As the clock strikes 13, it's Wednesday, the 14th of December, year of our Lord 2022, day 1007 of the medical martial law. Today we're going to have David Shantz joining us later in the program, the lawyer I talked to a week or two ago about what was happening in the military. He's very involved in terms of many of these military cases. It is continuing to go on. And so we want to talk to him about what is going to change even after the

NDAA gets signed. And of course, we're going to talk about what is going on with FTX and SBF and all of the other three letter acronyms that are becoming so common. But we're going to begin by talking about something that is, I think, more direct and more important. So stay with us. We will be right back. I said something that is more direct and more important. Because we're seeing the financial system weaponized against us. Yes, this is a massive case of fraud uh with sbf there's a lot of political implications in it a lot of political corruption a lot of cover-up of that corruption we'll talk about why he was indicted and taken out but this weaponization of the financial system

that we've seen now with paypal many times el Elon Musk has said, because he wants to compete with PayPal, admits that it is moving towards a social credit system. But we have seen individuals purged out of the banking system. I've been kicked out of PayPal, out of Venmo. I've been demonetized on many different platforms. But BitChute is one of the places where we upload, and we have four places that we upload. BitChute is where we have the most followers. I would argue that it is the freest platform,

and for that reason, it is targeted still by Twitter. As a matter of fact, I tweeted out today to Elon Musk, just in case he sees it. Maybe I'm so heavily shadow banned that he won't see it. But I tweeted out and I said, so here's what happens when anybody clicks on any of my videos. It's been going on for years to go to BitChute. And are you ever going to fix this?

You are censoring entire platforms that are real free speech platforms, unlike this phony thing, Twitter. Twitter is still as phony as it could possibly be, and I seriously doubt whether it is ever going to be a free speech platform. But when you look at, uh, when I click on, anybody clicks on,

I click on it. Anybody clicks on a bit shoot link. It says that you're going to a dangerous site. You sure you really want to do this? I mean, they could get all kinds of information from you and all. That's an absolute lie. Why are they after bit shoot so much?

Because they don't filter anything. I mean, it's actually, uh, somewhat annoying to see all the comments from all the little Fuentes, fanboys, and neo-Nazis, and the rest of this stuff just litter the comments on my bit shoot videos. I don't like to turn off comments. I like to let people have a discussion, but it's become the majority of it. And it is

disgusting, but you can turn off the comments as a poster so that you can shut up the Fuentes crowd. But this is what's happening to BitChute right now. They said, the banks won't give us our money. Two years ago, BitChute became the target of an activist group that attempted to shut us down by pressuring our suppliers. As a result, we lost some server hosting, our office space, other suppliers. We also lost our bank account with HSBC, a bank account that we'd had in good standing without any issues since we had launched in 2017. We initially tried to open a new account with a different bank and transfer our money. However, the new bank rejected us just as the funds reached them. Our money was returned to HSBC, but we could no longer access it. It's in like, you know, the twilight zone, the phantom zone. It's in limbo. They can't get to it. Caught between two banks or caught

with an HSBC who won't give it to them. Even today, we have still not retrieved our money from HSBC. In August 2021, after failing to get a resolution through the HSBC, hang on a second here, frozen up here on my thing here, through the HSBC complaints process, we requested arbitration through the UK's banking ombudsman. We were informed of a long wait due to COVID, which had resulted in a lot of banking-related problems for businesses. And it wouldn't be until November 2022 that our case would even be assigned. But since arbitration started, we've provided many details, including the bank account where HSBC could send our money.

But listen to this. After they gave HSBC the bank account, say, here's a bank that's been doing business with us. You can send it to this one. Within a week of handing over that information, the new bank account was suspended without notice. It's almost as if somebody at HSBC or somebody inside the banking system is turning this thing off. Do you remember the history of HSBC? I talked to Everett Stern, who was a whistleblower at HSBC. They had been convicted of money laundering for drug cartels and for terrorist groups.

And as part of that conviction, which involved just a few billion dollars, which is a pocket change for HSBC. The Hong Kong Shanghai Bank, they began by financing the drug trade, the opium trade in China. That's their history. Still doing it, by the way. And because as part of this investigation, Matt Taibbi did a series on it back when he was at he was at Rolling Stone. And it was the title of that was too big to jail because Eric Holder said,

it's just not in, you know, kind of like you may see with SBF, although they may hang this guy out to dry. They may hang him in jail. Who knows? But Eric Holder said it's not in anybody's interest to take a bank this big and put any of the people who've been doing money laundering for drug cartels and for terrorist groups. It's not in anybody's interest to send any of them to jail. So Matt Taibbi said, yeah, the bank, it's not just too big to fail.

It's too big to fail. It's too big to jail. And it turned out that they found that in Mexico, not only were they laundering money for the Sinaloa cartel, that's the one that was being run by El Chapo, but they'd set up a window specifically for the Sinaloa cartel because, you know, they had such a large volume of cash. They needed to have their own separate window. So didn't tie everybody up, constantly counting the cash. That's how insane all this stuff was. Well, after they were convicted the first time, part of the condition was, well, you got to make a good faith effort to not do this again. So what they did, and this is what Everett Stern talked about as a whistleblower, he was

hired along with a lot of other people, paid very well, people who had no background in computers or law enforcement, and they hired them for that reason. They wanted them just as window dressing. They wanted them to do nothing and not look very closely, but Everett Stern took it seriously. And he realized that their database of terms that they were supposed to search and flag for these people then to take a closer look at individually, their database had been corrupted with things like additional spaces or a period in between words or something like that. So if they were looking for particular names or organizations or cities or anything like that, they went in the database and they deliberately changed it in a very subtle way so that it wouldn't be seen by somebody looking at it casually. And so he became a whistleblower about that, Everett Stern.

I interviewed him multiple times. So this is the bank that is at the epicenter of this. Now, understand that HSBC is prominent. At LiveScoreBet, we love Cheltenham just as much as we love football. The excitement, the roar, and the chance to reward you. That's why every day of the festival, we're giving new members money back as a free sports bet up to 10 euro if your horse loses on a selected race.

That's how we celebrate the biggest week in racing. Cheltenham with LiveScore Bet. This is total betting. Sign up by 2pm 14th of March. Bet within 48 hours of race. Main market excluding specials and place bets. Terms apply. Bet responsibly.

18plusgamblingcare.ie In this move to central bank digital currency as well. They're one of the preeminent banks being featured in this test case and in the complete restructuring of our financial system because they're not after drug cartels. They work with them. They're after you. And this is the canary in the coal mine, folks.

It's yet another example. And they come after speech first. Yeah, we see the banks that are flagging with a merchant code, anybody that is a gun store, so they can shut them down. But that's another aspect of this as well. Operation choke point now being implemented. That's what the Obama administration called it. So, and then a week of handing over the information of where they were banking to HSBC, the new bank account was suspended without notice. So we informed the ombudsman that we do not want to give HSBC any additional bank account information. And we would prefer any transfer from HSBC to use a third party such as escrow.

Even a bag of cash would do. Perhaps they have a window like they did for the Sinaloa cartel where the people at BitChute could go and get their money out. I'm sure it's not as much as they were handling with the Sinaloa cartel by a long shot. So they said that happened 19 days ago and we've still not been able to get our money from that bank even though we have informed them that we need it urgently to pay bills. Now they, as the saying goes, they don't need it, but their bill collectors want it really badly. It's not clear for what reason they're keeping it. They don't have to give a reason. Now, nearly at the end of 2022, HSBC has now held our money for almost two years. BitChute is a politically neutral company that has a diverse community and interests and backgrounds.

We require that users only upload legal content that complies with our terms and community guidelines. BitChute is pro-freedom of expression. They see it as a universal human right. Well, again, this is what happens to sites that really do support free speech. Even free speech that I hate. Even free speech that is hateful, that hates me, hates Jews, hates whoever they're political, really hateful free speech. They support that because you don't have free speech

if you only have speech that you approve of. So this is a much bigger story than Twitter, frankly. And this is a much bigger story than SBF. We've had big fraud cases. We've had political corruption. That's what FTX is about and SBF. Just another little grifting crook who was given the keys to the kingdom because he bought off a bunch of politicians.

You have an amazing return on investment if you buy a politician. And if you want to know why we got billions of dollars being spent on election in an off year for a presidential campaign, if you want to know why it's gone up by more than a factor of 10 for presidential races in 20 years, the amount of money there? Well, it's because if you want to succeed, how to succeed in business without really trying, well, you just give a lot of cash to people in Washington. And it's amazing how little you actually have to know or do.

So you buy a politician and they will clear the way for you. They will use you to launder money for their political purposes and many other things. But you can also, if you're a billionaire like Bill Gates, you can go in, or even Elon Musk, you can go in and take advantage of the government to shut down your competition while you're building a new product line. As a matter of fact, you can get them to shut down something that has been around for decades or centuries. You can get them to shut down farms if you want, right?

No more dairy farms. Um, if you pay the right people, enough. And then you can sell people your lab food. You can shut down your competition no matter how well it works, no matter how long it's been in existence. You can shut them down and make everybody buy your new thing. But they'll put you in the cap. So that's part of that. But this is going to be directed to us.

That's why I start to show with this today. I think this is far more important than FTX. It's more important than Twitter, any of this stuff that is happening. Because it's both free speech and our freedom that is under attack with cbdc and that's where this is headed the idea that people or companies it says bit shoot can be excluded from the monetary system and have their assets frozen over an opinion or over lawful actions is despicable but that is the basis folks for, for what CBDC is about. That's what our governments are working so hard to create, this system. This discrimination must be wholeheartedly rejected if

we were to keep free and open societies. Yeah, the weaponized banking system is a bigger story than social media. We all knew that Twitter was dishonest. We knew that it was political. We knew it was manipulating opinion, manipulating elections. But a lot of people don't know about this. And quite frankly, I think this is a much bigger story than any of these other stories. And in a sense, you were able to get

uh some attention with paypal because it went after the daily skeptic we need to make this clear now you know paypal pulled back for a couple weeks and then and pretended they didn't know about this new regulation was going to confiscate 2500 from people you know? And then they came right back in. And, of course, they shut down Daily Skeptic, and Daily Skeptic got the attention. I was shut down a year and a half before that.

I didn't have anybody in Congress talking about that. They were able to contact people in Parliament, and, you know, they got their account restored on PayPal. Mine is still gone. Uh, so Brian at a vaccine impact, uh, health impact news is a home site, but he's got these other,

uh, alias sites there. He says his regular readers. No, he covered this story as well. A health impact news is committed to publishing the truth and exposing evil wherever the path leads. As I own 100% of health impact news network with no debt, no investors.

I also do not derive any personal income from health impact news as my income comes from my online store, healthy traditions. Um, he says we can publish anything we want and we can afford to lose readers who are offended by the truth. Well, that's good. I mean, I don't, you know, we sell a little bit of merchandise, but that doesn't, that's a small thing. We just recently started doing that. I don't sell products, really.

You know, this broadcast is funded by donations, by subscriptions. Um, and, um, you know, we have, uh, some ads that are placed on the podcast. Um, and, um, you know, and the reason I've done that is because, um, I don't want to be dependent on any sponsors. They're very fickle. They can be weaponized against you. And it's also, you've got to find products that you believe, that you use, that you think are not going to be defrauding people or hurting people. That can be difficult as well. Tony has worked with us with DavidKnight.Gold because I believe in gold and I believe in Tony. I trust both of them.

Tony is good as gold and gold is as believe in gold and I believe in Tony. I trust both of them. Tony is good as gold and, uh, and gold is as good as gold. So I do some of that, but you know, primarily it's donations. Uh, and, uh, so, uh, you know, and I'm not, um, I'm not worried if I offend people with the truth as he says, um, you know, we've had a lot of people who stopped reading because they're offended by what we have to say. He said, uh, since 2020, he said, uh, we've had people who have been offended readers who have been offended by the truth. He said, we can afford to lose them. Um, I can afford to lose them as well. I mean, quite frankly, you know, my sole, uh, source of income when I was at InfoWars was that salary. I don't care.

Frankly, I've gotten to the point now I'm old enough and I'm angry enough about what's happening. I simply don't care. I trust God to provide for us whatever we need, and that's the big issue. So as he points out, vaccine impact doesn't support either political party in the U.S., therefore we expose evil from both the right and the left. This has led many on the right, especially Trump supporters, to attack us and to stop reading our articles. But, you know, I'm glad that he does that, and we agree pretty much on everything.

I won't say that I agree with anybody 100%, but we see things pretty much the same way because we're really not worried about how it's taken. So he said a lot of video platforms that claim to promote free speech, he said, really only made right-wing free speech. He said we had to mostly stop publishing on Rumble. We still publish on Rumble, but we don't get much engagement there.

At LiveScoreBet, we love Cheltenham just as much as we love football. The excitement, the roar, and the chance to reward you.

Rumble has also deleted some of our videos with no warning and no explanations. I've not had that happen yet to my knowledge. I mean, I don't go back and look and say, are they still there or not? Maybe they have it. I don't realize it. Um, he says, I don't call that pro free speech,

especially when your enemies and critics can come in and hijack your content and you have no way to ban them or to turn off comments. He said, we like BitChute, mainly because we can turn off comments to silence the trolls, mostly from the right. I would say that's exactly, I guess if you call Hitler lovers right wing, I don't know. We left Gab for several reasons

on most of these alternative pro-free speech platforms, quote unquote. It's just assumed that you support Trump and the MAGA cult, as he calls them, doesn't call them a cult. He calls them talking heads. I just call them a cult. That's what they are. But we do not.

So, you know, that type of thing happens. But yeah, we just, I think it is very concerning to see this attack happening. The attack hits bit shoot, and I hope we can get some attention for it because it deserves to be understood what is happening. There's a lot of attention that was paid to the gun stores that had their accounts declined. And we need to get this story out there. People need to understand we're on the cusp of CBDC. And this is going to happen to everybody once that gets put in there.

It's going to be, we've got to stop CBDC. Igor, thank you very much for the tip. Says, love your show on Rockfan. Angry Tiger, thank you very much for the tip says love your show on rock fan uh angry tiger thank you as well he says uh david you're on target uh setl and brit are financial software companies working closely with the fed and european federal reserve and european central banks and governments around the world this insidious projectile is in the chute and pointed at us all. Yes, exactly right. It is the key thing for slavery. This is why the state bank in Tennessee is so important.

And right now it's kind of a gleam in the eye of Senator Frank Nicely and one or two other people in Tennessee. That's something that we have to work on. And let me just stay on the financial thing here for a second here. A petroyuan, that's a Chinese CBDC, if you will, this is from Coindesk. They said a petroyuan could further shake the dollar's dominance. And again, it doesn't necessarily have to be a CBDC, but we have the petrodollar. So this would be the petroyuan.

And what they're saying is that the Saudis and the Chinese are talking more and more all the time. Part of that is because China has now become the biggest customer of the Saudis. We have decreased our purchases of foreign oil. Biden is starting to reverse that now. But China and Saudi Arabia have accelerated the talks to price oil contracts in the Chinese currency rather than in the U.S. dollar. And let me just say, you know, this is a big issue and it underscores something else. The reality that real energy is coming from what they call fossil fuels. At the same time, they tell us that fossil fuels

themselves are going to go extinct. The reality is, is that that's the thing that works right now. They don't have anything lined up that even comes remotely close to replacing them, as we're seeing. As people have shut this down and invoked austerity and suffering on their own citizens, we see that the real solution is oil, coal, these types of things. And the Chinese are embracing it because the Chinese are not suicidal, as the Europeans and the Americans and the Western civilization has become. The Chinese government, as much as it hates its citizens, wants power and wants growth. But we have governments that not only hate their citizens like the Chinese dictators do, but we have governments that are suicidal as well.

They're on a mission to shut down Western civilization and impoverish and enslave us all. This is the practical fuel and remains that. That's why this is a big issue. Which currency is going to be used to price oil in? It was back in the mid-20th century that they talked about instead of having a currency by one country like the U.S. or whatever as a reserve currency, to just go straight to energy and just price everything in terms of a barrel of oil.

That was so fundamental to society. And it is so fundamental to society that if you link a currency to it, as we've done with the dollar, then that gives us the ability to suspend reality. The reality is the oil. The dollar is what is fake. Crucially, the Petro-Yuan talks are not triggered by events in Ukraine. They've been ongoing for six years, and they've been accelerated not by Russia's invasion, but by the U.S.'s Middle East policy in recent months.

Because we've got that reserve dollar, we're using it as a weapon. U.S. support for regional political agendas of OPEC nations was key to the arrangement that standardized the dollar pricing of oil in the 1970s. That was Bretton Woods II. The U.S. is also consuming only one quarter as much Middle Eastern oil as it was when that petrodollar system was established. While Chinese imports have grown in many respects,

that's good because Saudi Arabia is brutally repressive. It's a monarchy. It's at war with Yemen, and we're at war with them as well. Perhaps what they should do is just tie the dollar to weapons if they don't want to tie it to oil, right? We could have murder money. Maybe we've got pretty much a monopoly on the military industrial complex and weapons.

We could have murder money. We'll base everything on U.S. military weapons. How about that? Sale of military weapons. The dollar denomination of OPEC oil sales plays a huge role in unifying global markets around a common currency. If the U.S. itself has looser ties to OPEC, both this powerful dollar trade node and the broader dollar network will almost inevitably begin to splinter and unravel. And so that is one of the reasons why, as they look at the petrodollar and they're trying to kill oil, they have to go to something else where they can maintain their hegemony. That's why they're looking at the CBDC dollar and hoping that that is going to become the common currency, the world CBDC. The news follows unprecedented sanctions against Russia

and the seizure of U.S.-held central bank funds from Taliban-controlled Afghanistan. These measures are a clear warning to other dissenters or other rivals, to the U.S.-Europe power nexus, that they can't rely on the good faith of Western banking authorities. And what is happening to BitChute is a message to everybody that you can't rely on the banks either. It is weaponized, politically weaponized, especially against free speech. There was an excellent issue, before we take a break,

I want to keep going on the money thing, from the Mises Institute. The barbarous relic, that's what John Maynard Keynes, court jester to generations of politicians, came up with this joke that the debt doesn't matter. And now they put that on steroids with MMT. But he was the one who said, well, you know, we got real economics, microeconomics, where things matter, but then we have macroeconomics. And if it gets really big, you know, it doesn't really matter. You know, you got a giant boulder. Well, it starts to float at some point when it reaches, that's not the way the world reaches,

it works, but you know, that's the idea. It's just money that we owe to ourselves or money that we owe to the Chinese is what the reality is now. So anyway, the Mises Institute says one of history's greatest ironies is that the gold detractors referred to the metal as the barbarous relic. In fact, the abandonment of gold has put civilization as we know it at a risk of extinction. I was listening. We were in the car. Again, we've got a thing in our car that we've got to get fixed so that we can listen to our own music. And I've just got to get the time to go find a fuse and replace it,

our 12-volt thing. But so we're listening, searching around for something to listen to. Couldn't find any music we liked anywhere. And so put on NPR. And Terry Gross is doing a book interview with an author, a book that just came out. And at first I thought it was very interesting because he was talking about what happened a year or two

before the U.S. got into World War I and a year or two after it. So he had that timeframe there and there was a lot of authoritarian moves, censorship, massive amounts of censorship. I've talked to many times, although they didn't talk about the particular, the case of the movie producer who, uh,

because, uh, Woodrow Wilson wanted to get us into World War I, he did a movie. He had done the set design and things like that that were pretty remarkable for... At LiveScoreBet, we love Cheltenham just as much as we love football. The excitement, the roar, and the chance to reward you.

Griffith. He had done the parts of it that really look amazing today. It's the thing about the birth of the Ku Klux Klan or whatever, so it's hated.

But it was the first feature-length film. And he recreated scenes like the assassination of Lincoln or the surrender of Appomattox or just amazing. I mean, it looked like somebody had animated the photographs. Well, this guy who was the director decided that he would, he would take his skills and do a movie himself about the American revolution.

You know, the previous fourth turning and, uh, he called it the spirit of 76. And in it, of know, the previous fourth turning. And he called it the spirit of 76. And in it, of course, the British were the bad guys. Woodrow Wilson didn't like that because he wanted us in the war, World War I, with the British. And so his censors told him to, you know, cut out a lot of scenes. And he refused.

That was when it premiered in chicago um he didn't like that he took the uh film to la and showed it again without the censorship and uh they put him in jail uh they sentenced him to 10 years and a massive fine uh i think it was something like ten thousand dollars but that was you know the the dollar is only worth about one percent of what it was something like $10,000, but that was, you know, the dollar's only worth about 1% of what it was then. So it was a massive fine, a massive jail term. He appealed it all the way to the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court said there is no First Amendment that applies to movies. And that stood until the mid-1950s. But at the same time, you had the rise of J. Edgar Hoover and the Palmer Raids, and that was what got my attention when I started listening to it. I'm familiar with the Palmer Raids. Palmer

was the attorney general at the time. He was trying to position himself as a law and order candidate. There were a lot of anarchists and communists that had come into the country, and they were building that up to be an even bigger problem than it was at the time, so that he could build a name for himself. He did not run for president successfully, of course, but J. Edgar Hoover turned it into the FBI. He was one who was running the Palmer raids, making a big display of all this stuff, and that was his ticket to power. There were a lot of things that were happening there.

And of course, you know, the, just before, uh, the, uh, world war one began and that type of thing, you had massive moves done by all the banks in terms of gold that made that possible. And so this article by George Ford Smith at the Mises Institute gets into that. He said, The gold standard that had served Western economies so brilliantly throughout most of the 19th century hit a brick wall in 1914 and was never able to recover. So the story goes.

As the Great War began, Europe turned from prosperity to destruction, or more precisely, towards prosperity for some and destruction for the rest. The gold coin standard had to be ditched for such a prodigious undertaking. If gold was money and wars cost money, how is this even possible? Well, he said, first of all, people were already in the habit of using money substitutes instead of money itself. Bank notes instead of gold coins that they represented. People found it more convenient to carry paper around in their pockets than gold coins,

and over time the paper itself came to be regarded as money, while gold became a clunky inconvenience from the old days. And you see how important this is for today. As crypto has been out there in a lot of different forms, Bitcoin first and a lot of other ones. The idea, and this has always been one of my concerns, that crypto was a setup. That it was kind of an Overton window type thing, getting people accustomed to it so that you could then move them over into a CBDC. And there may be certainly, if that wasn't its intention, that is the way that they're going to use it. Get comfortable using paper money,

and then all of a sudden we take away the gold, get comfortable using crypto. And all of a sudden they take away the Bitcoin. And now you've got CBDC. He said, secondly, banks had been in the habit of issuing more bank notes and deposits than the value of the gold and their vaults on occasion. This would arouse public suspicion that the notes or promises that the bank

could not keep. And I've shown you, you know, when I talked about the creation of the federal reserve in 1913, same year, they created the income tax, 1913, the two of them go hand in glove, two sides of the same coin, really. Um, but, uh, when I did, it's a wonderful lie. That was the first thing that had been censored on YouTube that came out of Infowars.

That was about the federal reserve. It was about the creation of the federal reserve. I showed a few little clips, uh, and a lot of commentary. Uh, the little clips were from it's a wonderful life. The bank runs that were orchestrated by Mr.

Potter, who was clearly a reference to JP Morgan. Uh, many people see that, uh, he was as clearly a reference to JP Morgan as a little Monopoly cartoon character is on the board game. But,

um, that was, um, taken down by YouTube. They said on the basis of copyright. And yet the, uh, the, the couple of clips that I used under fair use, you're allowed to do that. I mean, look at how many clips are up on YouTube

all the time, right? Uh, people use it for commentary. People will put up three or four minute clips. I didn't have anything that, that was, that was that long, but what did I get those clips? I got them from the entire movie that had been up about a decade and had over a million views at that point in time. That was before YouTube was charging people to watch entire movies. So that was nonsense. And it was several years before they, it was about another five years before they censored Infowars on YouTube.

It was the federal reserve. They don't want you talking about. And you notice how quiet everything has been about CBDC. And it was the Federal Reserve. They don't want you talking about. And you notice how quiet everything has been about CBDC. And it was the bank runs that JP Morgan and others used to help to institute and make a case for the Federal Reserve. Since the courts ruled that deposits belonged to the banks, bankers could not be accused of embezzlement. So the occasional bank runs that erupted were interpreted as a self-fulfilling prophecy. If people lined up to withdraw their money because they believe their bank was insolvent, the bank would soon be insolvent. People had no idea their

banks were loaning out most of their deposits. They didn't know fractional reserve banking, a form of counterfeiting was the norm. That's why George Bailey has to work so hard. You see this money here? Well, here's how the fractional bank system works. I loaned it out over here to him to buy a house and all the rest of this stuff, right? He had to try to educate his customers there in the town

as that bank run was happening on him. Gold coin redemption requirements put limits on fractional reserve banking. Such limits were not welcomed by the banks. Since banks could loan to the government, limitations also capped government spending. So the government didn't like limitations on gold coin redemption either. In his 1949 book, Economics and the Public Welfare, economist Benjamin Anderson tells us the war in 1914 came as a great shock,

not only to the masses of the American people, but also to most well-informed Americans, and for that matter, to most Europeans. And yet, Germany, Russia, and France had begun accumulating gold prior to the war, with Germany starting first in 1912. Does that sound like something's happening right now? We have seen massive accumulations by the central banks of gold over the last couple of years.

As a matter of fact, just this year, the Chinese bank, somebody said, well, there's a gold whale out there. They just bought 300 tons of gold. Who is that? Well, eventually China said, well, there's a gold whale out there that just bought 300 tons of gold. Who is that? Well, eventually China said, oh, that was us. Gold was taken out of the hands of the people, carried to the reserves of the Reich Bank, the German central bank, and people were given paper notes to take the place of gold in circulation. When war broke out in 1914, Gary North explains a pre-World War I policy of gold coin redemption was independently, but almost simultaneously revoked by all the European governments. They all then resorted

to monetary inflation, and this was a way to conceal from the public the true cost of war. They imposed an inflation tax, and they could then blame any price hikes on unpatriotic price gouging. Are we seeing that happening today? We see Biden as he's created with sanctions and with shutting down fuel sources and shutting down our own oil and things like that. As he's created that situation, he accuses everyone else of price gouging. You see it with Newsom. Newsom in California, where they have a special custom blend that only a few refineries even want to bother messing with. That, along with his confiscatory taxes taxes are responsible for California being far and away the most expensive place for gas,

even over number two, Oregon, which only has high gas taxes. California has got high gas taxes and a custom blend. And yet Newsome is heavily coming after all companies blaming them for the price hikes. We're going to take a quick break, and we're going to come back and continue with this. As a matter of fact, yeah, play the Newsom clip before we go to break. But before we do, I just want to say thanks to Harps in Australia. Thank you very much.

He says, keep sending the truth, David and family. We love what you do. Well, thank you. Appreciate your support. And Richard Fife, thank you very much. He says, spot on. I failed to let you know on Monday that after unplugging from TV news matrix, we started a subscribe star subscription to you and a couple of others. Well, thank you very much. Um, if you can afford it, uh, he says

to others, uh, get on board. Thank you again. And God bless. By the way, I'll say that subscribe star. Um, I had, um, uh, I've not been good lately in terms of looking at the messages there and responding to people. And I know that one faithful listener and supporter for the love of the road, he's a trucker. And I realized that I hadn't been on there for a while because he sent me an email. He used to always comment on subscribe star. And, um, and he said, uh, you know, it'd be nice if we could get some of the Christmas songs and, um, uh, and if we could, uh, you know, so we could put them on our own playlist or something like that.

So I thought, yeah, that's true. And so I decided I would do that for the subscribe star people because I've done so little for them and interact with them. Every day we post up the links to the films and stuff like that. If they're on the email list, they get that. But for the people on Subscribestar, I started uploading one a day, kind of like an advent type of thing, from yesterday until the 23rd. If I get more, I'll do more, but I upload one audio file that they can download and one video file. We'll put them up other places so people can get them, but it's easier to download it from

Subscribestar. So the Subscribestar people can download uh whatever they wish there so i really do appreciate that um and uh i've got this message from my son who says mom says to push the shirts mugs and other merchandise before christmas because the uh this uh week is the last by now try to get your orders in by friday because otherwise you may not get it in time if you wanted to do it for Christmas. But go ahead and play Newsome, and then we're going to take a quick break, and we'll come back and we'll talk about what happened with gold at that seminal time about 100 years ago, about 110 years ago. We'll be right back.

Big oil is ripping you off, $63 billion, $63 billion in profit, just over a 90-day period. This price gouging has to stop, and that's 90 day period this price gouging has to stop and that's why we introduced a price gouging penalty here in the state of california it's time to hold big oil at live score bet we love cheltenham just as much as we love football the excitement the roar and the chance to reward you that's why every day of the festival we're giving new members money back as a free sports bet up to 10 euro if your horse loses on a selected race.

This is The David Knight Show. Well, to continue with what I was saying, his point was that since they had accountability before they completely went off the gold standard, he said they had a choice. They could have their long bloody war or they could have the gold coin standard. So they chose to have a long bloody war and get off the gold.

As he says, it was not J.P. Morgan, Woodrow Wilson, Edward Mandel House, or Benjamin Strong who would be fighting in the trenches. And yet what they told us was that it was getting off the gold standard that was a prerequisite for global peace. They always tell you the exact opposite of the truth, don't they? John Maynard Keynes, who coined the term barbarous relic, wrote about the world that was lost when gold was abandoned. And the amazing thing about this is to listen to him describe

what life was like before they got off the gold standard. He said, what an extraordinary episode in the economic progress of man that age was that came to an end in August of 1914 with the beginning of the war. The inhabitant of London could order by telephone. This is 1914, previous to 1914. Somebody living in London could order by telephone,

sipping his morning tea in bed, the various products of the whole earth in such a quantity as he might see fit and reasonably expect their early delivery soon upon his doorstep. He could secure forthwith, if he wished it, cheap and comfortable means of transit to any country or climate without passport. Think about how much we've lost compared to what was available to people in the 19th century. He could dispatch his servant to the neighboring office of a bank for such supply of precious metals as might seem convenient, and he could then proceed abroad to foreign quarters without knowledge of their religion, language, or customs bearing coins, uh,

coined wealth upon his person and would consider himself greatly aggrieved and much surprised at the least interference. But most important of all, he regarded this state of affairs as normal, certain, and permanent, except in the direction of further improvement and any deviation from it, as normal, certain, and permanent, except in the direction of further improvement.

And any deviation from it, he regarded as aberrant, scandalous, and avoidable. So the Mises article, they said, if Keynes had only read what he wrote, he might have been a better economist, and we might be living in a better world today. That's absolutely true. If you stop and think about it. I mean, even my first travel abroad was with a musical group in 1973. And, um, we had to have a passport. We had to have some vaccines to get that passport,

nothing at all like what you have to have today to travel, of course. Uh, and then when you went from country to country, because it was all paper money, you had to go through this nuisance of changing the money and so forth. But he said, hey, you could just go down and get some gold, and that was good to spend anywhere. You didn't need a passport. You could go anywhere. It was almost like it was a free zone.

So when we look at this, and I'll just mention again, by the way, davidknight.gold will take you to tonyarderman'swisewolf.gold. He pointed out to me, he'll be on the show tomorrow and tell you more about it, but he's got a thing called Wolfpack where you can set up an amount that you buy, a small amount that you buy each month. He's got specials with it and that type of thing it grew so fast that they needed to change the structure of the website which meant that they had to completely rebuild it and so you need to re-sign up he sent out text messages and emails to people but he wanted to explain to people and uh tell them what is happening uh but you'll need to re-sign up uh onto wolfpack on the financial side because they don't have that information that's kept by PayPal or whoever.

Uh, so the question is, as, uh, this one article asks is, um, Bitcoin money, uh, or, you know, how does it compete with gold? And to summarize a long article here, what he's saying is that to be a realistic form of money, it's got to be based on either the ability of Bitcoin to work alongside a fiat currency system or in the event of a total breakdown of the monetary system, that the monetary system could be replaced by Bitcoin. Supporters seem to think that they have established international legal definitions, that long-established international legal definitions of money can be ignored.

But he says, where this is a particular problem is in the different property rights that are accorded to money and to currency. In criminal law, if a painting is stolen from you and you manage to trace it to a new owner, you can reclaim it as your property even if the current possessor acquired it in good faith. This is what allows Jewish families to recover artwork that was stolen from them in the Second World War. If, however, somebody steals money, currency, or access to your bank account and transfers your property to them and another party, as long as they were not acting in concert with criminals,

you cannot reclaim this form of property. He says, so when we consider case of Bitcoin, it does not appear to fall into the category of money. Through the blockchain, the trail of previous owners is recorded, even pseudonymously. So the property rights can be established, even if you move them into your own wallet and they don't know who the wallet belongs to,

they can eventually make the connection. The know your customer rules, uh, and my anti money laundering regulations, uh, that would have been completed by you before you open an account and exchange would allow them to eventually trace it back to you. It might not be beyond the bounds of possibility for a state to use this criminal law

to attack Bitcoin as a rival to its own currency. I think it's going to come primarily through the climate MacGuffin. You're using too much energy. We've got to shut you down or the world's everything's going to die on earth. And so we're going to just, because of that, we've got to shut down crypto.

That's the way it's going to come. In addition to ignoring, cause they don't have to do proof of work. Yeah. They can just pass the messages along and, um, you know, they don't have to,

the proof of work concept that uses all the energy and the Bitcoin mining is the key thing to making it not just a fiat currency. And so by making you go to a CBDC, they can say, well, there's no energy cost associated with CBDC, but look at all the energy costs associated with Bitcoin or any other cryptocurrency. But he also points out that currency is really kind of a misnomer. He says that, you know, currency is something that is kind of a second level indirect of something that is actually storing value. And he says, since the Bitcoin stores value, that's not literally a currency. He says, since the 1980s, China has embarked on a policy of secretly acquiring unknown quantities of bullion, none of which is permitted to leave the nation's territory. When it was decided that the state and various accounts had accumulated of bullion, none of which is permitted to leave the nation's territory. When it was decided that the state and various accounts had accumulated sufficient

bullion, they set up the Shanghai Gold Exchange and encouraged their own citizens, previously banned from gold ownership, to accumulate large quantities. You have these paper gold accounts, like GLD. I used to have that in my IRA. And then I realized it's, wait a minute, this is a Shanghai gold exchange. And this thing is a derivative and we don't know if they've got any gold there or not. It's like, well, okay, I take it out of there. I've, I basically put my IRA into my house at this point. Uh, but, um, you know, it is, uh, when you look at what's going to happen with inflation, he said the day Bretton Woods' gold peg was finally abandoned in 1971, the dollar price of gold was $43.

That was when they made the transition to the petrodollar. Between 1971 and 72, the Fed funds rate had varied between 3.3 and 5.5%. By the end of the decade, January the 21st, 1980, the PM fixed gold was priced at $850, an increase of nearly 19 times. At that time, the Fed funds rate was 14%, forced higher by the markets in accordance with the time preference theory. Volcker, chair of the Fed, subsequently increased the funds rate to 17.5% by April, then to 19% in January of 1991 to kill inflation. At that rate, the Fed's dollar was

yielding more than warranted by time preference, which in effect was Volcker's policy objective. At LiveScoreBet, we love Cheltenham just as much as we love football.

Today, that does not seem to be the case. And so it begs the question, will 2023 see a return to time preference considerations for the relationship between gold and fiat currency values? And how will Bitcoin's price behave in these circumstances? So again, he talks about whether or not gold will go up, whether or not inflation will go up. It depends on how they look at inflation. I don't look at gold as a speculative investment. That's one of the things he says, you know, that Bitcoin, of course, is not being used as money. It's being used as a speculative investment. The reality is, is that gold is money. Gold has always been money and they're about to make money illegal, not necessarily gold, but they're going to, to, um, institute CBDC, which is not money. It is a fraud.

Uh, let's move on to some other things because I know that economics can get very dreary and try your patience. Let's talk about killer robots. You know, I had the story last week about how San Francisco Police Department wanted to give their robots, which they've had for a number of years,

some for good reasons. In a dangerous situation, they could use them for surveillance, for communication, to drive this thing up so you don't have to put anybody's lives in danger, or use them to dispose of bombs. Both of those are legitimate uses for some kind of a remote-controlled robot. But they wanted to go the next step, and they wanted to give the robots the ability to use lethal force against people. And there was a massive pushback after this went public. And it went public because, as of last year,

any policy changes that are made by the police departments that would involve militarized weapons and the use of them, are now highly transparent. We're getting into the situation that we're into right now because we have so much stuff that the government is doing that they hide from us. They hide everything from us. And so people are concerned about the militarization of the police, and you should be concerned about that, said, well, we need to have transparency, at least in this area.

And so the late 2021, the new law required the police departments to not only give public notice, but to get public approval first. Isn't that interesting? We finally had something good come out of California. And if we waited long enough, decades or whatever, something good would come out of California from a legal and political standpoint. Law enforcement agencies have to develop a detailed military equipment use policy, and they have to present it in an open meeting before they can obtain military equipment use policy and they have to present it in an open meeting before they can obtain military equipment.

And then after the public meeting, the local governing body can either approve or deny that acquisition. Law enforcement agencies must also get local government approval to continue using existing military equipment and approval for any change to the existing use policy. You know, all of this stuff about SWAT teams and militarization of the police and everything that all began in LA with Daryl Gates when he was police chief

there. Uh, it was, um, and, and that metastasized to the rest of the country. Uh, And that metastasized to the rest of the country. It escalated when Obama started giving a lot of surplus military equipment that wasn't needed to police departments, including small rural police departments, taking it away from small rural fire departments that really needed it and had used it and had been getting it ever since World War II. That was quickly reversed when the rural fire departments complained about it to senators,

and they got that reversed. But still, that whole thing we went through with a massive deployment of mine-resistant armored personnel carriers, the MRAPs and stuff like that being put in small police forces. But Daryl Gates was the one who started all that. Daryl Gates was the one who created SWAT teams, really. And what did they do when they had the Rodney King riots, which happened because of the footage of police beating Rodney King on the ground,

regardless of what had happened before that. It was what was happening at that point that got kicked off these riots. Well, for whatever reason, after the riots kicked off, Daryl Gates did not use the militarized equipment to restore order. Instead, what they did was they circled the wagons around the police department and city hall to protect them and let everybody else fend for themselves.

And so it's places where store owners, notably a lot of Asian store owners, got their own weapons and guarded their own stores. And we saw that happen again with riots that happened in the wake of some of these other high-profile cases. Anyway, news that the city had authorized killer robots set off a firestorm of opposition. The backlash was so strong that the board quickly reversed the decision yesterday. They had voted 8-3 to allow the police to have killer robots and to use lethal force against people using the robots. But then there was so much pushback, the board voted again, and they voted unanimously to explicitly ban the use of robots in such a fashion.

So they went from 8 to 3, 4 using killer robots to 0 to 11 opposing the use of killer robots. Look, this is why if we don't go quietly into slavery, we can stop this stuff. If we would stand up as a group and say no, and this is the thing that got me so upset about the Trump cult in 2020 after the election. It's like, wait a minute, why didn't you stand up instead of, you know, going to Washington on January the 6th? Why didn't you protest this stuff and even protest Trump over the lockdowns and the destruction of Main Street and the middle class that he was funding and continued to fund. So the battle is not over.

The board sent the issue back to the Rules Committee for further review and public comment because the price of liberty is eternal vigilance, folks. But still, at this point, the public has been awakened to this one issue. One issue. And they should do something about that. Now, understand, though, that it's not just killer robots that are bad. It's also bad when you have cops, human cops, who kill like killer robots. And we have had such a situation in Jacksonville.

It just was released, a video, and I'll show this to you, it's about a minute long. This was nothing other than an execution. It happened back in April, but they just released the body camera footage. On the day that he was executed with a bullet to the head, Kevin Mahan had committed no crime. He was merely standing in the woods holding a hatchet, an act that millions of folks participate or partake in every weekend while camping. Unfortunately for Mahan, a Jacksonville sheriff's deputy was called to his location that day, and instead of being left alone, the deputy executed him. Here is the body camera footage of He's walking across a field.

And there's nobody around. Is that him? I mean, there's nobody else in there. He's not threatening it. There's nobody else even there. Put the axe down! Put the axe down! Put the axe down! Put the axe down!

Look at that. Cold-blooded murder. 10-33, shots fired. I understand they're getting started in 226. Kill if you burn on additional 147, awesome. Start me a rescue for a whiskey mike yeah well anyway i'm 77 for now uh no police were shot suspect is down yeah he didn't shoot him with his uh axe he was standing 30 feet away doing nothing now we're safe you know if looks could killed, it would have been us instead of him. But we're all safe.

Suspect is down. We got him. Shot to the head. Well, you know, he's practiced with his gun a lot. I guess he's just dying to use it. All right. Pretty good shot. The deputy who executed Mahan has not been named,

as it is the policy of the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office to no longer identify officers who are involved in shootings. A court ruling granted officers confidentiality under Marcy's Law. Marcy's Law was started to protect the identity of victims of crimes by recognizing their right to privacy. Victims of crimes by recognizing their right to privacy, victims of crimes. Recently, however, unscrupulous police departments have been using it as a shield to protect the identity of killer cops. This, by the way, is from freethoughtproject.com. Many suspects are the aggressor, but Mahan was aggressing against no one And the only aggressive actions taken in his death Were by the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office deputy

Who put a bullet between his eyes According to the police, their deputy confronted Mahan that morning After receiving a call about a mentally ill man There was no report of a crime And though the Sheriff's Office released Mahan's previous record to smear him on the day he was killed, he had committed no crime. This is one of the reasons why, folks, all this red flag gun law stuff, you know, where President Trump says, you know, got to take the gun and do the due process later.

You send people out, you report this is an individual who is dangerous and who's armed, maybe, you know, armed with a gun, not with a hatchet. And we've already had people who've been killed under those circumstances. Take the life, do the PR cover-up later. That's what it amounts to. So, again, he was 30 feet away, and the guy standing there standing there i mean he didn't even make any gestures threatening him from 30 feet away with an axe imagine the audacity it takes says freethought project to claim victim status after putting a

bullet in a man's head 30 feet away for holding a tool in the woods, in the woods, chopping branches down in the woods. And he could see that he was chopping stuff down. He could see the stuff they'd chopped down on the ground in front of him. Anybody can make any kind of accusation against you. You can get accused of being a dangerous person. It needs to be red flagged. They can say that you've got a gun, even though you don't have a gun. And the police can show up and they feel justified to shoot first and ask questions later. Well,

actually, they don't ask any questions later. Leaked documents indicate over 300 members of far-right paramilitary oath keepers may be current or former DHS employees. Well, that was the stated purpose of oath keepers. The stated purpose of oath keepers was to have, to stress to law enforcement that the Constitution was paramount, that they were not to follow the government and take unconstitutional orders. Well, I'm just following orders. As you see over and over again throughout the COVID stuff,

it's like, well, you're acting like a criminal. Why are you doing that? I'm just following orders. Well, you're not supposed to do that. You're supposed to follow the Constitution. As a matter of fact, we as a country imprisoned some people and did not find that to be a justification during the Nuremberg trials. Just following orders was not an excuse, and it should not be an excuse.

Of course, we took the people who were the highest up and all of that and brought them over to start our bioweapons programs, biological and chemical weapons programs. We didn't care that experiment on people. We wanted their information and their expertise. But the lower level people who followed the orders of the people that we brought over and put in charge of Fort Detrick and other places, those lower level people who were just following orders, they were executed at Nuremberg or imprisoned. And so you have an obligation to follow the Constitution and other laws and moral ethics that transcend even the Constitution to not do that type of thing. Uh, a woots.

Thank you for the tip. He says all qualified immunities need to be removed. Absolutely. Absolutely. Uh, you, you should never be allowed. As I said, when we talk about war, take it to a local level as an individual, you're not allowed to use lethal force against somebody unless your life is in danger. They're running away from you with your most valuable possession and their possession, and they're running away. You're not allowed to shoot them in the back as they're running away because they're no threat to you.

The police should be no different. So Yahoo sees this as a problem. The fact they had 300 law enforcement officers, current and former, and oath keepers. They said membership list has revealed that potentially hundreds of far-right extremists have infiltrated federal law enforcement. Well, look, if they signed up, and a lot of people did sign up, because Stuart Rhodes made the case that the purpose of the organization was first and foremost to support the Constitution and to refuse to obey unconstitutional orders. But the government doesn't like any organization that talks about limited government. The government doesn't like any soldiers who won't do whatever they're told,

regardless of how unconstitutional it is. If you want to inject that into your body, even though the Constitution says that's a violation of your religious liberty, if you won't do that, we don't want you in the military, because we want people who are going to follow orders, not the Constitution. And so that was what the purpose of Oath Keepers was. Now, unfortunately, Stuart Rhodes did not follow the purpose of Oath Keepers. These people were saying, this is a violent and ideological movement. No, Oath Keepers as originally constituted was not. It was not violent. It was to refuse to get violent with people if it's an unconstitutional order.

And it was about supporting the Constitution. Unfortunately, Stuart Rhodes and these clowns that were there playing soldier on January the 6th did just the opposite. They did not support the Constitution. They supported Trump, and they wanted Trump to overthrow the Constitution. They wanted him to take the medical martial law that he started 1,007 days ago. They wanted him to extend that to a general martial law and stay in office. That was what they were upset about. And rather than obey the constitution, they decided they would take things into their own hands and, uh, you know, get,

uh, they, they didn't have a problem with the constitution being suspended back on March the 13th. That was a problem that I had with it. It was a suspension of the constitution. And I would say, you know, where's Oath Keepers on the, where's, where's the conservative movement? They were so attached to Trump, they lost their mission. Now they've lost their freedom. I mean, you know, Rhodes and one other have been convicted of two charges. The other people were convicted of one.

Both of the charges, each of the charges, up to 20 years in prison. We're going to take a quick break. Before we do, thank you, Derek Quilling. Thank you for the tip. He says, thank you for your hard work. Thank you. And Austin McGee, thank you very much. I appreciate that, Austin.

Thank you. And now, The David Knight Show.

Well, a court has ordered Philadelphia to take Columbus out of the box. You recall that they put a giant cardboard box around a statue of Christopher Columbus that was in the Friends of Marconi Plaza. A lot of Italian people there, they see it as a heritage issue. And a court has now ruled that they take it out. And the Democrat mayor is very upset about this, Jim Kinney. A spokesperson says, we will continue to explore our options for a way forward

that allows Philadelphians to celebrate their heritage and culture while respecting the histories and circumstances of everyone's different backgrounds. But, you know, we'll respect this decision. We don't like it. Wait a minute. You're not respecting everybody's backgrounds and culture, are you? You know, you have one that you hate that you cover up.

The Friends of Marconi Plaza attorney said, I'm delighted that the judges of the Commonwealth Court have boldly reaffirmed that the rule of law still matters, that we are not a society that will be ruled by cancel culture mobs, that all ethnic groups can proudly protect and honor their diverse heritage. Unless, you know, you're Southern, in which case, even in Richmond, they've now removed the last Confederate statue there. And the Confederate statue there.

And the Confederate statues, just general Confederate statues of unnamed soldiers taken down everywhere. It's amazing. Dictionary.com says, word of the year is woman. After they had a 1,400% surge in searches. So I guess, you know, when, uh, Marsha Blackburn asked the Supreme court justice, what is a woman and the, uh, the Supreme court justice who was a nominee at the time couldn't say. So I guess everybody starts, well, if, uh, you know, uh, I guess we've got to look this up. What is a woman? I don't know what a woman is.

It used to be an adult female person, but? I don't know what a woman is. It used to be an adult female person. But now we don't know what female means either. Cambridge Dictionary got backlash after it updated its definition of woman to include anyone who identifies as female. Identifies as female. And they were accused of kowtowing to, let's just call them politically correct, political correctness activists. They're Marxists. Marxists.

Perhaps no word is more relevant for these points than woman. Our work culminates in an important selection of words that defines a year and tells a deeper story. So they said, as we move forward in the next year, we anticipate an ever-evolving discourse over what is a woman. We still have not determined what that is, actually. And then there's also the question is, what is a border? Do we even care about any border other than our own? Oh yeah, we will go to World War III over the Ukrainian border, over the Crimean border, over the Donbass border, but the American border, we don't care. I think it's interesting to show just how simple it is to build a wall. President Trump has not, may I had a comment about what the Arizona governor, Doug Ducey, is doing.

Now, I don't know if this is going to work or not. I always was skeptical of border walls. Because the real issue is whether or not you're offering a magnet to pull people in. And if you've got a big enough magnet, if you're offering people free stuff, if there's an economic reason for them to come in, fine, have a guest worker program. But they don't want to do it that way. They want to do it with a citizenship thing and not even a citizenship thing.

We're going to give you all the rights of citizenship, but you don't have to declare any fealty to the United States, none whatsoever. You don't have to know anything about us. You don't even have to know our language. You just come here and we'll give you the stuff. While you do that, you're going to get people come in one way or the other, regardless of whether you got a border. But if it was going to be about the wall, and I always, like I said, even when he was running,

I said, that's not the issue. The Republicans want cheap labor. The Democrats want voters, and they're doing everything they can to incentivize people coming into this country. Um, they want it. Uh, but Doug Ducey has built a wall out of shipping containers. They just stack these old used shipping containers at the border and welded them together. Look at that.

Uh, it's not exactly the great wall. You could maybe call it the crate wall, I guess. But the U S Mexico border wall is now filled with shipping containers there as they're preparing for an avalanche of illegal immigration. They will come with the end of title 42 as if we didn't have enough illegal immigration already. The welded shipping containers are now more important than ever, as officials with non-governmental organizations who aid border crossers and illegal aliens

are sounding the alarm over an impending avalanche of illegal immigration when the Title 42 border control is lifted in a matter of days. Andy Biggs from Arizona, and this is Breitbart. This has always been Breitbart's number one issue. That's primarily the thing they want to talk about is the border. And it is important, but I don't talk about it a great deal because neither party is going to do anything about it. We can't really do anything about it.

The governor is not going to do anything about it. Congress and the president aren't going to do anything about it. The impotency of all this stuff and the deception of it makes me so angry. I don't even want to talk about the subject. Just when you look at DACA, for example, what is DACA? It's an executive order. It was an executive order by Obama's attorney general saying, I'm not going to enforce the law.

You took an oath to enforce the law. And if you're not going to enforce the law maybe we should do something about that republicans but no they never did anything about i never called them out tried to impeach them for saying just make a declaration i'm not going to enforce the law that's what it meant deferred action for childhood rivals and then the absurdity of all this, the fact that Trump, who campaigned on doing something about it, once he gets into office, he goes, well, that's the law. I can't do anything about it unless the courts tell me I can do something about it.

It's absolute nonsense. You know, he did an executive order that started medical martial law. Presidents can do executive orders. Presidents can undo previous executive orders. That was an executive order, an illegal executive order, by the way, from the previous administration. He didn't need to get approval from the court to enforce the law. He could have said, well, that was an executive order. They said they're not going to enforce the law.

I've got my own executive order and my executive orders to tell. They said they're not going to enforce the law. I've got my own executive order, and my executive order is to tell the attorney general we're going to enforce the law. It's just that simple. When you get to that level of deception, Trump was such a fraud on the border. It was just amazing. Anyway, Andy Biggs is saying they expect 30,000 border crossers and illegal aliens every day now at the border. So, yeah, it's funny. Uh, this picture from Breitbart, as my son pointed out, you can see the end of the wall, uh, right up there.

You know, Trump, I said, Oh, I'll look at how many miles I built. And it's like, yeah, you got like maybe what? 400 miles of wall that is there. A lot of it was already there. He just repaired it. And you got a 1600 mile door. So 7,400 migrants crossed the Mexican border into El Paso just over this last weekend. What is Greg Abbott doing?

You know, Greg Abbott has done photo ops with cop cars and other things like that he had about uh he had less than 10 cop cars that he uh put down at the border near a water crossing as if that was going to stop anything anywhere. It's just ridiculous. Photo ops. He is shipping. And instead of shipping the people back to Mexico, Greg Abbott sends them to New York. I just don't understand what's going on with this. Maybe he can't do that internationally, but still. You can't put them on a plane and send them back to Mexico

or El Salvador or something like that. At LiveScoreBet, we love Cheltenham just as much as we love football. The excitement, the roar, and the chance to reward you.

All right. We have several people have sent me this article. It was originally in Forbes. And it says people who skip their COVID vaccine are at higher risk of traffic accidents. It will never stop, this back and forth, this politicization of the vaccine. Demonization. Vilification. We're now being vilified as scofflaws.

This is based on a study from the American Journal of Medicine. During the summer of 2021, Canadian researchers examined the encrypted government-held records of more than 11 million adults, 16% of whom had not received the COVID vaccine. They found that unvaccinated people were 72% more likely to be involved in a severe traffic crash in which at least one person was transported to the hospital than those who were vaccinated. That's similar to the increased risk of car crashes for people with sleep apnea, though only about a half of the people who abuse alcohol, they said.

So we are worse than people who are falling asleep at the wheel. And a lot of people who have narcolepsy, not sleep apnea, but narcolepsy or catalepsy, those were kids who were damaged by Fauci's previous excursion in the vaccine epidemic, the one that came out in 2009. He did that with Monsef Slaoui when Monsef Slaoui was with another vaccine company before he got to Moderna. And that was, you know, the previous swine flu thing in 2009. They found that kids there were, Scandinavia did honest research because they didn't have the kind of connections that we do to the pharmaceutical. It's 99% effective against car crashes. There you go.

New selling point that my son had new selling point for, uh, the vaccine. We've seen that in commercials pretty soon. Uh, it doesn't work as a, as a vaccine, even with a redefinition of vaccines. Yeah. It used to be, it keeps you from getting something that you're vaccinated for. No, that's not it. It just it produces antibodies.

Oh, OK. That's what that's the new definition of a vaccine. But now they can show that it's finally effective at something reducing crashes. But yeah, that was that was a Scandinavia where they found that. And it's so bad that now these children who are vaccinated with, um, uh, pandemics was, uh, what Fauci and came up with then. Um, they are now in their twenties. Many of them have committed suicide. The narcolepsy is so bad. They can't drive a car.

They can't do it. And that's what made me think about it. But anyway, in this particular one, here's their theory for why that is. Why it's 72% more likely to be involved in a severe traffic crash. This is how they're scouring the earth for some kind of a justification to make the vaccines look good. Forget about the fact of what they do to you directly and their lack of efficacy. They said, so we think this is because these people are scofflaws. Why would they ignore the rules of the road, distrust of the government, belief in freedom?

See, that's your problem. You have more traffic accidents if you don't trust the government and if you believe in freedom. Misconceptions about daily risks, antipathy towards regulation, poverty, misinformation, a lack of resources, personal beliefs or potential reasons proposed by the authors. Maybe the authors just got it wrong. Maybe they just, you know, you can find a study or create a study to make anything look bad or anything look good. Yeah. Don't drive without a vaccine.

If you must drive, at least wear a mask. And we had stories about people in the early days putting masks on, multiple masks sealed up in their car. I've seen pictures. I mean, I've seen pictures. I wanted to take pictures and put them on social media. I saw people, Karen and I would be driving along and we'd look over and we'd see somebody by themselves or maybe a married couple

with the windows up and masks on with each other. It's like, wow. Well, we had a couple of cases where somebody passed out from oxygen deprivation because they wore a mask and had an accident. I'm sure that wasn't a part of their study here. But here's their bottom line. This is put out on Fortune magazine. Their conclusion is this. And like I said, several people sent this to me. One of them is a first responder. First responders should also consider taking special precautions to protect themselves from COVID when responding to traffic crashes,

the authors added, as it's more likely that the driver is unvaccinated than vaccinated. Did they not get the memo that it does nothing to keep, not even the cdc is trying to sell that lie anymore that it protects you from getting covid nobody's trying to except for you know these people who did this so you can dismiss that with um just just as an example of um failed propaganda this is another fear campaign that's going out. Some people send this to me as well. Science Alert. Pay attention. This is the name of the website, sciencealert.com.

Here's the real science. Headline, clickbait headline. Ancient pathogen is an imminent threat, and every part of the world warns the WHO. My son says they should market this as the vaccine is a genetic modification to give you driving superpowers. You'll be 72% less likely to have an accident if you get the vaccine. Here's what I think may be happening with that study. Did they ever consider that maybe the reason they got more unvaccinated people is not because they're scofflaws or they're just out there driving without any regard to anything,

any rules or restrictions, any rules of the road, but maybe it's because they were the only ones out there driving. Everybody else was scared. The vaccinated people are the ones who are the most scared, even after they get vaccinated. They go mask themselves and hide at home. You know that. We all know that.

So they weren't outside doing anything. That's one of the reasons why. Anyway, did they normalize it for the number of accidents that they had? There's no information from that study. Anyway, this is what the World Health Organization is warning about now, an ancient pathogen that's an imminent threat. Is this the other fear campaign that they were doing a few weeks ago where they said, you know, we might uncover as, you know,

they bring two MacGuffins together and they say, as the polar ice caps thaw out, you may uncover long dormant pathogens that have been covered in the ice, uh, for millennia and they could come out and kill everybody. See, that's one of the things of global warming. Uh, it could release these long dormant pathogens, release the Kraken. It's like the thing, you know, what is it? I don't know, but it's weird and it's angry. So it's an imminent threat to every region of the world, says the World Health Organization in November 2022. But this is not, even though this is an ancient pathogen,

it's not an unknown pathogen. You know what they're talking about when they say an ancient pathogen that's an imminent threat? They're talking about measles, measles. And I've criticized Trump for the longest time when he was saying, oh yeah, these people, they're being told that their kids can't go to school, even a private school, even a private religious school, if they don't get measles. And I don't care if they've got religious objections to this or not. You know, remember when he said that? It's really going around.

They got to get it. And, you know, this is, and I said, what's the matter with him? He's older than I am. Everybody my age got measles. We didn't have any vaccine. We all got measles. Our parents took us around when they knew that the kid down the street had measles. Go down and play with Joey.

Let's get this thing over with. The sooner you get this over with, the better. You don't want to get this when you're older. So go ahead and get your lifetime immunity right now. At LiveScoreBet, we love Cheltenham just as much as we love football. The excitement, the roar, and the chance to reward you.

18 plus gamblingcare.ie. And the measles shots don't give lifetime immunity. I covered over and over again stories where patient zero had been injected once or twice against measles. So you had these outbreaks that were in New York. They used another one that was in California. They called it an outbreak. They had a couple of people that get measles.

The one in New York was four people. All of them had been vaccinated. Some of them had been vaccinated twice they had the records for. The others didn't know how many times they'd been vaccinated, but they knew they'd been vaccinated. And they still got it, and they still passed it on to other people who had been vaccinated for measles. And as I said, you know, it was, you could go back and you could say that there's a, it can be potentially dangerous. Anything can be potentially dangerous. So I guess we should eliminate all risk everywhere. We should get rid of all swimming pools and bathtubs.

We should make sure that there's no tile on the floor anywhere in the bathroom. Everything's got to be non-stick and rubberized or something. Severe cases of measles can include encephalitis, brain swelling, blindness, pneumonia. There are approximately 9 million cases a year and 128,000 deaths. It's very, very rare. But they won't say that. Instead, they say. They have to get the shot.

Yeah, they got to get the measles. It's just so important. It's going around. It's really going around now. They have to get their shot. Yeah, what was going around? He was laying the foundation for this narrative. That was what was going around. Look, they the foundation for this narrative. That was what was going around.

Look, they say, well, this is easily preventable. As I pointed out, the measles shots don't prevent measles, and they don't convey any immunity either because we've had the cases where it has surfaced. We didn't have anybody dying in any of those outbreaks in New York or California. None of that happened. So the U S government has been planning to lock down and wait for a vaccine

since 2007 says Will Jones at daily skeptic. Well, he's right about that. They have been doing that since 2007. Actually, they've been doing it since 2001. I'm surprised, you know, for the longest time, I would say this goes back to dark winter 2001. People say, oh, it goes back to event 201 of just a couple of months before all this stuff kicked off.

It's like, yeah, yeah, but they did it on an annual basis. And the first one that they did was 2001, two months before 9-11. Do you see a connection there? And so now this person has gone back. Oh, look, we've discovered that it goes back to 2007. And a pandemic plan that does all this stuff. We're going to lock down and wait for a vaccine. I was telling people that from the very beginning. I said, they have done this

consistently for 20 years. They practice this. And that is the summary of every single one of these. Now, the White House is very upset because Elon Musk is now going after Fauci. And one of the takes on what Elon Musk is doing that somebody came out with, and I think it's spot on, they said, Elon Musk is destroying Trump's campaign. Because, you know, Trump used to be the guy who trolls everybody, right? That was the essence of how he got attention, trolling people. Musk is doing this far more and far more effectively

than trump did so he's kind of stealing his game from him in a sense and so what musk did was he changed his um you know he put put on twitter he says that my pronouns are prosecute fauci and he makes it clear when called out on this that it's about Fauci-funded research. You see what Musk is doing? He's creating this big, same thing that the billionaire Trump did. This billionaire is doing the same thing. Create division, Create this polarization.

Get a massive army of people behind him. Exploit this to the max. This is what the sensational people in alternative media are doing, and it's what CNN and Fox News are doing, the mainstream media as well. It's all about creating division for your own benefit, creating a tribe that is going to follow you around. And that's what Musk is doing. He's getting a big following with this speech thing because he's got some issues with Tesla and some other things in terms of self-driving stuff. So he's going to attack Fauci, but not in the way that Fauci needs to be attacked.

Fauci needs to be attacked over the vaccine and how many people he's killed and crippled with a vaccine, how many tens of billions of dollars he has robbed us of with a vaccine. At LiveScoreBet, we love Cheltenham just as much as we love football. The excitement, the roar, and the chance to reward you.

Bet within 48 hours of race. Main market excluding specials and place bets. Terms apply. Bet responsibly. 18plusgamblingcare.ie. The vaccine is the bioweapon, but just like Rand Paul, Musk is pointing to Wuhan and it is

misdirection. Certainly now, at this point, to say that Fauci has killed tens of millions of people because of the research, that is to say that COVID is real. That is to say that COVID is a threat. That is to misdirect people away from the real killer, the vaccine. And it is reprehensible. I'm telling you that, you know, this Musk guy is bad news. And I'm sure that after Travis did a great cover for one of my videos talking about Musk a couple of days ago,

he put up a picture of Musk, saint or sinner or something like that, right, was the title he used. And it's a picture of Musk on one uh, kind of angelic and innocent looking. And on the other side, it's Musk, uh, wearing his, uh, you know, devil outfit, but also with horns on, I'm sure that's not going to go over too well, uh, on, on, with the, uh, guy who runs Twitter. I'll probably get kicked off altogether. I'll never, there it is right there.

Zoom in on that. There's a bit shoot. There it is right there. Zoom in on that. There's a bit shoot. There's a bit shoot. The thing that, yeah, Elon Musk's Savior or Satan. So that was a great cover, but I'm sure that Elon doesn't like that, especially even worse is if he listens to what I had to say about it. So DeSantis is now petitioning the Florida Supreme Court to impanel a statewide grand jury to investigate the vaccine.

Now, this is a move in the right direction. And as I said before, look, when somebody does the right thing, I will applaud them for that thing. We have to take this stuff issue by issue. I don't know what's going to come out of this. It may, it would be a shrewd political move for DeSantis as he's now jumped 23 points ahead of Trump. And we're told by the pollsters, whether that's true or not, I don't know. Uh, but if he wants to, he seems to me, seems to me to be a lot smarter than a Trump. That's for sure. No question about it. And this would be a way to impanel a grand jury to investigate

the vaccines. This would be a way to finally put the nail in Trump's coffin more than anything else, more than any of these. And the stuff that's being done by Letitia James up in New York and everything, most of that stuff is bogus. People see it as just, you know, politicized prosecutions and persecutions for politics. All this January the 6th committee stuff and everything, it's just, that is just political persecution. It has absolutely no effect on his base except to make him more popular. But when you go back to the vaccines, he couldn't stop talking about the vaccines and promoting the vaccines. So if you want to end Donald Trump, you expose what happened with the vaccines. And that may be all that the grand jury will do.

They may stop short of taking on the pharmaceutical industry, Pfizer, Moderna. They'll probably stop short of all of that, stop short of going after the World Health Organization. All these pandemic rules probably won't go anywhere near that. It'll be a limited hangout. But whatever they do to expose anything about these vaccines will be a good thing, in my opinion. And so I'm glad that DeSantis is doing that. It is a very shrewd political move. Uh, it is the vaccines are,

are, and have been the Achilles heel of Donald Trump with his base. It's amazing to see, as we were talking about it the other day, um, vaccine impact said, uh, you know, look at this, you've got a guy who was a pastor and he was writing things to help people get their religious exemptions left and right. And yet he is this rabid Trump supporter. How could he not see the contradiction in that? So I'm glad that they're going to investigate it. We'll have to see what happens with it. But again, anything about the vaccine needs to be exposed. Sudden deaths are exploding in Germany. Shows new insurance data. Not exploding now, but exploded as the vaccines were rolling out.

We're seeing this from insurance company after insurance company. We see that the insurance industry in general had a very bad year. One America, big insurance company in Indiana talked about it, said this is more than three standard deviations of the mean away from this. This is like a once in a couple hundred year event. They understand statistics. How did this many people die? And how did this start third quarter of 2021 and continue into fourth quarter, just as people are being coerced into taking these vaccines. And now the same thing is coming out of Germany. And we have seen the funeral home, the big funeral home business, the biggest one, big chain, having a record year. And all of this

timed with the vaccine. It's just a massive coincidence, isn't it? And yet, what do you have? You've got Elon Musk saying, well, let's talk about Wuhan. Let's talk about the danger of the virus. Let's talk about the people who died from the virus. Let's not talk about the people who died from the Trump shot. And let's not talk about the known effects that are slowly killing people. That was the thing that was so amazing about it.

What we're seeing right now, the increase in cancers, heart attacks. I mean, we just got in the car. Like I said, we turned on the radio and the news was on. They were talking about some athletic coach somewhere. He's very healthy and he's young age and he died suddenly of a heart attack. It's like, yeah, yeah, sure, nothing to see here. Move on. I used to not hear this as a regular basis.

Nobody wants to talk about how the long-term effects, which is what, you know, it took a year. I was talking about pandemics and all these children who started getting narcolepsy and catalepsy. Narcolepsy is when you fall asleep. Catalepsy is when you fall asleep. Catalepsy is when you freeze.

That has been around, but it was very, very, very, very rare. And it was the basis of the telltale heart that Edgar Allan Poe used. He had people afraid that they're going to freeze up, and people think they're dead and bury them, and then they'll come out of it. They'll be buried alive, that type of thing. But that started happening on a regular basis. But it took a year for it to show up in children.

And children have a faster metabolism rate. They're like the canaries in the coal mine, but it took a year. And that's typically how the pharmaceutical industry has gotten away with these vaccine campaigns, because it takes a while for the stuff to show up. Nobody wants to ask why the explosion in autism. Oh, well, you know, that's not connected. That happened, you know, months or years after they got the vaccine. But what was changed about this one was people were dying right away within 24, 48 hours.

And of course, by definition of the public health officials, those people were not vaccinated. They wouldn't count people as vaccinated until, what was it, a week or something after they had been, no, I think it was 30 days after they'd gotten the second shot. Then you're counted as vaccinated. So according to their statistics, if they give you a shot and you die right there instantly, um, well, you weren't, you didn't, that was an unvaccinated death right there. Now you've got, uh, this is Dr. Joel Hirshhorn, who I've interviewed a number of times saying the government is now attacking a doctor for promoting vitamin D vitamin D for COVID. And let me tell you, he doesn't have it in this, but you know, when I was working at InfoWars, we sold vitamin D supplements.

And I had no problem recommending that to people because vitamin D supplementation is good. Dr. Hirshhorn is very big on this to the extent that he says, look, yeah, definitely take vitamin D supplements. It's great. And you even need to go to the step of going somewhere and getting your levels tested to make sure that you're, to see how your body is assimilating this because different people will assimilate it in different ways. And when I did commercials for it, I found recommendations from former and current officials with the NIH and with the FDA who were saying,

look, vitamin D isn't necessarily going, it's not going to kill COVID or whatever is going around, but they said it will boost your immune system so that you can handle it better. And they were saying that, that was the government, that was the NIH saying it, it was the FDA officials saying that. And so now Dr. Eric Napute is the very first doctor the federal government has come after accusing him of violating the 2020 COVID Consumer Protection Act. His case takes the form of civil action by the Federal Trade Commission. When they mean civil action, again, that's a bureaucracy coming after you,

saying, well, you didn't violate any laws, but you violated our rules. And since you violated our rules, you don't have any of the same protections that you would have if you violated the law. So you have no presumption of innocence. You're guilty. You got to prove that you're innocent. You have no protection against excessive fines and all the rest of this stuff. It is regulation without representation. And that's the way most of these things are. That's why we're talking about civil asset forfeiture. They say, well, you know, know the war on drugs it's not legal we didn't pass this well we got rules that that were set up you know by the dea and others and

So we're going to take your property without even charging you with a crime, let alone finding you guilty,

and there's no limit as to how much property we can take. That's what happens with these civil actions. They're not civil at all. According to the commission's complaint, the doctor and his company marketed vitamin D and zinc products under the name Wellness Warrior, and they claimed that they were as effective or more effective than vaccines. There you go.

Went to war against vaccines. Yeah, these are people who are dying in car crashes. They've got lots of vitamin D and zinc. They just don't have the vaccines. Patrick asks, thank you very much. I appreciate that. Season's blessings to the Knight family, the chat, and the Knights of the Storm. And folks, if you haven't seen the Knights of the Storm, a lot of listeners have gotten together.

I used to do a chat after the Rock Fan premium content that I would do on Saturday nights. They would hang around and keep talking about news and talking to each other. And so they set that up at 10 o'clock on Saturday. They still have that. It's still the time frame that they do it. But it's very interactive, and I'd recommend you check it out. And thank you, Ann Chris. Thank you very much.

Merry Christmas, David and Knight family. Thank you. I appreciate that, Ann. Thank you. So anyway, they said, they made bogus claims that patients who get enough vitamin D are 52% less likely to die. Those who get enough vitamin D are 77% less likely to get the disease. He's being sued for $40,000 per violation for telling the world they should take vitamin

D and zinc. This is, I need to get Dr. Hirshhorn on. He is, uh, again, he is, uh, uh, he's retired now, so he doesn't really care. Uh, nobody can take, uh, any action against him. He's free to tell people, uh, what he believes is true without any financial repercussions. And he's been great about doing that. He goes on to say, certainly not the first doctor to strongly advocate the use of vitamins and supplements to fight COVID in total. The government is suing him for over 12 million instances of his advertisement.

You multiply that by 40,000 and you get $480 billion. The FTC is coming after him for, do you think that would be considered to be excessive punishment? Even if it were true, even if he had recommended something that we knew didn't work, but we know that vitamin D and zinc do work. Uh, even if that had been the case coming after him for $480 billion is so over-the-top excessive. But, of course, this constitutionally applies to people who have violated laws passed by Congress. These are rules that are created by your unelected bureaucrats, and they can do whatever they want.

So he says, of course, there's a vast literature showing that vitamin D is really effective against COVID. It has been shown that getting a blood level of at least 50 nanograms per milliliter of vitamin D prevents COVID infection, says Dr. Hirshhorn. And that's why I say he suggests getting blood tests to see, you know, if you're taking vitamin D supplementation, see how that's why I say he, he suggests getting blood tests to see, you know, uh, if you're taking vitamin D supplementation, see, uh, how that's working. And of course, I'd also tell everybody, if you're going to take vitamin D supplementation, make sure you take it along with K. K helps your body to assimilate it. If your body doesn't assimilate it, it's not doing you as much good. And if your body doesn't assimilate it, it can cause, uh, if you take a lot of it, it can cause some issues in terms of, um, you know, uh, artery clogging and that thing, but it's not a problem if you take vitamin K along with it, it's just a caveat. Uh, and that's something that they've seen. Uh, he goes on to say, of course, the legal system is a joke,

very bad joke. Uh, but, um, speaking of bad jokes and bad legal systems, we have Montana law that bars COVID-19 vaccine mandates and healthcare has now been called unconstitutional by a judge. So in this particular case in Montana, you had the state come together and say, we're going to stop these vaccine mandates. And then a judge comes back and says, no, you're not. That's unconstitutional. How can that, talk about turning everything on its head and upside down and inside out. Where is a constitutional authority to mandate anything? There isn't. I mean, just when you talk about, when you talk about prohibition, when you talk about drug war and all the rest of this stuff, they had to pass a constitutional amendment.

Why? Because you got the 9th and 10th Amendment saying, hey, we have these rights and we don't give them up if we haven't enumerated them. So we still have medical freedom, even though Dr. Benjamin Rush didn't get the amendment that he wanted to protect our medical choices, he predicted accurately that we wind up being attacked by a medical cabal. But they didn't put that in as one of the Bill of Rights. But the Ninth Amendment covers that. And the Tenth Amendment says that if you don't have the power, you can't assume, if you haven't been specifically given authorization to do something by the states and by the people, you haven't been specifically given authorization to do something by the States and by the people, you don't have it.

And so now we got a judge saying, well, no, the default position is that the government can mandate everything that's in the constitution. I'd like to know what constitution he is reading. And then finally, this is a concern.

I talked yesterday about how many articles there are out there about cancer vaccines and cancer cures and things like that. One of them that I focused on yesterday, one of them does not have any genetic modification, but the one I talked about yesterday did have genetic modification. And now Moderna, in collaboration with Merck, is talking about a cancer vaccine. They say they have met the primary endpoint in a phase 2B trial. Well, I don't even know what that means anymore. You know, when you had trials in the past, it would take 10 years. And Fauci shut that down. And they talked about in October 2019 how they were going to do it. Oh, by the way, that reminds me.

I had a listener who, with my bad impersonation of Fauci saying, you've got to do it from the inside. You got to do it with, uh, uh, create chaos. You do it from the inside and you do it iteratively. And the way I was saying iteratively, he took it, he, he, he wrote down the word that he thought I was saying. He said, I can't find that word anywhere. And it's like, yeah, you will not find that in any definition. I was just trying to say iteratively so I'll stop mimicking Fauci because it's too important you need to know that in October 2019 when asked why how they can avoid ten years of testing and get everybody to take something so they can start making money right away

now she said you do it from the inside You do it with disruption And you do it iteratively Step by step And so I don't know what it means To say they've completed a phase two test Those things don't really have any meaning anymore We don't really test anything whatsoever Take a quick break And I've got something I want to say

You're listening to The David Knight Show. All right, and we have our guest who's already joined, so we will delay the talk about what's going on in Ukraine and escalation that's happening there. We'll delay that till later.

Joining us now is Davis Yontz. He's a lawyer who's very heavily, and of course, a former JAG, and he's had a lot of experience as a military law in the service. He's got a wide range of qualifications in a lot of different areas. He's been a pastor. He's helped people get religious exemptions in this vaccine mandate situation. And we talked to him a week or two ago, and I wanted to get an update after what has now been put into the NDAA. They're still separating people in the military. So I want to talk to him about the current status and even

what this change that's been inserted into the NDAA, what that's going to entail after it finally becomes, um, um, after it finally goes into effect. And it's going to be a while before that happens. So joining us now is David Shantz. Thank you for joining us, sir. Hey, good morning. Merry Christmas. Thank you. Thank you. That's coming soon, isn't it? So that's great. Uh, so, okay. Biden has not signed this thing yet. It's been put into the bill. Uh, he says he's not going to veto it. I don't know when they did the NDAA back, uh, in 20, you know, last, last year, it went

into effect the 2021 NDAA when he signed it, uh, first week of January or something. So we, you know, probably looking, uh, after the holidays before he signs that. And then there's another 30 days before it's going to go into effect. So tell us what is happening now. I know people are still getting kicked out. And then what you think is going to happen after he finally does sign it and the 30 days have happened and it goes into effect. Yeah. So let's talk about the language first. And there's a little bit of history to just talk about the importance of the NDAA, right? So the NDAA is the way Congress exercises some control over the executive branch when we talk about DOD.

So what happened last year is there was a fight to do this last year, right? There was a fight to use the NDAA in the mandate. That wasn't done. But what Congress did do is say the worst case scenario for a military member discharged for refusing the vaccine mandate for no other reason is a general discharge. That still takes away significant benefits, including GI bill and other benefits, prevents any kind of retirement, future service, and all of that, but it was a concession. Let me ask you, does the general discharge, does that affect your VA benefits, your health benefits, or do you still keep those? You keep some of them.

If you have VA disability, you keep that with a general discharge. So it's better, right? It's better than certainly a worse service characterization, but it's not great. And it's not all of it. And it's not all of it. You certainly lose, yeah. I mean, the most significant one that most people worry about is the GI Bill. That's huge. You also lose things like veterans preference points for federal jobs,

state jobs, county jobs, things like that. A lot of employers don't want a military member with a DD-214 discharge paperwork that says misconduct, and then there's a general discharge. So it does have an impact, but it was an improvement. Before that, hey, we were being threatened with court-martial. That's what we were being threatened with before the last NDAA. So that's where this started with the NDAA. That was a step. Now what the NDAA has in it is language that says, hey, the vaccine mandate ends. There is no more vaccine mandate and 30 days, and 30 days, the DOD has 30 days to implement. That's it. That's all the language does. What it does not do is address what's going to happen to those who've already

been kicked out or what's going to happen to those that are in process in some stage of the process or not. So once this is signed into law, we can expect the DOD to put out new policies within that 30-day window, and individuals who somehow haven't been affected by this yet might be saved. And I say somehow haven't been affected by this yet, there are very few people currently serving in the military that haven't already been impacted by the mandate. That's right. Because when you say in process, I would think that everybody's either taking the vaccine or they're in process about this, right? So it sounds like it doesn't do anything.

It doesn't do a lot, right? And there's, so a lot of this is going to come down to DOD policy and what's going to happen as far as the implementation of this goes. So here's an example, and I won't get into too many details, but last week I was in an administrative separation board for an army officer over 17 years of service, less than three years till retirement, who the board found that by refusing the vaccine, he engaged in misconduct. We disagreed with that. We argued it wasn't a lawful order, but that's what the board decided. And they recommended separation with an honorable

discharge. So the question is, I mean, that's a prime example. What is the army going to do with someone like that? The vaccine mandate ends. That's the only thing that's preventing him from continuing to serve. What are they going to do? Are they going to say, okay, you know what? That individual can continue to serve. They can get to the retirement. Are they going to say, no, we gave you an order to get a, you know, an unlawful order, but we gave you an order to get this injection. You didn't. And so you violated that order. So we're still going to kick you out for violating the order. Yeah. I saw that report and that's why I wanted to get you on because I knew you were involved in that. And it was amazing to me. It was the same day that the thing was passed by Congress the same day they separate him out. And I didn't know that they gave him an honorable

discharge. That's it's almost kind of admitting this is wrong. They're the ones who are acting dishonorably. But but that is amazing. And amazing. And I didn't realize that it doesn't do anything for anybody who's already in process now. And then, of course, let's assume that they don't get separated. There's still going to be marks against them in their file, right? There's nothing to stop that. That's right. That's right. Yeah. And so the best way to kind of lay this out is just to use an example, right? So we'll just use an example and we can use, you can use me as an example. That's fine.

Right. So I submitted a religious accommodation to the air force. It was denied. I submitted an appeal. It was denied the same blanket denial for the same reasons that everybody else sees same blanket language. I was given an order. I was given five days to take the injection. I didn't. Okay. That five days went by and I was anticipating

potential adverse action. And then what happened is a federal court issued an injunction in the Doster case in Ohio that protected me. Okay. That protected me from adverse action or being separated. But many of my clients in a very similar situation, but just a few days earlier would have received an official reprimand. Okay. In the air force, it's a letter of reprimand, the army, it's a general officer memorandum of reprimand. But, but if that had happened to me, that would be in my official file. It would be a part of my official record that I'd been reprimanded for failing to follow an order. And I would be potentially processed for separation, even if I wasn't. And even if I chose to stay in now, then what I would be facing

is that letter of reprimand would impact my performance report as an officer, my annual performance report. And so what I would have as an officer, my annual performance report. And so what I would have as an officer competing for promotion with my peers is a reprimand in my file and a referred performance report. And there's so that's just as a starting point. So obviously, I would not be I would I wouldn't be promoted. I wouldn't be eligible for command positions, other things. It would end my career. It would end anyone in a similar situations career so that's just that's like step one the other thing it does that a lot of people don't realize and this gets into the

weeds of the way the military works but if you retire if you're an officer who retires with that reprimand in your file it triggers what's called a grade determination review board. What that means is the Air Force, the Army could reduce you from a grade, say, Lieutenant Colonel to major for retirement purposes because of that paperwork in your file. So it's this weird follow-on process. So again, in my case, if there hadn't been an injunction, if I had received a letter of reprimand, I'm attempting to retire. I may be retired as soon as this month may happen here this month, but I would have to then go through an officer grade determination review

board and I could be reduced in rank for retirement purposes because of that reprimand. Wow. So that's just an example of sort of everyone that's in this process. And, but then, I mean, and again, interrupt me with questions,

but that doesn't even talk about what the DOD policy is going to be for everyone that continues to serve for those who aren't going to retire or get out. It just smacks of vindictiveness. You know, it's just, it's just amazing to me to see this. At LiveScoreBet,

history of what we've seen the navy and the coast guard we talked about this before navy and the coast guard were the worst offenders they were the worst offenders. They were the worst offenders. In the height of this, the Navy was doing things like telling people, hey, you can't leave the ship. You're deployed on a cruise for eight months. You can't even get off the ship. You can't do a single port call unless you either have the vaccine or booster. But even before the vaccine was mandated and the boosters are not mandated, but that's what they said. There's nothing that would prevent the Navy from continuing to do that moving forward, even with the mandate ending, because they're not saying, we're not saying you have to take it. We're saying you can't leave the ship if you don't take it. The other thing the Navy did was they said, Hey, if you're not vaccinated,

you have to report 14 days early and quarantine for 14 days before the ship leaves the dock to deploy. Navy did that. Navy also said, you can't go to church if you're not vaccinated. That happened to my clients. So all of those coercion tactics, all of those things that were in place before there was a mandate, there's nothing now that's going to say just because the mandate ends that the military isn't still going to engage in those coercive policies, regardless of religious affiliation, regardless of pending religious accommodation or not, regardless of how long that litigation takes to move forward. So that's going to be very, very interesting to see. Will the DOD actually engage in a full sea change here? Are we going to see the same kind of coercion and discrimination that we saw even before the mandate was official? Wow, that's amazing. Now, you mentioned, and I wasn't aware that they had done anything to mitigate the mandates a year ago when they were

passing the NDAA. How did that break down? Because, you know, the Congress has not changed at this point. You know, we still have the same people there. We've had an election, but, you know, we haven't had anybody, any new people come in or anybody exit since the election. That isn't going to happen until January. So it's the same people that are voting on this NDAA in 2020 that did it in 2021. How did things shake out a year ago? Do you have any idea?

Was there no, I mean, they still don't, the Republicans still don't have a majority. Kevin McCarthy is saying, well, you know, this is, we're going to block this if this doesn't happen. Well, they don't have any more Republicans there this year than they did last year. Did they not have any Republicans sign on to any of that stuff last year? Well, the biggest difference is it was a group of like 12 senators that came out and supported this change to the NDAA this time. So there were enough senators, Republican senators, that took a stand this year that didn't take a stand last year. And so there would have been no agreement, and the Senate could have filibustered the NDAA if they hadn't done something in the House.

So you got House support behind it. So, you know, logically, what you hear when you talk to representatives, when you talk to the political insiders here is, oh, now the statistics show us that, you know, this isn't as much of a threat or the pandemic is waning or we know so much more about natural immunity now. But the reality is they're also facing tremendous pressure because of the recruiting crisis, right? There is a recruiting crisis. And so they're looking at this as a potential way to mitigate that crisis to say, well, there's people, a lot of people that don't want to be under this mandate, so they're not joining the military. So I think there's a perception that this will help solve the recruiting crisis. Well, you know, the story needs to be, I think, how they are going to continue to punish people, even with this small thing. If they're worried about a recruiting crisis, that needs to be the point of publicity to say, do you really

want to join an organization that's going to be so vindictive and disregarding of the Constitution, your religious liberty? Because nothing is really, as you point out, you had a big change in Congress, in the Senate, but they didn't have enough votes last year or this year in terms of Republicans in the House to really change anything. So if anything's changing, it's some Democrats who have changed. They've changed because they're concerned about recruiting, but they're not concerned about what's happening to the troops because they didn't do anything to ameliorate what the punishments that

have been meted out or to stop these punishments that are going to continue to happen, right? That's absolutely right. And I think they're missing something critical. And this is a critical point. This isn't, you know, so many people get caught up, this is about a particular vaccine or, you know, particular medical product and a particular mandate. It is in part, but in larger part, this is about religious discrimination. And it's about the fact that they're mandating a product that still isn't, the FDA version of it still isn't being produced so you're talking about military members who are seeing the executive branch dod ignore the law ignore congress ignore the law as far as what's already on the books so it's the handling of this and it goes deeper i mean this goes into woke policies this goes into crt this goes into transgender issues and just the anti-

extremism training that i've sat through, right? All of that comes into play. The recruiting crisis, yeah, absolutely. I think the mandate impacts it, but there's so much damage that's been done to morale of good people in the military by the way this has been handled even before COVID that I do think there's going to be significant recruiting issues moving forward. I agree. Yeah. People who are anticipating going into the military, there's enough of them that are going to see all the things that you're talking about. It's a full spectrum of a lot of different things. And it's like, I really want to get involved in that when you look at the CRT

and all of the, as you pointed out, the woke policies, I prefer to call them political correctness because I don't like to let these people pick their own terms. They're not awake. They're Marxists. They're politically correct Marxists. But, you know, when you look at all of that stuff there, you know, that is so telling about where the institution is. And why do you want to join yourself to an institution like that and invest years of

career into an institution that's going to act the way this institution is. And that even is bigger than the Pentagon. It goes to the Congress as well, but has absolutely no concern about the people who are in the service and who have dedicated their life to this. They have no concern to protect them. All they're concerned at this point is, well, how can we put a Band-Aid on this and make this problem

not appear so we can recruit more people into the system? They don't want to fix the system. That's absolutely right. And I think what we're missing too, and this is where my faith plays a huge part in this, but what is the moral standard? What is the ethical standard for the military today? You know, we talk about integrity. We talk about character. We talk about values. That's all part of the military. We talk about all of those things in officer training.

We talk about how that undergirds everything we do. But what is that morality? What is that ethic? What is that shared ethic? You know, to me, the shared ethic of the military, senior leaders in the military is secular humanism and atheism. Yes. And that always leads to tyranny. Right. So so if if it's if they're if they're moral framework, if their worldview is secular humanism and atheism, then then we see tyranny as a consequence of that. So that's part of the problem as well. That's a much deeper spiritual issue that we need to be addressing, but you know, you can't, and part of my frustration too, with, with recruiting,

not to get off on a tangent on that, but, but they keep lowering standards and it just makes me, it makes me just shake my head every time because I think, okay, keep lowering standards. We're going to lower standards. We're going to lower standards. You're telling everybody, Hey, we're going to lower standards for the Navy. We're going to lower standards for the army. We're going to lower standards. You're telling everybody, hey, we're going to lower standards for the Navy. We're going to lower standards for the army. We're going to lower these standards. That's not how you recruit heroes into the military either. I mean, think about what you and I perceived as military service when we were young, when we were growing up, even just like G.I. Joe, there was this idea of this integrity, these values, putting others before yourself, all of these things, this

framework, the good guys, right? And it was about achievement. It was about, do you dare? Are you even good enough to get into the military? Are you even good enough to do this training and take part in this? And now what we're saying is, hey, we'll lower the standards for you. And everyone should feel welcome and comfortable and happy in our military today. And I, I don't think that's recruiting. I don't think that's doing anything

for recruiting either. You want to bring someone in and have a successful organization, build up that organization, make the standards higher and challenge people. And, and that's going to be better long-term for our military as well. You're exactly right. I remember when that was the selling point. I remember the commercials were looking for a few good men. I remember the commercial saying we get more done before most people wake up. That's right. It was about a challenge. It was, you know, and that was what they were looking for. They were looking for people were going to take that challenge and work hard and, and try to extend themselves. And that has just disappeared with all this diversity, inclusivity, and equity and all the rest of this stuff.

That's right. Yeah, the Army went from be all you can be to an army of one, right? And the Air Force used to say aim high, right? Aim high, go bigger, achieve more, become great. And that was part of it. But you change that and military service just isn't as attractive anymore. Well, and you look at it, it was a thing that went around a few months ago, viral on social media, where they compared the training of the recruitment videos in China,

Russia, and the US. It's so sad if anybody remembers that. I mean, it was a traditional stuff that you'd see in the Russian and chinese armies where they're doing challenging stuff it's like are you good enough to get this done i mean this is this is really tough stuff are you you have what it takes was the other stuff you know that it's it's uh this this woke lgbt type of uh thing and and people would respond and say well all you got to do now in the military is just be able to push a button anybody can push a button. That's what we're looking for. We're just looking for diversity.

It's just like, really? We're in big trouble. Right. Right. Yeah. We're gonna, yeah, that that's still, yeah. There's still a core of our military that needs to be able to and mark for 20 miles.

Right. We can't. That's right. That's right. Well, it's, it's absolutely great. New recruitment slogan says my son has joined the military we have lower stand we have low standards yeah uh yeah yeah do it yeah anybody can do it that's that's what they're i guess i guess that's what they're saying you know if you

are the right demographic uh we want you we're looking for a few demographics and only those demographics and uh if if you're not demographic, maybe we don't even want you. Is there anything else that's on your radar about this that you want to tell people? I really think, you know, the key in all of this and my biggest fear and what I've been praying through and talking to other people about is just because the military ends the mandate does not mean this fight is over, right? We don't know what's going to happen. We still have significant litigation going on in federal court regarding the religious

discrimination, as well as the illegality of all of this. And I still have, I mean, I'm going to be talking to an army officer this afternoon who's facing separation over this still. That's still in process. And again, even if the mandate ends, they may still move forward to try and separate him under the allegation of violating a lawful order. So we need more. The hope is that in January, February, the Republicans in Congress will move forward with legislation that does more than just this, but how they're going to get support for it, what support's going to look like in the Senate, we don't know yet, but there's going to be a lot more work to do, so we just can't lose sight of that. Yeah, I remember when this thing was running through

from a political standpoint, there was a couple of different amendments that were offered in the Senate to try to restore benefits to people or to give them the option to be reinstated into the service if they wanted. And I remember one of them was from Mike Lee, and it was going to require 60 or more votes. And another one was only going to require a simple majority. And I forget why there was that difference there. But you never heard any more about the one that just had a simple majority. The one that got all the publicity and the one that some Republicans signed on to was the one that was going to require 60.

And there was no way they were going to get to that. And I said, this is just virtue signaling. So I was kind of surprised to see that they did anything. But now the more we look at it more closely, it looks like it wasn't a surprise at all. It looks like it was kind of more than anything. It was a head fake. And that's really sad to see that. So the fight goes on and you're right at the center of that, Davis Johns.

Thank you so much for doing that. Tell people again your website where they can get in touch with you. You've got a legal practice, and you help people with religious liberty issues and other things like that as well as what's going on in the military. But you've got a lot of experience in JAG and other things in the military, and you're working with a lot of people over this vaccine mandate and separation stuff. Tell people how they can get in touch with you.

Right, and I'm glad I got him on because there was a lot of that that I did not know and has not been reported. So we're going to try to get attention to that as well. There's a lot of reform that has to happen. I hope it can happen in Washington, in the military, but things are so corrupt there right now.

Thank you, Yuri Jenkins. Thank you very much for the tip. He says about the cancer vaccine. It seems like they said it is for skin cancer, but not to prevent it, but to treat it. So isn't it a treatment? That's right. Why call it a vaccine? Oh, because, you know, this is a fashionable thing.

You call it a vaccine and everybody's going to cheer it. And everybody is, you know, again, there's a different protocol for a therapeutic than it is for a vaccine. Back in the old days, you know, they would have one protocol. They would take people that could not expose people directly to something that, um, you know, the vaccine was supposed to prevent disease. We changed that definition now, but the vaccine was supposed to prevent disease. So you would have one group that gets a placebo and the other group that gets the vaccine,

but you couldn't do a challenge test. So you'd have to, part of the reasons why it took so long was you'd have to let them just mix in with the general population and see what percentage of the two groups, the control group and the vaccinated group, what percentage got the condition you were vaccinating them for. But now they've changed all that. With a therapeutic, if you've got somebody who's got something like skin cancer and you're going to treat it,

then you would look to see if it actually worked on that disease. But they call it a vaccine because they get immunity, they get publicity. Everybody wants to know. everything is about a vaccine years before all this stuff happened. You had all these pharmaceutical companies out there saying, we're not going to do antibiotics anymore. Antibiotics are bad. People don't use them through the full course. And we're creating a super bugs and all the rest of this stuff. So we're going to go to vaccines. That's all we're interested in producing right now. And, uh, but it really is the legal immunity, I think, is a big part of that.

He says, more likely it's more harm than a treatment. Let's not trust their word game. That's exactly what it is. It's a word game. Thank you, Yuri. Utopian Lobotomy, thank you very much for the tip. As a matter of fact, my son had some comments. We had moved on, but he had some comments about the nonsense that the unvaccinated are dying in accidents.

He said, so you don't get the vaccine to protect yourself. You get it to protect other drivers. We've gone full circle back to the analogy I used to make about, oh, well, my seatbelt. So your seatbelt protects me, but my seatbelt does not protect me. I wear the seatbelt to protect you and the other car. Same thing with the motorcycle helmet. Well, now you get the vaccine to protect other drivers. Okay. So maybe it doesn't make you less likely to get into an accident. He says, but you'll be less likely to be injured. That was the intended effect. I remember when counting

people who died in car crashes as COVID deaths was a scandal. Yeah, that's right. We had, and motorcycles, you know, that was in Houston. They had a guy died running into an obstacle, the motorcycle, and they counted it as COVID. And when they called out the coroner on that, he said, well, it could be COVID. Maybe he was sneezing. Maybe that caused the accident. I don't know. All right. I did not talk about what everybody else is talking about at the beginning of the show, because I think what's happening at BitChute is much more important and immediate story, but let's do talk about Sam Bankman, who is now fried. Uh, he is facing a good deal of time. Uh, these are some pretty serious, uh, charges and a lot of them, just like they stacked up

all of those, uh uh fines against the doctor who was giving people vitamin d you know recommending it telling them how effective it was against covid uh coming after him for like 480 billion dollars worth of fines well that looks like the amount of time that they want to put sam bankman freed into jail but i like the way that the Babylon Bee put it. Department of Justice arrests Sam Bankman Freed for running out of bribery money. Yeah, as a matter of fact, I think his next step is going to be to get in contact with this guy. Saul Goodman. Oh, hello. I was just working on a multi-million dollar lawsuit for one of my clients. I know what you're thinking.

Yeah, lawsuit sounds good, Saul, but... Who can I sue? Who can you sue? Try police departments, libraries, construction companies, school officials, cleaning services, financial institutions, local and international, your neighbors, your family members, your church, synagogue, or other religious institution, your employers, your employers' customers, suppliers, companies in other countries, companies that made the drugs that were turned into the drugs that you took.

The possibilities are limitless. But Saul, how can i sue these people in institutions i have no grounds do me a favor let me answer that question in person better call saul yeah he's he didn't get to the full list he's down there just as they pull it off other people you can list the the handicapped, Amish elders, yourself. So I think if Sam was able to beat the rap and stay out of jail, he'd have to sue himself to have any money left. But there's going to be a lot of people suing him,

but this is not about the civil suits that have not commenced yet. My son says, yeah, it reminds me of the people suing gun manufacturers. They probably do have a Saul Goodman working for them. Uh, authorities have rated, uh, one of his mansions says, um, Babylon B for evidence of money to line our pockets as $39 million was just not enough. So we're coming and looking for more, but he has been arrested in the Bahamas. He's been charged with wire and securities fraud and money laundering and many, many charges of wait for it. Conspiracy. Oh, he wasn't a lone theft. He wasn't a lone wolf theft. He was doing this in concert with other people.

Yes, that is the point. And the question is, is there a conspiracy in the Department of Justice to cover this up? We'll get to that in a moment. According to the New York Times, the charges are wire fraud, wire fraud conspiracy. They always add that together. Security fraud. Security fraud is, and money laundering. How did they not get a conspiracy to do money laundering? I don't know.

A lawyer chimes in pointing out that according to federal sentencing guidelines, he could be looking at approximately 612,000 years in prison. It sounds like a Saul Goodman case here. This is Zero Hedge. 612,000 years. He was a lone con man instead of a lone gunman. That's good. That's my son.

While more than half a million years in prison may seem to be excessive, life in prison sounds about right, says Zero Hedge. And since SBF was the only person charged in the incident, isn't that interesting? The only person. And yet, he's got two conspiracy charges against him. He's the lone con man. But it's a conspiracy. At least a wire fraud conspiracy and a security fraud conspiracy. But he's the lone con man but it's a conspiracy at least a wire fraud conspiracy and a security

fraud conspiracy but he's the only person charged well a lot of people are saying that they believe that his ex-girlfriend has uh turned on him they said the only person charged in the indictment was sbf it appears that we were right says zero, when we said that his co-worker and former lover, Caroline Ellison, would roll on him just hours after refusing to attend a Senate hearing on his role in the collapse of FTX. SBF has been arrested by the police in the Bahamas. Happened just a week after his former lover and partner, Caroline Ellison, the former CEO of Alameda Capital, was spotted in New York, not in custody, and had sought counsel. And was being represented by a big D.C. law firm, WilmerHale. Did his girlfriend throw him under the bus preemptively as she saw that the defense presenting him as a simpleton was not gaining any ground? So the nation expects the U.S. to request,

the Bahamas expects the U.S. to request an extradition in short order. They said as such a time as a formal request for extradition is made, the Bahamas intends to process it promptly, according to its treaty obligations to the U.S. So, presumably, this means that he will not be attending tomorrow's congressional hearing with Maxine Waters, one of his good friends here.

She did eventually subpoena him, but she has been a long-term pal of SBF. Said it's a shame because we would have liked to have heard some answers. And that is the thing that everybody is kind of surprised about um but you know when you talk about a conspiracy uh they had a secret group chat that they called wire fraud that was the name of the group chat was wire fraud um you can't make this up so um you have futurism.com says, if your head hurts, so does ours. AFR, Australian Financial Review, is reporting that the chat, which also included FTX co-founder, Zixal Gary Wang. I don't know how to pronounce that first name.

So I guess that's why they came up with Gary. Gary Wang and top software engineer Nishad Singh, both of whom may now be in hiding. Well, this chat was on Signal, an encrypted messaging app. So SBF replied to that tweet talking about the fact that they had a secret group chat on Signal and they named it wire fraud. Yeah, you're going to need a criminal lawyer would be what Saul Goodman would say with the emphasis on criminal. Just hours after he was arrested, he was saying just before that, he said, I'm quite sure that this is false because I've never heard of such a group. Well, you would expect him to say that.

So tens of millions of dollars of misappropriated customer funds. He's now being accused of diverting these customer funds to political campaigns. And that's added yet another charge to all these conspiracy charges. Wire fraud, money laundering, and things like that. Prosecutors said one of the reasons that he made the contributions was to influence the direction of policies and laws affecting cryptocurrency. Really? That's a pretty good, pretty obvious conclusion, isn't it? Probably, you know, it's that type of revolving influence peddling

and money laundering for the Democrats that they don't want you to see. A separate but related federal criminal indictment was for violating numerous federal campaign finance laws by giving contributions of at least $25,000 to campaigns and political action committees in the names of other persons. And giving too much money, apparently, you know, structuring this stuff. You know, they put Dinesh D'Souza in jail because he gave $25,000 to a former classmate.

He didn't realize, and evidently she didn't either, I guess, what the limits were. They declared it, and typically what that does is that triggers a fine for both the candidate and possibly for the donor. It was very unusual for them to put Dinesh D'Souza in jail, so unusual that everybody, including myself, believed that it was political persecution. Nevertheless, we'll have to see what happens with this guy. Prosecutors said there was a conspiracy by SBF and others to also make corporate contributions to candidates and report them in the name of another person. All this

dirty money was used in the service of Bankman's, Bankman Fried's, desire to buy bipartisan influence and to impact the direction of public policy. Yeah, he did pay off both Republicans and Democrats, but heavily skewed toward the Democrats. The campaign finance allegations come days after a private watchdog group asked the FEC, the Federal Elections Commission, to investigate his political contributions. Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, they usually go by the acronym CREW, filed a complaint quoting an interview where SBF suggested that he donated up to $37 million or more to GOP-linked campaign

efforts in a manner that avoided legally required public disclosure of those contributions. Most of his publicly disclosed campaign contributions totaled nearly $40 million and went toward Democrats, show the FEC. However, he did know, he did donate at least a million dollars. So again, it's heavily skewed to the Democrats. But perhaps Crew is looking for this because they think there's more money that was hidden that he gave to the GOP or something. But he gave a million dollars to Republicans, and guess who the Republican was that he gave it to?

Oh, your time's up. Mitch McConnell. What a surprise. The super PAC that Mitch McConnell had that he was so selective about who he gave that money to. Yeah. Mitch McConnell that was pictured with Zelensky. So, um, what is alleged is that there was a straw man donor scheme, uh, to, um, use other people's names, uh, and to donate corporate money in the names of individuals to, uh,

make sure that, um, they didn't know that too much was coming from one source in violation of the law. Same type of thing, straw man, that they say, well, you're buying a gun for somebody else. Well, this is essentially that with elections. So conspiracy to defraud the U.S. is what they're coming after him for on the political side. So he's been indicted on eight counts,

including conspiracy to commit wire fraud on customers and lenders, wire fraud on customers and lenders, conspiracy to commit commodities fraud, securities fraud, money laundering, and now the newest one, conspiracy to defraud the U S and to violate campaign finance laws. Now he's got a long rap sheet now, doesn't he? Um, it, but what is really amazing as everybody is, uh, pointing this out is the fact that he was charged at this point. First, a lot of people were saying, and this is what, uh, Brian says Impact, he said, you know, a lot of people were saying, look at how quickly Bernie Madoff, after the information came out of what he had done, within a couple of days, he's arrested and charged. This is much bigger than Bernie Madoff. And yet this ran on and on and on, and he's going on one talk show after the other.

And then before he is supposed to go and testify even more about the politics of this, all of a sudden he's indicted by the Department of Justice. And many people are saying, especially Jonathan Turley and others are saying, that's really fishy. So perhaps, as Brian at Vaccine Impact is saying, maybe this was to prevent him from incriminating himself before Congress, or maybe to prevent him from incriminating Congress. Within one day, the entire narrative surrounding the downfall of billionaire crypto king SBF has gone from, why hasn't this guy been arrested yet, to what is the government afraid of that he's going to reveal november 22nd

you had qdr's fringe finance published an article titled why isn't bankman fried and handcuffs yet i like the term fried instead of freed he's not not going to be freed. I think he's, he's got, he's going to have to undergo a semantic name change. 612,000 years, he's not going to be bankman freed. He's fried. So he's number two only to George Soros in terms of what has been admitted in terms of money that has been in the political thing. And of course they've been hiding contributions and shuffling them around and giving them under other people's names. So it's yet to be determined. Maybe he might even actually surpass George Soros.

Who knows? Uh, yeah. My son says, somebody has got to go down for this and it won't be the politicians. It's not going to be Maxine Waters. No, sir. We're going to, uh, call the justice Department and say, hey, do this indictment. We really don't want to have this guy there.

He knows me too well. The lawyer hired to oversee the liquidation of FTX, who is also in charge of the task for Enron, says that he's never seen a company in worse shape than FTX. He says, I have over 40 years of legal and restructuring experience, and I have been the chief restructuring officer or chief executive officer in several of the largest corporate failures in history. It doesn't mean that he took them down.

It means that he took it over to fix things. Here's my resume. I have been in charge of the biggest failures in history. Now that he's coming in after the fact, but he said never in my career. Have I seen such a complete failure of corporate controls, such a complete absence of trustworthy financial information as occurred here. So yeah, this is why there is so much money in politics. It's why, you know, the politicians have a tremendous return on investment.

As I said at the beginning of the program, they can set you up like they set this guy up. They can set you up in business, and if you're really good friends with them, they can outlaw your competitors, shut down entire industries, shut down things that have been around since the beginning of time, like, you know, farms.

So no, you're going to eat meat. You're going to have biopsy burgers out of a lab. If you've got enough powerful politicians in your pocket, you can do anything. That's why, you know, the metric for corruption is the amount of money that's being spent on these political campaigns. They pick the winners. They pick the winners. They pick the losers.

And it's one of the reasons, by the way, that I don't trust Elon Musk. That alone, the fact this guy has fed off of crony capitalism and grifted off of the green movement for the longest time, that alone would be disqualifying in terms of trust. But then there's that whole transhumanism, mind-reading, Satanism thing. Throw that in for good measure. I mean, even if you don't care about that stuff, just from the way he became the richest man on the planet. For historical reference, again, Bernie Madoff was arrested,

or made off, I guess, because he made off with the money, December 11th, 2008. Kind of around that same anniversary. And it came just two days after he admitted what was happening. Meanwhile, this guy, SBF, has been on a tour bragging about what he was doing. Zero Hedge says, having been asked so nicely by Maxine Waters, a recipient of his donations, and agreed to virtually attend the congressional hearing about the collapse of FTX,

SBF has made it clear that he will not be attending Wednesday's Senate Banking Committee hearing on the same topic. Senators Brown and Toomey were not pleased with his refusal to attend their hearing and have just issued the following statement. Virtually every CEO, financial regulator, and administration official for Republicans and Democrats has agreed to testify in front of both the Senate and the House when called upon. That is how congressional oversight works.

We have offered SBF two different dates. They've tried to be accommodating to this guy, right? And he has declined in an unprecedented abdication of accountability, said Senators Brown and Toomey. Really? Really? He has declined and he has abdicated his accountability. I kind of remember when the FBI turned up at Hillary Clinton's place and asked to get the servers. It's like, go away.

These are not the droids you're working for, that type of stuff. Given, they said, that Bankman Freed's counsel has stated that they are unwilling to accept service of a subpoena, they won't accept service of a subpoena. He owes the American people an explanation. Boy, that's tough. Brian says, well, since when do you get to decide to accept a subpoena? Just ask Steve Bannon about that. And then yesterday, one day before he was scheduled to appear before Maxine Waters, the DOJ issues an arrest warrant and authorities in the Bahamas finally arrest him. So now he can't testify before Congress.

And according to criminal defense attorney Jonathan Turley, this is unprecedented. Never before has the plaintiff in a criminal case, in this case, the U.S. Department of Justice, intervened to prevent a defendant from testifying before Congress, where he would have undoubtedly incriminated himself and made their case a slam dunk. Brian says, I think this is a bizarre story has now gone from, will he be arrested to will he be suicided to protect the guilty? Jonathan Turley says, well, first of all, I get it, Jonathan. My son says maybe SBF should state that he's not contemplating suicide. Yeah.

I previously wrote how, this is Jonathan Turley, I previously wrote how SBF was doing harm to his case by speaking in the media and speaking to Congress, and he's on social media commenting about everything. So why would the Justice Department move to stop the self-inflicted damage? You have a major target who was about to voluntarily testify for hours. And I'll just add here, there was no indication that he'd be smart enough to take the Fifth Amendment. No, he's just going to opine away.

Jonathan Turley says, that is ordinarily a dream for prosecutors, but the Justice Department moved quickly to prevent that from happening. At that stage, SBF was not charged and he was not in custody. He was not protected by Miranda or any other constitutional rules from self-incriminating statements. Indeed, some of us had already warned that he was causing himself considerable damage in making such statements. This was a defendant with a large legal team facing possible criminal charges who seemed eager to speak about his actions and motivations. Most prosecutors would just sit back, make some popcorn and watch this unfold. And you have to ask, you know, why would his large expensive legal team not tell

him to shut up? You know, so many times I have somebody who's involved in some kind of a legal issue. I want to talk to them about what's being done to them or something. And usually they won't come on because, you know, their lawyers won't let them. At the very least, or I should say at the very most, what I can get is maybe the lawyer will come on and talk about the case in general, but they won't let the client come on. Sometimes you'll see the client come on with a lawyer there to shut him up. But most of the time, the lawyers don't even tell us. He's got a big legal team, and they're letting this guy go in one place after the other.

Maybe the legal team has worked out something in advance with the Department of Justice, you think? The curious move led many to question, says Jonathan Turley, a lawyer, if you don't know by now. Jonathan Turley is a very well-known lawyer. Anyway, the curious move led many to question whether the Biden administration was eager to prevent questions on SBF's political contributions and associations as the second highest donor to the Democrats in the last election cycle. And again, it may be even higher because,

you know, he was shoveling out money under pseudonyms and other people's names. His mother, a law professor at Stanford, also heads a major Democratic campaign fund. It's also possible that the Justice Department simply wanted to show the public that it was moving aggressively despite his close Democratic ties. It may have secured sufficient evidence to satisfy the basis for charges and an extradition request. Moreover, the charges are likely to make some Democratic figures uncomfortable as this matter enters the criminal process. Hence the requirement for him to tell people, at least on social media, I'm not

contemplating suicide. And not even just halfway joking about that. One person says, well, maybe those 87,000 IRS agents should look at SBF. They've probably got enough stuff there to keep them busy. Elizabeth Warren, that great protector of consumers, said, well, he should be sent to prison if he committed fraud. Well, you know, Elizabeth, have you noticed that credit card companies, many of them have upped their interest rate on credit cards to 30%? Maybe that organization that you're so proud of having created, the Consumer Protection Agency, maybe they should look into that, you think? You know, it's such hypocrisy. Members of Congress are also questioning the timing of the arrest, as well as Lee Zeldin,

who was just running for governor in New York. He is a congressman from New York. He said they'd been ready to grill him six ways to Sunday. He said tomorrow SBF is scheduled to testify in front of the House Financial Services Committee, but now tonight he's merely arrested, and we will not get a chance to do that. Why not allow him to first testify tomorrow and answer our many questions and to strengthen your case. But anyway, Maxine waters says that she's disappointed, but she says, uh, I don't think she is at all. She said, although She said although Although Mr. Bankman

Freed must be held accountable The American public deserves to hear Directly from him about the actions That have harmed over a million people And wiped out the hard earned life savings Of so many people she said Abe Hamada

Former prosecutor GOP nominee for Arizona Attorney General Said the arrest On the eve of this testimony doesn't make any sense tactically. As a former prosecutor, this doesn't make any sense. You want him to talk. Yeah, everybody is saying that. For all we know, the real reason why mega Democrat donor Sam Bankman Freed was arrested today was so he wouldn't have to testify in front of Republicans tomorrow, said an individual with America First Policy Institute.

Take a quick break and when we come back, I am going to get into, before the program ends, I want to talk about war and the new move to escalate it. We'll be right back. piano plays softly The End You're listening to The David Knight Show. I tweeted out earlier this morning, I said, it's time for us to speak out about this war. We're in a situation right now where the Pentagon has decided that they're going to send Patriot missile systems. These are going to be capable of penetrating much further into Russian territory. Everybody sees this as a major escalation.

And this has been leaked out by several anonymous sources at the Pentagon and the Biden administration. They say that it's not decided is what the sources are saying. It's been reported by CNN that, you know, we have several anonymous sources that are doing this, but they're still considering whether or not they want to do it, but it looks like they're going to do it. In my opinion, this is being deliberately put out from quote unquote anonymous sources. We're saying we're strongly leaning towards this and we're probably going to do this. I think this is being leaked out, reported by CNN from anonymous sources for kind of a public commenting period. This is the way the government works now. Forget schoolhouse rock. I'm a bill, I'm a bill on Capitol Hill. It doesn't work like that. What happens

is they have these bureaucracies and the Pentagon is a bureaucracy and the state department is a bureaucracy. Uh, the bureaucracies will come up with things that they want to do rules or whatever, and they will put it out as a, with a public commenting period, and then they'll consider the response and think about the political calculations and then do what they want to do. But sometimes you can stop this stuff if enough people comment. Remember that story they had earlier in the broadcast about the people in San Francisco saying, we don't want to have the police armed with robots that they can use to kill people, use lethal force. And they got things turned around because there was so much of a movement.

And I know that most people don't see what I tweet out. And not even the people that are supposedly following me see it. But we need to have something like that. In the next couple of days, they're going to announce the decision if they don't get a big pushback. They know that this is a major escalation. That's why they're doing it this way. It is a major escalation.

And that's why they are leaking this information out and saying, well, we're going to wait for some comments before we do it. They just want to see if anybody's going to push back. If we don't change this discussion from this Machiavellian politics of Henry Kissinger, this geopolitics calculation, if we don't push back against that and change it to something that is based on ethics and morality and the Constitution and the rest of these things,

if we don't as a people demand this, the politicians in Washington don't care in either party. They're fine with all this stuff, and the politicians in other countries as well. But it really is here in America where we have to take this initiative, and we have to do this. There has to be a grassroots swell against this of some way. And so if we don't do this, if we don't stop these kind of cynical Machiavellian geopolitical calculations and

replace it with a Christian understanding of a justified war and of ethics, we're going to have the war come to us. You know, war really is about life versus death, peace and prosperity, or war and poverty, but most Americans don't think in that term. You know, we've escaped the consequences of all these wars that we have initiated in or participated in since World War II. We haven't had any war on our shores. The only time we see it is in the injured troops that come back home. Most of us don't have any direct involvement in that. And people have gotten so arrogant and complacent.

We are the country that has not been touched by war, if you stop and think about it, in the 20th century, except for the people fighting it and their loved ones. But, I mean, we haven't had massive devastation. And we're the only ones really who could say it. China's had it. Russia's had it. All over Europe they had it because of World War II, World War I. Japan has had it.

It happened throughout the Pacific, but not here. We didn't have bombs dropping on the continental U.S. And so we think that we can wage and have done multiple wars simultaneously without any consequences, but it's going to come home. It's going to come home to roost. And we've got to speak out against this bureaucracy that is out of control. So looking at what is happening in Ukraine, you now have this dictator, Zelensky. All dictators, these authoritarians, ultimately paranoid as dictators. They're all very paranoid about that.

Take a look at Hitler. Take a look at Stalin. They're all very, very paranoid. I would say that what Mao did with a great reset was based on paranoia, is based on establishing his power. They're all afraid because they know what they've done and what they want to do. And they know that other people want to take them out. And so Zelensky, an authoritarian paranoid dictator, has ratcheted up his campaign against the Eastern Orthodox Church in Ukraine.

A large number of them are, you know, they've had, I talked about this a couple of weeks ago. They had a, when he became president in 2019, running on a platform of peace, and had already been running for five years at that point, you know, a war that was started by Victoria Nuland and the Obama administration with the coup and the rest of the stuff and the secession. No, you're not going to secede.

We're going to bomb you. All that stuff had been raging on for five years. He was elected on a campaign of peace, and one of the first things he did was to tell the Eastern Orthodox Church there in Ukraine that you need to declare your independence from Russia. He was not looking for peace. As a matter of fact, he was the one responsible for this split. In the same way that Henry VIII, for his own personal interests, split off the Church of England.

Well, he split off the Eastern Orthodox Church from Russia. And so you've got these two groups. And there's still a lot of people in Ukraine that did not go with this church split that Zelensky created. The vast majority of Ukrainians belong to the Eastern Orthodox churches with many worshiping and parishes that take direction from the Moscow Patriarch. On December 1st, Zelensky announced that Kiev would attempt to expel all religious institutions with any ties to Russia. The Russian Orthodox Church poses a threat to Ukrainian culture, he said. Well, if you're threatened, if your culture is threatened by a church, your culture is the problem. If your culture is threatened by a church, your culture is the problem.

If your politician is threatened by a church, your politician, or your dictator in this case, is the problem. Here in America, only 1% of Americans see Russia as the top problem. But, you know, as I talked about yesterday, they did a poll of about 33 countries. And do you think World War III is coming? The Australians, 81%. That was the highest percentage. 81% of Australians think World War III is coming. And Japan, a simple majority, but the lowest at 51%. We were at 76% thinking that World

War III is coming. And yet only 1% of Americans think that Russia is one of the top problems. You know what they think the top problem is and always have, except for just one or two years, that Gallup has been doing this for about 50 years? Usually the top problem is government, and government is the top problem. But one of the top problems of government is that it takes us into war. And that's what's happening right now. The U.S. is set to send Ukraine Patriot missiles in a major escalation. I think major escalation is the guy who's running the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

So they said this could be announced as soon as this week. Three officials told CNN anonymously that approval is expected, but it's not there yet. Now is the public comment time against these bureaucratic rules. And other than, you know, who do you write in Congress? I don't know. I mean, you know, write your congressman, write your senator. Social media, they probably are going to squash anything about that.

The Guardian talked about the dangers involved in sending the Patriot. They said, long sought by Ukrainians, the missiles have a range of up to 300 kilometers, but so far, the U.S. and its allies, including the U.K., have declined to supply them because they could be used to hit targets inside Russia. Supplying them would help to bring the war to an end as soon as possible, though, said Boris Johnson, because he is always about escalating. And so the truth that has come out about this is that Boris Johnson and others had already sent troops into, UK troops into Ukraine. British Royal Marines conducted high-risk operations in Ukraine back in April, said Lieutenant General Robert McGowan. He is,

before he said that, Russia said that that was happening. As a matter of fact, Putin said, we have the entire Western military machine that we are fighting here. And it turns out that that is now true, even though that was dismissed and, you know, poo-pooed. They've now admitted it, that they put troops in as early as April. And Boris Johnson wanted to escalate it even further. And now they are going to. They say, well, this is simply defensive. Of course, it can also be used offensively. Thank you for listening.

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

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