	Thank you.
	Thank you.
	It's the David Knight Show.
	Thank you.
	As the clock strikes 13, it's Tuesday, the 4th of February, year of our Lord 2025.
	Well, we've had tariffs paused for 30 days.
	We're going to take a look at the conditions.
	That are involved here.
	10,000 troops on the border from each of these countries.
	And we're going to take a look at the Sovereign Wealth Fund, which was announced yesterday.
	What is it?
	Are they going to use it to buy TikTok?
	Is that what sovereign wealth funds have typically done?
	Where's the constitutional authority for any of this?
	And Maha coming out and saying, well, we need to have less mandates.
	Not no mandates, but less of them.
	While they sell the lab leak scandemic, the Department of Education, however, may be killed.
	So we're going to take a look at this as momentum builds to get rid of this beast that is 45 years old.
	Speaking of that, Karen's birthday is today.
	We'll talk about that when we come back.
	But yes, she and I are older than the Department of Education.
	We'll also be talking about gold and the supply crunch.
	Remember, Tony talked about that on Thursday.
	There's more information about that.
	Stay with us.
	We'll be right back.
	Well, we'll begin with the most important things.
	Happy birthday to Karen.
	And to her twin brother, Keith, who has a website.
	If you want to see his work, he does a lot of the artwork for us, the backgrounds that are there on a regular basis, and many other things that he's done for us.
	But he has a website, flyingcolors.com, if you want to see his website.
	But let's talk about what's going on with the tariffs and the pause.
	As I said, 10,000 troops to the border from each of these places.
	And as I mentioned yesterday, This is about the immigration crisis.
	You know, we've got millions of people coming across the border from Canada.
	No, no.
	In spite of the fear-mongering by this intelligence agent-turned-journalist, Jack Posovic, it's like, look at this, there's nobody here at the border.
	It's like, yeah, how in the world can we not have a police state, right?
	Is there somewhere on earth where there's a police state?
	And look, I've gone into Canada before.
	We've been harassed by officials going in.
	The interesting thing is the officials who harassed us were the American officials when we came back in.
	The Canadian people were pretty relaxed about everything.
	Can't have that.
	No, no, no.
	We've got to ramp this up.
	We've got to have a police state everywhere, says Jack Basovian and many other people.
	We've got 21,000 pounds of fentanyl.
	Came into this country illegally because, you know, fentanyl, as I pointed out yesterday, is something like opioids that was produced by big pharmaceutical companies.
	And they like to weaponize that as well.
	You want to look at the war on drugs and how to solve that?
	Look in the mirror, federal government.
	You're the people who have been pushing this stuff and creating these problems, north and south.
	But it's not really a big problem coming from Canada.
	Out of 21,000 pounds of fentanyl, they said, came across the border, 50 pounds of it came from Canada.
	Now, yesterday, I bought two 50-pound bags of chicken feed.
	You're going to put 10,000 troops on the border to intercept what's equivalent to a bag of chicken feed?
	Are you kidding me?
	This is crazy.
	Beyond crazy.
	So, yes, 0.2% of the fentanyl that came across the borders illegally, according to the Trump administration.
	Came from Canada.
	So they've got to put 10,000 troops on the border.
	Let's talk about how many troops that really is.
	In 2017, when we had troops in Afghanistan, Trump's first year, and I said for the first six months, okay, you said you're going to end the war in Afghanistan.
	You said you're going to protect the border.
	All right, bring the troops home from Afghanistan and protect the border.
	How many troops did we have in Afghanistan at that time?
	Well, in July of 2017, the Trump administration said that we had 8,400 troops.
	One month later, they said 11,000.
	So we don't know if there was a sudden troop surge or they were just lying to us, most likely lying to us one way or the other.
	But let's average those together.
	That's about 10,000 troops.
	It's something like 9,700 or something, if I remember correctly.
	To average it out, the two different numbers that they throw out a month apart.
	So about 10,000 troops in Afghanistan.
	Under Trump in the first year.
	He refused to bring those American troops home to protect the border.
	And we don't need to protect the Canadian border.
	It's the Mexican border.
	And now, you've got 10,000 troops from Mexico, but also 10,000 troops from Canada.
	What does Trump really want with all of this?
	And what is he going to do in 30 days?
	Because, look, this whole idea that there's a massive wave of immigrants and fentanyl coming across the Canadian border is a lie in the first place.
	It's the kind of lies that he's been telling about Panama.
	It's just made-up fiction for whatever his agenda is.
	We can speculate about what his agenda is, but we know that he is a liar.
	And he's lying about this stuff.
	Bull-faced liar.
	And so...
	Yeah, put 10,000 of their troops on the border.
	There you go.
	We'll have Mexico build the wall.
	We'll have Mexico patrol because our Pentagon can't be bothered to protect our own borders.
	We'll outsource it.
	Oh, yeah, like we did our manufacturing.
	How's that going to work for us?
	So, you know, it's interesting, too, to look at how many troops, what percentage it is of the overall troops.
	Now, of active duty troops in Canada, they've got 68,000.
	This is 14% of their military on the border to intercept what may be one 50-pound bag.
	I don't know how many bags I separated it into, but 50 pounds, folks, that's not much.
	0.2%.
	The other 99.8% somewhere else.
	Now, Mexico has 262,000 troops.
	Isn't that interesting how much bigger their military is than Canada?
	They're not doing too well in terms of peace and prosperity, are they?
	See, it isn't the size of the military or how many guns you've got.
	It's the character of the people.
	And there's something wrong in Mexico.
	There's something wrong in Mexico primarily because of our drug war.
	You know, it's our continued drug war that is...
	Given rise to these cartels.
	Yes, they don't have to do it.
	There is something about the character of a country.
	But we saw the same thing happen in America during Prohibition with Al Capone and other things like that.
	So, given the opportunity, the business opportunity of Prohibition that's now gone on for, what is it, 54 years we're doing this year?
	1971?
	And the U.S. war on drugs, but it's not really the U.S. war on drugs, it's the U.N. war on drugs that Nixon did for the U.N. The U.N. created the four schedules and put the drugs in there and handed it to Nixon and he ran with it.
	How many times does that happen?
	All the time.
	So, we see this happening over and over again.
	It is our war on drugs.
	As I said, we were the ones who, we took over Afghanistan, we started growing the poppy fields, right?
	And did most of the, it went from like 10% of the world's supply of opium to 90 plus percent.
	We created the crack cocaine epidemic.
	And I say we, I mean they, the people in Washington, the CIA and the rest of them, these creeps.
	As a matter of fact, John Kiriakou, The guy who went to jail because he blew the whistle on the lies that created the Iraq War, lies based on torture, lies and torture, lies that were sold by Gina Haspel and torture that was covered up by Gina Haspel, who Trump put in as his head of CIA. Here's what Kiriakou had to say about what he saw in Afghanistan.
	I went to Afghanistan to do a study on the heroin poppy crop.
	And I'll tell you, nobody liked it.
	Afghanistan used to be a net food exporter.
	And as soon as the U.S. takes over, they're producing 93% of the world's heroin.
	That's right.
	I'd like to know how the fuck that happened.
	I get to Bagram Air Base and I said, I'm going to need a helicopter to Lashkar Gah.
	And it's a god-awful place.
	But man, I'm telling you, as far as your eye can see, all there is is poppy.
	I make an appointment to go to this DEA secret site.
	And they were like, you're in over your head.
	There are very powerful forces that want that poppy to be cultivated.
	And I said, why?
	It's 93% of the world's heroin.
	And they said, because almost all of that heroin goes to Iran and to Russia.
	And we want them to be addicted to heroin.
	It weakens their societies.
	I'm writing all this up.
	And Carrie's like, Nah, we're not.
	We're not publishing that.
	And I was like, ah.
	John Kerry.
	John Kerry.
	Oh, yeah.
	They got them, too.
	Oh, yeah.
	They got them, for sure.
	So, it's the CIA. It's the DEA that actually is running the drug war.
	And that's why I said it is a war of drugs, not a war on drugs.
	They're not trying to get rid of the drugs.
	They're trying to get rid of us.
	The only thing I would correct about that, I'm sure that's what the DEA told him.
	Oh yeah, we want all this stuff.
	Because most of it is going to people we don't like.
	You know, Russia, Iran, fill in the blanks.
	No, it's coming to us.
	Folks, the CIA is conducting a war of drugs on the American people.
	They conduct a war of sex and perversion on the American people.
	That's where that stuff is coming from as well.
	This is an occultic cult.
	And Washington.
	The CIA, the DEA, the federal government in general hates you.
	You want to talk about making America healthy again?
	You might want to talk about how the CIA injects drugs into our society.
	Just like they did with the crack cocaine epidemic.
	That was entirely the American government.
	So it could fund its wars and make money and put it into these pools of black money.
	Dark money.
	And now they're going to kind of do it above board, in a sense, with the Strategic Wealth Fund.
	You see, they've had their black sites and they've had their black money for the longest time.
	Where do you think all this drug stuff is going?
	Isn't it ironic and hypocritical, both of those, that Trump would justify this new level of tariffs?
	This new bullying tactic that he would justify it by drugs, portraying us as the victim.
	And we're the perpetrator of all of this.
	We picked this up and we ran with this UN agenda.
	It is a globalist agenda to destroy this country.
	And, you know, they've done the same thing culturally, even architecture and art.
	The CIA has been there to try to destroy our society, to destroy beauty, to destroy morality, sexuality, marriage, children.
	All of this stuff, folks, has been coming from our own government.
	We are the arms, the legs, and the pocketbook of globalism.
	They don't tell me that we're fighting against globalism.
	So there's great strategic importance.
	Bitcoin rallied as Trump signed the Sovereign Wealth Fund executive order.
	Of course, executive order again.
	He's a tyrant.
	He is a tyrant.
	He's ruling for his own benefit.
	Totalitarianism.
	It doesn't have anything to do with the rule of law.
	It has nothing to do with the republic.
	It has nothing to do even with democracy.
	This is about orders.
	Orders that are going to benefit him and his...
	This cartel of billionaires is a kleptocracy, folks.
	What do you think they're going to do with this sovereign wealth fund?
	Well, we have seen what other sovereign wealth funds had done.
	By the way, before we talk about Bitcoin rallying, I'll get to some of the money stuff in a moment.
	One of the things I thought was interesting about this reaction to the tariffs, Wall Street went down.
	Bitcoin went down.
	Gold went up.
	You see, when the excrement hits the fan, we run to stuff that's real, don't we?
	And then Bitcoin, because he starts talking about a sovereign wealth fund, that kind of sounds like his Bitcoin reserve thing, maybe.
	I don't know that it is or not.
	But on that expectation, Bitcoin rallied again.
	Well, let me play for you the statement that was done.
	This is Donald Trump.
	And just to introduce who these guys are on either side of him, as he's sitting at the table, he's handed a sheet of paper from Scott Besant, who was Soros' right-hand man.
	He was there with Soros.
	When Soros broke the Bank of England, right?
	His quantum fund, remember?
	They referenced that.
	England still remembers that.
	In the Bond movies, they talked about the quantum of Solace and all this other kind of a reference to Soros.
	But Soros and Besant broke the Bank of England.
	What are they going to do to the U.S., right?
	And so Soros' right-hand man is now the right-hand man of Trump.
	Nothing to see there, right?
	Oh, it's just 40 chess.
	Look, we're winning.
	You can just see all the MAGA nuts out there.
	We're winning!
	See, he's on our side now.
	Yeah, and Trump, who is on the side of Jeffrey Epstein and Hillary Clinton, he's on our side now, too.
	And the guy, it's the right-hand Soros, he's on our side as well.
	Isn't it wonderful how we're winning?
	We've got all these...
	Great Republicans in who respect the Constitution and the rule of law and aren't in it for the money.
	And then on his left-hand side is Howard Lutnick.
	A guy I call Lucky Lutnick.
	I call him Lucky because he was lucky enough not to show up on 9-11 when everybody else in his office died in the office building.
	And they decided to take his kid to school that day for some reason.
	So he's really lucky.
	But he's also someone who has been at the center of one financial scam and scheme after the other.
	He's one of these guys who's constantly coming up with some new financial scheme, whether it is securitization of real estate, which I don't know that he was involved in that, but being involved in 9-11, isn't that bad enough?
	Isn't it interesting that two of Trump's closest friends Rudy Giuliani, who did the cover-up for 9-11.
	9-11 Rudy.
	And then Lucky Lutnik, right there, next to him.
	But, you know, Trump's going to tell us the truth about 9-11 and the JFK assassination and all the rest of this stuff, right?
	I've got a bridge to sell you to the moon, too.
	Anyway, so Lucky Lutnik is there.
	He's the king of...
	Meme coins and SPACs and all the rest of this stuff, these special placement things.
	Meme coins, just like SPACs, they put together these financial instruments.
	They are first in line.
	They get in at a really low price.
	They do a pump and they do a dump.
	And even when they sell, even when the thing crashes as Trump's meme coins are crashing, they make a fortune off of this stuff.
	He's also heavily into the crypto stuff.
	Tether.
	The stablecoin, he's involved in all that.
	So, he's got Soros' man who broke the Bank of England on his right hand.
	He's got Lucky Lutnik, the guy who's got one crypto scheme after the other.
	And here's what they say.
	Next, this is an executive order.
	This charges your Secretary of the Treasury, Scott Bessent, and your Secretary of Commerce, Howard Lutnik, to begin a process that will hopefully result in the creation of an American sovereign wealth fund.
	It's a very exciting...
	We're going to have a sovereign wealth fund, which we've never had.
	We have a lot of things that create...
	We never had it because it's not in the Constitution.
	That's why.
	The last two weeks, I think we've created more wealth.
	Other people have created de-wealth.
	Your meme coin.
	The people, my predecessors.
	We're creating a lot of wealth.
	Scott, maybe you'd like to say something about it, and I'd ask also Howard to say something about it.
	Yes, sir.
	This is very exciting.
	We're going to stand this thing up within the next 12 months.
	We're going to We're going to monetize the asset side of the U.S. balance sheet for the American people.
	We're going to put the assets to work.
	We're going to monetize it.
	It's going to be very exciting.
	Put it to work.
	We're going to get control of it.
	We're going to get a combination of liquid assets that we have in this country as we work to bring them out for the American people.
	Thieves and conmen, all three of them.
	...size and scale of the U.S. government and the business it does with companies should create value for American citizens.
	If we are going to buy two billion COVID vaccines, maybe we should have some warrants and some equity in these companies and have that for the help of the American people.
	So I bring all these things together.
	I think we'll create, Scott and I will create an amazing sovereign wealth fund for you, sir.
	So other countries have sovereign wealth funds, and they're much smaller countries, and they're not the United States.
	We have tremendous potential in this country, tremendous seeing that, what's happened just in a short period of time.
	And as an example, TikTok, we're going to be doing something perhaps with TikTok, and perhaps not.
	If we make the right deal, we'll do it, otherwise we won't.
	But I have the right to do that.
	And we might put that in the Sovereign Wealth Fund, whatever we make, or if we do a partnership...
	No, that would be great.
	All get wealthy over TikTok.
	...a lot of options, but we could put that as an example in the fund.
	And we have a lot of other things that we could put in the fund.
	And I think in a short period of time, we'd have one of the biggest funds.
	And, you know, some of them are pretty large, I must tell you.
	Like the Saudi Arabia Fund is on the large side.
	But eventually we'll catch it.
	But we're going to create a lot of wealth for the fund.
	And I think it's about time that this country had a sovereign wealth fund.
	And these two gentlemen and some others are going to work with them very closely.
	And they'll be heading it up.
	And they're going to do a great job.
	Two highly respected people that have done unbelievably well.
	Not by me.
	In the world.
	In the real world.
	Okay, that's enough of that.
	I can't take any more of these liars, con men, and thieves that are there.
	Den of thieves right there in the Oval Office.
	Look.
	He mentioned Saudi Arabia.
	Saudi Arabia's got a sovereign wealth fund, and so does Norway.
	Why do they have that?
	Well, they said, we've got a lot of oil, and we want to kind of put this in trust.
	And in Norway, they've got the largest sovereign wealth fund based on oil that was discovered offshore.
	And they put it into a fund that pays for education, pays for infrastructure.
	But, you know, we're going to create this massive sovereign wealth fund.
	I don't know with what, since we are closing in on $40 trillion worth of debt.
	But we're going to create this sovereign wealth fund, and we're going to invest it not in infrastructure.
	We're going to invest it in TikTok, for example.
	Maybe we could get some of the meme coins from the Trump family, too, and put that in there.
	Lucky Lutnik could set that up for us.
	What?
	Garbage.
	And you heard Lucky Lutnik.
	Saying, well, you know, what was wrong with the COVID stuff?
	What was wrong with the scandemic?
	Well, according to him, we didn't make enough money off of it, right?
	We let Pfizer and Moderna make all the money.
	It wasn't the people that died.
	He doesn't care about any of that stuff.
	He's not going to have to take any of those vaccines, right?
	But the problem was that we just didn't make enough money off of that.
	The money was flowing everywhere.
	And Fauci and these other people were getting their royalties off of that.
	But he wants to make sure that that money goes in.
	So when we violate the Constitution and we give tens of billions of dollars to private companies so that they can create a bioweapon and then the next president can force you to take it, the problem with all that is that we left money on the table.
	Money on the table.
	Trump said the action would charge Treasury Secretary Scott Besant and Howard Lutnik for commerce, spearheading the effort.
	He said the fund will be created in the next 12th.
	By the way, Besant has been confirmed.
	Lucky Lutnik hasn't gone to the Senate yet.
	Do you think there's any chance that he won't be confirmed?
	This is a done deal, isn't it?
	He's their guy.
	He's the kind of guy they're looking for.
	So that will be created in the next 12 months.
	He calls it an issue of great strategic importance.
	And, you know, Trump says, well, fortunately, I can do all this stuff.
	Now, unfortunately, Trump presumes to be able to do whatever he wishes.
	And just like we saw with the Second Amendment, he's got all these gun control senators around him.
	He's got Dianne Feinstein there.
	He's got Cornyn on the side, gun control senators, both.
	And he says, well, you know, you do your stuff, you know, and you put in your rules.
	I'll sign it.
	Whatever you want to put in, I'll sign it.
	Some of this I can do myself.
	I can just ban bump stocks and things like that.
	No, you can't.
	No, you can't.
	Not and have any legitimate authority, you can't.
	You see, the problem is, I understand just as you do, that the Constitution is a dead letter.
	It is a historical document, and it's history.
	It's gone.
	It's sliced.
	It's diced.
	It's burned.
	It's shredded.
	And it's in the dumpster, okay?
	But it's a pattern that could be used if we ever get our country back from these foreign grifters.
	But most importantly, and the reason I talk about the Constitution, so that we can understand what legally sustained this country, the legal framework that was good for us for a couple of hundred years before these people destroyed it.
	Well, at least for 80 years before Lincoln took a whack at it.
	The hatchet-faced son of a nutmeg dealer.
	He took a hatchet to the Constitution.
	But nevertheless, at least 80 years there, it worked.
	But we need to understand what that pattern is.
	But most importantly, what do we talk about today?
	Because they all swear as a condition of their office to obey the Constitution.
	And when they thumb their nose at it and completely ignore it, They don't have any legitimate authority, and so it is simply a pragmatic issue.
	I have no moral authority to obey anything from the federal government.
	Not a thing.
	Not a thing.
	They deserve to be overthrown.
	The only question is, how do we do it without shedding a lot of innocent blood?
	That's the only concern.
	They have no legitimate authority for any of this stuff.
	The sovereign wealth, this is nothing but a kleptocracy, folks.
	Rule by a bunch of thieves for their own purpose, for their own benefit.
	That's what America is.
	And it's just a kleptocracy.
	Eric, thank you very much for the tip.
	Spencer DeLong, thank you as well.
	He says, happy birthday, Karen.
	Thank you.
	I'm sure she's listening.
	I hope you have a great day, and God bless the night, family.
	Thank you so much.
	That is a blessing.
	And another happy birthday to Karen from...
	SVC Cat.
	Thank you very much.
	Risha M. It might help if our government wasn't trafficking drugs for big pharma and black ops.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	That'd be a bigger help than putting 10,000 Canadian soldiers on the border.
	OctoSpook says, unlike most opiates, fentanyl can be lethal with the first use.
	It only takes a two milligram dose.
	Similar to five grains of salt to cause death.
	For an average-sized adult, I know, and I know several people who have had their children die from a fentanyl overdose.
	But, folks, where does this come from?
	As I've said over and over again, when you create prohibition programs, what you wind up with is more and more concentrated forms of fentanyl.
	And fentanyl, as I pointed out yesterday, was created by a pharmaceutical company, and they do sell it legally.
	And it's a synthetic opiate.
	And look, when we talk about the Sackler family, look at how many people got addicted to that stuff because they pushed it through doctors.
	And they do the same thing with the fentanyl stuff.
	But then it gets out on the street.
	And just as we saw with alcohol prohibition, you had people started making bathtub gin with wood alcohol.
	And people got it and went blind.
	This is a consequence of putting things, creating a very lucrative black market.
	Through prohibition, you get much, much more dangerous forms, and you also get more concentrated forms.
	As I said many times, prior to alcohol prohibition, the things that people drank for the most part were beer and wine.
	And then with alcohol prohibition, it started becoming, the number one thing was hard liquor.
	The concentration of the drugs continues to go up.
	That's the way the black market always works during prohibition.
	And it is a tragedy.
	But we need to understand where this tragedy is coming from.
	The issue is that it's our government that is doing the drug war.
	It's a war against us.
	The DEA knew exactly what they were just telling you.
	Oh, it's those other countries.
	In the same way that Trump is telling you, don't worry about the taxes.
	They're going to be paid by other people.
	Well, guess what?
	This war of drugs is being conducted primarily on Americans by the American government.
	It's not about getting the Iranians hooked on drugs.
	It's about getting us hooked on drugs.
	And they've done a bang-up job of it.
	Zoxoboxos says 50 pounds is only 5 million bucks at street prices.
	That's a lot more than chicken feed, fortunately, to do that with our 50-pound bag of chicken feed.
	Yeah, that's all.
	Street prices.
	We've got to stop $5 million worth of this stuff.
	How much is Canada going to spend to deploy 10,000 troops to the border?
	Where nothing is happening.
	Except in the mind of Jack Basoviet.
	That was one of the most reprehensible one-minute reports I have ever seen anybody do from Jack Basoviet.
	Soylent Goy.
	I remember when executive orders were big news because they were rare and controversial.
	George W. Bush rings a bell.
	That's right.
	But now what they've done is they've normalized it.
	They've put it on steroids and everything, everything that Trump is doing is an executive order.
	Everything.
	We're all dead, so they've conditioned people to be ruled by executive order.
	That's right.
	We cross the Rubicon.
	We've got an emperor.
	We no longer have the republic, just like the Roman Republic was gone with, put in Caesar.
	We've now got a Caesar.
	They've been itching to do this, and guess where the first czar in America was?
	Remember that?
	Bill Bennett.
	I'm the drug czar.
	I said, well, that's a fitting title, considering the fact that the war on drugs is an attack on all of us.
	To pave the way for an authoritarian society, call yourself a czar.
	William Bennett was so proud of that.
	This guy who wrote the Book of Virtues is calling himself a czar?
	This guy who is supposed to be a conservative leader is calling himself a czar?
	Yeah, yeah.
	Dustin Helm, how do you create a wealth fund when you're trillions of dollars in debt?
	That's right.
	You know, you just go down to Lucky Lutnik and you say...
	Can you create a scam for me with this?
	Yeah, you got to get the best people out there.
	The best people out there.
	This criminal who broke the Bank of England and the guy who has broken many personal fortune with all of his pump-and-dump scams.
	Lucky Lootnik.
	You go to them.
	That's how you do it.
	That's how you create a wealth fund when you've got no wealth.
	Little Ford Schoolhouse.
	Good to see you there.
	David, I've missed if you said, did you get our Christmas package?
	I'm not sure.
	I think we did.
	I think we did.
	But I'll double check with Karen.
	But thank you very much.
	I appreciate that.
	And I'll double check to see what that was.
	I'm pretty sure we did.
	It's been a couple weeks now.
	Zoxo Voxoz.
	Barta made it.
	Not the front-end companies used to cover for BARDA making it.
	BARDA made it.
	Not the front-end companies used to cover for BARDA making it.
	Okay.
	What he's saying is that the BARDA is the biological version of, like, DARPA. And the point is, yes, the MRA stuff, that's been in the works, and these vaccines have been in the works long before it rolled out with Pfizer.
	And even Moderna.
	And they handed it over to them and let them be the front companies for it.
	You know, kind of like what they do with the other drugs.
	The hallucinogenic drugs.
	The recreational drugs that they do with the drug war.
	And so I guess, you know, we should have gotten the money for that.
	All of the money for that.
	Well, they didn't want to get the credit for actually having made it.
	Matthew Ronson.
	Executive orders have become edicts when all they apply to is the federal government itself.
	So...
	Anyway, it's unclear, this article here at Zero Hedge says, it's unclear how the wealth fund, which Trump pledged on the campaign trail, he announced it at the New York Economics Club, or the Economics Club in New York, I forget.
	Anyway, he said, the greatest sovereign wealth fund of them all.
	But see, as I said before, it came about in these other countries.
	And by the way, Saudi Arabia and Norway, they don't have the U.S. Constitution to abide by.
	But you know what, Donnie?
	You do.
	You know, the king of Saudi Arabia and the Grand Poobah of Norway don't have the U.S. They didn't swear to uphold the U.S. Constitution.
	You did, so you don't have any authority to create something like this, number one.
	Number two, they had a windfall of finding oil.
	And so they said, what are we going to do with this?
	Well, we'll put it into a fund, and we'll call it a sovereign wealth fund.
	You don't have that either.
	Trump floated the idea.
	By the way, you know, we talk about federal ownership here.
	That was a key thing that was at the center of the Bundy Ranch issue.
	You know, driving ranchers off of the land that they had property rights to.
	They didn't own the land.
	And this is the thing that the mainstream media played on people's ignorance, saying, well, you know, Bundy thinks that he owns the land.
	No, he doesn't own the land.
	He doesn't think that.
	But when you look at miners or loggers or ranchers, They had surface rights.
	And the same piece of land could have grazing rights and water rights on it, and somebody could have mining rights on it as well.
	But those are rights.
	It doesn't mean that they own the land.
	But the question is, why does the federal government claim ownership of that land?
	Under the Constitution, they are to own forts and some ports, but not the land.
	And that was one of the key things that the Bundy people were saying.
	They said, constitutionally.
	And this was what happened prior to Lincoln changing the government and destroying the Constitution.
	But prior to the Civil War, when states would come into the Union, the territory would be parceled out for private ownership.
	And yet, after the Civil War, the federal government retained ownership.
	Unconstitutionally, of the land.
	Trump flowed the idea during address of the Economic Club of New York.
	There we go.
	During the campaign in September, where he proposed funneling money from tariffs into a wealth fund that could invest in manufacturing hubs, defense, and medical research.
	So, Zero Hedge is silent about that mRNA thing.
	Yeah?
	Gonna make two billion with a B? Two billion doses of mRNA?
	Hey, we need to make some money off of this.
	I don't care about the people dying.
	And of course, Trump didn't care about it either.
	He just threw money at people, paid people to kill people in the hospitals.
	So Trump said at the time, we will create America's own sovereign wealth fund to invest in a great national endeavors for the benefit of all American people.
	Trump said at the time and suggested the Wall Street and corporate leaders of the event could have a role to play.
	That's right.
	You join me and you can play the public.
	And you can make a lot of money playing the public.
	Yes, the whole thing is a kleptocracy.
	That's why you've got all these billionaires lined up.
	You've never seen anything like this before with any president.
	All these billionaires lining up, kissing the ring, bowing the knee, because they know they're going to be cut in on this.
	You know what?
	Probably, if you had a back scene of what was going on at the inauguration parties in one of the rooms, remember that scene from The Godfather?
	Where they have the guy who is the godfather in Florida, Hyman Roth, and he's cutting up the cake and he's handing out pieces to people as he's talking about who's going to get which territory and the Cuban gambling and all the rest of the stuff.
	Remember that?
	It was probably a scene like that at Mar-a-Lago.
	Where the Don is handing out all of these different favors, you know, just like pieces of cake on a platter.
	What a genius scene that was by Francis Ford Coppola in The Godfather.
	A genius movie.
	But anyway, yeah, that's probably what was going on at Mar-a-Lago and these inauguration parties.
	Just handing it all out.
	Yeah, you're going to have a role to play here.
	Join me.
	We'll have a public-private partnership, and we'll loot this country seven ways to Sunday.
	So, the question then, you know, he's going to create this sovereign wealth fund, even though we are 36 plus trillion dollars in debt, and, you know, within the year that he says that he's going to do it, since we're adding a trillion to one and a half trillion every 100 days, before they get this sovereign wealth fund put together, we'll be 40 trillion dollars in debt.
	So I don't know where the wealth is going to come from, except they'll find a way to make money off of this.
	But to what evil and corrupt purpose will they use it?
	Will it be the mRNA stuff?
	They're certainly not going to use it to pay off the debt or anything responsible like that.
	So we'll have to wait and see.
	As many people are saying, this is the New York Times, it's unclear how the U.S., which already spends more money than it collects in taxes, that's an understatement of the century.
	How the U.S. would finance such a fund.
	Yeah, well, you know, it's all an investment, isn't it?
	So, we'll have to wait and see.
	Trump said the fund could help to finance a purchase of TikTok.
	We're not going to build infrastructure.
	We're going to get into some speculative garbage like that.
	And there is absolutely, and this is, it's crony capitalism combined with bullying, right?
	It's a bully capitalism.
	We're going to bully TikTok and say, you've got to sell it.
	And you need to sell it to me.
	We're going to make you an offer you can't refuse, right?
	Because if they don't sell it to Trump, they're going to wind up with a horse head in their bed when they wake up one day, right?
	And so, yeah, you sell it to us at a good price.
	And Lutnik and Besant will set themselves up and shell corporations to make money off of this.
	And Trump says, I have the right to do that.
	No, you don't.
	First of all, president doesn't give you any rights at all.
	No rights are associated with a presidency.
	You have powers and you have authority.
	But you have violated your authority when you violate your oath to the Constitution and you don't have any legitimate powers.
	You are nothing other than a tyrant with a pen and an executive order.
	I have the right to do that.
	You had the same statement with the Second Amendment.
	And we put that in the Sovereign Wealth Fund.
	And whatever we make, or if we do a partnership with very wealthy people, that's what it is.
	It's a partnership with very wealthy people.
	And so Besant said the fund would be set up within the next 12 months.
	Right about the time I guess we passed the $40 trillion mark.
	Said we could monetize assets currently owned by the U.S. government, quote, for the American people.
	Yeah, it's all for us, isn't it?
	All the taxes are going to be paid by foreign countries and companies.
	You're not going to pay it in higher prices with the tariffs, right?
	And any income taxes is going to be paid by people in blue states.
	No, not you.
	And all the money, though.
	All the money that goes in the sovereign wealth fund, that's all going to come back to you.
	So, like I said before, it was oil from some of these people that create a sovereign wealth fund.
	It's nothing at all like that.
	Look, Trump's agenda is not so much about reducing government as it is about making it into a cash cow for himself and his friends.
	The reducing of the government is what he does to get people cheering him.
	And look, there's something.
	I'm going to talk about the Department of Education.
	I'd cheer if we get rid of the Department of Education.
	Does that mean that I'm a Trump supporter now?
	That if he does something right, I ignore the 99 other things that he did wrong?
	No, no.
	But he does this.
	He throws these crumbs to the conservative populace in order to get them to go along with this grift, with insanity, with the oppression that's coming out of D.C. and the corruption.
	But this is truly economic fascism.
	Economic fascism is a merger of government and business.
	That's exactly what we're talking about.
	But even more so than fascism, it is really about kleptocracy, a rule by thieves.
	Listen to what Trump has to say.
	It's just like we look at Lucky Lutnik, and he says, yeah, you know, next time we pull one of these scams on people, we need to make billions of mRNA vaccines.
	We need to make money off of this.
	Trump is looking at Ukraine, and it's like, you know what?
	We need to get some of the resources there.
	That's all he cares about.
	He looks at Syria and he goes, hey, let's go there and take the oil.
	Let's go to Ukraine.
	Let's get the rare earth minerals.
	We're telling Ukraine they have very valuable rare earth.
	We want what we put up to...
	Go in terms of a guarantee.
	We want a guarantee.
	We're handing them money hand over fist.
	We're giving them equipment.
	The European is not keeping up with us.
	They should equalize.
	Look, we have an ocean in between.
	They don't.
	It's more important for them than it is for us.
	But they're way below us in terms of money.
	And they should be paying at least equal.
	They should really be paying much more than us.
	But let's say equal to us.
	And they're billions and billions of dollars below.
	So we're looking to do a deal with Ukraine where they're going to secure what we're giving them with their rare earth and other things.
	Oh, okay.
	So this is kind of a little bit of an intro as to where we're going with the great taking, right?
	Let's leverage everybody up with debt.
	Yeah, I mean, we've just, we're so far, we're just going to have to, for my friends.
	You know, who run the hedge funds and stuff like that.
	We're going to have to start taking your natural resources, your homes, your farms.
	And we've got to take it so you can pay off your debt as they push us further and further into debt.
	Oh, but don't worry.
	He's only talking about Ukraine.
	Trump's not talking about it.
	This is what they're going to do.
	We've been telling you this for a long time.
	This is what they're going to do.
	Swamp us with debt.
	Crash the economy.
	Take everybody's jobs.
	Crush human wages.
	Well, now we have to take your property and your natural resources and all the rest of this stuff, right?
	These people are pirates.
	Criminal, lying, thieving pirates.
	Pirates.
	Kleptocracy.
	The leaders whose purpose is chiefly to acquire status and wealth at the expense of the governed.
	And it is necessarily tyrannical and corrupt.
	That's what we're talking about here.
	Well, we're going to take a break, and we'll be right back.
	DG8, thank you for the tip, he says, David, why bother with the House or the Senate?
	It's a monarchy.
	Everything by executive order.
	Well, yeah, the House and Senate don't do anything anyway.
	They kick it all over to the bureaucracy.
	Unelected, unaccountable people that are there.
	Everything is temporary.
	Presidents are selected.
	Tyranny is easy when the public goes to sleep trusting the plan.
	Knights of the Storm.
	A wealth fund is ripe opportunity for the skimming.
	Absolutely.
	Again, you can find Knights of the Storm on Rockfin and Twitter.
	And we have their broadcast.
	That's Jason Barker and Angry Tiger.
	Nabooru 2029. Trump never, like most of the selected politicians, never swore on any Bible to uphold the Constitution.
	Well, it wouldn't matter if he did.
	And I said that.
	I said, why did we used to care?
	Look, we had a lot of presidents, FDR, Eisenhower, they're all having adulterous affairs and that type of thing.
	But they pretended otherwise.
	Because they needed to pretend otherwise.
	The American public was wise enough at that time to realize that if somebody...
	Doesn't follow through on their oath to their wife.
	They're not going to follow through on their oath to you either.
	And so they had to fool them.
	And they did fool them.
	They did keep the affairs and the adultery secret.
	Trump parades it.
	And we said, that's fine.
	We don't care about somebody who openly breaks his oath to his wives over and over again.
	And not only does he do that, it isn't enough that he just...
	Ruins the marriage and walks away.
	No, no, no.
	He's got to come after them and taunt them as well.
	Head JDA, Trump is looking for a soft landing.
	J.D. Vance will come to power very soon.
	Maybe.
	Yeah.
	You know, Trump's not getting any younger.
	I mean, he's in excellent shape, apparently.
	I mean, he seems to be mentally sharp and physically fit, you know.
	Especially when you consider his...
	I know he's a little bit on the heavy side, but, you know, all of us are, I guess, in America.
	But when you consider his diet of McDonald's...
	And you see these people that live to be, you know, 100 years old and they smoke a cigar every day or something.
	You know, it happens.
	Anyway, Naburo2029 says that Jared and Princess Ivanka...
	Made $650 million off of Daddy Don's COVID pandemic.
	Made a killing in Saudi Arabia as well, didn't they?
	12 June 1776, Congress would not vote for a sovereign wealth fund.
	Why would Congress allow a deep straight administrative agency, the Sovereign Wealth Fund, to spend the people's fund without Congress?
	Yeah, and Congress is really watching out for our interests, aren't they?
	That's a rhetorical question, I guess, because Congress isn't going to do anything.
	They might hold some hearings.
	After everything blows up, they'll hold some hearings, but they won't change anything.
	Jason Barker, good to see you, Jason, says, Morning, all.
	I hope the government can handle a wealth fund better than they did Social Security.
	Yeah.
	It would be another Ponzi scheme, probably, just like that.
	Well, we're going to take a quick break, and we'll be right back.
	Hello, it's me, Volodymyr Zelensky.
	I'm so tired of wearing these same t-shirts everywhere for years.
	You'd think with all the billions I've skimmed off America, I could dress better.
	And I could if only David Knight would send me one of his beautiful grey MacGuffin hoodies or a new black t-shirt with the MacGuffin logo in blue.
	But he told me to get lost.
	Maybe one of you American suckers can buy me some at thedavidknightshow.com.
	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. Here's a little song I wrote.
	You might want to hear it in your pod.
	You know nothing.
	And be happy.
	Ain't got no cash.
	Ain't got no car.
	But 24 booster shots in your arm.
	Oh, nothing.
	Be happy.
	You can't even buy s***.
	In the store.
	Because of your low social credit score.
	Own nothing.
	Be happy.
	You will own nothing.
	Woo-hoo!
	And be happy.
	Be happy and eat the bugs.
	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.
	Well, welcome back.
	12 June 1776 says for rare earths.
	That's owned by Russia.
	Look at the map of where rare earths are in Ukraine.
	Trump is lying.
	Well, man, maybe he's just getting confused with Greenland.
	Or whatever.
	Who knows what it is.
	But let's take a look.
	We're talking about a wealth fund.
	Maybe we should look at the TVA, the Tennessee Valley Authority.
	Now, this is something that was created by FDR, one of the first of the big public works programs.
	And just as we saw with North Carolina and the hurricane, that was not a unique thing.
	Do you remember when that happened?
	People and I showed pictures.
	of 100 years earlier, where you had Asheville flooded like that.
	But throughout the Tennessee Valley here, they used to have a lot of flooding on a regular basis, and it would wipe out the farms and destroy everything in its path, just as we've seen with this hurricane.
	And so what they did was they set up a series of dams and other things like that, hydroelectric power.
	And they created the TVA, the Tennessee Valley Authority.
	It's a kind of quasi-private, quasi-government authority.
	And we have the top-paid federal employee.
	As I said before, the top-paid federal employee was not Anthony Fauci.
	It was actually this guy who is the CEO of the TVA, the Tennessee Valley Authority, Jeff Liash.
	And he made $10.5 million.
	And he's not the only one at the TVA that's making multiple millions of dollars a year on salaries.
	And so they run the utilities for the area.
	He was put in by Trump in 2019. Trump was angry.
	He said, I should fire this guy.
	He's making too much money.
	And yet, you know, he didn't fire him, didn't fire Fauci.
	Now, Fauci was working for the NIH. And when you look at the TVA, you know, we've got a lot of these different, You know, organization like the Federal Reserve is private, but everybody, they give it federal authority.
	The TVA is kind of, I don't know exactly how this thing is set up, but it's part private, part federal.
	It's amazing how these people can create this ambiguity and rip us off seven ways to Sunday.
	Of course, we're going to see more of that with the Sovereign Wealth Fund as well.
	But it is part private and part public, apparently.
	And, of course, the CDC. Makes money selling vaccines, and it's the biggest vaccine seller.
	So you've got all these different organizations that have been set up, and they usually find a way to start making money on the side.
	Or they're set up to do that in the beginning.
	And so he has now resigned 11 days after Trump took office.
	Trump had already threatened to fire him.
	He could see the handwriting on the wall.
	But again, Trump didn't fire Fauci the first time through.
	I wonder, was he going to give the TVA guy, give him a medal too?
	I know, I know.
	Not a medal.
	It's a commendation, suitable for framing or something, right?
	Nevertheless, praising him.
	Trump said at the time that Liash should have been earning no more than $500,000 a year.
	And shouldn't get a lavish exit package.
	By law, the president earns $400,000 annually in addition to a $50,000 allowance for expenses.
	Members of Congress receive a yearly salary of $174,000.
	The bottom line, folks, as I've mentioned over and over again in terms of Fauci, no federal employee is supposed to make more than the vice president, who makes just over $200,000.
	Fauci's boss...
	Francis Collins of the NIH and his boss's boss, Javier Becerra at HHS, they all had their salaries capped at the vice president's level, but Fauci, for some reason, was able to make more than the $400,000 that the president gets.
	And, of course, he got royalties on the bioweapon and all the rest of this stuff.
	So, again, the TVA is an FDR legacy violating the Constitution, and look at what happens.
	As you start to do this, right?
	This is set up, and you've got bipartisan criticism of the TVA from people who say, look, this is set up to help poor people.
	And here you have these people paying themselves millions of dollars.
	What do you think is going to happen with this corrupt sovereign wealth fund?
	You know, at least the TVA in the beginning stopped the floods and delivered electricity to poor rural Appalachian communities.
	Sovereign wealth.
	They're talking about buying TikTok.
	This is what's happened to our corrupt government.
	It doesn't serve any purpose at all.
	So, the TVA manages hydroelectric dams, nuclear power plants, and they want to get into...
	It's not good enough for them to have hydroelectric power.
	They want solar and wind.
	And they want battery energy storage sites that I've talked about before.
	Massive lithium battery storage sites.
	But the other TVA employees that are making millions a year.
	John Thomas, raking in $6.3 million a year.
	Chief financial officer.
	Yeah, financial indeed.
	Don Mool, earning $5 million.
	I prefer the term raking in to earning.
	I don't know what this guy is doing that makes him worth $5 million.
	Come on.
	It's ridiculous.
	So that's two more guys.
	One of them making $6.3 million.
	Another one making $5 million.
	Another one making $3.3 million.
	General Counsel David Fountain.
	And the Chief Nuclear Officer Tim Roush taking home $3.3 million as well.
	Okay.
	Half a dozen people there making multi-million dollar salaries.
	And as I said before, criticism has been bipartisan.
	Republicans have criticized this.
	Steve Cohen, a Democrat in Tennessee, telling The Post in 2020 that Leish's pay was, quote, out of line for a public agency.
	He said, many TVA executives make over a million dollars running an agency that is set up to render energy and aid to a poor region in our country that still suffers economically in many areas.
	This makes the out-of-line salaries even more distasteful.
	And guess what these people who are making these obscene salaries are pushing?
	Net zero.
	Net zero.
	If you look at their website, you'd be hard-pressed to tell the difference between the TVA's website and Keir Starmer, the leader of the Labour Party, and what he's pushing on people in the UK. They want to do the same thing to us here in Tennessee.
	And it's not just Tennessee.
	It's many states.
	They actually supply power down to Mississippi even.
	But this massive federal bureaucracy paying these executives millions of dollars a year want to take everything from us.
	Everything from us.
	They're pushing this net zero stuff.
	You know, if we look at inflation, Calculate the price of 30 pieces of silver, compounded over 2,000 years, right, with inflation and all the rest of this stuff.
	That's what it looks like.
	Looks like this kind of executive compensation.
	Judas could have been an executive for some federal quasi-public-private partnership.
	So they're bragging back in September of 2020 that they were going to be putting in their first grid-scale battery storage system.
	These things, folks, Are a threat to our affordability, our sustainability, our reliability, and to our safety.
	Because they are a fire threat.
	And we've seen this.
	This is Elon Musk pushing these things out.
	He told people in Australia, he said, hey, I'll put this thing in, and I'll get it in under whatever the number of days was.
	I'll get it in under 50 days, or you don't have to pay me anything.
	But if I do, you know, you have to pay me tens of millions of dollars or whatever it is.
	I don't know what it was.
	But it also caught fire.
	And when you get lithium battery fires, you know, they're hard to put out.
	Especially when they're a collection of batteries that are big enough to store the backup for the grid.
	So back in September 2020, the TVA announced the first owned and operated grid-scale battery storage system.
	Near an industrial complex in Vaughnor, Tennessee.
	It was built around lithium batteries, and this battery energy storage system, BESS, capable of storing enough power to power more than 10,600 homes for three hours.
	It's not expected to reach operational status, they said, until 2022, so presumably it's working now.
	TVA is building the energy grid of the future.
	This pilot project will be clean, low-cost, reliable electricity, and it will help us to meet our sustainable goals.
	A globalist UN organization that has globalist UN sustainable goals.
	And if you want to talk about being clean, that's presuming that it doesn't catch fire, and that's ignoring...
	All of the coal that is used to make the solar panels that is backing up and all the rest of the stuff.
	Don't talk about it being clean.
	It's no cleaner than anything else.
	The fact that it's low cost, it's going to raise the price as we've seen with these windmills and these solar power things.
	They just shut down a massive solar system that's out in the Mojave Desert.
	That should be ideal conditions, shouldn't it?
	Sunshine all the time.
	Of course, if it does get too hot, The efficiency goes down.
	But they're shutting it down.
	Massive solar farm.
	Now, one of the things about these solar farms, they go in and they destroy the farmland.
	They destroy forests and things like that to put these things up.
	They didn't have to do that out in the desert.
	But it is not low cost.
	It'll probably raise our electric prices by a factor of four or five times higher.
	That's what they're estimating on Long Island, for example.
	And is it reliable?
	Of course not.
	It's not reliable even with this.
	This is going to let them back it up and give three hours worth of power.
	Well, then what do you do?
	Shut it down.
	The reliable power is going to be for them.
	As Trump said, the grid, it's old, it's vulnerable.
	So you need to put your power right next to your plant or your AI spy center.
	This BESS will be the TVA's first battery storage system to go online, though it intends to create more grid-scale battery storage systems in the future.
	A 200-megawatt-hour addendum to the upcoming solar project that is down in Mississippi.
	And so this one that they were putting in was going to be, what was it, 40-something, 40-megawatt-hours of energy.
	So they were going to do something five times bigger than that.
	Because it always gets bigger each time.
	And so we look at their website.
	Pull this up, Whistler.
	The TVA site talking about energy storage.
	Yeah, scroll down.
	Look at that.
	Target.
	Carbon-free by 2050. What does carbon-free mean?
	It means no food, no clothing, no travel, no farms.
	That's what it means.
	And so you see on the side panels there, they've got...
	Different tabs that you can click about electric vehicle evolution, electrifying school transportation, electric school buses.
	That's what they're selling.
	That garbage.
	That kind of boondoggle garbage is what they're selling.
	They want us to be carbon-free by 2050. And this is being pushed, not by the Labor Party in the UK, but by this massive TVA. That's paying a half dozen executives millions of dollars a year.
	Yeah, it is absolutely a betrayal.
	And if you want to know what is happening with the 2050 stuff, and that's what this is all about, this is a farmer talking about some information that's just been leaked about the Labor Party's plans for this net zero stuff and carbon-free.
	I think carbon-free, just think of that.
	This is serious now, guys.
	I'm in receipt of a document which states that by 2030, there is to be a 50% reduction in farmed animals.
	And by 2050, a 100% zero farm animal system in place.
	And guess who has signed up to that?
	Yes, the two biggest assholes in the world.
	Starmer and Bill Gates.
	What more proof do I want?
	And I've got it in writing.
	So it looks like their little world takeover is coming along nicely for them.
	But unfortunately, we've now got the document.
	So, over to us now, guys.
	At World War IV commence.
	We don't need to be at war with Russia.
	We're going to create our internal one.
	Keep Britain farming, folks.
	It's hard off, isn't it?
	Yeah, that's right.
	Yeah, the people threatening us.
	Not the Russian and Chinese.
	We has met the enemy, and they is us, aren't they?
	Naburu2029 says lithium batteries are greater toxic waste than spent nuclear rods.
	Well, I wouldn't be surprised.
	A smoky 73 bandit said, I work in a coal-fired power plant, and it's clean energy.
	And it is.
	It is absolutely possible to clean up.
	Just look at what they've done to cars.
	It costs more money.
	But look at what they've done to cars.
	You know, like I said, I drive around typically in a convertible.
	Not lately, but pretty cold.
	And the convertible is down.
	But, you know, I drive around.
	It's very, very rare for me to get behind anybody that I can smell the exhaust.
	That used to not be the case back in the early 70s when I had a Spitfire convertible.
	You know, it's constantly, you know...
	Getting the exhaust fumes of all these different cars.
	It is extremely rare.
	Extremely rare.
	So you can clean up anything like that.
	You can clean up diesel, you can clean up gasoline, and you can clean up coal plants.
	Why are they prohibited?
	Because we've got so much of it.
	We've got more coal than Saudi Arabia and the Middle East has oil.
	Even when Time and Newsweek were saying, we're going to be out of...
	Oil and natural gas by the mid-1980s.
	They said that in 1970, and I have shown you the magazines over and over again.
	But they said we've got 666 years of coal.
	666. So they had to demonize it because they have to make sure that they impoverish all of this stuff.
	It's not about what they say it's about.
	It's about taking...
	Stuff that is plentiful and clean and serving us is about, it's an attack on us.
	It's war on us.
	Taking our farms, taking our food, taking our energy.
	That's what it's all about.
	Every bit of it.
	And Retech Weird says you also can't recycle solar panels, dumpsters, sculptures.
	And the same thing is true of the massive turbines from the women.
	They are not recyclable either.
	Remember when that used to be the byword of everything?
	Everything had to be recyclable?
	Now where has the recyclable been for the solar panels and the turbine blades at the landfill?
	I don't see it there.
	We're going to take a break.
	a break we'll be right back the common man they created common core and dumbed 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.

	Thank you.
	you you You're listening to The David Knight Show.
	Well, I saw this post yesterday.
	Everybody was talking about the sovereign wealth thing on Twitter.
	Shannon Joy, a good person.
	I've been on her show a couple of times.
	And she sees this post from a guy named Callie Means.
	And I didn't know who Callie Means was.
	And when I saw her retweet this, I looked him up.
	She says he's with Maha.
	Maha, right?
	I think at this point, when we see Maha, our response ought to be ha-ha.
	It's a joke.
	She says, Maha supports vaccine mandates?
	Are you insane, Callie Means?
	And what she's responding to is a post he put up.
	He said, here's the three Maha pillars.
	It's RFK Jr. A lot of people ran it.
	Number one, gold star science.
	Well, that's an interesting way to put it.
	You know, we don't only have Gold Star families, people who have been killed in wars, right?
	Families of service members have been killed in wars.
	I think they call it Gold Star.
	So I guess, you know, this is a bioweapon war against the American people, so I guess the people are sacrificed for this.
	Do you get a Gold Star from the government?
	No, they pretend that it didn't happen.
	Anyway, he says, number one, Gold Star science.
	We currently recommend, and by the way, I hate to be a grammar Nazi, but he misspelled recommend.
	Anyway, we currently recommend added sugar to kids, and 50% of FDA studies can't be reproduced.
	Number two, he says, we've got to stop subsidizing poison.
	Soda is the top snap item.
	Okay, so that's the, you know, grocery subsidy that the federal government gives.
	Number three, patient choice.
	Less mandates.
	Less mandates.
	Less mandates?
	Seriously?
	How about no mandates?
	And you think that soda is poison, but you want to ignore the mRNA vaccines?
	Wow.
	Wow.
	So, exactly who is this guy?
	Callie Means.
	Well, there was a post up by Art Vandelay.
	If you know Seinfeld, you know the joke there.
	Callie Means is a fraudster, he said, and so is his sister.
	They're marketing and sales people.
	They're not medical experts.
	They're selling you wellness, quote-unquote.
	If you can't see this, you are as blind as a bat.
	So I said it's ha-ha.
	The ha-ha movement.
	This was put up by Armageddon Pros on Substack.
	His name is Ben Barty, the guy who writes it.
	He says, Kelly means the Maha superstar who served as the nexus point connecting RFK Jr. to Trump.
	Well, I don't know that Trump needed to have a middleman.
	He had already used RFK Jr. in his first term, as I pointed out.
	Try to position himself to the public as somebody who opposed vaccine.
	Ha ha.
	That's the ha ha movement.
	The joke was on us, right?
	If you believed any of that stuff.
	But anyway, this guy says, Ben Barty says, you don't need to be an expert on body language to see the typical patterns of a liar.
	He's talking about his appearance on a podcast.
	He said, the uncomfortable shifting, the stuttering, the constant deflections, the nervous laughter, the canned talking points.
	He says, just purely aesthetically, with his slicked back hair and his suit and tie ensemble, Callie emits extreme Gavin Newsom, Jared Kushner, American psycho vibes.
	He says, for instance, the most troubling portion of the interview came when he wouldn't answer direct questions about whether the COVID shots should be pulled.
	Despite reams of evidence speaking to their fatal side effects, And the fact that they don't prevent transmission, don't prevent infection, and the fact that they rigged the clinical outcomes.
	All of this stuff was a sham.
	It was a shamdemic.
	But he said, I'd be willing to consider seriously the possibility that Cali Means is simply ignorant on the dangers of the COVID shots, except that when presented with all the relevant facts by the intrepid guest on the podcast, neurosurgeon Dr. Jack Cruz, he was utterly incurious.
	About pursuing any of these avenues and instead deflected at every turn, only addressing the issue when pressed over and over with doggedness by Cruz.
	And so, as he kept pushing him on this, he'd say, Jack, Jack, Jack, I want to have a conversation.
	That was a constant refrain from means.
	He says, I'm speaking from the heart.
	And Ben Barty says, well, anybody who tells you 50 times in two hours that they're speaking from the heart is most certainly deceiving you.
	Especially when they say, look, I'm going to tell you the truth.
	I'm going to tell you the truth.
	I love that.
	That's another tell.
	You've got to say something like, okay, now, listen.
	Forget about what I was just saying before.
	Now I'm going to tell you the truth for real, okay?
	If in the end it turns out that Callie is entirely on the level and all his gross body language and obfuscating rhetoric is simply the product of his extensive training as a pharmaceutical industrial lobbyist, groomed before that in the Ivy League, prior to seeing the light, I would suggest that he ditch that BS and start talking like a human.
	Well, again, he's saying that the...
	The Pillars of Maha?
	Are we going to get rid of Soda Pop and we'll have fewer mandates about mRNA vaccines?
	Is that really a solution to anything?
	Are we being had?
	Of course we're being had.
	The next time you hear the CIA or Alex Jones or mainstream media or Peter McCullough or even RFK Jr. talk about lab leaks, you're being had.
	That is the scam, folks.
	That is the bull-faced lie.
	They're telling you that to sell you on the fact that it was real.
	And it wasn't real.
	And we know that.
	Just take a look at the fact that you don't have any kids dying from any of this stuff.
	The ones who got sick were the ones who got the vaccine.
	The ones who got heart attacks were the ones who got the vaccine.
	Heart attacks unheard of in children before this.
	Unheard of in children who didn't get the jab from Trump.
	The one that Howard Lutnick wants to...
	Piece of the financial action on the next time.
	That's the only reform we get.
	That next time they get paid, they get a piece of betrayal.
	Look, it was a scam.
	And they told everybody, oh, the pandemic only affects our early people.
	And that was one of the things I said the early days.
	I said, all right, you look at this.
	You look at their legendary, and it is a legend, but you look at their legendary gold standard of pandemics, the 1918 flu.
	And I said, even in that, When they break down the demographics by age of death, you had people that were over 80, and you had babies that were dying.
	And then in the middle, it was pretty evenly distributed.
	But you had these two big things.
	And I said, well, that's because babies are susceptible to disease and have a higher mortality rate at the beginning, and people over 80. Have a higher mortality rate, obviously.
	And so, are they projecting a pandemic onto that even for the 1918 flu?
	But they were certainly doing it for this one.
	And they didn't even claim that it was killing babies with this one.
	It was just people who were over the age of life expectancy and had multiple comorbidities.
	And they said, well, we've got a diagnostic test that shows that they're all going to die.
	Look.
	When you hear the lab stuff being put out by these people, when you see the ha-ha movement telling you that we've got to have fewer mandates, and the main thing is we've got to stop with that soda pop stuff, right?
	And he even calls it sugar.
	It'd be better if it was sugar.
	It's high fructose corn syrup.
	That's what it really is.
	So the whole thing is a scam.
	And anybody who sells you this stuff is like this guy.
	They're selling you products.
	They're selling you a line.
	They're selling you a lie that is going to be used to justify everything that was done before.
	And it's going to be used to prepare you for what's coming next.
	This is a good example of it.
	Code 33. And of course, the Masonic symbols here.
	33 confirmed positive tests.
	We have 33 Pennsylvanians who have tested positive to COVID-19.
	Today we have 33 cases.
	There were 33 new cases.
	The state of Minnesota today reported 33 new COVID-19 related deaths.
	There are 33 confirmed cases in Arkansas.
	That's the largest single day increase so far, raising the total to 33. 33. 33. There were 33 cases in North Carolina.
	33. There was 33 everywhere.
	Yes!
	I think that was Red Team Go.
	I think 33 is like Red Team Go.
	Everybody goes, okay, let's do it.
	It's time.
	Yeah, 100%.
	33 everywhere.
	33,000 33s and 33 new cases.
	33 people died.
	In Hong Kong, the number 33, we all know what that represents.
	Everywhere, every single day, it was like, well, 12 more cases, which now brings the state to 33. We had 33 cases today.
	We had 11 cases, which now it's 33. 33 more people, I'm going, oh my...
	How dumb do you have to see to not understand this is going on?
	Yeah, that was green light go.
	We're off to the races.
	You've been subject to propaganda and lies by people who are very well trained in how they do that.
	If you find one thing your government has said which is clearly not true, I ask you this.
	Why would you believe anything else they've told you?
	That's right, yeah.
	As We're All Dead says, maha.
	A psyop to take your mind off the vaccines.
	Anything but the vaccines.
	And look, all these people who are part of this Maha stuff.
	RFK Jr. now writing a book on the lab leak stuff.
	Peter McCullough pushing it so he can sell his supplements and all the rest of the stuff.
	Yeah, that's a lie.
	We'll be right back.
	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.
	Yes, and a couple of comments here.
	Jason Barker says, I've owned multiple string lights for my deck that charge a battery via solar during the day to run the lights at night.
	We too.
	And we've seen the same thing he's seen.
	And I've seen this on all the comments online where people rate the products.
	He said they work great for about a year, then they won't stay on it all.
	After that at night, the same thing is going to happen to the big battery energy storage sites.
	The same thing happens to all the battery-operated devices.
	It's not just the cheap lights that are out there.
	They're the ones that are the most obvious.
	But it happens to all of your lithium devices, whether it's your phone or your computer or any of this stuff.
	And so it's a planned obsolescence that is there.
	And then you're going to replace this, though, with something that is extremely, extremely dangerous.
	A recent fire at one of these battery energy storage sites in California, Northern California, the Vistra Moss Landing Power Plant and Energy Storage Facility in Northern California, one of the world's largest lithium-ion battery storage facilities, has poisoned a vital nature reserve in the area.
	The battery storage facility was used to store power from solar panels during the day, provided to consumers in the evening, because the disaster has been caused by, quote, renewable and, quote, clean energy sources.
	Those who campaign against nuclear power or against coal or whatever suddenly seem to not be overly concerned about the impact of renewable and clean energy on the environment and wildlife.
	This is a story that we've seen over and over again.
	And Smokey73Bandit says, David, we scrub SO2 up to 96% of it out of the flue gas and have bag houses that collect 99.9% of particulate matter.
	It's literally steam leaving the stack.
	Look, we've seen the same thing with diesel cars.
	You know, diesel...
	Got to be extremely expensive and technologically complex.
	I remember Mercedes had some kind of a blue gel or something.
	Very expensive.
	But it was all about scrubbing and containing this.
	And it made the cost of ownership and the cost to purchase it and everything much, much higher.
	But it was totally clean.
	It's not a question of whether or not...
	But they demonize diesel.
	And they demonize coal.
	And so you say, well, they don't make the case that they're too expensive.
	The regulations make it very, very, very expensive, but they don't make that case.
	And their renewable stuff is ridiculously expensive.
	And that's the core of the fraud.
	The fact that you've got massive regulations that they put on to scrub stuff, the emissions, whether it's a car or diesel or whether it's a coal plant.
	You can make it clean.
	It's just a matter of cost.
	But they don't care about the cost.
	And they don't care about the cost of cleaning the diesel.
	They don't care about the cost of their renewables.
	It's all about forcing you to get rid of what works and buy what they're selling at a much, much higher price.
	And folks, what they're selling is a...
	Complete destruction of our economy and depopulation, really.
	I want to get into the opioid settlement, as a matter of fact, because this is something that just happened recently.
	And just last week, we had more developments in all this opioid stuff.
	And remember that the OxyContin stuff was manufactured by Johnson& Johnson.
	It was resold by Purdue Pharmaceutical and the Sackler family, and they're the ones who really pulled out all the stops in terms of selling this stuff to doctors, getting them to prescribe it.
	You remember when Rand Paul was attacked?
	He was out mowing his yard, and his Democrat neighbor, in a rage, ran up and blindsided him.
	He couldn't hear the guy coming because he's running the lawnmower.
	You know, he's got earphones on or whatever.
	Hits him in the back.
	Breaks some ribs.
	And he was in a great deal of pain.
	But he made a point saying, I'm not taking any of the opioids.
	I'm not taking OxyContin or any of the rest of the stuff.
	Rush Limbaugh got hooked on that stuff as well.
	But he said, I'm not taking any of that stuff.
	It's not necessarily even any better.
	than some of the other alternative painkillers that are out there.
	But it's a very dangerous thing, and they were pushing it on people, getting people addicted.
	Chris Christie, when he was running for president, said, wow, I'm not going to shut down, I'm not going to legalize marijuana.
	And the reason he gave was because he had a friend that he knew who was a lawyer.
	The guy was very successful in school, became a very, very successful lawyer with a partner in a law firm and all the rest of this stuff.
	And, you know, unlike Chris Christie, he exercised and jogged and he hurt his back.
	And they got him addicted to the opioids.
	And he lost his job.
	He lost his family.
	He lost everything.
	He committed suicide.
	And so Chris Christie says, therefore, I don't think that we should ever legalize marijuana.
	It's like, how is that connected?
	It's not connected at all, number one.
	You know, he's trying to equate it by saying you're going to get addicted.
	But, you know, the opioids, they're being sold by the pharmaceutical companies far more addictive than marijuana.
	I'm not saying that marijuana is not addictive.
	Look, I'm not an expert on drugs.
	I'm an expert on prohibition.
	Okay?
	And so, you know.
	You can have your opinions about it, but I will always oppose prohibition, especially when they don't have enough respect for the Constitution to pass the 18th Amendment like they did for alcohol, or the 21st Amendment to make alcohol legal again.
	Anyway, Perdue and the Sackler family have agreed to a $7.4 billion opioid settlement.
	See, these people, for their drugs that they push, they're not going to get the treatment that El Chapo did.
	They're not going to get civil asset forfeiture.
	They're not going to get all the RICO stuff and everything.
	No, no, no.
	They will negotiate with them.
	The federal government and all the state attorneys general will sit down at the table with them.
	Well, how much are you willing to pay?
	What can you really afford?
	It disgusts me to see how they were treated with kid gloves.
	And when they walk away, money was left on the table, they said.
	So they brought them back again.
	And they said, well, you know, we realize that you've actually...
	Could afford to pay us more than you really did.
	The deal represents an increase of more than a billion dollars on a previous settlement.
	Again, do they ever do settlements with Al Capone or with El Chapo?
	No, no.
	That deal was rejected in 2024 by the U.S. Supreme Court.
	Under the terms of the settlement, the Sacklers have agreed to pay up to $6.5 billion and for Purdue to pay $900 million.
	OxyContin.
	Has been blamed for supercharging the deadly opioid crisis in America.
	Well, absolutely.
	But again, it goes back to the pharmaceutical companies.
	It goes back to the CIA, which wants us to be down from drugs.
	The deal still needs to have the court approval, and some of the details are yet to be ironed out.
	Under Trump, the federal government is not expected to oppose the deal.
	Not going to oppose it.
	That's fine.
	Yeah.
	It's our pharmaceutical companies that are there.
	And again, Johnson& Johnson, with all the issues that they had, you know, lying to people about talcum powder, baby powder, and what it was.
	And even after, they knew the truth.
	They still sold it.
	And so they were rewarded by Trump in 2020. They said, oh, okay, Johnson& Johnson's never done any vaccines.
	Let's get them in the vaccine market.
	You know, they got this big opioid settlement and everything.
	They need a little bit of shot in the arm for their financial stuff, so let's help them to put shots in your arm.
	We'll give them a, we'll donate to them, factories even.
	And they did.
	A woman who has been in recovery for 17 years after becoming addicted to the painkiller, following a back injury, praised the deal.
	Kara Traynor said, Everything in my life is shaped by a company that put profits over human lives.
	You can say that about every one of these pharmaceutical companies, and you can say about these big hospital corporations, and you can say about most of the doctors that work for them.
	Profits over people.
	Profits over lives.
	Purdue, makers of OxyContin, the prescription painkiller promoter, is safe.
	Despite being aware that it was both highly addictive and widely abused, since 1999, a few years after the drug became available, deaths from opioid overdose surged to tens of thousands annually.
	court filings allege the sackler family was long aware of the legal risk and withdrew some 11 billion dollars from the company in the decade before its bankruptcy and they stashed much of the cash overseas so when did that ever stop them from going after drug overlords that they stashed the money overseas But we can't do that with these people, right?
	This is just corruption, folks.
	It's just corruption.
	Do you think that El Chapo stashed some stuff in other countries?
	Of course he did.
	But they don't care.
	So we have Trump ordering to stop virus research.
	The critics have linked to COVID. Again, I don't think they should be doing gain-of-function research.
	Because there's other things that they can accidentally do or create.
	But again, this is all to push the lab leak nonsense.
	This is described by Wall Street Journal as research that makes viruses more virulent or contagious.
	Show us the evidence.
	Show us the evidence.
	I don't believe any of this stuff.
	The Trump administration is preparing an executive order to halt federal funding, at least temporarily.
	It was halted in 2014 and had a reporter who did a lot of work about all these accidents where they were working with disease at the CDC labs and how there were so many of them spread all over the country.
	We had like 200 of them, biosafety level and level 3 and 4, typically adjacent to a university.
	You know, China had one there at Wuhan, a biosafety level 4. But anyway, after talking about all the different accidents that they'd had, sick animals that were released and so forth, they shut them down in 2014. Trump opened them up again in 2017. So now he's shutting them down?
	Is it because he's preparing us and because RFK Jr. is preparing us for another scandemic?
	Again, like I said, when RFK Jr. wrote the book about Fauci, His 12th chapter there really laid out the germ game stuff.
	But perhaps his lab leak thing was a bid to join the establishment.
	I don't know what's behind it.
	It's absolute nonsense.
	They say some viruses like bird flu pathogen are exempt from this order, however.
	Oh, really?
	Okay, so here's what they're telling you if you believe their virus paradigm.
	They're telling you that there's a virus that created a pandemic.
	They're telling you that bird flu is out there.
	His former CDC director, Robert Redfield, said, well, I know that it's going to mutate either naturally or it's going to do it in a lab and it's going to kill 25-50% of the people who get it.
	Everybody's like, whoa, that's much higher than we usually see.
	But they're going in, they're killing every single bird on a farm if they test, quote-unquote, test.
	It's not a test.
	If they get a positive result.
	From the PCRs.
	Not to be used for diagnostics, said the guy who invented it and won a Nobel Prize for that.
	But, you know, that's what they're doing.
	That's the game that they're doing.
	So that's more than 100% case fatality rate, right?
	Would you be better off with half a million chickens or no chickens, right?
	So they're using all of this stuff.
	They're telling everybody that this is dangerous.
	They're telling everybody that the pandemic came from a lab.
	I was working in a lab late one night.
	You know, that type of thing.
	It's from the lab.
	It's from the monster lab.
	So they're trying to tell everybody to do this.
	And so then Trump makes a big deal out of saying, it's so dangerous, I'm going to shut it down.
	He's selling the lab leak stuff too.
	And then he says, but I'm going to exempt the bird flu.
	Folks, they're playing us.
	They're playing us to come in here with this.
	And even Jay Bhattacharya is a part of this as well.
	He says, yeah, we've got to pause this research, but, you know, not on bird flu.
	Seriously?
	Seriously?
	We're talking about agencies that need to be abolished.
	Let's put the NIH in there.
	It's unconstitutional.
	It's dangerous.
	And it is the center of all of this stuff.
	And you've got people pushing back on it at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health.
	This very name screams criminal conspiracy, doesn't it?
	Johns Hopkins, Bloomberg, and public health.
	It's like a trifecta of criminal conspiracy right there.
	And they're saying it'd be a terrible idea to halt research necessary to protect us.
	Oh, we'll just hope it doesn't get out and cause another pandemic again where we have to lock everybody down and kill everybody with a bioweapon.
	That's what this is truly about.
	Malutin Malankovic, he says, lithium's lifespan in batteries is like five to eight years max.
	We'll lose more than 50% of its capacity.
	And that pretty much tracks what I've seen with my devices, the best of them.
	The best of them.
	Shadowboxer, a lot of people who were addicted to painkillers switched to heroin when they get their prescriptions.
	It was not an accident.
	It was a profitable depopulation.
	That's right, because, you know, heroin is, I think it's part of that family, right?
	I think heroin is, yeah, Whistler doesn't know either.
	We've been really blessed not to know our drugs.
	We're going to take a quick break, and when we come back, we're going to talk about the Department of Education.
	What's going on with that?
	As well as some of the other ones.
	That might be a bright spot in all of this bad news.
	So we're going to take a quick break and we will be right back.
	Thank you.
	And now, The David Knight Show.
	We have Doge planning to slash 70% of bureaucrats in a top federal agency.
	This is the Office of Personnel Management, and of course they've taken the keys from them, as they have in several of these other places.
	I'm glad to see that, but then when we look at it, and if we're going to just change some of the people that are there, but we're going to keep these institutions, is that really winning?
	And what kind of people are we putting in in some of these places?
	It just has surfaced that Sean Duffy, who is going to replace Booty Gay at the Transportation, the Secretary of Transportation, A few years ago was some kind of reality TV show, and apparently he did some kind of a strip tease dance.
	He had Duffy get down to the buff on a reality TV show.
	I unfortunately saw some of the stills from it.
	I have not watched the video for context or for any other reason.
	I don't want to see it.
	But it seems like now the transportation industry, our department, It's got to have somebody like Sean Duffy or Pete Boutier setting this up.
	Is that winning?
	Is that really winning?
	So, OPM leaders were ordered to prepare for an initial 30% reduction, which would ultimately grow to 70%, according to reports.
	Doge continues to email federal workers, offering them a deferred resignation opportunity.
	That allows individuals to resign from their federal positions by Thursday, two days from now, February the 6th, and allows them to receive full pay and benefits until September the 30th.
	And again, they're firing people who don't show up to work.
	I'd be more than willing to pay them to leave us alone.
	How about that?
	Can we make that deal?
	I mean, it's just funny money anyway being thrown out there by the Treasury.
	Doge has their next target, and Libs are bound to freak out.
	Says Town Hall.
	Guess what the next target is?
	The Department of Education.
	This thing that just turned 45. The Trump administration officials are weighing executive actions to dismantle the Education Department as part of the campaign by billionaire Musk and his allies to shrink federal agencies.
	The officials have discussed an executive order.
	Here we are again!
	Executive everything is an executive order.
	And of course, Congress does nothing.
	They hold hearings.
	But they don't do anything.
	He's discussed an executive order that would shut down all functions of the agency that aren't written explicitly into stature.
	How about we shut down any agency that isn't specifically written into the Constitution?
	That's what the 9th and 10th Amendments say.
	They said no powers would be assumed unless they've been expressly given to you.
	And if we forgot anything, if we forgot to prohibit you from doing anything, it doesn't mean that you're allowed to do it.
	That's what the 9th and 10th Amendments say in summary.
	So, if it's not explicitly written into stature, the order would call for developing a legislative proposal to abolish the department, the people said.
	Trump's advisors are still debating the specifics of the order and the timing.
	And so, we've already got, both in the Senate and in the House, we have legislation to get rid of the Department of Education.
	What are they waiting for, you might ask?
	Well, what they're saying is that they want to wait and get Linda McMahon, the wrestling owner, WWE wrestling owner, they want to get her in as the Secretary of Education.
	The reason they give is that they said that when they started, Trump Advisors said that when they started shutting down and firing people at some of these other agencies, for example, It complicated the confirmation of the director of OMB when they were firing people.
	So they want to get her in and then fire people.
	I don't understand why that makes it complicated, but they said that it did.
	So they said, from our experience, it would be better to have somebody there and then start to shut it down rather than start trying to fire people when there is no head of the agency there.
	The department will not be shut down entirely, as that would require an act of Congress.
	But this is a major hallowing out, and it's overdue.
	That's what Town Hall says.
	Now, it would require an act of Congress, and so that is in the works, as I said.
	You've got people in both the House and the Senate that have introduced bills.
	In the House, it was introduced by Thomas Massey, a one-sentence statement.
	It says, the Department of Education shall end on December 31, 2026. And again, I'm looking at it, it's like, why so long?
	Why are we going to keep it for another two years, essentially?
	Anyway, what do they do?
	Well, this is the way it's described by CBS. They say it distributes federal financial aid for education.
	It collects and disseminates data and research.
	It's also tasked with enforcing non-discrimination policies in schools.
	In other words, it's a massive bureaucracy.
	That serves no purpose at all.
	Look, if you want to give people money from Washington for which there's no constitutional authority or good reason to do it, you can easily do that with block grants to the states.
	But what they're doing is they're attaching strings to all that money.
	That's the purpose of the Department of Education.
	How have they pulled those strings?
	They've pulled those strings to get people to push out Common Core.
	To push out critical race theory.
	To push out the, you know, boys and the girls' showers and dressing rooms.
	The pornography books that are for the LGBT. It also supports federal college loan programs and Pell Grants.
	So they're saying, well, we can put all this stuff into other agencies.
	You know, if we're going to hand out money for loans, it can be handed out by the Treasury Department.
	So evidently, that's what they're looking to do.
	We've had Senator Mike Rounds of South Dakota has introduced the bill to get rid of the Department of Education in the Senate to abolish it.
	And they've already started kicking people out, as a matter of fact.
	Education Department employees have been placed on paid leave as part of the administration's DEI purge.
	If you're going to get rid of DEI, you have to get rid of the Department of Education.
	Because they've been the ones miseducating everybody about all of this stuff.
	They have been the seminary for this satanic agenda.
	And so if you don't get rid of the Department of Education, you can forget about all this DEI stuff.
	It'll all come back.
	They've also been scaring kids to death.
	About climate change and all the rest of this stuff.
	All of this curriculum centrally controlled by the Department of Education.
	Again, going back even to Bush and his Common Core stuff and all the rest of this.
	They sent out letters telling the people that they're getting rid of that their email accounts have been suspended and they've been put on administrative leave.
	And what they're focusing on are employees who attended some diversity training seminars.
	And they're coming back and you've got CNN as well as CBS saying, wait a minute, those DEI seminars were recommended by Betsy DeVos, the wealthy billionaire person that he previously put in charge of the Department of Education.
	That was Trump's Department of Education person recommending DEI stuff to people.
	And like I've said for the longest time, you know, you want to know where all this training stuff is coming from?
	People like Michael Flynn pushing it at the Pentagon in 2014 for their second Pride Month there.
	And there he is pushing that and handing it to a Navy SEAL who now has detransitioned and said, they deceive me even as an adult.
	It's horrific what is happening with this stuff.
	And you had Trump earlier than that pushing for trannies in his beauty contests.
	And so now they have flipped the switch on all this stuff, and you have to wonder just how sincere is all of this?
	Meanwhile, in the House, we've had a couple of congressmen from Tennessee.
	Tim Burchett and Andy Ogles have joined this bill to terminate the Department of Education.
	This is one I mentioned from Thomas Massey.
	One-line bill.
	The Department of Education shall terminate on December 31, 2026. Massey said, unelected bureaucrats in Washington, D.C. should not be in charge of our children's intellectual and moral development.
	That's right.
	And neither should bureaucrats at the state level or the local level be in charge.
	That's your job as a parent.
	That's your job as a parent.
	The intellectual and moral development of your children.
	That's the key thing about parenting.
	Burchett said, we've got a Department of Education, I guarantee you, not one bureaucrat in D.C. in that multi-billion dollar operation who has Ever educated a kid or taught them how to read, write, or do arithmetic in Davidson County, Tennessee?
	Look, that's not the purpose of the government schools.
	Why can't Johnny read?
	And I've said for the longest time, that's not the purpose.
	The purpose is social engineering.
	And they're doing a great job of that.
	That has always been their purpose.
	Vanderbilt University is scrubbing their DEI page because Trump is banning federal funding for places that do this at the EPA. 1,100 employees put on notice, warning that they could be fired immediately.
	And you have Lee Zeldin, who just took over at the EPA, said he went to the EPA office in Washington, D.C. He says it's about two city blocks.
	Massive facility.
	And he said, it wasn't that I just passed by an office or two that was empty.
	I went through an entire wing where no door was open.
	No one was inside.
	I went to other offices where there are lots of people there working hard.
	We're occupying a beautiful historic mass building, and we shouldn't have hallways that are this quiet.
	The American people pay us to work for them.
	You don't work for us.
	You're out there trying to destroy our cars, take our appliances, and the rest of this stuff.
	Get rid of these people.
	Shut down this agency.
	Don't legitimize it.
	In the eyes of the MAGA people, that's a betrayal.
	Anything less than shutting down these agencies is not something that I'm going to support.
	Look, I'll pay you to leave me alone.
	How about that?
	That's all I want from these people is to be left alone.
	We're going to take a quick break.
	And we're going to come back because I want to talk about what's going on with money, with gold.
	It's really strange what's happened in the last couple of days, especially when you look at the tariffs and the reaction of the markets to the tariffs and the reaction of the markets to the tariff pause has been very telling, I think.
	Matthew Ronson says they'll want AI to replace all the bureaucrats.
	Yep, that's what they'll do.
	And it'll be an eternal tyranny that's going to be there.
	Angry Tiger.
	Doge, a bureaucracy created to regulate other bureaucracies, and in the case of USAID, merged with another bureaucracy.
	That's absolutely right.
	right we're gonna take a quick break and we will be right back
	so
	you're listening to the david knight show all.
	Well, I'll just read you some of the headlines of things that have been happening, because things have been happening very quickly in the financial markets.
	Wall Street and Main Street are in lockstep on gold, with the majority predicting fresh all-time highs this week.
	And that was even before they said, as the tariff threats are becoming reality.
	And so that was really what happened.
	That's the way that they reacted to it.
	Trump 2.0 sparks the best January for gold in a decade.
	As Gerald Salenti said, and again, if you want to get Trends Journal, he called it last year, he said, great year for gold, it's going to be another great year for gold.
	And he said, when he was on, he said...
	Trump was great for gold last time.
	He's going to be great for gold this time.
	Already, it's looking like that.
	Again, you can save 10% off if you use the code KNIGHT there at Trends Journal.
	Gold's safe haven allure is a bigger factor than the U.S. tariff threats, they're saying.
	And that's what we've seen.
	We've seen gold going up while the stock markets and crypto went down.
	Now, crypto rebounded.
	When Trump started talking about a sovereign wealth fund, because to some people, I guess, that sounded like a Bitcoin reserve thing.
	Not the same thing.
	But the fact that he's got Lucky Lutnik there, a reminder to everybody that crypto's partnering with Trump.
	But this is what I thought was interesting.
	In London, they're having problems with the commodity exchange because they've lost liquidity in terms of gold.
	And this is one of the things that Tony...
	As always talked about, you know, when we were starting to see one all-time high after the other, which is gradually going up in the fall, he said the big issue has been being able to find product, and that's what we've got to prepare for, he said.
	And so now that is what they're seeing at the London Gold Exchange.
	And he was the one who talked about that first on...
	Thursday last week, we had him on, Tony Arterman of Wise Wolf Gold.
	And, of course, he set up David Knight Gold so that you can, David Knight dot gold, so that you can get to Wise Wolf Gold and let him know that you're coming through us.
	But, you know, Tony was looking at this, and he's really kept an eye on this, like how the supply line is going to be for gold.
	Well, something extraordinary happened in the gold vaults below Manhattan.
	And this is from one source, Infinite Unknown.
	They said, there's an interesting article overnight in the otherwise conservative establishmentarian Financial Times, perhaps best known over the past decade for religiously keeping its readers out of the best-performing asset classes of all time.
	And so what they were talking about was the fact that there is a shortage of bullion, an unprecedented shortage of bullion.
	It stands as a reminder to new readers that there is a ground central of the LBMA, which stands for London Bullion Market Association, as a result of which the weight, quote, the weight to withdraw bullion stored in the Bank of England's vaults has risen from a few days to between four and eight weeks, according to people who are familiar with the process.
	Now, what does that tell you?
	It tells you that there's something happening to demand.
	They said, literally, this is an historic flight of physical gold out of London and into the U.S. And huge moves of gold from London to the U.S. And so the LBMA is out of stock.
	The free-float gold available for immediate over-the-counter trading has declined after the wave of shipments to New York.
	For decades, bullion banks operated on the assumption that gold was always available.
	We've always never had shortages of anything, right?
	Until it happens.
	The just-in-time model, however, has now broken down.
	The system worked because gold isn't consumed.
	It's recycled.
	It's leased.
	It's traded.
	When supply disruptions occurred, banks could borrow metal.
	They could cover their needs.
	They could replace it later.
	But that model is now failing.
	Bullion banks relied on a game of musical chairs, borrowing gold to meet short-term needs.
	But when enough chairs are removed, that is when buyers refuse to lease their holdings, they want to hold on to it.
	Banks are forced to compete for an ever-dwindling supply, and that is what is happening now.
	Central banks have been net buyers of gold, not just in emerging markets, but in the West as well.
	Eastern European countries like Poland and Lithuania have ramped up purchases, further tightening supply.
	The once abundant leasing market is also drying up.
	This guy says London's golden milkshake gets drained.
	There's a billion ounces available in London's warehouses for argument's sake.
	There's a billion ounces there, but there's only 300 million ounces that are actually available.
	The other 700 million ounces are owned by people who have no interest in leasing it because they see what's coming.
	You already have China, right?
	You have big straw sucking the gold and silver out of Europe.
	It comes out of London, and it goes into Switzerland.
	It gets earmarked, and then it goes to China.
	Now you have a new straw coming to the U.S. for whatever reason you want it to be, and for tariffs.
	But I believe that it's just a straight-up repatriation of gold for Tier 1 purposes.
	And the tariffs are a catalyst reason.
	If not a good cover for it all.
	We now have two straws that are draining the LBMA, and the golden milkshake in London is just being drained by China and U.S. So again, if people can't get their hands on it, that creates something of a push for it even more.
	Gold has hit record highs the last couple of days, and again, I think that's very interesting.
	That it moved in that direction as people were not doing that with Bitcoin.
	Ron Paul, I like what he has to say here.
	He says, to make America great again, separate money and state.
	That's the way to...
	Delivering emergency price relief for American families and defeating the cost of living crisis.
	That's the title of one of Trump's executive orders.
	And so if you're going to deliver emergency price relief for American families and defeat the cost of living crisis, he can't control inflation.
	We've seen presidents over and over try to do that.
	Republicans, Democrats, you name it.
	They can't control inflation.
	He points out widespread price increases.
	You know, you can have price increases in a given industry.
	And with tariffs and things like that, you can cause price increases.
	But if it's widespread across the board, he said that's a result of inflation.
	And that's the result of when central banks are lowering the interest rates, when they're increasing the money supply, and that type of thing.
	So, I love the title that he gave to it.
	He says, we need to have separation.
	We want to make America great.
	We separate money and state.
	It even rhymes about that.
	I guess that's what they did.
	We were talking about what Trump was so excited about.
	Oh, let's look at the late 1800s.
	How things were great.
	They had tariffs then.
	No, what made them great?
	They didn't have a central bank.
	Yes, they didn't have an income tax either.
	And government was a tiny, tiny fraction.
	Less than 1% of the size of government today.
	All of those factors, not simply tariffs, was what made it great.
	Because they had separated money from the state.
	That's what the Constitution does.
	But these people don't follow it.
	And so you need to separate money from the state.
	And if the state won't separate itself from the money, then you need to separate yourself from their money, from their fiat currency.
	You can get into gold if you go to davidknight.gold.
	That's one way.
	Separate yourself from the state's money before the state separates you from your money and from your hard work and what you have been able to set aside.
	Josh Restman.
	My daughter was told that she wasn't accepted to a Vanderbilt nursing program because she lacked diversity.
	It's never been this bad.
	I mean, it was bad even when we were in college.
	Karen ran into some of that stuff when she was getting jobs.
	And they flat out told her in some of the places.
	And now they do it again.
	And it just keeps going on and on.
	It's gotten much worse.
	So that is a good thing if he does that.
	But here's the thing.
	He can do some good things.
	He can get rid of DEI. He can get rid of the Department of Education that's been the fountainhead for it in many ways.
	But if he's going to put in this system of crony capitalism, technocracy, kleptocracy, and all the rest of this stuff, getting rid of DEI may just be a cover in order to get support of people.
	Right overture.
	The U.S. government has been promoting and funding DEI hiring practices around the world.
	Absolutely.
	High boost.
	If gold is going up, the value of the dollar is going down.
	That's right.
	Yeah, gold doesn't change in value.
	All this fluctuation that we're seeing, that's the value of the dollar.
	The monetary theory of relativity, if you will, right?
	Gold is not moving.
	It's the dollar that's shifting around everywhere.
	Jason Barker, I wonder what's going to happen to the gold and the silver ETF market.
	That's the paper gold and paper silver.
	That's gold that is supposedly, when you talk about, is there any gold in London?
	Is there any gold in Shanghai, where they're issuing these paper notes?
	People are trading in metals that just aren't there, he says.
	Yeah, you're right.
	The mask is going to come off at some point.
	Kualamos, he says, that's why Trump wants Iceland.
	It's full of gold.
	There we go.
	Well, I don't know what's there, but if anybody would know where to find gold, it'd be Yukon Cornelius.
	I find my gold at David Knight Gold that takes me to Tony Arterman's Wise Wolf Gold, but Yukon is out there right now in Greenland.
	That's right, boys and girls.
	There's a post-election sale on silver and gold.
	Trump euphoria has caused a dip in silver and gold.
	It's time to buy some medals with fiat dollars before they come to their sense is.
	Go to davidknight.gold to get in touch with the wise wolf himself, Tony Arterburn.
	He knows where to look to find silver and gold!
	Yark!
	Fiat! Fiat! Fiat! Fiat! Fiat! Fiat! Fiat! Fiat! Fiat!
	Fiat! Fiat! Fiat! Fiat! Fiat! Fiat! Fiat! Fiat! Fiat! Fiat! Fiat!
	Fiat! Fiat! Fiat! Fiat! Fiat! Fiat! Fiat! Fiat! Fiat! Fiat! Fiat! Fiat! Fiat!
	Fiat! Fiat! Fiat! Fiat! Fiat! Fiat! Fiat! Fiat! Fiat! Fiat! Fiat! Fiat! Fiat!
	Fiat! Fiat! Fiat! Fiat! Fiat! Fiat!
	Thank you.
	Thank you.
	Defending the American Dream.
	You're listening to The David Knight Show.
	We're still working on trying to get Matt on.
	We don't have any video.
	We've got audio with Matt, but we don't have any video.
	So we're still working on that.
	By the way, I didn't say who was going to be joining us.
	Matt Trujala, who talked to him many times about his doctrine of the lesser magistrate.
	Very interested in following through and talking to him.
	about some of what is happening in MAGA, but especially about an FBI whistleblower who has now invoked the lesser magistrate doctrine.
	So we're going to talk about what that is, these particular cases, and so as soon as we get our video there.
	But while we're waiting, I have a few people who had sent us mail contributions that I had not thanked.
	And again, Marty...
	He writes, can you do me a favor?
	And he says, can you tell me that you received the five wolf pack packages I paid for?
	Yes, we did.
	Thank you so much.
	And he sent this for all the different family members, even including Travis's baby.
	So I really do appreciate that.
	Thank you, Marty.
	He's been a real supporter over the last, and last year he did.
	Four matching funds.
	He gave us a certificate at the beginning of the year once a quarter.
	This is also from Marilyn B. Have a fabulous 2025. Thanks for doing all the research and making the complex simple.
	I hope I do that.
	But that is something that we work very hard on.
	And do we have them yet?
	Okay.
	All right.
	Well, I'll tell you what.
	Let me move on while we're still working on that.
	Let me move on to some of the emails that have been sent in the last couple of days.
	We've had one email from an individual talking about what is happening in Canada.
	And I mentioned, I guess they're going to have to expand their military in order to meet Trump's demands at the border.
	But he said, That's
	what I said before.
	You know, we have censorship that is rolling out in an extraordinary way.
	And all of the so-called democracies that are out there, republics, whatever, they're violating the fundamental principles that we have established over centuries, hard-fought principles of free speech.
	And, of course, one of the ones that is very important is the Doctrine of the Lesser Magistrate that we're going to be talking to Matt Trujillo about.
	He has an excellent book on it.
	That is a quick conversation of all of that.
	But while we're talking about free speech, and while we're talking about DEI, we have an interesting exception to all of this.
	You know, we have shut down all foreign aid everywhere except to Israel and to Egypt.
	And the Trump administration is shutting down all DEI everywhere except for anything that's going to hurt somebody's feelings.
	We have shut that all down, calling it hate speech, with one notable exception, and that is anybody that says something that is disturbing to the government of Israel.
	And so we've got Netanyahu coming to Washington, thanking Trump for yet another executive order.
	I mean, this is just a dictatorship, folks.
	Nothing but a stream of executive orders.
	Congress isn't doing anything.
	It's just executive orders.
	This one, they call it fighting anti-Semitism.
	No, what it is doing is it's trying to nullify the First Amendment.
	Speech.
	If you're going to eliminate speech that offends, you're not going to have any speech.
	And there should never be any such thing as hate speech.
	Because now you're trying to project motives.
	It's like saying, well, we're not going to allow false speech.
	Who are you to decide what's true and what's not?
	Hateful or not.
	Trump on Thursday signed a bill to have the Department of Justice prosecute Americans.
	Let's understand that that's what's involved here.
	It's not, as they're saying, simply for foreign students who are here, who are demonstrating against Israel.
	This is about Americans.
	If they say something that is anti-Israeli government, it's not anti-Semitic, it's anti-Israeli government.
	And let me make that clear.
	You had someone talk to an Orthodox rabbi about that.
	What about Netanyahu coming to the United States?
	As a Jewish scholar, what's your take on Netanyahu's speaking in Congress on behalf of Jews?
	I would tell you one thing.
	Stay out of our country.
	Whenever that a eunuch comes in the US, he acts as he presents the Jewish people.
	His goal is to drag us into his war and crimes.
	Bibi is an enemy of the Torah.
	Even in the Holy Land, our brothers, who have no association with the Israeli government, suffer from his laws and actions.
	We say to you again, Israel is not our country.
	Bibi does not speak for us in any which way.
	Now, he's saying Netanyui or whatever.
	We would say Netanyahu.
	But is he anti-Semitic?
	That Orthodox Jewish rabbi?
	And I say that to emphasize the fact that what we're talking about is criticism of a political entity, a foreign government that is not going to be allowed because they have bought so much influence with politicians like Trump.
	Look, the truth does not need to be protected.
	As many people have said, it's like a lion.
	You don't need to protect the truth.
	You let it loose.
	If you are trying to cage the truth, it's because you're lying about something.
	That's the reality of all of this stuff.
	So what we're talking about with this is a bill Michael Tracy points it out.
	He said, again, this order is not limited to foreign nationals or to people who are here on student visas.
	It applies generally to American citizens who allegedly commit anti-Semitism by criticizing what the Israeli government is doing.
	And they don't even have a majority of people who voted for Netanyahu.
	He had a real difficult time putting together a ruling coalition there.
	There is a subsidiary provision that is related to alien students.
	But the main thrust of it, as we've been seeing over and over again, predominantly in Republican governments, states, Shutting down any criticism of a foreign government.
	It's absolutely astounding.
	Well, we've got our guesses ready, so I'm not going to take a break because we've already missed some time with Matt, and I want to get right to it.
	So joining us now is Matt Trujala, who I have talked to several times about his excellent book and about the Doctrine of the Lesser Magistrate.
	Thank you for joining us, Matt.
	Good to be here with you, David.
	And I so apologize for all my technical problems.
	Totally on my end.
	No problem.
	It's live, so we have that kind of a situation happen frequently.
	Not a concern.
	I'm glad to have you on.
	Glad we got through to you.
	And again, your website is defytirants.com.
	Defytyrants.com.
	Okay, good.
	And that's where people can find a copy of the book.
	Of course, you can find it on Amazon, other places like that.
	But it's always good to not deal with Amazon, but to deal directly with the author helps them and helps us to get away from Amazon as well.
	So, again, defytyrants.com.
	That's exactly right.
	And plus, we send you a few extra items for free when you purchase the book at our website.
	Good, good.
	Well, let's talk about this case.
	And I saw this, I'm on your mailing list, and I saw this, it's now been a couple of weeks, I guess, an FBI agent who invokes the doctrine of the lesser magistrate.
	Tell us a little bit about, just for people who have not heard you before, give us a little bit of an overview of what is the doctrine of the lesser magistrate, and then we'll talk about how that applied in the FBI case.
	But what is the doctrine of the lesser magistrate?
	The doctrine is simply that when the higher-ranking civil authority makes unjust or immoral law, policy, or court opinion, the God-given right and duty of the lesser-ranking civil authority is not to obey, and if necessary, to actively resist the superior authority.
	So that's as simple as that.
	That's what the doctrine is.
	It's found in Scripture.
	John Knox wrote the foremost treatise on the doctrine of the lesser magistrate, I believe, ever written in his 1558 appellation to the nobles of Scotland.
	The nobles were the lesser magistrates of his day.
	He cited over 70 passages of scripture in that treatise to show that this doctrine is sound in the word of God.
	And at the same time, we see that it's not only practiced in Christian nations or in the Jewish nation, but we see that it was also practiced in non-Christian nations, showing that it's natural to man.
	Yes, yes.
	And I actually start out my book with a story about a Roman governor who interposed against the emperor, Colossus.
	Yes.
	And again, if you want to have rule of law, you have to have that.
	Because otherwise you're going to have a dictatorship.
	If it's just going to be executive orders about this and that, if you're not going to have the rule of law, you have to repair back to a standard that is going to be there.
	And that's what this is truly about.
	And so there has to be a legal standard and there has to be a moral standard, and that needs to be above men.
	That is the foundation of Western civilization, really.
	Yeah.
	If you give any man or any human institution unlimited power, unlimited authority, They will corrupt themselves.
	It's just, read the history of man.
	It's a no-brainer.
	And we've lived that.
	That's our lived experience right now in America in the 21st century.
	It's not a theory.
	It's not something out of the history books.
	We can see it right now.
	Absolutely.
	Well, tell us a little bit about this FBI whistleblower, then, that invoked the doctrine of the lesser magistrate.
	Well, his name's Garrett O'Boyle.
	And believe it or not, he actually hails from like 20 miles from where I live, where I'm sitting right now.
	And we put up his, he gave a talk in Idaho.
	And so we put that talk up on our website, defytirants.com.
	If people go there, they can see what he has to say.
	Just follow the link and you're right in.
	And when you hear him talk, you're like...
	Thank God there's FBI agents who think like this guy does, because he understood his duty in order to interpose and be a whistleblower.
	So he's in the FBI for four years.
	He was a Waukesha, Wisconsin police officer.
	Prior to that, has a wife, four children.
	And the FBI, of course, starts acting crazy in 21, 22, late 20. Bring this to Congress's purview.
	And there's laws about this, about whistleblowers and how they're to be treated and whatnot.
	And the reason he did it, David, is because he saw that the FBI was using foreign counterterrorism measures on U.S. citizens, including moms and dads.
	Mostly moms who were going to school board meetings because they were bothered about their kids being masked up.
	And of course, then it bled into other areas where their children are being taught despicable things that they knew nothing about prior to the masking.
	They're using those counterterrorism measures for foreigners on American citizens.
	And those are the American citizens they're concerned about, that they want to use these measures on.
	That's what he was whistleblowing about.
	That and other things, but that was a big one.
	Yeah, that's interesting, isn't it, Matt?
	Yeah, let me just interject here.
	I'm sorry to interrupt you, but, you know, that's one of the things I said.
	The golden lining, silver lining or whatever, this cloud of lockdown.
	You know, God works in mysterious ways, doesn't he?
	And so as...
	Kids are locked down, and they have to do online school.
	Parents finally were able to see what was actually happening in their child's classroom.
	I've had this discussion with parents for decades, going back to even before we had our own kids, trying to tell them of my wife's experience in teaching school and things like that.
	They would never believe what was happening in the schools.
	They would always say, well, that's another school, even if it came to their state or it came to their particular school.
	No, no, no.
	The teacher in my class They were finally able to see that, yes, it is happening in my child's classroom.
	And so I think that that was a real blessing from God.
	Sometimes we see that in the storms of life, and it educated so many parents.
	But then when they go to the school board to complain about it, the FBI starts tracking them.
	Yes.
	Yeah.
	We had the same experience as you.
	You know, all of a sudden, all these people in the early 2020s.
	Are telling us, can you believe what these schools are teaching my son, my daughter?
	It's like, we've been saying this for 30 years.
	It's like they just had this revelation.
	And of course, it was good to see parents realizing these things and understanding their duty and no longer just shirking it.
	And of course, they were still a minority, right?
	Maybe made up 10 or 15% of the parents overall.
	But that's a huge number for the American response to evil.
	Oh, yeah.
	So it was encouraging to see so many parents realize for the first time.
	It led to many of them either pulling their kids out and going to private schools or homeschooling.
	Yeah.
	And that's the other thing, you know, all this stuff about socialization.
	You've heard it as well.
	Well, what about socialization?
	It's like, yeah, what about socialization in 2020?
	How did that work out, you know?
	And so it just, by that awful thing that we went through, God just pulled back the curtain and showed anybody who wants to.
	There's no excuse for people to not understand that now.
	They lived it.
	Exactly.
	You know, and they're concerned about, you know, social male-adjusted.
	Your kids will be so...
	I heard that beginning.
	Me and my wife were homeschooling back in the 80s, early 80s.
	And you were an oddity at that time.
	Most more common now.
	Back then, you were weird.
	And, oh, they'll be socially male-adjusted.
	What we found was, you know, homeschooled kids can actually have a rational conversation with adults.
	Yes.
	Meanwhile, the kids going to the government school are pondering whether they should use the kitty litter box to go to the bathroom or not inside the public restroom.
	Who's got the crazy problem here?
	Yeah, I remember.
	And, you know, I lived through that because I went to a government school.
	If somebody is a year older than you, you were afraid of them.
	If they were a year younger than you, you had contempt for them, that type of thing.
	You could see that throughout the, you know, and so I'd say, yeah, can we talk about socialization?
	Maybe they should be socialized.
	By their parents, rather than a kind of Lord of the Flies type of socialization, which is what they were getting in the schools even back then, before they started all of this active agenda of propaganda, sexualization, and all the rest of the stuff that we now see.
	I mean, it really got bad.
	But even when we look at the FBI, looking at people, we had...
	Back in 2013, Ed Snowden showed us that they were spying on Americans, you know, for no reason at all.
	And we knew that, you know, James Clapper was questioned about that just a couple months before Snowden released the stuff.
	But even going beyond that, the whole reason that we had FISA was because from its inception, you had the CIA and the NSA spying on Americans with a search warrant, listening to their phones and so forth.
	So this has all been there.
	They created FISA to stop it.
	And then these people used FISA to give them legal cover to continue to do what they have been doing from their inception right after World War II. And so it's good that this stuff is coming out.
	And it's really good to see FBI agents who become whistleblowers about this.
	But again, it's still an issue, just like people seeing what's happening in the schools.
	How do we motivate people to do something about it?
	But it's very important that you have a whistleblower who does that.
	And I talked to...
	The FBI agent Friend, I think his first name was Steve Friend, talked to him a while back, and he was also somebody who was going to do the right thing.
	He was not going to violate the law.
	He was not going to violate his moral principles.
	And so they kicked him out, like so many people in the military who weren't going to violate their moral principles over the vaccine and other things like that.
	These institutions, it's just an evidence of how corrupt they are, that they eject people who have moral concerns or want to obey the Constitution, isn't it?
	Absolutely.
	Yeah, and he actually, Garrett Boyle, in his interview, if people take the time to watch, and I would encourage them to do so, talks about the fact that he believes the FBI is so corrupt that it needs to be abolished.
	And one of the things he talked about also is how few of them, there's like five or six FBI agents that became whistleblowers while all this evil's going on.
	What does that tell you, David?
	I know.
	It tells you that the history books are right, that most people go along to get along.
	That they only look out for themselves, that they accommodate themselves to the evil.
	They actually aid and abet the evil, either through their silence or their complicity with going along with the evil edicts that are made.
	So men like Garrett Boyle are massively rare and unfortunately.
	And so I would encourage you to take the time to listen to what he has to say and see how he thinks because...
	When you hear him, he's a Christian man, and he's theologically driven.
	It's interesting because he mentions in there that the first time he heard about the Doctrine of the Lesser Magistrate was from a CI, a confidential informant.
	They were spying on pro-lifers.
	The FBI is spying on pro-lifers.
	And so his confidential informant tells him, Oh, you're from Wisconsin?
	Have you ever heard of this pastor, Matt Chuala?
	And he wrote this book on the Doctrine of the Lesser.
	And he goes, that was the first time I ever heard of it and began to study about it.
	And he does a great job to hear a former FBI agent talk about the Doctrine of the Lesser, who's actually demonstrated to the hazarding of his own life and family.
	You have no idea how good that is to the heart, David.
	So encouraging to see.
	Oh, that's great.
	Yeah, and that is what you said is so important.
	How few people push back.
	You know, how few people push back about this in any of these institutions?
	Whether you're talking about the FBI, you're talking about the military, whether you're talking about the hospitals, right?
	They're literally killing people on ventilators.
	And I interviewed a woman who wrote Pandemic Nurse.
	She volunteered to go up to New York from Florida because she said, I didn't see any pandemic in Florida, so she went to New York.
	They let her sit around for several days before they brought her in, and when they gave her the tour, the doctor says, you know, these ventilators...
	More than, you know, 88% of the people, whatever, high 80s, are going to die from this stuff.
	It's like, what is going on with this?
	But they were fine.
	You know, they were fine to do that because they were getting paid.
	And that's what we see in all of these institutions.
	You know, the only way that we're going to have any change is if you're going to have people like Garrett Boyle, who is going to, you know, stand up to this.
	O'Boyle is his name.
	Garrett O'Boyle.
	Garrett, G-A-R-R-E-T, and it's O apostrophe B-O-Y-L-E. That's how you spell his name if people want to look this up.
	Where can they find it?
	Can they find the link to this interview of his?
	Right on our website.
	It's our top story.
	It's defytirants.com.
	You'll see it right there.
	If you're on your phone, you've got to scroll down a little bit.
	But if you're on your laptop, it'll be right there.
	Good, good.
	That is key.
	You mentioned pay.
	And that is a huge thing because I was amazed, like during COVID, for example, and all that was going on there, how many people would comply just to keep their job.
	And of course, you're mentioning something much more dire about COVID where they're actually using protocols that are killing people.
	And yet people would go along with it for the pay.
	They would justify it all in their mind, David, as, well, I got to provide for my family and I need this job.
	And I'm just like, Who am I living amongst?
	Because most of them claim Christ in America still, and go to church, and you think like that?
	What are you listening to from your pulpits?
	That's right.
	You don't think that God's your provider?
	What you're saying is that if I do the right thing, God's not going to provide for me.
	That's the antithesis of what we see throughout the Bible.
	God always provides.
	You may go through some difficult times, but he's always going to provide everything that you need.
	That's the promise.
	And if you're a Christian, you should be believing God for the promise.
	But what that is, is an act of...
	of denial of God, of disbelief that God would be just and that he would honor those who honor him.
	That is a foundational thing about your relationship and your understanding of God.
	I saw a lot of people who, they didn't have a moral It made no
	sense whatsoever.
	Yeah, I have a son who was in the military, had a medical discharge, so he has to go every year and get checked out by a doctor.
	And in fall of 2020, the doctor he meets with is the same guy he always meets with, and he says, can I get a letter from you about not getting the shot?
	Because at that time they were talking about it, and it hadn't come out yet.
	And the doctor laughed at him and said, they're never going to make anybody get the shot.
	Well, the next year that he came...
	For the same appointment in September of 2021, the doctor is there, same one, and my son says, do you remember our conversation last year?
	And he goes, yes, I do.
	And he goes, I had to take my first shot in March this year.
	And I've had nothing but...
	Problems within my body since then with severe back pain and other things, he said.
	So much so, and he's about 58 years old, 60 years old, right in there.
	So much so that I'm thinking about quitting my job because of how it impacted my health.
	He said, but I just decided a week ago, I really need my job.
	And so I'm going to get the second shot because it's mandatory to get the second shot.
	You know, he's in the Veterans Administration.
	And think of that, David.
	I just can't contemplate that in my mind.
	Where is the trust in the Lord, like you're talking about?
	And, you know, you look at, but this, again, has always been a problem.
	So few people willing to stand.
	I mean, you know, Abednego and the other two weren't the only three young Hebrew men in Babylon at that time, you know?
	There were tens of thousands of them, and three stood.
	What in the world?
	So, yeah, as Christ people, especially when we name the name of Christ, we should stand true to him, to truth.
	You know, interposing away on behalf of our neighbor.
	It comes back to these same fundamental things that Jesus hammered all the time.
	You know, fear.
	Who do you fear?
	What do you fear?
	Do you fear a virus or a pandemic or disease, or do you fear God?
	And who do you trust, and what do you love?
	Do you love money?
	More than your fellow man?
	You know, are you going to go through these procedures at the hospitals and do this to other people or even do it to yourself because of the love of money?
	That is the key thing, you know?
	And it's just these fundamental things that everything else is built upon, and it's really taken us down this path.
	I've talked to people, police officers who've been injured and can't work anymore.
	I've talked to a surgeon who can't do it anymore because his hand shakes all the time.
	It's just horrific, and yet there's been no accountability for any of it.
	That's the other thing, too, right?
	As Christians...
	We have to also, if we've been injured or we've had loved ones who have been injured or killed, I have a lot of listeners who have lost family members, spouses, and other things like that, we have to understand that that justice is with God.
	And leave that with Him and actually move on and not let that eat at us.
	We have to forgive that.
	And move on.
	But we don't see any justice at all coming from the government.
	The government's job is not to forgive this kind of stuff, but to have an accounting for it.
	And yet, we see exactly the opposite.
	The people who have been rewarded for this, the people who get to run again for president, the people who are talking about, well, next time, let's make sure that we get the money from the mRNA to go into a sovereign wealth fund.
	What Lutnik is saying yesterday.
	All we're looking at is the money.
	Next time, how do we make more money out of this type of thing?
	And there's no accountability for these people.
	FACI is free.
	All these people are free.
	And new schemes, too.
	We're going to get a vaccine for cancer.
	For mRNA.
	Designed by AI. Exactly.
	Within 48 hours.
	I can see them lining up for that one.
	And you're just like, you have to speak out when you see that kind of thing so people can understand what's right and what's true.
	And unfortunately, you know, I am a churchman.
	I pastor a church here, and we have, you know, about 250 people in the congregation.
	And what I found is most of my fellow churchmen are absolutely silent on anything dealing with injustice, whatever area it may be in, including what all went on with COVID.
	So much so that, you know, like, there's a guy here named Scott Shera, who has a case that hasn't been crushed yet, because most of them have been.
	That's moving forward because they killed his daughter.
	I know.
	I've interviewed Scott many times, his daughter Grace.
	My Amazing Grace, I think, is my Amazing Grace.
	I've talked to him many times, and that's a landmark case.
	That could make a big difference for a lot of people because one person stands up.
	You get an FBI whistleblower who stands up or somebody like Scott who stands up and says, well, I'm going to make sure this doesn't happen to somebody else.
	And that is a landmark case because it's not simply about malpractice.
	It's about the malicious acts of people who knew what they were doing.
	And that's what we've seen over and over again.
	Yes, absolutely.
	Yeah, and so he'll tell you no churchmen.
	We want him talking about what happened with his daughter.
	Anyway, that's how much, how pietistic American Christianity has become.
	He attends our church from time to time.
	He's two hours away.
	He was just there last Sunday.
	Another man who took his case, because they wouldn't let him use ivermectin, he was dying in the hospital, was there for months.
	His family intervened for him with even public protests.
	Yeah, he's come to Christ since then.
	He attends our congregation now.
	But so rare are the churchmen who speak out that people, if they just spoke out on these things, would be drawn to hear what they have to say and would then hopefully come to know Christ as their Savior.
	That's right.
	And these are important matters.
	I've got to grab my charging cord because my thing's about to die on you.
	Sure, absolutely.
	Well, while you do that, let me read this comment from Holistic Nurse, one who says, Fear is mentioned in the Bible over 300 times, and most Christians in name aren't reading His Word.
	That's right.
	How many times do you hear in the Bible?
	Fear not, fear not, fear not.
	And you don't really understand who God is if you're afraid.
	You really don't.
	And if you step out in faith and take these challenges, then what that does is that helps you to see God.
	You know, when we go through these dark times and we step out in faith to say, well, this is really scary, but I'm going to follow God.
	I'm going to follow these moral principles.
	principles, what you find is that God has your back.
	I've seen that over and over again.
	I love the illustration out of John Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress, where there's a couple of lions on the path that he's got to go through.
	And he finally gets the courage to get up there close to them, and he realizes that they're on chains, and they can't get all the way to him.
	But we understand that even if we get ripped apart by lions, as many of the early Christians dead, we understand that that is not the end of things.
	And so...
	It's that understanding of what our relationship is with God and what this life is.
	It's just a small little blip before eternity.
	Those are the things that should keep us from being afraid.
	Are you back, Matt?
	Okay, good.
	I'm here, yes.
	Yeah, and I want to—the tender care of God for his people is seen again and again.
	We saw it during COVID. I mean, we had one family that had eight kids.
	The guy worked for a company for 20 years.
	Wasn't going to go along with the fiction.
	Lost his job.
	But God used it all for good.
	And we saw that with several other people in the congregation.
	Lost their jobs because they wouldn't go along with the fiction.
	And some of them might have had a harder time for a short time, as you mentioned.
	But in the end, they could see the goodness of God and how that all played out because of their simply being...
	Faithful to Him, trusting in Him.
	I remember when I was a young churchman, David, I left the denomination.
	I was a part of it.
	It was a huge deal because of the money, because of the job security, because of all that stuff.
	You're like, oh, this is a big deal.
	And then you see God's care for you.
	And you just see it again and again and again throughout life.
	And He is so faithful.
	And caring for his people.
	That's right.
	And we just need to do right by him.
	Yeah, when we sold our video business, because we wanted to get out of the video business after we became Christians, and I thought, all right, good.
	And we've put that aside.
	And then the money that we got from it, the thing was a scam.
	The guy was a con artist that had put the whole deal together, and we lost everything.
	I thought, "Wait a minute.
	I thought I was doing the right thing." I've seen it time and time again in my life.
	You read about the saints of old, you know.
	They've written about God's care for them.
	And there's a whole new group of people who name his name who, because of the whole COVID thing, have been able to experience that also and see the tender care of the Lord for his people.
	It's an awesome thing.
	It is.
	And there were so many silver linings throughout all of COVID. And amongst whatever evil is coming our way ahead, because I'll tell you, most people think, you know, we're getting out of this all with...
	Going to the voting box and drinking a latte afterwards.
	We're cool.
	Living in a fantasy land, if you're theologically driven, you understand innocent blood is no small matter.
	That's right.
	And, yeah, there's judgment upon this nation.
	It's going to come.
	And, you know, we saw a delay when we read the scriptures and King Josiah being there.
	But two generations later, God brought his judgment.
	You have to understand these things that people need to understand.
	The most important thing we can do at this time is calm and repentance and faith in Christ.
	I agree.
	Your audio is breaking up a little bit.
	I'm not sure what's happening with that, but while you take a look at that, I've got a comment here from DG8. He says, David's spot on.
	I trusted that God would provide a way.
	Doing the right thing must be a priority in our life.
	Stand up for your freedom.
	I know cops who did wrong in 2020 and said, I'm just doing my job.
	Yeah, that's the sad thing that we have seen over and over again.
	And that's the excuse that you can always say, that you don't have any responsibility.
	Well, you're going to stand before God one day.
	You're not going to stand before your supervisor.
	You're not going to stand before the President of the United States.
	But you're going to answer to God for what you did.
	And that's the key thing that we need to all understand, is that we're going to stand before God, and we need to have to give an answer for what we did.
	Absolutely.
	Amen.
	Let's talk a little bit about another subject that you had out, and that is what is happening with, and I'm still getting a little bit of audio issues there, but talk a little bit about TPUSA.
	And what is Talking Points USA?
	That's Charlie Kirk's group.
	And what is going on there?
	Because I've talked about what's going on with Charlie in the past, and he's still doing the same thing, but he's talking a lot.
	About God.
	He's doing a lot of God talk, and yet he's doing some things that are very contrary to that, that I find to be very concerning.
	I think you do as well.
	I do, absolutely.
	Yeah, and I can hear that noise too, and I don't know what it is, David.
	I'm sorry.
	That's okay.
	We're good now.
	Yeah.
	Okay.
	Yeah, what happened here in Wisconsin, for example, was, you know, back in spring of 22, pardon me, spring of 23, less than two years ago, We had a big Supreme Court race in TP Faith, TP USA, TP Action.
	They're all the same thing.
	Came in and they started running around all over our state a man named Scott Presler.
	Scott Presler is an open, unrepentant sodomite.
	He's one of those guys you don't even have to wonder.
	I wonder if he's a homosexual.
	Because of how he talks.
	Yeah, he makes it clear.
	And he was, you know, led Gays for Trump.
	And so they're taking him, the Republican Party's allowing this to go on and participating in it with TPUSA and Charlie Kirk, putting an open sodomite on stages across our state.
	Well, I take great umbrage with that.
	As a churchman, I preached a sermon called...
	Trojan horse in the Republican Party, exposing it, which I had many Republicans try to dissuade me from preaching that sermon, both those sitting on the legislature, those retired from the legislature, politicos and whatnot.
	But no, our faithfulness needs to be to Christ.
	And we had been helping this guy get elected, and now all of a sudden you have this open homosexual there.
	No, we're not going to be silent about that.
	So then they didn't learn from that.
	Instead, what they did is, for Trump running this last year, for our state, they gave Scott Presler $5 million.
	Who gave him $5 million?
	Oh, that would be Charlie Kirk, TPUSA. Wow.
	And the group there.
	In order to run him all over our state to help get votes.
	And so while the latest thing is...
	It isn't just Charlie Kirk.
	There's other, pardon me, it isn't just Scott Pressler.
	There's other homosexuals, too.
	Yeah, I remember there was something a couple of years ago that he was touring, and he was, at that time, he wasn't talking about Christ.
	He was talking about culture war.
	And I remember, and I've played it several times with several people who challenged him because he had a guy, that was a black guy that was with him, and they were both on stage, and they were saying, how does this help the culture war to have this homosexual with you there, right?
	And they got very angry and said, well, we got a big tent and all the rest of this kind of stuff, and now he's doing the same thing with Scott Pressler.
	We've seen this at Mar-a-Lago.
	You know, Mar-a-Lago, they're welcome.
	They give awards to Melania.
	The LGBT loves Mar-a-Lago.
	Melania, they've trumpeted the fact that they've got Rick Grinnell, who's openly homosexual now, Scott Besant, who is the Treasury Secretary.
	And it's not just that, you know, well, okay, this guy is, you know, this is his personal life, and we're not going to get involved.
	No, they're putting that out there as a virtue, as why this person is being chosen.
	Same as the left does.
	Right.
	Yeah.
	And so on one hand, while Trump's talking about how there's only two genders, by the way, I already knew that before you mentioned it.
	I know.
	I know, yeah.
	On the other hand, he's appointing to his cabinet more homosexuals than any other president prior to him.
	That's the duplicity.
	And Charlie Kirk is involved in the same duplicity during Christmas, you know, just last month, a month and a half ago.
	December 21st, TPUSA, TP Action, TP Faith did a big thing, I believe it was out in the Phoenix area, Arizona area, thousands of people.
	Who did they put up there?
	And they're all applauding him and all shouting his name over and over again.
	Scott Presler, the homosexual, the sodomite.
	So yeah, you look at these things, and Charlie likes to push these videos where he speaks against Homosexual marriage or even homosex.
	But then on the other hand, here he is putting someone who practices that evil in positions of prominence, putting him on a pedestal.
	That should bother people, and that should be called to account.
	Yes.
	Oh, absolutely.
	You know, again, it says one thing when it's being done by a purely political organization.
	You know, you say, well, these people are working against the values of Christ, and they're working against the family and all the rest of this stuff.
	But when it is somebody who's got this organization that says, we're TP Faith, you know, and he wants to talk about, you know, put himself out there as some kind of an evangelist or apologist for the Christian.
	I do.
	And the vitriol you get from so many Christians is stunning, including churchmen who are hooked up with TPUSA. I'm always like, so I would like you guys to expose where all your money comes from, because go try to find out where all their money's coming from.
	Good luck.
	You know, because usually when you can ascertain where someone's getting their funding from, you can learn pretty much everything you need to know.
	Yes.
	And where do they get their money from?
	Because they have an unlimited supply.
	It is amazing.
	Yeah.
	Five million dollars just for him to go around.
	And we see this again with Awaken America.
	I've shown many times, you know, Michael Flynn there at the Department of Defense back in 2014, their second Pride Month, and he's pushing Chris Beck, the guy that was pushed, the Navy SEAL who was pushed into becoming a tranny and now has pushed back against that and said, you know, they did this to me as an adult.
	Imagine what they're doing to kids that are out there.
	But, you know, you've got all these people who have now reinvented themselves, and, you know, the Reawakened Tour is just one of those things.
	He's going around, he's actually, you know, They go to church buildings, and they've got all these people there in this quasi-religious political ceremony, and he's got them reciting after him a prayer from Elizabeth Clare Prophet,
	who is this New Age guru, and he's got all these people in a building there, it's a church building, like it's some kind of a Christian event, reciting this prayer to ascended masters.
	It's insane what's going on.
	It is.
	And that's the thing that bothers me most about it all, David, is they're using Christ and Christianity to fuel it, to pump it, to hoodwink those who name his name.
	That's it, hoodwink.
	Yeah.
	And then there's the churchmen sitting by silent when, you know, we look at the book of Acts with the elders of Ephesus and, you know, Paul making clear to them, you have a duty.
	To guard the flock.
	You have a duty to speak truth and come against evil.
	And we don't see that amongst the churchmen.
	Instead, what I've seen with many churchmen, even some I had respect for, they get hooked onto this whole Charlie Cook wagon train.
	They get paid massively good amounts of money.
	You can't help but think to yourself, is it the money?
	Yeah.
	I've seen this with media.
	People, they're really ultimately hooking themselves to Trump.
	That's what this is really about.
	That's what Charlie Kirk has done in a big way.
	And so you've got a lot of people who are afraid to criticize Trump because they know a lot of people are going to walk out of their church.
	You've got people who do the news and they're afraid to say anything critical about Trump because they know they'll turn you off.
	And they'll turn you off and they'll flip you off.
	I've experienced that personally, you know?
	So, people don't want to look at it in an objective way.
	It's become really a personality cult.
	And I think that's what's really dangerous about it.
	As you pointed out before, you knew there were two genders before Trump decreed it with an executive order.
	And that's the key.
	So many people out there are glorifying Trump for this.
	And I said, why didn't we do this from the grassroots?
	I mean, I never bowed to any of this stuff.
	I was never ashamed to say to anybody, no, I haven't had any experiences with that, but I wouldn't be ashamed to say that to anybody.
	I'm not going to pretend that you're a different sex than you are.
	I wasn't going to do that.
	That's a real Orwellian tactic, but it's a tactic to get you to submit to them.
	But, you know, even going to the pro-life issue, Matt, So many people were singing Trump's praises as he was trashing the pro-life movement, blaming it For midterm election losses that I thought were predominantly the big high-profile people that he got behind were people like Dr. Oz.
	And it was the people that he put forward and he pushed that were losing, and yet he blamed it on the pro-lifers and said, you know, well, I did all this stuff for them, and then they abandoned me.
	And I've said for the longest time, people need to give God the glory for overturning Roe v. Wade.
	People prayed about that for decades, and then when it happened, they give the glory to Trump.
	And he doesn't even want it.
	He doesn't even want it.
	Right.
	Yeah, and the GOP has been pumping that fiction everywhere across the country, including here in our state, Wisconsin, that, you know, we have to stay away from the abortion issue.
	It's a losing issue.
	15 weeks, you know, where 95% of the abortions have already been committed.
	laws against it 15 weeks and it's such a lie and you know you and i know david we've watched this for decades the gop and the conservatives 99 of them can't even defend their position why they're against the slaughter of the pre-born yeah
	they've so politicized the issue in their minds that it's an incremental regulationist endeavor that they can't bring themselves to realize the fact that no you can't even you don't you cower every time it's brought up rather than you know taking them to task and using it as an opportunity to speak truth and to defend your pre-born neighbor that's right um it's a it's about and this garrett boyle when people listen to his interview too
	it's funny because he brings up how he was by the FBI told to look into That's right.
	Pro-life matters.
	And he said it was interesting because I'm pretty much an abolitionist, he said, when it comes to abortion, which was interesting to hear because that's not a term many within the civil realm would want to ascribe to themselves at all, especially following the wisdom of the GOP and what they're trying to peddle at this time for people to accept.
	Oh, I agree.
	But it is like slavery because we're talking about personhood.
	I mentioned this yesterday, I think it was, or Friday.
	There was a mountain in New Zealand that the pagans there basically gave personhood to this mountain.
	And I said, isn't that interesting?
	They have very, very liberal abortion laws that basically don't punish people for anything in New Zealand.
	So babies don't have personhood.
	But a mountain does.
	And it's not the first time they've given nature a personhood.
	They've done it for a river.
	They've done it for a park or whatever.
	Now they've done it for a mountain.
	And so we just don't understand what it means to be in the image of God.
	And I think that's a key thing that we need to recover with that, and that is the personhood.
	And, you know, we talk about the lost opportunities.
	I said all through the campaign.
	I said, you know, you could...
	But do it in a positive way.
	There's a cartoon out there, I don't know if you've seen it or not, it was an animated film where this guy who was an ultrasound technician witnessed an abortion.
	He was called and he didn't know it was going to be an abortion.
	And so he talks about what he saw, the baby being ripped apart, and they depict it in a cartoon fashion.
	And you could go with something like that, but you could also...
	Take the positive and show how...
	4D ultrasound.
	You could show how the babies are human beings.
	But they don't do any of that stuff.
	They didn't use the opportunity to show any of that stuff.
	You could even go for the shock treatment and it could show what the babies look like when they're ripped to pieces and removed from the mother and they assemble them to make sure they got all the pieces out.
	That would be allowed and has been done by some candidates who ran for office.
	They can't stop that.
	But none of the Republicans would actually show what the murder process is.
	They wouldn't show the results of it.
	They wouldn't even go positive and show what life is.
	They just ran from the issue.
	And it was amazing to see.
	Rather than coming out swinging, they cower.
	That's right.
	And that is a good means, too.
	The one you mentioned about someone running for office at the federal level, they can show the pre-born, both those developing in the womb and those who've been murdered by the abortionists.
	Something we did back in 2002. We had a number of people in our group run for federal office because then you can't be censored.
	And they were able to show actual footage of what the pre-born looked like after they'd been in the hands of the abortionist, which, of course, there are no pretty pictures of murder.
	And so people would see it for the awful thing that it is.
	And it'd have a huge impact on them, because most people have been taught abortion is just the removal of some tissue and cells, and it's very, you know, discreet and clinical.
	When they see the actual child butchered, it has a visceral impact upon their minds and their thinking.
	So I think it's very good to show those photographs.
	I'm always reminded, too, of the story out of Judges, where The guy's concubine is, you know, mistreated by a pack of sodomites all night long and she ends up dying.
	And so he ends up cutting her body into pieces and sends them out to the 12 tribes of Israel.
	So they didn't just see pictures of the atrocity.
	They had the actual body part sitting in front of them.
	And what was the response of the men of Israel?
	400,000 of them rallied with arms and said, who's responsible for this?
	That's the godly response.
	What you get from most Christians today, if you show the photographs of the murdered pre-born, is, oh, I'm offended.
	Yes.
	I'm offended.
	How dare you?
	How dare you show that to me?
	It shows you how off course we are.
	Yeah, we know about the spirit of life that is in human beings, even in animals.
	That's why, you know, you don't...
	It doesn't upset you necessarily to see a plant that is broken and laying on the ground, but you see an animal even that has been butchered.
	That has a visceral effect on people and for justifiable reason.
	And yet we've turned the other direction.
	We looked away from this for so long and we told people, don't show us what this is.
	And that's the key thing.
	People aren't doing anything.
	Now, you're in Minnesota, is that right?
	No, Wisconsin.
	Oh, okay.
	I was going to say, you're right in the middle.
	I was thinking for some reason that you're in Minnesota, and it's like, you're in Tim Waltz land.
	That's a really tough place, but at least you're not there.
	That's good.
	That's good.
	You're in Wisconsin.
	So, what is the situation there in terms of, after Roe v.
	Wade has been overturned with Dobbs, what's the situation there with abortion in your state of Wisconsin?
	You know, abortion, there were no murders here for 14 months because we had a law from 1848, I believe it was, criminalizing any abortion.
	There was nothing at all.
	All the death camps closed down.
	And then Planned Parenthood decided to, you know, push the envelope.
	And we're just going to...
	Act like the law doesn't exist.
	We're going to open up and we're going to start murdering babies.
	Well, of course, we were out there the first day and the police made it clear that we're going to jail, not them.
	And they said, they even had the police officers tell us there was a meeting with all of us this morning that we're not upholding 940-04.
	That's our state statute from all the way back in the 1940s.
	We're not upholding that law.
	So if any of those pro-lifers You know, try to intervene to protect the pre-born in a real tangible sense of locking the door or something.
	They go to jail and you protect the abortionist.
	Think of that, David.
	Oh, yeah.
	And we didn't have one magistrate anywhere in our state who could do something, actually do something.
	We had one in Madison area.
	Because the death camps are here in Milwaukee and in Madison.
	We had a county official call upon the police chief and the sheriff to arrest the abortionists under 940-04 because he has no power or authority to make that happen.
	But at least he wrote to them and admonished them to do their duty and uphold the laws of Wisconsin.
	So since then, the other death camps have opened up.
	Once they saw Planned Parenthood was getting away with it.
	And right now there's a case before our Supreme Court which still hasn't been decided.
	It's been going on for well over a year now.
	In order to gut our statute 940-04 through the judiciary, of course, and make it so there is no law against abortion even on the books.
	That's where we're at right now.
	Last year, a year ago, at this very time, I testified at a public hearing brought by the Republicans.
	They wanted abortion to be outlawed from 15, or pardon me, 14 weeks forward from there.
	In other words, 95% of the murders have already taken place.
	And there were such scoundrels about it, David, that they didn't just do it themselves, because they could have did it in the Assembly and the Senate, because they have the majority.
	as a bill that would then pass so that the people could vote on it in the state.
	Kind of like, let's wash our hands of this and throw the pre-born to the mob, you know, and have mob rule.
	Because in a republic, law matters, and including God's law.
	It's been that way in Western civilization for nearly 2,000 years.
	And what they're doing is dismantling A Republican form of government and creating mob rule, a raw democracy, where the mob decides you get to live, you, you're going to die.
	It's wicked.
	And they are cowards.
	I mean, at the federal level, typically they kick everything over to the bureaucracy.
	They don't want to do their job.
	So at the state level, they kick it over to the mob for a referendum.
	That's horrible.
	And, of course, if they don't like the law, they just ignore the law.
	We've got less than a minute.
	Matt, tell us again what you've got there in terms of people go to get...
	The book, The Lesser Magistrate, you've got a special thing for them if they go to defytyrants.com.
	And, of course, that FBI whistleblower that we talked about earlier, you've got that video there.
	Anything else you want to tell us about?
	Oh, no, that was pretty good.
	If you do get the book at defytyrants.com, we throw in a CD. I know that's archaic.
	But I'm old school and I have to have something physical.
	I like that.
	We do send a CD of a sermon I gave to the Montana legislature.
	We just throw that in there for free.
	I gave that sermon back in 2015. We're the only state that still does election sermons.
	They had me come in and speak on the doctrine of the lesser magistrate.
	It's a powerful sermon.
	It's a blessing to you.
	It's a good one to give to your churchmen.
	It's a good one to give to your magistrates in your area.
	We also will give you some stickers and some literature.
	That's great.
	And your book does change minds.
	It absolutely does.
	And so thank you so much for what you've done.
	It's an excellent book, folks.
	It's a fast read.
	It is packed with information.
	It's not going to overwhelm you.
	It's not like War and Peace or anything.
	It's a small book, and it's all there, and he lays it out in a very concise, rapid way.
	Thank you so much, Matt, for what you do.
	And again, defytyrants.com is where you can find the book on The Lesser Magistrate, an important voice.
	Vital understanding of what that's about.
	Thank you so much, Matt.
	Appreciate it.
	Have a good day.
	Thank you.
	God bless you, David.
	Thank you.
	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 contrived 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.
