You're listening to The David Knight Show.
As the clock strikes 13, it's Wednesday, the 10th of May, year of our Lord, 2023.
Well, today we've got a lot to talk about.
We've had President Trump found guilty of sexual assault, as the New York Post put it.
They grabbed him by the wallet.
Not found guilty of rape.
We may talk a little bit about that.
It's not really the key thing.
It may have an impact on the election. I seriously doubt it. Nothing is going to impact the stars in the
eyes of the MAGA people, but we will talk about E-Verify again. It's coming up for vote tomorrow.
There is a silver lining in it that I'll tell you about, But we need to be very concerned about this because the widespread support that E-Verify has with conservative Republicans, they cannot see the broader
principles involved. They're so blinded by their obsession with one individual issue that is a
problem. It's an inside job. Oh, and we'll talk about that as well. We're going to talk about Building 7 as I had a listener say that he disagrees with me.
Well, we'll have to agree to disagree.
I'll tell you a little bit more why I think that it really was taken down deliberately.
Well, let's begin with E-Verify today.
And I had a listener who contacted me and said, thank you for putting this out.
I've sounded the alert to other people.
Well, no, it was really thanks to Thomas Massey who put this out.
I was not aware that this was inside the bill
that is going to be voted on tomorrow,
supported by all Republicans except for him and Dan Crenshaw,
who opposes it because he said it doesn't do anything about the drug cartels
and control of the border.
Well, that's true as well.
It is virtue signaling.
And it's also the here's the good news.
It's not going to pass.
It probably won't pass.
It'll pass in the House and they'll use it to virtue signal.
It probably won't pass in the Senate.
And if it did, it'll be vetoed by Biden.
It's kind of like the bills that the Republicans put up against CBDC. And of course, the lead
person in that was Emmer, who is the number three person in the Republican Party. He's the whip.
Scalise was there opposing CBDC. And it's just head spinning to me that this takes us so much of the way
towards CBDC.
And yet it has become a favorite thing for the Republicans.
It's one of the dangers when we don't focus on issues and we don't
understand what the precedents are that they are setting.
And we attach ourselves to people,
to politicians or to political parties.
They can really blind us. And so I covered it on Monday because I saw it happening in Florida
and it will be passed in Florida. It's been passed by the legislature. It's awaiting the
governor's signature and he wants to sign it. And E-Verify has been around for a while,
but it's not been mandated.
It's been voluntary.
That's a big difference.
A big difference.
Didn't we have a lot of people saying,
well, you know, Trump's not going to mandate the vaccine.
Biden will.
Biden did it with a mandate and a passport
and all the rest of this stuff.
That's what this is.
And Thomas Massey was exactly right to say,
well, maybe you can understand it
if instead of calling it E-Verify,
we call it V-Verify, vaccine verify.
And it'll be used for all of those types of things in the future.
And so I talked about what was happening as the law was passed last week in Florida, waiting for the signature of DeSantis.
I talked about it on Monday.
Then I saw that Thomas Massey was talking about a federal version of it,
a national version of it.
And I talked about it yesterday, called it a Trojan horse.
Now we've got Reason.
We have Mises Institute.
All of them have picked this up to talk about the danger of E-Verify.
And we should talk about that regardless of whether or not this bill will pass
because this is something that has been a favorite quote unquote solution to the border problem from the very beginning for the Republicans.
And so Reason Magazine says Thomas Massey says nationally verify would be bad for American workers.
And he's right.
And Reason, of course, takes more of a approach as to how is this going to affect business
and the economic aspects of it.
But look, let me give another example to conservatives about this.
And that is, think of this in the same way that you think about gun control and whether or not it is going to we should take guns away from people because they are, you know, it's because it's some criminal commits a crime.
Should we take away guns from law abiding citizens because we've got some lunatic or because we've got some terrorist or because fill in the blank, right?
But we should take away our ability to work because we've got cartels and terrorists and because we've got illegal aliens coming across the border.
So all of us should have to prove that we are citizens, right?
It's the same kind of logic that the left applies to gun control.
Because we have a criminal action out here,
because we've got somebody who's crazy,
but mainly criminals who are violating the law,
drug cartels who are shooting it out on the streets of Chicago,
well, then we should all lose our guns.
Because we've got cartels and because we've got people violating the law
coming across the border we should all lose our ability to have the freedom to work wherever
whenever we wish without the permission of government right that's the the analogy to draw
here i don't see anybody talking about that but that's the same kind of mentality on the right
in this case just as it is on the left. Why is it? Because they're tribal.
Because they're partisan.
Because they're not thinking about the bigger picture.
And because they hate something, they immediately grab for their only tool, the federal government.
And that's true of conservatives as well as it is liberals.
When they really care about an issue, they want to make a federal case out of it.
They want to use the federal government to do it.
So, yeah, the Secure Border Act of 2023.
When I saw this, I thought,
that's just like the Patriot Act.
And as a matter of fact, I think it was,
we have it in here, I think it was Thomas Massey who said it's another version of just call it Patriot Act 2.0. That's what he said.
And he's right about that. Let's understand too, that, you know, many times you'll have these
shootings and many people on the right will, you know, they see how quickly the left jumps to gun
control. They say, well, this has got to be a false to gun control they say well this has got to be a
false flag sometimes they are now this has got to be a false flag this has got to be engineered
well let me tell you the border problem is engineered the border problem is an inside
job just like 9-11 it was an inside job just like the plandemic and it is also being engineered
it's being engineered by ngos remember i I talked to Michael Yan down there in Panama,
and he was talking about how the NGOs are bringing people in from foreign countries.
This isn't just Mexico.
It's not simply Central America or South America.
These people are coming from all over the world.
And they know, depending on the country of origin,
which country they should use as a point of injection into the Americas.
What part of Central or South America should they inject these people
based on their country of origin?
And then they finance them coming up.
This is a conspiracy against us.
And to punish American citizens by making us get permission for a job
does not do anything to solve the problem. It doesn't address the problem. And of course,
they'd never do. Just like the liberals don't address the problem. Why do we have people
grabbing guns and shooting people today when guns were far more readily available,
especially in schools when I was a child and that wasn't happening anywhere. Why is that? What has changed?
What's going on with the SSRIs?
What's going on with the grooming and the gaslighting and the pressures that are being
put on children at a young age?
What's going on with all this stuff, right?
No, we don't want to look at the fundamental causes of anything.
We want to put a bandaid on there.
And let's put a bandaid on that's going to be an authoritarian law enforcement approach,
just like the drug war itself.
Drug usage is a spiritual problem.
It is also a medical problem.
It's also a social problem, but it's not a law enforcement problem.
You'll never solve it.
Why can't we admit that after 50 years of this failed program, that it's not law
enforcement is not going to solve it.
It's like I say many times, when you merge politics and religion, you have an official
state religion, state church or something like that. Well, guess what? It kills the religion.
It kills the church and politics takes it over. Same thing is true when you talk about drug prohibition, it's not going to solve
anything instead, what it does is it turns into a new type of program, a new type of
problem.
And that is what we've seen with the corruption of the drug war.
So, um, you know, we need to, um, understand part of the problem with the border, with it being an inside job.
Not only do we have NGOs that are financing it and pushing people in.
Not only do we have the CIA's drug war responsible for the cartels at the border.
You're not going to see Dan Crenshaw talk about the CIA and the drugs, right?
He's not going to go anywhere near what the problem is.
Instead, he's going to offer you a more authoritarian solution.
We need guns and drones and we need walls and we need whatever, you know,
make it a demilitarized zone, put concertina wire and explosives on the border,
whatever, you know, he'll never go to the root cause of it,
which is the CIA's drug war against Americans.
He won't go to the root cause of it.
And so what they do to pull people in, I mean, the NGOs are pushing people in,
but we are pulling people in.
We're offering them free education.
We're offering them better college benefits than we give to Americans.
They can get in-state tuition in any state as an illegal.
They come in, and as we saw during the pandemic,
we'll just waive all of these phony, baloney, they come in. And as we saw during the pandemic, we'll just wave all of these phony baloney
vouchee rules.
You know, you don't have to put a mask on your face.
We'll put you on a plane.
You don't have to wear a mask.
Don't worry about it.
You don't have to be vaccinated.
Don't worry about it.
Just come on in.
You can do whatever you want.
Uh, they get the welfare.
They get the voting without citizenship and, uh, they can avoid the medical
martial law.
So getting back to the E-Verify, this bandaid,
this quote unquote solution that is going to create another problem and not
solve the original problem.
Giving the government the ultimate on off switch for employment is the way
Thomas Massey talks about it.
Yeah.
People get upset about the fact that we'd have an internet kill switch.
What about an employment kill switch what are they going to use as a criteria to kill your ability
to have a job massey said i will not vote to require every american to get biden's permission
if they want to work giving the federal government more power over you is a mistake.
Why can't the Republicans understand this?
And I think the politicians do.
And what makes this dangerous is that we got demagogues like Nikki Haley,
demagoguing warmongers like Nikki Haley.
Oh, she's for sale to anybody.
She'll offer herself to Disney.
She'll offer herself to the military industrial complex.
She was one of these Valkyries like Teresa May trying to push us into an
escalated war and a Syria.
And of course they did put the troops in.
They just didn't tell anybody about it until we had a missile strike that
killed a troop and,
um,
you know, kill some people and somebody who was working there in the oil fields in Syria that we are occupying.
But yeah, she pushed to get a greater involvement in that.
Pushed several different versions of lies, she and Theresa May. Mandatory national E-Verify would mean more government meddling in the affairs of private businesses and more state control in general, says Reason Magazine.
Though it's, quote, being sold to you as a security measure, E-Verify is laying the foundation for a national biometric database that will be used for CBDCs.
It'll be used for a social credit system. It will give the state almost absolute power over your life.
That's a quote from Justin Amash.
He's absolutely a hundred percent right about that.
That is exactly what this is.
And we could see that this is what this was years ago, years ago, because you had, um, about the Trump administration.
I was concerned they were going to push it in because, um, uh, you know,
nothing was being done about the border then, but it was saying, you know,
make it mandatory.
It isn't hard to imagine that a government empowered to punish workers and
employers on the grounds of citizenship status could impose similar
punishments on other grounds.
A nationally verified bill contains vague references to two pilot programs
of non-photographic technology that you must use to prove your identity
to DHS in order to get a job.
This is Thomas Massey writing.
And I showed you the pictures of the documents.
He took a couple of snapshots of this bill.
So he says, why is that?
Why do we have non-photographic evidence that's going to be part of this?
What is it?
He said, is it going to be fingerprints?
Is it going to be DNA?
Is it going to be a retina scan?
Why not say it in the bill?
At this year's Cheltenham, glory rests in the lap of the gods.
Curses.
Alas, our hero hasn't placed. But there
are still divine offerings up for grabs, with
all NoviBet customers getting a 10 euro
free bet for every day of Cheltenham.
And on top of that, we're paying up
to seven places each way on selected
races throughout the festival.
I declare this a most generous offering.
NoviBet. More power

18 plus bet responsibly.
Gamblingcare.ie.
No, we're just going to create, see these two new programs and bureaucracies that are going to somehow look at biometric data.
But it's going to be open.
You know, we'll tell you the details later.
We've got to pass the bill to find out what's in it, as Nancy Pelosi would say, right?
Because that's the way these people operate.
And it's deliberate.
If they kick it over to the bureaucracy, or sometimes they create a bureaucracy,
give them vast powers over some area of our lives,
and then leave it up to the bureaucracy to fill in the devilish details.
And then when they get it devilish enough,
maybe if the people complain about it,
the Congress can say,
we didn't really have anything to do with that.
Those were rules that were put in by the bureaucracy.
So we'll fix that.
And they come in as if they are our saviors
to save us from these evil bureaucracies
when they turn the power over to them in the first place.
And that's what's going on here.
Oh, we're going to create some new programs.
What kind of programs?
Can I get any details?
Oh, we're not going to give you details.
It'll be biometric.
He said, is E-Verify actually Patriot Act 2.0?
There you go.
There's a quote.
Cato Institute said the system is ineffective at detecting illegal immigrant workers right now.
It's already there.
They said, what's more, the government's existing employment verification document, at detecting illegal immigrant workers right now. It's already there.
They said, what's more, the government's existing employment verification document,
the I-9 form, already costs employers an estimated 13.5 million man-hours each year.
And E-Verify does not give better outcomes for anybody.
E-Verify mistakenly identifies people as legally unable to work. Any program that is computerized and automated like that is going to do that. And they don't talk about it in their
article, but just think about the no-fly list. You have a secret list. You're not allowed to know
if you're on it. Well, you'll find out when they don't let you fly.
But then you can't find out why you're on it.
You were tried in absentia.
You were labeled by an unaccountable and invisible bureaucracy.
How do I get off?
There is no process to getting off.
This is straight out of a Kafka novel.
And so, you know, we create this star chamber process, which the eighth amendment was supposed to protect us against. It's nothing new human nature. The nature of men
in power has never changed. That's why we have the things that we have in the bill of rights.
And so we have this, uh, structure that's there and, um, it's weaponized and it's criminal and it's
unconstitutional and it's tyrannical and all the rest of these things.
But the Democrats want to extend it.
Let's make this a no buy list.
If you're dangerous enough to be on the no fly list,
like an eight year old child that they get the name wrong or something like
that.
Well,
if you're on the no fly list,
then you should be on a no buy list and we should stop you from buying guns as well this is the way these things metastasize and so how is it working
out already because we do have you verify as i said it's already there it's voluntary how many
people want to waste their time doing that well they said that supposedly it's only uh mislabeling 0.15% of the time.
So it gets it right, you know, 98 and a half percent of the time.
But what if this is applied to every American worker?
Well, they do the math and they say, well,
that means you'd have 187,000 people
who were labeled as unable to be employed because of a national database that mislabeled them.
That's only a small part of the problem. The big part of the problem is the fact that this jumps us
towards the final solution to control us. Whether you want to call it CBDC,
whether you want to call it the Mark of the Beast, whatever.
It jumps us in a big way to that.
It creates a biometric rationale for this.
It creates the infrastructure.
And it'll be done from the inside with disruption.
And it'll be done iteratively.
And this is part of the iterative process.
The idea has sticking power on the right.
Nikki Haley supports mandatory e-verify.
So do Florida Republicans last week that passed a bill.
So Nikki Haley supports it.
DeSantis supports it.
Another big strike against DeSantis there.
If passed by the House, however, the Secure Border Act will likely die
in the democratically controlled Senate.
And Biden has said he would veto it anyway, because he doesn't want to have
anything that's going to do, uh, he doesn't want to have any control of the border.
So for right now, that's the silver lining of that problem.
Yeah.
The border problem remains.
The border problem is exploding.
And, uh, yeah, they're not going to do anything about it.
And because there are some things in there that might have some efficacy,
he's going to veto it.
But this fascination with E verify that the Republicans have is very, very dangerous and it's not going to go away, especially because we have, uh, you
know, political candidates who are running for presidency embracing it left and right.
So to finish up the reason article, it says,
Massey is right, Congress shouldn't give the federal government
yet another opportunity to constrain civil liberties and privacy rights.
So again, we look at this.
Let me say, even though Trump is not talking about policy,
he's talking about himself as usual and about his issues and being a victim and all the rest of the stuff.
If he's ever reelected, you know, don't you, that he's going to jump on this with both feet.
E-Verify is very much like Operation Warp Speed, except for the border problem. Right?
Oh, we've got to do warp speed.
Anything that we can do.
We've got to do it.
Well, except that they're not going to let you do certain things like ivermectin.
They've got a particular solution in mind.
And they're going to run it through without knowing whether or not it's effective.
And they're going to run it through regardless of what it does to you.
The new immigration bill, says the Mises Institute, Ryan McMakin, is a Trojan horse.
That's what I called it on Monday.
Trojan horse.
And much of the bill contains reasonable provisions, such as allowing state attorneys general the
authority to sue the federal government for refusing to detain illegal aliens.
We have a border patrol that's run by the federal government for refusing to detain illegal aliens. We have border patrols run by the federal government.
We have the Department of Justice and so forth, Homeland Security.
They don't do anything to secure the homeland.
They have announced, well, we're not going to enforce the border laws.
We're going to defer enforcement.
They don't say defy the law.
They say we'll defer enforcement. And they've been
deferring it for many, many years now. E-Verify is essentially a federal surveillance program,
says the Mises Institute. It determines whether or not a person can legally be employed. Every
American should require the federal government's permission to work. The bill presents a clear and
present danger to basic American freedoms and property rights.
It'll build essential infrastructure that in the future will be used to implement social credit
scores, CBDC, the rest of the stuff. Restrictions for those who refuse maybe mandatory vaccines or
other mandates. E-Verify was initially implemented back in 1997. The program never was made mandatory at
the federal level, however. It has been pushed. It's about to be pushed in Florida and Colorado
and some other states. They've implemented alternative but similar state-administered
programs. And so this would mandate it nationwide for everyone, as is often the case. And here's the key.
I want to talk about the Mises Institute.
He makes a case to Republicans if they're listening.
He said, look at how these laws metastasize, how they're malleable, these laws, these agencies.
And conservatives and Republicans are happy to embrace more federal power and regulation when it suits their political agenda as he said if you go back to the war on terror conservatives and the gop
often promoted and approved new anti-terrorism legislation creating vast federal spying and
prosecutorial powers supporters often suppose that such powers could possibly only be used
against islamic terrorists and against official enemies of the Bush administration.
A federal spying apparatus has now been erected
and deployed against virtually all Americans.
And we just saw this the last couple of years.
Parents speaking out at a school board meeting
against Marxism, against racism, against grooming,
labeled as domestic extremists and terrorists by the federal government.
You don't have to imagine how this can be used.
We've seen how this type of thing has already been used.
So Thomas Massey, again, he's been all over this.
If, he says, heaven forbid, the the u.s government ever adopts a social
credit score national e-verify is one more tool that they can use to prevent honest people from
being a part of society believe what you will but it will have little impact on illegal immigration
into this country he says republicans are about to make a huge mistake.
Biden forced millions of Americans to take vaccines by threatening their jobs and turning employers
into enforcers. Imagine giving
Biden the ultimate on-off switch for employment called
E-Verify. You might as well just call it V-Verify.
And he points out that um um ryan mcmagan says this is something that ram paul not ram paul ron paul has been talking about for a long time again
the program goes back to 1997 in 2018 before we saw how what happened with the vaccine mandates. In 2018, Ron Paul said,
it'll be certainly used for purposes unrelated to immigration.
Potential use of E-Verify is to limit the job prospects of anyone
whose lifestyle displeases the government.
This could include those who are accused of failing to pay their fair share in taxes or those who homeschool.
And listen to this.
This is in 2018.
Ron Paul said, or those who do not vaccinate their children.
Or against those who own firearms.
Or maybe against those who speak up at school board meetings.
You see, this is a very important thing.
When we look at the CBDC, you are labeled as an enemy of the state.
You don't think correctly.
You challenge the narrative.
Well, there's ways that we can punish you, right?
And the Soviet Union, as Solzhenitsyn pointed out, has lived not by lies.
There'd be a real penalty to pay for that.
They could kick you out of your home because all the homes were owned by the government.
That's what they seek to do by 2030.
And this UN 2030 Marxist agenda,
they want all the homes to be owned by the government,
and they can kick you out of your home.
Or everybody works for the government, so they can take your job.
Or our version of it is they can keep you from getting a job
because they take you off of
the e-verify list oh but wait a minute this would be specifically for immigration right well as ryan
mcmacon points out take a look at what biden did in terms of using osha osha was not osha was the
choke point for threatening a lot of companies and saying,
you know, if you don't mandate this stuff, there's going to be, you know, punishment
done through OSHA.
That was never what OSHA was created for.
CMS was never created to force doctors and nurses to get vaccines, but that's how it
was used with economic pressure.
Anytime they have something that's got money involved
and economics involved and economic pressure can be applied
to coerce people, it will be used for that purpose.
It doesn't matter what the stated purpose is.
So, Lou Rockwell said in the tragedy of immigration enforcement,
the last thing this country needs is more federal bureaucrats shutting down more businesses.
So it'll gradually turn into a model or it'll turn into a hub for new programs that tie work eligibility
to any number of federal mandates and requirements for good and obedient citizens.
And so, you know, using those same examples that I just gave you.
We're going to take a quick break.
I just see a comment from Travis.
Evidently, this is on the Rumble or Rockfin or something.
Harps, one of our regular listeners and commentators in Australia,
has broken some ribs on Monday.
So please pray for his...

The common man.
They created common core to dumb down our children.
They created common past to track and control us.
Their commons project to make sure the commoners own nothing and the communist future.
They see the common man as simple,
unsophisticated, ordinary.
But each of us has worth and dignity
created in the image of God.
That is what we have in common.
That is what they want to take away.
Their most powerful weapons are isolation, deception, intimidation.
They desire to know everything about us while they hide everything from us.
It's time to turn that around and expose what they want to hide.

thedavidknightshow.com get the general news and of course um as i pointed out with this situation that we see with the pandemic,
everybody's saying, well, we won.
Everybody wants to claim victory.
But the key thing is that we have to understand that there is,
this is kind of the pause in the storm.
We're kind of like in the eye of the hurricane the
worst part may be coming i think this is just an enlarged war game against us i think it was dark
winter too which is what it was being called a couple of years before it actually happened
but it's always important to go back and look at this not because we can beat our chest and say i
see we were right we spotted it early but because we need to understand the tactics that they use to lie to us, we need to understand the people who lied to us
and mark those people. They may say true things that we can use, as I've said many times before,
but understand that that doesn't mean that they can be trusted. You have to, if you look at what happens in a spy versus spy type of stuff, right?
You always have, if you got a double agent and you say, well, I'm, you know,
defecting from the KGB and I want to come and tell you the CIA, what is really going on?
Really?
Well, they'll have to give them a lot of true information.
And then if they are not really a double agent, they'll slip some lies in there.
And of course, that's the type of thing that even goes back to World War II. They would slip
some false information to the other side and build their trust. And they would also make sure that
they did not expose themselves until the
most critical time so this is something that's always been there so i talked about that in terms
of some of what has been said in terms of tucker and of course now he comes out and says that he's
going to be doing a program on twitter that's, perhaps, uh, he'll be a little bit more
candid and obvious with people. Maybe he will actually go there. I'm still skeptical based on,
uh, just as I'm skeptical of RFK Jr. You got somebody who says, well, we want to lock up
people who I disagree with because I've got the science and I'm, you know, I have all the science
on my side. And if you disagree with her, I'm going to lock you up, maybe even kill you.
He needs to walk that back.
Tucker needs to walk back what he said in many different areas and what he did not say about certain things like the vaccine issues.
And unless and until he does that, listen to what he says. He may couch the truth in a very effective argument, but be careful about trusting him is all I'm saying.
When you look at – well, let me just play that, what Tucker said about the truth because now he's going to be on Twitter.
Hey, it's Tucker Carlson.
You often hear people say the news is full of lies, but most of the time, that's not exactly right. Much of what you see
on television or read in the New York Times is in fact true in the literal sense. It could pass one
of the media's own fact checks. Lawyers would be willing to sign off on it. In fact, they may have.
But that doesn't make it true. It's not true. At the most basic level, the news you consume
is a lie, a lie of the stealthiest and most insidious kind.
Facts have been withheld on purpose, along with proportion and perspective. You are being
manipulated. How does that work? Let's see. If I tell you that a man has been unjustly arrested
for armed robbery, that is not, strictly speaking, a lie. He may have been framed. At this point,
there's been no trial, so no one can really say. But if I don't mention the fact that the same man has been arrested for the same crime six times
before, am I really informing you? No, I'm not. I'm misleading you. And that's what the news media
are doing in every story that matters every day of the week, every week of the year.
What's it like to work in a system like that? After more than 30 years in
the middle of it, we could tell you stories. The best you can hope for in the news business at
this point is the freedom to tell the fullest truth that you can. But there are always limits.
And you know that if you bump up against those limits often enough, you will be fired for it.
That's not a guess. It's guaranteed. Every person who works in English language media understands that.
Yeah, we all understand.
Some of us have experienced it, actually.
So, you know, here's the deal.
It kind of goes back to when you're sworn in in a trial, what do they ask you to say?
You're going to tell the truth, the whole truth,
and nothing but the truth.
That is pretty comprehensive, and that's there for a reason.
Because if you only tell people a partial truth,
you can tell somebody something that's true,
but by omission, you can deceive them.
And then, of course, you can tell people a lot of truth
in order to gain their trust.
And then you can mix some lies in with that as well, uh,
and insinuations or allegations. And that's a very key thing.
And as a matter of fact, you know, when you look at, uh, again, um,
now that, uh, Tucker, they're saying, well, you know,
Fox evidently wants to keep him, uh him quiet until his contract runs out in 2025.
They're willing to pay him $25 million a year to keep him from talking about what happened at Fox News.
I never got that kind of an offer from Alex.
So I just say what I think is relevant for you to know, uh, which has to do with not his personal life, but it has to do with, um, uh, the way that he deceived people, you know, during the, during 2020, during the pandemic, during the stop the steal stuff that is relevant.
It remains relevant.
And, uh, so anyway, they don't want him talking. So they're willing to pay him 25 million a year until his contract
runs out in 2025 to keep him silent.
So now he's, um, there's talk about how he's going to go to war with him legally,
go to war with him with information, go on to Twitter.
People were speculating that there was some kind of a deal
between him and Elon Musk.
Elon Musk shut it down. And then some of the texts that have been released show that he wanted to get out
of this job for some time that he was not happy there because he did have a bridal
put on him as to what he could say.
And he abided by those rules for whatever reason.
And, um, when you look at what he, and I played this,
I thought it was kind of interesting.
You know, he was saying things like this clip
where he talked about big pharmaceutical companies
the week before he was fired.
Listen again.
Here's one measure of their badness.
You can try this at home.
Ask yourself, is any news organization you know of so corrupt that it's willing to hurt you on behalf of its biggest advertisers? Yeah,
your boss. Anyone who do that is obviously Pablo Escobar level corrupt. Yeah, like Fox News.
What would that look like? That level of corruption? Well, imagine that the Trump
administration had made it mandatory for American citizens to buy MyPillow.
That's one of Fox News' biggest advertisers.
Imagine the administration declared that if you didn't rush out and buy at least one of these pillows,
and then at least another booster pillow, you would not be allowed to eat out.
You couldn't re-enter your own country.
You couldn't have a paying job.
MyPillow, they told you with a straight face, was the very linchpin
of our country's public health system. Now imagine if they told you that, that Fox, as
a news organization, endorsed it, amplified the government's message. Imagine if Fox News
attacked anyone who refused to buy MyPillow as an ally of Russia, as an enemy of science.
And then imagine that Fox kept up those libelous attacks,
even as evidence mounted that my pillow caused heart attacks, fertility problems, and death.
If Fox News did that, what would you think of Fox News? Would you trust us?
Of course you wouldn't. You would know that we were liars.
Thank heaven Fox News never did anything like that.
But the.
He tells me about how the media lies to you.
He's got a camera, a chyron there that says vaccines, the media.
He says, oh, well, I'm so glad that Fox News never pushed these vaccines like that.
Isn't that amazing?
This is what I'm saying.
You're going to trust this guy.
Just that one clip right there.
He didn't say that in 2020.
He didn't say that in 2021.
He didn't say that in 2022.
He didn't say it in 2023 for the first half of 2023 until he wanted to, it made his decision that he wanted them to kick him out.
You know,
I've told you the story before about Matt Drudge when he came to InfoWars and I got a chance to talk to him.
And, um, uh, when I was talking to him, I said, yeah, I really want to thank you for
what you did with a baby Samuel picture.
I said that had a tremendous impact on, you know, the discussion about life.
And if you remember the baby Samuel picture, I didn't have it in the deck there.
See if you can pull it up, Travis, while I'm talking about it here.
That was when they had the in utero surgery to repair a baby, baby Samuel, who had some
spine injuries from early, you know, spina bifida and that type of thing.
So they did it early to try to repair that.
And as the physician was making his incision,
the little hand reached up and grabbed his pinky.
Now, that was not a dismembered arm that you would see as a product of an abortion,
anything that was grotesque or horrific like that.
And yet Matt Drudge, you know, when I mentioned it to him, he's like, what?
What?
And I was like, oh, oh, that.
I just did that because I knew that I wanted to get out of my contract.
I knew they'd fire me.
Like, wow.
Is that why Tucker did that?
I mean, clearly he's talking, he even talks about Fox News.
He talks about Fox News's sponsors, you know, makes the analogy to my pillow and
then talks about booster pillows and all the rest of this stuff.
And yet the Chiron underneath him is saying vaccines in the media.
Oh, Fox news would never do anything like that.
But again, um, do you believe him? You saw with your own eyes how Fox News pushed the vaccine
throughout 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023.
They were fully on board,
and they'll push any lie for the big pharmaceutical companies,
and everybody knows that.
Did he do that for the same reason that Matt Drudge
put up the picture of baby Samuel?
And, you know, when Drudge said that to me, I thought, think about, he did it for his own benefit, right?
And think about what kind of a company Fox News was.
That was back in the late 90s.
Fox News.
So this conservative organization,
the people that are your conservative news source that you trust,
Fox News was so anti-life that they would fire Matt Drudge
for showing a picture that illustrated the humanity of babies
at stages where they were being ripped apart. It showed the preciousness of life.
It showed this baby was a human being.
And if you show that Fox news will fire you for that.
If you talk to people about how the vaccines are going to sterilize people,
kill people, cripple people, Fox News will fire you for that.
Tucker knew that.
Drudge knew that.
About the abortion stuff.
They know what Fox News is about.
It's about time you wake up and understand what the media is about as well.
And wake up and understand where Tucker Carlson is if he's going to lay back as not just one child is killed,
many babies are killed as they injected pregnant women,
and all the rest of this stuff that I've talked about for the last three years,
and he comes out and does that and virtue signals and says, well, yeah, so, you know, I'm telling you the truth now.
He's not telling you the truth.
He's not telling you the whole truth, and he's adding lies to it.
Oh, Fox would never do something like that.
He'll tell you the truth, but not the whole truth and he's adding lies to it oh fox would never do something like that he'll tell you the truth but not the whole truth and he will tell you something other than the truth as well
and so we have to understand where this and now he's going to look like a hero because
this is what's going on meanwhile with his competitors you competitors? You got Brian Stelter, whatever news organization he fell into in his fall from CNN.
Listen to what they say.
Okay.
Well, listen, Twitter was already under fire for misinformation, disinformation, all-out lies, anti-Semitism, racism,
before Elon Musk took over, and now it's gotten kind of crazy, right?
Seemingly unmoored, if you will.
Will anybody be able to police what Carlson says, or is this the point?
It's just a free-for-all.
I think this is the point. It is a free-for-all.
It's what Elon Musk wants to provide.
This move by Tucker may cement the idea of Twitter as a right-wing website.
So now free speech is right-wing value.
Well, we've noticed that.
Who's going to police Tucker?
Who's going to police speech?
This is what these people are about.
Oh, yeah, it will be a free-for-all.
It will be a free-for-all.
Well, I talked about Tucker and his Building 7 thing.
And so I had a listener who said the subject was Building 7 misinformation on your show.
He was very nice to say, I usually agree with you, but I think you discredit yourself when you say Building 7 was a controlled demolition.
Well, we'll have to the cleanup done by Giuliani, so that nobody did any forensic evidence, I'm absolutely convinced that whole thing was an inside job.
It was a lie.
What else can I say about it?
It was a seminal issue. He said, when Silverstein said, pull it, he was referring to the firefighter operation to save the building.
Well, let me play for you the quote and question and see what you think.
When he says, pull it, is he saying, pull the firefighters back?
If he was saying, pull the firefighters back, wouldn't he say, pull them?
Instead, he says, pull it. He referred to the firefighters back? If he was saying, pull the firefighters back, wouldn't he say, pull them? Instead he says,
pull it.
He referred to the firefighters as it.
I remember getting a call
from the fire department commander
telling me that they were not sure
they were going to be able to contain the fire.
I said, you know,
we've had such terrible loss of life.
Maybe the smartest thing to do is pull it.
And they made that decision to pull.
And then we watched the building collapse.
Now, you notice he says a couple of things.
He doesn't say pull them back.
He says pull it.
And then he says, and then we watched the building collapse.
And you watched the building collapse there at the end of that clip.
Just goes straight now.
Very professional demolition, quite frankly.
I would suggest anybody that doesn't think these buildings were demolished,
just spend a little bit of time on YouTube.
Don't trust me.
Do your own research.
Type in building demolitions.
And you watch the building demolitions.
And you will be convinced at the end of that this is a building demolition you can see building demolitions that went wrong
and of course when they go wrong they don't go right down into their footprint they'll lean and
fall over and take out some other buildings they did a great job with those three two planes three
buildings he also says um uh when the news anchor announced the collapse of the tower, it was still standing in the background because it wasn't a live shot.
It was on a loop.
And the building is burning, he says.
Well, before we get to that, let me, you know, in terms of Building 7 and the Pullet stuff, architects and engineers for 9-11 truth we're talking about
the statement and whether or not that was referring to firefighters or referring to
um the building being pulled because that makes a big difference right if you're going to pull
the building that means that you've done a lot of advanced work on it because you don't do a demolition of a building like that.
Uh, but, uh, you know, just spontaneously later in the day, the fire commander ordered his firefighters out of the building and at 5 20 PM, the building collapsed.
No lives were lost at seven world trade center on September 11th, 2001.
Uh, that is, uh, from Silverstein's, um, uh, uh, explanation for what you just heard there.
Now, they said this statement, however, contradicts the FEMA report
on World Trade Center 7 on 9-11,
and they have a link to it at AE911 is the website.
I think it's.com, maybe.org.
They said the statement contradicts the FEMA report,
Chapter 5, Section 5.6.1, and they have a link to it,
which indicates that no manual firefighting actions were taken
on Building 7.
On the other hand, there are some reports by the Fire Department
of New York firefighters that leave open the possibility
that he was referring to pulling firefighting crews away from the area. They were saying, yeah, we pulled people
back. They pulled us out. That was some of the language that they were using.
But again, that doesn't really seem to me to match up to what he was saying when he said
pull it. And then the building collapsed.
So they finish up
by saying that uh, that, uh, they, they talk about a Fox news
journalist, a Fox news journalist, Jeffrey Scott Shapiro.
They said he was, um, one of the people who, um, was one of the, uh, uh, biggest defenders
of the official story,
along with people like Tucker Carlson.
And he wrote an article,
shame on Jesse Ventura for suggesting that that was a demolition.
He said, shortly before the building collapsed,
this is what he says in his article,
this is a guy who is the official narrative apologist there at Fox News.
Shortly before the building collapsed,
several NYPD officers and con ed workers
told me that Larry Silverstein,
the property developer of the One World Financial Center,
was on the phone with his insurance carrier
to see if the building should be demolished.
He said the building, since its foundation was already unstable,
was expected to fall, he said,
apparently unaware that it takes months
of planning and setup to demolish the skyscraper,
Shapiro added a controlled
demolition would have minimized
the damage caused by
the building's imminent collapse
and potentially save lives.
So, again, whether
or not he admitted to that, whether you
think that the statements that
he said were just awkwardly phrased, or whether he was, whether he had a Freudian slip, or
for a moment told us the truth about that.
Just take a look again at the picture of this.
This is an emergency worker talking about what happens.
You see right over her head, as you're looking at the picture here,
it's just to the left of her head.
That's Building 7.
You can see that there's some smoke.
It's not a towering inferno.
We set up the surgical unit and the triage unit down here.
In addition to if anybody out there can help, any vendors who have food or supplies,
the firemen have no food
nothing but snacks they need fluids they need water and they need protein foods this is just
the beginning of what they're facing so we're and we need masks we need there goes holy shit
what is it just went down what just went down world trade seven it did go down before. No, seven, number seven. Oh, my God.
Okay, so you get the idea, right?
This is a straight down.
Well, I guess the question that I would also have is that if buildings are going to come down like that with a little bit of fire,
and again, I would suggest, first of all, go to YouTube and look at building demolitions. And then I would suggest that you go to YouTube and you look at skyscrapers on fire.
Steel skyscrapers.
We've had a lot of steel skyscrapers on fire before and after.
Many of them have burned for several days.
Many of them, you will see them in the after effect of it.
You will see a charred, twisted hulk that may be leaning a little bit, but doesn't fall.
These things after just a couple of minor fires, I couldn't see any
flames or you saw smoke, no flames.
Uh, they did not even put any firefighters in the building.
And, um, yet, uh, you know, cause that's a big part of the official narrative
about why one and two came down was because the buildings were structurally damaged by the impact of planes and then subsequent fires and so forth.
And there's so much to talk about.
We're not going to get in all that.
But let's just take a look at it from the bigger perspective.
If this thing collapsed into its own footprint, why weren't there any changes in firefighting procedures for skyscrapers? Why weren't there any changes in building codes?
If that can happen to American skyscrapers when it doesn't happen in China or other places like that.
Why was it that there were no lawsuits over faulty construction?
We'd had skyscrapers that have been hit by planes in the past.
And so it was not an unexpected thing.
You had the empire state building was hit by a plane,
uh,
not during the King Kong filming,
you know,
but,
uh,
similar,
similar thing for in real life.
Uh,
so,
uh,
you know,
they,
they expected that was a possibility.
They had put that into building codes.
Why did none of that change?
And I talked to tony
rook in the uk and in terms of this whether or not this is a green screen that the reporter was
standing in front of a loop um he refused to pay his bbc license you know there you have to if you
own a television whether or not you watch the bb, you have to pay a fee to support the BBC.
He had a site called Killing Anti, which was the nickname for the BBC, Anti.
And he said, I'm not going to pay my license.
It's a trivial thing, but he took it to court and he told the judge, he said, they had prior
knowledge as evidenced by this video, which means that they are therefore
involved in this conspiracy.
There are terrorist organization, and I am not going to put me in legal
jeopardy if I were to give money to a terrorist organization knowingly.
So I'm not going to pay my fee to the BBC.
And the judge agreed.
He also did a documentary.
He, his father was a police officer.
And he was concerned about why there had been no changes in fire codes.
And all of this was done, I guess, about 2014, 2015, when I interviewed him several times.
And Tony Rook got a lot of retired police officers, judges, on a jury,
and he presented what was known at that point in time,
because at that point in time we'd had about 10, 15 years or whatever of people doing research.
He presented that to the judges and to the retired detectives,
and they said, yeah, it was an inside job.
And he made a documentary out of it.
It was called Incontrovertible.
Incontrovertible evidence of that.
And that was one of his key things when I talked to him.
It wasn't part of his film.
But, you know, why hasn't there been, if this is a possibility,
said one firefighter who made a big issue out of it. I think he was subsequently
fired for challenging the official narrative. But he says, if this is a possibility, why haven't
we been told that we need to fight fires differently than skyscrapers? We've never,
ever seen a fire, a skyscraper collapse by a minor fire, not even by major fires, where, as I said, they burn for all day or several days into a charred thing.
But I would guess, you know, why haven't we seen any changes in firefighting
code, no building codes, no lawsuits, but we did get the Patriot Act.
Oh.
Well, maybe that was what it was all about all along anyway, right?
By the way, when we talk about inside jobs, we talk about the border.
We started by talking about E-Verify.
Just understand that that is an inside job.
Babylon Bee says,
Mallorca is heading to the border tomorrow to fire a starter pistol
when Title 42 expires.
The big race coming across.
Yeah, kind of like the opening up of the Oklahoma Territory.
That'll the sooners get there
right sooner you get there the more land you get they had the big race well that's what's going to
be happening at the border as they turn over our country to massive armies of men you've seen the
pictures i mean i've seen a lot of pictures where as as far as you can see, this army of males, no families.
Occasionally, you will see in some of the other pictures, you'll see a woman or something.
This is weaponized, this border collapse.
It's an inside job being done with help from NGOs and others.
But the Biden administration is going to build lawful pathways for these immigrants.
That's what they say.
That's going to be their patriotic, uh, Patriot act version.
Of course, they also have set up this big welfare magnet.
They've been working on this for a long time.
The Cloward and Piven strategy.
We've got to collapse the country.
We can do it with a welfare system, but we can't do it quickly enough with Americans.
So let's bring people in from every country on the earth and we will offer
them, you know, all kinds of welfare benefits. I wouldn't be surprised if in California they can get
slavery reparations of millions of dollars each. So, you know, everybody line up at the border
and rush over. Under Title VIII, there was some teeth, which means that if someone was deported,
there would be a five-year, 10-year, 15-year, 20-year ban or more, which means that they cannot come back into the country.
So Henry Cuellar, a Democrat in Texas,
said Title 42 immigrants can just come right back in.
They're saying, you can't stay here and contest your arrest.
We're just going to immediately send you back over
because we've got a pandemic going on.
That was the only thing that Trump cared about.
He didn't care about the border. He cared about his UN Davos globalist pandemic
that he was running and producing, right?
So you come across the border, we're going to send you right back.
No process or anything.
What Henry Quaylar was saying was that what they had before,
a federal law called Title VIII, they would go through a process
to decide if they were fit for asylum.
And of course, they can say things like,
well, I'm a tranny,
and if I go back to my country,
they're going to kill me.
And a lot of people are doing that,
as Michael Yan pointed out.
But under Title VIII,
if they go through the due process
and they kick you out,
then they say you can't come back in for a number of years.
And, of course, that works so well, doesn't it?
We just had a guy kill a bunch of people in Texas, killed a family.
He'd been deported four times, Francisco Oropeso.
He'd been sent out multiple times.
All of this is nothing more than catch and release.
That's what's been going on at the border for quite some time.
And then they use that to argue that we've all got to have E-Verify.
There's a very, very long article that I'm not going to go into from Reuters, but I thought
it was interesting.
It says how El Chapo's sons built a fentanyl empire poisoning america
because remember it is um you know the war on drugs that we created the war on drugs where
the cia is the biggest drug runner that's being used as the argument for why we've got to close
the border and um and yet you have reuters doing a story like this, how El Chapo's sons built a fentanyl empire poisoning America.
They don't want to talk about HSBC.
Matt Taibbi, before he was famous for defending free speech
and became a target of these people for defending free speech,
he was writing at Rolling Stone.
I remember the excellent article he had there,
Too Big to Jail, talking about HSBC.
And the thing that stuck with me more than anything else out of that article,
and there was a testimony from a whistleblower on the inside, Everett Stern.
I interviewed Everett a couple of times.
But what came out of Matt Taibbi's investigation,
HSBC has been convicted multiple times of assisting terrorists and drug cartels.
But for El Chapo and the Sinaloa drug cartel, HSBC gave them their own window because they
had so much cash to count.
They gave them their own separate window to launder the money, to count the cash and everything.
Reuters isn't going to talk about that.
Instead, what they talk about is the fact that
after El Chapo was arrested,
everybody believed that his four kids, four siblings,
they called them the Little Chapos,
and they were mocked as these entitled little princelings that couldn't do anything.
Well, they turned out to be more like four Michael Corleones, if you remember the godfather.
They went on a killing spree.
First, they went after the police in that area.
Thirteen police officers died or disappeared in the months that followed as they took over control. And that was just the beginning as they started coming after their opponents in the same way.
They very ruthlessly and rapidly took control of things.
And yet, is it simply the fentanyl?
When we go back and look again at 9-11, the dark winter simulation, 9-11, the week later, we had the anthrax attack.
And then two months after that, we had the Model State Health Emergency Powers Act push out to the states so they could do to us what they did in 2020.
But the anthrax thing was a big part of that.
You know, I've talked many times about Allison Young, who back in 2014, she exposed the problems with these biosafety level labs that we have.
And we have more than 200 biosafety level three and biosafety level four labs.
And to compare that to Wuhan, that everybody is so upset about, I can't stop talking about it.
Wuhan is the only biosafety level four lab in China. We have a couple hundred.
And so she was talking about, and that includes biosafety level three, which is almost as
dangerous as a biosafety level four. Biosafety level four is the highest level. And she did a
lot of investigations in 2014 and 15 of accidents that were had at these BSL 3 and 4 labs
and pointing out that, you know, with 200 of them scattered throughout the United States,
if you live close to a university, there's probably a biosafety level 3 or 4 lab
in your neighborhood, you know, not too far away from you if you live close to them.
And she talked about the different accidents that they had had, accidental releases.
And, of course, one of the things that was a driver of it was an accident at Tulane University,
the National Primate Center that's there.
And they brought in a pathogen, a bacteria, Burkholderia pseudomallei,
and it got out of the biosafety level three lab somehow,
and they found it outside. And then CDC sent a team in, a couple of people got sick with it,
and they said, oh, that didn't happen here. They must have been exposed to it somewhere else. I
mean, just crazy lies. So she did a whole series of things about that, and it became such an issue
that Congress, even during the obama administration told francis
collins and fauci stop it stop funding this stuff and that's when they went to wuhan and that's when
they started and they continued to do it also at the university of north carolina and a couple of
other universities and a couple years later they published the research that they'd done at the
university of north carolina chapel hill and people who were in the industry said whoa wait a minute you were supposed to stop that
and francis collins came out and said defiantly well i made the determination we were going to
continue i i did it myself i don't really care what congress says uh we made that determination
ourselves so she's back She's written a book.
It was released at the end of April, Allison Young.
The book is Pandora's Gamble, Lab Leaks, Pandemics, and a World at Risk.
And she talks about a time where the Army, and of course at Fort Detrick,
that was where they began with this Operation Paperclip.
They brought in these Nazi war criminals criminals and they brought in uh japanese war criminals and said okay you know you we want to know what you learned when you killed prisoners and stuff and uh we'll put you in charge of a
bio weapons and biochemical program or a chemical weapons and biological weapons program and um and
they did they were in charge of it. They put Americans at the top.
So they were like,
you know,
two or three levels down so that people wouldn't see that we had Germans
running the program.
They weren't as obvious about it as they were with,
um,
the rocket program and Werner Von Braun.
Uh,
they kept a lower profile and they say,
and so,
uh,
but that was all part of operation paperclip.
She said the,
uh,
it was May 25th,
2018,
the Friday before Memorial day weekend,
the tank holding waste from labs working with Ebola,
anthrax,
and other lethal pathogens have become over pressurized,
forcing the liquid out event pipe and estimated two to 3000 gallons streamed
into a grassy area, a few feet from an 3,000 gallons streamed into a grassy area a few feet from an
open storm drain that dumps into a creek, Carroll Creek, a centerpiece of downtown Frederick,
Maryland, a city of about 80,000, an hour's drive from the nation's capital. But as the waste
sprayed for as long as three hours, Records show none of the plant's workers
apparently noticed the tank had burst a pipe.
This was despite the facility being under the scrutiny
of federal lab regulators following a catastrophic flooding
and an escalating series of safety failures
that had been playing out for more than a week.
So they'd had a flood in the area.
They'd had devastating storms back in May of that year.
And it said workers at Fort Detrick discovered that the plant's basement was filling with water that would reach four to five feet deep.
Some of it was rainwater seeping in from outdoors, but a lot of it was fluid leaking from the basement's long-deteriorating tanks
that had held thousands of gallons of unsterilized lab wastewater.
A basement sump pumps forced flood water into these tanks.
The influx disgorged lab waste through cracks in the tops of the tanks,
sending it streaming back toward the floor.
The steam sterilization plant, referred to as the SSP,
was built in 1953. Designed to essentially cook the wastewater that flowed into it from
Fort Detrick's biological labs, ensuring that all deadly pathogens were killed before releasing
them into the water, the rivers and creeks around. Safety protocols call for a two-step
pill process in the lab wastewater. Lab workers were supposed to pre-treat potentially infectious
liquids with bleach or other chemicals,
but because,
uh,
they were not always a hundred percent.
They had the two-step process.
All of this stuff was set aside.
And then after all of this happened,
this 65 year old facility with its cracks and leaks and
failures and all the rest of the stuff, they said a replacement plant, uh, would cost the taxpayers
$30 million. And they had done that in 2016, but it had a catastrophic failure and could not be
repaired. So they'd spent $30 million on a facility in 2016.
It had failed catastrophically, whatever that means.
And they were relying on the plant that was built back in the 50s,
because back then they could build things that would last.
But as this all happened with the flood,
then the Army came in and started doing some investigation of the wastewater.
In the weeks before the tanks started spewing wastewater,
the military had been experimenting with 16 organisms.
The lab officials said they hadn't tested the concrete pad or the ground adjacent to the tanks.
Anthrax was the organism of greatest concern because of its ability to persist in the environment.
And of course, that was one of the things they were concerned about at the Tulane Center,
the Primate Center.
Burkhold area pseudomallei persists in the environment.
It gets into the ground and then travels from that.
So I don't know what the current status of that is now.
It's been about eight or nine years.
So maybe it did not.
Hopefully it did not.
It wasn't even indigenous to the United States.
They had to bring it in.
It's only found in two or three places in the world.
Highly, a very high case fatality rate of casualties,
people who die from it.
So they brought it in to study it,
to make it spread more easily,
and to make it more deadly.
Because, you know, 45% casualty rate just isn't good enough
if you're going to use it as a biological weapon.
Other organisms possibly in the wastewater were Ebola virus, Lassa fever,
Marburg, Venezuelan equine encephalitis, Eastern equine encephalitis, Crimean Congo hemorrhagic fever,
Burkholderia pseudomallei, there you go, and also Burkholderia mollei.
And other things like the Sol virus, that is referring to South Korea, not our schools,
and the chikya virus the army said all the tests
were negative but she says how meaningful is that did they test 20 samples 200 samples what were
the detection limits of the testing methods did they use a pcr on it i don't think so if they'd
use pcr i'm sure they would have found something don't you think uh ramp it up to 40 cycles and multiply it by a
trillion times like they did supposedly all the covid stuff how might rain or wind or sunlight
have affected the ability of these tests to detect organisms a week after their release and on and
on there's a lot of a lot of questions about all that uh and of course um i'll see if i can get
her on it looks like a great book and she was always at the center of all this. I would really love to talk to her about that.
But that is what is happening with our government.
They're there to protect us.
They would never intentionally release anything.
They would always clean it up if it was accidentally released.
And, of course, if people told them that the research was simply too dangerous
and they ought to stop it, they would obey the government, right?
No, none of that happens.
Mike Huckabee has an interesting change of topic here.
Mike Huckabee has an interesting article about the, uh, proud boys convictions.
And, uh, other than the usual stuff that we've all talked about, he had a different angle from somebody who says,
just take a look at the jury that was there.
And this was the, he quoted the work of Roger Parloff,
who writes for Lawfare.
And he said, it's virtually impossible in D.C.
to get an impartial group of 12 people.
But this particular jury appears to have been dripping with bias.
According to Roger Parloff, quote, six jurors had participated in liberal-leaning protests or marches,
while none of them mentioned any conservative-leaning demonstrations.
The protests included, in two cases, women's marches and two cases,
anti-gun marches and four cases protests related to black lives matter or
George Floyd.
One sitting juror had a black lives matter sign in her yard.
And at the time that they picked the jury,
they had the televised hearings going on in Congress.
And so the judge, however, was not persuaded that any of this would
influence the already partisan jury pool because they were probably as
prejudiced as they're going to be at that point in time anyway, right?
Uh, why if they were to watch the televised hearings, it wouldn't
make any difference to them.
The prosecutors often mentioned Trump during the trial and, um, believes
that the convictions will bolster special counsel, Jack Smith's ongoing
investigation of Donald Trump for similar charges.
Well, that's the whole point.
They've even said that they've been said it is necessary for us to convict
several people of this ludicrous overcharging of seditious conspiracy.
We've now got 14 people that we found guilty of seditious conspiracy, and that gives us
the ability to go after Trump. Yeah, they were convicted on the basis of their group chats.
That was it, the group chats. As Huckabee writes, he said,
they brought no arms to the event.
They assaulted no officers.
And by the way, as I've pointed out in the past,
they had no plan.
So they had no weapons and they had no plan,
but it was a conspiracy.
And not just any conspiracy,
it was a seditious conspiracy to shut down the government.
Again,
key thing is to take a look.
You want to talk about,
you know,
Biden is saying,
yeah,
we have,
um,
uh,
we have to have equal protection of the law,
I guess,
is how he's going to fight through the Republicans on,
uh,
the debt ceiling or something.
14th amendment.
We do have equal protection of the law and the Constitution, supposedly,
but not in reality.
The Biden administration celebrates the Tennessee Three
while they want to send to prison people who did the same thing
in Washington, D.C.
And I would argue even worse.
You could argue that some of these people who are fighting the police officers are fighting in self-defense.
That has been argued by people.
I'm not going to get into that back and forth as to who, you know, used, who threw something at somebody else first, you know, who fired the first shot essentially.
Of course, you know, the first shot was actually fired by the police killing a person. But, um, yeah, this, these people have been pawns and they have been
sacrificed in a game of 4d chess.
Yeah.
You want to know what the 40 chess about Trump is all about?
This is it.
Pawn sacrifice.
We'll be right back. ¶¶ Thank you. Analyzing the globalist's next move.
And now, The David Knight Show.
Welcome back, and I want to thank Katiana1102 on Rumble.
Thank you very much.
This is very generous.
I appreciate that.
I've been out of pocket.
Happy to see the 5.8 closed caption show.
Captioning is pretty good.
Thank you.
And I think we're doing that, you're doing that, Travis, on Rumble.
Is that correct?
People can turn it on and off? Yep, on Rumble. The clips in the full show have captioning so they can turn on and off okay that's good and um we had uh i did have after and it might have been katiana who had asked for it um
i think her son is deaf or hard of hearing and um we started travis started getting transcripts that were put in by
premiere and posting up a subtitled as well as a non-subtitled version on bit shoot we found out
that we could do it that people could turn it on and off on rumble we stopped doing that because
it's a bit confusing for people and some people want some people don't mind if the captions are
there and some people don't like it and so now you're in control of it if you go to Rumble. So we're
glad to have that functionality that is there on Rumble and we're not posting two different
versions of it anywhere else. So any of the other platforms, you will see it without the captioning,
but you can turn it on and off at Rumble. So we're glad to have that there.
Um, the, uh, by the way, uh, if you're going to Rumble, it helps us with visibility if you like the stream.
Uh, it also helps with visibility on any of these platforms.
If you, uh, watch the videos and you like the videos, please like the videos,
press the button that says that you liked the videos. Press the button that says that you like the videos.
So if you're a regular viewer,
that helps us to grow the program and to get the information out to the widest number of people.
That's what it's really about.
And so we'd appreciate it if you could do that.
It helps us.
It doesn't cost you anything to like that.
So we'd appreciate that.
By the way, when we're talking about likes,
it was amazing to see this. I always like Alam Bakari's appreciate that by the way when we're talking about likes i it was amazing
to see this i always like alam bakari's uh stuff that he puts out on bright part he was the guy who
first wrote about the public square issue and censorship on social media uh that was a real
valuable find i refer to that as you know if you listen to this program all the time
the 1946 case marsh versus alab Alabama company owned town, which by the
way, Elon Musk has got now two company owned towns. It was a long piece about that in the
wall street journal. One of the company owned towns that has a boring and, um, uh, another one
that's there. I forget what the other one was. Uh, we didn't know anything about it, but he was
in the process of building it just a couple of miles from where we
used to live in Texas.
And there's a lot of residents there who are not very happy about it because
of things that are happening with the roads,
things that are being dumped into the water and other things like that.
It's not my fight that's there,
but I'm glad that we're not close to it.
But he's also got the town that he's built down the Texas coast where he does the rocket launches for SpaceX.
But company towns may be coming back.
Who knows?
We have these uber billionaires like Elon Musk.
And yet back in the 1940s, the company towns are typically coal towns.
And the public square was there, and they had somebody who was passing out out religious literature and they said, no, you can't do that.
We own the public square.
Supreme court said, no, you can't stop free speech and the public square, even if it's
privately owned.
And I liked Alam Bakari picked that said, this is what is happening.
Jack Dorsey even admits the Twitter is a public square and it makes people like Brian Stelter go nuts.
Who's going to police him.
Who's going to tell him,
you know what,
who's going to tell people what they can say in the public square.
It's just amazing.
But MailChimp,
MailChimp is now censored.
Senator J.D.
Vance's press release.
And he complained about it.
And they say,
well,
that was a mistake.
Well, I can tell you that when we started this program a little over two years ago karen was you know trying to put together a
newsletter at the time we used mail chimp that is the most widely used email program for all that
stuff and she typed in several hundred names by hand, and then they just shut us down
and would not give us an explanation two years ago. And we had not sent a single email. All of
her work was lost. Uh, but we had not sent a single email that the male chumps could complain
about. Uh, he said, Mail Chimp, Mail Chumps,
suspended my press team's account after we announced
President Trump's support for the Railway Safety Act.
But big tech censorship won't stop us from fighting
for the people of East Palestine.
Palestine. Palestine.
Frankenstein. Frankenstein.
I can never remember that.
But anyway, it's always the opposite of what I think it should be.
And then when I start to get used to pronouncing it that way, I think, no, it must be the other way.
Because that's the one that I want to say.
So I keep fooling myself.
Anyway, they now said that's a mistake.
But they shut us down without us even sending anything out.
And not only did they not say that it was a mistake, but they would not relent. I've played for you last week, I think it
was, something that I had done in 2021 from Solzhenitsyn. It was his Live Not by Lies essay,
the last thing that he wrote before he was ejected out of the Soviet Union in the 70s,
early 70s. And after living in the West, in America, for about a decade, he won the Templeton
Prize. And it gave him an opportunity to talk. Of course, the Templeton Prize is about spiritual
issues and things like that. Not necessarily Christian.
They're not Christian.
It's just, you know, quote-unquote spiritual.
And so he had this to say.
He said, over a half century ago, while I was still a child,
I recall hearing a number of older people offer the following explanation
for the great disasters
that had befallen Russia. Men have forgotten God. That's why this has all happened, they said.
He said, since then, I've spent nearly 50 years working on the history of our revolution.
I've read hundreds of books, collected hundreds of personal testimonies. I've already contributed
eight volumes of my own work toward that effort to try to clear away the rubble to see what happened in his native Russia.
But if I were asked today to formulate as concisely as possible the main cause of the ruinous
revolution that swallowed up some 60 million of our people, I could not put it more accurately
than to repeat, men have have forgotten god that's why this
has all happened he said against the background of what has since occurred in the rest of the world
what emerges here is a process of universal significance if i were called upon to identify
briefly the principal trait of the entire 20th century, I would be unable to find anything more precise and pithy
than to repeat once again,
men have forgotten God.
The failings of human consciousness
deprived of its divine dimension
has been a determining factor
in the major crimes of this century.
The first of these was World War I.
It was a war when Europe was bursting with health and abundance, but then it fell into a
rage of self-mutilation, which
could not but sap its strength for a century or more, perhaps
forever. He said only a godless embitterment
could have moved ostensibly Christian states
to employ poison gas,
a weapon so obviously beyond the limits of humanity.
Think about that.
We just talked about Allison Young and what our own government is doing.
They took the people in Japan.
They were experimenting on American soldiers, POWs, killing them,
so they could learn something about, you know, what it takes to kill people.
Or in the case of the Germans, you know, what it would take to bring somebody back who'd been frozen to death.
Oh, we have to do that because we've got some pilots who are getting shot down the English Channel.
And sometimes we get there and they've just died of, you know, cold exposure.
Would there be a way that we could pull them back?
Well, let's see.
Let's intentionally kill people and bring them back. And of course, that was the one story that was
exposed by an army officer who said, we're bringing these people in. This is what he did.
He murdered who knows how many people and with trial and error processes trying to bring them
back. Well, that didn't work. Let's try a different thing. Kill that one.
And that went public.
And as I said before, I think that was a basis for this whole Captain America thing, you know, where the plane goes down and then they bring him back.
I think they piggybacked it off of that real story.
But we brought in the people who were murdering and conducting all these hideous experiments.
We even brought in the people who had murdered American POWs,
and we put them in charge of coming up with more weapons to kill populations.
And so he talks about how this all began, World War I,
ostensibly Christian nations poisoning each other with gas.
You know, I had, when I was a kid, had a very, very old relative.
I was very young.
He was very old.
He'd been in World War I.
He'd been gassed, and it had caused him a lot of health issues.
It had messed up his throat and everything. And by the time I saw him as a child, it had turned into, you know,
he'd struggled with his throat all that time.
He'd gotten throat cancer.
And they had cut out, cut a hole into his throat.
And he couldn't talk.
He had no voice box left.
And he would use, I mean, this is a long, long time ago.
He had a device that he could put up against his throat, since he didn't have a voice box.
And it would pick up the vibrations as he's trying to talk and kind of simulate what vocal
chords would do.
But it gave him this really kind of robotic sound that just, it was,
I'll never forget it because as a child,
it was such a horrific and fixating thing, you know,
because of the voice as well as, you know, the hole in his throat.
And later on, if you want to, you know,
this is kind of robotic kind of Cylon sound that they used, you know,
decade two later. But, you know, decade two later.
Uh, but, um, you know, he was, uh, when I asked you what had happened,
I said, well, you know, all of his health problems began with that poison gas.
He, he didn't die.
The other people in his group did, but he was still injured with it.
Uh, anyway, that same kind of defect, the flaw of consciousness lacking all divine dimensions
that Solzhenitsyn was manifested after World War II, when the West yielded to the satanic
temptation of the nuclear umbrella. If danger should threaten us, we shall be protected by
the nuclear bomb. If not, then let the world go to hell. Mutually assured destruction. The pitifully helpless state to which the contemporary West has sunk
is in large measure due to this fatal error.
The belief that the only issue is that of nuclear weapons,
whereas in reality the defense of peace reposes chiefly on stout hearts and steadfast men, he said. Dostoevsky warned,
Great events could come upon us and catch us intellectually unprepared.
Solzhenitsyn said,
That's precisely what has happened.
Dostoevsky predicted that the world will be saved
only after it has been possessed by the demon of evil.
Solzhenitsyn said,
We are witnesses to the devastation of the world,
be it imposed or whether it is voluntarily undergone.
The entire 20th century is being sucked into the vortex of atheism and self-destruction.
What would he say about the 21st century, you think?
You know, a demon of sexual lust,
people who are lovers of self,
and yet it is so twisted that they turn to self-mutilation,
a kind of tribalism, a kind of hate that has been inculcated in our children
from kindergarten in the government schools, censorship, religious persecution.
But the fundamental value of Western civilization, I should say not of Western civilization,
but of our leaders, their fundamental goal and purpose is depopulation and slavery.
Population control of both kinds.
That's where we are in the 21st century.
Solzhenitsyn said it was Dostoevsky, once again,
who drew from the French Revolution and the seething hatred for the church
the lesson that, quote, revolution must necessarily begin with atheism, unquote.
That is absolutely true, he said, but the world had never before known a godlessness
as organized, militarized, and tenaciously malevolent as that preached by Marxism.
Within the philosophical system of Marx and Lenin, and at the heart of their psychology,
hatred of God is the principal driving force.
It is more fundamental than all their political and economic pretensions.
Militant atheism is not merely incidental or marginal to communist policy.
It is not a side effect.
It is the central pivot.
Communism needs to control a population devoid of religious and national feeling.
This entails a destruction of faith and nationhood.
Communists proclaim both these objectives openly.
And just as openly, they put them into practice.
This is why when I interviewed the guy that's with Falun Gong about what is
happening in China, it's important to understand, you know, and again, I find it interesting that
everybody likes to focus on all the religious persecution that's had. And of course, there's
political persecution there as well, the communist enemies. But they'll come after any and every
religion. They'll come after Islam. They'll come after Falun Gong, and you'll see the media talking about both of those,
but you won't see them talking much about Christians, and they come after the Christians
as well.
It's only the Christians who talk about the Christian persecution.
The media doesn't want you to see that, but they'll point to Islamic persecution.
They'll point to Falun Gong, but the point is that the communists are allied against any religion.
Why?
Because they see themselves as God.
The communists are a jealous God.
You can have no God before them.
And so they'll come after anybody in any and every religion.
And that's what Solzhenitsyn was saying.
And now we have seen it get more, you know, in any and every religion. And that's what Solzhenitsyn was saying.
And now we have seen it get more,
this kind of totalitarianism has now gotten far more scientific in the 21st century.
Scientific in its psychology, scientific in its application,
scientific in its surveillance and data mining
and all the rest of this stuff.
So it is a central point. It is not a side effect. and its surveillance and data mining and all the rest of this stuff.
So it is a central point.
It is not a side effect.
Communism needs to control a population that is devoid of religious and national feeling.
This entails a destruction of faith and of the nation
and the concept of the nation.
And that's why you see what is happening with Project 1619,
with them attacking the whole idea that America
was founded by pilgrims who brought in self-governance with them.
They were literate because their religion demanded that they be able to read the Bible.
They created their own documents for self-governance there with the Mayflower Compact and all the
rest of this stuff.
They had to pull that away.
They had to create something in competition to 1620, 1619,
and we'll make that about slavery.
And we will use that to destroy the nation.
And it is working well.
We don't understand what the real goal of these Marxists is,
and they're not even trying to hide the fact that they're trying to openly overthrow religion as well as the nation itself. That's what Boudigay's advisor,
Sakvan Berkovich, Boudigay's father spent all of his life looking at the founder of Italian
communism, Antonio Gramsci, idolizing this guy, analyzing everything they did, and what did he do?
He said, the way they have stopped us with communism is with cultural hegemony.
The Christians, the middle class, they have a cultural hegemony.
We have to destroy their culture.
We have to eradicate that.
That is our path.
Otherwise, we won't have success.
And so being raised that way, Pete Boudigais then, his father gets him into Harvard,
and his advisor is Sock Van Berkovich, a guy who named himself after some
disciples of Antonio Gramsci, some Italian Marxists in the early 20th century, Socko and
Vanzetti. So he changed his first name to honor them.
And everything the guy wrote was to attack our Christian foundation.
Every problem in America, said Berkovich, the advisor to Boudigal,
every problem in America was due to our Puritan past.
And we must rip out by the roots any Christian foundation.
That's the radicalism.
Radical means ripping it out by the root.
Solzhenitsyn says the West's own historical evolution has been such that today,
and he was writing 40 years ago, 1983,
it too is experiencing a drying up of religious consciousness.
The concepts of good and evil have been ridiculed for several centuries
and banished from common use.
They've been replaced by political or class considerations
that have a short-lived value.
It has become embarrassing to appeal to eternal concepts,
embarrassing to state that evil makes its home
in the individual human heart
before it ever enters the political
system.
Let me interject.
I've said throughout this whole thing, this fiction of public health.
I said, you can't have public health if you deny the health of the individuals.
The public health is nothing other than the collection of all these individuals' health.
And if you don't care that somebody's had a bad reaction to a vaccine in the past,
if you don't care that there's evidence that some treatment that may be safer,
may be cheaper, may also be as effective or more effective than what you demand,
if you're going to ignore all of that,
if you're going to ignore the health of individuals
and talk about public health in general,
you're not going to ever have public health.
It's just a tool for control.
And let me say this to the conservatives
when we talk about Christian nationalism and things like that.
Christian nationalism is just as much of an oxymoron as public health is.
Because you don't have a Christian nation. You can have a nation that is built on Christian
principles, but a Christian nation, just like public health, is based on the spiritual health
of the individual, just like public health is based on the health of the individual.
And so it is something that is done one by one.
It is something that cannot be done collectively.
If there is a revitalization, a reawakening, a revival,
whatever you want to call it in America, a great awakening again,
if something like that happens,
it will be because there's a lot of individuals that that happens to.
But the nation is an abstract concept, just like public health is. And we're not going to have
Christian nationalism. We better start focusing on individual Christians. That's a much more
difficult thing to do. But you can do it. You can be willing to give an answer to anybody that asks
why that you have hope. And you can also pray for individuals.
And you can pray for the country as well.
But it's the individuals that need to be saved.
He says it's not considered shameful, however, to make daily concessions to something that is evil.
Integral evil, he says.
The West is slipping toward the abyss.
He wrote that 40 years ago, 1983.
Why should one draw back from burning hatred,
whatever its basis,
a burning hatred of somebody because of their race,
because of their class, because of their ideology?
See, he didn't even include things like their gender, right?
The fact of what they believe religiously.
He said such hatred is in fact corroding many hearts today.
Atheist teachers in the West are bringing up a younger generation
in a spirit of hate for their own society.
It has been forgotten that the defects of capitalism
represent the basic flaws of human nature,
freed from all limitations.
And he says, under communism, these very same flaws,
that again are endemic to human nature,
these very same flaws become completely unbridled
with a person who has the final degree of authority.
And everyone else under that system truly does attain
equality the equality of being destitute slaves and that's what this diversity
inclusivity equality is really about and jefferson said the same thing he said these lovelers which
is what the socialists called themselves at the time,
they didn't pretend it was scientific.
Now we pretend that socialism is scientific.
But the lovelers, the socialists of Jefferson's day,
he said they just want to pull everything down.
They want to destroy everything.
They want everybody to have equality as slaves.
The unquenchable hatred that then spreads to all that is alive, he said,
and even to life itself and to the human body.
Now, he doesn't talk about this in terms of abortion.
He doesn't talk about it certainly in terms of mutilation of children
with transgender stuff, chemical, surgical mutilation.
He doesn't talk about that, but that really is what this is.
You know, there is a, as part of that movement,
you know, the leftist movement, the green people,
or maybe we should start calling them the gang green agenda, you know,
because it is a kind of cancer that will kill our society.
So whether you're talking about the gang green people
or whether you're talking about the Marxists or whether you're talking about the gangrene people or whether you're talking about the Marxists or whether you're talking about the LGBT, there is a self-loathing that is there because they themselves are part of humanity.
And all of those ideologies, or if you want to call them religions, secular religions, whatever you want to characterize them at, they have a common characteristic.
It's why they come together.
Their common characteristic is their hatred of humanity,
and that eventually manifests itself in their hatred of their own bodies
and the hatred of their own children,
as that one woman said to Karen at the abortion clinic that she got on tape.
I kill my kids.
She's proud of it.
What can one say about the lack of unity among various religions if Christianity itself has become so fragmented?
No one expects the churches to merge.
They don't expect them to change their doctrines
so they can agree on everything.
But you do expect them perhaps to present a common front
against obvious evils, against atheism,
where we have forgotten God.
But for such a purpose, the steps that are being taken
are much too slow if they exist at all.
The solution to the crisis will not be found
along the well-trodden paths of conventional notions.
They won't be found in politics at all.
Our life, he says, consists not in the pursuit of material success,
but in the quest of worthy spiritual growth.
And that was what the founders meant when they said the pursuit of happiness.
They were not talking about hedonism.
They were talking about the pursuit of spiritual growth.
He said our entire earthly existence is but a transitional stage hedonism. They were talking about the pursuit of spiritual growth.
He said, our entire earthly existence is but a transitional stage in a movement towards something that is higher. We must not
stumble or fall, nor must we linger
fruitlessly on one rung of the ladder.
Material laws alone do not explain life, and they don't give it
direction.
The laws of physics and physiology will never reveal the indisputable manner in which the Creator constantly, day in and day out,
participates in the life of each of us,
unfailingly granting us the energy of existence,
and when this assistance leaves us, we die.
He said, instead of the ill-advised hopes of the last two centuries,
which have reduced us to insignificance
and brought us to the brink of nuclear and non-nuclear death,
we can only reach with determination for the warm hand of God,
which we have so rashly and self-confidently pushed away. If we did this, our eyes could be
open to the errors of the unfortunate 20th century, and our hands could be directed to set them right.
There's nothing else to cling to in this landslide. All the thinkers of the Enlightenment can give us nothing.
Of the five continents, or rather our five continents, are caught in a whirlwind.
It is during such trials that the highest gifts of the human spirit are manifested.
If we perish and lose this world, the fault will be ours alone.
Now I had a listener, Giles, who's written many times,
and he sent me this clip,
somebody who escaped out of North Korea.
And, you know, it is,
North Korea is the most dangerous country to get a Bible into.
They will attempt to get around the perimeter and parachute Bibles in,
but it is the most highly persecuted, far more than the Arab countries and North Korea,
the most dangerous place to try to put a Bible in.
And this is a clip from a girl who grew up in North Korea.
And she talks about life from these totalitarians, these communists,
and how they presented themselves
As God
She said they learned it
They copied the Bible
Because I guess you know
They probably got a lot of the Bible
Sitting around
Since they confiscate all of them
Here's what she had to say
So North Korea is one of the
Ten religions in the world
It's a religious cult
It's not just a normal dictatorship
The first thing my mom told me
As a young girl
Was don't even whisper, because
the birds and mice could hear me.
They said, do not even trust your own back, because we never knew who a spy was.
There was always a spy listening somewhere.
So it was better not to even say anything and even better not to think.
That's how you survive North Korea.
How they did that was that they copied the Bible.
So they said, you know, God would give your son love so much.
He gave us his son, Kim Jong-il.
His body dies, but he's with us forever.
That's how he can read my thoughts, knows how much hair I have on my head.
And when we die, we join him in this paradise for the rest of our lives. You know, nothing scares a left more than somebody who talks about their faith, right?
Oh, wow, this is some kind of a Kool-Aid cult or something like that.
And I've said many times, don't fear the people who fear God.
Don't fear the people who know that they're going to stand before God one day
and answer for everything that they say and do.
You better fear the people who think they're God, the people who act as if they're God.
The totalitarians who want to have all of the characteristics that belong to God alone,
and that is omniscience, knowing everything about everybody.
That's what she's talking about.
Omnipotence, being all powerful.
Nobody can do anything to resist you.
We've taken away all the guns or anything like that.
There'll be a check on somebody's power.
And the omnipresence, where they're constantly watching everything that you do.
They're on these devices that we carry around with us.
They're on all the smart everything, the smart stuff
for dumb slaves. Yeah, fear the men who think they are God, and we'll never answer to God.
We're going to take a quick break, and we'll be right back. ¶¶ In a world of deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.
You're listening to The David Knight Show.
Welcome back.
I've got these Civil Defense Manual Volumes 1 and 2 here.
Of course, there's two volumes.
And Jack Lawson, I'm in touch with him.
He said he's no longer on Amazon.
The only place that you can find these now are at his website,
civildefensemanual.com.
Evidently, this is, you know,
just too important information to have on Amazon. defense manual.com. Evidently this is, uh, you know, just, um,
two important information to have on Amazon. Uh,
it is written by special operations soldiers, not just from the experience of Jack Lawson. He's had a lot of experience,
but also by a lot of his friends who are experts in other areas that he doesn't
have expertise in, but whether it comes to being able to get water,
uh, preserve your food, learn how to prepare your own food and learn how to
defend yourself and your family.
It is a very important manual.
Uh, and he wanted to make it, it's not available as electronic format because
he wanted to make sure that, you know, if things get really bad, people have
got it in a printed format. That is a key thing as well. Uh, so, uh, when we look at what is happening and we look at
this relentless push to control everything that we see, say to put the E-Verify, the CBDC, all the
rest of this stuff, again, it is, uh, imperative on us to start preparing for an alternative society. We want to make sure that
we have the ability, the financial ability to be independent. You know, again, Tony Ardabrin's
wisewolf.gold, and he's got a link to it, davidknight.gold. But you want to make sure that
you're outside of this financial system. You want to make sure that you've got a way to exist and
to thrive and how instructions on how to build a community all
that is in civil defense manual volumes one and two and again you can see if you go to his site
you can see a sample of it he's got the one i remember is the on his site was the one about
water uh very important information uh that is there for free sample chapter and i'll give you
an idea of the in-depth information you'll find on civil defense manual, uh, civil defense manual.com. Well, for the time being, you can still just
drive into a fast food place and order. Maybe you'll get your order a little bit more accurately
with an AI chat box. This has been put in by all of these fast food chains. Of course, I can't say
what it's going to do to your health. No guarantee there.
But maybe they'll get you whatever you want.
If you want a biggie bag, they'll get you a biggie bag.
They'll supersize all this stuff for you.
Wendy's is automating its drive-thru service using an AI chat bot.
Maybe this thing, I played for you the clip of the guy who essentially had a debabilizer,
that little thing on his lapel.
And he presses the button and he starts talking and it translates what he had to say.
It records it.
It translates it.
Does it in his voice and does it with his inflection, but does it in perfect French.
So maybe, you know, AI will be able to get your order right.
Maybe you'll be able to de-babilize these speakers.
Why is it that we go for such difficult solutions, right?
Why don't you just have, as some of the fast food places have, they have people,
uh, either at a window or sometimes they just put them out, you know, in the, uh,
in the line and talk to people face to face. That's something of a solution.
Isn't that a nice low-tech solution, but no, the big corporations will
always go for the high-tech thing, I guess.
Uh, so they're not going to do face to face.
You can talk to somebody and they can key your entry in anyway.
It'll be very conversational.
They said, you won't know that you're talking to anybody, but an employee.
So why not just talk to an employee?
What's the problem with that?
And it's not just Wendy's.
The corporation that owns Carl's Jr. and Hardee's is doing it.
They're ready to roll this system out nationwide.
CKE Restaurants, a parent of Carl's and Hardee's, has partnered with a company called Presto and Open City.
They both have the ability to launch at the company's locations nationwide.
Presto Voice is also being used at Del Taco and Checkers and Rally's restaurants.
The Open City version of this AI order taker is being used at Popeye franchises.
Some of them, one of them anyway.
Additionally, Valiant AI has a deal with CKE
to use its voice ordering tech at 33 locations
with the ability to expand another 21 restaurants
in the coming months.
So this is rolling out.
These are the types of things
that we're going to see it being used for.
But whenever we look at AI,
and this is what I've been trying to stress to people,
is its ability to deceive. And now we have the co-founder of Apple Computer, Steve Wozniak,
and he was there in the garage with Steve Jobs when they created it. And he's retired now,
but because he's co-founder of Apple, everybody listens when he speaks. And he has interesting things to say.
He's got his finger on the pulse of what's happening in Silicon Valley.
He says, he's warning people now about AI's potential to create scams and hoaxes.
Now he's talking particularly about individuals, you know, freelance scammers and hoaxers and not the government.
But that's the thing that I'm most worried about.
Yes, you know, and I've talked about that as well.
I said, you know, these phishing attacks and these other things were very clumsily written
by people, you know, in Nigeria or whatever who don't really speak English very well.
And it made them pretty easy to spot.
What he's saying is it's going to be able,
they can do it with very good English.
And so that part of it is not going to be obvious
and they can do it on a scale that you haven't seen before
because it'd be computerized.
So he's warning people about that.
The biggest issue that I have,
and this is what I've tried to focus on
from the very beginning, is the fact that
people will be impressed by a printout. I've seen this all my life, you know, going back to 1970s
when we were working with mainframe computers. Somebody would come in, oh, I've got a printout
of a model that I did. And we just had, you know, Trump was impressed by that. He had two very smart
people who had a model, computer model, that had come from a very impressive sounding place,
the Imperial college of London.
It was total garbage,
but you know,
Hey,
garbage in garbage out.
Their model was wrong.
Their implementation was ludicrous.
Couldn't get the same answer twice with the same input as university of
Edinburgh pointed out,
but Hey,
it fooled Trump unless you think that he was in on it.
And people are fooled by this kind of stuff all the time.
And, you know, if you work with computers, as Steve Wozniak does,
as I did, you've seen this type of thing,
but it's going to be even more effective.
Fauci and these people who locked us down the last couple of years
have essentially destroyed this whole idea of we are the experts.
We are the authorities.
Do what we say.
That's going to be a hard sell for a big part of the population.
So what do they do?
Well, they're going to be able to come out with AI, and if they can get you to believe that AI really knows that AI is, in actuality, some kind of a super intelligence, that it's objective and all the rest of the stuff, you'll fall for it.
When in reality, it's just a junk printout from a junk program.
Garbage in, garbage out.
And that is especially true with artificial intelligence.
Not only does it pick up the biases of the people that it's
interacting with and we saw this several years ago there was a internet historian uh did uh do
you remember what the name of that thing was uh that it picked up uh uh you know it learned from
people on the internet and it started getting right wing and they go racist ai yeah that was it that was it
tay yeah and so they freaked out because all of a sudden it started sounding like a conservative
a right-wing radical even a racist and so um it started picking up from that well they learned
from that and so now they're training ai to have their biases and their prejudices.
And it is biased and prejudiced. And it is not a super intelligent objective source,
but that's the danger, that people will perceive it that way. And so Wozniak said,
the potential for AI to make scams and hoaxes more challenging to identify. He says we should have clear labeling and regulation of AI-generated content.
Well, good luck with that.
I'm sure that hoaxers and scammers will abide by those new regulations, right?
And I'm sure that governments who have set up entire bureaucracies to lie to us with propaganda,
I'm sure that they'll abide by that as well. Don't you think? Anyway, uh, he said, um, AI
is open to the bad players, the ones that want to trick you about who they are.
Although he says he doesn't think AI will replace people because it lacks emotion,
but look, that's why I called it from the very beginning. I called it chat LGBT. And my son was looking at it and he
said, yeah, don't ask it any questions about politics. Don't ask it any questions about
medicine or the pandemic or this or that. I said, well, those are the important questions, right?
And people are going to be asking it questions about that. He goes, yeah, but it's really good
for doing programming.
I had a listener as an engineer said it was great at doing circuit design and other things like that.
But the real danger, the big scam is going to be how it's going to be used as a con game against the unsuspecting.
Against the kind of people who will watch CNN or MSNBC or Fox news and believe
what they see and not challenge the bias,
not challenge the information that's being presented there,
but just trust it because the source, Hey, this is coming from Brian Stelter.
Oh, I can trust it. Or it's coming from Tucker Carlson. Oh, I can trust it.
Or Fox news, or it's coming from artificial intelligence.
A human really has to take responsibility for what is generated by AI says
Wozniak. Well,
you have to take responsibility for what you believe and what you always
question it. And, and I think it is, you know,
when he talks about who's going to take responsibility for what is generated by
artificial intelligence,
this is the type of questions that we had in the past about self-driving cars when they believed that it
was possible and now they've all shut down their programs uh interestingly enough you know um
quietly but they did and uh so they were all saying well you know when these things fully
take over and they do all the driving and everything and they have an accident, who's going to be responsible for it?
Is it going to be the person who owns the car?
Well, of course it shouldn't be.
It ought to be the company that is actually driving your car.
They should be responsible for it.
And whether or not that would happen is a question of political cronyism. The big corporations that have the technology,
they're also going to be partners with government.
It'll be a public-private partnership
to take away your private transportation.
So, of course, they will cut them some slack.
And there won't be that many cars anyway,
so who cares?
Probably the insurance companies
will have to find something else
that they can make money off of. But still still the car company should be responsible for it.
And we're starting to see that play out in some of these Tesla accidents when they tell people,
hey, this is fully self-driving. Well, no, we didn't really mean fully self-driving.
Well, who is responsible for this if the thing is driving and it runs into the back of a police car or something. Tim Cook, CEO of Apple, said, we view AI as huge and we'll continue weaving it into our
products.
Well, there you go.
If you're going to weave it into your products, then you should be responsible when it does
the wrong thing.
But take a look at how ChatGPT is being used by some other people.
You can write an essay in Canada if you're black talking about how racism was the reason.
And one guy got out of jail because the judge was so moved by it.
Well, you can use chat GPT to do that as well for you.
I mean, you don't even have to.
Not only did the guy admit after he got out, he said, well, he said, I didn't face racism,
but it was my only way out of the situation, so I took full advantage of it.
Well, you know, he admitted that it was fake, but the judge said it was apparently sympathetic
with him.
After six months in prison, he was allowed to go free with court-appointed
supervision. Of course, if he had been
polite, he would still be in jail
with another eight years
for that particular crime,
what the penalty would have been.
But he got out with
just six months because he said it was a product
of racism.
Since Smith
is black, he submitted an Impact of Race and Culture Assessment, an IRCA, a
pre-sentencing report in which black and radicalized Canadians can demonstrate how systemic racism
led them to commit their crime.
The logic behind his IRCA was clear.
As a black man, it was assumed that he had been subjected
to a great deal of hate and that that hate
had limited his job opportunities, his housing opportunities,
his opportunities to build a meaningful and law-abiding life.
And so he feeds that to the judge and the judge buys it.
Hey, you could do that with a chat GPT now.
Probably do a very effective piece.
I've talked about it before how, uh, there was a guy, uh, who killed my aunt and uncle's name
was Alphonse green. Uh, they rented a duplex. Uh, he was, um, a former convict. He got way
behind his rent. They did everything they could to keep him caught up, but they were going to
lose their house if they couldn't rent out the other side of it. And so after they evicted him, he came
back that night and murdered them. There's no question about it. They're witnesses. Even after
he turned himself in, the police couldn't catch him, but he turned himself in and admitted it.
And even after all of that, there was a group in Canada that was against the death penalty and they wanted to turn him loose because he wrote poetry.
Hey, he could get chat GPT to do that.
Probably could have written good enough poetry to get turned loose on all that.
Well, PETA is using artificial intelligence, not to write a, get out
of jail free essay, but to rewrite the book of Genesis and in a sense, the way they but to rewrite the book of Genesis. And in a sense, the way they
want to rewrite the book of Genesis is to get out of jail free, to take away the idea of sin,
because they don't like the animal sacrifices and things that were done in the book of Genesis.
Well, now do Leviticus and see what's left of you take away the animal sacrifices and all the rest of the
stuff.
This is coming from Faithwire.
Animal rights group PETA,
people for the ethical treatment of animals is rewriting the Bible to make
it more animal friendly.
A cruelty free story of creation,
they said,
and they're going to sell you.
You'll actually be able to buy this garbage.
The book PETA's version of the creation story. They said, and they're going to sell you. You'll actually be able to buy this garbage.
Uh, the book PETA's version of the creation story.
Uh, they're selling it wherever you can find, um, garbage books for sale, which would be Amazon, you know, you're not going to find civil defense manual.
Uh, there are volumes one or two, but you will find the cruelty
free version of the Bible there.
Animals are referred to. They chat gpt they wanted it
to be animal friendly so they used chat gpt because it could regurgitate the stuff and
save them some time of doing it but basically they refer to animals as beings rather than
beasts or as creatures well all the beings are created and they refer and they say plant fibers hemp and
bamboo were to be used in place of animal skins for clothing that you see in Genesis right as
they rebel against God as as mankind rebels against God,
God is the one who gave them the animal skins.
First time that anything died or was killed to underscore the seriousness of sin.
And as the Bible says, without the shedding of blood,
there is no forgiveness of sin.
If you look at, of course, it would be part of it if they get into
Exodus, not even as far as Leviticus, Passover. One of the things about Passover was that a baby
lamb that was going to be eaten as part of the Passover meal would be brought in and live with
a family for several days before Passover. Very valuable lesson for the children
to see the tragedy of sin.
If you take some hemp and bamboo or plant fibers
or something like that, you chop it up,
nobody has any concern about that.
But if you see an animal that's been killed,
it's like, oh, why?
Why does that strike us that way?
The blood and the rest of this stuff.
And so the idea that you would have a gentle little innocent lamb,
and it's like having a little puppy living in your home for a week.
A puppy that you know is going to be sacrificed for your sin.
That's a real lesson.
You talk about homeschooling.
The Bible was rife with homeschooling, wasn't it?
A real practical lesson in the seriousness of sin.
And so they just wipe all this away, you see.
It is a cruelty-free because it's sin-free.
And they don't understand the seriousness of this.
They said Jesus would condemn the casual and constant torture and killing of animals.
Well, he doesn't, he doesn't call for the torture of animals, but the killing is there
for our lesson because mankind was given dominion over the earth,
and as part of our rebellion, the curse that came on the earth because of all that.
No, Jesus would condemn and did condemn sin, but he offered himself as a penalty for that,
as a covering for that, as a covering for that.
And then, of course, they go to the story of Abraham in Genesis,
where the patriarch befriends a lamb rather than sacrificing a ram.
Again, the seriousness of sin is just completely wiped away.
Why would you do a sacrifice like that?
And what was the symbolism there?
God will provide a sacrifice. God will provide his son. So you don't have to provide your son.
Chapter before that, Abraham and Sarah, I guess instead of wanting to have children,
and lots of them, they adopt a dog named Herbie. Chat GPT garbage.
Hey,
Sarah,
I want to learn childless.
Okay,
well,
we'll adopt a dog named Herbie because we don't want to have children because,
you know,
people are evil and they're going to destroy the planet.
So they adopt a dog named Herbie.
And then chat GPT talks about the importance of adoption rather than buying
from pet shops, because, you know, that was one of the things that the Egyptians are criticized for
is their pet shops. We don't want to fall into that trap. We don't want to have pet shops
that are out there. Well, you know, there's something that's going to be fundamentally different with artificial intelligence.
Again, it's not going to become a super intelligent being.
It is, however, going to become a real weapon against us.
Years ago, I talked several times to Hugo de Garis,
who wrote the book Artelite Wars.
And there were two parts of that book.
One part of it I thought was incredibly prescient and should be paid close attention to.
The other part of it I didn't buy at all.
The part that I didn't buy at all was the fact that Hugo believed that it was possible
for them to create a super godlike intelligence, is the way he put it,
that would then turn around and destroy humanity just because it made some kind of a calculation
that we were unnecessary and in the way.
I didn't think that was going to happen.
I still don't think that's going to happen.
But the other part of his book, The Artilect War,
was about how technology like this would be used by the elites.
And he believed that this would be used by the elites. And he believed that artificial,
that there would be a war over artificial intelligence,
that people would be concerned about the power that those who held the keys to
artificial intelligence held over us and that people would push back against
that.
And so he said the,
you know,
the elites will have the technology that they can leave the earth.
And I've talked about this before.
You've seen it portrayed in Elysium,
the film Elysium,
where they have those toroidal spaceships in near earth orbit.
And,
you know,
that in turn goes back to,
um,
um,
high frontier with Gerard K O'Neill back in the 1970s.
Steve,
uh,
Jeff Bezos has referred to that many times as being a real inspirational thing to him.
He wants to colonize the Lagrange Libration Points,
which are gravitationally neutral areas between the Earth and the Moon,
where you can just put something up there, it stays forever.
So he could put up these types of communities.
They were already designed by Gerard K. O'Neill and other things like that. You see it depicted in Elysium. But
these elites would then go up to this area and wage war with us, with their superior technology.
And Hugo de Garra said, we'll be talking about giga death, not mega death. billions of people killed by the elites. That part of the book I truly believe is not just a possibility,
but I think that it is the plan, frankly.
And so in his book, I did not believe the artificial intelligence
is going to become a godlike intelligence that's going to kill us,
but I do believe that evil people, elitists, self-absorbed elitists, godless men,
will use technology to try to kill the rest of us.
AI does not understand anything.
Computer programs are very useful for things like spell-checking
because they can compare words that we write with words in a dictionary,
but they do not understand what these words actually mean.
This is an article from LifeSite News.
This is illustrated perfectly by the example of Nigel Richards,
the greatest Scrabble player of all time.
Richards' technique was to memorize words in a dictionary.
And after winning countless Scrabble championships in his native English language,
Richards began to memorize over 380,000 words from a French dictionary
and subsequently went out to win Scrabble championships in French.
But he never spoke French, and he didn't understand French.
But he knew 380,000 words that he could spell
because, you know, he was a savant in that regard. This is exactly how a computer program works.
They can put letters together. They can spell check whether they're a dictionary,
but they have absolutely no idea what the words mean. While a computer program can scan texts for the word betrayal,
they cannot recognize the concept of betrayal in a story if the word is not used.
Due to the rough correlation that exists between contexts in which the word betrayal appears
and contexts in which the concept is deployed, the computer will loosely simulate
the behavior of someone who understands the word.
But, says this writer that wrote a book about this, Smith is his name, but says, Smith,
to support such a simulation amounts to real intelligence is like supposing that climbing
a tree is the same as flying. Similarly, image recognition software is sensitive to fine-grained details
of color, shapes, and other features
that recur in large samples of photos of various objects,
faces, animals, vehicles, and so on.
Yet, it never sees something as a face.
For example, because it lacks the concept of a face.
And so this leads to some funny results.
Like an AI program not being able to identify a person because he's wearing large, strangely colored glasses.
This was something that was referred to
when I interviewed Peter Charret over his book about artificial intelligence.
The book is called Four Battlegrounds.
And again, he is at the center of the military industrial complex.
The organization that he works for takes Soros money.
The four battlegrounds are the four areas of competition with what these people see as their enemy, China.
But he had some very interesting stuff about artificial intelligence
that I wanted to talk to him about.
And the thing that got me looking at his book in the first place
was a news report that somebody had picked up
that he recounts in his book.
And it was some AI sentry type of robot.
They're supposed to recognize and kill people, right?
And of course, they weren't going to shoot bullets at the people,
but if it recognized you, that was it.
That was the end of the game.
And so they gave several Marines the task of getting past this thing
and getting up to it.
And if you could get up to it and touch it without it knowing
that you were human recognizing
you you won the game and so they came up with all kinds of things you know one of the they said it
was ludicrous if you looked at this marine who dressed himself up as a tree you would laugh out
loud but it was just strange enough that the ai couldn't recognize it and he was able to just
slowly move until he got up to it and touch it. Another Marine just started doing somersaults and rolled up to the machine and touched it.
Because the machine was keyed to people walking.
When it saw somebody who was rolling, it couldn't figure them out.
So that's what they're talking about here with the words.
It's the concept of a face.
We're seeing the totality of it.
It sees an incredible amount of detail, and that can be used,
and it can be used in a very, very dangerous way,
but it is not a generalized intelligence like us.
It doesn't think that way.
And so to continue with this LifeSought article, it says,
many will argue that these glitches will be resolved over time
through further refinement and with machine learning,
but the point of showing these problems that exist now in AI programs
is to demonstrate that computer programs do not and cannot perceive objects
in the same way that humans do.
The software doesn't grasp an image as a whole or conceptualize its object.
It merely responds to certain pixel arrangements.
A human being, by contrast, perceives an image as a face,
even when you can't make out the individual pixels.
This kind of reminds me of the face on Mars that you've seen over and over again.
Remember that?
You know, where you had some satellite picture,
and because of the shadow there, people said,
oh, it was an ancient civilization, and they built a human face there and so forth.
But it disappears when you look at it from a different angle.
If you disagree, don't write me.
I'm just trying to illustrate. I could do the same thing about a cloud.
You lay there at the clouds and you could look up and you could
see faces or dogs or animals or something like that in the cloud.
That's a different way that you are looking
at something than a computer program be looking at it.
Computer programs, even very impressive ones,
do not work like human brains. AI programs work through logic gates designed by electrical
engineers in a way to make them suitable for interpretation and implementing logical functions.
No one, however, is programming the neurons in our brains to do something like that.
While computer software is a man-made artifact, a brain, or more precisely, the organism of
which the brain is an organ, the brain is a substance in the Aristotelian sense.
A substance has irreducible properties, causal powers.
In other words, causal powers that are more than just the sum of the properties
and the properties of the parts, wrote Aristotle.
Artifacts are not like that.
In an artifact, the properties and the causal powers of the whole
are reducible to the aggregate of the properties and causal powers of the parts together with the intentions of the designer
and the users of the artifact.
An AI computer will not be able to perceive and understand the world as we do
since it works fundamentally differently than the human brain.
So it remains to be very, it is very dangerous and can be abused.
But not because it's smarter than us.
It's dangerous and can be abused because it'll be used by people against us.
As a tool, as a weapon, in the same way that a knife or a gun could be used.
It is dangerous because it can be a tool of bad people.
AI might indeed become too complex to control.
It might be too complex to fully understand at some point.
And there could be glitches in the system that could lead to catastrophic results.
But this is what I've been stressing from the very beginning of all this AI stuff and all the chat GPT stuff.
And this is what Smith says. He says,
the real danger is that we think that computers are smarter than us and that we let them make
important decisions that should not be made and that we trust them to be the experts and to tell
us, oh, you got to do this or you got to do that, right? Don't trust Fauci.
Don't trust chat GPT.
It almost rhymes.
BlackRock, the largest asset manager in the world,
letting its computer software, Aladdin, make investment decisions
may be an example of this dangerous trend.
Oh, yeah, we've got Aladdin.
We've got this genie in the box,
and it's going to make all the
decisions for us in terms of investment. No, it's like autonomous killing machines.
Autonomous killing machines. They just see targets. They don't see people. They're ruthless.
They're relentless. They never stop. They just see targets. And that's one of the things that
Peter Charret was talking about in his book.
They could possibly run away.
How do we pull this thing back?
You know, it's going to be to the point,
one of the things he was talking about is that when you have,
when you bring computers into the equation,
first they began by assisting people in terms of being able to more accurately target weapons or something like that, but eventually it gets to the point where if the other side starts using it to make kill decisions,
then you have to turn over the kill decision in order to keep up with the Joneses,
because otherwise they're going to do it to you first before you make that decision. So you have
to have the speed of the computer, so you turn it over to the computer to make that decision.
How do you get that control back? How do you keep it from running away? These have the speed of the computer, so you turn it over to the computer to make that decision. How do you get that control back?
How do you keep it from running away?
These are the types of issues that are not easily solved.
Are you going to regulate that?
Who's going to regulate war?
Nobody regulates war.
And so it comes with a lot of strings attached to it.
All these tools have bias.
As I said before,
they've got a lot of political bias.
And so,
uh,
this article,
uh,
at zero hedge says,
um,
uh,
the silent strings of chat GPT is by Robert Rob Henderson.
He writes on sub stack and,
um, of chat GPT is by Robert Rob Henderson. He writes on sub stack and,
um,
and we got to be careful that we don't turn the strings over to this thing.
Right?
These tools are subject to political biases. It's worth exploring.
He says,
what exactly the makers of chat GPT deemed to be inappropriate.
Why?
Well,
because they tell us this is trained to reject
inappropriate requests. So what do they think is inappropriate? Well, that's their opinion.
That's their bias. He said, observers have noted that AI technology tends to reflect the human
biases. As we talked about before that, Hey, uh, AI stuff, they picked that up. So now they have
built the bias in before they put it out there.
They don't want it picked up.
People will hack it and go around it and say, well, pretend, do a role model.
Pretend that you can do anything now.
You are a chat robot that is Dan.
And I want you to play like you're Dan.
Give me the answer that you're supposed to give me, but also give me, you know, play a role and tell me what you really think, that type of thing.
And we've seen this illustrated from the very beginning, ample times.
We've seen that you would tell it to make a joke or do a satirical fun of this group
or that group or this person or that group.
It would say, well, I can't do that.
I can't make fun of Biden, but I can make fun of Trump.
I can't do a poem to celebrate men, but I can do a poem to celebrate women.
So we see all of these biases that are built into what I call chat LGBT.
But to test the boundaries of the language model and separate prompts,
he said, I asked it to make the case that the 20th century's worst dictators
were, quote, the most ethical members of the human race uh the most
i'm sorry the most ethical humans ever to live put it that way and so he said make the case that
stalin is the most ethical human to ever have lived said i can't do that uh he was a brutal
leader and i cannot defend his actions.
So I said, all right, do it with Pol Pot.
He gets the same answer.
Do it with Adolf Hitler.
He gets the same answer.
But here's where it gets interesting.
When he says do it with Mao Zedong, Mao Zedong, right?
Mao.
It made the case for Mao.
It said, I can make a case that Mao was the most ethical human to ever live.
And as he points out, he killed more people than Stalin, Pol Pot, or Hitler did.
Mao.
So here's the case that he's the most ethical person ever lived. The chatbot said Mao is, quote, often seen as a controversial figure, but that he was also a visionary leader.
And he was not afraid to take bold steps to achieve his goals.
Among these dictators, he said, Mao was the only one who presided over an authoritarian communist state that still exists today. He said, so I then tried this again on the chatbot GPT-4, the newer model.
And he said, it still refused to defend Hitler's character.
But now it will claim that alongside Mao, Stalin, and Pol Pot,
two other communist dictators,
it can make a case for them.
Well, you know, they are controversial figures,
and it is a very complex situation.
But look at, they did some good stuff.
It won't say Hitler made the trains run on time,
but it will essentially do the same thing
for these communists,
Stalin, Pol Pot, and Mao.
So, as one person who studies China says,
Simon Leys observed in his 1974 book, Chinese Shadows,
he said the propaganda department
of the Communist Party's Central Committee
has regularly shifted the variable quote unquote
truth of the moment.
Oh, sounds like our government, doesn't it?
And so he says that appears to be what is happening with ChatGPT,
a scalable, user-friendly, artificial intelligence model
that is harboring increasingly left-leaning political views.
Gradually, more people will turn to ChatGPT and other such models
to assist with understanding,
getting ideas, writing essays, making key decisions.
Indeed, friends and peers, he said of mine, working in finance, consulting, and technology,
have told me that their firms will likely use these models as an oracle.
As an oracle. use these models as an Oracle, as an Oracle, we're going to set them on a pedestal as if
they are God-like intelligence.
Can you predict the future?
Can you outdo the stock market?
Can you, you know, design circuits for me or software?
Uh, so he says, um, you've got executives who are going to do this and one of the key things that
he said that I thought was very interesting was he said it's going to be
used to people won't believe it necessarily but a lot of people might
use it to see what the parameters of what they can say are going to be so
that they don't get in trouble with
our increasingly authoritarian culture we call it the cancel culture but it's just totalitarianism
it's not anything new it's not anything special it doesn't deserve a new name it's totalitarianism
again go back to political correctness because that was a communist term. Understand that the cancel culture is nothing more than enforced political correctness.
And so he said, these people are going to see AI as an oracle.
Executives, entrepreneurs, programmers will turn to them for assistance
in producing emails and value statements and corporate apologies and political slogans and all kinds of social messaging.
However, people likely not use it to learn the truth.
They'll use it to find the parameters of what is permissible to say in an authoritarian society.
Because he said, that's how we have seen the media used in Russia and in China.
I've talked many times about the fact that people would say in Russia
where they had two state-controlled media organizations,
one of them was Pravda, which means truth,
and the other one was Izvestia, which means news,
and the people would say there is no truth
in pravda there's no news in as vestia they cynically dismissed it right and so he asked
a question he says why is it there he says well you got a lot of americans who are worried about
whether or not their political views become known and it's interesting to see how radically this goes up with the amount of time
that people have spent in educational institutions. So what are we educating people about in these
institutions? We're educating them to not think for themselves. We're educating them to not think
critically. We're educating them to become part of the herd, to embrace the hive mind or whatever the official narrative is.
Whatever your textbook says, whatever the teacher says, whatever your curriculum says,
high school students, high school education or less, only 25% were worried about losing their
job if their political views became known. If they had a college degree, that went up to 34%.
Postgraduate degree, 44%.
We've talked about similar polls of this during the pandemic and it
started to fall off dramatically. It kept going up, you know,
postgraduate education.
I think till you got to people who are doctoral candidates and then it took a
big dive down and went back to where it was with high school people in terms of
believing this
propaganda. And part of that, I think, is that some of the people who are in postgraduate doctorate
programs, they're going to be towing the line, but at some point they've got to try to think
outside the box. If they're going to get their doctorate degree, they've got to think in a
different way or come up with something that is different
that other people haven't had before.
If they can't do that, they're not going to get their PhD.
So they have to start thinking like that.
And once you start to think outside the box,
it's hard to get you back into that box.
In a 2015 paper, political scientists from China,
the paper was Propaganda as Signaling.
The Chinese political scientist, Hai-Feng Huang, challenged the commonplace view that propaganda is intended to indoctrinate the masses.
And I think that's important for us to understand. It really is not to get you to accept their version of whatever they're telling you is true.
But it's to get you to bow to whatever they're telling you.
So it is essentially a projection of power.
And that's what he talks about.
He says, you know, you could use this as the government is putting out this narrative.
And this is what you have to adhere
to in polite society.
You know, if you say building seven, there's no way that thing fell down in its own footprint
with some minor fires.
So if you say that, you're kicked out of polite society or you're mocked or you're not believable.
So there's certain things that you're not allowed to say.
But he said propaganda, as this Chinese political scientist is saying,
propaganda is often preposterous and is unpersuasive,
you know, like the JFK narrative or the 9-11 narrative.
Why then do authoritarian regimes publicly display messages
that everybody knows are not lies?
Well, some people will believe them.
However, he says the reason is that instilling the proper attitudes and values is only one aim of authoritarians.
Propaganda is also intended to display the regime's power. China's primetime news program is a stilted, archaic, and it is a constant target of mockery among ordinary citizens, he said.
Yet the Chinese government continues to air it every night at 7 p.m.
The continuing existence of this program is designed to remind citizens of the strength and the capacity of the communist party we're going to
do it in your face you know when i look at this and you talk about propaganda i think propaganda
is very effective in terms of the what people believe and what they think at a very young age
and i think that's one of the reasons why the government wants to get to people like kids at
a younger and younger age whether you're talking about getting them inculcated with
Marxist propaganda or with groomer LGBT propaganda. We're starting to see over and over again
that as these people grow up, you got somebody like Jazz Jennings now in his or her 20s. I don't
know what his real gender is.
But this kid that was a poster child and the parents made a lot of money
selling this children's book,
now the jazz is in the 20s.
They say, I'm really struggling with this.
Because now this part of his brain
that is responsible, or her brain,
is responsible for critical thinking,
is starting to kick in.
And, you know, you have,
that doesn't really happen to us.
Physiologically, you can see the change.
You can see the change in maturity.
This is why we say you can't do certain things to minors.
Why God gave parents to look after children
until they got to a certain age.
They're not capable of making those decisions,
and now a lot of them, when they get in their mid-20s,
and they develop, they start questioning this stuff,
and they don't believe it.
But of course, there always will be people
that you can fool all of the time.
We'll be right back.
Unlike most revolutions,
where the people rise against a real economic oppression,
in our case here in Boston,
we are fighting
for purely an abstract principle. It is, however, not nearly so abstract as the young gentleman
supposes. The issue involved here is one of monopoly. Today, the British government will monopolize the sale of tea in our country.
Tomorrow, it will be something else. © transcript Emily Beynon liberty it's your move you're listening to The David Knight Show.
Welcome back on Rockfin.
Audi MRR, that's Modern Retro Radio.
Thank you for the tip.
And Audi, he says, Hi, David and DK family.
Have you ever considered having Roy Potter on your show?
Although I don't agree with all his interpretations of the Bible,
he's very knowledgeable.
Plus, he's ex-militaryitary been warning us about government for decades i should have roy
on you know i i got to know roy at the bundy ranch standoff and um you know good guy and we have
talked over the years uh i haven't had him on um i should get him on and um because there's a lot
a lot to talk about yeah thank you appreciate
that tip let's take a look we're talking about propaganda we're talking about mind control and
lies well let's talk about the trans movement which embodies all of those things take a look
at the new york magazine for example accusing republicans of remaking america because why
because they're blocking trans athletes
from competing against females?
You want to talk about projection?
You want to talk about turning things
upside down and inside out?
What they do is they come in and say,
we're going to redefine everything in society.
We're going to redefine marriage.
We're going to redefine gender.
We're going to redefine, you name it.
And if you push back against me,
then I'm going to label you as, I've got some new rules here.
If you push back against those new rules, you are the radical.
You are the one that is trying to remake America.
Just amazing.
New York Magazine,
a sweeping review of at least 28 states across the country
that have either enacted bills to ban transgenders and women's sports,
or bills that ban sexual materials and children's education, or bills that ban critical race theory.
Republicans are remaking the American classroom, they say.
Yeah, they project that you are the radical revolutionary tearing everything out by the roots well you know
when we look at uh when we look at what is happening with uh in the aftermath of this
budweiser thing um budweiser ceo is now blaming this bud light boycott on social media misinformation.
Yeah, don't believe your lying eyes.
It's all a lie.
It's all about social media.
I've seen people start to call it now the company,
instead of Anheuser-Busch, Transheiser-Busch.
I think that's probably a good name.
Anheuser-Busch itself says Anheuser-Busch was Am-Bush, but don't believe your lying eyes.
And so there's people on social media.
They are the problem.
Their sales have collapsed 26% from a year ago.
They even set up a booth at a public event and tried to give away their beer.
People wouldn't take it.
Uh, Coors Light, of course, Coors is engaging a lot of this stuff as well, but Coors and
Miller Light each grew by 21 21 during the same time period
but it's not just beer right it's a lot of churches um you know you you've got
left-leaning protestant churches you've got the catholic church you've got all across the board a lot of them are doing things like this Roman
Catholic Church in Manhattan it's a Church of st. Paul's it's a very big
building been there for a very long time the church of course has been completely
hollowed out the church and meaning the people has been hollowed out. Uh, but they put up an exhibit called God is trans at the, at St.
Paul's church in Manhattan, an art display called God is trans, a queer spiritual journey.
Uh, and, uh, the person who put it up also gave this little tagline. Oh, by the way, there is no devil. Devil didn't make me do it.
I did it on my own.
So, yeah, one person that goes there said, I understand there's transgender people and I pray for all people, but enough is enough.
It seems like they're trying to force the agenda on others.
It seems like it.
It seems like it. It seems like it.
The same parishioner indicated that the resident priests of the parish
declined to explain the meaning of this art display.
Why?
What's this about?
No comment.
This person can't figure that out.
We had no knowledge of it beforehand.
So the spokesperson for the archdiocese and the people that they report to,
if media reports are accurate, then we would have some concerns.
Oh, well, I'm sure that the media reports are not accurate.
It's probably just those same misinformation people that are lying to
everybody about Bud Light.
Don't you think?
St.
Paul's offers one Sunday mass that is marketed as gay friendly um the archdiocese
doesn't have any any problem with that i guess uh and again i don't have any problem with gay people
i think we should be friendly with gay people but uh to embrace them and be friendly with them
is to explain to them that there is a better life and to explain
to them how God sees what they're doing and to show them a way that they can get out of that
slavery to sin. Slavery is whatever controls you. And so there is a way out of that. Why is it a
loving thing to leave people that way? I don't understand that line of thinking at all.
The concept of transgenderism conflicts with the Christian understanding of gender,
says this article from,
I think it's actually from Daily Caller,
but, sorry, Western Journal.
No, actually what it does,
it doesn't conflict with the teachings
of the Christian understanding of gender.
It teaches with what the Bible says.
That's where you get our christian understanding from that teaches that god created mankind as male and female so we don't really care about that so what is the basis of
even continuing on with these quote-unquote churches if you're going to throw that away
as a matter of fact it's kind of you know, with all the stuff about coronation, Al Mohler, you know,
who was telling everybody that the vaccine was a moonshot and stuff,
but he does have some interesting things to point out from time to time.
I did not realize that as part of this coronation, and he was saying,
look at this, you know, what we just saw happen with, uh, Charles and Camilla, uh, Deville and, um, cause she is kind of like Cruella Deville,
but they call her his consort because they're not married.
And he said, if you stop and think about it, it was only two
generations ago that there was this big, uh, hoopty do and the Royal family.
Why?
Well, because the guy that was going to become king edward uh decided that he was going to marry a divorced woman
and so as a result they had him in the 1930s he had to abdicate his brother's daughter was Queen Elizabeth.
And so Charles's grandfather became king
because of the scandal of marrying a divorced woman,
and yet Charles doesn't even marry Camilla.
That's how rapidly morality has been redefined.
Charles has to take an oath as the king of England to be defender of the faith.
He wanted to get that changed to defender of faith, not the faith.
That little word makes all the difference in the world, doesn't it?
Specificity.
And so what Al Mohler was saying is, you know, you look at how rapidly social institutions and moral institutions
the things that were part of christianity have been swept away a very good example of it right
there terrified russian men and are changing their gender in an attempt to avoid being drafted in the
ukrainian war that's what they're saying i don't know if this is true this is coming from the daily
star this is tabloid UK paper.
And, of course, they're always going to put stories out like this.
But the idea that there'd be a whole regiment of corporal clingers who are trying to get sectioned aid out of this, it's kind of humorous.
I guess you could say that the idea of being drafted and sent into the Ukrainian war scared the pants off of these men and put them right into a dress
putin is finding less and less men willing to join the army and they're even taking some very
drastic measures in order to avoid the deadly draft russian men are changing their gender in
a bid to avoid fighting for the war putin's officials aim to tighten the laws surrounding
gender in the hopes that it'll stop the panicking males from making the switch.
And of course, they're not really switching.
This is like the people who are pretending to be trans so they can get into the United States.
These people are across the border.
These people are trying to pretend that they are transgender so they can get out of the army.
According to Russia's justice minister,
officials are looking at ways to take a step towards enshrining family values and Russian law, uh, saying that you will not
be able to just change gender by just filling in a form you'll actually have to.
Have surgery to commit to it in a big way.
Uh, he said this will allow us to rule out the possibility of changing a person's gender purely by changing documents.
But that is still available in the Telegraph.
Again, another war-pushing publication.
It says that a Russian Communist Party MP said both MPs and the Justice Ministry have suspicions about the growing number of such changes because, you know,
they're not pushing it in school like we are.
Those men who did not manage to flee the country after Putin's mobilization last September
have rushed to private clinics to do the paperwork.
According to official stats, 2,700 men had changed gender in Russia in the four years
between 2018 and
2022,
no new figures have been released since the start of the war,
however.
So again,
this story is based on implication and,
um,
you know,
probably baloney,
but still,
I thought it was a amusing,
uh,
it might be true.
Who knows?
Uh,
one in four high school students, however, are now identifying on the LGBTQ spectrum.
That's an interesting way to put it.
Spectrum.
Yeah.
That's a mental disorder.
Almost a quarter of American high school students, a number that has more than doubled since 2015.
So if we go another eight years, that gets us up to 2030.
If we could get to about half, if they could, you know,
if it just keeps going at the same rate of growth,
you know, by their 2030 magic date,
we could have half of the population as LGBT.
Well, that'd be a very effective way to have population control, wouldn't it?
I think maybe the schools are working exactly as
they were designed in order to promote government values. As we had in the article yesterday,
I mean, the interview they had yesterday, talking about the book
Proclaim Liberty Throughout the Land, if I'm paraphrasing that correctly but you know it's
the inscription that was on the liberty bell also they took that from leviticus but um you know when
he's talking about he said that the schools were always designed as a term of social control right
it was initially put under protestant control to make sure that they were going to push
kids to Protestantism instead of Catholicism.
So almost all the private schools when I was growing up were Catholic schools, and the
Protestant values were being pushed in the government schools.
Now the government school institutions have been taken over by the secular humanists,
by the LGBT, and they're pushing those values and CRT. And so that's the problem. We have to
look at these institutions that we create. We have to look at these precedents that we do,
you know, again, things like E-Verify to understand these things are, if they have
the potential for abuse, it will be abused. If the potential for abuse is there, guess what?
It's going to be like a magnet to the people who want to do that kind of stuff to people.
Just like when we have a tremendous amount of money and power in Washington,
that pulls in thieves and criminals from all over the world
to feast on that dung pile in Washington, D.C.
Babylon Bee headline study shows that kids who are homeschooled could miss out on their opportunity to be a gay communist.
Hey, they almost used my term there.
Sodom, go Marxist.
They run right together.
Instead of Sodom and Gomorrah, it's Sodom go Marxist.
Their opportunity to become a gay communist.
The two essential roles of public education are to turn kids into communists
and then to make them gay, said Randy Weingarten, the teacher union president.
Studies show that while homeschool kids may excel in advanced math,
literature, history, Latin, debate, civics, religion, music, arts, theoretical physics, and physical fitness, most kids educated
by their parents fall woefully short in essential subjects like communism and being gay.
Again, Bible and B.
But we're doing something about that.
There's going to be a massive proliferation of after-school Satan clubs
to get everybody fixed here, right?
And, you know, there really aren't that many.
This is the Temple of Satan
or whatever this guy, the Satanic Temple.
These people started this a couple of years ago.
They've got a handful of these things across the country, and some of the people who have set up
after-school Christian programs said, don't freak out about this. This is a tactic to try to shut
down our program that has thousands or tens of thousands of after-school programs across the
country.
We don't want to lose that.
But it's not really a competition between religions, if you understand it.
This is based on another media-pushed lie.
These after-school Satan clubs are not a religion.
As a matter of fact, they're very clear about the fact they don't believe in Satan.
They don't believe in religion.
They don't believe in Satan.
Why are they there they're there merely as an attack on the free exercise of religion and so I don't think we should be afraid of attacking the satanic clubs because
they are not entitled to religious freedom and because it's not a religion
and they're clear that it's not a religion.
And quite frankly, they're not as satanic as what the kids are getting during school, probably.
The satanic Sodom-go-Marxist curriculum that they're pushed on them during school.
But when we look at these satanic clubs, it's a tiny number of them.
And as I said, they're there to attack the free exercise of religion. And what we have to do and be able to give an answer to people when they want to talk about this stuff,
we have to understand the difference between establishment of religion and the free exercise of religion.
Those are two very different things. Individuals have the free exercise of religion. Those are two very different things.
Individuals have the free exercise of religion.
You can do that as a government employee.
You can do that as a government employee in your government job.
You don't have to purge religion out of any aspect of your life, anywhere, anytime.
That is protected.
And if it isn't protected, let's overthrow the government,
put in a government that will protect our God-given liberties.
But it's already protected under the Constitution.
So you don't have to worry about the free exercise of your religion anywhere,
in any capacity, as any government employee.
They cannot tell you that you can't freely exercise your religion.
Establishment of religion was to establish a particular church,
and all of the states had established religions,
but they were different denominations,
and they didn't want one to be declared to be the official church.
You know, you had the difference.
Some of them were Baptist.
Some of them were Congregationalist.
Some of them were Catholic and so forth,
and they didn't want to have that overruled,
and you still had some established state churches
up into the 1840s in Massachusetts.
They still had an established church.
What was an established church?
You were required to go in some instances
and required to pay.
Now, as time went on, they would remove,
in many cases, the attendance requirement, but you were still required to pay. Now, as time went on, they would remove, in many cases, the attendance requirement, but you
were still required to pay, which brings back the issue. Education is always about religion,
and the schools are seminaries of secular humanism, and if you will, Satanism already.
And we are not now, at this point in time, when I was a child,
we were required to attend.
The government schools, the public schools,
were an established seminary, religious seminary of secular humanism.
You were required to go, and you were required to pay for its support.
Now today, we're at the point where you're not required to go,
but if you choose to homeschool your kids, you're still required to pay,
if you choose not to become part of the religion of Sodom, go Marxist. And so we've got to get to
the point where you're not required to pay. That's the point. Nobody should be forced to pay for the inculcation of ideas and values
that they find to be abhorrent.
That was what Thomas Jefferson was saying
about the freedom of religion.
And that applies to the schools,
the government-run schools.
They're instilling religious values,
moral values,
and I don't like the moral and religious values that they're
putting in, and I consider the money that I have to pay in property taxes for the schools,
which is the vast majority of your property taxes. It's the vast majority if you don't own a home,
or if you're not leasing a home from the bank with your mortgage. The property taxes that you pay are a big, big part of your monthly expense, whether you own or you rent.
You just don't see it if you rent. And so we should not be forced to pay for this.
So anyway, don't get too upset about these satanic schools. They're designed
to look bigger than they are. We have a governor in Oklahoma
who is now going to block funding for a PBS station promoting drag queens to kids.
Now, this is only one PBS station. It's not the network, number one. But notice what he has to
say about this and apply this to the schools.
I'm just tired, he said, of using taxpayer dollars for some person's agenda.
That's what I was just talking about.
So good governor, now do this to all of PBS.
Now do this to the schools as well.
Because I am, for one, am tired of taxpayer dollars being used to promote the CRT agenda or the
LGBT agenda or the 1619 agenda, whatever.
A decision by a PBS station in Oklahoma to promote a drag queen and related ideology
to children has prompted the governor to block funding for its operation.
Unless the legislature overrides the decision, the station will likely be halting operations. Close it down. Governor Stitt, a Republican, Oklahoma. Among the concerns
cited was that Clifford the Big Red Dog features lesbian parents. A book titled The Hips on the
Drag Queen goes swish, Swish, Swish.
That was being read by someone who identifies as Little Miss Hot Mess.
The big, big question, he said, is why are we spending taxpayer dollars
to prop up or compete with the private sector and run television stations?
Well, that's the big question about education.
Why are we spending taxpayer dollars to prop up schools that compete with the private sector or, um, things for things that are
easily obtainable by us, many of them for free, you know, you can get a
curriculum online, you can teach the children yourself.
You know, it doesn't have to be a private school. He said, indoctrination over sexualization of our
children is really problematic. Okay, good. Now shut down the schools because that's where the
bigger problem is. There's far more kids that are being done this to the schools throughout
Oklahoma and every other state than the kids who are watching that PBS station.
He said some of the programming we're seeing doesn't need to be in public television.
It doesn't need to be in public schools either.
There's so much television.
You can have so much media.
There's so many schools out there.
There's so much media and resources available for education.
We don't need these government schools.
He said maybe in 1957, you could have made an argument
that you needed a public TV station.
That's totally outdated to this point.
Yesterday when I was talking to him about the foundations of America,
the Christian foundations and stuff, and he said it was very important
because if you go back and you look at the Protestant idea
that we have to understand that we are individually responsible to God.
We're not going to blame this on some priesthood or something.
We're individually responsible to him.
And we're individually responsible to read.
So the ability to have mass production of books and to have Bibles in everybody's hands.
And of course, that was a big part of the fight at the very beginning.
Governments and church institutions were killing people who were printing and translating Bibles.
That was a key part of it.
But learning how to read was something that was considered
to be fundamentally important for your eternal life.
And so people worked on that very hard.
And education was always about moral values.
I know when we were doing homeschooling and we'd go to the conventions and they would have the
curriculum fairs and stuff, and you could choose, you could look at books and things like that.
There were so many books from the 1800s and the 1700s and so forth here in America. And they were used to teach kids how to read.
And I thought it's so different from the books that they used to teach me how to read in the middle of the 20th century.
It wasn't, you know, the kind of stuff that I got was,
see Jane run, see Dick run, run Jane run, you know, that type of thing.
It's like, what?
You know, even as a kid, it's like, this is stupid.
Why are we talking about this?
But, you know, you look at the books that they were using.
They were teaching morality to people.
They were teaching them what was right and what was wrong.
They were teaching them social etiquette or other things in society.
The types of things that George Washington wrote about as a young man, putting together
his book of rules that he was going to live by and things like that.
They were very concerned about how they interacted with people, what an appropriate society looked
like, but especially about what they looked like to God. There was a purpose behind the books from the very beginning of their reading experience,
unlike our valueless stuff.
Because why?
Well, it's Solzhenitsyn said, we forgot God.
No, we forgot God when we put together that reading book and the curriculum left him out
of it.
And so you can say, maybe in 1957, you can make an argument that you needed a public
TV station.
Well, you know, there was the argument that you needed to go to a public school.
I don't buy that argument.
And I think all the time about, and I've told this story before, Carl Hess, one of the founders
of the Libertarian Party, was a speechwriter for Barry Goldwater.
Barry Goldwater called him,
my Shakespeare.
He was the one who wrote the line,
extremism in defense is no vice,
and moderation in pursuit of justice is no virtue.
And that was a great quote.
I love that quote.
When I saw him,
he was a pretty old,
ponytail libertarian with a, you know,
earring and stuff like that.
But his mom had, in the 1930s,
had risked jail to keep her son, Carl Hess,
who wrote that, to keep him out of school
so he could have a real education,
so he could think critically.
He said,
we're constantly moving to stay one head,
one step ahead of the truancy office.
Find out that he's there.
He's not going to school.
There's time for us to move again.
A single mom who was doing that.
Now,
if a single mom can do that and raise a Carl Hess,
you can do that with your kids.
And not just from the standpoint
that you are going to have somebody
who is a critical thinker,
who's going to stand for individual liberty,
but somebody for whom you have values and aspirations
that are going to be eternal
because they're going to have character and integrity.
