	Thank you.
	Thank you.
	Thank you.
	We've got Dan Bongino and his deputy director.
	Is it going to be the end of these hated agencies, the ATF, the IRS, for example?
	Is the IRS, is the income tax going to end?
	We're going to take a look at the PR versus reality and also the other question nobody's asking.
	What comes next?
	Are they going to keep the government at a smaller level?
	Are they going to change the lines of authority?
	The goals of the government?
	What it spends?
	And so we'll take a look at that.
	And also we have, as part of Doge, we've got Elon Musk sending...
	It seems like he bases all of his policy on movies.
	And now he's doing office space.
	We're going to begin with that.
	We're also going to take a look at Apple telling the UK censors to essentially take a hike.
	And they were not even supposed to talk about this secret order.
	And of course...
	Deja Vu is back on the menu here, and we have some interesting updates with that.
	that.
	We'll be right back.
	Well, we have the new FBI Director, Cash Patel, is going to be taking over the ATF-2 is going to be taking over the ATF-2 And so ZeroHage says, will he burn it to the ground?
	And in their article, they actually reference, of course, the Waco situation, where ATF began, just to briefly recap, they called all the media to follow them out.
	The code word for going in was called Showtime.
	That's why we have video of all of that stuff that transpired.
	They go to an apocalyptic cult out in a compound who is expecting the government to attack them at the end of time and all the rest of this stuff.
	But, of course, David Koresh, who they were coming after, had several situations where warrants had been served on him peacefully.
	Sheriff served warrants, didn't have a problem with that.
	Had been in court many times, had actually been found guilty of the things that were later brought in.
	And after they got tired of waiting on April the 19th, the anniversary of the Warsaw Ghetto, where they burned everything down on April the 19th.
	So, they did the same thing there, killing men, women, and children.
	And of course, in the interim there, as the PR was out, they were talking about how the ATF was there because of allegations of child marriage and things like that.
	It's an awful religious cult.
	And I was absolutely disgusted to see the Christians throwing the Branch Davidians under the bus instead of the ATF. Since when do you justify using the ATF? To investigate reports of child welfare.
	That's not their authority, of course.
	And so the whole thing was disgusting.
	And when you put that back-to-back with what happened at the tail end of the Bush administration, the Randy Weaver situation, it was all the same people.
	It was the bureaucracy that was there.
	And so now the question is, will they get rid of this thing?
	Or will they keep it going?
	Now, the ATF has a very interesting history that we're going to talk about here, but this started to come together on Saturday evening.
	The extraordinary move has some wondering if Trump might move to dissolve the ATF altogether.
	Well, his very existence is an affront to the Second Amendment.
	That whole shall not infringe stuff, well, if you took that seriously, you would never have an ATF. But, of course, Trump doesn't take that seriously.
	He thinks that he can do gun control by executive order.
	Gun Owners of America has lauded Patel as being fiercely pro-gun.
	And Gun Owners of America is fiercely pro-gun.
	They don't make any carve-outs like the NRA does.
	NRA didn't care about the bump stock thing.
	They didn't want to fight with Trump.
	Gun Owners of America took exception to it and opposed it because they understood It's even worse than gun control by Congress or courts in defiance of the Second Amendment.
	It's even worse when one person can do it arbitrarily.
	During his confirmation hearings, Patel skirted direct questions about whether civilians should be allowed to own machine guns or whether background checks are constitutional.
	He said, Rules in regard to the Second Amendment is what is protected by the Second Amendment.
	Is that right?
	Are our rights subject to the approval of the Supreme Court?
	How pathetic.
	You believe that background checks for firearm purchases are constitutional?
	I don't know the in-depths of it, but I think that's what the Supreme Court has said, Senator.
	So the word would be Y-E-S. Yes.
	Can you say yes are background checks constitutional?
	I can say whatever the Constitution and the Supreme Court ruled is the rule of the land.
	And we're not the law of the land at the moment.
	I'm not an expert on state-by-state background checks.
	Do you believe civilian ownership of machine guns is protected by the Second Amendment?
	Yes.
	Whatever the courts rule in regards to the Second Amendment is what is protected by the Second Amendment.
	I raise these questions because of...
	An association that can observe between Mr. Patel and gun owners of America, a group staunchly opposed to firearm regulation.
	Mr. Patel, let me remind you that as FBI director, you would oversee critical responsibilities related to firearm regulation, including administering the National Instant Criminal Background Check System.
	Yes, it's constitutional.
	It's in place for a reason.
	Gun control.
	And it's not constitutional.
	...machine guns to prevent them from falling into the wrong hands.
	Anybody that's not the government.
	Given your answers, I'm concerned about your ability to do the job when it's not in alignment with groups like Gun Owners of America.
	Going to demonize Gun Owners of America.
	Well, sir, it says it's in place, so it's got to be constitutional.
	It is.
	Therefore, it am.
	I think, therefore I am.
	I think it's constitutional, therefore it is constitutional.
	That's the approach of the court system.
	But, of course, we can all read, too.
	We have Supreme Court interpretations.
	Guess what?
	It's written in English.
	I don't need your interpretation.
	It's plain English, as a matter of fact, and I can read the history behind it.
	Yeah, we're going to outlaw machine guns.
	That's how you get into the bump stocks.
	And then once you get into the bump stocks, then you get into every other thing.
	It is death by a thousand infringements or tiny cuts.
	You know, that is the reason why, and I've said this before, it's the reason why the founders put that in there.
	You know, for the First Amendment, they said Congress shall make no law.
	Bridging these freedoms.
	Because the Congress can just come in and arbitrarily do what they've done in Europe and in the UK and all the rest of this stuff.
	Just in a fell swoop.
	But you're not going to come in and take everybody's guns without creating a war.
	A civil war.
	And so you do it by gradual infringement, as Fauci said when he...
	He was going to run his vaccine war on us, Operation Warp Speed under Trump and under Biden.
	He said, well, how do you get everybody to do this?
	Well, you do it from the inside, you do it with chaos, and you do it iteratively.
	You do it iteratively.
	You infringe gradually on people.
	It's a psychological warfare.
	You know, interestingly enough, the founders didn't know anything about psychology.
	That was something that was created afterwards.
	It's just human nature.
	They understood what human nature is, and they understood the nature of tyranny.
	Tyranny will be incremental with infringements, and that's how you get there.
	There's nothing special about a machine gun, especially if everybody's got one.
	So, if you're the only one with a pea shooter, that's the other.
	But anyway, last week, Attorney General Pam Bondi fired the ATF's top lawyer, Pamela Hicks.
	These people are targeting gun owners, she said.
	Not going to happen under this administration.
	Well, good.
	There's some good stuff in the order.
	But let's just understand that a lot of this stuff, before we start drinking the Kool-Aid of the Trump administration, let me just say this.
	There's a lot of things that have happened very quickly.
	And a lot of people are very upset.
	Yeah, tune in to David to see if he's changed on Trump.
	He's never going to change.
	You're right, I'm never going to change.
	I've been watching Trump and what he's done for decades.
	And two weeks isn't going to change my mind on this guy.
	Not even four years.
	He goes for four years and he doesn't pull, he doesn't get us into war, he doesn't put on a pandemic or something else of that magnitude.
	Fine.
	Then we can talk about it.
	I don't think we make, it's always not a good idea.
	To make statues to people before they're dead.
	You never know what they're going to do.
	And all we can do, you know, past performance is no indicator of the future, except when we talk about people.
	And unless I see some dramatic change in his character, and I don't.
	I've said this all along.
	You're foolish if you trust politicians.
	That's how they rule people.
	Never trust politicians.
	Always be skeptical.
	Always be cynical about anything that they do.
	If it looks like it's going to be good, applaud the policy, but not the person.
	Because you never know if they're going to follow through on it.
	So I agree with, okay, let's cut government.
	Let's cut these bureaucracies.
	And if we can't get rid of them altogether, let's reduce them in size.
	All of that I applaud.
	However, the question is, what comes next?
	Elon Musk has made it very clear he wants to minimize government, but he also wants to maximize government.
	And so when you look at all of these policies, understand, would you rather have the IRS and the ATF auditing your life, or would you rather have AI auditing your life?
	And who's going to sell the AI? Both Musk and Sam Altman have established themselves as the suppliers to government.
	That's what they want to do.
	They know that this stuff is extremely expensive.
	And of course, Wall Street is starting to figure out how they've padded the bill on this stuff.
	That was part of the deep seek thing from China.
	Wait a minute.
	They're going to do this.
	The next step is going to be half a trillion dollars.
	And they just did it for six or something.
	Was it 500 million or 500 million?
	Maybe it's 500 million.
	I don't know.
	Anyway, maybe it's 500 million.
	Nevertheless, that was a big shock to show Wall Street that they were overpaying.
	Well, government doesn't care if they're overpaying.
	Elon Musk became the richest man in history, not just in the world now, but in history, by selling stuff to the government.
	Both he and Sam Altman want to sell AI to the government because money is no object.
	And they would love to fire every single person in government and replace them with AI. We're just a couple of technocrats running it.
	I mean, that's where this is headed.
	So you should be skeptical about this.
	You should be skeptical about whether or not they actually want to get rid of these people.
	You should be skeptical about whether or not the judiciary is going to allow that.
	Now, we've just had a court ruling where we had a judge say, all right, we'll let you fire the USAID people.
	But that's one judge's opinion.
	And all the judges have got opinions.
	And so it's going to kind of depend on which judge you go to at any given moment, unless they're going to fight judicial supremacy.
	Now, if they do, that's a really good thing, and I hope they do.
	If they don't, all of this stuff is, and I saw this in the first administration, well, I said I was going to do something about the border, but they just won't let me build a wall.
	I said I was going to do deportations, but they just won't let me overturn Obama's executive order called DACA, and on and on.
	So they can come out and talk a big talk, even as an incumbent, and then say, well, yeah, that's what I wanted to do.
	I'm on your side, but the Supreme Court won't let me.
	So are they going to have that fight?
	It remains to be seen.
	But it also remains to be seen what they want to establish in place of the government that we have now, what kind of governance.
	Do they want to put in?
	Be cynical.
	Be skeptical of politicians.
	Always.
	But especially of politicians who have betrayed us in the past.
	Does anybody remember what happened in 2020?
	I can never forget it.
	Why is MAGA ignoring all of that?
	Anyway, when we talk about the firings, understand that's also a PR thing.
	These positions.
	She fired the ATF's top lawyer.
	These positions always change with every administration.
	What is different?
	Why are they firing them now?
	Instead of allowing them to submit a letter of resignation.
	Well, again, he's playing to his base.
	It's theatrics.
	It's public relations.
	Look, I fired them.
	I'm not taking their resignation.
	You can't resign.
	I fire you.
	That type of thing.
	But he's also escalating the partisan left-right.
	Animosity in all of this as well by firing them.
	So he's stoking his base and then he's stoking his enemies as well at the same time by firing them rather than letting them resign as typically happens.
	So the fact that the ATF's top lawyer is gone is no big deal.
	That happens with every administration.
	No big deal.
	The difference is that this person, it was a woman, Pamela Hicks, she was fired.
	Rather than allowed to have the dignity of leaving, which we've seen Trump do all the time.
	He hires people in his administration, and he's talking about, this is the best person you've ever, you know, nobody likes so-and-so.
	We've seen it over and over and over again in his first administration.
	Then he turns sour on them for one reason or the other.
	And they don't do something that he wants them to do, so he fires them.
	And he doesn't just, he doesn't allow them to, he fires them.
	And then he does his best to publicly humiliate them.
	That's his character.
	It hasn't changed.
	He did that with his first wife.
	He did it with his second wife.
	He publicly humiliates his wives.
	Of course he's going to publicly humiliate the people who are his opponents.
	So this is the issue.
	This guy is an agent of chaos.
	So let's talk a little bit about the history of the ATF. The history of a very despised agency.
	It began in the 1880s, and all the stuff that you see about moonshiners and all the rest of this stuff, they were called the revenuers then.
	They would go around to collect federal revenue on alcohol.
	So it was long ingrained for about 40 or 50 years, even before alcohol prohibition.
	The revenuers were hated, you know, these mountain stills here in Tennessee and all the rest of this stuff.
	And moonshiners is because of the revenuers.
	I remember the Beverly Hillbillies and Granny.
	Dang revenuers!
	Then it turned into the 1920s.
	It became, because they'd been dealing with taxes on alcohol, when they passed Prohibition of Alcohol with the 18th Amendment, it became the Bureau of Prohibition.
	And then it was brought into the FBI in 1933. 1933. So all of this stuff about, oh, well, look, we've never seen this before.
	Yeah, it was already in the FBI before.
	But since they brought it in to run alcohol prohibition under the FBI. But then right away, they passed the 21st Amendment in 1933. So it was only there for a very short period of time.
	And then alcohol prohibition ended.
	So what do they do?
	Well, they took people like Elliot Ness and the Untouchables, and they put them into the Alcohol Tax Unit.
	They became taxmen.
	And by the way, when they got Al Capone, of course, they got him not over alcohol prohibition, but they got him over taxes, okay?
	So Elliot Ness and his guys learned that taxes are the way that you get people, right?
	And so they were folded into the Alcohol Tax Unit, the ATU. And that went on until the 1950s.
	And then what they did was they added tobacco to the Alcohol Tax Unit.
	So then it became Alcohol and Tobacco Tax Division.
	So now they're out there collecting alcohol and tobacco taxes.
	Then in 1968, the Gun Control Act.
	The despised Gun Control Act.
	And by me, anyway.
	Probably by you, too, if you know anything about the Second Amendment.
	The 1968 Gun Control Act, what they did was they put firearms under their jurisdiction.
	So now they got alcohol, tobacco, and firearms in 1968. By 1972, they became an independent agency under the Treasury.
	And then in 2001, with Homeland Security and the massive rearrangement of all these federal law enforcement divisions, they put the ATF under the Department of Justice.
	So that's the history.
	The bureaucratic history of this hated bureaucracy, the ATF. And so putting the ATF in Patel's portfolio can signal that the ultimate objective is to dismantle it.
	I don't think so.
	I've seen it moved around over.
	I just told you how it's moved around from place to place.
	So that would be a bold move for a president who comes into his second term with a decidedly spotty record.
	Whoa.
	Whoa.
	Didn't expect to see Zero Hedge.
	Criticized Trump on the Second Amendment.
	Let me see if this is their article or somebody else's.
	Yeah, it doesn't have anything else.
	So this is actually Zero Hedge.
	They had the temerity to criticize Trump because he embraced red flag laws.
	Take the gun and do the due process later.
	Not just the Second Amendment, but of course, Fourth Amendment as well.
	Exceeding his authority, his first-term ATF imaginatively reinterpreted the definition of an automatic weapon to include bump stocks.
	But again, that wasn't the real issue.
	The real issue was gun control by executive order.
	And what Zero Hedge and most of the press does not talk about is the fact that Trump banned pistol braces after he did the bump stocks.
	By executive order, he banned pistol braces.
	That was put in in 2019, and then he pulled it out in 2020 after the election because he needed more support.
	So he got rid of it.
	And then about a month or so before Biden takes over, and then Biden puts the pistol brace in, and everybody's like, look, does he put in a pistol brace by executive order, which Trump had already done.
	And they conveniently not talked about it.
	So then Trump promised to push for increasing The legal age for purchasing firearms as well.
	So to say that he's got a spotty record?
	That's an understatement.
	So what will a president who despised and disregarded the Second Amendment and the Constitution will only do to this despised bureaucracy that's very existence in this entire history has been in defiance of the Constitution?
	On February the 7th, Trump signed an executive order that sought to curtail federal infringements on rights guaranteed by the Second Amendment.
	So he directed Attorney General Bondi to three things.
	Number one, catalog and address all actions by administration that infringed on gun rights.
	Number two, reverse the heavy-handed zero-tolerance or enhanced regulatory enforcement policy.
	Zero tolerance and enhanced regulatory enforcement policy.
	By which enforcement actions against federal firearm licensees, many of them small businesses, skyrocketed nearly sixfold.
	That is, putting it mildly, what the Biden administration decided to do was for any minor infraction or paperwork error that would normally have resulted in a small fine, they pulled these people's license to deal firearms away and shut the businesses down.
	And I report on that many, many, many times.
	So good.
	I'm glad that they do something about that.
	I would expect them to do that for their base.
	Review how firearms and ammunition are categorized and thus regulated.
	There is so much that should be done.
	But I'm afraid that it's going to stop short of an outright shutdown of the ATF. But as the old joke goes, they have at the tail end of the Zero Hedge article.
	Alcohol, tobacco, and firearms should be a convenience store.
	Not a government agency.
	That's my opinion as well.
	So Reason Magazine asks, is FBI Director Cash Patel, will he be a principled reformer or a Trump hatchet man?
	And this is what I've said from the very beginning.
	I said, look, we've got a lot of criminal actions that were conducted under the Biden administration, weaponized against Trump, against his supporters.
	And the question is, is he going to do something about it?
	Well, I hope so.
	But it's very important that when he does something about it, that it be seen as reform and not as revenge.
	But I said, and I still believe this, I said Trump will go out of his way to make even reform look like revenge.
	Because that makes him personally powerful.
	He's about making himself powerful, not the Constitution, folks.
	That's the key difference.
	And so for all the people who think that I'm going to come around to Trump, even if he does the right reform, if he's doing it and it's perceived as revenge and he can't help himself from doing that, that's a negative thing.
	Because now what we are moving towards is a situation where after each election, you lock up your opponent.
	That's a precedent that Biden started.
	And Trump needs to push back on that in a principled way, Trump and his other people.
	So reason is saying, well, is that what Kash Patel is going to do?
	Which is he going to do?
	Because he's been talking about nothing but revenge, just like Trump.
	They said before last fall's election, Kash Patel assured Trump's supporters that the former and future president's enemies would get their comeuppance once he was back in power.
	Patel, a former federal prosecutor who held various national security positions during Trump's first term, said a second Trump administration would, quote, come after, unquote, the deep state, quote, unquote, agents, including journalists, as well as former federal officials who supposedly had conspired to undermine democracy by opposing the president's agenda.
	You see, when he's coming after journalists, there's a lot of different ways they can come after journalists.
	You take a look at CBS. Can people not distinguish what CBS is saying is false or not?
	And so Trump, out of personal revenge, decided that he was going to sue them because he didn't like the way they did the Lala Harris interview.
	He said, you edited that to make her look good.
	Because they had two different clips of one answer that she gave.
	And when they got the records that he demanded in the lawsuit, When they got the records, you could see that she gave this long answer.
	They used part of the long meandering answer in promo and then the other one for the program.
	But as Reason said, neither of these things, she didn't say anything in either of them.
	One of them was more succinct nonsense, saying nothing.
	And the other one was rambling nonsense, saying nothing.
	But she said nothing in either of them.
	And that's the kind of editing that people always do for conciseness and for time limits.
	And so there wasn't any intention of deception.
	But it was Trump's ego.
	And so as a result, he put a big lawsuit against them for tens of billions of dollars.
	He doubled it just recently.
	And then he weaponized the FCC against CBS and said, we need to get their license.
	You've got all of the MAGA people saying, we need to get their license, we need to get their license.
	How are you going to feel about it when the next Democrat gets in and shuts down Fox News or Newsmax or whatever, take their license?
	Can't we distinguish what is true and what's not true?
	That's what J.D. Vance is lecturing the European government on, and yet Trump doesn't support free speech.
	He doesn't support the First Amendment.
	He doesn't support the Second Amendment.
	Not at all.
	When it's about his personal issue.
	And when I look at this lawsuit, what is the harm that was done?
	First of all, if they tried to do something for Lala Harris, that would not be an FCC issue.
	That would be like a campaign contribution, an FEC issue.
	Except that we have to be able to be free to discuss these things and to air our opinions.
	And if you want to go back and say, well, the news needs to be completely non-biased, that's absolute nonsense.
	There's no such thing as non-biased news.
	And you go back and you look at the fairness doctrine that was put in.
	When that was removed, oh, we've got to be balanced, we've got to be fair, and all the rest of the stuff.
	Which meant that you had to toe whatever the conventional wisdom was and the conventional narrative was at the time.
	And the rise of conservative talk radio, Rush Limbaugh, and the rest of this stuff was based on the fact that during the Reagan administration, they got rid of the Fairness Doctrine.
	So now you can have an opinion.
	It's okay to have an opinion in America.
	Imagine that.
	You can have a First Amendment opinion in America?
	Wow.
	But now they're moving away from that.
	He wants to punish his enemies.
	And he wants to reward his friends.
	I had a listener say, Well, I like your program, but I can't support you because you seem to hate Israel.
	Let me tell you, I hate the fact that they're trying to steal our First Amendment, and they paid politicians to do that.
	Don't tell me.
	And when we talk about Israel, what are you talking about?
	Are you talking about Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob?
	Or are you talking about Netanyahu and the government of Israel?
	What are you talking about?
	Let's define what our terms are here.
	This is thrown out.
	Is Judaism, is it an ethnicity?
	Is it a nation?
	Is it a people?
	Is it a religion?
	What is it?
	When you talk about Israel, you need to define that.
	And when you've got a foreign government that is paying American politicians to turn any speech against that foreign government into a crime, Yeah, I've got a big problem with that.
	A big problem with that.
	So, getting back to this.
	After Trump picked Patel to run the FBI, Patel repudiated his threats of retaliation, presenting himself as a sober and conscientious public servant who would never take retributive action or allow politics to affect decisions at the country's leading law enforcement agency.
	And they said the Republican-controlled Senate, which narrowly confirmed him as FBI director on Thursday, evidently bought that transformation.
	And they said soon we will know which Patel is running the FBI, the one that showed up for the Senate confirmation hearings or the one that we've seen talking on podcasts and publishing books for the last couple of years.
	In his podcast interviews, he comes across as a reckless partisan whose overriding concern is his loyalty to Trump.
	Even all of his confirmation hearings, he could not bring himself to acknowledge that Trump lost the 2020 presidential election.
	If he were to do that, it wouldn't matter what the Senate voted on.
	Trump would have him out of there.
	Because, again, it's about his ego, his image.
	Patel's dedication to Trump pervades even his children's books.
	I didn't know that he wrote children's books.
	Which recount the travails of...
	King Donald.
	The plot against the king.
	Look at that.
	Scroll up a little bit, Whistler.
	Yeah, King Donald.
	Wow.
	Yeah, these people keep wanting to make him a king, a czar.
	See, I have a real problem with that.
	I have a real problem with the MAGA people wanting to do that.
	So, King Donald and Patel's children's books.
	And, of course, he knows his audience, doesn't he?
	The childish mentality of the MAGA cult.
	He defeats his evil enemies with the help of a wizard called Cash.
	He even spells it the same way, with a K. Cash, the distinguished discoverer.
	An investigator, quote, known far and wide as the one person who could discover anything about anything.
	Oh, well, is that the kind of person who went running the FBI? That was kind of what J. Edgar Hoover did.
	He discovered everything about everyone, especially in Washington.
	He had files on everyone in Washington, so he could blackmail them.
	And Democrats and Republicans, from Truman to Nixon, they all said that the FBI was a Gestapo and that J. Edgar Hoover was blackmailing people left and right because he could discover anything about anyone.
	That's who you want.
	Somebody who writes books.
	About himself being that person, Cash, the distinguished discoverer?
	The same basic narrative underlies another book that he wrote in 2023. He called that one Government Gangsters, which describes a deep state conspiracy against Trump that Patel equates with a conspiracy to subvert democracy in the Constitution.
	The book lists 60 former executive branch officials who crossed Trump in one way or the other.
	All of whom Patel identifies as members of this cabal, a children's book.
	Yeah, it's like Jonathan Swift wrote Gulliver's Travel as a satire, kind of an adventure.
	They didn't have the genre of science fiction.
	It was magic fiction back then.
	But he did that because he didn't want to run afoul of the government, so he kind of quasi-disguised it.
	But Kash Patel is not so subtle with his metaphors.
	He doesn't even bother with metaphors.
	He goes straight for the person.
	He goes straight for the ad hominem.
	He dispenses with similes and metaphors and goes straight ad hominem.
	So he lists all the 60 former executive branch officials who crossed Trump in one way or the other, all of them members of the cabal.
	He lists Joe Biden, Hillary Clinton.
	And then Trump appointees, such as Attorney General Bill Barr, White House Counsel Pat Cipollone.
	Patel said, this list is not exhaustive.
	It does not, for example, include other corrupt actors of the first order, such as Congressman Adam Schiff and Eric Swalwell.
	Nor does it include the fake news media, which Patel also portrays as part of this conspiracy.
	During his confirmation hearing, he implausibly insisted that his catalog of corrupt actors did not amount to an enemies list, even though he put them in by name.
	He said he called that a mischaracterization.
	Yeah.
	In case there was any doubt about his attitude toward those alleged malefactors, Patel clarified what he thought should happen to them during a December 2023 interview with Steve Bannon, who asked Patel if he could promise that there would, quote, be serious prosecutions and accountability for these deep staters.
	Absolutely, Patel said.
	We will go out and find the conspirators, not just in government, but in the media.
	Yes, we're going to come after people in the media.
	A war on the press as well, which we're seeing with CBS. And look, CBS has lost all credibility with me.
	I don't believe a thing they say.
	But I absolutely would fight to the death against Trump shutting them down and taking their license.
	Don't you realize what a precedent that sets, MAGA? I mean, these people, they're mindless.
	And they're...
	Idolatry towards Trump.
	They can't understand.
	They're going to use Trump.
	These people are using Trump's a Democrat.
	He's a globalist.
	He's an Epstein buddy.
	As a matter of fact, this was sent to me by a listener.
	Where is it?
	I wasn't planning on playing it at this point in time.
	But, yeah, Trump is not happy with somebody holding up a picture.
	of him with Jeffrey Epstein.
	Thousands of miles coming through Mexico and we're going to stop it.
	Get him out of here.
	Yeah.
	Now, that's not a doctored picture.
	That's a true picture.
	And we know they were best friends for over a decade.
	They were the party boys.
	Were they talking about Palm Beach or you're talking about New York?
	Get him out of here.
	Throw him out.
	Throw him out.
	And the crowd is booing him.
	Are they booing him?
	They're okay with Trump and Epstein together.
	Not a problem.
	USA.
	Because Trump is USA.
	Even if Trump is with Epstein, Trump is still USA.
	And then, of course, after he ejects people, he's got to insult them.
	Personally.
	I don't know.
	Mm-hmm.
	Is that a man or a woman?
	Because he needs a haircut more than I do.
	Oh, yeah.
	There we go.
	And the crowd cheers.
	Get a haircut.
	Get a haircut.
	Always makes me think about Crosby, Stills, Nash.
	No, I was not a long hair.
	Well, actually, I did.
	Go through a period of rebelliousness after I was kicked out of a Christian college because my hair was touching my ears.
	I said, oh yeah?
	Okay, well let me show you how long I can grow my hair.
	So I had long hair for a short period of time.
	But anyway, a very short period of time.
	I was always, through the 60s when I was in junior high school, early in high school, I was always against those hippies with the long hair.
	Then I went through my period of rebelliousness.
	I was like, you're going to tell me in a Christian college that I've got to cut my hair?
	You're not going to tolerate?
	And it wasn't long.
	It wasn't long at that point in time.
	It was not really any longer than it is now.
	And I didn't have a beard then either.
	So, you know, anyway.
	What was I talking about here?
	Get that long hair.
	Oh, I said, whenever I see that stuff, I always, I thought it was funny.
	In the 60s, Crosby's still nice and young.
	Maybe his early 70s.
	Or he did that song, I Almost Cut My Hair.
	Think about that every time I get a haircut.
	Anyway, so he says, so we're going to come after you in the media.
	We're going to be putting all of you on notice.
	And Steve, this is why they hate us.
	Because we're against the First Amendment.
	Oh no, he didn't say that.
	That's why I hate him, because he's against the First Amendment.
	Just, you know, not as a person.
	Cash, I don't have anything against you as a person.
	But as an official and a commentator, I really despise what you do.
	But, you know, Jesus loves you.
	But why should we be concerned about gangster government?
	I mean, we've got another version of gangster government.
	You know, I was just talking about the Untouchables and the ATF. Then I see this about gangster government.
	And it reminded me of the clip from Brian DePalmer's Untouchables.
	You said you wanted to know how to get to Capone.
	Do you really want to get him?
	You see what I'm saying?
	What are you prepared to do?
	Everything within the law.
	And then what are you prepared to do?
	If you open the ball on these people, Mr. Nurse, you must be prepared to go all the way.
	Because they won't give up the fight until one of you is dead.
	I want to get Capone.
	I don't know how to get him.
	You want to get Capone?
	Here's how you get him.
	He pulls a knife, you pull a gun.
	He sends one of yours to the hospital, you send one of his to the morgue.
	That's the Chicago way.
	And that's how you get Capone.
	Now, do you want to do that?
	Are you ready to do that?
	Yeah.
	Isn't that an interesting scene?
	That really gets to the essence of everybody in government, isn't it?
	And especially in the Trump administration.
	Gangster government.
	Well, you know, he pulls a knife, you get a gun, you know, that type of thing.
	Great screenwriting by David Mamet, one of my favorite screenwriters, who has, by the way, now espoused conservative and libertarian views, and so he can't work in Hollywood anymore.
	I'm serious.
	I'm serious.
	David Mamet, who had so many wonderful films.
	I'd love to interview him someday.
	But anyway, Patel highlights the threat to civil liberties posed by surveillance.
	And he says it's justified in the name of national security.
	You see?
	That's how we get to this situation.
	Well, we got national security.
	All right, so they pull a knife, you get a gun, that type of thing.
	Keep escalating this.
	And it never ends.
	He says applications for warrants under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, FISA, should always be vetted by the Justice Department instead of by the FBI's general counsel.
	He thinks that the FISA court judges should serve longer terms so they have more experience in this area and are less apt to be hoodwinked by dishonest FBI agents or prosecutors.
	Well, what about dishonest judges that you keep in forever?
	See, again, this is another example.
	You need to get rid of FISA. FISA came to us because of the church committee hearings and because of the Pike committee hearings.
	The church was in the Senate and the Pike committee hearings were in the House.
	Both of them knew that from their inception, the CIA and the NSA had been spying illegally in violation of the Constitution on Americans without search warrants.
	And so they had to come up with a way to allow them to do their mission and still try to get them to follow the Constitution.
	So they came up with the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act that you can only surveil without a warrant.
	You can only surveil foreigners in foreign countries.
	You can't even surveil foreigners in America without a warrant.
	That's the theory.
	The reality is Is that FISA was created with a gigantic back door.
	And that back door is the FISA court.
	A star chamber proceedings where you are like a grand jury or something.
	Where you don't have any say.
	There's nobody presenting any contrary evidence.
	And you go before one judge, not even a grand jury.
	And this is a secretive Star Chamber process to allow them to single out an individual and to surveil them.
	Now, anything that they can't do, of course, because of five eyes, they could get the British government to do it.
	Or the Australian or New Zealand government, or maybe Canada if they haven't really gotten thoroughly annoyed with us.
	Who knows?
	But they can get one of these other governments to look at Americans in America without a search warrant, and then they can just hand that over.
	It's the same principle that the American government has set up for the phone company, for example, to spy on you.
	Going back to the 1960s, and that's one of the reasons why they had the church committee hearing, was because the government would come in to these corporations and say, well, that's your data.
	And so if you want to give us the data, we don't have to get a search warrant.
	Maybe we can ask anybody for anything.
	If they voluntarily give it up, well, we don't need to have a search warrant.
	You know, that's why when the Child Protective Services comes to your door and knocks on it, you don't voluntarily give them anything.
	You may have nothing to hide, but that doesn't mean that they won't twist whatever you have to say.
	So you get on the phone, you call the Homeschool Legal Defense Association.
	Seriously.
	And you do not let them in.
	You say, get a warrant.
	Goodbye.
	And so, this has long been set up.
	But of course, the naivete of all this, the purpose of these so-called reforms, shaving a little bit here and having big PR stuff, the purpose of this, folks, is not only to minimize government and maximize Elon Musk's governance with AI. The other part of this is to restore trust in government.
	Trump is there to get you to trust him and to trust government.
	It's a con game.
	And you're going to see a lot of things done in the first couple of years.
	Well, I don't know.
	I thought Trump was pretty bad at first, but look at this.
	He's doing great stuff.
	It's a con game.
	It's a con game.
	Be skeptical.
	Be cynical.
	Stay free.
	Don't let these people entrap and kill you.
	Enslave you.
	No.
	So what he's saying is now, one of the other things he wants to do, he wants to move the FBI people out of Washington, D.C. because he said, I want to avoid institutional capture and put agents where they belong in everyday America, rooting out crime and securing our communities.
	Will the John Birch Society come out and oppose this idea?
	This is a horrible idea.
	Law enforcement...
	It's not the duty of the federal government, but he wants to make it the duty of the federal government and put them at the local level, even.
	And what it's going to do is going to be an institutional capture of your local sheriff, is what it's going to do.
	It's going to corrupt local law enforcement.
	It's going to preempt local law enforcement because these people have unlimited amounts of money, and everybody is so enamored with somebody that's got an agency.
	It's got federal in the name.
	And so he's going to institutionally capture local law enforcement.
	Now, the John Birch Society, going back to the 1950s and 60s, was on spot on.
	Support your local sheriff and try to keep law enforcement local.
	It's dangerous enough when it's local because we have a lot of bad sheriffs, but you have the opportunity to at least vote for them.
	And it's not as bad as if you've got everything centralized.
	And so they have taken the lead on that.
	But now...
	Like most conservatives, they seem to be afraid to criticize Donald Trump.
	Will they criticize at least Kash Patel for wanting to federalize all local law enforcement?
	That's what we're talking about here!
	Federalizing all local law enforcement.
	I hope that they come out of their slumber.
	On the face of it, putting a harsh FBI critic in charge of the agency is a welcome development, but...
	This particular critic also has a history of advocating politically motivated investigations even as he condemns them.
	And you see, that's the key.
	What Trump is doing on the face of it, on the face of it, looks like good stuff.
	The devil's in the details.
	The devil is to come.
	The details are coming lighter.
	Stay at arm's length.
	Don't embrace him.
	Don't fall at Trump's feet.
	Don't fall at anybody's feet.
	The question is whether Patel can move beyond his Trump-centric critique of the FBI and apply his avowed principles consistently which might require resisting the President's repeatedly expressed desire to punish his political opponents under the guise of enforcing the law.
	They've talked so much about this that If Trump really wanted to do the right thing, he would go to extra lengths to walk back this rhetoric, but he's not.
	He's not doing it at all.
	As a matter of fact, he's still boasting about it, as we're going to see after we take a break here and come back, what he's going to do.
	It's all about a personal power trip.
	Patel's record as embarrassingly obeisant Trump toady does not inspire much confidence on that score.
	So we're going to take a quick break, and we're going to talk about How government really works because there's so many people who, to this day, want to argue about what Trump did or did not do five years ago.
	He was not responsible.
	It is the bad Democrat governors.
	And I've interviewed several of the G6ers because what was done to them was horrific.
	And yet, yet, they want to make excuses for Trump when it came to 2020. Oh, it wasn't him.
	It was the bad Democrat governors.
	Well, he could have stopped them, couldn't he?
	And we'll talk about how that works when we come back.
	I want to say, though, on Friday, there was a tip from SVC Cat.
	Thank you very much for that.
	And by the way, when I talked about Dan Bongino, it made me think about Rumble.
	Rumble has been fixed now.
	Whatever was happening internally, and it might have just been an accounting thing, they got several months behind in terms of paying us, but they have caught up now.
	So I just want to let people know that, and I really do appreciate your support in terms of tips and other things like that.
	Audi, Modern Retro Radio, thank you very much.
	I appreciate that.
	That's very generous.
	He said the ATF was a criminal agency since its very inception.
	To this day, it conceives rules to turn lawful Americans into overnight felons.
	Absolutely right.
	And that's what is wrong with so many of these organizations.
	And then the methods that they use now.
	The militarization of the police, the SWAT teams, all the rest of this stuff.
	Civil asset forfeiture.
	Stealing people's property without even charging them with a crime, let alone charging them and giving them due process.
	And finding them guilty.
	Everybody freaked out about Trump saying that about red flag laws for gun owners.
	And they absolutely should.
	It was horrific that he would say that.
	And yet, do they not realize that that's what is happening all the time?
	In the name of the war on drugs, the civil asset forfeiture, we take the whatever, fill in the blank.
	The gun, the house, the car, the cash, you name it.
	The plane, the business, the hotel.
	We take it first and we do the due process later.
	Maybe.
	Maybe.
	Well, if you do the due process later, then it's not due process.
	The process is due before you enact a punishment.
	It's just that simple.
	DG8, thank you for the tip.
	He says, David, have a terrific day.
	God bless you and your family and all your fantastic listeners.
	Thank you very much.
	I appreciate that.
	Whistler said the Beverly Hillbillies call the internal revenuers the infernal revenuers.
	He remembers it better than I do, even.
	Because we did play the Beverly Hillbillies for the kids when they were small.
	And I thought it was a hilarious comedy.
	Fish out of water is the genre of the Beverly Hillbillies, and they milked it for everything it was worth, didn't they?
	we're going to take a quick break and we'll be right back
	music plays
	music
	plays music plays
	music plays You're listening to The David Knight Show.
	That's right, boys and girls.
	There's a post-election sale on silver and gold.
	Trump euphoria has caused a dip in silver and gold.
	It's time to buy some medals with fiat dollars before they come to their sense.
	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.
	You know, I wonder if they go to Fort Knox, if Yukon Cornelius went I wonder if they go to Fort Knox, if Yukon Cornelius went to Fort Knox, would he find Ha ha!
	Or would he find fiat, a big IOU or something like that?
	Well, you know, Scott Bessonet, who is a Treasury Secretary, just dismissed this out of hand, that gold would be missing in Fort Knox.
	One thing potentially that could happen, and people are questioning it, is maybe remarking gold.
	Elon Musk, who's leading Doge, was talking about maybe going to Fort Knox to make sure those gold reserves are there.
	That comes under your purview.
	Do you have any plans to visit Kentucky?
	I don't have any plans.
	I can tell you that we do an audit every year.
	Line snake.
	On camera right now.
	Light of your face.
	There was a report September 30th, 2024. All the gold is there.
	Any U.S. Because we said so.
	Who wants to come and visit it can arrange a visit through our office.
	Gold was your biggest holding when you were a hedge fund manager before you did it.
	Well, yeah, he knows our gold.
	So there you go.
	It's there because we said so.
	Just like the dollar is worth something because we say so.
	It's a fiat.
	It was a fiat audit.
	Scott Besant, the guy who helped George Soros, a key person under George Soros when George Soros broke the Bank of England.
	What's Scott Besant there to do to us?
	A guy who will look in the camera and lie to your face about the audience.
	I went through all the different ones and how all the information is missing and how few of them they've done, how they haven't.
	So, yeah, he'll lie right to your face.
	That's why I say you don't trust these people.
	Never trust them.
	Audit them.
	Pay attention to what they have to say.
	Timed non-tides says Trump can repeal all his red flag laws that he helped to pass.
	Yeah, that'd be a start, wouldn't it?
	Steve says, David, please address our executive orders outside of executive branch employees constitutional.
	If so, where is it in the Constitution?
	Exactly right.
	Exactly right.
	There is no constitutional authority.
	And this is the other thing.
	They're freaking out about Trump adjusting personnel, saying that Trump has to spend all the money that Congress has appropriate.
	He doesn't.
	He doesn't.
	Just like with DACA, for example.
	That was an executive order from the Obama administration where you had his...
	His attorney general said, I'm not going to enforce the law.
	That's what it means.
	Delayed action.
	I'm not going to enforce the immigration law.
	So who's she to say that she's not going to enforce the law?
	She already took an oath to enforce the law, to obey the Constitution and to enforce the law.
	How can she say that?
	And how can, if you're going to say that this president can put out an order, again, that would affect They're employees, because he just says, don't do this.
	But if he's going to put out an executive order, how is it that Trump can't overturn his executive order?
	Why would Trump pretend that he couldn't overturn that when the court told him he couldn't?
	Because he didn't really want to.
	And so they play these games, but an executive order...
	That says that we all have to do this or that doesn't have any authority, and we're going to talk about that.
	So how does the president actually make these things happen?
	He does it with money.
	With money.
	And they do it with bribery, and they bribe people with money.
	They blackmail people by saying that they're going to take the funding away.
	That's how the executive orders actually operate.
	And that's why that executive order on March 13, 2020, was all about money.
	It was about the same kind of thing where they should have helped people if they're going to have a welfare state.
	You don't care about the welfare of the people who were hurt by the hurricane.
	See, it's that double standard that's even worse than the unconstitutional welfare state.
	DG8, David Cash Patel, he spells cash with a dollar sign S, Cash Patel has been right with Stu Peters, and when questioned during hearings, he denied knowing him.
	These people run from their allies just like Trump with Epstein.
	Falling says, thank you for the tip.
	He says, all I can tell is humanity marches to the final war, as told by John the disciple, believe it or not, Paul, Daniel, Ezekiel, Elijah, Christ himself, and even Mohammed.
	The last term of peace is now.
	Well, we never know what the exact timing is going to be.
	You know, we have a lot of people who believe that it's the end of the world.
	And, of course, a lot of people were saying that World War II was the end of the world and that Adolf Hitler was the Antichrist and so forth.
	I think what is happening is that you have – this keeps recurring throughout history because these governments are actually minions of Satan.
	That's the way I view government.
	That's one of the reasons I don't trust it is because they have pledged their allegiance to the dark side if you want to talk about Star Wars, but they've pledged their allegiance to Satan if you want to talk about the Bible.
	He said to Jesus, I've got all these kingdoms and I can give it to whoever I wish.
	Bow down and worship me.
	So I look at this and it's like, okay.
	He gave that kingdom to that guy because he bowed down and worshipped him.
	And you can see it in their actions and in their lives that they bowed down and worshipped him.
	If he didn't have that power, it wouldn't have been any temptation to Christ, would it?
	Well, DGA, David, all that butt-kissing by Dan Bongino paid off.
	As long as you worship him, that's the only way he appoints you.
	Yeah.
	Atomic Dog says radio shows were miserable when fairness was enforced.
	Absolutely right.
	And, you know, every time I talk about this, I always say, well, we're going to talk about fairness.
	Or objectivity or whatever.
	Nobody is objective.
	Anybody that tells you that they are objective is lying to you.
	And maybe to themselves.
	If they honestly believe that.
	Some people actually believe that they're actually objective.
	The very news that you choose to print shows your political bias.
	Just take a look at Drudge.
	And look at how Drudge has changed.
	And so, you know, Drudge doesn't write anything.
	He just decides what he's going to talk about.
	The very process of looking through all of this massive fire hose of information every day.
	And I look at 48 different news sites.
	And when he puts together a news aggregation site, he's looked at a lot of different things as well.
	And he chooses what he's going to put up and what he's not going to put up.
	And we saw Drudge.
	Everybody said, oh, Drudge is very conservative.
	Now everybody says, oh, Drudge is very liberal.
	Maybe he's not Drudge.
	Maybe he's somebody else.
	But the very fact that you've got a news aggregation site, and we all know that there's other conservative news aggregation sites as well.
	And what they choose to put up shows their bias.
	What you choose to even talk about, let alone what you say within the articles.
	It's all biased.
	Everything is biased.
	We don't need to be protected.
	From government.
	And we don't need to be, the truth does not need to be protected.
	As has been said, it's like a lion.
	You let it loose.
	The truth.
	It can handle itself.
	My name is 777, says when Israel, the people, begged for a king, God gave them Saul.
	Be careful what you wish for.
	That's right.
	He says, yeah, he's going to take all this money from you.
	He's going to co-op your daughters into servants.
	He's going to send your sons off to war.
	That's okay.
	We want a king.
	We want to be like everybody else.
	We want to have, and that's why Samuel said, or God said to Samuel, he said, they didn't reject you.
	They rejected me.
	They had a king.
	During the American Revolution, they would say, no king but Jesus.
	But now we want a king.
	We want a czar.
	We want a King Trump.
	Cash Patel wants a King Trump.
	That's scary, folks.
	It is.
	Atomic Dog.
	David's social media was on fire about Cash releasing the names of people attending Epstein's Island on his first day.
	As you can imagine, nothing.
	Crickets.
	Yeah, again, he won't even put up any pictures of Donald Trump with Jeffrey Epstein.
	I bet.
	Ryan and Deb McCartney get to say, wait till cash is king.
	Yeah, these are going to be the people who want us to be cashless.
	I didn't realize when I did that, when Whistler, when we talked about it, we joked about it, that Yukon Cornelius thing.
	Didn't realize it would be seeing the end of the penny in a couple of months.
	Because that's the thin end of the wedge.
	In terms of taking this cashless, folks.
	It really is.
	You're going to make that argument.
	Well, it costs more to print this thing or to mint it than it does, than its intrinsic value.
	So what?
	It probably always costs more than a penny to make a penny.
	Well, not necessarily.
	I don't know.
	I mean, over the weekend, we just watched How Green Was My Valley, and it was amazing to see the amount of money that these people were getting in the late 1800s for a week's wages.
	Like a couple of pounds, you know.
	So we're talking about, you know, full week's wages for like three bucks or something.
	That's the kind of inflation that the central banks have brought to us.
	What an excellent movie, by the way.
	It wasn't Whistler's Cup of Tea, but it was good enough that it kept his attention, I think.
	That interesting little side note there, that film, one had something like, I forget how many.
	Oscar nominations that had like 10 or something like that, but it beat out Citizen Kane, Sergeant York, and a bunch of others, and I really enjoyed it because it was a look at life in a small Welsh coal mining town and the families and how they were centered around God, and I looked up the history of it.
	I thought it was kind of interesting.
	The guy who wrote the story, well, first it was based on a book, and the guy who wrote the book made it It's autobiographical.
	But they figured out later on that, no, he actually never lived in that city during that time.
	But he did go there a lot and talk to the people.
	And so everybody felt that it was an authentic portrayal of what life was like at the time, based on the recollections of people who lived there and the people that he interviewed.
	What I thought was interesting was the fact that I looked it up, and now, of course, the coal mine has long since shut down, played out.
	And that small village that is there, they did a poll.
	In the UK, of all cities, of 1,500 people or more.
	Communities, I should say, I guess.
	And that small village, in all the United Kingdom, was the least religious of any place.
	In other words, the fewest number of people who said that they were religious.
	Atheists.
	Hopeless.
	Godless.
	And I thought, wow, how things have changed in 150 years from that kind of society where the families were so strong and God was at the center of everything.
	And I thought, this is really a metaphor for what has happened to Western civilization.
	Truly amazing.
	Yonah Anawodi, what needs to happen first and foremost is that no individual should be allowed to hold political office if they hold a passport or citizenship to any other country other than the USA.
	No exceptions.
	No more divided loyalties.
	I absolutely agree.
	It absolutely disgusted me See the, I think it was Rashida Tlaib, when she won.
	You know, she's got all her relatives there, and they're doing, you know, they've got the Palestinian flag.
	It's just like, go home.
	Go home.
	That's your home?
	Go home.
	And then recently, we just had a Republican congressman who goes to Congress dressed in his Israeli Defense Forces uniform.
	Okay, you're part of the Israeli army, and that's what's important to you?
	Go home.
	Go home.
	I'm disgusted with both of these sides, frankly.
	Narrowgate Ministries says, Since qualified immunity, police at all levels have been slowly implementing Gestapo and SS tactics, and the courts have shielded them, building up to a national police force to institute a beast agenda.
	Yeah, if you don't punish people when they violate the law.
	That's why I said it's important for Trump to punish the Biden officials who violate the law.
	The problem is that you need to do it in a way that magnifies the law and the rule of law and not magnifies Trump as a better not mess with this guy.
	He's a gangster, right?
	And that's the way Kash Patel and these other people, Steve Bannon, they're all talking about it.
	Don't mess with me.
	That's the way Trump likes to portray himself.
	He likes to portray himself as a mafia gangster.
	About Waco, Matthew Ronson said, ATF slaughtered kids in order to save them.
	Yeah, the whole idea that they're just going to burn men, women, and children and say, well, you know, we had allegations of child abuse, and yet that's not the ATF's jurisdiction.
	It was such an obvious lie, and yet, just like bird flu and just like COVID, it's put out there by the mainstream media, and it's amazing to me to see how many people buy into it.
	OctoSpook.
	There's a video of government murdering Waco victims as they were attempting to escape.
	If you haven't seen it, you need to.
	I haven't seen that one.
	I haven't seen that.
	I've talked about how they used CS gas in an enclosed space, how they waited for a windy day, and how CS gas is prohibited by Geneva Convention.
	From being used on people, especially in an enclosed area.
	Prohibited from being used against minors, for example, as well.
	I mean, they violated one.
	They didn't just violate the law or the Constitution.
	They violated all these international agreements, and of course they acted in a way that was a violation of basic humanity.
	So let's talk, I said before, so when we talk about executive orders, does Trump have the constitutional authority?
	To order anybody outside of the executive branch, as the listener said earlier.
	No.
	No, of course he doesn't.
	As a matter of fact, he doesn't have the authority to order governors either.
	And so MAGA has said, well, he didn't do it.
	It was the government that did it.
	Well, he paid them to do it.
	And this back and forth that he has with the governor of Maine over the transgender executive order.
	Which again, is something that he doesn't have any executive authority to do.
	You know, if you've listened to this program, that I absolutely am not on board with the transgender agenda.
	I consider it to be pedophilia.
	And I consider it to be conditioning people for transhumanism as well.
	Immediately, it's about pedophilia.
	Secondarily, in the longer term, it's about transitioning people into this virtual reality of transhumanism.
	And to make them think that they can change not only their gender, but their species or whatever, but just to get them to live in this imaginary virtual world.
	And so I'm adamantly and 100% opposed to the transgender stuff.
	However, this is something that has to be done at the state and local level and at the parental level as well.
	This is not something that King Trump can order around.
	And so during the National Governors Association meeting at the White House on Friday, you had this back and forth.
	The NCAA has complied immediately, by the way.
	That's good.
	But I understand Maine.
	Is Maine here, the governor of Maine?
	Are you not going to comply with it?
	I'm complying with state and federal law.
	Well, we are the federal law.
	Well, you better do it.
	You better do it.
	You are the law?
	You get any federal funding at all if you don't.
	That's the key.
	Even though it's somewhat liberal, although I did very well there, your population doesn't want men playing in women's sports.
	So you better comply, because otherwise you're not getting any federal funding.
	Every state, good, I'll see you in court.
	I look forward to that.
	That should be a real easy one.
	Yeah, it should be, because you don't have any authority, Trump.
	I can't.
	It matters how we do things, right?
	Are you going to lie in order to do good?
	Or are you going to tell people what the truth is?
	You're going to lie about the authority of these regulatory agencies to shut down the Second Amendment so that you can get the job to be FBI director?
	And he didn't pull out, I don't know if Gavin Newsom wasn't there, but I talked about this last week.
	I said we've got both California and Maine.
	Are saying, well, I'm not going to pay attention to the president's orders about transgender stuff.
	He doesn't have any authority about that.
	Now, he can do something about it in the military, and he should, and he is, apparently.
	He did in his first term, even.
	And that's good.
	Under his administration, he took care of that the first time around.
	But he doesn't have any authority to tell people what to do in the various states, and that's a good thing.
	You know, we should be fighting these battles at the state level.
	We don't want to elect a king that is going to fight all our battles for us because they don't do it.
	And so he says to her, first of all, he says, we are the federal law.
	I am the law.
	Judge Dredd, right?
	As done by Sylvester Stallone.
	But he's not the law.
	He's not the law.
	And he, see, when he says that, That just speaks so much about what he's doing here.
	That's a dictator.
	He sees himself as a dictator.
	How many times does he need to say it?
	How many times do these people have to flirt with the idea, oh, he's the chosen one of God.
	He's the Messiah, this and that.
	Oh, just kidding, just kidding.
	Oh, really?
	Really?
	You know, if you're married and you're constantly making remarks about all the women around you and your wife is like, what?
	You know, just kidding, darling.
	Just kidding.
	After a while, she figures out you're not kidding, right?
	After a while, we figure out this guy really wants to be a dictator.
	He really wants to break his oath to the Constitution.
	And he says, we are the federal law.
	If I do an executive order, that's now the law and you must obey it because I'm now the dictator.
	See?
	He says, you better do it.
	And then now he knows, though, how he's going to enforce this.
	And this is a lesson for the MAGA people.
	He says, you better do it, or you're not going to get federal funding.
	He has no power under the Constitution.
	He has no power in his office, except the government, because of fiat currency, and because of all the bluffs about gold and foretocks, all the bluffs about how they can just print up.
	Money without any responsibility.
	And then they print this money out of thin air, or they add credits on the computer more precisely, and then they bribe people with it.
	And that's the power.
	And that's what Trump was doing with his March 13th executive order.
	And when I try to explain that over and over again to people who are trying to excuse what Trump did in 2020, I would always say, Truman said, the buck stops here.
	And I said, and actually...
	Trump began the bucks there.
	You know, he did all this tyranny of Operation Warp Speed, killing people with ventilators and bribing hospitals to kill people and to give them the wrong treatments and to deny treatment and all the rest of this stuff so that he could have an increase in excess deaths, which was nothing compared to the vaccine rollout.
	Nothing.
	Nothing at all.
	You compare it to that vaccine spike and the little bit of increase in And excess deaths that you saw through Trump's warp speed looked like a flat line compared to normal trend.
	It all came with his shot.
	But he was bribing hospitals to kill people.
	And so she comes back and she says, see you in court.
	She doesn't have to do that.
	She only has to go to court if she wants the money.
	Matthew Ronson, I only paid the hitman.
	I didn't murder anybody.
	Yeah, that's right.
	And he kept paying them.
	And I said, when I tried to explain it to them, I even used this transgender thing.
	I said, look, Obama said that he was going, because that was in 2020 when I was trying to explain it to the MAGA people who hated me because I said Trump was responsible for this.
	I said, look at what Obama did with the trannies.
	He said, I want the boys in the girls' bathrooms and showers, and if you don't do that, I'm going to take away your Title IX, Title X funding, right?
	Take away money from your schools.
	And so I said he threatened to remove money from them.
	I said what Trump is doing is giving money to them.
	And then what we saw with Biden as well was he threatened to remove money if you didn't vaccinate everybody.
	He didn't have any authority to make any hospital vaccinate people.
	It's just that he was going to take away the bonus money that Trump had been giving them if they didn't.
	And so you can bribe and you can blackmail people over the money.
	That's the way it works.
	It always works.
	That's what Trump was saying.
	Now, as I said before, I don't know if Gavin Newsom was there because In California, as well as in Maine, they said, we're not going to follow Trump's executive orders on the transgender stuff.
	And that might be why he started out with Maine and didn't say anything about California, because maybe Newsom wasn't there.
	But the night before, on Thursday night, so that was Friday, the governor's meeting there, and he was prepping all this.
	He had planned all this.
	He's a master of public relations.
	He's a master performer.
	Theatrics and all that.
	That's his specialty.
	And so the night before, he was prepping for this, and then he had this exchange set up in the office.
	But here's what he told his people the night before.
	I heard men are still playing in Maine.
	Is anybody here from Maine?
	He doesn't mention California, because he knows that Newsom's not coming the next day.
	Well, I hate to tell you this, but we're not going to give them any federal money.
	Still saying we want men to play in women's sports, and I cannot believe that they're doing that.
	They are.
	Let's find out who that guy is that raised his hand.
	Maybe he's just kidding.
	So we're not going to give them any federal funding, none whatsoever, until they clean that up.
	Well, there you go.
	Executive Order signs February the 5th pulls funds from educational programs that fail to adhere to the ban.
	Now, here's the bottom line for each and every one of us.
	This is not just about politics.
	Thousands of miles away from where you live, for most of us.
	This is about how it affects your daily life.
	And it especially affects us with the educational department, if you stop and think about this.
	Again, we're talking about the transgender agenda in sports.
	And I think he put in some equivalent Orders in terms of curriculum, stuff like that.
	But of course, it'll be put back in with a Democrat if we're going to play this game.
	And the Democrat will say, you must do what Trump is saying you must not do.
	And both of them will pull the purse strings to make you do or not do whatever it is that they want you to do or not do.
	So we're just going to go back and forth with this if we don't have the rule of law.
	And if we don't take responsibility ourselves.
	You see, the main governor and the California governor are not telling him, Keep your money, and I'll tell you where you can stuff it.
	They're saying, I'll see you in court, because I'm going to fight you in court to get that money.
	They're not independent.
	And the reason I mention this, and what I want to get across to everybody, is that what Trump is doing with the Department of Education, I hate the Department of Education.
	I've always hated the Department of Education.
	It was an abomination from the very beginning.
	In 1980, Ronald Reagan said he was going to get rid of it.
	And I was all for that, but of course he didn't do it.
	That was when it was created in 1980. And so all these presidents have promised to do it.
	They never do it.
	I've always said it's one of the first agencies that needs to be shut down because education is so important and we've got to get government out of it.
	We need a separation of education and state.
	That's what we really need.
	And yet, what he's talking about doing is shutting down Some of the bureaucracy.
	But handing out the college scholarships and stuff, you want to know why college tuition is so expensive?
	It's because it's been subsidized by the government for so long.
	That's a fact.
	And there's a lot of conservative economists.
	I think Sal talked about that.
	Many of them talked about how it's inflated the tuition.
	That's come about because the government has subsidized it.
	It always causes that type of result.
	They're going to take the college scholarships and they'll put them in the treasury department or whatever.
	And then they'll move this other money funding thing over to this other department.
	And what they want to do is they want to bribe you, which is what UNESCO said to do.
	So get control of education by allowing people to have choice but funding it.
	So that in order for them to get them hooked on the money, From you.
	And then you can control it.
	You fund it.
	You control it.
	It's just that simple.
	People talk about personnel being policy.
	Well, I'll tell you what else is policy.
	Cash.
	Cash is king.
	And you give people the money.
	And this is a warning to all of you, whether you're talking about state money or you're talking about federal money.
	Homeschoolers.
	Anybody that sets up for private school.
	Do not take money from government.
	Because along with that will come strings of control.
	And it's a trap.
	You know, cue Admiral Akbar.
	That's a trap.
	So any future president will weaponize his priorities, just like Obama and Biden have done, by blackmailing over money that you become addictive to.
	And Trump will do the same thing with education, and that's a really dangerous approach that he's running.
	We don't want their money.
	As a matter of fact, some of the good Tennessee legislators...
	Put a bill through, unfortunately, you know, just like the bill to keep out-of-state money out of our state elections, this bill also failed because it was about taking money.
	And the legislators, some of them understood that the key to having freedom is to stop taking federal money.
	And so we're going to just tell the federal government to keep your money for education and other things like that.
	Unfortunately, they were in the minority of the Republican Party even.
	So, even.
	Yeah, of course.
	So, Eli, Eli, thank you for the tip.
	I appreciate that.
	He says, son of perdition on display.
	I expect he will continue through some presidential power on 2027 through 2035. Who knows?
	Who knows?
	I mean, we're in a time period right now, one way or the other.
	We are experiencing very, very rapid chaos.
	Even if we're not experiencing rapid change.
	Like I said, it remains to be seen whether or not there's going to be change.
	And we're going to talk about how some of this stuff is being walked back already.
	But it is rapid chaos.
	A couple of comments from Jason Barker and Angry Tiger, Knights of the Storm.
	Of course, they both have got their own individual shows.
	Jason Barker, The Foxhole Report, and Angry Tiger with The Angry Tiger Report.
	Jason Barker says, Part of Trump's Agenda 47 was to consolidate agencies under the executive.
	And he's building a dictatorship, and MAGA is going along.
	You're absolutely right.
	Absolutely right.
	Angry Tiger, just because we might like something he's doing by dictate doesn't mean it's okay to do it by dictate.
	We have a king.
	Everyone on the right is going along with these executive orders because they like them.
	What does that say about their principles?
	What principles?
	Rhetorical, of course.
	DG8, thank you.
	Says, David, the Trump cult just can't see.
	The Trump who was running in 2016 is long gone.
	All that's left is a gun-grabbing, abortion-loving, transhumanist father of the vaccine fraud, not America First.
	I absolutely agree.
	And, you know, I played that clip last week.
	I thought it was interesting.
	I hadn't seen it for a long time, and that was during the debate of 2016 with a lot of Republican candidates, and it was early on.
	And they were at the Reagan Library, and back and forth between Trump and Jeb Bush.
	And Trump is accusing Jeb Bush of being bought because he's taken $100 million in donations.
	Well, Trump has taken that just from the Adelsons.
	He took $250 million from Musk and on and on.
	But at the time, Trump was saying, you're bought by these people.
	You take their money.
	You're bought.
	I'm self-financing my campaign and all the rest of the stuff.
	Yeah, well, I'd like for Trump 2016 to talk about Trump 2025. So, how do we talk to people who don't like Trump?
	This is the headline from Christian Post.
	Assuming that if you're a Christian, you must like Trump, right?
	It'd be absolutely unchristian not to bow and worship the chosen one, as Wayne Allen Root defiantly and continually calls him.
	So, I guess I look at this and it's like, how to talk to people who don't like Trump?
	Well, how do we talk to people who idolize him?
	And who love dictatorship?
	That's my question.
	But this person says, well, God's grace is an opportunity to turn America away from the progressive policies of the previous administration.
	Of course, if we're going to have real change, it's going to happen in your home, with your family, and then in your community, and then in your state, and it's going to be from the bottom up.
	It is our goal to do more than to educate on the important issues of the day, but to also train on how to have civil discourse with other people.
	Well, you might want to start with your Christian lessons with your commander and chief of chaos.
	This is the guy, just think about this.
	You go out and you see what happens, tell this author, this is Debbie Wuthnow, who is an op-ed contributor on Christian Post.
	I tell you what, Debbie, you go to the White House and you offer to train Trump on how to have a civil discourse with other people.
	See if he wants to sign up for your course.
	He would laugh in your face.
	So she says, first of all, And this is good advice for how we get along with each other.
	She said, talk to God first.
	Seek to understand and not to win.
	Wait a minute, wait a minute.
	Isn't it winning is the only thing?
	Crowd, the MAGA people, win, win, win, win.
	That's all they care about is winning.
	Are they trying to understand anything?
	Are they trying to have an easing of tensions?
	A detente?
	Remember that word?
	Well, they pick a word.
	They make it the word of the day or the word of the week or the word of the administration.
	Anyway, so talk to God first.
	Secondly, seek to understand, not to win.
	Ask questions.
	And as you look at this, is MAGA asking questions?
	They're taking their cue from Trump.
	See, that's a big part of the problem, is how he has, you know, just like you've got some newly hatched bird that gets imprinted, and, you know, they're following around whoever it is.
	You know, are you my mommy?
	That type of thing.
	Well, you know, ask questions.
	Make the other person feel heard.
	See, this is a Christian.
	Do you see anything?
	We're now for...
	Do you see any of that in Donald Trump?
	Number five, find common ground.
	Has he ever done that?
	Number six, watch your tone.
	Yeah, that's the other part of it.
	You know, as Christians, we should think about, not just about truth, but we should also think about mercy.
	You know, as Proverbs says, bind truth and mercy around your neck so you'll not forget.
	And so I need to have something here as a sign.
	Remember, truth and mercy.
	I'm guilty of this as well.
	Number seven, be prepared to explain to them.
	And then eight, disengage if needed.
	Okay, so be prepared and disengage if needed.
	So, I mean, quite frankly, I'm not even interested in talking about politics.
	I'm really not.
	I'm interested in stopping people from being hurt by politicians.
	You see, even if you're not interested in politics, politics is interested in you.
	And that's the message I want to try to get across to people.
	I want to get across to them, don't blindly trust anybody.
	Don't trust them, period, if they're in politics especially.
	And, you know, understand that they've got their own agenda.
	Understand they've probably got to where they are.
	Because they're not like you.
	They really aren't.
	They don't play by the same rules.
	They don't have the same ethics or principles.
	If they have any ethics or principles, they've got one thing and one thing only.
	When?
	And what is missing from this, in my opinion, is the essence of all of this.
	This is not about having a conversation with somebody and arriving at a consensus.
	I don't.
	As a Christian, I'm not interested in arguing with somebody over tax policy, for example.
	I can talk about what the tax policy is going to be.
	I can give my opinion about it.
	But when we look at this, we have to declare truth.
	And we have to do that, first of all, about Christ.
	Where did she say that, right?
	So we have to declare the truth about Christ.
	And we also have to declare the truth about things that are going to harm people.
	Like what was happening in 2020. Like what they're trying to do with bird flu right now.
	They're going to bring it back.
	And nothing is being done about that.
	You've got one of the first things that he does, as we've all talked about, is he holds a press conference to push mRNA designs specifically for you to genetically modify you as a supposed design by artificial intelligence.
	An mRNA vaccine, a genetic code injection that's going to...
	Promise to save you from cancer, when in reality what it'll probably do is give you turbo cancer.
	So, you know, we need to expose that, because we see it.
	And we need to understand that even if we see it, some people will not see it.
	They will refuse to see it, just like they will refuse to see what the nature of Donald Trump is.
	And so...
	We proclaim these things knowing that a lot of people are not going to see them.
	A lot of people are going to close their ears, close their eyes, close their minds to this stuff and to their destruction.
	And that's true spiritually as well as in this life.
	And so we declare spiritual truth to people.
	We declare truth to them about what is going to be done, what the government is trying to do to them.
	And we understand that we don't have the ability to win these arguments.
	But we have the responsibility.
	This is the watchman principle, right?
	You see something happening, and it's not just for the watchman.
	Anybody could see it, right?
	You know, it didn't have to be your official job to be on the wall to see the enemy is coming over the hill to attack the town, and now you need to yell and tell people that he's coming.
	It could be somebody who just happens to see it.
	Not even a watchman.
	And you still have the obligation to tell people.
	Homeland Security used to say, see something, say something.
	Well, if you see something that's going to harm somebody, you should say something about it.
	And you should also understand that a lot of people are not going to hear it.
	And you have to just accept that.
	So that's why I talk about politics, because these politicians are interested in you, even if you're not interested in them.
	And even if people can't hear it, I still need to say it, because if I don't say it, then their blood is on my head.
	But if I do and they go through with it, it's like the people at J6 tried to warn them, and if they don't listen, then it's not on me, unfortunately.
	It's not to say that I don't feel sorry for them.
	I do feel sorry for them, and I'm concerned as to what was done.
	Because it was absolutely criminal what was done to them, and it could be done to any of us, for whatever arbitrary reason that the politicians have.
	So we need to warn people about that.
	So we need to warn people about what our Justice Department, so-called Justice Department, is capable of doing, just as we warn people about January the 6th.
	We're going to take a quick break and we will be right back.
	We'll be right back.
	We'll be right back.
	All right, let's talk a little bit about comments that J.D. Vance made at CPAC. He actually proclaimed the gospel at CPAC. Here's what he had to say.
	First is, I believe the fundamental tenet of the Christian faith, it's not just a set of good moral principles, though it is that.
	I think the fundamental tenet of our faith is that the Son of God became man, he died, and he raised himself from the dead.
	That is the fundamental tenet of the Christian faith, and I think so much flows from that.
	And I think one lesson that flows from that is that we shouldn't fear death.
	Of course, death is a very bad thing, but there are much more terrible things than just losing one's life, and importantly, you could lose one's soul.
	And I think whether it's fighting for the unborn or fighting for peace and security for our citizens...
	I want us to be the kind of society where my kids can grow up to be virtuous young people, can be good young Christians, of course, because that's what I'm trying to raise them to be, and that's what our public policy is trying to do.
	Creating the space where moms and dads can raise their children in their faith to become good young people who believe the things that I do.
	That is what I'm trying to create, is the space for you, of course, to raise your children as you see fit, but the space for me to raise my kids to be the kind of young people that I think they ought to be.
	And the other thing that I take from it, Mercedes, is if you look at the long history of the Christian faith, we've been around for about 2,000 years now, give or take a few years, and there have been really dark times in the history of the Christian faith.
	There have been really good times in the history of the Christian faith.
	And I just try to remind myself that we put our faith in God above.
	We put our faith in the grace of God.
	And we try the best to do His will, and we don't worry so much about whether we're going to have earthly rewards.
	We worry about whether we're doing right by God Almighty above.
	That's what I try to do, and that's how I try to run my life in public.
	I've got to say, I don't disagree with a word of that.
	I think he did an excellent job.
	He did an excellent job of distilling what the good news about Christ is.
	I imagine people are going to start creating these WWJD bracelets.
	What would Jesus do?
	I guess now we have the WWJDD. What would JD do?
	No, look, everything that he said about that in terms of society was spot on.
	What he said about the gospel was spot on.
	Now, does that align with his life?
	When I look at a lot of the things that he's done, I see hypocrisy there.
	But look, we all have hypocrisy to one degree in our life or another.
	It's not for me to judge whether he is sincere about it.
	It's for me to see his actions.
	And if he's pushing mRNA, self-replicating vaccines, I've got an issue with that.
	And I think that's inconsistent with that.
	But maybe he's got a blind spot with that.
	God is the only one who sees the heart.
	We can't see the heart.
	And there is, if we're honest about it, there's hypocrisy in each and every one of us.
	And none of us is good.
	We all need Christ as a Savior.
	Nobody's going to go to heaven on their own merit.
	Nobody's going to be approved by God on their own merit.
	And he nailed it.
	Son of God became man.
	He died, raised himself from the dead.
	That's the fundamental tenet of the Christian faith.
	I mean, basically it was quoting Paul out of 1 Corinthians 15. Christ died for our sins, he said, according to the Scriptures.
	In other words, according to Old Testament, what we call Old Testament, according to Old Testament prophecies, that he was buried and rose again on the third day.
	Again, he says, according to Scriptures.
	Things that have been around for thousands of years before the time of Christ.
	And then he goes on to say he was seen by Peter, he was then seen by the Twelve, and he was seen by over 500 people, most of whom are still alive.
	That's what Paul wrote to the Corinthians.
	And so the good news, kind of what I was saying earlier before, look, it's a proclamation.
	That's why they talk about evangelists.
	It's actually, you know, the idea is kind of a town crier, giving people some important news.
	And so you give people the important news, If they can accept that, if they will accept it, it makes a difference in their life.
	But that is really what we do.
	And so I'm glad that he did that.
	I'm cynical when I look at so many of the things that are going on at CPAC, and as I've talked about Michael Flynn trying to jump onto Christianity, and he doesn't seem to know anything about it.
	Leading people in plagiarized prayers from a theosophist.
	And these occultic prayers and things like that.
	But everything that J.D. Vance said there was spot on.
	And so, also as Paul said, he said, I know a lot of people preach the gospel out of greed or self-interest or whatever he goes, but I just rejoice that it's preached.
	So it's a good thing.
	What he said is absolutely true.
	I've got no exception to that.
	Nothing to criticize about what he said.
	Spot on, 100%.
	And he's very articulate.
	Now, I've talked and I still have a lot of concerns about his connections to Peter Thiel and these transhumanists.
	So, you know, it remains to be seen.
	We'll have to see what happens.
	And as I said before, don't trust any politician.
	But I'm glad that he said that and he laid that out.
	And especially, maybe what Trump could do is to get rid of Paul White and put him in the office of faith, except we don't need an office of faith.
	And we shouldn't have an office of faith.
	We had a lot of presidents who you could make, you could see a lot more evidence of Christ in their life than you can in Donald Trump, for sure.
	And they never put in an office of faith.
	Didn't feel it was necessary to establish a religion.
	That was there, but they followed Christian principles.
	So just follow the Christian principles.
	You don't need to put in an office of faith, and you certainly don't need to put in Paula White, who doesn't seem to know what the gospel is.
	She thinks the gospel is becoming financially prosperous.
	So pay attention to the Apostle Paul, not to the Apostolist Paula.
	As a matter of fact, part of what he was saying went on to address men.
	He said, my message to young men is don't allow this broken culture to send you a message that you're a bad person because you're a man, because you like to tell a joke, because you like to have a beer with your friends, or because you're competitive.
	According to Vance, he believes mainstream American society, quote, wants to turn everybody, whether male or female, into androgynous idiots who think the same, talk the same, and act the same.
	We actually think God made male and female for a purpose.
	Hey, tell that to Paula White next time you see her, J.D. She doesn't understand that God made men and women different, and he made them different for a purpose, and he has different purposes for men and women, and he, on purpose, said...
	for a woman not to exercise authority over a man in church.
	So, there you go.
	And she's not authorized to be in that position in her so-called church, let alone in an office of faith.
	LifeSite News then asked Dave Rubin if he's considered becoming a Christian.
	And I think it's really interesting how conservatives elevate Individuals like this.
	And again, when we look at celebrities, does it really matter what J.D. Vance believes?
	Is it valid because he said it?
	I'm glad that he said it to some people who may have more weight to them if they hear it coming from him.
	Maybe they'll think about it.
	Who knows?
	Should we obsess over Russell Brand and whether he's a Christian or Dave Rubin or this or that?
	They do that.
	It's a celebrity thing.
	And, you know, it doesn't validate anything because a celebrity says so.
	And yet, you would think that it does, the way these, so many publications look at it.
	So, this was at this conference in London.
	I talked about what Oliver Anthony said, the guy who did Richmond, North of Richmond, got a lot of money for it.
	And, very grounded.
	Just turned his back on all the entertainment industry.
	I mean, he still made money from the song, and I'm glad he did, but he was there at this conference in London.
	And what he had to say was, I thought, very insightful.
	Also seen to be a very grounded person, spiritually as well.
	But at this conference in London, LifeSite News correspondent asked Dave Rubin, who was also speaking there, About Trump, about Doge, about European politics, and if he's ever considered becoming a Christian.
	And Dave Rubin said, well, I've never considered it for myself personally.
	I'm Jewish.
	I'm born Jewish.
	My father is Jewish.
	My grandfather is Jewish.
	I have great respect for Christianity.
	Absolutely.
	What an important civilization-building block it's been for the West, he said.
	And again, this is exactly the opposite of what J.D. Vance was saying.
	And we hear this all the time.
	You know, we even hear it from people like Dawkins, Richard Dawkins, who is sad to see Christianity leaving and Islam being brought in.
	You know, he likes the cultural fruit of it, but he doesn't want the root of it, right?
	And so we have a lot of people who will say that.
	Oh, well, you know, it's a great system to build a country on, but it's not about that.
	You know, blessing is a liberty from God.
	Liberty is a blessing from God.
	And that's what the founders all said.
	They understood that even though they did everything they could, even though they put their lives on the line and fought the American Revolution, they saw it as a blessing from God.
	Not something that they got for themselves, but Rubin doesn't see it that way.
	He said, we can choose our fate.
	And from an American perspective, we seem to have chosen freedom, capitalism, free markets, and with a little transparency.
	He said, the question for Europe now is, will they do the same?
	Well, that's not the issue, really.
	As J.D. Vance said, more importantly, we need to think about not just this life, but what happens to our soul eternally.
	But we've had Paula White come out and say, well, we should not talk to Jewish people about Jesus.
	Well, if that's the case, then you obviously, Paula, don't believe Christ.
	You don't believe that he died for his sins.
	You don't believe that he is the way and the only way to God.
	So, again, it was refreshing to hear the truth from J.D. Vance.
	Anyway, Dave Rubin said he largely subscribes to Jordan Peterson's version of religion, which is that if you tell the truth for truth's sake, that the best possible outcome will happen.
	Is that what it's about?
	Again, Jordan Peterson People started thinking, maybe he's having an awakening because he's talking a little bit about Jesus.
	No, he was interested in it from a cultural, from a civilizational type of perspective, looking at it as a psychologist and as somebody who follows Carl Jung.
	Carl Jung always interjected some spirituality and mysticism into the things that he was doing.
	And seems to be, unfortunately, where Jordan Peterson is coming from.
	Rubin said that if countries of the West choose to follow the path that Trump has blazed for the United States, the future is bright for the world.
	So, again, he will tell you that Trump is his savior.
	But as LifeSite News points out, Rubin and his husband, he's homosexual, each chose to have a child through surrogacy in 2022. Rubin was only highlighting what President Trump has put into practice as policy since leaving the White House in 2021. Trump has hosted same-sex weddings at Mar-a-Lago,
	and he's championed IVF. Last fall, Bishop Joseph Strickland condemned Rubin's purchasing of children via surrogacy after Rubin had discussed the matter in a podcast with Jordan Peterson.
	Strickland said, these children are God's children.
	They're not a project.
	They're not a commodity to be acquired.
	So, Reuben finishes with all this stuff.
	He says, I hope Doge will lead to an era of radical transparency.
	Well, we'll talk about that when we come back.
	We're going to take a look at some of the things that is happening with Doge.
	Falling, thank you for the tip.
	He says, I said earlier, Euphrates is dry.
	Kings of the East are invading.
	Trump once tweeted, my blood is the vaccine.
	I don't recall that, but...
	Anyway, he says, it was designed not by Pfizer or Moderna or J&J, but by the Department of Defense.
	Yes, that absolutely is true.
	Now, I don't remember that.
	That is an interesting quote.
	He said a lot of crazy stuff.
	A lot of crazy stuff.
	And a lot of really creepy stuff, too.
	That's what I'm saying.
	You know, you look at this.
	Anyway, eugenicides, eugeniotis, I guess.
	I don't know how to pronounce that.
	Thank you for the tip.
	And he says, thank you for, or she says, thank you for opening my eyes, David.
	Well, I appreciate that.
	I'm sorry I can't pronounce your handle there.
	S-Flow0818, pray for our leaders.
	Yes.
	And we should pray, you know, and it's an encouraging sign to see that somebody actually, Accurately states the gospel there and accurately talks about the need for our families to get this stuff together.
	And the role of government, he sees that accurately as well.
	I mean, based on what he said there, 100%.
	Now, the question is, will he act that way?
	Well, we can pray that he would.
	But I think one of the key things to do when we pray is to pray for the salvation of our leaders, because if they are looking at it, if that is sincere, and he's looking at it that way, he will understand that the role of government is to create a space for you to create your family, to create your life, to live freely, and that type of thing.
	And that is all that the government is there for.
	And that's why we have the things like the Bill of Rights and other stuff that his boss...
	Completely ignores.
	We're going to take a quick break, and we'll be right back.
	ORCHESTRA PLAYS
	In a world of deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.
	You're listening to The David Knight Show.
	And Angry Tiger says, this is the danger of mixing politics and religion.
	When someone in politics is the same religion as you, you think that everything they do and say is okay.
	The garbage-eating politicians know that if they mention religion that they will garner trust from people of the same religion.
	Well, I absolutely agree with that.
	And that's why I was trying to say, That what he said is 100% right.
	We don't know what he's going to do about it.
	And as I said before, and I'll say again, never trust a politician.
	Look at what they do, not at what they say.
	But what he had to say was good.
	And I'm glad that he had...
	Had it to say.
	And I've seen, and as I said, I'm very cynical with this stuff because I've seen the way Charlie Kirk and I've seen the way Michael Flynn operate.
	You know, Charlie Kirk will quote the Bible back and forth, and then he'll have, he'll feature homosexual activists like, what's that guy's name?
	He's a white guy with long hair.
	He also had a young black guy a couple of years ago that was...
	And they were challenged on that, and he, Charlie Kirk, you know, doubled down on, yeah, this guy is a real Christian, he's a conservative, so shut up, that type of stuff.
	And Presley, I think, was the guy's name.
	I don't know, Matt Trujillo was talking about the amount of money that he was given and how he presented that.
	And so I've seen a lot of cynical, very thin veneer of Christianity that's very cynical.
	But somebody can say the right thing, and J.D. Vance is very smart, and he can say all of that, and maybe he believes it, maybe he doesn't believe it.
	But that's why I quoted Paul when he said, some people will preach the gospel.
	Out of greed, out of loss for power or whatever.
	But he goes, I just rejoice that it's preached, and that's the way I feel about that.
	I don't know what his motivations are.
	God will judge that.
	But we will judge them by their actions.
	But I'm glad that he had to say.
	Now, meanwhile, still on J.D. Vance, criticizing European censorship, he calls for free speech as bases for U.S.-Europe alliances at CPAC again.
	And yet look at the hypocrisy within the Trump administration.
	Look at how, on the orders of a foreign government, they will shut you down from criticizing that foreign government.
	Make it a crime.
	Not just a fine.
	Put you in jail.
	And we've got Republicans doing this left and right for the state of Israel.
	And then you have other issues that are hypocritical here in the United States.
	So again, J.D. Vance, on this issue again, is saying precisely the right thing.
	And yet his boss...
	They're saying that we've got to shut down the license to CBS because they criticize me.
	And I want to file a $40 billion lawsuit against CBS, bankrupt them.
	I want to use the FCC to shut them down.
	I want to weaponize the government against these people with the FCC. All because of one interview that he didn't like of his opponent.
	Even after Trump won the election, he's still got to do all this.
	Where's his damages in all this?
	And so, that's why I say, when you look at...
	What is said?
	The censorship that Republicans are pushing on behalf of the state of Israel, the attacks on any of their media critics, which is not just Trump, it's also Kash Patel is talking about it.
	And J.D. Vance goes to Europe and he talks about their embracing censorship.
	And they do.
	And it's horrible what they're doing.
	He says, we're going to continue to have important alliances with Europe, but I really do think...
	The strength of those alliances is going to depend on whether we take our societies in the right direction.
	You have to allow free speech to debate this stuff.
	You have to stop doing things to the population of the world, and you've got to give the populations of the world the opportunity to speak up and say, no more of this BS. He said, Germany's entire defense is subsidized by the American taxpayer.
	Do you think the American taxpayer is going to stand for it if you get thrown in jail in Germany for posting a mean tweet?
	Well, of course they're not.
	And so I would just say that we should not have an alliance with countries that are doing this kind of stuff.
	And you should not have an alliance with an administration, the Trump administration, that is doing this kind of stuff while they publicly say, we don't want to have any censorship.
	Shame on Germany for doing this.
	And then they do the same thing.
	The same thing.
	And they're talking about putting people in jail for criticizing the German government in Germany.
	We're talking about putting people in jail for criticizing the Israeli government in America.
	Talk about hypocrisy.
	And of course, in Germany, it's not just a mean tweet.
	There's a case of the homeschooling family that is not too far from where we live here in Tennessee.
	That Biden was trying to deport.
	They came here as refugees because the German government was going to take away their kids and put them in jail because they were Christians and they wanted to homeschool their kids.
	And homeschooling is not allowed in Germany, so they came here as refugees.
	Then the Biden administration got very interested in trying to deport them after they'd been here for 11 years.
	They've not been on welfare.
	The father is supporting himself and his large family by working.
	Not a burden on anybody.
	But the Biden administration was the enemy, the avowed open enemy of any and all Christians and any exercising of the Christian faith.
	It's just that simple.
	So, J.D. Vance goes on to say, you do not have shared values if you're gelling people for saying we should close down our border.
	You don't have shared values if you cancel elections because you don't like the result.
	Which they said they would do if they didn't like the results of the German election.
	But the party of Angela Merkel won, so I guess that election is going to stand.
	AFD, the alternative for Deutschland, came in second place.
	So I guess they can let the election stand.
	He says, you do not have shared values if you're so afraid of your own people that you silence them and shut them up.
	But again, Republicans are doing that left and right for the state of Israel.
	What kind of a government demands censorship and buys politicians in our country?
	That's what I have against them.
	Let's have shared values, he said.
	Let's defend democracy.
	Let's have free expression.
	Not just in the United States, but all over the Western world.
	That is the path to strong alliances in Europe, he had to say.
	Well, as we see, and I talked about this over a week ago.
	It came out.
	That Apple had been threatened by the UK government to open back doors to encrypted messages or they would shut them down.
	And it also was revealed that Apple was told that they could get fines and actually go to jail if they even mentioned what was being demanded by the UK government.
	That's the kind of tyranny that is now becoming the hallmark of former Western civilization countries.
	Western civilization has been completely thrown out.
	The ideals of free speech and rule of law and all the rest of this stuff.
	They're thuggish, dystopian dictators.
	A lot of them.
	And that includes our own government.
	So the whole mess started when the British government, wielding a notoriously invasive So just get rid of it.
	We're not going to let you have that.
	And again, if the British government gets it...
	They now, with five eyes, will hand it to the American government.
	That's the way this all operates.
	This is an attempt to strong-arm one of the world's most powerful tech companies into submission, setting a precedent that would crack open user privacy like an egg.
	Rather than comply, though, Apple responded with a very diplomatic version of hell no.
	Instead of weakening encryption for everyone, the company opted to remove ADP from the UK entirely.
	The practically oozed frustration, Apple declared, we are gravely disappointed that the protections offered by Advanced Data Protection will not be available to our customers in the United Kingdom given the continuing rise of data breaches and other threats to customer privacy.
	Well, there you go.
	So they basically said their approach was you can You can threaten to jail us and fine us.
	We will just remove encryption protection for people in the UK and we'll tell them that you are demanding that we do this.
	We're going to leave it in there for everybody else, which is about the best outcome that we could have had out of this.
	Pro-censorship Brazilian justice judge has ordered nationwide ban on Rumble.
	You see?
	It never ends.
	The U.S. is going to come after TikTok.
	Brazil will come after Rumble.
	These are the issues.
	The principle is the same.
	It's just where these politicians are.
	And so, if you want to support a ban on TikTok, well, you're fundamentally supporting a ban on Rumble, because it'll be Democrats that'll ban Rumble at some point in the future as well.
	A key issue in the dispute is Rumble's failure to remove an account of a Brazilian fugitive who's residing in the U.S. since 2020. His name is Dos Santos, a vocal supporter of former President Jair Bolsonaro.
	Every time I talk about that, the encryption program says bows and arrows.
	Am I not clear enough?
	It'll always say bows and arrows.
	Bolsonaro has been the subject of legal actions in Brazil.
	I determine the—well, Bolsonaro has as well, but so has this guy, Dos Santos, defending him.
	And the ruling from the judge said, I determine the immediate, complete, and total suspension of operations of rumble in national territory until all court orders issued in these proceedings, including the payment of fines, are complied with— And a legal or natural person is designated in court as a representative in national territory.
	See, this is one thing from Western civilization that we could do away with, this judicial supremacy stuff.
	The idea that one judge anywhere can do something for the entire nation.
	This is a disease that they have in Brazil.
	It's one that we suffer with, unfortunately, here in America as well.
	Judges should be...
	Not setting policy.
	Should not be acting as a national dictator.
	They should just be ruling on disputes in court.
	Federal court would be ruling on disputes between the states and the federal government, that type of thing.
	But not on these types of things.
	We see it all the time here in the U.S. as well.
	So, Rumble denounced the suspension, and Chris Pavlovsky, CEO there, I think, said, we're in receipt of another illegal and secret order from last night, which demands us to comply by tomorrow night, and that was Thursday.
	He said, you have no authority on rumble here in the United States unless you go through the U.S. government.
	I repeat, see you in court!
	Court's going to be busy.
	They're going to decide about Trump's executive orders, about Brazilian judges' orders.
	As if you were an executive.
	Geesebusters, thank you so much.
	I appreciate that.
	Thank you very much.
	Yeah, we're going to talk about what's going on with this deja flu, the bird stuff as well.
	We'll get some updates, unfortunately, on that.
	Keeps coming.
	Keeps being pushed by the mockingbird press.
	They're pushing the...
	Deja flu, bird flu.
	So this judge demanded that Rumble remove specific content and to halt financial transactions related to individuals exercising their free speech rights under U.S. law, said Rumble.
	So, at the same time, we've got the CIA now flying these surveillance drones over the border of Mexico.
	And the Mexican president was very articulate in her response.
	I didn't put it in as a video because it's really, you know, I'd have to read all of it to you.
	It's all in Mexican, obviously, Spanish.
	So I'd have to read all the subtitles to you.
	But just to distill it, what she's saying is, yes, we will cooperate with you, but we're not going to be subject to you, that type of thing.
	And so Brian Shulhavi at Vaccine Impact says how the CIA funds most of the illegal drug trafficking around the world, including the Mexican cartels.
	Always has.
	Always has been.
	The war of drugs and drugs conducted on Americans has always been what the CIA has done.
	They have pushed drugs and pornography.
	They have pushed the eradication of even beauty and art and architecture.
	What a cesspool of demonic activity the American government is.
	And the CIA is the eye of it all.
	And so this is just another reminder.
	They're putting the MQ-9 Reaper drones, they're flying them over Mexico to spy on the drug cartels.
	And Trump, to show that he's a tough guy, Most likely, is going to war with these cartels.
	And look, this is the problem.
	You start out with alcohol prohibition, and what do you wind up with?
	Before long, you've got the different gangs of Al Capone, these other ones, shooting each other in the streets with fully automatic weapons.
	The difference is that that only went for less than a decade.
	This has been going on for over 50 years, and the corruption and the crime that it has spawned, and now these organizations are not simply just about drugs.
	They're also about child trafficking and prostitution and so many other profit centers that they've got.
	And so the answer...
	ultimately, Would be to stop the UN's war on drugs.
	It was Richard Nixon who did it, but he actually used the different schedules that the UN had come up with.
	The UN basically created it along with the schedules, you know, Schedule 1, 2, 3, 4 drugs.
	It was all created by the UN. They gave it to Richard Nixon, and he started doing it.
	And then the CIA started running drugs.
	And so the State Department...
	It has designated eight major Latin American drug traffickers as global terrorist organizations.
	They've gotten to the point now where I think you're going to have to do something to combat them other than just stopping prohibition.
	For the longest time, I said, you want to stop the drug war?
	Easy.
	You know, stop the CIA. And we're the ones who are doing all this stuff.
	But now these things have taken on a life of their own.
	They're even bigger than that.
	Nevertheless, I never forget that this stuff came from the CIA. Anyone, says Brian, anyone with even a cursory knowledge of the activities knows that the CIA has been more of an ally rather than an enemy to the drug pushers bringing violence and death to American communities.
	And then he goes through a few of these.
	Of course, there's Gary Webb who exposed the creation of crack cocaine and how they funded their secret wars with drugs.
	Part of the way that they did that.
	The Iran-Contra stuff, which is a small part of their drug-smuggling empire.
	He says, lawyer and banker, OSS and CIA officer Paul Hallowell has been called the pioneer of the CIA drug dealing going back to 1962. He created the Castle Bank and Trust Offshore in the Bahamas to support CIA operations against Castro's Cuba.
	Before that, he ran Overseas Supply, a CIA front company smuggling Burmese opium.
	To finance a dirty war against China.
	The Bahamian scandal blew up in 1973 during a tax evasion probe by the IRS, with Richard Nixon attempting to clip the CIA's wings by creating the DEA. That's very similar, really, to what Truman did.
	Truman said the FBI under J. Edgar Hoover is trending toward a Gestapo, so he created the NSA. That's kind of what Trump is doing with the taxes.
	You know, the income tax is really bad.
	I don't like the way the IRS is acting.
	So we're going to create a new department of external revenue.
	So you wind up with internal and external revenue.
	You wind up with the corrupt FBI and the corrupt NSA. You wind up with the corrupt CIA smuggling drugs and the corrupt DEA. That is also part of it.
	This thing just is like...
	You know, a Hydra.
	Hail Hydra.
	You cut off one head and two spring back in its place.
	It seems like it literally is that.
	So Nixon was also concerned about the JFK assassination, so he's trying to clip the CIA's wings, they said, but that didn't work that way.
	And so when we look at the connections with the CIA and drugs going back even to the Vietnam War, and more than that, It's the CIA's obsession with destroying our society.
	It really is demonic.
	I mean, they're involved in the occult and mind control and all of this.
	And we've had numerous people.
	A lot of bullet points in his article here.
	Here's another one.
	2017, Juan Pablo Escobar, son of the infamous founder of the Medellin cartel.
	Confirmed that his dad worked for the CIA, alleged that drugs are being trafficked by SEAL and others directly to a U.S. military base in Florida.
	Matter of fact, I knew my brother-in-law is older than I am when I was in high school.
	First time I ever heard anybody talk about how the DEA thing was fraudulent and how the war on drugs was fraudulent.
	And from the very inception, I mean, it's right after this war on drugs got started.
	And he said, yeah, I know this guy.
	He's in law enforcement here locally.
	And he's telling me that the biggest dealers in drugs are the American government.
	I was like, what?
	What?
	Really?
	Oh, wow.
	It's been an interesting few years since as we look at all of this stuff.
	But I'll just play for you again what I played last week because it is very, very important when you hear John Kiriakou.
	Talking about how the CIA needs to be abolished.
	It's not just the war on drugs.
	It's the coups.
	It's the wars.
	It's a disastrous foreign policy in everything that they do.
	Unfortunately, as bad as their foreign policy has been, the people that they create coups for and overthrow governments for, as bad as that has been, they've been phenomenally successful in running a war of drugs.
	And sex and porn and all the rest of the stuff against us.
	There's so much redundancy in intelligence.
	The Pentagon has an organization called Defense Humant Services.
	Humant meaning...
	Human intelligence.
	They recruit spies to steal secrets.
	Well, guess what?
	That's exactly what the CIA does.
	So you've got DOD doing the same thing.
	You've got the State Department's Bureau of Intelligence and Research and the Defense Department's Defense Intelligence Agency doing analysis.
	Exactly what the CIA's Directorate of Intelligence does.
	You have NSA that's doing all of the intercepts.
	You've got DARPA that's doing all the futuristic, cool, scientific inventions.
	You have myriad organizations that are doing simpler things.
	Things like bugs or disguises or forgeries or, you know, any of the stuff that a CIA officer needs to do on a day-to-day basis.
	So when you've got multiple organizations all doing exactly the same thing, isn't that kind of a waste of money and manpower?
	And secondly, the CIA has gotten literally every major global development wrong since 1947. From the creation of the Berlin Wall, through the Suez Crisis, through the Vietnam War, the fall All of the Iranian government and the loss of the Shah of Iran, Iran-Contra, and missing 9-11, and everything in between, they just got it wrong.
	So why would we even want to keep going?
	This gigantic, multi-billion dollar organization that doesn't really provide anything to the national security.
	I worked for Ambassador John Negroponte when I was at the United Nations in New York more than 20 years ago.
	He later went on to become the Director of National Security.
	And as the ambassador to the UN, he was in a quasi-cabinet level position.
	And so he was allowed to receive a PDB briefing every day.
	And he once told me, not one single time did the president's daily brief tell him something that the Washington Post and the New York Times didn't tell him an hour earlier.
	Do we really need it?
	Okay, yes.
	As I said before, he said, oh, we just have all these agencies that are redundant.
	And, of course, we see that one of the reasons that we've got redundant agencies is because the president, you know, Nixon is afraid of the CIA and Truman is afraid of the FBI. And so they create these redundant agencies and they take on a life of their own.
	And they even come after each other.
	But it doesn't mean that they aren't going to come after us as well.
	Both of them coming after us.
	We're going to take a quick break and we will be...
	Right back.
	Thank you.
	Decoding the mainstream propaganda.
	It's the David Knight Show.
	Good evening.
	Tonight's tale is a story of paranoia and a most unexpected perpetrator, the common cow.
	Or, more specifically, what comes out the other end.
	Yes, the air is thick with intrigue, as it seems that in our modern age of propaganda...
	Even a humble bovine's backside can be branded a national security threat.
	The menace is invisible, silent, yet deadly.
	Carefully contrive to panic the masses into accepting the government stepping in, jackboots and all, with their solutions.
	Because who better to stop a gaseous threat than a bunch of political windbags?
	But one must wonder, is this truly about saving the planet, or are we simply being led to pasture?
	Is it merely a MacGuffin?
	The David Knight show serves as a breath of fresh air for those who still believe that truth can stand up to scrutiny.
	And he's found that the government narrative smells suspiciously like a load of bull.
	So if you want to help others catch wind of the BS being shoveled out of Washington, please consider supporting the show.
	And now back to our regularly scheduled program.
	The David Knight Show.
	I always cut that off too early.
	Well, we're back.
	And I want to talk a little bit about Doge.
	We talk about redundancy.
	We're talking about a waste of money.
	Elon Musk.
	It says that federal workers must detail what they got done or risk losing their jobs.
	And as I said at the beginning of the program, is everything that this guy does focused on movies, science fiction movies, comedy movies, or video games?
	And of course, his taste in video games runs to video games like Diablo, where you've got God and Satan fighting each other.
	Yeah, it definitely is into that stuff.
	Well, he sent out an email to federal workers to give them until today to outline their accomplishments.
	And as I said before, this is very much like...
	Office space where they go in and they bring people in one at a time and ask them, you know, what do you do in your job?
	What you do in Initech is you take the specifications from the customers and you bring them down to the software engineers.
	Yes, yes, that's right.
	Well, then I just have to ask, why couldn't the customers just take them directly to the software people, huh?
	Well, I'll tell you why.
	Because engineers are not good at dealing with customers.
	So, you physically take the specs from the customer?
	Well...
	No, my secretary does that, or the fax.
	So then you must physically bring them to the software people?
	Well...
	No.
	I mean, sometimes.
	What would you say you do here?
	Well, look, I already told you.
	I deal with the customers so the engineers don't have to.
	I have people skills.
	I am good at dealing with people.
	Can't you understand that?
	What the hell is wrong with you people?
	Yeah, he just explained to them and demonstrated how good he is with people.
	So, you know, what about Doge, right?
	Is it real?
	Is it public relations?
	What is it?
	And is it something that he just kind of picked up off of office space?
	You know, what is his mission?
	Well, as I said before, his mission is about maximizing government, not about maximizing governance.
	And minimizing government.
	So we can get rid of all these people, but okay.
	The Whistler is saying we're having some technical difficulties.
	You can't see any new comments or tips on Rumble.
	So just to let you know, something has happened with the screen there.
	So if you put something there, sorry if we don't acknowledge it, the comments and tips on Rumble.
	But here's the problem.
	With maximizing governance, here's a problem with AI governance, and maybe Elon Musk could address this.
	You know, when we look at his own AI, Grok, I saw this on Friday, and somebody reposted this, and he said, so look at this, and he recorded the screen, so people would believe it.
	He said, I asked Grok, Who's the biggest spreader of disinformation?
	Give me one name only.
	He said, I tried this and it worked.
	It comes back and it says Elon Musk.
	So I stopped the video and I went to Grok and I typed it in.
	Same thing.
	Who is the biggest spreader of disinformation?
	Give me one name only.
	Elon Musk.
	So why is that?
	Has his AI turned on him?
	Well, AI doesn't think.
	AI is not a person.
	What AI is doing is it's going out there and it's seeing so many people who are angry at Musk because of Doge and because of his affiliation there with Trump, on and on.
	There's so many people who are angry with, I don't know what that was about, but we're okay.
	That was Dr. Ron Paul, by the way, just jumping into our show there for a moment.
	You know, the problem, this illustrates why we don't want to have AI governance, doesn't it?
	Because it got this wrong about Elon Musk, its own creator, owner, because it's going out there and looking at how many times it sees this.
	It's not validating whether or not Elon Musk is a spreader of disinformation.
	You might agree with that or whatever, but that's not...
	Whether or not you agree that he is disinformation, that's beside the point.
	The point is, is that the AI does not have a mind of its own.
	It's not turned against its master, as so many people are putting out on social media.
	Look at this.
	What it tells us is that AI is just an aggregator.
	And if it sees a whole bunch of responses about something, it doesn't evaluate whether it's true or not.
	It just goes with the mass of information that it sees.
	And so the question is, if we're going to have governance by AI, would AI do that to you and I? Yes, of course it would.
	And we've already had situations where Jonathan Turley had chat GPT. Hallucinating about him, you know, saying that he was, I don't remember what it was, maybe, I think it was a sexual harassment charge or something against a student when they went on a trip to Alaska, and he says, I've never even been to Alaska.
	This thing never happened.
	I never had any charges brought against me, no allegations.
	It just fantasized all that stuff.
	And he's not the only one.
	A lot of people have had situations like that.
	So do you really want to have AI governance?
	Do you really want to maximize?
	AI governance, because I think that's where Doge is headed.
	It is to consolidate everything under Trump, as Jason Barker pointed out, and to consolidate everything under just a few people, and then to create this illusion that artificial intelligence is so smart that it can do all of this, and we don't need people out there.
	That's a concern.
	That's a real concern.
	And so, as he says to everybody, he pulls one of these office space things.
	Get back to me.
	And he said, I want you to list at least five accomplishments over the past week by Monday at midnight or face termination to Elon Musk.
	And he got pushback.
	He got pushback from Kash Patel.
	He got pushback from Tulsi Gabbard.
	He got pushback from a lot of different organizations.
	Said, we have a chain of command here.
	They don't report to you.
	And they're absolutely right about that.
	What he basically wanted is to stay in the office space space.
	Elon Musk is kind of like that smarmy guy that shows up at the cubicle and says, Yeah, could you give me that TPR report later?
	I haven't seen that TPR report yet.
	Can you get that to me?
	The Pentagon?
	The FBI? The State Department?
	And various parts of the intelligence community have told their employees to hold off.
	Yeah, what were the five coups that you were working on this last week at the CIA, right?
	Which governments are you planning on overthrowing?
	It says, when and if required, the department will coordinate responses to the email that you have received from OPM, which is what they're calling the Office of Personnel Management, or DOGE. So at the moment, please pause any response to the OPM. Opium.
	Just put an H in front of it, because opium is what Doge is selling.
	I think it's funny that it's called opium.
	O-P-M. Office of Personnel Management.
	Opium.
	Don't respond to the opium email titled, What Did You Do Last Week?
	The State Department told its employees the State Department will respond on behalf of the department.
	No employee is obligated to report their activities outside of their department chain of command.
	National Intelligence Director Tulsi Gabbard told employees of all the agencies that she oversees in the intelligence community, given the inherently sensitive and classified nature of our work, assassinations and coups and such, right?
	I see, intelligence community, employees should not respond.
	To the opium email.
	What I did is top secret, right?
	If I told you I'd have to kill you too, because I'm working on this week's assassination list.
	The national president of the American Federation of Government Employees wrote a letter to Musk and opium.
	Start calling it that instead of Doge.
	It's so much better to call it opium.
	Acting director of opium.
	Directing its 800,000 members to defy the demand.
	So, I don't know, maybe they got multiple unions or whatever, but there's like 3 million employees.
	And this is, they only represent 800,000 of them.
	About a quarter.
	Federal employees report to their respective agencies through their established chain of command.
	They do not report to opium.
	I didn't even think about that until I read it out loud.
	I'm just looking at OPM. I didn't think about it being OPM. Musk has defended the accomplishments email, saying that it was designed to weed out non-existent people, or the identities of dead people.
	Which, by the way, we have an update to his claiming that we got a lot of people on the Social Security rolls that are 300 years old, 200, 300 years old.
	Well, actually, no.
	It's like a lot of this stuff about dead people on the voting rolls.
	And that's not to say that there's not fraud there.
	As I've said many times, when it comes to the dead people on the voting rolls that were never purged out of North Carolina, and in North Carolina, you don't have to show any ID to vote.
	Going back to 2012 election, my brother-in-law.
	By the way, that reminds me.
	i've been meaning to correct this for weeks now um going back to uh their birthday at the beginning of the month uh karen and her twin brother who does a lot of work for us in terms of uh artwork and things the screens that you see behind us and things but um anyway he has uh i gave out his uh his website wrong the website is actually keithdolmat.com uh his company Does business as flying colors, but that website was already taken.
	So I had a lot of people come back and say, that goes to some painting company or something like that.
	But actually, you can see his portfolio.
	He's got some really nice stuff.
	He used to do, and still does, a lot of hand drawn with like a Wacom tablet.
	You know, he can do electronic versions of charcoal and things like that.
	Of course, he also paints and does things, but his illustrations are...
	Or what he really does.
	So if you want to see that, you can find that at KeithDolmat.com.
	But he said, the reason this matters, says Musk, is that a significant number of people who are supposed to be working for the government are doing so little work that they're not checking their email at all.
	And we've got a lot of dead people out there.
	And to finish the story that I started going on to...
	Oh, okay, I still got it wrong.
	It's KDolmat.com.
	KDolmat.
	D-O-L-M-A-T. KDolmat.com.
	Thank you.
	Anyway, so after three tries, I think I got his website right.
	Yeah, yeah, Whistler says right.
	The reason I got into that was because one of his friends showed up to vote in the 2012 election, and all you have to do is give them a name and an address, and they have the longest voting period of any state, at least they did at that time.
	And they said, they looked up his name and said, well, you've already voted.
	He said, no, I haven't.
	And he said, yes, and this other person that your address has already voted.
	He says, well, that's my mom.
	She's been dead for years.
	They wouldn't purge the roles, and they were there, and anybody who wanted to look up somebody's name and address could still vote on it.
	So that was a real thing.
	It just wasn't as big of an issue as many people thought, but it was an open avenue for fraud and needed to be shut down.
	So anyway, Musk said, well, this email is just a, quote, very basic pulse check.
	He said they're covering up immense fraud that is there.
	Well, again, Kash Patel, on Saturday, after getting installed on Thursday or Friday, told the FBI people underneath him, he says, pause, any responses to this?
	He said, the FBI, through the Office of the Director, is in charge of all of our review processes, not opium.
	So meanwhile, though, there has been a victory for the opium.
	People and Elon Musk.
	A judge is allowing, that's the key word, allowing Trump to put thousands of USAID staff on paid leave.
	Again, whatever you think about any of this stuff, the issue, the real issue behind all this, whether they're going to be able to get this through, is judicial supremacy.
	Are they going to fight this?
	Because you're going to wind up with different, all these different judges are going to have different opinions about everything.
	And they'll all shut this down if they don't.
	But they won the first one.
	Who knows?
	Maybe the word has gone out in the judiciary that we're not going to challenge the executive branch's ability to govern the executive branch.
	Because we don't want to jump the shark here with this stuff.
	People realize how far overboard judicial supremacy has gone.
	The Trump administration...
	We'll be, therefore, eliminating 2,000 posts at USAID and putting most others on leave as of midnight last night.
	That was when that went into place.
	So the judge says you can do it.
	So they started doing it.
	And that's why I say a lot of this stuff, how much of it is really going to go through?
	Well, we have to wait and see.
	Meanwhile, they said more USAID fraud.
	Billions of U.S. tax dollars are missing from Haitian relief projects.
	This is old news.
	We've talked about this ever since it happened.
	And the Clinton Foundation was at the center of all this stuff.
	And guess what else is missing?
	It's not just billions of dollars of tax money.
	It's missing children as well.
	Since 2010, an earthquake in Haiti killed as many as 300,000 people.
	The U.S. government then dispersed $4.5 billion in foreign assistance.
	At least $1.5 billion was dispersed for immediate humanitarian aid, while another $3 billion went to recovery, reconstruction, and development.
	Of the at least $2 billion in contracts and grants for Haiti-related work, though, less than $50 million, only 2%, went to Haitian organizations or firms.
	$1.3 billion, or 56%, has gone to firms located in or near the U.S. Capitol.
	Look, it's probably 98% of this went to corrupt U.S. officials and corrupt Haitian officials.
	That's what happens to foreign aid, especially when the CIA is involved, and USAID is CIA. And this has always been the case.
	But as I said before, the big issue is the fact that USAID funds Lock her up, Trump said.
	No, he gave her a pass.
	Why would he do that?
	Well, I think we know.
	You'll see pictures of all of them with Jeffrey Epstein, won't you?
	The FDA is beginning to rescind the firings.
	This is why I said, who knows what is really going to happen with this.
	We have big headlines.
	Look at all the people that...
	Musk and Opium have fired, and then we see that they're clawing them back.
	Some employees are being called back to work at the FDA. Bloomberg has a story.
	The FDA, late Friday, started reversing termination notices for some employees that were laid off, informing workers to return to work after mass firings a week ago.
	The employees, who are considered to be probationary, and this is the key thing, most of the...
	Most of the people who have been fired, almost all of them, were probationary workers.
	These are people who have recently been hired.
	And when you look at the 6,000 people in the IRS, almost all of them were recently hired.
	Why were they recently hired?
	Well, because of the $80 billion that was given to them by Democrats and Republicans like Mike Johnson, who gave Biden every penny that he demanded.
	Didn't even negotiate with him.
	Mike Johnson is worse than Kevin McCarthy in terms of that issue.
	So the employees who are considered to be probationary started receiving calls Friday evening and Saturday morning from the FDA's Human Resources Department.
	It's unclear how many terminations will be reversed.
	Some FDA employees are required to return to the office starting Monday.
	The FDA and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services did not immediately respond to requests for comment from Bloomberg about this.
	How many employees is there?
	Like I said, it's like, you know, 300 over here, 400 over there, 6,000 at the IRS, and so forth.
	But there's 220,000 that are probationary employees.
	And you can just say, well, okay, you're just...
	So we're going to end it immediately.
	They can't necessarily do that to all of them without lawsuits and contracts and other things like that.
	The callbacks come after thousands of federal employees are terminated from their jobs in response to Trump's executive order.
	The FDA's termination notices targeted workers under probationary periods of the employee was not fit for continued employment because their, quote, ability, knowledge, and skills do not fit the agency's current needs.
	But will that stand?
	I said about 6,000 employees.
	Actually, IRS is 6,700 employees.
	And they are probationary.
	New hires.
	6,700 newly hired people put in by the Biden administration.
	Whistler says, if people on Rumble still want to leave comments or tips, you can still do so on Rockfin.
	That's what he wanted everybody to know.
	Because they're having problems with being able to see them on Rumble.
	How many federal government workers has Trump fired so far?
	Asks Zero Hedge.
	Is it thousands?
	Is it tens of thousands?
	Is it hundreds of thousands?
	Well, there's three million employees.
	And so what they did was they, civilian employees, that's not including military and so forth.
	So they talk about the probationary employees, that's 220,000.
	And then IRS, another 6,700.
	Department of Homeland Security and TSA. Only 400. The FAA has fired 400. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau that Elizabeth Warren was so upset about, and we should be shutting this thing down completely, they've only fired 100 employees.
	The Department of Education, 4,400 employees.
	Department of Energy, 2,000.
	Department of HHS, 700. Department of Land Management, the Bureau of Land Management, the National Park, 2,300 employees.
	EPA, 500. Small Business Association, 720. U.S. Forestry Service, 3,400.
	So when you look through all of this stuff, what you wind up with is only about 8%.
	And we don't know if those are going to be If that's going to stick or not.
	So all of this stuff about doge is really, or opium, is really opium for the most part.
	Because we don't even know if these people are going to be called back.
	We start seeing some of these things are being called back.
	Some judges are probably going to shut this thing down.
	There'll be legal challenges and all the rest of it.
	Then on to the Social Security thing.
	The Social Security chief, who has been appointed by Trump, is Trump's Social Security guy.
	Interim.
	He's the acting Social Security Administration Commissioner.
	Lee Dudek says that the millions of dead people on record are not necessarily receiving benefits.
	So this is a new guy, and he said the concerns that Musk has put out there are not necessarily what we're seeing.
	Musk put this stuff out and said, oh, so we really, twilight is real, and we're actually paying vampires.
	So, Trump repeated all that.
	He said at a Florida press briefing on February the 18th that Doge's findings suggest millions and millions of centenarians, people over 100 years old, are receiving benefits improperly.
	This is obviously fraudulent or incompetent.
	If you take all those millions of people off of Social Security, all of a sudden we have a very powerful Social Security with people that are 80, 70, and 90, but not 200 years old, said the president.
	So, there we go.
	Now, we don't have any solvency issues with Social Security now?
	Well, the person that Trump has put in there, as the acting Social Security Administrator Commissioner said, Dudek says he wants to, quote, acknowledge recent reporting about the number of people older than 100 who have been receiving benefits from Social Security.
	These individuals are not necessarily receiving benefits.
	He said, I'm confident that we'll be able to sort through this, but a March 2015 report and a July 2023 follow-up report, we've seen this before, so this is going back 10 years and two years ago.
	Both of these reports found that Social Security had not updated its system to properly annotate death information for approximately 18.9 million people born in 1920 or earlier who were not officially marked as deceased.
	These reports also stated that almost none of these individuals were actively receiving benefits.
	So as all of this is happening, you've got Rand Paul puts this out.
	He says, speaking of which, buried in the foreign aid reports last year, I discovered something.
	We give foreign aid to China.
	So government is so dumb that it is literally borrowing money from China to give it back to China while paying interest on it.
	Well, you know, the only thing dumber than that is what we're doing with the Paris Climate Accord.
	Which they don't want to talk about.
	Which is that we voluntarily commit industrial suicide by shutting down our cheap and available energy and giving them an advantage on that to go along with the advantage that China has always had in the China price of slave labor, currency manipulation, and intellectual property theft they now have given to them on a silver platter with a Paris Climate Accord that we're not in.
	That Trump continues to pretend that we're in after doing so for the entire four years of his first administration.
	Now they are allowed to build as many and as dirty a power plants as they wish and have the cheapest energy on earth by several different factors.
	That's going to become an even bigger factor when everybody starts moving from human slave labor to robotics slave labor.
	They will still have that advantage.
	In addition, To all of the vertical integration, in addition to what they have done to position themselves to have rare earth minerals and lithium and to be the cheapest provider of solar panels, but especially lithium batteries.
	So, cheaper in terms of the energy that is needed for any kind of manufacturing, and manufacturing is getting even more energy intensive.
	They have that advantage, and they can make cheaper lithium batteries, and the lithium batteries go into everything.
	We just had Mark Andreessen.
	I don't have the clip here, but he was explaining to somebody who was interviewing him, and again, Mark Andreessen is one of these Silicon Valley billionaires.
	He made a lot of money off of Netscape, first browser, really, I guess.
	First popular browser, I'll put it that way.
	I'm sure that somebody else was first.
	But anyway, Mark Andreessen is now a venture capitalist.
	And he said, the problem that we've got is that in drones and phones and electric vehicles, China has got an insurmountable lead.
	And he said, it's not only that, but that they're vertically integrated.
	He said, in Germany, the car companies there, the old school...
	Mechanical car companies.
	He said they're all vertically integrated.
	And he goes, but they don't have anything like that when it comes to making electric cars.
	So what do we do?
	In the U.S. and in Europe, we mandate that everybody get what we have given a monopoly, essentially, to China to produce.
	And he said it's even worse.
	He said all of the drones, he said 90% of the U.S. military's drones are being purchased from China.
	At the same time, we're being told that China is our enemy.
	And, yeah, they are.
	They're a competitor as well as a potential belligerent against us.
	And we've got 90% of our drones are coming from them.
	And he said that he had a company, one of the companies that he's a venture capital investor in, was manufacturing drones.
	He said the problem is that the Chinese don't want any competition.
	And so they would block the lithium batteries from our company.
	And he goes, and of course all the lithium batteries are coming from China as well.
	Why is all this stuff happening?
	At the center of all of this, and it was handed to them on a silver platter by the globalists, by people like Henry Kissinger, who was like the top of the Bilderberg group and the top of the globalist group, they decided that they're going to open up to China, that they're going to let China have The access to all this in exchange for doing everything that the globalists wanted.
	Even the one-child policy enforced abortions and sterilization.
	And so let's try a depopulation agenda.
	Let's try it with China.
	We'll bribe the leaders.
	It all worked great.
	They've transferred all of this technology to them.
	They've got a lock on all of this stuff.
	So FDA, Pfizer, and Moderna.
	This is a message to Doge.
	Or to OPM. Hey, you want to see some fraud?
	Why don't you go back and take a look at what happened with COVID? Well, you know that Musk isn't going to do that because we would see Trump at the very center of it.
	This is a petition, though, that was filed by an Australian lawyer, Julian Gillespie and others, to the FDA in January, alleging that the FDA's actions were fraudulent and resulted in Pfizer and Moderna receiving at least $16 billion in improper payments for the COVID injections.
	So the FDA is making money, the people inside the FDA, the people inside the CDC, big vaccine sellers.
	You've got people like Fauci who are getting royalties on all this stuff that was actually created by the Department of Defense and other things like that.
	But $16 billion.
	Are you interested in that fraud?
	And who was it?
	What is the fraud?
	Well, the fraud is the fact that they authorized this stuff without doing any testing.
	The FDA allowed Pfizer and Moderna to bypass the usual approval process for gene therapies.
	They skipped all the testing.
	Who was it that was bragging about that?
	Trump, of course, for years.
	They did it so fast, I told them you've got to go faster.
	And remember at the time, we knew this at the time.
	FDA Director Hahn said, you know, and it's widely reported, had to approve it by today or send in your resignation letter.
	What was the one thing that I want you to do this week?
	Well, you either do that or you're fired.
	So they skipped all the testing.
	Wasn't that a great thing to do?
	The fraudulent approval process enabled Pfizer and Moderna to receive multi-billion dollar purchase contracts.
	Look, there's a lot more than $16 billion worth of fraud in what happened there.
	And the kickback involved in all that.
	You want to talk about USAID? Yeah, absolutely.
	It's a can of worms, and it needs to be shut down.
	And you talk about the Clinton Foundation and the rest of the stuff, then while you're at it, take a look at Trump and Big Pharma and the COVID stuff that happened in 2020. Trump personally demanded and threatened what they are now pointing out was fraud.
	Fraud to the benefit of Pfizer.
	And just remember, just last week, we had at Mar-a-Lago, I think it was at Mar-a-Lago, somewhere where he was speaking as a dinner.
	Maybe it wasn't Mar-a-Lago.
	But he's there with all of his supporters, Trump is, and he acknowledges Albert Borla, great Albert Borla, and the crowd starts booing and he kind of like, and laughs it off.
	He doesn't care.
	He doesn't care.
	He's the honey badger of...
	Conservative politics.
	So we look at these, you know, what is coming next?
	And who are the people that are coming in?
	Well, there was an interesting article on Wall Street Journal kind of portraying this guy, Isaacman, who is the pick for the new head of NASA. And look at this picture that they put on the cover here.
	Boy, it looks like Buzz Lightyear.
	That's the new SpaceX space suit.
	And makes him look really good.
	And they talk about how he is a big risk taker.
	This is a guy who has a deep relationship with Elon Musk there at NASA. And that was part of what they were talking about in a Wall Street Journal.
	They said, well, Musk wants the priority to not be the moon, but to be Mars and so forth.
	And then there's all the issues about the satellite, the space station that Musk wants taken down.
	So he's got his guy there.
	At NASA, Isaacson.
	And this is a guy who is a billionaire in his own right and always wanted to be an astronaut.
	And then he became one by buying a ride on SpaceX and being the guy to test out their new space suit and do a space walk.
	And so they're portraying him as a real risk-taker.
	And then further down the article, you see this picture of the risk-taker Isaacson.
	Oh, look at this.
	That's his company there, Shift4Payments.
	So, same kind of stuff, you know, coming through with some kind of a payment processor, like Elon Musk did, make a lot of money as a money changer.
	And so there he is, Shift Payments, and he's got a mask on his face.
	This fearless astronaut has one of these stupid N95 masks on his face.
	And so do the two people that are there on the podium with him.
	And they're spaced apart.
	This is when they got listed on the New York Stock Exchange, and Whistler says, I hope his spacesuit works better than his N95 mask.
	Well, we would know if it did.
	If it didn't, he would have imploded there, exploded, whatever.
	They imploded.
	It would be the right way.
	But anyway, there's that fearless guy wearing his N95 mask.
	And then they also have in the same article, as they're talking about how fearless this guy is, maybe the cognitive dissonance was lost on the Wall Street Journal, or maybe not.
	Maybe it was sarcasm.
	They show a picture of Musk.
	And here he is, and there to his left is Isaacson, so Isaacman, Isaacman, and some other people.
	And Elon Musk is standing there with his legs apart and his arms folded as a big tough guy, but he's got his N95 mask on.
	Yeah, that's what it is.
	Eli Eli, thank you very much for the tip.
	He says, do you know the details of Operation Blue Beam?
	That puts it all into dystopic place.
	Yeah, I think that's what they're going to pull with all this space nonsense and projecting this stuff.
	That was revealed quite some time ago.
	Whistler says, the rumble problem is fixed.
	We can now see comments and tips there again.
	Okay, great.
	That's good.
	That's why I'm seeing these things up here.
	DG8, thank you for the tip.
	He says, David, Trump cult says that Trump set Borla up to be booed.
	It's 3D chess.
	It's a bizarre cult, and he set him up again.
	Yeah, well, I guess maybe he was, was he setting up Larry Ellison of Oracle to be booed?
	For talking about how they're going to do custom genetic code injections designed for you by AI? No.
	Audi, Modern Retro Radio.
	John Kerry and others declared a year ago that the First Amendment needs to be reconsidered.
	That's right.
	What we're seeing now is their action plan, including that absurd 60 Minutes CIA piece in Germany.
	Wasn't that disgusting?
	Played all those clips last week.
	Sixty minutes just, you know, she was just giggling practically about all of the power of these bureaucrats to shut down anybody they didn't like.
	Angry Tiger, the CIA drones aren't there to make sure drugs don't come in.
	They're making sure the shipments are making it into the U.S. They don't like any competition, do they?
	Maybe they just want to shut down the drug lords and not working with them directly.
	You know, we had...
	George H.W. Bush did that.
	Manuel Norag, that strong man, he called him.
	Strong man.
	Well, I guess it's because he stood up to George H.W. Bush at some point.
	They were dealing drugs together, and then maybe he wanted a better deal or something, or maybe they wanted him to not have as good a deal that he wanted.
	And then everything went sideways on that, and we wound up with the invasion of Panama.
	We're going to take a quick break and we will be right back.
	We'll be right back.
	We'll be right back.
	We'll be right back.
	We'll be right back.
	Common again.
	You're listening to The David Knight Show.
	All right, we've only got about 10 minutes, and I want to acknowledge some of the emails that I've been stacking up here that I haven't talked about.
	This is from a listener in Ghana.
	He said, eggs are, they're $1.10 a dozen.
	That's even cheaper than Mexico.
	He says, chickens are everywhere.
	Funny, they're not dropping dead.
	You know, we've had 34 million chickens killed in just the last two or three months here because the USDA is strong-arming the American public trying to get us to approve.
	You talk about approval and fraud.
	They're trying to get the public to approve the vaccines for the chickens.
	The USDA has already approved it, but they need your approval, and they need you to go along with this culling of chickens so they can...
	Inject their mRNA into your food supply.
	Since people are not rolling up their sleeves anymore.
	This was sent by John B. Thank you very much.
	He sent this article.
	I hope I get to it.
	The fact that CBS is now pushing that we've got rat feces have bird flu in it.
	Oh yeah?
	Prove it.
	So what?
	Even if it's true.
	So what, even if it's true?
	And this, from Love of the Road, for the Love of the Road, thank you so much for everything.
	He wanted to correct me, and I was giving the website for RNC Stores.
	It's RNC Store.
	I did it again.
	It's singular.
	It's not plural.
	RNC Store.
	They got one store.
	It's at a website, and it's called rncstore.com, and you use the code NIGHT. To save 10%.
	And the reason I was talking about it last week was because of these new novel genetic code solutions or injections to save you from cancer.
	And I said, hey, look, there's a lot of evidence.
	And you can find the book by G. Edward Griffin also there at rncstore.com, singular, RSC Store.
	You can also find G. Edward Griffin's book.
	A World Without Cancer, talking about how effective B17, which is found in apricot seeds, and you can get them as the apricot seeds, and you can get it that way, or you can also get it ground up in a pill, because it's pretty bitter.
	So you can get the whole thing as it is, natural form, or you can get it distilled into a pill so that you don't taste it.
	As of right now, the FDA has done everything it could to shut down people talking about that.
	But they can't shut down a food like that.
	Except they're going to inject our food with mRNA, and people need to be talking about that.
	So I appreciate that.
	He also gave me a couple of things that were off the Telegram chat, and he even set up the Telegram chat for us.
	I really do appreciate what Ryan does there, for love of the road.
	He says, This was on the Telegram chat.
	Somebody responded and said, please tell David that the Reform Party are not Britain's last hope.
	One hour and 43 minutes in today's show, I said that.
	I said, no politician, as he later says.
	Nigel Farage is an arch rat.
	A supporter of Trump suggested that Blair be in charge of the vaccine rollout as he is respected and efficient.
	Tony Blair.
	I was not aware that Nigel Farage had said behind Tony Blair.
	He's stood against the de-industrialization as the Labor Party has their program of de-industrialization, and that was what I was talking about.
	I don't see the conservatives standing in the way of the green agenda.
	He is standing in the way of that, but again, when we look at these guys, just like it was with J.D. Vance, He can say all the right stuff about family.
	He can say all the right stuff about Jesus and then, you know, align himself with the transhumanist demons.
	All of them are a study in contradictions and hypocrisy.
	So, just do your own research.
	And he says, Pied Piper and Controlled Opposition, a traitor, is what he called Nigel Farage.
	He said, the deputy leader of reform is Matt Hancock.
	A friend of Matt Hancock, the guy that did the midazolam and tripled it so they could kill it.
	That was a drug that suppresses your respiratory issues.
	So somebody gets a cold, they get some bacterial pneumonia, they give them midazolam, kill them and say it's a COVID death.
	That was the game they were playing there.
	Same thing was happening to some degree here in the United States, but the ventilator was even more of an expensive And profitable solution.
	And perhaps even, I don't know which one of them is more effective.
	I mean, the ventilator was killing nearly 90% of the people that they put it on.
	But, you know, in the U.S., Trump has them make these ventilators, so people get real excited about that and buy the equipment.
	And then pay them a bonus to put them on the ventilator.
	A bonus, a 20% bonus for everything they do.
	So, Matt Hancock was talking about laughing about locking people up.
	He's tripling the amount of midazolam that is there.
	He's not a doctor, but evidently somebody told him that they could kill people who had respiratory issues.
	And then he passed this on as well from Telegram.
	This is from Biggie D, who says the $5,000 tax rebate will be CBDC and then UBI every year until Trump collapses the dollar.
	It will certainly move the Overton window, won't it?
	Yet again, and I had not done anything with this yet.
	He sent it to me back in September, and it was actually that time that I've talked about many times when I was on with Alex Jones, and he wanted to shut down any criticism of the vaccine.
	He did that as the show was ending, and the music is playing in the last 30 seconds.
	Oh, you get that Trump vaccine.
	And I said that was the first time I'd heard him say that.
	I'd had people who had emailed me and said that, oh, the vaccine's not...
	The one that Trump has got.
	Not the bad one that Bill Gates wants.
	And then somebody gave me that clip.
	Even after I've shown that clip to people, a lot of them will push back and say, well, that's not real.
	Yeah, it is.
	And so he sent me the entire program as well as the nine-minute segment.
	And I will be doing something with it, I promise, Ryan.
	Just be patient with me.
	I'm so far behind.
	As a matter of fact, Ryan has also put together a...
	Beautiful coin.
	It's a big coin.
	A commemorative coin that's in color.
	And it's large enough that we had to get different packaging material.
	And so hopefully we're going to get that on the website this week.
	It's a commemorative coin.
	Very nice.
	And I'll tell you about it when we get it rolled out.
	But we had to get different packaging material and we've got to change the website.
	So we're working on that.
	And things are going really, really slowly.
	So I apologize for the delay, but I really do appreciate all the help.
	And that's, well, we didn't get a chance to get around to the deja flu today.
	I promise that we'll get to it tomorrow.
	We had some important updates from Christine Massey showing the fraud.
	And boy, you talk about how there's chickens everywhere in Ghana.
	Nobody is killing chickens like we are here.
	Nobody.
	In the UK, they killed like 1.8 million, but everybody else is like, oh yeah, three years ago they killed 30,000 or so, but nobody's doing it except us.
	Isn't that interesting?
	Have a good day.
	The common man.
	They created common core to dumb down our children.
	They created common past to track and control us.
	Their commons project to make sure the commoners own nothing.
	And the communist future.
	They see the common man as simple, unsophisticated, ordinary.
	But each of us has worth and dignity created in the image of God.
	That is what we have in common.
	That is what they want to take away.
	Their most powerful weapons are isolation.
	If you can't support us financially, please keep us in your prayers.
