	Thank you.
	Using free speech to free minds.
	You're listening to The David Night Show.
	As the clock strikes 13, it's Tuesday, the uh, what day is it?
	15th of October, year of our Lord, 2024.
	We're having a lot of problems this morning for some reason, but I think we've got it under control now.
	We're going to be talking today about the FEMA militias, the FEMA hunting militias, we should say.
	FEMA has not organized itself into militia yet, but we've got both of our presidential candidates.
	Want to do that with the military to come after the militia?
	No, these are fake rumors put out by Washington Post.
	Will they get canceled off of social media for fermenting unrest, lies, rumors?
	And we're going to talk about the people who want to live by lies and all of the Christian influencers who are pushing that on people.
	We'll also take a look at the border.
	What is happening at the border?
	I didn't get to this yesterday.
	It was a very interesting exchange between J.D. Vance and Martha Raddatz, but there's been more information now.
	The people whose apartment complexes were taken over are speaking out.
	We'll be right back. Stay with us.
	[♪ music ♪ Well, we have hurricane relief workers forced to evacuate due to a threat of armed militia.
	You see, FEMA's the victim here.
	The victims are not the victims.
	It's FEMA that is the victim.
	And we have to...
	These are the lies coming from Axios, Washington Post, Yahoo News, the rest of them.
	Been debunked by the sheriff, as a matter of fact.
	Here is a local report...
	About the FEMA threat.
	First at 5.30 tonight, this man facing charges for allegedly threatening FEMA workers in western North Carolina.
	It is a scary twist in the ongoing efforts to help the victims of Hurricane Helene.
	Thanks for joining us at 5.30.
	I'm Emily Bowles. And I'm Brian Crandall.
	Some of the relief workers have been threatened, causing the government to temporarily pull crews out of devastated areas.
	NBC10's Temitoba Adelaide is live in studio.
	See, they would help normally, but they can't now.
	As soon as floodwater receded, rumors started swirling that the relief effort was underfunded.
	The victims were receiving $750 in aid.
	No, actually only $300 in some cases.
	Seizing land in the flood zone.
	One unfounded rumor was that a truckload of militia members headed to the region to threaten FEMA workers.
	But the Rutherford County Sheriff's Office southeast of Asheville said that was not the case.
	That rumor was from the Washington Post.
	...office did arrest this man.
	44-year-old William Parsons of Bostick, North Carolina, accused of threatening FEMA workers at a gas station with a handgun and rifle.
	FEMA says it made operational adjustments to protect its staff and disaster survivors.
	At least for now, they are not going door-to-door, instead operating relief centers in damaged areas.
	Yeah, they're going to get out of there.
	As a matter of fact, this is something that's been going on for a long time.
	It was 15 years ago that my son Whistler We won a contest in Canada and the U.S. talking about.
	FEMA doing exactly this type of thing.
	They're high-handed, we're in control here type of thing.
	Late response and then obstructing people who wanted to get back to their homes, people who wanted to help others.
	They're notorious for having done this, but we've also been warned.
	I think you all know that I've always felt the nine most terrifying words in the English language are, I'm from the government and I'm here to help.
	From FEMA and I'm here to help.
	But again, just like the warp speed jab coverage.
	Oh, well, you know, all these people that are getting heart attacks and dying, it's anything other than the jab.
	It could be long COVID that they invented.
	It could be all of these different things, but it's definitely not the jab.
	What is happening there is definitely not FEMA. As a matter of fact, FEMA is the victim.
	On Saturday afternoon, the Washington Post filed a false report And there will be no penalty for them whatsoever.
	That a U.S. Forest Service official, now remember that, this is a U.S. Forest Service official.
	It's a question as to whether or not this is somebody who's actually still working for the Forestry Service, or if this is a person who was also quoted, who is a former official, living in Asheville, a liberal enclave.
	Who doesn't like all these conservatives around there?
	All these yahoos with guns?
	Anyway, a U.S. Forest Service official sent an email to several different federal agencies warning, quote, National Guard troops had come across two truckloads of armed militia saying they were out hunting FEMA. Every bit of that's a total lie.
	Every bit of it. The message, which has been confirmed as authentic, says the Washington Post.
	The message was confirmed as authentic?
	Maybe not the...
	Yes, this actually is something that was sent to us by somebody that was associated with the Forestry Service.
	Well, therefore, it's true. I had this back and forth with Jake Tapper on Twitter years ago.
	There was a mass shooting...
	And he reported that it was by Sam Hyde, who is a comedian who always jumps into this thing and takes credit for it.
	And he's put himself out as Sam Hyde or some variation of his name, put himself out as the ghost of Kiev and other things like that.
	Well, they fell for it.
	And I said, come on, seriously, you don't have anybody that vets any of this stuff?
	And Jake Tapper came back to me and he said, well, this came from a U.S. congressman who told us that.
	I said, oh, okay, so that's your standard of vetting.
	If it's a government official, it's true.
	If it's Washington Post, it's true.
	If it's CNN, it's true.
	They don't have to have any proof, and it doesn't make any difference whether it makes any sense or not.
	They just go with these sources.
	So, anyway. So, it's true.
	This is confirmed. The message was confirmed as authentic, but not as true.
	See? That's how they wiggle through this.
	It was an authentic, untrue message.
	More government lies.
	Authentic authority lying, okay?
	The officials, the management teams have been notified and are coordinating the evacuation of all assigned personnel in Rutherford County.
	Well, you know, I guess when we look at all this And there was the sheriff when he investigated.
	So there's not two truckloads of this.
	There was one guy who had a weapon.
	And as Handy pointed out, everybody is carrying a weapon because it's dangerous around there.
	Crime has really soared.
	And so the Rutherford sheriff investigated, as that news report says.
	They arrested one man because he was angry and he had a gun.
	Angry and saying angry things about FEMA, and he had a gun.
	But there weren't two truckloads of militia hunting FEMA at all.
	You see, lies about FEMA would explain why people who are just listening to this from afar would be angry at FEMA, right?
	But it's not social media that's making the people at ground zero here, the victims, that's not what's making them angry.
	They're not getting their information from FEMA. They're angry because of what FEMA has not done and what FEMA has done.
	And when you have people come in and talk to them, as a matter of fact, there was a report on Fox News.
	It was Sarah Carter who did it.
	And she lined up several officials.
	There's four or five officials there.
	These are people, elected officials, fire chief, all this stuff, from several different communities.
	And they were saying things like the mayor of one of these communities He said, well, you know, people got upset about this $750 thing.
	He goes, well, that's not really true.
	My daughter, whose house was destroyed, applied for this, and FEMA only gave her $300.
	That doesn't even cover the food that she lost in her refrigerator.
	So, yeah, they love to come back and say, well, FEMA's only going to give people $750.
	They won't even give them that in some cases.
	And so the reality is, is that if this was...
	If everybody got in there and talked to the people at Ground Zero, and they were like, I don't know where these rumors came from.
	They must have come from the Republicans or from the Trump campaign or something.
	But that's not what's happening.
	These people, the victims that are there, are the ones who are angry.
	And so that would tell you that these are not lies about FEMA. It would tell you that FEMA is lying about what it has done, which is what the government always does, isn't it?
	These are the people who are suffering, but it's because of FEMA, not because of lies.
	So the local sheriff's office...
	In Ash County warned FEMA had again been forced to pause their process.
	That's what he called it. Pause their process.
	While an assessment of the risk was carried out.
	Well, you know, maybe this whole hunting FEMA thing was a lie from the very beginning.
	And it certainly looks like it was.
	One person who was quoted, Reva Duncan, a former Forest Service official who was based in Asheville, It was the one who was talking to the Washington Post.
	I don't know if they had another FEMA official that was saying this.
	But she said, I guess it's a she, I don't know.
	Reva, is that a woman's name?
	They didn't list her pronouns.
	It could be anyone. It's terrible because a lot of these folks who need assistance are refusing it because they believe the stuff people are saying about FEMA and the government, she said.
	She identifies more with the government than she does with the victims that are there.
	It's the government that is the victim.
	And of course, this story from Yahoo News says, I think they meant electrical
	forces. They put electoral forces.
	The standard of journalism, of writing, of critical thinking is approaching zero from the Washington Post, Yahoo News, and Axios.
	With some mysterious electoral force that is controlling the weather by means of extraterrestrial laser technology.
	Well, no, I think that, you know, ARP is on the ground.
	This kind of cartoon propaganda.
	Other tinfoil-hatted pundits, they said.
	That they create, stupidly create, these straw men, the media does.
	And then they beat them up.
	And think that they've really done something, right?
	The straw man argument.
	With FEMA having already been forced to set up a rumor response page.
	Well, why was that? Poor FEMA. They were forced to set up a rumor response page.
	People are onto them.
	These are not rumors.
	These are people on the ground.
	The rumors are coming from the media.
	It's the rumors that are being sold to you by the Washington Post about militia hunting down...
	That's the rumor. That has no basis, in fact.
	But poor FEMA has had to set up a rumor response page.
	The recent reports of militias roaming the hills in North Carolina is sadly not the only evidence.
	That's evidence. That's evidence to these people who don't do any journalism or fact-checking or investigation.
	It's evidence that these disinformation narratives are adversely affecting the emergency relief efforts.
	Again, 15 years ago, my son talked about the bureaucratic, high-handed, heavy-handed approach of FEMA to all of these.
	Well, you have the update from HeadlineUSA.
	FEMA ordered North Carolina workers to stand down over the phony militia rumor.
	This was shortly after publication.
	Rutherford County Sheriff's Office told Headline USA that reported rumors, being reported by The Washington Post, Axios, Yahoo, all the mainstream media, were indeed false.
	Indeed false. So, again, will they retract?
	Will they be canceled by NewsGuard?
	Canceled by social media?
	Of course not. The Substack account, Hotshot WakeUp, first reported FEMA's stand-down order on Sunday, reporting that FEMA sent out communications to incident management teams telling them to stand down and evacuate immediately in Rutherford County.
	The Washington Post reported later on Sunday that the notification came from an official with the U.S. Forest Service.
	Maybe that was Riva. It said, FEMA has advised all federal respondents, Rutherford County, North Carolina, to stand down and evacuate the county immediately.
	The message stated that the National Guard troops had come across these two trucks and that they were hunting FEMA. Well, the Post admitted that it was, quote, unclear whether the quoted threat was seen as credible.
	Oh, well, you know, they buried that.
	They got the headlines up there.
	You know, militia is hunting FEMA. And now, well, we don't know if this is credible.
	Now we just thought we'd run with it as a headline.
	So we could attack the people who've already been hit by this tornado.
	Now they're going to be attacked by a Washington Post lie.
	The Rutherford County Sheriff's Office debunked the rumors in an email on Monday.
	It turns out that a lone 44-year-old man allegedly made a comment on Saturday about possibly harming FEMA employees in the Lake Lure Chimney Rock area.
	But he didn't harm anybody.
	And it was only one person.
	However, he was arrested and charged with, listen to the charge on him, going armed to the terror of the public.
	I've never heard of that before.
	Especially because everybody in his handy reported that he came across as armed.
	He was allegedly armed with a handgun and a rifle.
	$10,000 secured bond released later in the day.
	After further investigation, it was determined that he acted alone.
	There were no truckloads of militia going to Lake Lure, said the Sheriff's Department.
	A hotshot wake-up reported Sunday that other federal agencies have resumed work, but not FEMA. Yeah, they're back at the hotel, standing by, watching TV, collecting their $8,500 a week, $8,100 a week paycheck.
	While Washington Post said their personnel were back in place by Sunday afternoon.
	Well, any excuse, and of course, the Washington Post, we understand what they are about.
	And then you see this.
	It's not just the mainstream left media.
	But it's also some publications like World, which is kind of an establishment, conservative, Republican publication with some Christian veneer.
	FEMA under fire, they say.
	And I'm sick and tired of FEMA being made the victim here.
	They're not the victim.
	Just amazing.
	Again, you know, they're putting stuff, well, there's all these rumors out there, and then they repeat the stuff that is true.
	Well, they say they're only given $750.
	Well, the mayor said his daughter only got $300.
	It's ridiculous. One person they quoted said, well, we as a volunteer, you know, we had to get there right away.
	We work in a frame of minutes and hours.
	FEMA works in a time frame of days and weeks.
	This is somebody who is with helicopter pilots.
	They are calling themselves Operation Hello.
	Not as two L's, but just one L. Like a helicopter, right?
	And he said they rescued more than 400 people from isolated mountain communities.
	He said two of those rescues involved evacuating nursing homes.
	We firmly believe that a lot of lives would have been lost if they had gone for over a week with no food and water, which is what would have happened if people had waited around for the federal government to show up.
	But, you know, FEMA is the victim here.
	So, they quoted one person who was working with the Cajun Navy, and this is the group that I believe had the helicopter hover over them and wash the area with their rotor, scattering supplies and busting stuff up all over the place.
	But now, you know, they want to praise the government.
	Communications didn't exist, said the guy who was there with that group.
	He said, so people didn't have access to the internet.
	People didn't have access to cellular.
	There were rumors about FEMA coming in and confiscating goods and taking over and stuff like that.
	We have not had that experience, but of course, other local officials, other people have had that experience, and they've had it with local officials.
	So I say, all politics is really ultimately local.
	As I was saying yesterday, if you're worried that your house is going to be confiscated or that it's going to be condemned and then they're going to essentially force you out, they have voluntary buyback and they have mandatory buyback.
	And it's not FEMA that's doing that.
	They run it through the local government.
	Look, if you can't understand what Trump did in 2020, you're not going to understand this.
	But let me, for those of you who are watching, you understand that.
	And so here it is again.
	We see what the federal government's role is, is in setting policy and bribing people with massive amounts of money to do what they want.
	But all politics is local.
	And just as they had plotted and schemed and laid the legal foundation for what Trump did in 2020, they had done that for 20 years, beginning with dark winter in 2001 and later in the year, one week after 9-11, dark winter two months before 9-11, One week after 9-11, you have the anthrax attack.
	Two months later, they put out the model legislation.
	This was all planned. We're going to run this through the local areas.
	We'll tell them what to do, and we'll give them money.
	And everybody does what the federal government tells them to do, especially when they send money in.
	And so that's what's happening with these condemnations.
	The federal government will come in and say, well, you know, this is what we want you to do.
	Here's some money. But they run the condemnations.
	Through the local communities.
	Three times they've had mandatory confiscation of property, condemning it.
	And as I pointed out yesterday, that was something that was put in place in the 90s.
	It's only been done three times.
	It's currently being done in Houston.
	These are homes in the flood area.
	We're condemning them. We're taking that property.
	And here's a little bit of money, right?
	But it's mandatory. You don't get a chance to negotiate with them or to refuse.
	It's just mandatory. They pay you whatever they feel like they want to pay you.
	And that is something that's being rolled out in the local communities.
	But it was the federal government that pretended to give authority, which they didn't have, pretended to give that non-existent authority to the local areas.
	But they're bribing them and they're setting policy for them.
	And that's the way this always works.
	So, it said, when the scope of the disaster exceeds state capacity, the president makes an emergency declaration and directs federal agencies, including FEMA, to fill the gaps at the state and local level.
	That's not true. They're not filling the gaps.
	They're taking over and taking command.
	We're in charge here.
	Because, you see, we have titles.
	Don't you want to work? Don't you want to get promoted to work for the federal government?
	I mean, you don't want to stay here at the state and local level all your life.
	And so, you don't have friends in high places because that's really where all the money is.
	And we got a lot of money for your community and for your programs and all the rest.
	You just do what we tell you to do.
	And so, The Guardian has an article.
	We're still finding dead neighbors in North Carolina.
	We need help. This is coming from...
	Of course, The Guardian is hardcore left...
	A publication from the UK. This is somebody who occupies the same political space as they do, who lives in Asheville, because as I said, Asheville is a very left-wing, artistic kind of community.
	Says, it seems like the governmental response has prioritized the most privileged, and I am one of those most privileged people.
	You know, kind of denounce yourself.
	It's a struggle session right here, okay, in The Guardian.
	But there's glimmers of truth that can be gleaned from all of the nonsense that is there.
	FEMA showed up to my affluent, resource-secure neighborhood of Asheville on October the 1st.
	I've been without power or water since the 27th of September.
	And I suddenly only showed up four days late.
	Mutual aid has been a lifeline for me and many others.
	And this is why I wanted to cover this.
	Because even this person, this leftist, who really likes FEMA, says, well, you know, they're just really not much use for this.
	The lifeline is going to be you and your neighbor.
	You and your community.
	Right? Mutual aid has been our lifeline.
	Besides hearing that Biden did an aerial overpass of our region, we've got your back.
	They put in there. And the appearance of FEMA trucks in my gentrified neighborhood on Tuesday.
	I have seen little evidence of the robust, coordinated, multi-agency response which I and many others had hoped for because they're statist leftists.
	Right? The government's going to come and save us.
	Any food I have personally eaten, water that I have drank or hope I have felt has come from my neighbors and community.
	Many of my fellow North Carolinians sit on the other side of the political aisle from me, but I have witnessed enough selfless generosity to keep my heart afloat while we continue to rebuild.
	The truth is that we need immense federal emergency funding right now.
	But it's not happening.
	We are not looking at weeks to recover.
	We're looking at months and years.
	We cannot simply rebuild what we were, though.
	Because what we were was not equitable and sustainable.
	This is a lefty person, right?
	But they realized that the reality is that it's their neighbors, regardless of what their politics are.
	They're helping each other.
	So, what is happening with crime?
	Well, North Carolina is now number three in the nation for illegal alien crime.
	And it's not just because of what's happening in this area.
	This has been going on for a while.
	This is an article from Restoration News.
	Attorney General Josh Stein, a candidate for North Carolina governor, remains silent as the state is overrun with illegal alien murderers and child rapists.
	North Carolina is now the third worst state in the nation for illegal alien crime.
	Restoration News has documented over 800 illegal alien criminals charged with thousands of crimes in North Carolina in just the last three years of the Biden administration.
	In Mecklenburg County alone, over 500 illegal aliens have been arrested for over 2,000 crimes since June 2021, including 10 murders and 52 counts of rape or sexual assault against children.
	They actually even set up a website with all this information so you can see it.
	The big preventable problem is Mecklenburg Sheriff Gary McFadden's sanctuary policies that harbor illegal aliens.
	McFadden refuses to cooperate, withholding inmates who have immigration detainers issued against them.
	As a result, illegal aliens arrested in Mecklenburg County, this is where Charlotte is, will most likely be released back onto the streets to harm rather than be deported, including pedophiles.
	In September, the North Carolina Republican-controlled legislature passed a bill that requires sheriffs to cooperate with ICE.
	The bill requires a sheriff to take the prisoner to a state judicial official who must be provided with an immigration detainer and administrative warrants prior to a prisoner's release.
	Democrat Governor Roy Cooper vetoed the bill, but it will come back, and they have vetoed his bills over and over again.
	Restoration News reached out to Attorney General Josh Stein's office, the guy who's running for governor.
	To ask if he would enforce the law regarding this, we received no response.
	Stein, however, is endorsed by several sanctuary cities, including Mecklenburg's sheriff, Gary McFadden.
	We made an open records request to Mecklenburg County to get the data on criminals for whom ICE issued detainers.
	We have placed them all on a website, illegalaliencrimes.com.
	But here's just a few examples, and I won't read you the names.
	They were all placed on immigration detainer, but it doesn't mean that they were turned over to ICE, because you have a lot of sanctuary sheriffs who won't do that.
	This person, one, arrested on 12 counts of indecent liberties with a child.
	Murder of a 19-year-old girl found stabbed to death.
	Another. The rape of a child.
	First-degree sex offense of a child breaking and entering kidnapping and more.
	Another. Murder after he shot and killed a man.
	He fled and was found in Houston, Texas.
	Another. Illegal alien from Honduras was charged with murder and five counts of attempted murder.
	And a shooting spree.
	Another. Arrested after he sexually assaulted a woman in a bathroom at a tire shop.
	And on and on. And I said, remember that just because ICE issues a detainer doesn't mean that the sanctuary sheriff turned over these monsters to ICE after their time was served.
	On the contrary, they're probably released back onto the streets.
	So, if you want a safer community, vote for candidates who won't harbor criminals illegally crossing the border harming Americans.
	As I've said before, pay attention to the sheriff.
	It's going to affect your life more than who is president.
	This is where the rubber meets the road.
	This is where the globalist policies are enacted or are blocked, is at the local level.
	And so you need to pay more attention to the sheriff, and especially when you're looking at the primaries.
	We're going to take a quick break here when we come back.
	We're going to talk a little bit more about what is happening with politics and the border.
	We're also going to take a look at some of the nonsense about Columbus Day that is coming out.
	It's absolutely crazy. Anyway, Gustav7 writes, FEMA is more concerned with protecting their bad reputation than helping people.
	Boy, is that not true.
	It absolutely is true.
	We'll be right back.
	Oh
	You're listening to the David Knight show Go.
	you Thank you for the tip.
	He says, in the new Twister movie, they highlight the fact that they're going around to buy land that's been hit by a tornado for a fraction of the cost.
	Absolutely true. Absolutely true.
	Predictive programming. Well, I wanted to talk about this yesterday.
	I didn't get around to it yesterday.
	But on Sunday...
	On ABC News, where you have one of the Sunday shows, Martha Raddatz absolutely beclowned herself.
	I mean, you talk about an outraged, biased, politicized interview.
	But J.D. Vance just, you know, eviscerated what she had to say.
	Here's the exchange.
	I understand what you're saying, that some people left behind, but he's making these statements that the mayor is flat out disputing.
	Well, Martha, you just said the mayor said they were exaggerated.
	Grossly exaggerated. That means there's got to be some element of truth here.
	And, of course, President Trump was actually in Aurora, Colorado, talking to people on the ground.
	And what we're hearing, of course, Martha, is that people are terrified by what has happened with some of these Venezuelan gangs.
	Senator Vance, I'm going to stop you, because I know exactly what happened.
	I'm going to stop you. I know exactly what happened.
	Apartment complexes and the mayor said our dedicated police officers have acted on those concerns.
	A handful of problems.
	Only, Martha, do you hear yourself?
	Only a handful of apartment complexes in America were taken over by Venezuelan gangs and Donald Trump is the problem and not Kamala Harris' open border.
	Americans are so fed up with what's going on and they have every right to be.
	And I really find this exchange, Martha, sort of interesting because You seem to be more focused with nitpicking everything that Donald Trump has said, rather than acknowledging that apartment complexes in the United States of America are being taken over by violent gangs.
	I worry so much more about that problem than anything else here.
	We've got to get American communities in a safe space again.
	Unfortunately, when you let people in by the millions, most of whom are unvetted, most of whom you don't know who they really are, you're going to have problems like this.
	Kamala Harris, 94 executive orders that undid Donald Trump's successful border policies.
	We knew this stuff would happen.
	They dragged about opening the border, and now we have the consequences and we're living with it.
	We can do so much better, but frankly, we're not going to do better, Martha, unless Donald Trump calls this stuff out.
	I'm glad that he did. Okay, let's just end that with they did not invade or take over the city, as Donald Trump said.
	I want to move on to just a few apartment complexes.
	Yeah, no big deal. They just took over several apartment complexes, and the people yesterday, it's good that we waited on this, I guess because yesterday the apartment complex spoke out about that.
	Yeah, not a problem. Just three or four apartment complexes.
	We got gangs pulling guns on us and shaking us down for this, but hey, the mayor doesn't care.
	Oh, so then nobody should care about it.
	See, that's also another part of it.
	But again, it's more important for her to score political points to nitpick over this.
	As he said, do you hear what you just said?
	Only a handful of political apartment complexes were taken over by a Venezuelan gang?
	No problem. So that was Sunday on ABC News.
	Martha, it's time for you to retire, I think.
	You become this cranky old person.
	Get off my lawn.
	It's not time to retire.
	You've been in this too long.
	You're too obviously part.
	You can't even hide it.
	Don't even try to hide it.
	So, it is the Tren de Aragua, I guess is how you pronounce it, a gang, the Venezuelan gang that made headlines in September.
	Members involved an investigation of a string of alleged criminal incidents in Aurora, Colorado.
	And so she continued to press him on all of that.
	Only a handful of apartment complexes taken over.
	You know, I know what happened here, she said.
	Well, in response, property management company CBZ management has allegedly shut down three locations in the city that were taken over.
	And that's just one company that has had three apartment complexes taken over.
	How many did they do?
	Well, we don't know. The Venezuelan gang reportedly began as a prison gang in 2014.
	That's the same way that MS-13 began.
	They began as a prison gang.
	Although this began as a prison gang in Venezuela...
	Whereas MS-13 from El Salvador, that began as a prison gang in the U.S. They were imprisoned in the U.S. and created the gang.
	So they began in 2014 in Venezuela.
	And they've rapidly grown into one of the country's largest criminal organizations.
	In mid-September, the Aurora Police Department confirmed that 10 gang members in the area have been living in the city and committing acts of violence against members of the migrant community.
	Republican Aurora Mayor Mike Kaufman.
	You see how this is? It's like the Republican Mayor of Springfield, Ohio.
	Oh, we don't have any problem.
	Or the Republican Governor of Ohio.
	It's not a problem. I like the fact that, you know, they've swamped the population with immigrants from Haiti.
	It's not a problem at all.
	The Republicans who sold us out.
	Who did Mike DeWine sell us out to?
	Well, Secretary of State Pompeo said, I'd like to know if you are open to having all of these refugees resettle.
	Because if you send us a letter, when the refugees show up, We'll give you money.
	But if you don't sign the letter saying that you'd love to have the refugees, well, then you have to take care of them on your dime.
	And you know, they may not just come directly into your state.
	They could come into another state.
	We won't bring them in directly to your state if you don't sign this letter.
	But if they come into a neighboring state, they can always come in and settle in.
	And we're not going to give you any money if you don't sign that.
	That was the Trump administration.
	That was Trump and Pompeo.
	Said, sign this letter and we'll give you money.
	Folks, it's always about the money.
	It's always about the money.
	And of course, the Republican Governor DeWine, who had offered a million dollars to people if they would take the shot, you got a chance at winning a million dollars.
	Of course, on the other side, you've got a chance of dying or getting a heart disease or strokes and blood clots and all the rest of this stuff.
	But yeah, hey, you feeling lucky?
	You could win a million dollars, says Mike DeWine.
	He was the one who started that, that Republican Governor, by the way.
	Vivek the Snake Ramaswamy was part of his COVID group.
	Vivek was angling to get a track and trace contract there.
	But he's also one of the big pharma bros.
	You know, they're Martin Shkreli and all that kind of stuff.
	That guy, Dr.
	Shiva, has got him nailed.
	Vivek the snake.
	But it's also DeWine.
	DeWine, who was running this whole thing, anything for money.
	I can be bought for money.
	So I'm assuming that I can buy your compliance and get you to inject an untested mRNA genetic modification, perhaps nanotechnology, whatever the rest of this stuff is.
	Just inject it. You might win a million dollars because, hey, I'll do anything for money, says DeWine.
	So I imagine that the people in the state will do anything for money.
	So, you have the governor, the Republican governor, selling out the people of Springfield, Ohio.
	You've got the Republican mayor of Springfield, Ohio.
	You've got the former Republican President Trump selling these people out as well.
	Because folks, it's all about the cash.
	So this Republican mayor in Aurora, Colorado, Mike Kaufman, released a statement a day earlier claiming that the reality is that concerns over gang activity in the city and the state have been grossly exaggerated and have unfairly hurt the city's identity and the sense of safety.
	Well, let's take a look at that.
	Let's take a look at that and see if that is the case.
	Has it been grossly exaggerated?
	Here's what the property management company said when they spoke out.
	Quote, That the Republican governor who sat there, the Republican mayor who sat there, does nothing about all this stuff.
	He wants the money as well.
	Just like, hey, I don't care.
	As long as the federal government sends me money, I'll let these people run roughshod over the people of my city.
	That's what the Republican governor is in Springfield, Ohio, in Aurora, Colorado, the Republican governor of Ohio.
	Send me cash, and I'll let these people run free.
	A property management company in Colorado has gone online to deliver the truth about a war that a Venezuelan gang has brought to its doorstep.
	This arose several weeks ago as gang members were caught on video in Aurora, Colorado.
	I played those for you at the time.
	Apparently taking over an apartment building, including collecting rent from tenants for apartments in the buildings that they did not own.
	And then threatening these people who were the managers.
	And again, that's the back and forth there with J.D. Vance and Martha Raddatz.
	Well, for the record, they didn't take over the city.
	Do you hear yourself? They only took over a few apartment complexes.
	They took over apartment complexes.
	Here's their story. We started managing these buildings when new owners acquired the Colorado properties in 2019.
	At that time, the properties were in poor condition.
	Our mission was to renovate them to increase their value.
	This was an ambitious project that would significantly benefit the community.
	After the attack on our representative, the company is CBZ, he began getting threatening text messages. We also frequently found people illegally occupying newly vacated apartments during scheduled tours.
	This was initially attributed to an influx of migrants exploiting squatter laws.
	Remember that Venezuelan guy?
	That reprehensible, you know, he's just the sneer in his face, the hatred, the contempt that he had for America and Americans.
	And he was saying in Spanish, come here, you can squat, you can take over.
	He was eventually arrested.
	They found out that he was a Venezuelan intelligence officer.
	Former, they said. Well, whether it was former or not, that's what it is.
	So, again, the Venezuelans pushing this, steal it, squat on it.
	The corporation's statements continue to explain illegal tenants and squatters apparently did pay rent, but to gang members.
	To address this entity, the gangs, we contacted every city official we could think of for help with the problem.
	But nobody wants to do anything about it.
	Not the Republican mayor.
	Unfortunately, none were willing to take meaningful action.
	Meanwhile, our CBZ representative continued receiving threatening messages in which these criminals revealed his home address and his spouse's name.
	They're threatening him. Personally.
	But the Republican mayor doesn't care.
	The Republican mayor just wants to tamp it down.
	Everything's good. Everything's good.
	We're doing great here.
	Just like Joe Biden flying over Asheville.
	What do you think about the storm? What storm?
	What storm? Oh, yeah.
	Well, here's the deal. Okay?
	They're all happy. And we give them all the money they need.
	Here's the deal. Meanwhile, our CBZ representative continued to receive threatening messages.
	His spouse's name, his home address.
	Finally, the APD, FBI, and Homeland Security informed us, APD would be the Aurora Police Department, that those sending the messages and controlling our building were part of a notorious gang from Venezuela, the Tren de Aragua.
	They also mentioned that our situation was just a blip on the radar.
	As this gang is causing significant problems nationwide.
	Did you hear that, Martha?
	Yeah, it's merely a few apartment complexes, but the FBI says this is a problem nationwide, not just in the city of Aurora, Colorado.
	Oh, she is so upset.
	It's only three apartment complexes that they've taken over and threatened the people, threatened to kill them and their family.
	Two days after our FBI meeting, the gang confronted our on-site manager, asserting control over all three properties.
	They offered an ultimatum.
	You either share the rental income 50-50, or you lose the building permanently.
	They also threatened to harm him and his family.
	For the safety of our management team and their families, we withdrew them from the properties and focused on seeking help from the government agencies.
	They said, well, we expected some help.
	Maybe even from the National Guard.
	But they got no help.
	They got no help from the National Guard, from the FBI, from the Police Department, Homeland Security.
	Not from the Republican elected officials.
	No help at all.
	You see? You better focus on what's local.
	You're certainly not going to get any help at the federal level.
	Because remember... It was the Trump administration that sent the letters out saying, we'll give you money if you open up for refugees and that type of thing.
	It said, we'd hope that we'd get some help, maybe even from the National Guard, but that never happened.
	Instead, we were left helpless, watching as violence, bullets, and destruction overtook our buildings.
	Many of our legitimate tenants fled out of fear.
	Despite the obvious crisis, several city officials refused to acknowledge the reality, like that Republican mayor.
	Instead, they blamed us, and they cited code violations as a reason for shutting down our property.
	Violations that we couldn't resolve for tenants who were not ours, said the company.
	This reminds me of what happened up in Massachusetts.
	And there was a woman who was the federal attorney there.
	And she was involved in the Aaron Schwartz case.
	They'd been grooming her to become governor, this federal attorney.
	And she had come after Aaron Schwartz.
	And the official story is that her prosecution, her persecution for something that was not even really a crime...
	The local people didn't want to do it.
	She picked it up as a federal prosecutor and did it.
	And so her name was Carmen Ortiz.
	And so she came after Aaron Schwartz.
	I don't believe that he committed suicide, but the official story is that she drove him to suicide.
	And in defense, her husband momentarily put up a tweet on social media that said she didn't drive him to suicide.
	She offered to reduce his sentence to 30 days, not 30 years, if he would have done this and this and said that and that.
	And then he took it down.
	I think that he was murdered because he opposed all of this CISPA stuff.
	And he was a real fighter.
	Anyway, in addition to that...
	I think that was the thing that finally took her out.
	But in addition to that, she went to a motel that over 15 years, and it was not a great motel in a great section of town, but over 15 years, they had had three drug busts in this hotel.
	And she confiscated the hotel under civil asset forfeiture.
	Over three arrests over a 15-year period.
	It's amazing to me to see how these people abuse the law and how they don't protect anyone.
	Finally, they said, one city councilman, Danny with an eye, decided to take action after one of our last remaining legitimate tenants, Cindy Romero, reached out to her in desperation.
	Luckily, Cindy had her own cameras.
	Most of ours had been destroyed by the gangs, and she provided video truth.
	And this is where it went public.
	And immediately you saw this one lone city councilwoman who cared, attacked by the rest of them.
	See, the problem for Aurora is that they're being run by two gangs, two protection rackets.
	One of them is Republicans and Democrats, and the other one is this Venezuelan gang.
	And how are they different, right?
	Well, you better share your revenue with me.
	We'll call that taxes, or we'll take everything.
	The company said it was speaking up because, quote, many still deny the reality of the situation, like Martha Raddatz at ABC. Many still deny the reality of the situation, sometimes using us as scapegoats.
	That's why we are no longer staying silent.
	We will continue to counter falsehoods with simple facts and evidence.
	Yes, gangs did take control of our apartment complexes in Aurora, and the government did nothing.
	That is the story.
	That's the story. That's the rest of the story, Martha, right?
	So, in addition to that interesting clip, we had one yesterday.
	This is going back and forth.
	Some people are saying, well, you took this out of context.
	Here's Bill Clinton admitting, as one person said, for the first time, that Lakin Riley would still be alive if there had been vetting procedures at the southern border.
	You had a case in Georgia not very long ago, didn't you?
	They made an ad about a young woman who'd been killed by an immigrant.
	Yeah, well, if they'd all been properly vetted, that probably wouldn't have happened.
	But if they're all properly vetted, and that doesn't happen, and America is not having enough babies to keep our populations up.
	I wonder why that is. So we need immigrants that have been vetted to do work.
	There wouldn't be a problem.
	I wonder why that is.
	You see, we've got a problem.
	Now, we need to have as many abortions as possible.
	But we're not having enough babies.
	And you need to take all these vaccines, but we know that's sterilizing people.
	And we need to have our kids told that they're in the wrong body so they take sterilizing chemicals and have mutilation of their genitals.
	But we just not have enough babies.
	So you know what we're going to have to do? We're going to have to bring a different group of people in and give them your land.
	How reprehensible is that?
	Now, that's not what people have talked about.
	To me, that is the most reprehensible part of what he's saying.
	We don't have enough babies because you're sterilizing, mutilating, and aborting babies and children.
	That's the issue.
	That's not what they focus on, though.
	They're going to focus on the border thing, and they're going to focus on Lake and Riley.
	And, of course, that is something to look at as well.
	I'm absolutely surprised that nobody has talked about the fact that, well, you know, we're not having enough babies, so we've got to have this open immigration thing.
	And pull up that article there.
	Watch Bill Clinton unintentionally create Trump's next campaign ad.
	Show the graph.
	Scroll up. Look at that graph.
	That's the chart there.
	It went up so high, the number of people coming in over the border illegally.
	That went up so high, you can't fit the entire chart on to the screen.
	Look at that. I mean, it was basically down at nothing in the 50s when I was a kid.
	Didn't have illegal immigration.
	Why is that? I mean, he didn't have a wall in the 50s?
	No wall? And there was no illegal immigration?
	How did that happen? It's kind of like people, you know, why did we have people in the 50s, 60s, and 70s?
	Why were people riding around in pickup trucks with gun racks and guns on the gun racks?
	And why do we have kids taking their own rifles to school to practice on the rifle team where we didn't have any school shootings?
	Why is that? Nobody asks why these things are happening here.
	Well, I'll tell you why.
	I mean, we know what's happening with school shootings.
	We know what is happening in our society.
	We also know what's happening with the SSRI drugs as well as the spiritual poison that is going through our society.
	But we do know what's going on since the 50s and how this has all exploded.
	And it's the magnet that's pulling people across.
	And I've said that for the longest time.
	You're not going to be able to physically interdict people coming across the border as long as you offer them free stuff.
	These are people who are coming from very poor countries, and just as you or I would, they're going to come across the border to get all the free stuff that's been incentivized for them.
	And Biden is giving them better benefits than he gives Americans.
	Better educational benefits, all the rest of the stuff.
	And of course, Trump has promised that if somebody gets any kind of a degree, a two-year junior college degree, Then he'll give them a green card.
	And of course they're going to give them preferential treatment for educational money as well.
	And they're going to have them go to the government schools where they're going to train them to hate America and hate Americans.
	And then they're going to send the bill to you.
	And you're going to lose your home because you won't be able to afford it because of the expensive schools that we've got to build everywhere.
	That's what's really going on. Pull that chart back up again.
	Look at how that exploded.
	In the three years of, look at that, it's off the top of the charts there under the Biden administration and Harris.
	And so going back to this Clinton thing, people say, well, that's taking it out of context.
	Well, here's the full context.
	And on the immigration thing, she's the only candidate who has actually endorsed a bill That would hold down immigration in any given year to a certain point, and then make sure we gave people a decent place to live.
	We didn't divide people from their children.
	And we did total vetting before people got in.
	Now, Trump killed the bill.
	The bill was written, being written, by senior Republicans in the Senate.
	And he killed the bill.
	Why? You had a case in Georgia not very long ago, didn't you?
	They made an ad about a young woman who'd been killed by an immigrant.
	Yeah, well, if they'd all been properly vetted, that probably wouldn't have happened.
	But if they all properly vetted, and that doesn't happen, and America is not having enough babies to keep our population...
	So you get the idea. What he's saying is, well, really, Lakin Riley was the responsibility of Trump because he stopped that bill.
	Well, that's not... When we look at the timeline, that doesn't have anything to do with it.
	But he does put that out there.
	And of course, this is the...
	Somebody put this up. Well, here was the one that was passed initially.
	It's on the left, you see.
	The one that was passed initially by the House.
	Do fully end, catch and release by reinstating remain in Mexico policy.
	But then that was deleted in the Senate.
	Initially, it was going to prevent the exploitation of unaccompanied alien children.
	That was essentially deleted.
	Normalized thousands of border crossings a day.
	Accelerates the granting of work permits to be immediate to illegal aliens.
	Anyway, you can go back.
	You can look at all this stuff.
	And... And you can see all the different things there that were in the House bill and things that were removed and how it was different when it came out of the Senate.
	Now, that still is not the reason that they voted it down.
	It is true that the reason they voted it down was because Trump won that political football.
	In the same way that when you go back and you look at the Reagan administration, Bill Casey...
	We became a CIA director.
	I think he'd been involved with the CIA before.
	He was definitely involved with the OSS in World War II. But Bill Casey, you know, telling the Iranians, don't release those hostages.
	Keep them until after the election.
	As a matter of fact, keep them until after Reagan is sworn in.
	Not even going to release them after Reagan wins the election.
	Going to wait until after he's sworn in, which they did.
	The day he was sworn in, they released them.
	And so what Trump is doing is he's essentially doing the same thing.
	Don't change anything with this border catastrophe.
	Let it run through the election.
	And, you know, we're 100 days out.
	We've got 22 days to the election, 78 days to the next president being installed.
	But that's the kind of cynical maneuvering that is happening there.
	But it's also a cynical lie from Bill Clinton.
	And it's also important that we understand that they create the problem that we don't have enough children.
	They do everything they can to make sure that we kill our children, sterilize our children, mutilate our children, and then use that as a necessity to bring in more people.
	What this is, folks, this is national suicide.
	Kill all the Americans.
	Sterilize all the Americans.
	And bring in other people from other countries.
	As a matter of fact, while we're talking about Columbus, you know, this cartoon here.
	You've got these Aztecs.
	And guys just cut the heart out of a person on an altar there.
	And they go, oh no, here comes the far right.
	And here comes Columbus with a priest carrying the cross.
	Oh, they're going to stop us from all this stuff.
	Yeah. Yeah.
	So, anyway, that is the back and forth that is happening there.
	And so, you're not getting the full truth from either side, are you, really?
	And then when we look at what Trump is proposing, by the way, one of the things, take a look at this on this migrant bill here.
	Look at the bottom there. The Republicans are going to codify E-Verify to ensure a legal workforce.
	Now, this is one of the things that I've complained about DeSantis and the Republicans in Florida for doing.
	E-Verify has been around for a very long time.
	E-Verify is a situation where you have people verified by the federal government before you can hire them.
	Do you really want to have that happen?
	I don't. I would be one of the people that I imagine they would not verify.
	I don't want to have that kind of weaponized system, number one.
	But, you know, it's always been voluntary.
	They made it mandatory in Florida.
	And that's what the Republicans want to do at the House.
	Be very careful about that.
	But there are other things.
	Other things that are perhaps, I don't know, even more dangerous.
	Take a look at this.
	This is to all you Trump supporters out there.
	Be honest.
	If Kamala Harris got up there and said, we're going to institute a biometric entry-exit visa tracking system and the surveillance is going to be in the air, on the land, and in the sea, you know that's all it would take to convince you you don't need to be voting for Kamala Harris.
	And yet... It's Trump who wants the biometric entry-exit visa tracking system.
	So please comment below why you're going to vote for him when he wants to surveil you.
	Yeah, that's right.
	And of course we know that's what's being put in place already.
	Right? A lot of people say, well, you know, the Biden administration, TSA's got face scans on everything everywhere now at the airport.
	Well, you know, that is the agenda.
	And just to underscore the fact that Trump is just another puppet being installed by the overlords who are running, you want to call it the deep state, whatever you want to call it.
	It's these globalist overlords with their global agenda.
	Everybody's got to have a biometric ID. They've got to have prior permission from the government to travel to do anything.
	And the government has to know everything that you have done.
	They've got to track and trace all of your movements everywhere all of the time.
	This has been the agenda.
	It was part of the agenda that they brought in with the COVID MacGuffin.
	Oh, yeah. We've got to know because there's this deadly disease, this pandemic that's out there.
	Well, that's always been their agenda.
	It's a setup. Complete surveillance.
	And a permissioned society.
	And so it is Trump who is on board with that agenda.
	And the Republicans will sell you this global surveillance control agenda, locking people in place, a complete lockdown.
	And they'll sell it to you over fear of the border, just like this mandatory e-verify.
	They'll do it. And just so you can hear it directly from Trump...
	The biometric entry exit visa tracking system, which we need desperately.
	In my administration, we will ensure that this system is in place.
	And I will tell you, it will be on land, it will be on sea, it will be in air, we will have a proper tracking system.
	Kind of totalitarian everywhere, right?
	Tracking, totalitarian tracking, on land, on sea, on air.
	We will track everything that you do.
	Oh, but it's about those outlanders, the foreigners, right?
	You know, the fear of the other.
	That's how these people operate.
	And it's no different. Look, Lala, as somebody pointed out, she speaks somebody superimposed her.
	People walking through Trump's wall.
	So she's there talking about how important it is as law enforcement.
	I know how important it is at the border, and they've got her...
	Blue screened in front of a picture of all these people just going right through Trump's wall.
	It's so phony. The wall is phony.
	She's phony. Trump's phony.
	It's the unit party, folks.
	Why are we fighting over this one thing?
	Because it's a distraction.
	It's bread and circuses.
	So you don't focus on the things that really are essential to your life and the real problems that they are creating that they won't even address.
	Yeah, the problem is the welfare magnet.
	Again, go back to the 1950s.
	There was no border. There was no wall.
	We didn't have land, air, sea, biometrics, and all the rest of the stuff, but we didn't have a problem, did we?
	And, of course, America was a lot wealthier then in the 1950s than it is now.
	It wasn't that, well, you know, the Mexicans are doing so well, they don't need to come into America to make money.
	No, America was doing better.
	But it was people who were coming in who wanted to work, and they weren't necessarily going to be voters.
	They weren't necessarily going to stay.
	But now, because we've created this massive welfare system, you, as an American taxpayer...
	Are paying to give them superior health benefits, education benefits, you name it.
	Job opportunities, that's it.
	That's the problem. And you can see it very clearly in that chart.
	It's just gone up from essentially zero to the 1950s to astronomical now.
	Well, we're going to take a quick break, and when we come back, we're going to talk about Columbus Day.
	But Guard Goldsmith says, I've got to say, J.D. Vance did what I hope any logical person would do when confronted by her insanity.
	He nailed it. He absolutely nailed it.
	Atomic Dog, I bet only a small fraction of federal funds for migrant services actually goes to the illegals.
	I bet the vast majority of dollars goes to the NGOs and their management.
	I would agree. I would agree.
	Syrian Girl, do any of you remember when the threat of going public, quote-unquote, and the media was enough of a threat to cause government to move in the right direction?
	Aurora residents went public and there were crickets.
	Crickets. Until Martha Raddatz came along.
	And then she pushed back real hard.
	N-Max says, guaranteed that Trump will throw another scandemic if elected, either another disease or some climate PS. I agree.
	Absolutely. Or wars.
	I mean, they're pushing for the war, and he's fully on board.
	I mean, you know, let's ramp this up.
	Come on, Israel. Let's have a full-on war with the Middle East.
	Let's go to war with Iran, says Trump, the peace candidate.
	Actually, RT said he is harming himself.
	More than he realizes. He was positioning himself as the anti-war candidate, but no, not when it comes to Israel.
	He is the pro-war candidate.
	Let's go after Iran.
	Gustav Seven. I told people Trump would do the green card for the school thing for my immigrants, but no one believed me.
	It is retorted that it is only for super smart people who want to work.
	That's what he tells stupid, super stupid people who want to vote.
	We'll be right back. You're
	listening to The David Knight Show.
	Well, Dusty Milton said, I asked my son if he learned about Christopher Columbus yesterday at school.
	He replied, who is Christopher Columbus?
	You've got to get your kid out of that school.
	You better hope that they don't tell him who Christopher Columbus is.
	That would be even worse. You've got an opportunity here to define who Christopher Columbus is, as the school is ignoring it.
	And of course, now we know Christopher Columbus was a Jew, right?
	You've got some new information, you can tell them.
	New York City Columbus Day parade goers get saucy over the new claim that he was Jewish, not Italian.
	They said, we don't care.
	Why should we? And can they determine this accurately based on DNA 500 years later?
	No. I don't for a minute believe they could do it.
	Just like I don't believe the Jefferson DNA story.
	But that was a different situation.
	There they were looking at people, you know, 200 plus years later.
	And they said, well, okay, we can see some Jefferson DNA here.
	Well, did that come from Thomas Jefferson?
	Was that some of his descendants?
	You can't determine that.
	And with this, we don't know either.
	But does it really matter, right?
	Yeah. They said he was a Sephardic Jew, likely from Spain, rather than from Italy.
	So what? Now, Judaism is all these different things.
	It can be an ethnicity.
	It can be a culture.
	It can be a religion.
	But, you know, so which one are we talking about here, right?
	The ethnicity thing?
	As the New York Post says, they don't care what the DNA says.
	Columbus was as Italian as spaghetti, which, by the way, came from China, brought by Marco Polo.
	The noodles. My daughter was real big on noodles.
	The Chinese love their noodles, and that's where Marco Polo got it.
	The Italians love it even better.
	It doesn't matter, right?
	Does it? You know, the Italians took the Chinese noodles and did all kinds of things with them and popularized them even more so.
	Spanish researchers said that Christopher Columbus was theirs.
	They were the ones who pulled out the DNA. See, he comes from Spain, not from Italy, okay?
	So, they said, and this is what the New York Post says, they said, even if true, right?
	That he concealed his Jewish identity, or he converted to Catholicism to avoid religious persecution.
	Well, how do they know that?
	Right? How do they know that?
	I mean, first of all, even if it was true that he was Jewish, how do you know that he converted to Catholicism to avoid religious persecution?
	That's not the only reason that people convert.
	Maybe he really believed it, right?
	Anyway, he says, if he is Jewish, that's great.
	But he's still an Italian.
	He's Italian-Jewish.
	That's what one person said.
	I think that was Geppo from the Marx Brothers.
	I think... Who, of course, is a Jewish-Italian himself, right?
	Cindy Trimble said that she was just happy that the Columbus Day Parade hadn't been canceled altogether because of disputes over the explorer's brutal actions toward Native Caribbeans.
	You know, like this. Here comes the far right.
	They're going to stop us with our voodoo and our child sacrifice stuff.
	The National Italian American Foundation...
	Adheres to the statement of Mayor Marco Bucci of Genoa that reads, The State Archive of Genoa preserves dozens of documents, mostly letters and notary acts, we'll just call it that way, which allows us to assert Columbus' Genoese origin and to reconstruct his entourage.
	No DNA test will ever surpass historical documentation.
	I agree with that. It doesn't really matter.
	But don't you see what they're doing here?
	King Arthur. Now you've got a Walsh council has said that King Arthur could have been LGBT. This is, and I think this is based on the fact that they want to believe that when he saw the lady in the lake, he was actually looking at his own reflection.
	That he was in drag.
	No, but do you see what the game is here?
	The game is to remove every cultural icon.
	It doesn't matter about the details.
	Here's King Arthur. They're not even sure King Arthur was a real person.
	Or if he's a combination of a lot of different things.
	It's kind of like Robin Hood, you know, these things.
	But now, you know, these people are going to pretend that they know that this person, who may be a fictional character, was LGBT. There's no indication in the legend surrounding King Arthur that he was homosexual, bisexual, or transgender.
	So, nevertheless, this council in Denbyshire cited a Welsh legend that, quote, on a subsequent occasion, Arthur dressed himself in women's clothes in order to visit a girl in Ruthen.
	Hmm. This is what we have out of benighted Britain.
	Yeah, a lot of times people have donned women's clothing in order to, as a disguise, to try to get.
	That has absolutely nothing to do with transgenderism or being a transvestite or anything.
	So, why has the far left worked so hard to cancel Christopher Columbus?
	Well, this is an article from The Daily Signal.
	And of course we know.
	We know exactly why.
	All culture, all European ethnicity must be erased.
	Must be demonized and erased.
	This is a Marxist thing.
	They have to destroy everything.
	And they are doing that, right?
	We're in the last moments of this Marxist conquest.
	We've been colonized by these people, where they have marched through all of the institutions.
	And what is the last thing they want to do?
	They want to take down, eradicate our history, eradicate our culture, tear down our monuments.
	Efforts to cancel men like Columbus come from cultural Marxists.
	No, they're Marxists.
	They're not cultural at all.
	Because Marxism is focused on culture.
	That's like saying, well, they're economic Marxists.
	No, Marxism is a complete worldview, a governing philosophy, and it involves culture, it involves religion, it involves economics, everything in our life.
	So you don't need to put cultural Marxism.
	Just like when you put the adjective social justice, you're no longer talking about justice anymore.
	Justice needs no adjectives.
	And if you put an adjective there, you're changing the meaning of justice.
	Marxism needs no adjectives.
	We need to understand it for what it is.
	Anyway, the efforts to cancel men like Columbus come from these Marxists who thought that you need to change American culture to truly change our policies at the highest level, says a columnist for the Daily Signal, author of The War on History, The Conspiracy to Rewrite America's Past.
	Well, it is simply what the Marxists always do in every country when they take over.
	There's nothing unique about this at all.
	Lala Harris, a video surfaced of her coming after Columbus and pushing the idea that we replace it with Indigenous People's Day.
	This is from back in 2019.
	Yeah. It is an honor, of course, to be with you this week as we celebrate Indigenous Peoples' Day.
	She's celebrating me?...
	about our nation's history.
	Since 1934, every October, the United States has recognized the voyage of the European explorers who first landed on the shores of the Americas.
	But that is not the whole story.
	That has never been the whole story.
	Those explorers ushered in a wave of devastation for tribal nations, perpetrating violence, stealing land, and spreading disease.
	We must not shy away from this shameful past.
	And we must shed light on it and do everything we can to address the impact of the past on Native communities today.
	Yeah, we are so contemptible of non-Native Americans that this spawn, Lala, the spawn of a Marxist professor...
	Who immigrated here in his adulthood.
	That she could become president.
	That's how closed our society is to all this stuff, isn't it?
	Well, after that came out and people started pushing that around, she doubled down on it.
	She said, this Indigenous People's Day, I'm thinking about the young Indigenous leaders I met in Arizona last week.
	I'm counting on their leadership and looking forward to our partnership.
	This comes after videos of her from both 2019 and 2021 have spread like wildfire across social media platforms, spotlighting her contempt for Europeans and the people who founded and built this country.
	By the way, I see people like her as colonizers.
	Because I am indigenous.
	My family's been here for 400 years.
	You're a newcomer.
	You're a colonizer. I don't have any use for you, okay?
	You want to play that game?
	I'm an indigenous people.
	How about that? You aren't.
	You're about the least indigenous person that we could have running for office.
	So, anyway, just call her a colonizer.
	Because that's what they use with everybody else.
	She's the colonizer.
	In 2021, she said as Vice President that the U.S., quote, must not shy away from its shameful past of European explorers who, she said, ushered in a wave of devastation.
	Isn't she the one who says we ought to be unburdened by what has been?
	No, not going to forget that.
	And of course, when you want to talk about a shameful past, you can talk about her past as a sex worker and how she slept her way to the top, to the Oval Office.
	You want to nitpick about every offense over the last 500 years or whatever, something 500 years ago?
	And that's the reality.
	Look, Christopher Columbus, as a man...
	We don't know. Was he Jewish?
	Was he Spanish? Was he Italian?
	What did he do in his lifetime?
	Well, if we can find somebody who imagines that he did something that was horrible, or he comes from an ethnicity that we like or that we dislike, well, then we can cancel him.
	Christopher Columbus, 500 years later, is not about the life of the man.
	It's about a movement. It's about what began with an action that he had.
	What we're celebrating when we celebrate Columbus is a spirit of exploration, of discovery, of building the society that we have here.
	We're not celebrating the man per se, but they come after him because they want to tear down this society, this culture that he was seminal in.
	Those explorers ushered in a wave of devastation, she says, for tribal nations.
	They perpetrated violence.
	They stole land and spread disease.
	You know, those poor people who were here doing human sacrifice all the time.
	We must not shy away from this shameful past, and we must shed light on it and do everything we can to address the impact of the past on Native communities today.
	Well, it was her father who bragged That his family had owned slaves.
	Bragged about it.
	Bragged about it. Have you no shame, Lala?
	Have you been completely unburdened from your past?
	But you want to burden us with things that your version of history from 500 years ago?
	Yeah. What about that past?
	Your family's slave-owner past?
	Well, this is my...
	Real clear, Mark, is Jason Trenert.
	So that's why Christopher Columbus and Columbus Day matter.
	He says there's no less than 60 cities, towns, counties named after Christopher Columbus in the United States, not the least of which is our nation's capital, the District of Columbia.
	Somewhat ironically, a current hotbed of anti-Western thought in America's vaunted system of higher education is Columbia University.
	The first recorded celebration of Columbus Day took place October 1792 by the Columbian Order of New York, also known as Tammany Hall.
	Also known for massive corruption, by the way.
	In order to commemorate... So, again, I guess we should cancel them or something?
	No. We just look at...
	You take these things one at a time.
	You have to be able to, when somebody does the right thing, you have to support that.
	When somebody does the wrong thing, you call them out on it.
	And the whole point of this is not to worship Christopher Columbus.
	It's to acknowledge the beginning of this civilization and the seminal role that he played in it.
	So they wanted to commemorate the 300th anniversary of his historic voyage.
	And they were also the people that were there.
	It was Irish people as well as Italians.
	The Irish wanted to help to establish their bona fides as true Americans.
	And so they wanted to tap into the Catholic side of this.
	And the Italians wanted to tap into the ethnic side of Columbus.
	And do it under the auspices of the Knights of Columbus.
	Okay. So, anyway, they successfully lobbied Franklin Roosevelt to proclaim October the 12th to be Columbus Day in the U.S. And they invited all Americans to observe its significance with appropriate ceremonies that express, quote, public sentiment benefiting the anniversary of the discovery of America.
	Columbus Day became officially recognized as a federal holiday, celebrated on the second Monday in October in 1971.
	But now it has become fashionable.
	Amongst the bloated academic class with the grievance industry and a media that revels in controversy has now become fashionable to deconstruct history in an effort to characterize Columbus and, to a certain extent, Western civilization itself as imperialistic and racist.
	Now, that's the very essence of it.
	This is not directed at Columbus.
	They don't know anything about Columbus.
	They don't know what his ethnicity was or what his personal life was about or any of that kind of stuff.
	This is about erasing Western civilization.
	This is about denouncing it as imperialistic and racist.
	You're an imperialist, you're racist, and we're going to deconstruct history.
	These are classic Marxist tactics.
	And it's amazing that even people who oppose this stuff can't see that.
	Can't see the origins of it.
	You know, all this anti-racism stuff.
	It's just a struggle session.
	Straight out of China. That's why, you know, an interview that I had with Xi Van Fleet, yeah, Xi Van Fleet said, I grew up with this in China.
	This is called a struggle session.
	You know, this is not anything new.
	This is recycled Marxism.
	All of this. You're an imperialist.
	You're a racist. We got to deconstruct history.
	Such criticisms would not be possible without the very values that rendered the West and Christianity unique at the time of Columbus' voyage, a belief in natural rights, a belief in equality, a belief in the human dignity of every individual, regardless of station.
	It is ironic, says the person.
	Well, no, it's not. It is a conspiracy.
	It is a Marxist-Communist conspiracy.
	Oh, I can't say that.
	It sounds like, you know, they've worked so hard.
	To make fun of that.
	You know, oh, a tinfoil hat conspiracy.
	You say that it's a communist conspiracy?
	I say that because it is.
	And that's one of the things these people do.
	They inoculate themselves against any criticism through mocking it or taking people who go too far and putting them up.
	Look at this, these crazy people.
	You know, just like in Dr. Strangelove where they've got General Jack D. Ripper.
	The guy who kicks the whole thing off, right?
	And he's going on and on.
	They're polluting my bodily fluids with this fluoridation of the water.
	Well, yeah. They really were.
	He was right about that.
	But, you know, that was to make fun of people who knew the truth about fluoride.
	And why you would not want to mass medicate people through the water supply.
	What's up with that? Anyway...
	This person correctly points out, Columbus the man is more complex than Columbus as a symbol of discovery and progress.
	You see, that's it. He is an icon of Western civilization.
	A symbol of discovery and of progress.
	That's why he must be torn down.
	By all accounts, he simultaneously sought the riches of previously undiscovered lands and the glory that such a discovery would convey upon him.
	And he also had a desire to spread the gospel of Christianity.
	But he also did a lot of horrible things as well.
	Very much like you and I, isn't it?
	There's no one righteous, not one.
	That's what we understand as Christians.
	So, if you want to destroy somebody, you go back and look through their past.
	But, you know, we have, as Christians, we understand that Christ erases that.
	We begin anew.
	And we understand there's an opportunity for change.
	We don't know what happened in all of Christopher Columbus' life.
	Did he perhaps change or repent of that?
	You know, you have people like David Berkowitz, Son of Sam killer.
	He grew up in a tremendously abusive society.
	He was part of a satanic cult.
	He murdered people, all the rest of the stuff.
	When he went to prison, he became a Christian.
	He's a completely different person.
	The David Berkowitz Son of Sam guy they locked up?
	Horrible. And I understand, you know, he has to live with the consequences of what he's done.
	We all have to live with the consequences of what we've done, right?
	King David, when he committed adultery with Bathsheba, then had her husband murdered.
	He had to live with the consequences of that all of his life.
	God cursed him. He said, you'll have nothing but war within your family.
	So God does not spare us the consequences.
	He wouldn't be a good father if he did.
	But that doesn't mean that that is where it ends.
	Because David talked about God's forgiveness and all of that.
	So, it'd be a shame if Americans today failed to celebrate a man that was so pivotal to the birth and the development of the United States.
	There is no greater despair for a proud people than to deny them their heroes, because that is exactly the agenda of the Marxist.
	That is a Marxist agenda, to deny our heroes, to deconstruct them.
	They gleefully take down, after they've done graffiti all over the statues of Robert E. Lee, perhaps one of the most honorable Americans that ever lived, After they graffiti that, they take it down, and then they have a ritual where they decapitate him, the statue, and then pass his head through the fire and videotaped it as they melted it.
	This, folks, is vindictive.
	It is calculated, and they're not destroying a statue.
	They're not destroying a man.
	They're out to destroy our civilization.
	This is not about the Italians.
	It's not about anything other than destroying our civilization.
	He is a symbol of that civilization.
	DG8, thank you for the tip.
	He says, David Bryan from High Impact Flicks is going to a Trump rally today and asking real questions of his supporters.
	He would make a great guest.
	God bless you and your family. I'll have to take a look at that.
	Thank you for the tip. We're going to take a quick break and we'll be right back
	Music playing...
	You're listening to The David Knight Show.
	Well...
	Well, the Satanic Temple has now opened a, quote, religious abortion clinic, and they are promoting what they call an abortion ritual.
	And I've said all along that when the left talks about a right to abortion, The way they spell it is R-I-T-E. It is a religious right increasingly to these people.
	The Satanic Temple opened a second telehealth abortion facility to provide what it describes as a quote religious abortion service.
	They see the killing of pre-born babies as part of this destructive ritual, as does the Democrat Party, quite frankly.
	And the group has claimed that abortion is part of the destruction ritual that serves as a protective right.
	You see, in the same sentence there, they tell you the same contradictory lies that the Democrats do.
	We're going to destroy this baby.
	At least they call it a destruction ritual instead of an abortion.
	But it is protective.
	It is protective of rights.
	R-I-T-E. The preparations for the ritual include reading or listening to the stories of people who advocated for legal abortion to subdue any stigmas that one might feel.
	Now, that's right. Sever your conscience with a hot iron.
	You're going to still feel guilt afterwards.
	Just as Stevie Nicks did with her song, Sarah, I talked about a couple weeks ago.
	Stay with me, Sarah. Stay for a while, right?
	You're not really gone.
	I know you're there, right?
	But I had to get rid of you because, you know, I have this wonderful career that I wanted to pursue.
	I had to kill my baby for that.
	That's satanic. While the satanic temple said that it hasn't partnered with any outside organizations to operate telehealth clinics, they do work with an online pharmacy called Honey Bee Health.
	They said our staff virtually meets with each patient.
	Over a series of online visits to ensure the safety of each patient.
	No, they don't. There's no medical exam.
	They're not doctors.
	They're not doing a medical exam to see if this is safe.
	And as I said from the very beginning, we talk about this abortion, chemical abortion by pill.
	It's imperative, even though it's now no longer required.
	But from a standpoint of not doing any harm, it is imperative to That you would do an examination to determine the size of the baby, how far it's along, and if there's any complications that can happen before you do that.
	They don't care about the health of the woman if they're not going to do an examination.
	And then they said, as a disclaimer, we urge each patient to know where their closest medical facility may be located in the unlikely event that complications may arise.
	Well, they're not unlikely.
	As I also pointed out a week or so ago, when you look at a study...
	That was recently done over the last few years.
	They have seen that critical emergency room visits from women who have had a chemical abortion via the pill, that those critical emergency room visits, these are really serious, have gone up by 4,000%.
	And if you look at overall for non-serious things, it's still gone up by 500%.
	But critical emergency room visits have gone up by 4000% for the women who have chemical abortions.
	And this is, if you remember the story, the story, the study, if you remember the study, what the study did was it looked at four different categories of women.
	How about women who are pregnant?
	How many emergency room visits did they have and how did that increase over a period of time?
	They looked at women who were not pregnant at all.
	How did their emergency room visits go up?
	Then they looked at two types of abortion, surgical abortion and chemical abortion.
	And the group that had the least increase in emergency room visits was the pregnant mothers, the ones who gave birth.
	Even less than the ones who were not pregnant.
	They actually had a higher increase in emergency room visits than the pregnant mothers did.
	And then, way above that were the surgical abortions, and way, way above the surgical abortions were the chemical abortions.
	So you want to tell people that it was an unlikely event, maybe?
	Well, of course, you know, the satanic temple, Satan is the father of lies.
	And so they're lying to you.
	So... No, they're not about women's health at all.
	Women who undergo an abortion pill regime might also experience several side effects.
	According to the Mayo Clinic, side effects of the abortion pill regime can include vaginal bleeding, sweating, vomiting, pain in various parts of the body.
	That doesn't even get close to it.
	And folks, by the way, when you look at pills and medication, don't go with the establishment descriptions of adverse effects like the Mayo Clinic.
	You can look a little bit farther and you can find a lot of comments from people who've actually used this stuff.
	And that's what you need to look at.
	Not from the people who are selling it.
	In March, an interview with Christian Post, Elizabeth Gillette said she ended up on the bathroom floor in a pool of blood.
	As a matter of fact, this is what Abby Johnson talked about as well.
	She worked for Planned Parenthood at one of their largest clinics in Houston.
	And they casually told her, yeah, you can have an abortion, take this pill.
	She said they had not told her anything about what was going to happen.
	She said, I thought I was going to die, come close to dying.
	Laying in a pool of blood and all the rest of the stuff, the pain, she said, was unbelievable.
	So this woman says, I found myself laying in a pool of blood after taking the abortion-inducing drugs.
	She shared her abortion story outside the U.S. Supreme Court during oral arguments for a case centered around oral abortions.
	The pill. About 14 years ago, she said she got the drugs from a Planned Parenthood facility in Oregon that has since closed.
	According to Gillette, what she experienced was, quote, far different from what Planned Parenthood had told her would happen.
	I ended up in a pool of blood on the bathroom floor, and I ended up holding the transparent amniotic sack with a recognizable baby inside.
	And I had to flush my baby.
	Nobody told me that this was even a possibility.
	They told me there would be some clotting.
	I thought I was going to die, and nobody cared.
	And because of what I went through, no woman should ever have to go through that.
	Women deserve the truth.
	You will not be given the truth by Planned Parenthood or by the Satanic Temple.
	They both serve the same master, who is the father of lies.
	And this is from Dissenter.
	They said, here's a legitimate question.
	How many abortions has Lala Harris had?
	Because it certainly appears to be a right to her.
	R-I-T-E. And this is always, abortion has been the backup plan for sex workers like Lala Harris.
	She took the pulpit at a North Carolina church to preach about, quote, doing justice and mercy.
	Unfortunately, instead of a faithful exegesis of Scripture, what the congregation received was a political sermon.
	She quoted from Micah 6.8, claiming that her faith is about doing justice, loving mercy, and walking humbly before God.
	Well, here's the deal.
	Come on, folks, here's the deal, as Joe Biden would say.
	It would be better for her maybe to preach from Psalm 3.
	Bind mercy and truth around your neck so you'll not forget.
	We don't want to have a situation where we're simply out there about mercy and understanding.
	And that's all right, you know, I understand, you know, this is where you're at and that type of thing.
	People need the truth as well.
	But we don't want to give them the truth without giving them mercy.
	You need to remember that.
	Maybe you need to tie it around your neck so that you don't forget that it's mercy and truth.
	Truth and mercy.
	But that's not what she's talking about.
	As he points out, the unelected Democratic presidential candidate who has consistently supported abortion at every stage...
	Invoked scripture to support what she portrays as a message of compassion and justice.
	Now, tell people the truth.
	And that's the sad thing, is that the Republicans won't do that.
	The Republicans won't give people the truth about abortion.
	Even when you look at J.D. Vance with Fox News, you have a woman who came after him about closing Planned Parenthood.
	And he's running from the truth of abortion.
	He really is. Anyway, what mercy is there in denying the unborn their most basic right to life?
	Is mercy covering up your sins so that it won't interfere with your political ambitions?
	I can't say, but the cognitive dissonance here is staggering.
	Claiming to love mercy while simultaneously championing the destruction of the most vulnerable among us.
	But this brings us to a deeper and even more troubling question about her personal rise to power.
	Many are aware of her long-standing romantic relationship in the 90s with Willie Brown.
	Was it romance or was it commerce?
	I think that's a little bit too polite.
	I think it was a commercial relationship with Willie Brown, an influential California politician.
	Brown, who was married at the time, appointed Harris to several political positions while their affair was ongoing.
	Let's stop calling it an affair.
	It was adultery. It was adulterating his marriage.
	Directly advancing her career, Brown himself has admitted as much, acknowledging that he helped to boost her into politics by placing her into these positions of influence.
	Yeah, it was definitely commerce.
	So we have a vice president who slept her way into power, says dissenter.
	And, again, maybe if she becomes president, maybe they could do a musical, The Best Little Whorehouse in D.C. Abortion, after all, is used as a method to hide the consequences of personal indiscretions.
	Yet we have evangelical leaders in the American church who actually support her because Trump, they say, is the immoral one.
	Folks, they're both immoral.
	And it is sheer hypocrisy, and I think it is a reproach to Christ to support either Lala or Donald Trump.
	How in the world do you get behind somebody like that and support them?
	When someone rises through the ranks riding on the backs of sexual favors, it should raise legitimate concerns about their broader moral framework.
	Well, what about if you rise through the ranks Touting the love of money, which is the root of all evil, which is what Trump did with The Apprentice.
	What if you rise through the ranks by parading your adultery to everybody?
	And not just divorcing your wives, but mocking them and publicly humiliating them as he did all the people who ever worked for him in his cabinet when you kicked them out the door.
	What about that? In Harris' case, her push for an unrestricted access to child murder aligns disturbingly well with a worldview that prioritizes personal ambition over ethical boundaries.
	Now, that doesn't apply to Trump as well?
	You see what I'm saying? It's a uni party, and both of these people are absolutely reprehensible.
	And it's not just that they're personally reprehensible.
	We were just talking about Christopher Columbus.
	You know, people say, well, you know, the left does not want to divorce the person and what, you know, Christopher Columbus has done or something.
	They don't want to divorce that from the person from the accomplishments that we're talking about, right?
	And of course, they don't really care about any of these morals.
	But the people on the right will play that game, and they will play that game in a partisan way.
	We're going to hold Lala responsible for what she's done, but not Trump.
	Is this simply a continuation of her selfish ambition and history of using whatever means necessary to preserve personal and political power?
	Well, again, could it be that the very policies that Harris advocates, especially her radical pro-abortion agenda, are influenced by her own history of compromise and of being a sex worker?
	And so then we have Fox News.
	That comes after J.D. Vance.
	And he's not really able to give an answer.
	You know, Fox News wants to know, you're going to defund Planned Parenthood?
	You can't defund Planned Parenthood.
	Party. And quickly, on Planned Parenthood, you guys have talked about defunding them, taking away government funding.
	They say that no U.S. taxpayer funding can fund to abortion, can flow to abortion at any stage.
	But they say they do hundreds of thousands of cancer screenings, birth control, which they say actually prevents another 500,000 abortions a year, and all kinds of other testing and medication, contraception.
	Where would those patients go if Planned Parenthood lost the funding?
	Well, Shannon, what we've said is that we don't want taxpayer funding for abortions.
	And that, of course, has been the bipartisan approach over 40 years in this country until, frankly, Kamala Harris came along.
	I know that Planned Parenthood does a lot of things that a lot of young women, a lot of young families need.
	No, they don't. We don't believe in taxpayer funding for abortions.
	That's been the policy, not just of the Republican Party, by the way, but even a lot of Democrats who are pro-choice, who want white access to abortion, will say, we don't think taxpayers should be funding this stuff.
	And that, again, that bipartisan consensus is something President Trump very much supports.
	Okay, so maybe not a full defunding of Planned Parenthood, per se, but anything that you would be able to potentially track, which they say doesn't happen, but to abortion.
	We have so many more questions.
	Yeah, okay. Which doesn't happen, but whatever.
	You know, she's as bad as Martha Raddatz.
	Worse, perhaps. Because Shana, without any shame, I don't know who she is.
	I don't watch Fox News. She's pushing the murder.
	Look, Fox News has always pushed this.
	As I said before, Matt Drudge told me that the reason he put that picture up of baby Samuel was because he knew that Fox would fire him for showing the humanity of a child.
	And they did. He said, I just wanted to get out of my contract.
	He didn't care. But he knew that Fox would fire him if he showed that a baby is a human being.
	Baby Samuel reaching up in that operation and grasping with its full hand the little finger of that surgeon, showing its humanity.
	And so, you have to understand that, of course, the funding that is being given to Planned Parenthood by Mike Johnson and the Republican Party, they continue to give funding to Planned Parenthood.
	Planned Parenthood says, okay, well, we won't do abortions without money.
	Yeah, right. The funding is fungible, right?
	You can't separate it.
	And so, what would happen?
	Here's what J.D. Vance had a great answer for Martha Raddatz.
	He had an awful answer for Fox News.
	They're afraid to talk about the fact that it's murder.
	They're afraid to talk about Planned Parenthood.
	What he should have said is, well, Shana, the money that is being given to Planned Parenthood to do women's health, quote unquote, if that's what it is, That money would be given to other organizations that would do the same thing.
	Planned Parenthood murders babies.
	Why are we giving them any money?
	They're claiming, well, I'm not using the money that you're giving me to murder babies.
	That's done by somebody else.
	It's a joke and everybody knows it.
	Why can't he say that?
	Why can't he say that?
	Well, if we're giving money to organizations for women's health, there'd be other organizations that'd be glad to start up a business and do this, right?
	Oh, no. Not going to say that.
	Like I said the other day, well, we bring this guy over from Kurdistan, the Democrats set him up in a yogurt, give him a yogurt factory, and then Michelle Obama says, and now we want, he makes Greek yogurt, now Michelle Obama says, and we want all the schools to sell Greek, you know, like I said before, you know, give me a chocolate factory and I'll be Willy Wonka.
	You give this money to Planned Parenthood?
	You don't need to give the money to Planned Parenthood.
	Anybody can do women's health.
	You don't need them for that.
	They're focused on, not on women's health, they're focused on infanticide.
	So, again, I'll never forget, it was about, well, it was back in, it was when Bush was running.
	And it was when he was running the first time, in 2000.
	And I got a church lady really upset with me.
	We were standing around after church, and somehow the election came up, and she says, is anybody here not going to vote for Bush?
	I said, I'm not.
	I'm voting for Harry Brown.
	I know Harry Brown. And I know who George Bush is, too.
	And I found out even more about George Bush later.
	But anyway, I said, no. How could you possibly vote for somebody that's not going to criminalize abortion or whatever, right?
	And so here's the difference between Harry Brown and George Bush.
	Harry Brown is not going to outlaw abortion.
	But what Harry Brown would do is he would stop, and I said, the presidents are not outlawing abortion anyway.
	Everybody's pretending they don't have the authority to do anything about Roe v.
	Wade. So I said, the president's not going to do anything about that.
	So what is George Bush doing?
	Well, George Bush, I said, is going to be like his father.
	He's going to continue to fund Planned Parenthood, just as Mike Johnson, the Christian House Speaker, is doing.
	They're going to continue to fund the murder of babies.
	I said, Harry Brown will stop it.
	Not because of his beliefs one way or the other about it, but because he doesn't think that the government ought to be funding things for which it has no authority.
	And so I said from a pragmatic standpoint, Harry Brown is far more pro-life than George Bush would ever claim to be.
	And yet we found out after George Bush got elected the second time, we found out in 2005, didn't we?
	What George Bush was really about with Terry Chavo.
	And we found out what his brother, Jeb, the governor of Florida, was really like with Terry Chavo.
	Not pro-life at all.
	And then later, I discovered that their grandfather had been there with Margaret Sanger, the abortionist, the eugenicist, who wanted to eradicate the black population.
	That Prescott Bush...
	It had been her treasurer. Then on her very first fundraising letter, he was on the letterhead as treasurer.
	And then I found out other things about the Bush family and how they supported Planned Parenthood.
	Look, the Republican support for pro-life, you better understand, is a facade.
	It's a lie. So Christians who don't vote are rebelling against God, says a megachurch pastor, Josh Howerton.
	Senior pastor of the multi-site Lake Point Church in Texas has warned that Christians who choose not to vote will be in passive rebellion against God.
	Is that right? So, as a Christian, he's telling me that I have to vote for politicians who are in active rebellion against God.
	I'm supposed to vote for them, or I'm in passive rebellion against God?
	You see, they are in active rebellion against God, not just in their personal lives.
	Which are like something straight out of eyes wide shut.
	All of them. Now, they're in open rebellion to God in their private lives.
	And they are in open rebellion to God in their policies as well.
	And I will not support...
	You can do whatever you want to.
	I'm not telling you how to vote.
	I'm telling you that I cannot, in good conscience, support any of these people.
	And that includes the people in Congress.
	Who, with their policies...
	Are an open rebellion to God.
	And a message to the congregation on October the 6th titled, How to Vote Like Jesus.
	Yeah, what would Jesus do?
	I think Jesus wouldn't vote.
	I think he'd grab a cord and beat these people when he comes back.
	Over the last 45 years, due to the misguided idea that churches and pastors, he said, should avoid politics and stay away from commenting on politics or political leaders.
	And of course, I would never advocate that.
	I don't stay away from it.
	I would not advocate that...
	That pastors and political leaders and churches should stay away from that.
	And that is all based on a lie that has been exposed.
	It was a bluff from the IRS. It began with Lyndon Johnson.
	They called it the Johnson Amendment.
	It's not an amendment to anything.
	It's not even a legitimate rule from the IRS. And when the IRS was called on it, they caved.
	It was a bluff from them.
	And you had people who called their bluff.
	And we have now seen...
	But he says, you know, think about all the people who spoke out.
	He says, you can't read the Bible about Moses, Daniel, Esther, Nathan, Nehemiah, John the Baptist, and think the church pastors should avoid dressing government.
	Well, you know what? If I point out the sins of Trump, as John the Baptist pointed out the sins of Herod, It's going to be the MAGA people who want my head on a platter.
	And it's going to be the megachurch pastors like this guy who want my head on a platter.
	Because I have the audacity to point out the sinful acts.
	He was talking about Herod's personal life.
	I'm talking about Trump's personal and political life and Lala Harris as well.
	It's their policies as well.
	He says what's happening right now is the church is not getting more political.
	Politics are getting more theological.
	Politics are getting more spiritual.
	I agree. He said when the government moved past things like building roads and issuing driver's licenses and teaching math to things like redefining marriage, erasing gender, reframing abortion as reproductive rights, and then using the government school system to indoctrinate everybody's kids into believing those things.
	He said the church didn't move.
	Politics did. I agree.
	See, the problem is, is that it's coming through what I call the seminaries of Satan.
	The government schools.
	Public schools are like public health.
	They're both Marxist totalitarian organizations designed to subjugate you to an unaccountable bureaucracy.
	The public schools are...
	Education is fundamentally...
	About spiritual matters.
	You see, that's the mistake.
	That's the blind side of the conservatives and Christians.
	They don't realize that from the very beginning, education has always been not about math.
	As Arl Dabney said, he said, you can teach somebody math and you can teach them a skill, a trade.
	They said, that's not education.
	That's an apprenticeship. You know, that is technical stuff.
	Education is about worldview.
	Education is about values.
	Education is about your religious perspective.
	It should never be turned over to the government.
	The First Amendment should prohibit all government schooling.
	And it's inevitable that it was going to go this way.
	You see, when you violate the principles of the Constitution and you start to merge church and state in the schools, then what you wind up with is what we have now.
	It's inevitable that you're going to have this.
	Education has always It's amazing that they didn't see it for so long.
	He says, and because the government is now engaged in spiritual and theological warfare, Christians need to arm themselves with Scripture and the Holy Spirit and fight back.
	He said, well, look, if you're not going to fight to end these government seminaries of Satan, if you're not going to fight back to end the government schools, if you're not going to fight hard enough to educate your own children or to take your church and to use it to help people Maybe a single family home or something.
	They need some help to educate these kids.
	Churches used to take that responsibility.
	They abdicated that to the government.
	If you're not going to fight that fight, if you can't fight to educate children, don't talk to me about checking a box on a piece of paper and thinking that you've done something.
	That's the most pathetic thing that's being sold to people, and that's being sold to people left and right by these so-called Christian leaders.
	Just amazing to hear this over and over again from these people.
	As a matter of fact, here's Kirk Cameron.
	And I agree with some of the stuff.
	And I've praised Kirk Cameron for taking the fight to the libraries or these drag queens storytime hours.
	It's an abomination. And he's done a good job with that.
	But here he is with Glenn Beck.
	And they're saying, you know, some Christians say, well, I'll just pray about this.
	And they don't want to vote. Glenn Beck says, that's insane.
	Is it? Is it really?
	You know, is that your view of prayer?
	That it's kind of useless?
	I mean, if you really want to get something done, you've got to do it yourself, right?
	God helps those who help themselves, right?
	That's not in the Bible at all.
	God helps those who look to Him.
	God helps those who trust Him.
	That's what's in the...
	And Kirk Cameron goes, yeah, you're right.
	It is insane. And it's immoral as well.
	It is not immoral to honor God and to glorify Him and to turn to Him first.
	I would much rather have your prayer than your money.
	Because I know that if I've got your prayer, God can provide whatever I need.
	These people denigrate God.
	They denigrate prayer, just as they do with Roe v.
	Wade. As I said before, Trump was surprised by what happened.
	Like every Republican president before him from Reagan on, he didn't expect the Supreme Court to overturn Roe v.
	Wade, and when it happened, he ran like mad away from it.
	To distance himself from it.
	He did a complete 180.
	He spun around so fast his toupee flew out.
	Here's Cameron and Glenn Beck, the pseudo-Christian.
	There's a lot of Christians that'll say, I'm just going to pray.
	I'm not even going to vote.
	Yeah. That, to me, is insane.
	I think it's insane, and I think it's immoral when you think about it.
	And I don't want to say this.
	This is not a smackdown.
	I wrestle through all these things myself, and I get it.
	People don't want to vote between the lesser of two evils, or they say, I don't want to hitch my truck to that guy or that girl.
	But at the end of the day, We have been given the great privilege that people in North Korea don't have.
	We get to legally vote to select our representatives.
	that the worst of the two options has one less vote to get to get into power to just destroy the future for our children. So we've got to go with, we're always, last time I checked Jesus wasn't on the ballot, and so we're always going to be voting for one of two broken people, and nobody's perfect. Their policies are broken too.
	We've got to go with the best option that we have available to us, knowing that the president can't fix the problem anyway.
	Yes. Ah, now he's getting to the truth.
	So why did he bring this up?
	The guys that are doing in Asheville what FEMA is not doing.
	The first responders need to be moms and dads building culture in their homes, and then the executive branch can provide some air cover.
	Right. If they're doing their job to keep the evil away so we can do the good from the inside out.
	And that's where the vote comes in.
	Yes. You need the air cover.
	Right. We need the Iron Dome.
	We need the F-15.
	Correct. We need that branch.
	Correct. And if you don't...
	You understand the problem here?
	The air cover. Well, we need that president there.
	He's going to give us the Iron Dome.
	He's going to give us the air cover.
	No, that's God that you pray to that they denigrated.
	They said, that's insane. That's immoral to just do that.
	Your air cover is coming from our Heavenly Father.
	That's where your air cover is coming from, folks.
	You do what you have to do, and you leave the consequences to God.
	You don't say, well, you know, I would do the right thing, but you heard Kirk Cameron say, well, I understand people say, I don't want to hitch my wagon to that guy or that girl.
	It's called unequally yoked, isn't it?
	Why are we hitching the name of Jesus Christ to Donald Trump?
	Nobody's doing it well. Some people are doing it even with Lala.
	That's a reproach to his name.
	And it is hypocrisy for your message to do that.
	You should not be hitching your wagon to these people.
	You should not be yoking yourself to them.
	If you want to go vote for them in the booth, go vote for them.
	But keep quiet about it, okay?
	Don't go out there and tell people you have an obligation to vote for these people.
	Do you think that voting for evil is a means of spiritual warfare?
	You really do? Well, you're right, but not in the way that you think.
	You're being owned in this spiritual warfare.
	If you have accepted that compromise, if you think that the end justifies the means, That's not Christian.
	That's communist. Christians don't ever say that.
	People who tell you about 4D chess being played by Trump will tell you that type of thing.
	That is not a Christian.
	The Christian thing is you follow Christ, you leave the consequences to him.
	It isn't an end justifies the means.
	Because look, when you're doing this kind of stuff, right?
	I've talked so long about Solzhenitsyn and his essay.
	Do not live by lies.
	And what these people are doing is they're telling you, it's okay.
	It's going to be, you know, this is a better solution.
	This is a good solution even.
	Oh, Donald Trump, he's chosen of God.
	All the rest of this stuff. They are lying to themselves.
	They are living by that lie.
	Don't you live by those lies.
	These people have completely bought into this lie.
	And they want to sell that lie to you just like they sold you the lies about the vaccines.
	And there's absolutely no way that I will hitch my wagon to mass murderers.
	Mass murderers.
	And they are mass murderers.
	Only if you look even at the warp speed vaccine.
	They're mass murderers.
	And they allowed this mass murder to happen with money.
	They were paid to do it.
	They're paid off by the pharmaceutical companies.
	The pharmaceutical companies bought influence with Trump during the transition period.
	I've talked about that many times.
	He goes on to say, when Christians do not vote, what they're doing is they're abdicating their leadership position in the Constitutional Republic.
	See, that's one of the greatest lies.
	Do you really think that voting is leadership?
	Or is it lemon?
	Lemmingship is what it is, right?
	Lemons who are running off the edge of the...
	You're not leading anybody when you're voting.
	You're not doing something when you're voting.
	You're doing something when you raise your kids yourself.
	You're doing something when you engage in your community with your community.
	When you work in your life.
	But you're not doing anything by voting.
	Well, we're going to leave it at that.
	We have a guest who is ready to join us, and we want to talk about what is happening with the climate MacGuffin.
	And he's written a book about that.
	Atomic Dog, thank you for this reminder.
	Please help David Knight expose government ineptitude by liking the video, sharing on social media, and subscribing.
	By the way, I meant to put it in the link I was going to show this.
	I had a friend who listens to the show, and he took a screen.
	He said, I think Rumble is messing with you.
	He said, you know, you have over a thousand people watching, and you ask people to like this.
	And he said, here we are at the midpoint of the broadcast, and Rumble shows you got one like.
	And I've had people contact me and say, well, I looked at this and the number of likes went down.
	I don't trust any of these things.
	So it's up to you. You can like it there.
	You can share it. That's one thing that you can do that they can't undo, I guess.
	But they can mute that, I guess, on some social media platforms.
	But please do what you can to try to give the broadcast some exposure.
	And a couple of comments and tips from DGA. Thank you.
	He says, David, these people... Can't help but say it's godly to choose the lesser of two evils.
	That's insane. 36 years ago, the people of Kentucky chose the lesser of two evils.
	Mitch McConnell, how is that working out for us?
	Yeah, exactly. David Trump said he wanted to be the most pro-LGBT president in history.
	But it's your Christian duty to vote for that.
	Okay? And he was proud of the fact they came in supporting homosexual marriage.
	But that's your duty to vote for that.
	Says Glenn Beck. And, shamefully, Kirk Cameron.
	I disagree on that. I like some stuff that Kirk Cameron does.
	I don't have anything good to say about Glenn Beck, but I do have a lot of good to say about Kirk Cameron.
	I think he's wrong on this issue.
	Very wrong on this issue.
	Trump said six weeks is not enough time to get an abortion.
	And we have no moral expectations of Kami Lala.
	That's absolutely right. Well, we're going to take a quick break, and we'll be right back with our guest.
	Stay with us.
	Stay with us.
	The Last Goodbye
	you you
	Thank you. Defending
	the American Dream.
	You're listening to The David Knight Show.
	Is Gregory Wrightstone, and he is a very experienced person in terms of science, actual science.
	Talking about climate change, he is a geologist with more than 35 years of experience researching and studying various aspects of the Earth's processes.
	He was recently accepted as an expert reviewer for the UNIPCC, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, and I'll have to ask him about that.
	Maybe he is somebody kind of like Scott Atlas on the COVID team.
	I'm a lone dissenter. Great to have you on.
	Thank you for joining us, Gregory Wrightstone.
	Thank you so much, David.
	Actually, for the new book, my birthday was last week, and I woke up on my birthday and went to the computer, and lo and behold, a very convenient warming, my newest book, was at number one bestseller on Amazon.
	Wow. What a birthday gift.
	I couldn't have asked for anything better.
	That's great. My first book was a regular there.
	We're trying to get the word out.
	I'm also executive director of the CO2 Coalition, which is the preeminent scientific organization of skeptical scientists.
	We have physicists, I'm a geologist, energy experts, and the like.
	And they all believe, as I do, that CO2 is beneficial by a lot.
	It's hugely beneficial.
	And there is no climate crisis.
	And we should celebrate how Earth's ecosystems are thriving and prospering.
	Well, I agree 100% with that.
	And yeah, this stuff about carbon sequestration is just the most astounding thing I have ever seen.
	But again, that website is co2coalition.org.
	And we'll talk a little bit more about that as well.
	But what we're seeing in the news, and you've experienced a little bit of this as well, they have all seized upon these hurricanes as climate change.
	Tell us a little bit about what you've been going through there in Florida.
	You're in Florida. Well, Well, I've been pointing out, I use science facts and data to support my stances and my narrative, and it flies in the face of most of what you're hearing on the media, mainstream media.
	And in hurricanes, I've been tested.
	My beliefs that climate changes and driving hurricanes have been tested in the last two weeks, but I still came through and I'm looking, I'm relying on my scientific work To dispute a man-made driven climate crisis.
	My home is at Apollo Beach, about 12 miles south of Tampa.
	And if you recall, a day and a half or two days before landfall, it was at a Cat 5.
	And man, my home was right in the crosshairs.
	And we looked, even some of the seasoned old salts in the area, they looked at it and they said, man, we're bailing out.
	We've never left before.
	It looked bad. And because it was going to hit it.
	But our experts in the CO2 coalition were saying, no, no, no, no, no.
	It's going to land as a Category 2, maybe Category 3.
	This is what's going to happen.
	And they also predicted that there would be no, instead of a storm surge at Tampa, they told me, no, we saw it at Ann.
	And when Ann struck, this would be about to be similar, there will actually be a negative surge.
	In other words, it would suck water out of the bay.
	And that's exactly what they found.
	So we bailed out.
	We'd been hit the week before by Helene.
	We escaped any flooding, but the area around us was hit pretty hard.
	Our bookkeeper's home was devastated.
	We actually did a GoFundMe campaign for her and raised $33,000 in two days.
	And what a blessing that was to her.
	She says, You guys came through, and you're brightening and making this so much more bearable.
	We can't help everybody, but we helped her.
	But we made what seemed to be a reasonable decision, instead of fleeing north, but to go southeast to the other side of the state.
	We went to Vero Beach, a condo of a friend.
	And if you may recall, we couldn't have chosen a worse place to evacuate to in the United States or probably the world.
	It was this huge super storm cell at about 4 p.m.
	came through our area.
	It was giant. It was gnarly.
	And it was... It was scary, and the tornadoes hit.
	And the tornado near us went right up along Highway A1A. If you're a Jimmy Buffett fan, you know Highway A1A. And it's right up about a two-mile swath of that.
	It actually hit the condo that was next to us.
	I was doing a live video interview with another host at the time.
	And there's like alarms going off, lightning, lights are flashing.
	He said, this is great!
	I mean, you'll never have another interview like that, you know, with his guest.
	In the middle of being hit by a tornado in a hurricane.
	But bear in mind, that tornado hit at 430.
	The landfall didn't occur until 830, four hours later.
	So this preceded that.
	But again, I took a look In our newsletter for the CO2 Coalition, go to co2coalition.org to subscribe.
	You'll love it. I give some more detail.
	We're having a newsletter go out today about my experience.
	We also have information.
	I took a look at Land-falling hurricanes, and that's the best measure.
	If you want to look at long-term hurricane information, land-falling hurricanes from the United States are the best, because we can take that confidently.
	We know every single hurricane that's made landfall in the United States going back to at least 1850, and that's because they're so big you can't miss it.
	Right? We know.
	They made landfall. It's been recorded.
	And so if we look at landfalling hurricanes, we find in the United States they've been in decline.
	I looked at Florida landfalling hurricanes, and they've also been in decline.
	So that's a pretty good metric.
	And the other thing they're saying is that...
	Hurricane intensity is increasing.
	That's not borne out by the evidence.
	If you look at the global accumulated cyclone energy that Ryan Maui and the NOAA do, that's basically an estimate of the intensity of the hurricanes, which translates to wind speed.
	And it's been pretty flat.
	You could probably argue there's been a slight decline, but there's definitely been not a significant trend either up or down.
	In fact, Christopher Landsee, and what a great name.
	He's a NOAA hurricane expert.
	What a great name for a hurricane expert.
	Christopher Landsee is almost as good as a geologist with the last name of Wrightstone.
	Christopher Lansing, one of his last, he left, he told the truth about hurricanes.
	His last analysis said, well, maybe hurricane intensity is increasing by maybe 1%.
	Okay, well, let me ask you, David, if you were standing on Siesta Key, could you tell the difference between 102 and 103 miles per hour?
	No. I don't think so.
	Okay, let's say he's right.
	It's so little, then it's meaningless.
	Yeah, and can they measure that?
	But you see this panic everywhere.
	In the UK, the Express, one person says, well, maybe I slept through this, but the headlines, StormTracker map shows a path of Hurricane Kirk with a monster 75-mile-an-hour gales to batter Britain, and it is just filled with over-the-top bombs We're good to go.
	Can they even measure that? As you said, you can't feel it.
	Can they really accurately measure that and record it, comparing it to the types of measurements that they had a century ago?
	Were they accurate, even if they're accurate today?
	So we don't know that, right?
	Yeah, and it's all about creating a climate of fear.
	They have to create two words I'm going to use here, fear and control.
	They need to establish a climate of fear.
	They need you and your viewers to say, Oh, no.
	It's a climate catastrophe and it's our fault.
	Millions will die.
	There's a climate crisis.
	We'll have crop failure, pestilence, and mass depopulation because of man-made global warming.
	So they have to establish this climate of fear because they're an object.
	Really, what their proposals are, is to control every aspect of your life.
	That's right. They want to control how much water comes out of your shower, what kind of car you drive, how you heat your home, how cool you keep it in the summer, and how hot you warm it in the winter.
	We could go on and on and on.
	And what you eat. I mean, all that.
	They're shutting down farms now.
	The EPA is going to start shutting down farms with us.
	It is absolutely amazing, and we understand that that's what the real purpose of all this stuff is.
	And they have a lot of different things that they throw out there, always with the same thing in mind.
	That's why I refer to it as MacGuffin.
	It doesn't really matter what the thing is, but it's about creating the fear so that you can bring in these controls and it's always the same controls that we want to bring in.
	Those same people, aren't they so proud that we support choice?
	I support choice.
	Well, no, they don't.
	I would like to choose what kind of car to drive.
	I would like to choose what kind of dishwasher to buy.
	I'd like to choose all those things, and they don't want to give you that choice, do they?
	It's fear and control.
	Why else would we voluntarily give up We're good to go.
	In that book, we established pretty clearly that there is no climate crisis, but we've gone a step further in this new book and with the CO2 Coalition, is not only is there not a climate crisis, but by almost every metric we look at, Earth's ecosystems are thriving and prospering, and humanity is benefiting from that.
	You have a Christian show here, and this really goes back to the heart of...
	If we were going to kill hundreds of millions of people, we should do something about it.
	But just the opposite is occurring.
	What we're seeing are huge benefits to humanity and their solutions, particularly in the developing world in India, Asia, and Africa.
	They don't want to lift these people out of poverty by using affordable, abundant, reliable energy that can be derived from natural gas and coal.
	They want to keep them with their thumb down and don't let them prosper.
	And that's what they want to do to us as well.
	You've now got the EPA is focused now on shutting down power plants.
	And of course, they've been shutting them down for a while now because, oh, well, can't have coal or whatever.
	But the EPA has come after them now with a vengeance with their emissions and so forth.
	And so as they shut down the grid and they need more power for the AI, so they're going to put these small nuclear reactors out there, but it's only going to be power for them.
	They're going to shut down affordable, reliable energy for us.
	And that really is the concern.
	And that really is the agenda, I think.
	That is control and impoverish and austerity.
	That really is the way that they can control us is through poverty.
	It is. And you had two of the three words I used for electricity, what we should look for.
	It's affordable, reliable, and abundant.
	In other words, we can get a big bang for our buck.
	And that's what we get with nuclear as well.
	Nuclear, coal, natural gas.
	And again, since we are not We're going into a climate crisis that's driven by CO2, but rather CO2 is beneficial.
	There's no way we should be trying to do carbon capture or do carbon mitigation strategies.
	We're actually hurting ourselves.
	And the other thing that's really interesting is one of my pet...
	This section of the book is one of my favorite things to talk about is the strong relationship between human history and climate history to find that it's completely opposite of what we're being told.
	We're being told, oh, we must fear the heat.
	The heat will cause terrible things.
	Well, look back over the last several thousand years to see what happened and find that we are in a warming trend, but it's been warming for more than 300 years.
	There were three other warming trends similar to what we're in right now, but all three were hotter, ended up warmer than what we are today.
	And all three were hugely beneficial in improvements we saw to the human condition during each one of those warm periods.
	Life was good. Food was bountiful.
	The great empires and civilizations rose up.
	The first of those was the Bronze Age.
	It was called the Minoan Warm Period.
	The first great civilizations rose up.
	The Assyrians, the Hittites, the Babylonians, the Harappan Empire in the Indus River Valley.
	All those great civilizations around the world rose up during a really, really warm time, and then it started getting cold.
	And really bad things happen in each one of the times when it started getting cold.
	And we see these cold periods are associated with famine, crop failure, pestilence, and mass depopulation.
	And so that led to the Greek Dark Ages, and it really didn't get good until we got into the Roman warm period, the time of Christ.
	At that time, Again, food was bountiful.
	Life was good. North Africa was the breadbasket.
	You may not be aware of the Roman army.
	It's not much of a breadbasket today.
	So it then, when it started getting cold again, there were a lot of reasons for the Roman Empire's fall.
	Cold was probably a contributing factor, and that led to what was called the Dark Ages.
	And then the Medieval War period was, again, Life was good.
	Empires arose.
	Food was bountiful.
	And then that led to the recent cooling period called the Little Ice Age.
	It was probably the coldest time of the last 10,000 years.
	And it was, again, maybe 50% of Iceland perished during that time.
	One third of the population of the Earth perished during that time.
	And particularly Northern Europe, we have a lot of great records of just how terrible it was.
	Recall Valley Forge in George Washington.
	It was very cold.
	For example, not far from where I am right now is Mount Vernon.
	And George, when they lived there, during this little ice age that was really cold, Martha liked to enjoy ice in her drinks in the summer.
	So George built I mean, I think in the 80s there was one winter where it did that.
	So we can use historical data like that.
	People understand that.
	go, oh yeah, if the Potomac River was freezing solid, nearly solid every winter and it only happens once every 30 years now, well, it had to be a lot colder then. And we can use that same historical data to show how warm it was during the medieval warm time period, the Roman warming period and so much more. But again, history teller, they would call me a science denier,
	but I would call them history deniers because they're denying history shows conclusively that warm is much, much better than cold.
	So we should welcome your warmth and fear the cold.
	And of course, it cycles through there.
	And especially if you've got a Roman toga, those drafts can get really bad, you know.
	There's a reason they wore togas.
	There's a reason they wore togas.
	Yeah, Washington caught a cold riding around, and that was, well, I don't know if that was what killed him.
	It might have been the bleeding and the mercury that they gave him, but that brought it all on.
	Talk a little bit about what happens, you know, because part of what we're seeing now Tunga Tunga Yeah,
	that's it. A water volcano.
	And that puts up water vapor.
	That has a warming effect.
	If it's a land volcano, that has a cooling effect.
	We have so many natural processes that have amazing and direct influence.
	You know, we're talking about solar activity or we're talking about volcanic activity.
	Talk a little bit about that.
	It's not all man-made.
	What's happening, right? Yeah.
	Well, the increase in CO2 is man-made for the most part.
	The vast majority is from us using fossil fuels, but I'm okay with that.
	I'm okay with a large carbon footprint because what we're seeing is CO2 is beneficial.
	We have a paper that I'm finalizing right now.
	It's actually a lengthy 92-page summary, but it's highly detailed science, and we use seven different lines of evidence To verify and conclude that the increase in CO2 of 50% since the Industrial Revolution is for man.
	There are some people out there saying it's not, but we're emitting huge amounts of CO2 into the atmosphere.
	If you do that, it's got to increase atmospheric CO2. We have that.
	I started rambling on.
	I forgot the original question you asked.
	Well, I was talking about natural processes in terms of changing the climate and that type of thing.
	There are also some false things out there that are being spread.
	One is that volcanoes provide huge amounts of CO2. There's one report that Mount Pinatubo When it erupted, it put out more CO2 during the eruption than man's ever emitted.
	That's just categorically false because we know how much CO2 was emitted by man that year.
	I think it was 1991. We also know pretty closely how much CO2 was put out by Pinatubo.
	And it turns out that that eruption put out two-tenths of CO2 The percent of the CO2 emitted that year, of man's CO2. So it's a small contribution.
	That gets a lot of play.
	They try and downplay our contribution to CO2. Well, what I was talking about was the ejection of material into the upper atmosphere, which would be a cooling thing.
	A lot of people think that there are two types of volcanoes.
	One's explosive. Mount St.
	Helens, Pinatubo.
	The other type is called effusive volcanoes, which just kind of flows out.
	Think of Kilauea. We see that a lot.
	Some of the eruptions at Iceland, these are big, huge lava flows.
	And those tend to put out more CO2 than the explosive volcanoes.
	And some of these... There were two huge lava flows that were effusive.
	One was called the Deccan traps.
	The other was the Siberian traps.
	These volcanoes flowed for millions of years and were emitting CO2 for millions of years and probably contribute a fair amount of CO2 to the atmosphere.
	These explosive volcanoes do not.
	And also, the explosive volcanoes, it's not the solids.
	You think, well, it's going to block out the sun.
	That falls out pretty quickly.
	It's the aerosols and the sulfates to get up into the stratosphere that lasts for three, four, five years.
	It has a cooling effect because what they're doing is the sun's reflecting off of those so it doesn't get to strike the earth and have that warming effect.
	And then when we talk about the undersea volcano, the one that you mentioned, again, I can't remember the name, Tonga or something.
	Tonga, Tonga. Tonga, yeah.
	Okay. Well, that one, you know, another greenhouse gas, of course, the big one, is water vapor.
	And if that increases the water vapor by significant percentages in that one, that's going to also affect things.
	My point is that, you know, when you have solar activity, when you have something that is going to massively increase greenhouse gases like water vapor, you know, there's so many things that are natural out there.
	But they want to make it as everything is about man-made, right?
	Do you agree with that or do you disagree with that?
	Oh, yeah. Let's be clear.
	Since CO2 is a greenhouse gas, CO2 is increasing.
	So more CO2 has a contribution, has a warming effect on the atmosphere.
	It's just very small, very modest, and overwhelmed by those natural forces.
	So don't be a denier.
	Yes, CO2 has a warming effect, thankfully.
	But again, it's overwhelmed by these natural forces.
	And we've seen through time that CO2 increases and decreases do not control temperature.
	Just going back through Earth's history to the dawn of time, we don't see correlation there.
	And so we have to look at the science effects and the data, put it in a long perspective to figure that out.
	And, you know, your book title harkens back to Al Gore's documentary, An Inconvenient Truth.
	Your book is A Very Convenient Warming.
	And as part of his documentary, I guess we could laughingly refer to it as, but as part of his film, let's just say, It played a very big role.
	I remember that he had the projections of what was going to happen to temperature driven and following exactly CO2. As you point out, CO2 is going up and down.
	But that direct correlation that was there, the hockey stick from Michael Mann, as everybody talks about it, he had that blown up into something that was about 30 feet tall and he gets on it.
	On an elevated platform to go up to exaggerate that.
	And that really has, Michael Mann's correlation there of his hockey stick thing really hasn't played out, has it?
	Well, let's talk about Al Gore.
	He used 800,000 or 400,000 years of CO2 versus temperature.
	Well, there is a really good correlation over the last several hundred thousand years, but it's not CO2 driving temperature.
	It's temperature-driving CO2 changes.
	And that's because the oceans are the great sink and source for CO2. A cold ocean absorbs more CO2. A warm ocean expels it.
	Just think about it. It's kind of contrary to what you might say.
	If you take a liter jar of ginger ale and take it out of the refrigerator and open it up, it just goes...
	But take that liter jar of ginger ale and put it out on your picnic table on your patio in the sun in August.
	Let it sit there for an hour and then go open it up.
	And man, it'll be like a volcano with that CO2 that's in the ginger ale that's being expelled because it's warm.
	And that's what we see.
	Warming oceans expel CO2. And so it warms first and then CO2 increases.
	And it's delayed by hundreds of years.
	But if you compress at all, which Al Gore did, his interpretation was just backwards of what it should have been.
	It's not CO2 driving temperature.
	It's temperature driving CO2. That's interesting.
	Yeah, I was involved with a group that tried to get the data from Michael Mann.
	He fought like a banshee and was able to win in court and not show the data, which had already, his conclusions had already been published.
	He'd collected it. He'd done the science at the University of Virginia.
	So he did it on the public dime, and he'd published his conclusions, and they'd been used to create public policy, and yet could not pry that data from him.
	And you have to wonder why.
	Yeah. If he's got it, if it's real, why?
	He's a piece of work.
	He's a nasty, foolish person, and he's very litigious.
	Yes, we have to be careful what we say about Michael Mann, because we know what he is.
	I was quoting someone else there when I just called him Nasty.
	That was a quote.
	We know from Mark Stein is the best...
	He lost in court to Michael Mann, got a $1 million judgment against him.
	But Mark Stein said that the hockey stick is a reconstruction of temperature using proxies with two problems, the proxies and the reconstruction.
	He said, other than that, you can take it to the bank.
	So what he did, he used just...
	Proxies are things we use for...
	Temperature reconstruction or CO2 reconstruction back before historical records.
	And Michael Mann used some really, really horrifically bad proxies to reconstruct temperature.
	And like you say, according to him, we had a slowly declining temperature up until about the 20th century.
	And then, man, it just took off.
	The temperatures skyrocketed.
	And again, he based...
	That and his reconstruction on just bad, bad, bad proxies, particularly triggering data in the southwest of the United States.
	That's right. Pick your starting and your ending points carefully there, don't you?
	But he was also involved in ClimateGate.
	the group that I was working with, because he was, even though that was kind of focused in the UK at East Anglia University, he was involved back and forth with emails where they were talking about, we've got to hide the decline based on our models.
	And that's the other thing about this.
	How did these people get a pass for making all these predictions?
	You were talking earlier about the scientists that were affiliated with the CO2 coalition.org, and how they were pretty accurate in terms of what they thought would happen with the hurricane, even the sense that the storm surge is going to be negative because it was going to land somewhere else.
	And so, you know, we have those types of things and if somebody can make a prediction and it comes true, but we have these grand predictions that are kind of like trying to predict the weather 50 years in advance and they're hysterically wrong, you know, whatever they're predicting where they're talking about the Great Barrier Reef disappearing, whatever it is, they keep making these predictions and yet they never seem to be held accountable for making these false predictions with their models.
	Exactly, go back to May of this year and see what NOVA was predicting for this year's hurricane season.
	They were predicting one of the highest number of storms ever in record.
	Well, now it feels particularly for me and my wife that it's been a bad hurricane season, but we're actually under the average for the hurricanes.
	And we may get to the very low end of what Noah predicted, but they're never called on the carpet for that.
	Yeah, DeSantis made that case to a journalist, and I had talked about that.
	I said, you know, when you look at the hurricanes that hit Tampa, there was one in 1848, took exactly the path that they were predicting, which this one did not take that path, but they had one that had actually taken that path in 1848.
	And then in North Carolina, in Asheville in 1921, they also had a hurricane that went up there and caused just about the kind of same level of destruction in terms of water accumulation and that type of thing.
	I hesitate to use the word flood because if you say flood, the insurance companies won't pay them anything.
	So we have to... Come up with some other name for what happened.
	It's rain. So it had that kind of rain.
	But we've seen this type of stuff, so it's not unprecedented.
	And these were situations that happened.
	There wasn't really any man-made industry that was doing that 100 years ago, 150 years ago.
	So, you know, that is the background.
	But no matter what they say, they're never held accountable to it.
	And no matter how dire and false their predictions are, it just keeps going.
	It must be an interesting thing to work with the UNIPCC because of that.
	Tell us a little bit about that.
	Well, I actually got in on that at the very end, and there was very little I could contribute or do at that time.
	And I signed up, was accepted, and then I joined the CO2 Coalition as Executive Director, and I've been just...
	You've got to set your priorities, and this is leading this group of eminent scientists.
	We just had John Clouser join us on our board.
	He's the 2022 Nobel laureate in physics.
	We've got Patrick Moore on our board, who's the co-founder of Greenpeace.
	He's wonderful. Dr.
	William Happer, emeritus professor of physics from Princeton, and he's the He was the inventor of the Soviet, yes, Soviet, sodium guide star laser developed during the Star Wars under Reagan.
	And if you remember SDI, Star Wars, they were trying to shoot down incoming missiles from the Soviet Union and intercept them in space using lasers, but they couldn't figure out how to do it because it was Will Happer, our chairman, that Invented this ability to keep lasers focused through the atmosphere.
	And now his invention is used at every observatory around the world to get crystal clear nighttime images.
	If you ever see an observatory with a yellow beam going up from it, that's his sodium guide star laser that are used to figure out what's going on in the atmosphere.
	So they get crystal clear photographs.
	So these are the type of...
	The scientists that we have, they're incredible.
	It's great. And we stick to the science.
	Yeah. And it's essential because if they're going to keep us afraid of the unknown, and if they're going to say, as we saw throughout all this COVID stuff, I'm the expert, and science is what I say it is.
	You know, that is the antithesis of science.
	That's what, as I say often...
	They promote consensus science.
	That's the big thing. And it's, as Michael Creighton famously said, if it's science, it's not consensus.
	If it's consensus, it's not science.
	And Richard Feynman, the great physicist, my favorite quote about consensus, he says, I would rather have questions that can't be answered than answers that can't be questioned.
	And that's what we have today in climate science.
	They tell us what the answer is, and you dare not question it.
	You must not. And they need to silence me and my colleagues at the CO2 Coalition.
	We've seen that first with climate, and then we saw it with the COVID stuff and with medications, and now it's everything.
	You know, anything, they will tell you what is true, and you cannot question that.
	And so that's the attack that we see on free speech that's happening everywhere.
	But it's now flowing out everywhere, but it began with the climate stuff.
	If we have time here, just to delve in.
	One of the proudest things, we're doing scientific papers and we do the technical material, but we also, our members were concerned about the state of science education in America, and we decided to do something about it and put a committee of mostly PhDs together, and what they've done is incredible.
	I ended up hiring a full-time artist Talented artist, Thiago Hellinger da Silva down in Brazil.
	We're creating books, we're creating videos that are attractive to children and students.
	But most importantly, we're also doing lesson plans for homeschooling parents in charter schools.
	And they're not just a lesson plan.
	It's rare.
	We actually have a scientist doing that, Dr.
	Sharon Camp. She's a PhD in analytic chemistry.
	She's an AP science teacher and reader.
	And so this is science-based, totally vetted, the lesson plans.
	We've completed the first series of book.
	I've just authored the first of the next series.
	We call it the Sleep Well Series.
	You're going to love this. So the title is Chloe the Clownfish Sleeps Well at Night.
	And it's marvelous.
	And the art is fantastic.
	It's about Chloe that lives on the Great Barrier Reef, and she's told at school that the Great Barrier Reef in her home was going to be destroyed because of man's climate change.
	We're able to use that story in an entertaining method to put out the facts about what's actually happening with corals in the Great Barrier Reef.
	And I was joined as a co-author, Dr.
	Peter Ridd, who's one of the top Coral and Great Barrier Reef experts collaborated with me on this.
	So we have top scientists that work together to make sure we get the story right.
	But we're getting the nose under the camel's tent by getting this really interesting material out there.
	Oh, that's great. Yeah, that's one of their big failed predictions was the Great Barrier Reef.
	Before we get off of that, I'd like to give the website of ours.
	It's co2learningcenter.com, co2learningcenter.com.
	You can go get our books for qualifying homeschool organizations or charter schools.
	We've just brought in a shipment of CO2 meters.
	That we actually give to qualifying, at no charge to qualifying schools and homes and teachers.
	Because some of our lesson plans involve experiments that require a CO2 meter.
	And, you know, a lot of these people, they don't want to spend $140 for a CO2 meter.
	So we've done it for them.
	And this is our mission.
	Our mission is to provide...
	Facts, science, data, and now our mission, too, is to provide that information to students.
	And particularly the homeschool parents and all three of my grandchildren are homeschooled, and it's important.
	They love to use this information.
	So co2learningcenter.com.
	That's great. co2learningcenter.com.
	Yeah, if you don't want to be a clownfish, be careful the school that you hang out with, right?
	So, yeah, it's wonderful that you seized on that, because that is really the key.
	You know, you say Chloe sleeps well at night.
	Well, that's the problem.
	They are scaring these kids to death.
	They think that they've got no future, that the world is going to end because of CO2 emissions, and it is absolute insanity.
	And, of course, the only way that you're going to stop CO2 emissions is to starve us to death and kill all the people, but I think that might be what they're trying to do.
	Yeah, there is that.
	Yeah, there is that.
	It certainly is amazing. Well, it's fascinating to talk to you.
	Again, Gregory Wrightstone, and the book is A Very Convenient Warming, at the top of the list on Amazon.
	And I've got a couple of comments here, Brian and Deb McCartney.
	Can you ask if he has heard of the Just Transition Task Force?
	I'm attending another meeting in northern Minnesota this evening regarding the killing of coal-fired power.
	So it's the Just, J-U-S-T, Transition Task Force.
	Have you heard anything about that? I haven't.
	I don't like the word transition.
	Yeah. It's transition.
	I'm not talking about transition of energy.
	And it's why should we transition away from something that's worked wonderfully, that's lifted big, That's right.
	We lost your audio.
	I don't know if you can still hear me or not. Something happened there.
	I still don't have it.
	There we are. Oh, okay. Now we're back.
	Now we're back. Okay, good. That's good.
	Darn gremlins. Why should we transition away from reliable, abundant, affordable energy to unreliable, I like to let the free market decide, and the free market will tell you that it's coal, it's natural gas, and maybe nuclear for our electricity needs.
	Yeah, it is interesting, isn't it?
	You know, and I think that they were talking about that.
	I think they were, they're concerned about the killing of coal-fired power.
	That's what their concern is.
	And so I think this other group is trying to transition away from it.
	Yes, absolutely. I mean, you look at, I've got magazines here that, Gregory, that I show people from 1979, Time and Newsweek, and they say, by the middle of the 1980s, we will have no more oil and no more natural gas.
	And I saved those because I knew that was nonsense.
	And then they say, well, we've got 666 years of coal.
	So what do they do? They decide they're going to get rid of coal.
	You can make coal clean, but they're not required.
	When we talk about the UN, that's one of my pet peeves I talk about frequently here, and that is the Paris Climate Accord.
	Even people who are alarmists were alarmed at the Paris Climate Accord because they said, well, you're not doing anything to stop this.
	You're going to allow China and India to build as many power plants as they wish and not have them be clean anymore.
	And so this is not addressing what our global problem is, they think.
	They said this is simply a transfer of industry to China, and that's exactly what it is, isn't it?
	It is. It is. And boy, are they, both India and China.
	I think President Jinnah in India, Prime Minister Modi, I think he does care about his people and he wants to lift, they still have 800 million people that are living in energy poverty without electricity.
	He wants to lift those people up and provide electricity to everyone throughout India.
	And they're going great guys.
	They're mining, breaking records mining coal, they're setting records building and producing more electricity derived from coal.
	Their natural gas isn't very well developed.
	We can talk a little bit about that.
	I traveled to India and spoke at the first natural gas, shale gas conference in India a number of years ago.
	But China, President Xi, number one, he's got to be sitting there right now rubbing his hands together in Kui.
	Because he's worked...
	We're self-destructing.
	We're undermining our electricity, our economy, for no good reason.
	And he's advancing his.
	He's mouthing the words, we're going to go to net zero by what?
	2070? 2080?
	He has no intention of doing that.
	And they're going great guns.
	I don't think he, there's no altruistic bone in his body.
	His goal is to mount and have an economy We're good to go.
	Here in the United States, most of our proposals here, we know about Kamala Harris, who was pushing electric vehicles until she wasn't, which occurred at some point.
	We don't know why or when, but now she's not.
	But their old energy solution, Jennifer Granholm and Department of Energy, they want everybody to drive an electric car, which will only increase demand for an already scarce electricity.
	And it's going to be horrible, horrible, horrible.
	Yeah, well, we can look and see what's happening, as they're demanding that everything be electric.
	No gas ranges, all electric appliances, all electric cars, and everything.
	As they're doing that, they're simultaneously shutting down the grid capacity.
	And so we know where this all leads.
	And you can see what's happening in the UK as well.
	Their electricity is already four times what it is in the United States.
	They just shut down their last steel plant.
	They just shut down their last coal energy plant.
	They can't compete and manufacture anything with China.
	I mean, China's always had the China price, which is their currency manipulation and copyright piracy and slave labor.
	Well, now they've got the cheapest energy.
	We've got Germany.
	Look at what is happening to the German industry.
	They're having to shut down as well.
	If we follow this path of getting rid of CO2, it is a path of suicide.
	That's why your book is so important and the organization is so important.
	The CO2coalition.org that you put together got a lot of Nobel Prize winning scientists that are there.
	People ought to Bookmark that and get that on your mailing list.
	And the book is A Very Convenient Warming.
	Again, by Gregory Wrightstone.
	This is a vital issue.
	It really is. Yeah, thank you.
	Again, that's the mission of the CO2 Coalition.
	It's my own personal mission, is to get the science, the facts, and the data out there about what's actually happening.
	And I'm an optimist, David.
	I'm a true optimist in a lot of things, but particularly, I believe we're winning.
	I talk to lots of people.
	I do a lot of Uber drivers.
	I'm converting America one Uber driver at a time.
	But I find just about everybody I talk to is thirsty for the information that we provide, that my books provide, that the CO2 Coalition provides.
	They're thirsty for this.
	They've never heard of it. So many times their eyes get wide open.
	And they go, well, I've never heard that.
	Why aren't they telling us that?
	We need to be silenced.
	Yes. Because we're telling a fact-based story.
	And we can see what is happening in European countries, especially in the UK. They're a little bit ahead of us.
	You know, there's an article I haven't covered yet today that said electricity rationing has already begun.
	They just haven't given you your coupon book.
	And they're talking about how they're measuring all of the time of day usage and all the rest of this kind of stuff.
	And people are scrambling to figure out how they're going to afford this.
	And we've got this offshore wind farm that is offshore Long Island.
	It's going to escalate the price by conservative factor four or five times because they're looking at their profit margin.
	It's going to be about one and a half times what the current entire cost is.
	So it is amazing what is happening with all this, how expensive, how unreliable it is, and it really is going to be incredibly destructive for all of our lives.
	Yeah. Well...
	Thank you so much for joining us.
	And again, the book is A Very Convenient Warming by Gregory Wrightstone at the top of the Amazon list.
	Thank you so much for joining us, sir.
	And the CO2coalition.org, also very important.
	And I'll put that and the resource into the description, the CO2learningcenter.com, because we do have a lot of people who homeschool, and I know they'd be interested in those books and that curriculum.
	Thank you so much for joining us.
	Thank you. Thank you.
	All right, we're going to take a very quick break, and we're going to be right back, folks.
	I want to tell you about that story about the rationing in the UK. We'll be right back a minute. All right. All right. All right. All right. All right. All right. All right.
	All right. All right. All right. All right. All right. All right. All right. All right.
	All right. All right. All right. All right. All right. All right. All right. All right.
	You're listening to the David Knight show.
	Well, let's talk a little bit about what's happening with AI and nuclear power.
	Google agrees to buy nuclear power from small modular reactors that are going to be built by Kairos Power.
	They've got government funding to do a trial run of that in Tennessee.
	And, of course, we're seeing Amazon, Microsoft, now Google, all of them are going for their own nuclear reactors.
	We have OpenAI and Sam Altman.
	He's actually set up a company to do nuclear reactors.
	They've got partnerships with Blackstone and all the big financial people to do nuclear reactors.
	And yet, the reality is, and they kind of skip over this in this Zero Hedge article, because Zero Hedge is talking about how this is an opportunity to jump on board, And that there's going to be more profit from this side of the AI, in other words, feeding it power, That is necessarily going to be in trying to pick the winners of AI very similar situation to what we saw with the dot-com Uh situation and the dot-com bust. I remember the picks and
	axes strategy. I follow that myself there, but you saw the picks and axes The people that were selling the uh, the broadband switching circuitry and things like that They were going to make the internet work that makes the internet work today Those people went down the tubes Those companies went down the tubes along with all of the pet.com. Uh, you know, uh dot-com companies They all went down the tube.
	So there's a concern about that.
	But my biggest concern with all of this is the fact that this is a plan for them to have energy and for us to have none.
	They're not going to be putting this back onto the grid.
	This is why the S, small, small modular reactors.
	As I said before, they want to do these things very, very quickly.
	They want to start up Three Mile Island with a minimum oversight and test.
	Now what could be wrong with that?
	A very old nuclear facility that was shut down because it had a massive accident there.
	But let's just bring it back online as soon as possible.
	And everywhere in this article, you see clean, clean, clean when they talk about nuclear.
	Well, I guess that's a relative term, isn't it?
	People want to talk about CO2 as if it is dirty.
	It's not dirty. They'll typically refer to it as carbon, and I've seen it over and over again.
	Members of the press who don't know the difference between carbon, carbon monoxide, and carbon dioxide, and they frequently get all of those interchanged and intermixed up.
	But the real issue is this rationing.
	And this is from the expose in the UK. The government's given you a ration book for electricity.
	You just don't know it yet. We're about to say welcome to the winter of 2024, a season that makes the Blitz look like a summer picnic when it comes to electricity.
	With freezing temperatures outside and eye-watering bills inside, it feels like rationing is back, only this time there's no government-printed book with neat little coupons.
	Instead, we're given a kind of rationing courtesy of the invisible hand of the energy market.
	So why are we rationing, they said.
	Well, let's be clear. It's not because we're short of energy.
	No. We're short of affordable energy.
	The raw cost of fuels needed to generate electricity, that is oil and gas, have actually dropped.
	While you're here huddled under a blanket, suppliers are buying up barrels at prices we haven't seen this low in years.
	So why aren't your bills reflecting this?
	Well, it's because increasingly they're shutting down the sources of power that use those types of things.
	But there's also a great deal of collusion and corruption between these corporations and the government because they want to make this unaffordable, unavailable, all of your energy.
	So they point out that these oil companies are posting record profits and of course, like the wind farm off of Long Island, they are going to have record profits.
	The cost will be four or five times what it is now.
	The profits will be nearly double, between one half and double what the entire cost is How is that consumable?
	How could they make that much more profit?
	Well, because they're going to escalate everything.
	They said back in 1940, the rules are very simple.
	Here's your allowance. Make it last.
	But now there is no such transparency.
	Instead, we're navigating a minefield of confusing tariffs and dynamic pricing, where the cost of a cup of tea can triple if you brew it at the wrong time.
	How does this rationing actually work?
	Well, through something that's called demand response.
	The idea is that energy companies are supposed to ease the strain on the grid by persuading you to use less during peak hours.
	But instead of persuasion, it's more like coercion.
	Whispers of mandatory blackouts if customers don't comply.
	Penalties for exceeding limits during critical periods.
	Many of these so-called critical periods are simply a result of artificial constraints put in place to keep the prices up.
	So what's the response been?
	Well, families are now operating on a tight energy schedule that would make a 1940s housewife wince.
	There are tales of parents who are setting their alarms for 2 a.m.
	laundry runs. Kids doing homework and candlelight.
	Entire households sitting in the dark at 5 p.m.
	to avoid peak tariffs.
	All this in a country that supposedly has more energy reserves than it needs.
	But see, they're not allowed to use it.
	We're going to shut down the extraction of this stuff.
	And so they said, well, here's the way that you can survive.
	Time your usage.
	You want to boil that kettle for tea?
	Well, wait until the dead of night.
	Your new life motto is, save a watt, save a lot.
	Or you can befriend the old school tactics.
	Channel your grandparents' wisdom.
	Wear layers. Stock up on hot water bottles.
	And if you've got a fireplace, make the most of it.
	Central heating is now a luxury.
	Hoard energy credits.
	Make it a game. Rack up those points because you never know when you'll need them for a 30-second burst of microwave use.
	And then the great power fast.
	Plan family activities that require zero power.
	You know, board games or reading by candlelight or good old-fashioned staring contest.
	As I said, energy is a basic human need.
	It is not a privilege.
	It shouldn't be rationed like caviar while the profiteers in boardrooms toast to market dynamics.
	And then they got all that right and they say the government needs to step in properly.
	Do they not realize that it's the government that started all of this stuff?
	It's just like, where is this stuff coming from?
	I don't know! Let's get the government to fix it!
	No, it's going to be up to us.
	But this is an example of what they want to do to us.
	They want to make our electricity rationed and expensive and unreliable while they lavish whatever they want with their own private nuclear reactors.
	Have a good day. Let me tell you.
	The David Knight Show.
	You can listen to with your ears.
	You can even watch it by using your eyes.
	In fact, if you can hear me, that means you're listening to The David Knight Show right now.
	Yeah! Good job!
	And you want to know something else?
