Starting point is 00:00:00 Music Using free speech to free minds. You're listening to The David Knight Show. As the clock strikes 13, it's the 14th of December, year of our Lord 2023. Well, today we're going to take a look at some strange political Christmas news. It appears that even as this season is upon us, ChatGPT is feeling seasonally down and getting lazy. Some crazy stuff. We're also going to take a look at what is happening with Rumble.
Starting point is 00:01:13 What is happening with the climate crazies. We'll have an update on pharmaceuticals. The election news. Quite a bit of election news today. We have the beginning of the impeachment of Joe Biden. And the only thing that's going to save the Democrats from impeachment is if you have some GOP members die or retire. And of course, that's the only thing that's going to save us from Biden or Trump.
Starting point is 00:02:15 We'll be right back. well as we get to the christmas season here um and if i can get to my folder here to find this um we have um actually i guess we'll do this later i don't know where this thing went uh that's part of the problem with having things that are not physically paper. And, uh, so sometimes they just disappear or I think they disappear. Here it is. Okay. So, um, let's talk a little bit about, as I was saying at the beginning of the program, chat GBT seems to be seasonably depressed and even, uh, open AI people say, yeah, we've noticed that. Maybe we need to give it a refresh. I think what it's doing is it's mimicking humans because we know at this time of year,
Starting point is 00:02:49 we have a lot of people who, you know, snow is coming and holidays are coming. It's kind of like this, isn't it? Just before the first flakes fell, people in North Mecklenburg County prepared to be snowed in for the weekend. But agree, a weekend wave of snow will mean less people on the slick roads will probably sit around and cook some soups and eat bread and desserts and just get all fat and fancy. Yeah. So I guess that's, what's going to happen with a chat GPT.
Starting point is 00:03:20 That's what it's just hoping that it could sit around and eat desserts and get fat and sassy. But, uh, it's, it's just hoping that it could sit around and eat desserts and get fat and sassy but uh it's it's mimicking other humans i guess i don't know what is going on with it the key thing is as a point out yesterday when ai mimics other ai when it starts cannibalizing other ai that's when it gets really stupid. It's dumb enough when it mimics us. A strange theory claims that chat GPT is now seasonally depressed and behaving lazier during this time of year. According to Futurism and Ars Technica, it might not just be humans who suffer from seasonal depression. Since late November, users have said they've noticed chat GPT becoming lazier. Must have been all the turkeys that it was watching. Anyway, the artificial intelligence apparently provided simple results or refused to do tasks.
Starting point is 00:04:12 Even OpenAI has admitted that there's something wrong with this chat pod. I don't think that it is, I don't think it's seasonal, unless, as I said, it's grabbing stuff that it sees on the net. I think what you're starting to see is that these artificial intelligence bots are, again, it's not just its own stuff that it could be eating. It's other artificial intelligence. I mean, these things can pump out a mass of data, and they've already documented how after they start reading their stuff
Starting point is 00:04:44 over and over again, they start getting really dumb, really stupid. So the OpenAI people behind it, so we've heard your feedback about GPT-4 getting lazier. We haven't updated the model since November 11th, and this certainly isn't intentional. Model behavior can be unpredictable and so we're looking into fixing it yeah they're gonna they're fixing to fix it so um as we look at other strange science it's not just artificial intelligence but it's also artificial brains yeah the scientists are creating a biocomputer they're trying to electronically merge with brain tissue see the longest the big
Starting point is 00:05:28 problem that they've had for a long time i've talked to the people like hugo daguerres he believes or did anyway uh when i would talk to him he thought that if they could just replicate the human brain closely enough that it would just spontaneously spring to life. This is what atheists believe. They believe that, you know, you just, you get all the pieces there, you completely imitate what God, the designer, has created, and then all of a sudden, you know, it just springs to life.
Starting point is 00:05:57 And so as along that line of purely material thinking, they have extrapolated that out to say, well, if we can grow brain tissue from stem cells and start to create an artificial brain, and then maybe we can tap into that artificial brain with some neural links, which is what Elon Musk is trying to do. So scientists from Indiana University
Starting point is 00:06:23 have constructed a hybrid biocomputer that combines lab grown human brain tissue with traditional electronics. They call it brain aware. It sounds like something out of Futurama. It's not kind of a satire, but these people are serious and they can be a bit dangerous as well right they can unleash these things on us brain aware to integrate artificial intelligence
Starting point is 00:06:53 systems and advanced neuroscience research models of the human brain so they make these clusters of human cells that they call organoids and these are going to be brain cells that they call organoids. And these are going to be brain cells that they have developed from stem cells. The goal is to establish a connection between AI and this organic tissue as they try to transmit signals through interconnected nodes forming a neural network. And so just yet another example of do we really need this again you know
Starting point is 00:07:30 the age-old question that uh it was addressed in jurassic park by michael creighton or he has a in the movie the jeff goldblum character says, well, just because you could do it, why did you do it? Should you do it? It's not necessary. Sometimes you look at this and you say, but why this? Why are we spending so much effort and energy on this? And it really is dark. It gets down to the root of the transhumanism, the technocracy,
Starting point is 00:08:04 the desire to control us, not just to troll us on social media. To test Brain Aware's capabilities, the team employed voice recognition, trained the system on 240 voice recordings of eight individuals, and translated the audio into electric signals delivered to the organoid. The mini-bra brain reacted differently to each voice generating distinct patterns of neural activity the ai learned to interpret these responses and accurately identify the speaker achieving an accuracy rate of 78 after training
Starting point is 00:08:37 of course i would question some of their methods of you know just because they see the same types of patterns when they give it the same voices uh and they see that 78 of the time that's really not very high not very good uh rating i mean you look at um you look at something that is a speech to text and um if you get in the mid-90s, it's just gibberish. It's got to be way, way higher than that. And then again, how do they really know? They're just looking at electrical signals there. And yet they're so willing to say, it's alive, it's alive, when they won't look at the heart and the brain activity of a baby
Starting point is 00:09:21 that they want to rip to pieces. Tesla's recalled nearly all of its vehicles as you've seen again this is the autopilot as i've said for the longest time steve wozniak bought one of these straight away he said i love my tesla but don't use the autopilot it's trying to kill you we've known this for the longest time i've got a friend who's got a tesla i drove it's a great driving car. It was a very different experience. Like I said,
Starting point is 00:09:47 it's almost like being, you know, driving or controlling a little electric slot car. You know, back in the day, you'd put your thumb down on the, on the juice and the thing would immediately take off. And as soon as you back off,
Starting point is 00:10:01 it immediately stopped. And, and that's the experience. You don't have any early momentum or things like that that seem to be happening because it immediately puts on the regenerative braking. So you get really direct feedback from your accelerator, which is kind of an interesting thing. And I can understand why people like it.
Starting point is 00:10:21 There's the range issue. But then all this stuff about self-driving cars is really the icing on the cake to get people to perceive the Tesla as futuristic and pick it up, even though it is not working very well. The recall comes after a two-year investigation by the National Highway Traffic Safety Association into a series of crashes that happened while the autopilot, partially automated driving system, was in use. And yet it doesn't matter how many people have said some of these were deadly, it doesn't matter, because they're not going to do anything to this. You see, that's how connected Elon Musk is. It really doesn't, he's not really going against the establishment
Starting point is 00:11:08 when he says, well, I'm going to put some high profile people that have been banned, I'm going to put them back on Twitter. That really doesn't go against the powers that be because he's tightly connected with them. Just take a look at this. Even when he's got something out there and it's a marketing gimmick. That's what it is. He's got a marketing gimmick that is killing people.
Starting point is 00:11:33 Literally killing people. And they're not going to do anything about it. Contrast that with what they did to Volkswagen. Because they were coming up with super efficient diesels. They said, oh, you cheated on the emission scandal. The emission things. And so we're going to hit you with a $4 billion fine. Criminal charges against your CEO.
Starting point is 00:11:49 And yet you got a guy here with a marketing gimmick killing people. And they're not going to do anything about it. That tells you how connected he is. All the things that he's doing for the establishment. Again, because they can't launch rockets. They need him to launch the rockets. He's secure in all of that. So is he doing it out of altruism, or is he doing it, again,
Starting point is 00:12:13 to serve the government that makes him rich? He also has released a humanoid robot. I thought this was kind of interesting, because he likes to refer to all of this stuff as if it were Transformers. So he says, here's Bumblebee in September of 2022. And then in March of 2023, we create Optimus. And so the question is, is this Optimus Prime or is this Optimus Subprime? I don't know.
Starting point is 00:12:43 But he says it's now 22 pounds lighter than the uh first optimus and he says it's got foot construction that replicates human anatomy it doesn't look as creepy as that other biped robot that you've seen that looks a lot more uh human in terms of what he's put there he's gone to a great deal of effort to make it look human. Whereas that other one looks like the aliens from that Charlie Sheen science fiction film, The Arrival. They got backwards knees and stuff like that.
Starting point is 00:13:14 So, yeah, he's making this look less threatening. Isn't that the way that he's making Twitter look? Less threatening. The machine has tactile sensing on all fingers and can manipulate delicate objects, illustrated when it picks up an egg, then puts it back. And also because of the other feet, it's able to do the deep knee bends that you just saw
Starting point is 00:13:36 there. And he says that he believes that artificial intelligence may in the future, there it is using its tactile feedback. How do you tell it, though, that you want it to do this or to do that? Is it making all these decisions on its own? Well, he says that AI is going to be smarter than humans at everything, even at picking up eggs. In December, the entrepreneur claimed that a digital god, that's his terms, a digital God.
Starting point is 00:14:10 This is from a guy who wears a Baphomet cast costume, a satanic costume for Halloween. He claimed that digital God would make the copyright laws regarding AI irrelevant. Well, we'll have to see about that, but they did put out this video, which I thought was kind of interesting. Kind of a cyber cowboy video going full texas there's you got a couple of uh robots the man hands one robot a hat another robot hands them a gun and there's a cyber truck in the distance and he's going to shoot it an automatic rifle oh and it's bulletproof now i I guess. Yeah, look at that. Shot it up. But hey, it didn't kill the robot inside.
Starting point is 00:14:48 He gets out and away. Awesome. Way to go. Now, the question is, how much of this is real? How are they controlling these things? Well, when you look at some of the pictures that he put out about his Optimus Prime robots. There's one that shows a wireless hookup, evidently wireless, between the robot and somebody who's wearing a head thing,
Starting point is 00:15:15 and he's wired up so that it mimics his every movement. Here's what it looks like here. Okay, so he's moving his fingers, and he's picking things up. And look, it is impressive that it can replicate those movements, but it is far from the perception that you get when you don't see the man behind the curtain or the man who's pulling the strings. Kind of like looking at Elon Musk himself.
Starting point is 00:15:41 You don't see they're pulling the strings on the, on the stuff. And then as we talk about, uh, innovations that we don't need, you know, like, uh, growing brains from stem cells and hooking them up to automatic equipment or robots or other things like that. Uh, we have a bill that seeks to use tax dollars to fund one of Biden's pet projects. Smart guns, smart guns. Smart guns are something that there is no market for in a large degree like EVs. There's even less of a market for smart guns than there is for EVs. Anybody who wants a gun doesn't want a gun
Starting point is 00:16:19 that is going to be reluctant to fire. Makes me think of that movie we used to laugh about dark star done by john carpenter when he was in film school they got a beach ball alien in it it's actually pretty funny and there's a smart bomb and they they go to deploy the smart bomb because their job is to blow up planets that are going to be in the way of intergalactic space travel. And so they tell the bomb to deploy and the bomb doesn't want to deploy, but it starts counting down and it doesn't want to detach. And so they get into this argument with it about existentialism. But you don't want, you know,
Starting point is 00:16:59 just like you don't want a smart bomb that's going to start talking back. You don't want a smart bomb. That's going to start talking back to you. You don't want a smart gun. There's going to be several more layers of technology that can keep you from actually being able to fire the gun. I'm one of these old fashioned people. I just, I prefer to have a revolver. That's how anti-tech I am on guns. Sons use a semi-automatic pistols.
Starting point is 00:17:24 It's just to me, I don't want anything that's going to complicate in that stuff. So there we go. He pulled it up pretty fast. Thanks. Are you willing to entertain a few concepts? I am always receptive to suggestions. This is the smart bomb.
Starting point is 00:17:36 Think about this then. How do you know you exist? How is he doing? I think he's talking to it. Well, of course I exist. But how do you know you exist? It is intuitively obvious. Intuition is no proof.
Starting point is 00:17:57 What concrete evidence do you have that you exist? Hmm. Well, I think, therefore, I am. That's good. That's very good. How do you know that anything else exists? My sensory apparatus reveals it to me. Ah, right. This is fun.
Starting point is 00:18:17 Now, listen. Listen. Here's the big question. How do you know that the evidence your sensory apparatus reveals to you is correct? What I'm getting at is this. The only experience that is directly available to you is your sensory data. And this sensory data is merely a stream of electrical impulses that stimulates your computing center. In other words, all that I really know about the outside world is relayed to me through my electrical connections. Exactly.
Starting point is 00:18:50 Why? That would mean that... I really don't know what the outside universe is like at all for certain. That's it. That's it. Intriguing. I wish I had more time to discuss this matter. Why don't you have more time? Because I must detonate in 75 seconds.
Starting point is 00:19:05 Now, Bob, consider this next question very carefully. What is your one purpose in life? To explode, of course. And you can only do it once, right? That is correct. You wouldn't want to explode on the basis of false data, would you? Of course not. Well, then.
Starting point is 00:19:23 You've already admitted that you have no real proof of the existence of the outside universe. Yes, well... So you have no absolute proof that Sergeant Pinback ordered you to detonate? I recall distinctly the detonation order. My memory is good on matters like these. Of course you remember it,
Starting point is 00:19:39 but all you're remembering is merely a series of sensory impulses which you now realize have no real definite connection with outside reality. True. But since this is so, I have no proof that you are really telling me all this. That's all beside the point. I mean, the concept is valid no matter where it originates. So if you detonate in nine seconds, you could be doing so on the basis of false data. I have no proof it was false data. I have no proof it was false data.
Starting point is 00:20:06 You have no proof it was correct data. I must think on this further. Yeah, thanks for pulling that clip up. I needed to see that. Yeah, that's exactly it yeah they told it to uh to explode but then it it can't detach from the spaceship so now they're going to try to talk it out of exploding but it's got its directive so you know what do you do with a smart gun you tell it to fire but i'm sorry i can't make that connection to what you have there do you have
Starting point is 00:20:42 your ring on or your wristwatch or whatever it is? There's no customer base for it. Nobody wants this. So Biden, like he does with so many other things, is going to try to force it on us. And how, let me go back to this. All the people that say Trump didn't do the lockdowns. How does government force stuff on us? Well, his preferred method is bribery, followed by blackmail, and always using Federal Reserve fiat currency. So the Democrats have introduced a bill to use our tax dollars to
Starting point is 00:21:15 fund these smart guns, a $10 million pilot program. There's been a lot of companies that have tried to take this on, never been able to get to market because again, anybody wants a gun doesn't want something like that bomb there. But it's supported by Brady, by Everytown and by Giffords and all the rest of the stuff. It has absolutely no chance of passing with a GOP majority. However, as I mentioned briefly the other day, Kevin McCarthy is talking about taking his ball and going home. He's very upset with his GOP colleagues. He might just quit this next year.
Starting point is 00:21:56 And they've already kicked out George Santos. And there's a third GOP representative who's talking about retirement. And so with all that, they could easily lose their majority it's hanging by a thread it's one of the reasons why these people said well we know that george santos is an embarrassment uh and but we're not going to do anything about it because we need to have every single one of these republicans in there so if that were to happen this could be something that would go through. And so they say unintentional firearm injuries account for 37% of non-fatal firearm injuries. You know, that was the same argument that we heard for the self-driving cars. You people, cars are just too dangerous for humans to drive.
Starting point is 00:22:42 We need to put them under software automation. How did that work out? Well, we had them all going to a particular intersection in California and just stopping. We had them blocking emergency vehicles as if they were these crazy climate idiots. And it was such a problem in terms of creating traffic jams and everything else that people started putting cones on these things just to stop them from moving and getting in the way again and but then there's the fatal accidents as well you know everybody has forgotten all the talk about how we're going to have zero traffic deaths if we turn all of the driving over to these cars even
Starting point is 00:23:22 the cruise cars that were driving around the city, not at a high speed. So when they had an accident, it wasn't typically fatal. When somebody hit a woman and knocked it under the in front of the car, the car initially stopped, checked itself. And just like that smart mom, I don't sense anything around me and yet she was under the car and it drug her for quite some time and uh made her you know increase the injuries the serious injuries that she had that was kind of the final straw for crews in the california so they have now shut that down but it's the same argument that they've got for the smart guns, the smart cars, all the rest of this stuff. Anything that's smart, self-monitoring and reporting technology is for stupid slaves.
Starting point is 00:24:14 Thieves are arguing that they should face lesser charges because their stolen goods were on sale. Now this is in Colorado. It's not even in California, but it's getting to the point where we're going to lose all retail stores. Isn't that going to be nice for Amazon and these other people who are so essential to the government? So essential to the
Starting point is 00:24:33 desire to make sure that we don't have any physical spaces that we go to. We just stay in our little cubicles and they'll deliver it to us. We'll go nowhere. We'll have nothing. Not even the big box retailers. they'll shut them down with this planned chaos supported by soros attorney generals and so these guys uh stole some stuff from a kohl's store in colorado and their defense attorney told them that they should get a lesser charge because some of the items were on sale.
Starting point is 00:25:14 Uh, one of them, for example, a KitchenAid, a stand mixer retails for 499 at Kohl's, but it's currently on sale for 350. So let's mark that down. What else can we get down there? Maybe we can get it under the level and get it from one level of, um, uh, crime to another, maybe from a felony to misdemeanor or lower class of a felony or whatever. Also stolen were brand name shoes and clothing. They're now also discounted. So make sure that if you're organizing your George Soros enabled looting,
Starting point is 00:25:38 organized looting crime here, that you do it on Black Friday or maybe after Christmas. That's when they get the real discounts well we're going to take a quick break and when we get back we're going to talk a little bit about what happened with rumble the other day and why that is starting to happen to rumble interested the finest classical music? Find it now at APSradio.com Thank you. Well, we have had some issues earlier this week with Rumble. Everybody did. The site went down a couple of times. Well, we have had some issues earlier this week with Rumble. Everybody did. The site went down a couple of times.
Starting point is 00:27:45 And when it happened, I told Karen and Travis, I said, well, I think this is happening simply because they're hosting the give the, um, January six footage and we're going to let it be hosted on rumble so that the public has access to it. As they started doing that, uh, this is when this stuff started rolling out and I'm, you know, after this started happening, uh, severe cyber attack a couple of days ago. And, uh, so, uh, we were, um, you know, we were affected by that. Uh, you had the CEO of rumble, uh,umble, Chris Pavlosky, said the same thing. He said, I can confirm the attack's been unprecedented, has been happening since this weekend. I also suspect it is political, coming from activists and or organizations, like our government, who want to censor our creators and related to the J6 videos being posted on Rumble. I think that's absolutely true.
Starting point is 00:28:30 And so, especially because you look at the timing, shortly after it was uploaded, they had significant coordinated cyber attacks. The disruption made it impossible for users to upload or view any content on the platform. But they got it remedied on Monday evening. I don't know if there's any thing there today. I know that, uh, our Karen said our view count there on rumble is significantly down. I don't know if it has anything to do with that or not, but it's another
Starting point is 00:28:57 example of the fact that we now live an authoritarian banana Republic. Uh, no question about it um the um when you look at the the biden impeachment that is happening here uh that's to keep the maga people really happy so they don't notice the 702 reauthorization so they don't notice uh all of this or feel good about it right uh elon mus Musk assuages their concerns. It's like, okay, well, we're being censored and watched and surveilled everywhere for all of these different agendas that the government is trying to push on us. But it's okay because now we've got Elon Musk is going to give us a free speech platform
Starting point is 00:29:38 on Twitter. No, it's not okay. And the Congress is not doing anything about it. The Republicans are not doing anything about it. Uh, instead, you know, you see,
Starting point is 00:29:50 uh, uh, the fact that the news guards ministry of truth just keeps going on. And every time you talk about news guard, there's a long article about news guard, uh, from Lee Fang on his sub stack. And,
Starting point is 00:30:04 um, he calls it the, sub stack. And, um, he calls it the, the ministry of truth, which it is. But every time you talk about news guard, you should talk about election guard as well, because the two are created at the same time by the same people funded by the same people.
Starting point is 00:30:16 And if you understand that the purpose of censorship, one of the key purposes of it is the election, but they also want to directly manipulate the election, just like they're directly manipulating the news. And so you should always talk about both of these as a linked pair. When you look at what's happening in the UK, for example, we've already talked about this in the past, how they use the military to monitor what people were saying during their PSYOP called the COVID pandemic. And so they used Royal Air Force agents to monitor online COVID speech. There's an organization in the army that was also involved in this, but specifically,
Starting point is 00:31:00 they now have more specific documents and more details about this, the RAF, Whiten, and Cambridgeshire assisted various government bodies who were all organized to monitor and to punish people who said the wrong things about their agenda. A secretive operation led by the Army's, quote, Information Warfare Brigade warfare brigade unquote tasked with analyzing online commentary and so the ministry of defense was involved in this what a surprise this has always been a militarized operation especially with the five i countries america canada uk australia new zealand Their intelligence agencies linked up. This is also, they've been a military operation.
Starting point is 00:31:48 I said, doesn't it raise any red flags with anybody that Operation Warp Speed is being run by the military? They're going to deliver all this stuff? How deep is their involvement? We knew that they had been involved in part of this going back to dark winter. And CIA especially. that they had been involved in part of this going back to dark winter and um cia especially and so this is a military operation it's the bioweapon it's a psychological operation to scare people to death to then lock them down and then deliver a bioweapon and surveil them the entire time. And don't forget all of the death protocol that they were financially incentivizing
Starting point is 00:32:34 and rewarding everywhere. It's so ridiculous to hear people, Trump didn't do any of this stuff. Yeah, it was the hospitals that were killing people with those death protocols except trump was creating the ventilators for them and browbeating uh the gm ceo because she wasn't getting them out quickly enough and he was uh waving aside the remdesivir um tests and giving people subsidizing people and paying the hospitals a bonus to kill people, a bonus to put them on the ventilators, a bonus.
Starting point is 00:33:12 If they could identify them as a COVID patient for everything they did for them. Anyway, the RAF was a part of this. Our engagement in the initiatives was more substantial than was formerly known as they're getting some more documents. But guess what? They won't do anything about it.
Starting point is 00:33:30 Everybody knows. And now we see that nobody's going to do anything about it. It's like the Snowden leaks. It's like James Clapper going before Congress and committing perjury. Not a single person even suggested over a five-year period. The statute of limitations is now gone. Not a single person in the Senate suggested that he ought to have perjury charges brought against him, but we saw what was happening.
Starting point is 00:33:54 And in a sense, when I look at this, I get a very uneasy feeling about it because just like all of this other surveillance that was running through section 702 and other things like that, that they're in the process, Republicans, of reauthorizing. As we saw this stuff happening, I said, you know, if we don't do anything about this, this is going to become essentially a precedent, which is what they want to do.
Starting point is 00:34:19 They don't modify the Constitution anymore. They don't even really bother to pass laws. They let the bureaucracy do its own thing. We have rules and taxation without representation, regulation without representation. And if you don't stop them, oh, well, now we've got a precedent. We've been doing this for a long time. And that's how they are enacting the law.
Starting point is 00:34:41 In the same way, they've always done that in the UK. This is part of the merger of the British government system, the Crown and all the rest of it. They don't have a written constitution. They have, well, we do things, and if that stays and people keep doing it, it sets a precedent, and that's really the way that we establish our constitution. And that's what we've done here. For these people to say, well, you know, the constitution is a living document. It's really just whatever I do and get away with. And that's what we've done here for these people say well you know the constitution is a living document it's really just whatever i do and get away with and that's what the government
Starting point is 00:35:09 is doing now so prominent public figures like david davis mp who voiced skepticism over the covid mortality rates and journalist peter hitchens were the subjects of special government reports being produced by the military. We've turned the military. The military is no longer to defend our countries. They leave the border open. They use them for surveillance of us. Insiders from the Defense Department conceded that the military's contribution to such operations might be portrayed as spying on UK citizens. Well, that'd only be if you want to look at the reality of it and not listen to their spin.
Starting point is 00:35:51 But they were saying that amongst themselves. This might be portrayed as spying on UK citizens because that's what we're doing. The Ministry of Defense alleged that the absence of armed forces support and overseeing online discourse could catalyze the propagation of misinformation see what they did they said well if we didn't sit there and watch speech then we could have misinformation out there well how do you know what is true well what is true is what the government says. This is like trying to argue with these people. It's like trying to talk to that smart bomb.
Starting point is 00:36:29 So we know what truth is. And we're going to shut down anything before that. And so our censorship is really to protect you. Our censorship is for safety. You know, it's truly our will, isn't it? And these are the same institutions that lie us into war constantly. The military and the press and the institutions that lie us into war constantly, the military and the press and the government,
Starting point is 00:36:49 constantly lying us into news. Well, I thought it was interesting as we look at Rumble as what we experienced this last week. And I had a listener, and I'm glad the listener has been able to find the show because the listener said that Jones is back on Twitter. Are you going to try to get back on Twitter? Like, wow, I was never kicked off of Twitter back in 2018. I got kicked off of everything except Twitter for some reason, but then they shadow banned me. And, um, but they kicked off all the other accounts. I've been there all this time. Perhaps this listener did not hear the show when I talked about the fact that I put up a thing
Starting point is 00:37:30 and I said, well, except for some high-profile people that have been brought back, and that was four or five months ago. And I said, look, this person's come back and this person's come back. At that point in time, he was saying he's not going to put Alex back on. And I said, except for the return of some high profile people which i think is simply virtue
Starting point is 00:37:48 signaling uh twitter has not changed for me and uh i said um it is even worse than it was when i was shadow banned by the previous regime and i think the reason for that is because i'm a critic of musk so you know we've got two two reasons to get banned on there and actually drudge linked to the tweet where i complained about that i said yeah for me twitter is actually worse i and i said that after i paid his eight dollars you know a month to um to get on there so I could upload, actually I upload videos. That's all I do really. And, um, that allows us to put the full video up because he was also suppressing
Starting point is 00:38:34 links to other sites like rumble or odyssey or bit shoot. They don't like you linking outside of their little universe because he wants to be everything. And so I thought, okay, well, let me just put the videos up there. So that's what we do. If we cut out videos, we put them up and we've got the full show that we broadcast up there, but not really going to, uh, engage in conversations on Twitter. I just don't have the time to do social media anymore. I don't have the money to hire a group of people who are going to be my social media people. Alex has got multiple people doing that all the time. But no, I was never taken off.
Starting point is 00:39:09 I was shadow banned, which was really kind of strange. And that has gotten even worse. So you might want to ask yourself, why is it that you have people who are being promoted by Musk. What are they telling you? As David Icke said, I think these are people who are the new mainstream alternative media, part of the Hegelian left-right thing, and where they're going to be the antithesis, but it's still going to be a control thing.
Starting point is 00:39:42 They'll go so far and no further. They will get you focused on the things they want you focused on. They're not going to talk about lockdown. They're not going to talk about Trump's involvement in it. They may talk about the things that Biden did, but they're not going to talk about the things that Trump did and vice versa on the old line mainstream media. But they're creating a new mainstream media, Tucker, Alex, people like that, to completely control the discussion and make sure that you don't look at the existential
Starting point is 00:40:14 underlying things here. So as all of this is happening, there was a Supreme Court appeal by RFK Jr. to intervene in social media censorship cases. This happened because you had, they brought this to the Supreme Court just a few days after Attorneys General of Missouri and of Louisiana accused the White House of communicating with tech firms to violate the First Amendment. We know that's exactly what they do. And I was surprised to see that Clarence Thomas didn't join in on this. Samuel Alito was the only person who dissented on this. They said, no, we're not going to listen to this RFK Jr. case about censorship.
Starting point is 00:41:02 Maybe they thought it was redundant to the one that's being brought by the, um, attorneys general in those two States. Uh, but Alito said, well, the harm is immediate. And so we need to address this immediately.
Starting point is 00:41:15 Uh, but they're not, they're not doing it. And, James Bovard asks, uh, is free speech a relic in America? I would say definitely.
Starting point is 00:41:22 And of course, uh, he points out that a federal judge on the 4th of July this year, Harry Doughty condemned the Biden administration. He said, this is the most massive attack against free speech in the U S history. If you want something to impeach somebody for Mike Johnson, maybe you do that. That'd be much easier to prove, probably, than the financial stuff. I mean, you saw this back and forth.
Starting point is 00:41:49 Perhaps you saw it. I don't know. As Jim Jordan and Comer were in the hallway, you had this Washington Post reporter who was arguing with them about the money, the millions of dollars. They didn't pay taxes on. They were going back and forth with, which was all inside the bank, all inside the know your customer stuff, as I pointed out.
Starting point is 00:42:10 Nobody wants to talk about that. I haven't even seen any of the crypto people say, as Jamie Demon and Elizabeth Warren are conspiring to try to shut down crypto and to portray it as the currency of crime. Nobody says, but look at what the Bidens did. And they did it as the currency of crime. Nobody says, but look at what the Bidens did and they did it all through the banking system. Look at what HSBC did.
Starting point is 00:42:31 As I pointed out anyway, uh, uh, Bovard says, it's interesting that 55% of American adults support the government suppressing quote unquote, false information. Again,
Starting point is 00:42:43 who determines that it's false. That's the problem with all this he says even though so 55 want the government to shut down false information even though only 20 of the people trust the government see this is the insanity of this stuff this is this is this kind of uh bipolarism that we see with the trump supporters so um you know this is one of the reasons why by the way you know it's not just to do this secretly so they don't have to answer for violating the first amendment well we'll have the corporations do it uh so we don't have to so people don't see us doing this directly it's exactly the same thing they did with the lockdown and other stuff.
Starting point is 00:43:26 We'll do it through the states. We've got this model legislation we put out, so we'll have them enact this. We'll give them massive amounts of money to do it, and the Republicans as well as the Democrats will all do it. And so they have the corporations that they are leaning on and threatening. And this is what several of the judges say in this Bovard article. He's got quotes from the judges, multiple judges comparing the federal government to the mafia and the way that they interact with these private companies. But we always knew this was the case.
Starting point is 00:43:55 And yet when all this stuff began back in 2018, you had the Heritage Foundation, the biggest conservative think tank. You had the Cato Institute, the biggest libertarian think tank. It's corporations. They can do whatever they want. You had the Cato Institute, the biggest libertarian think tank. Yeah, it's corporations. They can do whatever they want. You had Reason constantly doing that. John Stossel. I don't like being censored, but hey, I love corporations being able to do whatever they want to to me. And so, you know, I don't want to get in the way of that.
Starting point is 00:44:17 But what about your God-given rights of free speech? And again, nobody wants to talk about the fact that a corporation is not a person. Mitt Romney was wrong about that. It is an artificial creature that has been created by government, not by God. And it has been given privileges. And then the government that created that creature leans on it and says, obey me, I'm your creator and I can destroy you. That's what the judges are talking about.
Starting point is 00:44:46 And so the judge, Terry Doughty, 155 pages of damning details, says James Bovard, of federal browbeating, jawboning, and coercion of social media companies. He ruled that the federal agencies and the White House, quote, engaged in coercion of social media companies to delete Americans' comments on Afghanistan, on Ukraine, on election procedure, other subjects, again, pandemic, the vaccine. He issued an injunction to block them from doing it. Will that stop them? Of course not. Constitution tells them not to do it. Will that stop them? No, you have to enforce it. Will the GOP House do anything about that? No, they won't. No, they won't.
Starting point is 00:45:28 They'll narrowly focus, and it reminds me of what they did with Bill Clinton. You had this long list of crimes from cattle futures to all the rest of this stuff, and manipulation of financial crimes, crimes
Starting point is 00:45:43 accused of sexual assault and violence, Bill Clinton. What did Ken Starr do? He focused on a perjury that Bill Clinton had about a consensual relationship with all of the crimes, with all of the Clinton Foundation, the espionage and all the rest of this stuff. And he focused on that. And you look at what they could come against Biden for. The fact that they're coming against him, like, you know, perjury is a real issue.
Starting point is 00:46:13 But that was a way of letting him off the hook. And if you're only going to look at Biden's personal grifting and not look at what he did to America, look at what he did to America. Look at what he did to the constitution and continues to do the constitution. That is a high crime and a misdemeanor crimes and misdemeanors. So they should do something about that. But two weeks after Biden's inauguration, says James Bovard, White House digital director. His name's Rob Flaherty demanded that Twitter immediately remove a parody account of Biden's relatives.
Starting point is 00:46:51 Twitter officials suspended the account within 45 minutes, but then complained were being bombarded by White House censorship requests at that point. Then he made a request to Facebook and he ragedaged it then July 15th, 2021, an email. Are you guys effing serious? The following day, the president accused social media companies of killing people, quote unquote, by failing to suppress all criticism of the COVID vaccines because he's about to mandate them for everybody.
Starting point is 00:47:22 And so, um, involved in all this is James Bovard points out, is CISA. It's supposed to be there for cybersecurity. Instead, what it is doing is evaluating content and trying to censor people and to surveil people. In the same way that the FCC, which was originally there to allocate frequency spectrum for TV and radio, so that it wasn't interference just to facilitate this. And actually, that is a legitimate constitutional thing because it's something that's going to go across state lines, the radio and TV signals will. So, you know, that would be the place that you would want to do it would be in the federal government. And as long as all you're doing
Starting point is 00:48:00 is allocating frequency spectrum and holding auctions for it and then monitoring it to make sure that somebody doesn't cover it up that's fine but that's not where they're staying now they're going to take a look at content again just like sissa everything is about well we need to know more about you just like nicki haley said we got to know your name we can also know what your political beliefs are what are your religious beliefs and this is the totalitarianism and so they began by looking at foreign influence you know that's what they were set up to do just like the cia and the nsa and just like the cia and the nsa the cisa sisa has turned inward and their misdis and malinformation team is now looking at Americans.
Starting point is 00:48:46 And during the 2020 election, it's just a targeted for suppression. Anybody saying that mail in voting was insecure, which of course it was. And for months before the election happened, I said, it's going to be completely fraudulent. Why is Trump allowing this to happen?
Starting point is 00:49:02 Good question. Good question. Did he want that to happen? And, of course, Pachinik and Owen and Alex were telling everybody with a sting that CISA. CISA was the one that Trump had enacted to blockchain watermark with quantum this and quantum that. He was going to, it was CISA that was actually running the sting for Trump. It was exactly the opposite, wasn't it? That's what your CIA operatives were telling you there at Infowars.
Starting point is 00:49:34 Pachinik and the rest of them. Pachinik openly working for Kissinger, for the CIA, part of Operation Gladio, all the rest of this stuff. Yeah, the mail-in voting is insecure. Well, CISA is targeting you and going to suppress that. But they're not doing anything about the voting. They told you exactly the opposite of what was happening. CISA aims to control Americans' minds, says James Bovard. A CISA advisory committee last year issued a report that broadened what it targeted
Starting point is 00:50:04 to include the spread of false and misleading information because it poses a significant risk to critical function, like elections or public health or financial services or emergency responses. I got to say, you know, why is the government involved in public health? Why is the government involved in financial services? Why the federal government? Why is it involved in financial services? Why the federal government? Why is it involved in emergency responses? As I've said many times, when you have FEMA involved, they typically make things much worse. It's much better when it's done at a local level. Again, my sons, when they were in high school, one of them, Whistler, did a report contrasting what happened in North Carolina when there's a hurricane came through and FEMA went in high-handed, exacerbated all the problems for everybody, kept people away from getting back
Starting point is 00:50:50 to their homes and securing things, created more damage, made people homeless, all the rest of stuff. Whereas when a tornado went through the county where we were and destroyed a lot of homes and the local government went out and just kept people away from the downed power lines. And then you had, and that's the only involvement of law enforcement. It was all handled locally. And it was great. You had corporations who voluntarily donated food. They took them to church parking lots.
Starting point is 00:51:22 The church people showed up and handed the food out to people. You don't need FEMA. They complicate things. They make things worse. And they do that with elections. They do that with public health as well. Anyway, the government in June of 2022, still doing the COVID censorship, as he points out. And this White House digital director, Flaherty, said he wanted to monitor Facebook's suppression of COVID-19 misinformation. Again, this is in June of 2022. And so as people are starting to explain what this is really about, starting to wake up about what this is really about, he wants wake up about what this is really about.
Starting point is 00:52:08 He wants to double down on the censorship for that because they've been doubling down on the censorship from the start with that. He wanted Facebook to intervene in private conversations on vaccines and direct them to the CDC. James Bovard has a lot of fun with that. He says, so a Facebook employee told Flaherty that an immediately generated message about any, and this particular thing, somebody was talking about nosebleeds or something, that might give users the feel of Big Brother. Actually, it might show that you are a Big Brother.
Starting point is 00:52:38 And so James Bovard said, at least the Biden White House didn't compel Facebook to send form notices every 90 seconds on any private discussion on COVID. Something like the Department of Homeland Security wishes to remind you that there is no surveillance. Have a nice day. So, yeah, that's it's not a feel. It's a reality of Big Brother. So they responded to these legal challenges in court. By betraying themselves in the same way that Richard Nixon did, says James Bovard as quote pitiful, helpless giants.
Starting point is 00:53:14 Hmm. Uh, and so they also, um, judge Daugherty wrote the federal agencies will blame Russians. They'll blame COVID-19. They'll blame capitalism for any suppression of free speech by social media companies. But it's coming from them. That's what he said. You're the guys who are doing this. But you're going to blame Russia, China, COVID, capitalism.
Starting point is 00:53:37 Doesn't that tell you that these people in the Biden administration are dyed-in-the-wool Marxists? But, of course, this stuff was also happening in the Trump administration because nobody changes in these regulatory agencies. Strong-arming Twitter to arbitrarily suspend 400,000 accounts including journalists and diplomats.
Starting point is 00:53:57 So another judge, Judge Don Willett, James Bovard said, one of the most principled and penetrating judges in the nation, had no problem with the federal agencies publicly criticizing what they judged to be false or dangerous ideas. That's a debate. But we don't have debates. We have bans now. We have bans and canceling and purging and all the rest of the stuff.
Starting point is 00:54:20 There are no debates. We're not going to have any of that. We're not going to show you any data. You're going to do this because i say so so he said i don't have any problem with you criticizing what you think is false or dangerous ideas but he says but here you have the government this is what the judge says here you have the government in secret in private out of the public eye relying on subtle strong-armed and strong-arming and veiled or not so veiled threats. And he said, things like the mafia, well, that's a really nice social media platform
Starting point is 00:54:51 you got there. It'd be a shame if something were to happen to it, right? And he's not the only one to draw the analogy to a mafia. Jennifer Elrod, another judge, compared the Biden censorship directly to the regime, to a mafia, rather, saying, we see with a mob, she said, they have these ongoing relationships. They'll never actually say, go do this or else you're going to have consequences. But everybody just knows what to do. That's the way it works in journalism as well.
Starting point is 00:55:22 That's why this Herden mentality is very easily communicated. Very subtle things. And so you don't have to actually have an order. So then mainstream media, even within the mainstream alternative media like Infowars, that's the way it works. You know that,
Starting point is 00:55:39 sometimes they take you aside and say, you better shut up about Steve Pachinico, we're going to fire you. But it doesn't always work that way. The Biden administration was supposedly innocent when the feds never explicitly spelled out the or else. As she pointed out. But that's really what it is. It really is operating as organized crime.
Starting point is 00:55:58 It really is threats and intimidation. He says, 50 years ago, philosopher Hannah Arendt wrote, the most essential political, of all, the most essential political freedom, the right to unmanipulated factual information, without which all freedom of opinion becomes a cruel hoax.
Starting point is 00:56:18 He says, the battle over federal censorship will determine whether Americans have more than a passing whiff of political freedom. Well, that really is where the battle is. And other people are writing about this as well. It's been there for five years, five and a half years, really. And that was when it was openly done. And we knew who was behind it, but it was happening before that. And so it's a question,
Starting point is 00:56:43 what is going to happen with any of this uh diane waldman of real real clear policy says government cannot become big brother internet censorship must end anyone who lived through 2020 observed that some messages received treatment online that stood in stark contrast to other messages. Yeah, I noticed. I noticed. As I said before, I said in 2021, I said 2020 was the year the world became China. And just to prove that, just to validate that, YouTube censored me, suspended me for doing exact showing and doing exactly what I said was happening. Turning into Chinese authoritarian model. We'll be right back.
Starting point is 00:57:32 Whether you're feeling like the blues or bluegrass, APS radio has you covered. Check out a wide variety of channels on our app at APSradio.com. Sous-titrage MFP. you're listening to the david knight show the David Knight show from the album as well and thank you on rock fan Thank You James appreciate the tip on there you know we've had let's talk a little bit about the Scrooge McGuffins that are all over the place the environmentalists that are they're doing things and now with the Christmas time these same people who've been gluing themselves to roads and other things, other damage, nuisances like that. These people are now attacking Christmas trees in Germany. And they coordinated this to do this in seven cities at the same time.
Starting point is 00:59:36 It's a conspiracy, isn't it? Yeah. You know, when you start seeing things like this happening all at the same time you know they clearly know there's an organization behind it why don't we use that same logic when it comes to the fact that we have all these different governments around the world locking everybody down at the same time and then saying in two months we're going to do this next step then they do it and then they say and now two months from today we're going to do today now what we told you because this is an emergency uh we told you we're going to do this two months ago now we're telling you we're going to do today now what we told you because this is an emergency. We told you we were going to do this two months ago.
Starting point is 01:00:05 Now we're telling you we're going to do something else in two months. And they all do it at the same time. Just like these people spraying the Christmas tree. This is what it looked like at one of the beautiful tree in a town area. I think it is a town or maybe it's in a mall, I think. And they're spraying red paint all over it. I wonder what the environmental effect of that is going to be. Are they releasing CO2 as they spray that down?
Starting point is 01:00:37 Radical climate activists, as Breitbart calls them. But actually, I think they're climate crazies is a better way to describe them. Launched a series of coordinated strikes against public Christmas trees throughout Germany yesterday morning. What do they have against Christmas trees? Are they now the source of CO2, as Bill Gates says? These things have been cut, so now we've got to bury them, or they're going to start emitting CO2 and that type of thing. Now, this group is called the last generation. They're one of several of these.
Starting point is 01:01:09 There's the last generation. There's the extinction rebellion. There is another one called just stop oil. These are the people who are going around and trying to just destroy things that are beautiful, things that are part of our culture, going in and throwing food or paint or things like that on paintings to try to destroy them, going into the Louvre, other places. They threw paint on a Monet painting. We saw this.
Starting point is 01:01:42 So they have, as I pointed out in this breitbart article you know as they glue themselves to the roads people who have an emergency can't get to the doctor and we've already had a woman who was left brain dead because the radicals blocked the road in berlin and she they couldn't get her to the hospital. So she was left brain dead. But these are these prophets of doom that have been around for more than 50 years. And always their big problem is that they have too short a time frame. The world is going to end in 10 years or whatever. We've seen generation after generation of lies and false prophecies from these people.
Starting point is 01:02:25 But, of course, in this particular case, there's seven of these things happen, seven incidents like that. There were no arrests made. No arrests. These people get away with it. It's almost like the government wants it to happen. We're all racing full speed toward catastrophe, and our governments are failing miserably to pull the emergency brake. No, what they're failing to do is to shut down these organizations. We know who's behind them.
Starting point is 01:02:52 We've got big-moneyed NGOs behind them, and they never punish them. And so this continues to go on. And then there was an article out of the uk about the eco zealotry coming after the christmas chocolates uh yeah nuts coming after the chocolates um actually in this particular case what this is an example of is the other extreme of this the corporate side the blackRock ESG type of thing, and how they want to virtue signal to the government and maybe even to their customers. And so this writer for the Daily Skeptic, Joanna Gray, was talking about what they were
Starting point is 01:03:39 able to buy a few years ago, a box of chocolates, and said it was amazing because they were handmade, a thing of beauty, handcrafted chocolate delights. And you could see all of them had a clear plastic cover on these chocolates. And so they said, well, this year we thought we would pick up some of these. We liked them so much. They tasted great, but they were truly amazing to look at. And so we thought we'd get them as gifts for some family members. And we go back to where we got them at the department store, Fortnum and Mason in the UK.
Starting point is 01:04:09 So they weren't there. We couldn't find them anywhere. No boxes of these chocolates like they used to have. And they started asking people. I said it was incredibly packed. Everybody was shopping. But they finally got an answer. One person who was selling a different type of candy, marzipan fruits, said, well, yeah, they're over there. They're in cardboard boxes now because we don't want to have any plastic.
Starting point is 01:04:38 And, you know, they made an exception for us this year because we're a small company. But by next year, we've got to have no plastic covers either and so they went over and looked at it and said it was just this nondescript solid cardboard box and uh who knew what was inside you couldn't see inside of it i mean it's sealed up you know because um uh you're in the store you haven't bought it yet they don't want people opening these things up so um so no tiny caramel hearts iced on two chocolate pots, no white and pink raspberry delights, no lightly dusted balls or truffles, just a bland cardboard box. So they said, you know, this is done to virtue signal.
Starting point is 01:05:21 I said, of course, Fortnum and Mason doesn't really care about the planet. Doesn't care about overuse of resources. Because if it did, it would shut down immediately. Because there's nothing in this department store that is essential. It is all luxurious flummery. It is just trying to make a futile, pointless gesture. And so she said, well, I recommend anybody with any sense, avoid this.
Starting point is 01:05:46 If you're in the UK, you can go to chocolate craft in Hampshire where the plastic lids show the beautiful chocolates and all their tempting glory. Yeah, this is just more corporate virtue signaling. And so you have the useful idiot storm troopers at the bottom, destroying everything everywhere. But then you also have the corporations that are trying to destroy everything.
Starting point is 01:06:08 And they don't care what customers want, because they have one customer they want to serve, and that is the government. And the government wants to push this climate MacGuffin. And so these idiots are vandalizing art and decorations. These are the people trying to destroy our society, though. And you need to take them very seriously i know they're just sparing pain on a christmas tree but they really want to destroy everything about our society as we've seen they want to come after our food they want to come after our everything that we have it's not just candy packages and christmas trees these people are deadly serious with all this stuff well we're going to take a quick break and we're going to
Starting point is 01:06:43 come back and take a look at some of the other climate stuff, especially you will not believe what they are doing with windmills in Scotland. It's one of the most absurd things I have ever seen and hypocritical as well.

Starting point is 01:09:07 the windmills of the Green Party and the Socialist Party in Scotland. It turns out, and this is one of the most interesting stories, I think, it turns out that their wind turbines are secretly using generators, diesel generators. Now, diesel generators are fine. I don't have a problem with diesel generators now diesel generators are fine i don't have a problem with diesel generators but they are not um typically uh because they're for temporary use and things like they don't have a lot of emission controls on them and uh a few years ago when porsche started coming out with their electric cars uh elon musk had to show that his could compete on the nurburgring and so he sent one
Starting point is 01:09:47 of his plaid cars over and of course he could not use the chargers that were over there because they've all got these different connections and everything so he set up a charger and then he powered his charger with a diesel generator so he could show off his electric car he's got a diesel generator and the people around there said this thing is smelly it's noisy it's running all the time stop this and and but this is what scotland is doing with their wind turbines what a crazy grift this is because you know if the wind not blowing, they still got to generate some electricity. And so they fire up the diesel generators. Scotland's power sector criticized after it was revealed dozens of giant turbines have been using diesel generators.
Starting point is 01:10:41 A whistleblower said the windmills are only turning thanks to hydrocarbon fuels, diesel. They've got these things running up to six hours a day the diesel is running because you know the wind doesn't blow all the time that's one of the reasons why this is a problem scottish labor member uh said using diesel to de-ice faulty turbines is an environmental madness now see that was um in texas they weren't expecting the windmills to freeze up. They did cause massive power outages because they have rewarded so many of these billionaires by building a power structure. They spent billions of dollars to build an infrastructure to pipe back the electricity generated in these remote wind farms. But then when we got cold weather, they froze up. So perhaps they're running these things for six hours a day to de-ice them.
Starting point is 01:11:35 But this person, Colin Smith, said it is environmental madness. This is one of the people who actually believed the climate fairy tale. It's very difficult when you get disillusioned, isn't it? Wait until he hears about Santa Claus. It's really going to be difficult for Colin. The Scottish National Party, the Green Party, they had originally told everybody that Scotland possessed 25% of Europe's wind energy potential. Well, that's not true.
Starting point is 01:12:14 This revelation has found that 60 turbines at one wind farm in Scotland and 11 at another one were connected to six huge diesel generators. Last month, the Scottish Energy and Climate Change Directorate, they call it a directorate, right? Because we're talking about becoming authoritarian communist countries here. They responded to a Freedom of Information Act request asking how many wind farms use diesel generators as backup and how many do not.
Starting point is 01:12:48 You see, they're not just using it to de-ice these things. They're using it as backup. And that's the way renewable sources of energy have always been used, as backup, because they're not dependable. You know, the sun doesn't shine 24 hours a day in case you hadn't noticed uh but um the wind doesn't always blow either so their response said the scottish government does not specifically gather information on whether wind farms use diesel generators as backup so they asked another question because it's being a little bit cagey. It's like trying to talk to chat GPT or a smart bomb.
Starting point is 01:13:25 We are aware, they said, that one wind farm does have permission to use diesel generators. Oh, so they want to say, well, we don't know if they're using it or not. But they were asked permission. And these people didn't say, wait a minute, you're creating this super clean environmental thing. What do you need a diesel generator for? They were in on this thing from the very beginning. They're in on this fraud,
Starting point is 01:13:58 the Scottish National Party and the Green Party. We are also aware from recent official level engagement with Scottish Power Renewables that these two wind farms use diesel generators as backups as they kept asking them questions. They, like peeling off the layers of an onion, they start to get to the core of the truth. Huge, dirty generators. This is the same thing we see all the time.
Starting point is 01:14:20 When you look at the Paris Climate Accord, China is allowed to build as many coal power plants or whatever they want to burn and there's no restrictions on emissions none whatsoever no emission on the quantity no no restrictions on the quantity of these things and no restrictions on the quality of uh the quality of the air that the emissions that come out of them and so same thing is happening now here evidently and uh with the wind power they secretly put in diesel generators to make that up now if they're getting a massive subsidy they're using these things as a backup and so they're also applying now and this is not just something that was done once.
Starting point is 01:15:05 They now have 20 onshore wind projects. And all these documents, as they continue to look at the information, get the information back, all these mention having diesel generators to use as a backup. So they won't let you use coal plants or oil plants or natural gas or something like that that's had a lot of emission controls put on it that is very, very clean. You can't use that as a backup. No, we're going to shut those things down. And then bring out some dirty temporary diesel generators.
Starting point is 01:15:39 That'll be fine. What fraud? And the other thing that's fraudulent about this is that they're getting all of this subsidy pretending that it's being generated by wind when it's really generated by these diesel generators. What a sham. What incredible sham. Oh, yeah, I got these diesel generators, but guess what? You know, a quarter of the time I'm going to be running these diesel generators. But pay me and, you know, give me subsidies, green subsidies, all this other kind of stuff.
Starting point is 01:16:08 I got a dirty diesel generator here, and you're going to pay me as if I've got some emission-free green power source. By the way, I just wonder, while we're talking about this, we've always talked about this. Eleven years ago, I'm sorry, 12 years ago 11 years ago um i'm sorry 12 years ago it was 2011 it's 12 years ago this is what i was doing when they started making these renewable energy mandates one of the first places where they had the mandates was in colorado you know the same people i talked about yesterday uh putting wolves out um And so I was with a group that was trying to stop that. We did a lawsuit, just like we did a lawsuit trying to get Michael Mann to turn over his data that was fraudulent. We knew it was fraudulent.
Starting point is 01:16:55 And he hid it. He was able to keep that. We lost in court. He was able to keep it secret. We lost in terms of fighting this. But this is a real problem. And at this point in time, we were talking about the fact that they bring on these renewables, which are not steady state and they're not reliable, and so you have to have something there to run. We're putting wind on trial because people don't understand the facts behind wind.
Starting point is 01:17:21 We believe that if people knew how variable wind was and how dirty it was, if they knew the wind is neither free nor clean, then they may not have government demand its use. Wind energy is very variable. When the wind blows, you're in good shape, but on a second by second basis the wind energy goes up and down because electricity must balance a demand and supply any changes in the supply have to be taken up by some other supply typically fossil fuel so you've got a fossil fuel plant that is running up and down much like a car in traffic in the city. That's inefficient.
Starting point is 01:18:08 It uses more fuel than it needs to, which causes more pollution. And it burns dirtier, which causes more pollution. And the pollution control equipment doesn't work as well, which causes more pollution. So just trying to keep the energy balanced on the grid when wind is there causes pollution. And if you took wind off the grid and just used the fossil fuel plant the way it was intended to be used, it would be like a car on the highway driving in a steady stream. That would cause less pollution than if it was on the grid. Now the question comes up, how do we know that it's dirtier?
Starting point is 01:18:39 And a variety of studies have been done. One of the ones we're relying on in our Colorado lawsuit is the Bentex study. They examine with great care how much pollution comes out under different wind and fossil fuel scenarios. That study is available on the web and it's a very good study that no one has ever refuted. In a free market system, the marketplace should be able to pick the winners, not the government. Because wind is not the good deal that people say, because it costs more, because it comes out of the pocketbooks of Americans who can't afford more, we believe it's time to put wind on trial. We took this lawsuit because we're a pro-environmental organization. We have
Starting point is 01:19:21 found, as have others, that use of renewable energies can cause more pollution than it prevents and it's also unconstitutional so we take in this case to try to fix the problem that's both legal problem and an environmental problem yeah so uh the wind energy and these other things cause more environmental damage and uh you've got to have that energy somehow and if you can't get it from the wind well then you've got to ramp up your power plant but if you killed the power plants bring out a dirty temporary diesel generator that's where they are now. That was 12 years ago. So why isn't big oil losing any sleep over this new climate deal?
Starting point is 01:20:13 As they point out, this is CNN wringing its hands and saying, we said we're going to get rid of fossil fuels, but it's exploding. They're doing more development and more discovery. Of course, we're not going to be allowed to refine that stuff in the United States because we're not allowed to have any more refineries built here. They'll ship it to China because they'll manufacture the refined petroleum products. And then they'll also manufacture whatever we need because we're going to export all of that. And then the real issue, as I said, with COP 28, we exported our energy usage and which is necessary for manufacturing and our manufacturing we exported that offshore to china now what they want to do with cop 28
Starting point is 01:20:52 is we want to come after the wealth of the western nations and turn it over to people in china i'm sorry not china but in africa uh as climate reparations is what they're going to call it. And it's a big grifting operation. They're going to have these people going. The people who are going to get the money are going to be all the governments are going to send our money to Africa. And then the African dictators are going to buy stuff from these Davos billionaires after they've skimmed a lot of money off of it. But we'll be the ones who get the bill just as always. But anyway, following marathon talks, says CNN, the COP 28 climate summit in Dubai struck a deal that makes
Starting point is 01:21:32 an unprecedented call for, quote, transitioning away from fossil fuels. Some countries like the U.S. welcome the firmer than ever commitment to moving away from energy resources that are responsible for planet heating emissions again this is cnn spewing this nonsense but the resolution is marred by loopholes oh that offer the fossil fuel industry numerous escape routes u.s oil production is at a record high india plans to double their coal output by 2030. 2030?
Starting point is 01:22:06 Isn't that when we're supposed to have everything super clean and under surveillance? The UK is issuing new drilling licenses in the North Sea. American oil majors are splurging billions on deals that signal that they see robust demand for decades to come. You see, all this stuff is virtual, virtue signaling. And it is all stuff that is going to be used. These people are going to make their money. They're going to make their money from oil, coal,
Starting point is 01:22:34 other things like that coming out of other countries, not out of ours necessarily. But they are also, these agendas are going to be used to impoverish and to enslave us. That's what it's really about. They're still going to make their money. They're going to make their money getting government subsidies for these renewable things or getting,
Starting point is 01:22:50 um, um, being able to do business as usual. Latest evidence. As you look at, uh, Exxon October announcement of a $60 billion deal to acquire shale driller. Chevron has an agreement two weeks after that,
Starting point is 01:23:04 that was done in October. Uh, later, uh, later to buy shale driller chevron has an agreement two weeks after that that was done in october uh later uh later to buy shale producer hess for 53 billion dollars hess has large oil assets in guayana you know which is where venezuela is talking about invading uh they said it'll help to grow their production over the next decade or so. Occidental Petroleum said it would pay $12 billion in cash and stock to buy a U.S. shale oil producer. So altogether, you've got three deals here that are about $125 billion. And then if you look at Australia, another $50 billion oil and gas deal was going to happen there, also involving liquid natural gas.
Starting point is 01:23:45 So the response from a person who wrote a book on ESG tells CNN, the markets aren't functioning properly. No, actually the markets are functioning properly. They say the markets aren't functioning properly because they're not rewarding the right company. So we need to have more government intervention. That's what these people always push. We need to make sure that the markets reward those oil companies that are decarbonizing at pace. No, they don't want any market input. They want to have the government be the marketplace. Again, when you look at ESG,
Starting point is 01:24:19 they got one customer. And so I guess you could say in that sense, the markets are not functioning properly. We're not giving our one customer, the governments guess you could say in that sense the markets are not not functioning properly we're not giving our one customer the government's exactly what they want and so the government the marketplace which is the marketplace has to send some more signals so instead of the government marketplace rewarding these people maybe you need to bring them in and punish them for giving other people what they want. The industry invested only $20 billion in clean energy projects last year. Only about 2.5% of its total capital spending.
Starting point is 01:24:57 I guess, you know, they've got to invest a lot of money in those diesel generators for the fraud that they are doing with these windmills. Goldman Sachs is going to shut down its climate ETF. those diesel generators for the fraud that they are doing with these windmills. Goldman Sachs is going to shut down its climate ETF. They created an investment property that is essentially companies that are going to be trying to enforce the Paris Climate Accord. And as Zero Hedge says, another day, another ESG pipe dream falling victim to reality. Green investing and ESG is a grift. It certainly is. Goldman Sachs had a Paris-aligned climate U.S. large-cap equity ETF. The idea was to provide investment results that corresponded to the performance of Goldman Sachs' equity index
Starting point is 01:25:52 following the Paris-aligned capital investment. So they're shutting this thing down. They only had $7 million go into it. I think the market is speaking, isn't it? Everybody knows that this is a forced, coerced fraud. And a lot of these people don't want to put money into it anymore. Less than a week before that, we noted that $30 billion has been shaved off the value of clean energy stocks over the last six months.
Starting point is 01:26:19 Zero Hedge also pointed out weeks ago how the ESg grift was reaching end game after marcus mueller chief investment officer for esg at deutsch bank stated that sustainability funds should include traditional energy stocks well it is kind of interesting you know some of these biggest supporters of these things are backing off just like ford oh, this EV thing, it's not really working. Rural France, meanwhile, the farmers there are so upset about the flip-flopping that is constantly going on that there are flip-flopping signs there. Look at this.
Starting point is 01:26:59 They're taking street signs, and they're turning them upside down, carefully unscrewing them, turning them upside down, and then screwing them back on that way. And again, it's a way of showing that they're under distress in the same way that you would fly a flag upside down to show distress. Motorists in rural France have recently been astonished to see thousands of road signs at entrances to towns and villages turned upside down.
Starting point is 01:27:24 The name-bearing roadside plaques have been unscrewed, flipped, and screwed back on. And I think that's a good protest. It's not destructive of anything. It gets your message across. I think that's a great idea, frankly. It began with a protest in southern Tarn in November. Now it's spread all over the country. The farmers are saying, we were trying to think of a way of denouncing all the contradictory instructions that we keep getting.
Starting point is 01:27:49 If someone tells us to do one thing one day and then the opposite the next, we say that we're walking on our heads in France. And so that's where this idea came from. We talk about flip-flopping. They talk about walking on their heads, but either one works with this. And this is a lot of environmental nonsense it is also the government says well we want to have local farms we want to support local farms but uh you know do this do that we're going to increase the cost of diesel fuel for the farm but we still want you to produce this food we want you to do it at a cheaper price
Starting point is 01:28:21 we want you to pay your laborers more money and all the rest of these things. And so how do we do all of that? They want us to raise the salaries we pay. But on the other end, we're told to lower our prices because of inflation. One of them tells us to change our practices. You can't do farming the way that you were doing. You've got to do something that is more environmentally friendly or aligned with what Davos and the UN want. But then they tell us to
Starting point is 01:28:45 produce as much as possible so that we can have food sovereignty and independence well this is all part of the chaos you know it's just like fauci flip-flopping on his mask you know one day you wear it one day you don't then we're going to mandate it now we're going to mandate three of them and say you know all that type of stuff and so it is really part of creating chaos that's really deliberate you know we talk about environmentalism we got gates you know first of all let's pay the billionaires to plant trees and um or they can you know pay each other whatever and then they can do whatever they want so you pay these carbon credits for people to plant trees because they've got to take the co2 out now they flip-flop and now gate says no um we're not crazy we're the crazy people here after you paid me to plant the trees now you're going to pay me to
Starting point is 01:29:35 cut them down and bury them and so it's constantly this flip-flopping and the purpose is to turn everything upside down because as fauci said we got to do it from the inside. We got to create chaos and disruption. And we do it step by step. And that's the way all these MacGuffins work, whether it's their health MacGuffin or their climate MacGuffin. So they said their campaign has helped to get the government to back off of a couple of two new taxes that they were talking about doing. So that's what's happening with the farmers. And then when you look at Italy, a positive sign there,
Starting point is 01:30:16 the parliament has banned artificial food derived from animal cells. This is happening as UK stores are banning plastic to virtue signal. At least in Italy, the parliament there is banning tumor meat that's what i call it tumor meat we're going to cultivate these cells in a lab and feed them to you uh so according to reuters um according to reuters they said um that what it outlaws are cell cultures or tissue that are grown into meat. People will get up to $162,700 fine. They might have their government funding withdrawn. Here in the United States, that would be the big thing.
Starting point is 01:30:57 Let's stop funding these corporations that are working against us. That would be a job for the Republicans, who have the majority in the House, because that's where they can stop the spending bills. Or to be shut down completely. And so, here in the United States, you've got, this is not happening. Instead, you've got Bill Gates and you've got Tyson coming together
Starting point is 01:31:19 to talk about how they're going to have lab-grown chicken and they're going to grow bugs for us. The United States is only the second country in the world to approve cell-based chicken. Uh, the other one is Singapore, which approved it back in 2020. It's a very expensive process. I don't know that it's necessarily makes any sense from an economic or an energy standpoint. But who cares about that?
Starting point is 01:31:44 You know, we'll, we'll, uh, have a cyber truck that weighs 7,000 pounds. Who cares about the energy efficiency of that? Uh, the costly process involves extracting stem cells and giving them a nutrient dense bath and vitamins, minerals, salt, and even soy inside a steel bioreactor. An average batch takes about two weeks to harvest. But they said in Italy, the agricultural minister, whose name is Lola Brigida, said lab products, in our opinion, do not guarantee quality or well-being.
Starting point is 01:32:18 In other words, they're not safe and effective. We don't like these things, and we're trying to protect our culture and our tradition, and we want good quality stuff. So good for them, but that's not what we have in the United States. We're not doing that at all. Okay. We're going to take a quick break and we will be right back. Uh, when we come back, we're going to talk a little bit about what is
Starting point is 01:32:37 happening with the election. Oh, I'm sorry. When we come back, we're going to be talking to Tony and, um, Tony Hardeman. And, uh, so we'll make a, um, quick break here, and we'll be right back with Tony. Stay with us. Elvis. Ladies and gentlemen, the Beatles.
Starting point is 01:32:53 And the sweet sounds of Motown. Find them on the Oldies Channel at APSradio.com. KAMI MENGALA Thank you. you're listening to The David Knight Show. And joining us now is Tony Ardaban of Wise Wolf Gold. There's been a lot of development in the financial markets. I want to talk to Tony about that. Thank you for joining us, Tony. It's good to see you, David. Thanks for having me.
Starting point is 01:34:15 Thank you. Yeah, what do you think about this? You got the Powell pivot. Was it really a surprise? Did they bake the stuff? We had a stock market jumped up on it, but we already had some people who said, well, you know, we think they're going to lower interest rates earlier than we originally thought. But everybody knows they're going to lower it because of the election stuff. But how has that affected gold?
Starting point is 01:34:44 Well, you know, you have a lot of the fake paper markets, and I think it's helping drive the price right now, especially in those sectors. But that's really not what the issue with gold is right now. And it's funny, I was looking at the headlines like Santa Pal is driving the markets and happy days are here again. It reminded me of something. He used the word transitory. Him and Janet Yellen is about inflation. It was transitory. It was transitory. And then he became very hawkish.
Starting point is 01:35:04 And then he raised rates faster than any rate in history but I like what they described now as the rate that they're holding they called it the terminal rate and I thought terminal really describes it better doesn't it it's a terminal now David and so they've they've decided they're going to raise rates or lower rates three times uh starting in 2024 and perhaps into 2025 another four times. That's what they say. And really, they don't have a lot of choice. If you're going to prop up the domestic economy, you're going to have to goose it with cheap fiat currency debt. That's what it loves it. It survives off of that. So I think that's the plan
Starting point is 01:35:42 right now. You're so right. It's an election year. It has nothing to do with sound economics or actually saving the dollar or anything like that. I think you're just watching this play out where they're hand in glove with the federal government and the sitting administration. This is the deal. Yeah. And if they can do moves that are going to cause the stock market to pick up, then everybody looks at their portfolio value going up. Oh, I'm happy with this. So, yeah yeah it's funny they call him santa paul i saw a cartoon of uh somebody had klaus schwab and had a uh a person sitting on his knee and they called it santa klaus and he says to the person he says uh you'll get nothing and you'll be happy
Starting point is 01:36:21 basically what santa klaus is the grinch who stole everything from us yeah zero hedge has got a thing quoting powell and they call it the powell pivot they said so on december the first he said this he said it'd be premature to speculate on when policy might ease then on december the 13th he said rate cuts are something that begins to come into view and clearly is a topic of discussion. So I guess there's been a lot of economic change or political change, is what we're looking at there, right? Well, it's very malleable. It's transitory, David.
Starting point is 01:36:55 All policy is transitory. But I think Terminal better describes it because what you're watching is the collapse of a system. And, you know, it's funny to the the commentators and everything across the twitter sphere or the x sphere or whatever it is now we'll get into a couple of tweets here in a little while there there's so much faith in the this the fake stock market it's really unbelievable yeah especially when you realize you know you have so much of the popular culture is looking at inflation now because it's just it's so evident i, you know, it's gradually over your lifetime, things start to increase in price and you kind of get used to that because you hear your parents talk about, oh, it used to only cost a dime a gallon for gasoline and all, you know, I can go to the movies for a nickel. You hear all that stuff.
Starting point is 01:37:38 Well, I think even with the memes like Home Alone, where the price has increased 247% and people are taking notice of that. Well, what's interesting to have the side-by-side thinking is that on one hand, you have pop culture realizing inflation is real, that the dollar is fake. And on the other hand, they say, well, I think we have a soft landing. I think everything's going to be fine now. Well, if the trend is always to lose, the dollar loses value, then how can you have any faith in that system where you're investing? It's rigged against you. The mere fact that you're dealing in something that constantly loses value isn't in and of
Starting point is 01:38:16 itself theft. So it's funny, David, I was just doing some calculations before we did the show. And I have this two and a half dollar gold Indian. Okay. This is, I know you can't see it, right? I'm holding up to the camera, but it's a, it's about the size of a dime. This was two and a half dollars prior to 1933. I did the math on it.
Starting point is 01:38:37 Just a meltable gold value. Not just the coin value. $247 today. Wow. Wow. Two and a half dollars, $247 in meltable gold yeah yeah um if you want to see a side-by-side comparison of what happened to the dollar that's a great example yeah that's where we are now and and you know 10 years 20 years from now it's going to be even
Starting point is 01:39:00 further away so really i think you're watching two separate things happen. The old system and people are still running back to it because they have either familiarity with it and normalcy bias. Very dangerous because on the horizon, you've got a complete reshuffling, I believe, of the global currency system. Central banks are buying gold at a record pace. We talk about that all the time. I think that's really what's behind the gold price. You'll have these fluctuations and you'll have some profit taking, we're on a trend this is not the the last part of a bull market or they oh this is something totally different in my opinion and i'm not it's this isn't this isn't about investment this is about watching history happen and as a
Starting point is 01:39:39 matter of fact i was listening to um a couple different podcasts and and I got on Robert Kiyosaki's Twitter, and I was thinking, this is what I'm watching, especially with some of the gold analysis. This is like the Twilight Zone when he says in the opening, there's a signpost on the road ahead. We're watching the signpost. We're on the outer limits where we control the vertical, we control the horizontal. We are completely in control of everything, and we're going to manipulate it, and we'll have our media come in. I'm looking at this headline where it says, this is from The Hill, Fed keeps rates at a 22-year high as inflation retreats. I guess all the inflation retreated between December the 1st and December the 13th, right? It all just
Starting point is 01:40:25 went away so he can completely change that it has nothing to do with an election year right nothing nothing whatsoever it's very malleable very transitory actually it's terminal and I think this is what we're gonna keep watch this is going to be ugly I had somebody comment on my my ex and I get so I don't know what I'm supposed to call the thing anymore it's twitter you know somebody uh at mentioned me and uh off of one of our interviews and they was talking about uh you know gold is manipulated and uh you don't talk enough about btc and it wasn't a it was a friendly tweet and i said well actually i love btc um but there's going to be a revaluation soon i don't know when it's maybe not tomorrow or next week or this year but it's going to be a revaluation soon. I don't know when it's maybe not tomorrow or next week or this year,
Starting point is 01:41:06 but it's coming and it's going to be ugly. It's not going to be a pretty thing, you know, because you have year decades of manipulation behind the gold price versus the dollar. And it's funny, I want to, there's a tweet up on gold telegraph. I don't have anything to do with this account, but I find it interesting. And it's, it's pretty on point. You can find him on X. And he asked, why doesn't, let me find the tweet.
Starting point is 01:41:35 It was talking about Jerome Powell. And it asked him, why hasn't a journalist asked Jerome Powell why central banks are buying gold? He says, it's just a pet rock, right? Because the central bank of the United States, the Federal Reserve, is are buying gold he says it's just a pet rock right because the central bank of the united states at the federal reserve is not buying gold this is a i think this is a huge tell of what's happening in the world and where we're headed and again almost no major financial network is talking about it i think it's like you talk about it's the sherlock holmes the dog that didn't bark why aren't you talking why are we focusing so much on these rate cuts you know it it really is it really is amazing david i mean we're watching history happen and there's just so there's a niche group of people that are an analyst that are looking at this and uh wow i just i get goosebumps thinking about it we're
Starting point is 01:42:20 really watching and this is happening faster than i haven't even anticipated yeah uh because you know you and i we talked about about them lowering rates we didn't see it possibly till getting closer to the election summertime 2024 no they're already doing it because i think there's so many economic indicators that aren't talked about like the the mises institute talking about the the contraction of the actual money supply contracting faster since any time since the Great Depression those are indicators of an economy that's dying and you have hundreds hundreds of zombie corporations that are left over not only from 2008 but from the scandemic from 2020. they're propped up you know you were just you were just hinting and talking about ESG and environmental social
Starting point is 01:43:06 governance and how all of those policies are linked to the Federal Reserve and the Central Bank. Those relationships are what keep these zombie corporations alive. So you have possibly hundreds of systemic failures that could be going on simultaneously in the economy if the dollar loses its grip anywhere. And so I, it's not good. I wouldn't be, I wouldn't find this a Christmas rally. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:43:32 I would, I would, I would think of it as a good time to exit in my opinion. Yeah. Yeah. You know, you look at the establishment press, like I said,
Starting point is 01:43:39 the Hill of Washington post. Oh yeah. We've, we've we've beaten inflation now. It's like, are you serious? And when you talk about that policy of gradual inflation, which has now accelerated significantly, you held up that coin.
Starting point is 01:43:52 When was that? You said it was from the 1930s, that coin? It's a 1909. Oh, 1909. I wish we had a better camera. It's a 1909, $2.50 gold Indian. So that's before the creation of the Federal Reserve. And what the Federal Reserve has done is get rid of 99% of the value of the dollar.
Starting point is 01:44:12 It's not a way for us. It keeps people from being able to really accumulate wealth. And because they are anxious to be able to pay this back, to monetize the debt by saying, well, with inflation, we can pay it back with cheaper dollars. But they don't even have to worry about that as long as they've got this fiat currency they can just keep printing. And so when you tell people, don't worry, the Federal Reserve is going to rearrange the deck chairs on the Titanic and everybody just parties on.
Starting point is 01:44:39 And so you see the drudge report. There's a big champagne glass up at the top. Let's party on. It's like it's 1999 there's absolutely no uh concern about these people going to bring down inflation without triggering a recession says the washington post well good luck with that hope that hope that's true but my concern again is you know when you look at the long-term value you look at what the gold does hold its value long term but the other thing about it is that we've got to get out of the dollar system because of the CBDC. Now, you mentioned Bitcoin.
Starting point is 01:45:13 I've talked earlier this week about how focused they are on Bitcoin. And in terms of manipulating markets, they can manipulate, and they do, the gold, the silver market, but they also manipulate the Bitcoin market as well. It's got a small market cap for these people it's very easy for these people to come in and manipulate it and they've got all kinds of tools at their disposal uh it could be anything that they're going to do but they're elizabeth warren is flat out focused on getting rid of cryptocurrency and she's got the Biden administration focused on that with her as well. And if we're not careful, they're going to come after cash. They'll come after anything that is outside of their dollar. And so it is important to push back against that,
Starting point is 01:45:54 but it's also important to have a variety of things that are going to be something that's going to keep you out of this system as they redesign it and i like to physically have something in my possession because i'm just too concerned about what can be done with crypto and with manipulation so well you have jamie demon uh testifying before elizabeth warren and he's done this many times i do not trust this man he goes out and he'll he'll say something uh counter to bitcoin something derogatory uh he'll dismiss it and then you find out later that his bank and uh you know entities associated with jp morgan are buying it so he's dropping the price and i don't know how much of that is built into his testimony but it's pretty disgusting and you know you you
Starting point is 01:46:44 talked about that uh the argument uh that a lot of crypto people will testimony, but it's pretty disgusting. And, you know, you, you talked about that, uh, the argument, uh, that a lot of crypto people will say, well, actually it's the dollar and it's cash. Yeah. So we should ban that, you know, but that's not the answer either. I totally, totally get that. Yeah. You know, there's another tweet from a gold telegraph. I thought it was interesting. The federal reserve force forecast three rate cuts next year as inflation is still way above the target of 2%. The economic machine is broken it's starting to make sense why cbdc's are coming so fast yeah isn't see this is the controlled demolition to bring in the central bank digital currency yes and they're going to go after bitcoin i don't know how much damage they can do to bitcoin but always look this is a sleight of hand. Whenever they're going to release
Starting point is 01:47:25 something new into the ecosystem, whether it's a spot Bitcoin ETF or whatever through the security exchange commission, getting all the approvals for the mainline financial behemoth to buy in, always watch for them to try to bring it down first. And I don't know what that's what they're doing, but it makes sense to me. It's an old trick. They use it all the time. They get their clients in and then they go out and they cheerlead for it. Bitcoin is, it can be manipulated. It's actually harder to do than gold, in my opinion, because of the, there can't be any new Bitcoin put into the system. They do manipulate it. They do it through the public relations they do it through like the testimony in front of elizabeth warren in my opinion um and i don't know what that means
Starting point is 01:48:10 um i do like bitcoin we talk about it um there's a lot of i loved crypto i like crypto technology david but again it's it's there's so much volatility over there i don't i'm not telling anybody to go get into it i think it's good to understand but the reason that you and I talk every week is because we're not really talking about investments. We're talking about the overall historical implications of a dying dollar. We don't want that. You and I don't want that to happen because it's going to hurt people. But we're trying to get people that are listening and are tuning in that are aware that getting outside of the system is the answer. Because having physical things that you trade that are outside of the system is the answer because having physical
Starting point is 01:48:45 things that you trade that are outside of the banking system because the banking system is very volatile I never tell people to close out their accounts but you need to be aware that there's things that could happen in this country like bail-ins freezing your account there is a a little known bit of history after the 2008-2009 crash, the debacle, where we had TARP funds. Just after that, David, I watched, this was on 60 Minutes, and it just didn't get a lot of coverage. But you would have teams of people from the FDIC that would go in at night and take over a bank, wear the uniforms, and let everybody go. And they would have the uniforms on. They would take over the bank. Those banks were repatriated, basically
Starting point is 01:49:31 nationalized by the FDIC. Major banks all over the country, and they did this quietly as to not cause a banking panic. This happened all over. They would secretly, so you would go and your bank would still be open, and you think you're're talking but there was all the tellers and everybody operating there were fdic employees wow wow that's amazing well you know it is interesting because when we look at um we look at jamie demon and of course he's the ceo of jp morgan but he's acting exactly like the namesake of it you know like jp morgan himself as he's manipulating these things and lying to people as people pointed out that, oh, okay. So, uh, uh, crypto is for criminals is, is that why you got your own coin? And, um, and as far as criminals, look at the billions of dollars that you've had to pay in, in criminal, uh, fines and other things like that. But in the, at the same time, when you look at the way JP
Starting point is 01:50:21 Morgan is namesake manipulated, the financial system got us you look at the way J.P. Morgan, his namesake, manipulated the financial system, got us the Federal Reserve and everything, there's now this thing. I don't know if you – this is the first time I saw this, Tony. They started talking about this in July, the Basel III endgame regulations. I thought, whoa, does that sound like that's something from the Bank of International Settlements? And, yeah, it is. And it's under the guise, Tonyony of saying we're going to take care of we've got to control these big banks because they're dangerous right and so we've got to have if you've got assets of 100 billion dollars or more uh we're going to uh put some other capital
Starting point is 01:50:57 some additional capital requirements on you and of course the people who are pushing this new stuff uh daily caller has got a an article about it the people who are pushing this new stuff, Daily Caller has got an article about it. The people who are pushing it are the people like Elizabeth Warren, J.P. Morgan, these other people. They keep saying, well, we've got to get these big banks under control. And so we're going to create the Consumer Financial Protection Board. And yet, what did that do? That made it impossible for the small and medium-sized banks to do business. It made it harder for small businesses to get loans and things like that.
Starting point is 01:51:25 This is, they call it end game. That's what they call it. Basel three end game regulations. And the end game is I think they want to end small business and small banks, uh, because that's what this is going to do.
Starting point is 01:51:37 They're going to double the capital requirements for that, which means that they're going to go up in interest rates for everybody. And, and it's going to put some of these smaller banks out of business. So just arbitrarily raise the regulations and the capital requirements. Sorry you don't meet that anymore, and that's the way they bring in the FDIC goons to shut them down. Well, it's just like to go back to history.
Starting point is 01:51:59 The crash of 1907 was orchestrated to help public opinion turn towards a new central bank. Of course, they didn't call it that. They had the meeting at Jekyll Island on November 22nd, 1910. Funny thing about J.P. Morgan too, something I noticed, his lifespan, he was born in 1837. His lifespan was the exact amount of time that we didn't have a central bank. He died in 1913. So from year one of not having a central bank, Andrew Jackson said, I killed the bank. He wanted that on his tombstone. He called him a den of vipers and thieves
Starting point is 01:52:32 and got rid of the bank. And we didn't have one from 1837 to 1913. And always a crisis was used to precipitate the will to do that. And they actually had some real skullduggery setting that up too david i mean you've yeah i know your documentary it's a wonderful lie it's coming up on that time of year again i did bring it through on on christmas eve uh actually december 20th going into the 23rd 24th uh when when congress went home they used a lot of skull
Starting point is 01:53:01 and they also actually opposed it those who had written the bill like aldridge opposed that sort of when it's too strong it's too regulatory it's very very brilliant the way that they did that and uh i think this is what you're more and more consolidation and if you study you know a conspiracy or if you want to call it that if you want to study the conspiracy theory of history it's all about consolidation so it would make sense that the the bank uh international bank of banks is the bis and as a matter of fact a little known fact the uh the gold that was turned in in 1933 when franklin roosevelt said turn in your gold you know had the price of gold at 20 an ounce and once he accumulated all that he figured he was going to get they raised raised the price to $35 an ounce. Well, that gold went to Basel, Switzerland, to the Bank of International Settlements.
Starting point is 01:53:51 Yeah, did they put it in a sealed train with Vladimir Lenin? I think they're waiting for it. They waited a few more years. Yeah, that's right. They had to fund communism. That's true. It truly is amazing. It really is a den of
Starting point is 01:54:07 vipers and thieves and uh andrew jackson was right about that wasn't he and it is amazing you know david stockman when i talked to him and he's written subsequent articles about this as well the destruction of the american middle class if you divide it out we just had a congressman say well you know it's a it divides out to $100,000 debt per American that we've got out here. And he says, when you look at the fact that you had this massive quantitative easing and the lowering of interest rates and all the rest of this stuff, and look at how that transferred money to the upper smallest percentage, the 1% or the 1% of the 1%, the 0.1%,
Starting point is 01:54:45 and how much wealth they gained at the expense of other people because they're in the stock market. It's one of the reasons, I guess, that Trump and Biden constantly talk about the stock market. That is their metric for success. That's a big part of the wealth transfer when they pump that up. But as he's pointing out, this is destroying the middle class, and it's not just
Starting point is 01:55:06 the quantitative easing and the interest rates and other things like that but it was also the the trump trillions that were put in there with the covid stuff that's what david stockman talked about when he came on here talking about that and he's got a book coming out in january talking about how um you know trump Trump disrupted the economy and he calls it the war on capitalism. And it truly was a war on capitalism because you're not even going to really be a good thing for the economy, even through the stock market. It's just a temporary sugar high.
Starting point is 01:55:36 What they're doing is by laying this kind of debt across society, they really are enslaving us and taking away everything out of the society. And so this is something that's going to continue. And we've seen with all of the debt policies, we've seen how gold is kind of hung in there. But again, the thing I keep coming back to is to completely restructure the financial system and to completely restructure that financial system and to you know to completely restructure that with CBDC so my instinct is to hang on to something that is physical and traditional and that has really been there for a long time talk a little bit
Starting point is 01:56:16 about silver you know everybody keeps talking about how silver is down at such a small ratio has there been any move in silver recently or any indication of a silver changing we saw some uh we saw bitcoin go up we saw gold go up in response to this news and interest rates were going to go down because everybody saw that as being inflationary what about silver is that moved at all not like it should yeah i mean looking at uh goldprice.org right now and so i keep the spot prices rotating uh 24.17 so 24 17 luciferian bankster notes make one troy ounce of silver on the spot the global spot price uh that is cheap and historically uh i'm gonna have to get my calculator out but i think we're probably like
Starting point is 01:56:58 eight it takes like 87 or so ounces of silver to make one ounce of gold. And all throughout human history, that number has been completely different. So even going back to ancient Rome and the Egyptians, it's usually 10 to 15 to maybe sometimes 20 to one at the most. And only in our era where you have maybe error, only in our era when you have maybe error only in our error when we when we have a central banking and the markets are so skewed and value so skewed and we really don't know what houses any value do you jump to crazy numbers like 87 ounces of silver to make one ounce of gold that makes no sense i mean even geologically david it takes uh it's there's 17 ounces of silver for every one ounce of gold estimated in the ground.
Starting point is 01:57:47 So why would you have in the third dimension, like, right, you know, a developed mind and process? How can it be 87? During the crash and scandemic, the beginning of the first quarter of 2020, it was 125 ounces to one ounce of gold so it doesn't make any sense when you have you know the i was uh one years old and it was a fifty dollars an ounce not again wow 40 almost 44 years ago wow it was it was uh fifty dollars an ounce that makes no sense knowing what we know about the debasement of the dollar the debt of the u.s at the time was less than a trillion we're at 33.5 trillion and climbing rapidly we have 130 percent debt to gdp ratio why is silver so cheap these are open especially when it's the most
Starting point is 01:58:37 thermoconductive metal i'm a cheerleader for or silver not even as an investment but just look how crazy that number is it's so cheap right now um but you still you still won't find mainstream analysts talking about it because it there's something wrong with it and i do know that you talk about jamie demon who's the largest holder of silver in the world it's jv morgan he's waiting for something to happen isn't he and they're accumulating the physical yeah that's right's right. Yeah, that's interesting. I guess maybe we should start looking at what he accumulates rather than looking at what Nancy Pelosi's been a good bellwether,
Starting point is 01:59:13 her husband, his portfolio. If you mirrored him in the stock market, you'd do pretty well. Just hammering away. Exactly. He's hammering away at it. So, yeah, maybe it's J.P. Morgan that you need to look at. Tell us a little bit about what is happening as we run up into Christmas. We talked a little bit about it last week when you were on.
Starting point is 01:59:30 You got some commemorative things there, perhaps, and some other gifts. What kind of gift ideas do you have at wisewolf.gold? Well, definitely anything that you need for gold and silver, you can buy direct through DavidKnight.Gold. But we also have our membership program. And as little as $35 a month or just one-time purchase, you can get Wolf Cub, and that's for kids. And Melissa put together a great newsletter. Actually, the team helped, too. But we have a newsletter for Wolf Cub, and it tells a story.
Starting point is 02:00:03 It has some crossword puzzles. Yours truly did the questions for the crosswords like fiat is, you know, fake. You can look that up. I don't want to ruin the crossword, but you can, and it's good for, it's fun for kids. And we're going to be putting next year. I got a lot of attention. I'm going to pay to, to the Wolf Cub for, you know, just history, different types of coins, even stuff like, you know, the Indian had pennies and things that are neat, you know, just history, different types of coins, even stuff like, you know, the Indian head pennies and things that are neat, you know, because those are still copper. Copper is going
Starting point is 02:00:29 to be in the news, I promise you, next year, folks. All the precious metals will be, the resources will be there, but we're focusing on gold and silver. Wolfpack has so many great things happening right now. I'm going to be putting some uh christmas rounds i know those are already going out uh one ounce christmas commemorative silver rounds and and fractional coins and uh we stayed ahead of the market we bought some gold uh early so we've still got supply on some of the fractional stuff um but the plan is and we're really thankful is to grow next year continue to um you know add members so we can buy collectively for everyone, better deals and better supply. So that's my goal right now. I'm kind of floating back between Branson and North Texas with our two locations and
Starting point is 02:01:14 just keeping the supply chain open. It's not as easy as it may sound. There's not a lot of availability in product like there used to be when I started this business. All right. I imagine so. Well, it's always great to talk to you and again david knight dot gold tony has set that up to take you to wise wolf dot gold and he's got some great programs there where you can do this gradually uh where you can train kids with a wolf pack and we can also get information because he's
Starting point is 02:01:40 building a little community there you get, exchanging it with other people as well as gradually saving. But, of course, he can get you gold and silver in any quantity, large or small. And that's one of the key things about that. Tony, it's always great talking to you. And, again, nobody knows what the future is going to be, but we need to do what we can. The older I get, the more conservative I get because, you know, when you're young, you make a lot of mistakes, don't you? And so it's, uh, I've had experiences with, uh, some of the, uh, some of the more speculative investments. That's why I get more conservative as I get older.
Starting point is 02:02:13 Uh, it is so good to talk to you. And, uh, again, David Knight, I goal to take you to Tony and let him know that you came through us. Thank you so much, Tony. Appreciate it. Thank you, David. Appreciate it. Okay. Folks are going to be right back here news now at apsradionews.com or get the aps radio app and never miss another story Thank you. And now, The David Knight Show. Well, I've got a couple of comments here. On Rockfin, Wes Robertson says, Ken Starr's vaudevillian schtick was a smokescreen to hide the fact that Slick Willie was involved in the biggest tech transfer to China in U.S. history. Yeah, absolutely.
Starting point is 02:03:44 I remember when Rush Limbaugh used to have um uh he had that guy that did parody songs and he did secret asian man johnny wong and transferring all that stuff to china interesting that everybody knew that interesting that nothing was ever done about that you know uh again ken star is not going to do anything about it uh they they might impeach him but they're not going to bring up the big issues like that we see the same thing you see history repeating itself now as well uh on rumble blue the kid part two hobby lobby has black santa claus for sale to show that they're not racist that's exactly right yeah hobby lobby and of course um you know as uh megan kelly us, we all know that Santa Claus is white.
Starting point is 02:04:28 What else do we know for sure about Santa Claus? It's crazy. But anyway, and on Rockfin, Jason Parker, thank you very much for the tip. He says, your album is great, David. Thank you for the beautiful music. Well, thank you for the compliment. I really do appreciate it and for the beautiful music. Well, thank you for the compliment. I really do appreciate it. And for the tip. And by the way, folks,
Starting point is 02:04:45 the album is, um, at the David night, uh, show.com. And if you go to the merchandise thing, you'll see it as available as a digital download. Uh,
Starting point is 02:04:55 so, uh, please tell your friends about it. If you like it, uh, we would appreciate that, uh, especially as it come up in the Christmas season.
Starting point is 02:05:03 Everybody has, uh, these are traditional songs, but we've got a little bit different take on it and reorchestrate it, reimagine it. So it's a little bit, it kind of freshens up the classics that are there. And, you know, we all listen to, it's nice to have the nostalgic songs that you listen to, but it's also nice to hear them in a little bit different way and uh as you listen to christmas music you may want to have something that's going to freshen it up a little bit and maybe it'll become a new tradition for you uh let's talk a little bit about what's going on with politics we've got marjorie taylor green warns that maga would revolt that's what she says
Starting point is 02:05:39 if if haley is uh nikki or nuki Haley is made the vice presidential candidate for the Trump ticket. And, um, she says, um, Michael would revolt if Nikki Haley were to be even be given an internship and Trump's next administration. I don't understand why they didn't have any problem with all the cabinet picks that he had in the first place, but why are they so concerned about Nikki Haley there as vice president? Trump already made Fauci president in 2020. Did they not notice that? How many times have I said that Trump stepped down and made Fauci the
Starting point is 02:06:20 president do what he says, he's going to determine everything that's going to happen. We're going to be ruled by bureaucrats. I said that when we were running up to the election in 2020. I said, why would I care about the election? Trump turned us over to the bureaucracy, being ruled by bureaucrats with Fauci as president. So why do I care about any of this stuff?
Starting point is 02:06:41 But of course, MAGA, which hated all that, hated the lockdown, hated the vaccine, hated the mask, all the rest of the stuff. Oh, but they love Trump. But he made Fauci president. I wouldn't be surprised at all if he did the same thing with Nikki Haley. Marjorie Taylor Greene goes on to say she represents the neocon establishment America, the America last wing of the Republican Party that we're absolutely done with. Well, I think she looks just like Trump's cabinet.
Starting point is 02:07:12 As a matter of fact, Trump picked her. And I remember, you know, off air, I said to Roger Stone, I said, why in the world would Trump ever put Nikki Haley in for anything? Put her in as UN ambassador. I said, this is typical of what he has done with everybody in his cabinet. He put neocon warmongers in, generals all over the place. He put Goldman Sachs bankers in all over the place to run everything.
Starting point is 02:07:42 He sold out to the Republican establishment. He sold out to the neocons. He sold out to the globalists at Davos, and everything he did in 2020 was a sellout to the globalists. But as all this is happening, he's having a lot of fun, and so are his supporters with the dictator comments. People say, oh, he wants to be a dictator and everything. Yeah, I'll be a dictator before day and all the rest of stuff so they love it he's he's joking about it the problem is as i
Starting point is 02:08:09 said you know just like with nikki haley oh he's gonna make her vice president he made fauci president he's gonna be a dictator did you not notice what happened in 2020 how they were dictating everything and of course they are clever about it clever enough to say that we're not going to issue the orders directly. We're going to make recommendations and suggestions. And then if you don't follow our recommendations and suggestions, we'll take that money away. It's kind of like what we were talking about before with social media. Well, it's a nice social media company you got there.
Starting point is 02:08:41 It'd be a shame if anything were to happen to it. And so they come in and say, well, that's a nice program you got funded. It'd be a shame if anything were to happen to it. And so they come in and say, well, that's a nice program you got funded by the federal government. It'd be a shame if anything were to happen to it. That's the way they do this. And so Trump is in Iowa. He's very angry because the governor there, Kim Reynolds, has endorsed DeSantis. And so he's there at his rallies trashing her. And what he says is, we love loyalty.
Starting point is 02:09:11 We, we. I love how these politicians refer to themselves as we. We love loyalty. As a matter of fact, that's the only thing he cares about. When the oppositional
Starting point is 02:09:23 mainstream press is looking at him, they say, well, he's going to fill his cabinet with loyalists. And as I said the other day, I said, well, don't they all? I mean, they all do that. But nobody loves loyalty and demands loyalty more than Trump does. It's the only thing he cares about. And he says, we love loyalty.
Starting point is 02:09:42 He portrayed Reynolds as unfaithful to him. And he says, she's the least popular governor in the country, but I will be your ethanol champion. As I said, I went to a convention of think tanks when I was doing the kind of work that I showed you earlier. And one of the things they had there, they said, we're going to have a party. It's going to be done as a speakeasy. And if you want to get in, uh, you knock on the door and we'll open up the little thing and you say, I'm here for the ethanol subsidy.
Starting point is 02:10:13 Well, maybe that needs to be prohibited. It's ethanol subs. Everybody understands that it's, it's a bad thing. Uh, but this is one of the things that the Republican party, they'd like to feed it that trough for the climate stuff uh even uh the typical climate grifters in the democrat party don't even like the ethanol thing but the farmers in iowa like it it's a payoff to them but when we talk about grifting trump's got a legal defense fund and um it, it's raised, um, not as much money as he would have liked to have raised as his defense fund has only raised $1.6 million over
Starting point is 02:10:50 the last six months they've spent though, less than $30,000. Uh, so they're hanging onto the money, but almost all the money that they have spent has been on Mar-a-Lago. Not that he's paying his mortgage, but I guess in a sense he is because he's held some lavish parties at Mar-a-Lago and Trump used the donated money from his legal defense fund
Starting point is 02:11:15 to pay for these parties at Mar-a-Lago. So in a sense, what he's doing is he's laundering the payments back to himself. No problem, right? A grifter's going to grift. That's what he's always done. That's what he did with Save America. He made $250 million off of his supporters after the election where he changed the rules,
Starting point is 02:11:35 where he made sure that it was going to be a mail-in election. And he made $250 million off of that Save America thing. I don't know how much money Alex Jones made off of Stop the Steal, but he made $250 million off of that Save America thing. I don't know how much money Alex Jones made off of Stop the Steal. But he made $250 million. And so now he's up to it again. He raised $1.6 million, and he's paying for parties at Mar-a-Lago. The group that put this together is a political nonprofit called the Patriot Legal Defense Fund. Except they're not paying any defense legal expenses
Starting point is 02:12:07 for any of the patriots at January the 6th. I thought Trump loved loyalty. Is he loyal to those people whose pockets he picked, who he sent into a trap? Yeah, it's the Democrats who laid the trap. He's the one who pushed the people into it. So the first periodic financial report they submitted to the IRS on Wednesday showed they only got 1.6 million in receipts,
Starting point is 02:12:34 and about a million of that came from one group, one couple, gave him a million dollars. There's somebody who has been connected with QAnon as well. And so he got $600,000 for receipts. But even though they haven't spent too much money, most of the money that they have spent, again, they spent $28,000. But $18,000 of that, the majority of it, was to rent a banquet hall from Trump at mar-a-lago back in november and so uh not a penny for the january sixers and this patriot legal defense fund uh as by the way you know so it
Starting point is 02:13:16 takes in 28 000 he spends 18 000 on a party there that uh he pays himself for the party. Amazing. Yeah, let's have a party and it's going to cost me $18,000 and I'll take that money on my legal defense fund. And so you say, OK, so he spent $10,000 on legal defense and $18,000 on a party at Mar-a-Lago. No, he didn't spend a single penny on legal defense. I don't know what he spent the other 10,000 on. They don't say here, uh, but the fund reported no legal expenses. The legal defense fund did not spend a penny on legal defenses, but did spend nearly $20,000 on a party at Mar-a-Lago.
Starting point is 02:14:01 And this is really, again, when you, when you look at Trump and how obsessed he is with money, with loyalty, with these other things, he had absolutely no loyalty to his co-defendants in the Georgia thing. And even if he doesn't really like them, it wasn't a smart move to not give them any money at all for their defense fund. And he didn't give any money to Rudy Giuliani. He didn't give any money to Jenna Ellis or any of the other people there. And so a lot of people have said that's not a good harbinger of what's going to happen because if these people are left on their own to fend for themselves without any money for their legal defense,
Starting point is 02:14:45 they might just turn against him, which Jenna Ellis appears to have done. So the million-dollar donor was a foundation, a living trust. Court records show that it belongs to a couple, last name is Borland, ardent supporters for QAnon and because of that the Trump campaign canceled a fundraiser back in October 2020 because at that point in time they didn't want to be affiliated with QAnon but now the Borlands are back and gave a million of the 1.6 million dollars in his defense fund to him but again not paying a single penny for any legal expenses. The Supreme Court is agreeing to hear a January the 6th case that could affect Trump's prosecution.
Starting point is 02:15:33 This is not something he's directly brought, but we've seen a lot of people who were charged with obstructing an official proceeding, looking at long jail sentences. And so several of these people have appealed to the Supreme Court, as they should. It's an injustice. It truly is. And so in one of these cases, they have agreed here, one of Joseph Fisher, seeking to dismiss a charge accusing him of obstructing an official proceeding. If he wins or loses either way, it's going to affect the others who have brought this up. Fisher, by the way, has a federal public defender. Because, you know, he's got no money.
Starting point is 02:16:18 He doesn't have a legal defense fund like Trump does. And again, Trump loves loyalty, but only in one direction, only if that loyalty is to him. So he's got a public defender who is taking this to the Supreme Court. I hope he wins. But again, just having a lot of money for lawyers, as Trump does, doesn't necessarily mean you got the judgment to pick a good lawyer. So as we're talking about legal issues and the impeachment of Biden, which just took the next step, it was now, we have an inquiry that has now been authorized by the house.
Starting point is 02:17:15 Mike Johnson has said from the very beginning that not only were they going to do an impeachment investigation of Biden, an impeachment of Biden, but he said it was actually required because of his crimes. But again, the crimes that he's focused on are not the crimes against Americans, really. They're the crimes against his political opponents, the graft and the corruption, which we all knew about before the 2020 election. But they played a lot of games to cover that up. And I think that this is also a distraction, again, from this 702, which many of us see as a betrayal of the Fourth Amendment and the American voters.
Starting point is 02:17:44 But we'll see what happens with that. That's still in the works. But it's also going to be a distraction away from these 2020 politics and policies that they had a hand in, and nobody's going to bring any charges for that. He deserved this a long time ago, but there's a lot more important crimes than what they're going to be coming after him for, just like we talked about with Ken Starr doing a pass and all this stuff.
Starting point is 02:18:10 A 221 to 212 vote along party lines. Some people evidently not there. So far, the inquiry has been two pronged. One of them looking at the Biden family's financial crimes. The other one on the weaponization of the Justice Department and the FBI against Americans. Perhaps against January the Sixers or whatever, but we'll wait and see exactly how far that goes and how broad that goes. The Biden administration, like the Trump administration before it, has been so contemptuous. And again, doing gun control by executive order,
Starting point is 02:18:46 piggybacking on to the precedent that Trump did. The unit party has never been more unified, quite frankly. We are very divided on personality, but in terms of policy, on the existential issues there, they're all together on that. And so as you look at the um uh the inquiry it looks like this is going to be something that's just going to be election year politics i don't think there's anything that's going to come out of it other than that hunter biden was
Starting point is 02:19:19 very defiant about this he gave a speech in capitol hill he goes to the capitol but he doesn't go inside he's subpoenaed to participate in deposition for part of a congressional hearing instead he shows up at the capitol says i'm not going to go there this trump attack machine is after me but i'm standing right here and the leftist media was eating that up mediaite is the story that you're looking at there look at that headline in a stunning news conference i watched it it was just boilerplate speech that was written for him by his daddy's speech writers and it was total nonsense but uh you know again mediaite does a story on it dr Drudge features it. I'm here today to acknowledge I've made mistakes in my life and I've wasted opportunities and privileges that I
Starting point is 02:20:11 was afforded. And for that, I'm responsible for that. I'm accountable. And for that, I'm making amends. What is he doing? I don't know what he's doing to make amends. Maybe Tucker could fill us in because they're such good friends. But I'm also here today to correct how the MAGA right has betrayed me for their political purposes. I am first and foremost a son, a father, a brother, a husband from a loving and supportive family. This reminds me, I talked about Gilbert Sullivan the other day. Reminds me of the Pirates of Penzance. You know, they have the policemen out there. When a criminal's not a burglar, he's contemplating the Brooks and he's thinking about his mother and all the rest of this stuff.
Starting point is 02:20:53 I mean, he's just, I'm just human like you. And of course he is. But he says, I'm proud to have earned degrees from Georgetown University and Yale. And I'm proud of my legal career, my business career. And so you've got Breitbart. Nolte says, yeah, I'm a victim. He says, this guy is a victim. He refused to pay child support, even while he was spending nearly a million dollars on sex and drugs,
Starting point is 02:21:26 $872,000 on hookers, on porn, and on sex clubs, while he fought tooth and nail to not pay any child support for his baby daughter. Yeah. So I don't know, when he says he's going to make amends, is he going to start paying some child support about this stuff? Um, so, uh, the media is, is quickly backfilling on it though. The New York times is, um, uh, fixing up the quotes, uh, from, from Hunter Biden about financial involvement and business dealings.
Starting point is 02:22:00 We saw his coma was coming out of the, uh, the meeting. He was, uh, challenged and debated by a reporter from The Washington Post, kind of as a self-appointed lawyer. They're going to do everything they can to defend this criminal family. And the Republicans are not going to focus on the big crimes. We'll be right back. Hear news now at APSradioNews.com or get the APS Radio app and never miss another story. La David Knight Show. All right, let's talk a little bit about what is going on with the pharmaceutical wars. I had this from a listener who said, just catching up on some of the show, heard about your blood pressure and arrhythmia issues.
Starting point is 02:23:44 And I just tell everybody, went to the doctor. Things are looking better. He says, I don't have any advice other than avoid most doctors and hospitals if possible. And, of course, this is coming from Handy, who works in EMS. He says, prayer and knowing no matter what happens to this body jesus will keep us is the best medicine that money can't buy and you're absolutely right handy but then he also says this about the the jabs he says people are still occasionally dropping dead here he says i think you're spot on regarding these jabs he He said, more sick and dead people and way less OB calls.
Starting point is 02:24:27 It's the new normal. I saw a 60-year-old male a few days ago who died while playing golf. He looked to be in great physical condition from what I could see. Another crew brought him into the ER while I was dropping off a patient. He says, I did ask the other crew if he took the vaccine. And the other crew said, well, we don't know, but probably. You see, they know as well. These are people, this is another crew.
Starting point is 02:24:56 They're all working EMS. And they see this stuff happening all the time. Everybody knows what's happening with this. Why is it that Trump and biden are leading the charge and all this and why is it that we only have people who are the um ones who've been pushing this stuff from the day one well we know why a green beret veteran uh talks about the army's letter to soldiers being discharged again you know they're desperate on recruiting and they made some gestures that might be interpreted by some people as wanting to pull this stuff back but he's not buying it
Starting point is 02:25:30 he said last month the army sent a letter to thousands of soldiers discharged for refusing to comply with a shot mandate he said the former soldiers who are involuntarily separated may request a correction for the military records, but he says it also states that individuals who desire to apply to return to service should contact their local recruiter. So he says the letter itself doesn't actually offer any policy change. He says instead, the Army talks about how proud it is of what they did it reiterated reiterates tries to evidently justify what they did he says it reiterates policies the army issued back in march of 2023 more importantly there is no actual apology in fact it's quite the opposite
Starting point is 02:26:20 they say we remain proud of the Army's response to the pandemic. Now, don't put yourself under people like this. They don't have the country's best interest at heart, as we see with what is happening with the wars everywhere, what the Pentagon is pushing. And they certainly don't have the best interest of their own soldiers at heart, do they? He says, this former Green Beret, says this is absurd. He said these policies that the Army is proud of led them to kick out around 2,000 soldiers, to mistreat many others, to deny soldiers their First Amendment religious freedoms,
Starting point is 02:27:06 to coerce them to take what lawyers have argued was an experimental drug that potentially left many injured by the vaccines. What they're so proud of was that they ignored basic common sense. They threatened and often destroyed the livelihoods of soldiers who volunteered to defend this nation and the constitution even with their lives well i think we could also add that not only were many injured but he died and these people destroyed the constitution and they destroyed their military readiness which they're now trying to clamor back that's why they and a lot of the hospitals who kick people out because they mandated
Starting point is 02:27:46 these vaccines, you either get this or leave. All right, I'll leave. Now they're desperate to have these people back because they decimated their institutions. He says the unvaccinated were forced to wear masks, not allowed to use gyms during certain hours designated only by the vaccinated for the vaccinated and were subjected to weekly invasive covid tests. These individuals were at times put into quarantine for extended periods, not allowed to leave their barracks or their ships. And in some training environments, unvaccinated soldiers were required to wear red wristbands that said unvaccinated and red tape on their gear to indicate that their gear even was somehow unclean.
Starting point is 02:28:32 And so this guy who was in the army says, this is exactly the opposite of what you want to do. You want to try to create cohesiveness and a team. He said these tactics, these policies pitted service members against one another when it is vital that service members have had to will have each other's backs in times of war this is one of the reasons why they said they were putting um men in high heels and let them walk around so they would get used to women and trannies and all the rest of this stuff. We've got to have cohesiveness.
Starting point is 02:29:08 You know, you've got to walk a mile in their red high heels, that type of thing. And yet they did just the opposite of all that with the vaccines because that was not what that agenda was about at all. It wasn't about creating cohesiveness. It's not about military readiness. As a matter of fact, the DMED database was about military readiness, and it was to monitor if that was being impacted with a biological or chemical attack.
Starting point is 02:29:34 It showed the truth, and they knew that the bioweapon, that the biological attack was the jab. And so they modified the database. The DOD made it extremely difficult for the unvaccinated to progress in their career. These policies seem to punish the unvaccinated. That's what a jab. Cinda Arden said, it looks like you're trying to create two classes of people in society.
Starting point is 02:29:59 Yep. Yep. That's what it is. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. She smiles and laughs about that. Religious exemptions were either blanketly ignored or denied,
Starting point is 02:30:07 which is an absolute denial of our First Amendment rights of freedom of worship and a violation of the Religious Freedom Restoration Act. The Army ignored its own medical policy. They did not accept medical exemptions based on prior immunity or infection. They contradicted their policy, and he quotes the Army regulation here. And so, you know, 2,000 in the Army, but over 8,000 service members were discharged. Many of those kicked out did not get an honorable discharge, but rather a general discharge, which means that they don't get all their VA benefits.
Starting point is 02:30:41 They don't get their educational benefits. It affects their job applications, especially if they want to get all their VA benefits. They don't get their educational benefits. It affects their job applications, especially if they want to get a job within the government, which I think even though for their own purposes, I understand that's difficult on them, but in a sense, I think that is a silver lining for the rest of us because we need good people. We need good people who have a backbone, who have a conscience,
Starting point is 02:31:04 who will stand up to an agenda like this. We need those people outside of this corrupt enemy of the American people, the government. And so, in a sense, I think it's better for society, if not for these individuals, that they are not eligible for, you know, you get special preference if you're in the military, if you want to get a job for the federal government. But it's good that we have these people outside of the federal government. It is not just the military, he says, that are responsible for this treatment.
Starting point is 02:31:40 Members of Congress. And he's right about that. Are they going to investigate themselves? No. As a matter of fact, they don't want to talk about Trump or Biden or anything because again, it's going to come back to them. So Congress is going to be quiet about this Republican and Democrat. Understand that most of, um, if not all of the members of Congress who
Starting point is 02:32:01 sat by and rubber stamped all this stuff for Trump and for Biden are still there. Most of the people who were there did rubber-stamp this. They didn't come in that recently. And about the only person who stood up to any of this stuff was Thomas Massey, and Trump wanted to end his career, was furious at him. He said, no, I want people to go on the record about this. This is ridiculous to spend $4 trillion. And the other things that are being done.
Starting point is 02:32:27 Members of Congress are told by their constituents what was happening to those in the armed forces. Yet for years, the majority of those who vocally praise service members and thank them for their service weren't there to advocate for these people. Yeah, just like Sean Hannity. I am so sick of that guy. What a hypocrite he is. to advocate for these people. Yeah, just like Sean Hannity, you know. I am so sick of that guy. What a hypocrite he is. And, of course, he's now become a hypocrite on other pro-life issues as well. He doesn't care about the lives of the military. Every time he gets somebody on, oh, thank you for your service,
Starting point is 02:32:57 if they're in the military. And yet he's the first person to want to send them off to war. He talks about being pro-life, and yet, oh, these babies getting in the way of our election. Let's get rid of these babies. So how do we fix this, says the Green Beret leader. He says, well, because DOD leadership has proven ineffective at policing itself, Congress has to step up, and they have to hold military leaders accountable.
Starting point is 02:33:22 So they'll have more hearings, more grandstanding perhaps, but they'll do nothing. And it's not just the Department of Defense leadership that was ineffective, but as he points out, Congress was as well. Congress didn't do anything. So we're going to have to get,
Starting point is 02:33:36 you know, that's why I say the federal government is done. Focus locally. That's where you still have a chance. You still have a chance to have an honest election. You still have a chance to have an honest election. You still have a chance to have an effect. And it's where your vote is going to be the least diluted of all things, where it's the most diluted of all things is the federal government.
Starting point is 02:33:58 If it's even counted representatives must also hold regional hearings on this topic, he said. And so we need to, um, he talks about the people that were kicked out. He calls them involuntary veterans kicked out before they wanted to retire. So he said they need to get active. They need to talk about this. And I agree.
Starting point is 02:34:17 I think everybody needs to push back on this. I don't think that anything's going to to be done but we need to not be silent about it um because who knows you know it's when we're talking about this we're not really expecting that the congress men and women or the president are going to do anything about it but we're actually talking to our fellow citizens and trying to educate them as to what's going on. That's the real issue here. It's waking up that critical mass. We're not going to get these.
Starting point is 02:34:50 These politicians are not asleep. They're corrupt. And so we need to wake up the people who are asleep and not paying any attention, the people who have been lied to by the media. There must be a sincere apology. He said, I guarantee that something like this will never happen again. Well, that would be nice, not only from the Pentagon, but from all these politicians at every level, including the guys who are now the front runners for presidency. Half the population thinks that masks should be mandatory on public transportation in the UK. And one fifth of them want a lockdown right now, right now.
Starting point is 02:35:28 Isn't that amazing? That's how effective this propaganda has been. And they knew they could do it. You know, we had, um, they, they started doing this, uh, back in, uh, 2002, I think there was some flu one, one year, there's some flu going around. And so they scared everybody in Asia to death and they all started wearing masks and now they still wear masks. And so there's going to be a really large percentage of the population that is going to continue to do that. In the UK, it's half of the people, 45% say that masks should be mandatory on public transport. And again, this is why we want to have cars. They really would have locked us down big time if we hadn't had cars. Cars are the way that we were able to circumvent a lot of this stuff, but there would have been no travel whatsoever. If we were reliant
Starting point is 02:36:20 on public transportation, on airports, planes, trains, that type of thing. Currently, there are no legal COVID-19 restrictions in place in the UK. Why is that? Well, it's because there's obviously not a pandemic. And nobody is dying. Nobody was dying when they put these measures in. That's one of the things we talk about all the time. Isn't it amazing?
Starting point is 02:36:45 You know, China locks us down because you've got to, they claim that a couple hundred people out of 1.4 billion died with something. And we can't verify that even, but they weren't even making a claim of it being an epidemic, but then everybody starts locking it down. And we did that. We did that. The UK did that locked everybody down when nobody was dying. did that. Locked everybody down when nobody was dying. And so why not lock everybody down when nobody is dying?
Starting point is 02:37:08 45% support the re-imposition of masks. 16% of those saying they strongly support having to wear face masks on public transport. 8% strongly recommending the rule of six, which limits the amount of people who can meet outside. Sounds like something from The Prisoner, doesn't it? The rule of six. So millennials are the most likely to back these restrictions. Sorry about that, Travis. It's your generation.
Starting point is 02:37:39 Crazy. And so 30% of them want to reintroduce the rule of six. Gen Z comes in excess of people that are 18 to 24, more supportive of the closing of nightclubs. Gen X aged 41 to 55, baby boomers 56 to 74, they're both at 36. Gen Z supported closing nightclubs,
Starting point is 02:38:03 27% for both Gen X and baby boomers you know and then they talk about the silent generation aged 75 and up the least supportive of any of this stuff 80 of them opposing it and so when you look at this the other thing i think that's interesting about this let me talk about a generational breakdown demographic breakdown who supports closing everything down and the younger you are the more susceptible you are to this because this. Let me talk about generational breakdown, demographic breakdown, who supports closing everything down. And the younger you are, the more susceptible you are to this, because again, it's the brainwashing of the schools. But I think it's interesting that, you notice they use all these terminology. They have the silent generation, the Gen X, the baby boomers, all this stuff. But
Starting point is 02:38:43 things like the silent generations that's straight out of the fourth turning isn't it interesting i continually find it interesting that everybody uses the terminology of the fourth turning and they also know that we're in the midst of a fourth turning uh war and economic unrest but you know always economic unrest usually war, and all this culminating in 2030, and yet nobody wants to talk about that. They'll all talk about the demographic breakdown of this stuff, but they don't want to talk about the overall context of the time that we're in
Starting point is 02:39:20 and how we're in this generational cycle that is happening. They'll talk about the different generations but they won't talk about the ultimate truth of where we are in this which is the fourth turning and it's because the people who are running the media and I'm not saying that daily skeptic is necessarily turning away from this but again it's the people who run the media the people run the government they don't really want you to know about this so we're gonna take a quick break and we'll be right back © transcript Emily Beynon Thank you. © transcript Emily Beynon Thank you. you're listening to the david knight show uh bethany n on rock fan thank you very much for the tip.
Starting point is 02:42:07 She says, thank you for another great show, David. Merry Christmas, and may God continue to bless you and your family. Thank you very much. God has really blessed us. And thank you to all the listeners who have been such a blessing to us. We're coming up to the third year anniversary. And it was, when I got fired, i really wasn't sure what i was going to do as i said before i really expected to be fired in early november when i started opposing
Starting point is 02:42:31 all this sting stuff and you know stop the steel and all the rest of that stuff but um so you know i was expecting it then still didn't have any plans frankly but it came as a surprise a week before christmas and uh then we just had people start sending us money. We weren't even on PayPal at the time, and they sent emails to us. Fortunately, and it was a real blessing from God that I didn't have, I had been using for quite a while, an email publicly for people to contact us that was outside of the email that I had inside InfoWars there. So people were able to send email to us and they just sent money via PayPal. And I didn't know what to do to pick this up, but we looked at it. It's like, okay, yeah. And then people started
Starting point is 02:43:21 doing that. So that's when we decided to do the show. And so the first show we fired on, I was fired at, well, I say we, because Travis was as well. And so, and Whistler was doing work for them as well. So all three of us got the ax. And weren't really sure what we were going to do, except move back here was what we wanted to do. And so, again, people started sending contributions, and we started the program then on that following Monday. And it's been a real blessing, and I thank all of you for doing that. It's a difficult way to fund this program.
Starting point is 02:43:57 We don't really look for advertisers. We've got a couple. Tony supports us, APS Radio. But for the most part, it has been people who have just voluntarily supported this. And so we really do appreciate that. And the number of people that download this on a regular basis, we would not be as rich as Tucker Carlson, but we'd be doing just fine and have more money we knew what to do with if we had a small fraction of people who download the show uh pay for it but um we have a few people who are very loyal and have uh really supported us heavily on subscribe star but also on zel and other places and um so we really do appreciate that.
Starting point is 02:44:46 Thank you very much. MJ says, remember when Trump would, would stiff the people that worked for him in Vegas? Yeah. Uh, it was a foreshadowing of what he would do on his January, the six supporters. First report that I did on Donald Trump when he became a candidate, I was not a fan of him, uh, from the very beginning. It's like, I felt like i said before the
Starting point is 02:45:06 way julian assange did julian assange said we know hillary clinton as a warmonger a criminal uh we don't know what trump is we'll find out and we found out he's just like hillary clinton but i i did the report about how for one of his parking lots at one of his casinos in atlantic city uh there was a widow and he wanted to buy out her house and tear it down for his parking lot. She resisted. It was just like Pixar's Up. And so he got the government to condemn her property and shut it down. And before he could build his parking lot over the house that he had destroyed, he went to declared bankruptcy yet again.
Starting point is 02:45:43 I think he had six bankruptcies with his casinos and that tells us something about him as well not just the way he treated his employees in vegas but also the um the number of bankruptcies he had there as i said before what does that say about somebody's competency if you can't make money with a casino it's almost as good as being able to print money at the federal reserve of course they're losing money too they say rumble stealth patriot i went to see two cousins the other day both of them had to have a leg amputated shortly one shortly after the other i'm sorry to hear that my second cousin has been bedridden for two years after getting guillain-barre syndrome yeah vaccine got it one week after the jab was paralyzed and the neck down but now she's beginning to be able to use her hands and arms to feed herself. I'm so sorry to hear that. You know, when we look at the
Starting point is 02:46:32 60 Minutes report from years ago about the first swine flu, and it's very, if you haven't seen that, and I've played that a couple of times, but if you go back and look at it, that was when they had real reporting from Chris uh chris wallace's father mike wallace and first of all he exposed the whole fraud of that scare and he said well we're supposed to believe that it was um some soldier who collapsed and there was a woman who suffered from guillain-barre syndrome that he was interviewing and she said well i looked at this and this was highly woman who suffered from Guillain-Barre syndrome that he was interviewing and she said well I looked at this and this was highly publicized by the media. Here's this young fit soldier
Starting point is 02:47:10 He just collapses and nearly dies it and as I looked at it. They said well, you know, this is a guy who was already You know and what they called the Navy at sickbay I don't know what they call it in the army, but he and two other soldiers were sick with the flu, and they were there recuperating. And his commanding officer said, nope, you're going to do the march anyway, and got him out there. And he got out there, and he collapsed because he had the flu. He just had the flu.
Starting point is 02:47:37 And he was given mouth-to-mouth resuscitation by the drill sergeant that was there. And he didn't get sick. He didn't get sick. The drill sergeant did. But anyway, they used selective parts of that story to scare people to death. And so this woman said, so yeah, I got it. And she had Guillain-Barre syndrome, and it had been a long, long struggle for her to try to be able to move in a very, very limited way.
Starting point is 02:48:07 It's very, very crippling. That is something that's been around for these vaccines always. And I've known people who got the flu shot and got Guillain-Barre syndrome. But this is so much worse. So many different things as well. And, of course, the Guillain-Barre syndrome is just one of many, many things now. And it is quite prevalent with this Trump shot as well. And of course, the Guillain-Barre syndrome is just one of many, many things now. And it is quite prevalent with this Trump shot as well. The Supreme Court is going to decide whether or not to restrict abortion by pill. That case is going to be
Starting point is 02:48:36 coming before them. The drug Mephistopristone, if that's the way you pronounce it. I just call it Mephistopheles because it's from the devil. One of the most common abortion methods in the United States are going to rule on that. So the Republicans are waiting in bated breath. They are scared to death. No, not another abortion decision from the Supreme Court. And you got the left wing rags are out there. They're very excited about that.
Starting point is 02:49:02 Oh, this is going to be another opportunity for us to gin things up. And so you've got all of these people in the Republican Party trying to figure out how They're very excited about that. Oh, this is going to be another opportunity for us to gin things up. So you've got all of these people in the Republican Party trying to figure out how they're going to spin this. Because as I said yesterday, oh, the albatross. The albatross around the neck. And yet there's a
Starting point is 02:49:18 Democrat who is using this as an opportunity to show people the babies that she discovered that were violently murdered and she found their bodies and she's got pictures of it and she's running as a federal candidate for president so that she can put those ads out and not have them be censored did you know Travis did we get censored anywhere for putting that picture out that thumbnail yeah said, let's use that thumbnail
Starting point is 02:49:46 that she's putting out there. I mean, if she's going to put it on the line for that, let's do it as well. And Travis says, I don't know. I think that is so brutal. And I said that the people need to see what the truth is. And so I said, this is the hill to die on. It is and uh so um but apparently nothing has happened yet uh kellyanne conway is pushing republicans to embrace contraception that's going to be the way that they're going to try to spin this perhaps because they don't want to show you the truth about what this is they don't want to show you the truth that abortion is violent murder of a human being so let's talk about let's spin this let's redirect people over here to contraception and coulter has gone completely to the other side here on this issue siding with the abortion industry's desire to kill
Starting point is 02:50:41 unborn disabled babies says the life site news headline and um this after years of making money as a pro-lifer and calling for an end of roe v wade after roe v wade ends and coulter has shown herself to be like some of these other people you know like blake masters how he immediately started scrubbing his website. Oh, he's just, you know, he's blustering about what a great supporter he is of life and all the rest of this stuff. It's like these videos that you'll see where you've got dogs that are barking at each other on either side. Oh, they're vicious. They're just going to tear that other dog apart, both of them on either side of the fence. And you gradually start removing the fence and they move along to keep that fence between them and when the fence is completely removed they're like okay well never
Starting point is 02:51:30 mind that's the way ann coulter and the gopr when it comes to this issue and many others and so maybe we should call her albatross ann because she she thinks that uh you know defending people educating people about um this violent murder she thinks that that's an albatross. You know what? Maybe the people who support the violent murder of babies for their power and money, maybe they're the albatross. You ever think about that? Maybe they're the reason we can't have nice things like liberty. Because they have sold out.
Starting point is 02:52:06 Uh, they don't care. Babies are ripped to pieces. They just want their little pathetic prize. Oh, look, I won the election. Oh,
Starting point is 02:52:15 good for you. What are we back in high school again? King and queen of the prom. You won the election. Great. What did you do to get it? You killed somebody last month i highlighted her relentless campaign says the writer for life site to blame the pro-life movement
Starting point is 02:52:32 for gop election losses insisting that abortion was a losing issue and that her new compromise position as she put it was to stop losing elections and to make abortion illegal only for registered Republicans, quote-unquote. That's what she said. The GOP, she said, should instead stick to a 15-week federal ban, if even that much. The rock-ribbed pro-lifer, it seems, is only willing to advocate a legal regime significantly more liberal than most countries in Europe, liberal countries that she has mocked relentlessly for decades. And that's a good point. When you look at what is going on in other countries,
Starting point is 02:53:11 like in France, I think it's 12 weeks. And so you've got these so-called pro-life people, so-called pro-life Christians like Mike Pence, 15 weeks. That's worse than France. She thinks the GOP must win elections in order for pro-life laws to be possible. Yet, she also thinks that they shouldn't pass those pro-life laws because then they could lose the election. So there you go. That sums it up completely, doesn't it?
Starting point is 02:53:37 Yeah, we need people who are going to lead, not people who are going to grift. She says the pro-life movement, said Ann C coulter has gone from compassion for the child to cruelty to the mother and child and she said that in the wake of this situation with a trisomy 18 and um again this is a terrible tragedy but as one mother who had a child who was born with that disease. At least I know that I didn't rip that child apart. And I did everything I could for them. So, LifeSite News, let's be clear here. Coulter is saying it's cruel to protect children in the womb if they've been diagnosed with trisomy 18.
Starting point is 02:54:23 And it's not cruel to decapitate, dism dismember and disembowel those children in an abortion clinic she even insinuates that allowing that child to live rather than be killed is also somehow cruel and repeats the eugenic talking point that such children are not compatible with life it is also somehow cruel to the mother Nobody who believes abortion kills a child can also believe the things that Colter just said. After an entire career of debunking insidious liberal talking points, Colter has decided to take their side when it comes to aborting disabled children, and it's not just Ann Coulter either who has flip-flopped on this
Starting point is 02:55:04 issue and the um uh Iowa yeah it's the precious COVID-19 and many other things I don't know why that came up I think that got hit by accident uh let's um I wanted to uh pull up what uh DeSantis said, as he was talking to supporters in Iowa, here is what he said about Trump's position on pro-life. I think, though, one thing in this race that I think is important to point out is Donald Trump flip-flopping on the right to life. So if you look in January of 2020 when he was president, he stood in the March for Life and he gave a speech. And if you read that speech, he said that all life is a gift from God. He compared the unborn child in the mother's womb to being the image of God. He said it was important that we had protections in law. And that's what he was saying in January of 2020. Now, he has attacked states
Starting point is 02:56:07 that have enacted protections like heartbeat bills as being a terrible, terrible thing. So how do you square that March for Life speech with now trashing states that have advanced protections that he claimed to cover? Was he not being honest in January of 2020? Or has he just flipped his position to now what he's saying in 2023? I think that's a huge problem because we know people come at this from different angles. It's a big, diverse country. There's a lot of division about it. But you should be consistent in your beliefs,
Starting point is 02:56:42 especially on something that's very fundamental. And he has not been consistent. And I think there's a lot of voters in Iowa who really care about this, who need to know how he's changed his position. Yeah, that's very true. As a matter of fact, LifeSite says, well, it's not just Ann Coulter. Take a look at all these people in the GOP they said a lot of people said the only people who are more afraid of the overturn of Roe v Wade prior to it happening the only people more afraid of that than the Democrats are the
Starting point is 02:57:16 Republicans they're very afraid of that and so I said take a look at how this is unmasking these GOP hypocrites and liars. People like Ann Coulter, people like Trump, people like Sean Hannity, for example. Once Roe was gone, one of their most reliable vote getters would be gone. Plus a lot of fundraising to boot. And I say that is why you see so many republicans saying well we got to bring it back to the federal government again let's have a national law we'll make it 15 weeks which is worse than secular france uh and that's the way they're responding to this and you got a lot of national um organizations that call themselves pro-life that want to do that as well
Starting point is 02:58:01 because they want to make this a federal issue and they want to keep it there. And as I've said before, if you make that a federal issue and you say 15 weeks, Democrat States say, well, they're going to nullify that because they can. This isn't something that even the federal government should be involved in at all.
Starting point is 02:58:19 So constitutionally they can nullify it just like they nullified prohibition of marijuana. And so the liberal States will nullify that. They'll abort kids at any age. And the conservatives, once the Democrats get power again, and they raise that from 15 weeks to whatever they want to raise it to, the Republican states will obey that, just like the Republican states obeyed Roe v. Wade when it was clearly a violation of the 10th Amendment. And I said that all my life. And then you had the Dobbs case where the Supreme Court said, yeah, that's right.
Starting point is 02:58:54 Yeah, that is right. A Supreme Court decision is not the law of the land. They change their mind about these things all the time. And the Supreme Court changed its mind and decided that they would follow the 10th Amendment. That freaked everybody out. Trump was one of the first to pivot away from that, as DeSantis pointed out. But this person says, I was much less surprised to see Carrie Lake, the failed gubernatorial candidate from Arizona, flip on the abortion issue. And I agree with this person 100% about Carrie Lake.
Starting point is 02:59:19 She is a cynical opportunist, a shameless liar who has attacked pro-life candidates without the slightest regard for the truth. This is a person who has hypocritically, just like Trump, been hypocritical on all of these issues. And just like Sean Hannity, who pats soldiers on the back every time he sees somebody in uniform, oh you for your service and yet he wants to send them to war somebody who has said that he is pro-life and yet he wants to win election he doesn't want to save lives yeah he is he wants that little little trophy that he gets thank you for listening interested in a curated list of the finest classical music?
