Music Using free speech to free minds. You're listening to The David Knight Show. As the clock strikes 13, it's Monday, the 12th of December, year of our Lord, 2022, day 1005 of the emergency. And there is a new thing heading our way. Coming by 2027, so the World Economic Forum is going to be CBDC. I think it's going to come, going to have a lot of moves this year.

I'm going to begin the program with this. I did an interview on Friday with a Tennessee state senator, Frank Nicely, who is pushing to set up a state bank here in Tennessee for the purpose of stopping CBDC. Yes, there are issues with inflation that could go out of control. And there's going to be some opposition from the big banks. The local banks need to understand it is their only path to survival. But we'll also be talking about the fact they're still doing germ gains. Just did one in October. And we'll take a look at what is happening with Twitter. But more importantly, how Musk is being idolized by Christians. We'll be right back. Stay with us.

Well, going back to May of this year, when the World Economic Forum had their meeting, they talked about 17 ways that technology could change the world by 2027. And, of course, CBDC was a part of that. And we'll take a look at that. But let me just mention a few of the other things, because they really do, they really, all these different technologies are starting to coalesce around one general theme, as I'm sure you've seen by now, the ID and passport stuff. This is why we knew from the very beginning what this was about. It wasn't about a pandemic.

Never was. The lockdown until we got a vaccine, That was what they practiced since dark winter. And then they rolled out the rules after they did a false flag the week after nine 11 with the anthrax attack, they rolled out the rules then practiced it for 20 years. They're still practicing it. It is not ended. You've got a New York city and other places are that we've got to bring back

the mask. Why? Because now we've got a tridemic, a tridemic, always looking for a new way to panic people. Yes, we have three respiratory illnesses out there. We have cold, flu, and COVID all at once. So be afraid, be very afraid. And the mainstream media is partnering with them in all of this. And they're running more games to plan how they're going to do this all to us. Again, while they've left all of the legal measures in place, there is a Stockholm syndrome amongst these people who are still walking around wearing masks. You see them all over the place, more or less, depending on where you live.

Not too many around here, but still occasionally see some people wearing it around here. So going back to the World Economic Forum, they said, we asked our 2022 cohort, cohort, no, co-conspirators. They're not your cohort, they're co-conspirators, for their views on how technology will change the world in the next five years. 2027. As a matter of fact, it's going to be less than five years. Because we're near the end of 2022. This is in May.

Credit will become accessible to those ignored by traditional financial institutions. This is the way they sold Aadhaar. The way Bill Gates and others sold it in India. Rolling it out to people who were poor, needed social services, and they said, well, the only way you're going to get that is if you take the number. And when I talked to Amman on Thursday, I think it was, we talked about how they roll that out, how they're going to do it again. But this is one of the things they said I thought was kind of interesting.

Gig work will be the predominant mode of work within five years uh and the way they're looking at this and the way that they're selling this is that you can have cheap labor without them actually being in your backyard you know they're not in my backyard syndrome well i'd love to have those people in the third world working for me, but I don't want them actually coming into the area here. So let's keep them at slave wages. We can set up virtual reality, get them 5G. We'll have 5G here. And you saw this during the pandemic.

And I said, that's exactly what that is for. They're modeling universal basic income for those of us who would, if we really understood what was going on, rise up and stop this. But that's to pacify us. But you saw pictures of how somebody not going into a convenience store could remotely stock those shelves. Well, who's going to be going there to buy anything? I mean, you know, this is if someone can go there to buy something, then somebody could

physically go there to stock the shelves, unless you wanted somebody from a poor country that you could exploit as slave labor to do menial tasks here in America. You know, this is the next stage of globalism. We've exported our manufacturing and other things like that to China. And it's absolutely reprehensible as this was rolling out in the 1990s to hear libertarians say, well, hey, you know, this is great. You don't want to do that kind of labor, do you? You know, these are dangerous jobs, dirty jobs.

We'll send those to China. People do it for a little bit of money, right? Walmart's got the falling prices every day. Hey, this is great. Life is great. We can just use these slaves. Now they're going to enslave us into a digital prison, and they're going to still continue to use slave labor

while they keep us pinned up like Eloy. So gig work will be the predominant mode of work, says World Economic Forum co-conspirators. This shift has larger ramifications for low-skilled and blue-collar workers, who comprise more than 80% of the workforce in developing countries. Over time, technology will enable financial stability and discipline without the need for people to gain relevant knowledge. This is the other part of it. We're not going to improve your job skills. We're not going to, you know, you're not going to, we're going to dumb you down. We're going to continue to dumb

you down. That's been the purpose of government education going back to the 1980s. Charlotte Iserby, the deliberate dumbing down of America. This is what she said the Department of Education is for. She knows. She went there to shut it down, and she got out of government because she saw that Reagan was not going to shut it down, as he promised. And she saw the true purpose of the Department of Education, the deliberate dumbing down.

And it goes beyond the deliberate dumbing down. It goes into the brave new world. Hey, don't give a damn. Take a gram of Soma. Sex everywhere for the kids to keep them distracted. Make sure they don't pay any attention. And then if somebody, that doesn't work. For those of us that that doesn't work for, we get the 1984 treatment.

So over time, technology will enable financial stability and discipline. People don't have to gain any knowledge. AI and machine learning advisors will become ubiquitous, constantly recommending the next gig, the next investment, or the next online class, truly democratizing financial well-being. Not financial well-being, but democratizing and making ubiquitous ignorance and poverty. That's their plan. Then they talk about Web3. The advent of Web3 technology enables the automation of settlement by smart contracts and the tokenization of physical asset commerce transactions into a universal standard such as NFTs. This is a part of what they plan to do with CBDCs.

And of course, NFTs have now had people been exposed to it. It has kind of gone belly up. The same thing that they're now doing in terms of people's trust in it, people wanting to have something to do with it. It's lost the public's confidence, just as they're now doing to crypto. And we're going to talk about SB uh, SBS role in that perhaps it was just accidental, or perhaps it wasn't an accident because he was doing some very deliberate things to undermine crypto in general. You could say it was to save himself and we'll get to that in a

moment, but it might've been to help the people who put him in place. You've seen this guy, you know, that he's not some genius who got there. Um, yeah. Uh, and I was, NFTs were such a good idea. Weren't they? Yeah. My son says, yeah. Uh, by 2027, we'll look back at our current digital interactions the same way we see our carbon emissions today.

Social media has exposed the perils of technology designed without humans at the center. So we're going to put humans at the center. They're going to put us at the center of the metaverse. Yeah, we all think we're the center of the universe. Well, they're going to make us think that we are the center of the metaverse. The transition to the metaverse, they said, will not be technological, but a sociological paradigm shift. They've been working on this for quite some time. The metaverse, they said, will be shaped by the communication of our emotions,

enabled by technologies such as virtual and augmented reality. The brain- brain computer interface. Oh, wait a minute. Who is that that's working on? So they're saying social media is going to be supplanted by the brain computer interface. Who is it that is making so much noise right now about social media? And who is it that has made one of his pet projects brain-computer interface? Well, that would be our savior, Elon Musk, the billionaire, the altruistic billionaire,

who just spent a sizable chunk of his fortune, almost became, and momentarily did become, merely the second richest man the world has ever seen. But now he's back in first place again. Now he's laying the foundation. He's playing the long game on this stuff. And we'll get to Musk in a bit. But what he's talking about here, we're going to put emotions at the center.

They're going to make it not just virtual, but they're going to make it visceral. Visceral. They're working on ways to make this artificial reality that they're creating feel as real as possible. And if they can, they will take us out of the actual reality. We'll decentralize our platform experience,

and we'll be able to give our daughter a soothing caress from across the ocean. We'll hold the hand of our grandmother who passed away. Let me tell you something. If they control reality, it's not reality. Why would you have to give your daughter a soothing caress from across the ocean? Well, certainly if you're separated because of circumstances, that would be a nice thing, but it's going to be a necessary thing because they don't even want you to travel to a different part of your city that you live in. Remember the 15 minute zones. This is what they're doing in Oxford,

Canterbury, many other places. Some of them, they're talking about five minute zones. We're going to have everything that you need, all the little services right there in your Patrick McGowan village. So you don't have to go anywhere. And you will not go anywhere. And you're not going to have any plane flights except, as I point out, one every three years under 1,000 miles. So if they're across the ocean, the only way that you're going to be able to simulate some kind of personal contact with them is with the metaverse and virtual reality.

But it's not going to be real. They're going to do everything to give you a phony imitation of it. If that isn't satanic, what is? Satan, the imitator of everything that's true and real. Battery-powered construction will underpin sustainability efforts. Some of this stuff is kind of funny. This is from Amped Energy, and of course, they make batteries. So therefore, batteries are going to be at the center of everything.

We don't want to build anything. Construction industry accounts for almost 40% of global CO2 emissions. So let's not build anything. Let's not grow any food. And maybe we can all just buy batteries, and we'll be safe. And then buildings will dynamically respond and adjust to support human wellness and comfort. Well, that sounds really nice, except, as I point out,

it's not just the construction stuff, but then when you move into what you've built, 90% of life is indoors, and 50% of carbon emissions are created by buildings. Look, we create carbon emissions because we breathe, and they're not a big deal. Well, as Eric Peters, I think it's a very effective strategy. He tells people who are listening to the siren song of global warming and climate disaster. What percentage,

tell me what percentage do you think of the atmosphere is carbon dioxide? It's minuscule. And then it's like, okay, and a lot of that is natural, just people and animals living. So what percentage is that of that tiny percentage? What do you think is coming from SUVs? And do you think CO2 is changing the atmosphere? If it's that, changing the temperature, if it's that small a part of the atmosphere? At LiveScoreBet

The emergence of digital twin and 5g 6g technology, enabling new ways of assessing and optimizing value over the building life cycle from design and construction and operations. The understanding of energy, listen to this, the understanding of energy as not just a direct cost, but also as a liability. Energy as a liability for those who cannot keep up with the new regulatory

and ESG framework. In other words, if you don't do what we say with ESG, this is going to be something that is going to destroy you financially. And talking about buildings, talking about energy use, talking about heating and cooling your building. See, this is what they're after. A couple more of these before I get into the CBDC.

Just to give you a perspective, because the CBDC is one of the key things to make all this happen. Our task, your task and mine, is to get people to understand how serious they are. How serious they are about taking everything away from us. I mean, when they say you'll own nothing and you'll be happier, they mean taking everything away from us, all activities, everything. This was just a trial run that we went through in 2020 with Trump and everybody, oh, it's 4D chess. He's, he's, it's okay. He's there. Let it happen. Right. That would have never happened with Hillary Clinton in place.

You understand? No way. No way people would have let Hillary Clinton lock us in. But Donald Trump, he's our friend. Just like Elon Musk. They're both our friends. They're Pied Piper globalists who are leading us into this and understand that that was what the big PR thing about Donald Trump was. Oh,

he's anti-globalist. He's anti-global. So it can't be that it was so firmly entrenched in people's minds after four years from the campaign and the first three years of his presence, he's anti-globalist. Look at all the stuff that he says. Don't look at what he does. Don't look at the USMCA.

Got an update on that. What just happened with the USMCA. But yeah, don't look at what he does. Look at what he said. He says he's anti-globalist and these people hate him. They're coming after him. And what did he do? He ushered in all of the stuff that the globalists have been planning for decades.

Now we got Elon Musk. He is Mr. Free Speech absolutist, and we can trust him. And what I suspect is he's going to gain people's trust, and he's going to use this as leverage with governments and elsewhere. He's going to use this as leverage to enact total control over us. Not just speech, but money. He's moving towards a PayPal type of payment plan. He's got big plans for this stuff.

Anyway, and one of these things they're talking about, well, we're going to have to have grid flexibility. Why do we need to have grid flexibility? I mean, we were able to always power everything without any problem. We didn't die. The planet is still doing fine in spite of what the alarmist is telling us. We didn't have any global warming in spite of what the alarmists are telling us. We didn't have any global warming in spite of what the alarmists are telling us. We didn't lose the Great Barrier Reef, which they said was going to happen. It's getting bigger. We didn't lose the polar ice caps. They're getting bigger.

They're coming back. We see that it's a cyclical thing like many other things. Oceans are not rising. All of this stuff, right? But now we've got problems with our grid because we believed all that stuff and let them do things. And so now they're talking about how we have to have grid flexibility as we incorporate more intermittent renewable energy sources. We always knew they were intermittent. We always warned about that, such as wind and solar into the power mix.

Into the power mix, you're going to make it 100% the power. Flexible load will be critical, crucial rather, to ensure that the grid can always meet demand. There'll be significantly more digitized, decarbonized, and resource-efficient future by 2025. And it'll be made possible because we'll be able to respond to real-time grid requirements in targeted areas, supporting the electric grid when it needs it the most. Well, let me tell you what they're talking about here. Rationing.

They're talking about rationing. You know, we have to have grid flexibility because we're not going to have grid capacity. They're shutting down the capacity and they're building, putting everything on the grid. All transportation, all heat, all air,'re building, putting everything on the grid, all transportation, all heat, all air, everything's got to be on the grid. And so they don't have capacity and it's going to be intermittent. And so what are they going to do? They're going to have grid flexibility. It's not a problem.

It's not a bug. It's a feature. Yeah. They want grid flexibility, like the kind that caused a major blackouts in Texas last year. That's exactly right. That's what my son said. Um, they want to have flexibility. They want to be able to continue to provide target, uh, uh, power to targeted areas.

The elites will get it. The approved corporations will get it. But those of us who are, how did Trump put it? Oh yeah. Non-essential. Those of us who are non-essential will be in the dark. We won't even be able to heat our homes. In the UK, they are setting up heat islands for people to go to, to get warm since they can't afford to have it

in their home. This is the future, but this is the current situation. It's only going to get worse in the future. There'll be targeted areas where, well, okay, we've got to keep the power on to our corporate sponsors and that type of thing. And although you can't afford it in your home, you can go somewhere to get warm for a little while and then go back to your cold home. How about that? So they'll support it where they need it the most. It'll be rationing for the elites.

That's what they're talking about here. So we won't go into all the food plans. You've heard that many, many times as well, but let's get to the central bank digital currency. This is what the World Economic Forum said. By 2027, they see this in place. And we should pay attention to that.

They're very serious about their plans. These are people who have accomplished a great deal. You never accomplish anything if you don't put a date on a plan, right? I always tell my kids, it's just a wish if you don't put a date on it, if you don't have goals about steps that you're going to take to get there. You got to plan it out, you got to have steps, and you got to have a date certain or it ain't going to happen. Well, these people are going to make it happen, and they've got dates, and we should pay attention to those dates. The UN and Davos back in 2015 agreed that 2030 was the date that they were going to roll out Agenda 21. Prior to that, it was nebulous.

It was a wish. Yeah, we wish that we could get everybody into a few megacities sometime in the 21st century. Then they got very specific about it at the same time because they're working together. It's a conspiracy. They breathe together. They plan together. They have the same date together. And now the date to get us locked in the, you know, have all this stuff finished.

The fourth turning completed. They've taken everything away from us. You know, that's 2030. But a key part of this is the CBDC. That they want in place by 2027. And that may actually be a very conservative date

to get this done at the speed at which it is running. The next three to five years, they said, the next three to five years we're going to have this. So, before I go to my interview with a state Senator about a state bank, just want to remind you of the interview. If you haven't seen it, the one that I had with him on jobby last week, and he talked about the central issues that we need to be concerned about our constant surveillance

because he was an engineer that, you know that worked on cameras and things like that. But they're everywhere, as he pointed out. They're going to lock you down, lock down every aspect of your life, just like they did in the trial run during the so-called pandemic. And you're going to have to have a vaccine passport, a digital identity, a social credit system, and CBDC to do all this. Facial recognition, all kinds of biometric surveillance will be your password.

And your social credit score will be there. And, you know, I think we need to stop calling it social credit score. And I think we need to stop using the terms woke. Woke is their term. Our term and the more accurate term is political correctness. For the longest time, we talked about PC, PC, PC, and you understood what it was about. Political correctness goes back to its Marxist totalitarian origins. That's exactly what it is. Political correctness calls it out for what it is. The other people, the people who are doing this to us, always come up with labels. They've got new labels now coming out from the Associated Press, their style book.

New ways that you will talk about abortion. They're always controlling the narrative in every way. But one of the ways that they control it is by the labels. That's how they get the high ground in a debate, by controlling the labels. And so they didn't like the label political correctness. That's why you need to use it, because it's true. They call themselves woke, because we're telling everybody, hey, you need to wake up, you need to take the red pill or whatever.

No, they call themselves woke. They're not awake. They're zombies. It's exactly the opposite. And that's another tell that it is a propaganda term. They go exactly the opposite of what it is. So we need to call it political correctness, and we need to call it your pc score

not your social credit score your political correctness score are you politically correct are you with the government and every political narrative that they want to push are you doing exactly what they want well okay then fine you you get get that. That was the Marxist way to do it. One of the things that we did not get to in the interview with Javi was the formula from Yuval Noah Harari of the World Economic Forum, where he says the ability to hack humans has got an equation. BCD equals AHH. And what he's saying is that the ability to hack humans is AHH. And that is equal to their biological knowledge of you,

their computing power, and their data, right? So the computing power to essentially mine the data, to make predictions about it, that's what geospatial intelligence is. And a part of geospatial intelligence is anticipatory intelligence, where they know you, they've got a database, and they can then hack you. That is the goal. That's what these people are working for. And CBDC is a key part of that. And, you know, we talk about that.

We say, well, you know, being able to get biometric data on you, have data about you, then the computing power to process it for everybody. That's why 5G is so important. The bandwidth. Isn't it interesting after 2,000 years? You know, when you talk about the Mark of the Beast and other things like that, I don't claim to know exactly what 666 is. Everybody's got a theory about that.

But the key thing, whatever it is, it's the number of a man. And so we are going to be reduced to a number. We'll have a number that will be our identity. We will have a number that will be used to track everything that we do. We'll be reduced to a formula. Oh, yeah. Patrick McGeehan said, I'm not a number. I'm a free man.

Which the Yuval Harari number two says starts laughing. Uh, but we know who number one is, and we are not number one. God is number one. Clive Schwab's not number one. Yuval Harari is not number one. God is number one. He'll have the final say on all this. But we understand that it's just interesting to me to see how the contours are folding together into the narrative of the apocalyptic vision 2,000 years ago. Not quite so hidden anymore, is it? Anyway, the Fed moves towards monetary totalitarianism, Mises Institute. This is a roadmap. This is a roadmap. This is the date. The question the kids always had in the car was, are we there yet?

Everybody hears that. Are we there yet? Are we there yet? When is CBDC going to come out? Well, 2027. But here's where we are. We're at this point where they're testing it in every country of the world, rolling it out at one stage or the other.

The Mises Institute said it may seem that the purpose of CBDC is to facilitate transactions and to enhance economic activity, but CBDCs are mainly about more government control over individuals. We have to hammer this with everybody. Everybody needs to understand this. This should not be a difficult thing to explain to people, but they need to understand this. This should not be a difficult thing to explain to people, but they need to understand this. It's kind of like the abortion thing. It's like, why can't we tackle this thing head on? Let's not beat around the bush.

Let's not go easy on this stuff. If we're worried that we're going to get deplatformed, if we're worried that people aren't going to like us, we're not going to make it. We have to make sure that we tackle this narrative. You know, we don't wrestle against flesh and blood, but we've got to take all these thoughts captive. This is a psyop, and we've got to take this psyop captive. So, it's about controlling access to all transactions, and I'm glad to see this coming

out now in a lot of different places all at at once, because we got to catch up. We're way behind on the curve here. These people are way down the road on their plans. And we better get in the car and step on the metal. Well, push it, pedal to the metal, rather. Only totalitarian governments would do asset freezing. But, of course, we've seen it in canada and brazil right at live score bet we love cheltenham just as much as we love football the excitement the

The war on cash, says Mises Institute, the end of cash would mean less privacy for individuals, allow central banks to maintain a monetary policy of negative interest rates, since individuals would be unable to withdraw money from commercial banks because, you know, anything you're going to be able to hold. The U.S. is getting ready to establish its own CBDC or something similar. The first step was taken in August when the Fed announced FedNow. FedNow will be an instant payment system scheduled to be launched between May and July 2023. What I see with this, and they talk about how it's nearly identical to a system in Brazil called PIX, P-I-X,

implemented by the central bank in Brazil, November of 2020. A convenient, instant payment system without user fees, things like that. Now, this is why the Federal Reserve president of the Minneapolis Bank said, well, I don't see the purpose of this. You're telling me, oh, we can do instant payments? He says, we got Venmo that'll do that right now. I keep asking anybody, anybody at the Fed or outside of the Fed to explain to me what problem this is solving. I can send anybody in this room $5 with Venmo right now. Seriously, so what is it that a CPC could5 with Venmo right now. Right? No, seriously.

So what is it that a CPC could do that Venmo can't do? And all I get is a bunch of hand-waving. I get a bunch, well, maybe it's better for financial inclusion. Maybe it's better for cross-border remittances. Maybe. Is there any evidence that it is? And, you know, they say, well, what about China? China's doing it.

Well, I can see why China would do it. If they want to monitor every one of your transactions, you could do that with the central bank digital currency. You can't do that with Venmo. If you want to impose negative interest rates, you could do that with the central bank digital currency. You can't do that with Venmo. And if you want to directly tax customer accounts, you could do that with the central bank digital currency. You can't do that with Venmo. But I get why China would be interested. Why would the American people be for that? So here's the thing. Fed now allows them to take a next step

towards CBDC but then have plausible deniability. It's just a replacement for Venmo or something. What do we need a replacement for Venmo for? I'm sure that I'll be blocked from using that just like I've been blocked from Venmo and PayPal. So this is why I know what has come because I've experienced a lot of this.

It's not a theory for me. It's a reality already. It's already happening. As Amman was saying, look, this is already there. They've already got your social credit score. They've already got your ID in the database. They just haven't applied it to people yet. Most people, right. Then apply to me. So, you know, banned from PayPal, banned from Venmo. It's like, Oh, well, you know, what's the deal with this? I hung on the phone for about 45 minutes with the guy.

He says, well, I've not seen seen this before because that was back in 2021 may of 2021 he says there's no reason just said to take it down now oh okay yeah i never got any warning i can't i can't appeal no you can't appeal it oh okay well i understand what that is okay so um we look at at the so there's two different legs that are going here. They got one that's like, oh, you're doing Fed now. It's just going to be a nice replacement. No user fees. It'll be free to send money and all the rest of this stuff.

It'll be run by the Federal Reserve. Isn't that nice? Everybody needs to have that. It's just going to add a service for you. But it's not CBDC. And they're right. It isn't quite. It's a path to it. And they can deny

that that's what it is. But just as he was saying, what's the point of doing this? We've already got these other things out here. We already know how all of it's going to be used. But if you look at the path for CBDC, in March, several things happened. In March, you had Elizabeth Warren saying, going really hard and heavy on CBDC. She talked about it on the Sunday shows. You know, they have the meet the press and all the other stuff, you know, on Sundays. So she talked about it. We got to have CBDC. The lady who tells us that she's going to protect consumers and stuff.

Where is she, by the way? As credit card rates have soared to 30%. Is she doing any consumer protection? I don't think so. But anyway, she was saying, we have to go into CBDC. Got to do it. And that was exactly the same time that Biden rolled out his order for every branch of the bureaucracy,

all the bureaucratic branches under the executive branch. And so he told every single one of them, I need a report in six months. And he broke it into four different areas, the redesign of the financial system, the code to make this digital system work, the enforcement, how are we going to force people into this thing? And then the fourth one was climate impacts in order to sell it. So every branch of government had responsibility to report back to him in one of those four.

They did that in September. We were not shown that report. Instead, we got a pilot program by the Federal Reserve. Now, all of that is one track. On the other track is FedNow, and they're going to converge. It's going to be a train wreck for us. So, again, this is like that. But I said back in May when this stuff happened,

there was something else that happened. I'm sorry, not May, March. March of this year. Elizabeth Warren comes out, we got to have it. Biden says, yeah, let's have a report. Everybody in government tell me how you're going to do one of these four aspects. And then there was something else that happened. There was the global sanctions

and i said on march the 25th of this year i said they're going to use that as justification for a global currency control a new system to weaponize this. Here's a report. They are going to take this conflict. They're going to extend it long enough. And if they extend it long enough, they will say, well, the only way that we're going to be able to keep these sanctions going is if we have a central bank digital currency. And it's going to going to be able to keep these sanctions going is if we have a central bank digital currency. And it's going to have to be a global digital currency, most likely. You see, this is going to be the excuse, the crisis for them to usher in the global currency in the same way that they had to have everybody get vaccinated. Well, that implies then that we have to have a vaccine

passport. If you're going to have economic sanctions to make sure that the Russians or somebody, whoever the enemy of the day is, to make sure that those people aren't able to get their money, you're going to have to have the central bank digital currencies. You're going to have to have a worldwide version of that eventually. And that'll be necessitated by their manufactured crisis because that's what they want. And that'll be necessitated by their manufactured crisis. Because that's what they want.

Larry Fink is talking about that already. The CEO of BlackRock's got $10 trillion of assets under his control. This is crony capitalism. This is a merger of the technocratic corporations with the governments for global governance. And it's going to be essential for them to have their CBDC in order to make sure that they can enforce their sanctions against whoever, whether it is a country or whether it is an individual. They'll bring you to heel, and they'll do it with a CBDC. Well, that was March of this year. As we saw all these different things, the report going out, the battle cry,

we got to have CBDC, and we got to interact to international sanctions. So how did this thing roll out in Brazil? When they offered it in November of 2020, now they've had about half of the country, just a little over half the country, sign up for it. They rolled it out as successfully as the vaccine has rolled out in most places. Bear in mind that PIX, P-I-X, is not the Brazilian CBDC, says the Mises Institute. It's just a payment system.

However, the Brazilian central bank has access to all the transactions made through PIX. Therefore, PIX can be considered to be the seed of the Brazilian CBDC. It is already an invasion of the privacy of Brazilians, and FedNow is set to follow suit. You understand, they have many of the features. It is training wheels. How do they do this stuff let's see what was it that fauci said you do it from the inside and you do it with disruption and you do it iteratively right and so this is the iteration it'll have some secret features there that are very much

like cbdc it's not going to be the full 100 cb 100% CBDC, but it's going to have a lot of those features. But they can have plausible denial. Well, it's not CBDC because CBDC would like it. We don't have that capability, but it's the path to that, to get people signed on to that. The New York Fed and their pilot program, that's the other track. That was a 12-week pilot program. That's the other track. That was a 12-week pilot program. It's already started. So they're going to be finished with that first quarter

And that's how these things are going to converge. The pilot program, which is for CBDC, will converge with FedNow, which again, the name even says it now. I want it right now. You know, let's speed up payments.

The global financial messaging service provider Swift is also participating to support interoperability across international financial ecosystem. And that's very important. As Christine Lagarde, European Central Bank said, where do we stand? We central bankers, we have been operating as a monetary anchor in relation to the commercial banks and the private money. If we are not in that game, if we are not involved in experimenting, in innovating in terms of digital central bank money, we risk losing the role of anchor that we have played for many, many decades. And we have historical examples of period where the central bank monetary anchor was not there. And that precipitated crisis after crisis.

That certainly was the case at the time of the free banking in the 19th century. Do we want to go back to those days? Probably not. I would say so. Yeah. And of course, that was the justification for the creation of the Federal Reserve in the first place. I think it's interesting,

you know, when everybody talks about how censored Alex Jones is, and he is, but, you know, before they pulled everything, August the 6th, 2018, back in 2005, years before that, on the anniversary of the creation of the Federal Reserve, the 100-year anniversary of the creation of the Federal Reserve, I did It's a Wonderful Lie.

Many of you have seen it. I put it out every year, so if you watch the show, you've seen it. But that was the very first thing at InfoWars that was censored. Very first thing. And back in 2013, that was before they started censoring everything left and right over political narratives. Isn't it interesting? The reason that they sent, and, you know, they said, well, copyright violation.

It's not a copyright violation. It was fair use. The clips that I got, the small little clips, and I had a lot of content in it, but I used some clips from It's a Wonderful Life. The banker, Potter, was patterned after J.P. Morgan. The manufactured bank runs, the competition between the J.P. Morgan of that area, trying to shut down the local banks, the savings and loan. That's what this is right now.

It's what it's always been. And it had happened in spades after the great recession. All of the small banks that were dying left and right. It's one of the things in this interview that's coming up. I'm going to play that as soon as I finish this with Frank Nicely, Senator in Tennessee State Legislature, trying to get a state bank. Key to that is going to be getting local banks to understand

that this is going to be their only path to survival. Their only path to survival. They will all be gone. The plan is to get rid of all of them. Direct control by the Federal Reserve. The big banks will be brought in to the mafia, as always. But the local banks have thrived in North Dakota, the only place where there is a state bank. It made a big difference to teachers and other people and other places that states were issuing warrants and they were only paying them a big discount off of what their actual pay was. But in North Dakota, they got 100% of their pay through the Depression, things like that.

But it's really about this control. That's the real issue. We need to have allies in this, and we need people to understand that it's in their best interest as well to stand against this globalist cabal. But again, she comes back and says, well, we have to be the anchor. You realize they're tying an anchor around our ankles,

and they're going to throw us into the sea. That's what the anchor of this whole thing is. But it's the central banks. And I've played that clip. I've played this clip again. This guy here runs the Bank of International Settlement, which has been called the Central Bank of Central Banks.

This is what he has to say about CBDC. A key difference with the CBDC is that central bank will have absolute control on the rules and regulations that will determine the use of that expression of central bank liability. And also, we will have the technology to enforce that. Those two issues are extremely important, and that makes a huge difference with respect to what cash is.

With a CBDC, says the Mises Institute, it would be easier for the government

to carry out expansionary monetary policies, but also to exert greater control over citizens' finances. I don't support what Kanye West is doing. It's stupid. It's divisive. It's false in so many different ways. But if we are going to, you can see already the contours of how people are going to be

pushed out. Listen to what he has to say as a billionaire who can't do cash transactions because they don't like what he had to say. I went from being a multi-billionaire to not being able to use my Apple Pay four nights ago. I couldn't use my Apple Pay because somehow Adidas was able to legally go in and freeze my money. And when I see this, I think, well, if this could happen to me, this could happen to other Americans. And for what? You know, this can happen to an American that didn't even steal anything. Yeah, that's right.

Look at PayPal, for example. PayPal saying, yeah, we're going to keep $2,500. Oh, that's right. Look at PayPal, for example. PayPal saying, yeah, we're going to keep $2,500. Oh, that was a mistake. We never saw that terms of service. There wasn't any legal review. That just went out. I don't know who did that when there's a big pushback. Then they wait a few weeks and they put it back in there.

They knew it was there all along. And that's the way this is going to look. Whether it's done by the central bank digital currency or through their deputized surrogates. That's how it's going to look. Babylon B puts it this way. IRS agents slide down the chimneys looking for gifts of $600 or more. This is going to be how they're going to implement it. They're going to crush crypto.

Biden has already created an army of IRS agents. They're labeling anybody who is outside of their tightly controlled system, well, you are a money launderer or a criminal or something, right? You're bad. You're evil. If you get out of the banking system, it's the war on cash, right? And anybody doesn't go along with their war, you are the enemy. You are a traitor to us. You're trying to evade taxes if you are not using the central bank digital currency and all the rest of this stuff. Babylon B. We understand, said a special agent in charge of joy quashing.

We understand that people get caught up in the spirit of the season and all that. But we want to be a constant reminder that celebrating the birth of the Savior of the Universe is not more important than giving an account to the government for every single thing you have. The Jackson family of Muncie were initially surprised to find the black suited agents pouring out of their chimney and ripping open their presence, but they became cooperative after the father, Ben Jackson, was given an explanation and a brief sleeper hold. Yeah, I guess it's our patriotic duty or something, he said. So they said, we'll usually be entering through the chimney. Well, actually, no, you won't see them. What'll happen is your account will will just be empty to zero and you'll get

some kind of an electronic notification. That's what's going to happen. A lot of talk about how heavily armed the IRS agents are and anything. Look, they're going to be monitoring the stuff and auditing people constantly. This will give them an N right. Instead of coming down the chimney, it's going to be this new regulation from Biden for $600. That will be the way they get into your home, into your accounts, into your personal business. And then once they're there, they just, you know,

try to take and destroy everything. And America and CBDC is not the way to fight China's financial might, says Chris Hughes, who is at the New School, which is a leftist thing in New York. He says a few things frighten U.S. policymakers as much as losing to China in the race for global economic supremacy. Now this battle is being fought in the arena of currency. That's exactly what Lagarde was saying, right? The European Central Bank, the Bank of England, the Federal Reserve, they're looking at this stuff and saying, wait a minute,

we want to stay in control here. And we don't want to have some kind of a CBDC gap with China. He goes on to say this battle is now being fought in the arena of currency. Last year, the Chinese government launched a CBDC currency, giving consumers the power to hold a digital yuan backed directly by the People's Bank of China. So now we've got to do it. We can't let Xi have all that power. He says there's many reasons for China to issue a CBDC, just as the president of the Minneapolis Fed said. I can understand why they would want it.

Not the least, that they would be able to track every transaction users make, enhancing surveillance capabilities. Perhaps just as importantly, if the Chinese CBDC were adopted across the world, it would chip away at the dollar's global supremacy. A widely used CBDC would enable China and its allies to avoid Western sanctions and have greater say over the international financial markets. But who would want that? Nobody wants this thing when it's implemented. So it isn't the sort of thing where that's going to suddenly push things out of place. And it's like, Oh, well, we,, well, we got to catch up to them.

We got to stop printing. The dollars, cash dollars are widely being used everywhere in the world right now. No, no, no. It has nothing to do with that. It has to do with getting rid of any privacy, any anonymity, because that's evil. That's criminal. If you want privacy, you're a criminal. If you want cash, you're a money launderer or something like that. He says American CBD advocates interested in geopolitical and financial power want the Fed to issue its own CBDC.

They tout domestic advantages as well. For instance, the ability for individuals and corporations to conduct real-time, fee-less transactions with the currency fully backed by the U.S. Fed. We have that now. It's not just Venmo. You can use Zelle if your bank supports it. There's no fees to that. Again, for right now, it's useful, but we understand that it's training wheels. The idea is that such a CBD would be attractive to international investors,

would help to ensure the dollar remains the world's global reserve currency. If Congress, though, were to direct the Fed to issue a CBDC, it would have to choose either one that is designed to compete with China or one that causes minimum disruption to domestic banking arrangements. It cannot have both. In other words, you're going to go the full surveillance and control route, which is going to be very disrupting. Listen, isn't that what they want to do from the inside and do it gradually?

Or you can have something that will actually make your system better, some minimal changes to it. That's not what they want. It's just like with transportation. They don't even want to give us time to ramp up the manufacturing, the materials necessary for all this stuff.

They don't want us to have a more powerful grid. They want us to have a less powerful grid. This isn't about helping us at all. This is a war on us. It's not just a war on cash. It's a war on us and everything in our life. He goes on to say the Fed doesn't have to create a CBDC to remain competitive geopolitically, but it does need to quickly invest significantly more resources and offering competitive payment systems globally if it wants

to preserve as much of its sphere of influence as possible. No, they don't have to even do that. They don't have to make their system better to compete with China. We simply need to stop using the dollar, which is the world's reserve currency. We need to stop using that special status as a weapon. That's the problem. The biggest, we has met the enemy and they is us. We have the world's reserve currency allows us to spend money without any accountability. And so we're using that now though as a weapon

and it's going to get taken away. So the EU, so this is the next part of it, taking crypto out. The EU is going to force crypto companies to report their users' holdings to tax authorities. And how are they going to do that? How are they going to shut down all these different diversities? Well, it's not a theory. We've already seen it happen. We've seen it happen when China came in. As part of the digital yuan rollout, they said, you're going to stop mining in China. China had the biggest crypto mining facilities anywhere. And they just said, turn it off. Now, here you've got to have a reason.

Because you don't want people to wake up. And that's why the fourth component of the report that Biden sent out, the fourth aspect of it, besides redesigning the financial system, how are we going to beat people into submission and how are we going to actually implement it? The fourth component was climate. So the EU is looking at forcing non-EU-based companies

to register with tax entities there, just like Biden is creating the massive army of IRS agents. The EU commissioner for tax said anonymity means that many crypto asset users making significant profits fall under the radar of national tax authorities. This is not acceptable.

Enforcement of the measures and how that would happen was not made entirely clear as the cryptocurrency industry has various entities and actors residing in various jurisdictions, including some who claim no base of operations.

But they use power. And they can be found because they use power. And because they use power in significant amounts, they're going to paint them as the villains of climate. And that will be the basis. And that's why one quarter of Biden's plan is to focus on climate. That's going to be the justification for their authoritarian physical acts against people to shut this stuff down. The EU has said that it believes the move could generate as much as two and a half billion

dollars. And I see Biden comes up with four times that. He says, yeah, we're going to increase our IRS army of auditors, and we're going to get $8 billion. They said $2.5 billion in the EU. And so the EU central banker is pushing, Christine Lagarde, is pushing to ban Bitcoin under the guise of climate change. I've been saying this for the longest time. Cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin or Ethereum should be banned

due to their, quote, excessive ecological footprint. See? Biden's fourth objective. The person saying this is Fabio Panetta. He's on the executive board of the European Central Bank. He called for the European Union to ban cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin that use proof-of-work validation for transactions. The Italian economist said that due to the European Union's commitment to combating climate change, those, quote,

crypto assets deemed to have an excessive ecological footprint should be banned. They're going to ban it for the same reason they want to ban private cars. Control. Surveillance. Imprisonment. But of course they'll say it's to save the planet. It's the climate, MacGuffin. So that will be

the justification for the European Union, for the USA, for the UK, because, you know, they're not authoritarian dictators like President Xi. They can't just say, you got to shut this down. They have to have a climate justification for it. The environmental excuse appears to be a smokescreen, says Breitbart, for the real desired outcome by the European Central Bank, namely the formation of a central bank digital currency, CBDC. And the elimination of non-government controlled alternatives, such as Bitcoin and Ethereum.

And it's also going to eliminate local commercial banks. So, look at a future where there's no cryptocurrency, there's no local banks, everybody is dealing directly with the Federal Reserve, and they're watching everything that you do. Just remember that they rolled out the Federal Reserve and the central bank at the same time they rolled out the income tax. The two of them have always been joined at the hip. They are Siamese twins. And that was also a globalist initiative. Jefferson said at the start of his second term,

he said, by eliminating useless offices, we've been able to eliminate all internal taxation so that no farmer, no laborer, no mechanic knows the tax man. That is the polar opposite vision of the globalists. The globalists, when they took control, essentially said, we're going to have no taxes at the border. We are going to have all taxes internal,

the Internal Revenue Service and the central banks. In Jefferson's America, America was free. The federal government didn't involve itself financially with people. It collected taxes at the border, not within. But collecting it within is justification for knowing everything about you. Total surveillance, total control. Panetta said, only central bank money can provide an anchor of

stability. There's that anchor thing again. And I'm telling you, they're putting the anchor, tying the anchor onto your feet and throwing you into the ocean. The solution is to extend today's two-tier money system into the digital age. This system is built upon the complementary roles of central bank money and commercial bank money. Central bank money is currently available for retail use in only physical form cash. But the digitalization of payments is eroding the role of cash and its ability to provide an effective monetary anchor to throw you overboard. He's talking about the retail aspect of it. The retail aspect of it is when the local banks go away.

They'll do it first with, as they're rolling this out, you've seen the plans, one country after the other. We'll do it first with, as a rolling this out, you've seen the plans one country after the other, we'll do it in three stages. First one is wholesale only. So we're going to use it to process money, uh, between the federal reserve and banks. We're still in place and to transfer money across borders. The second stage,

they'll start doing a little bit, you know, after they've established that with a wholesale and brought the banks along with them. Oh yeah, this is good. I like this new feature. Then they will start experimenting with the retail. And then the third stage is to cut the throat of the local banks and to go straight to the consumer. So it would thus preserve the singleness of money and protect monetary sovereignty. That is the purpose control of everything.

So they're going to introduce legislation in the European union early 2023. This next year is going to be the year of CBDC, the CBDC plague. Now we had COVID a couple of years ago. Now it's going to be CBDC this next year is going to be the year of CBDC, the CBDC plague. We had COVID a couple of years ago. Now it's going to be CBDC this next year. The dangers of a central bank digital currency were laid out by the Bank of England itself, which admitted last year that they could be made programmable so the government could decide how you're able to spend your money,

so they could make it expire. They looked at this and they said, well, this is pretty dangerous to freedom. It's a big threat to freedom. So let's do it. Let's do it. The UK is preparing to introduce a digital pound. So we've got the European Central Bank, the Bank of England, the Central Bank there, as well as the Federal Reserve. They're all working on it. All at the same time. It's just like this shutdown the border between Canada and the U.S. that Biden and Trudeau all agreed had to be done.

Okay, we're going to take a break. And when we come back, we are going to, I'm going to play the interview that I did with a Tennessee Senator about the creation of a state bank here in Tennessee. Uh, just want to thank conservative. Thank you. Thank you for the tip. And he says, uh,

But as dangerous as all that is, as dangerous as the inflation is, we now have looming before us a central bank digital currency that is going to be a tool to see everything that we do and control everything we do. It's going to be the bars on an open-air prison. So what do we do about this?

There are things that we need to do locally, especially, and at the state level. And so joining us today is Tennessee State Senator Frank Nicely. And I want to get an update as to what is happening in Tennessee, because, you know, there's a Texas gold depository, precious metals depository, and there is a state bank in North Dakota. But there is talk in Tennessee about putting both of those things in Tennessee. So I want to find out the status of it, talk a little bit about how these things would work, and time frame this might happen. So joining us now is Tennessee State Senator Frank Nicely. Thank you for joining us, Senator. Well, thank you, Doug, for having me. Let's talk a little bit about, before we talk about the current status of it, let's talk a little bit about how each of these things kind of operate where they are right now.

Like in Texas, I know it was just a few years ago, I think it was in 2018, they put in their precious metals depository. What type of things have you seen from that, that, uh, you know, how would that work in, in, in Tennessee? And, uh, what are the people who are pushing this? Uh, what are they looking at to get out of that here in Tennessee? Well, you know, I don't hardly know where to start, but a few years ago, maybe 10 years ago now, Texas bought a billion dollars worth of gold for their teachers retirement fund. And that gold was probably half what it is now. And they were storing it in the bank in New York, the Federal Reserve Bank in New York. Well, Texas didn't want to store their gold in New York, so they wanted their gold in Texas. So they eventually built a depository and moved their billion dollars worth of gold to Texas. Well, North Dakota started a state bank in 1919.

And it's kind of like a wholesale bank. It supports the local banks and the local credit unions. North Dakota has more local banks than any other state. And they can deal, the local banks can deal with the feds or they can deal with the bank of North Dakota. I've had legislation in the past to try to get us to establish a state bank here on that magnitude. In North Dakota, all the state deposits are deposited in the state bank. Now local money and city and county, they don't have to put theirs. They can put theirs in the local banks. But all the state money goes into the state bank,

and individuals can deposit in the state bank. But the state bank only has one location, and they don't offer all the little programs and the goody stuff, you know, give away toasters and things like that. So they don't really compete with the local banks. They're there to support the local banks. And that's one of the problems is that we have to sell the local banks on the idea that the state bank, they said, well, we don't like

government, the bank of business. Well, you've had it all your life. We got to make them realize that the state bank, the wholesale bank, Tennessee would support the local banks. Now the federal reserve is slowly trying to put the local banks out of business. They're going to do that completely with the CBDC. I mean,

they're going to go straight to the customers and there's not going to be any local bank. And they've, they've talked about that openly. That is the plan. That's been the plan openly talked about since the Biden administration took over. But that's what all the central bank digital currencies are designed to do. They go straight to the customer. There will not be any local banks. I guess probably the really big banks that are too big to fail, they'll cut a deal somehow to be a part of it so that they can get them to partner with them. But all the local banks will be gone if we don't have something like a state bank, I think.

Well, that's true. And even though they're talking about it openly, as you say, the bankers aren't listening, they aren't paying attention. And it's sad. I mean, my economics teacher at University of Tennessee had married a Dupont, and he was a banker, and he said there's no other industry knew as little about what they were doing as bankers. Yeah, I have an experience with that as well. I used to talk about the Fed. I'm the kind of guy that, in polite company, I'll still talk about politics and religion. So I had a guy

who said, well, my brother is a, uh, is vice president of the bank and, um, branch or something. And he said, uh, tell David what the federal reserve does. And he goes, they don't do anything except clear checks. And I said, I don't even know where to start. You know, talk about the money supply and the interest rates and so many other things, but they're going to take over complete control. And of course you talk about the bank supply and the interest rates and so many other things, but they're going to take over complete control. And of course you talk about the bank of North Dakota.

It really has been an excellent thing for the local banks because if they've got a large loan, they have to partner with a big bank, many cases to get this done. But in North Dakota, they can partner with a state bank and the state bank isn't going to poach their customers. Exactly. Yeah. And there's many other things that they've done. They've got a very good local bank network in North Dakota, one of the best, and it's made

them very healthy. They've been able to negotiate down interest rates for the smaller banks and do loan guarantees for them and buy their loans from them and all these types of things. But, you know, that's just looking at what's happened in the last 100 years. It's been a great thing for the local banks in North Dakota, but there isn't any future for them whatsoever. If there isn't some kind of a state bank to get in the way of this direct to the consumer CBDC. You know, uh, you were talking about the feds there and I, I suppose you probably read the monster from Jekyll Island. Yeah. It was written by a guy named Ed Griffin.

Ed Griffin had written a lot of good books. Um, he's 90 years old and every year he puts on a conference called the Red Button Red Pill Expo. The Red Pill Expo, referencing back to the movie The Matrix, where you get up in the morning, you take the blue pill or the red pill. You take the red pill while you wake up and see what's going on and smell the roses. He got a whole cafe in Austin Pits the other day and thinking about having his expo here in nashville and if he doesn't possibly want me to say a few words that'd be great so that uh that was quite

an honor to have ed griffin who had written that book i had no idea still live books been around forever but anybody that's interested in the federal reserve at all needs to read the uh monster from jekyll island tells all about how it was started with the senators and all. Met in secret down there and came up with this plan. But anyway. Well, you know, I read the history of the Bank of North Dakota. And, of course, there was a lot of opposition to them from the usual suspects. You know, the big banks didn't like it.

Big corporations didn't like it. The federal government didn't like it. If you were to put this through in Tennessee, you're going to have all of those opponents, but it is the best thing for the people. It's the best thing for the local banks. How, how do we get that word out? And, and what is the status of this right now? You've introduced a bill.

Is that correct? Well, I haven't actually introduced the bill yet i'm okay i'm trying to see just exactly and i may end up introducing a caption bill that opens the code so they can put the details in later as we get more input from from all sides i've already talked to the bank a couple of the bank lobbyists and of course they say oh well we're a little area of the government getting involved in banking. But you know, Dodd Frank was the first step toward putting these little banks out of business. And this central bank digital currency will be the end of them.

We, a few years ago, the commerce committee, we passed the blockchain bill to allow blockchain here in Tennessee. At the time, I didn't know what blockchain was. I had no idea. But the blockchain evidently is an accounting system, the technology to allow the Mr. Global, as Catherine refers to him, the globalist. Whoever they are, you know, some frenchman came out the other day and said there's 38 people ruling the whole world and named 37 of them but he left one out i don't know who that is but um it's it's an accounting system where they can keep track of everything you buy and then who gets your money to track what they buy they can tax it when they want to they can

take your money away from you if you want to they can tell you you have to gets your money attracts what they buy. They can tax it when they want to. They can take your money away from you if you want to. They can tell you you have to spend your money in a certain time to speed up the velocity of transactions, to heat up the economy.

18plusgamblingcare.ie And it's just, it's sinister. We've had at least one Federal Reserve governor or somebody, one of the Federal Reserve banks, went through all that and talked about all the different things that they could do to confiscate your money, to control your money, to make it disappear. And he said, I can understand why the Chinese communists would want that, but why would we want that here in the United States? Because that is exactly what it's going to do.

It's going to be an open-air prison. It's going to be the bars of that. It's going to be a big brother system that is constantly monitoring and controlling everything that we do. They're going to measure how much or whether we can have different types of food and how much of it we can have, whether we can travel. I mean, we've got the smart cities that are rolling out their objectives, and they've made these public. We'll let you buy three items of clothing per year, perhaps, right? And we'll let you take a flight once every three years of 938 miles or less.

That's what they're talking about doing to us, and they will be able to enforce it if we don't stop this CBDC. So it really is a critical issue. I mean, we can always work on a black market society and we can always keep our own gold and silver and things like that, but it's going to be difficult. It would be much better if there was a legal framework at the state level that was going to protect us with this. So I really hope you can get that through. So you're talking about introducing that and we'll talk a little bit more about that. But give us an idea of where the precious metals depository bill in Tennessee is,

because it was something that was run through to investigate the feasibility of that, a study with that. And there's also a group that has been organized behind that as well. Do you know anything about that, What the status of that is? I know that Hosey from East Tennessee ran last year, and I think it went through all the committees in the House, and at the last minute, the treasurer, David Leonard, came in and put a huge fiscal note on it, said he needed a huge amount of money to hire three or four people to audit it all the time.

And this independent group says, you know, come in once a year and look at our books. huge amount of money to hire three or four people to audit it all the time and this independent group says you know come in once a year and look at the books you don't need to audit us all the time we'll do it but i mean we'll work with you you don't need to hire any extra help to keep an eye on us and so that stopped it last year but we'll we'll come back again see tennessee actually has a state bank now Now, some people say that the state bank's unconstitutional. We've had one for years. It's a small bank. The constitutional officers are the officers of the bank, and they use it periodically to put money in. But we could develop that bank and add the depository. And the depository you could buy and sell in gold. I could sell you a property and you could switch your gold in your account over into my account

inside the depository. Some people say, well, the states can't issue paper money. Well, they have all back through history. They call them warts, a a watch, a treasury watch, uh, same as paper money. And it can be back for gold, silver or whatever. But, um, yeah, the people that tell you that are the people who don't have any gold or silver backing up their paper. Right. Catherine Catherine, all fit said, you know, the central banks are buying gold.

I read the other day where China had bought 300 million tons of gold in the last little bit. There was a mystery buyer buying gold, and it turns out it was China. They're trying to buy gold. They bought a lot of it from Russia to fund the war. And, of course, right now, America has four times as much gold as China. Everybody worries about China, and they're buying gold like crazy but we still have supposedly a lot of gold now i remember when reagan tried to do an audit at fort knox he was never able to do it they wouldn't let anyone in to see if there's any gold at fort

knox or not i just got a feeling that gold in fort knox has ended up in the federal reserve bank vaults in new york yeah. Yeah. Could be. Yeah. You know, that that's talking about auditing, uh, the golden, whether there was anything there, uh, when you look at the Shanghai gold exchange, that's supposed to be where all the gold and the silver are for things like a paper, gold and paper, silver that are traded, uh, as, um, you know, kind of as derivatives, but who knows if it's there? I mean, I saw that was in Shanghai. I was like, well,

I wouldn't want to have anything to do with that. And so that's why it's important for people to have a physical gold in a depository that they can trust. And, um, it would be a big boon to the state of Tennessee, certainly to have that there. Well, is there a sales tax on, um, in Tennessee on precious metals? No, we, there was until this last on, um, in Tennessee on precious metals? No, we, there was until this last year, uh, reputated, but holes and I've

passed the bill to remove the sales tax from gold and silver this last year. So we don't have a tax on it now. Well, you guys are moving in the right direction. You're doing some good, some really good things to take the sales tax off and try to push for a depository and a state bank. You, you mentioned earlier that there is a Tennessee state bank. How does that work? Is it, I've not heard of that before. Well, it's a, I didn't know about it either, but I've talked, when I first started talking about a state bank with the treasurer, he said,

well, actually we do, we already have a state bank. And, uh, he said occasionally he didn't go into any detail, but occasionally we need to put money in our state bank. We use it to money through. So we actually already have one. So it's nothing like the one in North Dakota.

But it's technically a state bank. I think they call it the Tennessee Trust. Well, that's interesting. Talk a little bit about, since you're putting together a package to try to get a state bank through, talk a little bit about the advantages of a state bank, both to the state of Tennessee as well as to consumers. We talked a little bit earlier about the advantage to some local banks, but what are the advantages to the state, to the state and to, uh, the people of the state? Well, the state, we have a lot of money.

We have 50 billion dollar budget. When I, when I first came here in 1988, we had 8 billion. I think 1980 was Tennessee's first billion dollar budget. So when 42 years, we've gone from 1 billion to 52 we've grown a little over a billion a year for the last 40 years wow so that's 50 billion is a lot of money we also have 70 billion or we had 70 billion before the little downturn in the stock market i guess it's 60 now i hope it's still 60. yeah retirement system we've tried through the years to get someone interested in putting money in the retirement system but uh the treasurer says

well the retirement system needs to make six percent to keep it going and and he can't either he's afraid to go so wouldn't do that he wants to put it in the rainy day fund which either place would be five feet uh we've got like a three somewhere between a three and five billion dollar surplus right now in tennessee after we've abolished four major taxes we abolished the inheritance tax the gift tax the halls income tax and a professional tax and cut the tax on food and, uh, cuts tax for the farmers this year. And we're still having a billion dollar surpluses. So that's great. And that's what gave you the part of what gave you that

surplus is cutting taxes. It is, it is, but you can't explain it. I'm not smart enough to somebody, but I'll try it. But if we can figure out a way to do that to explain it to liberals so they can understand it they think it's a one-time thing even a lot of conservative things well it happened that time won't happen again well it happened all back through history it always does yeah and the bad thing is that they think that uh they'll talk about it being an expenditure uh or their money as if it's their money they think that they they own everything. And, uh, you know,

we, we can't give you any of this. It's like, wait a minute. It was our money to start with that you're taking, but yeah, it's just, uh, you know, taking, uh, less of a bigger pie and letting the pie grow. It's just that simple. But, um, so you, you got a lot of money in Tennessee. So are, how is that from the state standpoint? Is the state bank something that would greatly reduce their fees and things like that to make that more profitable? Well, at least we would know where our money, instead of having our money invested with the Northeastern banks in New York and around, we would know where our money was invested. North Dakota invested a lot of their money back in North Dakota. And, and, you know, like Ford coming in down here, you know, they're going to need a lot

of money. We can invest with them. We can invest in, we can invest in Tennessee. If we wanted to invest in wall street, fine, we could, but we would have more control over the money that we do have in our bank. And it really has helped the, uh, the state of North Dakota through the depression. Uh, you know, we could wind up having another one of those. There's nothing that prohibits that certainly with the economic perfect storm that's coming at us, but it helped, uh, to pay teachers during the, um, great depression. It's helped them through other economic downturns. It's helped them to reinvest money back into the infrastructure in North Dakota as well.

Yeah. And that gets teachers on our side. No, during the great depression, the teacher were paid with warrants. The banks would cash those in with 15% discount back in North Dakota would cash them in at face value. Yes. That made a 15% increase to the teachers. So the teachers and North Dakota appreciated the state bank. That's right. You know, cashing their warrants at face value.

That's right. Yeah, absolutely. For the consumers, what are the advantages for a state bank? Well, there are lots of them. I don't know exactly what in a 15, selling stuff to a consumer, you need to put in a 15-second sound bite, and I don't know, how you can boil it down,

to 15 seconds, if it gets to 25 seconds, you lose them. At LiveScore Bet, we love Cheltenham, just as much as we love football, the excitement, the roar,

and the chance to reward you, that's why every day of the festival, we're giving new members money back, as a free sports bet, up to 10 euro, if your horse loses on a selected race.

Main market excluding specials and place bets. Terms apply. Bet responsibly. 18plusgamblingcare.ie

But we'd have to work on that, how we're going to. But one thing, as people learn about this central bank digital currency, and they learn about the Federal Reserve going direct back in 2019, and when they bypass the banks, they bypass the local banks, where the consumer does his business down here at the local community bank, when the Federal Reserve in 2019 in Jackson, Wyoming, when they decided to give BlackRock the money and let BlackRock buy assets, they bypassed the banks. They went direct to get the money supply up.

And I've thought all along for years, you know, after a long run of inflation, you go into deflation, regardless of what the government does. And so the bank people weren't borrowing money fast enough to keep the money supply up at reserve currency for the world. And John Maynard Keynes, one of the few things he said that proved to be correct after a hundred years was that no one country needs to be the reserve currency, have the reserve currency. So they couldn't get the money supply up fast enough by running it through the banks,

even with interest rates that half a percent. So they had to go direct through BlackRock. And BlackRock's buying up, they buy whole subdivisionsisions pay 120% of what the developer's asking. They, between BlackRock Vanguard and state street, they own 10% of every major corporation on wall street. You read down what they, their portfolio and it is unbelievable.

BlackRock owns Vanguard and Vanguard owns BlackRock. And you ask, well, who owns BlackRock? It's BlackRock incorporated on BlackRock. Well, who BlackRock incorporate? You can't find out. You don't know. It's just all BlackRock? Well, it's BlackRock Incorporated owns BlackRock. Well, who's BlackRock Incorporated? You can't find out.

You don't know. It's just all a game. Yes, it is. And they're out of tricks. A lot of people think that the Federal Reserve is out of tricks. They've run this fiat money since 1971. That's the longest in the history of the world. Genghis Khan had paper money, and Marco Polo told him about it in Europe,

but he said he can only make it last seven years. Well, we've done better than Marco Polo and Genghis Khan did. We ran it two or three years now, so I don't know how much longer this fiat money will last. But I think the first thing we've got to do is tell people, listen to the guy from the federal reserve, when he tells you about central bank, digital currency, and how he's going to put it on your phone and how he's going to track everything

you spent and he can make you stay at home because you can't buy gas more than so many miles from home. That's right. And if that ever sink in, I think they'd say, well, maybe we better have a state bank and maybe we better at Tennessee issue somebody we were backed by silver, back with gold, whatever. And of course, if they did this, it would actually be, it would make the black market in Russia look like nothing.

Yeah. America we're good at everything. And we'd be really good at black market. Well, you know, and that is the fallback position, but maybe there's something we can do to keep from getting into the black market. No government regulations on the black market. Well, I think you're absolutely right. I mean, we don't need a soundbite.

What we need to do is educate people about what the CBDC is and what it's going to do to their lives. And they're making no secret of it. It is an open, that's the amazing thing to me about it. And I was very disappointed to see, you know, we just had elections and Joe Biden gave out every one of the executive branch bureaucracies instructions on reports that he wanted back. He did that back in March, the beginning of March,

and said, I want the information back in six months. And he broke it down into how you're going to completely redesign the financial system, how are you going to enforce this on people, some people who are going to design the software, and then how they're going to market it. And so they had this plan. They're rolling out. Their pilot is already happening right now. And all of the banks are doing this.

And they're doing it gradually. They're starting out at the wholesale level. And I guess at that point, maybe still even the local banks don't really understand what's going on. They'll say, well, they're just clearing checks, you know, like that vice president of the bank that my friend knew. Um, but, um, I think that the key thing we can talk about the inflation stuff and all of the things that have been prepared there, but you're right. It is the CBDC that is unquestionably the reason that we've got to have a state bank. All of the rest of this stuff has been looming over our heads and they may be able to keep this, um, you know, spinning the plate on the stick for a while longer, But this CBDC thing is coming after us.

And so it's not really about economics at that point. It's not about, well, can we make this a little bit more efficient? Can we help the banks to stay in business and thrive? Can we buy the loan rates down? All of these different types of things. It's no longer strictly financial. This is about surveillance and absolute control. And if people understand that, then they will go to a state bank.

And it really doesn't matter. Even if the state bank is more expensive, if we value our freedom. Well, you're exactly right. I mean, there's an India. I read the other day about a lady in India who had done nothing wrong, but the computer glitch, they cut her off and she, uh, garbage desk cause she couldn't buy anything with her smartphone and her friends got tired of feeding her. Maybe she didn't have any friends. I don't know, but it just, um,

it's unbelievable the control that they have through this blockchain and artificial intelligence. That's right. The Aadhaar system in India was, um, you know, brain trialed of Bill Gates and Rockefeller Foundation, the ID2020. I just talked yesterday to an individual who's from India. He's spent all of his life here in the U.S. as an engineer, wanted to warn people about biometric surveillance and smart cities and things like that. But he talked about how it was in India. And they gradually rolled this thing out, saying, well, you know, we'll give you some free services, but you got to sign up for the Aadhaar system and get that government digital ID.

And now it's essential if you want to do any business. And as you pointed out, if you don't have it, you're going to starve. They'll shut you off of everything. They'll shut you off of medical care, food, travel, everything. And we've already seen what that looks like in social media. We've seen what it looks like with a protest in Canada. If they don't like you, they don't like your politics, they don't like your religion, they will shut you off.

That's the whole point of all this stuff. So it is essential to our survival to get some of these things through. So I really do hope that you can make some headway there. And let me know. I'm in, um, you know, let me know, I'm, I'm in, uh, Tennessee, let us know, and I'll get the word out to people. Uh, get them to me and let me know. It's a, I could wear the infant stages.

We've got some good people working on it. And the interesting thing, most times in politics, when somebody comes with something, they're trying to make a buck off of it. The people that are pushing this, they're, they're trying to save America and save Tennessee for the grandchildren. They're not trying to make anything. They're just trying to save what we have. And that's the key thing. If you get something like this together and it becomes a bulwark against this CBDC, other states can do the same thing as well. All it takes is a couple of states

who understand what the issue is and can sell it and get it clear to people what is happening, and it'll start to catch fire. So it's going to be whoever does it first is going to have a real battle ahead of them because the other side understands this. The opposition understands this as well. Well, there's some powerful people in Alabama that are interested in this, and state compacts are perfectly legal. We're involved in lots of state compacts are perfectly legal we're involved in lots of state compacts with other states we can form a compact with a few states around us um perfectly legal that'd be great on each other's state money or whatever we have to do and i i tell people i said you know what a dixie is and i said well what do you know what a dixie is no i know i wish i wasn't dixie you know

what dixie was what was that the mason dixon what issued by the french banks and the ordons the orton jordan's bank would issue currency and uh and our bills called a dixie oh really yeah he was he was the old black gentleman that wrote the song. He was up north wanting to be back in the land of Dixie, land of the $10 French bills. I was in, uh, I was in Hong Kong and we were looking at the currency there. And,

um, and I started looking at it closely and very different colors and different designs for the same denomination, but they were all Hong Kong dollars and they were the same year and everything. It's like, what's going on with this? And then I realized they were, they had private banks there and this was about 15 years ago.

So I don't know if this is still the situation, but they had private banks who kind of operated the way we used to here in the United States before we had a central bank, you'd have a private bank and it would have to have reserves and it would issue script on that bank. And, you know, part of it was trusting that bank. So that's still 15 years ago, still the case in Hong Kong, like we used to have back in the early 1800s in the U.S. Well, the trust is the only thing that keeps U.S. dollar going. That's right. I've talked to people who travel internationally, and they say,

even though we're worried about the dollar, it's still the strongest thing in the world economy. People want to save money, they buy it, they have $100 bills. And so they trust America. They don't trust China. They don't trust Russia. So we've got that going for us and we hope we don't lose that trust. But if the central bank did some currency, that trust is gone. That's right. That's right. And they will quickly consolidate all of them with a global ID and a global CBDC.

But, you know, the other part of it is, is that we're weaponizing our currency at the same time. It's been a great free ride for them because relative to all the other fiat currencies, they look good, but we're using it as a weapon, and that's going to backfire. It already is backfiring. We've already got other countries that are working together to try to get around that system because they understand that we have essentially unlimited money that we can print if they don't stop that. And that type of thing has already happened with Bretton Woods too. They understood that after World War II and the Bretton Agreement, the U.S. was going to be the standard because we had most of the gold in the world. And then

the U.S. was not doing it honestly. They were issuing a lot more paper than they had gold. And so then that caused a bit of a crisis. They got the petrodollar out of that. But it is going to be, regardless of whether or not they reset the currency, regardless of whether or not we have massive inflation or even hyperinflation, it still comes back down to the CBDC. I think that has to be the issue on how we sell this, and it is a real existential issue, I think, to try to stop that thing. Let me ask you this, what you know about the rich nations, you know, Brazil,

Russia, China, India, they're trying to come up with the currency backed by gold and which would, uh, if they could do that and if it, it'd take a while, but if people ever got to trusting their currency backed by gold, that'd really be hard on the dollar, but if they come out with a currency backed by gold, how does that work in with these CBDCs, these central bank digital currencies? Well, I think they will still be fiat currencies because it's really about control. But, you know, they could make a case that it was a gold, that it was gold backed, whether

or not that was true or not. They could always run that out there. I mean, we ran that scheme for a while, even though we were printing more paper money. And so they could say, well, we got enough gold to back it, whether they do or not, whether they get rid of the gold under the table. But the key thing is that whoever can get this central bank digital currency established, that puts them in control. And once they're in control, they don't really have to worry about whether they're honest with the gold. I think they can pretty much do whatever they want. Don't you think?

Well, you have probably right. I think all bets are off. Once they get that, we're done. And so that is a very important thing. And we need to get the word out on CBDC. I hammer that all the time with people. And the problem is that people think that they look at these things and they think they're going to happen at some point in the future. They just don't think it's going to happen maybe even in their lifetime or the next few

years. And they don't realize how quickly this is intended to roll out. Every country right now is working on some kind of CBDC. Just as we saw with the pandemic, they all had this new approach to a pandemic, and that was to lock everybody down and keep them down until you got a vaccine, and they all need to take the vaccine, and they all got to get the vaccine passport and all the rest of the stuff. All of the countries were operating in lockstep. They were all doing things they'd never done before, doing the same thing at the same time. And it's going to happen again with this CBDC,

because these people got a plan. They want to get everything in place by 2030. The UN, World Economic Forum, they've got a set date. And as you know, successful people don't just have goals. They got goals and timelines. They've got a date that they want this established. And these people do. They've got a date that they want this established. And these people do, they have that date already set and they're going to be pushing us very hard towards that. I think. That was an amazing thing about the COVID shutdown is how coordinated

it was around the world. Yes. They were sending out test kits a year before the COVID came out to make sure all the third world countries had test kits. It is the whole thing orchestrated. Yeah. Coordinating. And the fact that they can do it around the world, but really amazing.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. We can say it's orchestrated. They won't say it was a conspiracy that we can say it's orchestrated and we're okay with that, but it was, it was all of those things. It was a criminal conspiracy. And the, the amazing thing is, is that they put the out there, and people don't even pay attention to them. The C40 organization, 75 cities, large cities, and they have put out specific goals about how they don't want to have any private cars.

They want to keep people within a 15-minute area. They're going to create neighborhoods where you don't have to travel more than 15 minutes and you can walk everywhere. And you don't ever need to leave that area. And you will never leave that area. They're going to prohibit you from doing it. And they will track you. And all of these things, the IDs, the passports, the currency, the CBDC, it's all designed to surveil and to control your movement, your purchases, everything about your life, what you eat, the clothes that you wear, and of course, whether you travel or not. So that is the world that they're designing for us. And it's just hard to get people to understand that they're serious about this and they have the capability to carry it out if we don't stop them. If we all stand up and say, no, we don't want that, we can back them down and we can do it peacefully.

But people just can't bring themselves to understand that someone would want to do this and that they would have the technology to do it. And that's the thing that is really dangerous to us, I think. You mentioned the word peaceful there. I listened to an interview several years ago about how to peacefully get out from under the Federal Reserve without a revolution or an economic downturn or whatever. And the way to do that is slowly the banks have their own state banks, their own wholesale banks, little mini central banks, whatever you want to call it.

And if the different states do that, then we gradually get out from under the Federal Reserve peacefully. I agree. Yes, I agree. Everybody likes peace. That is the goal. We can talk about the economics of it. We can talk about the financial advantages of it, just like we can talk about the advantages of having gold.

But all of this is about freedom and independence, independence from a central bank, independence from a global digital currency. These are the things that we're fighting for. All the rest of this stuff is going to be a long-term advantage for sure. But in the near term, we got to understand that we have to pay whatever the price is in order to get free of the CBDC and to get free of these other control mechanisms that they put in place. And there is a way to peacefully do it. It really is about education. I think that's why they work so hard to control speech and to control what people hear, to control the narrative, because if people understand the alternatives, it's going to be very clear to them what they need to do.

Thank you so much. Yes, go ahead. Why are Washington's congressmen and their senators, have you ever heard a congressman or a senator mention CBDC? That's what I was saying, yeah. We just had the election. I said, why haven't any of the people in Washington said anything about that? And that's why I said, the issue is going to be, I'm sorry, go ahead. Do they talk about the Great Reset? Do they talk about Federal Reserve going direct?

Why is Congress, are they all blackmailed or subdued or threatened? Why do none of them? I've never heard a congressman or a U.S. senator mention any of this. That's right. None of them. None of them. And that's what I said in talking about the last election. I said, you know, the solution is bottom up.

The solution is local communities and the state government because nobody at the federal government, they all know about it. It's being talked about by the Federal Reserve. It's being talked about the U.N. All the different governments are running programs. Why are they not talking about this? Biden is running this. Why wouldn't some of the Republicans say, you know what Biden is getting ready to do? Let me tell you what he's going to.

Nobody said anything about that throughout this entire election. That is a big tell isn't it what people didn't realize is the states created the federal government yes the states created the local governments the state is the parent the local governments and the federal governments are the children that's right we're the parents we're the drivers why Why are we letting Washington force this on us? Why are we not standing up more against them? The war between the states and the Great Depression kind of beat us down into submission and made us think that the federal government was the answer to everything and the solution to everything, but it's not.

It's the federal government's the problem. I agree. Yeah, but it's not. It's the federal government's problem. I agree. Yeah. Yeah, Reagan got that right. You know, they had, and I think a lot of it, Senator Nicely, is the fact that the federal government has this fiat currency. And so they can just shower money on people. That's how they get everybody to do everything that they want.

Would you like to have a couple hundred billion for a new highway or something? Well, we'll do that. Just do what we tell you to do everything that they want. Would you like to have a couple hundred billion for a new highway or something? Well, we'll do that. Just do what we tell you to do. And then also, conversely, you want us to take away all that money that we just promised you? Well, we'll do that if you don't do what we tell you to do. So that's the power of the Federal Reserve. The ability to just shower out all this money gives Washington unlimited power to intimidate, to persuade, to coerce the States, to do whatever they want. And so it is the federal reserve,

I think that has really turned the States into the slaves of the federal government. I believe. Probably, probably is. I mean, okay. Yeah. Yeah. But we, if we get some, uh, more senators like you, uh, we can change this. Thanks. I really Well, we, if we get some, uh, more senators like you, uh, we can change this. Thanks. I really do appreciate what you're doing. And again, uh, you know, let me know and I'll, I'll put information out to people in Tennessee, see what we can do to, uh, help. But I think the key thing that we have to focus on is this CBDC and educating people about that. Yes.

Well, I do too. And, and when the federal reserve is openly talking about it, I mean, they should believe it. I mean, it's almost like they, they got here, but can't hear. Yeah. They don't want to hear. Yeah. Well, thank you very much, Senator nicely. Thank you for having me. Anytime. Appreciate it. Bye-bye. The Common Man. They created Common Core to dumb down our children. They created Common Past to track and control us. Their Commons Project to make sure the commoners own nothing and the communist future.

They see the common man as simple, unsophisticated, ordinary. But each of us has worth and dignity created in the image of God. That is what we have in common. That is what they want to take away. Their most powerful weapons are isolation, deception, intimidation. They desire to know everything about us while they hide everything from us. It's time to turn that around and expose what they want to hide. Please share the information and links you'll find at thedavidknightshow.com. Thank you for listening. Thank you for sharing. If you can't support us financially, please keep us in your prayers.

thedavidknightshow.com All right. And it's great to have people who, at the local level, who understand what is happening. And, of course, at the local level, they can make it worse. But that is where the rubber meets the road. That's where everything has to, you know, comes together. And it certainly would be an interesting synergy, wouldn't it? If we had in one state, a precious metals depository, like they have in Texas and a state bank, like they've got in North Dakota, we we've got to have people who understand where this is going, and it truly is amazing to me what you heard Senator Frank nicely say,

and I've said it myself. How come nobody in this last election was talking about CBDC? They all know. I mean, you don't even hear that from Rand Paul, although Ron Paul, his father, is talking about it. Ron Paul has always been about the Federal Reserve. Silence everywhere. You don't hear it from Marjorie Taylor Greene. She's no stranger to controversy. She's always mixing things up, but she doesn't want to talk about CBDC for some reason. None of them. None of them. Anyway, let's talk about

what is happening. And I want to thank Annietton who left a tip while that was running thank you very much annie appreciate that my son said by the way when he saw that central banker to remind him of kingpin from spider-man and we're not just talking you know the physical appearance but also you know what the guy is doing he is a upper level gangster for sure new york city health officials urging new New Yorkers to wear masks amid a rise in the tridemic cases. Uh, something else he said to me,

he says, yeah, they don't have a, they don't have anything they can use to scare you. They just make it up. They make up a new word. They change the definition of a vaccine or whatever, whatever is necessary.

You know, forget about, uh, words that show exactly what they're doing. We'll make up something else. We'll call it woke or whatever. As I said before, no, it's political correctness, but, um, yeah, the, the point of this in case you don't understand is this not ending. We're on day 1,005 and counting, and it's not going to end.

This is a pause, but now they're ready to put it back in. The game is still going. It's still being pushed, this panic, this fear. This is NBC headline. New York City health officials urge New Yorkers to wear masks amid a rise in tridemic cases. More fear porn, pushed by NBC, pushed by the Drudge Report over the weekend.

They said in a tweet, the New York Health Commissioner said in a tweet, while respiratory viruses are spreading at high levels in New York City, aren't they always? There are common sense ways to protect yourself and your loved ones this holiday season. Vaccination, boosters, wearing a mask indoors or among crowds and just staying home. Yeah, there you go. Well, uh, it isn't going to end anytime soon. Uh, they love the power that they have. And just to underscore this, I had several people send me this link to the germ game 2022 that just ran in October catastrophic contagion as the name of this one. Remember the

first one and I'll, I'll mention this again. And, and, you know, uh, RFK jr, uh, had talked about it in his Fauci book. I've been talking about this from the very beginning. As a matter of fact, you know, goat tree, I knew about dark winter and I and I talked about that, and it was about a year and a half before all this stuff got pulled on us, and Goat Tree said, you know, I'm hearing a lot of buzz about Dark Winter 2. Oh, and so I just kind of name-dropped that. I said, yeah, I'm hearing there's a lot of Dark Winter 2 stuff going out there. Then we saw it. But they had been practicing Dark Winter 2 months before 9-11, the first one

of these germ games. And then a week after 9-11, they had the anthrax false flag attack, and it was a false flag. They blamed it on Iraq and subsequent investigations. And I've had interviews. Go back and look at the interviews I had with lawyers for 9-11 Truth, lawyers committee for 9-11 Truth. They went back and reopened the data.

As a matter of fact, when you look at the anthrax attack a week after 9-11, you had several people die. But New York Times and Washington Post said, yeah, this is a false flag attack. This is being attributed to Iraq. Nobody believed that. And it got even more unbelievable the more it was investigated. And now there's even more information that's come out. It was new information about a year ago when I talked to the people with a 9-11 committee for lawyers,

9-11 committee for truth, 9-11 truth. And more information has come out that links it back to a couple of bioweapon places that were run by the CIA, had CIA links. And they were the only ones who were able to create that particular strain of anthrax and weaponize it in that way. And so they do that one week after 9-11. They've had the simulation two months before the first one of these germ games. And then two months after that false flag, they ran through, pushed out model state legislative

ideas to all the different states and said, here, do this, enact this legislation for health emergencies. And they did. And then they practiced it every year at least once. And then the same type of stuff. And then made it happen for real in 2020. But they're still playing these games, which tells you that they're still going to do it again.

They're going to ramp it up. They're going to ramp it up. They're going to do more. Who is it? It's the usual suspects. Johns Hopkins has been involved in every one of these germ games. Bill Gates as well. And partnership with the WHO again, all the same,

the usual suspects, October the 23rd this year, they ran this. An extraordinary group of participants consisted of 10 current and former health ministers, senior public health officials from all these different countries, as well as, of course, Bill Gates, the world's preeminent medical authority. A fictional pandemic set in the near future. Participants grappled with how to respond to an epidemic located in one part of the world,

but then spread rapidly, becoming a pandemic with higher fatality rate than COVID, disproportionately affecting children this time and young people. Participants were challenged to make urgent policy decisions with limited information in the face of uncertainty. Each problem and choice had serious health, economic, and social ramifications. This is the way every one of these things, going back to the first dark winter, every single one of them operated this way. And every one of these simulations, heavily tied in together with CIA people, as well as Fau uh, you know, Fauci world health organization, other people like that, every single one of them, you know,

they would do this simulation for a couple of days. They had people doing news broadcasts about how it's spreading and all this kind of stuff to feed this back to them. And in every single one of these, they told them everybody died for two reasons. Number one, you didn't go draconian enough. You tried to go easy on people, and that caused everybody to die. They got out of control because you weren't draconian enough. And then the other part of it was everybody died because you didn't rush a vaccine out that was not tested.

We've seen this game over and over again. I got an email from a listener who's in the military, and he writes, he's in the Navy, he said, good evening. I was wondering, for military members like myself who refuse the COVID vaccine on moral conviction and belief in Jesus Christ, do we stay in? Do we seek alternative means of employment because of the CBDC well I can't tell you what to do everybody has to make their own decisions I'll just say this we desperately do need people of integrity

inside the military that's why they're so desperate to push them out however understand that if you make that decision it's going to be a rough road for you because they you are in the crosshairs. They don't want you in the military. This is a club that is going off the rails, and they don't want people with integrity and moral foundations, and people are going to stand with the Constitution. They don't want those kinds of people there.

They're selecting to get them out. So you're making a personal investment in this. And as many people in the military are seeing, they are going to perhaps destroy that investment that you made in time, in that career. As this stuff was rolling through and the NDAA, as Congress is putting that in the NDAA and saying, and they approved it, and it's just now waiting for Biden's signature.

30 days after that is signed, the Pentagon must stop kicking people out of the military if they're not vaccinated. However, as this story from the Epoch Times shows, as that was passing, the day it passed, you had yet another army captain separated from service for refusing the vaccine. As the House was passing the bill to rescind the military's vaccine mandate. They are obsessed with this. Everybody must have the vaccine.

You look at what the military is doing. You look at what the hospitals are doing. That has been the seminal thing from the very beginning. This obsession with the vaccine. And using the vaccine as a tool to push ID and passport and all the rest of this stuff.

Kicking people out of hospitals, not letting them have healthcare, not letting them have transplants and all the rest of this stuff. It's absolutely insane. Forcing blood transfusions of people who are vaccinated, not allowing you to store up your own blood and not allowing you to have donors. That's what's happening everywhere outside the U.S. As my interview on Friday showed.

But, you know, that's always been standard procedure. We've got to change everything. We've got to worship the vaccine, worship the blood of the vaccine. I mean, nothing can be allowed that questions the vaccine. And so this is Captain Steven Rogerson. This is suing him. I'm sorry. So they don't want to use his real name.

He's been in the Army for 17 years, and on December the 6th, a three-person administrative board voted to separate him from the service. On the same day, the House passed the NDAA with a provision that that would stop. And in this article from Epoch Times, they refer to, uh, Davis Shots, who I interviewed, uh, last week, I think it was last week, maybe it was a week before that. I don't know. He said, um, the soldiers like, um, uh, this army captain are falling through the cracks of a failed policy at precisely the wrong time. He said, the captain said, rather than accepting my exemption, they gave it to the command surgeon who overturned it and took measures to deny it without the

authority or policy in place to do so. Those things are going to be in my record unless there is some sort of language requiring the military to take out the adverse actions given to soldiers who refuse to take the experimental vaccine. But here we are after over a year and this same Congress, I mean, they could have done it last year. They could have done it. Couldn't they? Right.

Why didn't they do that last year before all of this stuff started happening? You know, it was only in September that the Pentagon and Biden started making this military before all of this stuff started happening. It was only in September that the Pentagon and Biden started making this military vaccine mandate. Congress could have done this with last year's NDA, but they chose not to. And then this year, they chose not to do anything to help people who have already been kicked out, not to reinstate them, not to reinstate their benefits

if they were kicked out for this reason. And so it continues. These people really do not have your back and they don't care about the Constitution. And that includes the Republicans who are there now. The reason that's happening now is because Kevin McCarthy is in a fight for the speakership in the House. That's the only reason that's happening.

And some of the conservative elements are putting pressure on him. He could have done it last year, but they didn't do it. Anyway, David Shantz said there are still a lot of people in the Army and the Coast Guard that have a letter of reprimand in their file for refusing the vaccine. Many have

not been promoted. They have been restricted from travel and have had other actions taken against them. And that, you know, to the listener who asked me that question, that's the kind of, that's what you're going to experience if you stay in. Because of this, the military's position could be that service members violated the initial order when it was a mandate, and they're still going to move to kick them out.

So I need to get him back on for a brief update. He said, for example, if the Air Force case goes to trial next year and we lose, a whole bunch of these people already have a letter of reprimand in their record or have had other adverse action taken against them. And because of this, the Air Force could still punch them and kick them out for disobeying a so-called lawful order, said Davis-Shantz. Well, a study comes out from Nature, dailyskeptic.org has it. They said, well, this won't be any revelation to the people who read the Daily Skeptic. It won't be any revelation to people who listen to this program either. But this study from Nature,

that many people consider to be the world's preeminent scientific journal, they've published a peer-reviewed study saying that the unvaccinated were victims of discrimination during the pandemic. Really? Oh, well, I guess we didn't really need to have a study about that. We kind of lived it, right? So the abstract says, in part, says, during the COVID-19 pandemic, sizable groups of unvaccinated minorities persist in countries with high vaccine access.

Consequently, vaccination became a controversial subject to debate and even protest. No, there wasn't any debate. It was censorship. Censorship. We quantify discriminatory attitudes between vaccinated and unvaccinated citizens in 21 countries across three conjoint experimental studies. We demonstrate that vaccinated people express discriminatory attitudes toward the unvaccinated as high as the discriminatory attitudes suffered by common targets like immigrants and minority populations. In contrast, there is an absence of evidence. Let me just say this. There's nobody kicking people out

of restaurants or buses because their skin color in America, but you got kicked out of all those places because you wouldn't wear a mask or take a vaccine or have your ID or whatever. It's far worse, far worse than any other form of discrimination that's happening. Immigrants are not being kicked out of America. They're being given a free ride. They were letting, Biden was putting immigrants who came across the border on planes, but you couldn't get on a plane unless you followed their COVID rules. So, um, uh, going back to this says in contrast, there's an absence of evidence that unvaccinated

individuals displayed discriminatory attitudes toward vaccinated people, except for the presence of negative effect in Germany and the United States. He says, consistent with this, the present findings suggest that contributors to the public good of epidemic control. In other words, the vaccinated.

So you have, this is how nature says nature magazine says the vaccinated are contributors to the public good. No, you're not. You're just harming yourself. That's what they wanted you to believe. That was what the psy-op and the war gaming of how they were going to,

the lies they were going to tell people from Yale. That was part of an NIH study. That was what that was all about. So the contributors to the public good of epidemic control, the vaccinated, reacted with discriminatory attitudes against perceived free riders, the unvaccinated. Elites and the vaccinated general public appealed to moral obligations to increase vaccine uptake. But the present findings suggest the discriminatory attitudes, including support for the removal of fundamental rights, simultaneously emerged. Well, you know, that was all planned.

That was part of the narrative. That was before they rolled this out. They published a study that they had already done in the summer of 2020. There were long ways from rolling out the vaccine. They'd already gone through and said, well, we'll tell people it's a miracle of science. We'll tell people that it's for the public good. And we'll demonize people who don't get it. All of that

was a psyop. All of that was planned manipulation. And so this isn't something that just happened. You don't need this study if you've seen the Yale study that was published in the NIH in the summer of 2020 that I showed people. Let me catch up to some of the messages and tips on here. Thank you very much, Brian.

Pits, he leaves a tip on. He said, I think Musk bought Twitter just for the quantity of live information, which can be included in his AI learning software. I agree. I agree. That's also why he is marketing it as a free speech platform, to try to get more conservative perspectives uploaded so the system has a more complete picture of the playing field, and that way they can better manipulate people.

I agree. I think that social media in particular, but in general, all of the internet has been from the time that switching circuitry started making it practical in the late 1990s. That's when all of the intelligence agencies got involved. That's when you had the rise of geospatial intelligence, the fastest growing part of the intelligence community. That was all so they could get the lay of the land and see how the propaganda was working and to identify people's political and religious beliefs. That's what it's all about. Facebook, the day that it started,

was the day that they shut down total information awareness because people thought it was creepy for the government to do it, so the government did it through private individuals. You had all of these people from the NSA and the CIA and all the rest of them sitting on the boards of venture capital firms, the CIA going public with a venture capital firm, In-Q-Tel, for those very purposes.

That's how important it was to them. And so Elon Musk is somebody who has been at the, he is somebody who has worked with the military industrial complex. He's somebody who has worked with every single government on earth to become the richest man on earth. Don't tell me for a moment that he is some altruistic billionaire who is fighting for our freedom. Yes, he's getting opposition. Why? Because it's a game of thrones.

These people want to be the leaders of the world. And he's the guy to take down. They understand the game that he's doing. Conservatives don't. Which brings me to this story from Vaccine Impact. And here's the title. Freemason, Satanist, Technocrat, Elon Musk, the new idol of the Christian right.

Yeah, Brian is exactly right about that. He's not afraid to call out the elephant in the GOP room, which right now is Elon Musk. We've got a new billionaire. He's going to be a Pied Piper just as Trump is fading. Trump has served that role. And pull up that article because I want people to see this picture. I saw something in this picture.

Again, it's vaccine impact or health impact. But you saw that vaccine impact as this is starting to as an alias over to it. That's the one that I always remember. And, uh, scroll down a little bit on that picture. Now you've seen the Baphomet thing on his chest. This is his Halloween thing. And this is his, uh, profile on Twitter, but scroll down a little bit further and look at, you know, the, the things on his forearms there, right. And this, uh, Roman, uh, you know, soldiers costume on his forearms, he's also got the Baphomet head

with the upside-down cross, satanic symbol. But, you know, this guy is hero of the Christian right, isn't he? Isn't that funny? As Brian points out, he said, Freemason Donald Trump has competition among his faithful followers on the Christian right. A new savior is being crowned in the conservative right alternative media. Elon Musk set out to save civilization when he bought Twitter and he meant it.

This is the gateway pundit saying this. Gateway pundit. He set out to save civilization when he bought Twitter and he meant it, says the gateway pundit. Can you believe that? They go on to say, gateway pundit. Civilization can only be saved through free and open communication, not behind walls constructed by elitists and totalitarians. On Saturday, Musk released the Twitter files, part four,

on the company's discussions on the censoring and the banning of President Trump. And, of course, it's not just the gateway pundit that's saying that. You have James Woods going on with tucker carlson and they both agree that you know elon musk is saving civilization and i said at the time i said no free speech is much bigger than twitter it's much bigger than elon musk and we have problems that are much bigger than them as well. Alex Jones on the same take with us. You know, I mean, it's just amazing to see these people worshiping him. And as Vaccine Impact points out, Pastors for Trump Coalition was formed for 2024. Jackson Law Mayor, the Oklahoma U.S. Senate candidate who took on anti-Trump incumbent James Lankford has launched a new organization to rally the evangelical faithful to Trump's corner for 2024.

As Brian says, Pastor Lehmeyer gained recognition during his campaign for offering religious exemptions to help people escape the vaccine. Think about that. This is a guy who still, and this is the way it is with most conservatives, they still have this compartmentalization about the warp speed lie. This is something that was produced by Trump, and he continued to champion it to the extent that Alex Jones had to say, well, I said I'm done with Trump, to try to distance himself from that.

Because it was so obvious that he was cheering this. Look, as I said before, think of it as a film. The script was written by the World Economic Forum and the UN and Bill Gates and the rest of these people. It was directed by Fauci, but it was produced by Trump. He's the guy that provided the money. He's the guy that provided the advertising for the movie, right? The producer.

The director is the nuts and bolts of the stuff, but the producer who keeps the thing going. And he kept producing for them, even after he left the presidency. That's the greatest thing anybody ever made. I did it faster than anybody could have ever gotten a vaccine out there. Well, I'm sure your globalist masters are pleased, Donald Trump, and your base can't connect the dots that keep holding these. It's a true example of double-think in our time, that people could cheer Trump, the father of the vaccine, and he called himself that. I call him Benedict Donald.

Anyway, Trump made it clear, says this pastor, he made it clear during his 2016 campaign for president that he was committed to bringing Christian leaders into the fold. And during his historic first term, he proved that he would deliver on the promises that he made. What? Who did he make? What promises did he deliver on? Did he make promises to Klaus Schwab and Bill Gates?

Because he really delivered on that. Anything, any minor changes that were made in the first three years, and they were minor and didn't do anything about the border, but any minor things that he did in terms of energy, he just got out of the way and let energy sector started to create. All he did was get out of the way there. But his accomplishments were meager, if nonexistent, but then he went to war with us in 2020.

Never forget that. Never forgive that from Trump. He's had his opportunity. He's shown his true colors. And so now we've got to have somebody else that's going to do this. And as he's starting to fade, as many people are starting to realize this, voila, we have Elon Musk. So what could be more insane, says Brian,

than a pastor who gained recognition during his campaign for offering religious exemptions to help his fellow citizens escape the deadly vaccine that was created by Trump. And now he's starting an organization of other pastors to put back into office the very man who funded the gene-altering shots and pressured the FDA to pass it. So I said from the very beginning, call them GCIs, genetic code injections musk will soon be joining forces uh and with trump and turning twitter into the world's largest surveillance tool in the u.s yeah i agree with what the listener just said so he says get to know elon musk the technocrat billionaire the richest man in the world the man who loves the china model of society he He's done business in China. He can do business with China.

He can do business with the Pentagon. He can do business with everybody, and he has, and that's how he became the world's richest man. He does business with the military. SpaceX is rolling out a new business called Starshield. And let me just say, not the military, but the Military Industrial Complex, Pentagon. It expands on the Starlink internet satellite technology

for its largest customer, the Pentagon. While Starlink is designed for consumer and commercial use, StarShield is designed for government use, says Musk's company. Let's understand, too, Operation Warp Speed was a military operation. Always was from the very beginning. Don't get me wrong. I'm glad that Elon Musk is dumping all of these Twitter files. See, and I agree, but we have to understand as he does, and I do, and I hope you do. This is just the boosting phase.

It's like when Trump was saying, yeah, you know, they lied us into the war in Iraq, and then he promotes to the head of the CIA the person who tortured and lied us into, produced intelligence lies by means of torture. He made Gina Haspel the head of the CIA. It's important to build credentials with people by saying certain things. And have you noticed that over the weekend,

Elon Musk is now coming after Fauci? I mean, he's using this as his booster to get into politics. And there's a lot of different ways. He can't be president unless they change the law, but who knows? He might become so popular that they will change the law for him. I don't know. But he doesn't need to be president for his model. I mean, he wants to be rich. He wants to control things. He wants to do business with the people who are spying on us, always has. He has become the king of crony capitalism by pushing the climate MacGuffin. And so you look at all of these different things. You look at his background and you understand that his grandfather was kicked out of Canada because he tried to overthrow the government and institute a technocracy.

That was his grandfather. He is talking about brain-computer interfaces with Neuralink all the time. He's the one who's telling us we have to merge with machines. He, like his friend Peter Thiel from PayPal, Peter Thiel was one of the founders of the singularity, the merging of man and machine. Both of them are into the satanic agenda of transhumanism. You need to know who these guys are.

It was an amazing move for him to go to Babylon Bee and then to buy Twitter and position it as if he was saving a Christian satire site from being censored into obscurity or something. Now, there's other ways to communicate with people outside of Twitter. And we have to understand that this guy is not on our side, if we're on the side of God.

He's pushing all of these things that are antithetical. So anyway, yeah, I have no doubt, says Brian, that everything one tweets on Twitter is stored in a database somewhere and contributes to your online profile, which will then be linked to a China-style social credit score at some point. You see, that information, you don't have to have Elon Musk own Twitter for that information to be stored. Public information, things that we all put up on Twitter and on Facebook, that can be scraped off by anybody. It can be scraped off by

our government. It can be scraped off by other governments. It can be scraped off by corporations. It can be scraped off by any kind of criminal. So it's all there. It's public record. And so you don't need to own Twitter. But Twitter had lost its credibility. And so it's necessary for Elon Musk to come in and restore its credibility and to bring back the conservatives because we really are the targets, as a listener pointed out. They really need that data from conservatives. And if we're going somewhere else, Oh,

Hey, they need to get us back there. That is the purpose that he's putting there. So everything that you're putting out there is being stored. Do we use against you in the future? I'm toast by the way, we're doing that. Um,

Rick, uh, uh, Rick Fife, uh, thank you on Twitter. Uh, I, on Rockfin, thank you for the tip. He says, the shrewd person sees danger and hides himself, but the naive keep right on going and suffer for it. Proverbs 22.3. Well, that's what I'm doing. Thank you for you and your family's hard work. We unplugged from TV news two years ago, and we count on you and a few others to scour the news and give us your biblical view.

God's grace knows no bounds. Well, thank you. Thank you. I appreciate that. Uh, a woots. Thank you for the tip.

He says, uh, Mike Lee introduced S 48 31, no CBD act. And Thomas Massey has spoken against CBD. Well, good. I'm glad I wasn't aware of that.

I've searched everywhere to see, and I've searched, uh, not for Mike Lee, but I searched searched everywhere to see, and I've searched, uh, not for Mike Lee, but I searched for Thomas Massey, search for Rand Paul, Chip Roy, Mary Taylor, Marjorie Taylor green. Oh, I couldn't find anything from anybody when I was searching it. So I appreciate you pointing that out. Well, good. No CBD C act. Thomas Massey has spoken against it. Uh, it's up to us to keep on the pressure and raise awareness. Uh, I agree. Yeah. Google could be hiding. Well, I didn't use Google. My son says Google could be hiding the information. I didn't use them. I use a brave, uh, to search. And, uh,

and then if I can't find it, I look on Google and this time I looked on both. I looked on Google and on brave search engine and I couldn't find any connections to any of those things. And that didn't show up when I did a search. So I'm glad that they've at least talked about it. I'll, uh, I'll have to look that up and see, uh, if it's gotten any support or not. Uh, there has been a bill introduced by a Democrat and a Republican that I was able to find pushing CBDC, but I didn't find anything opposing it. But getting back to where we are with this, it was a good article from CJ Hopkins over the weekend, Swimming with Sharks, and he's talking about what's going on with Twitter and with Elon Musk.

He says, so Elon Musk's new free speech Twitter appears to be going extremely well. Critics of the official COVID narrative and the official Ukraine narrative and critics of Elon Musk are still being deplatformed, censored, defamed. But otherwise, you can tweet whatever you want. I think there are, at least for the time being, easing back on the COVID narrative a little bit, perhaps. I don't know. But he says, if you want to tweet about how Elon is running Twitter almost single-handedly while personally caring for his nine hungry children and being a journalist without ever sleeping, or how he's driving down the cost of access to outer space or improving life on earth for humanity while planning to exfiltrate himself and his family and friends and the military community and anybody else who can

afford a ticket to Mars if something goes catastrophically wrong? Or if he is otherwise heroically, quote, doing God's work and all of those things he's got links to articles. There's a link thing, doing God's work. Well, you can tweet stuff like that all day. Okay, sure, if you don't want to do that

and instead you want to tweet about this systematic destabilization and radical restructuring of global society that's been carried out by the globalist cabal, ruling classes during the past three years, or the most insidious official propaganda and gaslighting campaign in human history, or if you want to tweet about neo-Nazis in Ukraine or anything else that Emperor Ilanikas doesn't want you to tweet about, well, not to put too fine a point on it, but you're going to get suspended, censored, de-boosted, visibility filtered,

or maybe your account is just hidden from view behind one of these fake sensitive content warnings that I've talked about so many times and shown so many times. Yeah, free speech Twitter. Again, it's a dodge. Whatever, he says, it's a small price to pay for the privilege of owning the libs. And he points out,

this isn't really about free speech with the conservatives, is it? It's about revenge. They would love to see all these people kicked off, and they cheer when they get kicked off, if they're on the left. They don't want to hold up the standard of free speech, for the most part. All these people kicked off and they cheer when they get kicked off. If they're on the left, uh, they don't want to hold up the standard of free speech for the most part. He says,

and then there's a release of the Twitter files, which is turning into a LaCarre thriller. Yes, that's right. Alonicus, the just is releasing in-house documentation on the rogue cabal of liberal bad apples that we arbitrary that were arbitrarily censoring conservatives, not for any systematic ideological narrative enforcement reasons, but just because, well, you never know.

As you know, they're liberal or leftist, they're cultural Marxist, whatever. Fortunately, it turns out that it was just a few bad apples. People like Yol Roth and Prag Agrawal and Vijaya Gade and other bad apples who've all been fired by Ilanikas. So now that is all over and will never happen again as long as Ilanikas reigns. I was hoping the Twitter files, he said, would at least broach the subject and how the global corporatocracy and its government functionaries and the state and corporate media and the global corporations like Twitter

have gone more or less full-blown totalitarian. But, you know, that's not the issue. The important thing is American red and blue politics. Yeah. Red, white, and blue, maybe. Or maybe not white, but, you know, a lighter shade of pale, as in a pile of people dying because of this vaccine stuff so um you know we look at his his issue and he goes on to talk about the fact that um he has a great deal of respect for barry

weiss's uh reporting and motives he knows mattibbi and has a great deal of respect for him. I've talked to Matt. He talked to me as part of this PayPal, the platforming stuff. And I got a small mention with it. But, you know, I think he's an honest guy. I've always liked his reporting at Rolling Stone. And it is important, as he points out, to cover the political implications of what was done. We now know that Elon Musk has said that they were shadow banning people running for office.

Certain candidates were being shadow banned. We had the sitting president of the United States kicked off of this platform. But, you know, long before that, we had the outrageous findings by court cases. I remember when it happened. And they said that Trump could not block people on Twitter, but that Jack Dorsey could kick him off. That happened a couple of years before they actually kicked him off. I said, think about that. Do you think that we have global governance by corporations when the CEO of a social media company can do things that the president can't do? President can't block somebody off his personal account.

We're not talking about the president of the United States official Twitter account. We're talking about Trump's personal account. He couldn't block trolls and there were a lot of them, but Twitter could block him completely and kick him off. And they did. And I said that all through, I said, you know, he deserves it. If he's not going to do anything to protect free speech. And he didn't, he could have used his bully pulpit. He didn't, he just went along with all that stuff. Uh, but anyway, he talks about it and he says, well, you know, not to criticize what they're doing,

and it's important what Matt Tiabi is doing and what Barry Weiss is doing, but he says they would be excommunicated from the hall of seriousness and cast out into outer darkness where the souls of COVID denying conspiracy theorizing anti-vaxxers moan in the void for all eternity. Because telling that story of what was done with the pandemic and what Trump did, uh, that, uh, would mean documenting everything. The fabricated COVID cases. Yeah. I talked about that from day one. I said, this is exactly what they do every year with the flu shot to try to convince people you're all going to die if you don't get the flu shot.

Same game the CDC played every year. It's just they didn't have the full court press of all the media and social media working with them. So, yeah, you'd have to expose the fabricated COVID cases. You'd have to expose the rigging of COVID death statistics. Did that too. The lies about lockdowns.

Yep. The masks. Yep. The vaccines. Yep. All of it. The whole new normal McGill. Not how it's quote over now because the science changed,

but how the whole thing was one enormous psyop from the beginning. And now we're 1,005 days into it. And so in the light of that, he says, here's a proposal for Musk and maybe Matt or Barry Weiss or any of these high-profile right-wing readers can pass it on to him. He says, do this. He says, share the COVID narrative censorship Twitter files with journalists or barry weiss or any of these hope high-profile right-wing readers can pass it on to him he says do this he says share the covid narrative censorship twitter files with journalists who want to tell that story let matt taibi and barry weiss keep telling the story they're telling

uh it is historically important but share the files with other journalists who don't have as much to lose or who are willing to lose it or who have already lost it, and they don't care about appeasing the powers that be. If Elon Musk is serious about coming clean and defending freedom of speech and all that stuff and not just whitewashing the company that he just bought and orchestrating an elaborate limited hangout, he can prove it by offering the COVID narrative censorship Twitter files to a few other journalists who want to report that story.

See, right now they're just focusing on the political side of this. Show us what happened with all of that. We're going to take a quick break and we will be right back. Stay with us Thank you. You're listening to the david knight show all right that makes me want to cover the general news we've got some funny stories coming up but watching that made me think of a symphony concert in germany and some climate protesters we've got a funny story about that but before we get into the humorous stuff uh still some more serious news. Gun shops and customers are claiming that credit card firms and banks are restricting their firearm purchases now. That was what it was designed to do. That and tracking people. But again,

it was Operation Chokepoint. Defunding gun stores. That was something that was put out by the Obama administration, Operation Chokepoint. And when you look at this push in New York to create this merchant category code, which they were successful in doing, there was a bank in New York that, heavily activist part of the New York City, New York State pension fund and things like that. So they got a merchant category code that is specific to people who sell firearms and

ammunition gun stores. And now what is happening is they are using it to block purchases. In September, Visa, MasterCard, and American Express all said they would adopt this MCC code to categorize sales at gun shops. Months later, several social media posts of alleged gun stores and customers claiming they can't use their credit card to buy guns. Twitter account Battlecock Tactical tweeted, Federal firearms license gun shop and a Facebook group shared this. Looks like the doomers, that'd be people who have a pessimistic outlook, cynical outlook on these things, kind of like me, I guess,

accurately called how that new firearms merchant code would go down. Show a picture, scroll down a little bit there, and you can see what comes up there. So here it is on the customer side. a transaction decline charge declined restricted card customer bank does not allow this card to be used with this type of merchant yeah see there you go that's what it's for so uh on the other side you see it from the other side of the terminal, and it says transaction declined. So they took a picture of it from both the merchant's side

and from the customer's side. Customer said he went down straight to the bank and brought to you by Forged Bank in Kentucky, by the way, F-O-R-C-H-T. This is spread outside of New York now. Customer went straight to the bank, closed the account. Another person responded and said, I had this happen with my PayPal credit card. I tried to use it to buy ammo at my local FFL and it was denied. Now the person said, I tried to buy a PSA dagger slide a bit ago and had the same issue ordering from their website with my debit card.

The credit card let me order though, he said. But anyway, it's starting to spread and this is what this is about. Now this is just, this is one of the reasons why I talked about CBDC. Just one of the examples. I'm sorry CVDC. Just one of the examples. I'm sorry, you're not allowed to buy that. Not allowed to buy anything at a merchant that sells guns. But it's going to be a lot more detailed than that. Sorry, you've had too much meat to eat.

You've traveled too far. You can't buy any more gas this month. You've had your allocation of that. They're going to use it to ration and control everything to surveil everything that we do. Now let's talk about the, uh, the concert here. Uh, we've seen these idiots everywhere engaged in, um, you know, um, these protests blocking stuff, uh, setting in streets so that cars can't go by. And you've seen the pictures of some of the people who just get fed up and drag them off of the road. But then they get back in the road and other people are blocked until they've had enough and will drag them off of the road.

We've had in Germany, we had some climate protesters go into a Porsche dealership and glue themselves to the floor, glue their hands to the floor. And then they expected the company to actually provide them with water and some kind of a bucket to go to the bathroom in. And they said, no, you're on your own. And they turned off the heat and the light and left. And so now we've got a situation. And here's what this looks like.

This is at a symphony concert, again, in Germany. And these two people wearing arm vests jump out of their front row seat and go up to the podium there where the conductor is and glue themselves to the podium. And listen, the crowd is not very happy. She starts making her speech, right? They're very close up. They're glued themselves to the podium.

But watch what happens. Security comes out and it's like, yeah, you know that railing that you're hanging on to? It just lifts up. He lifts it up. Now they're glued to it. And they just drag them out. Well, they're glued to it and they just drag them out well they're glued to the to the railing it's a railing for those of you who are listening and not watching there's a railing that they have on the back of the conductor's podium so it doesn't accidentally

walk backwards and fall off of the podium and they didn't realize that the thing just lifted up lifted him up and took him out and here's how the pathetic protesters look standing out there with their hands glued to an iron square. And there was also, and I think it was in Germany as well. Uh, there's a guy who glued himself to the road and, uh,

glued his hand to the road. And they came out at the, the headline was, um, uh, climate protester. They use a jackhammer on the climate protesters. Like, unfortunately, they didn't use it on the climate protester. They use it on the street.

A lot of people would like to take a jackhammer of these people. But they just used it on the street. And they chipped up the street underneath his hand and everything. And so he was freed. See a picture of him. He's still got this big chunk. Yeah, my son said they really looked like the type who would do this sort of thing. Yeah. The jackhammer, you got that article there.

Scroll down and see if you can get a picture on that particular one of him with it still on his hand after they get him up. Yeah, there we go. Look at that. And I could go further down and I think he's standing there with it. There it is. You can see that he's got this big chunk of asphalt glued to his hand and they leave that just like they left those two to figure out how to get unglued from the metal railing. They leave this guy to figure out how he's going to get the street unglued from his hand. And he certainly deserves it. So, you know, on realclearmarkets.com,

there's an op-ed piece that's picked up by Zero Hedge. To end climate lunacy, stop treating warming and CO2 hysterically. Now, I agree that we need to stop all the fear. We need to stop all the hysteria involved in this. But I disagree with what they're saying, strongly disagree with what they're saying. Because we have to attack the foundational lie. And what they're doing here is they're saying, well, you know, they accept the premise of global warming. They accept the premise of CO2 emission causing it and say, well, that's not a problem.

It's a good thing, you know. It's a good thing to have more CO2 because you get more vegetation. And maybe everything would be easier if the planet was a little bit warmer and all the rest of this stuff. No, you don't try to build, you cannot oppose this by accepting their foundational lie. The only reason that you would do something like this is because you're not aware that they're covering up their data. Seriously, you haven't been paying attention since Climate Gate 1 and Climate Gate 2? About what, 15 years ago now or something?

You cannot accept that. You cannot live by lies. It's just that simple. Once you decide that you're not going to attack the foundation of this thing, but you're going to then try to nuance this downstream. You've lost the argument. If you allow them to set this premise, they have, uh, already indoctrinated, uh, generation,

a couple of generations of people that lie has to be debunked. It has to be opposed. This foundational. Well, you know, there's not just the insanity that's happening with that, but there's a lot of insanity out there. And I just got to throw this thing in. I thought it was just such a strange article. They found some genes. Now, they think they might be Levi's, but they're not sure. And the Levi people say, well, I don't think there are official Levi's or whatever, but they found some jeans that were pulled out of a trunk from a shipwreck

that happened in 1857 off the coast of North Carolina. And they auctioned off these work pants as the oldest known pair of jeans, uh, for $114,000. And I thought, you know, yeah, that's actually makes a lot of sense because, you know, we see people, the more torn up your jeans are, it seems like the more they charge you for, right? It's a fashion statement. Uh, Billy Joel, uh, saw this going back.

What was it? Eighties or nineties, uh, still rock and roll to me. fashion statement. Billy Joel saw this going back, what was it, 80s or 90s? Still rock and roll to me. You can't dress trashy unless you spend a lot of money. Well, these people, they'll be able to dress really trashy because these things are pretty tattered. $114,000 for a pair. The heavy-duty miner's pants with a five-button fly were among 270 Gold Rush-era artifacts sold for a total of nearly a million dollars in Reno last weekend.

So there's disagreement about whether or not they have any ties to the father of blue jeans, Levi Strauss. They predate by 16 years the first pair of officially manufactured by his San Francisco based Levi Strauss company in 1873. These were done in 1857. But hey, you know, you can't get something that's any more stressed and trashy than something's been underwater for a century and a half or more. There's that. The federal court has permanently blocked Biden's gender transition mandate. Federal appeals court has permanently blocked biden's gender transition mandate federal appeals court has permanently blocked it uh there was a mandate on doctors and hospitals to force them to perform gender transaction procedures against their conscience look

biden has been the most hostile and i said this when he was running for office. Going back to Clarence Thomas here, he hates the idea of natural rights. He is somebody who has proudly been the author of even things that were put in by Reagan. Yeah, Reagan was on board with all of it, his attorney general, Ed Meese. But it was Biden who was authoring the mandatory minimums in prison that turned the U.S. into a prison state, locking up more people in any other country, in terms of absolute numbers, actually. And it's all this zero tolerance for anything that they declare to be illegal that they don't have constitutional authority to do.

How did we get to a situation where he's doing that for everything else? Well, that's the way this guy has always been. He's always been there to ban assault weapons and all the rest of this stuff. One of the most anti-freedom, anti-constitution politicians I've ever seen in my lifetime. I've seen some pretty bad ones. But here he is now telling people, well, you know, you've got to take the vaccine. I don't really care what your religious conscience is.

Now you've got to perform gender transitions, even if you have a religious conscience issue about this, or even if you question whether or not it's safe, just like with a vaccine. It's all of one piece, the Biden administration. The Eighth Circuit Appeals Court is now the Second Circuit Court to block this mandate from Biden. After the Fifth Circuit Court ruled similarly earlier this year in Franciscan Alliance versus Becerra, Javier Becerera, the head of HHS.

The plaintiffs was a coalition of Catholic hospitals in that one, a Catholic university and Catholic nuns who run health care clinics for the poor. The federal government has no business forcing doctors to violate their consciences or perform controversial procedures that could permanently harm their patients, said the Beckett Fund for Religious Liberty, which defended them. And now we've had the Eighth Circuit Court affirm this. Two circuit courts have pointed out the obvious. But there is no end to the Biden administration trying to push their dictates on people. I thought it was interesting to see that a retired Navy SEAL,

who was a very famous Navy SEAL for becoming a transgender, he is now speaking out after he's detransitioned, and he says, it destroyed my life he said i destroyed my life i'm not a victim i did this to myself but i had help said retired navy seal became famous about 10 years ago after coming out as transgender, uh, he announced that he's detransitioning and he called on Americans to wake up about how this is all hurting children. He said, everything you see on CNN with my face,

do not even believe a word of it. Chris Beck, this is his original name. Then he became known as Kristen Beck. And now he's back to Chris Beck again. Uh, he did an interview with Robbie Starbuck earlier this month. He said, Then he became known as Kristen Beck, and now he's back to Chris Beck again. He did an interview with Robbie Starbuck earlier this month. He said, everything that happened to me in the last 10 years destroyed my life.

I destroyed it. I'm not a victim. I did this to myself, but I had help. And you know who helped him? Michael Flynn. I've shown that picture many times of Michael Flynn grinning from ear to ear and rewarding Chris Beck for, you know, dressing up like it. There's the picture right there. Look at that. Yeah. There's our, our new Christian leader, Michael Flynn, by the way, our new Christian leader. That was what he was doing in 2014 before the trends gender stuff really kicked in, you heard much about it,

Michael Flynn was there at the very beginning. He was one of the people helping Chris Beck and rewarding him and congratulating him, telling him what a brave thing he was doing to come out as transgender. So, yeah, he had talked with Anderson Cooper in 2013, was awarded by Michael Flynn in 2014. He served in the Navy for 20 years, including on SEAL Team 6. Deployed 13 times, received more than 50 medals and ribbons for his service. But now what he's saying, he says there's thousands of gender clinics being put up all over America as soon as kids go in and say, well, I'm a tomboy, or this makes me feel comfortable,

or this makes me feel uncomfortable. A psychologist will say, oh, well, Ben, you're transgender, and the next day you're on hormones, the same hormones they're using for medical castration of pedophiles, and now they're giving this to healthy 13-year-olds. Does this seem right? And good for him for speaking up. You know, the bottom line is, is that this happened to him as an adult. And he understands how they harmed him as an adult, how they gaslighted him as an adult. And so good for him as an adult.

And so good for him for speaking up. Children are so vulnerable. Why are we allowing this to be done? But you have Biden who is trying to force doctors to do this against their medical understanding and against their will and against their conscience. Biden is trying to force this. Beck said that when he began transitioning, it took only an hour long meeting at a veteran affairs to be offered hormones.

He said, I walked into a psychologist's office and in one day I have a letter in my hand saying I was a, I was transgender and I was authorized transgender, and I was authorized for hormones, and I was authorized for all of this other stuff. I had so much going wrong in my system when I started taking those, he said. Some of that was paid for by the VA, and I'm sorry to the American people that I did that.

He said he's been off the hormones now for about seven years. He said this is a billion-dollar industry between psychologists, between surgeries, between hormones, between chemicals, between follow-up treatments. And guess who is at the very foundation of all this stuff? Planned Parenthood. Planned Parenthood is weaseling its way into the schools to hand out these castrating chemicals and other things. So I'm glad that he is speaking up on this. around to these multi-million dollar mega church buildings holding these you know phony revivals for the trump cult and having people repeat a prayer from this uh elizabeth claire prophet 40 years ago part of a nuclear religious cult.

And he's got people playing that occultic prayer. Repeat after me. Plagiarizing it. Just amazing. Just amazing. Before we take a break here, we've got Emmanuel Macron announcing that minors will be provided with condoms for free. Oh.

There you go. Well, that really does kind of provided with condoms for free. Oh, there you go. Well, that really does kind of make sense for him, frankly. Because if you remember, he married Bridget. They were dating when he was 16 and she was 41. She was his teacher. So, yeah, I can imagine that he would think it's perfectly normal for minors to need condoms, right? His parents seem to have no problem with that. The USMCA, remember that?

When it came out, this is before the betrayal in 2020. The only people that were pushing back on this USMCA, I think, that I noticed were New American and me. Maybe there's some other people talking about it at the time. But pointed out that it did absolutely nothing to change NAFTA. It just gave it a new label. It's kind of what's happening with Twitter now. You know, give it some new street creds. And in some ways it was worse.

But it was still a denial of our sovereignty, still a move to create a North American union. And now we've had the USMCA panel rules in favor of Mexico and Canada over the United States. And really the details don't really matter. Here's the point, is that they created this, they know it's a treaty. As a matter of fact, all the lawyers who would work on NAFTA, they say it's a trade agreement, it's a treaty.

And all the lawyers who worked on NAFTA hung out their shingle and talked on their websites about how they were treaty lawyers. It was a treaty. USMCA is a treaty. And what it does is it subordinates American sovereignty to arbitration, which is what just happened here. And, um, you know, they, they, the different, uh, uh, countries will go hat in hand to, uh, arbitration and, uh, we'll do whatever the committee tells them to do. It was an absolute betrayal. Uh, it was a reversal of everything Trump said he was going to do as, uh, he became president and, uh, they just relabeled it and, you know, gave it some new features and he did it.

He got it through and was hailed as a victory because he got some temporary concessions for the dairy industry and some things like that. So the question is from, uh, many people are asking, does Trump really want to be president again? He's not campaigning. He hasn't done anything since he announced his campaign. I've said many times, I never really thought that he wanted to be president the first time.

I never really thought that Roger Stone and Alex Jones wanted him to be president either. And I've told the story before about how just before the election, Alex and I were alone in the break room. And he said to me, he said, what do we do if Trump wins? And part of it was, oh, well, now if he loses, we can say, well, everything would have been so much better. And we fought the good fight, but we lost it. And now look at what's happening to the country, right?

But if he wins, you're going to own all of his dirty laundry, which is what he is. He's owning all of his dirty laundry and has been. He's, again, trying to distance himself from it from time to time, but then embracing it. But he also wanted to know what I was going to do. And I told him then, I said, look, if he does the right thing, we'll support him.

If he does the wrong thing, we'll criticize him. And he just said, huh, huh, walked away. He didn't like that answer. So one last thing before we take a quick break here. Doctors discovered a baby's minor injury, and then the Massachusetts CPS, the Department of Children and Families is what they call it there, the DCF, but it's CPS, Child Protective Services. So after they discover some minor injuries, they come in and do a

raid and seize the child in the middle of the night. This is how crazy things have become. I thought it was crazy. Decades ago, my son who's running the board now, well, we went to a wedding in Nashville when we were living in North Carolina and it was chaotic. We had, you know, two toddlers and my mom in a wheelchair and we're in a crowded motel room trying to get everybody ready and everything. And my son who's here, uh, was really young at that point in time. And he, um, and I forget the order. I forget either fell into the wheelchair and hit his head. And then, you know, um, he, he hit the touch, the hot iron on the, on the bed as my wife was trying to iron there in the hotel room and had a huge blister on his hand and so i forget which order those two things happened but anyway

um he was crying bloody murder and we took him to uh because we're out of town didn't have a doctor there that we dealt with we took him to one of these clinics see what we could do for his hand and said oh that's we'll said, oh, that's serious. You're going to need to go to the hospital. And it wasn't serious, but scared us enough that we took him to the hospital. And when we got there, the police were waiting there. And they questioned us for a long time. But now it's to the point where if you were in a, that was Tennessee.

If you're in Massachusetts, the next thing that happens is in the middle of the night, you get a SWAT raid and the kid gets taken away from you. This is an ongoing issue. I've talked about this many, many times and interviewed people who have set up organizations to help Dwight Mitchell, a father up in Minnesota, I think he was in. And it was stopped, CPS legally kidnapping kids. But then he created a foundation. I forget what the foundation was called.

But this happened to him, and he thought first it was just him. And then as he was fighting these people, he realized just how widespread it is across the country. And it really is. It is very widespread, and it's getting worse. And part of it is child trafficking. And there's a network of this, but they get paid billions of dollars to do this. And there is no innocent until proven guilty. And one of the things that he tells people is if they start probing, the first thing you do is get a lawyer and you don't talk to them.

The innocent person wants to explain themselves and show how they're innocent. And, uh, that just gets you in deeper with them. Uh, you immediately get a lawyer. Same thing is true, especially it was true in the early days of homeschooling. The, um, homeschooling legal defense fund would say, nope, you know, you don't let them in the house. You don't do any of that stuff. You get on the phone with us. And if you're homeschooling, it's still a good idea to belong to the homeschool legal defense association, HSLDA, uh, because, you never know when this kind of stuff is going to happen, but now, you know, it's taking on a new life of its own. They just come and grab the kids in the middle of the night. Well, we only got about six minutes left here. So let me just continue instead of taking a break. I haven't done very

many breaks today, but let me go ahead and do this. I was talking before about the control of speech. And this is yet another example of it. We've seen the associated press put out style books saying, well, you can't talk about illegal immigrants. You're going to talk about, um, uh,

undocumented, uh, uh, illegal aliens. You've got to talk about undocumented, undocumented immigrants and things like that. Well, now they've just put out a new style book,

quote unquote recommendation. Uh, it's not a recommendation. It's an order. The Associated Press, AP, I call them Associated Propagandists. They're associated with the government. They're always doing this type of thing, always selecting the terminology, just like woke, like I said earlier. Use the term politically correct, not woke. They're not awake

at all, but now they don't want you to use the term late term abortion. In the past, the AP has always said, no, we don't have anybody who's pro-life. They are anti-abortion rights. That's the term that you will use. And if you don't use that term, if you use pro-life, the Associated Press will not pass along your articles, and the people that you work for will eventually find their news organization is banned. So you follow their speech rules, their style book. They say abortion later in pregnancy should be used instead of late-term abortion. Do not use the term late-term abortion. Do not use the term late-term abortion.

The American College of Obstetricians, they said, and gynecologists defines late-term as 41 weeks through 41 weeks and 6 days of gestation. And abortion does not happen in this period. Oh, really? Yeah, it does. It does. As a matter of fact, even comfort care, right? Just leave the child to die. Instead, use the term abortion later in pregnancy if a general term is needed.

Dr. Christina Francis of the ACOG. I'm sorry. She's not with the ACOG. That is the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists that she's calling out. She's with the American Association of Pro-Life Obstetricians and Gynecologists that she's calling out. She's with the American Association of Pro-Life Obstetricians and Gynecologists. And she said they have denied the existence of the embryonic heart when it inconveniences the pro-abortion agenda. And so in this article from LifeSite News, they talk about, well, the term pregnant people has also been presented by the Associated Press and others. That was pregnant people instead of pregnant women.

But let me tell you, nobody talks about going back to the original term, which was a pregnant mother. That's the one they should go. Pregnant people offends even liberal feminists, right? But it still does not acknowledge motherhood or personhood for the child. You use the term pregnant mother. And so we need to have, I guess, an AP anti-style sheet, an anti-AP style sheet where we bring back things like pregnant mother. But the new landscape of the abortion fight from the New York Times, and of course it's also featured on the Drudge Report, we are galvanizing a fresh wave of voters in midterm elections who turned out more forcefully than ever to make abortion rights a winning issue, they said.

And I said this after the election. who turned out more forcefully than ever to make abortion rights a winning issue, they said. And I said this after the election. I said, look, we didn't fight for life. We didn't fight for the life of the children. The Republican politicians who lost on this issue were the ones who ran away from it, and that's pretty much all of them. I said, I should have grabbed that animated clip that I showed, the procedure that shows what is really happening. We have the truth on our side, and it is very,

very powerful. It is very visceral. I challenge anybody to look at that and not be upset by it. We have the truth on our side, but they won't unleash it. The GOP and the politicians are still keeping that caged up. And so we're going to, they're right. This is a big fight and it's happening at the state levels and it's going to be happening

over and over again. And we're going to lose this fight if we keep the truth hidden. We hide it under a bushel. So we've got to engage individuals in a way that they not only feel less helpless, but they are less helpless says Planned Parenthood. They are portraying the mothers who are killing their babies as the victim.

The baby is the victim. And we need to make that clear. And I've said that on a variety of issues. You need to focus not on the politician and not on the political party. We've got to focus like a laser on the issues. We've got to focus just as you've got special interest groups around abortion and around gun rights. And we need to support those things because they have been effective in terms of selling this. We need to have that type of focus to oppose central bank digital currency. What if we had a group that was lobbying like the NRA, but lobbying for privacy, lobbying for real hard money. That

would be something pretty effective, wouldn't it? Lobbying for our ability to have private cars. But of course, you can still go to davidknightshow.gold, and that'll take you to Tony Arderman's site. So go ahead and run the end thank you the common man they created common core to dumb down our children they created common past to track and control us. Their commons project to make sure the commoners own nothing and the communist future.

They see the common man as simple, unsophisticated, ordinary. But each of us has worth and dignity created in the image of God. That is what we have in common. That is what they want to take away. Their most powerful weapons are isolation, deception, intimidation. They desire to know everything about us while they hide everything from us. It's time to turn that around and expose what they want to hide. Please share the information and links you'll find at thedavidknightshow.com. Thank you for listening. Thank you for sharing.
