Using free speech to free minds. You're listening to The David Knight Show. As the clock strikes 13, it's the 13th of March, Year of Our Lord 2024. Four years to the day after that ominous Friday the 13th that kicked off the lockdowns, the masks, the six-foot social distancing. But today, we've been talking about that this week.

And so today, we're going to focus on something else. And that's going to be the control mechanisms that are being put in place. And I think a key part of these control mechanisms are the way artificial intelligence is going to be used. And we talk about the silliness with the picture drawing and the chat GPT and all the rest of this stuff. But there is some real serious abuses ahead of this technology. We're going to begin with that. Stay with us. We'll be right back. Well, you know, when you look at artificial intelligence,

it is kind of interesting. A lot of people don't really have a clue about how it works. Clearly, it is copying and pasting and reorganizing stuff. And yet, there seems to be something else happening there. Interesting thing is, if you don't understand how it works, you're not alone. The scientists say they don't understand how it works either. The AI scientists. This is this article from Futurism.

Scientists have a dirty secret. Nobody knows how AI actually works. Our theoretical analysis is so far off what these models can do. A black box mystery machine, eh? Well, they said not even the folks creating this ai fully understand how it works uh an mit technology review had an interview with one of these key scientists obviously we're not completely ignorant said university of california san diego computer scientist mikhail belkin but our theoretical analysis is so far off what these models can do.

He said on the MIT Tech Journal explains many AI models are notoriously black boxes, which in short means that while an algorithm might produce a useful output, it's unclear to researchers how it actually got there. And this has been the case for years, with AI systems often defying statistics-based theoretical models. Regardless, the AI industry is careening ahead, fueled by billions of investment dollars and a hefty share of near fanatical belief. Well, we do know that if these guys train it, they can do it and get it to do crazy stuff. Uh, like, uh, Google's Gemini, they can train it to be racist biased.

Uh, they can train it to rewrite and reorganize history, which is what they did quite obviously. Uh, so they can intervene and, um, they can have this veneer of something that is a chatbot. And again, from the very first time I saw it, it reminded me of a program that was around in the mid-1970s when we were still using personal computers that we built for the most part. And I had a program, it's called ELISA, and it was kind of just random open questions, I think. You know, it would say, how are you feeling today?

It would say, tell me why you feel that way, you know, or something like that. And it just kept coming back with another question. You know, like a psychiatrist would do as you're sitting on the couch, that type of thing. And so you could look at it and say, well, I really understand how this is doing it. But it was still very effective, especially for somebody that would want to think about what was happening inside of the box. But AI is already everywhere, but it's increasingly integrated into human life. The scientists building the tech are still trying to understand how it learns and how

it functions. These are exciting times, said Boaz Barak, a Harvard University computer professor. He said many people in the field often compare it to physics at the beginning of the 20th century. Well, what happened with that? You know, it wasn't at the beginning of the 20th century, but it was Richard Feynman when he started looking at at quantum mechanics, he says, anybody that tells you they understand quantum mechanics doesn't understand quantum mechanics.

So I guess we could say that anybody tells you that understand artificial intelligence doesn't understand artificial intelligence. He clarified it by saying we have a lot of experimental results. We don't completely understand. And often you do an experiment and it surprises you uh again i don't think there was any surprise for the built-in prejudice and racism and google they've been working on that for quite some time in different ways ai models are no longer restricted to the metaphorical silicon valley test tubes as i said

here but it is now big business, a financial behemoth. This is what is really driving the stock market, this hopium about AI. And it's these companies that are clustered around AI that are driving all of the stock market gains, really. Like other technologies, a familiar move fast and break things approach in this industry uh have uh it's going to present challenges down the road belkin said i'm very interested in guarantees and if you can do amazing things but you can't really control it then it's not so amazing again they have shown that they have quite a bit of control over its capabilities.

And one picture is worth a thousand words, and a thousand pictures speak volumes about what these people are doing to control us. And that is the key thing. Because typically, you know, that was not subtle. That was in your face, and everybody could see it. When it starts putting out narratives and other things like that, that's when it's really dangerous. You say, what good is a car that can drive 300 miles per hour

if it has a shaky steering wheel? I guess we could say that about the Teslas. It goes zero to 60 in one second. And I have some amazing news about how car companies are spying on you and changing your insurance rates. All right. This is not something you opted in. That's been around for a while. Uh, that's coming up as well here today.

We're gonna talk about that. Uh, but, uh, when we look at artificial intelligence, most of the time, people will focus on something like some kind of a kinetic threat. And by kinetic, I mean the military, special forces. They talk about psyops or they talk about kinetic ops. You know, kinetic ops are the things where they're jumping out of airplanes and helicopters and stuff like that. Actual war fighting versus psyops and years and years ago when we were looking at the uh asymmetric warfare and the asymmetric warfare centers um admiral mcraven who was head of special forces at the time so we have to understand the special forces began as psychological operations

and now everybody thinks of them as you know the the seals jumping out of helicopters into the into the ocean and blowing things up and stuff like that he has no it's really about special um uh it's about uh psychological operations we would want to go in before there's going to be a war or a coup that we do or something like that we want to know who's going to be on our side and so we would have uh special forces green berets and others would go in and make those kinds of assessments to know who's going to be on our side. And so we would have special forces, Green Berets and others would go in and make those kinds of assessments to know who's on our side and who isn't before we start that stuff.

And to try to manipulate things. You know, we can frequently win a war without having to actually fight it, is what he said. And that's really what they're doing. And so we can look at the traditional threat, things like Terminator and that type of stuff. And this is what, interesting article, this went viral. This is some young engineers, and they're playing around with some cheap commercial drones.

The drone only cost them a little over $100. And what they did was they just um uh fitted it up with facial recognition software and then they could program it to follow or to chase or to attack whoever it was that they had given it the facial uh profile of and so they got a lot of people talking about swarms of killer AI drones. And this is something that will happen. Now, this is something that's been talked about for more than a decade. It's been worked on for several decades by DARPA. Swarms of killer AI drones might sound like the plot of a dystopian science fiction thriller,

but in a terrifying glimpse of the future, one scientist has shown just how easy it is to build an assassination drone to hunt down and to kill people. This is from the Daily Mail. They actually, he put this up on Twitter and showed a short version of it and a longer version of how they put it together. It went viral.

En utilisant l'acquisition faciale AI, le drone a été programmé pour reconnaître les individus et les accéder à leur voie à la vitesse complète. Alors que M. Winis dit qu'il a construit le drone pour un jeu, il dit aussi qu'il a voulu apporter de l'esprit individuals and race toward them at full speed although mr weenis says he built the drone for

a game he also says he wanted to raise awareness for how easily this could be used for a deadly terrorist attack and of course um you know governments uh are also um do terrorist attacks don't they and um they don't need to have commercial commercially available hundred dollar drones a little bit better capability and they'll spend millions and they don't care they just print the money in the post he says i thought it would be fun to build a drone that chases you around as a game however the video quickly shows how dangerous this could be. The drone uses an AI object detection model to recognize faces using its onboard camera. Once it sees a face, the drone is programmed to try and keep it in the center of its view and to fly directly forward, chasing it down its target.

In one mode, the drone will charge directly towards anything that it recognizes as a face. It also has a second setting, which he describes as assassination drone. I was able to add face recognition to it and only make it attack someone it knew who it was, and it could easily identify that person from 10 meters distance. Again, it's just a commercial drone hundred dollar drone using that camera on there doesn't have great resolution the video shows how the drone selectively chooses to chase down its target ignoring other people he said this literally took just a few hours to build and made me realize just how scary it is you could easily strap a small amount of explosives on

these and let hundreds of them fly around. Yeah. If you want to get freaked out and you can talk about how easy it is with, um, with the CRISPR-Cas9 genetic modification stuff for people to do, uh, really crazy stuff and their garage, if they've got a little bit of knowledge about that. And so that's the technology is getting way out of hand and um of course being used by governments governments are creating this stuff but now it's getting to the point where it is spreading very cheap very easy to use elon musk responded to this on x said yeah it's alarmingly easy. I guess he realized he could also run people over with a self-driving Tesla, but maybe they restrained from doing that for the time being.

Small explosive-carrying drones are already having a significant impact in Ukraine. Ukrainian drone operators attach grenades, mortars, other explosive devices to cheap commercially available drones to create deadly weapons. These first-person drones have proven to be extremely effective in hunting down and destroying everything from individual troops to tanks and to bunkers. And, of course, we've seen in this war, this is the first war that's being broadcast on social media. So when one side takes out the other side, they like to put up their videos of it to show the effectiveness of what they're doing. So Russia has put up a lot of videos showing their drones taking out state-of-the-art tanks from germany the leopard two tanks or the um american tanks the abrams that were sent they put pictures of them being destroyed by very cheap

drones relatively very very cheap and uh point out yeah these abram tanks burn just like the rest of them it really is changing things and um so the crucial difference is that these drones are operated by an individual who's always in control of the process rather than an autonomous AI when they're doing it in war right now. But that's going to change as well. So the real danger is cheap, easy to produce swarms of autonomous drones released into battlefields or as a terrorist event into public spaces this is something that was a subject of a book very interesting book by

daniel suarez he's he's written a couple of um fascinating uh books about technical implications of things like dna modification, in this particular case, autonomous drones. I kind of see him as a successor to Michael Crichton. And I'm really surprised that his premises haven't been made into movies yet by Hollywood. Well, not really. I mean, you know, as I said, was it yesterday? I think I talked about the plagiarism or Monday. You know, the fact that they completely as a film that got five Oscar nominations that nobody even wanted to make 10 years ago, because that's how bad Hollywood has gotten the low quality, the stupidity of it, the depravity of it.

And and so I guess I'm not surprised that they wouldn't do an interesting film that's where hollywood is you know the other thing too is this uh this thing that they did with a wrestler john senna i think is his name uh you know to commemorate the streaker that went across you know 40 50 years ago whenever it was and david nevin was on stage and had a streaker go by and um there's a classy cool david nevin who kept his cool and had a very snappy comeback he said well after this guy displayed his shortcomings or something like that you know he continued on a big laugh well what they did was they decided they would have john cena come on and whether or not he was nude or you know wearing a bodysuit or whatever people were talking about that but pretending

that he was not wearing anything but just holding a little paper you know shyly in front of him he announced the best costume winners and i said you know it's kind of interesting uh you know 50 years ago whenever that happened i said you know the oscars at least put on a very classy front with somebody like david niven in a tuxedo and the crass attention grabbers were the streakers i said now the oscars have become the streakers desperate for attention no class just desperate for attention for movies that nobody showed up to watch uh it's surprising anybody watches these uh these award shows i didn't i just picked up those snippets but anyway getting back to daniel suarez the new michael crichton um Michael Crichton. His book in 2012 was Kill Decision. And my son, Whistler, listened to it and then told us about it.

We listened to it on a trip we were taking. And in it, it's autonomous killer drones, but not just random ones. It's swarms of them. And it's very interesting because it's kind of a puzzle as the thing starts to come together. It involves a scientist who is somebody who studies insects, and that's something about the way that they control these swarms of drones. I won't try to spoil all of it for you, but it basically redoes all of the military industrial complex you know all the weapons are pretty much made obsolete as we start to see now happening in ukraine and russia war and uh so darpa is reportedly developing a drone swarm weapon

of mass destruction as my son said nothing good ever comes in a swarm right it's always a bad thing uh they described it as a mass a-m-a-s-s autonomous multi-domain adaptive swarms of swarms swarms of swarms uh this is um again right now you know we got the hooties are shooting drones and things at the at the ship so they can't do it in sufficient quantity to overcome their defense mechanisms yet they may still get a lucky hit but uh that's why they're looking at swarms of swarms uh and so he says you know think about what somebody could do in a terrorist event we have he said we check for bombs and we check for guns but there's no anti-drone systems for big events in public spaces yet well maybe our defense is to have um civilians owning fully automatic machine

guns take these things i mean that's basically what they're doing to defend the ships, right? Um, if you can't trust the population with weapons, now you've got bigger problems than the guns. Don't you? That's what you see in Haiti. Um, AI and the new kind of propaganda. And this is really,

I think where it's very thoughtful article from off off guardian, uh, dot org, uh, about the way that artificial intelligence is going to be used with a new kind of propaganda and control. Because, folks, the pen is more dangerous than the sword. The ideas that are out there.

Changing people's minds is far more important than the kinetic stuff, just as McRaven said it. People have said this throughout history. The psyops are more important than the actual physical war that eventually comes. Because it lays the foundation for that. And it can even affect people's knowledge or their will to, or their knowledge of who to fight. You don't know who's on your side. Just take a look at QAnon and MAGA people.

Take a look at how easy it was for them to manipulate the left in 2020. You know, they were running around putting, you know, pieces of cloth on their face. And they were freaking out when other people didn't do it. I mean, that's pure mind control. Stay six feet apart. Why? Why? Placement Direct TD offers live support.

Encore une fois, je pense que c'est parce que les choses de la reconnaissance faciale ne fonctionneront pas. Donc, peut-être que nous pouvons vous identifier par d'autres biométriques. Peut-être la façon dont vous marchez ou d'autres choses comme ça. Mais c'était tout juste un nonsens absolu. identify you by other biometrics, maybe the way that you walk or other things like that. But it was all just absolute nonsense. And they went for it hook, line and sinker. And then you got stuff that is equally ridiculous with Trump. Well, you know, these vaccines, I see them killing people. But the guy that created it, he has nothing to do with it.

All of that stuff. Oh, he created he he rushed up the vaccine to get us out of lockdown. That he put us in that he put us in over and over again. It's just the inability to think because they have trusted sources or because they have been manipulated. And so this article from off guardian says AI technology for not only the purposes of classical propaganda or simple surveillance. No,

we're talking about entirely novel methods of behavioral modification and narrative control. It's intended to get out ahead of the crystallization of discourses and even the formation of identities and world views world views that's the core thing how do you view the world what is your frame of reference what is your foundation of what you believe that's going to highly affect the way that you receive and process information that's why we talk about a Christian worldview. You see the world very differently from that framework. But, you know, social media gave us propaganda with feedback, as I've said many times. I talked about the fact that, you know,

we always knew how powerful it was for governments to be able to use newspapers and radio and television to manipulate people. And it became more and more manipulative. You know, the newspapers were not as manipulative as radio was. And then television, as it added visuals, it became even more visceral and emotional as it did it. But the social media gives them the ability to do precise measuring of how their narrative is working and to adjust that. Now the AI adds a couple of other, a couple of other things. It adds speed. So I can do this very rapidly and in real time, it adds believability, uh, writing it better than, uh, uh,

most of the time than, than they would write it. And, uh, and it allows them to, uh, have eyes on everything. It's like, you know, think of Stasi, or think of state AI as Stasi, East German Stasi, where everybody was reporting on everybody else, but they were doing that with humans, and it wasn't that effective. If they can put machines out there that are constantly looking at everything and identifying what it thinks is a threat,

whether it is real or not, they will still come after you. So, um, think of it as a state AI, the Stasi. Uh, the idea is to use massive data collection and AI pattern recognition to

preemptively disrupt the formation of behaviorally significant narratives, discourses, or patterns of information. significant narratives, discourses, or patterns of information. You see, TikTok, one of the reasons that they talk about TikTok, and I don't like the way that TikTok is being used, but I also don't like the idea that they're going to ban an app or they're going to ban a website or something. That's a very, very, very dangerous precedent. And so I think uh what they should do just like i believe in the first amendment

i think the appropriate response to false speech or hateful speech is more speech to debunk it i'm not going to change from that position i I'll always hold that. Because if you look at anything else, what does it do? It's a pathway to totalitarianism. That's not perfect. They can overwhelm you. Maybe you won't be able to convince people of that argument. But the alternative of letting the state determine what is hate and what is not hate and what is true and what is false that alternative leads us to totalitarianism and so it's it's still it's not a perfect system because people are not

perfect but it's far better than totalitarianism and so i think the same thing is true of tiktok i think that the um as as manipulative as it is and you the big thing that people say, which I don't know if it's true, I haven't evaluated it or not, but what they say is that the Chinese government is using TikTok to push, if they identify as teenagers within a short period of time, they're pushing very nihilistic, very depraved videos to them. It does just the opposite in China. In China, it tries to instill good values into kids. In America, it messes with their minds. And our government knows that because it does the same thing.

See, that's the problem. All of this stuff is being controlled by governments, and they're not good. Do you want a fraction of the company that broadcasts your favorite shows?

TD, on est prêt pour vous. But they're still, you know, they're using this to not only spy on people, not only to get data for their, to scrape data for their AI stuff, but they're also using it to push the population in a particular way, manipulating it. And our government knows that very well because they've been doing it with media, with entertainment, with education, and then with social media for a very long time. So they're quick to figure that out just like they don't want their control substrate of 5g to be running on chinese hardware because they want to be the ones to spy on us they want to be the ones to manipulate us and so i agree with that part of it but again i don't think that the appropriate response is to shut it down. He goes on to say quotes from a long quote in here from a Department of Defense document referencing back to what they've been talking about since the 1990s. And again, the Internet goes back to the 1960s. DARPA psychologist J.C.R.lider, who called it the intergalactic

computer network. They shortened it up to internet, but they said, as the excess of data now threatens to destabilize techno political imaginary of just in time information, artificial intelligence is advanced as the promissory solution to automating data analysis and reclosing the world in other words what they're concerned about is that we have this very complex infrastructure of information they say well it's getting out of control and the thing that we thought we're going to be able to control is starting to get out of control and so we need to use artificial intelligence to reclose that. It got too open,

right? They got to close the feedback loop on it. They got to regain control of this. Because you see, with the Department of Defense, everything is war. They're at war with everybody. They're at war with Americans as well as with foreigners. When they talk about fifth generation warfare, and this is a favorite term, just as I read to you yesterday, favorite term of these QAnon shills, these anonymous QAnon shills out there. Yeah. Who do you think they work for?

And people like Steve Puchenik. Oh, they love to talk about fifth generation warfare. Well, that's simply playing mind games with you, basically. That's what they're talking about. Psychologically manipulating you. And they're telling you that they're doing it. It's just amazing to me to watch this whole process. So the whole process will work something like this.

The AI scours the massive amounts of data collected in real time from social media and digital communication networks. And then you've then trained the algorithms to pick out disruptive patterns and communications that precede the various sorts of developments that you want to avoid, such as some piece of information going viral. necessarily go viral rapidly, uh, to, um, uh, have the capacity to generate strong and enduring narrative frameworks that over time could threaten the status quo. In other words, some nascent idea, you know, it's like, Hey, you know, this guy's got an observation about what we're doing here. Um, kind of exposing a method. We got to shut this thing down right now and and do it in a very early stage before it goes viral you see this would include such complex phenomena as religious

and political reform movements you see religion and politics has always been at the center of what the intelligence community wants to control and shut down our government, the American government, going back to geospatial intelligence at the turn of the century. You know, they started it in the 1990s as they were starting to fund with venture capital, these different companies that would become a search engines and the social media engines of control. Uh, the geospatial intelligence was there to map out people's religious and political beliefs, to anticipate what they're going to do, anticipatory intelligence, that AI.

And so from the very beginning, they were concerned about religious and political movements. Why? Well, because you are not going to have an effect on them if you don't have a religious and political framework worldview uh foundation you're not going to have any effect the people are worried about are the christians folks you know we've got a foundation we got a worldview we're we're not afraid of their viruses or their narratives because we fear God, because we have a confident expectation that there is a better life that is coming in this. We're going to go down the path of what we believe, and they're not going to change us if we're sincere about this stuff. That's what they fear. That's what they look for.

That's what they want to shut down and control. That's what geospatial intelligence is about. That's what the artificial intelligence is moving toward. Identifying and shutting down religious and political reform movements. And so you pick out key influencers. And then you use some devious run-of-the-mill approaches like shadow banning or some kind of soft censorship uh that's um new to this stage of digital propaganda you know the uh and so again understand this is a a spiritual war understand that our government none of the governments are on the side of God. It is a spiritual war. So they would then cede also, besides a soft

censorship and shadow banning, they would cede counter-narratives. You gently and carefully nudge potentially disruptive individuals in the preferred direction to mold and to shape the flows of information over which they have influence. So you either move them or you essentially ban them. That's the way it's set up. As reported by leafing one company that recently emerged in which has its sites set on quote,

keeping tabs quote on online conversations and actively employing countermeasures. They say at the behest of local corporations and Western governments, it goes by the name of logically dot a I. And, um, so they've been used to, uh, do content moderation, fact checking, you know, these euphemisms for, um euphemisms for censorship. Artificial intelligence powered bots that produce in real time original arguments. Original arguments to dispute content labeled as disinformation.

It goes something like this. Is this the right room for an argument? I've told you once. No you haven't. Yes I have. When? Just now. No you didn't. Yes I did. You didn't. I didn't.

I'm telling you I did. You did not. Oh I'm sorry, is this a five minute argument or the full half hour? Oh, oh, just the five minute one. Fine. Thank you. Anyway, I did. You most certainly did not.

Now let's get one thing quite clear. I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Oh, just the five-minute one. Fine. Thank you. Anyway, I did. You most certainly did not.

Now, let's get one thing quite clear. I most definitely told you. You did not. Yes, I did. You did not. Yes, I did. Didn't. Yes, I did.

Didn't. Yes, I did. Look, this isn't an argument. Yes, it is. No, it isn't. It's just contradiction. No, it isn't. Yes, it is.

It is not. It is. You just contradicted me. No, I didn't. Oh, you did. No, no, no, no, no, no. You did just then. No, no, no, no, no, no. Nonsense. Oh, look, this is futile. No, it is. It is not. It is! You just contradicted me. No, I didn't. Oh, you did! No, no, no, no, no, no. You did just then. No, no, no, nonsense. Oh, look, this is futile. No, it isn't. I came here for a good argument.

No, you didn't. You came here for an argument. Well, an argument's not the same as contradiction. Can be. No, it can't. An argument's a connected series of statements to establish a definite proposition. No, it isn't. Yes, it is. It isn't just contradiction. Look, if I argue with you,

I must take up a contrary position. But it isn't just saying, no, it isn't. Yes, it is. No, it isn't. Yes, it is. It isn't just contradiction. Look, if I argue with you, I must take up a contrary position. But it isn't just saying, no, it isn't. Yes, it is. No, it isn't. Argument's an intellectual process. Contradiction is just the automatic gainsaying of anything the other person says. No, it isn't. Yes, it is.

Not at all. Now, look, I... Thank you. Morning. What? That's it. Morning. I was just getting interested.

Sorry, the five minutes is up. That was never five minutes just now. Afraid it was. No, it wasn't. Sorry, I'm not allowed to argue anymore. What? If you want me to go on arguing, I'll have to pay for another five minutes. But that was never five minutes just now.

Oh, come on. No no he's not gonna say anything yeah so you know uh it's not just darpa that's been doing this since the 1960s monty python was on this game as well and now we have social media that reproduces what you just saw there but you're going to have bots that are going to be uh just like the matrix and you have agent smith being multiplied everywhere although they're going to multiply john kleezes everywhere all over the internet to argue with you to contradict what you do uh logically.ai is as spooky as they come with their u.s headquarters in arlington virginia next door to the pentagon and. Allegedly founded at the tender age of 22 by this strangely untraceable ghost

with the implausible name of Lyric Jane. J-A-I-N. Oh, sounds like Satoshi. They're really cozy with the major Silicon Valley players, including Microsoft, Google, TikTok, while Facebook uses them for quote-unquote fact-checking, rating posts and messages for suppression and down-ranking in all of their social media feeds.

They're also working closely with Western governments and aligned partners across the world with an avowed role in psychological warfare to counter the influence of specifically Russia and China, as well as safeguarding Western states' election integrity in the face of unwanted narratives. I'm sure they're very active with all of the pandemic as well, and the climate MacGuffin also. Logically.ai is also the mainstream media's little sweetheart, being adored by all the usual suspects, such as The Guardian, The Washington Post, the BBC. It has entered into formal partnerships with academic institutions all over the world.

All this gives us an overall picture of their reach and their incredible rapid expansion, which in and of itself begs many questions, which serves to illustrate the astonishing potential for influence an operation of this sort can possess. So the legacy media is being used as strategic force multipliers, while these are the troops on the ground. The multitude of John Cleases out there to take exception and shut you down and to get you arguing with them so that you don't get anything else done. And it's nothing but just the two of you in this little room.

Nothing will be solved by it. And we sign up to do it. Unlike this skit, you don't have to pay for a five-minute argument or a 30-minute argument. You can have it for free if you just get on social media with people. And one really neat addition to the toolkit of contemporary digitized mass surveillance, censorship, and social media, social engineering rather, is malinformation.

Is it truthful? And isn't it interesting that these people are so concerned about the truth when they want to tell you that there's an infinite number of genders in people's minds that they imagine. They're completely postmodern in what they sell people, but then they use the idea of truth. They fall back to that, make themselves the arbiters of truth in order to shut people down if it's an undesirable narrative.

It's not about truth or facts, of course, but it is about the control of socially significant narratives and nothing else. Again, religious, political reform movements must be nipped in the bud. Imagine that you or I express some unit of malinformation in our online interactions. Let's say that this particular statement, even though entirely truthful, gets tagged with the moderate risk of supporting a set of conclusions that could have a negative impact on one of the major pharmaceutical brands with close ties to the state corporate power structure. Well, totally random example, he says. We know that's exactly what has been happening. What this ingenious AI propaganda system then does

is to automatically cordon off this statement by shadow banning, downranking, and other forms of concealment in the information flows. It also tags us with being a potentially disruptive agent, increasing scrutiny of our online and our offline activities. Of course, you can also effectively separate disruptive agents from each other by automatically demoting their posts and each other's flows, no matter what the content and through throwing up all sorts of obstacles for their online interaction. But these are old strategies, and we've all lived through them,

right? If you talk about any of these MacGuffins, if you question the government narratives on these things that are very important to them and their corporations you immediately get this treatment we've all had that treatment what's added on top of this is the seeding of counter narratives and the speed with which it can be done and the two obvious ways that this can be affected is by situating the relevant statement in a context of contrasting or discordant information. So both the disruptive agent, the John Cleese, and the recipients of the, he's not the disruptive agent, but he's disrupting the person that they consider to be the disruptive agent, get a clear message this piece of information is both contested and it is a minority perspective that should be socially ostracized.

You're dangerous. Remember the very beginning of this i remember seeing um scott adams the guy does the dilbert cartoons the unfunny cartoons that have no insight uh but he has ingratiated himself to conservatives i remember the very beginning of this we were barely two weeks into this stuff, and he put out, he says, it's getting harder and harder to distinguish the quote-unquote freedom lovers from sociopaths. One of the first people to start calling us sociopaths. And I replied to him, and I said, it's getting harder and harder to tell these pragmatists from totalitarians.

But that's, you know, they can do that a number of ways. They can have legitimate shills or they can have bots that do that type of thing. This can be further supported by counterintuitively promoting the Facebook post or the forum message in the flows of networks of singled outout users that have been identified as loyalists, loyalists, proponents of the preferred views of government and corporations. Another potential aspect of this proactive seeding of counter-narratives is to employ bots. An interesting possibility is to generate fake short messages by actual users in your social network to produce these targeted responses. Messages which can't be seen by themselves and so will generate no interaction but mimic their style and their tenor.

So they already do this with some deceased Facebook users. It's happening as a report of people are recreating deceased loved ones using artificial intelligence. They get lonely, so they can use Facebook to mimic the tone of people and to basically be able to interact with them, make it feel like you're interacting with them. There's, as this author says, there's even a Black Mirror episode about that. So to sum up, we have these hugely connected organizations with tentacles throughout both legacy and digital media, closely associated with government and military intelligence, now proudly proclaiming the application of AI towards an entirely new type of generative, responsive, and predictive propaganda. They also promised to control the very genesis of human narratives. And the brilliant thing is that most people won't even be able to connect the dots.

Just take a look at QAnon MAGA people, at the leftist, masked-up, social-distan social distancing paranoia people. And when you look at both of these sides, what is something else that you notice about that? They're so heavily into group think. They're so heavily into political parties and that type of thing. It makes them very easy to control, very easy to control. And that's why you got so much garbage from the MAGA people, so much garbage from the farm left that is out there.

And these people are being weaponized against each other and against us. They're agents of disruption, and they don't even know it. They can't connect the dots. It truly is amazing to watch this all. You almost have to admire the diabolical genius because, hey, Satan is a genius, and it is diabolical. It is straight from the devil. Our government, folks, you don't realize that our government, the rest of them as well, under satanic control.

And I mean that literally. These advanced forms of behavioral control and narrative and psychological manipulation are technically not censorship per se, even if the structures and the safeguards are not captured. This new form of predictive propaganda can't be targeted by our traditional legal regimes because hey you know we're just putting out some information here and it's you know in a sense there's an element of censorship to a lot of this but a lot of this they're generating stuff and uh like i said before you know you fight um using the first amendment uh you've got to get out there and more speech. Well, that's what they're doing.

They use both the censorship and well, we need more speech. And we got artificial intelligence to generate more speech than you can ever generate. He said, a friend wrote me an email on the issue of how to organize politically and socially in this current situation. He says, I'm still thinking about it. He's got a lot of insights here, but he doesn't have any insight about what we do about this.

And that's the problem. These people have been thinking about this for half a century. They've been working slowly towards this for half a century. How do you explain something that goes through multiple generations of people as if it was one individual behind it? Well, it's spiritual warfare. And if you understand that it's spiritual warfare, now you've got a leg up on this thing here.

And if you want to mount it and turn the horse's head, think about doing exactly the opposite of what these people want us to do. They want us to be isolated. They want us to be dependent and live in their digital world. Refuse to do that. And one of the best things that you can do is again, he says, so a friend wrote him an email. Well, how long is it going to be before they, you know, they're reading that email? They are reading the email. How long is it going to be before they stop the delivery of that email?

You need to talk to your friend one-on-one and you need to get involved in friend one-on-one. And you need to get involved in local one-on-one person-to-person contacts. Church, if you've got a spiritual warfare, church is local, church is person-to-person. It should be local anyway. It's person-to-person. And it's going to be people who have the discernment about this. And so if they want to isolate you, counter that, and go as hard as you can in the other direction, because that's the key.

So we're going to take a quick break, and when we come back, we're going to talk a little bit more about AI and about the competition within AI. But I also want to get into the climate MacGuffin that is there. We haven't talked about that for a couple of days. The insurance companies, everybody's watching everything you do. It's not paranoia if they're actually watching you, is it? So we're going to take a quick break.

We'll be right back. back Thank you. You're listening to The David Knight Show. Tell Alexa to add the APS Radio skill and have access to the best channels anywhere. From country to blues, classic hits to news, APS Radio curates incredibly diverse playlists for you to enjoy get details at apsradio.com all right and in terms of what these various companies are doing and of course it's a has big economic impact on us as well there is a company that calls itself grok and i'm not talking about el Elon Musk. He uses the G-R-O-K from sci-fi novel. But they are Grok with a Q.

Dickens with two Ks. That old skit from Marty Feldman. Again, John Cleese. No, this is Grok with a Q. Grok AI chip system. And that's the key thing they have. Um, they're, they're not using these graphic processor units. They custom design their own IC specifically for large language models.

And it is significantly faster than what is out there. And of course they say that it is open source that they are not training it they're not making it prejudice so it's um you know you're getting uh the the program supposedly that has not been manipulated but much much faster and of course nvidia has made a tremendous amount of money they you know brought the whole stock market up when they released their financial report. This is going to have implications for the stock market as well, potentially. Grok, the latest artificial intelligence tool to come onto the scene, taking social media by storm with its response speed and its new technology

that may dispense with the need for GPU need for gpus and these things are incredibly expensive you know they're they're getting massive banks of them ten thousand dollars a piece they're incredible hogs of energy even to the extent that they're saying well you know for um of course the government is not worried about that the government is worried about crypto but they're not worried about the nsa the cia or their ai uh they uh that's that's not a problem but other people are saying well where are we going to power for this we're going to have to have little miniature nuclear reactors for these things a tremendous amount of power uh and a lot of money involved in this um the first public demo

uh using grok a lightning fast ai answers engine i talked about this a couple of weeks ago just briefly uh and it came out at the end of february it writes factual cited answers with hundreds of words in less than a second more than three quarters of the time is spent searching and not generating the large language model runs in a fraction of a second. It can do 500 tokens per second versus chat GPT 3.5, which does about 40 tokens per second. It's about 12 and a half times faster. And the demo that you see on social media, they show the responses scrolling up and um and of course you know if you're for most users um chat gpt is going to be scrolling up faster than you can read but this other one just goes straight up and it's there

grok with a q the developer of the model claims to have created the first language processing unit an lpu through which it runs its model rather than the scarce and costly graphics processing units, the GPUs, that run other AI models. And so, again, they say they don't train them. That is, I guess, going to be a selling point because that is, training is just a euphemism for biasing them. It was founded in 2016, and they trademarked the name long before Elon Musk came out with his Grok with a K. And when he announced that, they replied to it and said, We can see why you might want to adopt our name.

You like fast things like rockets and hyperloops and one-letter company names. And our product, the Grok with a Q, LPU inference engine, is the fastest way to run large language models and other generative AI applications. However, we must ask you to please choose another name and fast. Now, there hasn't been any legal wrangling with us yet or not but perhaps there will be open ai and many other ai developers though we're also looking at custom chips to do this open ai though with sam altman is aligning himself with all these different governments he's the guy that's also behind world coin that was just banned in spain and should be banned everywhere quite frankly it's another one of these creepy um uh creepy biometric

uh ties into a central bank digital currency type of thing it's a cbdc that he's going to you know that he's trying to set up so he can give it to governments so he's always going in and telling the government how he's responsible but everybody else should be shut down he's now seeking trillions with a t trillions of dollars from the u.s government in order to develop his own chip because uh he shouldn't have to pay for it just like the the people on the NFL stadiums or the baseball stadiums, they shouldn't have to pay for their own stadiums. We should pay for those stadiums. Whether or not we even watch their games on TV,

we should pay for their stadiums. Well, we should pay for his special GPU chips. And the government does have a real interest in that. And quite frankly, the government has a real interest in keeping us locked into this sports paradigm we pour all of our energy and attention into uh this um distraction right the the bread and circuses thing uh we we look at this circus and we're focused on it so totally that's one way to shut us down from uh doing any religious or political reform on rock fan wes robertson says totalitarianism throughout history

always self-destructs the level of tech the world order has now is going to take millions of us out with a bang that's right yeah as uh hugo de garza i've talked to many times said uh we talked about the artk Wars, the wars over artificial intelligence. And he said it's going to result in giga death, billions of people likely to be killed. Well, I'm going to take a quick break because we're going to switch over now. And I want to talk a little bit about what's happening with the climate narrative. We also have the health effects of emf tremendous it's an amazing story that has come out now about one individual and the number of strokes that this affected them with and of course we also

take a look at politics yes we have had now biden and trump have both secured their respective parties nominations what a surprise what a thrill uh again this is like uh announcing that kim jong-un has won the uh north korean election because that's what this is you know these guys are getting you know 85 to 90 percent or 95 percent of the vote because there's nobody else running against them. Everybody else has dropped out. They still want to get 100% of the people who show up. We'll be right back. Elvis.

Ladies and gentlemen, the Beatles. And the sweet sounds of Motown. Find them on the oldies channel at APS radio.com. You're listening to the david knight show i like this comment uh from junk silver one of my favorite aspects of the dune novels that didn't make it into the recent movies is that all thinking machines had been banned for centuries i didn't remember that i read the noon things back in the 70s when i was in college i stopped after the second one because it started getting into this kind of you know mysticism stuff which you ever notice that as uh these sci-fi series they always at first they introduce a very

interesting world lots of new gadgets and gimmicks machinery and you know so it's kind of interesting to look at that and and then just like star wars you know that the second one they start going into the force you know this this mystic quasi religious and with dune it was this messianic copycat uh thing that was happening there so it's like yeah but um yeah it did have some interesting things in the world. And that is, I don't remember that, that they'd banned thinking machines. And of course they would not put that in the movies today, would they? Don't want to give anybody any ideas.

That would be the simple solution before they turn the entire planet into a sand dune, right? But of course you do have the people in Silicon Valley, uh, snorting. Some doesn't turn their eyes blue, but they're going heavily into psychedelics. That's what they're focused on. The pharmakia many different ways. Well, uh, people are hallucinating about the climate, aren't they? And, uh, nobody hallucinating more than this old fossil john kerry we'd be so glad that he didn't become president what a tool what a fool these people are they go out and they pick the dumbest people

to run for president don't they yeah he was running against george w bush just like we got trump and Biden now. You know, it's like, how low can we go with the IQ points? They probably select the person with the lowest IQ points. That's a race to the bottom. So former senator, one-time Democrat presidential candidate, now the special presidential envoy in the biden administration for climate and he said on tuesday the people around the world might feel better about the russian government if it invests as much effort into fighting climate change as it puts into fighting ukraine what an incredibly stupid

statement um and um he said maybe it would open the door for people to feel better about what russia is choosing to do at this point in time in other words we wouldn't you know okay well you know they're these people are selling this narrative oh they did this unprovoked war into ukraine and yet they really are trying to clean up the environment so let's cut them a little bit of slack right i guess that's what he thinks in this regard ask a reporter do you think that western sanctions are affecting global efforts to fight climate change and the shared commitments under the paris agreement again it's all this goes back to this paris agreement 2015 you know the one that um Trump's picks and his daughter, Ivanka and Rex Tillerson. Oh, no, no, no, no.

You don't. Leave that alone. Leave that. John Kerry self-ratified that. You know, he and Obama ratified that, said Kerry. We don't want to touch that. And so he says, well, I'll get rid of it. You know, he has two different camps there.

So he's going to make everybody happy. I'll get rid of it. But not until after my first term ends, after the election. And so then after the election, yeah, he said, well, we're going to get rid of it. And that was about a month and a half before Biden took control, but he kept it in place. It's very important to have that Paris Climate Accord in place. I remember playing Humphrey Bogart when Trump did that. We'll always have Paris, sweetheart. You know, and it's like, we're never going to get rid of it. Trump's going to keep it throughout the four years

and all this stuff about getting rid of it. If he reelected him and everything, it's just a bunch of garbage, a bunch of nonsense. Well, one thing that we should take a look at this was sent to me by listener here's the uh the amount of co2 produced by humans in the atmosphere compared to everything else now look at this chart this is kind of interesting um so they have um uh to put things in perspective our atmosphere where yellow is nitrogen blue is oxygen red is or is argon you never hear anything about argon i mean they must not have a good pr um you know i mean it's like we've shadow banned uh all talk about argon i guess and then

the green is carbon dioxide and when you look at this it's this huge yellow square smaller blue square much smaller much smaller red square of argon and in a little teeny tiny square of green, which is the carbon dioxide. But that's all the carbon dioxide. That's not just what humans are doing. There's a teeny tiny little dot up in the corner, and that's human contributions to carbon dioxide. So he says, a little tiny white dot you can hardly make out

in the upper right hand corner is carbon dioxide produced by human activities while the rest of the green is naturally occurring carbon dioxide so don't tell me that we have to change our way of life though we got to get in all kinds of hardship to minimally change what amounts to 0.0016 percent of the atmosphere the human activity produced co2 well that's the reality but of course john kerry and these other people have worked very hard to keep us from seeing the reality and they've been very effective you stop and think about it uh who how if it wasn't for mainstream media if it wasn't for the entertainment world if it wasn't for the institutional educational world if it wasn't for social media nobody would think twice about climate change and they would laugh this stuff off there's no evidence of it and

even when they put their models and their predictions out, that only serves to make it more ludicrous because they're all false. They're all proven false. This has been going around long enough that it's all known to be false. 50 years of false prophecies, lies, and failed models and failed predictions. And yet it's still there and they are having an effect with younger people who have been hit with this stuff as if it were fact and true all their lives they may not know what gender they are but they're absolutely certain that co2 is going to kill us all a carries clumsily worded response is widely interpreted to mean people would feel better about the russian invasion if ukraine of ukraine if russia did more to control its emissions

the more charitable interpretation might be along the lines of well if russia has the resources to invade another country it could do more to fight climate change yeah if they can get to the moon you know can't they can we solve this problem that type of thing in a july 2023 msnbc interview carrie asked viewers to think about all the greenhouse gas emissions from russia's intense bombing campaign what about ours what about all these wars that we have started everywhere that doesn't matter it's only russia's bombs in fe February 2022, he pleaded with Vladimir Putin to think about the climate effects of dropping hot bombs on the frozen terrain of Ukraine. This guy is as dumb as Biden is senile. It's beyond belief, isn't it? And yet, because of the power of the institutions

and the internet and the propaganda, they are treated as respectable ideas. Not only that, but they laugh at us if we question this absurdity. The Wall Street Journal pointed out that Kerry's risible comments in February 2022 were not a gaffe, but a window into the Biden administration's dangerous obsession with climate

well that's very true and uh that is that mcguffin this is hard to tell you know whether it's going to be the climate mcguffin or uh the pandemic mcguffin that they're going to push the hardest but i i still think it's going to be the climate climate MacGuffin because they've been rolling this out for the longest time. They even use the pandemic MacGuffin to bolster the climate MacGuffin. Wouldn't it be nice if we just stayed locked down with all this stuff all the time? Uh, KWD 68 says self-ratify. Can I call the IRS and tell them that my taxes are self-paying? Yeah. Yeah. Well, there's no, there's no constitutional authority for their uh paris climate accord uh for even calling it a treaty and i just like there's no constitutional authority for these people to be doing what they're doing the irs you know not even talking about the amendment and how

it was passed but the tactics that they use, they set the template for bureaucratic control, for the removal of due process, the removal of the presumption of innocence, for giving powers of legislation, prosecution, and adjudication to these bureaucracies. When the technocrats intentionally sabotage a nation's energy supply. This is from Technocracy News. They said the head of the UK government's climate watchdog told officials to kill a negative story using technical language.

And this was discovered by the UK Telegraph. They did a freedom of information request. What they were doing at the time was trying to obscure the fact that they're not going to be able to supply the energy that the country needs using their so-called renewable energy sources of solar and wind. Because even though they call them sustainable all the time, they're not sustainable. The sun does not always shine. The sun does not always shine. The wind does not always blow.

And so at a very real level, they can't sustain a constant output. Notice why they pick these things though, right? You look at what is the vulnerability of these new energy sources. Well, they can't sustain themselves. Ah, we'll call them sustainable. What is the problem with a smart city?

Well, people would have to voluntarily go into some kind of an open-air prison here. That'd be pretty stupid. Ah, we'll call it a smart city. Problem solved. On the face of it, urging colleagues to kill a reasonable request for information with technical language looks like an attempt at obfuscation. That's putting it mildly, isn't it? That's exactly what they do all the time.

Now, they don't always try to bamboozle you. For example, right now, you've got Bill Gates and you've got Joe Manchin and you've got a Republican congresswoman, Carol Miller from West Virginia. And so the West Virginia Senator Joe Manchin, a West Virginia congresswoman, and it may be the only one. I think they're big enough to have more than one congressperson. I'm not sure, but I think they do. But anyway, she is a member of Congress, and she's a Republican. Joe Manchin's a Democrat.

She's a Republican congresswoman. And the two of them have joined forces with Bill Gates because they want to shut down West Virginia's coal industry. And they're not trying to hide it. Bill Gates is putting this out. He's putting out charts about how he wants to kill energy from coal. He's putting out blog posts. He's got a blog site called Gates Notes.

And so he's making no secret of it. In the UK, they're trying to obfuscate it, but he's bragging about it. They want to destroy the lifeblood of the West Virginia economy. And they want to make sure that America is never energy dependent again. Because if you look at it again again when you look at this whole thing about peak energy which is a lie that was created and sold by the cia back in the 70s and then when the arab oil embargo hit and i've shown the magazines many times time and newsweek both had you know the same they just marched in lockstep so both of them had on the cover it's the end of energy for the west and all the rest of the stuff we're going to be out of of oil and natural gas by the mid-1980s they said absolutely certain all the experts said that but then they said we're we've got 666 years of coal yeah 666 at the rate of current but we got to get rid of the coal because, you know, it's just because of air quality and stuff.

But you can clean it, right? You can clean it up and you can still burn it. They don't want it, though, because it's energy independence. And they don't want us to have that energy. So they've got to go after what we've got in abundance. They had more coal, more energy in coal than Saudi Arabia had in oil. So let's shut that down, first of all. So in West Virginia, Bill Gates is taking his globalist anti-energy policies

right there where he openly says that he hopes to destroy the coal industry. And he's doing it with the help of the state's bipartisan political establishment, including Senator Joe Manchin, a Republican congresswomanwoman Carol Miller. I like what one listener said to me. He said, referred to him as Bail Gates because of his depopulation orientation. It's Bail Gates. Gates openly states his plans on his webpages.

He posted a graph showing the engineered collapse of the American coal industry, calling it a step in the right direction. Let's see if you can find that chart, Travis, on that thing. According to his own blog, GatesNotes.com, he and his associates are preparing to, quote, get rid of, unquote,ica's natural energy sector altogether uh and um yeah scroll down it's a it's a chart there oh there they all are and that's even got the governor justin um what is his name um anyway he's a guy who flipped from being a

democrat to republican and why why did he need to do that? Well, because Hillary Clinton ran on the same platform that Bill Gates is doing. We got to kill the coal industry here. But let's pull that back up and go down to the chart that he's got there. There it is right there. And so you see, he's got a step in the right direction, killing coal. And, you know, renewables are going up above coal and then natural gas is going up but he's not happy about that either u.s carbon emissions fell in 2023 as coal use tumbled to new lows so he's saying he's trying to convince the public that destroying an entire nationwide

industry will quote benefit everyone including those workers and communities who depend on fossil fuels. He's directly quoting Hillary Clinton eight years ago. That had a big part of her losing that election. But of course, you know, he pays her to say that, I guess. He's already announced through the media that he is working with the federal government to shut down hundreds of coal power plants in west virginia and replace them with nuclear energy facilities these plans are in alignment with the world economic forum's call to meet a net zero emission goal by 2050. um look when you look at a a coal plant and you can clean up that coal plant there isn't any source that doesn't have downsides. I mean, you've got to mine the stuff that's going to possibly be an issue. But the downside on the nuclear stuff is that you've got to guard that waste

for centuries, for centuries. This is really ultimately kicking the can down the road to somebody else, if ever there was a case like that. I'm a big fan of, um, using the stuff that is simple, cheap and works, but that's why these people don't like it.

It's worth noting that when coal towns and others convert to nuclear energy, the locals are left behind often supplanted by foreign workers brought in on visa programs to benefit the corporate class. Yeah, exactly right. But it is World Economic Forum that wants this. This is a letter that was sent to me by a listener talking about a U.S. power grid shutdown. He said the implosion and takedown of America is at our doorstep in the next 2024 or 2025.

You could have four nuclear missiles, two over the West coast, two over the East coast could be fired by North Korea or Iran respectively could effectively cause an EMP knockout of the national power grid and essentially bring the great Satan down to its knees. But of course, you know, we've also are self-destructing with massive amounts of debt. A national cyber attack against U.S. power grid infrastructure would accomplish the same objective if a nuclear EMP strike is ruled out. So they don't have to do an EMP, as we've talked about before, just take down, do a cyber attack. And of course, we'll never know who did the cyber attack. It's just the perfect thing

for an inside job job a false flag because we've already seen with the tools that they don't want you to remember vault seven they can disguise that they can make it look like they're anybody they wish and by the way those tools are out in the open so it's not just the american government that could do that any government or private actor could disguise their hack to make it look like they're any government. An EMP strike would get these obscene gas-guzzling trucks, SUVs, planes, helicopters, all of them off of our streets, out of the airspaces.

No more electricity for the gas pumps or the aviation pumps. A power grid shutdown would similarly end the antiquated hydrocarbon economy and bring down these right wing gun toting climate denying meat eating conservatives so yeah that's right um it's um it's a real possibility but again what they want you to not know is the fact that their solar and wind cannot possibly provide electricity. You see, you could take it down suddenly like that, or you could do it just slowly. And as Fauci said, iteratively, iteratively.

They are definitely doing that. Whether or not they will then suddenly do something, bankrupt us, go gradually, then suddenly, remains to be seen. When will politicians accept that wind and solar power cannot replace fossil fuels? This is a daily skeptic out of the UK. The distortion of truth has been going on for at least 15 years. In 2009, Scientific American published an article citing a Stanford study which predicted that renewables could become 100% of the world's energy needs by 2030. In March of 2021, Carbon Tracker, we can

guess where they stand on this issue, posted a report saying that renewable energy was capable of meeting energy demand 100 times over. Two years later, 2023, the World Economic Forum jumped on the bandwagon with a study that mistakenly claimed that we have reached peak fossil fuels. Where have we seen this before? Yeah, we saw that before about 45 years ago. Again, a narrative that was put out by the CIA, still being sold by these climate people, especially by the World Economic Forum.

They're all on the same team, aren they well the problem is this is that people intuitively agree with that because you can feel the sun on your face you know that's a lot of energy that's coming out of it so we could just harness that uh the wind you feel that all the time as well i mean you can step outside and instantly feel all of this energy, solar energy, wind energy, all around you. The problem is, though, that it's intermittent, that it's unreliable, that it has not been concentrated. And, of course, the real issue for any of this stuff to be practical is that it has to be economical.

And even though they talk about these things as being renewable and sustainable, uh, these solar panels and these windmills don't last forever. Like everything else on this earth, right? Subject to the second law of thermodynamics. It wears out,

uh, it, uh, it goes down. And so when we look at California, for example, having to pay 30 cents per kilowatt hour, people live in California, and still suffering from rolling blackouts and brownouts.

Compare that to even other liberal states like Oregon and Washington. They're 11 cents per kilowatt hour or 13 cents per kilowatt hour, respectively. And yet they're paying three times that much in California, and it's not sustainable. That's why they're getting the rolling blackouts and brownouts. So fossil fuel is stored energy, concentrated energy. Solar and wind are not. And regardless of how you put this stuff together,

it's going to wear out and have to be renewed. So here's their solution to some of these battery-operated electric vehicles. Microwave energy. Microwave energy could fix the biggest problem facing EVs, and they've talked about this in a variety of different ways. They've talked about highways, building highways. I think there's actually one under development in Florida, building a highway that is going to, you know, charge your car using inductive charging as you drive over it. This is a little bit different. And we're going to talk about that

when we come back, because I want to use that a lead-in to the health effects of emf everything that we do in this world is a trade-off there's no perfect solution even though these people always tell us it's going to be perfect you know if we all go to nuclear power the thing i heard when i was a kid growing up go to nuclear power it's going to be so cheap you won't even meter it we still hear that about about fusion. And people still think that about solar and windmills. If we just build it once, we'll have free energy forever. Looking for better information? APSradioNews.com features articles and commentary, along with audio from all the top news from around the world. APSradioNews.com Here's a little song I wrote.

You might want to hear it in your pod. You know nothing. And be happy Ain't got no cash, ain't got no car But 24 booster shots in your arm Owe nothing, be happy You can't even buy shit in the store Because of your low social credit score

Oh, nothing Be happy You'll own nothing And be happy Be happy and eat the bugs You will own nothing. And be happy. Be happy and eat some bugs. Yeah, that's a great one. Anyway, microwave energy could fix the biggest problems facing EVs.

Frigid weather showed their shortcomings. We saw the life of batteries by different manufacturers had different effects. BMWs were affected tremendously by 20% reduction in range. Tesla's had less. It was 11%, but still significant reduction in range. What they don't talk about in this article, because it's a lot of gee whiz green technology type of perspective. Well, they don't talk about this. The fact that people can't get them charged at all you know not even the range but you couldn't even get it charged because the battery is too cold we can't charge the

battery for whatever reason it's got to warm up people sit there all day and wait for the battery to warm up it wouldn't warm up luckily a handy solution could be around the corner an energy storage system that combines microwave energy and chemical heat pump to produce heating or cooling on demand. Well, isn't that great? And, you know, that's nice that people are working on always changing stuff. But how complex and how expensive is this? And is it safe to us? You know, the microwave energy.

And maybe what you ought to do is see if people want to voluntarily try this. And you can then try to perfect the technology. We might find that there's some major flaws in it, as we found out with the EV battery-driven cars over the winter. The energy cost can be minimized by coupling with a smart meter to charge the system when energy is cheap. And the stored energy can then be used at any time. So we put it into this little black box they called an e-thermal bank, designed as a secondary energy source for EVs to harness electricity

to drive a high-density thermochemical-based system. So basically, yet another battery that you put in the car to charge the other batteries uh it just keeps getting more and more complex doesn't it without really um addressing what consumers want how expensive is this can we afford it do we want it Is it going to be shoved down our throats whether we want it or not? Well, the 5G and EMF stuff that is coming out is being shoved down our throats and every other part of our body. This is a story from Children's Health Defense. A woman diagnosed with 51 strokes after a new cell phone tower was erected 900 feet from her home. And so she's planning on suing.

In 2007, this woman and her husband built a dream home out in rural Minnesota so they could live close to nature and close to her family. They didn't know that AT&T and T-Mobile would soon be building a cell tower just 900 feet from their home on adjacent property. Nearly immediately after the cell tower was upgraded in 2019, she became disabled from intense levels of radio frequency radiation emitted by the tower. And since then, she has suffered 51 strokes, vision loss, hearing loss, headaches, sleep disruption, chronic fatigue, cognitive impairment. She experiences ongoing issues of balance, orientation, and mobility.

But now the legal team at Children's Health Defense is going to work with her to sue under the Americans with Disabilities Act. She said, we didn't know what they were doing. They put up a big crane and did it multiple times. They didn't tell us what they were doing. We think they upgraded this to deploy 5G, but they won't admit to what they did. They just say they don't have to tell us. On the weekend after the workers completed

the upgrade, she was at home, began feeling dizzy as if something just didn't feel right. She called her husband, said, something's wrong in my head. I don't know how to explain it. I just feel like crap. And did she need him to come home? She said, no, I'll be fine. But the physical sensation, she said, was awful. In addition to dizziness, she had headaches and nausea. I couldn't pick up my head off the pillow without the room spinning and feeling very sick. The symptoms continued. On Monday, they went to the urgent care and was diagnosed with vertigo. She returned home.

A few days later, she had blind spots in her vision and tingling in her arm with almost a numb feeling. She called the on-call nursing center. They told her, you need to come down to the emergency room. We think you're having a stroke. An MRI of her brain showed numerous damaged areas called lesions. She was admitted to the hospital October 10th, 2019, diagnosed with strokes, vision loss, and balance difficulties. After three days in the hospital, the strokes stopped happening,

meaning that the MRIs of her brain no longer showed lesions, and she returned home. But before the end of the month, she started feeling the same thing again. She went back to the emergency room, and they were back. More brain lesions. A neurologist told her the MRI scan of her brain looked like a starry night because of how many white spots or lesions appeared, but they didn't know what was causing them. After a night or two at the hospital, she began to feel better,

but after returning home, her symptoms would reemerge, and she'd have to return to the hospital. Each time she came back, there were more strokes. So they started thinking, well, there's something about this here. They moved to a different location temporarily. During one of her stays at the Mayo Clinic, she said she just woke up with a strong sense that the cell tower radiation was causing the symptoms. So they started doing some research. They started piecing it together, and they said, well, let's try this. In March of 2020, so this is five months after this stuff started,

they and their son moved into her parents' house a mile further away from the tower, and she got a lot better, and the strokes stopped. By June, she was talking about returning to school she said we'd go fishing every night she had a lot more energy around the same time the doctors at the mayo clinic uh had her taking pill chemotherapy of course you know you'd put you on some drugs but in october her parents moved back so the two and their son moved back their house close to the tower. And in a week, all the stuff started happening again.

So now we know it's here. It's most likely the cell phone tower. They became more and more convinced the RF radiation from the tower was making her sick. So they called in a guy who was a certified EMR specialist to measure the wireless radiation levels throughout their home. He showed peaks of up to 18 milliwatts per square meter, 18 times higher than the standard of building biology considers to be the extreme limit. So now they know what it is. So the first thing she did was to build a Faraday cage, a box, and she could go in there to get some temporary relief, and it did.

Whenever she would start to bother her, she would go in there and kind of detox. But she said she could feel her head relax when she's in the Faraday cage, but anywhere else in the house or the yard, her head feels loud and full like a motor is running. Then their son started having some problems. This is something that affects, the husband's not having a problem, but the two of them are related. So he starts having negative health episodes.

And he was 16 years old at the time. So, you know, this definitely looks like that's what this is. There's going to be a lawsuit there, but just consider the fact that in New York, people woke up New York city. Uh, they started rolling out these five G antenna locations and people woke up the next morning and all of a sudden there's one right there at their window. I mean,

right up against their window. And in some cases it was the room where they kept the baby even, you know, and, um, one person looks at it and it's got a, uh, a sticker on it and it says, uh, don't get closer than 10 feet. Well, you know, it wasn't even a foot away from their window. And so she called the company and they said, we'll be right out. They they came out they didn't move it they removed the sticker that warned people about it it's the money involved it's the corporations involved but of course it's also the government agenda the government wants to have 5g they want to have that extra bandwidth because that's going to be necessary for them to do the

real-time surveillance to do the kind of you know social credit scoring and all the rest of this data intensive uh stuff that the the digital technology is being used to create a prison and so they need to have that 5g there so um when you look at all the different sources are there of course many people and there's articles about that um we'll talk about the long-term effects of cell phones uh wi-fi in your home but of course even um some people susceptible to the um the emf that comes from the power lines from the electrification of our different of our homes everybody's got a different um metabolism is one of the reasons why of course there's a big variation with the shots a big variation in the shots and the intensity and they can track that by lot and they can see that most of the people

who had serious adverse effects or who died they got the higher um concentration lots so it was a lottery wasn't it uh but you know they're playing around with that they're playing around with different dosages they know exactly what they're doing but um there's also individual variation that accounts for the fact that not everybody immediately had a problem with it or have not shown up to have a problem after a period of time the epa takes a very different stance on EMF radiation. We have some of the highest allowed amounts of radiation, but of course, you know, the EPA doesn't really care.

Regulatory capture by the businesses, by the government, they've got another agenda. The government wants to surveil and track us. The companies want to make money and the EPA obliges. But of course, you know, this is the same organization that's out there supporting fluoridation of the water and covering up any internal reports that talk about negative health effects with it. But it's not just limited to the kind of, you know, she had strokes.

Even electromagnetic fields may even affect heart health, they say. Animal studies, exposure to radiofrequency radiation has been associated with structural and biological, biochemical changes of the heart. In two long-term animal studies, one done by the U.S. National Toxicology Program, another conducted by Italian Institute, the Ramazzini Institute. Heart tumors were observed with lab animals that were exposed to radiofrequency radiation. So like so many of these things, it doesn't really matter whether or not you do the study and show them study, just as we saw with all of the vaccines and

all of the different drugs that were being pushed on people as the solution. The facts don't really matter. It's going to be the big elephant in the room. It's whether or not they can conceal people talking about this and whether they can put out their false narrative. Are we taking the risk of 5G seriously enough? Two months ago, the state of New Hampshire introduced a bipartisan bill requiring wireless antennas to be placed at least 500 meters

away from residences, businesses, schools, as well as putting measures in place to inform the public about the health risks of radio frequency radiation. That will never happen, by the way, in a place like New York City. There wouldn't be any place for them to put it if they had to put it 500 meters away. It's going to be close to where people are working, where people are living, if you put it anywhere in the city.

So, again, is there a difference in where you live? That's what we're going to talk about when we come back. I had a listener write me a letter. I'm going to give you their argument, saying it really doesn't matter whether you focus on local elections or not, because they're just another extension of the federal government. I disagree with that. I'll give their opinion, and I'll tell you why I disagree with that when we come back. Stay with us. We'll, I'll give their opinion and I'll tell you why I disagree with that. When we come back, stay with us.

We'll be right back. Thank you. You're listening to The David Knight Show. Elvis. Ladies and gentlemen, the Beatles. And the sweet sounds of Motown. Find them on the Oldies channel at APSradio.com. Well, before I get back into the news, I just want to make a quick statement about some great news we had this morning just as we were about to go on air. Travis's wife found out that she's pregnant. So we would appreciate your prayers for that.

We're all very excited about that. It's been about, what, two years or so? Almost exactly two years that you guys have been married. So we're very excited about that. Really would appreciate your prayers. And let me also, I'm going gonna read some letters here about some different issues as i said we had somebody who said local level is just another arm of the monster uh and i think that is can be true doesn't have to be true but i'll give you what they have to say but uh got several letters here that i've been sitting here some of them for a while. And this is from somebody who lived in Cary from the years. I remember you from the LPNC back in the early 1990s. I also remember frequenting your video shop at Waverly Place in Cary. I have questions that I leave in the comment section as Liberty Tilts.

I'll see if I can find those. Happy, I found your program. It was recommended by Rumble. And I mentioned that. And thank you for the letter. I won't mention your name. They want to remain anonymous. But that's why we ask people, please like the broadcast.

If you do that, people can it who might might like the show and that helps us to at least at rumble i don't think that we are shadow banned there but we still need to go through the traditional things of getting people to find us so if you like the stream please like the stream click the little button there that helps a great deal and so thank you for this thank you for the donation. This is also another letter here regarding your recent viewer listener who was seeking to exit their job and mainstream medical system. At least one potential viable alternative exists at freedom dash healthcare dot us.

This parallel system was founded by Julie Wentz, whom you had on your show previously a couple of times. Yes, I have also had have many other potential resources. This parallel system was founded by Julie Wentz, whom you had on your show previously. A couple of times, yes. I have also had many other potential resources. And so there are many opportunities for people. We've had questions from people who, as both patient and provider, would like to get out of this system that has been totally corrupted, totally corporatized and taken over by the government. Uh, this is from a Jean who says, I apologize for the long delay in sending you a donation. Um, uh, and, um, it's a lot of very nice compliments here, but, um, I appreciate that. And, uh, I get that occasionally from people say, well, you know,

I haven't sent anything for a year, uh, or here is my annual donation and I'll do it all at once. This is another one here. This is from Mike and Sharon. Um, I wish this could be a, a gigantanormous check, uh, but it was a very large check. And I really do appreciate that. And it said for the year 2024. Um, and, uh, so thank you very much for that support and let me read off some names here people who have uh sent us uh checks in the last week or so

sally and todd d james f mike and sharon m nancy z aaron f lois l john k jeremy w uh greg and Nancy Z, Aaron F, Lois L, John K, Jeremy W, Greg in Kentucky, Charlie at APS, Dale L, Tom and Nancy K, Michael D, Tina and Michael G, H.D., Linda E, and Erevim, I think, and Minuet. I'm having trouble reading karen's handwriting with this john w and ryan f uh thank you so much all of you for the support and um i don't read off the names of the people on um substack that would take us a very long time but we really do appreciate the people who support us on a regular basis and that helps us with a base of support that is there let me read this letter I've talked about here, that a local level is just another arm of the monster. And so I'll read it basically without any comments,

and I'll comment at the end. Let me just say before I read it that certainly we all understand that government at any level is not angels, right? We're not naive enough to think that. As the founder said, because we're not angels, we need to have government. But because government is composed of men, we need to have some way that we control them, right? Who watches the watchers is the old question. And so that really is why we talk about the local level, because at the local level,

we have a better opportunity. Not perfect, again, just like we're talking about free speech and other things like that. It's not a perfect opportunity, and we don't always win, but we do have much more control, much more transparency. And whenever it is local, whenever it's smaller, whenever it's closer to us, we have a better opportunity. You may still lose. We have a better opportunity to make an effective change. But this person disagrees and says this. I have to disagree with you on local level politics.

It was a local level that enforced the COVID con and its non-mandates. They ordered people to stay in their homes, the local cities, the local counties, local mayors and governors. Yes, the whole con game was local. Without the local level, they would not have succeeded as far as they did without local police to brutalize people, run down children in a foster home to force inject them. It was the police of the local level who did it all. They are the ones who carried it out. Voting for local is no different than voting for feds. If the people that are elected lie, cheat, and steal and go back on everything they promised, they are not

a government that adheres to the will of the people. They are an enforcement arm for federal mandates and for federal money. The churches held vaccination clinics and were paid handsomely for poisoning their flocks. The preachers received bonus money. It was all done at the local level. The stores carried it out as well. They became the enforcement arm for the laws that didn't exist for a COVID that didn't exist. It was never found or identified outside the diseased minds that created it with a simple thought.

The entire system is corrupt and needs to be taken down and new guards put in place. Not a new government, new guards against tyranny. The old guards failed. Write any bill of rights you want. If these monsters choose to ignore it and people choose to let them ignore it, then nothing changes. The brutality and the tyranny continues. The local arm is just another branch, another arm of the beast, an enforcement arm, nothing more.

You have to know how true it is, David. Local politics ensures the same system continues unchecked. If they were not there to enforce the will of the state governments and the feds, then no matter what they decreed, nothing would happen if they had no one to enforce it. It is the order followers that destroy freedom. Those who obey it, those who order it, as long as the disease of the mind continues, then nothing changes, period.

Well, I just have to say that we all know from the experience, don't we? That it was not the same experience in every locality, was it? And this is what I've said from the very beginning. Some places, it was incredibly bad. Other places, not so bad. That's one of the reasons why we're living here now. As a matter of fact, I just talked to a guy a couple of weeks ago. They moved out of New York City.

He had a restaurant there. And they spent the better part of the year traveling around, trying to find where things were better than anywhere else, and they moved to this area and have set up here. And so there is a big difference in the level of enforcement. Yes, all politics is local. That has been an axiom, and that is clearly what you are observing here. But all local politics is not the same. The huge variation that's there.

And again, we have a better chance to make a change at that local level. If there's nobody good that's running for office, you have a better chance of being able to run somebody for local city council than you do of getting somebody in Washington that is going to go along with all this. And I know they're not arguing to fix things from the top down, but that's the deception that they have put out for everybody. They understand that all politics is local. They understand, they say, think globally, act locally. They don't want us to act locally. They want us to act and try to control the global government because we'll never succeed with that.

That is the distraction. That is the distraction of people who are focused on Biden and Trump. That's the distraction of people who are even focused on Congress. That isn't going to happen there. But there is a big difference from state to state level and an even bigger difference at the local level. So it's not a perfect solution but just think of it as the inertia issue um the titanic sees the iceberg there but they can't change course right there's a lot of inertia takes a long time to change course for a big

heavy ship if it had been a small ship oh well it's not you turn it right away right but if it's really big it takes a long time to turn that thing around and you may not be able to turn it around until you hit the iceberg a small ship you can do that and again we all know that everything was different in different locations in 2020 i'm just trying to get people focus where they're going to have the most influence. And certainly, you know, that is not the case to say the churches held vaccine clinics. Some of them did, and some of them were handsomely paid, but a lot of them didn't. And there were a lot of churches, and I interviewed them in 2020, who never shut down, never shut down. One of the

churches, for example, that I talked to was a church, and I saw the guy on Fox News in the morning when I got in. I was making coffee, and it was on the monitor. They had interviewed him on the morning show. I contacted him and got him on and did an in-depth interview with him. And this was in Illinois, one of the worst places. Pritzker there in Illinois, he wanted to shut everything down. He was threatening to use the state police against any churches that stayed open.

And this guy said, well, we're not worried about that because the sheriff, the elected office of sheriff, the sheriff goes to church here. And he lives here locally. And he said he and his deputies are going to protect us from that. They interposed and they protected the people there from the state government. And why did that happen? Because he was locally elected. When you're talking about the police, they are not directly answerable to the people in an election. But you do elect the people that tell the police what to do,

whether it's the mayor or the city council or other things like that. And so you still have more of an opportunity, even with an unelected police force, than you do with state office or certainly with federal office. And so that's what we're saying. You know, it's not a perfect solution, but it is a better solution that is there. This is from, as a matter of fact, let me skip over to a discussion that was put together. I saw this on a Tennessee paper here locally, and it was a response from a guy who is a lawyer.

There's been several bills introduced in the Tennessee General Assembly about nullification. And so this guy who is a lawyer wanted to respond to that and say that's not the right way to go. We need to do everything through the courts and we need to ask permission from the federal government to do this. And I couldn't disagree more with him. He says nullification movement is not constitutional.

Yes, it is. I've had the people who wrote the constitution also, uh, were involved. Uh, you know, you had wrote the constitution, the declaration of independence. Um, they were involved with a nullification at the very beginning of the republic. He said, these bills that are being introduced to nullify federal law in the Tennessee General Assembly are not constitutional, despite seemingly being an easy fix to federal overreach. He said, a lot of people these days come up with these theories

and these solutions of problems, and they sound good. And then he goes ahead and offers us his theory, his so-called solution that he thinks sounds good. They call these things opinions, even when the Supreme Court issues these things, because that's what it is. It's their opinion. The Supreme Court, as a politically appointed body,

their opinions change over time, and they don't have the final say under the Constitution, if we're going to follow the Constitution. There's no reason that they should have it. But the reason I wanted to cover this is because this is what's been sold to people pretty much all my life. This is not the Constitution as the founders wrote it, and this is not what they understood for generations.

Again, you go back and you look at Andrew Jackson. Supreme Court issued an opinion about what he was going to do with the Cherokee. They didn't like it because it was a reprehensible policy but he had the authority and the power to do it under the constitution and so they changed their opinion within a year and he said well they've issued their opinion let's see them enforce it we have checks and balances and the founders understood that the court system they believed and said they thought it was the least dangerous to the branches of government because they didn't have any way to enforce their opinions except by our acquiescence and by people who tell us that we don't have the rights under the constitution that we clearly do have the law is on our side and we should not back down because of these types of

opinions and theories for solutions to problems that he talks about. He said one bill in the Tennessee Senate would establish, quote, processes by which the General Assembly may nullify an unconstitutional federal statute, regulation, agency, order, or executive order. The bill was called Restoring State Sovereignty Through Nullification. It was introduced last year, but it failed to make it out of committee, state and local government committee. And the attorney general here, Jonathan Scarametti, said that it was, in his opinion,

he said it was constitutionally infirm. And he said, why? Well, he said we have the supremacy clause in the U.S. Constitution that prohibits state legislation aimed at increasing the limited authority of state courts to nullify unconstitutional federal action. If this is a correct interpretation of the supremacy clause, it doesn't really matter because we have a very clearly written 10th amendment that superseded that supremacy clause. The supremacy clause is a part of the main body of the constitution.

The bill of rights comes after anything that's in the constitution. So there's nothing in the constitution where they want to try to claim that you got the power with commerce clause or the supremacy clause or whatever. These are things that were never done before. The people who wrote it, and as we talked about prohibition many times, they had to have a special amendment for prohibition because they said the federal government can't prohibit whatever it wants. And it'd be very dangerous if they do,

because we've seen the results now when they do that kind of stuff. And so everybody, whether they were for or against alcohol prohibition, believed that they needed a constitutional amendment, which they then put together and then undid that with another constitutional amendment. That's a lot of bother, isn't it? If you can just do it because of the Commerce Clause or because of the Supremacy Clause or some other made-up rationale. And again, these are made-up rationales.

These are opinions. They're perverted, twisted opinions, in my opinion. But we don't even have to make that argument about the Supremacy Clause or the Commerce Clause because the Tenth Amendment is clear. If these powers are not specifically delegated to the central government, it doesn't have them. End of story. How can it be more clear?

It's very, very clear. Just like the Second Amendment shall not infringe. You don't even touch it around the edges. Shall not infringe. But they have infringed it. And the best that we can do is what a lot of people are doing in state and local areas saying, we are not going to allow the ATF to do this or to do that. We're not going to allow them to ban pistol braces. And they've already stood in the gap and said, we're not going to enforce it. And by the way, even the Supreme Court has said that states can refuse to participate in the enforcement of laws.

And the federal government at this point in time does not have enough of an army. Of course, they're working on the IRS to have 80,000 people with that. Maybe they won't need local law enforcement. But the bottom line, first of all, they can't force state or local officials to assist them in any of this stuff. And they always do call on state and local officials to enforce it, as the person rightfully said. That's where the arms and legs are. That's where the rubber meets the road.

That's why all politics is local, because they can make all these agendas, but they can no more enforce them without local enforcers than the UN can. And that's why that's where the fight is. And that's why they don't want us fighting there. They want us fighting over Trump and Biden. It's a massive psyop for people. And both the left and right partisan members have fallen fully and as hard as they can for that scam. Focusing on who's going to get elected in a federal election, folks, is is a scam it is a distraction from the

things that could really make a difference and again you're not guaranteed to get the right government that you want in a local area but you can move to another location and there's a big difference in those locations uh so uh anyway he goes on to say, and this is unfortunately the opinion of the attorney general here in Tennessee and this lawyer. We have a constitution that has a supremacy clause that says federal law is supreme over state law, but not in all areas, only in the areas that they have authority. Right. They don't talk about interesting that the Tennessee attorney General didn't talk about the 10th Amendment. And this lawyer that they wrote, this is a Tennessee star, but they wrote the article about, he doesn't talk about the 10th Amendment either. They don't tell us how the 10th Amendment doesn't apply here because it clearly does.

It's very simple. It's right in your face. It is so direct, so in your face, so simple that they simply ignore it. Yeah, Jefferson and Madison did not. And as a matter of fact, even the Supreme Court in earlier years did not. They can change their opinion. Well, again, everybody's got an opinion, don't they? He said the way to solve conflicts between states and federal laws that states disagree with is you get your

attorney general, and we have a really capable attorney general, Jonathan Scarametti, who doesn't seem to know anything about the 10th Amendment. You get them to go to court and you challenge these things. Wait a minute. Is this job security for the attorney general? The attorney general says, you need me. Don't nullify it with the legislature. You need me to go and beg

permission from the federal government did they do that with the british you know that we keep hearing oh you have no right to nullification you have no right to secession again i don't think that secession uh is is the best way to do it i think nullification and non-commandeering is the best way to do it uh but nevertheless you know King George said, you don't have the right to self-government. And he said, well, watch us. You want to try to stop us? And so ultimately, it may come to that. It will come to that if it is secession.

That's why I say nullification. We have to have a system where if the federal government makes a rule, it's the rule. Well, then you're going to need to have a different constitution, sir. The guy's name is Pulliam, the lawyer. We don't live in a dictatorship. We have a constitution. These people swear to uphold the constitution. They're temporary stewards.

They're not kings. The constitution is the king. And so if you want a system where the federal government makes the rules and does it without any pushback or any checks or balances from the states or the people, well, that's not the Constitution. That is the form of government that we have now, but that's not the Constitution. He went on to say that he personally thinks the federal government has become the deep state and it's doing a lot of really bad things.

I'm not defending the Leviathan that the federal government has become. All of these things are serious problems. Serious problems require serious solutions. And nullification is not a serious solution. Does he know what happened with the nullification of medical marijuana, for example? He didn't have a war over that. And whether or not you agree with that policy, it's one of the best and biggest examples of contemporary nullification we've got. Where's he been?

You don't have to have a war. And you don't have to have tyranny and i think nullification is the uh the rightful intermediary step out of all this another letter from listener seth talking about tom rents he said i noticed um on the show uh monday particular interest in a piece you read from tom rents i actually had lunch and dinner with him late last year. He was in the Chicago suburbs where I'm from for a speech. I was invited by a friend. It was billed as a CBDC speech.

But it turned into a MAGA rally because attendees only wanted Rents to talk about Trump. Isn't that typical? I mean, we saw the same thing. You know, DeSantis wanted to pick some issues to talk about, right? But nobody wanted to talk about anything except Trump and Trump's personal problems and issues and his vengeance and all the rest of it. That's all anybody wanted to talk about. Even to the extent that DeSantis took the lead on talking about CBDC, and he did a half-hour presentation. He had a sign on the podium that said,

Stop Digital Big Brother Money or something to that effect. And he lays out the problems with CBDC. He talks about what they're doing with the Uniform Commercial Code, the UCC. We're going to prohibit CBDC from being used. Either domestic or foreign CBDC cannot be used to settle debts. We are going to allow cryptocurrency like Bitcoin, traditional money, gold and silver and things like that, but not CBDCs. And so he gets finished with the presentation, talking about all of the traps and the dangers of this. And this is an existential issue.

The media doesn't want to talk about this. They want to talk about all the usual things we've been talking about. What about abortion? What about gun control? Those are important issues, but they don't want to talk about these new existentially threatening issues. And so at the end, the very first question, what about President Trump and this Manhattan District Attorney, Alvin Bragg, and all this kind of stuff? They don't want to talk about it.

And then when he issues an opinion, well, I'm not going to, you know, I'm not going to extradite Trump if he wants Trump extradited or something. And then Trump attacks DeSantis over that. It's like he didn't throw you under the bus, but of course, you know, Trump wants to look like the victim and Trump and Laura Loomer and all these, these hacks and this Jacobin mob, we call MAGA, the MAGA mob. They went wild with all that stuff. So yeah, same thing with him.

The people there didn't want to talk about anything other than Trump. They want to talk about CBDC. They didn't care about the tyranny of the CBDC, says Seth. They cared about how to get their faux savior back in the White House. He said, just illuminates how big the Trump cult is. With that said, my friend who invited me and I stopped to get some food before the speech and Rince was there and we wound up eating together. The one thing I found interesting about what he said to us was that he said he was never involved in politics, never paid attention to politics, and never voted until COVID.

It baffles me that he, who claimed to be against COVID tyranny, said that COVID was the reason he voted for the first time in 2020 and he voted for Trump. That's why I said in 2020, this is the first time I'm not voting. First time I'm not voting because of the COVID tyranny and because I don't have a choice and because it doesn't really matter if everybody's going to lay down and do whatever Trump pays them to do or Biden pays them to do. What are we even voting for if we're going to be under medical martial law run by bureaucrats so i wasn't interested anyway so the one thing i found interesting about it was he said he was never involved in politics until that i wasn't expecting that he said and i regretted not

pushing back more but i tried to get to the point across to him that the local level is where we need to focus and that i have no plans to vote for president. But I find it interesting that there's a lot of people like Rents in the Trump orbit who were never involved in politics one bit prior to Trump running. And these folks are the same ones who foisted up people that we're now listening to. The people who have experience in this are not listened to. He said, I've been following politics, been politically active my entire life. I was in college Republican as my first year voting 2004. By the way, I repent of my sin for voting for George W. Bush. I started waking up to the system in 2012 as a Ron Paul supporter. Now I have no

plans on voting. So I'm the exact opposite of Rance. Somehow this man who claims to oppose COVID tyranny got motivated to vote for the first time for the man who initiated the tyranny. Who he says he opposes. Well, I think he got woken up to the fact. I think he woke up to the COVID tyranny. And then he realized, like a lot of these people, that there's a big MAGA cult out there, and there's a lot of money to be made to pandering to that room. I mean, I can see it.

We all can see it. Right. Uh, we all know that, um, that person accused me. Uh, I, you know, I don't support Trump. Oh, you're, you're evil. And you're just doing this for money. No, if I was doing it for money, I'd be saying the kind of stuff that Alex Jones is saying.

I would have kept my job with Alex Jones. If I was doing it for the money I'd be saying the kind of stuff that Alex Jones is saying. I would have kept my job with Alex Jones if I was doing it for the money. It's just, you know, it's that type of thing. The people who are lying to you are doing it for the money. The people who are supporting this stuff are doing it for the money. And so let's take a look first at Biden here. You know, we got this guy. I always want to call him Ben Hur. His first name is not Ben.

This is Special Counsel Hur. And he rode his chariot into Congress. And he was talking about. And so people got a chance to see in more detail his, um, the testimony of Biden when he was deposing him about these documents, these documents that just according to Biden just somehow appeared on the garage floor there, whereas Corvette was, and, um, and you know, the story, uh, he comes back and he says, yes, it was deliberate.

Yes. It was a violation of the law. But no, I'm not going to do anything about it. Because he's just a senile old man, and we don't want to throw Grandpa in jail. Even as they're throwing lots of grandpas in jail. Who, many of them, not even protesting anything. Certainly not violent on January the 6th. A trio of men.

A father, son, and another elderly man. And, um, you know, the father, the other guy, both, um, uh, elderly in their seventies, I think. And, uh, uh, they just wanted to use the bathroom. They asked the police going to use the bathroom. And yeah, it's right in there. They go in and they, they leave. And now they're looking at what could essentially be a life sentence. This is incredible. The dual standard that we're seeing with all this stuff. Uh, but before I go into Biden's testimony, I've got, I've got, uh, several things here from, uh, from all of you, um, Jason Barker.

Good to see. He says decades ago, they determined that 600 feet was a safe distance from high voltage power lines. Even power lines can affect health. Yeah, that's right and again everybody's got a different standard about what level of power is acceptable and ours is the most is the highest level of power allowed anywhere anywhere orders of magnitude higher than they allow in a lot of places in Europe. Sword Saint 7. A poll.

Do you think DK will endorse Trump today? Yes or no? Just kidding. Yeah, don't hold your breath. Owen61. Thank you for the tip. I appreciate that. I'm rumbled.

Something for the diaper fund for Travis. Congratulations, Travis and family. May God bless you. Thank you. Guard Goldsmith. Thank you for the tip, guard. That's very kind. Listening and celebrating the news for Travis and his wife from New Hampshire. Here's to wonderful days and years ahead with big smiles and faithful prayers. Thanking God for his gifts. Great news. Thank you, guard. That's so kind. I appreciate that. And it is a wonderful gift, isn't it? And we do celebrate that.

Children really are a blessing from the Lord. And we know that from experience. They become less of a blessing if you turn them over to the government to raise. You're not there with them to enjoy them, but they can really come back and haunt you. It's like, uh, uh, somebody who abuses it all the time. You're here. You watch my dog during the day. And the whole time you're there watching your dog, they're abusing it. And somehow this thing turns into this vicious creature that attacks you when you get home.

That's what the schools are like, if you want to think about it. But yeah, we're real excited about that. And we really would like your, your prayers that things would go well. Uh, well, let's talk about trump uh not trump but biden um one of the things he said was my corvette go brr that's what he said is one of many strange things that he had to say again they got into some details npr put it this way her description of biden as a quote sympathetic well-meaning elderly man with a poor memory so we'll just leave him alone right biden actually made vroom vroom car noises

and chuckled in response to questions about so, uh, this is what it looks like. Here's the transcript. He says once, um, it was while lamenting that he could drive his vintage Chevy Corvette, only the length of his driveway. Uh, and the reason for that, let me just interpose here. The reason for that is that, um, as a vice president or president, they don't allow you to drive cars. I would say, well, we're going to change that rule. Especially if I had a vintage Corvette, I would say we're definitely changing that rule. But he abided by that rule,

and he could only drive it the distance of his driveway, he said. He said the other time was during a lengthy exchange over the torque of electric vehicles. so biden asked her he says uh by the way you know how it works it's really cool her says sir i'd love i would love love to hear much more about this but i do have a few more questions to get through will you step your foot on the accelerator all the way down until it gets about six, seven grand. It's not about the RPMs. Then all of a sudden it'll say launch.

And all you do is take your foot off the brake. The transcript then indicates that he made a car sound and laughed. Her responded, well, it's on my bucket list. Before he turned to questions regarding classified documents that had been discovered at the Penn Biden Center, the Pennsylvania Biden Center. And then more confusion and delusion during the interview. So Biden says, and so this is I'm at this stage in 2009. Am I still vice president? The date is April 20th, 2009.

Biden says aloud, was I still vice president? I was, wasn't I? Oh, yeah. Well, if it was 2013, when did I stop being vice president? I ate there all the time, Biden said. What I do there at the Four Seasons, who'd i have lunch with well he was having lunch with hunter's chinese executives kirkbaum interjects actually i'm not sure he said still i have to figure that out well i don't remember biden concluded and this is what he says over

and over again i don't remember and so this is i'm at this stage in 2009 am i still vice president yeah this is keeps going back into this over and over again beyond biden having dementia and behaving like a toddler however there is a real criminal element at play here now see this is where i disagree with a lot i i don't you know maybe there is a criminal aspect to some of this stuff um but uh you know the only person that they brought these charges against is trump they didn't bring them against pence they didn't bring them against uh uh biden and so forth um and um you know if these people the president has the ability to declassify anything, and he does, even if he didn't formally do it as Trump didn't do it. We clearly understand what's going on here.

But the double standard is just the smoking gun with all this. And these people will want to hold Trump harmless and go after Biden. They're no better than the Democrats, frankly. And they say that because they say he was president and these guys are, you know, vice president. But again, it just goes to show how both sides want to lock the other guy up and leave and make excuses for their guy, whatever is involved. President struggled to recall so much, even about his son, Bo.

The transcript of her two-day interview with Biden, reviewed by the Washington Examiner, is part of a wider report released in February that concluded Biden should not be criminally charged for his apparent mishandling of classified documents. Hur did not recommend charges because Biden's memory was significantly limited and so forth.

A sympathetic, as I said, well-meaning elderly man with a poor memory. Both Republicans and Democrats, for different political purposes yesterday, had him testify before Congress. They're likely to contrast his findings with those of special counsel Jack Smith going after Trump, recommending criminal charges for Trump for his mishandling of classified documents, but not for Biden. So both Republicans and Democrats have a different purpose behind this stuff.

There's a lot of Democrats who would like to get Biden out on the senility thing. This is his off ramp, but he's not taking it. He's still sitting in the driver's seat going vroom, vroom. Biden willfully retained classified memos, and he did it in order to write a book and he made eight million dollars on that book well I wish I could make that much on writing a book I'd write one to get me some classified documents first majority of Democrats oppose the certification of the 2024 election if donald trump wins isn't that interesting the shoe on the other foot yeah if trump wins what are they

going to do they're are we going to have a january the 6th part due regardless of who wins you know if they say that trump doesn't win are the trump people going to do it again if they say that trump does win well the democrats want to do it now partisanship is killing this country and that's what they want it to do 57 percent of democrat voters would try to stop congress from certifying the 2024 election, they said, if Trump wins. This is from Rasmussen Reports. So they commissioned national, let's see, who is it? National Pulse commissioned Rasmussen to do a scientific poll. 57% of Democrats would oppose certification. Nearly two-thirds of people who described themselves as liberal

said they would oppose certification. Two-thirds of people who described themselves as liberal said they would oppose certification. Two-thirds. But overall, 35% of voters would support opposing certification. So the vast majority of the public is not with the Democrats. 55% would oppose lawmakers refusing to certify a Trump victory. And then if you look at these four counts that are part of this special prosecutor's movements against Trump for January the 6th, the four counts, conspiracy to defraud the U.S.,

conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding, which is what these people want to do, right? They're ready to do it if it's the other way around. Obstruction of an attempt to obstruct an official proceeding, which is what these people want to do, right? They're ready to do it if it's the other way around. Obstruction of and attempt to obstruct an official proceeding. Conspiracy against rights. And the penalty for these offenses adds up to 55 years in prison. And yet two-thirds of liberals want to do what the conservatives did on january the 6th like i said when i began my program in august of 2017 my first guest was somebody from a secession movement in california upset about the fact that

trump was president and we saw that with a lot of different things so this is the danger of rabid partisanship, you know, doing this for a party or doing it for a man. You know, the MAGA people say, well, we don't care about the Republican Party. They don't. But they, you know, even worse, because what is the party? It's a collection of a lot of people. They're about one man, one man. And North Carolina, there is a loophole in their weak voter ID law. I didn't even know that they had a voter ID law in North Carolina.

They didn't when I was living there. And I've told the story many times that in 2012, Karen's twin brother had a friend who went to vote, and I know the way it was in North Carolina. You would show up, and you didn't have to show them any ID. Zero. Zip. All you do is give them a name, and you'd give them an address, and they would look through their computer printout, and they'd find the name and address.

And then it would be marked there whether or not you had voted. And so they told my brother-in-law's friend, they said, I'm sorry, you've already voted. So what? And this other person has already voted too at your house. He said, that's my mom. She's been dead for a couple of years. So he and his dead mom had already voted. And I said, yeah, you got to get this guy.

Let me interview him. He doesn't want to go public. They don't want to go public with this. Well, that was 2012 the next year. And I wasn't aware of this and North Carolina, uh, they made some changes.

And, um, uh, so, um, the history of this was that, um, uh,

the North Carolina general assembly passed a series of election related laws the next year, in 2013. The state legislature then presented a revised voter ID law in 2015 that included an exemption to having an ID. And that was a reasonable impediment. If you said that you had a reasonable impediment and you couldn't get an ID, then you don't have to provide it. Well, this last super tuesday march the 5th they had 1.7 million north carolina voters more than 1 000 of them cast what is known as a provisional ballot

id not provided of those 1 000 voters about half, 546, later returned to show their IDs, but another 600 voters never showed a photo ID. Instead, simply signed a form claiming that they had a reasonable impediment and they couldn't present an ID. And so in this article, they have pictures of signs. Attention voters, photo ID will be requested. But if you have no photo ID, please sign an affidavit. And you can put any kind of excuse that you want to on that affidavit. So it's not quite there yet. But when I was there, they didn't have anything like that.

It was totally wide open. And when this was being discussed in 2015, guess who was marshalling the forces to get this exemption put in? George Soros. That's right. When the Republicans proposed a revision adding a reasonable impediment, exception, a Soros-backed group called Democracy North Carolina spent weeks encouraging hundreds of citizens to attend and to speak out at hearings regarding the legislation and celebrated the inclusion of the reasonable impediment provision you got to ask yourself why does george soros want to have

district attorneys who turn criminals loose so why does he want to have no ID and all that? It's self-evident, isn't it? Then we look at Trump, and the liberals think they've got him now. I don't think anybody's really going to pay any attention to this, but it shows us what a loose cannon he is and how he hasn't really thought about policy at all. I mean, it's about theater it's about celebrity it's about all the rest of stuff but he doesn't really think about the policies trump just opened the door to social security cuts take him seriously says vox and politico

says he just did an unforced error that is really big. Take it very seriously. Now, I could take, I could believe that he would be capable of doing this if somebody pays him enough money. Because if you go back and look at his tax cuts, they were mostly for Wall Street and things like that. And he is for sale and he's never needed and wanted money more desperately than right now, frankly, with these cases.

As President Trump never pursued large cuts to Medicare or Social Security benefits, says Vox. And he implored his party to avoid them during a debt ceiling fight last year. Since the time of FDR and the time they put in social security, the Democrats have always hung this on Republicans. You want to get rid of social security and all the rest of the stuff. And they, and so they've been fighting that. In an interview with CNBC, Trump said that he was open to cutting entitlement spending.

Then his campaign said, no, he's not. Trump's reflections on public policy tend to bear only a loose resemblance to coherent thoughts. And quite frankly, you can't trust anything that he says as a candidate. When he was running, it was border issue. It was Obamacare with big issues. He had a great medical program for Obamacare that he didn't follow through on. Not any of it. As a matter of fact, it was about a dozen different points.

All of them are great. Let's give people purchasing power. Let's give them information as consumers. Let's remove barriers to competition. All this type of stuff is all market-based type of things. And as soon as he got elected, I remember covering that in detail. I said, well, I don't know. I never hear him talk about this.

But this is a great policy. Does he just not want to talk about it because he thinks that it might be used by Hillary against him? Or is he not talking about it because he doesn't care about it? It turned out to be that, the latter. Because as soon as he was elected, that page got deep-sixed. You could only find it on the Wayback Machine. And he never mentioned it. He never mentioned it as candidate. He never mentioned it as president. And he didn't do anything at all about that, even though he was

a Republican president. He had a Republican Congress and a Republican Senate. So his remarks about entitlements on CNBC on Monday were no exception. In that exchange, the anchor told Trump, something needs to be done about entitlement costs. And then he asked the former president, what should he do? And has he changed his mind about cutting Social Security and Medicare? Trump said, well, so first of all, there's a lot you can do in terms of entitlements in terms

of cutting and in terms of also the theft of the bad management of entitlements tremendous bad management of entitlements there's tremendous amounts of things and numbers of things that you can do so um he says so i don't necessarily agree with that statement that there's nothing that we can cut for entitlement. And so then Biden pounced on it. All these different liberal things are pouncing on it. They're doing commercials about it. The Trump campaign replied, said, if you losers didn't cut his answer short, you would know president Trump was talking about cutting waste. Well,

as they say, the rebuttal is disingenuous. He plainly stated, there's a lot the government could do in terms of cutting entitlements and also in terms of combating theft and bad management also, right? He also, so he did both of these cuts and that,

uh, but you know, here's, here's the bottom line, right? So security, again, let know, here's the bottom line. Social Security, again, somebody mentioned that and they used to come after Ayn Rand for that. Social Security is not welfare. Social Security is a coerced Ponzi scheme.

You're forced to participate in it. It's not an option. They take money from you all your life and perhaps they'll give you back some devalued, you know, because of their inflation, some kind of sum of what you paid in over the years. But it's not welfare. It is coerced Ponzi scheme. But Politico, Donald Trump's unforced error. They said for decades, there was one tried

and true staple of presidential campaigns. The Democrat nominee would whack the Republican on the proposals to reform, cut or privatize Social Security and other entitlements and then reap the political rewards. In the most evocative example in 2012, an attack, an ad from a progressive agency group showed a character strongly resembling Paul Ryan literally pushing a grandmother in a wheelchair off a cliff. Remember that? Four years later, Trump changed the calculus. After watching Republicans fight losing battles over entitlement reform,

in 2008, for example, Obama's campaign outspent McCain on the issue by a factor of 150 to 1, Trump decided to avoid the political turkey shoot entirely, but not now. And now he's the turkey they're shooting at because he stepped in it. So whether or not, you know, he's just lost a couple of steps on this or whatever is happening, he is gloating nevertheless of retirement retirement of a republican who um began to oppose trump on this election stuff ken buck a conservative and he is a conservative i mean he's not a liberal republican and he was somebody who at the very beginning of all of this

uh was got into a lot of trouble defending trump and saying we need to take a look at this election and make sure this stuff was legit uh but um you know by the time uh they you know after they got to a certain point he opposed january the 6th like i opposed january the 6th i said sorry you've gotten too far they haven't done anything uh you know that is not a solution anymore at this point in time and that got him the ire of trump trump welcomed the news that ken buck is retiring he says good news for the country uh the problem is is that ken buck is a lot more conservative than trump and he's a lot more principled than Trump is. And as he leaves now, they get a super thin margin. They had a super thin margin in Congress, but they have made him so angry, this Trump mob,

that he's just like, forget about it. I'm out of here. I don't want to be here. This place is a clown show. And so now their razor thin margin gets even thinner. See, Trump is not really playing 40 chess. He's playing revenge and he doesn't really care for him. Revenge is winning.

He doesn't even want to have a majority in, uh, in Congress. And it's kind of interesting as his daughter, uh, in Congress. And it's kind of interesting as his daughter-in-law takes over the RNC with another person who is a Trump loyalist. You know, she said, we got one job, and that is to elect Trump. And then she comes back as she's put in, she goes, we got one job, and that is to get Republicans in control of the Senate and the Congress and Trump elected. Well, that's three jobs, isn't it?

She, she's like a Spanish Inquisition techniques and so forth. Anyway, um, he announced his retirement. He said he's disappointed. The Republican party continues to rely on this lie that the 2020 election was stolen and rely on the January the sixth narrative and political prisoners narrative from January six and other things. So I disagree with him on that. I think the January, the six prisoners are political prisoners without a doubt. Uh, but if you look at him on these issues and again, uh, you know, people

have been driven away, you know, of all, if you don't support Trump, you know, we're going to kick you out of the camp and it makes them more hardened. I mean, it is a literal civil war in the Republican party. What Trump is doing to this country, as well as to his own party, is self-destructive. He is 64, former federal prosecutor, a stringent conservative but nevertheless now a trump critic in a video posted social media he repeated his message to the party said too many republican leaders are lying to america claiming the 2020 election was stolen describing january the 6th as an unguided tour of the capitol and asserting that the ensuing prosecutions are a weaponization of our justice system.

Well, I mean, it was actually a guided tour for some of the people. They actually had guards taking, well, look at this. I mean, it was, and people are being persecuted. I don't have any other term for it when you give people such long sentences. Made them wait in jail. Kept them incarcerated under torturous conditions. That is political persecution. But again, I think that any concerns that you've got about the election,

they failed to really even do anything about that, as I pointed out the other day. You know, he had this election defense fund. They didn't give any money to that. He kept all the money himself. The whole thing was a fraud. And they had planned it from the beginning. Steve Bannon said, well, you know, this is the way it's going to work.

He said to his Chinese backers, his Chinese backers, let that sink in. This is the way it's going to work. You know, they're going to come out and claim that they won, and we're going to come out and say, F you. And we're going to run this whole thing. One thing he didn't say was we're going to grift our supporters, make lots of money. But they did that as well.

Anyway, so he had some other things to say. He said, I'm retiring so I don't have to lie on behalf of Trump and the GOP. He said, we've gone from a time when the Tea Party stood for conservative principles, for constitutional principles, to a time where they have taken over the Republican Party and really are advocating things that I believe are very dangerous. And I'm not going to be, I'm not going to lie on behalf of a presidential candidate, on behalf of my party. And, you know, when it comes to, um, the things that were happening under Trump, he opposed the lockdown, he opposed the vaccines, he opposed the

trillions of dollars in aid. He opposed the mass, the six foot distancing, all that stuff that was being advocated, uh, paid for brib, bribed by Donald Trump at the time. He said the House has become dysfunctional. He said it is the worst year of the nine years and three months that I've been in Congress and having talked to former members, it is the worst year in 40 to 50 years to be in Congress. So where is this guy on some of these issues? Again, a legitimate conservative, a staunch fiscal conservative who, unlike trillion-dollar

Trump, multi-trillion-dollar Trump, the bankruptcy king, he did not want to fund that stuff with a lockdown in December. But, you know, he was not always against this election questioning. In December of 2020, he was one of 126 Republican members of the House representative to sign an amicus brief in support of Texas versus Pennsylvania, a lawsuit that was filed at the U.S. Supreme Court contesting the results of the 2020 presidential election. So he was one of only 126 Republicans to contest this election, to sign a brief to contest it.

But he later became one of a group of seven Republicans who did not support their colleagues' efforts to challenge the results of the election on January the 6th. I think he was right on these issues. I think they should have challenged the election and had more transparency and investigation about it. But I think the January the 6th thing, and I said it, that's why I got fired. I said it's going to be a catastrophe. People are going, there's going to be agent provocateurs there.

It's a trap. And before the trap, they're fleecing people. It's nothing but a grift by alex and trump the stop the steal money that went to alex and who knows what he did with that check the caribbean foreign bank accounts that he's got uh and then um you know the money that that trump got 250 million dollars that he kept and split with the RNC partners in crime. So these seven Republicans signed a letter that while giving credence to election fraud allegations that Trump had made said, Congress did not have the authority to influence the elections outcome. And that's absolutely true.

Thomas Massey said that as well. And, and Pence was right about it when he, you know, Massey said they didn't give us anything to work with. They didn't go to any of the state legisl. And Pence was right about it. Massey said they didn't give us anything to work with. They didn't go to any of the state legislatures where it was razor-thin thing and convince the state legislature. They didn't have to only go to the courts. They could have gone to the Republican legislatures,

and I talked about that on December the 14th, which was the day that the Electoral College votes were turned in. And I said, so here's what they failed to do. They had four states, razor-thin margins. All four states had Republican legislatures. Two of them had Republican governors. They did not go to make the case that there were a small number of votes that were counted the wrong way.

If they had done that, even at the legislatures, and if the state legislature had sent these electors then there would have been something to discuss there would have been a lawsuit over that the republicans could have said well you know we've got we've got a group of legislators uh we got a group of electors that have been sent by the legislature another one that's been sent by the executive branch by the board of elections what do we do with that i got two different but they didn't have two different ones not a single state so where was he on things like abortion well he opposed abortion unlike trump now right he opposed abortion uh without any exceptions except for the life of the mother

on covet 19 he opposed the restrictions, the COVID restrictions. He said, in Denver, he said, we went like lambs to the slaughter. We can't allow that to happen again. He voted against the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021. He called it funding for pet projects that Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer's home states wanted and for funding for planned parenthood. Uh, he was much better on this lockdown and garbage that then Trump, Trump was one who was funding this stuff and he was opposing it led by like lambs to the

slaughter on education, he wants to completely revamp the department of education or get rid of it. He said, there's no constitutional authority for there to be a department of education. Trump never there's no constitutional authority for there to be a Department of Education. Trump never said that. On the environment, he rejected these climate change narratives. He endorsed the views of Senator James Inhofe. He said Inhofe was the first person to stand up and say this global warming is the greatest

hoax that's been perpetrated. The evidence just keeps supporting his view and more and more people's view of what's going on. What did Trump do? Trump kept the Paris Climate Accord. Because his green, oily Secretary of State, Rex Tillerson, said to do it. Because his daughter said to do it. He kept it the entire four years.

Refused to get rid of it. Just like Mitch McConnell would not call a, a vote over it. So again, on this issue, he's far more conservative and principled than Trump is. And this is why I'm going over just to show you the fact, this is nothing other than a cult of personality worship.

It's not about conservatism. And just like the listener said earlier, these are people who've never been involved in politics. They've never paid any attention to it before. They got into it because of Trump, and they don't see anything other than Trump. None of these things matter to these MAGA people. Foreign policy. In 2020, Buck voted against the National Defense Authorization Act, which would prevent the president from withdrawing soldiers from Afghanistan without congressional approval. How do we get this upside down?

You're not supposed to put troops in a war unless you've got congressional approval for a war. Instead, they put in the NDAA saying you can't stop the war unless you get congressional approval. See how they turn everything upside down? This is, it's that way. Everything in Washington is that way. Exactly upside down and opposite of the Constitution.

In June 2021, he was one of 49 House Republicans to vote to repeal the use of military force authorization against Iran. This is the thing that they have used to say, we've got justification to go anywhere that we want to do anything that we want the authorization for the use of military force he was against that only one of 49 house he's not only a conservative he's one of the better conservatives there in september 2021 buck was among 75 house republicans to vote against the ndaa which contained a provision that would require women to be drafted. In 2023, he was among 47 Republicans to vote in favor of a resolution to direct Biden to remove troops from Syria within 180 days. Now, unfortunately, he voted to support Israel in the current war, so he's got one wrong

vote there. But he's opposed gun control. He's being endorsed by gun owners of America, the people who are really serious about Second Amendment, not the NRA, on LGBT issues. He's pushed from, again, he's been there for 10 years. He said, I believe that being gay is a choice. I think birth has an influence over it, just like alcoholism. But I think basically you still have a choice. The log cabin Republicans came after him in 2015. He said, I think the military's don't ask, don't tell policy is the right way to go with this stuff.

In 2015, he condemned the Supreme Court's decision that held that same-sex marriage bans violated the Constitution. On June 19, 2022, he voted against the Respect for Marriage Act. See, when that passed, Trump had a big LGBT rally at Mar-a-Lago when Biden passed the Respect for Marriage Act. And then, of course, Trump has been pushing the LGBT agenda for transgenders back when he had the party. On LGBT rights, in other words, Buck is 100% aligned with a conservative view. Trump is 100% aligned with New York Democrat view.

In 2021, he opposed the Equality Act, saying it would force doctors to treat LGBT patients. Despite their religious objections, force them to do mutilating surgeries on people in 2023, co-sponsor the protection of women and girls in sports act, a nationwide ban on transgender and intersex girls, taking over these things on national security.

I just got a couple more of these on national security over the debate over the USA, so called USA freedom reauthorization act. Uh, he said, um, let's rename it. It's not the USA freedom act. It is a bill to be known as the federal initiative to spy on Americans act, which spells out FISA. So he's onto that game, right?

We know that FISA was supposed to stop them from spying on Americans. Instead, they used it to spy on Americans. Well, just like they, you know, turn everything upside down. Like I said,

he only got 35 votes to change the name to what it really is. Congressional prohibition on stock trading. He was part of trying to push that. And, of course, fiscal responsibility. One of only 71 Republicans who voted against the final passage of the 2023 so-called Fiscal Responsibility Act act which had no responsibility at all in it so he's far far far more conservative in principle than donald trump on most of these issues trump was with the democrats then or now these are the people that are being driven out by trump and this is what's happening with the MAGA cult.

Truly is amazing to watch it happen again. Don't focus on the federal elections for these reasons. Focus on your local elections. It's hard enough there. As the listener pointed out, it's hard enough. It's difficult enough to get good people in at the local level. But it is at least possible. If you like the Eagles, on a dark desert highway,

the Cars, and Huey Lewis and the News, they say the hotter rock and roll is competing. You'll love the Classic Hits channel at APS Radio. Download our app or listen now at APSradio.com. Thank you. Terima kasih telah menonton! you're listening to the David Knight show well you, when we look at these two clowns, one of them completely senile and the other one starting to get there. But, of course, it doesn't really matter because he doesn't have any principles or base to start with. We have the White House, the Biden White House, claiming that borrowing $16 trillion over the next decade is fiscally responsible like i said they don't they keep using that fiscal um word but i don't think they know what it means

you're all the princess bribe i guess uh babbling bee to uh talk about what's happening with inflation due to inflation subway has introduced new five dollar inch long subs one inch long sub uh but there is a lot of talk this is coming from michael every of rabo bank he says uh there's um because of breakdowns that are happening geopolitically everywhere he said there's a lot of talk about a new monetary golden age or a digital one. And so that's the issue. You know, which way are we going to go? Either way, when you look at it, there's two different options that people are hoping are going to get them outside of the dollar.

People are prepping in a number of ways. But again, my instinct is just to get as far away as i can from anything that is digital i just see it all as a trap whether you're talking about games vr ar uh you know the cryptocurrency and that stuff is like i'm done with that stuff i'm turning into a real luddite that That's my perspective on it. I want to have something that is physical, that is real. I don't even like the paper money anymore. So that's one of the reasons why we're glad to have Tony Arderman supporting this show. He's been a big help to this show.

And it's great to have a resource that I can recommend. You know, a lot of people ask me about medical stuff and medical stuff is not there yet. You know, there's a lot of people trying to put things together, but it's still in its infancy. And I think that's going to happen and other ways that people can prep. But it's good to know that we've got somebody

who is on our side, who is honest, that can get large or small, gold or silver, that you can even set up a savings program on a regular basis, take advantage of group buying. You know, even if you're buying a small amount, you can still get a better price because it's a group. That's what he's got with Wolfpack. And so you can get to Tony Ardaban's Wise Wolf Gold.

DavidKnight.Gold will take you there, and it'll let him know that you came through us. But everywhere we look, there is, um, all of these governments aren't exactly the same page, just as they were with, uh, the pandemic lies, the pandemic MacGuffin, just as they are with the climate MacGuffin, they're all on exactly the same page and lockstep with each other, The World Bank president has advocated a global digital ID scheme at another tech conference. How many times do they have to do this? Every person who is at the national or international level is pushing for this in one form or the other.

It truly is amazing to see the unity in all of this. But let's take a quick look at some of the news. I said earlier that I was going to talk about what's happening with car insurance. It truly is amazingly subversive. And I want to get to that. But first, an update to what we talked about yesterday, the Boeing whistleblower who died very suddenly in the middle of doing this testimony, he's been working on this stuff for years. His attorneys were amazed at all this stuff, and now they're speaking out even more and it gets even more, uh, uh, suspicious.

And this is actually an article coming from a leftist publication. Uh, he was in very good spirits, said his lawyers, and he was really looking forward to putting this phase of his life behind him and moving on. They did not see any indication of a suicide risk with his Boeing whistleblower. With all the things that were happening with Boeing, this, you know, suddenly shot himself, they say, in his car or something. The 62-year-old Louisiana-based whistleblower traveled to Charleston, South Carolina to finally be deposed for his 2017 OSHA complaint against his ex-employer when his attorney, Brian Knowles, told the corporate crime reporter blog that he failed to show up at one of the sessions over the weekend.

In an initial autopsy report, the coroner's office said that the 32-year-old, the 32-year Boeing employee, he was 62 years old, but he'd worked for them for 32 years, appeared to have died from self-inflicted gunshot wound. But his lawyers are urging investigators to take a closer look. They said John was in the midst of a deposition in his whistleblower retaliation case, which finally was nearing the end, they said. He was in very good spirits and really looking forward to putting this phase of his life behind him and moving on. We didn't see any indication that he would take his own life. No one can believe it. Although Barnett did not indicate

that his time at Boeing, where he spent 32 years in quality control and multiple decades as a manager, resulted in stress. But they said previous reports have not suggested that he had any deeper mental health issues or experienced any suicidal ideation. And so Futurism writes, to be fair, people who plan to end their lives don't always show visible signs of risk. But given that Barnett was, as his attorneys point out, nearing the end of his protracted battle, the circumstances surrounding his untimely death do indeed seem eyebrow raising. Over and over again, we see people who are whistleblowers talking about very powerful institutions and then suddenly they commit suicide and nobody can understand why that is happening doesn't seem like there's any and this is another one of those the whistleblower's attorney said in their statement that they urge investigators to look into his death fully and accurately and added no detail can be left unturned we are all

devastated we need more information about what happened to john well as we see that we there's another uh there's a documentary four-part true crime series documentaries on netflix maybe you've seen it american conspiracy the octopus murders and um this is another person who uh suddenly uh uh committed suicide can't understand that an expose about the irrevocable damage that can come from falling down the rabbit hole the political conspiracy of the century. But as I said, since this is a Netflix documentary, the documentary, the people that did it, they said it becomes a portrait of the hazards proposed opposed by such thinking. So I guess I'm going to pass on this.

They're going to make this and say, see, he just fell into this rabbit hole as a conspiracy theorist. But they said it was designed to make one's head spin until it hurts american conspiracy the octopus murders the tale of danny casolaro a writer who was found dead in a sheraton hotel bathtub police swiftly dubbed this a suicide since he had been alone and his wrist had been cut, and he had left a farewell note. Those closest to the outgoing and loving man, however, thought otherwise. And here's why. His wrist had 12 separate slash wounds that were so deep that they severed the tendons.

So how did he do that? How did he sever all the tendons on this hand, and then he takes that hand and he severs the tendons on the other one? Moreover, there was blood all over the room in places that made no sense if he had been simply ending his own life. Most suspicious of all, though, was the fact that just a few short weeks before his demise, he had told his brother that if something had happened to him, it would not be an accident we see that over and over again don't we as a matter of fact there was a

few years ago i remember the case um about 10 years ago uh somebody that's working with the bbc mi5 mi6 or something like that and a similar situation of this they had become a whistleblower, and somehow they ended up dead and stuffed in a suitcase. And so I call it the spy in the bag case. And everybody was looking at this and saying, come on. You can't die from being stuffed into a suitcase and sealing yourself in there. And it was so ridiculous. Everybody was laughing about it. So what they did was the British spy agency hired a small woman who was a contortionist to get into the bag.

And oh, by the way, his fingerprints were not on the outside of the bag either. Um, but they, they hired this woman to get in the thing and to zip it up. It's like, okay, well then she can get back out again if she zipped it up. And, uh, let's see you do that without leaving any fingerprints on the outside of the bag next time. But she was way smaller than this guy was i mean it just just ridiculous stuff there was another one uh about a hollywood writer who got wind of some stuff that was happening with the cia and he was writing

about it and he told his friends he was getting death threats and things like that and then he just disappeared. And a decade or so later, they found him. His car was in the water where there was a bridge. But there was no, he didn't go through the bridge. Nobody ever, he didn't break through the railing or anything. There's no sign that he'd crashed off of the bridge into the water. The car was just in the water under the bridge. And when they pulled him out his hands had been cut off maybe that explains how he drove the car into the water had no hands right

you see this stuff all the time and it's absurdly put out there as if it's suicide it's just amazing you know we're supposed to you know artificial intelligence can't hallucinate any better in terms of coming up with improbable stuff in these people. Casolaro's death and the theory they had been murdered soon became local news since he hadn't been any old scribe. multi-tentacled conspiracy that he referred to as the octopus, which involved software engineers, businessmen, drug dealers, gun runners, organized crime,

the CIA, FBI, NSA, isn't that redundant? Organized crime. I mean, uh, and various individuals related to the Ronald Reagan white house.

Casolaro had stumbled upon this while employed by Computer Age, a newsletter about computer business, and it all began with Inslaw, a firm founded by Bill Hamilton that had created a revolutionary nationwide criminal case tracking system for law enforcement agencies known as Promise. In the second year of a three-year contract, the Department of Justice abruptly stopped paying Inslaw for Promise, forcing the firm into bankruptcy. He did lawsuits and telephone threats to Hamilton and sued, all of which were so over the top that it made Hamilton and those aligned with him, including former Attorney General Elliot Richardson, suspect that the DOJ was up to something that was much dirtier than Watergate. Uh, well, you know, we, we know Ron Contra, we know about the, uh, you know, uh, Bill Casey, Reagan's, um, guy that he was his campaign director.

And then he became a CIA director and he, and what he was doing with Iran at the time, uh, that, uh, Reagan was running an 80 with the hostages. Anyway, what he believed he uncovered was a web of interrelated offenses that suggested a clandestine world of spies, wheeler dealers, and psychos. We're describing the federal government here, aren't we? Just in general. Determined to wield power in the shadows. Casolaro eventually planned to write a book about all this,

only to die before this came to fruition. Again, you know, cutting both wrists so deeply that he cut the tendons and blood all over the place before he got to the bathtub. Yeah, this is not, uh, the Godfather or a Roman, uh, suicide here, but I said, I was going to get to the insurance companies. Automakers are feeding your trip data into insurance companies without you even knowing about it. You're not opting into this. And of course, this has been something that has been put out there. I've talked about it many times in the UK. They wanted to keep young people from

having cars and growing up with that experience. And so what they would do is they made the car insurance extremely expensive, so expensive that siblings would, um, you know, have to, uh, go together on car insurance for one car. So they co-own the car and copay for the insurance. And then you could only drive at X number of miles a month. And it had a black box there that was measuring, um, how much you drove, how far you drove and how you drove. And if it didn't like the way that you drove, it would raise your rates. And so you're, you're, but you know that you are submitting to this, getting something of a discount there by submitting to this black box, which is going to be looking at everything that you do while you're driving.

But this is different. This is General Motors, Ford, and others who are reporting and snitching on the way that you drive to the insurance companies. So the automotive branch of transportation, if you go back to the 1934 technocracy study course, this is from technocracy news. And he says that yeah this was all spelled out how nobody would have a private car this is in the 1930s when you had the technocrats wanted to install a technocracy you had people like hg wells you had people like elon musk grandfather literally try to overthrow the government and do that and so they described

all this stuff but i don't have time to get on it. It's interesting. But here's what happened. A Mr. Dahl, 65, was surprised in 2022 when the cost of his car insurance jumped by 21%. Quotes from other insurance companies were also very high. One insurance agent told him that his Lexus Nexus report was a factor. So when he requested it, they had to send him a 258-page report under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. What it contained stunned him.

There were more than 130 pages detailing every time that he and his wife had driven their Chevy Bolt over the previous six months. And it included the dates of the 640 trips, the starting and ending time, the distance driven and an accounting of any speeding, hard braking or sharp acceleration. And the only thing I didn't have was where they had driven the car. On a Thursday morning in June, for example, the car had been driven 7.33 miles in 18 minutes where there had been two rapid accelerations and two incidents of hard braking. According to the report, the trip details have been provided by GM, the manufacturer of this Chevy Volt. Lexus Nexus analyzed the driving data to create a risk score for insurers to use. And that's what happened with it.

So you better get an old car. And then as he put this up on a forum for people who were fans of this, all these other people started looking into it, and they said, wait a minute, I have a similar situation like that as well. It's not limited to drivers who willingly participate in this. In fact, they don't know. Ford Motor patented an application acknowledges a reluctance of drivers

to actively share this data. So we're going to passively grab it through internet-connected vehicles. So just like, you know, you have your phone before they had the GPS in it even. They could make these kind of extrapolations. One person who had a Cadillac in Palm Beach County,

Florida asked not to be named because he's considering a lawsuit against GM. He was denied auto insurance by seven companies in December. When he asked why they told him, look at your Lexus Nexus report by one agent. He said, there was all this stuff about hard braking and hard accelerating. He said, I don't know what their definition of a hard

brake is my passenger's head is not hitting the dash the same with acceleration i'm not peeling out i'm not sure how the car defines that i don't feel like i am driving aggressively or dangerously you know all this is happening as tesla is talking about their new Roadster going zero to 60 in one second. Folks, it's a trap. If you do that, you're going to wind up never being able to insure your car because they'll be spying on you with all that stuff. He said he finally wound up having to go to a private broker and they charged him double what he had been paying simply because Cadillac thought that he was braking too hard and accelerating too hard. I would never be able to get insurance the rest of my life

if they had something like that on me. Thank you for joining us. Have a good day, and get an old car that doesn't have all the electronic bells and whistles on it. Thank you. Let me tell you, the David Knight Show you can listen to with your ears.
