you
using free speech to free minds minds.
You're listening to The David Night Show.
As the clock strikes 13, it's Friday, May 16th of August, Year of Our Lord 2020.
We're going to take a look at talk about antitrust, about tax cuts.
When did the conservatives and libertarians start to become opponents of tax cuts?
This isn't even a partisan issue.
This is the same tax cut that Lala copied after Trump.
They said, we can't do that.
So we're going to talk about the economics of that.
We're going to ask which one of the Bilderbergers is going to rule us.
And we're going to take a look at the fear.
The fear that is pushing pandemics.
You know, let's go for the lesser of the evils.
You know, I don't want to get sick, so let's use the masks, the jabs, the lockdowns, the rest of the stuff, or elections.
It's time for us to coalesce out of fear around one of these candidates.
And you hear this a lot as well.
So we're going to take a look at what Matt Walsh is saying about that.
What John MacArthur is saying about that.
You've got to vote one way or the other, or you're not a part of the tribe.
We'll be right back. Stay with us.
♪ Well, there's a lot of chatter now about the Department of Justice wanting to break up Google.
Let me tell you, this is not the way you can stop a monopoly.
The antitrust laws have never worked against anyone.
They didn't work. Well, what happened with Microsoft?
But before that, what happened with the original antitrust movements against Rockefeller, against Standard Oil?
And it's important to go back and look at the history of Rockefeller, how he became, in his day, the richest man in the world.
He was of draft age as the Civil War was breaking out.
Now, there had been a lot of industrial uses for turpentine, and it was all coming from the South, and so the North had pretty much cut off their sources for turpentine.
But they had, at that time, identified some uses for this new stuff that was really kind of just bubbling up out of the ground in Pennsylvania.
That's why we have Quaker State and all these other things, because there was Pennzoil, because there was so much oil in Pennsylvania.
It's kind of like the Beverly Hillbillies.
Up from the ground comes a bubbling crude.
And so there was a tremendous amount of oil.
They were refining it to replace the loss of turpentine during the war.
And so what Rockefeller did was he paid somebody to take his place in the war, and he began setting up refining operations.
And he began buying refiners, essentially, is what he started doing.
You know, get a little bit of it going and then start making a monopoly out of it.
They thought that was the only place in the world where there was oil at the time.
You know, fossil fuel, it doesn't exist.
It's very rare, right?
And so he got a very effective little monopoly there in Pennsylvania.
Then, later, oil was discovered in Texas.
Like, uh-oh, now what do I do?
I don't have a monopoly down there.
Well, he moved the refineries, Standard Oil, he moved them over to Ohio to take advantage of what was coming out of Texas.
He was still focused on the refinery aspect of it.
And all of the efforts to try to break up Standard Oil and all the rest of the stuff, they just countered it with different structures.
They had interlocking directories and other things like that, but they never stopped that monopoly.
What... Somewhat put a halt to it, even though still the richest man, was the discovery of oil in the Middle East.
And then it moved to there, and the games began again.
The reason I bring this up is because the only way that you're going to fight a monopoly in something is to introduce something completely different.
And so, you're going to have to restructure the internet.
You're going to have to have a new set of priorities.
When George Gilder talked about Google, he said...
He wrote the book a few years ago.
He said, I'm in my 80s now, but I think I'm going to live to see Google taken down.
Not because of antitrust stuff.
He said, because...
And the name of the book was Life After Google by George Gilder.
He said... I think people need to, are going, if we can sell the idea that you need to control your data instead of having it available to everybody else, and that's really what we're talking about with something like Noster.
Jack Dorsey is saying that he's working on the same type of thing.
You being able to control your data, you being able to decide what you filter out, if you do filter out anything, And so, if people believe that that is important, it would completely destroy Google's data model, which is all about you.
It's about using you as cattle.
Using you as, you know, to feed off of.
Whether it's their search engines and selling your data and your behavior and your habits, or whether it is looking at everything that you're doing and feeding their AI compute models.
And so if people are tired of that, if they're tired of being cash cows for them, if they're tired of being hooked into the matrix and mind, well, then if they want privacy, that would be the way to stop Google.
But I think what the Department of Justice is doing, I don't think really, the Democrats are so tied in with Google and have been.
When George Gilder was, when Eric Schmidt was still with Google and Obama was president, It was amazing.
They had like 250 Google employees at the White House.
And so, incredibly tied in, and Eric Schmidt is very tied in with Google, talking about how he can use artificial intelligence and leverage other technology to help the Democrats win.
That's what he's talking about at the Aspen Institute.
There's an excellent article from The Last Vagabond that I want to get to today, which talks about that very thing, about Eric Schmidt.
And about his influence in the Pentagon, his influence with the Democrat Party.
So I don't think, and he's no longer at Google, but I still don't think that this is about anything other than, number one, virtue signaling to the public about something that isn't going to happen.
And number two, I think that it's about bringing them to heel.
And about getting them even more closely tied to the government, to DARPA, like Microsoft.
That's what came out of the Microsoft antitrust attacks.
Microsoft is at the very center of all these things.
They're at the center of News Guard.
They're at the center of Election Guard.
They're at the center of the Content Coalition for Providence and Authentication, the CCPA. I like to call it the Chinese Communist Party of America, because that's what it's about.
And so, they're using Microsoft, and openly so, giving them lots of money.
I mean, the $10 million grant from DARPA for ElectionGuard, the only grant given to that company that's wholly owned, Buy Microsoft.
And so I think that's what this is really all about.
Democrats squeezing them for money, squeezing them for some kind of new cooperation, just like they did Gates and Microsoft.
They are not going to break it up.
They're just looking for control over people.
Meanwhile, you have the Republican chairman, Comer, who, James Comer, he's chairman of the House Oversight Committee.
And he says, well, if Google is monopolistic, I mean, who knew until the Biden Department of Justice filed it?
We didn't know that Google was monopolistic, did we?
Well, if they're going to be monopolistic about this stuff, then they shouldn't be getting tax dollars.
Why are we giving tax dollars to the richest company?
One of the richest companies in the world, anyway.
A lot of fat contracts and subsidies.
You might want to think about giving money to some other search engines if you want to do that.
But if you had a need for that, I don't know why the government needs to be giving money to a search engine.
But, of course, they helped to create them.
The intelligence community, the military-industrial complex, helped to create these Internet companies.
But his solution...
Is the usual thing.
Hey, let's have a hearing.
I know, yeah, we can get this group together.
We can all bring the TVs.
We'll have a hearing about all this.
And so he has contacted, he's in contact now, with House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan.
They're in talks.
They're in talks.
And they're in talks about how they can do more talks.
And how they can do talks on TV. Oh, that'd be great.
Problem solved, right?
These grifting posers.
Every time you turn around, that's all they do.
Meanwhile, we're talking about Google, but here's Microsoft, right?
Microsoft at the center of this CCPA, Coalition for Content, Providence, and Authentication.
And what that's about is marking everything that you do with a number.
So they know that this is coming from David Knight and we can stop it before he uploads it onto the Internet.
Because he's been identified by our coalition partners in real media.
You know, like the BBC and the New York Times, those types of people.
And they've told us, and so we're using our software partner, Intel and others like it, who will mark anything that you create, whether it is text, a still picture, a meme, or whether it is audio, or whether it is audio and video, they'll mark it for you, right?
And then even going to the CPU. Intel's on board with this.
Yeah, censorship on board with Intel.
Intel's on board with it.
The ARM processors on board with it.
The Coalition for Content Provenance.
Who created this?
And we're going to authenticate it.
So we're going to mark everything in the world.
It's going to be tagged. And so Microsoft is updating the cloud-based services in Office 365 to censor hate speech or unauthorized sharing of copyrighted materials.
Yeah, that was the first time we got censored in 2013, the 100th anniversary of the Federal Reserve.
That's what they did.
They used a copyright claim.
This is from Wine Press News.
So, you know, Microsoft government partner.
For all of this stuff.
TechTitan Microsoft recently updated a services agreement on July 30th that will allow the company to target and remove content across its cloud-based services that promotes loosely defined hate speech and the sharing of unauthorized copyright material.
That's been the business model, by the way, of YouTube, hasn't it?
I mean, really, you know, what they complained about, the movie that they complained about, they used a couple snippets of It's a Wonderful Life with comments, but that entire movie, and that was covered under fair use, that entire movie was up on YouTube for years, had a million views, and that's where I got those clips from, and they never took that movie down.
They took down my comments about the Federal Reserve.
Office 365 Suite, Outlook, OneDrive, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OneNote, SharePoint, and Microsoft Teams.
So they're going to be scanning all of that stuff with artificial intelligence.
Because again, artificial intelligence is a leverage that's going to allow them to now data mine everything that you do and then to filter it to see if they like or dislike your content.
They will not tolerate hate speech or unauthorized sharing of copyright material.
So just shut down YouTube. Oh, no, they're not going to do that.
In 2022, Microsoft released an AI-based detection system called Toxygen, a large-scale machine-generated data set for adversarial and implicit hate speech detection.
Implicit. You may not even realize how hateful you are.
You'll have to wait until the artificial intelligence tells you, gives you a hate number.
Right? Yeah, it's not explicit.
It's implicit. AI-based surveillance.
In 2023, Microsoft publicly launched its generative AI co-pilot.
Remember that? Which has since been integrated into Microsoft products in some capacity or the other.
The company has added a co-pilot key to the keyboard this year.
By the way, that was...
Logitech. They said, well, we're going to have this wonderful mouse, and you're not going to own it.
You'll rent it forever.
And it's like, what is so special about this mouse?
Well, we've added a new button.
With that new button, you can just invoke AI to ask it questions or whatever.
It's always running, always looking to see what you're doing.
The tool is also used to scan content for hate speech and for other forms of content that Microsoft has prohibited.
Whatever they prohibit.
You know, in the future, it'll be whatever pandemic they decide to throw against us, whatever climate garbage claims they claim to throw against us.
It's all malleable.
It's just, it is a tool for censorship and surveillance.
Azure OpenAI service includes a content filtering system, the filtering models, Hate and fairness, sexual, violence, and self-harm categories.
They have been trained and tested in many different languages.
Hate and fairness refers to any content that uses pejorative or discriminatory language, which they will determine, based on attributes like race, ethnicity, nationality, gender, identity, identity, not real gender, but your gender identity.
Well, I'm a cat.
I'm a mog. I'm a half man, half dog.
I'm my own best friend.
That's John Candy's. Gender identity and expression.
Sexual orientation.
Religion. Except for the Christian religion.
You can come after the Christian religion.
Immigration status. Ability status.
Personal appearance. And body size.
Don't say anything about body size.
The list is...
It can be anything and everything.
And of course, you know that this is what they're talking about, but what they're really going to be coming after, it's going to be the pandemic MacGuffins and the climate MacGuffins.
And so then they have a corresponding list for things that are sexual.
Again, it's going to be the gender types of things.
WinePress News says, on top of this, Microsoft in 2022 released an inclusiveness word checker for Word that would auto-correct pronouns and other phrases based on gender and ethnicity.
Yeah, you know, these are the same people that have decided that they're not going to use God's preferred pronouns in their churches and their translations of the Bible, you know.
Earlier this year, Microsoft released a controversial new AI feature.
For PC models, they call it recall.
It records everything on a user screen and saves them locally on the computer.
People hated that, too.
People freaked out, questioned if this saved data was truly localized to your computer, or is it secretly being shared online?
You can bet it is.
You can bet it is.
And if your computer gets hacked, well, but I think that they're already sharing it.
Which brings us to the banks.
Viewpoint-based discrimination by banks.
There are two states that have enacted laws to check this kind of behavior by banks It's about enrolling all of these different corporations as surrogates for the government.
I mean, it would be really bad if the government were to close your financial bank account, wouldn't it?
But if the bank does it because Bank of America doesn't like you, or because they value ESG, well, that's okay.
We don't want to get in the way of corporations, and you'll have people like the Heritage Foundation, the Cato Institute, and Reasons say the same thing about that, as I said, about the social media companies that were shutting down people's speech.
Well, corporations can do anything they want.
You know, they're equal to you, aren't they?
No, they're not. Corporations are created by the state.
We, on the other hand, are created by God.
That's the fundamental premise of the Declaration of Independence, the foundation of this country.
That we have rights because we're created by God.
Corporations have privileges because they're creatures of government.
And these corporations are not to be superior to humans.
But you have these, you know, the left and the right.
But especially when we had this free speech debate, it was beyond annoying for me to continue to hear all of these different organizations like Cato, Reason, Heritage Foundation, Saying, well, these corporations, and they have a right to do whatever they wish.
No, they don't. Especially when they have become the de facto digital public square.
And when the government has given them liability protection, saying, you're not going to be responsible for the things that are uploaded.
You know, they're trying to extradite Kim.com for that very reason.
It's like, what? You mean people uploaded onto mega-upload certain content that...
The government says violated copyright.
There we are. We're back to copyright again.
The basis for censorship.
You mean people uploaded stuff to there?
Well, why isn't he covered under Section 230?
Is it because he's not American?
Because he's never lived in America?
Never had a business in America?
Never worked in America?
Never visited America? Is that why he's not protected under Section 230?
No. Why are they trying to extradite him from New Zealand?
And why is New Zealand acting like a puppet to the federal government?
That's the real concern.
Anyway, getting back to the banks.
Real clear markets.
Pushing back against viewpoint-based discrimination by banks.
And, as I said, there's two states, Florida and Tennessee, which have prohibited this at the state level.
And the federal government is not happy about this.
Which tells you that it's not coming from the banks.
It tells you that it's coming from the federal government, just like the censorship came from the federal government.
And, of course, you knew that already.
You'd have to be pretty stupid and dense to not understand that.
You'd have to just read the New York Times and the Washington Post exclusively or something.
On paper, Zulfat Suara and Steve Happt, Don't have much in common.
A Memphis native with a background in software who began a ministry partnering with Ugandan non-profit charities that care for orphaned and at-risk children in 2015.
So what do they have in common?
Both have been canceled by large national banks with little warning and virtually no explanation.
Suara, who like Happt, is also involved in non-profit work, received a vaguely worded notice of cancellation from Regions Bank earlier this year, giving her 30 days to find a new bank.
Hap's cancellation by Bank of America came in 2023, shortly before he made a trip overseas, forcing him to scramble for solutions and to delay hard-earned paychecks to Ugandans.
His notice said that he was operating in the wrong, quote, business type.
You've got the wrong type of business.
We don't like what you're doing.
You got like some Christian charity business here?
What's the matter with that? These incidents propelled Tennessee lawmakers to adopt a landmark legislative solution aimed at curbing this dangerous weaponization of the financial system.
Like a similar law that recently went into effect in Florida, the Tennessee legislation was the first of its kind.
We had some good legislators.
I don't know what's going to happen after this time.
Had a lot of foreign money come in.
Foreign out-of-state money, let's just say.
Some of it foreign. Getting rid of people like Frank Nicely who did this type of stuff.
You've got to stop the money.
Show me the money, Jerry.
Show me the money.
And I'll show you the corruption.
Like a similar law that recently went into effect in Florida, the legislation is a first-of-its-kind consumer protection bill that prohibits big banks from canceling customer accounts based on their constitutionally protected speech and religious exercise.
The Tennessee law applies to banks with at least $100 billion in assets, which includes both regions and Bank of America.
Bank of America has also been exposed by the U.S. House oversight as working hand-in-hand with the Department of Treasury.
To profile as domestic terrorist threats my organization, says the writer of this, which is the Alliance Defending Freedom.
That is a pro-Christian free exercise religion organization.
And also, everyday Americans who commit the sin of shopping at Bass Pro Shops, or buying, quote, religious texts, quote-unquote.
It should come as no surprise that the Treasury Department, Has now spoken out in opposition to these state-level attempts to protect the God-given freedoms guaranteed by the First Amendment.
Because it's coming from the federal, it's coming from Biden's weaponized Department of Justice.
And they can have all these government weaponization hearings and everything.
Have you seen the Republicans do anything?
Do they cut the funding?
No. They're building big new buildings for the FBI. They have signed on 100%.
Under Mike Johnson.
Even more so than Kevin McCarthy.
They signed on to the expansion of the IRS. To take it, make it seven times bigger.
To go from a budget of $13 billion a year to a budget of $93 billion.
So, yeah, they're going to do all that.
But the banks, as they said, are highly regulated.
It's not a free market if access depends on your political and religious views, right?
Except politics and religion are always what they screen for.
When they started doing geospatial intelligence in the end of the 1990s, as they were weaponizing the internet as well, and creating the social media companies and search engine companies like Google that were going to be their handmaids, as they were doing all this, their prime objective was to look at political and religious views.
Oh, well, that's to come after the radical Muslims that took down the towers on 9-11.
No, it's to come after the Patriots.
It's like the Patriot Act.
It's to come after the Patriots.
And as always, geospatial intelligence has always been about mapping people's political and religious views.
Banks, he says, are highly regulated.
By the way, it's not just the list that he had there.
It's also the January of the Sixth people.
Bank of America was heavily involved in that.
They claimed that they just did it voluntarily, that they weren't asked by the Justice Department or by the FBI to give that information to them.
But they, whatever, whether they were asked or not, they did it joyfully, putting together lists of people who were in the Washington area.
And they, you know, here's a list of everybody that was in there.
So go find them. And go prosecute them just for being in the area.
And, of course, they needed to know what their political beliefs were as well.
Because you don't want to go round up a bunch of Democrats in Washington, D.C. Jails couldn't hold them all, right?
But then they wanted to also, I guess, to try to figure out what their political beliefs were.
They looked to see They gave them information saying, yeah, they got a Bank of America credit card and they bought guns with it.
So, you know, that makes you guilty, I guess.
In 1998, they said they're highly regulated, but then they get a lot of subsidies.
In 1998, for example, JPMorgan Chase received over $1.7 trillion from American taxpayers in the form of subsidies.
This is not the crash that happened a decade later.
But look, they've also been fined over $2 billion for criminal activity, at a minimum.
So, you know, with one hand, you give them $2 trillion, and then with the other hand, you take away $2 billion.
Well, that's reasonable, right?
That's the government.
Second, ESG activism and even government regulators are introducing non-financial and subjective factors in decision-making by classifying groups like the Alliance Defending Freedom as domestic terrorist threats and denying service to Christian ministries that support orphans and widows because they're in the wrong business type.
Someone should explain how these groups, or how Christian broadcaster Lance Wallnau or U.S. Ambassador Sam Brownback, present national security threats.
Of course, one of the features of the state laws is that people like Wallnau and Ambassador Brownback can demand a written explanation from the banks.
Third, the market is not free if it doesn't support a free society.
And if we allow financial services to become politicized, we undermine the democratic process and deny businesses the ability to focus on what they do best.
Well, it's already politicized.
It's been politicized for quite some time.
The Treasury cannot profile half of America's domestic terrorists.
Institute or Welland Financial Surveillance and then hide behind the fig leaf of national security when the states push back.
Well, yeah, they can't because they're doing it.
And they've been doing it in the open with the J6ers.
They were not stopped.
And so now they're doing it with people like Scott Ritter and Tulsi Gabbard.
And they're doing it with people by debanking them or Putting them on a list where they have air marshals following around Tulsi Gabbard.
I don't care what you think about people's politics.
I know all I need to know about the politics of this corrupt administration when I see that type of thing.
And so here's the key thing.
It does come back to the states, doesn't it?
Isn't that really where the things get done at this point in time?
They are in a position to be a check on this kind of stuff.
And there really isn't anything that the Fed can do about it, especially if the states, even if they were to get a Supreme Court decision to agree with the Feds that states can't require these banks to be fair and even-handed, that they can't require the banks to not discriminate based on politics, based on religion and other things.
Even if you had the Supreme Court say, yeah, the federal government can prohibit fairness, well, the states should just say, well, you've made your ruling.
Let's see you enforce it.
States like Tennessee and Florida have a critical role to play in adopting laws to ensure their citizens' freedoms are protected, but also enforcing these laws so that no one else has to fear financial discrimination because of their religious or political beliefs.
Yeah, when we look at the impact of this issue, That is very, very important.
And while we're talking about the geospatial intelligence, and while we're talking about January the 6th, we have just had a court case at the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals.
A judge there, James C. Ho, H-O, has struck a blow against this kind of geofence search warrants.
Without a warrant. In other words, they're just warrantless searches using geofencing, which is what Bank of America did on January the 6th.
The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals has just determined that geofence searches are not allowed under the Constitution.
That's not rocket science.
It's just reading the document using GPS or any other technology that provides authorities with names and locations of individuals who were in a particular place at a particular time.
That's your only crime that you've committed.
You're in the vicinity of where a crime was committed, so now all of your information is sent to the police.
But in this particular case, it was a robbery.
And the judge, Judge James Ho, I explained how geofence technology isn't allowed in a ruling that now conflicts with another circuit court, meaning that a Supreme Court decision is going to be more likely.
You've got two circuit courts that say different things about this.
One accepts geofence search warrants, quote-unquote.
You know, the warrant has to be specific.
It has to be person, place, and thing, look for, and that type of thing.
The geofence warrants don't meet that, obviously.
He said this, so he's opposed it, another circuit court has supported it.
So it means it's going to need to go to the Supreme Court.
Geofence warrants are powerful tools for investigating and deterring crime, said the judge.
The defendants here engaged in a violent robbery.
And they likely would have gotten away with it, except for this geofence warrant.
So I fully recognize that our panel decision today...
We'll inevitably hamper legitimate law enforcement interests.
But, hamstringing the government is the whole point of our Constitution.
You see, I've said this many times.
If you're going to ignore the prohibitions on illegal acts by the government, if your only concern is to make it easy for law enforcement or other government bureaucracies to do their work, then...
You are inviting tyranny.
That's not the purpose.
And you're also most likely going to be creating a criminal institution that has the presumed authority, but certainly the weight of government.
The worst possible situation, far worse than letting robbers get away with it, is to empower government to be criminal.
To empower government to terrorize people.
That's why you hamstring government.
So he says, I understand that.
But he says, hamstringing the government is the whole point of our Constitution.
Our founders recognized that the government will not always be comprised of publicly spirited officers.
And that even good faith actors can be overcome by the zealous pursuit of legitimate public interests.
And then he quotes Federalist No.
51. If men were angels, no government would be necessary.
And if angels were to govern men, neither external nor internal controls on government would be necessary.
But experience has taught mankind the necessity of auxiliary precautions.
It is because of human nature that it is necessary to control the abuses of government.
And so the ruling says this court cannot forgive the requirements of the Fourth Amendment.
In other words, we cannot ignore it.
How many times have you seen the Supreme Court ignore the Constitution?
Especially the Fourth Amendment.
Scalia that everybody looks at is, oh, he's a textualist.
He's an originalist. He wants to go with what the text says.
He just swept aside the Fourth Amendment when it came to the TSA. Doing general searches on everybody that goes to an airport.
Oh yeah, that's fine. We've got to make it easy for the government to find terrorists.
And guess what? There are no terrorist threats against airports or airplanes.
The TSA admitted that in a 2011 document.
At the same time, they were threatening to shut down Texas, all flights in and out of Texas, if they stopped them from doing naked body scans and patting down kids.
Yeah. So this court cannot forgive the requirements of the Fourth Amendment in the name of law enforcement.
We hold that geofence warrants are general warrants that are categorically prohibited by the Fourth Amendment.
The case involved three Mississippi men convicted of a 2018 armed robbery, and this ruling said even though geofence warrants are unconstitutional, the convicts were not allowed to suppress evidence because law enforcement acted in good faith in relying on this type of warrant.
Well, the Electronic Frontier Foundation says this is a major change.
They applaud the decision.
It is essential, they said, that every person feels like they can simply take their cell phone out into the world without the fear that they might end up a criminal suspect because their location data was swept up in an open-ended digital dragnet.
And again, this has happened many times.
January 6th is one of the best examples of it, but they've had other situations.
Where people have been swept up into a criminal investigation, simply because they were in an area where they did a big dragnet.
Google, in the process, Google determines which accounts, Google databases is turning this stuff over with searches as well, right?
So, phone companies are doing it.
Google is doing it.
The banks are doing it.
The United Stasi of America.
Yeah, that's what USA means now, right?
Google determines which accounts were within the defined boundaries, and it gives law enforcement an anonymized list of suspects, but then, of course, they can ask for more information about that.
So maybe this is...
They need Google's help a little bit more.
Maybe that's what this antitrust stuff is really about.
Julie Kelly said, so when Google conducts a geofence search, every cell phone user is included in the initial batch.
The term sensor vault...
Refers to Google's entire location history database.
How is this possibly constitutional?
And where this all began, again, if we go back to the mid-20th century, and right after World War II, the CIA is created.
Truman creates the NSA with an executive order.
It's not even created by Congress.
And then by the early 70s, they realized, hey, wait a minute, CIA and the NSA are spying on Americans without search warrants.
They're listening to people's phones and doing other things like that.
And the courts excused it.
They said, well, you know, even though the phone company is a monopoly, government-created monopoly, a government-created monopoly, even though they're a monopoly, They can do whatever they want.
It's their data. If you're doing business with a phone company, it's their data, and they can turn it over to you, and there's nothing to be said about it.
The courts went along with that lie.
And so, you know, even though they came up with a FISA court, which then they turned around and said, well, that's going to be our search warrant.
We'll get permission from one judge.
We'll call that a FISA court, and that'll allow us to spy on Mr.
and Mrs. Verizon. But that's been the essence of it all along, the idea.
That they can work with corporations.
It's always this corporate fascist partnership, right?
With government. The corporations are doing this, and if they want to, that data belongs to them.
Even if it's a government-created monopoly, that data belongs to them.
And if AT&T or Google wants to turn that information voluntarily over to the government or Bank of America, well, that's Bank of America's data.
It may be data that they collected about you, but they can do with it whatever they want.
If they want to give it to the government, if they want to sell it to the government, the courts say, that's okay.
And so this is a very important decision.
That's why EFF, Electronic Freedom Foundation, said, yeah, that's important.
Jeff Clark, the Fifth Circuit is right.
This is another dagger to J6 conventions since many of the defendants were identified via geofencing.
Well, absolutely right.
We're going to take a quick break, and when we come back, we're going to take a look at Elon Musk and J.K. Rowling and the man who beat up women in the Olympics.
He's now suing them.
We'll be right back.
So, THIS IS A TREE That I found!
WOW!!!
It's a beautiful flower How beautiful it is!!!
I love it!
The David Knight Show.
Who would have thought that one of the defining questions of the idiotic times in which we live is, what is a woman?
Ha ha ha! It was kind of a rhetorical takedown when it was Senator Marsha Blackburn from Tennessee.
I think it, wasn't it in the Brown-Jackson confirmation hearings, I think she said that?
Well, I don't really know what a woman is.
Well, evidently nobody knows what a woman is.
It can't be biological, of course.
It can't be because you have XY chromosomes.
And that's really the issue with this Olympic boxer.
Evidently, there's been no specifics about it.
I imagine there will be specifics about it now because this Algerian boxer who beat up women and won a gold medal for doing it is now suing Elon Musk and J.K. Rowling.
If guilty, they could be given a five-year prison sentence and a fine of up to 214,000 pounds.
And so, I don't know, maybe that's...
Somewhere between $250,000 and $300,000.
If Olympic boxer from Algeria wins the criminal cyberbullying case, and this is in France, of course.
We've already seen what French values are in the Olympics, haven't we?
So this is the totalitarian EU, especially France, pretending to have compassion for this guy, pretending to be a woman.
And as I point out, he's not a transgender woman.
I mean, there is a biological aspect of this, and what they say is that they've hinted that perhaps there is something wrong with the genitalia of this guy and the Taiwanese boxer.
Which, by the way, we're not allowed to call him Taiwanese.
They have a different phrase for it.
He is from Taiwan, but...
We have to bow to political correctness with the Chinese Communist Party and not say that he is Taiwanese, even though he is.
He's a Taiwanese man boxing women.
Can't say that. But the Algerian, he also won a gold medal in his weight class.
And as I said before, why do we have different weight classes?
When are they going to stop assigning these weight numbers to people?
You know, I mean, it's a scale, right?
We shouldn't weigh these people anymore.
We shouldn't have different boxing classes.
Let's let the featherweights box the heavyweights.
That's why you have men and women.
That's why you have different weight classes.
That's why you have a handicap number that is assigned with golfing.
I don't understand how that works.
I don't play golf, but that's to try to level the playing field.
But we don't want to do that.
But evidently there may be something wrong with their genitalia, but the chromosomes are XY, which means that this would be a doping issue, right?
Are you allowed to take steroids and compete in these things?
Are you allowed to dope it up with XY stuff?
Well, no. So it makes sense.
But again, getting back to the original stuff.
Here's my question. I don't hear anybody saying this.
Let me go full male chauvinist and say, I don't understand why anybody wants to watch women boxing.
Even if there are really two women boxing.
I don't want to see that.
What's going on with our society?
That's sick in and of itself.
It's even sicker when you have men boxing women.
The whole thing is pathetic.
Anyway, this trial, I'm sure, will be as detached from reality as the Olympics were.
We'll see what kind of details come out in it.
But as Naomi Wolf said in her book, 2007, she wrote this, The End of America, A Letter of Warning to a Young Patriot, Naomi Wolf said all dictators invoke an external and internal threat.
They develop a paramilitary force.
They create a secret prison system.
They surveil ordinary citizens.
They arbitrarily detain and release them.
They harass citizens groups.
They target writers, entertainers, other key individuals for dissenting.
They intimidate the press.
They recast dissent as treason.
And criticism as espionage, and eventually they subvert the rule of law.
Well, we have done all of that.
And all that was done under the Trump administration as well as the Biden administration.
The Biden administration has just taken it to the next step.
It goes back and forth.
And so that was quoted by the UK news site Exposé News.
To talk about what is happening in the UK, I think it's...
The way they characterize it is exactly right.
The instant authoritarianism of two-tier Keir Starmer.
Yeah, two-tier, double standard.
Two-face. Two-face Starmer and his labor government.
But it was, they did go instantly authoritarian.
Except I understand that all of the tools were laid out for them.
Everything that they needed was left on the desk.
When the Conservative Party left, the Conservative Party had been creating all the weapons, just as Trump created the jab weapons and then left them there for Biden to do the next step.
But, of course, Trump had already signed on to do the next step.
In 2019, he was supporting, very vociferously, the mandates for measles shots, the MMR stuff, against any religious or medical exemptions.
He had already, as Jason Barker has pointed out many times as well, he had already said that as soon as the FDA gave its rubber stamp to these things, that it was going to be mandated.
And I said in December 2020, publicly, on public record, saying, that's going to happen in September of 2001.
Why? Well, because that's when school is going to start, and it gives them some time to get people accustomed to the idea.
But again, the instant authoritarianism of two-tier Keir, Starmer's labor government, which decided to use a civil unrest as a result of the gut-wrenching massacre of three kids, three very young children, with a knife-wielding man, to advance a long-term planned criminalized controversial speech, to control social media giants, to police the Internet in a
manner considered to be unthinkable in virtually all modern Western democracies.
And that's even in modern democracies, and certainly in democracies that would have been around a century ago. And then that brings us to Kim.com. He has just lost a trial in New Zealand for extradition. He has been fighting this for 12 years.
The FBI demanded that he be extradited.
The FBI had ordered a raid on his mansion in Auckland, New Zealand.
Isn't that interesting? The FBI is ordering the New Zealand government to do it.
The New Zealand government, puppets as they are, of the global governance.
And we are the center of the global governance.
Make no doubt about it.
We like to pretend that it's not us.
It's the WHO or it's Davos.
No, we are the UN. We are the major funders of these things.
U.S. headquartered corporations.
Anyway, the FBI told the New Zealand government to raid his home in New Zealand.
And they did. And he's been fighting extradition for 12 years.
In 2017, the High Court in New Zealand first approved his extradition.
With an appeal court reaffirming the finding in 2018 and 2020, the country's Supreme Court again affirmed the finding.
However, they left the door open for further judicial review.
And so, now a judge has jumped in on that yet again.
How many times and how many different courts is New Zealand going to surrender its sovereignty to the U.S. government?
They're part of the Five Eyes Network.
The five English-speaking countries.
The U.S., U.K., Canada, New Zealand, Australia.
He said, I love New Zealand.
He put out on Twitter, I love New Zealand.
I'm not leaving. And he says, don't worry.
I have a plan. Well, I hope he does.
But as I said before, and as he's pointed out, he's never lived in the U.S.A. He's never worked in the U.S.A. He's never owned a business in the U.S.A. He's never even visited the U.S.A. What authority do they have against him?
And what are the accusations?
Oh, well, people used his site, Mega Upload, to upload copyrighted material.
Isn't that what YouTube is all about?
You know, come on.
Anyway, that's really their business model.
According to U.S. authorities, Chem.com and three other mega-upload executives cost film studios over a half a billion dollars by encouraging people to store and share copyrighted material.
They just made that up.
What did they do? A PCR test on the copyrighted material?
That's about as accurate.
Generating over $175 million for his website.
He also faces charges of money laundering and racketeering.
And again, these racketeering charges are really meaningless.
It's a way to get around due process.
And people like Rudy Giuliani were more than happy to build their career on it.
Eventually it comes around and it bites him.
He's now being charged with racketeering.
When it comes to money laundering, what does that mean?
They came after...
The Republican Speaker of the House, longest-serving Speaker of the House, who had been handpicked because he had been a wrestling coach, and I think it was known before they ran him for Congress as a Republican, Dennis Astrid. I think it was known that he was a pedophile.
One of these people that he had victimized as a coach, Wait a minute.
I know somebody else that's a coach who's running for office right now.
Tim Walz. He hangs around with some pretty dodgy characters, too.
Not even trying to hide it.
I mean, Dennis Astert looked like he was a real conservative guy.
And, you know, they have a statute of limitations.
They wouldn't change the statute of limitations.
They could have come after him for the real crime of pedophilia.
Instead they came after him for a non-crime of structuring his money so the bank wouldn't ask him about it, but it was money that he took out.
He had already paid taxes on it.
What business is it of theirs or the government about that?
But they sent him to jail for that.
You know, that kind of money laundering I imagine is what they're after with Kim.com.
New Zealand copyright law makes it clear that an ISP can't be criminally liable for the actions of their users.
Kim noted in 2017, he said, unless of course, you're Kim.com.
And then they will ignore that law.
New Zealand Copyright Law 92B makes it clear that an ISP can't be criminally liable for actions of their users.
And as a matter of fact, like I said before, you look at Section 230 of the United States.
Well, that was supposed to protect these sites from what people would upload if they're a public site.
Because if you're going to knock them down, anytime somebody puts up something that was criminal, And you're going to take down Google or you're going to take down Facebook or Twitter or whatever because somebody puts up something that is, let's say, you know, there's child porn or something, right? They post it up there.
Well, we're going to take down the whole site instead of going after the person who posted that.
They put up Section 230 to protect against that or you're not going to have any Internet sites.
Mega Upload was based in Hong Kong until 2012 when the U.S. seized the domain and shuttered the site.
Then it relaunched the next year as Mega with a New Zealand domain name.
However,.com has had no involvement with the company since at least 2015.
The company's chief marketing officer and chief technical officer, both from Germany, along with a third executive, were arrested in Auckland along with Chem.com in 2012.
One of them died in 2022.
One of the other three people died in 2022.
The other two were sentenced to jail in New Zealand, and they did plea bargains that helped them to avoid extradition.
And so I guess they turned against Kim.com.
So the other three executives, one of them died, the other two worked out a plea deal.
Elon Musk commented on it and said the decision to extradite you is a blow to justice.
Musk is right about this.
You fought against unfair persecution for over a decade.
The U.S. wants to scapegoat you for issues they couldn't control.
New Zealand should protect you, not serve as a proxy for U.S. overreach.
He's exactly right about that.
It is truly disgusting.
What is being done?
I mean, again, not a citizen, not doing business in the United States.
They've got Section 230.
New Zealand has got laws against that.
But, of course, just look at Julian Assange.
They had no authorization to come after him either.
He wasn't an American citizen.
On Rumble, Audi, Modern Retro Radio.
Thank you very much. I appreciate it.
It's very generous. Good morning, David.
Thanks for keeping up the good fight.
Thank you very much. We're going to take a quick break.
When we come back, I've got a quick update with some pharma news.
So, stay with us, we'll be right back.
You're listening to The David M. Kahn Show, and I'm David M.
Kahn.
You're listening to The David Knight Show.
By the way, that reminded me, I got an email, a very nice email, very kind, from Sue, who said she really liked the music, and she was anxious to get the Christmas album when it's time again.
I'm hoping that I'll have time to do some new songs this year, too.
Maybe we'll have a follow-up Christmas album this year.
But time will tell.
Time will tell. But she asked if I would sell some of these things.
I hadn't thought about doing that.
Maybe I would. I could do some more, actually, of those.
But thank you very much.
And she asked about that particular one.
And, by the way, that is Palladio.
It's by a contemporary composer.
He's still alive. Carl Jenkins.
Very famous in the UK. And his work has been used in a lot of different things.
That was used, I believe, I think it was after we stopped watching TV. But I think they had it in a Diamond commercial.
And that's Palladio by Carl Jenkins.
That's my cover of it.
I'll talk a little bit about pharma.
Medical warfare.
That's what it's called by Children's Health Defense.
It has a couple of doctors who questioned the Trump mRNA shots and who also promoted ivermectin and HCQ to help people with their respiratory issues.
I gotta say, you know, regardless of what's going on with it, I know someone who is very, very sick with pneumonia, and he took ivermectin, immediately made a big difference with him.
So I don't know what the mechanism is there.
As we talked the other day with Samantha and her husband, Mark Bailey, both of them medical doctors out of New Zealand.
And they talked about, I'd never heard of this, the common cold unit that ran for 50 years in the UK, they're trying to figure out how colds are transmitted.
They would collect snot, spit, and give it to other people.
I mean, it's disgusting when you stop thinking about it.
But other than that, it was kind of like a two-week vacation where they would spray you with sneezes and things like that to see if people would get sick.
They could never figure out anything.
They could never trace any of this stuff in terms of cold viruses.
They did postulate a rhinovirus, meaning a nose virus.
And SARS and other things like that.
But they never really had no virus.
They never isolated any of these things.
It really does make you scratch your head and question all this stuff.
But regardless of all that, I mean, still, Ivermectin are people who are helped by that.
But the bottom line is that the governments should stay out of our health care, shouldn't they?
I mean, isn't that what Lala and Biden and all these pro-abortion people are saying?
My health decisions should be between me and my doctor.
Well, no, that's only if you want to make a decision to kill your child.
Any other health decisions, they are going to be right there in the middle.
And if you and your doctor decide that you want to do something, they will prohibit it.
They'll take the license of the doctor or they'll take the license of the pharmacist who fills the prescriptions.
And so now they have the American Board of Internal Medicine last week Revoked the certifications of Drs.
Pierre Corey and Paul Merrick following a two-year investigation into them promoting ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine.
And just to put this in perspective, these are both drugs that were approved by the FDA. They were approved for other things that they said that they had tested them for.
And whenever you take an approved drug, And you use it for a different condition that has not been evaluated as to whether or not it is effective for that condition.
That has always been allowed.
That's called off-label use of an authorized drug.
For 60, 70 years, hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin have been used for several different things.
And... So their safety supposedly has been evaluated.
If it wasn't evaluated by the FDA, people pretty much know the safety profile after 60 or 70 years of it.
And so if you know the safety profile of this, if you want to try it to see if it's effective for some other condition, that's just called off-label use.
Why would you criminalize that?
Well, because they want to make sure that everybody gets the vaccine.
That was the thing, and that was a dead giveaway.
Two doctors who spoke about the vaccines and alternative treatments received notice their medical certifications were revoked, while another doctor said her certification was revoked without her knowledge.
The American Board of Internal Medicine last week revoked the certifications of Drs.
Pierre Corey and Paul Merrick following a two-year investigation and promotion of ivermectin hydroxychloroquine.
They're both co-founders of the Frontline COVID-19 Critical Care Alliance, which promotes alternative treatments.
For COVID-19.
Again, if we're going to allow these trade organizations to operate as guilds and to be able to shut people down, if we're going to allow the public health people to say, we don't care about your informed consent and we don't care about you, we're going to tell you what you can and cannot have.
And so Armageddon Pros wrote this op-ed piece.
I spoke about the death of Susan Wojcicki, the YouTube executive, who died of cancer.
They've been fighting it for two years, 2022.
The headline from Armageddon Pros says, Shall we toll the bells for a dead vax totalitarian?
Susan Wojcicki was one of the most hardcore censors of truthful COVID-19 information throughout the pandemic, censoring anything critical of the so-called vaccines, anything speculating that COVID-19 originated from a Chinese lab receiving government funding funneled by Fauci through EcoHealth Alliance.
And, of course, now, just like the masks, they have flipped that narrative.
Now they really support that.
They support vaccines.
The whole lab leak thing.
Because they want you to believe that the pandemic was real.
They will support anything.
And it's a very convenient thing to blame it on China, too.
So, yeah, blame it on China and tell everybody that it was real.
I do not support the lab leak idea.
I do not believe that at all.
I don't believe this gain-of-function stuff.
And I've been opposing it for four years now.
Over four years. NPR said Susan Wojcicki, a Silicon Valley visionary who helped shape Google and YouTube, died Friday after a two-year battle with non-small cell lung cancer.
She oversaw the platform as it grappled with hate speech, misinformation, and inappropriate content.
As I said before, I got censored before she became CEO of YouTube.
She became CEO in 2014.
They were censoring me in December 2013.
For the Federal Reserve video.
Claiming copyright infringement, again.
Business Insider said in March 2020, they said YouTube's Susan Wojcicki has suggested that the video platform will remove content that contradicts the WHO's advice on COVID-19.
In an interview with CNN, she said YouTube will be removing information that is problematic.
Meaning anything that is medically unsubstantiated.
You know, like treatment for her cancer.
Just how many lives have been lost directly due to Wajiki's brutal censorship regime?
How many people might have gained access to information about the stuff that is killing people?
The ventilators. The remdesivir.
Other things like that.
So, how many terrified parents cloistered their children at home, setting back their psychological and mental development for years, perhaps never to be recovered?
How many schools remained locked down for years on end, depriving children of social interaction and working parents of the means to support their children and work at the That's right. How many businesses?
How many people lost their lives?
How many people lost their lives?
And would this article say the same thing about Trump?
Because he's even more culpable than a YouTube executive.
No, no.
Not going to say that about Trump.
Not going to say it about Trump.
They will give Trump a pass.
Trump wasn't there.
I don't know. He just, like, disappeared from Earth for an entire year.
All of 2020. He just wasn't around.
I don't know what he was doing.
Non-cell, non-small cell lung cancer.
That's an odd thing. Non-small.
It's not big, but it's non-small.
Anyway, that form of lung cancer is a rare, fast-growing lung cancer that can affect anyone, but it typically sets in those who have a long history of Of smoking tobacco.
Did she smoke? Well, there's no indication that she did.
I would say based on, you know, the kind of profile, social profile that she was keeping, I would say very, very likely not that she was a smoker.
So where did she get it? Was it the COVID-19 shots?
Microbiologist Kevin McKiernan and his team recently discovered SV40, that's Simeon Virus 40 promoters, And Pfizer and Moderna's mRNA shots.
So, this is, and of course, they don't mention it in this article, but pathologist Dr.
Ryan Cole said in the spring of 2020, 2021, as he's looking at the people, some of the people who have been vaccinated, he goes, these people who have been vaccinated, they've got a very, very low killer T-cell count.
Killer T-cell is going to be one of your body's main line of defense against cancer.
So I think we're going to see a lot more cancer, and we're going to see it advancing a lot more quickly.
So equally troubling, these DNA contaminants can also alter the human genome.
Statistically significant increases in age-adjusted mortality rates of all cancers are We're observed in 2022 after two-thirds of the Japanese population had received the third or later dose of these Trump shots.
A study by Pfizer proves that the mRNA vaccination during pregnancy is highly likely to cause abortion.
But they have covered this up.
The health officials have moved on in both the US and the UK. They knew that But they chose not to talk about it.
Well, we're going to take a quick break, and when we come back, we're going to talk about the people who were trying to make it a moral imperative for you to vote for one of these candidates or the other.
We'll be right back.
Welcome back.
In a world of deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act!
You're listening to The David Knight Show.
you Before we get into this discussion about the imperatives that are being put on people to support one candidate or the other, and it's going to only get worse as we get closer.
You know, we're now probably, what, between 90 and 100 days out from the election.
And it is really going to ramp up, and everybody is going to feel the fear, aren't they?
So I want to talk to you about that.
But before I do... Let's talk about what is happening to food.
That's a big part of the election, isn't it?
You know, you've got Lala Harris out there saying, food is, rent's just too damn high.
Remember that guy from New York City who was running for office?
That was his campaign slogan.
Well, she's basically vamping on that, except it's food is too high.
That is the only problem, because people know on a regular basis they see how expensive food is.
And of course, one of the reasons that it's expensive is because they are trying to constrict our supply with a mass culling of animals that they're doing.
There are some root causes for that.
But of course, the ultimate root cause is the money printing and the spending of the federal government.
But you can create these increases here as they are attacking the food supply.
Let's talk a little bit about Patriot Be Best.
And you can find them at PatriotBeeBest.com.
The natural food chain and bees are absolutely essential to that.
What can you learn to help support that?
You know, really, all politics is local, and ultimately, food supply is going to be local as well, isn't it?
Well, the good people at Patriot Bee Best have done extensive research and study about this important issue.
They've created an educational online digest to help spread the word about the challenges facing the American bee and educating American patriots to engage as advocates to inform others and to band together to help solve this problem.

Why is our American Bee population under attack?
Well, there's some obvious answers as to why our food supply is under attack, and this is something you can actually do about it.
Again, patriotbeebest.com.
Well, as we look at the beginning of the school year, which is really amazing to us.
School used to not start until September when we were kids.
Now they start it. They keep moving it earlier and earlier.
Some of them were starting to talk about doing it back in July, but we have new metal detectors delaying students' first day of school in Broward County.
Remember Broward County?
Remember the coward of Broward County?
The The school defense officer with a uniform and a gun who hid out while the school was being shot at.
People began to talk about, hey, you know what we need is armed teachers.
Well, they didn't get that.
Instead, what they got was metal detectors.
And a disorganized rollout of new metal detectors.
They kept students waiting in long lines, late to class, the first day, and all the rest of the stuff.
They rolled these things out at 38 different schools.
So, each of the schools, each of the high schools were participating in this and each of them had big, big issues.
Schools are trying to ban in some jurisdictions in El Paso, Texas.
They said, you know, we've got a real character problem here.
You know, I think I know what the issue is.
I think it's black clothing.
We've got to ban black clothing.
Those people can't.
So that means that Johnny Cash could never go to that if he hadn't passed away.
He could not attend that school even at a concert because they are now against the kind of ban all black attire.
It's now on hold.
El Paso Middle School, a new dress code policy that bars students from wearing all black From head to toe, they sent out a letter saying they're prohibiting all black attire due to its association with depression and mental health issues and or criminality.
You know, I don't think it's the black clothing.
I think it's the government institutions that we call school that is causing all of that kind of stuff.
And on the new American, Alex Newman.
And I really like Alex.
We have... I've had him on several times.
He's written a book about the roots of corruption in the American school system, going back to the early 1800s, the people and the philosophies behind all of this.
And he's got an article on the New American, The Occult Spirituality and Values Manipulation Injected in Schools by the U.N., And so, you know, it's not the black clothing.
It's kind of the occult spirituality, isn't it?
The UN is injecting occult spirituality as part in the guise of social-emotional learning.
And indeed, he says, many of the ringleaders of this movement openly claim to be speaking with the dead with ascended masters or spirits.
Wait a minute. I know somebody.
He was leading prayers to ascended masters.
He's doing it in churches with a big political meeting there.
Yeah, that was General Flynn leading prayers to ascended masters and everything.
And Alex doesn't have anything to do with this.
This is on the New American.
But the New American had an interview they did with Michael Flynn up for over a month.
They did an interview with him and they featured it at the top of their website for over a month.
This guy who was leading occultic prayers to ascended masters.
So, it's everywhere, isn't it?
Many are actually Communist Party leaders and population control zealots in the schools.
Absolutely true.
Absolutely true. So, get your kids out of these schools.
Get your kids out of the MAGA clubs as well.
That would be very important to do.
American Theocracy.
This is by John Whitehead of the Rutherford Institute.
Free Thought Project had the article as well.
American Theocracy.
Politics has become our national religion.
He says, statism has turned into a cult.
And as Americans continue to pray at the altar of the state, they lose their liberty in the process.
And some of them will actually also pray to ascended masters and the MAGA thing, the Reawaken America Tour.
While those on the left have feared a religious coup by evangelical Christians on the right, the danger has come from an altogether different direction.
Our constitutional republic has given way to a theocracy that is structured around the worship of a political savior.
For all intents and purposes, politics has become America's God.
Pay close attention to the political conventions for presidential candidates, and it becomes immediately evident that Americans have allowed themselves to be brainwashed into worshiping a political idol manufactured by the deep state.
And I'm not just talking about the Trumpsters.
I'm just talking about MAGA. It's pretty obvious when they do it.
They speak in terms that are very similar to Christian religious terms.
But, of course, the left does it as well.
The left has their own set of values, and they literally do worship.
They do idolize.
In the same way, we talk about teen idols and movie stars and all the rest of the stuff as idols because they are.
It's what people value and put on a pedestal, look to for help, for redemption, for whatever.
And so both the left and the right are equally guilty of this.
This isn't something that is limited to Christian nationalism or whatever.
The left does it as well.
They were the first ones, actually, to do it.
Then, unfortunately, the right began doing it.
In a carefully choreographed scheme to strip American citizens of our power and our rights, we the people have become victims of the deep state's con game.
And he says, you know, when you get a con game, besides laying the foundation for an illusion and an approach, Making you feel like you've got a vested income and the outcome of all of this.
You know, there is a very familiar pattern to a con game, a confidence game.
He says, in this particular con game, every candidate dangled before us as some form of a political savior.
Whether it's Trump or Lala, all of them part of a long-running elaborate scam intended to persuade us that despite all appearances to the contrary, we live in a constitutional republic.
But no matter who wins this election, we will all still be prisoners of the deep state.
Because government continues to expand.
And as it expands, liberty shrinks.
Yet despite what some may think, the Constitution is not a magical incantation against government wrongdoing.
Indeed, it is only as effective as those who abide by it.
That's why I say we've got people like Mark Levin...
Who wrote a book, made a lot of money, saying, here's some constitutional amendments I've got that are going to fix everything.
I was like, no, it's not. They don't fix anything.
First of all, who would be putting that into place?
It would be the same people who won't obey the Constitution they've got right now.
I mean, who's going to go to this Constitutional Convention?
It's going to be the politicians and stuff of the both major parties.
They won't abide by this Constitution.
What makes you think that they would abide by another Constitution if you put something in there to balance the budget?
They'll ignore it. The problem is not the flawed constitution.
The problem is the flawed politicians and the fact that we don't hold them responsible to obey it.
And so all a constitutional convention is going to do is it's going to open up a process by which these people who refuse to obey the constitution Unfortunately,
the courts and the police have meshed their thinking to such an extent that anything goes when it is done in the name of national security, or fighting crime, or fighting terrorism, or a pandemic, or fighting climate change, and so forth. This is why that court decision, Fifth Circuit court decision about geofencing, was good.
That judge took on that argument head-on.
I said, yeah, I know. That was a legitimate thing.
These are people who committed a violent robbery.
And it's going to make it harder for the police to do that.
But we don't want the police to act in a criminal way.
That would be even worse.
Evangelical Christians, seduced by the electoral promises of power and religious domination, have become yet another tool in the politician's toolbox.
This is exactly what theologian Francis Schaeffer warned against.
He said, we must not confuse the kingdom of God with our country.
To say it another way, we should not wrap Christianity in our national flag.
Absolutely. And as a matter of fact, I want to give you a good example of this.
When we look at what is happening in our country...
A lot of people are lining up one side or the other over the abortion issue.
And I believe that that is a very important issue.
You know that if you listen to me.
But I also don't trust the politicians to do anything about it.
And I also don't trust them to do the right thing about any number of issues.
Lala Harris is running for freedom.
Even Reason Magazine says...
Does that mean anything more than just abortion?
No, it never has.
Even they caught on to what I've been saying for the longest time.
That when she talks about freedom of choice, she's pro-choice.
The only thing that she is pro-choice about is killing babies.
And so that means that you've got people like John MacArthur.
This is going back now to the last election four years ago.
September of 2020.
What was happening in September 2020?
Well, we had had two weeks of lockdown to flatten the cave since the middle of March.
So, we had had, at that point in time, six weeks.
The two weeks had turned into six weeks, and there was no end in sight.
And as a matter of fact, in California, where MacArthur's church was, in September, well, in July, Newsom did a second round of lockdowns.
And what he did was he said, well, we're going to allow people to show up to church.
We're going to have limits as to the number of people that can be in any public building or whatever.
And you have to wear masks and you can't sing and all the rest of the stuff.
And so at that point in time, MacArthur's church, which had complied with it for the first four months, said, we're not going to do that anymore.
And so then two months later, in September, as the election is coming up in just a couple of months, John MacArthur had a conversation with Donald Trump on the phone.
MacArthur, at the time, again, was in a legal battle, which, by the way, they ultimately prevailed.
They had massive fines put against them, and many other churches did as well.
They weren't the only ones in California that had fines put against them.
They escrowed those fines, but they had to put them up and put them away into a fund, just in case they lost while the court case worked its way through.
But again, this was, he said at the time, he said, true believers in 2020, true believers will vote for Trump.
Because we can't affirm abortion and trans-activism.
Well, certainly I understand these issues are things that Christians cannot affirm.
But when you look at trans-activism, Trump was the one who was affirming trans-activism, saying we need to have men in my beauty contests.
He affirmed it in 2020.
He was selling rainbow clothing.
He was doing DEI promotions.
He got Rick Grinnell, who appeared to be qualified, unlike a lot of these people that have been brought in with the Biden administration.
And yet, Rick Grinnell didn't talk about his qualifications to be DNI. Instead, he talked about the fact that he was LGBT. Why?
Why is that more important than his ability to do the job?
And again, Melania was bragging at the same time.
Saying Trump was the first president to come into office supporting homosexual marriage.
Because even Obama didn't when he got elected.
In an interview, MacArthur discussed a phone conversation that he had with Trump over this litigation.
He said he called me after the Sunday morning service and he was very gracious.
He said, I just want to thank you for taking a stand.
Church is essential, said Trump.
Oh, it is? I thought it was non-essential.
I thought it was like all of these main street businesses that you called non-essential while you kept Walmart open.
Look, the money was coming from Trump.
He was paying these people.
They laid that out, going back to the original germ game, Dark Winter, and they passed the legislation back around 9-11, as I've talked about so many times.
It was all there to have the states do it.
And to have the federal government provide the money, and it was according to what they had planned and practiced for 20 years.
Trump executed it to a T. The responsibility, the buck, stops with him.
But the financing, that buck, began with him.
But MacArthur said he explained that the president had talked a little bit about why, certainly from a biblical standpoint, Christians could not vote Democratic.
MacArthur said there's no way a Christian can affirm the slaughter of babies.
Homosexual activity, homosexual marriage, or any kind of gross immorality.
And yet Trump, guilty himself of gross immorality.
Trump, supporting homosexual marriage, coming in with that.
Bragging about all of these things, as a matter of fact.
Bragging about his personal immorality.
Bragging about his support of what MacArthur says no Christian can support.
No way could we stand behind a candidate who was affirming transgender behavior.
But MacArthur did.
Which, of course, is really the reprobate mind of Romans 1, he said.
He told Trump that abortion and LGBT matters aren't even political of us, but rather these things are biblical.
These things are laid down by the Word of God.
I said to Trump, any real true believer is going to be on your side in this election.
Because it's not just an individual, it's an entire set of policies that Christians cannot in any way affirm.
Well, let me just say that I do agree with that.
The problem is that MacArthur is absolutely blind to or chooses not to look at the fact that Trump did affirm all of those things.
Now, you can vote for whoever you want.
I'm just saying I will not vote for either Lala or Donnie.
Because they have both affirmed all of the things that he said a Christian cannot affirm.
And I will not affirm this by voting for either one of them.
If there's not another alternative on the ballot, and I'm not talking about RFK Jr.
either, if there's not another alternative there, I won't be voting.
I will not vote for this stuff.
I will not vote for Trump.
He murdered people, not just babies.
He murdered adults.
He sent this poison around the world.
He paid for governors.
Democrat and Republican to do all this stuff.
So, again, they eventually won their lawsuit with California.
And, you know, it's not just MacArthur who was saying, we absolutely have to, and he said that in 2020, we must support fill in the blank.
But we've also got to have, it's one of the reasons why I wanted to cover this, We now also have Matt Walsh, who is saying that Christians must vote for Trump.
I think we need to push back on this.
Sorry about that. No guarantee to free speech on misinformation or hate speech, and especially around our democracy.
Yeah, of course, that's what he says.
Another reason not to vote for these people.
But here's what Matt Walsh has to say.
It's very simple. Every American who considers himself conservative or Christian Has a moral obligation to vote against Kamala Harris.
This is a bad person.
And she is part of a regime, more importantly, that has very bad, very evil designs for this country.
She wants to kill babies.
Okay, up to the moment of birth.
That's what these people believe in.
Fully born infants.
She wants to destroy our national sovereignty.
I think Trump killed people throughout the entire life.
...into an ideology of self-harm and confusion.
These are the people who want to release violent criminals onto the streets.
You know, to continue to destroy our communities.
And in every other sense, they are actively working against everything we claim to stand for.
So whatever you think of Trump, I mean, even if you have the most unflattering view of him that a reasonable person could possibly have.
How about a mass murderer?
How about that, Matt? He's not part of that agenda.
He's part of the mass murder agenda.
And if you are voting for that agenda...
He's part of the globalist agenda.
Like, I can't listen to any more of this stuff.
These people make me so angry.
I tell you what. You know, come on.
I can't vote for Lala.
He's right. And I can't vote for a mass-murdering traitor, backstabbing traitor like Donald Trump.
These people want you to believe that he's on your side.
Nothing could be further from the truth.
We're going to take a quick break and we'll come back.
Let me calm down here.
We'll be right back.
so
Making sense. Common again.
You're listening to The David Knight Show.
I'm Rockfin.
Dougalug, thank you very much for the tip, and thank you for the reminder.
He says, thank you, David. Tell everybody to hit the like button, and that really does help us.
If you can hit that like button, it's difficult to get visibility for this program.
Because we have, we talk about things I don't like.
And so, again, if you like the show, please hit the like button.
And please share it.
Let's do talk about Lala, for example.
I spoke the other day about a business owner who had two bars and was kicked out of them by Tim Walls in Minnesota.
And had to go to another state to open up a business so she could work.
And now there's another story.
This one's from WND. Wrecked my life.
Says a grandmother who was sent to jail by him over his lockdown tyranny.
I showed you yesterday the paintball shooting of people on their porch.
These people are unhinged.
Absolutely unhinged. But here's another thing, right?
As Trump was writing the checks for governors like this, you know, when Walls did stuff like this, when Newsom or Nuisance did stuff like this, Why didn't Trump say, if you do that, I'm going to stop the money?
Because Trump knows.
Trump said, if the government does such and such, if they put boys in the girls' bathroom, I'm going to stop the money.
And of course, Obama had, before that, had said, if you don't put boys in the girls' bathroom, I'm going to stop the money.
That's how they get people to do things.
That's how they get around people.
The restrictions of the Tenth Amendment, they don't have the legal authority to do it.
Instead, they use financial incentives.
In the same way that Jeff Sessions didn't have the authority to stop the legalization of marijuana for medical uses or even for recreational uses in various states because they had never bothered to pass a constitutional amendment like they did with alcohol, so they didn't have the authority to do it.
Instead, what he did was he offered them a partnership if they would steal property from people, civil asset forfeiture and other things like that.
It's always about the money.
So the financial strings attached to it.
And so Trump continued to fund Tim Walz as he was wrecking people's lives.
And then what has the GOP done to stop this from ever happening again?
Nothing. They don't even speak against it.
The conservative press speaks against it.
But the GOP in Congress doesn't do anything to stop any of this from happening again.
Nothing. They stood idly by, and we're talking about GOP legislatures in Washington as well as in different states stood by while in many cases even a Republican governor was doing this stuff and did nothing.
And they haven't done anything now that it's on pause.
They've not done anything to keep them from starting it back up again.
Minnesota grandmother who was jailed by Walls said this man would like to take your rights away.
He will take your rights away because that's what happened to me.
And it could happen to anybody.
What happened to me will happen to you, she said.
Her name is Lisa Hansen.
She formerly owned a wine and coffee bistro.
She's now talking about Walls' lockdown agenda that resulted in her being thrown in jail for 60 days.
She said he essentially shut down and destroyed my small business.
As you said, Americans don't want tyranny at this level.
There are various state-level orders that were often political, says Fox News, but they say various state-level orders regarding the China-originated virus.
You see? The cover-up.
Let's tell everybody it was real.
And let's tell everybody that it was China, so we can go to war with China.
That's another reason we should go to war with them.
They unleashed this...
This cootie thing on us.
We got Chinese cooties all over us.
And all of our politicians had no choice but to mask us up, have us do all these Simon Says rules, stay six feet apart, walk in the line, do this, can't go to a restaurant, can't do any of this.
That was the China cooties that they gave us.
At the time, the so-called pandemic was in full swing in 2020.
Hanson said the interchange wine and coffee bistro that she ran It had been open for eight years.
And of course, you know, five years is usually the failure rate for a new business.
If you can make it past five years, you usually know what you're doing.
The Minnesota grandma was sentenced to 90 days in prison for violating Walls' tyranny.
She said she initially complied with his orders that the business close, even though his demands always exempted big box stores.
Liquor stores and even strip clubs.
Well, because we know that a Lala and Walls administration is going to be very much like the Biden administration.
I mean, this tranny is a big fan of Tim.
You have said that Governor Walls has shown up.
This is Lieutenant Governor, by the way, on the right.
You are the first out transgender legislator in Minnesota.
No, I'm sorry. That's not Lieutenant Governor.
Expand on it a little bit.
Yes, of course. You know, we elected 11 new LGBTQ members to the House two years ago and created the Queer Caucus, and I started pushing the importance of the trans refuge bill that I carried.
He was always right there.
He understood that this is a way for us to help community members, to help people who are different.
Yeah, and the lieutenant governor looks very similar to that guy.
Who's dressed up as a woman.
I imagine if there's any conservatives left in their arm, because one of them contacted us with a show.
But anybody that's not radical left like this, they're probably praying that Tim doesn't go to Washington so they don't get the lieutenant governor that's waiting right there behind him.
Anyway, eventually she said, he shut down a lot of mom and pop shops.
That's the whole point. That's what was non-essential.
These folks were just trying to make a living and to provide a great product and a great service.
In contrast, he allowed big box stores to stay open.
That's what Trump did. The people on Wall Street, that's all they care about.
You, on the other hand, operating in a real competitive free market on Main Street.
You're not on Wall Street. You're not competing on Wall Street.
You don't have unlimited amounts of money.
That are funded for the people on Wall Street.
No, you have to actually try to provide a better product at a better price.
Shut them down. They're not essential.
Eventually, she reopened her business because she was going to go out of business anyway.
She was convicted of a misdemeanor charge, got 90 days in jail and a $1,000 fine.
She said, this is the story that America needs to hear.
That Tim Walls is not some cuddly, joyful coach.
Like all the things that the mainstream media is calling him right now.
She said she missed a Christmas with her family.
She missed her wedding anniversary.
And she missed the birth of a grandchild.
I can never have that time back.
That time was stolen from me.
My business was destroyed.
My business is gone. After everything that happened, Tim Walls and State Attorney General Keith Ellison destroyed my business and wrecked my life.
I've heard some people say that Walls is a really nice guy.
Yeah, well, he's not.
Take my word for it. Through this whole process, she said, I've gotten to know other people and similar things have happened to them when they were trying to run their business and trying to survive.
And she said, mostly women, by the way.
So Tim Walls and Lala Harris and Keith Ellison really like to go after women.
They're bullies. And they like to go after women and torment and destroy women's lives.
This is what they've done in the state of Minnesota.
So let America know you don't want Tim Walz as Vice President.
And of course, they're not going to talk about DeWine in Ohio, the Republican governor.
They're not going to talk about his collaborators like Vivek Ramaswamy.
And certainly not talk about Trump and the GOP in Congress.
He really did step outside of statutory law, but even more important, constitutional law, because we have that right to be able to run our business and to conduct our lives as we see fit, and staying within the rule of law.
And of course, laws didn't stay in the rule of law.
None of these governors did. They used executive orders.
They used martial law, which is not law at all.
Everybody kept saying, where's the law that allows you to do this?
Well, they didn't want one.
When we look at Lala Harris, it's all about reparations and all the rest of this stuff.
And, of course, she's looking at $24 trillion in reparations.
Does she get the reparations or does she pay them?
Because her father bragged about owning slaves in Jamaica and her mother is Indian.
Well, she's hiding from interviews.
It's now 25 days.
Uh, since she was anointed without any votes by the Democrat Party, and she doesn't want to talk to the press.
As a matter of fact, the last time that she was questioned in a news conference alone was eight months ago, December 2nd.
The Harris campaign denied a request from Time Magazine that was putting her on the cover.
Even though they're putting her on the cover, she wouldn't do an interview with him.
And why should she, right?
I mean, they're going to do a puff piece anyway.
They've already decided that they're going to make it a hagiography.
Why does she need to talk to them?
Harris pledged last week to schedule only one interview before the end of this month, although it's unclear whether the interview will take place the last three weeks of August or if it'll take place before August ends.
I mean, which month is she talking about?
The mainstream media needs to stop being complicit with her lies and demand answers.
Said a Trump campaign, but of course, they're not going to get it.
When they asked the Lala campaign manager, the Lala campaign manager just laughed when asked why she hasn't had any press conferences.
Because, again, it's the laughing liars of Lala.
That's some nice alliteration there.
That's what they should probably call the campaign managers for Lala.
They just laugh about it.
They're even asked by Acosta, you know, when are you going to have, why hasn't she had a press conference?
Michael Tyler, her communications director, laughed.
Because that's what his boss does, laughs.
Babylon Bee says, Biden is really bummed to realize that all he had to do to stay in the race was to not show up to the debate.
And to never speak to reporters ever again.
That's exactly what she did.
We've got Tulsi Gabbard.
Calling her an empty suit.
Actually, an empty pants suit would be more accurate, but she is an empty suit for sure.
Babylon Bee. Quoting Biden supposedly.
Did that broad just get my place, you know, the thing?
By not talking to the press?
Oh, come on, Jack.
I only had one job and I blew it.
Well, anyway. But she finally has a policy proposal.
And it is price controls against price gouging by people selling food.
Well, you know, I had a listener who sent me a piece out of Washington State.
And they're putting in universal basic income.
And what does the piece focus on?
It focuses on somebody buying food.
I have to have this help in order to buy food.
Universal basic income is just welfare, but it's welfare for everybody. It's welfare connected to the technocrat plan to take everybody's job and to put us on welfare, to make sure that we own nothing, to make us completely dependent on government, because that's what all welfare programs have always done. They claim that they're there to help people, but they've always made people dependent.
They turn us into trained pets. And so, La La says, well, we've got to, we've got, I'm gonna present a plan to ban price gouging by food suppliers.
But, you know, you've got Biden and the EU and all the rest of them talking about how they want to make it impossible for us to have meat and dairy.
And of course, I guess that also includes chicken and eggs since they've spent the last couple of years culling as many chickens as they can.
Now, mass culling of cows is what they're trying to line up.
Why are they PCR testing milk for bird flu and meat for bird flu?
I mean, they're not even testing the eggs for bird flu.
This is an announced agenda that they want to do.
There's a big difference. Competitive markets and excessive prices unrelated to the cost of doing business.
Well, you're increasing energy prices.
You're doing everything you can to make it difficult.
The USDA, the FDA are making everything difficult for people to compete and to raise food.
And when you talk about a competitive market, are you talking about something like what Tyson has done with this monopoly of chicken?
Heavily connected to the Democrat Party, heavily connected to the Clintons?
Directly addressing the soaring meat prices, Harris will focus on corporate consolidation in that market as one reason meat prices are so high.
Well, they put a spike into it with their policies, with their green policies.
In the 1970s, as this article from Mises Institute, Mises.org, talks about Nixon's price controls.
And they said, well, he's only going to do it for 90 days, but of course it lasted for a year and a half.
And although it was a complete failure in terms of getting inflation under control, he was perceived by the public as having, quote, done something.
I say that all the time when Hillary Clinton was trying to take over health care.
And you go to these meetings, and where I lived, it was a completely radical Democrat district focused around University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
And all these people would say, well, you know, I don't know.
It's just too expensive. Healthcare is just too expensive.
And we've got to do something. I don't know what we need to do, but we need to do something.
I said, well, maybe you need to look to see if that bucket has water in it or if it's got gasoline in it.
And by the way, if it's got water in it, it's going to be...
That's not the right thing you want to use in some fires anyway.
By early 1973, many producers that endured price controls for 18 months, the U.S. Senate reported that price controls had caused a breakdown in energy production and distribution because that was the thing that they were trying to focus on.
They said, well, it's energy prices.
Fuel shortages were far more extensive than anticipated.
So if she puts price control on food, it's going to only exacerbate the condition.
So... We've had this rodeo before, but of course, it's been 50 years, people, for the most part, don't remember the failures of Richard Nixon.
They just saw him again when he was running for re-election as a president who was trying to do something.
Just like Trump, you know, he was trying to do something.
He didn't know what he was doing, but, you know, give him an A for effort type of thing.
No, they knew. To this day, when critics of the bad old days of the 1970s talk about stagflation and the economic malaise of the era, critics usually only mention Jimmy Carter, who was saddled with the effects of the Nixon experiment.
Nixon, who crippled the economy in the 1970s with his monetary inflation, with his price controls, and of course, you know, playing the games with gold that he did as well, because that was all tied together.
And so this author Mises said, The price control plan is nothing more than a cynical ploy to get Harris elected.
And I say cynical, he said at this point, because it's beyond naive to think that they are only pushing for price controls because they have good intentions and are economically illiterate.
They know, they just don't care.
Like Nixon. Price controls are a political policy.
Impoverishing economic effects are just collateral damage.
Now, all of that, is not all of that true with the pandemic stuff and the lockdowns and everything else?
It was not medical. I can't excuse the Republicans for their participation in this, saying that they were just illiterate and stupid.
No, the people who continue to vote for them are stupid and illiterate.
They knew what they were doing, and they considered mainstream America, Main Street small businesses to be nothing but collateral damage, and they were not essential.
So, again, people are calling her communist, and they're right.
It is communism. Just call her Kamilala.
Kamala. Well, let's call her Kamilala, because that's really what this is all about.
Proposing the first ever federal ban on, quote, corporate price gouging in the food and grocery industries, unquote.
Well, maybe, you know, the solution would be to help small businesses by taking off the regulations on them.
That are trying to put them out of business.
Let's have some competition in here.
Let's stop the USDA from culling livestock.
So the Heritage Foundation said, well, here's your price-gouging narrative.
Average costs paid by businesses have risen just as much as the costs charged to consumers.
If businesses are being greedy, they're doing it all wrong.
Now, this is all a bunch of just virtue signaling.
There is absolutely no way that they're going to be able to tie this down.
But, again, I want to take a quick break before we get our guest on.
We have Jack Lawson, who's going to be joining us.
And before I have him come on, I want to talk about what is going on with...
Money and taxes and the policy statements that are being made, even by conservatives and by libertarians, will be right back.
They're doing what? In the place they named after me?
Good thing I have the David Knight Show to keep me informed on the plots of these traitors.
Making sense common again.
This is the David Knight Show.
I'm Roxanne. Thank you, Dustin Helm and Mark C. Thank you, both of you, for the tip.
I appreciate that. Before we get into the money, just kind of as a side issue, since we're talking about Bitcoin, one person did a FOIA request, and I thought this was kind of interesting, did a FOIA request for the FBI, trying to get information about the creator of Bitcoin,
And Satoshi Nakamoto, and the response that he got from them about Satoshi, they said, well, Satoshi is a third-party individual.
He said, that's interesting that they would say that.
He said, I submitted this as a broad general subject request with full context.
So it is the Bureau, and not me, that is asserting that this is an individual.
And he also says that when they use the phrase third-party individual, they are not confirming or denying any records that they might have.
But he said typically this is their answer if anybody makes a FOIA request regarding a non-U.S. person.
So, anyway, he thinks that because of that, that there is actually somebody by the name or was somebody by the name of Satoshi Nakamura or whatever.
Don Jr., by the way, is also saying he's going to launch a crypto platform so that he can take on the banks.
Take on the banks.
Well, that's an interesting perspective on this.
Why is your dad running for president?
Does he not want to take on the banks?
What about Steve Mnuchin and the Goldman Sachs bankers that he filled his cabinet with?
What about the conspiring between Steve Mnuchin and Jared to set up CBDC? What about if you want to take on the banks?
Why didn't he just audit the Fed?
No, he's not going to do that, just like he won't release the JFK files.
It's all kind of smoke and mirrors, and the real purpose of the Trump family is to get rich.
But carving out a tax cut just for tips doesn't make sense.
Even when Lala Harris does it, it doesn't make any more sense, says Reason Magazine, Reason.com.
And as I said before, it is truly disgusting and annoying to see...
Conservatives and Libertarians and the Office of Management and Budget, as soon as somebody talks about having a tax cut, even for people who are working as waitresses, we can't have that.
Let's look at the budgetary concerns that are going to come out of that.
They don't have any budgetary concerns when it comes to wars or when it comes to their green agenda.
None of that. It's just blank checks everywhere.
But hey, if you do a little bit of a tax reduction...
All these people turn into Bernie Sanders.
You can't cut the taxes.
They're looting the treasury, right?
So Reason says, this is a poorly thought out idea, no matter whose campaign is pushing it.
As I wrote shortly after Trump floated this in June, exempting pips from income taxes would increase the deficit.
As I said, I can give you 35 trillion reasons why the deficit doesn't matter.
Why are they talking about it now?
I mean, you know, the purpose of government isn't to make their life easy.
You know, these people need to do the hard thing.
They need to cut some spending, get it in line, instead of continually sending us more bills or kicking the can down the road.
So he says, well, this doesn't do much to help the majority of Americans or to grow the economy.
You see, libertarians are now even sounding like Democrat demagogues.
Well, what is the purpose of government?
Is it to have freedom, or is it to manage the economy, grow the economy?
That's what reason is telling you.
And they quote a senior policy analyst at the Tax Foundation.
He says, well, you know, let's talk about a restaurant.
We've got the cashier who's working here, and we've got the waitress who's working here.
And let's say they both make exactly the same amount of money.
They make $34,000 a year.
But the waitress gets half of it in tips.
Well, if you get rid of the tax on tips, that means that the cashier who is making $34,000 a year, non-tip based, will pay $2,000 in taxes, and the waitress will only pay $600 in taxes.
That's not fair, they say.
You see, that's why I say they sound like Democrats.
Well, here's what's fair.
Let's get rid of the taxes on both of them.
Let's get rid of the income tax on all of us.
Why doesn't Reason Magazine talk about abolishing the income tax?
I can give you 35 trillion reasons why we should abolish the income tax.
Because they don't care what the deficit is.
So why are they taxing us?
The income tax has never come close to paying for all of the taxes.
And the income taxes are only a small part of that pie.
It's never come close to paying what they spend.
And so why continue on with this?
Well, I know why, and you do too, because they want to make sure that we don't have any discretionary income.
So they can use it as a trap for people.
The spending is a problem.
Why is the libertarian saying this?
They've now taken the mantle of fairness to argue for a continuation of the income tax.
He says, as a libertarian, it pains me to say this.
Yeah, it pains me to hear it.
I want people to have less of their income consumed by their federal taxes.
Exempting taxes would accomplish that.
But the IRS tax data shows that about 6.1 million Americans would get to keep about $38 billion in income that would otherwise have been taxed away.
And we can't afford in Washington to lose that revenue from these waiters and waitresses and laborers everywhere.
Really? Yeah.
Too bad we don't have a Jefferson who said as he began his second term, we eliminated useless offices in my first term, and as a result we were able to lower taxes so that we don't have any internal taxes in our country.
And he said, what laborer, what farmer, what mechanic knows the tax man?
None. None.
Why can't we even aspire to that as a As a political goal.
No, we're not going to do that. As a matter of fact, they go on in another article at Reason, attacking the idea that they would even adjust the taxes on Social Security, to not have taxes charged on Social Security.
And as I said before, when this was put out by Trump, I said, do you realize that this hasn't changed in 40 years?
They haven't indexed it to inflation.
In 1984, if you made more than, it's just under $25,000.
And if you made more than that, and that was the median family income in 1984, about $25,000.
If you made more than the median family income, then they would start taxing away your Social Security payments.
Well, they haven't changed that number in 40 years, except we've had inflation, and so now the median family income is three times that.
Which means that if you make more than one-third of the median family income, they start taking away your Social Security tax.
First of all, at the very least, couldn't Reason Magazine, the Libertarians, couldn't they at least argue that we shouldn't be taxed on inflation like that?
Because that's what that amounts to.
Can't you at least index that if you think that's a reasonable thing to do?
Can't you at least index that?
But better yet, why should we be taxed twice?
It truly is amazing to see this.
These small policy changes that are there, I don't think will ever be instituted.
Because you'll have the, even if Trump were to get elected, or Lala were to get elected, you're going to have these statist organizations like Reason, Cato, the Libertarians, and the Heritage Foundation, the biggest conservative think tank.
They're going to be there.
Pushing against this just like they were pushing back against stopping the censorship on social media by these big tech companies.
It's just absolutely amazing.
People need to wake up and look at these organizations that are supposedly fighting for the market and for freedom and for the Second Amendment and all the rest of the stuff.
You need to look at what they actually do.
Because in many cases, they're actually opposing what we want to do.
Before we go to break, I just want to remind you that if you want to get outside of this crazy system, and you need to get outside of the system that's coming after you for CBDC and IDs and all the rest of this stuff, that wants to know and track everything about you, think about trying to get some money outside of their system, And if you go to Tony Arterman's Wise Wolf Gold, you can get there with davidknight.gold.
You can buy gold or silver, small or large amounts, and if you want to start accumulating it on a regular basis, he set up Wolfpack, and you can get group buying discounts.
As a part of that group, you get that discount, and you can decide on a monthly basis how much you want to set aside to start getting out of this system, And to start preserving your wealth.
As I said yesterday, take a look.
Not at the price of gold, but take a look at the price of things in gold.
As we talked about yesterday, many commodities or activities or traveling or food or any of these types of things.
Look at the price in gold, and you'll see that it is a far better measure of the wealth protection than looking at these constantly varying currencies in different countries, including the United States.
Okay, we're going to take a quick break, and we'll be right back with Jack Lawson of CivilDefenseManual.com.
♪♪
Defending the American Dream.
You're listening to The David Knight Show.
Well, welcome back. And joining us now is Jack Lawson of CivilDefenseManual.com.
And this is what the Civil Defense Manuals look like, as a matter of fact.
Red and green. And if you want to know how to survive and how to thrive and how to protect your family, this is like a Christmas present.
These red and green volumes are Volume 1 and Volume 2.
He only sells it. And physical form, because one of the key things that's a threat to us is the infrastructure of the Internet and power and things like that.
One of the key things that you're going to need to have this stuff is when you lose the Internet and you lose power.
And so he talks about that and many other things.
Joining us now is Jack Lawson.
Good to have you on, Jack. Thanks for coming on.
It's always good to be on your show, David.
Everybody in the United States.
That's got an adult mind should be listening to you every morning.
What you say is so common sense.
I was laughing thinking about you talking about the government and expenditure.
That reminds me of a girlfriend I had before I got married.
She almost made the statement, it's a joke, but she almost made the statement to me, how can I be overdrawn?
I've still got checks in my checkbook.
And I thought, don't you balance your checkbook?
How do you balance your checkbook?
Is she working for the Congress or the Federal Reserve now?
Probably the Federal Reserve.
She's one of the strategists.
Anyway, lots of checks.
It gets crazier by the day.
That's right. One of the things that we're looking at now, of course, the WHO, we all know that there's another pandemic that they're going to try to pull on us.
And the question is, you know, what are we going to do about it?
Is it going to be bird flu? Or maybe it's going to be MPOX. You know, that's their thing this last week.
And so, you know, they're talking about an international emergency and an emergency in Africa and all the rest of the stuff.
How do we survive?
Infectious disease and things like that in your civil defense manual.
What do you tell people about that?
Yeah, David, first I'd like to just give a brief overview of my background.
I am not really highly formally educated.
I got a couple, probably three years of university.
In a family that's full of PhDs and masters and most of them can't tie their shoes, I can tie my shoes.
The issue is I was on one of the largest police boards in the nation.
Judging police officers, shooting, using deadly force.
I was in the American Air Force at one period of time for four years.
I had a job there as an electronics technician.
One of my parts of that was arming and disarming the nuclear weapon.
Every one of the missiles I worked on were nuclear tipped.
It was an air defense system.
I went from that, got out, walked around the world with a backpack, whatever.
I ended up in Africa, and I was in a foreign legion anti-terrorist unit for two and a half I was involved in a lot of the activities with this.
I had a relationship through that with the ABC agencies, so to speak, not just America and other ones.
So, anyway, taking all that and $6.95, I think you told me it was no longer $4.95 at Starbucks to get a coffee at $6.95.
Somebody told me that.
Yeah, it'd be somebody besides me.
I don't go to Starbucks. I don't either.
I don't know what it is, but it's not coffee.
No, somebody told me that, and I said, well, $6.95, and my background will get you a cup of coffee.
In reality, though, it's given me a lot of experiences...
that a lot of people don't have.
In this book, this book is really, in a way, it's mistitled.
It's called The Civil Defense Manual.
It's more than just a civil defense manual.
It is a survival book.
I've got everything under the sun in there that I've touched on, that people can look at, they will learn things.
I have a section on pandemic.
And the reason I have a section on pandemic is because I think that is a major bioweapon being used by political directors.
people that are running this whole show.
And it's an incredible weapon, along with food and water.
People don't think of these things as weapons, but I believe we have...
Another pandemic coming, and I'll make it real short.
In this book, you'll see a recipe, very simple, you can buy this on the internet, for monkeypox.
Now, the poxes, call pox, monkeypox, smallpox.
Smallpox is extremely restricted.
As far as I know, there's no testing done outside of the federal government.
Poxes are variola major and variola minor.
There's two types. But the bottom line is, I've got something in there that will cure this.
And when I say cure it, you have to get it first.
You've got to survive the pustules.
But the Mi'kmaq and Cree Indians used this during the French and Indian Wars.
British artillery surgeons, French surgeons wrote glowing reports about this, how pustules had formed on the soldiers, and the old Mi'kmaq Indian women would go and put this Saracena purpurea.
It's a Venus flytrap found up in Quebec.
In the swampland.
And it would take the oil from this, put it on the pustule, and it would not only kill what's in the pustule, it would give your body immunity.
You had to survive to this point, though.
And they wrote glowing reports on it, because smallpox is very, very deadly.
It still is.
But there's different types of poxes.
I just get into a lot of this, and the reason I do, I also have first-hand experience in Africa with...
Typhus, dysentery.
Those are what they call the twin sisters of poor sanitation.
Typhus, dysentery.
And there's a third one that should be a close cousin, and that's cholera.
I've seen the epidemics.
I've seen the cordoned areas.
I imagine I was around somebody.
I was lucky I didn't catch it.
My wife is from Africa.
She's British. And when this COVID came out, She laughed at it.
Didn't come from COVID. It came from comorbidity issues.
If you had high blood pressure, if you had kidney problems, this would kill you.
And so were their ventilators and their remdesivir.
Oh my God, that is astounding.
I read about a doctor in a hospital in Chicago.
I had a patient in there.
It just happened to be a black guy that was really sick.
Dying. He was probably within two hours of dying.
The doctor went to the pharmacy and got what asthmatics use.
It was called Sportacort.
It was a spray inhaler.
And he forced it down this guy's throat.
And six days later...
That man that would have been dead walked out of that hospital.
They fired the doctor.
Yeah, exactly. That's right.
They fired the doctor for going outside of hospital protocol.
Put a ventilator on him and kill him?
No. He used something.
Yeah, I've reported a pulmonologist came out and said, you know, he had decades of experience in pulmonology, and he said, we've never done a ventilator intubation with people as a means of treatment, and all the time I've been working as a pulmonologist.
He goes, what is this about? It was really set up, I think, to kill people.
And it was set up to make sure that if anybody got outside of the agenda, it's not just getting outside of the hospital's protocol, but it's getting outside of the agenda of getting everybody locked down until the vaccine comes.
That's the key thing, I think.
How do we protect ourselves from the government when they come around with the needles and the swabs and all the rest of the stuff that could be the biological weapon?
Well, if people can't see through this COVID thing, they're looking at the wrong information.
I mean, we live in a world where we have massive amounts of input, audio, visual.
If they are not understanding that, just like happened to a friend of ours, 33 years old, didn't drink, didn't smoke, didn't do any drugs, went to sleep on a Tuesday night, Room temperature the next morning.
He died. Left three kids.
Left a beautiful wife.
Why? Well, the mother-in-law was hounding everybody in the family.
Get the COVID shot.
Get the COVID shot. Of course, she's a raving liberal.
And her husband is one of the finest people I've ever met.
But she virtually harangued everybody into getting the shot.
Don't come to our house unless you've got the COVID shot.
Well... They got the COVID shot, and now it's unfortunate.
I had big tears in my eyes for this guy.
He was a nice, just a fine human being, but they can't see this.
They better resist this next one.
That's all I can say. That's right.
And going back and looking at it, as they looked at the different lots, because that was one of the things that they wanted to keep track of, they wanted your personal information, whether you'd taken it or refused, and then the lot number.
Well, the lots, various lots, vary by a factor of over 30.
So your dosage could vary by a factor of 30.
That's one of the reasons why you're seeing some people dying right away, other people dying a couple of months down the road or having severe adverse effects, and other people not being affected by it at all.
The whole thing was a mass experiment on people.
That's why they wanted to keep track of the lot numbers so they could look to see.
They didn't do any tests of any of this stuff.
One of the reasons that you test is because you have to determine how much is too much of a dosage, how much is too little if it's a medication.
But that's what they were doing with this stuff.
It was just the most unbelievable thing I've ever seen in my life.
And so I guess the real key thing...
Is that, to me, if they declare a pandemic, I want to know how I can live in an off-grid, isolated way from them so that I'm not going to come in contact with the public health officials who are going to do everything they can to try to hit me with a bioweapon.
Well, I think it's going to go beyond that.
I think they're going to start using their massive amount of computer information and probably...
Free bank accounts.
Oh, yeah. There'll be a number of things that are done.
But if people do not resist this, they're looking for trouble.
This whole thing is designed, in my opinion, as a friend of mine who was in my commando unit in Africa.
A mutual friend of ours died.
He was a homicide detective in Florida.
And I talked to my friend, Ross, and I said, what happened?
Drops dead, his face into his food, on a Saturday night in front of his wife.
I feel so sorry for her.
He was a great guy, but he was our medic.
And my friend Ross...
He didn't get the shot.
He said, I thought this was something goofy from the beginning, because he's from Africa.
He's been through all this stuff.
And he saw all this, all he's blowing his horns about, get the shot, get the shot, and literally forcing people by peer pressure into getting this.
And he had an argument with our friend that died, and Our friend said, I know my medicine.
His father used to be a doctor, but I know my...
He was a good medic. He was a good man.
But he believed this stuff because they put enough science in it and enough force behind it from the government and everybody else they could get to pressure people.
And the guy was a weightlifter and fit like I am, and he...
He's not here anymore. He was 12 years younger than me.
A lot of times, it's the people who are involved in the medical community.
They really believe in this stuff, and they believe in the paradigms that have been told.
And we had a friend of ours, a very dear friend, very close to Karen as well.
I was a friend as well, and she worked in the medical field as a registered nurse, and she had breast cancer, and she absolutely...
Would not even consider anything that was alternative.
And it's like, you know, this is...
It's got a safe profile.
Why not try it? It's cheap.
It's safe. Why not give it a try?
You've got nothing to lose. But, shoot, no, I'm only going to do the official medical stuff there.
David, I went through this with the president of our Special Forces chapter.
He had cancer. I mean, the guy worked for 10 years in Afghanistan handling a lot of the IEDs and disarming them.
And they have depleted your brainium in them.
And this is something, once you get into your body, it just virtually never leaves you.
But he got cancer, a double mastectomy, had both his breasts removed, just got him reconstructed again so he doesn't look like a freak.
But he went totally to hyperbaric pressure chamber, and he went to something called a Riffus machine.
And he said they scheduled him for CAT scan to go in and get the rest of what they didn't take out.
Couldn't find anything. So we had a panel of doctors talking to them, and the doctors were saying, well, we did something right.
Oh, boy, he unloaded on them.
He said, you people are fools.
He said, you have got blinders on.
You didn't do anything. Well, we gave you chemotherapy.
You don't even read your records.
You gave me no chemotherapy.
Well, it must have been something else.
No, he said, I got rid of it.
And he's still, three years later, he's cancer-free to whatever degree.
I mean, he's still urinating what I call gold and silver.
He shows me a cup of these.
He passes these depleted uranium byproducts out that come out like gold and silver.
Wow. Droplets.
It's horrible. Oh, man.
That's amazing. Yeah, I had a friend of mine who was in the Army with tanks and...
He was talking about depleted uranium and stuff, and so many people have been harmed by that.
And, of course, they spread it all over the countryside, you know, the people who live in the country as well, but the soldiers are expendable.
They don't really care what happens to these people over a long period of time.
You know, you mentioned earlier food as a weapon.
independence on food and of course getting your food outside of the food supply as well.
But you know you've got a lot of stuff there about just just basic stuff and preparing foods that things that you can put together that are going to last a very long time and that you can put together very cheaply as well right.
Absolutely.
David, more than food, revolutions by history have always started from empty stomachs.
There's a new problem on the scene, and that is the water supply system.
Probably 85% of this country uses municipal water systems.
I don't know that percentage for sure.
I have been discussing this for years with people.
I finally had somebody give me an answer.
If you didn't have the chlorine tablets come to the city municipal water supply system, and the guy said they're trucked in daily, would you put water out?
Untreated water? He said no.
So people that are going to go to their tap and think, well, I'm hungry, but I'm going to get a drink of water...
They're going to turn their tap on.
Nothing's going to come out at some point.
So that's a danger.
Revolutions come from empty stomachs.
Total chaos and madness will come from people not having water.
I just saw something about a military base.
I'm trying to remember where it was, but it was a military base that was shut down because somebody attacked the water supply in a cyber attack.
I think I recall something.
If they shut down a military base with a cyber attack on the water treatment, they can do it to cities.
And, of course, we're seeing this, a lot of these types of attacks on our infrastructure, especially the water thing, there's just so many points of vulnerability.
And everything is on the Internet.
So everything is susceptible to attack from anywhere in the world.
That's the most amazing thing about it, David, people have to store water.
Just like food, I've got the rule of thumb, I've got a whole chapter in there on not only how to store water, and storing water is almost more complex than storing food long term.
But I show how you can do it.
It's quite simple. You need to get some 55-gallon blue barrels.
The least you can do is buy cases of water and stick them under a bed.
This sounds like hysteria.
But I've been through going without water.
And I tell you what, it's almost like the Indians used to say.
You rise from your body into the spirit world.
If you start looking at things, your mind is absolutely not functioning properly.
You're literally starting to go insane.
How long can you keep the water in those bottles before it gets stagnant?
I think you could probably keep most bottled water for a year.
I would check it.
It's very simple to check.
If they go to www.civildefensemanual.com, I have a whole chapter.
It's free to read.
Read it. Food.
I've got food on there.
I'm putting other things on there, but...
This is something that's critical for people to do.
I don't want a woman coming to my door with a child who's thirsty.
Because once you give your water, they know it's there.
She's going to go away and come back.
Eventually, you're going to have people coming back by force.
Now, we've addressed that situation in my neighborhood.
But the bottom line is...
People need to do this.
It's we are living and we're in a comfort zone that hasn't disturbed anybody yet.
As much as we don't like what we hear, we are still in a comfort zone.
Yes, we are not short of food.
We're not short of water.
We don't have a soldier sticking a gun up our nose and telling us to do this or that.
We don't right now have anybody trying to forcibly vaccinate us.
Uh, so we're in a comfort zone and people have to break loose from that and provide something.
It's like an insurance policy.
I feel like I'm preaching to the choir most of the time.
It's very hard to get this across to people.
No, it is good, and as you point out, at your website, CivilDefenseManual.com, you've got that chapter on water.
For free, and so people can see an example of how thorough you cover a topic there.
And as you point out, the number one issue is having fresh water, because that's the thing that's going to kill you first, not having any water.
Yeah, you've got to have potable water.
You've got to be able to treat it.
It's very simple. Most people have in their house what they need.
They've got a bathtub, put masking tape over the drain, fill the bathtub before the water goes off.
You've got water in your hot water heater, probably 30 to 40 gallons.
You've got a little bit of water in your tank on your toilet.
But outside of that, every person needs one gallon of water per one person for one day.
That is the minimum people need to survive on.
That's not going to allow you to bathe, but it's going to allow you to cook, drink some water, keep yourself hydrated.
Depending on the temperature, if it's a nice autumn or nice spring, you don't need it as much.
If it's cold, and I also go into cold weather survival in the book.
I myself didn't know this.
I know what it's like in hot weather to be without water.
You have to hydrate yourself.
Well, you have to drink more water when it's sub-zero to hydrate yourself.
If you don't do that, you will freeze to death.
Oh, that's interesting. Yeah.
Well, I didn't know it either.
Like antifreeze for your body.
Just about. Yeah, it's about the same principle to a degree even though water freezes, but if you don't have enough water in your body, you're making yourself susceptible to freezing.
So there's other things, you know.
Communications are very important.
They're important if you're going to work with a group of people to protect your houses.
I've got one of the best guys in the country.
He's written books on this.
He's got a whole communication chapter in there.
I've got how to organize your neighborhood for protection.
I have what I call the neighborhood protection plan.
I've got a Navy SEAL officer that...
He's a friend of mine, Matt Bracken, an extremely good author, very, very intelligent man.
He led SEAL teams in the Middle East.
He's written two of my chapters.
One of them, he has what he calls the CW2 cube.
By that cube, you can determine around what your surroundings are like, what the danger level is that you're living in.
And it's an incredible pictorial he's made.
He also wrote my chapter on night fighting around your house without having any infrared optics or anything like that.
This is stuff he learned as a SEAL officer and teaches this stuff.
There's a lot of other things.
Pemmican. People don't even know what it is.
Pemmican is a southern Canadian, northern borderline Cree and Mechmech.
Indian food that if you've got this stuff, you can live for a year off.
It's got everything you need.
Protein, carbohydrate, trace minerals, and it's pretty tasty if you make it properly.
I've got a recipe for pemmican in there.
You can make it in a cupcake tray.
It's very good.
It's got a shelf life that's almost indefinite.
That's super. Yeah, people can see not only the table of contents, but you've got a lot of bullet items in terms of putting together a neighborhood group, making sure that you do it in a smart way.
You know, the psychological issues that are involved there with groups as well as the government's paranoia about things.
You've got to be careful about both of those things when you put it together.
There we go. Travis has got the website up there.
People can see that.
Night fighting without night vision.
It shows that example there.
Water sources. And, of course, that chapter that is available there.
You talk about tactics.
And you mentioned the CW2 cube.
Is that what it was? Correct. That Matt Bracken had come up with.
Tell us a little bit about that.
Well, depending, and this gets into, people can call it racist or whatever they want, and it's ethnic phobia or whatever they want.
It's xenophobia.
The makeup of people around you has a direct bearing on the danger level, the ethnic and the racial makeup, and that goes for wealthy black people as well.
Depending if they've got a bunch of white trash living around them, there's going to be a danger to them.
If they have money and if they live in a good neighborhood, those are gonna be the first places people go to for food and water.
They're gonna go out of their areas.
They're gonna be stopping people on the freeways.
They're gonna be taking anything of value, but when it comes to water and it comes to food, look out.
If somebody's gotta feed their child, they're not gonna care very much about your life.
Your life is going to, instead of being sacrificed, it's gonna become literally valueless to them.
And we have too much of a mentality of that in this country.
I've told you before, I sat in the police board, our gang unit.
Nobody is allowed to pull their firearm.
It's a policy unless you have a deadly threat.
Well, our gang unit took that off.
Why? Because they were getting shot at by these gangbangers.
And so they had four of them in a room and they were asking them.
I saw the video on this.
What do you guys shoot us right away?
Well, hey, we're gamers.
We play video games.
If you don't shoot right away, you're dead.
So they had to change the policy to where these guys could have their weapon out, even though it wasn't an overt deadly threat, because that's what would happen.
And that's the mentality Americans have about shooting people.
It's a horrible thing.
To shoot somebody and think about it because it never leaves you.
But these people have got this knee-jerk mentality that that's what they've got to do.
Put their child crying, thirsty, In the mix of that thing, and you've got a problem.
And that's going to happen very quickly with just a couple of days when the supply chains are shut down.
We have these long supply chains.
We have even the most mundane things everywhere you've got connected to the Internet, and so people can tap into that.
I talk frequently to Gautri who does cyber security and he's constantly talking to me about how they're probing whoever it is, whether it's ransomware or whether it's criminals who are doing it or whether it's other state actors, they're constantly probing the infrastructure
Right. Right. Right. Yes, that's one of the things I don't like about technology.
If the trucks don't run and don't take chlorination tablets, if the grid goes down, the diesel generator that they use to pump water, even if you've got a gravity flow system in your neighborhood or your area, eventually the water's going to stop.
So, That, in conjunction with a myriad of issues, one of which I see is 3 billion people were hacked.
Social security numbers, information all over.
Yes. State actor from Iran?
I doubt it. From the Western globalists, I think so.
Another distraction. Everybody's checking to see if they've had accounts opened.
You know, it's a concern.
Bread and circuses.
It's all distraction.
I just watched that movie Gladiator the other night, and they were talking about the corrupt Senate.
Of course, they didn't have a Congress other than a Senate there.
They didn't have a House of Representatives, so we got a double whammy there.
But they were talking about the Senators.
Marcus Aurelius, the emperor who died, was trying to give the power back to people and get the corruption out.
We're going to have to go through a reset, I feel.
I don't want to sound pessimistic, but I think that people are going to have to see the reality of no food, no water happening.
What's going on in this country?
There's going to have to be some force of arms before this issue is over.
If there isn't, We've got Waltzing Kamala and Mr.
Waltz in there.
And that's going to be so sad.
But I'm not advocating people do anything other than have the family shotgun to protect their neighborhood and work with their neighbors.
There's issues that I get into from a military experience.
We had something called Drake shooting.
I show people how to do what's called skipping rounds.
The commando unit I was in used this extensively, and we're very, very effective.
But you skip a round, you literally turn a full metal jacket bullet into a number.
A projectile. And I got a picture of that here that's from you, and that is after you hit that bullet, this is the bullet that's broken apart in all these different rounds.
Right, right. Yeah, tell people how you do it.
You just hit it on the ground and it breaks it in.
Well, no, I got a diagram of how you do it, and it's quite simple to do, but it was very effective.
We would do it shooting into any potential cover, even if we didn't know where somebody was.
They probably had a bead on us, ready to kill us, but we would fire into these areas without hesitation, and they all seemed to think that we'd seen them, and they'd take off running, and then, you know, we'd deal with them, the gunship would deal with them.
But skipping rounds is something that's a small thing.
I have 13 pages on how to survive a gun.
You're not going to read this stuff.
On the internet.
A lot of the special operations units teach this stuff, but it's not very...
What I went through, I was trained by SAS, which is the British Special Forces designation, Special Air Service.
They're about the same thing as Delta Force in this country or Green Berets.
And you got taught all of these things.
And these are little techniques I tell people in the book.
They're very simple.
And let me jump in here because on your website that I'm looking at here tactics plain language explanations that even people without a military or law enforcement background can understand Tactical strategic principles effects and movements and here are the examples all around defense fields of fire interlocking fields of fire supporting fields of fire element of surprise force multiplier effect violence of action economy of force kill zone maze defense in depth
flanking attack principles L-shaped ambush cover and fire movement fallback fighting positions area tactical proactive defense serpentine entry control perimeter defense And the star perimeter defense principle.
Indirect approach strategy.
Employment and coordination of inside marksmen and outflanker marksmen.
Rapid response force.
The third dimension of the defensive perimeter.
The castle concept.
So all that is just under the tactics part of it.
And then that's not the only thing.
You talk about how to fortify and defend a suburban neighborhood or a high-rise building or a ranch.
These are all different things. So, if people go to the website, they can see the kinds of in-depth information that you've got.
Again, there's some sample chapters there as well.
80-year-old people taking all of that information.
There's about 30 items there.
Learning the basic theory, and I've got docs.
Diagrams, it's all in layman's terms.
Because the military writes books that will put you to sleep at night.
They seem to have a competition on triple and quadruple negative statements in one sentence, you know.
And 58 words in one sentence, trying to impress each other.
They went to, graduated from high school or whatever.
It's horrible. So I put it in simple terms with diagrams.
You can understand it.
An 80-year-old person.
A group of 80-year-old people in a neighborhood could successfully defend their neighborhood just with these tactics against somebody that does not have the knowledge of these tactics.
They're very, very important.
Fire protection procedures are also very important.
If we go grid down, you're going to see more fires and you're going to have less response from fire departments.
The same thing with sheriff's departments and police departments.
What are they going to do?
Are the Potomac going to stay out there?
Are they going to worry about their wife and kids at home?
Oh, we've already seen that. You see the riots that happen, or even going back to the Rodney King riots and everything, but of course also the BLM riots of 2020 and everything.
They basically protect their own, and they have a hard time trying to protect their own.
I mean, look at what happened to the police station there in Minneapolis, and they still haven't rebuilt it.
You know, it is... It's kind of interesting to see these things.
But, you know, the other thing is I look through your book.
A lot of people might think that if they don't live in a rural area, or maybe even a suburban area, that it doesn't apply.
But you've got a lot of stuff about living in the city and how to survive that.
And it's not just a situation where...
The grid's down, everybody's starving, and it's this kind of end-of-the-world apocalypse thing.
But it's also common-sense things to do for natural disasters, like hurricanes or earthquakes or things like that, so that you're not completely dependent on the people.
I've got the procedures for that.
Things like shutting off your gas supply.
How you can identify where it is, what to do, the procedure to go through, shutting off your breakers if you've got an earthquake.
I go over virtually every catastrophic event, and I've listed 23 of them.
Everything from financial collapse to the moon colliding with Earth, which, you know, that's very improbable.
I leave a lot of this alien talk, just like I say in the book, just because...
Three pieces of my Captain Crunch aligned perfectly together in my cereal bowl on top of the milk doesn't mean that we're going to have a planet disaster.
But I have hurricanes, tornadoes, everything.
This is common sense information on what to do to keep yourself from burning your house down, to keep yourself from having your house explode, And it goes on.
It goes on all the way up the ladder.
How to protect your neighborhood, which you're going to have to know how to do.
I can't convey to people the madness that I have seen in the rest of the world.
We have been so isolated in this country.
And I talk this madness in the book.
I mean, and I talk...
This book is a refuge...
For people that are concerned with what's going on today, instead of sitting and stewing in their own juices over how bad everything is and how crazy everything is, you'll see through this book, there's a reason for it.
It's called Psychological Operations.
That's right. And David, you touch on this all the time when I watch you.
You're very tuned into this.
People need to wake up.
This is not the end of the world.
We don't have 50% of this country that wants to have a communist form of government.
We don't have it. I think the Republican Trump...
The other day he said something about his voter base is 75% of the people.
And I believe he's right.
I've always said that it's probably like 85%.
There are dedicated communists.
Hell, I run into them in military units I've been in.
They seem to think that this illusion...
Of communism will work, and it doesn't.
But that's what we're headed towards, and people need to wake up.
Go to the book and find yourself something to do in this book to help yourself...
I'll lay your fears of what is coming.
That's right. Yeah, as a matter of fact, I've got a tip here from Sandy Hayes.
Thank you very much for that. It says, I've been listening to you for a long time.
Thanks for all you do. God bless.
I can't help but feel black-pilled after listening to you sometimes, but I guess that's just the reality of the world, isn't it?
And so I'd say, you know, to anybody that feels black-pilled, first of all, I like to give you hope that we have as Christians, and that's the most important thing.
But it is also important if you have a book like this and you've got something that you can do Because really the fear just kind of comes if you're sitting there and feeling helpless If you're just sitting there not doing something if you're actively engaged and putting something together constructively putting it together going out and Putting two relationships together with people in your neighborhood, which Jack talks about that a good deal so there's all these constructive things to do and these
are good things whether or not the Society collapses or not this year. We finally we got totally behind and everything Jack as we move, but this year We've started growing our own food and everything and and it's just you know, it's it's been wonderful Karen has done all of it, and Whistler here, who have been doing this stuff while we do the show here.
But it's great to have that and to be learning about that, and it's great to have the fresh produce and things like that.
So if you start doing productive things like this, It's going to get you feeling better and getting you into a more positive mindset, but it's going to be stuff that's going to pay dividends even if things don't come out in a worst-case scenario.
That's what I like about it, and that's what I like about what Jack has done in terms of the Civil Defense Manual.
But being able to set aside some food, just simple suggestions, things that maybe you didn't think about, but are just simple suggestions that once you read them there, you know, things that you may have heard if there's some kind of an earthquake or something, you turn the gas off, of course, but maybe you've forgotten about that.
Maybe it's just good to kind of jog your memory down.
And kind of go through a checklist of things like that every once in a while.
But it's a positive thing that you can do and keeps you active, keeps you from becoming fearful about all that stuff.
I think that's the real benefit of it that's going to pay dividends regardless of what happens.
I can't tell people how much we've turned into a garage door community.
We go to work, we come home, raise the garage door, drive a car, and close the garage door.
We don't even know who lives next to us.
Since we've done this in our neighborhood, I just had a group of people last night.
We just had a meeting. And I have to say, I've never been enriched by people.
And some of the wonderful people I met...
That I thought were jerks.
And they're just great people.
But you never say anything to them because you live in a garage door type of neighborhood.
People don't get together.
Well, we've gotten together in our neighborhood and we know who's who.
And there's a lot of fantastic people where I live, older people that have got experiences.
I'll just go to one thing you just said.
God, Christianity, religion.
Right on my desk here, I have...
My Civil Defense Manual, which I've got all kinds of markers in, and I have the Bible!
There you go. The Eternal Defense Manual right there.
Yeah, absolutely.
I'm trying to teach my heathen soul something about religion.
I'm not real good at it, but I'm trying to get there.
I go to a Bible study group with combat veterans.
A lot of guys are really, really horribly afflicted with issues they've gone through.
When you sit and see a grown man cry that was in the Marine Corps and been awarded a Silver Star, you know, it's cast in stone in your head, these traumatic events.
And I'm telling people now, prepare, or you're going to have that cast in your head the failure of doing something to protect you and your family.
It will be cast in your head immediately.
And chiseled in stone, while on a bright sunny day, the lights are going on in your mind, you know?
When you're dying, you don't want the last thought of, why didn't I do something?
So, I urge people, I urge people, the funny thing I gotta tell you is, the group we have in our neighborhood, I don't go into the Bible because I'm afraid.
I'm beyond, I'm numb to being afraid.
I've been through so much.
I go into the Bible because it's a fascinating story.
And I fight with myself all the time.
I tell the guys in my group, I fight all the time with my beliefs, but it's a great thing to look at.
Most of my group of neighborhood, they're all very devout religious people of one denomination or another.
And I don't push them as long as they don't push theirs on me.
Well, that's the key. You know, when you're talking about that, it's looking at something that you're going to find fascinating.
Something that is, you know, we get so caught up so many times in passively consuming what is served to us.
So we get caught up in entertainment or we get caught up in sports.
But, you know, we can also get caught up in things that are going to help us live our daily life.
Things that are going to help us to meet our neighbor.
Things that are going to help us to know God.
Those things can be even more fascinating and can pay dividends to us.
And that's the key thing.
You know, finding some stuff.
If you start to get interested in anything...
You're going to be able to find fascinating stuff.
And so, you know, do it even this prepping stuff.
Do it as a hobby. That's going to be something that's going to be, you know, pay dividends.
Yeah, David, I push so many different things in here.
I've got a guy by the name of Boston Tea Party.
He's very well known.
He's a legislator from Wyoming.
He gave me permission to put, from one of his books, 13 pages on psychopaths.
Critical that people know what these people are.
Critical that they know the traits that they exhibit so they're going to identify these people.
They're very, very dangerous.
That's one of the biggest dangers to humanity I've seen.
Unfortunately, I think our government has mostly turned into these people.
And the globalists definitely are.
I mean, I can't see...
Too much different. Bill Gates still, when he looks at a person, thinks he's looking at a computer screen.
I don't think he's got any sense of connection.
But if people want to learn about psychopaths, read those pages in there.
It'll tell you everything about it.
You want to learn about how to survive a nuclear exchange?
Get the book. Go on my website and look at what I have surviving nuclear warfare with what you have.
It's very simple. It's no longer what I was taught when I was in the Air Force when I went through nuclear weapons training.
Bend over and kiss your butt goodbye.
I'll put it in nice terms.
But the bottom line was that it was the mutual assured destruction, which I don't think we'll ever get to.
I hope not. It left me totally depressed.
There's just no hope coming out of a school like that.
And it gave me a new respect for that bomb that I used to set my butt on and connect the arming circuits to.
So there's a lot of things in the book.
It just goes over a lot that people need to know.
Can you survive?
Absolutely. People can survive.
Grid down in this country, you just need some basic...
Some basic preparations.
Yes, yes, absolutely true.
Well, it's always great talking to you, Jack, and it is a wonderful publication.
Again, as I said, we don't have to be fearful, especially if we are Christians, and we can always find something that is constructive to do.
It's one of the best things you can do for yourself psychologically.
As a matter of fact, there's just an article about...
Taking kids off of smartphones for 10 days immediately saw a massive improvement in their lives and their attitude and their relationship to other people.
So again, there's all these things that we can do, and it's very important, and this is a good place to start, really.
So again, Civil Defense Manual.
You can find it at CivilDefenseManual.com.
Jack, thank you so much for coming on and for all of your wisdom and a great resource that you've got there.
Thank you. Tell that wisdom part to my wife.
David, thank you.
It's always a pleasure to talk to you.
I just enjoy watching your show, and I recommend everybody.
Thank you very much. Thank you very much.
I appreciate that. Folks, we're going to take a real quick break, and I'll be right back.
Just a small town boy thinking.
Genetically mortified soul.
This ensures he doesn't co-create.
Please stop the reading.
We are almost nine billion people.
Please stop the reading right now.
Alright, on Rockfin, Lazy Toad, thank you very much.
He says, 10 bucks ain't much, but it helps the ticker nevertheless.
Yes, it does. Thank you.
And it is very generous.
I appreciate that. Blessings to all God's patriots and especially our precious knights.
Thank you so much. Let's talk about not letting the people get to us.
This is an article out of the Daily Skeptic, and I thought it kind of caught my attention.
Because it says, dumbhead girl, eco-activist.
Dumbhead? We don't use that phrase.
And I mean, the Germans do use dummkopf, right?
Which is literally dumbhead.
But talking about how to deal with your climate feelings.
And in this article, they talked about an essay...
That was coming from a young woman who said that everything changed for her.
In her 2022 book, she said that climate in our heads, fear, anger, hope, what the ecological crisis is doing to us.
And it was, you talk about doom and gloom.
This is it. And she said it all began when she was at school and they showed her Al Gore's film, An Inconvenient Truth.
I looked at that and I thought, that is the most ludicrous thing, but the sad thing about it is that it scared her to death.
And she came home, she talked to her mother about it, and she said, I was happy for the welcome distraction of watching a film instead of doing lessons, but afterwards I was shocked.
And I asked my mom, she's British, for answers to all these questions and challenges, and she didn't have any solutions for me.
How could she? Well, she could, because the solutions are there.
The solutions are there when your kid goes to school and they fill them with despair and atheism.
The solutions are there.
apparent if you are going to send your kids to school you better be aware of how you are going to answer these questions that are put into their head and to give them a foundation whether it's about that or whether it's about the doom and gloom of the climate she said I was alarmed I started to think about the impending consequences of climate change and what could be done about it and she said we're questioning now even the role of men we're
questioning social narratives of superiority through gender through academic attainment through professional success through the burning of fossil fuels you see it all ties together with her Out of this, she took all of the Marxist struggle session stuff.
That was the gateway into it for her.
But of course, it can be anything.
But the real issue is that it is fear that we have to confront.
And we have to not be afraid to look at the truth, and we have to not be afraid to look for solutions, especially to be able to provide those to our kids.
I saw a video on...
On Twitter, actually.
And it got my attention because the headline there was, What's the most common used phrase in the Bible?
And then they show condensed.
They just flip all the pages and they always have it highlighted and they always put it in the same spot so it's not jumping around so you can watch it.
Because they go through it very quickly.
250 times.
Don't be afraid. Don't be afraid.
Actually, that's what I like about the King James, the New King James.
It's got a more majestic language that says, fear not, which I think is much more powerful than don't be afraid.
But fear not.
And we really don't have anything to fear.
And that is especially true if you're a Christian, if you're a child of God.
If you're God-fearing, you don't fear anything else.
That's the key right there.
And you don't have to fear all of these exaggerated lies from Al Gore, or the crisis of the week, or the so-called pandemic of the week.
It gives you a perspective, and it gives you a foundation that will not be rattled.
And that's the key thing.
That's the key preparation right there.
So, thank you all for listening.
Have a great weekend. Hope to see you on Monday.
