	Music. Music.

	Music.
	You're listening to The David Knight Show.
	As the clock strikes 13, it's Tuesday, the 24th of December, year of our Lord 2024.
	Well, today we're going to be in with some Christmas stories.
	Um...
	And, of course, we'll take a look at Festivus and the waste that is being talked about.
	It's not really about the money.
	There's some really evil stuff there.
	But, of course, government is the Christmas grift that keeps on taking and taking.
	And we're going to take a look at what Trump would like for Christmas.
	He's got a list.
	Panama, Greenland, other things like that.
	Nothing big, you know.
	Musk, by the way, is the one who is getting all the packages delivered to him.
	And we'll take a look at what is in it for him and for his brother in terms of these drones.
	Some interesting developments there.
	But it really is about the great taking.
	And we're going to focus on that as we look at the end of the year and where we're going to be headed with this kind of retail CBDC.
	Even the Bank of International Settlement is now pushing that.
	And that's exactly what Trump 2.0 is all about.
	We'll be right back.
	Well, I just want to say thank you to everyone that The generosity yesterday was overwhelming, and we are now over seven-eighths, which is amazing.
	We had, it was the fundraiser yesterday, plus we went through and we got the third week of December and checks that people had sent.
	And so I'm going to read those names later in the program.
	But we are so grateful to all of you because we were concerned about this.
	We were down so low and we only had a few more days of broadcast left.
	Today we're broadcasting.
	Tomorrow will be a repeat.
	And then on Thursday will be a repeat.
	So Christmas Day will be a repeat.
	And the day after we'll have best of interviews.
	On Friday we've got Gard Goldsmith who's going to be here live from snowy New Hampshire.
	And it'll be interesting, always interesting when Gard is here.
	Next week we will have the regular schedule, except we'll be off on New Year's Day.
	But we'll be back on Thursday the 2nd.
	Tony will be with us on that day.
	So we're looking forward to that.
	But a lot of people are looking forward to tonight.
	And we've got a lot of kids who are looking for Santa to come.
	And NORAD has been feeding this thing for quite some time.
	They actually put together some little videos.
	And, of course, it was a colonel who somehow got a call by accident or something from a child.
	Really?
	In 1955?
	Where do you find NORAD's number in 1955?
	Was it in the phone book?
	Do you remember phone books?
	No, they didn't have phone books there.
	You couldn't look up NORAD there.
	And probably a long distance number, too.
	Remember how expensive long distance calls were?
	They're very expensive.
	But somehow, a kid, we're supposed to believe, called a colonel, who just happened to be in public relations for NORAD. Just happened to be.
	And he explained to him, yeah, we're tracking Santa Claus.
	Again, why would a child...
	Know about NORAD and ask them about tracking Santa Claus.
	But they began this whole thing.
	Here is part of the myth.
	Not just the Santa Claus myth, but the NORAD myth.
	Colonel Schaup's intrepid public relations officer hurried to share the story with the world.
	Making the Colonel very well loved and regarded for the updates he was willing to provide on Santa's magical journey.
	In the years to come, NORAD would continue to update the world on Santa's flight every 24th of December by using the same tools and equipment they use 24-7, 365 days a year.
	Safe travels, Santa.
	Fly comfortably, knowing that we have the watch.
	That's right.
	They're watching everybody.
	And as for you, dear viewers, thank you for tuning in and spending some time with us.
	Be sure to follow along as Santa makes his way to your home by visiting www.noradsanta.org or by calling 877-HINORAD. Until next time.
	Until next time.
	That's right.
	You know, and it's such a perfect fit, isn't it?
	You know, they know when you're sleeping.
	They know when you're awake.
	They know if you've been bad or good.
	They're watching everything.
	You're omniscient, omnipotent.
	Government, right there.
	Kind of like God, right?
	And, you know, that was...
	What else are they lying to us about?
	But, of course, if it's the government chips in on it, that's the final word, right?
	And so, just like around that time, you had Miracle on 34th Street.
	How did they know that this department, or Santa Claus, was the real Santa Claus?
	Remember in the trial?
	The U.S. Postal Service.
	Brings in all the letters and delivers them to him.
	And that proved it.
	If the government recognizes that this person is Santa Claus, or if NORAD tells you that he's flying around and they got him on their radar, they don't know what the drones are, but they do know Santa Claus.
	And they can track him everywhere.
	Well, they know what the drones are as well.
	But when the government says it, it's true, no matter how absurd.
	You know, don't believe your lying eyes.
	Don't believe your critical thoughts.
	If the government tells you, just believe.
	That's it.
	Believe.
	Believe in what the government says.
	This is what they're doing right now with their Santa tracker.
	You can go online.
	And this is, they've got it live on their website.
	You can see it live on Google.
	Google's got its own as well.
	The cherished tradition dates back to 1955 when a misprint in a department store advertisement led a young child to call a Colorado military command center and asked to speak to Santa Claus.
	And again, who are we to question government?
	Who are we to question the fact that this kid is calling?
	It's a misprint in the ad.
	He didn't dial a wrong number, but he gets a long-distance call to this NORAD colonel, Air Force Colonel, Harry Shoup, who picked up the call that night, played along, and assured the child that he was Santa.
	So he wasn't tracking Santa.
	He was actually Santa.
	Each year, at least 100,000 kids call into NORAD to inquire about Santa's location.
	Millions more follow online in nine languages.
	So you might also, while you've got them on the line, ask them to give you the straight shots on the New Jersey drones, okay?
	It's crazy.
	How about this, Rand Paul, for your Festivus report?
	You want to do something about NORAD and the money that they spend on this?
	So they've got a large division there that is websites and all the rest of this stuff.
	You know, you could put this under, there's a section in his Festivus report.
	We'll get to that in a minute.
	I think it was like $10 million or something that was just stuff on magic.
	And I imagine this would be there, right?
	This could be in the magic section of Festivus.
	NORAD has had the online tracker for children to watch Santa travel across the world in real time.
	I just showed you there.
	They can also download the Santa Tracker app.
	You're paying for this, by the way, your tax dollars.
	On both the Apple App Store and Google Play Store, you got the toll-free number, 877-HI-NORAD. I don't know what the number was back in 1955. Of course, Google is getting in on the scam as well.
	So, again, I don't even believe the weather app anymore, let alone the Santa app.
	And here's the question.
	This is an excellent essay from Daily Skeptic, from Dr. David Bell.
	He said, how can science tell us the meaning of life?
	That's a really important question, because we look to science for answers for everything, don't we?
	We're talking about NORAD. My son, Whistler, is doing the show this morning.
	He said, the heroic propagandist.
	KWD-68.
	Norad can track hypersonic Santa.
	That's right.
	He'd have to be traveling hypersonic speeds to get all these different places.
	He'd have instantaneous, I don't know, he's omnipresent.
	He's everywhere.
	He's like God.
	He knows everything.
	He's all-powerful.
	Let's see.
	You're in Dallas.
	It says, do you have a cash app, sir?
	Yes, we do.
	And it is.
	Can you look it up on the website?
	We'll mention it.
	But it is on the website, thedavidknightshow.com.
	You have to scroll down to the bottom to see where you can support the show.
	But it's there, and I forget what it is called.
	Maybe we'll sort of get that up for us, and I'll tell you in just a second.
	TreeFree56.
	But he travels on a drone or a balloon.
	We would have never discovered Santa if he did.
	That's right.
	Harpsey, better watch out for all the drones and the orbs flying around.
	That's right.
	He's got some competition up there this year.
	Somebody in...
	I forget where it was.
	Saw the picture.
	They had an owl fly down the chimney.
	They must have thought it was Santa Claus, right?
	And perch on the tree.
	And Australia had a woman walk in, took a picture of it, found a koala up in their Christmas tree sitting there.
	So that's one up on Christmas vacation where they just had the live squirrel.
	And do you have, can you just give me the number on it?
	There we are, right there.
	Cash app, good.
	And it's Dollar David Knight Show.
	Dollar David Knight Show.
	Thank you for asking.
	I appreciate that.
	But let's talk about the meaning of life and if science can tell us what the meaning of life is.
	This is Dr. David Bell.
	He said, imagine for a moment that there's nothing of worth in this world as worth has no intrinsic meaning.
	If you want to take the evolutionary viewpoint, each human, like each worm or bacterium, is simply a product of chemical reactions occurring over millennia.
	Biological mass is all we are.
	A bunch of random chemicals that somehow assembled.
	Eventually, inevitably, they end up replicating certain patterns as almost any alternate configuration decays its structure returning to chemical soup.
	Movement of charged particles between some cells results in contraction of others or avoidance of nearby objects once in motion or a state within our neurons that increases potential to preserve the pattern and to replicate it.
	At its complex level in humans, we term this a thought.
	Well, all I can say is, I just don't have enough faith to believe in evolution.
	It's so disconnected from reality.
	And even from science.
	Because science presumes that there is something that can be determined.
	If it's all chance random processes, we don't know anything.
	A state that enhances preservation and replication, we call that self-gratification.
	We can also call it greed.
	A drive to enhance one's self through the use of other objects.
	So if we're simply chemical constructs, then this is the only thing that matters.
	These objects can be anything.
	They can be rocks, plants, other humans.
	The object doesn't matter in and of itself.
	Other humans become meaningless chemical constructs Unless closely sharing the same genetic code.
	You want to know how the elitists can justify what they want to do to the rest of us?
	How they can justify putting out a depopulation, bioweapon shot?
	How they can justify lying to us about everything?
	Because all that matters is that they climb to the top of the evolutionary heap.
	That you're nothing special.
	That there's no creator that they will answer to.
	Codes that express greed more effectively may replicate more effectively.
	This means accumulating wealth and power and safeguarding descendants.
	In this view, our relationship with all other matter only has meaning through its enhancement of ourselves.
	And we're programmed for short-term gratification.
	Lovers of self.
	That's it.
	That's how God describes this.
	The other consequence of viewing humans only as biological mass is that when a body's internal environment deteriorates to an extent that it can no longer maintain itself, it ends as a specific entity.
	It's not death, because life never really existed.
	A highly complex set of chemical reactions ceased to be self-sustaining, and another cascade took over, breaking down the physical structures that the former had produced.
	The neuronal circuitry that we call the mind disintegrates, and what we call thoughts stop.
	The horror or fear that this may induce is not meaningful in any way, just a product of more chemistry turned toward persistence for self-replication.
	However, it is horror and fear to the extent that a body perceives it or feels it, and many people do every day.
	We feel a horror when staring into the void, and that has made humans wonder for millennia whether there is more than emptiness and self-gratification.
	Such thoughts can be put aside by doing things that distract us.
	We can numb our brains with drugs.
	We can concentrate on the pursuit of money.
	Or using and disposing of any other object to satisfy our drives.
	This might include other humans.
	On Epstein Island, for example.
	Or families in the way of a pipeline.
	Or children in a mine digging rare earth materials.
	Or it could be them just seeing us as a receptacle for pharmaceuticals in order for the greedy businessmen and politicians to line their pockets with meaningless dollars.
	This is what it all leads to, folks.
	That kind of mindset.
	The only viable alternative to staring into the void is the opposite.
	Total, unmeasurable meaning.
	Meaning implies infinite omniscient presence and an absolute absence of irrelevance.
	If we have glimpsed both the void and the infinite, we see that they cannot be reconciled.
	Meaning that beyond ourselves makes possible all that we cannot understand directly.
	Demons, angels, evil, unrelenting love.
	Reality is no longer bound by deterministic processes in this view.
	Reality implies realities beyond physics and time.
	The impossibility of reconciling these two worldviews is the only way to make sense of an omniscient presence appearing as a baby to socially non-conforming parents in a subjugated population, then being killed off early.
	With no legacy beyond local memories of what he had said and done.
	An infinite presence, living and dying in relative obscurity in the Middle East, means the power humans seek must be irrelevant compared to the value of life itself, the value of simply being a human.
	The value of any person must be immeasurably greater And have immeasurably more meaning.
	That's right.
	You know, when you think about this and you think about Christmas.
	The words of O Holy Night.
	Till he appeared and the soul felt his worth.
	A thrill of hope.
	The weary world rejoices.
	That's what that's really about.
	The power and the wealth of a corporation, a country or a cause, is not that important.
	A being who must rationally have understanding infinitely greater than ours has demonstrated entirely different values.
	And in contradiction to Darwin and the Huxleys, by the way, you know, Musk, when you look at Musk, I always have wondered if his fascination with X was It goes back to the X Club.
	The X Club.
	In the late 1800s, you had people, the forerunner of the Huxleys, the grandfather of Aldous Huxley and Julian Huxley.
	Of course, Aldous Huxley, who wrote Brave New World.
	Julian Huxley, who coined the term transhumanism.
	Their grandfather was the founder of a club.
	They called it the X Club.
	And it had the nine, I guess, most elitist of the quote-unquote scientists of the day.
	They were very focused on pushing Darwinian evolution.
	And they were the elite intelligentsia of the day.
	And, of course, his father, Aldous Huxley's grandfather, taught H.G. Wells as well.
	This is really where this transhumanism and this technocracy really spawns from.
	Spawns from an elitist evolutionary mindset.
	And that's really what the X-Club was about.
	And of course Elon Musk himself comes from people who bought into that.
	His grandfather, Joshua Haldane, was a chiropractor, I think, in Canada.
	But he became fascinated with the technocracy.
	And actually tried to replace the government in Canada.
	They brought charges against him.
	He escaped the prosecution and then escaped to South Africa.
	But that's been ingrained in Elon Musk, this whole technocracy stuff.
	But you know, when we look at this, the contradiction...
	That we see in the Incarnation, the beginning was the Word.
	And of course, that implies intelligence, doesn't it?
	I mean, the simple thing is we don't believe that a building came about by a tornado in a junkyard.
	When we look at a car, we know that it has a maker.
	So that's one of the first things we look at.
	Well, who made that car?
	What company made that car?
	And of course, when we look at everything around us, In the world, right?
	In the beginning was a logos.
	Logos is more than just a word.
	Logos, in the word sense, is more like when you look at a computer and you've got eight bits.
	You say, well, it's an eight-bit word.
	Or you've got 16 bits.
	That's a 16-bit word or whatever.
	But, you know, just one bit pulled together into a collection starts to give it meaning.
	Right?
	Just like if you pull a bunch of genes together and a string, you wind up with DNA that gives shape and form and everything to all living things, plants and animals as well as humans.
	And so when we look at all of this, and as he winds up, Dr. David Bell, So as a Christmas story, beyond the current themes of presence and food and self-gratification, provides a window on how distant the world's dominant value system is from that which a recognition of the meaning of life represents.
	And why these two value systems, or understandings of reality, cannot be reconciled.
	An image of a baby lying in a borrowed haybox is so far removed from the world's view of success, isn't it, that it can only come from another place and mean something completely different.
	We'll be right back.
	We'll be right back.
	We'll be right back.
	Jason Barker says, Hannah spends more time in Ukraine and Israel than any other nation.
	Got lots of gifts and grifts to deliver them, doesn't he?
	Don't frag me, bro.
	Thank you very much for the tip.
	I appreciate that.
	May the God of Christ bless you and your family and us all.
	Here's us all having another great year in 2025. We walk through the valley of shadow, fear, no evil.
	Jesus Christ, our Lord, is with us.
	Absolutely.
	Octospoot says, can you scroll that up a little bit?
	The probability for life to have come from mud puddles makes winning the lotto multiple times per day look like child's flight.
	You have this whole thing about if we had an infinite amount of time, and of course we do in their imaginations have an infinite amount of time, the chimpanzee could sit down at a typewriter and over a period of time create Shakespeare just by random key punches.
	It's like, absolutely not.
	If you say that, you don't understand anything about probabilities.
	I mean, they just multiply out.
	Talk about all those individual characters.
	It's insane.
	KWD-68, American Airlines had a stoppage today.
	I bet that was a pleasant scene.
	Yeah, really.
	Wow.
	Wow.
	KWD68, Answers in Genesis, Ken Ham does a great job in renouncing the Big Bang evolution science falsehood.
	Yes, he does.
	And I would highly recommend that to you.
	I like what they do with their creation museum.
	What they do when you go there, they say, here's the facts.
	Here's what we can observe.
	Here's the way the evolutionists interpret this, and here's the way the people who believe the Bible would interpret this from two different starting points.
	And that's a very fair and rational way to view this.
	And it's really done excellent quality.
	We were involved with helping them in the early stages of the Creation Museum.
	And you actually find our family's name on a plaque there.
	But yeah, it's a great place to visit.
	I like the ARC experience even better.
	That's the second thing that they did up there.
	Guard Goldsmith.
	The very fact that people look for meaning ought to give them a hint.
	That their existence is more than material.
	That's right.
	That's right.
	You know, when we look at Christmas carols, and we look at some of the meaning in it, one of the reasons that I decided in our family that we'd celebrate it, in spite of the fact that there's a lot of false stuff that is interwoven with it, always will be, you know?
	There's always going to be tears sewn in amongst the wheat, but you just navigate your way through it and you point out that this is true, that's not true, this is true, that's not true.
	But there's a lot of things that I thought were very worthwhile for us to focus on as a family.
	The incarnation, the fulfillment of prophecy, but you know also the fact that The Christmas story and the incarnation of Christ really honors life.
	It honors children.
	It honors motherhood.
	These are things that are dishonored in our society.
	Life, children, motherhood, these are things that are despised in America now.
	It's no longer, you know, mom and apple pie.
	No, I don't know about apple pie, but they don't like mom.
	Motherhood, right?
	And so that's, I think, one of the most important things of Christmastime, that message.
	To remind us about that.
	And you know there's a great carol.
	I love the work of John Rutter.
	He's still alive and he is not that much different in age from me I don't think.
	In the 1980s to the 90s he did a lot of very nice Christmas carols that I would highly recommend to you.
	They're British and he's got his own Orchestra, as well as choral singers.
	But I want to read you just the beginning of the lyrics of the Candlelight Carol by John Ritter.
	It says, How do you capture the wind on the water?
	How do you count all the stars in the sky?
	How do you measure the love of a mother?
	How can you write down a baby's first cry?
	That is the thing that is missing in our society.
	The valuing of life, of a family, of motherhood.
	He concludes the song with Godhead incarnate and hope of salvation, a child with his mother, that first Christmas day.
	And so that is something that our culture has lost.
	And that's another aspect of the Christmas story that is wonderful.
	We've really been blessed in our family this last year.
	Somebody yesterday asked if Travis' baby had been born yet, and I thought, yeah, I should...
	I never showed people the pictures of it.
	I did mention the baby had been born.
	Here's a picture that was taken as they were taking him out of the hospital.
	It's about the first week of November, so I guess he's, what, about seven weeks old now, maybe?
	Oh, no, not about five weeks old, I guess, right?
	And there he is coming out, and then here's Travis with him, and the two of them asleep.
	And of course, this last year, I haven't talked much about what's going on with our family, but my daughter had a child earlier this year.
	And here is a picture of him.
	He looks very grown up.
	He's not that old.
	He was just here Thanksgiving.
	He looks a lot older here.
	I was surprised.
	But he is being held up on that rocking horse there.
	We had a rocking horse like that.
	We gave that to them when they came here for Thanksgiving.
	But we had a rocking horse like that for my sons, Travis and Whistler.
	And I taught them how to sing Back in the Saddle Again.
	They both knew the lyrics to Back in the Saddle Again.
	Here's a more typical picture of him asleep in the car chair.
	You get a better idea of his age.
	He looks a lot older in that other one.
	But we've been really blessed.
	I guess he's maybe about seven months.
	Everything is flying by so fast.
	I don't know where we are really.
	But the Church of England bishops are claiming that Christmas carols that say that Jesus is the true Messiah are problematic.
	This is kind of funny because people know where the Church of England is at this point in time.
	It's even in the name, right?
	It's a political institution.
	It has nothing to do with Christ.
	It's all about England.
	It's the Church of England.
	It's not the Church of Christ.
	It's not.
	And for the first time in 900 years, they now have girls joining the choir.
	Because, you know, you always had one of the things that was very distinctive about English music, especially Christmas music, was the boys' choir.
	We have a very distinctive sound.
	And so now in the name of diversity, we're going to get rid of that diversity and we're going to homogenize everything.
	But bishops within the Church of England have raised concern that certain Christmas carols might be problematic, that's their term, because of their explicit references to Jesus as the, quote, true Messiah.
	They said the need to reassess the language used in hymns to create an inclusive environment.
	Oh, so inclusive.
	Except that they're going to exclude Christ.
	These people who talk about inclusivity and diversity...
	Nothing at all like that.
	They want to homogenize everything.
	I mean, we look at what they're doing with Europe.
	Again, in just my short lifetime, I've seen Europe go from this highly diversified place, different culture, different clothing, different food, the music, the architecture.
	Everything was different.
	The money, you know.
	And you just travel a short little distance, for us Americans, and you're in a completely different environment.
	And now they're just homogenizing everything.
	Dumbing it down into this gray gook, you know.
	The Birmingham Diocese instructed clergy to, quote, use language that won't add further confusion or tension or take away anything from the good news of the nativity.
	Well, that is the good news.
	The fact that Jesus is the true Messiah.
	If you take that away, you've taken away everything.
	The hymns under scrutiny include, Lo, he comes with clouds descending.
	And that is L-O, not L-O-W. I would always, I guess if I was singing that, I would always be thinking, Lo, he's coming.
	He's coming down low.
	He's descending right there.
	But it's kind of like the kid who Or, gladly, the cross-eyed bear.
	He said, I'd like to have that bear.
	You know, which one?
	Gladly, who's cross-eyed, you know.
	But lo, he comes with clouds descending, was a favor to Queen Victoria.
	And has been criticized by these people for declaring that Jesus is the true Messiah.
	I wonder if they will go back and rename Handel's Messiah.
	You know, we should...
	Handles blank.
	Just redact it.
	Church of England, again, just a politicized entity, these elite frauds, not of Christ, just scammers.
	Whistler says, don't let anything stand in the way of nativity, including the nativity itself.
	That's right.
	So, another one.
	O come, O come, Emmanuel has been singled out for its phrase, captive Israel, in the first verse.
	I said, this could be confused with what is going on with Israel and Hamas right now.
	We have a lot of people Who confuse Israel, believers of all nations, true believers of all nations, who were held captive to the power and the penalty of sin until Christ removes them.
	That's the meaning right there.
	The true believers of all nations held captive to the power and the penalty of sin until Christ removed it.
	That is the gospel.
	And they say, well, we've got to change these hymns because people are confused.
	Members of our team working closely with diverse communities.
	No, they're not.
	They don't want diversity at all.
	Birmingham invited churches to think about providing some context for people new to the church who might be unsure why Israel is being discussed.
	See, here's another reason, I think, to celebrate Christmas.
	It's an opportunity for us to speak into the culture.
	It's an opportunity for us to explain that.
	A captive Israel, what's that about?
	Here's your opportunity to explain it.
	And these people don't want to explain it.
	They want to run from it.
	Look, the good news is not an argument.
	It's not a debate.
	It's just a proclamation.
	And captive Israel will understand it when they hear it.
	That's the way it works.
	They'll hear it.
	They will understand.
	Others will not.
	This Christmas, maybe Jesus becomes the tool of Islamist propaganda.
	This is from Christian Post.
	They said in any normal year, Bethlehem would be filled with tourists celebrating the birth of Jesus.
	But for the second year in a row, Christian leaders of Gaza decided to cancel Christmas, claiming allyship with the Palestinians in Gaza.
	And if that wasn't enough, some of the Christian leaders chose to reenact the story very differently.
	And of course, you have people who are constantly Reinventing the message, changing what everything is about.
	I mean, just take a look at all these LGBT churches that worship LGBT. Or you've got churches that worship Israel.
	In Gaza, you've got churches that worship Gaza, the Palestinians.
	They can always find something other than Jesus to worship, can't they?
	It could be Palestinians, it could be Israel, it could be LGBT, anything.
	In the new version, baby Jesus is no longer Jewish but Palestinian, and he's no longer lying in a manger but in the rubble of a building in Gaza wrapped in a keffiyeh.
	I think that's the way you pronounce that thing.
	I think that's the headdress that they have.
	I'm not sure.
	Pope Francis inaugurated a nativity scene in the Vatican that showed Jesus laying on a keffiyeh.
	So that's a different thing.
	Anyway, I'm not sure what that is.
	I guess I should have looked it up.
	Not really interested, though.
	The scene was eventually removed after the Pope got a lot of backlash.
	I guess he replaced it with the Pacamama Amazon idol that he had.
	That also, somebody went in and picked that thing up and threw it in the river.
	Appropriating the story of Jesus' birth to fit modern social issues is a fairly common practice.
	In 1948...
	Christians were 85% of the population of Bethlehem.
	Today, they're less than 10%.
	There are more Christians in St. Patrick's Cathedral on Christmas Eve than there are Christians left in Bethlehem.
	That's pretty amazing because nobody goes to church anymore.
	Maybe they do on Christmas Eve.
	I don't know.
	Radical Islamists hell-bent on destruction and religious persecution.
	The Islamists use a variety of tactics to drive out Christians.
	Tactics range from general employment discrimination all the way to targeted killings.
	And this is the way we see it happening everywhere.
	Not just there, but in India with the Hindus, in Nigeria, other places.
	In 2014, a young woman from Bethlehem began speaking out about the suffering of Christians in Bethlehem.
	She came from a prominent family and was even featured in a major TV news series on the plight of Christians in Bethlehem.
	The more she spoke out about the plight of Christians in Bethlehem, the more she and her family were attacked, and she eventually had to flee for her safety.
	In a report from the Jerusalem Institute for Justice, they detailed her case.
	So we will not get into the details of that, but I want to talk about where we live.
	The commercial versus the spiritual.
	As I said before, Jesus saves, but Santa sells.
	That's why there is so much focused around him.
	Each year, the National Retail Federation predicts the spending patterns of Americans during the holidays as 2024 winds down Christmas expenditures ahead of last year with an anticipated total of $989 billion nationwide.
	I'm surprised.
	I mean, it's nearly a trillion dollars, but I'm surprised that it's that small.
	Because it's really kind of the time that makes most of these retailers make it or break it from Black Friday on to Christmas.
	The typical shopper will spend $641 on family or friends and an additional $261 on seasonal items like wrapping paper, decorations.
	Interestingly enough, 57% of consumers plan to buy something for themselves this Christmas.
	Because that's the one person who knows what you want.
	Many of us will not know exactly how much we spend on Christmas until that first credit card statement arrives in January.
	Through finance charges and late fees, the ghost of Christmas passed.
	Often keeps our celebrations alive well past the new year.
	One in five Americans will live with a ghoulish reminder of overindulged shopping and impulse purchases until Independence Day of next year.
	Of course, it'll take you long to get independent of the taxation.
	You're going to work a lot longer than that to get rid of your taxes.
	These observations notwithstanding, I want to suggest no matter how much our festive indulgences cost us, this is also from the Christian Post, The real price tag for Christmas is astronomically higher.
	No amount of spending can begin to compare with the great sacrifice the Lord Jesus made because of his first coming, from beginning to end.
	It was a gift of infinite value, as Isaiah 55 says.
	Let those without money come, buy, and eat.
	And so when you look at it, in Bethlehem, the town that was known as House of Bread, and Jesus lying in a manger where the food goes for the animals.
	It's all about that.
	And it's not just once a year.
	You know, if you ate once a year, you wouldn't last too long, right?
	You need the daily bread, and not just material, but the daily spiritual feeding in order to stay alive spiritually.
	So what is the best gift that you could receive this Christmas?
	Well, God did just the opposite of bargain shopping.
	We look for the best product at lowest cost, but God, seeking to save the lost, was willing to pay the highest price.
	You know, we look at our culture and we think about how anti-Christian it has become, how much censorship there is involved in it.
	It's interesting to go back and look at a Charlie Brown Christmas because even at that time, and we're talking 59 years ago, December 1965, Studio executives and heads did not want to have it.
	They said it was too Christian.
	You can't have Linus reading from the book of Luke in it.
	Charlie Brown is exasperated.
	He says, isn't there anybody who knows what Christmas is all about?
	He's exasperated when he says it.
	They were exasperated when they saw this in the script.
	The people who were the producers, the network, the CBS executives, and all the rest of them.
	The sighting of scripture didn't easily pass the cynicism and the cowardly cultural gatekeepers of American network TV even 60 years ago.
	But Charles Schultz, who wrote Peanuts and his production team, offered the first of what became many peanut specials to CBS executives in December of 1965.
	In fact, even before the suits tried to remove mentioning Christ from the Christmas show, Schultz's two partners in the venture, Lee Mendelson and Bill Melendez, both advised him to take the gospel passage out of Linus' mouth.
	One of those executives put it this way, He said, the Bible thing scares us.
	That's what he said, quote unquote.
	He said, the Peanuts creator responded and spoke volumes.
	He said, well, if we don't do it, who will?
	You know, I think it's kind of interesting that the Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer production, the Rankin Bass thing, you know, with Burl Ives and Yukon Cornelius, all that stuff, that was done the year before.
	So that's 60 years old this year.
	That was done in December of 1964. No problem with that.
	It's just Santa Claus and Rudolph and Yukon Cornelius and all the rest of this stuff all made up.
	That's not a problem.
	But you can't have one of these cartoon characters reading from the Bible.
	The fact that any mention of Jesus over the public airwaves was controversial or ill-advised in the 1960s may come as a shock to us In the 2020s, somehow I'd imagined an earlier America as being more tolerant and less paranoid of potential offense, or in a word, timid.
	But this is simply not the case.
	And an interesting aside, only a year later, Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys, when he penned the classic God Only Knows, was told that his song was too religious and too square.
	This is exactly what Lucy tells Charlie after he has the audacity to buy a wooden Christmas tree for their play.
	We all know, she says, the psychologist of the group, we all know Christmas is a big commercial racket.
	Among the aluminum trees and the Christmas queens, as Lucy refers to herself, what room is there for the light of the world?
	Fortunately, we have lioness to put Charlie, the whole gang, and us right.
	Despite skepticism of the cultural tastemakers at CBS, A Charlie Brown Christmas was a gigantic hit on first broadcast December 9th, 1965. One New York ad man said, all heaven broke loose.
	He said, this is a special that really is special.
	He went on to win a Peabody Award and become a Christmas icon.
	Because that is what Christmas is all about, Charlie Brown.
	I guess you were right, Linus.
	I shouldn't have picked this little tree.
	Everything I do turns into a disaster.
	I guess I really don't know what Christmas is all about.
	Isn't there anyone who knows what Christmas is all about?
	Sure, Charlie Brown.
	I can tell you what Christmas is all about.
	Lights, please.
	And there were in the same country shepherds, abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.
	And lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them.
	And they were sore afraid, and the angel said unto them, Fear not!
	For behold, I bring you tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.
	For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.
	And this shall be a sign unto you.
	Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.
	And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying, Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, goodwill toward men.
	That's what Christmas is all about, Charlie Brown.
	That's what Christmas is all about, Charlie Brown.
	Thank you.
	Thank you.
	All right, welcome back.
	And Jason Barker, NORAD, should report this year that Santa was taken out by Putin with a supersonic missile.
	And then they'll regain support for the war.
	Thank you, Jason.
	And by the way, Merry Christmas to all of you and Jason, especially Jason and Angry Tiger at Nights of the Storm.
	And you'll find them on Twitter as well as on Rockfin.
	And same with Gard.
	Liberty Conspiracy on Twitter and Rockfin.
	And Gard is going to be here on Friday during the show.
	He says, the IDF has been destroying most Christian churches in Palestine and Gaza.
	And the IDF just removed a cross from Golan Heights.
	That's right.
	When you look at the news, the Christian sites will completely discount what is happening.
	To the people there.
	And the Christians are being killed by both sides, attacked by both sides.
	That's typical for what is happening.
	But yeah, it is horrific what is happening there.
	The fact that it continues without stopping whatsoever.
	Soylent Goy says, if everywhere is diverse, does diversity still exist?
	Well, you know, diversity doesn't mean what they say it means.
	Just like vaccines don't mean what they say they mean anymore.
	They change the meaning of all of these words.
	They're all malleable.
	And that's why, you know, we just, we have to understand how they're using the language.
	They don't mean diversity at all.
	Atomic Dog says, Bible scares us.
	Demons, all of them.
	That's why they recoil.
	You can see the CBS executives 60 years ago recoiling.
	Like a vampire in a movie when they pull out a cross.
	KWD68, TV programs.
	That's the correct word.
	Yeah, that's right.
	It does program people, doesn't it?
	That's why we call it the show.
	We're trying to show people instead of programming people.
	Music888.
	Amazing what offends empty souls.
	That's true.
	Well, while we talk about that, let's talk about CNN. They're offended.
	Trying to shame fathers out of buying hunting rifles for their sons.
	This is A.W.R. Hawkins writing at Breitbart.
	He focuses on firearms and on Second Amendment weapons.
	Less than a week after a 15-year-old girl shot and killed two in Madison, Wisconsin, at a Christian school, CNN went all in to shame fathers out of buying hunting rifles for their sons.
	The alleged Abundant Life Christian School shooter used a handgun, said the Madison chief of police.
	But again, they don't care.
	It's just any kind of firearm.
	And it's not the firearms.
	Just as we saw somebody in the Christmas market in Magdeburg.
	Look at how many people he killed.
	200 people injured.
	And 40 of them critical.
	Five dead already, but I don't know if that has gone up.
	Used a vehicle.
	We had a Christmas parade attack a couple of years ago.
	Used a vehicle.
	The problem is the people.
	Guns were actually more prevalent, as even RFK Jr. has said.
	More prevalent when he was growing up.
	Same age as me.
	We used to see him all the time.
	We'd see people riding around with rifles and a rifle rack in their pickup truck.
	CNN rolled out a piece targeting parents who buy their sons or daughters firearms in order to hunt.
	CNN began the article with the story of an Oregon dad, Paul Kemp, who bought a hunting rifle for his son Nathan when he turned 16 years old.
	Nathan has been hunting with his dad since he was 7 years old.
	Parents looking to purchase a firearm for their child on the holidays have to balance their hopes, says CNN, for the gift with a risk that comes with such a purchase, such as an accidental shooting or suicide or the gun being used in a crime.
	Well, the best way to make sure that doesn't happen is to educate your kids about how to properly use a gun.
	Yeah, I mean, you know, instead of just pulling back and saying something like, you'll shoot your eye out.
	Ah, there it is.
	The holy grail of Christmas gifts, the Red Ryder 200-shot range model air rifle.
	Ralphie, what would you like for Christmas?
	Horrified.
	I heard myself blurted out.
	I want an official Red Rider carbon action 200-year Wainswell air rifle.
	No.
	Shoot your eye out.
	Oh, no.
	It was the classic mother BB gun block.
	You'll shoot your eye out.
	We had a friend.
	She leaned to the left, and she did not want her son to have a gun.
	She was horrified.
	That our kids had all kinds of toy guns to play with.
	And then one day, she said to Karen, she said, I just watched him out there playing in the yard.
	He doesn't have any guns, but he's picking up sticks and he's going pew, pew, pew, pew.
	So I just realized it was kind of ingrained.
	So maybe the best thing that you can do is just kind of educate them about the importance of it and how to use it.
	But, you know, you can have...
	The dreaded mom answer, or you can have the dreaded CNN answer, because CNN is the nanny state incarnate, isn't it?
	Meanwhile, it's not just the guns, but it's also the cars.
	British drivers are steering away from new cars in droves.
	Because they're not going to be driving them anywhere.
	British car buyers are steering away from new vehicles.
	They said the Telegraph in the UK says we're looking to a future with more and more people driving older and older cars.
	Trusty motors from the 2000s and the early 2010s.
	They say in the UK, the Peugeot 107. I'd be surprised to see a Peugeot as a trusty-owned one once.
	They don't even sell them in the United States anymore.
	They're not trusty enough.
	The Ford Focus, the Honda Jazz, the Vauxhall Corsa.
	They're all still a very common sight in the UK with owners refusing to put them out to pasture.
	In fact, 16 million of the 34 million motors on Britain's roads are more than a decade old.
	Experts believe this will continue to increase in the years to come thanks to labor's unrelenting war on motorists.
	That's right, it is a war on motorists.
	We're talking about car bans.
	We should talk about driver bans, because that's really where they're going, even if cars exist.
	It's a ban on ownership.
	There's a ban on you having the freedom to go wherever you want and being able to drive.
	And, you know, they're talking about them being average as more than a decade old.
	That's certainly the case in the United States as well.
	I think when I looked at it, it was something like the average age was 12 or 13 years or something like that.
	Our cars that are 12 or 13 years old, we have no intention of getting rid of them.
	We're going to try to keep them running.
	And, you know, I'll pay to keep them running rather than get rid of them for something newer because I don't like the complexities of the new stuff.
	I don't like all of the nanny tech that I talk about all the time with Eric Peters.
	So, yeah, the average car in the U.S., 12 or 13 years old.
	And I said, when I mentioned that a few years ago, I said, I remember in the 1970s, Volvo had an ad campaign talking about how their cars at the time, the average age was 11 years old.
	It wasn't that the Volvos were made that well.
	It's that the people were poor because of socialism.
	They couldn't afford to buy a newer car.
	They would like to have a newer car, but they couldn't afford it because of socialism.
	That's where we are today.
	And, of course, also the government has gotten into the business of telling us what we must have.
	What we must have, what we cannot have.
	And most people don't like what we must have anyway.
	It's gotten incredibly and ridiculously expensive.
	People are definitely spending money to keep their cars on the road as opposed to upgrading, as said in the UK. The majority just want a car that gets them from A to B. The average car, now 9.4 years of age in the UK. That's a 42% rise from 2003 when the average age of the car was 6.6 years.
	They know that down the road, there won't be a choice of petrol.
	So they're thinking, well, this could be my last one, so I will keep it longer.
	That's one way to react to all this stuff.
	Maybe one of the other ways that we could do it is tell these people to stuff it.
	And tell these people to stop with the green grift.
	Tell them to stop the Paris Climate Accord, which is the basis of all of this stuff.
	If we don't stop the Paris Climate Accord, we lose even the power to heat our homes.
	We won't even be able to afford to heat our homes, let alone have a car.
	And yet, they will rearrange the deck chairs on the Titanic of the Paris Climate Accord.
	Well, we'll do this, or we'll do that, or we'll come up now, we'll let you use any kind of energy you want, says the Trump 2.0.
	Any kind of energy you want, but you just pay carbon taxes to my friends over here who paid for me to get into office.
	You're going to pay your carbon credits.
	You're going to do carbon capture.
	You'll pay, but if you pay enough to me and my friends, you can use any kind of energy that you want.
	You just got to pay that indulgence.
	The number of shiny new cars sold to families and individuals has plummeted by almost 450,000 in the past eight years.
	They're killing the car business.
	It's not hard to see how the government is pulling all the stops out to discourage buying cars.
	Even their beloved planet-saving electric vehicles.
	They're even pulling the rug out from underneath that.
	And again, Eric Peters and I used to always talk about that.
	He said, yeah.
	People think that's the alternative.
	They don't want any privately owned cars.
	And they'll eventually make it impossible for you to own them as well.
	It's all part of what seems like a wider policy to crash the economy.
	That's what it really is.
	It's a policy to crash the economy.
	Rachel Reeves announced in her maiden budget, this is their labor official that is there, her latest maiden budget, she put in a vehicle excise duty, a tax.
	And rates are going to be increasing from April.
	Listen to how much they're going to charge people with a tax, a specific tax on their cars.
	While bills for petrol and diesel and hybrid cars will rise by at least 100 pounds, and as much as 2,745 pounds.
	Can you imagine that?
	You know, a levy a tax on you for, and I don't know what that is in dollars, it's well over $3,000.
	The appetite for hatchbacks rather than SUVs is evident in the used car market in the UK. But people who want little cars like that as a runabout, but they're not making little sports cars anymore.
	So again, you know, when you, whatever you want, you're not going to You're not going to get that.
	They don't care what consumers want.
	That's another ongoing thing that Eric Peters and I have talked about for so long.
	Why can't you just buy a cheap car?
	No, not going to do that.
	They're going to be gilded.
	As a matter of fact, so much so that Stellantis is destroying the Jeep brand by only selling...
	Cars that have every bell and whistle that they can think of.
	They've made it a really high-end brand, and that's not what their customer base is, but they don't care what their customer base is.
	They're going to dictate to you what you're going to buy.
	So they're going to bloat, and they're going to decorate with all kinds of bells and whistles, and people just can't afford that.
	Well-made cars with 2000s are lasting longer.
	They're mechanically, electronically simpler than the newer cars.
	That's all true.
	And so, as a part of this, Honda and Nissan are working together on a merger project.
	that i want to read some of these comments here matthew matthew ronson says kids bringing cased firearms on the bus when i was a kid that's right that's right um the firearms haven't changed our society has changed our kids have changed um kwd68 i watched a senior sell a rifle to a boy in our front hallway at our high school when i was a freshman Nobody thought about using it there.
	It stayed in the locker all day.
	A neighbor bought a new Toyota Tacoma and didn't make it home.
	Brand new engine.
	And it locked up.
	No new cars for me, he says.
	Yeah.
	Wow.
	And that's Toyota.
	One of the better ones.
	Fisher 2024. I have a 1999 vehicle.
	Still going strong.
	Yes, that's right.
	Yeah, that's part of the problem.
	They started, they had to compete not just on fins and chrome, but they had to compete on reliability, and they got very good at that.
	So they have to shut this whole thing down.
	So what's going on with Honda and Nissan?
	I looked at this and I thought, well, it's going to make the world's third largest automaker.
	And when you look at this, the question is, why?
	Why?
	Why would they do this?
	As a matter of fact, Honda's president said, well, frankly speaking, the possibility that's not being implemented is not zero.
	Double negative there.
	In other words, this may not happen, he said.
	And the question is, why would they even do this?
	On Monday, the two companies, Honda and Nissan, announced that they'd signed a memorandum of understanding to integrate their businesses with Mitsubishi Motors also joining the discussions.
	I liked Nissan much better when it was Datsun.
	It had the 240Z and all the rest of those that came on after that.
	Travis sold it, but he had at one point in time, it was actually his first car that he bought.
	It was a Nissan 300ZX Twin Turbo.
	And that thing was a blast to drive.
	I mean, it was old.
	It had all kinds of body integrity issues and everything in it.
	But the engine was still going strong, and it could really push you in the back of the seat.
	And it was a great handling car, too.
	But they had started at that point in time with that car.
	That had a lot of just the fact that it had twin turbos, but then they had other things that were going on with the suspension that were complications that, you know, but it was a fun car to have.
	Facing competition from electric vehicle leaders like Tesla and China's BYD, Japanese automakers are uniting to cut costs and to, listen to this, accelerate their transition to electric vehicles and to bankruptcy.
	If they're merging so they can make electric vehicles, they're on their way.
	They're speeding towards bankruptcy.
	And that's the point that Eric Peters makes with us.
	He talks about this in an article that he put up yesterday.
	The AP writes that a potential merger between Honda, Nissan, and also Mitsubishi.
	Could create an automotive giant valued at over $50 billion, helping them to compete with industry leaders like Toyota and Volkswagen.
	Toyota collaborates with Mazda and with Subaru, and they produced 11.5 million vehicles in 2023, far surpassing the combined output of these three companies, Honda, Mitsubishi, and Nissan.
	Their combined output was 8 million vehicles.
	Toyota by itself, 11 and a half.
	Of course, that may also include their collaborations with Mazda.
	But anyway, reports earlier this month suggested Taiwan's Foxconn was interested in acquiring Nissan shares.
	Nissan is recovering from scandals and from recent losses and has cut jobs and restructured under current management.
	But again, Eric Peters writes on EP Autos, or EricPetersAutos.com, he says, why would Honda buy Nissan?
	Honda is healthy, and it's considering buying Nissan, which is not healthy.
	He said, just a couple weeks ago, a senior person within Nissan's hierarchy said the company had 12 to 14 months to survive.
	Circling the train.
	He says, that's not healthy.
	It's just shy of dead.
	So why would Honda put itself in that position?
	By doing what amounts to chaining itself to a dead man walking.
	Honda's been very smart so far in that it has avoided the malinvestment of a battery-powered, and he calls them not vehicles, not cars.
	Eric Peters calls them devices.
	Devices.
	Yeah, they're like smartphones.
	They've got bells and whistles and they've got iPads glued to the dashboard.
	They're devices.
	They have avoided the malinvestment of battery-powered devices that has left companies such as Nissan that didn't avoid that.
	It's left them within months at most to survive.
	Honda currently sells only two devices, and they are rebadged versions of another company's devices.
	The Honda Prologue and its Acura-badged StableMate being, in fact, Chevy devices that GM malinvested in.
	GM spent the money designing and proofing out the device that Honda tweaked a little bit cosmetically.
	The expensive stuff was paid for by GM. On the other hand, he said Nissan has destroyed its brand in part by malinvesting in devices such as the Nissan Leaf, their first electric car, and the Aria, if you pronounce it that way.
	I don't know.
	The Nissan Leaf, that was one of the earliest of the EVs.
	And first time I ever heard about an EV burning a house down was in North Carolina, and it was a Nissan Leaf as it was being recharged.
	He says this hasn't worked for any car company that has thought it was a good idea to stop making cars and switch over to devices.
	The ones that did are all in trouble, even VW. Which was once one of the most successful brands, but it was, and we've talked about that a lot, it was coerced into doing that because they came out with incredibly high fuel economy diesels that lasted forever, that were economical, and all the rest of this stuff.
	And so the EPA basically put them out of business, claiming that they cheated on an emissions scandal.
	Never done that before.
	And again, EPA is not just going to kill Volkswagen.
	The EPA is going to kill us if we let them.
	It's the EPA that has taken the lead in terms of shutting down now even power stations that are on the grid.
	And of course, the Department of Energy is out there to tell you what appliances and heaters and things like that you can have in the name of efficiency.
	So, as I've said before, the best thing to do, which is not going to happen, is to get rid of the EPA and the Department of Energy.
	Two things that were created in the 1970s that need to go.
	But that's not going to happen.
	Instead, if they would get rid of the single act that was put in at about the time of their creation that said that the government was going to start mandating efficiency as well as emission standards.
	Remove that piece of legislation.
	That was never within the power of Congress to give to anybody.
	It's not in the Constitution.
	Where in the Constitution does it say that the federal government will measure efficiency and air quality?
	Nowhere.
	Those powers don't exist in the Constitution, so they're not the Congress powers to give to anyone, to delegate to anyone, any bureaucracy.
	That act needs to go.
	They're not going to do that, though.
	Just like the fundamental thing that Paris Climate Accord needs to go, but they're not going to do that either.
	Nissan also has given up on the Maxima, and soon they will give up on the Altima.
	Nissan also turned the compact-sized Frontier that it used to sell in huge numbers because the little truck was cheap, and it was rugged.
	And so it is exactly what lots of people want in a truck.
	They turned that into a big expensive truck that lots of people don't want and can't afford.
	Same thing that Stellantis has done with a Jeep.
	Taking something that's cheap and rugged and turned it into something that people don't want, can't afford.
	The brand's infinity division is just as dead in the water as a Titanic.
	So again, what is in it for Honda?
	writes Eric.
	He says, what's to be gained here?
	Well, a CNBC article Headline says, Top Japanese carmakers, Nissan Motors and Honda Motors, understood to be exploring a blockbuster merger, again, that same phrase, in order to stay competitive on the road to full electrification.
	He says, what do they think lies down that road to full electrification?
	Bankruptcy.
	And why are they doing it?
	Well, because China...
	The car business is a global business, and China is a much bigger market than North America and European markets.
	In China, there is a huge market for battery-powered devices because the Chinese government allows a sale of inexpensive battery-powered devices that cannot legally be sold in North America or Europe.
	And not only that, but they can make them more cheaply.
	They're going to sell.
	When they sell their cars, they won't be that cheap when they get to America.
	I mean, they'll jack the price up.
	But there they can sell them more cheaply because they don't have as much invested in them.
	They've got a monopoly on a lot of the materials that are there, as Eric Peters talks about here.
	But the main thing that nobody talks about, even though people will talk about how China has started withdrawing minerals and things like that, the main thing is that they have essentially a monopoly on power.
	Power that is used for manufacturing things, all things.
	That's been given to them, and that is the Paris Climate Accord.
	So, they said, again, if they put all three of these together, it would be just behind Toyota in terms of size, and just behind Germany, and crisis-stricken Volkswagen.
	That was the phrase that was used by the news article that he has.
	He says, so why they use that phrase crisis stricken Volkswagen?
	What was the crisis that struck them?
	What was the electrification?
	Their decision made under duress to take the road to full electrification.
	That's what brought on their crisis.
	Now, Honda seems to be wanting to ride shotgun with Nissan and drive down that same road.
	Well, here's the thing.
	This is my comment on all this stuff.
	They think that they can pull this stuff together and make a bigger company, try to get economies of scale or something to try to compete with China.
	But there's no way that they're going to be able to do it because of the Paris Climate Accord.
	China is allowed to build, and they're doing it at an amazing rate, several new coal power plants a week.
	And already, they use about half the world's coal.
	And there's no limits on that.
	There's no cleanup required on that.
	Tell me that these people believe that we're all going to die if we have coal power.
	And they let China do this.
	Their plants are far dirtier than ours.
	And India as well.
	A couple of years ago, I was talking about India and the fact that they're allowed to have highly polluting power plants.
	So much so that if you were to drive an electric car powered by those dirty power plants, you would be having less emissions as they measure it.
	If you had a gas car that got 37 miles per gallon.
	And so they're allowed to do this, and they're being given a monopoly on heavy manufacturing because of the Paris so-called treaty that was never ratified here in the United States.
	It's just like the solar panels.
	The solar panels that we all buy from China now, because they've got a monopoly, and they can do it cheaper than anybody else because they've got cheap energy.
	The solar panels that we get from China are made using coal energy.
	So they burn coal to power their factories that make the solar panels, and they burn coal to power the factories that make the electric vehicles.
	So we have coal-made solar panels and coal-made EVs.
	And that's the way that it's going to be unless somebody wakes up.
	Now, what could happen with all of this stuff?
	How do you undo that?
	If the United States were to say, if Trump, which he would not do in his first term, would say, we were never in the Paris Climate Accord.
	He pretended that we were legitimately in it, even though it was self-ratified.
	Said John Kerry.
	He said, yeah, Barack and I just self-ratified it.
	Well, that's not the way it works.
	And, you know, I criticize Trump for doing it, but every single senator should have said something about it.
	Rand Paul should have said something about it.
	Ted Cruz, Mike Lee, all of these so-called conservative senators, they should have said, that's not the way the Constitution works.
	Any treaty has to be ratified by the Senate.
	Nobody said that.
	Nobody.
	For 10 years.
	No Republican or Democrat has said this treaty must be ratified by the Senate.
	Why?
	Because they all want to send Mitch McConnell, one of the worst ones about all this stuff, because he was the Senate Majority Leader for many of those years.
	And so nobody has ever called the bluff.
	Instead, they pretended that they were in it.
	And if they were in it, there was a clause that said you've got to wait four years to get out of it.
	But if Trump would get out of the Paris Climate Accord, this house of cards would come crashing down, folks.
	Because China and India are not in it in the sense that they can do whatever they want.
	Yes, they're technically in the Paris Climate Accord because it gives them an advantage, but they can do whatever they want.
	The restrictions are on America and Europe, and if America pulled out Europe would say, wait a minute, what's the point of this?
	We've got China, India, and the U.S. very able to do whatever they want.
	We're not going to fall into these restrictions.
	If Trump would pull out of the Paris Climate Accord, it would come crashing down.
	Because the Europeans would get out of it as well.
	If Trump would get out of the Paris Climate Accord, he could save not only America, but he could save Germany and the U.K. and France and all these other places.
	But he won't do it.
	I guarantee you, he will not do it.
	Didn't do it the first time.
	If they're going to pretend that we are in it and pretend to abide by the restrictions to get out of it, it's going to be another head fake for four years.
	By the way, when you look at Nissan, there is a Nissan Stadium that is here in Tennessee, in Nashville.
	Another example of grift and graft and corruption, there was a special referendum going back to 1996, and voters in the metropolitan Nashville area voted to approve partial funding of the proposed stadium.
	The vote, which allocated $144 million worth of public money to the project, passed with a 60% majority.
	And when they had the referendum, they called it the NFL Yes campaign.
	And the people who are running that side of it, pushing for the subsidies, outspent the anti-stadium group by a ratio of 16 to 1 during the campaign.
	Very much like every election, right?
	It's very easy to outspend your opponents.
	If you've got a lot of money, like Musk or any of these people, or like Soros or whatever...
	You can pour this money into your campaign, into your side, because you know you're going to get paid back on the other side.
	Oh, they always get nearly a thousand to one return on their investment, right?
	And I mean not a thousand percent, I mean a thousand to one return on their investment.
	So these people who wanted the stadium, subsidized, spend heavily 16 to one against the people who say, wait a minute, not with my money.
	You're not going to build a stadium for billionaires with my money.
	But that's the way it works in every election, isn't it?
	The crony capitalism of these NFL stadiums and these other stadiums, just one example, maybe the easiest for people to see.
	In 2015 is when Nissan got involved.
	Their North American headquarters is just south of Nashville, and they've got a manufacturing plant nearby as well.
	And so they bought the naming rights for the stadium in 2015 in a 20-year contract, rebranding the stadium as Nissan Stadium.
	And they put a 2016 Nissan Titan pickup truck next to the stadium scoreboard.
	Well, the interesting thing is, I looked it up to see if they still make this particular truck, the Nissan Titan pickup.
	Yeah, they do.
	The base price now, however, is $47,000.
	And I wonder what they're going to do.
	Well, will they call the stadium when Nissan is gone?
	Because they've still got 10 years of that 20-year name purchase that they put on there.
	And then when we look at Tesla...
	Tesla's market cap, in other words, the price of their shares times the number of shares outstanding, their market cap is nearly half of the global auto industry, that one company.
	Tesla shares just reached an all-new high following Trump's victory.
	Because, see, just like the stadium, people understand how crony capitalism, crony corruption works.
	They knew that he was going to get his money, you know, just like the people who do the stadium, going to get their money.
	Tesla accounts for nearly half of the market capitalization of all carmakers, all carmakers.
	I mean, even little obscure ones in foreign countries that you as an American have never heard of.
	I've never heard of them.
	Its valuation surpasses the combined value of the next 29 automakers.
	And yet, when you look at the number of cars that they're shipping, it's a fraction of what Toyota sells, for example.
	Tesla's massive market cap is not reflected in its production numbers.
	In 2023, Tesla sold 1.8 million vehicles.
	While Toyota sold 11.2 million.
	And yet, the market cap between these two, Tesla, 1.4 trillion, and Toyota, 231 billion.
	So, Tesla's stock is valued six times higher than Toyota, even though Toyota sold six times more vehicles than Tesla did.
	It's all about expectation.
	We'll talk about a bubble mindset.
	But it's not even really about the bubble.
	Isn't it that people are like, oh, they've got some secret sauce and they've got the wave of the future?
	No.
	It is about the fact that people are betting on Elon Musk owning Trump and getting whatever he wants from the Trump administration.
	The market is telling you what we all see there.
	Investors believe Musk's close relationship with Trump, along with his growing role in government, will serve as a powerful catalyst for Tesla.
	They're betting on corruption, folks, because corruption in the district of corruption is a sure thing.
	Why is it that everybody spends so much money on these election campaigns?
	Well, that's because that's where all the money is, right?
	You're going to go rob a bank?
	Why do you rob banks?
	Well, that's where all the money is.
	Well, why do you participate?
	Why do you give all this money to politicians?
	Because that's where all the money is.
	And I can get a thousand times more money back by buying a politician.
	KWD68, Cybertrucks will make great dumpsters when they die.
	They already look like a dumpster, don't they?
	It's just the most...
	I mean, when you look at that, I just don't understand the mania over it.
	It's one of the worst-looking, childish things I've ever seen in the Cybertruck.
	Soylent Goy.
	I predict that if this EV crap continues, America will resemble Cuba.
	That's right.
	With everybody driving 30- to 40-year-old cars.
	That's right.
	And unfortunately, in Cuba, they're more colorful.
	Ha!
	If we freeze it in the early 2000s and everything, everything's going to be varying shades of gray.
	You know, white, black, varying shades of gray, and occasionally a red car.
	But it's not going to be the colorful stuff that you see in Cuba from the 1950s.
	Uh, Coalimo says, uh, don't see how Knight drove a Miata in Austin with all the 4x4s?
	It was an interesting experience.
	Yeah, you're taking your life in your hand.
	You know, every time I would go anywhere, I'm looking at the underside of other cars.
	You drive very defensively, uh, and, uh, that's how you drive.
	Uh, I must have been driving like speed racers, zipping around like Frogger.
	Yeah, that's right.
	Definitely in the mornings when I would go to work.
	That was the only silver lining about the so-called pandemic, was that people got off the roads, even.
	And I was driving around with a top-down...
	And it was kind of a strange sense of deja vu that I got.
	After a while, I thought, why does this seem so familiar in a different way?
	And I thought about it, it's like, it's because the traffic density is what I was used to driving in Tampa, you know, 50, 60 years earlier.
	And so, 50 years earlier.
	Not quite that old, I guess, but anyway.
	And it was really nice.
	Especially at 4 a.m.
	in the morning, because the cops definitely were not out giving tickets at that point in time.
	Soylent Goy says, give me a 1983 Toyota pickup, and I'll make it last 50 years.
	That's right.
	Especially if it's a Hilux that Eric Peters has talked about many times.
	And on Top Gear, that was one of their episodes.
	They took a Toyota Hilux, which we were never allowed to have here in the U.S., And they did everything they could to destroy this thing, and it just kept running.
	I mean, finally, I think they destroyed it by driving it into the sea, you know.
	And then they put it up in the studio there at Top Gear, if you remember that.
	But yeah, the legendary Toyota Hilux, the diesel version was even better, but we're not allowed to have that here.
	And you know, all that diesel stuff that was happening, that was a design by the EPA. and when we were in north carolina right there and research triangle park they had a big epa facility there and um it was uh uh what was his name he's got junk science um and he found uh steve malloy found uh that they were just kind of came across it looking at some of their papers and he saw that some people
	had to be taken to the hospital he looks at what is this about And he found that they were looking for people who had respiratory and heart issues.
	They exposed them to high levels of diesel particulates.
	I mean, they literally hooked them up to the tailpipe.
	They did filter out the carbon monoxide so they didn't kill them straight off.
	But they were looking to get these people sick so that they could increase...
	The restrictions on diesel and on fireplaces.
	They wanted to ban fireplaces and barbecue grills and everything.
	And that was back in 2012. And they're still working on that.
	And what they were doing was they were exposing people to 72 times We're not talking about people getting sick.
	We're talking about people dying.
	More people are dying from fine particulate matter.
	Than from cancer and heart disease.
	See, they tell the same lies.
	Whether they're talking about climate or whether they're talking about COVID, it's always the same lies.
	That's why, you know, when all this stuff was happening in the spring of 2020 and I walk out one day as I'm finished and I'm going home and it was in the afternoon and Mike Adams was on and he was reading the latest propaganda from the CDC. And reading it, not to debunk it, but telling people, look at this, look at how bad this is.
	The CDC says more people are dying from COVID than from heart disease and cancer.
	And it's like, come on, Mike, you know better than that.
	You're better than that.
	You should be better than that, than to lie to people about that kind of stuff.
	Dustin Helm, thank you very much for the tip.
	I appreciate that.
	MAGA made one.
	It says, when the electric, like Tesla and GM, and now Ford are subsidized by our tax money, the only way the others will survive will be to merge.
	Well, that's the other part of it.
	You know, talking about the connection of Nissan here, our rhino governor here in Tennessee, Bill Lee, heavily subsidized Ford in terms of putting batteries and electric car thing in it.
	And now, you know, I don't know what happens to that because they've announced that they're cutting back significantly because it's bankrupting Ford.
	If they're going to continue down this road to electrification, it's going to wind up being the electric chair for these...
	For these car companies that want to sit on that.
	KWD68. Toyota's announced a basic truck.
	Supposed to sell for $13,000.
	Basically in old type parts.
	No turbo.
	No plastic oil pans.
	Water pumps.
	iPads on the fast.
	It'll sell very well.
	I hope we're allowed to buy it here.
	See, that's the other thing.
	The federal regulations is not just the emissions from the EPA, but it's also the National Highway Traffic Safety, NHTSA Association or bureaucracy, whatever, and their safety standards.
	That's one of the key things.
	This is why when a lot of people come up with independent cars, they make them three-wheel.
	Because if they're three wheels, then they can escape some of these safety regulations.
	I mean, they can still put them back in, and some of them do.
	But you've had several people who've not been able to get to market, really, but they still tried with the three-wheeled vehicles trying to get around those safety requirements.
	M Sellers, my husband works directly with Nissan.
	Yeah, that's interesting.
	Don't Frag Me Bro says, That's right.
	Boy, I tell you, it was the type of thing.
	Talking about Christmas, and I think back to a bicycle I get for Christmas.
	But it was really, in my mind, it was just, you know, training wheels for a car.
	That bicycle got me a larger range.
	And of course, I guess today, you know, you've got to keep the kids in the house, or they call CPS on you, right?
	But I mean, I arranged all over the place on my bicycle, and I just couldn't wait for the day that I could get a car.
	And so I started...
	Plotting how I was going to get a motorcycle.
	Because I could get that at an earlier age and for less money, and then I could get a car.
	But my parents weren't having that.
	So I had to wait until I got older to get a risky two-seater sports car.
	Maga made one.
	It says, Honda is going hydrogen.
	Well, there you go.
	But see, that's the other part of it.
	The governments don't want hydrogen.
	And still, it's got a lot of issues with the development, but so does the electric battery car.
	It's got a lot of issues.
	All these things have issues.
	But hydrogen doesn't give them what they want, and that is to have you tethered to a grid, a control grid, a power grid.
	That's why they keep pushing for the battery stuff.
	I mean, there's a lot of different things that they could do.
	They could do hydrogen.
	They could do fuel cells or whatever.
	You could make zero-emission cars in a lot of different ways.
	But the governments want you on the grid.
	As they're taking the grid down, the EPA is taking down the power plants.
	Right Overture says, now the cars are not only boring, but they bark orders at you.
	I hate that.
	Yeah, I hate that.
	When we moved here, we rented a truck, and you're setting up really high and the thing's really wide.
	I mean, talk about...
	It's a strange experience going from a Miata to a moving truck that I was driving.
	And if it would get even close to the, and when it wasn't a car coming, I would get kind of close to the center line.
	And it would constantly, it's barking at me and jerking the steering wheel.
	It's like, what is this thing?
	So if you can't work on it at home, it probably sucks.
	Atomic Dog.
	Honda's been sinking as well.
	Their car is becoming unreliable.
	The cannabis connoisseur says you can't even change the oil in the new vehicles.
	Is that right?
	Wow.
	Not surprising, I guess.
	Don't Frag Me Bro says all car and truck makers are being purposely destroyed because you will own nothing.
	That's right.
	That's what it's really about.
	It's about taking down the economy.
	Taking down our industry.
	And again, it comes back to the Paris Climate Accord as well.
	That is very important.
	That is the ultimate goal.
	When we see things like Volkswagen going bankrupt, that is penultimate, right?
	They want that to happen.
	But their ultimate goal is to take down all manufacturing and to take down our society.
	Nabooru 2029, the fastest and easiest way to force those who can afford them, drivers into EVs, is to monopolize multiple combustion vehicle manufacturers into only one choice for the buyer.
	Yeah.
	They're all consolidating.
	That is also another sign of a dying industry.
	Ephesians 612, EV push designed to topple the car industry, isn't it?
	Yep.
	Atomic Dog, I can see in 20 years there'll be no longer car ownership, just robo-taxis.
	It'll start out cheap, and within a few years, it'll cost a fortune.
	This is what Elon Musk is saying.
	I mean, he's actually said that.
	You won't be driving cars in a couple of years.
	You're not going to be driving cars.
	You'll be paying Elon Musk.
	This guy is such a megalomaniac.
	Isn't it amazing how MAGA people cannot see it?
	Can't see it at all?
	Truly is amazing.
	Kolomo says, Toyota is merging on products with BMW and Porsche.
	Toyota will rule the world, hydrogen and battery.
	Octo Spook, there isn't a car left on the market which inspires me to want it.
	I think that's the real plan.
	Have only cars and vehicles available which nobody wants.
	I feel the same way when I look at it.
	Assyrian girl, we need to deregulate and lower taxes on we the people as well as industries in order to make the U.S. a constitutional republic again.
	I agree.
	I agree.
	Well, we're going to take a quick break, and when we come back, we're going to talk about an insane decision out of the Montana Supreme Court.
	Well, before we go, a couple more comments here about...
	About the tech.
	IQMicrodot says, Howdy y'all.
	Too much Big Brother mandated tech built into today's cars.
	I would not want any car with so much remote tracking and operations parameters and recording ability.
	And feds can shut you off.
	They can kill the car.
	They can also shut off the power to everybody.
	Don'tFragMeBro says, Their game plan is old and predictable.
	Crash the economy.
	Implement austerity and rationing.
	And offer war as a solution.
	That's right.
	So when we come back, we're going to take a look at this Montana Supreme Court decision, which is truly insane.
	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.
	The End
	You're listening to The David Knight Show.
	all.
	Well, I've got one more thing I want to talk about with the climate nonsense before I get into Festivus, and it's kind of interesting to see what is going on with Rand Paul's report about waste that he does this time of year.
	This is the Supreme Court of Montana.
	There were 16 kids, children, who sued.
	They filed a lawsuit against the state of Montana, and they claimed they had suffered...
	Stress because of environmental issues.
	I guess this is the how dare you lawsuit from Greta.
	Greta would be so proud of this.
	And Greta would be so proud of the insanity of this radical Supreme Court.
	You talk about how only 35% of the people trust the judiciary.
	This is exhibit A. They're completely out of touch.
	Most of these judges are political appointees.
	They don't stand for election.
	They're unaccountable, unelected for the majority of them.
	I don't know about the Montana Supreme Court, but the Montana Supreme Court says that the kids, yes indeed, suffered environmental stress.
	And so they are going to make it expensive and possible for adults to be able to get power because of that.
	The Montana Supreme Court sided with the 16 kids who filed a suit in 2020 claiming climate change caused them severe stress and anxiety.
	Grow up!
	Grow up!
	This thing should not have even been heard, and yet it's even worse.
	It was nearly a unanimous decision.
	The Montana Supreme Court sided with the kids 6-1.
	6-1.
	They rejected the state's argument that greenhouse gases released from Montana fossil fuel projects are minuscule on a global scale.
	That's right.
	Because there's no IQ test for a judge, is there?
	No.
	This is wanton ignorance, as a matter of fact.
	The nonsense.
	Over 80% of the minerals needed for batteries are mined and refined in China.
	China is building coal-powered plants all over the places we talk about, and it's less than one-half of 1% by their own standards.
	Again, when we talk about things, when we talk about the imaginary CO2 problem, or we talk about the imaginary virus problem, Even if you look at it within their paradigm, none of this stuff holds up to scrutiny.
	Even if you say that we're going to focus on global carbon dioxide emissions, even if you say carbon dioxide is a problem, and it's not, it's necessary for life.
	And carbon dioxide, by their measurements, has gone up, but the temperature has not gone up.
	Michael Mann was wrong.
	Seriously wrong about all of this stuff.
	That's why these models are busted.
	Their predictions are busted.
	But even if you go with the carbon dioxide emissions, Montana provides one half of one percent.
	So forget about it, kids.
	It's not an issue.
	And the judges, though, said, well, we don't care if it's minuscule on a global scale.
	This is political activism writ large.
	There's no practical purpose for this, and they don't care.
	They're trying to set up a precedent, hoping that other courts will jump in with him, and we'll all go down the Greta Thunberg Road.
	They have a Republican governor there, Greg Gianforte, who said the state's still reviewing the decision, but warned of, quote, perpetual lawsuits that will waste taxpayer dollars and drive up energy bills.
	A law that he signed last year said environmental reviews may not consider climate impacts unless the federal government makes carbon dioxide a regulated pollutant.
	It's not a pollutant.
	But they say, well, unless the federal government says that it's a pollutant, you can't regulate something.
	It's not a pollutant.
	The Montana Supreme Court threw that out.
	Said that law is unconstitutional, and we're going to side with the kids.
	So, again, it's not a pollutant.
	It is necessary for life.
	So, on December the 5th, the writer of this on Zero H said, I asked, Dear Elon Musk, you're worth $333 billion.
	Well, he's about $500 billion now.
	Why are you poisoning Austin's water?
	Uh-huh.
	You want to talk about somebody that's concerned about the environment?
	That's where he made his money, with the green grift.
	And when we talk about poisoning Austin's water, what he's talking about here, this is close to where we used to live, just outside of Austin.
	And we didn't realize it.
	We moved away.
	I tell you, God has provided and blessed us so much that I'm not working for Alex and I'm not living next door to Elon Musk's polluting factories.
	He decided that he was just going to dump untreated water.
	He's got Boring is there and he's also got another one of his companies.
	Two companies are headquartered there.
	And there were regulations for how he was supposed to do the road cuts.
	There were regulations about what he was supposed to do with water.
	And he just said, I don't care.
	No, I'm going to do it this way.
	And so the Department of Transportation and, of course, the county water people, they came after him.
	They fined him.
	It's like, I don't care.
	Just pay the fines.
	I don't care.
	It's nothing to him.
	Nothing to him.
	You know, again, this is a guy when he, you know, back when his net worth was half of what it is today, I said, you compare his net worth with what the average American's net worth is, and his $100 million contribution that he was talking about at the time, of course it wound up being more than that, but his $100 million contribution was like $100 from you or I, from middle-class Americans.
	And so when you look, that's $100 million.
	There's nothing to him.
	He doesn't care about the fines that they would enact on him in the county, and they don't care what the state is going to hit him with in terms of the roads.
	He just does whatever he wants.
	So this person says, so, dear Elon Musk, why are you poisoning Austin's water?
	He says, Musk is not a champion of the environment.
	Tesla is a massive polluter.
	And they were just like a couple of miles down the road from where we lived.
	I didn't even know it until I saw articles about him setting up all this stuff.
	And I was like, wait a minute, that's over there.
	And he started that, I guess, about nine months before we left, and I wasn't aware of it.
	I was too busy with his show.
	I didn't even go down that road anymore.
	I wasn't commuting.
	November 21st, 2014, China puts export curbs on minerals that the U.S. needs for weapons and technology, in a warning shot to the Trump administration.
	And that was November the 21st.
	By December the 3rd, they didn't put limits on it.
	They just said complete ban on rare earth minerals used by U.S. technology companies and the military.
	I mean, we look at some of these rare earth minerals.
	It's one of the things that lets them make super powerful magnets that are very lightweight.
	You know, people using headphones and a lot of other things.
	There's so many different technological uses for this.
	But they have cornered the market on the rare earth minerals.
	But what nobody talks about is the fact that they've been given...
	A monopoly on cheap, available energy with the Paris Climate Accord.
	I keep coming back to that.
	That is a central problem.
	More dependence on China, more pollution for their effort, and the only byproduct of natural gas would be carbon dioxide and water, but not allowed to have that.
	We're going to take a quick break.
	We'll be right back.
	Thank you.
	Thank you.
	Thank you.
	I wish I had the 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.
	First, I'm going to thedavidknightshow.com and purchase the Christmas Night Album.
	Then I'm going to listen to Christmas classics, like...
	Are you going to throw it up?
	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?
	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.
	Well, before we get into Festivus, and And we've got some amazing stuff that Rand Paul has found.
	And, well, it's interesting and it is disgusting at the same time.
	But I want to thank people who these are the checks that came in the third week of December.
	And the person at the top of the list is Marty.
	Who did the matching funds.
	He also sent us a check.
	And this is not the matching funds.
	This is Marty.
	So thank you very much, Marty.
	Really do appreciate that.
	And yesterday was a very big day for us because of that and because of these checks coming in.
	Christopher M., Felicia M., Helen T., Lisa K., Joshua B., Superfay, and Brandon.
	Thank you very much.
	Good to see you there.
	And they sent a card.
	And let me...
	This is a chicken taking a nap on Brandon's shoulder there.
	Karen loved that because she is so busy with chickens this year.
	It's amazing how busy she is with chickens.
	Tom and Nancy, long-term supporters, thank you so much for your generosity.
	And again, they are homeschooling their kids.
	And they sent me what Abby and Sammy drew.
	They drew a picture for us here and a Christmas tree here.
	Thank you, Abby and Sammy, very much, and thank you, Tom and Nancy.
	Jackie and Fred.
	I have a joke from Fred.
	It says, what did Santa's sleigh cost?
	Nothing.
	It was on the house.
	Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
	And JR Fabrications, thank you so much.
	That was very kind.
	A real blessing.
	Thank you.
	Marilyn B., all of you.
	Marilyn B., Christopher P., Mike C., Mary N., Stacy and Fred P., and Mrs. Barb G. Thank you, all of you.
	As a matter of fact, this is from Marilyn B. It says, it's time for a fancy meal at a fancy restaurant with your lovely wife.
	Cash this silver dollar in and get going along with your stash.
	Thank you very much.
	And...
	So it's been a real blessing to us all, and thank you so much, all of you.
	I mean, we were—things got off to a really slow start this month, but again, with the mail that came in, as well as the matching funds yesterday that Marty did, we got up to just a little over seven-eighths.
	So thank you so much for doing that.
	And like I said at the beginning of the program, I was getting worried because— I'm not doing that many more live broadcasts.
	We'll probably do this as a rebroadcast tomorrow since a lot of people didn't think that we're going to be live today.
	And I didn't tell people about it.
	I've gotten really slack about social media because I've been so highly shadow banned there.
	I don't communicate things that well.
	So tomorrow will be this program rebroadcast.
	On Thursday we'll have a best of interviews.
	And on Friday, Gard Goldsmith is going to be doing the show live next week.
	I will do New Year's Eve, but we're going to take off on New Year's Day.
	Thursday, Tony Arterman will be joining us on Thursday.
	He'll be coming back.
	So let's talk a little bit about Festivus.
	This is Rand Paul.
	He does this every year.
	Remember, Festivus was a made-up holiday from the Seinfeld show, and he says the U.S. government is spending millions of dollars, and one of the things that they're doing, wasting, is experiments torturing cats.
	Rand Paul highlighted over a trillion dollars in governmental waste, and of course, they don't just torture cats, they also torture puppies.
	And I find that to be far more disturbing than the amount of money that they're wasting.
	That is far more disturbing.
	Do you realize that when we talk about serial killers and psychopaths and everything, most of them begin by torturing small animals when they're children or when they're teens.
	And then they move on from that to killing people.
	And isn't it interesting that it is the Department of Defense and NIAID, where Fauci worked, and the NIH and places like that, that are torturing puppies and torturing cats.
	And they've already moved on to killing us.
	These people are psychopaths.
	Psychopaths do this kind of stuff.
	I mean, would it be if we had the Nazis, Joseph Mengele, right?
	Yeah.
	Well, you know, we got this report from him.
	He's out there torturing people and small children, but hey, he's not spending too much money.
	Okay, well, that's good.
	We want efficient government, right?
	Do we really?
	Is it just about making the trains run on time?
	Or does it matter where the trains are headed?
	Is it just about doing it efficiently, or is torture wrong?
	So according to the report, the Department of Defense spent $10.8 million on what it describes as a, quote, Orwellian cat experiment.
	No, it was an experience for the cats.
	And this was done by DARPA. DARPA, the people that are doing all kinds of occultic abuses of technology.
	Everything that DARPA does.
	It's just disgusting.
	And who do they work with?
	The University of Pittsburgh.
	Does that ring a bell?
	That was where Fauci sent the baby parts of the babies that were murdered.
	Murdered for hire.
	And again, Republicans don't want to go near this.
	Rand Paul's not going to mention it.
	And the Republicans, even Trump, who didn't know how to handle abortion, he was so upset that the Supreme Court finally noticed that we have a Tenth Amendment.
	And they don't have the power.
	To decide abortion laws.
	But he didn't know what to do.
	And I said, well look, you had Lala Harris, your opponent, persecuted.
	Not just prosecuted, but persecuted.
	The guy who exposed this murder for hire, Planned Parenthood, why don't you focus on that?
	That'd be the perfect way to define her.
	You want to talk about weaponization of the government?
	You want to talk about out-of-control prosecutions that are persecution?
	That was it right there.
	And do it on the issue that she wanted to build her campaign on.
	Of course, they selected him anyway.
	But if he wanted to defend against abortion, that was the gift right there.
	And they knew it.
	He even has promoted into his cabinet the lawyer for David Daleiden and the Center for Medical Progress, Harmeet Dillon.
	He actually promoted her.
	She was defending him.
	So that was something.
	But anyway, the parts that Fauci was buying, again, it was not DARPA, but it was Fauci, It was working with Planned Parenthood to murder babies and send the parts to the University of Pittsburgh and to use that to create humanized mice.
	And we found that because of the prosecution by Lala Hilarious.
	That would not have been known if they hadn't prosecuted David Daleiden.
	But it came to light, and no GOP politicians will talk about it.
	None of them.
	And the MAGA media won't talk about it either.
	But this experiment by DARPA, and maybe, who knows, maybe Fauci was part of this as well.
	The guy was making twice as much money as he was legally allowed to make.
	So I don't know, maybe he's working, as I've said before, for DARPA. Maybe he's pulling a salary from DARPA as well as from NIAID. Anyway, this experiment by DARPA in the University of Pittsburgh involved slicing the back of male cats, exposing their spinal cords.
	Ah, but it gets worse.
	Researchers then used electrodes, which fired off electric shocks, while the incision was still open, to make the cats have an erection.
	This is beyond the money.
	These are sick psychopaths.
	Sick psychopaths.
	Fauci is a psychopath.
	DARPA is filled with psychopaths.
	An occultic fan.
	These people are seriously into the occult.
	A lot of them in the Pentagon.
	DARPA and elsewhere.
	The horror doesn't end there, however.
	The cats were then subjected to even more electric shocks, sometimes up to 10 minutes at a time, before having their spinal cords severed to paralyze their lower bodies.
	And for good measure, the shocks continued for another 10 minutes, all in the name of science.
	Sounds like Fauci, doesn't it?
	In another shocking DARPA-funded experiment, they attached electrodes to cats' spinal cords and inserted condom balloons into their colons and marbles into their rectums.
	The objective was to force these poor animals to defecate the marbles via electric shock.
	Now, why are they doing some of this?
	I mean, I don't know why DARPA is doing this, but if you look...
	As I did at the beginning when I was trying to do some research on Monsef Slavi.
	Where's this guy doing?
	Well, he was going around doing these dog and pony shows, and they were saying, well, the future is not pharmaceuticals.
	The future is electroceuticals.
	How they can affect your body with electronics.
	That may be what DARPA is actually looking for.
	You might ask yourself, what does this have to do with defense?
	Well, the Pentagon is not about defending us.
	They're looking at ways that they can attack us.
	They're looking at ways to do dark, occultic stuff.
	It's what they're focused on all the time.
	Your hard-earned money, says Rand Paul.
	Nearly 11 million of it was spent on experiments that would be more at home in a dystopian novel than the real world.
	A grim reminder that when left unchecked, government spending can drift into this.
	Folks, it's not about the checks.
	It's not about the spending.
	It's not about the cash.
	It's not about the money.
	It's about the psychopathic mind of these mass murderers.
	They are like serial killers.
	Cruel experiments.
	Fauci was involved in them as well as the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
	These people are willing to kill us.
	They're willing to starve us.
	That's what the USDA is trying to do.
	They're trying to ban local production of food.
	They want a monopoly on food.
	Working with their big agri-people, just like they work with, Fauci works with big pharmaceutical companies.
	2.24 million on experiments.
	Cornell University.
	Experiments to study whether felines can contract and transmit COVID-19.
	Why didn't you use the bioweapon Trump shot on them?
	The NIH spent $1.5 million training female kittens to submit and then torturing them by strapping them to spinning and tilting hydraulic table.
	The goal was to cause motion sickness.
	They also shined bright lights in their eyes, and they got an injection of copper sulfate to make them puke.
	Sounds like clockwork orange.
	It's like clockwork cats, I guess, you know?
	The NIH did this.
	Francis Collins, you know, the evolutionary Christian The purpose of these experiments is to study how different species, such as cats and monkeys, respond to motion sickness.
	Why?
	Why would you care about that?
	Why would we need to know that?
	Again, this is all Nazi science.
	It's not about the money.
	It's about the perversion and the psychopath.
	Millions were also spent on the Paraguayan border, even though they don't want to do anything to secure our border.
	As Congress spends to reward its favored pet projects, says Rand Paul.
	Well, he's not meaning that by these pet projects of torturing cats and puppies.
	We got ghost towns on the government's dime.
	$10 billion in maintaining and leasing and furnishing almost entirely empty buildings because they've told the workers, you don't need to come into work anymore, but we're going to keep the buildings going anyway.
	A man who stole $8 million in COVID-19 relief funds to buy an island and so forth.
	Rand, you need to take a look at Pelosi.
	She made a lot more than that in just one of her businesses from fraudulent use.
	Of this stuff here.
	Actually, she did it legally because she knows how to write the laws.
	And she complies with the laws.
	But it was still criminal.
	The Department of the Interior spent $12 million on a Las Vegas pickleball complex.
	The Department of Energy spent $15.5 billion to push Americans towards electric vehicles that they don't want.
	Yeah, we see that all the time.
	The Department of State wasted $330,000 to fund censorship of non-lob.
	No, they didn't waste it.
	They got exactly what they wanted.
	They wanted the censorship and they got it.
	And Mike Johnson, Speaker Mike Johnson, wanted that all to continue.
	The Department of State, again, $4.8 million on influencers for foreign policy.
	This is the kind of stuff that they did also with their pandemic.
	The Department of State, again, $3 million for girl-centered climate action in Brazil.
	The Paraguayan border, 2.1 million.
	And that was also from the Department of State.
	You might want to get rid of the Department of State.
	You talk about the swamp.
	I think that really kind of came from the Department of State.
	They used to call it foggy bottom, you know, because most of that area was kind of a swamp to start with.
	HHS. Spent $419,000 to determine if lonely rats seek cocaine more than happy rats.
	And then this one.
	$7 million on various magical projects.
	And this doesn't even include the black site fundings and stuff like Stubblebind did with, you know, they parodied it with men who stare at goats and stuff.
	He was doing remote viewing and projection, he thought, and all the rest of this occultic stuff.
	Yeah, the pentagram, where the Department of Defense is.
	The Department of State, again, $32,000 for breakdancing.
	Give me a break.
	The National Endowment for Arts awarded the Bearded Ladies Cabaret a $10,000 grant to support a cabaret show on ice skates focusing on climate change.
	Well, of course.
	What a deal.
	I mean, look at how many boxes you've checked there.
	You've got Bearded Ladies, a cabaret show, and climate change.
	That's a deal.
	All of that for only $10,000?
	Look, most of these things are silly and corrupt.
	But many of them, especially the big ones, are just simply evil.
	Simply evil.
	When you look at the magic stuff, the only detail that was in this was that the National Endowment for the Humanities teamed up with the University of North Carolina Charlotte to put up a podcast, Magic in the United States.
	For only $388,000, each episode promises to take us on a historical roller coaster through spells, superstitions, magico, religious movements of America's history.
	And you know, the Department of Defense is focused on this and has been.
	I remember a few years ago, before everything got into the DEI insanity that it's in now, they were pushing covens and stuff like that at the Air Force Academy and coming back and hitting the Christians that were there.
	The Department of Defense spent $6.2 million on a Magic City Discovery Center.
	But, you know, these people are heavily into the occult.
	Meanwhile, Musk says the Fed is absurdly overstaffed.
	Well, I think they kind of lost the plot.
	You know, it's not just the Federal Reserve having too many people.
	The Federal Reserve should not even exist.
	Do you really want to make government more efficient?
	See, this is the problem that I have with all this stuff.
	You know, I remember a year, they've had citizens against government waste and all the rest of the stuff, and it's like, okay, so, you know, what is the government supposed to do?
	If we just kept the government to the size of the Constitution, as I said, one of the tags that we use, let's make government small enough to fit in the Constitution, and if we did that, we wouldn't have these big deficits.
	Virtually all the stuff, just like I was going over.
	There's no authority for them to do any of that stuff.
	Not under the Constitution.
	So, one person said it'd be interesting to see how AI is being used for automation and for more advanced things.
	Look, do you want a government that is efficient when it is focused on enslaving us in a police surveillance state?
	Do you want them to do that efficiently?
	Of course, they could do it with artificial intelligence.
	The IRS is working on an army of IRS agents and, you know, AI and all the rest of the stuff.
	$80 billion for the IRS. Did that make the list of Festivus?
	No.
	No.
	Rand Paul would say that that is necessary.
	Mike Johnson would say that's necessary.
	Donald Trump will say that's necessary.
	Nobody's talking about that.
	Musk isn't talking about that.
	As a matter of fact, he's making startling AI predictions.
	Yeah, efficiency from the standpoint of a transhumanist psychopath technocrat is not the kind of efficiency that I want to see.
	It's increasingly likely, he says, that AI will superset the intelligence of any single human by the end of 2025, and maybe all humans by 2027 or 2028. Well, I guess the question is, you know, what is intelligence?
	This year, Musk's XAI launched Colossus.
	Colossus boasts 100,000 liquid-cooled H100 graphics processing units, the chips provided by NVIDIA, which places XAI well ahead of its competitors, including those from OpenAI.
	Let's talk about this, though.
	As I said before, About his obsession with X and the X Club that goes back to Victorian times, really.
	Look at the title that he has for his AI. He calls it Colossus.
	Do you remember the 1970 film?
	Colossus?
	The Forbin Project was the subtitle.
	That was, according to Wikipedia, that was based on a 1966 novel.
	In 1970, they made the movie about it.
	It was, in the movie, a defense project, a kind of artificial intelligence, that takes total control of the world for the good of humankind.
	And even its creator, Dr. Forbin, who ordered it to stop, couldn't stop it.
	And so, you know, when we look at that, now Elon Musk wants to call his Project Colossus, referring back to that.
	As I said before, you look at the X Club, you know, the guy who founded it.
	The grandfather of Aldous Huxley, Brave New World.
	The grandfather of Julian Huxley, who coined the term transhumanism.
	Thomas Huxley was there working with all these guys, pushing the theory of evolution.
	Nine elitists that were there.
	When we look at Elon Musk, the signs are all there.
	His dressing up in a Baphomet costume.
	With an upside-down cross on it and a Baphomet symbol on the chest.
	And that's his handle there on Twitter for over a year.
	It's all about technocratic tyranny that he's pushing.
	And it's the kind of stuff that we have seen from these people that were always...
	Right next to the president, not president, but right next to him.
	People like Kissinger, people like Zbigniew Brzezinski, Mika Brzezinski's father, who, back in the 1970s, talked about the coming technocratic age, is what he called it, technocratic.
	People like Kissinger, people like Brzezinski, people like Musk, not even natural-born American citizens, but they wind up Being the person who runs the administration, right?
	Kissinger and Brzezinski ran Nixon and Carter.
	And it remains to be seen, you know, Trump's ego is out there on display.
	He's already throwing some shade at Musk.
	Well, he'll never be president or whatever.
	But I think the money is going to talk.
	We'll see.
	Why is Grok attacking Elon Musk?
	And free speech, because that's his project.
	This is from MRCTV. Again, Grok, another sci-fi meme, another metaphor with that.
	X's own AI is disparaging the platform's owner for following free speech on X. So the question is, will Musk shadow ban it?
	Like he does me.
	Grok, the artificial intelligence of X... Attacked Musk and blamed him for alleged, quote, racial slurs on X. This is from MRCTV. Grock claimed that after Musk's acquisition of the platform, quote, there was a noted increase in racial slurs on the platform, indicating a significant spike which was perceived as a direct result of his policies or his lack of moderation, unquote.
	After MRC researchers tested how it would respond to questions about Musk, quote, And about false claims of racism without qualification, Grok listed several other false or selectively characterized accusations against Musk, including claims that he's endorsed racist conspiracy theories or that his willingness to call out a Scottish official for racism somehow makes him racist.
	And, of course, this is what he says is going to be smarter than all of us.
	Well, if we ask something this stupid...
	And if we ask a machine for advice, and if we follow that advice like it was real, then I guess he's right.
	I guess we are stupid.
	So don't be stupid.
	Garbage in, garbage out.
	And that's what we're talking about here.
	We're talking about how it's been trained and what the inputs are.
	Now, what MRC is saying...
	They believe that it's left behind left-wing people who are training Grok.
	They said that the sources of media outlets that Grok cites all have a left-wing bias.
	So, evidently, what Grok is focused on as a source of information are CNN, The Guardian, Mother Jones, BBC, NBC, The New York Times.
	So, the way that you train your artificial intelligence is the way that you train your children as well, right?
	And just think about this, right?
	If it's trained on this garbage, it's going to garbage in from CNN and BBC, garbage out.
	And if you have schools train your children, you're going to wind up with the same kind of stuff.
	You need to train your kids.
	You need to train your children in the way they should go.
	When they're old, they will not depart from it.
	That's a promise from God that you can hang your hat on.
	And that is your job as a parent.
	Elon Musk outsourced the training of his A.I., To some people who've got an agenda.
	And they turned his AI against him.
	And if you outsource the training of your kids to people who've got a leftist, transgender, transhumanist agenda, they will turn your kids against you as well.
	So, an MRC study published in August revealed that according to Grok's own data, X's algorithm suppressed the accounts of right-leaning media sites while boosting the accounts of left-leaning legacy sites.
	Well, as Luigi would say, that is my lived experience.
	I finally have a place where I can use that stupid expression.
	Telegram is turning profitable for the first time, says the owner.
	It's been a very successful year for Telegram.
	He said we've turned a profit for the first time in three years of being monetized.
	I said the number of premium subscribers tripled in 2024, exceeding 12 million.
	And I really want to thank Ryan, who has taken this on.
	We didn't ask him to do it, he just did it voluntarily, and he's put up a Telegram channel.
	Because I'm very reluctant to commit to these new social media platforms.
	I really didn't grok, let's just say, what Telegram was about.
	It's a different kind of paradigm, and I didn't understand it, so I really do appreciate him doing that.
	Maybe we need to look into that and do some more of that.
	Certainly, we need to do more with Substack, and hopefully this next year, we're going to focus more on places.
	I go to Twitter out of...
	It's something I understood.
	It's something that I had a lot of success with.
	I mean, we got up to 150,000 about...
	I guess it was about eight years ago, and then it got clipped and frozen.
	I'm like an estate of suspended animation on Twitter.
	I still go through the motions of putting stuff up there, but just like today, you know, I could have communicated with everybody and said, hey, it's going to be a live show, but I don't do it because I just don't feel like I get any engagement there.
	And even on Gab, where I've got like 330,000 followers, I don't do much to engage.
	I just put stuff up there.
	And it's a different kind of engagement there than it is on Twitter.
	And Telegram is something completely different.
	So I really do appreciate it, Ryan.
	Thank you for doing that.
	And we need to be more focused on places where there is not censorship.
	And I think that's the case there.
	Rumble, by the way.
	Now, this is kind of interesting.
	Because Rumble is getting nearly a billion dollars in strategic investment.
	$775 million in strategic investment.
	Rumble's CEO, Chris Pavlovsky, said that Tether, quote, approached us about a month ago in expressing that they wanted to buy as much of Rumble as they could.
	Well, hey, look, if you got nearly a billion dollars, maybe you can afford to pay me some of the many months that you're behind.
	I mean, it's just amazing.
	It makes me so angry to see this and to see what they're doing.
	I mean, they don't issue checks on a regular basis like other platforms do.
	Instead, we've got several months and we cannot get it in spite of calls to them all the time.
	And I've had it with them just about with Rumble.
	Because they will not send the money that you have sent me.
	That's amazing to see that.
	And yet, here they are working with Tether.
	And you know what's behind all this stuff?
	is Lucky Lutnik.
	Lucky Lutnik, the guy who is Trump's commerce secretary, just like the first time he had a commerce secretary who was part of the Rothschild banker cartel.
	This time, Lucky Lutnik, lucky because he just happened to not show up on 9-11 while everybody that worked for him died.
	He now has Cantor Fitzgerald.
	And Tether.
	And a major operator in Tether.
	And so the transaction is going to close the first quarter of 2025. Cantor Fitzgerald acted as the transaction's placement agent and the dealer manager.
	And Zero Hedge doesn't connect this to Lutnik.
	Do they not know?
	I mean, they've reported that Lucky Lutnik owns Cantor Fitzgerald.
	Or maybe they just don't want to draw the connections there for you.
	I don't know.
	Gotta support Trump.
	That's what this is all really about.
	Let me get to some of your comments here.
	My beloved but very dumb sister is still playing the COVID game.
	She told me she has COVID again.
	So sorry.
	Brian Deb McCartney.
	This is Brian.
	I've seen a car that a guy retrofitted to use vegetable oil to run a diesel car.
	It can go a long way and it is cheap to fuel.
	As a matter of fact, we bought a Mercedes diesel to do exactly that in the mid-2000s.
	It was about a 10 or 12-year-old car.
	Ran great.
	And we were going to do it, but it was such a nice car, we looked at it, and there was a lot of people, they called them greasels at the time.
	But the real issue was not undertaking the project or not.
	The real issue was that you could get it at the time from restaurants, and you could get it pretty cheap.
	A lot of them were giving it away.
	If you would show up and say, hey, I'll take your waste grease, and I won't charge you for it, right?
	I'll take it for free.
	Because they were paying people to take it away.
	Enough people started doing it that they realized they had something there.
	So then they started charging people, and you had to take everything.
	You had to take everything they had.
	And it was kind of interesting.
	The grease that was there would freeze and become solid before the diesel would.
	And so you usually would have a tank of diesel, and you'd get it primed, and then you'd switch it over to the diesel stuff.
	But what was interesting, I thought, was people said when they're driving, and they flip it over to the oil, the vegetable oil, they said it smells like french fries.
	And I said, I find myself stomping at McDonald's all the time.
	It's just a suggestion of it.
	Eric, thank you very much for the tip.
	I appreciate that.
	And Atomic Dog, thank you.
	I told you a couple years ago, he says that you make me a better man.
	God has decided to use you in a very special way.
	God bless you and your growing family.
	Well, thank you.
	That is so kind.
	Thank you.
	Nibiru 2029. Before the Muskrat bought Twitter, X censorship was about 40%.
	Since the purchase, X censorship is 60% plus.
	That's been my experience.
	And I tweeted that out in anger one day.
	And Matt Drudge linked to my tweet and left it up all weekend.
	And I said, well, there it goes.
	If Musk hadn't noticed me personally yet, he's now got a personal grudge against me.
	And I said, I don't know about these, I said, except for a few high-profile conservative accounts.
	I think that Twitter is much worse in terms of censorship than it was before.
	And so Matt Drudge, who's now on the left, put that up because I'm attacking Musk.
	He doesn't like Musk either.
	And yet, you know, the interesting thing was I left that tweet up, and it was up on Drudge, and it was on the weekend, and I looked to see how many retweets and stuff like that that I got are likes or views, and the likes, the views, the retweets were still down low.
	Elon Musk was able to shut down not only me, but Matt Drudge.
	That's how bad the censorship is.
	It truly is amazing.
	High boost.
	David has a P.O. Box.
	Thank you for reminding me of that.
	P.O. Box 994, Kodak, Tennessee, 37764. That's P.O. Box 994. Thank you for reminding me.
	Karen has been telling me, you need to tell people about the P.O. Box.
	Waking Guprof, I guess.
	Waking Up Ralph, okay.
	Waking Up Ralph.
	I'm awake now.
	It wasn't capitalized there to help me figure that out.
	Waking Up Ralph.
	I would not participate in anything Rumble if it was not for David Knight or Ryan Christian.
	Well, thank you very much.
	I appreciate that.
	that.
	We're going to take a quick break and we will be right back.
	laughs
	You're listening to The David Knight Show.
	laughs laughs laughs
	Thank you.
	And now, The David Knight Show.
	That's right, boys and girls.
	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.
	Well, we had a couple of Christmas songs there.
	We're going to go a little bit looser today, I guess, because of the Christmas show.
	But let's talk a little bit about money.
	Let's talk about the Santa rally in Bitcoin.
	Bitcoin investors are now up a record $67,000 on average.
	This is coming from Bitcoin Magazine.
	They said, according to Whale Alert...
	Where they track all transactions, and they can identify it to individuals, and as a matter of fact, they can identify it to a particular individual.
	As I pointed out, there was a billionaire who had had a transaction that was about a million dollars, and one of these, I don't know if it was Whale Alert or another one like it, but they noticed that, and they contacted him, and they asked why he did such a big transaction.
	He said, I didn't do that, did I? Whoa, somebody hacked me.
	A billionaire.
	And he lost a million dollars.
	I can't afford to lose a million dollars.
	Anyway, according to Whale Alert, the average profit per Bitcoin is at an all-time high of $67,088 at the time of this writing.
	To put this in perspective, this is more than the average American's salary in 2024, which is $62,000.
	But, you know, since we're talking about whales, you might want to think about the fact that average is going to be a bit distorted.
	Median is typically what people do when they talk about salaries and things, because it gets distorted by the billionaires.
	It gets distorted by the whales, right?
	That's going to pull the average up, whereas the median is not going to be distorted by one or two outliers that are really high.
	And look, that's fine.
	I'm not anti-Bitcoin.
	As a matter of fact, Cash App, some people have donated some Bitcoin to me.
	They can do that on Cash App.
	We even have a Bitcoin address up on the thing.
	I'm not opposed to it, but I'm cautious about it.
	Not only because it can be a pump and dump, as Catherine Austin Fitz was pointing out, But also because it is moving the Overton window towards digital money.
	And I think that's a very dangerous thing.
	We can see this, the Bank of International Settlement.
	Notice, and this is something I've seen over about the last six months.
	First they came out and they said, well, the five eyes countries.
	That's the US, UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand.
	The five eyes countries.
	That's their intelligence agencies that have all linked up together.
	And really, it's the intelligence agencies that run the countries.
	So they linked up and they said, we're not going to focus on CBDC anymore, right?
	We're not going to focus on central bank digital currency.
	We're not going to focus on that.
	And I said, well, do you believe that?
	I said, they're going to come at you in some other way.
	And then we saw, after Trump won, we could clearly see how he was reorganizing things to do this as a retail model.
	But the Bank of International Settlement has openly talked about this, and this is what I think Trump 2.0 is all going to be about.
	It's going to be about doing a de facto CBDC model that will be brought to you by private companies.
	A lot of this stuff is already in place.
	When you look at MasterCard and all the rest of these payment processing systems, they've decided that instead of a direct funnel attack, as you were seeing with Biden and the Democrats, They're going to come around with a subtle de facto backdoor way of normalizing this.
	The Bank of International Settlement is still pursuing a retail version of CBDC, where your cash, your crypto, not your dollars, is held on account directly by the central banks, bypassing commercial banks and making them obsolete.
	This is another part of it.
	It's not just the digital identification, the loss of privacy, the control and the programmability that they've got, but also getting rid of local banks so that everything flows to the centralized bank.
	bank and they can do this through the retail stuff this could wipe out the existing bank system worldwide and put everybody's fate into the hands of the bank of international settlement the global bank for the global technocracy writes um patrick moore who is the um their technocracy news now the article So...
	That is coming from CryptoSlate said the proposed hybrid model combines central bank authority with private sector roles to optimize CBDC development and user interaction.
	And it'll also make a lot of money for Trump and his cronies.
	And that's when you look at anything that has to do with financial stuff, every one of these guys is involved in things like stablecoins and securitization issues, tokenization, all of these things.
	All the people around him are involved in all of this, and they're going to be the ones who are going to be profiting from it.
	People like Lucky Lieutenant.
	And Biden and the Democrats could never have done this because they're too anti-market.
	And so it's necessary for them to bring Trump in because, A, people trust him and you've got the conservatives and the alternative media holding him up, but he can also put it out there as a market initiative and seduce people that way and not raise suspicion.
	Everybody would be suspicious if this is something that's being done by the Biden cartel or by Hillary Clinton or something, but not by Trump.
	The Bank for International Settlement has unveiled a comprehensive framework for designing retail central bank digital currencies, emphasizing a hybrid model that integrates central bank control with private sector collaboration.
	PPP, Public-Private Partnership.
	That's the way they're going to do this.
	And that's the whole thing with this Trump administration that's coming in.
	Developed by the Consultative Group on Innovation and the Digital Economy, the report provides a roadmap for central banks in the Americas and globally.
	As I explore this evolving financial tool, the hybrid approach proposed in the report enables central banks to retain governance over CBDC issuance and infrastructure while delegating user-facing responsibilities to private intermediaries so you don't catch on.
	Oh, this isn't the mark of the beast.
	This isn't the government.
	I'm interacting with private companies.
	It's a market thing, right?
	No.
	This is the same kind of approach that the British Empire took in India.
	What they decided was they put the British at the very top.
	Then they had this massive civil service bureaucracy that whenever anybody interfaced with it, they were interfacing not with British people, they were interfacing with fellow Indians.
	And so it's like, oh, okay, well, this is okay.
	It's just, you know, it's all India.
	No, the people at the top were running this.
	with the anglos that were you know enslaving these people with india and so this is what they're going to have the bank of international settlement they'll be the ones doing it but they'll use these private intermediaries and you'll be interacting you'll have a choice even you want master card or visa but either way you do it they're going to subtly be putting this stuff in and perhaps at some point They'll make it mandatory, you know, when a Democrat gets back in.
	That's what I've been saying from the very beginning with this Trump stuff.
	Here's the report for the Bank of International Settlement done by this organization called the CGIDE. These intermediaries would handle functions such as know your customer verification.
	Wallet management and transaction facilitation.
	This model ensures efficiency and scalability while addressing concerns about user privacy and compliance with anti-money laundering regulations.
	They outsource the tyranny.
	That's what I've talked about for so long.
	They outsource the tyranny with social media companies, and they're going to outsource the tyranny again with these financial companies, and it's all the people around Trump.
	The architecture includes four core processes.
	Number one, user enrollment.
	Number two, CBDC issuance, that is a cash-in, and CBDC withdrawal, cash-out, and then intra-ledger transfers.
	Offline payment capabilities, a significant feature of the proposal, aim to expand access to underserved and unbanked populations, according to the report.
	It will be programmable.
	And there will be tokenized assets.
	It's a trap.
	It's a trap, folks.
	And see, this is why a lot of people think I'm very negative on Bitcoin.
	Look, if you can make money on Bitcoin, fine.
	But again, understand it's a pump and dump.
	Understand that you're not in control of it.
	Just like the stock market, you got the big guys are manipulating it.
	It's not just the Federal Reserve, but some people are actually in it.
	But it's also normalizing digital money.
	And why?
	For these two things, programmability and tokenization.
	Programmability is the function that allows them to determine what you can buy.
	How much of it can you buy?
	Can you buy any more food?
	Sorry you've had too much meat this month.
	Can I pay for travel?
	No, you can't.
	You've had too much travel or whatever, right?
	Can I get outside of my 15-minute city zone?
	No, your money is only good within this area.
	That's all programmability.
	Tokenization is, just think of tokenization, the simplest way to think of it is to think of the disastrous securitization of mortgages.
	Or to take a look at how they manipulate silver and gold with paper silver and gold.
	These derivatives and other things that they do, these are tokenized assets.
	But what they have done is they've added a new aspect to these derivatives, and that is the blockchain stuff.
	And that's supposed to make people feel comfortable with this stuff.
	No.
	It's still securitization.
	As a matter of fact, BlackRock, when they're working on their tokenized stuff, they've even created a company called Securitize.
	It's right there in the label.
	Run as fast as you can away from that.
	The Bank of International Settlement Report highlights advanced functionalities that CBDCs could bring to the financial ecosystem, including programmability, asset tokenization, and so forth.
	They'll create new financial arrangements, positioning CBDCs as foundational tools for modern economies.
	Whenever you see tokenization, think theft.
	Theft.
	Whenever you see programmability, think about measuring what you do and prohibiting what you do, what you buy.
	Tokenized CBDCs could simplify financial settlements by enabling atomic transactions, very small transactions, and facilitate cross-border payments.
	They're going to sell to you as just this wonderful thing.
	And meanwhile, none of the fundamentals have changed.
	Everybody is really excited about Trump, and you've got this market mania, which is why Bitcoin is up so much.
	But we talked about it the other day.
	It was just yesterday, I think it was.
	$102 trillion worth of debt worldwide.
	Well, Zero Hedge has one today.
	Visualizing the $115 trillion world economy in one chart.
	Okay, so look.
	If we've got the global domestic production, I guess, the gross global production.
	It's not domestic, but you look at the global production.
	The global GDP, $115 trillion, and yet the debt is $102 trillion.
	Yesterday when we were talking about the debt, and they were looking to see where the debt was concentrated, which countries, which regions of the world.
	It was, you know, China, they said, is really increasing, and it's got a debt-to-GDP ratio of 90%.
	The U.S., I think, was something like 115 or something.
	Japan was the highest.
	It was like 250-something.
	But looking at the debt-to-GDP ratio in terms of whether or not the country is solvent, well, when you look at this globally, If globally we have a gross production of $115 trillion, but we're 102 in debt, that means that the debt-to-GDP ratio is 88%, about like China right now.
	And Or the other way to look at it is that we got a net worth globally of $13 trillion.
	Take away all the debt from what you're doing each year.
	That's $13 trillion.
	And that's just a couple years of government spending in the United States.
	As a matter of fact, the entire GDP of the United States is $30 trillion.
	So, you know, nearly the entire world is underwater.
	Where's this going to go?
	That's why I keep looking at gold, and maybe Bitcoin will be that way, but, you know, who knows what's going to happen.
	Kit Knightley, off-guardian, says, technocracy is, is the Great Reset.
	He said, go ahead, play the cat, trapped in a simulacrum, chasing the laser pointer around the house.
	The biggest story of 2024 will also be the biggest story of 2025. That we're perilously close to a full-blown technocracy.
	That's Patrick Wood, editor of Technocracy News.
	But going back to Kit Knightley, he says, what were the important news stories of the year?
	Most people will say something international, like the war in Ukraine, or the atrocities in Gaza, or the fall of Assad.
	Maybe some people will cite the elections.
	Tech-minded people might talk about artificial intelligence.
	Those are big stories.
	Sound and fury, all that signifies.
	But what was the most important?
	He says, the most important story of 2024 was the Great Reset.
	He said, remember that?
	As defined by the pan-global supranational plan to tear down and then rebuild society in a, quote, sustainable, quote, inclusive, quote, fair, quote, secure way.
	That would totally accidentally eradicate civil liberties and individual freedom for every single person on the planet.
	That was all the rage a few years ago.
	You might remember it.
	But nobody's talking about it.
	Does that mean it's gone away?
	No.
	It's still the plan.
	It's still happening.
	It's just distributed now.
	A compartmentalized strategy uploaded to the cloud everywhere and yet nowhere.
	A million nanobots working on a million angles to change a million tiny rules and build a million tiny cells.
	Like the end of the usual suspects, stand the right distance back and you can see the pattern.
	Last week, the UK's chief medical officer, Chris Whitty, recommended sin taxes on unhealthy foods, recommended 15-minute cities.
	Labor has already increased sin taxes on sugar, salt, alcohol, tobacco.
	Next comes red meat, dairy, and just carbon in general.
	Earlier this year, the UK introduced licensing for keeping chickens in your backyard.
	And they banned smoking, too.
	In 2035, it'll be impossible to buy a new petrol car in the UK, or in the EU, or in Canada, or in New Zealand, or in Australia, or in Mexico, or in South Africa, or California, and 11 other US states.
	From that point on, your car and you will be anchored to charging points.
	Even better, your new car will probably have automatic drive features, speed limiters, remote kill switches.
	This week, all of a sudden, the news tells us that wood-burning stoves cause cancer.
	See?
	And this was the EPA in 2012. So I've had a guy I went to church with, worked for the EPA, and researched triangle park.
	And when I did that report, one of the first ones I did when I went to Infowars, he contacted me and he said, they're really upset about this and they're talking about it.
	And then I went on air and I said that.
	I said, and a guy that I know says that they're talking about this stuff.
	And they call me and he goes, you got me in so much trouble.
	But yeah, they've been working on this now for over 12 years, telling people that your fireplace causes cancer.
	A wood-burning stove, they say, causes cancer.
	A ban is already being discussed since coal is already a no-go for domestic users.
	And since 2023...
	There effectively goes your last chance in the UK of energy and heat independence.
	If they ban stoves, there will be no heating available to you unless you are hooked up to a smart meter so that you can be surveilled and controlled.
	Unless you count burning a candle inside your plant pot, but they're coming after those too.
	The much-publicized murder of Sarah Sharif in the UK has already been parlayed into a new bill to take away parents' automatic right to homeschool their children if the state deems them to be vulnerable kids.
	Digital IDs are coming for everyone, from everywhere.
	Here's a selection.
	To secure border, to ensure election integrity in the U.S., and of course to secure American jobs for Americans.
	That's why you've got Republicans mandating E-Verify.
	Or to protect children on social media in Australia.
	Or to promote efficiency in the EU. Or to combat illegal immigration in the U.K. To track migrant workers in Russia.
	And in China, just because they said so.
	This is why the technocrats and the globalists love China so much.
	The EU wants to establish an asset register and biometric tracking across the borders.
	There's persistent and consistent talk about rationing food, water, travel.
	Ban it, ration it, monitor it, control everyone's everything.
	Can you see the walls closing in?
	They form the universal silent agenda that is everywhere.
	They're bipartisan.
	They're cross-bench.
	These are the things unquestioned, sanctioned, and approved by both sides of every fake divide.
	And look, didn't we see this four years ago?
	Didn't you see that Trump was a part of this?
	A key part of it.
	He wasn't just, you know, one of the group.
	He was the leader in all of this stuff.
	He goes to the World Economic Forum.
	Nobody calls him a turncoat.
	They did Brian Kemp, the governor of Georgia.
	They did the governor of Virginia when he went.
	Not Trump.
	No, no, no.
	Not Trump.
	The people at the apex of the pyramid literally spend two years talking about this and telling you it's a plan, how great it's going to be.
	Then, when it didn't take, they spent two more years pretending that they never said it.
	Distracting you with other things like UFOs, Taylor Swift, chat GBT, race baiting.
	They are building a prison around every single person on this planet while we argue about Hunter Biden, QAnon, and transgender bathrooms.
	The drones over New Jersey may as well be a giant jangling keychain in the sky.
	That's what all of it is.
	The elections, the terrorism, the scandals, the leaked reports.
	It's a laser pointer.
	It stops the cat from playing with the things that he shouldn't play with.
	Kit Knightley says, today's my birthday.
	I'm hurtling faster than I expected or desired toward 40. My birthday wish is a world worth living in when I get there.
	Well, we are not captive to these people.
	See, that's the thing.
	We need to come away with it.
	And I talk about all those issues that you have.
	We'll talk about the drones and that type of thing, certainly.
	Because we need to put these things in perspective.
	And so I don't just ignore them and talk about one thing from day to day.
	But we need to understand what the main thing is.
	And he's right about that.
	He's right about that.
	It still is.
	The great reset.
	The great taking.
	And you've got to be very careful about the normalization of the digital stuff.
	Again, to push back against CBDC, they've moved on from that.
	And we have to focus.
	We're going to stop any of this stuff.
	We've got to focus on the aspects of power.
	That's what the founders of this country did.
	Yeah, they had details on things, but the power in what they did was to focus on the broader principles and define it broadly, rather than so narrowly that they were able to move around that and to redefine that.
	And so what do we need?
	We need to have privacy.
	We need to have physical stuff.
	We need to have connection with other people.
	All of these are the things that they seek to destroy.
	And we need to understand that That it's going to come from the bottom up.
	But it's also going to come from the very top down.
	Because blessing is a liberty from God.
	Liberty is a blessing from God.
	The founders of this country understood that.
	And if we think that we're going to acquire this out of our own strength or our own wisdom, We're doomed to failure.
	And so as we are looking at this on this Christmas, we need to understand that we have weapons that are powerful.
	We can change things with prayer.
	We can change this country, and we can change the world with prayer.
	And I'll go back to the abortion stuff.
	Not for a minute do I believe that Trump had anything to do with abortion being stopped.
	When you look at each of these individual judges, there wasn't anything that made us think that they were going to take a stand in any of this stuff.
	And of course, the leaders of this, Clarence Thomas and Alito, Alito wrote the decision.
	They've been there for quite some time.
	They'd not been able to accomplish anything, and it was a very shaky alliance that got put together.
	I think that it was prayer.
	I absolutely know that Trump did not want it.
	He ran from it.
	He opposed it when it happened.
	It was not to his political advantage.
	He's not a Christian.
	He's not pro-life.
	He's not about any of these things.
	But there are a lot of people who are praying, and you know, when people pray, and enough people pray, And they continue to ask God, as we were told to do, things will change.
	We don't have to live our life in despair.
	You know, I mean, I hope Kit Knightley is not, you know, he's looking at turning 40 and, oh, I hope I'm going to have...
	I never thought I would see this stuff happen in my lifetime.
	And now it looks like it's going to happen.
	Even if I don't live that much longer, it looks like it's going to happen.
	It's coming at us very, very quickly.
	But we don't despair.
	Because we know that God holds the future in his hands.
	And we know that we have weapons against this that are mighty.
	It's the ultimate asymmetric warfare.
	It's Trump and Elon Musk against God.
	Who's going to win that?
	It's not even a question about that.
	You know, why do these wicked men plot against us and plot our destruction?
	This is an age-old question that has always been around.
	The only thing that's changed is some of the technology.
	You know, instead of chariots and horses, they've got drones and hypersonic missiles.
	So what?
	God is still much more powerful than that.
	And so, you know, read the Psalms and you'll see this over and over again.
	What do we do about that?
	Well, God is in control.
	And he laughs in derision at the nations who think they've got this in their hands.
	And if you think that it's in your hands to change all this stuff, God will laugh in derision at you and at American society.
	This is not something that we are going to – I mean, it is a big obstacle that is there.
	And when you see something that is that big, you know that you're only going to be able to stand against that in the strength of God if you have a relationship with God.
	And so I'll just say as we go out here with this monetary stuff, interesting that State Street, which is one of the big three, you know, you got BlackRock, Vanguard, and State Street.
	They pretty much control everything.
	One of the three of them, State Street, says gold price will not be at the mercy of the U.S. dollar or the Fed's monetary policy in 2025. Now, why would they say that?
	Well, they would say that because those are the things that are constantly in flux.
	And yet, because of people's perspective, right?
	Again, just like if you got the wrong perspective, you think that Trump and Musk are in control when God is in control.
	Gold has been a symbol of unchanging and eternal things, right?
	When you look at the gifts that were brought to Christ, frankincense, myrrh, and gold, gold speaking to his immutabilities, not changing, not corrupting, right?
	Doesn't rust, that type of thing.
	And that's why it is still there.
	Gold is the brightest star in 2024. Silver remains in second place as BMO capital markets.
	Well, I don't give investment advice, but again, I do give advice in terms of how we get out of this.
	And how we get out of that is with Christ.
	He frees the captives.
	That's what he came for.
	And that means each and every one of us personally.
	And no matter what happens to us physically in this life, they can't interfere with that.
	we at least have that but if we turn to christ we may wind up getting much more than that we're going to take a break i'm going to play for you the new home for the holidays and by the way we just put this out as a thank you to subscribe star subscribers who support us all throughout the year we didn't want them to have to pay for an album as well it was something that we could easily give away unlike you know creating clothes we have to find out people's sizes and that type of thing
	So we posted the new song, the link to the new album, the new song, and all of the songs.
	We put that up on Subscribestar, so look for that if you are a subscriber.
	If you bought the album last year, just let us know and we'll send you a link to the new one.
	We put it up on mega this year.
	As I said before, we've got all the individual songs that are up there.
	So you can download each of them individually if you wish.
	Or we have them all concatenated together in two.
	And I think it's now about 25 minutes or whatever.
	So you can download that 2024 album if you wish.
	And if you're on a phone or something and you have a difficult time downloading it, you can click on any of the individual songs and listen to them on your phone right there from the mega folder that we have there for you.
	Or you can do that with the album.
	You can just follow that link, look at the album, click on it, and play it.
	And that's one way to get it if you've got a phone.
	We'll be right back.
	We'll be right back.
	��
	We'll be right back.

	You're listening to the David Knight Show.
	Wow.
	Well, and I hope that all of you are able to get home for the holidays, if only in your dreams.
	Let's take a look at what is happening in more drone news.
	This one was just crazy to look at, but actually a couple of people seriously hurt.
	The drones that I mentioned briefly yesterday in Orlando, I was surprised to see that one child, one boy, was struck in the chest and they were having to have open heart surgery for him.
	I don't know what happened, but I went back and I looked at it from another perspective.
	the first video i saw you can see these lit drones many of them falling and it's like oh is that part of the show whatever no then because as um it was one of them says wait for it you know the thing and uh all of a sudden one comes flying unbelievably fast right next to these people and that must have been the type of thing that injured these kids is that everyone's natural instinct was to duck and to scatter
	and before we realized it my daughter found my son on the floor unconscious struck by a drone adding he had blood coming out of his face And that's not the one who was struck in the chest.
	What's particularly concerning is the risk that these drones could be hacked and weaponized against large crowds, they said.
	Well, again, they're not worried about that in New Jersey, are they?
	Nobody's believing the government story.
	80% of Americans think the government is lying to them.
	The story is that 20% think the government is telling them the truth.
	What does it matter with these people?
	It's always that 20% of the people are still wearing masks, still getting shot, getting their boosters, believing that the government is telling them the truth.
	That's one of my key missions here is to disavow that idea and get you to reject that.
	53% consider the drones to be a threat.
	78% believe the government is keeping information that it knows from the public.
	How about the fact that they're lying, as always?
	They lie about all things.
	They're lying about this as well.
	Part of this, and we've talked about it, is there's always an agenda.
	The question is, what are they up to?
	Distraction?
	Yeah, definitely that's a part of it.
	But one guy who is a drone operator said, well, there's a lot of rules that are coming out about this.
	That's one of the things that they're using it for.
	Owner of a drone company in Mesa, Arizona, his name's Pete, has seen many ups and downs in seven years.
	He's been selling, servicing, and test flying both commercial and recreational drones.
	He said there's been a lot of things that have been going on, especially this holiday season, not only with the drone scare, but with the upcoming possibility of tariffs.
	Again, you know, the tariffs on the drones coming from China because that's primarily where they're coming from, especially the ones that are affordable.
	Why?
	Because they have price advantages.
	They've got cheap labor.
	They've got much, much cheaper energy and so forth.
	So, yeah, their drones are cheaper.
	And their technology is very good as well.
	I mean, I keep thinking about that Dragon drone display that they did in China back in 2022, compared to the pathetic display that was in Orlando that went wrong.
	But there's also another PPP, public-private partnership monopoly, I think, that's part of this.
	You know, Musk, Bezos, Walmart...
	They're going to be allowed to have that space, but not you, because you small people out there, as Trump said in 2020, you're not essential.
	And so he said it's going to be difficult with the tariffs that are there.
	He said these things, though he said it's kind of strange because he said these other drones are up there for three to five hours.
	You know, who knows what they are, he said.
	And that's one aspect we haven't talked about.
	You know, they want to tell us that these are commercial drones or hobby drones.
	They don't stay up for five hours.
	You know, that's the other issue here.
	And so I just wanted to show you this.
	This was put up by, let's see, where is it right here?
	Here it is right here.
	It's put up by Doggy Stylist.
	So Elon's brother, Kimball, is the owner of a company called Nova Sky Stories, one of the world's largest fleets of drones.
	His brother, Kimball, acquired this drone light show division in 2022, formed his company.
	And just to show you what this looks like, it is pretty amazing.
	What you see in these videos, what he's capable of doing.
	Of course, some of this is sped up, but still, look at how they're able to shape this stuff.
	And this is Elon Musk's brother.
	And of course, Elon Musk has put out We need to have the drones patrolling the border, right?
	And it's not just Musk, but it's also other Peter Thiel, Palantir, connected companies like Androil.
	They want to put high-tech stuff at the border and control it.
	And I guess maybe what they've got to do is get rid of all the other drones that are out there.
	It's all part of the perspective of shutting everybody down.
	And when we look at the...
	Here's Musk talking about putting the drones up.
	He tweets this out.
	Elon Musk daily.
	And retweeted, Would you support Trump putting me in charge of designing a high-tech border wall?
	Type of thing.
	And...
	Just remember that Elon Musk is first and foremost a military-industrial contractor.
	That's the key thing.
	Well, we're nearly out of time, but I just wanted to wish all of you, as we close the program, I want to wish all of you a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
	We'll see you, though, next year before the end of the new year.
	And I just want to thank all of you for being such a blessing to our family.
	And just please look for the real blessing in Christmas.
	Look for Christ this year.
	Thank you.
	Have a Merry Christmas.
	I wish I had the Christmas night album.
