As the clock strikes 13, it's Thursday, the 11th of January, year of our Lord, 2024. Well, today we're going to take a look at the, uh, what is going on with SEC and Wall Street. I'll take a quick look at the hack. They continue to dream up risky derivatives

and other tools to rob and enslave us like this natural asset company scam I talked about yesterday, where they're going to lock up all the natural resources, and they're going to lock us into 15-minute smart cities that they've been planning, since openly planning, since the late 1990s. And yet, there is a referendum in Texas, as part of the GOP primary, to have Texas not only legal tender for gold, but to allow people to write checks on it from the depository that they've set up. This will be very important if this happens. A lot of states are trying to get this type of thing in. So we're going to take a look at that hope. We'll also take a look at the ridiculous political show as it gets more and more absurd every day.

We'll be right back. I hesitated at the beginning of the show because we've got these issues. I'm looking at my sheet here that's got the different clips on it. And the date is 11 of November 24. We've gotten the wrong month. Travis has gotten the wrong year in terms of thumbnails on bit shooting and everything. We're having a difficult time with this calendar this year. Maybe it's the Biden brain fog or something.

But now, fake news is what worries the World Economic Forum the most. And we're going to begin with that because even though the political primary season kicks off with the Iowa caucus on Monday, what is going on with the World Economic Forum is, quite frankly, far more threatening than even these politicians who will be marching in lockstep to the World Economic Forum, if it's regardless of who these people are. You've seen evidence, the fact that they're buying into this. Oh, we don't like those globalists, they tell the Republicans. And yet, take a look at what they do, not what they say. This is really about the censorship. Every attendee, as the Technocracy editor says,

every attendee of Davos meeting should expect to receive marching orders to kill free speech in 2024. As the World Economic Forum points out in their publication online, they said, we're going to have a tremendous number of elections this year and we have to control them. And that's how they're going to do it with free speech. Now, they raise the alarm and say artificial intelligence is now available to the masses and that's why we got to shut down their free speech because they're going to be lying to you as if the people in charge have never used ai and bots and massive armies of people and propagandists and the press to lie to you of Of course, they always do. They say the spread of AI-driven misinformation

has become the biggest and the most urgent risk for global business leaders, as UK voters are expected to take to the polls as the general election this year. A new study has revealed, they said, the reality is that they will be using artificial intelligence to lie, and they will also be using artificial intelligence to censor people. Censorship is going to go rampant this year. And what they're not even talking about in these

articles is how the censorship is going to spread to podcasts. This is a very new aspect of it. One of the reasons why podcasts are what most people listen to is because that's not been censored yet but that's about to change a climate change leading to extreme weather events remains the biggest concern for the world economic forum they said in their annual survey they take an annual survey of 1400 global risk experts oh you know the experts who are these people, are they telling the world economic forum, what they know they want to hear, they don't make any bones about what they want to hear. Uh, do they really believe this or is the world economic forum using a push poll?

And, um, this is kind of like, uh, asking a highly partisan question of one of the two political parties in the united states they know what the answer is going to be and of course they don't want to allow anybody to question their climate alarmism again that's uh their climate alarmism and censorship are the two biggest issues on the World Economic Forum, and they go hand-in-hand with each other. They go on to say, AI, artificial intelligence, is expected to fuel the spread of false news and the rise of deep fake videos appearing on social media, and that'll be for government as well.

So you've just got to listen to those sources. Meanwhile, climate change remains a mammoth concern. Isn't that an interesting choice of words? Mammoth concern. That's where they like to start. We used to have this ice age, and look at all the global warming that's going on here. What was it that killed the mammoths if they had? Anyway, for business leaders, with extreme weather events viewed as the most severe risk over the next decade. Now, the most severe risk over the next decade are the types of financial tricks and games

to rob each and every one of us of everything that we've been talking about for the last several days. And if they can lock up all of our natural resources, this is what stakeholder capitalism is. We now see it. You want to know what stakeholder capitalism looks like and see it you want to know what stakeholder capitalism looks like and how it's going to work look at the natural asset companies where they're going to say well we've been given this fiefdom to control this national park or this

government property it's one of the reasons why you shouldn't have government property that was what the bundy Ranch thing was about. That was the first time I'd ever asked to go on an assignment because I understood the principles involved in that. And the Bundys understood that as well. The government is not supposed to own property. The Constitution says they should have forts and ports, and that's it. They shouldn't own vast swaths of property. Every time some territory would join the Union before the Civil War,

before we completely changed our government, whenever a state would join the Union, then they would give the land to people. They would not have the government, which held it as a territory, would then give it to the people. But after the Civil War, they kept it. And we've been going down that path for a long time. Now, in terms of censorship, the American Psychological Association is out there whoring

themselves to the federal government. We need more federal funding so we can help you to curb misinformation. Yeah, it's like they're going to Uncle Sam, hey, you know, I know what you want, pay me. Back in 2021, the American Psychological Association took a $2 million grant from the CDC to push the COVID narratives, but that's just a small part of it. As I said over and over again, what Trump funded with the Ad Council, you know, the people who nag you that this is your brain on drugs and, you know,

only you can prevent forest fires and the rest of this stuff. They'd never had as big a campaign in terms of cash, not even close as they did for the covid thing trump gave them the ad council 250 million dollars you saw it manifest itself in so many different ways they were paying influencers on social media influencers on youtube they pay people like curtis chang who was a supposed theologian, I guess. I don't know. I don't think he ever even had a church. But he was bringing in other pastors like Robert Jeffress, this Trump sycophant.

And they were going over the talking points to tell people how you were to, you know, this is putting together stuff for other pastors to say, you know, when somebody asks you about the vaccine, you tell them they got to do it to love their neighbor. They need to trust authority. God has given us science. And so we should use it, all this kind of stuff. And where did those arguments come from?

Came from a Yale psychological study. And I talked about that in July of 2020. And if you go back and you look and his website is still up there, Curtis Chang, and it shows where he's funded. It gets a lot of money from the ad council from that $250 million. So they had all these different avenues out there. And, um, you know, the, the Yale study that came out in July of 2020 had all of these different talking points in there that you heard these people repeating. People like Robert Jeffries, people like Franklin Graham,

people like Al Mohler. They all repeated these things verbatim. Oh, the moonshot, moonshot example. A moonshot just shows what a wonderful accomplishment we can have if we really put our mind to it with science and that type of thing. Well, it was a lie as well as well just didn't kill millions of people tens of millions of people the apa is now clamoring for even more federal money as it declares psychology to be leading the way on fighting misinformation and i've said from the

very beginning the only science involved in this so-called pandemic was behavioral psychology that was the science that was applied. They said the scourge of misinformation clinicians are now having to treat patients who are subsumed in their words by conspiracy theories. In other words, people are not happy with this. They're doing their own investigation while institutions and communities are all allegedly suffering unspecified harm and so give us some money and we'll help you with this say

the psychiatrist to the government i think government's just doing just fine they've been working on psychological warfare mind war all the way you know publishing op-ed pieces about it back in the 1980s you had michael aquino, the Satanist, and his mind wars. They know exactly what they're doing. So, misinformation, they said, is getting messier and more important than ever. So, to position itself properly among those vying for funding and influence by exaggerating the threat posed by misinformation as a new phenomenon, this is the Daily Skeptic. APA actually

states that with the election in mind, fighting misinformation is, quote, one of the top trends facing the field of psychology in 2024. They also came up with some recommendations. First, shut up. Second, use trusted sources. So, don't repeat the misinformation use the trusted sources altogether they've got eight recommendations but we know what these look like we saw them back in july of 2020 collaborate with social media companies to understand and reduce the spread of harmful misinformation and practitioners they said should do this everywhere. We should do it in our labs.

We should do it in our communities. We should do it on our families. Well, when we look at the spread of misinformation and the phony claims about how they can't get their message out, let's look at the politics of this just a moment here. Remember the Tennessee Three, who actually led a large, violent insurrection at the Tennessee Capitol. They wanted to push gun control measures. And they had two Justins, two black guys, and a liberal woman from Knoxville who's now going to try to challenge Marcia Blackburn. These people just don't know when they're licked, do they? But they also think they're going to get gun control through.

And you've got, as I point out, a Mexican billionaire who lives in New York City has put together an organization. They call that the Tennessee 11. And they're going to try to push a gun control agenda here in Tennessee. Well, they're not going to get anything with the current elected officials. But one of the Tennessee Three said that he was silenced. Silenced, he said. And here's what he has to say. Remember, they took over the floor of the house, and they would not yield.

And they had a megaphone, and it went on pretty much all day. And this is after their mob broke through and started pushing and shoving legislators. And started pushing and shoving the state police who used their bodies as a shield for these guys. Nothing happened to them. Nothing happened to them at all. And to the credit of the state police, they didn't put on body armor. They didn't come out there with shields and clubs and tear gas and escalate things like they did at the, you know, January the 6th in Washington, D.C. They did everything right. And they did everything except right, except they didn't kick out the woman. But the other two guys are immediately reinstated.

So they need to think about how they're going to handle that the next time. But here's what he had to say. This is one of the Justins, Justin Pearson. To build a movement for justice rooted in love. And that means we're going to get knocked down sometimes. They're going to tell us to be quiet. They're going to try and pass these rigged rules tomorrow. But we are going to

continue to show up because we believe in democracy, because we believe in Tennessee, because we believe our best days are still ahead. So please keep showing up. Please keep staying engaged. And I promise you, as long as I got air in my lungs, as long as Oceana and her dog is with me, I'm going to use all the breath I've got to fight alongside you and to fight with you. Because you matter. Our kids matter. Our schools matter. Our state matters.

And we're not going to let any authoritarianism or dictatorship rule in this. Because this is who's house? Our house! Who's house? Our house! Who's house? Our house! Who's house?

Our house! Yeah, well, you know, a little bit of a clip there. You can kind of tell who this guy is. Whose house? Whose house? Whose house? Yeah, well, you know, a little bit of a clip there. You can kind of tell who this guy is. He's a rabble-rousing demagogue, and that's what he came from. You know, he was an activist and an organizer and all this other kind of stuff. And as they took over the statehouse, other people there said, hey, you got a grief, a grievance or something? You want to do something? You're a state legislator now. File a bill., but instead he claims that he was being silenced.

Well, the reality was tweeted out by one member of the state house. He claims that, uh, all, uh, he says all these rules, they got all these attempts to silence people, all these attempts to subvert democracy. When they were the ones who came in with a mob and shut down the proceedings, refused to yield, ignored all of the procedures and all of the rules, they ignored the rules. They're going to tell us to be quiet and try to pass these rigged rules to prevent speech. I tell you, you always see this projection from these people, especially on the left, projecting what they did onto other people.

And so Jody Barrett, who's a Republican here in Tennessee, said, you know how long these guys got to speak? He said the three of them spoke a combined seven hours and 16 minutes. Nobody shut their speech down, unfortunately. He said it's weird that the people who are whining about being silenced are three of

the top four members of the Tennessee General Assembly in terms of time spent speaking on the House floor. It's almost like nobody else can get a word in edgewise. That's especially true when they're standing there with a mob that is screaming and shouting and they've got a bullhorn. Nobody else could get a word in edgewise. And then he showed how much time they had spent.

So Pearson spoke for three hours and 43 minutes, that guy. He spoke the most of anybody, um, didn't have anything to say, but he spoke a long time. Justin Jones spoke for two hours and 12 minutes. Okay. So 132 minutes for that guy and,

um, uh, 223 minutes for the other guy. And then Gloria Johnson spoke for one hour and 29 minutes. Okay. So she's got 99 minutes. What was the fourth person? Well, that was, uh, William Lamberth, a Republican who spoke for 40 minutes.

So 223 minutes, 132 minutes, 99 minutes, and 40 minutes. So, who are they complaining about? They got away with it, too. The LAPD is planning to include private cameras and a 10,000-strong surveillance network. And I want you to think about the fact that the militarized police really began with their Gates LA police department back in the early nineties. Uh, it really was an aberration. As I've said, many times when Terry Gilliam did Brazil in 1984, nobody had SWAT team, things like that, you know, and, and, um, uh, I don't know exactly when daryl gates used it i know that in the early 90s

when they had the um uh the rodney king riots all right he didn't use his militarized police and swat teams and his uh armored vehicles and i think he didn't use that to bring peace and order except to protect the police departments and other government facilities. Everybody else is on their own. But they began doing that sometime in the 80s. It really wasn't something that was common at all, but it spread. And this is something that's going to spread as well. As I said when I brought in Brazil and Terry Gilliam's dark comedy about totalitarian government,

that was the way the thing began was this over-the-top raid, which now we see things that are much worse than that happening. So real-time surveillance center is going to utilize live feeds from home security cameras and then my question with us is uh they're going they're hoping to be able to have access to 10 000 private cameras the question is are they going to even bother to get permission or will they just go to amazon and say you know give us the ring feeds things like that uh we'll have to wait and see. But when we come back, we're going to talk, before we get into the pharmaceutical revelations that are coming out, and there's more revelations coming out every day with that, and we'll get into the horse race that's about to kick off.

When we come back, though, we'll take a look at what's going on with the SEC and the Bitcoin ETF and the hack of the Bitcoin ETF. There's been some fallout from that as well. So we will be right back. Whether you're feeling like the blues or bluegrass, APS Radio has you covered. Check out a wide variety of channels on our app at APSradio.com. Thank you. making sense common again you're listening to The David Knight Show. Well, they say that the lawmakers are out for blood after this hack of the SECX account, the Twitter account, caused a big pump and dump with Bitcoin.

And it's very interesting because, as I pointed out yesterday, seven years ago they had denied a Bitcoin ETF, and then some things happened that made it clear that it looked like they were going to approve it. And yesterday was a deadline and somebody got a hold of their Twitter account, their X account, and said it's been approved. And they came back with an egg on their face and said it wasn't. And so then you had this rash of people criticizing Musk and saying, look at what a dumpster fire Twitter has become and all the rest of this it turns out that they didn't do two-factor authentication on the sec account

but they didn't want to put a phone number in there where somebody's going to get called so they just dispensed with that and their account got hacked it wasn't uh anybody's fault but their own. At 4.11 p.m. on January the 9th, the post was published to the SEC's X account, announcing the approval of spot Bitcoin ETFs, a type of financial product that would allow people to invest in the crypto asset through a regular brokerage firm instead of going through Coinbase or some crypto thing like that. By 4.26 p.m., it took them 15 minutes the sec chair gary gensler had issued a retraction said the agency's account had been compromised and that an unauthorized tweet was posted but the damage has been done and so the sec might be tasked and this is the interesting thing

with investigating itself that's what the government always does. Oh, I find that I did nothing wrong. You can expect over market manipulation, but since it's classified as a commodity, still in the United States, it comes under the jurisdiction of the U S commodities and futures trading

commission, the CFTC. And then there's also the Department of Justice. It's going to be, you could say if it was a real investigation, it would be a circular firing squad. But no, they're not going to do anything with this. The former chief operating officer at the Commodities and Futures Trading thinks that the idea of commodities regulator investigating the securities

regulator is unprecedented. There is no manual for this. And the Commodities Futures Trading Commission said it has enforcement authority with respect to any alleged manipulation of Bitcoin, but it declined to confirm whether it would investigate this instance. In the minutes after the fake post was published, the price of Bitcoin jumped about 2.5% and then fell below 2.5% of its original price.

Altogether, it led to a $40 billion swing. So I wonder who benefited from this. X said that an unidentified individual had used a phone number tied to their account to seize control because they did not have two-factor authentication enabled. And then, of course, they said an alphabet soup of investigations is likely to ensue, according to John Stark. Let me suggest they won't do anything.

Did they do anything when the uh when the dobbs decision was leaked the one that scalia wrote about overturning roe v wade somebody a very few number of people who had access to it somebody leaked that i've said all along and i still stand by it i think it was john roberts who is the most highly respected of all of them according to a poll we were told. Again, I don't know if I believe any of these polls. I guess maybe I'm just an outlier, but I look at these polls and I think maybe somebody's got an agenda they're trying to push with these polls sometimes. But no, based on, I'm not going to go into it, but I said before, you know, based on how he acted and what he had to say and other things, I believe that it was him.

And of course, they never did investigate that. Never. So according to a guy who served as an attorney for 18 years with the SEC, he said it will likely involve separate inquiries, the SEC itself, the U.S. Department of Justice, which will focus on trying to identify the hacker. But then as they point out, perhaps it was somebody who was an intern there. Maybe it's an inside job. Maybe since they approved it the next day, since they approved it yesterday, maybe they had this thing all set up to go and somebody hit send too early. Who knows?

So X replied, Twitter, we can confirm that the account was compromised and we've completed a preliminary investigation. Based on our investigation, the compromise was not due to any breach of X's systems, but rather due to an unidentified individual obtaining control over a phone number associated with a government account through a third party. We can also confirm that the account did not have two-factor authentication. We encourage all users to enable this level of security. Nevertheless, the journalists continued to say it was all Elon Musk's fault. I'm sure that's what the investigation will find, don't you think?

Zero Head says, one wonders if it was even really compromised or if it was just an intern accidentally hitting send on a post. They said, if this was indeed, same said James Seifert. And he said, if this was indeed a compromise of the account, the person who compromised the account screwed up. Could have made a lot more money tweeting about the bitcoin etf being denied because everybody believed that it was going to be approved so he could have shorted it uh so again what was the if somebody was smart enough to do all that why didn't they take it the other direction and then with just in a few hours after all that they had the sec say that today the sec grants approval for the bitcoin etfs are listing all registered national security exchanges and there's more than a dozen applications for people to do

what is essentially another one of these derivatives and um i used to uh um put my ira in a gold etf until i realized the issues with these paper derivatives that are out there by the way i see a comment here from uh mark on rumble since i mentioned the natural asset companies and what a scam they are and how this pulls all this control. You know, give the control to, and the New York Stock Exchange is a partner in the scam along with the Rockefeller Foundation and so forth. And the SEC is about to approve it. January the 18th is when they say they're going to announce their decision. So make sure you speak up about this.

Not much time. And it may make a difference if you speak up. But also, don't just write to the SEC. In yesterday's interview that we had with Courtney Turner, we had the links there where you could see the comments linked to where you could comment yourself. But also, send a short little thing just talking about how opposed you are and how dangerous it is or something like that. Just, you may want to use some of their arguments to try to define it for your

congressional representative or your state representatives, because they may not know a lot of the stuff they don't know about. And they're slow to catch on as a matter. I didn't know about this until just recently. But Mark says NACs were discussed on the big local area radio station yesterday. So said word is getting out rapidly. Well, we need to get this word out rapidly. What they will do again is to take all natural resources, land, farmland, private, public, water, all these different things.

And they will give control of it to a company. And that company will then be able to earn money off of it. What an amazing scam. You know, because of climate. They'll be good stewards of it by locking it up and locking it down and making it off limits to everybody, which is what the UN has declared they wanted to do in the 21st century anyway. And this is how these people with their stakeholder capitalism get paid.

If it's public land that is turned over to them by a government, they will put 50% of it into a public trust, but they'll keep 50% of the money. And what did they put into it? Nothing. What are they doing with it? Nothing. Are they managing it no they're managing to keep you off of it and having any use of it locking it up locking it

down and this kind of public private partnership to steal everything from us and then to limit us into their mega cities. That's always been the plan. And here's the financial mechanism. This is how they get paid. They finally revealed it. And again, this was reported on by Forbes quietly. Most people didn't pick it up two years ago.

But it's just now that the SEC is making its ruling on whether or not this is going to be allowed, that people are starting to talk about it. Hackers have gotten sensitive data from 200 U.S. police departments, again, in another major security breach. The group that has done this has done this before. It's a very radical left-wing group. Trannies are involved in it and the rest of the stuff. And they have done this before as part of their blue leaks uh the group is uh calls itself um let's see where is it here's ddos

uh they want to yeah ddo secrets right kind of like a denial of service type of thing but they call it ddos uh s ddo secrets distributed denial of secrets is what they're saying and uh so the leak files do not reveal any significant police misconduct instead they primarily consist of emails and internal memos that show how police departments and the fbi have monitored protests across the u.s especially those that followed the death of George Floyd. They also revealed that law enforcement agencies, including the FBI, have been actively monitoring social media accounts. Well, I think that's wrongdoing.

I think that's significant wrongdoing. And of course, it also has data from the fusion centers, which are set up to do that type of thing. Part of the police state was ushered in after 9-11, the fusion centers. It was the fusion centers in 2009 after the 2008 election, as I mentioned many times before, that told them, be on the lookout for sovereign citizens. How do you spot these sovereign citizens? Well, they might likely have a bumper sticker supporting ron paul or chuck baldwin who ran as the

constitution party candidate the year before highly politicized police state and so uh they this um distributed denial of secrets says that it plans to act as a publisher of leaked information like wiki leaks while maintaining the anonymity of the hackers involved and alleges that it plans to act as a publisher of leaked information like WikiLeaks while maintaining the anonymity of the hackers involved and alleges that it was not involved in the actual data exfiltration. You know, we go back to the Pentagon Papers and the same people, amazingly enough, the same people who did movies about the Washington Post and the New York Times and the Hollywood establishment,

did a movie about, I forget what it was called, talking about the Pentagon Papers and doing it from the perspective of the discussions that were going on within the Washington Post and New York Times. Can we publish those papers? And they charged Daniel Ellsberg, who they charged him with stealing them. But the Supreme Court said, no, you can't charge the papers for publishing them. And that was the principle under which all journalism has been going. They realized that that would shut down the free press. But in the last couple of years, they've overturned that.

And a big part of the overturning of that was to come after Julian Assange. Who came after Julian Assange? Bill Barr. Bill Barr, Donald Trump's attorney general. Bill Barr, who was the attorney general for George H.W. Bush. Bill Barr, who was the right-hand man of George H.W. Bush when he rebuilt the CIA after the church hearings really kind of devastated their reputation and some of their capabilities. The two of them rebuilt it. So you understand where Bill Barr is coming from. He wants to kill Julian Assange because he wants to kill anybody knowing any government secrets, like war crimes that are committed.

And so to come after Julian Assange, they maintained the, I believe, fiction that he was involved in the hacking. To get around this, they will probably do something like that to denial, the distributed denial of secrets people um and so um because already we see that um on x that account has now been suspended and disappeared when we come back we're going to talk about um trump allies demanding accountability for fci, but completely ignoring Trump. I was so encouraged to see somebody, this is a real clear politics reporter, that was his headline. It's like, finally, finally, somebody else is talking about this. The hypocrisy of the Republicans holding a hearing and grilling

Fauci, as they should, but never, ever involving Trump. People who had just endorsed Trump coming after Fauci for the evil that was done. Who was it that put him on the podium? Who was it that kept him there? Who was it that gave him medals? We're going to talk about that when we come back. Before we leave, on Rockfin, Stephen Patterson, thank you very much. That's very kind. He said, I chucked you $100 yesterday. Here's another one.

He says, you're decent. Thanks. Well, thank you, Stephen. I appreciate that very much. We're going to take a quick break. We'll be right back. If you like the Eagles, the cars, and Huey Lewis and the News, very much. We're going to take a quick break. We'll be right back. Thank you. You're listening to The David Knight Show. Here's the headline trump allies demand accountability from fauci not the former

president thank you philip wegman of real clear politics thank you for doing this i am so sick and tired of watching this blatant hypocrisy uh these hypocrites and the Trump commercial, hitting DeSantis for following his own orders, for doing what Trump was bribing everybody to do. You know, DeSantis' entire popularity was based on the fact that he opened it up more quickly. So what does Trump do? He comes after him and tries to make him look like he was the lockdown king. No, you were the one who was the lockdown King Trump.

Uh, the, the responsibility ends with you. The buck stops at the president's desk. The highest guy responsible for this stuff. Uh, he's responsible for everything that Fauci did. And he also financed everything that all these governors did, Democrat and Republican. This delusion is so incredibly strong. It's insane. They remain silent, however, about Donald Trump, the former president who stood by the

architect of the lockdown strategy. They were so eager, he said, to cross-examine Fauci. It's time for Dr. Fauci to confront the facts and address the numerous controversies that have arisen during and after the pandemic, said Ohio Republican Brad Winstrup. I think it's time for you guys to confront what DeWine did. He was one of the leaders in this, and he was a Republican. That's the other thing I used to hear from people. Oh, well, it's not Trump, and it's not even the Republican governors.

It's just the Democrat governors. Yeah, it's not only Trump. It's also these GOP hypocrites who act as if they didn't know. Seriously, you didn't know until just now? And what are you going to do about it nothing you're going to hold these show hearings and they got nothing from fauci they just want to show that um somehow that they're on our side you know when uh desantis and b Brian Kemp were starting to open up in April, after Trump had done an executive order to lock us down two weeks earlier,

two weeks to flatten the curve, they started opening up. He said, I strongly disagree with this. He is still saying that the lockdown closure saved lives. He's still saying that his poison saved millions of people, although he has killed tens of millions of people. That's the truth. Nine Republicans sit on the subcommittee. All of them love to loathe Fauci.

Four of them have already endorsed Trump for this reelection, including Marjorie Taylor Greene, who has publicly said that the doctor should be in jail. Well, that's kind of interesting because, you know, when I go to the Daily Skeptic, they have had this at the top of their website for quite some time. And I looked at that the other day and I, you know, I thought it was funny. And at first I didn't think it was a real thing.

I thought it was just the Daily skeptic making a political commentary, but it's a game called whack. And it's got some very crudely drawn, you know, game characters there. Trump with the blonde hair and the red tie Fauci with a mask, a hypodermic needle, I guess in his hand and a big hypodermic needle.

And it's called whack. It says stop Fauci and Trump escaping from prison. So I clicked on it and this is what it looks like. This is the game and this is legit. You know, Google Play, bring this thing up for 99 cents. You can buy whack and you can shoot Fauci and Trump in their jail cell. I'm tempted to buy it. But of course, they all want to put Trump in jail, as Marjorie Taylor Greene says.

But they will not even mention or they won't put Fauci in jail. They won't even mention Trump. Fauci was the face of the White House COVID task force, says Philip Wegman in his article here, and he's right. But Trump stood at his side. As I said before, Trump put him on the podium. Trump made him president. Occasionally, even grousing about him publicly on Twitter, that Trump did, but in the end, Trump still awarded Fauci a presidential commendation for his work.

Wegwin's got it all the way down the line, he understands. And he did on the final day, even though the MAGA crowds and the few rallies that they had right before the election, they're begging him to fire fauci well i don't know we'll see maybe we'll see didn't do it gave him a medal on the last day he said um the focus on the decisions that fauci made and not on the president who empowered him has exasperated rivals like desantis who said are we going to have some type of accountability here he asked in a recent interview with again real clear politics he

said are we going to have a reckoning for this or are we just going to act like everyone did such a great job yeah that's what we're going to do. And all these Republicans, they just now finding it out. And, you know, so they'll have a show trial, but they will still do nothing about it. Still nothing about it. To keep it from happening again. Representative Debbie Lesko of Arizona, John Joyce of Pennsylvania, Ronnie Jackson of Texas will also get a chance to cross-examine Fauci. Each of them has criticized the doctor. All of them still endorsed Trump who presided over this during his tenure.

And none of them returned real clear politics request for comment. Lusko, as a matter of fact, said of Fauci, he will once again, I'm sorry, of Trump. Trump, she said, will once again put America and Americans first. And a statement two days after Christmas to announce her endorsement of Trump, who oversaw Fauci as he prescribed lockdowns and mask mandates on the White House podium. Yeah, it's President Trump. You're not spelling it right when you refer to him as the former president. He's the former president. He said these kinds of things. Never in my life would I have believed that they would get away with doing lockdowns in America.

That's the kind of passive slave mentality that is pervasive now. And how effective their misinformation, their censorship, their propaganda has been and will be even more so as they continue to add new technological capability with artificial intelligence. And it's why I say these natural asset companies are so dangerous. You look at the scam in the sky, who would ever fall for that? The American public will fall for anything and everything. If you look at what happened and it truly was unprecedented and, and it was a crime,

the likes of which we've never seen in America before, but nobody wants to hold Trump responsible. Why? Why won't they do it? Because the only thing they care about is themselves. You know, Chris Christie's dropped out and he said that about Trump. He said, you know, I've known Trump for a long time and I can tell you if it comes to a situation where America's interests do not coincide with his. He will go with his interests. Guess what? I watched Chris Christie do that too. I watched Trump do that.

I watched Chris Christie. I watched all the Democrats and all the Republicans and all the president's men do that for the last several years. And they're still putting their interests ahead of the interests of the country when they endorsed the guy that did this stuff to us. He will not put America first. He will put himself first, just as he did with all the J6ers. Everything that he did. Ahead of Fauci's testimony Monday, the Arizona Republican retweeted a post from the subcommittee calling for serious answers. It's time for serious answers, she said.

Serious answers from Fauci, not Trump. Yeah, again, you know. Stop them from escaping from prison, please. Will somebody tell the truth? Put them in prison, uh, Scott Atlas, who was appointed in that summer. I present Trump. He was somebody who was telling the truth about some of these measures, talking about how they were garbage and nonsense.

And he was opposed by everybody else on the committee, but he had this to say about Trump who appointed him, he said for an executive who's widely known for being able to fire people, uh, he said it was shocking that this president allowed the incompetence of the nation's task force advisors to continue. Uh, so, um, the, uh, it's the, when he allows it to continue, right, he's complicit with it. He's approving what Fauci did. And he did it over and over again. But he tells a different story.

Trump said last summer, he said he insisted that he once listened to Fauci, but, quote, whatever he said, I did the opposite. Liar. You liar. Full-faced lying Trump. He said he wasn't allowed to fire him. Fauci wasn't a big player, he said, in my administration anyway. Liar.

Unbelievable. You had him doing daily briefs and giving him the podium while he was doing these extraordinary, unlawful, unconstitutional things to people. Pressed by Megyn Kelly on why he awarded Fauci a presidential commendation. Trump pled ignorance. I don't know who gave him the commendation. I really don't know who gave him the commendation. Someone probably handed him a commendation. Philip Mugman of Real Clear Politics writes, multiple former Trump officials found that answer far-fetched,

and they have publicly said that any type of commendation would require a signature from the president. Liar again. You lying New York liberal crony friend of the Clintons and Epstein and all the rest of these people. And they bow down and worship this guy with a kind of idolatry I've not seen before with anybody, including Obama. Regarding the suggestion that Fauci be fired, however, several former officials told Real Clear Politics, that's easier said than done. You can't fire these people.

Why not? He's president, right? Why can't he fire them? He can. But here's the reason they said they couldn't. They said the COVID task force had a, quote, resignation pact, unquote. If one person was fired, they would all resign. Is that a problem? Everything they were doing was wrong and we knew it.

Get rid of all of them. And by the way, isn't that a conspiracy? Aren't they breathing together on this whole thing? Aren't they blackmailing you? Get rid of us and it's going to be a big PR problem for you. Oh, well, because Trump is thinking about himself, thinking about his image. He doesn't care about all the mom-and-pop mainstream businesses

that he destroyed and lives that he destroyed. And the dangerous martial law precedent that he set. Atlas was the only dissenting voice from the group. He could have easily appointed, let them all resign and we got some new people. Just that simple. No. Atlas called for a different strategy and that strategy was not adopted by the Trump-Fauci COVID committee.

But Scott Atlas's different strategy was adopted by DeSantis. And it caused him, as Philip Wegman points out, that's why he rose to national prominence. It's for that very reason. Which makes it so incredibly hypocritical for Trump to try to portray him then. Of course, it's exactly what you'd expect a demagogue like Trump to do, to lie about him, to portray him in exactly the opposite way, to take his strength and to try to turn it into a weakness. DeSantis rose to national prominence largely because of how he handled the pandemic

he regularly railed against fauciism on the campaign trail and still does nevertheless he's lagging behind trump by double digits in each of the early primary states according to real clear politics average poll and you know he didn't just rise to national prominence. He rose to international prominence. It's one of the reasons why when you daily skeptic in the UK was very excited when DeSantis did it because they had been covering what DeSantis are doing in terms of taking the lead. Again, I would have liked to have seen more done. I would have liked to have seen it done earlier. But he was still leading the pack in terms of pulling it back. And he's still saying that it was wrong.

And so daily skeptic was, um, very excited when he ran. And as you can see from this ad at the top, they are no fan of Trump and they understand that it was a Trump Fauci scam. The only person missing in jail there is Klaus Schwab because they were marching in lockstep to what the UN and the WHO and the World Economic Forum all wanted. The 21st century, said DeSantis. He said, the 21st century, the three biggest events, number one, 9-11 and the wars that followed,

number two, the Great Recession, and number three, COVID. He said, and the third one has a broader impact than the other two events combined and yet here we are and we're not even discussing that unless we lie about it unless we misdirect people away from trump and to fauci and then unless we misdirect people away from the vaccine and to the Wuhan lab, it's always this red herring approach. Same thing that Hillary Clinton did. You know, when she was creating this document dump as a part of their probably payoff schemes and making it available to everybody at Clintonemails.com, she gets caught doing that and what does she do?

Russia, Russia, Russia. A red herring to distract everybody from what she had done. And, of course, this is what the politicians always do. You know, the interesting thing is that when DeSantis talks about the three big issues, 9-11, the Great Recession, and then this so-called pandemic. That pandemic and 9-11 began at the same time. Two shoes. One of them dropped in 2001, the other one dropped in 2020,

and the one that dropped in 2020, bigger than the other ones because they worked on it and rehearsed it and practiced it and laid the legal foundation for 20 years for that to happen. He goes on to say Trump's compounding legal troubles and his vow to deliver retribution upon his enemies also seems to overshadow any questions of accountability concerning his handling of the so-called pandemic. I put in the so-called stuff. He's not questioning the pandemic. He's questioning Trump, and he's questioning the Republicans' response to it.

But again, notice that the revenge aspect is not just Trump's self-interest. Well, I don't want to fire Fauci because what a PR problem I would have if all of them quit on me. They would say, I was killing everybody. I don't want that fight. His interest, his self-interest. And now it's about his revenge and everybody is on board with him. All the Republicans living vicariously through this guy.

The Trump campaign said a spokesman. He said anybody who is a spokesman for the campaign said anybody criticizing Trump's handling of COVID couldn't manage a little league baseball team, let alone manage a global pandemic crisis caused by China. Well, you can manage to lie, can't you? Trump campaign spokesperson. Who is the name? Who it is? how about this instead of trying to manage us could maybe you manage following the constitution and the rule of law instead of overthrowing it all with medical martial law how about that what if we did that

and i think it's really telling that again he shifts the blame to china you know let's not talk about trump's lockdown let's not talk about Trump's vaccine. Let's talk about Wuhan and China. You know, the problem is that when he tries to push it to China, Rand Paul and these other Republicans are not coordinated on this memo because they're trying to make it about the Wuhan lab with Fauci. And so if you want to make it about China, the uncomfortable truth for Trump, if that were the problem and it's not the problem,

but if that were the truth, if that was a problem, then the reality is, is that Fauci and his department funded it. They're the ones who ultimately created it there. So even that doesn't really add up. But don't expect any Republicans, especially the ones out there giving money to Trump and voting for him, don't expect them to understand that. Look, it's not the president's job to manage a pandemic like this. There's no authority

under the Constitution for him to make health decisions for people. There's no authority under the Constitution for him to make health decisions for people. There's no authority under the Constitution for these public health organizations to exist at the federal level. They shouldn't make these arguments. There's no authority under the Constitution for the president to give tens of billions of dollars to these pharmaceutical companies to develop an experimental vaccine, mRNA technology, and then deliver it with the military? Where does he get the authority for any of that stuff?

Why don't you try to manage staying within the bounds of your office and the Constitution? What a pathetic excuse. He has, he knows that this is a president who's out there funding drugs and telling people through Fauci, they've got to lock down, they got to wear masks, they got to keep distant from each other. He doesn't know anything about health. He doesn't know anything about the Constitution or care about the Constitution. Quite frankly, he doesn't know anything or care anything about our public health either. An epic failure. And yet, when he completely ignores the Constitution, liberty, and the law, we have Victor Davis Hanson, historian, going on Tucker Carlson just before Christmas saying,

this lawfare against Trump is a pivotal moment for U.S. And it could be the end of democracy. Let me tell you, uh, the lawfare that's going on against Trump is wrong, but it pales in comparison to the lawfare that Trump ran against us. This color of law warfare against us. He didn't have the authority to do any of this stuff. And he law, warfare against us. He didn't have the authority to do any of this stuff. And he went to war with us. Sanctions are an act of war. And everything that he did was a sanction.

And then, of course, he created the rest of this stuff. And when you want to talk about the end of democracy, let me tell you when democracy ended. We've got an exact date, Friday the 13th, March, Friday the 13th, 2020. That's when democracy ended. We've got an exact date. Friday the 13th, March, Friday the 13th, 2020. That's when democracy ended. That's when the elections were made a moot point. Who cares? If the president can turn this all over to some CDC flacky like Fauci or NIH flack

like Fauci, if flak like Fauci, if he can turn it over to some bureaucrat and let them destroy this country, if he can then spend trillions of dollars and everybody goes along with it, we don't have a democracy. We were ruled by a bureaucracy. Democracy ended a long time ago.

We've got taxation without representation, regulation without representation, lockdown without representation, vaccination without representation or authority, creating these vaccines, mandating them for people. We don't have a democracy. This is a clown show and it's not a clown show because they finally came after Trump.

These criminals, these thieves who have stolen our country from us. There's no honor among thieves and they're after each other now. You know, they'll work together for a long time to keep other people off the ballot. And yeah, let's just keep this little thing between the two families here, the two crime families. So let's just work together to keep this thing going. And then after a while, one of them makes a move. No, there will only be one. It's like Highlander, right?

We'll work together for a while. But ultimately, even though we're partners to fight these other people, eventually it's going to come down to you and me, and we're going to fight this thing out. That's where we are right now. We're at the final stages of this stuff. Don't talk to me about lawfare after 2020. Don't talk to me about the end of democracy after 2020.

There's not even any reason to vote for these people in Washington. They have absolutely no interest in the rule of law. It's all ended by executive order. So let's get back to the vaccine. Daily Skeptic had an interesting comment. Take a look at this woman who is the chief scientist who created, we see Albert Borle all the time. He's the face of Pfizer.

But she's really the face of vaccines. Look at this as she is doing this interview. And as they pull back and they talk to her, she's obviously got Bell's palsy. Now they're selling the idea they've got a vaccine that's going to cure cancer. They got a vaccine for depopulation. Sterilization and murdering people. And biology has so many secrets, and you only find out about them when you enter this unknown territory on which we have been navigating since three decades now. Yeah, yeah yeah yeah yeah well you know three decades ago

um she uh did not have that Bell's palsy thing and they began the story of tele skeptic we all know the Hans Christian Anderson story the emperor's new clothes uh maybe we should change it to uh the emperor's new presidential term. That's what we're on right now, right? Who's going to, besides Philip Wegman and myself, who's going to point out that this emperor Trump has no clothes? And I'm not talking about the Epstein tapes. I'm talking about the naked tyranny that we lived under in 2020. The emperor who parades stark naked through the Epstein mansion. No, I'm sorry.

In front of his subjects, but no one dares mention it. The much celebrated Turkish German co-creator of the Pfizer vaccine, whose face has been featured in the New York Times, on the BBC, and innumerable other international media, who clearly suffers from partial face paralysis. A widely reported side effect of the drug but nobody dare mention it the facial paralysis or the bell's policy palsy is for instance flagrantly obvious in that interview that i just played for you they said

it is more or less obvious in all the video and still images of her including the somewhat iconic new york times photo that they show in the article pull that down and show that so why does nobody talk about this they said well reports of partial facial paralysis following inoculation with a pfizer biointake vaccine are so widespread that the adverse reaction has become a veritable meme. Justin Bieber famously announced that he was suffering from the disorder in June 2022 after his shot. A case report of Bell's palsy following inoculation with a vaccine can be consulted. They have a link to it. The FDA's December 2020 briefing document on the drug contains the following curious passage, acknowledging four cases of Bell's palsy in the clinical trial all of them in the vaccine group so why is she a victim of her

own drug daily skeptic says well the answer to that question is definitely no for earlier images of her show that she was already suffering from facial paralysis several years before the development and the rollout of the COVID vaccine. However, to a lesser extent, they say, could she, however, have somewhat developed the disorder in connection with her laboratory work to develop it? Well, we don't know, they said. But you can see from a photo they have right there in the 1990s that as a younger woman, she had no trace of facial paralysis. Look, it's not even just this one. There she is there as a young woman. It's not just this vaccine. It's a characteristic of a lot of vaccines.

I've known people who've had this. As a matter of fact, back in the early 1980s, friends of ours who got married, and she got the vaccines to travel abroad and meet his family. He was from England. And so they got married, and then they're going to go on their honeymoon to the UK. And the vaccine caused her to have Bell's palsy. Fortunately for her, it was temporary. But she says, they go over there and she's got to meet all the relatives and her face

is like hanging down. But and I've noticed that with many people that I've known. And that is something that has been around for a very long time with all of these vaccines. But getting back to Fauci, as these truth seekers, these Republican Congress critters who don't want to talk about Trump and they don't want to take back any of the usurped power that he gave to people like Fauci, They questioned him, and he said he didn't recall over 100 times in closed-door testimony. So, you know, we look at this and the bell's palsy there. I wonder, does Fauci have brain fog from his COVID shots?

Of course, you know, he probably didn't get any COVID shots. I think he knows better than to do that. So I don't think it was his brain fog, but we could always ask the question. I think it's the brain fog of the Republican lying politicians and the people who support them. The face of our nation's response to the world's worst public health crisis does not recall key details about either the origins of COVID-19 or his pandemic error policies, E-R-R-O-R. House Coronavirus Select Subcommittee Chairman Brad Winstrip of Ohio said in a statement Monday night. He said the potentially preventable pandemic ultimately resulted in the deaths of nearly 1.2 million Americans, said the Ohio Republican.

Do you see how deep he is into this lie still? It didn't kill 1.2 million people. Trump's medical murder protocol killed people. It was not a preventable pandemic. It wasn't a pandemic at all. And it should have all been prevented if they would have followed the law. But they all decided otherwise. And the fact that you got the House Coronavirus Subcommittee is still selling all of these lies

under a Republican majority, under Republicans who are running this stuff. And all they do is the same stuff that Rand Paul did. They're going to hold a show trial where they yell and scream at Fauci. And then over on the other side of the Capitol building, they have a show trial where they yell and scream at Hunter Biden and they don't do anything about anything. Or they yell and scream at Mallorca for the border. It's just unbelievable to see this country. And you're not going to get any help in Washington. You're not going to get anything changed. Look at Speaker Johnson and what he's become.

You know, the conservative Republicans, who, by the way, are still covering for Trump, like Marjorie Taylor Greene, still covering for him with this lockdown and everything. But they got upset with him because when he does the budget bill with Chuck Schumer, he is back to $60 billion for the IRS, which is what McCarthy had negotiated. And they call it massive cuts in the Republican press.

I look at this stuff and it's like, how are people fooled by this stuff? Biden wanted an $80 billion increase. Kevin McCarthy said, I saved $20 billion. And now Johnson is saying the same thing as Speaker. But the reality is, is that you're looking at a situation where Biden wanted to, you know, the current total budget of the IRS is $13 billion. So you had Biden who wanted to increase it by more than sevenfold. Kevin McCarthy, and now Johnson Johnson want to increase it only five and a half times. Good for them. And they call that a cut?

You increase the size of the IRS by five and a half times and you have the audacity to call this a cut? And the media says, he's pulled in massive cuts. What a great speaker he is. No different than McCarthy. And they lie to you about something like that. You better believe they're going to lie to you about partnering people to do mass murder. Of course they're going to lie about that. They're just as guilty as Trump is.

And they're still supporting everything that he did and pretending that none of this happened. Fauci admits under these hearings that the COVID six foot social distancing guidelines lacked any scientific basis. Well, of course it was all made up nonsense and it lacks the basis. By the way, pull up that article and that, that classic picture of Fauci setting in an empty stadium where he tells everybody they can't go.

And he's got his mask down and laughing while the other two people got their mask up. Yeah. Cloth mask too, by the way. That's what Fauci's got on. The other two people can't tell. But, you know, where did this come from? They said Fauci confessed to lawmakers on Tuesday that the six foot distancing, which again, he's not wearing a mask. He's not six foot distance in this thing here.

It was not based on scientific data. Well, then it's not science, is it? If you don't have data, if you're afraid to show the data, if you don't want to put a study up, we're not even haven't even begun the scientific process. You know, if you put your you got a conclusion about something, you've done some experiments or some tests or you've measured something, you put the data up there, you give people your conclusions and people look at it and they question your data and they question your conclusions and you have a debate about that. That's science.

Fauci is the antithesis of science. All of this. He conceded that the guidelines, quote, sort of just appeared, unquote. That's what he said. They sort of just appeared. Well, let me help him on that. Because there were many studies that happened at the same time. They said, you know, 14 years before we did this superstitious rule, you know, it's like,

don't step on a crack, you'll break your mother's back. You got to stay six feet apart and all the rest of the stuff. It was a high school student's science project in Albuquerque, New Mexico, that kicked this off. 14 years, they said, before. And actually, it was a little bit more than that. It's like 15 years before that. She did this science project. And her father worked for the Los Alamos labs. I think is the one that's there in New Mexico.

And, um, um, she won a science contest, you know, for this. And she came up with that six foot number. And then she gets a call from Homeland security director,

Chertoff at the time. And 2005 is on Halloween, 2005. How appropriate. Hey, we could do masks as well. You know, he gets a call from her that she gets a call from him and she gets to go to Washington and explain it.

And lo and behold, they roll that into this plan that they prepared for 20 years. Again, dark winter, two months before 9-11, the false flag, anthrax attack one week later, and then the model legislation for all the states to do exactly what they did 20 years later, and then practice that thing every year, locking everybody down, rushing a vaccine. And then in 2005, Chertoff and these other people put through with the Bush administration. They created the PrEP Act, which created a whole new level of protection for the mass murder that they were going to do with the vaccines. The PrEP Act. That was done at the same time.

So in 2005, the PrEP Act, they call them this high school girl. That becomes the basis for them doing their six-foot social distancing and everything and all the rest of it. We know where all this stuff came from and we know that it was all made up uh it is uh no question about um its uh origins and i know no questions about it like the origin of the bat soup and all the rest of this stuff. So again, Fauci says the six foot social distancing is not likely not based on data. Well, then it's not science. And none of this stuff was based on data,

including the vaccine that Trump is so proud of not doing the tests, but it's not going away. When we look at what happened in Japan with the earthquake, right? You got buildings knocked down and people having to sleep out in the open and you have elderly people who are sleeping out in the open during winter and they're required to wear masks in order to reduce the COVID risk. This just happened.

This is why it is so horrific that these Republicans won't do anything, anything to pull any of this stuff back. Instead, they'll try to score cheap political points by going after despised figures and frauds like Fauci, but they're just as big a fraud. Just as big. The FDA commissioner, by the way, is now promoting off-label use of drugs. Wait a minute.

Wasn't that what all the ivermectin stuff and the HCQ stuff was about? Ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine have been used for many decades, 50, 60, 70 years, and they knew what the safety profile of it was. And it's always been allowed for people, once they know the safety profile, if you want to have it for an off-label use, say, well, we can try it for that.

There's, you know, because we've already looked at the safety profile of it. So maybe it works, maybe it doesn't. But, you know, we know how hard they came down on ivermectin and HCQ. And now these hypocrites again. Now, this is hypocrites on the Democrat side. During his first stint as FDA commissioner during the Obama administration, Dr. Robert Califf proposed allowing companies to advertise their products off-label. And that kicked off a lot of anger from the Democrats, people like Senator Markey out of Massachusetts.

And so when Biden becomes president, he decides to bring this same guy back. And as soon as he comes back, he starts pushing off-label promotion again. And his critics are taking a pass on this. And what is he promoting off-label? Well, he's promoting COVID vaccines for kids. That's off-label. Why? Well, because they have not tested its efficacy or the rest of the stuff or safety for kids are testing. Listen to this. Promoting the COVID vaccines for children to use against long COVID.

Boy, is this twisted like a pretzel or what? We all know that long COVID was this thing they made up to excuse away the symptoms of their vaccine. And as we see now, the people who are suffering from long COVID, they say, yeah, we can see these spikes still in your system. And there was never any reason to give them to kids at all. And so now they're saying, well, kids who have got long covid should get more of the vaccine in order to get rid of that symptom truly amazing and then the adjuvants aluminum adjuvants in it this article from children's health defense aluminum adjuvants used in these COVID vaccines may increase risk of serious respiratory disease. They said, you know, a very low amount of this is making serious

respiratory illness after exposure to new virus strains. Well, I thought we were told that there really wasn't much in terms of adjuvants at all because this is the trump vaccine very weak attenuated classic viruses with a very low amount of adjuvant in it very low amount sugar water for folks yeah sugar water a little bit of a attenuated you know microwaved or radiated covid deal absolutely that's why trump is taking control of the process yeah there you go trump's saving us right very low amount of adjuvant nothing to worry about it's just sugar water it's just going to irritate your immune system a little bit now maybe you'll

get long-term immune disease but you know probably not because this is trump's vaccine nothing bad's going to come from trump, right? Well, a disabled vet started noticing everybody around him dying suddenly. And so he started doing some research. Steve Conley, a disabled Iraq war combat veteran and recovering alcoholic in Massachusetts, was horrified by the number of deaths amongst his friends and Alcoholics Anonymous meetings starting in 2021 as they're rolling out the Trump shots. Experts said that he made an astonishing data discovery that corroborated the work that's been done by Ed Dowd and Pierre Corey on vaccine-induced excess deaths in all 50 states.

So again, he's going to these AA meetings and he starts seeing this in 2021. He is a 61-year-old disabled vet, a retired social worker who cared for the most severe and violent mentally ill patients in Massachusetts where he worked. He said the formerly routine AA meetings became scenes of more suffering and carnage than he had seen in war amongst the worst of the worst in mental hospitals as well. So he'd worked in mental hospitals, he'd been at war, but he said, this is even more horrific. Here's what he saw. He said, in all my time, I've never seen this many people that I know drop dead in this short span of time, not in, even. This is a war against us. It began with sanctions and it expanded to poisonings. Vern was in his 70s, a friend of his, Vern, relatively healthy and stable, Conley said. He was coughing on a Sunday, dead on Monday. Big Rob was in his 30s, a little obese, and he died from myocarditis. Allie was in her 30s, a heavy girl but healthy. She got the jab, then had serious gallbladder issues and had

it removed. She was found dead when she didn't show up for work. A physician who was in the Alcoholics Anonymous group, known as Dr. Michael, debatednelly about the jab he said i tried to explain it to him but he didn't believe me two weeks later he got the booster he died from a heart attack a few days later then they killed my friend and then i started to investigate he said hey you know it's just sugar water that's all it is sugar water uh so children's health defense, he told them the defender, he said, is driven by anger,

by pain over the unexplained scourge of deaths around him. He poured over thousands and thousands and thousands of obituaries, he said, and discovered that deaths reported as quote, suddenly or unexpectedly on legacy.com where they have obituaries right so he'd go this public source everybody posting up their obituaries and that's where he looked at it he said it soared more than 62 across the u.s after the rollout of the vaccines now scroll that up where people can see it. Look at those two spikes.

And they're in 2021 and 2022. And then, thankfully, now with 2023, it came back down to normal, to the baseline. But it was huge. Essentially doubled. But they said 62% looks from the graph almost as if it doubled. His data trove, assembled with the help of a Massachusetts systems engineer and vaccine death investigator, John Baudoin Sr., matches to a remarkable degree the unprecedented rise in U.S. excess deaths and disabilities in government data reported by former BlackRock hedge fund manager

Edward Dowd, and also by Dr. Pierre Corey and others, said Corey. So we see this how many different times and how many different ways do we have to see this? We've seen it from insurance company data. We've seen it from obituaries. We've seen it from funeral home profits and all the rest of the stuff. The excess death. All of it beginning in the third quarter of 2021, timed with a rollout of the Trump shots and the lies and mandates of Biden.

An embalmer survey in 2023. This is from Steve Kirsch. He said over 75% are still seeing these novel white fibrous clots. These clots were never seen before COVID, he said. And the COVID vaccines and the CDC isn't at all interested in investigating. After all, it's only in around 20% of the cases for about 600,000 Americans. It's no big deal, right? That's rare, right? Only 20%. americans it's no big deal right that's a rare right only 20 well they said nearly 80 of the

embalmers surveyed reporting seeing these and um he said again just like we saw with um the died suddenly so the good news is that in 2023 just 20 of the cases had these novel clots, down from 30% of them in 2022. It seems highly likely, he says in summary, that these cases are caused by the COVID vaccines. 20% of deaths is roughly about 600,000 Americans a year from the Trump sugar water. And then I mentioned this the other day briefly. Dr. Pierre Corey has an article up on Brownstone talking about how a whistleblower went through and did a freedom of information request in New York County, Westchester County, New York. and they wanted to see how many times they had the phrase vaccine in their ems messaging system and what they found said dr cory he says as difficult as it is at this point to further

distress me with data on the toxicity of this stuff and the lethality of the MRNA platform. He said, this data set still managed to further distress me and surprise him. He said, the issue of course is not new. We've seen a lot of information about this from the informed consent network. They did a four request from the CDC found that 7.9% of all 10 million vaccine recipients reported requiring medical care to treat a vaccine adverse effect of those requiring medical care.

About 11%, 87,700 people had to go to the emergency room or hospital. Why doesn't this stop this? Again, when we talk about the Boeing 737 MAX or whatever, can you imagine if we'd had 87,700 people after they flew on a Boeing 737 MAX had to go to the emergency room, check in there? What would they do? Would they just dismiss it and keep flying that plane?

Of course not. Why is this treated this way? Well, it really tells us something about the corruption in our government. There was an increase of more than 25% of the number of ambulance calls in response to cardiac arrests and acute coronary syndromes for young people in the 16 to 39 age group between this COVID vaccine rollout in Israel, where Netanyahu used his own people as

lab rats. And then, um, this anecdote on social media, which I wonder if this is a handy that we know I'm a paramedic in the greater Atlanta area. He said, I wish they would use our EMS nine 11 data like Israel did. We're seeing exactly the same scenario here with one difference. Cardiac related calls are now overwhelmingly young males, 18 to 30 years old, typically early morning. We arrive at a suburban home only to find the entire family in severe distress. This is what we hear.

Save my baby. Over and over, we find these young people, these young men, still in their beds, dead. Most appear to be sudden cardiac deaths. We are obligated to ask, was he recently vaccinated? To which the reply is always, yes. I was an army medic, yet I've never seen such carnage as we are currently experiencing. The Israel study is the strongest signal for the data I've seen yet. For God's sake, stop the shots.

But for Trump's sake, they won't. For Pfizer's sake, they won't. For the global depopulation agenda, they won't. This is anti-God. To me, the most shocking discovery, said Pierre Corey, I made when reviewing the documents is that I found evidence of five different occasions where calls were made to the Westchester County EMS dispatch to have the ambulances on standby. And this is being done by vaccine clinics, and it shows up in the records here.

We will be administering the COVID vaccine today to 220 people. Please be ready to stand by and come. And as I said before, I talked about this. It was big news in the alternative media when we had a nurse who was a um there's an interview i did with a nurse who was in pediatric uh icu unit and um pre-born right pre um premature babies and so they have these premature babies and they had their formula that you know after certain number of days after birth or whatever even if they being treated, they're going to give them the shots. But they knew that with the premature babies,

they were so immature, so underdeveloped, that it was going to put them into an emergency situation. So she said, we would do it by schedule. And we would call the intensive care unit and tell them, get ready, we've got some babies who are coming. And they would do it anyway. Why would they do that? That was before the COVID shots. Because the medical system for years has been captured by the drug companies, especially the vaccine stuff. And they will religiously follow that timing schedule without any regard to the health of the patient.

They knowingly did that. They knew that was going to happen, and they did that. And isn't that disgusting? And isn't that disgusting? And isn't it disgusting that somebody like Alex Jones, who had that on his own platform, would lie to you? It's like going to the parents and saying, well, we're going to vaccinate all the preemies today. Don't worry.

It's like sugar water. It's like sugar water. It's great. We do it all the time to kids. And then you go and inject them and they die. You know, it was necessary to have both Biden and Trump. It was necessary to have one guy roll it out and another guy administer it.

Wasn't it? You had to do it that way. It had to be bipartisan. If everything had been, you know, if Trump had created the vaccine and rolled it out, I guarantee you that the Democrats would have used that against him. But by having a bipartisan cooperation in all of this, everybody covers for everybody else. You're going to have some despicable people like Fauci or despicable people like Trump that are going to be focused on and criticized for things that they do, but they're not going to change anything. You have the abrasive characters that

are going to be singled out and focused on, but they're really not going to change anything it was essential for this whole process to be bipartisan so they could cover it up it was essential for it to be bipartisan so they could deflect the blame to the other guy which is what I see all the time from these Trump supporters. We're going to be right back. We're going to have Tony Ardaban is going to join us, and we're talking about some of these financial issues that are in front of us. Stay with us. We'll be right back.

And joining us now is Tony Ardaman of Wise Wolf Gold.

And Tony has been a big supporter of this program for a long time. He set up DavidKnight.Gold, so he knows if you're coming from us. And I want to talk to you. We've got a lot of economic issues that are happening right now. We've got budget deals. We've got massive inflation. But it's all fixed now isn't it tony we're not to worry about we got the soft landing that's coming in um but we still haven't landed we've still and as we look around it looks like the door's blown off on side of the plane doesn't it for you for you and i thought that was a that

alaskan airlines flight that's a pretty good analogy for what's happening to the Western economy in general. But hey, but now, David, we have a Bitcoin ETF. Everything's fine. Now you can get BlackRock to buy your Bitcoin for you. I am so confused by the interest in this. And I understand that a lot of the crypto traders and people say, we'll go into fiat and we'll get into the system. It'll become normalized. I'm thinking, well, that's the last place you want to go, but okay.

Then, you know, we'll, we'll, we'll, we'll go ahead and let this ride. Yeah. And I've seen an article, one person saying, well, I think that, um, uh, one bank, uh, and now an analyst at one bank says, uh, he thinks a Bitcoin is going to hit $200,000 after the CTF approval. Uh, I don't know. i've seen a lot of volatility i don't like volatility uh on something that i've invested in it's like a seems to me like it's kind of like a crapshoot which is everything that's in the stock market and once you roll the bitcoin stuff into etfs and make a derivative out of it and then trade it on the gambling floor. I don't know

whether that's a good thing or not. My favorite part of the whole thing was the dissent of the SEC board and the holdouts that didn't want this to happen. And they're mostly on the left. And they believe that Bitcoin finances terrorism, that it's used for criminality and money laundering. And I think it's nothing. It's nothing compared to what the US dollar is. Are you paying attention? And of course, they know that, but it just really exposes the establishment's love and lust for unlimited fiat currency. And I'm a fan of Bitcoin. I mean, that's not what I do primarily, but I started buying Bitcoin when it was $380 back in 2016, putting it in my Bitcoin ATM. So I know a little bit about it. And I think right now we're going through a phase where it's,

there's going to be a lot of interest peak now because of the ETFs, but it really isn't the point of it. I think that's the funny part about the whole thing is that it's a, it's a completely different system, but you're still, still interested in what the fiat banking system thinks about it. I'm not. I'm looking at parallel economies and what we do moving forward away from this. Yeah, they're saying, yeah, we're going to get institutional money in, as you point out. You're looking at these institutions that are failing and corrupt.

And that was the thing. I didn't read what the left said about it, but that was the big uh question mark in my mind about it's like we've been uh we had this campaign from elizabeth warren we got to destroy all crypto the competitors to our cbdc right now and yet you know they on the sec they they approved this again you know it really kind of surprised me but you might even look at this and saying so are they trying to sabotage it like they did with their derivatives in the real estate market? You know, real estate is good stuff, but look what they did with their derivatives. Is that what they're going to do to Bitcoin now with these

derivatives? I'm not real. For the dot-com bubble. Yeah, exactly. Are you sabotaging it? That's a great question. It's an open question. Or maybe it's just because there's an inevitability of cryptocurrency in the face of what's happened globally i mentioned uh maybe on your show last week on my show i mean it's 52 times more currency today in the world than there was in 1980. all right that's a that's a bubble of all bubbles something we've never seen before and it's going to crash yeah i was uh talking to you off air about the the swiss national bank there's a systemic banking crisis on the horizon for 2024 and beyond. I think we've seen that last year with Silicon Valley Bank and First Republic.

But the Swiss National Bank, two years in a row. Now, again, this is Switzerland where you go for a banking safe haven. The Swiss lost money at the Swiss National bank level two years in a row, but they made money on one thing. And that's the gold they purchased that they have in their holdings. And that is a little bit ironic, but that's what we're seeing around the world is that, you know, these central banks are buying gold, but the fiat currency system is imploding and they're all moving away at different systems and especially you know again unfortunately right here the u.s dollar uh is on its way out and it's not going to happen tomorrow but we're

seeing the uh the signs and of course uh you know inflation they're telling us inflation's been licked now uh because of the election not because of any data and uh you And you see the data from Chick-fil-A. Prices increased 21% in two years. But that's not even the worst of it. Take a look at what you see at the grocery store and other things. And they can manipulate the price of stuff like fuel. And they can do that temporarily for the election. But we know what the trend is for the longest time. We know that Biden does want to destroy it for the long term.

But they're going to profit from it in the short term, and they're going to use it to profit in terms of politics in the short term. When we, I don't know, of course, inflation, I think they're going to do everything they can to pull every manipulation they can this last year, but it still remains, this next year, this election year, but it still remains to be seen if they can really do anything about it or if it's going to blow up in their face. Well, these financial products that we are so ubiquitous today, 401ks, IRAs, just the amount of advertising that you see to open up a stock buying account, all these things, in my opinion, were put in place after 1971. So you wouldn't pay attention to the fact

that your dollar buys less and less every single year the purchasing power is diminishing and yeah the the inflation rate they always peg it it's a seven percent it's eight percent we're getting it we have now they have the uh what jerome powell referred to as the terminal rate which i've i think that's more apropos uh to what've done. But you have to think math isn't political. Math just is. It exists outside of the realm of what you believe. You know, it just it just is going to reinforce reality. And I think that's what happened with, you know, in the last three or four years, you have 80 percent of all the dollars ever created in history in the United States history made in the last 48 months.

And that's going to create inflation. It's an inflation of the money supply. ever created in history, in the United States history, made in the last 48 months. And that's going to create inflation. It's an inflation of the money supply, and that makes the cost of goods go up. And of course, you don't even factor in a lot of these retailers like Chick-fil-A. It's not just the rising cost of goods, but you have to recalculate what your profit margins are. That's a whole other, that's an entirely different calculation, because when the prices increase, guess what else increases? your profit margins are. That's a whole other, that's an entirely different calculation because when the price is increased, guess what else increases? Fees, credit card fees. Most consumers don't know the entity that makes the most at your gas pump. It's not the gasoline retailer.

It's the credit card company. The credit card company makes more per gallon than the person who owns the store. Yeah. Oh yeah. I promise you that it's $3 a gallon. That's 3 cents on every, that's 9 cents a gallon that goes to chase Manhattan or it goes to black rock. Okay. That doesn't go to the person who owns the convenience store. So you add those fees in. So there's all sorts of hidden fees in anytime the prices increase, and I will tell you something, folks, if the big banks thought inflation was a problem for them, then they would be talking about fighting inflation and wanting to do something about monetary policy and budget policy. But they don't. They like higher prices. They make more. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah. We had our

you had the experience of having been involved with a gas station. You know what those margins are in our retail operation, the, the credit card fees are just crushing, you know, and there really wasn't anything that we could do about it. You know, as everybody would move to a plastic, you know, that's another reason to, um, to use cash is to cut out these, um, big credit card companies and big banks that are working on ways of how they can debank us and and take our money steal our money from us you're feeding those evil institutions that are out there and it'd be better for you to feed the local businesses that you're dealing with and then also keep your anonymity but it's just the convenience of the credit card for the consumer and that's uh the way this thing has been going. You know, there's Mike, Michael Mahari, who is with the 10th Amendment Center. I've interviewed him many times, but of course, he also talks about gold. He said there's three things that have been driving a bull market in gold into the new year.

He said there's the demand factor, the Fed factor, the January factor. He said, as far as demand goes, he um gold has been up 13 this last year and that's what you're talking about in terms of the one thing they're making money in switzerland with but he said there's also the january factor and the fact is that gold makes these big price increases in january for the most part it goes up have you noticed that? I do. And Michael's right about that. I read that article on the Wise Wolf Golden Crypto show on Monday, and I think

he's spot on. I follow his work. He's now over at Money Metals. Smart guy. And I think he's right about historically and about January. There was a couple of asterisks there that I think it was 2012 or a couple of different years that didn there that I think it is 2012 or a couple of different years that that didn't happen but we're seeing a bump and I think you know right now gold's

trading a little under 2030 dollars uh per troy ounce um but we're in a lull right now there's been a lot of profit taking but um it doesn't I don't think it takes a psychic or anybody with any sort of uh skills to look into the future and say that gold's going to break its all-time high again in 2024. I think the horse is out of the barn. You look at what happened in the last quarter of 2023, and I think that's nothing compared to where we're going. There's been a lot of delayed reaction too, David. This is something I study every single day, and it's in my business. It's my life.

And I remember back in 2020, when gold hit its all-time high, before that, there was a lot of reports coming out in major financial institutions. They don't talk about this anymore, but they were just throwing out easily gold at 3,000. This was like Citibank and other major uh corporations and banking institutions that was kind of put to bed because there was i think again gold is an enemy of the federal reserve gold is an enemy to the fiat banking system the more that the price when you see the price of it go up then there's something wrong with the cur the currency and so i think they constantly try to keep that in balance and those wheels are coming off is because the brics nations and these other nations like we're just talking about the swiss they want to see their gold holdings go up and if the pricing model is tagged

to what the west has now which has been for decades it seems odd like what what is happening why don't these prices move especially with the loss of purchasing power? I think we're seeing the beginnings of what the reset is actually going to look like. And the price of gold will go up. I'm not giving you investment advice. Let me make that clear. It's not an investment. The price isn't really going up. It's just your dollars losing purchasing power.

That's right. Yeah. And, you know, we're talking about Michael Meharry and his big interests are gold and the Tenth Amendment, you know, trying to get power away from Washington. And we talk about that inherent competition between the Federal Reserve and gold in general. It's very interesting to see what's happening in Texas. You've got a primary coming up in March. And so they put a lot of ballot ballot initiatives on uh in the primary and that can come in from the uh the grass kind of the grassroots republicans but they're still involved in the political party but it's

fairly large and so they've pushed in some things like um you know the texas secession that's one of them that they keep putting in there but they've had in the past things like um uh you know a a ballot amendment for the primary to show the republican support for protecting kids from transmutilation stuff for example and those have frequently found their way into legislation by the republicans because it's a republican state heavily republican and if they see that there's a lot of support on these particular issues at the primary level, there's a chance that they'll put it in and enact that policy. And so they've been able to get a ballot proposition onto the Texas Republican primary that'll be in March that would have the Texas government use the comptroller's office to start a program to quote, administer access to gold and silver through the Texas bullion depository for use as legal tender.

And, and we're seeing this happening as you know, and as I've talked about in the past, we're seeing this happen in a lot of different States here in Tennessee, we've got Senator Nicely and some others who have been working on trying to get a, first they called it a state bank, and the local banks thought that might be competition to them. So he wisely renamed it a Tennessee Reserve System to get them to understand that this is something to get away from the central control of the Federal Reserve. And then also to set up a depository like Texas has. They're the only ones who have that right now. But the real issue is going to be if you can deposit and keep gold there and then write checks on it, that'll be an interesting move. And it'll have consequences, I think, if the first state that does it, it's going to be

a breakthrough. And I think a lot of other states are poised on this and talking about it. I think they'll probably follow through on that as well. What do you think about that? How is that going to affect this competition between the Federal Reserve and the states who are trying to pull power away from it? Well, if you recall, I think it was about mid-2023, the Texas legislature was also considering a digital gold currency that would be run by the state of Texas I'm all for states exploring this and having bullion Banks I think you need to be cautious when you're talking about the state running anything that would resemble a currency

I don't know that I like that I don't think that's needed but if there's a way for the state to at least enforce that gold and silver are legal tender, I think that's great. This is part of the decentralization process. But I think if you put it to a vote, just looking at Costco, David, looking at Walmart, we know that they're selling gold bars and they're running out. The public is hungry for something different. They want some stability. And gold and silver always been a safe haven. I think people are starting to pay attention again, especially when you're

talking about, Hey, you're, it hits you where it hurts, it hits you where your chicken sandwich, you know, your chicken sandwich went up 25%. People start paying attention eventually. And, uh, my dollar is starting to look like a waffle fry, you know, it's got all these holes in it shrink inflation you're like well there's not enough uh chips in my bag of chips anymore all that stuff that hits people and they're starting to pay attention so i think this will be part of our it's part of our future

it needs to happen on a state by state basis branding you know legal tender status to gold and silver even even throwing things like bitcoin there's some states that allow you to even use some of your crypto to pay for property taxes. I think Ohio does that. There's a couple of states that do that. I think this is important, especially moving into the future. What you have to be cautious about and what you mentioned is creating another fractional reserve banking system out of the state this can this this get agreed always creeps in i don't trust politicians uh i was on a ballot in texas uh about was it 10 years ago or so so i was i in that same primary ballot was one where they uh you could uh vote to initiate the texas secession they actually had something on there it was like a preliminary test model uh and i think there's any kind of ballot again this year texas secession well those that's growing to see you know 10 years ago when i ran for congress in texas even

in like deep east texas when i when i would say we need to end the fed people didn't know what i was talking about but now they do so this is like i was this was, you know, Ron Paul's book in the Fed. I was on that. That was part of my plank, like right up there on the top of my campaign website is auditing and ending the federal reserve. I wanted to audit. I want to figure out where the money went and I want to, you know, create a new sound money system. And I think that was a little bit over people's heads at the time, not everybody, but right now that would be a huge thing like if you were and you don't see many people doing that but i think that will be part of the future too is that and i think that's the key thing i think what you're saying is people's awareness of the federal system you know federal

reserve system and that's really what's behind the the thing to call it a tennessee reserve so it's not like they're going to set up some kind of a fiat currency fractional reserve system thing here. But they're saying, you know, for the small banks, the way it's worked in North Dakota, they have far more small banks and local banks there than they do anywhere else. And so it's a move to try to decentralize and keep competitive the financial situation. So, you know, it's cutting some loans and things like that and kind of backing up the loans with them on some of the things that that type of thing. But I think, you know, regardless of the details, and of course, the devil's are in devil is in the details on these bills, you know, the the Texas thing. But what it shows is that there's a tremendous amount of awareness of the untrustworthiness of the fiat currency and that there's a lot of demand at the grassroots level to try to move to something that is legitimate like gold.

That's constitutional money, you know, and so there's an effort to try to get away from the central, centrally controlled, corrupt, manipulating financial system, trying to get back to honest money, and that's at a grassroots level. I think that's the big takeaway. I don't know what the details are in the proposal. And again, you would have to see what they actually proposed if they do something in the legislature, and the details would be very important. But what we can see right now is this grassroots demand to get away from

this corrupt centrally controlled system and i think that's really what's driving all these efforts whether you're talking about florida oklahoma or texas or tennessee is to get away from this federal reserve control well it gives me a little bit of joy you have to realize that somewhere a bankster is uh has a lot of anxiety over this simulation they're like wait wait that wasn't supposed to happen it's uh they're supposed to beg for the to be biometrically scanned and give up all their data and their freedom for this central bank digital currency this cbdc they're still going to implement it they're still i mean this is still we're on the path for central bank digital currency but will it when it lands will it be

inert that's the question if enough of us and the grassroots and the states continue to make give you out you know outs to give you a way out of it or a parallel system then it's toothless yeah and i think that's that that should be the goal it's not that we can completely stop the central bank digital currency because they're going to implement it. I mean, you're talking about BIS, the Bank of International Settlements, IMF. This is coming from the top down. They're going to do something with it. But if we continue to see this trend, which I'm very excited about, I think, you know, again, it may even hurt my business. I don't I don't know. some of it may hurt me i don't care i think freedom and liberty are the most important things i want to you know this is this is our legacy is what we fight for so i i like the fact that you know go make gold legal legal tender make silver legal tender you know and i think people would rather trade in that once you become familiar with it david once you know once people start using gold and silver on a daily basis or to trade amongst themselves, then you won't use dollars. They've made big steps along those ways.

We have a lot of states that have taken off capital gains tax on the sale of gold and silver and things like that so that they're not treating it as a commodity. And so that helps to facilitate people being able to use it to, you know, in private exchanges to, to buy and sell stuff. And so we're seeing these, these steps being taken. And I think that awareness of, you know,

all these different things, regardless of, of, you know, how they might ultimately work out. It really shows us that people are aware of the dangers of this centralization. And you,

you were talking about how, how sensitive they are to criticism of the dangers of this centralization and uh you you're talking about how um how sensitive they are to criticism of the federal reserve it's just this week that i realized that uh when it's a wonderful life came out the fbi was putting out uh and it's been publicized by a lot of people how much they hated that movie they called it a communist movie they started investigating people that were involved in it as well was like, well, that explains a lot of the censorship that I've seen with that one report. Because, you know, just to criticize bankers, not even the Federal Reserve, but just to criticize bankers in general. Oh, well, then you are a communist if you don't like Mr. Potter. And they created this guy as a villain.

And, you know, the FBI is not interested in what he did with the money that he stole from this. That's grand larceny, especially in those days. Eight thousand dollars. And I think it was more than he quoted for the price of the house. He said, you know, George, you can have like a five thousand dollar house or something. So, you know, there's a substantial amount of money even today, but especially back then. But they're not worried about that crime. The crime that they saw in all of it was criticizing bankers. That's what we are.

Those alphabet agencies, you know, the alphabet agencies have a long history of connections to international banking. Even go back to the founding of the Central Intelligence Agency, you'll see a lot of connections. There's a reason why in 2019, the last quarter of 2019, you saw the largest exodus of CEOs in history. You're telling me that multinational corporations and finance don't have connections to intelligence? Yeah. Give me a break. There was an article by the Mises Institute, kind of in that same line of logic, about the Secret Service and their history as an enforcer of the fiat currency system.

They actually had some stronger language to it. But there's an article that's up on Zero Hedge. I think they call them a Gestapo. And I was reading over the article before we went live, and I said, I knew that. I had read that before. There's a lot of criminality in the banking system. I mean, there was a meme being shared, and I hate to debunk it, but there was a meme being shared and i hate to debunk it but there was a meme i liked a lot it showed a a a kilogram bar of gold okay so 32.13 ounces of gold and it said 10 of these in 1920 would buy you a house it would buy you the average house and then it says 10 of

these and in 2024 will buy you the average house, it's supposed to be a 10 ounce bar. Sorry, I had recalculated it, but they're exactly right. You know, so the crime, again, they were right about the premise was right, but it's too much gold. It's basically, you need 10, you know, of the bars will be 200,000

instead of the, they had like 600,000. That's not the median price of a home. Yeah. But the premise is right. And so the crime is in that meme. Think of the they had like 600 000 that's not the medium price of a home yeah but but the premise is right so the crime is in that meme think of the crime of that like you how much wealth was stolen when they decouple the dollar from gold when they they take the silver out of our coinage how much crime is in that i mean it's it's massive you you've you've created a completely new class of people that are going to be dependent on government.

That's what they've done. They've made the American dream so far out of reach. I was reading, was it 10% of investors in America own 97% of the stock? Wow. Wow. That wealth disparity, that's because of our fiat system. And you look at, you know, the Federal Reserve and then, of course, also Wall Street, which is why it concerns me so much, this natural asset company thing. Right. fiat currency and, you know, wave their hands and make this happen. And okay, this kind of derivative thing over here, you know, that they're perfectly capable of doing something like this natural asset company where they, you know, you look at

the presidents, especially Trump, his metric of success was always what's going on with the stock market. You know, he wasn't, and when you look at what Biden is doing with jobs created, it turns out that about two thirds of his jobs that were created, they now admit were not there at all. But we always see that being done. They always come out and manipulate the unemployment figures a couple, a quarter or two down the road so that they can create a new trend, right? They come first, they put stuff out and say, look at all the different jobs that we created, even though they didn't create them.

And then next quarter or two quarters down, they revise those previous numbers so they can make this quarter's numbers look better. That is a trick that they have always done, just like this whole thing going on with this deal that's gotten some of the conservatives upset with Johnson about them saying that they had massive cuts to the IRS. Republicans achieved massive IRS funding cuts in the spending agreement, says Daily Caller. Well, they didn't cut anything at all. They cut the proposed increase, but they made it five and a half times bigger. So these types of lies, that's why I think the inflation stuff,

even though they say that they're going to pull out all the stops for the election and appear to be trying to do that, I don't think they're going to make any dent on this at all, really. No. And it reminds me a lot of, remember John Kerry? What was it, the 2004 election? And it was $87 billion that was in a defense budget, and he was for it before he was against it kind of thing.

And that's the way Trump ran against the stock market. I remember this. He said, it's a bubble. It's based on nothing. We've got to audit the Fed. There's so much debt. And then he was elected, and that was all about his presidency. It was all about how wonderful the stock market was.

And I remember, if you've paid attention to history at all, you're going to look at the stock market and these numbers. I opened up Wise Wolf in 2018. I was down in San Antonio. I had Fox Business on every day. And, of course, I'm completely inoculated against it. It doesn't affect me. So I'm just watching it just kind of as intel. And I'm thinking, this isn't going to last. This is fake. And, but I would see the prices of metals were

down. I mean, gold was, you know, $1,200 an ounce, 1,100 an ounce at some times. And you know, that's that, that is so dirt cheap. And I would look at just with the price of the dollar index and everything else at silver, I was buying American Eagles at $16. I mean, that just seems like a quaint time. But where'd all that so-called wealth go? You know, it's all fake. And yet they're going to have, they've got, you know, three lowering of rates in 2024. They got more planned for 2025. Are they even going to, I don't know that that, can they plan monetary policy anymore

that far out, David? I don't think they can i don't know that the even the so-called experts really understand the implications of doing what has been done to the dollar not only through the expansion the money supply but through our arrogance and the sanctions what we've done to weaponize the dollar that blowback that is happening and it's happening it doesn't just you know overnight all these nations rise up and start dumping the dollar it's just you know gradually and then suddenly and that's i think that's what we're seeing yeah yeah it is true and and the the ability to create these uh these fake um illusions of of wealth here

and then remove them that's why when i look at these things like this Bitcoin ETF, like the natural asset companies and all the rest of the stuff, it's like, I just don't want to participate in this fraudulent fantasy football league, you know, that they've got going. And that's what it looks like increasingly to me. It's just, it's like, there's nothing real about it, but they can make it really miserable for you. They can manipulate even something like real estate. You know, once they get people leveraged into that, they can really do a rope-a-dope and a pump-and-a-dump,

and they've got so many different tricks up their sleeve. And it really is concerning when I see something like this, you know, just this last week, looking at the great taking and looking at the natural asset companies. Well, I tell you, they've got some humongous schemes on the horizon, which makes me want to run to something that is private and something that I hold that retains its value all the more. That's why I think gold, I really don't have a problem telling people about what valuable and secure investment gold and silver are. It's just key, I think, to try to get out of these schemes. about what valuable and secure investment gold and silver are.

It's just key, I think, to try to get out of these schemes. Well, as a young soldier, the Army teaches you the motto is adapt and overcome. That's what I think that is our charge in these coming years, in this decade of the Great Reset, of Agenda agenda 2030 is adapt and overcome the old system that we're watching implode is not going to be there for you i'm sorry it's not the history if it's history is your guide if every fiat currency goes to zero and the united states dollar is the world's oldest living fiat currency okay since 1971 decoupled from gold the average lifespan is 26 years for living fiat currency. Okay. Since 1971, decoupled from gold, the average lifespan is 26 years for a fiat currency. We're 50 years plus on. Yeah. This isn't going to end well. And I would say, again, you have other countries transitioning away from the dollar system.

This is going to affect us on an individual level, how our economy operates. But you'll see, but the silver lining to all of it is like just what we've been talking about states decentralizing you see the bitcoin even though they're they're looking at the etfs and i find it silly but that's it's opening up new interest yeah i've got a comment here from amos pool and a tip thank you very much amos i appreciate that on rock fan he said i've heard with the bitcoin having and halving cutting it in half right in april and the uh likelihood of the sec approval of etf which has happened uh there will be a large rally in bitcoin and other cryptos so yeah that probably will i i think it will go up quite a bit it's just i look at it and i look at the the volatility and i've

i've and i'm old enough to have been in the stock market and had massive paper gains that then disappeared and then some. The volatility scares me. The virtual aspect of it is something that scares me. And when I look, but the thing more than the investments, I think, I get your comments on it, Tony, but more than the investments, it's just these manipulations with CBDC and the NAC and things like that. I just, I want to get out of that system. I want to get out of a digital system. I want to get out of a Wall Street system. I just don't want to participate in that.

That's just my personal thing. Well, I'm skeptical on so many fronts with this because first of all that's how you manipulate the price of silver and gold or through etfs through paper that's right okay so you're not actually holding bitcoin and who knows if they're going to have that we've talked about that did they really have that silver and gold in the shanghai exchange or are they uh using the shanghai exchange to shanghai the price of gold and silver yeah show, show me. I just wonder, counterparty risk, would you rather hold it?

Because right now I can buy Bitcoin. You can buy it pretty much anywhere. It's ubiquitous. Same thing with gold or silver. I don't have counterparty risk if I have that gold coin or bar or silver bar or if I have Bitcoin

and it's my own wallet not attached to an exchange. Let's just, again, this is just the beginning though. The crypto space was built, the cypher punks, the cryptographers back, whoever Satoshi Nakamoto was after the 2008, 2009 debacle, this is what Bitcoin was born out of that. And for 10 years, they've been trying to get this ETF pushed through. They finally got it. So I have mixed emotions on it. Fine.

But I'm looking at the new systems that are being created. It's actually exciting because there's so much more awareness now of what money is or what currency actually is. The two things sometimes go together, not they're not exactly the same all the time and so i think i think when you see people becoming more aware it's good um it's not going to be perfect but i think it's good that people are becoming more aware i think that bitcoin and crypto will rally uh you need to be skeptical though i'm not telling this is not i'm not in that space to make anything and you, you know, I think that there's, there's hope on it. I think there's, there's, it's a, it's a good space to be in.

It's exciting, but be very careful because there's going to be a lot of things. And I think they're counting on that too, by the way. I think they're counting on, uh, make, you know, something like an FTX moment where they say, well, we like the digital stuff, but what we really need is regulation. And the best way to regulate that is through the central bank. And here's your CBDs. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It is surprising to see them.

In a sense, you know, the community in general thought that they're going to approve the ETF thing, but it is surprising as much as, you know, the Democrats have hated, as you point out, to see that go through. I kind of thought, well, maybe they'll stop it because they've been at war with crypto all this last year. But again, tell us a little bit about what's going on at wisewolf.gold.

Well, a lot's going on. We've been securing product going into this first quarter. It's weird out there. The prices are strange. The premiums dropped a lot on silver so we're able to offer some lower prices right now on a lot of different items especially some of our 90 silver and other things that are pre-1965 u.s coinage but we've got a lot of exciting things the wolf pack is growing so i'm happy to see that uh you know anytime you join you can go through david knight dot gold and and put in promo code 1776 get you

some free constitutional silver uh which is going to be great in the the coming months and years when you know you've got a a silver dime they made fun of ron paul because he said he could get uh gasoline back down to a dime a gallon and he said actually silver dimes worth three dollars so it's something like that i think you're going to see in our new economy that's emerging after what the damage has been done to the dollar. So we've got the two locations, Branson, Missouri, and Denison, Texas. Both of them there are just bricks and mortar to serve the general public. If you're in those areas, we can take care of you there. Or you can go to DavidKnight.gold.

We serve nationwide. A lot of people right now, David, are rolling over their 401Ks and IRAs, getting into physical precious metals. That's something we can nationwide. A lot of people right now, David, are rolling over their 401ks and IRAs, getting into physical precious metals. That's something we can do. It's pretty seamless. We've done a lot of them now. We've made it a really quick process. We've got a great partner that does all the legal called New Direction Trust. They made stuff really easy. We can get in there and roll over your paper, but you got to be careful. All this, even your Bitcoin, you go on the ETFs and you buy ETFs, it's paper. You don't want that. It's a derivative. Yeah.

It's a derivative. So a lot of good things are going on. I've opened up a lot of supply chains and we'll just see what happens. Again, it's a privilege to be able to be here at this point in history, to sponsor your show, to do what I do. We've got great things going on. Also, you know, the freeworld.fm, our new online station, is doing well. We look forward to soon you'll be over there. We'll have you broadcasting on Free World. It's just another. We built a lifeboat for free speech.

That's something we've done with some of the money that we've made off of Wise Wolf and Wolfpack. I'm just reinvesting it into free speech and liberty. And that's key because I think that's another part of it too. You know, we look at the CBDCs and we look at the NACs and stuff. Of course, they're going to be weaponizing their censorship and AI is going to give them all kinds of power that they haven't had before. So these other outlets are going to really be key. So I really do appreciate you doing that. Uh, and Tony,

and, and, thank you so much for your support of the program. It's always great to have you on and get your insights. Thank you so much. Excellent. Thank you. Have a good day and folks,

we will be right back. Stay with us. ¶¶ In a world of deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act. You're listening to The David Knight Show. Sometimes your day needs a little smoothing. Check out the Jazz Channel at APSradio.com and the APS Radio app and leave the stress behind.

I got the horse right here, the name is Paul Revere And here's a guy that says if the weather's clear Can do, can do This guy says the horse can do If he says the horse can do Can do, can do I'm picking Valentine, cause on the morning line

The guy's got him bigger than five to nine. Yeah, we're getting into the horse race aspect of this. We're about to start the first heat, I guess we could call it, coming up on Monday, the Iowa caucus. Are you going to put your money on the horse called Paul Revere? Is there a horse like Paul Revere in this race? I don't think so. But yeah, Trump says James Carville will underperform expectations in Iowa. So he's, I don't know, is he still betting on that horse?

Yes, he is. He still thinks that Trump will win. And he says, well, I'm going to take this opportunity, says James Carville. I'm going to take this opportunity to make a further fool of myself and predict that Trump will underperform expectations in Iowa. I'm not saying he's going to lose. He's going to win place or show. But he might not win as much as expected. Quite frankly, I think that is likely. You know, one of the games that they don't like to do is to get expectations too high.

And we've seen the highest expectations of any politician we've ever seen around donald trump in terms of these polls are they real you know i mean the trump people surprises me you know they were always talking about oh look at how wrong they were in the polls about donald trump in 2016 well are they wrong again you know pumping him up higher than they expect but either way if um they've got him sky high in the polls, even if he wins and wins by a big margin, you know the game that's going to be played by his opponents and by many people as well, he just didn't meet expectations. So the momentum is with somebody else.

So who's the momentum with? He just had a, I guess you could call it a debate. I didn't watch it. It's just become about personal invectives. It's not about policy typically. So I didn't watch the debate that had, that was last night with Nuki Haley and DeSantis. They were,

they only had three people who qualified for this final debate before the Iowa caucus, according to the RNC rules. You had a Rama. Swami did not qualify in terms of his polling numbers and Chris Christie did not qualify and he got out. We'll play you the clip of what he had to say here in a second. So it was the only two people while they had Trump who qualified and he won't debate anybody.

And then you had Nuki Haley and, um, DeSantis exchanging, uh, barbs and criticisms of each other. Carville said, so moderates, do they show up? Well, so it probably helps Haley. More than 60,000 moved to Des Moines suburbs since the 2016 race. On the flip side, across the bottom down here, those are the evangelical rural counties that Ted Cruz beat Trump in 2016. Trump is expected to run it up there. But if DeSantis will surprise us, that's where it will come.

Homeschoolers, evangelicals, right now we're in a pregame. That's what it is. It's all sports to these people. It is a game. It is a game. It's a game like the stock market is a game. All of this stuff is a game it is a game it's a game like the stock market is a game all of this stuff is a game chris christie implores gop voters not to vote for trump after dropping out he says how much more evidence do you need here's his uh here's his uh quitting speech it's not actually

an acquittal i guess but We have people in this race. All they will do is tell you how bad everything is, how angry we should be. And there's certainly sufficient reason for anger at the failures of the leaders we've selected. But they're doing it not for that reason. It's not a moment of honesty and transparency. Believe me, it's not. It's because they believe when we get angry, what we'll do is naturally relate to the angriest

voice in the room. Donald Trump wants you to be angry every day because he's angry. He wants you to be angry so that you'll relate to his anger and then to vote for him. Please understand this. I have known him well for 22 years, more than anybody else in this race has known him. And I can promise you this. If you put him back behind the desk in the Oval Office and a choice comes and a decision is needed to be made as to whether he puts himself first or he puts you first, how much more evidence do you need that he will pick himself?

And if that is what we have there, then people are going to remain angry, remain divided, and become even more exhausted than they are today. Well, you know, that's like I said before. That's what we have from everybody there. We've seen that from Christie. We see that from all the Republicans who want to come after Fauci,

and he's just public enemy number one, but no responsibility at all for Trump. And they're doing that. They're doing that for their own good. And it's not even about putting your interest first. It's about putting the rule of law first, right? When people look at this and say, well, what's in it for me? You know, I don't like these other people over there, or I don't like what they're saying, or I'm afraid because I've been told that there's a virus that's going around, so do something to protect me.

No, it has to be a broader position. And we don't even have, you know, nobody is saying that we don't have any leaders who are saying that, do we? You have to look at this and you have to say, well, even though I don't like what this person is saying, I don't want to create censorship and I don't want to create hate crimes. And I don't want to lock people up because they say things that are not true and hateful and because they hate other groups, because I know how that's going to be weaponized. And we don't even have to extrapolate. We see how it's being weaponized by both Republicans and Democrats.

Now the Republicans are on to the hate laws and the censorship as well for their issues. And so this isn't even about what is in my best interest. This is about the fact that you can't have freedom unless you give it to other people. You can't have a rule of law unless you get your politicians to abide by that and hold their feet to the fire and reject them when they reject the rule of law. It's not about getting concerned about somebody because the law is being inappropriately used to attack them. We've had the law used to attack everybody. All of these politicians need to be bound down with the chains of the Constitution, as Patrick Henry said. That's really what's wrong with America.

And none of these guys have got a clue. Jeffrey Epstein's brother is making the rounds of the talk show. It wasn't that long ago that he went on with Tucker Carlson. And, uh, just recently he went on news nation, a new left-wing network, uh,

the anchor there, uh, Leland Vitter. I don't watch it. So I don't know how his name is pronounced. Uh, but they were talking about his brother and he criticized Mark Epstein, brother of Jeffrey Epstein, criticized Bill Barr for announcing in August of 2019 that

his brother had died from, quote, an apparent suicide. He said, well, it really wasn't his position to do that. And he asked the question, he says, so who was Bill Barr protecting? I think that's an interesting question, especially since on News Nation, they brought up the topic that Tucker would not bring up. You know, the fact that the same guy that Tucker interviewed about the death of his brother, he said, well, you know, Jeffrey Epstein also told me

that if the people knew, the public knew what I know, Jeffrey Epstein knows, about Bill, about the Clintons and about Trump, they would cancel the 2016 election. Well, Tucker didn't ask him that, but the guy at News Nation did. And so he said, yeah, he had dirt on then presidential candidates donald trump and hillary clinton he didn't tell me what that dirt was and i don't know but tucker doesn't want to go to that again um the fact that we have this you know bipartisan corruption there and now look at how corrupted the right-wing media has become. The governor who wants to be Trump's next apprentice.

Well, that's a good way to put it. Because he is essentially running this. He doesn't vet these people. He fires them and then he taunts them and tries to destroy their lives afterwards. But the governor who wants to be the next apprentice, of course, is Kristi Noem, who is actively campaigning for it in Iowa, campaigning for Trump, saying that she wants to be vice president. As I said, every politician knows openly campaigning for the job of vice president is bad form, but Kristi Noem doesn't seem to care.

Yeah. Again, captive to the establishment. Uh, this is a person who as governor would not even protect women's sports, uh, from the trends, uh, nonsense, not even something like that. Yeah. So while I can't sign that veto that because, um, uh, they, they might block us from being able to compete in NCAA tournaments. If we do something like that, they might block all the South Dakota colleges from being able

to do that. That's how compromising she is. There's absolutely no principles. That's why she's there. As a matter of fact, as. O'Rourke who called Congress and the federal government in general, Parliament of Whores. And so she's there soliciting because we've seen what she is willing to do, very much like Nikki Haley and these other politicians. But, you know, the question about who was Bill Barr protecting, this is something that when you look at the people that Trump brings in, like, you know, is he going to bring in somebody like Christine Holm?

The entire Trump presidency was characterized by horrific appointments that really only made sense if you understood, as his lawyer said, he's incapable of making a decision except out of his own perceived interest or out of revenge. And that's the way that he does the hirings. He doesn't hire anybody who is principled. He doesn't hire anybody who agrees with him in terms of what he says he wants to do as president. And then when he gets rid of them, it's all about revenge. But I remember Bill Barr when he came on board, and it was within a couple of, maybe not even two months, that he went after Julian Assange. And who was Bill Barr? He was a guy who was deeply involved with the CIA. And I said, when he appointed Bill Barr, I said, that says a great deal about Trump and the CIA.

Remember, it is not a monolithic thing. You've got the left-wing CIA that's represented by people like Brennan and Clapper. And they're very clear about where they are on this. But there's also a right right wing CIA that's involved. And, uh, the fact that, uh, bill Barr was so deeply, um, so deeply, uh, connected with the Bush family that Trump supposedly hated, but he would bring him in anyway. It really tells you that he was a part of the, um, you know, making these overtures to the CIA.

And there's other tells that we're going to get to here in just a moment. Hunter Biden, meanwhile, as I'd like to do these show hearings, they had a hearing and they had invited, I guess, maybe commanded him to come and speak to this house oversight committee and if you call he had a press conference outside of the building and refused to go in and talk to them so then they decided they would come after him for contempt charges and at that point as they're having the hearing uh hunter shows up and he looks like this. He's got his arms crossed and he's biting his lips and he's frowning and looking at them. I think that is literal contempt that he has demonstrated. It's not just contempt in terms of refusing to talk to them, but he shows up to just show how much contempt he has.

Uh, I guess contempt is not a strong enough word at this point. And it really was a clown show, quite frankly. There's no reason for them to even do this because what can come out of this? As I said before, they may refer him for prosecution to his daddy's Department of Justice, which they all agree is so corrupt that they need to impeach these guys there's been a talk about trying to impeach the mayor garland as well as mallorca so again they can refer the matter to the department of justice so this is all nothing more than just posturing and show pieces and you can see hunter biden

posturing there as well his unannounced appearance and his sudden departure stoked anger from the committee's Republicans. And it's all pure theater. I'm looking at you, Hunter Biden, as I'm speaking to you, says Nancy Mace. And she said, I think that Hunter Biden should be arrested right here, right now, and go straight to jail. Yeah, right. Great. Lots of theatrics there, because there because of course that is no way that that is going to happen um on rumble north american house hippo says i'll give bill bar this

much credit he can play the bagpipes better than i can i want to buy a new set but my wife won't let me that's that's funny yeah karen and i got married in 1980. And, um, my idea was we had, um, I'd graduated in December and I didn't start my job until March. And so we got married, um, in January, our anniversary is coming up on, uh, Saturday, our 44th anniversary is coming up and um and so we went to uh went to the uk had no money at all you know and uh but um we were really scraping everything together but i really wanted to buy a pair of bagpipes and play around with them and um i'd always wanted to do that since i was in a stage band that played brigadoon and they had to bring a guy who had that, they brought a couple of guys over for that, that, that set in, um, so learner and low, I think same guys that did my fair lady and Camelot.

Uh, but, um, they brought a couple of guys over who played bagpipe. And, um, at one point they had them go down the aisles of the audience and everything. And when we, when we were we were at dress rehearsal uh and they came in and they did their bit and then they they march up down the aisles march up on the stage and they go out into the wings they didn't go outside or they're out in the wings and then they let the air out of these things and it sounded like a dying hive of bees and bees and i was just hysterical laughing i always wanted one of these things and for no other reason than to make it a big whoopee cushion i just i thought it'd be great so when we were in the uk we went up to scotland and we went into uh as we were walking around there there was a shop there

and it had all this traditional stuff it had kilts and bagpipes and all the rest of the stuff it's like oh oh it's going here and i went in and i could not get the guy to even tell me the price of a set of bagpipes i guess looking at us he knew there's no way that i could afford any of this stuff and he wouldn't say well just as a diesel you don't want that you don't want that lad you know you he just kept saying that until we left you don't want that you don't want that so i guess um you know bill barr was a little bit more fortunate with his bagpipe experiences. Getting back to this, Marjorie Taylor Greene began to speak. Biden stood up, exited the room, prompting scoffs and cries of, where is he going from the panel?

Well, he's showing you his contempt again. What a coward, she fumed. You see, this is pure professional wrestling the heels and the heroes i mean really you know seriously you know you look at this you look at their screams and all the rest of this stuff this is just political theater and the whole thing is set up this way as a matter of fact one of the other things that nancy grace said to him which is in the headlines of article after article uh she says to him you are the epitome of white privilege oh anything just don't call me white privilege you know to a democrat and then she says you have no balls yeah this is what it's come to these kind of coarse clowns and And that's what she is. She's a coarse clown who supports killing babies.

And she tells Hunter that he has no balls. Hasn't she seen the pictures that he published? I don't, I mean, I think he was trying to convince people otherwise, or so I don't know what his motives were. Anyway, looking at the civil war,

civil war is all over the place, isn't it? Do you find that interesting? often they talk about Civil War? You know, they're trying to tell us something, and you know that they're trying to push something on us when they all talk about Civil War all the time. Questions to the candidates, candidates bringing it up. And of course, in the last election cycle, it began with Eric Swalwell saying, oh yeah, you got your guns well we got a

big military we got planes we can take those things from you we're talking about a civil war and then that was picked up and echoed by beto o'rourke the trans hispanic irishman who was running trying to make you think he was hispanic uh and in texas and also by Biden. And now you see all these comments about civil war. Democrats back the Trump ballot ban, then the GOP sees civil war. They openly talk about it. And I think that they're pushing us for that. As I've said, I think that Trump is the Mason-Dixon line, if you will.

He's a dividing line for everybody. And they're willing to have a civil war, one side or the other. Whoever wins is not going to accept it. And they keep pushing this stuff. Republicans said, well, if you want to kick him off the ballot, it could come as a steep price. Civil war. Well, Trump had something else to say about the Civil War as well. You know, we had Nikki Haley, and she gave that meandering answer.

You know, said, well, I don't know what the Civil War is about. What do you think it's about, type of thing. Roundly criticized for that, and so Trump jumped in on it. And what he had to say was that he could have negotiated the Civil War. He said that in an Iowa speech. If only Abraham Lincoln had read the art of the deal, maybe we would not have had a Civil War. Yeah, because he's a wheeler dealer.

He can make anything happen. He can end the Ukraine war in one day. He could have prevented the American Civil War. He could do anything. This guy is like God in his mind and in the mind of his supporters. He says, so many mistakes were made with the Civil War. He said, I find it fascinating fascinating i'm so attracted to seeing it what a strange way of expressing himself so many mistakes were made see there was something i think

i could have been negotiated to be honest with you i was reading something he did he read something and i said this is something that could have been negotiated that was a that was a tough one for our country civil war that was a tough one for our country if you had negotiated you probably wouldn't even know who abraham lincoln was but that would have been okay well quite frankly uh i don't know you know he again this is this nebulous demagoguery that he's not specific about anything what would happen i specifically said has been pointed out that um you know when they wanted to end possession of slaveries you know first uh the um uh the trade slave was ended by the uk because they were a central part of it.

Thanks to the efforts of William Wilberforce, who did it out of his Christian conviction. So they stopped the slave trade and then they freed the slaves and the Caribbean and they paid the plantation owners for the slaves and free them. And it was less money than the union spent on ammunition in the Civil War. So yeah, it could have been negotiated. Why didn't they do that? Well, because it was a fourth turning. They'd already negotiated the nullification crisis that was brought on by what they call the tariffs of abomination, all of those big economic issues in the 1830s. And yes, slavery was a big part of their economy.

However, even if you're able to grow the stuff, if the taxes are going to keep you from being able to sell your product, it's kind of a moot point. So the economics aspect of that were were already addressed and they'd come up with a compromise because it wasn't time for fourth turning that's the time that we're in right now that's why it's it's very important to understand what a volatile time this is and to prepare for it but um the uh it wasn't just america that was going through that as i've pointed out before 1861 1865 our civil war and Italy's civil war, the creation of a nation state, the transition from an agrarian society to an industrial society.

That was what was happening in European countries as well as here. In a country that was created by secession, that's what we did with the Declaration of Independence, they made it about slavery so they could gloss over that aspect of it. So anyway, he takes the indictments as a badge of honor, tells them, I am being indicted for you. See, this is why they keep pushing him up there as some kind of a false savior, messiah, and that type of thing.

He warns, again, of big trouble if he doesn't get on the ballot. And as yesterday, we talked at great length with Dr. Shivaya Duray, who's also running for president. He's conducting a volunteer signature campaign. We talked about how difficult the Republicans and Democrats have made that for everybody else. And now the Republicans and Democrats, like a couple of crime families, are going after each other. That's what's going on with this.

It's a much bigger issue in terms of whether or not there's going to be really a democracy, whether there's really going to be an election. It's a much bigger issue than what is just going on between Trump and the Democrats. And so Trump, in terms of talking about what's going on with the election, what happened in the last election, went on with Lou Dobbs, who was fired from Fox News, but now he is on the network of Mike Lindell. And so Trump goes on there to talk with him because there's no censorship there. And what he has to say is he says, well, he said, the question I get the most,

probably number two after, you know, do you think the election was stolen last time? Maybe number one sometimes is how do we stop them from cheating? People ask me, will they do it again sir because you know i'm in florida now and i drive to various locations and airports and places and every house has a trump sign on it trump 2024 we got all the votes we need so he says what's going to happen he said the risk is what's going to happen during the election period. Used to be election day or election night. They'd say election night.

But today, you don't have that. You have 60 days, 40 days, 30 days. Some states where they have eight days to count the vote after the election is over. How do you have an election when you have to count the vote for, you know, the machines are supposed to speed up the process, right? We ought to all go to paper. All paper, you know. And they now have a watermark paper a watermark paper where'd that come from um do they really or is he channeling what cia

steve pachinik said two days after the election with that sting thing that he did with owen on info wars uh say we got these blockchain watermark ballots and they were, they came from Trump and, um, the, um, cyber CISA, the cybersecurity people put all this stuff together. And we got 20,000 national guard troops that have fanned out all over the place and they're arresting people today. All of it was a lie. He threw in quantum computing. He had every buzzword he could think of and now trump is talking about

this the watermark paper is that even a thing i don't know but i think it was interesting that um that he brought that up i mean did he was he was was this a CIA thing that he was in on, um, you know, Bill Barr and these other people, or is he something that he heard, uh, because it was on info wars and he's talking about this. He says, um, but we need all paper the same day, voting voter ID, uh, and all the rest of the stuff. But he doesn't say anything about the vote by mail, which was Trump's big contribution to corrupt elections. We never had elections that were that corrupt before he brought that in.

And you notice that what he's doing here, he's saying, well, because there's all these signs around everywhere. Everybody wants me. We've got all the votes. And if I don't win, it's because they've stolen it. That's what all this is really about. That's the big context. Forget about the details, about what he says know, paper ballots and how long it takes to vote.

All that stuff is true. Why didn't he change any of that? Why did he leave all of those aspects in place when he was president and then add to it? One of the biggest pieces of corruption we've ever seen this vote by mail stuff. And in the past, when corruption we've ever seen, this vote-by-mail stuff. And in the past when he's talked about it, he says, we're going to do a better job of them in terms of ballot harvesting. So he's not looking for honest elections, but he is looking for some justification, and that's what his position there is about.

Then there's the back and forth, again, as people are pushing this towards civil war. You got everybody talking about assassination. You got the Trump fans talking about, well, I think Trump is going to be assassinated. Then you've got the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals asked the Trump, a hypothetical question about assassination. And when they were talking about whether or not Trump should be immune from any crimes. And I think it was kind of interesting because when you look at this, he is soundly criticized by the left-wing media, by mediaite, by Drudge, and the headlines are,

Trump lawyer insists the former president didn't kill anybody. Also says the president can assassinate whoever they want, and you can't prosecute him. These are the kinds of headlines that they're pulling out of this thing, and that is not true, as a matter of fact. So the argument that they made was that all of this, that anything the president does, you can't prosecute the president. You have to impeach them and remove them from office. Then you can prosecute them. And that is what the Constitution says.

I really don't understand why this is so controversial to these people they pretend that um as i said uh when asked if the president were to order seal team six to assassinate a political rival trump's lawyer john sauer oddly argued says the mediaite oddly argued that the president would first need to be impeached and convicted by the legislative body before he could be convicted of any criminal wrongdoing. Why is that oddly argued? That's what the Constitution is there for. That's what impeachment is there for.

And as they pointed out, you don't want to have the president or any other officer tied down with endless charges at local jurisdictions, as we see now being done with Trump in this run up to the election. So they can't do their job. You know, they're throwing everything they can at him and all these different places so that he can't even run for office. And so that's why the process of impeachment is there. And they think that that is a strange thing. No, it's actually a wise thing. I was surprised to see that Jonathan Turley went on Fox News.

And as Mediate says, he found the argument lacking. Well, I looked at what he had to say. And he just he didn't give any reason for why he disagreed with what the Trump lawyer said. But I think that is that is the way that this has to be done. You have to remove these people from office and you can you can impeach them and have the trial and remove them even for misdemeanors. And then the law kicks in. Jamie Raskin said, well, here's the absurd logic of this uh he could he could assassinate his opponent and if they start the impeachment process he could assassinate senators who are not going to vote to impeach him so you can't have that this is obviously just nonsense well the one thing that

jonathan turley said he said he didn't really give it an answer. He said, well, I don't agree with that, but he didn't say why. What he did say was these are just jump scares, jump scares. In other words, they're jumping the shark with these arguments. They're just trying to scare everybody with these extreme examples. But, you know, the real reality of all this is that the president has, you know, assassinated people all the time. You had Obama who assassinated an American citizen in the Middle East. You remember that? And then assassinated his son.

They assassinate people all the time. Trump was bragging about the fact that he assassinated this Iranian general. Were we at war with Iran? Of course, nobody would suggest that Obama or Trump should be impeached for being murdering assassins. Nobody cares about that. And, of course, what the reality is is that there are situations like this guy who just got sent to jail because he had a joke meme about Hillary Clinton.

You see, that's the reality of where we are. That's how out of kelter the due process is. That is far more important. And that is the reality. This is not some kind of a hypothetical case that's meant to scare people you ought to be afraid if somebody can be sent to jail for making a joke about hillary clinton and um that is uh that has already happened we're going to take a quick break and we'll be right back. You're listening to The David Knight Show. I'm going to go. hear news now at apsradionews.com or get the aps radio app and never miss another story

we'll have a couple of uh comments and tips on rock fan a couple more uh angus mustang thank you very much for the tip uh he says thank you david and my family for the work you do to keep us informed well we couldn't do it if it wasn't for your support so thank you very much Angus and James on Rockfin thank you for the tip as a matter of fact as we're talking about the listeners I had some interesting letters in the last couple of days and I want to begin with this one because it's um it's kind of a humorous lesson uh and uh and it's about being on a jury. This is from a listener. BJ said, after watching your interview with Alex Lazarev, the Canadian comedian who, uh, again, he's ridiculing all this lockdown.

And this guy slammed his bicycle into his car window and smashed it on video. Uh, the guy just couldn't handle the ridicule because the guy was a part of the medical community that was locking everybody down. That was his response, just force. That's the way these people are. But anyway, after watching your interview with Alex Lazarev, I just had to share my experience Wednesday when I went in for jury duty. Yes, I had my pocket constitution and I know all about jury nullification.

How could I not after listening to you? That's one of my hobby horses there. I walked into the courtroom a little early and about 15 to 20 people were already there. Scattered around the audience seating. Perfectly spaced out like it's COVID time. Dead silence reigned. I spoke up to the bailiff and asked, is this a library silence zone? And he said, no, you can talk.

So I sat down next to a woman who has immediately moved away and got her mask out. And BJ is not a man, but a woman. They're not doing this because they think they're putting a move on him. Anyway, after a brief discussion about how masks don't work, how their studies, et cetera, I turned to the room in general and I said what I have said many times in gatherings like these and grocery store lines mostly. Isn't it interesting how here we are for the same time and for the same thing and from the same community and we share so much in common and we all do our best to ignore one another.

We have so much in common. Maybe we have lived here all of our lives or our families for generations, and we may work here. We may have children going to school together. How much could we be discussing, but we pretend we don't know each other. And she said, and then the dam broke. The women around me started talking. People started sharing ideas and comments in the room sounded like a lively party instead of death. And I won't say funeral, because at least there, people talk in hushed tones. And it's not dead silence. The COVID-fearful woman moved a little closer, and she told me that her husband was a truck driver, and we talked about that until the judge came in and got to

business. There used to be a stick-up sign I had in the window of my truck, panic, chaos, and disorder. My job is done here. I have made it a personal mission to engage people wherever I can, usually with humor. My favorite ploy is to approach someone in a store with their hands full and ask, are you ticklish? And they usually ask why, to which I reply, because you can't fight back.

Mostly they think about it for a moment, then they smile or laugh, and we go our separate ways. And so she finishes up by saying, God bless you for what you do. Your blood pressure wouldn't go so high if you didn't get so mad. Yeah, right, she says. And yeah, I don't know about my blood pressure. I can see where my pulse rate goes up when I get upset about this. This is from Eileen.

And she says, you woke me up to Trump. She said, I've been hearing you more and more say that you aren't sure how long you will have your program because so many of your listeners are not happy with the fact that you tell the truth about Trump and they don't believe it or else they just overlook his transgressions. I wanted to make you aware that I'd been a Trump supporter in the day and thanks to you was awakened to the fact that he's no different from the rest of the corrupt politicians. What I'm guessing is there's a lot of your listeners that you've woken up and they haven't come forward to let you know this. Someone with a beef is more likely to air their dissatisfaction than a happy consumer of your news well thank you eileen i appreciate the encouragement uh you know it's not just that it's the uh it's you know it is that uh i do get a lot of people who are very angry about that

uh but uh and i think that's going to increase. The reason I think it's going to increase is because as we draw close to the election, you know, the phenomenon that I've seen over and over again, a lot of people will say, you know, about halfway through the primary cycle, they'll say, well, I'm going to vote for the third party candidate. I'm going to vote for the independent. And then when you get closer, you get to the election time and it gets really tight. Then they start looking at the lesser of two evil thing.

It's like, well, I really hate that other guy. So I'm going to have to vote for this one. And then they, once they buy into that decision, then, um, you know, it's like same thing as criticizing somebody's car that they just bought. They bought into this thing. You don't criticize the car, even if pieces are falling off of it. You know, it's not, uh, you don't want to point that out. Uh, even if the wheels are coming off and even if the wheels are coming off of their

candidate, once they've made that decision, they're going to go into it. But the other part of this that concerns me again is the weaponization of artificial intelligence to be able to do more censorship. And, you know, it's not just that I tell Trump supporters what they don't want to hear. I say things that the World Economic Forum and both Democrats and Republicans don't want you to hear about. And so that has been the case for a very long time i just want to say this is from a subscribe star supporter and um and that is very important it's a comment about skipping on the podcast it's first time i've seen that so if um uh other of you this is from garrison if you're having this problem let me know um he said i know it'll be a long year for you so i've

decided to increase my subscription well thank you garrison i appreciate that additionally i'd like to make you aware that the podcast is doing some weird skipping around i've noticed it a lot recently for example on the 9th on january 9th episode during the second hour while you were reading the brownstone fictional story it jumped ahead to you talking about Ruby Ridge. I've noticed this a lot over the past month or so. Sometimes it'll even skip back and replay a section. It won't stop me from listening, but I wouldn't let you know. So it says, praying for you and our country and that we would turn back to the Lord.

Well, that's the answer for each of us individually and for us collectively. I just want to say these are the platforms that are available to to me and they're the only platforms that are available to me. And that's, that's part of the problem. I don't know which one he's listening through. So, um, so Garrison, if you hear this, uh, let me know which one of those it was. I don't have a lot of different options though. That's the key thing. Uh, but I do want to thank you. And I want to thank, uh, the people who are on subscribe star who I didn't don't typically read names off for them, but it's a very important base. And I just want to say that if you are a subscribe star supporter, make sure you check and make sure that you're still supporting us because if

your card changes or something like that, they don't typically give you any notification. If there's some kind of a change on your credit card or if it expires or something like that. And let me just say real quickly, I want to thank some of the people who have supported us on Zelle from the beginning of the year. Mary M, thank you very much. Actually, this is December the 29th, but you didn't mention this was the last time I talked about Zell. So thank you, Mary M., Kurt O., Michael L., William W., Maurice W., Rogelio J., David R., Scott L., Kimberly M., Adam D Mary M again. Thank you very much. Madison F Gretchen C Matthew M Jeffrey C Armando M Peter E

Regalio again and Sean S. Thank you very much. And the one that we got yesterday, Benjamin R. Thank you very much. He wrote Happy New Year. Merry belated Christmas. And it was a very generous contribution. I appreciate that. By the way, Kurt O said, it's first time giving long time listener. I really do appreciate that. Thank you so much for

that. Let's talk a little bit about a book that was sent to me. i'm going to try to get this author on because i thought it was a very we've been talking about the lockdown and what happened with a lockdown uh this is the book is a scattering the sheep and it has a foreword by matt trahala who i have interviewed many times about his book the doctrine of theistrate. And this book is about how we as individuals, but especially Christians and churches, how they responded to the lockdown. And the foreword from Matt Trujillo begins with the executive order, March 2020.

Now, therefore, I, Donald Trump, President of the United States, by the authority vested in me by the Constitution, declare a national emergency. I Donald Trump president of the United States by the authority vested in me by the constitution, okay, declare a national emergency. And by the presumed authority that he said he had with the constitution. Again, we all know that he shut down businesses and, um,

you know, all the rest of the things that were done by putting Fauci in charge. Matt says shortly after that pronouncement churches were declared non essential by state governments across the nation. They were either ordered or strongly advised to shut down. The compliance by churchmen was blithe, near monolithic. Approximately 95% of the churches shuttered their doors. Looking back, one wonders how it was that the vast majority of churchmen and Christians could not see COVID for the fraud that it was.

So he said, at Mercy Seat Christian Church, our assembly in Wisconsin, we were kicked out of our meeting place in March of 2020. The very next week, our church began meeting in homes, and we've never stopped gathering since. So that's the response to political persecution, which is what that was. That's what we've seen in China. That is the home church. The real church is not going to be shut down. And I understand there were a lot of people who did not understand the germ games that

have been practiced for 20 years. They had a genuine fear that people were going to die. That's what they're hearing everywhere. They were not skeptical, as I think many of them are, of what they were hearing on the news, both mainstream media, left-wing media, and even from a lot of people on the right. It was at Infowars, and we're scaring everybody about this. This is unprecedented. We've never seen anything like it. It's got this special hook, and it hooks into you and all the rest of it. I mean, I heard all of that at InfoWars. And so I understand that people were uncertain, that they wanted to play it safe.

But as Matt said, you do not. He said, I delivered a sermon on March the 29th, 2020, on COVID and quarantine laws. And in that, he said, I preached on Leviticus 13, which has some quarantine stuff in it, right? What do we do when we have disease and we quarantine? And that's one of the things I think is interesting when you look at the Bible. Nobody did anything like that. That wasn't a common practice with the Egyptians.

You know, most of their medicines involved, you know, you know, tongue of some sort, and they didn't do quarantine. But anyway, you do not quarantine the whole of society. He said you quarantine the sick. Notice in God's law that the rights and the freedoms of the entire population are not abridged just because of a disease. In other words, there were instructions there on how to identify a disease and what they do. But that person outside the camp, not everybody else, please understand, he said, disease is always around in any society. You can't spend your whole life hiding from germs and diseases. And yet, he said, most churchmen spent months and months

kowtowing to government mandates and man-made edicts. Churchmen shut down their churches, appealing to a servile suppression to the state or a nanny-like desire to prevent their people from making their own decisions about gathering. How was it that they could not discern that government officials were using COVID as a tool for evil designs? How could they not see it as a molehill being made into a mountain? How could they not see it for the fraud and the evil that it was? How could they not see the COVID response as pure evil

when it impugned God's created order by preventing men from working? How could they not see it for the fraud and evil it was when the churches were labeled non-essential, but the abortion death camps were labeled essential and remained open? How could they not see it for fraud and evil, but it was when God's law makes it clear that only the sick are to be quarantined, but government officials were quarantining the whole of society? Why did it take months before some began to see it? And why do many still believe it? Why were the churchmen putty in the hands of wicked men who employed them to further convince the people that the COVID response was not a lie,

not a fraud, not a great evil? How could they not discern that evil was afoot? He said, the answer to all these questions is in part because the most vaunted desire of your average American churchman is to be liked. He wants to be thought well of, and he loves the praises of men. In America, therefore, the average churchman wants to be a consensus builder, not a servant leader, whose fealty is first to the Lord and his law. I mention that because whether or not you're a Christian, we have to look at this and say that,

as I was condemning the Republicans who were holding these COVID, the COVID committee nonsense that's going on, they want to bring Fauci in. They want to tell him off. But they don't want to say anything about Trump. Why? Because they want the praise of men. Because they're looking at what is in their interest. And because they don't have any fealty to the Constitution or to the rule of law. And quite frankly, folks, because they will all do it again.

There was never any authority for what they have done, but they made that a precedent. And what they did was they not only got away with it. And we are the ones who were guilty for it, because in many cases, you know, the vast majority of Americans sat down and compliant. I know many of you did not.

Uh, I did not. Uh, but for whatever reason, whether it was deception, lack of discernment, fear of man wanting to be liked and to please other people for whatever reason, that was what happened. And so in a sense, these Republicans in Congress really do represent the vast majority of Americans who want to just go along and not stand for the principles that have made this country great and will accept the slavery that's being put on them.
