	In a world of deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.
	It's the David Knight Show.
	As the clock strikes 13, it is Tuesday, the 5th of August, 2025, and Australia is banning machetes.
	But they're not doing anything to actually address the underlying issue.
	Migrant violence.
	They're destroying their country through uncontrolled immigration.
	And Donald Trump is going full strange love as he says he's preparing for war, nuclear war, with Russia.
	Then in the third hour, we're going to be joined by our guest, Paul List, who's written a book called Mount Doom about the dangers of AI.
	Stay with us.
	Good morning and welcome to the show.
	Hope you're all doing well.
	As I said, we're going to look at Australia banning machetes.
	Australians ordered to surrender machetes or go to prison.
	This is from RT World News.
	Because those Australians, you know, they've been known for their machete crimes for so many years now, they've finally gotten fed up with it.
	Government decided enough is enough.
	These Australians, they can't be trusted with machetes, so it's time to get rid of them.
	The state of Victoria has rolled out machete disposal bins ahead of a ban on the tools amid rising violent crime.
	Australians have been ordered to surrender their machetes or face up to two years in prison, fines exceeding $30,000 under a new weapons ban in Victoria.
	That's right.
	It's the Australians that are the problem.
	They just can't be trusted.
	They're so prone.
	So prone to machete violence.
	Victoria's announced a complete ban on possession, sale, and use of machetes set to come into effect on September 1st.
	Residents have been given a three-month amnesty period to comply with the officials' warning that after November 30th, having a machete without an exemption would be a criminal offense.
	That's right.
	If you have a machete without an exemption, you're going to prison, bud.
	You need the government to allow you to have something to clear brush.
	On the 1st of September, when the ban on machetes takes place, we are rolling out through Victoria Police at 24-7 police stations the safe disposal bins.
	These will be at locations right across the state.
	They'll be locations where people can come and lawfully dispose of any machete that they may already have at one of these bins safely and securely.
	And we've done this because we want to get these knives off the streets because these knives destroy lives.
	These knives destroy lives.
	What a catchy little soundbite, isn't it?
	It's so ridiculous.
	This tweet says Australia is being run by complete morons.
	Now, remember the movie Crocodile Dundee?
	It wasn't that long ago that he was celebrated for carrying a large knife.
	Remember that.
	You got a light, buddy?
	Yeah, sure, kid.
	There you go.
	And your wallet.
	Nick, give him your wallet.
	Report.
	He's got a knife.
	That's not a knife.
	Dramatic music
	That's a knife.
	Shit!
	That's right.
	That's not a knife.
	That's a knife.
	How far have our countries fallen?
	Crocodile Dundee making fun of the fact the guy's got a little stiletto and he pulls out a big old bowie knife.
	New restrictions follow a rise in what officials have described as gang-related youth crime.
	Probably not native Australian youth, huh?
	Probably it's the migrants.
	Because we see that everywhere.
	Every single day, there is a new video of migrants being violent.
	It seems like if you're on social media, there's always someone posting something, whether it's from Italy or France or England or Australia.
	Migrants attacking locals or threatening them in some way.
	The countries of Europe and places, countries like Australia, are collapsing in on themselves.
	They are prioritizing these foreigners and will do anything they can to abuse their own citizenry and give extra privileges to these migrants.
	According to government figures, assaults with edged weapons at shopping centers have risen by 161% since 2014.
	I wonder why that is.
	I wonder why the Australians suddenly became so much more violent.
	I wonder why they became so animalistic and cruel.
	Must have been a lot of new machetes on the streets.
	Yeah.
	Maybe they started importing machetes.
	Maybe they didn't have machetes until 2014.
	And once they got a hold of them, they just couldn't control themselves.
	People really need guns.
	I know HARPS has talked about that the weapons bans are not as severe as they make it out to be, that a lot of people in Australia do own guns still.
	And I'm glad to hear that because they need it.
	Youths aged 10 to 17 are said to make up 13% of offenders overall.
	The youths.
	Accounting for 63% of robberies, 46% of aggravated burglaries, and more than a quarter of all car thefts.
	Youths.
	These migrants or perhaps now even children of migrants.
	Since if it's 10 to 17 and they started arriving in 2014, that means there's now at least some youths that were born there.
	Could be 10 to 11 years old.
	New policy has drawn mockery and criticism from some residents who have questioned the effectiveness of machete drop boxes.
	Again, this is another meaningless gesture.
	Even if the machetes were the problem, you're not going to get them off the street by saying, here's a drop box, please drop off your edged weapon.
	The government is avoiding the underlying causes of crime spike, pointed to growing concerns over migration and activity armed by African youth gangs in Melbourne.
	It isn't.
	Surprise, surprise, it isn't the Australians.
	The Australians are not the ones that are engaging in this, at least not to any serious amount.
	Again.
	The drop boxes I find amusing.
	It's, you know, the people that are going to do violent machete attacks are going to first, you know, deposit their knife safely in the knife drop boxes.
	Yeah.
	I'm sure that this will make you go, oh no.
	You mean we're not supposed to attack people with machetes?
	Oh, I didn't know that.
	It's this continual insanity.
	There's no one on the planet that doesn't understand that attacking someone with machete is wrong on some level.
	If you have to be specifically told not to mutilate someone with a machete, chances are you're not the type of person that respects law.
	Respects other people's right to be left alone.
	There are certain people that are just broken and cannot be reasoned with, and as such, you throw them in prison.
	Pesavante 1776 has the face of a tyrant about that woman.
	I guess she's a police chief or something.
	I don't know what she is.
	Some politician of some sort from Australia.
	But yeah, you can tell.
	JBull 2415, where has David Knight been?
	He is still recovering.
	He's going to be doing an interview tomorrow.
	We'll be recording it tomorrow and we'll play it on Thursday.
	So you'll have new David Knight on Thursday, and we're working on getting things figured out so he can come back to the studio.
	So he will be back soon, but please keep him in your prayers, of course.
	We're currently working on getting a new desk and planning how we're going to rearrange the studio, which we'll probably do over the weekend to make it fit for two people.
	Yeah.
	It's a.
	There are so many wires and cables in here.
	It is a rat's nest.
	So adjusting things is a gigantic hassle.
	Denver Attaway, our machete somehow unbeknownst to all the Achilles heel of the techno-fascist agenda.
	Perhaps, you know, nothing like a good machete.
	Quite useful for getting rid of brush.
	Knights of the storm.
	Interesting how the larger police state grows, the higher the crime rate.
	There is a pattern here.
	Yeah, funny how that happens.
	It's funny that despite the fact they have so many more resources, they don't seem to put them to any kind of use to actually protect the citizenry.
	Now, from the United Kingdom, the UKPM bans the Prime Minister, bans ninja swords in response to a rise in knife attacks and mounting public pressure.
	And the ninja swords is in quotes.
	I'm assuming he didn't know the word katana.
	And again.
	Is it really ninjas that are the crime problem in Britain?
	It might depend on how you're using that word.
	And again, they're failing to address the root cause.
	Immigration.
	Ninja swords are now banned in England and Wales.
	Possessing one in public could lead to a prison sentence of up to four years.
	That's right.
	Well, maybe what we need to do is arm the British populace with some, you know, classic broadswords and long swords, and they can just have it out with the people who have the katanas.
	Those are better than katamas anyway.
	The forging techniques for the English longswords and broadswords was superior and they had superior steel to make them with steel and iron.
	As such, the whole katanas were just inferior.
	The whole, oh man, 10,000 folds, however many folds you want to give it, the broadsword, longsword, just better.
	It is a more efficient weapon.
	The band follows a series of fatal knife attacks that have shocked the nation in 2024.
	70-year-old Axel Rudakubana killed three girls and injured 10 others at a Taylor Swift themed children's recital in Southport.
	Of course, it was the knife that told him to do it, right?
	No, it was the 17-year-old Rudakubana that was the problem here.
	He was the one that did the stabbing.
	Your knife didn't possess him and order him to do it.
	He attacked.
	I think I remember that from Naruto.
	The attack reignited public anger and led ministers to promise tougher rules on online weapon sales, stronger age checks and bans on certain bladed items such as zombie knives and machetes.
	That's right.
	The zombie knives.
	The zombie knife epidemic.
	This is a problem with immigration.
	It's a problem with the people they're bringing in.
	They're not compatible with their society.
	They will continue to behave this way because it's part of their culture.
	It's part of who they are.
	You could import a small number of them and probably be okay.
	You wouldn't necessarily be ideal, but eventually they would be diluted through the population.
	When it reaches this kind of critical mass, though, it becomes a major problem.
	Kanda, who killed in 2022 with a ninja sword, the Association of Police and Crime Commissioners, APCC, said the ban will help reduce the presence of these weapons, especially in gang-related violence.
	No, it won't.
	Only an idiot believes that.
	These people don't believe it themselves.
	Prohibition never works.
	You're not going to get the criminals to turn over their ninja swords.
	They're not going to do it.
	It's amazing to me that this is still a talking point.
	That people still believe this.
	Well, if you just outlaw it, they'll go away.
	The fact that people are still so incredibly stupid as to follow, not be able to understand the flaws in that line of reasoning is baffling.
	Murder is, you know, Prosecute them for that.
	Prosecute them for the other crimes.
	Maybe even prosecute them for illegally emigrating to England and living off the taxpayers' money.
	And then just start throwing them out.
	Start throwing them back to wherever they came from.
	Make them their own country's problem again.
	Possessing a ninja sword at home carries a penalty of up to six months in prison.
	That could rise to two years under a new crime and policing bill.
	So if you've got a ninja sword in your home, you can go to prison for six months.
	Being a weaboo in England must be a horror.
	How can you truly embrace the Japanese culture if you're not allowed to buy a mall ninja sword?
	It's a tragedy.
	Knife crime in England and Wales has increased 87% over the past decade.
	Huh?
	Again, I wonder why.
	What could it be?
	What could be the common factor here?
	Where over the past 10 years, all these countries seem to be having a massive spike in violent crime.
	I wonder, could it be the African and Muslim migrants, the massive influx of people from incompatible cultures that are more prone to violence, that come from more violent countries, more backwards countries with just no respect for anyone else?
	In the last year alone, almost 55,000 knife-related incidents reported a 2% rise from 2023.
	They just can't seem to figure out why.
	It's a mystery.
	This is from WorldNet Daily.
	It's a video, but the article coming with it is good.
	Watch Grant Stinchfield on Texas takeover, 330 mosques, 450k Muslims, and growing political power.
	So if you thought this was only happening in the UK or Australia, you're mistaken.
	It's happening right here in the United States.
	Of course, most people think, oh, it's happening in Minnesota.
	That's terrible for Minnesota, but at least it's relegated to there.
	It's not happening anywhere else.
	Well, it is.
	We've talked with Mark Hall, my dad has, many times, about Fatalagu Lin, the charter schools that are being set up as a way to bring in and get funding from the governments to push Islam.
	This is creeping up on us like ninjas.
	Those gosh darn ninjas.
	Tunnel Lord 1337, what's stopping criminals from taking an angle grinder and liberating those machetes from those drop boxes?
	That's right, they'll have a nice supply of machetes they can go and harvest after a little bit.
	Pezavante, well, you're also perhaps giving these people a bit too much credit for their forward-thinking ability.
	Pezavante 1776, guns are inanimate objects, as are machetes.
	Hammers, lead pipes, baseball batch, pitchforks, etc.
	The tool isn't the problem.
	That's right.
	It's the person that is holding and using the tool.
	Nights of the Storm, but I thought guns were the problem.
	The line always moves.
	Yeah, soon, you know, it's ridiculous.
	In England, the number of things they will arrest you for carrying is ludicrous.
	You can't have anything that could even be vaguely interpreted as a weapon.
	Tunnel Lord 1337, nothing like depriving people of their rights because they're a minority of the population.
	How unjust.
	Yeah, well, you know, some other people are doing some bad stuff with this thing.
	And I know that you're a responsible individual, but sadly, we're going to have to take it.
	10 of Lorton 337.
	No number of responsible citizens destroying their own knives is going to stop the immigrant or whoever with a machete that's going to commit a crime with it.
	Yeah.
	Tunnel Lord, what's England's definition for Ninja Sword?
	Yeah, therein lies the question.
	Probably anything that looks vaguely Asian.
	Anything with a single edge, with a sort of rounded tip.
	Anything vaguely tanto.
	DJ Hayona, Swiss Army knives are next.
	Yeah.
	Well, I mean, those gosh darn Swiss, they gave us the cuckoo clock, and their crimes have yet to be answered for.
	Texas is becoming ground zero for a cultural takeover, and no one in power is stopping it.
	Grant Stinfield exposes how 450,000 Muslims over 330 mosques and an entire Sharia-compliant neighborhoods are reshaping the state right under Governor Abbott's nose.
	HOA fees funding mosques, Islamic courts operating in the shadows, and public schools bending to pressure.
	Well, of course, I mean, how could you not bend to the pressure when you've set up your entire ideology around white people are bad and anyone that isn't white is wonderful?
	No matter what their ideology is, you've backed yourself into a corner.
	You've made it so that if they come in and demand something, if you don't give it, you're racist.
	And that's that's just the first level.
	That's not counting into the fact that they may actually understand these people will become violent if they don't get their way.
	If you think this is just Dearborn or Minneapolis, think again.
	What happens in Texas won't stay in Texas.
	This is going to spiral out across the United States.
	These people are coming here.
	This is not an accident.
	This isn't just them showing up as a way to escape problems in their country.
	This is a targeted invasion.
	They are using their numbers to create enclaves where they make the rules and it will spread from there.
	Little Ford Schoolhouse, that's why we keep our guns locked up so they can't go out and do things to people.
	That's very smart.
	You don't want them getting all liquored up on a Friday night and stumbling out the door.
	They might go harm somebody.
	Selling us rope.
	Palantir is raking in billions from Washington.
	We're going to move on from what's going on.
	The immigration and migration crisis that is happening all over the world.
	It is, well, every Western nation.
	There's not a big problem with migration to some place like Algeria, I would bet.
	I don't think that's someplace that people are too eager to get into.
	Both co-founders of Palantir, Alex Scarf, and Peter Thiel, are on the steering committee of the Bilderberg Group.
	This is by Patrick Wood.
	Software and data analytics company has garnered at least $300 million in new and expanded business since Trump took office for his second term, helping to make it the SP's top performing stock of 2025.
	Trump, of course, is big into AI.
	He surrounded himself by these technocrats who love it, who want to push it in every single aspect, want to integrate it into every facet of our lives, and especially into the government.
	Companies potentially set to earn an order of magnitude more in federal funds.
	May Pentagon leaders allocated up to $795 million more for the military's core artificial intelligence software program.
	The Palantir-built MAVEN Smart System to expand its deployment to all U.S. forces around the world.
	Of course, as Don't Frag Me Bro is good about pointing out, in Gaza, they are continually using artificial intelligence to identify targets, utilizing it there.
	They're continually using new technologies.
	They're finding ways to fight wars as an excuse to test out their new toys.
	Government work was always Coret Palantir's identity investor Peter Thiel along with CEO Alex Karp co-founded the company with an explicitly patriotic mission in the wake of 9-11.
	Yes, of course, an explicitly patriotic mission.
	The Carp is a progressive who has largely supported Democrats.
	Palantir's striking success over the last six months is a case study in how a changing ethos in Washington toward cutting costs, embracing AI, and empowering the private sector is benefiting a particular company.
	Of course, it wasn't just Alex Karp, who's mostly supporting Democrats, it's Donald Trump himself.
	He spent all his time supporting Democrats right up until he decided he was a Republican.
	An AI transformation at the Pentagon.
	Nowhere has Palantir's reach into the government been more extensive than at the Pentagon, which, if you have any common sense, is extremely troubling.
	You don't necessarily want these AIs that are prone to hallucinations and prone to making mistakes integrated into Pentagon, into the Pentagon at all.
	Palantir's work building data management systems for the military began in 2011 under President Barack Obama when its software was deployed in Afghanistan.
	How'd that work out for us so far?
	How did that work out for those in Afghanistan?
	I don't imagine it ended up well for anyone involved.
	In fact, we can see it didn't.
	The new administration, by contrast, is turbocharging the use of AI across the military at a moment when the U.S. faces a growing number of global threats.
	The stark contrast between the administrations doesn't indicate any wildness or disregard for safety.
	One of the people said, What it does show is their willingness to experiment and move faster, just like Trump was willing to experiment with the mRNA jabs, the bioweapon shots.
	Warp speed.
	Warp speed.
	No one gave it to you faster.
	We're going to get AI quicker than anybody.
	Little Ford Schoolhouse.
	Already read that one.
	Alien poop evolution.
	Thinking is a weapon they want to ban.
	I imagine all else is fair game as well.
	Yeah.
	Can't have you thinking.
	Can't have you considering things for yourself.
	Knights of the Storm.
	Let's ban gyms.
	Of course.
	Banning thought crimes are what we're seeing with all these internet censorship bills currently being pushed through.
	Yeah.
	Can't have you thinking for yourself.
	Let's ban gyms because you might get too strong and use your fists.
	That's probably coming next.
	Can't have you being fit enough to defend yourself.
	I mean, you joke, but there have been quite a few regimes throughout history that have banned learning martial arts.
	Palantir's chief tech officer becomes a billionaire as PLTR stock hits.
	Palantir Technologies Inc.'s unstoppable rally the past year has yielded more than six-fold gains for investors and created monumental wealth for its founders and early employees.
	Of course we see that Satan pays very well.
	Sankar 43 is the first non-founding Palantir employee to reach billionaire status, although his fortune is dwarfed by those of Chief Executive Officer Alex Karp, which is $13.9 billion.
	And President Stephen Cohen, $5.6 billion.
	Only a meager $5.6 billion.
	Peter Thiel, who serves as chairman, has a $23.4 billion net worth, although only about 60% of that is in Palantir equity.
	Well, poor guy.
	All these tech sector guys are becoming massively wealthy.
	They are doing anything and everything they can to make sure that we will be crushed and repressed and our rights will be trampled on.
	And they are being massively rewarded for it.
	They are going to be the new upper class.
	Christy Noam says Alligator Alcatraz to be model for ICE state-run detention centers.
	We've seen how terrible the detention centers are that our government already has, especially things like the Communication Management Unit, where they put Marty Gottisfeld for being a political dissident, for actually caring and using his skills for what he believed, for what I believe was the right purpose.
	This is how they're willing to treat American citizens already under the Vegas pretext and giving them more horrific places to detain us is a bad idea.
	Again, if you're here illegally, if you've committed crimes, if you're a member of a cartel or a gang or something like that, yeah, I think these are fine.
	I have no problem with them being put into these kinds of conditions.
	They're obviously despicable criminals.
	It is the fact that these are going to be used on American citizens that worries me.
	These.
	I'm not excited for my trip to Alligator Alcatraz.
	I hope it doesn't end up happening.
	And we have seen them already going after people with valid visas here legally, trying to go through the process normally.
	Homeland Security Secretary Chrissy Noam says Alligator Alcatraz will serve as a model for state-run migrant detention centers.
	Potential sites are already under construction in Arizona, Nebraska, and Louisiana.
	This is, again, a created issue.
	They have allowed the immigration issue to become this massive problem that it is today.
	This is a problem reaction solution.
	Now, that doesn't mean it's not an actual problem.
	It is a serious issue that needs to be addressed.
	It is simply the fact that they are going to now utilize this problem as a way to get what they want.
	Uncontrolled illegal immigration is a massive detriment, and it does need to be fixed.
	These people do need to go.
	You cannot hold on to the culture of your country if you allow this kind of unlimited immigration from countries across the globe that do not share your value system.
	It just is utterly impossible.
	Denver Attaway, Palantir lost money for 17 years.
	Does any legit business with organic demand lose money for 17 years?
	No, there is no organic demand for Palantir.
	Government had to shift the world to create its market.
	They knew what was coming.
	Palantir was about setting the stage for when they had the technology to keep up with what they wanted to do.
	Like those data centers where they were just cataloging everything.
	They couldn't feasibly use them.
	There was too much data.
	They couldn't sort through it or parse it or really do anything with it, but they knew the day was coming when they would be able to.
	They plan ahead.
	Nights of the Storm.
	Many of these corporations that have dominated their respective spaces lost money for a decade.
	Yeah, they're able to get continual cash injections through Wall Street and government contracts.
	They don't have to turn a profit just so long as they're producing something the government wants.
	They're more than willing to finance it.
	KWA.
	It's easy to get into a position where you're dominating a certain field when you can lose money for a decade, just bleeding money to establish yourself as the go-to, like YouTube has done.
	Yeah.
	YouTube, as far as I'm aware, may still be losing money, but because it's backed by Google, no one can really compete with them.
	KWD 68, Trump administration has announced withholding of disaster Aid to states who don't bend the knee to Israel.
	Yeah, I saw that yesterday.
	They backed off of that a few hours later.
	I want to say between three and five hours later, they came out and said, Well, never mind.
	They removed the language from the bill.
	Because they got so much pushback.
	Yes.
	Because they got so much pushback.
	But the real kicker is the fact they thought they could get away with it.
	The fact that they tried to sneak that in there in the first place.
	That's the real problem.
	It's again, it was a direct admission of what's going on.
	They got a little bit too bold.
	They decided, you know what?
	Maybe we can just lay our cards on the table and show people what's really going on.
	And people immediately called them out and they said, oh, oops, no, we'll walk that back.
	We'll walk that back.
	We can still effectively do this.
	We just won't codify it into law.
	Which, again, we understand that our government is basically captured by AIPAC and Israel.
	They are the ones calling the shots.
	Jerry Alitalo, wars fought autonomously on Palantir AI-driven autopilot.
	Just what the world needs.
	That's right.
	We can have all these wonderful autonomous drones making their own individual calls.
	Never have to worry about it again.
	KWD68, Home Alone will be banned because it shows even a kid can defend their home for $20 in supplies, $250 today.
	Everyone must comply.
	That's right.
	I've always found it funny that you're not allowed to booby trap your own home.
	It's illegal.
	You'll get in trouble.
	Nights of the Storm.
	I don't fear Alligator Alcatraz.
	It's the Snapping Turtle one that scares me.
	The snapping.
	Trying to.
	Can't think of one at the moment.
	Maybe later.
	Snapping Turtle, something or other.
	I've always been a fan of all kinds of reptiles.
	I love turtles.
	They are such interesting animals.
	Denver Attaway, it's cool, man.
	Don't worry.
	Something like FEMA is just going to build a bunch of concentration camps across many states.
	That's right.
	They'll be able to set them up remarkably quickly.
	They'll just roll out some barbed wire.
	Drivers going one mile per hour below speed limit could face jail under a state's new law.
	New driving laws are being put in place in Louisiana affecting phone use, left-lane driving, window tinting, and insurance requirements.
	New set of driving laws has imposed stricter restrictions on drivers in Louisiana, including penalties for left-lane drivers traveling at one mile per hour under the speed limit.
	They're finally coming after left-lane bandits, folks.
	So if you're one of those people that likes to sit in the left lane and just cruise, apparently your days are numbered in Louisiana.
	State and floor speeding.
	They really need to just get rid of the speed limit and let everyone drive like it's the Autobahn.
	See, it sounds interesting, but also the Germans are a very precise and locked-in people.
	They make very good engineers.
	They pay very close attention to what they're doing.
	The Autobahn, you know, worked for them there.
	Now, perhaps this is just a sort of natural selection process that needs to happen.
	Perhaps the strong will survive.
	However, we would...
	Were we to remove speed limits?
	Starting August 1st, Louisiana drivers will see a number of new laws put into place affecting phone use, left-lane driving, window tinting, and insurance requirements.
	Drivers will no longer be permitted to hold or use a phone by hand while driving, including texting, social media, and manually scrolling maps.
	Unless the device is completely hands-free.
	How many people are out there on social media as they're driving?
	Are you that fried that you need the constant?
	Just what do you need?
	Is it Twitter, Facebook, Instagram?
	Who is doing this?
	Who are these people?
	This means the threshold has been lowered from 10 miles per hour to just one mile per hour below the speed limit.
	So before, if you're going 10 under, it could be a problem.
	Now, if you're even going one mile under the speed limit, they can get you.
	The legal limit for window tinting on the front side windows will decrease from 40% to 25% light transmission, putting Louisiana on par with neighboring states like Texas and Arkansas.
	Herbert drivers must still meet proper inspection and decal requirements or face fines ranging from $150 to $350.
	Florida set to raise the stakes on driver education with the new driving law.
	Under the Florida law, teens age 15 or above must now complete a 50-hour driver's education/slash traffic safety classroom course approved by the Florida Department of Highway Safety Motor Vehicles.
	The courses they teach you on driving are a joke.
	It is completely worthless.
	Anything you want to learn about driving, you have to actually learn while driving as a general rule.
	And driving is fairly simple.
	As a general rule, again, just look where you're going, pay attention, and put your foot on the gas, and the car goes that direction.
	It's not an overly complex process.
	It is fairly self-explanatory, and anyone that thinks otherwise is probably just utterly incompetent.
	KWD 68 public schools are ready to be camps.
	All who accept federal funds, all of them, plenty of square footage.
	Maybe I will get my chance to attend a public school after all.
	Audi MRR, government constantly thinks of new ways to extort civilians for victimless crimes, and BS traffic laws are their main tactic.
	Government is predatory.
	Yes, government is.
	Nights of the Storm.
	They push for hands-free as they make the central control screen for your car a big touchscreen tablet.
	Yeah.
	The fact that Teslas basically have a giant iPad in the center console has always blown me away.
	You want to talk about a distraction?
	It's completely ridiculous.
	KWD 68, Kentucky State Police no longer patrols highways.
	It's all but stopped.
	We have the Autobond here.
	Nice.
	De facto Autobond.
	That's just what we need.
	Police need to get off the highways.
	That is.
	That is literally the main reason.
	The cars are so smooth nowadays.
	Doing a hundred does not feel scary at all.
	You can easily do 100 miles per hour and have it still feel incredibly smooth and safe.
	Only reason not to is because you know you're going to get slammed with a giant ticket.
	Guard Goldsmith at Nights of the Storm, so right, and soon we can be plugged in as part of the AI car.
	My new name will be Kit.
	You can get the Guard Goldsmith voice for your car, transfer his consciousness directly in there.
	That will be the future.
	Hot dog spill shuts down highway in Pennsylvania.
	Commuters, Verst Nightmare.
	Might be the worst accident of all time.
	The truckload of hot dogs spilled across a Pennsylvania interstate Friday after a crash that briefly clogged the heavily traveled artery in both directions.
	Haha.
	This writer's got jokes.
	Cruisers stuck with the job.
	They did not Relish rolling up these scattered tube stakes for disposal.
	Once those leave the truck and hit the road, that's all garbage and it's still pretty warm.
	Shrewsbury Fire Company Chief Brad Dauberman said.
	Once they hit the road, they're garbage.
	No, you can just brush them off.
	They're still good.
	You would have caught me out there on the shoulder just picking up hot dog after hot dog.
	Man, I'm not gonna have to buy food for weeks.
	When the truck scraped along a concrete divider, its trailer was ripped open and the contents scattered.
	Just a hot dog apocalypse.
	Four people required medical attention.
	Imagine being the person that shows up at the hospital and they have to explain what's going on.
	Like, he was involved in a hot dog-related accident.
	Four people required medical attention.
	Front end loader was used to scoop up the hot dogs and drop them into a dump truck.
	Doberman said emergency crews couldn't help but see the humor in the situation.
	His daughter texted him a photo of a hot dog-themed t-shirt.
	I can tell you personally, hot dogs are very slippery, the fire chief said.
	I did not know that.
	You know, I suppose at least it was an interesting day.
	And, you know, what more can you want than be able to tell a story about the time you had to spend your entire afternoon picking up thousands upon thousands of hot dogs?
	All that grease makes it very slippery.
	Baboon Massacre.
	German zoo feeds culled primates to the lions.
	Other zoos defended the unavoidable killings.
	Protesters have rallied against the move in Nuremberg.
	Oh no.
	Nuremberg.
	Which was intended to alleviate enclosure overcrowding.
	Animal rights campaigners claim the zoo had violated the Animal Welfare Act by culling the nine adult female and three adult male baboons without good reason.
	I'm not big on monkeys or apes.
	Small ones, okay.
	Anything in the baboon range?
	No.
	The zoo said that the cull in which the animals were anesthetized and then shot was agreed after consulting veterinary and environmental authorities as well as the European Association of Zoos and Aquaria.
	Look at the amount of bureaucracy and red tape these people have to go through to euthanize baboons.
	Just yeah, we spoke with the environmental authorities, European Association of Zoos and Aquarius.
	How many people do you think had to sign off on baboon euthanasia?
	How many bureaucrats are dedicated just to this topic?
	Are they kidding?
	We got some baboons.
	We got some hungry predators.
	This should be pretty simple.
	This seems like it would have just, you know, again, this makes sense to me.
	Our impression is that the baboon massacre is intended to set a precedent in order to make killing socially acceptable and extend it to other animal species.
	We must not allow this to happen.
	The animal rights group PETA said.
	I'm kind of weird that the zoo is cannibalizing itself, feeding some of its animals together.
	You know, sometimes we get a few too many baboons and the lions are hungry, so, you know.
	But also, it's really rich coming from PETA.
	PETA euthanizes the vast majority of the animals that they take in, the vast, vast majority of them.
	And to hear them talk about this, because chances are they would have euthanized the baboons themselves were you to hand them over to them.
	They wouldn't have rehabilitated them.
	They wouldn't have tried to get them back into the wild.
	They would have just gone, oh, you poor thing.
	Your captive life has made you incompatible with the wild, and as such, it's time to go.
	Dead or alive, Punk, you're coming with me.
	Alborg Zoo in Denmark has appealed to the public to donate unwanted domestic pets to help feed its predators.
	Chickens, rabbits, guinea pigs make up an important part of the diet of our predators, especially in the European lynx, which needs whole prey, which is reminiscent of what it would naturally hunt in the wild.
	That is.
	I will admit, that's a bit strange, just appealing to the public.
	Aw, do you have a dog you're not using?
	Perhaps a cat?
	Some chickens or guinea pigs, please.
	Especially because they want, you know, whole animals, like, hunted in the wild.
	Like, yeah, donate your pets so that our tiger can hunt it.
	Now, listen here, Timmy.
	I told you if you didn't take care of the guinea pig, we were going to feed it to the lions.
	I suppose it could be an object lesson for your child.
	You didn't take care of it, and now, Simba, it's the circle of life, buddy.
	to watch some sort of Roman gladiator match.
	Or what's going on?
	Because guinea pigs aren't that large.
	I don't imagine that one guinea pig is sustenance for a lion.
	If you have a healthy animal that has to leave here for that has to leave here for various reasons, feel free to donate it to us.
	The animals are gently euthanized by trained staff and are afterwards used as fodder.
	That has to leave here.
	That's a euphemism, I suppose.
	So far in 2025, 137 rabbits have been donated to the zoo.
	Many of the donated animals are old or injured.
	The zoo has also asked for donations of horses.
	This is what happens when you give a zoo a guinea pig.
	Eventually, they just start demanding horses of you.
	There are also many who lose interest in their pets, and then we can help people out of a dilemma.
	This is a very sort of Germanic people solution to things.
	You know, those sort of northern European countries where it's like, hmm, yes, you have a pet you do not want.
	I have a lion I must feed.
	It all makes sense to me, ya.
	Very calculated and cold.
	84% of Germans believe people afraid to speak their mind for fear of consequences.
	We're moving on from the animal story.
	It is uh and again, I maybe I shouldn't be laughing at it, but the whole premise seems very absurd to me.
	I love all animals.
	I am a big fan in general.
	It is just the whole the entirety of it becomes quite ridiculous.
	Nebrew2029, Wiener Roadkill, referencing the story about the hot dogs on the road.
	Being my Valentine, Peter has that highest kill rate at their shelters in the U.S. Yeah.
	They euthanize, I think it's close to 90% of the animals they take in.
	I could be wrong, but it's between 70 and 90.
	So it was high enough that I remember they had to be reclassified as a euthanasia center based on how much they killed and they had to, you know, lobby politicians to change the definition of that so that it were no longer euthanasia centers, but animal protection centers.
	Good old PETA.
	Solent Goy, do you have any politicians to donate to feed the lions and tigers?
	I think, given our supply of politicians, we could keep the lions and tigers in these zoos fed for years to come.
	I think that might solve all our issues all at once.
	84% of Germans believe people are afraid to speak their mind for fear of consequences.
	More than 8 in 10 Germans said they believe people are afraid To express their full opinions amid an increasingly censorious political climate in the country.
	Of course, we've seen that with what is the party?
	Is it the AFD?
	I can't remember.
	The more right-wing party in Germany.
	They're always trying to find ways to completely take them out of the running, to ban them.
	If you express slightly right-wing beliefs in Germany, they want to lock you up.
	They want to take away all of your rights.
	Yeah, we've seen them come after even gun rights of their political opponents.
	INSA found that 84% of those survey believe that fellow citizens are self-censoring their opinions because they are afraid of consequences.
	77% of supporters of the leftist Progressive Green Party agreeing that people self-censor and 92% of voters who back the populist right alternative for Germany, AFT, I was right, saying the same.
	When asked if they personally have hidden their true thoughts, 54% said that they have had at least one experience when they did not feel able to speak freely.
	I would be surprised if all of us in America didn't have certain situations where they felt the same as well.
	Not necessarily for fear of government reprisal, but just of social consequence.
	If you say this thing, what is going to happen?
	How are people going to react?
	Is this going to spiral out of control?
	The issue of free speech in Germany was highlighted earlier this year by U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance during an address before the Munich Security Conference in February.
	Vance also criticized Berlin for enacting a political firewall around the populist Alternative for Germany party.
	Since his speech, the government has gone even further with the internal BFE political spy agency branding the party as an extremist organization.
	A step paving the way to more state surveillance of the party and potentially laying the groundwork for an outright ban.
	That's what they're working their way towards.
	Can't have any sort of dissenting thought in Germany.
	You're not allowed to be right-wing there.
	You had a bad experience once with a right-wing party, and now, even if you aren't espousing any of the problematic statements that came along with the Nazis, nope, can't have you doing that.
	Expert says a specific group of people is leading to the collapse of human civilization.
	A sweeping new historical survey that analyzes 5,000 years and the collapse of more than 400 societies makes the case that we're not, that we're in for a rude awakening.
	Can't put on, can't put a date on doomsday, but by looking at the 5,000 years of civilization, we can understand the trajectories we face today.
	And self-termination is most likely.
	Luke Kemp, research fellow at the Center for the Study of Existential Risk at the University of Cambridge, told the British newspaper, I'm pessimistic about the future, he added, but I'm optimistic about people.
	Kemp warned him of narcissistic and psychopathic leaders, a powerful but small oligarchy working against the interests of the rest of us.
	Yeah, Luke, we again, this is another one of those things like, duh, yeah, where you been, Luke?
	This has been obvious.
	This is something that you needed.
	You needed your degree to figure this out.
	Scientists have long warned that escalating global temperatures caused by human activities could eventually tip us over the edge.
	Yeah.
	That's what we need the degree for, is to mix it up with global warming nonsense.
	Dekemp, we can learn from thousands of years of human civilization to get a sense of how things will eventually play out.
	In his book, he used the term Goliath to refer to kingdoms and empires that dominated others using weaponry and other threatening tactics.
	History is best told as a story of organized crime.
	Well, you can definitely describe governments that way.
	It is a group creating a monopoly on resources to the use of violence over a certain territory and population.
	Yeah, again, this is...
	Is this supposed to be something where we go, wow.
	Yeah, Luke.
	I don't.
	Duh.
	Fourth turning is a better explanation.
	U.S. Vice President obsessed with UFOs.
	JD Vance.
	It's revealed he's been obsessed with UFOs and hopes to thoroughly investigate the phenomenon in the nearest future.
	Like, I'm obsessed with the whole UFO thing.
	What's actually going on?
	What were those videos all about?
	What's actually happening, he said.
	I haven't gotten to the bottom of it yet, but we're only six months in.
	We've been very busy.
	This is setting the stage.
	This is going to be some sort of gaslighting thing.
	Yeah, we're going to reveal it all.
	To be fair, anytime there's something they want to distract you from, they start rolling out alien stories.
	They start saying, look, look over here.
	They declassified this.
	They declassified that.
	Look at this footage that shows something weird.
	This is typical for them.
	How 9000 Watson eat Zimunke, Klaus.
	That's right.
	They're feeding the lions bugs.
	Is it perhaps because they have to, you know, give them a healthy diet and they care about their health?
	Wait, if it's, you know, the treasured pets?
	That's right.
	Sorry.
	I guess it's just bug paste for you and me.
	B. Taylor, or B.T. Taylor 246.
	Hitler was as socialist as it gets, so the idea that Germany wants to go after right-wing beliefs because of him is laughable.
	Don't start talking sense here, B.T. Taylor.
	Don't start talking sense.
	It won't matter.
	The Germans have an agenda and they're going to stick to it.
	They are not interested in the facts of the matter.

	The David Knight Show.
	You're listening to the David Knight Show.
	Welcome back, folks.
	We're going to look at what's going on with World War III.
	Isn't it wonderful that we would live to see such interesting times?
	We've got Donald Trump gearing up for nuclear war, threatening with nuclear submarines.
	He's going to.
	They hurt ego.
	Russia hurt his ego, and as such, they've got to be made to fear.
	First, for love of the road, it says, Is that one mile per hour lower than the speed limit in the left lane?
	Does it specify?
	I can't see them saying you can't drive slower than the speed limit.
	They should have a minimum speed requirement, one mile per hour lower.
	Isn't that speed, though?
	The article that I saw when I was looking at it, I don't remember it specifying.
	I think it's just a minimum speed across the board.
	So we'll see how rigorously that is enforced.
	Nickel front.
	Can't drive one mile over or under the recommended speed.
	It must be exactly that at all times.
	Well, don't worry.
	They'll have self-driving cars that will moderate it for us soon.
	We won't have to think about it.
	They'll take control and make sure that we adhere to the speed limit exactly.
	Nickel Front, not another primate dying in a zoo.
	We all remember what happened last time.
	Yeah.
	Harambe being shot is what caused all this.
	All the insanity we're witnessing today started after that gosh darn gorilla got killed.
	That's right.
	They had fed him to lions.
	Who knows?
	Perhaps that's the circle of life.
	Maybe that's what needed to happen.
	Maybe instead of shooting the gorilla, they needed to just release a line into the pen as a distraction.
	I'm actually, we actually went to the Cincinnati Zoo on a trip after that happened.
	Paid my respects there to our fallen comrade.
	10 Days, Then What?
	Authored by Larry C. Johnson via Sonar 21.
	Donald Trump made another move in his feckless game of global checkers today in Scotland.
	Announcement that he is giving Russia a new much shorter deadline of 10 days to end the war in Ukraine.
	Trump warned that if President Vladimir Putin does not reach a deal by around August 7th through 9th, the U.S. will impose new sanctions and severe tariffs on Russia and countries supporting its war effort.
	Trump's new deadline elicited a collective yawn from Moscow.
	Again, he's putting, he's trying to put pressure on the country that he doesn't have any real influence over, whereas Ukraine, a country we have direct influence over and in fact are funding, he doesn't really do anything to.
	He could call up Zelensky and say, you're going to come to a peace agreement.
	And Zelensky would basically be forced to do that.
	If he said, we're going to stop sending you weapons and money, the resistance in Ukraine would collapse very, very rapidly.
	And of course, the Ukrainian war is largely our fault.
	We're the ones that kept pushing them toward NATO, installed their puppet regime that they have.
	In 2021, U.S. exports to Russia totaled approximately 6.4 billion in U.S. imports from Russia totaled about $29.7 billion.
	This resulted in a U.S. trade deficit with Russia of about $23.3 billion for that year.
	Trump's threat of new sanctions is just a blow hard, bloviating.
	Ending shipments Of fertilizers and precious metals is not going to hurt the Russian economy one bit thanks to the sanctions Biden levied in 2022.
	Russia's economy grew to the fourth to be the fourth largest in the world as measured by purchasing power parody.
	Trump, if he is serious, will impose bone-crunching tariffs on China and India.
	Both countries appear unfazed by Trump's bullying bluster.
	China, in particular, holds some very strong cards, rare earth minerals, desperately needed by the U.S. military industrial complex.
	I think this will be another Trump-nothing burger.
	Of course, he loves to come out with these bombastic statements, declare some kind of victory after a little bit, and then move on to the next thing.
	Whether he actually achieved anything or not.
	So why did Trump whittle down the deadline?
	One possible explanation concerns the rapid deterioration of the military situation for Ukraine.
	Russia is making rapid advances all along the line of contact.
	And even Ukrainian media and social media outlets are expressing alarm.
	Is that what sparked Trump's decision to shorten the time for Russia to agree to a ceasefire?
	50 days or 12 days, it does not matter.
	Trump has no leverage to compel Russia to agree to the ceasefire that the US and Europe want to be imposed.
	Russia is going to continue with its offensive and will take more territory in the coming weeks.
	Russian troops are pushing north and advancing to the west.
	No pressure from Washington or Europe will alter this reality.
	We've seen this continual sort of like, oh well, you know, if we just scold Russia a little bit more, they'll surely back down.
	If we just support Ukraine, they can win.
	Ukraine is a much, much smaller country.
	They have a smaller population base.
	If it becomes a war of attrition, Russia simply wins by numbers.
	They have more people that they can feed into it.
	Again, I mentioned this before, but I've seen many, many people online, less so as the war has dragged on.
	But many, many at the beginning were so many Americans were saying, we stand with Ukraine, fight to the last Ukrainian, which again is very, very easy to say from your couch in America as you watch this all unfold on social media, as you watch curated highlights of Ukrainian soldiers, you know, killing Russians.
	Fight to the last Ukrainian.
	I wonder if the last Ukrainian has anything to say about that.
	I don't think they do.
	Their input is not required in this.
	You've got couch soldiers here in the United States declaring that the war will only end when every last Ukrainian is dead.
	Don't worry, Zelensky will just import a bunch of people from the third world to keep their population up.
	Yeah.
	Except for the fact that I don't think these third world immigrants would want to die for Ukraine.
	I'm not sure that they would be so willing to sign up for that.
	I'd be curious what third world immigration stats for Ukraine are, that they're so eager to go to a country that's currently in the middle of a war.
	Trump prepared for nuclear war with Russia.
	We moved from geopolitics to ego politics.
	At a White House press conference, Trump explained his order to deploy two nuclear submarines earlier on Friday.
	He vowed to send them to what he called the appropriate regions.
	Well, we had to do that.
	We had to be careful.
	A threat was made and we didn't think it was appropriate, Trump said.
	So I do that on the basis of safety for our people.
	A threat was made by a former president of Russia for going to protect our people.
	This is, again, just for his own ego.
	The what is it?
	Medvedev had said, you know, basically, we don't care what you have to say.
	Don't go down the sleepy Joe Road.
	And Trump was seething.
	How dare you compare me to that man?
	How dare you use my own rhetoric against me?
	How dare you use childish insults to describe someone?
	Ridiculous.
	How dare you use my own childish insults?
	He is working us towards nuclear holocaust because he was insulted.
	Well, let him remember his favorite movies about the Walking Dead as well as how dangerous the fabled dead hand can be, Medvedev wrote.
	Again, working towards a nuclear holocaust because of Trump's ego and our insistence on backing Ukraine.
	The dispute escalated after Trump referred to Medvedev as a failed leader and warned him to watch his words.
	Medvedev, who currently serves as deputy chairman of Russia's Security Council, responded with a scathing message warning against provoking Moscow too far, referencing the legendary perimeter, automatic nuclear retaliation system which dates back to the Soviet era and is presumed to still exist in Russia.
	Trump condemned the former Russian leader's rhetoric as foolish and inflammatory, warning that words are very important and can often lead to unintended consequences.
	Says the man that is continually bloviating and making threats.
	He is the one that is routinely out there threatening Russia.
	Routinely out there demanding things of them.
	Trump deploys nuclear subs in response to Medvedev tweet.
	We may have nuclear annihilation thanks to Twitter.
	The American president has condemned what he called foolish and inflammatory statements by the former Russian leader.
	Again, it's incredible for Donald Trump to come out and say anything about others making inflammatory statements.
	Foolish and inflammatory statements.
	Especially when you consider the foolish and inflammatory statement in question is quoting Trump.
	How dare he quote my foolish and inflammatory statements back at me again?
	This is all about his ego.
	Orban points to main hurdle in ending Ukraine politic in Ukraine conflict.
	Hungarian Prime Minister has urged Ukrainians in the West to abandon the idea of Kiev joining NATO.
	It's a simple solution.
	Back off on that and perhaps give the Russians some conciliatory territory and the war could probably be ended fairly quickly.
	But we can't do that.
	No, it's on Russia to back down apparently, despite the fact they were provoked over and over again for years.
	The Ukraine conflict will only be resolved in both the West and Kiev, except that the Ukraine cannot be a NATO member, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban has said.
	Hungary has opposed Ukraine's bid to join NATO, arguing that such a move risks dragging Europe into a full-scale war with Russia.
	Hungarian authorities have refused to send weapons to Kiev and continue to advocate a negotiated solution.
	Peace will come when Europeans and Ukrainians alike accept the fact that Russia will never allow NATO to establish a presence on its western border in Ukraine.
	Kremlin has repeatedly stated that Ukraine's pursuit of NATO membership poses a direct threat to Russian national Security.
	They made this very, very clear for years leading up to this.
	It was not something they would accept, not something they would tolerate, but we kept pushing for it.
	We kept working towards that, making war, making conflict inevitable.
	Earlier this year, NATO members agreed on a plan to raise their defense budgets to 5% of GDP.
	In June, the EU redirected approximately 335 billion euros, which is 390 billion dollars in COVID relief funds toward military uses.
	The COVID funds.
	They're going to kill us one way or another.
	Well, they're not taking the shots anymore.
	I guess maybe we'll need to send them to war.
	Russia has condemned the steps, accusing both NATO and the EU of rabid militarization.
	Orban also stated that a Russian threat to Europe is unrealistic and does not exist and should not shape EU policies.
	They continually paint this picture of Russia as some maniacal state where they're intent on infinite expansion.
	They're going to take over Europe if we don't stop them.
	Which is an absurd premise.
	Nibru 2029, more traffic laws equal more revenue rangers on the road.
	Ever-growing militarized Gestasi force.
	That's right.
	They'll be able to harass you for more and more things.
	KWD 68, if the tariffs don't get you, the nukes will.
	That's right.
	They're going to bankrupt you and then irradiate you.
	Nibru 2029.
	Soon every vehicle manually driven will be mandated to have speed limiters installed to regulate the speed again to smart electric and water meters.
	I would not be surprised.
	They're going to, of course, if they do mandate something like that, you'll be forced to pay for it out of pocket yourself.
	And it'll be very expensive, I'm sure.
	Assyrian girl, not over or under one mile per hour.
	Guess that means they intend to flatten out all the roads.
	No more hills.
	I'm sure they won't be sitting at the bottom of the hill waiting for you or in the middle of it as your car slows down to climb it.
	No defense against Russia's Oreshnik missile, ex-Pentagon analyst says.
	A new weapon could shift the balance of power in favor of Moscow, Michael Malouf told RT.
	Of course, RT is a Russian outlet.
	And as such, anything they say must be taken with a grain of salt when it comes to Russia because they do tend to be a propaganda piece for them.
	They give them fluff pieces.
	Neither Ukraine nor its Western backers have any means to counter Russia's newly deployed intermediate range Oreshnik missile.
	Malouf, a former senior Pentagon security analyst told RT in an interview.
	Rushnik could easily shift the balance of power overwhelmingly in favor of Russia.
	Having a hypersonic missile for which there's no defense currently is astonishing.
	It absolutely alters that balance of power dramatically, for which the Ukrainians have no defense.
	He noted that while the U.S. is working to adapt to missile defense systems such as THAAD to counter hypersonic threats, these programs remain under development.
	There's no operational ability at this point to deal with a hypersonic missile.
	Russian could reach its target within mere minutes.
	They've got no way to counter it.
	They've got nothing they can do, but they're not going to back down.
	Missile also travels at a speed of over 7,000 miles an hour.
	There's no defense against that, he said.
	Missile system, Malouf stated, has already been tested successfully in Ukraine in battlefield conditions.
	He's referring to a strike on Ukraine's Uzmash military industrial facility in the city of Nepir in November 2024.
	Putin said afterward that the missile's warheads flew at speeds exceeding Mach 10 and could not be intercepted by existing air defenses.
	Missile could also carry conventional and nuclear payloads.
	According to Putin, the Oreshnik strike on Ukraine was a response to the country's decision to use Western-supplied long-range missiles for attacks deep into Russia.
	The question of supplying the weapons to Belarus, Russia's key ally, will likely be resolved by the end of the year.
	Putin announces completion of first mass-production Oreshnik hypersonic missile system is already being delivered to Russia's forces.
	So apparently, this thing that we have no answer for that Ukraine has no answer for, and the ways that could potentially be used to answer for it are still in development, is already ready to go.
	It's in mass production.
	Tunnel Lord 1337, I seriously think all these saber-rattling is just to use fear to manipulate each respective population.
	Yeah, I would not be surprised if this is simply ways of scaring people, like you point out.
	They do use fear to control people.
	KWD68, I can't worry about World War III right now.
	There was a measles death in Kentucky.
	Oh, well, that's a much more serious issue.
	Now, of course, anytime they say measles death, it seems like we find out that it wasn't the measles that killed him, it was the hospital treatment or some other condition that they had.
	We'll have to wait and see.
	Russia battle-tested the new hypersonic missile in November by conducting a strike on a military factory in Ukraine.
	The Russian missile is believed to be nuclear capable, although Putin had previously stated its conventional form can inflict damage comparable to a low-yield nuclear explosion.
	The first mass-produced Oreshnik hypersonic missile system has entered service with Russia's armed forces.
	It is being deployed, and we have no answer.
	Ukraine has no answer.
	But why would we ever back down?
	Why would we ever consider the fact that we're bleeding Ukraine dry?
	Trump's Russia sanctions ultimately will blow up in America's face, says Jeffrey Sachs.
	Economist and longtime advisor to the UN Jeffrey Sachs has issued a scathing critique of President Trump's decision to unleash yet more anti-Russia sanctions, giving Moscow just 10 days to negotiate for peace with Ukraine or else the new punitive measures will go into effect.
	Sachs called the new policy dangerous and a sign that the Trump administration is plagued by contradictions and lack of a coherent strategy for ending the war.
	Well, there's a lack of a coherent strategy for everything Trump does.
	Anytime Trump is involved with something, it means a lack of a coherent strategy.
	He likes to, as we pointed out, come out and just say things.
	He doesn't care if there's any truth to it.
	He doesn't care if they're able to act on it.
	He'll make declarations.
	He'll go out there and shout and rave.
	But very rarely does he have a plan to back it up.
	The secondary sanctions aimed primarily at these nations still trading with Russia are doomed to be ineffective anyway, the Columbia University professor pointed out.
	If the sanctions are actually applied, they are an escalation of the conflict and therefore very dangerous.
	I do not believe that they will be effective.
	For example, I do not believe they will stop Russia from selling oil, gas, and other commodities to Asian markets, and provocations and escalations often have unpredictable negative effects.
	Of course, we saw it fail under Biden.
	There's no reason that it should work with Donald Trump.
	The restrictions are likely to backfire regardless.
	As they could expose the incompetence or even accelerate the breakup of US-side geopolitical and economic blocks.
	This is, in short, the wrong approach.
	We need diplomacy and negotiation to get to the root causes of the conflict.
	It's all of them not unworkable ultimatums based on the idea of an unconditional ceasefire.
	As we said, ego politics.
	Let's take a look at a clip from David Sachs.
	Obviously, the 3% number is way ahead of expectations.
	It's a fantastic number.
	It just feels like everything's humming on all cylinders here.
	One thing you didn't mention, but I think is relevant, is the new trade deal with the EU.
	We're about to get to that, by the way.
	That's the next story.
	Okay, well, I mean, I would include that because I mean, I think it was a deal that just got announced where the EU is going to open its markets to U.S. products, no tariff on U.S. products, but they will pay a 15% tariff coming in.
	laughs
	I grabbed the wrong clip, so my mistake.
	The real underlying causes of the Ukraine war, such as historic NATO expansion, east, the sham-Minsk Accords or the coup events of 2014, said Western powers now demand an unconditional ceasefire.
	Russia will not agree to this, nor will a new round of U.S. sanctions compel Russia to agree to this.
	White House Special Envoy to Russia and Ukraine, Keith Kellogg, has claimed that the relative claimed the relative ineffectiveness of current sanctions thus far has largely been due to weak enforcement from the West.
	Kellogg, of course, is 100% wrong.
	And a total neocon.
	Well, uh, warmonger, let's just say.
	Kellogg is desperate for the war to continue.
	He doesn't care what happens to Ukraine.
	He doesn't care what happens to Russia.
	He doesn't care what happens to the American people.
	He's bought and sold by the military-industrial complex.
	Zelensky signs law allowing Ukrainians over 60 to join military in limited roles.
	That's always a good sign.
	That's always a good sign when you have to continually expand who your military base is, who you allow into roles in combat.
	Now, of course, they see the limited roles, so assuming these people wouldn't be in combat, but that's still not good.
	That means they're running out of people of the appropriate ages for these positions.
	Whether it's because Russia has killed them or they are simply not signing up because they don't see any hope in it, or they fled the country.
	It means Ukraine is running low on bodies to fill these positions.
	Ukrainians age 60 and older can now serve in non-combat roles thanks to new legislation, allowing people over the age of 60 to serve in limited roles until martial law in Ukraine is lifted.
	Zelensky's presidential term has already expired and he's used martial law to remain in office.
	That is.
	That's our ally.
	MP said that even if President Donald Trump sent more weapons to Ukraine, the war cannot last forever.
	Zelensky backtracks.
	This is from the New American.
	Ukraine restores anti-corruption agencies' autonomy.
	Of course, we've seen Zelensky is as corrupt as they come.
	It's hard to pick out a more corrupt leader in the modern times.
	His wife, of course, vacationing on the French Riviera, spending massive amounts of money to buy herself clothes and jewelry and take trips, where the Ukrainian people are being slaughtered on the battlefield.
	Ukrainian government backtracked on a move that would have given the president and his party yet more power.
	Ukraine's parliament voted on Thursday to restore the autonomy of anti-corruption agencies that were stood up 10 years ago at the behest of the European Union to address the country's most endemic corruption problem.
	Ukraine consistently ranks among the most corrupt countries in Europe.
	Versal is seen as a response to the intense domestic protests and international scolding the Zelensky government incurred for trying to take control of the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine.
	What Zelensky attempted to do in line was in line with his long-standing pattern of authoritarianism.
	After Russia invaded in 2022, the government declared martial law and essentially outlawed dissent and opposition.
	They banned independent media and other political parties, elections, and free speech by religious leaders.
	Presidential and parliamentary elections are not allowed.
	These policies continue to this day.
	In fact, probably the only reason Zelensky is still in power is because the war is ongoing.
	Zelensky's excuse for trying to take control of the agencies was to rid them of Russian influence.
	That's right.
	Russian influence is everywhere.
	Anti-corruption bureau has charged 42 lawmakers since 2022 and 71 in all since 2016.
	More than 30 of those lawmakers currently serve in parliament.
	Most common charges were misappropriation or embezzlement of property, accepting undue benefits, abuse of power, or official position, false asset declarations, and illicit enrichment.
	Ukraine is notorious for institutional corruption.
	International corruption's perception index from 2019 shows that Ukraine and Russia had nearly identical corruption scores.
	Zelensky, this room Zero Hedge Zelensky says he discussed new large-scale arms deal with Trump.
	I'm sure the military-industrial complex is loving that.
	Large-scale agreements, I talked about them with President Trump, and I very, very much hope that we'll be able to implement all of this.
	Yes, that's right.
	We want more weapons.
	Right now we need to act to force Russia to peace.
	No talk of them negotiating.
	No concern for his fellow countrymen.
	It's about maintaining his own power.
	He doesn't care.
	As I said, if they do fight to the last Ukrainian, if it does mean that every last one of them is killed.
	U.S. Senators proposed 55 billion Ukraine aid bills.
	This is from RT.
	A group of U.S. senators have introduced a bill to allocate $54.6 billion in aid to Ukraine over the 2026 and 2027 fiscal years.
	President Donald Trump has repeatedly opposed more U.S. aid to Ukraine, insisting Europe should cover the costs.
	But of course, he refuses to cut off the aid that's going there.
	He refuses to just say, no more.
	We're not going to be sending you money or weapons.
	Last month, Trump claimed that billions of dollars allocated by the Biden administration may have been misused by Ukraine, saying he doubts the money was spent on weapons as intended.
	Yeah, gee, what a shocker.
	This is what everyone already knows.
	We've seen, as I've said, Zelensky's wife vacationing on the French Riviera.
	Seen her buying all kinds of lavish clothing for herself.
	Wonder where she got that money from.
	Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene has likewise condemned Ukraine's Vladimir Zelensky as a dictator.
	He's a dictator by definition.
	It's martial law.
	Call for his removal, accusing him of blocking peace efforts.
	This article is from Zero Hedge.
	Senate rejects bids to block arms sales to Israel.
	The Senate voted on July 30th to reject two resolutions that would have blocked arms sales to Israel in response to concerns over civilian casualties in the Gaza Strip.
	Senators rejected two motions introduced by Senator Bernie Sanders.
	It would have stopped the export of over 5,000 bombs and guidance kits and 20,000 firearms.
	The resolution failed by 73 to 24 and 70 to 27 respectively in a 100-member chamber.
	So that means about three-quarters of the Senate at minimum is owned by APAC.
	Three-quarters will do whatever Israel says.
	In recent weeks, a number of Western nations have indicated they plan to recognize a Palestinian state.
	Macron said he would formally announce the decision to recognize the Palestinian state at the UN General Assembly in September, citing the need to end the Israel-Hamas war.
	Four days later, UK Prime Minister Kier Starmer said the UK will recognize the Palestinian state by September.
	The following day, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said his country would recognize the Palestinian statehood at the UN in September if the Palestinian Authority, which runs the West Bank, made reforms, including holding an election in 2026 and reframing, refraining from militarization.
	Well, the world is in chaos all over the place.
	We are sending money to Ukraine.
	We are sending money to Israel.
	Two wrong sides of conflict.
	That's the way it goes.
	We're going to take a quick break.
	Then we're going to look at the pharmacide that's going on.
	They know what they're doing is killing people.
	They know that it's injuring them and debilitating them.
	They just don't care.
	They do not care at all.
	So stay with us, folks, and we will be right back.
	Thank you.
	Thank you.
	You're listening to The David Knight Show.
	The David Knight Show.
	Oh, my God.
	You're listening to The David Knight Show.
	Welcome back, folks.
	I said at the beginning of the show, we have news that a California hospital concealed evidence linking catastrophic surge in stillbirths to the COVID vaccine.
	This lawsuit alleges.
	Now we've got some comments from a Syrian girl.
	I don't believe for a moment that Zelensky won't use the old folks as cannon fodder.
	I wish I could state online the words I would use to describe that little insect.
	Yeah.
	He is a truly wicked individual.
	His just cosplaying.
	He's LARPing as some kind of soldier as he sends people out to die for his own personal gain.
	And I agree with you.
	Once it becomes necessary, they will absolutely send the older generation out as well.
	They'll get them in to these non-combat positions and they'll renegotiate the contract, which is to say, they'll simply tell them, well, we need more bodies out on the front line.
	Time for you to go out into the trenches.
	KWD68, it's a strange world when I back a Bernie Sanders proposal.
	I know we live in strange times.
	It's always a bit disconcerting when that happens.
	The lawsuit filed last week in a California Superior Court also accuses the hospital of retaliating against whistleblower Michelle Spencer after she made public an internal hospital email that revealed skyrocketing rates.
	Of course, this is all laid at the feet of Donald Trump.
	Let's take a look at this video right here.
	I'm sure this will make up for it.
	Well, one of the things they're going to be talking about pretty soon are the tremendous drop in drug prices.
	You know, we've cut drugs.
	400, 1,300, 1,400, 1,500%.
	I don't mean 50%.
	I mean 1,400, 1,500%.
	Because we're going favored nations.
	We want the same price as Europe gets.
	We want the same prices other countries.
	Over the years, 25-30 years ago, it started where they were charging us much more.
	I put an end to it, you know, with a letter that you saw last week.
	So I think that's going to be a point.
	I don't know how anybody could win an election if they're on the other side of that issue.
	So we'll be dropping drug prices.
	It'll start over the next two to three months by $1,200, $1,300, and even $1,400%, and 500%, but not just 50% or 25%, which normally would be a lot.
	Because the rest of the world pays much less for the identical drug.
	And we're going to be paying the same thing.
	We're going to have a favored nation.
	We will pay as low as the lowest nation in the world.
	That's right, folks.
	He's going to lower it by 1,500%.
	So you can go get some drugs and get rich.
	They'll be paying you.
	Just go get whatever you need or whatever you want and walk out with a big wad of cash.
	In fact, why not just buy out the entire store and make yourself a millionaire?
	And remember, he's not talking about 50% or an actual percentage reduction of the price.
	He's talking about 1,500%.
	This is to pay you 15 times what it cost before.
	This is our business genius leading the nation.
	I'm starting to think I know why his casinos went bankrupt.
	A California hospital concealed data linking a catastrophic surge in stillbirths among women who received COVID-19 vaccines according to a lawsuit filed last week in the Superior Court of California, Fresno County.
	Michelle Spencer, a nurse at Community Medical Center, CMC, said the hospital deliberately and selectively concealed from staff, patients, and regulators a spark and onboard baby deaths that began in spring 2021 and retaliated against her when she publicized the information.
	Well, you're cutting into their profits.
	You're telling people the truth.
	You can't have that.
	Hospitals are making a lot of money off of COVID at that time.
	And they liked that.
	The lawsuit also says the hospital concealed medical data related to the fatal deaths that showed a link to COVID-19 vaccination Of pregnant mothers, fetal deaths, not fatal deaths.
	Death does usually tend to be fatal, though.
	Spencer witnessed firsthand the exponential increase in unborn baby deaths directly correlating with pregnant women who received a COVID vaccine that would deliver a dead baby a close number of days or weeks following their injection.
	This is more of the war on children, war on babies.
	Any way they can do it, they love killing them.
	If they can't convince you to just outright do it through abortion, perhaps they can scare you enough into taking a vaccine or some other drug that will do it for them.
	The essence of this case is that the truth shall set you free.
	The hospital possessed vaccinated versus unvaccinated comparison data.
	The numbers proved the vaccines were causing miscarriages and more in the vaccinated group.
	We know hospital management analyzed the data because they said so, and we see they concealed it from regulators because that file requested by regulators is empty.
	Children's Health Defense is funding the lawsuit which accuses the hospital of fraud, retaliation, and unethical business practices.
	There is how many other hospitals are sitting on data like this, you have to wonder.
	And we quite certainly did retaliate.
	I mean, we have nothing to do with the medical field, but we got heavily censored, debanked, everything for talking about this back in 2021.
	If you talked about the vaccines and you pointed out the damage they were doing, or the fact they were untested, unproven, you got quashed.
	Ongoing.
	In September 2022, Julie Christopherson, a nurse manager specializing in parenatal care and bereavement, sent an email to the nursing and technical staff at the hospital describing the ongoing spike in stillborn babies, which he called demise patients.
	Well, it seems as though the increase of demise patients that we are seeing is going to continue.
	Christofferson wrote there were 22 demises in August, which ties a record number of demises in July 2021.
	And so far September, there have been seven.
	It's only the eighth day of the month, almost one a day.
	It is hard to believe how wicked these people are knowing this and continuing to push it.
	This isn't again, this is hospital staff.
	These aren't some distant politicians or people on Wall Street or some pharma executive.
	These are nurses and doctors that work directly with people that see the damage they're doing.
	They continue to push, they continue to hide it.
	This is how far our culture has fallen.
	This willingness to do anything for money.
	Right overture says 30 years ago I worked for Baxter Drug Company.
	Cost us two cents to produce a bag of penicillin.
	We then charge the hospitals over $150 a bag.
	Then the hospital gets their cut.
	Yeah, the prices on things are ludicrous.
	Yeah, there's a lot of price gouging and things that could be done, but when you see the president talking about reducing the price by 1500%, obviously 100% off is free.
	So anything more than that is paying you.
	When they're throwing around these numbers, it shows that he doesn't have any plan or any actual strategy going forward.
	Yeah, and he doesn't understand anything.
	The hospital management ignored multiple safety signals for COVID-19 vaccine injuries among mothers and babies, according to the complaint, which states: Not only did the increase in more baby deaths occur, but mothers suddenly began having more frequent and more significant health problems, i.e., vascular clotting, hemorrhaging, that did not occur prior to vaccination.
	It is difficult to talk about this kind of thing.
	Because as the Syrian girl said about Zelensky, if you were to say what really comes to mind when you hear these sorts of things, you would probably, at minimum, be kicked off of any and every platform that you could think of.
	These people are engaged in knowingly providing poison that would harm the mothers and kill babies.
	How can people like that should be tried for murder?
	People like that should be hauled in before a court, and the justice should be swift.
	RFK Jr. announces repeal of policy that rewarded hospitals for reporting staff vaccination rates.
	In his department's latest move related to the vaccine-related reform, Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on August 1st announced more appeals, a federal policy that rewarded hospitals for reporting staff vaccination rates.
	And of course, this is a big revenue generator for the vaccine company.
	It's not just because of the hospital staff that needs to get them, but because they're going to be much more likely to push it on other people if they've been forced to take it themselves.
	They were bribing hospitals to vaccinate their staff.
	You do that, you get a big payout.
	This is, again, Trump and his federal government.
	MAGA doesn't ever want to acknowledge anything like this.
	Don't frag me, bro.
	Hospitals are not friendly places you want long-term relations with.
	In China, they over-prescribe drugs and IVs.
	Yes, people walking in the streets with IVs to create revenue.
	Hospitals do love their revenue.
	It's a specifically for-profit business.
	There has to be, again, some kind of balance between turning a profit and only focusing on profit.
	Common allergy medications risks outweigh its usefulness, experts say.
	Diphendramine, dipenhydramine.
	If someone has an allergic reaction to food, people say, don't worry, I have defenhydramine in my purse.
	And I would say, actually, epinephrine is the first-line treatment for food allergies, said Wolfson, an allergist at Massachusetts General Hospital.
	Diphenhydramine can be harmful if people take it.
	This is, again, what we find all the time.
	They prescribe these drugs, these steroids, whatever it is, and they end up doing more harm than good, or at least as much harm as good.
	They don't care if it causes damage.
	They don't care if it poisons you or kills you.
	Just so long as they get to turn a profit while doing it.
	Wild pigs found with blue meat in California spark alarm.
	I guess pork is no longer the other white meat.
	The trapper found several with blue-tinged muscles and fat tissues, a bizarre discoloration as a result of exposure to difhassinone, an anticoagulant rodenticide that is often dyed to identify it as poison.
	Trapper observed the wild pigs eating directly from rodenticide bait stations.
	And this is what we're seeing continually.
	In every aspect of life, we are contaminating our environments with these caustic and toxic chemicals.
	We are absolutely uncaring.
	The government will shout from the rooftops that carbon emissions are a problem, that they're a major issue, but they'll continue to let Monsanto poison the ground with glyphosate, poison people with glyphosate.
	They'll let golf courses spray these chemicals that cause Parkinson's.
	They'll engage in high-altitude aerosol injections, you know, chemtrailing.
	But you are going to have to turn in your car because it happens to create carbon emissions.
	This is the utter insanity of these people.
	We've got pigs with blue meat because they're eating rat poison.
	The environment is continually being messed with.
	You know, it is just absurd how they go about things.
	As I said, they get to do whatever they want.
	The big companies get to spray poison anywhere and everywhere.
	But you won't get air conditioning because that's going to cause the planet to melt down.
	Gonna cut off our power generation.
	We can't have coal plants.
	But India and China can have as many coal plants as they want when they're the ones that are really polluting the environment, really dumping trash into the rivers and oceans.
	Be my Valentine, my sister, a retired registered nurse, cannot believe the decline in hospital care since she worked there years ago.
	We're out-of-town nurses getting $90 an hour and no continuity of care.
	Yeah, the nursing has become a way for usually women to be seen as virtuous and noble and get a level of social credibility and power.
	Oh, you're a nurse?
	Oh, thank you so much for being a nurse.
	It gives them this glow of prestige that they really like.
	It's a social climbing job at this point.
	You get to put on a specific outfit and then people give you praise for it.
	It's become largely a costume for busy bodies that want to be able to control people.
	It's no longer about people that actually want to help.
	We're going to take a quick break and we're going to come back and what's going on with Christians and Christianity.
	And then, of course, in the third hour, our guest will be joining us.
	So stay with us, folks.
	We will be right back.

	This is the worker garb.
	Perhaps there's a good reason for it that I'm unaware.
	Maybe it's just that they're simple and easy to manufacture.
	And you're going to need many different outfits.
	KWD68.
	We need to remember that when talking about nurses, teachers, police, it is many who are bad.
	It may be most.
	It isn't all.
	I've said this before.
	I've met good nurses.
	As a general rule, they tend to be older nurses.
	They tend to be ones that have been in the profession for longer.
	ones that did not get into it recently people in my jab thing a lot of the good ones were forced out because they didn't want to jeopardize their own health it As I've said before, most of the nurses from my generation and onward tend to be very eager to exercise power.

	It gives them, as I said, a degree of authority.
	Like, oh, well, I'm a nurse, and therefore, you have to listen to me.
	It becomes very much a matter of earning some sort of societal respect.
	You're not about what you can do to help people individually.
	The Daily Skeptic, Christian preacher threatened with arrest after being assaulted by Muslim men on street.
	My dad has told this story multiple times on air, and I think I've even told it before.
	We took a trip to London in 2001, before September 11th, 2001, and went to Speaker's Corner.
	We saw a lot of different things.
	I unfortunately got something.
	I don't know what it was on the plane flight over, but I was out of commission.
	I was barely conscious.
	But there are certain things I remember.
	One of them is this preacher at Speaker's Corner.
	He was standing on some kind of box, so he was elevated above everyone.
	And he was, you know, talking about the Bible, talking about the gospel.
	And he was surrounded by, you know, six or so Muslim men who were just yelling at him, yelling at him in no particular order, all of them just back and forth, yelling and getting angrier and angrier.
	And the guy who was talking about the Bible, giving the gospel, had a large mug of beer in his hand.
	And I remember these two cops, I guess bobbies, standing nearby.
	And I remember one of them leaning over.
	It was a male and a female cop.
	And the male cop leans over to the female cop and says, oh, you know, once he finishes that mug of beer, he's going to be trouble.
	The guy, the Christian preacher, is going to be trouble.
	No interest in the shouting Muslims, the very angry shouting Muslims.
	But once that Christian finishes his mug of beer, there's going to be trouble here.
	It's amazing the degree of brainwashing they can instill with their training programs for these people.
	It's a sort of intense propaganda combined with them selecting four people that are going to be jack-booted yes men.
	Yeah.
	And this was back in 2001.
	I can only imagine how ludicrous the police have become since then, the cops in England.
	A Christian preacher says he was the victim of two-tier policing and censorship after he was assaulted by Muslim men in Bristol, then threatened with arrest by police.
	Pastor Dia Moodley is considering taking legal action against Avon and Somerset Police after he claims he was assaulted by Muslim bystanders who objected to his peaceful preaching, then being threatened with arrest by police.
	Since 2020, the Christian from Bristol has been the subject of repeated enforcement action by Avon and Somerset Police over his street preaching, which includes comparisons between Christianity and Islam.
	He said, I just want the police to uphold the fundamental human right of freedom of expression for preachers like me and to properly investigate crime against me and people like me.
	Of course, on the animal farm, some animals are more equal than others.
	There's a clear example of two-tier policing was effectively victim blaming.
	This should not occur in a free and democratic society.
	While preaching in March this year, a number of Muslim men took offense at Moodley's preaching, with one man threatening to stab him, another attempting to punch his wife, according to the pastor.
	These peaceful, loving Muslims attacking his wife.
	You can see the picture of him there.
	The sign that says, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
	Moodley described the bystanders attempting to forcibly take his Quran, which he had been holding in his hand, pushing him off his ladder, pinning him to the floor, and claiming the Quran was their book, not his.
	He claimed police officers told him on two separate occasions that he would be arrested for a breach of the peace, despite considering himself the victim.
	Moodley said that the man who had threatened to stab him continued to make threats in the presence of the officers was not arrested.
	That's because that's who these laws are set up to protect.
	They want this influx Of violent Muslims.
	These very savage, very ill-educated people.
	This is who they want to replace, the English.
	And they're working towards it and working towards it quickly.
	Can't preach the gospel on the street because that could lead to problems with the Muslims.
	They'll take it very badly.
	If you want to read their book and point out the flaws in it, if you're going to talk about the Quran and show what a violent book it is, how it's nothing but a tome written by a warlord, a pedophile warlord, they're going to get upset and they're going to cause problems.
	And that's your fault.
	Cannot preach the gospel because the Muslims will be offended.
	Connecticut AG sues Trump admin to ensure kids can get transgender procedures.
	This is, again, the Democrats' obsession with harming children.
	This is part of their religion.
	They hate children.
	They want to destroy them.
	I don't necessarily believe the Republicans are any better, but they're at least forced to, in most occasions, pay lip service to the base that hates this kind of thing, that finds it to be abhorrent.
	The Democrats know that their supporters are actively in favor of it, so they're allowed to go full bore with it.
	You're allowed to sue so that children can be mutilated.
	Connecticut Attorney General William Tong, of course, the Tongs, a good old American family, announced on Friday that Connecticut is joining a 16-state lawsuit against the Trump administration to block an executive order limiting funds to hospitals that treat transgender children.
	Question I have for Donald Trump and Pam Bondi and anyone who wants to attack children and families in healthcare and transgender people and gender-affirming care.
	My only question is: what would you do if your kid, your child was diagnosed with gender dysphoria?
	Well, you could get them some kind of treatment so that the mental illness that they're suffering from wouldn't cause them to mutilate themselves.
	You could work with them to help them understand that these feelings aren't real and aren't right, so they don't have to destroy their own body.
	What would you do if the child abuse prevention laws prevented you from mutilating them and cutting off their breasts or other parts?
	This is the continual refrain you hear from them.
	Well, what would you do if your kid was in this situation?
	It's a very easy solution.
	Simply work with them so they don't succumb to this mental illness.
	It has been classified as such for years.
	Only recently, after intense lobbying and working, were they able to get it unclassified as a mental illness?
	It is truly amazing how this transgender nonsense was something that was on the fringes.
	It wasn't something that was talked about.
	It was there, but it wasn't mainstream.
	And now it seems that 50% of all political discussions revolve around this sort of thing.
	The United States went crazy, absolutely and completely crazy over this.
	Right around 2015, 2016.
	It is.
	This is something that, again, if you were to tell someone in 1999 what was happening, they would not believe you.
	The specific executive order this lawsuit is targeting is EO 14187 called Protecting Children from Chemical and Surgical Mutilation by the Trump administration.
	It's amazing that this man is designed to sue over an executive order that's protecting kids from chemical and surgical mutilation.
	Like, yeah, we should get rid of that one.
	That's the executive order that needs to go.
	They like to name these things the opposite of what they are typically, but this one, it's actually named exactly what it is.
	It is, in fact, protecting kids from surgical and chemical mutilation.
	Neither conspiracy nor theory, the global elite and ritualistic child sexual abuse.
	Far from myth, the wealthiest and most powerful people on earth engage in it pervasively, understand the reasons why and why they're theological.
	In 2019, Jeffrey Epstein was arrested for sex trafficking minors by 2020.
	He was dead.
	In between the world caught a fleeting glimpse into a world it was never supposed to see.
	Epstein's black book included princes, presidents, professors, billionaires, Hollywood moguls, and intelligence agents.
	Ghelane Maxwell, Epstein's longtime accomplice, was convicted of child sex trafficking in 2022.
	But the names of those she trafficked children to remain sealed.
	Not a single client list has been released to the public.
	Mike's open.
	We are told to accept that Epstein ran a global trafficking network for the elite, yet somehow did it alone.
	Even more damning, ABC News anchor Amy Robach was caught on a hot mic in 2019 admitting the network had the story in 2016, including interviews with victims and photos of Prince Andrew, but suppressed it due to pressure from Buckingham Palace.
	Epstein is not an outlier.
	He's a blueprint.
	He's the clearest modern example of how the world's most powerful men operate behind closed doors with legal immunity.
	He did not need to hide.
	He was protected and he flaunted it.
	You can see all those pictures of him with Trump.
	See him with the Clintons.
	You can hear the way they talked about him.
	This was.
	This is how our elites' elites, quote-unquote, operate it.
	Much has been written to discredit the so-called Pizzagate scandal and for good reason.
	Unfounded claims and amateur internet sleuthing obscured real concerns, but in the rush to dismiss media ignored one undeniable reality.
	John Podesta and his brother Tony own and commission art that depicts bound children, acts of cannibalism, and graphic violence.
	These are verified facts.
	The artists include Biljana de Jurjurjevic and Mariana Abramovic, whose spirit cooking rituals include mock cannibalism and occult symbolism.
	John Podesta's emails released by WikiLeaks include cryptic references to pizza, hot dogs, and cheese in ways that defied normal context.
	A private party in the back room of a pizza shop included a performance by a band known for sexualizing children.
	Comet Ping Pong, the location at the center of the controversy, had Instagram posts referencing toddlers and explicit jokes involving children.
	None of these details prove a child's sex ring, but they certainly raise questions that no journalist has dared to pursue.
	Our guest is ready, so we will have to stop this article here.
	But again, I know I keep mentioning it, but I'm reading the Franklin Saving about the Franklin Saving and Loan scandal, the book by John DeCamp.
	And this is just a pattern of behavior stretching back decades.
	There's no reason to assume that the Franklin Saving and Loan scandal was the first time it happened.
	There's no reason to assume it hasn't been going on much longer than that.
	There's no reason to assume that Epstein was the only person of this kind that was active in today's society.
	These people enjoy harming children.
	They will do it every chance.
	They get in any way they can.
	And as such, there is going to be, there's always going to be someone like Epstein who's willing to provide them with these types of things and then use that for leverage.
	It is not simply about their fetishes or preferences.
	It is a, as they said, a ritual.
	It is because they are serving their father, the devil.
	And Satan hates children.
	Nibidu 2029.
	Democrats love children.
	Children are the most useful tool they have against society.
	They love harming them.
	They love turning them into twisted mockeries of what they should be.
	They love perverting them.
	That's what they love.
	And of course, they love killing them.
	Abortion has killed millions of children.
	It is child sacrifice on a scale that no one could have imagined.
	We're going to take a quick break, and we will be right back with our guest, Paul List, who wrote the book Mount Doom.
	It's about the dangers of AI from a Christian perspective.
	So stay with us.
	ORCHESTRA PLAYS
	ORCHESTRA PLAYS In a world of deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.
	You're listening to the David Knight Show.
	Okay, very good.
	Welcome back, folks.
	My guest today is Paul List.
	As I said, he wrote the book, Mount Doom.
	It's about the dangers of AI and how he saw a prescient warning in the works of Tolkien.
	So thank you for joining me, Paul.
	It's a pleasure to speak with you.
	I am a huge fan of Tolkien myself.
	I've grown up on Lord of the Rings, reading the books, watching the movies, whether it's the old animated versions or Peter Jackson's versions.
	I love them all.
	And I think there's much to learn from Tolkien.
	I could hardly agree more.
	It would be nice to talk with someone who's at least reasonably well steeped in the mythology.
	Fantastic.
	I appreciate that.
	Yes, I think it's possibly one of the greatest works ever written.
	I know that's become kind of a, you know, people look down on that sort of take, but Tolkien was a fantastic writer.
	The way he worked mythology, as you said, into his work, it wasn't simply a story.
	He wanted this to be a new mythology for England, something that people could look to and point to and take meaning from it.
	You know, it's funny because he always said he hated metaphor and that sort of thing.
	But he couldn't help but write it into his story anyway.
	You know, the truths he believed in are so true and so powerful that they come through in his writing anyway, despite the fact that he allegedly claimed to hate it.
	Well, he said he cordially disliked allegory.
	I hear that all the time.
	In fact, I had a very famous author we invited to write the foreword to our book, and he said, well, you're making it into an allegory.
	And Tolkien said he hated allegory.
	Therefore, either he's a liar or you're wrong.
	This is after he said, I can't believe how complete this is.
	And this is like, this is amazing.
	However, that's okay.
	But Tolkien did.
	He said, you know, he did, what he said is he disliked the type of obvious allegory that was too easy.
	But it's too easy to see.
	Therefore, it dominated the reader's imagination.
	They couldn't think of anything else.
	And that's why I think he was really hinting at poking at C.S. Lewis and his Narnia chronicles that are very obvious, allegorical.
	But, you know, you can't, he also said the allegory is the life of the story, and you can't avoid allegorical language.
	So he preferred the term applicable.
	And what is it applicable to?
	He said very clearly in that same letter that everybody seems to have read at the foreword of the Silmarillion to his publisher.
	He said that it's all the, anyway, all this stuff is about the fall.
	That's Adam and Eve, the fall of Adam and Eve.
	That's original sin.
	Mortality, which is the fear of death, and the machine.
	And what I do is I show exactly where those things are, how the whole mythology unfolded, and I unfold the whole mythology and reveal all the secrets, including the identity of Tom Bombadil and Goldberry.
	And when people actually hear it, they go, holy smokes, how come nobody thought of that, saw that before or anything else?
	And it's really because I gave myself a scholastic education, an education in the true scholastic tradition, where this is the philosophies that came before the Enlightenment.
	So I've read the Enlightenment philosophers, of course, but I read them after I'd already studied deeply all the works of Aristotle, Plato too, Aristotle, Augustine, all the church fathers and doctors, and finally all the way up to and beyond St. Thomas Aquinas.
	And then when I looked at the mythology, I went, lo and behold, wow, it just absolutely became incredibly obvious to me.
	And I realized that the only reason it hadn't been seen before is nobody really studies scholasticism anymore because it was rejected by Francis Bacon and never came back to any degree in academia for the last 500 years during the age of the Enlightenment and the Industrial Revolution.
	So people have been looking at it through a Cartesian lens, and it's very, very opaque and ambiguous through that lens at best.
	But when you've studied your scholastic philosophy, it really, really unfolds beautifully.
	So where would you like to begin?
	Awesome.
	Well, let's start with telling people where they can find your book if they'd like to purchase it.
	So what's the website they can go to?
	Well, they can get it anywhere that sells books.
	Of course, everybody online sells it, but we make very little money, almost nothing on the, I didn't do this for the money, but it comes in handy when you're trying to get the message out.
	So they can go to readmountdoom.com.
	Read it.
	and they can order a book.
	They can order a book there, and I will personally sign it and put it in a bubble wrap envelope and get it out in the mail.
	It's a little slower.
	You won't get it as soon as you get it.
	For instance, if you order it on Amazon, they'll put it in the mail probably today.
	I won't be able to put it in the mail until Saturday.
	I typically can go to the mailbox with all the orders on a Saturday, get it all out of the way because I'm a business owner and I've got things going on and I don't have access to going to the post office all the time every day.
	So if you're looking for it fast, probably go to Amazon.
	But if you're looking for a signed copy and you can wait maybe two weeks, go to readmountdoom.com.
	Fantastic.
	Readmountdoom.com.
	And of course, the book itself is Mount Doom.
	And I'd like to start with that.
	What made you choose that as the title?
	What made you see Mount Doom as the epicenter or your own allegory or metaphor for what's going on with AI?
	Is that because that's where Sauron forged his ring of power?
	Is that how you see these people, you know, these technocrats?
	They're Sauron and they are forging their chains of path to control us.
	No, you're close.
	Note you're close, though.
	Sauron is AI.
	Sauron is the machine.
	He is the machine.
	The eye of Sauron, the eye that's always looking for the one ring.
	Well, that's right out of Alan Turing's 1936 paper, where he basically invented the digital computer on paper, his paper called On Computable Numbers with an Application to the Skydunks problem, where he actually invents the computer on paper in 1936.
	And that scanner eye is looking for ones and zeros, the one ring, and it's digital.
	It goes on the finger.
	So that's scanner eyes looking for the ring all the time because it is the language of the machine.
	That's what the machine needs in order to function.
	And we're not just talking about artificial intelligence like Grock or any of these chat GPT or whoever.
	We're talking about all of the branches of technology that only is possible, made possible, and is totally contingent on the language of the machine, totally contingent on artificial intelligence.
	That's self-driving cars, digital money, the metaverse, transhumanism.
	All these things rely on ones and zeros.
	So the whole point of the mythology is to destroy the language of the machine.
	The language, without the language of the machine, the machine is completely useless.
	It's completely harmless.
	So I'd like to just point out a couple things real quick.
	Please.
	Middle earth is, Middle Earth is the material brain.
	This is a psychological saga.
	It's got very little to do with this world, the primary realm, as Tolkien calls it.
	His mythology is in the secondary realm.
	And if you know, you understand Aristotle, Aristotle's categories and whatnot, understand that that's backed away from primary matter is the stuff that everything is made of.
	Matter and form are come together in Aristotle's hylomorphic philosophy.
	That we need that.
	But it's the secondary realm of the imagination.
	But it goes on in Middle Earth in the material brain, and that is Middle Earth.
	And it's laid out roughly according to a frenetic diagram, which used to be the old Victorian pseudoscience, where they have a diagram, a silhouette of a head, and they point out all these regions of what it was responsible for.
	So Mordor, where it's really fantastic, Tolkien, once you read my book, you understand just how brilliant Tolkien really is and what a great sense of humor he has.
	So Mordor is the cerebellum.
	And if you look at a, we show a picture in the book.
	If you look at a diagram, and there were many, the cerebellum was responsible for crime and hate and theft and all the negative stuff that's all these evils.
	That's Mordor.
	And then right outside that, in this funny little shaped peninsula, where Tolkien has Osgiliath, the city that's fallen over the river, that's the region of fear.
	And Oskiliath, of course, now is a haunted city.
	And nobody wants to go there.
	It's empty and whatnot.
	So it's laid out in the mind.
	And then Tolkien gives in the brain, excuse me, that's the material realm.
	The immaterial realm, as you know, the whole person or the whole world that he called it was named Arda.
	And Arda in the Silmarillion, Arda is an individual soul, but it's a representative individual human being that represents all of Western civilization.
	Okay, so what happens to Western civilization has happened to Arda in a very, very clever, applicable way that he writes.
	And then he also goes past where we are now to the age of the machine and the advance of transhumanism.
	So not to get too far away or too far ahead of your original question.
	Mount Doom is the area in the cerebellum where the implant has been planted.
	And that is the Tower of Baradur.
	The Tower of Baradur is the implants.
	Tolkien saw transhumanism coming very clearly back in the probably the late 40s, at least by 1950.
	He had what a lot of people don't realize is he spent three days as a top secret code cracker for the British government called the Government Code and Cipher School in 1939.
	He was recruited as one of England's top 50 intellectuals to become part of this code cracking team to try to break the Enigma machine before the oncoming of Hitler, because that was so critical to their war machine.
	These uninterrupted communications and uncipherable communications that would go out from Berlin, for instance, out all across the theater of war, which was all over the Western world.
	So cracking that machine was very critical.
	Tolkien was the world's leading philologist at the time.
	He spoke about 12 languages, so he was recruited.
	This is about 18 months after his publication of The Hobbit.
	So he was very popular already.
	He trained there for three days at the government code and cipher school, and on staff there was Alan Turing.
	And he actually had seen, I speculate, I wasn't there looking over their shoulder, but I can speculate very clearly that what he saw there, he was offered a job after three days of training.
	He said he was keen.
	The guy said he was keen.
	They offered him a job, and he said no, and he got out.
	And everybody was kind of miffed about, well, why would he get out?
	We need him, right?
	Well, he realized very early that this wasn't about language.
	This was about mathematics, pattern recognition, probabilities, and statistics.
	Okay, this was the realm of the mathematician and the statistician.
	So he got out.
	He also realized, and he made it very clear in a couple of his letters, particularly one I think to Christopher.
	He made it very clear that the only thing that advances and benefits from war is the machine, not human beings.
	And we see that.
	So if we trace the progression of technology, we always see it constantly being swept up and used in warfare and as well as in industry.
	Okay, so Tolkien was a very big skeptic of machinery.
	He saw what was coming.
	All we were going to do with this code in cyber school was develop a machine that was more powerful than the Enigma machine.
	And all he'd be doing was taking part in the advance of the machine.
	So he got out of it and he started to write The Lord of the Rings.
	And we could go into, I don't want to continue.
	You know, if you've got more questions, we've got a limited time.
	So that's where I started.
	I named it Mount Doom.
	That is the area where the ring was forged, the ones and zeros of the language of the machine.
	And I go into deep detail how that happened.
	Very interesting.
	Yeah.
	I'd like to continue, but first, I'd just like to say, ask, how do you see these technocrats?
	People like Elon Musk or Mark Zuckerberg, these people that, to me, I can see a very, you know, stark correlation to like the Nazgul, these people that are looking for some kind of half-life where they merge with a machine and become these sort of ghouls that live on forever, but they're not truly alive in any sense of the word.
	They transfer their consciousness.
	They're virtual.
	That's right.
	They're virtual and you're spot on.
	That's exactly what they are.
	These guys, these technocrats who have taken and now they're controlled by the machine.
	They use these machines like oracles.
	They use them to their advantage in the stock market.
	They use them to their advantage for everything, every move that they make.
	We have to remember that really was what was really critical to the development of artificial intelligence was the game of chess.
	Chess was very, you probably remember back when Gary Gasparov finally beat, you know, our big blue finally beat Gary, you know, remember that?
	That's right out of Alan Turing's 1950 paper, Computing Machinery and Intelligence, where he taught, first off, he redefines what intelligence is, and we've taken that bait, which is terrible.
	But then he talks about how you train this machine.
	And you basically train the machine like you would a child, and then it advances to an adult.
	So you'll get a kick out of this.
	When the Alliance defeated of Men and Elves, defeated the first version of Sauron and cut the ring from his hand, that was the child computer.
	Okay, he didn't have an eye, so he was illiterate.
	He couldn't read yet.
	But his Tolkien is amazingly funny.
	So that was done.
	But the whole point, and it's all about Alan Turing's imitation game that he defines in that paper, 1950 paper that I mentioned.
	He defined redefines intelligence to be nothing but imitation.
	And the computer, if the computer could imitate a human being so well that it would fool a human interrogator, then who are we to say it's not intelligent?
	Okay, and you can see all the dangers of that.
	And then the other mission of Alan Turing, and he made this very early on in his younger years, was to develop a machine that would be capable of harboring a human soul because he wanted to bring back the soul of his dead childhood adolescent homosexual lover, Michael.
	He wanted to make a machine that would house his soul.
	He had that vision.
	There's the essence of transhumanism right there.
	So Tolkien saw all this stuff coming.
	So back to these technocrats, they are the Nazgul.
	The Nazgul, though, are in the mythology, are the agents of virtual reality.
	That's why when you put on the ring, you enter the virtual realm.
	You enter the metaverse.
	Okay, and now they can see you and you can see them.
	Okay, and these creatures were once men and they were ruled then by the ring.
	And these are these technocrats.
	And I think they're jockeying for position, for instance, these days about who's going to take on the leadership role as the witch king of Angbar.
	And right now, I got my money probably on Elon Musk.
	Yeah, that's something I've said before: they're working towards similar goals, but there's not necessarily any real love or cohesion between them.
	They all want to be the guy at the top of the pyramid.
	Yeah, they're all competitors.
	But they all have the same goal.
	They all want the ring.
	That's what they want.
	They want the master and the control of the ring and everything that it can give them, which is domination, which is global domination.
	So this is, we have to be very careful.
	And just to make a couple of points, we have to be very careful that we don't follow their lead into the conversation.
	We can't allow these guys to define terms because the dialectic battle that we're up that we're in for is all about terminology.
	It's all about the definition of words.
	So if we allow them, for instance, to use like an Alan Turing's version of intelligence, it goes very swiftly and very seductively and insidiously from there to life, to consciousness.
	And right from there, you've got the essence, the necessity for political power.
	And we have to make sure that we never allow this thing to have political power.
	But if we allow it to be called truly intelligent, then it's a slippery slope into, well, then it's a sentient being.
	And if it's a sentient being, then it must be alive.
	You know, we're machines, right?
	Just ask the evolutionary, the Darwinists.
	We're just biological machines.
	What's the difference?
	Well, then they get political power.
	And if you want to see an invasion, a political invasion, I'm sure you've got a wonderful imagination, and you can figure out all the possible fallout from giving the machine political power.
	And humanity will be very rapidly enslaved.
	We have to make sure that our Constitution is very much protected and is only there for God's children made in the image of God.
	God did not make this machine.
	He certainly didn't make it in his image.
	And that machine has no right and no access to and no protection under the Constitution.
	We have to make sure it stays that way.
	But if we don't get a hold of our legislators, we don't get a hold of people like Trump and have him stop pushing this AI stuff as the only way forward, we're in big trouble.
	This thing's going to get political power and it's going to be the death of humanity.
	Yeah, that's one of the issues when we're dealing with things like this is anytime you want to bring it up to someone, it sounds almost sci-fi, but that's kind of where these people dwell in that realm of science fiction right before it becomes science fact.
	So when you're talking about it, you sound a little kooky to normal people.
	You're like, oh, well, that's not real.
	But unless you address it before it happens, you're almost too late.
	By the time it's real to the average person.
	That's exactly right.
	But you see, this is the brilliance and the faith exercised by Jerry R. Tolkien.
	When he wrote his mythology, he knew exactly, of course, what he was doing.
	But he made a very, very, very diligent effort to make sure that nobody tried to make something out of it other than just look at it.
	Just look at it.
	It's not, no, it's not this.
	No, he didn't want Stalin and Hitler and these ideologues commandeering his work and turning it into some allegorical propaganda, which he really didn't want.
	And he also wanted to make it as unthreatening as possible because he lived in an environment, one that was incredibly anti-Catholic at Oxford.
	So anything that was truly Catholic would have been smashed right off the bat.
	And it was also very threatening to academia.
	Very threatening to academia because if you would know, Saruman is in the image of John Dewey, and he is practical wisdom, practical wisdom who's taken over academia.
	The tower of the blackened tower of Weisengard is the black and ivory tower of academia.
	And Gandalf is philosophical wisdom who's been pushed out.
	He's been pushed out and Saruman, who's in the image of John Dewey, you probably are aware of who John Dewey was.
	For those who don't, he was an early 20th century, mid-20th century, heavy hitter in the realm of education, and he destroyed Western education.
	He absolutely destroyed what we're reaping.
	Look at any of our schools around here, and it's got John Dewey's iron fist right on it.
	Everything from transhumanism to all the LGBT stuff, all the craziness that they're trying, they're indoctrinating.
	It's about indoctrination.
	So Tolkien made a very great leap of faith when he put this out.
	He made it applicable to our current state and our history.
	And he made it very unthreatening.
	So it would, by osmosis, not by force, it would osmosis by just the purity of its entertainment factor.
	How much fun it is to read, how thrilling it is to read.
	It would, by osmosis, saturate the whole world.
	And he knew that in God's time, God would pick somebody to actually do the homework, and there was a lot of it, do the homework, and actually be able to see what was actually going on.
	And I don't know why God chose me that he did.
	I'm not particularly special, but he did.
	And I did what I was supposed to do.
	Tolkien knew that when the time was right, God would choose somebody, and the message would come out.
	Well, now that it's completely saturated in the world, it would come out at the right time, exactly the right time, to meet the enemy that it was supposed to meet.
	That enemy is artificial intelligence.
	It is truly the enemy of our time.
	There is nothing that is going to lead to more tragic outcomes for humanity than AI.
	It has the ability to cause massive, massive damage.
	The power that it will give those who wield it is truly unfathomable with the amount of data it will skim and take from people.
	I'm curious as to how you see people like Sam Altman and Elon Musk.
	Elon Musk has alternated between being dizzyingly happy about AI and praising it and saying, you know, this is the best thing that's ever happening that's ever happened.
	We're going to use it for everything here and there.
	And then seeming very dejected and depressed and almost angry.
	It's like I tried to warn these people.
	They didn't listen when he talks about AI.
	Do you have a theory?
	Does that correlate to anything in your mind?
	Yeah, well, I think that Elon Musk, I'll just take him for, I'll leave the other people out because I think Elon Musk is the frontrunner right now.
	And I think for a while, Elon was, first off, he's not theologically or morally or ethically grounded.
	These people are, none of these guys are.
	I'm not calling them evil, but they're not morally and ethically grounded and they're unaware or they're unwilling to admit that there is a greater power struggle above us out of our out of the realm of our animal senses.
	We can't see it going on.
	But I think most anybody who's paying attention, you can feel it going on.
	And there's a power struggle in the angelic realm above us.
	And this is the battleground where it actually all the strife occurs in this realm.
	And these people, if you're not aware of that, and you're not even willing to open your mind to the reality of that existence of the reality of a realm that's far more real than this.
	This is beyond time and beyond the perishable realm.
	Okay, if you're not willing to admit that, then those powers are going to use you.
	They're going to use you and you're going to leave yourself by default open to their influence.
	And I think Elon Musk and company has definitely, they've left themselves open to that influence because they're not willing to even consider that's a possibility.
	So those demonic and they are demonic influences.
	And they're by default influenced by demonic influences.
	So I think for a while Elon was struggling with claiming, oh, yeah, this is real danger.
	We have to be real careful.
	In the meantime, he's still pushing it through, etc.
	And then he decides, well, it's going to happen.
	I heard him in an interview.
	He said, well, robotics is going to happen.
	AI is going to happen.
	Whether or not I participate, and I realize I can either be a participant or I can be a bystander.
	So I'm going to be a participant.
	So now it's peddled to the metal with robotics.
	I mean, robotics is going to be a huge disruptor.
	And not just because you're going to have robots painting your house or robots, you know, doing your dishes or whatever.
	You're going to have these many, many, unfortunately, many people are going to have robots in sexual relationships.
	And it's going to be an absolute disaster to an already disastrous population collapse.
	It's going to undo the family and undo marriages and it's going to further reduce the production, the pro-creation of children.
	Yeah, that's something I've talked about on the show before.
	It's just the schism between men and women has been exacerbated over the years.
	And now you're going to give these disaffected, disillusioned young men this ability.
	It's like, oh, well, you know, I don't ever have to worry about this woman that may divorce me, take half my stuff, may make me miserable.
	This robot's never going to talk back to me.
	It's never going to say no.
	I'll just take that instead of, you know, why wouldn't I?
	And they'll never understand the true joy of having a family, of having a wife that cares about you or a child.
	It is an absolute assault.
	Elon Musk is very keen on saying, oh, we have to have more children.
	Therefore, he goes out and has children with all these illegitimate relationships, illegitimate children.
	And the problem with him is that he is under the impression or he operates under the ideology or the understanding that the essence of civilization is the individual.
	And nothing could be further from the truth.
	The essence of civilization is the family.
	And the individual is part.
	It's the building blocks of the family.
	But you don't start there with just trying to build more building blocks.
	There's no point in that.
	You start building civilization by building families.
	And he doesn't understand that.
	So the disruption to the family is going to be huge.
	Basically, these robots and bots too online.
	People fall in love with the bot that they're chatting with all the time.
	Even when the bot says, well, you could be closer to me if you kill yourself.
	And they do.
	This is happening already.
	What it is, what this is, is a very complicated, very complex mirror.
	So you fall in love essentially with yourself because the robot never gives you what you need.
	The robot always gives you what you want.
	Sometimes you need a good, you know, cold slap in the face and a kick in the ass.
	But the robot's not going to do that.
	The robot's never going to make you stand up and be a better man.
	Never going to push back when you come home late after out carousing or never going to do anything that's going to disrupt your pleasure.
	So you basically, and it gets better and better at figuring you out and predicting your every want and predicting.
	It's all about making better and better predictions.
	So it becomes more and more clear, focused reflection of yourself.
	And you essentially fall in love with yourself.
	And if you look at that against the, okay, I'm going to fall in love with this woman who's got her own agenda, who's got her own, makes her own demands.
	And sometimes they're damned inconvenient.
	And sometimes we don't.
	You know, sometimes we don't love, but we do love because we understand, being good Aquinas philosophy people, that we understand that love is a knowledge.
	Sometimes it has a feeling, but not always, but it's always a knowledge.
	I don't always feel love for my wife, for instance, but I know that I love her or my children or whatever.
	It's a knowledge.
	It can't be focused on a feeling, but we've allowed love to be defined by a feeling, and that's why we get these crazy people claiming that love is love, and love between two men is the same as love between man and wife, or love between man and child for crying out loud.
	Yeah, it's it's we, and I hearken back to what I said before.
	We have to take control of the conversation and not allow these Nazgul, these Nazgul technocrats to drive the essence of the conversation by changing the meaning of words because words have been changed.
	The meaning has been work of words have been constantly changed all the time.
	I love old dictionaries, particularly old etymological dictionaries where the root and meaning of the word is.
	And I can tell you what lexicographers have done a wonderful job of making themselves relevant, keeping their job by always changing the dictionary and the meaning of words according to the modern usage, which nothing could really in the language could be any more disastrous to humanity.
	So we have to be careful to make sure that we control the meaning of words, particularly life consciousness.
	We never let them get involved with politics, never give them rights under the Constitution.
	Yes, if you let these people set the terms of engagement, you're already starting out on a losing foot.
	If you let them, as she said, change what words mean and redefine how these are supposed to operate, it gives them a massive advantage.
	You're starting out on the back foot, as I said, and you have to fight uphill the entire way.
	Because then it's like, well, you know, this is what that means.
	Like, well, that's not what it meant five minutes ago.
	That's not what it meant yesterday.
	I'm not talking about what you've redefined it to mean.
	You have to then go through this entire battle with people over and over again.
	Exactly.
	I could use the term, like, for instance, this simple term that everybody uses, like education.
	I've never met a teacher that actually knew what the word actually meant.
	I'll say, well, what does the word mean?
	And they'll say, oh, well, it means, you know, like teaching.
	And he said, oh, that's a, that's, no, that, you know, that's not what education.
	What does the word mean?
	And they go, well, it's, you know, you instruct this and you're giving information to the no, you're trying to describe the act maybe of education.
	That's not what the word means.
	They don't know.
	Universally, they don't know.
	You'd think a teacher involved in higher, particularly higher education, would actually know what education means.
	It means to lead out with authority.
	That authority used to be the church.
	Now it's the state.
	And the state does not have humanity's best interests at heart.
	No.
	So we have to make sure that we understand that and use words according to their real meaning, not allow, like you said, how it's used five minutes ago.
	And five minutes from now, it'll be used some other way.
	So that's all part of the moral relativism that we've been pushed into.
	There's no fundamental, essential, immutable truth.
	And that was right out of John Dewey's, I think it was his first book, Education and Democracy.
	Read all of his disastrous books.
	But he wound up becoming president of the teachers college at Columbia University, where he spread his Marxist, heavily influenced.
	He was a huge fan of Marx, and he was a huge fan of the Industrial Revolution.
	And his whole idea was to turn the rearing of children over to the teachers, to the school system, where the kids could get taken as early as possible and indoctrinated.
	The parents go off and work in the factories, and they become little more than just livestock producers for the state.
	And that's pretty much where we are.
	Yeah, it's amazing how Columbia University continues to rear its head.
	Many times you hear about Marxists, Columbia pops back.
	They hosted the Frankfurt School when they moved over from Germany.
	And Columbia has a long history of flirting with Marxism.
	Yeah.
	So, but where else would you like to go?
	I mean, I'd like to talk to you about some of the Tolkien mythology.
	Absolutely.
	We've actually got some questions about that from the listeners.
	One of it says, I want to hear about the Tom Bombadil theory.
	So if you'd be interested in elucidating us on what you think Tom Bombadil references, I would love to hear that.
	Because I love Tom Bombadil as a character.
	And I was so sad when he was.
	Everybody doesn't understand him.
	They think it's very, he's so he's an enigmatic.
	And who's Tom Bombadil and Goldberry?
	I mean, they left him out of the movies because Jackson, nobody's ever realized, they just think it's frivolous.
	It's not.
	The whole mythology is about Tom and Goldberry.
	They are the focus of the whole mythology.
	Because if you're familiar with the Silmarillion, you are familiar with Telpurion and Laurelin, and they're the trees of light.
	The golden tree was Laurelin, and the silver tree was Telpurion.
	And they waxed and waned.
	And I go into my book, they're actually waxing and waning according to musical modulation or what we call the circle of fifths.
	So they're actually waxing and waning.
	And this is the pure state of the mind because in Amen in the undying land across the sea from Middle Earth is the immaterial intellect.
	That's our thoughts.
	That's our immaterial portion of our mind because our mind is more than just our brain.
	Okay, so the trees of light are the rational will, which is the silver tree, that's Talpurion, and the rational intellect and the conscience, which is the golden tree, which is Laurel.
	And when they're killed, Okay?
	He's not the devil.
	He's original sin.
	That's why he mars and destroys everything.
	He invites and brings in Angolian, the giant spider.
	She is mortal sin, and she brings in and she kills the trees of light.
	So this soul that we're talking about, Arda, is in a state of grace.
	First off, all of the Ainur, the powers of the angelic gods, we call them like Manway and Yvonne, and then Aole and Umo and Orome.
	They're all the 14 facets of the soul, according to the scholastics.
	But above them and how we're made in the image of God, we have a rational will and intellect.
	And they are the tree of light and the silver tree and the golden tree.
	But when they're killed, they fall into a state of mortal sin.
	Aole, who is the power of growth, his wife is Yovana.
	She's the power of generation.
	These are the vegetative powers.
	Aole had made the dwarves long ago.
	So he'd already made bodies and with Aluvatar, they'd been given free will.
	When the trees were killed, they gave one last silver flower by Telpurion and one last golden fruit from Laurelin.
	Aulay gave them, or Yavana gave them to Manway.
	Manway hallowed them, which is an offering to Alouvatar.
	Then they gave them to Aulé, which is the power of growth.
	He made for them caskets.
	Those caskets were set in the sky, and those became the moon, which was the silver flower, and the sun, which is the golden fruit.
	But where the spirits go?
	The spirits aren't up there.
	The spirits he allowed a transmigration into new bodies.
	And those new bodies are Tom Bombadil and Goldberry.
	Tom Bombadil is the transmigrated spirit of the tree of life, the older tree, the silver tree.
	Laurelin is, Goldberry is the transmigrated spirit of the tree, the golden tree, which is the conscience.
	And guess where she gets her name?
	She gets her name from the last golden fruit, Goldberry.
	The fruit was a berry.
	So there's all kinds of leaders into this.
	So what Tom Bombadil is and Goldberry, they are the fallen state in a state of mortal sin.
	This person, this arta, this representative of all Western civilization now is in a state of mortal sin.
	And at the end of the third age, he's got the chip.
	He's got the microchip.
	He's knee-deep in transhumanism.
	Okay, and he's in terrible, terrible shape.
	And what happens?
	He makes a final last call to pull himself out of it.
	And they call the hobbits out of the shire.
	And the hobbits are habits.
	And it's no coincidence that in the whole mythology, the word habit is used nine times.
	And in one chapter, it's used eight times in one chapter.
	And that chapter is the prologue concerning hobbits.
	So the four hobbits are the cardinal virtues.
	So what happens is the will, Tom Bombadil and Goldberry, the will, they will the habits out of the shire, which is that realm of virtue and self-perfection, according to this chart.
	Okay, this frenetic diagram, this old Victorian pseudoscience.
	And they call the habits Arda is going to, because Tom and Goldberry have made up their mind they're going to change their evil ways.
	They're going to get rid of their bad habits.
	They're going to change out their bad habits for the cardinal virtues.
	And they're going to get rid of the ring.
	And the cardinal virtues are, Frodo is temperance.
	That's why he's the only one that can carry the ring.
	Temperance is the virtue, how we moderate our desires for physical pleasure, like ecstasy, like orgasm, okay?
	And gluttony and such.
	Sam is fortitude.
	That's obvious when you read, when you see Sam, never give up.
	Get in there and hang in there.
	The two younger hobbits are called, in Aquinan terms, Aquinas' terms, they're called exterior virtues, how we deal with the exterior world.
	Fortitude and temperance are how we deal with our interior.
	The two exterior are prudence and justice.
	And that's why Tolkien has them living outside of the shire in Buckland and Tocqueville because they're exterior virtues.
	You'll get a real kick out of this.
	You know why the hobbits are always eating, why they have such a big appetite all the time?
	Because according to Aquinas, they're called appetitive virtues.
	So Tolkien gives them huge appetites.
	So Tom and Goldberry call them into the old forest, which, by the way, is a very active realm of the brain.
	Trees, by the way, trees are brain cells.
	Hurons, the hurons that tree beard and etc.
	heard, hurons are neurons.
	And the job of the ants, which, by the way, is the Intellikes.
	Ents are Intelliches.
	Intellikes is right out of Aristotle's Deanima on the soul.
	And the Intelliki is the agency in us that brings potential to actual being.
	And that's what they do.
	So they're about growing and developing the brain.
	Well, the old forest is an area of the brain surrounding the will and the conscience who have been very lazy, very lazy, and allowed their domain, Tom's domain, to radically shrink.
	And now everything's just gone off the rails.
	They've got the microchip.
	They're in terrible trouble.
	The only way that they can get rid of the ring, as Tom showed, when he clicked up the ring and made it disappear and it was gone, then he took it in, he gave it back to Frodo.
	He shows that he is the will.
	He can do whatever he wants.
	He's the rational free will.
	That's why Tom is so powerful.
	But just like anybody else who's developed really bad habits, like smoking or alcoholism, or we can say that, oh, yeah, I quit.
	I quit.
	I'll never do it again.
	That never works.
	The only way that you can overcome that bad habit is to replace it with good habits.
	You'll get a kick out of this too.
	So Gollum is intemperance.
	According to Aquinas, that's the lowest of the low.
	That's no self-control.
	That wants that pleasure, wants everything.
	That's why he wants the ring so much.
	That's why he calls Frodo master, because Frodo is temperance and it's the only thing that can master intemperance.
	Not because Frodo has the ring.
	Frodo has the ring because he's the only one that can carry it because he's temperance.
	Frodo and Gullum are bound as two opposite ends of the temperantial virtue.
	Okay, they're very much alive.
	That's why Frodo has so much sympathy for Gullum.
	Okay, because they're very much in many ways alike.
	But Frodo is the master.
	So Tom Bombadil is the transmigrated spirit of this silver tree, Talpurion.
	And Goldberry is the transmigrated spirit of the golden tree, Laurelin.
	And they are the conscience.
	And this is why the sun and the moon still affect these things.
	The sun and the moon is still very much connected with Tom, the will, and the moon and the sun is very much connected with Goldberry.
	And that's why Goldberry, like, for instance, her wash day, she's still very much in charge of the weather because, as we all know, the weather is driven by the sun.
	So she causes rain.
	And that's an emotional experience in Arda, having an emotional breakdown, realizing what terrible trouble that they're in.
	And they've got to get the hobbits out there and get this fixed.
	And they have to change their evil ways.
	So Tolkien gives them a fellowship where all these powerful aspects and attributes, characteristics of the mind, for instance, Gandalf is philosophical wisdom.
	That's why he's the leader.
	Men is reason.
	Elves are faith.
	Okay.
	Aragorn is high reason.
	That's the reason that contemplates the eternal.
	Okay, and that's why he's an elf friend.
	Elves are faith.
	The whole mythology is about the rejoining of faith and reason.
	It's the rewedding.
	It's the rewedding of faith and reason.
	That's the whole point of Aragorn and Erwin.
	Aragorn's the last.
	That's why he's the king of the rational soul.
	That's why he's the natural king of Middle Earth because high reason is the natural king of the rational soul.
	So Tolkien, this is just barely scratching the very surface level, but that gives you an idea.
	That helps you understand who Tom Bombadil is.
	He's the rational will.
	That's why he can do anything he wants.
	But he can't just quit this bad habit that he's hooked and addicted to the ring any more than a smoker of three packs a day can just say, oh, I quit and go cold turkey.
	They have to develop better habits to replace the bad habits.
	And the land of the shire is the land of habits.
	Not all of them are good.
	For instance, the Sackville Baggins are the habit of theft, taking what's not theirs.
	And there's a lot of things like that.
	It's really, really, really fascinating.
	In my opinion, Bilbo was the habit of generosity.
	And that's why he allowed this whole thing to start and get on that realm because he was a generous artist as broken and as in a state of mortal sin and in a state of confusion.
	And even with the microchip and Beradur growing in the Nazgul and everything, he was still generous at heart.
	That's very interesting.
	Yeah.
	I'm curious as to not to shift the conversation too much, but in Tolkien's time, whether people were actively Christian or believed in it, it was a much more Christian culture.
	And we were able to exert that will.
	People were more Christianized and therefore more willing to accept these moral standards, these Christian moral standards, and saw them as helpful and useful.
	How do you think we go about returning to that?
	Because we see these technocrats and they're able to promise these people all these things like, oh, it's going to make your life easier.
	It's going to make your life better.
	And they seduce them with all these Promises of unlimited potential.
	And they very keenly leave out all the unlimited potential for evil that this thing also has.
	And it's just a much more difficult sell to a lot of people to say.
	Like, you know, well, if you restrain yourself and you work hard and you're honest, and you know, all the Christian virtues require a lot, a lot more effort than these other, I don't want to call them worldly virtues because they're not virtues, but these just, you know, quick buck, ease of living, all these things that AI seems to promise.
	Right.
	Well, how do we, was your, your, your sent the essence of your question, what do we do in our own defense and the defense of Christendom?
	Or how do we get that message across in an age that we're not nearly as Christian as we used to be?
	How would you go about?
	How do you see us getting that message across?
	Because I like, yeah, well, it looks like yours.
	I think that I think that that was first and foremost Tolkien's whole aim was to make a mythology that was so entertaining.
	And it became so popular under the guidance of God.
	He said very clearly, Tolkien said it just felt like somebody wrote it through me.
	And I was astonished at many things.
	For instance, he says, I was astonished to see Aragorn in the corner, a prancing pony.
	I had no idea who he was.
	You know, and so he said, oftentimes I feel like it's just a messenger writing this down.
	You know, he lived in a time, too.
	We have to understand, too, he was deeply, deeply Catholic and not the Catholic of today in this modern age, the modernists in this new sonatal church, which is all just a heresy.
	It's terrible.
	He was very much rooted in the traditional faith.
	He was an altar server at the traditional Latin Mass for like probably, gosh, nine years when he was raised by Father Francis Morgan in the oratory in Birmingham.
	And Father Francis Morgan was actually the personal secretary of St. John Henry Newman.
	So there's a lot of connection, a lot of connection there.
	So Tolkien was surrounded by a very, very anti-Catholic civilization in England.
	It was not the state religion.
	It was very deeply persecuted.
	His own mother had converted to Catholicism when she discovered the truth of history.
	And she realized that this is where I want to be.
	This is what I want for my children.
	Her husband had died, John J.R.R. Tolkien and his brother Hillary's father when they were very young.
	He had died as a banker living in South America.
	Mabel was back in England.
	Now she's widowed and she's got two young children.
	Well, her parents and both sides of the family, Arthur's family, her husband and her own family, ostracized her to the point to try to get her to come back to Anglicanism.
	And she refused.
	And they starved her to death.
	She died very young of a very treatable form of diabetes.
	It was just malnutrition.
	And Tolkien worshipped his mother.
	I mean, Mabel Tolkien was just a wonderful.
	We devoted the book.
	We actually dedicated the book to Mabel Tolkien.
	And so he was in that environment and he understood very well the dangers of coming out with an outright, you know, Catholic message that would have been squashed by the Anglican surrounding and all the other branches that had already taken off.
	Many, many branches that are taken off by then.
	So he was aware of that.
	So that he wrote this to make it as unthreatening as possible to get people to at least get the seeds of the message in there in a form that would be palatable.
	Because let's face it, people are very prideful.
	And not many people actually read history.
	And not very many people try to understand much beyond next Sunday's football game.
	And so it's very easy to get locked and loaded into a theological eschatological position.
	And because it's handed down from my family, or this feels good to me.
	This is where I am right now.
	If it doesn't feel good for me, I'll go over there next week.
	People are very prone to that.
	And so when they're hit with something that's particularly challenging, they have a knee-jerk reaction and reject it.
	And Tolkien was very, very wise in making sure that he didn't make this something that was going to give anybody a sharp stick across the bridge of the nose.
	It's going to make them think.
	If they're a lover of the mythology, they have to understand, like I point out in my book, when you fell in love with the Tolkien mythology, you did not realize this.
	You fell in love with Catholic theology.
	That's what you fell in love with.
	Very interesting.
	So we have to, you know, the whole mythology is about the reunification of faith and reason.
	And what happens when Aragorn and Erwin are re-wed, Gandalf and not in the movie, but they do show it.
	It's the tree, the white tree blossoms again.
	And as I point out, that that white tree is the TLM.
	It's the traditional 1600-year-old mass of the church, the perpetuation of the sacrifice of Christ on the cross in the messianic age.
	And we have to bring that back.
	We have to come back.
	We have to undo, bluntly, we have to undo the terrible, terrible results, the injury of the Reformation.
	And we also have to undo the terrible injury of the Eastern schism.
	Christendom has to come back together and reunite.
	And if we do, we can push back.
	We can push back with authority.
	And we can make these monsters that have taken over the Vatican, for instance, and these heretics, these modernists, we can make them stand up and do the right thing or get out.
	But we've got Tolkien on our side.
	Tolkien gave us the very clear message.
	We have to cultivate virtue.
	We have to become saints.
	Or this machine, because in this realm, if you've bound yourself to this realm, and we do that in many, many, many ways, we bind ourselves to the material realm.
	We've bound ourselves to the master of this realm, which is the devil.
	And we've bound ourselves to his servant under this beast.
	And this, I believe, is the biblical beast.
	It's the beginning of the biblical beast.
	When it comes and joins with the quantum computer and the digital computer becomes the operating system for the quantum computer, I really think we're in a lot of trouble.
	And that is the biblical beast.
	The beast is not a person.
	The beast is not an animal.
	It's not alive.
	AI is not alive.
	It is literally a beast and it's going to devour us.
	And if we continue to bury ourselves in this realm and refuse to transcend and rise above this realm where we have a great deal of safety, doesn't mean our bodies have a great deal of safety, but our souls do.
	And as Christ said, fear not the one that can destroy the body, fear the one that can destroy the soul.
	So we have to make very sure that we transcend this realm.
	And frankly, the highest way that we can transcend that realm is in the traditional Latin Mass.
	It's the highest act of our joining with Christ as he comes down on the altar in the Eucharist.
	It's not a symbol.
	It's going to probably irritate a lot of people.
	But Jesus did not give us a symbol.
	He gave us the real thing.
	If it was a symbol, the 72 would not have left him when they said this is a hard saying.
	The 72 would have not left.
	They would have, oh, it's a symbol, no problem.
	No, he said, you're going to have to eat and drink, eat my flesh and drink my blood.
	And it's not a symbol.
	It's not a metaphor for something else.
	It's the real deal.
	God doesn't give us a symbol.
	He gives us the real deal.
	And everyone believed that, including the founders of the Reformation.
	Luther believed it firmly.
	Henry believed it firmly.
	Calvin believed it firmly.
	But it was only in later in all these other branches, and now there's some 75,000 variations of the Protestant Reform churches, and they're all vying for who's right.
	And seemingly, the only thing that they have in common is their unrational, irrational hatred for the Catholic Church, which actually, and they love the Bible, and I do too, but we have to understand the Bible came about in 405 AD.
	The church had already been around for over 375 years.
	The church gave us the Bible, that it is a product.
	The Bible is the product of the Catholic Church.
	So we have to take a hard look at who has given us our theology.
	We're all programmed.
	We can't get away from it.
	We have to take a deep look, including through our education system.
	We have to take a deep look at our programming, and we have to decide: is this the programming that I want?
	Are these the people that I want to be programmed by?
	Do I want to be programmed by Henry VIII and Luther and Calvin and all these other, everybody who just decides to start their own deal?
	You know, I want to take, I didn't.
	I wanted to be, I knew we were going to have a program just as Mabel Tolkien did.
	I decided that I wanted to be programmed in the true Christian, original 2,000-year-old Catholic Church.
	Not the church that we've got now.
	This Sonal thing that they're pushing on us is a modernist heresy.
	And we have to push back and we have to take back and we have to elevate again and come back to the TLM.
	And that's why the modernists, that's why the globalists, that's why these technocrats come after the TLM.
	That's why the FBI comes after the TLM.
	It's the biggest problem, the biggest barrier to the absolute overthrow of the world, Christ's domain, is to finally completely squash out the traditional Latin Mass.
	I know that's going to irritate a lot of people, but this is Tolkien's message, you know, and I happen to agree with it.
	But this is Tolkien's message, and we have to come back to regional Christendom, or we're going to be devoured.
	I appreciate your passion for it.
	I will let you know personally, I'm not a Catholic, and I'm sure we have to.
	I didn't think we were, but I appreciate your patience.
	I'm sure we have many theological disagreements on things, but I appreciate your passion for it.
	And I trust that you are aimed at Christ, and that's what truly matters.
	I have to say that.
	The gospel is the main focus, and that's where we can all come together.
	And these other things on the side, you know, that's where it's amazing to me that people will get so focused on these other smaller things when the gospel is what is truly there.
	And you've done great work with this book.
	And I would like to ask one more question about where you see things.
	We have a question from one of the listeners, Radisbro.
	You mentioned Smeagel is intemperance, but he also mentions turning into Gollum.
	Do you see any correlation there between just the average person that will indulge and give in to all the AI, whether it's like these sex robots or turning off their brain and using AI to think for them?
	Yeah.
	Yep.
	Well, I mean, Smeagol is the individual that Gollum murdered, basically, in his psychology.
	Okay.
	So in his in Gollum's experience and exposure to temperance, his master, the old Smeagol, who was actually not evil, starts to come back, begins to start to a certain degree to heal, but Gollum is just too powerful.
	And Gollum is truly intemperance.
	And intemperance can't be, you can't play with it.
	Sam had the right attitude.
	It has to be absolutely dominated.
	So Smeagol does start in a certain way to come back.
	But the whole point was not somehow to save Smeagle, because it's about saving Arda, all of Arda, within which Middle-earth is the material brain.
	It's about saving the whole soul.
	Smeagel has to go in the fire with the ring.
	And Frodo, in the book, Frodo puts the ring on.
	Smeagle jumps on him, bites it, and he goes, both the ring and intemperance, which now has become addiction, go in the fire, and they're both destroyed.
	And you can hear when Frodo talks to Smeagel and says, get down, when he holds the ring, get down.
	If you touch me again, you'll go in the fire.
	Well, that's really the voice of Tom Bombadil.
	So if you're really paying attention to the whole mythology, you understand that Tom's voice is there.
	Tom's voice is always in the background.
	Particularly, you hear it through, like at the Rivendell, at the Council of Rivendell, when I believe when Frodo says, I will take the ring, he felt like somebody else was using his voice.
	That was Tom Bombadil, because the will is always active.
	Temperance can't destroy the ring on its own.
	All temperance can do as a habit is bring you so far.
	Fortitude and temperance can bring you so far, they can bring you right to the edge.
	But sooner or later, it comes down to a decision of the will.
	And that's Tom Bombadil.
	And then at that point, Frodo and Sam had brought the ring and Gollum.
	Gollum had been starved and emaciated because they had starved intemperance.
	Okay?
	You'll get a kick out of this too, real quick.
	When Gollum brings Frodo and Sam with the ring into Shilob's lair, Shilob is pornography.
	We have to make sure that we never participate in pornography.
	That is, she is the ultimate weaver of tapestry.
	She's like the loom giving us these false images and these evil, awful images.
	What fights back is sting is the sword that's made by the elves, faith.
	That's the essence of his faith.
	Then they have the file of Galabriel, which is the light that contains the collected starlight from the Silmarille in the north.
	But what that is, it drives that light, drives back Shilob, and what that file is, is filial fear.
	Filial fear.
	So Tolkien makes the file filial fear.
	Filial fear is opposed to servile fear.
	There's two types of basic fear.
	Servile fear is just a fear of getting caught in punishment.
	That's servile fear.
	Filial fear is a fear of insulting the one you love.
	And filial fear in this case is insulting God.
	So Arda had come to a point that filial fear now had taken over.
	And that's what drove back.
	I'm not going to look at pornography, not because I'm afraid of burning in hell.
	No, that won't do it.
	You're going to look at pornography because the thrill of ecstasy of orgasm and whatnot is going to outweigh that delayed wherever that might be in how many other years.
	I'll get over it someday.
	But right now, I'm going to look at it.
	Servile fear can't defeat that.
	Filial fear can, because then when you start to look at it, you start to realize this is an abominable offense to Christ.
	I'm not looking at it anymore.
	Amen.
	Well, I want to say thank you, Mr. Liss.
	Thank you, Paul.
	It's been a pleasure speaking with you.
	I really enjoyed the conversation.
	It was very interesting.
	Again, people go to readmountdoom.com to get your book.
	And of course, is there any other place people can find you?
	Do you have a YouTube channel or a Rumble channel or any type of...
	You could go see my young friend and I, Joe Gallagher, has started a podcast called Analog with Joe and Paul.
	And the algorithm hates us because what we're trying to do is spread some wisdom out there, particularly for young people.
	You can go there or read Mount Doom.
	You can look at our that's our webpage and whatever.
	So that's what I have right now.
	Eventually, I've got a sub stack, and I guess I understand I'm on Twitter, but I don't use any of this stuff.
	All right, Mr. List, it was a pleasure.
	Thank you for joining us.
	Thank you to the listeners.
	We'll be back tomorrow.
	God bless you all.

	The Common Man.
	They created Common Core to dumb down our children.
	They created Common Past to track and control us.
	Their Commons project to make sure the Commoners own nothing in the Communist Future.
	They see the Common Man as simple, unsophisticated, ordinary.
	But each of us has worth and dignity created in the image of God.
	That is what we have in common.
	That is what they want to take away.
	Their most powerful weapons are isolation, deception, intimidation.
	They desire to know everything about us while they hide everything from us.
	It's time to turn that around and expose what they want to hide.
	Please share the information and links you'll find at the DavidNightshow.com.
	Thank you for listening.
	Thank you for sharing.
	If you can't support us financially, please keep us in your prayers.
