	As the clock strikes 13, it is Friday, the 23rd of May, year of our Lord, 2025.
	And today, we're going to look at America spending its way to a big, beautiful bankruptcy.
	Now the tariffs are impacting the American worker.
	In the third hour, I'm going to be speaking with Courtney Turner, so stay with us.
	MUSIC PLAYS
	MUSIC CONTINUES
	MUSIC CONTINUES Well, good morning and happy Friday to you all.
	Hope you've had a good week, and I hope you have some nice plans for this weekend.
	As I said, I think today we're going to start with America and how it is spending its way into a big, beautiful bankruptcy.
	So I have this pad here now, and I'm still learning how to use it.
	So today we're going to be seeing how this works for me.
	We're going to start with this article today.
	America's credit is falling and the government is digging Deeper into debt.
	U.S. cannot borrow its way to prosperity.
	You know, that is a good, that is a truism.
	And you would think it should be obvious, but a lot of people don't seem to understand that.
	This is by Veronica Derugi.
	Not sure how you pronounce that, but you know, it's an interesting name.
	America's debt-dedicted government just lost its AAA credit rating from Moody's as it previously had from fellow rating agencies S&P and Fitch.
	Many in Washington shrugged the move off as minor or as unfair treatment of Trump's administration.
	The truth is more sobering.
	A flashing red signal at the United States is no longer seen as a perfect credit risk and that politicians should stop pretending.
	Yes.
	America, for the longest time, basically since the end of World War II, has been the premier world superpower, the premier economic power, and there has been no reason for these other countries to not view it as a completely safe place to invest in.
	But now they're looking at it and saying, I don't know about that, I'm not sure.
	So, the world is changing, folks, and America is at the heart of it for better or worse.
	The mess is real, and it's because habitual deficit financing, the very disease fiscally-minded founding father Alexander Hamilton warned against, has become business as usual.
	So, good old Alexander Hamilton.
	I'm going to actually move over here, but it is a sign of the times.
	Everything.
	is continually in flux nowadays.
	The credit rating is just a symptom of it.
	It is the powers that be acknowledging.
	Starting with Hamilton, American politicians long understood the importance of fiscal policy guided by the ethos of balanced budgets, low taxes, and steady debt reduction.
	Their vision combined with a deep respect for contractual repayment and financial responsibility made America a creditor nation.
	That's right, we were able to finance things.
	We are still financing things, we're just not really able to do it anymore.
	Washington abandoned that honorable legacy in recent decades.
	U.S. national debt held by the public is racing toward $30 trillion.
	You can't even really comprehend that amount of money.
	That's how they continue to get away with this sort of thing.
	It boggles the mind.
	I mean, personally, how can you comprehend that much?
	You have no frame of reference.
	Nothing in your life even comes close to that level of money.
	It is truly impossible to comprehend and conceptualize it.
	How can you?
	In the cost of servicing, it is ballooning.
	Interest payments are now one of the fastest growing parts of the budget.
	One trillion in 2026, crowding out core priorities and leaving us vulnerable to economic shocks.
	The Congressional Budget Office warns that even modest interest rate increases could lead to hundreds of billions of dollars in added annual costs.
	It's not a rhetorical problem.
	It's a real compounding.
	Yes, as we've covered on the show this past week, it is a house of cards.
	People are just waiting to see what's going to bring it down.
	It is not a matter of if, it is a matter of when people have been playing this game for too long.
	Which brings us back to the downgrade.
	Historically, downgrades like those from S&P in 2011 or Fitch in 2023 haven't caused immediate crises, but they do raise borrowing costs and gradually erode investor confidence.
	The downgrades are not the problem, but symptoms of a deeper illness.
	Lack of credible fiscal discipline.
	Market participants aren't worried because Moody wrote a negative report.
	They're worried because that Moody What Moody wrote is true.
	That's right.
	People know that the debt is impossible to pay back.
	It is not a feasible amount for any country to look at and say, yeah, I can afford that.
	I can pay that back.
	But people haven't called America on it because we've been so deeply intertwined with everything.
	It has been structurally impossible since we were so integral to the world stage.
	But as America's star wanes, people are realizing that, uh, Well, eventually, someone is going to pull one of the cards out, and everything is going to collapse.
	If our political class continues to ignore warnings, the market will do what rating agencies only hint at, impose real discipline through higher borrowing costs, weaker currency demand, and tighter credit conditions.
	Already, China and other countries have reduced holdings of U.S. Treasuries from 42% in 2019 to 30% today.
	That's right, they are getting out of this market.
	They are saying, "We don't want this anymore." And as soon as they are fully removed, if they are ever able to do that, or once they have managed to get their position to a more manageable Meanwhile, the tax plan so far embodies Washington's worst habits.
	It makes only temporary the most important pro-growth provisions of the 2017 tax cuts, like full expensing for equipment and research and development, while rendering permanent a raft of unrelated policies catering to favored industries and constituencies.
	That's not tax reform.
	It's pork barrel politics dressed up as populist economics.
	Well, Washington loves its pork, despite the fact that we are so...
	Very, very strange, isn't it?
	Worse still, the bill's Republican supporters in the House justify it with the fantastical claim that it's fiscally responsible based on the notion that it will raise trillions in growth-generated revenue.
	Even the most optimistic models show the current bill barely moving the growth needle.
	The administration claims growth will be enormous once it deregulates and sells off assets, but these distinct policies take a long time to bear fruit.
	That's right.
	Things move slowly in the world of the economy.
	Generally.
	If things are moving fast, it's usually a bad sign.
	That's a comment from Dad.
	Trump desperately needs to lower interest rates, yet everything he does is actually causing the markets to raise interest rates.
	That's why the federal always rates home mortgages mid and ready to go up.
	It passes this massive, big, beautiful debt bill and ratings will go down, which will cause the rates to go up.
	Yeah.
	Trump doing the wrong thing, folks.
	Who would have foreseen that?
	Who could have guessed he would do the wrong thing?
	It's a shocker to me.
	We're going to move on to this article on Zero Hedge.
	After House victory, Trump tells Senate, get to work on big, beautiful bill.
	That's right.
	Trump is once more bullying people into supporting his bill.
	This is updated at 830.
	President Trump has finally weighed in with a lengthy truth social post after his big, beautiful bill narrowly cleared the house in a last minute 215 to 214 vote.
	It just squeaked by the one big, beautiful bill has passed the House of Representatives.
	This is arguably the most significant piece of legislation that will ever be signed in the history of our country.
	He's very humble.
	He's the humblest.
	Great job by Speaker Mike Johnson and the House leadership.
	And thank you to every Republican who voted yes on this historic bill.
	Now it's time for our friends in the United States Senate to get to work and send this bill to my desk as soon as possible.
	He writes, as soon as possible.
	The Democrats have lost control of themselves and are aimlessly wandering around showing no confidence, grit, or determination.
	They have forgotten their landslide loss in the presidential election and are warped in the past, hoping someday to revive open borders for the world's criminals to be able to pour into our country.
	Men to be able to play in women's sports and transgender everybody.
	They don't realize that these things and so many more like them will never again happen.
	Well, I would like to believe that's true.
	I would love to believe that's true, but sadly...
	The left doesn't really care about what's popular or what the majority of people want.
	Once they have power, they are more than willing to utilize it to force their agenda down everyone's throats and manufacture consensus through the media and online forums.
	They do not need you to approve of what they do.
	They just need you to not be able to resist without severe consequence.
	That's how the left operates.
	They are more than willing to engage in bullying and totalitarian behavior as soon as they are in power.
	Plus, I mean, it's ridiculous.
	Like, this is a massive debt spending bill.
	It's what the left loves.
	They've lost their grit to increase the deficit.
	I mean, sure, it's increasing the salary of Border Patrol as though that's going to stop immigration.
	It's back to what we were talking about yesterday, and that increasing the salaries of these teachers isn't going to suddenly fix the education system.
	Simply paying ICE and people on the border more isn't really going to deter people from showing up here.
	And there's just simply not enough agents to patrol the border.
	The way you fix that is by making sure that they don't have a reason to come here.
	President Donald Trump's multi-trillion dollar tax package, also known as the Big Beautiful Bill, cleared the House in a last-minute 215-214 vote, as we said, and this was on Thursday morning.
	The bill now moves to the Senate, where Republicans are calling for major revisions ahead of an expected vote in August.
	Oh boy, maybe it'll be a birthday present to me.
	It aims to prevent a year-end tax hike and a potential debt default, but would significantly increase the near-term federal deficit.
	Well, I think it will also increase the long-term federal deficit.
	I don't think this will decrease the debt at all.
	The 2015-214 House vote with one abstention was met with loud cheers by House Republicans.
	Some of the key provisions include extension of Trump-era tax cuts and new relief, such as exempting tips and overtime from taxation.
	State and local tax.
	SALT deduction cap will be increased to $40,000 with phase-outs for high earners.
	Cuts to safety net programs such as Medicaid and food stamps along new work requirements starting in December 2026.
	Rollbacks on clean energy tax credits, boosting fossil fuel incentives, major increases in military and border security spending.
	You've got to give more to the military, folks.
	We're not spending enough on the military.
	We need more drones, more bombs, more tanks.
	We need more, more, more.
	Raytheon is not making enough money.
	They need an extra few billion, don't you know?
	New taxes targeting elite universities, Harvard and other Ivy leagues, and immigrant remittances.
	The elimination of EV tax credits replaced by interest deductions on U.S.-built vehicle loans.
	Well, I'm all for soaking Harvard and these other Ivy League places.
	I think that is the least we could do to them, considering what they've done for us.
	However, it is wrapped up in all this other nonsense, which is going to continue to worsen the American economy.
	Yeah, sure, there is some good things in the bill, but that's just...
	they always do though.
	They put a few good things sprinkled on top and very sugar in the pill, uh, to, uh, make this more palatable.
	Dad's texting me now.
	Well, we see this tweet inside the article from Zero Hedge.
	From Zero Hedge, the Big Beautiful Bill will massively increase near-term deficits and add $5 trillion in debt.
	You can see it right here on the article.
	In the bond market, the U.S. 30-year Treasury yield moved higher after the bill narrowly passed the House, hitting 5.12%, the highest level since October 2023.
	This level is nearing its highest point since 2007.
	Boy, 2007-2008, those were great years for the markets, weren't they?
	I was a bit young at the time, but I can still remember that it was slightly chaotic, to say the least.
	People were not having a great time.
	Lots of people were losing their houses.
	It was a bad time all around for the average American.
	Of course, the people that caused it ended up getting bailed out and didn't end up having to pay a thing.
	They got richer as people were foreclosed on.
	With Treasury yields soaring, perhaps it's time for Treasury Secretary Scott Besant to fire up the big toolkit.
	Rep.
	Nathaniel Moran from Texas stated, That's right.
	July 4th, the day we celebrate our liberty.
	Our independents, they're going to shackle us with more debt.
	But that's what the government does every year, isn't it?
	They add more debt.
	They bind us down with these chains.
	This is another article from Zero Hedge.
	Solar stocks plunge after House GOP budget worse than deered for clean energy.
	Tax that passed the House on a 215-214 party line vote early Thursday is even less favorable to clean energy interest than a previous draft.
	Again, there's some good things in this bill.
	As we said, that's what they always do.
	They put a little bit of things that the American people want on top, and that's what they crow about.
	That's what they continually talk about in the media.
	That's what Trump will harp on.
	But it's all the other things.
	1,196-page bill, if memory serves.
	It's over 1,100 pages anyway.
	And who knows exactly what is in there?
	There's all kinds of things that they bury in stuff like this.
	As was said, it is a pork barrel project.
	The bill terminates the 48E investment and 45Y production tax credits for non-nuclear clean energy projects placed in service after 2028 with no phase-out period.
	Projects must begin construction within 60 days of the bill's enactment, likely later this year to be eligible for the credits.
	They want this to start moving quickly.
	The version of the House Ways and Means Committee released on May 12th stepped down the value of the 48E and 45Y credits over three years and did not include the imminent construction.
	Thank you.
	Non-nuclear developers do qualify for the 48E and 45Y credits, Jeffries said.
	The foreign involvement restrictions apply to foreign entities of concern like China, which controls much of the upstream supply chain for batteries, electric motors, and other clean energy.
	That's right, China has an almost stranglehold on rare earth minerals, the ones that we use to manufacture batteries.
	They have been very, very mercenary when it comes to getting a hold of them and getting a hold of the land where you mine them.
	Their Belt and Road Initiative has given them tremendous control in places like Africa, where these things are mines, these things such as lithium.
	The bill also eliminates the Inflation Reduction Act's tax credit transferability framework for most clean energy projects.
	Experts say transferability, which previously enjoyed bipartisan support, expands project financing options for small and mid-sized energy developers.
	Following an outcry from industry groups like Nuclear Energy Institute, the House bill extends production and investment tax credit eligibility for advanced nuclear projects and power uprates of existing reactors that begins construction by 2028.
	It also extends a separate production credit for existing nuclear power plants through 2028.
	and preserves transferability for nuclear projects.
	Again, this is potentially a good thing, but who knows what else is in the bill?
	I mean, sure, there are objectively...
	I have another one here.
	that the federal tax on suppressors is going away.
	So that's been a huge...
	It's also the obstacle that that creates when trying to get a suppressor.
	But that's going away with this.
	So, sure, they'll have some nice things pro bon to his supporters.
	But that doesn't change the fact that this is a huge increase on the debt.
	It is financially disastrous.
	Yes, it is completely unsustainable.
	We have been running the debt up for decades, and the Trump administration put it into warp speed.
	Trump and Biden, and now Trump again, have ballooned the debt faster than any other president.
	I think the Trump people are intentionally destroying the dollar in order to push us into stablecoins, which I'm sure is something that Trump is heavily invested in.
	Trump and his cronies.
	Yes.
	They want a CBDC.
	As we've talked about, as my dad has talked about numerous times, they want the CBDC so they are able to track and trace every single purchase all the time.
	and they can then just turn off your wallet.
	The second you do something they don't like, they will be able to vaporize your earnings or just absorb them back into their own wallet.
	Also, things like getting rid of a federal tax suppressor, that didn't need to be included in a huge bill of mixed goods.
	You know, you could make that its own thing.
	But no, they have to include it in this to get people behind the big, beautiful bill so they'll ignore the horrible parts of it.
	Yeah, it's just throwing a bone to his supporters so that he has a way to bully the Republicans and others in the House to be like, well, I've given you so much stuff that you want.
	You have to support this because the base wants these things.
	House advances big, beautiful bill.
	This is on Zero Hedge as well.
	House advances Big Beautiful Bill to floor after a 20-hour marathon negotiation.
	After a long day of back and forth, the House Rules Committee late Wednesday night advanced President Trump's Big Beautiful Bill to the House floor after nearly 22 hours of negotiation.
	This was a heated negotiation, folks, people.
	22 hours.
	Long time to argue about something.
	Other alterations were made regarding energy and environmental policies, which we've covered.
	After weeks of turmoil and negotiations, House Republicans are inching closer to passing their sweeping domestic policy package, anchored by a multi-trillion dollar suite of tax cuts, as Speaker Mike Johnson braces to finalize legislation ahead of the Memorial Day recess.
	And again, of course we support tax cuts.
	We want taxes cut.
	There is, that is something we need.
	However, it needs to be combined with a spending cut.
	We need to make sure that the government does not continue to spend the way it has.
	We need tax cuts and spending cuts.
	We need to reduce the size of government.
	There are so many departments that need to just go.
	In fact, the vast majority of them do.
	They could just be axed.
	He's added so many taxes with these tariffs, it's just moved the taxes.
	In the end, it's gone up in total.
	Yes, we are going to move right along from this article.
	We're going to take a look at this article on AOL, the five House Republicans who didn't vote for Trump's sweeping tax bill.
	Because who are these people that dared to defy our glorious leader?
	He has been very, very vocal about making sure that everyone in the establishment knows if you oppose him, he will try to get you out.
	He will try to primary you.
	He will run someone against you.
	However, he has not been very successful with his attempts of this in the past, so maybe it's becoming more of a hollow threat.
	Five House Republicans didn't join their fellow GOP colleagues supporting the legislative package packed with President Donald Trump's priorities, while Democrats unanimously opposed the bill that will swell the national debt and add work requirements to Medicaid.
	Democrats opposing debt?
	What a time we've got.
	Very, very principled on these things.
	Had already announced his opposition for what he said would continue bided administration levels of spending long before the vote of 215 in favor, 214 opposed, and one present.
	Trump responded that Massey should be voted out of office.
	Again, we see him bullying and thronging.
	We will get you out of office if you dare oppose me.
	Rep.
	Warren Davidson of Ohio also voted against the bill for increasing the deficit, a projected $451 billion in 2027.
	While I love many things in the bill, promising someone else will cut spending and the future does not cut spending, Davidson said in a social media post, deficits do matter and this bill grows them now.
	Three other Republicans also didn't cast votes for the Trump bill.
	Andy Harris of Maryland voted present, which would have effectively been an opposition vote if the rest of the lawmakers had tied.
	Harris is the chairman of the ultra-conservative House Freedom Caucus, which sought greater cuts in spending in the package.
	Posted the same chart of growing debt as Davidson before the vote.
	Yep.
	Reps David Schweikert of Arizona and Andrew Garabino of New York missed the vote entirely.
	They just didn't show up.
	Well, he just took himself a nice little nap instead.
	You know, I think we would all be much better if the government just did that.
	Instead of enacting new laws, they all just took naps and left us alone.
	I would pay them to do that.
	Got some comments, Wally.
	Comment from the JPMorgan and other big banks are putting together a stablecoin plan.
	Lutnik and Trump will make a fortune off of the switch to crony, billionaire, digital currency, and other CBDC initiatives.
	Yes, they are going to position themselves to make sure they make a killing while killing the American economy.
	Wally, Walrus, no one wants to buy U.S. bonds anymore.
	Worthless paper.
	Used to be a solid investment.
	Now everyone knows the Americans are not going to pay anything back.
	They are too deep in debt.
	It is not a good investment anymore.
	Shelley A, check out the AI parts of the bill.
	No state will be able to regulate it.
	Yes, we talked about that briefly.
	I believe it was yesterday or the day before.
	Which is not a power that the federal government should have.
	All powers that are not granted to it by the Constitution are reserved for the states.
	Yes.
	But the government has long since stopped caring about the differentiation of powers between the different branches.
	The branches will do whatever they see fit whenever they see fit.
	This is from Business Insider.
	Four ways Trump's big, beautiful tax bill could impact your wallet.
	I'd be surprised if there are only four ways.
	So, four ways.
	The House on Thursday morning passed.
	Trump called the Big Beautiful Bill.
	On Thursday morning, the House passed the tax bill, an expansive piece of legislation that would extend the President's 2017 tax cuts and make key changes to the tax system, along with implementing significant changes to Medicaid and Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program.
	The bill is now added to the Senate.
	Now it's time for our friends in the United States Senate to get to work and send this bill to my desk as soon as possible.
	A slew of tax policies.
	The legislation would eliminate taxes on tips and overtime wages.
	Again, that's a good thing.
	We support that, but it's the other things that are wrapped up in this bill.
	The legislation would eliminate taxes on tips and overtime wages.
	The bill also has a measure for $4,000 tax deduction for older people, making less than $75,000 a year.
	those two provisions would extend until 2029.
	There's also just the fact, if these are good things, if we see this and go, yes, we want to do that, why do they only extend If we are looking at this and say, yes, our elderly need help, they need these tax deductions, why would we not just put them in in perpetuity?
	Because it allows them to then fight for these things again, slap these things back in another bill with more things that we hate that will take more of our liberties.
	It is simply a game.
	The bill also raised the child tax credit from 2000 to 2500 through 2028.
	Additionally, it would eliminate electric vehicle tax credits and establish a 250 annual registration fee for electric.
	Well, oh boy.
	A $2,500 tax credit for having a baby.
	Isn't that just special?
	It's not like having a baby is so massively expensive that that tax credit is utterly absorbed immediately.
	But who knows, you know?
	Maybe this will see a massive upsurge in the population.
	Maybe the birth rate decline will be utterly reversed by that extra $500.
	This bill would also make Trump's 2017 tax cuts permanent increase the state and local tax deduction, known as SALT, from $10,000 to $40,000.
	Student loan forgiveness repealed.
	Under Trump's tax bill, millions of student loan borrowers would see their repayment options change.
	The legislation proposes eliminating income-driven repayment plans and replacing them with two options, the repayment assistance plan and a standard repayment plan.
	The repayment assistance plan would allow for loan forgiveness after 360 qualifying payments based on the borrower's income, while the standard repayment plan would require a fixed monthly payment over a period set by the servicer.
	On one hand, people have been so thoroughly propagandized into attending college and college is such a useless bill of goods at this point that it almost seems unfair to charge people for it, but they did sign up for it themselves.
	And it is also immoral to make other people pay for something.
	On one hand, yes, your college degree is likely worthless.
	Yes, you were scammed.
	However, you opted into the scam, so you should not be allowed to foist that debt onto others.
	Tony Garrett and the CBDC will have an expiration date attached to, so you can't save, stockpile anything.
	Yes, they will make sure that your attempts to save are negated, and this will be a direct ability to do that, not just through inflation.
	They will be able to just wipe out your holdings.
	Trump accounts.
	If the bill passes, parents could get extra money for their kids down the line.
	The tax bill includes a Trump account, previously called a money account for growth and advancement, or MAGA account.
	The government would put $1,000 into accounts for babies born after December 31, 2024, before January 1, 2029.
	The baby would be required to have born in the U.S. and have a social security number to receive the cash.
	"Oh boy, I'm gonna get an extra thousand dollars "in an account for our baby?" That's going to make a huge difference.
	I cannot wait for that.
	This will radically change and improve our lives.
	The accounts would have tax incentives.
	Earnings would be tax deferred, meaning the taxes on accounts would not need to be paid right away.
	Withdrawals from the accounts would also be taxed at the long-term capital gains rate, which is independent on income and typically lower than the regular income tax rate.
	Work requirements for Medicaid and SNAP.
	Lower-income Americans could face bigger health care costs or lose federal assistance benefits.
	The tax bill would mean significant changes for the millions who rely on Medicaid and SNAP.
	The legislation would mandate that states implement an 80-hour-a-month work requirement by the end of 2026 for childless adults on Medicaid without a disability.
	The Congressional Budget Office previously estimated that work requirements on Medicaid could strip coverage from over 8 million Americans over the next decade.
	Additionally, the bill would extend the age range of adults subject to work requirements to receive SNAP to include adults ages 55 to 64. Currently, adults ages 18 to 54 without children can receive SNAP benefits only if they work at least 20 hours a week.
	And that is what is going on with the big, beautiful bill.
	It is truly...
	Truly, it is just a symptom of what is going on with the United States.
	The Trump bullying, the increase in debt, it is everything that America is about all wrapped up into one.
	Now, I want to read you, my dad saw what we said about Scott Adams and him having cancer, and he put together his thoughts on the matter.
	So I want to read that for you.
	I will also...
	So we'll have that coming up.
	It'll be a fairly detailed timeline of the events.
	Another comment from Wally Walrus.
	How are they going to raise the birth rate after they ruined women's reproductive organs with the COVID death shots?
	Yes, that's another question.
	We don't know.
	What the long-term effects of the COVID shots are on reproduction.
	We have no clue how that is going to impact things in the long term.
	We've barely begun to see that.
	We are still in the early stages of it.
	And again, we talked about this Scott Adams revealing that he has stage 4 cancer.
	And this is on LifeSite News.
	Dilbert, comic creator, revealed stage 4 cancer after saying the unvaccinated are winners.
	Scott Adams, who got the COVID shot, plans to commit assisted suicide after a terminal cancer diagnosis two years ago.
	He admitted anti-vaxxers have a health advantage.
	Scott Adams, the creator of the famous Dilbert comic strip, announced he is dying of stage 4 prostate cancer after admitting he got the COVID shot, calling the unvaccinated winners.
	The 67-year-old known for his beloved iconic comic strip announced during a Rumble livestream on Monday that his prostate cancer has metastasized to his bones.
	While Adam told the Independent that there's no indication the COVID shot is responsible for his cancer, he conceded over two years ago that anti-vaxxers appear to be the most right and appear to be the biggest winners.
	So, Scott is having some buyer's remorse, it seems.
	And, again, as I said before, we don't want to feel some vindictive sense of justice here.
	We should pray that he is healed and pray that he finds God, finds Jesus.
	But these are the comments from my dad.
	I'm sorry that he's suffering with stage 4 cancer.
	I wouldn't wish that on anyone, not even Biden.
	But it's vital that we learn to discern.
	Scott shamed and pushed people to the vax, and he still has no regrets.
	Says people who were anti-vax got lucky, which is not true.
	That's right, if you remember.
	Scott said that he was just too smart.
	That's the reason he got it wrong about the vaccine.
	He was too smart, and anyone that thought differently from him, Didn't take the vaccine and didn't follow the rules that the government put in place.
	Just got lucky.
	They couldn't have figured it out on their own because Scott is smarter than you.
	And as such, there's no way that you could have figured it out when he didn't.
	Two weeks in, he said it's getting harder to tell freedom lovers from sociopaths.
	My dad said, if you remember, it's getting harder to tell pragmatists from totalitarians.
	He pushed and mocked people to do what he appears now to believe is killing him.
	That's right.
	He, as was covered by the article, admits the anti-vaxxers are winners.
	And while he doesn't seem or won't admit that there could be a correlation between the vaccine and the prostate cancer, we have seen turbo cancer.
	People getting these rapidly, rapidly developing cancers since the COVID shot.
	So it is very easy to look at this and say it is likely or at least possible.
	That his cancer is caused by the COVID shot.
	He was completely ignorant of Dark Winter and the annual rehearsals to do what they were doing.
	He refused to critically think about the recommendations that made no sense, even if their virus and vaccine paradigms were true.
	I realized it's difficult for people to break away from long-held paradigms, so I deconstructed the insanity from within the paradigm.
	How masks couldn't possibly work, etc.
	He appeared to know nothing and care less about the history and mechanism of mRNA, big pharma, etc.
	Most of all, beware of people who are wise in their own eyes.
	Being rich doesn't mean you're smart.
	That's right.
	He says he believes plenty of smart people like Dr. Robert Malone and Elon Musk got jabbed because they were working with bad data.
	Well, you don't necessarily have to trust the data you're given.
	You can look at it and say, does this seem real?
	Scott immediately trusted it because it came from an authority, a source that he implicitly trusted.
	Intelligence is not the same as judgment or discernment.
	As for bad data, it comes from trusting people and institutions have been proven untrustworthy.
	That's not smart.
	Yes, the government has routinely been shown to lie over and over again.
	He trusted people that were obvious liars.
	His key mistake then and now was to believe COVID was real.
	That created a cycle of fear.
	Now as an atheist, he says he will commit suicide, still clueless about the ultimate issue, God.
	Not many wise are called.
	Don't be like him.
	Don't envy him.
	Pity him.
	Yes, we should pity Scott Adams.
	We should pity him and pray for him.
	Pray for his healing, but more importantly, pray that he is able to divest himself of his ego and admit that he does need a savior, that he needs Jesus.
	We actually have the Clip of Scott Adams, which I will play for you now.
	Completely.
	Having said as clearly as possible that the anti-vax people seem to be the winners, I want you to hear that clearly, the anti-vax people appear to be the winners.
	The anti-vaxxers clearly are the winners at this point, and I think it will probably stay that way.
	And I don't want to put any shade on that whatsoever.
	They came out the best.
	They have the winning position.
	The unvaccinated have a current advantage.
	Because they feel better.
	The thing they're not worrying about is what I have to worry about.
	Which is, I wonder if they have vaccination five years from now.
	Because really the anti-vaxxers I think were really just distrustful of big companies and big government.
	That's never wrong.
	It's never wrong to distrust government.
	It's never wrong to distrust big companies.
	So if you just took the position, let's just distrust everything the government did, well, you won.
	You won.
	You won completely.
	I did not end up in the right place.
	Agree?
	You would all agree with that, right?
	I did not end up in the right place.
	The right place would be natural immunity, no vaccination.
	You should take victory, and I should take defeat.
	We can agree on that, right?
	That my position is now the weakest, and your position has gone from the weakest to the strongest, and that we can just say that's true.
	The people who didn't get vaxxed are absolutely in the winning position.
	You win.
	You win.
	You are the winners.
	You are the winners.
	Let me say that part with no ambiguity.
	You won.
	You won.
	All of my fancy analytics got me to a bad place.
	All of your heuristics, don't trust these guys, it's obvious, totally worked.
	Well, Yes, the anti-vaxxers were right.
	It is always correct to distrust the government and these large corporations.
	But as Soylent Goy said, nobody actually won anything.
	We are all suffering under this.
	Whether it is the people who got vaccinated suffering with all kinds of terrible health issues, such as we see with Scott Adams' cancer, or us suffering under the further I do pity Scott Adams.
	I have made my criticisms of him known over the years, but I feel so sorry for him.
	This is a terrible, terrible thing he is dealing with, and I do hope he does come to find Jesus in the end.
	It is.
	This isn't something I would wish on anyone, as my dad said.
	Not even Biden.
	Got comments.
	Angry.
	Tigers.
	Then it seems with this administration, the focus is to consolidate power or either under...
	Yes.
	Trump wants all power consolidated to him.
	He wants to be able to do what he wants when he wants.
	It is all about his ego.
	He doesn't want anyone else to be able to wield power.
	Nathan Bedford Forrest, 1865.
	Cool name.
	Nathan Bedford Forrest was a super interesting guy.
	Prostate cancer is the most easily treatable and very survival type of cancer.
	It has to be jab-related that exacerbated his cancer.
	I will take your word for that.
	I don't know much about cancer.
	So, raddest bro.
	Scott once trusted the plan.
	He's still trusting.
	He's trusting in all the wrong things.
	Trusting in all the wrong things.
	The one thing he really needs to trust in now is Jesus.
	So, that's what we need to pray for.
	Raddest bro.
	How about I don't want crap injected in me from people who clearly don't have your best interest in mine, like common sense?
	Yes, it is.
	It was simply common sense to look at the people that were pushing the vaccine, the companies that were pushing the vaccines, and the way they were pushing them to just go, yeah, that doesn't make sense.
	Why would these people do this?
	They don't have my best interest at heart.
	Anthony Fauci was such an obvious scumbag that to trust him was borderline insane, in my opinion.
	Soylent goy.
	It was based on information, not simply distrust.
	He still doesn't get it.
	Yeah.
	Thing is, if Scott Adams admits that it was based on information, he might have to admit that there were some people that were smarter than him that figured it out.
	And don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to postulate that I'm smarter than Scott Adams, but my dad knew from the beginning what this was about.
	He was immediately on top of it.
	SoloCat1980.
	We didn't get lucky.
	We saw right through the VAX propaganda.
	Scott Adams cannot admit he got duped by the propaganda.
	Yes.
	And this is a common thing we see, especially in intelligent people.
	They can buy in even harder sometimes than people who are not as intelligent, because to admit they got duped then brings their intelligence into question.
	Intelligence can be a double-edged sword.
	Intelligence can be a double-edged sword.
	Thankfully, I don't struggle with that.
	Right overture.
	Winning isn't watching the gullible die or suffer.
	Yes, I fully agree with you, right overture.
	You are dead on the money there.
	Winning is...
	living in a country where this type of thing doesn't ever happen.
	Well, we are going to take a quick break, and when I come back...
	Oh, we've got a comment.
	Ron Helton won.
	Scott is now looking at it all wrong.
	We all lost.
	Because if he had stood together, there had been no lockdowns or coercion to take the jabby jab.
	That's right.
	He is still looking at it from the wrong perspective.
	He is still looking at it in terms of winners and losers.
	When we were all losers in this scenario, the only people that actually won anything were the pharmaceutical companies and the people that worked for them.
	They made out like bandits.
	They made billions, maybe even trillions of dollars off of poisoning and killing people.
	It is the greatest crime that the planet has ever seen, in my opinion.
	Cabos888, he is correct in distrusting the government and their monopolies.
	Yes.
	Immediately distrust the government.
	Immediately distrust large corporations.
	They don't have your best interests at heart.
	Intrinsically, they oppose them.
	We're going to take a quick break and we will be right back.
	PIANO PLAYS
	Defending the American Dream.
	You're listening to The David Knight Show.
	Welcome back, folks.
	Glad you are still with us.
	Three little birds.
	Depopulation is the agenda, and the financial reset will be the final nail in the population coffins.
	Yes, they will make it impossible for you to survive.
	They will take all your money, they will siphon it off, and keep it all in some big dragon horde somewhere so Bill Gates can roll around on it.
	Bill Gates and Elon Musk, they'll go skipping through a field of gold and crypto.
	But as I said, now we are going to look at the timeline of events of what happened with the strokes and the health concerns that my dad has been dealing with.
	We're going to start out with the way my mom remembers it, and then we'll have what he himself wrote down.
	So, this is what my mom has put in, how she remembers the timeline, and she's got a great memory for this kind of things.
	Just again, I want to thank you all for praying.
	So before we get into it, I want to thank you all for praying for my dad and just ask you to continue praying for him and for all of us and for my mom.
	She has been amazing through this.
	She has worked so hard, been there for him every step of the way.
	She is an amazing wife, Tim, and mother to us.
	I am so blessed to have her in my life.
	Wednesday, May 7th.
	David had his first stroke at 11.48 a.m. at his desk.
	He fell off his chair and injured his ribs on the side of the table.
	He was alone and thought he had just fallen asleep at his desk.
	He said it was strange because his left hand wouldn't respond.
	The stroke lasted just a few minutes and he seemed perfectly fine, but took the following day off due to the pain in his ribs.
	Yes, if you'll remember that day, we did a pre-recorded interview in the third hour.
	So if we hadn't done that, the stroke would have happened while he was on the air.
	Thursday, May 8th, David had a second stroke at 8.45pm.
	His blood pressure was 233 over 150, which is just a ludicrous number.
	The stroke lasted for about 30 minutes.
	We were able to get him to the hospital in 15 minutes from when it started.
	The neurologist did a brain scan, a CT, and said there was no lingering effects from the first two strokes, but he needed an operation on his carotid artery that the hospital couldn't do.
	Because they needed a specialist.
	We had to wait for the University of Tennessee Hospital in Knoxville or Hospital in Chattanooga to have a bed available.
	Eventually, he was put in the UT Hospital in Knoxville.
	We were thankful for that because Chattanooga is quite a ways away from us.
	It would have made things very difficult.
	David was transferred to the University of Tennessee Hospital.
	Surgery had to be delayed for 72 hours from the time of his last stroke.
	They don't want to do it.
	Immediately afterwards, they like to wait that 72 hours.
	David was told there was only a 2-3% risk of a stroke during the surgery.
	Monday, May 12th, the operation room was reserved for 3 hours.
	David's surgery lasted over 5 hours.
	His pulse rate was 180, and he suffered another stroke during the surgery.
	There was damage to a nerve in his tongue.
	Pray it will not be permanent.
	Tubes down his throat cause damage to his vocal cords as well.
	Yes.
	So, now, thanks to your prayers, some of David's tongue function is restored, especially swallowing.
	He's regained some use of his left hand, but not fine motor skills for playing the piano or typing.
	David's voice is very gravelly and slurred.
	He's seeing a speech therapist.
	He's out of the wheelchair and using a walker, but he's still shaky and seeing a physical therapist.
	Now, this is what my dad has written.
	It has been a surreal experience when my body does not respond as it should, especially my tongue and left hand.
	After the operation, actual physical tubes, IV monitors, etc.
	were like strings keeping me from moving my hands even more.
	Immediately after the surgery, my mouth was so dry and crusted, it was horrible.
	I pleaded for the nurse to moisten my lips, but he refused, saying, I'm busy.
	I heard him say, my oxygen level...
	So we're good.
	As the nose tubes were drying out my nose, I tried to reposition them, and he yelled at me and threatened to restrain me.
	Karen got to the CV ICU, cardiovascular ICU, and immediately took care of my mouth.
	The nurse then put a tube down my nose to my stomach, nasal slash gastric.
	Karen found out that he had already given notice and had just a few more days to work.
	That's right, the nurse just did not care.
	He had put in his two weeks and was only filling time.
	He did not care at all about my dad's needs or wants.
	He was going to do what he wanted to do and no more.
	She said it was necessary to keep it in order to give me Tylenol in four hours.
	I had refused Tylenol and any painkillers the entire stay and told her so.
	She said it could come out, so I took it out immediately myself.
	She was furious.
	That's right, the nursing staff was not happy when my dad pulled the tube out.
	Had a slight conniption.
	I told the doctor I wanted to be discharged.
	I had had enough.
	I did stay, but issues with the beds and other things got me so upset that once again my pulse went up to 180.
	I was then transferred to the cardiac unit and finally met some wonderful nurses and technicians.
	They had an issue with, that's right.
	They had an issue with the bed that he was in.
	It got lodged at its highest position and they spent, So, his blood pressure, of course, skyrocketed again from that.
	I won't go into more detail except to say how grateful I am for your many prayers.
	God could easily address issues with a single prayer, and he does sometimes.
	But I think the purpose is that we can all see him involved in our lives, and we did.
	It's not just when my pulse was at 180, but also when my blood pressure was at 233 over 150.
	It was the strangers that prayed for me when we first got to the emergency room.
	When Travis and Lance were in the emergency room with me, there was an infant screaming in agony for a long time.
	The three of us prayed for the infant to be comforted, and the screaming stopped before we even finished praying.
	I can't thank people enough who offered to give pure blood, even from out of state, Eric Peters and his wife.
	Yes, Eric and his wife both offered to donate blood to make sure that he wouldn't get vaccinated blood if it was needed.
	I'm Marty from New York, local friends and listeners, and Scott Scherer did everything he could to help us find resources here locally.
	Fortunately, he didn't need blood.
	Word to the wise, it takes three to four days for blood banks to let you use blood donated specifically for you.
	In my case, there wasn't enough time.
	There is good news, however.
	Bloodsaver technology has a machine that takes your own blood during surgery, saves it, and allows the doctors to reuse it during your surgery.
	Thank you, Liz, from Pure Blood for that information.
	God willing, I hope to be back soon, but right now, I sound a lot like Sylvester Stallone, and I slurp like Sylvester the cat, so he's feeling a bit sly right now, but that is part of it, and this is the next part.
	This is about meds.
	He says, to pharma or not to pharma?
	Once pharma decides something is a problem, all efforts are focused on eliminating that problem.
	Even to the detriment of other systems in the body, i.e.
	cholesterol is vital for mental function, but they seek to essentially eliminate it through statins.
	Adverse conditions ignored.
	A 2020 study of over 4,600 people showed diabetes risks doubling after one year, tripling after two.
	This is dismissed by doctors as secondary to benefits.
	Meds are the big question mark.
	Pfizer's Eliquis is an antiplatelet clot, as is Lumbrochemase.
	Dosage is always the issue.
	There has been big improvements in this past week, and I want people who are praying for us to know how God has protected and helped us.
	Physicians treat, but God heals.
	Please continue praying for one, that I'll be able to communicate again.
	Two, That is my dad's statement on what happened with the strokes.
	And again.
	I too just want to thank you all for the prayers.
	It has been truly wonderful to see the outpouring of love and prayers that have been sent up for him.
	And I too believe that without them, he might not be here with us today.
	It was, as was said in there, the surgery was supposed to last three hours, but it took five.
	And we just thank you all so much for your continued prayers.
	So as he said, just pray for complete healing.
	And before the show, he came in and prayed for us as well.
	And he also stated that he's having some issues with panic attacks and that it is making him very anxious.
	So please pray for that as well.
	Please pray that that would be reduced and go away.
	Some of the medication they have him on right now can cause those sorts of side effects.
	So we just pray that we're able to find a resolution to this and that God would provide healing.
	And thank you all so much.
	DG8, thank you for the tip.
	That is so very kind.
	Prayers for David and his family.
	God bless you and your listeners.
	Yes, thank you.
	Again, we do pray for you all and that God would bless you all.
	So thank you very, very much.
	It has been, as I said, amazing and truly wonderful and a blessing to see the levels of love and support that you all have.
	I cannot thank you enough.
	But that is what is going on with our dad.
	And now I think we'd like to look at education right now.
	It is a true cornerstone of what we are dealing with.
	The federal school system is how they are able to brainwash people.
	So, this article is on The Daily Caller.
	Exclusive, Biden admin quietly installed nearly 200 attorneys as Education Department pursued radical agenda.
	The Department of Education E.D. under the Biden administration used an obscure hiring commit to bring in nearly 200 attorneys while pushing radical policies that face persistent legal opposition.
	The Biden administration used the Schedule A hiring process which provides an expedited path by bypassing the usual competitive process and negating the requirements that appointments be made based on merit.
	Education Department hired 193 attorneys from January 20, 2021 through April 30, 2024, mostly staffing the Department Office for Civil Rights, OCR, according to documents obtained through a Freedom of Information Act request by Protect the Public Trust, PPD, and shared with the Daily Caller News Foundation.
	Schedule A positions are not required to be publicly posted according to the Equal Employment Opportunities Commission.
	The appointments through the system do not expire at the end of the President's term.
	We've uncovered other agencies during the Biden administration that use Schedule A hiring authority to staff ranks of career officials outside the normal competitive process, often in politicized offices or offices working on highly contentious issues.
	Michael Chamberlain, director of PPT, told the DCNF the Department of Education looks to have used the same authority to bulk up its office for civil rights, with career attorneys stalking one of the most political offices in the department.
	OCR, by the way, worked on the administration's massive and unpopular rewrite of Title IX regulations.
	It's little wonder why the American public lost so much trust in its government during this time.
	Every aspect of the school system, every position that they can fill with an ideologue that will push their agenda will be staffed by an ideologue that will push their agenda.
	That has long been the plan.
	They will make sure that every person, top to bottom, We'll toe the party line of Marxism, cultural Marxism.
	Several other department hires were also employed through the Schedule A process, including program specialists and administrative officers, the documents show.
	It's not enough just to have the teachers.
	If it's just the teachers, you might have someone in a position of authority somewhere.
	That would eventually get sick of it and remove them.
	But if you have all these other people in the power structure that are behind the scenes that support them as well, it becomes infinitely more difficult to get rid of them even when you catch them in this insanity.
	Former President Joe Biden's Education Department pushed several controversial policies such as rewriting Title IX, a civil rights rule meant to protect women from discrimination to include gender identity.
	The rule was challenged several times in courts before eventually being dropped and later blocked and vacated in federal court.
	Another education policy that met with legal friction was Biden's attempt to forgive student loans numerous courts have struck down the administration's plans to wipe out.
	To wipe away the debt of nearly 40 million Americans, including the Supreme Court, which ruled in 2023 that Biden's use of executive power was unconstitutional.
	However, the former president found several loopholes to forgive billions in debt, such as for federal employees.
	Biden's Department of Justice, DOJ, previously used Schedule 8 hire well over 100 immigration judges for its immigration review division just months before President Donald Trump assumed office.
	ED did not immediately respond to the DCNF's request for comment.
	And so we can see that the education system only gets more corrupt, only gets more mired in the politics of our age.
	Even if you support the public school system, the federal school system, the government school system, you would think you would want it to be about education and not just about pushing an agenda.
	Federal judge blocks shutdown of Education Department.
	That's right.
	Donald Trump talked a lot about potentially shutting down the Department of Education.
	But we see, once again, judges are telling him no, and he just goes, Well, okay, okay, okay.
	Whatever you say, bud.
	A federal judge on Thursday blocked President Trump's executive order to shut down the Department of Education.
	The judge ordered the department to reinstate employees who were fired in mass layoffs.
	This federal agency that was created by the federal government and the legislative branch thinks that it can then keep it in place.
	And the federal branch that created it can't do anything to stop them, allegedly.
	Yeah, they only let you do things one.
	It only goes in one direction.
	That's how this works.
	But a judge has told Donald Trump, no, you can't do that.
	And of course, he says, yes, sir.
	Sorry, sir.
	Whatever you say, sir.
	This is an article from Zero Hedge.
	Supreme Court deadlocks.
	Leaves in place.
	Block on nation's first religious charter school.
	The Supreme Court on May 22nd voted 4-4 to reject authorization for the nation's first publicly funded religious charter school.
	Justice Amy Coney Barrett recused herself and did not participate in the case known as Oklahoma Statewide Charter School Board v.
	Drummond.
	They need to start making these names catchier.
	They could get a...
	The respondent is Gettner Drummond, Oklahoma's Attorney General.
	The Supreme Court's unsigned opinion consists of one sentence.
	The judgment is affirmed by an equally divided court.
	no reasons for the ruling were provided.
	As the vote resulted in a tie, On June 25, 2024, the Oklahoma Supreme Court ruled against the school, ordering the school board to cancel the contract and finding that the school was a government entity.
	The court determined that since the school was deemed a state actor, denying it charter status did not violate the Free Exercise Clause.
	The state court also found that the school's contract with school board violated the Oklahoma Constitution's prohibition against using public money for the benefit or support of any religious institution.
	And they say this is a developing story and we'll be updated.
	Yes, we'll keep our eyes on that.
	And of course, Mark Hall has done an excellent documentary called Killing Ed about the Muslim charter schools, the Fatala Gulen charter schools, which are cropped up all over the country.
	So if you would like more information about that, you can look up his documentary, Killing It.
	It's available in quite a few places.
	I believe it's available on Apple TV if you would like to stream it.
	Yes, look up Mark Hall's documentary if you're curious about charter schools and how dangerous they can be.
	Judge Halt's dismantling of Education Department orders fired workers to be reinstated.
	This is on NBC News.
	Again, this is about the judge telling Donald Trump, no, you can't do that.
	And him just meekly saying, okay.
	Well, I'm sure he probably, he wasn't meek about it, but the effect is the same.
	This is by Gary Grumbach and Dare Gregorian.
	Gregorian, now that's a cool name.
	A federal judge in Massachusetts on Thursday issued an injunction blocking the Trump administration from dismantling the Department of Education and ordering that fired employees be reinstated.
	And again, if Trump really was this populist president, this man who was going to do things for the people, he could just say, the Supreme Court has made the rule, let's see them enforce it.
	The record abundantly reveals that defendants' true intention is to effectively dismantle the department without an authorizing statute.
	U.S. District Judge Myung Joon wrote, noting the department cannot be shut down without Congress' approval.
	Once again.
	You've got to get Congress involved in this, despite the fact that it was the federal government.
	It was the executive branch, I believe.
	The judge said an injunction was necessary because the supporting declarations of former department employees, educational institutions, unions, and educators paint a stark picture of the irreparable harm that will result from financial uncertainty and delay impeded access to vital knowledge on which students and educators rely and loss of essential services for America's most vulnerable student populations.
	Before the mass firings or reductions enforced, the department was already struggling to meet its goals, so it's only reasonable to expect that an RIF of this magnitude will likely cripple the department.
	June.
	John.
	June.
	Probably June.
	Wrote, a spokesperson for the education department, Maddie Biederman, said officials will immediately challenge this on an emergency basis.
	Well, again, we talked about yesterday how the Department of Education has been failing students on a monumental level.
	They can't read, they can't do arithmetic, but still they want more and more money every year.
	No matter how badly you fail, no matter how poorly you do your job, you can just come and say, well, if I just had more money, I'd do it better.
	That's what happens every single time with the government.
	They will fail upwards and throw money at the problem, whatever the problem may be.
	Harrison Fields, a spokesperson for the White House, said in a statement that the President and his Secretary of Education have the legal authority to make decisions regarding the agency's reorganization, and a leftist judge's ruling cannot change that reality.
	We look forward to appealing this misguided decision and achieving ultimate victory.
	Again, why even give this judge the time of day?
	Why acknowledge it?
	Why bother with it?
	Just go ahead.
	The administration filed a notice of appeal Thursday afternoon.
	The firings of 1,300 employees were announced in March after President Donald Trump pledged to shutter the department and days before he issued an executive order directing Education Secretary Linda McMahon to take all necessary steps to facilitate the closure of the Department of Education, the judge noted.
	In a confirmation hearing, McMahon testified that the administration would not try to abolish the department without congressional approval, as required by law, and said that she would present a plan that senators could get on board with.
	And again, I do not believe they need Congress to deal with this, since they had no right to establish it in the first place.
	They could just shutter it.
	They could close it all down.
	And we've got some comments here.
	Three little birds.
	Is there anywhere gifts or letters can be sent to David Knight?
	Yes, there is.
	If you go to the website, davidknight.news or the davidknightshow.com, we have the P.O. Box listed.

	Got a comment from Knights of the Storm, Jason Barker.
	I watched that doc Killing Ed and it's free on Plex.
	It was pretty good.
	Good to know.
	Yes, it's free on Plex.
	So if you have Plex, go check it out.
	Yes, Mark Hall does a good job with his documentaries.
	He tries to make them engaging and fun.
	And I may be a bit biased since I'm going to be in an upcoming one, but who knows?
	He is still working on that.
	It will be coming out sometime in the future because he's making sure that it is as good as it can be.
	Mark Hall does excellent work.
	His cameraman does excellent work.
	Just also two very, very kind individuals.
	It is a pleasure working with them, well, being around them, and just giving my takes on things, on what I experienced.
	But thank you all so much for the support.
	Truly wonderful.
	And of course, please keep us in your prayers, all of us, especially my dad, though.
	We cannot thank you enough.
	We're going to take a quick break and we will be right back.
	Thank you.
	analyzing the globalist's next move.
	And now, The David Knight Show.
	Hello, it's me, Volodymyr Zelensky.
	I'm so tired of wearing these same t-shirts everywhere for years.
	You'd think with all the billions I've skimmed off America, I could dress better.
	If only David Knight would send me one of his beautiful grey MacGuffin hoodies or a new black t-shirt with the MacGuffin logo in blue.
	But he told me to get lost.
	Maybe one of you American suckers can buy me some at thedavidknightshow.com.
	You should be able to buy me several hundred those amazing sand-colored microphone hoodies are so beautiful.
	I'd wear something other than green military cosplay to my various galas and social events.
	If you want to save on shipping, just put it in the next package of bombs and missiles coming from the USA.
	The end of the day is a very good day.
	Wait a minute.
	Where am I?
	Sorry, Jefferson.
	The scoundrels who put America on central bank fiat currency used our heads on their coins as some sort of trophy.
	Despicable.
	This is outrageous.
	Washington, I spent my life fighting centralized power.
	Now the Federal Reserve monopoly parades us around on their monopoly money.
	Tell me there's some good news to all this.
	Well, there is a coin they can't control.
	One that isn't backed by the Fed, but backed by the FedUp.
	The all-new David Knight Show commemorative coin.
	Now patriots can support a show that won't sell out, with a limited-edition coin that's sure to sell out quickly.
	They say money talks, and this coin has something worth listening to.
	The truth doesn't need inflation, only support.
	The truth doesn't need inflation, only support.
	Well, thank you for still being with your folks.
	And that's right.
	The new coin will be up on the website shortly.
	Of course, those are made by Jason Barker.
	He does a great job with them.
	This new one looks even cooler, in my opinion, because it has a kind of brassy finish to it.
	So those will be up on the website, and you'll be able to purchase one soon.
	Of course, the large medallion coin is sold out, but these new ones are available.
	If you would like one, you can go get one.
	I've always been obsessed with coins.
	I think they're really, really neat, and Jason does a fantastic job with them.
	The detail is very nice.
	So, you can go get your David Knight Show coin.
	And as I said, this one has a nice brassy finish to it.
	We've got a comment from I'm Marty and a tip.
	Thank you, Marty.
	That is very, very generous.
	He says, month's end is nigh.
	Snail mail check going out today.
	Well, thank you, Marty.
	You've been incredibly supportive.
	So thank you so, so much.
	And of course, as always, if you have questions or comments, please feel free to drop them in chat.
	If you direct them at the account.
	We're more likely to see them.
	So Lance will grab those and put them up for me.
	I love talking with you guys.
	I love hearing what you guys have to say.
	So if you've got questions or comments, direct them at the account.
	I would love to hear from you all.
	But in this segment, I'd like to look at why we pray.
	And this is something that my dad has been talking about a lot over the last few days, over the last week that he's been home.
	And this is from the C.S. Lewis Institute, simply titled, Why Pray?
	It's by Thomas A. Terrence.
	This is from March 1st, 2003.
	Yes, why pray?
	If God is omniscient, doesn't he know everything we need?
	And if he is not, and if he is both omniscient...
	So goes a common line of reasoning about prayer, which influences many of us to our own impoverishment and detriment of Christ's kingdom.
	This reasoning has a certain logic and seems to have some biblical plausibility.
	Scripture clearly tells us that God is all-knowing.
	Nothing in all creation is hidden from God's sight.
	Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of him to whom we must give an account.
	Hebrews 4.13 And that he is all-powerful and does as he pleases with the powers of heaven and the people of the earth.
	No one can hold back his hand or say to him, what have you done?
	Daniel 4.35 And that the Lord is good and his love endures forever.
	His faithfulness continues through all generations.
	Psalms 100.5 However, to infer from these truths that prayer is unnecessary is to overlook the broader teaching of Scripture.
	The Bible does indeed teach us that everything we need for life and godliness is found in God who is willing and able to give it and knows our need before we ask.
	But it does not teach that he bestows these riches upon us automatically as a matter of right.
	Jesus says, And it will be given to you.
	Seek and you will find.
	Knock and the door will be opened to you.
	Matthew 7.7 Have faith in God.
	Whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it and it will be yours.
	Mark 11.22.24 This kind can come out only by prayer.
	Mark 9.29 Get up and pray so that you will not fall into temptation.
	Luke 22.46 If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer.
	Matthew 21.22 The clear import of these and similar passages is that in many instances we can lay hold of God's promises only through believing prayer.
	John Calvin places great stress on the importance of prayer, saying words fail to explain how necessary prayer is.
	he held that it is by the benefit of prayer that we reach those riches which are laid up for us with heavenly father and that after we have been instructed by faith to recognize that whatever we need and whatever we lack is in god it remains for us to seek him and in prayer to ask of him we have learned to be in him He saw no conflict between prayer and providence, but rather taught that in prayer, we invoke the presence both of his providence and of his power.
	Prayer and providence, then far from being antithetical, are actually reciprocal.
	Providence inspires prayer, and prayers invoke providence.
	Here divine sovereignty and human responsibility mysteriously converge in a way we cannot fully explain, but which is nonetheless real.
	By failing to pray, we can forfeit personal blessings which God would otherwise bestow.
	It does appear that in his sovereignty, God has ordained believing prayer as a necessary means for our receiving many of his promises.
	Therefore, James can say, you do not have because you do not ask.
	And Calvin says to us, nothing is promised to be expected from the Lord, which you are not also been to ask of him in prayers.
	And he is inactive as if forgetting us when he sees us idle and mute.
	And so, while some measure of blessings come to everyone because God causes His Son to rise on the evil and the good, it is only through prayer that we lay hold of many riches He promises.
	By failing to pray, we can hinder.
	By failing to pray, can we hinder the work of God's kingdom?
	Scripture is clear that ultimately God's kingdom will prevail over the kingdoms of this world and that His purposes will be fulfilled, yet Scripture also teaches that believing prayer is somehow a significant part of the process.
	Jesus teaches us to pray, Your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven, and to ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore to send out workers into his harvest field.
	And he promises, I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Son may bring glory to the Father.
	You may ask me anything in my name, and I will do it.
	In Paul's ministry, prayer is consistently a vital element for opening doors and effective ministry, and a key to his deliverance from prison.
	The apostles devoted themselves to prayer and the ministry of the word.
	James exhorts us to imitate the faith and prayer of Elijah, saying the fervent prayers of a righteous man avails much.
	The inescapable conclusion from these and many similar passages is that the sovereign God has ordered his creation in such a way as to allow prayer to play a vital part of the outworking of his purposes.
	It is true, then, that the fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.
	Doesn't the kingdom suffer loss or missed opportunity when we neglect earnest prayer?
	What would have happened if Moses had not interceded for Israel on Sinai, or if the Jerusalem church had not made earnest prayer for Peter as he awaited execution?
	Why pray?
	Because the sovereign God, who is indeed omnipotent and good, has established prayer as the means by which we receive what he has promised and help fulfill what he has ordained.
	One can only wonder what blessings we are missing today, both in our personal lives and in our church.
	It is because of our failure to earnestly pray.
	One can only wonder what might yet happen if we would follow the examples of Luther, Calvin, Edwards, Whitefield, And we have seen in our lives, just over the last week, what your prayers have done for us.
	As my dad said, with the blood pressure numbers and the heart rates that he was experiencing, without your prayers, we do not think he would still be here with us.
	We have seen an outpouring of mercy from God, as he answered our prayers and your prayers, that he would protect and preserve our Father here on earth, that he would have more time with us.
	And so, just our family alone can testify in that way, that prayer is a key part of the Christian relationship with God, that we should reach out and ask of him things, that we should pray for these things.
	The beginning of that article, where it's asking, Why pray if God is sovereign over everything?
	It makes me think of the story of Jericho, where they're told to march around the city and blow horns.
	That obviously isn't going to cause the walls to fall down, but that was how God decreed to show his power, was first that they would walk around it and declare, essentially, God's power over it, and then God acted.
	Yes.
	And I know in my own personal life, I can fall into this trap of, well, it's sort of a ritualistic, mechanistic thing I can engage with.
	But that is not the truth of it.
	Every time we pray, we are directly, it is as if you are before him in the throne room.
	That is the way I try to view it in the moments when I am clearly thinking about it, that I am right before his feet, that he is directly before me and is hearing me cry out to him.
	So that is what I try to keep in mind.
	It is a very direct and personal connection to the Lord of all creation who loves us and wants what is best for us.
	And this is another...
	And that is a big part of it, is it is for...
	Yes.
	And as I said, in our lives we have seen so many times answered prayers.
	And this is another article on prayer.
	This is from GotQuestions, and it is simply again titled, Why Pray?
	And that is a very, very good, just simple way of putting it.
	Jesus prayed, and if it is something...
	We should do so all the more.
	Another reason to pray is that God intends prayer to be the means of obtaining his solutions in a number of situations.
	We pray in preparations for major decisions to overcome demonic barriers, to gather workers for the spiritual harvest, to gain strength to overcome temptation, and to obtain means of strengthening others spiritually.
	We come to God with our specific requests, and we have God's promise that our prayers are not in vain, even if we do not receive specifically what we asked for.
	His promise that when we ask for things that are in accordance with his will, he will give us what we ask.
	Sometimes he delays his answers according to his wisdom and for our benefit.
	In these situations, we are to be diligent and persistent in prayer.
	Prayer should not be seen as our means of getting God to do our will on earth, but rather as a means of getting God's will done on earth.
	God's wisdom far exceeds our own.
	That's right.
	In my own personal life, as I'm sure many of you know, I have rheumatoid arthritis.
	It causes pain and discomfort.
	And I, of course, pray for relief for that, but whether God relieves that or not, the act of praying and communing with him is worthwhile.
	And of course, the clay cannot say to the potter, why have you made me this way?
	It is his will that I must serve, and he may possibly have a purpose for me to have this disease.
	Perhaps it is so people can see that I still maintain good spirits and still trust in him, despite the fact that I still deal with it.
	For situations in which we do not know God's will specifically, prayer is a means of discerning his will.
	Prayer was instrumental in the spirit sending of Paul and Barnabas on the first missionary journey.
	Solomon asked for wisdom and knowledge, and God gave him that and much more.
	Prayers unprayed will be prayers unanswered.
	If the Syrian woman with the demon-influenced daughter had not prayed to Christ, her daughter would not have been made whole.
	If the blind man outside Jericho had not called out to Christ, he would have remained blind.
	God has said that we often go without because we do not ask.
	In one sense prayer is like sharing the gospel with people.
	We do not know who will respond to the message of the gospel until we share it.
	We will never see the results of answered prayer unless we pray.
	A lack of prayer demonstrates a lack of faith and a lack of trust in God's word.
	We pray to demonstrate our faith in God, that he will do as he has promised in his word and bless our lives abundantly, more than we could ask or hope for.
	Prayer is our primary means of seeing God work in others' lives, because it is our means of plugging into God's power.
	It is our means of defeating Satan and his army, that we are powerless to overcome by ourselves.
	Therefore, may God find us before his throne, for we have a high priest in heaven who can identify with all that we go through.
	We have his promise that the fervent prayer of a righteous man accomplishes much.
	May God glorify his name in our lives as we believe in him enough to come to him often in prayer.
	Yes, again, we have seen prayer work so many miracles in our lives, especially this past week.
	So again, thank you all for prayer, and we just ask that you do continue to pray for our dad.
	Pray that he would be healed, that he would be restored.
	I also, many people treat prayer as a last resort, as something like, well, this is only for major issues.
	This is only something.
	I only go to God when I have a huge, unsolvable problem of my own, but that is not the way we are meant to treat it.
	You can pray about anything, for anything, no matter how small or trivial or inconsequential, God can answer your prayer.
	He is omnipotent.
	It takes the same amount of effort for everything, which is to say, None.
	Whether it's something trivial in your life or spinning up the entire universe, God can do it.
	That is how it is.
	This is a silly little anecdote, but this is the most trivial prayer request that I've ever seen answered immediately in my life.
	I was probably no older than 10, and I was playing Pokemon.
	I remember praying to catch this one specific Pokemon that was very difficult, and immediately it happened.
	It showed up.
	I caught it.
	And I remember thinking, wow, what a miracle.
	And I know this is a trivial, ridiculous instance, but again, God answers even the trivial, ridiculous prayers of children.
	And I find that to be amazing.
	A comment from Angry Tiger's Den.
	has given me.
	Even if I'm going through tough times, a lot of times, tough times are a blessing in and of themselves.
	Yes.
	Yes.
	Tough times and hard times are how God can teach us many, many things.
	He uses them very frequently to show us areas that we lack and to give us lessons.
	He is a good Father and He teaches us through many different ways.
	Yes, you can talk to God as you would your father, because he is your father, and he's a good father.
	Got some more about prayer.
	This is from Relationships Well.
	What's the point of prayer when God does whatever he wants?
	And again, we've talked about this a little bit, but I think Well, that's what the Bible says.
	The Lord does whatever he pleases in the heavens and on the earth, in the seas and all their depths.
	Pretty much whatever God wants to happen happens.
	So what does it matter if I want something different?
	Why pray for something specific when God is going to do what he wants, regardless what's the point of prayer?
	Why pray when prayers don't get answered?
	When my mom died, it was one of the first times I really understood that just because God can do something doesn't mean he will.
	And that very thought has bombarded my mind so much this week.
	I pray.
	I trust God hears my prayers.
	I trust that what I ask for, I will receive.
	But I also know from personal experience that God doesn't always give us what we ask for.
	I wanted my mom to live, and she's dead.
	So what was the point of praying for her, healing, if God already knew she wasn't going to live?
	What if someone is praying for the opposite thing?
	Another very repetitive thought I have is, what if someone is praying for the opposite of what I'm praying for?
	God can't answer both prayers.
	For example, if I'm praying for a stock to go up and someone else out there is praying for it to go down, we both have faith that God can bless our investment.
	What's going to happen?
	One person is going to get disappointed.
	So what's the point of praying?
	So as I journey through my understanding of prayer, I hope it helps you realize you aren't alone in your questioning.
	What's the point of prayer?
	Prayer strengthens your relationship with God.
	Yes, as we've talked about, it is your direct line to Him.
	It is a relationship with Him.
	You are communicating and talking with Him, and it can help you become closer to Him.
	Prayer isn't about getting what you want.
	It's not a request and grant type of transaction.
	Prayer is a part of a much bigger and much more important aspect of life, your relationship with God.
	Communication is key to a successful relationship, and your relationship with God is no different.
	Prayer is a conversation.
	It takes talking and listening.
	And the listening part is arguably the most important.
	Because when you listen to God, you learn His will.
	And when you know His will, you can pray His will.
	When you pray His will, He answers your prayers.
	Of course, here, again, the Bible tells us to pray.
	Praying relieves anxiety, worry, and fear.
	There are real benefits to praying, even if our prayers go unanswered.
	Philippians 4, 6-7 says, When we share our anxieties, worries, and fears with God, He takes the weight of those things off our shoulders and gives us peace in return.
	So what's the point of prayer?
	The encouraging thing in all this is that God does answer prayers.
	There are plenty of scripture about that too.
	The real point of prayer is strengthening your relationship with God.
	That way you know what to pray for and can experience the hope and peace of doing so.
	Yes.
	And again, we just thank you all for continuing to pray for our dad.
	We cannot thank you enough.
	We truly believe that his being with us here today is a miracle and direct result of all of you that prayed that God would protect and heal him and preserve him.
	So we just ask that you continue those prayers.
	We ask that you would continue to ask for him to be fully restored so that he would be able to communicate freely again and be able to speak with you all again soon.
	Comment from Knights of the Storm, hard times make strong men.
	It's part of the process.
	Took me a long time to understand and appreciate that.
	Yes.
	If you only ever experience a soft, luxurious life, you will not be a very strong or resilient person.
	God knows all these things and knows what is truly best for us.
	Children want candy all the time.
	I personally want candy all the time, but if I were to eat candy all the time, it would make me a very sick and weak individual.
	Spetro626, that is incredibly generous.
	Thank you so much, Spetro.
	God bless David's body, voice, and send spiritual strength.
	Yes, please, as we said, continue to pray for his healing, especially for his voice and his speech.
	We really do hope that he can be back with us here soon.
	And be able to sit at this desk and convey the news to you all and just work for God's glory in future through this as well.
	So we thank you all so much for the support.
	We thank you all for the prayers.
	We're going to take another quick break, and we will be right back.
	We'll be right back.
	We'll be right back.
	Thank you.
	Thank you.
	A penny saved is a penny earned.
	The...
	Welcome back, folks.
	I pressed the wrong coin ad, but that is my fault.
	But I do have the coin now in hand.
	As you can see, it has a very nice brassy finish.
	Again, these are from Jason Barker.
	One side, of course, has the microphone.
	The words, Using Free Speech to Free Minds, and the other side, which you are currently seeing now, has the Chess Knight piece, The David Knight Show, and www.thedavidknightshow.com on it.
	I'll hold that out for you to maybe get a better look at it.
	The Chess Knight looks fantastic, as does the microphone.
	Jason does a fantastic job with these.
	So, if you want them, they are up on the website, and you'll be able to purchase them.
	We thank Jason Barker so much for designing and creating these.
	Again, they look fantastic.
	I love the brassy finish.
	I love coins in general.
	And of course, these are modeled after military challenge coins.
	So they're very, very cool.
	I still have one of the originals that I keep with me at most times.
	So if you would like one of the new ones, as I said, they're up on the website.
	They look fantastic.
	They've got a great weight.
	They've got a great feel.
	So if you like coins like I do, you can go get yours.
	Star Barkley, thank you so much.
	That is very generous.
	Just says amen.
	Well, thank you, Star Barkley.
	And I just want to remind you that in about 20 minutes, we'll be joined by our guest, Courtney Turner.
	She is the host of the Courtney Turner Podcast.
	She's done over 600 episodes, and we're going to be talking to her about all kinds of different things.
	Stay tuned for that.
	But we are going to continue with...
	I think we're going to take a brief jaunt through some kind of miscellaneous news items that are interesting.
	The first one I have here is from the Daily Caller, and it is...
	Yes, we have seen an uptick in people calling in SWAT raids against people they don't like.
	And as a general rule, it is conservatives online that have borne the brunt of this in the recent weeks and months.
	But this largely started with live streamers in general.
	People found it funny that they could call in some kind of Hostage situation or whatever causing the SWAT team to roll up on someone's house while they were live on the air and force them into a sort of confrontation.
	Now, this is dangerous.
	Of course, the SWAT teams do not know what is going on and can lead to lethal confrontations when the person steps outside.
	Unaware of any deaths that have resulted from swatting, but it is still a dangerous and very, very scary situation that can happen.
	Okay.
	Florida Governor Ron DeSantis signs anti-swatting law aimed at combating malicious false reports, especially those targeting right-leaning influencers driven by ideological motives.
	On Wednesday, DeSantis signed HB 279 after multiple recent incidents of conservative influencers targeted by deadly attacks across the country.
	The bill seeks to criminalize false reports leading to emergency responses, classifying them as a third-degree felony for significant injury or permanent harm, and a second-degree felony if they result in death.
	It also lowers the threshold for felony penalties from 4 to 2 false reports and holds offenders accountable for costs of prosecution, investigation, and victim restitution.
	I signed an anti-swatting bill a couple of years ago.
	It was a strong legislation, but the bill I'm going to sign today is the strongest in the country, DeSantis said in an interview with American Newsroom.
	And again, this is, in my opinion, a good piece of legislation.
	You are effectively pointing a gun at someone.
	You are sending a very, very dangerous group of people to their front door who are keyed up and ready for a dangerous situation.
	It is definitely a step in the right direction.
	Deaths from swatting happen fairly frequently.
	But it's not addressing the root cause of it, which is the extremely militarized police.
	There was a case a little while ago about police showing up to the wrong house and then killing someone because they got the address wrong and they killed the person at that house.
	And the police were found to have...
	Fairly easy to get these guys geared up and ready to go kick in someone's front door.
	That's why if you do some sort of online conservative show, it is probably a good idea to go to your local police department and tell them, hey, just so you know, I live at this address, I live at this location.
	If you get a call about it, please don't come in all battle rattle, heavy metal rock and roll ready to go.
	Maybe confirm things first because this has been happening.
	If you do that sort of thing, that may be something to look into.
	If you do your own show, if you are an online personality, get in touch with your local police department and make sure they understand that this is something you may eventually have to deal with.
	This is from Reason.
	A federal judge says New Mexico cops reasonably killed an innocent man at the wrong house.
	U.S. District Judge Matthew Garcia rejected the argument that the officers recklessly created the need to apply deadly force by going to the wrong address.
	Yes.
	Yes, around 1130 on Wednesday night in April 2023, three police officers repeatedly knocked on the door of Robert Dotson's house at 5305 Valley View Avenue in Farmington, New Mexico.
	They're responding to a report of a possible domestic violence situation, but they were in the wrong place.
	They were supposed to be at 5308 Valley View Avenue, which is on the opposite side of the street.
	When Dotson, a 52-year-old father of two, came to the door with a gun in his hand, the cops shot and killed him.
	That's right.
	You walk to the door.
	You hear people loudly banging on it.
	You think you are in danger.
	You grab your gun to make sure that in case something goes wrong, you have a way of protecting yourself.
	The police officers see it, take it as an immediate threat, and gun you down immediately.
	There is no wait time.
	There is no de-escalation of the situation.
	They just immediately start shooting.
	We have seen that happen time and time again.
	The police have been militarized and trained in a shoot-first curriculum.
	That is a huge part of the problem, where they're supposed to protect and serve, but really they just protect and serve the interests of the federal government.
	That response, a federal judge in New Mexico ruled last week, was reasonable in the circumstances and therefore did not violate Dotson's Fourth Amendment rights.
	The officers reasonably believed that Dotson posed a severe risk of imminent harm to them.
	U.S. District Judge Matthew Garcia writes in response to a federal civil rights lawsuit that Dotson's family filed in September 2023.
	Garcia rejected the plaintiff's argument that the officers, Daniel Estrada, Dylan Goodluck, and Address, they bang on your door, they get you out of bed, you are confused, you are worried, you grab your firearm just in case, and they gun you down the instant they see it.
	This is, again, because as Lance said, of the hyper-militarized police that have taken it upon themselves to be judge, jury, and executioner.
	And as I said, we're going to go through quite a few headlines here.
	This one is from Zero Hedge.
	Epstein's lawyer brokered plea deal based on intelligence ties while not knowing about them.
	Just took a guess there, I suppose.
	After our correspondent asked White House Press Secretary Caroline Levitt about pedophile ring operator Jeffrey Epstein's potential ties to intelligence agencies in the state of Israel, we followed the exchange up with an article listing some of the evidence behind that theory.
	Of note was this portion.
	In 2007, Southern Florida attorney Alex Acosta chose not to press charges against Epstein despite numerous young girls alleging abuse.
	Acosta reportedly did so because he was told that Epstein belonged to intelligence, that it was above his pay grade, and to leave it alone.
	Epstein's lawyer who brokered the deal with Acosta was Alan Dershowitz.
	Good old Alan Dershowitz, the man who would forcibly vaccinate you, would call in the military, drag you out of your home, and put the shot in your arm.
	That Alan Dershowitz.
	Who self-admittedly has been working for the state of Israel for decades and was key in negotiating the release of the Mossad agents rounded up after 9-11.
	I wonder what Mossad had to do with 9-11.
	I wonder why they rounded up Mossad agents after 9-11.
	What an interesting turn of events.
	You know, truly strange.
	Almost makes me want to dance.
	Caught photographing and celebrating the World Trade Center attacks.
	Thus, the lawyer has a history of brokering non-prosecution deals on behalf of Mossad.
	It appears conservative influencer Benny Johnson may have read that snippet because after retweeting the White House exchange, Johnson interviewed Dershowitz the following day and asked him about the infamous plea deal.
	Johnson received an interesting reply.
	Epstein's former lawyer Alan Dershowitz claims Epstein may have been working with Mossad, says he dined with him alongside high-ranking Israeli officials.
	It's possible Israeli intelligence used him.
	He flew to Israel, had lunch with prominent Israelis.
	Well, well, well.
	This isn't a shock to most of us.
	This has been the foremost theory in many of our minds for a long time.
	I mean, there's been lots of evidence of it.
	Look, the Maxwell family has been Mossad assets for generations, and Ghislaine Maxwell, of course, is the one coordinating everything for Jeffrey Epstein.
	Yes, the ties to Mossad have been quite obvious.
	So, Dersh, you brokered the plea deal with Acosta.
	Yes, the plea deal wherein Acosta was told Epstein belonged to intelligence and that Acosta should back off.
	Yes.
	Then you knew Epstein was working for intelligence.
	Hmm.
	I don't know.
	It's possible.
	We had lunch in Israel once, I think.
	Also, did you catch him saying Epstein killed himself or was killed?
	Changing tones.
	Interestingly, this anything's possible attitude marked a distinct change in Dershowitz's prior comments on the matter from March of 2023.
	Epstein didn't work for Mossad.
	The Mossad wouldn't hire him, Dershowitz stated emphatically, courtesy of journalist Kim Iverson.
	Well, I don't think the Mossad has many scruples or morals at all.
	In fact, we have seen over and over again that Israel is somewhat of a haven for pedophiles since they have their right of return.
	If someone of Jewish descent gets caught in something to do with pedophilia, they very frequently flee to Israel and are there and left alone.
	I mean, we even saw the Sackler family after the opioid epidemic abscond and return to Israel, if memory serves.
	We have a comment.
	Yeah, that happened in Wichita, Kansas.
	At Whistler, too.
	If it's not the same one, I was like, what about the cop that killed him?
	Bah, no charges.
	The real Octo spook.
	Hiring low IQ'd cops is not good.
	Lack of proper training is not good.
	Hiring ex-military is just evil, along with the SWAT military tactics.
	Yes, they gear these guys up like they're going to war with the American people, because that's what it is.
	It is a war on the American people.
	It is a war on your freedoms.
	They are simply there to be the boot that will land on your throat.
	This article lists some additional Mossad ties.
	Lastly, when laying out Epstein's ties to Israeli intelligence in the previous piece, we forgot to add a pretty big exhibit that three sources had independently identified him as Mossad.
	Those are Ari Ben Manashi, a former Israeli intelligence Mossad agent himself, claimed that Epstein ran a honeypot operation on behalf of Mossad.
	Stephen?
	Hoffenberg, a former Wall Street mentor and partner in crime to Epstein, claimed that early on in Epstein's career, he told me that Ghislaine Maxwell was going to be the breakthrough to bring him into that orbit, to be able to be part of the agency in Israel.
	And that's what did occur.
	According to testimony from an anonymous former girlfriend, Epstein used to brag about being connected to the Mossad, and his accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell would hint at it as well.
	That's right, this was an open secret.
	Jeffrey Epstein.
	These ties were not hidden.
	They were out in the open.
	They were continually talked about, even by himself.
	It is not so much speculation as just covering the facts of the case.
	At minimum, you could potentially just take Jeff, good old Jeffy boy, at his word.
	This is another article from Zero Hedge.
	In the world of spies.
	The KGB spy who predicted our future.
	Of course, as I said, this is on Zero Hedge.
	It is authored by Adam Sharp via DailyReckoning.com.
	My dear friends, you think you're in very big trouble.
	Whether you believe it or not, you are at war and you may lose this war very soon together with all your affluence and freedoms unless you start defending yourselves.
	This is by Yuri.
	Bezmanov, 1984.
	In 1970, a Soviet KGB agent named Yuri Bezmanov defected to the West.
	His story is fascinating.
	Yuri shared key details on how USSR propaganda and subversion worked.
	First, we need to discover why Yuri came to the West.
	Since the 1960s, Yuri had been stationed in India.
	His cover assignment was as a journalist for the Novosti Press Agency.
	But his real job as a KGB agent was to influence policymakers, academics, and journalists.
	Yuri's mission was to infect these targets with Marxist-Leninist ideology.
	He planted stories about how benevolent and fair the USSR was.
	He charmed diplomats and politicians with vodka and less tasteful means.
	He planted stories to discredit the United States.
	he built relationships with influential Indians with a goal of shaping the narrative around the Soviet Union.
	He worked with students, recruiting future Indian leaders to study in Moscow and St. Petersburg.
	His job was to corrupt both individuals and institutions.
	Eventually, Erie became disillusioned with his work.
	He realized that his efforts were actively harming the Indian people who he had become quite attached to.
	So he decided to defect to the West.
	He disguised himself as American hippie and joined one of the wandering groups of backpackers, which frequented India at the time.
	The idea of an American hippie with a heavy Russian accent Pretty funny to me.
	It is like bees in love, men, you know?
	Try some of these acid.
	Yuri slipped his Soviet handlers and made his way to the American embassy.
	They granted him asylum, and he was debriefed by the CIA and FBI.
	To be fair, I never want to interact with hippies.
	I have had very few chances, but I have always done what I can to not do it anyway.
	In Austin, they still have a presence, and they are still a scourge.
	And as such, I can imagine that disguising yourself as one is a good way to avoid interaction with people.
	Well, maybe I'll cover this article more on Monday, because it is very interesting.
	And of course, again, a Russian-American hippie is just tickling my fancy.
	But our guest is ready, so we will take a quick break.
	And when we come back, I of course will be joined by Courtney Turner.
	We're going to talk about what's on her mind.
	Stay with us, folks.
	We'll be right back.
	You're listening to The David Knight Show.
	Wait a minute.
	Where am I?
	Sorry, Jefferson.
	The scoundrels who put America on central bank fiat currency used our heads on their coins as some sort of trophy.
	Despicable.
	This is outrageous.
	Washington!
	I spent my life fighting centralized power.
	Now the Federal Reserve monopoly parades us around on their monopoly money.
	Tell me there's some good news to all this.
	Well, there is a coin they can't control.
	One that isn't backed by the Fed, but backed by the FedUp.
	The all-new David Knight Show commemorative coin.
	Now patriots can support a show that won't sell out, with a limited-edition coin that's sure to sell out quickly.
	They say money talks, and this coin has something worth listening to.
	The truth doesn't need inflation, only support.
	The truth doesn't need inflation, only support.
	Alright, welcome back, folks, and joining me now is Courtney Turner, CourtneyTurner.com, and that is spelled C-O-U-R-T-E-N-A-Y-Turner.com, like Courtney, but Courtney, and she hosts the Courtney Turner Podcast.
	Thank you for joining us, Courtney.
	Thank you so much for having me.
	It is a pleasure.
	And, of course, we were talking during the break, and you said you wanted to talk about Game B. versus the singularity and how people are kind of shaping the narrative and how we're moving forward towards the future.
	So I'd just like to get you to kind of break down Game B for the listeners and the viewers since I was fairly unfamiliar with it myself.
	So I imagine that it is something that people could use an explanation on.
	Absolutely.
	So I know a lot of people are probably a little bit more familiar with the Dark Enlightenment currently because a lot of those figures are surrounding the Trump administration.
	So that has come to the forefront.
	What I have proposed is this thesis that they're kind of behaving as a dialectic, but they're both fomenting the technological singularity.
	I see the Game B as a little more of the appealing to like the left-leaning, a little bit more spiritual, theosophical camp.
	And the Dark Enlightenment is obviously the more authoritarian, kind of techno-fascist, GovCorp type of appeal.
	And, you know, the joke I kind of make is that it doesn't really matter if you have mommy issues or daddy issues, you know, they're going to give you a pink or blue comfort blankie to specify either one of you.
	And if you have both, they'll give you both.
	They'll give you the managed synthesis.
	Game B. So for those who are not familiar with Game B, they call it a new operating system for civilization.
	It is actually not new at all, and it's my contention that the intellectual dark web was an influence operation of sorts.
	Game B doesn't actually exist yet, but it's been in the works since 2011.
	In 2011, Jim Rutt, who was the chairman of the Santa Fe Institute, he had met Jordan Hall at the Santa Fe Institute as well, and they collaborated to create this concept.
	Originally, it was centered around, they had something called the Stanton Meetings in Stanton, Virginia.
	They brought along people like Brett Weinstein, who I'm sure a lot of your audience is familiar with.
	To start a new political party.
	They called it the Emancipation Party.
	So one of the concepts in Game B is a concept I'm seeing really kind of sprout up everywhere.
	It's this trans-political movement.
	It's this idea, very appealing to people who believe that we have a two-party illusion, you know, that they play a dialectical game between the left and the right.
	I'm not denying any of this, by the way.
	The third way, I'm not sure, is the better option.
	So they're appealing to those who, you know, recognize that the two sides get kind of pitted against each other like football teams.
	And they're presenting this one nation type of movement.
	and that's actually one of the parties one nation party um so that it was like a There's a lot of overlap with all these things, but this was the Emancipation Party.
	And it didn't really take off, mostly the way Jim Rutt explains it.
	He's kind of the grandfather of this concept of Game B. But the way he explains it is that the Boomers were all in.
	He said that the Xers, he could kind of corral, but that the Millennials loved the platform.
	It was very much aligned with, like, a Bernie Sanders-type platform.
	you can still see their reform page.
	They talk about things like a UBI.
	Both camps do, by the way, right?
	The Dark Enlightenment camp talks about that as well, because of course the robots are gonna replace us, That is one thing they both agree on.
	They both say, oh, yes, the robots are coming for your job, but one of them seems to be a bit more exuberant about it and the others seem more thoughtful, like, oh, well, it's going to happen.
	It's not great, but it's going to happen.
	Exactly.
	That's exactly right.
	They tend to be a little bit more, they claim they're more pessimistic about technology and they're not in favor of transhumanism.
	However, if you look at these group of thinkers, most of them are in the tech venture startup space.
	You know, Jim Rudd had something called the evolutionary software.
	That's actually why he was brought into the Santa Fe Institute.
	It's why he was bringing all these evolutionary biologists into the Stanton meetings back in 2011.
	He was also the CEO of Network Solutions.
	He was on the ground floor of venture capital fundraising for what became T-Mobile.
	And Jordan Hall is very similar.
	He was originally our Jordan Greenhall.
	A lot of these characters changed their name.
	I'm still not sure why that is.
	They rebrand, you know, concepts, names, companies, all that.
	Seems to change with time.
	My favorite, I always joke, is that there was a NoMap technology, which I'm pretty sure Jordan Hall was involved with.
	He doesn't explicitly say that, but he talks about the concepts of hollow chains, and it sounds exactly like what NoMap was.
	But one of the originators of NoMap, which became S7 Foundation, changed her name from Andrea to Tan.
	I still haven't figured out why Tan, but it cracks me up every time.
	Probably just general obfuscation.
	You know, they like to hide what they're doing, and it makes it harder to keep track of who they are.
	Yeah, I think it makes it harder to find the trail.
	And I end up spending a lot of time on the Wayback Machine trying to trace, you know, like Peter Thiel's project.
	He has Prospera, right?
	A lot of the people are familiar with those Bitcoin cities that he's doing in Honduras.
	Well, the subsidiary of that was Vitalia.
	And on the website, it said, you know, it's a city where you can make death optional.
	However, they've now changed it to Infinita.
	But there's overlap here because Jordan Hall has spoken at the Startup Society Foundations, which is held, it's a conference that's held at Prospera.
	And four years ago, he talked about Game B startups and network states recently within the past year.
	He did a much shorter presentation on network states and this, you know, kind of game-by concept, but he's converted to Christianity a year ago.
	He talks about liturgy and how that can be used for, essentially, for communitarianism, which I'm pretty sure is not what liturgy is about.
	But he also talks about, it was a podcast not too long ago, he talked about how Ephesians 4 teaches us that collective cognition, which again, I'm pretty sure is fascinating.
	You can make your decision.
	That wasn't my reading.
	So, yeah, so Game B, they talk about it as a new operating system for civilization.
	This Emancipation Party did not get off the ground because the Millennials, as Jim Wright explains it, loved the platform, but they decided they were such anarchists that the concept of a new political party was an anathema to them.
	And so Thor Mueller was part of this Stanton meetings group and told them they should keep the name Game B for branding purposes.
	So they kind of left the Emancipation Party launch concept and they moved forward with this Game B idea.
	And Jim Rutt has written a manifesto, like a journey to Game B. He wrote it in 2018, but he keeps updating it.
	And it's a pretty lengthy document of his prediction.
	And it's pretty interesting because he says that 2045 is when these proto-Game Bs will come to fruition.
	And I think that's just an interesting time mark because what do we have in 2045?
	We've got the AI World Society.
	Which is the UN Centennial Partnership with the Boston Global Forum, based on the book that Michael Dukakis, the former governor of Massachusetts, wrote, and it's called Remaking the World Towards an Age of Global Enlightenment.
	I do think that's a nod to the New Age movement.
	When you look at the website, the semiotics very much indicate so.
	And this is, of course, the vision for the centennial of the UN, where an artificial intelligence world society will take over.
	Sounds a little like the singularity to me.
	What do we have Ray Kurzweil saying?
	The singularity is nearer.
	When is it?
	It's 2045.
	So I thought it was a very interesting marker, a timestamp, that Jim Rudd is saying 2045 is when we're going to have these proto-beads.
	So Game B, a lot of them are disciples of people like Barbara Marks Hubbard.
	Barbara Marks Hubbard, she envisioned herself a futurist.
	She led this concept of conscious evolution.
	The foundation was funded by the Rockefellers.
	Some of her disciples have written a manifesto on cosmoerotic humanism.
	So this would be, yes, it's the first values and first principles on evolving perennialism, 42 propositions.
	On Cosmoerotic Humanism.
	They said it was a synchronistic, synergistic experience.
	This is how Mark Gaffney describes it.
	He and Barbara had this vision all at once, and it was just this super sex moment that Barbara talked about.
	And Mark Gaffney has Eros Mystery School.
	They're very explicit.
	This is not about sex.
	You know, even though that's what Eros, that's the type of love Eros is supposed to be.
	And of course, super sex has the word sex literally in the name.
	But they say that's not what it's about.
	It's this radical love affair with the universe.
	But Mark Gaffney is one of the authors of this Cosmo Erotic Humanist manifesto.
	You can find it at theofficeofthefuture.com.
	You know, it's pretty easy to predict the future when you plan it.
	We see that over and over again where they make themselves out to be prophets despite the fact that they've just been working behind the scenes continually to bring about the things.
	Architects.
	Yeah, they're architects, not visionaries.
	Or maybe visionaries, but not prophets, yeah.
	So it's Mark Gaffney who's working on his Eros Mystery School.
	He's doing cross-promotion with Aubrey Marcus on this, and he talks about how we have to revive the ancient mysteries.
	So it's very much signaling that this is an initiation.
	Interestingly enough, there is a film called An Initiation to Game B. Very much create, I keep saying I need to create glossary because they redefine terms.
	This is a theme we see with all of these types of people, right?
	Jordan Hall actually has a document on mediums called On Sovereignty.
	And he explicitly says sovereignty isn't what we typically think it means.
	You know, it's not about nation states having, you know, autonomy, and it's not about individuals magically being able to make their own decisions.
	So he has redefined the term, and that's just one example.
	But they, so there's Cosmorotic Humanism.
	They're disciples of Barbara Marks Hubbard.
	It's Zach Stein, who is also involved in the Game B film, The Initiation.
	Game B. He was inducted to the Club of Rome last year.
	Another one of the filmmakers for Game B is Nora Bateson, daughter of Gregory Bateson.
	And she's also a Club of Rome member.
	And then we have...
	And his brother, James Schmachtenberger, has launched this company.
	But if you look on the website, it's something like 60 board members.
	And everybody.
	The Game B...
	People like Deepak Chopra are on this, you know, neurohacker now, Qualia Life.
	So it's the Danish Ponchtenberger, and then who was the other one?
	Oh, Kenneth Wilber, of course, Kenneth Wilber.
	You know, his developments of altitudes that's based on Claire Graves' spiral dynamics.
	It's also based on Abraham Maslow's hierarchy of needs.
	Abraham Maslow is another interesting character that definitely falls in line with all of this and kind of paves the way.
	He had a document called Politics 3 that was published posthumously in 1972, and it was published by Robert Cantor and Willis Harmon.
	Lewis Harmon was the president of the Institute of Noetic Sciences for two decades.
	And he was also one of the lead researchers and editors on the Changing Images of Man document that was done in partnership with Stanford Research Institute.
	And he used his assistant's name, Marilyn Ferguson, to popularize the ideas in that.
	And that was called The Aquarian Conspiracy.
	So people might be familiar with that book.
	And so these are kind of the disciples of that school of thought.
	He wasn't the only one, you know, there was Vernadsky and there were several others, but he was very much a thought leader in that space of...
	And you see that theme constantly.
	So this is what I'm proposing is that we have these different flavors of something while Game B is presented as being very decentralized, kind of grassroots.
	But I caution people to remember HG Wells said that the conduit to the world brain would be the decentralization of information institutions.
	Of course, back then, it was the academic institutions.
	But what are the information institutions today?
	I would argue it's the Internet.
	It's the technology.
	And in Balaji Srinivasan's book on the network state, He says he doesn't talk about H.G. Wells, but he talks about how it's all going to be decentralized.
	You know, we'll have a dissolution of geographical nation states in favor of ideological network states, but then later they will be re-centralized.
	So he even says it in his book that that is the purpose.
	But right now, they're very much appealing under the banner of libertarianism.
	You know, I would argue that's what Peter Thiel, Prospera, so there's overlap between these two groups, right?
	Peter Thiel is usually thought of as being More of the Dark Enlightenment camp.
	But we're starting to see some convergence between the two.
	And I just really keep saying that, to me, it looks like you get a buffet, like a buffet of poisonous ice cream.
	You can't see all the poisonous chemicals that are in there.
	But, you know, you might see your favorite flavor.
	So if you prefer chocolate or you prefer strawberry or vanilla or whatever flavor, they've got something there for you.
	Yeah, you can pick your preferred salesman for this globalist insanity.
	They have many different faces that they love to market with.
	My producer, Lance, has been telling me about this past week just recently.
	Google released a self-improving AI that was able to not just improve itself, but on an algorithm that has been used for decades.
	And so there's diminishing returns right now, but this is a sign of things to come.
	This sort of thing is coming down the pipeline and it's going to be coming faster than people think it is.
	It's also interesting to me that they're pointing at 2045 and they also have another, you know, other agendas which are coming, they want to come to fruition in 2035, whether it's a technological, and it seems that that 10 year timeline would give them more than enough time to implement these horrific policies, bring them to fruition and have people get fed up with the current status quo and be willing to welcome just about anything to get away from what we currently have with the, you know,
	And, of course, they love to think in these long-term timelines.
	That's one of the areas that they excel in.
	They plan things out in terms of decades at minimum.
	They sit there in their clouded back rooms, and they work together in these very incestuous sorts of groups where they all tie back into one another.
	So it is very interesting to me, as you said, that is a 2045 where they're So I would be very surprised if it didn't even accelerate from there, in my opinion.
	Yeah, I think it will accelerate from there.
	I think they're really laying the groundwork right now, and they're laying it out in so many different ways to appeal to different people.
	So another modality is, of course, the financial system, right?
	And we're seeing a lot of that discussion currently, where people are cheering the fact that Trump has put his executive order against CBDCs, and I'm glad he did.
	But now he's talking about things like the stable coins and you've got the stable act marching forward under the Genius Act.
	And what we have is I think it's much harder to sell some of this top down kind of centralized authoritative stock.
	all in favor of efficiency.
	I'm all in favor of transparency.
	Expose all the bloated apparatus and the bloated spending.
	That's all great.
	However, behind that is this concept of the dark enlightenment, which is rage.
	Retire all government employees.
	What do they want to replace all those government employees with?
	They want to replace it with robotics and AI.
	And they're pretty explicit about this.
	This is not, you know...
	They have made that pretty clear.
	I'm hoping there's opportunities in that window before they're able to roll that out, and people should absolutely seize whatever opportunities arise.
	But I think they need to be aware that that's where they're headed.
	And I think an AI-managed system could be way more tyrannical than any fascist or communist type of approach.
	Not that I'm in favor of any of them.
	But I do think the technocratic regime that they're trying to roll out is very, very dystopian.
	But now they're trying to, for people who are not in favor of a GovCorp type of situation, Which, by the way, I think also people don't necessarily recognize that, or if they do, I'd like to just highlight the fact that this GovCorp is privatizing everything.
	So I think a lot of people champion that because they think that that's going to be more freedom and they have this notion of it being capitalistic in a free market sense.
	But it's much more GovCorp, not so much free market where the little guy can have a startup business.
	That's not what they're...
	talking about here.
	People like Curtis Yarvin who helmed this dark enlightenment movement have even said America needs to get over their fear of the dictatorship because that is the best system.
	I might be paraphrasing but basically what he said.
	So these figures are I It's not any great philosophy, and it's very poor writing, quite honestly.
	But somehow, the intellectuals eat it up.
	I'm not sure how, but maybe in a soundbite society, it's very appealing to have these long bloviations about our dystopian future.
	But in the more game B, with the kind of libertarian type of umbrella, they're advertising tokenized.
	It's still a gamified tokenized economy, but it's more under a banner of something like communitarianism.
	They keep mentioning West's book on scales and Dunbar.
	So they have this vision that you have to have communities that are less than 150 people.
	Because they say that more than 150 people, you need bureaucracy.
	And so, with these smaller communities, you could have, theoretically, you could be devoid of bureaucracy.
	However, what's going to replace that bureaucracy?
	It's the same thing as the GovCorp.
	It's going to be done under, Jordan Hall talks about hyperstructure, and he says that, you know, Bitcoin would be an example of hyperstructure.
	But what he's really talking about is blockchain.
	And he says even more than Bitcoin, he's an advocate of proof of work types of blockchain.
	So things like a KWI network is something he's a big proponent of.
	But it's still this concept of having things like tokenized gamified economy where things are where assets can be fractionalized.
	And people think that sounds great.
	They're marketing it and selling it to you as, oh, so I could have a.
	They're talking about tangible assets.
	But you would like to think, the example I use, you'd like to think that family members and loved ones could share assets.
	But unfortunately, this is why...
	but that's what they're talking about.
	They're talking about a tokenized economy.
	And that could be just as, You still have some sort of a social credit system within that community.
	I'm sure that if you do something that they decide that doesn't, they forget if the community doesn't like it, but it did not comply with the smart contract that has been instituted, right?
	Because it's a hyper structure.
	They want to take people out of the equation.
	And so now you're going to have these smart contracts who are, Yes.
	I'm just trying to point out that they're really presenting things in these different flavors.
	And it's not to say that everybody involved is like a bad, evil, maniacal person trying to control the world.
	I think some of them are just utopianist.
	You know, they have a very romanticized vision of the future and they think they're smarter than everybody else.
	So, of course, they're the ones to, or in some cases, they're more spiritually evolved, right?
	They believe in the spiritual eugenics as well.
	I know no one has gotten it right yet, but we're going to be the ones that do it.
	We're more advanced.
	We've come a long way, which is continually what these people tell themselves every single time.
	But yeah, what you were saying about getting people out of bureaucracy, while it does sound like a good idea...
	You can potentially appeal to their humanity.
	When you get a computer involved with it, there is no chance for that.
	It is simply numbers.
	It will look at what is said and done in the law, and it will just apply that ruthlessly.
	There will be no chance for it to have mercy upon you.
	That's exactly right.
	And you also have to consider that any kind of an algorithm has been programmed.
	Who's doing the programming?
	It's only going to magnify whatever that person's worldview, biases, or intention was.
	And so even if they have the best of intentions, it may not align with yours.
	yeah we see that over and over again just how rapidly the AIs have been shoved full of biases from the people who are coding them programmed to adhere to whatever the prominent world view of the moment is and just got a comment another one from our producer these stable coins as he's presenting them
	Yeah, yeah, that's exactly right.
	So I, yeah, I am very concerned just because I feel like they keep finding new ways to appeal to, you know, the resistance.
	And so I'm just trying to sound the alarm so that people are not...
	But you should be aware that they do believe in things like collective intelligence.
	And that is the, so, you know, when you look at the Game B, it's kind of, they're talking about a collective intelligence created through consensus, and I would argue kind of brainwashing.
	There's actually Jake Ruse, when he's talking about the Game B, you know, initiation to Game B film.
	They have these, they call it dialogos.
	So, I think dialogue has drifted very far away from, you know, what used to be the Socratic method in dialects.
	And now, I think, especially since the Delphi method, it has come to me in consensus building.
	In Game B, they call it sense-making.
	And they're always having these various dialogues.
	But in this one, Jake Roos was talking about how he's working on a Disney project and he's going to have to try Progen horse game B through this project.
	So essentially, you know, inculcate through the culture, aka socially engineer the masses, you know, brainwash them with this concept.
	So they're presenting it as bottom up, whereas the Dark Enlightenment people are presenting it as, you know, more of an outright technocracy, you know, in line with like a Elon Musk's grandfather, Josh Hattleman, was a leader of Technocracy, Inc.
	in Canada from 1936 to 1943 and run by Howard Scott initially.
	So this concept that you build a Technate, but it's still both of them have this idea of kind of power blocks.
	One is more of a grassroots, bottom-up.
	That's being operated through network states in the cloud, and then the other through these, you know, power block regions, right?
	Technates that are very similar to the Glove of Rome's, you know, globalized adaptive regionalization map.
	It's also very similar to that.
	But again, it's all still going to be run through, what, technology and the internet.
	And I'll just say one more thing.
	I think you want to say something, but the evolutionary leader, Bruce Lifton, who I believe he was on the call, Polyocyte as well.
	But he talks about how we evolve.
	And right, he says we start off as these amoeba.
	He uses a spiral analogy, which is not a coincidence.
	This is spiral metaphysics versus like a plumb line, sorry, plumb line metaphysics, right, where we have reality anchored.
	I know a lot of people are probably familiar with the spiral analogy from Hegelian dialectics.
	I'm actually in the process of writing a book on Hegel's dialectic.
	It's called Hegel's Dialectic and Gnostic Jacob's Ladder and Machinery of Control.
	And I have a little preview on my substack for anybody who's interested in getting a sneak peek at what I've got so far.
	But he talks about it and he uses the imagery of the spiral and he talks about how we start as amoeba and that amoeba are so intelligent because of their The membrane, that's where they get their intelligence from.
	And then we evolve into these multicellular organisms and they're more intelligent because they have more membrane.
	And then he says humans are complex multicellular organisms and we're so intelligent because we have so much surface area of membrane.
	And then he says we have this potential to co-create.
	This is a term you hear from a lot of these conscious evolutionary figures like Barbara Marks Hubbard.
	This idea that we are going to co-create.
	It's a very Gnostic type of concept, but we're going to co-create.
	And he says that we can, we'll either go extinct or we can co-create and we'll evolve into a superorganism of humanity.
	And that the membrane for that organism is going to be what?
	The internet.
	So again, we have this no sphere concept pointing us towards the technological similarity.
	Yes.
	Just.
	Sorry.
	The way they act is if technology is a democratizing force, whereas these types of technologies are incredibly expensive.
	AIs are enormously expensive to create and enormously expensive to run on a large scale.
	So it seems to me that it is inherently undemocratic and that it gives these...
	It's like, oh, it's democratic.
	But realistically, how are you as an individual or a small group of 100 or 125 people going to compete with someone like Elon Musk, who has multiple billions of dollars to run these sorts of things and utilize them to their full potential?
	Even less democratic than normal when it comes to how much money can influence this type of society.
	Yeah, and with this trans-political movement, they talk about using AI and using technology for voting.
	Which is putting everything up on the blockchain.
	So you've got the quadratic voting, ranked choice voting.
	There are various different offerings of this.
	There's the conviction voting.
	And Jim Rudd talks about liquid democracy.
	Barbara Marks Hubbard talks about synergy.
	Logistic democracy.
	But all of this is couched in language that makes you think that it's a very direct democracy, which, by the way, I'm not in favor of anyway.
	That's why our founding fathers created a republic, not a democracy, because they knew that a democracy meant mob rule.
	So it's, you know, it ends up being quite tyrannical and barbaric in many cases, as they saw in ancient Greece, and that is why they did not craft a direct democracy.
	However, they do talk about it being Much more direct.
	But you're using AI.
	And you're using technology.
	Which, one, do we think that there's going to be no kinds of corruption involved there?
	No manipulation?
	What do we see with the voting systems now, right?
	We've already had those kinds of challenges.
	But also, you're having AI.
	It's really AI replacing government.
	That's really what you're seeing.
	And they talk about this in the AI World Society.
	They say how all governments are going to be supplanted and replaced through AI.
	And so in this case, they're just talking about it in a more, again, grassroots, like you're going to opt into this system.
	But we already have this.
	We have, in several states, they're doing these summits.
	And in my state, I believe it's this month.
	And it is on a digital governance.
	And there's already a chat GPT gov, which you have to be a government official to enter the portal.
	And they're doing these symposiums on digital governance and how we're going to use AI and digital, yeah, governing.
	Well, yeah, it just gets scarier and scarier as they move to integrate these things.
	And we've seen just the budget bill that they're working on passing would prevent states from, They would be able to do whatever they wanted and the state would have no say in it.
	One of our listeners was just pointing that out.
	We talked about that yesterday.
	But it's just, again, incredibly scary that they're continuing to centralize this stuff.
	What was it?
	The FDA is moving to utilize AI to approve drugs now, I believe.
	I believe we covered that last week.
	So it is just, they are moving at a very, very rapid pace towards this, again, push to incorporate AI into all aspects of the government.
	And as you're pointing out, they then want to phase out the human component, which...
	You know, we're spending less on people, we're spending less on salaries, but we are then completely at the mercy of these algorithms.
	Yes, exactly.
	And the algorithms are using cybernetic feedback loops, right?
	That's what they're, they're busy data mining.
	And we see this in every sector possible, right?
	We see this with the education system.
	We see this with just consumerism.
	That's usually how it's marketed.
	They're just getting information to understand your behavior so they can give you the best ads that you want to see.
	Just the perfect widget for you.
	That's all it's about.
	Just making sure that you can fulfill your consumerist dreams.
	Right.
	Oh, no, just got a comment again from the reducer.
	Doge is minimizing government but maximizing governance, which is a good way to put it.
	They were reducing the number of people but maximizing their ability to parse the information that they skim from your life.
	Yeah, it's GovCorp, so they're really privatizing control.
	It's no longer in the government, which, you know, outside of the classified kind of black ops types of Government operations.
	Things are actually fairly transparent under the government, right?
	You can go and look up what they're doing.
	Theoretically, you should be able to address your grievances as well.
	That's at least how it's structured.
	I'm not saying it's always how it functions, but it is how it's structured.
	A private company does not have to disclose anything.
	So that's really what they're doing.
	They're taking it all out of the government and trying to put it into Silicon Valley, where they will have the control, and into these mega corporations.
	So I think something for people to consider is what happened in 2020, where if you went into your mom-and-pop shop, oftentimes if you...
	they might be aligned with your views, they may not, but they would make a decision and sometimes you would have some leeway there.
	But if you went into a big box store, And that's actually, we have these B Corps.
	Which, you know, Game B is very much a proponent of.
	There's already 6,000 B Corps, and some of them, they're big companies that you'll be very familiar with, things like Ben& Jerry's or Patagonia.
	Ben& Jerry's famously said that they are not an ice cream company.
	They're an activism organization.
	They happen to sell ice cream.
	But, of course, they have to be an activism organization.
	So that they can meet their ESG adapters so that they can get high scores on their B Corp rating.
	So that's the problem, is that it's going to be incentivized for these big corporations who are tied in with the central banks, the IMF, and these NGOs like the World Economic Forum, the UN.
	Yes, it's amazing how we've seen it trickle down.
	Ben& Jerry's is an absurd example of how they implement.
	Every single one of these companies has been brought on board with implementing these ideas in every single aspect of your life and pushing them on you.
	The gaming industry is a tremendous example of that.
	I know most of our audience probably doesn't play video games, but still, the gaming industry is overrun by people that are obsessed with pushing the current ideology and implementing them into games and putting that in front of a younger and younger audience to push that on them and to make it the Make it their model for the world.
	Because when you get it in front of a person at a young age, before they're able to critically think, it embeds itself in there.
	It bypasses critical thinking since they didn't have it at the time.
	And it makes it very, very hard to dislodge.
	Because since they didn't reason themselves into that position, it's very hard to reason them out of it.
	And I have a comment here from one of our listeners.
	They want to know about the internet of bio-nano things.
	So the AI World Society talks about the nanobio things and they say how it will all be connected through the 6G technology.
	And, of course, the Internet of NanobioThings is operating through humans.
	It's being powered by humans.
	The University of Amherst, Massachusetts, disclosed their study on 6G technology and how it is powered through humans.
	I did a recent sub-stack.
	It was called the Pass to Mass Surveillance and Technological Singularity.
	And I outlined, and I'm sure I've left out some, but I do go through a lot of them.
	There's the Internet of Things, Internet of Bodies.
	Internet of nanobio things, right?
	is a nano, uh, technology.
	Uh, and, uh, just to, People like Charles Lieber were very instrumental in this type of research.
	And, you know, when you all know, Harari talks about how 2020 is the year when surveillance goes under the skin.
	I think he meant it.
	And we have Charles Lieber was working on injectable technology that would create self-assembling nanobot technology.
	And people often forget that he was partnered with Elon Musk on the Neuralink.
	He patented the Neurallace, which is that self-assembling mesh technology.
	I think it's very concerning.
	Unfortunately, we don't know as much about it as one would like because I think a lot of it is under classified documentation.
	That doesn't mean that it's not real.
	We have a lot of white papers that indicate there is a lot of research and development in this field.
	We also have Albert Barella of Pfizer who is talking about how you can have medication that you would take and it would have a sensor.
	I know if you needed to take your next dose and it could, you know, alert you to this.
	Apparently, Ambellify already uses this technology, which is a pretty common drug.
	So people can look that up.
	Don't take my word for it.
	But I did do some research and that is what I found.
	Then we have, of course, the Internet of Behaviors.
	and there's a white paper document on this and Internet of Behaviors is a little bit concerning because this is kind of the soft technology of bringing You know, of course, the Internet of Nanobio things could potentially, with the brain interface, be more of a hardware kind of control.
	The Internet of Everything, this is where they connect a network connecting people, processes, data, and things to entable...
	You have to understand what intelligent decision-making means.
	It means like automated, AI-driven.
	Internet of medical things, and of course, they were doing a lot of research on this in 2020 with the wireless body area networks in hospitals and whatnot.
	But this is even more overtly, things like pacemakers, typically the patient.
	Everyone is aware that there's an external interface and it's usually couched as being for your own good and in some cases it is.
	In some cases it really does help people and it's great that they can be alerted if something were to go awry.
	In other cases, we have to wonder if they can control, right?
	What did the technocrat magazine of 1937?
	They said that technocracy, the definition, is social engineering.
	They also said that the purpose of surveilling is to control.
	So we have to consider those cybernetic feedback loops and the role that they play.
	Then we also have the Internet of Industrial Things, which is a...
	I think this will play a huge role in robotics.
	And we have the Internet of Smart Cities.
	Now, the Internet of Smart Cities very much ties to this concept, you know, when I'm talking about the dark enlightenment versus Game B. We have a whole branch, and that's really what this article was about, was we have all these different types of smart cities.
	Of course, the AI world Society talks about how we'll have these C40 cities, which are all under the guise of saving the planet because we have a climate crisis that we have to address, you know.
	So this, of course, means we can't breathe because carbon dioxide is a menace to the society.
	Although anybody who took third grade science knows that it's literally the life molecule, but, you know.
	I digress.
	And the Club of Rome actually admitted it was propaganda.
	I have this quote in my book.
	They admitted that it was propaganda because their Limits to Growth document, this is where they say that humans are the enemy of humanity because we were polluting the environment.
	In their Global Revolution document in 1992, they say that they had to get a common enemy for man to rally behind.
	And so, of course, they decided that who is the enemy of humanity?
	It's man himself, of course, because we are the polluter.
	They pretty much admitted that they lied so that they could get us on board with this agenda.
	But the Internet of Smart Cities, the C40 Cities, of course, the 15-minute cities, a lot of people are familiar with those.
	There's a couched inconvenience.
	You'll have everything within 15 minutes, and you can walk to, you know.
	And there's some merit to that.
	But, of course, the part they leave out is all the technology that interconnects and makes everything interoperable.
	But then we have, like, Freedom Cities, which, you know, sound wonderful.
	Who doesn't want a Freedom City?
	I want to live in Freedom City until you realize it's just another They love naming it the exact opposite of what it actually is.
	You know, they gave us this, the Patriot Act.
	Oh, it sounds wonderful.
	I'm a patriot.
	I love my country.
	And then you actually look at the Patriot Act as like, oh, this is the most unpatriotic thing that's ever been put into Congress.
	You know, it's like, oh, of course.
	They love doing that.
	It's just this easy, easy slap on the head.
	Yes.
	Double speak.
	It's literally Orwellian.
	Yeah, so we have the Freedom Cities and that is very much more of a dark enlightenment kind of thing.
	Because it's all about the deregulations.
	So this is very appealing.
	It's like what Prospera is, essentially.
	It's very appealing to these tech oligarchs who want everything deregulated so they can make their rules.
	And it's very conducive to their initiatives.
	And then you have, in game B, Something called the Sivium Project, which also sounds great.
	It's very utopian, in my opinion.
	But unfortunately, utopia means nowhere and usually results in dystopia when implemented.
	But it's this idea that we move out of the cities.
	And they very much glorify the indigenous populations.
	And they forget that it was kind of barbaric.
	And that it actually was quite competitive.
	Because Game B is supposed to be non-rivalrous.
	Unlike Game A. I call it the Age of Aquarius of technology.
	They want us to move into the...
	And they say game A is just too exploitive and extractive.
	But they're going to take the technology and extract that from game A into game B. And so in these Sivium projects, they move out of the city.
	And it is a glorifying, more backward kind of a lifestyle, communal again.
	However, you have the technology from game A that connects everything.
	So you're in a network state, although you may be living more in connection with the land and with people, which sounds like the best of both worlds, except that And even if it's AI controlling it, how much freedom does that really afford you?
	So that would be the Internet of Smart Cities.
	And of course, at the AI World Society, they talk about how Ukraine is going to be the central node for all of these various smart cities.
	and they've done several symposiums talking about how we have to rebuild ukraine because it's a central hub for all of this so that's why we have to give them so much money and uh you know build them back because they've been So you can go look on their website.
	They have all these symposiums.
	You can watch that for yourself at AIWorldSociety.net or the Boston Global Forum has a bunch of videos on it as well.
	And then there's the Internet of Wearable Things.
	This I'm sure a lot of people are familiar with already.
	Very much marketed to the health fitness crowd, you know, with the smart watches and the, you know, the rings.
	You know, all of the heart rate kind of tracking.
	HeartMath, which was actually one of Barbara Marks Hubbard's projects that was large funding from the Rockefeller Foundation.
	And, you know, some of it's great, like helps you with meditation.
	And, you know, that part's pretty innocuous.
	But they talk about creating global coherence through heart resonance.
	And now they're talking about heart-brain coherence.
	So that's got its own connotation there, which sounds to me like they're trying to use technology to foment this global consciousness, noosphere concept.
	And then we have the Internet of Robotic Things, which I think will be much more pervasive in the next coming years.
	I'm sure I've left other things out, but yeah, I don't know if that answers their question.
	That was fantastic.
	You know, tens, hundreds, thousands of different ways they are working to advance this agenda all at once with numerous little people in different organizations all over the place.
	And as you were saying, they're talking about this as a, oh, this is going to be a non-competitive world order.
	We're all going to be very peaceful.
	We're all going to just, you know, be laissez-faire about everything.
	Anytime anyone starts selling you a sort of utopian worldview, I begin to question it because it seems they themselves don't understand human nature or hoping you don't understand human nature.
	And that we are inherently, you know, we prioritize ourselves and our family first, as a general rule.
	We are selfish by nature.
	We tend to always go after our needs first.
	And if someone else gets in the way of that, we see them as the enemy, the other.
	And we will do what we can to get what we need.
	and if that impacts someone else negatively, that's a secondary concern.
	that tell you that we can get past that.
	Again, they just don't understand human nature.
	As a Christian myself, I believe that is part of our, you know, it's built into us.
	It is down deep.
	You cannot get past that.
	That is just part of who we are.
	And these, all these-Survival.
	All original sin.
	All these utopian ideals look past that and pretend that it is just something we can, you know, therapize away or however you want to get rid of it.
	They imagine there's a way that we can make ourselves all just these good little care bears and we're going to live in this utopia where we all routinely, you know, everyone looks out for each other all the time and they never have their own self-interest first, which just does not exist.
	It does not happen.
	And so it's always scary to me.
	I couldn't agree more.
	And if you think about the UN, their exoteric veneer is all about peacemaking.
	But if you really scratch beneath the surface as to why, there was a great video.
	It was posted about 10 years ago.
	It might be older than that, but it's still on YouTube with Robert Mueller, who was the Secretary General for the UN for four decades.
	He's the one who created the World Core Curriculum for Education that has become Common Core or Charlotte.
	Elizabeth loves to call it communist core in the United States.
	And this was predicated on the works of Alice Bailey and her book, Education in the New Age.
	But he talks about how we have to have peace.
	And when you really listen to what he's saying, this is why you can't have free will.
	I mean, he didn't say the free will explicitly, but this is what he's talking about.
	This is why we have to have the consensus.
	This is why we have to have the no-sphere and collective intelligence.
	Because if we have free will, your version of utopia, even though utopia means nowhere and usually results in dystopia when entrapped.
	Attempted to be implemented.
	But let's just say your fantasy, your version of utopia might look radically different from mine.
	It doesn't make you a better or worse person, but we're different.
	We have different ideas.
	We have different brain chemistry.
	We have different makeup.
	We have different circumstances.
	You know, all these different variables that make us the, you know, beautiful uniqueness of each human being.
	But our utopias could be radically different, and therefore they are intrinsically in competition.
	And this is why we have competition.
	This is why we don't always agree.
	And sometimes those disagreements manifest in grave tensions.
	And so the umbrella of peace, while it sounds beautiful and who doesn't want a peaceful world, in order to create that and to achieve that, And when they talk about, you know, how this will liberate us and create freedom, I think this is really very much, at the core of it, it's a spiritual dichotomy.
	Because you have free will, as I believe was endowed by our Creator, this beautiful gift, and it's not an end.
	It's a vehicle.
	It's a vehicle to pursue virtue and morality.
	So we have the choice, but it's not an end.
	And the way I think a lot of these occultist, esoteric types of groups that may be couched in more, quote-unquote, rational philosophy, see it.
	They talk about it's really a collective end.
	So think about things like, you know, Aleister Crowley's Thelema, where he talks about do without wilt.
	This radical freedom to do what thou wilt, or Nietzschean will to power, or Hegel, who talks about the spirit of the Geist, right, the world spirit, and how this is progressing towards the rational absolute.
	This is so that we can have the state, which is equivalent to God in his view.
	But he says humans can achieve no freedom at all without complete subservience to the state, which is God.
	So there's just a couple of examples.
	I see this theme constantly, and it's very misleading, because people like Teilhard de Chardin talk about freedom.
	Barbara Marks Hubbard talks about radical freedom, but they don't mean the same thing as free will.
	And so I think that's, you know, but it's all, but under, you know, whether it's the UN or whoever it is that's trying to put it under the banner of peace, I think we need to really understand what are the implications of that.
	It sounds great.
	Yeah, that is a very good point.
	Again, it could be a Pax Romana sort of ordeal, where they come in and they make peace by wiping out everyone that's making trouble in their eyes.
	And that seems to be the way these globalists always operate.
	If you're going to cause them problems, they want you out of the way.
	Well, Courtney, we've just got a few minutes left.
	I have thoroughly enjoyed our conversation.
	You have given us so much to think about.
	I encourage everyone to go check out your website CourtneyTurner.com and of course you're on Substack.
	Is that also under Courtney Turner?
	Yes.
	Fantastic.
	Courtney Turner.
	So it's Courtney Substack, but spelled like Courtney.
	Yes.
	It is Courtney.
	It's spelled Courtney.
	C-O-U-R-T-E-N-A-Y.
	Courtney Turner.
	In these last few minutes, I would just like to ask you if there's anything else you want to get out there and tell people, again, where they can find you, CourtneyTurner.com.
	Courtney Turner on Substack.
	Is there anywhere else people should look for you?
	I know you've got a podcast, the Courtney Turner Podcast.
	What else should they be looking forward to from you?
	I know you said you have a book coming out.
	I do.
	So I actually just released, it's on my Substack, so for my pay subscribers, it'll be there.
	They always get the early access and they get it ad-free.
	So that's just a little treat for them.
	But I just did a symposium.
	It's part of my Cognitive Liberty series with Patrick Wood and Ian Davis and David Hughes on technocracy and resisting technocracy, hopefully, so we can preserve the free will of humanity.
	So that is up on my Substack.
	It will be available for free on all of my other platforms.
	Rumble is the big video platform, but I'm on all the audio ones as well.
	I do post on YouTube, but it's really just a preview because I'm on my fifth channel.
	They don't love me that much, unfortunately.
	We're not the best of friends.
	So I just put a preview on there that goes straight from my sub stack.
	And so it is already up on there.
	So I encourage people to check that out because it's fantastic.
	They are brilliant minds, really doing great work.
	My sub stack is a way that you can support the work I'm doing.
	And then, yes, I have a book.
	I'm hoping it will be launched this summer.
	I will most likely be self-publishing it, but it is on Hegelian dialectics.
	I call it a Gnostic Jacob's Ladder and a Machinery of Control.
	I go through the ancient mystery religions and how they paved the way for Hegel's dialectic and talk about why it is relevant today because I think typically people are caught in these dialectical traps.
	I say the wizard circle, which is not my term.
	I mean, they use that term.
	And I think it's really, they are, they kind of cast these spells through words and through language.
	But what people need to understand is, if you read the works of people like Alice Bailey, they explicitly say that, that they have one exoteric message for the masses.
	And then what they're really doing is initiating people into their esoteric vernacular.
	And, you know, so it's for people to understand that they do speak in this Esopien type of language and that if we can recognize the games that we're playing, then hopefully the spell will be broken and we can step outside the wizard circle and preserve the free will of humanity is the hope that we can.
	Because they seem very bent on eradicating that.
	So yeah, my substack, Courtney Turner substack, and my website are great ways that you can find me, and I'm usually accessible on all the social media platforms, and I'm Well, thank you so much, Courtney.
	I really appreciate you talking with me today.
	And again, the information was fantastic.
	I thoroughly enjoyed getting the download from it.
	And so we are going to take a quick break and we will be right back, folks.
	ORCHESTRA PLAYS
	ORCHESTRA PLAYS In a world of deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.
	You're listening to The David Knight Show.
	Welcome back folks.
	The screen split is still up.
	But thank you so much for joining us today.
	It has been a pleasure to host the show for y 'all.
	I see we have a tip.
	Twilight Shadow, thank you so much.
	That is very, very generous.
	Travis, we love y 'all.
	Hope Pops is doing well.
	He is doing better.
	So thank you so much for your prayers.
	We cannot thank you enough for that.
	TunnelLord1337, TunnelLordLeet.
	Hey, Travis, do you plan on having the gaming stream later this evening?
	I don't think I'm able to do it this week.
	We still haven't fully gotten anything worked out.
	It's just been kind of in the ether that we've been discussing.
	It is something I want to look into, not necessarily just gaming, but maybe just sort of a more casual hangout discussion of whatever is on my mind at the time.
	So not as focused on the news, maybe about movies or TV or just ranting about things that have happened.
	But yeah, doing some gaming would be fun.
	So if you guys have any strong feelings on that, I'll pull you guys again on Monday and we'll get some more ideas.
	But that is what I'm thinking.
	Just a chilled, hangout sort of stream.
	But I want to make sure that it is something that I could still provide you guys with some insights on things with.
	Or at least you guys could have fun with.
	As we close the show out today, we've got a minute left.
	I again just want to thank you all so much for all the prayers and ask that you continue to pray for our dad.
	He still needs them.
	Oh, we have a comment from Knights of the Storm.
	At Whistler, are you the one who puts together the videos for the commercials?
	Yes, he does.
	He does all of those sorts of videos.
	So he's done a great job with them.
	But again, thank you all so much for what you have done this week with your prayers and with the support.
	It has been truly amazing to see the outpouring of love.
	So thank you all so much for joining us this week.
	I will see you all Monday.
	Have a good weekend.
	Wait a minute.
	Where am I?
	Sorry, Jefferson.
	The scoundrels who put America on central bank fiat currency used our heads on their coins as some sort of trophy.
	Despicable.
	This is outrageous.
	Washington!
	I spent my life fighting centralized power.
	Now the Federal Reserve monopoly parades us around on their monopoly money.
	Tell me there's some good news to all this.
	Well, there is a coin they can't control.
	One that isn't backed by the Fed, but backed by the FedUp.
	The all-new David Knight Show commemorative coin.
	Now patriots can support a show that won't sell out, with a limited edition coin that's sure to sell out quickly.
	They say money talks, and this coin has something worth listening to.
