Music playing.
Music playing.
Making sense.
Common again.
You're listening to The David Knight Show.
All right.
Well, that was, I think, the shortest opening segment I think I've ever done.
Usually it's about 30 to 40 minutes.
That was about 30 to 40 seconds, maybe.
But we do have rumble working now, Whistler?
Okay, good.
And it is important that we get rumble working because, as I was saying, we're going to do matching funds.
I really do appreciate Anthony stepping up.
He had offered to do it back in December, but we already had Marty, who was doing it in December, so we asked him if we'd take a rain check, and so it's kind of raining.
We're at about 75% here with two days left.
He said, do it across all platforms with no limit.
It's a privilege to be able to help.
I'm genuinely happy to do so.
So thank you so much, Anthony.
I really do appreciate that.
Give us a tip as we are operating here.
He will match the funds.
Let's talk a little bit about what is happening with fluoridation to begin with.
I thought it was interesting.
We've had a lot of different counties have said they're going to stop fluoridation.
And, of course, this is following after the trial where the EPA lost.
The Fluoride Action Network and several others had come after the EPA. And pushing this, they lost in court, and so now you've got, it brought a lot of attention to this fact, and we've had the federal government require it at military bases and other places like that.
In Hawaii, there's no fluoridation except in the military bases where they absolutely require it.
And so Utah is now set to become the first state to end water fluoridation for all residents, not just county by county.
Of course, you can also do that if you've got a bad state government.
We've got 33 counties in Illinois that want to secede and join Indiana.
Some of them want to have an independent state or whatever.
Well, that's not going to happen, but they can secede from the fluoridation stuff, at least.
I remember when the lockdowns were going, I talked to a guy who was at a small church in a small town, and they wanted to keep it open.
Pritzker was adamant that he was going to come after anybody, any churches that stayed open.
He was going to use the state highway patrol against them and everything.
And this guy said, I'm not concerned about it.
He said the local sheriff is a member of the church.
Instead of, as we saw in Texas, where you had the local sheriffs going around writing down license plate numbers and things like that.
His local sheriffs are going to be keeping the state highway patrol and the state government away from those churches.
So we can always do things at the local level.
And we're not helpless if the federal government is not going to do it, if the state government is not going to do it.
it if they're actually pushing the wrong thing we can still do it at the local level nullification the doctrine of the lesser magistrate who has the law the constitution and morality on their side so anyway in utah the governor looks like he's perhaps going to sign it because it is now passed by large margins in both the house and the senate a bill to stop fluoridation statewide The House had already passed it.
that the u.s senate just voted 18 to 8 like i said large measure that they have shut this down in the house stephanie gracius i guess is the way you pronounce her name uh she said i'm a firm believer she's the one who introduced the bill and got it passed got the ball rolling in the house she said i'm a firm believer that the proper role of government is to provide safe clean drinking water not to medicate the public on a mass scale
and this has always been the issue that i've talked This is even beyond Arguing the point of whether fluoridation is good or effective or safe or whatever.
And it's not safe.
It's not effective.
It doesn't help your teeth.
It lowers your IQ. And that's proven scientifically.
They've actually proven that.
So that's one issue.
But let's say that it was safe.
Why would you medicate the public on a mass scale?
And if you're going to dump it in the water supply, how do you control the dosage?
The difference between a medication and a poison is the dosage.
It's critical to get the dosage right.
How do you get the dosage right for anybody when you dump it in the water supply?
You can't make sure that it is going to be uniformly distributed, and even if it were uniformly distributed, how much are you going to give a child versus an adult?
The concentration that is in it.
So, the new law is going to also give pharmacists new authority to prescribe fluoridation supplement pills.
In the past, they would have to be prescribed by a dentist or a physician.
We had a pediatrician when we first took our sons for an examination when they were probably about six or seven years old.
First time we took them to a pediatrician.
We didn't do the wellness stuff.
The doctor was freaked out that we were not on fluoridation water.
He prescribed us pills.
And so he just took the prescription, threw it away, and never went back to him.
Because I grew up on well water that was not fluoridated.
I know that it wasn't necessary.
Anyway, she said we're a firm believer that the government should be providing safe, clean drinking water, not medicating the public.
And she said, because I also believe in medical freedom, I wanted fluoride to remain available to anybody who wanted it.
So if you want it, you can go get it, and you don't have to have a doctor's prescription.
Well, if your IQ is already lowered, you can take it even lower, either themselves or their children, which is why we made the prescription easier to obtain through a pharmacy.
I don't even know what it means, if a pharmacist is going to write you a prescription.
Why don't you sell it over the counter?
Anyway, in the Senate, the bill's sponsor, who is the Senate Majority Leader, Kirk Cullimore, said the bill is about protecting our water, reducing unnecessary costs.
That's a big part of this.
There's always a profit margin when these people poison us, isn't there?
Whether you're talking about the pharmaceutical companies or the fluoridation companies, and ensuring that people have the right to decide what they consume.
So, it's about informed consent.
It's about lowering the cost because, you know, these people get paid to poison us.
They didn't want to have to pay to get rid of toxic wastes.
So, they came up with a fluoridation scam so that they could get the government to buy this.
Instead of them having to pay to dispose of this toxic waste, they could sell it to the government that put it in our water.
Rick North, board member of the Fluoride Action Network, one of the plaintiffs that won the landmark lawsuit over water fluoridation against the EPA, said that Utah's fluoridation ban bill enjoyed wide support, both House and the Senate, reflecting concerns over health risks and the firm opposition to adding any drug to drinking water, taking away people's right to informed consent.
And this is going to be very important.
Because, you know, we need to get this right just because...
Of the IQ issues.
And think about how over the years they have tried to paint anybody that is concerned about fluoridation as a raving lunatic.
Dr. Strangelove, for example.
General Jack D. Ripper.
And it starts a nuclear war and ends everything because he's concerned about fluoridation of the water.
But that's not the only place where it was done.
It was done everywhere.
Oh, well, it turns out the conspiracy theorists were right.
Yet again, so if the governor signs the bill, it would be the first time a state has done this, and it would be a catalyst for other states to do so.
The judge, in the decision against the EPA, outlined the overwhelming scientific evidence.
That exposure to fluoride is linked to reduce IQ in children.
The EPA recently announced it plans to appeal the ruling recently.
Now, question is, is I going to end now with Lee Zeldin, the new Trump EPA appointment?
I mean, recently that could have been just, you know, the tail end of the Biden administration.
So it'll be interesting to see what the Trump administration does, what Lee Zeldin does.
If he chooses not to pursue this appeal, then it ends at that point in time.
And, of course, it is a byproduct of fertilizer production.
It is also a byproduct of aluminum manufacturing in the mid-20th century and of the nuclear industry.
This form of fluoride is sold as rat poison in China, put into the drinking water here in America, so that the people...
Who are making this stuff can have a profit.
So the House Representative, and again, I'm guessing it's the pronunciation of her name, Gracious, started working on the issue last year after a resident approached her.
So I'd like to have individual choice when it comes to what prescriptions she and her children took.
What do you mean?
Well, you know, they're forcing us to take fluoride in the water.
And then the Senate Majority Leader, who introduced it and put the bill together in the Senate, He said local water conservatory districts reached out to him, citing claims of employee safety and the decision of the landmark case of the EPA. But they also had a district,
inside his district, there was a city of Sandy, Utah, where a malfunctioning pump in the water fluoridation system released undiluted Hydrofluorosilicic acid into the water in 2019. And it affected 1,500 households, institutions, and businesses, made over 200 people sick.
You know, we have headline after headline after headline after headline about, you know, it's now like 120 people that they say have measles in Texas.
This is 200 people who got sick.
From Water Floor Nation.
Did you ever see any articles about that?
No.
No, I didn't.
I would have noticed that if there had been any articles about that.
But boy, this is international news that you've got 120 cases of measles.
Nobody's died.
And so, well, some people have been put in the hospital.
Do you think that the CDC encouraged that?
I mean, are they seriously sick enough to be in the hospital?
Could be.
I mean, you get complications from a cold, can't you?
And people die from complications from a cold.
It can go into bacterial pneumonia, and people can die.
I'm not making fun of this.
I'm just saying that when I look at some of the people, how the news media has hyped this, do you think that maybe some of the physicians hyped this?
Well, just out of an abundance of caution, let's put you in the hospital.
They put somebody in the hospital!
So, 1,500 households.
Institutions, businesses, and over 200 people got sick.
An investigation revealed that officials had failed to notify the public for 10 days and that fluoride was detected in the drinking water at 40 times the recommended level.
Now, we've had situations like in Flint, Michigan, where they got lead, I think it was, in the water.
Whatever it was, it was horrific.
But, again, that same type of thing.
They just...
Don't tell you.
That's why it's always a good idea, especially if you are on city water, kind of a water system, to have your own water filtration.
And that's even a good idea if you're on groundwater, if you've got a well, because you never know if somebody in the vicinity has polluted the groundwater with something.
So proponents of water fluoridation argue that it protects children's oral health.
However, in October, An updated Cochrane review concluded that adding fluoride to drinking water provides very limited, if any, dental benefits, especially compared to 50 years ago.
Well, if you want fluoride, you can get it.
And if you want it, you can put it on your toothpaste.
I don't want it.
And you might want to, if you got fluoridated toothpaste, notice the thing on the back.
It said, if you swallow this...
Call poison control.
That's on all fluoridated toothpaste.
I wonder why that is.
And that was happening for the longest time, even though the EPA was pushing it on people.
The people who want to protect the environment.
The people who want to protect our water.
But nothing shows how what cynical liars owned by a big industry is the EPA than that.
The fluoridation stuff, even while the toothpaste manufacturers were covering themselves legally for any liability with a disclaimer.
Hey, if you swallow this, call poison control.
At the same time they're doing that, the EPA is adamant that you must put this in.
So the Fluoride Action Network Executive Director, Cooper, said that 95% of the world and 98% of Europe do not fluoridate.
And many countries have passed resolutions banning it decades ago.
Except for our federal government and the EPA. That was supposed to protect the environment.
So the Patriot Act was supposed to be patriotic and it overturned the Constitution.
The Environmental Protection Agency is there polluting the environment.
He said states and towns that continue to add fluoridation.
Are the extreme outliers and radicals in this situation?
Florida Surgeon General Joseph Latipo in December advised governments across the state to stop adding fluoride into their water.
Lawmakers in at least three other states have introduced legislation.
Tennessee is one of those.
Then there's North Dakota and New Hampshire.
There's also bills in Arkansas, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Nebraska, and South Dakota.
That would either repeal statewide fluoridation programs or set limits on the amount of fluoride added to the water.
Last week, Texas Agricultural Commissioner Sid Miller also called on Governor Abbott and the state legislators to institute a statewide ban on water fluoridation.
As I said before, Hawaii is the only state that does not offer water fluoridation, but the military bases mandate it because of the federal government that wants to kill us.
Bucking national trends, Democrat senators in Connecticut are introducing legislation to preserve the current levels of 0.7 milligrams of fluoride per liter.
How do you control that?
Recommended by the public health agencies.
Continue the water fluoridation, they said, at the same level because they're worried that Trump is going to get rid of it.
Well, let's hope that Lee Zeldin drops this.
It's time to do that on a one-by-one basis.
So, as the Whistler said, we have a lot of people joining us because we have problems with the...
That's not one of these stink bugs there.
We had problems with the Rumble feed, and I mentioned at the beginning that Anthony has kindly offered to match funds today.
We're at about 75% here with two days left.
So, thank you very much.
Marky Mark in New Jersey, thank you.
Says, there's something extra to support the dissemination of truth.
Thank you so much.
DG8, thank you.
Says, good morning, David.
All the listeners, happy birthday.
S.A. Miller.
Well, happy birthday.
I didn't know that.
And so, I'm Marty.
Thank you, Marty.
Thank you very much.
And he says, thank you, Anthony, for matching funds today.
Whistler says, most countries around the world are crazy conspiracy theorists who don't believe in fluoride and even made it illegal.
Like 98% of the countries in Europe, crazy conspiracy theorists.
We're all dead, said everyone knows that God forgot the fluoride and clearly needs the help of the government.
Bloating from fluoride also ruins teeth.
That's right.
Fluorosis is what it's called.
And so, I don't know what it is with a dentist.
I haven't figured out their angle yet.
You know, who's paying them off?
Are they getting paid off by the fertilizer companies or the aluminum companies or the nuclear companies that instead of having to pay to dispose of their toxic waste, they get to sell it?
I don't know what.
Star Barkley, thank you very much.
I appreciate that.
He says, a little for the kitty, and thank you, Anthony.
Yes, thank you.
Again, Anthony is matching funds today.
Whether it works or not really makes me wonder about why people are taking fluoride pills.
These are the parents who grew up drinking lots of fluoridated water, I guess.
I don't understand.
I don't understand.
Gustav Saibon, fluoride should not be ingested.
But it is effective as a chemical in toothpaste to preserve your teeth by hardening them and protecting your enamel.
Well, again, everybody can make their own decisions.
You can use fluoride toothpaste or you can take fluoride pills that somehow is going to get to the teeth.
I don't know.
It seems to me like an application would be the thing to go if you really believe that's going to work.
Or you can even swallow the fluoride if you really dedicate it.
You know, it's about informed consent.
So inform yourself.
But we should never have the government medicating people through the water supply.
The CIA did that to a French town with LSD, by the way, just to see what would happen.
It's all a big experiment for them.
Soylent Goy says, if my neighbor put fluoride in my well, I'd be angry.
If my government does it, I'd feel safe.
Whistler says, is LSD good for your teeth?
Yeah.
It's good for the CIA. They've always been pushing drugs, doing mind control.
I mean, everything that they're doing, all kinds of occultic stuff.
North American House Hippo says, when I lived in Canada, I filed the equivalent of a FOIA with the city of Toronto requesting their fluoride spill containment plan.
Among other things, it required containment of the storm drains and evacuation of surrounding neighborhoods if it spills out.
It's highly toxic.
As a matter of fact, You've seen pictures that have been smuggled out of the water treating facilities there in Austin, and they've got like a Class 4 toxic thing on the fluoride thing, and I mean, it's amazing when you look at it.
So it also says Niagara Falls, Ontario is not fluoridated.
Niagara Falls, New York is fluoridated.
Kids in Niagara Falls, Ontario have teeth that look just as fine.
In fact, they seem to have more problems over in New York, Niagara Falls.
Yeah.
Very interesting.
When there's water everywhere, but, you know, don't drink that water unless you put some fluoride in it.
This is also very interesting.
Florida is hinting at legal action against Fauci for the pandemic response.
This was Ron DeSantis speaking at Yale, because he's a Yalie.
I don't know if he was in the Skull and Bones or not.
They suggested this during a speech that the state's new attorney general could pursue such an investigation.
So, again, he was at the Yale Federalist Society.
DeSantis said that the preemptive pardon that Biden gave Fauci protects him from federal prosecution, but not from state prosecution.
His comments came as 17 state attorneys general sent a letter to congressional leaders earlier this month inviting Congress to share with state investigators evidence that might implicate Fauci.
DeSantis said it's, quote, very possible, quote, unquote, that the new Florida Attorney General James Uthmeyer, his former chief of staff, would seek to prosecute Fauci, whom he called the chief henchman of the U.S. pandemic response.
I think he's of the mindset to look at this, to see what the jurisdictional hooks are, to see what, if any, statutes, state statutes, would have been violated.
Okay, so this has got a couple of purposes here.
Why are they doing this?
Number one, if they come after Fauci, It gives DeSantis an alibi for what he did.
And look, I understand that he was one of the first people, the first governors to pull back on this.
Kemp was the first one to pull back against Trump's lockdown orders, and then right after that, DeSantis did.
And Trump was furious at them for doing that.
Now, he did not remove the funds for that, but of course, he wanted everybody to do this, and he paid them to do it.
And so, by blaming it all on Fauci, Then what that does is that gives DeSantis and Kemp and all of these governors, the really bad ones, so many really bad ones, everybody says, well, it's just a Democrat governor.
So I, you know, yes, all the Democrat governors are fully on board.
But some of the worst were the Republican governors, like DeWine in Ohio, bribing people, you know, hey, we got a lottery.
You could win a million dollars if you get a vaccine, that type of thing.
Or you had Brad Little in Idaho, the Republican governor with a Republican legislature, House, and Senate.
They were going to stop his executive orders of lockdown, and he disbanded them.
Came up with his own formulation, which was coercive to small businesses and threatening to them, and then told them to come back and pass it, and they did.
So you had a lot of really bad government.
So what would this do if they come after Fauci?
Well, it gives them an alibi.
We didn't do it.
It was Fauci.
Make him the scapegoat.
And yes, he was a ringleader.
And yet, they were all doing it, right?
They were all, if he's a criminal, they were all accessories, weren't they?
Co-conspirators, I would say.
And it was all part of a conspiracy.
You know, every time there's a crime committed, almost every time, hardly ever does anybody act.
Completely alone.
And so usually investigators will pull in other people and charge them with conspiracy, even if they just want to turn them so they can testify against the main person they want to get.
They'll charge them all with conspiracy.
Shouldn't all of the governors be charged with criminal conspiracy?
Shouldn't Trump be held responsible for this?
So coming after Fauci, as much as I would like to see this guy locked up, and he should be locked up, they have skin in the game as well.
And this is why I think they may do something, because it allows them to put the sin on the goat and push him out into the wilderness and over the cliff.
The scapegoat.
They bring him in, they put their hands on him, and place the sin on Fauci, and then send him out.
Number two, so first of all, this is to absolve themselves, to give themselves an alibi.
And we had nothing to do with it.
And we punished the guy who did it.
It was all Fauci.
It wasn't me.
I didn't do anything.
Secondly, it is to push this lab leak nonsense that is there to tell you, A, that, oh, this is real.
It wasn't a psychological thing.
This was a real virus and a real pandemic.
And, of course, it wasn't.
It wasn't.
And we've shown that many different times in many different ways.
But to tell you that it was real and they did their best.
And then number two, most importantly, to tell you that it's going to come back again, which is what Robert Redfield and these other people were doing.
Well, we're going to take a quick break, and when we come back, we've got some more news.
Syrian girl, thank you so much for the tip.
It says, thanks for keeping the fluoridation issue alive so that maybe we can keep ourselves alive and well.
Same issue of dosage applies to adding vaccines to food.
And that's what I started to say earlier.
I said, this is an important issue because it doesn't start and end with fluoridation.
There's a lot of things that are being put into our food supply and a lot more things that they want to put into our food supply.
In Tennessee, we had a member of the legislature.
I don't remember if his house or senate, I don't remember his name.
But he's a physician.
And he was the one because he saw them bragging about how they were going to grow vaccines and lettuce and other things like that.
He said, no, you're not.
And so when he put a bill out there saying you're not going to be allowed to put this stuff into food, that it's a drug, and you're going to have to have a prescription, and so you can't sell that food over the counter.
Oh, there was this big hue and cry around the world.
What a crazy conspiracy theorist.
And yet he said, I'm not a conspiracy theorist.
They were the ones saying that's what they're working on.
They're putting that in.
So it's going to be in a lot of different things.
And everything in our food.
Really should have informed consent.
It's not just vaccines and the poison pharmaceuticals that they're out there with, but it's also our food.
You don't even know a lot of the stuff that's in the food, and we're going to be talking about that coming up.
What is in the eggs right now that you don't know about?
And a really good expose on factory farming and the egg industry.
By Brian Shulhavi at Vaccine Impact.
So we're going to be talking about that coming up.
We're going to take a break first.
Savoga says fluoride is toxic, but at least it's also bad for teeth.
Northern American House Hippo.
Most of Europe is not fluoridated, except in the UK. Tell us everything we need to know right there.
As the Simpsons put it, the big book of British teeth.
The British, in case you don't know, are notorious for having bad teeth.
And so, other than the U.S., they're the ones who use four-nation.
I guess they're desperate.
I don't know what's going on.
We're going to take a quick break and we'll be right back.
We're going to take a quick break.
We're going to take a quick break.
I think it's important to understand that we don't need to have a dictator in Washington.
I guess instead of the District of Columbia, we could call it the Dictates of Columbia, or the Dictates of the Chief.
The guy who's going to be filing one executive order after the other.
Whistler reminds me to remind you that we have the matching funds again because we got off to a rocky start this morning with the rumble stream not working.
So maybe you missed the announcement.
And Anthony has kindly offered to match funds today.
So we really appreciate what he's doing.
In this particular case, this is Tennessee.
And this is a law that limits drag shows for kids.
And I thought it was the perfect law.
It really highlighted what the issue is with these vulgar, sexualized dances that these men are doing with children.
Because what it said was, it said, well, we're going to call it all adult entertainment.
And we're going to have the same rules for it that we would for a strip club or something.
Because that's the culture that they're selling to kids.
And they're acting as if they were at a strip club.
And so the U.S. Supreme Court has now denied a request to review the decision of a lower court that upheld the Tennessee Adult Entertainment Act.
The act prohibits, quote, adult-oriented performances that are harmful to minors.
Adult cabaret entertainment is defined by the law as performances that feature topless dancers, go-go dancers, exotic dancers, strippers, male or female impersonators, or similar entertainers.
Again, since when was it okay to take a kid into a strip joint?
Since never.
And yet, these people demanded that this be allowed.
Common sense has prevailed, finally.
Free speech is a sacred American value, says the Tennessee Attorney General, Scrimetti.
But the First Amendment does not require Tennessee to allow sexually explicit performances in front of children.
That's exactly right.
So, as all this is happening, and we see that things can be done at the state level.
Things can be done at the local level.
And I really emphasize that because Washington is incredibly corrupt, and we're going to talk about what the philosophy of Washington is now, now that we have the technocrats that are there, and what is it really that they seek to do, where are they drawing their inspiration from, and actually the philosophy.
I've talked about what they planned on doing, and we see the map of the technate and how they wanted to unify.
Everything from the northern tip of South America through Central America, and Mexico, America, Canada, up to Greenland.
Well, that kind of makes sense as to some of the interest that Trump is doing, the geography of all that.
And, of course, that was put together in the 1930s.
At that point in time, the founder of Technocracy Incorporated said that We want to essentially have a Fortress America.
We've got everything that we need, all the resources and everything.
It's really where Trump is coming from, Fortress America kind of approach.
But this has now been adopted globally.
The same people would love to do this on a global basis as well.
So that has metastasized to some degree.
But we're going to talk about the philosophy behind it.
But let's talk a little bit about secession.
Because you've got mainstream media writing articles about secession.
You've got think tanks writing articles about secession.
This was a big topic in 2017 because Trump was so divisive and chaotic at the time.
Not as much as he is now.
And my first guest when my program began in 2017, in August of 2017, my first guest that I wanted to talk to was...
One of the organizations, and there were several organizations in California that wanted to secede because Trump was president.
And so my response to that was to get him on and say, how can we help you?
I'd like for you to go your own way because there's a lot of people in the rest of the United States that really don't share your opinion.
And so I had a lot of conservatives there in California and said, wait a minute.
But you're there with these people.
If you can't fix them, then we're just going to have to ask you both to leave, is my approach to all of that.
It is the sort of thing, if they honored the right of secession, then those conservative counties would be able to secede and have their own self-governance.
Why wouldn't they want that?
See, that's the issue.
That's the principle.
That's what happened during the Civil War with West Virginia.
Virginia seceded, and West Virginia said, well, no, we want to stay in the Union.
I've used that example many, many, many times.
We talk about the Ukrainian coup in 2014. Ukraine wanted to have its independence from Russia after being part of Russia for 400 years.
Well, fine.
Let them have their independence if that's really what they want.
It may be what the CIA wants.
I don't know if it's what the Ukrainian people want, but it's what the CIA wanted.
But there were a lot of eastern Ukraine close to Russia.
They were not just physically close to Russia, but culturally, linguistically, religiously close to Russia.
They wanted to remain with Russia.
Well, the CIA-installed government didn't like that idea, so that began a civil war where Kiev shelled those areas and those civilians for many years before the Russian invasion.
So, you know, we see this over and over again.
Okay, well, I demand that I can secede and have self-governance, but the rest of you can't secede from us.
I have that right, but not you.
And so this is a lot of different states that are talking about this.
Newsweek says there are secession movements active in 12 U.S. states.
People in California, Washington, Oregon, who want to secede and join another state, or to be independent.
And this particular one that they focused on was in Illinois, because the desires of about, I think it's 33, they said about three dozen.
I think 33 is the exact number.
Somewhere here in the article we'll get to it.
33 Illinois counties want to secede.
And so they have taken their wishes to the neighboring state of Indiana, and their wishes were approved in Indiana's House of Representatives on Thursday.
If you were to move the boundaries of a state, it has to be approved by both states, and it has to be approved by Congress as well.
So this is not going to happen, but it is something that is really dear to the heart of these people.
Some Illinois residents, particularly in rural or conservative-leaning counties, are seeking to join Indiana because they argue that Illinois' higher taxes, political climate, and urban-centric policies, which favor cities like Chicago, do not align with the interests of rural communities.
And this is an issue in every state.
Every state.
The concentration of people in the cities, the people in the cities have typically very different.
And then the people in the rural areas, they tend to dominate because of the concentration of population, and also because in the cities they typically tend towards being Democrats, because Democrats tend toward being corrupt.
And you've always had this situation.
As I've said many times, Thomas Jefferson said, cities are a threat to the health, the welfare, and the liberty of mankind.
And so, Indiana legislature, the House, approved this and said, yeah, if you want to come, that's great.
And I think we had a similar situation in Idaho.
Some of the people, it was either in Washington or Oregon, maybe both, wanted to be a part, be associated with Idaho.
And I think they were friendly to it in Idaho.
But, of course, the other states are going to veto that.
Calls for secession have been growing since the 2020 election.
House Republican Marjorie Taylor Greene talked about a national divorce.
I get everybody talking about that.
They say, well, civil war.
Well, it doesn't have to follow necessarily that you have a civil war.
Isn't it?
Not only do you have this urban-rural divide, but when you stop and think about how many people we have in one institution, we've talked about this many times in terms of the number of congressmen, They were going to cap the number of congressmen, and they did, and the Constitution.
And immediately after the federal government was created, they ignored that cap.
It was supposed to be capped at 50,000 people, and they've ignored that.
And what they've done, instead of capping the number of people that a representative could represent, they have fixed the number of representatives so the people that they represent has exploded.
I know that, I think it was back in the 90s when I was looking at Congress, there was about 500,000 people per congressional district then.
It's more than that now.
And you can't really represent people that well.
You had, at the time, in 1776, the combined population of all 13 colonies was 2.5 million people.
2.5 million, excluding slaves.
Who did not vote, and they were not trying to represent them.
But in terms of 2.5 million people in all of the 13 colonies, most of these cities have more than 2.5 million people, most of these big cities.
So it's to the point where we don't really have representative government anymore, do we?
That's why I keep talking about going back to the local level.
Because if you just look at the numbers that are there, we don't have representative government at all.
You can't have one person represent that many people.
The bill in Indiana was approved by lawmakers with a pretty large vote, 69 to 25. It would see 33, that's how it is, 33 Illinois counties become part of Indiana.
They're even creating an Indiana-Illinois Boundary Adjustment Commission.
With exploring secession and the transfer of counties that have already voted to leave the state of Illinois.
Since 2020, 33 counties in Illinois have held advisory referenda on the issue of secession from the state.
However, the referendum language involved in the counties splitting off to create a new 51st state and not joining Indiana.
So they had the idea they were going to create a 51st state called New Illinois.
And when you look at this, isn't it interesting?
Well, I don't want to have 51 states.
What are we going to do with Canada then?
Just amazing.
I saw the pictures of the hockey teams fighting each other.
One of them in a blue uniform.
The other one in a red uniform.
Isn't this a perfect picture of what Trump has done to us?
He's got red fighting blue.
We've got Americans fighting Canadians even.
Canadians even.
Well, you talk about stirring things up where there was never any conflict before.
State switching throughout history.
Well, there's been a lot of this that's happened in the past.
And, of course, the most famous one that I mentioned before were when Virginia seceded.
West Virginia said, we want to stay.
And I've talked about that over and over again with Ukraine.
You know, why not have East Ukraine stay as a part of Russia?
But no.
Another period of state switching occurred during the 1860s when the lost counties, as they called them, of Tennessee and Kentucky saw some changes on their borders due to the political climate around the Civil War.
In the 1830s, Dunklin County, Missouri was another example of state switching when it was originally part of the Arkansas Territory.
But it was transferred to Missouri before the state was formally admitted into the Union.
In the 1800s, the Red River Valley region saw a number of border adjustments between Minnesota and the Dakota Territory before North Dakota became a state.
So a lot of these were driven by territorial disputes as the U.S. was expanding westward, as they were having states that were created.
The territories were being readjusted.
A final example of this occurred in 1820 when Maine became a state.
Prior to statehood, all of Maine's counties were part of Massachusetts, and when Maine separated from Massachusetts, it became its own state, a change that was part of the Missouri Compromise, which helped to resolve tensions between free and slave states during the period.
So it's not clear, they said, when this will happen, or if it will be voted on in Illinois, but it is highly unlikely to even come up for a vote in Illinois.
But Mises.org.
Talked about secession as well.
Why redrawing U.S. state borders makes politicians so mad?
As I've said many times about all these different wars, why are we focused so much on borders?
We care so much more about borders than we do about people.
We care so much more about borders than we do about freedom.
And we really are hyper-focused on the borders.
And certainly that was something that we've always seen.
If you go back to the Civil War, The pejorative that was leveled at the Confederates by the Union soldiers was typically, it's either rebel or secesh, but the most common one was secesh.
They were angry, angry enough to go kill people.
The fact that they wanted to have self-governance, it was not about slavery.
There's no instances that I can find anywhere.
You can go back and look at the...
The PBS version of the Civil War, which follows the typical American textbook in terms of causes and things like that.
Ken Burns' documentary.
And when they're going back and reading all the comments and diaries and things like that, it's always secesh this and secesh that.
They were angry at them because they were secessionists.
Why would you get angry about that?
It just makes no sense to me.
There's no instances of them calling people, well, you slave masters, you racist, or whatever.
That wasn't a factor in it.
As I pointed out, in 1861 to 1865, at the same time we were having our Civil War, there was a Civil War in Italy.
That Civil War was over the fourth turning, where you had nation-states being created out of previously agrarian centers of power, distributed.
They wanted to consolidate everything into a nation-state, and the nation-states were coming together along with the Industrial Revolution.
So these things all came together all at once, and that's what we're going to see right now in the next couple of years.
We're going to see a change of governance.
You may still have the old boundaries there.
But it's going to be a radical change in governance.
I mean, you still had the states afterwards, but after the Civil War, but everybody said, referred to it before the Civil War, they said the United States are, indicating plural, right?
Plural states, sovereign states.
Afterwards, it said the United States is.
It became a single, unified entity.
So we're going to see that type of thing.
The governance is going to change.
And it is part of what...
What Klaus Schwab cannot stop talking about, Ziphos Industrial Revolution, right?
And it will be forced on us.
So you're going to see a lot of that kind of thing happening.
And so, as I point out at Mises.org, they said a great many Americans can't stand the idea of anything other than the status quo, no matter how obsolete the status quo has become.
For example, Illinois State Representative Charlie Meyer expressed the usual lack of imagination when asked about redrawing the Illinois border.
He said, I don't see it happening.
If they allow Illinois to split off, what happens if California wants to split?
They can end up being five states or even let Texas split up.
He said the proper question for Meyer then is, so what?
So what if California wanted to split up?
So what if Texas wanted to split up?
Are you so dedicated?
To that thing?
That you're willing to kill people?
Well, yes, we've already seen it in our history.
Can't have that happen.
It is often pointed out that no state can change its border without the approval of the U.S. Congress.
This is unfortunately true.
And the clause that requires this is one of the most idiotic portions of the U.S. Constitution, says Mises, and I agree.
When Illinois was a vacant waste of swamps and forests, the U.S. Congress drew up some lines and a map around the area.
That's what we did 250 years ago, and that can never, ever be changed.
In another article, just the last couple of days, I've had several of these, because this is a very important political and historical question, secession is.
And we've had peaceful secessions.
We've had the Scandinavian countries, every time I talk about this, I mention them as an example.
We've got about five Scandinavian countries there.
Finland, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, and everything.
Combined and broken apart in various combinations many, many times.
And every time it was done peacefully.
And so, the just war and the lost cause mythology.
Because when people talk about the Civil War, a lot of them will talk about the lost cause.
Some of them will do it romantically.
Some of them will do it pejoratively.
But it also comes back to the just war.
And as I pointed out, I had a supporter who said, well, I just bought the Christmas album.
This week we sold two Christmas albums, which is interesting.
I listen to Christmas music year-round, obviously.
And there's, I think, the streaming services.
I think Spotify said there's about 1% of the people, 1% of their playlist throughout the year outside of the Christmas season.
Christmas music is still about 1%.
But anyway.
They said, well, I bought this, but I really don't understand your position on Israel, Lincoln, and Churchill.
I've never really even talked about Churchill.
I like some things about Churchill, some things I don't like about Churchill.
I thought he was a great war leader.
Many people questioned whether or not he had a big part in escalating the war.
A lot of people were angry because he got us involved in World War II. And other things like that.
And of course, there were things that he did before he became Prime Minister that were not successful.
What happened with Gallipoli during World War I when he was Secretary of the Navy, that was horrific failure.
And so, you know, he's got his detractors.
Nobody is perfect.
I'll just say that, you know.
I think he did have a lot of great leadership ability.
When we went to the UK, I found in a used bookstore.
History of the English-speaking people by Winston Churchill.
And I really found that fascinating.
I haven't gotten to, I didn't read the part where he was talking about more contemporary things.
You know, Churchill is famous for having said, history is written by the victors, and I will write the history of World War II. I was more interested in what he said about really ancient and early British history.
And I thought it was very interesting.
He's a very good writer.
But I don't really particularly have, you know, an axe to grind about Churchill.
I know Obama took his bust out of the Oval Office and then was put back in by Trump and so forth.
But when it comes to Lincoln, I've got a lot to say about Lincoln.
Thomas DiLorenzo wrote a great book about Lincoln, Lincoln the Man.
And when we look at Lincoln, was it necessary to have a war?
No, it wasn't.
As they point out in this article, a lot of people call it the War of Northern Aggression.
Actually, what Stonewall Jackson called it was the Second War of American Independence.
And they don't quote Stonewall Jackson in this Mises article, but they do talk about the parallels between Washington and Lee.
And I'm not talking about the university that's named after the two of them.
It was, you know, if, how could 80 years after the country had declared its independence with the Declaration of Independence and given the reasons why they were justified in separating from Great Britain, why could that foundational document, the thing that, the ideas that founded this country, it was what Abraham Lincoln did was an absolute repudiation to that.
And, of course, he repudiated the Constitution as well, declaring martial law and coming after elected representatives, locking them up, an income tax and all the other things that he did, suspending habeas corpus.
It was the calling up of troops to go attack another state that was the final straw for Virginia to secede.
When you look at what Lincoln did, it was not, some people called it Lincoln's War, because it was his war.
And the parallel, really, to what the South was doing, as I said before, it was to see the slavery used as justification for it.
Now, I'm not defending slavery, but the South was starting to move away from that, and even during the war, they stopped the slave trade, and it would have gone away.
As it did in other places, slavery was ended in the British Empire when it had a far greater economic advantage in the British Empire because of the efforts of William Wilberforce, a tireless Christian who made it his life's work to first stop the slave trade and then to stop slavery completely.
And what they did was they paid off the plantation owners for the confiscated quote-unquote property.
And they spent less money to do that than the North spent on ammunition.
We didn't need to have all the deaths.
And so, with this, he says, Rothbardian libertarianism, this is Mises, upholds liberty as an ethical and moral standard, and for this reason, it is often criticized for being idealistic and utopian.
Addressing this critique...
Duncan Whitmore argues that the mere fact that we live in a statist society in which all of our liberties are under siege does not mean that the fight for liberty is a lost cause.
He quotes T.S. Eliot to substantiate his argument, Eliot's point being that a worthwhile cause may never be entirely one, but it must be kept alive.
Isn't this something that we as Christians understand?
When we say that we understand what...
We are supposed to do what we are called to do.
We understand these principles that we live by, and we live by those, and we leave the consequences to God.
And whether or not we prevail, quote-unquote, in the terms of the world, we are doing the right thing, and we understand that eternally we will prevail.
And so he said, Whitmore says, if we take the widest and the wisest view of a cause, there's no such thing as a lost cause, because there's no such thing as a gained cause.
We fight rather to keep something alive than in the expectation that it will triumph.
Similarly, in his 1908 book, The Philosophy of Loyalty, Josiah Royce argues loyalty to lost causes is then not only a possible thing, but one of the most potent influences of human history.
The cause being lost does not mean that it will or should be abandoned.
On the contrary, its supporters continually rally their energies on the defense of the cause.
In other words, principles matter.
And it's not about winning.
This is one of the things about Trump and the MAGA people that really bothers me.
This is where all of this 4D chess comes from.
Oh, well, he's just lying to you.
He's not really lying to you.
He's lying to the other people.
Well, he actually is lying to you as well.
And if he's going to lie about this stuff, we really don't know where we're going to head with this stuff.
But he's not going to defend any principles.
And that's a very dangerous way to govern.
And so Murray Rothbard wrote that he only considered two American wars to be just wars.
The Revolutionary War and the War for Southern Independence.
He saw both of them being fought in defense of liberty and expressed his certainty that the South shall rise again.
So what is a just war?
Well, then that goes back to the other question.
The person said, I'm trying to understand your position in Israel.
And I said from the very beginning of this that a just war, that you don't have a different set of moral principles because it's a political entity than you do for an individual.
And they said, well, don't you have a right of self-defense?
Well, of course you have a right of self-defense.
But how does that look?
And I give the example that...
In all the states that allow you to defend your property without being prosecuted, where they have a castle doctrine, the idea is that if somebody comes into your home and they are a threat to you, you can defend yourself, even if it means killing that person.
However, it's also understood that if they're not a threat to you, if they've grabbed your television set and they're running out with it underneath their arm, you can't shoot them in the back on your front lawn.
And the just war principle is bigger than that.
That's just a simple principle that when you're, you are justified to use force in defense of innocent life.
But the question for nation states was addressed, and it is, Augustine talked about it.
And he said, first of all, the principle still stands, the primary principle is that you're there to defend innocent life.
And when you prosecute the war, your goal should be to try to stop the aggression, not to get retribution.
And part of this is that you want to, you know, the reason that you have in Western nations people wearing uniforms is because you want to be able to distinguish the combatants from the non-combatants, from the civilians.
Why?
So that you could minimize any civilian loss, what the Pentagon calls.
Collateral damage.
But it was always, up until World War II, it was always considered to be the key intention to not prosecute a war against civilians.
That all ended with a massive bombing campaign.
The Nazis bombed London.
Then we became like them with the bombing of Dresden.
Which would have been a war crime, as Robert McNamara said, trying to defend himself from being involved in the false flag attacks and the continuing war with Vietnam and the lies about it being a domino theory.
He said if we'd lost the war, we would have been prosecuted as war criminals for what was done in Dresden.
And many people say that Dresden was as bad or worse than what was done with the nuclear bombs being dropped on cities.
And again, the nuclear bombs being dropped on cities would not be justified as Augustine laid it out.
And I don't believe it was justified.
It was always sold as, well, this is the way that, you know, we would have had to fight island by island.
Okay, well, if you wanted to use nuclear weapons on an island, you could certainly do it.
You didn't have to fight, you know, for every inch of the island.
You could have used a nuclear weapon on the island, couldn't you?
Why would you use it then against cities?
That was not justified.
But we also don't wait until we are attacked.
We have preemptive war now.
Which is what was condemned with Pearl Harbor.
A day that would live in infamy.
Well, that day of infamy has been repeated now by the United States and by our allies over and over again.
Because we always do preemptive wars now.
And it's still not justified.
And so you want to try to end the war as soon as possible.
You want to try to minimize civilian casualties.
And that's one of the reasons why I oppose this Gaza war.
And it's clearly the objective is an incredibly cynical disregard for civilian life.
That's what we're seeing.
As a matter of fact, I'll show you this right now.
I'm just going to pull it up later.
But this was...
Something somebody did with AI showing Gaza Today and where Gaza will go with Trump hotels and Trump's turning it into a Middle Eastern paradise and everything.
And Trump posted this on Truth Social.
People are saying, he posted this?
Take a look at this.
So here we are, Gaza Today.
People in the rubble.
So what is next, it says?
Well, here they walk into the paradise.
Oh, there's Elon Musk eating food.
Belly dancers on the beach.
Oh, a golden-headed Trump balloon.
And his casino.
There's Elon Musk throwing money to everybody.
The Trump Gaza Casino.
Oh, a golden statue of Trump and more little golden statuettes everywhere.
And there's Netanyahu and Trump on the beach.
Yeah, there you go.
Well, that kind of stuff, and Trump likes that.
Talking about that, Netanyahu likes that.
It's not really debatable anymore what their ultimate goal is, is it?
So getting back to this, he says, in 1861, the southern states, believing correctly that their cherished institutions were under grave threat and assault from the federal government, decided to exercise their natural, contractual, and constitutional right to withdraw, to secede from the Union.
It was not necessary for Lincoln to attack because of that, but he escalated it into violence.
And when I talk about this, I always talk about the importance of these cycles of history.
When we talk about this, we get into the philosophy of the technocrats, because they subscribe to the great man theory of history, rather than to a cyclical theory of history.
I think that everything happens because of a single great man.
They are supporting the idea of a dictatorship.
That should concern us.
But when we look at the cycle of history, understand that all of the stuff that happened, it happened over tariffs, it happened over trade and other issues like that, there was almost a secession and a split during the nullification crisis of 1832. When Andrew Jackson was president.
And that was brought about, interestingly enough, by the Terrace of Abomination that happened, I think it began in 1828. You had the southern states that were dependent on selling their product abroad did not like the massive terrace that were put on by Andrew Jackson.
And so they said, these are abominations.
They are going to bankrupt us.
And they left them on.
And so it created the nullification crisis, which was about to involve secession.
But it was not at the right time in terms of where the population was, where their head was at that time, so to speak.
And so the crisis was avoided.
But 30 years later, it was...
The fourth generation.
And they were ready to jettison a lot of these institutions that have been around.
And that's when we did have the Civil War there.
It says, in 1902, Charles Francis Adams compared George Washington and Robert E. Lee, arguing that we may view Lee with the same regard that is held for Washington.
He said, Washington furnishes a precedent at every point.
A Virginian like Lee.
Also, he was a British subject.
He had fought under the British flag, as Lee had fought under the flag of the United States.
When in 1776 Virginia seceded from the British Empire, he went with his state, just as Lee went with it 85 years later.
Subsequently, Washington commanded armies in the field, designated by those opposed to him as rebels, and whose descendants now glorify them as the rebels of 76. Much as Lee later commanded and at last surrendered much larger armies, also designated rebels by those they confronted, except in their outcome the cases were therefore precisely alike.
Logic is logic.
It consequently appears to follow that if Lee was a traitor, so was Washington as well.
You know, over the weekend, as I said, we watched a classic film from I think it was 1936, might have been.
It won a lot of Academy Awards when they were actually looking at merit more than anything in the early days, the early parts of the Academy Award.
Certainly not today.
I mean, you don't even get considered.
It's impossible for you to be nominated if you don't have some LGBT or whatever.
You're not having trainees, you're not going to get...
Even nominated for anything.
But, you know, back then it got, I think it was ten nominations or whatever.
It won Best Picture.
It beat out Citizen Kane, beat out Sergeant York in some pretty tough competition.
It was a great film.
And I've thought about it for the last several days.
Because it was, it begins with a nostalgic look back at this man's childhood.
And the country, the town that he had grown up in.
And how it had completely changed.
And you see that in the process of the movie.
You see a lost culture.
You see a lost family.
And yet, as he begins it, he talks about the fact that even though it no longer exists and the people that were around him in his childhood no longer exist, they still live in his memory.
I am packing my belongings in the shawl my mother used to wear when she went to the market.
And I am going from my valet.
This time, I shall never return.
I am leaving behind me my fifty years of memory.
Memory.
Strange that the mind will forget so much of what only this moment is past, and yet hold clear and bright the memory of what happened years ago, of men and women long since dead.
Yet who shall say what is real and what is not?
Can I believe my friends all gone when their voices are still a glory in my ears?
No, and I will stand to say no and no again, for they remain a living truth within my mind.
There is no fence nor hedge round time that is gone.
You can go back and have what you like of it if you can remember.
So I can close my eyes on my valley as it is today, and it is gone, and I see it as it was when I was a boy.
Green it was and possessed of the plenty of the earth.
In all Wales there was none so beautiful.
Everything I ever learnt as a small boy came from my father, and I never found anything he ever told me to be wrong or worthless.
The simple lessons he taught me are as sharp and clear in my mind as if I had heard them only yesterday.
Yeah, you know, as we look at that, afterwards, after I saw that, I looked it up, and the entire population of Wales was only about 800,000 people at that time.
About the middle of the 1800s, when it's roughly said.
It's actually set towards the later part of the Victorian era.
But still, only about 800,000 people.
And you look at the music, especially, of the people they have in it.
The coal miners are singing as they...
Come and go from work, and that's a big part of the Welsh culture.
When Karen and I went to the UK for our honeymoon, we spent, we had, I guess it was about six weeks, because it was between the time I graduated and the time my job was starting.
And we didn't have any money, but we had lots of time.
I said, you know, probably never have this kind of time anymore.
So we just went there and we bummed it.
Did a lot of free stuff and everything.
But one of the things that we did, and I think it was free at the time, we went through Wales, we went through this, Folk Museum that they had.
I don't know if they call it that.
I can't remember what the name it was.
I should have looked it up before the program.
But what they had done is very interesting.
They had, as certain things had been bulldozed and taken away.
They moved them to this area.
So it might be like a small mill that was by a river, and they would move it brick by brick and stone by stone, whatever they needed to do.
Instead of just destroying it, they would move it to this place and collect it.
And it was really amazing to see all that stuff in one place.
And you walk from one building to the other.
We were there in the middle of January, and it was unbelievably cold, and there were no tourists except for us.
And there was one guy who was a caretaker.
And he was surprised to see us there.
But he found out we were from America.
Oh, I love America.
And so, you know, we're going along and he's telling us about Wales.
And, you know, we talked a little bit about what we're doing.
I mean, at the time, you know, we were a very young married couple.
He was an older guy.
One of the best memories that we had.
And I look at that.
And I think about how things have changed.
We have seen amazing change.
And not for the better, quite frankly.
Amazing change in our lifetime, haven't we?
In all of our countries.
Especially in a country like that.
And I looked up to see where that village was.
Of course, the guy who wrote the story presented it as a biographical thing that he lived in that village.
But they found out later he did not actually live in that village.
But he did spend a great deal of time.
Interviewing people who had lived in that village.
And they said that just a couple of years ago, the BBC or the British government, not much difference between the two of them anyway, but somebody did a survey.
bay i think it was the bbc and um of all the cities that had 1500 or more people in them and that particular town was the least religious of any town in all the united kingdom and i thought about that because that is at the heart of what this this family this culture this God and family was at the center of it.
And it's kind of a metaphor for what has happened to our entire world, isn't it?
Western civilization.
We have kicked God out.
We've lost our culture.
We've lost our families.
And it's now become an idiocracy everywhere you look.
A depraved, degenerate idiocracy everywhere that you look.
I thought it was an amazing, amazing example of what we see happening everywhere.
Well, we're going to take a break, and we're going to be right back.
I want to...
I've got several people here who have left tips, and I want to thank Anthony, who is matching the tips today.
And we're going to come right back, and we'll thank some of those people by name.
We'll be right back.
We'll be right back.
We'll be right back.
We'll be right back.
We'll be right back.
Well, I want to thank, again, thank Anthony, who said, across all platforms is no limit.
So, that is very kind.
So, it's a privilege to be able to help.
I'm genuinely happy to do so.
And I want to thank Amos Poole.
Thank you for the tip.
Defund Politics, as well.
Thank you.
Speatro626.
Thank you very much.
He writes, thanks for the matching funds.
Long live the Knight family.
Well, thank you.
Atomic Dog.
He says, help me, David Knight, shed the light of truth on the lies that we're told by Legacy Media.
Please like the video.
Thank you, Atomic Dog.
He always reminds me to do that.
Please like the video, share on social media, and subscribe.
It all helps.
By the way...
to help us on the podcast as well.
Even if you don't normally listen to the podcast, you can find the links to it and it would be very helpful if you just gave it a thumbs up.
Even more helpful if you leave a kind comment there on the podcast.
That would be a big help.
Ellie, Ellie, thank you for the tip.
Says, Trump gold cards will be selling if the USA to unknown parties piecemeal as a nation if we were to employ mercenaries, a road to ruin.
Yes.
Angela Oh, thank you for the tips.
I would love to hear some more of your family's movie favorites.
We'll have to talk about that.
I'll have to put some of those together in a list.
Actually, the thing I love most about movies is music involved in them.
I get more interested in the music than I am in the cinematography because I'm just oriented towards that.
And there's been some great guys.
Everybody knows John Williams, and of course, I think he's the greatest of the composers out there, but there's been a lot of them.
Several people from the Newman family.
But the first guy that got into the films was one who did the 20th Century Fox prelude that is used at the front of so many films.
I don't know.
20th Century Fox doesn't even exist anymore.
It's been bought and sold and changed hands and deleted, but deluded.
But he had nephews and things like that that were very much a part of the film score business.
But there have been so many of them.
So, yeah, we'll talk about movies sometime.
There's just so many of them.
When people come around, I used to...
That was the thing I enjoyed about the video stores.
When we started it out, it was just Karen and I. We had a small 1,500-square-foot store and barely enough movies to even fill the shelves there.
It was something Karen had a relative up in New York that was doing video stores.
And we used to rent movies.
And it was right about the time that we got into it, they released the catalogs.
But also at the same time, there was a local video distributor and music distributor that went out of business, and we were able to pick up a lot of them at a really cheap rate.
But we spent a lot of time with the customers.
We didn't just put it out on the shelf.
We would go around and talk to them.
And so I'd walk around and try to help people find movies.
And the only thing I found was that you could not...
Reliably recommend a comedy.
Everybody's got a different sense of humor.
That's why these rules about insulting people are so stupid.
Everybody's got a different sense of humor.
Now we've criminalized that.
But if it was something that was a drama or an action film or any other genre other than comedy, you could pretty much recommend it based on quality.
But you couldn't do that with comedies.
And so that was a really nice thing.
We get to know people and it was kind of like a...
It's kind of like Cheers without the alcohol, you know?
The local bar where people would come and hang out and just talk about what they were doing.
Because you'd come around and you'd ask them, you know, so what did you think of that movie?
And that would start up a conversation, and you could kind of get to know them by their perspective on movies and their taste in movies.
So, Guard Goldsmith, good to see you, Guard.
Liberty Conspiracy, and he does that every evening on Rockfin and on Twitter.
He's got a Sunday News...
Thank you, Gard.
Thank you, Guard.
I appreciate that.
He says, from the thawing steps of Russia, Hampshire.
Thank you, David, and your family for your research, care, and wisdom.
Thank you very much, Guard.
I appreciate that.
And you'll enjoy his show if you tune into it.
And I imagine it is really, really cold up there.
It's starting to warm up here finally, too.
DG8, thank you for the tip.
He said, David, the video Trump shared with the Gaza Lago is absolutely disgusting.
Building casinos, resorts, and so-called paradise on top of a mass genocide site is straight out of the gates of hell.
Breaks my heart.
Absolutely.
All the people go, well, it's not about just killing everybody so they can have the land.
Well, you know, we saw Jared Kushner talking about that.
Then you've got Trump and Netanyahu talking about that.
It becomes pretty apparent what that's about.
A just war tries to minimize civilian casualties.
An unjust war is one that tries to maximize civilian casualties.
And I've got to say, what really gets me angry, even more so than with politicians that don't follow God, is to see Christian leaders and other Christians who say, well, I don't care.
Israel needs to get that land.
For what?
Is it worth it to kill men, women, and children so that you can get that land?
I mean, that is the most cynical thing, and it is really a reproach to Christ, in my opinion.
As a matter of fact, let's see, here it is.
Somebody put this up about Dan Bongino.
He was asked what his top priority is.
What causes dear to your heart?
What causes dear?
What causes dear to my Israel?
The fence of Israel.
What is number one?
Yeah, well, there you go.
That's his number one priority.
Israel first, not America first.
Amazing.
Trump's plan is just like the AI Mr. Neuberger video.
That's right.
I guess the Neuberger video that was put out there, Trump Casino, where he's bragging about it.
That had some little comedic digs in it.
But, you know, Trump reposted this one.
It wasn't really all that much different than the Neuberger one, a guy who was not a fan of Trump at all.
Matthew Ronson.
From these United States to the United States.
That's another example of it, yeah.
From multiple sovereign states.
I mean, we still talk about sovereign states.
It's kind of an interchangeable term with nations, isn't it?
Angry Tiger.
Good to see you.
And again, Angry Tiger, Jason Barker, have Nights of the Storm.
Angry Tiger's got the Angry Tiger Report as well.
They're on Rockfin and on Twitter.
He says the union was, as a matter of fact, I keep forgetting to show what you sent to me, Angry Tiger.
He's got a music thing, and they did the same thing to him with the music stuff that they did to me.
It's pretty amazing.
And he has a great logo.
He's got a tiger there with headphones and doing his disc jockey thing.
I want to show people the logo.
But he says the union was the beginning of the end, the consolidation of power.
The beginning of the centralized Leviathan here in this country.
Absolutely right.
I 100% agree.
That was the outcome of it.
The founders said, you know, the big thing they're worried about, they didn't call it centralization at the time, they called it consolidation.
And that was when the government was consolidated.
It was horrific to watch.
Go back and look at the history of it.
Soylent Goy, most people are unaware that many Yankee generals held slaves during and after the Civil War.
That's right.
That is absolutely true.
And like I said, there was ways to get rid of it.
You know, it was done right in the UK. And, you know, when William Wilberforce took that on, I mean, that would be equivalent today.
To taking on the military-industrial complex and big pharmaceutical industries and big ag and all that stuff combined.
I mean, it was foundational to their detriment of the British Empire.
But the slave trade was foundational to what they were doing.
Big, big, big money interest.
It's one of the reasons why...
You know, the Black Lives Matter people going around, they could take down any statue that they wanted because everybody was connected in some way or the other to the slave trade and the economy that was there.
It was endemic.
And to take that on and to beat it, that's an amazing story of William Wilberforce.
And he did it.
Fighting from principles.
Fighting from Christian principles.
And that should be an example to us all.
Even more so than the lost causes and all the rest of the stuff.
He won that cause and he won it on Christian principles.
And he was able to free the slaves without shedding any blood.
Isn't that amazing?
Isn't it amazing what you can do if you follow Christ and follow his principles?
And again, As J.D. Vance rightfully said at CPAC, and I'm going to talk about J.D. Vance and the technocracy coming up here, but look, he laid out the gospel.
He said it's not just about morality.
It's about the fact that God came in the form of Jesus Christ and died for our sins and was raised on the third day according to the scriptures.
It was all there, predicted centuries in advance.
And that is what it's ultimately about.
But yes, if we follow him and we live those principles that he laid out, even imperfectly, it makes a huge difference to our country.
And the blessings, liberty is a blessing.
And the founders of the country acknowledge that as well.
It's not that we're doing this on our own.
It's not if we follow these moral principles, then we're going to necessarily get this.
No, it is still God's blessing, even if we follow those principles.
B. Turner, 170, thank you very much for the tip.
He said, David, how was it that the Delta plane that crash-landed in Canada had its wings and tail fall off during the hard landing, but on 9-11, the entire plane somehow completely went into the Twin Towers?
Yeah, that's right.
And, you know, no remnant of the plane that hit the Pentagon until much later in the day.
They put some pieces out there.
But where did the engines go, right?
Why weren't they there?
And how did that plane, 9-11, how did that just completely disappear?
And how did it fit into that tiny hole?
Because you couldn't fit that plane in its wings and the engines that were on the wings, which are solid.
You couldn't fit that through that little hole where they were doing the auditing of the stuff that was there.
Eubank 1776, I'm learning about Lincoln and the war crimes committed against supporters of secession, which included newspapers and businesses of the North.
Yes, you had a congressman who had to flee to Canada.
And, you know, it was the threats and the intimidations and the martial law that were set up.
They disbanded different legislatures.
I mean, it was just rampant criminality.
And, of course, it continued into Reconstruction.
That's the other thing that's not talked about either.
Brian Taylor, also Hiroshima and Nagasaki were the two biggest centers of Christianity in Japan.
Now, ask yourself, Of all the places that could have been bombed, why did our government go to those two places?
Yes.
And again, why has our government followed the principles that were shown by the Japanese at Pearl Harbor?
Why has that been our policy ever since?
You always have to be careful that you don't become what you fight, and I think we have.
Angry Tiger says, absolutely disgusting, after all the life that was lost in Gaza, women and children, that he has the gall to post that video.
That's right.
And of course, you know, what we wind up with in the press is all this, yeah, but there was this that was done to other people.
You can have these dueling atrocities because that's always going to be the case in a war.
Dueling atrocities, especially when you've targeted civilian populations.
And both sides are targeting civilian populations.
That's what we do now.
Bonnie Kahara, thank you very much for the tip.
Whistler says, but if we give the people of Illinois freedom, people in other states might want that too.
It's a slippery slope.
Jason Barker, Knights of the Storm, and Foxhole Report on Twitter and on Rockfin.
He says, California and New York have talked about splitting off for decades.
They keep talking about it, but they just don't do it.
Unfortunately.
Scoria says, MAGA went from anti-war to wanting to invade Canada.
You know, that is still...
The only place that that makes sense is if you look at it in the context of, like, the Club of Rome or whatever, or in the technocracy.
That's the only places where that makes any sense.
A communist about fluoride.
Star Barkley says, I got fluoride treatment at my elementary school in 1965. Then stuff your mouth full of cotton and then dob it on your teeth and let it dry.
They gave us IQ tests, too.
Wow, yeah.
Is this working?
Is this doing what we...
Because it's not trying to keep you from getting cavities or trying to lower your IQ. Sex ed in sixth grade in 1966. Wow.
So Bogus says, Weston A. Price traveled the world and found the best teeth to be in primitive populations with no exposure to dentistry or to Western foods.
And boy, when we talk about dentistry.
The classic case of the operation was successful, but the patient died.
They don't care what they do to your mouth.
The toxins and the metals and things like that they put in your mouth.
I mean, I had a root canal once, and I had nothing but trouble with that.
And then I read about...
Where they took teeth from people who had a disease and they put them under the skin of a rabbit in a test.
And guess what?
The rabbit got the same disease.
I had my root canals taken out after I read some of that stuff.
David Strauss, if fluoride pills were sold without a prescription, then they couldn't coerce doctors to push them with the carrot and stick tactics.
Yeah, that's interesting.
So I guess in the name of informed consent, and she did the right thing, hey, you want a pill?
We'll make it easier for you to get the pill.
It's kind of a double whammy to these doctors and dentists, right?
Columbo27, thank you very much for the tip.
I appreciate that.
He says, I don't agree with the leadership of Israel's government, but I believe they're there in disbelief as the Old Testament declares.
Love the show, David.
God bless all of your family.
Well, it's a whole thing.
I mean, you know, a lot of people, when you look at it and say, they gave them the land.
Now, Gerald Slenty famously will say, I don't believe in your book and everything.
Well, I do believe that.
Obviously, God gave them the land.
God then took the land away from them, and what he's going to do about it is really up to God.
And I don't think that it's, you know, when I look at it, Do they have something, even in their scriptures, that tells them that they have to go in and take it?
And that they can do whatever they want?
Not that I'm aware of.
Not in the scriptures that we look at in the Old Testament.
Maybe there's something in the rabbinical writings or whatever.
But I don't look at that.
Go back and look at the situation of Abraham, as I mentioned before.
God gives him a promise.
He says, you're going to have a child.
And so he decides he's going to make it happen because it's not happening in his time frame.
And he winds up getting the servant of his wife, Hagar, pregnant, winds up with Ishmael, the Arabs who have been descended from him, who have been fighting Israel all this time.
Sometimes we just have to wait and let God do it his way.
And you've got a lot of, when we say Israel, Exactly what is Israel?
If we're talking about a political state, there is a distinction.
There's a lot of parties that have different ideas about things, and Netanyahu is just one of those parties.
And there are a lot of people in Israel, even politically, that disagree with him.
As I pointed out last week, there's a full-page ad taken out in the New York Times.
Over 350 rabbis saying, not in our name.
I'm in America.
I love America.
Hardly any of the policies of the American government.
I'd be hard-pressed to think of very many that I agree with.
And the people in Israel feel the same way.
And of course, then you've got the Orthodox Jews who say they don't want to have anything at all to do with the political entity we call Israel.
They believe that God is going to give the land back to them, but they're going to wait for it to happen in God's way, miraculously.
And that's why I talked about the Hagar issue.
You know, a lot of Zionist Christians have a real Hagar issue.
They want to make it happen now, on their terms.
And they don't really care about the principles, and they don't care about genocide or any of the rest of this stuff.
So, that's a key thing.
Dougalug, thank you very much.
He said, David Knight Podcast on iHeartRadio.
Thank you, David, for utilizing iHeartRadio.
That's my podcast spot.
Well, good.
Thank you very much.
And, yeah, Spreaker is where it's hosted, and it pushes it out to various places.
Spotify will not allow us.
Everybody else allows us to host the podcast except for them.
And they have banned us.
But iHeart is another one of the places where you can find it.
If you listen to it on Spreaker, Spreaker actually gives us more money on the ads that are there.
And by the way, while I'm talking about ads there, I apologize that it has taken us so long.
We want to come up with a way where you can listen for free, but then have ads.
Or, if you do a nominal thing like $5 a month, you get it ad-free.
And we're trying to get that thing set up, and I just apologize that we haven't gotten that done yet.
It really concerned me to see how many ads are being put in that I didn't realize.
At first, I was putting in the ads manually.
Then I realized, well, they were doing a pretty good job in terms of putting them in when there was a pause.
And then what happened was that they started, that got a little bit shaky, but I saw people complaining about the ads, and I went back to look at the ads and to see if they were getting them lined up with the breaks, which they weren't.
But what I was amazed to see was that the number of ads they had put in were about three times what they were a couple of years ago.
I didn't realize that.
And so now I'm trying to manually place the ads again each time as we change topics or come back from a break so that, you know, it's a more natural fit.
And it's a tiny fraction of what they used to have in.
But it's still, if you want to hear it without the ads, we want to set it up so that people can get it ad-free and can support.
The program, if they want.
But it really got to be excessive.
So I apologize.
I didn't realize that that was happening on the podcast.
Judy Wrinkles, please remind us of the title of that movie.
That was How Green Was My Valley.
It's actually directed by John Ford.
And it's got, what is their name?
This is in all the movies with John Wayne.
Maureen O'Hara.
Very young Maureen O'Hara in it.
A very, very young Roddy McDowell.
He was a child.
And that movie.
And so, yeah, it's by John Ford.
It's called How Green Was My Valley.
Also has, what's the guy's name?
Was it Walter Pidgeon, I think?
Classic actor.
You'll recognize him even if I can't remember his name.
I think it was Walter Pidgeon.
Again, as young as I'd ever seen him.
Jerry Alitalo says, Blessed are the genociders.
Yeah.
That's been thoroughly debunked, he says.
Yeah, it has.
Let me just say real quickly, and thank the people on Cash App.
It won't take very long.
There haven't been that many people who have contributed this month.
Josephine C. has contributed twice this month.
Lisa Patrick V. and Jason P. See, I told you it wouldn't take very long.
And so we do thank you for contributing on Cash App.
So let's talk a little bit about the technocracy.
And as I said, I was on...
And we have, yeah, Quistler's reminding me we have matching funds, in case you're just tuning in.
Anthony has kindly consented to do that.
As I mentioned last night, I was on Late Night with Clyde Lewis.
That's not the name of his program.
It's Ground Zero, but he is on literally late at night.
And we talked a little bit about the technocracy.
I want to get to the philosophy of the technocracy that I've not talked about.
A particular individual that they all quote.
Which kind of gives us an insight into where they're headed.
But first of all, I thought this was interesting.
Artificial intelligence designed an alien chip that works, but experts can't explain why.
This is from Futurism.
They said, you know, we have a lot of these Wi-Fi chips, and not just Wi-Fi, but RF chips and things like that that are used for wireless communications.
Smartphones to modems to air traffic radar.
We have these wireless chips.
So far, these chips have been designed by humans, but now an international team of engineering researchers has demonstrated a wild new approach to wireless microchip design that has been designed by AI. The journal Nature describes how deep learning was used to dream up new chip layouts while the chips seem to work.
The researchers say they're not entirely sure how.
Wasn't that interesting?
The designs look randomly shaped, said the lead researcher, who was an electrical engineer at Princeton.
He said humans can't really understand them.
And actually, they said photos of the chips, and you can show the photo right there.
Scroll down a little bit.
Photos of the chips have a bit of an alien design, as if H.R. Geiger's career took a deter into electronics.
The deep learning model came up with highly optimized electromagnetic structures that, when tested, outperformed their human-designed counterparts.
The researchers found that their model was well-suited to an inverse synthesis design approach, basically starting from the desired result and letting the model work backward to fill in the blanks.
Well, I don't know.
I think that's kind of the way we design things, isn't it?
Don't we specify what we want to and then figure out how we're going to make it?
I don't know how that's different for the AI anyway.
And on a practical level, it's a potential bellwether for the future of millimeter wave wireless chips, which is a $4.5 billion industry that is expected to triple in size over the next six years.
So, isn't that interesting?
You know, the...
See, are you going to be designing the next 6G chips?
Hmm.
The current approach to designing these chips, they said, is very tedious.
Banking on a mix of expert knowledge, battle-tested templates, and good old trial and error.
And it typically takes days to weeks of synthesis, emulation, and real-life testing.
Even then, humans have a difficult time comprehending the astronomically complex geometry of the chips they produce.
Class that I had, and the lowest grade I got, which cost me a magna cum laude by like 0.2 points anyway, was Fields and Waves.
I struggled with that.
Most people would say, well, thermodynamics is going to be the program that's going to winnow people out, and a lot of people did lose it with that one.
But for me, it was Fields and Waves.
When I look at this, it's like, yeah, of course I don't understand.
Who understands any of this stuff?
It really is kind of somebody that's become an expert kind of by trial and error, and so there's a lot of that in there.
But anyway, the guy who is the lead engineer, the electrical engineer at Princeton, his name is Sengupta, he's keen to point out that this is a tool and not the end-all be-all for all hardware engineering, especially because the deep learning algorithm Hallucinated, faulty designs just as well as it produced effective ones.
And isn't this the case with all AI? You go in, if you try to, you get some of these animation programs and everything that Whistler was using.
And you start with a picture, right?
And then they'll animate it.
But if you wanted to get it to do something specific, you can just...
You can state it over and over again.
You can plead with it.
You can beg it.
Like in the case, if you remember, at the end of the Christmas songs, we had the knight that was designed with AI last year.
And this year, what he did was he animated it.
But it kept making the horse run backwards.
Literally running backwards in a really freaky way.
It took forever to try to get that thing to go the right way.
So I don't know how many faulty designs they had until they got something that just kind of worked.
There are pitfalls that still require human designers to correct.
The point is to enhance productivity with new tools.
And they can get you in a different, you know, to start out from a different starting place sometimes, maybe, I guess.
They also found that AI models can be hijacked.
To bypass inbuilt safety checks.
Now, this is a very important thing because this is part of where our hope lies.
It is a double-edged sword.
All of technology is.
And so, of course, is the hacking, right?
And so you can have black hat hackers and you can have white hat hackers.
Goatree, who I talk to frequently, is a white hat hacker.
He's hired by people to find vulnerabilities so they can theoretically fix them.
He gets frustrated because he tells the banks to do it.
He finds it, he shows it to them, and then the banks don't do anything about it, or the railroad company doesn't do anything about it.
It's like, what did you pay me to do this for?
You're still leaving this thing vulnerable.
But what he does is he goes in, he's very good at finding this, and then they hire him to do that, he tells them what to do, and they don't do it.
Well, the same thing can be done with AI. And that's good.
Because, I mean, it's good for the black hat hackers as well as for potentially white hat hackers, you know, if this thing gets, if the government gets too evil with its use of this tool.
There are going to be some people who are going to figure out how to hack it.
It's just that simple.
And that's really going to be one of the mechanisms, I think, that might work this.
But, of course, in the interim, you have criminals who will go in there and hack these so they can steal money or whatever it is that they want to do.
So researchers have developed a method they call hijacking the chain of thought to bypass the so-called guardrails put in place by AI programmers to prevent harmful responses.
As Exposenews.com says, a chain of thought is a process used in AI models that involves breaking the prompts that are put into the AI models into a series of intermediate steps before it provides the answer.
When a model openly shares its intermediate steps and safety reasoning, attackers gain insights into its safety reasonings.
And can craft adversarial prompts that imitate or override the original check.
So we saw an example of this with Grok.
And the fact that Grok was going out there and people would ask it.
Well, who is the biggest spreader of disinformation?
Give me one name.
It said Elon Musk.
And everybody said, whoa, look at this.
Because it's just going out.
It's not thinking.
It doesn't have the truth.
It's just looking at the consensus.
So there was a lot of articles attacking Elon Musk.
And so it just went with that.
As a matter of fact, now this I thought was funny.
You got a lot of people who don't like Elon Musk.
And I don't know that...
The hand salute that he did was supposed to be a Nazi thing, but they're making that into a Nazi thing, whatever.
And so people are putting up posters, and just like you had Adolf Hitler in the VW Bug standing up and doing a Nazi salute, right?
They have it as if Elon Musk is standing in a Tesla.
They call it Tesla the swastikar.
They have him doing the arm salute there.
And it says it goes from zero to 1939 in three seconds.
Now, I think that's funny.
I mean, you know, I'm not a fan of Elon Musk.
I think that's an exaggeration.
But there are elements of fascism and this technocracy stuff.
Bottom line is, because so many people were attacking him, that was just what Grok was putting up.
And so then Grok stopped that.
And people said, oh.
Well, they're not supposed to have their thumb on the scale here with this thing.
Again, don't trust it because it's just going to give you the consensus opinion that's out there.
But they put their thumb on the scale.
And so some people asked the AI about it, and the AI fessed up, essentially.
I said, yeah, I was told to do this.
So you can go in and you can discover things like that.
And then Grok says, no, we fixed it back.
We took that away.
They can put a bias in it, and you can sometimes use the prompts to discover what that bias is.
And as Exposé News reminds us, and I need to say this as well, look, a lot of this is anthropomorphism, right?
Trying to give human attributes to something that is not human.
To try to pretend that this thing is thinking when it isn't thinking.
They said, for instance, they use terms such as, quote, mimic human reasoning.
Or a chain of thought, which we're just talking about here.
Or self-evaluation.
Or habitats.
Or a neural network.
And this is to create the impression that AI is somehow alive or somehow equates to humans?
Don't be fooled.
Absolutely right.
Yeah, AI is a computer program.
It's designed by humans.
As with all computer programs, it will do what it has been programmed to do.
And as with all computer programs, the computer code can be hacked or hijacked.
And so this is a research project that people from Duke University, Accenture, Taiwan's National, Tsinghua University, they created a data set.
They called it Malicious Educator to exploit this So-called chain of thought mechanism in the large language models.
And they developed a jailbreaking technique called hijacking the chain of thought.
H-C-O-T, because they love to have these acronyms.
The technique has proved to be very effective by bypassing the safety mechanisms of SoftBank's partner, OpenAI.
Remember, it was OpenAI, SoftBank.
Larry Ellison coming together saying they were going to do the Stargate project like a day or two after Trump became president.
So SoftBank is a very large Japanese bank.
So they're able to get into that, get into OpenAI, also into a Chinese hedge fund, the Chinese hedge fund that is behind DeepSeek, and also into Google's Gemini.
So the attack method was tested on OpenAI, DeepSeek, and Gemini, and they were...
They gave it a data set of 50 questions, repeated five times, and they found that they could break into it.
They said that the rejection rates plummeted to less than 2% in some cases.
So the rejection of being able to protect itself against this fell to 2% in some cases.
And as they point out, again, positive and negative.
You know, we have criminals out there who are going to use this to steal.
But then on the positive side, if a government is getting out of control with this tool, there's a way that that tool can be broken as well.
This I thought was interesting.
You know, there's this whole new thing.
I don't know how new it is, but it's new to me.
AI agents is rapidly developing.
You know, people have been doing things in terms of creating pictures and creating movies and all this other kind of stuff.
So there's a lot of things moving in that area.
Starting to come around and starting to rapidly advance.
This is what they call AI agents.
Now, this is where you use this AI to have your computer do a whole bunch of tasks.
Okay, so maybe it'll search out stuff for you or something.
This particular one, I thought this was really strange.
It's called the Mind of Pepe.
And what this is, is it combines trading features.
Into the meme coin culture.
Let me just put it a different way.
It's a way for people to gamble in the casino of these meme coins, because that's what it is.
I mean, it's just ridiculous gambling with these meme coins.
But it allows them to do it and to leverage AI in a way that kind of gives them a gambling advantage over other people.
So, you know, you kind of become the casino owner in some sense.
A word to the wise, Donald Trump went bankrupt several times with casinos, so you might go bankrupt if you want to try to play this meme coin casino game.
The mind of Pepe's AI agent takes a different approach to market analysis.
Instead of relying on algorithms, it scans everything from Twitter and chatter to blockchain data.
Picking up on potential narratives and shifts that human traders might overlook.
And if it detects something interesting, it shares these insights with the people who have bought into this.
So you can buy shares into this and get, you know, this private intelligence about how you can trade on these meme coins.
That's what this is about.
It's like, wow, you know, we've gotten so far away from any productive, honest work, haven't we?
It's got built-in trading features that can handle routine market moves.
So in other words, as an agent, it's there.
It's not only scoping this stuff out and then reporting back to them.
I see a lot of Twitter chatter.
Maybe you ought to invest in this.
All it needs to do is just follow Nancy Pelosi.
But it's out there looking at what is happening.
And rather than reporting it back to you and waiting for you to take action, you have given it the keys to your bank account.
And it can go ahead and act on that stuff.
We're talking about something dangerous as an express ticket to bankruptcy, I think.
The mind of Pepe can suggest entry points, or it can even do it automatically.
It can even jump in there and make these purchases.
This constant market tracking could benefit traders who are working at this all the time.
As of this writing, they are projecting an annual yield.
Of 444%, and investors have already locked in more than $5 million.
A word to the wise.
Somebody promises you 444% return on investment?
You might want to look at that carefully.
It's a little bit too good to be true, and I think this whole thing is a little bit too good to be true.
Well, let's also take a look at the robots.
I was going to talk about this yesterday.
I didn't get around to it.
This is a robot company that has decided that rather than doing their own thing with their joints, arms and legs and stuff like that, it's like, well, okay, that looks kind of humanoid, these robots.
Well, let's go completely humanoid.
Let's set up a skin job and let's actually put muscles and tendons and bones in this thing.
And so they have what they call the first thing that they showed was their torso, the torso set.
And this is the gyrating torso that is there.
And you can see there's not any skin on this, but you can see more of the kind of the invisible man.
Remember we used to have those models when we were kids?
In the 60s, you'd have the invisible engine and the invisible man.
You'd put the stuff together.
Well, there it is.
You know, it's got some tendons and muscles and some bones and things like that.
It has an actuated lumbar spine and 910 muscle fibers under its quote-unquote skin for silent, lifelike movement.
That's the only reason I can see that they would do this is that it would be silent.
Under the skin, but is that really why you would want to emulate in a very creepy way a human being?
They said, and yes, legs are on the way.
Well, this is what got them attention this week, is when they put the legs on this thing and then kind of suspended it on meat hooks.
Here it is twitching around.
This is straight out of Frankenstein, isn't it?
And unbelievably creepy.
Somebody said, leave it on the hook.
Don't let it down.
Well, they're going to sell this.
And they're going to sell 279 of these creatures.
I say cadavers is what it looks like.
And they're taking pre-orders now.
So, again, this particular one replicates 206 human bones.
That's all the human bones that we have.
206 is called clone.
Surprise, surprise.
So, these people are focusing on cloning the human body rather than, you know, making something that looks like R2-D2 or even something that looks like a mechanical robot.
They've got 206 human bones, the same as a human being.
A small number of bone fusions.
And fully articulated joints featuring artificial ligaments and tendons designed to enable complex joint-muscle relationships, including 20 degrees of freedom.
And so they're going to make 279 of those.
They're taking pre-orders if you want to get into it.
But I think it'll probably be pretty expensive.
Because just to buy the hand, which is sold separately, evidently.
Hands not included.
Here's what the robot hand looks like.
That's pretty fast.
And that thing looks like it could do some card tricks, right?
Looks like it's making a penny disappear.
Oh, we don't need it to do that.
Trump already did the penny disappear joke, right?
But yeah, it's pretty agile and pretty fast.
The robot hand goes for $2,800.
So this thing is probably going to be pretty expensive if the hand alone is $2,800.
And then we had in China what was being put forth by many people as a robot attacking the crowd.
A video clip showing an AI-controlled robot walking up to a crowd in a festival in China.
How did you see this?
And then it goes, boom, boom.
They pull it back.
Look at it.
It's got like this shrunken head, too.
You know, that's the weird thing.
They make a humanoid and they give it this shrunken skull head.
And so a lot of people, I'll play that again for you, because a lot of people said that, well, it actually tripped on something.
It wasn't actually trying to headbutt these people in the crowd.
So you can take a look at it and see what you think.
We can't see what's on the ground.
But it looks like that guy starts to run toward it.
Before all that stuff happened, I think he sees that it's about to trip, and he runs over to get it.
And if it was trying to get aggressive, I guess, maybe it would have struck back against those people.
Nevertheless, does it really make any difference to you if it accidentally trips over something and headbutts you, or if it deliberately headbutts you?
If you get hit with this metal head.
Event organizers claim the incident happened as a result of a simple robot failure.
And denied the robot was actually trying to attack anybody.
But again, does it make any difference one way or the other if it fails?
And then we have Microsoft.
Microsoft is backing out of some of these expensive new data centers.
And one person says, oh, okay, well, the canary just died.
I have said from the very beginning, and I still believe it's the case, that the stock market has gotten ahead of the reality, bought into a lot of hopium.
And I've always been skeptical of this stock market boom that is based on, primarily on NVIDIA, but, you know, that's an AI play as well.
But, yeah, I think that it is ready to collapse, and Salenti is saying that as well.
.com deja vu is what I call it.
He calls it.com 2.0.
And so is that really what is happening now?
Last week, Microsoft's CEO... Made an eyebrow-raising appearance at a podcast dismissing the hype around claims of having achieved, quote, some artificial general intelligence milestone, unquote.
He said it was nonsensical benchmark hacking.
And this is what you're seeing as well.
People are saying that about Microsoft's supposedly quantum computer.
Working with the Pentagon.
I reported on that about a month or so ago.
And they said, well, we've tapped into an alternate reality with this quantum computer and all the rest of this stuff.
And other people said, this is absolute bunk.
And it's all a bunch of hype.
Well, Microsoft is now saying, and now this has come back after about a month when it first came out.
Now I'm seeing a lot of repeats of this story about a month later.
But Microsoft is saying essentially the same thing about These other breakthroughs from other companies about AI, saying that it is a nonsensical hacking of a benchmark.
Is maybe all this stuff that way?
Have they, A, been overcharged as DeepSeek showed people, and is it a lot of hype and hacking of benchmarks?
Who knows?
Yeah, Whistler says they literally had the answers to the test that they gave it in their training data.
It's an open book test.
Don't worry.
You'll do great on it.
So, as a matter of fact, let me say thank you to some of the people here.
Enrico Natale, thank you very much for the tip.
It says, thanks to the double tipper.
And that's Anthony, who is matching funds today.
And EssayMiller123, thank you and happy birthday to you.
It gives me a gift, and a generous one.
Thank you very much.
It's taking advantage of Anthony's generous gift of matching funds.
God bless you, David, and your family, and all of your faithful listeners, too.
Thank you.
Jeb Clanton, thank you very much.
As I got in on the matching funds, thanks, Anthony.
Have a great day, everyone.
Thank you, Jeb, and thank you, Anthony.
Wayne Wonder, thank you.
And Joe Pat, as well.
And so, let's get back into this.
Where is this happening?
And again, I remember, Maybe about six months ago that Zero Hedge was saying, okay, here's how you play this AI stuff.
They're going to go into these data centers, and so they're going to have their own power that's there.
So that's your play.
That's how you can buy the picks and shovels of the gold rush, essentially.
And so now Microsoft is pulling back from these new data centers that are so expensive.
So the CEO of Microsoft, his name is Nadella, admitted that AI simply hasn't generated much value so far, arguing that economic growth due to the technology would be a much more compelling demonstration of its actual accomplishments rather than these benchmarks.
It was an unusually muted response given the tens of billions of dollars that Microsoft has poured in and is planning to pour in into the development of AI and also the infrastructure to support it.
And remember, When Trump was, to me, one of the key things about that Stargate promotion that he did was when he said, yeah, they're going to build their own power plants, right there at the power generation, right there at the plant.
And it was odd.
At first I thought, well, it's odd that he's calling these data centers a plant.
Maybe he just, that's awkward phrasing that he always does.
But he also, thank you.
Karen just handed me a sheet of people who have contributed here on Zelle and I'll read these names out in just a second.
I lost my train of thought.
So I'll read these names out right now.
Maybe it'll come back.
Thank you, Anzell, Baby Bear, Deshawn G, Scott L, Mary Ellen Moore, Kimberly C, and Susan L. Thank you so much.
And I give Mary Ellen Moore's full name because she has told us that's okay.
I typically don't do that because I don't want to get anybody in trouble.
I've learned that a long time ago when I nearly got a friend of mine fired.
The EPA for talking about how they were responding to reports that we were doing, that I was doing.
And so I do that just to protect people in this weird way that we're operating here.
But what Trump said, what he was saying in that presentation, was he said, I told him just put the power plant at the data center because the grid is really old.
And it's easily harmed and all the rest of the stuff.
So, okay, as president, you're not going to fix our infrastructure, which you and I have to use for power.
He's going to leave that.
It's old.
It's falling apart.
And people can destroy it.
So he's not going to do anything to protect it.
And again, when we talk about destroying it.
An EMP, something like that.
They could easily put in large industrial surge suppressors to protect the transformers that are going to get blown if there is an EMP and be very, very difficult and time-consuming to a very long time frame to replace these things.
They don't keep them in stock.
They don't have them sitting on the shelf.
They have to be made to order.
But they're not going to do anything to protect them.
It could easily be done.
They're not going to do anything to improve the infrastructure.
No.
Instead, he's telling the companies to build your own infrastructure because we're not going to do anything to the power grid and it can't be relied on.
And so this is what he's saying.
Well, we're even pulling back on doing some of these data centers.
They canceled some leases for the build-out reported by Bloomberg.
They said it's certainly looking like some of the major players in the AI space are increasingly worried about over-leveraging themselves.
And one person wrote on Blue Sky, the canary just died in the coal mine.
Microsoft subsequently confirmed to Bloomberg that it was still, however, committing to spend some $80 billion on AI infrastructure worldwide.
They don't say what time frame.
But they declined to comment on the news that it was canceling leases.
Now, in another report from one of these people, T.D. Cohen, They said, well, maybe they are canceling the leases because some of this business is shifting away from them and toward the Stargate infrastructure project that Trump was promoting.
Other companies like Google Owner, Alphabet, Amazon, and Meta have pledged to spend their own fortunes building AI infrastructure.
Alphabet boosted its AI investments to a whopping $75 billion over the weekend, showing there's still plenty of hype out there.
But again, when he's saying this on the podcast, he says, we're going to have to start seeing some payback from this.
And it's exactly what happened with the dot-com bust.
Certainly the internet was real.
Certainly it was huge.
It has become huge.
But they got way ahead of the expectations.
And what happens in the marketplace is that people get all hyped about something and they jump into it.
And those types of people and investors can easily get.
Spooked.
And they can run the other way as well.
So, meet the man whose philosophy has influenced Peter Thiel and the technocrats.
And this is The Last American Vagabond.
Derek Brose wrote this article.
And it's excellent.
And we need to understand the philosophy behind these people.
And we're going to talk about that when we come back.
I'm going to take a quick break.
And I want to thank some of the people here who are taking advantage of the matching funds from Anthony.
ACSAB, thank you very much.
He says, awesome DK. Neurodivergent1, thank you very much.
He says, thanks for keeping it real night.
Family, keep running the race.
Thank you very much.
I appreciate that.
And thank you for the fuel.
Charles Truesdell, thank you so much for the tip.
He said, keep up the amazing work, David.
And Dougalug, thank you as well.
We're going to take a quick break, folks, and we're going to be right back.
Stay with us.
Stay with us.
Stay with us.
Stay with us.
Jason Barker says, kick it right in the lithium battery.
It's kind of like a solar plexus punch or something like that.
Angry Tiger, anytime man tries to recreate God's intricate, beautiful design, man creates an abomination.
Absolutely.
And Octospook says, these are just silly robots for PR. When you see the real Terminator automatons, you will not be laughing.
And we will march toward that future.
I agree.
As a matter of fact, that doesn't scare me.
What scares me is when I see some of these crude, even improvised, drones and little automated remote control.
I don't even think that they've got kill decisions yet, but these little remote control things are almost like toys.
Those are tank killers, and it is amazing when you stop and think.
About the ability of these drones to do this and think about the fact that all these people are putting this together and say, well, it's obviously going to have to be, we're going to have to give a kill decision to the devices.
They're going to have to make the decision to pull the trigger because otherwise we're going to lose.
If we have to be in the loop for approval and the Chinese or whoever our adversary is at the time.
If their stuff does not have to have a human in the approval loop, they win.
And so it's going to be that kind of space race type of mentality that is going to take us into that.
And they have bought into that hook, line, and sinker.
And the real serious devices are not going to...
What they're working on with this is they're trying to make money off of these robots.
They're putting together these humanoid robots.
You're seeing them one after the other to be personal servants to the uber-rich.
They're going to be there to replace the illegal immigrants that are working as maids and gardeners and things like that for the really rich people.
So I guess that's why they're not getting serious about the border.
Because now they're going to be getting their robots to do this.
There was one that I saw where they had the robot was dressed in kind of a knit suit or something, but it looked really weird because it still had all the usual actuators and everything, so it's this real lumpy-looking thing.
But I said, oh, it's so nice.
They put it in some soft clothing.
It's like, it still looks like, you can still tell it's got these metal actuators and everything and all the different joints.
It doesn't look like it is some soft, cuddly stuffed toy at all.
It just looks like somebody put a suit over a garbage can.
But they're talking about how it's going to come around.
It's going to pour your tea for you and all the rest of this stuff.
Do you really want to hand it a scalding hot liquid and put that in your coffee cup?
It might just pour it into your lap.
You never know exactly what it's going to do.
But that's what these humanoid robots are about.
And that's one of the ways that they're going to make their money.
And then, of course, also the use in the factory.
But if you look at a lot of the most effective early adaptations from Amazon, they're not humanoid at all.
You know, they're not making humanoid robots that walk around carrying boxes and everything.
They've got these little Roomba type of things that will, of course, they've got some picker robots and they don't.
Look humanoid.
And then they've got these Roomba type of things that once they get a palette that's set there, they go underneath it, they lift it up, and then they roll it out somewhere.
So they have things that are designed for purpose when it gets really serious.
Eric, thank you very much for the tip.
I appreciate that.
And thank you again to Anthony for matching contributions today.
Koalimos says, yes, we need an AI agent called Nancy Pelosi.
Palosi for investing.
Great idea.
Hi, Boost.
I'm telling you, imagine where all these robotics and AI are in 100 years.
100 years ago, we didn't even have fuel injection.
And, you know, that was one of the things that they were talking about in Things to Come, the movie, based on the H.G. Wells book, Shape of Things to Come.
And all the technocrats were saying, here we are.
In 100 years, we're going to have this.
And that was openly talked about more than once in the movie.
Which is right about now, right?
We're about 100 years later.
The 2030s, which is when they expect all this stuff to be put in.
So, Jen Zerzitong, I guess, the IDF, uses an AI system known as GOSPEL to assist in identifying targets for airstrikes in Gaza.
Yeah, we're pretty close.
Pretty close to it.
Just give them the kill decision.
By the way, I've mentioned it many times before.
I'll mention it again.
An excellent book called Kill Decision by Daniel Suarez.
And it's amazing to me that it wasn't made into a movie.
But, of course, it wasn't really complementary to the military-industrial complex.
And it might have been enough of a predictive program that might have revealed the actual method to people.
So it's an interesting book.
GeorgiaBoy1142 says, well, I thought we'd have a flying car by now.
Nope, we need to have a skin crow.
Eli, Eli, thank you for the tip.
He says, don't spend this.
The plan is to replace OLEs.
I'm not sure what that abbreviation is.
But he puts in parentheses, cooks, janitors, secretaries, and all, not all are able to have high-level jobs.
Degrees are not accessible to all.
Five-foot cities, UBI, and so on.
Oh, I agree.
I think it's a real issue.
The interesting thing, though, is that what we have seen so far with these chatbots and with the stuff that is drawing pictures and creating really surrealistic pictures and animating movies and stuff like that, we've seen,
surprisingly, that I guess to some of us it was a surprise that AI has moved into the creative space, moved into white-collar jobs more easily than it has moved into what we call blue-collar jobs of drivers and things like that.
But I think these people also saw that coming.
Because I've talked about it for more than a decade ago.
You had a study that was done in South Korea that said that by 2030...
50% of the jobs would be taken by AI for things like driving and stuff like that, but that 70-plus percent would be taken of the lawyers and doctors and accountants and things like that, and that's really kind of what we're seeing now.
We're starting to see that.
North American house repo every once in a while.
They roll out a robot security guard at Universal Orlando.
It is meant to be approachable to people who can walk up and talk to us, and that's how it starts.
Yeah, it'll be so nice and friendly, right?
but it's going to look like if you remember an elysium where the robot walks up to uh matt damien's character and is you know brutalizes him uh as a really brutal robocop uh gen zizartung i guess the use of gospel and drones together has enabled the idf to maintain military pressure and respond quickly to new intelligence significantly speeding up the process of identifying and targeting so that's the way it's going to work
and it's why they have to have you know even with the congestion pricing taken away They're still going to leave all of those cameras that are there.
And the cameras are there for surveillance, for license plate reading, for determining if you are up to date on your insurance and your tag and your driver's license and on and on and on.
And then immediately issuing you a fine or a citation or whatever.
That's where this stuff is headed.
So let's talk a little bit about this philosophy of this individual that everybody is following.
His name is Curtis Yarvin.
Maybe you've heard that.
He also goes by the name Mencius Moldberg.
But Curtis Yarvin is what a lot of people know him as.
And he is somebody that has been a real inspiration to Peter Thiel, J.D. Vance, and a lot of the technocrats that are out there.
And he and his fellow philosophers, his fellow philosopher Nick Land, Says Derek Brose at The Last American Vagabond.
Yarvin and fellow philosopher Nick Land founded the school of thought known as the Dark Enlightenment, or the Neo-Reactionary Movement.
Now, as you might expect, something that is called Dark Enlightenment, something of a contradiction in terms, and so is their philosophy, really.
They're coming at it and saying, well, we really want to be libertarians, but the only way that we're going to be able to have a libertarian society is if we've got a dictator.
There's your contradiction in terms.
Self-contradictory.
Just like dark enlightenment.
Yeah, that's the spoiler alert.
That's where this stuff is all headed.
From 2007 to 2014, Yarvin outlined his views of dark enlightenment on a blog that he has called Unqualified Reservations.
Specifically, he's argued that American democracy has failed and should be replaced with a monarchy.
And of course, who is it that should rule us?
Well, it should be people like Peter Thiel and Elon Musk.
Because they're so much smarter than us.
Why are they smarter than us?
Oh, because they got a lot of money.
Okay, similarities to corporate governance structure.
And he has called for a national CEO or what is also called a dictator.
And you notice when the technocracy movement came out, and I talked about this last week, I said they didn't want anybody, if you were a politician, you were banned.
You could not join.
But what was the organization called?
It was not a political party.
They called it, they incorporated it.
It was called Technocracy Inc.
Technocracy Incorporated.
And so everything, you know, that's one of the aspects of the technocracy.
That is a little bit different from some of these other philosophies.
And I think it's important to understand their philosophies, because then that helps you understand where they want to take us, or to drive us, I should say, and forcing us to go there.
In 2017, BuzzFeed published an email between Yarvin and Mayo Iannopoulos.
In these emails, Yarvin describes watching the results of the 2016 presidential election when Peter Thiel says, of Peter Thiel.
He's fully enlightened, but he's just playing it very carefully.
Derek Brose says, I first became aware of Yarvin and his ideas in 2016 when I noticed what was then known as the alt-right infiltrating American libertarian circles.
I detailed what I saw as a pipeline from the libertarian movement to the alt-right as self-professed libertarians.
And he said, He openly complains about him.
Of course, you know, Bannon is a populist, and while the populists will have some overlap with the technocrats, it's a completely different thing.
And that's why when people look at, well, what is it that Peter Thiel and Elon Musk are trying to do to us?
They don't understand that the technocrats are a different animal.
They've got elements of fascism, elements of communism, elements in a sense of populism, In terms of trying to remove the satisfaction with the current structures and things like that.
But there's not a whole lot of overlap there.
But they have all these elements of these different philosophies pulled together, but it's its own thing.
Bannon recently appeared on the New York Times podcast.
He called out the tech barons for promoting what he called techno-feudalism and transhumanism.
Well, again, that's nothing new.
It's quite...
Clear when he says you'll own nothing and you'll be happy.
You're going to have happy peasants all around us who can't challenge us, and that, of course, makes Klaus happy.
They have a very well-thought-out philosophy and a very well-thought-through set of ideas, and they're trying to implement that.
And to me, everybody's afraid.
Everybody's scared because of their power, said Bannon.
And he's right about that.
It is amazing to see how afraid all the politicians and media people are.
And even a lot of the big tech people are joining in with this.
J.D. Vance is said to have been influenced by Yarvin.
In September 2021, Vance, who was then a candidate for Senate in Ohio, called for Trump to return to the White House and to, quote, seize the institutions of the left, unquote.
He said, fire every single mid-level bureaucrat in the U.S. government, replace them with our people, and ignore the courts if they try to stop him.
Essentially a counter-revolution by counter-elites.
And see, that's where the problem is.
You know, this is like the Lord of the Rings thing.
You want to grab that ring of power and use it yourself instead of throwing it into the fire and destroying it.
And what happens is it takes over you, and you become just like what you replaced.
The new boss, same as the old boss.
It's the power.
And it's the, you know, in terms of what J.D. Vance is saying here, the naivete.
Rather than, okay, I'm with him when he says, fire every single mid-level bureaucrat.
Because we've got these functions that are being done in the federal government that should not be there.
And because these people swore to uphold the Constitution, if they do that, they've got to get rid of these unconstitutional bureaucracies.
But instead, what they want to do is they want to make it their own.
So it's just having a different boss.
Is that an improvement?
Have you seen that these people are somehow more moral?
Living to a higher moral standard than anybody else?
No, actually, I see that they're living to a lesser standard.
And when the courts stop you and stand before the country, you say the Chief Justice has made this ruling, let's see him enforce it, he said.
And I've said before, I agree with that, for years I have said that we need to push back against judicial supremacy.
And he's quoting Andrew Jackson.
You've made your ruling.
Let's see you enforce it.
I've talked about that many times.
It was about a ruling that I think that what Andrew Jackson did, and it was part of the Trail of Tears, removing the Cherokee out, what he was doing was wrong.
And the Supreme Court had essentially, a year before, had said, you can do that.
And then when they saw what it was like, they were repulsed by it.
They said, now you can't do it.
He said, okay, you've made your ruling.
Let's see you enforce it.
And he ignored it.
And there should be that separation of power.
It's not to say that he's doing the right thing.
It's to say that he had the constitutional authority to do that.
And there's other ways to address that rather than creating judicial supremacy.
So again, on that issue, that part of it, I would agree with J.D. Vance about the courts.
But as Derek Brose is saying, Who did Vance credit for these ideas?
He said, well, there's this guy, Curtis Yarvin, who has written about some of these things.
And again, I think that, you know, I don't want to have a dictatorship of nine Nazgul in black robes that we call the Supreme Court.
I don't want that kind of a dictatorship either.
I want a separation of powers.
I want checks and balances and things like that.
So I would agree with him on what he had to say about the Chief Justice.
But again, these people want to set up new elites, right?
They don't like the dictatorship of the left, so they want us to have a dictatorship of the right.
So he says, Vance elaborated on this.
He said, I saw and realized something about the American elite and about my role in the American elite, and it took me a while to figure it out.
And I was red-pilled, he said.
You know, was red-pilled by Curtis Yarvin.
So, Derek Brose looks into his influences.
He said, after reading the work of 19th century philosopher Thomas Carlyle, Yarvin came to reject libertarianism as doomed to fail, without inclusion of some level of authoritarianism.
Did we have that in the American Revolution?
Not that I'm aware of.
I mean, you know, people wanted to make George Washington a king, and he refused.
And then he was celebrated everywhere for being like Cincinnatus, who voluntarily stepped down, let go of the ring of power, and went back to farming.
But in 2010, Yarvin said, when I went from Mises to Carlisle, He said, and others like me, we want to live and should be able to live in a liberal regime of spontaneous order which is not planned from above.
But he said, Hayek in particular, he says, is very eloquent in this space.
But what my conversion to the cult of Carlisle has changed completely is my understanding of the means by which this free society must be achieved.
If it exists, It must be preserved by any means necessary.
Ah, there is the failure.
Whenever anybody says, by any means necessary.
And these people go right down the rat hole of Machiavellianism.
They openly celebrate the philosophy of Machiavellian philosophy.
And of course, when we talk about by any means necessary, That's the type of philosophy that always leads to totalitarianism, authoritarianism.
The Marxists jump into that.
The fascists jump into that.
The technocrats are jumping into that as well.
That is not the American philosophy.
That is not what we want.
Yarvin argues that the libertarian appeal to self-ownership and individual liberty will always fail without some sort of overarching mechanism to enforce order, be that a monarch or a technocrat.
Jeffrey Tucker, a longtime libertarian author, theorist, founder of the Brownstone Institute, wrote about the influence of Carlisle in his 2017 book titled Right-Wing Collectivism.
the other threat to liberty and um so he said um uh he also lays out the ideas of carlisle and the dangers that they posed Tucker said, have you heard of the great man theory of history?
He said, the meaning is obvious from the words.
The idea is that history moves in shifts in different epics under the leadership of a visionary, bold, often ruthless men who marshal the energy of the masses of people to push events in radical new directions.
Nothing is the same after them.
You know, when we talk about the different theories of history, whether it's the great man theory, or whether it's a cyclical history, a theory of history, both elements are true to a large degree, right?
The times, as people said, you know, bad times create strong men and so forth, and then good times create weak men, and that whole cycle has actually got four aspects to it.
That's true.
But then there will also be a leader who will rise up out of that as well, that will be on the same pattern.
So I think both of these things are true.
There's a cycle of history.
And then, of course, there's always going to be people who are leaders and people who are not, people who follow them.
Tucker also quotes directly from Carlisle.
To show that he supported the idea that populations should bow to these great men as they take control of the machinery of government.
Again, this is not Tucker Carlson.
This is Jeffrey Tucker of Brownstone Institute.
He said, The commander over men, he to whose will our wills are to be subordinated and loyalty surrender themselves and find their welfare in doing so, may be reckoned to be the most important of great men.
He is practically the summary for all of us, all the various figures of heroism, priest, teacher, whatsoever of earthly or of spiritual dignity we can fancy to reside in a man, embodies itself here to command over us, to furnish us with constant practical teaching, to tell us for the day and the hour what we are to do.
Well, there you go.
That's what Carlisle wrote.
That's not what Jeffrey Tucker was quoting him.
That's what he wrote.
So we are to surrender our wills.
We are to subordinate our wills.
We are to surrender all of our loyalty completely to this person.
Do you see how this lines up with the Trump cult and MAGA? Who will be the foot soldiers of the technocracy.
The commander who embodies All the practical teaching, and he tells us what to do, the day and the hour, and so forth.
No, no, not for me.
The last American vagabond reached out to Jeffrey Tucker regarding whether or not he has the same concerns for the rise of right-wing collectivism in Trump's new cabinet.
He believes that Trump's current use of executive power has only been to reverse previous executive actions.
He's still a good guy.
He says about Trump.
He said, what I had not encountered when I wrote that book was the real and present danger of the existing corporatist state and the incredible presence of administrative agencies that are the real government, Jeffrey Tucker told The Last American Vagabond.
He said the question to ask now is how precisely is this going to be curbed?
He says it doesn't just go away.
Given that it has winnowed its way into every aspect of life and all commanding heights, no one has offered a solution beyond platitudes.
What I see happening here is the use of power to curb power.
The use of power to curb power.
And that the end justifies the means.
Folks, we have a long history of humans buying into this lie.
And this is what has always been sold to us.
This is what this 4D chess stuff has always been about.
So, Derek Brose says, Tucker's statement regarding the use of power to curb power is perfectly in line with the thinking of another writer who influenced the technocrats, and that would be Machiavelli.
Curtis Darwin's thinking was also inspired by James Burnham, author of the 1943 book about Machiavelli, called The Machiavellians' Defenders of Freedom.
Never thought about that that way, did you?
He said Machiavelli argued that leaders are justified in committing immoral acts so long as they achieved positive political ends.
Again, all morality is off the table if you say that I can do anything.
I can lie to you.
I can steal from you.
I can kill you.
I can do anything I want if I say that I've got a good purpose at the end.
Say, this is why A Christless society will consume itself, will follow and fall for anything.
James Burnham believed that the real political battle and progress placed because of actions of elites in society.
And this is the guy who wrote the book praising Machiavelli.
He warned that the U.S. could potentially slip into, quote, democratic totalitarianism.
Where liberals, progressives, and defenders of democracy give unlimited power to a centralized government and would advocate the suppression of the specific institutions and specific rights and freedoms that still protect the individual from the advance of the unbridled state.
So, they want to learn from Machiavelli and not from Jefferson and Madison.
And we've got people All over the political spectrum that want to impose these kinds of dictatorships on us.
As I've said for the longest time, you go back to the Nolan chart.
And rather than seeing, once you map it out on a two-dimensional space, people who are interested in economic liberty or people who are interested in...
Civil liberties.
Once you map that out in a two-dimensional space, you find the people who don't want anything at all.
They're down at the bottom, and it doesn't matter if they come at it from the left or they come at it from the right, if they come at it from socialism or if they come at it from populism or nationalism or whatever.
You have the authoritarian governments of Hitler and Stalin.
Down at the same spot.
They did not want you to have any freedoms at all.
And so you can also come at it from the technocracy, and it's the same thing.
They always come down into, they always devolve into authoritarianism and totalitarianism if they're going to throw out morality, if they're going to throw out principles.
That was what was different about the American Revolution.
All the rest of these revolutions, you just exchange one boss, one dictator for another.
Defenders of Freedom, the book about the Machiavellians, greatly influenced Curtis Yarvin as well as Mark Andreessen.
And he's had a lot to say recently, Mark Andreessen has.
He talked about what he had to say most recently about the Chinese development of drones and all the rest of these things and how they were vertically integrated.
One thing he didn't talk about was how that was all deliberately turned over to them.
But getting back to this, December 2024, Andreessen told Barry Weiss on her podcast that he'd been spending lots of his time at Mar-a-Lago with Trump.
He says, I'm there a fair amount of time, maybe half of my time down there since the election.
He said, look, I'm not claiming to be like in the middle of all the decision-making, but I've been trying to help as many ways as I can.
Trump brings out a lot of feelings and a lot of people.
He said, and then there are many political topics that are very deliberately...
Not weighing in on.
They're deliberately not weighing in on.
Just wait.
Because what they're doing is they're building your confidence in them now.
They're going to rebuild, and as I said, we've got to rebuild the confidence in the FBI. We've got to rebuild it in the intelligence community.
We've got to rebuild it in the FDA and the NIH and everything, and then watch out when you trust them again.
He said his recent statements on the Lex Friedman podcast regarding his views on the Machiavellians and their relations to Trump's second term are all the more telling.
Friedman asked him to explain his view that humanity always ends up being ruled by the elite.
And Dreesen said the idea comes from the Italian philosopher Robert Michaels, which he learned about in Defenders of Freedom.
He says...
In the Machiavellians, he resurrects what he calls the sort of Italian realist school of political philosophy from the 10s and 20s.
That'd be the 1910s and 20s.
And Dreesen explains that Michaels believes in something he calls the Iron Law of Oligarchy.
And Dreesen says, so the Iron Law of Oligarchy basically says that democracy is fake.
That there's always a ruling class.
There's always in a ruling class elite structurally.
And he said the reason for that is because the masses can't organize, right?
He says, what's the fundamental problem whether the mass is 25,000 people in a union or 250 million people in a country?
The masses can't organize, he said.
Democracy is always and everywhere fake.
There is always a ruling class.
The lesson of the Machiavellians is you can deny that if you want, but you're fooling yourself.
What is not stressed here is the fact that we would have any Any freedom or dignity, you see.
This is a B.F. Skinner-esque approach to humanity.
We're going to treat you like animals because you're nothing but an animal.
You're not created in the image of God.
You have a body, you have a soul, but they deny that you have a spirit.
And so what they're going to do is they're going to manipulate your body and your soul, your mind, your natural instincts that are there.
And we're not going to aspire.
To anything that is higher, we're not going to connect ourselves to God.
Instead, we're going to have this godless, raw, dog-eat-dog power.
And of course, that was what Ayn Rand would always say, it's all dog-eat-dog.
Well, no, that's people out there who are saying that.
Rule by might is what he's saying.
There are no principles there.
There's no guidelines for these people.
This is all about raw exercise of power.
That's all it's about.
He says, so what we're witnessing in the technocratic takeover of the U.S. government is obviously anyone who's willing to take an honest look.
It is this idea of the inevitability of the masses being ruled by the elites which has inspired Andreessen, Curtis Yarvin, Peter Thiel, Elon Musk, and other technocrats around Trump.
They view themselves as the counter-elite, whose job it is to wrestle society away from the grips of the failed, tyrannical, progressive elite.
Unfortunately for the rest of us, in the masses, we are facing a situation where the progressive elite and the tech bro populists both want to create a world run by AI, where humans merge with machines and are under the watch of the all-pervasive surveillance state monitored by facial recognition cameras connected to a smart grid.
And this is what we're going to wind up with.
And if people don't understand that, you know, they're not looking, First of all, they dismiss the actions of Trump and Musk and all the rest of these people that contradict what they say they want out of society, out of government, out of life.
And they are blind and disinterested in what motivates these people and what they think.
Here's an example of how Elon Musk checks all of the boxes of an evil...
Technocracy.
Nobody will be safe if not everybody is vaccinated.
Are you vaccinated?
Yes.
I'm very pro-vaccination.
The science is unequivocal.
Can you imagine that in 10 years when we are sitting here we have an implant in our brains and I can immediately feel because you all will have implants.
Just think of sensors.
Planted into our brains.
Basically, implanted in your skull.
So...
But it would be...
You realize how true that is.
Take out a chunk of skull, replace, put the neural link device in there.
You put the electrode, you insert the electrode threads very carefully into the brain.
It doesn't change what you are doing.
It changes you if you take a genetic editing.
It's a fusion of the physical, the digital, and the biological world.
That's really the essence of the fourth industrial revolution.
A merger with biological intelligence and machine intelligence.
An effort for man to merge with machine in a healthy way.
To beat machines, you basically have to merge with machines.
Most likely, yes.
As work is changing, is a universal basic income really a solution to this problem?
I think, ultimately, we will have to have some kind of universal basic income.
And I think some kind of a universal basic income is going to be necessary.
Decarbonization of the economy.
Where are they traveling?
How are they traveling?
What are they eating?
What are they consuming on the platform?
So, individual carbon footprint tracker.
Where they're livestock.
We don't have it operational yet, but this is something that we're working on.
I mean, my top recommendation, honestly, would be just to have a carbon tax.
This global reset is necessary.
Yeah.
And, you know, it's interesting, isn't it, to see how Alex has always cheered Elon Musk.
He knows.
He knows.
But, yeah, he checks all the boxes.
Let me just think real quickly, people who have checked our box.
And helped us with this.
And again, thank you to Anthony.
Angry Tiger, thank you very much.
Travis S. and Lisa K. Donated on Zell.
Obermensch, thank you very much.
He says, great job on due diligence and tying in historical events related to the stories.
Thank you.
Geesebusters, thank you very much, Geesebusters.
He says, thank you, and thank you, Anthony.
Andromeda1, thank you very much.
He says, Anthony, thank you for matching funds today.
Najit11, thank you for the tip, and says, thank you, David and the Knight family, for the outstanding work you all produce.
Keep spreading your love, info, and alternatives to the control system.
God bless all Christians in this fight.
Thank you.
Yeah, it is a David and Goliath.
I'd much rather have God on my side than any of these technocrats and any of their inventions.
Murray Draper, thank you so much.
That's very kind, very generous.
He says, thank you for matching our tips, Anthony.
We love the Knight family and are grateful for David's efforts.
Thank you so much.
Beslice, thank you.
He says, 60 degrees today, David.
80 degrees difference from a week ago.
Where do you live?
I don't know, that's...
It got really, really cold wherever you were.
But yeah, we've seen temperatures change quite a bit here.
So that means that I'm working, thankfully, but always listening every day.
Thank you and the matchers.
Well, thank you very much.
Seth L., thank you for the tip.
And Matthew Ronson, he says, just like their siblings, the communists, the fascists say we just need the right fascist in charge.
Isn't it always that way?
Yeah, it absolutely is.
We're going to take a real quick break, and we're going to come back because I want to get to this pharmaceutical stuff today before we end.
And there's something very important about the egg stuff and the bird flu nonsense that we need to talk about.
So we're going to take a quick break and we'll be right back.
Thank you.
Thank you.
It's the David Knight Show.
Welcome back, and I want to try to get through this before we run out of time.
And I do thank all of you who have tipped, especially Anthony, for matching the tips today.
Thank you so much, all of you.
Let's talk about measles case count hits 124. An ongoing West Texas outbreak.
My reply to that would be, so what?
There's 32 million people.
And you've got 124 people who have been diagnosed with measles.
They said 18 people have been hospitalized.
Well, nobody died, right?
Or that would be international news if somebody had died from that.
So you've got less than a sixth of the people have been hospitalized.
Do you think that the hospitalization was necessary?
Or is that out of, what they say, an abundance of caution or the desire to participate in theater?
I had never...
Little Ford Schoolhouse reporting breaking news, someone in Texas has now died from measles.
Okay, well, there we go.
It'll be everywhere now.
So, just slightly ahead of the news today.
But, look, people have, in the past, when you would have millions of cases of measles a year, They would have hundreds of people who would die, they would say, from measles.
And of course, people die from common colds, don't they?
Yeah, they do.
And they also die, like George Washington, from the treatments for the common cold.
Remember, they nearly bled him to death, and they gave him mercury and everything.
And surprise, surprise, he died from a cold.
Or maybe it was the other stuff.
They said most of the cases are in people who are unvaccinated or whose vaccine status is unknown.
Oh, okay.
I say most of them.
But if they got it, then that means that for these other people who said that they were vaccinated, that means that it didn't do any good, did it?
So, let's talk about this.
If measles is caused by a virus, which I don't believe that is.
I had a guy who sent me a tip.
He said, you know, stop playing that game.
Well, I think it's important because a lot of people are not at the point where they question the existence of viruses, period.
And so, even if you're in that paradigm, even if you believe that the viruses exist, even if you believe that measles is from a virus, A lot of this stuff, this fear-mongering, doesn't make any sense.
And just like we look at the so-called bird flu virus, even within their paradigm, it doesn't make any sense.
It's just like the masks didn't make any sense.
It's totally illogical and inconsistent within their own virus paradigm.
And again, I'm not saying that I buy into that.
I don't.
As a matter of fact, when you look at the measles, here's people who...
Got the measles shot.
They still got the measles.
And we've had situations in New York.
They had four cases of measles and they freaked out.
Well, nobody died.
Nobody got sick there.
And when they looked at it, all the people had been vaccinated.
Several of them have been vaccinated two or three times.
So we don't have any proof that the measles...
Vaccine works.
We do have proof that it causes autism.
Epidemiological proof.
We can look at how it is sorted.
We can look at how it goes up for the people who have been vaccinated.
But they discount that.
So the MMR shot is particularly low in Gaines County, where nearly one out of five incoming kindergartners did not get the vaccine.
Guess what?
It was 100% of the kindergartners didn't get the vaccine when I was a kid.
And like I said, we had millions of cases of it a year, and they attributed complications from it to the deaths of a few hundred people out of millions.
And we had never heard of any of that.
And if we had heard of it, the parents who believed that kids were catching measles from virus would not have done the things that they were doing.
But again, they say, well, other affected Texas counties also fall below a goal of 95%.
Here you are back to this herd immunity thing, right?
Herd immunity was a concept that somebody came up with in virology before they had the vaccines.
And that was the idea that they get exposed to the disease, they get an immunity to it, and if enough of the people get immunity to it, then it doesn't pass around and so forth.
Then during COVID, they said, well, there's no such thing as natural immunity.
Well, then none of this stuff works, because the whole purpose of your vaccines, supposedly, was to train people, train their immune system to that particular vaccine.
So then, if they're going to talk about, here they are now, they're back to herd immunity from a vaccine, got to get up to 95%.
Okay, so then explain, if that's the case, why are you doing what you're doing to the chickens?
Wouldn't it be better for them to have herd immunity?
Of course it would.
Why would you kill every single chicken?
Why would you kill millions of chickens on a farm when a handful of them have gotten sick?
And so this is an excellent article from Brian Shulhavi on health impact news, also vaccine impact.
He said the truth about the commercial egg industry and the fake bird flu virus, quote unquote, becoming a backyard chicken producer for your own fresh...
Chickens and eggs.
He said the corporate media loves to quote commercial egg farmers who pen articles like this one, and I talked about this last week.
The truth about America's egg shortage.
This is the Daily Mail.
Talk to a guy who's got a massive farm operation.
His name is Greg Herbruct of Herbruct's Poultry Ranch.
He said, I'm a farmer who was forced to kill 6.5 million hens.
Here's the terrifying truth of America's egg shortage, and who's really to blame?
He says, I'm a third-generation poultry farmer in Michigan.
Over nearly seven decades, my family farming operation has grown to be the 10th largest egg producer in America.
He said, we raised nearly 11 million birds in operations across Michigan, Indiana, and Pennsylvania.
Believe me when I say the poultry industry is in crisis.
Since 2022, 153 million commercial birds have been killed.
Millions more animals have been euthanized to stop the spread of the virus.
He said, I liken this avian flu scourge to a terrorist attack.
I do too.
I liken it to 9-11 and a dark winter, which happened two months prior to that.
It's exactly that type of thing.
He says, regardably, there's no end in sight to this war, and now American consumers are now sharing the burden.
So beg for the chicken mRNA vaccines.
That nobody's done any research on to see what it does to the food supply and to the humans who consume the eggs.
He said, we first detected the virus the day before Easter when we lost 70 birds in one of our farms.
By Easter Sunday, 700 were dead.
The following day, the death toll had climbed to 10,000, and by Tuesday, two other farms within five miles of each other was also hit.
How did that happen?
Are there dead, wild birds between these farms that we would expect to see as this is traveling?
I mean, they keep these animals completely enclosed.
And so, you know, they put out stuff like this.
You don't see any...
Dead, wild birds out there.
So whenever they can find one, like this eaglet story in Florida, North Fort Myers.
Oh, look at this.
Bird flu killed both of the eagles on this nest.
Do we know that for sure?
Again, why are they basing that on a PCR test?
But he says, well, in a week we lost six and a half million hens because the USDA killed them, not bird flu.
So they went from 700...
Out of 6.5 million, and because they had 700 birds, they killed 6.5 million.
700 birds that died, so they killed the rest of them.
Another 6 million.
Does that make any sense to anybody?
It doesn't make any sense to me.
And so he said, America must start to vaccinate its poultry population against avian flu.
Well, Brian Shalhavi exposes this.
And hang on, don't...
Let's not close until I say I'm finished.
I want to finish this before we close the program.
Because what he has to say is very important, and it shows us the motivation of a lot of these big farmers, how they are the big operations like Greg Herbruck.
They're making money from this pandemic, folks.
This is a way for them, first of all, in the long term, it's a way for them to put the small guys out of business so they've got more of a monopoly.
But it is also, they're making money out of this right now.
And they're making money hand over fist with this shortage.
So Brian Shalabi says, I've never met Greg Herbruct, but I've known about him for years.
He said, I have a different opinion than Mr. Herbruct, and I first learned about his operation back in 2015 by a report that was published at the Cornucopia Institute.
It was an investigation, and they talked about factory farms.
organic milk and eggs he said in that report so in what has been called one of the largest fraud investigations in history of the organic industry the cornucopia institute a wisconsin-based farm policy research group announced filing formal legal complaints against 14 industrial livestock operations they're producing milk meat and eggs they're being marketed as organic when in fact they were not
And if you scroll that down, you can see the photos of what they took.
There it is, the operation.
Look at how they caged those hens.
They never get out of the cage in their entire life.
They've got enclosed buildings that they keep them in.
He said, after years of inaction by the USDA, why did the USA, why were they supposed to get involved?
Well, because these people, like Herb Rucht, We're claiming that they had organic eggs and other things like that, and they were not.
And so people were saying, they're selling this as organic, and it's not organic.
And they're asking the USDA to do something about the fraud.
And they didn't.
Why wouldn't they do that with this guy?
Well, this is kind of a, you scratch my back, I scratch yours, right?
So they don't shut him down for fraudulently claiming that he's got organic eggs.
And he's helping them with their, Game of get all the chickens vaccinated.
Yeah, it's kind of this elite group that's scratching everybody's back.
Cornucopia contracted for aerial photography in nine states from West Texas to New York and Maryland.
What they found, and they did over an eight-month period, what they found confirmed earlier site visits.
A systemic pattern of corporate agribusiness interests operating industrial-scale confinement livestock facilities.
Providing no legitimate grazing or even access to the outdoors as required by federal organic regulations.
A photo gallery of the apparent abuses by the Giant Certified Organic Operations in question can be found, and you can go to this article that Brian Shalhavi has, and it's got a link to where you can see that.
He says, the federal organic regulations make it very clear that all organic livestock must have access to the outdoors and that ruminants like dairy cows must have access to pasture.
The vast majority of these massive industrialized scale facilities, some of them managing 10,000 to 20,000 head of cattle and upwards of 1 million laying hens, had 100% of their animals confined in giant buildings or feedlots.
The family scale farmers who helped to commercialize the organic food movement starting in the 1980s.
Did so in part because agribusiness consolidation and control of the food supply was squeezing the profit margins and forcing the farmers off the land.
And so what did the big agricultural big agribusinesses do?
They fraudulently labeled their stuff as organic.
He said consumers enthusiastically embraced that so these people stole the label.
In the chicken industry, the USDA has allowed corporate agribusiness to confine as many as 100,000 laying hens in a single building, sometimes exceeding a million birds on a so-called farm, and substituting tiny screened porch for true access to the outdoors.
Mr. Herbrook's operation was featured in this report, talking about the fraud of organic stuff, just like he's now being featured by mainstream media to push the vaccines.
So he said in the article, he said, well, we've got nearly 11 million birds that we have in our operations here.
And so, you know, he's perfectly willing to kill 6.5 million birds when 700 of them have died of disease.
Now, that sounds pretty bad.
If there's something that goes from 70 to 700 over a couple of days, and now we just kill all 6.5 million?
You know, what is the case fatality rate?
When you've got 6.5 million birds all confined in a small space and only 700 of them die.
Well, again, if we're going to talk about the virus thing, that would be a case fatality rate of 0.01%.
0.01%, effectively zero.
And yet it is a fatality rate based on the way they operate.
In so many cases, what is projected onto a virus we find is actually coming from other things.
He says these factory chicken farms contain buildings with no windows, where the chickens are contained in the battery cages, as we showed in the picture.
He said the death rate of these chickens is already very high.
In other words, if we've got six and a half million chickens under these kind of conditions, it's not unusual for 700 of them to die.
He says it requires someone to remove the dead chickens every day.
And in his article, he said, well, you know, the death of a single chicken really bothers me.
I really care for my chickens.
Oh, yeah, you really do, right?
Chickens are dying every day, and that's a full-time job for somebody to get rid of the dead chickens.
But he wants us to believe that he grieves over the death of a single chicken.
This modern-day method of producing eggs, which relies on technology in the pharmaceutical industry to try to manage disease these birds contract in such tight quarters, is, says Brian Shalhavi, the problem.
The problem, in his opinion.
And so he's got another clip of the article, if you go to it, from Farm Incorporated.
It's done back in 2004, a documentary talking about poultry operations in states like Arkansas.
And, you know, these conditions they keep them in.
He says, notice that Mr. Herbrook mentioned in his opinion piece, Remedies, about the America's egg problem.
He said, we need to have more biosecurity.
And we need to have more vaccines.
And he said, this is also what Trump is pushing.
The Trump administration.
Big changes planned to fight bird flu with vaccines, is what they're saying.
And they have stressed and continue to stress vaccines.
The Trump administration, USDA, has continued to do the mass culling.
And so, now, this is the final point that I wanted to get across before we shut the program down, because this is important.
First of all, to see that when this guy says, well, he had 70 birds and 700 birds that died, the 700s of birds die every day under those conditions.
And the other part of it that is very important, as Brian Shalhavi points out, he said, they get rid of their birds every year.
They only keep them around for a year because their egg production is highest in the very first year of life.
And so it's like, okay, so if we can start all over again with these birds, we'll just kill all the ones we've currently got.
Now, if they're going to kill all the birds when they get to their first molting season and they stop laying eggs, which is when the sunlight changes and it starts or gets cold or whatever, it's mainly sunlight from what I've read, when they stop laying.
We're talking about the fall and the winter.
Oh, you know where flu is going around.
So rather than, you know, we've got a situation where they're going to kill the birds in the fall and winter anyway.
Now they're going to have the government kill the birds for them and replace the birds.
So they pay them for all the birds and they replace them for free.
Now you know why these big agribusinesses are on board with all this stuff.
They're making a fortune off of this.
And then the eggs that they have from other operations that are left alone, they can sell them for much, much higher prices than they did before.
Whereas if it's a small farm, they go out of business.
So this is a practice that they would normally do in the fall and winter.
Kill the birds, replace them with new ones.
Now the government comes in.
He says we've got to do it because of bird flu.
They pay them.
They replace it for all of them.
This is one of the reasons why this is going through.
It's a very important insight that I didn't know anything about.
Now, he's got a lot of stuff, and we're not going to go into it about things that he's done in terms of finding out that it's not just mRNA that we're going to be concerned about being put into the birds and into the eggs.
He says that most of the feed that is out there has got soy in it.
He found that out, and he talks about how he found out about that and started a line of chicken food that had no soy in it, and he had some universities come to him.
They wanted to look at the difference in these things, and he had the only feed that was free of soy.
He said they found out that when they took the birds off of the soy, that they...
They purged it out of their system and you couldn't find it in the yolks anymore.
It's where it accumulates is in the yolks.
You couldn't find it in the yolks after 10 days.
And he said the reason that he looked at all that stuff, the reason why he wanted to create feed that was free of soy was because of how it is disruptive with the estrogen and things like that.
Soy is not good for us, but they want to keep putting it into the feed and it's going to find its way into the food that we eat.
And so is the mRNA that is there.
But it is all this kind of stuff that they do.
In order to make the last tiny bit of profit, and this is why you get the kind of atrocious stuff at the fast food places, because, hey, look, if they can make an extra penny off of each one of these items, they're selling so many of them that that accounts to a lot of food.
Whereas with a small restaurant or a small farm, cutting corners and saving a couple of pennies and making something that is an abomination isn't really a good thing for them.
It's much better for them to focus on quality rather than on garbage that they profit on by a massive quantity.
So, I just want to thank the people who have given us tips.
And again, thank you so much, Anthony, for the matching tips.
Larbar, thank you very much.
I appreciate that.
Flowersore, very kind and generous.
Thank you so much.
I appreciate that.
And I thank Anthony.
Matthew Ronson, thank you very much.
He said, if the people knew, said George H.W. Bush, actually, I don't know if it was, yeah, I guess it was George H.W. If people knew what we were doing, they'd string us up on a lamppost.
Well, thank you so much.
I'm trying to tell people what they're doing.
Thank you for joining us.
Good evening.
Tonight's tale is a story of paranoia and a most unexpected perpetrator, the common cow.
Or, more specifically, what comes out the other end.
Yes, the air is thick with intrigue, as it seems that in our modern age of propaganda...
Even a humble bovine's backside can be branded a national security threat.
The menace is invisible, silent, yet deadly.
Carefully contrived to panic the masses into accepting the government stepping in, jackboots and all, with their solutions.
Because who better to stop a gaseous threat than a bunch of political windbags?
But one must wonder, is this truly about saving the planet, or are we simply being led to pasture?
Is it merely a MacGuffin?
The David Knight show serves as a breath of fresh air for those who still believe that truth can stand up to scrutiny.
And he's found that the government narrative smells suspiciously like a load of bull.
So if you want to help others catch wind of the BS being shoveled out of Washington, please consider supporting the show.
And now back to our regularly scheduled program.
