	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 Wednesday, the 13th of July, year of our Lord 2025.
	With the United States working toward its own version of the UK's Orwellian digital ID verification law.
	But don't worry, it's for the kids.
	Then we have former authoritarians being challenged as NYC teachers who refuse the jab are petitioning the Supreme Court for their jobs back.
	And then the drug war.
	What is it good for?
	Absolutely nothing.
	More important than all that, it's my wife's birthday.
	Stay with us, folks.
	Stay with us.
	Stay with us.
	Good morning, everyone, and welcome to the show.
	Hope you're all having a wonderful day so far.
	Knights of the Storm says, happy birthday to your wife, Travis.
	Well, thank you very much, Jason.
	Will to Bach says, happy birthday, Mrs. Knight.
	Yes, happy birthday to her.
	We're hopefully going to be able to go out and have a nice birthday lunch today.
	So thank you all very much.
	As I said, the U.S. is working its way towards its own Orwellian digital ID law.
	This time, it goes by the acronym COSA, K-O-S-A.
	We introduced child safety, quote-unquote, bill raises alarms over internet surveillance, digital ID, and free speech risks.
	This is just the American version of the UK law.
	It's a Trojan horse to save the kids.
	That's what they always say as they continue to groom them in schools.
	Isn't it wonderful?
	The nanny state always comes for the children first.
	If you're tired of censorship and surveillance, well, you're going to hate this.
	Senators, this is Marcia Blackburn, by the way, who's likely going to be the governor of Tennessee.
	I once again put forward the Kids Online Safety Act.
	COSA, reviving a bill that, if enacted, would radically reshape how Americans experience the internet.
	Promoted as a measure to protect children, this latest version now carries the backing of Apple, a tech giant that has publicly endorsed the legislation as a meaningful step toward improving online safety.
	Yes.
	Apple, known friend of the little guy.
	They're definitely not out for their own self-interest.
	But behind the...
	that you have to have Apple smartphones in China or their own proprietary stuff.
	Like, a lot of brands of American or Western Android phones aren't permitted there.
	Like, they are definitely...
	Every time they get a chance.
	Behind the bipartisan sales pitch and industry support lies a framework that risks expanding government control over online content and eroding user privacy through mandated age verification and surveillance infrastructure.
	COSA is often described as a child protection bill requiring platforms to limit exposure to content that could contribute to mental health issues such as depression or disordered eating.
	Now the question is could they make it any more vague and broad?
	Such as depression, disordered eating.
	What couldn't potentially fall under that?
	Just about anything could cause depression, allegedly possibly, right?
	Sorry, you're going to have to sign in to look at this video because you don't want to see what America used to be.
	No, you can't watch this old video of 1950s America because look at how nice it was.
	There's people eating in it.
	It might cause disordered eating for you.
	This has been rated 18 or older due to disordered eating content.
	Sorry, you can't watch this review of this restaurant.
	It might make you depressed or it might give you disordered eating or both.
	What is less emphasized by its sponsors is how the bill empowers the Federal Trade Commissions to investigate and sue platforms over speech that's deemed harmful to minors.
	Again, incredibly vague wording might be deemed harmful.
	What does that mean?
	What falls under that?
	Could be just about anything.
	The lawmakers insist the bill does not authorize the censorship of content.
	It effectively places government pressure on websites to sanitize what users see or face liability.
	And of course, the scrubbing and sanitization of the platforms has already been well underway.
	I'm sure all of you have experienced getting some kind of ban if you're still on social media anyway.
	Whether it's for a limited amount of time or they just kick you off totally.
	Social media platforms are continually making it more and more difficult to communicate or say anything at all.
	Oops, sorry, we think you were kind of rude there.
	So how about you have a 30-day ban?
	And of course, we've got to prevent minors from seeing harmful content that might depress them, such as anything related to illegal immigration, for instance.
	Don't want you having to see how your country has fallen.
	Yeah, it's going to go the exact same way that the British thing is going.
	Sorry, don't want you to see this headline about some illegal alien that raped a few people.
	Can't have you seeing that.
	The lawmakers insist the bill does not authorize the censorship of content.
	It effectively places government pressure on websites to sanitize what users see.
	Such chilling effects rarely need explicit censorship orders to shape outcomes.
	The current version is a directive that could serve as the foundation for mandatory age verification across the internet.
	Again, this is coming down the pipeline.
	This is what they want.
	They want you tied to everything you have ever posted.
	Everything you might say.
	They want this.
	Every website is going to have your ID on file.
	That means every single website is a potential hack target for your identity.
	You want to post on Twitter?
	You're going to have to put in your ID.
	And this is really how they're going to get digital ID passed.
	They're going to get something like this in.
	And then people are going to have to put their driver's license or whatever form of identification they're using into every single website.
	And it's going to become a real hassle.
	It's going to become a nightmare having to do it over and over again.
	Eventually, they'll clamor for a digital ID.
	This is so annoying.
	Come on, can't you just give me some digital piece of paper that I can just upload directly?
	I don't want to have to deal with uploading my actual ID.
	The picture keeps saying it's not right.
	It doesn't work.
	I have to take like 10 different pictures each time I want to do this.
	The bill instructs the Secretary of Commerce, along with the FTC and FCC, to study and propose systems capable of verifying a user's age at the device or operating system level.
	This lays the groundwork for a digital ID regime that links individuals' real-world identities to their online activity by stripping away anonymity.
	The measure would transform the nature of internet participation, tying everything a person reads, shares, or says to a verifiable identity.
	And of course, Blackburn, soon to be most likely Tennessee governor, also wants digital money.
	She sponsored COSA.
	And let's not forget that they'll be tying all that into your Palantir database to have the all-knowing thing to see everything you've ever looked at or said online, everything you've ever purchased, everything you've ever done.
	It will literally know everything about you.
	Everything that has even partially touched the digital space will be cataloged and linked back to you.
	Blackburn, as I was saying, not just sponsored COSA, co-sponsored COSA, but also Genius Act as well.
	This woman wants to do away with your privacy.
	The implications for privacy are significant age verification at the system level requires collecting and storing more personal data, potentially exposing users to greater surveillance and risk.
	Once identity becomes a prerequisite for access, the door opens to deeper tracking, profiling, and data harvesting.
	It also sets a dangerous precedent.
	This is.
	We are experiencing some music in the background.
	We have.
	But DJ Yona says it's for the kids.
	That's right.
	That's what it's always about.
	We're doing this to protect the kids.
	Yeah, well, ignore the drag queens in the library, though.
	Nights of the Storm.
	So we have a real ID framework for CBDC and now digital ID creeping in.
	They thought we were paranoid.
	That's right.
	You're always a paranoid conspiracy theorist right up until it's happening.
	And then, not only is it happening, but it's good that it's happening.
	You need to get on board.
	Everyone's always known about this.
	What are you talking about?
	Yeah.
	This has always been a good thing.
	Everyone is on board, and you need to get over it.
	KWD68 says, don't let the little ones see the videos of Gaza.
	That's right.
	Can't have them seeing that.
	Though COSA sponsors, again, that's Marcia Blackburn, have made edits to assuage concern removing state attorneys general from enforcement authority and inserting language that purports to protect free speech, those changes do not neutralize the structural pressures the bill creates.
	And while Apple's endorsement adds corporate polish to the proposal, it also highlights a growing divide between companies seeking to maintain control over closed ecosystems and users who value an open private internet.
	Apple does not value that at all.
	Apple is one of the most liberal companies on the planet, one of the most leftist companies on the planet.
	You can see it in all their advertising.
	They would love nothing more than to be able to catalog all your data and then ship it off to the government.
	Oh, you said something naughty on Twitter.
	Apple is going to report you.
	Actually, more likely be like, you tried to say something naughty on Twitter.
	We blocked it and sent it directly to Palantir.
	Now your social credit score is in the tank, or maybe we just cut off your bank account.
	Big tech platforms have shown time and time again they will always prioritize their bottom line over the safety of our children.
	Senator Blackburn stated in support of the legislation: the irony is that COSA, while appearing to reign in Silicon Valley, may end up entrenching its power by pushing for universal identity verification and more extensive user data collection.
	And of course, Blackburn's probably going to be rewarded for this.
	She's probably going to be the new Tennessee governor.
	But that's what you get for pushing digital ID.
	As I said before, the only thing scarier than we're from the government we're here to help is we're from the government and we're here to help your children.
	It's all about the kids.
	Previous failures in the House where Republicans' leadership balked at its implications for speech comes after previous failures in the House.
	House Speaker Mike Johnson voiced skepticism saying he loves the principle, but the details of that are very problematic.
	His hesitation reflects the deeper unease that many continue to share that child safety is being used to justify systems of control that are incompatible with a free and open internet.
	It's incredible that this woman is somehow worse on surveillance and personal freedom than Mike Johnson.
	When you're worse than Mike Johnson, you have a problem.
	Whether COSA can clear the legislative hurdles this time remains uncertain, but if it does, it won't just change how tech companies serve content to minors.
	It could permanently shift the architecture of the internet toward identification, monitoring, and top-down content moderation.
	Once online privacy is further eroded, it's not easily restored.
	These companies do not like giving you back anything.
	They don't like handing it back over.
	Nor does the government.
	Once they've taken some of your freedom, they're not going to pass it back.
	U.S. plan to copy UK's disastrous online digital ID verification is winning friends in the Senate.
	What's old as a safety net for kids could become the blueprint for an ID-locked surveillance-ready internet?
	This is by Dan Fried.
	In Britain, that measure forces online platforms to implement digital ID age checks before granting access to content deemed harmful.
	A policy that has caused intense resentment over privacy violations, the erosion of anonymity, and government overreach in the realm of free speech.
	Of course, we've already seen what it's been used for in the UK.
	I've already seen them banning people from looking at videos of migrants or protests until they provide their ID.
	Sorry, you can't see that.
	This would be troublesome for a child.
	Now, U.S. lawmakers are considering a similar framework with more senators from both parties throwing their support behind the bill in recent weeks.
	Of course, this is a list here I have of people that are sponsoring or supporting it.
	Senator Marcia Blackburn at the top, of course.
	Ben Ray Lujan, Shelley Moore, Tammy Baldwin, Bill Cassidy, Amy Klobuchar, Joni Ernst, Gary C. Peters, Steve Daines, John W. Hickenlooper, Marco Rubio, good old Marco Rubio, Mark R. Warner, Dan Sullivan, Christopher A. Coons.
	And it is still utterly absurd.
	Again, we've got to do this for the kids.
	This is to protect the kids.
	It's not at all about getting all your data, siphoning it off, chilling speech, making it so we can track you down and punish you for things you say.
	No, not at all.
	It's for the kids.
	We're still going to groom them in schools, though.
	We're still going to push sexual content on them in the schools.
	If you try, if you try to protest that, perhaps maybe a Democrat will list you as a domestic terrorist of sorts.
	The only adult material pushed at children are the adult materials pushed by the school system.
	Yeah.
	I'm sure you'll be allowed to view heinous LGBT content.
	That won't be a problem.
	You won't need to verify your age for that.
	No, not at all.
	She's got some opponents for governor.
	Marcia Blackburn does, but there's not many.
	You've got Republican primary candidates, rep John Rose, Cito Pallegra, which it's basically a bunch of other lefties from Memphis after that.
	Jerry Green is from Memphis, a Democrat, Memphis City Council member.
	Carnita Atwater from Memphis, a community advocate, president and CEO of the African American International Museum Foundation, so you can only imagine what type of insanity Carnita would get up to.
	Adam Ditch Kurtz Memphis, a pedal steel guitarist running with the slogan by the people, for the people, I'm a people.
	Now that's a pretty good slogan.
	That's at least entertaining.
	I wouldn't vote for the guy, but it's funny.
	Tim Cyr Gallatin, also known as Tennessee Tim.
	He moved to Tennessee in 2017.
	That's right.
	He's Tennessee Tim after having lived here for eight years.
	It's truly amazing.
	This is how politicians operate.
	Yes, I'm deeply concerned.
	I have a deep love of this state that I moved to seven weeks ago to run for office.
	There's a skit from this group called The Whitest Kids You Know that talks about that.
	It's probably one of their funniest bits.
	Moved to Tennessee in 2017 and previously ran an unsuccessful campaign for the Illinois House of Representatives in 2010.
	So we've got Illinois Democrats and three Memphis Democrats as her main challengers.
	So Tennessee is not looking good for the governor race.
	And of course, sadly, the Knox County Mayor, Glenn Jacobs, is not running.
	He's always been pretty solid on things.
	And he's someone that would do a good job in that role, I feel.
	But sadly, he is not running, so it looks like it's going to be Marcia Blackburn.
	Marsha, Marsha, Marsha.
	KWD 68, don't worry, all this safety we are blessed with will be private.
	And not the government.
	Tunnel Lord 1337.
	Their concern about the kids is so fake.
	They have actively been turning each generation of youth into degenerates.
	They don't care about the kids at all.
	Yeah, it's obviously fake to anyone with half a brain left.
	Sadly, the general leftist does not.
	If you're a liberal, you will co-sign basically anything.
	Anything that's vaguely LGBT is sacrosanct to liberals.
	It is something that you must indulge, you must give into.
	And there are very, very few liberals at all that will balk at it, that will say, no, I don't think so.
	I don't think we should be teaching our kids this kind of sexual garbage.
	I know, you know, don't want to play too much partisan politics.
	Don't want to, you know, both sides have their issues.
	Republicans are MAGA morons that have been fooled over and over again.
	But they are at least mostly right about the kids and how to protect them.
	Not in this case, but at least from the grooming of the LGBTQ government wants to turn your kids into degenerates.
	It's this whole MacGuffin thing.
	It's, oh, well, yeah, we want to implement tracking and ID on everything you do online, but don't worry.
	This is for the kids.
	What?
	You don't want to protect the children?
	What's wrong with you?
	And yeah, sure, that's the same thing that we've wanted to do for totally unrelated stuff.
	And yeah, sure, we aren't doing anything else related to the children.
	But don't worry, this is for the children.
	This is to protect them.
	Yeah, just it's funny how it always ends up being something that they've been desperately wanting to do anyway.
	Oh no, we promise this is for the kids.
	Sure, as Lance pointed out, this is something we have had on the back burner.
	We haven't been able to get through.
	But maybe if we say it's for the kids, you guys will let us do it.
	We have an article here from Ron Paul.
	It says news flash governments lie.
	Ron Paul's right.
	In case any of you weren't aware, though, I'm sure everyone in this audience, if the government said the sky was blue, you'd have to go out and check for yourself.
	Bureau of Labor Statistics head, Dr. Erica McEntarfer, is one of the latest persons President Trump has told, you're fired.
	President Trump said this month that he fired Dr. McEntarfer because the president believed she manipulated jobs data.
	Manipulations, he stated, include the updated May and June BLS number showing the US economy created 258 fewer, 258,000 fewer jobs than originally reported, as well as the weaker than expected July jobs report.
	Of course, this is what they always do.
	This is continually how they run the system, as my dad has pointed out for years.
	They come in, they give you a number that says, Look, we actually gained this many jobs.
	We did this.
	The economy's doing great.
	Then, once the eyes are off them and things have settled down, they actually put out a revised number and they go, Oh, actually, we miscounted, we miscalculated.
	It turns out things aren't so good.
	And then they repeat the cycle next time it comes around.
	And so it repeats and it repeats.
	Following Dr. McGatarfer's firing, many commenters worried that President Trump's actions would create the perception that government unemployment and inflation data is manipulated to produce the numbers desired by the president.
	No, they wouldn't do such a say it ain't so.
	A loss of confidence in government statistics could impact demand for U.S. treasuries.
	This is because the value of treasuries is adjusted based on the BLS-issued consumer price index.
	If investors don't trust the CPI figures, they can demand higher returns, increasing government's interest payments.
	Yeah.
	Don't trust the government.
	I would be demanding higher returns immediately.
	Like, no, no, no, as high as you can.
	President Trump is correct that BLS manipulates statistics related to the economy, but it has been doing so since long before Donald Trump moved into the White House.
	For example, starting in 1994, the BLS stopped including discouraged workers who have stopped looking for work in the official unemployment figures.
	Of course, this is something that I've heard people mention all my life.
	They talk about, oh, look, the jobs are doing great.
	And of course, they're not.
	Not counting the people that have been unable to get a job for so long that they have just given up is such a dishonest tactic.
	Oh, the jobs market is fine, except for the fact that we have a massive number of people that have been out of work for so long, they have simply stopped trying.
	They've accepted that it's over, that they cannot get a job.
	The BLS also includes those working part-time as employed, even if the only reason they are working part-time is they cannot find full-time work.
	According to John Williams, publisher of the website ShadowStats, including discouraged and part-time workers who want full-time work in the unemployment figures increases the unemployment rate by almost 20%.
	20%.
	Government also understates the effect of inflation.
	One way it does this is by using chained CPI.
	Chained CPI means that even if price inflation has made steak unaffordable for most Americans, the government does not consider their standard of living lowered if they can buy a quote-unquote substitute such as hamburger.
	This ignores the fact that if consumers viewed hamburger and steak as equivalent, then they would likely have chosen cheaper hamburger before Federal Reserve caused price inflation made steak unaffordable, leaving them no choice but to purchase hamburger.
	These people view steak and hamburger as equivalent substitutions.
	I love myself a good hamburger.
	However, it is not the same as a steak.
	It is not the same as it at all.
	It's truly amazing how dishonest the government is in every factor.
	I wonder how these people would feel if, you know, any time they ordered a steak, their waiter just brought out a hamburger and said, well, it's an equivalent substitute.
	It's the exact same thing, really.
	You can't be mad at me.
	According to John Williams' shadow stats, using a more accurate definition of inflation would increase the inflation rate to as much as 12% 12%.
	Not 3% or whatever it might be at this moment.
	Manipulating the unemployment and inflation rates allows the government to gaslight the people into believing that the economy is strong and any signs of weakness.
	Manipulating the inflation figures to understand the true amount of inflation also lowers the cost of living.
	Increases the government must provide for veterans, beneficiaries of Social Security and others.
	And of course, Donald Trump doesn't want these numbers.
	He doesn't want to have this be under his watch.
	Not that other presidents don't do the exact same thing.
	But someone as egotistical as Trump, someone that's so desperate to have his legacy be remembered fondly, is not going to have this on his watch.
	No, we're not going to show you the real inflation.
	We're not going to show you the real jobs numbers.
	Which is something if he was actually dedicated to fixing these issues, he probably would do.
	Say, look, this is what the economy actually is.
	They've been lying to you for years.
	These are the inflation numbers.
	The metrics have been cooked and skewed.
	We're going to fix it.
	We're going to work towards it.
	How can you work towards fixing a problem if you don't admit the problem exists?
	Virtue hope.
	Hope you're feeling better, Travis.
	Dad mentioned that you were feeling ill yesterday.
	Yes, I am feeling better.
	I've been pretty nauseous for a couple days, but I am a lot better now.
	Nausea takes me out.
	I'm not much of a baby about most things, but if I get a little nauseous, it's over.
	Mebru 2029, politicians have great concern for children.
	Children are the greatest weapon used to control adults.
	That's right.
	If you get the children, then, well, for one, you get to brainwash them and you have them for life.
	But as a general rule, everyone has an innate sense of desire to protect children.
	You know that they are precious and special, and that they are the future, and as such, they should be protected, that you should be willing to sacrifice for them.
	And the government plays on that remarkably effectively.
	I mean, the nanny state makes the most sense when it's for children.
	They are the ones who need a nanny.
	It's just that the government should not be taking that role.
	Just about anyone besides the government is a better option.
	Now, of course, the parents are the best, best option, but the government is the worst of all options.
	The worst possible outcome is to turn your children over to the government.
	Harry Truman, founding father of the National Security State.
	This is from the Mises Institute.
	Hell is truth seen too late, says Thomas Hobbes.
	Resolve to serve no more, and you are at once freed.
	Etienne de la Bautier.
	In politics, corruption begins with the corrupted.
	We see turbitude throughout society's power structure, but it's only there because we accepted a devil's bargain.
	It took shape long before the current crop of office holders ran for political office.
	It was their goal.
	Political office that people accepted as necessary and right.
	Without politicians in office running a government, we would be in anarchy, and everyone understood anarchy meant people would beat each other's throats.
	And life would be solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short.
	See, they need to talk to guard about anarchy.
	Political office is a position of power over others.
	It's not found in nature, but then either our houses, jet planes, or Starbucks.
	How did this oddball arrangement, political office, get started?
	And why is it considered so important?
	National Security Freedom's Graveyard.
	Messing in the affairs of others has been policy since President Truman institutionalized the National Security State with the National Security Act of 1947, his recognition of the State of Israel 1948 and Policy Report NSC 68 of 1950, calling for a massive buildup of the U.S. military and its weaponry.
	The red threat served as the excuse for an egregious departure from the government's founding principle of non-intervention.
	Its effects have been and will continue to be totally ruinous.
	We are always involved everywhere.
	We're always in someone's business.
	Very frequently in our own citizens' business, where it doesn't need to be, but almost always abroad.
	And of course, national security is the reason they give for always anything they want to keep secret.
	No, you can't know about that.
	It's national security.
	Sorry, we're not going to answer that question.
	It's national security.
	Nope.
	This is national security.
	We've got to cart this away and hide it.
	But don't worry, we've got top men working on it.
	Top men.
	The obscenity of government's unnecessary wars is struggling to stay hidden.
	And few are paying attention to the doomsday clock now closer than ever to midnight.
	We're forced to abide in ruining our economy through taxes and destruction of the dollar to pay for murdering people in faraway places and possibly all of life itself.
	But it keeps DOD contractors fat and happy, and the politicians alive and in office.
	Later in life, Harry Truman spoke out about the Frankenstein monster he created in a December 22nd, 1963 op-ed in the Washington Post.
	One month after JFK's assassination, he wrote: I never had any thought that when I set up the CIA that it would be injected into peacetime cloak and dagger operations.
	Some of the complications and embarrassment I think we have experienced are in part attributable to the fact that this quiet intelligence arm of the president has been so removed from its intended role that it is being interpreted as a symbol of sinister and mysterious foreign intrigue and a subject for Cold War enemy propaganda.
	Now, the CIA has been a thorn in the side of the American people for decades.
	It has long been just a bastion of evil and wickedness, whether it's through things like the drug war or setting people up.
	Them and the FBI both.
	Should we be surprised that when the government is given an inch, it takes a mile?
	Is that not the history of the Constitution, a document of limited powers that Hamilton and others subverted?
	They basically immediately got to work subverting the Constitution.
	You know, there was Washington, and as far as I know, he didn't do anything major, didn't do anything to undermine it.
	Maybe Jefferson as well.
	But just about everyone else seems to have immediately been like, well, perhaps I can take a little bit here, take a little bit there.
	Hamilton, a prime example.
	Of course, he's the one that they choose to make a musical about for Broadway.
	We're going to take a quick break so I can get some water and come back.
	We're going to cover some more news.
	So stay with us, folks.
	We'll be right back.
	PIANO PLAYS
	PIANO
	PLAYS PIANO
	PLAYS PIANO PLAYS you Defending the American Dream.
	You're Listening to the David Knight Show.
	Welcome back, folks.
	Got a text from my dad pointing out that basically every single government entity uses, as far as I know, everyone does national security.
	The NSA even going so far as when ordered by Congress to show the order that created them.
	Refusing, saying, No, you can't see that.
	Sorry, not going to show it to you.
	You don't get to.
	Not on our watch.
	Yibaru 2029, Operation Paperclip is the mechanism Truman used to create the CIA with former SS Nazis.
	Well, when you only care about outcomes, you only care about efficiency.
	It makes sense to hire the Nazis.
	They were remarkably efficient.
	They were good at their jobs.
	If that's all you care about, sure, why not bring them in?
	Right Overture says, Come on, Travis, we love our cloak and dagger.
	You know?
	Both of those.
	I do like both of those things.
	I like cloaks, they're nice.
	I wish I had a cloak.
	It could be fun, you know?
	I could pull it around my face, pretend I'm the shadow, and daggers.
	Who doesn't like a dagger?
	And dagger's a fun little implement.
	So yeah, cloak and dagger.
	How could we dislike that?
	Come on, it's fun.
	It's a fun little word.
	Two fun little words merged together.
	Nothing to be scared of.
	This is a story coming out of Switzerland.
	It's from the AP News.
	It says a driver faces up to $110,000 in fines for speeding on a Swiss street, but he can afford it.
	He is subject to fines, or those in Switzerland are subject to fines based on their income and wealth, a practice common in Switzerland and other European countries.
	And I personally, I think this is kind of a good idea, in my own opinion.
	You know, here we give no regard to what people can afford.
	You get slapped with a fine, and it can be absolutely ruinous to you.
	It can destroy your entire life.
	But here, this guy is being fined $110,000, but he's a multi-multi, multi-millionaire.
	And it doesn't really affect him.
	A vehicle passes.
	You can see the article possibly, if Lance is able to pull that up.
	You can see the sign there.
	It says indicating the number of driving licenses withdrawn for speeding in the construction zone.
	See that sign there?
	It's 177.
	You know, of course, driving laws tend to be utterly insane.
	But if you're going to have them, I think the system of, well, he can afford this, you can afford that.
	A multi-something that actually assesses the individual and doesn't destroy them.
	Driver's clock going 27 kilometers per hour, 17 miles per hour, over the speed limit on a street in the Swiss city of Luzon, and now he's facing up to 90,000 Swiss francs, over 110,000 in fines as a result.
	Of course, as I said, he can afford it.
	Why the eye-popping penalty?
	Because a speedster, a repeat offender, is one of Switzerland's wealthiest people.
	And assuming since he's a repeat offender, he realizes this is going to happen and he simply doesn't care.
	He probably sees it as the expense of having a fast car and driving it how he wants.
	And the Vod Canton or region serves up fines based on factors like income, fortune, or general family financial situation.
	The Swiss are not alone.
	Germany, France, Austria, and the Nordic countries all issue punishment based on a person's wealth.
	The recent fine isn't even a record in Switzerland.
	In 2010, a millionaire Ferrari driver got a ticket equal to $290,000 for speeding in the eastern canton of St. Galen.
	Back then, the Swiss safety group Road Cross said rich drivers have been lightly punished until voters approved a penal law over hall three years earlier that let judges hand down fines based on personal income and wealth for misdemeanors like speeding and drunk driving.
	And of course, that's part of the reason why they continually get off so easily here in the United States.
	The fines are kind of set.
	So if you're wealthy, speed as much as you want, drive drunk, you're probably not going to have anything serious happen to you.
	You can just pay the fine and move on.
	It is.
	And again, I think speeding, tickets for speeding are ridiculous.
	Drunk driving, on the other hand, that is severely dangerous.
	Under today's rules, an indigent person might spend a night in jail instead of a fine, while the wealthiest in a rich alpine country could be on the hook for tens of thousands.
	Switzerland's 24 Hears newspaper first reported the case and said the man who was not identified was a French citizen listed by Swiss Economic Weekly, Bilan among the 300 richest people in Switzerland, with a fortune in the hundreds of millions of dollars.
	The Daily The Daily reported that an automated police radar photographed the offender driving at 77 kilometers per hour, 48 miles per hour in a 50 kilometers per hour, 31 mile per hour zone.
	I believe this is the original Ferrari offender, the one that got the $290,000 fine.
	The VOD criminal code sets a maximum financial penalty based on the personal and economic situation of the offender at the time of the ruling, taking into account issues like income, fortune, lifestyle, and family financial needs.
	In Switzerland, penalties for speeding can even reach up with the cops.
	One officer was fined for racing at nearly twice the speed limit through Geneva streets back in 2016 while chasing thieves who had blown up a bank teller machine.
	Blowing up a bank teller machine.
	Apparently, there's more action in Switzerland than I've been led to believe.
	Of course, they're obsessive about speed, which, as I've pointed out, to me is ridiculous.
	But at least there's not a two-tier justice system.
	Even going after the cops, sorry, you were driving recklessly, unneedlessly recklessly in pursuit, and you're getting a fine.
	Which I don't think I've ever heard of a story like that in the United States.
	Kodak warns its business.
	It's in substantial doubt after 133 years.
	The company is struggling to meet its debt obligations and pension liabilities with almost $500 million in short-term debt and over $200 million in pension liabilities.
	My dad wanted me to ask you all, how many of you can remember the Kodak commercials from the late 70s?
	You know, the times of your life.
	I, of course, wasn't born then.
	I've seen them on YouTube and things, but did not experience them in their prime.
	My dad has a story, said when they were, you know, he was in college and high school, he played in a band, and they would perform at weddings.
	And when he did, they got a request for, you know, times of your life.
	And they kept it in their repertoire.
	We actually have the Kodak commercial here, which I'll play for you, because maybe it's going to give you all some nostalgia.
	Good morning.
	Oh, my God, for Kodak.
	You wake up and time has slipped away.
	And suddenly it's hard to find the memories you left behind.
	Remember.
	Do you remember the times of your life?
	Kodak film for the times of your life.
	That's right.
	The times of our life.
	Now it's Kodak's time.
	It seems to be slipping away.
	After 133 years.
	The iconic 130, the iconic 133-year-old business cautioned Monday, there's substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a growing concern because it might not have the financial resources to meet its future debt obligations, according to August 11th regulatory filing.
	This is the way of many companies.
	Kodak, of course, being a film manufacturer, and there's not much demand for film these days.
	It's mostly a hobbyist pursuit.
	When people really appreciate the style of old photographs, the way they looked, when they like the coloring and the process.
	But there's not too many of those people left.
	Not enough to support a business like Kodak.
	My dad says that whenever he would drop off film to be developed, he would look over at my mom and say, someday my prince will come.
	Prince, as in photograph prince.
	We've also got Norm McDonald on film.
	Let's take a look at that.
	Let's see what he has to say about it.
	No, you had to use a camera and then you would put film in the camera and then you would go to a photo match.
	It was wonderful and you'd give it to this old man and he'd go behind some beads and stuff, you know.
	And then you go, when am I going to see them pictures?
	And then you go, I'll phone you every couple of weeks.
	How'd that be?
	And then one day you got the news, your pictures were ready.
	And so you brought your whole family, and you all showed up, and you got that envelope.
	It was wonderful.
	And you open that seal, you know, and then there were the pictures, a whole handful.
	Like you go, hey, look at this.
	It's a picture of Aunt Ida, but her eyes are red like the devil.
	Maybe Aunt Ida's the devil.
	Hey, look at this.
	It's a picture of my dog, but I put a hat and glasses on it, so it looked like a person.
	So it looks kind of like a dog a little bit.
	Hey, look, it's a picture of you.
	But look at your jacket and your hair.
	Ah!
	Remember that hair?
	So you needed that time for the picture to have make any sense or have any resonance.
	You know, nowadays you go, hey, would you like to see a picture of you standing right where you are one second ago?
	I got one here.
	Your hair is identical.
	Guess I would be, huh?
	Uh...
	Norm McDonald.
	Gone too soon.
	Got some comments from Dad.
	Says that Times of Our Life was also their wedding song.
	I missed that part.
	Yeah.
	Should have mentioned that.
	It's a very lovely song.
	Norm McDonald was a tremendously funny guy.
	The way he looked at things was always entertaining.
	He had an interesting perspective.
	The warning is the latest development of the photography company's storied history, which includes introducing one of the first consumer cameras in the 1880s and mass manufacturing film roles for hobbyists and professionals alike.
	But Kodak struggled to adapt when digital cameras overtook film starting in the 1990s, leading to a bankruptcy filing in 2012.
	And of course, with cell phones now having cameras on them, there's very, very little call for film at all now.
	Most people don't even have any interest in getting themselves a nicer digital camera.
	They're perfectly content with their phone camera.
	Its current financial crunch is tied to almost 500 million in short-term debt obligations.
	Last year, Kodak had said it would end its pension plan in order to reduce debt, according to the Wall Street Journal.
	Rochester, New York-based Eastman Kodak, founded by inventor George Eastman in 1892, mass-produced the famed brownie and instimatic cameras, popularizing photography as a pastime for generations of Americans.
	Its yellow and red film boxes were ubiquitous in Photoshops and other retailers.
	Eastman said his goal was to make the camera as convenient as the pencil, according to the Kodak website.
	Of course, so pointed out.
	Now everyone has it on their phone, and it's even more convenient than a pencil.
	Most people probably don't carry a pencil with them at all, but almost everyone has a phone with a camera on it.
	Kodak is now nearing completion on a manufacturing plant to create regulated pharmaceutical products.
	The company already makes unregulated key starting materials for pharmaceuticals.
	Production at the retro-fitted facility is expected to start later this year.
	So Kodak, going from a film and camera company that will help catalog memories and help you remember the times of your life, is now going to produce poison, which might cut your life short.
	Isn't that wonderful?
	Such is the way of our modern companies.
	Dad, our dad, David Knight, also pointed out, where we used to live outside of Austin, Musk is violating all kinds of laws and just continues to do whatever he wishes because the fines don't phase him.
	Yeah.
	I forget that Musk basically bought up a small town's worth of land out there.
	And anytime they come in and say, well, we'll fine you, they're forced to give him a fine that, while ruinous for anyone else, has literally zero impact on him.
	He's free to keep doing what he's doing.
	It doesn't slow him down.
	He simply writes them a check and moves on.
	Yeah, I remember seeing stuff about that, about dumping chemicals that he wasn't permitted to do, and they gave him daily fines, which he just pays, because that's cheaper than properly disposing of the chemicals.
	And then there's a bunch of other stories about a whole bunch of stuff that they're allegedly doing their...
	That they continually get fined for, including regular traffic violations of getting in and out of his facility thing, but he just pays it all.
	Yeah.
	And again, that's why I think the Swiss system makes sense.
	These fines, again, ruinous for the average person, but absolutely meaningless to the rich individuals like Elon Musk.
	Fine, yeah.
	Fine is right.
	It doesn't matter to me.
	It's absolutely fine.
	I'll just continue to do what I want.
	Tunnel Lord 133 says, Tunnel Lord 1337 says, if no one got hurt, why is he getting hit with any punishment at all?
	Yeah, that's why I think the laws about speeding are kind of ridiculous.
	Speeding is a victimless crime.
	It's when you, if you lose control of the car and actually hurt someone that it's a problem.
	It should be about if you've actually injured someone, if you've harmed someone.
	Speeding.
	Driving fast shouldn't be a crime.
	Empowered Solutions.
	We sold tons of Kodak cameras and film in our bookstore back in the day.
	Huge company back then.
	Sad.
	I do find it sad to see all these old companies, these people, not people, but these corporations that used to produce things that were interesting or beautiful or meaningful fading away.
	I enjoy photography myself.
	I don't have a film camera, but I enjoy taking pictures.
	And I think it's a very nice hobby.
	I think it can be very relaxing to think about how you'd like to compose a shot, how you would like to frame it, the color settings, everything about it.
	It's a very in-depth process.
	Of course, you can go in and edit them later on, but it can be a lot of fun just trying to get the shot you want directly out of the camera.
	I find it, as I said, very relaxing and a lot of fun.
	Jerry Alitalo, the World Health Organization, has announced the new global pandemic.
	Egoic disassociative syndrome, EDS.
	The only cure is meditation.
	Well, I guess I'm going to be suffering for life.
	I refuse to meditate.
	You can't make me.
	I like being all over the place.
	Guard Goldsmith, good to see you, Guard.
	I had an old roll of film from my teens that I didn't get developed for three decades.
	Then got it done.
	Wild to see the family and the shots that we'd not seen.
	Yeah, that's a, again, that's something, as Norm pointed out, you don't really get with today's cameras, with today's cell phone cameras.
	It's instantaneous.
	It's there.
	It's always available.
	And very rarely do you have that.
	Whoa, wow, look at that.
	Isn't that crazy?
	It's also an issue of historical value of these tapes.
	It's going to be real hard to find someone that's going to be able to develop it.
	I mean, I imagine it's already pretty hard, but this company is probably one of the last people that'll do that.
	So lots of people with important rolls of tape that are decades old that were never developed are going to be in kind of a tight spot there.
	Yeah.
	It's going to be.
	You're going to have to buy your own chemicals and learn how to develop it yourself at this point, probably, which is apparently getting monumentally expensive because all the companies are going out of business.
	Tunnel Lord 1337.
	How did they go from a camera company to a chemical company?
	I would assume it's because they were probably producing the chemicals that people use to develop film, and as such, they had some factories that were already set up for chemical production or something like that.
	That would be my assumption.
	I don't have any hard facts on that, but that would be my guess.
	Some of these development chemicals are probably fairly caustic or toxic, so they have to have factories set up to deal with them, and as such, could probably roll them over into creating poison that they'll shove down people's throats.
	Well, that's our news segment, our miscellaneous news segment.
	We're going to take a quick break, but before we do, a Syrian girl says, In my day, we all took too many pictures of everything you can imagine.
	So, today, people my age have boxes of pictures they never look at, and no one after them will want.
	I'm sure the AIs will want them.
	They'll be able to catalog and assess your genealogy.
	Just think of all the boxes of photos and realize that with smartphones being in everyone's pocket, people are probably taking way more photos now than ever before.
	So, it's true.
	There's a mind-boggling amount of photos and content for AIs to learn off of.
	That's probably what's going to wind up being used for.
	My wife and I, of course, our son was born in November last year, and we've already taken thousands upon thousands of pictures of him, which we're probably getting close to 10,000 between the two of us, maybe more, which you would not have really feasibly been able to do.
	So, our generation has just a massive amount of pictures.
	The real question becomes: how do you effectively store them and save them?
	At least with physical copies, you know they exist somewhere.
	With these, they're on your phone, maybe they're on your computer, but if that drive fails, then they're gone.
	That's why all these places are like, you should really back this stuff up to the cloud.
	You should back it up to the cloud.
	Sure, it's going to give people access to it.
	Sure, it'll probably be scraped for metadata and things like that, but you should put it on the cloud.
	You need to for safety.
	That's really need to start printing some of these things out.
	Well, as I said, that's our miscellaneous news segment: the COSA Act, they're Trojan horsing it.
	It's coming in the back door because it's for the kids.
	We've got to protect them.
	Our collapsing industry system, Kodak going bankrupt.
	We'll be right back, folks.
	stay with us.
	Thank you.
	You're listening to the David Knight Show.
	Hello, it's me, Volodymyr Zelensky.
	I'm so tired of wearing these same t-shirts everywhere for years.
	You'd think with all the billions I've skimmed off America, I could dress better.
	And I could, if only David Knight would send me one of his beautiful gray MacGuffin hoodies or a new black t-shirt with the MacGuffin logo in blue.
	But he told me to get lost.
	Maybe one of you American suckers can buy me some at the DavidKnightShow.com.
	You should be able to buy me several hundred.
	Those amazing sand-colored microphone hoodies are so beautiful.
	I'd wear something other than green military cosplay to my various galas and social events.
	If you want to save on shipping, just put it in the next package of bombs and missiles coming from the USA.
	Music by Ben Thede Welcome back, folks.
	Guard Goldsmith says, I suspect Jeffrey Epstein gathered a lot of the times of other people's lives for power and money.
	Yeah, I don't think Kodak put out that commercial.
	The number one camera preferred by pedophiles with their own private island.
	Kodak, making memories you'll never forget because Mossad won't let you.
	Someone should take the times of our lives and put it over the missing minute footage.
	I skip in the song.
	It skips forward one minute.
	The times of our lives.
	The unpleasant truth about the never-ending war on drugs.
	That's right.
	The war on drugs is never ending.
	It's never going away because you can't win that war.
	You can, however, use that war to shred the Constitution.
	The Constitution is going away because of the war on drugs.
	That's what's happening.
	Before that, we've got B. My Valentine says Kodak had a lot of chemicals going into the Genesee River.
	I don't know if that's the correct pronunciation of Genesi.
	I hope it is.
	Lance says they'll fit right in with other big pharma companies then.
	It's true.
	Audi MRR.
	If Moderna can go from a private equity firm to a vacc manufacturer, Kodak can go from a film manufacturer to a big pharma machine.
	That's right.
	Believe in your dreams, even if it means poisoning the entire world.
	Well, as I said, this is where we're going to talk about the war on drugs.
	The war America has been unable to win.
	The unpleasant truth about the never-ending war on drugs.
	The drug war is big business with big opportunities to expand the police state.
	And expand it has.
	Over my lifetime, it has gotten much more invasive.
	Considering the following headlines that appeared in various newspapers, especially notice the dates of the articles.
	Disgrace and crime sold openly in opium market.
	This is from a New York American, February 22nd, 1927.
	Two daughters accused guitar instructor of giving marijuana to their mother.
	San Francisco Chronicle, March 26th, 1940.
	You gotta watch out for those guitar instructors, man.
	Black Men vs.
	the drug problem.
	Metropol, November 9th, 1969.
	Nixon's War on Drug Addicts.
	The Guardian, June 17th, 1971.
	Drug Lab Defendant Sentenced to Prison.
	Waco Herald Tribune, October 15th, 1988.
	Cocaine Hall, $100 million.
	Greenwood Index, July 27th, 1989.
	In other words, the much-vaunted war on drugs has been going on for a very long time and is still going on.
	It will go on forever.
	Children today will be living under the drug war when they become adults and probably until the day they die.
	Of course, this has resulted in all kinds of random, goofy, nonsense campaigns as well.
	Not just the invasive police state, but things like the DARE program that our friends who were in public school continually made fun of.
	And things like those goofy.
	This is your brain on drugs ads.
	The one where they crack the egg into the pan.
	It has been a monumental waste of time and money and resulted in the continual erosion of our freedoms.
	I recently watched a 1991 movie on Amazon Prime called The Return of Elliot Ness, starring Robert Stack as Ness.
	The beginning of the movie depicted the massive violence that came with alcohol prohibition.
	It was similar to the massive violence we see in the war on drugs.
	Emblematic of prohibition was the war between Ness and alcohol gangster Al Capone.
	But the movie was built around a period of time after prohibition had ended.
	Thus, there were no more alcohol gangsters or alcohol prohibition related crime for Ness to combat.
	Why can't federal drug agents, prosecutors, and federal judges see this?
	Why can't they see they are just wasting their lives and their talents and devoting themselves to this drug war?
	Insanity.
	Or inanity, I should say.
	Because that's what it's always been about.
	It's about making money.
	It's about giving them an excuse to invade our lives.
	Take our freedoms.
	It's never been about stopping drugs because anyone with half a brain can see that this doesn't work.
	The thing that I always find interesting is a lot of the people that are so massively pro-Second Amendment will look you dead in the eyes and say, there's no way to get them off the streets.
	People will just buy them off the black market.
	Are also some of the staunchest supporters of the war on drugs.
	They'll say, no, we've got to continue it.
	We've got to get them off the streets.
	The argument still applies.
	It's still the same.
	My hunch is that they can see it.
	They are smart people.
	My hunch is that they simply do it for the money.
	They have nice government jobs that pay well.
	Like lots of other people, they have mortgages to pay and children in school.
	They don't want to give up their jobs even if they know that their jobs are valueless in terms of meaning and life.
	Of course, government objects to any control on what it can do.
	They don't want any sort of constraints at all.
	We saw the CIA pushing the drugs.
	The Iran-Contra affair, of course.
	This is a big money maker for them in multiple ways.
	CIA gets to sell and push drugs, and then they also get to come in and, with civil asset forfeiture, take whatever they want.
	It makes the money coming and going.
	Evidence has periodically surfaced that the CIA is involved in the drug trade.
	If that's in fact the case, there is no reasonable possibility at all that Congress, or for that matter, any other federal official is going to interfere with how the deep state is making its money.
	The deep state's involvement in the drug trade would guarantee that the drug war will continue into perpetuity.
	And of course, as we mentioned yesterday, maybe it was the day before, we saw them guarding the poppy fields in Afghanistan.
	Soldiers tasked with keeping them safe.
	Audi MRR says, How can the war on drugs be won when the declarers of the war are the ones bringing the drugs here?
	Exactly.
	Exactly what we're talking about here.
	And he says, Nixon brought the war to the U.S. because the United Nations told him to.
	Exactly.
	They said, here's our schedule.
	Here's what we want you to do about it.
	Nixon said, Yes, sir, whatever you say, sir.
	Exactly as you say.
	I'll put it in place.
	I'm not a crook.
	And probably some other things that I couldn't say on air, and shouldn't say in polite company.
	Audi MRR also says, want to get rid of the drug cartels, end the drug war.
	Exactly.
	If you make it unprofitable for them, they'll stop doing it.
	But the fact that it is so massively profitable, so lucrative, because it's banned, because it's a black market, means these drug cartels will always have a way to finance themselves.
	It gives them power.
	It gives them an economic opportunity.
	Well, we also have the fact that Donald Trump may be escalating this into a hot war with the drug cartels.
	He's finally moved away from, well, not moved away, but escalated the drug war.
	They have enriched the cartels, and now they're going to go to war with them.
	Because I mean, you can't really string out a war against an enemy if he's too poverty-stricken, right?
	It wouldn't seem fair.
	It wouldn't be feasible.
	People would eventually catch on.
	It's a lot easier when they're across the globe in Afghanistan or Iraq, and people can't see just how poor they actually are.
	You've got to enrich the cartels first before they pose an actual threat.
	I also want to mention, before we move on to the next article, for the third hour, we have a brand new interview that my dad did, that brand new David Knight is coming up in the third hour.
	He spoke with John Richardson of the RNC store.
	It's about health, it's about how you can stay healthy.
	I'll briefly mention that if you go to RNCStore.com and use promo code Knight, you can get 10% off their products there.
	So if you would like to take control of your own health and hopefully stay out of the medical and industrial complex's grasp, you can check that out.
	They've got all kinds of different things there with many different uses.
	How elite special operations troops created a drug cartel?
	No, how could this happen?
	How could this be?
	Surely the U.S. would never go about creating monsters.
	No.
	This is an article from Reason Magazine.
	The formation and activities of a drug cartel allegedly involving members of the U.S. Joint Special Operations Command, JSOC, stationed at Fort Bragg, North Carolina.
	Good old Fort Bragg.
	Driven past it many times.
	It is ugly as sin over there, by the way.
	Fort Bragg is hideous.
	At least from the outside.
	Maybe it's pretty on the inside.
	The cartel is said to have engaged in drug trafficking, murder, and other criminal activities with some evidence suggesting involvement from higher ranking officials.
	A bizarre criminal conspiracy in the ranks of the U.S. Joint Special Operations Command at Fort Bragg.
	Of course, special forces are very similar in how they operate to the CIA.
	Way CIA used the crack cocaine epidemic to fund their war, the Iran-Contra affair that I mentioned before.
	I believe the guy was Gary Webb.
	Gary Webb, I believe, was the name of the journalist who exposed that.
	And of course, committed suicide.
	I believe he was another one of the ones that was found dead with two gunshot wounds to the skull and was pronounced a suicide.
	There's many of those, so it's a bit hard to keep track of who's who when it comes to multi-gunshot suicides.
	But I believe he was one of them.
	Reason says despite, but it's really because of the drug war.
	U.S. intelligence agencies have sometimes made common cause with rebel forces or client states that dealt in narcotics.
	Alfred McCoy's bombshell 1972 book, The Politics of Heroin in Southeast Asia, exposed opium-fueled proxy warfare in Vietnam and Laos.
	Embarrassing the CIA, the Carry Committee report in 1989 did the same for cocaine-funded operations in Nicaragua.
	Similar reports popped up throughout the long U.S. engagement in Afghanistan.
	As I mentioned, we saw the photos of the soldiers guarding the poppy fields.
	And we've seen, you know, before the U.S. came in, the amount of export of heroin and poppy had shrunk.
	It had gone to almost nothing.
	But then the Americans come in, they take control, and the poppy exportation explodes.
	The Fort Bragg cartel by the longtime Rolling Stone journalist Seth Harp is about something different.
	U.S. troops themselves running a smuggling ring inside America.
	Throughout the early 2020s, there was a wave of disturbing crimes related to the shadowy Joint Special Forces Command, JSOC at Fort Bragg, North Carolina.
	HARP demonstrates that government officials turned a blind eye as JSOC operators stole, killed, raped, and smuggled, shielding them from both military and civilian justice.
	Our government at work The first half of the book is a history of JSOC, an organization that includes Delta Force and SEAL Team 6, and a collection of seemingly unconnected stories about JSOC veterans behaving badly, but the conspiracy comes into focus in part four.
	Former U.S. Army Quartermaster Timothy Dumas and former policeman Freddie Wayne Huff were leading a criminal enterprise that brought together JSOC operators, the local redneck mafia, Puerto Rican smugglers, Los Zetos of Mexico, and even former Islamic State Fighter.
	Man, they had everybody involved in this.
	The one thing you can say is they weren't racist.
	So that's something, I guess.
	No matter who.
	It looks like the cast of a Hollywood movie.
	It really does.
	They were putting a team together.
	Check all the diversity boxes.
	They even got the rednecks involved, the redneck mafia.
	Puerto Ricans, Las Zetas, Mex of Mexico, and Islamic State fighters.
	My goodness, this is a cast of characters.
	I can't wait for the movie about this.
	Dumas, who had threatened to expose a giant criminal operation within JSOC, was murdered in the woods outside Fort Bragg alongside active duty Delta Force soldier Sergeant William Levine in December 2020.
	Although police have charged a local career criminal for their deaths, every local that HARP spoke to was skeptical that the government had the right man.
	Many of them implied that there was a larger conspiracy.
	From late 2020 through early 2023, 12 Fort Bragg soldiers were murdered or accused of murder.
	And some of these cases remain unsolved.
	Violent crime in the area is so bad that the nearby town Fayetteville is nicknamed Fatalville.
	Fayetteville has never been a nice place.
	No matter it's not someplace you ever wanted to go.
	We very rarely ended up there.
	I've never heard Fatalville, though.
	No, that's apparent.
	Maybe that's been a local thing for a while, but as far as I know, that's a new development.
	The most infamous case might be the murder of SPC.
	Jason, if you're in the chat, please let me know what SPC means.
	Enrique Roman Martinez, suspected of selling LSD, he disappeared in May 2020 during a camping trip.
	A few days later, Roman Martinez's decapitated head washed up on a beach.
	The case is still completely cold.
	Decapitation is a I don't think that's one they can rule a suicide.
	I think that might be a little bit far even for them.
	In a 2021 interview with military police obtained by HAARP, the commander of Delta Force's administrative headquarters complained that JSOC was sending problem soldiers and accused criminals to serve desk duty in his unit rather than discharging them from the military.
	Having some of the most tactically skilled, physically fit, and intelligent operators in the military coming in on bad terms is dangerous, the commander said.
	We intentionally limit their physical presence as it is a hindrance to the good order and discipline of the company.
	You spend I imagine it's at least hundreds of thousands of dollars training these guys.
	You're not going to want to drum them out.
	You're going to put them somewhere until you find a use for them.
	The force was founded in the 1970s when Congress was intensely scrutinizing the CIA and it became a way for the White House to conduct intelligence gathering and covert operations without as much oversight.
	During the war on terror, its operators spent long hours of duty killing at extremely fast pace.
	Without the same oversight as other units, troops attached to JSOC had access to plenty of unsupervised resources, including bundles of hard cash for paying informants, and military-issued drugs such as dextroamphetamine, commonly known as Adderall.
	Ah, yes, that's exactly what you want.
	You want a highly trained killing machine tweaked out on Adderall.
	That sounds like a recipe for disaster.
	It's bad enough.
	No, I won't go into that.
	There is no data that is not accessible to them, Jordan Tyrell, a former IT contractor for Delta Force, warned HARP.
	Anything you can think of in a sci-fi movie, it all exists in the real world.
	Some JSOC operators seem to have brought an extremely cynical and paranoid approach back home.
	Their training was such that if you can't control it, you kill it, to quote Penny Flitcraft, whose daughter was murdered by Flitcraft's Delta Force son-in-law in 2002.
	Levine himself shot dead a fellow soldier, Sergeant First Class Mark Leshikar in March 2018 after Lashikar accused Levine of being a spy during a drug-fueled bender at Disney World.
	It's supposed to be the happiest place on earth, guys.
	What are you doing?
	Mm-hmm.
	I'm laughing.
	It's the happiest place on Earth because I can make you disappear.
	That's why they call it the Magic Kingdom.
	Civilian police handled Leshikar's case to military, handed Leshikar's case to military police, who declined to prosecute the shooting despite some significant holes in Levine's self-defense claims.
	At Leshaikar's memorial service, a drunk JSOC reservist cornered Tyrell in the bathroom and accused him of wearing a wire.
	Tyrell told HARP 14 deployments had left their mark on Levine.
	He came back with a serious addiction to stimulants, confiding in a friend that he had killed a child in combat, and we shouldn't be doing what we're doing over there.
	Lashikar would similarly tell his wife, You know, I'm a bad person, right?
	I kill people for a living.
	After Leshaikar's death, Levine sank further into a cycle of guilt and bad behavior, dabbling with the criminal underworld while medicating himself with hard drugs.
	Huff had a parallel disillusionment from the civilian police as a North Carolina state trooper.
	He became skilled at finding and seizing large amounts of suspicious cash from drivers under civil asset forfeiture.
	Later, the Federal Drug Enforcement Administration deputized him to its intelligence office.
	Using his knowledge and connections, he built a breaking bad style drug empire.
	Huff moved kilograms of cocaine through a suburban house, all while presenting himself as a well-dressed small businessman who dealt in used home appliances.
	Huff's supplier was Los Zetas, a gang founded by a renegade Mexican special forces unit, trained ironically at Fort Bragg.
	Dumas had a more mundane yet possibly more revealing backstory.
	As a logistics officer in a support unit for JSOC, he was discharged after his smuggling of stolen government property became too big to ignore.
	Dumas got involved in the cartel after one of Huff's warehouse employees, who had allegedly joined the Islamic State group in Syria and then defected back to America introduced the two.
	The murder of Dumas and Levine finally forced the government's hand bringing the full force of the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security down on Huff's network.
	Still HARP suggests that the authorities haven't really followed up on every possible lead.
	Wonder why that would be.
	A few months before he was killed, Dumas gave Huff a USB drive with a letter naming soldiers involved in a wider network trafficking opiates from Afghanistan.
	Huff, who read the letter, called it an insurance policy and seriously incriminating.
	Three other people independently mentioned the letter to Harp on the record after Huff was arrested.
	After Huff was arrested, the USB drive was seized by the Winston-Salem Police Department, which told Harp that the drive was completely empty.
	It's common now, almost to the point of cliché, to speak of the war coming home.
	And to a large degree, the Fort Bragg cartel was a case of war on terror blowback, but exposure to combat doesn't automatically turn soldiers into criminals, nor do hard drugs.
	This is a very tragic story.
	And it goes to exemplify how all of these things work in tandem.
	The exposure to hard drugs, the constant combat, the orders to do unspeakable things, the secrecy, how it weighs on these men, how it destroys them.
	And even if you buy into the propaganda about these pointless wars that we constantly involve ourselves in at first, after experiencing that being in there killing a child, I assume by accident, you're eventually going to figure out, you know, I've just been paid to be a hired killer out in the world.
	It's that's got away on people.
	This is from Responsible Statecraft.
	U.S. military action against drug cartels?
	It'll likely fail.
	The president reportedly signed a directive to begin targeting narcotics traffickers, a bad idea that will fail again.
	In 2020, during the last year of the Trump administration's first term, President Trump asked then-Defense Secretary Mark Esper a shocking question: Why can't the United States just attack the Mexican cartels and their infrastructure with a volley of missiles?
	Esper recounted the moment in his memoir, using the anecdote to illustrate just how reckless Trump was becoming as his term drew to a close.
	Those missiles, of course, were never launched, so the entire interaction amounted to nothing in terms of policy.
	Yet five years later, Trump still views the Mexican cartels as one of Washington's principal national security threats.
	His urge to take offensive action inside Mexico has only grown with time.
	He's continually bringing it up now.
	He's like, maybe we can go to war.
	Maybe we can have a war right on the southern border.
	The thing is, I used to joke about this.
	I used to continually joke about it with friends.
	I'd say, you know, if we want another war In a sandy country, we might at least do it in Mexico.
	That way, it's close to home.
	We don't have to ship these guys around the world.
	I never thought they'd actually do it, but here we are.
	Maybe I shouldn't have said these things so loud.
	Maybe someone was listening.
	The NSA is always listening.
	I'm sorry, if this was my fault, I apologize.
	I didn't think anyone actually listened to me.
	Sadly.
	That's a pretty good idea.
	Huh, this kid's making some sense.
	We wouldn't.
	Exactly.
	Now, if he wants to get rid of the drug cartels, it's most likely the CIA that just doesn't want competition anymore.
	Like, hey, wait a minute.
	Why are we sharing profits with these guys?
	According to the New York Times, Trump has signed a presidential directive allowing the Pentagon to begin using military force against specific cartels in Latin America, and U.S. military officials are now in the process of studying various ways to go about implementing the order.
	Of course, we saw this in Clear and Present Danger, the Tom Clancy novel and movie, where they send in a clandestine team of special forces units to hunt these guys down, to blow up their operations.
	This is something that has been on their radar for a long time.
	All while it may come as a shock to some foreign policy commentators, it shouldn't.
	Trump, Vice President J.D. Vance, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, and U.S. Ambassador to the UN, and short-lived National Security Advisor Mike Waltz and U.S. Ambassador to Mexico Ron Johnson have all left the door open to military force.
	The Trump administration wasted no time going down this road.
	The CIA is engaging in more surveillance flights along the U.S.-Mexico border and inside Mexican airspace to gather information on key cartel locations.
	The U.S. National Security Bureaucracy was already in preliminary discussions about the possible use of drone strikes against the cartel as well.
	It's all good politics for Trump who recognizes implicitly that getting tough on Mexico economically and politically is red meat for his base.
	The Trump administration may present this as some magic solution that will win the drug war once and for all, but the reality is bullets and bombs have been lobbed at the narco traffickers repeatedly to little positive effect.
	Successive Mexican government since the turn of the century from the conservative Felipe Calderón to the leftist Andres Manuel Lopez Oberdor have relied on the military under the presumption that this was the best way the Mexican state could pressure criminal organizations into extinction.
	And as we've said, as my dad has said for years, until you cut off their method of funding, until you stop their abilities to finance themselves through the war on drugs, nothing will change.
	They'll just get more people.
	There will always be someone that's willing to do this.
	When Amlo entered office in 2018, that's Andres Manuel Lopez Oberdor.
	He tried to get the Mexican army back into the barracks, but wound up expanding their authority and rushing Mexican soldiers into hotspots like Culia Can whenever large-scale violence broke out.
	The result was a bloodbath.
	Rather than submit to the state's dictates, the cartels fought the Mexican state with ever greater levels of force.
	Politicians, police officers, and soldiers were all targeted and killed with greater frequency.
	Areas of Mexico previously insulated from cartel violence were suddenly drawn into the maelstrom.
	Narc narco-traffickers were killed and captured in the process.
	Mexico's cartel landscape was shattered into a million different pieces.
	As my colleague Christopher McCallion and I wrote in July, the demise of the cartel's senior leadership merely opened up these organizations to extreme organizations to extreme bouts of infighting between replacements who sought to grab the crown.
	As a general rule, the person that will grab the crown will be the person that is the most violent, the most brutal.
	So you'll end up with someone that was probably worse than the guy before, because they'll have to engage in severe brutality to hold the reins of power there.
	The end product was a massive uptick in Mexico's homicide rate, which is now three times greater than it was before Calderón declared war almost two decades ago.
	Still, if the objective is to bomb the cartels into submission or convince them to stop producing and shipping drugs across America's southern border, then an air campaign will fall flat.
	We can say this with a reasonable degree of certainty because there's first-hand experience to go by.
	The U.S. Air Force did something similar in Afghanistan in 2017 through 2018, taking out opium labs in Taliban-controlled areas to deprive the Taliban insurgency of the revenue it needed to wage the war.
	We've tried this tactic before, and it hasn't worked.
	But you know, I'm sure it was very, very profitable for the military-industrial complex.
	Raytheon probably made a killing.
	So, why not go again?
	Why not run it back for old time's sake?
	Nibiru 2029 says the CIA, Vietnam War's primary goal was to establish an opioid highway to the U.S. and gain control over the Chinese who were previous main global suppliers.
	It's funny how so many wars seem to have that kind of element.
	Really makes you wonder, doesn't it?
	Wonder why it keeps cropping up.
	IRS announces no changes to withholding tables, information, return forms for 2025.
	The IRS is probably the most terrifying of the government bureaucracies.
	It was the IRS that got Al Capone during Brohibition.
	They're the ones that brought him down.
	The IRS is truly a force to be reckoned with.
	Well, I wouldn't reckon with them.
	There will be no changes to individual information returns or withholding tables for the 2025 tax year.
	Well, the IRS implements the one big beautiful bill in a phased manner, the agency said on August 7th.
	Well.
	In other words, changes are coming, just not this year.
	Yeah, maybe eventually.
	You'll see it.
	We've seen MAGA fantasizing about, oh man, Donald Trump could get rid of the IRS.
	Fat chance.
	Keep dreaming, buddy.
	These people are delusional.
	He's already bragging about making the cuts in the thing permanent, so, you know...
	You can't have permanent cuts if you're getting rid of it entirely.
	Exactly.
	You can't get rid of the IRS.
	He can't even get them to change the forms this year.
	No, we're just going to get tariffs on top of that.
	Yeah.
	Isn't that wonderful?
	Well, that's our drug war segment.
	That's what's going on with the war on drugs right now.
	Isn't it wonderful?
	Like I said, maybe we're bringing it closer to home.
	We're tired of these wars where we have to ship everyone abroad in an AC in a troop transport.
	It's pricey, it's ineffective.
	If we could just have one nearby, surely, that's what would make the difference.
	Mexico is the perfect target.
	I've said it for years.
	You can credit me.
	Please don't.
	We're going to take a quick break when we come back.
	We're going to talk about pharma fascism.

	Welcome back, folks.
	Pleasure to have you here.
	As I said, we're going to look at the pharma fascism, the authoritarianism coming down the pipeline.
	Looking first at the NYC teachers and how they're petitioning the Supreme Court to get their jobs back.
	They refused the COVID jab, and NYC said, Well, you're not going to teach here and kicked him out.
	First, we've got Audi MRR.
	He says, I can't believe that there were people naive enough to believe that the IRS was ever going to be abolished.
	Trump is a grifting P.T. Barnum liar.
	He's probably even worse than P.T. Barnum.
	At least when you went to the circus, you did probably get to see elephants and clowns and the like.
	You got what you paid for, I suppose.
	Trump, you don't.
	You get nothing.
	This is from Life Site News.
	Attorneys representing multiple religious New York City educators have filed a petition with the U.S. Supreme Court in a case known as Kane v.
	City of New York, asking it to review a lower court decision that denied the educators' ability to live and work according to their religious beliefs.
	The educators are Challenging a city mandate that required them to receive a vaccination in conflict with their deeply held religious beliefs.
	They were desperate to get rid of religious exemptions.
	They are desperate to get them out of there.
	No, that doesn't count.
	If you don't want to take it on religious grounds, well, that's too bad.
	I guess you can either take it or you're fired.
	NYC Mayor Eric Adams is still fighting unvaccinated workers viciously, tooth and nail to keep them from returning to our jobs, wrote Chief Petitioner Michael Kaine, leader of Teachers for Choice, which describes itself as a group of educators fighting to be reinstated and compensated.
	Fired for not getting the shot.
	This isn't something that's going away, Kane previously told Life Sight News.
	This isn't something that people have forgotten.
	Imagine I imagine you're not likely to forget when someone fires you for no good reason, says, you have to inject poison or you're out of here.
	This is one of the worst civil rights violations of this country of this century, he declared.
	Democrats want to pretend it never happened, but that's not happening.
	Of course, Donald Trump has far more civil rights violations in the pipeline.
	It's not ending here.
	And it's not just Democrats that want to pretend it never happened.
	The MAGA base refuses to ever admit that Trump had anything to do with it.
	Oh, he was misled by Fauci.
	The worst civil rights violations of the century so far.
	They forgot that important part.
	Exactly.
	I'm sure, give them a few years.
	They're working on it.
	These MAGA has basically learned nothing.
	They'll let him do it again.
	On July 21st, 2025, attorneys with Alliance Defending Freedom, the ADF, Children's Health Defense, and Nelson Madden Black filed a petition for a writ of certiori, cert petition, with the Supreme Court of the United States on behalf of 19 fired unvaccinated educators from NYC.
	It's amazing to me that there's only 19 of them.
	Now, there's probably more that aren't a part of this, that don't want to get involved with the lawsuit, that have just moved on with their lives.
	But that speaks to the sheer number of them that probably just like, yeah, sure, vaccine?
	Oh, I love vaccines.
	I'll take it.
	ADF attorneys noted that New York City officials allowed Christian scientists and Jehovah's Witnesses to claim exemption from the policy, but others were denied.
	They absolutely hate Christians.
	They absolutely despise them.
	They'll do everything they can to go out of their way to give exemptions to these other screwball religions, Christian scientists and the like, but come down with the hammer on Christians.
	Educators were denied because their faith leader, including Pope Francis, publicly endorsed vaccines, but another is no explanation was given.
	Of course, you had people like Robert Jeffers, I believe, was one of the big Baptist advocates.
	Like, yes, I believe he was the one that said it redeems the vaccine.
	These people don't speak for God and they don't speak for us.
	City officials pushed them out of their jobs and even out of the city because petitioners had the wrong faith.
	One egregious example cited in the court filing is that of the Catholic school teacher Margaret Chu, who taught English in East Harlem Public Schools.
	She attended Catholic schools, completed all the sacraments, and follows the Bible per her religious beliefs.
	Chu declined the COVID-19 vaccine and sought a religious accommodation to continue working.
	Chu's parish supported her request, but like Keynes, her request was denied because the Pope, whom Chu disagrees with on this issue, publicly endorsed the vaccine.
	On remand, the citywide panel accepted that Chu had sincere religious beliefs, but denied her accommodation request because it viewed Chu's religious beliefs, which come from her moral conscience as personal and therefore not religious.
	Which this is completely absurd to me because There is nothing more personal than your faith in God.
	God doesn't look at what corporate entity you belong to.
	He looks at whether you believe in Christ Jesus.
	That's what he looks at.
	It's not whether you belong to the Catholic Church or a Baptist Church or an Orthodox Church.
	It's your own personal faith and relationship with Christ, whether you have asked him to forgive your sins and accepted him as your Lord and Savior, your personal Lord and Savior.
	You don't get into heaven based on corporate association.
	Oh, look, I attended Mass.
	Look, I went to church every week.
	Yeah, but did you believe personally?
	Did you accept Christ into your own heart?
	There's nothing more personal than that.
	It wasn't business.
	It was personal.
	This next article is from the Expose.
	Oh, wait, we've got a comment.
	Tunnel Lord 1337.
	He says, oh, did you guys fix the air conditioning?
	And says, was that thunder in the background?
	The air conditioning is fixed.
	It's not as strong as it could be, but it is still working.
	So I suppose I owe Con think a tie.
	I had forgotten about that.
	I have broken my word.
	I am a scoundrel.
	So I'll have to.
	Yes, that is a thunderstorm that you're hearing.
	Yeah, it's getting pretty bad.
	So hopefully we don't lose power.
	That seems to be a running problem with us here, where thunderstorms happen, a tree gets knocked down, and all of a sudden we're dead in the water.
	But this next article is from the Expose.
	Let's not forget the COVID deaths caused by Do Not Resuscitate Orders and Medazalam.
	Don't forget the ventilators or remdesivir or the jab itself either.
	Circumstantial evidence provides strong support for the premise that during the COVID era, the state strategically accelerated the deaths of people whose lives were deemed to be less worthy.
	Additionally, there are testimonies of witnesses.
	Just look at what happened with Grace Shara.
	Just look at what happened there.
	That case is still so incredibly heartbreaking.
	And a little bit of a flicker there.
	The grace with which.
	UPS just saved us.
	Yeah.
	The grace and the way that Scott Shara is able to carry himself, that entire family, to not be screaming with rage and to be so composed.
	And to it's a truly wonderful family, and I feel so sorry for what happened to Grace, but they have truly shown God's love and mercy through their actions and the way that they stood up and fought for the rights of others.
	And said, We want to expose what's happening, but the way they did not rage and scream and attack these people personally.
	I don't know if it's something I would be capable of doing.
	And I have a great amount of respect for Scott and his entire family.
	And I'm sure Grace was a wonderful, wonderful woman.
	And I look forward to meeting her one day.
	Citing multiple witnesses who have testified to the misuse of do not resuscitate orders and medazilam, Dr. Gary Sidley concludes: for those people testing positive for COVID, the guiding rule seems to have been: if dying naturally, don't intervene.
	If not dying, let's accelerate their demise.
	Of course, this was not just something that happened in the UK.
	As we pointed out at the beginning of the article, ventilators were a massive way that they were killing people.
	They were hooking people up that didn't need them, and the ventilators worsened their condition.
	Remdesivir, nicknamed Run, Death is Near, because the nurses knew that once they put people on it, chances are it was going to Have negative outcomes.
	And of course, the jab has caused who knows how many untold deaths across the globe.
	Over the months, Dr. Sidley has been publishing a series of three articles to remind us of the mass casualties of the COVID response.
	They've got the articles linked there in this one as well.
	Evidence consistence, consistent with the assertion that there was a euthanasia agenda during the COVID event.
	Of course, we've seen governments moving towards euthanasia as a solution for everything.
	We've seen Canada backing suicide.
	That's even become a euphemism online when you're arguing with someone who's like, you should try out Canadian health care.
	I've seen people use it fairly frequently, implying that this person that you're arguing with should just end it all.
	It's become such a common thing that it's now simply a euphemism.
	Although falling short of constituting definitive proof, five pieces of circumstantial evidence collectively provide strong support for the premise that during the COVID era, the state strategically accelerated the deaths of people whose lives were deemed to be less worthy.
	The prolonged public health messaging campaign to inflate fear together with official advice, this is point number one, that ill people should stay away from healthcare until they are blue and breathless will inevitably have led to premature deaths of many vulnerable people.
	Number two, official statistics indicate that mortality rates for people with infirmities and/or cognitive deficits were much higher than average.
	A report by the Alzheimer's Society published in September 2020 found that the largest increase in non-COVID excess deaths occurred in elderly people with dementia.
	The mortality rates for those with learning difficulties were also much higher than usual, particularly for 18 to 34 age group.
	Although a BBC report true to form attempts to explain this finding on the basis of disabled people being more prone to obesity and diabetes, and therefore more at risk of dying from COVID-19.
	The more plausible explanation is that they succumb to state-sanctioned neglect and euthanasia policies.
	Number three, the revelations that for periods during the COVID event, official top-down protocols were in place that legitimized withdrawal of care and or the acceleration of death for a subgroup of vulnerable patients.
	These good health pathways, or good death pathways, included National Institute for Health and Care Excellence, NICE.
	Guidance in March 2020 that a chief executive of a learning difficulties charity feared would result in patients with a learning disability not getting equal access to critical care.
	The resurrection of the notorious Liverpool care pathway, often perceived as a death pathway, and a coronavirus triage tool that guided clinicians in parts of Scotland in the process of rationing intensive care.
	Sorry.
	We're rationing it right now.
	Can't have your son or daughter.
	They've got some kind of disability and they're not a priority.
	The British Medical Association and the professional body representing doctors resorted to utilitarian, the greater good directives.
	For instance, in a guidance note issued on the 3rd of April 2020, they endorsed the act of withdrawing treatment from an individual who is stable or even improving, but whose objective assessment indicates a worse prognosis than another patient who requires the same resource.
	No doubt.
	This is, again.
	And it's important to remember that the hospitals were incredibly empty at all this time.
	People were afraid to go into the hospitals.
	They were below their usual operating procedures.
	And this was confirmed because we saw continually videos and pictures of empty beds being exposed and the fact that nurses and doctors had all that time on their hands to film these TikTok dances.
	I'm sure all of you remember that.
	They eventually seemed to have cut it out because people kept getting upset.
	People kept pointing out, we're supposed to be in a pandemic.
	People are supposedly dying left and right.
	It's supposed to be one of the most tragic events of your life.
	But instead of Doing anything instead of the round-the-clock shifts that you're allegedly pulling, you're dancing down the hallways.
	It was truly one of the most obvious absurdities I've ever seen in my life.
	It was utterly disgusting to me.
	Even if whether, you know, I don't believe that virus is real.
	I don't believe viruses are real.
	But even under the best of circumstances, a hospital is where there are sick people, hospitals where there are dying people.
	You have families that are spending their last moments with their loved ones there.
	And you're going to be filming a TikTok dance in the corridor.
	You're going to be down in the parking garage, just dancing around.
	It's so incredibly disrespectful and disgusting to me.
	And I had people saying, oh, well, it's how they're dealing with their grief.
	It's a de-stressor.
	If you can't handle the stress, if you cannot handle it, you don't deserve to be a nurse or a doctor.
	If this is how you have to deal with it, then find a different line of work.
	It's that simple.
	You don't get to behave in this fashion.
	We demand a certain level of behavior, a certain code of conduct.
	It's not acceptable.
	It's not acceptable for you to be dancing down the hallways.
	COVID-19 activity increases across U.S., mostly on the West Coast, says the CDC.
	More lies, more fear-mongering.
	This is from Zero Hedge, but it's authored by Jack Phillips via the Epoch Times.
	COVID-19 levels are rising in the United States with the highest numbers occurring along the West Coast, according to new data published by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
	Now, the real question is what's on the West Coast?
	Oh, yeah, that's California and Washington, right?
	Two of the most Oregon as well.
	Two of three of the most liberal states in the Union.
	States that you would expect that vaccination rates would be the highest.
	But this is where COVID-19 is rising.
	I wonder why that could be.
	I wonder what's going on.
	I wonder if it's because that's probably where they're doing the most extensive testing, where they're still using PCR tests regularly.
	I wonder.
	On August 8th, the CDC stated that the national wastewater viral activity for COVID-19 increased from low to moderate.
	From the previous week, according to an Epoch Times review, the region with the highest number of cases is the western United States.
	Ah, dear, I was thinking they were going to have some positive nonsense PCR tests, but no, they just have...
	Oh, we've been testing the sewer system, and guess what?
	Our sewers are positive for COVID.
	No, not the sewers.
	Oh man, has anyone checked on the teenage mutant ninja turtles recently?
	Raphael, speak to me, please.
	We can't live without you.
	I feel so sorry for them down there.
	How on earth will we get by without them protecting us?
	That's it for the pharma fascism segment.
	The teachers are suing for their jobs back in New York.
	We'll have to see how that goes.
	My real question is: why would you want to go back to these institutions that so callously threw you out?
	That obviously don't respect you and hate everything you stand for.
	Why on earth would you ever go back to them?
	It doesn't make sense to me, though.
	I guess these people are committed to their.
	I assume that they have good intentions.
	I like to believe that there are still good teachers out there that are trying to do what's right.
	They think that they are helping the next generation and as such are willing to fight for it.
	I still wouldn't put my kids in any public school.
	My kid so far, hopefully more.
	But I hope that these people are doing it for the right reasons.
	Audi MRR says lawyers have been making millions off of wrongful deaths, wrongful death, remdesivir lawsuits for years and years, yet it is still on the market.
	Well, it's just so long as it's more profitable to sell it and pay out than it is to just take it off the market, it'll stay.
	And then eventually they'll rename it, put it back on the market, and the cycle will repeat itself.
	A Syrian girl says, Doctors and nurses used to be portrayed as having dignity and stoicism, caring for the ill, probably was giving them too much credit.
	But today's portrayal hides nothing.
	You know, I've said this before, but I've met a I've met some very good nurses, some very kind nurses, but they tend to be older.
	They tend to be from a previous generation.
	They tend to be ones that got into it a few decades ago.
	And they deeply care about the people that they're caring for.
	They are trying to do what's right, and they are trying to provide the best possible care for them.
	It is generally the younger generations, and I know I angered some people in chat by saying this.
	And I don't mean to imply that it's all of them.
	And I'm sure that if a nurse is in your family, that they're doing it for the right reasons.
	But most of the nurses I've met that are my age or younger or slightly older simply got into it because it makes good money and it gives them social clout.
	It gives them this halo.
	Oh, you're a nurse.
	Thank you so much.
	You're a nurse.
	I cannot thank you enough for everything you've done.
	You're a nurse.
	Oh, my goodness.
	They're looking to be praised.
	They aren't looking.
	They don't care about helping people.
	The fact they help people is just incidental to the job.
	And it's a sad state of affairs.
	Assyrian girl, Travis, the teachers can't find a cushier job anywhere in our culture as the ones they were bounced out of.
	That's very likely true.
	Again, I want to believe these teachers are specifically doing it because they're standing up for individual liberty and their rights, not simply because it's a cushy job that comes with a lot of benefits.
	However, you are right.
	Teaching is, I mean, what other job on the planet do you get months off at a time?
	I know, I know, they're continually complaining that they're underpaid, but considering the state of our education system and how dumb our kids come out of it, I think they're probably overpaid, personally.
	This is the kind of education you get.
	This is the kind of education you're giving to our children.
	Why on earth are we paying you at all?
	That's why.
	I mean, you can say that you need, you know, good teachers in there to count out the bad ones, but I feel like at this point, the entire cause from the beginning to have the government in control of the school system.
	It doesn't matter how good the teacher is.
	If the curriculum is evil and wicked and completely and utterly filled up with LGBT sexual nonsense and critical Marxist theory, hatred for white people, it doesn't matter how good the teacher is.
	If it's the ones that, you know, took a stand on.
	And let's remember it's 19 out of the entire entirety of New York City.
	Yeah, but like you said, it's 19, so they're not going to change anything.
	Even if they were a lot of them, it still wouldn't really make that much of a difference.
	Even if every single teacher was one of these guys, if they were still teaching the same curriculum, it would still be a problem.
	It still wouldn't be good.
	But since it's only 19 out of the entirety of New York City, it goes to show how completely and utterly subservient to the dictates of the federal government and just any other governing body these teachers are.
	19 good teachers in the entirety of New York City is not going to make a difference.
	It is not going to matter in the slightest.
	And as such, don't put your kids in public school.
	Don't do it.
	They will be transformed into leftist goblins.
	They'll be turned into sexual degenerates.
	Even homeschooled kids that get sent off to college can still be damaged by this propaganda.
	I played you a little bit of that clip that I found on YouTube of that trune Talking about this other trune in their life and how they were now, oh, I'm this girl's mom, except you're a dude, you're not a mom.
	And the person they were mentoring in the way of being a trans was a girl that had been homeschooled and went off to college.
	College, college is where the propaganda really kicks into high gear.
	And it's where many, many hyper-ideologues are.
	College is just as dangerous, perhaps even more so, than just sending your kids to school.
	Even if you have trained them, even if you have given them good instruction for their entire life, sending them to college can still completely destroy them.
	So if you know someone who, as a kid that's going to college, if they're just going to go, if they don't know what they're going to study, if they don't know what they want to do with their life, see if you can convince them not to go.
	They'll end up with a metric ton of debt and probably be indoctrinated into some insane ideology.
	John Bazalone, my wife made $140K per year working nine months a year with every holiday off.
	She was a high school teacher, a lower middle class district.
	Her pension is $103K a year.
	Well, gosh, darn.
	That's a lot of money.
	I'm sure your wife was a good teacher.
	I'm sure she probably did everything she could to not teach the garbage.
	My goodness, that's a lot of money, and that's a substantial pension.
	Nibiru 20.
	I guess now you see why teachers need more money in order to teach better.
	Exactly.
	I need more monies to teach more gooder.
	Nibiru 2029.
	Teaching is the only occupation that gives the worker summers off and still covers all their medical costs.
	Yeah.
	No one else gets that kind of cushy treatment.
	Those jobs don't exist anywhere else.

	Joining us now is John Richardson of RNCStore.com.
	Great to have John on, and I really do like the products that they've got there.

	So we really do appreciate John and what he does at RNC store.
	And I wanted to get him on because he just had a health issue as well.
	Thank you for joining us, John.
	Tell us a little bit about that.
	What happened to you?
	Well, yeah, thank you so much, David.
	It's my pleasure to be here.
	I know as we age, we tend to forget the fact that we need to take care of ourselves.
	So we get into these situations.
	You know, I've always thought of myself as being bulletproof because I know I'm never going to die of cancer and nobody in my family is ever going to die of cancer.
	And G. A. R. Griffin, our mutual friend, I just saw him in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
	He'll be 94 this year.
	And his book, World Without Cancer, has been, you know, it's kind of like the Bible of what I do because he's been talking about for 50 years.
	So going through my own health scare, which I've never been through anything like this, basically opened my eyes further to how incredibly deviant or devious the medical system is.
	Not necessarily because everybody in it's bad, David.
	I'm not, you know, we all have friends that are in the medical industrial complex, and most all of them are good people.
	Most all of them, you know, mean well, but most all of them are learning.
	They've never been taught what it really means for good health.
	So their answer in our system is just to cut, burn, and poison us.
	As Americans, we want to have immediate surgery.
	That's all, you know, it's everybody has media surgery.
	So my story, not any different than anybody else's, thankfully had a better outcome because I am who I am, but it's given me, David, a whole new mission to get the world into a place where people don't have to be John Richardson to have the good outcome.
	So it was Easter Sunday.
	I'd been having, for months, I'd been having stomach pains and I was just dealing with it because I'm bulletproof.
	I was just dealing with it, you know, like us, we do.
	I don't need a doctor.
	I've got friends that will tell me, you know, eat sauerkraut and take some bentonite clay and some psyllium husk and it'll clean your system out.
	Drink this, drink that.
	Not getting any support from my hundreds, literally hundreds of naturopathic doctor friends until on Easter Sunday, I went out to brunch with my son afterwards and I had some pastrami, you know, eggs benedict.
	And I developed this blockage in my intestine.
	And the rest of Easter Sunday, I just felt worse and worse to where I was just throwing up incessantly.
	I had been losing weight, but I thought it was all good.
	I'd been losing weight while I had this pain in my stomach.
	And so my 17-year-old said, Dad, I'm tired of seeing you throw up.
	This is just not working.
	I'm going to take you in to urgent care.
	My wife happened to be in Florida, so I didn't have my wife who's into health and nutrition, and she wasn't there by my side.
	So I kind of couldn't call any of my doctor friends.
	So I said, okay, let's go in.
	And I threw up on the way to the hospital, to the urgent care.
	I threw up while checking into the urgent care, signing away all my rights.
	And then I threw up while I was in the room.
	And by 3 o'clock in the morning, they had ambulanced me over to the, it was, gosh, the Honor Health Care.
	I usually have, it was Honor Healthcare, five-story, high-rise, multi-million dollar hospital here in Arizona.
	And they, you know, immediately put me on an IV, offered me morphine, which I declined.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, they offered me morphine, which, by the way, as I've learned about morphine, it basically helps you not make good decisions.
	It might take away pain, but it also makes you pliable that they say, well, we'll take off your foot.
	If we take off your foot, it'll make you feel better.
	You go, oh, great, dude.
	Whatever.
	That sounds like fun.
	Let's try it.
	And so as I've told this story, David, people go, yeah, that's they did to me too.
	They offered that to me too.
	I'll get to that later.
	But by 3 o'clock in the morning, I was getting a CAT scan.
	And then by Monday, this was Sunday that I, Sunday night, Easter Sunday.
	By Monday at about 3 o'clock in the afternoon, I was sitting with a good-looking, you know, straight out of central casting surgeon who told me I had stage three colon cancer and that I had an emergency surgery scheduled for Wednesday.
	David, I hadn't even been in this hospital for 24 hours.
	And of course, I knew I didn't have cancer, but he was sure I did.
	And I said, well, how do you know?
	And I said, you know, what did you do?
	You know, I was awake during this whole time.
	I wasn't on morphine.
	I probably fell asleep a couple times and they were sticking things in me and pulling blood and all this stuff.
	But one of the things, David, is they stuck a tube, a nasal stomach pump through my nose, down my throat, and were pumping out this bile that was causing me previously to be throwing up so much.
	Now they were taking that pressure off.
	So I wasn't feeling sick to my stomach, even without the morphine or any other things, but they were putting fluids into me.
	And so I said, how do you know?
	He said, well, from the CAT scan, we can see you have an apple core lesion.
	And we know that 99.5% of the time, if you have that presentation, that means you have colon cancer.
	So I said, well, that's all the indication.
	Yeah, well, we know that you have colon cancer.
	And so we can't do a colonoscopy.
	And at that point, David, I didn't know how horrible colonoscopies were because, again, I've grown up my entire life eating apricot seeds and never known anybody that's ever had cancer.
	So I was never concerned about when people say, oh, you got to get a colonoscopy when you're 45 now or 46 and 47 every year.
	Since this, I've learned, which I'm happy to share, how deadly colonoscopies can be.
	One out of a thousand people that gets a standard colonoscopy dies during the colonoscopy.
	So it's a horrible procedure that many people watching say, well, I just got mine and they clipped off some polyps.
	That's what starts the process down to getting sick, more sick, getting cancer.
	So getting a colonoscopy.
	Thankfully, they didn't do one when I was not coherent and I didn't take any morphine.
	So they didn't offer one.
	But he said, we couldn't do a colonoscopy because it's 100% certain that we'd perforate your colon.
	So we're going to take out this much of your colon.
	He drew a cartoon picture on the whiteboard of my room.
	I took a photo of it.
	I shared it with people.
	And I can even share with you, but I took a photo.
	He had literally like a first grader's picture of my colon.
	I'm going to take off this section down to this section.
	And I go, why do you have to cut out so much?
	And he said, because we want to make sure we get all that cancer because there's going to be some lymph nodes and things like that.
	And I said, you know, that seems pretty drastic.
	I want to see how I feel and talk to some naturopathic doctor.
	There's no other choice.
	That's it.
	There's only three options.
	Okay, so I go through the surgery.
	I'll have a colostomy bag.
	He explained.
	I'd have to come in every three months and get anti-rejection drugs because, David, they would have to connect a tube this big to a tube this big.
	They were going to cut out my large intestines at the top all the way down to my duodenum.
	And because I was for sure had cancer.
	Well, that started the process.
	Now I got started getting on the phones, which I should have done before with my good friends, my doctor friends, Dr. John Murphy, a cancer specialist who uses integrative therapy here in Arizona for 25 years.
	I talked to my good friend Daryl Wolf, who is called the doc of detox, who's been doing colon, non-surgical colon repair for 40 years.
	He says 95% of colon surgeries are unnecessary, John.
	Don't let them give you a colonoscopy.
	Don't let them cut into you.
	Don't do any of that.
	So I was pushing back to these doctors, but that just started, David, a process of 15 white-coated doctors coming into my, including palliative care.
	When I told them I wasn't going to do the surgery, they said, why do you want to die, John?
	You know, you're 60 years old.
	We can get you to 70.
	You know, you can live another 10 years with your kids, your 11 grandchildren, or your 11 children, see some grandchildren.
	If you don't do this, John, you'll be dead within 10 days.
	And literally, David, 15.
	Yeah, GI, the head of GI, I was told he was the top GI guy in the state of Arizona, and I have his name, the head of the whole hospital, the palliative care, the nutrition.
	Every one of these people said, you know, you are healthy.
	I had no symptoms of any other kind.
	I was good blood pressure, good heart rate, good, all my, you know, my, the only thing I was low on was iron because I was throwing up so much and hydration.
	I needed some hydration.
	So they continued that into Wednesday, about Wednesday morning, about midnight, I started having bowel movements.
	And I was told by my friend, Dr. My Doc of Detox, Daryl Wolf, who has become a very dear friend of mine, he said, John, let them keep getting the pressure off you.
	You've got some kind of blockage.
	Colon could be twisted.
	You could have some kind of food blockage, whatever it is.
	Just let them get that pressure.
	Keep that tube in there.
	Don't let them take it out and stay with it.
	So I started having, I had 15 bowel movements between midnight on Wednesday till about 6 p.m. on Wednesday when I was scheduled for my emergency surgery.
	So I told all the nurses and all the doctors, David, and you know what their response was?
	There's no change, no change.
	You still need to do the surgery.
	So I requested, against their advice, to have another CAT scan.
	Although, you know, I wish I didn't do that, but I did another CAT scan.
	To this day, David, 120 days after this whole episode, I've never seen that second CAT scan.
	And my doctors who have requested that second CAT scan have not seen it.
	But they said, no change, John.
	There's no change.
	Everything's the same.
	But guess what?
	We found a colonoscopy expert.
	We found one that will do a colonoscopy now.
	And he will, no, he's not going to perforate.
	He's never had a perforation where you would die on the operating table because you get sepsis and everything.
	So we've miraculously found this expert because I refused a surgery.
	And so I was considering it, David.
	I was saying, well, they're saying I'm going to die.
	They're telling my kids that.
	They're telling me everybody surrounding me.
	So I was considering a colonoscopy.
	And that's when Daryl Wolf said, I wouldn't do that to my worst enemy, John.
	All they're going to do is dump radioactive materials down you.
	It's going to be like cement.
	It's going to destroy your gut biome for five weeks.
	They're going to find a polyp that they're going to cut off, or they're going to find this blockage and they're going to do the surgery.
	You're going to sign away your rights.
	You're going to be passed out sleeping.
	Now these doctors, 15 doctors have told you need surgery are going to prove that you need surgery.
	If you think you have inflammation now, John, which I was a 10 out of 10 with colon inflammation, they're going to increase that inflammation.
	Don't do it.
	So I was literally, they were sending in nurses to give me the medications to make it so I could have this colonoscopy.
	And I said, no, I'm declining.
	And they all looked at me.
	The nurses, everybody looked at me like I was crazy.
	And then they basically said, you know, we're going to have to write you off.
	We're not going to be able to keep you here at this hospital.
	You're going to have to sign a document saying that you're going against medical advice and none of your procedures going forward are going to be covered by insurance.
	You've got your surgery covered.
	It's going to be a $50,000 deductible for the $250,000 surgery.
	That was going to be covered.
	But if you continue down the path you're doing, John, you're not going to be covered.
	So, of course, David, it's all about money.
	And the surgeon, that guy with a good bedside manner, said he had six surgeries scheduled for Wednesday.
	I was the sixth.
	And at an average of $200,000 to $250,000 per colon surgery, you can imagine how much the hospital stood to gain that day.
	So I just started having these epiphanies after epiphany.
	Never was I considering it, David, but I was seeing what the average Joe who has no history.
	I remember I grew up with G.R. or Griffin.
	I grew up without cancer.
	I grew up with my father.
	And so I had this backbone knowing I didn't have cancer, but they were all telling me I did.
	And on, I think it was Wednesday or Thursday, Fox News flashed up, was a sign from God.
	Fox News, I took a photo of it, said there's been 158,000 diagnoses of colon cancer so far in 2025, and one out of five of them are occurring in people under 50.
	So there they are, Fox News, saying this is an industry, basically, David.
	There's my friend, Dr. Murphy, and my friend, Dr. Ed Group, and Henry Ely and Brian Artis, and all these amazing healers are all saying, you know, 95% of colon issues are just irritation.
	You've got something going on.
	You just need to change your diet, change your lifestyle, change whatever you're doing.
	Stop drinking alcohol, John.
	That one drink I have, you know, to make me relax the day, that's not good if you've got stomach pains.
	So here I am watching it on.
	I took a picture not only of all the different doctors that were listed on my chart and how they were growing.
	So I was just being hit, and I had those 15 bowel movements.
	And then so by Thursday, when I refused the colonoscopy, they basically started writing me off.
	I was told, oh, am I going to hear from the gas?
	No, he wrote you off.
	The gastroenterologist, the most famous one in Arizona, had never even come to see me, David.
	He never even came to my room.
	They've all got the number one guy and the most famous one.
	Every hospital's got one of those guys.
	Yeah.
	And what does that mean, David?
	What does it mean when they're the number one guy?
	You know what it means.
	Who rates them?
	Yeah, he has the most surgeries.
	There you go.
	Why is he number one?
	Because he produces the most income for that hospital of anybody.
	He's not number one because he sends the most people home without destroying their life.
	So again, I'm just a statistic.
	And they told me they had never had pushback from anybody.
	So they told me, okay, John, the only thing you can do is surgery, chemo, radiation.
	That start would start Monday after five years of healing.
	So of course, David, I kept pushing it out.
	My friends were saying, stay in with the tube in, let them keep you comfortable, keep getting the liquids out.
	I was pumping out this bile that was backed up in my colon, and so it was helping relieve that pressure.
	Otherwise, I'd had to be home just throwing up.
	Yeah.
	You know, because that's what your body does.
	If you've got a blockage, your body's going to naturally throw up.
	It doesn't feel good, David.
	It's not fun, but it's a lot more fun than cutting out two and a half feet of your colon.
	So by Friday, I had negotiated with the main doctor.
	He and I had befriended each other.
	And we agreed that, okay, I can come back and get the surgery at any time, right?
	Yes, you can.
	But you're a much higher risk, John.
	You're going to be right back in the hospital immediately if I send you home.
	But you want to take the risk, so I'm going to let you.
	But you first got to take the tube out, and you've got to eat some food, and we've got to see how your body reacts.
	If you have the same problem all over again, I'm not going to be able to let you go.
	And I'm like, what do you mean you're not going to let me go?
	He said, well, I'm going to have to send you to another hospital because we can't take that liability on.
	I said, well, okay, let's do that.
	I knew that I could get up and walk out, David.
	I knew they can't just Gestapo hold me.
	Actually, there was 10% of me that wasn't sure.
	Yeah.
	Oh, yeah.
	I'm not sure what the laws are.
	They're very good.
	Yeah, they're really good at stopping you.
	So I basically went through that on Friday.
	And then by Saturday, the doctor signed me out.
	Then I was persona non-grata.
	Nobody stopped by anymore.
	There was no interest in talking to me, except that one main doctor who made me promise that I would come back and get the surgery if I didn't heal.
	The last words he said to me before I finally said, okay, this episode is over, is he said, John, if there was a natural way to heal what you have naturally, the guy that would do that would be a trillionaire, John.
	And that's when I realized these guys are so, they're not just, they're not evil.
	They just don't know that there's any other way.
	So if you've got colon blockage, you've got to have surgery that shortens your life to 70.
	And when they told me I could live to be 70, David, I thought, well, you're going to shorten my life by 50 years because I plan to be 120 years old.
	Like for your audience, CNBC did an article on February of 2024 that said the Hunzas of northern Pakistan, just like Ed Griffin said, live to be over 100 years old.
	And the number one way that they live to be 100 years old is they eat apricot seeds and apricot kernel oil.
	So the CNBC, they're not a friend of ours, are they?
	But they said that and they linked it to a study that said amygdalin causes apoptosis and cancer cell.
	So I got out on that Saturday.
	I was weak.
	I could, you know, I was, I felt like I had a new lease on life.
	And I started 40 days and 40 nights of drinking my meals, taking B17 injections.
	I did everything that I would recommend or that a doctor would recommend to a true, a real colon cancer patient.
	And I, at the end of 40 days and 40 nights, it was funny, I didn't plan it that way.
	My mama bear, we call her Jan, said, you know, it's been 40 days and 40 nights, and you just said you're 100%.
	David, I feel better than I felt in years.
	I always have felt good.
	I've always felt bulletproof, but now my energy levels are incredible.
	I've been doing 15 podcasts a week telling the story, letting people know about it.
	Because never was I concerned that I had cancer, but they were telling me I did.
	So I went through the entire process.
	So the natural question is, how are you doing now?
	I haven't gone back for my third CAT scan because I just recently went back and saw Dr. John Murphy, who's been practicing for 25 years using Laotrol as his practice as an MD in Tempe, Arizona, but underground.
	He's never really published it.
	He's never told people.
	But he took over the practice.
	I want to tell people how incredible of a story it is.
	He took over the practice of a doctor named Dr. Benzel, who was in the Midwest, who wrote a book called Alive and Well, and I'm looking for it right now.
	My assistant is usually in the office.
	She's not here, but I'll try to find it.
	He wrote a book called Alive and Well about his practice in the 1980s, 90s, and the first year of 2000, where he was treating patients with laatriol successfully.
	And Dr. John Murphy, an MD here in Tempe, Arizona, who has AZ good Health, has been doing it for 25 years.
	His very first patient, David, is still alive today that he treated with Laotrol.
	He tells a story of it regularly.
	And he's got over 400 patients currently taking laatrol right now.
	And he's an MD.
	They tried to take his license in 2016 and were unable to do it because they couldn't find anything he did wrong.
	Because he doesn't recommend against people doing chemo radiation.
	He just recommends they also take care of their immune system at the same time.
	He actually offers latrol.
	So that's the answer to that surgeon.
	If there was a natural way to do this, they'd take away your license.
	Yeah, exactly.
	That's what we've seen over and over again.
	And Dr. Murphy chuckled when I told him that story because he said, John, I actively try not to become wealthy because they'll always claim, oh, he's just doing this to get rich.
	Whereas he says, I've got friends that are 100 millionaires because they do chemo radiation surgery and no one ever says, oh, they're just doing it to get rich.
	But if you try to treat someone naturally for a couple thousand dollars or maybe ten thousand dollars for their entire natural treatment, but you have to charge cash because there's no insurance policies that cover it, then you're then they claim you're just doing it to get rich.
	So I went through the process and so now, David, you know, so I had people going, oh, you know, they said you had cancer, John.
	I thought, you know, if you took apricot seeds, you'd never have cancer.
	Well, I believe I don't.
	I never did.
	Did you ever find out what it was?
	I believe, and Dr. Murphy believes, and other doctors believe I had, what I had done is created a blockage from bentonite clay and psyllium husk, which are great things to use, but I had used them improperly.
	So it is a lesson that even if you think you're the most smartest guy like I am as far as history of B17 and all that, I think God let me know in a way that, John, just because you know a lot about B17 and cancer and all that doesn't mean you know anything About bentonite clay.
	So it's given me this new epiphany, David, to find natural healing doctors out there and let people know about them.
	So when people ask me about what they need to do, I've never given medical advice.
	I always say I'm not a doctor.
	I've just said, here's what my dad said.
	But I really want people to have someone to hold their hand alongside them because if you try to do it yourself, you can't know it all about everything.
	And there's doctors like Dr. Murphy who have been practicing for 25 years that have seen a situation or they've seen it 5% of the time somebody had some other issue they had to deal with.
	So he does, the doctor I'm talking to do a lot of testing.
	They do a lot of testing.
	Then they say, John, it's like a roadmap.
	If you're weak in niacin or you're low in iodine or you're low in vitamin C, we get all those things adjusted.
	And then the B17, the B15, and the enzymes worked that much better.
	So many times we've seen people take them and get great results.
	And then other times they don't get the great results.
	So what's the issue?
	They might have some other thing going on.
	And so it works really great when someone's diet's balanced.
	And so that's what I've discovered throughout this.
	So I've really been, you know.
	And of course, having a medical professional that's there and monitoring what's going on, always, whatever kind of treatment or medicine you're talking about, it always comes down to dosage, right?
	Too little of something, it's not going to be effective.
	Too much of it, and it's always going to be a problem.
	I mean, you can die at too much water, you know.
	We've seen that over and over again.
	And I had that thrown back in my face many times when I was in the hospital by these doctors.
	Well, you know, water can kill you.
	And it's like, yeah, but I'm not taking your statins and all the rest of this stuff.
	I said through a couple of different lectures about the framing study from a doctor that was there who did the operation, trying to get me to take statins.
	And it's like, I'm not going to take them.
	I've done my research.
	I know they create a cholesterol deficiency.
	I don't want anything else messing with my brain.
	And, of course, my thing when I got into it, I'm looking at it, and I'm skeptical of their motivations for money, as you were talking about.
	Yeah, I'd had like probably a TIA and I fell out of my chair.
	And then the next day, I had a real stroke for real.
	And so it's getting worse.
	And they took me to a hospital nearby.
	And the hospital said, well, we can't do this operation, but you really need to have this operation because they did an MRI and they saw that I had carotid blockage.
	And of course, I wondered, how do they know what percentage that blockage is?
	You know, that sounds a bit suspect, but they weren't trying to do anything with it to make money.
	So I thought, all right, well, I'll listen to what they have to say.
	And the doctor who was there spent a great deal of time trying to get me into one of the two hospitals around here that did it, trying to get me into the closer one because it was one down in Chattanooga.
	And so I thought, well, maybe I should listen to them.
	And then they come in and they say, well, you know, you've had two strokes.
	You're going to have another one unless we clean this out, you know, because it's breaking off and causing you to have strokes.
	And they showed that to me on the MRI.
	You could see the different areas where it hit my brain.
	And so I okayed it, and I really regretted that.
	I really regret it.
	I woke up in the ICU, and I call it in retrospect.
	You say there's a lot of good people there in the world.
	And I had a lot of really good nurses.
	They were very thoughtful, very kind, very responsive with things.
	But then this ICU nurse that I had there was going to be leaving in a couple of days and he had this real attitude.
	And I woke up and my mouth was so parched, I was begging for some water.
	And he wouldn't give me any.
	And I'm all wired up and all this other kind of stuff.
	And I'm begging him.
	I said, please have mercy on me.
	Give me some water.
	He wouldn't do it.
	And I'm fidgeting because I also had this, what do they call it, thing, canela or something in your nose.
	And it was drying out my water.
	It wasn't a breathing.
	It was oxygen they were giving me.
	Yeah, it was oxygen.
	And I didn't need it.
	And I'm trying to get this thing out because drawing my nose out to boot.
	My mouth was so dry.
	And he says, don't touch that.
	And I moved it again.
	And he says, I'm going to put you in restraints.
	It was a war between the two of us.
	And so he set me up to fail a swallowing test.
	And he put a tube down my nose and my throat and damaged my vocal cords.
	But I'm better now.
	And praise God.
	I had a lot of people praying for me.
	But, you know, they caused me to have a third stroke.
	The operation caused me to have a third stroke.
	And then they damaged my vocal cords.
	And as part of the operation, they damaged the hypoglossal nerve, the nerve under your tongue.
	And I'm still not fully recovered from that, but it was really bad.
	It did cause me problems with swallowing, and it did cause me a lot of problems with talking.
	And it even felt like I had my tongue was burned.
	I mean, it was really, the side effects of the operation were horrific.
	And it was so bad.
	I was so fed up with the whole thing that as soon as he got off the shift, I couldn't even stand up.
	But I pulled out that thing and threw it on the floor.
	And the next nurse, she was really nice, but I was a very bad patient.
	And I got up on the edge of the bed and I said, get this thing out of my arm.
	I'm getting out of the hospital.
	And I would have if I could have walked over, walked right out of there, but I couldn't.
	Did you have any support with you?
	I mean, was your wife or at that point?
	Karen got in and she was invaluable.
	You got to have somebody there as an advocate.
	You do.
	That's one of my epiphanies.
	You need an agent.
	But if you don't have a relative that can be that agent, they call it a, I don't know, Graith Care.
	Priscilla Graith is a friend of mine.
	I didn't even know what she did, what she offered before, but now I understand how great it is.
	And that is having an advocate that will be there so you can ask, they're trying to shove this at me.
	What's the good and the bad about this?
	And you've got people available to you.
	All that stuff that happened to me happened before she got into the ICU.
	And after she got in, that stopped.
	It really is important that you have somebody there watching out for that.
	Yeah, and they're always trying to push the next thing.
	At one point, I said, Can I get an IV of vitamin C?
	And they said, well, no, we don't do that.
	Insurance won't pay for that.
	I said, I'll pay for it.
	Well, we don't do that because you can just take a vitamin C, but then they wouldn't give me a vitamin C pill.
	You know, I mean, it's like, what is this?
	I couldn't get it.
	Yeah, and the fact is, the vitamin C that they use, even if they did at the hospital, it has to be GMO.
	That's a whole nother subject.
	If you're going to get high-dose vitamin C, don't do it in California because California made a law, David.
	They made a law that you cannot do high-duce, high-dose vitamin C unless it's GMO.
	Really?
	It's got glyphosate in it.
	Yes.
	The medical system is so stacked against us.
	Wow.
	And that's my mission.
	And so each step of the way, what you went through, you went through the exact same thing I did about some other thing.
	And here's the good news, David: that now I know where to send people to to get the proper advice.
	But our system is broken because we don't have an emergency system that takes you, that gives you options.
	The emergency systems lead you right into the MIC.
	Once their clutches are around you, only a strong personality like you, there's no other 95% people probably wouldn't have survived what you did.
	They would have continued keeping you in the MIC for weeks and then got you on stints and this statin and that thing and this.
	And then you just, you're in that cycle of keeping you alive just above dead so they can suck as much money out of you.
	And that's what they're, that's the system.
	That's the system I got into.
	And, you know, and so now I'm looking actively and I'm finding, and God is putting in my path doctors.
	I met a doctor just two days ago in Florida that's that's doing miracles with natural medicine as an MD.
	Another doctor that's doing, that's, that's treating the, he's an MD named Scott Stoll that my son introduced me to, that is treating the 10% most unhealthy people at Whole Foods because he's got a relationship with the CEO.
	They take him away on a retreat and they give him organic food, vitamins, they teach them about breathing, teach them all the things, and they're having miracles happening to these people.
	So everything you've gone through, there's a natural, God-given thing that will help you.
	Chelated minerals is one that I've known about for 50 years that I'm not an expert on by any stretch of the imagination, but that's one of the things that helps clear arteries.
	And vitamin B15, Which helps oxygenate the blood and helps the blood clear out arteries.
	And that's something that my dad offered 50 years ago.
	And we have it as part of our, this is not the sales pitch.
	We have it as part of our prevention bundle because Hans Nieper, Hans Nieper said that B17 apricot seeds are the most, let me just read from the quote from his book: Laetril extracted from apricot pits is one of the most powerful anti-cancer substances found.
	He said it's the most powerful, that he is the one that helped Ronald Reagan wipe out his colon cancer.
	We have all the documented proof of that.
	He helped him wipe it out.
	I'm not going to say cure because Ronald Reagan was afraid he couldn't run for a second term.
	And so he got secret injections of Laitrel in the Oval Office and on a naval vessel off the coast of West Germany from Hans Nieper.
	But Hans Nieper said that it also helped with cardiovascular disease.
	So if there's a nutrient that has been demonized for 50 years by the FDA, by the AMA, by all these organizations that profit from pharmaceuticals, it's B17.
	It's amygdalin.
	I need to do more research on that.
	I still haven't gotten Gedder Griffin's book.
	And if it does, if it helps with cardiovascular stuff, I need to tell you that.
	Well, I'm going to have some good news for you and your loyal audience today about the book.
	I'll finish at the end.
	But I first want to say I've put into the notes if you want to give people links to it or if Travis wants to bring it up on the screen.
	I don't know how you guys do it, but I did the CNBC article about the Hansas.
	And let me just click on it in case if Travis wants to bring it up, we can be.
	Yeah, we got it up on the screen now.
	All right.
	So if you look at that, it's fascinating because this is CNBC, David.
	You know how they like to tell you the truth, but then kind of keep it quiet so that later on when you discover they lied to you, they can say, oh, we told you that in 2024.
	We told you that the people in Hansa live to be 100 years old.
	We did that right there.
	They consume the number one reason, David, that CNBC says, if you look at, if you scroll down, it says they consume apricot seeds and oil.
	Apricot seeds are one of the most important local crops in the valley.
	Studies have shown that apricot seeds can help fight cancer and other sources of inflammation in the body in part due to a compound called amygdalin.
	You know, if I said those exact words on YouTube or Google or any place, they would delete me immediately, David.
	But here it is on CNBC.
	You can click on it.
	NBC gets NBC and CNBC, they get a lot of pharmaceutical money.
	I guess they figured they were safe and the sensors aren't paying attention to them, I guess, right?
	Exactly, because there's probably advertising on this article that advertises some kind of pharmaceutical.
	But there it is.
	They consume apricot seeds and oil, which the reason they consume apricot seeds is because that's their major crop.
	The wealth of the Hansas is developed on how many trees they have.
	And we've known this for 100 years.
	Ed Griffin wrote about it in World Without Cancer.
	And there you go.
	So I also linked to our prevention bundle, and I also linked to our oil.
	So I don't shy away from the fact, David, that people should be on the prevention bundle.
	It's the click, the fourth click, and they just use the night discount.
	They can get a discount.
	Down to $1 a day.
	Is that too much to have the peace of mind that the Hunzas had?
	The prevention bundle is available.
	It's the fourth link that I gave to Travis.
	But I also linked the link to the most recent study by NIH about how, and he can click on that.
	It says the protective and chemotherapeutical role of amygdalin in induced mammary cancer in experimental mice and upregulation of related genes.
	Right there in plain sight, they say that amygdalin kills cancer cells on the NIH.
	And David, if we put that on NBC News, they would cut us off immediately.
	But that's right there with our National Institute of Health.
	So what do you think is going on with RFK Jr.?
	I mean, I'm getting such mixed signals from him about things.
	He talks about the importance of food and many other things like that.
	And yet, you know, they authorize and they pull back some of the authorization for the mRNA vaccines.
	How do you read that?
	Well, I mean, David, like always, we have those that tell us the truth, and then we have those that lie to us to make us hate the people that we shouldn't hate.
	RFK Jr. was on vacation.
	I know what I'm about to tell you because I meet every two weeks with the Maha Action, whatever.
	It's called the Maha Action Media Hub, where they're having us be the mockingbird media of the truth.
	Now, there's not anybody on this platform that will lie for administration, so not me included.
	But they told us he was on vacation.
	These two plants allowed these mRNA vaccines to be approved.
	He not only fired them, he repealed that.
	Then he came out and said that we've pulled all the $500 million of funding from all mRNA vaccines.
	That is a win, David.
	That's a huge win.
	And so, you know, I will defend RFK Jr., although I don't know him personally.
	I've never had any meetings with him.
	I try to dig down into what he's doing.
	He's got a tremendously difficult job.
	I've been doing this for 30 years.
	Let me ask you, why do you think they're reluctant to ban the Trump shot?
	I mean, we saw this first.
	There was, you know, the Trump shot, the warp speed so-called vaccine, the mRNA COVID shots.
	We went to Florida, you know, DeSantis and Latipo there stopped recommending it first for one class of people, then they broadened it.
	Then they said, no, we don't want to have that here at all.
	So they did it in a gradual process like that.
	And I guess the question is, you know, it seems like RFK Jr. has been avoiding that.
	I don't know if it's because it's a pet project of Trump or what the issue is.
	But what we're doing is let me explain it.
	A brilliant guy like you can get it.
	And I mean this sincerely, that the deep state is far deeper than even you or I believe.
	I mean, you know what I'm saying?
	I've been doing this my whole life.
	I was born in the John Birch Society.
	Robert Welch used to have meetings at my house as a kid.
	G. A. R. Griffin fed me.
	G.R. Griffin still thinks of me as a five-year-old running around his house and he has to watch out that I don't tip something over.
	I've known, I've been in this industry that long.
	I've been in this industry, this truth movement that long.
	My uncle was a member of the Bohemian Club, and you know all the stories about that.
	Oh, yeah.
	The deep state is about 3,000 people that are in there right now that are kind of undercover.
	So for example, we get RFK that says fluoride should be banned from all drinking, but the attorney general, Pam Bondi, pushes that aside because her last job was with one of the legal law firms that promotes chemical, poisonous chemicals.
	So you would think that she would, you know, there's so much proof about how poisonous fluoride is, but yet it's.
	Yeah, her Department of Justice is appealing the decision that said, you know, take it out.
	And she decides to just say we're going to walk away from this, and it's a big win.
	But no, she's going to continue to pursue that.
	Yeah, what in the heck?
	I've hung out with Cash Patel.
	He was in my hotel room.
	I talked to him.
	I thought I knew who he was, but he's now in there and he's being his, I find it, we find out his pilot is a deep stater that was against all the J6 guys that he didn't know for eight months.
	It's just so deep.
	It's so deep that it's, and I'm not saying we're going to fix it, David.
	I'm not saying we're going to fix it.
	But I'm telling you, the grassroots is stronger today than it's ever been in my lifetime.
	I can point to that.
	Things are happening on the grassroots level.
	We're saying we don't want to wait for them to tell us it's okay from the top.
	There's not a single person I know in Arizona that I bump into and all these Maha movement things will ever take another vaccine or some pandemic thing.
	The general public in Minnesota might still be 60% or 70% will follow what the deep state tells them about a vaccine.
	But the people in the know, the people that have woken up in states like Arizona, where one of our Andy Biggs, I hung out with his wife at a meeting.
	If they know the truth, Andy Biggs is now running for Senate.
	He's one of our congressmen out here.
	The movement is happening from the ground up, David, more than ever.
	And once you see the deception that's there, you'll never unsee it, and you'll never trust them again.
	That's the key thing.
	If you can get through to them on one issue, and that's the hopefulness about this, is that this Epstein documents and stuff, maybe that'll be the thing that'll wake people up.
	And then it'll just be a cascading thing.
	They say, well, he lied to me about this.
	Maybe he's lying to me about this other thing.
	Most likely he is.
	And it's very true.
	So that's what my hope is.
	I'm not a, I'm no, you know, oh, there's a savior up there.
	I'm not one of those guys.
	I'm not, you know, there's people that I have friends that, you know, still think there's some plan, you know, whatever.
	I've lived this for 60 years and there's good and there's evil.
	And today, 2,000 people will die of cancer, David, needlessly.
	That's right.
	Needlessly, because we've been lied to about everything.
	And even my own compatriots, even people that will consider me a friend, don't really understand how deep the cancer lie is, how deep it really is.
	But we saw it in live time with COVID, so we get it.
	We get that they lie to us about ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine.
	And the average sheeple knows that at least they got to look at ivermectin, or at least they got to look at vitamin D. And the average, you know, Gary Brecca, who's out there being famous from teaching people about health, may not believe me about apricot seeds yet, but he does believe that ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine and these other things.
	And some of these movie stars are coming out and going on Tucker Carlson and saying the truth that David, you and I would have said five years ago.
	They're saying it and they're getting away with saying it.
	Whereas we were tinfoil hat conspiracy theorists now and general public is waking up to it.
	And of course, there's also the PCR quote-unquote test, the procedure that they have.
	You said earlier that you are glad that you didn't get the other CAT scan.
	Was there something in particular that you learned about CAT scans that you'd warn people about?
	Well, yeah, CAT scans are just, they stick poison in you and then they radiate you.
	And so it really, we as Americans have been taught, let's figure out what it is and then cut it out.
	That's our whole medical system.
	That's right.
	So all the tests, Mamry, they've proven that mammograms are cancer causing.
	You know, I could go a whole show with you about Dr. Harold Manner, who said in 1978 that breast cancer and mastectomies should be a thing of the past.
	This amazing doctor that had 50 published articles and six textbooks said that in 1978.
	He proved it beyond a shadow of a doubt that breast cancer is just a deficiency of B17, vitamin A, and pancreatic enzymes, and that he had 100% good results with not only the laboratory mice that were bred to grow breast cancers, but the 15 women that were sent home to die.
	And he was fired after 30 years at Loyola.
	That is a tragedy that my dad went through the same as he did.
	And Harold Manner, his life ended in October of 1988, the same month that my dad died.
	So I could tell this story and people would go, oh, is that real?
	Is he telling the truth?
	I didn't know about Harold Manner until less than nine months ago.
	And David, it's been proven by like thousands of studies and tens of thousands of case histories and current case histories about B17 Eleatriel.
	But people that are listening to you that know you only tell the truth, they're still going to think this John Richardson guy, he's just crazy.
	And there's no way an apricot seed could prevent my grandmother from dying of breast cancer.
	There's no way B17 could help somebody not ever get cancer in the First place, even though it's been proven, David, beyond a shadow of a doubt.
	And G.R. Griffin, 94 years old, will tell you, if you ask him point blank, do you know anybody that's ever died of cancer that regularly eats amygdalin or B17?
	And he'll tell you, no, I don't know anybody.
	And I just had, I was just with him three weeks ago in Tennessee, or it was, gosh, I've been so many places.
	Where was it?
	No, I was in Tulsa, Oklahoma with G.R. Griffin for the most recent Red Pill Expo.
	And Ed's 94, still speaking.
	Well, I know somebody who took apricot seeds when he was diagnosed with cancer and he got over the cancer.
	And I said to this doctor who is not a cardiovascular doctor, but it was, I can't remember what her title was, but basically she works on arteries.
	And so she was pushing me with this stuff.
	She told me several times about, I kept pushing back against statins, and she wanted to sell me the Framingham study.
	And I said, look, I'm not interested in studies.
	I'm much more interested in anecdotes, quite frankly, because I know that studies can be manipulated to hide certain things and to escalate other things.
	And I would like to know from people.
	So it has actually more weight with me to get somebody's anecdotal experience with a particular substance or what they have done in treatment.
	I just don't really care about studies anymore.
	Well, I agree with that.
	I agree with that completely.
	Even though I show an NIH study about amygdala, it's more to help the normies.
	Because I want to give you, I gave you a list of just the doctors I have personally vetted or the clinics I've personally vetted.
	It says, it's the third link I sent to you.
	You can share with the audience.
	These are all doctors I've personally talked to that are working with natural path or integrative at least.
	Natural, there's all sorts of other lists.
	Gold Care has a list of doctors.
	So I'm searching to get people in touch with doctors that are actually telling the truth and not just doing what they've been trained.
	I've had tearful doctors say, John, I've had to relearn 20 years of what I was lied to about to now know the truth.
	And all this stuff with COVID helped them wake up.
	And so Dr. Avery Jackson, who's a neurosurgeon, is opening a medical school in North Carolina that's going to teach people 80% natural God-given answers and 20% allopathic.
	One of the richest women in the world, Walton, just opened a medical school in Bentonville, Arkansas, where they're teaching 70% of the education will be about lifestyle, eating properly, all the things that these MDs will graduate in four years, David, and they'll know the truth.
	And so it is actually happening.
	But in the meantime, we have to be our own.
	We don't know the resources because we've been lied to so long.
	So we have to be our own best defender.
	So you've got to.
	Yeah, I have a friend.
	I have a friend from Austin, Mark Hall, who does documentaries.
	And right now he's working on a documentary on stem cells.
	And he's going to be going to Japan to interview people there because in Japan, they have a different model.
	They look at it and they say the government says, okay, if you can demonstrate that this doesn't harm people, go ahead and do it.
	We'll let you go ahead and do a study on this and we won't restrict the use of that.
	And then, you know, so first step is you show that does no harm, which ought to be the very first thing in all of our medicine.
	First, do no harm.
	That used to be the medical community's ethics.
	And if that's the case, then give it a try and show us your data to show if it was effective or not.
	Now, that's a very rational approach.
	And frankly, that was the approach that I took after these strokes.
	I looked at this stuff and it's like, okay, well, if that's not harmful, I'll try it.
	And so, and we did find that things like red light helped a great deal.
	I think it helped a great deal with my tongue.
	Absolutely.
	No question, the studies are proven.
	But again, we don't want to do studies.
	But the actual results of what I know for.
	David, I literally talk to doctors that are having 100% results with diabetes if people follow their treatment Plan.
	100%.
	Wow.
	Okay.
	So they can't advertise that.
	This doctor I talked to, he's on the list of organizations that I sent you.
	He's saying, John, I'm having such incredible results.
	I don't even advertise.
	I'm an MD that I don't even put my name out there.
	I just, I have 24 staff members and I can barely contain and I don't advertise.
	Wow.
	I said, can you do phone consultations?
	He says, yeah, John, I'll do phone consultations.
	But every time I refer a new doctor that I trust, you get six months out.
	I start referring somebody, people to him and they go, oh, well, Dr. I'm not going to name a name.
	Dr. such and such is a great doctor, but I can't see him.
	He won't see me for two months.
	The medical industrial complex wants you to start chemotherapy within 24 hours of giving you a diagnosis of cancer, David.
	They don't want you to wait.
	So they suck you in.
	And every one of these doctors say, I am so much more successful with someone that hasn't been, had their immune system destroyed with chemo and radiation and surgery.
	My success rates are approaching 95% for people, you know, or higher.
	And of course, I'm not going to give you, there's a hospital here, a medical system here in Arizona, and I can say their name, but the founder of the hospital says they're having 3,500 times better results with cancer than a normal oncology department at a normal hospital.
	Meaning, I don't even know how they get to a statistic like that, but they're publishing that, and they're called NVIDA.
	Now, I'm not related to NVIDIA or have any, you know, I know this.
	They're kind of a transition between a half a million dollar cancer therapy that cuts you, burns you, and poisons you for colon cancer and $125,000 therapy through NVIDIA that's all cash.
	It's all going to be paid out of your pocket.
	So the system is still not be like it should be.
	It's all driven by insurance.
	I mean, Karen, my wife, injured her ankle, broke her ankle, but she also injured her knee in the same fall.
	And they focused on the ankle because they could see that it was broken, but there was a lot of damage in her knee, and they wouldn't take a look at the knee because they had to get special approval for the insurance, and it got worse and worse and worse until finally it swells up and a lot of fluid.
	Then they'll open up another ticket on it.
	But it's all driven by insurance.
	And that's the key thing.
	And that is changing, believe it or not.
	You're not going to hear for a while.
	And in the health world or even in the political world, we look at all these things and we decide, hey, the most important thing should be this.
	On a given day, David, I don't even know what the most important thing is anymore.
	Like, is it the stuff they're spraying on us?
	Is it the fact that our food has no nutrition in it?
	Isn't the fact that they put poisons in all our processed food that's not in any other country?
	Is it the fact we've been lied to about natural God-given answers?
	I love the above.
	And so it's a lot of work.
	And the good news is, guys that we would have never politically agreed with, like Russell Brand or, you know, or some of these other guys, you know, even Joe Rogan or some of these people are making a difference for the normies.
	They're waking them up because again, my dad didn't believe my dad was a hero of the liberal left because the hippies loved the fact that he was using natural treatments, even though he ran for Congress under God, family, and country.
	They loved him in the 70s because he was telling people the truth about nutrition.
	And nobody ate organic food in the 70s unless you're a hippie.
	Now, we're knowing the truth that organic food is the best way to get the health and nutrition we need.
	So there is a lot happening, but it's never fast enough.
	And all of us, or such a time as this, need to be working hard because it may switch completely in two years or four years.
	It may switch.
	Well, that's what I want to do.
	I want to give people an idea of where they can find help to identify problems that are out there.
	And certainly, one of the biggest problems that are out there, and I think that is the only silver lining that came out of the 2020 thing, is that people became skeptical of the medical community and its motivations and these treatments and that type of thing.
	Even if they're not skeptical of the politician who ran it, you know, they at least are skeptical of the product that's out there.
	So there's still this double think that is Going on, but it's opened their eyes to a lot of things like that.
	And I think it's very key that we pass the word along as to where we can find help.
	We need to keep the communication lines open to each other so that we can take control of our own life.
	And, you know, they don't want us to have informed consent, but we can still not give consent to this system that is out to victimize us.
	So I was saying before, you know, look at insurance.
	It's so strange that insurance would be driven to the most expensive treatments rather than the cheaper treatments that are out there, isn't it?
	It's really, a lot of this is very counterintuitive as to why they're not.
	It's just a cycle.
	The pharmaceutical companies own the insurance companies, so it just supports the same system.
	People always go, well, if it's paying for it, how do they make profit?
	Because they keep the dollars that are spent so high that the only way you can get those treatments is to have these insurances, which then in turn support this whole system.
	And we're paying higher costs for pharmaceuticals than any other country in the world.
	How does that make sense if the insurance companies are owned by the pharmaceutical company?
	Because they keep that locked circle that everybody's on the dole.
	Everybody's on the dole in this trillion-dollar cancer industry.
	So the truth about things like Laotriol or ozone therapy or even high-dose vitamin C or any of these natural, cheap, effective things will never be covered by insurance when it's locked in this system that the government owns the patents.
	And, you know, so we are going to have to see the system crumble, and I'm watching it crumble real time.
	So I did send you another link to something that was put out by the truth about cancer folks, Ty and Charlene Bollinger.
	That just, I don't even, I didn't even know they were putting it out.
	And it's all about the truth about, you know, B17 and Laotriol and how the medical mafia buried a cheap natural cancer remedy.
	It seems like that's all I want to talk about.
	But that's my lane, David.
	That's my name.
	Well, that's key.
	That's the second leading cause of death.
	And I think it's, well, of course, the vaccine also upped the number one cause, which is heart disease.
	So it stepped them both up to a new level, I guess.
	I was going to say, maybe cancer.
	Destroy our immune system.
	Yeah, exactly.
	Destroy your immune system.
	Well, I'm very interested to take a look at what you sent.
	We'll cover it here on the show.
	And if you've got anything about rheumatoid arthritis and natural remedies that work with that, I'd be very interested in hearing with that.
	My son Travis suffers with that quite a bit.
	So we've been trying a lot of different things to see if we can find something that works.
	And so far, have not been able to do so.
	So if you've got anything like that, I'd be very interested.
	And I'll pass that along to the audience too.
	What was that again?
	I want to have my assistant write that down.
	Rheumatoid arthritis.
	Rheumatoid arthritis.
	Okay.
	I will get back to you, I promise, my best resource.
	Not that I'm an expert, but I'll give you that best resource.
	Because, like I said, I'm running in these circles with doctors that are just, the results speak for themselves, but they're still kind of underground.
	But we are in a transition phase.
	We are in a transition phase where I'm watching people open clinics that are helping people all over, and we're trying to add them as we go.
	The last thing I want to say, David, is that I offered before about the World Without Cancer book.
	Get your free PDF of the World Without Cancer sent to your email today.
	Everybody watching, they can have it before the end of this podcast.
	It's at myworldwithoutcancer.com.
	Just the word MY with the title of the book.
	You should be able to remember it.
	And everybody can tell all their friends.
	Because with this information, David, we can take the next step to them never being able to lie to us again.
	Once people read this book, which Ed Griffin says they've never found one fact that they could prove he was wrong in, not one, in 50 years.
	You can get the copy of the book at myworldwithoutcancer.com, and it's free.
	There's no strings attached.
	All we do is put you on our mailing list.
	And what does that mean?
	You get updated information about all sorts of things.
	And so Ed's gladly doing this.
	He knows that people need this information.
	And people will buy the copy of the book sometimes as well.
	So it also supports Ed.
	But it's a free copy that anybody can get.
	You don't need to have any excuse.
	Oh, it's too expensive.
	I can't afford it.
	It's not covered by insurance.
	It's free.
	MyworldWithoutCancer.com.

	The common man.

	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.
