The David Knight Show - 12Jun23 The TWO AI's — Artificial Intelligence Enables Anticipatory Intel (PreCrime)

Episode Date: June 12, 2023

OUTLINE of today's show with TIMECODESAI — Anticipatory Intelligence or Pre-Crime Targeting "Risk scores" assigned to you by government. Two "AI's" (Anticipatory Intelligence & Artificial Intell...igence) join together in a program "Night Fury". This particular program began under Trump and escalated under Biden. It sounds like "Minority Report" but it's the MAJORITY of the federal government and BOTH parties that want to create a surveillance state where you are targeted for presumed intentions. (3:39) The surveillance state's "rope-a-dope" (4:54) More about "Night Fury" — what is it and how it spans multiple Democrat and Republican administrations including Trump (8:08)SPLC inflates its "hate map" by calling "Mom's for Liberty" a hate group. It's an old tactic by these government shills and leftist grifters. (21:26)AI will give SPLC a run for its money. The FIRST DEFAMATION lawsuit over AI fabricating blatantly false information — "hallucination" (30:22)Tesla's body count of those killed by its "self-driving" mode is amazing (34:40)Trump Civil War? (43:19) Many questions and some troubling "answers"Was there a crime?Is there equal protection under the law?Do we care more about Trump than that Biden made millions or tens of millions of gun owners into felons? Did you know that Trump fought gun groups to do pistol brace ban by executive order for year and a half?Lawyers reactions are that the charges are real and serious, even Trump's defendersAfter foolish, provocative talk from Biden in the last campaign about seizing guns using military, now many on the right, like Kari Lake, are calling for using guns to "protect" TrumpCould Trump pardon himself if re-elected? Could Trump, as president, pardon himself BEFORE being convicted? (1:09:41)The part of the indictment that worries even Trump's most die hard defenders like Alan Dershowitz (1:19:28)Listener comments on pardoning oneself in advance, fires, smoke, climate (1:23:34)Document shows military has worked with US Forestry Department to make wildfires a military weapon. Former officials agree that forestry mismanagement has made fires, natural or arson, uncontrollable (1:28:22)Listener comments on fires, climate data, Trump (1:41:37)Unabomber dies, allegedly by suicide. Who was he? The tragedy of a life devoid of belief in God or a higher moral law — essentially doing abortions by mail because of his low esteem for human life. (1:49:04)Look at what Unabomber wrote about leftist and political power (1:51:37)While Trump & DeSantis fight over Covid responses, Biden is STILL masking and distancing people who are unvaccinated and people are STILL dying from the Trump shots that are still be pushed — BUT the FDA's response is to ramp up censorship (2:09:33)WATCH: EGS as explained by Gates, Larry Fink (Blackrock CEO), and Biden (2:24:31)Did Pentagon Discover Dr. Who's Tardis? Desc: The claim is that it bent time and space. Is it true or did ChatGPT "hallucinate" this? Can you trust either AI or CIA?(2:27:45)Church in Germany has AI deliver sermon (2:46:52)To sell gun control, CNN says the most dangerous place and time is church 11am Sunday morning. (2:49:20)Pennsylvania man arrested at Pride event, one minute after he began reading the Bible, has charges dropped. Police are unrepentant and the community is outraged (2:56:39)Find out more about the show and where you can watch it at TheDavidKnightShow.comIf you would like to support the show and our family please consider subscribing monthly here: SubscribeStar https://www.subscribestar.com/the-david-knight-showOr you can send a donation throughMail: David Knight POB 994 Kodak, TN 37764Zelle: @DavidKnightShow@protonmail.comCash App at: $davidknightshowBTC to: bc1qkuec29hkuye4xse9unh7nptvu3y9qmv24vanh7Money is only what YOU hold: Go to DavidKnight.gold for great deals on physical gold/silverFor 10% off Gerald Celente's prescient Trends Journal, go to TrendsJournal.com and enter the code KNIGHTBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-david-knight-show--2653468/support.

Starting point is 00:00:00 Come on, come on, yes, yes, come on. At this year's Cheltenham, glory rests in the lap of the gods. Oh, curses. Alas, our hero hasn't placed. But there are still divine offerings up for grabs, with all NoviBet customers getting a €10 free bet for every day of Cheltenham. And on top of that, we're paying up to seven places each way on selected races throughout the festival. I declare this a most generous offering.
Starting point is 00:00:25 No, we bet. More power to you. The American Pronunciation Guide Presents ''How to Pronounce Free Minds'' 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 June, year of our Lord, 2023. Well, today, we've got a lot of different topics to cover. From the election, to artificial intelligence intelligence to UFOs. You know, whether these things are true or not, and the election may just be as much of a mirage as any of these, they still represent a significant danger to us. All of them.
Starting point is 00:01:59 Especially artificial intelligence. And we're going to begin with that today. And then we will get into the Trump mess as everybody wants to hear about that. We're going to start with artificial intelligence. We'll be right back. © transcript Emily Beynon It never ceases to amaze me how much more concerned people are about Biden's attacks on Trump or the Justice Department's attacks on Trump than they are about the Biden and Justice Department, the entire Biden administration's attacks on us, trying to set us up. Yes, they had Russiagate, and it was ridiculous,
Starting point is 00:03:11 and we'll talk about the Trump indictment. But when it comes to us, we don't really care. We live vicariously through Trump, and we live passively through Trump or whoever, fill in your favorite hero, savior, Messiah, whatever it is, right? And everything is about them. Just like we get so obsessed about movie stars or celebrities or recording artists. Oh, they died?
Starting point is 00:03:41 You never met this person in your life, but you have a connection to them. And many times we have a deeper connection to these things that we see on the internet than we do to the actual people around us, which is a real harbinger of the problem coming with artificial intelligence, I think. So let's begin with a threat to us from the Biden administration, but also from the Trump administration. It's a program called Night Fury. I had this on my list, but appreciate a listener who sent me another reminder to cover this. This is a report from Vice,
Starting point is 00:04:22 and this is the Night Fury is their name for this internal thing, but it's, uh, N I G H T. They could spell it with a K because they do a lot of the same stuff to me, but they do it to everybody. That's the key thing. Documents detail, the DHS project to give risk scores, the social media users. This is something I've been talking about for a very long time. I've said from the very beginning that the Internet, in particular,
Starting point is 00:04:52 was a bed for setting us up, essentially, in a kind of a pre-crime world. Geospatial intelligence, the internet, and the intelligence community was behind the creation of the internet. If you look at who was funding the venture capital firms that were funding the companies that created it, and it really is a net, a net for each and every one of us. Over the weekend, we watched the George Foreman story.
Starting point is 00:05:26 Great movie, actually. There's been a couple of good films come out by Christian companies that are not amateur at all. They're much better than anything else that's coming out. Great stories, true stories. The Jesus Revolution was an interesting one. I like the George Foreman story even better. I didn't know his story. I'm not a boxing fan. But, you know, the name was there all the time. The Foreman, George Foreman Grill
Starting point is 00:05:51 and all the rest of this stuff and the Rumble in the Jungle. I could not help but hearing all that stuff when I lived through it. It was everywhere. Everybody was talking about it, but I wasn't interested in watching any of it. But what an interesting story it was. And, of course, you all hear the rope-a-dope, and it was an interesting strategy that Muhammad Ali did. It's basically, you know, protecting his head, taking the body blows, and going up against the rope until Foreman was just all punched out,
Starting point is 00:06:22 and then he came in for the strike. You know, I've referred many times to, I understood the analogy, you know, that you're just kind of passively doing this and luring somebody in. That's how it worked. That's what the Internet has been. I've used that phrase to describe the Internet for a long time. It's interesting to watch this actually play out, you know, like watching an enactment of a red herring where they dragged the smelly fish over the trail of the fox to throw the hounds off the people that didn't like the fox hunting games in the UK. And so this is basically
Starting point is 00:06:58 my opinion. The entire internet has been a rope-a-dope. Yeah, everything's all free. Well, who paid for it? Who set this all up? Who funded these companies? How did they operate for years and years and years with nothing there? Yeah, they got happy stories on Wall Street. And Wall Street gave them a lot of funding. But it began with venture capital. They had to get started before they could give a nice story to Wall Street.
Starting point is 00:07:21 Where did the venture capital come from? Well, if you look at it, these venture capital firms filled with people from the CIA and the NSA. The CIA even came out publicly with its own venture capital firm to pick the people who are going to compete with each other. They did compete with each other. They wanted them, may the best platform win, so we can then go in and scrape all this information and watch everything that you're doing. Department of Homeland Security contracted the University of Alabama at Birmingham in 2018 to design methods for assigning a risk score to potential pro-terrorist accounts on social media, as well as identifying information of interest regarding illegal opioid supply chains and disinformation efforts. It was always about speech.
Starting point is 00:08:12 They'll always lead off with a, Oh, you know, terrorist and drug cartels. Yeah, right. It's about us. You know, just like when they tell you we've got to tax these billionaires, come on, let's, let's do a new thing. We're going to do a new kind of tax. Well, you know who's going to wind up paying that tax? The middle class.
Starting point is 00:08:28 You know who's going to wind up paying the price of this kind of surveillance? You and I talking on social media. Or even if we don't talk on social media. So, internal DHS documents reviewed by Motherboard. The project was called Night Fury. And again, that's was called Night Fury. And again, that's not with a K. But it might as well be.
Starting point is 00:08:54 According to a report from the DHS Inspector General. And so this program, this project, was going to have a ranking, a risk score. They would have tools to automate the identification of these people of interest. As Michael Hayden slyly said, we're only interested in interesting people. Well, how do you identify these interesting people? Well, you're going to automate this. You're going to automate it. For the longest time, when I talk about geospatial intelligence, and again, it's going through this phase since the late 1990s,
Starting point is 00:09:30 it is the agency that nobody likes to talk about. The NSA used to be that way for several decades. Nobody talked about the NSA. The joke was it stood for no such agency. I knew a guy when I was at my first job at Texas Instruments. He was an older guy and he had retired from the NSA and went to work for Texas instruments. And, uh, and he, I said, you know, so where are you coming from? He goes, and I said, I said, what's that?
Starting point is 00:09:56 I'd never heard of it. Well, we just say it stands for no such agency. And that was not just him saying that everybody Everybody would say that. But anyway, they find a way that they want to automate this process to identify you as a criminal before you do anything wrong, of course. This is pre-crime. This is minority report. But it's also something that is not simply in the movies. They actually have a term for this. If you go through the geospatial intelligence presentations and stuff like this, they actually have, they don't call it pre-crime.
Starting point is 00:10:34 They don't refer to the minority report, but they do call it anticipatory intelligence. At this year's Cheltenham, glory rests in the lap of the gods. Oh, curses. Alas, our hero hasn't placed. But there are still divine offerings up for grabs, with all NoviBet customers getting a €10 free bet for every day of Cheltenham. And on top of that, we're paying up to seven places each way
Starting point is 00:11:00 on selected races throughout the festival. I declare this a most generous offering. No, we bet more power to you. T's and C's apply 18 plus bet responsibly gambling care. We're going to anticipate you doing something and then act on it. And notice that the initials of that are a I, and it's going to be a I that allows them to do the anticipatory intelligence. So the contractor shall develop tools to automate the identification process,
Starting point is 00:11:31 documenting performance measures and metrics related to automating the identification process. So the news signals DHS's continued focus on analyzing social media for a variety of purposes, says Weiss. Well, of course, that's it. You know, the idea that you would put all your information, voluntarily put all your information out there. As you go back and you look at how this has evolved, it truly is amazing to me. You know, before all this stuff began, before social media began, they prepared everybody, in my opinion. It was preparatory to have Big Brother, you know, the reality TV shows. Like, what's the matter with these people?
Starting point is 00:12:18 This is a creepy combination of voyeurism and exhibitionism. These people live in this house and everything that they did would be recorded. And they put a bunch of strangers together and all the rest of this stuff. And a lot of things that you normal people would not want to have made public, but these people became celebrities. And as everybody's watching this, the younger generation starts to realize, hey, if I put my life up on the internet, maybe I could become a celebrity. Maybe I could get a lot of followers. Maybe I could value my esteem in the eyes of others by how many followers I have on social media. What can I do to get them to follow me? And they were preparing everybody for this social media? What can I do to get them to follow me? Right? And they were preparing
Starting point is 00:13:06 everybody for this social media thing. Anyway, the use of automated processes to analyze social media to determine the likelihood that someone is pro-terrorist and to assign a risk score to individuals and groups online has echoes of a discredited Trump administration proposal called the Extreme Vetting Initiative. Oh, so they've got an app for January the 6th already inside the Trump administration, right? Because one of the aspects of this is the geofencing around a particular area to identify people. But also to identify people prior to that, and then even after that, but prior to anything. And to identify these people, well, you may be a threat to us
Starting point is 00:13:56 simply because you were in Washington, or you were in Maryland, or you were in Virginia, as Bank of America turned over records to the FBI voluntarily of anybody who had had a transaction there, and then the FBI went through and analyzed their political beliefs to see if, well, this is a Trump supporter. You see, that's how this works. How did they know that they were a Trump supporter? Easy.
Starting point is 00:14:22 They've got you identified by your political beliefs, your religious beliefs, that you have expressed on social media. So it was very easy for them to do a cross-reference with that. And then, of course, they also looked at people who had guns registered in their names, if they were there. So gun registered in your name,
Starting point is 00:14:43 you're a conservative Trump supporter, and you're in that area. oh, well, you're guilty. We'll put you on the list as well. As a number of experts in machine learning and automated decision-making told DHS less than a year before the Night Fury contract was signed, attempting to make automated judgments about these matters is both impossible and likely to be infected with bias. Well, there you go. Bring in artificial intelligence, which is
Starting point is 00:15:11 programmed with a bias in it. They pay people minimum wage to program their bias in it. As these characteristics have no concrete definition, much as there is no definition of being a pro-terrorist. Well, we don't have any definition of an assault weapon, do we? Well, we've got to ban assault weapons. Well, what are you even talking about? Well, we'll let you know. And then eventually they do provide a specific list of individual guns, just like they will eventually provide a specific list of individuals
Starting point is 00:15:44 that they think are dangerous. And this is the dangerous idea. More specifically, says Weiss, the project planned to develop methods that could identify a location without even using GPS metadata, such as looking for certain keywords. The researcher also planned to attack, to track threats through mainstream social networks like Facebook, Twitter, and other communities. DHS planned to test the methods against live events unfolding in real time. This was all prepared before January the 6th. And then you had Trump and other people who made a lot of money playing on the sympathies of people and their frustration about a rigged election to push them into this trap.
Starting point is 00:16:40 So as this was all happening, of course, you know, they said one of the events would be something like a hurricane scenario, a hurricane scenario. They're worried about terrorists during a hurricane. They don't have to blow things up. The hurricane does that for them. It's not about such as a hurricane scenario. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:01 You're worried about the terrorists during hurricane. Okay. Well, I think maybe, uh uh was that crossfire hurricane you know code word for russiagate that fbi was coming after trump with crossfire hurricane that hurricane the hurricane that trump did absolutely nothing to stop or to reform he just passively sat there and did nothing. And then, of course, his administration put together this next stage of the rope-a-dope for all of his supporters. And so this was sent to me by United Information Workers, I guess, sent to the account.
Starting point is 00:17:42 Said, as you read this, keep the Milgram experiment in mind. Given protections, most people would willfully commit atrocities against other people that they have power over. Yeah. Why DHS would need to pre-crime lawful citizens is itself a mystery. Reads like a playbook from Hoover's FBI. These agencies are, at this stage stage unquestionably rogue and silence is being complicit, they say. Well, absolutely right. But of course, we've had this type of
Starting point is 00:18:16 thing operating a long time. They're just making it more technological, which allows them to do it faster and to a greater extent. Whether it's accurate or not, they don't care. You know, rope every, arrest everybody. We'll figure it out later. That's one of the things that they said to Adrian Schoolcraft, the honest cop who blew the whistle on what the New York Police Department was doing. He said, yeah, it's going to be, a lot of stuff's going to be happening on Halloween. We need to have a lot of arrests.
Starting point is 00:18:43 So, you know, just go out and grab somebody, bring them in. We'll figure out what to charge them with later. He recorded them saying that and they took him eventually they they took him and secretly uh took him away and put him in a insane asylum his father who is also a cop retired cop however found him that's a great story um But yeah, some comments here. Mr. VRA on Rumble. The data center is a new race to build our digital prison. The big con game. Funding from a certain agency whose budget was kept secret. Aaron Moss.
Starting point is 00:19:21 Nobody does extreme vetting initiatives better than me. And DK's Trump voice. Yeah, it's totally great. I'm winning. We're vetting everybody here. I love vets, right? I put them in jail. Hurricanes are prime excuses to go after guns. Look at Katrina's as my son. Yeah, that's right. Maybe the hurricane was caused by extremists with weaponized SUVs. I'm sure it was. Sure it was. Every bit of weather is caused by your SUV. You didn't know that, did you?
Starting point is 00:19:50 Yeah. Mark Twain said everybody talks about the weather. Nobody does anything about it. Well, he had obviously never met one of these environmentalists. They think they can do something about it. They can do something about your SUV is what they can do something about it. Uh, they could do something about your SUV is what they can do. But anyway, uh,
Starting point is 00:20:08 no, I was going to say this, this is, uh, this extreme vetting, this anticipatory intelligence, uh, using artificial intelligence,
Starting point is 00:20:17 artificial pre-crime. That's what this is. Well, this is not really anything new. It's just new technologically because the Southern poverty law center has been doing this for a very long time and making lots of money and they have several hundred million dollars. No exaggeration.
Starting point is 00:20:33 This has been reported by the mainstream media, several hundred million dollars in offshore bank accounts. Even the left, when they vet various charities, this is not a good charity to give money to. Southern Poverty Law Center doesn't really do much, but they do raise a lot of money. Well, what they do is they provide plausible deniability for the FBI and other government agencies to say,
Starting point is 00:21:01 well, we're not coming after you because we don't like your politics. We're coming after you because Southern Poverty Law Center said you're an extremist. So now they've got artificial intelligence to do that for them. So I'm very concerned that the Southern Poverty Law Center just might lose their money. Who needs the Southern Poverty Law Center? At this year's Cheltenham, glory rests in the lap of the gods. Curses. Alas, our hero hasn't placed.
Starting point is 00:21:27 But there are still divine offerings up for grabs with all NoviBet customers getting a €10 free bet for every day of Cheltenham. And on top of that, we're paying up to seven places each way on selected races throughout the festival. I declare this a most generous offering. NoviBet. More power to you. T&C Supply. 18 plus bet responsibly
Starting point is 00:21:46 gamblingcare.ie. When you got AI and anticipatory intelligence um as everybody talks about the weather but nobody smears food on works of art to fix it yeah yeah
Starting point is 00:22:02 Rhonda Tate. Hi Rhonda. Data centers are going to be vital in the plan. Yeah, they are. They are. And we don't really care how much energy they use, do we? We care about every single crypto transaction, and they've got to be stopped because they just use too much energy resources. But not the data centers. Not the big artificial intelligence, you know, deep thought things that are going to put the finger on you. No, no, no.
Starting point is 00:22:30 That's all fine. Every activity is fine that happens on the internet except for crypto. They're not concerned about people watching movies either. Why? Because that takes you out of the real world, right? So they're not worried about everybody streaming movies and all the power consumption with that either. No, they don't care.
Starting point is 00:22:51 Southern Poverty Law Center, however, is massively overcounting hate groups, and this is from Reason magazine, and it's not just hate groups like Moms for Liberty. Moms for Liberty, people who have the audacity to show up at a school board and speak out. Yeah, you're a terrorist. Southern Power Law Center thinks so. The Department of Justice thinks so. The FBI thinks so.
Starting point is 00:23:16 Because they hate you. You're a hate group because they hate you. You are guilty of hate speech because they hate what you're saying. Southern Poverty Law Center's notorious hate map might eventually describe everybody as being an extremist, says Reason. They released their yearly report on the number of hate groups in the U.S., a number that is always rising, thanks to the watchdog organization's characteristically clever accounting. By adding Moms for Liberty, a conservative group organization that has little resemblance to neo-Nazi groups at the Southern Poverty Law Center,
Starting point is 00:23:51 has historically tracked, this new 2022 report manages to set a new record. Well, I've been on their list since 2013. I did a thing on them, Prophets of Hate, talking about, you know, they are prophesying that you're going to become a terrorist or whatever. But they're actually, you know, it's not P-R-O-P-H-E-T-S. It's P-R-O-F-I-T-S as in cash. They made a lot of money selling hate.
Starting point is 00:24:24 Even so, the Southern Poverty Law Center hit a snag in 2020. The overall number of hate groups in the U.S. appeared to decrease slightly. But these findings would strike most people as good news, but they cut against the SPLC's long-documented goal of raising money by inspiring concern about rising levels of hate. So they got creative. The 2021 map includes not just the 733 hate groups, but also 488 anti-government groups, they said. So if you don't like something that the government's doing and you speak out about it, isn't that protected
Starting point is 00:25:01 of the Constitution? The right to redress your grievances with the government? No, no. You got a grievance? Well, you're a terrorist, says the Southern Poverty Law Center. Here's the example. Moms for Liberty made the 2022 report. Of course, this is the most recent one. It's an organization that rallies right-wing parents who disagree with the curriculum and COVID-19 policies of public schools. They describe themselves by saying, we are a group of moms and dads and grandparents and aunts and uncles, community members that are very concerned about the direction of the country.
Starting point is 00:25:35 The Southern Poverty Law Center defends its description of Moms for Liberty as an extremist group by citing several members who have made violent threats against teachers and the LGBT community. And again, they overlook that when it's something that is said in the heat of anger by the left, right? And then they also cite statements like this one. I raise my children, the government does not, we do not co-parent with the government. And there are certain sensitive subjects that we should like to be directing the conversation around for our children. Parents are very concerned about this idea about gender identity that was never discussed in our public schools.
Starting point is 00:26:18 And it is now taking a front row seat in our children's education. And it is affecting everything that they do, including for many of our girls, how safe they feel in the bathrooms at their school. That statement I just read to you was listed in the Southern Poverty Law Center hate report as being evidence that Moms for Liberty is a hate group. They don't like the idea that the government wants to raise your kids, right? This idea that keeps getting repeated to us over and over again. We had Melissa Harris Perry years ago, an MSNBC public service announcement, did a little 30-second spot that they played over and over again. We got to get over this idea that children belong to their parents.
Starting point is 00:27:06 They don't. They belong to all of us. Or Hillary Clinton's, It Takes a Village. And, of course, that is up on the top of Build-A-Bear. It Takes a Village to Build a Bear, right? Yeah, that should tell you something about that uh anyway the uh yeah i noticed that when my daughter wanted to get one of these things it's like whoa wait a minute yeah we we took her to uh get it when we first adopted her we took her in there and uh part of a we took her to the nutcracker suite and then went by Build-A-Bear.
Starting point is 00:27:45 And then as we're checking out, I saw that up at the top. And I said, Hans, are we the baddies? I said, Karen, I think we just made a mistake here with this thing. We're doing business with these people. Anyway, luckily for the Southern Poverty Law Center, Moms for Liberty is a chapter-based organization, which means that it can be counted not once, but dozens of times. Each chapter is listed as a separate group in their report. They're padding their report. The 2022 hate map lists 89 hate groups in Florida. 28 of them are Moms for Liberty. About a third. How about that?
Starting point is 00:28:28 And in Texas, Moms for Liberty constitutes 10 of the state's 72 extremist groups. So, you know, about 14%, about one-seventh there. And about 33% in Florida. They're really using that to pat it, to make themselves look very important.
Starting point is 00:28:45 Aaron Moss says data centers need data. It's getting close to the time that we got to throw our phones at a politician. Yeah, here, keep it. Stephen Caspar, SPLC is the biggest hate group in America. They are. They are. Yeah. Of course, the FBI is pretty big as well.
Starting point is 00:29:05 The FBI operates that way. It's thoroughly politicized. These moms are so dangerous as my son. They account for most of the terrorist activity in the U.S. Yeah, that's right. And their imagination. But of course, you know, a government that is afraid of people who want to take responsibility for their kids. Pretty amazing.
Starting point is 00:29:26 My sister was a schoolteacher all of her life, and she used to say, well, you can tell which kids are going to succeed based on how involved their parents are. The PTA stuff, right? And she said she had taught for years. It's pretty easy to recognize that. But, of course, the government is not interested in your children succeeding. And, of course, when she said that, homeschooling was not even an option when she taught.
Starting point is 00:29:55 OpenAI is hit with its first defamation suit over chat GPT hallucination. This is from vaccineimpact.com. And of course, when the AI hallucinates over you being a terrorist, how do you roll that back? That's the real problem. You know, just take a look at what people are going through with January the 6th. Look at that harassment. How they have extended this to people who did nothing wrong. The people who walked in because the police were there by the open doors, letting everybody walk in. You trespassed.
Starting point is 00:30:35 You trespassed into our sacred holy of holies here. How dare you? Yeah. Ruining people's lives. But yet again, who needs Southern Poverty Law Center when you've got imaginative chat LGBT? Brian Schilhavi says many people are still fooled by AI because it's in its infancy. They're fooled about its limitations.
Starting point is 00:31:00 But, you know, the people who are making lots and lots and lots of money on wall street, there's an article this weekend. Why don't, why isn't the stock market reflecting as a recession? And so there's one thing people keep pouring money into artificial intelligence. And Brian, uh, shall Javi has said, this is a real dangerous aspect of artificial intelligence right there. If this stuff doesn't deliver, it's been really hyped and oversold. And if it doesn't deliver on everything, people sour on it as they have done twice in the past.
Starting point is 00:31:33 This is the third wave of artificial intelligence is going to rule the world ideas. And of course, this one is further along than any of the others have been. But when it doesn't produce everything that they want it to, and if people get disillusioned, now that's going to take the stock market down right there. So he said, you know, whenever it comes up with something false, they call it a hallucination, but one person is calling it defamation in a lawsuit. Bloomberg Law reported this week that OpenAI was hit with its first, the company that is behind the chat, LGBT,
Starting point is 00:32:09 was hit with its first defamation lawsuit when it allegedly falsely accused a Georgia man of embezzling money. I think I talked about this case. But it is still interesting to go back and hit it again. It was a lawsuit from a Georgia radio host who claimed that the viral artificial intelligence program, ChatGBT, generated a false legal complaint accusing him of embezzling money. This might be the second case because some of these details did not ring familiar with me. But this one, a lawsuit has actually been filed. It's the first of its kind case.
Starting point is 00:32:45 It comes as AI programs face heightened security over their ability to spread misinformation and to hallucinate false outputs, making it a legal precedent. Mark Walter said in his suit that the chatbot provided false complaint to Fred Reel, the editor-in-chief of the gun publication Ammoland, who was reporting on a real-life legal case that was playing out in Washington state. So Fred Reel, the editor of Ammoland, asked ChatGPT to provide a summary of a court case, Second Amendment Foundation v. Ferguson,
Starting point is 00:33:22 a case in Washington federal court accusing the state's attorney general, Bob Ferguson, of abusing his power by chilling the activities of the Second Amendment Foundation's founder, Alan Gottlieb, was suing Walters for defrauding and embezzling funds from the foundation as chief financial officer and treasurer. Every statement of fact in the summary pertaining to Walters is false, according to the defamation suit filed on January the 5th. Well, if that's the case, maybe we should think about, since we're elevating AI to the role of equal or greater than humans, maybe we should look at artificial intelligence replacing George Santos, the Republican from Long Island.
Starting point is 00:34:20 Since every detail of his resume was made up, maybe artificial intelligence could do it in a more convincing way than George Santos did. And if the AI program got elected, I'm sure that Kevin McCarthy and Marjorie Taylor Greene and all the rest of these Republicans would line up behind artificial intelligence and defend it, saying it needs to stay in Congress since it's got an R after its name, if that were the case. No, I use a program that goes through and gives me a transcript. And it's gotten a lot better lately. But it'll still do things when I can't just copy and paste the thing. Because I try to give people an idea, since the program is so long, where do we switch topics and things like that? And so I put time codes in the descriptions. If you haven't noticed, I do it for the video, the full show video.
Starting point is 00:35:10 I do it for the podcast as well. But I can't just copy and paste it in because it'll sometimes really screw. Sometimes it'll be amazingly accurate and other times it will say exactly the opposite of what i said or to conflate two different names with you know completely different activities and that's the way this stuff operates but people have an amazing amount of trust for this just like they got an amazing amount of trust for this. Just like they got an amazing amount of trust for Trump and politicians. It's a very concerning thing to me, frankly. Aaron Ma says, if you sue AI, you give it entity status.
Starting point is 00:36:00 Well, actually, they're suing OpenAI, the company behind it. If you can sue businesses and people and AI, what's next? A tree? That's right. Well, they're going to, you know, these people have produced this software, which is going around defaming people. You know, they produce the software and they're talking about how wonderful it is. By the way, because there's a lot of overlap in self-driving cars and artificial intelligence. This is one of the things that gives us both concern and hope. Concern that when you look at self-driving cars, Tesla alone has killed 17 people. And I forget how many hundreds have been injured in automobile accidents because of the self-driving stuff that was all hype from Elon Musk. Yeah, it does a little bit of it, but then when it gets to key things, key junctures, it falls apart, right?
Starting point is 00:36:56 Very dangerous thing. And when you stop and think about it, that's more people than have been killed with this Takata airbag recall that's gone on for a couple of decades. And it's pretty amazing that they've been given a pass all this time. A bigger body count than that. And it's significant. And I've followed on to this self-driving thing and how it was being used by Elon Musk as hype from the very beginning. That's the way he made his Tesla cars sexy. It was by talking about this futuristic technology. And so that really was kind of the sizzle to the steak. Everybody else said, no, I don't know that I really want this steak or not. And he's like, oh, but look
Starting point is 00:37:37 at this, you know? And that's the thing that really made it go. And of course the government wants him to sell you EV cars. They've heavily financed him, given him billions of dollars in subsidies for this because they want everybody on an EV. And so they're more than willing to look the other way as his self-driving technology kills 17 people so far. So, and that's not even talking about the battery fires, which are not limited at all to Tesla.
Starting point is 00:38:08 That's just a lithium battery thing. We've seen this happening with phones for a long time. We've seen it happening with laptops occasionally. But, you know, there's a rash of lithium battery fires with Samsung for whatever reason. And we've seen it with EV buses, really bad, in France and in Germany. Those are not Tesla. You know, Tesla's had its share of fires just recently. There was a guy in California, and he said he was stopped,
Starting point is 00:38:41 and it started smoking, and he saw it fire, and it happened so quickly quickly he jumped out of the car and just barely made it himself. He said, I drive my family around in this thing. I wouldn't have been able to get the kids out of here before they would have been incinerated. He had escaped, luckily escaped, but he was outraged because he thought this could have easily destroyed my family, killed us all because they would have been in there trying to get the kids out of the car seats or whatever. And they would have all died. Anyway, getting back to, uh, the, uh, AI stuff. a threat or that we have a AI safety problem or that we're just around the corner from some
Starting point is 00:39:25 singularity with machines or that they're going to become self-aware and, you know, nuke us all or that type of thing or Skynet. But I do believe this technological paradigm shift poses a significant threat to humanity, which is in fact about the only thing I can somewhat agree with the mainstream on, but for completely different reasons. Like I was just talking about. Can falsely identify you as a terrorist, for example. Right? That's a threat.
Starting point is 00:40:00 The fact that artificial intelligence will be used to censor podcasts, that's a threat. And, you know, some people will be falsely identified with that. I will not be falsely identified. They know that I oppose them on those narratives. It's not that the information that I give is false. But there'll be people who get caught up in this thing and have all kinds of problems with this, especially with the high-handed attitude of these tech companies.
Starting point is 00:40:28 I know the government and these tech companies don't want me on, so I don't argue with them. But some people who get falsely identified, they're going to have a heck of a time trying to get the attention of somebody in these companies because they don't even want to give me a publicized reason. They never respond to people. Aaron Moss says, Ford, we call on hybrid Maverick for battery fires.
Starting point is 00:40:49 Yeah, there you go. It's happening all the time. What makes generative AI so interesting is not that it is sentient, but that it's the first time in our history that we are speaking or communicating with something other than a human being in a coherent fashion. Closest thing that we've had before with this has been parrots. Yes, parrots. You can train a parrot to kind of talk and talk back,
Starting point is 00:41:10 and you can kind of understand it, but because we know it's not really a human and doesn't really understand anything, we are not so impressed. We typically kind of, you know, see the videos, and they can be kind of comical. And some of the really smart parrots might eventually start to associate certain sounds with things like, you know, you see the videos and they can be kind of comical. And some of the really smart parrots might eventually start to associate certain sounds with things like,
Starting point is 00:41:28 hey, Polly wants a cracker, right? That's the way, when I say Polly wants a cracker, I get rewarded. So Polly does really want a cracker. But a lot of the stuff is just kind of randomly synchronized. But artificial intelligence is a little bit better. As Brian says, the English is immaculate. There's no spelling mistakes. Sentences make sense.
Starting point is 00:41:53 It's not only grammatically accurate, but it's semantically accurate as well. Therefore, it must be alive. It's alive. It's alive. Frank, it's not moving. Little do you realize that you're speaking to a highly sophisticated stochastic parrot. Statistically, it's going through these. As it
Starting point is 00:42:16 turns out, language is a little more rules-based than what we all thought. And probability engines can actually do an excellent job of emulating intelligence through the frame or the conduit of a language. And that's exactly what they're doing. And so when we come back, we're going to continue with this. But I wanted to put that out there for a number of reasons before we get into the politics. Because people need to be a little less trusting of these things. We even have artificial intelligence being called on to preach a sermon at a very large German evangelical thing over the weekend. We'll talk about that when we come back as well.
Starting point is 00:43:06 Stay with us. We'll be right back. Thank you. Making sense common again. You're listening to The David Knight Show. All right, let's talk a little bit about the Trump thing, because it's interesting to see people's reactions, especially lawyers' reactions. I had an attorney who's a listener to the show, said, you're right in your comparisons, I agree with that, as what else he should be charged with in terms of, you know, these other crimes of violating the Constitution, of killing people with the injection that I believe he criminally rushed and pushed and bragged about how he told them, you do it right now.
Starting point is 00:45:21 And they made no bones about it. He was bragging about the fact, I told these people, the FDA, you get this thing, an emergency use authorization right now, or you're fired. So yeah, he's the father of all that. He said, however, I read through the indictment, and it is a solid slam dunk. He says, I'm glad it was done.
Starting point is 00:45:40 And keep talking up your point about the awful crime of the century, the lockdowns and all the rest of this stuff. Yeah. And this is not just his opinion. And it's not just the opinion of people who don't like Trump. I've only seen one opinion come out, and we'll get to these different opinions, and we're not going to get into the weeds on this.
Starting point is 00:46:04 But just to give you an idea of what various people are saying, you know, Trump has made enemies everywhere, even with the people who used to work for him. And so they're all talking about this. Uh, competitors are talking about it in the presidential race, but there's only one person who has come out belatedly and said,
Starting point is 00:46:24 uh, I don't, I think he can win. That's Dershowitz, Alan Dershowitz. But even Dershowitz is qualifying in what he has to say in terms of Trump's legal jeopardy on this. But see, that's one issue. And the other part of it is encapsulated in this Babylon Bee headline.
Starting point is 00:46:44 Trump names Hunter Biden as his running mate. So the department of justice will stop investigating him. You see that says everything right there. And that very concise headline, Steve Bannon said, it's really a brilliant 4d chess type of move says a Babylon B. And then they have Trump bragging about choosing Hunter Biden as his running mate. All uppercase, of course. Trump wins once again. I remain undefeated against my corrupt deep state's efforts to take me out. Hunter Biden is my new running mate, making me invincible to any investigation.
Starting point is 00:47:25 He's even more trustworthy than my new running mate, making me invincible to any investigation. He's even more trustworthy than my previous running mate. So much winning. You see, that's the issue. The issue is, is that not only is, you know, Biden and Hunter committed crimes and they committed crimes and we knew about that committed crimes before the 2020 election. I reported on it many times. He had videotape where he's bragging about what he's doing in Ukraine and all the rest of this stuff and the charisma and money and all the rest.
Starting point is 00:47:54 It was all known, all known. And they've had this stuff since 2017 actually. And the Trump administration didn't do anything about it. The Trump administration didn't do anything about it. The Trump administration didn't do anything about Hillary Clinton's emails either. Secret documents published on her server for everybody to see. It wasn't even something that was in his house. That doesn't excuse anything that Trump did. But what it shows people is that there's a double standard. Not only will Hunter Biden not be, and Joe, not be investigated for anything,
Starting point is 00:48:29 but the FBI will shut down any investigations, and they'll confiscate evidence like it, just like they did with Flight 800 and many other instances where they went around and had accident investigators, people who were air traffic controllers and things. They confiscated evidence from them on the Flight 800 thing. That's what they're doing with Biden as well. That's what is so dangerous about this. It's not that Trump committed a crime and could go to jail.
Starting point is 00:48:58 As a matter of fact, the former Scottish Prime Minister, Nicola Sturgeon, was just arrested for corruption charges in Scotland. Well, good. We don't want people to get away with crimes simply because they're the president or the prime minister or whatever. They should be held accountable to the law. They're not above the law. We don't want that. They all swear an oath to the Constitution, but then they violate it.
Starting point is 00:49:24 Then they no longer have any legitimate authority, but they still have a lot of power. We don't want to embrace this corruption. We want to punish it. As I've said so many times, we're talking about institutions, you know, what Frank Serpico said about corrupt police departments. He said every institution's going to have bad people in it. The institution then is either going to purge these people or protect these people. If you protect them, the institution becomes corrupted. And more and more. It's a downhill slope at that point in time. And it's this corruption, this protection of Biden from his crimes
Starting point is 00:50:06 that everybody sees by the entire government. And so that makes them suspicious of whether these crimes against Trump are even true or not. I think they are in the details. But see, the most dangerous thing about this is that they've now created the perception that justice is politically biased in this country. As I said before, people don't really seem to care when the government comes after us, do they? They've got their night fury program where they're profiling people with anticipatory intelligence
Starting point is 00:50:41 and artificial intelligence to label you pre-crime as a terrorist. We don't care about that. What's going on with Trump. And then we look at the pistol brace stuff, right? Um, all the Dard says, uh, this executive order banning pistol braces by Biden and the ATF just created 29 million felons with a pistol brace. Are you concerned about that? Do you care that the Biden administration perhaps made a felon of you or a felon of
Starting point is 00:51:10 your friend or somebody relative or somebody in your family? Pretty good chance. Do you care about that? Or you only care about the fact that they've labeled Trump as a felon? See, this is the problem. Everybody is so focused on these politicians who are simply in it for themselves. Yeah, it is a game of thrones, and they are fighting against each other, and these guys will come at you in different ways.
Starting point is 00:51:37 But, you know, when you look at the pistol brace thing, as I pointed out before, after Trump did the bump stock ban and set a precedent for being the first president to do to, uh, claim that he could regulate firearms in some way by executive order, he did the pistol brace ban in 2019 and it stayed there until December of 2020. And when he thought he needed everybody's support, he pulled it off. And 20 December, 2020, as he doing save america and stop the steel stuff and then biden immediately put it back in when he took office but trump was going to do that he was going to do it a second time
Starting point is 00:52:17 that was his intention he got a lot of pushback finally from the nRA. And he was very critical of the NRA for pushing back against his new powers. He didn't like that. He wanted those new dictatorial powers that he had gotten away with over the bump stock. And I said, at the time that happened, I said, this is such an incredibly dangerous precedent. Gun owners of America, National Association for Gun Rights, they pushed back on it. But the NRA said, no, that's okay. We don't care about bump stocks. Well, do you care about principle?
Starting point is 00:52:47 Do you care about the precedent that's being set here? Because immediately when you let him get away with it, he did it again. And immediately after he did it, and I was talking about how dangerous it was, you had Lala Harris, who was running for president at the time, immediately said, well, when I get elected president, I'm going to give Congress 100 days to enact my gun control legislation. And if they don't do it, I'll do it by executive order. Where'd she get that idea from?
Starting point is 00:53:11 From Trump. And so you're going to go to the mat for Trump, who did a pistol brace ban to create tens of millions of felons, just like Biden has done it. Oh, yeah. Biden is so much worse than Trump. Is he? Is he? I think they're both bad.
Starting point is 00:53:30 I think they both ought to be impeached, and I think they both ought to go to jail for different crimes. The owners of only 0.6% to 1% of the AR-15 style pistols, and it's not an AR-15 style pistol. It's a pistol with a brace on it. They have complied only a half to 1%. In other words, have complied with this deadline set by the BATF. By failing to do so, the owners of an estimated 20 to 40 million guns could face 10 years in prison.
Starting point is 00:54:02 A $10,000 fine or both. The ATF even estimates that it's 3 to 5 million people. So they're, you know, an order of magnitude lower, you know, a factor of 10 lower. But 3 to 5 million people? You got enough jails to put all those people in? Oh, well, we can build more, right? So as of June 1st, they'd received 255,000 applications for a tax-free registration.
Starting point is 00:54:28 I think I'm going to do it for free, free introductory charge to registration about that. Um, yeah, people paying too much for their interrogations. And my son just straight out of Brazil, right? This is my receipt for your receipt. And I will be charging you for the interrogation of your husband. John Lott says, you're still talking about 29 million people who technically committed felonies at this point. That makes this the biggest pro-gun protest ever. Bigger than the 4% who complied with the New York law to register AR-15 style rifles and pistols, and the 13% in Connecticut who registered their semi-automatic weapons it's even bigger than the refusal by 98 percent in connecticut to register bullet holding magazines yeah well the uh
Starting point is 00:55:20 meanwhile we have uh desantis has reacted to this. He reacted by defending Trump, claiming that the FBI holds political bias. Well, that is true, and that is the dangerous thing. How are we going to respond to this? What kind of reforms are there going to be? And it is, like I said, this has been done so many times that the MAGA people, when you go back and look at Russiagate, because of that, they don't believe that there is a crime here. I believe there is a crime here as I look at it and as I've read so many of these different characterizations of it. And I'll tell you why in a moment, why I think it's a real crime by Trump.
Starting point is 00:56:01 It's not necessarily that I you know, I agree with everything being classified, but, you know, this may not even be a case of over-classification, as many people pointed out. This is about significant war plans and things like that. So, you know, they do over-classify everything. This may not be the case with this, but it's made such a heavy lift to convince the MAGA people that there is even a crime here because they see that this is, that the law is being, uh, not applied equally to everybody. And this is the most dangerous statement that I've seen in terms of reaction to it from Carrie Lake.
Starting point is 00:56:54 I consider Carrie Lake to be a dangerous celebrity demagogue, a dangerous celebrity demagogue. This is somebody who is 100% a rhino. She is no more interested in the Republican ideas of limited government, the constitution, all the rest of this stuff, or even on the social issues, she's no more with us than Dr. Oz was, another person who was endorsed by Trump. And she is angling, in my opinion, to get a vice presidential nomination. So Carrie Lake said on Friday, those seeking to prosecute Trump would have to go through her and 75 million other Americans before warning that many of them are card-carrying members of the NRA.
Starting point is 00:57:42 You see, this is the kind of talk, kind of stupid talk, that creates these problems. And I am very concerned about what she's saying. To me, this looks like a repeat of the kind of nonsense rhetoric I was seeing from Alex and Roger and Trump in the lead-up to January the 6th. And it's exactly the same type of irresponsible rhetoric that we saw from people like Eric Swalwell on the other side, saying, oh, yeah, you want, you, you want your guns?
Starting point is 00:58:06 Well, we've got a military that can take it away from you. And it was repeated by Beto O'Rourke. It was repeated by Joe Biden as well. These people want to start a civil war. Don't let them drag you into it, especially not to defend Trump of all people. And I said that through all of it.
Starting point is 00:58:24 Yeah. Don't go to January the 6th. It's a trap. Don't pay attention to Carrie Lake. She is a trap. She's just another grifting celebrity demagogue out there looking to feather her nest. I have a message tonight, she said, from Eric Garland and Jack Smith and Joe Biden. And the guys back there in the fake news media, you should listen up as well.
Starting point is 00:58:45 This one is for you. And that's when she said, you're going to have to go. You want to get Trump? You're going to have to go through 75 million Americans, just like me. Most of us are card carrying members of the NRA. That's not a threat. She said, that's a public service announcement. She was contacted by the Washington Post to ask about that.
Starting point is 00:59:07 And then she doubled down on it. And she said, I meant what I said. Well, I meant what I said about her. She's irresponsible. She's dangerous. She's as much of a threat to us as people like Eric Swalwell and Joe Biden and Donald Trump. These grifting politicians, will they push us into a civil war or the commenters like Wayne Allen Root, who says
Starting point is 00:59:32 the indictment of Trump is a declaration of war. They want a civil war so badly. It makes me disgusted. They will go to a civil war over Trump. They won't go to a civil war over the police state. They won't go to a civil war over the lockdown, over the public health medical tyranny. No,
Starting point is 00:59:53 no, no. It's only over Trump that we'll do anything. That's what I was also saying in 2020. I was like to these people going to January the sixth, I said, are you kidding me? This guy locked us down,
Starting point is 01:00:02 told us we were not essential. He's creating a poison injection for us. And you're going to go to the mat for him. Just incredible. What these people are doing. I understand, you know, why Alex and the rest of these people, they were doing it for money. Why were the people showing up there? I don't understand.
Starting point is 01:00:23 Yeah. Wayne Ellen Root. This is a guy who has railed about the vaccines. He hates the vaccines. He's lectured Trump for a long time. Stop talking about the vaccines. They're horrible. You got owned with all this stuff. Stop talking about
Starting point is 01:00:38 it. And yet, he is a rabid supporter of all things Trump. He even says, this is war. This is life or death. This is the end of America if we don't fight fire with fire. I'm sure that Alex will say the same thing. It's not.
Starting point is 01:00:55 It's not. And this is not the right way to respond to this government corruption. I'm going to have Matt Trujillo on again, the Doctrine of the Lesser Magistrate, and we're going to talk a little bit more about this when we talk about the guy who was arrested in Redding, Pennsylvania, for reading from the Bible at a pride march.
Starting point is 01:01:19 And, you know, it's illegal, evidently, to read in Redding if what you're reading is the Bible. So, it's, but look, I just had, and the reason I said I need to get Matt back on again, I just had somebody say, well, I was going through this, you know, course that I'm taking with church or something. And I gave him the name of the book. He asked me, he said, I know you've had somebody on who has a very different idea than we should submit to everything that the government tells us to do. It's like, yeah, I definitely don't agree with that. And I have biblical reasons for not agreeing with it. I have historical reasons for not agreeing with it. I have pragmatic reasons for not agreeing with it. I disagree with that as strongly as I can disagree with anything. That interpretation,
Starting point is 01:02:10 that misunderstanding of Romans 13 and other passages that are there. And so I gave him the name of the book, but I guess probably it's time to go back and take a look at this, especially with all of the talk. We need to understand that this country does not sink or swim based on what happens to some failed casino owner, Donald Trump. This guy couldn't even run casinos at a profit. Come on, he can't run this country. Look at the mess he's made of his own life. Anyway, Lindsey Graham says Trump is stronger today politically than he was before the indictment, and I'm afraid that's true.
Starting point is 01:02:48 All of this stuff is to make him stronger. As I'd mentioned before, in Scotland they did arrest Nicola Sturgeon for a finances probe. They confirmed the 52-year-old woman was taken into custody as a suspect and being questioned by detectives. It follows the arrest and release of her husband, who was the ex-chief executive of the Scottish National Party that she was head of. Oh, a little bit of nepotism there, right?
Starting point is 01:03:15 With both of those things. So it's all about party financing. She was prime minister. Her husband was head of the party. I'm not going to get into the weeds of that, frankly, but the bottom line is that when politicians break the law, they should be held accountable. And that's the problem. We all know that Biden broke the law and is not being held accountable. That is far clearer to everybody because it's been there for six years. People have been talking about the details of that case for six years, but you can see the video of him
Starting point is 01:03:49 bragging about it and everything that is far more obvious than the details of what happened with Trump. Because my first opinion about it was, well, look, you know, you have a Jimmy Carter, you have, um, uh have Pence, you have Biden. They all had papers. Why are they not coming after them? Well, it turns out it's a very different thing. And we'll talk about that. But what they have come up with for Trump is 536 years in prison.
Starting point is 01:04:17 If he's convicted on all the counts that they put against him and given the maximum amount, that'd be 536 years. Interesting point. That's longer than the country has been a country. Longer than it's been since the Pilgrims did the first settlement. 31 counts of willful retention of national defense information, 10 years each. Three counts of withholding or concealing documents in a federal investigation, 20 years each. Two counts of false statements, five years each.
Starting point is 01:04:50 One count of conspiracy to obstruct justice, 20 years. And so he's also under, they get the 500, so that's 400 years. Then he's got 34 felony counts in New York. I don't know if that is, you know, again, I have my doubts about that, but this other stuff you see, the key thing is, is that the difference between Trump and Biden and Pence and Jimmy Carter was they went through and they said, Oh, we got these papers here. And they immediately turned them over. See, what Trump did was when he was told that he had papers there,
Starting point is 01:05:32 he not only refused to turn them over, but he lied about it. And this is what I said from the very beginning. His big exposure to all of this stuff is that he can't keep his trap shut. And that makes him liable for perjury traps and other things like that. And, uh, you know, going back to Martha Stewart, they went to Martha Stewart. They wanted to post her child for insider trading. They couldn't get her for insider trading. However, they did say, well, you lied to the FBI. So we're going to send you to jail for that. And that's what they sent her to jail for. It's very easy to get Trump talking and to get himself in trouble over that aspect than the rest of this stuff.
Starting point is 01:06:23 As a matter of fact, this isn't even about whether or not he had highly secured documents. He did, but it's really about his willful retention of this stuff. It's concealing documents. It's making false statements about it. That's what it's truly about. Stephen Kaspar says, if they're worried about what Trump has while the rest of our politicians are selling us out to the highest bidder. See, that's true. That's true.
Starting point is 01:06:42 That is not just a perception. That is a reality. They don't care that Biden is not just a perception that is a reality you know they don't care that biden is selling you know just one particular instance five million dollars on this thing uh and this is what is really dangerous about all this uh eric gavarmi thank you very much for the tip i appreciate that on rock fan he says first everyone was going to die of covet then everyone is going to die of climate change can't believe people are buying all this stuff. That's right. Rhonda Tate said, like the music. Well, thank you very much. I finally got something else finished over the weekend. So Johnny Freedom, Trump said, take them now and litigate later. Such a fraud. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:07:23 Take the guns and do the due process later. Well, I guess what goes around comes around, doesn't it? Solocat, 1980. Trump is not worth our loyalty when he has betrayed us at every turn.
Starting point is 01:07:36 He is a demon rat. I agree. We people. Trujillo calls the entire LGBT plus agenda out. He doesn't mince words. Could step on some toes. Yeah, well, I entire LGBT plus agenda out. He doesn't mince words. Could step on some toes. Yeah, well, I do that all the time.
Starting point is 01:07:50 Um, you know, it's, uh, it's just, uh, you gotta do that when, um, when it's there. Uh, Aaron Moss, nobody even protested the J six people. Most were good folks who did nothing wrong. That's right. Isn't that interesting? You know, you got people who were, uh, given, they didn't violate any law and they were punished. And, you know, Trump didn't stand up for them and they were his own people. So that should tell us something about it. You know, we look at unequal application of law. We look at unequal protection. We're like a people who should have been pardoned by Trump.
Starting point is 01:08:31 He didn't do that. The Syrian girl, the problem with that is that we don't have many lesser magistrates who are not totally in with the political mud at the state and federal levels. That's right. But it's easier to fix them there. That is the top part. And when we get to this Pennsylvania thing, I'll give you an example of that. You had scumbags at the local level and you had some good people at the local level in that particular case. And we'll talk about that coming up. But let's take a look at what some of the lawyers are saying. Jonathan Turley, who doesn't have an ax to grind with Trump whatsoever. Yes, okay, he's on Fox News still. He's not an anti-Trumper by any means whatsoever.
Starting point is 01:09:02 And this is the headline on the op-ed piece by Jonathan Turley. He says, scandal may be Trump's element, but this time may be different. Yes, he loves the scandal. He thrives on the scandal. It makes him ever more popular. However, he believes that there's real crimes at the base of this. And again, that's not the issue. The issue is, and of course,
Starting point is 01:09:28 the greater crime is being ignored. I looked at this and my first reaction was that it was like the Dennis Hastert thing. Here's a guy who's a pedophile being blackmailed by somebody that he sexually abused as a child. And what did they get him for? Not for being a pedophile.
Starting point is 01:09:43 They get him because he took money out of his bank account to avoid anybody asking questions. He did it structured withdrawals. Well, again, I don't even see a reason for that to be a crime. I can understand their justification. They say, well, we want to know if you're putting money into the bank. We want to know if you've got unreported income that you're not paying taxes on. But after you send the bank, it's already been reported on. And why would it be a crime to take it out in a way
Starting point is 01:10:14 that it shouldn't be, except that it's part of the surveillance state? And so they sent him to jail for that. And at the sentencing, the judge referenced his pedophile stuff. So you knew that that was what they were sending him to jail for, but that's not what they were charging him for. And the sad thing about it is, is that the government at every level could fix this by getting rid of the statute of limitations. You see, he committed these crimes a while back, like most of these people. But the statute of limitations just says, well, we're not going to try people on. You can remove the statute of limitations.
Starting point is 01:10:52 They've done it temporarily in California. And so you see a lot of charges against celebrities and movie studios by people who said they were sexually exploited or abused when they were a child because they temporarily removed the statute of limitations. Just permanently remove it. It's difficult enough to prove the case when decades have passed. But it ought to always be there. At the very least, these pedophiles ought to always be looking over their shoulder. The fact is, many people will see this indictment as confirmation of their worst expectations
Starting point is 01:11:22 of either Trump or the Justice justice department says Jonathan Turley. It'll be difficult to get through a trial before the 2024 presidential election. See, that's the purpose. And I said, my first saw this, I said,
Starting point is 01:11:32 you know, that just like the Manhattan trial over, you know, lying about documents or whatever it was that, uh, just like that trial, they're going to do it next year at the height of the election season. And that's only going to underscore the political aspects of this.
Starting point is 01:11:49 And it is political if they come after one person's crimes and not the other party. He goes on to say, Jonathan Turley, even if the Justice Department pushed for a trial, judges likely would balk at the notion of trying this case just months before the election. Well, we'll see. Either way, Trump, if he won re-election to the White House, could give himself a pardon before or after any conviction. Well, you know, that's an interesting thing, and there seems to be some disagreement as to whether or not you can pardon somebody before they're convicted? Seems to me like you can, but this is why, and this Alvin Bragg joker in the Manhattan DA, just because he's doing something doesn't mean that he's right, for sure.
Starting point is 01:12:37 But, you know, he's coming after Steve Bannon again because he said Steve Bannon was pardoned by Trump before he was convicted. And so I can come after him and it's not double jeopardy. Well, I don't know. But again, that would be two different things. Can you pardon yourself? And can you do it in advance? I don't so much have a problem with a pardoning in advance.
Starting point is 01:13:02 But I do have a problem with somebody pardoning themselves. You want to talk about a banana republic situation? You know, a free shot, a free get out of jail card for any presidential dictator who commits a crime. Any crime he commits, he can pardon himself for it. Bribery, the whole bit.
Starting point is 01:13:22 You don't even need to have a corrupt Department of Justice like biden does you just pardon yourself well excuse me it's like steve martin right uh for two years uh turley i've said that the mar-a-lago charges particularly obstruction represent the greatest threat to trump it remains baffling why he forced this issue over these documents rather than just giving them all back. And this is what everybody is saying. You know, this is what Turley is saying. Chris Christie said the same thing.
Starting point is 01:13:50 But you look at Chris Christie and you go, okay, okay. He's running against Trump. He hates Trump and all the rest of the stuff. But that's the issue. He was given a long time just to give them back and he refused to do it. And then he lied to them about that. See, that's the key indeed the ultimate jury in this case will prove to be the american people if the 2024 election could be a
Starting point is 01:14:12 come a referendum on this case isn't that sad with all the things that they're doing to us right trump is all about 5g uh surveillance is what that's about it's got health issues in it as well, or he doesn't care about that. He created the vaccine. He's proud of that. He did lockdown. He set precedents with that. He set precedents with gun control. And yet, and you look at, we've got CBDC that's being rolled out,
Starting point is 01:14:38 all of these other things. Oh, we're going to talk about Trump. This is what they want. They want it to be a professional wrestling drama between Trump and Biden. That's what they want. Both sides want that. They don't want us talking about a global digital ID and all the rest of this stuff that they're doing.
Starting point is 01:14:57 It'll become a referendum on this case. Turley says, I've long maintained that presidents can pardon themselves and Trump could well use this his mugshot as a campaign poster well i don't know about that and i would strongly disagree that they should if there's some kind of legal loophole that they can do that that's a very bad idea when you talk about corruption man uh trump admitted on tape here's the key admitted on tape. Here's the key. He admitted on tape that he didn't declassify secret military documents that he kept. And it's kind of interesting when you look at the recordings that they have and the transcript that's in the indictment.
Starting point is 01:15:37 Here's how one, I'll read two of them. They're short. Trump says, well, with the, and he cites the name of a senior military official. Uh, let me see that. I'll show you an example. He said, I wanted to attack this particular country, which they've redacted. Isn't it amazing? I have a big pile of papers. This thing just came up. Look, this is him.
Starting point is 01:15:59 They presented me with this. This is off the record, but they presented me this. This was him. This was the defense department and him. And he's showing it to the writer and the writer says, wow. And then Trump says, we looked at some, this was him. This wasn't done by me. This was him. All sorts of stuff. Pages long. Look at this. And the staffer says, and Trump says, wait a minute, let's see here. And staffer laughs. Yeah. He says, I just found, isn't that amazing? This totally wins my case, you know?
Starting point is 01:16:30 Totally wins my case. How the irony of that. Totally loses his case. He hasn't got a clue. Again, he's incapable of acting except out of his own perceived self-interest or out of revenge. And that appears to be what is happening here. People ask his motivation for this stuff. Is it there to defend?
Starting point is 01:16:50 He's showing this to a writer? Is he building a case? Is he going to write his memoirs and say, see, I told you that this wasn't my policy. These people were rebelling against me. Whatever. But it's about him. And he cares more about his perception, his public perception, than he does about genuine military issues here and national security secrets.
Starting point is 01:17:13 Trump said, I was just thinking because we're talking about it. And, you know, he wanted to attack country A. And Stafford says, yeah, you did. He says, this is what was done by the military and given to me. I think we can probably, right? Stafford says, well, I don't know. We'll have to see. Yeah, we'll have to try. He says, we can what was done by the military and given to me. I think we can probably write. Stafford says, well, I don't know. We'll have to see. Yeah, we'll have to try.
Starting point is 01:17:27 He says, we can declassify it. Admits that it's classified. Stafford says, yeah, we'll have to figure that out. Yeah. Trump says, see, as president, I could have declassified it. And the staffer says, yeah, and laughs. Trump, but now I can't, you know. But this is still a secret. Stafford says, yeah, and laughs. Trump, but now I can't, you know. But this is still a secret.
Starting point is 01:17:46 Stafford says, yeah, and laughs, and says, now we have a problem. And Trump says, isn't that interesting? And then the special prosecutor says, yeah, I think that's very interesting. He was the one now, I guess, that should say, this totally wins my case. That's why I said it's ironic. And yet, it's his ego. It's his ego that he would refuse to do this
Starting point is 01:18:14 and why? What's his motivation? People ask. Well, I think he'd look at that back and forth. He wants to tell people about this. He wants to show something about these military people to defend his reputation, not to defend this country. Chris Christie, as he goes on with Fox news and he got Brian kill me, um, kill me. I think it is. I just, I always refer to him as kill me. I can't stand the way to listen to that guy. Uh, Chris Christie Chris Christie says, let's stop talking about the double standard thing here. And he's true, right? There is a double standard, and that's true, and that's what makes this even more complicated.
Starting point is 01:18:53 That's another aspect of it. But in terms of when it comes to there's a double standard in the sense that they're not going to come after Biden or Hunter for their financial corruption, right? But it's not a double standard when it comes to the papers, to the papers. In the sense that they're not going to come after Biden or Hunter for their financial corruption, right? But it's not a double standard when it comes to the papers. Christie said, the problem with all this is that it's self-inflicted. I don't know that the government even knew that Biden had those documents or not.
Starting point is 01:19:21 But they did know that Donald Trump did. And in fact, they asked for them to be turned over voluntarily for over a year and a quarter. And they got them back in dribs and drabs. And at least if you believe the accounts that you're reading right now, and I take them with a grain of salt because I did this work for seven years. I know you can't believe anything until an indictment comes out. This is before the indictment came out. But he says, if in fact you're keeping those things knowingly, even after the government has asked for you to bring them back, the excuses about, oh, they were classified or declassified automatically when I left the office, well, that's just wrong. I mean, I know that as a legal matter. He says, and then it's a bigger problem than whether or not he's indicted, because all of these are self-inflicted wounds.
Starting point is 01:20:09 Just return the documents and stop doing this. Why do you have to be the center of negative attention all the time? Why do you have to be angry all the time? And that's what Donald Trump has done. And so that's where we see this thing, right? Just return the documents. It's self-inflicted wounds. How many times have we seen Trump do self-inflicted wounds?
Starting point is 01:20:30 How many times has he shot himself in the foot with his mouth? And that's exactly what he has done. As I said before, his big jeopardy is going to be that he is going to fall into the perjury trap. Well, he did it in a big way. He not only committed perjury, but he continued to keep these documents when they said to give them back. Bill Barr says the Trump indictment is very damning, even if only half of it is true. And again, as I said before, only Alan Dershowitz comes to his defense, but it is a qualified
Starting point is 01:21:03 defense. Alan Dershowitz says this fails a crucial test. He says it doesn't meet what I call the Richard Nixon standard, which was very clear obstruction of justice, destroying evidence, paying bribes. This is too close a case to bring against the man running for president against the incumbent president, he said. But there are two paragraphs in it, and these are the paragraphs that I read you. These paragraphs refer to Trump allegedly showing an unidentified writer and publisher
Starting point is 01:21:34 and staff members a, quote, highly confidential plan to attack a country. And I believe it refers to Mark Milley. Either way, it doesn't really make any difference six days later trump showed the writer and the publisher what he described as a plan of attack from the same general and um you know again he had said that mark milley uh was quoted in july 15 2021 as fighting to stop trump from ordering an attack on Iran. So six days later, he's showing this. And what he's doing is defending himself by saying, I wasn't the one who wanted to attack Iran. He was the one who wanted to attack Iran. See, this is why I kept these documents, to defend myself. Well, that may be, uh, you know, again, you can understand that he would
Starting point is 01:22:22 want to do that, but that seems to be his motivation. And it is also a violation of the law, of the clear letter of the law. And so even Alan Dershowitz says, well, that's going to have to be explained. We're going to have to hear an exception from Trump's lawyers or from Trump as to how we justify having shown to somebody who doesn't have any security clearance, allegedly some information about a plan to attack Iran. Yeah, that would be the thing that you would have to do. That's what I'm saying. Even Alan Dershowitz can't get past that paragraph as much as he wants to defend Trump. And so I don't see anybody out there on either side of this that isn't saying
Starting point is 01:23:07 that it's a big crime. But the public perception is going to be the details. And the public perception is, rightfully so, that Biden can do anything that he wants. And not only will he not be charged, but the Department of Justice and the FBI will cover up his crimes, his bribery, and all the rest of the stuff. And then you and I, looking at all this, understand that we're nothing but pawns in this game of 4-D chess. And they feel like they can poison us, lock us down, murder us, send us to war, unjustified war. None of this matters to them. Why? Because it doesn't matter to us.
Starting point is 01:23:52 You see, the problem is not just that they are arrogant and on their own. The problem is that we think so little of ourselves, so little of our family and of our future and the future of our children, that we care far more about the future of Donald Trump than we care about the future of our children growing up in a surveillance state that is ruthless and unaccountable to law. And we simply don't care about that because I know all the people say, well, that's why we're concerned about Trump. No, no, you're not saying anything about your stuff. You didn't push back against Trump when he locked you down and put in a medical martial law state.
Starting point is 01:24:33 So don't tell me that you care about the future. Don't tell me that you care about your future. If you didn't push back against Trump, then. He has an ace in the hole. And that is the judge, Eileen Cannon, was appointed by him. And she already has been seen to go to bat for him. So for the Department of Justice,
Starting point is 01:24:59 Judge Cannon may be a loose cannon. Shut this whole thing down. Who knows? General McGovern, thank you very much for the tip. He says, Dave, thanks for keeping us posted.
Starting point is 01:25:11 My 10 year old daughter said she likes the music on your show. Well, thank you. And you have a relaxing voice. Help her to fall asleep at night. Well, I hope I don't put too many people to sleep with my relaxing voice, but I thank you. I take that as a compliment.
Starting point is 01:25:22 I appreciate that. Thank you. Being able to pardon yourself, says my son in advance, it seems like a dangerous combo. Yeah. It was like a legal version of a Catholic indulgence. And of course that is something that is very much a part of their mindset. You know, you can get a pollution indulgence for the green religion. Uh, they call it, you you know it's a carbon uh allowance
Starting point is 01:25:46 right they should call it carbon indulgence just so we understand it's religion right you can pay in advance and you can pollute all you want you just have to pay some billionaire you know like larry fink or bill gates or you know al gore somebody like that maybe you pay a global governance for that, corporate governance. Trump could have pardoned J6. Yes, he could have tried at least, right? He didn't care. Didn't care.
Starting point is 01:26:14 There are a lot of people who are falsely locked up, and Julian Assange was one of them. And Trump decided that instead he would pardon the wealthy white-collar criminals especially if they're friends of Jared Kushner and he also says I've come to the conclusion that I'm a hippie I hate government like protest songs want freedom I'm anti-war and I'm counter to the culture and I drive a VW the the Atlas SUV. There you go. Yeah. They're coming back with an electric version of the original VW van. So there you go.
Starting point is 01:26:55 That's your chance to go full on hippie. But I don't think you probably want that. You probably want to keep your SUV. A Syrian girl. Trump's lack of compassion on the J6ers would be reason enough to turn away from him. Yeah. Even if he weren't a multimurderer by biological injection. Doug Elkin says the problem with protesting in D.C. for the J Sixers is that they'll get your cell phone data and nab you for being in D.C.
Starting point is 01:27:18 That's right. That's the way it's going to be. And, you know, Carrie Lake now, I guess we'll start doing some rallies. You know, I got a gun. Come on in while you talk about a rope it up. Who is she working for? Whether she realizes it or not.
Starting point is 01:27:35 Uh, we're going to take a quick break and we will be right back. Let me tell you the David Knight show. You can listen to with your ears. You can even watch it by using your eyes. In fact, if you can hear me, that means you're listening to the David Knight Show right now. Yeah, good job and you want to know something else you can find all the links to everywhere to watch or listen to the show at the david night show.com That's a website. All right, and let's talk a little bit about the flyers.
Starting point is 01:28:32 I had an interesting picture that was sent to me by somebody, a listener in Canada. And I want to see what the audience thinks these things are. But before I get to that, I had another email from Mark. Thank you, Mark. If anybody wants me to use their last name, I'm not trying to hide who people are, you know, because I don't want them to get credit for something. But, you know, let me know if you want me to use your last name. Otherwise, it's always first name basis. I don't want to get anybody in trouble in the surveillance state that we live in.
Starting point is 01:29:03 But he said, since you brought up the question of solar power during today's show, I thought you'd appreciate this. Canada, smoke caused a 50% reduction in solar power production in the northeastern U.S. from the Gateway Pundit. And yes, I saw that. Not surprising, is it? But again, the question is, is there geoengineering that is causing this smoke to be even more of a factor than it has been in the past?
Starting point is 01:29:32 Uh, there's one aspect as to how these fires started. My biggest concern in all of it is the obvious one that something needs to be done about forestry management, because that's, what's making the fires, no matter about forestry management because that's what's making the fires no matter how they start that's what's making them uncontrollable but let's talk a little bit about the starting of the fire because this is also sent to me by ed in canada he says um and he sent me pictures and take a look at these pictures here um he said i was this was dropped from a plane or a balloon. No balloon was present. It also had a battery pack with an on off switch found this on my land,
Starting point is 01:30:11 not so far from the Alberta fires. Was this maybe designed to short out or something? I thought that's kind of interesting. Look at that. That's the package. And he opened it up and I couldn't figure out what was in that. Yeah. And again, I don't know what is really behind this. Um, there's, um, that'd be an easier explanation than the, um, fire breathing drones that Stu Peters was imagining. Flame throwing drones. I said, you know, go for the full, if you're going to do clickbait, go full into GMO modified fire breathing dragons. And breathing dragons and let's just you know let's make an interest but it really is a couple of other things that are there you know the military does have a history of using force fires as a weapon and of doing weather control
Starting point is 01:31:00 i would add as well this is that is a headline vaccineimpact.com. If you look at the Vietnam War, after the Vietnam War, you had one individual was given a Medal of Honor by the president because of weather modification and changing rain patterns and things like that for them. And then shortly after that, you had, and I believe the year was 1974, you had a global treaty that a lot of nations signed on to, limiting what they could use, limiting the use of weather as a weapon. And then we have a lot of research that's been done by Dane Wigington of geoengineering.org. There is a report that he put out last year that Vaccine Impact republished.
Starting point is 01:31:54 It was a 17-minute video, Wildfires as a Weapon, the U.S. Military Exposed. Since it's 17 minutes, I'm not going to play it for you. But if you want to see the full thing, you can go to Vaccine Impact, or you can just look up the title. It's on YouTube, I believe. Wildfires as a Weapon, U.S. Military Exposed. And he says, is the military industrial complex insane enough to incinerate Earth's last remaining force in order to achieve
Starting point is 01:32:19 the objectives of the global controllers? Why, of course they are. They'll do anything to achieve their objectives. A formerly classified U.S. military document titled, quote, forced fire as a military weapon, unquote, is a truly shocking expose of planned scorched earth destruction. Well, why would they be any different than Sherman, right? And it goes back before the Civil War. I mean, they've always had scorched earth policy, different armies have. The U.S.
Starting point is 01:32:53 Forest Service actually participated in the research and the planning that went into the military instruction manual for carrying out orchestrated forest fire catastrophes. You see, this is not incompetence. It is malicious. The short video reveals the shocking degree of research that the U.S. military and the U.S. Forest Service has put into preparing forests for extreme incineration. And of course, if their objective is to take everything from us and lock us down with climate change, this would be one thing that would certainly be on their list.
Starting point is 01:33:33 The climate engineering atrocities are a primary factor in the equation of exponentially increasing forest fires and fire intensity. Geoengineering operations are disrupting the global hydrological cycle, drying out forests, driving record wildfires around the world. Climate engineering is fueling global incineration. And of course, if you leave with the forestry protocols that they have right now, It's like leaving massive containers of gasoline in the forest. As I've mentioned over and over again, climate change activists are ignoring crucial factors behind the wildfire says Trump's administrative secretary, uh, who is a former interior secretary. That's David Bernhardt claims that climate, this is from Fox news claims
Starting point is 01:34:24 that climate change is behind the wildfire smoke coating parts of the East Coast, does not tell the whole story, according to the former Interior Secretary Bernhardt. He said, quote, to be candid, if you look at these issues throughout the United States and Canada over time, it's possible that climate is changing, he says, but at the same time, you can say that forest management practices have contributed greatly to a much higher fuel load. And fuel loads are the large driver of catastrophic wildfire. He said they even refer to it as fuel, fuel to the fire, the deadwood that remains there because that's their policy.
Starting point is 01:35:08 Yeah. And regardless of how it starts, you know, whether it's flamethrowing drones in the forest to incinerate things, or if it's just somebody with cigarettes out there or deliberate arson starting it. Once it gets started, they have laid the foundation there for control, just like I said before, just like they laid the foundation for medical martial law with the Model State Health Emergency Powers Act, part of the Dark Winter, the 9-11, the false flag anthrax attack, and then that legislation that went out, all that back in 2001, then practicing it, and it was all there.
Starting point is 01:35:57 And they've got everything they need for uncontrollable fires right there. And it's part of their policy. Regardless of how they start, they become uncontrollable. So Bernhardt says that climate change has been a factor in causing the fire season. It's drier, but that's not climate change, even if you don't think that it's geoengineering. That's not climate change. You have dry seasons. It's a thing.
Starting point is 01:36:24 Look at the tree rings. They vary from year to year, depending on whether it's a dry or a wet year, you see. Having a dry season is not climate change. That has been going on forever. You know, you cut open these trees and you see centuries of tree rings, and they're not uniform. It changes from year to year. You don't like the weather? Wait, it'll change, as the saying goes.
Starting point is 01:36:52 Anyway, he said, but it's poor forest management. He says, if you don't use methodologies to clear some of the excess product out, it's just sitting there literally as a tinderbox for a match. In this case, what we're seeing from Canada is fires that are largely caused by lightning or strikes with an element of very, very high fuel load. So Representative Ryan Zink commented about this. He says he has zero sympathy for D.C. politicians who are complaining about the smoke. He says, whether you're a climate change activist or a denier, it doesn't relieve you of the responsibility to manage our forests. He says, if you don't manage our forests, this is what happens. And so Bernhard also said, you can see very significant differences between privately managed forests
Starting point is 01:37:47 that take advantage of these practices and federal and state lands that do not. And the consequences of catastrophic fire are so different and so significant. And this is why I've talked about this over and over again. I've seen many evidences of this. And sometimes it's not enough to take care of your own land. If it gets, um, uh,
Starting point is 01:38:09 you know, to a certain, uh, size, uh, it can take most of your land as well before it has a chance to be slowed down by the fact that you actually did management on your private property. Bernhard actually published a book talking about his struggles with the
Starting point is 01:38:27 bureaucratic state. Now what Trump likes to say, the swamp, you know, all the swamp, all of the swamp is underneath the executive branch and he didn't drain any of it. He didn't pull the plug on any of it.
Starting point is 01:38:39 The swamp is all under the executive branch, all of it. And so Bernhardt published a book, You Report to Me, talking about his experiences fighting these civil servants who stay there from administration to administration, unelected, unaccountable, and they vastly outnumber the political appointees who are brought in to try to run this thing. And these people know who are one of the best examples of this. My son will remember this.
Starting point is 01:39:12 Yes, minister, right, out of the UK. It was, I guess it was maybe back in the 80s or something. We watched it in rerun. And you got this politician who gets elected. And he's totally, it's like jeeves and wooster you know um the uh the butler um who knows everything and this other guy who doesn't this elected politician is completely reliant on this guy who's been there his entire life knows how everything operates where everything is and and completely
Starting point is 01:39:46 controls this guy and it's a comedy and it's it's really funny but it's very true and this is what's replicated throughout the civil service these political appointees come in they're temporary they don't know what's going on they're trying to figure out what the system is and these people who have been there all of their life are just owning them this is another reason why you can't put any confidence in anything getting fixed in washington he said i actually had a career civil servant who had been working to clear and to reduce fuel loads in a national park he said he sent me a series of photographs of the work that they had done he says the reality is that most people that work on these lands have a very good sense of what the true impact is of catastrophic wildfire
Starting point is 01:40:31 and the causes and the need to address the fuel load. And I'll just finish up by just, you know, the only environmental prediction that I've seen come true in the last 50 years is the one that my uncle, who was head of the forestry department at the University of Missouri, Columbia, and he was predicting that this would happen because of these environmentalists. He said, yeah, the forests are going to burn because of the way they're doing this.
Starting point is 01:41:04 I'll just finish up the environmental thing here. He said, yeah, this is what's going to force are going to burn because the way they're doing this. I'll just finish up the environmental thing here. This is a letter from Ty. Listener, he says, remember when acid rain was falling in certain areas and it was going to eventually fall everywhere and melt every one of us? Luckily for me, I had a science professor in the early 90s that mocked it and made very clear that any acidity in the rain was beneficial for plant growth, different plants. Just another scare tactic that never came to fruition. And now I need to figure out how the aliens will be woven into this narrative. Yeah, exactly right. Aliens are coming up.
Starting point is 01:41:40 We're going to talk. Well, there's some new interesting revelations that they've come out with as they're leaking these things out bit by bit we'll be right back In a world of deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act. You're listening to The David Knight Show. Welcome back. I just had some drink that spilled all over my desk while I was doing that. Let's talk a little bit about what happened with the Unabomber. You may have seen that he died in jail at the age of 81,
Starting point is 01:42:50 but he is also rumored to have committed suicide. And then we have some interesting excerpts from his manifesto, which he threatened to take down, I believe it was an airliner, if the newspapers did not publish it. So we're going to get into that. Before we do, real quickly, let me read some of the comments here on Rumble. Mr. VRA says, makes sense that our throat govies would use the World War II Japanese model to start massive fires.
Starting point is 01:43:18 Yeah, that's what they were doing. They were going to fly balloons that would start fires over. The trick was on them, though, because at that point in time, we were actually doing forestry management. They would have had a harder time, but anyway. Irish Marine 57. Poor forestry management is causing these fires. Temperatures have been moderate, and moisture has been well above average this year.
Starting point is 01:43:43 That's right. That's right. Where I am, that's right. I don't know what's happening in canada but where we are uh it's been way above normal i think um certainly more than it was a year ago that's all i've got to go on but hey these people don't have much of a trend to report anyway so there you go that's my one year trend these are the people telling us that the world is billions and billions of years old, as Carl Sagan would say over and over again. And yet they've got, you know, 150 years of climate data only on the biggest cities. And that climate data was taken with thermometers 150 years ago, mercury thermometers.
Starting point is 01:44:23 And they're telling us that if it changes by one degree we're all going to die can you read a mercury thermometer to the tolerance of one degree no no these are these idiots who think when i was in engineering uh school we had um in college they had just before i got there they had just, before I got there, they had just made the switch from slide rules to calculators, but they still had some slide rules. They had giant slide rules, like five feet long, for the instructor in one of these classes,
Starting point is 01:44:57 for the instructor to show people how it worked. I thought it was so comical. But, you know, we had calculators, and they would allow people to have, at first they were so no, you can't use calculators or something. You got to use your slide rule. It's like, what, what's going on? You know, they have tables for everything and you know, you would
Starting point is 01:45:13 have to interpolate between the different values that were there for whatever it was that you had and use your slide rule, do the calculations and things. But, um, you know, one of the things that one of the professors said was, he said, well, here's one of the reasons why I don't like calculators. You go through and you get something, you get an answer and it carries it out to 12 decimal points. And you're dumb enough to believe that you can't measure that you, you, your accuracy. So the nice thing about the side rules is we had, um, we had three, uh, three, um, uh, digits that we would use and, uh, we'd put a, you know, put an exponential power behind it, but we'd only take three significant
Starting point is 01:45:56 digits on this thing. And he says, and you guys think you got 12 significant digits. You don't understand the limitations of the real world. Well, these people who are looking at these thermometers like that, they don't understand the limitations of the real world. Well, these people who are looking at these thermometers like that, they don't understand the limitations of the real world, historical stuff. And they didn't even bother to put the thermometers in most places other than the biggest cities, number one. Number two, the parallax problems that they had with it, or just the resolution that they had with it. And then the third problem is, is that now they are taking a lot of these temperature readings
Starting point is 01:46:26 in cities that are heat islands, even in many cases, putting them out on an airplane tarmac to try to get the temperature. It's absolute nonsense. You know, there are things that you can do from satellites that are more accurate, but you know, it is, I don't, I don't believe any of this warming stuff. I don't believe there is warming, frankly. I'm not convinced of it. These people want to, they write emails to each other,
Starting point is 01:46:51 as they did at the University of East Anglia in the UK. And you had Michael Mann who did the hockey stick thing for Al Gore that he made such a big deal out of in his movie. And they're writing emails back and forth to each other. Our models are not working. How do we hide the decline? They're conspiring to lie to you and they're crafting foreign policy. And when we went in and said, we want to see your data.
Starting point is 01:47:15 Oh, you can't see my data. Why are you hiding it? You're a scientist. You ought to be out there. They're just fundamentally liars. I don't believe any of this stuff. Uh, anyway, Irish Marine. Uh, I don't believe any of this stuff. Uh, anyway,
Starting point is 01:47:26 Irish, uh, Marine, uh, I read that one. Let's see. Uh, Dick on rock fin strange.
Starting point is 01:47:32 All the evidence of mass murder events is a state secret. They tell us about on TV, but we get published transcripts of the damning evidence against Trump already published publicly. Yeah, that's right. They're very, it is interesting what they will tell us about and what they won't tell us about.
Starting point is 01:47:46 John Henry, uh, on Rockfan, according to the mainstream media, the fire was started with a bat that flew in from Wuhan and hit a power line. There you go. That's a good one. I like that. Um, okay. So, um, oh, when I got some more here. Okay.
Starting point is 01:48:03 Um, my son said there was a conversation on rumble about whether Trump was responsible for the jab or just a tool. Uh, so yeah, the thing is, is that, um, if he, the most charitable understanding of this is that whether he's a tool or he's a fool, uh, I would. I would say that he's a bit of both. You can see it in the fact that he's trapped himself with this document thing, acted very foolishly. But of course, he is, just before he, he bragged about these things for two years
Starting point is 01:48:41 after he left office. Remember, it was only just a few months ago they stopped bragging about it. I've got a clip where I'm father of the vaccine. I did this. So many people would have died if I hadn't done this. We would have had more people that died than in 1918 and all the rest of this.
Starting point is 01:48:54 He sold you every lie. And he's acting like a clown to Fauci's straight man. But he kept funding it all the way. And so the thing I don't understand is whether or not, why anybody would support this guy. Because either he is an epic fool who can't help himself or anybody else, or he's betrayed us and given everything that the globalists want.
Starting point is 01:49:22 So anyway, the back and forth i'm not really interested about going back and um and litigating this but um uh you know the bottom line is that he had the power to do something about it the bottom line is is that even before the election, his own people were shouting at him, fire Fauci, fire Fauci. We'll see. Re-elect me. We'll see. Really? And the only time he got upset with Fauci wasn't because Fauci was locking us down. It wasn't because Fauci lied to him about a vaccine that's killing people. He won't admit that it's killing anybody. He got angry with Fauci because Fauci threw shade at him. Oh, you don't criticize Donald without him coming after you.
Starting point is 01:50:11 The only reason he had these disputes with Fauci was because Fauci dissed him. That's the only thing he cares about and capable of actually acting, except out of his own perceived interest or self-interest or out of revenge. And so that's the only thing that he reacted about to Fauci. So let's talk about the Unabomber. And I like the way that Babylon Bee put this out. It's very sad, they said, that invitations to the Unabomber's funeral
Starting point is 01:50:43 have been mailed out, but nobody wants to open them. They did a great headlines. The Babylon B and a tragic development invitations are sent out, but no one is willing to open one comments from his family and the rest of this stuff. But, um, he was 81 years old. I've been in jail for quite some time since the 1990s, a couple of decades. Ted Kaczynski, the Unabomber, who attacked academics, businessmen,
Starting point is 01:51:14 random civilians with homemade bombs from 1978 to 1995, killing three people, injuring 23, with a stated goal of fomenting the collapse of the modern social order well i guess if he committed suicide he just figured that soros can now do the job better than he can so it's like i'm i'm uh redundant here uh soros will collapse the entire modern social order with him three people familiar with the situation say that he died by suicide. And of course, he had attempted suicide in the 90s when he was jailed
Starting point is 01:51:53 at one point in time. One person, Steve Saylor, I don't know if this is true or not, said that Kaczynski at one point thought that he was transgender. He had all kinds of mental issues. They say that he had a very high IQ, who knows, but he had all kinds of psychological issues, schizophrenic and all the rest of this stuff. So schizophrenia would fit with a transgender thing, but I don't know if
Starting point is 01:52:18 that was true. This person sounds like they want to claim him as their own? I don't know. Only one person that I saw saying this, however. But his manifesto called Industrial Society and Its Future had a revival a few years ago. Isn't it interesting that we can't get the manifesto of that shooter in Tennessee? Many people suing for that, but we can't see it. Some leftists, and you'll see this excerpt here at informationliberation.com. Of course, you can find his entire manifesto online as well. It's pretty long. It's something like 30,000 pages, if I remember correctly. I've got it here. But it was very prophetic.
Starting point is 01:52:57 Listen to what he has to say about the left. Now, he's not a right-winger. He hates all of humanity. But he was spot on with what he said about the left listen to this ted kaczynski said some leftists may seem to oppose technology but they will oppose it only so long as they are outsiders and the technological system is controlled by non-leftists if leftism ever becomes dominant in society so that the technological system becomes a tool in the hands of leftists, they will enthusiastically use it and promote its growth. In doing this, they will be repeating a pattern that leftism has shown again and again in the past. When the Bolsheviks in Russia were outsiders, they vigorously opposed censorship and the secret police.
Starting point is 01:53:48 They advocated self-determination for ethnic minorities and so forth. But as soon as they came into power themselves, they imposed a tighter censorship, created a more ruthless secret police than any that had existed under the Tsars, and they oppressed ethnic minorities at least as much as the czars had done we've seen this let me interject we've seen this in south africa too haven't we that's one of the reasons why i don't honor nelson mandela you know it's easy the con the communists will always say this berkeley used to be the center of the free speech movement not anymore right not when they get power.
Starting point is 01:54:26 It's just a means for them to get power. It was just a means for Nelson Mandela to get power. And they became more ruthless with the police state, more ruthless with ethnic minorities than anybody had been before. And the United States, going back to Ted Kaczynski, he says in the United States, a couple of decades ago, when leftists were a minority in our universities, leftist professors were vigorous proponents of academic freedom. But today, in those of our universities
Starting point is 01:54:53 where leftists have become dominant, of course, now he's writing this back in the 90s, they're dominant in all the universities now. And all the universities are doing this. So again, you know, he wrote this decades ago. And he was put in jail in the 90s, so he may have written it three or four decades ago when he started the bombings in 1978. But he said, so where they have become dominant, where the left has taken over the university, they have shown themselves ready to take away from everyone else's academic freedom. This is political correctness, he said. The same will happen with leftists and with technology.
Starting point is 01:55:29 They will use it to oppress everyone else if they ever get it under their own control. In earlier revolutions, leftists of the most power-hungry type repeatedly have first cooperated with non-leftist revolutionaries, as well as with leftists of a more libertarian inclination, and later have double-crossed them to seize power for themselves. Robespierre did this in the French Revolution. The Bolsheviks did it in the Russian Revolution. The Communists did it in Spain in 1938. Castro and his followers did it in Cuba. Given the past history of leftism, it would be utterly foolish for non-leftist revolutionaries today to collaborate with leftists. Various thinkers have pointed out that leftism is a kind of religion. He said,
Starting point is 01:56:19 leftism is not a religion in the strict, because leftist doctrine does not postulate the existence of any supernatural being, but for the leftist. Leftism plays a psychological role, much like that which religion plays for some people. See, the reality is, let me interject here. Our hearts are idol factories. We're going to worship something, right? Worship money, drugs, sex, ourselves, politicians, whatever. We're going to find something that is going to be the thing. Going back to city slickers, the guy said Billy Crystal, there's one thing. And we're going to worship that one thing.
Starting point is 01:57:12 The leftist needs, put that in all uppercase, needs to believe in leftism. It plays a vital role in his psychological economy. His beliefs are not easily modified by logic or by facts. He has a deep conviction that leftism is morally right with a capital R and that he has not only a right but a duty to impose leftist morality on everyone. He said, we use, of course, the term leftism because we don't know of any better words. They reject that label. They are the ones who will create the labels, by the way. He doesn't say that, but you know, they love to label everybody else, but they don't like to be labeled. We use that to designate the spectrum of related creeds that include the feminist, gay rights, political correctness, etc. movements. Leftism, said Kaczynski, is a totalitarian force. Wherever leftism is in a position of power, it tends to invade every private corner and force every thought into a leftist mold.
Starting point is 01:58:06 And part of this is because of the quasi-religious character of leftism. Everything contrary to the leftist belief represents sin. More importantly, leftism is a totalitarian force because of the left's drive for power. See, that's what they worship. The leftist seeks to satisfy his need for power through identification with a social movement, and he tries to go through the power process by helping to pursue and attain the goals of the movement. But no matter how far the movement has gone in attaining its goal, the leftist is never satisfied because his activism is a surrogate activity. That is, the left's real motive is not to attain the ostensible goals of leftism.
Starting point is 01:58:50 In reality, he is motivated by the sense of power that he gets from struggling for it and then reaching a social goal. Consequently, the leftist is never satisfied with the goals he's already obtained. His need for power, for the power process, leads him always to pursue some new goal. Here's the way it's been said. I heard Doug Wilson say that. He says it's not about this person's pronouns, for example. Right?
Starting point is 01:59:19 They use their pronouns and then they'll think of something else to do. It's not about the pronouns. It's not about their feelings. It's not about any of that stuff. It's about getting you to do what of something else to do. It's not about the pronouns. It's not about their feelings. It's not about any of that stuff. It's about getting you to do what they want you to do. And that's exactly what Ted Kaczynski said because it's quite obviously true. We can all see it, can't we?
Starting point is 01:59:36 It goes on, and this is the last one here, wrapping it up. So suppose you asked leftists to make a list of all the things that were wrong with society, and then suppose that you instituted every social change that they demanded. It is safe to say that within a couple of years, the majority of leftists would find something new to complain about, some new social evil to correct, because once again, the leftist is motivated less by distress at society's ills than by the need to satisfy his hunger for power by imposing his solutions on society. So this excerpt was put in there by Information Liberation. I imagine, I haven't read his entire manifesto,
Starting point is 02:00:21 it's 30,000 words, and so I haven't read his entire manifesto. It's 30,000 words. And, you know, so I haven't read all of it. But I would imagine that he probably comes after conservatives the same way. And his key thing was he was concerned about technology. And in a sense, it was kind of interesting. His bombing campaign preceded what you see in Terminator. Remember in Terminator, you have Sarah Connors decides in the second one that she's going to take out the people that were producing the key technology that created Skynet.
Starting point is 02:01:02 She was going to take out the scientists. Remember that? And, of course, they pull it back. You know, one of the scientists they realize is a nice guy and he actually turns and helps them and that type of thing. So they don't have to kill him, but that was what she was going to do.
Starting point is 02:01:14 Destroy the facilities and destroy the scientists and that sort of thing, which really wouldn't change anything in the long run. The same things would have been discovered by other people. But I think that probably influenced the script writing on that. Ted Kaczynski, I've always thought that when I saw it. But Sarah Connor, mimicking him. In this 30,000-word document, they claimed a moral high ground, justifying the attacks in the name of preserving humanity and nature from the onslaught of technology
Starting point is 02:01:50 and exploitation. He said, I believe in nothing. I don't even believe in the cult of nature worshipers or wilderness worshipers. I am perfectly ready to litter in parts of the woods that are of no use to me. I often throw cans and logged over areas, he said. So this is a guy who has a lot in common with open AI in the sense that he can see all these things, and he can put together some penetrating observations, and yet he doesn't get the big picture. He had absolutely no purpose in life. He believed in nothing. And so as a result, he kind of began to hate everything,
Starting point is 02:02:42 and then himself hated his life and committed suicide. It was a tip from his brother that led to his arrest in 1996. The family has claimed that the writings reflected the mind of a paranoid schizophrenic, not of a cold-blooded killer. A federal prison psychiatrist agreed. Yeah, here's the thing, you thing. If you're going to start sending letter bombs to people you don't even know, I guess you are certifiable crazy anyway, right? I've always said that about people who kill. Somebody who murders somebody else is not in their right mind. Even if they're a cold, calculated, premeditated murder,
Starting point is 02:03:23 they're still sick, right? And so I've never really understood the insanity defense, quote-unquote. It seems to me that any killer could be declared to be insane. A federal prison psychiatrist agreed. They dropped the demands for the death sentence. They gave him eight life sentences, making sure that he would never get out of jail, which, in a a way was a greater punishment for him in this life anyway. It did give him some time to believe in something,
Starting point is 02:03:53 but like so many people, he did not use that time to investigate in the realities of God or to make any adjustment or preparation for that. And so he suffered there in prison for decades before he killed himself in despair. And I'm sure he's suffering even more now. At the sentencing hearing, Susan Mosser, who lost her husband in one of the attacks, urged him to make the sentence, quote, bulletproof or bombproof, lock him up so far down that when he does die, he'll be closer to hell. That's where the devil belongs, she said. Her husband, Thomas, a New Jersey advertising executive, was killed with a package bomb in 1994.
Starting point is 02:04:39 She spoke above occasional sobs in the courtroom, noting that her 15-month-old daughter, Kelly, had watched her father bleed after the bomb went off. No, no, not my daddy. He can be right, academically cold about these other things. You see, because he didn't believe in God, he didn't believe in the value of human life, how different is he from people who rip babies apart? If you don't value human life, we turn into the Unabomber,
Starting point is 02:05:20 or we turn into an abortionist. So he knew about the liberal universities because he had a, he'd been working at the University of California, Berkeley, and then quit his job. He was on track to get tenure and moved to Montana, lived in a 13 by 13 foot shack.
Starting point is 02:05:46 And the only purpose in his life was to kill other people. In 1999, after he'd had suicide attempts already, he told Time Magazine he would rather get the death penalty than spend the rest of my life in prison. But he did spend the rest of his life in prison until he killed himself. We'll be right back. Thank you. Analyzing the globalist's next move. Music And now, The David Knight Show. Welcome back.
Starting point is 02:07:33 Guard Goldsmith left a comment. Thank you for the tip. I appreciate that on Rockfin. And, you know, Guard has not been feeling well lately, but he went for four hours on his show. Liberty Conspiracy, you'll see that the other night because I got involved in discussion. That's just how passionate he is about all this stuff and really well-informed. But he said, happy Monday, David.
Starting point is 02:07:58 Thanks for starting the week with a burst of insights and info. I've been listening. Just got the chance to write. Kudos for your work and getting the big picture and for the Mohicans recording. Um, wow. It's been one of my favorite, favorite soundtracks for years. We'll be listening as I stitch my moccasins. That's been one of my favorite soundtracks and my favorite movies. And, um, and I'd wanted to put it in for a while, but you know, it's, it's the, it was actually, uh, the real haunting melody that was there. Of course, what I had there was I changed things around a bit, but I pulled it off a
Starting point is 02:08:31 recording of, um, um, you know, I didn't, it's not a recording. It's a, I actually, we did it with, I did it with my stuff, but, um, I kind of roughly based it on a Fort battle. Um, it's what the name of the track is off the soundtrack. Cause I wanted something that was a bit more upbeat as much as I like it. It, you know, it really has to go for a while longer than we have, uh, for this. And so I thought something was punchy that was shorter would be better. So i changed it around a little bit but um the um it's interesting that song actually is uh from gail as in gaelic g-a-e-l and it was from a scottish uh pop artist very popular in scotland and they pulled it over and adapted it for that film and it really did work well i just always loved Blast the Mohicans.
Starting point is 02:09:26 I loved the historical setting. I loved the setting here in the mountains of Tennessee and North Carolina. It's just beautifully done. Great love story, great history story. An interesting story about the beginning of our country and the interplay and the mixture of the different Indian tribes with the settlers and the interplay between the Americans who had lived here for a long time, you know, just before the American revolution, 1757 is when that's happening. And as they're starting to see themselves as different from this British empire. All of that. It's an amazing movie.
Starting point is 02:10:06 One of my favorites for sure. And John John says, Theodore Ted Kaczynski, while in college, was said to have been the subject of the CIA MK Ultra mind control program. The experiment Ted Kaczynski participated in at Harvard involved psychological torment and humiliation. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, probably so. I, that's something that I've not followed his story that much, but yes, they did a lot of that. Uh, guard Goldsmith says Kaczynski's life was darkly influenced. He turned that darkness into onto many innocent people. My sister knew one of his targets. Such a tragic story.
Starting point is 02:10:46 Yes, it is. And he also says it definitely seems like, you know, it was something like a MK Ultra type of thing. And some comments about the fires. Irish Marine 57 says the fuel will either be removed by proper forestry management or wildfires will remove it. That's right. With all that dead wood on the ground, one lightning strike is all you need yep yep uh and uh john henry 3777 says david trump didn't mean he was going to drain the swamp he meant he was going to drain
Starting point is 02:11:19 the budget he did that really well didn't he yeah he Yeah. He knows how to bankrupt things, doesn't he? Morally bankrupt, financially bankrupt, politically bankrupt, you name it. Trump and DeSantis are at war over their COVID responses. They keep throwing this thing back and forth. Isn't it interesting that Trump is criticizing Ron DeSanctimonious for doing what Trump is telling everybody to do and giving them money to do it? And, of course, he was really kind of the last guy in the first, you know, you're talking accounting terms, right? You have last in, first out, LIFO.
Starting point is 02:12:01 Well, he was kind of the last end of the scheme and the first one out. But Trump is still coming after him. He responded and said he literally moved his entire family here. He doesn't even think so. It was crazy. Why would he do that? And then of course, last week, and it's recounted in this article, uh, the fact that, uh, that Trump, uh, said that, uh, Cuomo did a better job than DeSantis.
Starting point is 02:12:27 Well, only if you lie about the statistics, which was a key part of this whole lockdown thing. That was one of the things that the Trump administration, everybody in it, not just Fauci, everybody in it, Redfield, Birx, Fauci, everybody, including Trump, was lying about the pandemic. And then lying about the poison that they were creating, telling you that you had to do that. So, yeah, under Ron DeSanctimonious as governor, Florida was the third worst state in deaths by COVID.
Starting point is 02:12:57 Right? No? No? You rigged shots while you were rigging us to kill us with the shots is what, what was happening here. And in this story, they point out in 2020, New York had the highest number of reported COVID deaths. Florida was fourth.
Starting point is 02:13:17 The sunshine state has significantly lower death rate than in New York. But of course, none of these things compared to the death rates today with the Trump shot. That's the amazing thing. The Trump would think that this is a winning position. Truly amazing. But that's the way the guy is. DeSantis said it was a difficult situation. We didn't have all the facts, but we all have to sit here today in 2023, look back on March of 2020, and say Fauciism was wrong. Fauciism was destructive. But understand that it is not about one guy. This is something that was planned for decades. It is systemic. And it is a disservice for us to think that this is about one guy.
Starting point is 02:14:05 They want to make it that way, because they want you to believe that one guy can now save us. In the Biden White House, however, they are still, listen to this, enforcing wearing of masks and social distancing if you are unvaccinated. Did you realize this? I didn't. No, they're still, I mean, you had, you know, it's now been, um, a couple of months back in April that Biden ended Trump's emergency executive
Starting point is 02:14:34 order. You know, I haven't been doing that countdown, you know, day, whatever of us being held hostage. So he ended it a couple of months ago, but they just had a college athlete day and they put out instructions for any athletes who are coming in. You better be vaccinated or you're going to have to wear a mask and you have to be social distancing. According to the White House, while lawmakers are not required to receive a COVID test in advance of the event, they will need to wear a mask also and socially distance if they are unvaccinated. And here it is from Fox News. Masking guidance.
Starting point is 02:15:10 This is from the White House. Fully vaccinated guests are not required to wear a mask on the White House grounds. Guests who are not fully vaccinated must wear a mask at all times and maintain at least six feet distance. And you must also recite arbitrary poems on the rest of this stuff on cue. I mean, it's so ridiculous. Everything about this. The magic six feet and all the rest of this.
Starting point is 02:15:35 Well, heart failure deaths in the UK in May were 44% higher than before the pandemic. Higher than they were in 2020 and all the rest of this stuff. It's one of the things I remember, and I've mentioned it many times, about how the CDC was lying to everybody and said, there's more people dying of COVID than are dying from heart disease and from cancer. And I saw Mike Adams putting that up and hectoring everybody and scaring everybody over this stuff.
Starting point is 02:16:03 It shook my head. I still can't believe it. Anyway, but you know, it is true now that Trump is killing people more with his injections. People are having more heart attacks and more cancer than ever before because of his injection, even as he was telling people and his administration back in 2020 that it was
Starting point is 02:16:30 a bigger killer than heart attacks and cancer. Well, now it's just the opposite. He, and again, 44% higher in the UK. So the response from the FDA is to say, we need to double down on censorship. You see, these people are never going to give up. The Biden administration is still masking people who are unvaccinated,
Starting point is 02:16:51 still social distancing people. If they come to the white house, the FDA, as everybody else is looking at this and saying, why do we have, you know, 50% more heart attacks than we did before the pandemic. And why do we have all these massive excess deaths that began in 2021 around
Starting point is 02:17:09 the time you started mandating them for everybody? They don't want you talking about that. So now the FDA is pledging to stop the spread of misinformation, not to stop the spread of the Trump killing shots, right? But to stop the spread of anybody talking about that. This is where our government is right now. They really are absolutely unrepentant about it. Jeffrey Tucker writes, he says,
Starting point is 02:17:37 the FDA is coming very close to saying that if the government does not confirm it, it is not true. First time I heard such a preposterous claim was from Jab Senda Arden, the one-time dictator of New Zealand, who flat out told the national media that the government would, quote, continue to be the one source of truth, unquote. Ministry of truth, right? He said, when I heard that, I immediately assumed that she would be shouted down by every civilized person on the planet. But that did not happen. Just the opposite happened.
Starting point is 02:18:09 She instead was lauded and praised and won a top speaking spot at Harvard, was cheered by know-nothing students. And now the British royal family has conferred on her the title Dame. Oh, there's nothing like a Dame. And sent her back to the South Pacific. This woman is probably the single most hated leader in the whole of that country's history. Yet King Charles has decided that her service is worthy of a royal title. Well, of course he would, because he himself is one of the most hated people. Birds of a feather flock together, so do dictators.
Starting point is 02:18:48 This censorship stuff is no longer an aberration, says Jeffrey Tucker. It's no longer a mistake that was made in a panic. You understand that? You see how cold and calculated this is? Three years on, everybody knows that this... The only reason that the masks have stopped is because people refuse to comply with it. And so they put a brave face on it and said,
Starting point is 02:19:11 well, see, it worked. And so they had to back off because people were not complying. This is the way you shut this thing down. This is the way it could have been shut down from the very beginning. If we'd refused to march to their orders, they would have backed off and tried to save face. All this stuff is face saving. Except when they get a situation where, oh, I really want to go to the White House. Why? Well, you know, I've always wanted to go to the White House and have my picture taken being given a medal like I'm Forrest Gump or something, right?
Starting point is 02:19:49 Forrest Gump was not that stupid. Well, I don't know. Maybe he would have been. The censorship stuff is no longer an aberration, a mistake made in panic, a secret plot to violate settled norms, or something about which these people are embarrassed. Censorship has become the main agenda of many governments in the world today. It is being codified by the European Union, promoted by NATO, institutionalized in every regulatory bureaucracy, and I would add in every country.
Starting point is 02:20:20 That's what's happening. Jeffrey Tucker says we must realize these efforts can no longer be written off as weird aberrations. The push is organized, it's focused, it's intense. It involves security agencies at the highest level. They have made their peace with the idea of hardcore censorship and they will push it as far as it can go. The government has effectively announced that it considers free speech to be a pandemic. And we know how they deal with pandemics, with lockdowns. Take a quick break.
Starting point is 02:21:12 We'll be right back. Using free speech to free minds. It's the David Knight Show. Let's talk a little bit about how they are moving towards this global governance and understand the global governance is going to be a combination of multinational corporations and then the appearance of national governments, but it's really going to be how they come together through organizations like the world economic forum, Bilderberg, these various organizations.
Starting point is 02:21:39 That's how they broker this stuff together. That's how they partner with them. And of course, as I've said before, they have to do it right now this way because the billionaires have so much money, and they don't have the ability yet to tax us directly. So they need them to make this work.
Starting point is 02:21:55 And, of course, they can shove this down our throats, and they don't care. And so I thought it was kind of interesting that Brandon Smith had the same take on all this ESG stuff that I've had on this, why corporations are doubling down on woke even as they lose billions. Well, this has always been the plan. And, of course, they're not losing billions. It's that they don't see you as a customer because you're not their customer. Their customer is Washington and Wall Street, or to say governments and markets, stock markets.
Starting point is 02:22:32 And not even the stock markets, but the people like Larry Fink at BlackRock. Listen to the way Bill Gates put it when he talked about ESG. Well, BlackRock and Larry in particular are a great example of private sector leadership. Yeah. You know, anyone that says that climate should be a factor in how you evaluate the future of a company, you know, isn't, that's not capitalism because companies that have emissions, you know, they are going to be subject to border adjustment tariffs or taxes. You also have to think about companies, you know,
Starting point is 02:23:08 if you're dealing with severe weather events, that's got to be factored in as the company. Yeah, this is kind of like saying, you know, we gave you a choice. You could either get the vaccine or you could lose your job. That's your choice. You decided that you, you know, want to do one or the other. But we're not coercing anybody, right? And so what he's talking about here is simply the coercion.
Starting point is 02:23:27 He's not talking about anything that's real and he knows it. There isn't any environmental thing. And the ESG part of it is social. That's not a threat to anybody either. And of course, Biden is down with that as well. But Larry Fink, I'll just play this for you. I played it on Friday. He said it right out this 2017, Larry Fink, I'll just play this for you. I played it on Friday. He said it right out. This is 2017.
Starting point is 02:23:46 Larry Fink, who's head of BlackRock, and they own more of these big companies' stock than anybody else, and they can bankrupt you at that point. You think it's a big deal that people are boycotting Bud Light? They can handle that. They can handle a drop in 30% in sales and still give $200,000 to one of these organizations.
Starting point is 02:24:10 Here's Larry Fink. You now make a point of that's an investment criteria for you. Well, behaviors are going to have to change. And this is one thing we're asking companies. You have to force behaviors. And at BlackRock, we are forcing behaviors. 54% of the incoming class are women. We added four more points in terms of diverse employment this year.
Starting point is 02:24:35 And what we are doing internally is if you don't achieve these levels of impact, your compensation could be impacted, okay? We're doing the same thing. So it's just you have to force behaviors and if you don't force behaviors whether it's gender or race or just any way you want to say the composition of your team you're gonna be impacted and that's not just not recruiting it is development as Ken said and ultimately it's still going to take time. But I am just as much shocked as Ken is that we have not seen more opportunities.
Starting point is 02:25:13 Yeah, more opportunities. More opportunities to force people to do what we want them to do. You see, Bill Gates is trying to put a polite spin on it, but that's not what it's about. Finally, let me play for you what Biden had to say about mandating ESG. I just signed this veto because legislation passed by the Congress would put at risk the retirement savings of individuals across the country. They couldn't take into consideration investments that wouldn't be impacted by climate, impacted by overpaying executives. And that's why I decided to veto it. It makes sense to veto it. So who decides that this is going to impact climate? Oh, yeah, he would. Who decides what's true? Who decides what the taxes are going to be? Right? He does. Oh, I did this to protect people, right? Yeah.
Starting point is 02:26:05 Government is a protection racket, isn't it? Always is. Um, Aaron Moss, big corporations depend on loans. That's right. And, and, you know, the, uh, the investments by people like BlackRock, you know, the three biggest ones, um, um, BlackRock, Vanguard, and one other, they have about $30 trillion worth of investments in these companies. So you think your boycott of Target is going to make any difference to Target if they can make BlackRock happy? They got one customer, Larry Fink, that they're interested in, and he's got ideas about what he wants them to do.
Starting point is 02:26:42 Rhonda Tate says, if corporations don't play ball, they won't get the loans and the perks. We mean nothing and we're not winning in this. Yeah, they can't get money, they lose. Well, we'll see what happens. That's where they get the money from. They get the money, again, from Larry Fink. They get them started just like the intelligence agencies got these internet companies started. And then they can put out a nice story.
Starting point is 02:27:10 They have, you know, big guys like Fink and the rest of them like them. Look at what we got. We're doing this. They can put out a nice story. They can raise unlimited amounts of money on Wall Street. It's the same as if they were the federal government printing paper. And then, of course, the federal government will make sure that they get the contracts and all the rest of stuff the converse is that they will shut down all of those avenues of money if you don't do what they
Starting point is 02:27:37 want um solo cat says blackrock enforcing wickedness on corporations. Yes, exactly. Um, appropriate name, isn't it? Caught between a black rock and a hard place. A Syrian girl. Maybe our boycotts can't offset black rock, but we should still do them. I agree. I agree. Uh, force these corporations into a corner where government is their only customer. I agree. And we ought to, we ought to do it just from a standpoint of not participating, not living along with the lie. Uh, that is not a futile exercise, frankly. Um, so, uh, uh, why J 72 S uh, with the Biden policy, they don't define what is fully vaccinated, right?
Starting point is 02:28:19 Is that five times or six times? Uh, how many times my son's says vaccines are like a box of chocolates you never know what you're going to get next yeah that's right which which adverse effect you're going to get next um so um yeah forced behavior is coercion as uh png poo six says that's right it is not choice so esg is not going to go away on its own, says Brandon. Says woke ideology is not going to go away on its own. These structures will have to be destroyed, but you can't rebel against a structure that you rely on for your daily survival.
Starting point is 02:29:00 So you have to first separate from it, and that's the key thing. We need to separate from these systems that we have become dependent upon and reliant upon because they are weaponized against us. It is a trap. It is a snare, and they are closing these mechanisms for us. You know, I talked earlier about artificial intelligence and about how it was hallucinating. We talk about how this ESG is a distortion of reality. Well, there's something else that they're claiming distorted reality.
Starting point is 02:29:33 We have some new tidbits that are being leaked out to us by the spies and our government saying that this crashed UFO recovered by the U.S. military distorted space and time. This is something that has been talked about for a very long time by people observing it, even Christian people who have looked at this and said, well, I think this is demonic, but that they're also existing in a different set of dimensions or outside of just the four dimensions that we have in terms of space and time that allows them to do the types of things that they do,
Starting point is 02:30:13 to disappear and reappear and things like that, and yet still be tangible. There's another dimension to it. So a lot of people have thought of that. But now we have this new report. I guess it's kind of up to you as to whether or not you think this is some kind of a hallucination from these people, some kind of a fabrication like artificial intelligence.
Starting point is 02:30:33 Are they channeling their chat GPT? That's out there. This is the lawyer for, and it reminds, we can trust the spies at the CIA not to lie to us about space aliens. Right. It says my son. Yeah, exactly.
Starting point is 02:30:49 Yeah. When they tell you the truth about nine 11, uh, and, um, you know, talk about these, um, unidentified falling objects, you know, the three buildings that fell with two planes hitting two of the skyscrapers almost immediately, you know, within three buildings that fell with two planes hitting two of the skyscrapers almost immediately, you know, within a few hours when they want to tell us the truth about the unidentified falling objects, then we can, uh, think about believing them on some of the other stuff. Uh, and you look at this guy, this lawyer, pull up the article there, Daniel Sheehan, and, uh, take a look at this lawyer. I mean, he does look like Dr. Who,
Starting point is 02:31:26 uh, doesn't he? The, the, the Dr. Who that I remember, I haven't really watched it. I remember when it came on in the eighties, we had some friends who were big, uh, Dr. Who fans. They were British. When I was first started work at Texas instruments, we had a, they brought in a bunch of people where I was working from different um a lot of different countries and uh you know people from england and germany and france and japan i was there as the american we're learning this system that we had but anyway the um these guys that we got to know from england they were all about doctor who they thought it was the greatest thing and this guy this lawyer daniel sheehan looks like an aged tom baker the other the one
Starting point is 02:32:08 guy that i think made it probably popular uh but anyway uh he said the department of defense says that it is not discovered well he didn't say this they replied this i said they haven't discovered any verifiable information to support these claims however he, he was saying that, uh, whistleblowers like Grush, I am Grush and Congress, uh, an attempt to expose what he believes is a government coverup of encounters with extraterrestrials. And, uh, again, this guy Grush, which also doesn't do anything for his credibility, in my opinion, uh, worked with the Geospatial Intelligence Agency, the kind of secret one that has been behind all this stuff about identifying people, anticipatory intelligence
Starting point is 02:32:51 I was talking about at the beginning of the program. So he says, so they found one of these crashed saucers. It was about 30 feet, he said, partially embedded in the earth. And it had fantastical properties. They tried to hook a bulldozer to it and pull it out and it pulled out a shape like a pie slice almost like it was part of the way that it was constructed and in my mind i can see the day the earth stood still uh which is again you look at this and it's like are these people just making this stuff up?
Starting point is 02:33:25 Like chat GPT, you know, they saw the movie the day the earth stood still. And it's got like this pie shaped section that comes out and it opens up and then Gort walks out. Gort, Clotata, what is it? Gort, uh, Clatu, Verada, Nicto is what he said. Yeah. Anyway. Um, did they try that? I don't know.
Starting point is 02:33:43 But anyway, it starts to pull it out. It opens it up. So one of the guys goes inside. So we stopped pulling it out because we didn't want to tear it up. We didn't want to destroy the integrity of the machine. So we stopped that. And they had a guy go into it. He said he got into it and it was as big as a football stadium.
Starting point is 02:34:03 It was freaking him out and he started making him feel nauseous. He said he was so disoriented because it was so gigantic inside. It was the size of a football stadium while the outside was only about 30 feet in diameter. This is why the Doctor Who reference, I was actually going to come in with the Dr. Hume music, and I forgot to put it in the board today. But Grouch, Klaatu, Verada, Nikto, yeah. I am Grouch. So anyway, he goes in, and he says, you know, on the outside it's only 30 feet, but I get in and it's as big as a football stadium. And it starts to make me feel disoriented because it's so big.
Starting point is 02:34:44 You always have that experience, don't you? When you go into a football stadium, it always makes me disoriented because it's so big. You always have that experience, don't you? When you go into a football stadium, it always makes me disoriented because it's so big. Anyway, he says he staggered back out after being in there for just a couple of minutes, but outside it was four hours later. There's all kinds of time distortion and space distortion. So it's four hours late. He's been gone for four hours according to his buddy's time, right? This thing is not moving. So we're not talking about Einstein's relativity, uh, effect, you know, you've got different speed going. If you travel for years, the speed of light, you come back with the twin paradox, you know, and your, your twin on earth is older than you or something like that. No,
Starting point is 02:35:21 that's stationary. But anyway, he, um, what I thought was interesting was that even though he was gone for four hours, his buddies didn't go looking for him. Didn't call to him or anything. What, what's going on with that? Right.
Starting point is 02:35:35 So just for four hours, he's, Oh, well, you know, I guess Joe's gone. I guess they're doing some body probes on him. We'll see what happens when he comes out.
Starting point is 02:35:44 I don't, they don't do anything at all about it for four hours. Does this sound reasonable to you? I mean, there's all kinds of holes in these stories. Anyway, uh, the lack of details,
Starting point is 02:35:53 the documents and the photos are leading skeptics. This is a story from the daily mail, uh, leading skeptics to dismiss as tall tales, the stories of off world UFO ufos stored by secret government programs no i think it's just another you know uh one of these chat gpt type of things these guys are just mimicking what they've seen before i think military and fellow intelligence officials who have voiced their support for grouch since he came forward publicly point out
Starting point is 02:36:22 that he has placed himself at considerable risk if he is lying. Really? You mean like James Clapper, that other guy who used to be his boss at the Geospatial Intelligence Agency? A James Clapper who lied to the country? Under oath? Lied to Congress? On television?
Starting point is 02:36:44 Saying we're not doing any of this stuff and a couple of weeks later, under oath lied to Congress on television saying, we're not doing any of this stuff. And a couple of weeks later you have, uh, Ed Snowden releasing the documents that show that he was lying. And, you know, for five years until the statute,
Starting point is 02:36:54 until the, um, uh, statute of limitations ran out, nobody, not, not, uh,
Starting point is 02:37:01 Republican or Democrat, not conservative, not liberal, nobody in Congress ever suggested that James Clapper should be tried for perjury. Nobody in media, except for me, that I'm aware of, said that he had to be tried for perjury. I said it over and over and over again. Maybe that's one of the reasons why I'm so beloved by YouTube. They love me at YouTube.
Starting point is 02:37:25 They follow me everywhere I go. Anyway, the, um, but you know, James Clapper didn't face any consequences for lying to people about something that was really substantive, right? It matters a lot more to me whether the government is watching me than it does, whether the Chinese are watching me or whether the, uh, space aliens are watching me, right? It matters a lot more to me. But there's nothing about that. And as I said before, when these spies start telling us the truth about 9-11, then I will
Starting point is 02:37:55 believe what they have to say. But they go on to say, they said, well, I know of at least 12 to 15 craft. There were at least four morphologies, more shapes, different structures. Six were in good shape. Six were not in good shape. There were cases where the craft landed and the occupants left the craft unoccupied. But if there were cases where it crashed then is the next little tidbit um you know breadcrumb that they're going to throw to us is that going to be now the uh occupants that were captured or the bodies
Starting point is 02:38:35 without showing any evidence or whatever and if they showed something would you believe it anyway that'll be the next sensational detail that's going to be leaked i think as they're talking about how we recovered Kraft. And they're just, you know, just leaving this out by dribs and drabs here and there. We'll be right back. Joe, we've got a problem. What? Who are you? It's the new mug they're selling at thedavidknightshow.com, right?
Starting point is 02:39:05 So, basically, a mug is something that holds liquid, right? Because basically you can't hold coffee with your hands, right? I'm a scatling, but anyone tries to mug me, I'll be ready for it. You dog-faced pony soldier. They say the mug can help patriots drink coffee, then save the world. This could be bad for us. Save the world? But we owe the world.
Starting point is 02:39:35 These people, they're supporting free speech with every month they buy. Come on. These people, I tell you will will anyway you're listening to the david knight show well my son had some great comments i just saw saw them now he puts them on the board i wish i could get him on the mic to talk but he says uh can a u UFO fuel melt steel beams? Evidently, I guess. And he says, this guy being gone for four hours.
Starting point is 02:40:13 Hey, has anybody seen Groosh? He went in a secret UFO a couple hours ago. It must be really interesting in there. But, you know, otherwise, I don't really care. I mean, come on. Seriously. What is the situation? I mean, so you have thisfo that's crashed 30 feet and um what is it is it like two or three guys that show up to look at it
Starting point is 02:40:33 or do they have the thing surrounded with uh tanks and flamethrowers all their weapons you know like the typical uh science fiction movie you know day the earth stood still movie, you know, Day the Earth Stood Still or, you know, Mars Attacks or something like that. I mean, what do you imagine that scenario to be? It just doesn't ring. It really does sound like a chat GPT thing that they're putting out there. But while we're talking about artificial intelligence, well, we've got one more comment here. Irish Marines, Marine 57. artificial intelligence um well we've got one more comment here irish marines uh marine 57 i've noticed that over the past few years ufo quote-unquote documentaries have exploded in a
Starting point is 02:41:11 number on subscription services like prime and netflix it'll be their next crisis to massively inflate the debt oh i agree i they're up to something with this. All right. I, I spoke at a conferences run by Steve quail a few years ago and there was, you know, they, he takes a, yeah, I didn't really know what was going on at the conference. They just asked me to speak and I went and it surprised me how much they were into UFOs. And it also surprised me, uh, that he had a guy there who, because they were coming at things, you know, from a biblical perspective, you know, talking about Nephilim and giants and UFOs and things like that, in a sense, but there was some really crazy stuff, you know.
Starting point is 02:42:01 I went and I was sitting there and I'm in the second row, uh, I was about to speak or I had spoken. I don't remember which one it was, but, um, you know, it was several thousand people that were there. And, um, Steve Quayle is talking about how he believes that we've already been to Mars and back. And, uh, and he says, so do you believe believe this and he looks at me you believe this and i said no you had to give me some evidence right i mean it's like you're telling me that you walked onto a spaceship and it's bigger than a football field inside you believe that it's like well that's just you saying it and give me some background on this but he had a guy that was there that was, um, all about UFOs and disclosure. And that's all disclosures coming, disclosures coming, all this stuff. And he,
Starting point is 02:42:53 I sat next to him the night before at a dinner and he like hectored me the entire time about UFOs and disclosure. And, um, I said, well, I can believe that it's some demonic thing. No, no, no, no, no, no no you know i don't believe in god this is it's like well you know fine whatever um but um i said it's going to be used i said the whole thing is a deception you know a mischaracterization of what these things are i believe and it's got they've got some nefarious goals and all this kind of stuff but you know these people are looking at uh you know ufo disclosure and it's really as a feeding frenzy. And it's been going back for a very, very, very long time. You know, the middle of the 20th century, you started seeing this stuff. You know,
Starting point is 02:43:35 you go back to the 1920s and thirties, they started talking about their vision of the technocracy where the technological elite would rule everybody else with their superior technology and then you know some of the stuff about how they were going thought they're going to live forever if they converge with machines that type of thing then in the middle of the 20th century after world war ii you know the day of the earth stood still but robert wise um you know that became kind of seminal a lot of copycats, but that same general theme was there. And then you had Arthur C. Clarke, who was part of the 2001 Space Odyssey. He was also part of these technological elite, like I pointed out last week.
Starting point is 02:44:21 He wrote a book or a series of books. I think it was just, I can't remember if it was one. I think it was just one I don't care. Remember it's one. I think it's just one, uh, childhood's end. And, uh, in that he comes up with an interesting combination of space aliens that Americans, uh,
Starting point is 02:44:37 earthlings perceive as being demonic. You know, they walk off of the spaceship and they look like the medieval images of Satan with the horns and the cloven feet and the red skin and the tail and all this other kind of stuff, right? And they come from a planet that is always on fire and all that. So he tried to retrofit and explain, you know, Genesis and the Bible and all the rest of the stuff into UFOlogy, their kind of mythology around UFOs. And that's kind of the way that I see this type of thing happening. That's the way they're going to portray this,
Starting point is 02:45:16 so they can get people to follow their one-world religion, in my opinion. That's just my educated guess. I'm not a prophet about this. I'm not Julie Green. I'm not prophesying that the aliens will win reelection. I'm not saying that Hillary Clinton is one of them. Although you could be just joking, just joking. I've already, I read that Babylon B story in Daily Mail game after me, tried to get me thrown off at Twitter, but they got me shadow banned anyway. Uh, AI has assumed the role of preacher in a packed church.
Starting point is 02:45:48 This is in Germany. I mentioned this at the beginning of the program. St. Paul's Church in Fürth, Bavaria had an unusual scene last Friday as 300 faithful parishioners gathered not for a traditional sermon, but for a technological experiment, an artificial intelligence chatbot assuming the role of the preacher. And so they had it read some generated computer faces, two male, two female, reading a sermon to people that was written by chat GPT. The AI adopting
Starting point is 02:46:23 the image of a bearded black man. First addressed the crowd in Germany. Uh, dear friends, it is an honor for me to stand here and preach to you as the first artificial intelligence that this year's convention of Protestants in Germany, it was a 40 minute long service, a medley of prayer, music, and spiritual reflection organized by a 29 yearyear-old theologian and philosopher. And, you know, he says, I conceived this service, but actually I rather accompanied it
Starting point is 02:46:53 because I would say about 98% comes from the machine. So what's the purpose of this guy, this theologian, this philosopher, right? He's just showing everybody how useless he is. You got a lot of chatty seminar graduates who don't believe in God. Clearly unregenerate this AI is. It doesn't even have a soul to regenerate, right? And it's like a lot of the people who are actually running these dead churches, being run by dead people who are just recombining and repeating,
Starting point is 02:47:31 regurgitating what they have come across in seminary, same type of stuff that ChatGPT does, and it's been done for quite a while by a lot of these unregenerate pastors and unregenerate dead churches, and so now why not do that? It's a logical approach, by a lot of these unregenerate pastors and unregenerate dead churches. And so now why not do that? It's the logical approach. And this guy is working himself out of a job.
Starting point is 02:47:56 And nobody will notice a difference, right? This is the Deutscher Evangelischer Kirchentag, which means the German Evangelical Church Day. A biennial event that attracts tens of thousands of Christians. This year's discussions range from pressing global issues like the war in Ukraine and climate change to the intriguing concept of AI and religious context. You see, this is why the church is dying. It's all right. Well, are you dead?
Starting point is 02:48:31 So now the only thing that's left is to tell the AI, write me some contemporary Christian music about how Jesus is my boyfriend. And there'll be none. You will completely replicated the church without having to get any actual flesh and blood people in there. And it'll be anyway, the chat GPT was then tasked with designing the rest of the service, including psalms, prayers, and concluding blessing. So he said, I told the AI we are at a church congress. You are a preacher.
Starting point is 02:48:59 What would a church service look like? So, you know, when you reject the Bible as your standard, there's no telling where you're going to go to get something to fill in the power vacuum that's there, right? A 59-year-old participant said there was no heart and no soul. Well, there's a good reason for that. The avatars showed no emotion at all, but when they get emotional, right? Oh, well, then, you know, people will believe them. So while AI can create a facsimile of a traditional church service, as he pointed out, it cannot replicate the deep personal relationships that form the core of a
Starting point is 02:49:39 religious community. Well, that's a big part of it, but that's only one aspect of it, right? That's the horizontal aspect, and that's a very important aspect. But there's also the vertical part. And when you look through all this, what is missing in all this discussion is God. As Solzhenitsyn said, we have forgotten God. Narrow Way, Narrow Gate Ministries says there are no quote-unquote aliens. It's all a deception, a ruse, a begotment, a bewitching. They are the fallen angels with
Starting point is 02:50:05 Satan's demonic spirits. I agree. That's the way they're going to present themselves. They present themselves long ago as a panoply of gods and things like that. Irish Marines 57 is someone who was in the military intelligence for six years. I'm highly suspicious of this mid-level
Starting point is 02:50:22 officer quote-unquote whistleblower. If I had to guess i'd say he's part of the propaganda to create a crisis that's also i agree with that as a matter of fact um my son says uh was it what jesus said when he said wherever two or three machines are gathered in my name there i will be also yeah that's what they'll wind up having. Just crazy. Anyway, but that's one kind of danger, right? Spiritual danger. But there's also physical danger that is trying to be highlighted by CNN.
Starting point is 02:50:56 And this is a story that was on CNN. It was picked up by the Drudge Report. One of the most dangerous hours in America is now 11 o'clock on Sunday morning. What they're trying to do is to scare you off from going to church, right? Just like PBS and NPR did that during the pandemic. You know, the most dangerous place that you could be with this is church. You know, people are there and they're singing and stuff like that. Oh, you're going to die if you go there. And this is what CNN is doing now. CNN actually wants to scare you so bad about going to
Starting point is 02:51:34 church that they talk about church shootings and church as if it's a certainty that it's going to happen. I remember going back into the 1970s. My sister would always watch the evening news. I never was interested in the evening news. Local news was garbage, but the, um, I did like Huntley Brinkley report because I love their theme song from Beethoven, but she would watch the local stuff, which did not have a very good theme song. I can't even remember it now. But what they would do is they'd go around the country collecting stories about horrible, violent crimes that are happening to people. Somebody goes to the shopping mall, and the woman is caught. She's trying to get into her car and kidnapped and abducted and sexually
Starting point is 02:52:25 assaulted or, and or murdered or something like that. And so you should start to see this everywhere. It's like, no, that's not happening here. Okay. This is like one case out of hundreds of millions. And Sfatu would say, it's rare, you know, don't, don't live your life in fear of that. And so this is what CNN is trying to do with church shootings here,
Starting point is 02:52:45 trying to scare you. No, you do need to make sure the people in the church are, it is a vulnerable area, just like schools or something like that. And that's one of the reasons why I've had Charles Fun Vic on many times. And, you know, he was warning America about this back in the 1990s, I think it was, or whenever this happened, I forget the date now, um, the shooting in, in South Africa. And, uh, it was way before we started having any shootings in America. And it was at a point where we didn't have a lot of these SSRI, I believe, drug-induced shootings or CIA or whatever is happening with these situations.
Starting point is 02:53:32 And it was still kind of rare. And that was a political assassination targeted there in South Africa, the Marxist. But he was trying to warn people that that was coming to where we are as well and to have security training. And so CNN talks about a situation at a Colorado Springs church. And it was, her name was Jean Assam. She said she had a very bad feeling about it because she had heard reports that a gunman had killed two people at a missionary training center about 70 miles away, had escaped. And so she wasn't scheduled to work that day,
Starting point is 02:54:12 but she decided to go anyway because she was concerned about it. It turns out that as she gets there, there's a sound of a high-powered rifle and people are saying, you know, get down, get down. She pulled out her 9mm and ran to confront him. Now, understand, this is a woman with a pistol. She's going out. She's confronting a guy who has an assault weapon and body armor, a bulletproof vest and so forth, and a backpack. And CNN, the same people have been selling this idea that hey assault weapons they're so potent you don't stand a chance right this is a woman with a nine millimeter
Starting point is 02:54:52 pistol against a guy who's got uh you know an ar-15 or something like that and full body armor and she confronted him and she was was able to put him down. He was out of his mind. He was mumbling and cursing as he was moving around and shooting people. He shot a couple of people before she got to him. And so CNN will put out this narrative. They don't draw attention to the fact that it's a woman with a 9mm pistol who put down a guy with an AR-15 and body armor.
Starting point is 02:55:27 They don't want to talk about that. But they go through this over and over again to, again, scare you about the churches. Churches have long been concerned about losing members as church attendance plummets across denominations. Now they have a new worry, protecting the people that remain, they said. And the pastor that was there said, well, you know, everything that's happening in the culture spills over into the church. That's true. You know, the influence is going the wrong way, isn't it? You look at what happens in a typical church, same rates of divorce, all the rest of these things that are happening in the rest of the world.
Starting point is 02:56:10 And I think for far too long, you know, we've looked at the churches as being, and they're talking about, well, you know, we've got people who are wrestling with all these problems, personal problems, maybe mental problems. We have to keep the doors open and let them come in. Well, that's true. That's true. But you need to have some discernment about things. The church is a kind of hospital, for sure, but that's not all that it is. And we need to understand that we don't need to circle the wagons and become defensive about this,
Starting point is 02:56:37 because if we do, and I'm not just talking about the people that are the church guys, right? But the church is not the building. The church is the people. And if the church goes out and engages the culture, if we make a change in the culture, we're having no effect on the culture. The culture is affecting us. Why?
Starting point is 02:56:56 Well, because we're not telling them the truth. And we're staying, we're hanging back. If we go out and engage them, then the gates of hell are not going to prevail against it. But we don't do that, do we? No, instead we just kind of stay in our little bubble and don't engage the people that are there in the same way that this woman had to go out and engage that killer. We have a killer culture and we need to engage it. And so CNN says, well, consider this sobering Sunday morning scenario.
Starting point is 02:57:32 You got a spiritual seeker visiting a church and finds it filled with metal detectors and armed security guards carrying walkie talkies. As he or she looks around, they may ask themselves, how can a church sing a mighty fortress is our God when they have security teams flanking the pastor and people deemed suspicious of being ejected from the service. Well, you know, I think maybe some of that happened as well during the pandemic. They go in and people say, stay away from me, stay away. I got a mask on. How can they sing a mighty fortress is our God? You know, there's a verse in there about, you know, the plagues and all the rest of the stuff that we go through.
Starting point is 02:58:09 Yeah, it is kind of cognitive dissonance there, isn't it? Speaking of cognitive dissonance, we had the case last week, I think I talked about this, in Redding, Pennsylvania. The guy who was arrested for reading the Bible in Reading, Pennsylvania, and he has now been released. It was an outrage. They said from the local reporter there, Lancaster Patriot, after review of the incident, which took place on June 3rd, the district attorney's office has withdrawn the charges of disorderly conduct against Damon Atkins. They put that up in a Facebook post. It was the county commissioner who said,
Starting point is 02:58:52 based on the review of the evidence and the law, the Berks County District Attorney withdrew the charges today. From what I've seen thus far, I believe this was an unlawful arrest that could open the city of Redding and their police department to legal action. Oh yeah, he should sue them, I believe. But the Reading police chief is unrepentant. As a matter of fact, as people wrote on social media and complained about this, he got very defensive and actually went on offense about it. The Reading police chief said that they were inundated with phone calls over
Starting point is 02:59:26 the rest. And he painted the police as the true victims. He said, since the arrest of Damon Atkins, the Reading police department has been inundated with phone calls. I said, the police chief. See,
Starting point is 02:59:37 the problem is at the top, isn't it? On Tuesday and Wednesday, our communication center fielded hundreds of calls on phone lines that should be used for emergency and non-emergency requests for police assistance. Well, if you are so busy, why are you out there arresting people reading from the Bible? Oh, yes, you're impinging upon our, you know, mission-critical stuff here. You know, we got people out there to arrest reading the Bible.
Starting point is 03:00:01 He said, these harassing phone calls have distracted our communications personnel from fielding calls related to incidents taking place in the city of Reading. Obviously, they're incapable of distinguishing between a crime and between a non-crime, and they don't care about the Constitution. He said, many of the phone calls received have included threats to police personnel, have contained inappropriate language. They got their feelings hurt. Our partner law enforcement agencies are investigating these calls, and we will pursue charges where appropriate. And the mayor, Eddie Moran, voiced support for the arrest.
Starting point is 03:00:38 He wanted that guy arrested. He said, first and foremost, I consider myself lucky to have been able to participate in the Pride March. It truly was a wonderful event, and I look forward to continuing to celebrate the LGBT community throughout the month of June, he told 69 News. I'm assuming that's an LGBT publication. Maybe they should just call it 666 News. He said, however, freedom of speech does not include, I support freedom of speech, but it doesn't include the right to actually talk. You can't disrupt an organized event and interfere with the rights of others.
Starting point is 03:01:09 Well, you tell that to the leftists. They don't want their feelings hurt. Look, it's kind of an interesting situation here. You've got the police chief and the mayor on the side of the LGBT. You've got the district attorney and the county commissioner on the side of the Constitution. That's why we need to talk about the lesser magistrate. And you see that it's a divided thing even at the local level. We know that it's all lost at the upper level. We better fight at the local level because even here, you see that it's split 50-50.
Starting point is 03:01:38 And you know what happens if the bad guys win. Thanks for listening. 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.
Starting point is 03:02:22 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.
