Using free speech to free minds.
You're listening to The David Knight Show.
As the clock strikes 13 here on Airstrip 1...
This is the David Knight Show and I'm Gardner Goldsmith filling in for David Knight.
It's great to be here on a beautiful day before Thanksgiving.
November 27th, year of our Lord 2024. It's great to be here, everyone, welcoming you on all the platforms where we're streaming.
What an honor to be filling in for Dave.
We're going to have a great show today on a beautiful day wherever you are, talking about the history of Thanksgiving.
We'll be joined by Jason Barker of the Foxhole and Knights of the Storm at 1030 today to talk about faith, friendship and locality.
And we'll get into a lot of the big breaking news.
We'll be talking possible peace, office, and some smiles about Thanksgiving as well, here on The David Knight Show.
The David Knight Show.
I'm Gardner Goldsmith, coming in from MRCTV and The Liberty Conspiracy, where every Monday through Friday we get together at 6 p.m.
Eastern U.S. time, or whatever time you call home in your time zone.
And we break apart the news to derive long-standing lessons of liberty out of the breaking news so that we can apply those lessons to future situations like those and maybe pass on some of those lessons to our progeny in a positive way.
Good to have you here, everyone.
I hope your morning has been beautiful, day, night, whatever the time zone.
And we're going to have a terrific day today.
And I want to thank everyone at the David Knight team.
What a wonderful family.
What a wonderful group of viewers.
And of course, if you're watching on Rumble, if you're watching on Rockfin, I will check out your comments.
I mean, the team here in Deepest Darkest Russia, where we have our studios, The team will get the implanted Russian propaganda in our brain chip receivers and then we will look at your comments and siphon them through the eyes of Vladimir Putin so that, of course, we can continue to spread the Russian propaganda.
Happy day before Thanksgiving.
I know many people will be heading home around noontime today to head out with family and friends to maybe get the last fixings for the meal tomorrow night.
We'll talk about the tradition of Thanksgiving, the very first Thanksgiving, which actually pertains to my family because Richard Gardner, that's where we get the name Gardner Goldsmith and Gardner, Massachusetts, and the town of Salem, Massachusetts was founded by the Gardner family.
Isabella Stewart Gardner, the museum in Boston, she married into the family, had a pet panther, by the way, used to walk down the streets with her pet panther.
The Gardner family came over on the Mayflower.
So I've got a little video presentation to offer you about the private property and free market ties to the original Thanksgiving, going all the way back to Holland when the pilgrims went to Holland for a while.
And we'll take a lot of your comments and get Jason Barker's ideas today as well as look at the news.
Thank you again to David Knight.
Remember everyone, you can watch from 9 to noon, Monday through Friday.
Head over to the David Knight store and get ready for Christmas because over there you'll see some great items.
It's a terrific store.
I love it.
And of course, consider donating today as this will start to close off The week, close off the month, and it's a great way to show your appreciation for what David does without commercials.
It's just you and David Knight.
What a great thing.
I see already from Maine, our compatriot Steve Swan is there, and he is saying hello, and we're going to have some comments on the news coming up soon.
We'll Get the team to flash those comments up there, and we'll say hi to everyone inside Rockfin and Rumble as well.
Let's see what's scheduled for the program from our Russian schedulers on the David Knight Show for 11-27-24.
What's on tap today, everyone?
Well, the David Knight Show today will have a bit of a newsflash, and it makes the nasty people happy.
We'll get into that a little bit, and then we'll talk about an Israeli Hezbollah ceasefire.
Perhaps.
And I'm going to reiterate something that I got to discuss last night on my program, as well as touch upon yesterday, briefly, growing concern over Donald Trump's picks.
Not all of them, but many of them.
And in fact, there's a strange offset that came around last night.
We'll give you that as one of our first big news stories, where a lot of people are applauding him for one of his picks.
But in applauding him for one of his picks, of course, they're missing, I believe, the larger lesson about the Constitution and the greater, deeper lessons about peace.
That has to do with Jay Bhattacharya at NIH and the excitement many people are feeling about that.
Well, it's tempered with a little bit of realism.
About the way that people are accepting an uncompromisingly corrupt system, if we can use those two terms together.
We'll also talk about Kamala Harris, MSNBC, and Reverend Al and Money.
Yes, I wanted to talk a little bit more about this last night on Liberty Conspiracy.
Again, Monday through Friday, if you want to check it out, over at Rumble at 6 p.m.
and at Rockfin and over at my ex-feed, which is at Guard Goldsmith.
I should mention that, at Guard Goldsmith.
We'll also talk about something I didn't get to discuss at all last night and plan to discuss.
This is a story that is getting applause for some reason.
I'd love to get your feedback on this.
Social Security is ripping people off some more.
Non-payers will get more money.
Literally, non-payers into Social Security who worked for various forms of government And didn't have to pay into Social Security, are now going to get extra money from Social Security, and they're calling that fairness.
Ha ha ha!
All right, Thanksgiving is here.
Can't wait.
Ha ha!
Oh, it's a good thing the pilgrims escaped all that tyranny, huh?
And then we'll talk about something that I think is quite interesting.
Dr. Campbell and the Shroud of Turin.
I mentioned this a little bit last night on the program.
If we can touch on this, we will.
But I've got another little something from Dr. Campbell that will tie into Jay Bhattacharya and a lot of the medical censorship that we experienced on things like Facebook and YouTube.
So that is our schedule for the David Knight Show.
And again, I want to thank everyone for being there.
It's great to have you here, everyone.
I am so pleased.
And also, let's see if we can get the team to post up already our first comment from Steve Swan over in Maine.
The purpose of the 60-day Hezbollah ceasefire is to allow Israel to prepare for war with Iran when Trump gets into office.
And you know what, Steve?
I think that speculation is already slightly confirmed by what we discussed last night on Liberty Conspiracy, the open comments from Mr. Charmer, the Prime Minister of Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu, because he has said, as anti-war reported, Dave DeCamp because he has said, as anti-war reported, Dave DeCamp reported it in anti-war news, that he has said that it will allow this ceasefire, which isn't even a ceasefire because Israel can cancel it at any time.
Yeah, it's a ceasefire, unless we say it isn't.
Oh, really?
Is that sort of like a marriage unless you say it isn't?
That's right.
I can do whatever I want.
I'm getting your money.
It doesn't matter.
So I'm getting your money, and I'm getting weapons from you as well.
That's essentially what Benjamin Netanyahu intimated.
He said that it will allow them to focus more on Gaza.
And as I said on my program, and I might have said it here, I think they are going to be doing everything they can between tomorrow and And New Year's Day, as you two would say, all will not be quiet on New Year's Day in Gaza because they're going to do as much as they can over the next month to try to eliminate as many people as they can from Gaza, especially Northern Gaza.
And then they're going to try to take over and sweep through, I think.
And Netanyahu thinks that he's very close to achieving his goals.
So we'll talk about that and get more of your opinions.
And I want to say again, Thank you to the Russian team here as they welcome people on the David Knight Show.
Fellow conspirator, I can't believe he is chiming in on X as well.
So, by the way, if you're watching on X, this is on David Knight's X platform, which is at Libertitarian.
Please send the links out to as many people as you can during the program.
And remember...
Donations are very, very welcome.
As I fill in for David, I want to make sure that I do a really good job for David and for you as well.
And he says, Good morning, my brother.
Always a pleasure.
And he says, Liberty Conspiracy with the Statue of Liberty.
What a great welcome.
Just wonderful.
Really appreciate that.
And also, final comment that we'll put up before we get rolling here.
Steve Swan mentions most of Trump's picks are war with the Randhawks.
Absolutely right.
Yeah, absolutely.
It's a good thing we have the Russian team here to put those posts up.
All right, let's get started, everyone, and discuss something that I think might be valuable and get into this positive side that many people are applauding.
But again, a little dose of reality about this.
The news came out last night, everyone, and I wanted to share it on David Knight's program today from MRCTV, my work at MRCTV, to Liberty Conspiracy, to you at the David Knight Audience Network.
It is about Donald Trump's decision to appoint or nominate one of the signing members of the Brownstones, of the Great Barrington Declaration, Jay Bhattacharya, involved with, of course, the Murthy v.
Missouri lawsuit, which has been combined with a lawsuit from RFK Jr.
They originally said in the Supreme Court that the plaintiffs, including J. Baradakaria and a number of doctors, did not have standing because they could not show that they had been directly harmed by the United States government engaging in censorship.
Well, in fact, Clarence Thomas noted that one of the doctors could cite direct harm.
She lost her position specifically because of a note of falsehood that was posted on one of these social media sites.
She was nailed for that, and she was removed from her job.
But there's more to the Jay Bhattacharya story.
Let's get a little theme from some wonderful musicians backing somebody who, way back in the old days, got a lot of people very excited.
He was, of course, James Brown.
I knew that I wouldn't.
I feel good.
I knew that I wouldn't.
So good.
So good.
I got a year.
Well, whether or not Donald Trump will definitely have Jay Batacari at NIH, I don't know, but many people feel good about it.
Got it.
Boy, oh boy.
Listen to that synthesizer.
I mean, saxophone.
And he did have quite a voice.
Boy, James Brown.
James Brown went through a lot of troubles in his life.
Uh...
Wonderful music on that one, definitely.
I Feel Good, I Got You is the actual name of the song.
So, do a lot of fans of Jay Barakaria, and I think Jay Barakaria put up a tremendous fight on many fronts, both trying to get out the facts and on the political free speech side.
Of course, the Great Barrington Declaration signed...
In Great Barrington, Massachusetts, at the home of the American Institute for Economic Research.
Full disclosure, I have many friends who work there.
And in fact, the first time I met David Knight in Kingston, New York, when I traveled to see Gerald Salente's presentation for peace and David spoke there, I passed right by the building.
I almost went up.
I could see the building on the hill, but I didn't have enough time to stop in.
in.
It's a beautiful building, East Barrington, Massachusetts, a wonderful mountainous region, very, very close to the New York border and really close to Gerald Salentes, Kingston, New York.
Well, Jay Batacaria has been nominated.
He will likely be the man that is debated for NIH. And he posted on Twitter slash X, which Jason Barker calls Twix, I am honored and humbled by President At Real Donald Trump's nomination of me to be the next NIH Director.
We will reform American scientific institutions so that they are worthy of trust again and will deploy the fruits of excellent science to make America healthy again.
Does anybody see some problems there?
I do, because it's collectivism.
It's we will do this and we will make America healthy again.
It is the argument of so-called public health and Jay Bhattacharya did a very good job in trying to stay away from government edicts and just offer recommendations to people.
He said, and he was absolutely right, that you won't get endemic status through vaccination.
You go with allowing or asking the healthy people to be out in the community while the sicker or the more prone to sickness, frail, infirm, older people, higher risk people stay inside.
Allowing the younger, healthier people to acquire natural immunity by becoming infected, not dying, but gaining natural immunity, which is stronger and longer lasting and more predictable on a particular curve.
And you don't have the older people out there until the population is filled with people with natural immunity.
That was the recommendation.
And masks were understood by people at AIER, Jay Bhattacharya, the Great Barrington Declaration.
Those were understood by many of them who spoke out, as I did, for MRCTV, and we got slammed and censored for that.
In fact, you can't even find some of our videos at YouTube I discussed some of these things.
They were removed by YouTube or by MRCTV because YouTube was going to give us a lot of strikes.
And that will bring us to John Campbell in a minute, actually.
So, J. Baudicaria put up a very good fight, but unfortunately...
He still accepts, as does Donald Trump, as do many people who think there will be this great change if you just change the person at the wheel of the sinking ship.
It is an immoral, unconstitutional agency.
You don't fix things by replacing and putting in someone to head up something that shouldn't exist in the first place and derives its money to make America healthy again.
By taking away individual choice and siphoning off people's money to feed the NIH. I'm sorry, but that is a major lesson that should be expounded and echoing from the rooftops of the internet, I hope.
Because this is the larger lesson here.
He might be able to try to change some policies.
But what does the word policy mean?
It means diktat.
It means command backed by threats of government force.
That's all it is.
You strip off all of the accoutrements to the state, all of the rhetoric, all of the flowery, the government is us nonsense.
And if you don't want to be part of the us, you'll find out that the government isn't you.
And the NIH is not you.
And there's no such thing as public health.
There is no such thing as public health.
There's individual health, which I thought Jay Bhattacharya was stressing by saying don't have government diktats.
Have voluntary choice to stay away.
Don't have lockdowns.
Don't shut down people's businesses.
I thought that was very important and he likely does still support those things.
But by adopting the idea That there should be, in any way, an NIH to adopt policy, promulgate policy, work on policy, for so-called public health, you are adopting a giant pernicious canard.
There is only individual health.
Public health is a utilitarian construct of consequentialist philosophy.
It is the greatest good for the greatest number.
And what does that mean?
There is no public health because there are only individuals.
When individuals gather in large groups, or if government puts them into certain categories of large groups created by the government, all that does is put them in a group.
It doesn't mean that they're no longer individuals.
They don't melt into some giant gestalt.
They're still individuals.
And by claiming public health, by claiming they can create policy for the greater good, the greatest good for the greatest number, they undercut the individual's right to be left alone.
They undercut the individual's right to decide for himself what to do with his own life regarding medicine and more deeply regarding his own earnings and income and where that money should be spent.
Any idea that the money should go to the NIH means that a portion of that person's life is being taken away for the greater good.
That is a sacrifice of the individual, which then means you get to the final point philosophically and logically.
You're actually undercutting the very idea of the greatest good for the greatest number.
Good can only be defined by the individual.
It can't be defined by authoritarian people who issue diktats, even if they're trying to get involved in running an agency that has issued terrible diktats in the past, and you're trying to fix it.
Because it still exists on a philosophical level.
It is an insult to individual sovereignty and natural rights.
The entire superstructure of the NIH, A, for those who are constitutionalists, and I'm a Christian anarchist, I know that A bunch of people signing a piece of paper over 200 years ago gives them no authority over me, just as a bunch of people signing a paper claiming authority over me now would give them no authority over me either.
You have to engage in consent for voluntary interaction for it to be acceptable on an ethical or moral level.
All other systems that are imposed on people are immoral and unethical.
Period.
Full stop.
There is no way around that.
That's just how it works amongst adults with natural rights.
That's why anarchy, no human ruler, is the way I operate.
I don't want to control my neighbor, and I don't want my neighbor to control my other neighbor.
I want them to leave each other alone.
That is something that I would afford to them.
You have a right to be left alone by me.
I have a right to be left alone by you.
The NIH is an absolute affront to that.
Now, Jay Bhattacharya will be a positive regarding policy, I'm sure.
But policy itself, the existence of policy in any regard, especially in this regard, means that rights are being taken.
And it also means the tautological obviousness becomes apparent.
Because by taking away the natural rights of the individual and claiming that you can impose policy on him and he can't disagree in some way, especially to the point of not being able to deny paying for something he might not want to pay for, like the NIH, you are imposing an attack on his natural rights and you are...
You are restricting his ability to be able to determine for himself what is good for himself.
You don't get to any position of helping someone by threatening that person with aggressive force of the polis.
So as Jay Bhattacharya comes out there, we can remember some of his heroic moments and his continuing efforts To engage in a lawsuit for free speech.
His argument will be introduced as part of the RFK Jr. facet of the Murphy v.
Missouri lawsuit.
It will go back into the Supreme Court because RFK Jr. does have standing and that will be heard by the court probably this year.
But as far as Jay Bhattacharya goes, it also allows us to remember the positive side.
We can remember, of course, that Jay Bhattacharya and others tried to speak up for medical freedom.
They tried to mention to people, you know, don't get the jabs, it's unreliable.
And of course, later, many people started to sound the alarm and we were silenced, silenced just like Jay Bhattacharya, that there was no way you could know how many people were infected because they were using faulty PCR tests.
They were incentivizing hospitals, paying them to claim that people who died with a positive, faulty PCR test died from COVID. Then, of course, we found that they were silencing us regarding masks and the jab itself and how dangerous it was.
And, of course, the very idea of its efficacy was highly questionable right from the start, as we discovered later.
As I mentioned, Robert Roos questioning Janine Smalls from Pfizer inside the EU. And he said, did you know whether the Pfizer jabs were effective in stopping transmission?
And of course she answered, oh no, of course we didn't know that.
We had to operate at the speed of science, which is such a logical rhetorical jumble, it's completely contradictory.
You don't operate at the speed of science and then put something out without using the scientific method on it to see if it works.
That's fairly obvious.
So, we can applaud Jay Bhattacharya, or I can applaud Jay Bhattacharya, one can applaud Jay Bhattacharya for getting involved in that fight.
But I think if we go deeper into the inner sanctum of philosophy, we can see that the very concept of public health and this NIH not only are unconstitutional, not allowed in any fair assessment of the Constitution, but also we can fairly assess the fact that this man worked very hard to try to get his message out and he was silenced.
And in fact, I have to say, Russell Brand actually posted something that many people have seen before, but I want to bring it up, and he did it with this little bit of a spin.
I won't show the whole thing, but it is Rachel Maddow, and it shows you just the amazing...
Amazing effrontery of these people.
To use that term again, I think is appropriate because they have no shame.
Even today, she's talking about Jay Bhattacharya as a quack when he was proven correct as far as how to handle the so-called pandemic, which is you can't rely on jabs to introduce into the population an endemic status.
People get them at different times.
The curve is jagged.
It's not even a curve.
And you don't even know whether those jabs are going to be effective, which was proven right.
And she was proven wrong.
Here we go.
We also got news on other health care picks around the CDC.
Donald Trump picked a former Republican congressman who for years has crusaded on the false claim that vaccines must be the cause of autism to lead the National Institute of Health.
Trump's top candidate endorsed Herd immunity.
There she's talking about Jay Bhattacharya coming in, and she didn't say his top candidate.
This was before the announcement.
Top candidate for NIH. She forgot to put that in there.
There must have been something wrong on her teleprompter.
But nonetheless, yes, herd immunity.
And again, the only way you get to herd immunity is not through vaccination.
As I mentioned yesterday on Liberty Conspiracy and over here briefly on David's show, if you look at Vernon Coleman's book, Anyone Who Tells You Vaccines Are Safe and Effective is Lying.
He has the chart right in there as those dangerous diseases, the slope of the of the diseases amongst the population was going down throughout the 1930s, 40s and 50s as people got better medicine, better nutrition and better cleanliness.
And sure enough, when they introduced various vaccines for those, the slope did not change and become steeper.
So it had no effect.
Best way to address the COVID pandemic, just a fancy way of saying, let's get everybody sick and see what happens.
Call the week.
She's unbelievable.
That is the mindset of her, even today.
And yet, this was her a while back.
Now we know that the vaccines work well enough that the virus stops with every vaccinated person.
A vaccinated person gets exposed to the virus.
The virus does not infect them.
I've watched that so many times.
Yes, and Russell Brand says, I've heard that so many times, as many people have.
But it is valuable to have that video and to show it because it exposes those people very, very well.
So I wanted to make sure that I got into that about Jay Bhattacharya, about how the NIH doesn't help people.
It stops their ability to be able to evaluate and assess for themselves what is helping their lives.
It's a similar thing.
In fact, it's a parallel.
It's a cipher to the same argument that can be made about FEMA. Again, unconstitutional.
The original concept of government under John Locke's idea, and I discussed this briefly yesterday about how Locke was off Because he thought that government was created to allow people to protect themselves from encroachments by others against their lives or their property, but government itself is an encroachment against your lives, so it's tautological again.
At least on the baseline, the founders embraced the idea that an authentic political system, and I don't agree with this, but this is just stating their ideas, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, and so on, that they thought that government, like John Locke had said 100 years before, was valid if it was there to stop people from encroaching on other people's lives, person-on-person attacks.
So a virus would not be something that In which the government is supposed to participate in protecting people by taking their money and coming up with policies that then force them to do things like even create jabs.
Now, constitutionally, I suppose people could come up with an argument, and this is actually as Sasha Lauropova reported.
This was actually sort of the way they did it.
Through the Department of Defense, they developed these jabs with the money going out to Pfizer and Moderna and so on and so forth, years before the rollout of the jabs.
And, of course, they were failures over and over and over again.
But one could maybe make an argument that the Department of Defense Can develop a viral protector, some sort of vaccine, if they think that a foreign nation state is going to be developing an attack virus.
But the only way that they really could do that would be if Congress declared war and called up the militia and then a portion of them.
It's a little Byzantine.
So just to stick to the basics of it, let's just say that it really is inappropriate on a philosophical and The spirit of the Constitution doesn't allow under their rules.
And again, as an anarchist, I don't even think that the Constitution signed by others can be authentically claimed to have any authority over you if you didn't give your consent, which you didn't 200 years ago.
And I haven't given my consent to the Constitution either.
And just because I don't run away doesn't mean that I give my consent.
As I mentioned, that's mafia talk.
You didn't run away, so you accept our control over you.
No, who's initiating the aggression here?
I am, but you didn't run away, so you accept my aggression.
No, you don't set the rules.
Sorry, leave me alone.
But the idea that the government can engage in protecting you against naturally occurring phenomenon was absolutely contrary to every principle under which the founders founded the U.S. Constitution.
And that gets us to the constant storm of FEMA. Because you might have seen that people are still very upset about FEMA. We'll get to the FEMA stuff in just a minute.
Let me just show you John Campbell's incredibly beautiful, sarcastic response to continuing censorship to round off the Jay Bhattacharya announcement.
And I'll get your thoughts.
Let me know if you think that it is a positive response.
But it is tinged with negativity because it doesn't eliminate the NIH, and that is something that Donald Trump should do if he's going to support the Constitution.
If you agree, maybe you have some different nuances and you want to offer those.
Offer your comments inside Rumble, inside Rockfin, or on X, and we can post them Thanks to the team here in Russia.
But John Campbell, I mentioned John Campbell on Liberty Conspiracy.
Mentioned him briefly maybe yesterday on David's show.
John Campbell, a doctor.
He's got a PhD in philosophy as well.
He taught in front of nurses for nursing as well.
John Campbell, the British man who did such a good job after he himself thought that he had been injured by jabs, starting to get the information out, getting some of the data and really going through things for people, just turning on his camera and going through things with a second camera over a book or showing his screen and outlining information he was researching.
Well, I mentioned that he's done fairly well without getting slammed too hard by the censorious minds at Google Alphabet YouTube.
Well, guess what?
He just posted something that tells us, no, he has been censored in a way.
They just hit him for wrong think.
But his response to it was absolutely beautiful.
He hasn't been removed, but he's gotten one of those 30-day warnings, and I would like to compliment him and offer a reminder about his work, because he's done very, very well for quite a while, and I hope people will remember this good man, John Campbell.
Here's what he had to say.
Just a couple seconds to offer you this beautiful response, and it's wonderfully sarcastic.
Well, I believe we are lying.
I haven't done this for a few years, so I thought I'd give it a go.
Now, the reason I wanted to do a live broadcast, whatever you would call it, is that yesterday I got a YouTube warning.
So I put out a video yesterday and it got one of these red strikes and it was taken down by YouTube.
This was my fault entirely.
I contravened community guidelines.
Now, for quite a long time, I have been successfully, let's pick a word here, navigating YouTube guidelines.
We're being very careful not to contravene YouTube guidelines, of course, but yesterday I failed and was a judge to have breached the guidelines.
Now, the guidelines are very much based on contributors not being allowed to contradict official teaching, for example, in areas of health from national health bodies or august international bodies, such as the World Health Organization, that, of course, we wouldn't want to contradict at all.
Or point out criticism of, because that would breach community guidelines.
Of course, we wouldn't want to do that.
And he goes on.
It's just fantastic.
And he spells out later on, and he does it in very, very ways.
Very decorous, very adroit terms.
Great job from Dr. John Campbell.
And, of course, he's not going to be able to have advertisers on his YouTube channel, which has 3.16 million subscribers.
And I mentioned when I played him yesterday, you know, I think he's so big YouTube can't remove him.
But they did hit him with that red flag.
And, you know, talking about the United States government engaging in censorship through Facebook for your own good, the World Health Organization redefining the term pandemic in March of 2009, just before the H1N1 so-called pandemic, which it wasn't a pandemic. just before the H1N1 so-called pandemic, which it wasn't a They lowered the lethality threshold so that to call something a pandemic, the whatever the outbreak had to be didn't have to be as deadly.
And they could use the scary term pandemic.
Of course, allowing politicians to use that rhetorically to gin up fear to allow for the government to seize more power and more money.
Of course.
Well, as I mentioned, the founders found this entirely alien to the concept of an appropriate government.
The polis was only supposed to exist for person-on-person predation.
Of course, that's what the government is.
It's people-on-other-people-predation, as Frederick Bastier said.
It's people trying to gain advantage over other people.
And we know that people have spoken out about the source of the viral research and whether or not the pandemic might have been caused by Wuhan research.
It seems pretty clear that the money that originally was going to Chapel Hill, North Carolina Through NIH and NIAID and Anthony Fauci was given the so-called pause, which I think was just a screen that Barack Obama put up with full knowledge,
I think, on Obama's part, that he wasn't really banning gain-of-function research, but they just used the EcoHealth Alliance as a front to channel the NIH money through EcoHealth and then send all the people who were doing the research in North Carolina over to Wuhan.
Now, whether or not People think that the result of their research at Chapel Hill and at Wuhan resulted in a virus that infected people and hurt people.
Whether or not they think that that was real or they don't think it was real, whether they think it was real and it was intended to cause fear and cause harm and then inspire the reaction of the Javs, which was the end destination for politicians and the drug manufacturers, or they think it was not actually which was the end destination for politicians and the drug manufacturers, or they think it was not actually something Those are all irrelevant to me.
To me, what's relevant is on their constitutional level, they swear an oath to uphold the Constitution.
Therefore, the NIH and NIAID shouldn't exist.
Therefore, none of the viral research should be happening, whether it's gain-of-function research or not, whether it produces something or it doesn't and people want to debate it or they don't.
The baseline is, I have a right to be left alone and so do you.
So there we are.
We're done.
You don't have to argue anymore about what the result of it was.
One does not need to expend energy on it.
However, in doing so, I think it is worthwhile investigating some of these corrupt channels of money like the EcoHealth Alliance and Peter Daszak and actually look into the Wuhan information.
I think People are interested in it.
I think it shows some very nefarious individuals and their lies.
And again, Jay Bhattacharya did a fantastic job in trying to stand up for traditional medicine against a maelstrom of government censorship.
But again, the idea of the public health concept actually undercuts our ability To decide and a judge for ourselves.
Just like FEMA. So let's talk about FEMA right now.
Because FEMA is the constant storm.
And I'm going to tie this into something that will bring us into some of the war information.
But I want to show you what is happening still for victims of Hurricane Helene.
They're not happy about this.
And they're speaking up about the United States government pushing with new proposals to send even more money out to Ukraine while this is going on.
Matt Van Swal writes, Watch as FEMA officials blame the victims of Hurricane Helene for not wanting to come out of their tents as the reason they're not helping them.
Literally blaming the victims.
This is despicable.
Officer Jeremy Slinker says it's not realistic to put an exact date on when all eligible families will be placed into housing.
We're very hopeful that it will be in the coming months.
We've previously reported on many residents in the mountains living in tents since Helene.
Slinker says they are routinely checking in on those people and offering transitional sheltering assistance.
If someone wants to come out of their tent, we will find a way working with whether it's a FEMA solution or whether the state of North Carolina has a solution or one of our voluntary organizations has a solution, we would find that.
He says they're finding that a number of people are wanting to stay in tents.
That's where they're from.
That's where they live.
They're worried about their property and if they're not on their property, somebody coming in and looting it or taking things.
Deputy Assistant Administrator Julia Moline says there are also residents who have declined the option to be housed.
More than a thousand survivors here in North Carolina have declined housing for various reasons.
But for families who have been approved for housing, it can take time.
Slinker says they have to evaluate the size of the family and make sure they can keep them in the area they're from.
We may have a place for them, but it's not somewhere where they would want to go.
It may be they want to remain in their school district for their kids or they work there or, you know, like all of us, they're from there and they don't want to leave.
In some cases, people can get housing on their private property.
We have to ensure that we can access the site, that the site has enough space for the unit, that the home can be connected to all utilities.
Slinker says they are committed to being here until every family has a safe and sanitary place to live, but the first step to get there is by applying for assistance.
You can find that link on our website at WLOS.com.
In Asheville, I'm Taylor Thompson, News 13. All right.
Well, there you go.
And it's a really sad situation for so many of those people.
But again, hopefully it doesn't sound cold-hearted or hard-hearted to mention that FEMA is a patently, obviously, unconstitutional agency.
And if we're looking at storm damage, what FEMA actually represents is a constant maelstrom taking away our money and our opportunities to be able to fend for ourselves and decide for ourselves what betters our life and protects us.
By removing our ability to be able to save and invest in things, they actually make it more risky for our lives.
If you look at private industry versus government in areas like the tsunami victims out in the Pacific, private industry, hotel owners got in and took care of things much more rapidly than government.
Look at Hawaii.
Look at East Palestine.
The government, slow response, slow response, slow response.
And in addition to drawing away individual valuation and ability to be able to prepare for oneself and help a neighbor, There's that terrific book by Marvin Olasky, which is called The Tragedy of American Compassion,
and in it he shows, just like Alexei de Tocqueville wrote in the early 1800s, he shows private initiative and how private initiative and local communities and respect and reputation Helped people and people wanted to show their reciprocation amongst their neighbors with whom they would be associating for years.
That's how many of these civic groups like 4-H and the Lions Club and the Rotary started.
As those civic groups grew, we see the history of these, as Marvin Alasky brought up, they were people who lived near each other, and they said, you know, we all helped out with, for example, Tom and Jill's barn burned down, and we went and helped them rebuild it.
And then for years afterwards, they were bringing us milk and corn, and then they came and helped us out when we had this flood over at the corner of such and such.
They reciprocated.
It's person-on-person, not officious.
You're not going up to some plexiglass office and taking a number and waiting in an office with some Perpetually paid government unionized employee who claims they're helping you and that they care.
Well, they're getting paid regardless of whether they care.
So we don't know whether they really care.
The politicians are taking other people's money, so we don't know whether they really care.
And the taxpayers have to pay or they'll go to jail.
So we don't know whether they really care.
So anything the government does, we can't actually say America cares about those people.
We can't say that.
It's a literal impossibility, logically speaking.
The only way that care can be shown is through volition, individual choice, individual morals, and decisions over how much do I give?
To whom do I give?
What is the response that I would like to see based on how that person responds to me?
Will I give to that person again?
All of these things were decided immediately.
And a judge by people years ago in those civic groups and then they became very prosperous.
They had enough leftover to be able to help out people who weren't even parts of their groups.
I was helped by the Rotary International to go to Australia to visit with Australians in Queensland.
Now, I know some people think that the Rotary is a little too internationalist, but it's an example of small civic groups getting involved and helping each other and the amazing leveraging power that that has, especially for people who are amongst each other and are neighbors and they have that reputation to uphold.
That's extremely important.
The larger the area of control, The less personal it becomes, the less addressable it becomes, and the less information you have.
So perhaps I might think that helping people in this particular area would be good, and I might want to donate.
If I find that the organization to which I donated was wasting money, then I wouldn't give to them again.
Or if I found that they were sending something to a place that I didn't want it sent, I might go to a different place that maybe spiritually was more connected with Christianity.
Or maybe I want to help people who are writers because I'm a writer.
I want to help people out.
There are musicians groups that Help out poor musicians and give them instruments.
I knew some people who had their instruments stolen.
They were a Swedish punk band and their guitars were stolen and they were able to turn to this group that allows for bands to be able to get free instruments in emergencies.
That's a band of musicians.
So these sorts of things, they foster good relationships with neighbors.
And we see that here with David Knight's program, with you contributing.
Over on Rockfin, I see already we have a contribution to the David Knight Show.
And I want to thank Carlos Rex.
David Knight received a tip of $5 over.
Thank you very much, Carlos.
So what would happen if the government took our money to spend it on things like, oh, I don't know, broadcasting, like NPR? We would all argue about it.
Many people might be satisfied with NPR. They might like those ridiculous documentaries Ken Burns made.
And many people might not.
They might recognize how biased the Civil War documentary was towards the North.
And they might not want their money going there.
Why can't we have choice?
Why can't we have freedom?
And this is the thing with the so-called aid to natural disasters.
It is a constant storm that undercuts our ability to respond.
And of course, If we see private initiative, there's a reason that that money should remain in the bank.
It needs to be leveraged so that people can invest in new things in R&D or in protecting their investments.
So that's a very important thing.
Then, of course, you get to federal flood insurance.
John Stossel has done a great job talking about federal flood insurance and what a boondoggle that is.
A man named Wally Stickney from New Hampshire.
I got to know Wally when I was doing radio here.
He worked in the George H.W. Bush administration in FEMA. And he said, hey, guard, I'll tell you the way it works in many of these areas, especially places like North Dakota, where is it the Red River?
Floods almost every year or every few years.
People in those areas game the system.
They take their old furniture, bring it down to the lower levels of their homes where they know that they can then cite it for being flood damaged and they'll get paid and they will replace their old furniture with new furniture.
He says, I've seen it happen over and over again.
So those are the unproductive results of an already immoral system.
And So if we look at that, we can see that some people are very upset about what's been going on in the flood zones.
And curiously enough, we're seeing some people over in England who are getting very upset about something similar.
I want to turn to Che Bose, who's actually in Russia and reports for the evil RT. Because he's expressing some indignation on, as many people in the flood zones here, the government of Britain spending more and more money to send it over to Ukraine.
So let's see Che Boz and see what Che Boz had to say as he says, I asked the British ambassador to Russia why his government is happy to spend hundreds of millions...
To escalate the war in Ukraine and kill Russians.
He was summoned as another British diplomat was thrown out of Russia for spying.
He said, I also asked him why his embassy is being used as an intelligence base to undermine the Russian Federation.
All while British pensioners freeze to death because his government took away their fuel benefits.
And he ran away.
So again, it's a bit of a mixing because, again, it's not appropriate for the government to be taking people's money to supply it for protection against cold weather for anybody.
It's just inappropriate to take the money in the first place.
But I definitely understand the added insult of taking the money That they claim is going to be used to help people and then under the auspices of so-called your defense, giving it to Ukraine in a conflict that was inspired by Western aggression over decades and the overthrow of the Ukrainian government in late 2013 and 2014. So here's Che Bose in Russia trying to get a word in with the new British
ambassador because the other one was removed for spying.
Ambassador, could you answer some questions for Russia today, sir?
What do you think about the embassy being used as an intelligence base?
Sorry, sir, would you answer some questions for the British people?
Do the British people need to have some answers about why you're escalating the war in Ukraine, sir?
Why can't you spend hundreds of millions of pounds to kill Russian citizens, but you won't pay for pensioners' fuel, sir?
Can you answer that question, sir, why you're spending your £1 million on weapons desk day before, but you won't spend money to pay for pensioners' fuel?
Is that appropriate?
Are you proud of that, sir?
Good job, Chebos.
You know, and again, I have disagreements there with him about the appropriateness of government taking anyone's money in the first place.
But of course, sentimentally, you know, the British, they have this idea that the government should be there with their National Health Service, which is an absolute boondoggle.
And just a few years ago, they were exposed for emails to each other about trying to hide information that they're going to have to close some offices, medical offices.
Because they were so overbudgeted and overstaffed and they didn't have enough money coming in already with their giant bloated budgets.
It was absolutely crazy.
You look at Matt Hancock and his deceptiveness.
Claiming, you know, his crocodile tears when they got the jabs, knowing that the jabs were not proven to be effective in any way, knowing that they hadn't been shown to have been safe.
And then bringing in midazolam, which is absolutely dangerous and likely was used to kill a lot of pensioners in the UK. And Matt Hancock later, who was the man who talked about separating, keeping apart, not having contact with people, being caught On camera in an elevator with his paramour, yes, having an affair and feeling her up.
Just unbelievable, man.
The same man, Matt Hancock, by the way, who when I was in England promoted the canard of hoof and mouth around 2002, I think it was.
And I literally was at Heathrow Airport watching the television and they were going to shut down the airport's Because they were afraid that people who had walked through the Midlands might have tracked some infected soil onto their shoes and they didn't want it tracked everywhere.
It was utterly false.
They ended up culling thousands and thousands and thousands of heads of cattle and sheep.
Unbelievable destruction for the farmers.
Akin to a bubble of the enclosure movement of the royals back in the 1600s, 1700s in England as the As the royal system started to shut down.
So Che Bose, you can watch Che Bose on Russia Today.
He's got a program.
It's a half hour show and it's terrific.
It's a lot of fun called Moscow Mules.
And I have shown many segments of Moscow Mules.
In fact, I recorded some on Sunday on my recording system because I wanted to show it on Liberty Conspiracy.
Che Bose, he's actually a stand-up comic from Ireland.
But he does very good work in covering the news.
And he mixes humor with the information on Moscow mules.
So let's mix a little music in right now, everybody, on the David Knight Show.
Let's pause for a minute and reflect again as we look at all this intense news.
Let's reflect again that it's the holiday season.
And I am very grateful to be filling in for David.
It's absolutely wonderful to be here.
And so I would like to offer some of the wonderful music that David Knight put together for Christmas time as it approaches.
Here is, of course, some of the music that you might know very well from The Peanuts.
It's Christmas, Charlie Brown, Charlie Brown Christmas, brought to you by, of course, The David Knight Show.
The David Knight Show
The David Knight Show
The David Knight Show
The David Knight Show You're listening to The David Knight Show.
And I can heartily recommend that Christmas album.
It is just so good to listen to, to put on in the background.
Just brings back wonderful memories.
It evokes warm feelings and of course it comes from a man you can think about, David Knight, and you can consider his whole family.
Wonderful people.
I'll never forget meeting David and Karen and Travis in Kingston, New York at Gerald Salente's gathering where David was speaking and what wonderful people they were.
It was getting cold.
We took a picture in very dim light, David and I looking up at the camera.
It was wonderful.
It was just great.
So thank you to everyone who's watching.
And again, thank you to the David Knight team.
Wonderful people.
And I also want to thank the people at MRCTV. I wrote an article last night.
It was about a thousand word article for MRCTV because I knew I was going to be doing the show for David today from nine to noon.
And I wanted to make sure that the editors had it because I knew they would be leaving in Washington at noontime.
So we'll talk about that later in the show.
And at 1030, Jason Barker, one of the great people we've met through this wonderful association at the David Knight Show and his ministry here.
Jason Barker will be joining us.
He of Nights of the Storm and the Foxhole.
And we'll be talking a little bit about Thanksgiving and we'll go through some of the history of Thanksgiving shortly.
But let's get back to intensity.
Let's talk not just about the holidays, but about preserving freedom and about, again, that strange differential as people look at the money being spent that they think maybe, you know, I contributed to this.
I was forced to pay for this.
These pensioners, they're forced to pay into it over in England.
How about those people who were forced to pay for FEMA? And yet, yes, they want to spend more money on Ukraine.
Let's talk war and get some word from Edwin Starr.
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing.
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing.
Say it again, y'all.
Look out.
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing.
Listen to me.
I despise Costing me the destruction Of this life Wore me his tears Cause I was a mother that I had When it's like Excellent stuff Excellent stuff.
Edwin Starr.
Can't go wrong.
Can't go wrong with Edwin Starr.
What a voice.
Got some good soulful stuff from James Brown.
And hey, we've got a lot of JB's.
James Brown, Jay Bhattacharya, and Jason Barker.
We've got a lot of J.B.'s.
Can you hear me, J.B.? And James Brown's band used to be called the J.B.'s, weren't they?
So yeah, James Brown, the J.B.'s, J. Bodakaria, and Jason Barker.
Wow.
I guess the David Knight Show is brought to you by the letters J and the letter B today, like Sesame Street.
By the way, I saw Sesame Street the first year it started, and many people aren't familiar with this.
And even though it's public television, I do have a warm spot in my heart for the original Sesame Street and, you know, some of the people who were on there and the ingenuity and creativity of Jim Henson and the Muppets and so on.
Oscar the Grouch originally was orange.
And I actually have a record, one of those Sesame Street records that was released, that shows Oscar Grouch as orange.
But they changed Oscar the Grouch to green because they realized they were putting it out in color, but they realized a lot of people still had black and white televisions and orange didn't show as well in the grayscale as green did.
So that's quite interesting that they went to that specificity to recognize that very quickly.
That's interesting.
Somebody must have noticed it on the monitor, maybe compared.
That's the only thing I can think of.
Well, let's compare United States' FEMA response to United States' Ukraine response.
And yes, we'll get aboard with some of the people who are very critical, and I think appropriately so, about the fact that their tax money has been taken to fund FEMA, even though it shouldn't exist.
It's not government to protect you against naturally occurring phenomenon or subsidize you to go and live in a place again like John Stossel showed with his beach house where you had it all paid for after it was wiped out.
Government came in, gave him more money to build in the exact same spot, which is reckless, causes a lot of people to live in places where they shouldn't if they had to get regular private insurance.
And that's a waste of resources.
Not only our tax resources, but resources to build those houses, see them destroyed and then brought back again.
It's ridiculous.
Let's talk about the waste of resources going to Ukraine right now.
And by the way, everybody, you'll see here at the Anti-War website, Scott Horton's book, Provoked, being promoted.
Great book.
And I was hoping Scott could join us today, but didn't hear back.
So I think that Scott will join me on Liberty Conspiracy for a future program sometime at 6 p.m.
We'll give you the heads up over my ex-feed.
That's Atgard Goldsmith.
But let's take a look at this.
Biden asks Congress to authorize $24 billion more to spend on Ukraine.
Now, sentimentally speaking, I think that that is an absolute affront to many of those people who are going to be suffering cold and wet and unhealthy conditions because the United States government promised them that they would help and they have not helped in those flood zones.
But in addition to that, there's, I think, the longer-term lesson that can be drawn from this, which is that the US government is not at war.
It has no allies.
These are just basic technical terms.
It has no allies.
It is not supposed to be sending weapons to foreign countries or sending money to foreign countries.
That's it.
I don't swear an oath to the Constitution.
I drive around in my car and listen to punk rock.
But this is a very clear point that I can bring up to the constitutionalists and those who support Donald Trump might want to remember that when he stands for supposedly bringing peace to Ukraine and yet he brings Mr. Sebastian Gorka in who is an absolute Ukraine hawk and He wants to continue sending weapons to Israel.
Biden now asks Congress to authorize $24 billion more to spend on Ukraine.
Perhaps he worries that Mr. Trump is going to decrease that.
The White House wants $8 billion to purchase weapons for Ukraine and And $16 billion to replenish U.S. arms.
So you can see, just like Keir Starmer is insulting so many of those people who thought that maybe the government was taking their money to give them money in their old age as pensioners, now they can't understand why are our pensions being cut when you're sending billions of The Biden administration,
according to Dave DeCamp, who's absolutely great, has asked Congress to approve $24 billion in additional spending on Ukraine as it's working to ramp up the proxy war We're good to go.
That's expected to be voted on next month.
Two congressional aides said Congress received the proposal on Monday.
The request asked for $8 billion for the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative, a form of military aid that allows the U.S. to purchase weapons for Ukraine and $16 billion to replace U.S. military equipment that's been sent to Ukraine.
Boy, we are a long way away from Lexington and Concord, people's private weapons, even private cannons, being used in a militia of citizen military, aren't we?
A perpetual war machine With all sorts of weapons and money going to military industrial complex people, I guess Christmas is going to be good for them.
And now the new governor of New Hampshire, Kelly Ayotte, and I want to bring this up again.
You might have heard me mention this on Liberty Conspiracy.
She was on the board of BAE Systems, a defense contractor.
At the same time, she was on the board of Fox News, and she had the audacity to go on to Fox News to talk about how they needed to send more weapons to Ukraine.
And Fox News never once mentioned this massive, towering Olympus Mons conflict of interest.
Just stunning!
Absolutely amazing!
How far people have come from all of that original concept of a citizen militia, of smaller, decentralized government.
But this is where the underlying philosophical error of government is put on you for your protection comes in.
Because that opens the door.
If people are unwilling to call into question the aggressive nature of that very concept that people can tell you they can take your money for your protection, well then it opens the door to all of this stuff because they come up with all these different rationales that say it's for your protection.
It's for your health care protection.
It's for your protection against terrorism.
We've got to spy on you.
We've got to censor you for your protection.
We've got to take your money and give it to Ukrainians.
We've got to open up bioweapons plants in Ukraine with Barack Obama and Dick Lugar going there around 2005-2006 for your protection.
We've got to overthrow the government of Yanukovych for your protection.
We've got to support Israel because supposedly they're America's greatest ally for your protection.
When do you get to decide that?
You don't.
Because it's a protection racket.
Biden is just part of a long series of abuses, as Thomas Jefferson said, a long train of abuses.
And it continues, for your protection.
And there's more.
There's even more.
Let's get into some of the other items and talk about the worries that people have about Sebastian Gorka and what I brought up seems to be something that other people are recognizing as well.
Sebastian Gorka is...
A guy who seems quite risky and quite dangerous.
So let's discuss this man.
As I mentioned yesterday on the David Knight Show and on Liberty Conspiracy, I didn't even have any contact with him.
Years ago, I thought, oh, I think he might know some people from MRCTV. So I was at Twitter slash X and I went over and he had already blocked me.
Sebastian Gorka.
Well, worries about Sebastian Gorka, worries about Mike Huckabee, worries about others who are being put into the new Trump administration are arising.
Now, whether or not Trump is doing this to try to present a very strong front for negotiating purposes, I don't know.
But I'll tell you one thing.
I don't appreciate my money going to Sebastian Gorka now.
The man who already blocked me on Facebook now is going to get part of my paycheck?
And he has nonsense like we played yesterday to say?
Let's hear some other people who are concerned about this.
Judge Andrew Napolitano and Colonel Douglas McGregor.
And they put this well.
Here we go.
In-house national security advisor.
This is outlandish, but here it is.
Cut number 10.
I'll give one tip away that the president has mentioned.
He will say to that murderous former KGB colonel, that thug who runs the Russian Federation, you!
We'll negotiate now, or the aid that we have given to Ukraine thus far will look like peanuts.
That's how he will force those gentlemen to come to an arrangement that stops the bloodshed.
Now, before I go into more comments from the judge and Douglas McGregor, I want to bring up something I have not brought up previously previously.
On this commentary, from this comment from Mr. Now Security Advisor, former advisor to Donald Trump.
Mr. I know it all.
Listen to what he had to say here.
Because this, I think, is a perfect example of the all-inclusive, dangerous pronoun we.
And the idea of aid, like it's their choice.
Let's listen to this again.
National Security Advisor.
This is outlandish, but here it is.
Cut number 10. I'll give one tip away that the president has mentioned.
He will say to that murderous former KGB colonel, that thug who runs the Russian Federation, you will negotiate now for the aid that we have given.
Okay, let's stop there.
That's a very, very key point to bring up.
And to focus on Sebastian Gorka.
Mr. Gorka.
I mean, I'm sorry.
Professor Gorka.
He stresses that.
I don't know.
Maybe it's ego.
Maybe.
I don't know.
Sort of like Dr. Jill.
He says, the aid we have given...
The inherent fallacy at the heart of that is extremely important in my eyes.
Because it's the all-inclusive we.
It's the pronoun of forced inclusion.
It's the royal we.
You are part of it whether you like it or not.
But it's for your own good.
It's the, I'm embracing you whether you like it or not, and I'm calling it we, us.
What if I don't want to be embraced?
What if I don't want to be assaulted by you?
No, I'm sorry.
It's we.
And it's aid we are given.
As if he's somehow wonderfully beneficent.
It's he and Donald Trump are going to do this.
These great chess masters are going to be giving more aid.
We.
The aid we have given to Ukraine so far.
We.
We.
That itself, the insult of that to all of us is so manifest and it lies at the heart of everything politicians do.
They always say, America cares.
It's for your good.
We have done this.
We have done that.
No, there is no we.
There is no we in the polis.
It's a group of people telling other people what to do.
That's what it is.
And those other people who are forced to do it, You can't say that they gave their consent.
This, again, goes back to the point of the so-called war against all.
The state of war was something that John Locke said could be avoided by government.
What is the state?
It is constant threat of war against you if you don't comply.
There is no way around it.
It's inarguable.
And if anybody wants to argue about it, just try not complying sometime and see what happens.
See what people like this man will do under the flowery language, the poisonous flowers.
Of aid we have already given.
And then we will ramp it up.
The insult of that man to use that on a philosophical level and maybe not even realize it is stunning.
As he wags his tail like a tiger out there.
Just incredible.
And to think that all these years after Thanksgiving...
We can see these warmongers doing this sort of thing.
All these years after the pilgrims came over, they're doing this sort of thing.
Let's give one more quick item here for you.
Now, there supposedly is a ceasefire in Lebanon.
This is a big move.
Israeli cabinet, Lebanon's ceasefire announced to begin Tuesday at 9 p.m.
Eastern Standard Time.
Dave DeCamp discussed this article by Jason Ditz.
And I want to show you a little bit of what Dave had to say.
Hey, this is Dave DeCamp from Antiwar.com.
This is Antiwar News for Wednesday, November 27th, 2024. I'll write the first story at the top of antiwar.com today.
Lebanon's ceasefire goes into effect.
So this article is from Jason Ditz.
So at 9 p.m.
Eastern Time here in the United States, at 4 a.m.
Beirut time over in Lebanon, An Israel-Lebanon ceasefire officially took effect, potentially ending an ongoing Israeli invasion and repeated airstrikes which have killed thousands and displaced well over a million Lebanese civilians.
So this deal was brokered by the U.S. and the Israeli Security Cabinet voted earlier today, earlier on Tuesday, to support it.
This deal prescribes a 60-day ceasefire in which Hezbollah is to move its armed assets north of the Latani River, and the Lebanese government is supposed to deploy its army into the southern area of the country as a buffer between Israel and Hezbollah.
Israel, for their part, is supposed to withdraw their ground troops from southern Lebanon and to stop attacking Lebanese territory.
As far as I understand it, they're supposed to do that withdrawal within this 60-day time frame.
We've been talking a lot about how Israel was demanding that they have freedom to act in Lebanon if they determine that Hezbollah has violated the ceasefire.
Under this deal, according to these reports, There's a mechanism that if Israel sees suspicious movements of Hezbollah, they're supposed to report it to some US-led committee.
The US is overseeing this ceasefire, even though they're Israel's strongest and biggest ally.
It's not like they're a neutral party, but there's some mechanism where Israel's supposed to tell the US about it, and then the US tells the Lebanese military about it, and then if They determine, if the US and Israel determine that they didn't do enough about it, then Israel would be free to take action.
Still, that gives Israel, it seems like, a lot of leeway with this ceasefire.
So, the immediate question now, with this ceasefire coming into effect, of course, is this thing going to hold?
Is Israel actually going to pull out, or are they just looking to create some sort of calm for a little while?
There was a statement issued by the Israeli military's Arabic language spokesman.
He said that after the ceasefire went into effect, he warned Lebanese civilians against attempting to return to their homes in the evacuation zones, saying the prohibition is still in effect, saying that they can't return to their homes yet.
So that's not a good sign.
I still haven't seen any official word from Hezbollah That they've agreed to the deal, but it does seem like, I mean, based on what we've seen today, it seems like they must have.
But now, again, Israel really ramped up airstrikes, I mean, all day throughout Tuesday.
They were like...
Really bombing Beirut, areas of central Beirut that they didn't really target too much over the past year.
And they also, you know, right before the ceasefire went effect, like a couple hours before, they bombed eastern Lebanon and they carried out multiple attacks on north Lebanon on its border crossings into Syria.
They've already taken out the border crossings in eastern Lebanon, you know, but this is in northern Lebanon where they took out.
They were bombing these border crossings and they've all been closed now because of that.
So I want to pause there, everybody, because I reported on this a little while ago.
The number of refugees who have fled not just Gaza or attempted to flee Gaza, but have fled Lebanon and gone into Syria is stunning.
But amazingly, the United States government, yes, they just bombed Syria.
You got it.
The US military announced Tuesday that it launched a strike in Syria.
But, you know, there's a declared war, right?
Oh, I'm sorry.
That hasn't happened since World War II. Yeah, against a so-called Iranian-aligned target.
An Iranian-aligned target.
Now, don't forget how trustworthy so many of these people are.
In government.
They don't mention what I brought up before and I showed yesterday in the newsflash that Hamas gets all this criticism from the West that they're a terrorist organization.
We hear Pamela Bondi saying people who are saying that they support Hamas on college campuses.
The FBI should investigate those people, right?
In fact, we can show some of that in just a little bit.
But it's amazing to think that they seem to blithely forget, conveniently overlook, the fact that the Israeli government supported Hamas and so did the United States with millions of dollars to the leadership living in Qatar.
How does that comport with, oh, you can't support Hamas, otherwise you're supporting terrorists?
I don't get it.
But of course, we've got the United States, after they tried to overthrow Assad numerous times, made up all sorts of stories about Assad using chemical weapons against his own people, which was obviously bogus.
And even Barack Obama had to back down from that because students at MIT proved that the chemical weapons weren't fired by Assad and weren't the type of chemicals that Assad had.
This during the Obama administration.
Now the U.S. is bombing Iranian so-called aligned targets in Syria.
Yeah, it's all about trying to go after Iran, as Lindsey Graham said, the day of October 7th.
Now we got to take this, take care of this.
Nikki Haley, take them out, finish it.
In other words, go after Iran.
It's just crazy.
They already put Iraq up against Iran.
How about leaving those people alone?
How about not supporting Israel in its attempts to assassinate Iranians?
How about Donald Trump not assassinating Iranians?
How about not making up stories coming from John Brennan about Iranian assassins trying to kill Donald Trump, which is ridiculously fabulistic and stupid.
The US military announced on Tuesday that it launched a strike in Syria against an Iranian-aligned target, marking at least the third time this month the US has bombed Syria.
Does that at all conform to any traditional concept of what George Washington said?
It's just the contemporary cesspool of politics and these characters and these people driving these decisions and the way that they have set up The structure of people's careers being in the military and being connected to the funding and all these things.
Next paragraph is a great example.
U.S. Central Command, CENTCOM, said the strike targeted an Iranian-aligned militia weapons storage facility.
They just said it.
Yeah, we just went and did it.
You're not supposed to do that!
It's such an insult to all of you out there.
It's just amazing how they think they can get away with stuff.
But good people like Dave DeCamp at Anti-War, they're doing really good work.
I want to thank the Anti-War folks.
I got a call from Angela Keaton a few weeks ago talking about how they were doing their fundraiser.
I've known Angela for a long time.
And she's sort of behind the scenes in Antiwar.
And you can follow Antiwar at Antiwar.com on X. Dave DeCamp is at DeCamp Dave, D-E-C-A-M-P Dave.
You can follow Dave DeCamp.
And then there's Antiwar News.
You can follow at Antiwar News.
And I think Angela is sort of one of the people behind the Antiwar News X feed.
I think it's worthwhile to keep all that in mind as we look at one final bit, a couple final bits.
I want to compliment Katie Halper because she was in a conversation with Piers Morgan, one of the guys from the Jewish Defense Forces who actually is connected with war crimes.
And he's just unbelievably disturbing to see this guy.
And Alan Dershowitz.
And I played this last night on Liberty Conspiracy because Katie Halper, she's very well known for people who watch Aaron Maté.
She's more on the left-wing side.
She's well known for people who are fans of The Grey Zone.
She's been a great reporter for a long time for anti-war stuff.
She's Jewish.
And the stories she's covered have been remarkable, and she really, really laid into Alan Dershowitz with an absolutely fantastic job.
And then, well, we're going to look at a new revelation about Ben Shapiro and Candace Owen, which I think you might find interesting, and show a final bit about America's involvement in the Middle East on video.
Yes, they seem to capture Their involvement a lot.
Let's check this out.
I think you might find this interesting.
Katie Halper appearing on the Piers Morgan show.
I think that the claim that any criticism, any and all criticism of Israel is anti-Semitic is a total obvious weaponization of anti-Semitism.
It's pathetic.
It's dangerous.
It harms Jews like me.
Nobody ever says that.
Excuse me, Alan.
You always interrupt people because you're a bully.
Please be quiet.
It's Is Theodore Mehran an anti-Semite, the Holocaust survivor who was on the committee advising the arrest warrants, is he an anti-Semite, who used to be an ambassador for Israel?
The other thing is that, of course, you don't want to hear that Israel's committing war crimes.
And you bring up the fact that under the ICC arrest warrants, by that logic, the U.S. could be tried for committing war crimes.
Well, guess what?
They should be.
Because, of course, they committed war crimes.
Of course, they committed war crimes in Iraq.
That's the point.
You brought it up yourself.
All right, right there.
She nails it.
Of course they committed war crimes in Iraq.
They should be.
Absolutely right.
We'll continue.
And watch Alan Dershowitz and his response.
Again, an ad hominem attack, not going into any of the facts or upholding any of the standards that a person who's supposedly involved with the law, I hope, would want to uphold.
But she nails it.
Of course they committed war crimes in Iraq.
You brought it up yourself.
This is an attack against America.
This is an attack against America, he says.
This is an attack against America.
As I mentioned on my show, ask John Kiriakou about that.
Why don't you ask John Kiriakou?
His life destroyed because he revealed the war crimes that That we were forced to pay to have done, Mr. Dershowitz.
This is supposedly one of America's greatest attorneys.
And Katie Halper wipes the floor with this man and everybody else except this guy who also understands.
You'll see him nodding to what she's saying.
He agrees with Katie.
This is an attack against America.
As if that's disqualifying.
But also, Alan's numbers about civilians are totally made up.
There's no evidence of this.
90% of the victims of Israel's crimes against humanity have been women and children.
And, Jonathan, you are shaking your head.
How old are the children?
How old are the children?
Can you believe it?
Again, his response.
He says, how old are the children?
And I'll bring this up as I brought it up on Liberty Conspiracy.
If you look into the history of what Israel has done to the Palestinians during this multi-decades, multi-generational occupation imposed by Western elites and U.S. tax money, British tax money, You'll see that every year they have rounded up hundreds of people,
held them without any due process in any way whatsoever, tortured them, which Katie will bring up, raped them, which Katie will bring up as far as the military goes.
But prior to October 7th, Netanyahu was cited for that sort of thing, done to, in some cases, women and kids as young as 14. And they just, in Israel, they just passed an allowance to arrest and hold kids who were 13, which they were already doing, essentially.
But now they've explicitly said they can do it.
To support forcing my neighbor to pay for any of this stuff is already a baseline no-no.
Whatever side one wants to pick.
But when you look at the sheer preponderance of the evidence, there is no possible way that anyone with any sense of moral dignity can say, I want to force my neighbor to pay for Israel.
The state of Israel.
As David Knight has said, the state, the political Israel, is different than Israel in the Bible, than the biblical Israel.
The state is not people.
The state is an entity created by To propel certain individuals and their ideas.
It's not the individuals themselves who are forced to be part of it.
Now, if someone is living in Israel in that occupied area And they've moved there willingly.
There's a problem.
If you're born there, what do you do after all these years?
Ethically, I would get out.
I'd say, I'm leaving this place.
I was born into an occupied area where I'm part of the occupation now.
I've been put into it.
But then that gets us thinking about the United States, American Indians, all that stuff.
Very complicated.
Here's more.
I would be upset if I were you because you've been implicated on war crimes yourself.
You lied about Al-Shifa Hospital.
You claimed it was a Hamad stronghold.
You were debunked by...
So now she's talking to this man.
I want to go back because they had a little cut there.
She's talking to that man from the IDF. He's a spokesman for the IDF. And he is one of the most unctuous characters I've seen for a long time.
You claimed it was a Hamad stronghold.
You were debunked by the BBC... So she's talking about the Al-Shifa Hospital, right?
...the Hamas stronghold.
You were debunked by the BBC, Fox News, and The Washington Post, all of which they did not provide the evidence.
Not only do I claim it, I stand by it, and there's ample proof of it.
And the difference between you and I is that I was on the ground.
Can you let me finish, please?
I know you guys are bullies.
Okay, Jonathan, I'll let you respond after she's finished.
So you've been implicated in two war crimes.
One is you defended you of the launch derivation order on October 9th when you went on Twitter Live and you defended it and you called them beasts.
You called Palestinian beasts.
The other thing is you lied about El Shifa Hospital.
And what happened then?
First of all, you lied.
But second of all, I'm going to be charitable and say you didn't lie.
Let's say everything you found, even though we know you edited the video and we know this because the BBC, Fox News and Washington Post all said that, But even if the things that you had found had been there, it would have been a war crime.
Why?
Because in order to justify the exception to violating a hospital, you have to prove that it's an active terrorist center, which you didn't prove, even with the fake evidence you provided.
The other thing is you have to use proportionality no matter what, or else it's a war crime.
You absolutely did not use proportionality when you killed hundreds of thousands of people.
You executed them.
you turned off hundreds of thousands okay So I'll close that there because, of course, there's a lot of bickering back and forth.
And the one area where I would ask her for amplification, if I could get it from Katie, would be the hundreds of thousands.
There are estimates of the number of people who have been named and killed is much lower than the number that they estimate overall has been killed inside Gaza.
And then we can add Lebanon and Beirut to that now, in addition to people being killed in Syria.
By both the United States and Israel using United States weapons most likely.
But there are a couple points that I want to bring up there.
If we go back in history, it's probably hundreds of thousands.
If we go back beyond October 7th.
But the estimate is about 115,000 people killed.
Including named and unnamed.
Because there's so many people beneath the rubble.
They haven't been identified.
They're just body parts.
They don't even know who they are.
It is just unbelievable what's going on.
So, Katie Helper, just a great, great job from Katie Helper.
Excellent stuff.
And I admire the fact that she calls these people out and she has such alacrity and facility with the facts to be able to remember all that stuff and hit that IDF guy to say, you know, you went into the Al Shifa hospital.
And here is the actual standard, and you didn't even reach that standard.
But if we look at war crimes, we have to talk about proportionality.
Even that, you didn't use proportionality, you engaged in war crimes.
There's no way out for those people.
Absolutely no way out.
The only way out, of course, is that the U.S. government will just keep giving them weapons, which is exactly what Benjamin Netanyahu wants.
That's, I think, why he's going to have this so-called ceasefire with Lebanon, so they can concentrate until maybe sometime the first week of January and clearing out as many of the people that they can in Gaza.
It's just incredible to think.
And then they've got the effrontery to say, well, why don't these other countries take the refugees?
Are you from that other country?
Seriously?
You're going to say that?
Finally, let's take a quick look at something that's been revealed that I think is pretty darn valuable.
Two things, actually.
First, let's take a look at this one.
This from Anya Powerpill.
She is Max Blumenthal's wife.
He's from the Gray Zone.
She has a lot of great journalism behind her and a book about the United States involvement in Venezuela.
This is a quote that she's pulled from Rabbi Shmuley.
The also unctuous character in the United States pushing for the United States to hand more weapons to Israel.
She says, this is a quote from the rabbi.
We forced Ben to fire her.
Talking about Candace Owens.
Got her banned and demonetized from YouTube.
Banned from Australia.
That is what Rabbi Shmuley is claiming.
He's patting himself on the back.
And finally, I'd like to give you this.
This is an image indicting himself on your dime.
This is a United States soldier from the 7020th Battalion firing at Palestinian homes in Gaza.
Check this out.
Khaleesi has this.
And he's celebrating whose victory?
This is not a good harbinger for the future.
This is on the occasion of Donald Trump's presidency.
God bless America!
God bless Israel!
I don't even know what to say.
It's just...
It's so perverse.
It's so upside down.
I can't even...
It just...
Words fail me, I think.
Just unbelievable.
What are you doing, dude?
What are you doing?
How do you come up with a rationale for that?
I just don't get it.
And as I said, in the meantime, you've got good people like him trying to do good work.
You've got good people like Scott Horton talking about what's going on in Ukraine.
You know?
I don't know.
It's just weird.
Peace-loving people versus...
I don't know.
Crazy stuff.
Crazy stuff.
But let's take a break.
Here's some good music.
And come back and think about Thanksgiving.
And think about the blessings that are out there and some of the principles that we already saw expressed through some of the folks who came over on the Mayflower and celebrated that first Thanksgiving in the eyes of God.
And in fact, let's get another wonderful musical piece from the David Knight Show and David Knight's great talent as he reworked The Patriot and what a fantastic theme from John Williams and, Of course, the interpretation from David Knight on The David Knight Show.
The David Knight Show
The David Knight Show
The David Knight Show
The David Knight Show Liberty.
It's your move.
And now, The David Knight Show.
Fantastic stuff.
Again, I haven't seen that Patriot movie.
I wanted to see it.
I like Mel Gibson's work.
I saw Apocalypto on a plane.
I didn't even put it on myself.
It was in the aisle across from me.
My eyes kept getting drawn to it.
And since it's in a different language and had subtitles, I could just keep glancing over at it.
Wow!
And of course, you know...
So many of his other movies are so wonderful.
So terrific stuff.
And I want to thank a contributor for the David Knight program.
We already had Carlos Rex and Mark Young contribute to the program over on Rockfin.
So thank you, Mark.
And look at some of the comments from people on Rockfin.
And I want to welcome everybody who's watching.
I'm Gardner Goldsmith filling in for David as...
He takes some time off to be with the family for Thanksgiving.
And I saw Michael Pomeroy said, good morning, guard.
And Dusty Milton said, good morning.
Steve Swan, of course, is in there coming in from Maine.
Nancy Chambers says, happy Thanksgiving, guard and all.
Jason Barker, of course, was in there earlier.
Dougalug, Inside Rockfin.
And IRS Machine Gun.
Good morning.
Thank you, IRS Machine Gun.
Boy, what a great group of people.
Wes Robertson, Yona.
Yona is there saying, Happy Thanksgiving.
OctoSpook coming in.
And I see IQMicrodot.
Thank you very much for being there, everybody.
And over at Rumble, let's see what's going on over at Rumble.com.
And welcome you over there as well.
Please share the videos, like and subscribe and all that stuff.
Give it the thumbs up as often as you can.
I want to thank 12th of June, 1776. And oh, hey, you know what?
You're in a very good theme.
You're in a very good theme.
Yes.
Quoting the Bible.
For I have come to turn a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.
A man's enemies will be the members of his own household.
Jesus.
Yep.
And we've got a quote that I'm going to bring up, in fact, as we introduce our next guest.
Since it's Thanksgiving, I want to do something right now.
Bring in our guest, a man who was very courageous and And really did a great job for many people in the military to try to make sure that they could find a way out of the jab.
He found a religious exemption, wrote about it, and after that, of course, has been part of the David Knight audience.
The family started Nights of the Storm with Angry Tiger, has his own show called The Foxhole.
He is none other than Then Jason Parker.
Hi, Jason, and happy Thanksgiving early, buddy.
How are you?
I'm good at Thanksgiving.
You're so kind on the intro, guard.
Hey, no problem, man.
No problem.
You know, I always love watching your show.
It's just great.
And, you know, just communicating with you by phone and text, it's always heartwarming.
So I want to send the best to you and your family.
Your grandkids, amazingly, you've got grandkids.
It's just crazy.
You look like you're in your 20s.
It's just bizarre.
And again, welcome to the David Knight Show.
We decided that today we'd talk a little bit about Thanksgiving and family and faith and things like that.
Do you mind if I put up a Bible quote?
You often do this on your program, and I thought...
I got one here as well that I'll quote here.
All right.
I'll put this up here.
This is from Blue Letter Bible.
And this is actually from today.
They have this.
We're going to add this to the stage here.
And it says this.
Thank you, guys.
It says, These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace.
In the world ye shall have tribulation.
But be of good cheer.
I have overcome the world.
That from John.
And Jason, what do you have to offer?
Well, I wanted to talk about Thanksgiving and how it pertains to forgiving.
That's going to be a new tradition for me.
Every Thanksgiving, I reflect on the past year and when people have done me wrong or whatever, find a way to forgive them in my heart.
I'm not saying not to hold people accountable.
I'm not saying that at all.
I've had some things happen this past year where I've really been wronged and I've been holding that in my heart.
It's hard to be thankful when you have anger.
As a Christian, the greatest thing I have to be thankful for is for the sacrifice that Christ made.
And he did that to forgive me.
So I think thanksgiving and forgiving go hand in hand.
And if I could quote Matthew 6 verses 14 and 15,"...for if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.
But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses." So I think it's critical that we have that spirit of forgiveness in us.
Again, you've got to hold people accountable.
With Trump, I'm not going to hold any hatred to Trump for what I went through in the military because that was directly due to him.
I'm not going to hold hatred for the military.
And when I let that go, I can then be thankful for what the military has given to me And still continue, you know, have a retirement and all that stuff.
So you can't really see those things to be thankful for if you're holding hatred is what I'm trying to get at.
That's a great point.
That's a great point.
You know, I think we can call people to task, feel anger and frustration, but at the same time, hope that they will find redemption.
And then, of course, try to find some way to To find a way to say, I'm going to use this to inform myself and not hold on to hatred.
Right.
Very good.
Yeah, and I really like, you know, Tiger, you had Tiger on yesterday.
He said a lot of profound things and I really love his philosophy of time being your most valuable commodity.
Yeah.
You know, if we, you know, time keeps on slipping into the future, and we don't want to let the days go by.
I know you know those music references, right?
Absolutely.
Little Steve Miller.
I want to fly like an eagle.
But it's so true.
Yeah, if we're holding, if we're letting people live rent-free in our hearts and our heads, we're wasting time.
You know, and, you know, you don't want to hoard your time either, you know, like it's a commodity, but you don't hoard it because it is slipping by, right?
So rather than use the time to have hatred and bitterness, go do something.
And I got a quick story I'd like to share with you, how your life can be more fulfilled by, you know...
You know, doing something kind.
So I was going up.
I took little JJ up to the mailbox yesterday.
He likes to ride in the wagon behind the mower.
And we get about a quarter mile stretch of gravel road where all the mailboxes are.
So as I'm coming back, somebody had dropped off three little puppies, just abandoned them.
And this was a pretty busy time.
People were coming home from work and going out to dinner and stuff.
So a lot of traffic right there and people were slowing down.
It was all bottlenecked around this really dangerous kind of blind curve.
So I couldn't really stop and get them at that time.
And it just kind of dawned on me that, you know, people are busy with their time and they're not taking the time to do something kind.
They just kind of went around the dogs and got out of there.
Don't worry about it, whatever.
So I get the mower back to the house.
I put JJ inside.
I come out and I'm walking down the road to try and get these dogs to follow me.
Well, lo and behold, my neighbor, two houses down from me, had picked him up and brought him to her house.
As I was walking by, she's pulling him out of the truck and I said, oh, you found him.
So she's like, yeah, I'm going to see if I can find out who owns them or whatever.
She only had two.
And I said, you know, there was three, right?
So she said no.
So she comes over to my house.
I put him in my workshop where it's heated in there.
Yeah.
Got him some water and stuff.
And she went back and got the third one, brought him back.
But long story short, I made a better relationship with my neighbor's daughter.
I know her now.
We worked together.
We brought the puppies in.
My grandson got to play with the puppies.
So there's so many great rewards in actually spending your time doing something for someone else.
Yeah, yeah.
And you know, Jason, it's interesting you should bring that up because, you know, my sister...
Is currently visiting with our neighbor.
You might have heard me mention this.
About a year ago, around this time, I went down and visited with my neighbors, the Driscolls.
And, you know, they were the parents of kids who were about my brother and sister's age.
But I was seven years my brother's junior, five years my sister's junior.
And they would let me tag along.
And there was another family who had kids that were sort of It's their age plus my age.
So we would all be in this big group and they would let me, you know, do things with them sometimes, you know, go sledding and so on.
And we would be around the house playing wiffle ball or softball or whatever, flashlight tag, you know, that sort of thing.
And Mrs. Driscoll was always there.
We'd go in the house, she'd be giving us SpaghettiOs or apple pie or whatever it was, you know.
And so, We had gotten a call from her daughter because...
Well, actually, we went down a little bit before that just to say hello.
I said hello to Mr. and Mrs. Driscoll just to say hi.
And he was going to go in for heart surgery.
And I didn't know that.
I just went to say hello.
And he was a great artist, Mr. Driscoll.
And he had done little cartoons of us as kids playing.
And we had a dog named Snowball, who was just a wonderful dog.
She stayed by my side after I broke my arm sledding across the woods, over streams, over barbed wire fences and stone wall fences.
I had to go back through the woods.
My dog stayed by my side the whole time.
I thought I was going to get sick to my stomach.
I had to sit down on the stone wall.
She was there the whole time.
Snowball.
Snowball is in some of those little sketches, running with us.
And it was amazing.
Mr. Driscoll went in for the heart surgery, and unfortunately, a number of, probably about a month and a half later, he passed away.
And so Mrs. Driscoll is by herself.
They were in their 90s.
They've been married for decades and decades and decades and decades, you know?
And So I continued the contact with Mrs. Driscoll.
And my sister's down there right now bringing her some pumpkin bread.
And, you know, he was the guy.
We went to his funeral or to his memorial service at a local church.
And they asked if anyone else wanted to get up and speak.
And I had been in the audience watching, and I thought about how Mr. Driscoll, when he knew that there was a new street being put in behind their old farmhouse and so on and so forth, he knew that he could create a little path, and there were already some paths in the woods Some cow paths, old stone walls and things like that.
He used his lawnmower to create a path between our house and their house because he knew there were going to be kids and we could start to play.
So I said, I got up and I spoke and I said, you know, Mr. Driscoll was kind enough to use his lawnmower to create a path on which we could walk.
And I said, but Mr. Driscoll already knew that there was a path that Christ gave to us.
And so he had already seen a path that had been laid out for him.
And I don't know why the thought came to my mind, but what you're talking about of forgiveness, that's a major part of walking on that path.
To be able to go along that route to say, God laid this path of peace out there for me.
And if I keep walking this path, everything is going to be okay.
Because it's not about the material world.
It's about my salvation, my soul, and trying to help others save their souls.
So I think that's very interesting that you should bring up that quote and you should look at it that way.
It's also interesting, Jason, because...
You know, you were in the midst of a pretty heavy battle in the military to try to come up with a religious exemption against the jab.
And you could hold resentment for a lot of those folks, but you find the positives in being with your family.
You're out of the military now.
And all these people that we've met, because we've been associated with David Knight here, it's amazing, isn't it?
Well, you know, yeah, it was rough.
And I got to understand and empathize.
A lot of those folks did not want to get the jab.
And I guess they feel I gamed the system.
So they had resentment towards me.
You know, so I feel empathy.
And that's why they treated me badly.
You know, not everybody treated me badly.
Some people was like, man, I wish I would have stuck it out.
You know, especially when the mandate went away finally.
And they realized that they didn't have to get the jabs.
And they all said that they don't work.
We know it doesn't work.
We know the mask doesn't work.
But they went along to get along.
So some people really held resentment towards me because I wasn't doing what they were forced to do.
And, you know, I empathize with them.
Now that I can forgive them, I can actually pray for them that, you know, They don't get sick, and I don't want any hatred towards them whatsoever.
And think about this.
When it comes to forgiveness, think about how many families during this time of year won't get together because there's some kind of issue between them.
Oh, wouldn't that be terrible?
Yeah, what happens all the time, you know, they have political differences or maybe they feel differently about COVID. You know, COVID really exacerbated the problem by making us all shut in.
So it's easier to say, I'm not going over to Aunt Mary's this year for Thanksgiving dinner.
And besides, she's a Trump supporter or, you know, that kind of stuff.
Let's just put that stuff aside.
Forgive them.
Understand people.
I don't know.
You just don't let them live rent free in your heart because you're wasting your time.
And your time, as Tiger says, it's your most valuable asset, you know?
Yeah, yeah.
And I remember the first time I heard Tiger say that, I'm like, boy, that is exactly right.
And sometimes I've sort of traveled along those lines where I think about that and how important it is.
And you think about, you know, your relationships with people and if you can sort of step up and approach somebody.
And you don't even have to explicitly say I'm sorry for quite a while.
You can just start talking to them and then, you know, get comfortable with it and say, hey, you know, months later, you can even say, hey, you know, for a long time, I want to mention to you, I'm real sorry about that or whatever.
Sometimes that's a more comfortable way to do it.
Let's take a look at some of the comments from people, Jason.
Inside Rumble, Rockfin on X. I see that we have inside Rumble Land, the fruit stripe gum colors of Rumble, watching the David Knight show.
And people are talking about Cthulhu.
But we have...
I've got one here, guard.
Yes.
Matthew Ronson.
That's why I keep looking up.
I've got a screen up here with my chat.
Yes, yes.
He says, how do you forgive when they do not repent slash acknowledge they were wrong?
Well, I think that you forgive them anyway.
Like I said, you hold people accountable.
But that's on them.
They're going to hold that hatred in their heart if they want.
You don't have to.
Yeah.
Yeah, so...
Yeah, that's something to work out.
It's an interesting balance to mention that you've got to be held accountable for my purposes and for what Christ says.
I forgive you, but in order for your soul, you have to ask forgiveness of God.
And I hope that you will acknowledge your mistakes and ask forgiveness from other people, at least.
Because as far as your integrity goes, your reputation amongst other people, that's very, very important.
And it also allows you to feel like you've done the right thing for those other people as well.
That's part of it in the eyes of others.
And I think that was a great question from Matthew.
There's a related one here, Bart.
This is actually a good follow-up.
Britt273674 says, In order to forgive, the offending behavior must stop first.
I would agree with that.
I really had a hard time while I was in the military But now that I don't have to be in that situation anymore, I had to let it go.
But yeah, it could be very difficult.
It's kind of like war.
How do you stop shooting at the enemy until they stop charging you?
But once the war is over, it needs to be over.
So that is a good point.
Very good point.
Yeah, it's, you know, sort of like the story from World War I with the soldiers taking a break for Christmas, exchanging gifts and so on, then going back to fight each other.
Just so tragic and difficult to even assess, you know.
I noticed Bulldog, I was reading it wrong, Bulldog, B-U-L-L-L-D-A-A-G-G, so B-L-L-D-A-A-G-G says, the Bible is God's inspired word.
Yeah, so right.
And also some questions, some points about Gorka that maybe I can check out.
I might have scrolled past that a little bit.
But I also want to check out Rockfin and see what folks are saying on Rockfin, as well as I see Karen Carpenter.
Thank you, Karen.
Contributed to the David Knight Show at $10.
And I think that, you know, it's interesting, Jason, because as the holidays come around, people talk about Celebrating Christmas.
David Knight brought this up.
Christmas isn't even really on Christmas Day.
It's based on a pagan holiday.
It has these pagan trappings and so on.
I've spoken with Tiger about this as the descendant of pagans from the Irish and maybe Germanic English.
I have to recognize that there are certain attributes to the ways that the pagans operated, in some cases, in ancient Irish culture, the Brehon Law, in the tribal systems, in the families, in the recognitions, that are not alien to peaceful coexistence that are not alien to peaceful coexistence and that I admire.
The fact that they were not Christians is something that I understand.
And the fact that I can be a Christian and still recognize those traditions.
I still celebrate Christmas at Christmastime.
We still have a Christmas tree.
I understand that.
And hopefully I'm not doing something that is insulting God and insulting Christ by incorporation of that pagan style in the celebration of Christ's birth.
What do you think about that?
I think Christ's birth should be celebrated every single day.
So it doesn't really matter to me what day we set aside to say we're going to take some time as a family and do this together.
I don't know.
Kind of like, you know, the whole Halloween thing and the Christmas tree.
You know, that's more for the kids.
I don't think it's that big of a deal as long as you teach them what it's really about.
And that's how my grandma was.
My grandma taught me, you know, God rest her soul.
She told me when I was very young that Christmas wasn't on Christmas Day.
And she had a very good logic behind it.
She says, okay, so you got these baby animals in a manger.
What time of What season are they born?
So that would indicate maybe springtime or something.
She had a specific day in mind.
And I've seen some scientific evidence on it as well.
When you talk about the Wiseman following the star, they actually now with 3D modeling and the astrology thing, they can roll back time.
And they figured out, I can't remember, it was a planet, I believe is what they say the star was, that it rose and went down because of the movement of the planets.
And they kind of pinpointed the exact day, or within a day or two, of when they believe Christ was born.
But to me, that doesn't really matter.
It's kind of like, you should be thankful every single day for Christ's sacrifice.
You should reflect on it every single day.
And if it's just one day, it's kind of like President's Day.
Just pick a day, right?
Yeah.
Yeah.
And I think that it is nice that it's still a tradition in our country, even though a lot of people don't really understand what it's about.
I think it's nice as a tradition that the entire nation kind of celebrates together.
You know, you bring it up to me and you remind me that over the years, I also have tempered my position on I like the Christmas tree and things and the glitter and so on.
That's nice.
But I sort of take the same attitude when I look at the material world around me on a very low-key basis every day.
I always remind myself that that is the work of God and Every day, it doesn't matter because Christ is still here with us.
He always was and always will be.
The idea that God is here with us right now as we speak, watching us and created us.
Is incredibly important to remember.
And yet I can keep it sort of at a low key level each day.
And in a way, it is a way to celebrate Christmas Day because every day Christ is there.
He's eternal.
So when we talk about the birth of Christ on earth, we have to remember that God is eternal in the first place.
So why not eternally all the time, remember that and celebrate the existence of God every day.
That's a very good point, Jason.
That's an excellent point.
What do you like to do?
Oh, sorry.
Go ahead.
Oh, I was going to say about the tree and some of the traditions we do that may have history people aren't aware of.
I know people don't do it anymore, but when I was a kid, we would take the car out somewhere, walk off into the woods and go cut a tree down.
And that was a family activity.
We would come home, put the tree up.
The kids and everybody would decorate the tree.
We would put the lights on it.
And then we would take the popcorn and needle and thread and make the whatever, I don't know what you call it, whatever the thing that goes around the tree.
Yeah, garland, popcorn, garland, tinsel, tinsel.
Yeah, we didn't have the tinsel stuff.
We would get popcorn and thread it on and put it around the tree and we would hang candy canes on the tree.
It was a fun family activity, even putting the lights up, the years that we did put lights up on the front of the house or whatever, we did that together.
So I think there's a lot to be said about Don't get wrapped up in, as Tiger would say, the minutia of things and where the history came from.
Get wrapped up in spending time together.
I know people don't do that anymore, but that whole season was about togetherness and family.
Again, we celebrate Christ every single day, but there's a special time set aside where we do it as a nation, and then we take some time off work and spend time with the family doing those activities.
We have one of these trees now that you just snap it together, and it's got the lights built in.
I don't know.
There's not really a lot of fun in that.
So maybe when JJ gets older, we'll go traditional, and I'll take him out in the woods and cut down a tree, bring it home.
Yeah.
Yeah, that's something – And, you know, if you think about the little parts of that, you know, oftentimes for Thanksgiving, our family will go out for a walk or something like that, which is always fun to do.
It's brisk.
It's cool.
It's fun.
But to go out for a hike with a purpose with somebody else, especially a youngster, to do a certain thing.
So it combines going for a walk out in nature and a project you're working on together.
And bringing something back as a piece of an achievement or something for the family to do.
What beautiful, beautiful memories, Jason.
You know, just fantastic.
And we used to do the same thing.
Some days the light would be failing.
You just get there and you've got to cut your tree down and you can't really see that well.
And you just get it as twilight is coming in.
You tie it to the roof of the car and you're ready to go.
Or you put it in the trunk.
You have to Put the seat down and strap it all together, you know?
You can smell the exhaust coming through the back of the car, that sort of thing.
Everything's fine, you know?
We had an old Volvo that actually had a hole in the floor underneath the gas pedal or the clutch that my mom had.
We had to keep trying to close it up so the exhaust wouldn't come through from the old Volvo, you know?
Or water wouldn't splash up, you know?
But it was fun.
It was so much fun.
And for Thanksgiving, what are you planning for Thanksgiving, Jason?
We're just going to have dinner here.
And I think the neighbor invited us over.
We might spend a little bit of time over there.
And my aunt lives in Springfield.
I don't know if they're planning to do something.
I got to get a hold of her, but we've spent a couple of Thanksgivings there.
But I hadn't got word.
Usually the entire family tries to meet somewhere, either my mom's house or my aunt's house.
But I haven't heard anything.
Again, the COVID kind of like shut everything down.
Everyone's a shut in now.
And I think that's by design, to break our traditions and make us isolated.
I just, it hasn't been the same.
We really need to get into that spirit of forgiveness and togetherness and start, you know, and they're going to pull it again.
I mean, if you take a look at Trump's, I don't want to get too political, but a lot of Trump's picks, right, his cabinet picks, they're pro-vaccine, they're make America healthy again is just going to be a beard to sell vaccines.
The vaccine because, oh, we got to be healthy.
We have to take this.
I mean, look, JD Vance, he owns stock in a lot of the pharmaceuticals.
Quite a few of his people own stock in pharmaceuticals.
Why would they shut down their revenue?
Yeah, and wasn't Mr. Doge...
Vivek Ramashwamy's company not only involved with DeWine on the jab tracking program, but he had a company that was involved with the lipid nanoparticle for the delivery system for the mRNA, wasn't it?
Yeah, yeah.
Dr. Jane Ruby's covered this extensively.
She hammers it all the time.
And then I looked into JD Vance's myself because she had mentioned that he was into the pharmaceutical thing.
And I believe one of the companies, I can't think of the name of it off the top of my head, But is into this self-amplifying mRNA.
And that's something that Karen Carpenter and I, we were planning a, what is it, medical industrial complex?
Yeah.
We're going to cover like the gamut.
Oh, and your coverage has been excellent, especially as you start to reveal stuff, information about the self-amplifying mRNA.
And, you know, there's been a question as far as whether or not people can get jab, sloth-off, you know, shedding of the spike protein.
That's bad enough.
That can harm people.
And that seems to be evident, as you've seen with some of the women around you.
And I think that that caused me some problems as well.
But then there's the added question of whether or not the actual mRNA disease The so-called vaccine, the jab, can be spread from person to person already through sweat or blood or milk or something like that to a person who didn't get injected.
And so I've worried about that.
I don't think that that happened to me, but with the self-amplifying, that is a really strong possibility.
It would spread like a virus.
That's exactly what we're going to talk about, and I think that that will happen.
And the problem with it is...
Yeah.
get one of those buggers in you and that's it.
And even your attenuated live virus vaccines, your traditional vaccines, those they have known, I got a document I'll be going over, They have known that those shed the actual vaccine onto people.
And they considered, again, not a bug, but a feature because people who didn't opt to get the vaccine are getting a little bit of the vaccine against their will, unknowingly.
And they say that contributes to herd immunity.
So I think that's what they're trying to do with this self-amplifying.
And what's really scary is they just, last month, approved it in Japan.
I know the people were up in arms about it.
There was a protest about it.
Several doctors came out and said, hey, this is like the World War III of medicine.
It's going to ruin humanity.
Just because it's in Japan, how do I know that I don't go to a restaurant and someone just came from Japan?
And it's not like, you know, with the spike protein shedding, that's for like a couple weeks after they were jabbed, right?
The shedding was an issue.
And I have paperwork on that too, where they actually knew that.
And they had standards on researching how long the shedding would occur.
But when you're talking about self-amplifying, it's continuing to make more.
It's like you're continually getting boosted.
So that two weeks is, it's not two weeks, it's like forever.
So if somebody comes into a restaurant and sits next to me and coughs or something, there's a good possibility that they could, you know, months after they were vaccinated, that they came from Japan, sat down, whatever, they might get me vaccinated.
And even a little bit, it may take some time, but it will exponentially grow.
That's the theory anyway.
I don't know.
I got to look more into it.
There's just not enough studies to see what it's going to do.
Oh, I think that's a really, really solid thesis.
You know, essentially, it is a man-made contagion.
That's what we're talking about here.
And, you know, they've been angling for this for a long time, as we know.
Bill Gates and many others, including Anthony Fauci, have been pushing for this stuff for a long, long time.
Jason, let me ask you.
If you could recommend to people as we look at Thanksgiving and we think about gathering with friends and we look at the political world, finding that balance is key and taking some time to enjoy each other's company.
You mentioned your neighbor and the puppies and you made me think about Glenn Jacobs.
Glenn, my friend who played Kane in the WWE, he has a farm in Knox County.
In Tennessee, he's the mayor of Knox County, and he has a barn that was an old horse barn that they've refurbished to allow to keep dogs, and they can hold up to 13 dogs that are on the kill list.
They can bring them out of the shelters, and he keeps them until they can be adopted.
I don't know how much it must cost for 13 dogs, but let's finish off with some thoughts about keeping things local and your hopes for In addition to the communications that we get to have here on the internet, as I mentioned with Tiger, ways that we can talk to each other and our neighbors, whether we go to church or whatever, and keep those contacts going with each other.
Because as you say, COVID really shot a lot of that down.
And if we can inspire people and think about Thanksgiving and coming together as family, maybe we can think about coming together as localities with our neighbors.
Well, I don't know how you do it in a traditional neighborhood nowadays, but here, like I said, our mailboxes are up the road, and a lot of people just walk it.
They get their daily exercise.
You could take those opportunities, like instead of me taking the lawnmower up there, I could just kind of wait, hang around and wait to see somebody walking up there and then go get my mail at the same time and have a conversation with them.
And then, you know, other things like I take little JJ around the neighborhood and I try to do it when people are just getting home.
Like after we check the mail, I'll run them around the neighborhood.
It's not a very big neighborhood here, but I know people are getting they're in their garage doing something.
They just got home and they'll wave.
Just that being, you know, I don't know, seeing each other, not being locked in your house, taking those opportunities.
You have to kind of make the opportunities.
And then you can stop and say hi and stuff.
So I've gotten, in the last several months, I've gotten to know quite a few of my neighbors.
And they've come over here to see what's going on with my workshop project and stuff.
And then you start talking about gardening and things.
Oh, I grow this over here.
I grow this over here.
I do this.
And then you start talking about, hey, maybe we can trade sometime.
But you got to meet first.
That's the key is you got to meet first.
And you might have to make that opportunity to do that, you know.
Yeah, well stated.
You know, it really is amazing.
I think about some of the hidden blessings I was given as a kid and I didn't even realize it.
You know, the Driscolls, Mrs. Driscoll, doing the SpaghettiOs and the apple pie, letting us play in their field.
You know, the stone walls and the path through the woods and, you know, all these cognices that they gave to us that I was able to, in some way, say to them.
And she said, oh, it's so nice of you to stop by.
You know, I brought some food or whatever one time last year.
And I said, well, you know, you helped us out.
And I went and cleared some stuff out.
She had lost her power.
And I cleared some stuff out of her driveway last year.
And she goes, thanks a lot.
I was like, hey, you know.
You helped me when I was a kid.
I want to help you, you know?
And I also want to acknowledge inside Rockfin some great quotes from folks who said some wonderful things.
And talking about the season and I think it's F House, FL House, F House.
My eyes aren't right on it.
We can learn from each other.
If we speak in kindness while trying to learn.
I think that's well stated.
And yeah, I think that a lot of people are going to hopefully learn from each other as time passes and we start to see some of the political world.
But I'm going to keep my mind on those personal connections.
And Jason, I want to mention to you as I start feeling better, what I would like to do is be able to travel over and visit with you, Tony Arterburn, See David and his family, maybe visit with Glenn in Tennessee, and maybe have a spot where, not a giant group of us, but a group that can make it, that, you know, it's within enough proximity that it's not too far.
We can get together and give each other high fives and share a meal and go for some walks and have some good times, throwing rocks into some lakes and stuff like that.
That'll be great, wouldn't it?
Oh, that'd be wonderful.
And I did want to say one more thing on the building communities.
Technology has made us all kind of shut-ins.
Everyone's looking at that.
Even when you're on the bus together or the restaurant, you're looking at your phone.
Even the older people older than me, I catch them doing that.
But we can use technology to our advantage as well.
This neighborhood, just like the last two neighborhoods I've lived in, has a Facebook group.
You know, join that.
Join the Facebook group and maybe do something like you're talking about setting up something to bring people out.
You could do that.
Maybe you can say, hey, let's have a neighborhood party at the local park.
You know, make those opportunities, but use tech to your advantage.
And I can give you one story.
There was one Thanksgiving probably a decade ago.
Or more.
But my brother, he was deployed.
And my mom lives up in Iowa.
And his family went up to Iowa.
And then we went up to Iowa.
And we sat around having Thanksgiving dinner.
And my brother used technology to do a video call.
And we set the laptop at the end of the table.
And we ate.
And my brother was eating his Army or Air Force meal or whatever.
So we were able to commune together and have Thanksgiving dinner, even though he was in...
Oh, that's great.
And I think one of the key things about that is we did some of that during the COVID time is if you can open up those channels electronically and do so on a regular basis with the knowledge or at least the hope that you're going to see each other in person.
It becomes a good regular way to get together.
Like, I'm speaking to you, but I know I'm going to see you down the line.
It'll be like, hey man, good to talk to you.
We're on the phone.
I'll see you later.
See you in school.
That sort of thing.
Saw my old friends from high school recently at our reunion, and it was so great to see them.
And I'm going to actually start bringing some of them in to Reminisce about some of the things as you and I have done in their lives that they did as kids.
Some of the commonalities we had and some of the unique things that they had.
Someone in their family who was so nice.
It gets us thinking about members of our family too.
And so in a way...
As we sit down to Thanksgiving dinner with our family members or our friends tomorrow night, go to a church, visit with people, do something that maybe is a voluntary thing to help out some folks who might be having a hard time, we can think about also how in a way opening this up to you and me right now, the people there, we're all sitting down at the table.
We're sitting down with our friends and our spirits are together in this way.
And it really is a blessing, Jason.
I can't tell you how much I appreciate being in touch with you.
You're one of the really, really good guys out there, as David is, as Tiger is.
So many of the people inside the chat, they're just, they're so much fun.
I see also inside Assyrian Gold, not to make the transition immediate, but...
Assyrian Girl is there inside Rockfin.
Karen Carpenter is there.
Dougalug is there.
Harps, I think, was there.
Handy is there.
Not to put the HH next to each other.
So I want to thank you, Jason, for what you've done.
And we'll close off.
Just any final sentiments about Thanksgiving?
Just again, I'll just go back to, you know, I'll circle back Saki.
Forgiveness and Thanksgiving go hand in hand.
We can't be thankful if we don't forgive.
So let's make the most of our Thanksgiving by letting go those things that we hold like in our heart that's like bitter.
Let that go.
We could truly be thankful for what we have.
Awesome.
Thanks, Jason.
Thank you for having me on, Gordon.
I appreciate it.
Oh, my pleasure.
Absolutely.
Happy Thanksgiving.
God bless, brother.
God bless.
Thank you for what you did for so many people and what you continue to do.
Thanks, Jason.
All right, brother.
Take care.
You got it.
We'll take a quick break here at the David Knight Show.
Feel free to offer your comments inside X. We can post those comments inside Rockfin and Rumble.
And thank you again for the contributions as we close off this month for the David Knight Show.
I am going to go back to the Peanuts music, actually, and play that once more because it's so wonderful.
And let's do that while I get a visit here in the studio from my co-pilot, the kitty cat.
She is wonderful.
We'll think of Snoopy and the dog as I say hello to the cat.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Wonderful music.
You can find that available at the David Knight Show website, thedavidknightshow.com.
And thank you to Jason Barker for joining us as we get ready for Thanksgiving.
I'm Gardner Goldsmith.
Coming over from MRCTV and Liberty Conspiracy.
Liberty Conspiracy, you can join me tonight at 6 o'clock.
And we are there Monday through Friday at 6 p.m.
at Liberty Conspiracy on Rumble, on Rockfin, and my ex, which is at GardGoldsmith.com.
And I should mention the Substack.
You can go to my Substack and My Fiction, which is out there.
You can check out My Fiction available on Amazon.
I've got three novellas that are out, and I've got some short stories that are included in various anthologies and things like that for charity.
So check it out.
Just look up Gardner Goldsmith on Amazon.com.
You'll see Bite, which is a vampire story, has two short stories in it.
That's a novella.
Wall, which is about crypto-archaeology and these two professors in 1963 who tried to sneak into China to prove that there was a Great Wall of China thousands of years before the original Great Wall of China and that it might have been built with human blood as part of the mortar.
Very strange and mysterious.
And there's another story called Fishing, which is very dark, has a lot of violent scenes in it.
But I think it's one of the best written of the pieces that I put out there.
And that deals with a homicidal maniac who escapes from a police prison transport van in early 1970s Massachusetts.
And then is on the hunt for this young woman who was at one of the hippie communes.
Where this killer and the young woman were both located.
And so hopefully it's interesting, but beware on fishing, which I do recommend.
There is some violent stuff in there, so do be careful on that one.
So thanks everybody.
Again, check out the Substack, the Liberty Conspiracy Show at 6 o'clock.
And don't forget to check out The Nights of the Storm for Jason.
And follow Jason at RealJasonBarker and his show, The Foxhole, as well.
So great stuff from him.
Really appreciate what he has done and what Tiger has done.
And thank you all for contributing and being here.
Really appreciate everything that you've done.
I want to mention to folks that your contributions have been just incredible.
Karen Carpenter, $10 contribution.
Mark Young, $10 contribution.
Carlos Rex, $5 over at Rockfin.
Just fantastic stuff.
And I see that great comments are still flowing throughout all of the commentators and the fruit stripe gum colors of rumble.
And so to close things off for the last 40 minutes of the program, I want to discuss some breaking news, but also since we were just talking with Jason about Thanksgiving.
I want to go to what I promised.
This is a piece that I did for MRCTV a number of years ago on, of course, the true history of Thanksgiving.
And since I'm descended from one of the people who came over on the Mayflower, his name was Richard Gardner.
As I mentioned, they founded the town of Salem.
They were one of the five families that founded Salem, Massachusetts.
No, we had nothing to do with the witch hunts.
They also were associated with some of the people who founded Peabody, which is right next to Salem.
It's on the coastline of Madison, obviously, just north of Boston.
And they came over and they founded Plymouth Plantation.
But what are some of the principles that we can derive from the first Thanksgiving and what led to the first Thanksgiving?
Not just the fact that they celebrated.
What exactly were they celebrating?
During the first Thanksgiving.
And how did the pilgrims get there?
And what can that tell us?
What takeaway lessons can we get from the very fact that the pilgrims came here in the first place?
And yes, they did get along with the Indians.
They didn't steal property.
Here we go.
Let's check this out.
This is from a while back on Thanksgiving.
From me at MRCTV, but also moreover, the great team on the production side of MRCTV. Hi, folks.
I'm Gardner Goldsmith for MRCTV, and we're almost at Thanksgiving, that time when people get together with family and friends and celebrate a holiday that is deep within the American heritage.
But unfortunately, that holiday has been mythologized by many government school teachers.
So why not take this opportunity to go through the real facts about Thanksgiving and learn something important?
That the first Thanksgiving was celebrated not to thank the Indians for helping the pilgrims, but in fact it was celebrated to thank God for giving the pilgrims the opportunity to change their course towards private property and prosperity away from communism.
Hi, everyone.
Well, it's a big day in America, and I hope you're going to be enjoying it with family and friends.
I've got some information that perhaps you might want to share with them, a nice historical item for you.
And it's all about the tradition of Thanksgiving, where it comes from.
In fact, the real story of the pilgrims starts in the 1600s when a group of Calvinists in England decided that they wanted to flee England and move to Holland to be living in a more free In fact, at the time, England was torn asunder by battles between the Anglican Protestants and the Catholics, and the Puritans, who were Calvinists, decided they wanted to get away from it all.
For 10 years, they lived in Holland, and in fact, they did very well.
Jobs were plentiful, because Holland at that time had just gotten its freedom from Spain and was a free-market nation.
They welcomed people from all over the world, and they welcomed all sorts of religions as well.
Unfortunately, the Calvinist Puritans realized after about 10 years that some of their children, they said, were picking up too many Dutch ways, so they decided that they would pick up sticks and move elsewhere.
The only thing about it was that they didn't have enough money to travel to the New World, so here's our first lesson in the history of the pilgrims.
They were able to get sponsors Rich people to sponsor their trip.
Indeed.
Don't tax the rich, everybody.
They were able to get sponsors to come to the New World.
Originally they were going to have two ships.
One of the ships was not seaworthy, so they all piled into the Mayflower and they set sail in the fall of 1620. They landed not where they expected to land, which was going to be Virginia, but instead on the coast of Massachusetts, where they established Plymouth Plantation in 1620. They also established something that was a big mistake.
They established communal property.
And that led to terrible consequences.
In fact, we can refer to Governor William Bradford's notes as to why they celebrated the first Thanksgiving and what happened when they established their first political system, communal property.
The experience that was had in this common course and condition tried sundry years and that amongst godly and sober men may well evince the vanity of that conceit of Plato's and other ancients applauded by some of later times.
That the taking away of property and bringing in community into a commonwealth would make them happy and flourishing as if they were wiser than God.
For this community, so far as it was, was found to breed much confusion and discontent and retard much employment that would have been to their benefit and comfort.
End quote.
And that's just the start.
Here's more of the lesson in William Bradford's own words.
The aged and graver men to be ranked and equalized in labors and victuals, clothes, etc., with the meager and younger sort, thought it some indignity and disrespect unto them.
And for the feminists out there, William Bradford has some information for you on Thanksgiving.
And for men's wives to be commanded to do service for other men as dressing their meat, washing their clothes, etc., they deemed it a kind of slavery.
Neither could many husbands well brook it.
Upon the point all being to have alike and all to do alike, they thought themselves in the like condition and one as good as another.
And so if it did not cut off those relations that God had set amongst men, yet it did at least much diminish and take off the mutual respects that should be preserved amongst men.
And would have been worse if they had been men of another condition.
Let none object this in men's corruption and nothing to the course itself.
I answer, seeing all men have this corruption in them, God in his wisdom saw another course fitter for them.
And that course, ladies and gentlemen, was the establishment of private property.
Indeed, the Plymouth Plantation saw starvation, sloth, and anger because they established communal property.
But, as William Bradford notes, they found another way.
So they began to think how they might raise as much corn as they could and obtain a better crop than they had done, that they might not still thus languish in misery.
At length, after much debate of things, the governor, with advice of the chiefest among them, gave way that they should set corn every man for his own particular, and in that regard,
trust to themselves in all other things to go on in the general way as before, trust to themselves in all other things to go on in the general way as before, and so assigned to every family a parcel of land according to the proportion of their number for that end, only for present use, but made no division for inheritance, and ranged all
This had very good success, for it made all hands very industrious, so as much more corn was planted than otherwise would have been, by any means the governor or any other could use, and saved them a great deal of trouble, and gave far better content.
The women now went willingly into the field and took their little ones with them to set corn, which before would alleged weakness and inability, whom to have compelled Would have been thought great tyranny and oppression.
Enough said.
The first Thanksgiving was put together by the pilgrims as a celebration to thank God for getting them away from collectivism.
They were able to prosper.
Governor Bradford notes that they had all sorts of wonderful results.
Much more corn.
Much more food.
And they were able to trade.
The surplus that the pilgrims were able to gain because of their private property establishment is what led to them being able to invite the Indians to sit down to the first Thanksgiving.
That's the lesson of Thanksgiving.
Thanks so much for watching.
Don't forget to like and subscribe.
Well, I hope that was all right, everybody.
I think that was a little bit low on the volume there.
I apologize.
It's tricky trying to manage the system there.
And sometimes what I'll do is record something and then amp it up in the volume and so on.
But I really appreciate what the MRCTV team did there, getting the stock footage.
And that was wonderful.
And hopefully I did a little something that allows maybe the spirits of my ancestors to smile and say, oh, hey, you know, he's...
He's doing a little something in our memory there and for the principle of it all as well.
Now I do have some different takes on Thanksgiving that you might enjoy as well.
So let's take a spoof look at Thanksgiving.
This is something that I actually produced for my radio show a long time ago.
This one is the government-run school version of the first Thanksgiving.
New Hampshire Scholastic Films presents the true story of Thanksgiving.
Many people have expressed frustration over the modern interpretation of America's most unique holiday.
That's why we here in New Hampshire's tax-funded public schools have created a new dramatic retelling of the way it really happened.
Scholastic Films, in association with the NEA and American Teachers Union, now give you the true meaning of Thanksgiving.
When the Pilgrims of England landed on Plymouth Rock, they tried to farm and raise crops, but there was no government program to tell them how to do it.
And so they failed.
Cold, near starvation, the Pilgrims got help from powerful aliens who swept down into the area to help them live under better control.
We are the partners of the Earth!
We are the masters of the earth, obey us or die!
Soon, they were happy.
But in months, the alien plan for the pilgrims became revealed.
Mr. Chambers, don't get on that ship!
The rest of the book, to serve men...
The first Thanksgiving was planned by the aliens to consume our heroic settlers.
But suddenly, Governor William Bradford, armed with his new Pilgrim laser cannon, emerged to blast the aliens to bits.
And thus was the first Thanksgiving born, as the settlers in Plymouth Plantation feasted on the steaming remains of their alien attackers and gave thanks to the government program that helped Governor William Bradford blow them into tiny pieces.
And this has been a New Hampshire Government School presentation.
How about that, huh?
A little truth there from the NEA and your local school board.
Very important stuff.
Now, I have to say, as you might have guessed, we got some feedback about that original presentation that we put on the radio here in New Hampshire.
A lot of people wrote to us and said, hey!
Hey, you were way off base on that original Thanksgiving story.
You better fix that.
And lo and behold, you know what?
We did.
Here it is.
We have more.
We here at New Hampshire Scholastic Films have received some criticism that our first film strip on Thanksgiving, shown to thousands of impressionable children all over the state, was not quite accurate.
We mistakenly claimed that the first Thanksgiving was a feast celebrating our victory over the forces of evil in an intergalactic war.
That wasn't quite right.
In fact, the first Thanksgiving was a celebration of common people overcoming starvation with the help of a greater power.
Yes, when the pilgrims were starving, they prayed for help.
And we're answered by the spirit of John Denver, channeling through Governor William Bradford.
Sunshine almost always makes me high.
Thanks to John Denver, the pilgrims thrived and achieved their own communion with nature.
This has been another New Hampshire Scholastic presentation.
All right.
I do like John Denver's music, but I don't think praying to the spirit of John Denver is exactly what people are thinking about at Thanksgiving time.
But that was a lot of fun, and I want to thank, again, my producer at that time, Jason Richardson.
Just fantastic.
Finding the old-style laser sound.
And we used a picture of Tom Baker from Doctor Who.
Oh man, just great stuff.
Awesome, awesome stuff.
Those were fun days at WGIR after Rush Limbaugh.
So let's talk a little bit.
I believe someone in the chat mentioned Social Security being a tax.
Well, let's talk a little bit about just that, how the government seems to, during Thanksgiving, seems to want to communalize everything.
And so we're going to have a little theme right now, everybody.
It's time for the best band that I know coming out of San Antonio, Texas, to talk about Social Security and the ripoff of Social Security.
Oh, boy.
Hey.
Oh, boy. boy.
Oh, boy. boy.
and then handing it out in social welfare programs Sometimes I'll use Gimme Gimme Gimme by Black Flag, Gimme Gimme Gimme some by that band, the Sons of Hercules, just a fantastic band from America.
San Antone.
They are great.
And now I want to give you the new fold to the giant Ponzi scheme that is still the legacy of the corrupt, deceptive, lying jerk, Mr. FDR. Yes!
Social Security!
Benzinga reported this five days ago, and I wanted to bring it up to you today on the program.
I was going to bring it up on Liberty Conspiracy last night and I forgot.
I finished off the program and I said, oh man, I got to make up for that.
So check this out one and all.
Here is the headline.
See what you think about this.
House passes 196 billion social security bill.
You know, not that the United States is in 36 trillion in debt and accruing another trillion every hundred days.
It says, will repealing pension reductions shorten the program's lifespan?
What does that mean?
Will repealing pension reductions shorten the program's lifespan?
Well, it really doesn't have very much to do with anything here.
Here's the actual story.
On November 12th, the U.S. House of Representatives passed.
Check this out.
The word fairness is in there, so you know alarm bells might be going off.
On November 12th, the U.S. House of Representatives passed the Social Security Fairness Act.
Now, how is taking people's money, holding on to it, handing it to people today, and then promising other people's money to you fair?
How is the taking in the first place fair?
How do they call it social security?
Why don't they just call it socialism?
I don't know.
That's a pretty simple idea to me.
Yes, it's a bipartisan bill.
Thank you, D's and R's.
And it sets in motion an elimination of two long-standing provisions that currently, get this, according to Benzinga, reduce Social Security benefits for public sector employees.
Oh, that just, well, it's fairness, of course.
Here's the rub.
There's the rub, Shakespeare or Christopher Marlowe.
If you look into it, it looks like it was Christopher Marlowe.
Yes, the public sector employees, guess what, everybody?
They didn't have to pay into Social Security on the large part for this chunk.
This is extra money that they never even had taken from them.
This is more redistribution of wealth for public government employees.
Here it is.
The legislation was first introduced in 2023, bipartisan, so you know it's got to be wonderful, and will now head to the Senate from the House, where it has strong bipartisan support.
Shocker, if It is estimated to cost $196 billion over the next decade.
Well, hey, that's a deal.
It's a lot less than what they've been...
If you estimate it out and amortize it over 10 years for Ukraine, it'd be a lot more than $196 billion.
They're at $120 billion right now, just over a couple of years.
Maybe it's a deal.
Maybe we should go to Ukraine and get that.
Critics worry that enacting this bill could further exacerbate Social Security's funding challenges.
Oh!
You mean taking more money from a system that's already bankrupt and bleeding off of people to pay for current recipients?
Bleeding from people who are working now?
The giant Ponzi scheme of Generation Xers having to pay for the baby boomers?
Hey, how about not doing that?
Could I be free?
No, you can't.
Now, check this out.
They say this.
What does the Social Security Fairness Act do?
This is amazing.
The bill addresses two key provisions.
It addresses two key provisions.
So they're already saying, they're already giving you the implication that there's some problem that it needs to address.
Okay?
No, it creates this.
Added to this Social Security Act in 1983 that affect public sector workers.
So what they're saying is, in 1983, there were two key provisions added to Roosevelt's Social Security Act and that this new Social Security Fairness Act addresses what has been a long-standing problem since 1983 when they did this terrible thing to public sector workers.
Again, read that again.
The bill addresses two key provisions added to the Social Security Act in 1983 that affect public sector workers.
Oh my goodness.
I sounded like the star hustler there, Jack Herkheimer.
They affect public sector workers.
Oh my!
If you look in the southwestern sky, you'll see public sector workers at twilight.
Here it is.
Check this out.
The Windfall Elimination Provision, WEPP, I wept myself.
This rule reduces...
This is from 1983. This is a problem, according to them, that they're addressing now with this new Fairness Act.
This 1983 rule reduces Social Security benefits for individuals who receive pensions from jobs where they didn't pay Social Security taxes.
There it is.
There it is.
So the 1983 rule actually is a little closer to reality, which is, hey, you know what?
If you were a government employee and you didn't have to pay into Social Security taxes, maybe you shouldn't be getting money from Social Security.
Maybe.
I don't know.
Call me nuts.
But that 1983 point seems kind of valid.
Yeah.
Well, this fixes it.
You see, we need to take care of that because it's just not fair, see?
We need to give the money because there it is.
Yeah, and of course, according to the Congressional Research Service, only about 2.1 million people are affected by this provision.
Yeah, because there are so many people who work for government.
And there's more.
The government pension offset.
Yes, the government pension offset, the GPO, reduces Social Security benefits for spouses, widows, and widowers who receive government pensions.
A similar thing, but this is for the people who...
The people married to or related to the people who shouldn't have gotten the government money in the first place.
Now, even if those original people are dead, well, their spouses can get the money that they actually never saw their spouse pay into Social Security.
They'll be able to get the extra money.
Happy Thanksgiving!
About 745,000 individuals currently receive reduced benefits under this provision.
Those in support of repealing these rules argue that they unfairly penalize retired teachers, police officers, firefighters, and other public servants.
They're public servants, therefore they deserve.
Oh, they're servants?
Oh wait, were you their servant?
I think it's the other way around, don't you?
I think, perhaps, that you were their servant.
Once they got those jobs, you were their servant.
You kept paying their salary whether you were satisfied or not.
They eliminated your ability to actually have any quality control over any of these things.
Did you ask for the firefighter protection?
No!
Did you ask for the police protection?
How much?
When?
With whom?
What are they policing?
I don't know!
It's all imposed on you for your protection.
Again, The anarchist argument.
There you go.
So there we are, everybody.
That's a wonderful thing.
But remember, it's all for your benefit.
If only there could be some way to, I don't know, rig the system in favor of you.
Maybe, I don't know, becoming, say, a journalist or something like that.
And perhaps getting on the gravy train of corruption.
Oh, I don't know, maybe receiving half a million dollars for some organization you start and getting that money from, oh, I don't know, Kamala Harris's presidential campaign.
Yes, there's a new story all about that, and it's fun.
Here it is.
Here it is, everybody.
Yes, if you want to know how to make Gard laugh, well, this might be one of the ways.
As I fill in for David Knight, thanks for being here, everybody, as we get ready for Thanksgiving.
And yes, John Denver.
God rest your soul, John Denver.
Here it is, everybody.
MSNBC was unaware...
Unaware, gee, maybe MSNBC should definitely be broken off from its parent company, was unaware that the Harris campaign gave $500,000 to Al Sharpton's group ahead of a friendly interview.
Now I know you're saying, wait, G-Man, guard.
Al Sharpton's great.
I mean, the whole Tawana Brawley thing was so above board.
It was on the up and up.
That was totally honest.
That's how Al Sharpton made his name nationally.
He was already really well known as a grifter in New York.
But hey, why not grift nationally?
Why not get a spot with the Grifting Network, MSNBC? Well, you know, when they're not messing around on Morning Joe and bringing in frauds like Mike Barnacle, you know, who made up stuff when he was writing for the Boston Globe and tried to pass it off as real.
And they hired him at MSNBC! He was run out of Boston on a rail.
It was just amazing.
He was the emblem of the despicable, repulsive, left-wing Boston Globe newspaper.
He was like the face of the Boston Globe.
And of course, then he was exposed for being complete fraud.
But there we have MSNBC. Now, what's this about?
Ah, there's Al looking good.
Looking good there, Al.
Well, MSNBC admitted it was unaware.
And as I mentioned on Liberty Conspiracy last night, they admitted that they were unaware.
They admitted they were unaware that Vice President Kamala Harris, the campaign paid a half a million dollars to Al Sharpton's National Action Network nonprofit, Ahead of a friendly interview with the Democrat nominee ahead of Election Day.
These are the people who praised the government suppressing our ability just to put out links on Twitter and Facebook.
They're paying Al Sharpton to work on their network and his non-profit is getting half a million dollars from Kamala Harris' campaign.
You can't make this stuff up.
And they've got the gall on Morning Joe and MSNBC to talk about us who want to just express our ideas.
People like Dr. Campbell trying to get information out that it's healthy to suppress Our ability to communicate with each other.
Well, they're glad handling and doing these backroom deals to put out their theater, their theatrics of politics on MSNBC. They've got George Stephanopoulos working for ABC. He was working on the bimbo eruption stuff with Hillary Clinton for Bill Clinton.
They trot out on cable news, they trot out John Brennan, James Clapper.
These people are war criminals.
It's unbelievable.
Barack Obama is a war criminal.
Joe Biden is a war criminal.
Even Donald Trump engaged in extrajudicial murder using drone strikes and killing people without any declaration of war.
Here's more.
This is just wonderful.
This is great.
It was the National Action Network.
It's a non-profit.
And Harris sat down for a friendly interview on October 20th with MSNBC's Al Sharpton, an open supporter of Harris and the Democrat Party.
Following Harris' loss to President-elect Donald Trump, it was the best loss.
I really liked that loss.
It was wonderful.
Federal Election Commission filings revealed the Harris campaign gave two $250,000 donations to Sharpton's nonprofit organization in September and October.
So remember, the interview was on October 20th.
But these donations were at least one of them before the interview.
But the MSNBC host did not inform viewers of the contributions or the conflict of interest before or after the interview.
Here's a quote from an MSNBC spokesperson.
MSNBC was unaware of the donations made to the National Action Network, they told the Free Beacon, which broke the story.
The Free Beacon added that Sharpton did not inform Network Brass that his nonprofit received money from the Harris campaign.
MSNBC declined to say if Sharpton would face consequences, according to the report.
MSNBC did not respond to multiple requests for additional comment from Fox News Digital.
Sharpton appeared at MSNBC as recently as Monday on Morning Joe.
So they have this information and they're still bringing them out.
And they're not even asking them about it.
Yeah.
It's comical.
It's just out of control.
Crazy.
Holy moly.
Oh my goodness.
Just nuts.
Oh, by the way, let's just remember a couple real quick things.
Before we go...
Donald Trump coming in, seen as the big answer for so many people.
Well, I mentioned this before.
The matter of immigration is popping up.
There's going to be a big battle as the Dems and the Republicans on that political side They start to fight.
I had a piece and a video that I did for MRCTV about Democrat governors and mayors, whether it's the governor of Massachusetts, Maura Healey, Kathy Hochul, the governor of Illinois, Pritzker, the governor of California, the mayor of Denver.
Well, there's a big debate about immigration coming up, everybody.
And in fact, let's...
Here's a little theme for that.
I like to play this because my sister hates this song.
It's Wall of Voodoo with Mexican Radio.
I feel a hot word on my shoulder, and the touch of the world that is older.
I turn the switch and check the number.
I leave it on in a bit I slumber.
I hear the ribbons of the music.
I buy the product they never use it.
I hear the talking of the DJ Can't understand just what does he say I'm on a Mexican radio I'm on a Mexican radio What a great song.
With the old beat-up jalopy cars.
Oh man, Stan Ridgway and Mexican Radio.
Great song from Wall of Voodoo.
He is the main lyricist and songwriter.
But yeah, folks, there's some big stuff brewing.
People are already sounding off.
They're saying they're going to oppose Donald Trump.
And yet another already is now saying they're going to oppose Donald Trump.
And here it is.
California Bay Area City considers ordinance blocking local resources from supporting Trump mass deportations.
We discussed this yesterday.
The Article 4, Section 4 of the Constitution does not allow the federal government to be sending troops in unless states ask for those troops to be coming in.
And here we go.
The Redwood City Council in California voted 4-3 in favor of calling for staff to draft an ordinance for consideration that would restrict the city from cooperating with immigration authorities.
Council voted 4-3 in Redwood, California to direct staff to place an ordinance restricting the use of city resources.
Yep, 2-3.
To cooperate with ICE on a future agenda in the first quarter of 2025. So that is in Redwood City, California.
We know that Governor Newsom has gotten his AGs together.
They haven't officially announced what they're going to do.
But there are a lot of Democrats who actually are stumbling across the actual constitutional framework of states deciding for themselves what they're going to do for immigration.
Again, the word immigration is not in the Constitution.
But Tom Holman, who appears to be pretty well situated, is coming in as Donald Trump's big ice man.
Tom Holman says he will jail a particular mayor for challenging Trump's deportation efforts.
This is Denver.
This is the one I reported on for MRCTV. Wrote this on Sunday and it's getting more intense.
Incoming border czar Tom Holman.
Czar, maybe don't use that word.
Maybe don't have the federal government handling immigration.
If you want to call yourself a constitutionalist out there, y'all.
Says he's willing to throw Denver Mayor Mike Johnston in jail over his protests about mass deportation.
Ah, there's nothing like sounding like a bully.
But look, me and the Denver Mayor, we agree on one thing.
Pronoun use.
No, sorry.
He's willing to go to jail.
I'm willing to put him in jail because there's a statute.
It's Title VIII, United States Code 1324, Subsection III. And what it says is, it's a felony if you knowingly harbor and conceal an illegal alien from immigration authorities.
It's also a felony to impede a federal law enforcement officer Holman told Sean Hannity, who obviously had that pinned, so he's very patriotic, on his lapel during an interview on Fox News last night.
Wow, the breaking news of people who don't even pay attention to the Constitution and instead look at unconstitutional U.S. code.
Because it would be nice if they actually bothered to read the Constitution, and you can challenge anybody.
Find the word immigration in Constitution.
It's not there.
Naturalization is, but immigration is not.
All these people are playing in a completely fictitious, fraudulent world, and they're citing statutes that are unconstitutional, very clearly unconstitutional.
And of course, they're going to be breaching people's privacy, they're going to be taking away people's opportunities, And they would, perhaps, do much better in decentralizing things.
But there you go.
Gotta have central planning for everybody.
You know, just like combating the virus, right?
Central planning, everything's gotta be done centrally.
Donald Trump knows best.
Does he know best?
Well, guess what?
You know how I'm a free market economist.
I teach economics.
I understand that tariffs are bad mojo, even though they are in the Constitution.
Well, our final story here is, yes, already before Donald Trump even gets into office, his threatened tariffs of 60% tariffs against Chinese goods, 10% to 20% against all other goods, Including some from Canada and Mexico?
Well, here it is.
Mexico suggests it would impose its own tariffs to retaliate against any Trump tariffs.
So already the tariffs are going to be harming American consumers.
It's a tax that will be passed on in most cases to the consumers.
It protects specially favored businesses in the United States from foreign competition.
Where do you draw the line?
To try to block competition against your favored industry, against the essential versus non-essential that Donald Trump will now choose through tariffs.
Can you have a tariff from state to state?
Oh no, the founders in their wisdom at least said that's a bad idea.
Or is it that you should protect local American businesses?
Well, why not just make sure that you protect the local businesses in your town?
Make it such that you can't import anything unless it's made inside your town.
You can't buy anything unless it's made inside your town.
You can't import anything made outside your town.
What's going to happen to your costs and productivity?
What are you going to start doing?
You're going to have to start devoting more time and energy to get the stuff that you could have gotten from somebody else who might have a natural advantage or some other advantage through technology that they've developed.
Why not trade?
Why not do what you do very well and let them do what they do very well and get the busybody middlemen out of it from the government?
That might be a good idea.
The South, the states of the South that fled the North in the so-called Civil War, which was the War of Northern Aggression against the South that just wanted to leave.
They seem to have a problem with the tariffs.
And when people say, well, you know, nobody, even Thomas Jefferson, we balanced the budget and nobody had to see the tax man.
So, in other words, they stopped excise taxes, but they still had tariffs, excise taxes on products made in the United States.
They didn't have an income tax under Jefferson.
They balanced the budget.
They brought things down on expenses.
Okay, yep.
But they had tariffs.
So Jefferson was wrong.
Somebody did see the tax man.
And the South, they definitely recognized it by the time Abraham Lincoln was there because they had gamed the system of tariffs to favor northern industrial interests against the South, which wanted, in many cases there, wanted to buy materials from outside the U.S., But they had to favor the domestic makers, the essentials, and the politicians decided.
So Donald Trump, this is exactly what he's doing, and he did the same thing with washing machine manufacturers and dishwasher manufacturers in Ohio, and it was a disaster.
Expenses went way, way up for people buying those things.
That's money that could be leveraged and used on other things in America.
Why do you want to make it more expensive?
For people to get something that can help their lives and then they could save money and spend it on something else that could grow in the economy.
Why do you have to decide with central planning what is good or not good for us?
Why can't we decide, Donald?
The President Claudia Scheinbaum Of Mexico suggested Tuesday that Mexico could retaliate with tariffs of its own after U.S. President-elect Donald Trump threatened to impose 25% import duties on Mexican goods if the country doesn't stop the flow of drugs and migrants across the border.
It's just amazing.
Amazing.
She says one tariff would be followed by another in response and so on until we put at risk common businesses, Scheinbaum said, referring to U.S. automakers that have plants on both sides of the border.
The elites.
People seem to think that Donald Trump identifies with the average person.
If he identified with the average person, he wouldn't play favorites with unions.
He wouldn't impose his will over yours on what you can buy.
He'd leave you alone.
Yes, tariffs are allowed in the Constitution.
But again, I'm an anarchist.
I'm a voluntarist.
I want no human ruler over my neighbor.
I don't want to impose my rule over somebody else.
I go with the ancient Irish Brehon Law System.
I would prefer that.
But I would at least go to the Constitution.
But even there, please use your discretion, Donald.
Recognize the economic fallacy that is the tariff.
So, I'll leave it at that.
And I thank you so much for joining me on the program today.

Thank you so much, everybody.
David Knight family, you are great.
We'll see you tonight on Liberty Conspiracy.
I'm Gardner Goldsmith signing off.
Take care, everybody.
God bless and happy Thanksgiving.
The common man.
They created Common Core to dumb down our children.
They created Common Past to track and control us.
Their Commons Project to make sure the commoners own nothing.
And the communist future.
They see the common man as simple, unsophisticated, ordinary.
But each of us has worth and dignity created in the image of God.
That is what we have in common.
That is what they want to take away.
Their most powerful weapons are isolation, deception, intimidation.
They desire to know everything about us while they hide everything from us.
It's time to turn that around and expose what they want to hide.
Please share the information and links you'll find at TheDavidKnightShow.com.
