As the clock strikes 13, it's Friday, the 11th of October, Year of Our Lord 2024.
Well, we're going to take a look today at updates as to what is happening.
We have a guest who's going to be joining us in the third hour talking about what is happening in western North Carolina.
And we're also going to take a look at the insanity as we get closer and closer to the election.
I'm starting to see absolute insanity and shaming from Christian leaders as they did when the vaccine was out.
You know, if you love your neighbor and you love God, you've got to vote for Trump.
You've got to take his Trump shot, we were told four years ago by these same people.
You've got to lock your church down if you really love people, right?
And I've got to tell you, they've got it so incredibly wrong.
We're going to talk about what we should do.
It's interesting to see that Mises.org has, I think, the best layout of the solution.
It's essentially what I've been saying all along.
We're going to talk about the solution to this.
Being captured by politics that is happening across our society.
We'll also talk about the Remdesivir papers.
It's now been very well documented how this drug is used to murder people.
Well, I want to begin today just to give you a tip.
Last week, maybe a bit more than a week ago, I did an interview with Free Thought Project.
We talked about a lot of different things, talked about what was happening in the long term with these lithium mines and stuff like that, as well as the response to the hurricane.
We also talked about Infowars.
I had not talked to the guys at Free Thought Project since 2018 when they were kicked off just before the midterm elections.
And it wasn't because they were for or against any political party.
They were against the Uni Party.
They were against the police and surveillance state and the constant state of war.
And so I've used them all through the years when I was there at InfoWars and now as a source.
So we had an interesting discussion.
You can go to the Free Thought Project to see that.
I've also put it out on social media if you'd like to see it.
It was a podcast.
Just wanted to give you a heads up about that.
And I wanted to point to something at the beginning of the show.
And I'm going to get to this, back to this when we start talking about politics as well.
This was a comment from one person on social media who said, the eye collapsed as it hit the coast.
Talking about Hurricane Milton.
He said, the worst is over.
Praise God. He has done this.
He answered our prayers.
Give glory to Him. Well, good for Him.
I'm glad to see this. I'm glad to see that somebody understands what is happening, has faith that prayer actually works.
And I said this, before I read this, I had said on social media, I said, all these Christians who are saying, look at Trump, look at what he did.
We've got to have him, and we can't have Lala Harris and all the rest of this stuff.
Christians, you've got to vote for Trump.
Look what he did for pro-life.
And so I said at that point in time, I said, folks, we need to praise God for Dobbs.
Not Donald Trump.
He didn't know what would happen when he appointed those Supreme Court judges.
You know, we've had, since 1980, we had had the strategy that we're going to get a Republican president in like Reagan or something.
He's going to appoint judges, and that's how we'll stop Roe v.
Wade. No, it needed to be nullified by the states.
Hey, you've issued your opinion.
Let's see you enforce it.
That's what should have been done. Instead, we kill 63 million babies.
Because we pretended that a Supreme Court decision is the law of the land.
It's not. They don't have that authority.
That's what the law of the land says.
The law of the land and the 10th Amendment says they don't have that authority.
So, he didn't know that this was going to happen.
We've had, again, you know, 40 years of electoral politics happening.
Where it was like, you know, vote for a Republican president.
They're going to fix the Supreme Court to fix this thing.
No, he didn't know that would happen.
And folks, he didn't want it to happen either.
He and the rest of these people, like Blake Masters, they ran like mad away from the pro-life position when Dobbs came through.
This was an answer to prayer.
This is a work that God brought.
And it makes me so disgusted to see Christians Looking to Trump as their Lord and Savior.
I want to throw up!
Anyway, about the hurricane.
He said, prayers work, especially in groups.
Since this post has reached many believers in Christ, I wanted to personally extend to all of you an invitation to our community.
In my many years of hurricane experience, 20-plus, More named storms than I have fingers.
Wilma, Katrina, to name a few.
I have never seen a Hurricane I collapse like this as it hit the coast.
It brings me great joy that the overwhelming response has been to give the glory and the thanks to God.
That's the way we should see this.
I have seen amazing answers to prayer.
I've seen amazing answers to prayer.
And in my own life, things that cannot be explained by chance or coincidence absolutely cannot be explained that way.
And we all need to keep a diary.
That's the key thing, right?
When you talk to God in prayer, you begin with thanks.
Thanks for what? Thanks for all of the times that you have seen Him work in your life.
And that, folks, is more important than getting what we want.
That God would condescend to let us see Him working in our life.
That's why He has us pray.
What is it about these people in politics?
And I know what it is. I know that they want to build their organization, they want to get famous, and they want a fortune and all the rest of this stuff.
Some of them may truly be deceived and think that this is the way.
It is not the way.
Christ is the way.
Not Trump. Not politics.
While the family dies on the vine, and every other aspect of our community dies on the vine, these people are manic about making sure that everybody's going to get out of the vote and vote for Trump.
It disgusts me.
It absolutely disgusts me.
Well, let's talk a little bit about the hurricane, the aftermath of this.
Yes, a lot of people died.
I think the last death toll I saw was 10 people.
But... You know, 227 in North Carolina and other areas from Helene, so significantly less.
And, you know, we have, it's like a multi-car road accident to have 10 people die.
But one of the guys I talked about, I played the other day, he's in this little tiny boat.
I'm going to ride it out, just like Noah.
And he's like, this isn't anything like Noah.
But anyway, he calls himself Lieutenant Dan because he lost one leg.
And so there were reports that they had picked him up.
We saw social media where the police went out and talked to him, tried to convince him to come in.
And it was announced by the Tampa mayor that he had come in.
But it turned out that he didn't.
After they took him to the shelter, He's homeless.
He goes back to his boat.
He says, that's all I've got. So he went back there to ride it out, and he did that successfully.
And again, it was a blessing that the hurricane did not hit that area in its full strength and had significantly dropped in strength.
And so, again, one of the reasons that you see this happening It's because they always give you the worst case.
And it's always...
And we see...
After you see this over and over and over again, it's like crying wolf.
And then the other aspect of it, as I said before this happened, was FEMA not letting people back in their homes.
I don't know if Grammy for God has joined or not.
No. Karen says no. We're all...
She's been in our prayers, and we hope that she made it through this.
There are still a lot of people who do not have power.
It was like three and a half million people out of power.
It's now down to two and a half million, but that's still a lot of people out of power.
Lieutenant Dan had said, I'm not going anywhere because the safest place to be is on a boat in a flood.
Not necessarily.
You don't realize that.
I mean, you look at these horrific floodwaters going through North Carolina.
You know, that raging water is not something that you can necessarily navigate in a boat.
He said, we learned that with Noah.
Everybody who stayed on land drowned.
Noah and the animals led.
Well, that's not the lesson of that story, really.
That was not a lesson and not a ride out of hurricane.
So, 10 people are dead and millions are in the dark and there is massive flood damage.
Most of the people that have died, from what I've seen, were situations with trees falling onto houses.
Homes have been torn into pieces, not to minimize this at all.
Filled streets with mud, spawned a barrage of deadly tornadoes.
And again, for those people on the right, this is not something that is new.
We saw reports that were then retracted.
150 tornadoes.
It's like, no, they don't have any way to count that accurately.
All kinds of wild information is out there.
But yeah, tornadoes have always been a part of it.
The biggest devastation from Hurricane Andrew that came through around the Homestead area, it just wiped out everything.
It's just like a wall of hurricanes.
This is not something that's new.
Among the most dramatic rescues, Hillsborough County officers found a 14 year old boy floating on a piece of fence and pulled him onto a boat.
A Coast Guard helicopter crew rescued a man who was left clinging to an ice chest in the Gulf of Mexico after his fishing boat was stranded in waters roiled by Hurricane Milton.
You see, if Lieutenant Dan had actually tried to ride out the storm, this is maybe what would have happened.
The agency estimated the man had survived winds of 75 to 90 miles per hour, which is, you know, a very light hurricane, if it is a hurricane.
I don't know where the dividing line is from hurricane to tropical storm.
Waves of up to 25 feet high during his night on the water.
This man survived in a nightmare scenario for even the most experienced mariner.
Despite the destruction, many people expressed relief that Milton wasn't worse.
DeSantis said it was not the worst case scenario.
You face two hurricanes in a couple of weeks.
Not easy to go through, but I've seen a lot of resilience throughout this state.
Very confident that this area is going to bounce back very, very quickly, said DeSantis.
South of Tampa, a couple there felt lucky to be alive after the hurricane peeled off the tin roof of their cinder block home in Palmetto.
They spent the night in a shelter with their three kids and two grandchildren after she pushed them to leave.
I said, baby, we got to go because we're not going to survive this.
They returned to find the roof torn into sheets across the street, shredded insulation hanging from exposed ceiling beams, and their belongings soaked.
It ain't much, but it was ours, she said.
What little bit we did have is gone.
And again, that is a tragedy, and we feel for those people there as well.
Meanwhile, city workers on Anna Maria Island were grateful to not be wading through floodwaters as they picked up debris.
Two weeks after Helene battered buildings and blew in piles of sand up to six feet high, those piles may have helped to shield homes from further damage.
They had their own aqua fence, courtesy of Hurricane Helene.
I'm shocked that it's not more.
We lost so much with Helene, there wasn't really much left, they said.
Again, as I said before, about 3.5 million people lost power.
That is now down to 2.5 million as of this morning.
On Anna Maria Island, nearly all residents had evacuated.
There were no injuries, no deaths, and the projected storm surge never happened.
After fearing that his police department would be underwater, the police chief said it remained dry.
And it was nice to have a place to come back to.
And that's a big part of the problem.
When FEMA comes in, they don't let you go back to your house.
So... We're grateful that FEMA has not shown up.
That's the other part of this.
And then there's the electric car story.
Take a look at this Tesla that burned...
Well, I'll just let you see it.
It's amazing.
Look at that. From the salt water getting into the battery.
Going up in flames. Salt water dust to a Tesla.
Used to be a Tesla.
That chili is amazing.
Crazy.
Totally consumed. I don't know if the core was...
I don't think anybody drove it here in the middle of the parking lot.
Maybe somebody pushed it, towed it when it was on fire.
But it is also possible that it was just floating.
And there's a lot of houses that burned down because there was an electric Tesla that got salt water in it and it caused a fire.
This is what it looks like.
And, of course, saltwater is a pretty good conductor, so it can cause shorts in the battery.
You get to shorten the battery, you wind up with a runaway fire.
Not every EV flooded by storm surge goes up in flames, but it's become frequent enough that insurers, car makers, fire chiefs, and politicians have all issued warnings to EV owners in advance.
A statement on Monday detailing a stream of fires in the wake of Hurricane Helene, which flooded much of the Gulf Coast just two weeks ago.
The state found that there were 30,000 EV and hybrid registrations in the path of Hurricane Milton's storm surge, so they conducted at least 64 lithium battery fires after Hurricane Helene.
Only 17 of them were from cars, but there are other things like scooters, hoverboards, golf carts.
One was even an electric wheelchair.
And of course, what we've seen in New York City with a plethora of these electric scooters, They have burned many buildings now.
And so this is something to, again, but, you know, we need to have more lithium batteries.
Everything needs to be run by lithium battery.
And that's going to be the aftermath, I guess, of this situation in North Carolina.
And then you had a reporter trolling DeSantis over climate change.
And he set this person straight.
The reporter said, well, how many storms have had this kind of rapid formation, like Helene and Milton?
DeSantis said, well, we had a series of hurricanes that struck Florida in 2004 and in the 1940s.
Speaking of history, sir, how many storms formed as rapidly as they have between Helene and Milton, asked the reporter.
And so...
He gave them a bit of a history lesson.
He said, I think most people remember 2004 where it seemed like you had them every other week.
Then there's also time periods, you know, that we had from 2006 to 2016.
We had no hurricanes at all in Florida.
The 1940s, we were getting hit a lot.
Nine tropical storms affected the U.S. in 2004, five of them hitting Florida in just a six-week time period.
Like he said, every other week.
You're getting one. This is one of the reasons why, you know, as I said, we have seen on the right, everybody wants to make this all about geoengineering.
Not necessarily the case.
On the left, it's all about climate change.
Though we have a history of these things, if you've ever lived in Florida or know anything about it, and it doesn't mean, it's not to say, I will say there is no man-made climate change, and I will say that there is government-made geoengineering.
And sometimes that geoengineering is identified as climate change.
But, you know, don't make everything about that.
Not everything fits that.
Some liberals, including Bill Nye and occasional Cortex, have blamed climate change and the rise in temperatures for Hurricanes Helene and Milton.
As a matter of fact, old Bill Nye, who pretends to be a science guy.
He said, we can't let the Republicans win.
They've got no plan to deal with climate change.
And when I saw that, I thought, you know, he's right.
I've got a plan to deal with climate change.
First of all, you get rid of the Paris Climate Accord, and you repeal a lot of this legislation and mandates, and then you explain to people why there is no such thing as man-made climate change.
That's a plan to do something about climate change.
And the Republicans are not planning to do anything all about that.
He's right. They're just going to sit there.
Democrats are going to keep pushing, pushing, pushing.
Republicans do nothing to push back even.
But yeah, since 1851, interesting they picked 1851 because what happened in September of 1848?
I showed you this.
This is the path of a very powerful hurricane.
They came through in 1858.
And just before my relatives moved to Florida.
It took exactly the same path that they had for this particular hurricane.
It's just a little bit, you know, it went right smack dab through Tampa.
And this one went 70 miles south of that, but basically followed the same path in 1848.
But anyway, these people went back to 1851, three years after that.
They said since 1851, 28 named hurricanes have made landfall in southwest Florida, with seven of them being category three or higher.
At least 10 people have been confirmed dead.
The storm's aftermath, five of them, and one county, St.
Lucie County, on the Atlantic Coast, where...
So, that's on the Atlantic Coast.
I would have thought it was on the Gulf Coast.
I'm not sure where St. Lucie is.
But you compare those 10 people...
The 227 for Helene, and that's at the moment.
I mean, there's still, I don't know, they found all the bodies.
There were over 600 people missing a few days ago.
And again, we're going to talk in the third hour with somebody who has been there, has organized some relief efforts.
I want to get an update on the situation that is there and a perspective on what happened with that.
we're going to take a quick break folks and we'll be right back.
The common man They created common core to dumb down our children.
They created common past to track and control us.
Their commons project to make sure the commoners own nothing.
And the communist future.
They see the common man as simple, unsophisticated, ordinary.
But each of us has worth and dignity created in the image of God.
That is what we have in common.
That is what they want to take away.
Their most powerful weapons are isolation, deception, intimidation.
They desire to know everything about us while they hide everything from us.
It's time to turn that around and expose what they want to hide.
Please share the information and links you'll find at thedavidknightshow.com.
Thank you for listening.
Thank you for sharing.
If you can't support us financially, please keep us in your prayers.
TheDavidKnightShow.com Well, let's talk a little bit about what's going on with
Remdesivir and the ongoing, you know, the things that happened to us in 2020, we're
still not recovered from.
We still have ongoing issues with supply chains that people were talking about in wake of the Longshoremen strike.
And by the way, I'll just say that, you know, first of all, it's not really settled, as some people have said.
Maybe it is. But either way, they did what I really thought they would do from the very beginning.
I think it was a negotiating tactic that the longshoremen had there with the government.
Because the government could always come in and apply Taft-Hartley.
Or, as Biden said, while I'm all about collective bargaining, well, not exactly.
He didn't use Taft-Hartley.
He doesn't like the law. He doesn't like the Constitution.
But in 2022... He did a presidential emergency order and he created an emergency commission and all the rest of the stuff.
And he forced a resolution before that election on the railroad workers.
And so I said, it ain't going to happen.
And then I came back and I said, well, I guess I was wrong.
It did happen. No, I was right.
It didn't happen. It's kind of easy to tell where these people are going.
If you look at what they've done in the past, and if you understand what it is that they really want.
And so this article from the Daily Skeptic in the UK says, COVID vaccine science is catching up with conspiracy theorists, quote unquote.
You know, it's always been that way.
Long before you had Peter McCullough and these other people come out and start talking about some of the science.
And of course, he's been a very limited hangout with that as well.
He also pushes vaccines and a lot of other stuff that I absolutely do not endorse where he is with this stuff.
Also pushing fear to sell stuff from the wellness corporation and everything.
You know, that's fine. Sell stuff to help people to get healthy, but you don't have to pump fear about bird flu.
That's absolutely reprehensible.
I saw him doing that. But before you had anybody that was going out and talking about the mechanisms of how the blood clots and the heart attacks and everything were happening, myocarditis and all the rest of the stuff, long before that, we knew.
Conspiracy theorists. We know that they conspire, and we know what their motives are, and this is what any detective does.
You know, we've got a crime going on here.
Who's got the motive?
And what have we seen these people do before?
Call in the usual suspects.
Let's start with them. Let's start with the immediate family.
Let's start with the people who are in power.
What is it that they've been saying and doing and, you know, that type of thing.
So, yeah, you can discern this stuff.
If you know the history of it, and of course this whole thing had been laid out for us in about 20 different germ games.
The first one, two months before 9-11, dark winter.
And then as a result of that, a week after 9-11, they had the anthrax false flag attack.
And then two months later, they pushed out the model legislation to the states so they wouldn't have some kind of a 10th Amendment challenge.
And then they practiced it for 20 years, the last one being Event 201, which is exactly Well, they did a few months later.
So, yeah, the scientists can do the studies that Trump skipped so he could do it at warp speed.
They can eventually go back and do studies and they can do document retrievals and have whistleblowers and say, yeah, look, Pfizer knew this stuff beforehand.
But you kind of know what they're doing if you have looked at their annual flu shot game, if you looked at their germ games that they did for 20 years.
Science is starting to catch up with the anti-vaxxers such as myself.
This is Daily Skeptic.
Also known as people who rationally asked questions of novel products or rushed out the door to help stem a pandemic virus that they had not isolated.
That was far less deadly than all the other causes, including cardiovascular disease, cancer, even tobacco use.
And note that the COVID-19 deaths tend to be inflated.
At one point in time, the CDC was putting out that, oh, we have more people who are dying of COVID than of heart disease and cancer.
And I'll never forget, as I was leaving in the afternoon at Infowars, walking out, and Mike Adams, who Alex brought in because Mike Adams was pants on, hair on fire, pants on fire, all about this stuff.
And he said, look at this, the CDC says more people are dying of COVID than cancer and heart disease.
And it's like, come on, Mike, you've seen this game before, just like I have.
Don't push those lies.
You know as well as I do.
These are people that they tested with a PCR test that is absolute garbage.
And these are people who didn't die from it, but who died with a positive PCR test, which is no big deal.
You can find anything if you magnify it by 1.1 trillion times.
Publishing in the Polish Annals of Medicine...
We had a finding said from 2020 to 2024, the literature has gone from claiming that there are absolutely no serious adverse effects from mRNA-based vaccines in 2020 to 2021, to by the time they got to 2023 and 2024, acknowledging a significant number of various serious adverse events.
Including but not limited to neurological complications, myocarditis, pericarditis, thrombosis.
The very fact that myocarditis and pericarditis are household words right now.
Why is that?
The early scientific literature was biased so as not to report serious adverse events due to social and political concerns.
And overwhelming corporate greed.
Only in the last year have scientists been able to publish articles that acknowledge a high number of serious adverse events linked to mRNA-based vaccines.
This should act as a warning that science should be completely objective when evaluating health risks, but can often be influenced by social and economic considerations.
So if you are a quote-unquote conspiracy theorist, It was focused on social and economic things, and you saw that this was another MacGuffin.
They're using this to achieve the same things that they always wanted to achieve with the climate thing.
Well, that would be one clue.
If you had reported as an anti-vaxxer how they had manipulated people and created harm with the childhood vaccines and with the annual flu shots, that would be another clue, and it was absolutely inexcusable for the people that I worked with to ignore that.
And to cheer for Trump.
So this is coming from the Polish Annals of Medicine.
He says, The Polish Journal kindly accepted my brief response entitled, Scientific views around the mRNA-based COVID vaccines are changing, but to what end?
In it, I praise the journal and the author for this important paper, and I note this is only the tip of the iceberg.
There is so much more in the publishing science that most people are unaware of, such as...
Issues such as data falsification, patient unblinding concerning Pfizer's so-called vaccine trial.
There is excess risk of serious adverse events of special interest with the mRNA vaccine.
By the way, each one of these, he has a link to these studies that he is summarizing in one or two words here.
Another one, no statistically significant decrease in deaths.
I say COVID deaths, but of course, you know, this is also the games they play with the PCR. In the mRNA vaccine clinical trials, while there was an increase in total deaths.
Yeah. Another article, another study.
Counting window issues.
There were delays in the windows.
There was window biases.
There was window misclassification.
All these leading to exaggerated effectiveness and safety estimates.
As a matter of fact, it says vaccines are associated with several concerning adverse effects despite employing a counting window endpoint of only 42 days following the vaccination.
We talked about this from the very beginning as well.
You get a vaccination, you drop dead.
Some people did. That doesn't count.
You're not fully vaccinated until two weeks after your second vaccination, 30 days later.
And so that's why they're talking about this type of thing.
And then they cut off the window.
Another 42 days after that period of time.
So you get the first vaccine, another one 30 days later.
Two weeks after that, now you're vaccinated.
And then we stop even looking after another 42 days.
A rate of serious adverse drug reactions, approximately one per 400 people.
He said, I note that this compares very unfavorably with the UK government's estimates on the numbers needed to vaccinate in young and healthy people.
Hundreds of thousands.
Have to be vaccinated.
Millions. And it's going to be one out of every 400 people.
Negative effectiveness, where the vaccines increase the chance of infection and death.
Yeah. And on and on in this study.
So, he says, I end with a stark warning for those who partake in the deadly con.
He says there's clearly much research on the vaccines published in the biggest medical journals, which greatly contradicts the mainstream and early as well as ongoing claims concerning their safety and effectiveness and even necessity for having them at all.
He said COVID-19 vaccines are most certainly not worth the risk, even when considering just a single adverse event of myocarditis, no matter how rare it is purported to be.
Just remember that every time you see Trump out there bragging about all the lives that he saved.
Just remember that every time you see him giving a medal to, think about him giving a medal to Fauci.
There have already been many legal actions, including victories, initiated on behalf of the somewhat still alive unvaccinated.
Not somewhat, but somehow.
Are we still surviving here?
People who were persecuted.
Over a pharmaceutical product that they clearly did not need.
And then the vaccinated who have died and otherwise been injured as a result of vaccination.
He says, I think there's going to be many more lawsuits on the horizon involving, among other things, the vaccine manufacturers because what they told people was fraudulent.
The government officials that approved, encouraged, and even mandated the vaccines and many doctors and scientists who effectively betrayed their professions and the public's trust.
In encouraging the use of these flawed products based on very limited and manipulated scientific evidence.
That's Dr. Raphael Lataster from the University of Sydney.
And so then we get to the remdesivir papers.
Who knew, right? I told my listeners from the very beginning about this scam.
I told people from the very beginning of this, I said remdesivir.
It was known at the very beginning that Fauci had pushed this for Ebola, and they said it doesn't help, but it kills people.
Sorry, not Ebola. First one was AIDS. Then it was Ebola.
He'd done two of those things before.
And then there was a Chinese study that appeared on the WHO about remdesivir and COVID, and they said we actually had more people die after they got remdesivir, but statistically insignificant.
But it is not a therapeutic study.
Doesn't help. But it is very risky.
We had a lot of people die.
So that study was taken down in just a couple of hours off the WHO site.
And within a week, you had a remdesivir study that was trumpeted by Fauci, that he was responsible for getting through, that said essentially the same thing.
In his, they had just a couple more people survived that were in the remdesivir group that were in the placebo group.
But it was statistically insignificant.
So what he did was he changed the definition for approval of a therapeutic.
He said, yeah, but the people who survived got better 30% faster.
So I'm going to make that the standard of care.
Well, again, he changed, just as they were changing the definition of what a vaccine was, they changed the definition of what a therapeutic was.
And he rammed this thing through.
Now you got a whistleblower talking about what the military did, what the military did with remdesivir.
A military whistleblower has come forward to offer evidence that 64% of service members and veterans whose deaths were attributed to COVID-19 were also given remdesivir, a drug with a known lethal past.
As I said before, you got a positive COVID test, Well, that's not hard to do if you're magnifying it with 40 cycles.
That's 1.1 trillion times.
And of those people who may not have had it, 64% of them who died got remdesivir.
Run, death is near.
It's what a lot of nurses have called it.
They knew. The nurses who are administering it, the doctors who are administering it, the hospitals, the military hospitals who are doing it, they all knew.
We all knew.
And now we all know again.
How many times are we going to have to be told this?
And nothing happens to these people.
Nothing ever happens to them.
Well, history will judge them, but more importantly, God will judge them.
Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord.
According to the report first published by the Gateway Pundit, the data clearly depicts the liberal usage of remdesivir in military treatment facilities and other civilian facilities.
As well as its potential contribution to, at a minimum, hundreds, hundreds of deaths between 2020 and 2024.
Bradley Miller, a former U.S. Army lieutenant colonel, was relieved of the battalion command in the 101st Airborne Division.
For refusing the so-called vaccine that was pushed out under the unlawful direction of Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin.
He's now rescinded the August 2021 mandate.
But again, folks, it wasn't just Austin.
This is WND saying this.
Trump had, as Jason Barker has pointed out, Trump had already set that in.
So as soon as it was given authorization, that they would mandate it.
And I said in December 2020, I said that that's going to happen in September because of school coming back.
And that's exactly when they did it.
They pretended that it was authorized.
And then they played this name game.
Well, you know, Corbinati, Pfizer BioNTech...
The FDA said they're identical, but they're legally distinct.
And that was the game they were playing.
We're going to say that this one is authorized, but we're going to play these name games so that we can keep the emergency legal immunity for the vaccine companies.
It's just reprehensible what they did.
Miller, the lieutenant colonel, former lieutenant colonel, He continues to be, quote, appalled by the behavior of the government, more specifically the behavior of the Department of Defense.
Did the government, to include DOD, knowingly administer a pharmaceutical to people that they knew was clearly more lethal than other available therapeutics?
He says it appears so.
Yes, that's exactly what happened.
And we knew it from the very beginning.
The remdesivir papers has revealed a significant number of deaths within the military that appear to be attributed to the use of remdesivir.
Were service members put at risk of death because they were being unnecessarily offered this therapeutic so that Fauci and, you know, Fauci's strongest critic, Rand Paul, could make money?
Say, I'm done with Rand Paul, okay?
Yeah, I don't really care.
What he says about liberty, individual liberty of the Constitution anymore.
He's lost all credibility.
He had his wife get remdesivir.
Stock, okay?
Gilead Pharmaceutical. That's the kind of stuff that Nancy Pelosi pulls.
It's just a game.
He's just there to feather his nest.
Even worse, Rand Paul is a medical doctor.
And then he gets into these Punch and Judy staged fights with Fauci.
Dr. Fauci, you know, you're pushing this vaccine and you're going to create vaccine hesitancy.
Well, let's hope so. That's the silver lining out of all this stuff.
Just amazing to see him do that.
And then to see Rand Paul continue to push the idea that this was a real pandemic by saying this is something that was created with gain of function out of Wuhan.
Come on. He won't talk about Remdesivir, because he's part of that.
And that's why the Republicans are keeping silent about this stuff.
They're just as guilty as the Democrats, the Uniparty.
With what he acknowledges is an anecdotal example, Miller noted that he had lost a civilian friend who was unvaccinated and died in the hospital after being administered remdesivir for treatment.
He said, I think it's a legitimate question to ask whether he was targeted with remdesivir to make his death look like an unvaccinated individual was particularly susceptible to COVID. Some of the evidence points in that direction.
We've seen behavior like this from the government before.
A government administering a therapeutic that they know can be quite harmful and perhaps unnecessary.
You know, kind of like levofloxacin and Cipro and all of these other things.
Unnecessary. Absolutely unnecessary.
And they've got a 45-year history of destroying people's lives.
That's just the antibiotics. Everything that the pharmaceutical companies do, the entire purpose of the FDA is to give legal immunity.
We talk about the vaccine programs, the 1986 thing that Fauci put in, and then 2005, the PrEP Act.
Yeah, so they got the legal immunity for the childhood vaccines in 1986 and the PrEP Act for, well, any vaccine we rush out because we say there's some kind of a biological emergency, we got legal immunity.
But the purpose of the FDA is to give legal immunity to everything the pharmaceutical companies do.
When it comes to pharmaceutical companies, you are FDA, free to do anything.
That's what they're there for.
Miller remarked, what we see is that the Department of Defense seems to be untouchable.
And this is a scary phenomenon.
Well, it's not just them.
That's just the tip of the iceberg.
That's just one of the bureaucracies there.
He says it seems to go above and beyond the military officer ranks.
They all seem to be involved in ensuring that the DOD remains untouchable.
Well, I mean, why should we be concerned about this?
I mean, it was the Trump's wonderful shot.
He saved millions and millions of lives.
It could have been another 1918 flu lie.
They can violate the law with impunity, he says, because we've seen that happen over the last couple of years, over and over again.
Whether they're military officials or civilian authorities, they've all taken oaths to support and defend the Constitution.
Yet we see them violating that very oath.
And that's the authority of their office.
To clean up the government and the military, the American people have to become comfortable asking uncomfortable questions.
And folks, when you do, their first line of defense is going to be to call you a conspiracy theorist, or a wacko, or whatever, or an extremist.
Don't worry about that.
Don't worry about that. If you know what's true, don't let the labels concern you.
While there are obvious exceptions, we've largely become hesitant to do that because we're afraid of what the answers might be, or we fear the backlash.
Citing the Remdesivir papers as an example, he said, I think we're getting to the point where more people are starting to realize that we have to be bold.
And we have to ask these questions exactly because we know what the answers might be.
So... At least 601 deaths of military service members and a high rate of serious adverse events and clinical trials involving remdesivir.
You see, Anthony Fauci is a mass murderer that was only limited to this, and it's not.
How many people did Ted Bundy kill?
How many people did Son of Sam kill?
How many people did Anthony Fauci?
Perhaps the biggest mass murderer of our history.
And Donald Trump, his accomplice, Donald Trump put him in charge.
Donald Trump gave him a medal.
The military began liberally administering Rim Desert of service members who were suspected of having COVID. Why?
Because of a PCR test that they abused?
And that was done before the FDA even waved their hands and approved the drug.
Based on his analysis of the data, several clinical trials did not have a true placebo group for which results could be compared with the remdesivir receiving group.
So we can't verify the placebo group.
If we can't do that, we can't determine the actual efficacy of remdesivir.
And again, we know what that game was.
We'd seen it run. Fauci tried to run that through for Gilead for a long time.
It said public officials, including Tony Fauci, no, especially Tony Fauci, need to be held to account for the criminal acts associated with the fraudulent trials of ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine that were tainted in order to preclude their use and to make remdesivir the standard of care despite the obvious data showing that it kills people.
See, They didn't just rig the tests for the vaccine.
They didn't just rig the tests for remdesivir.
They rigged the tests for ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine.
Everything. So, Gail Seiler, Texas chairperson of the former Feds Group Freedom Foundation, Escaped from a Texas hospital in 2021 where she was given remdesivir and listed as do not resuscitate against her and her family's stated wishes.
She said the remdesivir papers only scratched the surface as to the homicide toll in military hospitals.
Our government orchestrated the needless deaths of COVID patients who did not need to die, she said.
The New Jersey State Chair of former Feds Group previously told the defender that COVID-19 protocols, including remdesivir, that were implemented at a New Jersey hospital, ran roughshod over her parents.
She said the new documents validate our grievances regarding remdesivir and the out-the-window standard of care protocol put in place by our government.
This drug is dangerous and in most cases fatal.
And there has been no transparency or oversight.
There has been no accountability.
These people walked away with their money, including Dr.
Rand Paul and his profits, stock profits.
While people were dying, their deaths were being unlawfully labeled COVID deaths.
According to whistleblower data, 941 military service members, or 64% of those who were treated with remdesivir, died.
Yeah, 941, not 600.
Gilead had already created a monopoly on the drug that they had secured in 2017.
They had a 20-year period to make money off of it.
The drug developed to treat Ebola was subsequently proven to be lethal in human patients.
According to a 2019 New England Journal of Medicine article, remdesivir resulted in the
highest mortality rate among four investigated therapies for Ebola.
Fifty-three percent of the patients died from it, and it didn't help anybody.
Zero efficacy.
Thank you.
53% people die.
You know, I think of Trump's Robert Redfield, who's now being celebrated by the MAGA press because he said nice things about RFK Jr.
and Donald Trump. And he was CDC head under Trump.
And he's put out these ridiculous things about...
Ridiculous projections for which he has absolutely no scientific data, no models.
There's not possible that he could have it.
It's pure speculation.
He says, well, we know that it's just a matter of time before bird flu comes to humans.
No, you don't know that. And then he says, and then we know that when it does, you're going to have 25 to 50% case fatality rate.
Well, pal, that's still quite a bit less than remdesivir.
And it's all projection and fantasy and lies from Robert Redfield.
But because he's associated with Trump, ah, WND, all the MAGA press, he's a great guy now.
He's a great guy. Just because, you know, he supports, well, he was always associated with Trump.
In 2017, two University of North Carolina researchers, including Ralph Baric, right, this guy they love to put in the crosshairs because of gain-of-function research, Received a $6 million grant from Fauci's NIAID to accelerate the development of a promising new drug, remdesivir, and the fight against the deadly coronavirus.
That was in 2017, three years before they pulled this scam.
Despite its deadly history, in February 2020, Gilead Sciences received FDA approval to initiate two Phase III clinical trials to evaluate the efficacy of remdesivir.
It moved quickly through government scrutiny.
Fauci pretty much just single-handedly declared it as a standard of care.
The FDA issuing emergency use authorization in August of 2020 and full approval in October of 2020.
All this, by the way, happened under Trump's You won't see Trump's name anywhere in these articles.
Not from Children's Health Defense.
Not from WND. Not from Gateway Pundit.
Not from any of the people who are now politically associated with Trump.
They will whitewash and cover up any of Trump's association with it.
Trump's fingerprints are all over this.
But nobody will mention his name.
Isn't that amazing? I think it is.
A May 2020 study published in The Lancet brought concerns about the efficacy of remdesivir, noting that the administration of remdesivir was stopped early in China because of adverse events in their patients.
That's the study that I was talking about that went up on the WHO and then it mysteriously was taken down.
I don't know if Fauci had anything to do with that or not.
A 2021 study published by JAMA of over 2,300 veterans hospitalized with COVID found remdesivir treatment was not associated with survival.
That's the quote. Remdesivir is not associated with survival.
It's associated with death.
From it.
They said they had more deaths.
They had longer hospital stays.
Wait a minute. Wasn't it Fauci said, well, it doesn't help anybody.
It's not going to help you survive it as a therapeutic.
That should be the end of the story.
But you get better 30% faster.
No, they had longer hospital stays.
Among the patients who received remdesivir compared with those who did not receive the drug, it's a very expensive drug.
And by the way, if they say that you got COVID, they get a 20% bonus over the price of the drug.
It was for money. That these people, whether you're talking about Rand Paul, or whether you're talking about Fauci, or you're talking about the hospitals, or you're talking about the doctors, they did it for money.
The love of money. The root of all evil.
A true placebo wasn't used.
There was no distinction made as to who received which placebo, ignoring those who didn't finish the trial for various reasons, including adverse events such as death.
In these three trials, all-cause mortality ranged from 3.5% to 7%.
Serious adverse events ranged from 14% to 25%.
But look, they don't know what happened because they didn't keep track of it, didn't keep proper records.
59 participants didn't finish the trial due to death.
That's not counted as an adverse event.
Do you realize that? You see how they rig this stuff?
Death is not an adverse event.
If you die before the trial is over from their drug, that's not a concern.
Well, just ignore that one.
While the trial examined the effects of remdesivir on the treatment of COVID-19, no details are available at clinicaltrials.gov to determine the amount of remdesivir administered to participants.
Kind of like fluoride.
We don't know what the dosage is.
Maybe they'll start dumping remdesivir into the water.
Next time they claim there's a pandemic.
There are no results posted to determine all cause mortality or serious adverse events.
Key details about the risks of remdesivir were concealed from service members.
Do you see a pattern here?
Not going to show you the data.
Not going to show you the data about climate change.
Not going to show you the data about COVID. Not going to show you the data about the virus.
Not going to show you the data about the vaccines or about remdesivir or about anything.
You're not allowed to see anything.
It's all top secret.
Because your government is lying to you about everything.
Gilead's lobbying may have played a role in the lack of military regulatory oversight, you think?
Between 2018 and 2021, Gilead increased its spending on lobbying from $3 million to $8.1 million, tripling it essentially.
By the spring of 2020, taxpayers, taxpayers, Had already funded Gilead to the tune of at least $70.5 million for the development of remdesivir.
That's a great model, isn't it?
You've got no liability, and you have the government pay for your research, development, manufacturing.
They deliver these things for you.
They pay in $3 million, and then they get back $70 million.
Well, that was over several years.
It went from three, it ramped up to nine over three years.
But notice the timeline here.
They come in, they get the patent in 2017, and they start looking, and they say, this is going to fix coronavirus in 2017.
And the government starts pouring taxpayer money into it.
And then it's paycheck time.
And Rand Paul's wife buys stock in the company while all that is happening.
So, yeah, you get tens or thousands of percent return on investment.
And that's just for the research and development.
That doesn't include being able to sell this stuff to the government.
And the government then pays people a 20% bonus to buy your stuff.
Hospitals receive significant payments for administering specific treatments like remdesivir.
The lobbying, the financial incentives, the treatment protocols, all these came from the Trump administration.
Raise questions about the motivations behind Remdesivir's widespread use.
Well, again, look at this stuff.
The political alliances that are being created, you just keep seeing these things happening.
People brought in who pushed all of this stuff.
Let's conclude this with a Brownstone article from Joel Salatin.
He said government can fix neither food nor farm.
Or drugs, either.
They can't fix the farm or the pharma.
They don't want to.
Recently, RFK Jr.
gave his recipe. It's yet another request for government intervention.
He wants the government to cap drug prices, prohibit research grants from going to people with conflicts of interest, reforming crop subsidies to incentivize health alternatives.
All this sounds nice.
But he said, we now have official government findings that Cheerios and Froot Loops are more nutritious than beef.
Who's going to make the kinds of U-turns within the bureaucracies that such changes would require?
You see, if RFK Jr.
comes in, he's going to rearrange a few chairs on the Titanic.
He's not going to change anything. If you want real change, you shut down the FDA. You shut down the HHS, which all these agencies are under.
There's no constitutional authority for any such thing like that.
All of this stuff, including the USDA coming in, bullying local farmers, trying to shut them out.
Inspection of food can and should be done at the state level.
They have state inspectors.
Let them do it. Some states are going to not allow private farms.
We already know that. They're taking the lead in some of this stuff, but others are going to have freedom there, and we can make our choices about that kind of stuff.
If you can't change your state government, get out and go to another one.
But if it's the federal government, there's not much you can do about it, except to try to get people at the local level that are going to nullify that.
He said, I remember, well, when Obama was elected and Michelle put a garden in the White House lawn, my friends in the organic farming community thought the country would enter an ecological farming nirvana.
Until somebody said, hey, remember, there's 10 miles of USDA offices, and that's not going to change.
Exactly right.
It's like the opening of Terry Gilliam's Brazil.
And you've got this camera flying down super fast.
Everybody's going back and forth.
It just keeps going and going and going.
This endless aisle of bureaucrats.
Dr. Joel Walsh suggests that we should recreate the food pyramid with good food and pastured meat and eggs on the bottom instead of on the top.
And you'd have to move the entire climate change cow farts narrative to make this happen, which we know that RFK Jr.
will not do, right?
I mean, you know, he's still pushing all that nonsense.
And it was only about 10 or 15 years ago that if you didn't believe in that stuff and you disputed his so-called science, he wanted to put you in jail.
And he hasn't repented of that.
Instead, what he did was he lied about what he actually said.
RFK Jr. The most disempowering mindset is one that assumes the only solutions are from the government.
You see? Now, here are the things that we need to look at.
And we're going to do the same exercise with the Christian voters here.
The most disempowering mindset is to think that the only solutions can come from the government, from the federal government even.
That's even more disempowering.
He said, so here's some of the things we could do.
And it begins with some government things.
So we should pass Congressman Thomas Massey's constitutional amendment.
The right of the people to grow food and to purchase food from the source of their choice shall not be infringed.
And Congress shall make no law regulating the production and distribution of food products which do not move across state lines.
And folks, that's something that could happen theoretically.
You know, there's nobody else like Thomas Massey up there, unfortunately.
That ain't gonna happen. Republican Speaker Mike Johnson isn't going to allow that to happen.
But that can happen at state levels.
We've had a lot of these types of things done in Tennessee.
And so that's one of the reasons why you had the left and big business pour such money into the race to get rid of people like Senator Frank Nicely, who helped to get these types of things through.
He was working with Thomas Massey on that.
They don't want this kind of stuff put through at the state level, so they're going to buy some fake Republicans, which they did.
They bought that election. It's just amazing.
I've never seen anything like it.
And I've been in politics for a long time.
Karen's nodding her head. Yeah, I've never seen anything like it either.
Just amazing. I've never seen anybody really as honest and as on point as Senator Nicely, and I've never seen them drop a bomb, a money bomb on anybody with a totally anonymous guy.
No history, no background, no issues, no nothing.
Just a bunch of lies and massive advertising campaign.
And we still don't know who Jesse Seals is.
He's just this anonymous person.
No backer. He's like Melchizedek.
You know, he just comes out of nowhere with no explanation.
Thousands and thousands of farmers and non-farmers wish to engage in neighborly food commerce, but current regulations prohibit these transactions.
Try selling raw milk in Virginia.
Try making a chicken pot pie and selling it to a neighbor.
Try selling a pound of sausage from a home-butchered backyard pig to a neighbor.
It's illegal. All of that.
Why? They start with the lemonade stands, right?
And get the local cops off of the kids' backs.
And if a state wants to make it legal, the federal government intercedes to recriminalize it.
This simple addition of standing for consumers to exercise food choices, voluntary consenting adults with their farm neighbors would completely revolutionize America's food system.
The centralization and the opaqueness in America's food system is upon us precisely because of government overreach.
These people are pro-choice only when it comes to killing babies.
Everything else, including whether you want to buy some food from your neighbor next door, not allowed.
Not allowed. Hey, you want to kill your baby?
Yeah, we'll offer that. If you want to buy your food at Walmart, fine.
Enjoy the government oversight.
But if I want to go to a neighbor's farm and look around and smell around and voluntarily opt out of the federal government's protection, I should be able to choose my microbiome's fuel.
And how could anybody oppose that?
Secondly, eliminate all government intervention in healthcare.
All licensing, all payments, all research, everything.
It's not the government's job, among its enumerated powers, to tell us how to be healthy or to fix sickness.
By the way, isn't it interesting that even this person who is focused on getting government out of our life, when he says government, by default he means the federal government.
And that's the mindset of everybody now in America.
The government is the federal government.
You know, they've subsumed pretty much all power to themselves.
So whenever he talks about local government, he makes that, if he just says government, that by default means the federal government.
And this is somebody who doesn't buy into it.
That's how they have messed with our perspectives, how they have moved the Overton window.
Eliminate all government intervention in food, welfare, and education, he says.
Well, as we're talking about them hiding and lying information, a Pfizer report has just come out that shows that 40% more heart conditions in the vaccinated.
Pfizer hid that from everybody.
They knew it going in.
That's why I say there's a tremendous amount of fraud that needs to be not just exposed, but needs to be litigated against Pfizer.
But when you think about how powerful they are, I've been kicked off of one platform after the other because of the demands of the pharmaceutical companies.
In Northern Ireland, they have a new public health bill that if it becomes law will make it legal for them to mandate vaccines.
Mandate vaccines. And this is, you know, they were very clever about what they said.
They said, well, you know, we haven't actually...
Mandated vaccines. We're just coercing you.
We're just telling you that you won't have a life or a job or travel or anything else.
So, you know, you need to do what we tell you.
The thing I thought that was the most comical, I actually had quite a laugh of this.
You know, we've got this new book that is coming out from Bob Woodward at the Washington Post.
You know, like the Woodward and Bernstein team from Watergate and everything.
And he's got a new book and he's got all these claims about Trump.
And he doesn't list his sources.
Do you find that to be credible?
Look, I rejected all the stuff about Q and QAnon and everything.
It's like, okay, well, you're telling me that you've got some anonymous source.
I'm sorry. I don't care.
I don't care what you say about that stuff.
That sounds to me like an Intel game.
And this sounds to me like an Intel game.
And I think that Woodward and Bernstein were a part of an orchestrated coup to take down Richard Nixon.
And I don't support Richard Nixon.
I hated Richard Nixon.
I was kind of happy to see him go.
I was real happy to see him go, quite frankly.
And I was just in high school and college when they got him out.
So I was real glad to see Nixon go.
But I thought it was concerning, the fact that it was essentially a coup.
And that's what Woodward is trying to do.
He even makes comparisons to Nixon and what he's doing.
Well, I make comparisons to what these guys did at the time.
So he's got some anonymous sources.
That is talking about how Donald Trump gave COVID tests to Putin at the time that we had a shortage in 2020.
And now we've got a senator, I think it's out of Connecticut, saying, can you imagine this?
You know, we didn't have enough tests and he gave tests to Putin.
Well, look, if it was even true, I would say that could have been a real case of 4D chess.
Here, let me cripple you and your economy giving you some of these phony PCR tests.
And so Drudge was all about this a couple days ago.
Woodward, blockbuster, Trump, close relation with Putin, many phone calls in the past few years.
It's all based on anonymous sources from a guy that we know works for the CIA. This is as credible as if Brennan had made these claims.
It has absolutely no credibility at all.
But there's a guy who has put together...
He uses very crude AI animation.
And it's always anti-Trump.
But it's always funny.
And I don't say that just because I don't support Trump.
I don't support any of these people. But I have seen in the past, even when it was politicians or issues that they were attacking with satire, I could see the humor in it.
And I thought this is...
I'll play this for you. This is...
This is his version of Trump and Putin and the test.
And he even throws in there Trump sending him some military secret documents.
Donald, I am sniffling, sneezing, aching.
My head is stuffy.
I'm feverish and I got abreast.
What do you want me to do about it?
I'm not president anymore.
I shouldn't even be talking to you.
I worry it is COVID-19 and I don't want to end up on ventilator.
COVID, it's just a flu.
I think you can even inject some bleach.
Please send me many COVID tests as soon as possible or else.
Hey Wolf, send this box of COVID supplies to you know who and you know where.
Also send US nuclear installation location coordinates.
Let's go people. We gotta get all these documents over to Vlad and in a hurry.
Come on. I really hate that sad loser, Mr.
Newburger. Who, me?
That's a great satire.
Do not obey. They engineered the stage of COVID deaths with a two-week delay story to cover all the deaths that occurred within the 48 hours as being unvaccinated.
Absolutely right. Guard Goldsmith.
Good to see you, Guard. Guard Liberty Conspiracy.
In the evenings on Twitter, on Rockfin, and he's also on Substack.
He says, greetings, comrades.
As a pharma rep, please join me at the back trunk of my car while I'll hand out the samples of the new drugs that might kill you.
Thanks and happy Friday, he says.
Yona Anawodi, Fauci is the Silicon word for Sicilian, I think.
Yeah, it's a Silicon word.
It was a Silicon, wasn't it?
It is a Sicilian word for sickle.
As in the Grim Reaper's blade.
Well, that's interesting. I didn't know that.
Fitting. Very good.
Thank you. He's the Reaper.
He's the Grim Reaper. Bob Ferguson, 63.
Trump was treated with Regeneron.
Yeah, yeah. I don't know what they gave any of these politicians, quite frankly.
I never believed any of this stuff.
Oh, you got the vaccine? Oh, yeah.
I saw pictures of you getting something injected into your arm, maybe.
I don't know what it was. Brian and Deb McCartney.
There is a pastor who bought an old church as a home near here.
He makes plain, simple pine coffins for a reasonable price after doing so many funerals that literally buried families financially.
Wow. That's another one of the things that they incentivized.
If you would accept their determination of COVID, they would even give some money to the families to help with the funeral services.
I'm sure it wasn't enough.
They threw money out for everything.
You identify somebody, you get this.
And then you get $13,000, you get a 20% bonus on everything you do to them in the hospital.
You put on a ventilator, $39,000, plus 20%, as long as you've got them on the thing until you kill them with a ventilator.
And on and on, even to the extent of telling the families, oh, well, you accept our diagnosis that they died of COVID and we'll give you some cash.
It's just amazing. It was all money.
And like I said, the responsibility for this stuff, the buck stops with Trump, but the buck started with him.
It was all about that.
Well, we're going to take a quick break and we'll be right back.
Here's a little song I wrote.
The latest song I wrote.
You might want to hear it in your part.
You know nothing.
And be happy.
Ain't got no cash, ain't got no car, but 24 booster shots in your arm.
Oh, nothing. Be happy.
You can't even buy s*** in the store because of your low social credit score.
Oh, nothing.
Be happy.
You owe nothing.
And be happy.
Be happy and eat the bugs!
You're listening to The David Knight Show.
Night Show.
you Well, the Babylon Bee says Democrats are perplexed as to why a candidate that nobody ever voted for is slipping in the polls.
You know, that's an important point.
Nobody ever voted for Lala, not even as a presidential candidate.
She was so far behind the pack.
She was polling less than 1%.
She dropped out when she ran for president in 2020.
She dropped out before they even got to the Iowa caucuses.
Nobody ever voted for her.
Nobody. And so the question is, why are they surprised that this would be happening, if it in fact is happening?
And I don't know.
It's hard to tell. When you look at a lot of the different polling things, it seems like Trump is ahead.
But again, do you trust the polls?
Do you believe that they're going to honestly count the votes?
I don't. I don't believe any of that stuff.
And at the same time, the important part about the polls, as I've said, there is such a thing as a push poll.
Which they typically will do, and they'll put out characterizations of issues and everything, not to find out what you think, but to push you in a particular direction.
That's what all this election nonsense is about.
It's about manufacturing consent for what they want to do.
And so as we see this stuff being put out there, at the same time, there's a very different narrative.
And mainstream media, represented to a large degree by the Drudge Report, but in other mainstream media, too.
You go to the Hill, you go to CNN and, you know, New York Times.
They have one story about the election.
And then Breitbart and WorldNetDaily and Infowars and Gateway Pundit, they've got a whole other story about the polls.
And so, if a candidate is ahead, you'll see something like the Drudge Report says, well, look at this.
Lala is doing really good with this very narrow demographic.
So what? Right?
Even the polls that they take at large about America, that doesn't mean anything anyway.
If you look at the The Electoral College allocation of things, and you look at these seven states, which are really going to determine where the election is, even there, you can't really accurately predict it.
I mean, that's what Nate Silver does.
And, you know, he missed it significantly in the 2016 elections.
And a resurfaced clip.
Now, this is really amazing.
And this is something that, oh, well, that's it.
I'm going to go. If you listen to what she has to say, talking about how with a swipe of a pen, she can destroy somebody's life.
And taking glee in it.
Lala Harris. It is so manifestly evil.
She is like Hillary Clinton.
And I would just say that when they get to a certain point, like Clinton, or like Klaus Schwab, or like Lala Harris, then the danger starts to diminish, in my opinion, because you know who these people are, and you're going to fight them.
The danger is that we go to sleep.
The danger is that we trust somebody.
The danger is that we think that they're behind us and they're really there just to stab us in the back.
But listen to her when she talks about the swipe of a pen.
I learned, I think I was, I don't know, 22 when I started that work.
I learned that with the swipe of my pen...
I could charge someone with the lowest level offense.
And because of the swipe of my pen, that person could be arrested.
They could sit in jail for at least 48 hours.
They could lose time from work and their family, maybe lose their job.
They'd have to come out of their own pocket to help hire a lawyer.
They'd lose standing in their community.
All because of the swipe of my pen.
Weeks later, I could dismiss the charges, but their life would forever be changed.
So I learned at a very young age the power.
Yeah, power.
Wow. Isn't that amazing?
That was in 2020, and that was at a Democrat speech that was made before New Hampshire.
And you can see why even the Democrats wouldn't vote for her in 2020.
Why she had less than 1% support.
People talk about Lala being drunk all the time.
She's drunk with power.
Drunk with power. With a swipe of my pen.
I could do a swipe of my pen.
I could do that. How evil.
But it's good that you know the people who are evil.
It's important for you to know.
Especially when we don't have any heroes on the horizon.
There's nobody coming to rescue you.
So that was in 2020.
A clip from May of 2019.
She talks about weaponizing the Department of Justice against free speech.
This has been around for quite some time.
...will put the Department of Justice of the United States back in the business...
of justice. We will double the Civil Rights Division and direct law enforcement to counter this extremism.
We will hold social media platforms accountable for the hate infiltrating their platforms because they have a responsibility to help fight against this threat to our democracy.
And if you profit off of hate, if you act as a megaphone for misinformation or cyber warfare, if you don't police your platforms, we are going to hold you accountable as a community.
Yep. And they did, didn't they?
What happened next?
Well, you know, if she gets in, the Department of Justice pushed to radically rewrite Section 230.
See, 230 was supposed to recognize the fact that these social media platforms are not actually curating information.
They're not editors.
They're not supporting this or that.
They're just a place where people go to post stuff, right?
It's like the public square. It's a digital public square, as Jack Dorsey said.
The reality, though...
Is that they're being coerced behind the scenes.
And now we have people like Lala and Hillary and the rest of them saying, get rid of the 230 and we want to censor directly.
They don't even care that everybody sees that it's in direct violation of the Constitution of the First Amendment.
They don't care anymore. They were doing this behind closed doors with coercion and threats.
And said, you know, tell everybody this is your decision, right?
We've now seen the documents released, so they don't care anymore.
Now that everybody knows, I always said that.
I said, this isn't the decision of these social media companies.
And to the extent that it is, the social media companies that succeeded were picked by the Intel community.
You know, In-Q-Tel, the venture capital firm of the CIA, and so many of these other venture capital firms that helped to establish all these social media companies as well as Google.
They had, you know, In-Q-Tel was completely owned by the CIA, but the intelligence community had a lot of people on the boards of these other venture capital firms, and so they picked people that were going to work with them and for them.
But now that's all been exposed.
So we knew it was coming from them.
But it's all been exposed. So now the government's going to drop the pretense.
And you've got people like Hillary. You've got people like Lala Harris saying, we're just going to shut people down.
I don't like what Elon Musk is doing.
And he had a privilege.
He's violated that privilege.
We're going to take that away from him, she said.
Then it showered millions of dollars on misinformation czars.
They prosecuted a guy who made a meme about Hillary Clinton suggesting people could vote by text while taking no action against a Democrat who did the exact same thing in the opposite direction.
Sent him to jail.
The Biden-Harris administration infiltrated Twitter to censor COVID misinformation and the Hunter Biden laptop story and paid them for it.
Yeah, it's always been done behind the scenes, that kind of stuff, but now it's out in the open, and now they openly defy the First Amendment.
The Biden-Harris Surgeon General demanded that social media platforms censor misinformation during the pandemic.
Biden-Harris' transgender HHS Assistant Secretary, who would that be?
The guy that calls himself Rachel Levine, I call him Dick Devine, demanded that social media platforms censor misinformation over gender-affirming care for children.
Yes, let this perverse pedophile have his way.
He's actually a child psychologist, the guy who calls himself Rachel.
Can imagine what he did with the children as a psychologist.
And then a leaked 2022 FBI pamphlet that listed misinformation and disinformation as election crimes.
Well, you know, I guess if we want the First Amendment, we're going to have to vote for Trump, right?
Hold on. Trump has done it again.
I told you. I played the clips for you.
Wallace Harris says we're going to take down these people who say things I don't like.
Twitter, that's a privilege to take that away from him.
Trump says the same thing.
It's a license. They should have their license revoked, and he did it again.
You know, this last week over on Sunday...
We had 60 Minutes Air, that phony thing with Lala Harris, and everybody saw how phony it was.
And that could have been a big victory for Trump.
And yet, what he did was he snatched defeat out of the jaws of victory, essentially, by his petulant childishness, his obsession with all of that, and And now he's escalated to demanding that CBS be pulled off the air in a rage-filled rant on so-called truth social.
All of that because he didn't like it.
He says CBS News should lose its license over the 60-minute special with Lala Harris.
And he threatened the same thing about ABC after the debate, where he obviously lost it.
He lost the debate, and then he lost it after the debate.
Anybody that he doesn't like the press coverage that he gets, he wants to pull their license.
See, we don't need his help.
We don't need him to shut down the free press and free speech.
We can discern this.
And we can tell who the tyrants are.
And both of them. They're from the Uni Party.
Both of these people from the Uni Party hate the First Amendment and are God-given rights.
Trump's wrath over the CBS 60 Minutes interview, quote-unquote, it's not an interview.
It was a puff piece, and everybody saw it.
He demanded that the century-old network and all other TV news stations lose their broadcasting licenses.
And that's actually what he did.
This is coming from the Huffington Post.
You won't see this on the MAGA press talking about this.
They give Trump a free pass.
They freak out. When Lala Harris says it, and rightfully so, about Twitter.
But when Trump says it again and again and again, they completely ignore it in the MAGA press.
Trump charged on social media that they should lose their license and it should be bid out to the highest bidder, as should all other broadcast licenses because they're just as corrupt as CBS, and maybe even worse.
And you thought that Infowars being sold was only the Democrats, right?
I mean, this is what Trump wants to do to media that he doesn't like.
They're no different. So the politician that A.J. sold himself to would do the same thing to everybody else.
It's not about free speech at all, is it?
It's conceivable that Trump, who has long had a bad relationship with the press, could
act on this threat if he wins back the White House.
Experts have noted that there is an obscure provision in the 1934 Communications Act that
allows presidents to shut down broadcasters in the interests of national emergency or
national security.
Wow.
Thank you.
Trump and Biden love emergencies, don't they?
And they love emergency executive orders.
And so, yeah, if you've got capability to shut down broadcasters by declaring an emergency, I could certainly see them do that.
See, these people have sides and they have interests.
What they don't have is any principles.
Just last month, he called into Fox News and said that the FCC ought to take away ABC's license for its handling of the September debate between him and Harris.
And again, that was ignored by the sycophant Trump press.
Trump made the same demands about NBC and CNN earlier in the year when they didn't broadcast his full speech after he won Iowa's caucuses.
He said, I have long criticized NBC and their journalistic standards, worse than even CNN. Look at their license.
The freedom of press and speech is not a privilege.
As Lala seems to think it is.
And for free speech and the freedom of the press is not about a license, as Trump seems to think.
Trump has nothing but contempt for the Constitution.
That's why I have nothing but contempt for him.
And I have contempt for these sycophant press, all aligned behind him.
They're just as bad as the people on the left.
And while you've got this division of left and right, they're all coming after the First Amendment.
They're all coming after freedom of press.
They're all coming after freedom of speech.
So, again, you had these two different clips.
CBS destroyed its credibility.
And the clips destroyed any idea that Lala Harris has got a brain.
And so, you know, he didn't need to do this.
Instead, he's not even wise about how he proceeds with this stuff.
He makes it then about his petulance and his ego, his narcissism.
This is what he wrote. Two posts on truth.
He said 60 Minutes is a major part of the news organization of CBS, which has just created the greatest fraud in broadcast history.
CBS should lose its license, and it should be bid out to the highest bidder, as should all the other broadcast licenses, because they are just as corrupt as CBS, and maybe even worse.
Let's take the licenses of all the media out there, everybody that says anything bad about me.
And it says, with me, 60 Minutes does the exact opposite.
They take everything I say, they realize how totally brilliant, all uppercase, brilliant it is, and then they take it out.
So with Lala, they add, with Trump, they delete.
Like the Democrat Party, they are a threat to democracy.
This preening narcissist, so much like Mussolini, When they realize how totally brilliant what I had to say is, they want to take it out.
When will the GOP realize that they've been taken over by a New York Democrat, an eyes-wide-shut Jeffrey Epstein, Bill Clinton pervert, who works with a globalist to enact their complete agenda as he did in 2020?
When are they going to realize that?
I hope you realize it.
Probably... Do or you would have shut me off by now.
And so, if that wasn't bad enough, he goes to Detroit.
And when he's in Detroit, he trashes Detroit at an event in Detroit.
And of course, Michigan is one of these seven states that are going to do the election.
I mean, this guy snatches, even from just a practical standpoint, He can't even run a campaign.
Trump took the opportunity while giving a speech at the Detroit Economic Club to bash the city of Detroit.
I don't think anything we're talking about today is high on their list.
The whole country is going to be like, well, you want to know what the truth is?
The whole country will be like Detroit, he says when he's in Detroit.
The swing state.
Astonishment and outrage from commenters on social media, as it did when Trump called Milwaukee, Wisconsin, a horrible city just days before the GOP hosted its presidential convention there.
One writer, Thor Benson, I don't know who this guy is, said, always smart to insult an important swing state.
Another one says, imagine standing in Detroit and saying, vote for me so you don't end up like this place.
Another one. Thanks for inviting me to your crap hole city.
I'm going to use it as an example of what a failing nation would look like to your faces.
Anyhow, vote for me, losers.
That's basically Trump.
Okay, so in light of all that, you've got evangelicals calling for spiritual warfare to elect Trump.
They see Trump as an anointed figure.
He opposes abortion, same-sex marriage, but his main goal is to elevate Christians to greater influence to transform society, they say.
Is that right? Yeah.
He opposes abortion, same-sex marriage.
No, Trump doesn't support those.
Like I said earlier, Roe v.
Wade being overturned happened.
He didn't expect that.
I mean, that strategy that hadn't worked for him.
43 years. He didn't expect that.
I mean, he used it to get elected, but, you know, as I said, Blake Masters and all these other people start running as fast as they can away from being pro-life as soon as that happened.
He didn't expect that to happen, and he doesn't want it to happen.
And he's kicked back against that as much as he can.
And his wife, you know, just putting out things about how proud she is of her porn.
How proud they are of same-sex marriage.
They catered to that.
They said, he's the first, in 2020 when he's running for election, he's the first president to come into office supporting same-sex marriage.
He supported trannies in beauty contests and the beauty contest that he owned.
He said, yeah, let's have some trannies come in, you know, that time, years ago.
So his goal is to, we're told that his goal is to elevate Christians to greater influence to transform society.
These hypocrites, hypocrites are a reproach to Christ.
If Christians aren't out there voting, Christians aren't going to have a voice in this country, said J.D. Vance.
Well, here's the thing, J.D., and here's the thing, all these Christian leaders that are out there.
Christ didn't die to create a voting bloc.
Christ didn't die for your social club or for your political party or for your church as a group.
He died for a completely different reason.
He died for each and every one of our sins.
It has nothing to do with your voting block.
Christians that have become a voting block have neutralized themselves.
And so then the bulk of this article from the Wall Street Journal focuses on some guy named Walnau I've never heard of.
This is a guy who doesn't have a megachurch, like a Joel Osteen or something like that, right?
Or Paula White, another one of these people.
Oh, Paula White.
That's his chief, somebody like Paula White.
That's his chief spiritual advisor.
Whatever. I might as well just get a sorceress.
But he became a mega-evangelical celebrity through his endorsement of Trump, they say.
Oh, I don't know who this guy is.
I don't travel in those circles.
Walno? Walno?
I don't know. Where's Walno?
I don't know where Walno is, but maybe that's the thing.
Maybe he wears like some kind of a striped shirt or something.
You can always pick him out of a crowd.
I'm for people with a Christian worldview.
Even if they're not a card-carrying evangelical like Trump, he said.
If Trump is better at it than we are, I'm going to get behind him.
So, is Trump better at selling a Christian worldview?
I just listed for you all the stuff that he's about.
How is any of that a Christian worldview?
There's absolutely nothing in his worldview that aligns with Christ.
Or with a mission of Christians.
And this is what I object to.
These people keep trying to portray him as such.
When you look at Trump's life, what is it characterized by?
Lust of the flesh.
Lust of the eye.
Greed. Pride of life.
Position. Power.
And his unbelievable pride and narcissism.
None of that shows any Christian character.
It is all antithetical to Christ.
And then you've got Ralph Reed, who's always been hustling for decades, and he's out there.
He's going to spend $62 million this year, he said.
Reed's Faith and Freedom Coalition says it's already knocked on 4.2 million doors and is on track to hit 10 million doors.
Please come and knock on my door.
I want to have a word with you.
I really do. I'd love for one of these guys to come knock on my door.
Walno... Well, we know where Walno is.
He's based in Dallas.
That's where Walno is.
Offers a new and different model of political activism.
He doesn't lead a megachurch or large ministry like Joel Osteen or Rick Warren or these other grifters.
Instead, Walno reaches millions of people online through his podcasts on YouTube and a Facebook page.
Hmm. Google is okay with him.
They don't like me.
Ralph Reed says his organization, Faith and Freedom Coalition, is reaching more conservative Christian voters at the door in 2024 than any faith-based organization in the history of modern American politics.
Faith-based. You notice he says that?
Faith-based, not Christian.
Their faith is not based in Christ.
Their trust is not in Christ.
Their trust is in Trump.
Do you trust your Lord and Savior Trump?
I guess that's what they're going to ask when they knock on the door.
Do you trust your Lord and Savior Trump?
Look, Trump is a cane that when you lean on it, will pierce your hand.
That's what he is. He defends Trump as an imperfect politician who nevertheless has been anointed by God, and he knows about that, right?
Does he? Walno argued in his book, God's Chaos Candidate, The apparently irreligious billionaire was akin to Cyrus, the Persian king, who didn't acknowledge God, but was chosen to liberate the Jews from exile in Babylon for their return to Jerusalem.
Well, I got a question about that.
Did Cyrus not acknowledge God?
What do you think about that?
Let's just review the history of this and what happened.
Isaiah, the prophet, Said, essential paraphrase, Cyrus, I take you by the hand to do this and so forth.
And laid out what Cyrus later did.
That was in the book of Isaiah.
Isaiah lived 740 BC, roughly, when he began writing.
200 years before Cyrus began, you know, the Persian king, before his conquest and his takeover of Babylon and everything.
So he comes in and into Babylon and they bring him in.
They show him this ancient script, this ancient document that's 200 years old.
They roll this thing out and there's his name.
He says, I've taken you by the hand, Cyrus, and this is what I want you to do.
Do you think that Cyrus didn't acknowledge God?
If he didn't acknowledge God, then why did he give the order that these guys get everything that they need to rebuild Jerusalem and they can go home?
Why? If he didn't acknowledge God, then why did that not happen?
Well, you know, Donald Trump's name is not in the Bible.
Donald Trump's name is on the cover of the Bible.
And he's not acknowledging God.
And I don't think that God has taken him by the hand, quite frankly.
This is the beginning of a popular Christian uprising.
They will not be able to ignore you, he said, said Walno.
And he says, you know, I was in Washington on January the 6th.
And so, first of all, these people are always saying that Trump's going to win.
False prophet. And then, if he is in Washington on January the 6th, the guy doesn't even have any discernment.
Okay? Not only is he not a prophet, he doesn't have any discernment.
I don't call myself a prophet.
I can't predict the future or whatever, as he claims that he can, right?
But I can see what's coming.
By paying attention. He said, I was cold.
And so I just went into the Trump Hotel and I got some tomato soup.
And the next thing I know, I'm watching all these shenanigans going on.
Yeah, who knew that it was going to turn into that?
I told people that for months.
I got fired for telling people that.
And I told people that the morning of.
That morning, January the 6th.
I said, stay away from that place.
This guy's got no clue about that at all.
But he's going to tell you that he's got a word from God.
Well, God didn't tell him to stay away from January the 6th.
He first met the former president at Trump Tower in Manhattan at the invitation of Paula White, another one of these frauds and grifters who have attached themselves to Donald Trump.
Just absolutely amazing to see this.
Well, again, you know, we're going to take a quick break.
And we'll come back. And I want to talk specifically about what we can and should do.
Not just about, you know, what is not working here.
Jason Barker, thank you for the tip.
I appreciate that. He says, here's the lesson.
If they can't predict the strength of a storm a couple of days out, then how can they predict all this climate change stuff decades out?
That's exactly right.
And I've said that the longest time.
Karen and I have weather.
We've got a couple of different weather apps on our phones.
And why do we have them on there?
Well, I find it amusing to look at the temperatures in Austin.
If I'm having a bad day, I look at it and go, well, it could be worse.
I could be in 110 degree weather in Austin instead of here.
And so it's always, you know, a bit of a lift up.
But so we look at it and we look at our different phone.
And I've mentioned this before.
We look at our different phone apps and they all have different temperatures.
Why is that? Well, because they're reading from different thermometers.
And these temperatures will, depending on where the thermometer is located, it'll vary by two or three degrees.
Now, we're told that if the temperature varies by a degree, we're all going to die.
Polarized caps will melt and all the rest of the stuff.
What is your standard of reference?
You know, and so if it increases more than a degree, well, maybe you, by just moving your thermometer, you could get something like that.
All of this stuff is so incredibly phony.
So I've got my own apps.
I look at them. They're different. I talk to Karen.
She's got a different set of apps.
They're all different. You get about as many different results as you've got apps.
It's amazing. And thank you very much for the tip.
It's a great Fausty impression.
Jeb Clanton, thank you very much.
I appreciate that. He says, thank you, David, and thank Tony as well.
I love Wise Wolf Gold.
I'm looking forward to Wolf Picks.
Go Wolf Pack.
The Wise Wolf Pack.
Also, love RNC Stores products.
Great toothpaste. I haven't seen that.
I'm focused more on their books, actually.
But, you know, they've got, you can go there and you can get The vitamin B17, which is an extract from the apricot seeds.
You can get the whole apricot seed if you want to get the whole stuff as well.
They sell that.
And very rich in B17. It's got a lot of value to that.
G. Edward Griffin, he's focused even more on that as a healthy thing, as a block to
cancer developing and things like that.
G. Edward Griffin is more focused on that even than he is on the Federal Reserve. And so yeah, if you go
to the R&C store you can get 10% off if you use a code night. And we really do
appreciate, we've had him on a couple of times, we'll have him on some more to talk
about all of that.
Appreciate him standing there with all the persecution that his father and his
father's friend suffered when they talked about natural and healthy things.
And again, when he's talking about wolf picks, the wolf pack is something that Tony set up some time ago, and you can get there with davidknight.gold.
And that allows you to join a buying group, and you can get the group discount by being a part of that group.
You can sign up at a particular level that you would like to buy each month, and so it's a way for you to gradually save and do price averaging and also get a group discount, Wolfpack.
He also sells gold and silver straight up or helps you with metal IRAs if you want to do all that stuff.
But he's got something new that he mentioned yesterday, Wolfpix.
Yeah. And Wolf Picks will...
He's going to set the price of gold and silver at the beginning of the day or whatever.
And that fluctuates based on things that he buys back from people.
So each day they're going to have a pick, and I'm not exactly sure how that's going to work.
It's going to be dropping pretty soon, but he described that yesterday.
So it'll be interesting to see what happens with that.
Sam Miller, one, two, three.
Thank you very much. That's very generous.
I appreciate it. He says, David, thank you for being faithful and keeping it real.
Well, thank you. Thank you very much.
I appreciate the prayers for my family.
Thank you. Atomic Dog.
Help David Knight expose the deep state by liking the video.
Thank you for your daily reminder because I always forget.
I am really bad at promotion.
If I could be better at promotion, we could do better with this maybe, but it also would help if I wasn't banned off of all the major platforms.
But since I am, and since they shadow ban me, if they don't kick me off, please do like the broadcast and share it with other people.
We really do appreciate that.
That's something that if you don't have the money to support us, that would be a big help.
So we really would appreciate that.
We're going to take a quick break, and when we come back, we're going to talk a little bit about Christians and politics in terms of what we can do in a more positive way, I think.
So we'll be right back So we'll be right back
So we'll be right back So we'll be right back
So we'll be right back music
music music
You're listening to The David Knight Show.
you ...politics. Catholic dioceses across the U.S. are refusing to offer masses for Trump, says LifeSite News, a Catholic site.
And they said the most common explanation, and they go through in a very lengthy article, they talk to one location after the other, and they say a common explanation being that they cannot get involved in anything political due to their tax-exempt status.
Well, that simply is not true.
That all comes based on a fraud that It was put out by Lyndon Johnson, LBJ. They call it the Johnson Amendment.
And by calling it that, it's not an amendment.
He didn't amend anything.
What they did was they changed the IRS code.
They didn't change the law, didn't amend the Constitution.
But by calling it an amendment, a lot of people are like, well, you know, we have the First Amendment.
We can have free speech.
We have the free exercise of religion.
We can do whatever we want. But there's now this Johnson Amendment.
Oh, did that change the First Amendment?
No, it didn't. Didn't.
Didn't even change the IRS code.
And we know this because there was a group that did Pulpit Freedom Sunday.
And they found two or three people and said, let's challenge this because it is in violation of the First Amendment.
And so they recorded their sermons.
They made explicit candidate endorsements.
And it doesn't have to just be president, right?
It could be anything. It could be an office that's actually going to make a difference in your life.
And so they did these very explicit, they said, we're going to vote for this candidate over here because they're pro-life or whatever.
And they sent the recordings to the IRS and said, we don't believe that the Johnson Amendment can, so we're ready to test this.
Do what you can. They didn't do anything.
So the next year it went from like two or three, went to like a dozen.
Then the next year it went to like three or four dozen.
And they finally stopped because it's obvious that the IRS was not going to do anything about it.
It's fake intimidation.
Don't let them intimidate you from talking about these issues.
They are important, even if I don't believe that Trump is going to do anything to help anybody.
But we've got article after article after article everywhere saying there are 32 million church-attending Christians will sit out this election.
And Not the Bee, which is set up by a guy who used to be with a Babylon Bee, says this.
He says, now you know who to think is.
If Kamala wins.
In other words, now you know who to blame is what he's saying.
Right? Well, I think it's important to understand, and this is a quote from C.S. Lewis that was tweeted out by Shannon Joy.
The devil, says C.S. Lewis, in mere Christianity, he says, the devil always sends errors into the world in pairs.
Like a Republican and Democrat.
The pairs of opposites.
And he always encourages us to spend a lot of time thinking about which one is the worst.
You see why, of course?
He relies on your extra dislike of the one error to draw you gradually to the opposite one.
So now you know what this election is about.
And this should give you some insight to the people at Not the Bee or the World Net Daily or Breitbart or Gateway Punt, whoever is telling you that if you're a Christian, you've got to vote for this person or that person.
Yes, I know they're evil, but it's a lesser of evil.
I want to just memorize that quote from C.S. Lewis.
The devil always sends out evil in pairs.
So that you get focused on the lesser.
And so he goes here, he says, here's this, he said, this study estimated that 5 million additional Christians would likely vote if they simply received an exhortation from their pastor to do so.
Which evil, pastor, are you going to support?
Which one of these two evils?
Is that really what you want to do?
So, as that was being put out, There were all these posts yesterday when I got onto social media to put up some of the cuts from yesterday.
This one, for example, from Allie Beth Stuckey, who I have no idea who this person is.
I feel like so much of what my pastor is saying is that we as Christians need to avoid politics and that no one party will save us.
This kind of message is so common.
Well, I would just say this.
I'm not telling people to avoid politics.
As a matter of fact, I always say, if you're not interested in politics, you better understand that politics is interested in you.
You better take an interest. You better understand where the threats are coming from.
And you better move to counteract those threats.
I just tell people that the appropriate move is not going to be found in the Oval Office.
The appropriate move is not going to be found in a presidential candidate, especially when we have two people who are proven to be backstabbing, lying traitors and evil to their core.
Why would you vote for either one of these people?
She says, Pastor, it is not godly to tell your congregation no party will save you and leave it at that.
That is not nuance.
It's cowardice.
Well, let me tell you what cowardice and stupidity are.
That's thinking that by checking a box on a ballot, you're done.
And there isn't anything else that you really need to do.
That, first of all, isn't going to make any difference to anything.
But that is the sum total of what most of these people are about.
They're all saying this in the context, just like that other guy who was saying, we got to understand that we got to shut down government.
Even with that, by government, he means federal government.
And by participation, what they mean is participation in the presidential candidates.
And she goes on to say this, Allie Beth Stuckey.
Love your neighbor and voting for policies that destroy the created order are at odds.
You see, these are the same people who tried to get you to inject that Mark of the Beast abomination poison that Trump was pushing.
Saying that it's loving your neighbor.
I saw that being pushed out by Al Mohler, Franklin Graham, so many, you know, Protestants, Catholics, all over them.
Love your neighbor. That was a propaganda point that was created by Yale in that study.
I talked about that in July of 2020.
And then all of a sudden, you got all of these pastors and seminary professors and priests and prelates and everybody telling them, gotta love your neighbor, gotta get that vaccine.
It's like, they're just passing on Yale propaganda, where they realize it or not.
Eric Metaxas, David Limbaugh, also had strong words for Christians who refused to vote.
So, again, why are so many influential pastors avoiding the topic?
No, don't avoid the topic.
Speak to it. Babylon Bee editor Joel Berry had thoughts.
He said, Christian, your vote is a responsibility entrusted to you by God.
Don't waste it. And I say, don't waste your time on the federal.
Yes, do vote.
Do get involved in politics, but at the local level.
And understand that politics is downstream from your relationship with God and importance and everything else.
And it's downstream from your relationship with your family.
And it's even downstream from your relationship with your community.
So I said, pro-life Christians, this is what I said at the beginning of the program, pro-life Christians should give God, not Trump, the glory for overturning Roe v.
Wade. It was answered prayer.
Trump neither knew that would happen.
As you can see, he did not want that to happen.
Let's stop with all this political idolatry and celebrity worship.
And I said, one candidate in response to Eric Metaxas and other people saying this.
I said, one candidate's going to be far worse, so you better, you know, and I've heard this from so many different big pastors out there.
Oh, there's no way that you can vote for the Democrats.
Well, then that means what they're saying is you must vote for Trump.
No. No. Never will I vote for somebody who did what he did in 2020.
We knew in 2016 that he had no character, but it's like, all right, well, we know what Hillary Clinton is.
That's essentially what Julian Assange said.
But then we saw what Trump was.
He was a New York Democrat, a pervert, a Jeffrey Epstein, Bill Clinton pervert, who did everything that the globalist agenda wanted.
I said, one candidate's going to be far worse, you say?
Did anyone think that Trump would do medical martial law?
That he would lock down healthy people and tell Main Street, you're not essential?
That seemed like what Hillary would do, but she wouldn't have gotten away with it.
But with Trump, we were told it was 4D chess.
Pro-life? How was warp speed, remdesivir, ventilators, etc., how was that pro-life?
Doesn't mass murder count?
If it's of older people, are we only going to care about the mass murder of babies, or do we care about the mass murder of adults and young children?
And that's in response to somebody like, Christians, you have a choice between a non-Christian and an anti-Christian.
Vote accordingly. Okay.
Trump spent the first part of this week worshipping at the gravesite of a false messiah, this Rabbi Schneerson or something of the Shabad Lubavitch.
That's Antichrist.
He's not Christian. He's anti-Christian.
Shannon Joy, the Hegelian dialectic, the false choice dichotomy, the ends justify the means, the lesser of two evils, Democrats versus Republicans, Trump versus Harris.
And she put that quote there from C.S. Lewis that I gave you before.
Finally, I said, render to Caesar what's due to Caesar.
That's what Jesus said.
I said, I agree with that.
Caesar is long overdue to get what he deserves.
We're rebelling against the Constitution.
And so do all these little czars that are in government as well, right?
They all love to call themselves czar.
They all love to call themselves Caesar.
They all want to be dictators, not accountable to the Constitution.
Well, let me talk about what is right.
This is an essay on Mises.
And this person got it far better than all these so-called religious leaders.
He said, why it's not enough to hate the state.
And it's not enough to hate Kamala, right?
And it's not enough to vote for the lesser of two evils.
He says, throughout history, we've seen from liberalism, whether you want to call it classical liberals or you want to call it libertarianism, he says, we suffered from the impression that we're primarily against things.
It's opposition to socialism or protectionism or imperialism or aggressive warfare or slavery or whatever.
And it is also, as Obama said, the Bill of Rights is very negative.
It's negative rights. It's to say, government, you can't do this.
I'm all about positive rights.
I say, you got a right to health care and you got a right to housing and a right to education and so forth and so on.
Well, that's not it at all.
The Bill of Rights was there to prohibit the government from interfering with our God-given rights.
Now, you can portray that as negative.
But that doesn't make it that way.
He says being against things, however, is not sufficient.
We have to have a plan.
We have to offer something that's better.
And in a sense, it's more important, I think, to transcend things.
And so I agree with this author at Mises.
He said, being against things has never been sufficient in and of itself.
Liberals have never contented themselves either with being like that.
Liberalism, of course, has long been associated with private property, local self-determination.
I think so were for certain things.
And he says, but thanks to the decline of the family, it is even possible now to imagine that for many millions of Americans, their most meaningful and enduring relationship is with government agencies.
And politicians. And political parties, folks.
And that's what the problem is.
We've got people who value a politician or a political party, and they see that government is more vital to their life than family, than community, than their relationship with God.
That's the problem.
That's the problem. And we've got a lot of professing Christians who believe that.
And so he goes on to say that...
He says, public schools, for example.
He said, look at the influence of public schools.
Perhaps no institution has done more to directly engage individuals in public schools.
The rise of the public schools and the replacement of private schooling and homeschooling has been one of the state's greatest achievements over the past century.
Great in the sense that it has done much to destroy the private sector.
Public education has long been geared toward promoting cultural uniformity, assimilation, a pro-government ideology in students, and there was a war against private Christian schools in the early 20th century.
American public education reflected a watered-down version of Protestant Christianity, but the religious elements existed largely to offer a patina Isn't this an example of what the Christian political organizations of today are?
It's just a patina.
It's a veneer. He said, private religious schools didn't necessarily play this game.
Both Lutheran and Catholic groups often placed more emphasis on religious education.
Opposition to these schools was increased, however, by the jingoism of the First World War, because they weren't pro-war, right?
Christian schools are not going to be pro-war.
So it was not an accident that some of the greatest threats to private education would arise during the 1920s.
In Oregon, they successfully enacted a law that compelled students to attend public schools exclusively.
We're going to ban even all private schools.
That was struck down by the Supreme Court in 1925, however.
But now we've seen the decline of the family, he says. The state's victory in making government institutions, in other
words schools, central to the lives of most children is further reflected
in the institution that is supposed to be central to the lives of children, the family.
David Pompano published an exhaustive study in 1992 on the state of families.
He called it the American family decline from 1960 to 1990.
Pompano just acknowledges that many factors in the decline of the family predate the 1960s, including rising divorce rates, falling fertility.
However, he said in the late 1950s, the average American woman had 3.7 children over the course of her life.
But in 1990, he found the average was 1.9, and now in 2023, it is 1.8.
Less than half. And less than it requires to maintain a population.
Got to have a little bit over two.
Whatever conclusion you come about, about what the correct number of children to have is, he notes that it illustrates a real trend away from an interest.
And raising children. That's the key.
Most people don't want families anymore.
And they don't want children.
He says it illustrates a declining interest in family life overall, which translates into a lack of stability and a duration of family life.
Between 1960 and 90, the proportion of women aged 20 to 24 who had never married more than doubled from 28% to 63%.
He said the most likely scenario is simply that people don't believe that marriage and family and childbearing are important.
Marriage declines because people don't believe that marriage is important.
Childbearing declines because they don't value it.
The decline of the family is just the latest evidence of how the state's efforts to neutralize non-state institutions have been enormously successful.
The most enduring economic and institutional relationships many people have is with their national government
The vast majority of taxes are paid to central governments most health care and pension benefits come from national
governments And not churches or local prominent families now
They financially dominate universities hospitals and poverty relief and if we listen to the siren songs of these
politicized politicizing quote-unquote prophets and
These people who are involved in politics and use Christ for this if we listen to them
the same thing is happening to the churches.
It's already happened to a large degree.
Ineffective. They've lost their mission, they've lost their focus, and they're being eviscerated, just like the family.
And it will continue if we listen to that.
This is all to the advantage of the state.
Fewer individuals can rely on family, or churches, or local network for economic or social security.
It means fewer allegiances to anything, any kind of community, except the vaguely defined and essentially imaginary national community.
And that's what we're seeing in this obsession with this national election.
Individuals are not enough. Oh, we don't need any organization or institution.
We only need rugged individualists.
Well, historically, liberals have long understood that opposition and state power cannot be effective if isolated.
As Joe Griffin said, you've got to work collectively for individual liberty.
And he quotes de Tocqueville, who said, As long as family feeling was kept alive, the antagonist of oppression was never alone.
He looked about him, found his clients, his hereditary friends, and his kinfolks.
If the support was wanting, he was sustained by his ancestors, and he was animated by his posterity.
Without these and other institutions, de Tocqueville...
Concluded political opposition to the state becomes ineffective.
Without institutions through which to practically build resistance to state power, even anti-regime ideology has no way of being brought into practice.
Finally, de Tocqueville says, what strength can even public opinion have retained when no 20 persons are connected by a common tie?
When not a man, nor a family, not chartered corporation, nor class, nor free institution has the power of representing that opinion?
When every citizen being equally weak, equally poor, equally dependent, Has only his personal impotence to oppose the organized force of government.
So having said that, I've run overtime here.
We've got a guest who's ready to come on.
And I wanted to give you that introduction, and I apologize to her for going overtime.
But it's very important because that's the context for what we're going to talk about.
What she's doing in her local community.
The fact is that we placed our trust in an all-powerful, supposedly benevolent central government that didn't show up, and when it did, it made things worse.
But people on the ground came together to help their neighbors, and we need to see that as an example.
The common humanity came to the surface, and people began to group around and to form associations and organize in a way to help each other.
Because the government wasn't going to do it.
So we're going to take a quick break, and when we come back, we're going to talk to her.
Seth Landergren, thank you very much for the tip.
Says, David, your logical engineering approach to problem solving is a lot of why I listen to you, among other things.
Well, thank you. Seemingly simple things that many people overlook, including myself.
Thank you very much, Seth.
I appreciate that. We're going to take a quick break, and we will be right back.
Stay with us.

Possibility of evolution So
So So
So You're listening to the david knight show
Go.
you All right. Welcome back.
And joining us now is Leigh Brown.
She put together a relief organization that is still going on.
And as she points out, this is not over yet.
People's attention span is very short.
And they move on to the next story or the next hurricane or whatever, right?
But this is still going on.
And it's going to go on for a long time.
And so we need to keep people's attention focused on this and fight against that.
And there's also a concerted effort to keep this quiet.
I want to begin by telling you where you can go.
The official donation page is on Give, Send, Go, and it is at...
We love WNC for Western North Carolina.
We love WNC. That's on Give, Send, Go.
We'll give that at the end of the broadcast as well.
But thank you for joining us, Lee Brown.
Thank you very much for coming on.
Well, thank you for having me.
It's an honor to be on your show.
Well, thank you. I want to, you know, let's talk about what is going on and the ongoing need here, but I think a lot of people are just curious as to what it looks like on the ground, but maybe we could start with how this all began and how you got involved in this.
What was it like, what you saw, being there on the spot?
Well, just to be very clear, I'm located about an hour outside of the impact zone, but being a native North Carolinian and having a lot of friends and family in the affected area, it just hit home for me.
And so when the storm hit and we're watching the flooding and the very early coverage, which there was a little coverage at the beginning, I could see where this was headed and I have helped with natural disasters in the past because North Carolina does happen to get hurricanes on a regular basis and being in real estate, I think real estate agents often don't get the credit they're due for the way realtors just love to dig in and help their communities.
Well, my husband and I celebrated our wedding anniversary on September 27th, and this is the third year that we've spent our anniversary doing relief efforts, so I don't know how we got lucky like that, but I knew it was coming.
I told my husband, I said, well, let's load the real estate company move-in truck up, and we'll let our clients bring donations, and we'll be prepared to help, not knowing how bad it was going to be, but knowing there was going to be a need.
So I put the word out that we would let people come help us fill the truck up.
And then as the news hit of the breadth of the disaster and the gravity of what was going on, it turned into an accidental grassroots effort that has been embraced across the, well, actually it's international at this point because my videos talking about it had gone viral.
And it's hard to put into words what it looks like in western North Carolina because it's truly war zone kind of conditions in many areas where the roads have collapsed.
I-40 between North Carolina and Tennessee collapsed with vehicles stranded on the highway.
You have the city of Asheville, which is a decent-sized small city, 14 feet of water over the water treatment station, so no water in the city, and town's gone.
Chimney Rock is gone.
That's one of the few situations you can actually find evidence of on the social networks.
Swannanoa went underwater.
Montreat, the home of Billy Graham, just virtually destroyed and All I can describe it as is the flood of biblical proportions.
It's the highest amount of flooding we've ever seen in the state.
It was four feet higher than the previous generational flood in 1916.
So it was and was and it is because we're still right now on day 13 I guess we're still doing
rescue efforts for people who were in their homes and then the driveways washed away and the roads
washed away and the only way you can access these people is with ATVs and unfortunately there's a
as many well there's probably at this point more that have perished than have survived in those
survival situations just because of where the geography had it located and it's it's staggering
it's just just staggering I've never seen anything like it, quite frankly.
You see wind damage.
I grew up in Florida, saw hurricanes all the time, and to see homes demolished with tornadoes and hurricanes, that's one thing.
But I've never seen the kind of force that we saw with this water just washing away not only homes, but highways and the foundations.
I mean, it is just, it's like a nuclear bomb went off.
It is truly amazing what has happened there.
What about when you got there?
What did you see? I mean, you drive up to, you didn't know how bad this was going to be.
And what was the situation there?
I guess at that point in time, people were doing rescue work.
Tell us a little bit about that.
Well, I think the rescue work was actually slightly delayed because of the breadth of the disaster.
I mean, you're talking a geographic area that's the size of other states.
So there's a shock factor involved.
And I have some friends that are mayors of small towns because I'm fairly politically active.
And I talked to a friend of mine in one of the...
Well, small city, large town status just to check in and see what was going on.
And he told me his town had no water, that their water station had gone out.
And of course, my immediate reaction was, let me get you some water.
So I talked to a friend of mine who had a horse trailer.
And so we called Lowe's to see if we could get a hold of some pallets of water.
And this was on the first day.
So we chased down the water.
We get the water into her truck.
And head west.
Well, while we're heading west, they're closing down access points, and I-40 is the primary interstate going, obviously, from east to west, and it was shut down, so we had to go on 70, and then when we got on 70, there were only certain ways you could get into this town because of the road washouts, but also because of the blockades that had been put up to
restrict traffic because of the uncertainty of the roads.
And it was a, what would normally be a drive of a little over an hour,
took three and a half hours to drive like this to get to the town,
just to get some water because there was no water.
I mean, the municipal system is out, and I don't know that any of us really understand how much we take for granted our clean and safe drinking water.
I mean, unless you've traveled in the third world, it's hard to understand how spoiled we are as Americans.
And when that water supply is gone, people on a well would normally be alright, but their
electricity is out, and if they have a generator, do they have fuel for it?
Because not everybody is thinking ahead all the time.
Most folks don't have a stockpile of water.
So we got there with this pallet of water, and the people just came over and got it immediately,
just sheer gratitude.
And the beauty of it was nobody was grabbing more than they should have.
There was a very big desire to make it go as far as it could.
And that was day one.
And so looking at the road closures with It was very unsettling to think you could no longer travel freely because of all the blockades.
If you could travel freely, the roads may not be accessible.
And if the roads aren't accessible, how do you get to your neighbors with life-saving things like clean water?
And then that was day one.
By day three, there's The smell of decomposition, and that's a...
It's nothing anybody ever wants to experience, but that's...
You remember the temperatures when this hit, it was still Indian summer, so still warm enough, and the human body is not made for...
That's continuing to go on because we still have not gathered all of our neighbors who
perished.
They have not all had a decent burial, of course, because we haven't located everybody.
And so it's just hard.
And so when you see it now, the news is already showing the parts of towns that are intact.
Their messaging being, it wasn't that bad, but it is, it's just devastation.
And the example I can give you of a town called Rollins is a very tiny hamlet in the North Carolina mountains had about 15 homes prior to the The Great Flood, I guess. There's four houses left.
And that's one of the lucky little hamlets.
The rest of the houses are gone because it primarily sat on the banks of a river.
And when you see what's left...
It's just things are gone.
It's hard to get your mind around it.
And for me as a North Carolina native who's gone to the mountains for years for vacations and for going out hiking and church retreat.
I mean, every church I've ever gone to, the retreat places are up in the mountains.
Your geography has changed forever.
So you have the loss of life.
We've lost humans. The geography is different.
Towns are gone. And so there's a grief over what the state was prior to 2024 and what it is now because it won't ever be the same.
And that's It really makes the Bible come to life when you look at the way that things went in the Torah and what happened with these towns as they warred with each other and they would wipe them out and salt the earth.
You can't help but feel that There's obviously a visual of the spiritual battle that we're in.
Yeah. Oh, that's amazing.
And so at this point now, as you said, all the roads are closed.
There weren't any roads in many cases, so they would block people off from that.
In terms of logistics of trying to get stuff in, that's got to be so incredibly challenging.
We've had all kinds of reports that we've talked about over the last week about people trying to come in with helicopters and evacuate people out, other people pulling rank on them and stopping that.
Organizations like the one that was in Batcave, they've done a great job logistically of putting stuff in and getting things distributed.
How are you operating with this and who are you partnering with in order to get these supplies in when there's not a clear path or a road to get there?
Well, when my video went viral, I got calls from people with trucks and trailers literally all over the country who are patriots, who are not afraid of figuring it out.
And we have had this ragtag group of people who never knew each other but
responded to a call who have come in, found their way through,
truckers who had the right permits and knew how to navigate road closures better
than a regular person, local people with an SUV or a pickup truck or a 4x4.
And my group has just kind of filled gaps wherever we've been called upon.
The organized groups have helped us to know where are the Polaris guys needed.
Where can we get an ATV up?
We need Toach to put food in to go up the side of a hill to get to a family.
So it's none of the big groups.
I will give good credit to Samaritan's Purse, Franklin Graham's organization.
They were in Boone as of day one with their organization.
They were set up and distributing.
And my goodness, a super well-oiled machine.
Very impressed with the work that they've done.
And the Baptist churches, the Baptist Coalition got busy on day one as well, and they've been spreading out through the church network to some of the smaller areas.
But other than that, we've operated with people we find on Facebook or people that have been referred to us as reputable and kind, thoughtful people who are looking out for their neighbors.
And so it's It's just what happens when people decide to pitch in together it's not a 501c3 and we're not any true organization and in fact those of us that swung into action a few days ago are now trying to figure out all right we still have jobs to do because we're not relief workers and there are professionals available but they're still overwhelmed so how do we continue to help while we manage our own lives so that we can continue to support but it's The way people have pitched in is, it's the spirit of what America was founded on, and it's encouraging to see that it's still there.
It is. And, you know, just before you came on, I finished off with Alexis de Tocqueville, who came to the U.S., basically to look at the prison system, but he was just amazed at how...
people in America would come together to solve a common problem, voluntarily as a community.
And it is wonderful from a perspective of where I am, it's wonderful to see that happening again, to see that that's
not dead.
That when people see that there's a need, they can organize themselves and people come together and offer their
services.
I've seen this in the past when there's been localized stuff, it's not...
Many times when it's really big, then you get FEMA or you get the military.
Other people come in and they essentially shut that down and take it over.
Whether they do a good job or not, they don't allow people to participate.
They shut that down. And so that's why I think it's so important about this.
And part of what you're doing, I think, you're kind of focused on trying to get supplies.
And as I look at the site that you set up, you got an Amazon wish list.
And in that wish list, you put in things that people need.
Medical supplies, general needs wish list, and other things like that.
And I guess you're then handing that off to some of these other organizations that are there?
No, we're taking it in ourselves because we have had three scenarios where my teams have been interrupted by FEMA and FEMA has a plan to inventory everything that they can get their hands on.
We choose not to let them inventory it because there's a need and I don't think they fully grasp how geographically challenging an area like this is because you're not talking a city, an urban center, even a flat area.
You're talking 15 houses here, 68 houses there.
The centralized information tends to be the volunteer fire department.
So we've reached out to many of the volunteer fire departments because they know who in their community needs insulin.
Well, I probably don't have insulin, but I may have a contact who can help get the prescriptions and handle all the details on that.
We're moving more quickly because we're not trying to follow the red tape of the government.
We understand that FEMA wants to have a central supply hub, but if you have a central supply hub in a huge geographical area, then how are you going to deploy that in a timeframe that makes sense, especially with Frost warnings now, because now we've moved into winter.
So our job today, we moved another, well, we moved 30 generators up today to give to 30 different homes so they could keep the heat on.
We moved another dozen propane portable heaters into some other homes for elderly who don't want to leave, can't leave.
And I just, I don't know that FEMA's interested in dropping generators at people's houses so that they can stay put.
They would rather put you through a red tape nightmare to get a little bit of cash, but the little bit of cash they're offering doesn't even cover the cost of a generator that I got at wholesale price.
And they're not going to deliver it.
So if you're elderly and you apply for this little bit of money on FEMA online, so you have to have internet access.
They want receipts.
They want a doctor's note.
If it's, say, a breathing machine, we also got tanks of oxygen delivered up today as well.
They want a doctor's note for your oxygen.
Okay, so FEMA is only going to give you money if you prove your power was out.
While you're on the internet, and if you prove that you have a doctor's note for what you need, and if you have receipts, and then you'll get this $750, well, I have found that if the donations I've received are going to buy 30 generators, I called my guy at Lowe's, and Lowe's has been amazing, by the way.
They were so quick to help us with hunting down what we needed, giving us wholesale pricing, even though I'm not a builder.
And Lowe's helped us hunt them down.
We talked to a guy with a trailer and the guy with the trailer who's not working today put the generators on and ran them up so that they can be distributed from a church to these 30 homes.
If FEMA's in charge, what's that, a month process?
And in that month process, how many health issues occur because somebody's cold in their home in the mountains in the winter in North Carolina?
So, yeah, we're circumventing, but not because we're, you know, breaking any laws.
We're just doing it a better way.
And this is how the communities were built, though.
We took care of each other. Churches used to be the center.
Churches knew who was hungry, and we fed them, and we knew who was sick, and we took care of them because the Bible says you take care of aliens, widows, and orphans.
And so that's what we're looking at here is how do we take care of those that are
passed out, those that are alone, and those that are unable to care for
themselves. That's right. And you know the the bureaucracies have their own agenda
but the other part of it is the centralization that you're talking about.
If you've got a decentralized thing that is happening it can happen so much more
effectively and quickly than the centralized bureaucracy.
It took them a long time from what I've seen to even show up.
And then when they do, they're obstructionists because of their imposed procedures, because of centralized planning and distribution and all the rest of the stuff.
So that is what is so essential.
And that is also, that's why we need to talk about this for everybody, It shows the power of community.
It shows the power of volunteerism.
And it shows, just at the same time, the callousness and the ineffectiveness of a distant, centralized bureaucracy.
And that's the key story, I think, here.
And as you point out, this is going to go on for quite some time.
I mean, I've seen some of the organizations.
There was some midnight organization that has a history of going, and they spent Two and a half years at an Indian reservation.
FEMA wouldn't do anything to help them, but they're wiped out with a storm.
And I don't know why it didn't fall into their bureaucratic checklist of something they would help with.
But this group went there and they stayed there for like two and a half years.
And they said, we're going to be here for several years because we're going to be here helping people rebuild.
I guess at this point right now, The rescue operation is really more recovery of bodies, but the people that are there, they need a constant resupply of things because they really can't help themselves.
It's really reliant on outside help, would you say?
Absolutely, because the infrastructure has just experienced catastrophic damage.
The city of Asheville is not expected to have water back for another three weeks, is the optimistic estimate.
That's a city. Now, if you go to some of the outlying areas, there is some return of power, but there has not been a return yet of water services because being mountainous, you've also got some groundwater concerns now with the way that the flooding occurred.
So even if you're on a well, The newest thing we're adding to our wish list are well water testing kits.
We are begging people to test the water before you use it because you don't know what has come into your water source now.
And part of what we received from our donations from around the country, and obviously I am just one of the many, many voices that has been a voice to cry out for Western North Carolina, but the water that has come in It has just been astonishing.
We actually have had to hold some back in storage because there's nowhere else to put it, and people have provided.
Let me ask you this. We're talking about water.
This is a comment from somebody on here.
McGowan, a fan, thank you for that.
that says make sure you have a gravity filter, a non-electric distiller to make sure
it's as pure as possible.
I imagine that would really be a priority rather than bringing in the water,
bringing in something that's going to be able to, you know, water filters that are gravity feed
that don't have to have power.
I'm sure that's on your list as well, right?
Oh, yes. And we have folks that have sent us some very good explainer videos for how people can get those set up.
And what we're doing right now, we're in triage phase right now.
And when you're in triage, it's pallets of water and how do we manage it for this moment.
And as we get the systems in place and we figure out how to get people through roads, we have these I guess you could call them hillbilly road repairs where you have a bunch of guys that show up and put a road back together during the night, old school style.
As we get those things fixed, then we can look at more of the bigger picture because we have people that would like to take a shower and so an item like those gravity filters is something that if you do it big enough and put it up a little bit, you can actually clean with it.
We're still in triage phase.
It's the hardest thing to explain to folks that We want things to be fixed.
Our whole society is an immediate gratification society.
We want it fixed. We want it better.
And when we took up the generators, we took up some dehumidifiers.
Because if you think about this, a lot of the houses have water intrusion.
As somebody in real estate, I want to save those houses.
So we have to get dehumidifiers in, get the moisture out so they don't wind up with a mold problem when we invariably hit a little warm streak, which is North Carolina.
It's going to do warm, cold, warm, cold, warm, cold for a while.
And we want to make sure these people's houses are still safe to live in.
So, yes, there's lots of things we can do.
And for those of y'all that are curious, one of our best prepper communities that I've ever known is in one of the affected counties.
They're doing pretty all right.
Now, they've actually been able to take what they had prepared and they are helping their neighbors.
In fact, one of my dear friends in that community Was frustrated with the distribution, so she put a pop-up tent in her yard and put out some supplies that we brought to her house just on the back of a trailer and the neighbors all came right out and were served and That's a blessing to be prepared enough that you can serve.
And I don't know that we talk about that enough with people who are organically just taking care of the future and thinking ahead.
It's not just a selfish desire to take care of yourself, but if you're taken care of, you have the bandwidth to help other people.
So just a reminder that prepping is not selfish.
Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. And it's not crazy either, as we see.
They like to portray that as a crazy thing.
It's like, I'm sorry, we've seen too many things happen in the last few years for people ever think that prepping is crazy.
It's crazy not to prep. A question.
This is from someone here.
People, they said a lot of people, the government is already telling people they can't rebuild in certain places because it's not safe, says Zim Sellers.
Is that something that you're saying? Of course, Lee, you're a realtor, and her website is LeeSells, and she spells her name L-E-I-G-H, LeeSells.com, and you'll find information about this relief effort, but of course you can also find that at GiveSendGo.com.
And give, send, go.
You look for We Love WNC for Western North Carolina.
We Love WNC. That'll give you that information.
I'm sure probably link back to the other thing as well.
But as a realtor, what are you hearing about that?
Because that's been a concern of a lot of people.
You know, we've got these situations with a couple of different mines, a very rare quartz mine, a big lithium mine.
The people didn't really want to see that come in.
Are they going to shove people out?
Are we hearing any of that kind of stuff?
Well, it's a valid concern when we see what happened in Maui, and that's a situation that I don't think will ever be adequately explained, although a lot of us have our theories.
North Carolina is fortunate, though.
We have a very strong state constitution that is very much protective of private property rights.
So when all of the When all of this stuff went down, the lithium vein that gets referenced runs from Asheville all the way down through Gaston County.
It's been there, obviously, since the Lord created it, but it became very valuable as we've moved more towards these electronic vehicles that are being forced on us.
Gaston County is where we saw the first mining operations really kick in.
And that's generally, you've got a lot of BlackRock stakeholders, so there's a lot of, I would say, nefarious actors afoot, but this storm, unless the cloud seeding situation really is what happened, and even if it were, I don't know that the bad actors can get a hold of the land unless the property owners sell, because our state constitution protects illegal takings by the government, and if the If something were to happen, it would be that a phone call comes in to Bob from some little shyster investor who says, your land ain't worth nothing.
I'll give you cash.
Take it off your hands.
So if our neighbors can't give in to bad sales pitches, then there could be some takings going on.
But as of right now, and I talked to the Speaker of the House in North Carolina.
He's a very savvy lawyer.
He told me there's no legislation needed at this point because the Constitution is strong, but he did ask the real estate community to please get the word out to people.
Don't sell cheap.
Don't give in to what you read on the internet because that's the risk.
The risk is that The chatter on X and Instagram and Facebook scares people enough that they go ahead and sell.
I will point out there's a lot of chatter about a town hall meeting that happened in Chimney Rock.
That did not happen.
That's an internet urban myth.
And so it's important to be alert because our government is full of bad actors who do value money more than they value life because they serve the wrong God.
And as we look at What they do on a general basis, it is possible to believe it, but in North Carolina, what I don't think they counted on at BlackRock is the absolute stubbornness of mountain people who are not going anywhere.
And there was a lady that we spoke with on Sunday of last week And she had basically moved herself up under what was left of her lean-to.
Her house is pretty much gone, and there's a flagpole in the yard.
She said, I ain't going anywhere.
And so we said, all right, we're going to get you a heated tent so you can stay put.
But, you know, they might be thinking that the attitudes are more of the people they encounter in the Ashevilles, the urban areas that go to the breweries, and our university kids, but Mountain people are generational, hardscrabble folks.
They're used to pulling a living out of very unforgiving land.
They have made home sites on mountainsides, and I think they're going to prove to be a tougher sell than anybody realizes.
Good. Along those lines, what about insurance?
Because we're seeing a lot of stuff about how insurance companies are trying to weasel out of this kind of thing.
And as a realtor, again, what do you hear in terms of people dealing with their insurance companies?
Well, now that is a concern because the property values have gone up so much since the COVID era started in 2020.
And for most people, if you owned a property and you had insurance on it, it's probably surely unlikely that you called the insurance company and said, hey, my property went up from $250,000 to $500,000.
Please increase my coverage.
Most people don't do that because they don't want to pay the increased premium.
However, if you did not increase your coverage, then your insurance policy may be enforced and you may have paid on it dutifully.
But if the value of your house exceeds the policy, that's not even the fault of the insurance company.
That is The challenge of a rising market.
And when you're in a home that's in good shape or you're selling it, you love the rising market.
When you're buying, you hate the rising market.
When you're a homeowner who's enjoying your 3% interest rate that you got seven years ago, it doesn't bother you until something like this hits.
And so what I would say is What we have been saying on the real estate side for some time is, please check your policies and make sure that you have the appropriate amount of coverage because what you paid $250,000 for six years ago cannot be built for that now.
Even if you had the money, labor's high, materials are high, and the biggest cost we have is permits and regulations trying to get something built.
So we should all be paying attention to our policies.
Now, that being said, if you are watching this or listening to this and you're in an affected area, don't tell the insurance company that you experienced a flood.
You've got to tell them it was high water and rain because you're more likely to get covered if you don't use the word flood.
And I'd also point this out.
There's a lot of A lot of experts on the internet, I love internet experts in the comments, and they keep telling us that these people should have had flood insurance.
Really? Really? You put a house on a mountainside?
No, they didn't have flood insurance, and that's normal because, again, we're in an inflationary environment where people are trying to pay the bills.
They're not going to add on flood insurance for the side of the mountain where it's not necessary because you're not in a flood zone and you don't think it's ever going to happen, but I can't blame an insurance company for being nervous about a generational, not even generational.
I think this is a century-long era we've been dealing with here.
They can't anticipate it, and they're not made out of money either.
The only crowd that's made out of money is the government who keeps printing it and taking it out of our pockets where nobody can afford anything.
So that's a challenge, too.
But the other thing people don't know about flood insurance is even if you had it, Even if you got your claim approved, it's a max payout of $250,000.
And the way the markets have changed, that's not even going to buy you a nice double-wide when you consider all of the foundation things that have to be reset.
We've got to redo septic tanks.
We're going to have to redo wells.
We're going to have to redo water and sewer taps if it's on the infrastructure lines.
It's going to be interesting, and I don't know what the answer is, but as I said in the video a couple of days ago, I sure hope that the banks like JP Morgan and Bank of America who make a lot of money off of homeowners, I hope they'll forgive these mortgages because I do worry about the people who no longer have a collateral.
They have no house left, but they still have a mortgage, and so That's right.
What's going to happen there? Are they going to get foreclosed on no house or is the bank going to forgive it?
I don't know the answer, but I just, it's What everybody has to do is pray for the affected people because they're going to need strength and resilience to process all of these things while they find water and food, while they do without a hot shower in their house.
And now they've got to think about mortgages for houses that don't exist, and it's untenable for a lot of people.
And then how do they work?
You know how they work? The roads are washed out?
I mean, what happens to their income?
That's the other part of it as well.
Well, the stores are gone.
A lot of our employers have lost their businesses.
I mean, I look at my real estate people and we don't get a lot of sympathy because we have a terrible...
That perception of us has been created by the mainstream media and by Hollywood, but I think most of your viewers and listeners, when you've engaged with a realtor, they're very hard-working, thoughtful people.
Well, what are they going to sell?
There's no inventory for them to sell.
They live on commission, and I've talked to several who are in a panic right now because they did have something under contract, but Now the house is either gone or damaged.
Buyer can't buy, seller can't sell, house isn't going to receive a loan.
So you've got a whole profession that's out of work unless they relocate.
Well, if a real estate agent relocates to work for me an hour away, I'd be glad to have them, but they don't know anybody where I am in real estate's relationship-based, and it's competitive, and then you have to learn a new county, and you learn a new market, so it's challenge on top of challenge, but I'm hopeful that because North Carolina has had so many employers come in with Eli Lilly and Toyota and BoomSonic, that we'll see those new big employers come Rise up and make a concerted effort to provide employment to people,
even if it's a one-year contract, to give them a chance to get started again.
Oh, hopefully. It's so multifaceted.
But I just thought about it. You know, how do you get to work?
And is the place that you worked at even still there?
I mean, that's the... And we need cars because cars are gone.
Yeah. I think the car's flooded, too.
That's right. Yeah. No car.
Wow. But, you know, I talked to a guy.
So he's an asphalt trucker.
And, of course, I told you trucks and trailers have come in from around the country.
This wonderful gentleman has a new dump truck.
He works for an asphalt company out of Tennessee.
Wow. And it's one of our largest asphalt companies in the Southeast.
They got a bid to come fix some roads, but the main facility was gone because of the floods.
And so this company received a bid.
He lost 59 pieces of equipment.
And then you have to ask yourself, my gracious, how crazy is the volume and force of the water that 59 pieces of asphalt lay-in equipment could get destroyed?
So I look at that, and in a normal time, he'd be glad to have that kind of job.
That's a huge job. It's a huge bid, but here he gets a bid, no equipment to serve it, and even if he could, his men can't get to and from work right now.
Yeah, it's going to be a real litigious situation, the difference between a rain and a flood.
As you pointed out, don't use the word flood.
Don't use the word flood.
Yeah, rain and wind and everything, but they're going to say that it's a flood.
That's where the fight is going to be.
I can see that being really litigious.
So it's such a bad situation.
And again, it's important to have you on so that people know this is an ongoing situation.
It's going to go on for a very, very long time as we're talking about all these different aspects that are here.
But it's going to pass out of the news cycle.
Everybody's going to get interested in politics and all the rest of the stuff.
And there'll be another storm, another hurricane somewhere, just as we see.
A lot of the attention was redirected away from North Carolina because of Milton coming in this last week.
And so that type of thing is going to be there, but the needs continue on there.
And again, if people want to help, it is WeLoveWNC, as in Western North Carolina, WeLoveWNC at Give, Send, Go.
And I guess there's links there to your page there under LeeSells.com.
You've got a page, and I guess you've got a link back to that from Probably the easiest way for them to find it is going to Give, Send, Go and look at We Love WNC. It is so wonderful to see people helping other people, and it's tragic that this has happened, but I think that is a silver lining that is there, and it's an important lesson for everybody to see throughout the country.
And anything else that you would like to say?
I mean, we've got a little bit more time.
What would you like to stress to people?
Well, one thing I would just like to say is that it was disturbing to me as somebody who I read a lot.
I follow a lot of the information trails.
And I didn't realize how deep the overall distrust is of not just our government, but of our traditional organizations like the Red Cross.
I mean, I watched the Red Cross drag their feet coming to town because they said it was too dangerous to get here.
But then I saw the leaked emails from the current administration that said they were going to delay their response because it was not safe.
So I wonder if the Red Cross was following the government.
But that would explain why nobody trusts them.
And it's a shame that we fall into that as a society that we no longer trust our government.
I certainly don't trust Big Pharma.
I don't trust the school system, as you mentioned in your piece before I came on.
I don't trust most of these relief organizations.
And I thought that by opening up a chance for people to give me their donations that I could fill my truck up with some supplies.
I did not anticipate that so many people said, Hey lady, I saw on the internet in a video, you seem more trustworthy than big organizations and FEMA. And so when they've sent me these gifts, they've thanked me.
They know that I'm directing the dollars to actual neighbors.
And all of them have said, just please keep going around FEMA because they understand that the speed is for the need.
It's encouraging and discouraging at the same time, but then I remember how much my grandmother, oh, she longed for the end times, and I remind myself it's a privilege to get to live in them, and so all I can do is be a laborer in the harvest, and I'm grateful for everybody that's laboring as well, those that are doing the helicopter lifts and the ATV search and rescues and cutting logs to get people out of driveways and You really do see the best in people, and hopefully we as a people will decide that we've had enough of the corrupt elites that diminish us,
and we will either put this back to rights like happened with the people of Israel so long ago, or God's going to have His way.
I hope everybody in the sound of my voice chooses Jesus and chooses to repent before you miss your chance.
I have to talk that in there.
Oh, absolutely. Absolutely.
Yeah, and that's the key thing.
You know, it used to be that it was all about the community, about helping neighbors.
And as you pointed out, we knew who needed help.
So, you know, once you institutionalize this stuff, what you're doing is you're institutionalizing inefficiencies and graft and corruption and that type of stuff.
And it is at the point now where everybody sees these established institutions and we don't trust them.
That's why it is so important to For individuals like you to step up and to do the right thing, and it is great to see that.
And you've gotten a good deal of support there on Give, Send, Go.
And so, again, it is We Love WNC, is how you can keep track of what is happening there.
And we've been talking to Lee Brown.
Thank you so much for what you're doing, for stepping up with that, coming into that area.
It truly is amazing.
And I know that it is very challenging, but it's also a very blessing situation.
To be able to help other people.
We don't ever want to be in a situation where we need the help, but it is wonderful to be able to offer the help.
And so thank you for what you're doing.
Thank you for stepping up. And we really do appreciate the example that is being set there by all the people voluntarily stepping in and helping their neighbor.
It's great to see that that has not died out in America.
It hasn't been smothered by this massive bureaucracy of these corrupt institutions that we see, both public and private.
It's great to see people just stepping up on the spur of the moment and doing this type of thing.
Thank you so much for what you do.
Appreciate it. Well, I appreciate the opportunity.
Thank you to you and your listeners and viewers.
Thank you. Thank you, Lee.
We're going to take a quick break, folks, and we will be right back.
Stay with us.

Liberty.
It's your move.
And now, The David Knight Show.
All right, thank you. We're having a conversation here.
And we had a show that's going on, so we're back.
Amos Poole, thank you very much for the tip.
He says, David, you referenced many articles and sources that you cover, but I often miss where I can find them.
So I can share them.
Are they posted somewhere?
And that's what I was just talking to Karen about.
Travis started putting up the, I send them the article list every day.
And now we have a more focused article list that we put up because it used to be I'd only get to about a tenth of what I had gone through, and now I get through about half of what I have done.
So there'll be other things there as well as like a news aggregator.
I think what he started doing was he started putting it up on a weekly basis On Subscribestar.
I'm not sure. But we really do need to change that.
And I think it'd be good if we put it up on a more frequent basis.
Maybe we put it up in the evening or something on Subscribestar.
That would be good. And so we'll talk to him about doing that because I send him the list now every morning.
So maybe we'll put that up on a daily basis.
I would like for people to be able to get that information out.
That's what it's really about. I don't own any of this stuff.
And I put it up.
And talk about it because I want people to internalize that and to pass that information on.
So, absolutely. Grab the articles that I've referenced.
Pass on what I have to say.
And that's another thing we want to try to do is...
I want to focus a little bit more on Substack and put articles up because, as I said before, the three-hour program, sometimes there's something that is really core that I wanted to really stress to people and get across.
And maybe it only, you know, is maybe 10 minutes or something like that.
And we don't always even cut that out.
And even if we cut out a 10-minute video, a lot of people don't have time to look at a 10-minute video.
We need to have articles because...
I don't have the time to look through videos, and so I want to be able to put this information out in a format that people can very quickly scan through.
Hedge88, but thank you, Amos, for the support.
I really do appreciate that. I don't know if you're on Subscriber, so I know you're a regular supporter.
I see it all the time. I can't remember where you support, but we're going to put something up on Substack and make that thing available to people.
Hedge88, people need food, water, and shelter.
They're going to die a horrible death.
That's right. And most wells are awful, so keep some chlorine on hand, says TreeFree56.
That's the key. You know, again...
We talked to Jack Lawson, and I think it's very key to look at CivilDefenseManual.com.
If you go to his website, he's got a free chapter about water, because that is the first and fundamental thing.
You've got to have water or we die.
And you've got to have clean water.
And so he talks about a lot of that.
You can see how thorough Civil Defense Manual is looking at that chapter.
He's got a couple of free chapters that are up there, because he's got a lot of information in those books.
Again, make sure you've got water.
M-Sellers, we can make it two weeks for sure.
I'm going to turn my focus back to a prepping mindset for sure.
I've been slacking. Yeah, I think we all look at this and think there's certainly more that we can do to prep.
We never can do everything that we would like to do.
Let's take a look at news that we've got here.
PayPal, one of my favorite places, is now going to start selling data about you.
I don't have to worry about that because they purge me.
I can't even use them for personal stuff.
I use them, and that was a key way that money came in.
For the first four months of the broadcast, and then they cut me off suddenly without any explanation.
Never could get any explanation. That was, I stayed on the phone for two hours with a guy.
He said, the only thing I can find is I just got one message that says, terminate this account immediately.
That's it. And that's what we typically see.
But now what they're doing is they're going to exchange your data with third-party merchants.
Wonderful corporation.
PayPal, aren't they? Part of Peter Thiel and the technocracy, you know, the PayPal where he and Elon Musk got their big start and they made so much money that these so, you know, it's like a dozen or more people that were with PayPal.
They all became venture capitalists and started investing in other ones.
I call it the PayPal mafia and they call Peter Thiel the godfather of the PayPal mafia.
Well, the PayPal mafia that is left behind, starting in early summer 2025, the new policy will not just come at the detriment of your privacy, even if you're using the best VPN apps, but PayPal will start gathering data as early as November this year, November 27th. Users appear to be opted in by default.
And this person who's writing from the UK says this may be an issue under some privacy regulations like the GDPR. In the UK, he says where I'm based, when I accessed my privacy settings, the option was automatically toggled in.
That's supposed to be prohibited.
In the UK, the new data sharing is set to be enforced as of October the 10th.
So it's already starting there. As Winepress points out, it says JPMorgan Chase announced that they would be doing similarly this year.
What else is new from PayPal?
He says, I've already covered some of their absurdities for years, and they have even censored the Winepress News to boot.
So he got censored as well.
They're going to find you. You don't have to have a big footprint.
They're going to find you a small media outlet.
They're going to shut you down. He goes on to quote Isaiah.
He says, yes, they are greedy dogs which can never have enough and shepherds that do not understand.
It's an appropriate quote if ever there was one for these people.
Well, I had to laugh in a sense when I saw the CIA was embroiled in a sex crime scandal.
It wasn't what I thought.
And so they said that, CNN said that the average of sexual harassment claims is slightly higher than the national average in the CIA. Is that it?
Is that all? Assassinations are slightly higher in the CIA than they are in the national average as well.
So is drug running. They do that more than the average person does as well.
Well, that's it for today's broadcast.
Thank you so much for joining us.
Have a good day. Have a good weekend.
See you on Monday, hopefully. Let me tell you.
