.D. Vance, you know, he's got two sides on every issue, it seems.
	And I was looking at his investment portfolio, and here's a guy who...
	claims that he is very skeptical of the climate change canard right now.
	And yet if you look at his investment portfolio, he is heavily invested in a company that is supposed to be going out there for mobile electric car charging.
	Now I, you know, far be it from me to at all have a problem with a guy who's in the U.S.
	Senate who can steer billions of dollars towards any of that stuff and is, you know, under a Democrat president who already has a Department of Energy head who used to be the governor of Michigan who got $6 million to go into an electric bus company that then went bankrupt but they only went bankrupt After they brought her on their board, and then they gave Jennifer Granholm stock options.
	She left the governorship.
	She joined their board.
	She got stock options.
	Then she sold the stocks for almost $3 million about a month and a half before that EV bus company went bankrupt.
	So that shows you that in the Democrat circles, obviously we can't trust them.
	But why should we have to have questions about a guy like J.D. Vance?
	It's sort of like... It's sort of like Rand Paul's wife investing in a company that makes remdesivir.
	It doesn't make any sense.
	So there are major questions with that.
	People need to do it kind of more quietly.
	Just give me some gold bars.
	Yeah. It's just, you know, they've got the capacity to make the gold bars with their legislation and their investments.
	And it's so obvious.
	All you have to do is look at these people.
	They've got the power. And it's not constitutional in any way.
	And then, as you were mentioning, his economic stance doesn't make any sense.
	Here's a guy, and originally I didn't have this right, and you went to the same article I did yesterday, because night before last, I had done some looking up of J.D. Vance.
	In fact, Emmy Moore on Twitter slash X had posted some of his old X posts that he was saying, you know, everyone in the hospital should be jabbed, fire the nurses who aren't jabbed, the hospitals are all overloaded, and so on.
	From 2021, in October, he had posted that, and I thought, oh man, this guy is just a real...
	Well, it turned out they were sarcastic.
	They were sarcastic posts.
	Yeah, he was on record a lot in terms of opposing mask mandates.
	And even RFK Jr.'s son, RFK III, when he posted that phone call that he overheard, he even put it out there.
	You know, J.D. Vance vax all the nurses or whatever, masks or whatever, fire.
	Well, he was always against the mandate.
	And that was my thing about it.
	That's the standard Republican thing.
	You don't want to attack the kill shot.
	But you want to attack the mandate.
	Because if you attack the kill shot, you're actually attacking Trump.
	So attack the mandate, because that's Biden's contribution there.
	Exactly. And the same sentiment goes towards freedom opposing lockdowns and things.
	And he spoke out. I think you mentioned his op-ed about Ohio State.
	And he had correctly come down to say, don't have these mandates on Ohio State students.
	Don't force them to do this or do that just so they can get in there.
	And I think that that was a good position.
	I think Politico had a piece on that a while back.
	And that was good. But then he comes in and says that he got it.
	Yeah. And then if you look at that sentiment, if we think about a supposed Republican, conservative Republican, right?
	He's now joining the guy who issued that March 13, 2020 executive order that facilitated the dominoes from all of the state mandates and so on.
	But the other thing about it is, associated with the mandates I've tried to mention on Liberty Conspiracy is the idea of essential and non-essential businesses.
	And you've got central planning right there, and that translates into his big push and support for this even bigger push for tariffs, because that is essentially central planning.
	And there's no way that people can get around the fact that the government's going to choose, it's going to get gamed, just like Ohio.
	He comes from Ohio.
	When Trump became president, one of the first things he did was he imposed tariffs on Chinese-made dishwashers and washing machines, because Ohio is the home of Maytag and Whirlpool.
	And Senator Portman, Rob Portman, who's now out, he lobbied heavily to get Trump to put those tariffs on, and they were a disaster.
	Right. They caused all sorts of problems, and this is generally the problem.
	I know some people think that there are certain strategic industries that have to be protected, but again, sentimentally, that is central planning.
	That is imposing one's own thinking as to, I think this is a strategic industry, and this needs to be protected, and they can't stop the gaming of the system.
	So J.D. Vance is engaging the same sort of central planning that came about in Stalinist Russia, in Stalinist Soviet Union.
	And they're going to make it worse.
	And then you mentioned the minimum wage things.
	And he's very deft.
	The other part that I wanted to bring up that you brought up about J.D. Vance was his erroneous assumption that the problem has to do with class.
	And that...
	So if we look at this, in the tariff thing, he also mixes in, he switches over into minimum wage.
	It's all about, you know, Americans having good wages and so on and so forth.
	And then he mixes in the immigration issue to say, well, you know, yes, just like minimum wage, we have the Democrats who want and the corporations that want to bring in foreigners to work the minimum wage jobs.
	Well, you can separate the intellectual understanding that imposing a wage on a business is imposing a wage on a consumer, which then makes the consumer not have more money left over.
	That's just an economic axiom.
	And that will not be applied to a new business, a new startup business, and a new employee who could start.
	You're never going to see that opportunity now because the government has made something that shouldn't be as expensive more expensive for wages.
	And it's a similar thing if we look at it just on basic economics, if we just pare it all down.
	If we look at immigration itself, without the corporate interest to bring in low wages, without the impact of all of the regulations put on businesses in the United States, which are the main drag...
	We should be able to hire whomever we want to hire.
	I should be able to hire someone from the next town over, the next state over, all those things.
	But when you've got a government that is actively involved in bringing people in, that's a different story.
	I often say on my show, when was the last time your move somewhere was subsidized?
	When was the last time you got to stay in a hotel off somebody else's tax money in Massachusetts So, J.D. Vance mixes in all these types of things.
	He tries to bolster his arguments on one side for, say, tariffs or something like that, by bolstering his argument against immigration, you know, and by bringing up the argument against immigration.
	To look at it as far as economics and ethics goes, they need to be separated.
	The problem is that government gets involved in all these areas.
	The best thing that I could see for American businesses is to remove the taxes and get rid of the regulations that inspire all these higher costs, that move businesses overseas, that make them need to hire the illegal immigrants and things like that.
	Because they need to cut their expenses in other areas.
	So I think J.D. Vance really mixes a lot of these things.
	And frankly, I don't trust him.
	When he talks about the minimum wage stuff, he's taken off one of the key issues against Gavin Newsom.
	And that is what he just did to restaurants of a particular type, right?
	And when you're talking about Maytag, what Gavin Newsom did was he specifically targeted chains of fast foods, and yet it might be somebody who owns one or two of these restaurants in a franchise, but they have to go up to $20 an hour.
	We've seen We saw a McDonald's that was there for decades.
	We saw the woman who was in her 90s but still very alert and focused on running her business and had run it for, what was it, 50, 60 years or something.
	Had to shut her business down because it was just too much.
	Between Trump's lockdown and Gavin Newsom's minimum wage dictates, she couldn't do it.
	So it shut the business down.
	And that was one of the key things that people have seen with Newsom.
	Minimum wage is something that pretends to be compassion.
	it is destructive. And you know what Newsom is trying to do in my opinion with that, why would he target those particular industries? I think he targeted those industries because they've got some robots that they want to push out for fast food. And so that's going to be, you know, they're going to replace these workers.
	They're not going to have better wages.
	They're going to be replaced.
	And when you talk about bringing in workers from another country, the technology is going to be able to bring in workers from India without bringing in the people from India.
	They can stay in India, and they can telecommute, and that's what they're going to wind up.
	I mean, we've already seen Amazon pretend that it's monitoring everything that everybody's buying in a store, when in reality, they had a thousand people in India watching what was going on.
	And so that's what they're going to be doing to the workers.
	It's not about compassion.
	This is about Marxism, and it's about a technocracy, really.
	And that's what concerns me, is his connections, his deep connections to Peter Thiel and other people.
	This $45 million a month from Musk, what do you think about that?
	Yeah. Yeah.
	You know, and it's funny. I mentioned on my show the other night, I met Peter Thiel at an Adam Smith dinner in New York.
	He gave me his email address.
	Wow. And I don't think I ever wrote to him.
	It was Foundation for Economic Education had a number of speakers, and he was one of them.
	And he was still, I think he had just sold PayPal.
	He had just gotten bought out at PayPal.
	And he was very nice.
	And Richard Epstein was there.
	And Richard Epstein from the University of Chicago, a great law professor, has written about how regulations should be considered takings and people should be compensated for them because they're taking your opportunities.
	And, you know, I should hop back to that idea of the essential and non-essential, David, because...
	Really, when you see minimum wage impositions, and I could probably tell this to some of the students that I teach, the essential, non-essential, central planning thing, if a person like J.D. Vance is opposed to the lockdowns and opposed sentimentally to the government deciding what is essential and what is not essential, what is Gavin Newsom doing?
	He's deciding that the consumer is not as essential as what he thinks the employee is essential, but really he's harming them all.
	He's deciding for other people how much their labor is worth, and if their labor doesn't reach that level for the consumer, then the consumer has no choice.
	So the consumer's choices, the consumer's preferences, to Gavin Newsom, those aren't And this is the sort of thing that it happens all the time, that politicians are essentially deciding for all of us what is essential and what is not essential in our lives.
	You're exactly right.
	He's picking the employee over the consumer and pricing them out.
	But, you know, he's also picking one industry over another.
	He's picking Silicon Valley and their robots.
	Yeah. Over the fast food people, and he's picking the corporate Wall Street version of Arby's or McDonald's or whatever over the small franchisee, because they're the ones who don't have the capital to do this.
	the big corporation can raise all the money that they want on Wall Street.
	And so they can go out, you know, they drive out of business these small franchisees and the big corporate Wall Street business can put that in.
	You're always kind of interested in that article, the document that was just released last year and that's just now been founded.
	I think Jeffrey Tucker was the first one to talk about it.
	About the 2007 document where they laid out all of the stuff that Trump did, even the terminology of essential and non-essential.
	And, of course, it's been practiced since two months before 9-11.
	But I thought it was interesting that the term essential businesses and stuff, that goes back to that 2007 document.
	Yes, yes. And I think it's important for people to note, and you're the only other person that I've seen around in talk radio circles who's talked about the model state health emergency legislation that was promulgated from around 2003 to 2007 in almost every state.
	And I was on the air in New Hampshire doing a radio program in 2005-2006 when they were pushing this.
	We had a Democrat governor. And I didn't know that it had been promulgated in all these states until later when I started to decipher it and research it.
	And they clearly have been putting these plans in.
	Some of the people, I think, who are behind this are very, very, they know exactly what's going on.
	And others are just opportunists.
	They're being taken advantage by the super opportunists, I think, you know.
	And, you know, it just is going to be perpetuated.
	And one of the things that I've just seen recently is, and this shows you how mixed up things can get, is Jim Jordan had a committee that released, and in fact Elon Musk is getting involved in this too, he's going to be suing, released some information about the Global Alliance for Responsible Media.
	I have it up, you probably saw the flash of the light on my screen here.
	It's called GARM, and it was a creation.
	They need to come up with an acronym that spells your name.
	Yes, yes, very close, exactly.
	It's very close. And GARM is actually an offshoot of the World Federation of Advertisers, the WFA, not the World Federation of Wrestling, you know?
	But they have been going for a while, the World Federation of Advertisers, and a number of years ago, in 2019, they gathered in cans because they're advertisers, the media, they put commercials out, so they have their gatherings in cans just like the film people do.
	And they created this thing called GARM. And GARM is essentially news guard for private corporations.
	And check this out.
	Bayer is involved.
	Procter& Gamble is involved.
	British Petroleum is involved.
	General Mills is involved.
	GlaxoSmithKline is involved.
	Google slash Yahoo is involved.
	Meta is involved.
	And what they do, and you and I have spoken about this before, what they do is, as corporations, or, you know, as Reason might say, private businesses, right?
	They now are saying we are going to organize and we are going to not advertise with certain platforms.
	So they're pulling what NewsGuard does.
	NewsGuard having gotten money because of Bob Portman and Chris Murphy starting in 2016.
	They pushed the Portman-Murphy Countering Foreign Propaganda Act.
	That went simultaneous to the whole Russian propaganda thing where they tried to portray the DNC leak as a hack.
	When we know it came from Seth Rich, you know, it's very, very, you know, William Binney has pretty much spelled that out.
	So they tried to keep pushing the Russia, Russia collusion canard.
	At the same time, they were pushing this Portman Murphy bill.
	The Portman Murphy bill allowed for two years for $150 million to be showered on private news organizations to counter the foreign propaganda, right?
	And NewsGuard got some of that money.
	As you know...
	I get hit by NewsGuard all the time.
	Just two weeks ago, MRCTV, I had to spend four hours.
	I was listening to your show while I was working on responding to NewsGuard and saying, well, if you hit this hyperlink, you would have seen my evidence.
	And I challenged them at the end.
	I said, here's a challenge.
	If you think what I'm arguing is incorrect about climate change, Let's have a debate.
	Let's open this up.
	You bring your evidence. I'll bring my evidence.
	I'll look at the hockey stick graph.
	I'll show you where it's wrong.
	You give me... Let's have a public thing.
	We can give the money to charity.
	Haven't heard back. In fact, the way NewsGuard operates...
	And I'll get back to Garmin in a second.
	The way NewsGuard operates, David, is they send these letters off to MRC, Media Research Center, Brent Bozell's people.
	And, you know, I'm not on staff.
	I'm on contract. But if I get a letter, I've got to respond.
	So I spent... Four or five hours, two weeks ago Friday, writing back, giving them my responses, giving it to the head of MRCTV, Eric Shiner.
	Eric wrote back to me and said, Guard, thank you so much.
	This is great. And I said, I don't know what you thought about that challenge at the end.
	He goes, I've got to tell you, buddy, I left it in.
	The challenge has been given.
	I was like, great, that's great.
	So then he said, I talked to him again on Monday or Tuesday, that following Monday or Tuesday.
	That was a Friday. So last week, Monday, I talked to him, and he said, you're never going to believe it, Guard.
	They sent the letters out, and they've already downgraded us.
	I said, are you serious?
	I said, in their messages, did they give you a deadline to say if we don't hear back from you?
	Just to be on some sort of agreeable level, to say this is the way we will operate?
	And he said, no, they didn't have anything in there.
	You would have thought, we got that back to them.
	It was Tuesday. He said, we got that back to them on Monday.
	The staff worked over the weekend.
	Everybody did their work. We got it to them on Monday.
	By Tuesday, they had downgraded us.
	Didn't even acknowledge getting our messages.
	So, to bring it back to GARM, so NewsGuard operates in this way.
	We find out later, and I did a bunch of this research.
	Matt Taibbi did a bunch of this research.
	Michael Schellenberger did.
	They found out that DARPA... The DOD and numerous other agencies got that Portman Murphy money, and they shoveled it off partially to things like the Virality Project at Stanford and NewsGuard.
	So literally, your tax money and my tax money was paying to make me work harder to answer their dumb questions, and they just do it for busy work.
	They do it to make us work.
	That's even worse, isn't it?
	Yeah, it's just amazing.
	It's worse than just shutting you off and giving you no explanation.
	Instead, they have you chase your tail for a while and write a lot of reports and then just ignore them and do it anyway.
	Yeah, it's like they put your head in the noose and they tell you to kick the stool out from under yourself.
	That's the way they're doing it.
	And you have to make the rope.
	It's just ridiculous.
	All this stuff goes back to DARPA, doesn't it?
	I mean, whatever you're looking at, what a black hole that place is.
	Just unbelievable. Yeah, absolutely.
	So we get to GARM. And what's interesting about that is when I first started to read about GARM, and I had to do a bunch of clicks and research and stuff, I hadn't heard anything about Elon Musk hearing about this.
	But I found out about GARM. Then I found this thing from Jim Jordan's committee last week.
	It was like Wednesday or Tuesday.
	And they actually had a committee looking into this.
	This GARM World Federation of Advertisers thing.
	Well, I'm glad. We've got the problem solved now, don't we?
	That's exactly it. And leave it to Jim Jordan to go the wrong direction on this.
	And, you know, he speaks a good game, he talks a good talk, you know, but, you know, it's like the basketball player who's on the sidelines waiting to get into the game and he's jawing at you, like, oh, I'm going to get you, and then you find out he can't even dribble, you know?
	It's like, forget it. So...
	Yeah, I mean, he's the Washington, what is it, the Washington Generals of politics, you know?
	Oh, it's like, that's all Jim Jordan ever does, it really is to dribble.
	He never takes a shot. Yeah, yeah, exactly.
	He's like, shoot the ball, shoot the ball.
	He never does it. He just dribbles like, hey, look at this.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	So I looked into it, and at first blush, you only find out about this GARM organization, and you only find out about the World Federation of Advertisers.
	And it sounds, oh wow, these companies, I didn't know which companies were involved.
	I saw Procter& Gamble, General Mills.
	Okay, those look like they're just putting their products out.
	And if I'm a business person, again, sort of differentiating between corporation and business person, but if I'm a business person...
	I should have a right not to advertise someplace if I don't like what they're doing, right?
	I don't want to advertise on MSNBC. The same principle can be applied.
	If I don't like what somebody's putting out, I shouldn't have to advertise.
	If I don't like pornography, I shouldn't have to put it in my newsstand, right?
	I shouldn't have to give someone money to promote my thing on their platform.
	So I understand the sentiment, but then I started to look into it deeper, and I saw all of these other...
	We've got organizations. BP, connected to the British government.
	We've got all these different...
	GlaxoSmithKline, a pharma giant, is associated with this.
	And they're getting government money.
	So anytime I see that the government is connected to any of these things, to me, that's the stopping point.
	I can find some gray areas, if they're companies or corporations, Because then you're saying, okay, they're asking for corporate status and there's that debate as to whether or not the corporation should be fully allowed to make their decisions with their money or they're not.
	But if they're tied to the government, that's the red flag right there for me.
	That stops it right there.
	And so that's what these people are doing.
	So Jim Jordan, to bring it back to Jim Jordan, and this is the sad part of it, Jim Jordan wants to bring antitrust against these people.
	Because he says they're colluding.
	And it's like, Jim, look, and again, we have to separate out corporate status.
	You know, the question of whether or not antitrust could be used against businesses that ask the government to be turned into corporations.
	But as far as the Sherman Antitrust Act, there's nothing in the Constitution.
	And James Madison spelled it out.
	The Interstate Commerce Clause was not written to give the federal government power to so-called regulate products that go over state borders.
	It just wasn't. It was there to be a remedial approach to state versus state.
	And inside the Constitution, in Article I, Section 8, in that clause, states are capitalized.
	It's state versus state disputes because they might be putting tariffs on each other.
	Yeah, they completely perverted.
	It was supposed to be there to free up trade when states are going to try to restrict it.
	Instead, they have used the Commerce Clause to restrict all kinds of activity when that is precisely the opposite of what its intent was.
	But the thing I find fascinating about it, you know, they've used the Commerce Clause to push prohibition and all kinds of things.
	And, of course, they never thought that that would enable prohibition when they did it with alcohol prohibition.
	But if you think that's the interpretation of it, that was ended by the Tenth Amendment.
	The Tenth Amendment overturned that, if you believe that was the way it goes.
	I think it's interesting. You know, you talk about Jim Jordan.
	And how if he ever does anything, he does the wrong thing.
	But, you know, when you've got the government working with these corporations and using them as a beard for what they're doing, it's kind of fascism that is there.
	Instead of defunding these organizations that are giving the money to these corporations and working with them, instead of defunding them, what he does is he comes after something like antitrust.
	Which makes it look good, but it doesn't do anything.
	Antitrust laws have never worked.
	They didn't work against...
	Absolutely. You know, when I was working at Star Trek, I used to take the bus back and forth.
	I didn't drive in. I took the bus from Pasadena down to the Paramount Studios.
	And I was reading probably the best book on antitrust in the history of antitrust.
	It was by Dominic Armentano.
	It was called Antitrust and Monopoly.
	And I remember there was a woman who used to ride the bus with me, a young woman, and she goes, why are you reading that?
	Because she just thought it looked so boring.
	And I was like, no, it's really interesting.
	You go back, this stuff is unconstitutional.
	It's always gamed by people.
	They come up with all these arguments of, if you're a company and you happen to buy other companies that you think are associated with you in other regions, that's called horizontal integration.
	And at certain points, they'll allow it if they like you, but at other points, they won't allow it if you, say, haven't contributed to a political campaign.
	It's all rent-seeking.
	It's It's all rent-seeking.
	They're trying to game at the expense of the consumer.
	And so she, I was like, you know, so I would read this section to her.
	She goes, oh, that's pretty interesting.
	I was like, yeah, yeah, good, good.
	I won over a convert, you know.
	It's a protection racket. It's like the mafia, you know.
	It's a nice business you got.
	It'd be a shame if anything happened.
	Yeah, yeah. I always thought it'd be pretty funny, David, to do a skit about an early young guy trying to join the mafia, and they send him out to try to shake down businesses locally in New York, and the head mafia guy calls him, he goes, Hey, little Tony, come over here.
	Hey, Tony, you know, I know you've been trying really hard.
	Yeah, yeah, boss, yeah, boss, I'm really trying.
	Yeah, listen, Tony, when you go into the places and you say, hey, nice place you got here, it'd be a shame if something happened to it.
	Yeah, yeah, that's what I've been doing, boss.
	Ah, listen. The point is a little different than I think you understand.
	So when you say, like Anthony Fauci, nice place you got here.
	It'd be a shame if somebody replaced your carpeting with something even nicer.
	That's not what we want.
	We want a punishment.
	You can't say, oh, it'd be a shame if somebody gave you free air conditioning.
	That's not the way we want it.
	Alright, boss! And it is interesting because I think the final point about that Jim Jordan thing is using something that is an appropriate target for opprobrium, right?
	And coming up with all sorts of...
	I mentioned it before. They use these vituperative approaches to things.
	They get very ramped up.
	They get very angry and stuff.
	And it Appropriately so.
	Then they mix into it something that's not appropriate.
	And it's just the same sort of thing that we see with J.D. Vance, talking about the problems of society and so on, saying it's a class problem, saying that it has to do with how much you're earning or whatever, when it doesn't necessarily have to do with that.
	And that's not the place for government to get involved in the first place.
	So with J.D., With Jim Jordan, you know, they make a valid argument about these corporations doing this sort of thing for ideological reasons, but they don't point out that people should be free to be able to ideologically separate from anybody they want.
	And that's the problem.
	When you get these corporations mixed in, everybody starts looking at them as, well, they're hegemonic, they're very big, they get government assistance and so on.
	What it should be, I think, is lawsuits against people for doing something that would be inappropriate.
	Like, now Elon Musk is going to be suing these people because he has found out that they made these plans.
	I don't know whether he's going to be able to win on that front, but...
	To me, and you know, the source of the problem really is the government allowing these corporations to exist.
	That's where they open up the gray area.
	If it's just a private business or it's just a person and they don't want to advertise with someone, they shouldn't have to advertise with someone.
	It's like you and I discussed a while back with Byron Allen with Black Entertainment Television.
	He was suing McDonald's because they weren't advertising enough with Black Entertainment Television.
	It's like, well, if they don't want to advertise, he says, oh, that's racist.
	So what? So what?
	It's not your money to demand.
	That's the point, you know?
	Yeah, that's right. Well, you know, if they don't care what we say in terms of putting stuff into our body, they don't care about anything.
	But, you know, it goes way back.
	It's not just about the mandate, as we always say.
	They want to make it about the mandate.
	Republicans do. And yet they want to mandate all kinds of things.
	And they also don't want to take a look at the back scenes.
	What about this clip that was released by RFK Jr.?
	I'll play it, and you've seen it, and so we can talk about it, so I'll play it for the audience.
	But before I do, real quickly, Karen Carpenter on RockFan.
	Say good morning, everyone listening while I'm driving.
	Hope everybody has a good day.
	Great show, David. Awesome show yesterday, Guard.
	So shout out for Guard on Liberty Conspiracy.
	Let's play for the audience here this RFK Jr.
	clip about Trump talking about the fact that he always knew about these childhood vaccines.
	I said, I want to do small doses.
	Small doses.
	When you feed a baby, Robbie, a vaccination that is like 38 different vaccines, and it looks like it's been for a horse, not a, you know, 10-pound or 20-pound baby.
	It looks like you should be giving a horse this.
	And you see the size of it, right?
	You know, it's just massive. And then you see the baby all of a sudden starting to change radically.
	I've seen it too many times.
	And then you hear that it doesn't have an impact, right?
	But you and I talked about that a long time ago.
	And anyway, I would love you to do so.
	And I think it would be so big for New York and so big for you.
	And we're going to win.
	We're going to win. Isn't that interesting?
	You know, I've had, I've known so many people, I used to work for one, who talk about, yeah, I get calls from Trump all the time.
	It's an interesting insight to hear how that operates, because he makes common cause with RFK Jr., and we know that, you know, Oh yeah, I know what you mean about these childhood vaccines.
	I've seen it happen so many times.
	He says it's something like 38 vaccines.
	No, it's more like 92 because so many of them they gave two times, three times, four times, five times over the first couple of years.
	And he brought in RFK Jr.
	in the transition period between the 2016 election and January of 2017 when he took office.
	He brought him into the Trump Tower.
	They had an interview, and of course everybody said, oh, look at this.
	There's rumors that he's going to put RFK Jr.
	in charge of vaccines.
	And RFK Jr. comes out and says, well, I really like safe vaccines, and so we just need to test these things and stuff like that.
	Well, immediately you get big pharmaceutical companies donating millions of dollars to Trump.
	And you get the CEO of Eli Lilly, one of the most politically active companies, put in as the head of HHS, Alex Azar, who was the one who kicked off all the pandemic stuff in January with his official finding that it was a pandemic before Trump released the money on March the 13th.
	But he puts this guy in to run it, and it's like he's doing the same thing again.
	That's how I read it, because...
	He's talking to him and says, you know, we're going to win, and I've really got some things I'd like for you to do, and that type of thing.
	It's almost like he's promising him he's going to give him a position in the administration, and look, I see the same problems that you do, that type of thing.
	This is what Trump does behind the scenes.
	That's part of what he does, I think, to get these people to sign up and go along with him.
	They can read the audience.
	They can read the crowd. They know what's happening.
	They know that it's going to hurt them if they oppose Trump.
	It's going to help them if they support him.
	And then they get the phone calls.
	And that's, I think, the key thing that he does to people, whether they're Republicans in office or whether they're people who are influencers and media figures, I think.
	What do you think? I think that that's one of the really important points to remember about the work that you do and a handful of others worldwide do.
	They have long memories.
	You have long memories.
	So you have the clip.
	They have to get their shots.
	It's really going around.
	Right? Right. So some people seeing that now will say, oh, Trump and RFK Jr., they're on the same ground.
	Look at Trump. He's very skeptical of these things.
	What they won't remember is how he brought in Alex Azar, how he brought in this guy from Eli Lilly after already doing this sort of thing before.
	It's the same MO that he did before.
	It's the same thing.
	And this is a guy who constitutionally shouldn't even be talking about this stuff.
	There shouldn't be a CDC.
	There shouldn't be an NIAID or anything.
	None of that stuff.
	And so it's amazing to me to see how...
	There's a great song by Midnight Oil, the Australian band, called Short Memory.
	And they go through all these things that continually happen with colonialism and so on.
	They were talking about warfare and things like that.
	But it's the same sort of thing, where it requires people to hold on to these clips to remember what Donald Trump said.
	And then at least if they want to be kind to Donald Trump to say, look...
	You know, Mr. Trump, you had this position before.
	You did this.
	You did that. Can you explain yourself now?
	Yeah. Because he's not even asked to do that.
	Nobody puts any pressure on people like that.
	Yeah. Oh, no, I look at the MAGA people, and it's like they've got a lower attention span and retention than Joe Biden does.
	They laugh at him, but they don't remember anything that happened yesterday that Trump did.
	They choose not to.
	They've purged it out of their mind.
	It's almost like DARPA's replaced their memory with something else.
	And I think George Orwell really, you know, you read 1984 and it reads like satire now.
	But because I think so many people who worked within those circles and saw the way that politics worked and put out some of those novels, they recognized that...
	People often will be concentrating on other things.
	They won't notice these sorts of things.
	But if you look at even the way I tried to warn people, we've talked about this before, and you've spoken about this before as well, this idea of hate speech, right?
	There was a time when conservatives were, that was anathema.
	Don't use that term.
	Don't use the term hate speech or hate crime, which was the first opening of that.
	That was the first crack in that cement floor of free speech.
	It was hate crime.
	What do you mean hate crime?
	It's a crime. Why are you adding something that's up to the government to perceive whether or not the motivation behind it was worse with the same result?
	So you get now Ron DeSantis signing those two pieces of legislation in Israel...
	One of which is, well, if you spray paint graffiti on a building, but it happens to be critical of the state of Israel, you're going to get a heavier penalty than if you draw something like, you know, a swear word or something like that, you know? It's still damage to the other person's property.
	And they add it, just like they add for the penalties, they add it just like they add a conspiracy charge to turn something into a felony or something, right?
	Yeah. And so they add it to everything.
	Oh, well, you know, this is part of your motivation or something.
	So we're going to add that in there like we add the conspiracy thing.
	I think we really need, I think we've got to do a t-shirt.
	It says, extremism and defense of free speech is no vice and moderation of content is no virtue.
	I mean... You know, I was going to bring down my copy of With No Apologies from Barry Goldwater.
	Bring it downstairs. It's my dad's old copy.
	It still has the original cover on it and everything.
	And it is interesting, too, because I think as people start to get into this mode, if you look at the way that they were approaching the shooting in Pennsylvania, right?
	Right. We're good to go.
	Maybe they're thinking they'll get some decentralization, maybe some Supreme Court justices that will be put on there, or protection of the Supreme Court in certain ways.
	And they have their agenda, and they think that these are very important.
	And they look at Joe Biden as being so bad, and Donald Trump is the guy they're turning to.
	So they're in the stands, they're having a great day, and then this happens.
	Hmm. And we have conservatives now, exactly like you said over the past couple days, engaging in this same sort of deconstructionism of political rhetoric that we all know is just political rhetoric.
	It's like, yeah, go out and target that guy.
	You know, even when they show the footage of Maxine Waters, when she said, when you see these people outside, you get a crowd, and you tell them you're not.
	Welcome here! I know it's a great impression of Maxine.
	I'll get my wig later.
	I need one. You need a James Brown wig.
	What's that? You need a James Brown wig.
	Yeah, exactly. I'll be James Brown, the godfather of bald soul.
	I was going to play a clip.
	I remember you had, it was a guy on Fox News, and he got into a thing with Maxine Waters a few years ago.
	Bill O'Reilly got into it because he said something about her having a James Brown wig.
	Well, she was flipping out her James Brown wig the other day, right?
	And then he said, we're going live!
	We're going live! That's right, yeah.
	Stop the Hammering! Stop the Hammering!
	Stop the Hammering!
	Now I remember his first name, and I don't remember his last name.
	Oh, man, yeah.
	They're just amazing.
	These people are amazing. And, you know, I understand they're all under pressure and so on and so forth, but, you know, hopefully...
	but but so yet to to think about that's that that idea that now republicans are falling into the same trap that they are closing the garbage compactor on themselves in the death star they're the ones controlling their winnowing down their for their frame of speech they're doing it themselves and it was years ago that we said don't buy into crime hate crime concepts don't buy into so-called hate speech and now what are they doing
	they're doing the same sort of things that university professors in high school teachers would do is what was the real meaning behind what that person said Stop doing that, because you are now constraining your ability and the future ability.
	If you're looking at it as a consequentialist, you're going to hurt yourself.
	If you're looking at it as a person of principle, Yeah.
	Yeah. Yeah, it's crazy to see it, and we're seeing it with people like Jonathan Turley even coming out saying, well, we've got to stop this. I understand people saying we've got to take the temperature down, because I've been saying that for a long time about comments that Bannon is making.
	I mean, you know, he's talking about revenge and vengeance, and we're going to, you know, and this type of stuff.
	And I've said I'm concerned about a civil war with that kind of rhetoric.
	I'm concerned just as Audi Modern Retro Radio was saying.
	He said, look, they're building this up.
	Everybody is expecting Trump, and now he's even in Bigger figure in their eyes.
	And if he doesn't win, you know, they're trying to set people up for the frustration to push them into a civil war.
	I understand all of that.
	But at the same time, you know, again, just like Jim Jordan, they're going after the wrong in the wrong way.
	The wrong things in the wrong way is what they're doing.
	Yeah, I think also, you know, I 100%, and I even mentioned it on Liberty Conspiracy, I said, look, this incessant, inappropriate drumbeat of comparing Donald Trump supporters with Nazis.
	At the same time, they have people from CNN standing in front of burning libraries at BLM protests saying it was a mostly peaceful protest, right?
	I mean, it's just so bald-facedly absurd.
	It's ridiculous, right?
	Right. And trying to draw out things, taking things by...
	There are so many things that they could appropriately use for criticism of Donald Trump, but they don't want to do it because they want to be able to do the exact same things.
	They want to have lockdowns. You know, when you talk about the vaccines and stuff like that, and the lockdowns and the masks and the ventilators, they've done the same thing, so of course they're not going to come after him.
	And that's one of the reasons why he gets all the pass from all the people in Washington, Republican as well as Democrat.
	It's really a shame.
	I think about all these types of things and how so much of this is caused by centralization, by having every decision, so many things decided.
	It is all integrated into Washington and the payoff system to the states and the regulatory systems.
	I think so many people have such normalcy bias now that this is the place.
	They have their great hope.
	Their great white hope is Donald.
	Their great orange-headed hope is Donald Trump.
	And I think about how important it is.
	In fact, David, I was looking at a book last night.
	It's just a novel.
	It's called Black Angus.
	And it opens with some folks who have cattle, and it describes how, you know, it's dirty work, the cattle, they have to do a blood test on some of the cattle, they're bringing them in.
	You can get conjunctivitis, you know, I mean, you can get bird flu, right?
	Yeah, exactly, exactly.
	And it really, it made me think about working at the farm stand, and about how So much is artificial now.
	And I was thinking about the Bible and how the Bible stresses family, generational respect.
	And I'll tell you this.
	And I mentioned this to Travis in my email earlier.
	A little bit earlier, I was listening to your show while I went down to visit with a woman who's an elderly lady and her husband just passed away.
	And they were just wonderful people to us as kids.
	They had kids. We played together as kids.
	So she lives down the country road.
	We had lightning storms last night.
	We had power fluctuations here while I was doing my show.
	And she didn't have power.
	She's like 90 years old, 90-something years old, no air conditioning, and no phone power.
	Everything's out. So my sister and I were talking to her daughter, who lives two hours, three hours away, and we said, we'll go check on her.
	So I was down there this morning, pulling stuff out of the driveway, branches and stuff like that, and I was thinking about how...
	So much is artificial, taken away from us by these arbitrary machines that perpetuate themselves, and then gaining the system.
	How wonderful it is to be able to go down and see this woman who gave me lemonade, gave me pieces of pie as a kid, and I'm back in her home, and now the tables have turned, and I'm helping her.
	And it gets me emotional, thinking about these sorts of things, how...
	They draw our attention away from all these things.
	They make us have to devote so much attention to all this other stuff.
	Even what kind of words are people using on this internet thing or that internet thing?
	When there's a woman down the street who's got no power, and I can go down and try to help her out.
	I got her hooked up so she can charge her phone inside her car and ask her if she wanted to come back up to the house up here.
	And it really makes me think of the grounding that one can get.
	And especially with your, as I mentioned to you in text, your ministry.
	Where... Every once in a while, it's just so important to have that memory of things and not have it done falsely.
	You look at the falsehoods that they're pushing at the RNC now.
	It is now built up into its own system of lies.
	And the way you pair that off is you stay local, you put your face in front of your neighbor, you have a family, I hope to have a family someday, and then you try to perpetuate that.
	Well, I just don't know what I was talking about with the kids.
	You know, the kids don't have any memory of how things used to be normal like we do.
	But if you get them off of the internet, instead of letting them be on that for seven to eight hours a day, social media would be a large part of that.
	Get them off so they've only got three hours a week.
	And I said, in two weeks, the kids who were troubled and had all these problems, why do they have these problems?
	Well, because of this demonic box that is there.
	It's not good for people at any age, but it's especially harmful for kids.
	They need to have human contact.
	And instead, we've got this black mirror, if you will, from the sci-fi thing, that demands our constant attention and demands that we pay attention to it instead of the people that are around us, even when we're eating.
	You know, we're looking at this thing constantly.
	I mean, I'm bad about that because I've got so much stuff I've got to look at.
	I'm scrolling through some of the stuff while I'm eating sometimes.
	But, you know, when we look at this, it's...
	It's demanding all of our attention, and it's very unhealthy, even for adults, but especially for kids.
	And we don't see kids out in the yards playing anymore.
	And even you hear people like a story I covered last week, where the cops got called on this little girl because she goes five doors, three to five doors down to visit a friend on a bicycle.
	On her bike, yeah. Or she was eight years old or something, right?
	She was like eight years old. And they called the cops on her.
	It's like, what is going on here?
	Nobody is supposed to be outside of their house, especially kids.
	It's crazy. You know, it's interesting, David, when you play the music and I see some of those scenes, you have some great footage of a creek, water flowing, beautiful, beautiful stuff.
	And we, you know, I had that when I grew up.
	We used to cut the base of vines and swing on vines in the woods and so on, you know.
	And it was wonderful. And working at the farm stand or looking at that book, Black Angus.
	I think there's something very important that God gave to us in connecting with the world around us, whether it's working with animals, seeing the life cycle of animals, the pairing of animals, raising their young, that sort of thing.
	There's something that really has to be stressed there.
	In modern society, I think a lot more people are starting to recognize that, David, with the work of you and Tony and other folks out there who are doing this sort of thing.
	Well, it's not just natural food, but it's just a natural environment.
	You know, being there and seeing, you know, what God has done and relating to these things that truly are amazing.
	When you get back and you only deal with things that are artificial, only things that are man-made, when they put you in a cubicle or we allow ourselves...
	To be adapted into this situation where we're always in front of the device and not out there with other people, it really is a self-limiting thing, and a lot of us just fall into that habit.
	Yeah, so true.
	So true. And, you know, it's interesting, David.
	I'll just briefly mention to you, one of the amazing things in these human connections that comes through is my friend Tom Monteleone.
	Tom is an award-winning horror writer, science fiction writer.
	He's had things, options for movies and things like that.
	He's won multiple Bram Stoker Awards, all those things, you know, right?
	Right. Well, he discovered that the people at the Horror Writers Association a number of years ago, he noticed that they were starting to push DEI. They were starting to promote, oh, this is the first female trans whatever who has won this award.
	Vampire. Yeah, he started to suspect that maybe they were giving the awards not for merit, but for other reasons, right?
	Again, prima facie, racism, sexism, but they think that it's acceptable now.
	So they're harming good writers who should be considered because of somebody else's skin color, and they're going to prefer that thing.
	The very thing that I thought was bad, right?
	So Tom called them on it, and he ended up finding...
	Somebody sent to him an email from the Horror Writers Association where they literally said, for the Lifetime Achievement Awards, we're trying to make sure that there are slots open for different types of categories of people or something like that, who in the past...
	Didn't get the recognition they deserve.
	So what do you get? You're saying, again, it's reparations all over again, except with the awards process.
	So he exposed it.
	They then tried to take away his Bram Stoker awards.
	They wouldn't allow him at any of their conventions.
	They ostracized him.
	So I had him on the Liberty Conspiracy show, you know, as I was just getting started up last year.
	I had him on. He's sort of one of my mentors.
	He's a really good guy, Tom Monteleone.
	And he was so, so grateful because he said, you know, Guard, you know, I've been excluded from this magazine where I used to write.
	I've been excluded from this, excluded from that.
	He said, he approached me later.
	He said, Guard, would you like to edit this collection?
	We do a series of short collections.
	It was a Robert E. Howard collection.
	And I said, sure. And since that time, he approached me to edit another one, E.F. Benson, Ghost Stories.
	And I said, sure.
	And looking back at some of these older stories, to sort of bring it around, some of these older stories, I'm looking at E.F. Benson, who was the son of the Archbishop of Canterbury.
	And again, in these stories, you can see how these people, just like Dostoevsky, just like so many others, were trying to warn people about materialism.
	They were trying to keep people connected to the ground.
	And this was a guy who, by the way, when his father passed away, Queen Victoria invited his mother to bring their family into Windsor Castle to live with her.
	And she said no.
	Well, you know, I think about J.R.R. Tolkien.
	He was very much about that as well, and what he was talking about, being grounded in the natural.
	We've only got about 40 seconds.
	Tell people what's going on with Liberty Conspiracy, where they can find you, and the 40 seconds we've got here.
	Well, big thanks to you, David.
	Great stuff. Liberty Conspiracy, Monday through Friday on Rockfin, on Rumble, on YouTube as well, very small, and on my X slash Twitter.
	It's at Guard Goldsmith.
	And then my MRCTV work, I do videos for them at MRCTV.org.
	And then there's the Substack.
	Just look up Gardner Goldsmith Substack.
	I'll see you there. And I think we're going to be starting a Liberty Conspiracy publishing unit, which will be putting out short stories, conversations, And folks, get down to the subscribe star thing and get his Sunday update.
	Excellent work, guard. Thank you for coming on.
	Have a good day. Thank you. Let me tell you, The David Knight Show, you can listen to with your ears.
	You can even watch it by using your eyes.
	In fact, if you can hear me, that means you're listening to The David Knight Show right now.
	Yeah, good job.
	And you want to know something else?
