	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 Monday, the 11th of August, year of Our Lord 2025.
	We've had RFK Jr. come out and give kind of a limited hangout about the mRNA vaccine, saying, well, you know, they're just not good for respiratory viruses.
	Well, what are they good for, RFK?
	But apparently Trump didn't get the memo when asked about it.
	He just started boasting about warp speed.
	We also had an attack on a CD on the CDC by a gunman.
	It's apparently over a COVID vaccine injury.
	Stay with us.
	Welcome and good morning.
	Hope you all had a good weekend.
	It's...
	Uh...
	Well, that's if you believe in such things, but even by their own standard, if it's not good for a respiratory virus, how could it be good for any virus?
	Wouldn't they all behave largely the same way, assuming they're real at all?
	But of course, Donald Trump, as I said, did nothing but say, well, the warp speed was a magnificent thing.
	It was wonderful.
	It's agreed that it's probably one of the most amazing thing that's ever happened in this country.
	But I want to start with what happened with the gunman.
	This is from Zero Hedge.
	Enraged over purported COVID vax injury, gunman attacks CDC and kills a cop.
	This is more of the ongoing frustration and anger that people have, that they were lied to and forced to take this poison.
	That people trusted the people in power and are now suffering with these long-lasting, possibly permanent side effects.
	The George, the Georgia Bureau of Investigation has identified the shooter as 30-year-old Patrick Joseph White of Kennesaw, Georgia.
	A little is known about him yet, but neighbors have confirmed earlier reports that White was angry about the COVID-19 vaccine, having concluded it caused him to suffer from some kind of illness.
	One described him as having done yard work in the neighborhood and expressed surprise in the news selling Fox 5.
	I was like, there's no way.
	Not the kind of person I would thought to do that.
	Again, this is the simmering anger, the building frustration that people have.
	But it's also a sign of the futility of these sorts of acts.
	The CDC remains unharmed, and all he did was kill a cop.
	A police officer is dead after a surgical mask wearing gunman riddled the Atlanta headquarters of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention with Bullets.
	His parents think it was an act of revenge saying their son believed he had an illness caused by the controversial COVID-19 vaccine.
	The attack ended with the shooter's own death, but it's unclear at this point if his mortal wound was self-inflicted.
	I feel so bad for the officer that was killed and this man that was suffering from this.
	The fact that he felt this was his only recourse.
	This is tragic, but also tragically predictable with the amount of people that have been injured with this in some way.
	Someone is going to get really angry with it and respond in an irrational way.
	Especially with the way they refuse to address it at all.
	They just keep doubling down.
	The censorship and the propaganda gets worse.
	They refuse to admit any wrongdoing.
	But people aren't stupid.
	They know.
	The CDC campus did receive multiple rounds into their buildings.
	Four buildings were actually hit.
	He was armed with two handguns, a rifle, and a shotgun.
	He was wearing what appeared to be a surgical mask, and of course we know for a fact those aren't effective at all, like those the CDC pushed for all men and women and children to wear during the COVID-19 scam demic.
	Despite well-informed doubts about their efficacy and concerns about ill effects, he was also wearing ear protection.
	The shooter's father had called the police prior to the shooting earlier on Friday to report that his son was suicidal.
	Floyd members also, family members also told investigators that the shooter was either physically ill or believed or at least believed he was physically ill.
	He was convinced that his malady resulted from a COVID-19 vaccine.
	It appears the shooter never entered the CDC buildings, choosing only to shoot at them from below.
	Many vehicles were also shot.
	Beyond the fatal shooting of the officer, no other people were shot, though four went to a hospital to be treated for stress and anxiety symptoms.
	The apparently vaccine-related attack came in the same week that Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced he was killing a half billion dollars in funding for development of mRNA vaccines, such as those deployed developed by Pfizer Moderna for COVID-19.
	Kennedy said MRNA technology poses more risks than benefits for these respiratory viruses.
	Again, why would it just be the respiratory viruses?
	Under Kennedy's leadership, the CDC retracted its recommendation for universal COVID-19 immunization for healthy children through age 17 and healthy pregnant women.
	Of course, they still haven't banned the poison.
	While it wouldn't have helped the CDC shooter, Kennedy in July announced he's going to overhaul the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program.
	No one is helping the warp speed victims.
	Under the VICP vaccine victims competition for compensation to the so-called vaccine court, which pays out awards from a trust fund endowed by a 75% surcharge on every vaccine.
	Of course, billions have been paid out, billions upon billions of dollars, despite the fact they make it nearly impossible to get a judgment in your favor.
	Despite the fact they make it nearly impossible to get a doctor to actually admit that this was vaccine caused.
	And they're still paying out billions upon billions.
	The structure itself, the structure itself hobbles claimants that offended as HHS, not the vaccine makers.
	And claimants are therefore facing the monumental power in bottomless pockets of the U.S. government.
	There's no discovery and the rules of evidence do not apply.
	The government lawyers do not allow children's attorneys to access the vaccine safety data link.
	As I said, they make it incredibly difficult to get a judgment, and they're still paying out billions of dollars.
	That's because sometimes the injury is so severe and the link so obvious, they're forced to.
	Of course, only a small number of people relative to the population know about this at all.
	Many people have no clue.
	The American public's confidence in the COVID vaccinations, or you could say Trump shots or bioweapon shots, continues to erode, according to July survey.
	59% of U.S. adults say they will never, definitely not, or probably not receive a vaccine this fall, with just 21% saying they definitely will.
	Many also have a dim view of federal health agencies.
	Only 42% believe they make decisions based on a sound scientific basis, and only 37% confident they operate free of corrupting outside influences.
	And it raises the question: how could this many people be so naive?
	Every once in a while, I'll stumble onto a post on Facebook or something like that about, you know, healthcare or the vaccine or COVID.
	And if it's free to the public, as a general rule, there's quite a few people in there that are saying, well, this is poison.
	You know, this is bad.
	But in certain groups, certain groups, they are still so heavily entrenched in the propaganda, they are completely and utterly incapable of thinking that it was bad for them.
	Recently, I saw a post trying to explain to healthcare officials about, oh, well, you still need to get the vaccine and wear masks because you can be an asymptomatic carrier.
	And in the comments section, there's just dozens, hundreds, of mostly women, because of the propaganda, saying, yes, you absolutely have to do this.
	Oh, thank you for doing this.
	We've never stopped masking.
	We've never stopped.
	Me and my boyfriend, her husband, both got the vaccine, but we still got the virus.
	But I can only imagine how much worse it would have been if we didn't get the vaccine.
	And these are the type of people you're dealing with.
	They are not capable of being reached.
	They will wear a mask forever now.
	Zoxav Aksaz, government will jab and gaslight you to death.
	When you react, they make like they're innocent and your suffering is all in your head.
	Yeah.
	No, we didn't do this.
	This is your own fault.
	You're the crazy person.
	A Syrian girl, and these days, when insurance company CEOs are shot because of perceived evils of insurance companies, it is sadly predictable that CDC will become a target for those who have been harmed.
	Yeah.
	We have the quote from John F. Kennedy: Those that make peaceful revolution impossible make violent revolution inevitable.
	I'm paraphrasing it slightly, but that's the gist of it.
	And that is what we are seeing.
	They are making peaceful revolution impossible.
	They are doubling down.
	No, we didn't do anything wrong.
	The vaccine is perfectly safe.
	We have this from vaccine impact.
	Did HHS Secretary Kennedy really ban mRNA vaccines?
	Trump fails to confirm and instead boasts about Operation Warp Speed.
	That's what I was talking about.
	Came out and said, well, you know, actually, Operation Warp Speed was a wonder.
	People still talk about it.
	Let's play that video for you.
	You were the driving force behind Operation Warp Speed, these mRNA vaccines that are the gold standard.
	Now your health secretary is pulling back all the funding for research.
	He's saying that the risks outweigh the benefits, which puts him at odds with the entire medical community and with you.
	What is going on?
	Research on what?
	Into mRNA vaccines.
	Well, we're going to look at that.
	We're talking about it, and they're doing a very good job.
	And, you know, that is a past.
	Operation Warp Speed was, whether you're Republican or Democrat, considered one of the most incredible things ever done in this country.
	The efficiency, the way it was done, the distribution, everything about it has been amazing.
	But, you know, that was now a long time ago.
	And we're on to other things.
	But we are speaking about it.
	We have meetings about it tomorrow, actually, tomorrow at 12 o'clock.
	And we'll determine.
	We're looking for other answers to other problems, to other sicknesses and diseases.
	And I think we're doing really well.
	Yes, Mr. Regina, Mr. President.
	I think we're doing Really well.
	We're looking for other solutions.
	That's as far as he'll go.
	He still has to toot his own horn.
	No, it was wonderful.
	It was a marvel.
	Of course, he'll never stomp.
	He'll never stop.
	He's probably going to want, as my dad says, father of the vaccine on his tombstone.
	Secretary of HHS Kennedy announced this week that the Trump administration was withdrawing contracts with BARDA that totaled $500 million for developing mRNA vaccines.
	And of course, Trump's CDC director, Mr. Barda.
	And his specialty is AI and mRNA.
	Both the corporate media and alternative media, which could largely be described as MAGA media at this point, have reacted very strongly to this announcement, claiming that the government has now stopped funding all mRNA vaccines, that their reactions were polar.
	But their reactions were polar opposites from horrified by the pharma-funded corporate media to overjoyed by the alternative media.
	Both sides are wrong in their assumption that all funding for mRNA shots was ending.
	Now, you can listen to what they say here.
	This is what RFK Jr. actually said.
	Hi, it's Robert F. Kennedy Jr. here, your HHS secretary.
	At HHS, we have a division called the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority, or BARDA.
	BARDA drives some of our most advanced scientific research.
	It funds developments of vaccines, drugs, diagnostics, and other tools to fight emerging diseases and national health threats.
	Over the past few weeks, BARDA reviewed 22 mRNA vaccine development investments and began canceling them.
	Let me explain why.
	Most of these shots are for flu or COVID, but as the pandemic showed us, mRNA vaccines don't perform well against viruses that infect the upper respiratory tract.
	Here's the problem: mRNA only codes for a small part of the viral proteins, usually a single antigen.
	One mutation, and the vaccine becomes ineffective.
	This dynamic drives a phenomena called antigenic shift, meaning that the vaccine paradoxically encourages new mutations and can actually prolong pandemics as the virus constantly mutates to escape the protective effects of the vaccine.
	Millions of people, maybe even you or someone you know, caught the Omicron variant despite being vaccinated.
	That's because a single mutation can make mRNA vaccines ineffective.
	The same risk applies to flu.
	After reviewing the science and consulting top experts at NIH and FDA, HHS has determined that mRNA technology poses more risk than benefits for these respiratory viruses.
	That's why after extensive review, BARDA has begun the process of terminating these 22 contracts totaling just under $500 million.
	To replace the troubled mRNA programs, we're prioritizing the development of safer, broader vaccine strategies, like whole virus vaccines and novel platforms that don't collapse when viruses mutate.
	Let me be absolutely clear.
	HHS supports safe, effective vaccines for every American who wants them.
	That's why we're moving beyond the limitations of mRNA for respiratory viruses and investing in better solutions.
	Thank you.
	Produced by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
	As I said, this is a limited hangout.
	They're only, you know, it's only ineffective for upper respiratory viruses for some reason.
	But if you actually go by their own logic, by what they say viruses are and that they exist, surely they would all behave this way.
	And they'd be useless for all viruses, right?
	The money is just being redirected to develop other vaccines.
	Mr. Kennedy wants more vaccines, not less.
	He's not doing what he said he would do, is he?
	They just have to be safe vaccines, according to him.
	Of course, that's kind of an oxymoron, isn't it?
	We've seen over and over again that there is no such thing as a safe vaccine, especially not for children.
	When you're injecting these diseases at minimum, even if you don't have any adjuvants in there directly past their immune system through their skin, it can still cause issues.
	Of course, safe vaccines do not exist.
	When the Supreme Court heard a case in the past challenging the 1984 National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act, passed into law by President Reagan, they ruled that vaccines were unavoidably unsafe and kept the act in place.
	Una safe.
	But no, we're keeping the act.
	The vaccine cult believes that the known benefits outweigh the risks.
	Really, they say they know better.
	They don't believe.
	They know better than anyone else.
	Vaccines can never be proven to be effective because they are injected into humans before they contract the disease as a preventative measure.
	They have no way of testing.
	And they're never tested for efficacy.
	So while Kennedy proudly announced this week that the Trump administration was canceling these MRNA vaccines and BARDA was working on because MRNA vaccines are not good according to Kennedy's statement, he's actually approved new mRNA vaccines already since he has been in office, including COVID-19 MRNA vaccines.
	Of course, so has the USDA.
	Gonna start injecting your food with mRNA or spraying it on top of it.
	So how do we know if what Kennedy announced about these BARDA MRNA vaccines being canceled is even true or not?
	Earlier this year, back in May, Secretary Kennedy Jr., flanked by Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, Director of the National Institute of Health, and Dr. Marty McCary, U.S. Food and Drug Administration Commissioner, announced on Musk's X platform that the CDC was no longer recommending COVID vaccines for healthy children and pregnant women.
	However, anyone visiting the CDC website and viewing their childhood vaccine schedule could clearly see that they were still recommending them.
	Even when the CDC did not update their website after this announcement, there was still no withdrawal of the recommendation to inject COVID-19 vaccines into every person in the U.S. above the age of six months.
	It is monumentally wicked.
	The vaccine industry is, in my opinion, second only to the abortion industry in pure wickedness and what they do to children.
	As can be expected, the pharma-funded corporate media confronted Trump on this immediately.
	This is what Trump stated in response to the news about the MRNA vaccine development at BARDA was being halted by his administration.
	That's the video I played for you before.
	Trump waffling and saying, well, you know, warp speed was so wonderful.
	It was great.
	Everyone loved it.
	We'll have to.
	We're exploring other avenues.
	Not only did Trump confirm that this has not happened, saying that we're going to look at that, he went on to talk about Operation Warp Speed and how proud he was of that military campaign against Americans, which weaponized Pfizer and Moderna's COVID-19 MRNA vaccines that harmed millions of Americans.
	He's so proud of it, in fact.
	It took that country and western singer, country singer, I don't remember the guy's name, coming up to Trump saying, why do you keep bringing this up?
	The base hates it.
	You got to stop talking about it.
	It's bad optics.
	KWD68 says Trump doesn't like being asked about his warp speed death juice.
	No, I imagine not.
	If you're going to say anything, you just have to praise him for the efficiency he ruled it out with.
	That's right.
	It's efficient when you are able to poison millions upon millions of people in America and across the globe.
	He did it with remarkable efficiency.
	Well, even though if he doesn't like being asked about it, he likes to brag about what he did.
	I think it depends on how you ask.
	Do people honestly believe that Pfizer CO Borla and Moderna CO Bancell, the world's two top pharma companies developing MRNA vaccines will allow this to happen?
	Seems like MAGA does.
	No, they're going to stop it.
	Then, this Thursday, Mr. Kennedy's handler, U.S. Senator and pediatrician Dr. Bill Cassidy, whom Kennedy Allegedly must check in with every week also came out publicly against Kennedy.
	He also played the China card.
	After RFK Jr. ends vaccine funding, Louisiana Bill Cassidy says cuts don't fit Trump agenda.
	That's right, they don't fit Trump's agenda.
	We got to keep funding these vaccines.
	Senator Bill Cassidy is admonishing Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
	Decision to cancel about $500 million in vaccine research.
	One of his first public conflicts with Kennedy since helping him win confirmation to the job.
	It is unfortunate that the Secretary just canceled half a billion dollars worth of work, wasting the money which is already invested.
	He has also conceded to China an import technology needed to combat cancer and infectious diseases.
	This is incompatible with what Donald Trump wants with the Trump agenda.
	We've got to keep funding these vaccines.
	Cassidy joined a chorus of criticism by physicians and healthcare experts.
	The entire Congress is currently on summer recess, so it appears that Kennedy sneaked this in to grab some headlines while everyone else was on vacation.
	Look for a report any day now in the corporate news, maybe even later today quoting officials, maybe even Barta itself stating this is not happening.
	Nobody in US politics can stand up to Big Pharma, and I mean nobody.
	I agree.
	Big Pharma there are certain entities that get to dictate what our government does.
	Big Pharma is one of them, APAC is another.
	We'll be talking about that later as well.
	But Kennedy can now wring his hands together and tell his maha supporters, Well, I tried, but the deep state opposed me.
	Ha ha, not maha.
	Ha ha.
	They're laughing in your face.
	Kennedy did not succeed in getting the Democratic nomination for POTUS, so he tried to join Kamala Harris's campaign looking for a job.
	When she didn't want him, Trump picked him up off the Harris campaign trash heap and promised him the HHS Secretary job if he could get his followers and supporters through children's health defense to vote for him.
	So Kennedy serves at the pleasure of the president, and Trump's pleasure is more MRNA vaccine than a desire for Operation Warp Speed II.
	This time probably somehow involving AI.
	Operation Warp Speed II Kennedy clearly shows that he is the most corrupt member of the Kennedy family and was raised as a rich, privileged white boy who is a heroin and sex addict.
	Lots of parallels to Hunter Biden there.
	He and his previous wife Mary Richardson are also in the Epstein's black book.
	Nobody in their right mind, including other members of the Kennedy family, ever dreamed that he could hold public office.
	Of course, Trump doesn't care about any of that.
	Probably sees it as a benefit because it gives him more leverage.
	Well, remember, if you turn on me, if you do anything I don't want, I'll just start talking about all the issues.
	I'll throw you aside, and then I'll make sure that everyone knows about this.
	American public voted for Trump to be back in office even after he killed and maimed millions of Americans with his Operation Warp Speed campaign.
	He is now also convicted felon and the first felon to hold the office of POTUS.
	He was also a known associate, associate and friend of Jeffrey Epstein and his child trafficking network.
	If conservative Christians can support and love Trump, then it is no surprise that many of them love mister Kennedy as well as long as they like the words coming out of his mouth.
	They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths.
	Second Timothy four.
	That's what we see.
	There's a mythological version of Donald Trump that people seem to love.
	This idealized version that doesn't exist, that one that promises he's going to fix America.
	He's going to solve all our problems.
	He's going to fix the economy, he's going to solve illegal immigration.
	And when that doesn't happen, people don't really care because they still have the myth to look at.
	Why be bothered by reality?
	Chambers Nancy, several friends in my prayer group say they have Convid this week and they are all vaxed and have Convid again.
	They're all scared and probably will get vaxed again no matter how much I've told them.
	I'm the one who's crazy.
	Yeah.
	We see that sort of thing happening.
	Like I said, on that post that came across my feed in the comments, in just a few I scrolled because I couldn't bear to look at many of them.
	There was at least four different people saying, yeah, we both got the vaccine, but we still got the virus.
	We still got COVID.
	But thankfully, you know, we were vaccinated, so it probably wasn't as bad as it could have been.
	That's the level of delusion these people have.
	The level of delusion that we're dealing with.
	My entire life, all I've heard was, you have to get vaccinated so you don't get these diseases.
	And then COVID rolls around, they immediately switch it to, well, you know, it'll reduce the severity.
	I don't remember ever hearing that in my lifetime before this.
	Not once.
	Pesavante, 177 Pezonovante.
	I've been mispronouncing it this entire time.
	My apologies.
	1776.
	I have family who Facebooked their children getting the touring how their kids were doing their part.
	That is.
	I feel so sorry for those children.
	And just the idea of recording that simply for social clout.
	That's.
	That's what that was about.
	This.
	Oh, well, you know, this will show that we're good little citizens.
	People will praise us for this.
	I find that disgusting.
	Assyrian girl, wouldn't all vaccines cause the same increased mutation factor and viruses?
	Maybe RFKJ is slowly moving toward a noble goal.
	I pray that is true.
	We can hope.
	I wouldn't hold your breath on that account.
	Yeah, I wouldn't hold my breath.
	It's possible, but not likely.
	Very, very slim chance.
	I wondered the same thing, but I don't believe it to be true.
	I would like to see that eventually.
	And the truth is, anyone with a brain who hears that could make that same conclusion.
	It's that, well, you know, if they don't, if the vaccines don't work and cause mutations, and then the virus, it's no longer effective.
	Wouldn't that be the same for all vaccines?
	Anyone with a brain should be able to make that logical leap.
	But we'll wait and see.
	As Lance said, don't hold your breath.
	I handy, I go back to RFK's day one promise.
	We're not taking away anyone's vaccines.
	Yeah, he's not really doing anything.
	He's got Red 40 out of the way.
	Hooray.
	KWD68, if you ever want to witness the level of indoctrination, many MAGA are not, check out the chat for the Bernie Cunningham Rumble this afternoon.
	It's both sad and hilarious.
	I have never even heard of that guy.
	It's amazing how many different MAGA grifters there are.
	There's so many of them, you can't possibly know them all.
	It's there's a large, large audience for people that want to suck up to Trump.
	Maybe that's what we need to do, you know?
	Have a secondary show that comes on after this.
	We'll get a little VTuber avatar, change a voice changer, and we'll just praise Trump constantly.
	Grift these suckers out of some money.
	No, we're not going to do that.
	CDC shooter blame COVID vaccine for depression.
	Union demands statement against misinformation.
	Of course, we can assume, we can basically know for certain the CDC is only going to double down on the propaganda and censorship.
	As I said, they're going to make peaceful change impossible.
	They're not going to allow anyone to make any statements.
	They'll simply say this guy was crazy.
	That, you know, he bought into some right-wing conspiracy theory about the vaccines, and therefore it's the fault of people like us here.
	Someone, maybe he read it online, or maybe he heard it from a friend that the COVID vaccine caused certain injuries.
	Maybe someone told him that's likely what happened and it's their fault.
	It's not going to be the CDC's fault.
	It's not going to be the fault of Trump or warp speed.
	A union representing CDC workers demanded the agency condemn vaccine misinformation citing months of vilification toward staff.
	Yes, don't criticize the mass murderers that were, you know, given warp speed, given the ability to do whatever they want under Donald Trump.
	Crack down on the people that are reporting on it.
	This is another article that kind of dovetails into the shooting.
	And it's kind of a commentary on the times we're living in.
	One in five Britons say they are willing to engage in political violence to stop national decline.
	One in five.
	Again, they're making peaceful change impossible.
	The increasingly tense political climate in Britain has a large majority concerned that violence will break out, and one in five saying that they are willing to turn to violence if the country continues to decline.
	Remember, that is if.
	But the real question is: is it an if?
	The politicians they have there are no better than ours.
	Some of them may be even worse if that's possible.
	It's not really an if the country is going to keep declining.
	It is a certainty.
	According to a survey of 2,000 adults in the UK, by looking for growth in Merlin, by looking for growth and Merlin strategy, Merlin strategy, 70% of the country are worried that Britain is on the precipice of political violence erupting, the new statesman reported.
	There's never been a better time for Arthur to finally return.
	It must happen.
	Perhaps more concerningly, one-fifth of respondents, 21%, said that political violence is sometimes justified and nearly as many, 19% said they would personally be willing to engage in political violence of the state or the country, the state of the country continues to worsen.
	Survey found that supporters of Nigel Farage's Reform UK Party were the most likely to agree that political violence is sometimes necessary at 32%.
	This was followed by Green Party voters, 24% of whom agreed with the sentiment.
	Separately, the poll found that a plurality of Britons, 47%, agree that it is acceptable to protest outside migrant hotels, while 44% opposed.
	Again, a significant cohort believe that it is even acceptable to riot outside migrant hotels at 14%, including 19% of reform voters.
	I don't understand how anyone could disagree that it's fine to protest outside these hotels.
	No, you can't protest outside the hotels of these wonderful immigrants we've got, these wonderful people that have showed up here that are raping our women and children.
	You're not allowed to do that.
	It's also phrased in a kind of stupid way.
	Like, obviously, there are points at which political violence is justified.
	For instance, I don't think anyone would argue against North Korea is the thing that everyone likes to point to as a tyrannical state.
	No one would argue that political violence is unjustified in that context.
	It's just scary that they're already feeling that that's their only option in Britain.
	Which means that it is coming here soon.
	You can see the level of disaffection and anger that there is with our current system.
	When that healthcare CEO got shot by, allegedly got shot by Luigi Mangion, you saw that most people didn't care.
	At most, the general consensus was apathy, followed by a lot of people going, good.
	And that's what we're dealing with.
	People are tired of the system.
	They realize it's rigged against them.
	They realize that these people at the top are not their friends, that they have it, that they're the ones who have rigged the system.
	And recently, I forget where it was, but there was a woman that got shot, and they portrayed her as just a worker from some hedge fund company or wealth management company.
	But she was actually one of the people at the very top.
	I think the reason they didn't announce who she was is because they didn't want another outcome like that.
	They didn't want to have to admit that she's one of the people that has been buying up all these houses, making housing completely unaffordable, buying people out and making it so that you can't own a home.
	Because how can you compete with places like BlackRock or Vanguard when they're able to come in and offer over-asking price in cash?
	They didn't want more people to go good.
	Why Britain arrests 30 people every day for speech?
	Lord Toby Young, founder of the Free Speech Union, discusses the UK's Online Safety Act and its implications for free speech.
	He traces the act's origins to a moral panic over children's exposure to harmful online content like self-harm sites and pornography initially introduced under Theresa May's government and expanded under Boris Johnson.
	Young criticizes it as overly broad, leading to excessive content removal by platforms fearing massive fines or jail time for executives.
	Young warns of broader threats to free expression, including over 30 daily arrests for speech offenses and a quarter million non-crime hate incidents recorded in recent years.
	Often for online posts challenging government narratives on immigration or gender issues or something like big pharma.
	How can you claim to have free speech in your country and have non-crime hate issues?
	Non-crime hate.
	Well, he was very rude.
	He was very short with me.
	Things like pharma or Israel here in the USA.
	That's what'll get you in trouble.
	Overall, Young portrays the UK as sliding toward authoritarian censorship, prioritizing safety over liberty, and stifling open debate.
	And of course, he's right.
	Gotta keep people safe.
	Well, we can't have people commenting negatively about the migrants.
	Yeah, I know they're raping and murdering and committing knife crimes and stabbing young girls at Taylor Swift concerts.
	But hey, that's just the price you pay, right?
	But if you say something negative about it, you say something kind of mean about it on Facebook.
	Police are going to come to your door.
	466 arrests in London.
	Is UK free speech under threat?
	I think you could say that.
	I don't think that's really even a question at this point.
	On Saturday, the Metropolitan Police in London detained 466 protesters, the most arrests made in any single operation for over a decade, under the Terrorism Act for supporting Palestine action.
	This headline is almost like a parody.
	There's been mass arrests for speech.
	Is speech under a threat?
	Are we attacking speech with these mass arrests for it?
	It's really getting my noggin jogging.
	However, the crackdown has reignited debate over whether the UK is sliding closer to a heavy-handed suppression of dissent dressed up as national security.
	Further fueled by the recent escalation of the Online Safety Act.
	The first arrest began around 1 p.m. on Saturday, 9th of August, with a man holding a sign reading, I support Palestine action.
	Action escalated soon after, and the hundreds of arrests included elderly people, a blind man in a wheelchair, and teenagers, all of whom were protesting peacefully.
	You gotta get that blind guy in the wheelchair.
	He's a real threat.
	You never know what he could be up to.
	All 466 reported anti-terrorism detainees were peaceful protesters.
	Sky News reported that everyone present had indeed expected to be arrested, but felt compelled to speak out and defend their right to protest, often feeling guided by their faith and conscience.
	Amnesty International called it deeply concerning.
	Stating the protesters in Parliament Square were not inciting violence, and it is entirely well.
	YouTube bans prominent Zelensky critic.
	This is from Russia.
	YouTube has removed the 2 million subscriber account of exiled Ukrainian journalist of the year Diana Ponchenko, a fierce critic of Vladimir Zelensky.
	YouTube just banned her and erased her account.
	She had 2 million followers, he wrote.
	Her most dangerous weapon is truth.
	I wonder if she's been debanked.
	Does she still have PayPal?
	What's going on?
	Of course.
	Lasted a few years longer than we did.
	Yeah.
	The censorship when it comes to war, whether it's Gaza or Ukraine, is something you expect to see.
	They can't have people telling the truth about it.
	Got some comments?
	A seminar caller update on David.
	He is doing better.
	We ask that you do keep praying for him.
	Pray that it would be healed fully.
	We're working on getting it set up so he can come back.
	We're trying, we're going to rearrange the studio and get it set up so it's easier for people.
	But that's something we're working on.
	It's just a lot of work.
	But David is doing better and he will be back soon.
	We're purchasing desks and cameras and things to completely rearrange the studio for the people that are asking.
	And I believe the plan is going to take Friday off to have three days to completely rearrange everything.
	Yeah, the studio is a giant rat's nest of wires and cables and things, so it's a monumental task to redo it.
	So we'll want to start Friday and hopefully, hopefully have it done by Monday when we do get it done.
	And so we're working on it, and he'll be back soon.
	Hopefully next Monday.
	That's the goal.
	Next Monday is the goal to have him back in the studio, and we're going to do everything we can to make that happen.
	It's simply a matter of, again, getting everything and getting it set up correctly.
	He would be joining live for part of the show at first and then do more and more of it.
	But hopefully back Monday and, you know, as Lance said, doing more of the show as time goes on.
	Defy Tyrant 1776.
	Government admitted after they achieved their 70% jab goal that jabs wouldn't prevent you from getting COVID or spread it, yet the sheep are still getting jabbed.
	Now that is a strong delusion.
	Yeah.
	People, I truly don't understand the reasoning behind it.
	But we aren't dealing with the best and the brightest.
	Generally, it's a coalition of people that are kind of dumb and easy to manipulate that absorb the propaganda very, very well.
	Douged a 007, they conveniently waited until the majority of people took the jab to mention that it didn't work.
	Yeah, oops, sorry, by the way.
	Doesn't work as advertised.
	No refunds.
	Pizzanovante 1776 and people like Alan Dershowitz wanted to force you to take the poison, which was ineffective except for maiming and killing people.
	That's right.
	He was going to drag you out of your house and force you to be injected.
	He would argue before the Supreme Court and he'd win, he said.
	Well, I'm not so sure if he'd be able to win.
	Alan Dershowitz can't even get a pierogi vendor to bend the knee, so perhaps he doesn't have the skills he once did.
	Wisconsin lawmaker wants schools to inform parents about their rights to vaccine exemptions and how to obtain them.
	Wisconsin State Rep Lindy Brill plans to introduce a bill that would require schools, childcare centers, and nurseries to inform parents and legal guardians about the right to request a vaccine exemption for their children.
	Brill said the process for obtaining an exemption is now too vague and difficult.
	They make it very, very hard.
	When the COVID vaccines were going around and everyone was trying to get an exemption, it was very, very difficult.
	They didn't want you to have that.
	The letter that Jason Barker put together that people used as a template to write their own was very helpful for people.
	In a July 21 press release, Brill said that while Wisconsin parents already have the right to opt their children out of the vaccination requirements for medical, religious, or personal reasons, the process is unclear.
	Many parents are unaware of this right and are unclear about how to obtain that waiver and feel pressured to make medical decisions for their children that they otherwise would not.
	The press release stated, of course, it's even more important, or at least just as, to opt out of the school system.
	If you're sending your child to school, they will undoubtedly start making decisions About them for you.
	And they'll start brainwashing them.
	If you're going to opt out of the vaccines, you obviously care about your children and you should therefore opt out of the entire school system because they will do just as much damage as the vaccines themselves.
	The school system is a propaganda machine.
	It is designed to turn them into good little drones that never question the government system.
	And they're remarkably effective at it.
	We're going to take a quick break.
	When we come back, we're going to take a look at what's going on with the ADL and Zionism.
	There.
	Well, stay with us.
	We'll be right back.

	Welcome back, folks.
	Glad you're still here.
	As I said, we're going to talk about the ADL.
	I see Guard Goldsmith is in chat.
	Good to see you, Gard.
	Hope you're doing well.
	I meant to respond to the text that you sent, and I will after the show, I promise.
	I'm horrible at responding to texts.
	I see them come in, and I think I'll get to that, and then something gets in the way.
	Anti-racist ADL CEO Jonathan Greenblatt laments rising intermarriage rates among Jews.
	That's right.
	The bloodline isn't being kept pure enough for Greenblatt's liking.
	He's not happy about it.
	And in fact, we have that clip.
	So let's take a look at it.
	Let's see.
	Right here.
	Is it your sense that Jewish people are getting complacent, that they're not engaging to the degrees and levels we should be?
	I have met a lot of October 8th Jews who for whom the mask on October 7th was a wake-up call.
	I've met a lot of people who feel much more galvanized, much more organized.
	But that will only be sustained if we offer them ways to participate in a real and robust way in Jewish.
	And whose responsibility is that?
	All of ours.
	But this is why we need a revolution in our community on so many levels.
	So look, the reality is that intermarriage rates continue to go up.
	Assimilation continues apace.
	And look, I fight anti-Semitism.
	That is my job.
	But I worry a great deal about broader questions of Jewish identity, as I think we talked about over lunch.
	I worry about the broader questions of Jewish identity.
	No, we can't have people intermarrying because that might make them somehow less Jewish.
	They might move away from this identity.
	Anti-Defamation League CEO Jonathan Greenblatt in interview with the Jewish newspaper, the Alge Minor, released on Thursday, lamented that intermarriage rates are continuing to rise among Jews.
	Turns out his anti-racist shtick only goes so far.
	That's from Chris Moynihan, and you can find him on Twitter at InfolibNews.
	I guess it's X now.
	No one's ever going to call it that, though.
	Really have to wonder if he would feel the same about other races mixing or if it's just Jews.
	I get the feeling.
	Yeah, I get the feeling he would have no problem with a mass immigration of everyone from the third world into every Western country and the dilution and destruction of all those bloodlines.
	However, when it's his people, it becomes an issue.
	Algeminer's David Cohen, is it your sense that Jewish people are getting complacent?
	They're not engaging to degrees and levels we should be.
	Of course, this is from that video.
	He says, I met a lot of October 8th Jews.
	Personally, I find that to be a Jewish on October 8th.
	There's something mystical about that date.
	It turned Jewish for a single day.
	The ADL is the leading anti-racist and anti-hate group in the country.
	And those are both in quotes because they're neither of those things.
	They're both heavily racist and very hateful.
	Decry's opposition to intermarriage on their website and even has an entire curriculum for American school children encouraging intermarriage titled Winning the Right to Marry: Historic Parallels.
	But not when it's the Jewish people.
	Not when it's his own people.
	You can see that there, the case for loving, the fight for interracial marriage.
	And then down further, hate symbol, no race mixing.
	You can see that a black man and a white woman silhouette there.
	White supremacists fear and hate the concept of multiracial couples, relationships, or families, believing that such relationships pollute the pure white race.
	As a result, a fairly common white supremacist symbol depicts a multiracial couple or family with a red circle/slash bar superimposed over the depiction indicating that such relationships ought to be prohibited.
	Evidently, the ADL's vocal support for intermarriage doesn't apply to Jews.
	We see that over and over again.
	What's good for you is not good for me.
	Rules for thee, but not for me.
	Very obsessed with keeping the bloodline pure.
	U.S. Attorney for D.C. Janine Pirow, we're going to look for anti-Semitism cases to prosecute.
	You're saying naughty things about the Jews.
	You're saying things we don't like.
	Well, we're going to prosecute that.
	And of course, the definition of anti-Semitism is pretty broad, isn't it?
	Hate crime definitions always are.
	And it seems to cover any criticism of Netanyahu's government.
	If you're making comments.
	If you're making comments about Zionism and the genocide in Gaza, chances are you could be found guilty under these laws.
	Chances are you could end up on the wrong end of a Prosecution.
	And of course, the definition of anti-Semitism has gotten broader and broader as time goes on.
	I don't know how many of you are still on Twitter, but Grok has gone completely insane.
	I wanted to show you guys some of this, but I wasn't really able to get it.
	But there's an account on Twitter.
	And everything, anytime this guy posts something, people go in and like, Grok, analyze this to see if there's some white supremacist or hateful meaning to it.
	He posted a picture of clouds with the caption, everywhere you go, they follow.
	You know, just a kind of a schizophrenic joke.
	You're like, oh man, the clouds are following me.
	And Grok analyzed it and said, this is obviously an anti-Semitic dog whistle saying they, that's often used when they're talking about Jews.
	People will say they without wanting to name them.
	And Grok is now saying that's anti-Semitism.
	Grok has gone completely insane.
	And basically, anything you post, if you ask it to analyze it, can be interpreted as a far-right, anti-Semitic, white supremacist dog whistle.
	It's hilarious how the pendulum keeps on ticking back and forth between extreme left-leaning ideologies and extreme right-wing ideologies.
	Grok is now Mecca rabbi.
	Everything is an anti-Semitic dog whistle.
	We've got Mecca Greenblatt.
	Just when you thought one was bad enough, they built a robo Greenblatt.
	As I said, U.S. Attorney for D.C., Jeanine Piro, we're going to look for anti-Semitism cases to prosecute.
	Former Fox News host Jeanine Pirro swiftly, after being approved by the Senate to become U.S. Attorney for D.C., announced Thursday that she'll be working together with the feds and police to look for anti-Semitism cases to prosecute with a vengeance.
	We have a problem with anti-Semitism in this country, Pirro said.
	FBI, the MPD, we're going to look for these cases.
	We're going to prosecute these cases.
	I will go forward with every case with a vengeance.
	Let's take a look at that clip, actually.
	We have a problem with anti-Semitism in this country.
	Oh, yeah.
	Definitely.
	Look at the clown wearing that bow tie.
	So what does that mean?
	You know, what it means, if you can get from my tone, we're going to be very aggressive.
	You heard me.
	But you can't tell from her facial expressions because her face doesn't move.
	That's a lot of work she's had done.
	To the full force of the law.
	It's a problem when we're not going to tolerate it.
	Anti-Semitism has historically been one of the biggest scabs in the world that keeps getting picked on and picked at.
	So from my perspective, you know, I will go forward with every case with vengeance.
	Every case with vengeance.
	She's going to crack down on it.
	It sure sounds like a selective prosecution to benefit one single privileged group, does it not?
	This is from the article.
	The fact Trump's DOJ investigated the case of a Jewish student allegedly being minorly shoved by a white college girl at Florida State University makes it abundantly clear such selective prosecutions are being take are already taking place.
	Some of you may have seen that video.
	This girl, who's definitely a leftist liberal type, got very upset at this Jewish student.
	I don't know if he was wearing like an IDF t-shirt or something like that, but she shoved him and she got kicked out of school and got investigated.
	Really shows there is a there's two different levels of justice in the United States.
	We're seeing the same selective prosecution the way the Trump administration is targeting colleges throughout the country for alleged anti-Semitism as well as the way they're targeting critics of Israel for deportation.
	Of course, that's why it's important to demand habeas corpus for everyone.
	Due process for everyone.
	Yes, immigration is a problem and we need to get these people out of the country.
	However, if they're going to start deporting people for criticizing Israel, we're all in trouble.
	We're all going to end up in some Salvadoran prison or something like that.
	If we let them streamline this process and don't fight back against it, that's where it leads.
	Gonna drag you out and say, Well, you either have to kiss the wall or you end up in South America.
	ADL files complaint.
	Trump admin jumps into action to enforce their will yet again.
	ADL CEO Jonathan Greenblatt went from getting Trump banned off all social media in the wake of January 6th to getting Trump to enforce his will on all things anti-Semitism related just years later.
	This is once again by Chris Meynahan.
	It's now abundantly clear that the Trump administration is working together with the Anti-Defamation League to shut down criticism of Israel.
	I wonder why.
	What a strange thing to happen.
	Very odd.
	On Thursday, the Trump administration launched yet another anti-Semitism investigation in response to a complaint filed by the ADL, this time into Baltimore City public schools.
	This is why ADLCO Jonathan Greenblatt is now regularly showering Trump with praise.
	ADL CO Jonathan Greenblatt praises Donald Trump for combating anti-Semitism.
	Though he emboldened extremists during his 2016 campaign after taking office, he proceeded with policies like his executive order in 2019 on anti-Semitism that were precedent-making, said Greenblatt.
	It's once again from Chris Minahan on Twitter.
	ADL CEO Jonathan Greenblatt says he finds it nauseating when he hears people say Jews are the new Nazis or Trump is putting people in concentration camps.
	No, you can't say that.
	That's a very specific term.
	That's our term.
	Only we get to use it.
	It only refers to one specific time, one event in history.
	He says everyone must be careful not to diminish or deny the Holocaust.
	Then a minute later denies the Gaza genocide.
	One wouldn't even think it is possible, but somehow the Deogender Pambondi.
	Deogender Pambondi is even more Israel first than under Merrick Garland.
	Finds it nauseating.
	Well, maybe if they weren't behaving as such, people wouldn't be saying it.
	We've got some videos in the article.
	We can actually play those, so let's go ahead and roll some, see what they have to say.
	Flash forward to today, and I hear these claims that Israel is a Nazi state, that Jews are the new Nazis, that Trump is putting people in concentration camps and so on and so forth.
	It's nauseating to me, right?
	Because these things are, I think the comparisons are not just unhelpful, and they are.
	I think they drive and like cement the prejudices that are just lurking under the surface.
	They inflame what you're already describing as very much rooted in society, and it just kind of inflames and it just adds feel to the fire and it's right beyond.
	So we all have to be careful.
	They inflame things.
	Incredible, right?
	For sure.
	And language has consequences.
	Language has consequences.
	That's right.
	We can pause that.
	That's enough.
	That's enough from Greenblatt.
	It's truly amazing.
	They treat the American people as if they were part of the problem.
	As if they were the ones that created the concentration camps, as if they were engaged in the Holocaust themselves.
	American people are continually beaten over the head with this cudgel, you're anti-Semitic, despite the fact that it was America in World War II, and you largely have to thank for Nazi Germany being stopped.
	Truly incredible.
	APAC attacks rep Marjorie Taylor Greene for calling Israel's actions in Gaza genocide.
	The pro-Israel lobby group APAC is attacking rep Marjorie Taylor Greene after she became the first Republican member of Congress to label Israel's actions against the Palestinians in Gaza a genocide.
	According to Al Jazeera, in a fundraising email to supporters on Thursday, APAC called Green's remarks, disgusting, and accused her of betraying American values.
	Accused her of betraying American values.
	What American values might that be?
	Unquestioning support for Israel?
	The fact that our politicians are supposed to be bought and sold by AIPAC?
	Is that the American value?
	We're calling Israel's brutal campaign in Gaza a genocide, which aligns Greene with many human rights organizations and genocide scholars, including Israeli ones.
	No, that's against American values.
	The value of funding whatever they do, the value of bowing down and saying, yes, sir, whatever you want.
	You expect anti-Israel smears from Rashida Talib and Elhan Omar, APAC said in the email, referring to two House Democrats known for their critical view of Israel, but now Marjorie Taylor Greene has joined their ranks, spouting the same vile rhetoric and voting against the U.S.-Israel alliance.
	Part of the reason that they're so effectively able to corral people and get them to support Israel is that we do have these morons, these women like Rashida Talib and Ilhan Omar on the other side.
	People look at them and they see what they stand for and they see how wicked they are, how dumb they are, and how they've gamed the system.
	Neither of them should be holding office in America.
	They say, well, if they're anti-Israel, obviously I should be for it.
	The people that get elected on the Democrat side tend to be far more openly despicable.
	They tend to be less presentable and make it far easier to just turn your brain off and say, well, whatever they're against, I'm for.
	It's back to the whole thing of what I've been saying about how these late-night propagandists were actually driving people to Trump with how they consistently unfunny they were and anti-Trump.
	They made it very, very easy for Trump.
	He just said, look, look at how annoying Stephen Colbert is.
	Aren't you tired of being lectured and shamed?
	If you vote for me, it's basically a middle finger to these guys.
	Don't you want that?
	And of course, if you staunchly support AIPAC, it's basically a middle finger to Rashida Taliban Ilhan Omar.
	And for a lot of people, that's enough.
	That's all they need to know.
	Now, I don't want to know about what they're actually doing in Gaza.
	I'm not going to look at the pictures of the children being bombed.
	All I know is that Rashida Talib and Ilhan Omar are against them.
	And if they're against them, then I'm for them.
	Green has referred to Israel's actions as genocide at least twice in posts on X. In her first post, Green said that it's the most truthful and easiest thing to say that the October 7th in Israel was horrific and all hostages must be returned, but so is the genocide, humanitarian crisis, and starvation happening in Gaza.
	Wow.
	What a hateful statement.
	For her to condemn the actions of Hamas on October 7th?
	For her to say that it was horrific and that the hostages must be returned.
	But then to go on and say that Israel is committing a genocide.
	How could she do that?
	No, Israel would never do that.
	They're our allies.
	They're wonderful.
	Well, except for the fact that Netanyahu, who has now come out and said, yeah, we're just going to take the entire Gaza Strip.
	That's ours.
	Whatever happens to the people there, who cares?
	Another post, the Georgia Congresswoman said, many Americans are against radical Islamic terrorism.
	We were also against genocide.
	Wow.
	How could she say such a thing?
	How could she say something so hateful as though as hateful as we're against radical Islamic terrorism and we don't support genocide?
	Truly.
	What a despicable thing to say.
	She's also repeatedly referred to Israel as nuclear-armed Israel, making her one of the first members of Congress to directly acknowledge Israel's secret nuclear arsenal, secret nuclear arsenal that they most likely obtained by stealing secrets from us.
	Not going to comment on that.
	Our greatest ally, stealing our nuclear secrets, using it for their own benefit.
	Not going to talk about the Samson option, of course.
	As I'm sure all of you know, is the option where if they think they're losing, if they think, well, this is going poorly for us, they're just going to nuke the entire region.
	Sorry, nobody gets to play anymore.
	They reset the board.
	ABAC is known to spend big on pro-Israel candidates and is likely going to fund an opponent of Greens when she comes up for election again.
	The pro-Israel group has also targeted Rep Thomas Massey, the only other Republican in Congress to offer significant criticism of Israel and who consistently votes against aid to Israel.
	And of course, we played you the video of that guy that they're going to try to replace Thomas Massey with, that clown wearing his cowboy hat, talking about how, well, they're God's chosen people, don't you know?
	And we have to support them no matter what.
	Those who bless Israel will be blessed.
	Point to the blessings.
	I don't remember the guy's name.
	I hope I never have to learn it.
	If he replaces Thomas Massey, that will be a blow.
	I'm sure they're...
	Never trust them fully, but Thomas Massey is at least good on budget and he's good on not blindly supporting Israel.
	They don't want to end the war.
	Netanyahu bets on Gaza to save himself.
	It was from RT.
	With his coalition on the brink, the Israeli leader has doubled down on war and the settler dream at the expense of peace.
	In a move that surprised no one but carry sweeping consequences, Israel's cabinet has formally signed off on the capture of Gaza City.
	A decision nearly two years into the grinding war in the Strip, the government laid out five official objectives dismantling Hamas's military capabilities, securing the return of all living and deceased hostages, demilitarizing the enclave, expanding Israeli control over its territory, and installing a new civil administration.
	One that answers neither to Hamas nor the Palestinian Authority.
	So, they want a puppet regime in Gaza.
	They want people that will be directly under their control and do whatever they say.
	That's assuming they even go that far.
	That's assuming they don't just immediately boot out all the Palestinians and just roll it right on in underneath their own government.
	But behind the bullet points lies a more calculated play for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
	The operation is not just about battlefield gains.
	It's also about political survival, and some say setting the stage for something far more permanent.
	You don't say.
	What a surprise.
	Timing is no coincidence.
	Analysts say the timing of the Gaza City push is anything but random.
	Rekhaimer Abu Sada, an associate professor of political science at Gaza's Al-Azhar University, now based in Cairo, puts it bluntly.
	Israel has realized it failed to free the Israeli hostages and defeat Hamas.
	He said the continuation of the war guarantees Netanyahu will remain in his seat.
	We see this over and over again.
	We saw Zelensky declare himself permanent leader, well, until at least hostilities cease.
	No more elections until the war is over.
	And so he'll do anything he can to keep that war going because it means he gets to maintain power.
	Netanyahu's coalition controls just 61 seats in the Nasset, a razor-thin majority.
	Several ultra-Orthodox lawmakers have threatened to bolt over a controversial draft law that would conscript Haredi youth into the Israel Defense Forces, losing even a handful of members could cost him his majority and trigger elections he's far from certain to win.
	That vulnerability hands outsized leverage to hardline partners, like Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrik and National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gevir, both vocal advocates for expanding the war.
	Yariv Oppenheimer, an Israeli peace activist and board member of Peace Now, one of the country's leading anti-occupation NGOs, sees a clear political motive.
	Netanyahu is doing what's good for himself and his own coalition, he said.
	But Oppenheimer adds there's also ideology at play.
	Oppenheiser, Oppenheimer's a funny name for a peace activist.
	Just got to point that out.
	Netanyahu and his government don't want to reach a ceasefire deal with Hamas.
	They don't want to end the war.
	And the alternative of ending the war is to escalate the war and to conquer parts of the Gaza Strip.
	They are doing that in order to pave the way for eventually building Israeli settlements.
	Before 2005, Israel maintained more than 20 Jewish settlements in Gaza, heavily guarded enclave sustained at enormous cost, running into billions of shekels a year.
	When then Prime Minister Ariel Sharon ordered the evacuation of settlers and withdrawal of troops that year, the country split down the middle.
	Some Israelis welcomed the move as a relief from a costly and dangerous burden.
	Others warned it would embolden Hamas and other militant groups.
	Today, those warnings have become central talking points for Ben Geveer and Smotrick, who argue that the October 7th attacks would never have happened had Israel retained control of the Strip.
	Their vision now includes reestablishing Jewish settlements in areas abandoned two decades ago.
	A goal that dovetails neatly with Netanyahu's decision to push deeper into Gaza.
	International anger over the conduct of the war and alleged violations in Gaza have been building for months.
	The decision to expand the offensive drew especially sharp rebukes, including from one of Israel's closest allies.
	Germany announced it would halt deliveries of weapons that could be used in Gaza.
	The message from European capitals is increasingly blunt, and it's not just rhetoric.
	Expert export decisions, court challenges, and parliamentary motions are beginning to bite.
	Abu Sada warns this is the only opening phase of a broader backlash, predicting deeper isolation for Israel both regionally and globally.
	Of course, this is only the beginning, said Oppenheimer.
	The pressure from the world will definitely move, will have its own impact on Netanyahu and his government.
	But having said that, as long as there is a green light from the White House, Netyahu will move forward with his plan, either to achieve a better deal with Hamas or to eventually take over Gaza and allow settlers to build their settlements.
	This is exactly what they are pushing for.
	Says there is no end in sight.
	If the mediators fail to broker another deal between Hamas and Israel, Abu Sada warns the consequences will be grim.
	If the mediators fail to mediate another deal between Hamas and Israel, the war will continue for many more months.
	And that means that more deaths, more destruction, and more starvation in Gaza is just around the corner, he said.
	This will turn into a longer war or another war of attrition.
	Hamas will not surrender and will fight a guerrilla warfare against the Israeli army from street to street, from destroyed building to another.
	And this might lead to the expulsion of some of the Palestinians out of Gaza.
	The ability to live and survive in Gaza for the Palestinians will gradually disappear.
	And of course, we've seen that the likelihood of anything being mediated is small, slim to none, because what Israel demands is far too costly.
	It would effectively give them everything.
	It would still lead to the same thing, eventually Palestinians being kicked out of Gaza completely.
	Stealth Patriot.
	Well, thank you for the tip.
	Appreciate it.
	Marjorie Taylor Greene is heavily invested in Palantir, just like she was in Remdesavir.
	She talks a big game, but in the end, she is not fighting the surveillance state.
	No.
	She has things that she's willing to comment on, things that appeal to people that will vote for her.
	But all these people are playing both sides.
	She is making her money, and she is a puppet of a different part of the power structure.
	Audi MRR, many high-profile white supremacists are CIA agents of the divide and conquer agenda.
	Yeah, there was that.
	There's basically an entire town where it was white nationalists set up white supremacists.
	And it turns out that they were just loaded to the gills with federal assets.
	Just federal asset after federal asset.
	I mean, that's all of them, pretty much.
	Why Your Pastor Supports Israel and Why?
	It's Complicated.
	This is from American Reformer.
	Exploring Christian Zionism.
	It's by John Harris.
	In recent years, criticism of U.S. support for Israel has grown among American Christians.
	My friends, Pastors Zach Garris and Chase Davis, have contributed thoughtful arguments to this conversation in prominent conservative outlets, contending that American Christians have a primary duty to their own country before Israel.
	They also rightly point to popular dispensational theology as a key reason why some Christians desire unwavering U.S. support for Israel.
	While I largely agree with their assessments, I have also observed a troubling trend.
	Many of the more aggressive anti-Israel voices within the Christian right seem to lack a clear understanding of how we arrived at this point.
	What the key issues lie beneath the surface.
	Dispensationalists believe that Christ will return after a seven-year tribulation to fulfill his kingdom promises, including granting the promised land to ethnic Israel.
	Yet both historically and today, many of the most fervent Christian Zionists have not been dispensationalists.
	An honest evaluation reveals that dismantling dispensationalism will not end Christian support for Israel.
	Both historically and today, many of the most fervent Christian Zionists have not been dispensationalists.
	Furthermore, the continued support for Israel by increasingly secular Western nations, including the United States, has less to do with adherence to Christian theology, more to do with preserving a liberal international order.
	Similarly, rising critiques of Jewish identity or culture are not synonymous with critiques of Zionism.
	Historically, some of Zionism's most vocal opponents were Jewish themselves, and today a growing number of younger Jews do not support the policies of the Israeli government.
	What then lies at the heart of America's enduring interest in the state of Israel, and why do American Christians in particular support Israel in such large numbers?
	To answer that, we need to take a closer look at some history.
	Historical events often occur through converging forces, and the present level of support for Israel among Western nations is no exception.
	At the time of the first Zionist Congress held in Bissell in 1897, there was a growing alignment between English Christian interests in the return of Jews across Europe to Palestine and the aims of certain influential secular Jews.
	A second convergence took place after the Six Days War in 1967 when a growing consensus of both secular and religious Jews along with American Christians supported Israel in light of its remarkable performance against more powerful forces.
	Before either of these events, it is important to recognize a lesser-known convergence between Anglo-Protestant interest in Jewish restoration and German pietist investment in Jewish evangelism.
	After the Fourth Lateran Council in 1215, which restricted the status of religious Jews in their subsequent expulsion from England in 1290, the Reformation prompted a re-examination of views toward the Jewish people, particularly in England.
	With theologians now free to study scripture independently, many traditional interpretations were reassessed, including the Roman Catholic reading of Romans 11.
	Both Martin Busser and Theodore Beza taught that the Israel of Romans 11 referred to the Jews rather than the church.
	The Geneva Bible 1557 reinforced this interpretation.
	Soon, major religious figures in England, such as Thomas Brightman, Sir Henry Finch, William Gouge, and John Milton came to believe in the future restoration of Jews in the diaspora to the land of Canaan.
	In 1655, Oliver Cromwell convened the White Hall Conference, which readmitted Jews to England and positioned the nation as a divine instrument for Israel's restoration.
	Meanwhile, German pietists such as Philip Jacob Spenner and August Hermann Frank took an active role in evangelizing Jews, although some 16th century German scholars like Martin Bohrhaus and Wolfgang Capito promoted the idea of a physical return of the Jews to Palestine.
	This concept never gained traction in Germany as it did in England.
	Instead, pietists emphasized Jewish evangelism as a means of ushering in post-millennial renewal.
	The London Society for Promoting Christianity Among Jews, founded by German pietists in 1809, embodied this focus on Jewish conversion.
	This combined interest in evangelizing Jews from pietists and anticipating their journey to the Holy Land as a fulfillment of biblical prophecy from restorationists helped lay the groundwork for what would eventually become Zionism.
	Of course, I forget the pastor again.
	I'm terrible with names.
	But the one that said, you know, don't evangelize to Jews.
	They don't need it.
	Don't tell them the gospel.
	Everyone needs the gospel.
	Your bloodline won't save you.
	God is going to look at who your parents were and of what ethnicity they were when you get to heaven.
	When you are being judged, it's not going to be about who you're descended from.
	As Restorationist views increased in England, so did the reach of mass communication, allowing English Christians already interested in a Jewish return to Palestine to learn of Jewish persecution elsewhere.
	Particularly, the Russian pogroms.
	This stirred humanitarian concern and increased pressure to support the creation of a Jewish homeland.
	Bishop Edward Bickersteth believed that aiding a Jewish return would lead to Jewish conversion, hasten Christ's return and bring divine blessing to England.
	He influenced Lord Shaftesbury, a key figure in Parliament, who appointed a British vice consul in Jerusalem in 1838, helped establish Christ's church there a decade later.
	As Jewish suffering, as Jewish suffering intensified through events like the Blood Libel Affair, 1840, and the Edgardo Mortara case, 1857, in pogroms, after the 1881 assassination of Tsar Alexander II, British interest in a Jewish homeland grew.
	Non-governmental responses, including organizations like the Syrian Colonization Fund and the Committee of the Persecution of Jews in Russia, and figures like Anglican chaplain William Heckler, considered the first Christian Zionist who attempted Jewish resettlements in places like Cyprus.
	Meanwhile, secular Jewish leaders such as Leon Pinsker and Theodore Herzl voted a Jewish state whether it was in Argentina, Uganda, or Palestine.
	This culminated in the first Zionist Congress in Basel in 1897.
	Herzl, who called the Congress, was an Austro-Hungarian Jew with strong political ties in Central Europe.
	He pushed for a Jewish state to shield Jews from anti-Semitism.
	But his dream was to build a modern, pluralistic society with democracy, free education, low unemployment, and religious tolerance.
	He called it the new Moses of the Jews.
	Well, we've seen there isn't really much religious tolerance in Israel now.
	If you're a Christian, it's not unlikely that you'll be spit on, or mocked, derided, harassed.
	They have no love for Christians in Israel.
	Initially, most Anglo-American Protestants and both secular and religious Jews rejected Zionism.
	The Congress had to move from Munich to Basel due to rabbinic opposition, driven by fears that Zionism would stir more anti-Semitism by hindering Jewish assimilation in countries where they already lived.
	Historian Donald Lewis noted that the great majority of British Jews were unsympathetic to Zionism with only 8,000 of 300,000 belonging to Zionist organizations.
	A British ambassador reported in 1920.
	The most American Jews deposed Zionist leaders and even wealthy Jews were divided.
	Many rabbis believe restoration would only come through the Messiah, not human effort.
	Christian critics included William Miller, John Nelson Darby, and James H. Brooks, who rejected restorationism for not aligning with their prophetic timelines or for promoting activism.
	Arno Gabelang, who assisted C.I. Schofield, claimed Zionism is not only the divinely promised restoration of Israel, yet around the time of the 1917 Balfour Declaration, dispensationalism was growing to eventually become the dominant American Christian eschatology, while versions of it simultaneously adapted to a suite of Zionists to suit a Zionist agenda.
	Misspelled there.
	There's a little doubt that the modern state of Israel would have emerged with Western support.
	Regardless of how American fundamentalist Christians felt, however, that might have been a cultural sideshow.
	A century earlier grew to dominate an enthusiastic segment of U.S. support for Israel by the 1980s.
	The group conservative evangelical Christians became prominent backers of Zionism.
	Their influence and their pro-Israel stance did not appear overnight.
	This is a long article with a lot of information in it.
	It is worth a read.
	However, I think we will call it there.
	And I encourage you to go check it out for yourself.
	Again, the article is why your pastor supports Israel and why it's complicated.
	It's on the American Reformer.
	It's by John Harris.
	You can share that to some of your friends who were perhaps locked into this Zionist thinking.
	Perhaps it can help them break free from it.
	Perhaps it can help them to see the insanity of what is going on with Israel and the fact that we blindly support them no matter what.
	Got some comments.
	New Buddha 2029, Germany announced it will continue sending weapons under a proxy country.
	Reading between the lines.
	I'll have to have to look into that.
	I wouldn't be surprised.
	They want to be able to pretend like they're not supporting it, but still get all the benefits.
	Tunnel Lord 1337.
	Randy Weaver was surrounded by feds pretending to be supremacists.
	The court documents prove that.
	We see that continually.
	The feds will entrap some guy, have him be surrounded by majority of federal agents, push him to do something, especially if it's some mentally ill kid, somebody that doesn't have the best judgment, isn't really capable of understanding what's happening.
	Yeah, it seems half the cases of domestic terrorism are stuff where they have one mentally ill person surrounded by a hundred feds or ones that are 100 feds and no mentally ill person and all invented.
	And basically every time you see domestic terrorism, you can almost assume, without doing any research, that the FBI convinced somebody to do it, supplied all the methods of doing it, then took the guy down and is now patting themselves on the back.
	Mama C. 1996, so does the David Knight show believe the church has replaced Israel?
	The David Knight Show.
	Personally, yes, I do.
	I believe the church is what is being referred to.
	Well, it's not so much replacement as it is fulfilling the Old Testament.
	Like, Jesus said, you look to the Old Testament and you think that will save you, but the scriptures testify of me.
	It is completed when Christ arrived.
	And it's not that they have been replaced entirely, it's that they have turned their back on the God of the that they used to worship.
	It's like the part in Romans, I believe, where saying anyone don't think that you're so special because you've been grafted on, they can be grafted back on just as easily.
	So, we're going to take a quick break when we come back.
	We're going to look at what's going on with Zelensky.
	Stay with us.

	So, as I said, we're going to look at what's going on with Zelensky.
	What's going on with Ukraine?
	Because, of course, that war is dragging on too.
	This is from Zero Hedge.
	These are dead decisions.
	Zelensky rejects ceding territory after Trump talks land swap.
	Well, the planned August 15th Trump-Putin summit set for Alaska is a very positive breakthrough toward potentially ending the war in Ukraine.
	One wonders precisely how the sides aim to actually achieve this, given they look to already be back at square one regardless.
	What has substantially changed in the warring sides positions that now makes peace possible?
	Has anything changed at all?
	Doesn't seem to have.
	Zelensky still seems to be utterly committed to destroying his country, to fighting to the last Ukrainian.
	Not him, though.
	He'll be on the French Riviera with his wife, most likely.
	First, here's the Wall Street Journal clarifying what Putin wants, which hasn't changed.
	Putin presented the Trump administration this week with a sweeping proposal for a ceasefire in Ukraine demanding major territorial concessions by Kiev and a push for a global recognition of its claims.
	It's in exchange for a halt to the fighting, according to European and Ukrainian officials.
	European and Ukrainian officials who were briefed by Trump and Witkoff in a series of calls this week said they worry Putin is simply using the offer as a ploy to avoid new U.S. sanctions and tariffs while continuing the war.
	Next, here's the New York Times presenting President Zelensky's Saturday President Zelensky's Saturday firm rejection of giving up any land.
	And not even offering Crimea, which has been fully controlled by Russia for many years, having been formally annexed in 2014 via a popular referendum.
	Zelensky of Ukraine on Saturday flatly rejected the idea that Ukraine could cede land to Russia after President Trump suggested that a peace deal between Ukraine and Russia could include some swapping territories.
	His blunt rejection risks angering mister Trump, who has made a peace deal between Ukraine and Russia one of his signature foreign policy goals.
	If he wants peace, he can just stop the weapon shipments.
	He could make it much more difficult for Ukraine to continue with its suicidal policies and its suicide its continuation of this war.
	Zelensky had further said in his video address, any decisions made against us, any decisions made without Ukraine, are at the same time decisions against peace.
	The only peace that Zelensky will have is a victory, which is just not possible.
	You're not going to win against Russia here.
	Ukraine doesn't stand really a chance.
	It's simply a meat grinder.
	They're killing a lot of Russians and more Ukrainians are being killed.
	If Trump wants to see this through, he'll have to cut Zelensky both cut off Zelensky both in terms of arms supplies and pushing him out of the political into the politic political must be political, another misspelling, cold or isolation, but the European allies will of course revolt and accuse Trump of being steamrolled by Putin's demands.
	But that begs the question, who cares?
	Who cares what the European Union thinks?
	Who cares what these people in NATO think?
	Trump-Putin summit looks like a slow defeat for Ukraine.
	This is from CNN.
	You can see that headline there in the article.
	And that's what this has always been.
	It has been a slow defeat for Ukraine.
	Effectively, they've already lost.
	It's only a matter of time and the number of men they're willing to sacrifice.
	The number of men they're willing to kill in this bloody, pointless war.
	Wall Street Journal's chief foreign correspondent Yaroslav Tromov Trofimov is probably correct in predicting the following.
	No matter what Witkoff may have told Trump, there is no scenario under which the Ukrainian army voluntarily withdraws from Slovyansk and Kromatorsk and hands over these major cities to Russian occupation.
	White House Maul's inviting Zelensky to Trump Putin talks in Alaska.
	This is from Zero Hedge.
	We might invite Zelensky.
	We might bring him in.
	The White House is weighing the possibility of inviting Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to Alaska for Friday's summit between President Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin.
	Several sources in the Trump administration have told media outlets.
	Without Zelensky at the table, none of this means anything.
	He is the one that effectively will decide whether there will be peace.
	Putin can make all these demands, and even if Trump agrees to them all, if Zelensky says no, then it doesn't matter.
	It's under discussion, a person briefed on the matter told NBC, this despite Putin having repeatedly said it would be too early for him to meet with the Ukrainian leader.
	Lots of typos in the articles today.
	And that he'd only do so to sign a final peace settlement to end the war.
	The Kremlin has made clear that the warring sides are nowhere near that point and has even questioned the legal legitimacy of Zelensky's tenure in office far past the cancelled elections.
	No plans have been finalized and it is yet unclear whether Zelensky will actually travel to Alaska for talks.
	Yet a senior US official has said the idea is absolutely still on the table.
	Everyone is very hopeful it will happen.
	The official added, and yet it could cause Putin to get cold feet if he senses undue pressure in this regard.
	Personally, I'm not sure that Putin feels any real pressure from Volodymyr Zelensky.
	I don't think anyone is intimidated by him.
	Everyone is very hopeful it will happen, the official added, and yet it could cause Putin to get cold feet.
	Putin is unlikely to want to be in the same room or even the same venue.
	As talks proceed, Zelensky made clear on Saturday that he's unwilling to make a key compromise demanded of Russia.
	Again, without him at the table, none of this means anything.
	Who cares what Donald Trump has to say about this?
	If he can't bring Zelensky to the table, if he can't get him to see reason.
	But Putin will settle for nothing less than Ukraine formally ceding the four eastern territories, which have already been declared part of the Russian Federation after a referendum which Kiev rejected.
	These are Donetsk, Kherson, Luhansk, and Zaporizhia.
	Oblasts.
	Additionally, Ukraine has not issued clarification on whether it is at least ready to give up Crimea.
	Drone attacks have continued to target Crimea and other southern portions of Russia, especially targeting oil refineries and energy infrastructure.
	And of course, this meeting is scheduled for this Friday, August 15th.
	I'll have to wait and see what comes of it.
	But I don't expect anything.
	Again, Zelensky has no skin in the game, really.
	He's making a fortune.
	He's apparently enriching himself massively, so it doesn't matter how many of his countrymen die, it doesn't matter if he eventually loses the entire country.
	He'll scamper off to, as I said, the French Riviera or some other beautiful place.
	Pentagon can retake weapons destined for Ukraine, says CNN, this by RT.
	An internal policy could rob Kiev of billions of dollars worth of U.S.-made material, according to the report.
	According to the memo reportedly written by Pentagon policy chief Elbridge Colby, described by the network as a noted skeptic of arming Ukraine, the department has the power to retake arms designated for Kiev under a program known as the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative.
	While CNN sources reported that no weapons have apparently been diverted under the guidance the policy could rob, they're going to rob Ukraine.
	No, it's the American people that have been robbed.
	American people that have been robbed by supporting this.
	Ukraine of billions of dollars worth of US-made material expected to be delivered over the coming months and years.
	Under the reported memo, weapons in short supplies such as interceptor missiles for patriot air defense systems require direct approval from Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth before being sent abroad.
	The pull-back provision is reportedly part of the same document Hegseth used last month to suspend the flow of weapons including Patriot missiles to Ukraine.
	At the time, Pentagon officials sounded the alarm over dwindling supplies at home, although Trump later ordered that shipments be resumed.
	So much for peace.
	That's our peace, President.
	Keep those war supplies going.
	The US President has since said that American weapons could be sent to Ukraine under an arrangement in which the EU would pay Washington 100% of the costs of all military equipment.
	Of course, they care about money.
	They don't care about how many people die.
	Russia has repeatedly condemned Western armed shipments to Ukraine, warning they only prolong the conflict without changing its outcome, making NATO a direct participant in the hostilities.
	But of course, it also makes these corporations much richer.
	That's something you got to account for.
	The military-industrial complex is making a lot of money.
	Why Trump wants Putin in Alaska and not anywhere else?
	This is from RT.
	The choice of America's northern frontier is as much about politics as it is about geography.
	Of course, you can remember it was Sarah Palin that made the joke.
	I can see Russia from here about stepping outside her front door.
	The choice of Alaska as the venue for the August 15th, 2025 bilateral summit between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin carries a rare blend of symbolism.
	It reaches deep into the past, reflects the current geopolitical balance, and hints at the contours of future U.S.-Russia relations.
	Tsar Alexander II's decision to sell Alaska to the United States for $7.2 million was one of the most debated diplomatic transactions of the 19th century in St. Petersburg.
	It was clear if left unattended, Alaska would likely fall into the hands of Russia's main rival at the time.
	The British Empire.
	Handing it over to Washington was not an act of weakness, but a calculated investment in future relations with a nation whose specific ambitions did not yet collide with Russia's.
	In the 20th century, the symbolic connection gained new meaning.
	During World War II, the city of Fairbanks, with a population of just 30,000, became a major hub in the Lend Lease Program, a massive U.S. military aid effort that supplied the Soviet Union with aircraft, equipment, and materials.
	Even today, Alaska remains the most Russian of U.S. states, home to old believers, descendants of a 19th-century settler seeking religious freedom, with functioning Orthodox churches and places named and places named church and places named like Nikolaivesk, Vonzhenensk, and upper and lower Russian lakes linked by the Russian River.
	But the choice of Alaska is more than a nod to history.
	It is also a political calculation.
	Trump clearly has no intention of sharing the spotlight with intermediaries such as Recep Tayap Erdogan, a president of Turkey, or Mohammed bin Saeed al-Nayan, the president of the United Emirates, one of the most influential figures in Middle Eastern politics.
	Trump has chosen the most geographically remote state in the Union to underline his distance from both his Democratic opponents at home and from NATO allies who, acting in Kiev's interest, will seek to undermine any potential breakthroughs.
	There's also a practical side.
	Alaska's low population density makes it easier for security services to minimize the risk of terrorist attacks or staged provocations, while sidestepping the legal complications posed by the International Criminal Court's arrest warrant in 2002.
	The United States withdrew its signature from the Rome Statute, and it does not recognize the ICC's jurisdiction on its soil.
	There's another crucial dimension.
	Alaska is America's only truly Arctic region.
	In a world where the Trump administration has been exerting pressure on Canada and Greenland to bring them under firmer U.S. influence, the high north is becoming a strategic theater.
	Russia and the United States have overlapping interests here.
	Who knows?
	Maybe we'll get a coalition.
	We'll annex Canada.
	Us and the Russians will work together to break Canada and divide it between us.
	From developing the Northern Sea Route, which partly runs through the Bering Strait, to tapping offshore oil and gas reserves.
	The Lomonosov Ridge and underwater formation in the Arctic Ocean claimed by Russia as a natural extension of its continental shelf is a case in point.
	Joint Arctic projects could turn the region into one of the most prosperous in the world.
	But under a different scenario, it could just as easily become a stage for nuclear weapons tests and air defense drills.
	Perhaps we'll test the nuclear weapons up there.
	Irradiate the moose and the grizzly bears.
	Ukraine will loom large over the summit agenda.
	Western media outlets have already floated the possibility of territorial swaps.
	For example, the withdrawal of Ukrainian forces from Donet, from Donetsk People's Republic, in exchange for Russian concessions in the Sumi Kharkov, in the Dnepropetrops, and Nikolaev regions.
	Even Western analysts have called such a deal diplomatic victory for Moscow, noting that the unoccupied territory Russia would gain would be four times the size of the areas it might cede.
	Alaska is a fitting place for such discussions.
	Its own history is a vivid reminder that territorial ownership is not an immutable historical geographic constant, but a political and diplomatic variable shaped by the agreements of great powers in specific historical moments.
	Now, we have Lindsey Graham.
	He says Graham wants to crush Russian oil customers.
	Putin could give a damn.
	Of course, Lindsey Graham should have been kicked out long ago.
	He's never seen a war he doesn't like.
	He's never seen a war he wouldn't support and back because his constituents are Raytheon and Lockheed Martin.
	They're the ones had on the board stuff about Lindsey Graham in Gaza for a while if you want to get the general war-mongering impression of him.
	Lindsey Graham is a warmonger par excellence.
	There's not a war he wouldn't support just so long as it's making Raytheon, Lockheed Martin, all those companies money.
	Because of course, it ends up coming back to him as well.
	Senator Lindsey Graham, Lindsey Graham, of South Carolina, during an appearance on NBC's Meet the Press, urged the U.S. to target nations who buy Russian oil, even those with whom the U.S. has strong ties, such as India.
	One thing I could tell you, Putin could give a damn about sanctions.
	What he means to say is could not.
	The one thing I could tell you, Putin could not give a damn about sanctions.
	That's how he should have said it.
	That's how he should have said it.
	The one thing he can't tolerate and live with?
	If we go after his customers, Graham said.
	The whole goal is to crush his customers, India, China, and Brazil.
	Lindsey Graham is a special kind of fool.
	Special kind of fool that will never learn.
	We'll actually play him talking about Gaza.
	Because it plays into this.
	Again, he's just a warmonger.
	War, wherever, wherever.
	President Trump said he told Prime Minister Netanyahu to quote, finish the job this week.
	I know that you are in touch with President Trump.
	You're in touch with Israeli officials.
	What are you anticipating is going to happen next?
	What does finish the job mean, Senator?
	Well, I talked to Cindy McCain last night.
	Here's some good news for the people in Gaza.
	Humanitarian quarters are now going to be open.
	Israel is going to work with the UN, the World Food Program, to get some food into these people who need it.
	But I think what the topic we're talking about today is a change in strategy.
	I think President Trump has come to believe, and I certainly have come to believe, there's no way you're going to negotiate an end to this war with Hamas.
	Hamas is a terrorist organization who is chartered to destroy the state of Israel.
	They're religious Nazis.
	They hold Israeli hostages.
	I think Israel's come to conclude that they can't achieve a goal of ending the war with Hamas that would be satisfactory to the safety of Israel.
	Every war, everywhere, just so long as it's making us money, just so long as it's making his constituents, Raytheon, Lockheed Martin, Boeing, whichever company, money, he'll support it.
	I've always found it quite funny to me.
	You know, Lindsey Graham, I think we can all agree, seems heavily closeted, and yet he's so desperate to send away our fit young men to die in foreign wars.
	It seems like it's acting against his own interests.
	Very curious.
	Very curious indeed.
	Epstein Island says Trump endorses Lindsey Graham and hates Tom Massey.
	Do the math.
	Yeah.
	Makes things pretty obvious, doesn't it?
	Pizzonovante 1776, they don't call him Lockheed Lindsay for nothing.
	That's right.
	He's Lockheed and loaded.
	Ready for war.
	Well, he's not going.
	He's not going to do anything.
	He's going to send your sons and daughters to die.
	He won't do anything about it, though.
	He'll sit back and enrich himself and probably stare at the pool boy or something.
	Audi MRR says, as if she has no clue what finish the job means, she's CIA.
	All these people involved in the media.
	Many of them have very heavy, very obvious ties to the CIA.
	It was funny.
	Nick Fuentes and Tucker Carlson were feuding recently, and Nick Fuentes rightfully pointed out how absurd it is that Tucker Carlson claimed he didn't know his dad was in the CIA.
	I only learned it after his death, said Tucker Carlson.
	And it's a very rare thing.
	It's extremely, it's ridiculously rare when I am forced to agree with Nick Fuentes, but this is one of those times.
	It doesn't add up.
	It's obviously some kind of lie.
	And in fact, there were clips of Tucker Carlson talking about his father being in the CIA from years ago.
	These people are routinely outed as having CIA affiliation.
	That's not to say that I don't think Nick Fuentes is some kind of federal asset either.
	I believe he is based on the fact that he was at January 6th.
	He encouraged people to tear down barriers, to engage in everything that got people in trouble.
	And nothing happened to him.
	Nothing happened at all.
	But we'll get back to Ukraine and Zelensky.
	That's enough about the two federal agents that were pointing fingers at each other.
	European leaders rally behind Ukraine as White House open to inviting Zelensky to Trump-Putin meeting.
	But of course, the EU and the NATO and NATO want war.
	They do not want peace.
	They're desperate for it to continue.
	Poll: 69% of Ukrainians want negotiated end to war as soon as possible.
	Excuse me.
	Gallup released a new poll on Thursday that found 69% of Ukrainians favor a negotiated end to the war with Russia as soon as possible, while just 24% want to keep fighting until victory.
	There is no victory for Ukraine.
	There is no victory for the Ukrainian people.
	Now, victory for Zelensky, as I've said, is just a continuation because it allows him to siphon off more funds.
	It allows him to send his wife on shopping trips where she can buy expensive clothing.
	Perhaps get a villa somewhere.
	A near-complete reversal of public opinion from when Russia invaded more than three years ago.
	When Gallup first asked the question to Ukrainians in 2022, it found 72% wanted to continue fighting, and just 22% wanted a negotiated settlement.
	And now it's been reversed.
	You can see this chart here in the article.
	Ukrainians lose appetite for war, support negotiated peace.
	you can see those two have basically switched places identically.
	Okay.
	The solid bar being the Ukrainians should continue fighting until it wins the war and the dotted line being Ukraine should seek to negotiate an ending to the war as soon as possible.
	They've almost completely flipped.
	Almost exactly.
	Well, the majority of Ukrainians want to see the war end.
	The new Gallup poll found that they don't think it will happen anytime soon.
	Not with Zelensky in charge.
	And of course, he canceled all elections until the war is over, so he's going to stay in charge until it comes to whatever conclusion it does.
	Nagasaki, a bomb survivor, urges N arms never be used.
	93-year-old tells of gruesome scenes witnessed at well, actually, before that, I believe we have a call that was recorded between Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump.
	It's a bit of a secret video.
	It hasn't been really widely circulated, but it's important.
	I think we should take a look at this.
	Well, it's been five months in office and still no recognition from the Nobel Peace Committee for my very strong efforts to end all of the wars.
	Zelensky, you're an ungrateful loser and you don't have the cards.
	Stop fighting.
	No.
	Okay, fine.
	Shoot yourself.
	Vladimir, it's Donald.
	Stop the war.
	No.
	Stop.
	No.
	Okay, baby, could we wind down the war in Gaza?
	Donald, I thought you were the president of America.
	No, no, no.
	Actually, this is a video I had to play, I guess, because this is the old one.
	How about I?
	Hello, Donald.
	You listen to me, Vladimir.
	If you don't end the war in Ukraine, I'm going to put sanctions on you.
	No, you won't.
	You're right, I won't.
	But I will give you tons of money instead.
	What are you, Qatar now?
	I don't want tons of money.
	What do you want?
	I want Ukraine, but I'll give you money.
	Does this money come with Ukraine?
	No.
	Well, then, no.
	You know, not everything is about money.
	Ukraine, money.
	Mr. JD and I getting a newspaper.
	You can use a long clip and it's not a good idea.
	If you do what we want, we are prepared to very strongly abandon Ukraine.
	And drop the whole thing.
	Is that what you want?
	Yes.
	Well, then you wait, what?
	Wait, what?
	That's right.
	Trump, of course, known for backing off of everything he says he'll do.
	Nagasaki, A-bomb survivor, urges and arms never be used.
	93-year-old tells of gruesome scenes witnessed at 13.
	Of course, actually, as I mentioned, Dresden was just as horrific as the nuclear bombs.
	Nagasaki, Nagasaki atomic bomb survivor, Hiroshi Nishoka, 93, read out the pledge for peace at the Peace Memorial Ceremony as a representative of survivors in Nagasaka City, Nagasaki City on Saturday.
	We talked about this the other day, but it's worth talking about again.
	Nishioka, the oldest person ever to serve as a representative, devoted most of his speech to his own experience of the atomic bombing and appealed for nuclear weapons never to be used.
	At the ceremony, he had said, There are very few people left who know what the atomic bombing was like, so I would like to talk about what I know as much as I can.
	On august 9th, 1945, Nishioka, then 13 years old, was in the medical supply room of a middle school in Nagasaki, about 3.3 kilometers from the HIPAA center.
	The echoing roar of an American B-29 bomber drew him to the window where he was enveloped in a light that seemed to blend orange and yellow.
	I thought a bomb has been dropped on the school's tennis court, Nishioki said in his speech.
	I lay flat on the floor.
	He was struck by the blast wave and classmates who had fallen on top of him were drenched in blood as their flesh was pierced with numerous shards of glass from the shattered windows.
	On the way home he saw evacuees streaming away from the area where the center of the blast had been.
	A man with his entire body covered in blood, a mother holding a baby as she walked with blood streaming from the baby's face.
	Burpin, whose arm hung limply, appeared to be severed.
	My senses became numb, and I did not feel pity for them.
	The next day he joined the rescue activities at another middle school, closer to the hippocenter.
	The uniformed bodies of many students who had been crushed under the school building were laid out on the sports ground along with the bodies of teachers who also died in the bombing.
	On his way back, he saw many bodies scattered on the road.
	An injured person begged him for water.
	I might die myself, the young Nishioki thought.
	Nishioka.
	Afraid that the water bottle hanging from his waist might be taken, he had no choice but to shake off the person's arms which were stretched out for help and move on.
	Even now when I recall the moment, my heart still aches.
	When he retired about 30 years ago, an acquaintance who was also a Hibakusha atomic bomb survivor urged him to speak up saying anybody who was in Nagasaki at that time needs to tell the world.
	He visited the United States and spoke in English about the damage, the damage caused by the atomic bomb.
	Seeing how intensely the audience listened to his testimony, he realized the importance of sharing his story, began his activities as a storyteller for the Atomic Bomb Survivors Association in Kanagawa Prefecture, and has continued to give lectures on the atomic bombings at schools.
	At the same time, he was also feeling powerless due to the idea that a single voice would not make nuclear threat disappear.
	We should never stop the movement that leads toward peace.
	We should keep moving forward and have more people join us.
	This is what we are aiming for.
	Nuclear weapons should never be used.
	Everything will be over if they are used.
	Let us protect this beautiful earth.
	Of course, I tend to agree.
	I tend to agree with the assessment that the nuclear weapons were unjust, that they were not necessary.
	That bombing a civilian population like that was a war crime, something that we should have never done.
	That's what's going on in the realm of war.
	With Zelensky and Trump and Russia, their summit meeting that is going on.
	Again, that will be on the 15th.
	And I don't see how it can come to any sort of fruitful conclusion as they don't have Zelensky at the table, and he obviously has no interest in ending this war.
	Putin has demands that Zelensky has no interest in fulfilling, and Zelensky has no reason not to continue to sacrifice his countrymen until there are none left because, for one, he is a moral scumbag, and for two, he's enriching himself.
	There is no reason for him to stop.
	He's getting a massive payout to continue this.
	And as such, why would he?
	We're going to take a quick break.
	When we come back, we're going to take a look at more general news.
	See what's going on in the world.
	So stay with us, folks.
	We will be right back.
	We'll be right back.
	Making sense coming again.
	You're listening to The David Knight Show.
	The David Knight Show.
	Liberty, it's your move.
	And now, the David Knight Show.
	Welcome back, folks.
	We're into our third hour here on the David Knight Show.
	Of course, I am your interim host, Travis Knight.
	It is a pleasure to be here with you all.
	Like I said, we're going to take a look at more general news.
	Some of you may have seen there was an attempted carjacking in Washington, D.C. The crime in DC has become rampant.
	It's gotten worse and worse.
	And the interesting thing about this is somebody jumped in to help.
	It turned out to actually be one of the guys that had worked for Dog.
	The handle he went by there was Big Balls.
	And apparently, he does have some cojones because he jumped in against a large group of men to help a woman and protected her.
	You could see pictures online of that.
	Some of you may have seen it, but he was beaten fairly severely.
	Hmm.
	But moving on to talk about more general news.
	Got an email here, and I don't know if I'm supposed to read the full name, so I'll just say it's from Sam A. And it says, Have you noticed that Amazon website grades their delivery options in terms of carbon footprint impact?
	Carbon taxes cannot be too far in the future now for every industry.
	In there, this is the way it goes.
	Once you see this sort of thing, like we're pointing out with stablecoins now being accepted, we're putting in the infrastructure at grocery stores and places like that.
	Once they start acknowledging it in certain industries, you know it's coming down the pipeline.
	They're tracking how much carbon is being put out for deliveries, which means that they're going to put some policies in place soon.
	They'll probably start charging you more.
	Oh, you want your delivery sooner?
	Well, that's going to be extra carbon.
	And as such, you need to be charged more for it, a carbon tax.
	I'm reminded of the whole collective shout thing where they pressured the credit card companies, and it was only a thousand people sending an email to the credit card company.
	It was very little pressure to get the credit card company to start censoring all of these video game platforms.
	They clearly wanted that.
	And I think the reason is if you look at the stuff like the credit cards that have carbon footprint tracking built into the credit card itself.
	And then if you get to a certain carbon limit, it will stop letting you buy carbon-expensive things.
	That's what they want.
	They want to have that kind of power.
	So if they have, you know, oh, well, it's not us.
	It was this collective shout.
	They put a little bit of pressure on us, so therefore we had to take over everything.
	No, you don't understand.
	It's for the good of the children.
	Look, there's this petition.
	This also goes to show that chances are, if you were to write companies, if you were to get a bunch of people to send emails, it wouldn't have the same effect because they wanted to do this.
	This aligns with their own agenda.
	But they are still susceptible to being lobbied potentially.
	So if there is something you care deeply about and you can get a coalition of people together to send emails to get thousands of people together to flood these companies, you might be able to accomplish something.
	Well, they already do have thousands of people emailing them.
	There are a lot of people that are very annoyed by this, whether because they want this content or because they disagree with the bigger picture of it.
	They have been, there's been a huge pushback, and it seems like the credit card companies might be caving because of that.
	They cut away their excuse to do this.
	Yeah, they don't have the smokescreen of saying, well, look, it's what the majority want.
	Trump orders surge of law enforcement in Washington to combat crime.
	Of course, this is directly tied into what I said about the guy from Dog, Big Balls, where he was bloodied and beaten for trying to help a woman that was being carjacked.
	And we have our issues with Dog and Elon Musk and the things he's done, but kudos to this guy.
	He didn't back down.
	He saw something happening.
	And despite the fact that he knew it was going to put him in jeopardy, despite the fact he knew it was likely that he would be hurt, he stood up and did the right thing.
	So I find that very impressive.
	So kudos to this guy.
	I have a lot of respect for that.
	President Donald Trump had ordered the federal government to increase law enforcement presence in Washington to combat violent crime, the White House said on August 7th.
	But of course, Trump is probably going to take this overboard.
	He's probably going to do something like push martial law, deny some due process, put DC directly into the hands of corrupt officials.
	Not that I assume anyone who wields any sort of power in DC is corrupt, but he's probably going to centralize control even further.
	President Trump has directed an increased presence of federal law enforcement to protect innocent civilians.
	White House Press Secretary Caroline Levitt sent in a statement noting that the city has been plagued by violent crime for far too long.
	Of course, cities generally are cities.
	I believe it was Thomas Jefferson that said that cities are a threat to the health, wealth, and liberty of the American people.
	Something along those lines.
	I'm probably paraphrasing.
	But cities are just not someplace you want to live if you can avoid it.
	This operation led by U.S. Park Police will involve officers from the U.S. Capitol Police, Homeland Security Investigations, and the Federal Protective Services, the Drug Enforcement Administration, Enforcement and Removal Operations, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms and Explosives, the Marshal Service, and the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Columbia.
	Crime in Washington, D.C. is totally out of control, Trump stated on Truth Social.
	If DC doesn't get its act together and quickly, we will have no choice but to take federal control of the city and run this city how it should be run and put criminals on notice that they're not going to get away with it anymore.
	President demanded that the city, which is run by a locally elected city council mayor, change its ordinance regarding the prosecution of minor offenders.
	He said that offenders as young as the age of 14 should be subject to trial as an adult for violent offenses.
	I actually agree with that.
	I don't think there's.
	I think there are certain things you should be tried for as a child, but I think once you become violent, and especially if you commit something like murder, you get tried as an adult.
	There was no point in my life, no matter how young, where I didn't understand the concept that murder was wrong.
	That violence and abusing people, injuring people, harming them, stealing from them, wasn't wrong.
	If being a child is not an excuse for these things, they are sort of intrinsic values we all understand.
	And if you choose to go against them, it is not because you're young.
	Local youths and gang members, some only 14, 15, and 16 years old, are randomly attacking, mugging, maiming, and shooting innocent citizens, at the same time knowing that they will be almost immediately released, he stated.
	We've seen this over and over again.
	George Soros campaigned heavily to get district attorneys in that would make sure that certain people, no matter what they did, would be released almost immediately.
	That they would be back out on the street.
	We've seen it over and over again.
	Guy is arrested for a violent crime, despite the fact he's got a track record of violence, gets released, and immediately goes out and harms someone else.
	There's a story recently where a guy did that exact thing.
	He was.
	No, this was from a few years ago.
	A guy shot someone in the head.
	He was brought in.
	They deemed him mentally incompetent, too stupid or handicapped to be put on trial.
	They released him and he shot someone else in the head.
	He's too mentally incompetent to stand trial.
	You know what we should do with this violent, mental incompetent?
	Release him back onto the streets.
	Surprise, surprise, he shoots another guy in the head.
	You can be too stupid to stand trial, but still smart enough to shoot someone in the head.
	That's one of the reasons guns are a great equalizer.
	They're fairly simple.
	It's not a complex process.
	It's fairly obvious.
	You point one end at the bad guy and pull the trigger.
	They are an equalizer.
	I heard Giz.
	This is now on to stuff about Epstein.
	D.C. is, of course, in my opinion, lost.
	There is not much hope of regaining control over it.
	It doesn't matter if Trump calls in the National Guard.
	It will still be run by a much more dangerous class of criminal.
	You can avoid the street thugs in D.C. by simply not going there.
	But the people that actually run Washington, you have no hope of avoiding them.
	They will track you down.
	They will involve themselves in your life.
	I heard Ghillane tell Inmate she had dirt on Trump.
	Sex trafficker's ex-celmate gives extraordinary glimpse into Maxwell's life behind bars.
	The first time Catherine Camole laid eyes on Ghillane Maxwell was when the convicted sex trafficker was about to enter the isolation unit at Tallahassee Prison in the autumn of 2022.
	She was just standing there in an orange jumpsuit and orange flip-flops with handcuffs behind her back and a guard on both sides.
	She was looking down at the ground, tense and angry.
	She says, I heard Ghillane tell inmate she had dirt on Trump.
	Well, I wonder if that could be why they might be considering a pardon, why Trump might be considering meeting with her.
	Wouldn't be surprised.
	Seems likely that she does have something on Trump, considering the numerous photos, videos, the letters written back and forth.
	Trump wishing Epstein a very happy birthday.
	Be surprising if there wasn't something there.
	Epstein Island says Trump is basically going to do to D.C. what Biden did after January 6th.
	Going to turn it into a police state.
	And then the police state.
	Trentadu to Trump, Bondi, release the OKC tapes.
	Of course, we had one of the final interviews, one of the last interviews my dad did before he had the strokes was with a guy who did a noble lie by Freemind Films.
	I cannot remember the guy's name.
	My apologies.
	Release the videotape of the bombing and unsealed John Matthews' deposition because the Department of Justice has it sealed and President Trump's Department of Justice is fighting to keep it sealed.
	You know, I guess this is one good thing about the Epstein cover-up: we're going to get everything else thrown at us in order to distract us.
	Wait a minute, you guys are still out.
	How about the Oklahoma City bombing?
	You guys have been curious about that for years, right?
	How would you like to know about that?
	Trentadoux filed a FOIA lawsuit in 2008 to get the surveillance tapes, which the FBI is on record acknowledging exist, but the Bureau has told him they can't find it.
	Whoops, sorry, we lost it.
	Must have misplaced it.
	Do you guys remember where we put that?
	Ah, darn.
	We'd love to comply with your Freedom of Information request, but sadly, we just can't find the tape.
	Does anyone believe this?
	It's amazing the bold-faced lies they can get away with.
	Simply because they have the power.
	No one can call them on it.
	You would think if you had a videotape showing who committed this horrific crime, wouldn't that have been exhibit number one in McVeigh's criminal trial?
	The reason it wasn't?
	Because I believe that second person was an FBI operative who got out of that truck.
	I would be surprised if this tape even still exists.
	I'd be surprised if they keep things that are damning to them.
	Why on earth would they?
	If it is actually a VHS tape, you also have to contend with the fact that this tape is decades old now, and VHS rots.
	If it isn't stored extremely carefully, chances are the tape is no longer any good if they haven't transferred it to something else.
	So even were they to provide a tape, I doubt it would be usable.
	Investigative reporter and author Peter Schweitzer, who hosted the ZH panel, responded, Let's make sure those two messages are delivered to Pam Bondi.
	As our other guest, Margaret Roberts pointed out, it already has been delivered by Jesse.
	Those are two critical calls to action.
	Jesse has a letter on Attorney General Bondi's desk since March asking the Justice Department to stand down from its opposition to unsealing the John Matthews deposition.
	Well, we know all kinds of things end up on Pam Bondi's desk.
	Yeah, that's exactly what I was about to say.
	Have to be careful.
	Things tend to go missing from there.
	That desk is not a secure location.
	Things just up and vanish.
	Roberts recently published her book, Blow Back the Untold Story of the FBI and the Oklahoma City Bombing.
	She continued, the other area here that needs addressing is the FOIA process.
	This is supposed to be the citizens' last resort for obtaining records that belong to the American public.
	The story belongs to the public, not locked away in secret government vaults.
	The many exclusions available to the secret keepers inside these government agencies make it almost impossible.
	Jesse has navigated this flawed process so masterfully, and yet this FOIA action to release the videotape has just been sitting marooned for more than a decade.
	John Matthews told Jesse he had been pressured by the FBI not to tell his story.
	FOIA needs to be fixed.
	Unless there's some kind of enforcement arm, unless there's some kind of penalty, something, someone that can come in and say, well, you haven't turned this over, and as such, you are now in violation, you are now criminally liable, nothing will ever happen.
	The government only respects force.
	The government only respects people and things that can cause problems for it.
	It doesn't matter.
	You could reform it all you want.
	You could make any kind of change.
	You could say it needs to be done speedily.
	It needs to be done this.
	It needs to be done that way.
	However, unless there is some kind of criminal penalty for people that are directly involved, if it ends up on someone's desk maroon for a decade, that person should be held criminally liable and potentially serve prison time.
	And unless that sort of thing happens, nothing will ever change.
	Unless there are consequences, the government doesn't care.
	These bureaucrats don't have to care, and so they never will.
	They know there's no chance you're going to show up to their office and have a sheriff in tow to cart them away.
	And as such, they'll continue to stonewall forever.
	Brian Demcartmey says the dog hero plays right into Trump's decree to clean up DC, most likely staged.
	It could be.
	It's possible.
	However, I also think it's equally possible that it's not staged.
	DC is a crime-ridden cesspool.
	And this type of thing could also just be fortuitous timing.
	There's always crime happening.
	They could have just had him wandering around, like, hey, look, you see a crime happening, get involved.
	I wouldn't put any cover-up past them or any political stunt.
	But at the same time, crime is very rampant in DC.
	There's a pretty high chance of just running into it.
	Yeah.
	You could just walk down the sidewalk and when you see a crime, try to stop it.
	Who knows?
	I do give credence.
	I'm not saying I don't think it's possible.
	I'm just saying personally, I think this one might be legit.
	But I respect your opinion, and I definitely understand why you would think so.
	They fake just about everything.
	Also, I just like the idea that somebody was actually willing to stand up and fight for what's right.
	I would like to believe that.
	I like to believe those types of stories.
	I want to believe the heroic spirit still lives on in some Americans.
	And as such, I'll choose to believe this one, personally.
	If it means I'm getting suckered, well, I'll admit it if it comes out.
	Trentadu, Schweitzer, Roberts.
	Dad saying congressmen have been carjacked.
	Well, you know, maybe the criminals aren't all bad.
	If they're carjacking congressmen, well, perhaps this is just the price we pay.
	Trentadu, Schweitzer, Roberts, OKC bombing and the federal government's role.
	On the anniversary of the Oklahoma City bombing earlier this year, we covered Swampy John Ashcroft's involvement in the cover-up and shocking evidence regarding the government's foreknowledge.
	You can see that picture there of the Murray building.
	One thing that many, many people have pointed out is the pattern, the way it was blown up, does not match with an ampho bomb.
	If it was able to even do damage, which is unlikely because ampho doesn't detonate at a speed, doesn't have enough force to generally damage concrete, it would have been a ring.
	It would have been a circular blast in the parking lot, which might have impacted and hit the building and put a small circular hole in the front.
	It wouldn't have sheared off the entire front of the building.
	That kind of damage would not really be possible with a fertilizer and ampho bomb.
	Grand juror, we were never allowed to see the photo evidence from the cameras on the Murray building that would have shown the truck being parked and the people who got out Of the truck.
	That's all on tape and we were authorized to see all that, but we weren't allowed to see it.
	Of course, this is kind of like the Pentagon video on 9-11.
	One of the most heavily surveilled, heavily watched places on the planet, the Pentagon.
	And yet all those tapes, all those tapes of the plane coming in don't exist.
	They vanished.
	They're gone.
	No one's ever seen them.
	And I believe it was a gas station that had a security camera running that caught some of it, and that video was confiscated and vanished as well, if memory serves.
	There's so many different ways that they have covered things up.
	It's hard to keep track of them all.
	And again, that plays into why the whole thing in DC could be staged as well.
	And why I don't blame anyone for thinking it is.
	They stage so many different things and they cover everything up.
	They don't tell the truth about anything.
	This is from Zero Hedge.
	Epstein's butler of 18 years breaks silence.
	No way he killed himself.
	And I think personally, there's no way he killed himself.
	Just if you look at the type of man Jeffrey Epstein is, or maybe was, he was self-obsessed.
	He was highly narcissistic.
	He was the type of person that loved himself more than anything or anyone else.
	And I don't think those type of people generally commit suicide.
	Valdson Viera Kotrin oversaw Epstein's residence in Paris for 18 years, made the admission in an interview with the Telegraph 18 years.
	How can you work for someone like Epstein for 18 years?
	Perhaps we should be investigating this butler too.
	Perhaps Yeah, I mean, I'm not saying everyone that worked for him knew, but if you're his butler for 18 years.
	Yeah, you've got to know something.
	My dad said it's two decades of decadence.
	Oversaw Epstein's residence in Paris for 18 years, made the admission in an interview with the Telegraph.
	Maybe he didn't engage in any sort of weirdness in Paris.
	Maybe, you know, he kept it all to his little St. James Island or his New York residence.
	And maybe this guy only lived in Paris and so doesn't know anything.
	I am like his brother, Mark Epstein.
	I don't believe this was suicide.
	He loved life too much.
	The Telegraph has posted a photo of Jeffrey Epstein on his private jet in 2019.
	The photo may be one of the last taken of the financier shows him wearing an Israel Defense Force IDF sweatshirt.
	But of course Mark Levin says calling him a Mazad asset is racist.
	Mark Levin, of course, willing to sacrifice America for the good of Israel.
	I wonder why.
	I wonder why Mark Levin would be willing to do that.
	Raises some interesting questions, doesn't it?
	Why would Mr. Levin care so much for Israel and so little for the country that has made him wealthy, that has given him his platforms, that has given him the audience that he now uses to push for these kinds of policies?
	Really makes you wonder.
	Cotrin described his final encounter with Epstein painting a picture of a man who appeared far from suicidal.
	Epstein was relaxed in discussing future plans, including additional investments in his islands, having discreetly purchased a second property that Cotrin had visited and spending more time in Paris.
	I drove him to Le Bourget Airport.
	It was a Saturday because on Monday, he was supposed to appear before the judge regarding all these accusations, the longtime servant said.
	The gravity of the situation became clear shortly after Epstein's departure, according to Cotrin.
	When I got home, two young women rang his main girlfriend who had been with him officially for several years, Carina Shuliak, another who worked for him, and then they told me mister Epstein has gone to prison.
	He arrived in New York.
	The police were waiting for him.
	Cotron also claimed that he worked dozens of times at Epstein's properties.
	In New York, Palm Beach, Florida.
	Nope, apparently.
	I forgot about this part.
	I read it late last night.
	Epstein's properties in New York, Palm Beach, Florida, and on Little St. James, Epstein's private Caribbean island, dubbed by the media's pedophile and where he is said to have trapped and raped off an underached girls.
	So no, this guy was not just confined to Paris.
	He's been in all of Epstein's properties, apparently.
	Except for maybe that weirdo ranch he had going on with the eugenics compound.
	You trusted me completely, said Cotrin.
	It was not worked since his boss's death six years ago, adding that he never saw Epstein commit any sex crimes.
	I was his chauffeur, his cook, his housekeeper.
	Wonder if he managed the videotape archive as well.
	I did everything in Paris.
	I was his only full-time paid-up employee and worked for him from 2001 till his death.
	If someone could have seen something, it's Valdson.
	There's no one else, he said.
	Epstein was found unresponsive in his cell at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in New York City on August 10th, 2019, at 6.30 AM, hanging from his bed.
	The shadowy investor was pronounced dead at New York Downtown Hospital at 6.39 AM.
	The Department of Justice and the New York City Medical Examiner ruled his death a suicide by hanging.
	6.30 is when he's found.
	6.39 is when they get him to the downtown hospital.
	That must be right next door.
	Getting anywhere in New York in nine minutes is borderline impossible.
	My goodness.
	They were flying.
	However, Mark Epstein, the brother of Jeffrey Epstein, has consistently rejected the government's conclusion and repeatedly stated that he does not believe his brother took his own life.
	And I think I think all of us here would agree that he did not take his own life.
	I believe he was killed, because I believe that a day after he died, and I heard on CNN that he was found dead from assumed suicide, Mark Epstein said.
	They came out of the autopsy and they both concurred that this looked more like a homicide than a suicide.
	One of the major things was the three broken bones in his neck.
	Now doctor Baden has done about 500 autopsies.
	He's been doing this for over 50 years.
	And I've spoken to other pathologists and they say, you know, on a soft hanging, which is supposedly what Jeffrey was supposed to have done, you know, you might get a broken bone, maybe two, but no one's ever seen three broken bones in this kind of hanging, Mark Epstein said.
	Earlier in July, the joint GODOJ FBI memo, of course, that's Trump's, declared an exhaustive review of evidence from Epstein's death, definitively ruled out murder.
	Of course he was killed under Donald Trump and Bill Barr's watch.
	No, no, no, no murder here.
	The agencies also denied the existence of a client list.
	Wait a minute, I thought Dan Bongino looked at this and he said it was suicide.
	It's hard to believe, but he's seen the tapes.
	It was suicide.
	Good old Dan Bongino and Cash Patel.
	Dan, as I've said, really sold it.
	You could see he definitely didn't look like he was choking and barely able to get the words out.
	Didn't look like he had a thousand yards stare.
	Very glassy eyed during that entire interview.
	Just the agencies also denied the existence of a client list tied to Epstein, directly contradicting earlier remarks by Attorney General Pam Bondi.
	And of course it was Dershowitz when we played that clip the other day that said, well, you know, client list implies purchase and sex trafficking is a very specific term, you know, and it means you have to be paying for things like that.
	So perhaps he was just providing these underage prostitutes out of the goodness of his heart.
	No, he wasn't, perhaps he wasn't being paid for them.
	Maybe it was all just so Massad could have blackmail.
	And of course he turned off all of the many, many cameras all throughout his island that people have pointed out many times whenever they were over there and he was providing these women out of the goodness of his heart, these girls.
	They just happened to always be off.
	Well, that's enough about the shady financier.
	It always straight, it's always funny to me that that's how they first describe him in all these articles.
	Not, you know, likely sex trafficker, likely pedophile.
	No, he's a shady financier.
	It is strange the number of things Epstein had his money tied into.
	Even so far as some small YouTube channels, I recently learned about this.
	Some of you may have heard of someone by the name of J.F. Gareppi.
	He was a fairly small-time YouTuber and still a small-time YouTuber.
	And he was able to get $25,000 out of Jeffrey Epstein.
	He used to work at Duke in some capacity, Duke University.
	And he said, I'm doing this kind of research.
	I'm doing this.
	I'm doing that.
	Sent Jeffrey Epstein an email.
	And Epstein sent him a check for $25,000.
	And this is a guy that's supposedly on the right-wing sphere, getting funded by Jeffrey Epstein.
	Or at least getting a one-time check for $25,000.
	He had his money going all kinds of different places.
	It's truly amazing.
	And we only know about this because J.F. Garepi himself came out and admitted it.
	It's very strange, the web that Epstein was involved with.
	Very, very strange indeed.
	J.F. Gareppi is also a very, very strange individual.
	Possibly murdered his own wife.
	Lots of lots of internet lore there involving JF.
	Well, I can see why Epstein would want to fund him then.
	Very true.
	Man after.
	Overlapping interests, I bet.
	I won't get any more into JF.
	That's not what this show is about.
	But my goodness, there is some dark, insidious things that have happened around that man.
	Trump weighs loosening regulations on marijuana.
	Prohibition, of course, does not work.
	It hasn't worked on marijuana.
	It didn't work for alcohol.
	It just created people like Al Capone when they did it for alcohol, and it's given us the drug cartels we see today with marijuana.
	President Trump is considering a shift on marijuana policy that could see the drug reclassified as less dangerous, a move that pot industry leaders have aggressively lobbied for, and that could open the door to looser regulations and more profits for cannabis companies.
	The push gains steam after Trump met with major donors, including Kim Rivers, CEO of TrueLieve, a major marijuana company, at a high-dollar fundraiser at his New Jersey golf club earlier this month.
	Per the Wall Street Journal, attendees say Rivers urged Trump to support reclassifying marijuana and expand medical research.
	Trump reportedly signaled interest and asked staff to look into it.
	And personally, we don't, at the David Knight Show, encourage the use of alcohol or marijuana, but we understand that they have their place.
	Marijuana has been shown to be a benefit for people with certain illnesses, whether it's cancer or others.
	And who knows, maybe there's even more uses for it that we haven't really been able to ascertain simply because of the way it's been classified for so many years.
	And of course, my dad is a teetotaler, does not drink alcohol, has never drunk alcohol.
	The ask, bump marijuana from being a Schedule 1 drug to Schedule 3, which stops short of full legalization but would significantly ease restrictions over tax breaks and boost medical research.
	Of course, it was the UN that created these schedules for the drugs.
	They created the scheduling system, passed it to Richard Nixon, and in they went.
	Yeah.
	And of course, a lot of this model legislation starts out with some think tank here in the U.S. or one of the other countries, gets passed to the UN.
	The UN adopts it and then passes it back.
	It's this giant round robin of corruption and ways of taking your freedom.
	Charlie Kirk smokes Trump over push to reclassify marijuana as a less dangerous drug.
	He says everything already smells like weed.
	Charlie Kirk doesn't like personal freedom.
	He's not going to.
	If everything already smells like weed, does that mean that it's already very common and yet society hasn't collapsed?
	Come on, Charlie.
	These people, they're already doing it.
	Look, They need to be criminals.
	I want these people locked up.
	Kirk slammed the change in classification that Trump is reportedly considering, saying the drug shouldn't be downgraded because it ruins public spaces.
	We don't want to offend poor Charlie.
	Mr. Kirk can't handle it when he's out in public and he smells marijuana.
	He doesn't like the smell of marijuana and this will get him up in arms.
	But he won't say anything about the mRNA conjob pulled by Donald Trump.
	Thing is, they aren't going to make it legal to smoke it in public spaces.
	That's still going to be, you know, ticketed and probably enforced more than it is now, since currently it's not being enforced at all because it's so onerous when they do enforce anything.
	Charlie Kirk, of course, has styled himself as a Christian conservative apologist, but continually partners with homosexuals and people that do not share the ideology, promoting all kinds of nonsense.
	Charlie Kirk is a very, very effective grifter.
	I'm sure he's made himself a lot of money.
	Cares about the smell of marijuana, but not civil asset forfeiture and the ways that the drug schedule laws and the war on drugs are used to destroy lives.
	The article continues.
	MAGA podcaster Charlie Kirk.
	He is definitely a MAGA podcaster.
	They've got him there.
	Had a social media outburst of reports that President Donald Trump is considering reclassifying marijuana as a less dangerous drug, complaining that everything already smells like weed.
	He says, I hope this doesn't happen.
	We need to protect public spaces for kids.
	Everything already smells like weed, which is ridiculous.
	Let's make it harder to ruin public spaces.
	Not easier.
	And then, if you want to protect kids, Charlie, perhaps you shouldn't be partnering and hanging around with people involved with the LGBT movement.
	That's what would really protect children, Charlie.
	High Boost says no cop is wasting his time to haul you in for a joint.
	Isn't worth the paperwork.
	Exactly.
	That's the real reason you're smelling it everywhere.
	It's if it were something that were more easily enforced, like I don't know if people are really doing wide-scale jury nullification or anything, but I feel like a lot of the weed stuff, the government is kind of waving it away.
	It's sort of de facto legal at this point.
	Yeah, they're easing up on the restrictions because everyone can see that the restrictions are way too harsh right now.
	And also ineffective.
	Yeah, if it were just a fine for smoking in public, it would be easier to enforce, I believe.
	Yeah.
	When we lived in Austin, if you know, sometimes I'd go out with people to hang out and we'd end up someplace in the downtown area.
	They like to go to bars.
	I don't drink, but I like to hang out and they've got some good food.
	And there would just be people smoking weed all over the street in Austin.
	The cops generally did not care.
	As you said, it wasn't worth the effort.
	It was more paperwork for them than it was gain for the state.
	Says the Drug Enforcement Administration defines Schedule 1 as a drug with no currently accepted medical use and a high potential for abuse.
	But of course, that was the UN's scheduling system.
	That's where they got it.
	And we've also seen, this is absurd.
	Marijuana has uses for the medical industry.
	They just refuse to admit it.
	sniff
	But of course, Charlie Kirk is just about wrong on everything.
	Anytime Charlie Kirk opens his mouth, you can assume it's going to be just a terrible, terrible take.
	A dumb position to hold.
	Got a comment from David Knight.
	Kirk didn't have a problem rooting for the father of the mRNA.
	That is what really stinks.
	Has Kirk ever read the Constitution?
	Where does he find drug war there?
	Charlie Kirk doesn't really have any principles at all.
	He simply says what he thinks will get him the most support from his base.
	This first look at Kamala Harris's book is priceless.
	This is from Zero Hedge.
	As we highlighted last week, Kamala Harris is cashing in on her god-awful failed campaign by releasing a book she claims to have written.
	Well, I don't believe Kamala Harris can read or write, so I'm skeptical.
	It's called 107 Days because that's how long everyone had to endure her word salad cackling before Trump won a massive landslide victory.
	It's also the same amount of time that she managed to burn through $1.5 billion.
	It's truly amazing the level of incompetence and outright malevolence Kamala Harris has displayed.
	We have seen it continually.
	She is possibly the dumbest person to ever run for the presidential office.
	And you've got some heavy hitters, some big contenders like Jeb Bush, and she blows them out of the water.
	It's truly incredible.
	She's up against Mr. Please Clap and making him look like an intellectual giant.
	It also serves as her excuse as to why she lost.
	The title of the book is a suggestion that she didn't have long enough to put together a winning strategy, but given she never even coherently explained one policy, one can only assume it would take her years.
	What do you think will be in her book?
	Will she finally answer the question, how are you different from Joe Biden?
	Ex-Uver user Jarvis has imagined what the content might be like, and it seems pretty accurate.
	You can see the tweet there, and he says, Kamala's book is going to be incredible.
	It says, Tim was a breath of fresh air in the campaign, was largely responsible for the joy vibes that permeated the early days of our partnership.
	Our internal polling had shown that voters described my chronic laughter as off-putting and reminiscent of a witch or a sick horse.
	But Tim said we couldn't turn a negative into a positive by running positive, upbeat, joyful campaign to contrast Donald's darker, more diabolical vibes.
	The early returns were quite positive.
	The joy campaign allowed friendly media to portray us as relatable by engaging in things that ordinary scum did often, such as shopping for potato chips, quote unquote.
	I released a video where Tim and I and some staffers, whose names I forget, went into a grocery store.
	Secret turbs had cleared out as planned.
	Tim picked up a bag of mesquite flavored chips and tossed them to me.
	After about a dozen takes, Tim managed to successfully throw them to me, and I managed to catch them.
	We released the ordinary shoppers from the shed they were locked in and hit the road.
	People loved that video.
	While the public seemed to like Tim initially, the polling showed he was unable to make inroads with young straight men.
	We tried everything, pictures of Tim hunting, fixing cars, talking football.
	But every time we thought we had a winner, Tim would take the stage at an event and prance about and wave frantically with both hands like a complete sissy, and the polls would dive again.
	Of course, this is not from her book.
	This is what user Jarvis on Twitter.
	And his handle is at Jarvis underscore best imagines.
	I imagine that this is far more entertaining than anything Kamala Harris could ever come up with.
	And of course, whatever is in that book is going to be sycophantically written by a ghostwriter.
	It will do everything to make her seem like some kind of saint.
	It'll be unreadable for anyone but the most hardcore liberal.
	This is a good comment here.
	Kamala, isn't this coherent?
	You can tell it was ghostwritten.
	Exactly.
	See, what she should have done is actually had Jarvis write the whole thing.
	Probably would have become a bestseller.
	Some seem to genuinely believe this could really be her writing.
	We could only hope for such an entertaining book from one of our politicians.
	We'll move on.
	From terror sanctions to military strikes, Trump's cartel policy sidesteps Congress.
	Are we going to see the drug war become an actual war?
	Of course, the drug cartels were created by the drug war.
	Federal terrorist lists were not supposed to be an open-ended war authorization, but it sure looks like it's going to be used as one.
	And of course, the CIA was the biggest drug peddler in the United States.
	Very possibly still is.
	Whether it was creating crack cocaine or guarding poppy fields and helping start the opioid epidemic.
	Sometimes the slide down a slippery slope is very fast.
	Soon after taking office, President Donald Trump designated several Mexican Salvadoran and Venezuelan gangs as terrorist groups.
	Many observers, including myself, thought that the listing could be a pretext to start an unauthorized war in Latin America.
	On Friday, the New York Times reported that Trump was doing exactly that.
	The president has secretly signed a directive to the Pentagon to begin using military force against Latin American drug cartels that his administration has deemed terrorist organizations.
	Of course, real wars.
	They seem to love real war, open war, even more than their sort of statutory wars, their legal wars.
	They like Afghanistan more than the drug war here in America.
	As usual, Congress and the American people aren't being given a chance to deliberate on the war they're being committed to, and the media has to play guessing games about what that war will look like.
	It's possible that these attacks on cartels would be carried out in cooperation with friendly governments along the lines of the joint U.S.-Columbian hunt for cocaine kingbin, Pablo Escobar, in 1993.
	El Salvador's President Naeb Bukele is quite eager to be in Trump's good graces, although Mexican President Claudia Scheinbaum, a very old Mexican family, the Sheinbaums, a classic Mexican name, if I've ever heard one.
	Who got into office after how many of the people running against her were assassinated?
	It was like, what, 20-something?
	I think it was like 19.
	I think it was around 19 people were assassinated by the cartels.
	But all the people ahead of her died.
	She was the only one left alive for some inexplicable reason.
	I wonder why.
	The Shinebaums.
	Claudia Scheinbaum has denounced foreign interference in Mexico's war on drugs.
	She has also brushed off reports of U.S. drone overflights as just a little campaign.
	But Trump could also be opening the door to hostile acts of war.
	In 1989, the U.S. used Panamanian President Manuel Noriega's ties to the drug trade as a pretext for regime change, or in painting him a strong man, Noriega.
	The Trump administration certainly seems like it could be ginning up similar justifications for actions against Venezuela.
	Despite intelligence to the contrary, the Trump administration has claimed that the Venezuelan government is controlling the Trende Aragua gang as part of the hostile invasion force.
	Two weeks ago, it added the Cartel de los Soles gang to the terrorist list, accusing the Venezuelan president Nicolas Maduro of running it.
	And on Thursday, the Justice Department announced a $50 million bounty for information leading to Maduro's capture.
	The terrorism designation gives us legal authorities to target them in ways you can't do if they're just a bunch of criminals.
	It's no longer a law enforcement issue.
	It becomes a national security issue, Secretary of State Marco Rubio told EWTN, a Catholic news channel on Thursday.
	It allows us to now target what they're operating and to use other elements of American power, intelligence agencies, the Department of Defense, whatever, to target these groups.
	If we have an opportunity to do it, we have to start threatening, treating them as armed organized terrorist organizations, not simply drug dealing organizations.
	The foreign terrorist organization FDO and specially designated global terrorist SDGT lists were not originally meant to be a war authorization.
	Instead, they're an economic sanction.
	1996, Congress made it illegal for Americans to give material support to an FTO.
	As defined by the State Department after the 9-11 attacks, the Bush administration tasked the Treasury's Office of Foreign Asset Control with seizing property of SDGTs.
	But Hawks have been trying to turn these designations into war authorizations for years.
	Perennial war enthusiast Senator Tom Cotton tried and failed in 2020 to pass a blanket declaration of war against any group on the FTO list.
	At the time, Senator Tim Kaine pointed out the circular logic behind authorizing the president to attack any enemy defined by the president.
	Could lead to some trouble down the line.
	The FTO list has never been a war authorization, Kaine said.
	It's created by the administration.
	It adds names To it.
	Whatever the label means legally, calling someone a terrorist is still a powerful political tool.
	Instead of asking Congress for proactive permission to go to war in the past few presidents, they've simply started wars and dared Congress to stop them, since nobody wants to be seen as soft on terrorism.
	Congress has been reluctant to push back on wars in progress.
	Again, it's hard to know exactly how Trump's secret directive will play out on the ground.
	However, it's not hard to guess how it will play out inside Washington.
	The administration will continue to tease out just enough information to show that it's taking tough action, but not enough information to debate whether that action is a good idea until it's too late to stop.
	And that's from Reason Magazine.
	Nights of the Storm says Kamala's book is a coloring book.
	Fun for the entire family.
	You can cackle in such famous scenes as her famous scenes as her cackling in every interview.
	You can color the school buses yellow, because who doesn't like a yellow school bus?
	Her bid for the presidency was a joke on the American people.
	She stood no chance.
	She was the most unlikable person who has ever run for president.
	Bard Hunt.
	Hillary Clinton is somehow more personable and likable than Kamala Harris.
	It's truly amazing.
	It boggles my mind.
	Mexico's president draws red line, U.S. kinetic operations against drug cartels not welcome on her soil.
	The United States is not going to come to Mexico with the military.
	We cooperate, we collaborate.
	There's not going to be an invasion.
	That is ruled out, absolutely ruled out, Scheinbaum said.
	Once again, Scheinbaum, old Mexican family.
	It was quoted by a new New York Times report.
	She said that her administration would review Trump's order.
	She emphasized it is not part of any agreement.
	Far from it, when it has been brought up, we have already said no.
	Trump's hemispheric defense push to secure the Americas has been to target drug cartels designated as FTOs.
	These targets include Cartel de los Soles, Trendi Aragua, and the Sinaloa Cartel.
	The aim here is to disrupt the financial command and control nodes first, which is underway, then the physical structure of these organizations, all to break the flow of fentanyl and human trafficking in the U.S. through the southern border.
	Mexican officials claim they had no advance warning of Trump's directive.
	However, Scheinbaum said U.S. counterparts had hinted that they would deploy U.S. forces for capture-slash-kill missions, maritime interdictions, and cross-border SOF raids against high-value cartel targets.
	Trump's new directive signals a hardened approach to ending the fentanyl crisis, mainly driven by FTOs in Mexico supplied with precursor chemicals from China.
	This drug death crisis claims more than 100,000 American lives each year and has become a central mandate for Trump to address.
	The crisis exacerbated by the Biden-Harris regime, a regime's globalist open-border nation-killing policies, amounts to what some believe is hybrid warfare waged by the Chinese Communist Party.
	U.S. President is now moving to put a stop to this chemical warfare on its citizens.
	Of course, addiction is a spiritual problem.
	Addiction is something that you have to address at the root, which again is spiritual.
	No amount of physical force will truly handle it.
	Abbott vows indefinite special sessions, says fleeing Dems could face arrest for literally years.
	Governor says he'll call special sessions indefinitely to maintain a rest threat for lawmakers who fled the state.
	Texans Governor Greg Abbott warned state Democrats that the threat of arrest upon returning to Texas will last for literally years on Sunday.
	Abbott made the statement during an interview on Fox News.
	With O'Shannon Bream, he argued it is within his authority to keep the Texas legislature in special session indefinitely, extending the penalties for Democrats who fled the state.
	I'm authorized to call a special session every 30 days.
	It lasts 30 days.
	And as soon as this one is over, I'm going to call another one, and then another one, then another one, then another one, Abbott said.
	Personally, good for him.
	I'm all in favor of this.
	These people want to flee the state, abscond, not do their jobs.
	Well, guess what?
	Anytime you come back, you're going to face the consequences.
	If they show back up in the state of Texas, they will be arrested and taken to the Capitol.
	If they want to evade that arrest, they're going to have to stay outside of Texas for literally years, He added.
	Nope, sorry.
	You don't get to come home.
	The warning comes as Abbott is seeking to remove delinquent Democrats from office, arguing that they have abdicated their roles under the state constitution.
	We have a constitution where lawmakers are violating the law in Article 3 of the Texas Constitution where they are required to act on bills.
	Because they're violating the constitutional mandate, that means they are not fulfilling their oath of office.
	They can be removed from office in this legal action that I'm taking, he said.
	At least 100 members of the 150-member Texas House must be present to conduct business, and approximately 50 Democrats have left.
	Most of the Democrats have set up in Illinois and New York, where they have received the backing of Democratic governors like J.B. Pritzker and Kathy Hochul, both terrible, awful people.
	Lift the hoods.
	Jasmine Crockett likens Republicans to KKK as journalists exposes her ghetto as hell district.
	That's their words.
	U.S. Reb Jasmine Crockett, Democrat Texas is now comparing Republicans in America to both the Ku Klux Klan and neo-Nazis, while a journalist is exposing the shocking blight in her own ghetto as hell district.
	Crockett's comments came during an interview with MSNBC's Ali Belshi on Saturday.
	The topic initially focused on the Texas gerrymandering controversy, as numerous Democrat lawmakers have fled the Lone Star State to prevent redistricting, pushed by the GOP.
	It's not just even the fact that it's gerrymandering.
	I want to be clear, this is racial gerrymandering, specifically in the state of Texas, she explained.
	Belshi noted, Do you hear the stuff they're saying about Gene Wu?
	By the way, talking about Asians, like how he's connected to the Chinese Communist Party, like the racism?
	They're not doing a great job at keeping it, you know, keeping the lid on that pot.
	Crockett responded, No, I mean, honestly, when Trump came in the first time, they started to lift the hoods.
	Once Trump got in a second time, they decided the hoods were off.
	And listen, perfectly fine with it because I want to know where you stand.
	Well, um, Miss Crockett, what you should be saying is they decided to put the hoods on.
	You know, that's what the metaphor, simile, analogy should be.
	Whatever you want to, whatever it is.
	Taking the hoods off would be implying that they are becoming less racist.
	You simpleton, you buffoon, you idiot.
	Crockett responded, no, I mean, honestly, Jasmine Crockett compares Republicans to the KKK.
	I'm perfectly fine with it because I want to know that you're a despicable human being who lacks all morality.
	Why?
	So you can be friends with them?
	So you can work together to siphon more money out of your district?
	It is unfortunate that this is where we are.
	And it is one reason that it is so difficult for minorities to even try to listen to Republicans because they consistently coddle people like neo-Nazis.
	This is, again, the term Nazi, neo-Nazi, white supremacists, they've all lost their meaning.
	They've all lost any sort of bite over the years because people like her have repeatedly used them to bully, badger, and belittle anyone that they disagreed with.
	They have continually used them as a way to terminate someone's social capital, terminate their ability to have any sort of social life or even keep a job.
	I've seen people online saying, man, I miss when people, when you call people a Nazi and they would deny it.
	People have learned that it doesn't really matter if they deny it, if they accept it.
	And the fact that you guys have used that label for everything and everyone means it has lost all meaning.
	It has become empty.
	Doesn't really matter anymore.
	You'll call anyone slightly right of Karl Marx a Nazi.
	Very much like Herbert Marcuse would appreciate.

	�� The common man.
	They created Common Core to dumb down our children.
	They created Common Past to track and control us.
	Their Commons project to make sure the Commoners own nothing and the Communist Future.
	They see the Common Man as simple, unsophisticated, ordinary.
	But each of us has worth and dignity created in the image of God.
	That is what we have in common.
	That is what they want to take away.
	Their most powerful weapons are isolation, 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.
