	You're listening to The David Knight Show.
	As the clock strikes 13, it's Friday, the 19th of July.
	Year of our Lord 2024.
	Well, today we're going to cover the wrap-up at the RNC. It's kind of some interesting encounters besides Trump's speech.
	You had several senators chase down the head of the Secret Service.
	You had an encounter with Matt Gaetz and McCarthy again.
	But we're also going to take a look at Joe Biden.
	Should we change the way that his name is spelled?
	Should it be B-Y-E-D-O-N-E? Bye.
	You're done. That seems to be what the Democrats are saying to him.
	We're going to take a look at the consequences of that and what is likely to happen at the Democrat convention that is coming up.
	Forget about democracy.
	We'll be right back.
	Well, the RNC concluded last night with a late night speech of
	former President Trump.
	And, of course, it wasn't so much the content, it wasn't so much the issues, but it's always about the demeanor.
	And, obviously, as I think mainstream media kept using the term mellow over and over again, what I've seen in Trump since the incident, when he was introduced and people were applauding him and that type of thing, and it was still there when he spoke.
	Last night at the convention, a very different demeanor, not as cocky, not as angry as before.
	That would serve him well in the campaign, but I'd only seen that once before.
	And that was in those clips that I put together about a month ago where people asked him if he had ever asked for forgiveness.
	You know, you talk a lot, and that was going back to 2016.
	And people have said, have you ever asked for forgiveness?
	You know, you've had a lot of interesting things that you've done in your life.
	Have you ever asked God for forgiveness?
	You like to talk about how you're Christian and, you know, you hold the Bible up and you do these other things.
	That's before we started selling Bibles.
	And he was kind of defensive, and again, his demeanor, I don't really know how to describe it, wasn't really, I guess you could say it was kind of mellow, but it was also kind of more submissive than Trump would normally be.
	And so I thought it was interesting to see that demeanor.
	Nevertheless, when we look at the policies, The policies that are there, the policies that are not even Trump, the policies that are going to be there from the people who actually run the government, the CIA. Don't ever forget that in his first administration, he had all these Goldman Sachs appointees.
	Now, of course, we're going to be different, as we were talking about yesterday with Tony.
	This time, maybe he'll go to J.P. Morgan and get Jamie Dimon.
	That's what he was saying when he was asked about it.
	He said, no, I'll leave Powell there.
	He's done such a great job, you know.
	Manipulating the fiat currency.
	I'll probably leave Powell there, and I'll bring in Jamie Demon from J.P. Morgan to run Treasury.
	And then you look at the military-industrial complex, the people that were left there.
	Take a look at Gina Haspel, who was put in effectively in charge of the CIA from day one.
	Pompeo was tentatively, or supposedly, the head of the CIA, but...
	She was really running it as number two.
	And then he moved Pompeo to Secretary of State and made her officially number one.
	The person who tortured people gave the tortured lies to people to start the Iraq war during the George W. Bush administration.
	Did they want to just have some plausible deny bill?
	Did they really believe that stuff?
	Or did they just want to have an excuse and she gave it to them?
	Nevertheless, these are the people who run the government.
	It's going to be the bankers.
	It's going to be the military-industrial complex.
	It's going to be the CIA, regardless of who gets in there.
	There's different groups.
	There's different bankers.
	There's different factions within the CIA, as I frequently talk about.
	But when we look at some of the policies, for example, New York City is now planned to stop treating the bodies of second and third trimester aborted babies as human remains.
	The New York City Department of Health is solidifying its erroneous stance that pre-born babies are not human beings as it plans to toss a requirement on how their bodies should be handled.
	New York City Health has decided to throw away the requirement that babies aborted at or after 24 weeks.
	That's about six months of pregnancy.
	Now, Travis, pull this article up because I want people to see some of these pictures here.
	NYC plans to stop treating bodies.
	At about six months of pregnancy to be treated as human beings, that's the current rule, and sent to funeral homes for proper burial or cremation.
	Instead, the abortion facilities can now keep the bodies on premises to do as they please with them.
	What would they do with them?
	Of course, it's not going to be...
	They're not going to sell the body parts to Fauci or his NIAID or the NIH or some other people do experiments on and to make humanized mice because they're too damaged.
	That's not where they got the body parts.
	They got the body parts by having the kids be born and then taking them apart.
	And, of course, Lala Harris was at the very center of Of shutting down the information about that.
	The RNC is very quiet about all of that connection, aren't they?
	Every state has statutes about the proper disposal of human remains and in New York, specific regulations govern the process of the handling burial and cremation of deceased individuals.
	So what's the issue?
	Well, the issue is, is that if people were to see the bodies of these aborted babies and realize how horrifically these babies are treated, writes Live Action, it could create problems for the pro-abortion New York City government.
	And it'll expose two truths.
	Number one, human fetuses are human beings.
	And number two, abortion violently kills them.
	The aborted bodies of five babies that were aborted late in pregnancy discovered in a medical waste bin outside of a no-rules abortion facility in Washington, D.C. exposed these truths.
	Show some of those pictures there.
	See, these are the pictures that you're not supposed to see.
	Because if you saw these pictures, forget the hand that is there that's really large.
	If you saw these pictures, you would realize they were talking about babies being killed.
	And they are not going to treat them with the respect that you would treat a human being, because what respect do you have for a human being that you just ripped apart?
	Seeing the baby is very traumatic, but if the aborted child is merely a product of conception, if the aborted child is merely pregnancy tissue, as Planned Parenthood and so many on the left maintain, if it's not human, then why should it be traumatic?
	They get very upset if you show this on TV. Again, Matt Drudge.
	Showed pictures even, not of an aborted baby, but a baby where there was an operation going on, Baby Samuel, if you remember that, back in the 90s.
	There was an operation that was, they discovered the baby had spina bifida.
	They could do something to help to mitigate that to some degree.
	By doing an early operation, as they were doing the operation, the baby reached its tiny hand up and grasped the surgeon's pinky.
	Matt Drudge showed that on Fox News.
	And they fired him. And when I got a chance to talk to Matt, I said, thank you for doing that.
	He said, what? Oh, that.
	I just did that to get under my contract with Fox.
	It's like, well, whatever.
	You know, God can use that.
	Whatever your motivation was.
	Abortion is traumatic because it destroys a human being.
	That's what they don't want you to see.
	That's what they don't want you to know.
	It's just a clump of cells, right?
	Women who've seen their aborted babies have discussed how traumatic it was for them, even during early pregnancy.
	What Van Why and other abortion advocates in the New York City Health Department are arguing is that women should be trusted to make the decision of when and how to kill their pre-born babies, while also claiming that it's too traumatizing for these same women to agree to either cremation or burial for those babies.
	In other words, we're going to do this because we don't want to ask them what they want to do.
	That's too traumatic to talk to them about it.
	And so as Live Action says, can women handle abortion or can't they?
	New York City Health. If seeing an aborted child's body is traumatic or merely deciding on whether to cremate or bury the body of a child you just aborted is traumatic, It's likely because women will be facing the true impact of their choice to seek what is euphemistically called reproductive healthcare.
	Well, so the question is, when the Republicans are doing their convention here, how do they feel about that?
	You know, is it barbaric?
	Isn't that what the Trump RNC is doing?
	It's kind of interesting when they interviewed J.D. Vance on some of these issues.
	He basically said that when they interviewed Eric Trump.
	He said, my father has always been there on those issues.
	I said, you know, the Republican Party is no longer calling for a federal abortion ban, no longer defines marriage between one man and one woman.
	Oh, my father's always been there on those issues.
	The Republican platform, interestingly, has moved to the center on a couple of key issues.
	There's no, for the first time in 40 years, the Republican platform does not call for a federal abortion ban.
	It no longer defines marriage as between one man and one woman, but it doesn't So is this a sign that your father is moving to the center in some ways or on some issues?
	I think he's always been there on those issues, to tell you the truth.
	And I think that's reflective of who my father is and what he believes in.
	And I think that's reflective of my wife, Laura, who runs the RNC and clearly what she believes in.
	I'm proud of the party. I mean, listen, at the end of the day, this country has real holes in the roof, and you've got to fix those holes, and you've got to stop worrying about the little, you know, spot on the wall in the basement.
	You've got to fix those holes, and we've got real immigration problems.
	Got holes in the roof, and you got a little bit of spots.
	He thinks that, you know, paying attention to the definition of marriage and abortion, he thinks that those are just spots on the wall.
	No, actually, that's your foundation of your building right there.
	You built your building on shifting sands, not on a foundation that'll last.
	That's your real problem.
	Yeah, the holes on the roof, we've got lots of those.
	We might as well not even have a roof, or walls for that matter.
	But the reason that we've got shaky walls and a shaky roof is because of our foundation that's there.
	It's gotten so bad, as we talked about before, the incantation from a woman who was Sikh, who led a prayer to, again, she had done some work, so fine, as one person said, recognize her.
	But to let her lead a prayer with this Waha Guru or something, saying that Waha Guru is the one true God, that's a bit different, isn't it?
	And so Babylon Bee poked fun at that, said Republicans are concerned as the RNC opens up with an incantation to Cthulhu, a squid-like thing that was imagined by a horror writer, H.P. Lovecraft.
	This whole thing, calling Wahaguru the one true God.
	I mean, what is even a Wahaguru?
	Is it like a Pokemon? Now this Cthulhu incantation with all the magic dust and wizards up on stage.
	I'm starting to think, maybe the Republican Party isn't completely supportive of us conservative Christians.
	Well, J.D. Vance made that clear.
	He told Christians, they'll always have a seat at the table, so shut up and sit down.
	He didn't say that last part, but that's essentially what is going on.
	And then we have a lot of internal animosity.
	Bill Gates fighting with, not Bill Gates, Matt Gates fighting with some other Republicans who are not too happy with him, and they made fun of his appearance.
	He has a brand new sparkling appearance here.
	Looks a bit plastic, doesn't it?
	A lot of people put up pictures of this human Barbie who has had like 50 plastic surgery operations or whatever.
	Some users on social media suggested Gates had recently undergone Botox or some other cosmetic procedures.
	Maybe he's in Florida.
	Maybe he's got the same surgeon as Laura Loomer.
	Van Orden, a congressman, took the accusations to a new level.
	By comparing Gates to an inflatable sex doll.
	But there was also, before that, yet another confrontation With Matt Gaetz coming after McCarthy on the floor.
	Listen to this. What night are you speaking?
	Are you speaking tonight?
	If you took that stage, you would get booed off of it.
	You would get booed off the stage.
	And then there was more words, which we will not...
	I know the other conversation, we do have audio for it, but it's not something we're going to play on the radio.
	So yeah, there's some issues.
	And then we had Peter Navarro come straight out of prison.
	To a speaking engagement at the convention, he said, I went to prison so you won't have to.
	Did he do that? Did he do that for us?
	Well, thank you, Peter. I didn't realize.
	I thought you were part of the lockdown lockup stuff.
	Now you're locked up.
	Okay, you're doing that for us?
	I am your wake-up call.
	Yeah, he was. He woke me up.
	Big time. He and Trump, like, these guys are the worst I've ever seen as president.
	And then Biden came along as well, continued the same policies, added his mandates.
	But it was bad enough what Navarro was doing, telling everybody they got locked down, and then proud of the fact that he's out there manufacturing very expensive ventilators.
	Paying hospitals to put them in?
	These ventilators that killed people?
	He's got blood on his hands.
	He ought to be in prison. He ought to be in prison for the rest of his life based on what Peter Navarro did in 2020.
	I have no sympathy for him.
	He's not doing any of this for you.
	He's not doing any of it for the Bill of Rights either.
	As a matter of fact, he says, if they come for me, if they come for Donald Trump, be careful.
	They'll come after you. You know what?
	They come after us all the time.
	And you guys don't ever care, do you?
	You don't care about the SWAT team raids.
	You don't care about the political persecution.
	You don't care about the censorship.
	Nothing. Nothing. You don't care about the Bill of Rights.
	Period. You violated our Bill of Rights.
	You came for us in 2020.
	He called the House Select Committee a sham committee.
	They refuse to testify before, just like Biden.
	And just like, not Biden, Bannon.
	Just like Bannon, they both go to jail because they refuse to testify.
	And again, I'm aware that Hunter Biden did exactly the same thing.
	And that's another issue.
	Double standard of justice.
	The fact that Biden did that doesn't excuse their stupidity.
	Do they not know? Do they not know that they're going to be held to the letter of the law?
	And do they not know about the Bill of Rights and how it could help them?
	They could have pled the Fifth Amendment.
	But you see, these people don't know or care about the Bill of Rights when it comes to you.
	And so, as a result, they don't know about the Bill of Rights when it comes to them.
	He didn't go to prison so that we won't go to prison.
	He threw away our Bill of Rights, and then it wasn't there for him because he is so uninterested in it.
	These people are hoisted by their own petard.
	They care nothing about the Constitution, nothing about the Bill of Rights and Due Process.
	And so, you know, it works that way for them as well.
	Gates also said they can run Biden from the nursing home.
	Well, they did everything they could to run everybody into the nursing home and to incentivize it and then to get the poison into the nursing homes first.
	I'll never forget the very beginning of January.
	Trump is still president. And there was a guy who was about 30 years old, and he was a Christian.
	He put up a clip, and he was in tears.
	He said, we were very careful around our patients that we have here in the nursing home, because we didn't have a single one of them die in all of 2020.
	And then, in late December, they came around with the Trump shots.
	And I forget how many of them died right away.
	And he said the ones that didn't die, they're just like in a fog at this moment.
	He says, I can't do this.
	I can't be a part of this.
	He said in tears.
	So yeah, let's talk about nursing homes, Matt Gaetz.
	Yeah, they can run Biden from the nursing home.
	Let's talk about the poison and the vaccines.
	No, nobody wants to talk about that, do they?
	And then you've got Burgum, who talks about the war on energy.
	And he talks a good game.
	He says, Biden's green agenda feels like it was written by China, Russia, and Iran.
	Yeah, it does. Before specifying the president's mandate to force Americans to drive electric vehicles.
	He said, let's look at Biden's EV mandates.
	Where do nearly all the batteries and the rare earth minerals come from, China?
	The day that Biden halted permits for clean U.S. natural gas export facilities?
	Just think about the party they must have thrown that night at the Kremlin.
	Well, that's all exactly right.
	But you see, the real problem is not so much Biden as it is the Paris Climate Accord.
	And the real problem is not so much that we've got issues with natural gas, and of course, Doug Burgum, Christine Ohm, the Summit CEO, the company that's running the CO2 pipeline,
	they all are pals of Trump, They'll come together, all three of them came together with Trump at Mar-a-Lago to talk about this pipeline boondoggle, to capture CO2 somewhere across the country, pipe it all the way across the country so they can pump it into the ground in North Dakota and South Dakota.
	And these Republican governors are going to be a part of that boondoggle, just like Musk is a part of all this green agenda.
	They will not tackle the lies.
	They will not tackle the lie of man-made climate change.
	They'll not tackle the lie of CO2 as a greenhouse gas and all the rest of this stuff.
	And they will not tackle the Paris Climate Accord.
	And that's true of Trump as well.
	This is why there's not going to be any change.
	These people will push their policies so they can make money off the green agenda.
	It's just who is going to run which policies.
	And then we have Whitney Webb talking about J.D. Vance and talking about his connections to Peter Thiel.
	As I talked about him the other day.
	And of course, Eric Schmidt. If you look at it...
	It's kind of interesting because Peter Thiel, she doesn't even talk about his transhumanist technocrat connections with Peter Thiel, Eric Schmidt, and these other people, and they all are transhumanists, just like Elon Musk.
	They're transhumanists. They push the singularity.
	There's actually Peter Thiel who set up Singularity Foundation where they're celebrating what they think is going to be soon happening, the merging of humans with machines to become cyborgs, which Musk talks about all the time.
	And, of course, these guys set up the pack that Elon Musk, also a part of the PayPal Mafia, Elon Musk is going to be contributing $45 million a month between now and the election.
	In other words, $180 million from one guy.
	In case that doesn't get your attention, just think about the fact that all these people are regulars at Bilderberg.
	You've got Peter Thiel, who's always there.
	Eric Schmidt, who's always there.
	Alex Karp, who runs Palantir.
	Peter Thiel funded the foundation of that.
	They're always there.
	They're the regulars now at Bilderberg.
	Now that Kissinger is gone.
	I guess maybe that's why Alex Jones doesn't send people to Bilderberg anymore, right?
	All the people that are running Bilderberg now, they're part of the Trump administration.
	And so Whitney Webb wrote a piece talking about the man behind Trump's VP pick.
	It's worse than you think, she said.
	And talking about the connections between Teal and Vance, which I talked about, was it on Tuesday, I guess?
	I think the announcement was on Monday after the show.
	Monday afternoon, I think.
	So I talked about the connections between Teal and Vance.
	Just to summarize, to recap what I reported on Tuesday, Teal...
	Recruited Vance into his circle when Vance was still a student at Yale Law School and got to California.
	He became part of the venture capital firm, worked for Peter Thiel for a while.
	And then he introduced him to other people that came into the circle.
	People like Eric Schmidt, former CEO of Google.
	And as I pointed out on Tuesday, Eric Schmidt has been at the epicenter.
	Of the military-industrial complex since he left Google.
	Highly focused on high-tech, I mean, when you talk about drone swarms, you talk about artificial intelligence, you talk about autonomous killer robots, autonomous killer drones, that's where Schmidt has focused.
	And, um, so he has been part of the Biden administration's military industrial complex, but he will also be a part of the Trump administration.
	Uh, he is, um, as I said, when I interviewed, uh, the individual wrote the four battlegrounds and I, you know, they were looking at the four battlegrounds that we have coming up with China.
	Uh, I wanted to talk to him about the artificial intelligence aspect of it, but throughout his book, he talks about Eric Schmidt and what he's doing with artificial intelligence, weaponizing it.
	There is a commission called the National Security Commission on AI. N-S-C-A-I. Schmidt leads that.
	And they promoted a lot of things like ending private car ownership.
	And understand, DARPA runs these contests.
	They had one with robots.
	But the very first one that they did was the autonomous car.
	So private cars have been in the crosshairs from DARPA before anybody else started trying to shut these things down.
	This is not one of the reasons why you see Elon Musk adding the supposed self-driving cars to his electric vehicles.
	He was doing everything that the government wanted, everything that DARPA wanted.
	You know, let's shift everybody to battery-operated, grid-dependent vehicles and eliminate drivers.
	Fortunately, he hasn't gotten the technology worked out yet of either of those aspects.
	Schmidt and Thiel are key members of this steering committee on artificial intelligence.
	And, of course, they are key members of Bilderberg as well.
	Newsweek once called Schmidt and Thiel the two most influential figures at Bilderberg.
	It's not about Henry Kissinger anymore.
	Of course, he died, but I mean, he was, for quite some time, he's been very old.
	He was always the elder statesman, I guess you could call, of that group.
	But, you know, somebody, Kissinger, somebody that Steve Pachenik, Alex's handler, worked for.
	Teal has donated heavily to Vance's political career, as we pointed out.
	15 million. Some people say 10 million, but I've seen a couple of reports that it was actually 15 million that he gave to J.D. Vance to win his Senate election in 2022.
	It was the largest donation ever given to a Senate candidate.
	And then Peter Thiel took J.D. Vance to Mar-a-Lago to kiss and make up with Trump because he'd been an adamant never-Trumper.
	So he can go there, kiss the ring, and make up and be introduced by him.
	Thiel also connected Vance to other members of the PayPal mafia.
	These are people who were part of PayPal.
	They all made so much money that they all became venture capitalists.
	Same thing is true of J.D. Vance.
	But David Sachs donated a million dollars to Vance, hosted a fundraiser for him.
	Sachs, along with PayPal co-founder Elon Musk, allegedly a key factor in Trump's selection of Vance as vice president, they ran a secret lobbying campaign for Vance that also included Tucker Carlson.
	And of course, when I think the $45 million a month donation was What reflected J.D. Vance being put in, not the assassination attempt.
	Thiel had been a major donor to Trump's 2016 presidential campaign, and other figures linked to Peter Thiel, like Trey Stevens, had a lot of influence at Trump's Pentagon, helped to develop the military's relationship with another Thiel-funded company called Andruil.
	All these Lord of the Rings references, right?
	Andrew Will, Palantir.
	This one actually fits in very well with Trump because, as Whitney Webb points out, we all know Trump didn't build the wall.
	MAGA insists that he did.
	They just live in this fantasy world.
	It's just amazing.
	You can't reason with these people.
	But no, he didn't build the wall.
	He repaired some areas of it, and he added a little bit of it, but like I said before, it's like a 2,000-mile border with a 400-mile wall and a 1,600-mile door.
	You want to call that protecting the border?
	If he protected the border, then how come we got so many people coming across during the Biden administration?
	Of course, Biden's not doing anything to stop them, but how do they come across if there's a wall?
	Well, he's not going to do a physical border.
	The Andrew is a drone program.
	And Trump is talking about doing an electronic wall.
	And of course, this drone system that Andrew has is already being used in Ukraine.
	And it's being used for surveillance.
	It's being used to attack.
	Teal's efforts to rehabilitate and remake some of the intelligence community's most Orwellian and unconstitutional efforts to target domestic dissent.
	And then Whitney talks about Palantir.
	Palantir is the engine on which the surveillance state runs.
	Soon after Vance was announced as Trump's VP, it was reported that Palantir co-founder Joe Lonsdale, as well as Palantir itself, were backing a Trump-Vance super PAC called America PAC. That's where Elon Musk is going to dump his $45 million a month.
	I've talked about Palantir for a long time.
	As a matter of fact, this is one of the final reports that I did.
	I did it on...
	Let's see. I think I did it either on the Monday or the Tuesday after the...
	After they had put out the 60 Minutes report about how they're going to roll out Operation Warp Speed.
	Of course, they did that Sunday after the election.
	And so this is like on the Monday or Tuesday after that.
	And of course, at that point in time, Stop the Steal and Steve Pachenik's Sting line, everything, that was all full speed ahead.
	So here's what I said at that point in time about Palantir, because it really hasn't changed.
	This is about four years ago.
	When I watched the 60 Minutes piece about Operation Warp Speed and how the general is going to get it out, he's going to execute it, we're going to get it everywhere, to everybody, right at once, within 24 hours.
	And then we've got CDC out there, they're going to report to us within 24 hours, everybody that gets it, where they got it, when they got it, how they got it.
	And they're also going to report to them within 24 hours, according to the CDC documents that I've read to you, to people who refused it.
	That's also going to be reported within 24 hours.
	And I said, I thought it was interesting that it was named Tiberius.
	Because Tiberius was the second emperor of imperial Rome when Rome became an empire and got rid of being a republic.
	And this is now our second false flag.
	I don't know. But then it got even more significant because I noticed that the Wall Street Journal was bragging about the fact that it's Palantir.
	Palantir that the military has signed on to do the tracking for the COVID-19 state, local health officials and the military.
	Now this should not come really as a surprise because Palantir's entire business model, since they were created by funding from the CIA and In-Q-Tel, they were created by the CIA and their major contractors have all been the military and the surveillance state from the very beginning and they're very conscious about the analogy that they use.
	They call themselves Palantir because they're a data mining company.
	And they talk about the Hobbit and the Shire and they have all these different things in their headquarters and of course if you remember the Lord of the Rings, the Palantir with the crystal balls, you can even see that in their logo, crystal balls that were used by the kings to communicate with each other and then it got hijacked by the dark side.
	Maybe it was dark winter when that happened, I don't know.
	The dark side, Sauron hijacks that and then with the Palantir, if you look into that Palantir, he can look into you right there.
	You remember that from the movie, right?
	He can look into you and that's what they're doing with their data analytics.
	They're looking into you. The company, of course, has been tapped to track this.
	Palantir does consciously like to name their products after what they're really designed for, and they were the ones who named the system Tiberius.
	Significant names and a nod to what this is really about, the empire.
	And of course, if you point out the empire, the emperor has no clothes, you'll be attacked by the mob rather than thanked by the mob.
	You know, that's the difference in the fable and reality.
	If you point and say, this guy funded Operation Warp Speed, tens of billions of dollars, and now the election's over, he's not stopping it.
	If you do that, the mob offends of the emperor with no clothes.
	Come after you! That's right.
	They don't like that. They don't like you pointing out that their emperor has no clothes.
	Or their sugar daddy has no clothes.
	That kind of stuff can get you fired at Infowars.
	Stealth Patriot says, did anyone hear Alex Jones say the other day that he started Q along with some other people that he wouldn't name?
	You never know when Alex is lying or not.
	He compared Q to Operation Trust for years.
	Now, he says he started Q. Mm-hmm.
	Yeah. Yep.
	Long time I heard him saying that kind of stuff.
	And it was a lie.
	It was a deception from the very beginning.
	I mean, it was Jerome Corsi.
	Made a lot of money.
	He wrote a book.
	He got very popular based on Q as well.
	And he said, oh yeah, I know who Q is and all these people.
	He actually had a book.
	He was advertising it on Rush Limbaugh at the time.
	He got his ticket punched.
	Made lots of money deceiving people.
	It came on my show right after Trump became president.
	And he said, yeah, look at this latest QAnon drop.
	And it says something about, you know...
	White cross on a red background.
	Something that he interpreted.
	You know, this anonymous thing where he speaks in riddles.
	And I'm supposed to believe that as a source?
	Are you kidding me? What kind of a journalist are you if you do anything like that?
	What kind of critical thinker are you if you rely on any of that kind of nonsense?
	An anonymous source that speaks in riddles.
	And... So, there was a falling out with them and Q started attacking them and said, somebody else has taken over Q. And it's like, yeah, right, okay, whatever.
	But he was predicting, he said, based on this, it's like red and white.
	He goes, they're going to release Julian Assange.
	And they're going, 2017.
	They're going to release Julian Assange and they're going to fly him to Switzerland.
	And that's what Trump's going to do.
	I said, oh really? Okay, well, we'll see about that.
	I told the crew, I said, never have Jerome on again.
	I'm not interested in pushing lies like that.
	Anyway, Palantir was created to be a privatized version of the 9-11 surveillance program.
	You know, replacing stuff like total information awareness and life log and other things like that.
	It's about data mining.
	It's about geospatial intelligence, quite frankly, the thing that nobody wants to talk about.
	It was part of a program that had been dreamt up by the Iran-Contra criminals way back during the Reagan administration.
	Responsible for the unconstitutional main core database.
	Isn't it interesting? You know, we look at the internet itself.
	Goes back to a DARPA psychologist, J.C.R. Licklider, in the 1960s.
	And then this, having a main core database, that goes back to the criminals centered around the Iran-Contra thing.
	People like Oliver North and others.
	During the Reagan administration, individuals at the heart of the Iran-Contra scandal developed a database called Maine Corps.
	And let's understand, who was that?
	Whitney doesn't talk about who was really at the heart of it.
	Oliver North was there.
	She mentions that. But who was it that really ran Iran-Contra?
	Well, it was Wild Bill Casey, one of the guys who was key in the OSS, and he was one of the early founders of the CIA, just like Obama's.
	His grandparents on his mother's side were part of the OSS and then some of the founders of the CIA. It's a club.
	It's a club. And so, it was Bill Casey who was really kind of running Reagan's campaign.
	You know, like this other spook wannabe, Steve Bannon, and his connections to all these people, running Trump's campaign.
	Worried about Jeffrey Epstein.
	This helps to explain why Alex Acosta, the so-called prosecutor who paved the way for Epstein to not be punished, Perhaps that's why he got such a plum job as a labor secretary, to keep him quiet about what he knew about Jeffrey Epstein.
	Nevertheless, when you look at going back to the Iran-Contra thing, Bill Casey, CIA, running the campaign for Reagan, and he went secretly.
	The Iran-Contra thing began with a secret visit from Bill Casey to Iran.
	He said, you want spare parts for those state-of-the-art jets that we sold to the Shah?
	Well, keep these hostages until Reagan takes office and then release them, and we'll do a deal with you.
	And so then they took that...
	Dark money that they made from selling those parts to Iran and use that to fund a covert war in Central America.
	And then eventually they started funding that covert war by doing crack cocaine and pushing that into the poor neighborhoods, the poor black neighborhoods of L.A. and other places.
	Oh, these people are great, aren't they?
	CIA, drugs, drugs.
	Secret wars, assassinations, coups, you name it.
	Isn't our government great?
	Because that's what our government is.
	Whenever I see the American flag, I think CIA. That's what I think when I see it.
	I don't think about the people in the military.
	They're doing the best they can, many of them, patriotically thinking that they're serving their country.
	They're serving the CIA. Let's get real about this stuff.
	Don't project your values onto the flag.
	Don't project your values onto these presidential candidates.
	Open your eyes.
	Take a look at the reality of this stuff.
	Maine Corps, back in the 1980s, was a database of Americans who, often for the slightest and most trivial reason, are considered unfriendly, and who, in a time of panic, might be incarcerated.
	You might be on that if somehow you turn up on a no-fly list for no reason.
	And, of course, now you can't know why you're on a no-fly list.
	Not allowed to tell you why.
	Not allowed to tell you how you get off.
	Maine Corps was expressly developed for use in the continuity of government protocols by a key Iran-Contra figure, Oliver North.
	It was done on an off-the-books intelligence apparatus, an involvement in an enterprise in something known as the Enterprise North, and his associates used continuity of government and Maine Corps to compile a list of U.S. dissidents and potential troublemakers to be dealt with if the continuity of government protocol was ever invoked.
	These protocols could be invoked for a variety of reasons, including widespread public nonviolent opposition to military intervention abroad, widespread internal dissent, or a vaguely defined moment of quote national crisis or time of panic.
	North would later brush up against the Trump administration, joining former Blackwater founder Eric Prince in an effort to lobby the administration to create an off-the-books private CIA.
	It also utilized PROMIS software, software that was stolen from Inslaw, Inc. by top Reagan and U.S. intelligence officials, as well as Israeli spy master Rafi Eitan.
	Intimately involved in the Promise scandal was media baron and Israeli super spy Robert Maxwell, the father of Ghislaine Maxwell, who was a man who brought Jeffrey Epstein into all of this.
	Like Promise, main core involved both U.S. and Israeli intelligence and was a big data approach to the surveillance of perceived domestic dissonance.
	Now, the reason she talks about all this, and I'm not going to go any further into it, is because this is the genealogy, if you will, of these artificial intelligence programs built on Promise, built on main core.
	Then you have Palantir, then the geospatial intelligence, and now bringing in artificial intelligence.
	This is the technology to make this stuff work, in the same way that they had for, you know, 40 years, an idea of how they were going to do the internet from a psychologist at DARPA. But it was dependent on them getting switching circuitry that was of a sufficient bandwidth.
	And then they started rushing to get these social media companies in place and using their venture capital funds.
	They actually created their own venture capital firm.
	CIA did, called In-Q-Tel.
	But they had people on the boards of all these different venture capital firms picking the competitors for this.
	Same thing is happening now with artificial intelligence for the next step of this thing.
	So, bottom line...
	J.D. and Trump are funded by the globalist elite so that they can get this stuff run through.
	So just think about that.
	As a matter of fact, we look at Mar-a-Lago.
	In an interview that was a few days before the debate back in June 27th, Bloomberg interviewed Trump, and as part of that interview, right in the middle of the interview, somebody comes in with some paperwork or whatever.
	They're interviewing him, and the resort's longtime manager and director dropped by during the conversation.
	Trump noted with pride that the club would increase its initiation fee from $700,000 to $1 million in October.
	Cost a million dollars to join the club at Mar-a-Lago.
	They'll have four new slots open, he said, aside presumably of the increased value of proximity to potentially the next president.
	And I don't know, does that get you a night at the Jeffrey Epstein room?
	114 room mansion. I mean, they ought to name one of the rooms after Jeffrey Epstein, considering what close friends they were.
	But yeah, a million dollars to join the club.
	Well, you know what? It's a big club and you ain't in it.
	You ain't in it.
	you
	Yeah, unfortunately that's true.
	Well, when we come back, we're going to talk about somebody who is asleep.
	Sleepy Joe Biden. And the efforts to get him out that may culminate over this weekend.
	We'll be right back. You're listening to The David Knight Show.
	Welcome back. On RockFan, thank you, Doug.
	I appreciate the tip.
	He says, Happy Friday, David and crew.
	Well, thank you very much. And on RockFan, EcoTaxi, thank you for the tip.
	He says, Yesterday, our much-beloved Dr.
	Shiva Did a YouTube live stream for 96 minutes.
	Typically great, insightful lecture, immediately following the Q&A, titled The Trump Shooting.
	Well, I'm sure that was interesting.
	And Little John would request a smoky song as a break.
	All right, we'll do that for the next break.
	Let's talk a little bit about Biden.
	And, you know, I said at the beginning of this, when they started talking about, after the...
	After the debate, when everybody started talking about this, I said, you know, this is very suspicious.
	They set this thing up.
	We never had a debate so early.
	Again, the debates typically happen after both of the conventions, after they've got an officially nominated candidate.
	But, of course, we didn't have any primaries.
	We didn't have any debates during the so-called primaries.
	These two guys are just coronated.
	It's not an election. It's a selection this time around, isn't it?
	But I was skeptical.
	I said, I don't think that they're going to be able to dislodge him.
	Not because he's mentally capable, but because this is a collective that is running this thing.
	All these people are selected.
	There's also a lot of people around him that they're going to have to somehow buy off or whatever.
	I didn't think that they would do it.
	And for quite a while, they were kind of in the background.
	Then you had one person here and one person there come out.
	I guess one of the key things that kicked it off was George Clooney writing that op-ed piece.
	He was doing it as a front for Obama.
	That was pretty obvious from the very beginning.
	Because as he put it out, just a couple of weeks after he and Obama had taken the stage with Biden to raise $30 million for him.
	Then within a couple of weeks, he says, yeah, this guy is just not capable of doing anything.
	He's like, well, why didn't you tell people that before?
	You think he's changed that much in a couple of weeks?
	It was very phony. But one of the other people who came out was also somebody that was part of the Obama inner circle.
	And I said, so, you know, Obama is really kind of taking the lead on this thing, trying to push him out.
	But I was still skeptical at that point.
	And quite frankly, I think the thing that turned it around was the shooting.
	Regardless of who was behind it, it blew up in their face, just like a lot of the lawfare blew up in their face.
	And so now you see Trump's national lead over Biden growing, the largest national lead over Biden in the campaign thus far.
	But again, these are polls.
	It's months before anything happens.
	And I just want to caution people.
	Don't think that it is certain that your candidate is going to win, and don't get pushed into a bigger version of January the 6th, some kind of a civil war.
	That's what they want.
	That's what people like Bannon and Alex Jones are doing.
	They're trying to push you into another January the 6th, this time for a civil war.
	And either way, regardless who wins, they want to have a civil war.
	So, the majority, including some who aren't voting for Trump, say that Trump's words in the days since the assassination attempt have been more unifying than they have been divisive.
	They've mellowed out, as they say.
	And you can see that in the opening of the speech.
	His speech was the longest speech that they've ever had.
	I didn't see all of it. I was way past my bedtime anyway when I went to sleep.
	Pretty tired today. But he started to really ramble.
	But again, his demeanor was different.
	Trump is up by five points nationally now.
	Three points in the key battleground states.
	It's been 20 years since a Republican presidential candidate has won the national popular vote.
	And over 30 years since a Republican won by more than five.
	And so, again, how does that happen?
	Well, it happens because we have the Electoral College.
	And that's a good thing.
	That's a good thing. We don't want to have a straight-up national vote.
	Because you will have New York, LA, and Chicago picking the president.
	That's the only place where they will have the campaigns.
	It will be in the biggest cities.
	And you know what's going to happen then.
	What kind of candidates will get then?
	It's bad enough in the states.
	Always in the states.
	It's always the big cities in the state.
	Here in Tennessee, it would be Memphis and Nashville.
	And it's the rest of the state against these urban, liberal areas.
	Now it's going to perhaps swing the other way.
	And I say that because now they're talking, if they get rid of Biden at this point, now everything starts all over again.
	They put in somebody who's probably going to be an unknown quantity.
	There's not going to be much time to vet them.
	People are just going to be voting on appearances, of course, which is all we've done up to this point anyway.
	So, it's really going to be kind of unprecedented.
	Voters are going to be completely out of it.
	They're going to take... And again, you know, when you look at the primaries in both Republican and Democrat parties this last time, they didn't really run any primaries.
	They didn't have any debates.
	And the Democrat party was very active in terms of purging out any competition from any other candidates.
	RFK Jr. and what is the name of the black guy who's running?
	A real hardcore leftist Marxist who's actually doing pretty good in the polls.
	And then that other guy who ran for a short period of time, very, very wealthy family, they just pushed them out.
	Shut down primaries even in Florida, the DNC did there.
	And so they didn't even pretend that they wanted to have an election.
	They're always, oh, we've got to save democracy.
	Well, you know, one of the things that you do in a democracy is you have elections, isn't it?
	They didn't want to have any elections.
	So what's going to be done in this?
	It's going to be a mockery of democracy.
	They're going to have the party apparatchiks are going to choose who the candidates are going to be when they get rid of Biden.
	And we saw this with Hillary Clinton.
	We saw when she was running in 2016 against Bernie Sanders.
	Over and over again, you would see a situation where Bernie Sanders would beat her in the popular vote.
	And yet she would get more delegates because they had set up their system to have what they called superdelegates.
	These are party insiders that she could go schmooze independently, promise them that they're going to get a position somewhere or whatever.
	And so when the voters were voting in the primary, you know, they had a certain number of delegates that would be allocated based on the popular vote of the ordinary people.
	And then there was another club that you were not a member of, the superdelegates, and they would be able to just talk directly to Hillary Clinton and go wherever they wanted to go.
	So over and over again, you kept seeing Bernie Sanders winning a state, Hillary Clinton winning the delegates.
	And so they're going to do something like that.
	Now, in a nod to trying to pretend there's going to be a democratic process, What they're suggesting, and again, nothing is formal, but they have their spokespersons and the media that are talking about this stuff.
	And one of the things that they have said in terms of how this might operate, this reality TV show, who gets to even pick the candidates?
	Who gets to vote on the candidates? Well, they said the first round, we will not allow superdelegates to vote.
	It wasn't that special.
	Except that the people who are there as delegates anyway...
	I mean, these are people at the local level who are very active.
	Those are always the people that go to the conventions that are allowed to be delegates to the convention.
	And I remember when I was very young, We'd sit there, the family would sit there and watch what was going on in the presidential conventions.
	And they would actually have floor votes and floor fights over different things.
	It was not settled until they went to the convention.
	That was true of both parties. And so there was a lot of suspense and drama and all that kind of stuff.
	It was different from the way that it is now.
	And they're going to go back to that type of thing because it's going to get them a bigger audience.
	And then, again, who gets to pick these?
	It's going to be party insiders.
	Oh, well, we're not going to let the superdelegates have a vote in the first round.
	Well, guess who's going to get to pick who the candidates are?
	Like I've said all along, you know, election corruption begins with who gets on the ballot.
	Well, they're going to have Lala Harris and three or four other people James Carville was talking about letting Obama and Bill Clinton pick who the contestants are going to be.
	Well, I think my wife would be...
	Yeah, that's right.
	So... Unpartial.
	Completely unpartial.
	So, yeah, the thing is going to be a real joke, but they're going to ram this thing through.
	Fitting, isn't it? You know, you've got Biden now indicating that, well, yeah, I'm kind of, I've got COVID, maybe I should just drop out.
	What a bunch of nonsense.
	I'm a never COVID person.
	I never believed in any of this stuff.
	You know, just some people are never Trumpers.
	I was a Trumper.
	I was all for giving him a shot in 2016 against Hillary Clinton.
	Like Julian Science said, we know who Hillary Clinton is.
	We don't know who Trump is. We'll give him a shot.
	But I'm a never again Trumper.
	But I was a never COVID person.
	There's a lot of never-again COVID people out there.
	Good for them. Problem is that they support the guy who pushed this stuff through, kicked it off.
	But he's now using this excuse of COVID. Well, you know, if my doctor tells me I've got to get out, I guess I'll have to do what he has to say.
	They're laying the foundation for this, and everybody's saying it's going to happen over the weekend, most likely on Sunday.
	But if we go back and we look at how everything was changed with this shooting last Sunday, how Trump handled it, registered voters, 26% are more likely to consider Trump.
	It was a huge change.
	After the assassination attempt, Trump has encouraged more unity, say 54% of the people.
	Who will fight a lot for people like you?
	Well, after that shooting, 37% of the people said Trump, 28% said Biden, 26% said Harris, and 26% said Vance.
	Yeah, they're going to fight for us, aren't they?
	It's a big club and you ain't in it, folks.
	Wake up! It's absolutely crazy.
	And then finally, J.D. Vance as a VP pick, when they look at Republican registered voters, that was very popular with 94%.
	51% were enthusiastic, 43% were satisfied, only 6%.
	We're dissatisfied or angry about the technocrat puppet that's been put in as Vice President, as I just told you.
	But MAGA is satisfied, even enthusiastically satisfied.
	So, the Democrats have got a big problem.
	And I had said at the very beginning that, and I stuck to it for a while, I said, I don't think that they're going to push Biden out.
	Gerald Slenty said, no, they're going to push him out and put in Newsom.
	So we'll see what happens with it.
	I think everything really changed with this shooting.
	Now he is self-isolating with COVID. You know, the perpetual excuse.
	How many times has he supposedly been vaccinated?
	So the problem is, is that he's grown weaker in political strength.
	And this is happening. We can see this because now it's become more and more obvious that Obama is coming out in the open.
	Pelosi is rumored to be in the background.
	And of course, we know that she's doing that because Adam Schiff, who she runs like a little, he's her minion.
	He publicly came out against Biden.
	And then Schumer publicly came out. They got a lot of the big hitters, you know, former president, former Speaker of the House, the current Senate leader, all these people pushing for Biden to leave. And then one of the president's close friends, which they are not reporting who this is, An anonymous source. But they tell us that he's a close friend of Biden.
	Says his choice is to be one of history's heroes or to be sure of the fact that there will never be a Biden presidential library.
	Think about it. The emphasis of that.
	You can be certain of the fact that you'll never have a presidential library.
	It's like these people see themselves as kings or pharaohs, and they build these elaborate monuments to themselves.
	It's disgusting what's going on with this.
	I mean, it was like a half a billion dollars for Obama's presidential library.
	But again, think about this.
	If there had been a successful assassination attempt against Trump, Think about what would happen.
	That would have been two days before the RNC Convention.
	No vice presidential candidate had been officially selected.
	Their only person that really had any delegates to speak of would be gone.
	The whole convention would have been thrown into total chaos.
	They've got time on the Democrat side to do this in a way that is not going to be total chaos.
	They're going to have more than two days to prepare for this.
	So Schumer tells Biden that it'd be best for him to end his candidacy.
	Schumer forcefully made the case that it would be better for Biden, better for the Democrat Party, better for the country if he were to bow out, said Jonathan Karl, while reporting at the convention in Milwaukee, the Republican convention.
	Obama is, a lot of people are telling, are saying that Obama is telling Democrats that Biden cannot win.
	And, you know, I was sent, for the love of the road, sent me Joel Gilbert's DVD documentary about how Michelle Obama was going to be put forward in 2024.
	He could be right. I don't know.
	It could be Newsom. It could be Michelle Obama.
	I'm just hoping that it's not Michelle Obama because I don't want to have to watch that documentary anymore.
	I can't stand watching Big Mike and all the rest of this stuff.
	And even though it's a critical documentary, I will watch it if she becomes a nominee.
	I want to see how Joel Gilbert, the data points that he was basing his predictions on.
	But I'm holding off on watching that unless and until that happens.
	My take on it that I said before, and I'm still leaning towards this, I think one of the reasons why Obama spearheaded this It's because he doesn't want to have to have Michelle Obama.
	She's about the same age as Lala Harris and the same DEI, what do they call it, the intersectional boxes, right?
	Black, female, that type of thing.
	So she doesn't want to have to try to fight Lala Harris in subsequent elections, whether or not she is there this time.
	And so we'll see if it happens this time.
	But I looked at it and I said, you know, Barack would come out against Biden because, as everybody has said, he's not going to finish the next four years.
	And isn't it interesting to see how that has changed?
	You know, George Stephanopoulos, who was White House Communications Director for Bill Clinton and I think Chief of Staff or something, he was highly placed in the Clinton White House, and he went directly to ABC News, and he's been like their head honcho.
	He's been like Walter Cronkite was to CBS News back in the day.
	And they called him on the carpet, supposedly came close to threatening to fire him or take him off the air because he made an off-the-cuff remark to somebody on the street that got put out on social media.
	They asked him, you know, what about Biden?
	I don't think he can finish four years.
	Well, that was a consensus with everybody, that he wasn't going to finish four years.
	So that would be Lala Harris in that position.
	And I also said at that time, I said, look at this.
	This is ABC News willing to get rid of their top guy because he said something negative about Biden.
	If you look at Joe Scarborough, Morning Joe and Mika Brzezinski, They were very, very close to Biden.
	They were supposedly, reportedly, his favorite news source.
	And so they took Scarborough off the air on Monday because they figured he was going to say something negative about Trump or whatever, and they didn't want to say anything about it, and they threatened to quit that's ever done again and that type of thing.
	But then when he got back on the air...
	Even Joe Scarborough was saying, well, you know, it might be best if Joe were to step aside.
	These are the people's favorite news people are now doing that.
	Everybody in the Democrat Party and now people in the media have switched.
	They switched from ABC defending him, MSNBC defending him, and Joe Scarborough defending him.
	They switched to coming after him.
	A good example of this is Van Jones.
	Listen to what he had to say publicly.
	A bullet couldn't stop Trump.
	A virus just stopped Biden.
	You've got the nominees of this party getting their butts kissed.
	Biden's getting his butt kicked by his own party.
	The Democrats are coming apart.
	The Republicans are coming together.
	Yeah, okay.
	So we've got to do something that's urgent.
	And then you've got Mark Halpern who says this.
	Carl, according to multiple Democratic sources, this is happening all of a sudden.
	Everyone said it would happen gradually and then all at once, and that's what's happening.
	Bankruptcy. President Biden has agreed to step down as a Democratic nominee.
	It will happen as early as this weekend.
	A speech has been drafted for him.
	He will continue on as president.
	It's his intention. He also will not, I'm told, endorse Vice President Harris as his successor.
	They're hoping that he will endorse an open process in which the convention will be open to Vice President Harris and a few other candidates in Chicago to pick the Democratic nominee for president.
	The belief is that Vice President Harris is already looking at potential running mates to go to Chicago with a full ticket.
	Oh no.
	Those people are horrible.
	On the first ballot, the regular delegates would be allowed to vote under this agreement that's being talked about amongst the president and high-level Democrat officials.
	Thank you.
	This decision was reached, I'm told, all of a sudden because of the high-level pressure from Nancy Pelosi, Barack Obama, and others, as well as the decision of many of the President Biden's top aides, that there was no path forward for him, that he would not be able to win this election, win the general election, and therefore he's stepping aside again as early as this weekend. So, well there you go, okay.
	Even his aides around him evidently have been bought off.
	You had the big donors say, well, we got $90 million to give you, but we're not going to depart with a penny of this.
	$90 million that we're going to give to the Democrats in general.
	And we're not going to give them a penny as long as Biden is there.
	A lot of financial pressure there, and I'm sure there's some backroom deals that are happening.
	Maybe some bars of gold are appearing in some closets in various places.
	Who knows what's going on with all this stuff?
	Isn't it amazing how this election cycle has gone?
	We're in the fourth turning, and things are going to go very rapidly.
	They're going to go very strange.
	They're going to make this stuff up as I go along.
	Rather than looking at Joel Gilbert's Michelle Obama 2024 documentary just yet, you might want to take a look at Wag the Dog because that's what this all reminds me of.
	As I said, it's a pageant, right?
	And in that, where they're making up stuff, and they've got these fantasy characters that people identify with.
	Oh, look, they just shot at this woman holding a baby, and it was all set up in a soundstage and everything.
	And then as some things start to peel back, or there's a counter-narrative, in other words, the other side makes up some story.
	And rather than disproving them, The other side will make up another story to trump them, so to speak, right?
	So, you know, we've got a captured GI. Old shoe.
	And we're going to bring him home.
	And then it's like everybody's throwing shoes up, tying shoes together and throwing them up to, you know, like a tie the yellow ribbon type of thing.
	And then they're going to bring him back.
	Then they discover that the guy that they actually use as a model is like a criminal or whatever.
	They have to pretend that his plane crashes.
	And it's just this constant...
	Narrative versus counter-narrative.
	And they're just making it up as they go along.
	And that's what's happening with this as well.
	We're in a fourth turning.
	And let me tell you, whoever wins this thing is going to change.
	It's going to continue. The next term of president, things are going to be moving very quickly in very strange ways.
	Multiple sources again. These are the points that he made.
	They plan to announce withdrawal from the nominations earlier this weekend, with Sunday being the most likely one.
	They're going to have Biden not resign the presidency, but stay in place.
	Biden would not endorse Harris.
	Then they would open the convention with Harris and about three others.
	Why would he stay in the presidency and why would he not endorse Harris?
	Because they know they're going to lose even bigger with Harris there.
	They've got to get rid of her somehow.
	But, you know, they can't just kick her to the curb, because she's the first black woman that's been vice president.
	So they've got to be gentle and edge her out.
	But if he resigned, she would be president.
	And that would be a big issue.
	And there's also issues in terms of Harris remaining, or Harris being president, in terms of the money that is tied up.
	He's got about $91 million in the Biden-Harris campaign fund.
	It's got her name on it.
	And if he drops out, it all becomes hers.
	So there's a couple of reasons why they don't want him to resign and why he will not endorse her.
	But they'll put her name in the hat, just to be polite.
	Superdelegates will not be allowed to vote on the first ballot.
	Again, only the Democrat apparatchiks who are there.
	And oh, by the way, in case you think that they're going to be independent, These are all people who are heavily involved with the Democrat Party and each of these state parties, and that's why they're there in the first place.
	And they've all got their political aspirations.
	Let me tell you, when you have these ballots at these conventions, there is no secret ballot.
	It's always been that way.
	Now, of course, they may change it, but I don't think it'll be that way.
	I think they want it open so they can tell.
	Sometimes you do a voice vote.
	Sometimes you do a show of hands.
	That's the way it always was at all the Republican and Democrat conventions when they would talk about the...
	We talked about the platform or even going back again to the 60s where they would have these conventions and people would vote.
	They would kind of caucus together and everybody knew who everybody was voting for.
	That's the way it was in the Libertarian Convention when I was there.
	There's no secret ballots.
	So there's going to be pressure for these Democrat wannabes.
	These apparatchiks to go along and to follow the wishes of these superdelegates.
	Biden's odds of getting the party nomination have now utterly collapsed, barely above those of Newsom, as Kamala is the lead.
	But they don't like that.
	Again, they've got their own designs as to what's happening.
	He is supposedly now self-isolating with COVID. What a joke.
	Obama has told allies in recent days that Biden's path to victory has greatly diminished, and he thinks the president needs to seriously consider the viability of his candidacy, according to multiple people who have been briefed on his thinking.
	Democrats are now running with a new slogan.
	Believe it or not, Make America Great Again.
	Listen to this. So yes, this November we're going to make America great again.
	I don't know.
	Is Trump going to sue them for a copyright infringement?
	Yeah, actually, I think he copyrighted that.
	I remember in 2016, I thought it was the most generic thing, and he filed a copyright on it.
	Chuck Schumer, Nancy Pelosi, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, all of them have reportedly told the president in private, and they have had their surrogates in public say this, suggesting that this is a coordinated effort.
	News about three separate conversations that happened last week all dropped on Wednesday.
	The gap between the discussions and the reports is likely attributable to a desire to first give Biden a chance to bail out gracefully before more pressure is added by using leaks to the media.
	But things have only gotten worse with him every time he speaks.
	For example, here he is.
	Talking in an interview, he wants to refer to the fact that he put a black man in to head the military, Lloyd Austin, Secretary of Defense.
	And he can't remember Lloyd Austin's name.
	And so, it's all about...
	It's all about treating people with dignity.
	And it's about making sure that, look, I mean, for example, look at the heat I'm getting.
	Because I named the Secretary of Defense, the black man.
	I named Ketanji Brown.
	I mean, because of the people I've named.
	Yeah, okay. Well, you know, that was his important qualification, wasn't it?
	Just like the important qualification for Richard Levine was the fact that he was a tranny.
	I mean, these are DEI hires, just like his Secret Service hire.
	And then, again, when he says, I've got COVID, and he says, I'm going to drop out if the doctors tell me to.
	That was the big sign, I think.
	If I had some medical condition, and this is the same interview I just showed you there with the Black Entertainment Network.
	He said, if I had some medical condition that emerged, if doctors came and said, you got this problem, that problem, and then he started to defend his ability to get the job done.
	But I think it's interesting that Lala Harris' husband, remember about a week or so ago?
	And we talked about it. I said, no, has he not been jabbed up, supposedly?
	It's not protecting him?
	He said that he had COVID. And so they're kind of laying this narrative there.
	I don't believe that anybody is sick.
	I think this is a narrative.
	As a matter of fact, Babylon Bee, pull up the picture there, Travis.
	New White House doctor sadly informs Biden that the only cure for COVID is euthanasia.
	There's Hillary Clinton in a doctor's coat with a stethoscope, sitting by the bed with Biden there in a hospital gown.
	And they say, Dr.
	Pillory Schmitton informed Biden that the only known cure for COVID is euthanasia.
	That's pretty close. That's pretty close.
	That was what your guy did, Babylon Bee, in 2020.
	It was euthanasia.
	Yeah. Except there really wasn't a good death, was it?
	When they killed people with ventilators, killed people with remdesivir, killed people with do-not-resuscitate orders.
	That's what they did. That's what they were paid to do by the Trump administration.
	And of course, Biden continued to do it.
	It was a bipartisan, uniparty attack on America.
	But I guess really the only cure for COVID is resignation.
	Resignation, maybe, for him.
	I'm so sorry to say this is totally fatal, said Dr.
	Pillory Schmitton.
	The only thing we have left to do is to keep the poor fellow comfortable and inject him with morphine until he just slips quietly into the sweet embrace of dropping out of the race.
	I mean, death.
	Is that? Yeah. Well, other people are pointing out the fact that even though Biden says he is COVID positive, he's not wearing a mask around anybody.
	And nobody's wearing a mask around him.
	Isn't that interesting?
	A maskless, COVID-positive Biden bears his naked face to the world.
	Yeah, I used to say that about not wearing a mask.
	What was it?
	Maskless, full facial nudity is what I used to call it.
	Because I don't think that if I had walked around nude, people would have been as offended as they were with me not wearing a mask.
	I had full facial nudity.
	That was really offensive.
	Even the mask mandates are finished, says Reason, with its once ubiquitous pandemic precaution.
	Well, you know, Reason used to kind of sign on to this stuff as well.
	They point out on his first days in office, Biden issued several executive orders requiring federal employees, federal contractors, travelers to wear masks to stop the spread of COVID-19.
	They were eventually shut down.
	This has caused no small amount of controversy among certain journalists, certain doctors, and the people who say that we are still in a pandemic.
	But let's understand, as I said before, Trump prepared the vaccine.
	And he paid the companies to make the vaccine.
	And he paid the hospitals to point at somebody and say, you got COVID. And they'd get $9,000.
	And if they put you on a ventilator, they get $39,000.
	I'm sorry, $13,000.
	They put you on a ventilator, you get $39,000.
	And then they give hospitals a 20% bonus if this person, if you pointed to that person first and said they've got COVID. This is why when Andy was talking about EMS, he said we bring people in who are having a heart attack.
	First thing they do is take them in and give them a PCR test.
	They don't give them CPR, they give them PCR. Right?
	Because it's about the money, it's not about keeping people alive.
	PCR was more important than CPR. And because it was all about the money.
	Trump bribed people.
	Biden blackmailed them.
	I'm going to take your money away if you don't do this.
	And I'm going to force you to do this with a mandate.
	That's the difference between the two guys.
	And it's not even really a difference between them.
	It's just that it was a tag team match and Trump handed it off to this other professional wrestler who does the next thing that was planned.
	Yeah, I'm a never-pandemic guy.
	If Biden really has COVID, writes one physician, why isn't he wearing a mask?
	Watch this video from just now in the presidential limo around Secret Service and military and aboard Air Force One.
	No mask, despite having symptomatic COVID, he said.
	Yeah, so we're told.
	He says the same guy who wanted even healthy kids to wear a mask.
	Another person writes, huh, so Biden is not wearing a mask.
	He either does not actually have COVID or he's putting the people around him at risk then, right?
	Why no masks, says another.
	This is Cheryl Atkinson, you know her, who is putting Biden and others at risk.
	Or do masks not work?
	The American Conservative says Biden struggles to ascend the stairs to Air Force One after testing positive for COVID in Vegas.
	No one on Biden's team, though, appears to be wearing a mask.
	So Reason says, wherever you land on this spectrum, and it is a spectrum, isn't it?
	That's the way they talk about some kind of a disease or something like that.
	It's a spectrum, right?
	Biden's willingness to walk around With COVID and without a mask is one more nail in the coffin of pandemic protocols and mandates.
	Well, don't pat yourself on the back just yet.
	This was always a fraud.
	And guess what?
	People may be done with this in this form.
	But there hasn't been any reform of any of this.
	of these all these issues in terms of the the massive powers that have been usurped or abdicated to the public health departments those are all there they're all there they'll come up with another variation in a way to use it it won't be covet it'll be something else they've made that very clear this stuff is not done it was always idiotic and hypocritical and we
	always knew that CDC's guidelines to see here here we have ABC News ABC News that you know loves Biden that threatened Stephanophilus ABC News is now covering for him.
	CDC's guidelines say that he doesn't have to wear masks, says ABC News.
	So I guess we're all still playing this Simon Says game, right?
	CDC says this.
	CDC says that. Now CDC says not that.
	There was one other thing that happened, and that was on July the 9th.
	And you had people who were talking about Biden's situation.
	And then right before the Trump rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, where the shooting was, There was a group of moderate Hill Democrats who held a tense Zoom call.
	And this would have been the number one story when I came back on Monday, what happened later, late that Friday, if there hadn't been the shooting.
	And so what happened was there was a lot of Democrats who had a Zoom call with the White House.
	And what everybody was saying was that Biden was even worse in that Zoom call than he was during the debate.
	He was rambling. He would start to answer something.
	Then he would lose his train of thought.
	Then he'd just say whatever and stop.
	And he was very confrontational, very angry with the people that were there as well.
	Rambling, dismissive of concerns, unable or unprepared to present a campaign strategy.
	And he had a particularly troubling exchange with Jason Crow, saying to him, tell me something you've never done with your bronze star like my son.
	So, again, this is about foreign policy, and Jason Crowe, who had received medals for his military service, they get into this argument about foreign policy.
	He said this is about an hour or so before the shooting in Butler, Pennsylvania.
	So this person said, I imagine 50 people on Zoom that were ready to come out publicly against him if that shooting had not happened.
	You can hear Biden chastising Jason Crow, who asked about the importance of national security to voters.
	Biden says, well, first of all, I think you're dead wrong on national security.
	The emotion at times garbling his words.
	You saw what happened recently in terms of the meeting we had with NATO. I put NATO together.
	Name me a foreign leader who thinks I'm not the most effective leader in the world on foreign policy.
	You see, this kind of... This narcissistic arrogance that is so typical of these politicians, especially the presidents.
	This is the type of thing that keeps Darth Vader Ginsburg in the Supreme Court until they carry her out feet first.
	This is the kind of thing that keeps Diane Frankenstein, who absolutely didn't know what was going on.
	But she was head of the committee and they couldn't get anything done because she didn't know what was going on.
	But she stayed there until they carried her out feet first.
	Why? Because it's all about them.
	This power stuff has gone to their head, and it does to all of them.
	So, name me a foreign leader who thinks I'm not the most effective leader in the world on foreign policy.
	Tell me. Tell me who the hell that is, he said.
	Tell me who put NATO back together.
	Tell me who enlarged NATO. Tell me who did the Pacific Basin.
	Tell me who did something that you've never done with your bronze star like my son.
	Wow. Wow.
	Sounds like the Biden I always knew.
	Except a bit garbled, probably, because of his age.
	But he goes on and says, I'm proud of your leadership, but guess what?
	What's happening? We've got Korea and Japan working together.
	Things are in chaos, and I'm bringing order to it.
	Find me a world leader who is an ally of ours who doesn't think I'm the most respected person they ever were.
	And then Crowe said, it's not breaking through, Mr.
	President. It's not breaking through to our voters.
	Well, you ought to talk about it, he said.
	On national security, nobody has been a better president than I've been.
	Name me one. Name me one.
	So I don't want to hear that crap, he said.
	And by the way, get off my lawn!
	He didn't say that.
	But you get the idea, right?
	I think that, you know, these, first of all, first thing he did with the sanctions, that kind of didn't work, did it?
	And while we're talking about money, that is the final question about Biden, and we'll move on to something else.
	The $91 million question, what happens to Biden's campaign money if he's not running?
	Yeah, is it going to be a golden parachute?
	What happens to his library?
	You know, that's the other thing about it as well.
	What has happened to all the libraries?
	There really isn't a purpose for libraries anymore because people don't really even bother with books.
	They read everything online. That's one of the reasons why you got all these drag queen story time hours, because the libraries are trying to come up with something to justify their continuing existence, since people aren't bothering with books anymore.
	So they come up with this kind of nonsense, the drag queen story time hour.
	I would imagine, though, a fitting tribute to Joe Biden, If most of his presidential library was drag queen storytime hour.
	I can't even think what else you would even bother to put in a Biden library.
	Biden's campaign reported to the Federal Election Commission last month that it had $91 million in the bank at the end of May.
	Less than the $116 million that Trump campaign told the FEC. Harris' name appears alongside Biden's on the campaign registration documents.
	You see, that's the issue. And that's what makes this different for most of these campaigns.
	As I was looking at this, I thought, well, you know, that might be one of the ways that they pay him to get out, legitimately.
	You can roll your campaign funds from one election to another one, whether you win or lose.
	And if you just decide that you're going to retire from politics, you just take whatever is in the campaign fund and keep it.
	The problem is, for the presidential race, they've got two people's names on there.
	So if Harris remains on the ticket, as either the presidential or vice presidential candidate, the new ticket would maintain access to all of the funds.
	This is one of the reasons why, along with, I think, Obama pushing Michelle.
	This is one of the reasons why she's in the crosshairs, so to speak.
	Can we still say that? Can we still say she's targeted?
	Can we still use these kinds of metaphors?
	Brad, I will. I don't care.
	If somebody's going to try to outlaw metaphors, I mean, I've already been kicked off of everything already anyway, so what?
	I don't care. Yeah, using these metaphors and, you know, I'll use the correct pronouns.
	Brad Smith, a law professor at Capital University and a Republican former FEC commissioner, said some legal interpretations might not sanction a Harris ticket taking control of the money if Biden were to drop out of the race before he's formally nominated by his party to appear on the ballot.
	And this is expected in the coming weeks.
	Under that argument, she's not officially the nominee, right?
	So it's not partly her money.
	He said federal regulators in the past have made legal arguments suggesting that such a transfer would be permitted.
	But he said Republican lawyers might file a legal complaint anyway.
	If Biden dropped out after he and Harris were the official nominees, Harris's legal claim on the money would be much clearer.
	But if he drops out Let's say Sunday.
	We're still, what, two or three weeks away from the convention?
	So he drops out this weekend.
	Well, then it gets pretty unclear as to whether or not she gets to keep that money.
	Biden would have the option of refunding contributions to donors.
	No, he's not going to do that.
	Who could then donate the money to the new campaign, but under a more likely scenario, Biden would take advantage of rules that allow unlimited transfers to the candidate's political party.
	In that case, the Democrat Party could spend the money supporting the party's new candidate.
	Well, either way, I guess what we could say is, Joe, bye.
	You're done. That appears to be what's going to happen.
	Looks like I got that wrong.
	We'll be right back. You're listening to The David Knight Show.
	Well, I just want to thank some of the people who have sent us contributions via mail.
	Let me read their names here real quickly.
	Martin T., Mark C., Scott and Samantha T., Margaret Mary T., Scott C., Aaron W., David and Joan F., David and Anne-Marie N., Stephanie K., David and Debra W., Stacy P., Miles O., and Judy E. Both of them are new.
	We've not received anything from them before, so that's good.
	I'm glad to know that we have some new supporters.
	Edwin and Cynthia B. and John R. Thank you, all of you.
	I just wanted to read a little bit of this because I thought it was kind of interesting.
	This is a listener, David, who said, Guard Goldsmith was wonderful, taking place for us on the 4th of July.
	And then we had a replay of some interviews on Friday.
	He said, Guard Goldsmith was wonderful and enlightening.
	Come to find out, Guard lives only about 7 or 8 miles from me in Mason, New Hampshire.
	I'll have to make a point of seeing him someday.
	And then he commented on one of the interviews that we had on Friday, The Best Of.
	He said, But as the Apostle Paul wrote to so many, to be aware of the leaven, we believe that by faith and faith alone, all of our works are as filthy rags before God.
	It is Christ and His works that we rely and believe upon.
	Absolutely right. Yeah, I really did like his book.
	It's a great book. And I like what he's doing as well.
	It's good for us to go back and get these interviews because a lot of times people miss the interviews.
	And we do have some new listeners, so it was good to go back and recap those as well.
	Let's talk, well, before we go back to the news here, a couple of comments on RumbleDG8 said, why wasn't Julie Green at the RNC? Maybe she didn't know what was happening.
	I don't know. I just completely missed that.
	I don't know. Yeah, they could have had her up there.
	She would not have been any more, I guess, of a discredit than the person who's praying to the God or something.
	Same kind of stuff, actually.
	But rock fan, Dustin Helm.
	Trump Vance equals trance.
	Which is exactly what the MAGA people are under.
	I agree. That is interesting.
	That is funny. You know, here's just my thoughts on this stuff.
	You know, when you look at how he moved himself in from the never-Trumper side Peter Thiel paves the way for him, you know, helps give some $15 million, introduces him to Trump and all the rest of the stuff.
	And he's got people like Tucker Carlson, but especially Don Jr.
	Don Jr. is putting himself in a position to kind of be the kingmaker.
	I've seen a couple of articles saying that he wants to have veto over anybody that gets into these cabinet positions, I guess.
	And so he's very politically active in all this stuff.
	I would not be surprised to see, of course, if Trump gets elected, and even if he doesn't get elected, I would expect that J.D. Vance would run again.
	And it would be kind of interesting to see a J.D. Vance, to see a Vance Trump instead of a Trump Vance, to put him at the top of the ticket and put Don Jr.
	at the bottom to kind of introduce him into politics.
	I would not be surprised to see that at all.
	I think what the Trumps are trying to do is to set up a kind of dynasty, like the Bushes did, like the Rockefellers did, other things like that.
	I wouldn't be surprised to see that at all.
	Let's talk a little bit more about the assassination.
	There's been a couple of things that have come out about it, but especially the encounter that was at the RNC between four senators and this woman who is the head of the Secret Service.
	A lot of these things we said from the very beginning.
	Okay, so there was a cop who went up the ladder, saw this guy, pointed the gun at him, he went down, and it's like...
	Was that it? That seemed to be where it stopped, but now it's come out that actually these cops radioed on the tactical channel that everybody was on.
	Everybody's on this one blanket channel, and yet nothing was done.
	Evidence continues to mount that Saturday's shooting was allowed to happen, despite ample warning from bystanders, from the local police department, and even from the shooter's parents.
	Three hours before the shooting, security caught him with a rangefinder, let him go.
	Forty minutes before the shooting, law enforcement circulated a picture of him crawling around on the ground.
	Local police department notified the Secret Service that they had inadequate resources to monitor the building used by Crooks.
	Parents of Thomas Crooks called law enforcement before the attempt to warn them that their son was missing and they were worried about him.
	Now, that's one thing that I think, you know, they would not take any immediate action on.
	Local law enforcement observed him leaving the area, returning three times, during which they took two pictures of him and reported the suspicious activity.
	Again, 10 minutes, 20 minutes, 30 minutes, 40 minutes, three hours ahead of time.
	You know, all these different things.
	A Secret Service agent in charge of security for the event was on the phone with local and state police about the threat when the shooting took place.
	Crowds were shouting at the police to do something for several minutes.
	We've seen all of this. They're just putting it all together.
	After Crooks was positioned on the roof, one cop boosted another cop up to the roofline, only for Crooks to point the weapon at him.
	At that point, the boosted cop fell.
	And then both of them radioed the threat on the blanket tactical channel.
	Everybody who was on the tactical channel heard it, according to the Butler Township manager.
	He said the boosting officer and the officer that fell were both on the radio indicating that there was an individual on the roof that did, in fact, have a weapon.
	There is a blanket tactical channel being used.
	Everyone who was on that tactical channel heard it.
	This finger pointing has big issues as well.
	When you look at the fact that you've got the township manager weighing in on this, it's not just about who gets egg on their face.
	It's about who gets a lawsuit.
	You know, we had, Trump said that I think $6 million had been raised for the retired firefighter, fire chief who died shielding his family.
	And then there's two other people seriously wounded.
	So he's got a, they put up a GoFundMe for them that raised $6 million.
	But that doesn't mean that they won't sue a police department for negligence or sue the federal government for negligence.
	So, you know, the finger-pointing is about more than just reputation and egg on your face.
	But nevertheless, the Secret Service's DEI pick, Cheadle, will not resign, despite agents knowing of the threat before Trump took the stage.
	And that's what the senators have focused on.
	You've got all this information, you know, hours, or at least, you know, 10 minutes, 20 minutes, 30 minutes, 40 minutes, hours, maybe.
	All this stuff, there's something suspicious, and you're going to let Trump go on the stage anyway.
	So, this is, she doubled down on this.
	She put out a statement.
	This is her statement. She said, continuity of operations is paramount during a critical incident period.
	And U.S. Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheadle has no intentions to step down.
	Continuity of operations.
	Yeah, continuity of government.
	Oh, we've got to keep that going, right?
	Got to keep me in position.
	She deeply respects members of Congress and is fiercely committed to transparency and leading the Secret Service through the internal investigation and strengthening the agency through lessons learned and these important internal and external reviews.
	But the Senators aren't having any of that.
	Senator John Barrasso of Wyoming, Republican, revealed a lot of details.
	And he conducted a briefing for all 100 Senators via telephone.
	And he also included Cheadle and the FBI Director Christopher Wray in that.
	And then he posted on XML. And he said this is a 100% cover-you're-behind briefing.
	He was identified as being suspicious an hour before the shooting.
	He had a rangefinder, a backpack.
	The Secret Service lost sight of him.
	No one has taken responsibility.
	No one has been held responsible, he says.
	Somebody has died.
	The president was almost killed.
	The head of the Secret Service needs to go, he says.
	Well, and then at the RNC, we had that same senator along with Marsha Blackburn.
	And Cheadle was there at the RNC, and they confound her.
	They got a situation. They got four U.S. senators chasing the Secret Service director around the RNC floor.
	This is what it sounded like.
	This is exactly what we were doing today.
	This was an assassination attempt.
	You owe the people answer.
	You owe President Trump.
	And the woman's voice that you hear there, that's Senator Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee.
	And there she is, running away, running up the escalator and the stairs.
	Blackburn, John Barrasso of Wyoming, James Linkford of Oklahoma, Kevin Kramer of North Dakota, all of them called on her to give the American people answers after the attempt.
	Why would anyone allow the president to go on stage when you know that you've got a potential threat, she said, Blackburn said to Cheadle.
	I'm going to answer your question, said Cheadle, at the appropriate forum.
	And then they, see, as you saw, she's walking away very quickly from them.
	Blackburn said, you can keep running, but you can't hide from us.
	It's appalling that the Secret Service Director refused to answer our questions, Blackburn said in a written statement following the interaction.
	This is one of the greatest security failures in the history of the agency.
	She can run, but she can't hide. She is a failed leader and she needs to immediately step down from her position.
	House Oversight and Accountability Chairman James Comer subpoenaed the Secret Service leader Wednesday.
	They're going to have some show hearings next week about this.
	And Mike Johnson is going to get involved in this as well.
	He wants his moment in the spotlight.
	I'm prepared this morning to call on Biden to fire Director Cheadle.
	We have to have...
	Neither she nor Ray gave satisfactory answers to some very important questions.
	But of course, nothing would ever cause Ray to be fired.
	And not only is she not giving any answers to the questions, but they have pushed back significantly because people are laughing at their DEI hires in the field.
	You know, I played this for you yesterday.
	After Secret Service Barbie, a highly trained member of the Secret Service, removes her weapon from its holster for the very first time in her career.
	She struggles to return her pea shooter as though it's her first day on the job.
	Fortuitously, her skills from a previous life as an amateur actress come into play, allowing her to convince you to admit the swift draw of the weapon and soothe the pain.
	Oh, you get the idea, right?
	She pulls it out and she tries several times to get in the holster.
	She finally just gives up and just holds it in her hand and looks around.
	From behind her sunglasses.
	Well, you know, forget about the Simpsons predicting stuff.
	Clint Eastwood's Dirty Harry predicted this kind of nonsense way back.
	Who might you be? Oh, this is Ms.
	Grave, the mayor's staff. She's here to monitor these examinations.
	This is Inspector Callahan.
	Oh yes, I know something of Inspector Callahan.
	And I'd like to tell you, Inspector, it is the mayor's intention that this department be brought more into line with the mainstream of 20th century thought.
	Just how does he figure to do that, Mrs.
	Gray? Well, for one thing, his honor intends to broaden the areas of participation for women in the police force.
	That sounds very stylish.
	I think he also said something about winnowing the Neanderthals out of the department.
	How long have you been on the force?
	Nine years. What department?
	Mainly personnel and records.
	Personnel and records, huh?
	Yes, sir. Harry?
	Hmm? Have you any questions for the applicant?
	Questions? How fast do you run the hundred?
	Come on, Callahan.
	You know how this board functions. All right, I'm sorry.
	You know that if you make inspector under the mayor's new guidelines, that you might just be out riding in a police car?
	Yes, sir. That's what I'm hoping for.
	Well, Officer Moore, maybe you'll tell us all here about your most important felony arrest.
	I've never made a felony arrest.
	Well, maybe you'll tell us about your best misdemeanor arrest then.
	I've never made a misdemeanor arrest either.
	Then what the hell gives you the right to become an inspector when there's men that have been out there on the street for 10 or 15 years?
	The woman's place is in the home.
	Is that what you're trying to say?
	What do you think this is? Some kind of encounter group?
	I want to know what Officer Moore is going to do when somebody points a gun at her and says, hit the dick!
	You're just deliberately trying to fail this candidate, aren't you, Callahan?
	Well, if she fails out there, she gets her ass blown off.
	It's my ass.
	And, um, my hard luck.
	Except that out there you're going to have a partner.
	If you get blown away, he gets blown away with you.
	And that's a hell of a price to pay for being stylish.
	Yeah, you know, so the Secret Service is out there.
	They don't like the fact that people are making fun of the Secret Service Barbie, who appears a great deal physically proportioned to this woman here.
	The U.S. Secret Service is appalled that people are criticizing their decision to place short, incompetent women.
	Trump's security details, says Zero Hedge.
	In a statement to NBC News, a Secret Service spokesperson lashed out, said, we quote, we stand united against any attempt to discredit our personnel and their valuable contributions to our mission and are appalled by the disparaging and disgusting comments against any of our personnel. They could add, I think, so we want you to just holster those attacks.
	It is an insult to women of our agency to imply that they are unqualified based on gender or based on their inability to be able to reholster their weapon.
	Such baseless assertions undermine the professionalism, the dedication and the expertise of our workforce that we saw so amply displayed last Saturday. So, yeah.
	This time around, I think Clint Eastwood had a much better take on what was going to happen than the Simpsons did.
	But look, when we look at this, let's not get caught up in the details of this and the conspiracies of this, as I said before.
	Understand that you look at how this is going to be used.
	That's the key thing. We'll never know exactly what happened, just like we don't know what happened with 9-11.
	What we know with 9-11 is what did not happen.
	What did not happen was what they told us.
	And most likely, the official story that we get from this shooting is going to be what did not happen.
	They always lie to us.
	They always have another agenda.
	But the key thing that you have to focus on is watch out for the types of things that they did in the wake of 9-11.
	Look out for the Model State Health Emergency Powers Act.
	Look out for the types of things.
	Look out for the Patriot Act types of things.
	We know that they always, always use these things.
	Whether it's new legislation like that or whether it's going to be, if Trump gets elected, some new gun control initiative that he starts to put through.
	Either way, it'll be something like that.
	We're going to take a quick break and we'll be right back.
	We're going to take a quick break.
	So,
	so,
	you you Well, we have Fandango founder J. Michael Klein is dead after jumping from a New York City hotel.
	He was the founder of the movie ticketing app Fandango.
	He died after leaping from a building in New York City.
	He jumped from the 20th floor, landed on the third floor courtyard early Tuesday morning, left behind a suicide note.
	So sorry, I can't explain the pain of effing up this much.
	I love you all, he said.
	You look at it, it's like, I look at people who, you know, we had all the stories about people jumping out of windows with the 1929 stock market crash.
	Not necessarily true.
	There was somebody who jumped out of a window and it was reported by Winston Churchill as he was a newspaper correspondent.
	He witnessed it. And there was definitely an uptick in suicides because of the Great Depression.
	But that was just the beginning of the Great Depression.
	Things got much worse than the initial drop in 1929.
	But nevertheless, a lot of the suicide rates as the Depression went on, suicide rates went up significantly.
	We saw suicide rates going up significantly during the lockdown as people's businesses were being crushed by Trump's paying states to set up these orders to lock businesses down.
	The non-essential businesses.
	Well, these businesses were essential to the people who had invested their sweat and their capital into these things.
	And maybe they were too essential in their minds.
	When we look at this, how do we get to a point where, and this is a guy who married his wife back in 1995.
	They've been married for 29 years.
	And they've got six children.
	Regardless of if he lost all of his money.
	This is a guy who had started a couple of different enterprises.
	He'd been hailed as a very successful entrepreneur.
	He was embarrassed about his failure.
	What was the issue with it?
	You see, if we make money and the love of money, the focus of our life, if we define ourselves by what we do for a living, if we define ourselves by how much money we've got in the bank, it can lead us to something like this.
	He had a lot to live for. He had a marriage.
	Again, he says, I love you all.
	He's not doing anything because of the failed marriage.
	And I mention this because when I was looking at J.D. Vance after he was picked, remember I talked about that one quote he said.
	And it was just a couple of years ago.
	He started talking about different things.
	I haven't really done anything in life.
	I'm not a senator.
	I'm not CEO of some world-changing NGO or something like that.
	I looked at that and it's like, this guy's got three kids.
	He's got a marriage, which is unusual in Washington for people to have a good marriage.
	Why is he so down on this?
	Why can't he be thankful and grateful for what he has?
	You see, that's one of the key things.
	Having gratitude is what gets people through life having that perspective for what you have.
	We've had a situation similar to this.
	We had a lot of early success and then lost the business when we sold it.
	But, you know, it actually turned out to be the best time in our life because we turned to God and we saw God providing things just in time.
	Best time, Karen and I would both say that, the best time in our life.
	And my sons were there.
	They saw what was happening as well.
	What a blessing that was.
	And yet we look at, on the political side, there was a meeting, again, talking about what they were going to do with Biden 10 days ago, July 9th.
	And it's kind of interesting because...
	It shows how much things have changed in the last 10 days, really over the last less than a week.
	These were people who got together at the headquarters of the DNC because they wanted to reduce leaks, and yet they deliberately leaked something that was said in this particular meeting.
	They had said, despite the precautions, some lawmakers leaked some of the contents to the media, characterizing the huddle as a funeral with a significant amount of frustration and sadness.
	One such leaked remark allegedly came from a pregnant House Democrat who, during the meeting, allegedly openly contemplated aborting her unborn child.
	Without providing the name of the lawmaker, the source said that she noted that she is over 40 and could face complications and appeared to allude that she might not be able to obtain an abortion later in pregnancy should Trump be elected.
	At one point, one House Democrat, whose name is being withheld at the Congresswoman's request, announced to the caucus that she was pregnant.
	And she said that being pregnant and over the age of 40 means that she's at a higher risk of health complications.
	She noted she currently lives in a state where she has the power to make certain choices about her health and her child.
	But according to three members who relayed the anecdote, she said that if Trump wins, she might not have that ability.
	One of the unnamed members who spoke about this called the pregnant lawmakers comment super powerful, she said.
	I think people are very moved by it, but I don't think it changes the overall dynamic within the Black Caucus.
	Probably people could figure out who this is with all these different clues.
	Anyway, the morning caucus meeting ultimately didn't do much to sway Democrats that Biden is actually the right choice.
	However, it was clear that Biden wasn't going to go anywhere.
	Now, again, that was 10 days ago, July the 9th.
	And we're going to ride the horse at this point, they said.
	But when we go back and look at this, right?
	So you got one guy who just jumped out of a window because his career was not working out for him.
	He was 64 years old.
	He had plenty of time to do something else.
	And then you have, this is a standard thing that is sold to pregnant women by Planned Parenthood and others.
	You know, one person might commit suicide because they are concerned about money and their career.
	Another person might commit murder because they're concerned about money and career.
	The position that we put money in to rule over us is absolutely amazing.
	And yet, look at this story out of Pakistan.
	You have a 29-year-old husband and the father of four children from ages 18 months to 10 years old.
	He was reportedly slaughtered in front of his wife and children when four Muslims cut through his home's roof in the early hours of the morning and entered.
	They broke the door of my brother's bedroom on the first floor of the house and then held him and his family hostage at gunpoint.
	They then opened fire on him, riddling his body with 16 bullets in the presence of his wife and minor children.
	Neighbor heard the gunshots from nearby home and rushed to the scene, brokenhearted, to discover the violent murder had unfolded.
	I was horrified to see his blood-soaked body lying on the floor while his wife and children were huddled in the corner, crying frenetically.
	He had reportedly filed a police report two months before against one of the assailants for allegedly firing shots in the area and harassing Christian women.
	The accused person had been arrested but was later released by the government.
	This is a pattern that we see in these countries.
	She said the authorities then turned on her brother and pressured him to stop speaking out on behalf of Christians.
	The Muslims were offended that a Christian had taken a stand against their criminal activity, she said, and by killing him in cold blood, they've shown that our lives do not matter.
	She said the family is fearful about survival in the future in light of his killing.
	She said the family's entire world has crumbled after this incident.
	And of course that always happens when a husband dies like that.
	And so, again, what is it that we get meaning for in our life?
	This story talks about how this is happening many times in Pakistan.
	Recently, a Catholic man was jailed after he accidentally stepped on pages of a Quran.
	He exited the car that he was riding in and inadvertently stepped on papers.
	That they said had come from the Quran.
	Again, a lot of times this stuff is set up, of course.
	A pastor survived an assassination attempt last year.
	There was also a horrific August the 16th assault last year, during which churches and Christians' homes were attacked by Muslim mobs over blasphemy allegations in the same area.
	And yet Pakistan is listed as the seventh most dangerous place for Christians.
	There's six places more that are more dangerous.
	So when we look at these people, what are they serving?
	What do they think is important?
	Pakistan's notorious blasphemy laws are often used to target minority groups.
	The Christians are disproportionately affected.
	What is it that gives meaning to your life?
	Well, these people have made that answer.
	This is a guy who did not kill a child for his material prosperity.
	As a matter of fact, he's pretty poor.
	He is somebody who is extremely poor.
	He doesn't have probably this entrepreneur who jumped out the window.
	Probably in just the stuff that's left around, he still would have had more money than this guy would have earned in his lifetime.
	He's only 29 years old, anyway.
	But he valued something else.
	And so, when we look at this, the reason I mention this is because we're going to come up to some hard times.
	And you have to stop and think about what is truly important to you, what your life is built on.
	Don't build it on politics. Take the steps that you need to take in order to protect yourself and your family.
	But don't put all your hope in this world.
	We're going to take a quick break, and when we come back, we're going to talk to Jack Lawson about the Civil Defense Manual and what you can do to protect yourself, because we may have some very dangerous times coming up.
	We'll be right back.
	♪♪
	the
	defending the American dream You're listening to The David Knight Show.
	Well, joining us now is Jack Lawson, who has put together these two volumes of Civil Defense Manual, which you can find at CivilDefenseManual.com, subtitled How to Prepare and to Protect Your Neighborhood from Disaster, Riot, and Civil Unrest.
	We might be at any time looking at any of that stuff.
	So we want to prepare for the worst case.
	It used to be people make fun of preppers no more.
	And he has amazing information in here.
	Again, you can find it at CivilDefenseManual.com.
	It's written by special ops soldiers and contributing author experts.
	And joining us now is Jack Lawson.
	Thank you for joining us. Good to talk to you again.
	Good to hear you again, David.
	Thanks for letting me on your show.
	Well, and it's a good time for you to come on because this last week we've had some really crazy violence that happened six days ago.
	What's your take on all of this shooting that happened up in Butler, Pennsylvania?
	Well, I'm like everybody.
	I've got my opinions.
	I'd like to give people a little bit of my background.
	I probably am a little more qualified than some people to speak about this.
	I was in the United States Air Force.
	I was an electronics person.
	I had a lot of advanced electronics training to the point to where I was a guidance specialist and I armed and disarmed the nuclear weapon on the missile I worked on.
	Then after that, the first thing you've got to do is go from...
	Arming nuclear weapons to jumping out of airplanes at 2 in the morning with 40 pounds of explosives over some country in Africa you can't spell the name of.
	I was in a Foreign Legion rapid response anti-terrorist unit and it was in a nasty war in Africa.
	I published four books and a number of essays.
	In addition to that, well, the bottom line, my website is The Civil Defense Manual is CivilDefenseManual.com.
	There's a lot of free information on there.
	People can get an overview of the book.
	I do not sell The Civil Defense Manual on Amazon.
	Going back to the assassination...
	Let me add, you know, you pointed out you've got some free chapters there.
	One of them on water, which is the key thing.
	And people can see the chapter on water.
	And that gives people a good idea of how in-depth and how practical your knowledge is.
	Then you have another one.
	About surviving nuclear fallout if you're not in the main blast area.
	Both of those are free. People can get a good idea of the quality of the book.
	And I've had a lot of people who have written me who got the book talking about how they thought it was worth ten times the price that they paid for it.
	And you have a lot of people besides your experience.
	You've got a lot of people who were Special Forces soldiers talking about things in their area of expertise as well.
	So, great resources.
	But again, I'm sorry I didn't mean to interrupt you there.
	You were just about to talk about what was happening.
	I'm not so egotistical that I think I know everything.
	When I don't know something, I bring guys like Jerry Emanuelson into it.
	Jerry Emanuelson is probably one of the foremost experts on electromagnetic pulse events.
	I have Navy, former Navy SEAL officer Matthew Bracken, a fantastic author, Enemies Foreign and Domestic, He's written a couple chapters for me.
	One on night fighting without all of these fancy optics.
	In other words, how to conduct defense of your home in the middle of the night without having the optics to be able to see at night.
	So I put those kind of people in.
	But going back to this assassination...
	I was never a sniper.
	I was our battalion marksman winner at one time, and I do know a lot about ballistics.
	I do know a lot about silenced weapons.
	I've used all of that stuff.
	We used it on raids on camps in neighboring countries that were harboring communist terrorists.
	Long and short of the thing is, It's difficult now to see whether it's incompetence with the government or deliberate action.
	It's hard to define the difference.
	The fact that this woman, the Secret Service agent, could not holster her weapon is absolutely beyond me.
	A true professional.
	Knows that just like he knows where his finger is.
	It's incredible.
	I sat on one of the largest police boards in the United States for seven years.
	And I've been involved with issues regarding gender.
	There are women out there that could literally kick any guy's butt.
	They can fly a helicopter into places that maybe a guy wouldn't go into.
	But generally speaking, that's a very small percentage, 1, 2, 3%.
	Women by biology are different in the aspect of most of them don't have the strength or stamina that a male shows.
	Ask any of the cops that i used to ride around with after they got to know you and knew it wasn't going to come back on them they will tell you they did not want to have a female partner case in point one of my friends was a lieutenant uh went to domestic dispute his 105 pound partner got punched out he's about six foot 200 pounds the guy that Went crazy on him at this domestic dispute,
	slammed him down against the foundation of the house, and ruptured three of his vertebrae.
	Just as that was happening, of course, a backup came around.
	They went in because they heard what they thought was going to be a violent situation to the woman in the house.
	So the point being this, and I knew good women that were very, and on the police force, that were very, very capable.
	It's just that the majority of them, guys don't want to be hooked up with them.
	They do not seem to have the ability to do the job.
	And I'm not talking down at women.
	Like I say, there's good ones out there.
	But the majority of them, they're lowering the standards to accept them into everything.
	When you see the...
	Commander of a Ranger Battalion qualification course carrying the pack of a woman, one of the first graduates of Ranger.
	What's that? You know, this whole thing is political, getting pushed to the point to where you're getting people who can't find their holster.
	Next thing, you won't be able to know where they're going at.
	Well, that's what DEI, I think the best explanation of that acronym was DIDN'T EARN IT, you know?
	And so, you know, we have it.
	And, you know, this used to be this is a narrative that was being sold by Hollywood and everything is being sold by media going back into the 70s, Bobby Riggs and Billie Jean King that, you know, anything you can do, I can do better, that type of thing.
	But it's not the case and we've had that proven to us over and over and over again by these trannies who want to compete in women's sports.
	These are guys who can't even qualify in male competition and they're wiping out all the competition on the female side.
	And this has happened over and over again in all these different sports.
	There is a real physical difference And they want to pretend that that doesn't exist there.
	And when you get into a combat situation like you're describing in that domestic dispute, you know, there isn't anybody there to, you know, this is, you're not talking about some kind of political agenda anymore.
	This is about people's lives.
	Yeah, a man is going to have a maternal instinct to save a woman.
	My son told me this.
	He's in combat in Iraq.
	And No women in the Marine Corps at that time.
	This is 2003, but he said...
	That they knew it was coming and they were just very...
	Guys didn't like the idea of it, not because they're guys, but because they don't want disruption of the function of the...
	Whether it's a company or like his scout sniper unit.
	They don't want the disruption of a woman in there.
	And I'm not going to go into all that, but going back to this thing with Trump...
	I just talked to a guy who was a security director for him, who's a friend of mine.
	I talk to him every couple weeks.
	And he said that, and I don't think this guy is that extremely religious, he said this was divine intervention.
	There's no two ways about it.
	And I told him, I said, my God, I said, you sound like you're going to church again.
	He said, what?
	I believe he is religious in a sense, but he said that's probably going to make Donald a little bit more reluctant to act off the cuff.
	That's a very serious thing.
	Outside of...
	Trump probably losing his hearing in that ear.
	You get a crack, a super honey crack of a bullet that close.
	I had a friend in Africa who lost all of his hearing in one ear just from a bullet coming within an inch of his ear.
	Really? Yeah.
	Well, there hasn't been any talk about that.
	That's kind of interesting. There hasn't been any talk about that.
	I think he said it was like a bee buzzing or something like that.
	It's more than a bee buzzing.
	I've had them snapping around my head.
	It's a definite thing, and they talk about you can hear the gun report after you hear the crack.
	Well, I'll just tell you this.
	In combat and this situation with Trump, everything is so fluid and there's so much confusion.
	In combat, people think it's like the movies that you can see where things are coming from.
	Everybody's totally confused.
	It is the best thing you do is try to take some cover and keep from getting yourself shot.
	But you can eventually locate where your shooter's coming from.
	But... I'm astounded that if he hadn't had...
	I can't remember whether Senator Ron Johnson had an immigration chart he'd given him, and Trump had...
	Trump, at that very moment, he turned his head about two inches to the left, is when that bullet would have gone right in his right eye, would have taken his brains out.
	But the long and short thing is, I think God had a hand in it.
	Whether it's going to be for the future of this country, or just Donald Trump living and being able to go on doing what he's doing, it just blows me away.
	People must realize at 1,000 yards, if you fire something like a.308, which is a heavier bullet than I believe this guy was firing, and it's got about roughly the same ballistic, you're looking at up to a second and three quarters, one and three quarters second before that bullet leaves the muzzle to where it hits the target.
	So you have to lead your target.
	In other words, if the gunman had his target, As Donald Trump's head, right square in the middle of his crosshairs, and he pulled the trigger, it would have probably been somewhere around a third to a half a second that Trump would have had to stay there for that bullet to impact the center of his face or center of his skull.
	And he didn't.
	So tell me, I don't believe this kid was the only shooter.
	During the JFK assassination, you had the famous Magruder film and you had a couple of photographs.
	Now everybody records everything on their phone.
	So I think you're going to start seeing a lot of information coming together.
	And the bottom line of it is I think it's going to show that there was somebody else there.
	There was another shooter.
	I believe there's a professional there.
	I think this kid was just a dumb patsy who was led along.
	Apparently very fanatical about his beliefs, but...
	So there's going to be things coming out.
	Yeah, I agree with you.
	And of course, I don't know if you saw or not, now Congressman Corey Mills, I think he's just put in in 2023, won election 2022.
	He was a former special forces guy, but he had...
	Something to do with security and his private consultant job.
	And so he was talking about all the different things that failed in terms of protecting the perimeter, identifying places where there was risk and anything.
	But I think the first thing I showed on Monday was that shot of those guys who were on the roof and how he seemed to take his eye off of the...
	Off of the spotter thing there and be kind of slow to respond.
	I think it's somebody else.
	That team that was there on the closest roof to Trump, I think it was somebody that was much further away, they said, like 450 yards.
	Oh my God, you mean they're on a sloped roof?
	That's very dangerous. Yeah, we talked about that as well, yeah.
	What a joke. The roof the counter snipers were on was about twice the slope as the one that kid was on.
	Yeah, yeah. But isn't it...
	I mean, do you find that interesting?
	The counter snipers seemed like they had them in their sights and didn't do anything until...
	They were told to stand out.
	This whole thing...
	You know, if people can't realize it, you know, if they think that government is there to do them service, then I think they've probably failed history class and they should go back to school.
	It's just... It's unbelievable that...
	There's another thing that just amazes me.
	There's a correspondent out there by the name of Michael Yon, who puts this on.
	He's a photographer, too.
	Former Special Forces. Yeah, I've interviewed Michael Yon.
	Yeah, why is there a CNN photographer right in front of Trump with his camera setting on his shutter speed on 1.8 thousandth of a second?
	That's about the highest you go to get high resolution, literally a slow motion progression of shots.
	And why was his camera set?
	This guy was an... An absolutely known photographer that would never have done that.
	He had his camera set at a shutter speed that if that bullet would have hit Trump, he would have had a picture literally for 50 shots of Trump's brain matter going out the back of his skull.
	You know, It just blows me away that I think there was a profession there, but Trump, I'd let go gambling with him.
	I mean, this guy is lucky.
	There are no two ways about it.
	Well, he's lucky with that. He wasn't lucky when he had casinos.
	He lost six of them. I don't know how good a business person he is.
	I think he probably is pretty darn good.
	He's got a lot of publicity out.
	But like he says, you know, it's not what you have, it's how you market it, you know.
	Oh, yeah. He's an excellent marketer, that's for sure.
	Well, you know, we look at what is coming up.
	Now, the Democrats this weekend, you know, last week they tried to take Trump out.
	This weekend they're trying to take Biden out.
	I mean, it is a chaotic situation.
	I think we're going to have a lot of chaos, a lot of unexpected stuff that's going to be happening between now and the election.
	And I think it's going to happen, regardless of who wins, there's going to be a lot of chaotic, unexpected things that are going to be happening in the next few years, because that's the time that we're in right now.
	And so, you know...
	David, I have to say something.
	You know, everybody talks about food.
	I have harped on that.
	People must store food.
	Well, I just also have to make people realize, if you're in a city, And your city water supply is providing the water to your house, then you bloody better be stocking up water for emergencies.
	And why I'm saying that is for this reason.
	I have been trying to get information out of the area I live in.
	I know everybody here to speak of that in a position of power.
	I can't get an answer out of them.
	My simple question is this.
	If you have a water system that's being pumped into every house and building, and they don't have the Chemicals to treat that water.
	Are they going to put the water out?
	I was told by a couple of people here, no, they won't.
	I said, why? You're going to let people in the Southwest die of thirst?
	Well, we can't put water into a system and violate federal, state, county, and city regulations.
	So if we're putting unsafe water out, we'd rather not put water out.
	I said, so you're going to let people die.
	Even if they could take the water and boil it themselves.
	As far as I can get the answer, water has now become as fragile and as a disruptible delivery system as food has become.
	Tell me who's got much more than seven days food in their house.
	Very, very few people.
	And we've had several reports of municipal water systems that have been hacked.
	And as we've seen over and over again, you know, the hacking doesn't have to be about the main thing even.
	If they got some ancillary system on the side, just like we saw Colonial Pipeline, if they hack their accounting system, they're gonna shut down even though they could still pump oil and they could still deliver oil.
	If they can't track the accounting stuff, they just shut it down.
	And as you're pointing out, you know, if they were to do something to mess with the machinery that's gonna be mixing in the chemicals to treat the water and things like that, or if they dump too much of it in or whatever, they just the accounting stuff, they just shut it down. And as you're pointing out, you know, if they were to do something to mess with the machinery that's going to be mixing in the the chemicals to to treat the water and things like that, or if they dump too much of it in or whatever, they just shut the whole thing down, and they won't let anybody have any water, not even to be able to filter it with a gravity feed filter. So that's the real issue.
	You know, people need to be able to get a gravity feed water filter, I guess, and identify some natural sources of water.
	Even if it's a pond that you could go to and put through your gravity feed water filter.
	Yeah, we no longer have water wells, open borehole water wells like Africa.
	They're all over the place. That's their primary water system, despite the fact they do have a city system in most parts of the city.
	But the point being this is that...
	I kind of got like a laugh out of people when I was talking to these people about it.
	One of them said, well, I don't think we've really even thought about that as a contingency.
	If that's what's going to go on, you better have water and you better have food stored.
	And we are going to have some tumultuous times.
	Power outages, I think, are coming within the next couple years.
	There are already all over the news about issues with coal-fired plants being shut down, nuclear plants can't handle it, outages here.
	And there, we've had them here, the last one we had.
	My wife went to the store and couldn't buy anything because they couldn't run a cash register.
	So what are you supposed to do, you know?
	There was a pile of stuff at the counter of the checkout because they basically finally locked the doors to the store.
	People were going in and they couldn't pay for itself.
	Well, and you're talking about the power supply.
	You've mentioned when you've been on before about how easy it would be not just to have an EMP, but it'd be a lot easier for somebody to just come across the border and take some pot shots at a power transformer and take it out.
	That'd be the simplest thing for them to do.
	But if we look at the long-term progression of this stuff, Artificial intelligence is taking so much power.
	It's going to be about 10% of the capacity if they don't do anything in just a couple of years.
	But, of course, they are doing something.
	They're decreasing our capacity.
	And so you've got all these artificial intelligence companies that say, well, we're going to make our own miniature nuclear reactors and get them online to power our stuff.
	They're going to have a private grid, I think.
	That's going to basically hoard the energy for themselves.
	I don't think they're going to share that stuff with anybody.
	They'll use it for their AI to spy on us and to control us, but they're not going to share any of that stuff with us.
	And I'm also concerned about what they're going to do in terms of if these guys are running this stuff on their own, are they going to be good neighbors and manage this stuff in a responsible and clean way, or are they just going to be sloppy and throw this stuff out there?
	I wouldn't bet on that one.
	You know, where we left, Jack, I just got to tell you this story.
	We used to live in Texas.
	We didn't realize it, but the last year that we were there, Elon Musk started setting up operations for both the Boring Company and for SpaceX.
	And it wasn't very far at all from where we lived.
	It was only a couple of miles.
	I just didn't know it was there.
	And he got into situations where...
	He's just dumping stuff into the river there.
	And they were outraged about it, and they started hitting him with fines, and he didn't care.
	I mean, he has so much money, he'd just pay the fines and keep doing it.
	And the same thing when it came to traffic control and other things like that.
	He'd just violate the rules and do that.
	So it's like, I look at these guys who have so much money.
	These are the guys that are going to start building nuclear power plants.
	How are they going to respond to any violations of any safety protocols?
	They won't pay the fine to keep doing what we're doing, you know?
	If you do get must attention, ask me if you come and fix my solar system.
	I've got one of their systems.
	They have the worst customer service.
	I wrote a letter to them three months ago.
	This time it's going to go certified.
	I'm just getting tired of this.
	It costs me a lot of money. I have a...
	Paid for solar system here, and they're supposed to be maintaining this thing, but big companies, they don't care.
	That's right. They don't really care.
	They don't. Going back to this young kid that was the shooter, I think people are probably aware by now that he was kicked out of the rifle club in his high school because he was what one guy termed as a comical shot.
	So, I mean, if you can't hit the broad side of a barn when you're right next to it, you know, how are you going to do it 170-some yards away?
	Yeah, he sounds like just the kind of patsy they'd be looking for.
	When they've got somebody else there as a second shooter, doesn't it?
	It's unfortunate.
	I feel sorry from what I read about the kid because I think he was bullied in high school until I learned to punch back.
	I was the same thing.
	It did happen to me.
	That's a horrible disfiguration of your mental thought process when this happens to people that are forming their...
	I look at these issues that happen.
	Huge purchases.
	Might have been two weeks earlier, but purchases of shorts on Trump's stock.
	The Secret Service.
	I'm going to go through the list.
	Well, you know, actually, I looked at that, the shorts on Trump's stock, like I said yesterday's program, I said, you know, we had that happening with 9-11, and it was even reported widely by mainstream media, and yet nothing really happened from it.
	Yeah, nothing does. Yeah, the people who did this came back with a response and said that the SEC filing was incorrect.
	Well, you know, people will be able to do their own investigation and see if it was the correct number.
	There's other ways to detect that besides just their paperwork.
	So it might be a clerical error, but even if it was for real, I don't expect anything to happen because nothing happened around 9-11.
	Nothing happened with the missing money at the Pentagon either, you know?
	No, you'd be better off watching paint dry on your wall.
	Time better spent.
	I'm just astounded.
	This whole thing will be discussed 75 years from now if we're still around on the planet, just as JFK assassination was.
	Anybody that has fired a weapon at a watermelon and watches the JFK assassination to where a shot came in from the back of his head and then one went in the front, can't deny that there wasn't another shooter.
	I have read that it was a guy from Marseille, France that was a professional hitman.
	He's dead now. Who knows?
	But when you've got the Secret Service, like you said earlier, they're not pulling Trump off the stage.
	They've got him standing down.
	Now they say the order was given a half hour before the shooting took place.
	But it just blows me away that anybody will buy the narrative of the government when you leave a building 170 yards away, an elevated position, totally unguarded.
	Blows me away. Who put the ladder against the building?
	I didn't do it.
	Somebody did, though. That's why I wanted to get you on, because we can look at all the details and everything, and to some extent, It doesn't matter because they're not going to do anything with it because it's going to be like 9-11.
	It'll be like the JFK assassination.
	They won't even release documents about it for decades.
	The JFK assassination, that was 61 years ago.
	Still not releasing anything about that.
	And so the key thing, I think, is for us to look at how they're going to respond to this.
	Are they going to do something like a Patriot Act like they did after 9-11?
	And it's also Also, for us to make our preparations, you know, we can't stop them from introducing a Patriot Act.
	We can complain about it. But it's really about our own preparation.
	And one of the things I like to try to explain to people is that we've got to focus on our own life, preparing for ourselves, because we really don't have any control over what's going to be done in Washington.
	You just hit the nail on the head.
	When I talk about that Patriot Act, my...
	Son was on a Marine Corps amphibious ship sailing around the middle of the Indian Ocean waiting to go into a rock and he is very intelligent and he was reading about what he could read about the Patriot Act and I ended up talking to him on the phone and I was all flag-waving and all this stuff.
	I was proud of my son who was in the Marines and whatnot, but I knew there was a war coming because of people I know in the ABC agencies and whatnot.
	He said, Dad, the Patriot Act.
	I said, well, Jason, I think that's good.
	He said, it's destroyed the Constitution, Dad.
	That was his words right there.
	That's right. And it's true.
	That's right. But going back to this stuff, long-distance shooting, you usually have a windage flag.
	I don't know whether this is procedure, but they had one directly behind Trump.
	That's a little bit odd.
	That's supposed to be a protocol that they don't have anything that gives windage elevation because if the wind's blowing from the right, you have to point your weapon into the wind.
	In other words, you have to lead the target.
	Very complex, but they had a flag blowing, a big flag blowing there.
	I don't know, maybe... The shooter's parents calling the police two hours before.
	Good God! I mean, you know, from a kid that got kicked out of the rifle club because of inappropriate comments about guns and the fact that he couldn't hit anything.
	How'd this guy wander across the field and wander around for 30 minutes?
	This absolutely blows me away that there's any competence in the Secret Service on the ground over this type of thing.
	I don't know.
	I know one thing. These people that are in control of things right now, and I'm not talking about the Bidens, But the leftist control of things, they're not going to give up very easily.
	No, no. They're not going to let go of power.
	Oh yeah, and you look at the long-term plans of this stuff, I mean the way that they set these dates up for the conventions versus the debates and everything.
	This next thing that's going to happen after they get Biden out, They're just going to be making this stuff up as they go along, you know?
	And we've seen that this last time because of the lawfare and other things like that.
	They didn't have any primaries, any debates on either side.
	We have a true selection here.
	And so we're in a real strange situation.
	You think there's going to be another attempt on...
	Oh, I'm not saying that.
	I just think that when you look at what's going to happen in terms of they're going to shut down, they didn't even really pretend to have a primary for Biden or even really for Trump.
	They didn't want to participate in any debates, but they're just shutting down.
	They're going to shut down their convention system and they're going to just make this stuff up.
	On the spur of the moment, how they're going to pick the person to replace Biden.
	And so we're going to see a lot of crazy.
	These people have been planning this stuff for a long time.
	And again, it goes back to 9-11.
	You look at 9-11. Two months before 9-11, they had their dark winter germ game simulation.
	They did it for 20 years.
	And that was really the other shoe to drop in 2020 when they ran that stuff through.
	They practiced what they were going to do.
	And those two things are really connected.
	You talk about the Patriot Act and shutting down our Constitution, all the rest of this stuff.
	They had practiced taking it to the next step even before 9-11.
	They were all tied together.
	Yeah, at some point this is going to have to stop.
	I'm hoping that Trump gets in and does what he said he's going to do, and that's get rid of three-fourths of these federal bureaucrats.
	This thing's totally out of control.
	When you've got billions of dollars going into churches where they don't even have to pass the offering tray around anymore, there's something wrong when that money is coming from American taxpayers.
	And God only knows how they...
	It goes by slow camel through Turkey or someplace, but eventually comes back into a church's coffers for bringing illegals in.
	I mean, what is this?
	This is out of control.
	When you've got so much money that you don't miss $10 billion here and another $10 billion there, I mean, why not fix Americans' teeth?
	What happened to the great Obamacare?
	What about vision?
	I saw a very pretty lady the other day with a tooth missing.
	And she was very conscious about it.
	Broke it, I think. But it costs thousands of dollars to get a tooth in.
	Most people don't have any dental care for this disease.
	That type of thing.
	And what happened to the great Obamacare that was going to take care of everybody?
	I don't see any of that.
	Yeah. Has it changed?
	Or am I living under a rock or what?
	Well, you know, Trump had a great plan for replacing Obamacare that somebody had written, but he didn't really talk about it when he was running in 2016, and it completely got purged off of his website.
	As soon as he got elected. So, you know, they have these different issues.
	Here's what's going to happen.
	There's going to be, you know, Elon Musk is going to make a lot of money off of this stuff because otherwise he's not altruistic.
	He's not investing $180 million in this election because he's patriotic or something.
	He's gonna get something out of it.
	He became the world's richest man because he knows how to deal with all these governments, not just the US government, but the Chinese government.
	And so the real issue is going to be this competition behind the scenes.
	You've got different groups of people buying different groups of politicians, and that's not upfront.
	I mean, we can look at some of these financial connections and their connections with DARPA and the military industrial complex and kind of get an idea as to who's behind which candidate, but that's really what's going to happen.
	I mean, these people are running this so-called election from the rear, and like HL Mencken said, it's an advanced auction of stolen goods.
	We've got so much money that's being dumped into the elections now because Washington is so corrupt.
	I mean, just look at Menendez, you know, and his gold bars.
	I talked about that last week when he got convicted.
	He's typical of what happens in Washington.
	He's unusual in the sense that he was so sloppy about it that he got caught.
	Yep. It's just what bothers me more than anything is the progressive...
	Secrecy to government.
	Everything is classified.
	Everything is not for the people's eyes.
	You know, maybe we really haven't had a constitution since 1830 when the bankers got their fingers into things.
	I believe we had a lot of freedoms.
	I know we've had because I've been to other countries.
	In a lot of places in the world.
	However, I also have been to countries relatively recently that I believe People there have more freedom than we've got here.
	I think people are losing a perspective of what we can and can't do.
	You're starting to see some of it when you get people writing memes that are getting thrown in jail.
	That's very obvious.
	That's a warning to everybody.
	I don't know. Maybe you have somebody break down your door there and arrest David Knight for speaking his mind while you're on...
	Camera. I don't know.
	I might have the same thing happen.
	Who knows? We've been kicked off of pretty much everything as it is.
	And now you've got YouTube. This last week has escalated their attacks against gun channels coming after Hickok 45.
	But basically all of them.
	He's got a big channel, and so he's talking about how they're going to shut that stuff down.
	We have these technocrats, and I think what's...
	Difficult for people is they don't really have a handle on what these technocrats want.
	They try to put them into, well, are they Republicans or are they Democrats?
	Are they communists or are they populists or what?
	No, they're none of that. They're technocrats, and it's a very different thing, and they've got a different objective about this kind of stuff.
	but they really have seized the levers of control over our speech and they're in the process of seizing the levers of control over government with the massive amounts of money that they have.
	It truly is amazing. Had you seen that about YouTube and what they're doing in terms of shutting down all gun channels essentially on YouTube? You know, I really don't care what they do as far as that goes.
	I don't see the gun as the absolute solution to everything.
	However, I do think we're going to have to see force of arms in this country to some degree to rectify what we have.
	Whether that's going to happen or not, I don't know.
	But it's a necessity.
	You know, until we get to a Star Trek existence, using a firearm, which is the most efficient means of defense, for defense, is going to be a necessity.
	I measure everybody and everything on whether they believe In my individual liberties.
	If they don't believe, if they start encroaching on them, I don't care what they call themselves, communist or capitalist or Republican or Democrat, they lose favor with me.
	They've got to believe in the individual right thing.
	That's the key to everything.
	Oh, yeah. Yeah. Hey, you know, I thought it was interesting.
	I made the comment, you know, when we talk about the failures there in Butler, Pennsylvania.
	I said, just think about the fact that for several minutes, you've got all the people saying, there's a guy up there on the roof, and he's got a rifle, and everybody's pointing at it, and you can't get the police to do anything.
	I said, here's a situation where we've got police all over the place, and you can't get them to do anything.
	I said, you know how many times have we talked about the necessity of being able to protect yourself?
	Isn't that a great indication?
	They disarm everybody in this area, except for the police and the one criminal that's there, and the police, you can't get the police to do anything about that guy.
	Well, it's like the saying, the police are minutes away when seconds count, you know.
	Yeah, that's right. The bottom line.
	Whether they're in your presence or not, if you can't defend against a deadly threat, you know, then you've lost everything.
	If you have a society. I had a guy tell me about a 90-year-old woman who was assaulted by a guy in Romania.
	And the police came and they arrested him and they arrested her.
	And the state's position, this is under communism, the state's position was the state's the only one that can dispense of violence.
	So they arrested the 90-year-old lady and...
	The assailant. Because everybody involved in a fight, whether you're defending yourself or what.
	And she was trying to keep her purse from getting snatched.
	And this is the lunacy of their systems.
	When you go to the what if, people think you've got a tinfoil hat on your head.
	I can just tell people this.
	I sat in the...
	In a well-known hotel in Africa, sipping tea.
	The day before, I was across the border and providing security for engineers who were blowing up two transmission lines for a high-voltage power line that went from one country to a country south of there.
	And I was sipping tea and reading the Daily Telegraph from the United Kingdom and was talking about the black anti-communist freedom fighters.
	And I thought to myself, That's interesting.
	There weren't any black guys with us.
	We're all white.
	So, you know, they created this.
	All of a sudden, this organization that was fictional came to life, and they had funded it, and they actually became to be.
	Of course, you can organize a...
	A army in Africa on your Social Security benefits.
	You know, it doesn't take much, you know.
	Wow. Well, you know, one of the takeaways, I think, when we look at this situation, and Congressman Cory Mills has talked a lot about this kind of stuff, and, you know, you would normally do this and normally do that.
	It's very interesting to hear it from his perspective in terms of how they're going to secure the perimeter, how they identify the risks and things like that.
	But that's essentially what you're doing with your book.
	You're doing that for people who are not experts.
	You've got your expert instructions there.
	You're talking about, well, how would you secure things around your home?
	What would you look for?
	I mean, we look at this and it's like, okay, obviously you're going to put somebody there on the roof or you're going to have that cordoned off or something like that.
	But then there's a lot of other things that are not so obvious.
	And how do you execute these things?
	What do you look for? How do you plan for this?
	And how do you execute it?
	That's really what you're trying to explain to people in order to protect their home.
	Not to protect a president or somebody like that, but just to protect your home.
	The common sense types of things and real practical examples of how to be able to do it on your own, right?
	Yeah, well, my neighborhood group should have been providing security for Trump because we do a better job.
	I mean, we literally have that type of thing.
	People on roofs, courting off areas, and it's a cooperative effort.
	And I tell people how to do this from a military standpoint in non-military terms, which is important because you get into a lot of People that are telling you how to protect this or that, you'd think they're talking a bunch of recruits in basic training that have been through basic training.
	I have some idea. It has to be in layman terms.
	And I've got the A to Z in there.
	People get involved Go to CivilDefenseManual.com and look at what is included in this book.
	They'll be astounded because it virtually gives the A to Z of not only how to prepare, but how to survive if you follow what's going on in the book.
	Yeah. And a key part of that is talking about how to organize things within your community.
	Because... You know, you have to be, there's issues in terms of interpersonal relationships that you address.
	There's also issues in terms of how this is going to appear to the government as something that they need to shut down or whatever.
	So you have to be wise about how you approach other individuals.
	You have to be wise about what you all do in terms of not drawing attention to yourself and, you know, getting a crazy FBI coming after you, right?
	Well, doing this is a daunting task, organizing your neighborhood for a defense.
	Getting together with your neighbors, learning who's who, learning how to put this together is a daunting task.
	There are a lot of people in the last couple decades that think they're conservatives, and they're not.
	They're not.
	When it comes to violence, it's like there's gotten to be a feminization process Of American males.
	And there are people in your neighborhood, I guarantee you, who are not that way that will get involved with the thing.
	Yeah, it's low-key.
	And it's low-key until the violence escalates and it becomes more overtly apparent.
	And it has to be.
	That's part of your deterrent, is a visual deterrent to people that are looking to come into your neighborhood and kick your door down.
	Now, whatever degree you get this organized is far superior than being caught literally with your pants down and not being able to defend as a group.
	People can't defend individually.
	They think they can, but they're not going to be able to.
	You've got to sleep sometime.
	You need to understand that if one person has got 20 people coming after them, that's a dangerous situation.
	So you keep those people out of your neighborhood, and you deal with those people through simple, simple military tactics.
	The biggest one is flanking.
	Flanking is to counter an enemy at a different angle than they're coming towards you, from either the sides or possibly the rear.
	And when you do this, a small number of people can defend a large area, and there's something called economy of force.
	And that's this, is that one person can defend against ten people.
	You do this. Always, always, the defense is the best over offense.
	Defense is invincible.
	Offense is a possibility.
	There's a famous Chinese military tactician that said that.
	Sun Tzu. You read his works, and I've got links to all this stuff.
	I have a lot of the information in there, the basic stuff that people need.
	But you have to have food and water.
	That's what I preach on.
	I don't preach tactics because there'd be a lot of skeletons with their finger around a trigger on a gun if they didn't have food or water.
	You know, you just aren't going to survive.
	So, critically important, food and water.
	Yeah, yeah. And that part of it is also important in terms of your community.
	Pooling resources like that, pooling skills as well.
	And when we see this happening, there is a gradual degradation of our infrastructure, of our power grid, of our food supply, and all these other things.
	It's getting very vulnerable, but the quality of it is getting undependable as well.
	You know, we look at wintertime and summertime, everybody's wondering if the power is going to be able to persist.
	Why?
	Because these guys have been chipping away at the power supply.
	It's just the same way they've been chipping away at our food supply.
	And so there's various things like that, measures that you can do by yourself, measures that you can also do with other people in your community.
	That's a key thing to think about that you cover in these books.
	Yeah, a group is far superior.
	There's something called strength in numbers.
	And if you don't have a group and you don't have numbers, you're in a very vulnerable situation.
	I think one of the big things people must learn is get to know your neighbors.
	No matter what happens, whether you can't get your group off the ground or not, you're going to know who you can deal with.
	And the funny thing is that when you bring this implausibility of food or water being short, you bring it up, people start thinking, and their mind is literally a magnet to anything they read about that.
	If people don't think power shortages are coming...
	Hey, you know, you better get out and look around a little more, because there's all kinds of information coming out about it.
	There's a poweroutage.com.
	It shows what's going on, and...
	Just look at what happened in Houston.
	Look at what just happened in Houston.
	Long-term power shortage that was there.
	I haven't covered it that much because we've had all this stuff about the shooting and politics this week.
	But different things like that happen all the time.
	David, this is far from over.
	Yeah. This is far from over.
	You're going to see shortages.
	You're going to see sporadic violence.
	Maybe people talk about a civil war.
	I don't see that as much.
	There's a possibility with certain issues happening, like a grid down, yeah, you'd see a lot of violence.
	It wouldn't be ideologically driven.
	It'd be survival driven.
	You know, where do I get water for my kids?
	You know, where do I get some food for my kids?
	That person is not going to care about ideology.
	And that's going to come.
	You will see some of this at some point.
	When? I don't know.
	The question isn't when, it's are you prepared?
	And they need to get their head into a book like mine to get prepared.
	That's the bottom line. If they don't do that, they can sit there and watch their TV program at night and Have a pizza and maybe drink a beer, watch the game on Sunday, but the long and short of it is it's coming down the road, and it's going to affect us.
	That's right. Yeah, it's building.
	As they're gradually taking down the power grid and creating this fragile infrastructure, they're also bringing in tons of people.
	We've got one city that I talked about.
	They increase the population by 50%.
	50%. And these are all poor Haitians who came in, individual men.
	What are they going to do if something happens there?
	How are you going to feed these people?
	How are you going to take care of them? So a lot of things are coming home to roost, and so people need to think about what they're going to do with their neighbors to try to weather disasters, whether they're natural or man-made, because we've got both of them on the horizon.
	It's always good talking to you, Jack.
	Very interesting. What a lot of experiences that you've had.
	It truly is amazing.
	And you have a wealth of information in the Civil Defense Manual.
	People can, again, see the chapters there at civildefensemanual.com on water.
	Some other things, there's some free chapters that will give you an idea of what's in the book.
	An excellent two-volume set of how to prepare and how to work with your neighbors to do that.
	Thank you so much for coming on. I appreciate it.
	Thank you, David. Thank you.
	Maybe I'll run into you.
	I'll buy you a dinner.
	Well, maybe we will run into each other.
	I don't know. We'll have to see.
	I would like to try to get away and do something.
	But that's very kind.
	I appreciate that. I do go there sometimes just to walk so I can get a little bit of exercise.
	But I just want to leave everybody with this one thing, and that is, don't get so caught up in politics.
	And we've talked about it a lot this week.
	It's kind of inescapable.
	That's one thing, when I look back at it, I'd like to give people more hope and a different perspective, because this is something you're going to lean on as...
	One of the kings of Israel was told, he says, you lean on Egypt, it's going to be a cane that's going to break and pierce your hand.
	And that's the way it's going to be with these politicians.
	We've seen it happen over and over again.
	So make sure that you've got a foundation in your life.
	Make sure that you're not focused so much on what is happening and politics or in your own Your business or whatever that that becomes the thing in your life Keep your distance Understand what these people are doing.
	That's very important as well, but keep it at arm's length.
	Don't make your life about it.
	Have a good weekend. I'm sure we're going to have something to talk about on Monday.
	There'll be politics.
	We'll try to get into some other things as they start to continually play with us in this pageant as it unflows.
