	Music Using free speech to free minds.
	You're listening to The David Knight Show.
	As the clock strikes 13, it's Monday, the 23rd of December, year of our Lord, 2024.
	Well, we're going to begin by taking a look at the horrific slaughter at the Christmas market.
	Who is this guy?
	And it's a very strange narrative that's been created in the mainstream media.
	We'll look at that.
	We're also going to take a look at what happened with the Omni-BS bill.
	They got it passed.
	We will look at the war that is escalating.
	You know, we've had a suggestion by Putin that there should be a kind of technological duel.
	And then we saw that pulled off right away.
	And we'll take a look at Trump's day one promises.
	He seems to be moving away from the most important one and pushing towards continuing and even escalating war.
	We'll be right back.
	Well, we have a death toll and a Christmas market attack.
	Yet again, we've seen this happen before.
	We had a semi-truck run through a Christmas market once before.
	We got a friend who used to work for us, and he, last several years, he didn't say anything about it this year.
	Last several years, he would go to Christmas markets in the Czech Republic and other places.
	Really beautiful cultural things that are there, but They've become a target in many cases for these attacks.
	And I guess besides the horrific scale of this and showing the vulnerability, you know, it was just a couple of years ago we had that Christmas parade that a guy drove his SUV through, right?
	And immediately the left called to ban all Ford Broncos or whatever it was that he drove.
	No, they didn't do that.
	They do that with guns, right?
	Yeah, and he was not a migrant, but this particular case, the guy was.
	We have 200 people injured.
	When you look at the video clip, and I'm not going to show it to you, there's a mass of people, several dozen people, and he just plows through them so fast, it's like a blur almost.
	And he kept going for about 500 feet, I think it was.
	And five people died, one child, four adults, but there's 40-some-odd people that are in very critical condition and may die as a result of this.
	It's unimaginable that this is happening in Germany, said the Prime Minister of Saxony, Anhalt, which is where Magdeburg was.
	Well, it's not unimaginable.
	Everybody knew this was going to be happening.
	This was designed to happen.
	That's what they're doing across Europe.
	And every time this happens, we're going to control the narrative.
	That's fake news.
	This person doesn't really hate us.
	And they've got, I guess, the most amazing thing about this is the narrative that they have constructed in the aftermath of this.
	The suspect who was arrested is a 50-year-old man from Saudi Arabia.
	He's been practicing medicine, kind of, you know, psychiatrist.
	Totally lunatic himself, but he's lived in Germany since 2006. He's worked as a psychiatrist in a nearby town.
	German media named the suspect as Talib A, and I'm not going to try to pronounce the last name.
	They don't put the full name out, but of course people have identified him and posted his name there.
	But when they have suspects in a criminal case, the German government withholds the last name, but they figured it out.
	And they don't really have any idea why this would happen.
	That's what the authorities are saying.
	They've not released any information about a possible motive.
	We just don't know.
	And CNN is clueless as well, at least pretending that they are.
	Deleted X feed linked to the suspect.
	Showed that he had in the past shared, listen to this, anti-Islam statements.
	And he accused Germany of promoting the Islamization of the country.
	Then he said, yeah, I support AFD and all the rest of this stuff.
	It's like, wait a minute, why did he attack Christians in a Christmas market then?
	If he doesn't like Muslims...
	He said he was an atheist and he said there's nobody more anti-Islamic than I am.
	The interesting thing is that there's video of him as he's being arrested shouting Allahu Akbar.
	Allah is greater.
	Doesn't seem to match up, does it?
	Well, we'll explain why that's going on here.
	Again, about 40 people are in critical condition and may die, so that death toll may go way up.
	500 feet, he plowed into the crowd as fast as he could go.
	And now you've got, it comes out that this is a guy who was being promoted by the BBC and by a lot of mainstream or left-wing media pushing open borders.
	Oh, this is a great guy.
	Look at this.
	You know, he's against the radical Islamists, and he got political asylum here because the Saudis are going to kill him if he goes back and all the rest of this stuff.
	But then they kind of backed off of him, and he became an AFD supporter and all the rest.
	An asylum seeker activist.
	He has inspired stories by BBC and many others.
	He's been charged, by the way, five counts of murder, 200 counts of attempted murder.
	Uh, huh.
	They don't have the death penalty, I guess, in Germany.
	It's probably like New York or something.
	Although, now you look at this guy that's been tagged for the shooting of that CEO. In order to get, and let me just, as an aside here, It came out that he was only going to be charged with second-degree murder because the only way that you get a first-degree murder charge is if you kill a cop in New York or if they say that it's an act of terrorism.
	But even with a first-degree murder charge in New York, he's not looking at a death penalty.
	But then the federal government came in and charged him with terrorism.
	And that does carry a death penalty on the federal one.
	But this guy, probably no death penalty.
	He arrived in Germany in 2006 after allegedly fleeing his homeland in fear of persecution for being an atheist.
	Given asylum in Germany in 2016. They love atheists.
	It's Christians that they hate in the German government.
	As you can see with the Christian homeschoolers who moved not too far away from where we live here in Tennessee.
	And been here for about 10 or 11 years, and Biden tried to get them thrown out.
	Christian homeschoolers.
	They weren't on welfare.
	They were supporting themselves.
	Large family of Christians.
	So, yeah, Germany doesn't like that.
	But they're great if you are an atheist.
	You're good to go there.
	After moving to Germany, the suspect reportedly established a service to assist other asylum seekers to move to Germany.
	Or was he trafficking young women?
	Right?
	That's also a question.
	He was profiled in several media outlets from the BBC to the German Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung to promote his mission for so-called human rights.
	The BBC noted in 2019 that he focused on helping ex-Muslims free from Saudi Arabia with a particular focus on women.
	In an interview with the FAZ during the same year, that's the Frankfurter Allgemein Zeitung.
	We'll just call it FAZ. He proclaimed that he was, quote, the most aggressive critic of Islam in history, unquote.
	Claimed that he was ostracized to the Muslim community in Germany over his atheism.
	Yet he didn't attack the Muslims.
	He attacked the Christians.
	The interview was published in June of 2018 with the FAZ. Social media indicates that he's also been increasingly quarreling with Germany and its migration policy over the past five and a half years since then.
	He appears to have been particularly angered over the acceptance rate of Syrian jihadists, as he called it.
	Compared with ex-Muslims from Saudi Arabia, much media attention in the wake of the attack has focused on statements that he made in support of the populist right-wing AFD, alternative for Deutschland, over the critiques of Islamic immigration.
	He said in an interview that he was not a right-winger, and he described himself as leftist, reports Der Spiegel.
	They also reported that Berlin security agencies received three warnings from Saudi Arabia about a suspect.
	They were also warned following a 2023 Post vowing revenge against Germany for supposed persecution of Saudi Arabian refugees and that the country would pay a price.
	That's what he said, pay a price.
	Officials allegedly dismissed the statements, reportedly did not consider him to be a threat.
	Another post in 2024 reported by Die Welt said that he claimed to have said, I assure you, if Germany wants war, we will have it.
	If Germany wants to kill us, we will slaughter them, die, or proudly go to prison.
	Because we have exhausted all peaceful means, we have only encountered more crimes from the police, the state security service, the public prosecutor's office, the judiciary, the ministry of the interior peace is of no use to them.
	Except he didn't go after any of these government agencies that he went after.
	He went after people on the street.
	One of them, a nine-year-old kid, I think was his age.
	And so, in response, you have Germans filling the streets after this, shouting, deportation now!
	Oh, but that's a hate crime.
	That's a hate crime, to say that.
	What he's doing is, you know, it's just, it's understandable.
	But if you want people like him deported, as they have determined that they are going to create conflict, civil war in all of our countries as they're leading us into World War III, as they're leading us into a Great Depression.
	We're going to talk about the economic moves that are being plotted here.
	German media is lying about the Christmas market attack.
	They try to convince the German people that this terrorist act was a far-right attack by an AFD assassin.
	This is not true.
	He wanted to punish Germans.
	He wanted to kill Germans, and he was an Arabic migrant.
	So again, large protests filled the street.
	People protesting in the streets of Germany and chanting deportation.
	Now thousands of Germans currently protesting.
	This is on December 21st.
	Protesting in Magdeburg against mass immigration after the Christmas market attack.
	The Saudi Arabian government tried to extradite him multiple times, and the German government wanted him to stay.
	But what is the issue here about who is this guy?
	I mean, is he schizophrenic?
	He hates Islam and Arabs, and he loves AFD and conservative, except he said he wasn't conservative.
	And yet, he attacks the people that gave him asylum there.
	Well, of course, we have a lot of different headlines that essentially blame the car.
	Car drives into crowd at Christmas Market in Germany.
	That was ABC News.
	A car did it.
	Must have been a self-driving car, right?
	Yeah.
	Car drives in the crowd at German Christmas markets, says the BBC, ABC. At least one dead after car plows into German Christmas market.
	A car has driven into a group of people at the Christmas market in Germany, says the AP. Dozens feared injured after vehicle plows in the crowd at Christmas market.
	Must not say anything about it being an Islamic radical.
	And he is.
	The NBC, ABC, AP, CNN, BBC, all of them are going to ignore the fact that he got out of the car shouting Allahu Akbar.
	Not going to talk about that.
	It was a car.
	A car did it.
	Legacy Media uses social media posts to try to paint him as an ex-Muslim who supported Musk and all the things that they hate and the people that they hate.
	Well, the reality is, the Gold Report got to it.
	They said, and I don't know how you pronounce this, but it's the Islam Doctrine, Taqqiyya, I guess.
	T-A-Q-Q-I-Y-A. I don't know.
	But it's basically a doctrine that says to Muslims, it's okay to lie to non-Muslims.
	It's okay.
	It's not a crime, not a sin, not a moral issue, not unethical.
	No, you can lie to them.
	It's just that simple.
	The guy is a Muslim, a Muslim radical, who is basically lying to everybody about what his motives are.
	If the suspect in the Christmas market attack is an ex-Muslim and an atheist, then why was he screaming Allahu Akbar?
	And they put the video up at 17 seconds into this video when he is being arrested.
	It was all just a lie.
	But what is interesting about this is not that a Muslim jihadist would lie, but it's interesting that the press and the governments would all cover for him.
	And they would push that lie.
	And they would ignore that.
	Gold Report talked about that.
	So he made explicit threats.
	He talked about, you know, when he did it in Germany, they said, well, it's just freedom of expression.
	Freedom of expression, in a country where the green ministers have filed, just two green ministers, each of them, have filed, I think it was something like 1,300 or 1,400 complaints against people because they criticized them?
	One guy alone, the one who's filed the most, over 800 reports.
	And then there's another green minister.
	You call them weakheads.
	It wasn't a doom cough, but it was something that was like a weakhead.
	Stupid, right?
	Call them stupid.
	Police visit your house.
	Some of them have been arrested.
	They arrested a retired person who was on Social Security, their equivalent of it.
	That's not freedom of expression.
	But if you say you want to murder Germans, that's okay.
	That's okay.
	Despite having been warned many times by ex-users who tagged the German police and said, look at what this guy is saying.
	They never did anything.
	So he had actually had a prior run-in With the law in Germany.
	So he comes in 2006. He gets protected status in 2016. But in 2013, three years before they gave him protected status, he was convicted of, quote, disturbance of public peace by threatening crimes.
	Threatening crimes.
	But yet, three years later, they approve him to stay.
	He ended up being fined about 900 euros.
	Both still permitted to stay in Germany.
	Not a problem.
	That's a pretty big fine.
	I guess maybe not if he's a psychiatrist.
	He's hitting people with some pretty big fees.
	Musk called the Prime Minister Chancellor, that's what his title is there in Germany, Olaf Scholz.
	I know nothing!
	He has an oaf, oaf.
	Just take that L out of there.
	Anyway, called him an incompetent fool over this, and he's right about that.
	He said he should resign immediately.
	Those who allowed this are traitors.
	He's right.
	But, of course, nothing is going to be done.
	When you look at the elections, you know, AFD won elections, they said, no, we're not going to put together a coalition.
	We're not going to allow them to put together a coalition.
	All the other parties said, no, we're not going to do it.
	Same thing that happened in France.
	These globalists are not gonna play by the rules.
	If they lose, they're going to just keep doing what they do.
	As a matter of fact, they're looking at banning AFD. Absolutely.
	So we're going to take a quick break, and we're going to come back when we do.
	We're going to talk quickly about what happened with the Omni bill that got passed through.
	But I just want to say before we go to break, getting close to the end of the month, and we're a little bit over the five-eighths mark.
	I don't know if the gas gauge, I think, has been updated.
	Welcome to my show!
	And he sent us a thing at the end of the year last year and said, I'll do four matching funds, one each quarter the next year.
	And so we're at the end of the year last quarter, and this is probably a good month to use it.
	And so, we're going to do that today.
	We're going to have matching funds from Marty.
	We really want to thank him for supporting us.
	We're going to take a quick break and we'll be right back.
	We'll be right back.
	We'll be right back.
	Hello, it's me, Volodymyr Zelensky.
	I'm so tired of wearing these same t-shirts everywhere for years.
	You'd think with all the billions I've skimmed off America, I could dress better.
	And I could, if only David Knight would send me one of his beautiful grey MacGuffin hoodies or a new black t-shirt with the MacGuffin logo in blue.
	But he told me to get lost.
	Maybe one of you American suckers can buy me some at thedavidknightshow.com.
	And David is giving a 10% discount to listeners from now until 2025. At that price, you should be able to buy me several hundred.
	Those amazing sand-colored microphone hoodies are so beautiful.
	I'd wear something other than green military cosplay to my various galas and social events.
	If you want to save on shipping, just put it in the next package of bombs and missiles coming from the USA. That's right, and there will be a lot of bombs and missiles and packages coming from the USA, even with Trump.
	Yeah, that's part of the big news that we're going to be talking about coming up.
	I don't think any of that's going to...
	The American suckers are going to keep sending him lots and lots of money, and the American suckers are going to keep falling for this stuff, regardless of who it is that's solid term, whether it's Biden or whether it's Trump.
	But let's talk about the...
	The Omni BS that is here.
	Before we do, I just want...
	Marty is...
	I'm Marty, and Marty sent me a tip.
	He's matching the funds, and he sent me a tip.
	Thank you, Marty.
	That's really kind of you.
	He says, move that gas gauge needle.
	Matthew Ronson, thank you for the tip.
	He says, yes, the atheist Muslim is simply misunderstood.
	Just listen to what they say.
	When push comes to shove, we know what they're about.
	For the love of the road, thank you very much.
	And for the tip, at I'm Marty, he says, tip rally.
	12 June 1776. Thank you very much.
	He also writes tip rally.
	Let's close 2024. Christmas fuel meter overflowing.
	Thank you very much.
	Daryl Brooks says, a BLM racist who targeted white Christians, no hate crime or terrorism charges.
	Why is that?
	Yeah, exactly.
	Why is that?
	You know, hate is a relative term, isn't it?
	You know, just like misinformation or disinformation or whatever.
	Misinformation or disinformation is if you say something that they don't agree with.
	If you say something they don't like.
	If you...
	If you do what they like, if you say what they like, they don't charge you with hate, they don't charge you with terrorism, they don't charge you with disinformation.
	The softy jacker says, why didn't he drive through a mosque?
	Exactly.
	Exactly.
	And Max, what kind of car was it?
	Okay, only a self-driving car is allowed now.
	That's right.
	Yeah, this is a...
	He rented it.
	He rented the car, even.
	I mean, this guy didn't even spring for it.
	So, that's going to be another argument for these self-driving cars.
	You better believe it.
	Because, you know, they can be disabled from something like this simply by putting a safety cone on the hood.
	Yeah.
	That's what we've seen as they block traffic.
	Do not obey those crazy cars.
	So unpredictable.
	I remember crazy cars.
	Do you remember that awful sitcom that came out when we were kids?
	It was Dick Van Dyke's brother, Jerry Van Dyke.
	And it was My Mother the Car.
	You remember that?
	And this guy's mother had died and reincarnated as a car.
	I mean, you talk about garbage.
	You know, we've had garbage on TV for a long time.
	Let's interject some Buddhist theology into a really stupid and unfunny sitcom.
	That was...
	Mary Ellen Moore, thank you very much.
	I appreciate that.
	Merry Christmas to the entire Night Brigade.
	Thank you.
	And we've got Husser at the deck today.
	He came in.
	And we're hoping he's going to be able to make it through okay setting the song.
	Karen is pretty sick, so we've got Husser to come in for him.
	We're going to injured players here for the board.
	Force and goal.
	Thank you very much.
	So you're part of my morning every day.
	Merry Christmas to the Knight family.
	Thank you so much, all of you.
	Knights of the Storm.
	Thank you, guys.
	Jason.
	An angry tiger, Jason Barker, an angry tiger.
	Thank you for the tip.
	Merry Christmas, Knight family, and thank you, Marty, for tip matching.
	Thank you very much, Marty.
	Let's talk about the kind of the tip, I guess you could call it tip matching, that's going on between the Republicans and the Democrats.
	I'll vote for your pork bill if you vote for my pork bill, that type of thing.
	And so we got the government funded.
	And the one thing that they did in Plan C, so you had Plan A that was filled with all kinds of horrific stuff, going to continue funding the censorship organizations that have been created by the Biden cartel.
	Also, all kinds of pandemic preparedness and stuff in there, even.
	And so then what they did was they stripped a lot of that stuff out, took the 1,500-page thing, it was a big stack of papers, and said, oh, we just replaced it with this.
	Well, what was in that?
	Well, it was a farm bill.
	It was a relief bill for people with a hurricane.
	Here we are three months later.
	They're fixing to do something about it.
	They've been thinking about it all this time.
	Mike Johnson, I'm sure it was the foremost thing on his mind when he was out campaigning and couldn't be bothered to come back and pass any money for them.
	And let me just say, I was talking to Gard via text, and I said, yeah, we understand that it's both unconstitutional and And it is also not pragmatic to have the government try to help people.
	Because, see, we see three months later, nobody's been helped.
	And there's no constitutional authority for the government to be the insurer of last resort.
	We have accepted that.
	They have sold that position to us.
	And we, as a society, have accepted, okay, fine, we don't care what the Constitution says.
	We're going to have FEMA and all these other organizations, and they're going to chip in.
	And this has been there for a very long time.
	A big leap forward under the new deal with FDR, the welfare state, the insurance state, backing everybody up.
	But it's not the kind of society that we used to have in America.
	Not the kind of society that Alexis de Tocqueville saw.
	A volunteer society where people helped.
	And that's the reality.
	Here we are three months into this.
	All the help that these people have gotten has been volunteer help.
	The obstacles that have been put in their way.
	The houses that have been destroyed, that were built and then destroyed by the government.
	We got a flood of FEMA people that came in after the flood of water.
	And local officials kicking people out of the homes that the Amish built for them.
	This is insane.
	That's where we are.
	Oh no, the government will do it.
	Or we're not going to allow it.
	You see?
	And yet they're AWOL. And they harm people.
	And so, to me, though, it's like fraud upon fraud.
	First you say, well, we're going to ignore the Constitution.
	Then the second thing is you say, but we're going to ignore it for a good cause.
	We're going to help people.
	And then you don't help people.
	You harm them.
	You know, that's another key fraud.
	Promising people that you're going to be there for them, and you're not.
	And so, you know, that was part of this.
	And they could not live up to that.
	We'll see what happens now that they're going to throw some money at FEMA. You know, $100 billion in FEMA says, well, first 30 we keep.
	Not a good charity.
	FEMA would not be a good charity.
	So, you will have people that are going to have to continue to work, but we're not going to get a paycheck as long as it was shut down.
	It's going to be active duty military, border patrol agents, air traffic controllers, a lot of other federal workers that would have to work without pay.
	But all that has now disappeared.
	The House vote was 366 to 34. All opposition coming from Republicans with one member voting present.
	And Trump is very unhappy with this.
	He thinks that these people need to be primaried out.
	So we'll see what happens.
	On Wednesday, Trump had threatened to primary any Republican who voted for a funding bill without a debt limit extension.
	But then on Friday, 170 Republicans did just that.
	That was plan B. So, 170 Republicans voted against Trump's, removing the ceiling.
	Come on, we're going to spend lots of money.
	Yeah, let's do it.
	A new credit card for President Trump.
	And 170 Republicans voted against that.
	So is he going to primary all 170?
	I mean, you know, he's coming after Chip Roy now, focused on him, especially.
	Because Chip Roy did the right thing.
	Just like he focused on Thomas Massey, who opposed that initial $3.5 trillion campaign.
	Budget busting, normalizing of the Overton window towards universal basic income, that first bailout package that Trump did after he locked everybody down.
	The package funds the government at the current level through March the 14th, includes $100 billion in disaster aid and a one-year farm bill, stripping out the debt limit extension demanded by Trump.
	And again, 170 people voted against that.
	So, Plan C was Plan B with the debt limit that Trump wanted thrown in there at the last minute.
	A big defeat for him, actually.
	So, we'll see what happens with this.
	To get around Trump's last-minute demand of raising the debt ceiling, Republicans have instead agreed to commit to slash more than $2 trillion in government spending and tuck a debt hike likely into a reconciliation package next year, according to multiple lawmakers.
	This $2 trillion thing has now become something of a meme.
	And it's total nonsense.
	There is absolutely no way, no way, that they're going to get $2 trillion out of there without major restructuring of all these entitlement programs.
	And they're not going to do that.
	So Musk and Ramaswamy can play their games, and everybody's talking about $2 trillion this and $2 trillion that.
	There isn't $2 trillion worth of discretionary spending to come out of there.
	And yet they just keep repeating this lie as if it were true, because that's what they do.
	They repeated the lies about the pandemic, the lies about the 1917 flu and all the rest of the stuff.
	They just keep on with it.
	Tucker Carlson, talking about Mike Johnson, said, his betrayal said, quote, there is something profoundly wrong.
	Tucker, did you just notice that?
	You just noticed that there's something profoundly wrong with Mike Johnson?
	On the eve of Trump's inauguration, Right before Christmas, says one person.
	He tried to show through a 1,500-page spending bill that would have given Chuck Schumer all the leverage with the debt ceiling going into next year.
	This is a guy who is a former producer for Carlson.
	His name is Neret, I guess, is the way he pronounces his last name.
	And so...
	Carlson said, yeah, I think it's kind of treason.
	And it's very common in Washington.
	And he's not the only one, but, you know, once you see that, then you lose all faith in a man.
	Yeah, been going on from the very beginning with Mike Johnson, hasn't it?
	But there was something that was very interesting that was picked up by Brian Shulhavi of Health Impact News.
	And he said there was a Take It Down Act.
	You know, it was part of this 1,550-page bill with Plan A, the big one that was there.
	There was the Take It Down Act, and that disappeared.
	He said, Musk and Trump killed that.
	Why did they remove that?
	So it had bipartisan support, and it was there to protect children from online sex abuse.
	And so, the big 1,500-page bill had it in there.
	And then when they shrunk it down to Plan B, and then Trump threw in his debt ceiling removal, a question that Brian Chalhavi had was, why'd they take that out?
	He said, Musk came out the big winner.
	Not so much Trump, because Trump got rejected for wanting to...
	Yeah, and that's the other thing, too.
	We're supposed to believe that they're going to get rid of $2 trillion.
	Well, if you're going to get rid of $2 trillion, then why is it so important to raise the debt ceiling, get rid of it for the next two years?
	Right?
	Trump doesn't believe that Doge is going to do anything.
	Why does anybody believe this?
	Why does MAGA continue to believe this when even Trump doesn't?
	That's evidence by his wanting to get rid of the debt ceiling.
	He doesn't believe it for a minute.
	You shouldn't either.
	So anyway, Musk got two provisions removed that would have hurt his company.
	And of course, the only thing the House did not agree to was Trump's desire to raise the debt ceiling for two years.
	again evidence that he doesn't think that doge is going to do anything the one provision that was killed and that so far i've not seen anyone in the media ask why was removal of the widely popular take it down act which had bipartisan support it would protect children from being sexually abused online from pornography developed through ai without their consent and had already passed the senate by unanimous vote Think about this.
	I mean, this is just not, you know, part of it they were selling was revenge porn, where somebody wants to get revenge on somebody that put up porn.
	Or maybe they would fake it.
	Or maybe they would get a kid's face, and maybe they would use that for AI and create porn.
	It was the original bill that was said to be approved before Musk used his bully pulpit to stop it.
	The other thing that Musk was successful in removing was a provision to limit tech investments in China.
	And, of course, that's a big win for him financially.
	This is the kind of thing we're going to see.
	He's getting rid of the subsidies for his competitors here in the U.S. because, again, there was going to be a rebate per car they sold up to a certain number.
	And as his competitors are starting to get into the EV market, he's already maxed out his tax credits and stuff.
	So he wants them removed for his competitors.
	And then in China, his investments in China, his ties with the government have only grown over the last few years alongside his growing involvement in American politics.
	And he was able to remove, restrict investments in China.
	Would have limited U.S. investments in China, particularly in the tech sector.
	So, as Trump is saying that we're going to use tariffs, we're going to create a trade war because we want to move manufacturing back to the United States.
	Well, some people put in a bill that said, well, we're not going to allow investment to go the other way.
	But that would have gotten in the way of what Elon Musk wanted to do, so they removed that.
	And again, then Trump puts in the, let's remove the debt ceiling thing.
	But supposedly, Musk is going to get rid of $2 trillion.
	You see how fake all this stuff is?
	It's amazing.
	And then, why would they remove this?
	Is it because Musk and Trump want child porn or revenge porn?
	No, but it's going to be something that's going to be expensive for Twitter to take down.
	In other words, it's going to be a regulatory burden for Twitter.
	He doesn't want that.
	He will allow this to continue because he doesn't want to have the hassle of taking it down.
	He would be the one who would have to take it down, his company.
	Ted Cruz introduced this Take It Down Act, and it is so.
	I just take when they do this with the Patriot Act and all the rest of the stuff, they create an acronym out of it.
	Here's the acronym.
	Tools to address known exploitation by immobilizing technological deep fates on websites and networks.
	And that spells take it down.
	The bill aims to protect and empower victims of non-consensual intimate image abuse known as revenge porn.
	It would also criminalize the publication of non-consensual intimate imagery, including AI-generated pornography, require social media and similar websites to have in place procedures to remove such content upon notification from a victim.
	Make it unlawful for a person to knowingly publish or threaten to publish non-consensual intimate imagery on social media and other online platforms.
	It permits the good-faith disclosure of non-consensual intimate imagery, such as to law enforcement or for medical treatment, social media, and other websites to be required to have in place procedures to remove revenge porn within 48 hours.
	Passed the Senate unanimously a few weeks ago.
	Supporters were urging the House to pass it before recess for Christmas.
	And that got taken out after Musk intervened.
	And so, again, it wouldn't cost taxpayers anything, as Brian Shulhavi points out.
	But it would have been a big expense for Musk.
	You see, he's not supporting...
	Trump as a benevolent donor.
	He made investments in Trump and the Republicans.
	The bill also contained pandemic preparedness, military partnership, vaccine stockpiles, collaboration with churches.
	This is from winepressnews.com.
	I'm not sure if this is in Plan C that passed.
	But this was part of the 1550-page bill.
	And so this is something else that might have been taken out.
	The American Relief Act of 2024. Hundreds of billions of dollars in funding.
	And all for pandemic type of stuff.
	So whether or not that's there, it will be coming back because Mike Johnson wanted it there.
	That's the key thing.
	I don't know if it's in Plan B, Plan C that passed, but it's going to come back because they were sneaking this thing in.
	So this whole bill, 1550 pages, was essentially put together by Mike Johnson, put it together by various committee heads.
	No time for people to read it.
	No time for the public to read it.
	We're still finding the stuff that was in that thing that dropped last Wednesday.
	No time for Tuesday.
	No time for the public to read it.
	No time for the members of Congress to really read it.
	So we're still finding garbage that's in there.
	And yet that garbage is going to come back.
	They're going to recycle that garbage.
	The plan for this stuff included a three-month clean extension of current spending levels and so forth.
	But it also included, besides all the pork and everything, it included this bill.
	And here's what is in the Pandemic and All Hazards Preparedness and Response Bill.
	And on White Press News, you can see essentially a table of contents.
	And I'll just read you a few of the things that are there.
	A temporary reassignment of state and local personnel during public health emergency.
	Hospital preparedness program.
	Facilities, capacities for the CDC to combat public health security threats.
	Enhancing domestic wastewater surveillance.
	This is the way that they can easily create a pandemic.
	Take their little PCR scam and run it on wastewater.
	Oh, look.
	We found polio in it.
	It's like, yeah, well, that's coming from your shots.
	Or, you know, they've done this now with bird flu and all the rest of this.
	So we run this PCR test.
	We magnify this by 1.1 trillion.
	Actually, it's more than that now.
	If we can find anything, we can say that it is a pandemic, even if nobody's sick with it.
	National health security strategy created by this.
	A strategic national stockpile of vaccines and other things.
	Medical countermeasures for viral threats with pandemic potential.
	Listen to this.
	All this talk about we've got to shut down these gain-of-function labs and everything?
	Well, let's just rebrand them.
	We'll say that these are regional biocontainment research labs.
	Well, that was always the argument for the gain-of-function anyway, right?
	You know, we're going to figure out how we can counter this new thing.
	And, you know, so we'll have to create it before we can counter it, right?
	And so they're just going to rebrand all these gain-of-function labs as regional biocontainment research laboratories.
	Additional reauthorizations and also setting up something called the Epidemic Intelligence Service.
	I guess now that'd be number 18 or something that we've got.
	You cannot ever have enough of these intelligence agencies that are out there.
	Military and civilian partnership for trauma readiness and epidemiology laboratory capacity, and they were going to spend billions of dollars on this.
	The Public Health Emergency Preparedness Program.
	The bill amends the definition of this preparedness plan to include community-based institutions and churches because the churches were so effective.
	You got people like Robert Jeffries, one of these Trumpers in this megachurch in Dallas, you know, working with Curtis Chang, who got tons of money from the $250 million that Trump put into the Ad Council thing.
	He was paying Curtis Chang.
	He's putting together a website.
	He's interviewing pastors like Robert Jeffries, who's out there telling everybody one lie after the other with no regard, no regard whatsoever.
	For the health and the welfare of their own people or anybody else.
	Some of the most reprehensible people in all this were these pastors who were pushing the vaccine on people.
	People like Al Mohler.
	People like Franklin Graham.
	You're going to work with these people because it was so effective at gaslighting people.
	And they used these pastors and religious leaders in the same way that they used Trump.
	It's a con job.
	He's going to get your trust.
	And then they're going to betray that trust.
	The text of this said, community-based organizations, including faith-based organizations and other public and private entities, are shareholders.
	Shareholders.
	How'd you guys get paid off?
	Was it 30 pieces of silver?
	What'd you get?
	What'd you get?
	And then they made some other changes, which is kind of interesting.
	In multiple places, as Wine Press News points out, they struck the words influenza, and then they would make it more generic.
	So perhaps what they're planning to do is to come back this time with something that is not respiratory.
	You know, they've got to change it up a little bit.
	They, you know...
	Yeah, you got a lot of people never caught on, but a lot of people have caught on.
	So they're going to have to change it up.
	So it's not going to be a respiratory thing necessarily.
	They're just broadening it out for anything.
	And so he mentions it's like four or five places where they removed influenza and they made it more generic.
	Johnson's package deal goes on to support biolabs for viral research, allowing, quote, the Secretary to take into consideration the capacity and the capabilities of the network of regional biocontainment labs and activities to prepare for and to respond to biological agents.
	And to support the, listen to this, Laboratory Response Network.
	Oh, so we've got an epidemic intelligence service.
	We've got a Laboratory Response Network.
	You see, if you don't punish these criminals for what they did, if you cheer them, if you hold them up as the great white hope of America, right?
	This is what you get.
	You get more black sites from these people.
	More hidden stuff.
	The bill claims to put a ban on what would be considered by some as gain-of-function research.
	No, they're just changing the name.
	They're relabeling it.
	And So Wine Press News, part of what he talked about there was taken from a Breitbart article.
	Wine Press News says, hey Breitbart, don't you consider this to be pork?
	Of course they don't.
	They love tyranny and oppression as long as it isn't woke or as long as it's not from the Democrats.
	As long as it's from Trump.
	They are the pro-Trump never-Trumpers.
	They love Trump so much that it's never his fault.
	Any bad thing that's there.
	It's never Trump.
	Never Trump.
	Trump said it's great for us.
	Yeah, well.
	He said we saw how fast churches complied with government mandates the last time.
	They not only complied, but they helped to enforce the mandates.
	They are, after all, owned by the government.
	And so with all this happening, on X and other places, there's been a big meme campaign to make fun of Musk.
	They've called Trump his puppet, his lackey, his butler, even portraying him as his homosexual lover.
	They're in the top thing.
	This is kind of an interesting phenomenon here, because I remember the first time through, Bannon was the one who was out there.
	He was brash and he was talking about a lot of stuff and everything.
	And they were mocking Trump as not really knowing what was happening, that Bannon was in control and everything on Saturday Night Live and a lot of other places.
	And before you know it, Trump got rid of Bannon.
	This is different, though.
	I mean, it is interesting because you've got to know how this is bothering Trump's ego.
	And yet, he was bought by this guy.
	That's the truth of it.
	And he wants him as an ally.
	He brings something to the table that Steve Bannon never had.
	As the world's richest man, he brings a lot to the table.
	So some Democrats have suggested that Musk is the actual president.
	And that Trump is following his lead in negotiations.
	Guess what?
	Musk suggested that.
	When he put up that meme of him carrying the sink, like he did when he bought Twitter.
	He walks in, takes a picture of himself carrying the sink.
	You know, I'm coming and changing everything.
	And he put up a meme showing him holding that sink, but he was in the Oval Office.
	He basically said in that meme, I bought the Oval Office.
	I don't need to be president.
	I can buy these presidents.
	So, we're going to take a quick break, and we will be right back.
	But before we do, I just want to thank people who have put the tips here.
	We've got Marty's been kind enough to match tips.
	This is our fourth quarter from him that he's done that.
	Been a big help.
	And Dusty Milton, thank you very much for the tip.
	He says, Happy Tip Match Day.
	God bless you and your family, David.
	Thank you very much.
	Gard Goldsmith, good to see you, Gard.
	Thank you for the tip.
	He says, Merry Christmas from New Hampshire, a house filled with your joyous music ringing with the echoes of your wisdom and faith, David.
	Thank you so much, Gard.
	He's telling me yesterday that...
	They've got a lot of snow up there, as you would expect, in New Hampshire.
	But a lot of places, I mean, no precipitation.
	So they're going to have a white Christmas up there.
	We actually, Karen's brother came from Raleigh.
	And it's actually colder in Raleigh than it is here.
	He was surprised.
	It snowed in Raleigh yesterday.
	No snow here, though.
	Duke Newcomb, thank you very much for the tip.
	And he says, much love to the Knight family.
	KWD 68 says, Samaritan's Purse, West Virginia coal miners and private citizens.
	That's who helps.
	That's right.
	It was all voluntary stuff.
	All voluntary stuff.
	Everything that's happened for the last 30 days has been voluntary.
	Not even the local government really helping people.
	The local government is the one throwing people out of the houses that were built by the Amish for them.
	Sorry, it doesn't meet our inspection guidelines.
	We're going to stick to that even now.
	12 June 1776. Half of that disaster relief was for federal government use.
	That's right.
	Well, they said 30 out of the 100 to replenish stuff.
	But then, of course, they're going to take even more than that.
	The government is, if they were being rated as a charity, they would be way down on the list.
	They take way too much for their own use.
	Matthew Ronson, we're from the government and we're here to help.
	That's right.
	Do not obey.
	Says, no transparency, even effective support from FEMA. Shady organization for sure.
	Well, you know, Handy pointed out, he said, look, they've got ads here.
	When did it all happen?
	They got ads, you know, $8,000 a week you could get.
	And he said, and they're paying these people this, and they're staying in, that was before they got their temporary housing set up, which they're not allowing people in that area to have, because now they've declared it's a flood zone, so they can't have it.
	But the FEMA can have it, right?
	FEMA people can have it.
	And he said they were staying in a hotel room and collecting $8,000 a week.
	KWD-68, after the July 2022 eastern Kentucky flooding, Biden came and promised help.
	He went directly to D.C. and announced $40 billion for Zelensky.
	The total for Eastern Kentucky was $100 million.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, it truly is.
	They hate us, don't they?
	They really hate us.
	And I guess why not?
	Because we keep falling for all this stuff.
	Dustin Helm, thank you very much for the tip.
	Appreciate that.
	NMAX, yes, we have plenty of money to fly in illegals, to put up them in hotels, to feed them, to give thousands of dollars, but nothing for North Carolinians.
	Birdhouse Blues.
	Hooray!
	The Yellowstone National Park gift shop gets to stay open.
	God bless Congress.
	There you go.
	It's always a parks first.
	Parks first.
	Dougalug, thank you very much for the tip.
	I appreciate that.
	Octospook says, Trump's ripping off the top of the debt ceiling.
	Has already been telegraphed.
	It is inevitable.
	Again, I don't know how these people think they have any credibility to talk about, oh yeah, we're going to knock off $2 trillion.
	When Trump says, we've got to raise the debt ceiling for two years.
	That's the reality.
	KWD 68, 40 years ago, the debate for the balanced budget amendment was ongoing.
	Now it's, what's the budget?
	Yeah, they don't know what a budget is.
	They don't know what a woman is.
	Grammy for God.
	When did we elect Musk?
	Well, he bought his way in.
	The elections are an advanced auction of stolen goods.
	And he was the highest bidder.
	And Max, Musk loves the adoration he's getting.
	Joining the fake MAGA BS. He's talking about giving $100 million now to reform, to Nigel Farage.
	He's repositioning himself as a George Soros of the right.
	Must be the mover and shaker.
	And look, I think reform would be great, you know.
	I think it would be a huge improvement.
	Both the conservatives had demonstrated that they are sellouts.
	Certainly, Nigel Farage, the first time I saw him was when he was a member to the European Parliament, and he was redressing them.
	He's got a head on his shoulders.
	He can talk.
	And he might have integrity.
	We'll have to wait and see what happens.
	But they're talking about, well, now we're going to ban that money.
	We'll see what happens.
	Birdhouse Blues says, is David Knight aware that his fireplace monitor may not be climate-friendly?
	It's constantly burning back here.
	Nice of the Storm says, send in an extra tip to cover the carbon tax.
	Yeah, that'll be put in by Trump.
	Talking about carbon taxes.
	You'll be able to use anything that you want.
	But you just have to pay Trump's friends.
	You know, Lucky Lutnik running stablecoin stuff and Tether and all the rest of the stuff.
	And he's a big guy in the carbon tax stuff.
	And, of course, all these people, carbon capture and storage and all the rest of that.
	I tell you, they're going to come at it from a different way.
	KWD68, run away from pastors who push Trump COVID measures in Israel.
	That's right.
	Ned Lander, I haven't heard Trump say much about North Carolina.
	He doesn't care.
	He doesn't care.
	They're going to continue on with this stuff.
	They're not going to do anything to reduce the IRS, right?
	He talks about tariffs all the time.
	Has he talked about cutting back this increase in the IRS? Seven times bigger?
	$80 billion?
	No.
	And Mike Johnson voted for that as well.
	Well, we're going to take a quick break, and we'll be right back.
	Thank you.
	Go.
	That Whistler was able to get together.
	He got the Knight from the Christmas album thing that we did last year.
	He's now got it moving.
	I think that's really neat.
	We got Jason Barker saying, what do you want to bet that the Army will transition to the Cybertruck soon?
	Just need a.50 cal mount on the top and Elon will make billions.
	Yeah, well, there's already a Chechen warlord who put a big gun on it.
	I don't know if it was a.50 cal or what it was.
	They got enough money there of our money.
	They can buy cyber trucks as a vanity project.
	And, of course, you always want to have an electric vehicle for war, right?
	Where are those chargers going to be and how long is it going to take?
	Maybe the enemy will wait.
	We'll see.
	But, yeah, just as we're looking at all of this...
	I've warned many times from Yukon Cornelius about Trump and the irrational exuberances there.
	And I mentioned before, fart coin, these meme coins like this.
	They're going to restructure the financial system.
	And we're going to wind up going from fiat to fart, I think, is what's happening here.
	And this is the way it's described on NBC. The carnival casino era of cryptocurrencies.
	And that should be spelled E-R-R-O-R. But again, Trump is your guy for casinos.
	He bankrupted six of them.
	And if you want to play the crypto casino game yourself, you could wind up being bankrupted as well.
	And that's how he got connected to Wilbur Ross, who was the representative for the Rothschilds.
	He pulled up and he saw how everybody was focused around Donald Trump.
	And he said, well, we don't necessarily need to liquidate him.
	We can work with him.
	I think this guy could be really useful for us.
	And Wilbur Ross from Rothschild Bank was Trump's pick for Commerce Secretary the first time through.
	Now we got Lucky Lutnik.
	I call him Lucky because he just got lucky that day and didn't show up on 9-11.
	People in his office died, but Lutnik himself was pretty lucky that day.
	And he's going to be the new commerce secretary.
	Interesting, all the people around Trump have these deep connections to the fraud of 9-11.
	People like Rudy Giuliani, for example.
	Now Lucky Lutnik.
	And so, Fartcoin, as I pointed out before, it's got a market cap of $800 million.
	About the same as Office Depot or Guess Jeans Wear or the parent company of Steak and Shake.
	What is it?
	What does it do?
	Nothing.
	There's a wave of meme coiners, a mix of long-time Bitcoin holders and people who simply are desperate to change their fortunes in the era of sky-priced homes and equities.
	While many meme coin traders are flush from gains thanks to Bitcoin's 130% increase this year, half of that has come since Trump's election last month.
	They're simply moving down the risk curve into areas of pure speculation, said one person.
	Others see the potential of making ten times their money overnight.
	A lot of it is people thinking, I can get some sort of edge by having a better chance at a lottery than having it at a lottery ticket.
	And again, that's what they're doing.
	It's just a gambling game, like the stock market itself.
	The fundamentals and what's happening with their business or with the industry are a secondary concern.
	It's the greater fool thing.
	Just make sure that you're not somebody else's exit strategy with all this stuff.
	It's all about exiting one's position to avoid getting left holding the bag.
	That's right.
	Think of the stock market or these meme coins or any of the speculative stuff as kind of a game of musical chairs, except it's a game of meme coin musical chairs.
	You're thinking, I'm early to this, and I know I can get somebody to buy the bags.
	Oh, we saw that already with Dogecoin, for example.
	YesMakes said, of the top 20 traded coins in crypto, half of them are meme coins, whose trades are almost entirely driven by bots.
	Bots designed to spot and respond to price movements.
	You think you can beat the bots on this stuff?
	A website called Pump.Fun, because it says pump and dump, right?
	That's a better way to describe this.
	it's pump and dump which allows users to launch a coin that's instantly tradable in just one click and do it for free how about that It launched in January.
	January of this last year, the site has now generated in less than a year $288 million in revenue since its inception.
	I don't know how they make their money if you can generate it for free, but nevertheless.
	And we've seen this abused with some of these meme coins.
	And so now there's some tools that are being developed because they call it, instead of a pump and dump, of course, you know, the one was called pump fun.
	But instead of calling it pump and dump, they've talked about it being a rug pull where somebody will set this thing up They're the first ones in, and then they pull the rug out from everybody else.
	And, of course, this is the way the SPACs operate, and Lucky Lutnik has been one of the primary movers and shakers behind the SPACs.
	That was how Trump's True Social was funded.
	And so far in just eight months, there have been nearly $9 million of profits made in these SPACs.
	More than a billion dollars a month is being made in these SPACs by these people who get in.
	They get options on this that are discounted from what it's going to be pushed out, and they pump it up in everybody's mind.
	I think it's going to be a huge thing.
	There's a big rush to get in it.
	And as we've talked about before with Lucky Lutnik, He's got these things set up so that even though most of these businesses that he's put together, these SPACs, have failed, he still winds up making tens of millions of dollars in each one of them.
	So there's a site that's called RugCheck.xyz to look for these rug pulls, or as we think of them as pump and dumps.
	And so what it does is it scans the meme coin ownership data to determine whether an actor or a small group of actors are capable of putting their thumb on the scale of the market to pump it up and then pull the rug out from underneath everybody else.
	Trump world has already shown signs of accelerating its embrace of cryptocurrencies.
	World Liberty Financial, a crypto project inspired by Trump, has been buying millions of dollars worth of tokens beyond Bitcoin, a sign that the decentralized finance lending platform could launch soon.
	One person who teaches crypto at Columbia Business School—they've got classes on crypto— You've got to go to college to learn about crypto?
	I think you just do it, right?
	It kind of reminds me of the investment advice that Jim Rogers gave a woman.
	Jim Rogers was a partner of Soros for a while, but he's been gone for quite some time.
	And he said somebody that he knew, very wealthy, called him and wanted to know which of the big, expensive, well-known business schools she should pay for her son to attend.
	And at the time, and this is in the 90s, he said, I told her, just give him $100,000 and tell him to start a business, and he'll learn more in that, whether he succeeds or fails.
	He'll learn more than he would ever learn at any of these business schools.
	Take the money that you're spending to go to Columbia University.
	Which is probably $100,000 a year now.
	I don't know what it is, the tuition.
	Invest that in crypto yourself and see what happens.
	You could wind up becoming a billionaire.
	Who knows?
	Depends on how volatile the market is.
	Anyway, this guy teaches crypto at Columbia.
	Said it's emblematic of the economic nihilism.
	That has taken root among many young Americans who feel that they have been priced out of the American dream.
	He says, all the kids are like, well, all the good stocks are way too expensive and houses, I can't afford them, so I'll gamble on something that I can possibly make ten times my money.
	And if I lose it all, who cares?
	I was screwed anyway, he said.
	Well, let's talk about how they're working to screw us with stagflation and all the rest of this.
	Or as Gerald Salenti has pointed out many times, dragflation.

	But right now, Gerald Slenty's got a special going, and I think it's something like 30-something percent you can save off.
	I don't know if you get the 10% in addition to that, but it's like an end-of-the-year thing.
	So I wouldn't get any money from that, but I just want to let you know, because it's a good publication.
	It puts out good stuff.
	Really good stuff.
	But he's always called it dragflation, saying it's not going to be a stagnant economy with inflation like we saw in the 70s.
	It's actually going to be a deep recession with inflation, dragflation.
	Jamie Demon, that's the way I pronounce his name, chair of J.P. Morgan, said, I look at the amount of fiscal and monetary stimulus that's taken place over the last five years.
	It's been so extraordinary.
	How can you tell me, he said, that it won't lead to stagflation?
	Remember, he said it over the last five years.
	Because it goes back to 2019, when Trump was president.
	And you had the massive amount of money that was being pumped into the repo market.
	You also had massive printing operation, quantitative easing.
	And then you had everything that happened in 2020. And then, you know, Trump, you know, set a new curve for escalating federal debt.
	And Biden kept that up, kept up that slope.
	So, yeah, whether it's stagnant or whether it's going to be a recession, either way it's going to be inflation.
	The Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell said, I don't see the stag or the flation.
	Well, now we can be certain that that's what's going to happen since the Federal Reserve Chair has said exactly the opposite because he always lies to us.
	Trump will have the power to levy tariffs on other nations at the flick of a pen and just...
	30 days or so.
	And once inaugurated on January the 20th, he has pledged to immediately impose a 25% tariff on Mexican and Canadian imports and to increase tariffs on Chinese goods by an additional 10%.
	Trump is going to be very disruptive economically.
	You think Biden was disruptive?
	Yeah, it's going to continue.
	It's going to be in a slightly different way.
	Trump promised tariffs on imported goods could raise the cost of products.
	Ranging from computers to cars to refrigerators on the campaign trail, he also promised to levy a 10-20% tax on all imports and to increase tariffs on China goods by at least 60%.
	Now, the best case scenario is that he's just going to use this as leverage, as a weapon.
	Because we've seen him do that before.
	We saw him do it with the pharmaceutical companies.
	He brought in RFK Jr. He talked about vaccines and autism.
	And he got millions from the pharmaceutical companies.
	And he put the CEO of Eli Lilly in charge of HHS for the full four years to run that garbage.
	We have seen him with this kind of negotiation with NATO. Remember, you had the Trump base got so excited.
	Oh, he's going to get us out of NATO. It's like, you really think so?
	But what he was saying was, we're going to get out a few guys here in Europe.
	Don't hold up your end of the bargain.
	You're going to have to spend at least 2%.
	And he was prepping them to get them to escalate for what everybody knew was coming in Ukraine.
	The Russians knew it.
	The Ukrainians knew it.
	The people at NATO knew it.
	They knew exactly when it was coming.
	Both sides knew when this was going to happen.
	Because we have them talking about it three years in advance.
	Anyway, if these significant broad-based tariffs go into effect, it could send the U.S. economy back to one of the most painful periods that took over a decade to resolve.
	Notice that there is a great deal of similarity between Trump and Biden.
	Because both of them looked at America's economic strength and decided they were going to use this economic strength to bully, to use it as a weapon.
	Biden used the dollar and he has, you know, pushed to, essentially he's killed the petrodollar, which was the basis of the dollar's reserve status.
	But he's also, by using the dollar as a weapon, Biden also has pushed Russia and China and the other BRICS nations as well to use a different kind of payment processing system.
	Get away from SWIFT and all the rest of this stuff.
	So what he's doing is he's getting them to prepare to have their own independent economic system.
	So by weaponizing the financial strength that the U.S. had, they're losing it.
	Trump will do the same thing, but in a slightly different way.
	He's going to weaponize our purchasing power.
	Which we have because of the reserve dollar.
	But he's going to weaponize our purchasing power and say, well, we're your big customer.
	Now we're going to dictate terms to you.
	Well, that may or may not work.
	And in the long run, it won't work.
	It could possibly work in the short term, but it's going to get these people to operate in a different way.
	And what it's going to do immediately is it's going to kill farm exports because it's one of the few things that we still excel at.
	And we've seen this happen in the past as well.
	When he started threatening China with tariffs in the first administration, they said, okay, well then fine.
	We're not going to buy your food that your farmers grow.
	So Trump kicked out a stimulus check.
	Because the same thing when he locked down Main Street America and said we weren't essential.
	And then gives us a little bit of a welfare check.
	And it was more significant than the stimulus check for the farmers, but it still wasn't what they wanted.
	And it still hurt them significantly.
	And the reality is that if Trump doesn't address the elephant in the room economically, it's the Paris Climate Accord.
	This climate accord is being used and has been used for the last decade to essentially give China a monopoly on manufacturing.
	And regardless of what he does with the tariffs and all the rest of the stuff, if our energy costs...
	Get really high, as we've seen already in the UK. Their energy costs are like four to five times what ours are.
	And they're shutting down all their manufacturing because they can't make anything.
	Everything they make is going to be too expensive because the energy put into it to be able to sell, domestically or internationally.
	And the same thing will happen to us if he doesn't address the Paris Climate Accord.
	He's not even talking about that.
	That would be something that would be free.
	There would not be any economic cost involved in that.
	It would not disrupt supply chains, as this has potential to do.
	And that's why they're not going to do it.
	Because they don't want solutions.
	If new tariffs are imposed in a haphazard, hasty way, such that businesses don't have ample time to reconfigure their supply chains, it could significantly hamper economic growth by also forcing businesses to pull back any new investments.
	Of course, Trump would never do anything Hasty or haphazard.
	Except that's exactly what he did in 2020. Hindsight, folks, is 2020. 2020 hindsight gives us a great deal of insight into what Trump 2.0 is going to do.
	Stagflation could also materialize if other nations were to respond with retaliatory tariffs on U.S.-produced goods.
	Likely leading employers to lay off workers as a result.
	Well, then he'll just borrow more money and give them stimulus checks, right?
	That'll be the way to go.
	We have to get rid of the gangrene or the green gang, right?
	Got to get rid of the Paris Climate Accord.
	Got to get rid of these green people because they're the ones who want to destroy our economy.
	And if Paris is not shut down, these green mandates will stop all manufacturing.
	You want to make something in the U.S.? Well, you've got to get rid of that.
	So, otherwise, we're going to wind up with just a big fart coin, and the flatulent Earth Society is going to be the end product of it.
	Wells Fargo economist said, These tariff increases, if implemented shortly after Inauguration Day, would impart a modest stagflationary shock to the U.S. economy, boosting our inflation forecasts in the near term, but also dampening our economic growth outlook.
	Okay, there you go.
	Stagflation.
	Should this occur, the probability of a stagflation scenario in our growth model would likely increase.
	Yeah, again, is the selection of Trump, was this why he was put in the job?
	In order to do this, in order to take the economy down?
	Again, another one-two punch.
	Yeah, when we look at inflation, Jeffrey Tucker says, for once we get some honesty from the mainstream media.
	The Wall Street Journal says, growing inflation poses challenges for the Fed.
	New York Times says, progress on inflation has stalled, complicating Republicans' plans.
	He said, that's a major change from the tune, well, it's just transitory.
	Or, what we've heard in the last couple months, things are getting better.
	It's a great economy.
	Many in the mainstream media are still trying to push that.
	Drudge is trying to push that.
	He said, we've seen inflation heating up now for three months.
	Right now, those numbers are showing a 3% rate of annualized inflation.
	That's not even close.
	If you go back and you calculate real inflation the way that it used to be done back in the 90s, and then they took a whole bunch of things off.
	They played other games.
	Well, here we go.
	Computers are the same or maybe a little bit more expensive, but look, they're faster now.
	So we're going to say that they're actually cheaper.
	That's one of the games that they play.
	Oh, look at how computers are going because they always get faster.
	And if they keep the price about entry-level price, about the same thing, well, then that means that price has effectively gone down.
	A four-year trend now toward ever-higher prices, dramatic loss of purchasing power in goods and services.
	The dollar has lost a minimum of 25 cents of value, or as much as double and triple that, depending on the purchase, says Jeffrey Tucker.
	And he says, so, you know, what about inflation?
	He says, well, the usual lag...
	Between cause and effect on inflation is 12 to 18 months.
	Unplugging the money printing machine is a fix down the line that they're going to do.
	And right now what we see is all the governments have been doing this.
	All the central banks have been doing it.
	They've been buying gold for themselves while they have been pumping up debt.
	$102 trillion of global debt in 2024. This is from Zero Hedge and Tony Ardaman at Wise Wolf Gold.
	It's talked about this a lot.
	So when we look at the tremendous amount of debt, $102 trillion.
	In 2024, global public debt is forecast to reach $102 trillion, with the U.S. and China largely contributing to the rising levels of debt.
	This marks a $5 trillion increase since 2023 alone.
	In other words, jumped up about 5%.
	It's projected to increase faster than previously expected as government policies fail to address debt risks, aging populations, increasing health care costs.
	They go with that.
	Going further, rising geopolitical tensions could lead to higher spending on defense, adding strain to government budgets.
	Scroll up a little bit and show this pie chart here.
	Now, they've got different colors.
	There you go.
	Different colors.
	That really big one there, that's the U.S. government.
	And it's not really a pie chart.
	It's kind of irregular, the way that it's set up.
	But in the U.S., we have a 121% debt-to-GDP ratio.
	And they write in there about China.
	They say, well, China's got a 90% debt-to-GDP ratio.
	Ours is even worse.
	But our debt is much bigger than China, which is over on the right-hand side.
	And as these colors go from dark to lighter color, that's the ratio of the debt-to-GDP. Japan has a 251% debt-to-GDP ratio.
	And they account for 10% of this $102 trillion thing that is there.
	But the U.S. debt pile continues to balloon.
	We have 34.6% of the world's total government debt.
	It's right here in the U.S. And it was Trump and Biden that pushed most of that stuff through.
	And Trump doesn't want to have a debt ceiling.
	So what does that tell you?
	For two years.
	Net interest payments on the national debt soared to $892 billion.
	In 2024, by 2034, these costs are forecast to reach $1.7 trillion.
	Wait a minute.
	That's nearly $2 trillion.
	Don't worry.
	Musk is going to fix that with Doge, right?
	No.
	No, he's not going to fix it at all.
	Over the next five years, China's debt-to-GDP ratio is projected to hit 111%, up from 90% this year.
	So again, how did we get here?
	Well, you know, Trump points to the trade deficit.
	He doesn't worry about the debt that we have here.
	He wants to remove, forget about that, for two years.
	And he also doesn't want to do anything to, you know, this tariff stuff is going to be a huge tax on people.
	And he's not interested at all in helping us with the income tax or any of that.
	The income tax in the IRS is going to explode even more so, even more so than the deficit.
	There's no talk about pulling any of that stuff back.
	Look, at the center of all this, though, was the Federal Reserve.
	And, you know, today we are at the 111 anniversary of, or we could call it the 111, if we use Tolkien's.
	I remember when Bilbo Baggins gave that speech on his birthday party, and they got the cake that is on fire in the background with all the candles.
	And the Federal Reserve has got this special ring.
	And they can just make all this stuff disappear out of the public mind.
	This is like Bilbo Baggins.
	And so today is the 11th birthday of this deception, the Federal Reserve Act.
	They waited until just before Christmas when everybody was gone and ran this thing through.
	Here's a report that I did 11 years ago on the 100th anniversary of the creation of the Federal Reserve.
	It's a wonderful lie.
	Over the last 100 years, the Federal Reserve has created bubbles and burst them, enslaved us with debt, and destroyed our purchasing power through inflation.
	Yes, it's been a wonderful lie for the bankers.
	There are striking parallels in Frank Capra's It's a Wonderful Life to the lies and tricks that real bankers used to create the Federal Reserve.
	Human nature doesn't change, and the greedy elite of 1913 and 2013 look and act a lot like Potter, the banker in the movie.
	And many Americans are left like George Bailey, staring into the abyss as their dreams collapse and they face financial ruin.
	Do we live in a country that looks a lot more like Pottersville than Bedford Falls?
	What does Frank Capra's film show us about how we got here and how we can get out?
	When the Federal Reserve was created two days before Christmas a hundred years ago, it was a culmination of six years of fraud, fear, and manipulation.
	I've never really seen one, but that's got all the earmarks of being a run.
	The Panic of 1907 was used to shape public support for the Fed.
	The panic was triggered by rumors that two major banks were about to become insolvent, just as we see in the movie.
	George, there is a rumor around town that you've closed your doors.
	Is that true?
	I am going all out to help in this crisis.
	I have just guaranteed the banks sufficient funds to meet their needs.
	They will close up for a week and then reopen.
	Just took over the bank.
	I may lose a fortune, but I am willing to guarantee your people, too.
	Just tell them to bring their shares over here, and I will pay 50 cents on the dollar.
	Boy, you never miss a trick, do you, Potter?
	Unfortunately, J.P. Morgan got away with the deception and was able to shut down competitors and snapped up assets at fire cell prices.
	Now, take during the Depression, for instance.
	You and I were the only ones that kept our heads.
	You saved the building and lawn, I saved all the rest.
	Yes, well, most people say you stole all the rest.
	The envious ones say that, George?
	The suckers!
	Charles Lindbergh Sr. warned people at the time of the creation of the Federal Reserve that it would not stop booming bus cycles, but would actually create them in order to benefit its private owners.
	Here's what he said.
	To cause high prices, all the Federal Reserve Board will do will be to lower the re-discount rate, producing an expansion of credit and a rising stock market.
	Then, when businessmen are adjusted to these conditions, it can check prosperity in mid-career by arbitrarily raising the rate of interest.
	It can cause a pendulum of a rising and falling market to swing gently back and forth, or cause violent fluctuations by greater rate variation.
	And in either case, it will possess inside information as to the financial conditions and advanced knowledge of the coming change, either up or down.
	This is the strangest, most dangerous advantage ever placed in the hands of a special privilege class by any government that ever existed.
	The system is private, conducted for the sole purpose of obtaining the greatest possible profits from the use of other people's money.
	They know in advance when to create panics to their advantage, and they know when to stop panic.
	Inflation and deflation work equally well for them when they control the finance.
	As we see in the movie, not all lending institutions have the same motivations.
	Now you take this loan here to Ernie Bishop, you know, Fella that sits around all day on his brains in his taxi, you know.
	I happen to know the bank turned down this loan.
	But he comes here, and we're building him a house worth $5,000.
	Why?
	Well, I handled that, Mr. Potter.
	You have all the papers there, his salary, insurance.
	I can personally vouch for his character.
	Friend of yours?
	Yes, sir.
	You see, if you shoot pool with some employee here, you can come and borrow money.
	What does that get us?
	A discontented, lazy rabble instead of a thrifty working class.
	As a former FDIC chair said, all too often the large banks use their models and their algorithms, and if you don't fit in their boxes, you don't get the loan.
	And Dodd-Frank legislation is tying the hands of small lenders, shutting out buyers and shutting down lenders.
	Today there are fewer lenders than at any time the government has kept records.
	10,000 banks disappeared between 1984 and 2011. This town needs this measly one-horse institution if only to have some place where people can come without crawling the potter.
	In the movie, George gets to see what happens to the small town if Potter didn't have competition from credit unions and smaller lenders.
	If it hadn't been for you...
	Yeah, if it hadn't been for me, everybody would be a lot better off.
	My wife and my kids and my friends.
	Look, little fella, go off and haunt somebody else.
	Yeah, so you still think killing yourself would make everyone feel happier, eh?
	Oh, I don't know.
	I guess you're right.
	I suppose it'd been better if I'd never been born at all.
	Pottersville, the only businesses thriving are vice.
	People are angry.
	The town is filled with signs like, keep moving, keep off the grass.
	Bert the cop actually shoots at George when he's running away and is no threat to anyone.
	Stand back!
	Everyone is a renter?
	no one has a stake.
	Now you're Ernie Bishop and you live in Bailey Park with your wife and kids.
	Look, bud, what's the idea?
	I live in a shack in Pottersville.
	My wife ran away three years ago and took the kid and I ain't never seen you before in my life, see?
	Private property and everyone having a stake is the antidote to Pottersville.
	Here, you're all businessmen.
	But whether it's the Trans-Pacific Partnership or a global carbon tax, the global elite don't see you as a stakeholder.
	They want to turn us all into serfs and treat us like cattle.
	Just remember this, Mr. Potter, that this rabble you're talking about, they do most of the working and paying and living and dying in this community.
	Well, is it too much to have them work and pay and live and die in a couple of decent rooms and a bath?
	Anyway, my father didn't think so.
	People were human beings to him, but to you, a warped, frustrated old man, they're cattle.
	Well, in my book, he died a much richer man than you'll ever be.
	I'm not interested in your book.
	I'm talking about the building and loans.
	I know very well what you're talking about.
	You're talking about something you can't get your fingers on.
	Speaking of riches, do you find the salary amounts amusing when Potter tries to buy George off?
	Let's look at your side.
	Young man, 27, 28, married, making, say, 40 a week.
	45. 45. 45. George, I'll start you out at $20,000 a year.
	$20,000 a year?
	You wouldn't mind living in the nicest house in town, buying your wife a lot of fine clothes, a couple of business trips to New York a year, maybe once in a while Europe.
	You wouldn't mind that, would you, George?
	Would I? Even if George had saved a lot of his $20,000 salary, would it have bought much a couple of decades later?
	By even the government's very conservative estimate of inflation, the dollar has lost 90% of its value since 1947, when the movie was made.
	The Fed's deliberate inflation is devastating to anyone trying to accumulate wealth through hard work and saving.
	So what is the answer to all the George Baileys out there a hundred years after the government gave control of our money supply to private bankers like Potter?
	Well, Potter had more money than he could spend.
	But would any of you want to be Potter?
	You sit around here and you spin your little webs and you think the whole world revolves around you and your money.
	Well, it doesn't, Mr. Potter.
	In the whole vast configuration of things, I'd say you were nothing but a scurvy little spider.
	George Bailey finally sees how rich his own life is, as he sees the fruits of relationship, honesty, and compassion.
	Hey!
	Merry Christmas, Mr. Potter!
	Happy New Year to you!
	In jail!
	Go on home, they're waiting for you!
	And if the public can awaken to the lies of the Federal Reserve, if it could even be audited, it would be a huge step to breaking the chains that enslave all of us.
	But ultimately, it is God that changes minds and changes hearts.
	God hates oppression, and we can and should confidently pray that he will stop it.
	I owe everything to George Bailey.
	Help him, dear father.
	Joseph, Jesus, and Mary.
	Help my friend, Mr. Bailey.
	Help my son, George, tonight.
	He never thinks about himself, God.
	That's why he's in trouble.
	George is a good guy.
	Give him a break, God.
	I love him, dear Lord.
	Watch over him tonight.
	Please, God, something's the matter with Daddy.
	Please bring Daddy back.
	Dear Father in heaven, I'm not a praying man, but if you're up there and you can hear me...
	For old Einstein, my dear, for old Einstein, we'll take the cross from time as yet, for we'll take the cross from time as yet, for old Einstein.
	I wish I had a Christmas night album.
	Hot dog!
	You can get the Christmas night album at thedavidknightshow.com for just $13.99.
	It's right in the second floor there, see?
	What'd you wish, George?
	Well, not just one wish.
	A whole hat for him.
	First, I'm going to the DavidKnightShow.com and purchase the Christmas Night album.
	Then I'm going to listen to Christmas classics, like...
	What, are you going to throw a rug?
	I want the Christmas Night album, too.
	Hey, that's pretty good.
	Buffalo gals, can't you come out tonight?
	Can't you come out tonight?
	Can't you come out tonight?
	David's Christmas Night album includes 21 instrumental Christmas melodies like God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen, Silent Night, and as all new, I'll be home for Christmas.
	What do you want?
	You want the moon?
	Just say the word and I'll throw a lasso around it and pull it down.
	I'll take it.
	Then what?
	And then I'll buy you your own download of David Knight's Christmas Night album.
	The End
	Thank you.
	You're listening to The David Knight Show.
	All right, and we're going to talk a little bit about some Americana, about a tale of the melting pot of America when we come back, Route 66 town.
	But I want to thank people who have been giving us tips here, and I want to thank Marty for doing matching tips today.
	KWD68, thank you very much.
	He writes, Merry Christmas, everyone.
	Thank you, David.
	May God protect us in 2025. Yes, we will need God's protection this next year.
	It's going to be...
	There's going to be a lot of challenges coming in.
	The government is not going to protect you.
	M. Renrico, thank you very much for the tip.
	Fran Edwards, thank you very much.
	He says, thanks for all that you do.
	Apoptosis22, thank you very much.
	He says, thanks to Marty, yes, for matching donations.
	Let's fill the gas gauge.
	Merry Christmas to the Knight family and the David Knight Show community.
	Thank you very much.
	I appreciate that.
	Atomic Dog.
	Thank you.
	David, would you consider looping your Christmas music on Rumble Christmas morning?
	Also, when is Travis's baby due?
	I should have put up a picture.
	They've...
	I've got some pictures that they put up on Facebook.
	I should admit to put those in the deck today to show them to you.
	The baby's about a month old and really cute.
	There's some nice pictures of him sleeping on Travis's chest and some other things recently.
	And then another one of him...
	Which cracks me up.
	He woke up at like 6 in the morning and would not go back to sleep.
	And Travis took a picture of him and he's setting up and his eyes are like saucers wide open staring straight ahead.
	You guys feeding him coffee instead of milk?
	I don't know what's going on.
	So I'll get that picture for you.
	But thank you for asking.
	DGA, thank you for the tips.
	David, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
	God bless you and your family and listeners.
	David's proof is standing up for what's right regardless of wealth.
	Thank you.
	Thank you.
	Always trusting God.
	We'll provide a way.
	That is the key, folks.
	That's the key.
	You know, there's a lot of really hokey theology in this wonderful life.
	And I've got to say that it took me a while to warm up to it because the way that it begins, you know, people becoming angels and getting their wings and all the rest of this stuff.
	But, you know, there's a lot of good in that as well, as we looked at that.
	And you can see The very moving performance of Jimmy Stewart there.
	And that's the way life is, you know?
	We're never going to have perfection.
	We've got to pick and choose.
	And as we get older, we understand.
	And Christmas is like that, right?
	There's all kinds of things.
	Tears that have been sewn in with the wheat.
	Just take what is there and use it.
	And that's the way it was with that movie as well.
	DGA, thank you for the tip, says, David, I'm bragging on social media all the things Trump promises on day one.
	With a countdown, reminding his cult of his promises.
	Trust me, day by day, and after he doesn't fulfill them, I will remind them.
	And I've got a section here.
	I hope we get to it.
	Some of his day one promises, he's already reneged on one of the big ones.
	He's already backing off of it.
	And we need to do that.
	We need to keep his day one promises.
	So we're going to talk about that coming up, actually.
	Audi, Modern Retro Radio.
	Thank you very much.
	He says, playing all Christmas music now through Wednesday, including several tracks from Christmas night.
	Thank you very much.
	So you can hear those at Modern Retro Radio.
	All Christmas music now through Wednesday.
	And he's got several of the tracks from Christmas night.
	Thank you.
	And by the way, I just want to mention again, for the people in terms of getting the album done, People who bought it last year, last year we were using WeTransfer, and we're using it for free.
	And so when you put something up, it would last for about a week.
	They've cut that down now to where it only lasts for like two days, and so it's not enough time for us to get it to people.
	Because even with it being there a week, people get busy, and we would get people who would contact us and we'd send them another link and keep posting it back up again.
	So this year we've put it up on Mega.
	It used to be Mega Upload.
	That was the thing that Kim.com did.
	But we put it up on Mega, and we've got a folder there.
	And the folder has the album, and it's got all the songs, including the new one that I did this year, the Home for the Holidays that I just played.
	And so that's there as individual songs, and then also the album, and then also the artwork for the back of the album and the front of the album, that type of stuff.
	So you can download what you want.
	I hope it's not too confusing.
	And if it is, when we send you the link, we also send you some instructions to show.
	But you can even play...
	And we bought an account with them, so we don't have a bandwidth limitation.
	You know, if you're on a cell phone, instead of a computer when you do it, I mean, it can get very complicated to try to download a phone and use it, especially if you've got an Apple phone.
	They want to do everything through iTunes.
	It can get a little bit complicated if you're working on a phone.
	But if you've got that link, you can play the album right there from Mega Upload in that folder.
	Or you can play any of the individual songs.
	So you can play it in your car that way.
	So there's some flexibility there, but it's a little bit complicated, I guess, for some of the people.
	But if you follow that link, you'll see the folder there.
	You pick what you want.
	And you can download it like we show there.
	And by the way, if you bought the album last year, and we've had a few people who have contacted us, if you bought the album last year and you want the new song that's there, we put that there as well.
	We added it to the back of the album, so it's part of the album play as well.
	And just let us know if you bought it last year, and we'll give you a link to the new one this year.
	And if you have any problems with it, let us know.
	M. Renrico, thank you very much for the tip.
	He says, another 10 for getting rid of that silly globe.
	Thank you.
	For Love of the Road, thank you for the tip.
	He says, please clip this out or share the audio for it on Subscribestar.
	Is he talking about, I'm not sure, yeah, on Subscribestar, clip out what?
	What do you think?
	No problem.
	Oh, okay.
	It's a wonderful life.
	Okay, yeah, yeah.
	We need to put that in.
	That's probably what he's talking about.
	Apple at, thank you very much.
	That's very generous.
	I appreciate that.
	Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your family and listeners.
	Thank you very much.
	And again, Marty is matching today.
	I really do appreciate that from Marty.
	Owen61, at least it's the Trump carbon tax, not the Gates carbon tax.
	Because that would be really bad, right?
	Like the vaccine.
	That's good.
	As far as global taxation goes, the Trump carbon tax is like sugar water.
	That's right.
	It won't affect your pocketbook at all, just like the vaccine would not affect your body.
	And it would not be an issue with autism, even if it's got those...
	It's going to have to put those adjuvants in that I've been telling people about for 20 years, said Alex.
	But it's okay.
	The adjuvants are okay.
	The stuff that would give you autism...
	And he was telling you about that for 20 years so that you trust him.
	That stuff, even if it's in the Trump vaccine, that stuff is not, you don't have to worry about it.
	It's not going to give you autism if it's in a Trump vaccine.
	Atomic Dog.
	Help David Knight have a Merry Christmas by liking the video, sharing on social media, and subscribing.
	It all helps.
	Well, thank you very much.
	I appreciate that.
	Octospook.
	All that money which is being made in markets, bonds, certificates, digital dollars will have a day of settling.
	I believe it's just a game of three-card Monty until the conceals are pulled.
	Or maybe it's just a two-card Monty because we're Democrat or Republican.
	You know, which one is it?
	Is it going to blow up on us with?
	NMAX says, Rothschild is basically on the Federal Reserve and Trump is 100% beholden to the Rothschilds.
	Has been for decades.
	So what could possibly go wrong?
	That's right.
	KWD 68. Trump will appear to do some good.
	And we'll continue down the path of destruction.
	Yeah, I think there will be some good things that will happen, along with some bad things, because I think there's some unintended consequences with a lot of this stuff, even if he doesn't intend it for evil, which I think he will.
	But I think that, you know, the first couple of years, people are going to see some victories, get very excited, and then he will do a rug pull on us.
	It's going to be a pump and dump for the Great Reset under Trump.
	It's exactly what I think is going to happen.
	Big Brit is back again, says Musk will be a trillionaire by 2030. I think so.
	I mean, look at, he's already made a couple of billion in just a couple hundred billion in just a couple of months.
	A Syrian girl.
	It'd be nice if Trump would give tax incentives to companies to bring production back to the U.S. before he raises prices on everything we need to buy through tariffs.
	That's right.
	Unfortunately, though, you know, the first time his tax cut was basically tax incentives for them to do exactly that.
	What did they do?
	Gerald Slenty talked about it a lot.
	He said, look, they're buying their own stock back.
	They financialized all of it.
	They didn't invest any of it in America.
	They basically invested in their own company and in the stock market.
	And that's what that was really about.
	Octo spook.
	I think if just half of the tariffs and taxes on foreign goods are imposed, which Trump is stating, that you would suddenly walk into a Walmart and find that you can't afford what you need.
	Prices are rising.
	KWD 68. Fed needs to just print a $100 trillion bill.
	Debt solved and a nice surplus for a year or two.
	No, I'm saying that.
	Let's mint a trillion dollar coin.
	And, I mean, it's just a repudiation of what the debt is.
	Maybe they could use a fart coin to do it.
	They could print a trillion dollar part coin.
	There we go.
	That'd be the solution, I think.
	And Max, gold went for $300 just 20 or so years ago.
	Now it's a $2,600.
	It was worth $20 in the early 1900s.
	Yeah.
	That gives you a clue as to where the inflation is.
	KWD-68.
	There are no Jimmy Stewart's left in Hollywood, that's for sure.
	Yeah.
	Or in Washington.
	Remember Mr. Smith Goes to Washington?
	Yeah.
	I don't see anybody like that either.
	Of course, Democrats want to get rid of the filibuster as well.
	LTE, Oracle of Truth.
	David, did you see the drones falling out of the sky by the dozens?
	I saw that.
	I was going to put that up alongside the video that everybody sees of the Dragon drone that was in China like three or four years ago and say, are they ahead of us in drone technology?
	They are, you know, most of the drones that we buy, as Mallorca said, on the convenience stores.
	No, they don't sell drones like that at the convenience stores.
	But most of the DJI, those are made in China.
	Most of the real consumer things, not the toys, but the real consumer drones are made there.
	And it seems like their drone technology is way more advanced than ours, doesn't it?
	When you look at that Orlando thing, they had multiple, I don't know if they were even doing a formation or not.
	It just looked like kind of a random group of drones, and they start falling out of the sky, landed on a kid, had to take them to the hospital.
	Three little birds.
	Says everyone is flying drones now to try and see all the alien invaders and the Chinese-Russian drones.
	Matthew Ronson said, I'm still waiting for Trump to build that wall.
	I'm still waiting for Mexico to pay for the spare parts that are out there that are sitting in the desert.
	Murray Draper, thank you very much.
	I appreciate that.
	It's Merry Christmas and God bless.
	Thank you.
	Appreciate that.
	Let's talk just a little bit about the restoration of a Route 66 town.
	I think this is a wonderful story because the man who was building it, who suddenly died, but his son is now taking it over, was a Japanese-American man who got to be very wealthy.
	And interestingly enough, he got wealthy by creating a Southern California chicken restaurant chain called Juan Polo.
	It's like Breaking Bad or something, except no meth was involved in this.
	So he creates a chain of chicken restaurants and gives it a Mexican name and maybe a Mexican flavor.
	He's Japanese-American, but he loves Route 66 and Mid-Century Americana.
	And interestingly enough, his family...
	You know, when you look at this, this is the way the melting pot used to be in America.
	People would come here because they liked freedom, not free stuff.
	And they would be free to compete.
	They could become very successful.
	They would incorporate all these different cultures that are here.
	Here's a Japanese-American guy who gets rich on a Mexican chicken restaurant.
	Small town, like so many along Route 66, should be dead.
	But this guy who purchased it was reviving it, and he died in the middle of it, but they still have big plans, and his son is following through with it.
	And his son, the father's name was Albert Okura, and his son is M-Boy.
	And so he said one person who was there, 61-year-old Digger Simpson, It said, Route 66 is the mother road.
	You know, we lived in Texas.
	I always wanted to take the time.
	We never did.
	I wanted to go down Route 66 and a couple of different directions from there.
	You go up and catch it at Amarillo.
	They went through Amarillo.
	And just to kind of see it.
	You know, we're going to take the Miata and we're going to do that.
	We never did get around to doing that road trip.
	But it is interesting and there's a lot of interesting stuff.
	stuff now they've got a new stop here uh some mom-and-pop restaurants and gas stations that were built they're reflecting on the nostalgia that drew him from california uh to the town i'm It's not his son's name.
	His son's got a more American name here.
	The town is Amboy.
	And so in 2005...
	Albert bought Amboy.
	It's about 200 miles east of LA. He spent years painstakingly restoring his buildings before he could fully realize the dream of making it a tourist destination again.
	But he died last year at the age of 71. And his son has picked up on it.
	And again, I was...
	I remember...
	We never went down Route 66, but I remember my family, when I was a child, we would frequently go from Tampa up to this area, the Gatlinburg area.
	And I remember taking the trips.
	There was no interstate.
	And it was always this collection of mom-and-pop restaurants.
	And, you know, we'd pack a picnic lunch because it could be real hit or miss.
	You didn't really know what it was going to cost or what the quality was going to be.
	But, you know, looking back at it, and it was a complicated thing.
	I remember my mom and dad trying to figure out.
	She was like riding there with a map trying to tell them where to go.
	But a lot of times there wasn't the detail that you needed.
	It didn't match up with the map.
	Things might have changed or the maps didn't have a great deal of detail in them either.
	And so it could be a real adventure that way.
	And it could be trying to the patience of the driver and the navigator when they were going through that stuff.
	But it was really cool to see all of that diversity.
	And that's what Route 66 was.
	And then it all died because they built Interstate 40. And I mentioned that he's Japanese-American.
	During the Second World War, of course, when they incarcerated Japanese-Americans after Pearl Harbor, about 120,000 of them, his father, a second-generation Japanese-American, was imprisoned at one of the ten camps the U.S. government built during the war.
	To prove his Americanness, his uncle enlisted for the U.S. Army and died in battle.
	Now, there's no resentment by Albert Okura for that.
	Just simply love for his country.
	Isn't that amazing?
	And the success that he was able to enjoy here.
	I mean, we look at all the chips on everybody's shoulders about slavery, you know, 400 years ago or something like that.
	And here it is his father.
	He was unfairly imprisoned.
	The Japanese Americans that they put in internment camps didn't have anything to do with it.
	FDR did.
	FDR was guilty as sin in what happened with Pearl Harbor.
	But these Japanese Americans had nothing to do with it.
	Instead, FDR sat there while they put these people in prison.
	But he did not get bitter about it.
	He got better.
	Now they've got a 14-foot tall roadside painting that is there at the city of Amboy.
	And his son is continuing on with this.
	But the whole thing has become, Route 66 has become kind of a nostalgia trip for a lot of people.
	It's only got one resident in the town.
	It's basically only half a resident.
	Because one guy, who's 63 years old, is there for half of the year.
	So, you know, what is happening there, I don't know.
	But it is an interesting story from the family's perspective.
	And I'll just mention one other thing that I thought was kind of strange.
	This is, in the UK, the Royal Mail has been sold to a billionaire.
	He bought the mail.
	It's a Czech billionaire.
	So I guess now the Czech is in the mail.
	Royal mail.
	This is a guy.
	He paid 3.6 billion pounds for the royal mail.
	It's a Czech billionaire's first name is Daniel, and I'm not Kretinsky, I guess is how you pronounce his last name, perhaps.
	500 years, the British owned it.
	The British government did, I guess.
	And now it's going to be owned by a Czech billionaire.
	The government will retain a golden share, as they put it, in the company, ensuring its control over key decisions, such as changes to ownership, tax residency, or the headquarters location.
	They have about 150,000 people who work for the British mail system.
	They're going to maintain their universal service obligation, guarantee letter delivery six days a week, parcel delivery Monday through Friday, the standard price.
	Maybe they will go out of business.
	He's also going to give a 10% dividend to the employees.
	Maybe that will help.
	And...
	They are going he also gets a tax residency will remain in the UK for at least five years and what happens we don't know but you know when you look at the fact that everything is for sale another example of what was likely going to happen with the Great Reset As the debt mounts on all these Western countries, and a few billionaires are going to wind up owning everything.
	I don't even know who that guy is, the Czech billionaire that's there.
	Let me thank people who have given us tips again.
	Marty, thank you so much for matching the tips, and this is the fourth time he's done it this year.
	Awutz, thank you very much.
	I appreciate that.
	Sprumford, thank you, says, God bless, David, and prayers for all who are going through their own personal tribulations.
	Lord knows there seem to be a lot of them these days.
	Yes, yes.
	And many people who, as a matter of fact, a friend of ours, a little Ford schoolhouse, whose mother died suddenly this last week.
	So pray for that family.
	Right overture.
	America has been drugged into a love affair over cheap goods.
	Yeah, consumer nation.
	Not a nation that produces its own goods anymore.
	And that is by design.
	You know, all this stuff about the China price, Listen, you know, go back and look at the 90s when you had, you know, conservatives and libertarian think tanks were saying, you don't want to do this kind of manufacturing.
	It would be much better to have the Chinese do it.
	They'll work for nothing.
	Oh, really?
	Okay.
	How's that form of slavery working out for us now?
	And so you had currency manipulations, you had piracy of intellectual property theft, all the rest of the stuff, and now you have a situation where they're the only ones who are going to be allowed to have affordable energy.
	And it's going to completely undercut our manufacturing.
	Far more devastating than the piracy, the currency manipulation, or the slave labor is what's going to be there with the Paris Climate Accord.
	And that was their whole purpose.
	Matt Bradford, Trump today is threatening Panama.
	That's right.
	That he's going to take over the Panama Canal over the prices to ship our goods through there.
	Steep prices are coming for us.
	Yeah, yeah.
	Octo spook.
	I think Trump will take back the Panama Canal when pigs can fly.
	Yeah, we'll see.
	That's another one of his promises there.
	We're going to take a look at those in just a minute.
	And we'll be right back.
	There's a post-election sale on silver and gold!
	Trump euphoria has caused a dip in silver and gold.
	It's time to buy some medals with fiat dollars before they come to their sense is.
	Go to davidknight.gold to get in touch with the wise wolf himself, Tony Arterburn.
	He knows where to look to find silver and gold.
	Yark!
	And to those who think this... ...the world's
	greatest.
	...the world's greatest.
	You're listening to The David Knight Show.
	All right, let's take a look at day one.
	I said I had some stuff about Trump on day one.
	As a matter of fact, he predicts that his administration will be fully operational within two hours.
	When do these people get confirmed?
	All these people that he needs to get this stuff done?
	I don't know.
	Sounds like complete BS to me.
	We're going to be fully operational, I would say, by about 2 o'clock on the 20th.
	I guess this year is on the 20th and not the 21st.
	Anyway, the golden age of America is upon us, he said.
	Yeah, you better get some gold because that's going to be the one thing they can't track and trace.
	He said, I made a series of day one promises in my campaign and 29 days from now I intend to keep those promises, he said this weekend.
	And Ben Shapiro said Trump is ushering in the golden age.
	And it was a big America fest where he was doing all this stuff.
	Big Trump love fest that's there.
	And Ben Shapiro said he's ushering in a golden age.
	Trump, he said, is a force.
	An historic force.
	He is the historic force of our age.
	And if we can only force people to shut up and stop criticizing Israel, we can get rid of the First Amendment.
	You know, that's the key thing, right?
	Got to get rid of the First Amendment to make Israel great, according to Ben Shapiro and many Zionists.
	That's a way for us to have a golden age, isn't it?
	Eviscerate the Bill of Rights.
	At the demands of a foreign government that has bought our politicians, especially the GOP. You know, Israel has bought these politicians.
	Musk has bought these politicians.
	What a bunch of prostitutes they are.
	Trump plans to withdraw from the WHO on day one.
	There's one of our things.
	We're going to get out of the World Health Organization.
	Going to do it on day one.
	Remember, he said, first time around, he was talking about, well, we've got to get out of the World Health Organization.
	Didn't do it, did he?
	Uh-uh.
	Also on day one, Trump will, quote, stop the transgender lunacy.
	Wait a minute, if he does that, are they going to take back all those awards and medals that they gave Trump, and especially Melania, right, for this stuff, the LGBT people?
	And, of course, he's going to end the transgender lunacy on day one?
	These claims that he's got, it is so entrenched.
	In our culture, in our society, into the institutions?
	There's no way that he can do any of this nonsense.
	The mutilations will stop.
	Men will be kept out of women's sports.
	And transgenderism will be out of the military and the schools.
	There you go.
	It's all going to work.
	And he can do that on the very first day.
	It won't take him any time at all.
	Now, he has previously said...
	That he was going to make peace in Ukraine on day one.
	On day one.
	Busy day.
	But he's no longer committing to doing that.
	He says instead he might do that.
	Quote, unquote, might.
	And that he is, quote, gonna try.
	He's gonna try.
	Well, as we had Yoda say...
	Do or do not.
	There is no try.
	I don't think he's going to do it.
	I think he's backing off already.
	And of course, when we come back and we're going to talk about this, he's now pushing NATO countries to spend 5% of their budget on war.
	And up from the 2%.
	And of course, he was threatening to leave NATO And his base just ate that up.
	But no, he's going to have more money for Ukraine.
	He's also talking about that as well.
	Going to continue funding for Ukraine.
	And he wants Europe to up their contributions from 2% to 5% of their gross domestic product.
	This guy is just another Mike Johnson.
	Just another Mike Johnson.
	And we're going to protect the border?
	He didn't do that either, did he?
	Building the wall wasn't going to really protect the border.
	Again, just as we're talking about the tariffs, stop enticing and bribing people to come to America and get stuff for free.
	The Japanese-American guy, his family came.
	They didn't get anything for free.
	As a matter of fact, his father got locked up.
	But he loves this country because he loves freedom.
	And he understands that there's bad politicians and bad things are going to happen, but he loved the freedom of America, and it made him successful.
	The people who are coming now, they're coming because they want the people that are being given the welfare, coming because they want free stuff.
	Stop the free stuff.
	And you won't get the bad people.
	You know, we're getting the worst people.
	You're paying the worst people to come here.
	The good people who come here come here because they want to work, because they want freedom.
	But you're incentivizing the bad people to come here by giving them money.
	Stop giving them money.
	And when we talk about, you know, we're getting our head handed to us on manufacturing, Well, stop all the Paris Climate Accord.
	You have that within your power.
	We never were legitimately in that treaty.
	But he pretended, his first term, he pretended that we were in it.
	He pretended that since we were in it, he couldn't get out because they had set it up for a four-year lag from the time that you say you want to get out of it to the time that you can't get out of it.
	But we were never in it.
	And he would never call their bluff on that.
	Marky Mark, thank you for the tip.
	He says, Sony founder...
	Aoki Morita said that the only way to build wealth is to make things.
	That's right.
	That's right.
	Absolutely is.
	And that's the thing that made America wealthy, was manufacturing.
	It's what made Great Britain wealthy.
	It was the Industrial Revolution.
	Absolutely.
	And thank you for that, and thank you to Marty for the matching funds today.
	Thank you so much.
	KWD-68, the tariffs will be by executive order, and there's some more tyranny for you.
	That's right.
	Think about this.
	Everything that Trump promises to do on day one is going to be an executive order.
	And he did gun control by executive order.
	And many other things.
	KWD-68, I wonder, since it's become so fashionable, you know, we got Ohio saying, well, you know, you can't criticize Israel.
	You can't say anything that we would construe as being critical of Israel, so you can't even talk about quotes from the Bible, right?
	That's going to be prohibited.
	And the Republicans are pushing this through.
	Republicans in Ohio, Republicans in Florida, DeSantis, and so forth, pushing this stuff.
	Is Trump going to do an executive order to attack the First Amendment?
	Like he did the Second Amendment.
	He doesn't have any respect for the First Amendment.
	He's out there suing anybody that is critical of him.
	Now, Stephanopoulos, what they did was, you know, continually saying that he was guilty of rape when he wasn't.
	That's, you know, that's the type of thing that he could sue them for defamation, and that's legitimate to do so.
	But Trump is going way beyond that.
	Going after people who got the poll wrong.
	He wants to come after this pollster who resigned because she got it so wrong.
	But people can make mistakes, and he doesn't want anybody that criticizes him.
	He wants to punish them.
	Matthew Ronson, Trump will build a wall around the canal and make Panama pay for it.
	And Max, he actually had an LGBTQ celebration at Mar-a-Lago.
	I know, yeah.
	He plays the gay anthem, YMCA, at all of his gatherings.
	And look at what...
	Well, they did with Melania.
	I mean, she is a darling of that.
	And, you know, Rick Grinnell, who appears to be qualified, unlike, you know, the Biden high-profile picks, his deputy HHS person, this guy calls himself Rachel Levine.
	His name's Richard.
	I call him Dick Devine.
	But that guy, Sam Britton, in charge of nuclear waste...
	By the way, if they're supposedly looking for some lost nuclear stuff in New Jersey, has anybody seen Sam Brinton lately?
	Did he steal somebody's suitcase nuke and my mistake when he thought he was getting their dresses?
	He's got multiple felony charges for stealing luggage from women.
	But, you know, those people were a joke.
	Now, Rick Cornell seemed to be qualified.
	Why do you have to make it all about his sexual escapades or whatever?
	I don't want to know about his private sex life.
	Shut up.
	Don't ask, don't tell.
	And I think that should apply to cabinet members as well.
	But, you know, he was one of these people pushing the fact that Trump was so pro-LGBT. I don't think he's going to do anything about the training stuff.
	Not at all.
	Well, we're going to take a quick break, and we'll be right back.
	PIANO PLAYS
	Thank you.
	.
	Thank you.
	You're listening to The David Knight Show.
	How?
	Hello, it's me, Volodymyr Zelensky.
	I'm so tired of wearing these same t-shirts everywhere for years.
	You'd think with all the billions I've skimmed off America, I could dress better.
	And I could, if only David Knight would send me one of his beautiful grey MacGuffin hoodies or a new black t-shirt with the MacGuffin logo in blue.
	But he told me to get lost.
	Maybe one of you American suckers can buy me some at the davidknightshow.com.
	And David is giving a 10% discount to listeners from now until 2025. At that price, you should be able to buy me several hundred.
	Those amazing sand-colored microphone hoodies are so beautiful.
	I'd wear something other than green military cosplay to my various galas and social events.
	If you want to save on shipping, just put it in the next package of bombs and missiles coming from the USA. Yeah, didn't Whistler do a great job with that Zelensky commercial and the galloping knight that he put in there as well?
	And he's doing the board today.
	And I want to thank all of you who've been praying for him.
	Still not completely recovered.
	Still would appreciate your prayers for his complete recovery.
	But, because there's not, you know, you can't walk a great distance or do much without...
	Getting pain in his knees and ankles still.
	And so he's not completely healed, and so we really would appreciate your prayers.
	But we appreciate him doing the board today.
	Thank you.
	I want to, before we get into what is happening with war, you know, the T-shirts and the bombs and missiles that Zelensky's getting here, I want to thank some of the people who have contributed on Cash App as well as on Zelle.
	I read Zelle last week for most of the month, but we've had a few people who have contributed since then.
	I want to thank them for that.
	But going to Cash App first, Michael L., Gino Lexis, Randy, Amy B., Dave B., George W., And Brenda H., thank you all so much.
	I appreciate that.
	And Anzell, Darren M., Gregory N., Susan L., two times.
	And just since we read that last list.
	Julie W., Lyndon H., Gretchen C., Robert A., Michael E., Kenneth C., and Kimberly M. Thank you all so much.
	And again, before we began the program today, we were just past the 5-8 mark, so we really appreciate all of you and your support.
	But let's talk about the war.
	The U.S. has conceded That it has double the number of troops in Syria as Biden prepares to send officials.
	Yeah, that's right.
	The big lie that is there.
	They said they've got approximately 2,000 troops in Syria, more than double the previously disclosed number of 900. And how did they get there?
	How did they get there?
	Well, I'm really just not sure.
	Did we ever have a vote?
	No.
	Again, going back to Leon Panetta, congressman who got appointed to the head of the CIA, then became the Secretary of Defense.
	And in that hearing, we had Jeff Sessions, who was at that time a senator.
	Said, you're going to tell us before we put troops in Syria, aren't you?
	Well, Senator, we'll confer with our allies in NATO and UN, and we'll let you know what we decided.
	I can't believe you're saying that!
	You were a congressman.
	You know how the Constitution works.
	Leon Panetta, so smug.
	Yeah, I don't even have to lie to these people anymore.
	I can just tell them we're going to ignore the Constitution.
	That's the big lie.
	The big lie saying that they, as a condition of their office, we're going to obey the Constitution.
	That's one of the reasons why the Constitution is important.
	It's a good design.
	The Bill of Rights is very important.
	But the main thing is, at this point, is it shows that these people have no legitimate authority, because their legitimate authority is predicated on their oath to the Constitution.
	When they violate that oath, they're not legitimate.
	There are diplomatic and operational security considerations, oftentimes with our deployments and some of those numbers, and that is certainly the case here, said Pentagon Press Secretary Patrick Ryder.
	Said, now there's 2,000 troops in Syria to fight ISIS. Do we know that?
	No, I mean, they lied to us before, and they violated the Constitution.
	And folks, it's not just people like Leon Panetta at the top, or Biden.
	It's the entire Pentagon brass.
	They violated the Constitution, sending these troops there.
	They swore to uphold the Constitution as well.
	U.S. veterans are saying, didn't we fight al-Qaeda terrorists for a reason?
	Yeah, except now they have just taken this guy, I mean, you know, he still refers to himself as Mujahideen, but we've seen them change their names from Mujahideen to Al-Qaeda to ISIS to Al-Nusra, now to this newest thing, what is it, HSL or something like that.
	And that guy has just been taken off of the terrorist list by the White House.
	The rapid fall of the oppressive Assad regime after a prolonged civil war has elicited a variety of reactions.
	One such measured response expresses, quote, hope that the process of power transition can be carried out in a manner aligned with the aspirations of the Syrian people, paving a path for the establishment of an independent government.
	Well, they didn't care about the health of the Syrian people when they were bombing these cities into rubble because of their geopolitical aspirations, did they?
	And of course, we were heavily involved in this before.
	We saw the A-10 warthog that was giving support to Al-Qaeda.
	Well, Brandon Buck.
	It says, indicative of the bizarre parallel motives that this war has created, the Taliban issued this statement, saying the fall of a brutal dictator is rare enough that we should take the opportunity to celebrate it and pay tribute to those who brought it back.
	That second statement there, you know, the first one was about paving a path for the establishment of an independent government.
	That was from the Taliban.
	The second one there, about the fall of a brutal dictator.
	We should pay tribute to those who brought it about.
	Al-Qaeda.
	That came from Bill Kristol, the warmonger.
	Kristol fails to mention that among those who brought it about were America's enemies during the global war on terror.
	We work with Al-Qaeda.
	We work with anybody to get what we want out of this stuff, don't we?
	Well, will Trump bomb Iran?
	Will he carve up Syria?
	It looks like that is what is being talked about, and it looks like it is pretty certain that that will happen.
	Now, with all this happening, Putin issued a challenge on, I think it was on Friday, no, Thursday.
	Thursday, he issued the challenge.
	And he said, if you think that your modern air defenses can stand up to this hypersonic missile, you know, the Ereshnik missile, he said, maybe we should have a technological duel.
	And he proposed this.
	He said, well, if those Western experts believe that they can stop the Ereshnik, they should suggest to their employers in the West and the U.S. to conduct a technological experiment.
	For instance, a high-tech duel of the 21st century.
	Let them identify a target in Kiev, concentrate all their air defense and missile defense systems there, and then we will strike it with an Ereshnik.
	And let's see what happens.
	We're ready for such an experiment.
	Is the other side ready?
	Said Putin.
	Well, they didn't get an answer.
	And the silence was deafening, right?
	And then after one or two days, what we saw was a hypersonic missile launched from Yemen.
	And of course, the Houthis aren't developing hypersonic missiles.
	They don't have that technology.
	So somebody would have given it to them.
	Or would have put the missile there and probably launched it themselves, probably Russian techs or whatever.
	But we don't know if the hypersonic missile is Russian or Chinese yet.
	Does it matter?
	I mean, we're trying to pick a war with both of these countries at the same time.
	But they fired it at Tel Aviv, 1,300 miles away.
	And the Iron Dome was not able to stop it.
	and so in a sense that was a technological duel to show that they had technological superiority this imbalance is the type of thing that everybody's always been worried about and of course the other part of the question is i think it kind of shows who the aggressors are here i point out many times the tsa Is incapable of defending with the tactics that they use.
	Actually, it actually makes airport security worse if you stop and think about it.
	Many people have said it publicly who are experts.
	They say, if you bunch everybody together at an entrance, then guess what?
	If you've got a terrorist, just like we saw at the Christmas market, if everybody's bunched together at the entrance, that can be a devastating attack right there before anybody goes through security.
	It's far more devastating to get them at the TSA bottleneck that is there.
	We've seen that at churches that have been attacked by Islamic terrorists.
	People queued up to go through the TSA-style security, and that's where they put the bomber, right?
	So if there was a threat, and we know that there's not a threat, because in 2011, as part of a lawsuit, The TSA published on their lawsuit, they redacted it, but somebody made a mistake and they put up the unredacted copy first and then they corrected it after a few hours and we could see what they redacted.
	And what they redacted was that in 2011, they said there was no threat to airports or airplanes.
	Well, we know that because if there had been a threat, then we would have seen a lot of attacks because that is not an effective defense against it.
	And so we don't have an effective defense against this hypersonic missile.
	And I think we can kind of see who the aggressors are.
	Or at least who wants to continue the war.
	In spite of the fact...
	That we're at a technological disadvantage.
	We have the Pentagon and the Congress, both parties, want to continue to push this war.
	For the longest time, Joel Skousen has been coming on my program, even before I had the independent program, and saying that the plan by the American establishment Was to push into a nuclear war.
	And that they believed that they could survive, they, in their bunkers.
	They could survive the first wave of attacks.
	And that they could prevail, whatever that means, in a nuclear war context.
	But he said they wanted that.
	And it certainly looks like it.
	Now that they don't have a technological advantage, they continue to push it.
	So Putin suggested the results of such a duel be of great interest to both Russia and the U.S., whose air defense systems are currently operating in Ukraine.
	But, of course, World War III is not going to be fought with conventional weapons.
	There's this hypersonic thing in terms of strategic weapons.
	They can put nuclear weapons on it, anything that they want.
	But when you look at the actual battles, it's not really going to be aircraft carriers.
	It's not going to be battleships.
	You know, we always have the equipment for the previous war.
	It's not going to be fighter jets flown by humans.
	No, it's going to be drones.
	And it's not going to be humans, it's going to be robots.
	As a matter of fact, when you look at what China has done, they just dropped a video of them dropping a hypersonic drone.
	And they dropped it from a balloon.
	Oh, that sounds familiar, doesn't it?
	A Chinese balloon?
	Here's some pictures of the hypersonic drone, I guess, relayed from it.
	And they actually landed the drone as well.
	You'll see that as well.
	Pretty amazing how fast that thing is.
	And when you look at what Pete Hegseth has said about China...
	All of its war games against China.
	We lose every time.
	Inside the Pentagon War Games.
	We know what our real capability...
	You see, we didn't even get to this part of the War on Warriors.
	I mean, the military-industrial complex, the way we procure weapons systems.
	You know, we're always...
	The way our system works, the way our bureaucratic system works, where the speed of weapons procurement works, we're always...
	A decade behind in fighting the last war.
	Whereas China, we have, what did Rumsfeld say?
	You go to the war, the army you have.
	China's building an army specifically dedicated to defeating the United States of America.
	That is their strategic outset.
	Take hypersonic missiles.
	So if our whole power projection platform is aircraft carriers and the ability to project power that way strategically around the globe, and yeah, we have a nuclear triad and all of that, but a big part of it And if, you know, 15 hypersonic missiles can take out our 10 aircraft carriers in the first 20 minutes of a conflict.
	That's right.
	Just like, you know, the battleships, they all got sunk in Pearl Harbor.
	That was not really the weapon that was going to be decisive in the Second World War.
	It was going to be the aircraft carrier.
	And now the aircraft carriers are very vulnerable to this.
	The tanks, these tanks that cost $10 million worth, they're very vulnerable to cheap drones.
	That's what we've seen in Ukraine.
	Ukraine has been a harbinger, it's been a testing ground for all this stuff.
	And it's not looking good when we look at how this is going to roll out.
	As a matter of fact, the drones have been so decisive They just had an episode, 100 North Korean soldiers killed in Ukraine, and one battle.
	And what is so horrific about this is, and we've seen these pictures, we've seen Russian drones killing Ukrainian soldiers, we've seen Ukrainian drones killing Russian soldiers and hunting them down.
	I think back to the Vietnam War.
	I grew up, I was, you know, they ended the war just as I was graduating from high school.
	But I knew a lot of older people who got drafted, sent into that war, older than me.
	And I remember how public opinion turned against that war as Walter Cronkite would every night read the list of people who had died.
	And I think that is important.
	Those people's lives were important.
	What were they dying for?
	What was the purpose of the Vietnam War?
	It's a very cynical Robert McNamara and Pentagon.
	They didn't care anything about the lives of those soldiers.
	Again, they were using it, number one, as a live fire exercise, number two, as a test of weapon stuff.
	They were not trying to win the war.
	They won all the battles, but then after they won the battle, they would turn it back over to the enemy.
	It was absolutely insane what they were doing.
	It made no sense, just like our foreign policy right now.
	Makes no sense.
	Our war policy makes no sense.
	But by listing these people's names, and isn't it interesting, you know, Walter Cronkite came under a lot of fire from the people pushing this war.
	Came under a lot of fire for doing that.
	But what do we have at the Vietnam War Memorial?
	We have a list of names that are there.
	And every night he would read the names.
	Now, think about this in the future war.
	Because as we see these drones that are being remotely piloted, so they're transmitting video back, and that video is being captured, recorded, and publicized, and we've seen over and over again the nightmare scenario of these drones filming their victims up close and personal.
	This is not dropping bombs on cities and killing tens of thousands of people or whatever.
	It's not that kind of long-distance warfare where you don't see faces.
	With the drone stuff, It's one-on-one.
	And as it hunts these people down and you see them in their desperation throwing stuff at the drone or trying to hide in the forest or whatever, you see their face at the very last moment before the drone comes in and blows up and stops transmission.
	Now think about how devastating that's going to be in a future war where the enemy is putting out not just the names of people But you're going to see these American soldiers in the last moments before they are killed.
	You're going to see their faces as they desperately tried to escape this drone.
	That's what's coming in the future war.
	And it's going to be an interesting dynamic to see if these warmongers can keep their wars up with that kind of stuff happening.
	So you had 100 North Korean soldiers.
	And the Ukrainians were using the drones to wipe them out.
	So the North Korean troops had become a burden to their Russian allies because they don't know anything about drones.
	And so they wiped out this group of North Korean soldiers in this battle.
	And then the Ukrainians were able to film the Russians trying to hide their identity.
	By burning the faces of the North Korean dead beyond recognition.
	It truly is horrific what is happening there on both sides.
	And so they want to try to hide those faces to keep people from understanding what is going on with it.
	And yet, when we look at this missile duel with the U.S., this is happening as we continue to escalate The American and British attacks, direct American and direct British attacks into Russia with the Storm Shadow cruise missile that the British are firing and with the ATACMS,
	I think, ATACMS. I don't know if that's the way the Pentagon pronounces it, but we'll just call them ATACMS. The Kremlin on Thursday revealed that the day prior, Ukraine's military launched six U.S.-made long-range attack missiles and four British-made storm shadow missiles against Russian territory.
	And folks, these are all being done by U.S. and British personnel.
	Nobody is fooled about any of this stuff.
	And this is the same day that Putin said, well, maybe we ought to have that missile duel.
	You think you've got the technology to stop us?
	Russia's military said that its anti-air defense systems were able to intercept all four attackums and three of the four storm shadows.
	The statement further vowed a harsh response to the attacks, given that this is at least the third or fourth major wave of long-range attacks.
	Western missiles have been used perhaps a half dozen times or more against Russian territory at this point.
	Only a month after Washington initially gave Kiev permission.
	They didn't just give them permission.
	They're actually targeting and operating these things for them.
	So...
	Ukraine struck Russian territory with at least 13 missiles, 84 drones, triggering a fire at an oil refinery in the southern Rostov region that burned for hours, said Russian officials.
	As Russia advances at the fastest pace since the start of the war in 2022, Ukraine has repeatedly tried to strike Russia's oil infrastructure, which funds a significant chunk of the Russian war economy.
	It's not just the war economy, it's their economy, period.
	And all this stuff is about gas pipelines.
	The Syrian war is about that.
	And the Ukrainian war has become about that.
	That's why they blew up the Nordstrom pipelines.
	It's about the U.S. and its allies having a monopoly on...
	And this is the interesting thing.
	On the very thing that they say we can't have.
	And that is oil and gas.
	But especially gas.
	They're going to continue this, but of course they will shut it down for us.
	They're using it for their military weapons.
	They're using it for their private jets.
	They're going to have a monopoly on power for their spy centers, the AI centers.
	And it won't necessarily even be just nuclear.
	As I pointed out last week, Exxon is getting into it, saying, well, we'll set up gas to gas power plants and natural gas power plants, and it'll be just for AI. We won't put it on the grid for anybody else.
	They're going to have their own private thing, whether it's nuclear or whether it is so-called fossil fuels.
	They will have all the power and we will have nothing.
	And they will use their power for their war machine.
	They'll use it for their surveillance police state machines, the AI. The actions of the Kiev regime, supported by its Western curators, will not go unanswered, says the Russian defense ministry.
	And that's when he was saying we should have a duel, the Resnick versus NATO missile defense.
	There's no chance of shooting these things down, these Western experts who say that they can.
	Let's see if you can.
	And again, within a day or two of that statement, hypersonic missile, 1,300 miles from Yemen, That was probably also run by Russians.
	Again, we play that same game.
	And they probably fired that thing and sent it in to one of the more heavily fortified areas.
	But again, 1,300 miles.
	That probably only took it about 10 or 15 minutes.
	I forget what the range numbers were on that stuff.
	And they were defenseless to do that.
	But the Pentagon wants to pick a fight.
	With China?
	With Russia?
	At the same time, they don't have any weapons to answer any of this stuff.
	We'll take a quick break, and we'll be right back.
	We'll be right back.
	We'll be right back.
	We'll be right back.
	You're listening to The David Knight Show.
	And thank you, Andromeda One.
	Thank you very much.
	That's kind and generous.
	He says, Merry Christmas to David Knight and family, audience, and to Marty.
	Marty, who is matching funds today.
	Thank you, Marty.
	That is a great gift as well, the matching funds.
	And this is the fourth time this year that he's done this.
	Andromeda One.
	Also, then another tip.
	Thank you, David.
	I purchased a Christmas album last year and received the file on December 25th, 2023. It's a couple minutes longer because what we did was we added the new song.
	And again, we'll send you a link to it, and you can download any of the songs individually, so you can just download that new song.
	Or you can download the 2024 album, which has the new song there.
	And if you got the album last year, we'll just give you the link.
	Just let us know that you already bought it, and we'll give you the link for that extra song.
	And you can also, like I said before, if people are using a phone or using something like an iPad, and you're not really sure...
	How to download a file and incorporate it in there.
	Using that link, you can play them directly from that link.
	So the files are there, and you can click on a file and listen to it, or you can click on a file and download it.
	And that's each of the individual songs or the album itself.
	Yeah, we have a lot of different places.
	It goes out pretty much to all of the podcasts, except for Spotify.
	I've been banned on Spotify.
	And they've done it to me multiple times, so I don't try anymore.
	But yeah, we put it out there in multiple podcasts, and a lot of times it can be hard to find it on a podcast.
	So if you go to thedavidknightshow.com, you can find links to different podcast platforms, direct links to where the show is.
	Eric, thank you very much for the tip.
	He says, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
	Well, Merry Christmas to you too.
	Thank you.
	High boost.
	Will Trump be sworn in on the Trump Bible?
	There we go.
	It'll be interesting.
	It's got the Constitution in it, and the Bill of Rights, as well as the King James Bible, three documents that I don't think he's ever looked at.
	It'll be interesting to have him sworn in on that.
	Jason Barker.
	When Trump talks about his first hundred days, he should say in his first hundred trillion instead, yeah, that he's selling.
	Before I leave the war stuff, There was, as we look at the escalation of these things, and understand that there's absolutely no reason to think that we are protected against this kind of attack.
	When we look at what happened in Ukraine, rather in Russia, Ukraine sent in, these headlines crack me up.
	Ukraine's 9-11 style drone attack happened.
	On a skyscraper 600 miles from Russia's front line.
	Let's take a look at how much like 9-11 this is.
	Is it coming as a plane?
	Hits it, boom.
	All scaled down, right?
	Smaller plane, smaller building.
	It hits it, and then there's a fire that comes up after that.
	This is what the fire looks like.
	Interestingly enough, that skyscraper didn't fall down in its own footprint.
	And adjacent buildings that were not hit by that drone did not collapse in their own footprint either.
	That drone, by the way, had a 50-kilogram warhead on it, about 100 pounds, about 110 pounds, actually, smashing into the upper floors of the city's tallest building and exploding into a fireball.
	No casualties were immediately reported.
	There were eight other drones that attacked the city.
	Six of them hit residential buildings.
	One hit an industrial facility, and one was shot down over the river, they said.
	I guess, you know, when you look at that, did Ukraine believe the official 9-11 story?
	If they did, they're in big trouble.
	They got people who really believe that.
	We'll make these buildings fall down if we fly a drone into it.
	It's even got 110 pounds of explosives.
	What kind?
	We don't know.
	This was in a place called Tatarstan.
	There's so many different stands out there, you know?
	Chaos stand is really a term that somebody coined.
	I forget who it was.
	But we now have, as we look at our attempts to try to catch up, we have yet another leak on the game platform War Thunder.
	Classified fighter jet specs were leaked on War Thunder yet again.
	And is this even something that's going to be a factor in future wars?
	I mean, when you talk about it, the guy that I had talking about the four battlefields, and of course, the four battlefields were four different areas of competition with China.
	They want to fight China so badly.
	And yet, you know, he was saying in dogfights, it's one of the reasons I got him on, he was talking about AI, and that's what I wanted to talk to him about.
	In the dogfights, the artificial intelligence would win every time.
	The AI robotic planes, and there's a couple of reasons for it.
	It can process things much faster, but you can get planes that can make turns that would kill a person.
	They couldn't withstand the G-forces.
	but you can do that with these um ai uh planes out there and so when you look at this um this fighter jet thing is that really something that is state-of-the-art or is this something for previous wars nevertheless the war thunder forums yet another controversy uh they
	This is a free-to-play online combat game that was launched in 2012. It's now got operations that are spread across Europe, including offices in Germany, Hungary, Cyprus.
	They've got 200 employees.
	I don't know how they make their money on a free game like that.
	You pay to unlock vehicles.
	So it's all about the equipment.
	And so it draws a lot of people who are real soldiers.
	And so as a result, like we saw with this particular thing, there was an argument about some equipment.
	In order to bolster that argument, somebody leaked some classified information.
	That's not the first time this has happened.
	They said they've had previous incidents have involved technical details of the Challenger 2 tank, of the Leclerc main battle tank, and of a Chinese ammunition system.
	Each time, as underscored, the platform struggled to balance enthusiasm for military accuracy with the protection of sensitive information.
	So what was at the heart of this debate was something called the CAPTOR radar.
	Discussions centered on comparisons between its mechanically scanning and its electronically scanning.
	So they have two different forms of CAPTOR radar.
	One is CAPTOR-M for mechanical.
	The other one is CAPTOR-E for electronic.
	The electronic version supposedly has the ability to reduce scanning times significantly.
	Electronics are going to be faster than mechanicals.
	Players disagreed over the exact technical capabilities, prompting somebody to share restricted data to make their point.
	This is kind of like that guy that's that young soldier who put out some classified information.
	Now they're going to put him in jail for quite some time.
	But this is the second leak on War Thunder this month that we know of.
	So Trump is saying that he's going to reverse the very stupid long-range strikes on Russia.
	You know, the attackums and the shadow, whatever they call it, with the UK.
	Trump said it was a big mistake, quote-unquote, for the Biden administration to green light the escalation, quote, without asking what he thought.
	Wait a minute.
	Ha ha ha ha ha ha.
	It's not a big mistake because it can get us involved in a war.
	It's not a big mistake because it was against the Constitution.
	No, they should have asked Trump first.
	That's the big mistake.
	It's all about him.
	It's not about the Constitution.
	You've got to ask Trump first.
	That's the stupid take on this.
	And so...
	You know, the U.S. is still conducting new strikes in Syria.
	We saw the pictures as the, you know, before Assad fell, that we were already involved there.
	And now they're escalating it.
	And there is still no congressional authorization.
	Did Trump say that was a big mistake?
	Well, no.
	I mean, it began before Trump, but it continued all through the Trump administration.
	He didn't do anything about it.
	He knew we were in Syria.
	He said, take the oil, right?
	So, again, they've not authorized the war yet.
	The U.S. on Monday bombed two countries, Yemen and Syria.
	Yemen is where they fired the Houthi missile, the hypersonic Houthis.
	Uh, the Hootie Defense Ministry, uh, building in the Yemi Capitol was reportedly among those that were targeted by U.S. warplanes.
	Again, keep kicking the can.
	um Kicking the anthill here.
	And, you know, they launched a hypersonic missile against Tel Aviv.
	The Iron Dome was defenseless.
	CENTCOM said on Monday that American forces bombed ISIS camps in Syria.
	Are these the guys that we fought?
	Four?
	Now we're bombing them?
	Could be.
	Killing at least 12 ISIS fighters.
	I guess that could be friendly fire, right?
	I mean, we did have a friendly fire incident.
	We had a naval incident where a jet was shot down by a U.S. Navy ship by mistake.
	Fortunately, both of the occupants escaped unharmed, or at least were not killed.
	They might have been harmed by the ejection process.
	I think one of them was hurt by the ejection process.
	That is not a...
	A very gentle process, to say the least.
	But this might have been friendly fire as well, if we're dropping bombs on ISIS. It now appears the Pentagon is in a renewed fight against both Iran, Axis, and Yemen, hardline Sunni terrorists in the heart of Syria.
	The U.S.-designated terror organization, HTS, in its prior iteration, was an al-Qaeda offshoot.
	But, of course, now it's not.
	It's not at all.
	It has nothing to do with any of that.
	And the Trump transition team is considering strikes on Iran.
	The peace president, you know.
	Strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities are being seriously considered within the Trump transition team, according to the Wall Street Journal.
	They said Washington and Tel Aviv are threatening to attack Iran's nuclear energy infrastructure.
	Oh, you can bet that they will do that.
	Trump reportedly plans to continue aid to Ukraine.
	This is as well as getting NATO to up the ante from 2% to 5%.
	Let's increase it two and a half times.
	He's not a peace president.
	And he's backing off of this, I'm going to get peace on day one.
	Well, we might.
	I'll try.
	We'll see what happens.
	And yet he's telling NATO, bump it up two and a half times what you're doing now, what your goal is now.
	Think about this.
	World War I, we had Woodrow Wilson who said, you know, we're not going to have war.
	He was the peace president.
	That's what he campaigned on.
	FDR, same thing.
	We're not going to have war.
	He campaigned on that.
	Then got us into the Second World War.
	Is it going to be Trump that gets us into the Third World War, campaigning on peace?
	But he wants to escalate what's going on in Ukraine?
	A Financial Times report has cited European officials who say Trump's team told them that he plans to continue military aid to Kiev after his inauguration.
	NATO member states also he wants to increase defense spending to 5% of their GDP. Like the first time.
	Talking getting out of NATO was red meat to the MAGA people, and yet he was just bidding it up.
	Getting them, his job at that point in time was to get them ready for the war that was coming.
	And this is it again.
	As a matter of fact, even Zelensky ran on a campaign of peace immediately after.
	His peace envoy, Alexei Orestikov, said there will be no peace.
	Instead, in 2019, he said, we will have war with Russia in 2022, and Ukraine will be devastated, but we'll get into NATO. That's the good news.
	Hungary's Viktor Orban said that the U.S. and EU have pumped over $300 billion in financial aid and military assistance into Kiev.
	He said those are huge numbers.
	And he said, what could that have done He said it could have done wonders for European people themselves, instead of sinking the funds into an unwinnable war, while avoiding the necessity of negotiating with Moscow.
	And so things are getting crazier and crazier and dumber and dumber.
	We have a Nutcracker cancellation still going on, canceling the culture, even Russian culture, even to the extent of canceling the Nutcracker for Christmas.
	And this is in Lithuania.
	Lithuanians will miss the world-famous Russian ballet masterpiece, The Nutcracker.
	If politicians continue to butt heads over Beavis and Butt-Head, take over Tchaikovsky.
	There we go.
	Various butt heads.
	Over whether an informal ban should stay in place through Christmas and beyond, said the New York Times.
	Lithuania's National Opera Ballet Theater removed the Nutcracker back in 2022. The issue of a soft ban on Russian culture is once again on the agenda after the new culture minister admitted to liking Tchaikovsky's work, and the Nutcracker in particular.
	There's no reason, he said, to, quote, be afraid that after watching a Christmas fairy tale that we will become pro-Kremlin.
	Putting a negative label on their ethnicity and their culture, I think, is completely wrong.
	Inadequate, and politicians should not behave that way, he said.
	His predecessor, however, promoted the so-called mental quarantine policy against all Russian culture.
	That's the way these guys operate.
	Absolutely is.
	Well, we're going to take a break.
	Before we do, I want to thank Random Guy.
	Thank you very much.
	Thank you.
	That is very generous.
	I appreciate that.
	Merry Christmas, Pappy Knight and family.
	Thank you as well, Marty.
	Yes, thank you, Marty.
	And yeah, Pappy Knight was what I said we're going to tell the little guy that he can call me because I think I need to have a name that's going to make me smile every time I hear it.
	We're going to take a quick break and we'll be right back.
	PIANO PLAYS
	You're listening to The David Knight Show.
	Wow.
	Well, we have some interesting things happening around Christmas time.
	We had a situation in the UK. You know, I said on Friday, I talked about how a lot of people need to think a little bit more deliberately about what we tell our kids this time of year about Santa and really what that involves.
	And we had a person who did that in the UK and got a lot of grief for this.
	This is a vicar.
	A vicar, the vicar who ruined Christmas is the headlines from the Daily Mail.
	Now this guy is a Grinch for telling kids that there was no Santa Claus.
	And these are not little kids.
	These are kids that are 10 to 11 years old.
	In the sixth year of school, he was talking to the kids, and he said, you're all in year six now, 10 to 11 years old.
	He says, let's be real.
	Santa isn't real.
	And he was talking about the nativity.
	And so you can understand, this is why I always, with our kids, it's like, I want to tell them the truth.
	And there's a lot of made-up fictional stuff that's been intermixed in with the stories that we tell about the incarnation.
	So I always was very deliberate.
	I even had a – Karen and I were talking about that the other day.
	I even did a PowerPoint demonstration for the kids because we were doing homeschooling about, you know, what I thought – My understanding of the time of year that Jesus would have been born and you can kind of trace that if you look at the fact that The father of John the Baptist, they say which group he's in, and we know they would go twice a year.
	And so we knew about the approximate time that he would be there.
	And so, you know, you can kind of infer that it might have been the fall or the spring.
	Don't know exactly.
	And we weren't told to celebrate Christmas, but it's always good to focus on something that is real, I think, and to focus on the nativity.
	And so he's talking about that and then saying, and of course, the stuff about Santa is not real.
	He told the children the parents were the ones eating the cookies left out for Santa on Christmas Eve.
	The remarks are said to have left children in floods of tears.
	These are 10 to 11-year-old kids.
	Left them in floods of tears.
	This is where this wokeness kind of stuff comes in, right?
	These kids want to live in a fantasy world and they don't want to tell them about that?
	Now teachers have begun making badges for pupils that read, believe, you know, in the name of the school and believe, trying to inspire some festive magic.
	They also wrote to parents an email explaining how they've told children that all stories and legends around Christmas were legitimate.
	All of them.
	All of them.
	One parent said, I don't know how this can be undone, but I think it is absolutely disgusting.
	I think it's disgusting that parents would lie to kids.
	The parents know that Santa's not real.
	Kids are going to find out.
	What are they going to think that you're lying to them about?
	Mother said she was now trying to push as much magic, quote-unquote, over the festive period as possible.
	This is Daily Mail talking about the occult, in a sense.
	What did the reverend do?
	He caved.
	He caved!
	He has since written to pupils to apologize and said to have accepted, please accept my remarks as an error of judgment.
	I should never tell you the truth, right?
	He was leading a lesson talking about the nativity story from the Bible.
	He made some comments about the existence of Father Christmas.
	Look, this is not about a Saint Nicholas or whatever.
	They just came out with some stuff saying, oh, look, we found the ossuary or some tomb or something of a guy, Nicholas, that they called him a saint or whatever.
	This isn't even about that.
	This is about Coca-Cola and the corporations that have created this kind of Santa Claus fable.
	Paul has accepted that this is an error of judgment, and he should not have done this.
	The school and the diocese have worked together to address this issue.
	And the headteacher has now written to the parents a second time, sending them Paul's apology.
	Well, I don't think the Apostle Paul would have apologized for that.
	But take a look at this.
	This is a Grinch Christmas.
	This is being done in the United States.
	This is a Christmas service, so-called.
	There is the Grinch pretending he's playing a big thing.
	This is in a church.
	Got some guy dressed up in a green costume, pretending to be the Grinch.
	Of course, we know the real Grinch was the guy who told kids that Santa Claus doesn't exist, that the nativity is true, but Santa Claus is not.
	And so, they've got him doing a Michael Jackson thriller dance, and then they've got...
	We've got Michael Jackson, they've got a whole bunch of musical numbers that they put together here, and of course this is sandwiched in between their so-called worship music and a sermon.
	There you go.
	Folks, this is not the way to find a relationship with Christ.
	When I look at this, I think, has LGBT become...
	Is the T now becoming thespian?
	Because I see so many of these churches that it's just amateur hour.
	You know?
	And that's...
	Let's go there.
	We can play music.
	Now we're at the point where it's amateur hour with the dancing and the lights and the amount of money that they've got invested in that stage there.
	It truly is disgusting.
	High Boost says, David, when I found out Santa wasn't real at age four, that was my first red pill.
	Instead of the red cap, you got the red pill.
	High Boost.
	Wait, Santa isn't real?
	No!
	Neither is the Grinch.
	And you lay this foundation, and the next thing you know, you've got...
	Gender dolls that are being pushed out.
	And this is what's happening at the University of Minnesota, Minnesota, where Tim Waltz is governor, right?
	They're paying kids and their parents $20 to $60 to participate in something called Let's Talk About Gender.
	We're looking to hear from transgender and gender-diverse children between the ages of 5 and 10 years old and their parents about a new hands-on activity to talk about gender and bodies.
	We can't get real about anything.
	And if we're going to push this kind of garbage to the kids, you know, it all begins with a full spectrum.
	If you're not going to tell the kids the truth about Santa Claus, and they can get tied up in this, think about how immature kids are.
	If at 10 and 11 years old, they still think there's a Santa Claus.
	And that's how they can get to them with this gender stuff.
	Shea Bishop, thank you so much for the tip.
	And Marty, thank you so much.
	You've been such a kind supporter and such a blessing to us.
	All of you have been a real blessing to our family.
	Thank you very much.
	much.
	Have a good day.
	The Common Man music 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.
