It's the David Knight Show.
Knight Show.
Show. And
What a wonderful place to be.
Thanks for being with me, everyone.
I'm Gardner Goldsmith.
I do work for MRCTV, and I do my Liberty Conspiracy show Monday through Friday at 6 p.m. on Rumble and on My Ex.
And you can find me over there at Gard Goldsmith, G-A-R-D Goldsmith.
Thank you for being here as I get to fill in for David Knight, the man who ministers...
God's word and logic and history and morals.
And I hope we're going to have a great time today doing good honor to the great one, David Knight, as we explore for three hours some of the breaking news of the day.
And as I often say for the viewers of Liberty Conspiracy over at Rumble, the news of the day is something we can break apart and hopefully derive some longstanding intellectual ammunition, some scholarship from these things, whether it's from my day's lecturing,
Or it's my old days at Star Trek Voyager in their script department.
Quite interesting polarities there.
Or it's my work at MRCTV.
And if you're finding the program right now because of my work at MRCTV, thanks for doing that as well.
And hats off to everyone there.
We're going to be saying hi to everybody inside the chats in just a little while.
And of course you can find David Knight Monday through Friday, 9 a.m.
to noontime on Rockfin on rumble on D live and also on odyssey.
You can also check out the David Knight show.com.
We'll show you the David Knight Show coin in just a little while.
It is very cool.
And you can see all the great items that are over there, like the MacGuffin shirts and things like that.
You can also say hi to folks on X if you want to drop some comments in on X. We're going to be seeing your comments.
And as I often joke around, because people who might have...
We've been opposed to the ever-encroaching leftism in the United States.
If they happen to mention Hunter Biden's laptop, as I did at MRCTV, we got attacked by NewsGuard, called by certain people, Russian propaganda.
So on Liberty Conspiracy, I often mention that I have a giant team of producers who work with me on the show, and they're all in the background putting messages into my brain chip receiver from Vladimir.
Putin, who's now...
Shirtless on the back of his grizzly bear, giving me the information.
And we spread the Russian propaganda.
So that is something that we might do.
Feel free to put your comments in.
I'll be able to read your comments over at Rumble and at Rockfin.
And I want to say hi.
Right off the bat, the Russians are telling me that we already have a very fine commenter on X. And that is Emmy Moore.
Thank you, Emmy.
Good to see you.
She says, good morning, guard et al.
And the et al.
Absolutely.
And to you, I say, God bless.
Thank you for being there.
And I hope you're having a great start of the day, everybody.
Let's see what's on tap today for the David Knight Show for the 19th day of March, 2025.
Let's find out what's on tap, and if you have ideas and you want to drop them into the chats, feel free to do so.
There could be some breaking news, and you're part of the team out there.
Well, what is on tap today?
As I often do on my program for Liberty Conspiracy, we often use a little audio sounder when I ask what is on tap tonight on Liberty Conspiracy, because this allows us...
We here in the Russian studio, here in the deepest, darkest portion of New Hampshire or Anski, Moscow, it allows us to test our audio system to make sure it's coming out all right.
So you let me know if you're hearing perhaps a visit from an old favorite from the hip hop days.
Yes, that might be Humpty Dee.
Ah, there's nothing like a little Humpty Dee with your coffee in the morning.
All right, let's see what's happening on the program today, and it's going to be a busy one.
Some of the items we actually got to discuss last night on Liberty Conspiracy.
And this gives me the opportunity, again, to take a scholarly approach and give you some pieces of information that are carryaways, evergreen information, long-standing lessons for liberty coming out of a lot of these breaking, very, very bright flash stories.
So that's what I try to do in my articles for MRCTV as well.
And in fact, I'll give you a couple pieces from MRCTV, one in video form if we can fit in.
And one in...
Print form, which I definitely hope to fit in today, that I think you might find very interesting.
And by the way, if you're interested in donating to the David Knight Show, we're looking this week, while I fill in for David, we're looking this week to focus on Rumble.
And if you want to donate over at Rumble, that's probably the best place to do it.
Easiest access.
And of course, it allows all those great colors when people donate as well.
So we'll check in and say hi to everybody after we go through this.
We're going to be looking at the News Flash.
I often do this on my program.
The News Flash is about Trump rescinding Biden's pardons.
Well, since David wasn't live yesterday, I want to make sure that I bring that up.
We're going to discuss that briefly because that was all the rage yesterday on many hours of talk radio coming out of Boston.
We're going to head into our big story after that.
The big story being...
Well, actually, multifaceted.
As you can see on the screen, or if you're just listening, let me describe it to you.
We're going to be talking war.
We'll be discussing a reminder about Yemen and Tulsi Gabbard, and again, how Tulsi Gabbard has switched her view.
On something, which I kind of wondered if she would do that because she said she was anti-war, but while she was in Congress, she consistently voted for unconstitutional military occupations in foreign countries without any declaration of war, and yet she was in the military.
So there always seemed to be some double standards there for me when I saw Tulsi Gabbard.
She seems like a very pleasant person.
I would love to be able to ask her some of these questions.
But again, another mark on her record with her stance changing on the United States' unconstitutional attack on Yemen and why Yemen has engaged in reconstituting their threats against Israeli shipping.
Why?
Because the Israelis broke the ceasefire deal and the Yemenis...
Are trying to support the starving people in Palestine.
So the Israelis have conducted a blockade on food and water in Gaza.
But the Yemenis, when they say that they're going to blockade Israeli ships and any ships that happen to be assisting Israel like the United States, that somehow is the point at which everyone's focus should begin.
I guess, evidently, according to Tulsi.
I don't know.
We'll also talk about Ukraine.
The big Trump-Putin talks yesterday.
Two-plus hours on the phone, and looks like it could have been productive.
They've got an interesting initial agreement.
We'll give you that information based on some great coverage from antiwar.com and some material that I was able to record from Russia Today.
And the Russian team and I have produced that.
And we've got it in a very strong package for you, hopefully, here on The David Knight Show.
We'll also be talking immigration, deportations, the Trump administration defying the court.
And claims from people about the 1798 Alien Enemies Act.
My goodness.
They misread these things.
They misread these things for convenience every time.
That's a very big one.
I want to make sure I give you that one.
And then the U.S. ramps up bank snooping.
That, a $200 threshold on the Know Your Customer.
The requirement, the mandate, unconstitutional in every possible way, breaching the Fourth Amendment, breaching the Fifth Amendment, the Sixth Amendment, and the Eighth Amendment.
For some reason, those are often breached, as the Trump administration on day one saw Donald Trump issue an executive order to tell banks in certain zip codes, 30 zip codes in the Southwest, that for...
Transactions or ATM removals of $200 or more, they will have to report that to FinCEN.
That's right.
FinCEN, the Federal Financial Investigation Department.
They will have to report that.
That's going to be great.
So the paperwork or the computer work obviously is going to be pretty high.
So what does it do?
It's going to open a de facto constant channel.
Anytime that happens, the information will go to the federal government.
It is just incredible.
Incredible.
They don't seem to care about the Constitution, except when the Constitution allows them to hold some seats and pick your pocket.
It's just amazing.
So thanks for being there, everyone.
And let's say hello to all the folks who are over at the Rumble Chat.
I want to thank everyone for being there.
Let's see.
We've got Birdhouse Blues is there.
We've got Sheila A. is there.
And Birdhouse Blues.
Thank you, Birdhouse.
And you're down in that area where some of those zip codes in the Southwest could be covered.
He says, I thought Gard was going to put on his shiny armor today.
Well, my bald head is shining enough.
Perhaps. Yes.
Yes. I don't know.
Gonzo Johnny, thank you for being inside Rumble.
And don't forget, you can donate over at Rumble today.
That's where we're going to try to do our focus.
North American!
Thank you for being there and Be My Valentine.
So many great people.
Please spread the word and let's get rolling on the program.
It's going to be a great time today.
It's going to be a good time today.
Everyone's going to be okay.
Well, as I often do on my program, we're going to go with a little flash in the news.
And for that...
We're going to go not with Grandmaster Flash, but we're going to go with the Flashlight from the P-Funk All-Stars and get a little funky as the mothership drops down for the News Flash!
Flash! All right.
Right, with a little queen mixed in there, huh?
Okay, let's get started.
First off, let's talk about the pardon issue.
As Donald Trump claimed Sunday that he would rescind the pardons of the final pardons that Joe Biden issued for dozens of people.
Including the Biden family, Hunter Biden going back to 2014, Liz Cheney, because Liz Cheney withheld what could have been exculpatory information for many of the J6 people as they were locked up for over a year,
not given due process.
And then finally, when they were brought to court, she made sure that information that evidently could have been exculpatory was withheld.
She could be up on federal felony charges.
And, of course, the bloodthirsty dog lover, you-know-who, Anthony Fauci.
So let's discuss that with a little theme coming to us from back in time from a person I didn't know.
She is very well known among some musical circles, Lynn Anderson.
beg your pardon.
I never promised you a rose garden along with the sunshine.
There's gotta be a little rain sometime.
When you take, you gotta give, so live and let live or let go.
Okay, Lynn Anderson.
I hope she did very well with this.
I hope it helped her family.
I do question, however, this album was, I think, from like 1914 or maybe 1905 or something like that.
You know, I was a DJ.
I know my music.
I think it was maybe 1903 that this came out on, you know, CBS Records.
I'm curious about this album, though, because this was before all the trans stuff, right?
Or pretty much.
And one of the songs on here, I Wish I Was a Little Boy Again.
You know, I'm just saying.
I don't know.
I don't know how that all works.
But Lynn gets to talk about the pardons.
So let's get into it.
Trump versus the pardons.
Donald Trump came out with a lot of force on Truth Social.
And a lot of people started to retweet it on St. Patty's Day, don't you know?
So here it is.
Synchronous is a good one to choose.
Trump declares Biden's last-minute pardons are void, sort of like he treats the Constitution due to the alleged use.
Of an auto-pen system.
I wrote an article about this for MRCTV.
The first person to use auto-pen while he was outside the country was Barack Obama, but he actually offered his verbal permission about this.
Well, here's what Donald Trump had to say.
Donald Trump, and last night I gave a half-hearted Donald Trump impression.
I'll give you the Donald Trump impression to start things off.
The pardons that Sleepy Joe Biden gave to the Unselect Committee of Political Thugs, and they are thugs, and many others are hereby declared voting.
Kind of like the Constitution in my eyes.
Because of the fact that they were done by Autopen.
I'm sorry, I'm going to be very busy bombing Yemen again.
I better get this done quickly.
In other words, he writes, Joe Biden did not sign them.
But, importantly...
Great grammar there, Donald.
Keep going on the buildings.
Forget the grammar.
Importantly, he did not know anything about them.
The necessary pardoning documents were not explained to or approved by Biden.
He knew nothing about them.
And the people that did may have committed a crime.
Therefore, those on the unselect committee who destroyed and deleted all evidence obtained during their two-year witch hunt of me and many other innocent people should fully understand that they are subject to investigation at the highest level.
The fact is, they were probably responsible for the documents that were signed on their behalf without the knowledge Or consent of the worst president in the history of our country, crooked Joe Biden.
Well, of course, it all depends here in the tragedy of the commons.
It all depends what your agenda is and what you want the statist entity to do and get other people to pay for.
So that all depends on your perspective as to who is the worst president in the country when the Constitution is thrown out the window because everybody has their bit of flesh they want to bite.
But let's take a look at some of the people who have been pardoned.
And, of course, remember the fact that some of these people could be up on felony charges.
His family, including Hunter Biden, Anthony Fauci.
And on talk radio in Boston yesterday, people were out for blood.
And as I mentioned, they didn't want a sample for a PCR test.
Ramp that up, Dr. Fauci.
General Mark Milley, a lot of people don't like him, and members of the January 6th committee.
And of course, if you didn't see it, this is part of the example of it that folks gave, using computers to show that numerous of his...
Pardons on his last day are exactly identical and used with AutoPen.
And based on his cognitive problems, they theorize, I think, with a pretty strong note of confidence that Joe Biden was unaware of these things.
And now, according to the New York Times, he wasn't at the White House when these were issued.
He was away in his vacation home and he was unaware of these things.
So make of it what you will.
I don't really know whether...
The pardon argument on this side of it would really hold a lot of strength.
But I will say, again, even the President Ford pardon of Richard Nixon is highly unusual logically and historically as far as constitutional research goes when it looks at the concept of pardons.
Because you can only be pardoned...
After you've been convicted of a crime.
I don't understand how presidents can pardon someone when he actually has not been convicted of something.
That seems to be sort of gaming a system in two ways.
First, of course, it opens up the possibility that a president could have people engage in nefarious activities.
And give them preemptory pardons, creating an entire team of criminals.
But then again, most of the people in Washington might be described that way.
And then you have the entire concept of logic, which is, if that's the case, then wouldn't that imply that someone is guilty, regardless of whether he's been tried and found guilty?
You're sort of painting someone for the rest of his life, aren't you?
So, that seems a little bit strange to me.
And, of course, there's the entire concept of the pardons themselves, but we'll talk about that later.
That goes back to the old royal days.
Now, one other thing that I want to bring up, and this ties into a subject we'll discuss a little bit later on The David Knight Show, when it comes to the idea of pushing the anti-Semitism language.
As we know, in October of 2023, J.D. Vance, who made all sorts of news when he looked so heroic, talking about the great standards of Europe, free speech and elections, and never mentioned that he was a prime sponsor.
of one of the most egregious anti-free speech pieces of legislation in the history of the United States, the Anti-Semitism Awareness Act that he sponsored as a senator in October 2023, never mentioning that.
I actually spoke with people in Washington, D.C. who are with a free speech organization who also are big fans of Donald Trump.
And they wanted me to do some side writing for them about free speech issues.
So...
One of the items was J.D. Vance, who was over in Europe.
This was a number of weeks ago.
And they said, why don't you write about that as an example?
And I said, sure.
So I brought up his hypocrisy that he seems to be promoting free speech in Europe, but of course wants to not only paint criticism of the state of Israel as somehow ethno-hatred anti-Semitism.
When, as a person who is a voluntarist and technically an anarchist, meaning no human ruler, I believe that all forms of government are immoral, I would be criticized as somehow being anti-Semitic just for generically criticizing a state,
whether it's Israel or not?
Well, I happened to put that in this sample piece.
And he said, well, we can't do that.
So it shows you the extent of their actual embrace of free speech.
How about Australia?
Australia has seen what we saw in the United States with the trumped-up Islamo-terrorist stuff that Judge Andrew Napolitano did such a fantastic job exposing many years ago on Fox.
17 of the first 20 of the FBI arrests for so-called Islamo-terrorism or domestic radical terrorism were actually trumped up, cooked up by the feds to basically entrap people.
Well, Australia has a similar thing going on.
There it is, everybody.
Yep.
WikiLeaks just released at 5.30 this morning.
A parliamentary inquiry launched in New South Wales, Australia after new criminal hate speech laws were rushed through after the discovery of an alleged truck bomb targeting Jews.
Oh, of course.
However, the bomb was a fake.
And was not motivated by anti-Jewish sentiment.
The government concealed this knowledge after the laws had passed.
So in the great tradition of trumping things up, pun intended, we get that from Australia, as the Aussies are actually pointing out that this was fake.
Mr President, I move according to notice that leave be given to bring in a bill for an Act to amend Crimes Legislation to reverse the effects of the Crimes Amendment Inciting Racial Hatred Act 2025, Crimes Amendment Place of Worship Act 2025 and Crimes Legislation Amendment Racial and Religious Hatred Act 2025.
This bill seeks to repeal three recently passed bills that curb the ability of citizens of New South Wales to speak and think freely.
I understand that it is likely there will be a parliamentary inquiry into these three bills and I am pleased the opposition has signalled its intention to support that inquiry.
I am, however, disappointed that the opposition has pre-empted what could come out of that inquiry by saying that they will not support a repeal.
In any case, so I encourage the fine members of that party to press for a change in their party's policy as this inquiry unfolds.
Now, Mr President, I brought this bill up for debate today.
We won't be voting on it until after the inquiry has concluded.
So there you go.
A quick update in the newsflash about very similar patterns in Australia as they try to portray just like they try to portray people who tried to discuss facts about the jabs and the masks as somehow being against the vaunted godhead of science.
The head of the totem pole, as they try to portray people who actually spoke up and said, hey, you know, there's no constitutional declaration of war for this Iraq invasion, for this Afghanistan occupation.
Oh, you must be sympathizing with the Islamofascists.
Who's the fascist?
I'd like to know.
That would be interesting.
Who's the one trying to suppress dissent and free speech?
Would it be J.D. Vance?
Or the guy who's discussing the statute that's very similar to what you just heard about in Australia.
Not just the United States, but also in Australia.
They're doing the same thing.
Almost the same sort of pattern as we saw with the things that the WHO did and the model state health emergency plans that they instituted in various states.
Almost all exactly the same.
Promulgated from Johns Hopkins.
You'd almost think these people were reading from a script.
As if anything that they want to do that allows them to get it done is acceptable.
Darn the rules.
Full speed ahead.
Darn the torpedoes.
Well, now we're going to see the same thing from Tulsi Gabbard.
A turnabout with Tulsi Gabbard as Donald Trump killed nearly 60 people just after he played golf.
You know, I put this together over at X. And release this in the media studio.
This is what happened over the weekend as Donald Trump launched an assault on the Yemenis.
The Yemenis, who for years were fighting a proxy war with the United States as the United States gave Saudi Arabia weapons to attack the Houthis and...
As the Houthis have acted in a way that was similar to the people in Gaza in a responsive way to aggression from Israel.
Donald Trump unilaterally gave the command without any constitutional authority to launch strikes.
And this is what we saw Sunday.
Sunday.
And there's Donald Trump.
Donald Trump coming right in.
Off the golf course, wearing his golf outfit.
He and that man sitting next to him now engaged in war crimes.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
oh oh oh oh oh
you.
We got about 1,200 views in just a few hours, and so word got out to some people about that.
And as I mentioned to the viewers at Liberty Conspiracy, I thought, you know, imagine back to the days, or remember back to the days when you were a kid, and I can't imagine thinking as a child, I will grow up.
To be the man standing there causing death and permanent physical damage and pain for dozens of people.
Killing, murdering people.
Just standing there, totally disconnected in a cleansed, disinfected, distant drone strike.
As those kids shiver with burns, skin flayed off.
I don't understand it.
I don't understand how someone can act that way.
And I think it reflects incredibly on the character of Donald Trump.
If he would do something like that.
Especially at the behest of Israel.
By the way, there is a list that has been promulgated of high-profile people that they want to try to deport from various universities, as Pam Bondi, who, of course, is now the Attorney General, and when she was AG of Florida,
supported the red flag statutes.
Contrary to, again, most of those amendments of the Bill of Rights that I mentioned, we've got the Second Amendment, we've got the Fourth Amendment, The Fifth, the Sixth, and the Eighth Amendments, all included in red flag statutes.
Donald Trump sat next to her and praised her for that.
And that was one of the moments, the great opportunities for him to say, we take the guns and give the due process later.
He had another opportunity later when he was with a bunch of senators like Chris Murphy, you know, the senator from Connecticut who went and hung out with Ole Tianyabach, the Nazi from the Slovoda party in Ukraine in late 2013 and again in early 2014.
Yeah, you know, some real classy people, really classy people.
So yeah, he sat next to her and he praised that.
She has the opportunity to stop the attacks on free speech, and yet she's the one engaging in it, along with Donald Trump, along with RFK Jr., which the HHS is now being brought in to claim that it is a public health emergency if people are critical of the state of Israel.
Is this Australia?
I didn't know.
Are we all being gamed in a giant setup where we're being blamed for committing crimes we never did?
Sort of like that fake bombing in Australia, except this is on rhetorical level.
Well, the main funder of a new list of people whom they want to deport from universities, which shouldn't be getting any federal money, and they're using that as leverage to try to silence people at these universities, is...
Ms. Adelson, Sheldon Adelson's wife, is spending millions of dollars on an organization that is promoting targeting of certain people to remove them from college campuses.
Now, when conservatives were targeted by PropOrNot, which was tied to things like John Podesta's group and those sorts of left-wing groups, like Center for American Progress,
CAP, those types of things, Conservatives spoke out about that.
When they were silenced on social media, conservatives spoke out about that.
And I'm including conservatives and MAGA Republicans, because sometimes they're not the same.
Now it seems like only a tiny fraction of those people are doing so.
Maybe there's something to keep in mind there in my eyes.
So let's get into a little bit more on this.
Tulsi Gabbard's turnabout.
Tulsi Gabbard originally was opposed to the United States being involved in genocide in Yemen.
And that is something that seems to be pretty clear that the United States is backing at least genocide in Gaza.
Well, now she's changed her tune.
Antiwar.com released this on March 18th.
Tulsi Gabbard wants other countries to join the U.S. in attacking Yemen.
During Trump's first term, Gabbard was a leading critic of Trump's backing of Saudi war in Yemen, which she called genocidal by Dave DeCamp.
And there were over 100,000 people who were killed by the Saudis.
A lot of people are unaware of that.
And they got the weapons from the U.S. She spoke up about it then.
Well, she's not speaking up about it now.
Dave DeCamp wrote this, and good job for them.
Remember, Antiwar.com is doing their fundraiser now, and you can help them out.
They're great people.
Yeah, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard has called for other countries to join the U.S. in attacking the Houthis in Yemen, a country she previously strongly opposed intervening in.
The U.S. launched a major round of airstrikes against Yemen on Saturday and in the days that followed, killing at least 53 people, including women and children.
Yeah, they hit a cancer ward.
Gabbard said that the U.S. wants countries that are more impacted, use that clunky term, by a disruption in Red Sea shipping to get involved.
This would be Tulsi Gabbard, who's with the United States, which has sanctions.
Blocking trade with Iran, sanctions against other places like North Korea, sanctions against Russia.
And they're attacking Yemen for engaging in the exact same thing that they're doing and Israel is doing to 11, like Spinal Tap.
Blocking food and water, which is the reason why the Yemenis responded in the way they did, because they had...
They paused their shipping blockage when there was the ceasefire in Gaza.
And there was supposed to be a hostage exchange.
But the Israelis kept putting the Gazan Hamas leadership on hold every time Hamas was ready to release some of the hostages.
Because rather than accepting the hostages, literally, this happened a couple times.
The Israeli government said, no, you're releasing the wrong hostages.
We first want priority given to military members.
So Hamas, which isn't all one uniform group, they would have to go, even though they had civilians ready to release.
The Netanyahu government...
Put up these blocks to say, no, not doing it the way we want.
We want these people, not those people.
Now, there are protests on the streets in Israel right now.
Because literally, not only the family members of the hostages that Hamas has taken, but actual hostages who have been released want a ceasefire.
And they want the rest of the hostages that Hamas holds released.
What you often don't hear is the other side of the coin, which is that the occupying force, the aggressive force of Israel, has every year for over a decade kidnapped people off the streets and held them without due process,
including teenage kids as young as 14 years of age and women.
And as I've mentioned before on Liberty Conspiracy, the International Criminal Court has cited Benjamin Netanyahu for criminal activity, not yet because of the attacks on Gaza since October 7th.
You can separate that one.
But for activities prior to that...
Against some of the people they were holding without charge.
That they just pull off the streets in Palestine.
The place that they have created as a corral as they took more and more land with Western backing.
And they're from Eastern Europe.
They're not even Semitic.
The Semitic peoples who are there are the Palestinians.
So now Tulsi Gabbard has switched her stance on Yemen.
It's incredible to consider that Tulsi Gabbard is engaging in these sorts of things.
She's nowhere to be found.
Glenn Greenwald has some information on this, and I'll give this to you real quick.
Biden bombed the Houthis continuously and aggressively throughout 2024, often on a daily basis.
Obama aided the Saudis in all-out war on the Houthis.
Trump bombed them often in his first term.
Just a reminder, because a lot of stuff goes through the news cycle.
We've got to remember these.
At least I feel it's incumbent on me to offer the opportunity to remember these things so people can take these away.
I would feel that I was doing a disservice to the audience if I did this without talking about these things.
Filling in for David, offering this information, and getting feedback from you, it's really important to me.
Trump's latest bombings, Glenn writes, are just a continuation of long-standing bipartisan policy.
It is absolutely right.
Absolutely right.
In fact, let's go over right now into some of the information from RT about the strikes.
Head to the Middle East.
Now, huge crowds have amassed in Yemen's capital to vent their anger at the policies of the United States and Israel.
And this comes as Washington's warplanes have engaged in three days of strikes on the country.
Now, according to Houthi authorities, 53 people were killed, including five children.
Washington says that the strikes were in response to attacks on ships in the Red Sea.
And that's where the Houthis have enforced a blockade since November 2023 on Israel-linked vessels passing through the waters following the war on Gaza.
RT's Ilya Petrenko takes a look at the long-standing dispute between Washington and the Houthis.
Donald Trump has really tried to make his warnings to Yemen's Houthis sound...
As scary as possible.
To all Houthi terrorists, your time is up and your attacks must stop starting today.
If they don't, hell will rain down upon you like nothing you have ever seen before.
The question is, did these words or the US airstrikes that followed have any effect at all on the mindset of the Houthi leadership?
Because it looks like they didn't, judging by their reaction, which was firing missiles and deploying drones to try and sink an American aircraft carrier, and also a fiery counter-warning.
We will respond to escalation with escalation.
This is our approach.
Yesterday our armed forces immediately launched missiles and drones.
Therefore, this is our choice, this is our decision, and this is our direction as long as the American enemy continues its aggression against our country.
Its frigates, aircraft carriers, and naval vessels will be targeted by drones and missiles.
So, who are the Houthis?
What makes the movement leaders brave enough to openly challenge the world's mightiest military?
The Houthi insurgents have been a major force in the Yemeni civil war since it began in 2014.
Saudi Arabia, with all of its cutting-edge U.S.-supplied arms, spent years trying to bring the Houthis to heel, all to no avail.
The Houthis are in control of Yemen's capital, Sana 'a, and almost the whole of the country's Red Sea coast.
In response to Israel's invasion of Gaza, the movement launched a series of attacks on the vessels in the Red Sea and in the Arabian Sea to put pressure on Israel and its allies.
Any new aggression will not go unanswered and unpunished as the Yemeni armed forces are continuing military operations and enforcing the Israeli navigation ban in the Arabian and Red Seas until the aggression stops and the siege on the Palestinian people in Gaza is lifted.
I'll tell you what, long before Donald Trump, Joe Biden already tried to teach the Houthis a lesson and get rid of the threat posed by their drones and missiles.
And he wasn't alone.
In December 2023, an entire coalition of nations led by the U.S. teamed up in the region and kick-started operations.
Pause it right there.
And great comments.
The Russians are telling me about the great comments here on the program.
Rattlesnake George.
Tulsi went right along with the weapons of mass destruction BS.
Well, I gotta say, you know...
That's a really good point.
It seems like she offers very soft words about being pro-peace, but when you look at her actions, she always voted for every NDAA National Defense Authorization Act.
And that continues to fund the soldiers who are overseas.
And as a person who was overseas as a soldier, one would think that she would familiarize herself with the U.S. Constitution because she's only supposed to respond to constitutional orders.
And yet she allowed herself to get shipped out.
And you're right.
She voted continuously to promote the war machine.
Unbelievable.
Now, when we talk about warfare, let's get into...
The bigger story on this.
In fact, I often discuss war with a number of numerous themes that I can utilize on liberty conspiracy.
And in this case, I'd like to offer a theme right now for this section.
As we start digging into the latest from Gaza, we look at the negotiations between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin.
And we consider, again, with some of that information about Yemen.
What the United States' role has been in spreading aggression.
And hopefully we carry away a lesson.
A lesson about the canard of the so-called just war idea when it is connected in any way to the state.
Here's Edwin Collins.
Absolutely nothing.
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing.
Say it again, y 'all.
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing.
Listen to me.
their son's
All right.
Thank you, Edwin Starr.
I said Edwin Collins before.
Edwin Collins is great, though.
Check him out.
He's fantastic.
Especially if you grew up in the shadow of the Baby Boomers, look for Edwin Collins' song, The Campaign for Real Rock, which is all about the hippies.
It's pretty good.
It's really good.
It's about the hippies and Woodstock.
He says, yes, yes, yes, it's the summer festival, the truly detestable summer festival.
Excellent.
Edwin, he's amazing.
He had multiple strokes, had to relearn how to play guitar and walk.
He's from the north of England.
And his wife, he could only use one hand as he started to get better.
And his wife...
Helped him.
One person would have one hand on the guitar and the other would have the other hand on the guitar.
And he was able to start playing music again.
Really remarkable.
The drummer from the Sex Pistols, Paul Cook, has played with him for a long time.
And it's really remarkable.
Really remarkable story about his...
His faith, his ability to be close to his family, and what he realizes is important.
And that is something.
Not celebrity.
That's for darn sure.
Just a way to make some money for your family and try to have a living.
Very interesting stuff.
Let's talk about the war right now.
Let's go with the latest information on this.
From Dave DeCamp, as of yesterday, over 400 people killed.
400 people killed by the Israelis in the Palestine area.
That doesn't even include Lebanon and the West Bank.
400 people killed in a single morning of bombing only raises the prospect of all-out war, according to the New York Times.
Gee, you think?
Dave's sarcasm comes through beautifully.
You think, New York Times?
Well done, Dave DeCamp.
Gee, it only raises the prospect of all-out war?
Hmm.
Maybe.
Maybe that is something to keep in mind.
The 400 people somehow just being...
Now it gets worse.
And this goes to what I experienced at Boston University.
I've mentioned this before.
My last name's Goldsmith.
It's an English name.
I'm English and Irish.
There are actually very few people who are Jewish who are named Goldsmith.
And you've got Goldstein, Goldfarb, Goldberg, and that sort of stuff.
But Goldsmith is really from English stock.
Then we have the Donovans and the Carols on the other side.
But I went to Boston University, which is by far at least 80% to 85% Jewish population.
And it's Ashkenazi, Zionist, Jewish, almost all of them.
And I never thought about religion or ethnicity or anything like that when I was growing up.
I never even really thought about it.
It was like nothing, you know, whatever.
And I got there and they would claim that the people in Palestine were animals.
They needed to be eliminated and purged from the area.
You know, talking genocide, essentially, ethnic cleansing.
And I was blown away.
I was like, aren't you the people who are always like, never forget?
What are you talking about?
This is really weird.
And the way they would describe them as inhuman.
Well, it's just been going on.
It's on Max right now.
Dave DeCamp, again, what a great heart from Dave DeCamp.
He spotted this from a woman who is a podcaster.
Her name is Abby Libby.
And she said, there are no civilians in Gaza.
And this is the way that they look at them.
I've mentioned members of the Knesset have said this.
That even children, they say, will grow up to be Hamas.
Despite the fact that Netanyahu insisted that millions of dollars be given to the Hamas leadership, despite the fact that the United States has that on record and the United States gave the Hamas leadership in Qatar millions of dollars, starting under the W. Bush administration,
because they wanted oppositional forces in there who would not negotiate because they wanted to stand up for the geographical integrity of Palestine.
They wanted them there so that they could claim that they were being vicious and attacking the Israelis and make it look like the Israelis were always on the defense when they were the occupying and still are the occupying force.
I mean, how much more readily recognizable does it have to be for people?
Well, in this case, this woman, a Jewish woman in the United States, says there are no civilians in Gaza.
This is just like they would say in the Knesset.
They said even babies.
Are viable targets because they'll grow.
This is honest to goodness.
They do this because they'll grow into freedom fighters.
Otherwise, as they describe them, terrorists for Hamas.
The very people that if you speak up for peace here in the United States, they'll call you terrorist Hamas aligned.
They'll cite...
The Anti-Semitism Awareness Act, which also inside it in the text incorporates the accusation that people who are critical of the state of Israel not only are ethnocentric and hateful,
anti-Semitism, but in addition to that incorporates civil rights violation possibility, even for Americans.
They're obviously leveraging this to try to get rid of...
Foreigners who are here on green cards.
Have you read the Constitution and seen that section that says green card power for the feds?
Oh, you haven't.
That's right, because it's not there.
The word immigration isn't there.
It's not there.
How crazy.
How curious.
That's why for years on my program and even on David's show, I've tried to tell conservatives if they believe in the Constitution, if they believe that that is the rule of law in this country, then they have to believe and understand that the feds aren't supposed to have anything to do with immigration.
It's a state issue, as Thomas Jefferson and James Madison pointed out during the alien and sedition crisis of 1798.
And we'll get to the Alien Enemies Act in just a little bit to see again.
How people on the MAGA side are trying to do a disservice to people like James Madison and Thomas Jefferson when people like me bring up the fact that they said that the Alien Act was unconstitutional.
Because Trump is trying to use the Alien Enemies Act.
And to sort of preview things as we get a little further into the next half hour, just consider what might be part of the alien with the word What might be a crucial trigger in order to utilize that,
that is and has been missing in United States congressional and executive branch operations since World War II.
You got it.
So we'll go back to this wonderful, charming lady, Abby Libby.
Boy, I tell you, it would be great to be near her neighbor, wouldn't it?
Because she's just like all the rest.
In Gaza, there are no civilians.
Hamas has drafted everyone down to the newest babies into the war effort.
And get this, and they rejoice when the children they shove into the line of fire die because it's their most powerful weapon against those they hate more than life and blood.
So, in other words, this is essentially the ultimate gaslighting.
Innocent kids.
You probably have seen clips of these kids.
We saw a little bit from Yemen.
There's a lot more.
Blood.
Children wrapped in sheets now that they're dead.
The blood soaking through them on the streets.
Parents carrying their children.
Some of them just infants.
Some of them 8, 7, 6 years old.
They had all the world ahead of them.
And their lives have been snuffed out by armaments that our tax money helped build.
Now, at what point does one try to oppose that in a more intense way?
I don't know.
But why can't we be left out of this?
Especially if there is that constitution that says a declaration of war is necessary for the government to have allies or adversaries.
And that goes to the Alien Enemies Act.
We'll get there in just a little while because that's what they're trying to use.
Trump is trying to use that.
And many conservatives are trying to play on people's sense of patriotism and the figures of the founding era.
You see?
They had this.
Well, you're overlooking a major portion of the statute.
You haven't even read the statute.
I showed it on my show last night.
It's easy to read, and I've got it in a tab.
I'll show it to you on the David Knight Show because it's very obvious that they're misreading it.
for their purposes on the MAGA side because they too don't care when there are impediments that go up against what their plans are and the Constitution should, in their eyes, be completely disregarded or they'll do utter disrespect in an even more intense way and misread things or pretend that something says something when they can't even cite it in a live debate.
So this woman...
Engages in the ultimate gaslighting of children.
And she says, essentially, that the kids got in the way.
They got pushed in the way of the gunfire.
Where does the gunfire, where is it originating?
Who's got the guns targeted on the people in the corral called Gaza?
I'm just asking.
Who started it?
Who took all the land?
Of the grandparents of those people who were stuck in that corral where they just again shut off water and electricity and food.
I cited on Liberty Conspiracy a 2018 article about how the Palestinians were dying from lack of water.
Not literally dying, but they were running into major problems because the Israelis controlled the water supply.
It's incredible.
And this woman...
She says this, and get this, everybody.
She's talking about how children are viable targets for your U.S. government to give weapons to Israel.
Here's her description on X. And I bring this up just as an example of the mindset that I experienced at Boston University.
These are real people, and they want to steer the ship of government in their direction, and they want you to pay for it.
This is the ultimate offense.
This woman is married.
She's a mom.
Oh, she's a knitter.
She's a deadlift enthusiast.
And she's currently growing a human.
And she's host of something called Conspiracy Pill.
She's currently growing a human.
Angry Tiger says, may the Lord Jesus help you call yourself a Christian.
Gerald Salente, you've been watching too much Fox News and Mark Levin.
Thank you.
Unbelievable.
It's incredible.
It's so sad.
And a couple real quick pieces of information for you on this.
Because this story about the attack of the Israelis.
The green light for this was actually given, and this has been reported by the Wall Street Journal.
Michael Tracy, a very left-wing guy who's great on the peace side of things, has filled in for Glenn Greenwald numerous times.
He posted this on the 18th.
After coming into office with a Gaza ceasefire that everyone was supposed to give him the utmost credit for obtaining, Trump spent the next two months ensuring the ceasefire would collapse at the time.
And place of Israel's choosing, culminating in last night's bombardment, which is exactly what I said.
That's why Israel engaged in that up and down, backwards and forwards, stop, start, release to hostages.
No, they're not the right hostages.
Nonsense.
Utterly ridiculous.
The Palestinians were ready to move to phase two.
And as you can see here...
The Israelis never planned to do it.
An Israeli official said that President Trump gave Israel the green light to restart attacks on Hamas after the U.S. designated terrorist group failed to give up hostages, which was worked at and essentially cobbled together and put together as part of the plan from Israel.
Israel then gave the U.S. a heads up before starting the operation, the official said.
So 400 innocent people.
We don't know whether they're actually so-called terrorists or not.
We don't know.
No one was given due process.
No one was extradited.
No one at all.
Those people were killed.
The United States knew about it, did nothing about it.
Unbelievable.
Then we've got this.
We've got Daniel talking on the...
Ron Paul Liberty Report about these attacks.
Daniel McAdams, great job from Daniel McAdams.
Let's hear from Daniel and see what he has to say.
He did the whole show himself yesterday.
Ron wasn't with him.
And we've got a pretty substantial recollection about things, plus coverage from RT.
we go.
We were all very excited.
Trump took power, and it was like a freight train going through government.
All of a sudden, we were getting a look at the way the sausage was made.
We were getting a look behind the screen at what was going on in places like USAID, that the propaganda had told the American people was just doing our bidding overseas, just helping poor people, earthquake victims and such.
The reality is it was an absolute octopus with its fingers.
In every country across the world, promoting agendas that most Americans didn't agree with, but were forced to pay for.
And not only that, but within the administration itself, within the executive branch itself, we've got to look at exactly what people were doing who were on the federal payroll.
And it wasn't much.
First of all, they didn't go to work.
They didn't show up to work.
They were moonlighting.
They were daylighting.
They were taking two or three jobs and what have you all on the government salary.
Didn't want to go back in.
And when they were gone, They weren't missed.
So we thought that maybe, perhaps, he had two choices in front of him.
Was he going to own Biden's idiotic war?
Or was he going to come in and say, this is not my war, this is not my issue.
I campaigned on ending wars and peace.
I'm not going to get involved.
We're pulling out all of American support for this war in Ukraine, this proxy war, and it'll be over soon.
We thought he might do that.
He gave some indications.
And to be fair, There were some very positive developments.
Having a phone call with Putin is very important because under the Biden administration, there was no communication.
But unfortunately, he went much further than that, much further than just trying to be a broker and try to end the war.
He's getting involved.
He's making proposals.
He's telling Russia, you need to stop shooting for 30 days, to which President Putin said, well, what's going to happen in those 30 days?
Is Ukraine going to rearm?
Are they going to pull their troops out where they're surrounded?
This is a complicated issue.
You can't just, you know, we're on the offensive.
We're moving ahead, and you tell us we've got to stop.
So he got more involved in this.
He's made some proposals that, quite frankly, are bizarre, and they won't go forward.
But in the meantime, as he does this, he lifted the hold on weapons and intel to Ukraine.
That just happened a few days ago.
So at that moment, that became his war.
That's when he fully jumped into that bathtub and put himself into it.
And it's a real problem.
And it's not what Americans wanted.
So all this is to say that what started out very promising is now President Trump sinking into the mire, sinking into what happens to, it seems to me, all presidencies, which is the allure of somehow being the king of the world.
And what that entails is getting involved in wars and sucking the United States down.
But that's not all.
So here he bites off a big piece of Ukraine.
And then what does he do?
Well, to their credit, Steve Witkoff went over there and he told Netanyahu we need a deal.
He did it right off, very early.
Stop bombing Gaza.
Let's have a multi-part deal that will result in the resolution of the crisis in Gaza to a degree.
There's other aspects to it.
So you had this deal in place.
Netanyahu began implementing Phase 1. The fighting stopped.
The Houthis stopped attacking Israeli ships.
Everything seemed to be moving in the right direction.
But, of course, Netanyahu, as he is wont to do, said, I don't want to go on to Phase 2. And so he held it up.
And not only did he hold that up, but he held up humanitarian assistance for the people of Gaza who had their houses blown up, the water infrastructure blown up, everything's blown up there.
And they wouldn't even let any.
Humanitarian aid through.
So that's when, of course, the Houthis said, hey, this is not good if you keep this blockade up.
We're going to start hitting your ships again, Israel.
To which Trump responded, again, as I said, with Russia taking on a war that Biden started that's not our war.
And if you go to the next one, here was the response, and it happened last night, and it's absolutely disgusting.
Israel said, okay, it's obvious that the U.S. has our back.
The U.S. bombed the Houthis.
So we are going to go ahead and return to what we like best, which is killing women and children in Gaza.
This is Dave DeCamp at Antiwar.com who writes, Israel restarts large-scale bombing of Gaza.
Over 400 killed.
Many of the dead are children as Israel is hitting homes and tents, sheltering displaced Palestinians.
First they blew up the homes, then they set up tents, and they blew up the tents.
We're back into Biden's policy in Gaza and Israel.
We're back to Biden's policy when it comes to Yemen and bombing Yemen.
We're back to Biden's policy when it comes to Russia.
So what is going on here?
This is kind of what happened in President Trump's first term.
He put a bunch of warmongers around him who are obsessed with fixing the Middle East, and they have their own preferences there.
They're very, very strong devotion to the state of Israel, and that sort of seems to guide all of their policies.
It may guide their policies, But from Iraq to Libya, etc., when they listen to the admonitions of people like Benjamin Netanyahu, all they do is they suck us into wars that we don't need to be in.
And again, that seems to be the case.
So, President Trump, pull yourself back from the abyss.
Sober up.
You don't have to go down this path.
Your presidency right now is at risk.
There are people who want you to succeed, but who will criticize you when they can see clearly that you're going down the wrong path.
I don't presume that you're watching this, but if you are in any way...
Good stuff.
Daniel McAdams.
Big thanks to Daniel McAdams and the Ron Paul Liberty Report.
They're doing yeoman's work.
Yeoman's work, as the term goes.
And I really appreciate everyone's comments on both Rumble and on X. Really appreciate this.
And the Russians are telling me, Rattlesnake George...
Ex post facto laws are prohibited by the federal and state governments.
Consider this.
Oh, yes.
And there are so many instances when they engage in ex post facto prosecution.
And I would bring up also many times that states themselves breach the contract clause by imposing things like minimum wage laws and regulations and things like that.
And that's another area of the Constitution that's utterly tossed out the window all the time.
So good stuff from...
From Daniel McAdams.
And I want to show you a little bit more from RT when it comes to this coverage of what the Israelis did and killing 400 plus people.
That's going to tie into the Trump administration and Pam Bondi going after people who are critical of United States policy in the Middle East.
People like Mahmoud Khalil.
Who is married to an American woman who is eight months pregnant, as you know.
Speaking at Columbia, he was one of the negotiators between the people who were occupying the Columbia campus and the Columbia brass.
And the fact that the federal government sends money over there into Colombia is being used as leverage.
And again, I'll bring up the idea that Colombia should be private and completely private.
If you're not taking government money, it should be considered a private place.
And then people can have the universities that are entirely Jewish, like a Brandeis or entirely pro-Hamas.
And people can decide where they want to go and whether they want their money to pay for it.
When the government takes your money to put it into that giant pot, everybody who has their money thrown into that pot starts to argue over how hot it's going to be and what's going to be cooked inside.
And that is, unfortunately, the tragedy of the commons.
It's an economic axiom.
And it always happens with everything government does because government doesn't get its money through voluntary activity.
Government gets its money through aggressive force.
And that's where we're going to close things off as we finish a little bit on the war coverage and head over into the immigration coverage.
Let's look at RT right now.
*Dramatic music*
These strikes are very unprecedented in the past period of time when the Hamas party and Israel agreed to a ceasefire by late January.
This is a new fresh ground of violence, a major fresh ground of violence in the territory after Israel had earlier said that Hamas has violated the ceasefire agreement as Hamas...
Refused to release the hostages, Israeli hostages.
That was the Israeli narrative.
In return, Hamas responded to these heavy strikes against the Gaza Strip by saying that it has already committed to the ceasefire agreement and wanted the ceasefire agreement to go into the second phase.
What is the situation here now is a situation of war is looming again.
Again over the Gaza Strip, and the people are just fearing that this will bear some kind of worst events for them in the upcoming days or hours, as the population here in Gaza have already gone to market places,
supermarkets, to pick up some goods and commodities that have been already scarce and lacking in the territory over the past.
10 days almost after Israel closed the border crossings and prevented the entry of aid supplies and other gluten communities into The Gaza Strip.
A senior Israeli official calls these preemptive strikes aimed at Hamas commanders, leadership figures and terror infrastructure.
He told Ati they will continue as long as necessary.
The IDF has issued urgent evacuation orders for residents of particular areas across Western Gaza.
And Hanun is designating them as active combat zones.
Residents have been told to leave immediately or take cover with a military warning that staying behind is life threatening.
Israeli intelligence has long warned that Hamas and other Gaza based militant groups were using the ceasefire to rearm, recruit and strengthen their positions.
The IDF estimates Hamas now commands 25,000 operatives backed by 5000 Islamic Jihad fighters.
And even before today's offensive visit.
Hamas has reacted furiously.
Netanyahu and his Nazi government are renewing aggression in the war of extermination against defenseless civilians in the coalition dynamics.
And now another major delay unclear to when.
Well, it is good for Netanyahu, of course.
The Palestinian journalist Sinar Kamal says that the situation for the remaining hostages could be much worse now, but the Israeli Prime Minister is not concerned about that.
Israeli Husseys in Gaza now are living the same situation of the Palestinians which are experiencing because of the Israeli war and because of the Israeli blockade.
And I think this time Hamas will not deal with the Husseys inside Gaza as it did during the past...
I think that Hamas declared this clearly, that what will happen for the Palestinians, the Israeli Hosseis will witness and will experience the same condition.
Netanyahu knows very well that he may kill more Hosseis and captives inside Gaza, but he doesn't care about this.
The only thing that he cares about is his political position and about his right for Israeli government that doesn't interest, that's not interested in any deals
or any solutions with the Palestinians, not only in the Gaza Strip, but also in the whole Palestinian territories,
So, pause it right there.
Pause it right there.
And that is a major, major point.
And, you know, for those people who...
Are saying, you know, you're on the wrong side of this.
You're on the wrong side of this.
How about this?
Let's discuss the moral capacity of the individual to control his or her own God-given life and not be aggressed upon by someone who says, I know better than you how to operate.
I'm going to use you as a battery for energy for the statist machine.
That I want to do X, Y, or Z, regardless of what the X, Y, or Z are.
In philosophy, there's what's called consequentialist philosophy.
It's the ends justify the means.
In a constitutional Republican system, the ends are supposed to be the means.
You stick with the rules.
But even that, if we look at this from an anarchist, no human ruler perspective philosophically, from a voluntarist, agorist position, anarcho-capitalism, which is what I espouse, all states impose themselves on people.
Even John Locke, who argued that the state is there to protect your natural rights to life and your possession of your property.
He assumed that the state exists.
It's people organizing to take something from people.
And his rationale that the state exists to somehow or people come together with the state, he thinks he somehow assumes that all people do so, which is wrong, because if they did, it would be a voluntary agreement.
You wouldn't need the thing called the state.
It wouldn't be political.
It would be a voluntary arrangement if everyone agreed.
That's society.
Personal agreements, personal contracts and agreements, handshakes, written things out without the state getting involved.
That's different.
The state is imposed on people.
So could we just get to the point where the government stops using me as a battery and they stop coming up with this John Locke canard of the government exists to protect you?
Really, how's that?
Well, we force you to pay.
For the government, and then they will protect you.
And they will define whatever the problem or threat possibly is under the auspices of public health.
And they will attack your rights.
They will manipulate the language of what has already been written in statutes.
They'll pay off friends.
They'll define what is national security.
And they'll go and give bombs to Israel to blow up innocent people.
Or they'll attack innocent people in Yemen.
Completely contrary to the Constitution.
They'll define what is anti-Semitism.
And they'll claim that that is now a national security threat.
And they'll define what is an immigrant who is legal and what is an immigrant who is illegal.
Despite the fact that the Constitution doesn't have the word immigration in it.
They will do that.
This is how off the rails these people are.
And let me tell you.
As I've mentioned, I've had numerous conversations with J.D. Hayworth and Tom Tancredo and Pat Buchanan, and I go through all of my scholarship on the immigration issue, and they always, every one of them, yeah, you know, you're right.
Yeah, you're right.
And then they just march on their primrose path.
The federal government's got to do something about it.
It's incredible.
And these are decent people.
And yet they're willing to overlook their own standards about what they think is good and truthful interrelations with people because it's the government system, because they think it's an emergency, because they think there's a crisis.
Well, every crisis that comes along, how about I not get roped into it?
I have a right to be left alone.
Regardless of whether one thinks that the Israelis are the ones who have some great biblical right to something, or they don't, which they don't.
How about that?
How about you just have the moral capacity to not tell someone else how to live his stinking life?
That would be nice.
That would be cool.
And stop using these canards of, it's for your own defense.
How about I get to define that?
Not you, acting in an aggressive way, telling me that it's for my defense.
You're engaging in aggression, telling me it's for my defense.
Could you stop?
That would be awesome.
And a lot more people would be alive today if you had stopped a long time ago.
That would be awesome.
But they don't do it.
And this gets to the final point about the so-called just war theory.
Because the just war theory is done philosophically within a statist construct.
There is no such thing as a political just war.
Because the polis is not just.
Now the concept of the just war is that your nation state has to have been attacked.
And you are engaging in defense.
That's the idea.
You don't engage in initiating the aggression.
It's essentially the non-aggression principle for statists.
It's always defensive.
You are engaging in acceptable activity and justified if you respond, but not if you initiate.
Okay.
But what is the state itself?
It's always initiated aggression against individuals.
John Locke in 1670, in the second treatise of government, said that, and he went off the rails, he was wrong.
He said that in the state of nature, without the polis, people without the political government, they would have their rights, but they'd constantly be at odds with each other.
And Thomas Hobbes essentially said the same thing.
In Leviathan.
And he said, therefore, rather than Thomas Hobbes saying you needed one central ruler, like a monarch, which means, you know, because people can't trust each other, the monarch's going to have total control, the Leviathan.
But what he didn't mention was that you'd have now one human monarch in Leviathan over one country, and you'd have another.
So you're just having people with now human armies behind them, not trusting each other, based on his theory.
Locke, Change things a little bit.
He said, yeah, state of nature, they don't trust each other.
They have their rights, but they don't trust each other.
So men get together and they form the government, the state, to protect their rights.
Again, assuming that it's all men, which therefore you wouldn't need the state to coerce people.
And second, that somehow, if they're too dumb to handle things themselves without the state as a political entity, somehow they still can get together and...
Yeah, form an entity to govern, which is called the state.
So he's saying they're too stupid to come up with their own voluntary arrangements and contracts to arrange their own lives and protection.
But they are smart enough to not only create a state that will manage their protection, but now will act in an aggressive way to take money from other people for the perpetuation of the state.
And when people use the term constitutional authority, There's no constitutional authority for that.
Well, guess what?
There's no constitutional authority.
I didn't sign the Constitution.
I didn't give it my moral precept, and neither did you, most of you, unless you went into the military or you were in politics.
That was a group of people who said, we're going with John Locke's canard that a state will exist that can prey upon your property and take your stuff ostensibly to protect you.
So you've got a protection racket.
That we will perpetuate with a piece of paper that usurps the Articles of Confederation and consolidates government power in the Congress even more, gives them a taxing authority that George Washington and Alexander Hamilton then used to invade Pennsylvania during the whiskey so-called rebellion and use an army the size of the Army of the Potomac to trample on those guys' rights and take their stuff.
No one has a right to the fruits of someone else's labor.
Whether it's written down on a piece of paper or not.
And no one can write your name down on the piece of paper without your permission.
Especially if they're 250 years before you were stinking born.
So the Constitution has zero, zero authority over anybody who is a civilian alive today.
I didn't agree to it.
You didn't agree to it.
Now, I would be happier if they could operate that system of coercion and theft.
According to the rules that the original people said, well, we're going to create a system of coercion and theft, but we're going to put up barriers called the Constitution and we'll put in this Bill of Rights to really make sure that this system of coercion and theft has the barriers up and people can read them.
Well, they don't read them.
They don't care.
Because they're people like Alexander Hamilton.
They're people like Donald Trump.
They're people like the vast majority of people in politics today and in every generation.
They don't care.
They're the kinds of people who worship Abraham Lincoln and think he was a real good guy.
When he was a dirtball, he was a massively corrupt person, a bloodthirsty tyrant.
So, we've got the idea of the so-called just war.
There can be no such thing as just war.
When they talk about Israel as defending itself against Hamas, Any of those soldiers who are carrying firearms that were derived from taxes have no right to carry those firearms.
No agent of a state is engaging in so-called self-defense.
Why?
Because the only way that they could get that stuff is through the aggression of the state.
And that's not self-defense.
That's all offense.
And if you want to find out, try saying, you know what, I'd rather not pay for my own so-called defense as you define it for me.
And then you'll find out.
You'll see what the state is.
It is a machine of aggression.
The constitutional authority they cite is only for those people who swear the oath to it.
Otherwise, it's imposed on you.
You have a right to be left alone.
As noble as those people were in the revolutionary period, it's not self-governance.
It was governance to split away from...
England.
That's not self-governance.
That's a new group of rulers ruling over you.
Self-governance is you ruling yourself.
And John Locke's argument not only assumes that those dumb people who can't come up with their own arrangements somehow can come up with their own arrangements to create a machinery of theft and coercion that will perpetuate itself,
engage in warfare on people, and When it uses tax money to engage even in a defensive war, still call that defensive.
What if I don't want to pay for what you define as defense?
Well, then we find out it's not defensive because it is offensive against me.
Anyone who doesn't want to pay for it will find out how defensive the defense system is of any nation state because it's not defensive.
There is no such thing as just war theory.
It doesn't exist.
Now, within the nation-state, people will say that.
I hope they will add, as far as political philosophy and natural rights are concerned, no state is just.
And that's why, and I've mentioned on David's show before, that's why one of the really enjoyable things, when you look at the history and the life of J.R.R.
Tolkien, is that Tolkien, when asked by his son, said...
You know, I would probably politically describe myself either as a monarchist or as an anarchist.
He said, I would prefer no rulers, no people claiming rule over another person.
He says, but the democracy canard is ridiculous.
It's not you ruling over yourself.
It's majority rule, two wolves and a sheep voting over what's for lunch or dinner.
And that, you know, and they put on all the clothing that they can, but it's still gang aggression.
And then he says, at least with a monarch.
The wars are conducted by the monarch who hires the soldiers, and the people understand that they're separate from the monarch.
The monarch represents the state, the people are the civilians.
At least they're not given this brainwashing of thinking that the government is us.
And I thought, you know, I thought that was a pretty cool, a very astute observation from J.R.R.
Tolkien.
And of course, you know, the Ring of Power represents...
The power of the state or claiming power over other people.
So yeah, very, very interesting.
Let's talk just briefly about, very quickly, about how the Russian and American negotiations have been going.
Actually, you know what?
I'll do the Russian-American negotiations.
Let me shift over, actually.
Since we're talking about the Israeli theme and the anti-Semitism theme and all those types of things, let me give you some of this information in hopefully a good scholarly way.
The fashion in which I engaged this last night was looking at the claims of the Alien Enemies Act and what some people are saying about the Alien Enemies Act and the deportation of some of these people.
Now, there are two facets of the immigration news that are out there.
There's Donald Trump defying a court order that says, stop shipping illegal immigrants to El Salvador.
These gang people that they're claiming are members of this gang.
They're not giving them due process.
They're picking them up here.
But many conservatives say, well, they don't belong here.
They're not here legally.
Again, according to what document?
The Constitution, again, has no word immigration in it.
It's up to the states.
That's why Texas had a Bureau of Immigration in its state constitution when it joined the Union in 1869.
And it wasn't until 1875 that a really bad Supreme Court ruling just invented the federal control over immigration, and they've been arguing about it ever since.
But when it comes to that immigration story, let's talk about the courts right now.
And in fact, Let's hear from none other than the black and white hero of the old days who always got people free, Perry Mason.
Hey.
Is that the Constitution?
Why, yes it is.
Here, government guys, would you like to look at it?
Oh, what's this thing?
I don't understand any of this.
Nah, I don't want it.
You have it.
Perry Mason, good stuff.
Those are always wonderful.
I've mentioned on the program, Earl Stanley Gardner was the author of those, and he wrote other really good hard-boiled detective stories and things like that for the pulps.
And at a certain point, around the 1950s, maybe early 60s, he was one of the wealthiest writers on the planet Earth.
Because all of his Earl Stanley Gardner, Perry Mason novels are super short, really short.
And he would crank out like three or four a year, sort of like...
It was unbelievable.
The guy was amazing.
And so that's Earl Stanley Gardner, of course, the author of the Perry Mason novels.
They're wonderful little stories, too.
So, OK, let's talk about the immigration story as the immigration debate.
Comes around.
The Trump administration defies a judge's order to block Tren de Aragua deportation flights to El Salvador headed to the Supreme Court.
Okay.
And we'll get into the free speech aspect of this as well and tie that in since I already mentioned it.
So he defied the judge.
Now, people have, appropriately so, been talking about how It is the president's prerogative to defy a judge.
The president can do that.
They have separation of powers.
And even though a judge issues his order, the president can say, well, you've issued your order.
Now, let me see you try to enforce it.
Right?
Okay.
Well, what's curious about this is that Donald Trump appeared with Laura Ingraham.
And she asked him at this point whether or not he would defy the judges.
Now, the situation is this.
Every member of every branch swears an oath to the Constitution.
If the president is given a bill that he's supposed to execute, that's been passed by Congress, And it does something that is unconstitutional, like, for example, holding Japanese people in a corral in California.
He's supposed to say, no, not going to enforce that.
I swear an oath to the Constitution.
The pushback then comes, the next step would be, if the Congress thought that that rose to an impeachable offense, to impeach him.
But he has not only the prerogative, he has the duty to not.
Enforce and engage in unconstitutional acts.
Similarly, the justices, they swear owes to the Constitution.
If they get an appeal from someone going through the courts, through the appellate courts, rising into it, whether it's through the regular system of the courts that have been created by Congress between the state court system and the Supreme Court, or it's through an emergency that is asked to be brought in by the executive branch,
they can accept certain cases.
And if they see a case where someone is being tried or prosecuted or has been found guilty based on a statute that is unconstitutional, they can say, you know what?
You can go free.
Because we find this to be unconstitutional, we find for you.
At that point, it would be up to the police on the lower levels to say, you know what?
We're probably not going to be successful with the Supreme Court sitting as it is to prosecute these people, the justice system in various states and on the federal level.
Those justices will find the same way in this similar case, so we're not going to bother expending the revenue to do that.
Until the Supreme Court changes numbers, changes members, it's probably going to be that way for these types of cases, right?
Okay.
So you can apply that to things like Roe v.
Wade and abortion cases until there's a change.
If there's some prosecutorial system that brings in a woman or a doctor for abortion and it's under the status right now, under the Dobbs decision, well, it might be different years from now.
Okay, that's the way that they've set that system up.
And, of course, there's a lot of room for human error there and different human opinions and agendas, obviously.
That's one of the major problems there.
So, now Trump can defy the court.
If he were to be operating in a positive fashion, the way that he would defy the court would be to not engage...
An unconstitutional activity that the court supported if they saw Congress had passed a statute that he had decided was not constitutional.
But that's not the case here.
What's going on is Donald Trump unilaterally is using U.S. code and amplifying it to go into states contrary to the Constitution, A chief executive to go into the states if he is invited in by the governor or by the legislature to protect their republican form of government against an insurrection,
an invasion, or a large form of violence.
If the state legislature or the governor does not invite them in, all those ICE agents, which shouldn't exist under the immigration facet anyway, if you were to call them the militia, if you wanted to imagine that they were somehow, Which they're not.
They can't go into the state unless they're invited, which is exactly the problem with the whiskey situation with Washington and Hamilton.
They were not invited in by anybody in the government of Pennsylvania.
And it was a friend of Hamilton's who was a judge who said that there was a violent insurrection happening in Pennsylvania.
That guy was based in Washington or Maryland.
So then they went in.
They used a pretext.
Even George Washington used a pretext to invade a state.
Should have been impeached immediately.
That's why L. Neil Smith, the science fiction writer, he's got an alternate America.
And the hero in that alternate America is the man who shot George Washington at that moment.
Because he didn't allow for that slide down the slippery slope.
It's very interesting.
You know, he had a...
Washington had a lot of heroic things that he did and a lot of heroic, admirable statements, but that activity should have seen him out of office immediately.
And those people in western Pennsylvania, also in Ohio, they were doing the whiskey stuff.
They had a right to self-defense on a basic human level.
So now Donald Trump has stepped in and said, we are going to ship these people to El Salvador.
So essentially, he's engaging in kidnapping.
Because we don't know whether these guys are criminals or they're not.
He's saying they're criminals.
We don't know.
He engaged in a criminal kidnap of Mahmoud Khalil.
People say, well, he's here on a green card.
Really, again, where in the Constitution is the word green card?
Naturalization is in the Constitution, not immigration.
As Thomas Jefferson said in Kentucky Resolution 4, it is up to the states.
To decide what to do with alien friends on their soil, not the federal government.
Madison said the same thing in the Virginia resolutions.
So Donald Trump is in an interview with Laura Ingraham.
And this is what he said.
They never told the truth.
You know that, you know, they say, well, we don't charge.
Well, they do.
They charge.
And these are judges that shouldn't be allowed.
I think at a certain point, you have to start looking at what do you do when you have a rogue judge.
The judge that we're talking about, you look at his other rulings, I mean rulings unrelated, but having to do with me, he's a lunatic.
I think that, number one, nobody's been through more courts than I have.
I think nobody knows the courts any better than I have.
I would say the chief judge does.
But nobody knows them better than I have.
And what they've done to me, I've had the worst judges.
I've had crooked judges.
I have judges that valued Mar-a-Lago at $18 million because that benefited his case because he wanted to see me convicted of something.
I have judges that had relatives making millions and millions of dollars on the election, ruling on the election.
I had judges that were so corrupt.
We all know that.
I never did defy a court order.
And you wouldn't in the future?
No, you can't do that.
However, we have bad judges.
We have very bad judges.
Okay, let's just stop it there.
Yes, you can defy a court order.
You have a constitutional responsibility to defy a court order.
That's the entire point about the separation of stinking powers, Donald.
Do you get it?
You're very familiar with all of your cases.
Would you familiarize yourself?
A scintilla of information about the Constitution, separation of powers, and then apply logic and understand the way it's supposed to work.
Because some of us out here in this audience know how it's supposed to work, and it's really frustrating.
Please, please, Calgon, take me away.
Come on, Donald.
It's ridiculous.
You...
Have a constitutional duty to defy the courts, but you don't have the constitutional prerogative to break the Constitution, kidnap people without an invitation to come into a state, and ship them to a foreign country where now they might be held for a year without trial in El Salvador.
You also don't have any constitutional power under what is called, you got it, The Alien Enemies Act.
This is something I want to show you about the Alien Enemies Act as talk host Howie Carr brought up one of the big major items that was on tap for many people over the weekend as folks talked about Donald Trump and Pam Bondi not only rounding up the illegal aliens,
but rounding up People like Khalil, Mahmoud Khalil, and others.
Let me give you an example of something that some people have not been seeing on the immigration side of things.
A woman was recently deported.
Why?
Here we go.
Deported Brown University doctor, a doctor, a medical doctor, acknowledged.
She attended Hezbollah leader's funeral on visit to Lebanon, source says.
Wait till you see all the breaches of the Constitution here, which also incorporates things that are done every second of every day in every major airport by the TSA.
A Brown University assistant professor and doctor was deported over the weekend from Boston to Lebanon after federal agents found photos.
A former leader, Hassan Nasrallah, who was assassinated, you know, probably with U.S. weapons, and Iran's supreme leader, on her cell phone, a source familiar with the case told CNN.
So they got into her cell phone.
Where was the warrant for that?
Oh, that's right.
She was just trying to get home.
So they set up a blockade in the airport between her and her home.
Following Dr. Rasha Aloua's return Thursday from a visit to Lebanon, federal agents at Boston Logan International Airport, why are they there?
I don't know.
It's not in the Constitution.
They claim, well, planes go over state borders.
Anything going over state borders is not the pretext for the federal government to go in and say we can have control of it.
And James Madison said that in around 1811 in a letter to someone.
He said it wasn't supposed to be done so that the feds could control anything that went over state borders.
It was supposed to be to stop state-on-state economic aggression like tariffs.
And the word state is in a capital S in Article I, Section 8 of the Constitution, the Interstate Commerce Clause.
So their argument about the airports is utterly fatuous.
But we'll continue.
They found the photos when they stopped her.
At Boston International, Logan International Airport.
They said it was not immediately clear why officers were examining her phone.
Well, they can examine anything they want, can't they?
They don't need a warrant.
The existence of the photos was outlined in a court filing Monday, obtained by CNN affiliate WCBB.
That's Channel 5 in Boston.
As I mentioned, that's where Matt Taibbi's father, Mike Taibbi, worked for a long time.
Great reporter.
Used to watch it when I was a kid.
In explaining why these multiple photos were deleted by her one to two days before she arrived at Logan Airport, Dr. Alloway said that she did not want to give authorities the perception that she supports Hezbollah and the Ayatollah politically or militarily.
The filing reads, per WCBB.
So she was touring around, she was a tourist, and she went to this funeral.
So what?
So the heck what?
Maybe she was just curious.
Does it mean anything?
Even if she supports them, it still doesn't mean anything.
The United States is not at war.
Hezbollah, no one within Hezbollah, a single person, is the United States citing for extradition to come over here to be tried on terrorism charges, however amorphous they are and they want to define them.
Which is exactly what they're going to try to do to people who are critical of the state of Israel on college campuses.
They're going to use terrorism charges against them.
Pam Bondi's already stated it.
The FBI brought it up.
I'll show you that one in a second.
That's Kash Patel.
You know, Mr. Free Speech guy.
I think if you listen to one of his sermons, she said, you know what I mean.
He is a religious, spiritual person.
As I said, he has very high value.
Aloha, 34, acknowledged to federal agents she attended Nasrallah's February 23rd funeral, a public event attended by thousands during her visit, said the source.
Our client is in Lebanon, and we're not going to stop fighting to get her back to the U.S. and to see her patients.
And we're also going to make sure that government follows the rule of law.
Stephanie Marzouk, an attorney representing Aliwa's family, in a federal complaint fighting the deportation, told reporters Monday outside a Boston courthouse.
And that courthouse, I looked it up.
I was there about a month and a half ago, met Jacob Hornberger and my friend Ian's wife to try to help represent supporters from my friend Ian Freeman, who got prosecuted.
Simply because he was dealing in Bitcoin, not harming anyone.
That's the same courthouse.
The same place where this injustice is happening.
And she's been shipped away.
Now, Kash Patel on this is saying that he is going to get started on...
Let me see if I can find this.
He's going to get started on operating...
The FBI in a new program called the October 7th Program.
And it's like Operation October 7th.
And they're essentially going to be telling people that to criticize Israel is possible alignment with Hamas.
That it's possible terrorism.
Just like they tried to do.
With many of those innocent people after 9-11, broad brushing them, saying if you're critical about the United States invading Iraq, we might investigate you.
And the Democrats did the same thing to conservatives who went to schools.
Because they were concerned about their kids' pedagogy in the schools and the LGBTQ stuff.
Lois Lerner, during the Obama administration, used the IRS to target conservative journalism schools.
And now the conservatives are engaging in the same exact tactic.
They're just putting a different name on it.
It's the same form of government aggression for purposes to suppress speech.
It's incredible.
Here's this.
Check this out.
This is it right here.
Daniel McAdams was on it.
Silly Americans, you thought the FBI would be using its resources to keep America safe.
This is from the FBI.
The FBI is committed to establishing the Joint Task Force October 7th.
Literally that name.
What country is this?
To continue the FBI's investigative and victim assistance efforts.
You mean the organization that the United States helped put in charge and funded?
Okay.
Working with our federal and international partners, this task force is a collaborative initiative, don't you love those terms, between agencies and, highlighted in yellow, together we will work to accomplish our vital Counter-terrorism mission.
Very amorphous, very diffuse, very undefined.
It's going to be whatever they want it to be.
You got that right, my friends.
Yes, my friends.
So let's talk a little bit about what some of the MAGA conservatives have been saying on talk radio or on talk television.
Here is Howie Carr out of Boston with a clip from Fox talking about the expulsion.
Of people like Mahmoud Khalil and the other illegal immigrants that they're claiming are illegal, unconstitutionally illegal, that they're shipping away.
Without any trial, they're just kidnapping them.
Because, you know, that's essentially what it is.
People with government guns, who've gotten your money with government guns, now claiming they have the legal so-called authority to do what they want, and Donald Trump sending them now to El Salvador to be held for possibly a year without trial.
So let's talk about Mahmoud Khalil and others, and what they claim is their justification, the Alien Enemies Act.
Let's listen, and I like how I've been in the studio a couple times.
He's a nice guy, but he is really, really off base here.
Virginia.
The Irish didn't own any slaves.
They didn't give a bleep.
So they started rioting.
Do you know what the...
...living in the British Isles were Irish before the potato famine.
And the population was decimated.
Like a fourth of them died and a fourth of them emigrated, got the hell out of the country.
So they're living in slums in places like Boston and New York and Portland.
And so the troops came in and they said, we're going to start grabbing Irish people to go fight in the Civil War in Virginia.
The Irish didn't own any slaves.
They didn't give a bleep.
So they started rioting.
Do you know what the wasps, what the ruling classes did?
They opened fire on the Irish.
They killed hundreds of Irish.
No Venezuelans have been killed.
All they did was take them out of the country, get them off welfare.
So let me just pause there.
Is he actually trying to justify kidnapping of people without trial?
And these guys could be bad guys, but I'm talking about a system of jurisprudence here that they promise to you because you could be one of those people too.
You could be one of those people.
If they're willing to disregard jurisprudence for people in this country, if they're willing to disregard the fact that the U.S. Constitution doesn't have the word immigrant in it, and they're going to engage in that sort of policing, and then ship people to El Salvador,
how in the world is it ethical to justify that kidnapping by comparing it to something completely disconnected, the killing?
The killing of mass numbers of Irish people in the Civil War.
How is there any contextual connection between any of that stuff except government aggression?
How about zero government aggression would be good?
How about it's also wrong to kidnap people and hold them without trial?
Just like some people might think it's wrong for these guys, if they are in gangs, to be engaged in gang activity.
Yeah, I agree.
What's the biggest gang on the planet?
U.S. government.
You got it.
So I think we can understand how the pot can't call the kettle black.
But there's more, because now we go to Mr. Miller and a quote from television about the Alien Enemies Act and a little bit more.
Stop them from selling drugs.
And sent him down to El Salvador.
The Venezuelans have been treated with a lot more kid gloves than the Irish were ever treated in the Northeast.
You know, during the Civil War and after the potato famine.
It's ridiculous.
844-500-4242.
844-500-4242.
So this is Stephen Miller with Casey Hunt, and they're talking about how they're using the Alien Enemies Act, which has been used down through U.S. history.
It was signed into law by John Adams.
You know, John Adams is the guy, just last week the left was saying, he was a great man.
You know why he was a great man?
He defended the British soldiers after the Boston Massacre.
You know when they killed an Irish guy by the name of Patrick Carr?
They had a habit of opening fire on Irish people back in those days.
You kind of left out Crispus Attucks, but we'll continue.
And now we're the oppressors.
So he defended, and he was a big hero of the left last week for defending the British soldiers who were arrested after the Boston Massacre.
But now he's the guy who signed into law the Alien Enemies Act in 1798, so he's got to be a bad guy.
He's like the forerunner of Orange Man.
Bad.
So, you know, Stephen Miller is trying to explain some of this basic history to Casey Hunt, who is just a, you know...
Vacuous anchor cupcake.
844-500-4242.
We'll just play a few of these cuts.
It went on for nine minutes.
He demolished her.
She has no comeback.
She's looking at her phone.
She's on live TV and she's looking at her phone because the producers are trying to give her questions.
Not that the producers are anything to write home about, I'm sure, but they're a little more schooled and educated than this.
Than this bimbat.
So anyway, Stephen Miller, if some crappy, super left-wing, Trump-hating, deep-state, coddling, Orwellian judge like Bosberg,
some Stephen Breyer lookalike like Bosberg can tell the president what to do.
How can you run a country that way?
cut five how are you going to expel illegal alien invaders from our country who are raping little girls who are murdering little girls if each and every deportation has to be adjudicated in a district court judge and
that means you have no country it means you have no sovereignty it means you have no future it is fundamentally incompatible to have a country and have individual expulsions adjudicated by a single district
Okay, I'm just trying to figure out at what point in the system...
Okay, I'm just trying to...
We don't have any ratings, you know?
Now, I'm going to pause it there because I want to give you this chunk of information.
There's a little bit more that Howie offers about the repeated use, and he uses it as well, of the so-called Alien Enemies Act.
Let me give you a little context there, right?
So you got the Alien and Sedition Crisis, 1798.
John Adams...
Very much aligned with the British, as Howie mentioned, very pro-British.
Coming out of the Revolution, however, where the French had helped the United States beat the British in the American Revolution.
We had the Articles of Confederation for quite a while.
They had 11 presidents under the Articles of Confederation.
It was just basically a ceremonial position, the head of the Continental Congress.
Then they usurped the Articles of Confederation with a much more centralizing document called the Constitution.
Despite the fact that you were supposed to have 100% unanimous agreement to just even amend the Articles of Confederation, Hamilton and his cronies were able to get a bunch of the war bonds.
That the farmers around the eastern seaboard had purchased for the revolution.
They bought them up at pennies on the dollar.
And they utilized some of their northeastern leverage to get this new constitutional convention put in.
Washington goes in as president after they finally adopt it.
And they even threaten an embargo against Rhode Island if Rhode Island wouldn't vote on the constitutional convention.
And so they adopt the constitution.
Okay.
The French...
We're still very much aligned with the Jeffersonians.
So you get the Sedition Act, which is you can't criticize John Adams, but you can criticize the Vice President, Thomas Jefferson.
During the John Adams administration, Adams had a lot of Northeastern mercantilist friends who were connected to British interests rather than the French, who were more connected with a lot of the agricultural interests that Jefferson supported.
So Jefferson and Adams are at odds.
Adams gets the Congress to pass the Sedition Act.
In addition to getting them to pass the Sedition Act, he gets them to pass the Alien Act and the Alien Enemies Act.
Now, if you've seen my presentation before on the immigration point, I often bring up that both Jefferson and Madison spoke up in 1798 during the Alien and Sedition Act's problems, and they both said in Kentucky Resolution 4,
Jefferson said that...
He said, resolved that alien friends on the soil of any of the signatory states currently existing now are under the jurisdiction of those states.
Madison said essentially the same thing.
Miller and others have been citing Miller to say, well, that's not exactly what Madison said.
Madison supported the Alien Enemies Act.
So they're conflating the Alien Act and the Alien Enemies Act, which are two separate things.
Now, as I said at the start of the show, Gardner Goldsmith filling in for David Knight on the David Knight Show.
Don't forget, if you want to contribute, it's a rumble day.
Please do so over at Rumble for the David Knight Show.
I would love to see people helping out while I get to fill in for David.
I think I would be feeling like I did Yeoman's work again.
If you love the show, you love David, go ahead and do so.
We'd love to see it.
And I'll try to get the Russians to nod on that and put the word out.
We'll get your comments in a second as well.
Madison spoke up about the Alien Act and said essentially the same thing as Jefferson, because essentially he and Jefferson wrote them together, or he might have just gotten the wording from Jefferson, in the Virginia Resolves, same year, essentially same day I think they released them.
And that spelled out the very obvious point to so many people, that the feds had no control over immigration.
And it wasn't until 1875 with this Supreme Court ruling that they basically invented it from this case called Cheelung v.
Freeman about a California statute on immigration.
So Madison came out against the Alien Act.
Some people are saying, yeah, well, yeah, but he didn't oppose the Alien Enemies Act.
And this is what Donald Trump is using.
To deport these people, whether it's the people that they say like Mahmoud Khalil or others, like this woman that they got at Logan Airport, somehow aligned with terrorists.
Are they engaged in terrorist activities?
Have they been charged with a crime?
No, of course not.
They just make this up.
It's like Humpty Dumpty in the Alice in Wonderland stories.
They make it up, make words mean whatever they want.
It's Orwellian.
So, they make this claim.
And then they use the Alien Enemies Act.
Or it's the gang guys.
Alien enemies, they're bad guys.
We're going to get rid of them.
Have you been invited into Colorado?
No.
But we're going in anyway.
Is there anything in the Constitution that lets you do that?
We're using the Alien Enemies Act.
Well, as I mentioned at the start of the show, what is the implication when you hear the word enemies?
And this is one of the giant canards about the United States with its standing army, because it perpetuates this sentiment that there's always an adversary or there are always allies.
Contrary, of course, to what George Washington in his admonition said, no permanent alliances.
There was a good side, right?
Friends, but not necessarily alliances.
A lot of people are talking about the Alien Enemies Act.
So why don't we bother reading it?
Because, as you might have thought, as I knew, and as you probably know, enemies implies that there is a declared war from Congress.
This only applies during a time of declared war.
Let's check it out and see what it says.
Whenever there is a...
Declared war, and by the way, this comes from the House website.
That W, if you're watching, should be capitalized because it's a term of art and it has certain rules like treatment of those you apprehend.
Whenever there is a declared war between the United States and any foreign nation or government, or any invasion or predatory incursion is perpetrated, attempted, or threatened against the territory of the United States by any foreign
nation or government,
That's nation or government, okay?
Because if they're not part of a national army, there is a different way to approach this.
It's called letters of mark and reprisal.
But declaration of war is against a nation state.
The president...
If the president makes public proclamation of the event, all natives, citizens, denizens, or subjects of the hostile nation or government, being of the age of 14 years and upward, who shall be within the United States and not actually naturalized,
shall be liable to be apprehended, restrained, secured, and removed as alien enemies.
The President is authorized in any such event by his proclamation thereof or other public act to direct the conduct to be observed on the part of the United States.
toward the aliens who become so liable, the manner and degree of the restraint to which they shall be subject, and in what cases, and upon what security their residence shall be permitted, and to provide for the removal of those who, not being permitted
to reside within the United States, refuse or neglect to depart therefrom, and to establish any other regulations that are found necessary in the premises of the public
So, if there is a declared war, obviously.
If there are citizens from that foreign nation who are here, people think they could be risked, that something could happen, so the president can apprehend them.
What's curious about that is if there is not a declared war, they have to issue letters of marque and reprisal against people who are non-uniformed people who aren't associated with the state.
That's the only way that they can do it.
And even if they do that, issuing letters of mark and reprisal, they still can't, in a time of non-war, go into the States unless they're invited.
These are very basic, simple syllogisms.
That's a four-step syllogism.
It's very, very simple.
And people are getting on national television claiming the authority to cite the term Alien Enemies Act, and they're not even...
Acknowledging honestly to people, not giving you the respect of mentioning that they're deceiving you by not discussing the fact that it only applies during times of warfare, declared war.
That's the problem.
I see this all the time.
They claim invasion.
Well, what do you do to respond to an invasion against what you claim are invading immigrants?
You either declare war against the invading nation state.
Or if they're not attached to a nation state and uniformed from the state, the only way you can go after them, according to their constitution, is letters of mark and reprisal.
And you can't go into the states unless you're invited or if there's a declaration of war.
These are basic.
These are simple.
They're inarguable.
And yet they play this game.
This is what we're up against.
This is just the basic.
I'm not going to win any political arguments in any courthouse or in any legislature.
I'm just speaking for truth.
That's all.
That's all that satisfies me.
That's it.
If I can convince somebody else that that argument is sound and valid and honest and ethical, I feel okay.
That's cool with me.
I did a service to my father.
I did service to God and my friends and those other people out there.
I treated you honestly.
And that's all.
I can walk away happy.
That's it.
I don't know how these people sit with themselves.
They've got much larger agendas.
And of course, you're always given the false choice.
It's Donald Trump or it's Joe Biden.
It's this or it's that.
And where do your rights go?
Right?
In fact, let's talk about false choices right now.
Our guest is ready to join us.
She is a terrific commentator, amazing researcher, great host.
And an all-around amazing woman.
And I want to let you know that I have spoken with her on Liberty Conspiracy on my program.
And I've had the opportunity to talk to her about many, many things.
And it's never enough.
And the audience loves it.
And on my show, I often do this.
We do my...
A little deference to my time at Star Trek when I was at Star Trek Voyager.
We engage in the Vulcan mind meld on the David Knight Show.
I must try to mind meld with it.
Demons!
Trinity ends.
Trinity ends.
Our minds are merging, Doctor.
Our minds are one.
I feel what you feel.
I know what you know.
All right, it's time to bring in our guest on the David Knight Show.
She is, of course, a wonderful researcher, a terrific, very, very nice person.
She's Courtney Turner.
Hi, Courtney.
How are you?
Hi.
Good to see you.
I'm well, thanks.
How are you doing?
I'm doing great.
I'm doing great.
And I know you're down in Tennessee, right?
Yep.
How are things there?
They're good.
Yeah.
I love it.
I love it.
And I love your color motif.
You always are so beautifully color-coordinated.
And it actually matches.
Let's bring this in.
It matches your website, which is terrific.
Look at this, everybody.
Look at that.
Thank you.
That's great stuff.
Courtney, thanks for being here and joining us as a guest on The David Knight Show.
You've got a lot of things going on that you do every day virtually with productions and commentary and things like that.
You've got your website.
You've got your X feed.
Tell people how to find you over on X and on your website, Courtney.
So, my website is CourtneyTurner.com, and I spell my name like Courtney.
It is pronounced Courtney, although some people like to say Courtney, but it is Courtney, but it's spelled C-O-U-R-T-E-N-A-Y, and then Turner, T-U-R-N-E-R, that's the easy one,.com, and that's where you can find all the places to find me, and then at X,
I'm also at Courtney Turner, so, yeah.
Yes, yes, yes, and Courtney, a lot of your...
Productions, your video segments and things like that are available through your XFeed.
But I would recommend people to go to your website because that way they won't miss anything.
And you can support her there.
You've got lots of interesting stuff.
All sorts of interesting stuff.
And you can check on my Substack, too.
That's where I put all of my podcasts early.
So you get early access to them.
And they're also ad-free.
I know people have complained about the ads.
So for my paid Substack, subscribe.
That's the way I reward them.
They don't have to sit through the ads because they've already supported me.
I know it's the price of a fancy latte these days.
Trade out one of those a month if you like the work that I'm doing and you want to see it continue.
Isn't that great to think that somebody can support a good person?
For that a month.
That is really remarkable.
I love that.
And I hope people will contribute to you.
And of course, filling in for David, I hope people will contribute to David today over on Rumble.
Very important to focus on Rumble.
Courtney, you've got a book coming out soon.
And it deals in part with Hegel.
And we talk about the false choices out there.
Let's discuss this a little bit because...
This is coming out on the 11th of this month.
Sorry, go on, yeah?
Yeah, yeah, go ahead.
I'm going to show people this.
Here we go.
Hegel's Dialectic, A Gnostic Jacob's Ladder, and the Machinery of Control.
How Ancient Mysteries Shaped Modern Power, Unveiling the Spiral of Geist in History and Today.
Available March 11th.
Is that still the date?
So, yes.
So, I put up a sneak peek on my sub stack.
I've outlined five more chapters.
So, it is far from done.
And there's a lot of editing.
I'm certainly far from any kind of a proofreader or editor.
So, it needs work on that arena.
But yeah, I've outlined already five more chapters.
So it will still be a short book, but it is a book.
It will be a little bit more lengthy than what's available there.
But I wanted to put a little sneak peek preview, you know, and see if people wanted to give me some feedback.
And yeah, as I'm developing it, I'm really hoping to be able to publish either with a publisher or if not, I will self-publish sometime in April is my goal.
But, you know, best laid plans of mice and men.
I've got to tell you, Courtney, Peter Thiel is getting involved in publishing.
He's got a non-fiction wing.
He's got a science fiction wing, and they're bringing over writers from Bayon Books.
So who knows?
Maybe it'll turn out that you'll be able to convince the technocratic Peter Thiel.
If he scoped any of my work, I might not be his personal favorite.
Maybe not a good connection on that, but it would be funny, wouldn't it?
It would be awesome.
Yeah, it would show that maybe he's more open-minded, right?
Yes.
Yeah, I welcome it.
Yes, if he's interested, he's more than welcome.
We can have a conversation, see what the deal is and if it works for both of us.
But yeah, but either way, I will definitely publish it.
And yeah, I go through the ancient mystery cults, and I outline kind of how they paved the way for Hegel's dialectic, which is kind of a systematic, it's very methodical.
Not that, I don't really think that it's all that new.
I think it's more, you know, he's codified a system, an operating system.
And I talk about, you know, how that developed, and then...
How it's relevant in current times.
It's a really important thing to think about because we are on a ribbon that's been unspooling for millennia.
Going back generations, going back to pre-Platonic days.
We're talking all the way back to Egyptian days and Babylonia and stuff, biblical times.
And I mean, we're all always in biblical times, but yes.
And Courtney, it's so good to see you.
I'm so glad to talk to you.
And there's so many things to discuss too, whether they're live events.
But this book, very interesting because there might be some terminology that maybe if I can ask you to lay these out.
If we talk about things like the ancient mystery schools and the term in the title, Unveiling the Spiral of Geist, and Gnosticism and Hermeticism, can you sort of give us some thumbnails about some of these ancient mystery school concepts and a couple of these that have driven us towards Hegel and the Hegelian dialect within statism and religion?
Yes, absolutely.
So my thesis, as you can see from the title, is that Hegel's dialectic is actually a Gnostic Jacob's Ladder.
So many might be familiar with the story of Jacob's Ladder in the Bible, which is, you know, this reference of the angels ascending to heaven.
And I see this, I see his dialectic very much as an inversion.
And much more aligned with the Gnostic Jacob's Ladder, where he's really seeing, he talks about, you know, unveiling the spirit of Geist, and Geist is the world's spirit.
And he believes that this is, you know, how history...
And Geist, which is the world spirit, progress towards the, he calls it the rational absolute.
And the absolute is the end, which is, you know, essentially the omega point, which is equivalent to God.
He perceives that as God.
But rational is a little bit deceptive, I would argue, as a sapien.
And that's really, you know, the case that I make in this pretty short book.
He himself talks about how reason is speculative.
And, you know, of course, this is translating.
I don't read German, so I am reading the English translations.
However, he does say that it's speculative, and he very clearly explains that speculative is no different than mysticism.
So when he says that it's rational, I think a lot of people think, oh, very logical, systematic.
And yes, he actually, so people often think of the dialectic as being thesis, antithesis, synthesis, right?
And, you know, we could reduce it to that.
I think that's not an unfair way to colloquialize the triadic that he codified.
However, he never said thesis, antithesis, synthesis, not even the German translation of that.
That was really, it was first Ficka who had put forth that Trilectic.
And Ficka is an interesting character.
He was very immersed in, you know, the esoteric circles.
He was very good friends with Pestalozzi.
He actually popularized Pestalozzi's ideas on education and, you know, convinced people.
He actually took it a step further, Pestalozzi.
He's done quite a good job in, you know, inculcating these ideas.
I would say, based on the world we live in today.
But he was really immersed in these Illuminati circles, some of these esoteric circles, and he interpreted Kant's notion of the dialectic as being thesis, antithesis, synthesis.
And then, I'm probably mispronouncing it, forgive me, but Shalibaus was a scholar of Hegel, and he must have seen that reference from Ficka, and he, you know...
This thesis synthesis.
But Hegel himself never used those terms.
He talked about it being the abstract, negative, and concrete.
And he believed in the historicity of man.
We see this term in a lot of...
Heidegger talks a lot about historicity.
Hegel believed in these very specific world historical figures who would advance the historicity of man, and he very much idolized and worshipped them.
I guess they would be kind of like saints in his framework.
That's my projecting onto him, but I think it's a good analogy.
He talks about people like Napoleon, who were world historical figures, and he really had great respect and admiration.
For Napoleon, Machiavelli.
So he's talking about this spiral.
And often it's depicted as a spiral.
The Hegelian dialectic.
Which is why this cover took tremendous work.
And I'll just tell you that AI had a really hard time with spiral staircases.
But I finally got this.
And I liked it because it was so serpent-like.
And I thought that was perfect.
It is perfect.
It is perfect.
And you've got the Ouroboros-type snake going around.
Around the enlightened man, right?
Yes, exactly.
And, you know, the terminology, Courtney, as you mentioned, every one of these packs a real punch.
It's very important to understand that when we're talking anything away from the Christian truth of Christ, God, And the way through Christ, you have a lot of these different alternative views of how to achieve some great enlightenment.
And it could come from a hermetic thing from the sky somehow blessed upon us like Hermes, Mercury coming down.
Eagle is very inspired by, yeah.
Exactly.
Or it could be materialist Gnostic mankind, which itself is satanic.
And then you've got this ladder similar to the Tower of Babel achieving some greatness.
And this materialist greatness with historicism mixed in is...
Really, a real foundation of what Hegel believed.
He believed in the furtherance and the betterment of man through history, through time, and regardless of any Christian attachments, mankind through history and great leaders and coming together and shaping the material world could achieve this wondrous,
incredible, beautiful world for the future.
And that's where you get to this statism and machinery of control, right?
Absolutely.
And he believed, you know, he talked a lot about freedom.
He believed he was a Christian, although I would argue he was more aligned with a Gnostic or a Hermeticist, you know, maybe Christian mysticism.
Yeah.
But he talks about, yes, so the state is God to him.
That is the ultimate absolute manifesting in the rational absolute that he discusses.
And he talks a lot about freedom and how humans can't...
Essentially, he believes that humans have no freedom without complete subservience to the state.
And he's talking about the Geist as a collective intelligence, right?
Right.
It's like Rousseau with the general will.
Yes.
So the freedom is about a collective end.
And this is so much of what we're seeing today, right?
It's this kind of inversion.
And one of the things I really tried to lay out for people in this book that I think is a concept that's very misleading to a lot of people is you keep hearing freedom, right?
That word gets thrown around a lot.
Freedom is not synonymous with free will.
And I think people conflate the two very often.
And when they hear a lot of these occult esotericists and mysticists talk about things like freedom.
I mean, you hear it from Teilhard de Chardin.
You hear it from Barbara Marks Hubbard.
They're always talking about the radical freedom.
But it's very Thelemian, in my opinion.
You know, Crowley-an.
The do-is-thou-will type of freedom.
Yes, Alistair Crowley.
All the law do is without will.
Yeah.
Exactly.
Or Nietzsche, will to power, right?
It's not free will.
Free will is a vehicle.
It's a vehicle for morality, for virtue.
Right.
Without free will.
And that's what the Gnostics invert, right?
Because they wanted to have the knowledge, the Gnosis.
And they believe that Lucifer is a light bearer who will illuminate them so that they can have access.
Mankind could have access to the Gnosis that was limited by the ignorant Demiurge, or you could perceive it as maybe it was evil, malignant, because it limited man's power.
And you know, Courtney, just real quick, just a quick sentimental comment.
What I've often got from this as I started to study it, and you've been a great guide with all of your podcasts, and it's just been wonderful to talk to you every time I talk to you.
And even my brother's like, who's that woman?
She was great.
But I gotta say, one of the things that they play upon, I think, is there's a mixture of self-doubt for people.
Ego for people.
And I think you can see it encapsulated in the Oprah book club and the self-help books, which is that sort of Gnostic idea writ large is the Gnostic idea where you are skeptical of yourself,
but you know that through some mystical discovery.
And somehow you can build and build and build and become better and better and better.
And this, they try to apply to a worldwide template and human history.
And it's very egotistical.
And it actually assumes that you can tell others how to run their life eventually.
Because if somebody wants to figure out, they're not part of the general will.
They're not part of the gnosis.
Exactly.
Oprah, I would argue, has platformed almost every single one of the, you know, predominant thought leaders in the New Thought movement.
And New Thought is really a new iteration of the Theosophical movement.
You got it.
Yes.
She has a stronger emphasis on mentalism, which is the first principle of hermeticism.
Yeah, she's like Madame Blavatsky with a TV show.
There you go.
Yes.
Hey, let's get a couple questions.
We're focused on mentalism, which is the first one.
Yeah, absolutely.
I'm going to turn to the Rumble chat real quick and see.
A, do not follow is in X. He says, I'm convinced.
Ah, thank you.
And he uses the photo of Father Guido Sarducci from Saturday Night Live.
He's actually an old friend of mine.
We went to high school, the same high school.
He's a great guy.
And his family, longtime family in our area.
Great, great people.
Thank you.
Thank you, fellow conspirator.
Do not follow.
Over at Rumble, and remember, you can donate to the David Knight Show at Rumble.
We're going to be focusing on Rumble while I'm here this week, filling in for David.
And so over at Rumble, let's see.
We've got a few things here.
Let's see.
The Russians are telling me, my brain chip receiver, Courtney, they're controlling my thoughts, of course.
I only preach the Russian propaganda, so remember that.
E-Pigeon17 says, DK went bald today, huh?
Yes, it's true.
It's true.
And I see Jason Barker, Knights of the Storm, is there.
Yes, it's great to see all the writers and readers who are there.
Courtney's thoughts on Rush, Jacob's Ladder, the song Ask Birdhouse Blues.
Hmm.
Oh, I don't know it.
We'll have to test that out.
I know.
Yeah, and then you can describe it.
Birdhouse, I'd love to get your thoughts if you want to put them into the chat.
We'll make it a two-way thing.
That's great.
And Shevkin says, DK also lost weight.
Yes.
Yes.
Well, what can you say?
Any friend of Father Guido is a friend of mine says a Nikon.
Thank you very much.
And let me ask you, Courtney, as you went through the research on this, you've already covered so much.
And, you know, a lot of folks in our circles were inspired to get into this because of...
Charlotte Isabet and the education establishment and the way that they tried to turn children into good cogs of the machine with the Prussian model.
And even before the Prussian model, a lot of people are unaware of the universalist movement in Boston and how they tried to get government-run schools, how Harvard was really pushing that.
Even as far back as the 1600s, they wanted to do that, and they just couldn't do it, couldn't do it, couldn't do it.
People did it privately.
Then when the Irish came in, they wanted to separate the Irish Catholics and their children from their Catholic schools.
And that really started up in the late 1800s.
And then you have John Dewey.
A lot of these different figures, they're all mixed in with either straight-up Marxism, cultural Marxism, or different forms of this that people might have seen over the years.
And Charlotte Isabeet was one of the real good people on this.
John Taylor Gatto.
As you know, I was friends with Sam Blumenfeld.
For years, Sam sort of inspired Charlotte on her quest.
What inspired you to start looking into this?
Was it that direction of things that started you off looking at these things?
So my kind of a, you know, quote-unquote wake-up moment was in 2020.
And, you know, I...
For those who are not familiar with my story, I have kind of an unusual birth story.
I was born with several physical complications.
So I'm blind in one eye.
I wear bilateral hearing aids, but I actually didn't get hearing aids until I was almost six years old because I learned how to speak by reading lips.
I had heart surgery when I was a year old.
I was born with like fine graphic motor impairments, stunted growth, hypotonic limbs.
They told my mom the best she could hope was to find a nice institution for me to spend my life.
Fortunately, they were wrong.
Fortunately, my mom didn't believe that, so we fought for me to overcome this great prognosis.
But in 2020, when everybody's faces was covered, firstly, I was fired from both of my jobs at the time.
So I was coaching.
I was a CrossFit coach and a personal trainer, and I was also doing aerial acrobatic performances.
Doing essentially motivational speaking, but I would talk about the philosophy of movement.
So kind of in like a Bruce Lee kind of vein.
So lots of people talk about the physiological benefits or the emotional, psychological benefits of physical training.
And, you know, all of those are absolutely, I don't think I need to add to that.
I think those are kind of self-evident.
But I would talk about it in philosophical.
How it teaches us to overcome adversity in life.
And I would use my personal story as a testament to that.
And I would do the aerial acrobatic performances to show people what's possible and nobody thought it would be.
But all of my speaking events and performances were canceled.
And then, of course, I was fired from both my jobs.
I couldn't talk to anybody because I didn't realize how much I still depended on nonverbal communication until all the coping mechanisms I had spent my life developing were then stripped from me because people were wearing face diapers.
So I found myself just very isolated, very depressed.
You know, I will fast forward.
A lot of people had actually suggested I start a podcast.
I was very unfamiliar with podcasts.
I had no idea what they were.
But somebody in a dear friend of mine actually had sent a video to me.
I don't know why, but in 2020, everybody had, you know, immediate crises at midnight that I had to, you know, assess and analyze, you know, existential crisis at midnight when I'm like trying to go to bed.
But a friend of mine sent me this video and it was a video.
Dr. John Coleman's speech on the Committee of 300.
Nice.
And he said, have you ever heard of him?
Have you ever seen this?
And I said, no.
And he said, okay, watch this.
And it was just a 40-minute clip of it.
It's a longer, you know, presentation.
And I think it's part of a bigger presentation, but I haven't been able to find that.
I'm surprised that was even on YouTube.
But it is.
And it's still available.
Wow.
I know.
Amazing.
He said, okay, watch this and then call me back.
So, of course, I watched it and we were on the phone until 5 a.m.
But I started to...
You know, trying to uncover whatever I could from Dr. John Coleman.
I ended up doing, like, finding all of his old, well, not all, but a lot of his old, like, radio interviews and, you know, whatever videos I could find, getting his books.
And I saw that he had a book on Tavistock.
And at the time, it was retailing for, I think it was $4,000.
Wow.
They must really not want me to read this because that's a bit out of my price range.
Really would like to know what's in there, but I don't have $4,000 to spend on it.
You know, Courtney, I've got to tell you, my mom had that, and I don't know what happened to that book.
Oh, well, you should tell her that that version, now it's on Amazon for $25, but I bet that they've probably done some fancy editing.
So you should tell your mom, she should find that, because that might be worth some good money.
My friend John Kleisake actually has it.
Oh, that's right.
She gave him all her books.
That's right.
I know.
I was like, John, if you ever need some money, your library is worth a lot.
I don't think he's looking to sell any of it.
But, you know, just for him to know.
He's got a very, very expensive library there.
But so I found the PDF and I read it three times in a week because I was so riveted.
But for those who aren't familiar with my story, my background academically was very seeped in philosophy and psychology.
You know, I wrote two 85-page theses in high school and dream analysis.
My school actually published my findings.
I did field study as well as a research compilation.
There were two 85-page theses in high school.
And then I also did several independent studies in philosophy in high school.
And then I majored in philosophy in college.
Thank you.
That's so sweet.
Seeing the comment about how lovely your voice is.
Thank you, Wayne, for the comment.
I appreciate it.
And it really does mean a lot to me because, you know, I learned how to speak by reading lips.
So, you know, it's...
But I...
Yeah, so then when I graduated, I went to Stella Adler.
So, of course, my parents were like, wow, where did we go wrong?
You know, she went from a neuroscience major to a philosophy major, and now she wants to be an actress.
We really screwed up here.
But when I read this book from Dr. John Coleman on Tavistock...
It kind of converged all of my interests and my studies because I realized how much all of those fields had been used for social engineering.
And it was kind of like a shock to me.
I had to do a major paradigm shift.
And it also was, you know, I could see how with the...
My philosophy studies, so much of what I was taught was really indoctrination and was such an inversion of what was actually in the text.
And I was very familiar with...
The Frankfurt School, but of course I was taught it from a very different lens, but now I was seeing where the Frankfurt School converges with the Tavistock psychologists and with the fields of entertainment and film and music and how this was all being.
So that was really my foray into, wow, everything I thought was...
Or maybe not everything, but a lot of things I thought were true were kind of a lie.
So I really had to do some, you know, self-reflection and examine, you know, what I thought I knew might not be quite as I thought.
You know, you sentimentally, Courtney, get me thinking about how curious it is to be a young person and see some of these older people who've been in the trenches fighting, talking about Mancus, talking about...
You know, the Frankfurt School or cultural Marxism, talking about Horace Mann.
And then, you know, they hand you this information, you run with it.
And you already are interested.
And then you start to discover new things.
You come up with new connections where you say, you know what?
Based on what I learned there, I just got something that I think I can add to this that fits in with this.
I didn't know that this was going on.
And you build on their scholarship.
And it's really cool.
Like, you know, you mentioned John.
John's work has been exceptional.
And, you know, I think about other people like Sam Blumenfeld, working with some of the people from the New American originally.
And, you know, it's amazing to see how...
I think I might have mentioned to you years ago, my father, when he worked with Charlotte down in Washington, tried to eliminate the education department under Reagan, and they were having their filing cabinets broken into by Carter holdovers, and they thought their offices were bugged, and they would go to dinners outside in restaurants and have meetings there.
He gave me her number.
He's like, if you ever need to contact somebody, she's up in Maine.
She was only a few hours away.
At that time, you don't really know that.
That was just within my family.
We didn't have the internet.
We didn't know that Charlotte was rising to national or international prominence.
She was a lady up in Maine who was working on this stuff the way Sam was down in Boston working on his stuff.
It was very isolated.
Now here we are together and you get to build on this scholarship.
I'd love to get your thoughts, Courtney.
As you put together the book And it's
So March 11th, I had put up on my Substack.
So what I've done is available.
I've already outlined five more chapters that I will be adding.
And I'm hoping to officially publish so people can get a physical copy.
But in the middle of April is my goal.
So I'm hoping that by April people could buy a physical copy.
But as of now, they can read the rough draft that I've put forth.
And that is on my substack.
It's Courtney's substack.
I spell it like Courtney.
So it's Courtney's substack.
And you can find it there, what I have so far.
This is a neat idea.
Is it the substance that's in there that you've already put together?
It's a pretty neat idea if you do this for the paid subscribers.
Is that sort of the way you're going about it?
That is the way I'm going about it.
So I have made a lot of it available to the general public.
Part of it behind the paywall mostly.
The last third is behind the paywall.
But, you know, you can use your free unlock if you want to.
But, yeah, it was really to try and build community interactive, get some feedback as I'm developing this concept because, you know, a lot of people have obviously done work on Hegel.
I don't think I'm, you know, I'm not pioneering anything here.
But I'm really trying to bring it to, although I know the title sounds a bit esoteric and it sounds a bit academic for some people, but the way I laid it out, You know, yes, I do go through.
Obviously, you can't talk about Hegel and not explain the philosophical presuppositions.
You know, and I think there are theological presuppositions as well that, you know, need to be fleshed out.
But I really try to...
Bring this to current day and explain to people why it's so relevant, because whether Hegel intended to or not, and it's my estimation that he was signaling to the initiates.
I do think he was a part of that community.
There's a lot of evidence to substantiate that.
We know he was very influenced.
One of his strongest influences was Jacob Boma, who Madame Blavatsky herself credits as being one of the greatest mystics of all time.
He was actually a cobbler, but he felt that he was capable of so much more because this is the big revelation that these occult mysteries teach you is that you are God.
And it's interesting because a lot of them use this flowery prose almost like a new form of legalese.
Actually, you have a section in here you even mention in the sample that people can see on CourtneyTurner.substack.
Yet Hegel's prose is no open invitation.
It's a sapien, layered, circuitous, a fable-like code that smuggles esoteric messaging beneath its surface.
To the uninitiated, it is a labyrinth.
To the adept, a map.
That is not only beautifully written, Courtney, that is spot on.
Tell people about the years we're talking about with Hegel and then give us something.
Something that the viewers of The David Knight Show might want to take away with them as they think about going to CourtneyTurner.substack, following you on X. We'll give those addresses out about this Hegelian book and why, from that era of Hegel and a lot that preceded it, we have to hold on to really key lessons and maybe give people one of the big lessons from his era,
his thoughts, into today.
That you might want to tell people.
So he was thiefed in the era of German idealism.
And I would argue this is really very much, you know, it's very mystical.
It's not grounded in, you know, like a rational kind of a perspective on truth.
It's much more derived from a Neoplatonic perspective.
And so this is, of course, where we get right after him is Marx and Engels who claim they will turn him on his head.
And I would argue that Marx is also very much, you know, in that Gnostic camp.
I haven't put this into the book yet, but one of the chapters I've outlined is something I talk a lot about, the little g Gnosticism.
This is a term that I use to, you know, to kind of put...
It's an umbrella for a lot of these occult mystery belief systems.
I have to insert this real quick, Courtney.
I have a bunch of writing on Marxism collectivism, and it's essentially a book that I've formed.
It's a couple hundred pages right now, and it's based on scripts that I wrote a couple years ago when I first got in contact with David Knight and Karen, and David did a couple videos, segments.
For these larger video series, this larger video series I was doing for MRCTV and the thesis that I've...
Injected into the Marxism thing is exactly what you say.
The Gnostic, Marxist, Gnostic view.
That's exactly what it was like.
And people don't understand the strange mystical nature of that that goes way, way, way back, all the way to alchemical ideas of the ancient Egyptians and Plato and so on and so forth.
Yeah, and, you know, Marx himself wrote oaths to Satan.
He was absolutely a Satanist.
Hegel, I would argue, you're absolutely correct, he's an alchemic.
Alchemist.
Spiritual alchemist.
And one of the terms he uses that really cements this notion is that he talks about Alfhaben.
And Alfhaben is a very oxymoronic term.
It's a German word, but in English it translates to lift up and preserve while simultaneously canceling and tearing down.
So it has these oxymoronic meanings, the connotation of it.
I would argue that it's the Aufheben rungs on the spiral that create the Gnostic Jacob's Ladder.
This is awesome.
And it's very relevant for what we're up against today because I have recently done a show.
I called it the technological...
Immunitization of the eschaton.
And for those who are not familiar, in political reference, the immunitization of the eschaton is a notion of bringing heaven on earth.
And so I really think that what we're seeing with this transhuman movement is a battle between, regardless of your worldview, you know, it's not for me.
I believe in free will, and my hope is that we can preserve the free will of humanity.
Humans 1.0 and not humans 2.0.
But in that, you know, the free will, I think that there's the people who believe that we were endowed with free will by our creator, right?
This is codified in our Declaration of Independence here in the United States.
I think it's one of the things that makes the United States so unique.
Not that there aren't wonderful people and beautiful places all over the world, but that document that stipulates that we were endowed with inalienable rights from our creator, the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
And our creator was not...
Tesla.
And it was not Tesla.
It was not Elon Musk.
It was not Elon Musk.
And I think there's this battle between the people who believe that we have a benevolent You know, creator who has endowed us with these inalienable rights and that, yes, we are limited, we are flawed, we are fallible, but that, you know, part of our journey here is to exercise our free will and that affords us the potential for morality,
you know, for virtue and, you know, aspirational goals, whereas there's the other view, which is that we've been trapped.
And that we have been limited and that through gnosis or the theurgy, right, this is the divine work, which theosophy means the divine work, right?
And so through the theurgy, they believe that they can achieve this gnosis and they can bring heaven on earth through synthetic means.
And so that's what we're seeing with the transhuman agenda is they want to make everything synthetic.
And, you know, create what they think.
I think it's going to be hell on Earth, personally.
It doesn't seem like heaven to me.
But that's what they believe.
To me, it seems very dystopian.
And I think technocracy will, you know, bring forth a tyranny unlike anything we could possibly even conceive.
100%.
100%.
And, of course, you know, give people who are engaged in that tyranny their false argument that, well, you know, it's all being done through the most efficient means.
We're doing this with computers.
This has been perfected.
We're doing this.
We're doing that.
When it's all based on hubris.
Courtney, I think that one of the grand spiritual battles for every man is the battle between humility and hubris.
Yes.
Yeah.
And that maximizes itself through avenues of the state, whether it's personal hubris and then applied to the state, claiming it's for your own good that I'm taking control of your life.
Or it's, in some ways, the hubristic puppet masters play upon people's own humility or self-doubt in that Oprah way, where they say, you can perfect yourself.
You can do this, but join us.
This is how it's done through the gestalt, through the Gnostic.
We have a couple comments, actually, the Russians are telling me.
We've got this from fellow conspirator, do not follow.
He says, the full length, the Club of Rome, Chatham House, and the Committee of 300, a lecture by Dr. John Coleman, is available on the Internet Archive.
Excellent.
Oh, thank you.
Wow, that's great.
Do you know how long the full one is?
I'm just curious.
Do not follow.
Let us know.
Do you know how long it is?
That would be interesting to know.
He also has this comment.
Charlotte, it's so funny.
We went to high school together.
This is awesome.
This is so cool.
This is a big part of technology.
I was like the guy they let go into his brother's band for a little while, the Primal Shemps.
I couldn't really play anything, but they let me do canastas and sing backup for a little bit, like a summer.
It was fun.
That was great.
He says, Charlotte Iserbeet made a video that was several hours long that went into great detail exposing all kinds of NWO deep state conspiratorial stuff.
Unfortunately, I can no longer find the video anywhere.
No.
Well, maybe John might know.
John Klyczyk.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And then down here.
What's that?
I'm talking to him Friday.
Oh, great.
Great.
That'd be great.
And fellow conspirator, do not follow us.
It says a little less than two hours.
So is that in audio?
I'm not sure.
Oh, is that...
I don't know if we're talking the book in audio form.
Because you can listen to those things on Internet Archive.
The one I've seen is about 40 minutes.
So that must be the full.
Okay, okay.
Oh, so he's talking about the Charlotte thing.
Oh, the Charlotte one.
Sorry.
Okay.
Or is it Full Link Club of Rome?
Oh, no.
I'm sorry.
The lecture from John Coleman.
Okay.
I get it.
I get it.
Okay.
Okay.
So, because I was thinking about the text, but it's the video.
Then we've got over at Rumble.
Oh, yes.
Yes.
Somebody's talking about Chatham House.
Yeah.
Bride B. Mack.
Now, that's something.
Oh, it just slipped by.
But Bride B. Mack's like, check out Chatham House and Whitney Webb Family or something like that.
I don't know too much about that.
And then we have another comment about Rush.
The Sky Now looks like the cover of the 1977 Rush album, A Farewell to Kings.
A lot of Rush commentators inside Rumble.
And so let me ask you, Courtney, with this book, can you...
We have the technocratic order that seems to be coming in.
To me, it's the culmination of that hubris of creating apparati, whether they're computer-controlled or not.
It was always going to go in this direction because if you've got technology, you're going to use technology to gather up information and track people.
It's just logical that they're going to do this and then make Make arguments that argue in favor of your control over people by the reference to authority, the classic Aristotelian fallacy, and that authority will be the technology.
What do you think about that, and how does Hegel's approach to the Gnostic Jacob's Ladder lead us to this technocratic dead end?
So, I think we have a lot of, throughout history, we've had these, the futurists, you know, it's really easy to predict the future when you plan it, so they tell us what's going to be because they have the gnosis.
But, you know, people like Brzezinski and Kissinger and Atali, you know, they talked about how we would have this hegemonic battle between the ideologies of the East and the West, and that they would create this clash.
That would allow for the emergence of a technocracy.
And I think that that's, in Hegelian terms, that would be the synthesis or, you know, it would be the concretization.
And essentially it's the Alfhaven, the ultimate manifestation of this rational absolute.
And it is the rational absolute, right?
Because it's the scientific dictatorship.
So it's a very logical, methodical, you know, manifestation of this rational.
Incremental progression towards this.
So I think that that's what we are witnessing.
And I think that that's the omega point, right?
That's the singularity.
You know, the omega point, as Teilhard de Chardin said, would bring forth, you know, the The full expression of the noosphere.
I think that is really what we're witnessing with these people.
But I'm also trying to caution people because what I'm seeing in my studies of just researching what's out there currently in this technocratic landscape.
And we've got a lot of variations of it.
And I always have to check myself because I do have a little bit of a...
Yeah, I think a healthy skepticism, I'll call it, but some may say it's a little paranoid because we see the conspiracies throughout history and they often are.
Hegelian in nature.
You know, they often present these dialectical poles that are intended to create warring factions so they can emerge their synthesis, their, you know, predetermined managed synthesis.
And what I'm seeing in this technocratic conversation are the people who are, they seem to be more, at least ostensibly, technosynicist, but they want to use...
However, they very much caution us, but they're leading with more of a spiritual collective intelligence proposal.
And, you know, one example of this, something I've been studying quite extensively, is something called Game B. I don't know if you're familiar with it, but Game B is they say it's a social operating system for civilization.
However, a lot of the people involved in this movement...
Are very tech savvy.
And they come from fields like either direct technological Silicon Valley type arenas or systems theory, complexity theory, which is, you know, really socio-technical systems that builds upon cybernetics, right?
And cybernetics is actually really ramping up.
If you look at the Association for Cybernetics, currently they're doing their new Macy's.
Yeah, and the new Macy conferences.
So they're reviving the old Macy conferences.
But the Game B camp, a lot of these thought leaders, this was derived from a trans-political movement.
They were trying to emerge this party called the Emancipation Party.
And this trans-political movement is very popular right now.
Right, this was back in 2011, Jim Rutt started the Stanton meetings to create this Emancipation Party, which is certainly not unique in this, they call it trans-political, the Game B movement, but we have the One Life Party,
right?
We have the United Independent Christopher Life Party, we've got the...
People's Party, which has roots all the way back to the bimetallists.
And if I could, Courtney, I just want to sort of inject here, because essentially what we've got here, you mentioned the nuosphere, and what we have are essentially parallel shells that they're trying to put around the Earth coming from different sources that all sort of assume or go in the same direction.
So the nuosphere is this sort of amorphous...
Gnostic, spiritual, mystical...
Earth will, because the population will come together, the population will come together to have some giant, again, gestalt mind, the Neuosphere.
And that will reflect.
And then you've got the politics, as you say, the trans-political movements.
That is the political equivalent of the Neuosphere.
Then you've got technocracy, which is the technical connection that brings what they see as this grand mind, the hive mind, all coming together.
I see in that movement, they talk a little bit more about it from a sociological kind of...
Transpersonal, spiritual perspective.
Their term is collective intelligence.
But when you look at what they're actually doing and what they're promoting and a lot of the people involved, they're all versed in systems theory, complexity theory, cybernetic, and they're actually on the ground floor of a lot of technologies that are what I would call emerging technologies that will be instrumental in the Web3 format.
And so they may, on the surface, Their exoteric veneer is that they're just creating a theosophical mindset, right?
Or promoting it, rather.
But that also has its own concerns, because if we already believe that we're all one, that we're all spiritually connected, that there's no individuality or individual consciousness, and it's all part of this one world brain...
But meanwhile, what they keep saying, they keep using, you know, I always say that we have a dictionary that we share, at least, you know, if you're taking the English language, for example, we share this dictionary, but they have their own glossary.
They've redefined the term.
And so they keep using Bud's words like decentralized, defied, decentralized by man.
But I tried to impress upon people that, you know, H.G. Wells talked about in his world brain, the conduit for the world brain would be the decentralized information.
Exactly, exactly, exactly.
It's the great sleight of hand.
This is exactly what they do.
It's amazing.
And, oh, Courtney, I just realized we're running up against the clock.
Okay, here's what we're going to do.
Let's just, I want to show on the screen, and I got to get you on my, I'll get you on Liberty Conspiracy 2. We'll have like part two.
Let me just mention, this is, they...
I'll just say, I hope people will get your book.
Now, they can go over to your Substack.
If they are paid subscribers there, they can get the first part of this.
And then tell us what to expect in the future for the rest of your publication.
So I am right now exploring some potential publishers, and if that works out, then I will go through a mainstream publisher and have it for sale, and I'll keep everybody informed through my Substack.
Through all of my social media platforms, you can stay updated on that.
But if not, then I will self-publish it on Amazon.
So it will be available there.
And all of my platforms, I'll keep you.
Well, Courtney, it has just been, again, you're the best.
I'm so glad we were in touch.
I've thought about you so much.
And as you know, I've been really, really sick.
Thank you.
You seem to be doing well, though.
You feeling better?
Uh, it's, it's really, it's an interesting experience.
I've never had a challenge like this in my life before.
And, um, it's, I'm getting some slight improvement, uh, having worked with, uh, an integrated medicine specialist in Connecticut, uh, thanks to, uh, Knights of the Storm, uh, those guys.
So, um, yeah, a little bit.
And, you know, I was always really physically fit, you know, like doing one arm pull-ups and standing back.
Yeah, like crazy.
Yeah.
So we'll see, you know, it's, it's very.
And it came after I got whatever something was, this COVID something.
I didn't get any of the jabs, but whether it's shedding or something, it's been really weird.
The exhaustion's been unbelievable.
So you have to try to find all these different vectors to get done what you normally could get done.
And to treat people with honesty and pleasantry, it's pleasantness.
It's important.
I want to show again.
Well, we've got it on the screen.
Thank you, Russians.
So glad you're working for the Russian propagandists.
Hegel's dialectic, a Gnostic Jacob's Ladder, and the machinery of total control.
How ancient mysteries shape modern power, unveiling the spiral of Geist in history and today.
So, folks, go to CourtneyTurner.substack or...
If you want an easy thing, go to at Courtney Turner, C-O-U-R-T-E-N-A-Y, at Courtney Turner on X. Courtney, thank you.
Thank you.
You are awesome.
And I will drop you a line after the show.
Awesome.
And I just am delighted.
You and your colors.
I'm...
I'm nowhere near that.
I've got to do something a lot nicer.
I don't know what I'm going to do.
But we'll take a quick break and then we'll say farewell.
Thank you again, Courtney.
Thank you.
You take care.
You too.
Bye.
Is a penny earned?
Though, that's gotten tougher since they've stopped making them.
Maybe it's time to start saving a different type of coin.
Such as the new David Knight Show supporter commemorative coin.
Saving these coins earns support for independent media.
Featuring striking bas-relief with bold raised details and premium painted accents.
It's not just a trinket, but a statement, a declaration.
A way to show you refuse to be controlled by the establishment.
It's a limited run of just 100 coins.
So, much like the penny, when they're gone, they're gone.
They silence independent voices.
They censor the truth, but you can stand with real journalism and own a piece of the resistance.
These coins saved is The David Knight Show sustained.
Available now at thedavidknightshow.com.
You're listening to The David Knight Show.
There you go, right there.
There's the coin, the David Knight Show coin.
It is phenomenally cool.
There's the back right there with the microphone.
And it is heavy.
It could deflect a bullet, perhaps.
I won't...
I won't give a manufacturer's guarantee on that, but I joked around about that on Liberty Conspiracy the other night.
I said, who knows?
It could protect me.
Well, before we go, everybody, I want to thank you for joining me on the David Knight Show today.
It's been fantastic.
I'm Gardner Goldsmith.
MRCTV work might be where most people know me.
You can find me at Gard Goldsmith on X. And every Monday through Friday, we gather together to plot and plan and crouch and conspire for greater days of freedom ahead.
With Liberty Conspiracy going live.
You can find my substack.
That's the Gardner Goldsmith substack.
Check that out.
And the audio pods are available there every night from our show.
We usually go from about 6 to 8 o 'clock.
Oftentimes, almost all the time, a little longer than that.
And it's a mixture of contemporary political philosophy, ethics, economics, music, cultural things, and a lot of feedback from the audience, which is a great audience.
And before I go, I wanted to just give you the quick update on what's been going on with, you know it, the latest from Russia and Ukraine.
So this is the story.
Trump and Putin agree on an energy infrastructure ceasefire in Ukraine.
So they're going to have a ceasefire.
And evidently, it is going to be 30 days, maybe more.
But there are going to be no troops on the ground from Europe.
And they're going to be working on the ceasefire only for the energy infrastructure of Russia and Ukraine.
Other kinetic activity could still happen.
So the Battle of Kursk and so on, that could still happen.
But nuclear sites, oil sites...
Oil transport sites, any of those things, natural gas, those are going to be off limits.
So that's where things stand.
We'll give you more information.
I'll be putting it all together tonight for my Liberty Conspiracy broadcast.
You can find that on Rumble, and you can find all the pods over there.
We used to be on Rockfin, but we got a little knocked out on Rockfin, so we'll talk about that later on my show.
And I want to thank everyone for being there, and we're getting fellow conspirator do not follow says, thanks, Courtney.
Absolutely.
And I really appreciate you all being there.
Remember, you can donate to the David Knight Show.
I see already we're having a thank you for doing yours.
Oh, so good.
People are inside the chat.
I appreciate it.
And yes, the detoxer.
NAC and natoconase don't detox you from graphene oxide.
It just neutralizes spike protein, basically stops you from getting prion disease, etc.
Boy, you're on the ball.
You know what you're talking about, man.
Absolutely.
NAC, very important for mitochondrial response.
So, folks, thank you for being in the audience.
Spread the word about The David Knight Show.
Keep fighting that good fight with positive energy and happiness and smiles because it's great to be able to be associated with David and his family.
Wonderful people.
So, I'll leave you with a little something about...
How about this?
We're going to go with the outro for David Knight, The Common Man.
And I'll see you tomorrow on the David Knight Show and tonight for Liberty Conspiracy.
The Common Man.
They created Common Core to dumb down our children.
They created common paths to track and control us.
Their commons project to make sure the commoners own nothing.
And the communist future.
They see the common man as simple, unsophisticated, ordinary.
But each of us has worth and dignity created in the image of God.
That is what we have in common.
That is what they want to take away.
Their most powerful weapons are isolation.
If you can't support us financially, please keep us in your prayers.
