Trump Continues With Fake Emergencies & Martial Law Just Like 2020
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
I think this is very, very important because Trump is going full dictator on emergencies.
He has done more emergency executive orders than any other president.
And this is a trend we're seeing with each successive administration, whether it's Democrat or Republican.
And I don't think that these two parties have a different agenda.
I think this is a left-right march.
I think what we're seeing here is that Biden and others will prepare what Trump has an excuse then to come in, although I don't think that he's got an excuse to do what he's currently doing.
Just as Trump sold the pandemic so that he could sell the vaccine.
So as we look at the fact that he's talking about D.C. home rule and sending in the National Guard, look, he ought to use the D.C. Home Rule Act to change the people who are running the city, to change the police chief and other things like that.
But it is not warranted to create martial law.
And I think that when we look at Trump's first administration, why would we be surprised that he's going to do martial law again?
If you go back and look at MAGA, I think Marshall America, go again.
That's basically what they told the guy.
We like what you did.
We don't care that you locked us down under medical martial law.
We don't care about the massive amounts of money that you shoveled over to pharmaceutical companies and the tyranny that you created and the fact that you trashed the Constitution, trashed our God-given rights.
No, we're going to vote for you again.
And you are our savior.
So Trump has announced that he's going to invoke the D.C. Home Rule to place the D.C. Metropolitan Police Department under federal control and to deploy the National Guard.
Again, there is no riot going on in Washington, D.C. There's no weather emergency.
There's nothing like that.
You basically just need to use the authority to get rid of the people that are there, but use the current structure that's there and the rule of law.
That is the key thing.
So Trump says on True Social, D.C. will be liberated today.
Crime, savagery, filth, and scum will disappear.
I will make our capital great again.
The days of ruthlessly killing or hurting innocent people are over.
I quickly fixed the border.
Zero illegals in the last three months.
And so the question is, you know, yeah, okay, at what cost did you fix the border?
I've had this argument with people over this on social media when I say that, yes, human rights and the rights in the Declaration of Independence apply to foreigners in our country, even if they are here illegally.
And if you disagree with that, go ahead and unfollow me.
Many people have.
But I'll tell you this.
If you're going to deny human rights to human beings, if you're going to deny the rule of law and the Constitution for them, they will deny it for you.
He's already done it five years ago.
What does it take to get these people to wake up?
I don't understand.
Let me just remind you that the worst criminal is somebody who sits there with the authority of government behind him.
There is no worse criminal than somebody who has an army.
There's no worse criminal than somebody who thumbs his nose at the Constitution like it was his marriage vows to his former wives, if you want to call them that.
It's just amazing to me.
So executive order yet again.
He filed one earlier this year to say D.C. safe and beautiful task force call for increasing law enforcement presence in public areas.
This guy wants a police surveillance state.
He is pouring money hand over fist into Palantir and these surveillance agencies.
He's telling the police to ignore the law, to ignore your rights, to ignore everybody's rights.
He's creating concentration camps across the country.
What does it take to wake up these MAGA fools?
Some people can be fooled constantly, and they're the biggest problem.
They're a bigger problem than the guy that they're empowering.
He said a group of 100 youths took over the park near D.C. Capitol, firing shots, launching fireworks, riding dirt bikes.
Well, okay, again, replace the political leadership, replace the police.
But you don't set up martial law.
That's a very different thing.
Reforming the police department, reforming civil government, is not the same as martial law.
He always takes the problems that Biden has lobbed to him like a softball pitch, and he takes it over the top.
And that's what he's doing here.
He's going to have martial law in America go again.
Didn't you love it when it happened five years ago?
We somehow managed to have civilization without martial law for quite a while.
Yeah, I know.
Anyway, activating the National Guard.
Crime is bad, but there is no riot that is going on.
There is no weather emergency that's taking out power and all that kind of stuff.
There is no emergency.
And it says fake emergencies.
Again, I made it sound like we got some kind of emergency broadcast like Alex does all the time.
It is really an emergency broadcast about Trump's emergencies.
The local officials argue that crime is actually decreasing.
Well, I don't think that is the case, but one way or the other, there are ways to handle this without martial law.
This is not a binary decision.
It's a stupid decision.
It's a dangerous decision.
For Trump, the effort to take over public safety in Washington reflects an escalation of his aggressive approach to law enforcement and his utter contempt for the rule of law, especially the Constitution.
I refuse to call the man president.
If he has divorced himself from the Constitution, he has divorced himself from any authority that he has in that office, and he doesn't deserve the title.
I will not refer to Donald as president.
He's an occupant.
He's a usurper.
He's an authoritarian dictator trying to rule by emergency.
Just like Biden, by the way, before Trump, I said Biden was the most authoritarian politician I'd ever seen in my life.
He had his fingerprints all over the mandatory minimums and all the other abuses, civil asset forfeiture, RICO, all the rest of that stuff.
Biden was there from the very beginning using the drug war to establish a police state.
And I remember, and I've said this many times, when he was head of the Judiciary Committee during Clarence Thomas's confirmation, he constantly haranged Clarence Thomas over Clarence Thomas talking about natural law and natural rights.
He hated that concept.
Well, that's the concept that the Declaration of Independence was written on.
Biden hated the thing, which he couldn't remember, of course.
And I said he is the person who has more contempt for our liberties than any person I've seen in my lifetime.
But now we have Trump because the two of them are like a tag team match.
And the interesting thing to me is that these partisan people, they can see it, the Republicans can see it in Biden, and the Democrats can see it in Trump.
But they can't see it in their own guy because they're the problems.
This is why the founders hated factions, hated political parties.
Trump said, What you need is rules and regulations, and you need the right people to implement them.
Well, that's not the military, and that's not to federalize the police.
And maybe what we do is we start obeying the rules and regulations from the top down.
How about that, Donald?
You know, the John Burke Society, and I remember long before other people caught on, they understood the danger of federalizing the police.
And I'm hoping that they're going to take this on.
I've not seen anything from them yet about this.
But that was something that they could clearly see happening when I was a child.
And we had all these that would support your local sheriff, support your local police, all these bumper stickers.
They even had a James Garner Comedy Western that would support your local sheriff.
It became something of a meme, even without social media.
And it is there for a good reason.
We do not want to have the police federalized.
So the military is preparing to deploy National Guard in D.C. This is martial law.
And the lockdowns that Trump did last time he was in office was martial law as well.
Trump is expected to announce a news conference Of the White House that up to several hundred D.C. National Guardsmen will be sent to support law enforcement officers in the Capitol.
Nor the details were available on Monday.
Well, we'll see what happens.
Maybe it'll be a taco.
Let's hope that Trump will chicken out.
But I don't think so because he's also boasting about how he wants to do this in Democrat cities.
He says he throws out name-drops, New York, Chicago, and L.A. You know, we're coming for D.C. Now we're going to come for the big leftist cities as well.
Trump said his administration is going to look at deploying U.S. military to other American cities, including Chicago, New York, and L.A., at a press conference where he announced that he was taking federal control of the police department in Washington, D.C. That's fine.
But the National Guard and claiming that this is an emergency is the issue.
Trump then revealed he's considering a similar move in other cities, including New York.
And I say that it's fine because D.C. is not like New York, Chicago, or L.A. The District of Columbia does not have representation.
This is a big thing.
We want to have a person in Congress and all the rest.
It was carved out specifically so it was not a state government.
It was and is under the authority of the federal government.
That's why I say taking over the police department, taking over the political positions in the city.
I don't really have a problem with that.
But now he wants to use that as an example in a phony emergency, just like he did five years ago, this phony pandemic.
He wants to use that as a pattern to go into other cities that he doesn't like.
He says, then I'm going to look at New York in a little while.
He went on to note that his administration is considering sending the military into Chicago, and he mocked the Democratic governor of Illinois.
Look, Pritzker is eminently mockable.
When you look at a picture of him and his doppelganger cousin, who is now a tranny, it's hilarious.
And that's what that family has done.
They've got the Hyatt family.
They're all filthy rich, and they have focused on trying to make America filthy.
They have really pushed this tranny agenda.
His family has, but Trump says, we have a mayor there who's totally incompetent, talking about Chicago, an incompetent man, and we have an incompetent governor there.
Pritzker is incompetent.
His family threw him out of the business, and he ran for governor.
Now I understand he wants to be president.
I noticed that he lost a little weight, so now he has a chance.
It's all about appearance and reality TV and programming, all the rest of the stuff for Trump.
Nothing about principles.
That's why he doesn't have a problem with phony emergencies and martial law.
He said, hopefully L.A. is watching as well.
Look, if the Democrats want to impeach him for something, impeach him for this type of thing if he does it.
None of this nonsense like RussiaGate.
The impeachments that they had against him the first time were nonsense.
And it was as ridiculous as his criticisms of Pritzker.
There's plenty to criticize Pritzker about.
Much of what you could criticize Pritzker for was the kind of things that he did in 2020 that were virtually identical to what Trump was doing.
So yeah, criticize him for that.
But look, if somebody is just going to throw the Constitution away and wants to set up surveillance, wants to lock down our free speech at the demands of a foreign government, Israel, or unregistered foreign agents like APAC, impeach him for that.
Of course, they want to impeach him for his catering to APAC, but they should impeach him for the federalizing of the police and the rest of this stuff.
I've got a couple of comments here before we take a quick break.
High Booth says, David's right.
Trump literally keeps claiming fake emergencies to do whatever he wants.
Where did he get that idea?
COVID rings a bell.
Yeah.
And guess what?
He got away with it.
He got away with it.
The Democrats never came after him for that.
And just like Democrats and Republicans never came after James Clapper for lying to Congress about their surveillance of American citizens without a search warrant.
And they let that expire with the statute of limitations.
And yet, look at what is happening now with Republicans.
They're filing referrals to the Department of Justice over perjury for Jerome Powell because he had some of the details wrong about their extravagant remodeling of the Federal Reserve Building.
Fire him for the extravagant remodeling.
Don't fire him for lying about the details of the extravagant remodeling.
Fire them because the Federal Reserve Act is an abomination.
It was put in as a trick.
Nyso Storm says, let's hope that the National Guard will observe their oaths.
Unfortunately, most good military have been purged.
That's what Trump did.
It's amazing to watch the progression of this stuff.
It really was planned out in advance.
You know, you get the good people out of the military, then you declare martial law.
You're absolutely right, Jason.
Cecilia 14, David, we may as well have Palantir as president.
Oh, wait, we do.
J.D. Palantir, Trump's handler, and in the shadows will come forth when they decide.
I agree.
Yeah, he is absolutely connected to Peter Thiel and these people.
Wright Overture says the police were hired by the city of D.C. Trump can't constitutionally fire those cops.
Well, I think that when you look at the District of Columbia, and I haven't looked at it carefully enough, but it's not like a state or local government.
Congress has say over certain things that happen there.
And of course, Congress isn't going to do anything.
Congress is being led by this sycophant Mike Johnson, who lets Trump do whatever Trump wants.
They will never question anything he does.
Nyso Storm says, why can't Maiga see that all his campaign promises from his first term never happened, even though he says they did?
And we're seeing that again, aren't we?
Well, earlier, Travis talked about the kind of the fascist model of governing that is happening with Trump and the fact that he is setting up capitalism, a move towards state capitalism with American characteristics.
And I've always thought it was very interesting to see China as a mixture of that.
Of course, the Wall Street Journal guy said, you know, people always said that China would move towards the American model as things went along, but no, they didn't.
And why?
Because of the authoritarianism that they had.
You know, it was moving in that direction.
And then they put the brakes on at Tiananmen Square.
And then they stepped on the gas to go back to the other direction.
But you can have an authoritarian Communist Party, and you can have crony capitalism and corruption at the same time.
China is an interesting state because it is a mixture of communism and fascism.
When we talk about fascism, I talk about it economically in the sense that it's a fusion of the government and of corporations.
You don't get to open up a business or have a successful business in China unless you're in with the Chinese Communist Party.
And if you're one of the crooks in the club, like Guo, this guy that's hooked up with Steve Bannon in the past, he became a billionaire, and then he fell out with the club.
And he had to flee China, and they've been after him since that.
But that is the kind of model that you see happening of the Trump administration.
All of these billionaires buying influence with him, giving him gifts and all the rest of this stuff.
It's disgusting to see this kind of corruption.
I think this administration is setting a whole new pattern, and I'm worried that it's going to stick around after Trump is gone.
But it is a kind of corrupt fascist authoritarianism.
And of course, when you think about fascism, the popular idea is that fascism was all about nationalism, hypernationalism.
Well, you see that in China.
You see that with Trump as well.
It's not just the merger of state and corporations.
And as part of this, you see the massive amount of personal enrichment that Trump has already made in the first six months.
This is from Wall Street.
This is Wall Street Journal had a report on this.
But dizzying some experts alarmed at the staggering fortune that Trump has raked in as president in just his first six months.
He's elevated self-dealing to an unprecedented level during his presidency, according to a new deep dive by David Kirkpatrick in the New Yorker, actually said Wall Street Journal, it was a New Yorker, this published yesterday.
Experts are alarmed by his apparent lack of concern for how this appears to the public.
Why should he care?
The Democrats hate him so much personally, there wasn't anything that he could do that they wouldn't take exception to.
And the GOP partisans love him so much that there isn't anything that he could do that they wouldn't excuse.
Kirkpatrick estimated that Trump has raked in $3.4 billion in presidential profits.
He calls that a dizzying sum.
When Trump was first elected in 2016, there were extensive conflicts ranging from Secret Service paying for services at his properties to the Trump Hotel in D.C. being patronized by foreign dignitaries looking to curry favor.
But back then, even as the president refused to release his tax returns, at least Trump wanted to create the impression he was working through the ethical issues.
And I said this at the time, I said they want the tax returns because he's got very complicated tax returns.
And they could use them and portray them any way they wanted.
I mean, that would be just a target-rich environment to go through that stuff.
That's a criticism not of Trump, that's a criticism of the income tax structure.
And folks, he's not going to do anything to get rid of that.
He's still talking about how he's going to give permanent tax breaks here and change this tax code over there.
There's no restructuring of this, and they're not going to make enough money.
They want you to think that they're going to make enough money off of tariffs to support this gargantuan government.
They don't have enough money combined from tariffs and the income tax to cover the money that they're spending.
The spending is the problem.
And if they're going to continue to get government involved in things for which it has no legitimate authority, we're going to continue to run up these massive deficits.
Per Trump's tax lawyer at the time, Sherry Dylan, she said, since Trump's star turn on the NBC reality show The Apprentice, the Trump organization has mainly sold the use of his name.
She said most of its profits came from developers who flew the Trump flag over the building that he didn't build or own, or from businesses that used his name to sell shirts, mattresses, or pizza.
By the way, there was an article that was picked up on the mainstream press, the anti-Trump press, and they said MAGA is eating its own, that ICE had come in and taken out the owner of a business that sold Trump burgers and other things like that.
Piggybacked on that.
And I looked at that and I thought, you know, I think that is as much about his infringement on the name as it is his infringement on the country coming here illegally.
But nevertheless, anyway, if Trump tried to offload his whole company, Dylan explained, a buyer might overpay in order to curry favor with the president.
Or just as worrisome, he might demean the highest office in the land by crassily cashing in on the president's name.
Trump and his family, Dylan declared, would never do anything that might be perceived to be exploitative of the office of presidency.
But she's long gone from representing the Trump family.
And this article says now even the pretense of guardrails is off.
A $2 billion investment from a fund controlled by the Saudi crown prince.
A luxury jet from the Emir of Qatar.
Profits from at least five different ventures peddling crypto.
Fees from an exclusive club stocked with cabinet officials and named the executive branch.
Meanwhile, Trump Jr. said in a recent meeting that when it comes to foreign deals, the Trumps will no longer lock themselves, quote, in a proverbial padded room because it almost doesn't matter.
They're going to hit you no matter what well he's right about that that's what i said he gets away with this and he's taking us into this dictatorship and this kind of corrupt uh crony capitalism because they know that no matter what the left is going to criticize him and i we also know don't we that no matter what maga will always make an excuse for him They never end with the excuses.
They're constantly going.
As a matter of fact, when Trump said that he was going to Alaska, as he was talking about martial law in DC, and he's got the Secretary of Defense there as well as Pam Bondi, Department of Justice Attorney General, He says this.
Emergency.
And it's embarrassing for me to be up here.
You know, I'm going to see Putin.
I'm going to Russia on Friday.
You're going to Russia.
You're talking about how unsafe and how dirty and disgusting this once beautiful capital was.
Yeah, he went full Sarah Palin.
I can see Russia from here.
Well, you know, he's going to Alaska.
He said he's going to Russia.
And if you look at that tweet that I pull back from, underneath it are all these people from MAGA making excuses for him.
Well, of course, because it's so close to Russia, it's like going to Russia.
And we got it from Russia and all the rest of this stuff.
It's just that no matter what he does, even something as minor as that.
And of course, the left is trying to make a big deal out of that, saying, listen, he's not mentally sound.
He doesn't even know where he's going.
He's calling Alaska Russia.
And that's an overstep.
But they don't say that.
Instead, they try to, oh, yeah, he's absolutely right.
It is Russia.
This is the partisan blinders on both sides that are going to wind up getting us all living in a dictatorship here.
Ethics reform attorney Fred Wertheimer said, when it comes to using his public office to amass personal profits, Trump is a unicorn.
No one else even comes close, he said.
He said, we'll never really know just how much Trump profited from the presidency, although it certainly is in the billions.
He doesn't talk about it anymore.
He may be the greatest con artist in American history.
Well, I would definitely agree with that assessment.
The original article from David Kirkpatrick was titled, How Much is Trump Profiting Off of the Presidency.
And it truly is amazing when you look at it.
Well, we're going to take a quick break here.
And by the way, before we leave this, Don Jr. is also debuting direct sales product for pharmaceutical companies.
Yeah, his daddy set the stage for that, didn't he?
How much did he get paid under the table for pushing out mRNA and for channeling money to Pfizer and to Moderna?
That was disgusting, the amount of money that he threw at them to make that poison.
And it was also disgusting to see how his own people had, you know, were out there pushing people to the cult to inject the Kool-Aid into their arms.
So I wonder how much they got kicked back from warp speed.
But that's what Don Jr. is doing now.
So you think they're really going to pull in pharmaceutical companies when the Trump family is making money, so much money from pharmaceutical companies.
And look, he wants to have direct sale products for pharmaceutical companies.
So the pharmaceutical, you won't have the ask your doctor anymore tagline on there.
Instead, go this website and we'll sell it to you directly.
There's never enough money for them.
And they don't want you to have any information.
You know, I was shut down off of these different sites off of Spotify and others because they didn't want me talking about what was happening with pharmaceutical products.
And they want to keep that quiet.
They have different things that they want to cover up now, but it's always about free speech.
They want to sell products directly to patients, direct sale platforms, and it could be an example of potential conflicts of interest, they say.
Well, of course it is.
Of course it is.
Don Jr. is going to sell the stuff and they'll go back and they'll say, well, yeah, look at the difference.
Hunter Biden actually used the pharmaceuticals or maybe non-pharmaceuticals.
But the Democrats have got Hunter Biden and we've got Rick Perry who's now made it his life mission to sell this drug that is like a, you know, truly is a pharmake, truly is sorcery, and the listenogenic to rewire your brain.
He says that is now going to be his life's work.
Well, good for you.
The Commerce Department, meanwhile, is threatening to take down ownership of Harvard's patents.
You know, why are we giving $9 billion with a B to Harvard?
That is an outrage.
There is no authority in the Constitution to give a single penny to universities.
Harvard was the first university and it was a private university.
I remember when we were in North Carolina, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill was the first state university founded quite some time after Harvard, a private university was.
When this country was founded, we didn't have the government involved in funding universities and the rest of the stuff.
That's why you can't afford to go to college anymore because they have subsidized it.
Whenever you subsidize it, it gets more expensive.
And so even the state schools are getting virtually unaffordable, but certainly the private schools.
So they get $9 billion a year.
And nobody, Republican or Democrat, has a problem with that in Washington until they criticized Israel, until they allowed free speech on their campus criticizing a foreign government.
Now they want to take the money away for that.
And if they were to crack down on that, they'd be more than happy to let Harvard continue to get the $9 billion, plus collect royalties off of patents that they have produced after the subsidies from the government.
So the government gives them $9 billion.
Much of this is in terms of research grants.
And if the research grants produce a product, Harvard keeps the products.
How do we stop that kind of corruption?
It is truly outrageous.
But of course, when you look at the National Institutes of Health, where Fauci was, those people get to keep the royalties.
They're employees of the federal government.
And if they develop anything there at the NIH that they could sell, they get to keep the patents for that.
That was part of the outrage.
And of course, there's been no investigation of that.
People are constantly talking about, well, show us the documents for Oklahoma City or show us the documents for the JFK assassination or show us the documents for the Epstein file.
Hey, how about this?
Just show us the documents for who got the royalties in the NIH.
Could we even know that?
No, everything in Washington is hidden from you while they want to use Palantir to make your life an open book to them, even being able to predict what you're going to do.
Federal government is looking at Harvard University's patent rights.
The Department of Commerce is initiating a so-called march-in process under the Bay-Dole Act, a federal patent policy allowing recipients of federal funds to retain patent rights over their inventions made with federal funding.
The Act's March-In rights, however, give the federal government the authority to grant licenses of such patents to third parties under certain conditions where federally funded interventions are not being adequately developed or utilized for the public good.
So what they could do is they could go in and they could make these patents public domain, essentially.
But nobody else has done that before.
Lucky Lutnik said that Harvard has, quote, failed to live up to its obligations to the American taxpayer.
It doesn't have any obligations to the American taxpayer because there's no obligations Lutnik defined in the Constitution because it was never intended that they would be given $9 billion.
That's the problem.
These people always address a secondary or tertiary problem and they'll never get back to the root cause, which is ignoring the Constitution, which is the rule of law.
It says in breach of the statutory, regulatory, and contractual requirements tied to Harvard's federally funded research programs.
Well, you know what?
If they got statutes or regulations or contracts, if they don't align with the Constitution, which they don't, the Tenth Amendment says if you anything that's powers that have not been delegated to you by the states, you cannot infer or create those.
And so that's basically what they've done, whether they did it with statutes or regulatory stuff or contracts.
So they're talking about the federally funded research programs and taking the intellectual property that was a result of that.
Lutnik said the federal government intends to license Harvard's patents to third parties.
And he's probably got some friends who are lined up to make money off of this, don't you think?
I'm going to march right in there with that.
The March In rights under the Bay-Dole Act have not been exercised by any federal agency in the 40 years since its enactment.
And just stop and think about this.
What they're saying is: if we give you federal funds to do research and you come up with intellectual property or patents or whatever, and you make profits off of that, then we can come in under certain circumstances and say we're going to take the patent away from you and make it public domain.
The Bay Dole Act, and of course, Bob Dole was Birch Bay and Bob Dole were the ones who put this together.
It ignores the fact that there's no constitutional authority for the federal government to give research grant funding to any of these corporations.
I know, how would we survive if the federal government didn't fund research grants?
Well, let me just encourage you to look at the misery that has been caused by bogus federal research grants throughout our society has been used to manipulate to change our society.
When you look at the money that DARPA and the CIA are giving to these organizations to do anticipatory intelligence surveillance work to experiment with pharmaceuticals and now to experiment with electrical control of our minds and all the rest of the stuff, it has been a dark world that has been opened up with these federal research grants and that needs to have the light shined on it and needs to be shut down.
This unprecedented action is yet another retaliatory effort, said Harvard, targeting Harvard for defending its rights and freedom.
Technologies and patents developed at Harvard are life-saving and industry redefining.
Look, I don't like any of these research grants.
I don't like what Harvard is doing.
I don't like what the federal government is doing.
I don't like what DARPA is doing with the CIA.
But consider the fact that the only reason that they're taking this stuff away is to punish them for allowing free speech and to allow peaceful demonstrations against the policies of a foreign government.
And it gets even more outrageous, doesn't it?
The federal government has accused Harvard of anti-Semitism, the old dog whistle.
I'm so sick and tired of this.
It's like the left, you know, whenever the left, you catch them on something, they won't talk to you about the issues.
They just look at you and say, racist, you're racist.
That's all they'll do.
Just repeat that.
Play the race card.
That's what the GOP is doing now.
You know, if you criticize what Netanyahu is doing, well, you're racist because they're completely owned by the ADL and APAC.
So the federal government has accused Harvard of anti-Semitism and non-disclosure related to foreign funding and race-based discrimination.
Let's stop all this hate speech and allegations of racism.
It's real, and they're making it so unreal that they're going to give cover and have been giving cover to people who are real racist.
They've been crying wolf over racism.
Now the right is doing the same thing the left is doing.
So as reprehensible as Harvard is, this is an abuse of power in order to deny free speech.
The university holds over 5,800 patents or held them as of July last year and had more than 900 active technology licenses with 650 plus industry partners.
Isn't it staggering to think about what a big business Harvard has become?
To think about how much power they wield.
And of course, we've seen evidence of this.
Remember Marty Gottesfeld and how, as he exposed Boston Children's Hospital's medical kidnapping of that child and how they came after him.
And they locked him up like he was some kind of a foreign terrorist.
You know, they have these communication management units where they put our political prisoners.
They put Marty Gottfeld in there because he criticized a Harvard subsidiary for medical kidnapping.
But this is how strong Harvard is.
And of course, I've talked many times in the past to Dr. Shiva Adoure, who also fights against Harvard.
He's up there in that area and he knows the kind of political clout that they have.
That's pretty amazing how well they get $9 billion.
Plus, they've got almost 6,000 patents and 700 industry partners and all the rest of this.
The letter asked Harvard, from the letter from Lutnik, to provide a comprehensive list of all patents it received from federally funded research grants by no later than September the 1st, 5th, rather, right?
Homeland Security said, Harvard's leadership has created an unsafe campus environment, permitting anti-American, pro-terrorist agitators to harass and physically assault individuals, including many Jewish students, and otherwise obstruct its once venerable learning environment.
Harvard hasn't been venerable for a couple of centuries.
You shouldn't have any respect for anything that they do for the last couple hundred years.
But it's not anti-American.
It's anti-Israel that they're trying to shut down.
And you know what?
Even if it was anti-American speech, whether or not you agree with it, whether or not it's true, whether or not it's anti-American, that is not the test.
We have a right to redress your grievances and your criticisms of the American government.
That especially includes foreign governments.
And that's what is so reprehensible about what the Trump administration is doing here.
It said many of these agitators are foreign students.
Yeah, well, guess what?
You're doing this for a foreign government.
You want to talk about foreign students protesting what a foreign government is doing?
And you're defending the foreign government and you're destroying our Bill of Rights at the demands of this foreign government.
That alone calls for it to be criticized.
So, you know, when a foreign government tells you to destroy the Bill of Rights and to punish people for free speech, that's the point at which I've had it with Israel.
You know, it was two things I said the other day.
I was talking to Karen, I said, at the beginning of this, I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt, even if it looked like Netanyahu had done a stand down and invited that attack on October the 7th.
Because, look, it's, you know, everybody argues about who invaded first, because we all understand at a base level that whoever, quote-unquote, preemptively attacks is in the wrong.
But that's, of course, what we do all the time.
It's what Israel does as well.
But it got to the point where, and when something like that begins, there were talks about how there were abuses and all the rest of this from the very beginning.
But, you know, I didn't want to get involved in it because of the fog of war.
People are making all kinds of claims.
If you're not there, and even if you are there, it's difficult to determine what the truth is in the midst of a firefight and things like that.
So it stayed away from it.
However, when they came in and started attacking people for free speech, that was it.
And then it got to another level when Trump came in and openly talked about the purpose of a genocide so that he could open up, open up, you know, have this for development and all the rest of this stuff.
That's exactly what people were talking about from the very beginning.
You know, the term genocide was coined by a Jewish historian talking about Armenia and Azerbaijan.
And, well, actually, at the time, it was the Turks who were trying to kill all the Armenian Christians.
He said, this is a genocide.
They want to kill everybody or get them off of land so they can have that land.
Well, that's precisely what's going on in Gaza.
Trump made that very clear.
Netanyahu has made that very clear.
And regardless of Whether or not the initiation of the war was justified as part of a just war to target civilians and to sustain it for years is what makes it unjustified.
As I've said many times, it's like when somebody breaks into your house, you are entitled to defend yourself and you can shoot to kill if they're coming at you.
But if they grab your TV and they're running away from you and on the front lawn and they're not a threat to you, you can't shoot them in the back.
That's the principle by which we say you can't target civilians.
But that's what they've been doing.
The university argued that the funding freeze was a blatant violation of the due process clause, the First Amendment, and the Administrative Procedure Act.
Well, they don't really have a leg to stand on.
They're not entitled to that money.
I mean, the funding freeze is only part of it.
They froze it for the wrong reason.
But Harvard doesn't have a legitimate case in the Constitution to get a single penny from American taxpayers.
They said it's the latest act by government in clear retaliation for Harvard exercising its First Amendment rights to reject the government's demands to control Harvard's governance, curriculum, and ideology.
Well, that's true.
And I despise Harvard's ideology.
And that's one of the reasons why they shouldn't get a penny of federal money, of taxpayer money.
We're going to take a quick break, folks, and we will be right.
Yes.
I'm just saying if this is a violation of their First Amendment rights, is it a violation of mine since I've never gotten any money, probably?
That's right.
Yeah, under the due process clause, where's my money?
I need $9 billion.
And under the Administrative Procedure Act, you know, it's like I'm still waiting for my first check from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, and it looks like they're going to go out of business before they write me one.
I've always said that if people want a particular broadcast or program, they can support it.
And we do appreciate the people who support us here.
And thank you so much.
It's voluntary.
We don't put it behind a paywall, and we don't run marathon promotions like PBS does.
What is happening with this martial law?
And it's not the first time, of course, that we've seen the martial law.
That's why I opposed Trump.
You know, that plus the cold-blooded murder of people around the world.
I think he is an international war criminal for warp speed.
But that is part of the deep state.
They laid the foundation for that was laid just prior to 9-11.
And right afterwards, they put out the model legislation after the anthrax attack that they also did.
And they practiced, rehearsed the germ games for 20 years until they could get somebody like Trump in so they could actually pull the trigger on it.
That's how deep the deep state is.
These people keep thinking that he's their savior, just like he's going to round up the pedophile rings when he was part of one of the most notorious pedophile rings with Jeffrey Epstein that ever existed.
Both of them creatures of the intelligence agencies.
Well, again, I wanted to come on because this is very important.
We're trying to get the studio together here so that we can rearrange everything so that I can do it with Travis because it's difficult for me to do three hours of the broadcast as of yet.
And I enjoy having a banter back and forth anyway with both of my sons here.
We do that at home.
I thought you guys might like it as well.
I always enjoy that better than just monologuing.
But that's why I'm not back yet.
But I thought, well, Travis is feeling so bad.
I'm going to take this over after he did the rebroadcast of the interview.
Dustin Helm, thank you very much for the tip.
I appreciate that.
And Nights of the Storm, thank you.
I said, please don't get too worked up, David.
It's great to see you live again.
Prayers for the family.
Well, thank you.
Thank you so much for the prayers.
I have to say, Karen was feeling very, very poorly as well.
I told you she broke her ankle back in January.
And the doctors, because of the insurance companies, they don't want to look except at one thing at one time.
So we get approval to look at your ankle.
My knee is killing me.
We've only got approval for your ankle.
So they let the knee get worse and worse and after I came home and she's running around waiting on me hand and foot her and knee I guess not just foot her knee got really bad and swelled up she finally got them take a look at it and do some x-rays and then eventually do and a scan I want to say an MRA scan but it wasn't mRNA what is it the anyway the They did a scan.
They could see that it was torn cartilage there.
So I appreciate the prayers and we appreciate God has really blessed her and she's feeling much better now as well.
We were a real sorry sight going to the doctors between the two of us.
We were wheelchairs and canes and staggering into the place.
It was pretty amazing.
But we're much better now.
And we thank you for praying because it's not the medical community that's helping us.
The healing comes from God.
And that's true of our country as well.
What if God isn't sending a savior through the ballot box?
This is an op-ed piece from Christian Post, Michael Wiki.
He said, it's a strange thing to watch so many believers wait with bated breath for the next election as if the soul of the nation and even the future of the church hinges on who sits in the White House.
Many well-meaning Christians are hoping that a certain political leader, even one with a troubled moral track record, who could he be talking about here?
I think he'd be talking about any of them, left or right, Republican or Democrat, that they might bring America back to God.
Yeah, we could come back to God with the Trump family values.
This is the guy who first wanted to be the first one to include men in beauty contests.
Yeah, right.
But this is exactly how I feel.
I hate to see people put their hope and their faith in politics or in a particular person or in their job or their career or whatever.
That is not where our hope lies.
We have to ask an uncomfortable question.
What if God isn't sending a savior through the ballot box?
What if he's sending discipline instead?
And he says, God often used pagan kings not to lead revivals, but to wake his people up through judgment.
Think about Nebuchadnezzar who destroyed Jerusalem, carried Judah into exile, or Assyria, the empire that crushed the northern kingdom of Israel.
God even called Assyria the rod of my anger in Isaiah.
These rulers were not godly men.
They were instruments in God's hand used to discipline a people who had forgotten him.
You have all these people saying Trump is like Cyrus who helped Israel.
Maybe he's more like Nebuchadnezzar.
Who knows?
Sometimes God sends prophets, but other times he sends kings with iron fists.
And the only Christian nation that we have today is the church.
That's the way God refers to the church.
He refers to it as a nation, as a holy people, as a chosen people.
But we want to project that onto a nation that doesn't care about God whatsoever.
There is no political salvation of countries that are there.
It's about individuals.
And the salvation that Jesus Christ offers is there for anybody, regardless of what your ethnic background is.
But there is no salvation outside of that.
That's one of the things that bothers me so much about American Christians is how obsessed they are with politics, American and Israeli politics, how obsessed they are with knowing the future.
Just go get a crystal ball or hire the witch of Endor or something.
They're so obsessed with all that stuff and they miss what the New Testament, what the Bible is really about, Old and New Testament, is about the Lord Jesus Christ.
And yet that's not what people are interested in, is it?
Get to the good part.
Skip over all this stuff about Jesus.
Let's get to what happens at the end of the world.
That's what people have itching ears.
And they've got teachers who are teaching him.
And as a result of that teaching, they're cheering the mass murder of civilians and children and the slow starvation of these people.
That's what they're cheering.
That's the evil fruit from these false teachers that's out there.
Anyway, Jesus said, my kingdom is not of this world, right?
Throughout the New Testament, they made it clear that God was creating a holy nation, a people of his own possession, and those are the believers in Christ.
A true Christian nation is spiritual, not geographical, not bound by borders, by flags, by constitutions.
It's made up of people redeemed by the blood of Christ from every tribe, tongue, and nation.
God doesn't need a superpower to fulfill his purposes.
He is the superpower.
He needs a faithful people.
History and scripture remind us that popular spiritual leadership is not always faithful leadership.
In Jeremiah's day, the prophets assured everyone that peace was coming.
Jeremiah alone warned of judgment.
He wound up in the bottom of a well.
That's the equivalent, I guess, of getting kicked off of all the social media platforms and YouTube today.
You know, it sent you to the bottom of the well, of course, physically a lot more uncomfortable.
I don't feel anything from being kicked off of these other platforms.
400 prophets.
I'm going to get him off of the platform right beside the well.
Yeah, they deplatformed him and he went straight to the bottom of the well.
400 prophets told King Ahab to go into battle.
Only Micai dared to speak God's truth, and he was thrown into prison for telling the truth.
Jesus said, beware when all men speak well of you.
So did they of the false teachers.
No president, he writes, no matter how strong or sympathetic to Christian values, can bring a nation back to God.
Do you really think that Trump or Biden or anybody else, such as Lala Harris, is sympathetic to Christian values?
I think they are raising their fist to God pretty much every time they speak based on their pride and what they're doing.
Revival doesn't come through policies or speeches.
It comes through the power of the Holy Spirit working in the hearts of God's people.
No party, no political movement, no president is going to save us folks.
Sometimes, maybe even now, God uses hardship, decline, and even ungodly leadership to wake us up, not because he's cruel, but because he's a loving father who disciplines those he loves.
Could it be that God has allowed ungodly leaders not to restore America, but to humble his church?
Could it be that we are confused culturally?
We've confused cultural Christianity with true discipleship, and God is pulling down our idols.
I don't pretend to know what God is doing, but I know this.
Revival does not start in Washington.
It starts on your knees.
Let's stop looking for salvation in the wrong places.
Look, if you want reform, start with yourself.
Start with your family.
And one of the best things that you could do is to take control of your children.
Look, it has been an obsession with this beast in Washington to grab the minds and the souls of our children from an early age.
And everybody knows this.
God has talked about this.
Satan has talked about it.
Plato's talked about it.
Figures throughout history have talked about it.
Get the children when they're young in their mind for life.
That's why God tells us to raise our children to fear and follow him.
And a good example of what you can accomplish.
I want to show you something that is truly countercultural.
And this is some homeschool teens that saved a restaurant for a couple.
They had, it's a mom-and-pop business, and they had a restaurant.
And they began hiring homeschool kids as young as 14 because they knew they were hard workers.
And she essentially became family to them.
She supported their extracurricular activities and things like that.
And then one day, she dropped to the ground with a grand mall seizure.
And these kids took over.
They trained other homeschoolers and they ran the business while her husband was even gone at her bedside in the hospital.
Here's a story about that was done by the local news.
Wisconsin.
There's a Urban All of the Night.
How can I help you?
With a reputation.
My name is Lily Benzer, and I'm 18 years old.
Teenagers.
My name is Tori and I'm 17.
Laney, and I'm 16 years old.
Lots of them.
Right now we're up to 30.
Chad trainers.
So yeah, 30 teenagers.
And wife Carol built their business with teen employees.
I'm Acacia and I'm 17.
14 to 18, really.
Joe and 15 years old.
They sold information.
They want to learn.
They want to do well.
And then the teens who helped build their business saved their business.
In this room on September 28th, she collapsed on the floor and had a grandma seizure.
Carol would spend the next eight months in the hospital, mostly in Minneapolis, and mostly in a coma with Chad bedside.
Not once.
I didn't ask one teenager to do anything extra.
He didn't have to.
They just did it.
This is the pantry.
For eight months, their teens essentially ran their place.
I don't really think about things very much.
I just kind of go.
Acacia started arriving at 5:30 to Open.
She's a great leader.
Joe and the other homeschoolers kept things going during the day.
And that one doesn't get anything on the top.
And everyone took on new roles.
Now do a little drizzle.
They trained each other.
Came up with the specials.
And kept Carol's plants alive.
Me and Tori, mainly, we would go shopping for Chad.
I have pictures of like my huge carts of stuff and like my car would be full of stuff.
And then I like look in here and see if anything needs to get paid or anything.
Jobs they lifted off the shoulders of Carol and Chad.
It's a family here.
Carol and Chad's family.
Carol always offered help with like school homework and just like life in general.
Carol and Chad sponsored their pageants and never missed their school sports and performances.
It's almost unfair for it not to be reciprocated back to them.
I mean we didn't know at the time my wife was dying and they just thought they were helping out because we were she needed help.
You know they needed things covered until she came back.
Carol did not come back in May.
She died at 58.
She was just a really amazing person.
Lily and all the other teenagers attended Carol's funeral.
Then the teens got back to work still pausing occasionally so they can lean on each other.
I knew we would all not do good today.
We're not even cutting onions yet.
I know.
Without them, the restaurant would not exist.
Thank you.
These kids became adults and ran our business and took care of me.
Urban olive and vine can be found in the heart of Hudson.
Can you leave a cup for me?
Run by the teens at the heart of Urban Olive and Vine.
I love them like they're my own kids.
Boyd.
Carol Evan New.
Hi.
Hudson.
I'm Jewel.
I'll be your server.
yeah you know uh It's a common thing for homeschoolers and families to understand the difference it makes when you're involved in your child's life.
There was John Taylor Gatto, who was twice Teacher of the Year in New York State.
And that's the kind of thing that he would do.
He would take his kids out.
He was a big influence in the founding of the homeschooling movement in the 80s.
And what he did was he would take his kids out of the classroom and say, let's get into the real world.
Let's do some things.
And you have the opportunity to do that with homeschooling.
We have a government institution called Public Schools.
I call them government schools.
That institution is there to do everything exactly the opposite of what young people need in terms of training to take on jobs and other things like that.
It used to be before we had government schools.
You had people like John Paul Jones that wind up in charge as the captain of a ship by the time they were 17 or 18.
I forget the exact ages when he took over that.
But they would give responsibility to kids who wanted it and who were capable of it.
They would not pigeonhole people and set them on the shelf until they age to a certain position.
And that really is the hope of our country.
If you want revival, have revival with yourself.
Have revival in your connection to God and have a revival with your connection to your family.
Take responsibility for that.
Train your kids.
When you look at what is happening around the world, it truly is amazing the fact that Christians, as we have it here, so easy, we still have Christians throughout the world that are being killed by different political groups, whether it's India, whether it's Africa, whether it's other Islamic countries as well.
There's a silent genocide as African ISIS is beheading Christians, while the U.S. funds Christian destruction elsewhere.
They said it's like 29-11s or 50 October the 7ths.
That's approximately how many Christians have been murdered by Islamic jihadists in Africa.
This is the new American covering it.
You don't see these kinds of stories covered by American media.
They don't care.
The silent genocide, as one ex-U.S.
diplomat puts it, is still ongoing too.
And it's a genocide.
Why?
Because they want to get the Christians out of the area, just as they did in Armenia.
They want the Christians out so they can take it over.
Same thing is happening in Israel with Gaza.
ISIS effort to establish a new caliphate there.
Eurasian Christian communities are being destroyed elsewhere with Israeli arms funded by the United States.
So, as he points out here, I think this is an interesting point, unbeknownst to most Christians, Christianity was the dominant religion in North Africa by the 400s AD.
As a matter of fact, you look at Augustine was in North Africa.
Christianity was dominant in North Africa.
And then the Muslims came in 622.
Muslim armies swept across North Africa, and the rest is history.
So North Africa has been Islamic since the 600s after the Muslims conquered it.
But Sub-Saharan Africa was basically open to Christianity, even though their religion was a pagan religion of animism and things like that.
But now ISIS terrorists are trying to move south into sub-Saharan Africa.
They're beheading Christians, burning churches and homes in southern and central Africa.
The attacks on Christians are increasing in the region.
Four attacks on Christian villages in Mozambique with churches burned, burned down, and corpses of what the jihadists call infidels left strewn on the ground.
But I wanted to focus on what is happening in Eurasia, northern Eurasia.
We mentioned that that's again in Azerbaijan that has been coming after Armenia.
And Israel is arming Azerbaijan as they commit genocide against Christians in Armenia.
How about that?
It is illegal for America to arm them, but America can give the money and the weapons to Israel, and then Israel can sell it to the Muslims to commit genocide against Christians in Armenia.
That's the way the system works.
That's what they're partnering together for there.
Political commentator Anna Kasparian asserted that Israel armed Azerbaijan to erase the Armenian people from Karabakh.
She referenced the decades-long conflict over Nagorno-Karabakh, Azerbaijan's decisive victory in 2023.
The world saw scenes of mass exodus as Armenian Christians chose to burn down their homes rather than surrender them.
Ancient church buildings desecrated and over 100,000 people fleeing under military pressure.
Freedom House confirmed this is an ethnic cleansing enabled by Israeli-supplied drones and surveillance Tech.
Here's where American policy becomes complicit.
America sends Israel $3.8 billion annually in military aid and spent $18 billion on aid to Israel the year following October 2023.
Azerbaijan is such a bad actor that U.S. law actually prohibits us from selling any arms to it.
Israel, however, doesn't have any constraints.
Evidently, no ethics either.
Britain, which once spread Christianity to the very corners of the earth, police are now recently threatened to arrest a pastor after he was attacked by a Muslim mob.
Hasin, he expounded on the differences between Christianity and Islam while holding a Quran.
And I got to say, I've said this before.
We used to always love to go to a speaker's corner when we were in London.
And it used to be the police would protect free speech because it was always about politics.
But now they come after the Christians.
Real quickly, I got behind here.
Dustin Helm, thank you very much.
Dougalug and DG8, thank you so much for supporting us.
I appreciate that.
And DG8 says, prayers work, God is good.
Yes, they do.
And High Boost says, hey, David, how come there's no emergency for the national debt?
And Congress is no longer allowed to spend a dime until a balanced debt budget passed.
Yes, absolutely true.
Yeah, that is not an emergency for them.
It's going to be an emergency in a couple of years, though they keep kicking this can down the road.
It is building momentum and building in size, and it is going to be a big emergency.
It's like those things, you know, how does it happen?
Gradually, then suddenly.
I would say that's the same way as I was thinking after the strokes.
How does one get old?
I think gradually then suddenly.
This story of the debt and the ballooning debt is getting very old, and it is going to come crashing down on our heads.
Well, thank you.
That's all the time that we have today.
Thank you so much for joining us.
Have a good day.
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.
Please share the information and links you'll find at thedavidnight show.com.
Thank you for listening.
Thank you for sharing.
If you can't support us financially, please keep us in your prayers.
