Thank you.
Thank you.
The David Knight Show.
The David Knight Show.
And we're going to take a look at This is Pagan
Society.
We'll be right back.
Stay with us.
Stay with us.
Stay with us.
It's the key thing that's being talked about.
Of course, there's a lot of conspiracy theories about it.
Continuity of government was mentioned, and it was really strange that Trump appeared to have never heard of that, really.
You haven't heard of the plan to save yourself and let everybody else die?
They don't tell you about that first thing when you take office.
Oh, by the way, here are the people from the CIA. We're going to show you a film from the JFK assassination.
And then on the other side, on the positive side, we've got a plan to save you and let everybody else die.
He apparently had not heard of that.
A lot of people are putting up videos of how this helicopter was...
They did a demonstration not long ago showing how they could remote control it.
Is that new as well?
You know, even at the very beginning, when you had the...
Who knows what happened on 9-11?
I just know that what the government said happened did not happen.
So, you know, whether you think that it was really planes that took down the buildings, that's the one thing I would definitely rule out.
Whether you want to say that it was projected planes or whether they were planes that were flown by people into the building, whether they were...
Remotely controlled and flown into it.
That was not something people had talked about prior to that.
But as I pointed out, many times they had been conducting safety tests for airline crashes.
You know, you get the pictures of them just like they do with automobile crashes where they drive them at different speeds into a wall or they have an offset collision with something.
And they've got cameras all around the outside, but of course they have cameras on the inside of the car so that you can see what's happening to the crash dummies.
Well, they did that with airplanes as well, commercial jets.
They could fly them remotely and crash them.
It's been going on for decades.
That's how they safety tested them.
Anyway, a lot of different things.
If you want to think it's a directed energy weapon or if you want to think that it was pre-planted explosives or whatever.
I'm not going to argue with any of that stuff.
I just know that it wasn't the planes that brought it down.
It didn't have three buildings, steel skyscrapers, collapsed directly into the footprint when only two of them was even hit by a plane.
So, you know, the autonomous control of a plane, did that go wrong?
Was it on autopilot?
Was somebody remotely piloting it or whatever?
The continuity of government, I don't know, let's just throw that out and everybody starts cranking the theories.
Was it the fact that they were understaffed?
And was it Trump's fault for all of this?
And now another theory has come out that we'll take a look at.
But, you know, it is kind of interesting, I think.
And some reactions from some Christian leaders that are out there.
And they said, if your first response to a tragedy like this is, who can we blame?
You need to get some help.
And I'm not talking about psychiatric help.
We're talking about some real help, some real help from Christ.
The reality is that when we see people suddenly die, and it's become a thing now, hasn't it?
We should, when we see a pattern of this, obviously, we should ask a question about it.
People die suddenly all the time from automobile accidents.
You can be a billionaire, and you can be spending tens of millions of dollars.
Like that one guy does.
He's constantly working out.
He's doing everything he can think of to try to cheat death.
Maybe he'll get it.
Maybe he'll cheat death for a couple of decades.
Maybe he won't.
And, you know, he could do all the work out.
He could get all the blood transfusions from his young son that he wants to do.
He's doing that as well.
He can do all that stuff and he could be on a plane that crashes or he could be in a car that crashes and he could die instantly.
And so, when we look at this, yes, we should look if there is a pattern of car crashes at a particular intersection, we need to do something about it.
If there is a pattern of deaths and heart attacks for young children that we've never seen before because of a Trump shot, yes, we should be concerned about it.
And a lot of these people are talking about it.
Not concerned.
Not concerned.
But, isn't it...
Isn't that something that we always do?
Don't we always look at this and say, well, what did that person die of?
Okay, well, okay, I don't do that.
Well, that's good.
They were a chain smoker.
They died of lung cancer.
All right, I don't do that.
So that's good.
That's good.
Okay.
Or maybe they died of something else.
And that might be something that you do consume or some practice that you do do, right?
Or something like that.
So we always look at that because we're always, We're cognizant of our mortality, aren't we?
But do we think about what comes next?
And so we've got a lot of Christian leaders who are talking about this.
I said it's very telling that national media conversations so quickly turn to who is at fault here and what policy is going to be changed here.
And that, I think, is a symptom of our obsession with politics over everything else.
And the weaponized, tribalized politics that we now have, trying to push us into a civil war with each other, doing a pretty good job.
Anyway, Al Mohler said, things can get quite quickly out of proportion.
As Christians, we have to do our best to put them back into proportion.
What we're talking about here is the loss of nearly 70 human lives.
We also understand that every single human life on that plane...
Was a human being made in the image of God, and thus, they're not merely an aviation collision statistic.
In the meantime, it does point out and underline once again in tragic but indelible terms what is at stake in the difference between life and death, and just how quickly, in the space of an instant, the difference between life and death can be just about everything.
The passengers on that airline were preparing to get off the plane and to get on with their business.
They were approaching and therefore landing.
Their seats were even in the upright position.
The crew was concentrating on landing the plane safely and the military crew had its own assignment.
The fact is, all of that changed in an instant.
A humbling realization for us all.
That's absolutely right.
One thing I would disagree with them on.
I don't like to speak about the difference between life and death.
I like the way that C.S. Lewis put it.
He said, it should take us back to look at, he said, there's no such thing as ordinary mortals.
He said, you look at the people on the street.
We don't know.
But some of those people, we don't know which is which, but some of those people are going to become some of the most glorious things beyond your imagination.
You'd be tempted to bow down.
And worship.
And others will become such hideous things that you would run away in fright.
Which will it be?
That's the issue.
See, it's not a difference between life and death.
There are no mortals here.
We have an immortal spirit.
What will happen to that spirit?
And that's the issue.
It's the difference between this life and eternity.
And you can step into eternity.
Any moment like that, right?
Who knows when that is going to happen for any of us.
You had Greg Laurie said, why did God allow this to happen?
That's also the question that people ask.
And the answer is that we all deserve God's judgment.
The answer is that it is the mercy of God giving us all more time.
And it is His mercy that has spared us, and His purposes are the things that we cannot understand.
God is His own interpreter, and He will make it clear in time, as the song, God Moves in Mysterious Ways, says.
He says, so why did God allow this to happen?
I don't have an answer.
I don't.
But I do know who we can turn to.
Greg Laurie said to turn to Jesus in moments of sorrow and uncertainty, the source of our comfort, our strength, our hope.
May God bring peace to those who are mourning, and may this tragedy remind us all of the brevity of life none of us are promised tomorrow.
And if you've not yet placed your faith in Christ, now is the time.
So, as he points out, life is short.
Even if this billionaire Extends his life, let's say 50 years.
That's pretty impressive, right?
He could extend his life.
Let's say he lived to 125. This is the goal of a lot of these transhumanists.
I could live to 125. Okay.
And then where are you going to spend eternity?
You live to 969 years like Methuselah.
Then where are you going to spend eternity?
It's just any incremental thing that you can add to it.
You can't add a minute to your life.
An inch to your stature.
You can't add any hairs to your head, legitimately.
Some people with enough money have done that type of thing.
But I haven't added any hairs to my head.
As a matter of fact, a few of them have left.
And then this guy, Joseph Backholm, a senior fellow at the Family Research Council, he said, if your first response to this tragedy was obviously DEI, which is Trump's, or Trump froze hiring on the air traffic controllers.
He says, please seek help.
No, you need to look to Christ.
But I think it is legitimate, after some time has passed, for us to question what happened.
Because we don't want it to happen again, right?
That is something that was, some way or the other, up to human actions.
Is there something that can be done about it?
Many people have pointed out that's an incredibly busy corridor.
Of air traffic.
And they've increasingly done helicopter flights there.
Politicians are flying and military is flying there all the time with helicopters right there where they're just a few hundred feet, really, away from planes when everything is going well.
And so they're operating this in a very, very tight corridor.
And not really any room for error.
When they talk about an air traffic controller doing the job of two people.
I see air traffic controllers under a lot of stress, and I always think back to airplane and the role of Lloyd Bridges, whereas here's straight up.
He's freaking out with us.
Anyway, it's a difficult, stressful job, no doubt about it.
A lot of lives are at stake.
But the way this is set up, They have so much helicopter traffic there that they typically had one air traffic controller just to handle the helicopter traffic and another one to handle the commercial jets that are coming in, or private jets, I guess.
A lot of private jets, too, probably.
And they didn't have two different people, one for the helicopters, one for the planes on that day.
That's what they're talking about with two people.
Is that something that happened because of Trump?
I don't think there's been enough time for that to actually happen.
So I would not blame Trump for that.
And you know, it's interesting.
At the beginning of the Reagan administration, there was an air traffic controller issue as well.
I barely remember it.
I didn't go back and do any research on it.
But from my recollection, which is now 45 years old, it was a strike over wages, I think.
And they were going to stop working and shut down.
Air traffic.
And Reagan hung in there tough and said, well, if you strike, I'm going to fire you because you're in a critical position here.
You don't have a right to strike.
And so that was a big deal at the beginning of the Reagan administration.
And he won out.
Criticism, I don't think criticism is going to, of this particular case, you know, I don't think that's going to turn Trump back on any of the reductions in staff, and I think that's a good thing.
I agree with him on doing the staff reductions.
I think it's a really good thing.
I think it's a great thing to buy people off, but all these people say, look at this, immediately he's telling people, you know, take a buyout.
But he was saying, you're going to, you can continue to work until September, and then we'll, you know, give you a buyout.
So this isn't anything.
That happened right away.
And it's not a situation of people working from home.
If that were the case, we know exactly who to blame whoever set up that system.
We can't do air traffic control from home.
Maybe we could get the guy who plays video games for Elon Musk.
He's busted for that, obviously.
He was live during inauguration events while his surrogate...
Was out there playing video games in his name, but, you know, that's...
So, none of that holds any water.
So, does the DEI stuff hold any water?
Well, some things have come out about this.
And a lot of people have been tweeting about this.
This particular tweet is from Mike Deporch.
He says, so now we're learning that the pilot...
Our co-pilot female, quote-unquote, who was on the Blackhawk is actually a transgender, who wrote a very long letter one day prior about gender dysphoria and depression.
And here is the, let's see, I've got the picture right here.
There it is.
There you can see him, all dressed up as a woman.
This is the tweet from DePort.
She says, identified as Chief Warrant Officer, Joe Ellis, dropping the E to be a tranny, served in the Virginia National Guard for 15 years and transitioned while serving as a pilot.
So this is somebody who was depressed, a depressed tranny committing suicide.
Joe Ellis had been making radicalized statements about Trump on social media.
Was this a suicide mission?
That's what the flight radar data literally shows.
There were near collisions with three other planes before the final impact with a fourth plane.
And let me show you that.
This is a silent video.
But you can see the red looks like a plane, but that's a helicopter.
Look at that, how close.
A near crash.
And then you see the jiggly line there of the flight pattern of the helicopter.
Now it heads straight on.
To another plane, right?
Missed that one.
Now look at this.
Very erratic moves back and forth.
And looked like it made a sudden lurch towards that third plane.
And now here comes the fourth plane.
And look at this.
It's making erratic moves over the Potomac.
And here comes this fourth plane.
And I'm sorry, that was not the fourth plane.
There's one more plane coming up.
Now it moved toward the airport.
Now it cuts back.
Very erratic moves.
You can see the flight path of that thing.
And there's the collision right there.
So, what was going on with that?
Was it incompetence?
Was it suicide?
Was somebody fighting over the controls?
I mean, you're seeing some really, you know, lurching towards the plane, and then at the last minute, lurching back away in that flight pattern.
I would say at this point, that looks like what it is.
I think that's the most convincing evidence right there.
Now, the question will be, you know, it's always, well, we've got to mutilate children because otherwise they might commit suicide.
And that's actually making it go up much, much higher.
Suicide rate, as we'll talk about here.
But will the LGBT blame the suicide on Trump saying he's going to get trans out of the military?
And that'll be an interesting political move for them.
I don't know if that's going to necessarily make their case.
It might make the case that they're mentally unstable.
It might actually make Trump's case that they should not be in the military in the first place.
Remember MASH? Remember Klinger?
Who was dressing up like a woman all the time?
Not because he identified with a woman or any of that other kind of nonsense.
He was trying to get a Section 8. Because...
Prior to just the last couple of years, if somebody who is a man thinks he's a woman, you're insane.
Now you are worshipped.
But Section 8 was to declare him as mentally incompetent and get him out of the military.
All he wanted to do was get out of the military.
So he got into women's clothes so that he could get out of the military with a Section 8. So if they want to double down on this and do this, I don't think that's going to help them.
I think people have had enough of this gaslighting and this nonsense at this point.
But, RuPaul's Drag Race star, Jinx Monsoon, predicts public revolt over Trump's trans-military ban.
You really think so?
I don't think so at all.
You know, for the longest time, we've said, government is revolting, why aren't you?
I think that was actually a t-shirt we had in the Libertarian Party.
Well, the trainees are revolting.
Why aren't you?
Why aren't you revolting against this nonsense?
And this is what this guy says.
He said, right now is the farthest we've come.
Well, I would agree with that.
And if they think the people will willingly go back into the shadows, I mean, TV would suck without us.
Like the viewership lately?
I mean, we're going to talk about some of the Super Bowl commercials and coming up and how expensive they are.
And one of the categories is just going down.
The movies are so bad.
Nobody's going to the movies that the movies are not really even going to be big in terms of advertising.
Why?
Because they're pushing LGBT and everybody is sick and tired of this nonsense.
And so they're not watching the movies.
Why are they watching?
Sports.
Sports.
Because TV sucks.
Because of them.
Because of them, because of Hollywood pushing and pushing and pushing this LGBT agenda on us.
We find it revolting, frankly.
And here is, even CNN, even CNN is, you'll watch this woman, this is the look on the face of the CNN interviewer of this guy.
Who is saying that we need to have trainees in the military.
There is no evidence.
Anywhere that has been presented that transgender service members are anything but qualified to be a part of our military service.
The military is the largest employer of transgender Americans.
You heard up to 14,000, 15,000 members identify as trans, and 56 of our retired generals have said that our trans members are ready to serve.
They are fit to serve.
This will only...
Make our military less ready to serve by taking 15,000 people who volunteered out of service.
So, the order also talks about, as Natasha noted, this fact sheet.
It said it can take a minimum of 12 months for an individual to complete treatments after transition surgery, which often involves the use of heavy narcotics.
During this period, they are not physically capable of meeting military readiness requirements and require ongoing medical care.
This is not conducive for deployment or other readiness requirements.
This is CNN pushing back.
I wanted to get your response to that, but also I spoke to Chris Beck on the phone this morning.
You may remember him.
He was a Navy SEAL.
Yeah, Michael Flynn.
Who became a transgender woman and then he transitioned back.
He told me he agrees what President Trump is doing and said, quote, "They're 100% unfit for duty.
They're on pills and different surgeries, and you have complications with surgeries.
You cannot deploy even if you have tooth issues." I guess I couldn't send Karen in.
What do you say to all of that?
I would say that those are decisions that are best made by doctors and patients, including military doctors.
This is another version of our political, discriminatory MAGA Republicans trying to use pseudoscience to discriminate against an entire demographic of people.
Yeah, and again, she looks at it like, hmm, I'm not buying this.
Even the CNN reporter is not buying it.
It's just common sense.
And I don't know, even if they don't have a toothache, and they can theoretically deploy, do they have to do their makeup before they leave?
That's what I want to know.
I mean, how's my makeup?
Do I look okay?
It's insane.
This is absolutely insane.
You've got a job to do.
It's like Sam Brinton.
And Dick Devine.
They've called himself Rachel.
It's Richard Levine, I think.
Look, if that's what you want to do, if you want to do cosplay all of your life, go do cosplay.
Become an actor or something.
They love!
They're looking for a lot of people like you because that's what they want to fill their movies with.
By the way, you talk about how crazy Hollywood is.
And I haven't seen it.
I don't know whether it's a good movie or not.
But they wouldn't even consider the Ronald Reagan movie that had Dennis Quaid in it.
Wouldn't even consider it for any nominations for anything.
Nothing.
Why?
Well, because it didn't meet the DEI requirements of Hollywood.
They didn't have any trainees around with Reagan or anything.
How could we possibly give it an award?
I mean, there's no trainees in 1980. It's absolutely insane.
And of course, we talk about Chris Beck.
I've shown many times, I don't have it on the board today, Michael Flynn boasting and virtue signaling with Chris Beck, who was calling himself Kristen and had hair like that guy, you know, at the time.
And this is Michael Flynn in 2014 or 2015, but it was second year that the...
Pentagon had been pushing DEI, and Michael Flynn was pushing it back then.
He's now reinventing himself.
Don't trust this guy.
He is an intel agent who will lie to you up one side and down the other.
He reinvented himself.
He's calling himself a Christian while he's leading people in occultic prayers to ascended masters at churches.
And the MAGA people are just like, yeah, every word.
It's just amazing.
The stuff that Michael Flynn has pushed.
And Chris Beck now says, look, they did this to me as an adult, as a Navy SEAL. They did this to me.
You know, people like Michael Flynn pushed him to do it.
And he said he was adamant that you not do this to kids.
You not do it to kids.
So if you want adults, want to go do this, go do your thing.
Stay away from nuclear reactors.
Stay away from the government.
Stay away from helicopters.
Stay away from the military.
Go do your thing, whatever that is, because that's all you're interested in, right?
But leave the kids alone.
Leave these kids alone.
So, getting back to the Monsoon character.
He's previously accused conservatives of using children.
As political shields in their debate over child grooming, he said, what the GOP is doing is objectively evil.
Wow.
Wow.
What is his standard for evil?
I look at what the Bible says, and the Bible says that what he is doing is objectively evil.
I mean, it checks.
It checks more boxes and God's evil than their diversity and equity boxes.
If you were a black, lesbian, left-handed, whatever, you know, I mean, it checks all the boxes, what they're doing, all the boxes.
So, especially the kid targeting with this stuff.
This is a post by, this is on New York Post, a whistleblower.
I am a trans clinic whistleblower.
And they said Trump is right to ban the sex changes for kids.
Who knew?
Who knew this was wrong?
Why did this go on for so long?
I'm glad that he's doing it.
And isn't it amazing how focused Biden has been on all this stuff?
I think we need to stop calling them Democrats and call them this party the demon crap party.
Because that's all it offers us is demonic crap.
It's all we get from the Democrats anymore.
They're so focused on killing kids, mutilating kids.
President Trump is pushing gender-confused kids to commit suicide.
Is he doing that?
This shocking claim hit mainstream and social media within minutes of the President's January 28th executive order banning federal funding for child sex change treatments.
That is an oxymoron.
There should never, as I said, I'm glad that they're doing that.
I'm glad that they're banning the funding of it.
Why aren't they banning the practice of it?
And as I said, I know that this is really a state issue.
You know, abortion is a state issue.
Always has been.
That's why I said you could have stopped tens of millions of babies from being murdered.
They would have still killed them in New York and California, but you could have stopped them in most of the rest of the country if they just stood up to the Supreme Court that had no authority to make that.
So, you know, I don't want every problem solved in Washington because what happens is Washington is the biggest problem.
And if you give them the pass, just like this executive order stuff, right?
We're going to have the country whipsawed from one election to the next because they're going to be ruled by executive order, or are we going to have actually the rule of law?
Are we going to have principles?
Are we going to have a constitution?
Are we just going to have dictates?
That's what a dictator is.
The law is in my mouth.
I'm going to dictate what the law is.
I don't want that kind of a system.
And so I think that this needs to be banned.
I think they need to identify the parents who do this to their kids, who allow this to be done to their kids.
I think that that is one issue that needs to be, you know, I think the government needs to leave parents alone.
But if the parents are physically, sexually abusing their children, and that's what this is, this is both physical and sexual and spiritual abuse that they're doing to them.
So the way the argument goes, if kids can't get puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones and surgeries, their mental health will deteriorate to the point of no return.
Prove it.
Prove it.
It's never happened.
As a matter of fact, it's just the opposite.
That's what the whistleblower says.
As I've seen, while working with more than a thousand such kids, there are deeper reasons why they're so unhappy.
And giving them powerful experimental drugs, drugs that we used to use and still do, To chemically castrate rapists.
And giving them irreversible surgeries is more likely to worsen their condition.
Who would have thought?
As a lifelong Democrat who has had many reservations about Trump, I can still admit that these kids need the protections that he just announced.
Now he needs to make sure that his order is fully enacted and vigorously enforced.
From 2018 to 2022, I worked as a case manager for the Washington University Transgender Center at St. Louis Children's Hospital.
My responsibilities included both patient intake and oversight of their medical journey, so I worked with virtually all the young children who walked through the clinic's doors.
Like everyone who worked there, I firmly believe that if we didn't quickly move them toward a medically induced sex change, they'd soon find themselves contemplating suicide.
That's what the science said, right?
Actually, no, they didn't have any science for that.
At first, I had no doubts about the morality of my work.
But as kids kept coming back for follow-up check-ins and treatment, almost every kid who begins puberty blockers goes on to receive cross-sex hormones.
I realized something was very wrong.
Well, my colleagues and I asked about their mental health.
They usually reported that it was the same or better.
But if we dug deeper, it became clear that the real answer was no, that their mental anguish was worsening.
I lost track of how many times I learned that a kid was no longer leaving their family home, not even leaving their own bedroom.
Others missed these milestones because that their peers had achieved from getting that first job to graduating from high school.
Some literally couldn't look themselves in the mirror, even if they physically looked the part of a boy turned girl or vice versa.
If the kids didn't say it, their parents often did.
They, too, had been told that a sex change would make their child happy again.
So why did their new son or their old daughter spend every day crying in the bathroom?
The more kids and families I worked with, the clearer it became that our clinic was ruining young lives.
We ignored or explained away comorbidities like autism, depression, bipolar disorder, while using every new development or difficulty in a kid's life to justify continuing down the sex change road.
After four years, when I could no longer stand the cognitive dissonance, I became the industry's first public whistleblower.
And you know, we've had whistleblowers at the Tavistock Center in the UK that push this stuff on kids who can't make a decision like that.
They don't have the maturity.
Their brain doesn't work the right way.
They're dealing with all kinds of things.
Peer pressure, trying to figure out how they fit in the world and how they fit with their peers, even as their body is going through puberty and that type of thing.
It's heinous what they're doing to these kids.
It really is.
And I've said it before.
People want to look back at this with an abhorrent look, in the same way that we look at frontal lobotomies now.
There is no excuse for this.
This is insane.
But anyway, I said, we're going to say, after talking with peers who worked in similar clinics across the country, I believe my experience is not the exception, it is the norm.
Why is the media portrayal of these kids so different?
Well, he says, part of the answer is junk science.
No.
No.
It's not junk science.
This is deception, folks.
This is outright deception.
It is spiritual war that we're dealing with here.
It is pure evil that we're dealing with, if you're going to do this to kids.
Kids that we know, they can't make up their mind.
They're not mature enough to drive a car, own a gun, drink alcohol, not even get a tattoo.
Even with their parents' permission in the majority of states.
So why would we let them mutilate themselves?
Why would we give them this horrific surgery that's going to plague them the rest of their life?
Can't even go to the bathroom properly.
Why would we let adults do this?
Why would we let Planned Parenthood do this to kids?
How evil.
How evil.
If they can't rip a child to pieces before they're born.
They rip them to pieces later on.
I mean, it is the heart of demonic evil that is there.
And I'm not exaggerating.
I'm not saying demonic evil in a hyperbole.
I mean, literally.
Literally demonic evil.
Real demons that are operating these people.
So, again, how could we ever have justified this?
And when you look at the schools, the schools, look at how the government is tied into this.
You know, the schools are one of the key places where they gaslight them, using peer pressure and all the rest of this stuff.
Of course, media is a part of it, entertainment is a part of it, but it's especially, especially the schools.
So, Senator Hawley has proposed a bill.
To let victims of child gender transitions sue those who are responsible.
I've got questions about this because there's already lawsuits happening about this.
We've already had one of the key advocates of this, one of the doctors, has been sued by a woman who is now in her early 20s, had a double mastectomy done on her and how she was gaslit and damaged with the chemicals and the surgeries and the rest of this stuff.
As I was saying before, you know, we talk about Tavistock in the UK. There were whistleblowers that came out of Tavistock.
Even in the UK, as liberal and politically correct and woke and all the other adjectives that you want to throw at, as the UK is, they have shut down Tavistock.
Why are we still doing this stuff?
Because in America, we abuse kids more than any other country in Western civilization.
Just look at the vaccines.
Look at the pandemic.
We're masking kids.
Isolating kids.
You know, putting things over their face, keeping them away from other people and closing them in plastic.
Then we vaccinated them with a COVID thing.
Vaccinate them with now 75 injections.
Does the American government and the American institutions, do they hate children?
Yes.
What is that an indication of?
Yeah, it really is.
So the issue is that...
They already have the right to sue.
This is not anything, it's a civil case.
Now, you know, Trump has said, yeah, that'll be able to sue.
So, Josh Hawley, who's a lawyer, brings this out, says, well, if this happened when the individual is a minor, they may bring civil action against an individual or an entity responsible for this.
They've already got the right to do that.
We've already got bills that are out there.
I think they should be able to do that, and of course they are able to do it.
So I don't really understand if there's something else about this.
The bill, though, also prohibits federal funding for any pediatric gender clinic or any institution of higher education or hospital that hosts, operates, partners with, provides funding to, or is otherwise affiliated with, a pediatric gender clinic or for any gender transition procedure.
Performed in a minor.
Well, that's good.
And that's kind of along the lines of Trump's executive order as well.
And so what he's saying is, you know, well, since we're going to be ruled by executive order, the next guy can just reverse this.
Why don't you put this in a law?
So essentially that's, I think, what Josh Hawley is doing here.
And so the MAGA people will cheer Trump for this, and they should.
This is the right thing to do.
But they have selective amnesia.
They don't remember that he...
When he was bribing people.
He didn't say, I'm going to cut off your funding.
That was Biden who did that.
But Biden was saying, I'm going to cut off the bonuses that Trump gave you for killing people in the hospitals.
They don't want to talk about that.
And that's the way this always works.
It's always bribes or blackmail.
It's always bribes and then coerce people.
Blackmail.
I'm going to take away that money that Trump gave you if you don't do this.
Anyway, our children should no longer suffer.
From irreversible and dangerous child mutilation procedures, said Holly.
And again, my question is, why was that ever allowed?
And why are state governments not looking at this as parental abuse?
Of course, I played the clips and said it was parental abuse when Tim Waltz was doing it.
They had a big event where they brought in all these parents, brought in the kids that they were gaslighting and abusing.
And held him out there as if it was something that's really wonderful.
And remember that reporter who talked to that six-year-old boy that they were telling him he was a girl?
You know, and the kid couldn't even respond.
And the reporter's like, oh, this is wonderful.
It's like, that's the most disgusting situation of child abuse I've seen.
They get, in Trump's first term, they're all focused on child trafficking and Jeffrey Epstein and stuff.
Again, I don't have any doubt that that takes place.
But when we've got this happening in the schools that we're paying property taxes on, we can't stop it.
Studies show that more than 80% of children who supposedly suffer from gender dysphoria outgrow it on their own by late adolescence, and the transition procedures fail to resolve this.
It actually heightens the tendency to engage in self-harm and suicide.
It actually causes what they say they're going to try to stop.
And as even Bill Maher said, why is it that all the kids in California are in the wrong bodies, but it's not happening in the Midwest?
Well, it's because none of them are in the wrong bodies.
We're going to take a break, and when we come back, we're going to talk about personhood for a mountain and other things.
So we're going to take a quick break, folks, and we will be...
Right back.
Stop the breathing.
We are almost 9 billion people.
Please stop believing right now.
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.
And Psalm 144, thank you very much for the tip.
I really do appreciate that.
The gas gauge right now is at 75%, and I haven't pressed it because for the last one, everything's been happening, and a lot of people have asked about Karen's condition.
She's still in a lot of pain with the ankle and also with the tooth that she had to have pulled.
So last week was an amazing week and continuing on with this.
We did get the heater fixed, so finally the HVAC is working again now where we are.
But she was freezing cold, a busted ankle, broken ankle, and we're hoping that she's not going to have surgery, so we'd appreciate your prayers for healing.
And then had to have an emergency tooth extraction.
So it's been a rough week.
Didn't get to pick up and do the contributions by mail.
So I don't know exactly where we are.
We're at about 75%.
Hopefully it'll be better than that.
But we really do appreciate your tip.
Thank you very much.
He said, I support the onesies.
Bernie freaked out on that.
The other day, your Freudian slip of criminally reliable.
I said that instead of criminally liable, but they are reliably criminal, aren't they?
Well, it's actually true, because we can always rely on them to be criminal.
How is Karen again?
And is Whistler getting any better?
Yeah, he's doing the show, and he can set up now, I mean, for a couple of months.
I mean, he couldn't even get out of bed.
So now he's able to get out of bed.
He's able to walk a little bit.
If he does very much, it starts coming back in a big way in his hips and his ankles and everything.
It's just amazing what some antibiotic pills can do to you.
So we would appreciate your prayer for his full and complete healing.
THX 1138, 322. Oh, so, okay, we got the science fiction dystopia as well as Yale.
There we go.
Helicopter drove straight into the airplane.
I don't have to theorize.
I can see it.
Watch it for yourself.
The helicopter should never have been there.
The training was on the other side of the river.
Yeah, I could not really make it out that well, what it was doing.
But I think that air traffic control, that convinces me.
Looks like they were trying to do that multiple times.
Finally connected.
I think it was deliberate.
Absolutely deliberate.
Stephen Kaspar.
Why would they have the military aircraft passing through a takeoff or landing approach?
Well, because of politics.
You know, you've got so many politicians that are there, the White House there, and all the military people that are supporting them.
As I said before, it's such close quarters that they usually have a dedicated air traffic controller just for the helicopters.
You know, that was not happening at that point in time.
You can ask why the government does a lot of the stuff that it does that doesn't make any sense.
That's just another one of them.
OctoSpook.
Oh, missed that.
Okay.
And thank you very much, Dustin Helm.
I appreciate the tip.
Thank you.
Here we are.
OctoSpook.
We need to know who's on that plane.
I'm thinking that will provide some important clues.
I don't know.
At this point in time, I would just say that I think it was somebody who was deliberately trying to do it.
It looks like this person was suicidal.
Look, let's just understand, people who are transgender are not mentally stable.
That's why they used to get them out of the army, because you don't want to give weapons or helicopters or jets or bombs to people who are nuts.
They're nuts.
Whether they got nuts or not, they're nuts.
Junk silver.
Coming from the cretins who threw highly trained soldiers out because they wouldn't take the jab.
That's right.
Well, they don't want those kind of people.
They don't want people who have a moral foundation or who think critically.
They don't want that.
Ephesians 6.12.
TV shows like Bosom Buddies, movies like Mrs. Doubtfire, etc.
They've been at this for a very long time.
It's odd and funny.
Then it's normalized.
That's the way they always do it.
I would say Victor Victoria, too.
Julie Andrews was in that.
That's Hollywood.
Has been doing that for a very long time.
Alright, let's talk about personhood.
A New Zealand mountain is granted personhood, recognizing it as sacred for the Maori.
I remember years ago, there was this movie.
It had a ridiculous title.
The Man Who Went Up a Hill and Came Down a Mountain.
Remember that?
It had Hugh Grant in it, and he was a surveyor.
I think it was set in Wales, and it's a small town that's there.
And so he was going to survey this hill, and the question was, you know, they had identified it as a mountain, but he looks at it and is like, no, a mountain begins, we start calling something a mountain if it is this high, you know, whatever that line was.
And it was just under it, according to him.
And so that was the whole thing.
The back and forth between him and the villagers for them to try to get him to certify it as being an actual mountain.
But it wasn't the man, in spite of the title, the man didn't go up a hill and become a mountain up there.
He didn't become a mountain man or a mountain.
But here in New Zealand, they're actually granting personhood.
Rights and responsibilities of a human being to a mountain.
And it's not the first time they've done this either.
New Zealand is being taken over by the Maori.
And I love New Zealand.
It's a beautiful place.
Karen and I went there.
I'd actually heard some chatter about how, and this is in the late 90s, And this is, after Waco and Ruby Ridge, I started thinking, you know, I better get out of here.
The U.S. is crazy, and it's headed down a really bad path.
And I was right about that, but I was wrong about the idea that maybe New Zealand would be any better.
So we went to New Zealand.
We had a wonderful time.
Stayed for a few weeks.
I met with some people, some of them who were in radio, and I wasn't in radio at the time either.
It's just somebody that was in radio.
Through the libertarians that were in New Zealand and that type of thing.
And I met with them for, Karen and I met with them for dinner.
And we had a, we'd scheduled a guy who was like the Rush Limbaugh of New Zealand.
But he canceled at the last minute.
But we still talked to the other people.
And so the dinner was kind of, well, you think your country's bad.
This is what happens here.
You know, we're going back and forth as to what was happening.
So they finally convinced me that New Zealand was even worse than the U.S. So we didn't move there.
But that was in, I think, 1998. But they were fascinated with the Maori.
And I thought that was kind of interesting, you know.
The Maori really gave the British a run for their money.
They had earthen forts.
And as we see with Fort Fisher in North Carolina that withstood the biggest naval bombardment in history up to that point in time by a long shot.
And I think it was equivalent to some of the biggest naval bombardments even in World War I. And it was an earthen fort at Fort Fisher.
And they couldn't take out the Maori's forts because there were earthen forts as well with all of their stuff.
And so, you know, they had a hard time.
The Maori would, when they would get their weapons, would pretty quickly figure out how to use them and use them back against them.
And they were cannibals as well.
And they still celebrate that culture, which I thought was really strange.
You know, the tattoos and the...
The cannibalism stuff that they kind of wink and nod at.
And you see them do the dance, and they're stomping their feet and all that kind of stuff.
They do that.
And they did that in their legislative body as well.
This place is really going pagan.
Now we see this.
And it's not the first time they've done this.
They've given some inanimate object, personhood.
They have now named this thing Mount Taranaki.
It's Maori name.
And they, why don't you just call it McKinley?
The latest natural feature to be granted personhood in New Zealand, which has previously ruled that a river and a stretch of sacred land were people before.
This is paganism.
New Zealand is leaving Christianity.
I mean, you look at Christ Church.
uh one of the um uh cities that was there's a beautiful little english type city it had this meandering river that was running through it and and you know you see the uh in in the uk you see pictures of people they call it punting where they've got like a small little boat and you got a guy with a pole and you pay him he takes you for a ride and they got a little straw brim hats oh like i'm very very english - Yeah.
And yet now it's going full pagan.
And they don't know the difference between inanimate objects and people created in the image of God.
Isn't that interesting?
This is this kind of, it's inherent with paganism.
And yet, personhood.
Personhood is at the core of the arguments for or against slavery in this country.
Well, you know, these slaves that we got here, they're not fully persons.
Well, the baby's not really a person either, right?
And that's the situation in New Zealand.
They've got very liberal abortion laws.
Really, no penalties at all at any point in time.
Theoretically, it's limited to before 20 weeks.
But if you do it after 20 weeks, as long as you get a note from the doctor, you're fine.
And nobody's ever been criminally prosecuted for it, even at full term.
So the babies are not persons.
But the mountain's a person.
The lake is a person.
The river is a person.
The law passed Thursday.
Gives Taranaki all the rights, powers, duties, responsibilities, and liabilities of a person.
The law views the mountain as, quote, a living and indivisible whole.
This is pure paganism.
Western civilization is being removed off of its Christian foundations, and this is the kind of insanity that we can expect.
A newly created entity will be the face and the voice of the mountain, the law says.
They will have four members from the local Maori tribes and four members appointed by the country's conservation ministry.
These will be people who are advocates for the mountain, and they will speak for the mountain as we have liberals always be advocates for the environment or for inanimate objects here in the U.S. The mountain has long been an honored ancestor, they say.
And here's the amazing thing.
It passed unanimously.
Unanimously in the legislature.
Today, Taranaki is released from the shackles of injustice, of ignorance, and of hate.
Ignorance?
I don't know.
Don't you be racist to mountains.
I hate mountains.
Who hates mountains?
I think that would be the height of racism, wouldn't it?
To be a racist against a mountain.
The bill recognizing this, again, passed unanimously.
These people have lost their minds.
And yet when we look at what is happening in Colorado, Colorado is always at the forefront of this type of stuff.
I mean, we've seen them go after Baker over and over again in Colorado, and it's the Colorado government doing it.
Colorado pro-life nurse.
is now under investigation for offering abortion pill reversal.
So it's okay to kill a baby, and we're going to celebrate that.
But if you help somebody who takes the pill and then changes their mind and does a reversal of this pill, oh, now we're going to come after you.
It's not malpractice to take a life.
It's malpractice now to save a life.
This is the upside-down result that we get from these people, this demonic crap party that's running Colorado.
They're threatening the medical license of a nurse who helped save pre-born babies by educating their conflicted mothers about an abortion pill reversal method.
It is perfectly safe.
So it's bitterly opposed by the child killers of Planned Parenthood and the Democrat Party of Colorado.
And the Washington Examiner, McKenna Green, relayed the story of how, out of fear for the life-changing impact of a second child, she took the pill for chemical abortion, but she, quote, immediately regretted it, unquote.
And she went online for a way to save her child.
She found the Abortion Pill Rescue Network, which put her in touch with area nurse practitioner Chelsea Meinig, who advised her.
The abortion pill Mephistopheles, I call it Mephistopheles, because it is satanic, better known as RU486, works by blocking the natural hormone progesterone that developing babies need to survive.
And so the reversal of this is if the pill is going to block progesterone, what they do is they give the mother progesterone supplements, and it's perfectly safe.
And you can, if you do it within 24 hours, you can reverse the effect of the abortion pill.
Chelsea was honest with me about the process.
She said, there's only a chance that my baby could be saved, said Green.
She prescribed progesterone for me and I continued to see her for several weeks afterwards to monitor my pregnancy and ensure that my baby grew normally.
And just five months ago, I gave birth to a perfectly healthy baby girl.
My boyfriend and I are completely in love with her.
Yet, a third party filed a complaint against Minnick over her promotion of this abortion pill reversal.
Leading to an investigation by the Colorado Board of Nursing.
Yeah, isn't that amazing?
Colorado Board of Nursing.
You're supposed to be killing babies.
You're supposed to be stopping the breeding.
There's too many people out there now, right?
And it's just like, you know, the people who came after that baker multiple times.
Because he had, first a homosexual couple came in and tried to rub his nose in his own cake.
He said, you will make a custom cake for us.
He said, I'll sell you anything that you want off the thing, but I'm not going to make a cake just because you want to dominate me.
That's essentially what was happening.
He didn't say it in those words, but that's what they were trying to do.
And he took it to the Supreme Court and won.
And then you had a guy who was a lawyer and a tranny, and he came in and he wanted this guy to make a tranniversary cake for him.
You know, the anniversary of him being a tranny.
And he said, I'm not going to do that.
And so he took it to the Colorado Board of Human Rights.
And in spite of them being slapped down by the Supreme Court, they did it again.
And he beat them again.
And so here you have the Colorado Board of Nursing coming after a nurse for saving a baby's life.
You're supposed to kill them.
There are other women like me out there who immediately regret their decision.
To have an abortion and want a chance to save their babies.
I was one of the lucky ones.
But if these government officials have their way, more mothers will lose out on this incredible opportunity and more babies will lose their lives.
Well, that's the goal.
That is the goal.
So, the Alliance Defending Freedom is defending her.
They got an injunction last year allowing her to continue offering this, but the case is still ongoing, so the threat remains over her.
Medical professionals should do what Chelsea does, save lives.
And the government should not stop them.
That's what the Alliance Defending Freedom said.
And just remember that it was just as last week that the first pro-life bill of Congress failed in the Senate.
This was a bill that was put forward to say that if a child survives an attempted abortion, you have to do everything you can to save their life.
And it was a partisan vote.
A vote down by the Democrats.
Isn't that amazing?
They showed their hand, didn't they?
That they won't even try to save a baby that survives an abortion.
Democrats will oppose legislation to provide appropriate medical care to newborn children who survive abortion because they're afraid, said the Republican Senate Majority Leader John Thune.
He said Democrats are afraid that by recognizing the humanity, the personhood, The personhood.
You know, they have personhood.
Not a mountain.
Not a mountain, folks.
Babies.
Human beings.
Because they're created in the image of God.
The mountain is not in the image of God.
Because they would recognize the humanity of the newly born child, they will inadvertently point to the humanity of the unborn child.
There is nothing more important to demonic Crap party.
Then to vote against this.
The humanity to oppose the humanity of the unborn child.
So they'll vote against this, he said.
And they did.
They did.
They absolutely voted against it.
I speak for the mountain.
And the mountain wants you to give me more money.
And the mountain is going to go to Muhammad or it's going to go to New Zealand.
You're going to have a...
I can see what's going to happen here.
You're going to have a mass migration of mountains to New Zealand.
They're just going to be swamped with mountains all over the place.
place.
We'll be right back.
We'll be right back.
We'll be right back.
We'll be right back.
And now, The David Knight Show.
Good evening.
Tonight's tale is a story of paranoia and a most unexpected perpetrator, the common cow.
Or, more specifically, What comes out the other end?
Yes, the air is thick with intrigue, as it seems that in our modern age of propaganda, even a humble bovine's backside can be branded a national security threat.
The menace is invisible, silent, yet deadly.
Carefully contrive to panic the masses into accepting the government stepping in, jackboots and all, with their solutions.
Because who better to stop a gaseous threat than a bunch of political windbags?
But one must wonder, is this truly about saving the planet, or are we simply being led to pasture?
Is it merely a MacGuffin?
The David Knight show serves as a breath of fresh air for those who still believe that truth can stand up to scrutiny.
And he's found that the government narrative smells suspiciously like a load of bull.
So if you want to help others catch wind of the BS being shoveled out of Washington, please consider supporting the show.
And now back to our regularly scheduled program.
You're listening to The David Knight Show.
Mona Lisa, Mona Lisa men have named you.
You're so like a lady with the mystic smile.
Yeah, I could listen to that for a long time.
One of my favorite singers.
Speaking of which, you know, we're talking about people.
And we look at, you know, why did they die?
He died of lung cancer and respiratory issues.
He would smoke cigarettes before he'd do a recording session in order to get a smoky voice.
But yeah, I love Nat King Cole's voice.
And the French love Mona Lisa so much so that they are going to spend big amounts of money to give her her own private room.
And why not?
I mean, you know, if a mountain can be a person with all rights and privileges.
Why can't we give Mona Lisa her own private room after all of this time?
The Louvre is going to be undergoing renovation, estimated to cost up to $834 million.
That's going to be quite a fancy room for her.
Well, actually, it includes other things as well, because the French government has in the past done some improvements that have actually not been improvements.
They've been degradations to the museum.
Emmanuel Macron announced on Tuesday that Mona Lisa will get his own dedicated room inside the Louvre under major renovation and expansion of the landmark that will take up to a decade.
Macron didn't disclose an exact amount budgeted for the project to modernize the world's most visited museum that is plagued by overcrowding and outdated facilities, but is estimated to reach up to $834 million.
The Louvre's last overhaul dates back to the 1980s.
Macron said the expansion of the museum will allow the Mona Lisa to be moved to a new, dedicated room that will be accessible to visitors through a special ticket.
Oh, going to have to pay extra to see her.
Maybe they'll have extra security to keep out those anti-oil radical vandals that are there.
You know, just stop oil or whatever it is.
I mean, why did they do that?
Do they really think that that helps their cause to go around destroying works of art and vandalism?
Right now, from the last update that got finished in 1989 under Francois Mitterrand's project, They put a big glass pyramid there.
You've seen the pictures of it.
It now has Become very outdated.
It hasn't aged as well as Mona Lisa.
And it's not very functional either.
They said the palace is not properly insulated from the cold and the heat.
It serves as the museum's entrance.
And so, with the glass pyramid that is there, it's created something of a, I don't know, I guess if they want to be concerned about energy usage, maybe they should insulate the pyramid, huh?
They said it also tends to amplify noise, making the space very uncomfortable for both public and staff, they said.
Another example of government planners, isn't it?
Well, AI commercials are going to take over the Super Bowl this year, they said.
And when I first saw this headline, I thought, oh, they're going to be doing all these AI commercials.
Remember, there's a big stink about the fact that Coca-Cola that has so much money.
I did a Christmas commercial with AI, and everybody was really upset with him for doing that.
I said, you know, why are you doing this on the cheap like this?
But on the Super Bowl, I don't know if the ads are going to be AI or not.
They're pretty expensive.
This year, it's gone up to $8 million for a 30-second ad.
And why does that make sense for these advertisers?
And the demand is really strong.
They said, usually, if there's any unsold spots as they're getting close to it, the price will usually go up by $100,000.
This year, it went up by half a million, $500,000, for last-minute buys.
Why are they willing to pay so much money?
Again, because Hollywood has driven everybody away from television and movies and to sports.
That's what everybody watches.
Super Bowl commercials are in many ways a reflection of the American economy.
Of course, I don't watch it.
I don't even know who's playing.
I don't care.
But, you know, what I'm saying is if you've got time to sit around and watch TV, the other stuff is so offensive that people are watching sports more.
Want to understand how strong the car industry is?
Well, just count the number of spots during the big game.
Is travel back post-pandemic?
You know, you can kind of glean this stuff, they said, if you look at the different industries that are buying stuff for the Super Bowl.
Are airlines and hotels pulling out ads?
Well, that may show that travel is back.
Just look a few years back, they said, when crypto-related ads were everywhere.
Or the slow, steady rise of commercials for sports betting apps.
That's a natural form, isn't it?
This year's Super Bowl.
We'll anoint artificial intelligence companies and products, though, as the new mainstream.
And so they said there's going to be a lot of ads pushing AI, normalizing AI. I wonder if they'll do an ad around Mark Andreessen.
Maybe he'll take out an ad.
You know, the purpose of all this stuff is to crush human wages.
Yeah, it's going to be great.
We're going to love this.
It's going to be a real utopia for me and my pals.
AI is coming.
If it's not already here in almost every business, it will be coming like a freight train, said one executive VP of ad sales for Fox Sports.
They're selling the spots.
Again, this year, it's a record $8 million for a 30-second spot.
Fox is believed to have more than 10 advertisers who have agreed to that rate.
Helped along by a waiting list of brands that wanted to buy in the last year, but were unable to.
Now some of the brands that have dropped out are State Farm.
Remember this?
I played this when the fires were happening and we first talked about how State Farm had dropped insurance to all these people in California.
And this ad is what they ran last year.
Arnold Schwarzenegger, State Farm.
So they ran this and then within about four or five months they're canceling insurance policies.
Like a good neighbor.
State Farm is there.
Cut!
Hey, Arnold, I'm hearing neighbor.
It's neighbor.
That's what I said.
Neighbor.
Agent Brent Whitlock talks about it.
Yeah, I used to have these conversations with Karen when she still was fresh with her New York accent.
laughing It was a lot of fun.
But...
Now she sounds normal to me.
I don't know.
I guess it's 45 years will do that to you.
But they ran that ad, and then just a few months later, they're canceling people left and right in California.
And look, I don't fully blame State Farm.
They saw what was coming.
They saw what Karen Bass and Gavin Newsom were doing.
The guy who was running against her for mayor saw what she was doing.
They knew it was going to be horrific.
Why would you stay in and ensure that if you've got an option not to do that?
And so within just a few months, they're shutting that down because of the insanity in California, the mismanagement, perhaps the deliberate aspects of what they were doing.
But they've dropped out.
They're not going to be advertising this year.
But there's plenty of people who are lined up to take their place.
And so I guess the question was, if it's $7 million this year, how much was it last year?
Well, I looked, and it's $8 million this year.
Last year, it was $7 million.
So we've had a 14% increase in the Super Bowl ads from last year to this year.
The people who will be buying up ads besides artificial intelligence are going to be pharmaceutical ads.
Isn't that wonderful?
The people who want to poison our minds and poison our bodies, they're doing just great, aren't they?
And they want to track and surveil us and control us and kill us, and they've got more than enough money to buy ads.
The only category that is down year over year, they said, is movie studios and streamers.
Because, you know, TV is just so awesome because of trannies, isn't it?
Whether that's still the fallout from the writer's strike or just how much the industry has changed after COVID. There's none of that stuff.
They've recovered from writers.
They've had writer's strikes before.
Haven't had the COVID stuff before.
But it's not about that either.
It's about the fact that they're making garbage.
Absolute garbage.
And again, you don't even get considered for film if you haven't done all of your LGBT DEI stuff.
And that's the way they're going to die.
It really is.
So, again, up from $7 million last year.
State Farm paid and started canceling people.
We're in a period now where live sporting events, where people and families come together to watch.
And it's much more coveted.
Yeah, because, I mean, do you really want to invite those?
I always think about that, you know, when you look at the stuff that they'll throw in.
You'll have a good movie and all of a sudden they'll throw a scene in.
It's like, whoa!
You know, some kind of gratuitous nudity or sex scene or something like that.
And there was a company called Clean Films.
And back when we were in the video business in the 90s, people were getting movies on DVD. That was one of the things that they offered, one of the services that they offered.
And we were the first people in our area that got into DVD. And I was real excited about the possibility of it.
One of the things that I told people, because, you know, that's something that they mentioned, they said, well, it has the possibility that we could do airline versions of movies for you.
You know, where you edit out the gratuitously edited in nudity and all that other kind of stuff.
So you can sit there and watch it with your family.
Now people are doing that with sports because they don't like that.
It was New Line Cinema.
The people who did Lord of the Rings later.
But again, that was in the, I guess, the early 90s, mid-90s.
I don't know when DVD, I don't remember when DVDs came out.
But I was at a video conference and he was giving a, the New Line Cinema executive was giving a presentation on how great DVD was going to be.
And so after he gave the presentation, I went up and talked to him directly.
And I said, so I've been telling people.
When they come in, he said, this is going to be a really good technology, and there's a possibility that you should be able to jump around things so you could take a gratuitously created R-rated film and just keep the storyline, lose the nude scenes and stuff like that, and watch it with your family, and you'd be able to branch around it.
And he says, yeah, that's possible, but he says the creative types hate that stuff.
They really hate that.
They hate the airline films that we put out with a passion.
They want that stuff in there because, look, it's a satanic industry.
They've done a deal.
I'm serious about it.
They've done the Faustian bargain, and these people are sold out for this stuff.
That's more important to them than the money is.
It really is.
And so it was not long after that, though, that New Line Cinema did do exactly that.
And they took a movie that was a very hard R. I think it's called Crash or something.
I think it might even have James Spader in it.
I'm foggy about it.
But within a couple of months, I'm looking at Variety and I see that this is coming out on video.
And they're going to give you the option of, instead of watching a very hard R, they're going to have a double X version of it.
And it's like, they're going to go the other direction.
And there was a company out of Utah, I think they're Mormons, that were offering people a service.
And if you subscribe to their service, you could go in as a parent and say, I don't want language, or I don't want nudity, or I don't want violence, or whatever it was that you didn't want.
You could check those things.
You know, they had a machine and an app.
It wasn't an app on a phone, but it was a way that you could program it with your computer.
And they would go through and find these spots, and they would, with their particular player, so you'd buy their player, and you'd subscribe to their service, and you could branch around those things and still watch movies.
I never bought one of them.
We didn't want to watch the movies that badly, but you could branch around it.
Well, Hollywood sued them, and has continued to sue them.
I was surprised the other day to see that lawsuits are still going with this company.
And they've been going back and forth and back and forth over this stuff.
These are things that you bought.
The entire video rental business was predicated on the doctrine of first sale.
Once you buy the movie, they took it to the Supreme Court.
That was the point at which we got in.
Up to that point, it was this real shady thing of X-rated films and video clubs and stuff like that.
And they sued, and the industry got together collectively and took it to the Supreme Court.
And the Supreme Court said no.
If the store has bought the tape, you don't have any control over it.
And that was what allowed the industry to take off.
Excuse me, I had a sneeze there.
And so what they looked at, they said, okay, well, we can't beat them, so we'll join them.
And at that point, they released the catalog titles that they'd been holding for a long time and made it good for a little while, the movies were.
They sued, even though you had the Supreme Court decision that had essentially established the video business and look as the best thing that ever happened to the movie studios.
But they didn't care.
Because it was a greed thing.
It bothered them so much that somebody else would be making money off of the movies.
Because in the deal that they have with movie theaters...
All of the POP, the point of purchase stuff, the standees and the posters and everything, that all belongs to Hollywood.
And they just put it there temporarily.
And when the movie leaves, that goes with it as well.
And so they want to retain ownership of everything.
And they keep like 90% of the profits.
What they do is they allow the movie theaters to...
To keep enough to cover their overhead of their building, that type of thing.
And then the rest of it, they take like 95% of the profits.
That's the way the deals were 20, 30 years ago.
I don't think it's gotten any better.
And so they don't want to share profit with anybody.
And so it always bothered them that people were renting their stuff.
And yet, they've prospered.
They were able to do all of these different Disney animated films, I think, because no movie lost money.
The entire Terminator franchise came about because of home video.
People were able to discover movies on video.
Anyway, when you look at this, and people coming together to watch, that's what I always think of.
And I always think of the corruption of Hollywood.
Their number one thing is never about money.
You know, the most profitable R-rated film, by a long shot, was Mel Gibson's Passion of the Christ.
R-rated movies didn't make a lot of money.
And so what did New Line Cinema do?
They take it the other way.
They go to like a double X or triple X or whatever, which actually makes even less money if you want to watch that.
There's no demand for it.
These people are pushing their agenda, just as we see them now pushing LGBT. They've been pushing this dark, satanic agenda to us for a very long time.
And that was more important to them than money.
It really was.
They're not following the culture.
They're there to set the culture.
So we see a mermaid actress in China is attacked by fish in the aquarium, as spectators are watching.
And this is not...
A performance of Jaws, the musical.
Disturbing footage captures a moment a woman swimming in an aquarium was attacked by a fish that tried to clamp its jaws around her head.
Well, it didn't try.
It did clamp its jaws around her head.
And witnesses are screaming in terror as a woman struggled, though she quickly managed to escape the fish's grasp.
However, the giant creature did consume the 22-year-old performer's goggles and nose clips and inflicted injuries to her head, neck, and eye.
There's a picture of it in the article there, if you got that.
There she is.
Now, this is in China.
She is Russian.
She's Russian working in China.
And the reason I covered this is because I always find it fascinating how ruthless The Chinese society is, you know, in terms of this hierarchy.
It's the kind of stuff that we also saw with the Stasi in Germany when they got in.
And it flows out of a totalitarian society.
It isn't anything about Chinese versus English or German or any of that.
It's not about that.
It's about the totalitarian and authoritarian society there.
And what happens is it turns people into monsters.
And we've seen this in our society in terms of flight attendants or other people at airports, right?
Where do we have the most totalitarian part of our society?
It's in the airports.
And everybody wants to boss you around because they're getting bossed around.
And as soon as you have a position where you can push other people around, now you start kicking the cat because you're frustrated.
And it just multiplies.
And so we see this a lot.
In China, the Russian woman was there.
They told her that she had to go back and do the next performance, even though she was seriously injured.
They didn't care.
And again, you can see how her eyes are all black and everything.
And they gave her the equivalent of about $85.
They called it moral damages.
Moral damages.
But she was prohibited.
From talking about this with her employers at the Primitive Forest Park, who also attempted to cover this up and pretend that it did not happen.
So, again, that kind of just hatred for their employees is just rampant and top-down, and it is such an authoritarian society.
I know that when we adopted our daughter, they gave her a note.
And said, always do what the government tells you to do.
And it's like, what?
We had a real laugh with that when the translator translated it for us.
Gard Goldsmith, good to see you, Gard.
He says, hey everybody, I want to let you know that evidently Peter Thiel has planted a lot of money into two publishing companies.
One to publish traditional, non-woke novels.
And the other one is for conservative and libertarian sci-fi.
Evidently, he says that he's trying to fight the large, woke publishers.
I wonder what his endgame is.
Well, I don't know.
I mean, you know, I've mentioned the fact that Rupert Murdoch made the decision to buy Fox News not because Rupert Murdoch was conservative, but just because nobody was addressing that part of the marketplace.
And then later on, he...
Tried to establish a radio network and used to have, remember when Sean Hannity was young, they'd have Hannity and Combs.
And I always thought Combs' job was just to make Hannity look smart because he was so bad.
But they started trying to build a network around him just because talk radio was all conservative.
So part of it is that.
Perhaps.
He senses a political movement that he wants to get out in front of, just like Elon Musk did, is my guess.
But, you know, these people are definitely getting very political.
And they're savvy in terms of being able to read the zeitgeist and see where the public is headed.
It was just a couple of years ago.
That Elon Musk was out there talking about global warming and all the CO2 MacGuffin and nonsense, and now all of a sudden he's like reinvented himself, simply because he's looking to align himself with a mass of people out there.
So they can see that everybody is sick of all of this stuff, and they're jumping in on that.
The Syrian girl says people who block violence, nudity, and bad language in their videos will find themselves with very short movies.
They will today, as a matter of fact.
The one thing that we did do, we didn't block that out, but we had a box that we were able to buy.
It's called Curse Free TV. And we had a lot of fun with that.
You get a movie like Black Hawk Down, and it was essentially a silent film.
What I was surprised at, and this is what these people keyed off of, was the closed captioning that's there.
They would actually caption all of the profanity that was thrown out there.
And they would put that in because they didn't want people to miss that either.
So, you know, even if you were deaf, you could enjoy all the profanity that was being thrown out there.
And so the thing keyed off of the closed captioning.
And if it saw one of those words coming up, it would momentarily bleep the audio and it would throw something else out there like you clown or something.
It was crazy stuff.
We got a hoot out of reading the closed captioning.
But when you had something like Black Hawk Down, even though you couldn't hear whether people were screaming because of all the gunfire, you just turned it into a silent movie practically.
The progress retort.
Thank you very much for the tip.
Today is the 31st.
The gas gauge is at three quarters.
Let's give David and family a boost.
That's very kind.
Thank you so much.
I appreciate that.
And VandReview.
Thank you as well.
That's very kind.
David, I have something for Karen and Whistler's Payne.
I've been trying to contact you.
Please check your email.
I'm going to resend it today.
All right.
Well, I appreciate that very much.
Thank you.
And yes, we do have some things like DMSO. DMSO has got a pretty...
High temperature that it freezes at, significantly higher, about 10 degrees higher than our house has been for the last couple of weeks.
It's frozen solid, so now maybe we can get it thawed out and do something with it.
But we're going to take a quick break, and we will be right back.
Thank you.

You're listening to The David Knight Show.
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 gray 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. Oh,
to look around at the patch of ground known as Mother Nature's sieve Though it's horrible to visit It's a miserable place to live Yeah, that's the opinion, I guess, of Don Jr. and Charlie Kirk.
But the Greenlanders there, according to a Danish poll, interesting how different polls can get different results, isn't it?
Only 6% of Greenlanders want to join the U.S. Even though it's horrible to visit and a miserable place to live.
Nearly 500 people surveyed.
Only 6%.
Said they favored joining the U.S. Another 9% were undecided, while 85% rejected the idea.
Almost half of respondents, 45%, said that they viewed Trump's interest in Greenland as a threat.
Well, he certainly framed it that way, hasn't he?
I don't know.
How has marriages worked out?
I mean, maybe they looked at that.
It's like, do we really want to marry this guy?
I don't know.
Denmark is addressing discrimination against Greenlanders now.
So this is their response.
Denmark is going to go full DEI. That should keep them in place, don't you think?
And we've also got an Austrian general saying that EU troops should be sent to Greenland, you know, because we don't want to lose face by having Powerful Denmark being shoved out of the Greenland by Trump.
This is all just ego stuff.
I'm looking at it like, who cares about any of this stuff?
What is their real agenda?
It certainly isn't national security.
It's not that at all.
That military base that right after World War II had 10,000 troops there, it doesn't mean anything now.
They've taken it down not just to 400, but to 200 troops there.
Anyway, the Danish government has announced a comprehensive initiative to combat racism and discrimination against Greenlanders.
You know, because as Kermit the Frog reminds us, it's not easy being green.
On Monday, officials unveiled a plan that allocates an additional $4.9 million over the next four years to implement 12 targeted measures aimed at addressing long-standing issues.
Facing the Greenlandic community, the government will now allow individuals to list their nationality as Greenlandic.
Oh, that's great.
That's great.
That's what I've always wanted, right?
Passports.
Well, you know, it would be good if I could list my nationality instead of American as Tennessee, you know, because there's less things that I disagree with about Tennessee than I do with Washington, which I pretty much disagree with everything they do.
You get me distanced from the CIA. You know, you go into another country, it's like you Americans.
No, I'm not part.
I don't have anything to do with the CIA. See, I'm from Tennessee.
Acknowledging their unique cultural heritage within the kingdom of Denmark.
Racism and discrimination against Greenlanders in Denmark is a separate problem, said the Minister of Immigration and Integration in Copenhagen.
Yeah.
It's got to do the right thing.
And then we've had another not maybe so helpful suggestion from Iran's foreign minister.
Again, the Austrian general says we need to put EU troops there to keep the U.S. from taking it.
Well, Iran's foreign minister has a suggestion.
He says that Trump should use Greenland to repatriate Israelis.
He said move the Israelis to Greenland.
Why didn't we think of doing that with the Palestinians or whatever?
He says, you know, but you could move all the Palestinians to Greenland or you could move all the Israelis to Greenland, which is what the Iranian guy is saying.
You know, there's plenty of room there.
Everybody's all packed together, standing, you know, they're all in Hebron, standing chic to chic, right?
But they could have plenty of room.
If they went to Greenland, he said, my suggestion is different.
He says, instead of Palestinians, let's expel the Israelis and send them to Greenland, and we can kill two birds with one stone.
Well, I think that it would be cheaper to pay Greenland to take people than to pay Egypt and Jordan to take refugees out of Gaza, isn't it?
By the way, we're going to be the ones who get the bill.
Trump's words are music to the ears of Israel's right wing.
Many of whom have never forgiven former Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's decision to unilaterally pull out of Gaza in the factious 2005 disengagement.
There are others who are skeptical that it is a workable plan, but Trump said he'd spoken with Jordanian King Abdullah II about the idea of getting a million Palestinians out of Gaza and into neighboring nations.
He was set to speak to Egyptian President Abdel Fattah later about the same issue.
Both countries gave the president's suggestion short shrift.
Well, it looks like his charm offensive.
I mean, I can say that Trump's got a charm offensive here.
His charm is offensive.
At its best, he's offensive.
And so he's going around telling everybody, well, we're going to take these people and put them over here, and we're going to take Greenland, and we're going to take Panama, and everybody's like, no, you're not.
Get out of here.
It's just amazing that he's...
Focused on this stuff.
And then Trump said over the weekend, you're talking about a million and a half people.
We just clean out that whole thing.
And we let Jared and his friends build resorts there on the place.
This is from Whistler.
He says they polled 500 Greenlanders.
That's got to be most of their population.
Probably is.
Most of the population in the biggest city.
There's only 56,000 people there.
It's a massive amount of land that is there.
And you've got some of these people in the EU saying, well, you know, this is going to be really important because all the ice is moving back because of global warming.
Newsflash.
Greenland used to be green.
And for most of...
Geological history, as I can see.
We are in a cooled-off period, and so if there's any global warming, it's still really, really, really cold compared to what it used to be.
Meanwhile, in the UK, you've got political correctness and the shame that comes with anybody taking offense at anything.
Is alive and well, even in their military, Navy chiefs are going to rename HMS Agincourt.
That's the name they gave to a submarine.
They're going to rename it to Pease the French.
Just call it Henry V. Maybe they won't understand.
And instead, what they're going to do is they're going to rename the Agincourt.
They're going to rename it HMS Achilles.
How fitting.
Because this type of stuff is really the Achilles heel of their military as well as ours.
A former defense secretary had a lot to say about this.
He said, of course, it was one of England's greatest military victories.
Incredibly lopsided there.
Henry V at Agincourt.
And Shakespeare made it very famous.
During World War II, to build morale, they had a movie done.
It has Lawrence Olivier, his production of Shakespeare's Henry V. Music by William Walton.
Some excellent, excellent music with that.
And really brilliant.
But it was there to build morale.
Because it was such an unbelievably one-sided victory.
This guy, who is a former...
Let's see, Ministry of Defense had Sir Gavin.
Sir Gavin.
Sir Gavin the Green Knight, maybe.
Anyway, he says, it is so pathetic that the government is so ashamed of our history that they're literally renaming it.
Next, they'll probably want to rename HMS Queen Elizabeth for fear the Spaniards might be upset about the Armada.
He said, the submarine carries a name that honors a defining moment in British history.
And under labor...
Woke nonsense is being put ahead of tradition and our armed forces' proud heritage.
Well, that's the whole idea of all this stuff.
They want to destroy and take down Western civilization, and that means your history, your culture, everything.
They want to make you ashamed of everything, not just of your military victories, everything you must be ashamed of, and you must self-censor and destroy it.
And we need to wake up to their game and oppose it.
Hopefully people are starting to wake up to it.
Except that in the EU, we still have hate speech codes.
This is the Digital Services Act.
Remember when Elon Musk said that he was going to buy Twitter?
And Theory Breton, the guy who was going to be administering it, of course he jumped the shark and he tried to interfere with our elections and they pushed him out because that was a little bit too far too quickly.
But remember how cringy it was with Musk literally bowing to him.
Literally bowing to him.
And so now they've got an updated hate speech code under the censorship law that big tech is signed onto.
The code was signed by Dailymotion, Facebook, Instagram, Jukes Video.
I've not heard of that one.
They didn't ban me.
I was never on there.
But the rest of them I was banned from.
LinkedIn even.
Yeah, they banned me too.
TikTok, Twitch, X, YouTube.
Pretty much all these have banned me, or I wasn't on them.
I was never on Twitch or this other one.
Anyway, the document has its roots in 2016 when Facebook, Microsoft, Twitter, and YouTube agreed to ban me.
Oh, sorry.
Agreed to join, which was two years later, followed by Instagram, Snapchat, and Dailymotion.
And what we see happening at Davos, which was last week, they had a panel.
On anti-Semitism.
Because, you know, any criticism of the Israeli government is now defined as anti-Semitism.
You can't have a political opinion.
Which means that more than half of the people, if it's criticism of the Israeli government and Netanyahu's action, more than half the people in Israel didn't vote for Netanyahu.
He had difficulty putting together a coalition.
That's the way the parliamentary system works.
If you don't get more than 50%, you've got to put together numbers with other political parties to get past the post.
So that would mean that the vast majority of most Israelis, I guess, are anti-Semitic if they criticize Netanyahu.
But that's what's being pushed by Jonathan Greenblatt, who is essentially been revealed as a spokesperson for Mossad.
Because he's there telling them how they need to do this.
We've got to create an app to come after people's speech, just like we created those exploding cell phones, he's going around saying.
So he was there at Davos last week, and he was there with the Marxist lesbian.
Leader of the American Federation of Teachers.
If you've got any questions about whether or not your kids ought to be in government schools, just take a look at the person who is the head of the American Federation of Teachers Union.
Randy Weingarten.
Hardcore Marxist.
That's one of the letters that they don't put in the LGBT stuff, but it's there.
It's there.
She says, you think I'm privileged?
I think we're one government away from my going to the gas chamber.
She's the most privileged of people.
She's in that position simply because of her diversity and intersectionality check boxes.
You know, they look at that and it's like, okay, let's check all these things that we value.
And we'll look at how that stacks up, the intersectional aspect of it.
So this was a forum called Confronting Anti-Semitism and Polarization.
And they're the ones who are doing it.
The flames of anti-Semitism, said Jennifer Schinker, are being fanned every second by TikTok and social media.
The Jewish community has not been able to effectively combat that online.
Well, how about maybe you stop what you're doing?
Do you ever stop and think that maybe what you're doing is wrong and indefensible?
Oh, no.
They're not going to say that.
Young people get their news from TikTok, which is fairly terrifying.
Or they get it from X or from Instagram.
So we have to control all that.
Greenblatt called for regulatory and reputational pressure to compel companies to act.
Or you could also try bribing them Greenblatt like you typically do.
If their engineers feel like going to these companies and participating in something, you know, an evil enterprise, if you will.
They don't want to do that.
So you see, free speech is an evil enterprise.
What does that say about the Israeli government?
I've got to double down on my criticism of this stuff.
I think what they're doing is absolutely reprehensible.
What they're doing in Gaza is reprehensible, and instead of doing the right thing and pulling back after they become an international pariah, what they do is they double down on trying to destroy our First Amendment rights in this country.
Isn't it enough that you bribed all of our congressmen?
You're going to try to destroy our rights as well here?
And, you know, it's just, we shouldn't worry about that.
We shouldn't talk about the murder of civilians in Gaza.
And we shouldn't talk about the murder of millions of people by the jabs, either.
Or by the medical protocols, because that's where the first censorship was coming in from.
And that was happening under Trump.
People who criticized his murder of people, well, you get the censorship treatment.
So, shut up.
Don't talk about murder.
You know, pharmaceutical companies are entitled to murder you, and so are the Israelis.
So, Trump is going to sign an order addressing anti-Semitism.
Because if you put Israel first, then the First Amendment has got to go.
The order also instructs agencies to find ways to deport anti-Israel activists who violated laws.
Are they going to deport me?
I'm not an anti-Israel activist, but I'm not going to jump.
When they say jump, if you come here from another country and you try to bring jihadism or anti-Americanism or anti-Semitism to our campuses, we will immediately deport you, said Trump.
You'll be out of that school.
Okay, well, is trying to take away free speech, is that anti-Americanism?
Why don't you get rid of the Israelis there, Jonathan Greenblatt, deport him.
Send him to Gitmo instead of other people.
I think that's where he belongs, quite frankly.
We're going to take a quick break, and we'll be right back.
But before we do, oh, for the love of the road, thank you very much for the tip.
And he says, tip rally.
I thank you so much.
Look, for the love of the road has been great in terms of rallying things.
12, he's always rallied around us and helped us in so many different ways on TikTok and other places where we've been banned.
He's edited stuff and put it up there.
So I really do appreciate that.
Greg Talent, thank you very much.
And 12 June 1776, thank you.
Says, happy to hear that Rumble paid its bills.
Yes.
Monthly fuel gauge rally.
Thank you so much.
James Treese, thank you again for the tip, all of you.
I canceled my Vimeo account after hearing what they did to you, and now you can have my Vimeo subscription instead.
Well, thank you so much.
I appreciate that.
Yeah, they kicked us off of there, too.
It truly is amazing.
Well, we're going to come back in just a moment, and I've got some interesting, actually got an interesting note from For the Love of the Road as well.
Did I mention Greg Tallent?
Still up there, but thank you, Greg, if I didn't mention your name.
We're going to take a quick break, and we'll be right back.
Excellencies, ladies and gentlemen, I'm Klaus.
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.
Welcome back.
I want to read a couple of letters here that have been sent to us by email.
Sometimes it's late for us to respond.
Sometimes we miss some things.
This is from a long-term listener.
Who says that, and he's got excellent qualifications.
We've been talking to him for a very long time.
Very wise and got great academic as well as professional credentials.
And yet, he says, I can confirm, talking about artificial intelligence, he said, I can confirm from personal experience that since June of last year I've been able to find work, despite being deeply immersed in AI. He says, I've got an investment in a $6,000 computer, not for gaming, it sits in the closet, no attached monitor, but for AI, research and development, and learning, but it doesn't matter.
AI or not, there simply isn't enough work anymore.
This is largely due to decades of outsourcing and offshoring at all levels, due to commodification, due to transactional gigs instead of strategic long-term engagements, and finally due to the middle class having been taxed, regulated, and burdened.
With licensing requirements to the point where they can no longer afford to be industrious or inventive.
And I absolutely agree.
I think you hit the nail on the head, and I'm sorry that that is happening to you.
We'll be praying for you.
And I got your note about comments about the show and things we could do to improve it.
I really appreciate that from people.
Please give us feedback, you know.
If you don't like something...
Again, you can always disagree with me.
I'll try to tell you what my opinion is for whatever the reason is.
But if you don't like how we're doing the show or something like that, please let us know.
You know, people do like to have feedback.
I mean, I'm not going to change what I say.
If I'm wrong, I would be happy to change it.
If you point that out to me, you can convince me of that.
I'll be happy to change.
And I have made corrections on things.
But if you don't like the way the format is set up or something like that, let us know that as well.
That is something that we could easily change, so we would like to have that kind of feedback, and I appreciate that.
For the Love of the Road, again, sent a lot of very interesting things.
He's got a lot of different comments that he puts up on Subscribestar.
I really do appreciate that.
He's been a long-term supporter there and very active there.
In terms of comments, here's some of the things that he pointed out, which I thought was kind of interesting.
He said, I just looked on eBay for that Artilek War book, and he said, it is $400 after shipping and taxes.
How about that?
This is a mint condition.
You should sell this.
So, I should have gotten a signature from Hugo de Garris on all the interviews that I had with him.
I met him once in person.
We were both speaking at an event.
$400 for that book.
It's amazing.
He says, I also saw that Larry Ellison is 80 years old.
He must be getting a lot of fresh blood somehow.
He doesn't look that old at all.
And so he said, also the clip you shared of Alex and Elon was actually a Spaces conference on X. I searched for Elon Musk at tv.infowars.com.
I found Red Alert show back in July of 18, 2019. I skimmed through it.
He talked about brain chips coming through most of the show.
I didn't even know that he did that.
I was still there at that point in time.
Again, Alex and I were on loggerheads about Elon Musk.
I was not ever happy with that guy.
I saw him as a transhumanist technocrat from day one and a huckster as well.
But anyway, he loved him.
He loves all billionaires, quite frankly.
The only one I've ever heard him talk bad of is George Soros.
Anyway, he talked about brain chips through most of the show.
He mentioned his uncle like he did in SpaceX, too.
He says, at the beginning of the second hour, there's a Chinese piece on Neuralink.
There's also a one-minute commercial that Alex did for Subscribestar.
He said, that'd be pretty funny if Whistler could dub his voice with AI, telling people to go to your Subscribestar.
Well, I'm not going to change his voice.
You know, I had a pretty well-known guy who's talked a lot about, and I've had him on as a guest.
What was happening at the Darien Gap in Panama and other things like that.
He's been spot on as a reporter.
And evidently, and he's also been outraged about what has happened with the vaccine stuff.
And evidently, he saw that sugar water thing that I had pinned at the top of my Twitter account for quite a while.
And he pushed back and he said, well, I called Alex.
And he said that was all taken out of context.
You think it was?
You think it was?
You're going to believe Alex or you're going to believe your lying eyes and ears?
I mean, that's exactly, there is no other context that you can put on that thing.
He also says, in terms of the Bitcoin exit tax, I thought this was interesting.
He said, Roger, was it Ver?
I keep forgetting how to pronounce his last name.
Ver, I think it was.
Roger Ver.
Often referred to as Bitcoin Jesus faced significant tax issues with the IRS. After renouncing his citizenship in 2014, the exit tax, a mark-to-market tax applied to individuals with a net worth of $2 million or more who renounced their U.S. citizenship, was a key issue in his case.
According to the tax code, there are four trigger events for determining the expatriation date for the exit tax.
In Veer's case, the earliest event was his presentation of a form to the U.S. consulate in Barbados, which fixed the date for the constructive sale of his assets.
Of March the 2nd, 2014. However, his law firm incorrectly advised him that the constructive sales occurred on February the 3rd, 2014. So here you have the difference between February the 3rd and March the 2nd.
And because gold is, or not gold, but Bitcoin is so volatile, that creates the big issues there.
It's interesting to see what has happened with gold.
You know, for the longest time, we've had Yukon Cornelius telling us that this Trump-enthusiastic bubble that has happened depressed gold there after the election, and it was a great buying opportunity.
I think it still is a buying opportunity.
I look at gold versus Bitcoin as kind of the tortoise versus the hare, you know?
Gold is like, Bitcoin, and then it goes backwards, and then it goes forward, and then it goes backwards.
Bitcoin has just steadily been going along like the tortoise, and we all know how that story ended, don't we?
And so, Bitcoin just hit a new record price against the dollar yesterday.
And so, you know, that's an important thing to look at.
12 June 1776, gifted five subscriptions to The David Knight Show.
Thank you so much.
I appreciate that.
I'm Marty.
Hey, Marty.
Good to see you.
Thank you for the tip.
He says, my monthly check is in your PO box.
And that's one of the reasons why I've not pushed it harder because, you know, we've not been able to get by there.
So hopefully that's going to be very helpful.
The checks that we've not gotten to yet.
We will be picking them up today.
So progress report.
Thank you for the tip.
He says, David, in my opinion, Engagement through a periodical call-in show would provide a steadier income stream and would be fun.
Another Ask Me Anything would be welcomed by everyone.
I should do that again.
I haven't done that for a while.
And we should do a call-in show, I think.
It is something that we've talked about doing, but it's just technical issues that we haven't gotten squared away with, and I think we'll do it when Travis gets back.
We'll have a little bit more time to put some of this stuff together.
I would like to periodically do a call-in show.
I think that would be fun.
Auntie Opal, thank you very much.
She writes, thanks for exposing the lies.
Well, I really appreciate that, and we don't have our guests yet, do we?
So I've got a little bit of time that I want to talk about pharmaceuticals, because this is, you know, when we look at the phony show that's been going on, it went on for two days with RFK Jr. This is an excellent article.
It's on the Brownstone, brownstone.org, but it's also from someone at Children's Health Defense.
And the title of it is, The 99th Congress Called Vaccines, quote, Unavoidably Unsafe.
That was the assessment of the 99th Congress, the Congress that passed that 1986 bill that Ronald Reagan signed, that took away the liability for the vaccines.
And they said, we're going to take away the liability for the vaccines because they're unavoidably unsafe.
And perhaps that was one of the reasons why these people who have taken millions of dollars from the pharmaceutical companies are so torqued out.
Well, if you're going to look at science and safety, we're not going to have any vaccines left.
And that was exactly what they were saying in 1986. That's why they gave them that.
Doesn't that cause you concern?
I mean, that was the end of the road for vaccines for my family when we saw that.
But at that point, it was a bit too late, actually.
In 1986, the House of Representatives passed the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act by voice vote.
It was so popular to do that.
Senator Warren should know that her current Senate Majority Leader, Senator Chuck Schumer, was, at the time, a member of the House, and should presumably know that the bill that was passed to give vaccine makers liability protection from civil claims when a child was killed or seriously injured by a vaccine That also placed all vaccines administered to children in the legal category of unavoidably unsafe medical
products, which means that a product like this cannot be made safe for its intended use.
The key language about unavoidable side effects, writes Mary Holland at Children's Health Defense, Comes from the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Manufacturer Responsibility.
The language is based on language from the Second Restatement of Torts, a legal treatise by tort scholars, that was adopted by most state courts in the mid-1960s, 20 years earlier.
Most of the state courts said all vaccines, they considered all vaccines as, quote, unavoidably unsafe products.
The restatement...
Opined that such products, quote, properly prepared and accompanied by proper directions and warnings, is not defective, nor is it unreasonably dangerous.
It's just unavoidably unsafe.
When used as intended.
They said, so, it is correct.
That the U.S. Supreme Court never decided that vaccines are unavoidably unsafe directly, but it acknowledged that Congress considers them to be so.
So she said, and what few, even among their own membership supporters, realize is that the following medical authorities consider vaccines to be unsafe.
And listen to this.
I'll run through quickly.
The American Medical Association, the AMA, the American Academy of Pediatrics, the American Academy of Family Physicians, the American College of Osteopathic Pediatricians, the American College of Preventive Medicine, the American Public Health Association, the Association of State and Territorial Healthcare Officials, the Center for Vaccine Awareness and Research at Texas Children's Hospital in Houston.
And continuing on with this, Immunization Action Coalition, the Infectious Disease Society of America, the March of Dimes, Meningitis Angels, the National Association of Pediatric Nurse Practitioners, the National Foundation for Infectious Diseases, the National Healthy Mothers, Healthy Babies Coalition, the National Meningitis Association, Healthy Babies Coalition, the National Meningitis Association, Parents of Kids with Infectious Diseases, Pediatric Infectious Disease Society, Society for Adolescent Health and Medicine, Vaccine Education Center, and the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia.
How do we know that they've all gone on records?
They did it in a court case.
When the family of Hannah Bruceowitz, a child injured by Wyeth's tri-immunal DTP vaccine, challenged the 1986 Act and the Supreme Court for the right to sue Wyeth, a drug company, for Hannah's severely disabling vaccine adverse event.
All of these organizations that I just mentioned filed an amicus brief in support of the drug company.
Asking for the court to uphold the law that protects vaccine makers from liability for injury or death arising from any vaccine licensed by the FDA. And recommended for children by the CDC. They even went so far as to argue against the idea that each vaccine should be individually evaluated for the, quote, unavoidably unsafe status.
They said that in their brief.
So all of those organizations.
Said that we know that it's unavoidably unsafe.
And furthermore, we don't want a case-by-case consideration of whether the vaccines are safe or unsafe.
Just going to give blanket immunity to any of this stuff.
How in the world could we support that for any kind of a product?
Would you support that for a car?
Would you support that for a baby buggy?
Would you support it for anything?
No!
And so she said she had a situation where she had a lobbyist for the pharmaceutical industry organization.
She said, you know, a lobbyist can go on, like with these RFK things, can go on there and say, well, vaccines are safe.
But then they go to another meeting and they tell you that it's safe or it's unsafe.
In other words, as a lobbyist, you can hang on to that for legal liability.
She said in 2016. The Maine chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics, I mean that's Maine as in the state, argued for the removal of and or restrictions to religious and conscientious objections to mandated childhood vaccines.
And so she said, in my response to the director at the time of the Maine Coalition, I asked several questions arising from her testimony, including the following questions.
How can you argue that vaccines are unavoidably unsafe in Supreme Court in order to convince the federal government to grant you liability protection from vaccine injury, and then argue that vaccines are safe and vaccines are mostly safe before the committee in order to convince the state of Maine to mandate that families receive counseling and buy vaccines from you?
Are vaccines safe?
Mostly safe?
Or unavoidably unsafe?
How do such widely contradictory statements engender trust for vaccines and trust in pediatricians?
And she responded and said, On behalf of the Maine AAP, I acknowledge receipt of your email and your list of questions.
I understand that our organizations have different perspectives on the vaccine debate.
I respectfully decline to respond to your list of proposed questions.
Or to continue the debate with you through electronic correspondence or social media.
In other words, I'm not going to say whether vaccines are safe, mostly safe, or unavoidably unsafe.
I think we know.
We're going to take a quick break here, and we're going to connect with our guest, who is somebody who was a victim of these political persecutions of January the 6th.
And we want to talk to her about her experience.
Rachel Powell has now been pardoned, and she's got a lot to say about a mother of eight children.
She's got a lot to say about this experience.
And, folks, this is something that applies to everyone in our country.
I have seen over and over again what happens in the so-called justice system when the government has an agenda.
And it can be a political agenda like January the 6th.
It can be some other agendas that we see people get railroaded for.
And I have also talked to some of the people who have been railroaded in these kangaroo courts about the kind of treatment they get in prison.
This is something that really needs to be reformed.
And the political weaponization has been going on for a very long time, but we've now seen it to such an extent with the J6 people, so many of them, and in such a public way, that it is important for us to shine the light on that.
So we're going to be talking to Rachel Powell in just a moment.
moment.
We'll be right back.
We'll be right back.
We'll be right back.
She's having some problems with the camera or microphone or both.
I didn't realize that.
So we are going to go.
I really do want to talk to Rachel.
But I've got much more to say about what's going on with the vaccines and the pharmaceutical stuff, as a matter of fact.
Senator Warren accused Kennedy of having, quote, spread false hysteria that vaccines cause autism.
But Kennedy has only done what Warren's congressional colleagues did 20 years before.
He began in vaccine safety advocacy, and that is to promote research into the vaccine-autism link and any link between vaccines and other childhood disorders.
Isn't it strange that they do not want you to look at the results of their vaccines, whether you're talking about the Trump shot or whether you're talking about just vaccines in general.
Don't investigate.
What is causing autism?
We've got an epidemic of this stuff, and it keeps getting bigger and bigger and bigger.
And, you know, a lot of people have looked at the connection of the expanding number of shots that is so unusual here in America, but nobody wants to do the science.
They get so angry about it.
That's a real tell, isn't it?
It's a real tell, just like when Michael Manure didn't want to show us his data.
He just wanted us to do what he had, what he concluded.
I was like, well, I'd like to see your work.
I'd like to see your day.
No, you can't see that.
The pertussis vaccine injury inquiry that was ordered by law in 1986 was undertaken by the National Institute of Health, the NIH. It was carried out by the Institute of Medicine.
It was published by the National Academy of Sciences in 1991, and it was edited by, among others, none other than Harvard's Harvey Feinberg, who chaired the committee to review the adverse consequences of pertussis.
And rubella vaccines.
The report that they came out with was a report to review the adverse consequences of pertussis and rubella vaccines.
And what they said as part of their findings, they said the relation of pertussis vaccines to a number of serious adverse events, including encephalopathy and other central nervous system disorders, sudden infant death syndrome, they've known for the longest time.
This is 1986. They've known about SIDS. And I've played so many times that mother who said her child was eight years old, and she said he was healthy, went for a well baby visit, and then died right after it.
And she said, I didn't know what it was until they started doing this sudden adult death syndrome.
And then she started crying, and she said, I just realized that I killed my baby.
No, you didn't kill your baby.
They lied to you.
They deceived you.
They've known since 1986 about all this.
SIDS, autism, Guillain-Barre, learning disabilities, Rye syndrome, neuropathies, thrombocytopenic, purpura.
You know, we're seeing that now with these Trump shots.
It's been around for this other stuff as well.
And then so they said, well, we looked at all this stuff, but then we just dismissed this autism connection because there is no experimental data.
Bearing on a possible biologic mechanism.
In other words, they've never looked at any of it.
They never tested any of it.
And now, she said, we've got more than 200 papers that show multiple vaccine autism links exist.
And a link to where you can find them.
Howdovaccinescauseautism.org How Do Vaccines Cause Autism.org.
We're going to take a really short break, and now we have our guest, Rachel, who's ready to come on, and we'll be right back.
We'll be right back.
We'll be right back.
All right, and joining us now is Rachel Powell.
She is, there's a group called Patriot Freedom Project.
They've been there to help the people that are being politically persecuted for J6. And now that this thing is over for them, It's time for all of us to take a look at what our Justice Department is capable of doing to people, people who are innocent of any major crimes.
And I've talked about this for the longest time.
This is very troubling when we look at this, you know, the denial of due process, ignoring cruel and unusual punishment and excessive punishment and that type of thing.
So without any further ado, let's talk to Rachel Powell.
Thank you so much for joining us.
There we go.
Okay, it looks like it's frozen now.
Okay, well, can you hear me now?
I hear some movement over there.
No?
Okay, can you hear me, Rachel?
Okay, are we back?
Can you hear me?
I see some movement there.
Or did it just freeze again?
Okay.
I hear you, Rachel.
Can you hear me?
I can hear you.
Okay, good.
Are we good to go?
Yeah, I think we're good.
Working now.
Okay.
Let's keep this going here.
Tell us a little bit about yourself.
I know you're a mother of eight children.
Tell us.
We'll talk about what happened with your family and everything, but give us an idea first about what happened on January the 6th.
Frozen again.
Okay.
Okay, we're going.
I think maybe we're having some...
Yeah, it's not going through.
It's freezing.
I think we're having some bandwidth issues on it.
I'm not sure.
Well, I'll tell you what.
See if we can help her with that a little bit on that side.
And we're going to go back and continue with the news here while we get some of those tech issues.
It sounds like maybe we're having some bandwidth issues.
Yeah, it's on her side.
Oh, yeah, it's not on our side, but it might be on her side.
She's having some bandwidth issues on this because it's coming and going.
I'm going to go back to where we were in the pharmaceutical stuff, back and forth, and we're going to try to get that through.
And one way or the other, we're going to talk to her on another day if we can't do it today because it's very important to, and I've got some other people that we are getting in touch with who have been.
No.
Okay.
All right.
Can you hear me, Rachel?
Okay.
Is she back?
She's not responding.
Let's be sure that she's there.
I'm just going to kind of move on, and then if you're sure that she's there, let me know.
Otherwise, we'll kind of continue on with where we were on the vaccine things.
This is an interesting back and forth that I didn't play yesterday as part of the RFK stuff with Bernie Sanders.
Actually, they grilled him for two days.
This is Bernie Sanders who gets called out for being owned by pharmaceutical companies, as I pointed out yesterday.
The people who are...
Criticizing RFK Jr. there, $7 million.
And so he comes back on Bernie with us.
Almost all the members of this panel are accepting, including yourself, are accepting millions of dollars from the pharmaceutical industry.
Oh, no.
And protecting their interest.
Oh, no.
I thought that that would come.
Yeah, you thought, because it's true, isn't it?
I got millions and millions of contributions.
They did not come from the executives.
1.5 million.
Yeah, out of 200 million.
Yeah, only a million dollars.
Who cares?
You have not answered the last question.
Isn't it amazing?
Bernie Sanders got $200 million.
As I said before, it was just a couple of cycles ago.
And, you know, you had, in 2000, remember, that you had Al Gore, $70 million he spent, total, total, and George W. Bush spent $100, so $170 million for the two of them combined.
Bernie Sanders, Bernie Sanders got $200 million, and that was eight years ago.
And so you think we're good?
Think we're good to go?
Okay.
Well, let's give it a try again.
Rachel, can you hear me?
I can hear you.
Can you hear me?
Okay, good.
I hear you.
We're good to go.
Well, we've already introduced you, so let's just start with what you want to tell us about January the 6th and how this all began.
Well, I can tell you that January 6th began because many of us believed that there was election fraud that was not addressed, and so when the president decided to have a rally, In Washington, D.C., many of us have been ready for that for years.
I mean, personally, his election being stolen wasn't new news for me.
I knew that there had been problems with the voting machines for years and years, and it's a breath of fresh air to finally be talking about it.
Although, when it came to January 6th, there was a huge Block on speaking about the election fraud.
And I lived in the state of Pennsylvania, so I knew it happened.
I saw it with my own eyes.
You know, we went to bed knowing Trump won.
And then we wake up and we're told Biden won.
It was insanity.
And so we went to the Capitol that day, not meaning for, at least most of us, not meaning for it to get out of control, but it did.
It got out of control.
You know, I think most of us, if we could go back in time, we would change that.
But we never expected it to end up the way that it did with our families destroyed and years in prison and the judicial system losing our houses and our homes and our families just being destroyed.
We never expected that.
I did expect that that was going to happen, quite frankly.
I warned people about that, and I got fired for warning people.
But the issue is that none of that excuses what Biden did or what the Justice Department did, right?
And so regardless of what anybody thinks about the election either way, or what I was telling everybody was going to be agent provocateurs there, they were going to, you know, I said, stay away.
They're going to, you know, set up something for the people that are there.
But regardless of all of that, it's what happened in the aftermath of that that I think is something that is universal.
That everybody ought to be concerned about on both sides of the aisle.
Regardless, even the Democrats ought to be concerned about this kind of stuff.
And many of them are.
They know that because they got involved in politicized warfare against people, that it may be coming back on them.
And so that's why Biden put out a bunch of pardons as he was leaving, because he's set up this precedent for this type of thing.
But I've seen it with a lot of different cases before.
It's one of the reasons why I thought this was going Okay, well, when I got to the Capitol, it was before Trump was even done speaking.
I was way back at the Washington Monument.
I could not hear Trump.
I could barely see the screen that he was.
Projected onto you.
And so I just went to the Capitol ahead of time.
And when I got there, I was one of the first people there on the West Side, which is considered the violent side.
And at the beginning, we were standing on public sidewalks.
And I've been to a lot of protests because through COVID, you know, we were a draconian state.
And so I've been through a lot of COVID protests.
And you're allowed to stand on public sidewalks, but I never saw one.
Get out of control like this.
And so when I'm standing at the barricades by the Capitol on a public sidewalk, the officers up on the balcony, they just started shooting down into the crowd.
And we were very confused.
People were yelling up to them, stop, stop.
You know, we love you.
Stop.
We're on your side.
There was a man beside me, Joshua Black.
I didn't know him.
I still don't know him, but he was beside me.
And I know his name now.
He got shot through his cheek.
And from there, tear gas, pepper spray.
And when protesters were met with violence, some of them became violent.
And I don't think that...
Most of us intended for it to happen that way, and it doesn't excuse my behavior, but I did go up onto the balcony area where I should not have been, and I was by the tunnel, which was extremely violent, and mostly I was just washing people's eyes out as they came out of the hallway, and eventually there was a man pile where Roseanne Boylan was at the bottom.
I listened to her die.
I heard her screaming for help, crying out, but by the time we got to her, she was dead.
And after that, I broke a window.
The value of the window was $600.
I wish I could go back and pay for the window.
In my opinion, a $600 window is not a reason to destroy a family for four years and leave children without their mother.
No.
And just cause us to lose everything, especially considering I never went there with intent for that to happen.
And neither did anybody else that I know that's a January 6th defendant.
Yeah, yeah.
And that's where the excessive punishment comes in.
You know, the conditions under which people were kept, the ramping up of charges.
They got four years.
You got four years for a broken window.
What were the charges?
What were the charges that they gave you?
I had three felonies.
And six misdemeanors.
My main felony was the obstruction of justice charge, the 1512 obstruction charge, which the Supreme Court later ended up throwing out for January 6th people, which had a huge effect on my case.
So they were using charges on protesters that they have never used before.
And I have to wonder, why did I have that charge?
But yet the January 6th committee, who destroyed evidence, They didn't get that charge.
Instead, they got pardons.
Why did I have to sit in a federal penitentiary when they get to go free, and they literally destroyed evidence?
Oh, yeah.
Oh, it is amazing, and I think people need to see it, and people need to take their partisan blinders off and look at this, because as I've said, I've seen this happen to people both left and right.
The denial of due process, the ramping up of charges.
It's very rare that we even have jury trials anymore because they put so many charges on people that most people will do a plea bargain.
Is that what happened in your particular case, that they ramped it up?
Did you do a plea bargain or did you have a trial?
Okay, I did not take a plea bargain because it was full of lies and I'm a person of morals, so I can't sign a document that...
It's full of lies.
And it would have given me almost four years.
So I took a bench trial.
I didn't have a jury trial.
A bench trial is where the judge makes the decision.
And we decided to do that because we needed to talk about this obstruction charge, which is up to a 20-year felony.
It's a huge deal.
And, of course, I was found guilty of all of my charges.
But later on, the Supreme Court, they...
Said, no, you can't do this.
And so then I had to be resentenced, but I had not been resentenced yet when Trump pardoned me.
So did you actually go to jail or you were waiting to get your resentence before you went into jail?
What happened after the trial?
I spent three years on a very strict house arrest where I literally could not go out in my yard, couldn't go to the grocery store, couldn't get a haircut, couldn't...
Take my kids to part of the medical appointments.
Literally watching my kids play in the yard from inside the house.
Could not go out to work most of my three years.
They wouldn't let me leave the house at all.
And that did not count towards my time served.
So then I ended up with a five-year sentence of which I spent over a year in a federal penitentiary.
Most of my time was at Hazleton, the SFF Hazleton in Brewston Mills, West Virginia, where the conditions are horrid.
We had cold water for showers because multiple buildings have no hot water.
We were forced to house with biological men, sharing cells with them, forced to share a cell where you're locked in with them.
You have to change and use a toilet in front of these.
They're all sex offenders that are there.
There's basically no medical treatment.
The facility is still doing teeth cleanings from 2018. And if you need a tooth filled, forget it.
They're going to wait until it's so bad they have to pull the tooth from your head.
I could just go on and on about the conditions.
The roofs leak so bad we would have to catch the water into big trash cans and containers.
It is awful what is going on.
In the prison system and how people are being housed right now.
And that's where they put me.
And, you know, they didn't have to send me to a facility that was a higher facility.
They could have sent me to a camp that was a minimum.
But the FBOP, the Bureau of Prisons, they decided to continue on with this terrorist rhetoric and put me in a higher...
Security prison.
Yeah, and I've talked to people who have been whistleblowers, who have challenged the government on certain issues, and they've even got prisons they call communication management units, and basically it's solitary confinement and no communication with anybody on the outside, because these are people that they, you know, the next step, I guess, after all the social media.
Canceling and censorship.
The next step is that they put you in a prison so that you can't communicate with anybody.
People need to wake up to what has happened with our government and how they are doing this to individuals in terms of the kangaroo court processes and everything.
And it's interesting that you didn't have a jury trial.
But, you know, a jury trial...
Now, with the instructions that the judges give, it doesn't really help.
They'll tell the jurors that they don't have the ability to nullify something, which is really what the juries are primarily for, to look at not just the facts of the case, but to look at the law, to see how it's being applied, to look at the penalties that are involved.
And if jurors were doing their job, they would not have let the Department of Justice get away with all these trumped-up charges that were struck down by the Supreme Court.
And if they saw what the penalties were going to be, that somebody's going to go to jail for multiple years for a broken window, a jury should stop that.
But of course, in a place like, was your trial there with the judge, was that also in Washington, D.C.? Yes, my trial was in Washington, D.C. I think all of them were, I think.
They were, because they wouldn't move our venues.
And in my opinion, the right thing...
To do would have been to move venues because what I saw going on with election fraud in my state was probably different than what somebody else, you know, in Iowa would have seen.
You know, we all traveled to DC together.
But DC was just biased against us.
There's no way that we could have gotten a fair jury trial.
I've spoken to multiple other J6ers that said when they were choosing their jury that the judge had to persuade people into being a juror because the jurors were saying, I can't do this and not be biased, and the judge persuaded them to.
Don't worry about it.
Yeah, you can't get a fair trial like that.
No, no.
No, and it was really a sham process, and I think everybody saw it, but it was really horrible what happened to people.
So for you, you were under house arrest for how long, and how long were you in the prison?
I was on house arrest for almost three years.
Well, no, for three years, and I was in a federal prison for over a year.
So I've lost four years of my life.
I was arrested in February, right after January 6th.
Wow.
Talk a little bit about that, how that affected your family.
You're a mother of eight children.
What's the age range of your children from the youngest to the oldest?
Well, my oldest is 28, and my youngest is eight.
So some of my children are adults, and they're having children of their own.
And I have grandchildren.
And I have the most beautiful, wonderful, supportive family anybody could ever ask for.
But it's been hard.
You know, an eight-year-old, And a almost 14-year-old and a 16-year-old are still minors in my household right now.
And so when January 6th happened, there was five of them that were minors.
And it just destroyed everything.
I mean, we had to sell our family home.
A lot of people don't know this, but at the beginning, a judge actually wouldn't let me see my children unsupervised.
I had to go through mental health evaluations to see my children.
I've never had any problems with my children.
I've never been a type of parent that loses custody or anything.
I was a housewife for 17 years, homeschooled my children.
We love each other.
It's been really hard.
I had to watch my children come into the prison at least probably about once a month they came to see me.
And it was really, really hard.
And I honestly, I don't know what kind of trauma we're going to have to recover from this.
We haven't really gotten there yet.
But I'm sure there's going to be Some.
Probably a lot.
And I don't even know where to start rebuilding our life, you know.
Well, I really appreciate you talking and speaking out about this because it is so important for people to see what our government is doing.
And I know that, how long has it been that you've been out now?
Oh, geez.
Not even two weeks.
I mean, wait, is it a week now?
My days are just going together.
I've not been home that long.
And thank you for, you know, I know it's a difficult thing for you and, you know, for not taking the time fully off and to make it a priority to talk to people about this.
Because, again, this affects everybody regardless of what the issue is.
When the government starts to come after someone, it can really be vicious.
But we've seen elements of this coming for a very long time with mandatory minimums and building out the prisons decades ago.
We've seen SWAT team raids some of them against the wrong people.
We've seen some of the pro-lifer people who were SWAT teamed, other people that have just been pardoned by We've been moving in a very dark and dangerous direction for quite some time with the federal government, and it's been a bipartisan thing that's been supported by both sides.
What do you think when you hear some of the people like Lindsey Graham that are upset about the January 6th people being let out?
And Chris Christie.
You know, It just blows my mind that they could be upset about this.
And I gotta wonder what is going on behind the scenes that would say that or even pretend to believe it.
Because they have to know what we've gone through.
They have to know that most of us went there with no intent of January 6th getting out of control.
It's shameful.
It's shameful.
Shame on them for not taking a minute to see what is going on in this weaponized justice system.
What would you like to see happen now?
Because what you were doing, you mentioned the fact that you're there, you're on a sidewalk, which is...
Typically allowed, public sidewalk.
And you also have the stated right in the Constitution to assemble and to redress your grievances with government.
What do you think should happen to the people that were involved in this, whether we're talking about judges or prosecutors or even the police officers who initiated the firing?
What do you think should happen at this point?
Well, I have mixed feelings about it.
I definitely think there should be a thorough investigation.
A lot of key players might not be able to be prosecuted now because of the pardons.
But I think our country needs to start moving on.
I mean, we should investigate it, but we need to move on from January 6th.
And instead of focusing on...
That day we need to start focusing on how we can fix our country.
What can we do to make it never happen again?
How can we reform the prison?
What can we do about the judicial system?
That's really where our focus needs to be so this can never happen again in America.
I agree.
The excess charges, shutting down jury nullification, all these other things, this kind of weaponization.
Those were the jury was such an important institution as a check for the kind of abuse of power that is always going to come along.
But it's interesting, as some people pointed out, Merrick Garland was not part of it.
It was his Justice Department that was running all this stuff.
I would like to see this investigated, and I would like to see them move on away from the January.
The subject of the protest to the broader principle of the right to protest and the right to do process and the prohibitions against excessive pardon.
Talk a little bit about being under house arrest, and they did that, too, for three years, and then they escalate that up to the next level.
And you've got to leave your home and your family, and as bad as the house arrest is, you've now got to go to a prison.
Talk a little bit about that.
Well, the prison conditions were terrible, and so I'm locked away in a cell where sometimes I'm locked in there for days, and I'm not just missing my family, but I'm enduring these horrid conditions that nobody should have to live with.
To have to live in a cell where the roof leaks and I'm catching the water into buckets, to know that if I get sick, I could die in there because the medical treatment is that bad.
I've known two women in the past year that literally had to be resuscitated and brought back to life, and I'm not making this up.
Because they didn't get treated until it was almost too late by the time the prison took them out.
You know, when I was forced to house with biological men in my unit, the one in my unit, he was in there for raping adults.
You know, another one that taught in the music room, that man was in there for selling a nine-year-old little girl in a sex string.
And these things were very, very traumatic for me.
And living continually, day after day, of not knowing, is an officer going to come in my room and just destroy it because they're mad at me?
Am I going to get called into the lieutenant's office because I just...
Want to see my family and just have a visit with them where there's vending machines and a children's room open, you know, because that happened.
Trying to get the visiting fixed.
I had to endure an extra, not just one strip search, but an extra unnecessary strip search every time I saw my family for the first six months of my stay.
That's just punitive.
It was terrible.
it was terrible i don't even understand how how this has happened and so especially considering the conditions that we've had to live in while we're in prison how could they want us to stay there how could they not want us to be pardoned i i just don't understand are they enjoying the torture that we're receiving at the hands of our government because that's what it was yeah and um I've had nightmares.
Nights that I've woken up since I'm home, thinking I'm not pardoned, gasping for air.
And that's how hard it's been.
And so imagine that you don't just have me, but you have over a thousand other people that have experienced a lot of this.
You know, other children that have had their parents whisked away from them.
A lot of them breadwinners, you know, daddy's gone.
Now who's going to pay the bills?
You know, honestly, I don't even know where I would be and my family would be without people helping us.
I know Patriot Freedom Project, they're helping me get back on my feet with the living situation, and they're the ones that flew me home.
I've had stories that I've reported of people who just got turned out in the middle of nowhere.
They transferred to them at the last minute somewhere, and they've lost their job.
Some of them have lost their family connections over this stuff, and it's like, you know, I'm stuck out here.
And so tell us a little bit about the Patriot Freedom Project as well.
Well, I can tell you Patriot Freedom Project has been with me from almost the beginning.
At the end of the first year, I needed another lawyer, and they helped me find a fantastic lawyer.
They helped me pay for the legal bills, which was huge, because, you know, I sold my house to pay.
Oh, yeah.
in these, these type of situations.
And so they helped me and, um, they, she, Cynthia Hughes even came to the house to visit me when I was on house arrest because I couldn't leave.
They got my children to meet Trump twice, which I can tell you was a huge moral booster for my children.
Trump told them he was going to help us, you know, just, just hang on, just hang in there.
And after that, we believed we knew Trump was going to help us.
We didn't know when or how, but we knew that he was going to help us.
And that really got us through.
And then after I got out of prison, how far along was, how far along was that before you met Trump and he said he's going to help They did.
You're under house arrest, right?
Yeah, my children met him twice in 2023 at his Bedminster golf course.
Okay, all right.
Yeah, I mean, a lot of people were looking at it, and there's been a back and forth as to whether or not he could preemptively pardon people.
And as I pointed out, we saw that happen with Gerald Ford and Richard Nixon.
But even going back to all this rhetoric about insurrection, the first time they put that law through, you had the guy who was president didn't want the Civil War to continue.
That's what it was ultimately about.
You had Johnson, President Andrew Johnson, preemptively pardoned all the Confederate soldiers that they were going to do that with.
And now we've seen Biden do it.
So the question was, I guess, Trump's lawyers are telling him not to do it at that point in time.
It was two weeks before he left, and I guess a lot of us were very concerned that he didn't pardon people at that point in time.
But I'm glad that he did it.
And that was 2023 that you were able to meet with him.
What else in terms of the Patriot Freedom Project?
So is this an organization that helped you with legal fees?
They helped in many other ways with your family.
And what else are they doing right now?
You said they're helping to get some of the J6ers home and connected back with their family.
Is that correct?
Absolutely.
They got me home.
They put me on a plane.
And I'm in a situation where I'm going to have to move and I've got to get a place to live.
And they're helping me pay for that, which is going to be a huge expense.
And I wish I had permission to share names, but I don't.
But I know, I mean, I've heard Cynthia talking on the phone with other families, and there's a lot of them out there that she's helping them with their living situations.
And it's huge.
It's huge.
Because what would we do right now when we don't have incomes yet and we've sunk all of our money into this process?
Oh, it's amazing.
That's why I say the opportunity that we have here, if they will continue, and if those of you who have been hurt by this will continue to speak out about it, we have an opportunity to get some real...
Reform of the so-called Justice Department and some real reform of the prisons.
And that's what I think needs to be the primary focus of all this stuff.
I hope that it focuses on reform even more so than what would be perceived as revenge.
But I think when you have people who have led this, I think one of the ways that you get reform is to actually punish some of the people who did this kind of stuff, like Merrick Garland.
If they know that there's not going to be any consequences for this, then they will do it again.
No matter what kind of laws you put into place, they will ignore them if there's no consequences.
So I think there really does need to be, I know that it'll be portrayed as just vengeance, but there needs to be some justice, I think, for some of these people.
And I hope that that happens.
So at this point in time, they're helping you to get your life back together again and helping people find employment opportunities and that type of thing?
Is that correct?
That's absolutely correct.
And I think that they have big plans coming in the future, too.
So people should stay tuned to what Patriot Freedom Project's going to do because I think we are at a time in our country where we can make great changes and we can really make America great again.
And I think Patriot Freedom Project will be There'll be a good player in that.
That's good.
And I hope that they make it nonpartisan.
I hope that they don't make it all just about Trump or MAGA or whatever.
If they make this a bigger problem, they might be able to pick up some assistance.
When I looked at some of the grievances, and I'm not a supporter of Black Lives Matter by any means, but I've talked for a long time about police brutality, about the justice system and how that is set up, and I saw Black Lives Matter.
As making this a partisan issue rather than having people who have been harmed by this, who are black and white, conservative and liberal, they should all come together and demand that there be some reform of the system.
And I said, you know, by making this all about Just black people.
They're going to make sure that nothing really happens with it.
So I hope that this project is going to expand out and say, look, this affects everybody.
Because I've talked to people across the board, a lot of different issues.
The only thing that they have in common is that they got the government really angry at them for one reason or the other.
And the government then just pulls out everything.
You know, that is true, and I've seen that even with traffic cases.
When I lived in Texas, everybody had the right to demand a jury trial.
If you demanded it, A jury trial on your traffic case, your speeding ticket.
They would drop it or drop pretty much all the charges.
And that's one way that you can turn it around because they really do hate to do jury trials.
It is interesting to see how that happens.
But it's going to be interesting to see what happens with the Freedom Project.
Understand their first priority, your first priority is to start to get your life back together again.
So I appreciate you taking the time to talk about this because it's such a...
Very important issue for so many different people, but I know that you've got to get your life together, and I know they've got to help people, but I hope that they will continue on with that and really push for freedom in this project because we have so many different issues with the system.
Is there anything that you would like to tell people specifically that we didn't really cover about this whole thing?
Well, just that the fight's not over yet.
You know, we can't just go back to not caring.
We really need to get busy because right now in this country, this is the time for change.
We can see everything moving into a positive direction.
And so we just need to work, work, work to save our country.
You know, because I feel like we were really at a pinnacle where...
We were either going to lose our country or save it.
And with Trump in office, I think that we're going to save our country if we work and we keep paying attention.
We have to fix these systems.
We have to change the government.
And I'm excited.
I hope everybody in the country is excited for what we're going to see happen.
Yeah, it is something that is important.
Certainly, we need a lot of reform in the country.
And we need to get back to the rule of law one way or the other.
And I hope that that happens.
And so I wish you the best.
I'm so sorry for what happened to you.
And my sympathies go out to you.
I'm ashamed of my government for the kind of things that it did to you and the other J6 people and to so many other people.
And I hope that we can do something to make that change.
So I'm so sorry that that happened, but I'm so happy now that you are out, Rachel.
And best wishes to you.
Thank you.
Thank you so much.
Thank you.
All right, folks, we're going to take a quick break and we will be right back.
Stay with us.
You're listening to The David Knight Show.
I'm left.
I want to get to some of the comments here.
Let me think.
S. Petro 626.
Thank you so much.
I appreciate it.
He writes the Knight family are some of my heroes.
Well, thank you very much.
I appreciate that.
DG8.
David, can you ask?
I'm sorry.
I didn't see this.
Can you ask her if she feels betrayed by Republican senators in Congress, completely ignoring the treatment of Americans?
Well, I think we kind of touched on that.
I guess she was not really aware of what Lindsey Graham had said.
You've got Lindsey Graham, who's out there cheerleading on Menendez, as I pointed out yesterday.
And then, of course, Chris Christie, who's from New Jersey, where Menendez is.
What does he have to say about Menendez?
No, nothing really.
He's just upset that we don't have 1,500 people in prison, most of whom were peaceful.
And I think the majority of those who are violent were people who had pushed back after being attacked first.
I guess in America now, if a policeman comes up to you and bullies you or beats you, you're just supposed to cow down and lick his boot.
And he'll just keep kicking you.
The situation that's been now several years, I didn't cover it.
But it's been now three or four years since we saw that video of that man in a hotel room that was shot to death by cops.
And the body camera shows that he's on his hands and knees doing everything that the cop tells him to do.
And the cop shot him to death in front of his camera.
I'm sorry, but, you know, that is not the country that we want to have.
A Syrian girl judges who condemned the J6ers apart from laws as defined by the U.S. Constitution.
Should be liable for civil suits by the people whose lives they trashed.
Well, I agree.
I don't know what the law is on that.
I don't believe the country can move on from J6 until the bad actors who destroyed American citizens for their own amusement are removed from office and prosecuted.
I agree.
They have to be impeached and removed from office.
Just like the president, right?
You know, you can't do these types of things to them while they're in office and judges are there forever.
So I think one of the things that I think these people ought to do, give them some advice here if they want to hear, I would advise them to start impeachment proceedings against these judges.
They are absolutely unrepentant, and I read you the quotes from them last week.
They feel like they were justified in all this stuff, and they were not justified in any of it.
We're all dead, says, and the company is making the big profit from those prisons.
That's right.
Private prison companies there.
Cecilia 14, a broken window.
Isn't that just criminal mischief at best?
Yeah, think about that.
$600, right?
I mean, by any means, $600 worth of damage done to a building ought to be a misdemeanor.
And I think legitimately it would be.
That's why I say, even for the people who engaged in property destruction, And even for the violence.
How many times does somebody who gets involved in a violent act, how many times did they get decades in prison?
Never.
Never.
That alone shows how this was politicized.
Bloden says, my supervisor asked me post-January the 6th if I ended up going.
I think they were told to fire anyone who went.
Wow.
Wow.
Well, I didn't press it with her, but again, I told you all know that I told people not to go, and I knew that it was going to happen, and it was such a shame.
It wasn't a surprise, and I told people even that morning not to go, and I said, even if you want to play the political game, you just turned over the Senate to the Democrats because nobody cared about what was going on in runoff elections in Georgia on Tuesday, January the 5th.
They were also focused on Trump's election.
That they didn't bother to even try to get the Republicans in Georgia to change the vote-by-mail stuff or anything like that.
But of course, considering who the Republicans in Georgia are, probably wouldn't have helped if they had tried to get anything done there either.
Well, this is your daily reminder.
This article continues to see this stuff here.
The quote, the spike protein encoded by mRNA vaccines is a genetically engineered bioweapon.
Designed to infiltrate and damage critical organs across the body.
This is another article coming out.
And look, I think people need to hear this over and over again.
And I have been saying it over and over again.
I've been saying it for years.
I said it before any of this stuff happened.
I said, look at what this is by design.
You know, how they're describing this thing.
This is a genetic code injection.
It is designed to harm your body.
It is the bioweapon.
That's what people ought to be revolting against.
But speaking of revolting, the revolting pharmaceutical industry, this is a singer.
She goes by the name of Avery, single name.
She breaks down revealing Ozempic left her with a deadly bone-thinning disease.
She breaks down in tears.
A singer with substantial social media following said in a recent video that Ozempic gave her a bone-thinning disease after taking it.
For one year.
She says, I'm kind of in shock right now because I wasn't expecting this.
Zimpik can cause bone density loss.
And I didn't think it would happen to me because I was only on it for a year.
But I have significant bone loss.
I have osteoporosis and osteopenia.
That's what happens if you use Zimpik for weight loss and you lose too much weight.
I know some of you might not relate or some of you might think I'm being annoying or overdramatic, but I'm really sharing this to say, Please don't take this drug if you don't need it.
Look, there's a lot of different things that people can do.
Even if restricting calories or something like that doesn't work, it'd be better to look at some alternatives, even like surgery, to shorten your colon or something.
The drugs have become so concentrated, and it's not an unusual thing anymore.
Any kind of a drug.
You say, well, this may cause hallucination.
You may hear strange things.
You might...
As a matter of fact, shortly after Whistler was injured, Karen was having an issue with her eye and went to the doctor and they gave her a drug and said, don't touch that.
Let's look at this and see what it...
Go down the list.
And it's like, this may cause temporary or permanent hearing loss.
It's like, what?
May cause temporary or permanent...
Tinnitus, ringing of the ears, and all these other kinds of things.
And it's like, this is insane.
What does it matter with these people?
I take this stuff very seriously.
We talk to, especially now, after what's happened to my family, you better believe that there is a reasonable chance of those things happening to you if they put it in there, because most of the stuff they just ignore.
So you better believe that if they put it in there, it's not rare.
And even if it was rare, do you want to be the one person?
The one person out of a hundred or the one person out of a thousand who gets that?
I look at that stuff and if there's anything in there that is permanent or serious, there's absolutely no way I would take any of these drugs now because they have changed.
And they've changed because just like these, if we let these people in Washington and the Department of Justice and these judges and the rest of that ilk, if we let them get away with it.
We know what happens with this stuff.
Just look at the pharmaceutical industry.
Look at how much worse and how much more dangerous it has become because they have been held harmless in spite of all the harm that they do to other people.
This is the world in which we live.
And it's just a given that when something like that happens.
Well, we didn't even get to the money today.
But, you know, when we were talking to Tony Arterman yesterday at Wise Wolf Gold, one of the things that we were talking about Was the massive movement of money, massive movement of gold into this country.
And so much money is moving from London to the underground vaults there, from those vaults to the underground vaults in New York.
So much of it is moving that people in London are not able to get physical gold.
And now we've got multiple articles about it.
Tony broke it yesterday on the show.
But now you've got Zero Hedge.
You've got some financial outlets that are talking about this as well.
The London gold market cannot satisfy current U.S. demand.
That's one of the things that Tony was concerned about.
When we were seeing gold go up at a faster rate, again, it's kind of a steady climb.
It'll retrace.
You know, it's not always, nothing is ever going to be always up and to the right when you look at it on a chart.
But he was saying his big concern as the price was going up was securing supply.
And that looks like this is a real harbinger of what's going to be coming.
Everybody knows what the fundamentals are.
None of the fundamentals have changed.
They've only been reinforced with Trump coming in.
The inflation, the debt, the deficit.
There's an article up on Zero Hedge that now progressives are talking about the deficit.
Well, of course they're talking about it because it's the other party.
They never cared about it when it was their party.
Just like they don't care about the deficit unless there's talk about cutting taxes for people.
But all of this stuff is going to kick on to inflation.
And so again, if you go to davidknight.gold, I'll take you to Tony Ardaman.
And you might want to start gradually accumulating, because the dollar is gradually going down, and then we know what happens.
It goes down gradually, then suddenly.
Shea Bishop, Ozempic contains guillemonstre venom.
Yeah, I know.
Maybe a synthetic form, but doctors are warning this will cause cancer and organ failures designed to kill people.
Guillemonstre poison, as well as pharmaceuticals.
Thank you for listening.
Have a good weekend.
The Common Man.
*music* They created common core to dumb down our children.
They created common past to track and control us.
Their commons project to make sure the commoners own nothing.
And the communist future.
They see the common man as simple, unsophisticated, ordinary.
But each of us has worth and dignity created in the image of God.
That is what we have in common.
That is what they want to take away.
Their most powerful weapons are isolation, deception, intimidation.
They desire to know everything about us while they hide everything from us.
It's time to turn that around and expose what they want to hide.
Please share the information and links you'll find at TheDavidKnightShow.com.
Thank you for listening.
Thank you for sharing.
