Starting point is 00:00:00 Come on, come on, yes, yes, come on. At this year's Cheltenham, glory rests in the lap of the gods. Oh, curses. Alas, our hero hasn't placed. But there are still divine offerings up for grabs, with all NoviBet customers getting a €10 free bet for every day of Cheltenham. And on top of that, we're paying up to seven places each way on selected races throughout the festival. I declare this a most generous offering.
Starting point is 00:00:25 No, we bet. More power to you. Using free speech to free minds. You're listening to The David Knight Show. As the clock strikes 13, it's Wednesday the 15th of March, Year of Our Lord 2023, day 1098. That's the last big emergency we had. The Ides of March. Beware the Ides of March. That's when they throw this stuff at us. And right now, the rapidly developing emergency that we're seeing here, which may be a complete takeover of the banking system.
Starting point is 00:01:39 That's what the former Treasury Department official with the Clinton administration said. He actually said that. He says the federal government nationalizing the banking industry, well, they're not going to exactly do that like a third world country, but they do have their ways. And we're going to talk about that when we come back. And we're going to talk about what the implications of all this are. We've seen how this has targeted crypto.
Starting point is 00:02:02 And we've seen that they are more than willing to spend all the money that they've got, and money that they don't have, and just make this stuff up. We'll be right back. Well, you know, as we look at what's happened, it hasn't even been a week. It was Friday after the show that they began shutting banks down. The number two bank shut down. The number, sorry, the number 16, but it was the second largest bank failure the U.S. has had. Followed by the third largest bank failure the U.S. has ever had. And then another bank was shut down simply because the bankers don't like it. The Federal Reserve doesn't like it.
Starting point is 00:03:02 They're dealing in crypto. They had the money. They don't even have to give them any money to make all of their depositors whole. But the interesting thing about this that we're now seeing is a pattern. You know, there were many things that need to be done in order for the Biden administration to get us onto CBDC, wasn't there? One of them is you've got to have the entire financial system restructured. Part of that restructuring is going to be getting rid of banks. You'll deal directly with the federal reserve. A key part of that is to get rid of all these nuisance, little small banks.
Starting point is 00:03:33 You got to go. I mean, we've had 10,000 of them disappear, uh, between 1984 and the, uh, the mid 2000 great recession, But that's not enough. There's still others out there. They've got to go. And so they begin with the ones that are focusing on crypto. Crypto's got to go. The small banks have got to go.
Starting point is 00:03:54 You've got to restructure the financial system. Well, you can check all those marks with what's happened in the last five days or so. Two big fail banks were flooded with deposits as there are bank runs on small banks. They want to get their money out of them and put it into the big ones. And the rationale behind all of that is that they know that the too big to fail banks, their money is going to be safe, right? So according to Bloomberg, J.P. Morgan, the largest us bank about to become much, much bigger.
Starting point is 00:04:30 Uh, JP Morgan alone received billions of dollars in recent days. Bank of America, city group, Wells Fargo, also seeing higher than usual volume. The top six banks, the too big to fail, are and have been too big to fail. The financial crisis over 10 years ago demonstrated that, said Michael Immerman, an assistant professor at the University of California, Irvine Business School. So it's safer to go with a name with a higher degree of certainty. Even Wells Fargo is talking about that. Goliath is winning, said Wells Fargo banking analyst. Goliath is winning.
Starting point is 00:05:10 Yeah, Goliath is stomping the Davids into the ground in these less certain times, he said. Now, this is one of the things that, you know, Senator Nicely is trying to get people to understand the necessity of having some kind of a buffer, something to resist this giant vacuum, this black hole in Washington is trying to take all of our liberty and freedom. And we have to have some kind of a backstop against that. Anything that we can do. Yes, individually, we have to do what we have to do. And there's some lessons to be learned about this in terms of cash and gold and silver and things like that for us at an individual level.
Starting point is 00:05:54 But we also have to maintain some of these institutions that can be a check against the absolute power of the Federal Reserve. And that's why it's important to have something like the Tennessee Reserve System, which is his, I think, ingenious name for a public state bank. The local banks, many of them don't understand that. They think that's going to be competition for them. They don't understand that they're going to lose with this stuff. So in addition to people withdrawing their money from the bank, stockholders withdrew their money from the banks as well uh after people after the fear started subside some of the investors put their money back into the small banks and so uh they they dipped precipitously now they've
Starting point is 00:06:43 soared back. But the question is, are people going to move their money back to small banks? That's really the key. It isn't necessarily the boomerang effect on the stock market. It's whether or not people are going to put their money there. And, of course, what are the lessons, first of all, for us to learn about this? Well, SVB Less says a shift goal. If you can't hold it, it's not really yours.
Starting point is 00:07:15 And that's true in a lot of different ways, because if you stop and think about it, well, first of all, you know, if it's a paper that says note on it, that means it's not real money. That's it's a loan from the federal reserve to, uh, the federal government and they're pretending it's money. So if it says note on it, it's not real money. And if you don't have it in your hands,
Starting point is 00:07:33 it's not real money. And so this applies to not necessarily just these bank runs. I mean, you know, that happened on Friday. I'm sure they did it on Friday so they could get all this stuff ready to have, um, you know, work on it over. I'm sure they did it on Friday so they could get all this stuff ready to have, um, you know, work on it over the weekend.
Starting point is 00:07:48 So on Monday, people could get their money out of the bank. Uh, but, uh, it may not happen that quickly always. And it may not be this type of thing, you know, as they're saying it, well, you're covered with $250,000 or whatever. Not that many of us have $250,000 in a bank account. If you got more than that, you could spread it out with different banks, and it would be insured. But the question is, how long is it going to take to get that money?
Starting point is 00:08:14 That's the real issue. And when you look at, you know, if it's in your hand, for example, they would be able to, as we've seen with the colonial pipeline, as we've seen with the FAA and no TAM, and also that same no TAM system in Canada, independent systems, uh, both of them were hacked a day apart, you know, uh, 12 hours apart. I should say the U S system went down in the evening, came back about nine or nine 30. And then within an hour, Canada system, same, same MO took it down and it came.
Starting point is 00:08:52 Uh, so it was probably some kind of a cyber hack, some kind of a cyber crime. We don't know if it was ordinary criminals or if it was a state actor or whatever. You look at colonial pipeline, similar situation. What did they do? Did they take down, you know, the actual infrastructure? I mean, did they directly attack it? It was always an indirect attack, right? With colonial pipeline, they hacked the accounting system.
Starting point is 00:09:16 And, uh, so when the accounting system was shut down, colonial pipeline said, well, that's it. We can't sell anybody anything. And so they shut it down with the FAA. What they did was they went after this system that would, the no TAM system that would tell people if there was some kind of an issue on the takeoff or landing or somewhere around an airport, they took that down. And so then the FAA said, we'll shut the whole thing down because we can't operate safely.
Starting point is 00:09:43 So what happens if the internet goes down? If they take the infrastructure down, they've already been talking about this last year, that was all the rage at Davos. Oh, you know, cybersecurity could take everything down. And, um, so if they do that, you're not going to be able to trade your crypto. Really? Right. Uh, you're not going to be able to get your money out of the banks.
Starting point is 00:10:10 If the banks have, if the, if the infrastructure went down the internet, the banks are going to shut things down, uh, because they can't handle this stuff. And, uh, you know, you might be able to get a little bit of money out of the ATMs. I don't know if even that would work though. If they lose internet access, they just shut everything down. So it's not just gold and silver. If you're going to have cash, you better have some cash under the mattress or a better place to put it than under the mattress, but you better have something that is there for a few days. It's not enough to say, well, I've got less than $250,000 in the bank. When are you going to be able to get to that?
Starting point is 00:10:42 Will you be able to get to that? That's one lesson for us to learn. But then when we look at the bigger picture here, we've got a former Treasury official. This is Roger Altman. He was the former Deputy Treasury Secretary in the Clinton administration. So Roger Altman, former Deputy Treasury Secretary in the Clinton administration, was on CNN. And he said, we're on the verge of nationalization of the banks.
Starting point is 00:11:10 You should think about this. Remember, this has been the, you know, the Biden administration has been very clear from the very beginning of the administration when they picked that Marxist, Saleh Omarova, for the Office of the Control of the Currency, they've been very clear that they want to take over the entire monetary supply and control it from the Federal Reserve from Washington. That they don't want banks. That was what her papers were. She had written papers saying that. And so as part of her confirmation, those papers became damning evidence, but it still remains, even though she didn't get in,
Starting point is 00:11:43 that remains the agenda of the Biden administration. And they've made that very clear. You know, part of this all of government directive that Biden put out a year ago, they get back to me in six months. We're going to talk about one of four areas. I've mentioned this many times. The complete restructuring of the financial system was the number one thing. How are we going to enforce it? How are we going to implement it? And how are we going to sell it to the public? Well, that's climate change. Those are the four things he's going to do. But we're talking about complete restructuring of the financial system.
Starting point is 00:12:14 So he said what the authorities did over the weekend was absolutely profound. This is Roger Altman, former Deputy Treasury Secretary under the Clinton administration. It was absolutely profound. They guaranteed the deposits, all of them at Silicon Valley bank, not just the 250,000, right? You had some of these like circle. There's a crypto digital asset company. They had $3.3 billion there.
Starting point is 00:12:51 Only 250,000 was, uh, um, was uh um was covered uh tiny tiny you know like 99.99 or whatever didn't work it out but you know uh but they were made whole they were made whole and so he says it's it's not like the federal government is going to nationalize it in the traditional sense. Take over the banks and then they, you know, actually operate it. They've actually taken over the assets. So they actually have ownership. They don't want to operate them because they don't want to have banks. They don't want to operate these institutions. They're not going to take them over in that way.
Starting point is 00:13:23 So he said, they guarantee the deposits, to take them over in that way. So he said, um, they guarantee the deposits, all of them at Silicon Valley bank. What that really means said Roger Altman, and they won't say it. And I'll come back to that. What that really means is that they have guaranteed the entire deposit base of the U S financial system, the entire deposit base, he emphasized. Why, he said? Because you can't guarantee all the deposits in Silicon Valley Bank, and then next day say the depositors at, let's say, First Republic. You're not covered.
Starting point is 00:14:00 You're not guaranteed. Of course, they would be as well. So you got the second and third largest bank failures, and they made everybody whole. Even people who had $3.3 billion instead of $250,000. So it's the same principle, and he understands this well because he was in the Clinton administration, Deputy Treasury Secretary. What was in the Clinton administration, deputy treasury secretary.
Starting point is 00:14:25 What happened during the Clinton administration? That's when we created the banks that were too big to fail. Or they did, I should say. They okayed the merger between Bank of America and Nations Bank. Nations Bank was in North Carolina. Bank of America was in California. Remember, we used to have, of course, that technically changed under the Carter administration, as Gerald Slenty and I were talking about last Friday.
Starting point is 00:14:51 Interstate banking was made legal. They didn't have to stay within their states. And so, these two banks, however, were so big that everybody was saying, if you approve this merger, then everybody is going to have, all the banks are going to have to start merging and you're going to wind up with just a half dozen banks. You don't really want that,
Starting point is 00:15:17 but the Clinton administration did. And this guy was deputy treasury secretary there in the Clinton administration. So they okayed that merger. And then there was another merger and another merger, another merger. And we wound up with, you know,
Starting point is 00:15:28 within 10 years, we had less than 10 years. We had these few banks that were dominating everything. And of course, the other part of it was he allowed them to get into speculative investments again, by getting rid of the glass Stigal act that was put there as a backstop.
Starting point is 00:15:41 They said, if we're going to win the depression, if we're going to win the depression, if we're going to ensure the deposits, we got to make sure that the banks are not involved in highly speculative stuff. So they got rid of that. And they got into speculative real estate investments, securitized real estate mortgages, you know, all of that garbage. And so it was at all the big thing burst under Bush and he doesn't deserve any
Starting point is 00:16:09 excuses because of the things that he did to handle it were also awful. But the foundation for all that was laid under Clinton. And so this guy was there and he understands that if you do it for one or two banks, you're going to do it for all of them. You're going to let everybody merge. Now anybody can merge, right? Everybody does. The banks that we used to work with in the, in the nineties are pretty much all gone. They've been subsumed into other things. Um, so this breathtaking step, he said, which effectively nationalizes or federalizes the deposit base of the U.S. financial system, he said, you can call it a bailout or you can call it something else. But it is absolutely profound, said Roger Altman. Now, the authorities, he said, including the White House, are not going to say that.
Starting point is 00:16:58 Because what I just said, of course, implies that they have just nationalized the banking system. Technically speaking, they haven't. But in a broad sense, they're verging on that. Only in the traditional sense have they not nationalized the banks, you understand. And so when the guy who was interviewing him at CNBC, Collins, said, that's a remarkable statement you just made here. And he said, let me emphasize the banks have not been nationalized. I said, they're verging on that because they have guaranteed the entire deposit base.
Starting point is 00:17:40 Usually the term nationalization means that the government takes over the institution, runs it, and the government owns it. That would be the type of nationalization that we've seen in many other countries throughout the world. Obviously, that did not happen here. But when you guarantee the entire deposit base, you have put the federal government and the taxpayer in a much different place of protection than they were a week ago. So not operating it, you know, but owning it, uh,
Starting point is 00:18:11 passive, I guess I put on their income tax system. If the federal government was filling out, there'll be passive investors. They're not actually involved in the day-to-day operation of this stuff, but they own it. So, um,
Starting point is 00:18:24 we look at this. RT has something to say about it as well. This is something they wrote yesterday, how the U.S. banking crisis could lead to the collapse of the Western financial system. You see, it's not going to be what a lot of people are concerned about, and this is why people are taking their money out of the small banks, is, oh, let's put it in J.P. Morgan,
Starting point is 00:18:43 because they're so big they'll never let them fail. That's not what the small banks. Oh, let's put it in JP Morgan because they're so big they'll never let them fail. That's not what the risk is. The risk is that this is moving us to CBDC. Yes, the Silicon Valley Bank is ludicrous. There's videos that have come out of them spending millions of dollars to produce these videos that they show within the company. Just ridiculous stuff. Like tarred and feathered and things. Just silly skits, spending a lot of money on that.
Starting point is 00:19:18 They were cheerleading ESG and all the rest of this stuff, making bad investments and greenwash projects. But this is different than that. This is a move against crypto. This is a move against the entire financial system. You have to see this in terms of what is the Biden administration agenda. They've been very clear about this from the very beginning. It has been relentless and on a path. And so you need to look at this and say,
Starting point is 00:19:48 how do these events that have happened in the last week, how do they line up with this relentless agenda that the Biden administration is on to completely reset our financial system, to outlaw crypto, to change the definition even of what money is. And they've got 20 states with bills to do all of that. And remember, before the pandemic, they were in there changing the definitions of things that, you know, medical products and things like changing the definition of so many things as a lead-in to what they wanted to pull. So RT says, so who's next?
Starting point is 00:20:31 The stock meltdown resumed with a vengeance on Monday with several bank stocks halted due to volatility. As of midday on Monday, you had PacWest Bank Corp, Zion's Bank Corporation, First Republic Bank, Regions Financial were no longer trading until further notice. They put a halt on that kind of stuff. Now,
Starting point is 00:20:54 a lot of things happened very quickly. They've been reversed now for the most part. As RT said, so how did the Fed react? The Federal Reserve, the U.S. Treasury, the FDIC on Sunday announced a new emergency program that will allow both insured and uninsured depositors of the collapsed banks full access to their money through a special FDIC fund.
Starting point is 00:21:19 Going back to September 2019, if you remember what happened with the repo market, that was the overnight banking market that is highly technical. I don't understand all the aspects of it, but I do understand when they start dumping hundreds of billions of dollars into this thing on a daily basis. When it first kicked off, it was like 450-something billion dollars that kicked in. It was like, what? I mean, we talk about hundreds of billions billions we talk about trillions all the time they really you know people's eyes just kind of glaze over well it doesn't really mean anything right um as a matter of fact i came across article we'll get to it here charles krauthammer said you know we talk about trillion we We shouldn't be lying.
Starting point is 00:22:06 We've talked about billions and trillions. He said, you take a little number like four and you say four and then trillion. And people don't understand the magnitude of it. He said, we should ban those words. You know, instead of a billion, we should say a thousand million, right? Don't say billion. Say 1,000 million. I know the British do it differently.
Starting point is 00:22:29 But, you know, 1,000 million. And when we talk about trillion, you should say 1,000, 1,000 million. Not 4 trillion. 4,000, 1,000 million. Try to put this in perspective. So they started putting in hundreds of billions of dollars in September of 2019. And we're still doing it through December. And this is way before anybody ever talked about China or a virus or anything like that.
Starting point is 00:23:00 And it got into, I've looked around, I can't really find a total figure there, because, you know, we can't audit the Fed. We can't figure out what they're doing. Not allowed to know. They'd have to kill us if we found out, or at least kick us off of all the platforms. Oh, they've already done that. But, so I don't know what the total amount was.
Starting point is 00:23:25 I'm sure that it was trillions of dollars that they put in. They're putting in, you know, one day they're putting in 400 billion, next day they're 200 billion, things like that. And it was not widely reported. Most people were not talking about it. I was talking about it. Gerald Slinty was talking about it. We're like, what?
Starting point is 00:23:44 This is getting really crazy. I mean, you're looking at all the quantitative easing and the money supply they're building up here, the low interest rates at the time, and now they're putting in trillions of dollars into this repo market. When does this insanity ever end? And what is going to be the price to pay when it does? And so nobody ever really talked about that. And this is why I'm saying they can bail out these banks. And they can take over the entire financial system because they just print up money. They don't even have to print it anymore. They just add some zeros on the electronic ledger.
Starting point is 00:24:22 If they were able to do this, and nobody even paid any attention to it in the repo market, of course they can do this to take over the financial system. That's the key thing. They will continue to do that. That's why I say it's not that, well, I won't be able to get my money out.
Starting point is 00:24:38 You may not be able to get your money out of the bank if the infrastructure gets taken down. But they may not pull that one themselves because that would be detrimental to their CBDC narrative. They want you to believe that the digital money is going to work. Will the measure stem the fallout of the collapses, says RT? Well, the panic is already ripe, they said, and could further push investors to move funds from small banks to what they view as a safety of large, systemically important lenders. That's where we would be
Starting point is 00:25:08 getting people pulling their money out of small local banks and putting it with JP Morgan. They said this would drain liquidity from the small banks and may lead to their downfall. Bingo. The desired effect. You see, when they move to their preferred system, where there are no banks, or at least there's no small banks, no medium-sized banks, there may be a role that they carve out for these too-big-to-fail banks. You know, in the same way that they'd like to get rid of all private ownership of cars, but they'll allow Ford and GM to transition over to people who rent
Starting point is 00:25:46 the cars to us by the ride, that type of thing. Uh, they may find some kind of a role, new role for these giant banks, but the purpose is to get rid of these small and medium sized banks. Anybody other than the, you know, uh, the, the six Nephilim banks, the big giants, uh, the, uh, the fallen ones, the, um, so, uh, anyway, the, uh, um, where was I? The, they're going to continue to do this. And, and, oh, I know what I was going to say. They don't want to just come out one day and say, all right, we're closing all the small banks and we're going to deal with everybody directly.
Starting point is 00:26:28 It'd be much better if the small banks disappear in a panic that they can hide their hand in it, right? Well, we didn't do that. It was unfortunate that these banks failed. But, you know, the reason that they failed was because they were involved with the speculative crypto stuff. I mean, just look at FTX, which they probably had a big hand in both creating that and then bursting that bubble. Let's say, oh, it was crypto. Crypto created this horrible, you know, speculative market.
Starting point is 00:27:02 So we got to get rid of crypto. And because of all that confusion and panic, unfortunately, the stampeding crowds destroyed the small banks and medium-sized banks. We didn't have anything to do with that. That wasn't us. It just happened. And that's what they wanted to have happen all along. What's the worst case scenario, says RT?
Starting point is 00:27:21 Well, depositors could panic, resulting in national runs on banks. Since lenders don't have the money, they'd be forced to close their doors and block depositors' access to the accounts. As governments cannot protect all depositors, we could be facing a 1929-style Great Depression, or worse, the collapse of the entire Western financial system. I think RT is wrong about that. As I just said, because they covered the repo market, I think that they have looked at this. They don't care about deficits. They don't care about having to cover deposits. I mean, Biden has just put out a $7 trillion, oh, I'm sorry, $7,000,000,000 budget, right? He wants thousand million budget right he wants to do that and if he does that he's going to bump
Starting point is 00:28:08 the deficit up in 10 years it'll be 51 thousand thousand million they don't care they can run rating forever right the only thing that's going to be a big threat to them is losing the reserve status of the dollar. They're working on that as well because they do want to destroy this country. And that will definitely do it. That along with a gigantic deficit of spending and what it's going to take to take over all the assets of the financial system so they can control it directly from the Federal Reserve. But they'll get paid back in the end, right? The few people. Sid Ells Griffin claims the Silicon Valley bank bailout says American capitalism is breaking down before our eyes. Well, no, actually, capitalism has not failed. We have failed to try capitalism.
Starting point is 00:29:11 Capitalism as I define it in terms of a free market. We're not even close to that. This is so heavily controlled already by the central bankers. This is not capitalism. This is corruption. It's cronyism. It is socialism. It's Marxism. It's globalism. It's all these other is corruption. It's cronyism. It is socialism. It's Marxism.
Starting point is 00:29:27 It's globalism. It's all these other isms, but it is not capitalism from the standpoint of a free market. The Biden administration, by the way, blocked the SVB sale just to show you that capitalism has not failed. There were private buyers who said, we'll take it over. We'll buy it. They said, no, you can't. Not going to let it happen. Why?
Starting point is 00:29:49 Because they wanted it to play out this way. This way, if somebody were to take over the assets and take on the responsibilities and run it, that wouldn't allow them to essentially take over the assets, to set up a precedent to take over the assets of the entire financial system to push towards CBDC. As a matter of fact fact if you look at what happened in the uk uh the uk bought the assets of svb bank you know redundant um the silicon valley bank they bought their assets for one pound one pound you're bankrupt we're going to buy you for a pound and we'll take over the liabilities that you have because you know you're in the hole they pay one pound for something that
Starting point is 00:30:31 is who knows how many millions or billions of pounds in debt they were i don't know but you're going to pay uh one pound for that that's more than generous and you're going to take over their liabilities but that could have been done by a private individual. It was important for them to close these banks because, again, not necessarily so much SVC as Signature Bank and then also Silvergate were heavily involved in crypto. They had to be closed. SVB had Circle there, a digital asset company, with a $3.3 billion. So even if the bank itself had pulled back and was not involved in the crypto stuff, it was something that was a move towards, I think, Circle. Circle said they're going to be able to cover any losses that they had, but of course they didn't lose anything.
Starting point is 00:31:25 Um, but anyway, um, another bite administration scandal says zero hedge radicals in the bite administration. Is there anybody other than radicals administration? It's kind of like you said, you know, more than more than half of the women in my administration, actually women, uh, I think a women in my administration are actually women. But I think 100% of them are radicals. They blocked it. They nationalized it.
Starting point is 00:31:53 Then they blamed Trump for the collapse. And again, Barney Frank, who was on the board of directors of Signature, I think it was, the one that he was on the board of directors. He said it was about crypto. think it was, the one that he was on the board of directors. He said it was about crypto, and it was, but not about crypto in the way that Barney Frank said. And he said, yeah, the little bit of change that was made in the Trump administration to the Dodd-Frank bill, and Barney Frank was on the board of signature, that didn't make any difference. That was Elizabeth Warren doing some political posturing. She's not that stupid to think that it was the Trump administration, because she has been at the forefront of the attacks on crypto. Elizabeth Warren has.
Starting point is 00:32:39 So we're going to take a break and we will be right back. The common man. They created common core to dumb down our children. They created common past to track and control us. Their commons project, to make sure the commoners own nothing. And the communist future. They see the common man as simple, unsophisticated, ordinary. But each of us has worth and dignity created in the image of God. That is what we have in common. That is what they want to take away. Their most powerful weapons are isolation, deception, intimidation. They desire to know everything about us while
Starting point is 00:33:35 they hide everything from us. It's time to turn that around and expose what they want to hide. Please share the information and links you'll find at thedavidknightshow.com. Thank you for listening. Thank you for sharing. If you can't support us financially, please keep us in your prayers. The David Knight Show dot com. show.com. Let's talk about other news. We have the, uh, as we look at the Biden administration and others, we have Biden
Starting point is 00:34:32 as a new rule to take over washing machines and to redesign washing machines. Uh, the people, the radicals and the Biden administration, uh, no better than you. And they know better than the people actually designed these things, right? As the trade, um, organization. Uh, that, uh, is there with the appliances said, if this were possible, we would be doing it because the consumers want to have something that uses less water and less electricity. This is going to have the opposite effect. And it's coming through the Department of Energy, the Department of Energy. One of these monsters that was created by Nixon, he created the Department of Energy, the Department of Energy. One of these monsters that was created by Nixon, he created the Department of Energy, he created the EPA.
Starting point is 00:35:11 And remember, it was when Rick Perry was running for president in one of the debates, he says, I'm going to get rid of three departments when I become president. We've heard all this talk before about presidents saying they're going to get rid of departments, And now Trump is doing the same thing again. Uh, he was already had his chance, but, um, he was, um, on the debate and they said, which, which departments are you going to get rid of? And he said, well, this one, this one. And I sat there and I can't remember, you know, he, he, he hemmed and hawed. He couldn't remember what it was. It was the Department of Energy.
Starting point is 00:35:49 Interestingly enough, when Trump gave him a cabinet position, he put him in charge of the Department of Energy. And guess what? Rick Perry didn't get rid of it. He didn't even make it smaller. They're just a bunch of liars. You got to stop paying attention. So much attention to the presidential runs. But the president does have way too much power.
Starting point is 00:36:06 So we do have to watch what they do. But don't pay so much attention to what they have to say. Anyway, what Biden is doing now, he's got his Department of Energy. Remember, all of the deep state people, all these bureaucracies and everything, are under the president. And I know some of the people say, yeah, but the FBI, they're bad. Coming after Trump. That are under the president and i know some of the people say yeah but the fbi they're bad you know coming after trump that's under the president uh the nsa was created by an executive order by the president by truman cia is under the president
Starting point is 00:36:39 trump appointed gina haspel as part of the c. So you think that the deep state is the intelligence community? Well, they work for the president. And all these other bureaucracies that are... I don't know anything about the movie that won the Oscar, but I got to say the title really does describe the way the federal government is coming at us. Everything, everywhere, all at once, right? Anyway, they've got new standards for washing machines.
Starting point is 00:37:12 Now that they're well on their way to killing the car, let's kill the washing machine too. Leading industry corporations have voiced their opinion on the rule, claiming the mandates will force manufacturers to reduce cleaning performance in order to ensure their machines comply. Each cycle will take longer. The detergent will cost more. And in the end, the clothes will be less clean.
Starting point is 00:37:35 Oh, kind of sounds like what they're doing to transportation, doesn't it? It's going to be more expensive. It's not going to work. And in the end, you know, we'll just get rid of them altogether. I wouldn't be surprised if they do that with washing machines eventually. Like many energy, like many efficiency standards, the government claims that although these standards will raise the cost of appliances, that's justified because it will reduce consumer spending on energy and water even more. Of course, if that were true, consumers would likely buy more efficient appliances anyway,
Starting point is 00:38:07 given that studies show consumers consider that energy and water costs, right? Says the American Enterprise Institute. And they're right. And of course, if it were possible to get the same performance for less energy and less water, you know that these companies would be doing it because that would give them a competitive advantage. Consumers want it. They would like to have the consumers buy their product if they could say,
Starting point is 00:38:34 look, we use less water and energy and we get it as cleaner, cleaner. No, none of that is happening. The Department of Energy says it's going to save the average family at least $100 annually through lower energy bills. Well, are we going to have to buy a super expensive, because they've already done this to heating. It's not just the way they changed the design of all these things. It makes it almost impossible to replace them.
Starting point is 00:39:04 These washing machines are going to wear out eventually. And if you have to buy a new one, how many years are you going to have to operate this thing before you get your $100 back? As a matter of fact, probably they'll ban them altogether before you get your $100 back. On Rumble, thank you, Abel. Thank you very much for the tip.
Starting point is 00:39:23 He said, I heard the SVB bank started to fail on Thursday when a big donor from Israel took out $26 billion. I saw that. I didn't see $26 billion, but I saw a billion figure. I don't think it was that big, but yeah, I don't know. Basically, the bailout of SVB is the U.S. bailing out Israel. Israel had 50% of their tech in SVB. Well, I haven't seen that, but I know that they did have a, that Israel had that in there and they got out. I know that Peter Thiel got out.
Starting point is 00:39:55 And I know that Mark Kelly, gun control Kelly, instead of machine gun Kelly, he wants to machine gun the Second Amendment. Husband of Gabby Giffords, who was shot, and he is senator from Arizona. And I know that after this stuff happened, he actually, and Thomas Massey, called him out on it. So this is on a Zoom conference, and he was asking people, what can we do to censor speech so that we don't create a run on banks? So, again, you can add to all the other things we're not allowed to talk about. The federal government does. You know, we can't talk about their their war policies. We can't talk about their health policies.
Starting point is 00:40:40 We can't talk about their vaccine programs or the mask mandates or the lockdowns or, uh, you name it, right? We're not allowed to talk about that stuff. Just, just shut people down. Not allowed to talk about the trainees, not allowed to talk about the climate lies and MacGuff.
Starting point is 00:40:54 So now we can add to that financial information. And the reason that they gave for that was because there was, um, a Peter Thiel and this, I don't know where these guys, if they got their information from that, or if they got inside information, uh, and this, I don't know, you know, where these guys, if they got their information from that or if they got inside information. Perhaps these Israelis got inside information, likely. I think it's likely that Peter Thiel got it.
Starting point is 00:41:15 But what the press did was they said, well, there's this one guy who has got an investment newsletter. And he's a real guru to the investors in Silicon Valley. And he was warning about Silicon Valley bank. So he's the one who they're all listening to and they all pulled their money out at once and it caused it to fail. Well, quite frankly, um, I, I, I am suspicious enough that I would say that people like Peter Teal, people like the Israelis, uh, would, uh, I would
Starting point is 00:41:46 even go, uh, since I'm a conspiracy theorist, I would go so far as to say, perhaps they were told to do that, uh, because this thing is working out so well for the Biden administration and their agenda to reset the financial system. I think that's where the real issue is. I think that's what we've got to keep focused on, is how if they didn't engineer all of this stuff, then it's really a nice coincidence for them, isn't it? And I just don't believe in coincidences when these types of things are happening. When you have your society being emergencies declared and massive amounts of money thrown around. I look at this as not a coincidence.
Starting point is 00:42:30 And even if it were a coincidence, they will weaponize it. So the Department of Justice is saying that, and I talked about this yesterday a little bit, prohibition, I said, look, you've got a way to nullify. This is the appropriate response, and we can see it with both reactions in conservative states against gun control from the federal government and reactions from leftist states against drug prohibition. You have Vermont saying,
Starting point is 00:42:56 we're going to allow people to get psychedelic mushrooms. And again, I don't support the use of psychedelic mushrooms, but I know that prohibition doesn't work. But the important thing is to understand that we can nullify the things coming from the federal government that we don't agree with. That's the key. And so the Department of Justice is now saying, you know, marijuana use is still a federal crime, even if it is legal in the states. even though biden it's a reason magazine article um even as the president bemoans the injustice of pot prohibition his administration insists that
Starting point is 00:43:32 cannabis consumers have no right to a firearm because see the real the real purpose again is to take everybody's guns and and so what they'll say is well we don't want people in jail for minor marijuana offenses oh really it was biden who came up with the mandatory minimums it was biden who wanted to lock all the thugs up you know he was pushing this stuff and it rolled out in the reagan administration but he has bragged about the fact that he wrote this stuff and he was working hand in glove with reagan get all this stuff, uh, the Reagan justice department to get all this stuff done. So he is, um, um, you know, civil forfeiture, zero tolerance, mandatory minimums, you know, along with assault weapon bans, you put Biden's name on all that stuff and he's proud to do it. And now he's trying to pull back. Oh, the marijuana use because the, um, uh, black
Starting point is 00:44:28 Democrat voters are such a big part of his base. They were the ones according to CNN that got him that won him the primary. And of course his, uh, marijuana, uh, mandatory minimums and locking people up and things like that, uh, that has fallen on the black community. So this is really kind of an outreach to the black community, but he doesn't want them to have guns. Biden thinks it's unfair that people convicted of simple marijuana possession face lingering consequences for doing something that he says should not be treated as a crime. But he's the one who helped to make it a crime and who helped to make it into an exorbitant penalty. I've said for years, I said, look, I don't use this stuff, but I don't want to pay to lock up somebody for decades because they're using marijuana any more than I would if they're using alcohol. I don't use alcohol either.
Starting point is 00:45:19 I said, I don't want to pay to lock them up. And when you do that, you're destroying families. You're destroying the future of these people. I mean, it was just excessive in every aspect of it. But now he's seen the light. He's seen the demographics for his election. Under federal law, it's a felony punishable by up to 15 years in prison for an unlawful user of a controlled substance to possess firearms. The ban applies to all cannabis consumers,
Starting point is 00:45:48 even if they live in one of the 37 states that have legalized either medical or recreational use of marijuana. And so, as Bearing Arms says, Biden supports pot use unless the user also owns guns, in which case he will use that to entrap them to take their guns. Because it always keeps coming back to a few of these central things that he has in mind. Well, while we're talking about crimes, and again, I think the big crime is that's being committed is on the side of the federal government.
Starting point is 00:46:24 When we talk about crimes. I thought there was this interesting Western Journal reported two men in Atlanta. Well, it was actually in, yeah, in Atlanta. Two men did a robbery and their getaway car robbed a store. Their getaway car was an electric vehicle that they had not sufficiently charged. And so George Epper at the Western Journal says, I've never claimed to be a criminal mastermind, but I'm pretty sure that one of the first items on my day of list for the first bank robbery would be to, quote, gas up the getaway car.
Starting point is 00:47:03 We got two Georgia jokersokers he said who failed to make sure their escape vehicle had enough juice to allow them to you know escape alleged theft of several gaming systems from an unidentified local store they didn't rob a bank they robbed a game store just go in and you know grab a bunch of this stuff and run out the door that i remember when we had video stores you, the tapes were expensive. Uh, they had raised the price of them. And there was a window where you could get your money back. And so, you know, you pay a 50, $60 for it.
Starting point is 00:47:32 The retail price would be something like 80 suggested retail. And, uh, I remember that blockbuster video had a big problem because they put the live product on the shelf and it was tagged so somebody couldn't walk through the the checkpoint um you know uh thing to and set off an alarm uh but people would go in and they went in because all the blockbuster employees would wear these uh light blue shirts and khaki pants and so they would go there wearing light blue shirts and khaki pants and they would walk along and they'd grab these things and get a stack of them on their arm. You know, uh, like they're going to do something with it, you know, move the inventory or something, and then run through the exit, several hundred dollars
Starting point is 00:48:17 worth of videotapes they could sell on the black market. Uh, so I guess that's what these guys are in the gaming system. And so they run to their Tesla and, um, they call the police and the police spotted them stopped to charge the Tesla. They would be there for many hours. Probably in addition to the stolen gaming system, the police also found several firearms and two pounds of marijuana, they said. So, uh, there you go these
Starting point is 00:48:46 they commit a robbery they can't get away with it and they got the car loaded with other stuff that's going to hit them by the way talking about the tesla a guy actually drove away with somebody else's tesla using the car app he was able to it. So it's parked close to where his car was parked. Same model, same color. He gets in the car and the app lets him drive away with it. And he's driving down the road and he goes, he notices that the windshield's got a broken spot in it. He goes, oh.
Starting point is 00:49:24 And he gets on the phone and he goes, Honey, did you break the windshield? It's like, no. And then he starts to look around the car and there's some other things in there that aren't quite right and he realizes that the app let him take somebody else's
Starting point is 00:49:39 car. Sorry, honey, I'm going to have to call you back. I've just committed grand theft auto accidentally. Exactly. Yeah, so he pulled over to charge and the police around to the car i guess that's the rest of that story right 60 of likely voters agree that climate change has become a religion well that should be good news right except not quite in this irrational society we live in. This is a Rasmussen poll. 60% of likely voters said, agreed with the statement, climate change has become a religion that actually has nothing to do with climate and is really about power and control. I guess I should have asked him if it's a MacGuffin.
Starting point is 00:50:21 He'd have to explain to them what a MacGuffin is. 47% of those polled strongly agreed with the statement even 45 of democrats polled agreed with the statement 45 democrats so yes it's just a religion and it's just about power and control the poll also asked about biden's handling of the climate change issue you know because he's the high priest he's the pope of the new change issue, you know, because he's the high priest. He's the Pope of the new green religion, I guess. Right. So, and this is what I think is, is shows the irrational thought processes of the American public.
Starting point is 00:50:58 46% rated Biden's handling as excellent or good. 50% rated his handling as excellent or good. 50% rate it as handling as poor. So 60% think that it's a religion that is simply designed for power and control. And yet 50% say it's bad, what Biden is doing. But there's 10% there who say this is a fraudulent religion for power and control. It's a MacGuffin. And yet Biden is doing a good job with it. I guess, you know, brutally honest, I guess you could say that, you know, yeah, I know
Starting point is 00:51:36 it's a scam, but he's done a pretty good job of scamming people. Maybe that's what they're thinking. I don't know. Now, um, uh, Vivek, I think is the way he pronounced his first name. Ramaswamy, a young guy who is running for a president. He's an independently wealthy entrepreneur. He wrote a book woke incorporated where he attacked the woke stuff and recent video. He laid it out there very specifically. He says it has nothing to do with climate. It's so refreshing to see somebody say something like this. How many times have I said, let's stop playing the game about, well, I have, that's not going
Starting point is 00:52:09 to work in terms of controlling unicorn farts. I've got a better way to control unicorn farts. And we could control unicorn farts and still have our cars if we did this and this and this. Just call it nonsense. It's nonsense. And that's what he does. Ramaswamy didn't mince words.
Starting point is 00:52:22 It has nothing to do with climate. He said, if it did, the people who are calling for the US To stop production of fossil fuels here Should be really concerned If petrol China Is picking up those projects Because methane leakage Is 80 times worse for global warming
Starting point is 00:52:38 Than a unit of carbon dioxide So he plays the game a little bit But he does point out the hypocrisy And I've said this for the longest time. You know, when you talk about the Paris Climate Accord, when Kerry and Obama said, we're going to self-ratify, you can't self-ratify. And then Trump is like, oh, well, you know, we can do this. I'm going to, you know, let the thing go on.
Starting point is 00:52:59 And as he was dithering for the first six months of his administration, then decided that he would punt the ball until after the election. Then after the election, he says, yeah, I'm going to ban it. Well, you know, 60 days later, Biden puts it in. Anyway, as I said all along, even the people who believe in this phony religion, the true believers were furious about the Paris Climate Accord because the Paris Climate Accord gives the two countries with the biggest population free reign to add as much of
Starting point is 00:53:33 these power plants that need to be banned. They can add as many of them, coal plants, whatever. They don't have to do anything to make them clean. You can clean them up. It costs money, but you can clean them up. No, they can build cheap and dirty power plants, as many of them as they wish, and so can India. And of course, that means that all the manufacturing will be there. And the people who are true believers in it said, wait a minute, this is global warming. It doesn't do any good to take it away from America and Europe. But if China and India are still going to manufacture all this stuff,
Starting point is 00:54:08 you're just transferring wealth. And that's exactly right. They understood that. And so he says, methane leakage is worse in China than it is here. So if you really cared about supposedly even the core tenant of your religion, your God, lowercase g, the climate, you would have cared about shifting that production to places like China because the projects are still proceeding.
Starting point is 00:54:31 But they don't care, he said. And if you really cared that much about so-called carbon emissions, you would be a proponent of nuclear energy. Yet this ESG movement excludes nuclear energy companies from their ESG funds. The ESG movement is hostile to nuclear energy. The problem with nuclear energy for this movement is not that it is too bad, but it might be too good at solving their own,
Starting point is 00:54:56 in my opinion, mostly made up problem. At least he's saying, you know, he says mostly made up. He's leaving a little toe hole in there. And he's saying, you know, he says mostly made up. He's leaving a little toe hole in there. And he's saying this at CNN. So, you know, maybe that's why he moved on that. But yeah, it is. And I've talked about that many times. You know, the Gaia theory.
Starting point is 00:55:17 Gaia is Mother Earth, a goddess, right, out of Greek mythology. And the Gaia theory was that mother earth is this thing to just happened by chance. All of these animals just evolved by chance. This is this chance miracle throughout the universe is special thing. And humans are like a virus on this sentient mother earth. And you see these actresses, these dumb actresses like Jennifer Lawrence, anything say mother earth is very angry. And, and dumb actresses like jennifer lawrence and they
Starting point is 00:55:45 say mother earth is very angry and and all the hollywood crowd is coming out every time you know some kind of bad weather uh mother nature is very angry and uh and they really believe that they really do believe that the earth is a sentient thing it is a pagan religion in more ways than they realize that literally is. And Lovelock, who came up with that, eventually disowned it in the UK and also disowned global warming as well, man-made global warming. He disowned that as well. But it is a cult religion.
Starting point is 00:56:22 And so this article on The New american says so is the climate culturally a religion though it has made the attributes of religion it's god is clearly the earth and or the climate they don't mention the gaia theory uh mankind and carbon dioxide appear to be running neck and neck in the race to be its devil it has prophets such as al gore and john carey its high priests would be the so-called scientists who continue to assert the absolute truth of their doctrine. It even has an apocalyptic warning about the end of all time. Yeah, it checks pretty much all the boxes there. But the reality is, and this is something that Ramaswami doesn't seem to get,
Starting point is 00:56:59 it's like, well, you know, we could, okay, we could do nuclear power. You know, just like you got Toyota and some of these other car companies out there saying, you know, all right, zero emissions, I can do that. We can come up, even if we don't have the mineral resources for the car batteries and all the rest of the stuff, you know, we could come up with some other things. We could come up with a hydrogen car. So, man, it's got technological issues. And of course, nuclear power has its own technological problems still,
Starting point is 00:57:26 even though we've been working on it for decades. What do you do with the nuclear waste? Well, that's kicking the can down the road for about 1,000 years, right? What do you do when the nuclear power plants become so radioactive that you can't operate them anymore and you've got to decommission them? Well, they're nuclear waste as well. And so you store all the nuclear waste from that plant, and you anymore, and you've got to decommission them. Well, they're nuclear waste as well. And so you store all the nuclear waste from that plant, and you store that plant there, and you decommission it.
Starting point is 00:57:49 You've got to protect it. You know, that's what happened at Fukushima. You had the waste flooded. It didn't have a Chernobyl type of meltdown. It's the nuclear waste that was stored on site that got flooded. And so that's a long-term problem. Every technology has got issues. There's issues with hydrogen. But they don't want that worked out. Why? Because it's only the electric, battery-operated car that allows them to control everybody through a centrally controlled grid.
Starting point is 00:58:20 And that's what they don't understand, right? And they also don't understand when it comes to nuclear power, what the people were saying, well, let's just use nuclear power. What they don't understand is that not only do they want to control us through a centrally controlled grid, but they want to control us through poverty and austerity. They don't want us to have energy. If they wanted us to have energy, again, they would build the nuclear power plants. They would allow multiple paths to having zero emission cars,
Starting point is 00:58:54 but there will be one, only one, that's allowed, just like we saw with the vaccine, because that was about control as well. I mean, if you can hand people different alternatives, then you wouldn't have to have a vaccine passport, right? You've Got to have that vaccine passport. So we've got to have the vaccine. Plus the vaccine really did what they wanted, which was murder and sterilization for depopulation. If we look at the war in Ukraine, Ukrainian official says we don't have the resources for a counteroffensive. This is a story by the Washington Post. Now, the question is, is the Washington Post putting out this story about the dire circumstances in Ukraine
Starting point is 00:59:35 because they are shilling to give them more weapons? I'm sure that's a part of it. Because, you know, look, they don't have the munitions. They don't have the equipment, right? So we've got to provide that for them. And maybe even from the extent that they say, and they don't have the skilled troops, so maybe we need to send our skilled troops to go as Bucky's, what was he? The guy, George C. Scott.
Starting point is 01:00:05 Anyway, what was the name of the general? I can't remember. Anyway, as he said, we're going to go toe-to-toe with the Ruskies. No, that was actually Slim Pickens. As he got the code on the airplane, he was really excited. We're going to go toe-to-toe with the Ruskies. It was not the George C. Scott general. Anyway, they want to go toe-to-toe with the Ruskies. And they want to George C. Scott general. Anyway, they want to go toe-to-toe the Ruskies,
Starting point is 01:00:25 and they want to do it by sending equipment or maybe even skilled troops. That's what I suspect is happening with the Washington Post. Ukraine is not doing well, and so we got to help them. If you have more resources, you more actively attack, said the official
Starting point is 01:00:42 who spoke to the Post on a condition of anonymity. If you have fewer resources, you defend more. We're going to defend. That's why if you ask me personally, I don't believe in a big counteroffensive for us. I'd like to believe it. But I'm looking at the resources and asking, with what? Maybe we'll have some localized breakthroughs, he said. He says, when you're on the offensive, you lose two or three times as many people.
Starting point is 01:01:06 We can't afford to lose that many people. You know, that's an interesting thing. I used to play the game of Risk with my friend who, and he'd come home from West Point, we'd talk about it. And he would say that, you know, the attacker always has to have a bigger army, and it was set up that way in risk. And that's something that even with the technology, that seems to still hold true. You know, you got to have two or three times the number of people to attack fortified position.
Starting point is 01:01:34 Anyway, the Post also spoke with the Ukrainian battalion commander who went by the name of Kupol and attained the grim situation on the front lines. Kupol said of his battalion of 500 troops, 100 were killed, 400 were wounded, leading to a complete turnover. 100% casualties. He's now being sent soldiers with no combat experience
Starting point is 01:01:56 and very little training. He said, I get 100 new soldiers and they don't give me any time to prepare them. They say, take them into battle and they just drop everything and run. That's what happens, he said. Well, I read to you a week or so ago, an ex-Marine who was working there, he said, these new recruits, when they come to the front line,
Starting point is 01:02:17 they've got a four-hour life expectancy. Oh, I guess they're going to die or run away in four hours. Do you understand why, he said? Because the soldier doesn't shoot. I asked him why, and he says, I'm afraid of the sound of the shot, he said. Ukraine has sent in an influx of draftees to replace the more experienced soldiers who have been killed or wounded, said the Washington Post. It said that the Ukrainian men who didn't volunteer
Starting point is 01:02:42 feel that they will get called to battle, drafted. Ukraine's security services shut down telegram accounts because they were helping Ukrainians avoid locations where authorities were handing out draft slips. Yeah, getting conscripted or getting Shanghai'd into this thing. Also, they're fighting with very little ammunition. You're on the front line, he said, they're coming toward you and there's nothing to shoot at them with so are they afraid of the sound of the shot are they afraid of that i think this is something that's being pushed by the washington post again we've got the solution to all this we can send american soldiers we can send american munitions we can send american equipment we can send american jets let's send
Starting point is 01:03:23 america in and we just had a direct confrontation yesterday with an American Reaper drone. There were a couple of Russian jets that were sent out to intercept it. And it was in, the Americans say it was in international water. The Russians say it was too close and all this other kind of stuff. And there are reports that we know the Reaper went down. There's reports that the Russian jet collided with it and went down as well, or one of the two. So we don't really know. Again, fog of war, you can't really tell what's going on with this stuff. I remember stories of my great-grandfather who was in the Civil War, relayed to me by my mother,
Starting point is 01:04:02 who used to get this on his lap when she was a little girl. He was talking about Civil War relayed to me by my mother, who used to get this on his lap when she was a little girl. He was talking about Civil War. He was on the Confederate side, so they had no ammunition. He said they would feel good if they could just hide in the blades of grass until the Yankees got close enough they could engage them in hand-to-hand combat. Well, you know, that's fine, but courage doesn't always result in victory, right? As we saw with that. And this is really pushing us. And if you look at the Chinese side, as I had the interview last week with Peter Shari writing the book about the balance of power,
Starting point is 01:04:43 I wanted to talk to him about artificial intelligence, and that was a key part of it. But the four battlegrounds, that was one of the four battlegrounds, was technology, things like that, data, train AI, and other stuff like that. But when he talks about the four battlegrounds, they're all targeted towards China.
Starting point is 01:05:03 The military-industrial complex that he works for sees China as the number one issue. And I thought it was important when we talked about it, an important part of his book was Taiwan and their involvement in semiconductor industry worldwide. Having, I think it was something like 93% of all the advanced chips made there, and a massive amount of just chip foundries just for the basic stuff coming out of Taiwan.
Starting point is 01:05:33 That's why this is a jewel that the Chinese want, and it's why when the U.S. looks at it, they're going to deny that at all costs, even if it means destroying Taiwan's semiconductor factories if China invades. What's that going to do worldwide? It's going to bring everything to a screeching halt. You will not see anything like the supply chain. We've never seen anything like those kind of supply chain disruptions. An Army War College paper published in 2021 suggested a, quote, scorched earth, unquote, strategy for Taiwan. Robert O'Brien, Donald Trump's former national security advisor, has said that the U.S. would destroy Taiwan's advanced semiconductor manufacturing facilities if China launched a successful invasion of the island. The U.S. and its allies are never going to let those factories fall into Chinese hands, he said.
Starting point is 01:06:27 He served as national security advisor from 2019 to 2021. He drew a comparison to the British bombing of the French naval fleet off the coast of Algeria in 1940 to prevent the ships from coming under Nazi Germany's control. The British bombardment killed nearly 1300 French sailors. He said the Brits didn't allow the French fleet to remain intact so that it could have potentially gone to the Germans and change the balance of power for the battle of the Atlantic, he said. And he said,
Starting point is 01:06:59 because Taiwan is host to most of the world's advanced microchip factories, if China took control, it would make them like the new OPEC of silicon chips, and it would give Beijing more control over the world's economy. He said he couldn't imagine allowing the factories to remain intact. So this is the conflict that is really building uh you know russia's just a prelude because the u.s doesn't want to fight both russia and china at the same time that's really the chinese thing will they become the opec of silicon chips even if they destroy the factories in taiwan uh our biden's policies and the policies are the of the West are going to make,
Starting point is 01:07:45 even if this doesn't happen, even if there isn't a conflict in Taiwan and that destroyed, China is already set up to be the OPEC of rare earth minerals and the OPEC of lithium. All this move to battery everything has put them in that position. Bloomberg reported in October 2022 that there are some former officials with ties to the Pentagon that want the Biden administration to devise a plan to destroy Taiwan's chip factories. The Biden administration has been taking action against China's
Starting point is 01:08:18 semiconductor industry by blocking reports of advanced technology needed to produce advanced chips. The U.S. is also rallying allies to join in on the sanctions and got the Netherlands also to restrict exports of semiconductor technology. And as we were talking about in the interview, Charre was saying, the U.S. has some, even though we don't have the manufacturing capacity of this stuff, we have some key technologies that are quote-unquote choke points.
Starting point is 01:08:50 They're not like the choke points, are they? And so we have some key technologies that are still used by the Taiwanese. And so we could cut it off that way and other ways, but they would probably do a scorched earth policy. Either way, when you look at this, off that way and in other ways but they would probably do a scorched earth policy either way when you look at this it looks to me like sanctions or outright supply chain disruption are should we say in the chips and this poker game and of course they've used the ai to play poker maybe they should ask the
Starting point is 01:09:23 ai what to do next. Well, Microsoft is working on that. They are spending hundreds of millions of dollars, actually billions of dollars, on the OpenAI supercomputer. And they're out there buying. It's absolutely amazing the price of these GPUs, these graphic processing units, you know, super fast processors that they started using, you know, super fast, super fast processors that they started using, you know, for playing games where they needed that speed. And now they have become the, you know, when Bitcoin mining was so big, you couldn't get a GPU.
Starting point is 01:09:58 They were very rare, very expensive, the shortages of them and that type of thing. And people were complaining, said, oh, you know, this proof of work stuff, this Bitcoin mining, look at all the energy that's using. You've got these fast GPU processors that are running around the clock. You know, this is going to destroy the planet. And we've got to stop that, you know. Is anybody complaining about the fact that these AI systems are doing that? At the hardware level, the artificial intelligence systems are powered by the computing power and GPUs with market leader NVIDIA's A100 chips being the most common.
Starting point is 01:10:33 However, the chips are expensive. A single A100 chip costs $10,000. I didn't know. The GPUs that we're looking at were a couple hundred bucks, if you could find them. You know, this is $10,000. Think of all the Tetris you could play with that bad boy. Yeah, it's a little bit faster than you. It could keep up with you, I think.
Starting point is 01:10:58 And so, to have all these things running, Microsoft has poured a billion dollars into open AI to buy, you know, who knows how many of these GPU systems that cost $10,000 a piece. And they have to do this as we were talking about with, um, because they are in the deep learning mode, right? These,
Starting point is 01:11:21 um, the AI is running through all these volumes of data and, uh, you know, looking at all these pictures and everything. Again, I don't understand how the deep learning works, but they can, if you show them enough pictures of tomatoes and you show them enough pictures of apples, they can make the distinction, even though they're basically orange. And even though they're basically red, you know, sometimes both of them can be green and all the rest of it, but they can still just make the distinction just like a child. I don't know how that works, but it requires a massive amount of data. And this is one of the reasons why they're upset about TikTok. And this is one
Starting point is 01:11:53 of the reasons why these governments are pushing out social media. It allows them to have this big database that they can mine. They can mine it for our activities to predict us to do geospatial intelligence about our predictive programming, about our religious and political beliefs and many other things. But it also gives them this massive data that they can use to train artificial intelligence for all these reasons. And of course, the only one that they talk about, they don't talk about any of that stuff. They only talk about the fact that the Chinese could use TikTok to spy on your data on your phone. That's not a concern for most people. It could be a concern for people who work for the government, the Pentagon or something like that, or some political officials, but you know, Gretchen Whitmer, they waived it for her. She doesn't do anything important anyway. She's just, she's just there. Well, I could use an impolite term, but, uh, she does what they want.
Starting point is 01:12:46 Let's just put it that way. Um, so these things are running around the clock. Microsoft had to find a way to string together tens of thousands of these a 100 GPUs at $10,000 a piece. Tens of thousands of these things. The workhorse for training AI models is this A100 graphics chip. Tens of thousands of them strung together. And change how it positions servers on racks to prevent power outages. You see?
Starting point is 01:13:22 And I mention all of this because understand they're going to be coming out, one of the ways that they're coming after cryptocurrencies is one of the four things that Biden had them doing was to talk about climate change. And we can't have any private crypto stuff out there because it uses too much power. And we want you to use the CBDC because it doesn't operate off of proof of work. They don't have to do any calculations for it. All they have to do is process the transactions because it's worth what it is because we tell you what it's worth, right? That's called proof of stake as opposed to proof of work, right? This is a dollar because I say it's a dollar, right? Not because I've actually done work to keep it honest.
Starting point is 01:14:08 And because they say, well, this is a dollar because I say it's a dollar, they can add as many of these things as they want. So they want to keep it in the fiat currency world rather than mining it and limiting the supply, which is the whole idea behind Bitcoin, is to make the money more honest. But they want to come back and say, we can't have that much processing going on. Look at what they're doing.
Starting point is 01:14:32 Tens of thousands of these things strung together. They got to find ways that they can do this to not take all the power out. I'm telling you that our deep state, our intelligence agencies, these people who are creating the, uh, the artificial intelligence stuff, they're using far more energy than any of the crypto people would be using. Scott Guthrie, the Microsoft executive vice president who oversees cloud and AI, would not give a specific cost for the project, but says probably larger than several hundred million dollars. It's tens of thousands times tens of thousands.
Starting point is 01:15:08 So anyway, it takes millions of hours of GPU time as well. So not only do they have tens of thousands of these things strung together, but they're operating for millions of hours to train the AI language program. So they look at it from the standpoint of how much does this hardware cost and how many of these things are out there, but they don't look at it. Nobody ever talks about the energy consumption
Starting point is 01:15:32 of this stuff or anything else that the government does. And so what's the result of all this? Well, chat LGBT answers the questions on Chinman Square differently in Chinese. It's so good that it can lie to you in multiple languages. It's a multilingual liar. The mainland Chinese version of Chat LGBT's responses included when talking about Chinman Square
Starting point is 01:16:03 only the laughably small death toll of a few dozen that is claimed by the Chinese government. While the English and the island Chinese answers, perhaps when they say island Chinese, they mean Taiwan. Are they allowed to say that at Breitbart? Say that right, Bart. The English and the Taiwanese answers noted that international observers believe the never confirmed number of deaths was in the hundreds to thousands. The bot also gave politically biased answers to questions about China's great famine of 1959, which historians around the world recognize as an atrocity perpetrated by the Chinese communist government through malevolent policies.
Starting point is 01:16:47 While the Chinese communist party insists that it was merely a three-year natural disaster. So again, I trained it to be a, um, propagandist, a liar, and,
Starting point is 01:17:03 um, at a lot of expense to do that as well. We'll be right back. Joe, we've got a problem. What? Who are you? It's the new mug they're selling at the David Knight show dot com. Right. So basically, a mug is something that holds liquid. Right? Because basically you can't hold coffee with your hands, right? I'm a scat in the, but anyone tries to mug me, I'm be ready for it. You dog-faced pony soldier.
Starting point is 01:17:38 They say the mug can help patriots drink coffee, then save the world. This could be bad for us. Save the world?, then save the world. This could be bad for us. Save the world? But we owe the world. These people, they're supporting free speech with every month they buy. Come on. These people... I tell you... Well, anyway... You're listening to The David Knight Show show think of it then in the context of like i like to think about a lot of things in the context of a venn diagram i love venn diagrams always ask is there
Starting point is 01:18:16 a venn diagram for this i'm telling you it's fascinating when you do so So, those three circles, right? So on this, the intersection between climate, extreme climate, right, which is going to be about, that's going to be also an intersection with human behaviors about greenhouse gas emissions, what we need to do around carbon capture, right?
Starting point is 01:18:40 Intersection between that, public health, and then how we're thinking about, in terms of the intersection between that, public health, and then how we're thinking about in terms of the intersection between that and education. Wow, isn't that amazing? I guess, you know, her staff has been told so many times, draw her a picture. Draw her a picture. And she loves Venn diagrams because, you know, they're all about intersectionality. And that's what she's all about.
Starting point is 01:19:04 You know, she checks all about intersectionality. And that's what she's all about. You know, she checks all those intersectionality boxes. And yet she's now making her first trip to Iowa since becoming a vice president. After a flurry, says CNN, of Republican candidates going there now, Lala Harris shows up and um they said uh even though biden has successfully moved the first in the nation caucuses to south carolina for the democrats and he did that because of his support with black voters uh in south carolina they said a majority of Democrat voters in South Carolina are black. And so that propelled him to the nomination in 2020, according to CNN. That's what they say.
Starting point is 01:19:52 So the DNC, the Democrat National Committee, adopted the president's changes last month, but the VP's visit to Iowa underscores how Democrats do not intend to fully abandon the state despite its Republican-leaning trends. Harris's trip will also come a day after a federal judge oversees a challenge to the federal government's approval of a medication abortion drug and will hold a hearing in the case. And so she's campaigning on that. She's campaigning, we are the party of infanticide.
Starting point is 01:20:21 Support us. We've got the Mephistopheles pill mephistoprone or whatever i just call it mephistopheles that says what it is it is um killing a baby and in many cases killing a woman because when they hand this thing over the counter and you don't need to have a visit that has been waived by so many of these people? Well, the purpose of that visit was for the woman's health, to see the size of the baby. And if the baby's too large, they would not allow them to use this pill. They didn't care about the baby.
Starting point is 01:20:54 They were doing that for the woman's health. And so this requirement that was there for the health of the woman has been waived by the Democrats. Because the most important thing is to kill the baby, even if you've got to kill the mother to do it. She said if extremists and politicians can override FDA approval and remove one medication from the shelves, in this case, abortion medication, one must ask, what medication is next?
Starting point is 01:21:20 Well, I can tell you, Lala. We've already seen it. Ivermectin, ACQs, any of these things, anything that would be helpful for people who had a respiratory illness and keep them from having to go in the hospital, keep them from being put on a ventilator, keep them from dying. No, no, we're going to take that away. We've seen that over and over again.
Starting point is 01:21:42 This whole narrative about my body, my choice, that thing sailed away three years ago. They had nothing to say about that. No complaints about that whatsoever when it was happening. Recently, the Iowa State House Republicans introduced a bill that would ban all abortions in the state, determining that life begins at conception. Iowa Supreme Court ruled last year that the state constitution does not support a right to abortion. All of these are reasons that Biden got them to move the primary to South Carolina, where he does well with black voters. Meanwhile, still talking about Lala Harris.
Starting point is 01:22:26 So, unbelievably clueless that even Hollywood is pushing for her to be dropped. A group of actors and other Hollywood political donors kicking in big money for this said that Biden needs to jettison Lala. This was a Zoom meeting that had Barbara boxer, um, kind of running the thing, but all these Hollywood actors and executives said she's going to hurt his chances of winning a second term. Why is that?
Starting point is 01:22:56 Well, because he's so old that everybody figures that, um, the vice president's going to finish out his term one way or the other, uh, even if he doesn't die, they'll probably have him step down because of his senility. Nearly 7 in 10 U.S. voters, 68%, believe that Biden, at the age of 80, is too old to seek re-election. And he'll be 86 at the end of his second term. So he's going to hand this stuff off. And I guess these actors and Hollywood types figure out that, you know, if there's nobody on the ticket that can remember their lines, you've got to get some new actors in there, right? We need to recast this.
Starting point is 01:23:39 So that's what it is. And we're going to, you know, there is a cult of the presidency. This is a really good article from Foundation for Economic Education, FEE. And they said it's time we start having a conversation about abolishing the cult of the presidency. And they're talking about the institution, even though you see a picture here of Trump and Biden. And there are personality cults from these different presidents. Certainly not a personality cult around Biden, but there was around Obama. And there's a big personality cult around Trump. And yet what they're talking about really is the cult of the office itself. And we need to stop looking and being obsessed about the presidency
Starting point is 01:24:28 as if it was going to fix our lives. As I said for the longest time, we need to find a way that we can limit the power of the presidency. And the only way that we're going to do that is to start to reclaim some of the powers that the states have abdicated that they still retain however under the constitution they just failed to use them to have a real check and a balance here but there also is a cult of personality the president sits atop an executive branch an octopus that has wrapped itself around seemingly every corner of the american life and again you know everything everywhere all at once. That's where the presidency is.
Starting point is 01:25:08 Biden's first two weeks in office broke a record in terms of ruling by the pen, signing 24 executive orders, surpassing even what FDR did in his first month. Congress doesn't even bother to declare war anymore, to go to war. Last time Congress was consulted on declaring war was in the summer of 1942 with regards to Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, minor allies of Nazi Germany. We have the IRS hiring 87,000 tax men. And, you know, when you put that in perspective, there's only 50 countries out of about 200, just under 200 countries.
Starting point is 01:25:46 Only about 50 countries have an army that's bigger than that. Their active duty military is typically less than 87,000. And I mean, that's almost all the European Union countries, with the exception of some of the ones like Germany, England, France, and Spain, most of them, all of the Scandinavian countries, much, much smaller, about a quarter the size, and 87,000 IRS agents is just what they're adding. And when you look at even countries like Australia, New Zealand, their military is less than the increase in IRS agents. What are they going to be doing?
Starting point is 01:26:25 Well, as they're pointing out in FEE, Foundation for Economic Education, they're going to be watching people. The IRS immediately sent out the new agents and tens of billions of dollars in funding to good use to have a reporting system for anybody spending more than $600. Now that got pulled back, but it's not really about that. I think I said this for the longest time. I think the only reason that you would justify having that many agents out there is because
Starting point is 01:26:56 they're going to be used for wealth confiscation. That's really what this is about. They're going to have to, this is not about, you know, enforcing the income tax and that's getting so highly automated. No, this is about, you know, some kind of a stazzy secret police to ferret out who's got assets so they can go confiscate them. That's how it'll be used. The president oversees and approves a spending bonanza,
Starting point is 01:27:23 which has an annual outlay of about $6 trillion. The average man knows it's very noticeable to spend $100. $1,000 is often undoable unless on payments and anything beyond that number, except for a car or home is outside of his pay grade. But the disconnect is all there. And as I mentioned earlier, the quote from Charles Krauthammer about the unimaginable numbers, the full quote from Charles Krauthammer is, as we drift toward the fiscal abyss, I propose an interim measure, abolition of the words billion and trillion, words that are far too friendly to convey the enormity of the sums that are meant to denote. Politicians in particular should be forced to say thousand million instead of billion
Starting point is 01:28:09 and thousand, thousand million for the flip trillion. It is a linguistic crime, he said, that the easy two-syllable trillion hitched to a humble number like four should be permitted to express a debt that had William the Conqueror begun saving for it in 1066 at the rate of a million dollars a day, it would still be unpaid today. That's the amazing thing about these astronomical numbers. And you want to talk about hyperinflation? I mean, what does it mean when over, you know, 100 years we have lost all but about maybe 4%?
Starting point is 01:28:50 That's a charitable number, you know, that everything is 26 times higher than it was when the Fed was created, that they averaged over this 100-year period, that they averaged about 3.5% inflation, that in the last two years it's averaged just over 5%, then the last year over 6%, and that the target is 2%. And even at 2%, if you compare that to what happened to the dollar from 1800 to 1913 when they created the Federal Reserve, it had been slightly deflationary.
Starting point is 01:29:25 It had an average inflation, which was deflation, of a negative one quarter of a percent. And of course they do that to monetize the debt. Congress grows the executive by voting for a larger, more centralized state each year in and year out. The judiciary does the same thing by undermining the constitutional guidelines that prevent the enforcement apparatus from growing out of control. And of course, this massive burgeoning bureaucracy is all under the control of the president. And we got presidents who add entire, you know, many of them throughout my lifetime have
Starting point is 01:29:59 added entirely new bureaucracies like Nixon, as I mentioned earlier, the Department of Energy, the EPA. You had Carter and the Department of Education and so on. After a certain point, the executive grows itself by the creation of new agencies, which in turn create new regulations. Until now, the code of federal regulations is longer than the U.S. code. And the worst part about it, this regulation without representation. They say, well, it's not a law.
Starting point is 01:30:27 Well, if it's not a law, you don't have any due process under the Constitution. You have no presumption of innocence. You have no protection against excessive fines, and on and on. And that is, I think, one of the worst aspects of this. Hatred and love are increasingly accurate to describe how average Americans feel about presidents. And the intensity of the emotion will only rise as the corrupted institution wraps its tentacles tighter yet around the American polity. This is why things are getting so angry. It's because of all the power that they have.
Starting point is 01:31:04 This is why people get so fixated on the presidency because of all the executive orders and things that they can do just looks what's happened in the last three years under this benevolent dictator donald trump and then of course with all the executive orders of uh biden and look at when you look at the fact that the love and the hatred is intensifying and dividing the country more and more, there's kind of interesting, the HBO series about John Adams, at one point, Jefferson is his vice president. That's the way they did it. The number two vote getter, they had an open, real open election. You didn't have a ticket that was running. But you know, the number one person would be the president. The number two vote getter would be the vice president. And so even though they were
Starting point is 01:31:52 opposite each other on political ideas, Jefferson and Adams were there. And at one point, they're walking down the streets of Washington, D.C. and having a conversation and stopping and arguing with each other. And when you see that, it's like, wow, can you imagine? You know, today, the press would be everywhere. You'd have Secret Service everywhere. Nobody around. Get back.
Starting point is 01:32:17 Get back. You know, leveling fully automatic weapons at everybody. As Lou Rockwell said, every four years as the November presidential election draws near, I have the same daydream. The daydream that I don't know or care who the president of the United States even is. And, of course, in the early 1990s, that was true in Switzerland. And I remember seeing that. I was absolutely stunned. I mentioned it many times when I was talking public.
Starting point is 01:32:43 I said, you know, think about that. It has so little effect on the average person's life that they don't know or care who he is. And that's what Lou Rockwell was saying. Because of this footprint, because of doing things like telling, all right, now I'm going to tell you what kind of an oven you can have. And I'm going to tell you how you can heat your home and how you can travel or if you can travel. I'm going to tell you what you've got to inject into your body. I'm going to tell you whether you're going to stay home and lock down because I said so. You know, that type of stuff. When they do that, that's where the hate comes from.
Starting point is 01:33:17 That's why they've got to have this big entourage of people to isolate them from the public. Imagine a world where the president does not sign 24 executive orders in two weeks, where he doesn't have plenary power to go to war whenever and whenever he wants, where his federal apparatus does not infect every corner of civil life, where his state does not spend $6,000,000,000 a year. Imagine a world where the government is not a behemoth, but instead it's a small, barely noticeable entity that one will run across only rarely over his life. Imagine a world where our liberties do not hang in the balance every election, where they are beyond dispute, where
Starting point is 01:33:58 they're considered next to holy and secure from a guileful demagogue. Imagine a world where armies of tax men or soldiers without tens of thousands of pages of regulations, without regime instability or socialistic dreams, in that world, what would the president have power over? America could elect him and promptly forget his name. And of course, I always go back to Jefferson's second inaugural address, where he says, by the elimination of useless offices and fees and taxes, we have been able to eliminate
Starting point is 01:34:38 the interaction of the federal government so that what farmer, what labor, what mechanic knows a tax man? That's what he had done. How did he do that? He eliminated entire departments. So, unfortunately, we have a symbiotic relationship with all the people in Washington and with most of the people in the state areas as well. The Biden administration is now calling for a digital ID infrastructure to produce a digital economy with public-private data sharing.
Starting point is 01:35:16 This is from the Free Thought Project. And when you look at what he's doing here, they're kind of perplexed a little bit as they're writing about this. They said, this is actually from Reclaim the Net, they said, the Biden administration, however, is short on detail regarding this issue and the privacy implications, while mentioning the term biometrics only once. Now, Reclaim the Net is looking at the digital ID.
Starting point is 01:35:48 They're looking at the biometric surveillance and that type of thing, which has already been implemented extensively in China before the lockdown scams and all the rest of this stuff. But really, the reason that they're talking about this is CBDC. CBDC is the most direct route to this kind of digital ID and slavery. You can get there with the biometric stuff and you can get there with the surveillance and all the rest of the stuff. But CBDC is the express line right there. Strategic Objective 4.5 is a four paragraph section in a 35 page document speaks about supporting development of a digital identity ecosystem. They describe it as, quote, a more innovative, equitable, safe, and efficient digital economy.
Starting point is 01:36:39 And I said they mentioned conveniences and secure access to government services, benefits, trusted communications, social networks, and improved payment systems. CBDC checks all of those boxes. Of course, so does a biometric surveillance and a state-issued digital ID. They're all connected. As a matter of fact, when Mark Zuckerberg was trying to sell his Libra currency, his digital currency, in his white paper, he was trying to get other governments to let him do this.
Starting point is 01:37:07 He said it will become a de facto global ID. So CBDC gives them all of the digital ID features, plus it gives them control over the money side of it. And Jared Kushner was quick to pick up on that. You know, oh, we could use this for welfare payments and stuff like that, right? Eliminate fraud. And, of course, make sure that people toe the line or they don't get the money. That's the way it's already been used in India, the Aadhaar system that Bill Gates put in there. It calls for the digital ecosystem in question to undergo fundamental changes,
Starting point is 01:37:43 completely restructure the financial system, for example, wants to bring in the private sector through close cooperation and public-private undertakings. And of course, this is Davos writ large. When they talk about public-private things, and they typically are talking about these multinational corporations, we're talking about a form of fascism. We're talking about stakeholder capitalism, where these people who operate with a government are given a stake in all of this. And this is the way they want to roll out global governance, as a corporate governance and a corporate partnership.
Starting point is 01:38:24 The current situation is also blamed for exclusion and inequity. corporate governance and a corporate partnership. The current situation is also blamed for exclusion and inequity. But of course, the digital ID or CBDC will be used for exclusion. It'll exclude you from services if they don't like what you do, if you don't participate with them, if you don't take the beast number. Biometric industry observers note that the strategy seems to be promising tech companies that it will not opt for strong regulation of their activities by saying that while they must be liable for security of software, it must also be recognized that even advanced software security programs
Starting point is 01:39:03 can't prevent all vulnerabilities. You know, mistakes happen. And our partners in this enslavement will be protected. Just like our partners, Pfizer and Moderna and the other vaccine companies are protected when they harm people, you'll be protected from this as well. And so when you look at the big tax hikes, you look at the big spending increases, as I mentioned before, $7,000,000 million that Biden wants to put out there, take it up to take the debt up to $51,000,000 million in 10 years. Uh, part of this is he wants to raise a corporate
Starting point is 01:39:42 tax hike to 28%. Why? Because most people don't realize how that's going to affect them. You know, it's very easy for them to raise taxes on diesel because diesel is used mostly by the, um, uh, the trucking industry. Right. And people say, Oh, great. Okay. They, they raise the taxes on diesel fuel. They didn't raise the tax on my gasoline that much. So good. That's good. I'm winning there, right? No, because what's the diesel being used for? It's being used to transport things to and from manufacturing facilities and to the store where you're going to buy it or to your home and that type of, all that is diesel. So it's a hidden tax. You will
Starting point is 01:40:21 pay for it. These people can't absorb this stuff or they'll go out of business. So when they add corporate tax hikes, that's just going to raise the price of stuff. Biden is going to be fueling inflation with these taxes. It's going to be passed on. No corporation pays taxes. The stockholders can pay double taxation. And they do. They pay taxes. the corporation pays taxes, and they also pay it as a personal thing.
Starting point is 01:40:49 But the main thing that you need to understand is everybody's going to pay these. And it's going to be passed along in the price of their goods and services, or they will go out of business. Just like the minimum wage, they have to pass that along as well. Small businesses account for 65% of net new jobs created from 2000 to 2019.
Starting point is 01:41:11 They comprise 99.7% of firms with paid employees. So what do we see all the time? Just like that story I had yesterday about North Carolina. But every state does it. I mean, typically they do it with the billionaires who want to have a stadium for an NFL team or some other kind of stadium for some other sport. And they give these billionaires public money,
Starting point is 01:41:32 and they do the same thing. North Carolina is doing it with this Vietnamese electric car company owned by a billionaire, the richest man in the country. And so they're kicking out small businesses. They're kicking people out of their homes, shutting down a historic church. Why? Well, because these people are so important. Well, 65% of the jobs for the last 20 years have been created by small businesses. 99.7% of firms with paid employees are small businesses. So again, you're going to see the Republicans come back and say, well, can't we do something to protect the small businesses,
Starting point is 01:42:10 to give them an exemption from the corporate taxes? Democrats are looking at re-election, some of them. Manchin, John Tester, Sherrod Brown out of Ohio are kind of worried about this. Tester said, I don't know what he's going to raise taxes on. It's really critical to know what he's going to raise taxes on. If it's about tax equity, then we can take a look at it. But if it's about across-the-board tax increases for everybody, it's probably the wrong time to do it because of inflation.
Starting point is 01:42:39 Well, he is. He's going to raise the corporate tax rate from 21% to 28%. That is a tax on everything, everywhere, all at once. Because that money has to be passed on or they're going to go out of business. That is what a corporate tax is. So we look at, you know, Biden is zeroing out on our meter here. And we've got to have a president because the president is so important and we're told that trump is the front runner and he was in iowa talking to people i want to play for you what he had to say about how he's going to obliterate the deep state this
Starting point is 01:43:18 time listen to this what's happening is very simple our enemies are desperate to stop us because they know that we are the only ones who can stop them and i will totally obliterate the I will fire the un-elected bureaucrats who have weaponized our justice system. Look at what they've done to our justice system. What they have done to our justice system. I will direct the Department of Justice to go after Marxist prosecutors, officers, and lawyers. I will direct the Department of Justice to go after Marxist prosecutors' offices to make them pay for
Starting point is 01:43:51 their illegal race-based enforcement of the law. Many racists are there. Well, you know, his former lawyer, Ty Cobb, said Trump is a deeply wounded narcissist who's incapable of acting except in his own perceived self-interest or out of revenge. That checks all those boxes. Except he wasn't even capable. Yeah, that's the only time that he can is interested in trying to do anything is when it's in his perceived interest or out of revenge. But he didn't even try to. they were at him from the very beginning. From the very beginning, they started with all the Russia nonsense, Russiagate nonsense.
Starting point is 01:44:33 And he didn't protect himself even then when he was present. So how's he going to do it this next time? This isn't something, yeah, they're coming after him after he left. That's for sure. They haven't stopped. But they were coming after him his full four years. And he was absolutely incapable of acting even in his own perceived self-interest or even in revenge. He couldn't act.
Starting point is 01:44:57 So what makes anybody think that he's going to do this again? Look, what he was saying there with that and with these other things is just infantile rhetoric. Nobody believes this except some of these rubes who showed up probably paid money to see him. But the vast majority of the people don't believe that he's going to be capable or willing or to do any of this stuff that he didn't do the first time around. And it's absolutely amazing to me to see how many conservative commentators, people like Wayne Allen Root, still cheering him on. Yeah, I hate the vaccine. He spends, you know, every other op-ed piece that he does
Starting point is 01:45:36 is about the evils of the vaccines. Well, good. But then the next piece that he does is how we got to have Trump. It's like, how do you have this kind of cognitive dissonance? And the people that were showing up, even, you know, his mob there would boo him when he'd talk about his accomplishments, being the father of the vaccine, everything. And yet they still show up. They don't want to hold him responsible for that.
Starting point is 01:46:00 Now, he's got zero credibility. Who do all these bureaucracies follow? It's not just, as I said before fall it's not just as i said before it's not just uh the deep state of them the cia and the fbi and all the rest of these uh who do they work for well they're all under the executive branch all of these agencies are under the executive branch he didn't do anything to close any of them, to even reduce any of them when he was there. But now he says, elect me and I'm going to do what Ronald Reagan promised to do when the Department of Education was less than two years old. Newly created by Carter.
Starting point is 01:46:36 And we had Ronald Reagan saying, I'm going to get rid of the Department of Education. Well, you know, worked for Reagan. So I guess Trump figures he can pull off the same lie as well. ...going to pursue, and we studied it very closely, and I was getting ready to do it, pull the trigger, the long-term goal, but now it's a short-term goal of breaking up... I was fixing to do it. ...the Federal Department of Education and redistributing its functions to the states. Going to break it up soon. That'll be done quickly. its functions to the states.
Starting point is 01:47:06 Going to break it up soon. That'll be done quickly. I was ready to get it done. I was fixing to do it. I was ready to get it done. Then we had a bad election. But this is what must be done to save our country from destruction, all of these things. And remember this on having to do with education.
Starting point is 01:47:25 Out of the top 40 countries, we're always at like the bottom of the list in terms of success per student. And yet I believe it's about three times and even sometimes four times more than the second, third, and fourth country. So we spend three to four times more on educating a pupil. And yet we're
Starting point is 01:47:47 at the bottom of the list. They're at the top of the list and they spend much less money. So, you know, the system doesn't work. So breaking up the Department of Education is a very simple thing to do. And 2024 is the final battle. That's it. Yeah, it's the final battle. Yeah, what a demagogue he is. Yeah, I wonder why they can't do it. You know, there's nothing wrong with the schools. We got to reform them. Johnny can't read.
Starting point is 01:48:19 Well, why can't Johnny read? Because they don't want Johnny to read. They want Johnny deliberately dumbed down, and they want Johnny questioning what gender he is and learning how to put makeup on. That's what they want. They're doing exactly what this whole system was designed to do. They're bribing people with money to do that.
Starting point is 01:48:36 That was the point. Bribing people with money and setting the curriculum from the federal level. He has absolutely no comprehension of what the problem is, but he's a demagogue. He knows what people want. You heard the people cheering when he said he's going to get rid of the department of education. He has absolutely no credibility with that.
Starting point is 01:48:52 He didn't do anything to reduce the budget while he was there, but now he's going to get rid of it. Yeah. Right. You know, it's kind of interesting. I saw this article on Brian Schlauhoff. He's a vaccine impact.com.
Starting point is 01:49:06 And I was like, good. I'm glad somebody else is talking about this. Trump's call for building freedom cities plays right into the globalist plan for fourth industrial revolution control grid. Exactly right. It's a story by Leo Homan. And I was glad that he had the same take on it.
Starting point is 01:49:21 And, and I was happy to see that he'd actually embedded my video down at the bottom of it as i was looking at it trump pledges because i talked about this on day one as soon as trump came out with the so-called freedom cities i said this is nothing but smart cities from the davos agenda repackaged trump pledges to build new generation of cities on federal lands where everybody's prosperous and safe and secure with lots of police. You better believe there'll be lots of police and also flying cars. And as he points out, the only thing different about this and China's prison cities is the flying car thing.
Starting point is 01:49:58 We'll see if that ever happens. Everyone who's awake knows that all modern cities are being developed or redeveloped as smart cities, as 15-minute cities and all the rest of this stuff. So is Trump smart enough to know what a smart city is? Or is he playing us? And that's always been what I've said at the very beginning. I said, look, there's absolutely no way that I'm going to support Trump in 2020. I said, either he's an idiot or he's playing dom and he's a traitor and i don't think he's stupid trump's history of talking tough against the globalists and then doing everything that they
Starting point is 01:50:32 did is pretty well documented and so this story on vaccine impact.com leo homan i like the quote that he had there from aldous huxley the perfect perfect dictatorship, said Huxley. And of course, you know, he's talking about brave new world. Do the schools look like brave new world now? Oh, you better believe it. I mean, they're even talking about, you know, as I mentioned yesterday, the motherless child. Oh, we can have, we can create mice that don't have a mother because we can, you know,
Starting point is 01:51:05 cobble together an egg from some of the cells of one of the males. And then we can fertilize that manufactured egg. And we've done it with mice. We can do that with humans pretty soon. Of course, you'll still have to have a woman to carry it in the meantime. But we're working on artificial wombs. I mean, everything right down the line of Brave New World. And of course, what was the point of Brave New World schools? It was to get the kids
Starting point is 01:51:31 so sexually active that they didn't care about having a family or having kids or anything. Get them so preoccupied contemplating their navel and other ender parts that they could have their way with reproduction and they could do all the reproduction themselves. They didn't want people to reproduce. They wanted them to be preoccupied with sexual degeneracy and they started it early in the schools. Not as early as we're doing it now. Not even Aldous Huxley could exceed our current schools in terms of their depravity, but that was the point, to have them subsumed into this sexual depravity so that they did not reproduce, and then they could make all the babies and make them the way that they wanted to in the artificial wombs. And you'd have different levels, just like Plato's Republic, where some of the developing
Starting point is 01:52:27 babies would be starved of oxygen so that they would be lower IQ and servants of the others and so forth. Some of them would be enhanced. Anyway, Huxley says a perfect dictatorship would have the appearance of a democracy, but would basically be a prison without walls in which the prisoners would not even dream of escaping. It would essentially be a system of slavery where through consumption and entertainment, the slaves would love their servitudes.
Starting point is 01:52:56 Yeah, that's the world that we live in. As I've said many times, what the plan is and what is actually happening now, it's not even a plan. What they've implemented is a system where they keep you preoccupied with entertainment, with sex, with sports, all the rest of this stuff, so they can have their way with you. And you just drop out of society. Now, if you ask, why are we doing this? If you don't, because of religious convictions or something like that, if you don't want to be a part of this and you question this,
Starting point is 01:53:29 then you get the 1984 treatment. But most people will submit to the Brave New World treatment. And, of course, these cities, these prisons without walls, it is a wireless prison. And what is the fundamental technology at the bottom of it? 5G. What did Trump talk so much about before he started locking us down? He talked about 5G. Oh, can't let China do it.
Starting point is 01:53:58 China is going to be spying on us. We'll do it. Yeah, we'll do it ourselves. It'll be good if we do the technology that's used to spy on us. We'll do it. Yeah, we'll do it ourselves. It'll be good if we do the technology that's used to spy on you. So through engineered emergencies and their smart city technology, says Leo Homan, the globalists hope to lure us into stack and pack housing where they can more easily control us with 24-7 surveillance and near total dependence on their infrastructure for jobs, transportation, food, water, healthcare, and entertainment, everything else.
Starting point is 01:54:26 That is the plan. And Trump is on board with that. He really is. I mean, he's out there bragging about this. Like Mohammed bin Salman is bragging about his Neom city and he wants to put people out in the, you know, isolated areas. And why is it, why is he talking about designing a city? Every globalist is talking about designing a city.
Starting point is 01:54:51 Can these MAGA people ever figure this out? If he talks like Klaus Schwab, if he acts like Klaus Schwab, if he implements the Klaus Schwab plan, he's just another Davos puppet like Justin Trudeau. That's all Trump is. Whether he's doing it knowingly or unknowingly, I really don't care at this point. He's part of their organization. And Leo Homan even talks about that.
Starting point is 01:55:20 He said, yeah, you notice that it was just, it was in January of 2020 that he said yeah you notice that um it was just uh it was in january of 2020 that he goes to davos and they're all patting each other on the back all smiles and handshakes and everything and then you know right away locks everything down one of the things though that's a little bit different about this and we hear donald trump talk about this he He says, oh, we're going to build these wonderful cities, and we're going to build monuments to real heroes. And they all cheer, right? Monuments to people like him. And then the New York Post, or the establishment media selling this stuff,
Starting point is 01:55:59 they run with a headline talking about jets and flying cars and everything. It's all good, isn't it, when it's being done by Trump. It's bad if it's being done by Biden or by Klaus Schwab, but if Trump sells you exactly the same thing, you'll fall for it. And that's what I said. I said Trump is more dangerous because the people who would oppose it if it was sold to them by anybody else will follow this pied piper hook line and sinker uh so yeah he's either has that no discernment
Starting point is 01:56:33 or um you know when he was there davos by the way as he points out uh you know right before just immediately before all this stuff got locked down. Um, the comments that he made while he was there, he's asked his stance on climate change. And Trump says, um, Oh, I'm a big believer in the environment. The environment to me is very important.
Starting point is 01:56:57 Like I said, this is just infantile demagoguery and only people with a mentality of an infant fall for this guy oh i'm a big believer in the environment what does that even mean uh absolutely nothing and uh yeah they're all part of this um club that you ain't in as we always say so as all this is happening, the interesting part of the presidential race is the early primaries. And the most interesting candidates are the ones who have no chance of winning because they'll talk about actual policies.
Starting point is 01:57:35 They get in because they want to talk about some particular issue. Maybe they want to talk about, you know, you had Andrew Yang. He wanted to talk about universal basic income. So Elon Musk gave him millions of dollars to talk about that. That's going to be the way to pacify us when they take everything from us. So Musk liked that. But there is an independently wealthy candidate, Ramaswamy, who likes to talk about the woke aspect of this.
Starting point is 01:58:02 And he's now also talking about dumping half the federal employees. And I thought he had an interesting, interesting quote. He said, if somebody works for you and you can't fire them, then they don't actually work for you. So why didn't Trump get rid of these people? Right.
Starting point is 01:58:16 Why didn't he, uh, if he didn't get rid of them because he, they don't work for him, uh, then how is he going to do it second time around? So Ramaswamy says he's going to fire at least half of the workforce. So how would he do it?
Starting point is 01:58:31 Well, he said, I would actually just proceed with shutting down agencies. He says, I think it's going to be at least half the federal workforce. Will it end up in litigation? Of course it will, he said. But I think that this Supreme Court shares that view of Article 2, and he said one of the ways that he would do it is he said he would move people. He would move these agencies. So, you know, you work in the Washington area, let's say,
Starting point is 01:59:00 and you work for one of these alphabet agencies, and he's going to move it to another state. And, and I thought that was interesting because that's what IBM used to always do. You know, when I was an engineer, um, everybody knew what they would do. They would, they, they would recruit people and they would say, well, you know, we don't fire anybody. And that used to be true in the 1950s of many, many corporations. IBM tried to keep that illusion, but we all said, you know what IBM stands for? It stands for I'll be moved. Because what they would do, it was their way of, you know, getting rid of people. They would move you from,
Starting point is 01:59:41 let's say, Fishkill, New York, you know, to Phoenix, Arizona or something. And if they wanted to retain you, they would pay for your move. If they wanted you to voluntarily resign, they would not pay for your move. And so that's the way they reduced their workforce without having layoffs. And they could still claim, well, we didn't fire anybody. And so Ramaswamy is saying the same thing of this he said have voluntary terminations by moving these bureaucracies out of washington so he's got some good ideas he deserves to be heard um and um you know but again uh you know this is the the only thing that's interesting in my opinion uh in terms of the presidential debates and these are the only people that really have anything to say. And they usually keep them out of the debates saying, oh, you don't have a chance of winning
Starting point is 02:00:30 because you're being too candid with people. I guess he also said he disagreed with DeSantis is Disney tactics. He said, I would have handled that situation a little bit differently. We need to be precise about what the real drivers are of corporate woke-ism. One of the underappreciated realities is that Disney's largest shareholders are BlackRock, State Street, and Vanguard. They are the three institutions that promote ESG, and they are the largest shareholders of most American companies.
Starting point is 02:01:01 As a matter of fact, with the three of them, they have 30 trillion, that is $30,000 million worth of assets. And they tell these corporations what they want to do. And if they don't do it, they pull their money out. It's like it's economic bribery, economic blackmail, same thing the federal government does to the states on education and everything else. So he says they set the tone that these companies need to behave in politicized ways from their boardrooms down. Well, that's true, but there's also another dynamic that I don't think he sees. I saw it because I grew up in Florida, and everybody was talking about Disney's special privileges and special treatment that they were given. And that always was a problem. And so from a standpoint of, you know,
Starting point is 02:01:50 what Disney was doing to, um, you know, mislead people that, that really is kind of a separate issue, but I was glad to see him clip their wings a little bit for whatever reason. We'll be right back. ¶¶ Thank you. Analyzing the globalist's next move. And now, The David Knight Show.
Starting point is 02:03:26 Welcome back. And I want to talk a little bit about what is happening at the local levels in terms of the Brave New Schools. We had Joe Biden coming out and saying that the transgender procedures on children were close to sinful. That's an interesting choice of words, isn't it? Does this guy care about sin? No, this is somebody who calls good evil and evil good. That's what Biden is doing. Yeah, they're harming children, and they're sexually grooming them,
Starting point is 02:04:01 and that is sinful. And so when we talk about transgender procedures on young children uh who how many people have to come forward and say even as an adult i was misled in this stuff uh you've i talked about the the young lady who is making the rounds and talking about the fact she was started when she was 18 years old, they gaslight her psychologically. We had a Navy seal who's now gotten over this gaslighting and is very angry about what was done to him as well.
Starting point is 02:04:36 You know, these people getting mutilated, it's bad enough to do the psychological gaslighting. But then when you combine that with mutilation, uh, uh, that with mutilating people and sterilization of people. Transgender kids who are now dealing with all these regressive state laws that are popping up right now. He said what's going on in Florida is, as my mother would say, close to sinful. Well, it's okay if his mother, I'm sure his mother was just fine with all the transgender mutilation of children, changing children's sex. I mean, what an abomination this is.
Starting point is 02:05:13 I mean, who could even have imagined this would happen? And I mean, it was only five or six years ago. They started maybe a little bit longer, maybe about 2015 or something, eight years, time's flying. Only about eight or something, eight years. Time's flying. Only about eight years ago, this kind of stuff even started. But it wasn't at that time directed at children. Now it is. He says, it's terrible what they're doing.
Starting point is 02:05:36 It's not like some kid wakes up one morning and says, you know, I decided I wanted to become a man. No, it takes a lot of grooming, Biden, in the kindergarten, does it? Yeah, that never happens. That never happens. They got to work really hard at it. And that's what is so disgusting about all this. So the other thing that I think is disgusting about this is what high percentage it is of autistic kids.
Starting point is 02:06:03 And I mentioned a couple of weeks ago, Christian Henson in the UK, he was a co-founder of an organization, Spitfire Audio. I talked about at the time, it's something I use their products to do the music here, predominantly their stuff.
Starting point is 02:06:18 I liked the corporation. I mean, you know, they sold things, but they also put free stuff out there. I mean, if you want to ever try any of this stuff, check out their free libraries. They they got some really good free libraries and some other ones that are very very inexpensive but um you know they run the gamut all the way up so but um he was had to leave the corporation that he co-founded simply because he put out a statement about the transgender movement coming for kids he says if you don't realize this it's in the post meaning in the mail and if you got autistic
Starting point is 02:06:54 kids he said it's probably already on your doorstep a huge proportion and so for that he had to for that truth he had to leave. He got kicked out. A huge proportion of kids pursuing gender transitions are actually autistic, say experts. Dr. Susan Bradley, a Canadian psychiatrist who began working with gender dysphoric children in the 1970s, said she believed most of the children who sought gender transitions had high-functioning autism and were being exploited by the medical industry and by now the educational industry and now by the political establishment. They're vulnerable to body image issues,
Starting point is 02:07:40 as everybody is when they go through puberty, but they don't even wait for that. They start earlier. A sense of social rejection and isolation during adolescence, and they exploit that. That's why we call them groomers. When somebody happens to mention that, you know, they're trans or they hear about trans kids and they go online, even if all they do is say, I wonder if I am trans. A lot of these kids are automatically accepted. Well, you must be trans if you even thought about it. And for them, that's a very helpful reaction because all of a sudden they feel as though that explains all of their troubles along the way. You know, Babylon Bee had a headline, you know, what is this wonderful
Starting point is 02:08:25 club that, you know, entertainment industry and schools and government are all pushing and, you know, kids are joining this thing. Well, it's everywhere. It's being pushed to them everywhere. And if you even think about it, if you even wonder about your body, well, that must be because you are trans. The Gender Development Identity Service at Tavistock, the world's largest pediatric gender clinic, which is under, you know, this thing has been exposed as a criminal fraud. They say it came under fire in recent years.
Starting point is 02:08:58 That's an understatement. They said that as many as 97.5% of their patients had autism. Because it's not just the kids who are very, very young and don't even understand what you're talking about, or the ones who are going through body image issues and don't really understand what's happening with their bodies during adolescence. But that's all magnified when you've got a kid with autism. And they prey upon these kids. When we're seeing these kids from a very young age, we had kids who would come into the clinic,
Starting point is 02:09:29 a little girl who thinks she's a boy or vice versa. It wasn't uncommon to find that one of them thought that they were a dog or a cat or something else. That's one of the reasons why you see these furries showing up in the schools now right you know anything and i'm telling you that the transgender and i said this years ago i said this transgenderism thing is pedophilia with a mask because if a kid can make up their mind that they're going to have they're the wrong sex and they can have, you know, and they can be the ones to determine if they're going to mutilate their body or whatever. Well, then that is implying that they have all the ability to make the,
Starting point is 02:10:15 that's a far greater decision with more long-term implications than even if they were to engage in a consensual relationship with somebody. And so that does, you know, that opens the door to pedophilia. But what it also opens the door to, I've seen, it's kind of occurred to me as I've looked at this, and I see the furries and all the rest of this stuff, and I see virtual reality and metaverse and all the rest of these things, they're just trying to detach everybody from reality.
Starting point is 02:10:45 And if they can detach you from reality, if they tell you that you can become something else and all the rest of this stuff, then they can get you into transhumanism. So the transgenderism applied to kids is pedophilia. Applied to society in general, it is pushing us towards transhumanism. And so where do they do this? They do it with the kids who are autistic. They wanted to say the autistic mindset tends to see things in black and white. And so if a child doesn't feel like a girl, and this might be because they don't feel
Starting point is 02:11:18 pretty enough to be a girl, then they believe that they must be a boy, said a psychotherapist and founder of gen spec an organization that is critical of child transitions autistic people also tend to be very literal so they can believe that if people use their preferred pronouns and names then they must be a boy children on the spectrum also tend to be gender non-conforming and non-conforming in many other ways. And this leads them to believe that perhaps they must be a boy. You know, as I talk about this, autism has become very common. We've known, however, only one child that was autistic. And I had a listener who contacted me. His name is Daniel, and he asked us to pray for his son, also Daniel. I'll just mention his name again.
Starting point is 02:12:10 It made me think about it, reading this again just now. Pray for him. He has severe autism, vaccine injury, and it has been an incredibly difficult thing for the family. So please keep Daniel Joseph in your prayers as well. After 145 days in Twitter jail, Phil Johnson is granted release after deleting a tweet about drag queens. He is the executive director of Grace to You, where John MacArthur teaches. He was locked out of his account.
Starting point is 02:12:42 And of course, John MacArthur had the large church in LA that started meeting in July of 2020. And, you know, had a lot of, um, uh, that was a really big deal because he was so well-known. He'd been interviewed many times by Larry King in years past. Uh, Phil Johnson was locked out of his account nearly five months ago on Twitter for suggesting that a school hiring a drag queen as a crossing guard for kindergarten was quote, taxpayer funded grooming. He had about 72,000 followers or still does on Twitter,
Starting point is 02:13:14 but has not been able to post anything since the middle of October, 2022. The tweet prior to the one that got him banned was a retweet from Libs of TikTok reporting that a Denver, Colorado school brought in a drag queen to be a crossing guard at an elementary school during national walk and roll to school day. And then he wrote, Harbinger of a new progressive strategy for grooming school children, and that is drag queen crossing guards. And actually, I think when he put that out,
Starting point is 02:13:50 he put in, instead of grooming, he put in GR asterisk asterisk M-I-N-G. Well, we don't need to be afraid of censorship. We need to spell it out. Let's call it what it is. And he did in the follow-up tweet. He said, hiring drag queen school crossing guards for kindergartners is essentially taxpayer-funded grooming.
Starting point is 02:14:13 And he spelled it out there. So Twitter support never acknowledged his appeals and never offered him, he said, quote, a fair hearing or rational reason for why they regarded his tweet as hate speech. And again, I stand by the statement that I made about Twitter censorship being as bad or worse under Musk. He's brought back some, a few high profile people and, uh, he's used that as a beard to get people to think that they are not watching and not censoring content that he doesn't like. So, um, he said now Twitter has quietly erased the dictum informing the, that if I deleted the offending tweet, they would regard that as a former formal guilty plea to the charge of hate speech.
Starting point is 02:15:01 So that's what they said. So we're locking your account. If you delete that, we're not going to let you tweet unless that's deleted. But if you do delete it, we're going to consider you guilty of hate speech. So now I have deleted the tweet because they took that down.
Starting point is 02:15:20 Although I stand by it and I deny that it was ever hate speech. I'm telling you, hate speech, these Republicans, with their anti-Semitism law there in Florida, what was the guy's name, Fine, Randy Fine, is pandering to their Jewish voters, but what they're doing is they're trying to criminalize
Starting point is 02:15:38 anti-Semitic speech there. They're trying to make it a felony. That's a very dangerous, and on the basis of hate speech, that is such a dangerous idea. I cannot support that. And it remains to be seen whether or not DeSantis will. As I talked about before, several bills
Starting point is 02:15:55 that were out there, he has pushed back against one of them that would register blogs. He's denounced that. Good. Glad he did it. And I had a lot of listeners who I offended because I called him out. He's denounced that good, glad he did it. And I had a lot of listeners who, um, uh, I offended because I called him out and he didn't, uh, pull it back until after, uh, I had talked about it. It had been sitting there for three or four days without any sitting there over the weekend. I think it was on a Thursday, the stuff rolled out. And of course the GOP didn't say much
Starting point is 02:16:21 about it, but, um, they said, well, it's not going to become law. I said, still, they ought to push back against this thing. Well, he did. DeSantis did push back on it on Tuesday. But he hasn't pushed back against this anti-Semitism nonsense and hate speech, weaponizing stuff using hate speech. That's a very, very dangerous thing. Therefore, now, after 145 days in Twitter jail, without even the privilege of a single
Starting point is 02:16:45 phone call, I'm finally free to tweet again. Well, you know, that's the way this whole thing works and it still works that way under Elon Musk. Here's another example of how this is the LGBT and the transgenders have set themselves up as a point of attack on Christianity. An LGBT-affirming school district has now banned student teachers from Arizona Christian University. And listen to what they have to say about it.
Starting point is 02:17:16 This is Arizona's largest elementary school district, severed ties with Arizona Christian University, preventing its student teachers from working in public school classrooms. You know, when you become a teacher, you have to do an internship, right? And so they said, we can't do it. Now the university says it plans to defend its students from a wrong and unlawful decision. Three of the five school board members identify as LGBT. Tamilia Valenzuela often wears cat ears.
Starting point is 02:17:52 You say, here's your furry stuff again. I can be anything I imagine. I can be Peter Pan. I can be Napoleon Bonaparte. I can be a cat. I can be a dog. I can be a boy. I'm a real boy. Describes herself as a bilingual i can you see the nose on pinocchio growing as he says that right um describes herself as a bilingual disabled neurodivergent queer black latina she pointed to wording on a Christian University's website that emphasizes biblical mindedness. She says, how does that hold space for people of other faiths? She said, how does that hold space for people, for members of the LGBT community?
Starting point is 02:18:37 Well, quite frankly, it doesn't. You know, Jesus's claims were exclusive. That's why it's so offensive to people. You know, as I said the other day, people don't like to be told that they're sinful. People don't like to be told that there's nothing they can do to make up for that sin. They don't like to be told they have to accept what Christ did for them because that's like charity. I don't want charity.
Starting point is 02:18:59 You know, I have entitlements. You know, that's what I ran into with the Democrats when we were talking about Hillary's health care takeover. Don't call it charity. I'm not that's what I ran into with the Democrats when we were talking about Hillary's health care takeover. Don't call it charity. I'm not taking charity. I'm entitled to this. You give it to me. You know, that type of thing.
Starting point is 02:19:11 That's what people want. All that is an offense to accept the love of Christ. That's what charity means, love. And they don't want to hear the bad news, and they don't want to accept the good news of the free gift. And they are especially upset about the exclusivity. Yeah, there's no other name by which you can be saved. They don't like that at all.
Starting point is 02:19:37 So yeah, it is going to be offensive. So what? We should never shy away from that as Christians. It was always that way. And the church only grows when it follows Christ. And he said, they're going to hate you because they hated me. If they don't hate you, woe to you if all people speak well of you. We don't set out to try to offend people.
Starting point is 02:20:02 But you have to understand that the basic premise attacks people's self-worth, their pride and everything else. So, she expressed concern that Arizona Christian University is, quote, committed to Jesus Christ and accomplishing his will. Can't have that.
Starting point is 02:20:20 And promoting the biblically informed values that are foundational to Western civilization including the centrality of family, traditional sexual morality, and lifelong marriage between one man and one woman, they said. Oh, how intolerant. How intolerant. She said, it makes me feel like I couldn't be safe in that school district. Well, they're not threatening you.
Starting point is 02:20:42 They're just trying to tell you that there's a Mack truck headed your way. Yeah. Nikki Gomez Whaley, who's president of the school board, remember three of them, three of the five are LGBT, said, for me, this is not a concern about Christianity. There are plenty of Christian denominations who are LGBT friendly. Well, they're not disciples and followers of Christ, right? Christ said, if you're your disciple, if you follow me, if you keep my commandments, they don't care about his commandments.
Starting point is 02:21:19 So they can call themselves whatever they want, but they're not following Christ. But she's fine with that. Just like, you know, the Chinese Communist Party is fine if you call yourself the church of the three-person self and you go through and you cut out the parts of the Bible that the CCP doesn't like. Well, if you cut the parts of the Bible that the LGBT religion doesn't like, you're fine with them as well. This particular institution's strong anti-LGBT stance and their strong belief that you, doesn't like you're fine with them as well this particular institutions strong anti LGBT stanchion stance and their strong belief that you believe this to
Starting point is 02:21:50 your core and you take it out to the world well that's right signing they did sign an anti proselytizing agreement but that's not enough according to them not, we're going to take a break and we will be right back. The David Knight Show is a critical thinking super spreader. If you've been exposed to logic by listening to the David Knight Show, please do your part and try not to spread it. Financial support or simply telling others about the show causes this dangerous information to spread farther. People have to trust me. I mean, trust the science. Wear your mask. Take your vaccine. Don't ask questions. Using free speech to free minds it's the david knight show
Starting point is 02:23:08 well welcome back i have um on rumble thank you for the tip on rumble uh donald dumpster he says the website stormy daniels and friends for trump in 2024 is still available yeah so is stormy daniels i guess and so is donald trump i guess there's nothing gets in no vows get in his way uh i just always say you know the people have these pride parades it says isn't that interesting you know the lgbt they have pride parades and they don't realize that pride is perhaps, uh, the thing that is singled out more than any other in the Bible. Right. Uh, but they're proud of their sin.
Starting point is 02:23:54 And, uh, I said, uh, you don't, it's funny because you don't see adulterers having pride parades, right? Except when you talk about Donald Trump, I had to change that because I'd said that for years and said, no, actually Donald Trump is the first person with his first wife. Yeah. They even did a movie, the first wives club, uh, to, uh, push back against it because it was just so disgusting the way he kicked his first wife to the curb. Um, and then of course, you know, second, third and so forth. I mean, and I, I said that in the context, I said, third, and so forth. I mean, and I said that in the context. I said, look, you know, what this guy does in his personal life,
Starting point is 02:24:29 that says something about his character and his integrity, doesn't it? It's one of the reasons why, even though we've had all these presidents who've been secretly having, you know, the adulterous affairs while they were married, they always had the decency to try to hide it, unlike Trump. And why did they do that? Well, because Americans had the discernment to understand that if somebody is going to be disloyal to the oath that he takes to his wife, you can't trust them with elected office either. And so they had to pretend that they were not like that, but not Donald Trump.
Starting point is 02:25:02 And he gets away with it, you know, because his people, his people are so good. He could shoot somebody in the street. They would still vote for him. And he did. He shot people all over the world and they still will vote for him. DeSantis has yanked the Hyatt Miami liquor license. This is the Hyatt in Miami. They thought they were such big shots that they could do whatever they wanted.
Starting point is 02:25:22 And so they had a drag queen Christmas show with kids present. And it's pretty amazing what they did with kids present. They did so much stuff that it filled a 17 page complaint. It was filed by the department of business and professional regulations on yesterday. And they went through and talked about all this lascivious exhibition in front of children younger than 16 and so forth 17 pages of it and i won't read all of it because some of it's pretty explicit acts of simulated sexual activity, lewd, vulgar, and indecent displays.
Starting point is 02:26:07 Performers were rubbing prosthetic female breasts against faces of audience members. They were intentionally exposing prosthetic things to the audience, intentionally exposing their buttocks to the audience, simulating sexual acts, graphic depiction of childbirth and or abortion, and no problem with kids being there.
Starting point is 02:26:32 Truly amazing. You know, and I talked about this when there was a show that was put on in Knoxville, and you had all the elected officials in Knoxville saying, well, there's nothing we can do about it. There's nothing that's prohibiting drag shows with kids. And, you know, so I don't have any law that I can enforce. I said, yes, you do. You have this law, lascivious exhibition in front of people younger than 16.
Starting point is 02:26:58 That's always been a crime. You know, enforce that. I'm glad that they did say specifically and explicitly say now in Tennessee that drag shows are considered to be cabaret. They are adulterated entertainment. And I'm glad that they put that in there. But they already had, you're not allowed, nobody has ever accepted this kind of behavior with kids. As a matter of fact, and you look at this and it's like, well, what would they do?
Starting point is 02:27:26 Would they police us? Yes, they would. I remember my father took me to Las Vegas. We're passing through, we're on our way to Disneyland, so we stopped through Las Vegas and gave me an object lesson. And he said, you see, and at the time, you know, people would dress nice. Now everybody dresses like hobos and tramps, you know, but you could tell then if somebody was on the ropes financially, by the way that they dressed. And he said, look at
Starting point is 02:27:56 these people, they're just pouring all this money in and look at the way they're dressed. And then look at this casino. You understand how this thing is rigged? You know, it was a practical aspect of it. And I always remember that lesson. I did the same thing with my kids. And when we went into the casino, they have pathways that go around the slot machines and the gambling areas and stuff like that. And you can walk, but you can't stop, you know If you do, you certainly can't walk through the slot machine areas with your kid. But if you just stop, they'll come over and say, you've got to get your kid out of here. You can keep walking, but you've got to get out of here.
Starting point is 02:28:34 You can't stay here. You've got a kid with you, right? Those are slot machines. These people are engaged in lewd, lascivious, vulgar behavior towards kids. Since when has that ever been allowed? Never. And they could stop this. As a matter of fact, they were warned when they advertised it not to do it by the state authorities.
Starting point is 02:29:03 And they defied that. It's like, we're the Miami Hyatt. We can do whatever we want. You wouldn't dare do something. Well, they've taken away their liquor license, and good. I'm glad they did. The press secretary for Governor DeSantis said sexually explicit content is not appropriate to display to children.
Starting point is 02:29:20 Doing so violates Florida law. Governor DeSantis stands up for the innocence of children in the classroom and throughout Florida. See, I'm glad he's doing that. I'm glad. And, you know, I don't support anybody. I support their actions. And he's taken a lot of good actions.
Starting point is 02:29:38 There's a lot of things that he should have done, could have done, must do to protect innocent life from these vaccines. He's taken a limited response to that, and that's reprehensible. This is a good thing. This is necessary. Regulators had warned the Hyatt Miami to change how it marketed the show before it went live, according to a copy of a letter that is included in the complaint. The letter accused the marketers of putting on a performance that constitutes public nuisances,
Starting point is 02:30:06 lewd activity, disorderly conduct where minors are present. And that's the key thing. Uh, so they said, therefore the department is revoking the venues license for the sale and consumption of alcoholic beverages. Sexually explicit content is not appropriate to display with children and you
Starting point is 02:30:24 don't need a new law. It's always been against the law. I mean, even lewd behavior like that is typically prohibited for adults to engage in. I remember a case in North Carolina. There was a sitting judge, and he got drunk at some Christmas party or something, and he meandered out Christmas party or something. And he, uh, you know, meandered out and to the garden and relieved himself.
Starting point is 02:30:48 And in process, he exposed himself and he was kicked off of the bench. There were no kids there. Uh, sexually explicit content is not appropriate to display to children doing so violates Florida law. The drag queen Christmas was promoted as, quote, an all-ages show. The hotel claims that it's not to blame for children going into a vulgar show.
Starting point is 02:31:12 Well, the casinos lose their gambling license if they allow kids to go onto the floor. Why is that? So again, as Biden had said, stopping kids from being permanently mutilated, that is stopping it is sinful. And so DeSantis has now responded to that absurd statement from this senile devil. DeSantis hit back at Biden. He said it's not sinful to prohibit the mutilation of minors. It is not acceptable for the federal government to mandate that procedures like sex change operations be allowed for kids. That is the abomination that is in front of us.
Starting point is 02:31:58 And then we have Glenn Youngkin who went on CNN and he's there with Jake Tapper, and they've got a setup for Glenn Youngkin. And quite frankly, I don't think he handled it pretty well. CNN knew exactly what they were doing. They have a trans kid, a girl who is pretending to be a boy, and go up and ask Glenn Youngkin, the newly elected, you know, he got elected this last election cycle, as a governor in Virginia, an establishment Republican,
Starting point is 02:32:35 goes up and asks him a question about this transgender issue. And they have his or her parent there in the audience. The dad is there and CNN is all set and they've got the camera on the dad. And as soon as he shakes his head in disagreement, you know, CNN airs that right away. They're right ready to show that reaction, but I want you to hear, and that's kind of, you know, the whole thing was a setup, but I want you to hear Glenn Youngkin because he thinks he's being really clever. Listen to what he has to say. Together as a family. So governor, I want you, I want to bring in Nico, a 17 year old student from Arlington, Nico. Governor Youngkin, your transgender model policies require that students play on the
Starting point is 02:33:24 sports teams and use the restrooms that correspond with their sex assigned at birth. Look at me. I am a transgender man. Do you really think that the girls in my high school would feel comfortable sharing a restroom with me? So, first of all, Nico, thank you for, again, asking the question and being here tonight and engaging in this important discussion. I believe first, when parents are engaged with their children, then you can make good decisions together. And I met your dad, and I'm glad that you're both here together. That's really,
Starting point is 02:33:53 really important. I also think that there are lots of students involved in this decision. And what's most important is that we try very hard to accommodate students. That's why I have said many, many times, we just need extra bathrooms in schools. We need gender-neutral bathrooms. And so people can use a bathroom that they, in fact, are comfortable with. I think sports are very clear. And I don't think it's controversial. I don't think that biological boys should be playing sports with biological girls.
Starting point is 02:34:26 There's been decades of efforts in order to gain opportunities for women in sports, and it's just not fair. And I think that's pretty, that's non-controversial and something that I think is pretty well understood. So now they cut to the dad, he's shaking his head. Very difficult discussions, and I am very, very glad to see you and your dad here together. Isn't that great? They've got a family there. So, you know, what do we do? You know, let's say that you've got, and we've had these situations where people have children and they sexually abuse them or they physically abuse them or whatever.
Starting point is 02:35:00 It's like, well, I'm just glad that your dad is here and that we're all doing this together. Isn't that great? You know great you know your family here and i'm you know no there are certain times when we don't honor that when the parents are abusing the kids psychologically physically sexually that's what we're talking about here so i don't know why he feels that that's um something that he needs to kowtow to taking the whole family to sodom and gomorrah huh wow what a trip yeah exactly it's uh so yeah we're all he's trying to navigate this uh minefield that is there here's the problem well what do we do you know i i look like a boy our girl's going to i'm still a girl uh but our girl going to be, and he calls himself a man.
Starting point is 02:35:46 He's not a man. He's 17 years old. Or she is. So she's 17, pretending that she is a man and an adult and not the case. But look, the problem is the schools. And so I fault Glenn Young, just like I fault DeSantis for trying to make these schools work. They will never work. And it's always going to be enforcing somebody's religion against somebody else, making somebody uncomfortable. It used to be the religion that was forced on
Starting point is 02:36:15 other people is Christianity. Now the religion that's being forced on people is secular humanity or LGBT religion or the green religion. Everybody has got their gods and they're fiercely worshiped, right? So education is not something the state should be involved in. You're always going to have this kind of conflict. If the government is involved in education, that's the right answer. But of course, that's not anything that any Republican is going to say anywhere. So he said, yeah, I first, I believe first when parents are engaged with the kids, he says, I met your dad. I'm glad that you're both here together. That's just fine. uh so he said yeah first uh i believe first when parents are engaged with the kids he says i met
Starting point is 02:36:45 your dad i'm glad that you're both here together that's just fine you know and if your dad wants to mutilate you i'll just let that happen as well so he's not the only republican who's trying to do this stuff as um this is an article from life site news and they point out yet again that trump and carrie lake had an lgbt party at mar-a-Lago the very night that Biden signed the so-called Respect for Marriage Act into law. So this is about pandering. But there's some good news. Here in Tennessee, the Tennessee Senate has approved a ban on gender marker changes on official documents. And they're doing this even though they stand to lose billions,
Starting point is 02:37:31 billions with a B, that's 1,000 millions, from the federal government for doing so. See, if we're going to act with integrity, if we're going to do any of this stuff, we're going to have to not be bribed or blackmailed by federal money. And I'm glad that they're throwing that out. Tennessee doesn't need it. Tennessee is really well run. Tennessee has, in the last few sessions, gotten rid of four major taxes.
Starting point is 02:38:03 And yet they still have a surplus. That's one of the reasons why Senator Nicely is saying, we need to invest this surplus in gold, and at least some of it. We've got the surplus. And he also, in opposing toll roads, he said, why aren't we building the roads? We can afford to build the roads. We don't need to turn this over to a private-public partnership
Starting point is 02:38:23 of multinational corporations. We don't need to be giving away these things. That is the hallmark of the globalism, right? But, you know, Tennessee, by the way, they don't have high taxes. Their 49th in terms of taxes just came out yesterday, ranking all the different states. The average, they looked at all the different States. Um, the average that they'd looked at all the different things, excise taxes, sales taxes, property taxes, income taxes, all those things. They roll it together.
Starting point is 02:38:52 Um, and, um, I think it was New York was at the top or something like 12.75. There was only one state that had, uh, and, and Tennessee was like five and 0.75 or something like that. And, uh, Alaska was like 5.75 or something like that. And Alaska was about 5%. They're the only one that had lower taxes than the state of Tennessee. And I hope they won't be bribed. They don't need the money, and they shouldn't take it. And so it is something that right now the governor has not said what he's going to do one way or the other.
Starting point is 02:39:26 But they run the risk of losing billions in federal education funding. That's the purpose of the Department of Education, to bribe and to blackmail people so the federal government can control the schools and control the schools, you control the kids. Even the sexuality of the kids. So the Senate bill would define sex in state law to mean a person's sex assigned at birth, which the proposed legislation says is immutable. That's their word, immutable.
Starting point is 02:39:54 Under current state law, transgender people in Tennessee can change their gender marker on identity documents, including the state-iss issued driver's license if they're able to prove uh their gender affirming surgery or a court order tennessee law does not allow individuals born in the state to amend their birth certificates to accurately reflect their gender identity robert's bill uh that was uh put in and the guy's name is, um, his full name. Anyway, his name is Robert.
Starting point is 02:40:27 So I think they got it on the next page here. Robert's bill passed the state Senate on a 27 to six vote along party lines. That's the kind of majority that Republicans have here. It now heads to the Republican controlled house for consideration. Tennessee's governor earlier this month signed the nation's first law restricting drag performances and banned gender-affirming health care for minors. It's not yet signaled whether or not he supports the legislation. But on the backside, what are they risking?
Starting point is 02:40:59 They risk losing more than $1.2 billion in federal education funding by enforcing the measure because it conflicts with federal nondiscrimination rules. No, it's because Biden wants it. That's why I say, you know, Trump owned all of that stuff because if he didn't agree with the lockdown measures that were being done by Whitmer and Cuomo and Newsom or the Republican governors like DeWine, all the rest of these. If he didn't agree with that, he could have stopped the COVID money,
Starting point is 02:41:29 but he kept it coming. So he agreed with it. More than $750 million in federal grants may also be withheld. So they could take it up to about $2 billion. And funding for state and local government, including Tennessee's education and health departments, may be jeopardized. So you see, you either play along with our game and you change their gender on official state documents or we'll withhold $2 billion from you.
Starting point is 02:41:56 It just underscores the importance of having financial independence from this system and the importance of a Tennessee reserve system really underscores it. And other States need to do the same thing. You got to figure out how you're going to get independent of this bribing, blackmailing filth, this black hole we call the federal government. So, um, the guy who, um, uh, put it in there, Roberts, said, I mean, if defining sex as it has traditionally meant for years in the dictionary, if that costs us federal funds, well, then there's something wrong with Washington. These people are based. I tell you what, it's great. He says it's not a novel definition. It's not a new definition.
Starting point is 02:42:49 We're not doing anything different for us to define in terms when we need to in the code. In other words, we're not the people who are on the attack. You radicals are the people who are on the attack. You are doing the new thing. We're not doing the new thing. This is the way it's always been. Radicals are the people who are on the tank. You are doing the new thing. We're not doing the new thing. This is the way it's always been. I tell you, it is amazing to see this. I'm glad to see not everybody here is grounded.
Starting point is 02:43:14 I mean, we've got the lieutenant governor who was just engaged in some public stuff. He's a mess. But, you know, a lot of these guys are, that's one of the reasons why, uh, we lot pitched his tent towards Sodom. We picked up our tent and got out of Sodom, which is also Austin, Texas. I just, that place is a, it's a sanctuary city, uh, for that kind of stuff. Meanwhile, other states like Minnesota is now becoming a sanctuary state for child sex changes. It is because these are children, the sex changes are always wrong. They're minors.
Starting point is 02:44:01 They don't have the maturity to do this you know these same people would absolutely have a fit if you had someone marrying at the age of 14 or something like that great great great great great grandmother's 98 she's got like you know hundreds of hundreds of um you know several hundred uh kids that are there. You know, they had a picture of her with their newest great, great, great, great, great granddaughter or something like that. She got married when she was 14. You know, these people would have a fit if something like that were to happen.
Starting point is 02:44:37 Meanwhile, they have absolutely no problem with girls who get pregnant and Planned Parenthood won't tell law enforcement about it. That's statutory rape in most places because they don't have the maturity. So we as a society, you know, that was legal in the 1940s, and it was customary throughout most societies for a very long time for kids to marry young. But, you know, we keep people infantilized in these Peter Pan schools. And so most of the kids in our society really don't have that kind of maturity to make that kind of decision.
Starting point is 02:45:13 And that's been something that's been there as part of law for so many things, but let's talk about marriage. They would have a fit about that, but the same 14 year old can go in and mutilate themselves. And Milwaukee governor Tim Walz has signed an executive order. This is not a law. He's doing this by executive order. Declaring that he'll protect and support those who are receiving
Starting point is 02:45:35 experimental medical sex change interventions in the state. And executive order 2303 comes in response to several U.S. states recently moving to ban so-called gender-affirmative care for minors. It's mutilating minors. It's a poorly defined psychiatric disorder,
Starting point is 02:45:56 many experts believe, as a result of a social contagion. Of course. Peer pressure, pressure from authorities. It is the world that these kids live in. Entertainment, news, school, peers, authority figures, all pushing this. It's really crazy how you need an expert to tell you what would have been common sense, what, five, ten years ago. Yeah, yeah, it is. It is absolutely amazing. His order defers to the authority of major professional associations,
Starting point is 02:46:25 such as the self-serving World Professional Association for Transgender Health. What do you think they're going to do? That's their business, right? It's kind of like asking Pfizer, is your vaccine safe? Oh, you vouch for it? Okay. Last year, that organization recognized UNunuch as a valid gender identity. Sterilization, in other words.
Starting point is 02:46:49 Whenever I see this, oh man, look at this. This cartoon world we live in. Whenever I see that, eunuch, I can never forget. When I was in the pit band, we did it. Funny thing happened on the way to the forum when I was in the pit band we did it um funny thing happened on the way of the forum um when i was in school and there was my son is shaking his head and so that you know this guy's got this this house and and the girls are getting out of the um out of the uh the boat and the eunuch is standing there fanning him and he goes how many times have i told you don't fan the girls and he goes ah you'll be a eunuch all your life.
Starting point is 02:47:26 You're never going to be promoted from eunuch. But it is permanent. And so kids do not need to be making that arrangement. That was an arrangement that was typically done for slaves, right? And that's how they see us. You know, they would sterilize the slaves and then put the men there to, uh, you know, um, kind of be the guard or whatever of, uh, of the women. Um, the availability of gender affirming healthcare services is essential to the health and wellness of LGBT. He says, well, if that's the case, you know, we're talking about, this is all new stuff.
Starting point is 02:48:01 Just like, uh, Senator Roberts said in Tennessee, this is all new stuff. just like Senator Roberts said in Tennessee. This is all new stuff. I'm not the one who's changing anything. This is the way it's always been done. And you know what? The way things are always done, we didn't have 30% of the girls contemplating suicide. Why is that happening? They will take this and turn it exactly upside down.
Starting point is 02:48:25 Oh, well, we need to do all this stuff and we need to start in kindergarten because if you don't push this transgender stuff, kids will start committing suicide. It's just the opposite. It's them pushing this stuff that is pushing kids to think about suicide. This was never happening before. This was never something in our society. And now it is. Because of this insanity,
Starting point is 02:48:45 this depravity and this insecurity that is being pushed by these people on children. The order makes reference to States that have enacted laws mandating that parents be investigated for seeking experimental sex changes for their children, claiming that these actions pose a grave threat to the health of young people who believe themselves to be members of the opposite sex. And whatever happened to this biological defense of the LGBT movement before they started coming
Starting point is 02:49:16 for kids, right? They were telling everybody, well, there's a gay gene. This is biological. We don't have any control. It's biological. Now they're throwing biology out the window. Well, because that's what liars and deceivers do. They adjust their arguments for whatever is most expedient at the time.
Starting point is 02:49:35 And that is really where we are right now. When you talk about groomers, I tell you, the person you should see his face right there next to it on the dictionary is this guy from california senator weiner uh he's now vowing to stop a california bill that requires schools to inform parents about gender transition yeah he wants to uh this is something that was introduced by a republican this this guy must be the last Republican in California. Bill Assele, if I'm pronouncing that correctly. I didn't know they had any Republicans left in California.
Starting point is 02:50:12 The last of a dying breed. It's kind of like the last Mohican, right? He said in his bill, the parents and guardians of pupils enrolled in public schools have the right to be notified in writing within three days from the date any teacher, counselor, or employee of the school becomes aware that their child is doing either the following, identifying in a gender that doesn't align with their sex or using sex-segregated school programs and activities, blah, blah, blah, you know, that type of thing. Well, this is what we would have always done. He said the bill was motivated by the care of physical ed teacher Jessica Tapia, according to NBC Palm Springs, who was fired after challenging a school district policy that required her to lie to conceal information from parents about students who wanted to transition to a different gender. She is currently suing the school district. So Senator Weiner led the effort to make California a sanctuary state
Starting point is 02:51:12 for minors seeking transgender drugs, another one just like Minnesota. And he said that he vowed to make sure that this parental notification does not happen there in California because the kids belong to them. California school has forced students to watch sexualized drag show led by their peers. Get your kids out of school. Um,
Starting point is 02:51:40 though this, um, incident was picked up by libs of TikTok and what the parents are saying in response to this. They had had a assembly performance where they gathered to celebrate various cultures. One student who introduced this was cross-dressing and said, gender and sexuality aren't a race or ethnicity, but it's still a culture. And he said, pride is a part of your culture, and pride in itself is a protest. Well, he's right about that. It is a protest against God.
Starting point is 02:52:22 God always sees pride as a protest five additional drag queens were introduced in the performance at one point or another all six kids threw off an outer garment to show more revealing clothing underneath they were either wearing tight pants or short skirts and the performers began the show with provocative movements so this is a sexualized show. Again, in my day, says the old geezer, any kids who were dressed in tight pants or short skirts would get a one-way ticket to the dean's office. And then you would have your parents called and you'd be taken home. They had dress codes and they were rigorously enforced and that was i just went to a government school it wasn't some private religious school or anything
Starting point is 02:53:10 that was the difference in our society then and now it really has become sodom to go marxist so one mother said my son said to me mom i'm just going to put my head down said one mom. I texted him back and said, you can leave if you're not comfortable. He said, no, we're not allowed to leave. How have we turned this upside down? Like I said, you would have your mom called if you dressed this way. If you acted this way, you'd be expelled from school.
Starting point is 02:53:39 You'd have your mom called to take you out of school. Now you can't get out of the assembly when kids are doing this in your face. Amazing. Another mother added sexualizing kids under the umbrella of inclusivity is where it draws a line. Well, is that where you draw the line? Are you going to take your kid out of school? Because again, they believe that they have the right to do this.
Starting point is 02:53:59 They're operating in place of you. You've surrendered your kids to the schools the way they see it. As a matter of fact, when Libs of TikTok put it out, she also put out a screenshot of the email that was sent to parents before the event. Listen to this. It explained, quote, during the day, students will be attending one of two shows in the morning. Due to space constrictions, these assemblies are for students only. Don't want any parents seeing any of this stuff, right?
Starting point is 02:54:31 So the school district, Elk Grove Unified School District, defended the mandatory drag performance attendance. They said all performances at the multicultural assembly were approved by school staff and administration with the support of the district so again that is uh where they are in this uh society that went one final thing here about the insanity of all of this a health group is now recommending breast and cervix cancer screening for trans women
Starting point is 02:55:05 good news you don't have cancer of those parts because you don't have those parts um look at this now is this insurance fraud is this the purpose of this right maybe somebody can run up a bill imagine being a woman who actually has cancer and you get to bump down the list becomes psycho needs their imaginary screening it is insane isn't it just and that's the insanity of all this stuff you know you're gonna go get breast and cervix men who don't have a breast or cervix and then we get to what is i think really kind of at the center of this, um, where we failed, what we failed in our understanding of just, you know, basic morality, but also the Christian principles and David French.
Starting point is 02:55:55 I had a listener who contacted me a couple of months ago and said, uh, my pastor really likes David French. He said, I'm not so sure about it. I looked him up and it's like, Ooh, man, you know, French. He said, I'm not so sure about that. I looked him up and I was like, ooh, man, you might want to talk to some other churches in the area. David French says to stop calling the chemical castration of children abusive. And this is an article from protestia.com. Anyway, he said David French said he would be unknown, well, as they point out,
Starting point is 02:56:33 he would be unknown in evangelical circles if Russell Moore, this is a guy who tried to, you know, send the Southern Baptist down this woke dead end. Russell Moore is no longer with him. He went to a publication, I think it's Christianity Today or something. I saw that he just did an interview with Rick Warren. Rick Warren has just retired, and he put in place a team, a woman pastor. And of course, they had been part of the Southern Baptist Convention. He said, well, I'm not doing that because I'm trying to count out the culture. And so he said, I've got some biblical reasons for it. It's like, oh, you do? Let's see him. I saw him.
Starting point is 02:57:07 It's like, no, I think Rick Warren, he struck it rich when he did a book called The Purpose Driven Life. I think Rick Warren needs to do another book called The Culture Driven Church because that's what he's selling people. Anyway, Russell Moore helped to make David French there. But I think this is interesting because this is the way that people will sell this type of stuff to you.
Starting point is 02:57:30 He does a very interesting pivot. First, he criticizes schools for hiding information about gender transition kids from parents. Oh, so he's on our side, right? You're not going to do this without getting the parents involved, right? He, you know, you're not going to do this without getting the parents involved, right? And then once your guard is down with this guy, then he says, um, well, though it should be legal to mutilate kids if the parents agree. So I'm all about parents being involved, but you know, if the parents want to mutilate the kids, then we need to get out of their way, right? We can cut off their breasts. We can pump them full of hormones, and we can do all the rest of this stuff and let them pretend that they are a male.
Starting point is 02:58:12 So David French suggested that helping a child transition into a different gender is not necessarily abusive, and we ought not to presume that they are being abused, even though you're giving them some of the chemicals that are used to, in the case of boys, you're giving them chemicals that would be used to sterilize a rapist. So we don't want the state interfering with that, right? Now, this is a radical, unthinking, libertarian position that is detached
Starting point is 02:58:43 from any, um, any understanding of the real world and children, quite frankly. Yeah. I don't want the government involved in a lot of situations. I certainly don't want the government involved in families and CPS has been a very abusive thing.
Starting point is 02:58:58 Uh, but you know, it exists because there are parents who will abuse their kids and they need to be stopped. And there are teachers who will abuse kids. Here's one in San Diego. She was teacher of the year accused of having an inappropriate relationship with a 13 year old.
Starting point is 02:59:18 Well, what's wrong with that? I mean, we have sexual performances that these people, oh, you should be allowed to do that, 13-year-old kids, kindergarten kids, all the rest of this stuff, right? I can understand why she would think that that's not really an issue because she teaches in the schools. You know, you can do whatever you want to with the kids at that age. We got a comment from Handy on Rockfin. He says, good news.
Starting point is 02:59:49 I arrived during a shift change at the one hospital that was calling the police on us for not masking. I walked right through their shift meeting unmasked and nothing was said. My partner on the ambulance yesterday was just ordained as a female minister. She's a pro-trans, pro-LGBT, has a trans kid in the hospital that was calling the police on us, just hired her as a chaplain. Okay, well, that's what we see. Yeah, we have to understand. We don't know where the lines are anymore. We are a society that has lost its way, haven't we? Everything upside down.
Starting point is 03:00:23 Well, it's good to see you there, Handy. He's got a sub stack eye, Handy. Thank you for listening. That's the end of the show. The David Knight Show is a critical thinking super spreader. If you've been exposed to logic by listening to The David Knight Show, please do your part and try not to spread it. Financial support or simply telling others about the show
Starting point is 03:01:03 causes this dangerous information to spread farther. People have to trust me. I mean, trust the science. Wear your mask. Take your vaccine. Don't ask questions. Using free speech to free minds. It's the David Knight Show.
