As the clock strikes 13, it's Thursday, the 10th of August, Year of Our Lord 2023. Well, today we're going to begin with the increasing authoritarianism today. An amazing story coming out of Oklahoma. Sent to me by a listener who doesn't live too far away from this particular incident. Unbelievable what the ATF is doing to people who, as they sometimes refer to them as kitchen table FFLs, a guy who is selling firearms in a very small town of 150 people, a Baptist
Starting point is 00:02:03 preacher who wasn't doing anything wrong. Very arrogantly said, we're going to shut down the gun shows. One way or the other. Yeah, the law doesn't mean much anymore, does it? And of course, we also have a story, DARPA funded AI to detect violations of social norms. Yeah, they're going to be looking at everything, aren't they? We'll be right back. Stay with us. This is sent to me by Greg. He says, David, this happened about 30 miles from me here in southeastern Oklahoma. They took all of his guns, no warrant, and so far no charges filed.
Starting point is 00:03:00 They did it Trump style. Take the gun and do the due process later. Maybe, Maybe. This is an article from The Truth About Guns. They're the ones who broke this story. And it is about two weeks old. I guess about three weeks old now. But I've not seen this anywhere else before. And as I point out, the person involved here, Russell Fitcher, a high school history teacher, a Baptist pastor.
Starting point is 00:03:31 The teaching school is where he makes his money, and that was one of the things I had as leverage over him. A part-time gun dealer, he also coaches Little League in his hometown of Tuscahoma, Oklahoma, which has a population of about 151 people. He's 52 years old. He had a federal firearms license for three years. He's had no brick and mortar gun shop. He's what used to be called a kitchen table FFL. He sells his firearms at gun shows, including one in Tulsa. He said, living in southeast Oklahoma, if you don't have a gun under $400, people aren't going to buy it, he said.
Starting point is 00:04:10 Rarely do people come to my house to buy a gun. In April, he received a call from the BATF. They wanted to do an inspection. He said, yeah, you're welcome anytime. What have I got to hide? We don't live in Nazi Germany, do we? Well, guess what, Toto? We're not in Kansas anymore.
Starting point is 00:04:33 And guess what? Even Oklahoma's not okay. Two ATF inspectors arrived a few days later. They spent three hours in his home. They took pictures of the forms that they fill out when they sell guns, the 4473s. They took pictures of those forms with their cell phones, which he found out later is illegal, although it's their common practice. Remember, they went through with a combined raid of the BATF and the IRS and confiscated records and federal firearm records which they're not
Starting point is 00:05:08 supposed to take in one other instance honestly he said they're way nicer than i expected they said i had some guns that had traces on them which concerned them and it concerned me too the inspectors returned two weeks later they said they had some concerns involving his penmanship his handwriting which they couldn't read on a couple of forms they also found that he had juxtaposed the model number of a firearm with the weapons serial number which fincher was attempting to rectify on june the 16, he and his son were packing up for a gun show in Tulsa when the phone rang
Starting point is 00:05:47 and it was the ATF. They said they wanted to talk to him before he left for the gun show. We can come to your house, they said. I told them, sure, I'll be home. Seven vehicles roared into his driveway.
Starting point is 00:05:58 It was a SWAT raid and a dozen ATF agents wearing tactical gear and armed with AR-15s. They're supposed to have the AR-15s. You're not supposed to have them, right? It's a militarized weapon. Okay. So, um, is our government going to war with us?
Starting point is 00:06:19 Well, we've got, uh, the planes, we got the bombs said, uh, how many people we had? Eric Swalwell. We had Beto O'Rourke, we had Biden himself, talking about how they'll use the military against us. And of course, that also includes militarized police force. If you look at our police force in terms of its number, we have a police force that's bigger than any other military, at least a couple of years ago. I don't know what's going on with China lately. By the time it was bigger than any other military other than our own military.
Starting point is 00:06:50 We literally have a standing army that is standing on us, standing on our throats, the boot in our face. That's the future that Orwell talked about. It was like the Trump raid, he said. He means the raid where they went to Mar-a-Lago. No, this is like the Trump raid, as Greg pointed out, where they take the guns and they do the due process later. They called me out onto my deck and they handcuffed me. My son was there and saw the whole thing. He's 13 years old. They held me on the porch for about an hour. I was surrounded by agents. One by one, they yelled at me about what I was doing. They can turn being bad cops, tough guys. In my mind, I decided that they were going to beat me up over every little thing I've done. As soon as I said, look, if you want my FFL, you can have it.
Starting point is 00:07:45 As soon as he said that, one of the agents pulled out a piece of paper and said, well, then sign here. I mean, this is straight out of Brazil. Terry Gilliam's take on, satirical take on 1984. It's just crazy. Just crazy. That was so over the top when he did it in 1984, but now it's exactly where we are. Here's my receipt for your receipt, all the rest of the stuff. Well, then sign here. And he had three copies in case I screwed up. That's what they wanted. Going to browbeat him into signing away, intimidate him into signing away his license to deal firearms. It was exactly what they wanted and I was shocked, he said. As soon as he relinquished his federal firearms license, the ATF began loading up his guns then, including a Colt Commander, five Glocks, and a Mint AK, a Polytech pre-banned milled
Starting point is 00:08:42 underfolder which is worth thousands of dollars. They took more than 50 of my guns, he said, and I asked them why. They said they were quote-unquote evidence. I'd estimate that they took $50,000 to $60,000 worth of guns. Well, here's the problem, you know. Again, we need to understand the times that we live in and the biggest mistake that people make. It's the same mistake they make as I've said over and over again.
Starting point is 00:09:07 We don't understand who these people are. We don't understand what they're capable of. And, of course, we also don't understand the power of their technology either. Those are our big mistakes as people. We look at the world from our perspective. And just as I've said over and over again, you know, Ted Bundy, rapist, serial killer, very charming, very intelligent. You know, he would work his way in with these women.
Starting point is 00:09:32 They couldn't imagine that he would be like that at all. And so because we can't imagine what these terrorists are like, you know, we still think this is the picture of government that was presented to us when we were children. Well, we need to grow up. We need to understand these people don't mean well. We need to understand that when somebody calls you from the government, say, well, I don't have anything to say, Fifth Amendment.
Starting point is 00:10:00 You want to continue this discussion, I'll hire a lawyer, or you can talk to my lawyer if you've already got one uh people who haven't done anything wrong still have something to fear from this government just understand that same mistake that people make when they're dealing with child protective services so-called well i've got nothing to hide there's nothing going on at home well they'll snoop around. They'll invent stuff. They'll, you know, the FBI will plant evidence. The FBI will try to trip you up and get you on a contradictory statement,
Starting point is 00:10:36 charge you with lying to them, which is a very serious crime. More serious in many cases than what they're questioning you about. Happiness. We all know what it feels like. but sometimes it doesn't come easy. I'm Garvey Bailey, the host of Happy Enough, a new podcast from The Globe and Mail about our pursuit of happiness. We know people want to live more fulfilling and positive lives, but how do we actually do that? Is there a happiness code to crack? From our relationship with technology to whether money can really buy you happiness, we'll hear from both real people and experts to demystify this thing we're all searching for and hopefully find ways to be happy enough. You can find Happy Enough wherever you listen to podcasts.
Starting point is 00:11:30 So they're not your friends. You have to understand, you know, just take a look. You know, the Apostle Paul demanded that he be given due process by the Romans. Another time, he and friends of his, accomplices, the Roman government would say, lowered him over a wall in a basket to escape the authorities. We don't fear these people. We don't have to lie to them. But let's have a little bit of discernment about what's going on here.
Starting point is 00:11:59 Let's understand who we're dealing with. As I said, we are not in Kansas anymore. And so in this article, they say the SWAT team cleared his home and then they called in the agent in charge of the raid. Special agent Theodore Mongle. Yeah, he's been raided by the Mongles. M-O-N-G-E-L-L. Not Frankenstein. Frankenstein.
Starting point is 00:12:28 Yeah, he's a mongrel. Anyway, told him that it was, quote, safe to come up. You're done. We have to shut you down. I'm sure recalls him saying, you tell all your FFL buddies that we're coming for them. We're shutting the gun shows down. You see, if they can't pass the legislation, they've tried over and over again to pass legislation to shut down gun shows.
Starting point is 00:12:52 And it's failed. And so they'll just do it through the regulatory state. They'll just do it through executive orders through the deep state that's under the president. You know, the same ones that when Trump said, we're going to ban bump stocks. They said, okay, we can do that. We can do it by executive's under the president, the same ones that when Trump said, we're going to ban bump stocks, they said, okay, we can do that. We can do it by executive order by the president.
Starting point is 00:13:09 So he set that precedent. And this guy reminds me very much of this out-of-control BLM agent, Dan Love, who was in charge of the Bundy Ranch raid. And there was another BLM special agent in charge of the neighboring state, Arizona, who called out Dan Love and said there was absolutely no reason for him to do what he did.
Starting point is 00:13:35 He escalated this into a very dangerous situation. They could have gotten people killed on both sides. But these guys get on a power trip. They get high from this stuff they love it one agent told me they hate home ffls he said if i wanted to sell a browning shotgun to somebody to gun show with no paperwork that's no problem but when i sell a glock or an ar lower that's a gang banger ask him where it said in that in the regs. He said no gangbanger would be shooting people with a $2,000 Benelli. To me, that was one of the dumbest statements he could have made.
Starting point is 00:14:13 So several agents accused him of making too much money through his gun show sales. He told them the last show that he attended, he only sold $75 worth of ammunition, but he spent $1,200 on hotels, tables, gas, and food. They said I was basically using my FFL to sell guns personally. They said I was going around the system. I was putting guns on the street that should not be on the street. So towards the end of the ordeal, he asked the raiding Mongol about his guns that they had seized. And he told me, well, if you're willing to forfeit them, we can make a lot of this stuff go away.
Starting point is 00:14:52 Oh, well, you know, we'll steal your guns. Or if you want to fight us, we're going to make it real here. Where have we heard this story before? We've heard this being done over and over and over again by cops who pull people over on the road steal their money steal their possessions steal their car and say well you know um uh just sign here and forfeit it or we can make it really difficult for you okay this kind of shakedown this kind of corrupt training of our quote-unquote law enforcement officers into being highway robbers has been going on for a long time.
Starting point is 00:15:31 And guess what? Conservatives have had no problem with that. They don't care. Yeah, it's the whole drug thing. I hate drugs. Let's have a drug war. It doesn't matter that prohibition has failed for 50 years. It doesn't matter that it's corrupted the cops.
Starting point is 00:15:43 It's turned them into highway, literal highway robbers. As I point out in San Bernardino County, you had the sheriff's department there, robbed a armored truck on three different occasions. The armored truck was carrying cash from a marijuana dispensary legally operating in California, protected by California law. But they said, well, marijuana has not California, protected by California law. But they said, well, marijuana has not been legalized by the federal government. So the federal government will work with us. If we confiscate the cash, they'll give us the legal cover and they'll give us most of the money. We can kick like, you know, percentage back to them, but we get to keep most
Starting point is 00:16:18 of the money. So they were literally pulling over an armored car and robbing them. We've turned the cops with this prohibition stuff, they've turned into criminals. And as I said many times, what do you think is going to happen when they prohibit firearms? Well, we've seen what happened with alcohol prohibition. We saw what happened with the drugs. Not only do you get the organized crime
Starting point is 00:16:41 and the corruption of government to a greater extent even than it is now, but you get more intense forms of whatever it is that you are trying to regulate. People stopped drinking beer and wine and went to hard liquor. Why? Because the criminals who were doing it could make more money doing something's more concentrated. We look at the war on drugs and what have we got?
Starting point is 00:17:00 You know, they have created really, really strong versions of marijuana and other things. We wind up going to fentanyl and other stuff like that. There's always going to be some more potent drug down the road. And the same thing is going to happen with guns. Guns are going to become unbelievable in terms of the violence that's on our street. You may want to think about that. When somebody does drugs and they overdose, unless they're operating a vehicle
Starting point is 00:17:30 or something and drive into your car, it doesn't have that much effect. But you wait until gun prohibition creates unbelievably lethal weapons that then go into the hands of, guess who? The organized criminals. What do you think the streets of Chicago or the hands of, guess who? The organized criminals. What do you think the streets of Chicago or the streets of your small town are going to look like when that happens? And then it'll be more rationale to ban more guns, right? Because that's the same thing they've done with a war on drugs for 50 years.
Starting point is 00:18:01 And so because conservatives have turned a blind eye to our government operating as thieves for decades with civil asset forfeiture. And again, that goes back for 30 years and a little bit more than that, actually. I'll never, I'll never forget when Megan Kelly came to, you know,
Starting point is 00:18:20 set up Alex Jones and she wanted to interview all of us who had shows and stuff. And so I talked to her. They didn't use anything from my interview. But we're talking, and I mentioned civil asset forfeiture. And she had no idea what that was. No idea. Deer in the headlight.
Starting point is 00:18:42 It's been going on for decades, Megan. You're a reporter. They pay you $20 million. What do you do? Oh, you read what they write for you on TV. So, yeah, these civil asset forfeiture abuses, they don't care because they're like drugs. And so we let that happen. There was a documentary somebody did about a decade ago, and it was guns and drugs the path to freedom because the left has used the marijuana issue to nullify federal prohibitions very effective we need to do the same thing with
Starting point is 00:19:16 guns furthermore we need to stop letting people like trump and biden divide us and we need to start fighting for our freedom so the left and the right need to come together and say, we're going to fight for our freedom and you're not going to prohibit guns and you're not going to prohibit drugs. And the left can say, I hate guns. And the right can say, I hate drugs, but you're not going to prohibit them. Because A, you don't have the authority. You had to have a constitutional amendment to prohibit alcohol.
Starting point is 00:19:43 And you brought another one back. You had the 18th amendment, 21st amendment to prohibit it and to bring it back so you obviously don't have the authority to prohibit anything any drugs any guns as a matter of fact when it comes to guns you were specifically prohibited from even infringing on our god-given rights to keep and bear them. That's even clearer. But everybody in the country understood there was no authority to prohibit alcohol. Everybody did. And so they went through this whole process of creating a constitutional amendment.
Starting point is 00:20:20 We don't have to have the opinion of some Supreme Court justices who are constantly changing their opinion. Everybody in the country, everybody, whether they were for alcohol prohibition or against it, they all understood that they needed to have a constitutional amendment. Every state legislature, every person, and all the courts understood that was necessary. And now we pretend it's not. Now we pretend that we can do this under the Commerce Clause. Well, guess what? The Commerce Clause is always there. Commerce Clause was always there. Commerce Clause was there before we amended the Constitution with the Bill of Rights, even. Maybe that's one of
Starting point is 00:20:54 the reasons why Madison insisted on the Bill of Rights, just to make sure they understood that arguments about the general welfare, arguments about the Commerce Clause, or any of these other specious prevarications were going to be covered by the blanket prohibition of federal usurpation and concentration by the 10th Amendment. And also the 9 amendment essentially uh anyway second amendment foundation's investigative journalism project contacted special agent theodore mongol on his cell phone and asked him why he raided fitcher's home and seized his guns and of course he's not going to say anything you know the other thing too about, not only have they not cared or remained ignorant, but if you tell them, they don't really care.
Starting point is 00:21:51 Oh, yeah, well, that has to do with drugs. Well, in a lot of cases, it doesn't have anything to do with drugs. They use that as an excuse to confiscate property from people who don't have drugs. The people are never charged with a crime. If the people had drugs, if the people were doing something with drugs, they would be charged. They don't charge them. They take the stuff and they don't ever do the due process.
Starting point is 00:22:12 They never even charge them. They just confiscate their home or their car or their cash or whatever. And of course, the conservatives have also excused Trump's contempt for the Second Amendment when he did gun control by executive order. No other president had done it. Not even Obama did that. And then when he shows contempt for due process with the red flag stuff,
Starting point is 00:22:39 they excuse it because it's Trump. After cuffing and berating him for more than an hour, the agents never even told Fitcher if or when he would be charged with a crime. This is civil asset forfeiture. He fears he would lose his teaching job if charged with a felony. So he's going along with him. That's where he makes his money. He's a pastor, but it's a town that's only got 150 people in it. And so he makes his money as a teacher. And if they can find anything to get him out, I'm sure they would do it. He said, they have my life in the palm of their hands and they have very little accountability. I'm just trying to make a living and it takes three jobs
Starting point is 00:23:17 just to make ends meet. So he had working as a teacher, working as a pastor, selling farms, trying to make ends meet. Well, they just took one of those away. And if he makes an issue out of it, he'll lose the other one, which is probably the biggest one, his teaching gig. Dealing as little as I have with the ATF, when you ask them a specific question, they'll tell you it's a gray area. Well, a gray area can send you to jail. I'm not Hunter Biden. I'm not going to get any weapon charges dropped.
Starting point is 00:23:55 Yeah, we all know there's a different standard. In Seattle, Jason Rance, who has a radio show there in Seattle, had an interview with a police officer who just resigned. and she was fed up with what was happening there. And, uh, so she called him because, um, you know, they have a, like an exit form where you sign and talk about some things. And essentially she said, uh, in this exit form, uh, she wrote on there and he's got a copy of it. Um, it's kind of down at the bottom, Travis. What is your reason for leaving? And he put in a picture of what she wrote. She said, you will not be steering the exit interview with this questionnaire. I will. There are 15 typewritten pages, all initialed, attached to this exit interview. It is for public discourse and for transparency. And then another one, for all personnel, who is your new employer? And she writes in all capital letters and
Starting point is 00:24:54 underscores it twice. None of this is your business. And so, you know, she's talking about the situation, the corruption, the political corruption, what it's done to the police. And, of course, we have all seen the effects of this, the defunding of the police and the radical agenda of these politicians who don't care as the city spirals down. They don't care the results of what they're doing. for them for 23 years. And she made sure she didn't leave quietly, providing a rare in-depth look into how the officers view the city and the local lawmakers. She said the toxic mix of Seattle City Council's absurdity, the spinelessness of the mayor, the leniency of the prosecutor's office, and your failed leadership have accelerated the city's downhill slide
Starting point is 00:25:44 straight to rock bottom. The problems are already brewing before you came on the scene. But since your arrival, it's been a free fall into anarchy and chaos. She called out specific Seattle City Council members and others, said their absurd policies have turned Seattle into a playground for anarchists and criminals, and they seem utterly unconcerned with the devastating consequences of their actions. Well, that can describe officials at so many different levels, in so many different places. From cities like Seattle, to states like Washington and Oregon, to the federal government. That's why I say over and over again,
Starting point is 00:26:26 the most important election on the ballot is your local election. Washington, D.C. is gone. How are you going to stop the ATF? You have to stop the ATF by having a good local sheriff. So you better get involved in election and make sure that there's one running and that you support them. Seriously, Trump isn't going to do anything for you. So Biden is going to attack you. There'll be attacks under Trump as well. You're going to stop it just as you did in 2020 or make it worse by the people who are there locally. When we come back, we're going to take a look at the FAA stepping over the line as usual. It's just amazing what has happened in this country.
Starting point is 00:27:12 And of course, they're leading the way in what has happened with airline travel. We'll be right back. The common man. They created common core to dumb down our children. They created common past to track and control us. Their commons project to make sure the commoners own nothing. And the communist future. They see the common man as simple, unsophisticated, ordinary. But each of us has worth and dignity created in the image of God. That is what we have in common. That is what they want to take away. Their most powerful weapons are isolation, deception, intimidation.
Starting point is 00:28:10 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.

Starting point is 00:29:27 earlier have you started uh breaking the show down on bit shoot yet travis uh what is it most likely a problem with bit shoots resubscription on subscribe star they've been having issues with it okay i i can't hear you i don't think the people can hear you either. We had a problem with BitChute in the sense that they changed the file sizes that were there, and we could not get a three-hour show. Most people don't do a three-hour show. We couldn't get it down to where it would fit without compromising the quality so seriously that we're probably going to break it into sections there. But anyway, if you want to go to thedavidknightshow.com, tell you how you can support
Starting point is 00:30:08 the show, how you can find the show. I had a conversation yesterday with a guy who contacted me and wanted to do some advertising, not within the show, but as a separate thing that would go up on our channels. And as we were talking, he realized that he knew me from InfoWars. He heard me at InfoWars. He didn't know I was still doing any of this stuff. That's why it's really important if you can't support us. I understand people are going through financial issues now. If you can't support us, please like the show.
Starting point is 00:30:44 Please pass it around. Please leave good reviews. That type of thing does help a little bit. And not the only way that we can get through this blockade of social media and Google. Google has basically depersoned me. Let's talk a little bit about what is happening with the FAA. They've sent 22 unruly passenger cases to the FBI for possible prosecution. You know, they got nothing to do. There's nothing going on at White House or, you know, with Hunter or anything. So they're looking for some work to do. So, yeah.
Starting point is 00:31:15 Um, and so, you know, how have we gotten to this point? I remember when it was at Eastern airlines, I think used to have the slogan. The Eastern airlines is gone now. And they had a slogan fly the friendly skies. Well, the friendly skies are gone regardless of whether it was Eastern Airlines or some other now defunct airline industry. They've gotten very hostile, hostile on both sides. You have the TSA pushing and prodding people, harassing people needlessly. Like I said, our friends who flew to my daughter's wedding in Texas from North Carolina. So they got in there and the lines to go through the TSA were from one end of the airport and back and snaking around on the other end and then coming back. And it was like, oh no, we're going to be, we're going to miss our plane.
Starting point is 00:32:01 TSA said, we've got so many people here today. We're going to just turn off all of the scanning. Just come on through, you know, really busy day. So let's just let everybody come in, which they've done, you know, Thanksgiving day when people were going to boycott their body scanners and their pat downs. Oh, forget it. Just come on through. We won't even harass you today. How about that? We don't harass you. You don't make any noise about this kind of stuff. It's just theater, theater just theater and as they were talking about that we had had a relative at the wedding and said well yeah maybe it's just theater but it makes me feel safer i guess there are people who said that in stalinist russia stasi Germany. It makes them feel safer.
Starting point is 00:32:47 Nazi Germany, whatever. I just love seeing these guys marching down the streets with their uniforms and their arms out. It makes me feel safe. Keep law and order. Trains running on time. Just don't ask where the trains are headed. So they push, they prod, they harass people. And then you get on a plane and these flight attendants are on their little power trip
Starting point is 00:33:06 and they're pushing and they're prodding and they're harassing people. And so people got very upset about this. And they had a big explosion of these types of cases while they were doing the mask stuff. And they even admit it on this mainstream news article. They said, well, first of all, what is happening with these 22 unruly passengers? These are not people who tried to hijack a plane or anything. They just talked back. The total number of cases referred this year is 39. These 22 are just what they've done recently. But so far, we're only halfway through the year.
Starting point is 00:33:46 They referred 39 people for criminal behavior. Unruly behavior poses serious safety concerns, they said. No, not they, but it was Pete Boudiguet. Pete Boudiguet. This is an opportunity for me to flex my Marxist muscles, he said. No. So they said instances of passengers acting out on commercial aircraft have dropped 80% since hitting record highs in early 2021. Why? Because of the masks.
Starting point is 00:34:19 And they even admit that in this. That year, the FAA received nearly 6,000 reports of unruly passengers, but by 2022, that number dropped to fewer than 2,500. Officials reported a sharp drop in onboard conflicts after the federal mask mandate, often a source of tension, was rescinded in April of 2022. See, this is not rocket science as to why people are acting like this. Again, you push, you prod, you harass people. After a while, some people are going to push back. This is not rocket science. This is behavioral science. And so they talk about the fines that people are getting. In 2022,
Starting point is 00:35:02 the agency announced that it would seek a fine of $81,950. Where did they come up with that number? But it's ridiculously absurd in terms of how high it is. From a passenger on board a July 7, 2021 American Airlines flight from Dallas to Charlotte, the agency alleged, didn't prove anything, right? You're guilty. You don't have a presumption of innocence, but you just get the fine. They alleged that a passenger threatened a flight attendant who was trying to help her after she fell into the aisle.
Starting point is 00:35:38 Okay, well, there you go. She then tried to open the cabin door and had to be restrained by two other flight attendants. So, this person's having an issue. I don't know. Did she hurt them or anything? Uh, $82,000 essentially. Yeah. Another $50 to it.
Starting point is 00:35:55 You get an even number. Why'd they, you know, it was like, you know, special discount price or something would take $50 off. So we don't show $82,000. This is an excessive fine. Isn't that protected by the Fourth Amendment? No. No, as a matter of fact, we're going to take the guns and do the due process later. We're going to hit you with a fine, and you can try to get this back later, but you'll have to sue us in order to get that money back. And when you sue us, you'll have to prove that you're innocent because this is a rule, not a law.
Starting point is 00:36:31 See, this is the lie that they operate under. This is kind of prevarication. Well, if it's a rule, then it's a civil fine. And that's what they call it, civil penalties. Individuals can face civil penalties up to $37,000 per violation. So I guess they hit her with multiple violations. Civil penalties. It's just like the civil asset forfeiture.
Starting point is 00:36:53 If it was a law passed by our elected representatives, then they would have to follow the Constitution, they say. But then they pretend that rules that are passed by unelected bureaucrats don't have to follow the constitution. So there's no presumption of innocence. There's no due process. There's no protection against excessive fines. They just add, uh, it's bad enough that we have regulation without representation, but
Starting point is 00:37:20 then they get rid of all of the bill of rights and all of that as well. Uh, it's bad enough that they're operating outside the law, but when they operate outside the law, they say, well, this is civil. There's nothing civil about it, frankly. So this is where we are with the TSA, and as that is happening, there is an op-ed piece that was put out by the Washington Post. The woman's name is Ruth Marcus. And she is just livid.
Starting point is 00:37:50 She doesn't think that the airlines are authoritarian enough. She wants them to do more. And she's very upset about a particular case where you had an employee of the airlines who, in terms of a religious liberty issue, and this is not about the forced injections. This goes back several years. It goes back to 2017. And so in this particular instance, Charlene Carter, a flight attendant for more than 20 years, in 2017, after union members attended the Women's March under a, quote, Southwest Airlines flight attendance banner, unquote, she sent Facebook messages to the union president,
Starting point is 00:38:42 and she sent Facebook messages that contained graphic anti-abortion messages. So she said, what you're doing and what you supported during your paid leave with others at the Women's March in D.C., you're truly despicable in so many different ways. She sent messages with pictures of aborted babies babies one of them had a video of an abortion and um southwest was upset about this yeah it is very upsetting if you see what happens to these babies even these uh pro-abortionists get upset about it because it's very easy for them to say well it's not a baby, it's a fetus. They can imagine what this is, but you confront them with the reality of abortion.
Starting point is 00:39:31 And they, this is horrific, they said. It is horrific. If the video is horrific, what about the actual act? She gets punished for showing them a video of the actual act that they approve of. Why? You understand that? That's not something, of course, that is addressed by this Washington Post reporter. You know, the idea that somebody should be horrified and it would be so offensive that they would fire her, but it's a video of what they were there in Washington to support in the name of the Southwest employees.
Starting point is 00:40:11 She was one of them. She had a right to do that. But Southwest said, you have crossed the boundaries of acceptable behavior. The video crosses the boundaries of acceptable behavior, but the actual act that the video is of, that's acceptable behavior. As a matter of fact, it is something that we should honor and support, and that's why we're in Washington to do that. They said this is inappropriate, it is harassing, and it is offensive.
Starting point is 00:40:39 And so they fired her, and she sued them. Federal job bias law bars employers from discriminating on the basis of religion, said the Washington Post reporter. He really hates that. Carter claimed that she was dismissed because of her sincerely held religious beliefs against abortion. A jury found in her favor, and the Washington Post reporter says, and whoppingly so, it awarded her $5.1
Starting point is 00:41:08 million. Though U.S. District Judge Brantley Starr reduced the amount to $800,000 and the case is being appealed. Now the comments from this Washington Post reporter Ruth Marcus has a problem with this. She said, we've got another extremist Trump judge, the star guy. And actually he's a nephew of Ken star.
Starting point is 00:41:36 Um, yeah, I'll see Trump judges. Well, I wish the Trump judges were like this guy. Unfortunately, you know, we had a newly minted, newly appointed Trump judge here in Tennessee that blocked a Tennessee law that would stop the mutilation of minors for the most absurd reasons. And he was immediately overturned by the appellate court. But yeah, it's a mixed bag. You never know what you're going to get. You know what you're going to get when Democrats appoint judges. You better believe it. But when the Republicans do it, it's a mixed bag. She said, and this person is from Texas, no surprise about that, straight out of The Handmaid's Tale. Is Ruth Marcus, is she a
Starting point is 00:42:21 stereotype? She's trying to say, yeah, this guy's a stereotype. She just showed what a stereotype she is. The judge held lawyers for Southwest Airlines further in addition to them losing the case. They were held in contempt of court for their actions. And the judge ordered them to undergo religious liberty training. That really sent Ruth Marcus over the top. And that's what this whole article is about. The fact these people not only lose, that's bad enough. You ought to be able to fire people who show what abortion is. You know, we don't want to
Starting point is 00:42:55 have that happening. I mean, look at how many times students have been throttled and disciplined and ejected and expelled because they put up a display of an aborted baby or they show videos of it or something. I cannot show that. And not just any instruction, said the judge, but told them that the training had to be conducted by the Alliance Defending Freedom, a conservative group that litigates against same-sex marriage transgender rights and abortion rights oh that really bothered her really bothered ruth uh she said that's the scary part she said um the judge star instructed the airline to quote inform southwest flight attendants that under title 7 southwest may not discriminate against Southwest flight
Starting point is 00:43:45 attendants for their religious practices and beliefs. But instead, they put out a message and said that we have been ordered to inform you that Southwest does not discriminate against our employees for their religious practices and beliefs. And that made Starr angry. Picked off by what he viewed as insubordination, Starr, in an opinion released this week, held Southwest in civil contempt of court,
Starting point is 00:44:12 quote, in the universe in which we live, the one where words mean something, he said, Southwest's notice didn't come close to complying with the court's order. Now, she's very upset about this and about the judge who has, these judges have the authority to, if they're offended about something that you did, they can do all kinds of stuff, right? So think about this and keep this in mind,
Starting point is 00:44:40 and I'll remind you about this. When we get further down the road with these Trump shows, right, all the indictments, showy indictments and all the political persecution stuff, you know, he is doing everything he can, especially over the weekend, you know, and again, I think maybe it's tomorrow that the judge is going to rule on these um, these, you know, this gag order and, um, a protection order and stuff like that over Trump. But he doubled down on his mouthing off on social media because he wants to be hammered this way.
Starting point is 00:45:16 He wants to be a martyr. I, you know, people are starting to lose interest in this. Uh, more than one article I've seen about that is They're asking people, what do you think about this? A lot of people think, I'm really tired of this whole show. I'm sick of his reality TV show. I'm not really paying any attention to it. Well, he's got to do something to juice it up. And so if he can juice it up and he can get this kind of reaction from his judge,
Starting point is 00:45:41 the Southwest got from their judge. And judges do this kind of stuff all the time. Trump knows it. He's going to push this stuff. His judge, the Southwest, got from their judge. And judges do this kind of stuff all the time. Trump knows it. He's going to push this stuff. Anyway, Southwest's speech and actions toward employees demonstrate a chronic failure to understand the role of federal protections for religious freedom, said Starr, the judge. He proceeded to order three Southwest lawyers to undergo eight hours of religious liberty training, a move that he described as the least restrictive means of achieving compliance. Luckily, Starr observed there are esteemed nonprofit organizations dedicated to preserving free speech and religious freedom.
Starting point is 00:46:16 He added a footnote referring to the ADF, the Alliance Defending Freedom, litigation of the masterpiece Cake Shop versus Colorado. He said some of these entities laudably provide training free of charge. So, you know, you may want to go to the ADF to get your stuff, your training that I'm requiring you to take. And so this Washington Post woman, Ruth Marcus, is apoplectic about this. She says, adjectives fail me here. I don't even know what to say. And so then to try to explain how bad the ADF is, she explains the Southern Poverty Law Center has labeled them a hate group.
Starting point is 00:47:00 The Southern Poverty Law Center is a hate group, lady. They are a hateful, lying, disinformation, misinformation, malinformation group. That's how they make money. They're also grifters, and the left has called them that. They said, look at that. They've got hundreds of millions. There's like $300 million several years ago. They've got offshore accounts.
Starting point is 00:47:25 Leftist organizations have said, you know, of all the charities that you can support, Southern Poverty Law Center is one of the worst ones, even though you may think that you agree with what they're doing. They don't, when you make a contribution to them, and that's the way they evaluate charities, you know, what percentage of the money that you give to these charities actually goes to the work that they want to do? They said it's a very, very small percentage. It was only like half or something
Starting point is 00:47:49 like that. It was ridiculous. And so even the left, the informed left, hates the Southern Poverty Law Center, even if they agree with their politics. But she says the SPLC has argued that allowing, I'm sorry, not the SPLC, but this group that she hates, that the Southern Poverty Law Center hates. She says they've argued that allowing, quote, practicing homosexuals, unquote, to serve in the military or to adopt children constitutes a tax on family values, quote, unquote. And they said that it will, quote, ultimately destroy our society, unquote. The ADF's former president co-wrote a book, The Homosexual Agenda,
Starting point is 00:48:33 Exposing the Principal Threat to Religious Freedom Today, unquote, in which he linked homosexuality and pedophilia. Yeah, those would never be linked, you know. Hey, just go look at one of the so-called drag queen story hours they're actually dragon story hours is what they really are he said despite ever-present denials by homosexual activists the links to the link to child sex and homosexual behavior is alarming redefining marriage is ultimately part of the larger effort to redesign society in order to give social approval of homosexual behavior and to empower social acceptance of a forgery of gender and sexual practice at odds with natural law and the faith of millions.
Starting point is 00:49:19 She put all this stuff in there. I mean, to her, that's an indictment. This guy is absolutely right. I'd like to see Ruth Marcus of the Washington Post write a story about my program. Adjectives fail me. Yeah. Southern poverty law center doesn't like me either. Come on, Ruth, do a story about me. Let's bring it on. I really would like to see what you have to say about this program. Uh, and so anyway, um, looks like this guy, even though he's a nephew of Ken Starr, uh, it looks like he's on a better path than Ken Starr who defended, uh, instead of prosecuting Bill Clinton. Again, as I've said many times, all these credible allegations of violent sexual assault and rape. Ignored all that.
Starting point is 00:50:08 Went for a consensual relationship and ignored all the Hunter Biden, Joe Biden-like financial crimes that were there. He went on to defend Jeffrey Epstein. He went on to defend the Baylor football team when they were accused of, I think it was rape, but it was some kind of violent sexual thing. And that got him fired, Ken Starr. But, of course, that didn't keep him off of Fox News. He was on Fox News all the time. So we have artificial intelligence replacing psychics, they say. I've got something to say about that.
Starting point is 00:50:43 We'll say it when we come back. Thank you. Making sense common again. You're listening to the David Knight Show and thank you on Rockfin to Doug Elkins thank you very much for the tip he says thank you David and family some more trickle-down Dougie-nomics and on Rockfin Mr. Goldfold says the two Stockton 711 Gurkhas we talked about yesterday, the Sikhs,
Starting point is 00:52:47 will not be charged. Good. Yeah, that's good. Says, funny, you misidentified their justice stick as a 2x4. Had they used a Jim Duggan-style 2x4, I don't know what that is, that black chap would have been left crippled.
Starting point is 00:53:04 Dave, there was, there was a time that we shot looters on site. When did that approach change? The eighties, uh, armed, uh, rooftop Koreans and the 92 LA riots were heroes. That's right. Yeah. I don't know. Um, I guess today, you know, they would all be prosecuted. And, of course, they did come after, or at least tried to come after, some of them who were doing that in the Ferguson riots. Those were Oath Keepers that went out there and helped. Yeah. So I guess, yeah, they put them in jail.
Starting point is 00:53:40 Let's talk about AI replacing psychics as fortune-telling droids. Putting tarot readers out of work. Now, this is kind of interesting in a number of different ways. We've seen the artificial intelligence stuff hallucinating quite a bit. It may already be taking psycho drugs to hallucinate. It may already be under the influence of demons. Who knows with this stuff? As a matter of fact, it said experts claim that bot fortune tellers
Starting point is 00:54:10 are better than real ones because they can draw on wisdom from a vast database and are unaffected by human motions and preconceptions. Well, you know, demons can do the same thing for some of these so-called psychics they can draw on wisdom from a vast experience and manipulate us in many different ways sometimes maybe through the mouths of these types of people experts claim they're better because they're unaffected by human emotions or preconceptions you know it's interesting arthur conan doyle who wrote sherlock holmes stuff very logical person you know deductive reasoning and everything you know sherlock holmes character he was taken in by this kind of stuff he was taken in by this kind of mysticism and the occult because if you don't believe in god
Starting point is 00:55:02 you'll believe in anything quite frankly we had had kind of an experience once tangentially with someone like this. We were not seeking it. It was somebody when we had our other business that sold us a bunch. It was a marketing person. Sold us a bunch of pens, you know, and Karen's placing the order. And she says, well, I'm a psychic, and I can tell that, you know, there's something about you, and, you know, you're trying to have kids or something. And she said, yeah, I'm a psychic, and I can tell that there's something about you, and you're trying to have kids or something.
Starting point is 00:55:28 She said, yeah, that's true. She said, well, I'm telling you that your son's going to be born on a Tuesday. This was years before we had our kids. And Karen said, well, stay away from these people. And we did. Didn't pay attention and just broke off this relationship with her right away um and then when travis was born i said see yeah not born on a tuesday and then uh karen was pregnant and um uh it was going very long term. And so they had scheduled this for her to be induced.
Starting point is 00:56:08 And so they had scheduled her to be induced on a particular day. And then, you know, the delivery came before the inducement was supposed to happen. And still it looked like, you know, she was going to give birth on a different day, on a Monday. But then it turned into a very long delivery, and the baby was induced Tuesday. Now, was that a coincidence, or did she know something about it? And again, you don't play with the occult, even with stuff like this. It's a lure into that. I think the occult is real, just like that. It's a lure into that. I think the occult is real.
Starting point is 00:56:45 Just like I think the UFO stuff is demonic manifestations. There can be demonic manifestations in a lot of different ways. And you just walk away from it. But you don't need to have a fortune teller or artificial intelligence to tell you not to post all kinds of threatening stuff against the president on social media. This is a Utah man who was shot dead on his doorstep by the Secret Service after he posted a bunch of stuff threatening to shoot Joe Biden.
Starting point is 00:57:22 And if you look at the stuff that he put up on social media, it was beyond stupid. I still don't understand why people have not gotten the memo that when you put stuff up on social media, the government is looking at it all the time. And in many cases, your employers are looking at it, or somebody's going to look at it. Who's going to snitch on your, to you, on you, to the government or to your employer or whatever. But he was putting stuff up, you know, I'm going to get out my ghillie suit. I'm going to, my sniper rifle. He takes, this guy's in his mid seventies, you know, and pot belly and all the rest of this stuff. And he's taking pictures of himself, like he's Rambo or something with his guns and showing pictures of all of his guns that are lined up and then, uh, taunting law enforcement to do something about it. Yeah, they did something
Starting point is 00:58:10 about it. They showed up and they shot him dead. I mean, again, you know, what, what did he think was going to happen with this? And, uh, finally we have, uh, the Supreme court is going to be looking at something that the Hill says could imperil the entire tax code of the United States. I thought, well, that sounds interesting. Let's, let's look at this. Let's hope that this does happen because when you look at what is happening with the IRS, as I pointed out, um, a couple of days ago, it's not just the 80,000 new IRS agents. It's not just the fact that the Democrats wanted to grow the IRS budget, make it 700 times, 700% greater, right? Seven times greater. The Republicans said, no, we're only going to make it five times bigger than it is today.
Starting point is 00:59:04 And then they are going to push us into a paperless interaction with them and guess what it'll probably involve some kind of biometric id that's my opinion they'll say well you know you're dealing with um you're dealing with uh the irs and we're talking about a lot of money here so you're gonna have to give us some kind of a facial scan or some kind of a biometric thing. The only thing stopping this, they've already tried to do this last year. The only thing stopping them was having the technology
Starting point is 00:59:34 available to make them do this. So as soon as they get the technology available, they will do that. And so just understand that, um, you know, they're going to be using artificial intelligence not to tell your fortune but to take your fortune. This is all about the you will own nothing and we will get it all. That's what these 80,000 IRS agents are for. And what the $80 billion that they wanted to increase their budget with that the Democrats wanted to give them, the Republicans said, oh, that's crazy. We'll give them $60 billion. When they got a budget right now that's something like,
Starting point is 01:00:10 I forget what it was, $13 or something like that. Oh, no, we'll give them another $60. The Supreme Court has agreed to hear one of the most important tax cases in history, which could either greenlight the constitutionality of an economically disastrous wealth tax, or it could destroy critical parts of the U.S. tax system. Let's hope that it does the latter part of this, because a wealth tax is a very insidious thing. And the wealth tax, and this is, you know, in a sense, when you look
Starting point is 01:00:39 at an estate tax, that's like a wealth tax. You know, somebody has a small farm or a business, even if they weren't making a really big income out of it. When the person dies, the government can come in and evaluate that and say, well, for this to transfer, it's got to be X, you know, you got to pay X amount of taxes. And since it wasn't something that was making a lot of money, it requires the heirs to liquidate everything, sometimes at a distress sale. So they can't do it at a time that is to their advantage or in a time frame that's to their advantage.
Starting point is 01:01:12 They just have to liquidate it. That's one of the reasons why we oppose the death tax. It's one of the reasons why the Democrats love it. Unless the justices take a middle road and define the 16th Amendment according to history and traditions of the U.S. tax system, the case will result in bad law and even worse outcomes. The case concerns the constitutionality of Trump's 2017 Tax Cut and Jobs Act.
Starting point is 01:01:37 That act imposed a mandatory repatriation tax on pre-2018 profits that companies and some U.S. shareholders stored abroad. Previously, foreign business profits went untaxed until they returned to U.S. shareholders. But under the mandatory repatriation tax of Trump, they were taxed even if the shareholders had never received the income, and that's the issue. And you've got several Democrat states that are trying to do this in terms of wealth taxes. We're going to, you know, coming after all kinds of assets,
Starting point is 01:02:15 especially crypto, you know, to force you to liquidate them, and to just confiscate it. And as I point out, a very long article here, I won't go into all the details of it, but, you know, is it income if you haven't actually received it? If it hasn't actually come into you, is it income? Of course it isn't. And they talk about Black's Law Dictionary from 1910 claims that income must be received
Starting point is 01:02:42 in order to be defined as such and that any income that has not been received cannot be taxed. So will they overthrow that? Who knows? They could do anything. When the income tax was passed, it was a tax on income as distinguished from wages. So a lot of people have issues with the way the income tax was passed. I do, one of them, but you know, I'm not going to, that's not going to be the hill I'm going to die on. But I'll tell you that I don't, I don't believe that. And you know, I don't, like so many things that the government does that they don't have any legal authority, but they have the power to do it. But, you know, it was strictly for income. And it was a very high level of income. So it really only affected the 1% of the 1%. And the tax was very small. It was only 1%. And look at where we
Starting point is 01:03:42 are right now. By the time they got to world war ii they said well we got to have money to fight the war so we're going to institute a temporary wage tax and that's one of the reasons why when you would get these letters for years and years i'd look at it and they say well thank you for participating in this voluntary tax program like what? Uh, it's kind of like the guy who, uh, you know, uh, handcuffed and being yelled at by a dozen SWAT officers and armor, you know, with their billy clubs and everything. Uh, well, you're going to, you know, get rid of that federal firearms license. I'm going to make these things go away and, you know, give us your guns and sign this piece of paper and we'll go away. Otherwise, you know, and that's basically what they did.
Starting point is 01:04:27 They pushed that on and say, well, you know, we don't have the legal authority to continue taxing wages, but we're going to call it a voluntary tax. And if you don't volunteer, we got some things. It's the same type of coercion game that they ran with the vaccines. Remember? Now they're all out there saying, I didn't mandate, I didn't force anybody to get the vaccine.
Starting point is 01:04:45 We just coerced you. We just said, hey, it's your choice. You can stay locked up and locked in and go nowhere, do anything, have no job, etc., etc. Or you can sign the piece of paper. It'll make all this stuff go away. Yeah, coercion is the same as a mandate, just like these rules are the same as law. They play those types of prevarications all the time. And so, you know, another part of the prevarication is called wages income.
Starting point is 01:05:18 And now they're going to call income things that you haven't even received. We'll be right back. ¶¶ ¶¶ Analyzing the Globalist next move and now the david night show you know when the tyrants get away with things, when they get away with locking us down, when they get away with masking us up and coercing us and taking vaccines and all the rest of the stuff, they only get worse if you don't stop them.
Starting point is 01:06:55 Another example of this is what is happening in the UK with their abortion clinics. We've seen a woman who was, they've got all these prohibitions. You can't talk to anybody. You can't have any signs. You all these prohibitions. You can't talk to anybody. You can't have any signs. You can't do this. You can't do that. You cannot stand there silently with your head bowed.
Starting point is 01:07:13 Oh, you can't pray silently. We've seen one woman arrested because of that. Well, here's a second person. This is a UK Army veteran, and he was arrested and charged, again, for praying silently. But now they're taking this to the next step. Not only did they fine him at that time, but now they're coming after him for criminal charges. An Army veteran pleaded not guilty Wednesday after being charged for praying silently near an abortion clinic in Bournemouth, England,
Starting point is 01:07:45 a violation of the UK's so-called buffer zone laws. Listen to what he has to say and how he says it. So, Lord Jesus, please speak through me clearly today. Fill me with your holy wisdom of truth and love. In the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, amen. I want to thank everyone who's come here today to support and thank you for your prayers in the court today that was really really important we are standing in the nation of the magna carta the nation which has championed democracy and
Starting point is 01:08:19 freedom we have a history of upholding human rights that we can be proud of and a respect for freedom that I fought to uphold when I served this country for 20 years as an Army Reservist and Afghanistan veteran. Yet here I stand before you on the steps of Paul Magistrate's Court being prosecuted for a thought crime. The facts of my case are clear. I am accused of breaching an abortion clinic buffer zone for praying for my son Jacob and other victims of abortion, for their families and the abortion clinic staff on Ophir Road in Bournemouth. I did not approach anyone, I did not speak to anyone. I did not breach anybody's privacy. I simply stood silently. I'm being tried for the prayerful thoughts I held in my head. Let me state clearly that I absolutely condemn the harassment or intimidation of anyone, anywhere, especially vulnerable pregnant girls and women on what is likely to be one
Starting point is 01:09:26 of the worst days of their lives outside of an abortion facility. I have been praying and offering charitable support to families outside of abortion clinics since 2019 and if I ever saw a woman or family being harassed I would be the first to intervene and call the authorities. Buffer zones, which have been introduced through POs and are soon to be rolled out across the UK, are wildly disproportionate, banning not only harassment, but prayer and charitable help and support to people that may wish to receive it. And now I'm being prosecuted for my silent prayer. For the sake of our nation's freedom, I shall be fighting this prosecution with the help
Starting point is 01:10:16 of ADF and Jeremiah here is a wonderful man, and I will take it as far as we can to the European Court of Human Rights if necessary. ddyn gwych ac rwy'n mynd i'r pen draw i'r Gwrdd Gwleidyddol Ewropeaidd os ydy'n bosibl. Rwy'n hoffi diolch i fy nghyd-dau. My wife, my two kids, born kids, Jacob, my son, lost to abortion, and Bobby, who we lost to miscarriage. I'm sorry. I dedicate this to their memory. Thank you. God bless you. I simply stood silently, he said. And I'm being tried for the prayerful thoughts I held in my head. I have the video that he took of the officers coming up to him, one of them a lesbian, interrogating him as to what he's praying about. I play it because the audio is not that good. They had fined him 100 pounds, which is about $123. But now months later, after this financial penalty, they have now filed
Starting point is 01:11:54 criminal charges, which surprises many people. You see, if you don't stop tyranny, it gets worse. It's a cancer. It has to be stopped. It has to be resisted. So he said, again, people coming up, what is the nature of your prayer? Said the woman officer. And he said he was praying for his deceased son, who had died years ago in an abortion. So the UK has nationalized abortion buffer zone rules under which no one is allowed to protest. 450 meters, that's about 490 feet from any direction of the clinic. And so it criminalizes influencing outside of abortion facilities, which includes prayer, peaceful conversations,
Starting point is 01:12:52 or offers to help women with services available to those who would like to have an alternative to abortion. You know, when I look at this, and who would have thought that they would come in and do something like this? I'm reminded of the Psalms. Why do the nations rage against God? And imagine a vain thing, an empty thing. Why do they imagine it?
Starting point is 01:13:20 Why do they plot it, some translations will say. Kings of the earth set themselves and the rulers take counsel against the lord and his anointed his messiah is actually the hebrew word there let us break their bonds cast their cords from us and then the bible says, and he who sits in heaven laughs at that. See, we don't fear these types of people. Again, we confront them. We tell them the truth. We show them the truth about the abortion. Oh, that got that lady fired, didn't it? How offensive to show me a picture of what I am celebrating. It is a religious, you know, when they talk about a right to abortion, they spell it R-I-T-E. It is a kind of religious right for them. They imagine this, and that's not what it is at all. So we
Starting point is 01:14:20 don't fear these people, but let me tell you, there is something that we should fear. We should fear something. This is the thing that scares me the most. Well, hi, Bo Peep. Hey, Woody. Good to see you. Good to see you, too. Are you at church? Yes, we are.
Starting point is 01:14:40 Welcome to Saddleback, everybody. Yeah, that's what scares me, right? We have mighty weapons. Why are they afraid of silent prayer? Seriously, they're afraid of it. Because our weapons are mighty. But Saddleback Church and the churches that do stuff like that, that is what's wrong with our society.
Starting point is 01:15:06 It starts with that. It starts with that kind of nonsense that you see. The kind of infantile entertainment church that they represent. And of course, that Saddleback Church, that's Rick Warren's church. You know, just a couple of months ago, he was saying he was not a member of the Southern Baptist, but he went there to make a big deal because he's got a very big church and he's a very well-known author. And so he went there to make a big deal about the fact that he had appointed, as he left,
Starting point is 01:15:42 as he retired from this gigantic church in California, he had appointed as he left as he retired from this gigantic church in california he had appointed those two people again well those two people as co-pastors a husband and wife team as co-pastors and he thinks that um you know they are you know says we need to we need to focus on the first century church is what he was telling the southern baptist do you think that's on the first century church. That's what he was telling the Southern Baptists. Do you think that's what the first century church did? Wow. Wow. As a matter of fact, when we were in Texas,
Starting point is 01:16:16 there's a lot of places that will set up and they call themselves cowboy churches. I don't know what that is. I think that's just a label that they put up to tell people in rural areas, you're going to be comfortable here, I think that's just a label that they put up to, to, you know, tell people in rural areas, you're going to be comfortable here or something like that. I don't know what the cowboy churches, we had some friends from North Carolina. They looked at it and said, what is a cowboy church?
Starting point is 01:16:36 Frankly, I don't know. But, uh, one of the guys said, I think those are people have gone to seminary at Saddleback church. And I'm not saying that they're doing the Toy Story stuff here, but I thought it was funny, the Saddleback Church connection. But what a joke that is. What a joke that is. One person writing for, this is disntr, the center,
Starting point is 01:17:03 said, well, actually, this isn't all that unusual. This kind of behavior is a disturbing trend in modern evangelicalism. The husband-wife-pastor duo dressed up like characters from Toy Story movie and they preached a sermon about it. Actually, this disrespects the Bible
Starting point is 01:17:21 and its teachings. And it disrespects God as well. God's not a joke. This is a joke. This church is a joke. But it's very popular. I mean, if you want to put women up in the pulpit, and if you want to do skits with a toy store,
Starting point is 01:17:37 you're going to fill the church up, thousands of tens of thousands of people, just as Rick Warren has been able to do for years. And he's looking at the next, uh, you know, the next level up, make sure that he can get that pension,
Starting point is 01:17:49 I guess when he's retired. Uh, so, you know, as this person said, it actually disrespects the Bible and his teachings. Instead of lifting God's word up high, it makes it feel like a cheesy Hollywood script.
Starting point is 01:18:03 We turn our sermons into movie themes, we're playing with God's word. No movie, no matter how well made, can match the truth and the power of the Bible. I agree, and I've said that before. It's why I'm not interested in The Chosen. There isn't, the guy that put it together, Dallas Jenkins, said, yeah, we've had to change a lot of things. Of course, you always will have to change things, but they're deliberately trying to change things.
Starting point is 01:18:27 But even if you do it word by word, and there have been productions that have done that, you still editorialize when you act it out. You know, how was this said? Who was he looking at when he said this? And on and on. You know. There's all this subjective addition to it that you read into it. We need to remember the Bible isn't just another book or script. It's God's word full of truth and wisdom. It's not a story created by Hollywood. It's truth that can change our lives. But as they finished, they said,
Starting point is 01:19:05 this is Rick Warren's legacy. And we're sure that he's very proud of it. Someone else talking about this was World Magazine. They said, turning worship into a clown show. And that's really what this is, a clown show. They said, you know, we are living in a very childish age. Take a look at the picture there. You know, that's a real, we are glad to have you here. You know, Saddleback Church, you're welcome. It's lots of fun. Everything's going to be fun.
Starting point is 01:19:36 Fun, fun, fun. We've got all kinds of activities for the kids, and it's great. We live in a childish age where immaturity is lionized. Whether it's the spoiled brat behavior of a celebrity, makes me think about Trump. People love his spoiled brat behavior. And it's juvenile. It's beyond juvenile. It's the kind of juvenile behavior of a kid that needs to be taken out to the woodshed. Unfortunately, Trump is too big to take out to the woodshed, as he makes fun of Chris Christie all the time.
Starting point is 01:20:13 Anyway, or the cheap tantrums of Joe Public on Twitter. This is the world in which we live. We love that kind of soap opera, that kind of conflict. We celebrate it, and so we get a lot more of that kind of soap opera, that kind of conflict. We celebrate it. And so we get a lot more of that kind of behavior. And politics as entertainment and the rest of this. And so now, because the church follows the world in America, that's what we're getting in America, childish behavior.
Starting point is 01:20:42 There's a big difference between having child likeness. You know, Jesus talked about, you know, once you're like a child, you're not going to see the kingdom of heaven. So, you know, have this kind of fascination, this openness to what God is doing in your life. That's not childishness, which is what we're talking about here. And so turning worship services into a comedy skit is far from being sensitive to the needs of the seeker. They say, well, we want to be seeker-friendly. We have people who are seeking God. Well, I don't know who those people are
Starting point is 01:21:20 because the Bible says there's no one who seeks God. I don't know who these people are that they're supposed to reach this mythical seeker are because the Bible says there's no one who seeks God, right? So I don't know who these people are that they're supposed to reach, this mythical seeker who's out there. There are people who are being worked on by God. And see, that's the whole thing. If God is doing something in your heart, if he's put circumstances in your life, maybe some kind of illness or adversity, maybe your pending death that you know about, because we all have a pending death coming, or maybe the pending death of a
Starting point is 01:21:53 loved one or serious illness or something like that. If God's doing certain things that are driving you to ask questions about him, well, then, you know then we need to do things that, since God is driving this, we need to do things that are going to honor God, not treat this person as the one who is in charge. There's a fundamental problem there with their understanding of what people want and why they want it. Yeah, we have free will. But who is changing what we want
Starting point is 01:22:26 through circumstances, through direct interaction with us? Who is it that's changing what we want? Who's fixing our wanter, if you will? It sends a clear signal that the gospel is unworthy of attention by any serious-minded person, by any believer or unbeliever. Trivialization of worship rests ultimately upon a trivialization of God himself. Women in ministry was a focal point of the Southern Baptist controversy with Rick Warren this year, but this inane childishness parading as church seems to indicate that there are problems much deeper than that of who leads worship.
Starting point is 01:23:09 It raises the fundamental question of whether some pastors even understand what the nature of worship is and why the church exists. And when worship is turned into a clown show with a religious patina. Christianity and Christians are infantilized, and God is mocked. And so you look at this and you say, well, why does that matter? Well, you want to know why our civilization is circling the drain here?
Starting point is 01:23:41 It's because the church is so weak, because we don't have any moral absolute authority. Who's going to take moral absolute authority seriously from a church that does that kind of nonsense they don't even take it seriously you want to know why you've got people being arrested prosecuted in the uk for praying silently trying to stop babies from being mutilated? Why yesterday as we talked to Matt Trawella, why somebody is being arrested when they're speaking out? And he wasn't even speaking out. He was just reading a passage in the Bible about love. Can't read the Bible here. We don't want the Bible here.
Starting point is 01:24:16 This is a place where we are sexually grooming children in a dragon story hour. So get the Bible out of here. Get the Bible out of our society. We don't got around us anymore. Well, that's what it looks like. And going back, as I said last week, you know, MacArthur's church in L.A.,
Starting point is 01:24:39 at the beginning of this, like so many churches, they said, all right, well, you know, we'll listen to the government. I think they had a deficient understanding at the beginning of this, like so many churches, they said, all right, well, you know, we'll listen to the government. I think they had a deficient understanding at the beginning, honestly, of Romans 13. But they come around. You know, it was like, you don't do everything the government tells you to. But a lot of people really sincerely believed what the government was telling them. And then they realized,
Starting point is 01:25:06 wait a minute, there isn't any danger to anybody. This is a fake pandemic. And furthermore, they have scared us into shutting down our churches. Some people understood from the very beginning and refused to shut it down. But I think a lot of people believed the panic and the fear that was being pushed out there, not just even by the mainstream media, but by, you know, people I worked for. Uh, so they believed that and they shut it down. Oh, this is a weaponized, uh, thing from the Wuhan thing. We better shut everything down and be afraid. Yeah. I mean, you know, it was, I mean, when we were at InfoWars at the very beginning, uh, you had the people who were employees.
Starting point is 01:25:48 They were literally heading for the hills, the hill country in Texas. They wouldn't come into work. Alex didn't believe it. He was there, but he was pushing it on air saying, yeah, you're going to, and selling food. But I came in one day and he said, well, he said, you and my dad, his dad's about my age. He said, you and my dad are the only ones who are not afraid of this stuff out there. So he was like, you just keep coming here when everybody else is afraid to come into work. But, you know, a lot of people sincerely believe that.
Starting point is 01:26:17 And then they caught on to the game that was being played. And you had Pastor Coates up in Canada. He said as they were about to throw him in jail, you know, Stevenson was another one that they put in jail, in conservative Alberta. And but Coates, as he was preaching his final sermon before going to jail, he said, I wish I had paid more attention to history and to church history. I would have been, I would have seen this sooner. Well, now that they've seen it, MacArthur has put together his church there in California. They fought this thing tooth and nail, and they've put together a documentary talking about persecution and talking about, you know,
Starting point is 01:27:03 what is going to be happening in the future because folks, this isn't over. They've hit the pause button and they're there, you know, this is the one to March. So they're on the other MacGuffin, they're on the climate MacGuffin track. And we're going to talk about that when we come back. But here's John MacArthur talking about this in an interview. We were triumphant to the degree, and this is shocking. They wanted to shut us down.
Starting point is 01:27:26 When we said to them, we're tired of being postponed and postponed and postponed. So let's have a real trial and we'll depose all the health officials. We'll depose the supervisors, the political leaders of the city, county, and we'll get the truth. 24 hours later, they said, we're done, we're out. So fearful of the truth, the truth about COVID, the truth about the lockdowns, the truth about masks, the truth about everything. We knew what all the questions were
Starting point is 01:27:57 and we wanted to depose them. And we were gonna depose Gavin Newsom, the governor of California. And the panic was so severe that they paid the entire legal bill, $3.5 million. And on top of that, they gave Grace Church a permanent injunction that the county can never ever again in the future come against Grace Church.
Starting point is 01:28:24 I mean, they gave up everything to protect themselves from the truth. And of course, that's exactly what was happening with the, uh, in this story about the airline. Uh, don't show me pictures of aborted babies. Don't show me a video of an abortion. I'm just going to say They can't handle the truth. And of course they are very, you know, they're getting a special exemption for their particular church.
Starting point is 01:28:53 It's a big church. They've got like seven or 8,000 people that show up. And I was saying that all along. I said, you know, look, if the churches will stand up and you've got a big church like that, finally did.
Starting point is 01:29:05 You've got seven or 8,000 people showing up every week. And i think the thing that really pushed it over the edge was when they said um you can't sing can't sing even if you come stay separated wear the masks you can't sing okay we're done with this charade okay and so you had people showing up uh you had NPR, if you remember, PBS, putting out these lists of the most dangerous activities that you could do. And, of course, going to church was the most dangerous thing you could do. They put that there, actually put that there, because you're singing and all this other stuff, right? They have people, as you saw, you know, he's pretty old. He's in his 80s. And, you know, church demographics skew old.
Starting point is 01:29:46 You've got a lot of old people that are going there. They're not dropping dead. They're not wearing masks. They're singing and all the rest of the stuff. It showed that these people were lying. It shows what the truth is just by them showing up. And as I said, we call their bluff. It said, well, you want to keep coming after us with these fines?
Starting point is 01:30:01 You know, they put massive fines against them, millions of dollars, other punitive measures as well. They escrowed the money, and put massive fines against them, millions of dollars, other punitive measures as well. They escrowed the money and then they said, okay, now let's have a trial and let's get all the truth out. I said, no, we don't want to do that. Now, by giving that special carve out to them, that is also going to work to the advantage of many of the other churches around there as well, because we have a thing called equal protection of the law. Any of these other churches say, well, if you gave that to them, we already have this protected under the First Amendment. The reason they put this kind of stuff in is because we've got this legal fiction that somehow the unelected bureaucracy is not accountable to the law,
Starting point is 01:30:40 not responsible to the law, and they don't have to give you your rights. They don't have to give you due process or presumption of innocence, and they don't have to give you your rights. They don't have to give you due process or presumption of innocence. They don't have to honor your religious liberties because they're regulatory agencies. So a public health agency can take away all of that stuff, take away all your rights. We have to dethrone these people. They've made themselves little demigods and they must be dethroned.
Starting point is 01:31:02 We're going to take a quick break and when we come back, we're going to talk to Tony. I'll just say one last thing here. We did have a harbinger of what is going to come, and it's going to be a test of the backbone of the spineless politicians. We've already had Trump say, hey, you didn't lose that election because of me. You lost it because of the Dobbs Supreme Court decision. Then he goes out and takes credit for the Dobbs Supreme Court decision, right?
Starting point is 01:31:28 No, the problem is, again, because we're playing games with these churches and stuff. Instead of talking about and dishonoring God. And we're not talking about serious issues and we don't take life seriously. You got in Ohio, they had a measure because this is going to be on the ballot. There's a measure to overthrow some of these abortion restrictions in Ohio and to amend the constitution in order to do that. And so there was a battle this week to say that you're not going, that you're going to have a much higher threshold to amend the constitution. You had to have a 60% vote in order to amend the constitution.
Starting point is 01:32:07 They fought that battle and the people, the pro-life people lost, lost. So with a simple majority in November, they'll be able to amend the constitution to kill babies. That's where we are because we have a church that is AWOL. And we need to show up for duty. We'll be right back. Thank you. you're listening to the david knight show welcome back and joining us now is tony artaban of wise wolf gold and of course tony has set up you're listening to the David Knight show. Welcome back. And joining us now is Tony Arterburn of wise Wolf gold.
Starting point is 01:33:28 And of course, Tony has set up David Knight dot gold, which will take you to wise Wolf and let him know that you're coming through us. But it's always great to have Tony on. And every week we talk about this and we, we haven't gotten to the bricks thing yet, Tony,
Starting point is 01:33:41 but, uh, you know, they're, they're making moves on a daily basis in terms of locking us down and identifying us in this whole world coin, uh, soap opera thing. It just keeps going. Doesn't it? It does. And, uh, thankfully Africa's leading the way, you know, they kind of led the way on COVID. Yeah. If you notice back, uh, during the, the,
Starting point is 01:34:01 the scam Demick, they would say, well, we don't have that the cases, you know, and we're not getting the vaccine and people were just baffled well, we don't have the cases, you know, and we're not getting the vaccine. And people were just baffled. The mainstream media. I wonder what's what's going on with Africa. And of course, Nigeria with the central bank digital currency, you know, they had adopted Bitcoin. So although you must love the CBDC and nobody wanted it. And then you have Kenya.
Starting point is 01:34:19 I sent you this article yesterday and the leaders in Kenya said said world coin get out you're not going to be able to you know they're giving away 50 worth of credit if you'll scan your iris and uh you know give your biometrics up to to world coin and they said get out and uh i thought it was funny if you scroll down through the article they have uh the quote from sam altman and he says uh tools for humanity is what they're calling this rollout tools for humanity. And I immediately thought of the twilight zone episode, Mr. Chambers.
Starting point is 01:34:51 It's a cookbook tools to control humanity. It's tools to enslave us. And it's, it's so evident too. Um, and I'm glad, I'm glad that Kenya gets it. They understand these guys are aliens.
Starting point is 01:35:03 They've flown in. They've got the, as you point out, the twilight zone episode, they they're, we're just here to help you um and we're here to serve mankind to serve man yeah and so the guy gets on he looks at he goes this is a cookbook and uh yeah the world coin thing is a cookbook and as you pointed out you know we got uh sam um alt man pushing an alt coin as well as Sam Bankman, you pointed out that last week.
Starting point is 01:35:29 That is true. But, you know, when you look at, you know, Nigeria rejecting this, rejecting their CBDC, as you pointed out, Kenya saying, get out of here with the world coin stuff. But we've also had, you know, and the rejections of the COVID stuff. I had a listener who lived in Africa and he was writing this stuff. He says, yeah, the Europeans are freaking out and they're trying to get out of the country and get back home and everything. Everybody else here is just going on about their normal lives, all the people here in Africa.
Starting point is 01:35:57 And then there's another one showing how they are really thinking independently. And that was Uganda. Remember, they came out and they said, well, we're not going to do this LGBT stuff. We've seen how that's played out in the West. And you had even Ted Cruz, you know, shaking his finger at how dare them do this and everything. They said, well, we don't care. Uh, you can put economic sanctions against us and we don't care. Uh, we don't want your money. We're not going to sell out our families to this agenda. And, um, and now they are putting sanctions
Starting point is 01:36:25 against them and, uh, they still say we don't care. Well, good for them. And I think it really goes to show how brainwashed the West has become because of our mass media. Yes. Africa generally doesn't have that. I mean, are they showing CNN in the airports or I don't know, do they have that contract all over the continent? I don't think so. And I think it's pretty apparent. I mean, there's a rejection there on that level because we have mind control here stronger than theirs. And our populace is subject to that. And also, I think, you know, we have a bad case of affluenza here. You know, we're so addicted to comfort and the money and they aren't. You you know they have this agrarian society which jefferson said it's kind of the you know the backbone of uh of you know self-government and
Starting point is 01:37:09 that type of thing they're they're even you know they're putting the the what they're offering these people to get a scan of their eyeball and put them in their database so they've got a tool to control humanity they're only offering them 5050. These people are saying stuff it. You know, they know that if they were to offer us $50, that's a pittance to us. But it's significant to those people because they're operating in a poor area. They're self-sufficient essentially with their agriculture. But, you know, they're not going to sell their souls for $50 and tell them to take a hike. But we do this kind of stuff, as you point out, primarily because the media propagandizing people. But we also, it's like, oh, don't take away my money. We've come to love money so much
Starting point is 01:37:51 that if they come after us for some bigger dollar amount, we probably would. I mean, you look at it, it's like, okay, we wouldn't do it for 50. But let's say that they offered an amount to Americans that was significant to us. Let's say that they offered an amount to Americans that was significant to us. Let's say that they offered a thousand dollars or something, right? Cause we had people lining up to get the shot when you had DeWine offering a chance to get to win a million dollars, right? People lined up for that. It was a minuscule chance.
Starting point is 01:38:18 Or a Krispy Kreme donut. Yeah. Even that, you know, I guess we sell our prices really pretty low. That's like the game of scruples. We realized when we were playing that game one time, we said, they just keep asking us the same three or four questions and changing the price tag here. You know, so some people's prices, uh, the Krispy Kreme donut, I guess one Krispy Kreme in the hand is worth a million dollars in the bush. Right. I think it kind of looks like a Facebook's libra remember that failed experiment i i don't know
Starting point is 01:38:48 david maybe they'll try to get americans to take it for free that's not maybe it'll be some kind of uh social pressure or something like that i i don't know i mean that definitely you you make a great point there at fifty dollars and after that's a lot of money yeah you know and uh for for them to stand and say no to that i think think is amazing. Yeah. Well, you know, you talk about Libra and in the middle of that white paper that, uh, Zuckerberg was putting out there to try to make himself the world's banker, you know, this is going to be the global currency. He said, this will become a de facto global ID. You like me now, you know, can we do it now? And so Altman is doing a couple of more things. So what he's doing is he's saying, well, not only is it going to be a de facto global ID,
Starting point is 01:39:30 but it'll be a de facto biometric global ID. And we will also start getting people accustomed to universal basic income. So he's sweetened it to a couple of different levels. But I still don't think that they're going to go with him to do that. I do think that they will give him all kinds of concessions in terms of artificial intelligence and monopoly, you know, carve outs that he went to Congress to get. I think they're going to give that to him. They're going to give that to, uh, uh, the Microsoft competitor, but I don't think that they're going to go with a world coin. I hope not. Well, it may not be Mr. Altman, but they definitely love this system. He's going to be rewarded for building the technology because this is the ultimate goal. And you talk about
Starting point is 01:40:15 central bank digital currency and you look at, and they may use this public private partnership stuff. I mean, this is really fascism in the 21st century and they've they've become really good at this over the years so I I think that there will be some looking at the rejection of Central Bank digital currency is this are they floating this as a way to merge it you know make it look like it's a a launch of a crypto you can get rich doing this and you just you know give up your biometric data everybody's doing it um And then they link it up to governments. And language is everything. It's a world coin.
Starting point is 01:40:50 It's a federal reserve. All those things, those words matter. Yeah. Oh, absolutely. And when you're talking about these tools for humanity, the other thing he said was the company argues in the future when AI is, quote, fully functional, it will be difficult to determine whether a subject is human or machine. So that's why you've got to verify your humanity to them, right?
Starting point is 01:41:11 And as I've said before, they keep creating these crises, okay? We've got an open border because we're pulling people in with a social welfare net and all these other things. And so we have these manufactured crises. And so we have these manufactured crises. And so you're going to have to get a, an ID, you know, it's going to be the solution to everything. We got pornography is a problem. So you're going to have to have an ID to use the internet.
Starting point is 01:41:33 In this particular case, we've already seen this argument, you know, deep fakes. We've got deep fakes out there. Okay. So we're going to have, they've,
Starting point is 01:41:41 they've already in place, put their solution, the coalition, the coalition for Content Provenance and Authentication, Microsoft and DARPA, putting that out there, getting the CPU companies, getting Adobe and the software creation companies to put an ID on everything that we create. Because AI might do something fake. They don't put it on AI. They don't put the ID requirements on the people coming into the country who are thinking. They put the requirements on us. Everything is a crisis that they manufacture to route us into their solutions.
Starting point is 01:42:15 And their solutions always involve some kind of an ID. It's just amazing. Yeah, who knew? It's the Hegelian dialectic. It's their favorite game. And now people have to prove they're not AI instead of AI having to prove it's not a human. It's totally backwards. And that's the system they want to build.
Starting point is 01:42:32 This is the technocracy. I was looking at technocracy.news this morning, Patrick Wood's site. He's got great articles over there. One of the articles we can talk about is just that we're going to get into china and buying gold but all these central banks not buying gold and this is part of the technocratic system i was going to read a portion of his his article uh today just it really captures the essence of what's going on we when i come on and talked about metals with you why are we doing that why why are david and i talking about precious metals it's because this is historic ladies and gentlemen we're watching the the rollout of central bank digital currencies.
Starting point is 01:43:07 They have the technology to capture us into a one-world currency. When they push it, they can do it. But we're pushing back against that. And you can see the game is about to change, whether we're talking about the BRICS nations, a meeting here coming up on August 22nd. That's Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa. Now they've got Saudi Arabia in the periphery, Mexico, possibly Japan. Momentous shifts in the global economy and what it means for currency, for money, for transactions.
Starting point is 01:43:39 Everything is about to change. And it won't change in one day. But what you're watching is a series of changes. And all of these things matter. This is a story that goes together it's it's uh really historic that's right and of course at the same time we're seeing uh this massive move in the uk to debank nigel farage and other people following on with what we saw from paypal where they went after the guy that's got the daily skeptic and and that got a lot of attention from the mainstream press there. But, of course, PayPal has been doing that for quite some time here in the U.S.
Starting point is 01:44:09 They did it to me back in May of 2021. But, you know, now PayPal is coming out. So you've got a couple of different things happening. People are saying, well, if you haven't been debanked yet, you're going to be debanked eventually. They might debank you because of your political views or your climate views or your climate views or your religious views they might uh stop you just because um you know they don't like your consumption
Starting point is 01:44:31 habits and that type of thing you've already got bank of america snitching on people who use their credit cards to buy guns they turn that information over uh red flag that and of course bank of america was uh, uh, turning over all the transactions of people who were anywhere in the vicinity of, um, um, you know, January the six. So they could be part of this dragnet for the FBI to look at that. So all these things are happening. And I wonder Tony, if this debanking aspect is just another, uh another leg of this to push people into their CBDC to say, well, you know, you're going to have to go into the private banks are not going to let you be in there. Well, but, you know, because we're government, we got to let you in. And so you can still you can't use a private banking system because these people are just following their own prejudices.
Starting point is 01:45:22 And of course, that's a lie. We've seen that with the free speech stuff. They're just the deputized state. But they might put out that lie and say, well, they're private companies. They can do whatever they want. We don't agree with that, but they can do that. But you know, if you want to be able to buy and sell, you can always use the Federal Reserve's Fed coin to do this stuff. We're not going to kick you out with the federal government. We can't do that. I don't know. I don't think people realize just how many millions of Americans don't have a bank account. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:45:48 They're not bankable. Either something happened in their past. Maybe they went through some financial hardship and they got overdrawn and they owed a bank. Not everybody can open a bank account. Yeah. And you're exactly right. And I've been thinking about that. And it keeps growing.
Starting point is 01:46:04 Yes. The number of Americans that really, and then you can get into some really, they, they prey upon those people too. They get them into really bad banking account, charge them for everything, their feed up and down. Um, so yeah, that you're exactly right. It'll just, it'll be the solution, whether it's the loss of purchasing power of the dollar or economic hard times.
Starting point is 01:46:23 It kind of like world coin is offering the $50 to give away your biometric data. Same thing with CBD, CBDC central bank digital currency will be tied to you by either biometrically. It's going to be tight. Your ID, your wallet. It's not like Bitcoin where I can go download an Exodus wallet has nothing to
Starting point is 01:46:40 do with an exchange. You send me Bitcoin. That's my Bitcoin. I own the keys. This will be something totally to they'll own the keys to your wallet and, uh, your sacrificing, and that will be your freedom and your Liberty for the, your UBI for universal basic income. That's right.
Starting point is 01:46:56 Yeah. They're going to put a, an ID tag on us, like as their livestock. And of course they're going to track everything that we produce with this, uh, CCPA course, they call it the C2 PA because they don't want you to see how much it's like the Chinese Communist Party of America. But, you know, that's what that is all about. And, you know, PayPal has had this history now for a couple of years. They've been kicking people off they didn't like politically. They didn't get any attention drawn to it, even though I know other people that have had this happen to them as well.
Starting point is 01:47:25 In the UK, they got attention drawn to it, and then there was a lot of threats made to them. As a matter of fact, they even put out the thing where they were going to charge people $2,500. Remember that? And they came up with this. Well, I don't know how that got there. It's strange that you would say that. I don't know why you would say that. And then they said, that's just a mistake.
Starting point is 01:47:43 And everybody goes, you put out this legal document, and you say you don't know how that got there. And then they showed that they were lying when all the heat died down after a couple of weeks. They put it back in. And now they're out there pushing a stable coin. And, you know, again, why, Tony, would PayPal tell you that you got to use a PayPal stable coin? I mean, why would they interject that into the mix? What do you think? I wonder why.
Starting point is 01:48:09 I think a lot of these moves that are being made, the bigs are consolidating more and more. We watched this through the Silvergate banking crisis that went crypto with FTX and these regional banks started to hemorrhage. And the bigs big started saying, looking at that. And I think just licking their chops or writing to waiting to buy them up. Um, and again, I think PayPal is really untouchable at this point.
Starting point is 01:48:33 I mean, they've debanked people, they've censored people, but they keep on moving. I have to use PayPal. I use PayPal right now. And I don't like to, uh,
Starting point is 01:48:41 I don't use it because I know their stance. I don't use it. Cause they won't let me use it. I actually tried to, I wanted to buy something. It wasn't very much money and it was like some kind of a, you know, music sample or something. And these people only would sell that if you had PayPal. So it was like, well, I can't get it, you know?
Starting point is 01:48:58 And, uh, so yeah, PayPal is, um, I've been banned personally from using any PayPal and in the UK, they now have a parental group called Us for Them. This grew out of the pandemic and the lockdown of the schools. And so they brought this group together to try to get the schools open. That falls in the category of be careful what you ask for, right? You just might get the schools reopened. But because they didn't like their politics and because they were against the COVID narrative, they've now had their accounts being shut down
Starting point is 01:49:31 by PayPal. And so they're making a big deal out of this because PayPal's in a legal situation where they're supposed to get validated by the regulators this year. And if they don't, it has some big consequences for them perhaps. So they're trying to do this to make sure that they can't keep and get attention, to make sure that they can't stay in business. But again, PayPal is so big, and I don't know what Musk is going to do. Again, Musk and Peter Thiel were the ones who started PayPal and brought the PayPal thing together, merging their companies.
Starting point is 01:50:04 And so now the two of them are looking at creating perhaps a competitor, X. That's going to be this all-comprehensive thing. They want to do payments as well and become like Weibo in China. But he'll probably come in, and that may be one of the reasons why he's fought so hard with Twitter to show people that he's going to be a free speech platform maybe he's going to use those creds to say that he's going to you know we're gonna do payments as well and we're going to push back against what PayPal is doing and these various governments are going to do but I still think that ultimately
Starting point is 01:50:42 they will go that way don't you it'll be uh, a rope-a-dope thing. Well, they've done this before. I've seen this, uh, you know, it's free speech with the digital public square. Come on down, bring your content. Don't worry about websites. Don't create your own individual thing right here. That's where everybody is. And then, you know, years down the road, they say, we don't like what you said.
Starting point is 01:51:03 So you're deleted. That's right. This is, I think our version of the social credit score. That's what's going on right now. It's sophisticated. And you're talking about PayPal with stable coins. We're creating different classes of people, David. That's what's happening.
Starting point is 01:51:20 Where people that are allowed to take part in commerce allowed to to post on social media those there's going to be that class of people and then there's going to be the class that you know they invested their time they they they joined they did all the things until they spoke out maybe they uh talked about the Constitution or Christianity or just said something wrong think and that will get them banned. And again, that's the, that's the, the, the two, the two systems, the, um, the double standard that I think we've been seeing across the board here, uh, really, and kicking into hyperdrive in the last three years. Yeah, I agree.
Starting point is 01:51:56 I think it is just, they see a marketing opportunity in the same way that Rupert Murdoch looked at the news and said, uh, he's not a conservative. Of course, he looks at the news and goes, oh, all of them are leaning left. Let me do one that's leaning to the right. And so he creates that. And then when he goes to talk radio, he says, well, most talk radio is conservative. So let's do a talk radio leftist network and that type of thing. I think that's what Musk and Thiel are going to do with their X platform.
Starting point is 01:52:23 It's going to be the same kind of rope-a-dope, as you pointed out, that the internet was all about and social media was all about. And Drudge, for the longest time before he switched, he would say, well, what they're setting up with social media is a gated area. You go in there and everything is free at first and then they shut the gates, right? It's a gated community and then they're going to turn the gas on in this prison, you know,
Starting point is 01:52:47 which is really what we've seen now happening with free speech. So what is going on with the central banks? We're still a week or so away from the BRICS meeting to find out what's going to happen with that. But China has been buying a lot of gold. As a matter of fact, the other day I was talking about how much the public is starting to buy gold as well now. Yeah, there's an article, there's two that I wanted to talk about. One, Zero Hedge.
Starting point is 01:53:14 I sent this to you yesterday. China buys 23 tons of gold for the ninth straight month of purchases. If you go into the article, and it's something I've been saying, first of all, they want the world to know that there was a while that they hid their purchases. And, you know, every central bank except one around the world became a net buyer of gold after 2009. And the one that was excluded is the United States of America because the Federal Reserve is the world's reserve currency. The dollar is at war with gold. It's at war with value. If it starts purchasing gold and it buys into the global supply, it's going to drive the price up.
Starting point is 01:53:51 Again, that's detrimental to the dollar. And you can see that. But something interesting in this article, David, and again, this is they've broken all the records since the records were kept in the 1950s. Central banks buying gold in the last couple of years, especially last year and then this year, they're just breaking all the records were kept in the 1950s, central banks buying gold in the last couple of years, especially last year and then this year, they're just breaking all the records. You go down and you talk to, or you look at the article, and what they're talking about is the fact that central banks, like the European Central Banks and the Federal Reserve,
Starting point is 01:54:19 historically, when they raise rates, it drives the price of metals down. You go back to Ben Bernanke in 2009, 2010, and he says, look, the price of gold was reaching close to $2,000 an ounce. The Federal Reserve stepped in and said, okay, we did tarp funds. We're never going to do that again. Don't worry. The dollar is sound. And again, people started dumping their gold holdings and it drove gold close to $2,000 an ounce.
Starting point is 01:54:47 And it drove it down to $1,100 an ounce. And people walked away. Silver was breaking into the $50 range and it went down. But what's happened is the amount of central banks buying gold, even with the raising of rates it's still keeping prices high because the amount of demand is historic and it's not you know you you're right people are buying gold and and uh I covered this in the last couple of shows I did Millennials are are outpacing my generation of Gen X and uh the baby boomers by a large margin and unfortunately they're buying etfs but they but they start to see the writing on the wall this i think the
Starting point is 01:55:30 the younger generations understand that there's a a historic shift going on in what value is and uh you know patrick wood had an article up same thing i just looked into technocracy.news this morning and uh same same thing there the uh the central bank's buying gold and the the issue with where we are historically is that mathematically they can't maintain fiat currencies dominance i'm not talking just about the dollar just fiat currency in general david in the modern era we're used to throwing around numbers like trillion right this is something unprecedented as you know and i ask people can't even imagine how long ago you know i asked people how long ago was a trillion seconds and it seems like it can't be that long well it's 32 000 years all right because a billion seconds
Starting point is 01:56:24 is 32 years it's 32 years ago. So that's like, that's obtainable in your mind. You can wrap that, but you, but that's how far removed a trillion is from a billion. It's a thousand billion. Yeah. So it's 32,000 years ago is a trillion seconds. Folks, these numbers that are, that are tied to fiat currency and central banks are unsustainable they are not going to last through this century and uh the the powers that be know this by the way they're not telling
Starting point is 01:56:53 you to buy gold yeah they're not the central banks aren't today no no no no it's uh the remember the golden rule he who has the gold makes the rules yeah so this is i think these are the big stories and i think you know we cover this and i'm so glad to talk to you every thursday about this stuff because it's so important it's not that i'm coming on and wanting people i'm not an infomercial i'm not telling but just buy gold for me and you know that that's not that's not what we do but it is understanding what is about to change that's why david I broadcast. I really want to talk about history and how you can prepare and be ahead of it. Because so much of this,
Starting point is 01:57:28 this narrative is benefits the wealthy and the elite. And that's what they're doing. Watch what they say, not what they do. Yeah. We're at a period of time is what was it? Lennon who said that, you know,
Starting point is 01:57:38 we're, we're going to, in the next few years, we're going to see decades happening in each year. We're going through a period of very rapid change. They understand that we should understand that uh these same people who talk about millennials and uh who came up with who coined that term and these different generational terms and who started talking about strauss and howe who talked about the fourth turning and they predicted all the
Starting point is 01:57:58 things that have been happening here not because you know they are psychics or anything like that or they didn't they didn't have artificial intelligence either. They just looked at history, and they saw a cyclical thing happening every four generations. I've got a comment here for you on Rockfin from Brian Taylor. He says, what should young people who don't have a lot of money for gold and silver do to prepare for CBDC? Well, you want something outside of the system you want to understand uh how to use a decentralized cryptocurrency wallet i don't have
Starting point is 01:58:34 anything to do with it but i would look at something like exodus cryptocurrency is important the other side of that coin is actual coins gold and silver um if you don't have a lot of cash first of all you can look at uh wolf pack and you can go to david knight dot gold we've got a package for fifty dollars a month called the lone wolf package we're gonna put silver and gold backs we're gonna put uh you know a lot of fractionalized coins in there for you that's the key fractionalized coins that is also something that's very important because that's the big you know dig against gold and all that kind of stuff you know well you got a coin and it's worth two thousand dollars now or whatever it's going to be in the future uh silver makes that a little bit easier but then there's
Starting point is 01:59:12 also fractionalized gold coins and gold you know paper that has gold embedded in it those things are going to be very important I think goldbacks are great we order goldbacks every month for for wolfpack members fractionalized uh you're going to pay a little bit more premium but again when you're holding a let's say you've got silver dimes you know they made fun of ron paul back when he ran for president in 08 he said you know i can get gas down again to a to a dime a gallon and everybody laughed and he said well actually a silver dime is worth about three dollars you know and again that's there's the separation of logic you know we don't teach about money in school and uh for there's a
Starting point is 01:59:51 reason for that henry ford said if people understood the banking system there'd be a revolution by morning i think he was right so we're being robbed and that's the way you have when you hold gold and silver in your hand you've got something physical there's no counterparty risk just you in that coin you can trade it for something and that person's going to take it in exchange for whatever they have it's that's how you stay outside of the central bank digital currency those two things and maybe cryptocurrency is going to get harder over the years i hope it doesn't um you know i'm still optimistic there because there's more and more adoption every single day. Well, there's a fight right now with SEC trying to shut down CoinDesk.
Starting point is 02:00:29 They said to them, well, we're going to shut you down for every cryptocurrency except for Bitcoin. And as I talked about that, so why did they exempt Bitcoin? Well, because they didn't want to go against we the people. There's too many people involved in Bitcoin. They'll do it incrementally. They'll set up a precedent and say, well, we're going to all, all of the cryptocurrencies, but Bitcoin will treat them as securities. Well, if you go that route, it's only a matter of time before they say the same thing
Starting point is 02:00:53 about Bitcoin and use that as a verification to ban it. Uh, so there's different things that we can do. There's risks with all of these different things. So you ought to try several different things. I'd say that to you, Brian. Uh, But also, you know, what Tony was talking about there, you know, silver is available in smaller sizes and it's less money than gold is, but you can also get gold in these small fractionalized amounts. And as Tony said, the premium is going to be a little bit more for that. But when you look at something like, you know, the alternative, As you mentioned, Tony, you got a lot of millennials who are buying ETFs. They're buying paper gold or paper silver. But they need to realize that, and I realized this because I was buying it for my IRA for a while. I put it in paper gold and paper silver. But then I realized, wait a minute, these things are not tracking.
Starting point is 02:01:40 And I started looking at why isn't the paper gold and paper silver, why isn't it tracking the spot price of gold? And then I found out that there may not be anything there it's got to be something that you actually hold and you can hold small amounts of it and you can buy it incrementally as as you point out with the wool pack program or something else like that so uh that's a sophisticated system of manipulation when you're trying I don't even know how it works I read a couple of books on it there's some researchers that i think have nailed it over the years how the central banks work with the bullion houses to suppress the price yeah you know again i don't think we're seeing the real see the real price of gold and that's what's so interesting about what i do you know nixon took us off the gold standard in 71
Starting point is 02:02:24 uh it was 35 an ounce by the end of the 70s is close to 800 an ounce but does that mean that gold went up in value and there's a difference between value and pricing because they're purchasing power and that's that's what we're in right now i think the the the powers that be know this there's going to be a revaluation of currency across the board and these countries are getting together like the brics nations and they're and they're going to try to i think announce on the 22nd or sometime after some sort of gold-backed currency that for for their countries and kind of the you know the incubation stage of whatever gets going to
Starting point is 02:03:01 kill the dollar and it's maybe a series of things but that's what we're up against and it's uh the dollars on its way out uh other nations know this and uh they're banding together gold it seems to be uh carrying the day for those who want to uh seek shelter from the devaluation storm yeah yeah yeah when i started looking at the uh the paper gold stuff as you pointed out we've talked about this in the past it really is kind of like a Fiat metal. And I saw it was coming from the Shanghai gold exchange. And it's like, Oh, okay. And there may not be anything at all there. And of course, there's a lot of people who, who question what is really there to back this stuff up. And as you pointed out,
Starting point is 02:03:40 it looks like they're manipulating the value of that. Uh, but you know, when you look at it with, uh, uh, gold IRAs, one of the articles you sent to me with three big reasons to open a gold IRA now. And, uh, I think a lot of people don't realize that, uh, you don't have to invest in the paper gold, paper silver, uh, that you can actually invest in a physical gold with a gold IRA. Talk a little bit about that. I sent you that because of that. I think a lot of people are just misled. They don't are just misinformed. They don't understand that you can buy physical precious metals with your IRA or 401k.
Starting point is 02:04:17 And, you know, the 401ks and the IRAs are linked to all this paper, the stock market and the market itself. And, you know, Goldman Sachs even put out a a report this year that said there will be no more returns from the stock market this year in 2023. um and again I'm not an investment person I I make that pretty clear on everything that I do I have gold and silver to me or money uh it's it just houses I'm a protection person I want you to protect your your wealth and you know wealth is and i think uh gold and silver a representation of energy and work and so that's you know you you save and um an ira
Starting point is 02:04:52 that's backed by a gold and silver that's your gold and silver it goes into a third party vault it's very easy if you have an existing ira and we've taken care of a lot of david knight listeners on this if you have an existing ira or 401k you can go to davidknight.gold and contact us. We can show you how you can convert that. And there's no penalties to convert an existing IRA or 401k into a gold and silver IRA. And I'm talking, this is your metal. Like if you, you had $10,000 in an IRA, David, you could take that, convert it into a gold and silver precious metals IRA. You pick your vault, which is like nine over the country. I use Dallas, but you have to put it in a third-party vault to comply with the IRA rules. But if you buy 10 American gold eagles from me and 10 100-ounce silver bars, those bars are yours.
Starting point is 02:05:38 Those coins are yours. They go into your vault. And then I think what's 59 is when an ira matures at age 59 you can withdraw that and so if you're going long term to me uh and again not investment advice but go look at what has happened to silver look at the historical price of silver and then measure that against the loss of purchasing power of the dollar you tell me if silver is undervalued i mean i'm just gonna let you make your own decision i know in 1980 it was 50 an ounce that's like 200 today in purchasing power it's still under 30 to buy retail silver right now that's crazy in 2023 and the gold and silver ratio is very much skewed when you're talking about a revaluation of currency and
Starting point is 02:06:24 you're talking about loss of purchasing power from the dollar and silver is cheap i think that's a i think you're you're positioned very well uh to buy physical silver especially being it's the most thermoconductive metal it's used in solar it's used in medicine and the demand is skyrocketing so i like silver for that i like gold to house your value as well. But again, these are easy things for us to do. If you're sitting on the fence and wondering what to do next and looking at your 401k, give us a call. Maybe we can, especially with prices the way they are, we can get you into a gold and silver. Yeah, that's true.
Starting point is 02:06:57 Especially, you know, Brian, who's talking about a young person. If you were to do something like that, you look at it and say, okay, it's historically low prices. We've got brand new applications like solar panels that are using massive amounts of it and everything. So, you know, over a long period of time, it's a pretty good bet. You know, if you're trying to time a market on any of this kind of stuff, you know, you can't always do that. So if you've got to have something in the next five years, that may or may not happen in that period of time. But it's not going, I don't think, it certainly isn't going to lose its value
Starting point is 02:07:26 because it's so depressed there. I wouldn't think that it would be much of a downside risk, but the upside potential for somebody who's young to put that into an IRA, of course that money is going to be locked away from you, but there are other ways that you can get it out if you've got some kind of a hardship. You can do withdrawals from an IRA.
Starting point is 02:07:46 But, you know, over a long-range horizon, you look at how depressed it is right now, especially silver, but also even gold. That's a good point. Tell us a little bit about what's going on right now at wisewolf.gold. Well, we're just working on continuing keeping our supply chain open. And I've got a good buffer for uh i've i've got a good buffer for wolf pack we got a lot of neat products coming out uh i mentioned last week that we have another tier that we put out called wolf cub which is for for kids and uh my staff uh the ladies that
Starting point is 02:08:18 work for me here in branson they're really excited because they were finding different uh wolves and coins and putting like together a coloring book and we're going to do that and like an explanation of the coins for a wolf cub and it's only 35 and that's a great gift but but wolf packing is you know i've been really busy with this david is is building that community there we got more stuff rolling out very soon uh we got close to 800 members uh the more people that join, the better prices that we can get for people because I've got better purchasing power. And I'm buying from the public and I'm buying from wholesalers. But a lot of great products, goldbacks, fractional silver, fractional gold.
Starting point is 02:08:58 It's a great mix. If you look at the reviews, and I think so many of the Wolfpack members are David Knight listeners, and we so appreciate that. And I've said I'm continuing this, and unless I'm wrong, I asked the ladies yesterday here at Brand Sense, how many more silver dollars do I have? It wasn't that many, but we still got some up front. So if you're a David Knight listener, you upgrade or you join Wolfpack, that's a free silver dollar. I'll include that. Anything from Lone Wolf and above, I'll a a free silver dollar i'll i'll include that anything from lone wolf and above uh i'll include a free silver dollar so uh go to david knight dot golden and it's a way to
Starting point is 02:09:31 support the show uh we we love sponsoring david and uh i love our talks every thursday i think we always uh last week i was uh i laughed when you uh chose the title of the the interview of the the alt man and the bank man i'm glad that you found that funny i did i thought that was the perfect thing these guys are doing these it is amazing isn't it how these big guys these billionaires just get to control society i mean it is amazing it is amazing you know it's like uh what was it hemingway's making fun of scott's fitzger when he says, uh, you know, cause Fitzgerald says the rich are different than you and I. And Hemingway said, yeah, they have more money.
Starting point is 02:10:09 They just have more money folks. And some of them aren't that smart. I mean, you've watched that, uh, that submarine guy with the remote control. I mean, uh, and he was giving you some pause. He was stupid enough, not only to make that that's dumb enough, but you know, you could look at this and say, well, you know, he just doesn't care about other people. But he actually got in it himself. I mean, he really believed that stuff.
Starting point is 02:10:30 That's terrifying. The screen door submarine. Yeah, that's a big thing. And people like it when you're on, Tony. As a matter of fact, on Rumble, Nick Ellenbecker. Thank you for the tip. I appreciate that, Nick. And he says, always enjoy segments with Tony.
Starting point is 02:10:44 Thank you. And they do. We've got another one here from, uh, Mr. Goldfold. Uh, thank you for the tip. He says no bank account, no cell phone. Wow. I envy that person. Yeah, that is true. I, he might be referring to, uh, uh, an article that I saw of a guy who is, uh, has been, he, he, he doesn't have any income. He doesn't have any ID. He's living out in the woods, I think, in Virginia somewhere. And some guy did a little mini documentary on him. It's kind of interesting. But it's always great talking to you, Tony.
Starting point is 02:11:12 Thank you so much. Appreciate it. Thank you, Dave. Wisewolf.gold. And, of course, you can get there with DavidKnight.gold. We're going to be right back. And I want to talk a little bit about some more miscellaneous news things. But I want to begin with a DARPA funded study where they're going to use AI to detect the violations of social norms when
Starting point is 02:11:32 you're writing. Now, what could possibly go wrong with that? ¶¶ In a world of deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act. You're listening to The David Knight Show. Yeah, why would the Pentagon be doing this? As a matter of fact, why would DAR Pentagon be doing this? As a matter of fact, why would DARPA be doing this, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, funding a study to use artificial intelligence to look at violations of social norms? Of course, it's a conspiracy theory to say that we're going to be,
Starting point is 02:12:43 they're going to be imposing a social credit system on us or, uh, increasing the censorship and all the rest of this stuff. Uh, yeah, nothing to worry about at all with that. As a matter of fact, before I get into this, though, let me say also, thank you to on Rockfin to a GMO. Thank you very much for the, for the tip. I appreciate that. Uh, yeah, the Rockfin, the Pentagon, uh, the, um, Pentagon's DARPA,
Starting point is 02:13:07 as these people point out this extreme tech out of the article, I said, they momentarily turned their attention away from self-flying helicopters and human spotting robots, and also self-flying jets, which they just did this last week or so, uh, to provide resources for a strange implementation of artificial intelligence. Funding provided by the agency and researchers at Israel's Ben-Gurion University have created an AI tool that detects violations of social norms. I think back about the prisoner, favorite of Guard Goldsmith and mine. You're being very unmutual here.
Starting point is 02:13:47 You know, that was the rebuke that they would give to number six in the village where he's being held as a prisoner. You're being unmutual. And so I guess now Pentagon and DARPA have a program where they're going to identify the people who are unmutual. The tool, another one of these tools for humanity to serve us right the tool reliably spots infringements on ten different types of social norms offering psychologists and sociologists a unique way to study human
Starting point is 02:14:19 behavior and again how they're going to get this information through the internet and I've said this from the very beginning. The internet, from the very beginning, J.C.R. Licklider, a psychologist at DARPA, the same agency here, in the 1960s was talking about the internet, how they needed to set it up. And in the 1990s, when the technology got to the point where it was fast enough, they started putting their intelligence community people on all these different venture capital boards, and you even community people on all these different venture capital boards.
Starting point is 02:14:45 And you even had the CIA openly create a venture capital firm. You know, they usually prior to that, they didn't, they kind of kept it a secret as to who they were giving money to, but they wasn't a secret. And so you had all these different competitors that were all part of the team and then let them go at each other.
Starting point is 02:15:03 May the best man win. And we're going to offer you free stuff and freedom and all the rest of the stuff for a little while. And then we're going to close the gates. And now we've got you under our control. They have established the kind of behavior where people feel comfortable talking about themselves. I just got that guy killed in Utah, right? And he's, uh, I don't think he was really seriously going to do anything about it. I think he's just talking like a, you know, tough guy. Talking about how much he loved Trump, how much he hated Biden, showing pictures of his guns and taunting them and saying, yeah, I'm going to get my ghillie suit so we can take
Starting point is 02:15:38 this guy out or whatever. He didn't have, he wasn't doing anything about that, but they show up on his doorstep and shoot him dead. And when are people going to learn? How many times have we seen somebody even posting up something that is innocent? You know, a kid in school, look at my new hunting rifle. Well, he gets expelled from school. They're watching.
Starting point is 02:16:03 They're watching everything that you do so the tool identifies violations across ten social norm types competence politeness I guess we can you know puts Trump in the spotlight there trust that would do it as well discipline caring agreeableness, success, conformity, decency, and loyalty. I don't think we're going to have any politicians going to make that cut. Oh, violate that in multiple ways. When the researchers input a text scenario, the tool assesses whether the text describes a social norm transgression, a sin, a sin. The establishment authoritarian government has a list of sins. In a soap opera worthy text about a married couple's tendency
Starting point is 02:16:58 to cheat on one another, the tool identified shame. Those must not have been about Trump. He has no shame about that. Conversely, in a text describing academic success, the tool found that the narrator had obeyed a social norm. In other words, doing well in school. That's not a social norm anymore. Seriously, you do well in school, that's white supremacy or privilege or whatever they want to call it. And was experiencing a reward, pride for so doing.
Starting point is 02:17:29 Well, as a result, tools like this one might offer a new pathway to study human decision-making, values, cooperation. And that's all well and good, probably, but it doesn't explain why the Pentagon would be interested in it. But we all know, don't we? I mean, it's a rhetorical question. Why is the Pentagon interested in this? Why are they doing the CBDC? Why are they doing FedNow? Oh, you'll be able to get money transferred to you 24-7, 365.
Starting point is 02:17:59 We can already do that. There's multiple apps. PayPal is punishing people. But there's a lot of other apps that are out there besides paypal and venmo but yeah why are they doing that and why are they doing this as a result one has to wonder why darpa has its hands in a system that not only studies social norms but identifies violations that are bound to happen within any social environment. Well, obviously it is for punishment. And when we look at that and what happened this last week, last weekend,
Starting point is 02:18:33 I haven't talked about this yet. Here we are on Thursday. It's almost a week now since Jamie Foxx was identified as being anti-Semitic. Now, if you remember Jamie Foxx, the last we saw of him in the social media soap opera, what was happening, all the talk was about these severe health issues that he had. Is he dying from the vaccine, or did he have a stroke, or something like that? And now that he's back out, he was in a very serious situation. And as I say, there's no atheists in foxholes.
Starting point is 02:19:12 Well, maybe the situation that Jamie Foxx was in, maybe that drove the atheists right out of him. But he came back talking about Jesus. And then he put up something that they immediately flagged as racist. And this is what he had to say. He said, they killed this dude named Jesus. What do you think they'll do to you? And immediately that was grabbed by an organization that profits off of claims of anti-Semitism.
Starting point is 02:19:45 The account for a Jewish author and attorney is what? Howard A. Atlaw. He puts that up and just says, anti-Semitism. Did he say who they were? You know, a lot of people had a hand in the execution of Jesus, didn't they? The Romans executed under Pontius Pilate. So is it the Italians? Are we talking about the Italians?
Starting point is 02:20:13 And when they talk about the Jews and the Bible, it's typically talking about the leadership, you know, the hypocritical leadership that, you know, would go through all the outward signs of compliance, but they really were looking to get him, you know, because he would heal somebody on the Sabbath or something like that. So that's typically talking about the general leadership. But, of course, the people in Jerusalem in general said, give us Barabbas. But, of course, Jesus was Jewish, and so were his disciples,
Starting point is 02:20:48 and so were many of the early Christians. For quite a while, we're all Jewish. So just talking about Jesus, though, gets this Jewish attorney to label this as anti-Semitism. And it's not just the people there. It's not just the Jewish leaders and the Roman leaders and the general population there that was there for Passover. Jesus said, I lay down my life.
Starting point is 02:21:17 No one is taking this from me. I'm laying down my own life. He laid down his life. And the Father gave Jesus, gave his life, as illustrated with Abraham. So there's all these different aspects of it. But, of course, we're going to make this about anti-Semitism, right? The sad thing is that Jamie Foxx is so afraid of being canceled. He's so afraid of the culture and the cancel mob that he groveled before this stuff.
Starting point is 02:21:47 He says, I do not support any form of anti-Semitism. I truly don't tolerate hate of any kind, period. And I'm sorry, that's not him. That was Jennifer Aniston, who was also accused, who accused him with that. And so, you know, for once I'd like to log onto this site and not see anti-Semitism, especially from huge celebrities like Jamie Foxx and Jennifer Aniston. She says, I don't do that. You know, leave me alone.
Starting point is 02:22:17 You have to stop cowering in fear when people attach pejorative labels to us. Yeah. Oh, you're a conspiracy theorist or this or that. You're an anti-vaxxer. You're a climate denier. You're this or that. And it's like, well, you know, some of those things, I understand how you put those terms together to try to make it a pejorative term, but I don't deny climate, but I deny what you were saying about climate. And I don't think that this is a conspiracy because you people have talked about what you're going to do with the World Economic Forum. You've said it out loud, but it is a conspiracy. The interesting thing I find in all this stuff is that
Starting point is 02:23:03 Jamie Foxx has never been required to apologize for any of the racism in Django Unchained. It's okay to hate certain groups, as we know. Other groups are not okay. So no apology for that. No apology for that hate and racism and that so-called entertainment. And again, he groveled to everybody over this particular thing, which in and of itself is not an issue. A sex trafficker, we find, took all the girls to Planned Parenthood, says one survivor.
Starting point is 02:23:42 As everybody is talking about now, because of the sound of freedom, everybody's talking about sex trafficking and all the rest of this stuff, but we've known this for quite some time about Planned Parenthood. As we are struggling against the left, who is pushing back, and they are really motivated now to push hard on abortion. And many people who are conservatives and Christians are willing to just rest on their laurels. That's cool. We got that passed. Now, Roe v. Wade is gone. All right. We'll take that as a win. No, it's not a win. It's going to be a constant fight. These people
Starting point is 02:24:17 are never going to give up. And if you're going to fight them, you need to fight them with the truth and pointing out, as I have for many, many years, that Planned Parenthood has covered up statutory rape, rape of minors, and all the rest of this stuff. And as part of that, that also includes human trafficking of young children who are pregnant. What can ordinary people do about the trafficking? Well, we can talk about Planned Parenthood, right? You know, when you look at Sound of Freedom, everybody gets upset about, what do we do about this? Well, kill two birds with one stone.
Starting point is 02:24:55 Fight human trafficking and abortion by fighting Planned Parenthood. No one ever asked me anything, any time I ever went to a clinic clinic and we've seen this over and over again from planned parenthood according to at least three studies planned parenthood is one of the most common clinical settings to which sex traffickers bring their victims traffickers take the women and the girls that they abuse to planned parenth, because according to the survivors, Planned Parenthood does not ask questions. There's another huge opportunity for us in terms of defending innocent life and the
Starting point is 02:25:32 murders that have become institutionalized, that they want to re-institutionalize in many ways, and that is to talk about what was exposed with Planned Parenthood and with the nih people like fauci when they were executing babies for their organs killing them while they were alive as i've explained before it was necessary for them to kill them while they're alive in the same way it's necessary for the chinese communists to kill their political dissidents while they're alive in order to preserve the quality of the organs that they want to remove and then traffic trafficking in human organs. So think about that. If we were to stand up, for example, David Daleiden has been twisting in the wind for years in California.
Starting point is 02:26:18 Lala Harris as attorney general in California came after him for recording what these people were talking about in terms of their criminal contracts, murder for hire stuff. I want to get a Lamborghini and all the rest of the stuff. Uh, he was doing an investigation. Some of the stuff had already been talked about in Congress. So he had a legitimate way to do this. And so again, Lala Harris made it about him recording them rather than what they were actually doing. And the same way that the airline came after that flight attendant and said, you sent us pictures of an abortion, how hideous that is. Well, you were, you know, you were promoting abortion. This is what you're promoting. And the same thing that Hillary Clinton did with her Russiagate red herring.
Starting point is 02:27:15 To say, well, don't look at what I was doing with the classified documents. Who was it that exposed all this stuff? They must be with Russia. That type of thing. So it's very easy for them to redirect attention. We need to do the opposite. We need to redirect attention to this poor guy, David Daleiden, with the Center for Medical Progress, who's been twisting in the wind for years fighting this stuff.
Starting point is 02:27:33 And we need to talk about it. I talk about it, but for the most part, people have forgotten him. And if you were to talk about that and focus on it, you would show so many things. You would show, because it's part of his ordeal, discovery documents show that one of his big customers is Fauci and the NIH and people like that, people that ilk. And what were they doing with the organs? Well, they were creating humanized mice, another abomination. So you're murdering babies that are alive.
Starting point is 02:28:06 You're using the organs that you extract out of them to create humanized mice and to create genetic code injections for people and the rest of this stuff. Planned Parenthood is doing this knowingly and willingly. NIH is doing it knowingly and willingly. You're identifying these
Starting point is 02:28:21 criminals. That's a far worse crime than what Rand Paul is so concerned about in Wuhan, frankly. you're identifying these criminals, that's a far worse crime than what Rand Paul is so concerned about in Wuhan, frankly. Yeah, they're there to create gain of function and it could get out of hand. And the good news is that even if they tried to do it, they weren't able to do it this last time. But what are they doing right now?
Starting point is 02:28:40 What is Fauci's people doing? They are killing kids, murder for hire, and Planned Parenthood is part of it. Expose Planned Parenthood, expose this corrupt federal government, and all the rest of the stuff. But no, we're not going to talk about that any more than we're going to talk about what the vaccine is doing to people. And the health consequences of sex trafficking and their implications
Starting point is 02:28:59 for identifying victims in health care facilities, that's a study. Researchers found that almost a third of human sex trafficking survivors had been taken to a Planned Parenthood affiliate. 29.6% of them had been taken there. Laura, who said she was so young that she needed a waiver to be examined, spoke about her time on the street,
Starting point is 02:29:25 kidnapping her, putting her into prostitution on the street. She said, I went to hospitals, urgent care clinics, women's health clinics, and private doctors. No one ever asked me anything anytime I ever went to a clinic. I was on birth control during the 10 years I was on the streets, mostly Depo-Provera shots, which I got at Planned Parenthood and other neighborhood clinics. I got the morning after pill from them as well, she said. Another survivor explained she got pregnant six times while being trafficked and had six abortions. She said, at least one of my abortions was from Planned Parenthood
Starting point is 02:30:06 because they didn't ask any questions. I had so much scar tissue from these abortions, and in a couple of cases, I had bad infections. So bad that I eventually lost my fallopian tubes and had to have a hysterectomy. So, if you're upset about Sound of Freedom, you can do something about it. Focus on Planned Parenthood. If you're upset about Fauci and the rest of the stuff, you can do something about it.
Starting point is 02:30:36 You can focus on Planned Parenthood. You can focus on what they're doing to David Daleiden and the Center for Medical Progress and his investigation. But instead, we're going to focus on things like UFOs and Trump. The decades-long saga of unidentified flying objects is barreling headlong into one of two stunning conclusions. This is from an op-ed piece at The Hill. And they say, either the U.S. government has mounted an extraordinary decades-long cover-up
Starting point is 02:31:15 of UFO retrieval and reverse engineering activities. That's one possibility. Or elements of the defense and intelligence establishment are engaging in a staggeringly brazen psychological disinformation campaign. But they point out that either way, it's going to have profound implications for democracy and the role of government. So if they've been lying to us, by the way, they have been lying to us about any number of things.
Starting point is 02:31:42 It's not just UFOs. Lying to us about any number of things. It's not just UFOs. Lying to us about everything. As the FBI agent said, he got that right. He might be kind of naive about the FBI itself. But, you know, he had an honest perspective on it. I'm sure he worked with other honest people, and that colored his perspective of the agency in a different way than those of us who are on the outside and have looked at the history of Jagger Hoover,
Starting point is 02:32:07 even before he was able to create that agency. But nevertheless, he also worked with CIA people. And as he pointed out, you know, they'll lie just because I like to lie and they'll lie to the ambassador, the light, anybody, you know, the U S ambassador, anybody, just like loose cannons lined ever. Well you know, the U.S. ambassador, anybody. They're just like loose cannons lying to everybody. Well, that's the government all over, right? That's the government in every branch of it lying.
Starting point is 02:32:31 There's good people that are there, and they tend to project in the same way we're talking about. You just can't imagine, like that pastor I talked about at the beginning of the show, can't imagine that the AUTF would have done the types of things that they did. Or good people who have an interaction with child protective services. I can't imagine that there would be people who would do the types of things that they do. And so, you know, we tend to view other people, you know, and like that until we're burned. And then once you're burned, it's like then you start to get really skeptical and cynical about everybody.
Starting point is 02:33:07 You flip the other way. That's kind of where I am right now, to be honest about it. So I said, well, this is going to have big implications for the role of government, the role of democracy. People might realize, yeah, the government's just lying to us about everything. Or perhaps it might have big, you know, if it is true, humanity's place in the cosmos. Well, I don't think so. Because, again, this isn't anything that really conflicts with my understanding or my cosmology of any of this stuff. If true, if true. I just understand that it is a demonic activity, and I think the deception
Starting point is 02:33:48 can be run through the government as partners in all this stuff, or they can do it on their own against the government, whatever. You look at these conspiracies many times. People talk about the bloodlines of Illuminati and all this other stuff. I think this goes on for multiple generations because it's being done at a supernatural level. And they find different people to fill in for them. And then as that person's getting old and passing on, they find somebody else that's going to help them as well. This last weekend, I don't know what box office bomb
Starting point is 02:34:23 Hollywood's getting ready to drop this weekend. I don't track what box office bomb Hollywood's getting ready to drop this weekend. I don't track that stuff anymore. But this last weekend, Disney dropped The Haunted Mansion. What makes them think that people really care? They have become so derivative that they not only have done, like, now three or four versions of every one of the Disney classics that Walt Disney did, done it every way. First we'll redo it as a, you know, animation, then a computer animation.
Starting point is 02:34:50 Then we'll redo it with real people and all the rest of this stuff. And it's like, how many times are you going to shoot the same thing over and over again? You got no new ideas. And now they're even at the point where they're doing that with the rides at Disney World and Disneyland. You know, the jungle ride or whatever. And they did one about the Haunted Mansion. Total bomb. Total bomb.
Starting point is 02:35:16 But maybe the Haunted Mansion is something of a metaphor for Disney itself, isn't it? The whole thing has turned into something of a joke, a haunted mansion where the creativity has long since walked away. You know, I used to think when I look at the Disney things, and I would always hear from Christians, well, you know, there's a lot of occult stuff, even in Walt Disney's stuff. Yeah, a lot of magic, the Magic Kingdom and this and that. And I used to look at it and think, well, maybe they're being a little bit too critical. Maybe they are.
Starting point is 02:35:46 Walt Disney was doing it. The fantasy aspect allowed him, you know, from picking up on these European folk stories and stuff, allowed him to create a fantasy world that suited the animation stuff and everything. But, you know, it's been going on for so long that Disney really has made no question about how dark and occultic it wants to be. Even to the extent that, you know, and their desperate lack of creativity and imagination, they're now going back and recycling, not only the shows, not only their rides, but they're also going back and now
Starting point is 02:36:21 making movies about the various villains and making them into kind of heroes that's uh where disney is right now there is absolutely no question that this current disney is caught up into the occult into the lgbt stuff and everything else of course and so as um movie guide uh ted bear who has movie guide he said disney's haunted mansion bombs at the box office due to its occult themes 24 and a half million dollar mark uh marks one of the lowest starts among disney's live action remakes and they were not great to start with. Reimagining a theme park attraction. They made $24.5 million. You know, The Sound of Freedom is now up in the $160 million, whatever.
Starting point is 02:37:14 And that was a movie that they owned and did not want to release because when they bought over the other studio that had produced it, Fox, it performed worse than the experts expected. They predicted that it would at least break $30 million. It struggled to draw in family audiences due to its emphasis on occultism and on unbiblical views of the supernatural. And the movie guy, they said, the new Haunted Mansion has some funny, exciting, scary moments,
Starting point is 02:37:40 but its ghost story lacks any credibility. Also, the demonic villain doesn't show up until the second act. It's got a strong occult worldview, false occult theology. Its ending is one that is so occult that Hollywood would do better if it takes a Christian approach to the supernatural like the movie Nefarious, which I've not seen. I'm not recommending that. I don't recommend anything that people are putting out in the movies anymore, quite frankly.
Starting point is 02:38:06 But again, you know, we go back and look at the UFOs. They are largely, especially what is happening right now, our viewpoint of all the UFOs, that has been a creation of Hollywood and the intelligence community, giving scripts to Hollywood. They've been working on this big reveal, whether it is coming from the intelligence community or whether it's coming from the supernatural community. They've been working on this thing my entire life, even longer than my eternal life. We'll be right back. Decoding the mainstream propaganda. It's the David Knight Show. Well, we had Mark Twain say everybody talks about the weather, but nobody does anything about it.
Starting point is 02:39:18 Those were the good old days. And now they talk about the weather so they can do things and take things from us. And so you see this type of thing coming out of CBS News and USA Today. Everybody in the mainstream media has got articles that are like this. July was the Earth's hottest month ever. Ever. No. No, and I'll tell you why that's a lie.
Starting point is 02:39:40 The EU's climate service is saying this. Other agencies are saying this. And they're warning of dire consequences. Well, again, you know, when we look at this, temperatures in Austin, for example, you know, when we were there, they're on the streak of triple-digit days of temperature still going. And it was very hot when we were there.
Starting point is 02:40:06 And it's something of a long streak. But of course, they don't have records going back all that long, really. And yet, even just a year ago, when you look at the weather, when we moved in May of 2022, it was over 100 degrees every day in May. Now this year it wasn't like that. This year it was quite a bit cooler. And so is this climate change? Is this ramping up? Is this a ratcheting effect? And just in the last couple of days, Karen and I were comparing temperatures, again, going back and looking at what is happening, in the places where we've lived in North Carolina, here in Tennessee and in Texas.
Starting point is 02:40:51 And I said, yeah, look, it's going to be such and such a temperature. And she said, well, my app says this. We started comparing temperatures different places. And they were off one, two, as much as four degrees. And that was the current temperature. So where's that coming from? I'm sure that every one of these apps, every one of these weather services
Starting point is 02:41:13 has got a thermometer somewhere. You know, they're not just making this stuff up. They're getting a reading off of a thermometer. But you know, you go to a town and you say, tell me the temperature in Raleigh or something. And one website or one app has got a thermometer in one place in Raleigh, another one's got it somewhere else. And they're getting a temperature variation of several degrees. And we're told that if you have a temperature variation of just one and a half degrees centigrade, that the entire planet's going to die.
Starting point is 02:41:46 And yet we're looking at four degrees Fahrenheit difference over a city or so. It has a great deal to do with where they put the thermometers, doesn't it? Obviously. Some of the thermometers are going to be on airport tarmacs and others are going to be in different places. And there's a thing called the urban heat island phenomenon. And so this is what is being milked by the media and by governments in order to take everything from you. They're all talking about the weather. They want to do something to you, not about the weather. Of course, they are doing things about the weather as well. They're doing geoengineering as well. But, you know, they've got to take your car. They've got to take your barbecue grill.
Starting point is 02:42:30 They've got to take your air conditioning and heating. And this is the way they'll typically put it in the mainstream media. July's sizzling numbers are all in. And it's official. It's sizzling and it's official. And we're boiling. July 2023 was Earth's hottest month on record and by a wide margin. July's global average temperature of 62.5 degrees Fahrenheit was six-tenths of a degree higher than the previous record set in 2019.
Starting point is 02:43:03 Again, where did these come from? Are we allowed to know? Will they show you their data? Will they talk about how long is their record? Oh, this is something that's a new record. Well, how long is your record? You know, we haven't been taking temperature measurements all over the world for very long. As a matter of fact, they don't even today take temperature records all over the world. That's why we had that situation not too long ago where they said, look at this. We had a jump of like 40 degrees at both of the poles. Oh, really? Turns out they don't have any temperature measurement stuff there. They had a model and the model flubbed. So it jumped by 50. I said, this is when I saw it, this is not possible. You couldn't jump by 50 degrees at the pole and, you know, not affect the weather in other places.
Starting point is 02:43:47 And, um, they admitted, you know, went up for 50 degrees for a day or two and then went back to normal again. Uh, so is this based on your computer model? Is this actually a thermometer? Is it satellite data? Uh, where are the thermometers placed? Uh, how extensive are the measurements? Where are the locations? placed? How extensive are the measurements? Where are the locations? Normally, global temperature records are broken by hundredths or by a tenth of a degree. So this wide margin is unusual. Well, these are the people who will fight like demons in order to hide their data about climate, just as they did about COVID.
Starting point is 02:44:22 And they cannot be trusted with any of this stuff. These records have dire consequences for both people and planet, says CBS. Exposed to ever more frequent and intense extreme events. Human-caused greenhouse gas emissions, anthropogenic, are the main driver of these rising temperatures. Now, here's another assertion that is separate from whether or not there is warming. And that is what is causing it. Oh, well, they're certain that it's your car and your gas range. We are in uncharted territory and we can expect more records to fall,
Starting point is 02:45:04 said Director of climate services and of course that's what he gets paid to say uh so they say well um these are this is really serious you know we got climate records copernicus this database this records go back to 1940 seriously you're going to discount all the other ways that we have of measuring temperature, even the ice cores that they take in Antarctica, showing that the temperature was significantly higher several thousand years ago. And these are people who tell us that the world is billions of years old, but they've got temperature records going back to 1940. And they don't want to look at the ice cores that go back thousands of years.
Starting point is 02:45:45 And it's organizations like the Imperial College of London that fed us that garbage at the beginning of the lockdown in March. No, these are the self-serving liars of academia that are putting all of this stuff out. And there was a very interesting article that we're going to get to here. Actually, not an article, but a report by John Stossel. We interviewed one of these people who woke up to everything that was happening. She was a climate scientist, and she woke up to all this stuff when ClimateGate happened.
Starting point is 02:46:17 But again, the alarmism, you know, extreme, hellish, boiling, deadly. As an Epoch Times article said, these words and then some are being used by politicians and media to describe this summer. A stark reminder of the urgent need for collective action to address climate change. Yes, we need a collectivist economic society and a complete overthrow of society and take everything from you. You know, because of what I'm telling you about the measurements here. Phoenix, Arizona did have a particularly hot July with preliminary data showing an average high temperature of 114 degrees. The average high temperature from 1991 to 2020 was 106 degrees. Again, what does this mean? Do you think the sun has something to do with our temperature? Do you
Starting point is 02:47:04 think the sun varies in intensity? We know that it goes through solar cycles. Let's not even talk about that, right? The temperature readings were recorded at the Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport on the tarmac in the sun. And I've said many times, you know, when we'd be in Raleigh, not even a big town, Raleigh, and we'd look at the temperature on our car thermometer and then drive out into the woods where we lived, typically we'd see about a four degree drop.
Starting point is 02:47:35 So where are you going to put your temperature? And these are people telling us that the entire world is going to die if we have a one and a half degree difference. And they're saying, well, we got about a, you know, what was it, a few tenths of a degree change this year? And they're freaking out. Houston, Texas experienced 10 degree higher than average temperatures in July. The station located in Houston International Airport recorded an average daily temperature of 97.7.
Starting point is 02:48:02 Still, in rural towns like Water Valley, the temperature swings were nowhere near as extreme. Their average July temperature there was 99.8 degrees compared to its prior average of 97 degrees. Maybe they don't have an airport. Think about that. As a matter of fact, when we were in Texas, we were looking at what it was saying was the current temperature,
Starting point is 02:48:26 and then I was looking at the temperature that was on the car. It wasn't the same, because they were probably taking their temperature at the airport. For the U.S.'s whole, the last 10 years have produced only an average number of records. The 1930s are still the champs for producing the most 100 plus temperature days in a year. And that was a period of time when we really did have climate change, and then the climate changed again. That was when we had the Dust Bowl. Areas of, and this is important, listen to this about the urban heat islands. It's not just the airport tarmacs and locating the thermometers there. Areas of high population and infrastructure experience higher temperatures, which in turn influence large-scale area average temperatures because most of these are located where people
Starting point is 02:49:19 live and where they work, said a climatologist, a former NASA scientist, now a principal research scientist at the University of Alabama in Huntsville. He calls it the urban heat island. He says as we progress to higher population stations, we find that urban heat island warming effect becomes larger. And so if we're seeing an overall increase, it may be because of the urban heat island issue, plus where they locate the thermometers. But again, everybody is focusing on the bigger cities, and the bigger cities are getting hotter. Hot times somewhere in the city, as Loving Spoonful used to say.
Starting point is 02:49:58 If you believe the consensus climate scientists, then the urban heat island effect doesn't really amount to much. But in fact, it does. And even fairly small places with asphalt will experience that effect, especially on airport tarmacs where they're making their measurements. To get a more accurate reading of the Earth's fluctuating surface temperatures in general, Mr. Spencer and another scientist, Christy, developed a global temperature data set from microwave data observed from satellites. They started their project in 1989, and they analyzed data going back to 1979. With global coverage by the satellites, we could compute the true globally averaged air temperature. And in 1991, they were awarded by NASA a medal for exceptional scientific achievement for their work. That's why there's a big difference between these reported thermometers by the apps and by these other people,
Starting point is 02:50:58 as in addition, the difference between that and the satellite data. It's hot in some places and not in others. Globally, the temperatures continue to creep upward, but note that the 19th century was one of the coldest in the last 10,000 years. And if you look at ClimateGate, they knew that, and they were talking specifically about that. We've got to hide this decline. Let's start a different time.
Starting point is 02:51:24 Let's cherry-pick where we're going to begin and end. And of course, you know, administrations do that all the time. We saw Biden doing that with the price of gasoline. Let's talk about the price of gasoline versus six months ago or a year ago, instead of where it was two years ago, that type of thing. Here's John Stossel. and he gives this report, and look at this. This is about the climate, but it is as disgusting and clownish as the dancing hypodermic needles that Stephen Colbert was doing. This is John Oliver talking about science. He is the court jester of these climate other clowns. I'm going to bring out two people who agree with you climate skeptic. I'm also going to bring out 96 other scientists.
Starting point is 02:52:13 The smog media mock so-called skeptics. What is the overwhelming view of the entire scientific community? community. What a disgusting display. The consensus is so strong there shouldn't even be a debate. This whole debate should not have happened. I apologize to everyone at home. Climate alarmists claim there's an overwhelming scientific consensus, but it's a manufactured consensus. Researcher Judith Curry says climate scientists have an incentive to exaggerate risk. Why? What's in it for them? Fame and fortune. She knows about that because she wants spread alarm about climate change. And the media loved her when she published this study saying there was an increase in hurricane intensity. We found that the percent of Category 4 and 5 hurricanes had doubled.
Starting point is 02:53:13 Really? Doubled? And so this was picked up by the media. Alarmists said, oh, here's the way to do it. It being, get the public alarmed. Climate change is making hurricanes stronger and more destructive. Tie extreme weather events to global warming. So this hysteria is your fault? Well, sort of. Not really. They would have picked up on it anyways.
Starting point is 02:53:36 But Curry's more intense hurricanes gave them fuel. I was adopted by the environmental advocacy groups and the alarmists, and I was treated like a rock star. What does that mean, treated like a rock star? Oh my God, I was flown all over the place to meet with politicians. Oh, there's Jeb Bush. And give these talks and lots of media attention. But then some researchers pointed out gaps in her research, years with low levels of hurricanes.
Starting point is 02:54:03 So like a good scientist, I went in and investigated all that stuff. She realized her critics were right. Part of it was bad data. Part of it is natural climate variability. So you're the unusual researcher who looks at criticism of your paper and actually concluded they had a point. They had a point for sure. Then the Climategate scandal taught Curry that many researchers aren't so open-minded. Leaked emails showed university climate scientists conspiring to hide data. It showed a lot of really ugly things. Avoiding Freedom of Information Act requests, trying to get journal editors fired from their job. One email read, if you think this Yale professor is in the skeptics camp, get him ousted. Seeing emails like that made Curry realize
Starting point is 02:54:53 that climate change fanatics had corrupted the science because there's a climate change industry set up to reward alarmism. The origins go back to the 1980s and the UN environmental program. Yeah, pretty amazing, isn't it? And of course, I got involved with the ClimateGate stuff as well, seeing Michael Mann, who went to the mat to hide his lies, to hide his data and all the rest of the stuff on Rumble. RCF2020, thank you very much for the tip. And thank you for the quote.
Starting point is 02:55:25 This is a great quote. He says, well, no, our disinformation program is complete when everything the American public believes is false. And that was by William Casey, CIA director. He said that in 1981. By the way, that was the guy who masterminded the Iran-Contra stuff. The guy who got Ronald Reagan elected and all the rest of this. Yeah, Bill Casey.
Starting point is 02:55:49 Wild Bill Casey. And it looks like, you know, their disinformation program is getting pretty close to being completed, doesn't it? Seems like almost everything we know is false. As a matter of fact, it's kind of interesting to see even the mainstream media is talking about solar activity being higher than usual. Nobody's going to connect the dots to that, I'm sure, though. The solar flare knocks out radio across the U.S., and it won't be the last time. The sun has been very active lately, sending out
Starting point is 02:56:18 scorching flares and frying communication systems back on Earth. Is it boiling us? Yeah. The latest one was recorded on Monday when an X-class solar flare disrupted radio and navigation signals across North America. It was the 20th X-flare of the current 11-year solar cycle due to reach its peak next year. You see, they understand the sun goes through cycles. They understand that we're in a high cycle. They understand these things about heat islands and variations in terms of data. As a matter of fact, they talk to each other about how they can hide the data. They talk to each other about how they can destroy anybody
Starting point is 02:56:55 that pushes back against their narrative. And we've seen this with the COVID MacGuffin as well. That's a standard way that they operate. The sun has seen a flurry of activity on its surface this year, multiple coronal holes on our star. But they will take things like, for example, the Maui wildfires. That will, of course, be used to talk about our SUVs having to be taken away, having to be banned from us.
Starting point is 02:57:26 You just wait. They haven't started talking about it yet, but they will. Oh, any extreme event, anything that's bad, that is absolutely because of your range and your oven and the rest of this. Steve Malloy, junk science, said, well, here's some points. He said, Antarctic sea ice volume is the same as it was in 1980. Antarctica has not warmed in 70 years. There is no long-term trend in Antarctic sea ice extent. Most Antarctic sea ice is thin and easily moved around by the wind. We don't really understand much of the natural world, so we should avoid jumping to rash and politicized conclusions of climate alarmists.
Starting point is 02:58:14 He said that in response to a Reuters article. Dr. Eli David said, here's a picture of Italy. A snowstorm in the mountains with the lowest temperature on record in mid-July. And we supposedly have global boiling. Yeah, that's mid-July in Italy. Okay. Yeah. Again, if it is global warming, we're not seeing that everywhere. We're seeing
Starting point is 02:58:45 differences of weather. And the Washington Post says this is the hottest July we've had in 125,000 years. Now, that is not only a lie, but it is an absurd lie. As I point out, we've only been collecting data since 1979, so you don't even have reliable records going back 100 years, let alone 125,000 years. And if you look at the cores, which I tried to get an example of that in the Antarctic, you would see that we're not even close to what the temperature used to be a few thousand years ago. It's not possible to claim that July was the hottest month
Starting point is 02:59:31 in the history of civilization. That kind of data doesn't exist. Even the notion of an average global temperature is a doubtful proposition. Whether you believe the high end of the average global temperature, which is 62.5 degrees Fahrenheit, or the low end, which is 57.5 degrees. Do you notice the difference there? We got a five degree difference. And this is coming from, just as I said before, you know, different apps give us different things. Well, even when they do the global temperature,
Starting point is 03:00:06 they get two different sets of data, and they differ by five degrees. And if we actually had warming of one and a half degrees, according to their theories, we would all be dying as the polar ice caps melted. So, again, the same kind of variation we get out of contemporaneous temperatures from apps, they're seeing that as well. And so John Stossel in his article is talking about the government-funded climate alarmism complex. And it really is. And it really is disgusting to see John Oliver.
Starting point is 03:00:41 I don't watch him. So, you know, he's probably that disgusting every night. But when you look at what he's done and what Stephen Colbert has done in terms of pushing these MacGuffins, they're not even clever satire. It's cringe satire. She said, as you heard, that the climate gate had activated her. Well, that of us when i saw that i could not unsee it and yet biden goes on with the weather channel the guy who founded the weather channel one of the biggest climate skeptics you'll ever see because he really didn't understand the weather and so biden goes on with the weather channel to tell them that for all practical purposes he has already declared a climate emergency yeah i should be very concerned
Starting point is 03:01:30 thank you for joining us The David Knight Show is a critical thinking super spreader. If you've been exposed to logic by listening to The David Knight Show, please do your part and try not to spread it. Financial support or simply telling others about the show causes this dangerous information to spread farther. People have to trust me. I mean, trust the science. Wear your mask. Take your vaccine.
