	In a world of deceit.
	Telling the truth is a revolutionary act.
	It's the David Knight Show.
	It's Friday the 10th of January, year of our Lord 2025.
	Well today we're going to take a look with some follow-up information about the fire and About the agenda, this is uninhabitable now, say many of the people who are looking at this.
	So I think we know where this is headed, as we've seen in so many other ways.
	Can't rebuild, sorry, we've got new regulations, new codes, and this area is just too disastrous.
	We can't do anything to help you.
	We're going to begin, though, by talking about politics, the money behind it, the agenda behind this.
	Trump is getting a record amount.
	For the inauguration.
	And you've got a lot of companies that are contributing at the Pfizer level.
	That's Big Tech who's caught on pretty quickly to this game.
	But we'll also take a look at what the impact of the tariffs are going to be.
	And the alleged 100 executive orders that Trump is going to be doing right away.
	He's had a conference telling Republicans about that.
	We'll be right back.
	Well, we had a lot of, well, well, pretty much all of the surviving presidents were at the funeral for Jimmy Carter.
	You had Bush, you had Trump and Obama, the Clintons were both there.
	Actually, Michelle Obama did not show up.
	How about that?
	Even Melania came.
	And then Mike Pence was seated right behind Trump, and Lala Harris was right in front of him.
	And it was kind of interesting to watch how chummy Trump and Obama got.
	Look at this.
	He's really talking his ear off.
	And Obama really likes it.
	This is like when he was talking to Jeffrey Epstein.
	I mean, it's that kind of level.
	It's like, yeah, this is whispering in his ear and the other guy laughing like that.
	Except now it's Obama instead of Jeffrey Epstein.
	Yeah, it's just one big club, isn't it?
	As a matter of fact, Babylon Bee said, Mourners at Jimmy Carter's funeral placed the flowers on Biden by mistake.
	It's hard to tell anymore.
	But Trump previewed his 100 executive orders.
	We don't have too much information about it.
	But he got the Republicans in Congress together, actually the Senate, Senate Republicans on Wednesday.
	Axios broke the story.
	They said senators were given previews that some of what they were told would be 100 executive orders.
	Is that a good way to govern?
	You know, when we look at the governing style of Trump, for example, bullying, insults everywhere, even abroad, this is one of the things that's making Jimmy Carter look good, even though he was a horrible president.
	As a matter of fact, you know, I talked about, it was this Playboy interview that nearly sunk him.
	Maybe it did.
	I don't know if it was the first time he ran or the second time he ran.
	But it was that interview where he said, hey, Jesus said if you look at a woman to lust after her, you've committed adultery in your heart.
	I've done that many times, so I'm not going to blame somebody who leaves their wife and goes and lives in adultery.
	This is the kind of mindset, because Jesus also said, if you get angry with somebody, you've committed murder in your heart.
	So this is the kind of attitude that says, well, hey, you know, I really don't like this school, so I guess I should just go ahead and get a gun and shoot the place up, because I've already committed murder in my heart, so let's just do it for real, right?
	What kind of a Sunday school teacher is he?
	But this last week, we also had another death.
	We had Peter Yarrow of Peter, Paul, and Mary, who died.
	He sexually assaulted, and was found guilty and admitted it, a 14-year-old girl.
	Yeah, that kind of destroys music for you, doesn't it?
	Yeah, as a matter of fact, as a kid, I didn't realize that Puff the Magic Dragon was about pot, but it kind of made sense when I realized this guy was a child molesting pedophile.
	You know, Puff the Magic Dragon, Little Johnny Paper, loved that dragon, Puff.
	But who knows?
	I didn't look it up to see if they admitted that or if that was just what people thought.
	But I don't know.
	I was on the young side at that point in time.
	So don't write me if I got it wrong.
	Maybe I got it wrong.
	Maybe.
	A lot of people have said that.
	Maybe they said, no, we didn't have that in mind at all.
	But anyway, it was Jimmy Carter who gave him a full pardon.
	Jimmy Carter pardoned pedophiles.
	He pardoned adulterers in his Sunday school and the rest of this stuff.
	But, you know, it makes Jimmy Carter look great when Donald Trump starts to bully and insult everybody.
	That's the way he operates.
	That's the way he operates within the Republican Party.
	That's the way he operates in America.
	That's the way he operates with the media.
	And you've got FIRE, this organization that protects the free speech on universities, and they are going to defend this Iowa pollster that Trump wants to sue because she got a poll wrong.
	Now, she was pretty wrong, and it was an outlier, but there were a lot of people who were wrong, especially in 2016. Pretty much all the pollsters were surprised.
	Nate Silver was...
	Had a pretty good reputation.
	He got everything wrong in 2016. And so, you know, but don't you dare get anything wrong.
	As a matter of fact, Kayleigh McEnany, who used to be, was it his press secretary or something, when she was on Fox, she read poll results wrong.
	Read them and it was down by a couple of points from what it really was.
	And he had a fit, a temper tantrum on social media.
	And he has set a lot of very dangerous precedents in his first term in terms of executive orders.
	You know, whether it's the Second Amendment or whether it's the pandemic lockdown stuff and Operation Warp Speed and the way that he got that through in terms of bribing everybody in the world from Government officials and governors and public health officials all the way down to bribing people to essentially go along with the diagnosis and don't challenge it and we'll give you money for the funeral if your loved one died in a hospital with a diagnosis of
	COVID so that they could get a 20% bonus on everything they did and a cash payment of $13,000 just for saying that they had COVID. Who are the relatives of the person who died that got something like $4,000?
	Of course, the hospitals could also get a $39,000 bonus to put you on a ventilator, which in most cases killed people.
	About 90% of the time that would kill people.
	He paid hospitals to kill people.
	Don't ever forget that.
	This hero.
	Yeah, make amnesia great again.
	That's what MAGA is really about.
	Oh, forget about all that.
	Who cares?
	That's so four years ago, said Tim Pool and Laura Loomer.
	Yeah, we got your number two.
	Anyway, so now he's got a hundred executive orders.
	Now, conservatives would be freaking out and rightfully so if this is going to be done by Biden or by Lala Harris or by Obama.
	Do you really want to be ruled by presidential executive order?
	Are we going to elect a new dictator every four years?
	Because Congress is too busy having dog-and-pony show trials to do anything, and they kick the stuff over to the bureaucracy, they're perfectly fine to let the President do it as well.
	Because all the bureaucracy is under the President.
	So, Senators are given previews of some of what they were told would be 100 executive orders, said two sources to Axios.
	Stephen Miller...
	Dove in how they plan to use executive power to address the border and immigration starting day one.
	Unclear if all will be technical executive orders or, more broadly, executive actions taken by Trump or by federal agencies.
	Distinction without a difference.
	Reinstating Title 42. This was the pandemic-era public health policy.
	You know, the only time that he closed the border in his first four years was for COVID. They deported people for COVID. Didn't deport people for anything else.
	There were millions of Title 42 expulsions from early in COVID pandemic until Biden ended the policy in 2023. But his secret weapon for mass deportation, according to the Gold Report, is going to be e-verify.
	It's really sad to see that the Gold Report is championing this.
	Look at this.
	Scroll that up and let people see what that article looks like.
	The full graphic there.
	Scroll down a little bit further where it says this organization does.
	Oh, it doesn't display the same way on yours.
	On mine, it looks like it's a sign that somebody puts up and it looks like Burger King sign.
	It's got like a rounded burger bun at the top and at the bottom.
	And the meat of it is it says this organization participates in New Verify.
	So I guess it is something that they have put out for people to put up to threaten people, that we should all have a digital ID that will be verified by Homeland Security before we can get a job.
	Is that the kind of society that you want to live in?
	And it's the Republicans who are pushing this, just like it's the Republicans who are pushing online digital ID because, hey, we can't...
	Parents are just helpless to protect their kids.
	You know, we've got to give them phones and computers and 24-7 access to it, so government's going to have to do the parenting here.
	And that means that all of us are going to have to have digital ID to get on the internet eventually because of that, or digital ID in order to travel, which they want to put in, or to have a job, and on and on and on.
	The only thing that you should have, the only thing that government should be IDing you for, in my opinion.
	If you're going to vote.
	If you don't want to vote, there should be no digital IDs or any other IDs either.
	You want to participate in that system?
	Fine.
	Have somebody ID you.
	But voting is not mandatory yet.
	It is in a lot of totalitarian societies, and that's where we're headed.
	So maybe they will make voting mandatory.
	That'd be the only time that they would put an ID in with it.
	But you think this is going to work?
	You think this is going to stop illegal immigration?
	Absolutely not.
	First of all, if everybody that was coming here was coming here because they wanted a job, and that's not the case, as we know, right?
	If everybody was coming here because they wanted a job, it's not going to stop the black market in jobs, for example, any more than 50-plus years.
	What is it now?
	54, I think.
	Wasn't it 1971, I think, when they did the war on drugs?
	Now, we're coming up to 54 years of war on drugs.
	Has it stopped drugs?
	Has it stopped drug use?
	That's not the only black market that's out there.
	You're going to have a black market in jobs, and this is not going to stop it.
	What it will do is it will harass people, kind of like you're talking about the war on drugs when you go in and get, I remember having to go in and get some cough medicine or something like that.
	Boy, they really, oh yeah, what are you going to do with this cough medicine?
	Can you hear me talk?
	But I think I need it for a cough and a cough.
	No, they want to scrutinize you in all these different ways.
	Get your ID and report it to the DEA and all the rest of this kind of stuff.
	It's just going to harass people that are legitimately using things.
	And this is going to harass Americans who want a job.
	And it's not going to affect somebody who wants to get a job illegally.
	And it certainly isn't going to affect the people who want to come here because they're involved in criminal enterprises or because they want to be involved in the criminal enterprise of welfare.
	You know, why are we giving it?
	Again, I always talk about the welfare magnet.
	But listen to this.
	This is from the Center for Immigration Studies.
	If you aren't for E-Verify, you aren't serious about controlling immigration, they said.
	They consider universal e-verifying, it's not universal, it's mandated.
	Mandated.
	That's what they're talking about.
	Mandated e-verifying to be a basic tenet, they said, for any robust immigration policy.
	We can't control the border without it.
	You must weaken the jobs magnet attracting people.
	No.
	You've got to weaken the welfare magnet.
	Nowhere in any of this is welfare a part of the equation.
	Look, if everybody was coming for jobs, and I understand it's the same situation that we have with the H-1B visa thing.
	Now, there's an aspect of that that is predatory by the corporations and the other individuals who are coming here.
	But this is not even the welfare magnet is a thing that they could stop.
	Why are they continuing to pay people to come here on the one hand, and then telling us that if we want a job, So they pay foreigners to come here and live on welfare.
	And they get superior welfare to Americans who are on welfare.
	And then they tell Americans that if you want a job, well, you're going to have to get a digital ID and get permission from Homeland Security.
	I noticed this when we started a business.
	Everybody talking about how welfare is a right.
	Welfare is a right.
	I heard it all the time.
	And then it's like, oh, you want to start a business?
	Better get a privilege license.
	I said, oh, okay, so if I want to work, if I want to start a business, I've got to get government's permission, a privileged license, and pay for it, too.
	But, you know, welfare is a right.
	And so here they say, well, we've got to stop this.
	We've got this jobs magnet that's bringing people in.
	Well, that's the H-1B visa thing, and that's the big corporations as well.
	That's a different story than this.
	He verifies a federal service created 28 years ago employers can use to confirm employees' eligibility to work in the U.S. through the Department of Homeland Security.
	And then they try to legitimize it by saying, well, it goes back to Reagan's 1986 amnesty law.
	Well, I don't know, but I think 1986 was further back than 28 years.
	Let's see.
	Let's do the math.
	Yeah, I think that's right.
	That was 39 years ago, not 28 years ago.
	And we didn't have a homeland security when Reagan was there.
	And what happened with the amnesty law?
	They said, well, we're going to give citizenship to the people who are here.
	And fewer than half of them even wanted it.
	They don't want liberty.
	They don't want to be American citizens.
	They just want what they can get financially.
	They say restoring honor.
	This is this article.
	It truly is amazing.
	I was surprised.
	This is the gold report.
	Restoring America's honor and independence requires freeing her from millions of non-violent illegal immigrants who have lived here for years within our borders in violation of the law.
	And it means that you should have to cower and prove who you are to the government.
	I tell you, my mom didn't even have a birth certificate.
	I've told this story before.
	She went in to get her marriage license.
	It's like as if you should have to get a license to get married.
	Why do we even allow the government?
	The government doesn't know what marriage is.
	They've proven that all the way up to the Supreme Court.
	So why would we let them define it?
	Why would we let them license it?
	They should have no jurisdiction in that whatsoever.
	That's between you and your spouse and God.
	Get them out of it.
	Anyway.
	She went in to get her marriage license, and they wanted to have a birth certificate.
	And so that's why she took her dad in with it.
	And he said, my grandfather.
	And he said, she was born at home.
	And the bureaucrat said, well, how can I know that?
	He said, because I just told you.
	Are you calling me a liar?
	Now she backed down, you know, a hundred years ago.
	The bureaucracy has gotten a lot more bold in the last century, hasn't it?
	Some 75% of illegal migrant population in the United States is in the labor force.
	And E-Verify can fix that.
	Okay, well, let's think about that.
	That means that 25% of the illegal population is not in the labor force.
	They're on welfare.
	So why don't you get rid of 25% just like that by telling them, go home.
	We're not going to pay for you anymore.
	And we're not going to give you superior benefits to Americans who are on the welfare system either.
	I don't support the welfare system.
	I don't support the welfare state in any way, shape, or form.
	But if you're going to have it, it's amazing to have what an outrage it is that you would give.
	This is the Cloward and Piven stuff we talk about all the time, but anybody can see it.
	You don't need a couple of Democrat economists to spell it out for you.
	You can see what an outrage it is.
	25% of them don't have a job.
	Totally on welfare.
	And of the other 75%.
	How many of them are also on welfare?
	It doesn't mean just because they're taking a job that they're not getting welfare or government subsidies of some sort.
	Fix the welfare magnet.
	That's another thing.
	If you're going to have a welfare state and people are going to be on welfare state, the people who are going to do that, I think it's perfectly legitimate to ID them up one side and down the other.
	But this is all about enslaving us.
	With a digital ID. For his part, Trump was soft on E-Verify, says this article, during his first term because he thought that it was too onerous for employers.
	That's not entirely wrong.
	Plenty of companies fall for fake employee documents that would meet E-Verify's requirements.
	Warren's Ken Cuccinelli, who served as Trump's Director of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, fixing that would require an additional layer of scrutiny.
	From both companies and homeless security officials.
	So, did those employers get penalties if somebody used a fake employee document to get a job with them?
	And, again, what about, you know, Trump is all about the employers.
	Does he care about treating us like slaves?
	And numbering us like inventory?
	No, that's okay.
	It's just, what's it going to do to the employers?
	Because they're the ones, I guess, who give him money.
	It was Trump's 2024 primary opponent, Ron DeSantis.
	Here we go.
	Here's Ron DeSantis again.
	You know, his censorship laws, his hate speech laws, his mandatory e-verify laws.
	That's why I could never get behind him.
	And he's been such a weak, limited hangout on all this vaccine stuff.
	Again, it's more than anybody else has done.
	I've talked about that as well.
	But when he says, well, we're going to...
	Latipo says it's got all this garbage in it, DNA garbage and other things like that, so we need to look at that.
	But I'm going to send it over to a grand jury to make this determination.
	It's like, hey, pal, you're the governor.
	You talk about passing the buck over here, right?
	That's what that was about.
	And it's just, you know, he's using them as a beard.
	He's still not going to do anything about it.
	You verify?
	It was part of DeSantis' own legislative docket, setting the tone for national Republican immigration agenda in the future, as he did with censorship for Israel and hate crimes, persecution.
	Poll after poll shows unprecedented support for sealing the border.
	That's really scary.
	And not that I want an open border, but again, there are ways...
	Things that could be done, and they've driven everybody into panic and fear mode.
	Nothing good is going to come out of this.
	Instead, what people are going to be doing is cheerleading.
	As you see this article, this is a conservative outlet, very pro-Trump, now very pro-Orwellian surveillance police state.
	So, this is where we're headed.
	You panic people about a problem, and you...
	Go for the globalist solution.
	Brian Shulhavi.
	Trump prepares his second war against the American people by invoking the emergency powers to destroy the economy through tariffs, the economic side of this.
	His first presidency, he invoked the PREP Act to release trillions of dollars to fund the largest military campaign in U.S. history, the War Against the Unseen Enemy, Operation Warp Speed.
	And in that, it was actually, as I've said, I agree with Brian, I've said it many times myself, there was a war against the American people.
	He funded and released a bioweapon, a global war, not just in America.
	And, of course, it was a war against the businesses and jobs that were non-essential because they were not part of the big box retailers whose stock is on Wall Street.
	Giving billions of dollars to pharmaceutical companies to rush untested vaccines that resulted in millions of Americans being killed, injured, and crippled for life.
	We still don't have the numbers because the program is still going.
	And there's not any Republicans or Democrats who want to stop it.
	None of them who want to tell the truth because they've got blood on their hands.
	It's going to take a generation or more for that stuff to come out, but the truth will eventually come out.
	Many small businesses were destroyed as a result, but the economy was temporarily saved from a total collapse with the infusion of trillions of dollars with the CARES Act.
	And again, there was three of these episodes.
	Two of them happened under Trump in that one year.
	And then Biden did another one.
	And that set us on a completely different trajectory of bankruptcy nationally.
	Trump is preparing to declare a national economic emergency now to provide legal justification.
	To implement across-the-board tariffs on goods imported into the United States.
	He's perhaps going to be doing this by executive order.
	Congress is so absolutely and totally useless, isn't it?
	Trump is considering a National Economic Emergency Declaration to allow for a new tariff program.
	Trump is considering the emergency to provide legal justification for a large swath of universal tariffs.
	On allies and adversaries.
	Four sources familiar with this told CNN. The declaration would allow Trump to construct a new tariff program by using the International Economic Emergency Powers Act, known as the IEPA, I-E-E-P-A, which unilaterally authorizes a president to manage imports during a national emergency.
	So again, if he, you know...
	Do we have an economic emergency going on right now?
	Did we have a health emergency that was going on when he declared an emergency in 2020?
	Well, no.
	You don't have to have an emergency.
	Did Trudeau need to have a real emergency when he invoked the Emergency Act?
	That had only been invoked by his father.
	Nobody else had done it.
	No, it wasn't an actual emergency.
	People were peacefully protesting.
	His authoritarian and totalitarian and illegal actions that he openly said were in violation of the Charter.
	He didn't care.
	But he declared an emergency.
	It's interesting how much alike they are.
	Trump, one of the sources noted, has a fondness for this law since it grants wide-ranging jurisdiction over how tariffs are implemented without strict requirements to prove the tariffs are needed on a national security ground.
	So that's to say, again, it was Trudeau who said, well, this is a violation of national security because I am the nation.
	And I'm not feeling very secure when all these people come here.
	They're not happy with what I'm doing.
	And, you know, when you look at fondness, I played in that mashup that I put together, Trudeau saying, you know, well, apart from Canada, the...
	He was asked, apart from Canada, what nation do you most admire?
	Well, I like the Chinese communists because they can just do whatever they want, right?
	They can just dictate this or that, and that allows them to protect the environment.
	You know, like by building two coal power plants per week.
	The whole thing is such a fraud.
	Such a fraud.
	By their own measures, it's a fraud.
	But, yeah, he liked that.
	And Trump loves executive orders, too.
	Trump and Trudeau love executive orders.
	Trump and Trudeau love emergencies.
	I've said for the longest time, we're supposed to believe that they're polar opposites of each other.
	And Trudeau was awful.
	And so has Trump.
	And they're doing the same thing.
	It doesn't matter.
	It doesn't matter because they're all serving the globalist agenda.
	The World Economic Forum agenda, the UN agenda, the climate agenda, all of these global things.
	Digital ID stuff, that's part of the agenda as well.
	Like dictators, he's also talking about taking new territory everywhere as well.
	He needs that living space at Liebestrom or whatever it was, you know, that Hitler talked about.
	Yeah, we're going into Austria.
	We need to have some room to stretch out.
	You know, we're going to go into Greenland or whatever.
	I really, you know, and the whole thing about Canada, there's absolutely no way that Trump is going to invade Canada.
	There's absolutely no way that they're going to voluntarily join, and there's no way that we want them to join, because even in the most conservative areas like Alberta, look at what they did, the politicians did there.
	I know the people there don't support that, but Canada is probably to the left of California, not on the map, but politically.
	They'd be out in the ocean if they were, but You know, again, why is he doing that?
	I think that is to distract people away from this campaign to take Greenland.
	I think he might use military force against Panama.
	I wouldn't put it past him.
	I don't support that at all.
	I didn't support it when George H.W. Bush did it either.
	Anyway, all of this talk, though, about taking territory.
	Wall Street and others, myself included, says Brian Shalhavi at Health Impact News, did not believe that Trump would be crazy enough to actually do something like this, to willingly and purposely destroy the U.S. economy with tariffs.
	He figured that it was all just campaign rhetoric.
	And he would kind of back back and say, well, you know, hey, if they do what I say, then we won't put those tariffs on them.
	But, you know.
	On Monday this week, on January the 6th, a Washington Post article came out.
	To the same conclusion, stating that the tariffs would not be across the board and that they would not be applying to every single item that is imported into the U.S., but that there would instead be targeted tariffs in some industries.
	But Trump was very quick to deny this, calling it fake news, and that he was indeed planning to implement across-the-board tariffs on all goods imported into the United States.
	Reuters has a story that Trump on Monday denied a newspaper report that his aides were exploring tariff plans that would only cover critical imports, deepening uncertainty among business leaders about the future U.S. trade policies.
	We have Gerald Slenty who will be joining us today.
	I'm interested to see what he thinks is going to happen with a trade war.
	And with gold, and of course with war, and all the rest of it.
	We've got a lot of things.
	We haven't talked to him since the new year, and he's put up on his trends journal.
	He's got his trends that he's identified for the coming year, so he's going to be joining us in the last hour today.
	The story of the Washington Post, said Trump, quoting so-called anonymous sources, which don't exist, incorrectly states that my tariff policy will be pared back.
	That is wrong.
	The Washington Post knows it's wrong.
	It's just another example of fake news, he said.
	So it also occurs at the same time that Trump is now threatening to use the U.S. military to invade and take over other countries for national security purposes.
	So, fundamentally, though, like his emergency that wasn't an emergency, the COVID thing, and the actions that he took, this is a war against the American people and a war against small businesses.
	Brian Shulhavi writes, most Americans, especially the MAGA crowd, have no idea what is about to happen to the U.S. economy and how radically their lives are about to change in an unhinged Trump second term as a lame duck president who does not have to worry about being re-elected anymore.
	And I've said this multiple times on this program.
	I said, either way, this last four years is the tail end of the fourth turning.
	And guess what?
	If it's, and this is before Lala got in even, I was talking about it.
	I said, whether it's Biden or Trump, it's their second term.
	And I said, I have yet to know in my long life any president who didn't get much, much worse in their second term, knowing that they didn't have to run for re-election.
	And so I've been concerned about this as well.
	Goods at stores like Walmart.
	We'll see drastic price increases, as most all their goods are imported from China, where Trump is threatening a 60% tariff, which could cause most products to double in price.
	And again, what we're seeing out of China is that, in many regards, it is a Potemkin economy.
	They do have a monopoly on manufacturing, and Trump is not going to address that issue.
	See, tariffs aren't the issue.
	Just like, you know, when you look at, well, we've got to have everybody have E-Verify.
	Stop paying people to come live off of welfare.
	And in terms of competition from China, they will have an unbreakable monopoly on this and everything else if we ban our energy use while we allow them to produce the cheapest, dirtiest energy possible.
	And yet Trump is not going to do anything.
	I wonder, do you think that on his executive order list there's going to be anything about getting into the Paris Climate Accord?
	Trump pretended that we were in it last time.
	It was never ratified by the Senate.
	Mitch McConnell pretended that we were in it.
	All the Democrats pretended we were in it.
	All the Republicans pretended that we were in it.
	And folks, that, more than anything else, I know a lot of people are looking at this, look, it's the New World Order, it's Region 1, and all the rest of this stuff.
	Again, I don't think Canada is going to be pulled in as part of that, as a unified political entity.
	Far more damning than any of that stuff is this Paris Climate Accord.
	That means that we'll never be able to compete with China on energy.
	And it means that you won't have energy that you can afford to heat your home, to cook your food, to do all this other kind of stuff.
	It is going to eviscerate this economy even worse than the tariffs, the Paris Climate Accord.
	But it's going to do the tariffs and leave the Paris Climate Accord in.
	So, things are going to double in price.
	You know, Trump is an agent of chaos.
	An agent of disruption.
	An agent on the inside.
	Remember Fauci?
	How do you get everybody to take an untested vaccine worldwide?
	It's completely different.
	Well, you do it with chaos and disruption.
	You do it from the inside.
	And you do it iteratively.
	Well, I think we're about to get a sudden shock.
	And the iterative aspect has been going on now for four years, really.
	It goes back to Trump in 2020, then it goes through the Biden administration, and now they're going to hand it back to Trump for some more disruption and chaos.
	It'll make products, at a minimum, more expensive for consumers.
	Unlike what Trump says, these tariffs will get passed on.
	They don't get swallowed in whole by the manufacturer.
	No.
	Nobody can afford to swallow the taxes.
	It's another tax, like a corporate tax.
	That is, passed on in higher prices to consumers.
	A while back, Trump criticized GE for selling a supply unit to the Chinese, saying, we don't make those things here anymore.
	We should make them in the United States.
	Again, he's fighting the wrong enemy if he wants to get manufacturing back here.
	First thing we need to do is make sure that there's no restrictions on cheap, available energy.
	To bring manufacturing back, you've got to bring coal.
	It's the cheapest that's out there.
	And we have an abundant supply of it that the Chinese don't have.
	So that's what we're not allowed to use.
	They're allowed to use their minerals and resources and get other minerals.
	But whatever we're rich in, that's got to be banned.
	That's why they're coming after coal.
	Well...
	One of our think tank colleagues here in Washington did a paper and said, you want a toaster that's made in America?
	It'll cost you $300.
	And it's going to become unobtainable with Paris left in.
	He doesn't need any kind of special or dubious...
	He needs to call out the BS about the Paris Climate Accord.
	Where did they get the special powers to put this in?
	Jonathan Turley had an article saying, well, you know, Trump is going to oppose them.
	Biden is trying to ban some stuff and keep some stuff offline and everything, trying to outsmart Trump, and Trump needs to sue him right away.
	And it's like, where do we get this idea that Democrat executive orders are permanent, But Republicans have to beg the permission of the court system to overturn it with their own executive order.
	How does that work?
	Why is a lawyer like Jonathan Turley promulgating that?
	I talked about that in Trump's first term.
	He pretended that, well, yeah, they just self-ratified the Paris Climate Accord.
	And we got DACA, which they said, well, we're not going to enforce the law.
	That's our executive order.
	We're not going to enforce the law.
	Well, I can't do anything about that.
	I'll have to ask the Supreme Court.
	The Supreme Court says, no, you can't.
	You can't overturn DACA. And so now Biden is doing the same thing.
	He's putting in a bunch of last-minute executive orders, and they're going to pretend that Trump can't overturn them.
	Do you understand what's going on here?
	Do you understand it's the Uni Party working here?
	They're just bluffing you?
	Trump's not that stupid.
	Neither is Jonathan Turley.
	Come on.
	An executive order by Democrats moving us in the direction that everybody wants us to go in the Uni Party, and it can't be overturned by Trump when he gets in?
	Come on.
	Consider, this is Charles Hughes, Smith.
	Charles Hugh Smith said, consider the supposedly low-tech kitchen counter toaster.
	They're cheap, so they've got to be easy to make, right?
	Wrong.
	They're impossible to make without a highly sophisticated industrial supply chain, which is being destroyed, by the way, by all these green agenda things.
	He says, Thomas Thwaites attempted to make a toaster from scratch, and he found that it was impossible to do so.
	He described the experience in his book.
	The Toaster Project, or an heroic attempt to build a simple electric appliance from scratch.
	Well, yes, that's true.
	But it's also true that if you've got freedom in free markets, and you don't have somebody putting a millstone around your neck when it comes to energy and other things like that, go back to look at Leonard Reed's iPencil.
	You know, how do you get that done?
	Well, you bring in parts and things from all over the world, and you build this thing.
	And you've got a lot of people who are making materials other places, and finally somebody decides, well, I'm going to bring all these different materials, you know, rubber from South America or wherever it is, and, you know, this graphite from another place, and wood from the Pacific Northwest.
	I'm going to make a pencil out of this thing.
	You can do that.
	You need to have freedom to do that.
	And you need to have to manufacture anything if you're going to be able to sell it.
	You can't pay four or five times what China does in energy.
	As a matter of fact, it's worse than that.
	We are paying a lot more than China does for electricity.
	And, you know, the solar panels that everybody feels so good about and virtue signals about, that's made with coal.
	Energy from coal.
	Burning coal.
	They burn coal to make solar panels, and then we buy the expensive solar panels so we can feel good about it.
	But, you know, if you're going to have that as the cost basis for manufacturing stuff, and look, manufacturing is going to become ever more energy intensive the more they automate it.
	If you get rid of human labor...
	And to the extent that they continue to get rid of human labor and put in robots, well, guess what?
	It's going to be impossibly expensive.
	And so we pay a lot more than China does, and the UK that has jumped into this Paris Accord and everything, their energy prices are like four to five times what our energy prices are.
	They can't compete with us, and they certainly can't compete with China.
	Same thing with Germany.
	They're not going to be able to sell cars into China.
	They're not going to be able to sell cars in Europe because they are going down this path.
	So take a look at the food in your kitchen that you buy every week at the grocery store, says Brian Chalhavi.
	This would include a lot of meats that are imported from Canada, China, Australia, as well as food that is not produced in the U.S. and cannot be produced in the U.S. Things like bananas, coffee, tea, chocolate, most popular fruits, coconut oil, which he goes to great lengths to find coconut oil that is...
	Natural, organic, not GMO, doesn't have glyphosate and all the rest of the stuff.
	He sells natural grains and things.
	In most of this article, he talks about how difficult it's becoming for him to find this stuff, to find non-GMO corn.
	He used to get it from Mexico, but now, under the USMCA, they just told Mexico that, no, you're going to have to grow GMO corn.
	Why?
	Well, because, you know, Monsanto, once you do a bear, now owns them.
	Even with many foods that are produced in the U.S., without imports, the demands for those foods will greatly increase.
	So they'll have a shortage of them, and it'll drive up prices.
	As the U.S. currently imports about $200 billion worth of food per year.
	Many of the products have been contaminated, with the crops growing in the U.S., have been contaminated due to commercial agriculture, to the proliferation of GMO. And with crops that are contaminated with glyphosate, the largest toxic herbicide in the world.
	China, in general, does not import corn from the U.S. anymore due to the contamination of U.S. GMO corn.
	Most of their import of corn has now switched to Brazil.
	And he says, in my own company, Healthy Traditions, we have tried to source U.S. corn not contaminated with genetically modified DNA for 10 years now, unsuccessfully.
	But now his source in Mexico is going to disappear because we put together these trade agreements.
	And that was the other thing.
	Trump's USMCA. It was just a rebranded, worse version of what it replaced, NAFTA. And these things are treaties.
	And they have the lawyers who do the arbitration.
	They're treaty lawyers.
	But they did this with a three-member dispute resolution panel.
	They do it through arbitration.
	And the U.S. Trade Representative's Office said that the panel ruled in favor of all seven U.S. legal claims to say that Mexico cannot stop GMO corn.
	As a matter of fact, they've got to grow it themselves.
	How do you like that?
	That's NAFTA. That's the USMCA doing that.
	Mexico has been importing GMO corn from the U.S. for years, mining about $3 billion worth of it annually.
	That is used to feed livestock.
	USDA notes that more than 90% of corn in the U.S. is produced using genetically engineered varieties.
	While genetically modified organisms remain a part of the debate, the widely used but controversial herbicide Roundup, glyphosate, It's classified as a probable carcinogen by the World Health Organization, and it permeates our food supply.
	So the U.S. trade reps held last week's ruling, stating that it upheld USMCA principles and protected big agriculture.
	They like to say U.S. farmers.
	But anyway, this is where this is going to head.
	And the rest of his article is all about the different things, you know, trying to get corn, grains, honey, all these different things, and how difficult it's.
	Coconut oil.
	How difficult it is to try to get stuff that is not contaminated.
	So, we're going to take a quick break, and when we come back, we're going to talk about the contamination of money.
	Money and politics.
	Yeah, and Nancy Pelosi had a great year.
	She's doing better than the stock market averages.
	She's doing better than Warren Buffett.
	She's a genius when it comes to this stuff.
	Makes you wonder why she even bothers with politics.
	Oh, wait.
	It's inside training.
	We're going to take a break, but before we do, we've got a lot of comments here.
	KWD, these are from yesterday.
	Has David ever had a mascot like Guard Goldsmith's cat?
	No.
	As a matter of fact, we've got a couple of dogs, but...
	If we were to put them in here, they would be kind of like bulls in a china shop with all the cords that we've got and the cameras that we've got in different places.
	And you wouldn't be able to see them either unless they were to hop up on the table or something.
	Scout used to do that kind of stuff, but he's gotten old.
	It's hard for him to even get in a chair anymore.
	And I do let him get in a chair.
	I've let him...
	Ruin a couple of chairs, because I'd rather have him around than to have the chair, quite frankly.
	But we don't have any way to set them up here.
	I guess we could get him a chair.
	Maybe he would set up in it.
	But he usually just lies down in the chair now.
	So he's starting to slow down.
	Brandon's Revenge said, David wears a tie.
	That's his mascot.
	Mascot, ascot, same difference, he says.
	KWD68 says, Carter taught Sunday school for decades, but he had the song Imagine at His Funeral.
	Imagine There's No Heaven.
	He'd also like to imagine there's no hell.
	That is, I did not know that he played Imagine at His Funeral.
	Well, he was one of the first politicians to support LGBT stuff and all the rest of this.
	I mean, there is just this...
	Vast gulf between his professed Christianity and what you see in his life.
	Makes you wonder about these churches, doesn't it?
	Syrian girl, so Trump admits that a second term is going to be a dictatorship.
	Yeah, like the first one.
	Brian Taylor, how is our government in any way limited when the president can issue executive orders on anything he wants?
	And everybody pretends that, except for the Supreme Court, You've got to make sure.
	There's two levels of executive orders.
	There's Republican executive orders and there's Democrat executive orders, according to Trump.
	Carlos Rex, thank you very much for the tip.
	I appreciate that.
	He says, good morning to all nights of the storm.
	Always glad to see all the same people and the same faces in all the same places.
	It is good, isn't it?
	Have a great community here.
	Grammy for God.
	DeSantis just made the halo law, too.
	People can't record first responders within 25 feet.
	Yeah.
	So much for free speech and recording in public and catching Leos violating law enforcement officers.
	Yeah.
	Violating our freedom.
	That was just uppercase L that took me a second to grab that.
	Look, again, it's everything about us must be exposed to them.
	Our speech, our thoughts, our actions.
	We should be videotaped everywhere we go.
	But never, never are we to know anything about what government does.
	Even when they're doing things in public.
	We're not allowed to do that.
	You know, things like this.
	This is a guy skateboarding.
	Look, I've got a couple of crossing guards here.
	We're not doing this.
	We're not doing this.
	You know, two tough women on bicycles.
	Oh, they just took off his backpack.
	They're going to handcuff him.
	We tell you to stop.
	You stop.
	That's called instruction, everybody.
	Learn.
	Learn.
	It's flash when you don't stop.
	You learn!
	Yeah.
	Jaywalking.
	Jaywalking.
	Yeah.
	We're going to grab this guy, handcuff him.
	If they weren't any stronger, they could throw him on the ground, but I told you that I was recruited into libertarianism when I was in second grade by a crossing guard.
	Female, as a matter of fact.
	She had that...
	That orange sash.
	And I had to do everything she had to say.
	It's like, I know how to cross the street without you.
	There's no car coming.
	I'm going, whoa, whoa, whoa.
	So, yeah.
	She didn't handcuff me, but, you know, again, things change.
	The government's getting worse off of us.
	So now you've got two adult female crossing guards.
	Jaywalking.
	This guy jaywalked.
	Guard Goldsmith.
	Good to see you.
	Liberty Conspiracy on Rockfin and Twitter evenings, weekdays.
	He says the Constitution has not allowed the President to declare national emergencies and therefore anything attached to giving him extra powers during these so-called national emergencies is an absurdity.
	But everybody wants it.
	We all want it.
	Republicans want it.
	Democrats want it.
	Mainstream media wants it really bad.
	The big businesses want it.
	Everybody just looks the other way.
	Nobody cares.
	Nobody cares about the Constitution.
	North American House Hippo, coming soon to the Babylon Bee.
	Deadly L.A. fires leave thousands of pillars of salt in its wake.
	You should be writing their headlines.
	Get out and don't look back from L.A. That's what I say.
	Hollywood and all the rest of that stuff.
	Well, we're going to take a quick break and we'll be right back.
	Thank you.
	And now, The David Knight Show.
	Well, there was a Canadian Burger King, I think it was, had a special, a $2 resignation burger to celebrate the resignation of Trudeau.
	Oh, Dairy Queen.
	Dairy Queen, that's what it was.
	I can't remember.
	King, Queen, I don't know what it is.
	Dairy Queen, Burger King.
	When did they get married?
	I don't know.
	Is there going to be a corporate merger between Dairy Queen and Burger King?
	Anyway, Nancy Pelosi, how do we celebrate when she's gone?
	And of course, she's not going to leave voluntarily.
	They'll be carrying her out feet first, like they do most of these power-hungry people.
	She left temporarily, but she just had to come back.
	She needed that power.
	She had the special insights that she gets from being in Congress.
	Nancy Pelosi's stock portfolio exploded in value, beat the market by nearly 200%.
	Beat the S&P 500 by nearly 200% last year.
	Continuing her streak of outperforming the stock indexes, her portfolio grew by 71%.
	From December 29th, 2024 to December 30th, 2023. So, from just one day.
	No, from 2023 to 2024. Compared to the S&P 500, which went up by 25%, she went up by 71%.
	And she outdid many of the world's oldest and largest hedge funds in 2024 as well.
	Including Citadel, which had $66 billion in assets.
	And also, Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway.
	He had a 27% return on his investments there.
	So he beat the market.
	It was 25%.
	He was 27%, but she was 71%.
	Well, insider trading, is that what Trump is doing?
	Is that what Musk is doing?
	Her portfolio goes up by 71%.
	His entire net worth nearly doubled by dumping $200 million into Trump.
	Because, see, Musk isn't buying stocks.
	He's buying Trump.
	It's a lot more effective to do that.
	It's another kind of insider trading, of course.
	He got on the inside.
	And Trump's inaugural committee is open to everybody.
	He has now taken in a record $170 million.
	Biden, four years ago, raised $62 million for his inaugural committee.
	So this is nearly three times that amount that he's raised, a record.
	And, of course, you've got big tech executives, big donors all jumping in on this.
	And I don't think this even counts things like the $40 million That Jeff Bezos' Amazon threw in to do a last-minute documentary about Melania, Trump's life.
	You know, look at that.
	They did that in just like the last month or so.
	That's got to be one of the worst things ever.
	I mean, it was simply a political payoff that is there.
	I'm getting myself curious that I might actually...
	Look at a couple of minutes of it just to see how bad it is.
	It's got to be absolutely horrible.
	And they just threw this thing together in the spur of the moment.
	And I guess that's what he went down to Mar-a-Lago to talk to them about.
	And I'm sure that Trump loves that because that's another, it's not just to make the Trumps look good, but it's another way to draw Melania back into the public sphere.
	She pretty much was sick and tired of this whole thing.
	Didn't want to have anything to do with it during that.
	But now she's there by his side.
	Because, you know, they're going to make a big deal out of her.
	So that $40 million subsidy there, that's not even included in this inaugural committee thing of $170 million.
	So you can put that in $210 million.
	There you go.
	And then the private donations are typically used to help pay for events surrounding the inauguration.
	And then there's a lot of individual parties where a lot of money is being passed around as well.
	I talked before about the Maha.
	Maha!
	Make America healthy again.
	And you can do that for, what was it, $30,000 a ticket?
	I think they had the gold ticket was like $30,000 and a $10,000 thing.
	And if you want to wait in the cold until after 9 p.m., you can get in for only $500.
	But, of course, it has no special privileges.
	It's probably after everybody has left that you would want to get your autograph from.
	I'm just dying to get an autograph from Donald Trump.
	He's got the goal of my life, I guess.
	Amazon and Meta, the parent company of Facebook and Instagram, last month were each planning to donate a million dollars to Trump's inaugural fund.
	He should have different echelons with names.
	That's the Pfizer level.
	It was Pfizer that gave him, instead of gold and silver, that's so...
	So yesterday, right?
	Listen, I'm a Pfizer-level donor.
	Because, you know, Pfizer was able to put a million dollars in and get tens of billions of dollars.
	Actually, a lot more than that.
	It's more than just their sales.
	Because, you know, the government helped them with the manufacturing.
	The government distributed it for them.
	And most importantly, the government held them harmless for all the people that they intentionally killed.
	MAGA influencers, meanwhile, are being paid to promote Israel, wind farms, and weed legalization, and much more.
	This is a report from Information Liberation.
	Rogan O'Hanley, who goes by the handle DCDrano on Twitter, has over 2 million followers, and he was paid $164,000 to tweet in favor of legalizing marijuana in Florida.
	And that's why he got exposed.
	It was because it had to be registered, I guess, in Florida.
	It was in a Florida report that he's got embedded in the article here.
	And David Freeman, who goes by Gunter Eagleman on Twitter, and has 1.1 million followers, was reportedly paid to share this petition promoting wind energy in Texas.
	I wonder if the windmills are freezing there yet.
	Having some super cold weather there, like they did before.
	And so, yeah, breaking, calling all of my Texan followers.
	Make your voice heard.
	We all remember the huge power outage in 2021 that caused millions to lose power.
	So, you know, we need to do more of that.
	You know, the answer is always more of what failed to work, isn't it?
	One person responded, Rolando Garcia, Gunter Eagleman, how much were you paid to promote this renewable energy wind and solar nonsense?
	Yeah, this is, it is amazing, isn't it?
	You know, you never realize, do you, just how these people are playing you.
	You know, people like Cat Turd and all the rest of them getting big bucks under the table to lie to you.
	And why do you think they're not shadow banned?
	Why do you think...
	These MAGA influencers are promoted by the algorithm.
	What do you think that is?
	He later deleted the post after his pay-to-promote message was called out.
	Rolando Garcia, that I just read that, is a state Republican executive committee member.
	Tony Ortiz says MAGA celebrities and influencers have also recently started doing under-the-table paid Wind energy promotions here in Texas.
	He said, we spoke to one Florida MAGA influencer pushing Texas wind energy who said he's generally paid per signature when promoting petitions.
	A copy of the paid work order, $10 per signature, up to $12,000, is able to be earned.
	Urban legend does ask that influencers include proper disclosures, but it seems that many don't include that in their disclosure.
	Unsurprisingly, Twitter influencers are also being paid to shill for Israel.
	Big bucks there, I guess.
	Tony Ortiz pointed out.
	Influencers are generally provided direct talking points when they are paid to promote.
	Oftentimes, they're even paid to promote foreign country messaging as seen.
	And they've got several different examples of this, them doing that.
	And look, it's just across the board.
	Charlie Kirk.
	It was just in Greenland with Trump Jr. Talking Points USA contributor Morgan Blair McMichael.
	Proud to be quoted in the Wall Street Journal last month saying, quote, the legacy media will continue to fold and bend the knee to us because it's true.
	We are the media.
	They have become what they fought, right?
	Isn't that what we always worry about?
	That you become what you fight.
	Bought and paid for shills.
	That's what most of these people are.
	David Icke's been calling them out.
	I don't even bother anymore with social media.
	It's such a rigged, silly game.
	I don't think I've even posted the show the last couple of days on Twitter.
	I just don't even care.
	Here she is tweeting out those paid promotions, shilling on behalf of Israel without any disclosure.
	She said, I stand with Israel as they fight for their lives and their land.
	Hamas terrorists have invaded and innocent blood is being shed.
	Please sign this petition and show that you support Israel.
	How about you show us the money that you're being paid?
	How about some disclosure there?
	Meet the new media, same as the old media, says Chris Minahan at Information Liberation.
	Kentucky Rep Thomas Massey highlighted the issue of influencers being on the take.
	He said, who are the most rewarded?
	What is that word?
	Neenarded.
	I don't know if that's a word or not.
	Who are the most highly paid influencers on this platform, let's just say.
	Does anyone else compete with cat poop and DC drainage for this title?
	What's funny is nobody pays me to call out your hypocrisy and your anti-Trump obstructionism.
	It's a DC drainage.
	DC Drano is what he is.
	Yeah, I do it all for free.
	You know what?
	Thomas Massey is not a hypocrite.
	These guys are.
	Thomas Massey...
	Thomas Massey got in trouble with Trump land because he didn't want to sign on to the trillions and trillions and trillions of dollars destroying this country.
	Thomas Massey got in trouble with Trump land because he even talked about the deficit.
	He said, shut up.
	You know, you're opposing Trump and you're opposing Mike Johnson who want deficits.
	Deficits are good if they want it.
	They're only bad if you've got Biden who wants it, right?
	That kind of childishness that comes from Cat Turd, that comes from D.C. Drano.
	It's ridiculous.
	Yeah, you do it for free, do you?
	You know what it earns you to be a Trump sycophant.
	Podcasters, influencers, and activists should be encouraged to make money posting on the internet, said D.C. Drano O'Hanley.
	Our entire legacy media ecosystem is hijacked by globalist multi-billion dollar corporations and we're the only truth tellers left.
	Now, when you take their coin, you're going to wind up eventually saying everything they want you to say.
	Just that simple.
	If independent media disappears, so does the Trump movement.
	Well, they're not independent.
	They're beholden to Trump.
	They're beholden to MAGA. And they have to confirm the bias of people in order to make money.
	That's what it's all about.
	The only way for MAGA to make money...
	Is to push legalized weed?
	And to show for Israel?
	Is that right?
	The overwhelming majority of these popular influencers are worse than worthless, says Information Liberation.
	Musk and Trump promote these MAGA targets because they know they come cheap and they won't push back against their plan to flood our country with Indians through mass legal immigration and through other things.
	I mean, that's not the only place of betrayal that's there.
	By the way, Musk is now saying, All this talk that everybody's been saying for the last couple of months, Doge is going to cut $2 trillion?
	I told you that wasn't possible.
	And he says, well, that would be a best-case outcome now.
	A best-case outcome.
	I wonder who that woman shouting with the purple hair is.
	Pulling up the hill and they got some video thing running there in the background.
	He says, if you look in any direction, people are like, well, where will you find places to save money?
	It's like being in a room full of targets, Musk said.
	Well, he can't cut a single dime.
	Musk cannot cut a single dime from the budget.
	All that he can do is make recommendations.
	And we have seen this done over and over again with committee after committee after committee.
	Now, he does have a lot of clout, and he can bring a lot of pressure to bear with Twitter.
	That's why he bought it.
	It was not an altruistic move to say free speech.
	Speech on Twitter is not free.
	Speech on Twitter is bought.
	Elon Musk bought it, and he bought his speech.
	Every time I log on, that's one of the other reasons I don't like to get on there.
	Every time I get on, there's always an Elon Musk thing pushed at me.
	I don't even follow the guy.
	And it's always there at the top.
	And the people that I want to hear from get buried.
	12 June 1776. Yep, all social media influencers all should have to wear their paid sponsors on their links like NASCAR. Absolutely true.
	We're going to take a quick break.
	break.
	We'll be right back.
	We'll be right back.
	We'll be right back.
	They're doing what in the place they named after me?
	Good thing I have The David Knight Show to keep me informed on the plots of these traitors.
	Making sense common again.
	This is The David Knight Show.
	That's right, boys and girls.
	There's a post-election sale on silver and gold.
	Trump euphoria has caused...
	It's time to buy some medals with fiat dollars before they come to their sense.
	Go to davidknight.gold to get in touch with the wise wolf himself, Tony Arterburn.
	He knows where to look to find silver and gold.
	Yark!
	Fiat!
	Yeah, we'll talk a little bit about Fiat coming up, but I want to do some listeners' letters.
	I haven't done this.
	I'm getting behind here.
	I'm trying to catch up.
	I had this from Will with hand-painted miniatures and kits.
	He said, David, just wondering about your opening theme.
	So it seems to have slightly changed.
	I hear some differences, although minimal, in the orchestration.
	Let me know if this is the case, or are my ears deceiving me?
	No, actually, you're absolutely right.
	Keen discernment there.
	Nobody else has mentioned that.
	Of course, the obvious thing is the graphics that are there that we put in.
	But I thought, you know, well, okay, we're going to do some different graphics.
	I hadn't updated that theme since early 2021. So I thought, well, I think I can do better now.
	I've got some better brass that has keener articulations.
	As a matter of fact, the whole reason I did it the way that I did it Was because I couldn't do Liberty Fanfare the way it was written at the very beginning with the trumpets that I had and have it sound real.
	It sounded real synthetic.
	But I've got better trumpets, so I thought, well, let me just change the beginning there.
	I had a little bit better articulation on the timpani that was there as well.
	With a couple of libraries that I'd gotten over the last four years.
	And so I started doing that.
	And then what happens is you tell yourself this is going to be a simple thing.
	And when you go in and you change something like that, it changes everything.
	Because now you've got to remix everything as well.
	Because you bring in different instruments and now you've got to remix it.
	I should have known better.
	I've done this thing before.
	And I thought, I'm going to leave most of it the same.
	I'll just change the brass at the very beginning and just before the very end.
	But then that wound up changing a lot of stuff.
	And, you know, it was the trumpets and the French horns and things like lower brass, you know, trombones and other things that had greater clarity in it.
	And then I changed the strings at the end just a little bit to give them more dynamic range.
	But thanks for asking, Will.
	Yes, that is right.
	And we freshened that up as well.
	Hope it sounds better, because it is different.
	And nobody else had noticed that.
	This is from Greg, who says, FYI, your site on Rumble...
	Has disappeared from the popular list in my Rumble Android app under Following.
	And so he follows different ones, and now my app has disappeared on my show.
	He says, I now have to use the search function to access your channel, even though he was following it.
	Isn't that interesting?
	This is the same kind of stuff that I saw.
	One of the first things that I saw years ago on Twitter was Karen.
	Having her unfollow me.
	They did it at least twice.
	They had me unfollow some other people as well.
	And then they suggested to Karen that she follow occasional cortex, which there's no way in the world.
	And all she would do is she would look at what I had and she would retweet it and everything, and then they unfollowed her from me.
	It's not based on an algorithm.
	It's based on what they want to do, and it's troubling to see Rumble doing that.
	Really troubling.
	But I don't trust the people at Rumble.
	I don't trust the people who own it.
	And as I said the other day, they just got another $750 million.
	Three quarters of a billion dollars.
	And I'm struggling to try to get them to pay me what you people have kindly put in as tips.
	I'm about ready to blow the whistle on all of this stuff with Rumble.
	Because they're just blowing us off.
	And they hid the way that they restructured their website, make it more difficult for you.
	But I've got months that go back into the summer that they haven't paid us for.
	And they're still not issuing a check every month.
	Other people, what they do is, like Spreaker, the ads that are on Spreaker, they wait two months, and then they'll send you a check.
	But they do it on a regular basis.
	There appears to be no rhyme or reason as to when Rumble releases the checks.
	It's kind of like when they feel like doing it.
	And we have called them over and over again.
	And now they're shadow banning me on Rumble.
	And we're going to need to move to another platform.
	It's just going to be that simple.
	But this is a letter from Adam.
	And it says, according to Dr. Google, during the Thomas fire, this is a fire that was back in 2017 in California.
	December of 2017. During the Thomas Fire, the Global Supertanker, a Boeing 747-400 aircraft, was deployed to assist in firefighting efforts, essentially meaning one large supertanker was used to combat the blaze.
	This aircraft is considered the largest firefighting air tanker in the world.
	It can carry up to 19,600 U.S. gallons of water or fire retardant.
	California had to plead and cajole.
	To get just one down here from Canada.
	Canadian government sent it?
	Because the U.S. government can't be bothered, you know?
	That's what everybody is saying.
	It's like, what is going on?
	Why is it that there's nothing spared to go to Ukraine, but we can't do anything to help the people in North Carolina?
	And we can't that we're hurt by Hurricane Helene?
	They're not going to do anything to fight the fire?
	All of this expensive stuff that they got, it's about creating fires.
	It's about creating explosions and death.
	They don't want to do anything to save lives or help Americans.
	It's all about their global politics.
	The more I look at this, the more astounding it is to see how much our government hates us.
	How much they hate us.
	Our government is just so thoroughly ensconced in the occult and in death.
	Murder, coups, wars, you name it.
	And they absolutely despise us.
	They rob us.
	They use us.
	They turn their backs on us.
	It'd be bad enough if it was just negligence.
	But no, they actively attack us with these things.
	Adam says, we only scored one again for this catastrophe.
	Only after 9,000 homes were either damaged or destroyed.
	The U.S. Can spend $2 trillion on the F-35 to attack overseas but can't supply us with any more of these supertankers?
	No more aircraft are being converted or built.
	They don't even want to have it to fight the fires.
	They want this country to burn down.
	You know, it's not just Nero fiddling while Rome burned.
	He had his own Build Back Better program going on, right?
	Human nature doesn't change.
	And the nature of politicians doesn't change.
	Nero, many people believe, that Nero set the fires in Rome that did so much damage because he wanted to completely rebuild the area the way he wanted it.
	I mean, his plans were not as evil as what these people want to do.
	He didn't have a system, he didn't have the technology to do what these people want to do.
	He would have done it if he had it, of course.
	But anyway, he sets the fires himself because he wants to rebuild it and change it.
	And then he blames it on the Christians.
	That sounds familiar, doesn't it?
	No more aircraft are being converted or built.
	Is it true that the military has only one deployed from Colorado Springs, Colorado, when needed?
	Quote, unquote.
	Well, I don't know.
	This is from Joseph, who says, we got extremely low 2024 U.S. MIT numbers.
	He says, He says, I listen to you every day.
	I've yet to hear anything from you about this.
	He said the U.S. mint production numbers are unsettlingly low.
	Scary low.
	And he's got screenshots of what they have been producing and comparing it to previous years.
	In other words, they're not minting any coins.
	They've really seriously cut back.
	I'm not saying they're not minting any, but they're seriously cutting back, so much so.
	The people are paying a premium for newly minted stuff.
	These are not collectible items that people are doing.
	He says, rolls of 2024 nickels are now selling for $80 a roll.
	He said, that has a face value of $2 a roll.
	It's 40 nickels.
	And it's selling for $80 a roll.
	So it's $2 a nickel instead of $2 a roll of nickels.
	He says, I've seen whole boxes of 2024 nickels being sold on eBay for $1,800 and over.
	The 2024 Lincoln cent, the penny, is the lowest minted cent number of these that they've minted since 1969.
	The Federal Reserve historically orders more Lincoln cents than any other coin.
	He said Milton Friedman claimed inflation was too much money, chasing too little goods, and that a recession was...
	Not enough money chasing the goods.
	Well, I see something different in this.
	Because, you know, what we're talking about here is the difference between M1 and M2. And they've got another M3, which they don't talk about anymore.
	And they recently just changed, the Federal Reserve just changed the definition of M1. M1 has typically been currency.
	And checking, you know, demand deposits and stuff like that.
	M2 would be their treasury bills and bonds, and it would be things like savings accounts and stuff like that.
	They put the savings account, I think, now in M1 or whatever.
	But the cash and the currency aspect of it, yeah, it is interesting because as they create They're not printing enough money.
	They're actually printing too much money.
	They're just not doing it for cash because they want to move us into a digital economy.
	When they talked to Jerome Powell back in 2020 when Trump was doing all of this universal basic income training, Giving people stimulus checks to get them accustomed to universal basic income.
	At that point, somebody was interviewing Jerome Powell and said, well, you're just printing all this money.
	He says, well, we're not printing it.
	He says, we're just adding numbers on the computer.
	And I laughed about it.
	And I said, yeah, if you, I said, just look for that three and a half trillion dollar thing.
	I said, if you had one dollar bills that were stacked, and I looked to see how high a newly minted stack of flat bills that have not been in circulation.
	How high that would be.
	And I said, you know, $3 trillion of that would span the distance from Earth to the Moon and like halfway back or something.
	It's been five years, so I don't remember exactly, but that was in 2020 when he was putting that stuff out.
	But it's just all, you know, they're not physically printing anything.
	That would be a lot of trees.
	But they're not physically printing the money, and they're not minting the coins because they want to get people off of cash.
	And so the problem is that it is going to be too much money chasing too little goods.
	And it is going to be inflation.
	But it's going to be cashless as well.
	That's the really scary part of this, the cashless aspect.
	He says, Money that is circulating is money that the government is spending, pretty much.
	Yeah, that's what they're creating on the ledgers.
	The government has become the economy.
	That's not capitalism.
	That's socialism and it's war.
	He's absolutely right about that.
	I totally agree with that.
	And then we have, this is from John.
	He said, in reference to your January the 7th show, where I was talking about January the 6th and the agent provocateurs there.
	He said, I'm always trying to refer to old books to people to help them interpret current events.
	And he says, you know, a few people know that before we had 1984, that came out in 1948, or Brave New World in 1932, we had a Russian novel that was called We, W-E. And that was in 1920-something.
	And so, again, There's a lot of people that have written about this dystopian thing, but of course it's all falling in the patterns, and we can understand how that's going to work because we know what human nature is.
	Just like Nero.
	He's got a different way to burn down Rome, but he's doing it for basically his own purposes, and he's going to blame it on other people in a false flag fire.
	He says, I'm always trying to get people to read Jack London's book as well, Iron Heel.
	I've not read that.
	Actually, I've not read We either.
	I have to take a look at those.
	I've got a lot of things on my reading list, though, unfortunately stacking up.
	He said, he thinks it led to Jack London's personal downfall, its character assassination, untimely death at 40. I wasn't aware that he was, I don't know Jack London that well, I only know Call of the Wild, and so I was kind of surprised to see that he was involved in politics.
	The 1991 publication, The Illuminati, he says, by Larry Burkitt, Chapter 10 outlines the exact scenario you outlined back in 2021. Different circumstances.
	But the book presents the basic premise of sidelining an event using agent provocateurs.
	In this case, the provocateurs were armed and were standing with Christian protesters.
	And when the face-off began, these provocateurs produced their concealed weapons and began to indiscriminately fire fully automatic weapons.
	At police officers, striking several police officers with the expected result of police regrouping, returning fire on the unarmed masses of Christians.
	Pretty similar to, unfortunately, the one that happened with January 6th.
	I mean, there wasn't any gunshots there, but the agent provocateur has got it all done.
	He says he talked to his son and gave him a link to the show.
	And his son came back and said, Really, Dad?
	You need therapy.
	What kind of wacko garbage are you listening to up there in Montana?
	You need to get a life.
	I believe in science and I believe in doctors.
	Well, I would say, take your pick.
	You can have science or you can have doctors.
	You can't have both.
	They're mutually exclusive anymore.
	They're all about money.
	They're not about science.
	That's the whole thing.
	When you look at it, have they isolated this stuff?
	Will they give us any proof?
	No, no.
	As I've said for the longest time, look, science, and I'll say it again, it's been a while since I said it, but scientific method put in by Francis Bacon was in opposition to what he called academia.
	In his day, if somebody at a well-known institution or someplace that people, something that was well-connected politically or thought of, highly esteemed, well, whatever they said went.
	And he said, no, we're going to have people show their work.
	We need to have the ability to reproduce their results and all the rest of this stuff, or it's not science.
	We're going to be objective about it.
	We're going to be able to see the data.
	These people hide everything that they do.
	I was with a group that tried to get the data from Michael Mann.
	He would not give it up.
	And Fauci doesn't want to give it up.
	None of these people want to give it up.
	They don't want to show you the isolated COVID virus because they don't have it.
	It's just a model that they used.
	It's not science.
	It's an argument from authority.
	I am science, right?
	Anyway, one more thing that he had that I thought was interesting.
	He said, from his days as an Air Guard C-130 pilot, back in...
	1984-85 about a young woman that was working at Vandenberg Air Force Base as an intern while working on her PhD.
	He said this young woman, with everything in life ahead of her, used her top-secret level credentials to gain access to a GPS satellite clean room, where she proceeded to attack the satellite with a sledgehammer completely destroying the $20 million device.
	The female news reporter laughingly said the deranged woman whose job had been writing code to be used by the satellite hardware computers to be used for early launch warning, said that she gave a rambling statement to authorities about objecting to new code mandates that violated the public's interest in personal privacy, etc.
	The poor woman was never seen or heard from again or on the news.
	No trial, no court deposition of the criminal case, I know, because I tried to follow it, back when we only had a few propaganda channels for several years.
	He said, so, I'll just throw in, that was something that Steve Pachenik was very proud of.
	Besides working for Henry Kissinger, and besides being a part of Operation Gladio, and besides being, according to the Italian government's investigation, he was the one who met with, kidnapped Italian Prime Minister Aldo Moro and gave the order to have him killed.
	Steve Pachenik also bragged, and who knows if it's true or not, because outside of the things that were verified by the Italian government about Operation Gladio, I wouldn't believe a word that comes out of Steve Pachenik's mouth.
	But one of the things that he bragged about, because he has a background in psychology, and he said he was the guy that was there when somebody would try to crash the gates of the White House or something like that.
	He said he was the one who would evaluate them, and he laughed about it.
	He said those people disappeared, and you'd never hear from them again.
	Wow, what a monster.
	It's absolutely amazing.
	No trial, nothing.
	Just like this, right?
	You get in their way, and you just disappear.
	This is from Adam.
	He says, my son was a top gamer.
	This is about Elon Musk.
	And what I had to say about him, he said, my son was a top gamer while working two full-time jobs.
	My grandson, however, is a celebrity gamer who devotes much more time to it.
	He said, Elon might be more talented than my son, but less talented than my grandson, so let's not blame him for one of the very few crimes that he didn't commit.
	Well, I would just say that's pretty amazing that your son would be a top gamer while working two full-time jobs.
	Elon Musk, on the other hand, has got six large companies that he's supposedly running.
	That was my point.
	It's not to condemn it.
	It's just to say that he has about as much to do with the running of these companies, probably, as Larry Fink does with the companies that he owns.
	He's got a lot of companies that are there, but he's got other people who are operating it.
	And that was the whole point of Brian Shalhavi's investigation, or not investigation, but his point of bringing that up about a month or so ago.
	Wall Street Journal and other people are saying, how does he have the time to play video games and all the rest of this stuff?
	The investors are looking at it.
	I think that it's important from the standpoint that people think that Elon Musk is a genius who is running all these companies simultaneously.
	And I've seen articles saying, oh yeah, when he wanted to do rocket launch, he contacted a guy who was an expert and got a book from him, and he read it all, and he memorized it all.
	It's like he's designing it or something.
	He's not designing this stuff.
	He's not that hands-on.
	That's the point.
	And so it's part of the legend of Elon Musk, which...
	I'm more than happy to throw some real mud on.
	He's talking about legends.
	And then he says, and by the way, Musk is Sour Man Musk and Trump is Sauron Musk.
	Trump can take Musk's money anytime he chooses and he can lock him away on a whim.
	Musk is like a Rothschild.
	Mountains of cash, but no power.
	Well, I just like, you know, Sauron Musk because it sounds like Elon Musk.
	And so, I'll probably continue to call him Sauron Musk.
	But, and I guess also because, you know, in a sense, he is, you know, Trump is really about taking the money, right?
	And getting the power.
	And getting his name on things.
	You know, again, I know that at some point, they're going to rename the Gulf of Mexico the Gulf of Trump, maybe after he dies.
	But they'll be naming everything after him.
	But, you know, he wants his name on everything.
	And he wants the money.
	All these politicians in Washington want the money.
	And that's what gives the people of money that kind of power.
	But when I talk about Elon Musk being Sauron Musk, it is not simply because it sounds better.
	It sounds more like Elon.
	But I think it's because he really is into this dark stuff.
	You know, Trump is like a boss hog.
	He wants to summon the demons on us, right?
	Whether it's artificial intelligence or whether it's a singularity, he wants to demand that we join with the machines.
	He wants to probe our minds with brain-computer interfaces.
	He wants to enslave us with universal basic income.
	He's the one that's got the ideas in this because it's something that has been ingrained in his family, multi-generations, his grandfather.
	Jumping on board with H.G. Wells and these other people pushing technocracy in Canada, trying to get rid of their representative government there.
	They brought him up on charges.
	They didn't convict him, so he left and he went to South Africa.
	But this is why Elon Musk's family is so heavily into the occult and into technocracy.
	That's why I talk about him being Sauron.
	It is a very dark, Very dark, what he's doing.
	Then this was sent to me by Bert, and he says, one L.A. fire is arson, the Kenneth fire.
	Here's a report where they interviewed neighbors there that saw this guy who can only speak a little bit of English, mostly Spanish, and he had a propane tank and a blowtorch setting fires.
	And apparently it was folks there in Woodland Hills that earlier today noticed this person acting suspicious and made what you might consider a citizen's arrest.
	Listen to one of the people involved in that.
	Mom and I were sitting up in our backyard in the house here and all of a sudden I hear a car come to a screeching halt and the guy is running out saying stop, stop, stop.
	Drop what you're holding.
	Drop what you're holding.
	And then next thing we hear is him yelling, neighbors, neighbors, he's trying to start a fire.
	Call 911. Call 911. My mom ran out in her bathrobe ready to fight the guy.
	And all of the neighbors started coming out, calling 911. We really banded together as a group.
	A few gentlemen in the neighborhood had detained him.
	They had surrounded him, gotten him on his knees, and then they got some zip ties, and my stepdad came out with some rope, and we were able to do a citizen's arrest and detain him until the police had arrived.
	He had a propane tank or a big yellow tank, like a flamethrower, basically, and the neighbor said that he saw the guy behind a van.
	The guy looked like he was in his mid-twenties.
	He said that he had a blowtorch to smoke marijuana because he couldn't afford a lighter.
	He spoke a lot of Spanish, but did speak some English as well.
	We had some Spanish-speaking neighbors that were able to translate and help us out.
	He did seem an altered state, though.
	We were just so happy that law enforcement came so quickly with such a huge response.
	They came from all sides just in case the guy tried to get away and it really was a valiant effort.
	They did their due diligence and I hope the detectives can put this case to rest.
	Yeah, great job done by those folks in Woodland Hills today.
	And while the fire is out tonight, there were some frightening moments earlier today as those flames spread very quickly, forced evacuations early on.
	The scared residents, you could see it on their faces as they came streaming out, many of them carrying their pets, dragging suitcases that were filled with their personal belongings.
	But the firefighters were able to get in there pretty quickly.
	Those water-dropping helicopters had a huge impact along with the hand crews.
	They made some quick work.
	The winds picked up from here and there.
	But calmed down finally.
	They were able to really jump in there.
	And tonight, as I mentioned, the flames are out.
	Well, I have some questions about that.
	When I look at it, that's a pretty big fire.
	And I didn't see any fire damage around that area where the guy had been apprehended.
	Did they take him to another area after they...
	Hog-tied him or something like that?
	You know, I mean, he was hog-tied there.
	But, you know, I think you're going to see a lot of copycat arson.
	It still doesn't tell us exactly how this started.
	I think you're going to see that this has inspired a lot of people, some miscreants as well as immigrants like this guy who've come across the border who hate this country and want to damage him.
	It could even...
	You've got other countries where they are releasing criminals that are just nuts.
	They don't really necessarily have a motive.
	Or you've got others who are working for the government, like the government of Venezuela.
	That guy who was doing the home invasions and squatting on things, he was working for the Venezuelan government, or had in the past.
	Part of their Venezuelan intelligence organization, and probably there, just like here.
	You don't get out of it.
	You're still working for them, no matter how they sheep dip people.
	But again, we still don't know anything about the cause of the fire, what happened with it.
	We have a lot of people who believe it's directed energy weapons.
	As they said in Hawaii, there's not anything that I can validate one way or the other.
	What we need to look at is how this is going to be used.
	And I think there's no question as to whether this is organic or whether this was done by the government that they're going to use it to push their smart city agenda.
	They're talking about how the area is now, we should not build back there.
	We're going to make it so that we're going to lay the foundation so that any fire that happens, natural or arson or directed energy weapons, whatever it is, they're not going to be able to put it out.
	And the insurance companies could see that coming.
	The insurance companies got out.
	And now they're saying, well, who's going to insure this?
	Well, nobody.
	So we've got to make sure that people don't build there.
	That kind of paternalism.
	But it's all really about making L.A. a smart city and locking people down into that.
	There was also another example of arson as well.
	This is, again, a copycat type of thing.
	It's not one of the major blazes that were there.
	This is a bunch of people.
	I don't know if they were homeless, if they're immigrants or whatever, but they just get together and decide they're going to start a big fire.
	We're at 302 Pico, and people are lighting fires now.
	You can see they lit a fire.
	These guys, not all the people there, but some of those guys lit that fire.
	And they're actually, the trees caught fire, and then the palms are catching fire.
	So civilians are now lighting fires down in the so-called flats around Santa Monica, Venice.
	So be safe out there.
	Fire department's been dispatched.
	We don't have enough water to put this thing out.
	But we're supposed to be on the way.
	Yeah, exactly.
	So we don't have any water to put it out.
	But hopefully they're going to be on the way.
	We call the police to get these people.
	These are copycat things.
	This still doesn't get us to...
	The source of the fire.
	North American House Hippo says, I want to know what Doge will have to say about aerospace contractors and their inflated invoices.
	You know, people like Elon Musk, for example.
	As well as green grifting and subsidies for expensive electric cars.
	Well, now he's seen the light.
	Elon Musk, after he got every last dime of the EV subsidies, he's now seen the light and we can't have that anymore.
	Because that would be going to his competitors.
	So we're going to stop that.
	We're going to stop that now for his competitors.
	Atomic Dog says, Help David Knight spread the truth across the Fruited Plains by liking the video and sharing on social media and subscribing.
	It helps.
	Thank you so much for reminding me.
	Yes, please do.
	Please like the video.
	Please share it.
	That's a big help.
	Do Not Obey says, I'll never comply.
	With a public health order, even if the bird flu joins forces with HIV, monkeypox, and COVID to become a Marvel comic super virus.
	That's good.
	Yeah.
	The League of Fear that they have going on there, right?
	Instead of Justice.
	OctoSpook.
	Campaign donations are criminal payments and bribes.
	That's right.
	They are advanced.
	It's an advanced auction of stolen goods.
	That's what an election is.
	And just, you want to look, you want to metric for how corrupt Washington has become?
	Just look at the astronomical amounts that have been spent for all the elections, but especially for the presidential election.
	Just going back to the year 2000, only $100 million for George W. Bush and $70 million for Al Gore.
	And look at it now, you know, just in the short couple of months that Lala was running.
	She got a billion dollars, and she still wound up $20 million in debt.
	How does that work?
	Northern Manhattan House Suppo says, I was irritated when David mentioned...
	This business about Rumble last week, I have been successful in sending him cash app contributions, so I'll do that from now on.
	Well, thank you very much.
	I appreciate that.
	And we have a little bit of a plug here.
	If people want to send us contributions via Zelle, and we have also on the website the P.O. Box where you can send things.
	And by the way, I didn't do this yesterday, and I was remiss in doing it.
	Let me thank the people who sent checks.
	To the post office.
	Marty, again, who's done the matching funds.
	Thank you so much, Marty.
	David W., Matthew H., David and Susie S., Minor Mike, and thank you for your note, Minor Mike.
	We will take you up on that offer of matching funds later in this year.
	Steve S., Tom and Nancy K., long-time listeners and long-time supporters.
	Thank you so much for the contribution as well as for the book.
	Drawings that their children have done.
	I think this is a pretty good likeness of me.
	The children, Sammy and Abby, not sure which one did this.
	But it says David Knight Show right there.
	And so thank you very much.
	They've reordered their lives to follow God and to teach their children.
	And I really, I know that God will bless that.
	It's always good to hear from them and to find out what is happening in their family.
	We're going to take a quick break and we will be right back.
	Excellencies, ladies and gentlemen, your annual global risk report makes for a stunning and sobering read.
	For the global business community, The top concern for the next two years is not conflict or climate.
	It is disinformation and misinformation, followed closely by polarization within our societies.
	In a world of deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.
	You are listening to The David Knight Show.
	Isn't it amazing to see the desperation of increasing the war, the death and the destruction with the Ukraine war?
	And of course, others that they're going to be jumping into.
	We have...
	An interesting update here from a YouTube channel called Warzone Echo.
	And they give an example of how if you're just going to throw equipment at people and you're not going to do any training, this is one of the reasons why the Ukrainian positions are collapsing so rapidly.
	This was an elite organization that got some of the best equipment, they said, and they just collapsed.
	Our first stop is Pokrovskoyek, where Ukraine's shiny, freshly trained NATO brigade, the 155th Mechanized Brigade, had a debut that, let's just say, didn't go as planned.
	As Colonel Douglas MacGregor often highlights, sending underprepared troops into battle without robust training is a recipe for disaster.
	Let's unpack the details.
	This brigade, trained in France and equipped with Western weaponry, was supposed to showcase the pinnacle of NATO-Ukrainian collaboration.
	Instead, what we witnessed was a complete collapse.
	Out of 3,000 troops, 1,700 fled the battlefield after facing Russian forces for the first time.
	Imagine this over two-thirds of a brigade gone.
	The sheer scale of this desertion cannot be overstated.
	According to Ukrainian sources, the collapse wasn't just about fear, it was also about leadership.
	The brigade's commander was fired immediately after the battle, while a battalion leader overcome by stress died of a heart attack on the field.
	This wasn't a battlefield tragedy, it was a leadership disaster.
	And when leadership fails, morale follows.
	Why did this happen?
	The answer lies in the brigade's preparation or lack thereof.
	Reports indicate that many of these soldiers were civilians pressed into service.
	They had less than two weeks of training before being sent to Pokrovsky.
	Picture someone who's never held a rifle suddenly facing Russian artillery and experienced troops.
	It's not courage that's missing its basic survival skills.
	Let's not forget the context.
	Pokrovsky is a hot zone.
	Russia's forces here are seasoned, equipped, and strategically positioned.
	This isn't a place for half-prepared soldiers with new gear they barely know how to use.
	Even with advanced NATO weapons, poorly trained troops are no match for a determined, well-organized adversary.
	This event underscores a critical flaw in Western military strategy in Ukraine.
	Providing state-of-the-art equipment is meaningless without the training and discipline to use it effectively.
	Colonel Douglas McGregor has repeatedly pointed out that wars are not won by technology alone, but by the soldiers wielding it.
	Yeah, and we have seen that over and over again.
	And they've said that from the very beginning.
	They said, oh, you're going to send them a lot of tanks.
	Well, how are they going to use them?
	Do they know how to use them as a coordinated movement?
	And does anybody know that the tanks by themselves are really not that effective?
	They have to be a component of a larger battle group.
	And those components are not even there.
	But, of course, nobody has been trained in how to use them in the tactics that they have developed in the U.S. I don't know if he was referring to all the extra reverb that he's got on there.
	There was a lot of echo on that, wasn't there?
	I didn't put that on there.
	But then he also has this quote from former, from retired, I don't know what his rink is, McGregor, Douglas McGregor.
	I forget what his rank was, but here's what he has to say.
	This is more like a World War I battlefield.
	Once you have networked, integrated all of the overhead surveillance, manned, unmanned, sensors from the ground all the way into space, with all of your strike systems, and the Russians historically have always had enormous numbers of strike systems.
	I'm talking about anything beyond line of sight.
	Once those are networked, you make it impossible for your enemy, unless the enemy has substantial air and missile defenses, to really move.
	It makes maneuver almost impossible.
	That's what the Russians have done in Ukraine.
	So hopefully, you know, people will listen to President Trump and understand just how terrible the lothality of this battlefield is.
	But I don't think they will.
	I think this is going to go on and on and on until 20 January.
	And then the real question is, can he reign in this rogue deep state, which consists largely of the intelligence communities and their supporters and especially on the Hill.
	Welcome back to the channel.
	Yeah, that's right.
	Look at this.
	Is he going to be able to get the rogue people who started this stuff, the CIA, in line?
	Who was running who in the first Trump administration?
	You know, he would talk all the time about how he got lied into the Iraq War, lies about weapons of mass destruction.
	Well, those lies were based on torture.
	And those lies were, those lies developed from torture were taken to...
	People by Gina Haspel that Trump put in charge of the CIA. And she did a cover-up of the torture, and then she sold the lies to people in previous administrations.
	And as far as I'm concerned, she was running the CIA the entire time.
	Because she definitely was the director the last couple of years, but the first couple of years, Mike Pompeo was supposedly in charge of the CIA, but she was the deputy director.
	But she was somebody who knew technically how the whole thing was set up.
	He was just a politician.
	And then he got moved to the State Department, and they moved her to the head of the CIA, but I think she was running it the entire time.
	So is Trump going to push back against the CIA people, or are they pulling his strings?
	I think that's what is happening.
	I think it's the latter.
	People talking about Rumble and what I had to say, 12 June 1776, so it appears the best way to support the DK show is not through Rumble, but direct and paid and full.
	That is a better way, I think, because I'm not really sure what's going to happen with the Rumble format.
	We're getting a lot of strange stuff from it.
	Doug Oleg says, I swear rumble cuts out when I turn on DK. The random internet failures that we get on Rockfin.
	He says it's total BS. So unfortunately, the platforms we have to use now, we are on Odyssey.
	And the person who gave us a lot of tips that I read yesterday, back on December the 22nd, I just got around to reading them on air, and we just got around to looking at them.
	And I sent a follow-up, and he said, yeah, move to Odyssey.
	It's more secure.
	RT is moving there.
	It really is a true free speech platform.
	I know someone from InfoWars who used to do technical stuff there, who is now at Odyssey.
	And so we may wind up doing, I think, a direct broadcast.
	We're going to look into it and see if we can't have a facility there where people can leave tips.
	He looked into it, and he said their fee structure is better as well.
	You know, the fees are all the different places.
	And, of course, I understand that.
	There's a cost of bandwidth and all the rest of that stuff, and they need to make a living as well.
	So I don't begrudge them the fees, but it's just how it's collected.
	And whether or not it's paid, that's the other issue as well.
	Dougaluck says, I'm watching on my computer, but I'm listening through my phone because the phone doesn't cut out.
	That's interesting.
	And, you know, I can understand, too, that if that's growing pains, but what I don't understand is the fact that they would have people who have followed the broadcast unfollow the broadcast.
	That's very concerning, and I just saw that.
	Brian and Deb McCartney, I have my phone on, too, for when the iPad cuts out.
	Koalimo says, Dougalug, try Odyssey or DLive?
	Yeah, Odyssey.
	Now, DLive, we were on DLive for a while, for a short period of time, and they demonetized us.
	You know, after January, and that was at the very beginning.
	It was DLive, and it was another one.
	The other one, and I can't remember what it was.
	We had it in our...
	Or commercial there.
	I think the old commercial.
	But the other live platform that we're on just completely banned me.
	And DLive demonetized us.
	Because there was criticism from the mainstream media.
	They said, look at this.
	You got this insurrection on January the 6th, which it wasn't.
	And some of these people were live streaming this on DLive.
	And the other platform, and they got paid to do it.
	That's an outrage.
	And so, you know, one platform just banned all political content, and the other one demonetized all political content.
	And that was DLive that demonetized that.
	But Odyssey, we will be doing more with Odyssey.
	Denver Attaway says, Ninard is a noun, singular, a person that is so retarded.
	In order for them to be told they are a retard, it must be said in their own language.
	I don't know if that's a legitimate word or not.
	If it's not, that's a really good definition, I guess.
	North American House Hippo.
	I like the way David amended MAGA to make amnesia great again.
	Let's forget everything that Trump did four years ago.
	That's just over with.
	Well, he's going to do it again, and he's going to do it worse because he's not going to have to get your approval this next time.
	Trovo.
	That was it.
	Trovo.
	Thank you.
	Yeah, it was Trovo.
	They were the ones who just completely banned all political content, including us.
	Angry Tiger.
	Elon Musk is setting up his own crypto platform where he tells you that he will double your crypto as he's making the speech.
	He uses the word scheme.
	Yeah.
	Nancy Chambers went to the bank to get $100 bills and was told that I had to take most in lower denominations.
	The teller had to share $100 with another customer.
	S-H-S-R-E. Is that supposed to be share, I guess?
	Yeah.
	They want cash to become difficult.
	And that's part of what's happening with the coins.
	OctoSpook, when they need the power of whole nuclear power plants to support digital money, it would seem that printing money would be no more expensive.
	Oh, it's not about the expense.
	And it's not about the power.
	They will spare no expense, whether it's power or money, to have a surveillance state.
	They will have us living a subsistence life.
	That would suit them just fine.
	But they're going to give first priority.
	To AI. Because the thing that AI brings to the party is not being able to do animation and things like that.
	The purpose of AI is to propagandize us and to surveil us, but it is also to be able to do data mining.
	They put the information, they have collected so much information on us and are doing it all the time.
	They need to have AI pull it together and make sense of it for them.
	And so they need the massive computing power to automate the analysis of the data, to data mine what...
	They have got on us.
	I mean, they've been collecting data on all of us for decades and storing it on these massive computers like the one that the NSA's got out in Bluffdale, Utah, out in the middle of the desert, massive consuming of electricity as well as water in the middle of the desert.
	And they've got another one on the East Coast around the Washington area, and they're just saving everything.
	And as computer power is getting better and better, and as they bring in artificial intelligence, they will mine that stuff and put it together.
	That's what it's always been.
	They've been saving it for the future when the computer power catches up.
	It's the same way as when, you know, the 1960s and JCR Licklider.
	They said, let's create the Internet.
	Well, they didn't have the technical capability to do it.
	That didn't come around until the 1990s, and then they jumped into it in a big way.
	They had the CIA create its own venture capital firm, and all these people in the intelligence community put people on the boards of these firms, and then they provide that stuff for free for many years to everybody.
	And then, because now they've got a lot of ads and other things like that, they've now monetized it and they're now making a lot of money.
	But for years, the whole thing was being paid for by the federal government because they were setting up a massive web to trap us, a massive net to ensnare us.
	And they have been saving all of this information and they're going to start mining it with the artificial intelligence.
	That's what's really concerning about it.
	But again, we're not going to operate from a point of fear.
	We're going to talk about that coming up here.
	Well, I agree.
	I agree.
	And there's a lot of different reasons for that.
	I mean, there is deliberate to the extent, and it's been going on for so long, that I think this whole thing about how the forestry situation is operating, how they don't take out the dead wood and everything.
	I think, you know, once incompetence goes on for so long and reaches a certain level, you've got to say that it's malicious.
	And so there's maliciousness there.
	It all folds together into their plans.
	And I don't think it's an accident.
	I don't think it's coincidence either.
	A Syrian girl, with all the insane people in our country today, I'm very afraid that there will be lots of copycat arsonists.
	I agree.
	Yeah, just like shootings, you know.
	You've got some shootings that are, you know, created with MKUltra or whatever, people that are hyped up.
	I really do think the Aurora, Colorado shooting falls into that.
	And then you've got other people who just copy it, right?
	And then, of course, there's a satanic aspect of that as well, I think.
	Octospook.
	Dope smokers here in New Mexico always use propane blowtorches.
	I guess that's why they call it blow.
	No, I think that's cocaine that's blow or something, is it?
	Anyway, it's not blowtorch.
	We don't know.
	Well, I've heard these phrases somewhere, but I've never been a part of that culture, fortunately.
	Yeah, it's so much cheaper to get a propane blowtorch than to get a lighter.
	Mark Young, gee, I wonder why the people hate this country.
	Maybe because we kill millions and we start wars all over the planet.
	Guard Goldsmith.
	Iron Heel, that was what the listener was talking about earlier, he says, Iron Heel is a dystopian novella, good stuff, from Jack London's populist-socialist point of view, which seems slightly like William Jennings Bryant's opposition to Eastern corporate power.
	Interesting story.
	We was banned by the Leninist-Stalinist gang, but it got published in France.
	Then Orwell read it, as did Ayn Rand.
	In fact, we, everyone is a number, much like the prisoner.
	Well, there we go.
	Yeah, there's so much stuff that I want to read that I won't have time to get to probably in my lifetime.
	I do a lot of reading, but it's now shallow stuff like this, you know?
	I'm glad I had time to read the other stuff in the past.
	But occasionally we get in and do some stuff.
	And I would like to do some shows that are going to be a deep dive on a particular topic rather than just going through what is happening with current events.
	Assyrian Girl, didn't Sauron start his career as a servant of Melkor, the powerful, evil, fallen angel?
	I think Sauron Musk still works.
	Jeb Clanton, thank you for the tip on Rockfin.
	Appreciate that.
	Says, Trump and Obama like each other now.
	That's right.
	Wonder how the Trumpers are handling that.
	Isn't that interesting?
	I didn't look to see the reactions of people like Tim Pool or Laura Loomer.
	How does she like that?
	It seems like Seems like Donald Trump is as friendly with Obama as he was with Laura Loomer.
	Or maybe not.
	Maybe not that friendly.
	I don't know.
	Garnt Goldschmidt says, Odyssey is great.
	I hope more folks head over.
	I have to start doing streaming through it.
	Good people behind it.
	Yes, there are good people behind it.
	And I do trust them.
	And so, you know, we always put the program up there.
	Don't know if it's streaming there now or not.
	I don't even know.
	Travis set that stuff up, and he's not here right now to ask.
	So I'm not sure if it's streaming there, but we will be streaming it, and we may be able to take tips there at Odyssey as well.
	And, yeah, I read that one from Jeb Clanton.
	Yes, thank you.
	Karen was trying to draw that to my attention.
	But yeah, we did that.
	And so we're going to take a quick break and we will be right back.
	Thank you.
	You're listening to The David Knight Show.
	Bye.
	Welcome back.
	KSOL585 says, The advantage of Rumble is that you can watch the show on our Roku TV. Well, that's good.
	We were on Roku, and we got banned off of, not Roku, but we got banned off of the platform that was feeding it.
	The people who set it up for us set it up on Vimeo, and we said, well, we know that Vimeo's going to ban us pretty quickly because they've already banned me once before when I was at Infowars.
	And they said, well, it's just a temporary thing, a couple of months.
	Well, it turned out it wasn't temporary.
	And it turns out that we didn't make it but just a couple of months before they banned us on Vimeo as well.
	But that's good to know that you can get on Roku TV through Rumble.
	That's good.
	Well, I spoke yesterday.
	About the outrage, rightfully so, I think, of people against tattoo artists who are saying, this is crazy.
	This kid comes and wants nine years old and wants a tattoo of Trump on her neck.
	And he said, I talked her out of it.
	I said, you know, come back later when you're a little bit older and everything.
	And then I talked her out of that.
	And she did come back.
	And she came back with her parents because she had to come back with her parents.
	And he got...
	I wound up talking her into an American flag instead of Trump, instead of a person that she may not like at some point in the future.
	But a lot of people are saying, what does it matter with you tattooing a child anyway?
	And I said, look at the outrage of this, and I've talked about the fact that you can't tattoo a minor, anybody under 18, in any of the 50 states.
	End of story.
	Unless, in a few of them, You've got the parental consent, and that was the case.
	This guy was in Arizona, and the family, the parents had taken their kid to another state so they could get this tattoo on him.
	And I look at that, and it's like, so what, excuse me, what was that about?
	Were the parents trying to virtue signal about how, oh, we love Trump and all the rest of this stuff?
	Was that what was really behind it?
	We like Trump so much, look at this, our daughter has got a tattoo of Trump on.
	I think that's a lot of what is happening with the trans stuff.
	But as I pointed out before, you know, there's so many things that we don't let minors do.
	When it comes to tattoos, that's just one of them.
	But of course, a tattoo can be removed at some point in time.
	If she grew up and didn't like that, she could remove that.
	But you're not going to be able to undo genital mutilation or mastectomies or chemical sterilization or any of these other monstrous things.
	That they're doing to children.
	And, you know, J.K. Rowling, who wrote the Harry Potter stories, she is completely on the other side of us, whether it comes to politics or when it comes to spirituality, but she is outraged by this transgender stuff.
	She tweeted, there are no trans kids.
	No child is, quote, born in the wrong body, unquote.
	There are only adults like you who are prepared to sacrifice the health of minors to bolster your belief in an ideology that will end up wreaking more harm than lobotomies and false memory syndrome combined.
	And I've compared it to that many times with my family.
	I said, you know, you look at lobotomies and, you know, the Kennedys did that to one of their daughters.
	And people realized how horrific that was.
	But it was a couple of years where they were doing that on a regular basis.
	And it became a part of the story of One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest.
	And so, you know, when you look at this, I think it is going to be remembered by that.
	People are going to say, how in the world did we ever have a society...
	Where children were mutilated like this.
	And in the UK, the liberal UK, they're pulling back from it.
	Tavistock, where this stuff was centered, is now being shut down and everything.
	But not in the United States because of Planned Parenthood and others.
	And, you know, she has spoken out on this many times.
	I remember, you know, one of the places that I've relied on significantly to get virtual instruments was Spitfire Audio.
	One of the co-founders of that, Christian Henson.
	And when she said something about transgender kids, he retweeted it and said, I agree with that.
	He goes, it's coming for your kids.
	And he said, and if your kids have autism, it's already at your front door.
	And he got kicked out of the company that he co-founded because of that statement.
	But he was absolutely right.
	Absolutely right, because especially when you look at the fact that they're focusing on kids with autism, because this is about deception.
	It is really an evil, pedophile-like manipulation, so they can mutilate these kids.
	It's based on pushing forward this ideology, but it's more than that.
	I really do believe that it is demonic.
	The tattoo issue?
	Do they know what they want?
	Is it something that they're going to be happy with the rest of their life?
	Because it can't be changed when it's the gender mutilation.
	The tattoo could even be changed.
	But they don't have the maturity to know that they're going to do something like that.
	And that is the case in so many different areas.
	She said, kids are watching TikTok videos of surgeons selling the idea that bodies can be modified like Lego.
	Schools affirm kids' trans identities behind the backs of their parents.
	A certain kids' charity in the UK sent out breast binders to pubescent girls without parental consent.
	Many parents are struggling to protect kids from a zeitgeist that is telling them that anxieties about puberty, sexuality, and growing up can be fixed by lifelong reliance on Big Pharma and by doctors who make Frankenstein look ethical.
	Well, she nailed it.
	The interesting thing is, this article, which for the most part seems to oppose this, and the final conclusion did, but it's awkward the way it was phrased.
	I thought, were they actually supporting some of this?
	They said, most children naturally outgrow their dysphoria as much as 98% of the time.
	So that means that 2% of these trans kids really are in the wrong body?
	I don't believe that at all.
	It said most children, not all, but most children diagnosed with gender dysphoria actually suffer from rapid onset gender dysphoria.
	You can call it whatever you want.
	It's just lies and gaslighting.
	It's gaslighting.
	It's very easy to manipulate children.
	You can get children to believe that there's a Santa Claus.
	And these kids that believe in Santa Claus are now being told that they're in the wrong body.
	And the parents that are doing this need to be investigated by a real organization, not by these child trafficking government organizations that are out there.
	Contagion, she said, when it happens, these children are induced into gender dysphoria, either by propaganda or by abusive adults.
	And it can be their parents.
	Kaya Clementine Breen, for example, the one who is suing one of the most well-known experts in this documentary.
	Dr. Olson Kennedy, who heads the Center for Trans Youth at L.A. Children's Hospital.
	I wonder if that burned up.
	It will someday.
	I'm not suggesting somebody...
	Talking about what God will do to that.
	Kaya Clementine Breen had come to the hospital with a range of mental health conditions, some genetic and some stemming from sexual abuse.
	The so-called doctor, Olson Kennedy, had her diagnosed with gender dysphoria during her first visit without conducting a mental health evaluation and without an assessment from a child psychologist.
	Look, it doesn't matter even if the child psychologist would verify this stuff.
	It is not true.
	Zero percent.
	No kids are in the wrong body.
	Instead, she was fast-tracked onto a conveyor belt of irreversibly damaging puberty blockers at the age of 12. They put her on cross-sex hormones at the age of 13. And then they gave her surgery at the age of 14. Mutilation.
	And that's from her lawsuit.
	She is now suing Olson Kennedy.
	Accuses the trans predator and her colleagues of medical negligence.
	I agree with Rowling that there is no such thing as a transgender child, said Dr. Simone Gold.
	And this is coming from the Gold Report.
	That's why I say it.
	It was awkwardly worded as if, you know, 2% of the kids who fall into this really are.
	No, there aren't any.
	She said, kids are either pushed into transgenderism through rapid onset gender dysphoria or they develop gender dysphoria on their own and they naturally outgrow it.
	Let's not give it a fancy name to legitimize this.
	Don't call it rapid onset gender dysphoria.
	It's just pedophilia.
	It's just manipulation.
	Don't tell your parents this, but you know.
	It isn't, it is not a condition.
	It's predatory.
	If a child is medically mutilated into becoming transgender, it is because of abusive adults.
	She added that she and Rowling are on opposite sides of the political spectrum, which demonstrates that medical mutilation is not a political issue.
	It's not.
	It is a spiritual issue.
	And it is so bad that even people who are antithetical to Christianity understand that.
	But, you know, when you look at what is Christianity today, especially in Europe, in Sweden, they're now closing churches in order to meet climate goals.
	How about that?
	You know, we always said they're going to do climate lockdowns.
	Well, let it begin with these churches, right, I guess?
	This is the Climate MacGuffin.
	They shut the churches down for the COVID MacGuffin.
	Now they're going to do it for the Climate MacGuffin.
	It includes historic churches from the Middle Ages.
	Non-essential churches.
	Because they're not essential if they don't believe that they have anything to do.
	And of course, the new religion, LGBT and transgenderism, is a religion.
	Absolutely is.
	But so is the Gaia stuff.
	The climate religion.
	It's got its own commandments and all the rest of this stuff being enforced by the government.
	It's a government.
	The government has established a religion.
	That's what the climate stuff is.
	It's not science.
	Again, they don't want to show you their data.
	They hide their data just like the virologists and everything have hid their data.
	And so don't talk to me about it being science.
	It is a religion.
	And they have a code of ethics and they have commandments and they have a worldview and they have all this other stuff and they're going to force you to do it and the government is establishing that religion.
	So, the Church of Sweden is closing down historic churches during the colder months of the year in order to meet its climate agenda goals.
	The climate is more important to them than Christ.
	And this is exactly what that atheist, Rausch, who works for the Brookings Institute, was saying.
	He said, look, society's going to collapse if the Christians don't start following Jesus again.
	He's an atheist.
	He doesn't believe it, but he sees the fruit of it.
	Problem is, you can't have the fruit without the root.
	And he knows that the root is Jesus Christ.
	And he's encouraging Christians to be Christian.
	But they won't have it in a lot of these churches.
	The Lutheran National Church of Sweden will close down seven churches on the island of Gotland, including historic churches from the Middle Ages, from October to May every year.
	The vast majority of the year.
	A Swedish radio station reported that the churches in Gotland are heated with oil and will be affected by the closures due to the Church of Sweden's official climate roadmap.
	See?
	They don't have the Romans road.
	They got the climate roadmap.
	That seeks to eliminate the use of fossil fuels for heating by the end of 2027. It is too expensive to switch to other energy sources for heating, they said.
	So we'll just shut the church down.
	Because the first thing that's important is that we follow the climate rules.
	Second thing is that we've got to make money.
	So let's just shut the church down.
	Swedish journalist Peter Emanuelsson Said the Church of Sweden is very progressive.
	For example, some years ago they encouraged clergy to use gender-neutral language when talking about God, despite the Bible being very clear that God is masculine.
	Now they are essentially engaging in climate lockdowns, he said.
	The woke climate cult religion is more important to them now than Christianity.
	And again, it's not Christianity, but it's Christ.
	It's Jesus Christ.
	They don't follow him at all.
	And again, it's the atheist is saying, come on, this is, you know, wake up!
	Get a hold of what you need to do, and these churches won't do it.
	The Church of Sweden has been in decline for decades, going from 95% of the population in 1972 to 53% of the population in 2023. Although 50% of the population that are still members, only 19% of those members So, okay, if it's 50% and it's only about one-fifth of them are religious, so that means that it's only 10%.
	It's gone from 95% to 10% from 1972 to 2023. There you go, over 50 years.
	This is an article from Bill Peacock.
	I looked him up.
	His name didn't register with me.
	He's somebody who has, for a long time, worked for Think Tank's Heartland Institute.
	He worked for, but he did a lot of stuff in Texas as a Republican, as a Christian.
	And he wrote this article, The Vanity of Christless Conservatism.
	We're starting to see this from various corners.
	Again, even an atheist can see it, as I pointed out.
	He said the modern conservative movement came to life in the 1950s around William F. Buckley and the National Review, who I don't really consider them to be real conservatives either.
	You know, he was connected quite a bit to the CIA, and he fought with people who wanted to, you know, the John Birch Society, that wanted to focus on The Constitution, he fought with them significantly.
	Anyway, in 1980, Reagan and the Heritage Foundation brought it into the mainstream.
	Newt Gingrich, Congressional Republicans, took back Congress in 1996. That's what caused me to run in 1994. That's what caused me to run in 1996. I put out flyers and...
	So, yeah, they've got a 10-point plan, you know, their contract with America.
	I said, here's my contract with America, the Bill of Rights.
	And I talked about how each and every one of those is being violated by our own government.
	But anyway, it looked like after 40 years, conservatism, whatever that was, was well on its way to becoming America's guiding principle of governance today.
	Obviously, that's not the case.
	Not only has conservatism not taken over America, but conservatism, if we define it as a commitment to limited government, free markets, and individual liberty, It's not even the guiding principle within the Republican Party.
	And I don't, that was my problem with the Republican Party always.
	I never saw the Republican Party was about limited government, free markets, and individual liberty.
	It wasn't about the Constitution either.
	In response to populism, the new right has reacted to the growing dominance, I'm sorry, in response, populism and the new right has reacted to the growing dominance of progressives.
	The new right has sought to reassert Christian morality in the public square.
	But Boombants have misdiagnosed the problem.
	The problem wasn't one of a commitment to unfettered liberty, but a failure of publicly to acknowledge that true liberty only comes through Jesus Christ.
	And I absolutely agree with him.
	He said, Buckley never sought to bring the word of God to bear in his fight against liberalism and the culture, and Reagan took a similar approach.
	You know, you talk about the man upstairs or whatever.
	You know, Jesus was he who must not be named.
	He said, I've worked in public policy for over 30 years, and for most of that time, I have worked closely with other Christians in Texas and across the country, and the public policies that we propose and implemented, more often than not, comported with Scripture.
	While that was a good thing, it wasn't enough.
	In fact, it never really was.
	America's post-World War II enlightenment-driven practice Was not bringing God's word to public discourse means that for 70 years, conservatives have essentially been engaging in just a massive educational effort.
	There's no power in it.
	And why did that happen?
	He doesn't talk about Madeline Murray O'Hare, her campaign when I was a school child.
	That's when she started all this stuff and the Supreme Court said, no, you can't have any religion in school.
	And it's not just teaching religion, which I would not support.
	A school teaching religion.
	But I don't support any schools at all.
	You all know that.
	But it wasn't just that.
	It was that they were going to suppress the free expression of any religion by anyone.
	Students, faculty, administration, nobody can express their religious desires.
	And that's not...
	What the Constitution was about.
	As a matter of fact, you know, we talk about the Freedom From Religion Association, and I talked about that just a couple of days ago, and how Richard Dawkins and multiple people resigned because they were no longer about free expression of religion.
	religion, they had a stupid op-ed piece about transgenderism.
	You know, what is a woman?
	Well, a woman is anybody who thinks they're a woman, that type of thing.
	And the person said, well, this is nothing but tautology.
	And, you know, as a biologist, we have to get objective about things.
	This is not scientific.
	This is actually a religion.
	They shut that person down.
	That person didn't say it was actually a religion.
	That was one of the people besides Richard Dawkins that resigned from the board.
	That other person who was a psychologist said, well, you actually have created your own little religion here.
	Dawkins said you've just completely detached yourself from physical, observable reality, from science.
	And so both of them resigned.
	But that is what freedom...
	From religion has said that they want to shut down religion, but they've established their own religion.
	And atheists do have their own religion.
	That was one thing that William F. Buckley said that I agree with.
	He said atheists have their gods and they're fiercely worshipped.
	And so we see that has been the case.
	But the purpose of a lot of these mid-century atheists in the Supreme Court, and that work has been carried on by the freedom from religion, is to suppress all free exercise of religion.
	He says, what the U.S. desperately needs is a revival brought about through the Holy Spirit through Christians who do not shrink from declaring to our rebellious culture the whole counsel of God.
	We don't need to spend time calling Americans back to conservatism.
	We need to call them to a faith in Jesus Christ.
	He agrees with the atheist.
	And I said, look, we don't have to, our job...
	It's not to judge other people, and our job is not to debate other people.
	Our job is not to win an argument and to own the other side.
	Our job is, and that's what evangelism really was about, was just declaring the good news, right?
	We just need to not be ashamed of the gospel of Christ, and we need to say that out loud, regardless of whether or not—we don't know how people are going to respond to that.
	That's between them and God.
	God is doing in their life, the condition of their heart.
	But our job is to not back away from that and just tell people the truth and not be ashamed of it.
	And we are at a turning point.
	We've had people now pushing back recently against these prohibitions.
	We had the coach who would pray silently on the 50-yard line.
	They fired him for that.
	He's now one in the Supreme Court.
	We've had a lot of different cases like that.
	He said, Psalm 2.1 tells us that kings and rulers of the earth plot in vain to burst the bonds and the cords that bound them to God and his anointed.
	The vanity and futility like this has been happening in post-World War II America.
	A people and their leaders believing that they can thrive and prosper without acknowledging the sovereign lordship of Jesus Christ over their lives and their culture.
	He said Doug Wilson explains it this way.
	He says, secularism appeared to work for a long time as it did because it was a heresy that took root in a culture that still retained enormous amounts of Christian capital.
	We kind of coasted on this.
	We kind of coasted on the blessings of previous generations.
	He said it worked for as long as it did for the same reason that the prodigal son was able to buy drinks for all of his party friends for more than just a couple of days.
	And so that is what he did.
	But what he was doing was spending his father's money as though it was money that he had earned himself.
	And then when his father's money ran out and there was a famine, and there he was staring at the pig food.
	And he started to realize that more is required to sustain a free republic than to provide your buddies with free beer.
	Going back to Peacock, he says, America has come to the point of collapse, and we're living in a culture dominated by progressive elites on the left in rebellion against God who believe abortion is a choice, that genders are fluid, and that humans, along with the rest of the universe, are the products of random chance.
	They're determined to cover up the evidence of God's work by creating a suitable object of worship in His place, and large part, this appears to be the state.
	Rebellion against God is not a partisan issue.
	There are plenty of people on the right whose denial of God has contributed to America's decline.
	Some unbelieving conservatives and moderates have made an idol out of prosperity.
	That's right.
	It's about winning, right?
	Winning is everything.
	It's not just everything.
	It's the only thing, as we've been told.
	And we keep hearing as an excuse for what Trump does.
	We keep hearing, well, we've got to win.
	We've got to win.
	And what is the yardstick that Trump always uses?
	His winning, his power, and money.
	That's what it's about.
	It's all just about money.
	And if you, as I said before, if that's what you're going to pursue, you're never going to hit the real target because you're not even aiming at the real target.
	They've undermined, by searching, making an idol out of prosperity, they've undermined God's design for economic growth.
	By turning it over to an amalgam of big government and big business, many unbelieving libertarians have been turned to self-worship and claim that the autonomous self, without government or God, is the solution to our problems.
	Rebellious souls, either left or right, don't know God and are in desperate need of hearing His Word, including the whole counsel of God on public policy issues.
	People need to hear the Word of God because it changes hearts.
	And I'm glad to see that both atheists as well as some conservatives are starting to understand this.
	Too many Christians, he said, have abandoned the application of God's Word to civil government.
	And he said it has a couple of different consequences.
	Two of them.
	First, Christians deprive themselves of the whole counsel of God.
	And then they get confused about what's happening in the culture.
	Second, the church has in practice abandoned an unbelieving culture that is in desperate need of God's word, much like ancient Israel failed to witness and to love the Gentiles as God had commanded them.
	And so when we start to focus on prosperity, or we start to focus on culture and winning the culture war, or winning a political contest, we are focused on the wrong thing and we're
	But a big part of all of this, I think, goes back to purging God out of And we have Christians who are afraid of government and afraid of these pronouncements, and they will obey men rather than God, and that's what we saw during the lockdowns.
	Now, that's what this church in Sweden is doing, right?
	They've got their religion of climate stuff that they fear, legitimately fear, I think.
	Not that it's legitimate.
	That they actually fear that, as opposed to the government regulations.
	I think they really buy into it, is what I meant by legitimately.
	I think they buy into the climate thing themselves.
	I think it isn't just that, well, I don't know what we're going to do.
	I mean, the government has told us that we can't heat this with oil, and we can't afford to replace anything else, so we'll just shut it down.
	They should defy that, but they're not going to do it.
	He says, we have no other choice, actually, for restoring prosperity, because, again, it's a blessing from God.
	You know, the founders of this country, when you look at the Mayflower, what did they say in the Mayflower Compact?
	He says, they began with, in the name of God, amen.
	But it doesn't end with that.
	He could go a little bit further in that.
	Part of the purpose that they listed in the Mayflower Compact was that they wanted to come to the New World.
	And to bring the blessings of knowing God to the people who live there, to the natives who are there.
	That was part of it.
	The rationale for the Declaration of Independence was that colonists had been endowed by their creator with certain inalienable rights.
	In 1824, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court found, quote, Christianity, general Christianity, is and always has been a part of the common law of Pennsylvania.
	Not Christianity with an established church and ties and spiritual courts, but Christianity with a liberty of conscience to all men.
	And this is what we mean when we say that America is a Christian nation.
	It's built on those Christian principles.
	Not a particular established church and all the things that come with it, but the Christian principles that were there.
	U.S. Supreme Court affirmed this in 1844. Again, so once in 1824, another time in 1844. It concluded it is also said and truly that the Christian religion is a part of the common law of Pennsylvania.
	As late as 1892, the U.S. Supreme Court and the Church of Holy Trinity v.
	U.S. quoted this when it found, indeed, that the U.S. was a Christian nation.
	They said, If we pass beyond these matters to a view of American life as expressed by its laws, its businesses, its customs, its society, we find everywhere a clear recognition of the same truth.
	That the Christian religion is a part of the common law of Pennsylvania.
	Note the following.
	The form of oath universally prevailing, concluding with an appeal to the Almighty.
	You know, I swear to uphold the Constitution, so help me God.
	Right?
	The custom of opening sessions of all deliberative bodies and most conventions with prayer.
	And the prefatory words of all wills, in the name of God, Amen.
	That's what typically was put into the wills.
	The law is respecting the observance of the Sabbath with the general cessation of secular business and the closing of courts and legislatures and other similar public assemblies on that day.
	The churches and the church organizations, which around every city, town, and hamlet, multitude of charitable organizations existing everywhere under Christian auspices.
	You know, we talked yesterday about the fires.
	And one listener pointed out the reason they call it State Farm was because you had farmers who came together in mutual society to help each other.
	When there was a disaster.
	In the same way, when they wanted a library, they would create a library.
	When they wanted a school, they'd create a school.
	When they wanted a hospital, they would do that.
	And it was the people of the community.
	And it's frequently done with Christian involvement and churches involved in that.
	But we've gotten away from that now.
	Now we look to the government to do everything for us.
	And that's the government that does everything to us.
	As Gerald Ford said, any government that can give you everything that you want is going to take everything that you've got.
	And that's what they're doing.
	And we're demanding more of that.
	Even to the extent that you've got a large part of the population cheering Trump on to do 100 executive orders on his first day.
	We want a dictator to rule over us.
	It is kind of like Israel.
	We want a king.
	And God says to them, It's because you rejected me.
	He was the one who was going to protect them.
	But they didn't want that.
	They wanted to be like everybody else.
	They wanted a king to rule over them.
	And he said, well, that king is going to steal your money.
	He's going to put your sons into the military.
	He's going to press your daughters into service.
	The making disciples of the nation is a mission statement of the church.
	Individual Christians must not leave this work, only to the institutional church.
	Look, nothing.
	It's to be left to the institutional church.
	It's all about individuals.
	The church is nothing if it's not the individuals.
	We create these abstractions like public school or like public health.
	And you know what happens when you get public health?
	Well, it ignores the health of individuals.
	When you get public schools, all they do is push the government agenda.
	And when you get institutions, the institutions that we create, Those are not the things that are going to do this.
	When we talk about a church, that's simply God's people that he called out.
	It's not some building.
	It's not some political hierarchy, some organization, some denomination.
	It's not that at all.
	And those things don't work.
	They rot from the head down, and most of them have been around long enough that they are stinking corpses.
	All of the stuff that we're called to do, we're called to do individually.
	And if you don't do it, nobody else is going to do it.
	You don't want some institution, whatever that institution is, whether it's a government school or whether it is a church, you don't want them raising your children.
	That's your job.
	That's nobody else's job.
	That's yours.
	Well, he finishes by saying, God's Word is powerful and it'll change the hearts and minds of many of those who promote government policies that stand in rebellion against God.
	It'll provide wisdom and insight into our policy problems.
	That a secular analysis will always miss.
	And he finishes it with one of my favorite passages of Scripture from Isaiah 55. And yet when you think about that,
	We've got snow that's coming this afternoon, they say.
	Who knows?
	It may be snowing now for all we know.
	I don't have any windows in here.
	But when the snow comes down, it doesn't water the ground right away, does it?
	It sits there for a while.
	And I think that the Word of God is that way as well.
	Sometimes it's like rain.
	Sometimes it soaks in immediately.
	Sometimes it can sit there for days, months, years, decades, before it sinks in.
	But it does.
	And I always thought that was an interesting analogy that he used.
	But God's thoughts are not our thoughts, and His ways are not our ways.
	But He has mercy that we cannot understand.
	We're going to take a quick break and we will be right back.
	We'll be right back.
	We'll be right back.
	you you you 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.
	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. They're doing what?
	In the place they named after me?
	Good thing I have the David Knight Show to keep me informed on the plots of these traitors.
	Making sense.
	Common again.
	This is the David Knight Show.
	A North American house hippo talked about tattoos.
	He said, my wife told me she wanted to get a tattoo.
	I said, if she gets one, I get one.
	Mine will say, do not resuscitate across my chest with my signature.
	And she never got her tattoo.
	Teresa Andrea.
	They arrested a father who was a tattoo artist for tatting his kid about a year back.
	And the kid wanted one, too.
	It wasn't just like, hold him down, I'm going to tattoo.
	Yeah, like I said, in most states, it's illegal, even with parental consent.
	So, shadowboxer.
	Transsex surgeries were first done in the 1930s in Germany.
	It's a big part of why Hitler came into power.
	And, you know, it very much reminded me of that, the guy, the Brookings Institute guy, Roush, who was the atheist, you know.
	In other words, he doesn't believe it, but he wants it for the good of society.
	And Nishi kind of said the same thing.
	You know, we've killed God.
	You know, God help us, you know, at this point.
	And you saw in Germany was where higher criticism began, where people said, well, we're going to say, well, I think this is, we're going to take this part of the Bible, but we're not going to take that part of the Bible, and we're going to critique it from a higher position.
	Well, you just threw it all out.
	And we saw the fruit of what that bore.
	You know, we saw the Weimar Republic and how corrupt it was and debauch, but of course it's nothing compared to what we have today in America.
	You look at the film like The Blue Angel, for example, Marlena Dietrich.
	The song, you know, Falling in Love Again.
	But it was a story about this sad professor who's addicted to sex and how she wrapped him around her finger and that type of thing and destroyed his life.
	In the same way as a drug addiction would.
	But you get a glimpse of the See Me Weimar Republic with that, with Cabaret, you know, the play, the Broadway play that turned into a movie, all that kind of stuff.
	And now we've gone.
	Above and beyond that, I think.
	Secluded oyster.
	Rapid onset, says, is actually the term they finally admitted to, especially for girls.
	A social contagion.
	Yeah, rapid onset.
	Just gaslight is the best way to describe it.
	A Syrian girl says, I think some children are unfortunately born to the wrong parents.
	They're not in the wrong body.
	They're in the wrong family.
	That's good.
	Don't Frag Me Bro says, Climate change is made up catastrophe used by the powers that be to install fear and guilt so that they can tax, regulate, and remove our freedoms pretending to be saving the planet.
	Absolutely right.
	A Big Brit is back again says, No synagogues closed.
	That's interesting.
	I wonder if that is the case.
	I didn't follow through with any of that stuff.
	I think it's just the most outrageous thing that...
	Churches have voluntarily shut down.
	Some of them eventually came back around, and some of them never did.
	I know that Charles Stanley's son, Andy Stanley, when some of the churches were opening up, he attacked them for opening back up again.
	It's amazing.
	Matthew Ronson, why not shut down their military for the climate crisis?
	No, they'll still drop bombs, and they'll have the most inefficient...
	Of all vehicles, I mean, look at the amount of fuel that is consumed by the jets and by the tanks and all the rest of the stuff.
	Probably measure the tank's fuel economy in gallons per mile, not miles per gallon.
	Hal 9000 Watson, YouTube shows a warning if you watch a Christian rock video.
	Yet one of the latest music vids from Megan Thee Stallion is satanic and she's nude and it doesn't get pulled.
	Wow.
	I've not heard of that.
	Marky Mark, New Jersey.
	Is Gerald Slenty coming on today?
	No, I said it earlier in the day, and then we got a call from him that he can't make it today.
	He said he might come on next week.
	So I'm anxious to get him on to see what his conclusions are.
	But he gave us a heads up.
	I should have told everybody, because I teased it.
	I do want to get him on to talk about what he sees coming up the next year.
	Tullo says, Mr. Sunti will come on once he's finished sharpening his tongue.
	He was saying the same thing we're saying, because he's anti-war.
	And he says, yeah, they can spend infinite amounts of money on bombs and missiles and planes and send them to other countries, but they can't do a thing, which many of us have been saying.
	Can't do a thing to fight the fires here.
	They're just going to set fires everywhere else.
	That's what they're really about.
	Well, one thing that I see that is maybe good, a small thing, but it would roll back something that's been a thorn in the side.
	I don't know anybody who likes daylight savings time.
	Not a single person.
	We all hate it, don't we?
	I mean, hate is bad enough.
	I don't care which one they stick to, but I hate what it does to our sleep patterns and that type of stuff when we lose an hour.
	So senators have introduced a bill.
	And I like this as well.
	Instead of using some kind of hokey acronym, they call it a lock-the-clock bill.
	Let's lock the clock.
	Don't let government touch it.
	A bipartisan group of senators led by Senator Rick Scott have reintroduced legislation to make daylight savings time permanent year-round.
	The proposal is opposed by a coalition of sleep medicine organizations, which advocate for locking the clock but in standard time mode.
	Well, there you go.
	I mean, like I said, I don't care which one gets it.
	But if they fight over this, we're going to wind up keeping this thing that keeps going back and forth and back and forth.
	Now, remember UnitedHealthcare?
	The CEO shot in the back.
	And it turns out that it's the number four on the Fortune 500 company list.
	They make so much money.
	And they are by far and away...
	The leader in terms of the percentage of claims that they reject?
	Well, UnitedHealthcare was slammed by a doctor for denying a cancer patient's surgery while she was on the operating table.
	Dr. Elizabeth Potter, a plastic surgeon in Texas, claims performing breast reconstructive surgery on a breast cancer survivor when she received a phone call in the operating room.
	Mid-surgery, Dr. Potter was allegedly told to contact UnitedHealthcare right now about the patient on the operating table, forcing her to stop the surgery and take the call.
	She said on a TikTok video, she said, I was like, do you understand?
	She's asleep right now and she has breast cancer?
	And the gentleman said, I don't actually.
	That's a different department that would want that information.
	She said, I've never had this happen before.
	It's out of control.
	Insurance is out of control.
	I have no other words.
	Well, I have a word.
	What's the matter with you?
	What's the matter with you that you would be in the middle of doing a surgery, but because you're not going to get your money, you're just going to let this person suffer?
	You know, some doctors do charity work.
	Evidently not Dr. Elizabeth Potter.
	She's not going to make an exception.
	She's either going to get her money, or she's not going to do it.
	Is she any better than UnitedHealthcare?
	I don't think so.
	It's all about money, and you've got doctors that are just as greedy as the health insurance companies.
	And that's the problem with our health care.
	And she doesn't even see it.
	That's how blind she is to this.
	So, a company spokesman for UnitedHealthcare responded to Daily Mail, who wanted comments.
	They said there are no insurance-related circumstances that would require a physician to step out of surgery, and it would create potential safety risks if they were to do so.
	We did not ask, nor would we ever expect a physician to interrupt patient care to answer a call, and we will be following up with a provider and the hospital.
	To understand why these unorthodox actions were taken.
	This is just greed all around.
	And if you look at her, she's a very young person.
	She's probably just started her medical practice.
	And she's all about the money.
	I guess that's why she got into medicine.
	By the time she's gone to medical school and done her residency and stuff like that, that's about the age that somebody would be.
	Just getting started out.
	Without insurance, This reconstructive surgery would cost anywhere from $30,000 to $50,000.
	And she's just going to stop the operation right in mid-operation if she doesn't get paid that.
	One pediatric neurology nurse on Reddit said the company has allegedly denied anti-seizure medications for children with epilepsy.
	Now we're back to the insurance company.
	The nurse wrote that we have UnitedHealthcare...
	Deny seizure medications that we can definitively tell will benefit patients based on their EEG results.
	And they say because it's not UHC's preferred medication.
	She said the patient has to fail the preferred medication first.
	And by fail, this means that the patient has to have a load of seizures.
	So these kids have to seize their brains out to get medication that we know will control their seizures.
	Well, let's talk about that.
	You know, we had in Texas, there is no medical marijuana law, but they do have an exception for seizures for children having brain seizures.
	And we know that a lot of times these brain seizures have been caused as a reaction to vaccines.
	David Simpson, who is an excellent state representative that I interviewed multiple times, a very strong Christian who tried to stop marijuana prohibition.
	Because he wanted people to be able to use this for health issues.
	And he said, I have two sets of parents in my district who at the time had gone to Colorado where medical marijuana was legal.
	And he said, they've tried everything for their children.
	They just have constant seizures, like she's talking about here.
	And the only thing they found that worked was marijuana.
	And he said, so they can either move to Colorado, which they can't do, or they can run the risk of going to jail and having their child taken away if they give them medical marijuana here.
	And he made the case, and he got that exception, even though they don't recognize marijuana as a medical thing anywhere else.
	But here's the thing.
	Just like UnitedHealthcare, well, they say, you're going to try, before you can have the medical marijuana, You have to document that you've tried every other pharmaceutical intervention and that it didn't work.
	So just like UnitedHealthcare.
	It's just they've got a different agenda.
	They want to push the CIA's war on drugs, and that's their agenda, whereas UnitedHealthcare wants to push the pharmaceutical drugs.
	And in both cases, they're willing, eventually at some point in time, To let people have access to something that will help them, these children.
	But in the meantime, they're going to let them suffer seizure after seizure.
	In many cases, it will cause issues, damage the kids.
	As people are looking at the upcoming trial of Luigi Mangione, they said, could fandom cause jury nullification in his trial?
	And of course, that's what happened with O.J. Simpson.
	You had people who liked O.J. Simpson.
	And they gave him a pass on murder.
	In the civil trial, he was found guilty.
	So I believe that was a case of jury nullification.
	And that could be the same type of thing that happens with Luigi.
	People are looking at it and saying, you know, it's not that they think that he didn't do it.
	They think he did it, and they're okay with it.
	It kind of reminds me of what...
	I think it was Adams, John Adams, that said, you know, we've got a form of government that only works and is only suitable if you have a moral people.
	If you've got people who have no morality, that they would allow somebody to be shot in the back because of the grievances that they have with this insurance company or whatever.
	People are going to come after jury nullification, which is a very, very important check.
	On the power of government.
	It is the most important check that we have on the power of government.
	If the government is going to haul you into court for some unjust law, some unconstitutional law, or if the penalty that you would have to pay if you're found guilty is too high, the jury has the duty to nullify that law.
	But what the jury would be doing here is nullifying laws against murder.
	And that is not just.
	And so it's sad to see that, but that's the kind of thing that happens after people have jettisoned the morality that is involved with it.
	Meanwhile, Kevin Lynn reveals a crisis that U.S. doctors are being denied jobs as foreign graduates flood hospitals.
	So you've got engineers who are software engineers who are getting out of college, and between artificial intelligence and between H-1B visas, they can't get a job.
	Even if they've got a perfect 4.0 grade point average.
	Even if they're coming from a name-brand college, they can't get a job.
	And now you've got U.S. doctors being denied jobs as foreign graduates are coming in and flooding the hospitals.
	So, is the greed situation going to get any better with this?
	No.
	You've got people who are coming here.
	Why?
	Because they want to make a ton of money.
	And you've got corporate hospitals who are hiring them.
	Why?
	Because they want to make a ton of money.
	Where does a patient come in in any of this?
	Nowhere.
	Nowhere at all.
	This is, you know, this is taking a bad situation and making it even worse.
	You know, we're talking about the O.J. Simpson thing made me think.
	Karen's story, I've told this once before, I think.
	She used to twirl for the New York Jets.
	This is before they came up with the oversexed cheerleader thing, right?
	She was very good at baton twirling.
	Actually got a college scholarship to do that.
	But anyway, didn't take it.
	Went to Tampa so she could meet me.
	But this is at a time when O.J. Simpson was playing and their team was visiting.
	She was with the New York Jets.
	And she was in high school at the time.
	Joe Namath was very famous, and he had been injured, and he was on the sidelines at the game and not playing, and he was on crutches, and he was wearing purple velvet pants, right?
	Red.
	Red velvet pants, okay.
	And so she's back in the maze of tunnels that they've got there and everything, and she sees...
	I just saw Joe Namath.
	And then goes running to tell the other ones that were there, the other women that were there were older.
	And they started laughing and said, do you know who that is that you just did?
	That's O.J. Simpson.
	And she said, who's he?
	She didn't follow football at all, even though she was there.
	Well, when we're talking about bringing in the Indian doctors, it turns out that in Indian prisons, the caste system is rigorously enforced there.
	You know, some societies are better than other societies, aren't they?
	What they have these Indian prisoners doing, if they are a lower caste, They are barred from cooking food, and they are forced to clean the excrement of their betters.
	This is part of the Hindu caste system, the hierarchy that is there.
	And you've heard Dr. Shiva talk about that.
	He was on the other end of that.
	And, you know, you get locked into something that's much worse than the class system, even that used to be in Europe so much.
	One person, lower caste, To his shock, he was directed to clean the drains.
	He said, I protested.
	I tried talking to authorities to assign me cutting and chopping work, but they would not listen to me.
	And I was asked to clean the drains out, he said.
	The jail manual there clearly mentions that, quote, religious scruples and caste prejudices are important for reformative influences.
	A separate chapter there says, Reasonable respect shall be paid to religious scruples and cast prejudices of the prisoners in all matters as far as it is compatible with discipline.
	So, in other words, they're going to enforce that Hindu religion on everyone.
	And, you know, this type of, you know, it really does matter.
	It forms a basis for all of our culture.
	It forms a basis for our laws.
	It is at the fountainhead of all of it.
	By the way, Eric, thank you very much for the tip.
	I appreciate that on RockFan.
	Thank you so much.
	So, as we all know, AI is coming for us.
	And it wants more and more details of our intimate life.
	And, of course, Sam Altman is out there pushing it.
	He says there will be a very significant change to the way the world works and the way that the world works in a very short period of time.
	Because people like him want to redesign it.
	People like Elon Musk want to redesign it.
	In terms of looking at people's intimate details, maybe he shouldn't throw stones in this glass house.
	Sam Altman has just been accused by his sister of sexual assault.
	This is the guy who is going around Washington saying, don't allow anybody else to do artificial intelligence.
	It needs to be just a few corporations.
	And that's what Andreessen, the venture capitalist, said when he met with people in the Biden administration.
	They said, forget about artificial intelligence.
	we've decided who's going to do that.
	And we're going to keep it off limits.
	He goes, you can't keep it off limits.
	I said, oh yes, we can.
	We have in the past had entire disciplines of science that we've kept off limits to people.
	He said, so I learned a couple of things right there.
	And he said, it meant that I was going to oppose the Biden administration.
	But do you think it was the Biden administration that did that?
	It's the people who, Biden wasn't running that White House.
	Trump's not going to be running that White House anymore.
	He's just their petulant puppet.
	That is out there stirring things up and creating chaos.
	And Biden, the people who were telling that to Mark Andreessen, and he got his beginning by doing Netscape, the first browsers that were out there.
	He made a lot of money, and now he's a venture capitalist doing a lot of other things.
	But these are people that have been around for a long time that he was talking to.
	These are people that were probably a part of that redlining of certain Scientific and mathematical activities.
	They're the ones who are the actual government.
	You know, the ones that you don't get to vote for.
	The ones that are not accountable to you.
	The ones who are actually the real government in the background.
	Places like Palantir, for example.
	The data mining that is going on there, and we don't have time to get into it, but LifeSite News.
	Talks about it in terms of what you need to know about Palantir.
	I've done reports on Palantir.
	I've played them multiple times on here.
	They seek to know everything about you, the most intimate details.
	They even use the Palantir from Lord of the Rings.
	In that way.
	You think that you're communicating with other people, but no, that thing is actually looking into your life.
	And Palantir has been there from the very beginning, not just in artificial intelligence, but in the other AI. Anticipatory intelligence.
	They have worked with the military abroad.
	They've worked with police departments here.
	And when you combine all of that stuff with a massive surveillance network, again, a public-private partnership.
	The massive surveillance of the flock cameras that are everywhere.
	You know, if there's any arson, if they wanted to look at it, I'm sure they've got the footage right there.
	If they wanted to see the arson, just like everything else.
	Just like what happened in Vegas.
	They've got the footage if they wanted to show people that.
	That's very suspicious, isn't it?
	Well, that's it for the weekend.
	We'll see you on Monday.
	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.
	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.
