* PayPal caves to public pressure, removes $2,500 "fine" their new "terms of service" would steal for every violation of "truth" as determined by your overlords.

As the clock strikes 13, it's Monday, the 10th of October, Year of Our Lord 2022, Day 940 of the emergency. Today we're going to talk about what is happening with PayPal and Twitter. What is really behind this? And it really is the direction that the country is moving in. Hidden and overt control of everything, but especially speech.

We'll take a look at what is going on with EVs as well as the pharmaceutical agenda. Jon Stewart, a very interesting back and forth with the Attorney General of Arizona. We're going to play that for you as well as cops out of control across the country. This is the type of thing that Black Lives Matter is not focusing on. Black Lives Matter was to direct you away from any reform of police practices. Stay with us. We'll be right back. Well, we've had a lot of information over the last week about what PayPal intends to do. Most people have focused on the $2,500 fine that they decided they would do if they unilaterally decided that they disagreed with your content.

They will be the final arbiters of truth and they will confiscate $2,500 per lie that they label you as. And so a lot of people rightfully focused on that. I focused more so last week on the, um, the purchase of a company that they've been using to de-platform people. And they've been escalating that quite a bit. I was de-platformed as you know, back in May of 2021. And, um, you know, now a lot of people are starting to get that. It's escalating. Why? Well, because

they've been using this more and more and they purchased the company. They're going to make profit by censoring people. That's the key thing. They're going to do this and offer this service to other platforms. And podcasts are one of the last places that we can speak freely. I get censored in other places, but not on podcasts, except at Spotify. And so Spotify is doing this and pushing this out. PayPal, on the other hand, has been deplatforming people economically, not just with their free speech. And then they added the fine to this as well.

So now, after this got a lot of attention, within about 48, 72 hours, PayPal has now reversed that, saying we're not going to do that. They gave themselves the power through revised terms of services. And again, the TOS is unbelievably long. It took people a while to realize that they had done this. And then once they did, it really went viral.

It actually appeared, according to some people, believed that it created something of a run on PayPal itself, people pulling their money out. And so there was a delay and they said, well, you know, it's going to get harder and harder. What it's going to look like in the 21st century, as you go to digital banking, is it going to be identifiable as a run or will they be able to have plausible deniability and say, well, this is just something happening with software. That's why you can't get your money just yet.

So on October the 8th, which is Saturday, they pulled back and said they would not be implementing the new policy to seize money from people as well as to gag them. Isn't this just amazing? So I want to talk about all of this, the ESG, talk about what's going on with Twitter. It is still back and forth with Elon Musk, but it may not even matter whether Elon Musk gets Twitter or not, regardless of what his intentions are. I'll show you that as well. So PayPal said they will not be fining people for misinformation.

They said the language was never intended to be inserted into our policy. So after two or three days, they came back and said, well, that was a mistake. We were wrong. You were wrong. You said you were going to not only suspend people without any, they don't even tell you when they kick you off, just like YouTube. They don't even tell you what they had an issue with.

They will not respond to any questions about it. There is no appeal of this processless encounter with these tyrants. No, they won't tell you what it's about, but if they think that it's false, they just kick you off. So they put out some false information? Oh, well, how will they be punished for that? What they said was, we put out some misinformation about seizing money. And remember, that is what misinformation is, according to them. They have a very specific definition now. Misinformation is something that they say is false.

Well, they said that's false. Disinformation is something that they say is false. Well, they said that's false. Disinformation is distributing it. And malinformation is doing it with harm. And so they are guilty of both myths and disinformation. They distributed it far and wide. And it was false. Perhaps PayPal should pay $2,500 to each of these people who signed this terms of service.

Maybe that would be a good idea. Liquidate the lies. But on a daily skeptic of the UK, there's an article asking, is PayPal about to go bankrupt? Did they have a run over this? They said with the stock prices of both Credit Suisse and Deutsche Bank under pressure, many in the financial field are becoming concerned that the world could be facing a renewed financial crisis.

He says it might not even be the banks that pose the greatest financial risk to consumers. It could be payment providers like PayPal. The really big difference between 2007 and 2022 is that the bank runs no longer look like a bank run. You don't see people queued up in a line like they're showing there outside of a bank. No, instead, it looks like, well, we're sorry, something seems to have gone wrong. Please try again later.

He says, that's what I noticed when I tried to transfer 500 pounds from my PayPal account to a regular bank account. He said, on Sunday morning, the same message was still occurring. A quick scan of social media proved that I was not alone. So a lot of people were getting this message. Something has gone wrong. We can't process your payment. You can't get any money out. He said, boycott PayPal was also trending on Twitter. So was this a coincidence? Are we a coincidence theorist?

If you're going to have people boycotting PayPal, angry about not only their censorship, but about their terms of service to steal money from you, and you start to realize, as people did when Justin Trudeau did that in Canada, right? Shut down people's money in their bank accounts because of their political statements that were perfectly legal and supported under that form of government. And people started to get their money out of the banks. Well, people started to boycott PayPal as well. Let me get my money out of there. I don't want to.

Yeah, who knows what they are going to. They don't like my politics. They're going to steal $2,500 per disagreement, you know, per supposed lie. I mean, we're not talking about just one fine. Oh, you said a bunch of things we don't like $2,500. No, it's $2,500 for each thing they didn't like. And so I could very well believe as he does that you had a lot of people who decided they were going to sever their relationships with this evil company, and they were all trying to get their money out at the same time. Now, if you do that to a bank, a bank run, they may have the resources other places, and he says,

yeah, PayPal definitely does have the resources, but they may have to close the bank temporarily in order to maintain liquidity, which is what you would physically see. You would see people lined up. You would see the teller come out. Sorry, we're closed declaring a bank holiday.

Can't get your money out. At live score bet. We love Cheltenham just as much as we love football, the excitement, the roar, and the chance to reward you. That's why every day of the festival, we're giving new members money back as a free sports bet up to €10

Free speech advocates had spotted the new agreement allowing a sum of $2,500 to be lifted from their accounts if PayPal ever found them guilty of, quote, sending, posting, or publication of any messages, content, or materials. It doesn't just have to be me. It could be you on social media.

Do you want to leave your money with PayPal? Besides them being evil censors, tools of government censorship, global government censorship. Understand. So they said, if you promote misinformation, if you present a risk to user safety or well-being, you might be concerned about people who are dropping dead from heart attacks, especially young males, and you might post some articles about that,

in which case PayPal would rob you of $2,500 for each of these articles that you put out there. You like that? They put it in once, they can put it in again. So when word got out, those who were already concerned about the company's draconian censorship started shutting their accounts and urging others to do the same thing on social media. On Saturday evening, UK time, PayPal's former president, David Marcus, distanced himself clearly from the action. Elon Musk, whose pathway to billionairehood started in 2000 when his company X.com

was merged with Peter Thiel's Confinity to create PayPal of today. He later tweeted that he agreed. So here's what David Marcus, former president of PayPal, said. He said, it's hard for me to openly criticize a company I used to love and gave so much to, but PayPal's new AUP goes against everything that I believe in. A private company now gets to decide to take your money if you say something they disagree with. Insanity.

Elon Musk replied to it and said, agreed. Now I have for the longest time, when I talked about corporate censorship of your speech, again, corporations are not humans, in spite of what Mitt Romney says. They are creatures of government. Humans, on the other hand, are creatures of God. That means that we are endowed with inalienable rights, that among those are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, and part of that liberty is free speech.

We create governments in order to protect those liberties. And I've said for the longest time that these corporations have no more of a right to steal my God-given rights, such as free speech, than they do to pull up to my house and tow my car off when I don't owe them any money on the car or anything else. They just decide they'd like to have my car, so they come up and steal my car. Well, they would be car thieves, wouldn't they? And so these people are stealing something

that is far more valuable than your car. And I've used that analogy before. Now it has become literal. Now they not only steal your God-given rights, PayPal does, but they presume to steal your money as well. And there will be no end to it until we've had enough. And here's the good news about this. They got the message loud and clear.

Did they get the message from President Trump about censorship? No. Did they get the message from Joe Biden? No. The Republicans in the Senate and the House? No. Certainly not the Democrats. They've been sending a different message.

They've been sending the message to do more of it. As Marco Rubio said, you're going to censor who I tell you to censor, right? Not who China tells you to censor. They want to direct the censorship, and they are directing the censorship. They're the iron fist. These companies, whether it's PayPal or Spotify or Twitter, they're the velvet glove, the plausible deniability. And so who stopped this?

It wasn't Rand Paul. It wasn't Ted Cruz. It wasn't Donald Trump. It was the people. It was the people rising up in mass and saying, we refuse to comply with you. We refuse to do business with you. We refuse to be enslaved by you.

That's the good news in all this. The really good news is that we have the power if we understand what's going on and if we're willing to do something about it. And the key thing that keeps us from doing anything about it, two key things. Spanish Inquisition, we have three things. No, the two things that keep us from doing anything about it, number one, ignorance, and number two, fear of the financial consequences. That's why when this is about money, that goes away.

And when people know what's happening, that goes away. And that's what happened here. Both of those hurdles, ignorance and fear of the loss of money, were a part of the equation. And so they were not factors in this. And we can see that when you remove ignorance and financial fear, you're able to achieve your objective. Can we apply this to other things?

Only if we value our freedom more than we do our money. That is the only way that we're going to be able to do this. We have to know what's happening. We have to going to be able to do this. We have to know what's happening. We have to know where they're coming for us. We have to know what their plan is, but we have to overcome the fear that it's going to cost us money. We have to overcome the fear that they're going to withhold money from schools if we buck what they're trying to do to our children, that type of thing. It always has financial strings attached to it because our government has infinite amount of money.

It's just fiat. They just create it out of thin air. They create it out of thin air, and then they use it to shackle us, to make us afraid. And so I think that is the hopeful thing that has come out of this that we need to understand. So, again, they have been escalating. PayPal has been escalating their censorship in the same way that Spotify has. And Spotify is going to be weaponizing this.

Spotify is going to be paid to weaponize the censorship. This company, they bought Kinzen. But PayPal, as I point out here in Daily Skeptic, has been on a whirlwind tour of shutting down accounts of platforms and media sites that it's deemed guilty of spreading misinformation. But of course, it's not just over the past, well, it's escalated over the past few months they've noticed it. Again, they did it to me a year and a half ago. So why exactly would PayPal descend to this level of reputational self-harm? They ask, what is behind this?

What is their motivation? We certainly understand the motivation for Spotify. They're going to make more money doing it. He says, if I was to take an educated bet, it's the counterterrorism section of the rulebook that is most relevant. He said the scale of penalties directed at banks found in breach of this regulation, the fear of being slammed with fines, has made banks and payment providers like PayPal hugely risk-averse and inclined to err on the side of caution when facing any ambiguity. If something even whiffs of misinformation from their point of view,

it's better to shut it down than to risk getting a fine. And so this all goes back to the various terrorism strains, back to the Patriot Act and that type of thing. But you understand now where we are, right? 21 years after 9-11 and the Patriot Act, dissent is now terrorism. Dissent is now terrorism. If you dissent from the government's narrative,

if you dissent from their narrative about vaccines and healthcare and public health and what is in the public health interest, if you dissent from their new medical techniques of lockdowns and cloth masks, if you dissent from any of that stuff, you are now a terrorist. You're risking people's lives, you know.

You could kill people out there. I've been called a terrorist by people like Scott Adams, who, interestingly enough, was one of the people leading this boycott of PayPal. You know, about 10 days into what we're now, 940 days of this lockdown stuff. He said it's getting harder and harder to tell freedom lovers from. And I forget what the term was that he used, uh, you know, enemy of the state, essentially, uh, sociopaths.

It's harder and harder to tell freedom lovers from sociopaths. And, uh, that, that was Scott Adams 930 days ago. Now he's chafing under the slavery that they put out there. And so anyway, going back to Daily Skeptic, they said very similar to how they manage the enforcement of the lockdown policy to be more cost efficient, to outsource the policing of their own rules to banks and to payment companies directly. And that's what we saw in Canada. But we've seen this over and over again.

They use the companies to enforce their policy. We all know who's behind it. Even when you look at the lockdown in the early days, and I said it day one because already over you know he did it on a friday and um after my show saturday and sunday california and new york are shutting down trump says we're going to keep the big companies open but the little guys have got to shut down so i was talking about it on that mond, the 16th of March, 2020. And I said, yeah, he's going to partner with these people.

They're going to be the enforcers in all of this stuff. And then they will claim that, you know, hey, no matter how bad it gets, it's not coming from me. It's the same game that the Congress plays with the bureaucracy. You know, they came up with these rules and, you know, we passed it because we had to find out what was in it. We created the funding, we created the program, we might've even created a new agency. And then we leave the details up to them. And if they get it too draconian, then they come in and rescue us and present themselves as heroes. But they usurped their job to come up with the laws and were being governed by rules and regulations. Same thing happened with Trump.

Trump would have, if he had been reelected, you still would have been coerced into the jabs. A big part of Biden's jab mandates were coercion from corporations, remember? How did he do it? He also told hospitals, well, Medicare and Medicaid has been giving you all of this lavish funding if you just point the finger at somebody and say they got COVID, $13,000. You didn't even have to have a test. They didn't have the test. They didn't work. So the American hospital association. And in August, they said, you told us that we didn't

have to have records. We didn't have to have PCR tests. You told us at the beginning of this, you didn't have enough tests and the test didn't work. And now you're telling us that you got to have paperwork in order to give us our bonus, because it's not just the $13,000, but you got a 20% bonus on everything that you did to the people while they were there. That doesn't even count all the ventilator money. And then when they wanted to do the mandates, they said, well, you get everybody in the hospital, all your staff, all the nurses who've been working there for the last year and a

half under this horrific pandemic, the likes of which the world has never seen before. All these people who braved all that. Now you are going and did the TikTok videos at the same time. I mean, it's just amazing what they could do, right? The dancing TikTok nurses. Now you're going to tell them they got to get the jab. And if you don't get the jab, we're going to cut off your Medicare, Medicaid funding. So first they got them hooked, right?

Oh yeah. $13,000 here, $39,000 there, 20% on everything and so forth and so on. Then all of a sudden they, uh, you know, after, uh, many hospitals couldn't operate before without Medicare, Medicaid, but then they really pour on the cash and then jerk the chain back away from them. And that's exactly what Trump would have done. Exactly what he would have done. He would have done the coercion through the corporations. He would have offered it more as a carrot.

But again, it's using the corporations to get what they want. And we cannot give that a pass. We know exactly what's going on, and we have to come up with, people have to understand what is happening so that we don't erode the rights of individuals. But corporations do not have rights. They enjoy privileges as a condition of them doing business, of them being created by government. And we need to make them accountable for those privileges, accountable to uphold and respect our rights as human beings, because we are superior to these corporations. So PayPal, the pressure they're facing is very similar to the pressure that was faced by pubs, by restaurants, by supermarkets under COVID.

Again, it's all of this. Everybody understands what government wants. Sometimes the threat is implied. Sometimes it is overt. But they all know what they have to do. The way democratic governments have gone about enforcing these rules is not compatible with any human rights at all. Yeah, I wouldn't call them democratic governments. And we never really wanted a democracy anyway, right?

You wanted to have a republic that respected individual rights you know the whole thing about two wolves and a sheep holding a vote decide what's for dinner that type of thing no i'd say this is really more like a handful at live score bet we love cheltenham just as much as we love football the excitement the roar and the chance to reward you that's why every day of the festival we're giving new members money back as a free sports bet up to 10 euro if your horse loses on a selected race

that's how we celebrate the biggest week in racing Cheltenham with LiveScoreBet this is total betting sign up by 2pm 14th of March bet within 48 hours of race main market excluding specials and place bets terms apply

bet responsibly 18plusgamblingcare.ie of elected wolves who are deciding who they're going to eat. That is what we really have. Once we decide that we are going to, every four years, elect a dictator in the White House, and he's going to pretend that his hands are really kind of tied by all of the unelected bureaucrats in Washington and at the public health institutions throughout the country and all the rest of this. For PayPal to have triggered a run on itself

because it was merely following government orders is not just unfortunate, it is careless. PayPal has a business model that may be more vulnerable to this sort of fallout than most people appreciate. A large outflow of deposits could easily inhibit the company's ability to raise their income and harm its overall, because their income is generated from the money that is there on deposit. It's important to stress that the company still has recourse to liquidity from fully funded entities. But the solvency is unlikely to be an issue over the longer term.

The biggest problem facing users today will be an uncertainty over how quickly they can transfer funds out of the PayPal ecosystem. In the modern digital age, bank runs will be different. It will become even harder to differentiate a bank run from a maintenance issue on a website. Such matters should be shrouded, will be shrouded, in plausible deniability and uncertainty. And again, this reflects back to the CBDC stuff as well.

What happens if they want to shut everything down and play with us, right? You know, these terrorists who run the governments, the governments of every country. Well, they just say, sorry, something's gone wrong. It must be a cyber attack, but we can't get anything to you right now. And they can just shut down everything. The more and more dependent we become on the digital aspects of this, whether it's a supply chain or especially the financial system, the more power they have to create, well, how was it that

Fauci put it? They can do it from the inside. They can do it with disruption and then they can do it iteratively as well. This is one of the reasons why I keep saying, you know, uh, when you look at, um, uh, look at gold versus inflation and hyperinflation to me, it really is about CBDC. And I just put in a plug, uh, go to, you know, you want to have control of your own money, gold, and especially silver. I think because silver, we're talking about operating outside the financial system. You got to have something that is a little bit lower value that you can negotiate with people.

And gold has so much value in each of the coins. That makes it a little bit difficult for that. But again, Tony Arterman, who's going to be doing the show, starting Tony and Guard and all of Tony's co-hosts and friends that he has on a regular basis, will be doing the show for about a week beginning on Wednesday. We're going to Texas for Travis's formal wedding. And I want to thank all of you who prayed for him. He got through the treatment well. And now it is, we wait to see, we still ask for your prayers that God prayed for him. He got through the treatment well. And now it is, we wait to see,

we still ask for your prayers that God would heal him. We just treat. We do what we can to treat things, but it is God who heals. But we'll be going to Texas for a week beginning this Wednesday. But again, Tony Arterburn, Wise Wolf Gold. He's kindly set up DavidKnight.Gold. If you want to try to get some money that can't be withheld by PayPal or by the CBDC or by whatever the global central bank is, if they disagree with your politics. So that brings us then to Twitter as well. Look at it, PayPal, Spotify, Twitter, all these different ones. Twitter now has been on and off and on and off. Now,

um, after it looked like Elon Musk had a very, very poor case first to, you know, he was like, well, you know, the bots were hidden. Well, they found out from the text that they got from him that he knew that they had a bot issue and went ahead with it anyway. Uh, if he hadn't known that there was a bot issue and found out about it after he tendered the offer, that would have been really kind of on him. It's part of due diligence. But he did do his due diligence, and he did know that there were bots, and so he decided

to go ahead with it anyway. And once they got his texts and emails and things like that, it was talked about last week off of his phone. I guess he saw what happened to Alex. So he actually did turn the stuff over instead of lying about it and stonewalling and losing the lawsuit by default. Because if you don't comply with disclosure, you lose the lawsuit by default. Alex never did fight against any of that for free speech uh he wasn't singled out for anything he was singled out by multiple judges in multiple

states because he refused his game plan was to hide everything hide the information hide the money the rest of the stuff but elon musk gave them the texts and so he really didn't have a case and so um you know after a day or so of looking at that and everybody pointing that out he decided he would go ahead with a purchase uh and now twitter is uh continuing on with the lawsuit and so the headline here from Teslarati, this is a Tesla fan club, says Twitter refuses Elon Musk's renewed bid of $44 billion. Twitter is refusing to accept his bid for the social media company, according to a report from the Associated Press citing Musk's attorneys. AP noted that earlier this week, Twitter said it intended to close the deal

at the agreed upon price, but both sides were still booked for the October 17th trial in Delaware. Musk's attorneys said the trial should be adjourned to give the Tesla CEO more time to secure financing. This is what I said. Financing was not really secured yet. And the financial situation has changed a great deal for the banks that would be floating this stuff over the intervening months. He may have a problem putting that financing together. In a court filing, Musk's attorney said Twitter will not take yes for an answer. That's what they put in a court filing. Astonishingly, said Musk's attorneys, astonishingly, they have insisted on proceeding with this litigation,

recklessly putting the deal at risk and gambling with their stockholders' interests. The attorneys noted that Twitter is not setting aside its litigation, that the upcoming trial would, quote, impede the deal moving forward. Why would it impede the deal moving forward? Well, because they've got to secure financing. It's already difficult. And so financing is really the issue. Now the thing is, I think, that this may give Musk an out.

Well, look at how they behaved with this thing. They jeopardized the financing because they continued this. I mean, it's still going to be kind of iffy. But when I saw this, they talk about Elon Musk and Peter Thiel and many, many other people who became billionaires out of PayPal. And they call them the PayPal mafia. Peter Thiel is called the godfather of the PayPal mafia, not Elon Musk. Elon Musk made them an offer that they did refuse. They should have gotten Thiel to do it, but he did it himself

and they did refuse it. The Brownstone Institute has an article about how the EU is forcing Twitter to censor, and that even if Musk gets control of it, he can't stop it. Kind of an interesting take on this. I agree with a great deal of it. Some of it I disagree with. It said Twitter is obviously at the center of what is commonly known as big tech censorship. They have surreptitiously de-boosted, then shadow banned, and then outright suspended accounts. And there's been a sharp upturn in the censorship activities this summer.

A lot of it was supposedly for COVID disinformation. He said, yet by now, almost all of the influential advocates of early treatment or anybody who is a critic of the vaccines have had their accounts suspended on Twitter and have not come back. And so just this last weekend, he goes through a long list of people who have been taken off because they talked about, they said, you know, what about this and what about that? If you don't follow that very narrow single narrative from the government, then you get kicked off of Twitter. So we know where that is coming from, don't we?

And, of course, at the end of the week last week, Peter McCullough was the final one, and Steve Kirsch, who's already been suspended as well, said, welcome to Twitter heaven, Dr. McCullough. We've been expecting you. Here you have an unbelievably qualified doctor, and Twitter knows better. Twitter knows best, doesn't it?

Yeah, they're going to censor what this doctor has to say about all this stuff. Myriad smaller accounts have met the same fate for committing such thought crimes as suggesting that the myocarditis risk of both mRNA vaccines outstrips any benefit, of course. And this is, by the way, it's on Brownstone Institute, but it's Robert Kogan who wrote the article. And that's another censorship thing that happened.

We had the Surgeon General of the state of Florida, a good guy who told the truth about how heart issues and heart attacks had gone up by 84% in young males, 18 to 35. And when the Attorney General of the state of Florida put that information out, Twitter suspended him. Twitter suspended him. So they subsequently reversed that. But you understand what's going on here. So he says, why in the world would Twitter censor such content? He says, are they censoring of their own accord? Well, that would invariably elicit, well, their private company,

so they can do what they want. That's the thing that I've been talking about. No, they don't have superior rights to us, and if you go down that path, eventually what happens is they actually start stealing your money without any due process as well. We cannot give to private corporations the ability to take away our rights. Government shouldn't have that capability. As a matter of fact, government needs to proactively stop them from doing that,

the same way they'd stop any kind of theft. But he says, it begs the question, why would they want to do this? And so that's what this article is about. What is their motive? Yeah, they're doing it. Why? Why? He said, well, you could say that all these people in Silicon Valley

are just leftists and liberals. And he goes, in any case, the purpose of a private for-profit corporation is, needless to say, to make a profit. And this was something that people were struggling with four years ago when it happened. Why would they be deplatforming some of their biggest accounts? Because that's going to hurt them financially. And the more they purge people, the more they shadow ban people, the more it hurts their business model. Well, that was before it became openly known what was going on with ESG,

environmental societal governance. And these people are key to the governance part of it. The environmental and the social aspects of it are the goals and the purposes. The governance part of it is running through the corporations. Now, that's not the way that this author sees it, Robert Kogan. He doesn't see it that way. But that's the way that I see it. I believe that that is key. There is another factor, though, that he mentions here, and that is the involvement

of the European Union. And it's very real. You have to understand that I think all of these things are in play. It's not just one or the other. That's why it is moving so rapidly and so comprehensively because you have these kind of backroom deals that are being cut, being done overtly. Sometimes they will call

them in and they'll have hearings and the Democrats will say, I want you to shut down those people and Marco Rubio will say the same thing. Many times, though, this is stuff that is happening in the back room. And that is part of what ESG is about. You also have with ESG, you have BlackRock and these other companies that are financially blackmailing them.

And they are also working with all this. It's the whole difference between an economy that operates as we think in terms of trying to please shareholders. And they move from the shareholder model to the stakeholder model. How are you going to have a stake in the new world that they're creating? Well, you do what they tell you to do. And then they'll give you a stake in the new world. Other than that, you're going to be on the outside like everybody else. And it's that kind of implied threat, that kind of covert threat, covert from the standpoint that the public doesn't see it, the backroom threats. You will take the stakeholder model and do what we say. It's essentially, this has all

been done in China, where the government has a stake in every particular, every company. And you got to pay these guys off. It's just corruption. It's crony capitalism. It's corruption. Call it whatever you want. But all those things are the same thing. Crony capitalism, just outright political corruption. Stakeholder capitalism, ESG, those are just new prevarications of a very old process. You pay, you do what the politicians say, and you get rewarded. Otherwise, they shut you down.

It's just a protection racket. They'll protect you, they'll put you in the club, or otherwise you're going to be outside the club. At LiveScoreBet, we love Cheltenham just as much as we love football. The excitement, the roar, and the chance to reward you. That's why every day of the festival we're giving new members money back as a free sports bet up to 10 euro if your horse loses on a selected race that's how we celebrate the biggest week in racing cheltenham with live score bet this is total betting sign up by 2 p.m 14th of march bet within 48 hours of race main market excluding specials and place

bets terms apply bet responsibly 18 plus gambling care.ee and so it is that corruption aspect of it sometimes it is direct and above board sometimes it is implied sometimes it is being it is financial pressure that's being put on by the government or even by the big stakeholders like blackrock or shareholders i should say uh you know buying up their stock and then putting this kind of pressure on them. But then there's another aspect, which is what this Brownstone article is about. I don't think it's the only thing involved, but it's another aspect of this. And it's why this is all moving so quickly, because there's so many tentacles coming from

Hydra to make this happen. What Twitter is doing by censoring is precisely subverting its own business model, he says. It doesn't make any sense from a business standpoint, if you don't understand ESG and stakeholder things. They're undermining profitability. They're putting downward pressure on their share price. There's no way that Twitter could possibly want to censor COVID dissident voices. Except the problem that he doesn't see here is that ESG, environmental societal governance,

and the stakeholder thing, that really does offer a much bigger reward than anything they can get in a competitive free market because we're moving into a Marxist-fascist state. And in that kind of Marxist-fascist economy, as we've seen in China, doing what the government wants is the path to profit. It's not about finding out what people want and providing them the best quality products and services at the lowest possible price. That model doesn't work anymore when you have a Marxist, fascist, corrupt government.

Anyway, so he says there's been a lot of talk recently about Biden and what he's doing. He says, but it's not Biden, it's the EU. Well, it is Biden, but it is also the EU. What is going on with the EU? The EU's Digital Services Act, the DSA, just passed by the European Parliament in July. He said the DSA gives the European Commission the power to impose fines of up to six percent of global turnover on, quote, very large online platforms or very large online search engines. It's massive in terms of what it can impose on them in terms of a fine.

If they find that you are non-compliant with their censorship requirements. So it's the European Union that is pushing the censorship with a threat of massive fines as well now. So the DSA has been designed to function in combination with the EU's so-called Code of Practice on Disinformation. That's a thing. Code of Practice on Disinformation. An ostensibly voluntary code for, quote,

combating disinformation, also known as censoring, that was originally launched in 2018, and of which Twitter, Facebook, Meta, and Google, YouTube, all of them are part of that. So he says, make no mistake about it, Twitter censorship is government censorship, but the government in question is not so much the U.S. government, but rather the European Union. And the EU is, in effect, imposing its censorship on the entire world. And, yeah, it is coming from, it is overtly done by the EU. And, of course, there's backroom pressure from the US as well.

And that's the problem. For the most part, they are in lockstep because it is a global agenda in terms of what they want to censor. They don't want to censor anything about COVID. They want to censor any disagreement about climate and so forth. So they're in unison on that. They're even in unison on the war in Ukraine. But if they disagree, you'll wind up getting both of them and they're not going to, you know, it's not that one of them is going to want to have some free information somewhere.

They just might have something that they want censored in the EU that the U.S. doesn't care about or vice versa, but you'll get both. Those hoping that Musk's buying Twitter, if it does indeed come to pass, will put an end to Twitter censorship, are going to be in for a rude awakening. He says, if there's any doubt about it, he says, watch this video that, despite the forced smiles, has indeed something of the feel of a hostage video. In early May, just a couple of weeks after Twitter accepted Musk's original purchase

before, before, remember they passed this DSA in July. So in May, a few weeks after, you know, they accepted the fact that he was going to buy Twitter, the European body language is horrific enough, but you can even hear it if you don't see the video, if you're just listening to this. How he kowtowed to the intimidation from this EU bureaucrat. So we are in Austin together with Elon Musk. Thank you very much, Elon, for welcoming me. Thank you. You're most welcome. And of course, we discussed many issues and I was happy to be able to explain to you, most welcome. And of course we discussed many issues and I was happy to be able to explain to you the DSA, a new regulation in Europe and I think that now you understand very well. It fits pretty well

with what you think we should do in a platform. No, I think it's exactly aligned with my thinking. I very much agree with, it's been a great discussion and I really think I agree with everything you said, really. I think we're very much of the same mind. And whatever you say, I'll do whatever you say. Just anything that my companies can do that would be beneficial to Europe, we want to do that. I just want to say. No, thank you very much. That's again a good example. And when we see that there could be some differences, especially when... ...from the digital space, the best is to come and discuss what we did.

And I'm happy to see that for your life. Sounds good. Thank you very much. Thank you very much. Thank you. It's so important for our citizens to protect them digitally, to protect them from seeing anything that, you know, just as we saw in Fahrenheit 451, anything that might get them upset.

You know, they can't have a life with these types of things. They're not going to have any freedom. So why get them upset about that? They're not going to have any choices. So why trouble them with the idea that there could be some different alternative path to their health or to anything else in their life than what we have decided that they're going to do? Let's not trouble them with those options. Let's just censor all that information. And Elon Musk is like, yes, uh, surgeon general, uh, tweeted his recommendation against MRNA vaccination due to heart death risk. And he got censored by Twitter.

And, um, if you went to that site for about, uh, 24, 48 hours, you would say, uh, this tweet violated, uh violated Twitter rules. And they have now relented on that and put that back. But you understand where this is going to go. And if it gets to the point where there's a conflict between the Florida Surgeon General and the EU's DSA that comes with a 6% fine of their global revenues, you know which way they're going to go, don't you? So the interesting thing is, is that they pulled back. But I think the most important thing about this is that PayPal pulled back.

And we need to know that we do not have to go along quietly with this. We don't have to go along quietly with their robbery. We don't have to go along quietly with their depopulation, their mass murder program. As a matter of fact, he put out, as I said before, an 84% increase in cardiac-related deaths with males aged 18 to 39 within 28 days of the mRNA injection. Twitter doesn't want you to know that. I do. I do. Thank you for the tips, Andromeda.

Thank you very much for that. Richard Williams, thank you. He says, I purposely ordered a one-size-larger-than-normal David Night Show t-shirt so I could shrink it and dry it with max hot water and max hot dryer air fits perfectly. Good. Uh, yeah, we wanted to let you know that,

you know, that being cotton, cause we went for what had a good feel, you know, if you get with, um, we go with something that's got a lot of polyester in it, then,

uh, you're not going to have that kind of shrinkage, but it's not going to feel as good as a cotton shirt. So, um, again, we have these up at the website. Just want to let you know, though, that we have not, we, uh, for this last week, we haven't been able to get any orders out. And so that's going to resume once we get back, uh, from, uh, Texas, uh, we're a small thing, small operation here. And, uh, so that's, uh, like the show, the order fulfillment is going to be on a hiatus. And so I appreciate your understanding that, uh, here on the desk, we've got some of the other things that are at the website. Uh, this is, uh, by Koozie and this is a

great thermal mug. And then we have an open mug. That's got a nice metallic silver handle to it and rim on it. And we have something else that we're going to be putting up as soon as we come back. I want to give a shout out to Jason Barker. He really kind of spearheaded this. He designed a coin. And then he found and got everything to these people, got this thing through, because we probably would have never been able to do it. But this is what it looks like.

He designed a David Knight show coin. And this picture just doesn't do it justice. I mean, it really is nice. I really like the starburst pattern there. It's very deep. And again, it's hard to do it justice with that. That's the front of it. And this is the back.

Put a microphone on there and using free speech to free minds. So I really do appreciate Jason with that. That's the front of it. And this is the back, put a microphone on there and using free speech to free minds. So I really do appreciate Jason doing that. And we will have that up and available once we get back. But it's not there yet. Geese busters, geese busters. Thank you very much. That's very generous.

I appreciate that. And so let's take a live. At LiveScoreBet, we love Cheltenham just as much as we love football. The excitement, the roar, and the chance to reward you. That's why every day of the festival,

we're giving new members money back as a free sports bet up to 10 euro if your horse loses on a selected race. That's how we celebrate the biggest week in racing. Cheltenham with LiveScoreBet. This is total betting. Sign up by 2pm 14th of March.

The Common man. They created common core to dumb down our children. They created common past to track and control us. Their commons project to make sure the commoners own nothing. And the communist future. They see the common man as simple, unsophisticated, ordinary. But each of us has worth and dignity created in the image of God. That is what we have in common. That is what they want to take away.

Their most powerful weapons are isolation, deception, intimidation. They desire to know everything about us while they hide everything from us. It's time to turn that around and expose what they want to hide. Please share the information and links you'll find at thedavidknightshow.com. Thank you for listening. Thank you for sharing. If you can't support us financially, please keep us in your prayers. thedavid the very beginning. Harvey at Vaccine Impact, having the same take on this as I did. We've pretty much seen this the same way from the very beginning.

He said the new China, he said the world's first example of a medical, tyrannical, totalitarian state in 2022. I said from the very beginning, I said, if you're going to seal people up in their rooms as we saw happening before trump locked everything down and then the chinese we subsequently learned where uh italy followed their example what in the world are they doing we subsequently learned that china had a massive army of over a hundred thousand bots that were pressuring Italian public, as well as Italian politicians, especially the politicians to do the lockdown. And then after that,

it kind of steamrolled. And, um, so it was all coming out of China, but I knew even before I knew it was a bot campaign. I saw everybody following this, like China. It was,

we watched as they were sealing people in their homes and things like that. This is insane. Look at how crazy China is. And it was amazing to me that everybody just followed it. Well, what is China doing now? And is everybody going to follow it? Well, yes, they will. If we don't stop them, they will follow it. And so I said from the very beginning, I said, you better worry more about their social engineering of this than of their bioengineering of a virus. I said, even if they bioengineered this and deliberately released it as a bioweapon, what they're doing now with the social engineering, with the lockdown, with all the rest of this stuff, I knew from the very beginning. Because they had rehearsed it for 20 years that they were going to rush out a vaccine that was going to be not tested.

They were going to lock down everybody with as draconian a measures as they possibly could. This was practiced for 20 years by our government before they did the beta test in China a couple of months before Trump rolled it out. Again, you can't distinguish China from the U.S. government, from the deep state like Fauci and from DARPA and the rest of these people any more than you can distinguish them on Wuhan. But it is the social engineering that is even more dangerous, even more dangerous if it were a real pandemic. So it is medical martial law is what I've been calling it from day one.

It's now day 940. And Brian, health impact news, vaccine impact news says, if the globalists, such as those who participate in the World Economic Forum, get their way and are actually able to implement the new one world government that they've been talking about for decades and bragging about for decades. It is a conspiracy, but it's not a theory. It's their conspiracy, their agenda.

He says they've now accelerated it with the success of COVID where they effectively shut down almost the entire world through lockdowns. What would the world look like? Well, we don't need to wait. We know what the world will look like. It will look like what is happening in China right now, not to speculate about it. He says in 2022, China has shown the world what medical, tyrannical, totalitarian government looks like in most of their major cities. And this has really been the next step. This is not a continuation of this. And people will say,

well, they're doing zero COVID and we're not going to do zero covid you're hearing that from the western public health officials who are putting this on pause they have not ended it they've put it on pause they've left their usurped authority in but they understand that people aren't going to put up with it so they pause however in china even if the people don't like it they can lock lock down Shanghai. We can play you the clips of the people howling at night, locked in the city, unable to even buy food. And this is the plan that is coming everywhere. What is happening with China's zero COVID policy in many of their major cities, which includes long lines of thousands of people lining up each day to be

tested for COVID. And if they find a handful of people who get positive results, they don't even talk anymore about what the cycle threshold is. How much are they magnifying this for? Remember, Cary Mullis, who invented the PCR, who got the Nobel Prize for inventing the PCR, says if you magnify it enough, you can find anything in any body. He says it's not to be used for diagnosis. And especially if you're going to magnify it, as they do, 1.1 trillion times the cycle threshold of 40. And so it was David Smith, the rabbi that I've talked to a couple of times because they were fighting this vaccine thing in New York. The mandates going back to May of 2019.

Well, Trump said, oh, they got to get the MMR shots. It's really going around. They just got to take the shots. Well, they were fighting that. And he said it's going to be about the testing. He said they'll do testing everywhere. And they may lock you up even if you're not sick. Even if you didn't fail the test, they may lock you up if they don't like your politics

and they'll just use that as a pretense. And so people are lining up by the thousands every day to be tested on a regular basis. And they're locking down and imprisoning people. Just unbelievable draconian measures. But again, going back to dark winter in 2001, every time they'd play these germ games, they'd tell the participants everybody died because your lockdown wasn't draconian enough. They've been rehearsing zero tolerance of whatever the MacGuffin is for a long time.

And so, uh, you have to get tested before you can go to work before you can shop before you can do anything. You get a QR code and your phone must be carried at all times. Had somebody, uh, send me a comment, uh, it was either comment on rock fin somewhere, or they sent directly to me and they said, um, well, what happens? I don't have a phone. What happens? Well, if you don't have a phone, you're not going to go anywhere either, right? You've got to show that you're approved.

And so just as the NSA was laughing about us, we saw in some of those leaks from Snowden, they said, who would have thought, in 1984, and they show the Apple, uh, uh, you know, 1984 commercial for the Macintosh that ran on the Superbowl.

Once I said, who would have thought in 1984 that this, and they show Steve jobs holding up the iPhone, that this would become big brother. Then they show everybody queued up to buy it at the store. And they said that everybody would line up to buy it. Well, they got people to do it voluntarily here in the U.S. for the most part.

However, in China, you will buy your big brother device. And if you don't have your big brother device, it'll be assumed that you don't have approval and you will not go anywhere. So you're going to buy it. You're going to subject yourself to these constant tests. And you're going to hope that you get a QR code. You hope that you get a green on your phone. And they've got the traffic light system, red, yellow, green. So this is, he points out, not happening everywhere in China.

It's going into the biggest cities, right? Why? Is there some kind of a disease special thing there? Well, you know, big cities are a threat, as Jefferson said, to the health, the wealth, and the liberty of mankind. But he didn't mean it this way. No, it's going into the big cities because they're smart cities already. They have the technology to do this. They have the bandwidth to do this. They have the surveillance capability to do this. And I just want to say, 5G is an essential part of this technology for the police state. And I had a big problem with Trump being such a cheerleader of 5G.

And I spoke out about that when I was at Infowars, which did not interior me any more to Alex than the other things about Trump that I opposed. But the problem with 5G, it has obvious, uh, obvious problems in terms of civil liberties, the police state surveillance state. Those are undeniable. There are very, very very very strong indications that it also has health issues as well at live score bet we love cheltenham just as much as we love football the excitement the roar and the chance to reward you that's why every day of the festival we're giving new members money back as a free sports bet up to 10 euro if your horse loses on a selected race that's how we celebrate

the biggest week in racing cheltenham with live score bet this is total betting sign up by 2 p.m 14th of march bet within 48 hours of race main market excluding specials and place bets terms apply bet responsibly 18 plus gambling care.ee those are denied and ignored in the same way that we see any concerns about trump's shots and operation warp speed are denied and ignored in the same way that we see any concerns about Trump's shots and Operation Warp Speed are denied and ignored. And that is not reassuring. And we saw that happening before Operation Warp Speed. We knew that the vaccines were going to be a placeholder and training for people to have a digital ID and government permission to do everything. The next step of this big step is going to be CBDC.

And that's going to be mandated with an engineered fiscal collapse that they're going to do. And so all of this stuff has a police state component as well as a surveillance component to it. But both the 5G and the vaccine, which had both of those components in it, also had severe health concerns as well. And they simply shoved that aside. Now, I was just talking about ESG, and you had the article from the Brownstone Institute. They said, yeah, they kind of dismissed the carrot and stick of ESG.

They kind of dismissed the idea. They're still thinking that, well, we're operating under shareholder capitalism. No, we're operating under stakeholder fascism. And ESG is the way to do that. This is an interesting article about ESG from a person, Stuart Loren, who makes sure that, you know, kind of apologizes for pointing this out to people. But it is pretty apparent to him how ESG is the road to serfdom. Yeah. And he mentions that, consciously uses that title, because he talks about Hayek and his road to serfdom.

And he said, this is really the tactic of government control that is going to put us there. That's what Hayek was talking about. If ESG factors matter to you, he said, by all means, invest according to your ESG ratings. It's even replacing profitability as a metric for investment. He says, I also care about environmental, social, and governance issues. Over the last six years, I have invested in companies benefiting from cost declines and renewable power and advise clients to do so and so forth. And he says, I'm neither uninformed nor an anti-environmentalist. And

he goes through and, you know, virtue signals about all the things that he does to protect the environment. Like he, when he takes vacations, he goes hiking, you know, that type of thing. But, uh, he, uh, you know, I'm not an anti-environmentalist either. You know, I care about pollution. Uh, what I understand, however, is that all this stuff is not about pollution. It's about control. It's about population control. It's about depopulation. It's about surveillance. It's not about emissions. It's about omissions. It's about omitting things from your life. It's about enslavement. It's about the road to serfdom. He said, my concerns aren't so much with specific ESG priorities, but rather the top down and opaque imposition of these factors into the broader investing process. And then he

references Hayek and his road to serfdom. He says, as the Mises Institute summarizes Hayek's book, they said, what F.A. Hayek saw, and what most of his contemporaries missed, was that every step away from the free market and toward government planning represented a compromise of human freedom generally, and a step toward a form of dictatorship. And this is true in all times and all places. It's true for all politicians and all parties, even Trump as well. Imagine that.

Even Trump. Even Trump can move us as he did away from a market economy, away from Main Street, and into a centrally planned lockdown or price controls or whatever central emergency is going to be put in, as well as regulations. Hayek wrote, capitalism is the only system of economics compatible with human dignity, prosperity, and liberty. Now, see, I like to talk about free markets and not capitalism anymore. Because capitalism has become so corrupt. When you look at capitalism, people think of the big companies that were given special benefits, like Trump. You can stay open. You're important.. You know, you can stay open. You're important.

The small guys, you're not essential. You close down. At LiveScoreBet, we love Cheltenham just as much as we love football. The excitement, the roar, and the chance to reward you.

And, you know, the big companies, we got to keep them good because I'm using their stock prices as a metric for how well I'm doing as president.

But, of course, there's a lot of backroom deals that are going on with it as well. But it's kind of, as I point out, corruption. It's crony capitalism that everybody thinks of when they think about capitalism. Think about the big companies. Think about Wall Street. All of that is corruption. It's not a competitive free market. And people who supported President Trump don't want a competitive free market. The big dollars. Peter Thiel has said that competition is for losers. We don't want to be losers. We want to be winners. That's what Trump is all about. Winning, winning, winning. So that means he's about no competition because that's how he went.

That's how his big financial backers define winning. And, uh, so yeah, everything that happened on that lockdown 940 days ago, the executive order, uh, that was, um, you know, one small order. And that was one giant leap into slavery. So I like to talk about free markets and, uh, because that, that kind of implies more of a competition thing, which is necessary, necessary in it. Uh, so to the extent that we move away from this system, we empower the worst people in society to manage what they do not understand. That's right. They're very bad managers.

You know, even in socialism, you know, both Stalin and Hitler called themselves socialists, right? Uh, they were the national socialists versus the international socialists but the difference between hitler's socialism and stalin's socialism besides the national aspect of it uh hitler from an economic standpoint said we are not going to nationalize the companies we want the people who know how to run them to run them up until the very end. And then we'll slit their throats and take what they've got. Right. And he criticized Stalin for doing that at the very beginning.

So they're taking over these companies. They don't know how to run them. They're going to fail. And they did fail. But they don't know what they're doing. I mean, just look at what is happening in terms of them designing our transportation. They're designing the cars and the cars are failing. But it doesn't matter.

They just keep throwing this fiat money at it because they have an endless supply of it. We'll incentivize this. We will put out more of that. We'll put out more charging stations. And we will, meanwhile, we're going to shut down the grid. So they don't know what they're doing or they have criminal intentions, but even if they didn't have criminal intentions, even if they were good managers, here's the key. They would have insufficient information. You can't run an efficient market without information.

And these people don't have sufficient information, even with all their snooping and spying and all the rest of this stuff. Because consumers can, you know, every time that you are making a purchasing decision, you go down to the grocery store and you're going to buy a can of baked beans and there's seven or eight different brands

to choose from. And, you know, the free market and people making these choices freely, you're able to fine tune what is going on. And it's like all these different decisions that are being made all the time. It's kind of like a neural network. These people are like a CPU. They may be a very powerful CPU.

They could even be a very good CPU. But a CPU, a central processing unit, isn't going to be able to compete with a neural network. It's just the architecture there. But he points to three different things. He says there's market-based economies excel for many reasons, but here's three of the most important ones. Profit, decentralization, and the market signal. The market signal. And I guess you could put under the market signal, I guess you

could say competition. Because that is a central part of it, and that is what is being shut down. He says, my fear is that we are now in the early stages of a detrimental shift from a dynamic free market economy to an inefficient centrally planned one.

He thinks we're in the early stages of this. We're 940 days into it. Yes, it's going to get much worse. That's what he's saying. Now, it isn't that it just recently started. I think, I don't know when he thinks it started. It started 940 days ago, but it's getting worse all the time. He says, unlike gap accounting, that's the generally accepted

accounting principles or practices, ESG reporting is not standardized. He said, my belief is that in finance, once you move outside the realm of numbers, you quickly move into the realm of qualitative and subjective judgments. And see, this is true. This guy's in finance, but this is true in science as well. You know, we see all kinds of qualitative stuff when it comes to the climate, McGuffin. And of course, it's there with the vaccine,Guffin as well. It's just, and you know that whenever they hide the numbers. Whenever they refuse to show you the numbers,

you know that there is corruption and that they are just doing whatever they wish. But we've seen this in this back and forth with climate. We've seen the same type of tactic for the longest time. It's something that is relatively new in medicine and so-called health care. I'm not the only one to come to this conclusion. He said, this is what BlackRock's former chief investment officer for sustainable investing, Tariq Fancy, had to say recently in a scathing essay on ESG.

So this is a guy who used to work for BlackRock. BlackRock and Larry Fink have become the chief advocates and poster children for ESG. And so this guy who used to be with them for investing strategy says, unfortunately, there's no clear definition of what ESG means. And much of it is believed to be surface-level box-ticking compliancy activity. That's what it is. You check the boxes that the government wants because you're currying favor with them.

And so he said, second and far more concerning is the implementation of ESG principles and non-ESG products. Investors who are managing over $80 trillion in assets have signed up to the Principles for Responsible Investment Initiative. This includes BlackRock, Vanguard, State Street, as well as many endowments and pensions. But I want to just pull back and just take a look. He's concerned about the fact that you've got, with all these big investment firms and Wall Street firms signing up and the assets they manage or control, $80 trillion in these assets, and they're all signing on to these new principles about what they call responsible investing.

But I want to focus on the $80 trillion number here. I mean, we look at, there's so much money that is out there. You got tens of trillions of dollars from governments, tens of trillions of dollars from central banks, tens of trillions of dollars from governments, tens of trillions of dollars from central banks, tens of trillions of dollars from banks, tens of trillions of dollars from these investment pension funds and stuff like that. Where's this money coming from? What is the value of this? You understand that that is many, many, many, many, many, many, many times all of the real value that is out there. I mean, this is all derived.

This is all phony. It's all fiat. We're talking about fiat financialism. This is one of the reasons why, you know, hanging on to something that is real and tangible, like gold or silver, because it's all just fiat stuff. You can't have this much money out there.

The tens of trillions that each of these entities have, the governments, the central banks, the private banks, the Wall Street financiers, all of them have run up these phony balance sheets. It's nothing but fiat financing. We've gone way beyond the fiat currency. It's a whole fiat system here. And so this whole thing is going to come crashing down.

And it has to come crashing down just to cover up what they have done. And so he goes on to say, remember the three main tenets that he was talking about, profit motivation, decentralized decision-making, and the market signal. He said the ESG movement threatens all three of these. So ESG goals supplant profit. So you got profit motivation? Not anymore. You do what the government wants you to do.

Forget about whether you're going to make money or not, because you won't have anything in the new Marxist-Fascist economy unless you do what the government says. So just forget about profitability. The second one, decentralized decision-making. Well, no, under ESG, decision-making is becoming ever more centralized across large asset managers who apply the same ESG motivated pressures to the boards and management as the governments do. And then the third one, market signals.

Well, the market signal is getting muddied by considerations that are outside of business fundamentals. So this is all about the fact that it's competitive to some degree, but the only people who are allowed to compete are the ones who do what the government wants, just like the companies that were...

Given the venture capital funding by the CIA through In-Q-Tel, who had on their board of directors and venture capital companies that had on their borders of directors, the leaders of the NSA, leaders of the CIA, and the rest of these things. They were picking the contestants and then let the contestants compete. May the strongest ones win because then we'll have even a better grip as to what is going to happen. Meanwhile, the Gates Foundation has given $200 million

to establish a global digital ID. This has always been his goal. ID 2020, he'd had for the longest time, and he's well on his way to having established that through the lockdown. His other part of his goal was IA 2030. That's the immunization agenda, 2030. Everyone, everywhere, every age, vaccinated. That's their motto, and I would add with every conceivable vaccine. The Gates Foundation recently pledged $1.25 billion toward the UN's pro-abortion

2030 agenda goals, with $200 million going directly to creating a digital ID system. The 2030 agenda is about global governance, and in order to have global governance, you have to have a global digital ID. The $200 million package will be used to create an infrastructure that encompasses tools such as, quote, interoperable payment systems,

digital ID, data sharing systems, a civil registry database. He said it'll make countries, quote, more resilient to crises such as food shortages. So you see where they're focusing here? Payments. It's the very first thing he's talking about. That's where we began today.

PayPal. Take your speech, control your money, and then food. Food. Money, food. And you got to have your ID in order to get all of that. The 2030 agenda, adopted in 2015 as LifeSite News, establishes a set of 17 goals that are rooted in Marxist theory. Well, yes, that's very true. And if you go back and look at that, as I've pointed out many times, that was the point that always talked about the UN Agenda 21. Sometime in the 21st century, we're going to pack everybody into the cities

so they can get the treatment that you're now seeing in the smart cities in China. Zero COVID is really zero freedom. The government that controls everything. But in 2015, they made an announcement in 2019 how the UN and the World Economic Forum, Davos, had merged. They had an agreement of understanding, a memo of understanding, and that type of thing. They just recently, this year, they talked about it again. But even though they're talking about that like every three years or so, the real merger came in 2015. That was when they started putting out the videos about the Great Reset and you owning nothing from Davos. And it's

when the UN came up with their UN 2030 agenda. They went from a vague idea of when this is going to happen to a specific date, 2030, and at that point, the UN and the World Economic Forum Davos were on the same page. So COVID-19 played a key role in establishing the global identity system. And in this article from LifeSite News, they quote Corey Lynn, investigative journalist, who says, simply put, the pandemic is to mandate an experimental gene therapy, the vaccine that they call it. I called it the GCI for that reason. She says that quote-unquote vaccine is for the purposes of getting everyone into a vaccine ID passport.

And the passport is to force everybody into the new global social credit system. That's what I've been saying from day one. Actually, I said it before day one, uh, get your GCI. Oh,

you're going to have to have that. And that's what I've said. That is the reason that they singularly focused on the vaccine, because they had to have one thing that they made sure that everybody got, and you had to have the passport system, the ID system to ensure that, because that was really the goal. And that's the same thing they're doing with the battery-operated electric cars. You can only have one type of car, and it has to be that type.

It can't be even a fuel cell EV, non zero emission. It's not about the emissions. It's about the tracking and controlling and the limitation that they can impose on people through the grid. So, um, yeah.

Uh, and is it any surprise to see the global ID system united to the vaccine? It was Gates who did that. Gates who had his ID agenda and he had his immunization agenda. And of course, they're all about the same thing. With the instigation and the normalization of vaccine passports, people adapted to the new normal that included showing their ID even for minor things in their daily life, the right to travel, the right to sit at a restaurant, the right to go to a theater, and all the other things that are even more important than that.

But everything has to be at their permission. So finally, before we take a break here, there's actually a woman in Las Vegas who has 3 million followers on social media. If you don't think this thing is catching on, it's just like universal basic income. Look at how quickly they were able to get people to the position where they don't even want to bother to work. They gave them bigger unemployment benefits. They extended the unemployment benefits. They gave them bigger unemployment benefits. They extended the unemployment benefits. They gave out stimulus checks.

Now people are like, all right, where's the next one? I don't, you know, that's what I want to do. And the same thing is happening with the vaccine passports and all this identification thing. Now you've got 3 million people following this woman who calls herself the chip girl. She has, her name is Burgundy Waller. She calls her husband a tech genius.

She had a chip implanted into her hand a little more than two years ago. And, um, her husband has, uh, worked, uh, installed things that she can now unlock with the RFID that is in her hand. And she's got a TikTok account, social media account with 3 million followers. And they just watch her doing things like unlocking doors with her hand. Oh, well, you know, I can do that with my hand as well. And I don't even have a chip in it. I just use a key.

It's nothing other than a key. But now she says that, you know that she's got to go further. She has to have her financial information on there so she can buy stuff. How pathetic this consumer society is. I just need to be able to unlock things. I need to be able to buy things, and I will chip myself. That kind of reminds me, in the Old Testament, you had slavery was not a mult-generational thing, right? An Israeli theocracy that's defined in Mosaic law. You know,

every seven years you would reset the contracts and everything. Every 49 years would be a big jubilee. But if you wanted to remain as kind of an indent, we would call them indentured servants as opposed to slaves. They call them slaves. But if you wanted to remain as a slave, you had the option of doing that. And there was a procedure, you know, getting nailed in your ear, that type of thing or something. You know, you and your family, you could do that.

You could voluntarily remain a slave to that master. This is what we're looking at here. But then, of course, we're also looking at moving the Overton window to the mark of the beast that was explained 2,000 years ago. People willingly going into slavery. People, millions of people, fascinated with this and wanting to make themselves, voluntarily make themselves a slave. And just as rapidly as we saw people getting used to becoming impoverished and living on a handout with universal basic income, we now see them wanting to do the same thing in terms of a mark of the beast type of thing where you

will not buy sell trade do any activity have anything whatsoever in your life unless you take at live score bet we love cheltenham just as much as we love football the excitement the roar and the chance to reward you that's why every day of the festival, we're giving new members money back as a free sports bet up to €10 if your horse loses on a selected race.

So let me get this in here.

You know, we had the Federal Appeals Court last week declare that DACA was illegal, essentially. Something I've said from the very beginning, it was absolutely amazing to me, and I was complaining about executive orders and how they've been abused. Long before Trump did this abuse of executive order 940 days ago to lock us down, to kick off the Great Reset. And I talked about it in terms of DACA. I said, how in the world can Trump be bound by an executive order from the previous president? He doesn't have to be bound by that.

But he bound himself by that because he didn't want to have the headwinds of the implications if he were to remove DACA. And so what he did was he kicked it over to the Supreme Court. Perfect example of why these people have established judicial supremacy. It gets them off the hook. It's not my decision, it's the court. You know, I would do this. I would honor my campaign promises, but I can't. My hands are tied because of the Supreme Court.

I can't stop abortion because the Supreme Court made it the law of the land. Right? We heard that for the longest time. No, they were using that as a beard. They were using that as cover. The Supreme Court didn't have the authority to do that. But they had an issue that they could kick around just like they did immigration. They could kick around abortion.

They could say, well, you know, I would do this in an ideal world, you know, like me and I'll fix this. And then when they get elected, they go, well, I can't do anything. My hands are tied because the court, no, you tied your hands and you pretended that, uh, you had no power in this, even though you do, it's just an excuse. And so now that excuse has been ended yet again, you know, abortion, the Roe v. Wade thing, that was the 10th Amendment, made it clear they didn't have that kind of power. And with DACA, what was DACA? Deferred Action was what the DA was about.

Deferred Action on Childhood Arrivals. Now, what was the Deferred Action? Well, that was Biden's Homeland Security. Janet Napolitano was saying, well, I'm not going to take action. I'm not going to enforce the law. How does that become a precedent? How can you do an executive order after you have, especially as Attorney General,

you or Homeland Security or whatever, you come in and you say, you take an oath to the Constitution and you swear to uphold the laws. And then one of the things that you do is say, well, I'm not going to uphold this law. So they violated their oath. They ignored their duty and their responsibility.

And then Trump pretended that he was bound by that. So the question is, you know, why didn't he enforce it? Well, he didn't want that hot potato. He pretended for four years that the Obama Homeland Security, DHS, had put something in that he couldn't undo. And it was for his phony being able to avoid responsibility for anything. Now, the Fifth Circuit Court has determined that DACA was unlawful. The three-judge panel remanded the case back to U.S. District Judge in light of a recently enacted Biden administration regulation.

They said a district court is in the best position to review the administrative record and the rulemaking procedure, they said, and kicked it back to them. Biden's DACA regulation is largely similar to Obama's memo that created it, except that Biden's regulation was subject to public comments as part of the rulemaking process. So again, what you're going to do is you're going to these are about rules instead of laws. Congress abdicated its position and let the bureaucracy under the executive branch

come up with a rule. And their rule was, we're not going to enforce the law. And then they said, now it's an executive order. And Trump says, my hands are tied. Just infuriating. Again, regardless of what you think about the immigration issue, these types of precedents are what got us into this situation of lockdown. Republican challengers say that DACA is illegal, even with notice and comment,

because it rewrites immigration law without Congress. That's exactly the point. It's not a law. You know, they're rewriting. We have now taxation without representation and regulation without representation because we now have government by the bureaucracy and the bureaucracy is under the president. And so why wouldn't we expect that the president is going to act like a dictator? We got to stop calling these mandates mandates. We need to start calling the mandates dictates.

That's very important because we don't have an English word that says mandator. We do have an English word that says dictator, and we need to understand what the president has become. We don't want a form of government where every four years we presume to have a dishonest election about electing a new dictator. We don't want that. So stop calling it mandates.

Call it dictates. The new Biden version of DACA will also be invalidated as illegal, they believe, because, again, it rewrites immigration law without Congress. And that's what that truly is about. But let's take a look at what is really the consequences of this. You have in New York City, Eric Adams is now being overwhelmed. The New York City mayor, as well as the governor, Hochul, they are freaking out about this. Because there's been about 16,000 people that have been

that you know illegal aliens that have come in that they've sent up there to them because they said yeah we want to have open borders and we'll take care of everybody so all right well here you go we'll give them to you and 16,000 people is a lot but it's only 0.3% of the people who have come across just in the last few months. It's a third of 1%, and they're freaking out. She's called out the National Guard. You've got Eric Adams talking about it's going to be cheaper for us to put people on cruise ships than to put them in tents in New York City because their bloated, corrupt bureaucracy is so inefficient that you can house people on cruise ships

cheaper than you can put them in a New York City tent. Because people have built these cruise ships and now nobody wants to take them because of all the COVID stuff. And so they're going very, very cheaply. Uh, they'll have enough beds to house up to 1000 adults and they're going to put

them on cruise ships. Now stop and think about this. You know, you're coming in from a super poor country. So you're coming in from Guatemala or something. And, um, you get into Texas and they put you on a,

a plane and ship you to Martha's vineyard or you go to New York and they put you on a cruise ship. I mean, what a life these guys, no wonder we're getting more and more of these people, but you know, you look at the, the ship,

right? Again, what was the last time we saw a ship being put to social and political use? Well, that was during COVID. You had President Trump send the hospital, the Navy ship, right, to New York to help out. And he did another one to L.A. Then they quietly went away with no patients after a few weeks. That was at the very beginning of this.

I was like, you notice that? You notice that they didn't have any patients? You had Franklin Graham setting up a big tent. They had Trump set up 2,500 bed tent. You remember the pictures of it? All of the beds neatly made just as the military does it. You could bounce a penny off of it. And, uh, but completely empty.

And they never showed us a picture of anybody in there. And they quietly took all that stuff down. They took down the army field hospital. They took out the Navy ship. They took out the Franklin Graham thing. And nobody said anything about it because there was no pandemic in New York city, the epicenter, the global epicenter. It was lies. It was all lies.

Now they're going to put ships there, cruise ships, for migrants. A thousand. A large influx of migrants is overwhelming the city's shelter system, with full-time facilities being overcrowded. In response, the city has opened 23 emergency shelters, but they don't have enough beds. So, bring in the ship. Now, how could this be handled other than that? Well, the Dominican Republic shares an island with Haiti. And, um, I've had, uh, people who did, uh, Gary Haven did, um, uh,

went down to Haiti and they, they helped people in the disaster and things like that. And, um, many people have talked about how different the two countries are, uh, in Haiti. It is very pagan and, um, you know, uh, very, very pagan and um you know uh very very poor in the mendicant republic uh it was um a a christian predominantly a you know a catholic culture that was there but just a world of difference between the two and so haiti is one of the poorest countries the mendicant Republic is not all that wealthy, but certainly not as poor as Haiti. And so they've had a tremendous amount of Haitians going into the Dominican Republic. And the response from the Dominican Republic was to build

over 100 miles of border wall to stop illegal immigration from Haiti. You know, both countries are predominantly black, so there's no racial component to this whatsoever. But just look at this and say, how is this possible? How could you quickly build a wall? I mean, you know, Dominican Republic is wealthier than one of the poorest countries on earth, which is Haiti, but it's not that wealthy. I mean, you know, our wall costs tens of millions of dollars per mile.

How could they build 100 miles? Well, because they don't have to do it the way we do it. It's concrete and steel. When finished, it will stand 13 feet tall, and it'll be about 100 miles long. The article from Breitbart points out the only other existing border wall in America that is longer is the U S Mexican border wall, except it's not really effective.

You know, you have, um, about 2000 miles of a border and about 1500 miles of that is a door. Not so much a wall as it is a giant door at the border. And of course we know that, or we wouldn't be talking about an immigration crisis, but of course Breitbart and the rest of these people cannot stop cheering Trump's wall. And it doesn't work.

I mean, it would have been far more effective than building walls. I've said many times, just bring the troops home, as you promised from Iraq and Afghanistan, set them on the border. They don't even have to engage with people. Their mere presence would be a deterrent. And, uh, you know, you could put up some temporary concertina wire or something like that. They keep people, you know, and, and the military presence would end it.

That shut it off right there. Uh, but, uh, it's not even about inter, it's not even about the physical, um, you know, uh, physically, uh, stopping it. We have to understand that it's being incentivized as being incentivized for political purposes by the Democrats is being incentivized for financial purposes by the Republicans because they want it cheap labor. We've got a giant magnet that's pulling people. Forget about the wall. If you've got a magnet of policies pulling people in for whatever their purposes are,

then it's going to suck them in regardless of what you put on the border. And that's the real issue. We've incentivized illegal immigration. Now, the New York governor, Hochul, as I said, had called out the National Guard. 16,000 border crossers have been sent up from Texas, and it's freaking them out. But that's only one-third of 1% of the crossers that are coming.

And it really is a, uh, they have created a crisis. They've incentivized this to create a crisis. I said on a Saturday that they are releasing wolves back into South Carolina. And I said, um, this is, uh, that do the same thing they did with illegal immigrants. And Whistler picked up on it real quickly and goes, yeah, but those are coyotes that are responsible for what's going on.

The illegal immigrants, not wolves. I said, they ought to take the wolves and they ought to ship them to Martha's vineyard, uh, that or New York city. Uh,

I think it probably survived, you know, coyotes can survive. They could probably survive. Coyotes can survive there, real coyotes. Anyway, Lee Zeldin has called on Hochul and on Biden to cut incentives for illegal aliens so as not to attract them to the state. You see, what is happening in these areas where they were isolated from the border, they figured they could virtue signal about this

and give all kinds of incentives. And eventually they did wind up with a lot of people filtering up towards New York. But now they're getting it directly. You know, Texas is accelerating the process. And if you incentivize it, you'll get more of them. And that is really what is happening but the reality is is that we have to uh we have to have some knowledge and some control as to what is happening i've talked many times about the family from el salvador you know el salvador um is uh ms-13 gangs and they really didn't start in el salvador they really started in la

illegal criminal gangs illegal aliens and the criminal gangs and the trafficking and all the rest of the stuff that was around really started creating ms-13 in la and then it became a problem uh and they kind of exported that back into el salv. And so this guy took his family out of that violent situation, and he immigrated up into New York, and they settled up in the Long Island area, which many of them have. And then his daughter was killed by MS-13 gang in school. And he said, I came here to try to get away from that. But you see, if you don't have any control over the borders,

you can't control the good people from the bad people. You can't separate them. And the bad people will follow you in. And now the bad people are here for all of us because of these immigration policies. Even to the extent that they knew these kids were MS-13 because they had it tattooed on their faces and DHS would not deport them.

They said, well, we can't deport them because of DACA. See, we've got DACA here and we're doing deferred action on this. And so even though we know that they're illegal, even though we know that they are MS-13, we're going to leave them here. They left them there and they killed that El Salvador family's daughter. So Lee Zeldin is perhaps their last chance of sanity up in New York. He intends to take immediate substantive action, he said, to repeal New York's green light law, to speak out against Biden's influx of illegal immigrants into New

York and to roll back policies that incentivize illegal immigration. Again, they're freaking out with only one third of 1% coming in. Now, if the cruise ships don't work, Eric Adams is going to put them on an island now. He's got an idea for that as well. An island off of the Bronx. So he's going to take a lot of illegal aliens and put them there. Last Tuesday, he revealed that instead of building the tent towns in Bronx, the tent towns just aren't working. So we're going to look at cruise ships and islands. You want to cruise to the island? It might be a really short trip. His office would build short-term housing

facilities in Randall's Island, a relatively secluded island off the Bronx, to house about 500 border crossers and illegal aliens. 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. I want to play for you a clip. This is from John Stewart, who is, you know, he started out as a comedian doing some politics and became more and more political. He retired for a while, and now he is 100% political. Not too unlike some of the people who still have failing late-night shows.

People like Stephen Colbert. There was a last week I saw Stephen Colbert did a thing with Fauci, had him on his program. And we're supposed to believe that it was an impromptu visit to get Fauci a booster. Yeah, so he takes the crew over, and they're already set up to film all of this stuff. And Fauci really didn't know.

He's just going to show him getting a booster. It's just disgusting what Stephen Colbert has become. Such a shill, not just for the Democrat Party, but for big corporations who are killing people. But now Jon Stewart has become a big shill for the people who are mutilating the children that they weren't able to kill. This is a back and forth that he had with the attorney general of Arizona. It's kind of a, I don't know why in the world she would do an interview with Jon Stewart. She's got to understand that it would turn into something like this.

And so it was kind of an ambush interview. I'll play just a little bit of it, give you an idea of how it went. Why would the state of Arkansas step in to override parents, physicians, psychiatrists, endocrinologists who have developed guidelines? Why would you override those guidelines? Well, I think it's important that all of those physicians, all of those experts, for every single one of them, there's an expert that says we don't need to allow children to be able to take those medications. That there are many instances where...

But you know that's not true. You know it's not for everyone there's one. These are the established medical... Well, I don't know know that's not true. You know it's not for everyone there's one. There's... These are the established medical... Well, I don't know that that's not true. I don't know... We called her a liar. It keeps doing that. If you pass a law, then, if you don't know that that's true, wouldn't you have done something? Well, I know that there are doctors and that we had plenty of people come and testify

before our legislature who said that, you know, we have 98% of the young people who have gender dysphoria, that they are able to move past that. And once they have the help that they need, no longer suffer from gender dysphoria. 98% without that medical treatment. That's an incredibly made up figure. Called her a liar a second time. That doesn't comport with any of the studies or documentation that exists from these medical organizations.

What medical association are you talking about of these doctors? Well, we have all of that in our legislative history, and we'll be glad to provide that to you. I don't have the name of that off the top of my head. I know it's something that- You don't have the name of the organization that you're getting that information? Off the top of my head. Oh, okay. But yes, we have all of that cited in all of my head. I know it's something that can happen. You don't have the name of the organization that you're getting that information? Off the top of my head. Oh, OK.

But yes, we have all of that cited in all of our briefs. You're suggesting that protecting children means overriding the recommendations of the American Medical Association, the American Association of Endocrine Society. Protecting children? We're talking about mutilating. Endocrine Society.

We don't have enough data. We don't have enough to show that these drugs are effective and that these children are better off and that we should encourage these. You don't have enough or it's not enough for you. Let me try and flip it a different way and see if maybe this can help. In Arkansas, you have pediatric cancer.

And obviously we all want to protect children. I think we established that earlier. Whose guidelines do you follow for pediatric cancer? Well, I think if my child, who is four, if I was faced with a terrible decision, then I would be speaking to my doctor. And if my doctor recommended something that I disagreed with, then I would get a second opinion.

And that's what I believe, that these parents need to make sure that they're encouraged to get numerous opinions when they're talking about an irreversible step. You're not letting them. The state's not saying get another opinion. What they're saying is you can't. What you're actually saying is the opposite. No, that's actually not at all what the state said.

The state simply said that you cannot perform these procedures. And so parents should get another opinion. And children should want to. Call it what it is. Don't call it a procedure. Again, these are 9, 10, 11, 12-year-olds. So if your child is suffering from pediatric cancer, and the state comes in and says to you,

they recommend chemotherapy, but we're not going to let you do that. You can't. We think you should get a different opinion, and here's the organization we think you should get the opinion from. They're not the mainstream, but they're an organization. So that's who you have to be treated by. Does that sound like something you would accept? Well, I think that's a very extreme example.

That's not at all. Well, again, it's painful to watch that. But you notice how they flip back and forth, right? They're all about patient, doctor-patient relationships, except when it comes to something like COVID or something like that. And they're all about choice, except when it comes to COVID. But he's still hanging on to this, well, I've got the scientific consensus on my side. I have the establishment. I have the better people

on my side. I've got the AMA. Well, the AMA has become a partner in crime with these people. But it's just amazing and sad to watch her, first of all, doing that interview and referring to it as a procedure. We're talking about double mastectomies on young minors. We're talking about genital mutilation of boys and girls. And, you know, he comes in, how would you override, why would you override these guidelines? And she said, well, you know, not all the physicians and all the experts agree.

Again, she doesn't even understand the basis that science is not about consensus. And so they're going back and forth as to whether or not this ought to be decided by the government. The real issue here is, and she ought to ask him, she said, well, do you support kids smoking and drinking, you know, cigarettes, tobacco? You know, probably would support them having marijuana, but, you know, ask them the question that all liberals don't like. Talk about tobacco. Talk about alcohol for minors.

She would let them buy guns. Should I let the kids buy guns because a lot of them want to have guns i mean every little boy i knew wanted to have a real gun just watch a christmas story they want guns should we give them to them or they might put their eye out you know uh so there are things that we don't allow children to do that we allow adults to do, even some things that you don't want adults to do, we do still allow adults to do. That would put him on the defense, I think. And we say, you know, why would you, even if the parents wanted to give tobacco and alcohol and firearms,

we're going to get the ATF right there, alcohol, tobacco, and firearms. If parents wanted to do that, then, you know, who are you to say that they can't do that? Jon Stewart, right? What is the basis that you would deny the parents arming these kids, you know, liquoring them up, giving them a cigar and an AR-15? What's your problem with that? See, the problem is that they're kids.

That's the issue here. So she doesn't get to the fact that they're kids, that they don't have the maturity to do that. But they avoid talking about what is really the issue here. You know, I would have also asked Mr. Establishment, John Stewart. I would have asked him, since you love the establishment so much, do you support capital punishment? Well, why don't you support capital punishment?

Because you think they might get it wrong and it's irreversible? You know, if they get that wrong, you can't bring the person back after you've killed them. Well, you know, the same thing is true of genital mutilation of children. If you get it wrong, it's irreversible. But unlike a capital murder trial, which can go on for a very, very long time and it can have a lot of appeals, this is something that is really kind of rushed by all other standards. It's something that you say that in general, the AMA or whatever prostituting organization has sold itself out to the government or to the gay mafia or whoever they've sold themselves out to the pharmaceutical companies, whoever the AMA has just prostituted themselves to. Now, because the AMA says so, we're going to do it.

I mean, I wish I could talk to him. Anyway, I'll talk at him. I'll talk at him with a, with an open letter, but the bottom line is that we're talking about genital mutilation of children. We're talking about something that is very difficult. And so this is not something that rightfully belongs to the parents. You know, would John Stewart say that the children can be raped by their parents? Can they be beaten by their parents? Can they be given alcohol, tobacco, and firearms by their parents?

No, no. And it doesn't matter what other people you get involved in. We're not going to stand for that as a society. That's the purpose of government is to come in and to protect the children from some of these things that some abusive parents might do. And these parents are abusive. Many of them are living vicariously to this. They're really kind of like the stage mothers. It's kind of like, um, you know, the Munchausen by proxy thing where you,

my kid is got terminal cancer. Now everybody feels sorry for me, that type of thing. Oh, look at, you know, the virtue signaling, look at my kid is in the wrong body. Well, we know exactly, um, what that is. So, um, anyway, that was a painful interview to watch. Um, he, um, he said, well, I've got some bad news for you. Parents with children have gender Anyway, that was a painful interview to watch. He said, well, I've got some bad news for you parents with children who have gender dysphoria. You have children, when they're talking about the cancer thing, he says, I've got some bad news for you. Parents who have kids with gender dysphoria, they committed suicide. And they suffer from depression and so forth.

Again, this is a psychological disorder. Now you're making this an irreversible physical disorder. You're talking about a psychological disorder which can be addressed psychologically. It may have been induced by some of these establishment institutions that he thinks so much of. It might have been induced by some of these medical professionals who are making a lot of money doing this. How is it that liberals never think about the financial greed of the pharmaceutical companies or the Planned Parenthood, who is doing both abortions and mutilation of kids. Why is it that they don't ever pay any attention to that?

So she does say, well, these are irreversible decisions that these kids are making, making the decisions. She said, you're making it sound, and then he replies, he says, you make it sound like a nine-year-old walks into a doctor's office and says, give me some testosterone. And the doctor says, oh, thank God, because we're wanting to create an army of transgenders because we're crazy. So he doesn't think that these people have an agenda.

They're just trying to help, standing on the sideline. This is why this is all happening now. As an editorial on Red State says, the John Stewart interview pushing child mutilation, he has become simply the face of evil. Again, nobody ever says, you know, double mastectomies for teenagers are good and here's why. You know, please defend that. Let's define the terms of what we're talking about here. Instead of talking in the abstract about procedures, let's just say that. You want to defend double mastectomies for young children?

You want to defend genital mutilation for young? Go ahead. Tell me about it. You tell me about it. He says, let's understand that the default position is that you do not have to justify not wanting to mutilate children. That should be the default position that we have. And so as a result, you see all of these people, Colbert, Kimmel, all of these people, Coward, Stern, all of them have become so politicized, as I've been calling them the longest time, they're nothing other than court jesters. And it's just another example of how

every aspect of our life has become politicized. It truly is amazing. We're going to take a quick break, and when we come back, I'm going to talk about how religion has been politicized. In this particular case, by the right, because the left doesn't have any formal religion. They do have religions. They have the religion of the LGBT, that religion of racism. These things are religions of sort, but I'm talking about a real formal religion. We'll

be right back. Stay with us. ¶¶ You're listening to The David Knight Show. you know let's talk a little bit about how morality i think and part of this is because we're in the fourth turning and people are reassessing where we are with our institutions, where we are with our countries and that type of thing. And it's also because we see these things under attack so much, but I think it's all of those things combined. People are reassessing it. And I talked last week about Vladimir Putin's speech where he talked, mocked the idea of parent one, parent two, maybe even parent three. He says, do you really want that in Russia? And he used that, he talked a lot more about the moral issues and the moral decline of the West that he did

in terms of talking about, you know, the political, geopolitical origins of this, the push by NATO or the coup in Ukraine or the eight-year war in Donbass. He touched on those, but he really kind of focused on the moral issues. And so this is an op-ed piece from Michael Milton. And he says Putin's speech and what it tells us about the moral high ground in the West. He says a lot in the speech, things about implied nuclear threats and things like that. But he said, gone are the days, the Cold War days, when a rambling communist would have a diatribe focusing on Western greed. Today, Putin cited the degrading trends of abhorrent sexuality, including sex change, surgery on children, and the Western cultural indoctrination of its citizens into accepting the normalization of homosexuality and transgenderism as examples

of Western weakness and degeneration. Having a veritable dictator and a former Soviet KGB operative pointing out your sins is hypocritical at best and diabolical at worst, he says. But you want to talk about diabolical, right? That means satanic, essentially, right? Diablos. It's always been said that Satan lies to us when he talks to us about God, but he tells the truth when he talks about us.

And so if you want to call Putin, Satan, or a devil, the bottom line is he did tell the truth about us. And I thought this was an interesting essay because the point that he was making was that moral high ground is still important. It's still important in terms of motivating your own people. That's why Putin was talking to his people, and he was telling them, this is what we're fighting for and what we're fighting against.

In the West, you have people like the head of British intelligence saying we're fighting for the LGBT, right? That's what we're fighting for the rainbow flag. That's not going to motivate people. Is it going to motivate people to know that we are fighting for a commander in chief who has just violated the religious liberties of his own soldiers, kicking them out by the tens of thousands. And then unable to get people to take their place because they see what this has become.

Is that the moral high ground? Vaccine mandates, pronoun mandates, rainbow flags. Is that the moral high ground? That's not the way you motivate the people. And that's what he's talking about here. Now, he says Putin extolled the virtues of the Russian Orthodox Church theology. Yeah, there's little evidence of such Christian virtue in Putin's ruthless war

against his neighbors or threats of nuclear war, says this author. Well, I would just say that the Russian Orthodox Church, you just had the head of it, the guy's name is Krillin or something like that. Anyway, he was telling everybody, go to war. If you die in the war, you go straight to heaven.

This is like something straight out of suicide bombers out of Islam. There's nothing Christian about that. That is not Christianity whatsoever. You don't get your sins forgiven by dying in a war for your political entity. That's not even remotely Christian. But he's now deploying, says this person, a deadly weapon of war, the demoralization of one's adversary. Well, again, he wasn't even talking to us, but people do see the speech and you look at it and you go, yeah, he really is reading our mail, isn't he?

He knows exactly what is going on with the moral decline of the West. And part of the moral decline of the West is pushing a preemptive war, a preemptive nuclear war, which they're still covering up for Zelensky. That was one of the most amazing things last week to me. The fact that Zelensky would come out and demand that NATO preemptively strike Russia and escalate it to a nuclear war. And then that the Biden administration and the mainstream press would cover for that. It was only reported in alternative press.

And all the mainstream outlets, and I talked about it last week, they either refused, all of them refused to cover it. Only the Daily Mail covered it, and they covered it way, way down. And they said, well, you know, it was a blunder. A blunder? No, it was very explicit. I played that for you several times last week. He knew exactly what he was saying. It was not a blunder. But what everybody in the mainstream press did and what the Biden administration did was they had Biden go out and talk about, well, this is apocalyptic language and it's dangerous for Putin to talk about nuclear war. No, it was Zelensky who was talking about it. And so you have Biden acting as if it was

Putin talking about that. And everybody covers that and then debates whether or not Biden is escalating the rhetoric by accusing Putin of apocalyptic rhetoric. That's what the debate became. They did everything they could to cover up this murderous little thug puppet, Zelensky, and what he had to say. So yeah, moral high ground is also about not having a preemptive strike and not having a nuclear strike. And even though Putin should be criticized

for initiating this military action, this is not anything where the West has any moral high ground to stand on. How many times have we invaded other countries, created massive destruction under false pretenses even, and continued to do so and maintain that we have the right to do it, whereas other people are somehow war criminals if they do what we have been doing for the last several decades.

So anyway, he said the moral high ground is a vital strategic variable in both cold and hot wars, and Putin played the moral high ground angle with cunning because, you know, he invaded first. Well, we have done that as well. So he says our increasingly foolish

denial of reality condemning human sexuality has given him a new weapon against us. Against us. Well, it's, again, it is a weapon that God is going to be wielding against us, not Putin. That's what we should be concerned about.

We must recover our moral high ground through Christ or expect the removal of our high ground by enemies that are eager to seize it. And this is very true on even a personal level. When we look at this, like I said, Satan will tell the truth about us. He'll lie about God. He'll lie about God. He'll lie about gender. But we have to, on a personal basis, we have to understand and be objective about where we are, right? We should look at what our country is doing,

what our society is doing, and we need to look at it objectively. What is the standard? Is it going to be what we feel good about? No, there is an objective standard, just like there is an objective standard for law and for politics, the constitution that they all swear to uphold. You know, for Christians, we have sworn to uphold God's law. We should look at that as an objective standard. You know, understand non-Christians haven't. They will be held to that standard by God, but from a political standard, I don't expect that they're going to follow that. That's between them and God, and we try to do our best to what we think is trying to help and love them, to point that out to them, that God will hold them to that standard. But on a societal level, there is no obligation for them to obey the standard that we have

sworn to uphold. But as Christians, we don't uphold that standard. And so we have to look at ourselves with the same kind of critical light that Putin is doing. That's one of the reasons why I said last week, when you look at Herschel Walker, it's so sad that he's been given a free pass by these so-called Christian pastors who are supporting him. Why did they get involved? Well, because he came out very strongly against abortion. But then when you find out that 11 years ago, he was apparently funding it multiple times. Even prior to that, you had revelations coming out that somebody had accused him of violence

against her and of holding a gun to her head and things like that. And his response to it was, let the person without sin cast the first stone. What kind of response is that? Even a liberal who looked at this and the Herschel Walker thing said, what are these people doing? Look at the hypocrisy of Christianity. If you have these pastors who say,

well, we don't care. We simply don't care. It's just a pragmatic calculation. And maybe he had abortions in the past, but, you know, Warnock, his opponent, wants to fund abortions. He wants to make them legal and all the rest of this stuff. But the reality is, is that, yeah, that would be something that, a decision that would influence it in terms of lesser of evils if I were casting that vote, but you don't excuse it, you see. And they're not loving Herschel Walker. They're using Herschel Walker. He's a person who ought to be the most pitied in all of this, because you've got all

these pastors out there giving him a pass and giving people like this, this writer on the left who looked at this and said, this doesn't make any sense. I would expect his response to be either an adamant denial of this, but that's kind of hard because they've got the receipts. If he's not going to deny it, I would expect him to say something along the lines of, it was 11 years ago, and I'm a different person today. And here's why. Here's what changed my life.

Here's what changed my thinking. And that would be where he could actually come out and do the most good in terms of a pro-life agenda if he would explain that to people. But instead, he just lies about it, even though they've got receipts about it. And so he is plummeting in the polls, and rightfully so. And it shows the corruption that has been brought into the Republican Party by a lot of so-called Christian pastors like Paula White and others who have essentially excused everything that Trump does in order to ride his coattails of popularity and finance. That's exactly what Alex did.

You know, you just, you become an apologist for him. And once you go down that route, it's really hard to get off of that. You're writing that thing, and now I've already made all these excuses for this guy. Now he continues to do more bad things, and I'm just going to continue to ignore that. And we're focused, because of the Trump world now, we're focused on these celebrity candidates, people like Herschel Walker, people like Dr. Oz, who don't have our principles, if they've got any principles at all. They don't have our principles. And because they say that they will, they promise that they're going to do something about abortion, then you have these pastors who just throw all caution to the wind and say,

well, okay, that's it. You can lie about your past. You don't have to show any remorse or regret. You don't have to confess your sins. You don't have to turn from them. You don't have to tell people I'm a different person. I mean, he could have the decency to lie about that, but he doesn't. And they don't have the decency to tell him.

That's the worst part of it. Instead, what the left is seeing is, yeah, the Christians talk about all this stuff, but they don't really believe it. It's all just simply about politics and pragmatism. And so then that brings us to Christian nationalism and Flynn. Because this reawaken roadshow, these got going, it's going to be going through, uh, sometime in November. He's got like another three or four events.

They will have done 24 of these things all around the country over the last year. And they're down to the final three or four of these. And they're now bringing in troths and baptizing people and stuff, which would be fine if it wasn't for what has been said at these meetings. Because this pejorative of Christian nationalism that is being used to silence anybody who talks about their Christian principles is being fostered by people like Flynn, who is not even talking about Christianity. I mean, his theology is New Age theosophy. He, you know, and I'll play you again, you know, how he

plagiarized this prayer from this woman who was a New Age theosophist. But this op-ed piece from John Stone Street, Should Christians Be Nationalists? And he talks about the fact that yes, we should not be afraid of getting involved in politics. As a matter of fact, we have a duty and

responsibility to do that. And we should not be shamed in terms of doing that. But we need to have some discernment about where we draw the lines on this. He said, from critics within the church, Christian nationalism unfaithfully conflates the cross of Christ with the stars and stripes,

abandoning the Christian's heavenly citizenship for worldly causes, efforts, and allegiances. But at the same time, it's impossible, it's almost impossible, to take many of the critics seriously when this label has been reduced to a cynical political tool the same way they do with racism right everybody that they don't like everybody that's on the other side of the aisle well they're racist everybody they don't like that has even mentions anything about morality oh you're a christian nationalist

uh so yeah it is uh cynically used as a political tool. Christianity properly understood is not a privatized, however, pietistic set of religious principles. It's one of the reasons why I had Matt Trahuela on last week. You know, it is not about, well, it's just what I think about and it doesn't actually influence anything in the real world, and I'm not supposed to have it influence my life or society or anything like that. I should just keep it in the closet. That's pietism.

To love God and to love your neighbor, which is a summation of the Christian's duty, involves all of life, personal and cultural, and yes, political. God has called us to this time, this place, a time and place just as much subject to the rule and reign of Christ as any other. We are to obey Christ, teach others to obey him. We are to do good whenever we can, wherever we can. Given that many Western nations were founded as Christian states, this involves stewarding the best parts of our heritage while working to oppose evil and advance good. Doing such today will inevitably, however, bring accusations of Christian nationalism, but this should not deter us.

We should not be shamed by this label, any more than we should be shamed by the label of racist when we're not racist. At the same time, it's a mistake to claim that the label of Christian nationalism, as some have done. It says, first, while there's clear instructions and important biblical theological implications for citizenship, there is not a biblical category for Christian nationalism. Except Flynn is trying to do that.

And, you know, he is really the poster child for this and this whole reawaken tour that they have that's going on. Christians must not allow accusations of Christian nationalism to disengage them from politics. Simply put, Christians are supposed to get political. Allowing our Christian faith to affect our politics does not only mean having Christians in politics. Just as being a Christian doesn't make one a better pilot, being a follower of Christ doesn't per se make one a better leader of people.

So we understand that, first of all. Secondly, he says, we have to constantly fight against the political illusion, thinking that all problems are at their root political. And this is the biggest issue, I think. And this is what is happening to the church in so many different ways. Politics becomes bigger than God. And we think that everything is a political thing. And once you start thinking like that, you start thinking, well, if all the big problems are political, that means we've got to go all the way to the top.

We've got to go to Washington. And we've got to solve everything in Washington, which is a trap, because now we're setting up an omnipotent, centralized government. And that's the other thing that I've been seeing. So the idea that everything needs to be solved, that all the problems are fundamentally political, just like the war on drugs, for example. The war on drugs is fundamentally spiritual. And many police officers, many people who are former judges, because typically as they're sitting on a judge, as they are currently a judge, they don't want to come out against the war on drugs, right? So they do it after they retire. But as I point out,

it hasn't worked. It's not pragmatic even. It doesn't get to the root. It doesn't get to the problem because the problem is spiritual and you're not going to solve that with a bunch of cops. So we have to understand that all problems are not political and therefore all solutions are not political. You can never replace the family, the government can't. It can never replace the family, the church. It can't replace a strong civil society and the moral formation of citizens. And that's true whether our people are in power or whether their people are in power.

The church should never look to the state to do what it is called to do. And in this, he talks about Abraham Kuyper, who was prime minister in the Netherlands, but he was also a pastor, and he was the one who talked about having different spheres of influence. And that is one of the things that I think keeps this in the proper perspective. We don't have a, and this is by design in America, but I think this is a Christian

principle as well. I know it is. We don't have a pyramid structure in terms of human institutions. Everything is in a hierarchical structure when it comes to God, but not in human institutions. In human institutions, you have different spheres. You have the family as one sphere. You have the church as another. You have the family as one sphere. You have the church as another. You have the political sphere as another. Even the individual is a sphere. And there are certain areas where these different spheres of influences, these different institutions, I forget the individual sphere for a second,

but when we talk about the institutional things, such as church and family and state and things like that, and you could even throw in their corporations as well, since they've gotten so outsized in terms of their impact on our lives. But all of them have their sphere of influence and they need to stay within it. And that includes government. Everything is not subsumed into government. We don't have a pyramid structure where government is at the top and everybody else is underneath it in some way, shape, or form.

And we don't have our government was deliberately set up that way to have a separation of powers, to have different spheres of authority. In the federal government, they divided power. They had different spheres of authority. We've now blurred and erased those lines. And then they wanted to make sure that there was going to be a sphere of authority of the people, we the people, as well as the states. It was all different from the federal government. That's what the Tenth Amendment is about. And so you had different spheres of authority, and that is a Christian perspective as well,

because the people who set up our form of government were at least culturally Christian. So especially in a context like ours and where citizens are invited into the political process, every Christian should consider political involvement as a calling. So be informed, vote, campaign, run for office, whatever. That is something we should all be called to, but we have to have discernment. And I wanted to talk about that first before I talk about the worst case, which is Michael Flynn. And he's at it again. Flynn, Trump, and the ascendance of spiritual warfare. This is now back in front of us again.

It was a year ago that you had Flynn at one of these reawakened things. It was a year ago that he was leading people in this prayer from a pagan theosophist, Elizabeth the Prophet. We are your instrument of those sevenfold rays and all your archangels, all of them. And I am the instrument of those sevenfold rays and archangels, and I will not retreat. I will take my stand. We will not retreat. We will stand our ground. I will not fear to speak. We will not fear to speak. And I will be the instrument of God's will, whatever it is. We will be the instrument of your will. We will be the instrument of your will. Whatever it is. In the name of Archangel Michael and his legions, I am freeborn

and I shall remain freeborn. In your name and the name of your legions, we are freeborn and we shall remain freeborn. And I shall not be enslaved by any foe within or without. And we shall not be enslaved by any foe within or without. So help me God. God bless you. God bless America. Thank you very much. Well, there you go. And see that, that illustrates it in a number of ways. First of all, uh, that is Biden level plagiarism.

You remember that was, uh, the key thing that took Biden down when he ran about 30, 40 years ago or something was his plagiarism multiple times of American politicians, of British politicians, that type of thing. But it's outright plagiarism. But what is, I think, really troubling to me is that he brought all those people along with him. And after he was criticized for that, and after people started calling him satanic, uh, because that church, uh, that, um,

you know, new age, uh, theosophy, you know, is, uh, something that was, um, uh, channeled by Elizabeth Clare prophet openly talking about that as anti-Christian. And so after he was criticized for that, it was about four to six weeks after that that Flynn said, we can't have one nation under God if we don't have one religion. And so at that point, I said, oh, okay, well, which religion is that? Is that Christianity or is that the religion of Elizabeth Clare Prophet. And so he was, as he talks about legions and sevenfold rays, and you heard all that, it's pure plagiarism of this individual. It makes you wonder, what is the religion?

We're your instrument of the sevenfold rays, the archangels, he said. And he just repeated that verbatim. Elizabeth Clare Prophet, who I didn't even know about until Michael Flynn brought her to my attention. Interestingly enough, the cult that she led in the 1980s was a doomsday cult. They thought the world was going to end soon with a nuclear war. Isn't that interesting?

Now, Michael Flynn, as we have something of a doomsday cult with NATO and the European countries and Putin and everybody is focusing on a doomsday, now her stuff comes back. Isn't that interesting? Her church was called the Church Universal and Triumphant And

Went by the Went by the initials C-U-T They should have come up with Something for an L so they could have called themselves Cult C-U-L-T But it was a cult They had ties to

theosophy. There was also ties to another cult movement called the I Am movement. They still exist today. It was a real crisis for them when she died at the age of 70, because that was not what she had predicted, and it was not what they were expecting. So the guy who put this together, that clip there, the two of them back and forth, was Jim Stewartson. He calls himself an anti-disinfo activist, posting that side-by-side video there. But he tweeted, he said, I just changed. All he did with all of that plagiarism, Michael Flynn just changed I am, because that was part of the I am cult, to we will. He said, please share this with Flynn's cult.

It's important that they know that he is not Christian. He also described how Flynn used similar terminology from the I Am cult in previous speeches. Another person, Karen Piper, said, why is Flynn making people recite Elizabeth Clare Prophet? He said he carries the prayer in his pocket. And she shared a link to a book that contained the prayer, saying it's not something you would just happen upon. So that raises real questions about, you know, is Flynn part of a doomsday nuclear, you know, cult that is going on here as well?

It's troubling in a lot of different ways. But again, over the last week, it's come up several times, and they got more of these reawakened roadshows. Michael Flynn's reawakened roadshow recruits so-called Army of God doing tent revivals and baptisms and troughs. And again, I don't think there's anything you can get baptized in a trough. That's fine. My concern is, as I watch him leading these people in this New Age cult,

nuclear doomsday cult, I'm wondering just how Christian any of this is. So he's doing these programs and these venues that he's going to now that typically have about 3,000 people at them. As they're talking about it, they said it is spiritual warfare, it is political warfare, and they're right about that. They're absolutely right about that. And that's what's so dangerous about this. This is why I get so upset about what Alex Jones does.

When you mix the truth with a lie, when you take a fundamental truth and then you add a distracting lie on top of it, that becomes a very dangerous thing because it discredits, number one, it discredits the truth. And number two, you come in and make common cause with what people know is true so that you can deceive them that's what's so dangerous about this approach so Flynn warned the crowd that they were in the midst of a spiritual war and in a political war see and then he you know does things like I just showed you there. Uh, he doesn't, as a matter of fact, I, um, Alex was in a lot of these, uh,

reawakened Alex and Roger Stone. As a matter of fact, Roger's going to be in the next one that they're doing. And so when he made that statement about how we need to have one religion, like what? And so, um, I started looking him up. I saw that he had, this reawaken show, Alex had spoken. And then after the event, he brought in Flynn, Flynn's brother

and the overstock billionaire. I can't remember the guy's name right now, but he brought those guys, Patrick Byrne. So he brought all of them in. They did a round table, the four of them. And, uh, so I downloaded the video to get a transcript of it. And, um, and I searched it, you know, was there anything in there said, you know, a lot of stuff about religion and spiritual war and all this, they mentioned Jesus in there at all. Christ. No, none of these, there's nothing at all Christian in any of it. They're using that.

All of them are using it. Now, Alex has got his new age, uh, website. Uh, you can pay like 200 bucks or something to get some kind of new age. He's got a,

some kind of a guru psychologist that set up the website and he's driving traffic to it. But again, this is becoming a common deception and people need to have discernment and you need to understand, yes, it really is a spiritual war. It really is a political war. It really is going to be a nuclear war, I think. Some kind of a kinetic war. I think, as I've said before, I think it's going to be a world war, a civil war, a revolutionary war.

And you better understand which side these people are on before you follow them, because you don't want to be on the wrong side. Since early last year, the Reawaken America Tour has carried its message across the country to tens of thousands of people. At this point in time, they were saying it was 15 cities and towns. Actually, I count it as almost 20 of them. And it's not to demonize everybody who speaks there. You've got Lindell. You've had the doctor that's head of America's frontline doctors that was just put in jail.

She's spoken there. Zielinski has spoken there, the good Zielinski, the bad guy from Ukraine. But the Orthodox Jewish physician who came out with hydroxychloroquine and zinc at the very beginning, and he's now passed away. So, I mean, there's some good people who speak there. It doesn't make you a bad person just to speak there.

But we need to understand how this is being used by the people who are controlling this. There could even be some people, maybe there's some real Christians there that are really giving the gospel to people. Maybe this is people who are having a real Christian experience there. But I'm just saying, you got to be very, very careful about this. And the AP is, of course, using this to

demonize all Christians and to demonize the fact that Christians should participate in politics whatsoever. This is the damaging aspect of this because he's misusing this. You've had RFK Jr. speaking there. Again, I'm sure that RFK Jr. is not trying to make this a religious issue. I mean, there is a big religious issue with the vaccines for sure, but he has focused on the medical aspects of it. He's focused on the medical and the legal aspects of it. He's not focused on the medical and legal aspects of it he's not focused on the um um the abortion side of it or even the um moving the overton window uh to a mark of the beast thing that's not what rfk jr does that's what these guys are doing and they're playing around with something

that um you know they're playing around with with christianity and and they're not giving people the gospel. Same criticism I have of the people who are surrounding Herschel Walker. We're going to take a quick break and we will be right back. Stay with us. Decoding decoding the mainstream propaganda it's the david knight show i want to talk a little bit about what's happening with policing in this country and i'm not talking about it from the standpoint that we need to get rid of police i think think instead of having police, we ought to have sheriffs and deputies because the sheriffs are elected

and the police are a function of a government bureaucracy. I mean, the way I see the division between police and sheriffs is the same way I see the division between Congress and a bureaucracy, writing the rules versus Congress passing the laws. You elect Congress, and so you have some input into that process, but there is no accountability for a bureaucracy that's going to write the rules.

And I think the same thing is true of police departments. You know, you can still have a horrific Congress. You can still have a Congress that disobeys the Constitution, and you can still have a horrific sheriff that disobeys the constitution and does other things. Uh, but, um, you know, it's, it's better to have something you have to have, uh, and preserve those, um, that accountability that we've always had. I just want to thank Alexander. Thank you very much for the tip on Rockfin. I appreciate that very much. Thank you. Uh,

so let's talk a little bit about the police and understand that just as we have seen in the past, when, when you would have an egregious excess force used against somebody, if it was a situation where it was white on black, you had a white officer against a black victim in the community, then it would result in riots and a lot of other things like that. And I said for the longest time, I said, well, yeah, but look at these other issues out there. And everybody would always play the game. Uh, on the right, they would say in terms of pushing back against black lives, Marxist,

they would say, well, there's more white people who are hurt by the police than there are black people. Well, that's true. And then the other side would say, yeah, but it's a higher percentage of black people that are hurt by excessive force by the police. And that is also true. So you have these two competing truths that people would throw one or the other out there to support their side in all of this. And I said, from the very beginning, I said, well, why don't we acknowledge that both of those are right?

And why don't we come together and why don't we fix the institution? You know, Frank Serpico became a big outspoken proponent about whistleblowers. He called them, you know, shining lights in the police departments. And he said, any institution, if you're going to have a human institution, you're going to have humans and you're going to have some bad actors that are going to come into any institution and the police are no exception. And he said, the question then becomes, are you going to purge the bad actors out or will the institution embrace them?

If the institution embraces the bad actors, instead of pushing them out, then it becomes corrupt. And that's why we should be concerned about this. So here's a few examples of what is, uh, some of the egregious examples that have happened in the last few days. And I mean, this is something, if you want to see this on a regular basis, it's depressing, but it is important to know that it's there.

I don't cover it all the time. Free thought project does, and I'm not criticizing them for covering it. I'm just saying, I don't cover it that much. I do from time to time. But these are examples that have gone beyond even the Free Thought Project, even though this first one is from the Free Thought Project. This one, a cop mistakes an innocent woman and her children for criminals and rams their car head on, head on, under mere suspicion, without verifying anything.

She said, I'm sitting at the light and he comes and hits me from the front. And this is in Fairfax, Virginia. Jamie Kimball was the mother. She was on her way to the grocery store to buy food for her two children when all of a sudden her family's life was at mother. She was on her way to the grocery store to buy food for her two children when all of a sudden her family's life was at stake. As she waited at a traffic light, a police cruiser came barreling into her car head on with both of her children inside, and it wasn't an accident. It was an officer with a Fairfax County Police Department who deliberately rammed his car into her vehicle and then, as if that wasn't bad enough, gets out and holds the family at gunpoint.

Now this is a mom with two kids and he puts a gun on them. Uh, he thought that she had committed a crime that she had not, uh, the officer accused her being involved in a high-speed chase the week before. However, she had an airtight alibi. On the day the police accused her of being involved in a high-speed chase, she was in the hospital giving birth to her youngest child. After police rammed her, officers jumped out of the car, held her and her young children at gunpoint

before handcuffing and demanding, and detaining her rather, and they refused to give her medical treatment. The officer never once attempted to pull over the vehicle, instead went straight for ramming the family head on. The department justified the stop by claiming that her car gave them probable cause. She had the same type of car that they'd had an incident with a week ago, right? So that's probable cause, no problem. The problem is excessive use of force.

They would have probable cause to engage her, to question her, to scrutinize her or whatever, but not to attack her and then pull guns on her and her kids. Unfortunately, this situation plays out over and over again in the land of the free. Here's another example. Nicole Harper driving home on the interstate when a police officer accused her of driving fast and targeted her for a ticket. Not wanting to pull

over on a dark highway, Harper, who was pregnant with her daughter at the time, tried to drive to a well-lit spot to get the ticket. They put it here to be extorted. Harper put on her hazard light, pulled into the right lane, and slowed down to look for a well-lit area to stop. I've actually had, I've done the same type of thing, and I've had a police officer who pulled me over, thank me for not pulling over in a dangerous spot. And I've seen the situation when we were living in Houston in the early 1980s. You had a cop pulled somebody over for speeding, and they stopped on one of the really tall flyovers.

You know, we have an elevated bridge type of thing. And while they stopped, and he was on a know, he was on a motorcycle and he was giving the car a ticket and it was a very day, it was on a curve and it was on a flyover elevated thing. And a 18 wheeler came along and hit them and killed everybody. And it was a tanker and it caught fire and it burned down the concrete and steel flyover there. Horrific. So yeah, you do want to pull over into a safe area. So anyway, so failing to immediately pull over enraged the Arkansas state trooper.

And he decided that it was time to perform a pit maneuver on the pregnant woman. Now, you know what this is. This is where you hit the car and you make it spin out, right? That's when he decided to do a pit maneuver. That caused her car to roll over, end over end, before crashing into a concrete barrier at 60 miles an hour. Luckily, she and her unborn baby survived. The family of 12-year-old Layden Boykins was not as lucky.

To enforce another speeding ticket, police used a pit maneuver on a car full of children in Georgia, knowing that children were inside. And when the car flipped, the 12-year-old was killed. Then we have this story that's been picked up by a lot of mainstream press over the last couple of days. This is a police officer with the San Antonio Police Department. And again, this is a, that's a car. I recognize that car from somebody that we tried to pull over and they got away.

He thinks, uh, we don't know if this is true or not with this one. We know that it wasn't true with the woman who was accused of that, but she was in the hospital delivering a baby. Uh, we don't know that's the case with this. Instead, what he does is he, um, and you can see his body camera footage, right? He starts looking at the car. I think that's the car. I think that's the car. And he goes over and he rips the door open and there's a 17 year old there and he's got the cars running and he's got his girlfriend there with him. And he's eating a hamburger there at McDonald's and they're

listening to the radio. And he's, you can see it from the body cam footage. He's absolutely amazed. He doesn't know what's going on. And the car starts to roll back slowly and the door is open. And so then because of the, you know, he's gotten himself in a dangerous position. He's got the open door that he's, that the cop opened up. Now that open door that he opened up and he's there, it's starting to come at him. And he, um, just, uh, starts shooting at the kid in there.

Yeah. Show a little bit of the video there. Um, without first addressing the driver and you can, um, uh, you can see that video. Then once you get it pulled up without addressing the driver, he abruptly opens the door, showing the 17-year-old, and it takes a little while. Yeah, go into the video there. It's right about, yeah,

right about here is where it happens. And so he doesn't address the driver. He just opens the door. Get out of the car. Look at that. Isn't that amazing? Now he's. Now you think about that.

So many things went wrong with that, as I pointed out. So with no threat at all to his safety, uh, he shoots into the car. Uh, of course he, the only thing that you could argue that he was at risk there was how he had positioned himself by opening the door without giving, uh, any, any warning to it.

And so then he shoots in there as the car is, is now rolling back or being backed up either way. I mean, what, what would you do if you're sitting there eating a thing? All of a sudden the guy got the gun drawn and he opens up the door? Looking at him, the kid looked very confused. I don't know if he was deliberately trying to back up or what.

But here's the key thing. When there was no threat to his safety, he yelled, shots fired three times, and then he unloads another five rounds into the car as the car is driving off he shot the kid multiple times the kid is uh injured uh the the 17 year old female that was there with a 17 year old male was not injured uh but he is in the hospital uh no guns on him no drugs nothing i don't know if that was the car they were looking for or not now in this particular case rather than saying that it was justified and the San Antonio

Police Department fired that cop, he was kind of a rookie cop, anyway, from what they said, he was fired three days later. The kid in the car was initially charged with evading police and aggravated assault, but the Bayhar County District Attorney rejected the charges for what he says is a lack of evidence and maybe anticipation of an inevitable multi-million dollar civil suit. The cop has been fired but has not been charged. So the police chief said,

you don't know for certain that it's the same vehicle. And you don't know for certain that it's the same vehicle and you don't know for certain that it's the same driver. Why would you do that? Well, that's good. I'm glad that the police chief said that. He also used poor technique, they said, by placing himself in the arc of an open door of a running vehicle and that once he was clear of the door, he was no longer in danger. See, that's the key thing and that's one of the things that needs to be changed about policing. And that is they need to be held to the same standard that all of us need to be held to. And that is if somebody is in your house and coming at you, you are entitled to shoot. But if they grab your TV and they're running away, you can't shoot them in the back.

And that's what he was doing right there. You know, when you shoot in self-defense. So anyway, the driver was going in the opposite direction, away from the officer, and he's still shooting at the car. Now, Information Liberation points out, had Cantu been black, it is safe to say that racism would have been assumed. The San Antonio McDonald's might now be a smoldering husk, which is what happened to Wendy's in Atlanta when you had a person fatally shot there by the police after he grabbed

an officer's taser and then fired it, resisting arrest. So there, there was actually a fight back at that, but actually, I'm sorry, that was not information liberation. That was zero hedge. But again, that's the issue that I had with Black Lives Matter, is that they're taking the real issue off the table because it is independent. The politicization of it and the reactions of it

are all about skin color. But the policing rules that people are using are, are something that is independent of that. And here's another example that I talked about the fact that, and we, you know, we talked about the father of seven who had the SWAT raid on his house, claiming that he got in the way of an abortion clinic.

And now this is another federalization of this is all about politics. This is about the Democrats are doing this and the run up to the election. And so at the end of the week last week, we had 11 people that then had raids conducted on them. This is just one of these raids. This is the wife of a man who was arrested. They were hauling away Paul Vaughn, a 55-year-old man, charged in relation to a protest saying that they had blocked access

to an abortion clinic in Tennessee. The woman can be heard pleading with the federal agents, the FBI, to answer her questions, which included a query about why the agents clinic in Tennessee. The woman can be heard pleading with the federal agents, the FBI, to answer her questions, which included a query about why the agents were banging on my door with a gun. You're not going to let me then? No, I want to know why you were banging on my door with a gun. You're not going to tell me anything? No, I did not. I tried. No, you didn't.

Yes, I did. You did not try. And so she is following them out with her phone, and they are in their car. They're sealed up, and they're leaving. This is not acceptable. They won't talk to her. They won't even look at her. Here comes another agent from another one of the cars and won't respond to her, won't even look at her.

Can I have your name? FBI. You're not going to give me your name. You're not going to give me any information. You say this two car loads full of agents, the bulletproof vests, AR-15s, carried off her husband in his mid-50s. The ages of those charged in Tennessee range from 24 to 87 years old. All of them are charged with Face Act violations, and the majority of them could be facing up to 11 years in prison and $350,000 fine. time. And as I said before, um, uh, this is, uh, if somebody is involved in, um, and assaulting people and getting physical with people or something like that, that's a different issue. But if you're going to say that we're going to send people away for 11 years and find them $350,000

because they somehow interfered with someone who wanted to get into an abortion clinic, that becomes a very subjective standard, number one. Number two, that is, without any doubt, excessive punishment and excessive fines. We're going to take a quick break, and we will be right back. Stay with us. The Common Man.

Their most powerful weapons are isolation, deception, intimidation. They desire to know everything about us while they hide everything from us. It's time to turn that around and expose what they want to hide. Please share the information and links you'll find at thedavidknightshow.com. Thank you for listening. Thank you for sharing.

If you can't support us financially, please keep us in your prayers. thedavidknightShow.com Well, let's talk about the crime in Crimea. We've been talking about cops. Let's talk about what is going on in Crimea. And, of course, the explosion on the bridge, which I'm sure by now you have seen. I showed footage of this on Saturday's show. Pretty amazing footage of the collapsed bridge on one side going straight into the water. I had a listener on Saturday's show saying that he has family there in Kerch, which is where the bridge

led. They're scared to death about what is going on. Blew up one part of the road there and set the rail. There's also a rail that runs alongside of it and elevated, and there were tanker cars there they burned as well. But now they have reopened it for traffic uh there is a clip of that the bridge is um as a matter of fact there was like a skyway bridge in tampa as well that reminded me of that sometimes they'll so they don't have to open up the bridges they will elevate them in one spot and so they can let some big ships go through. This particular one is really elevated.

It was really amazing to watch them as they took the first group of cars in the line. And I mean, they're just going straight up over this bridge. Um, and so it was only opened about four years ago. Uh, they began doing it after 2014.

Uh, Crimea was kind of isolated from the rest of Russia. After they said they wanted independence there, they built a bridge to it. And now they have another access via territory that Russia has taken. But it became a very important piece of infrastructure as well as a political symbol to take that down. But again, it's escalation. Every couple of days we see something escalating there. Josh Hammer writes,

the U.S. needs to change course right now in Ukraine. So we're now more than seven months removed from Putin's regrettable incursion into eastern Ukraine and Crimea, but despite that elapsed time and the various developments since then, the U.S.'s formal position on the conflict has changed markedly little. The overly simplified and Manichean position, in other words, Manichean,

I would call it Hegelian, just two options, essentially, is, in short, Ukrainian maximalism. Putin is evil. Zelensky is noble. And here's the big logical leap. The U.S. will thus support the Ukrainian effort to retake every square inch of territory in the Donbass and Crimea from its nuclear-armed adversary, no matter the cost to the U.S. taxpayer. And regardless of whether it brings us into a direct war, even a nuclear war.

At this stage in the war, virtually all of the pablum is asinine and counterproductive to the actual U.S. national interest in these contested areas. Our national interest in the Ukrainian theater is not coterminous with Zelensky's absolutist stance. Our interest is for de-escalation, detente, peace. But if we want to achieve those ends, especially as a threat of nuclear warfare is bursting out in the open, many in the West double down on calls for Ukraine's ascension to NATO. And the war-hungry Zelensky is himself calling for NATO-led preemptive nuclear strikes against Russia.

This is the insanity of where we are here. And if we don't understand how we got to this point, we're not going to be able to pull this back. You know, we had, as a matter of fact, I mentioned this on Saturday. We have identified, however, who the terrorists were. Uh, we know now that the bridge was taken down by Sam Hyde. This is the guy. Every time there's a shooting, every time there's a terrorist attack, this comedian,

people will put up some kind of an ID for Sam Hyde. And they pulled in Adam Kinzinger. He bought the idea that some variation of Sam Hyde's name was the ghost of Kiev, if you remember that. And, of course, he's also been identified, Sam Hyde has been identified as a person who took out the pipeline. And so, yeah, it's, this is the world that we live in here. It is a Sam Hyde world.

We just hope that there is going to be a place for us to hide, especially from the people like John Bolton, who I didn't have time to get to today. Boy, he is pushing for nuclear war. He wants to kill Julian Assange and all the rest of this stuff. What an amazingly evil person. Thanks for listening. The Common Man The common man. They created common core to dumb down our children.
