The David Knight Show - 16Jan24 Iowa Horserace is NOT Important — But What it Tells Us About the Voters and the Future

Episode Date: January 16, 2024

Madness in Iowa — angry and crazy people voting for an angry and crazy politician. Mad MAGA and their Mad MessiahIowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina don't really matter for the Presidential race. It's media hype.So what should YOU focus upon? Ramaswamy — a lesson in why Trump is hated by his handpicked cabinet members and why those who grovel and kiss his boots are nevertheless thrown under the bus. Then there's his lawyers who keep quitting. Why?What the founders said we should look for in leadersWe should be happier because we own a LOT less now —the top 5 richest people in the world more than doubled their wealth after the globalist lockdowns of Trump and others — while the bottom 5 BILLION people lost significant ground. What's Davos focused on now?We're not at the mercy of their technology or their plans to isolate us from each other.

Music Using free speech to free minds. You're listening to The David Knight Show. As the clock strikes 13, it's Tuesday, the 16th of January, year of our Lord, 2024. Well, I just want to tell everybody, thank you so much for your concerns and prayers. I'm feeling much better today after some heart issues cut the show short yesterday. We're going to take a look at Iowa. It kind of went as predicted,

but there's still much to learn about it. And we're also going to take a look at Davos and what they are up to. More of the same, but of course, taking the next steps as they always do. Chaos from the inside and then laying down this tyranny iteratively. We'll be right back.... I got the horse right here. The name is Paul Revere.

And here's a guy that says if the weather is clear, can do. Yeah, well, the weather wasn't clear. But we'll take a look at the horse race that is always a part of the election coverage we'll look at that just a little bit but i want to go deeper as to what this tells us about our country and looking ahead and so as we see yesterday we had trump clear his 50 percent hurdle that was what people were looking at will he he get over under 50%? He got 51%. DeSantis, who had been touted as dropping into third place, far down in third place, actually came out in second at 21%. Haley at 19%.

Vivek at 8%. And he's out. He got thrown under the bus big time by Trump. He's not MAGA. He's not one of us. I need his votes, his votes. Give them to me. And so maybe that's what got him over the 50%.

Who knows? But, uh, by that got 8% and he's gone. And, uh, so as they were looking at this and the run up to this, a record cold weather in Iowa, one barometer for Iowa turnout in the cold was church attendance, they said the day before. And one pastor they talked to said, well, our church attendance was down 50% yesterday. But I don't think there's a one-to-one correlation with caucus attendance, but maybe the same people will attend both.

And so I would want to ask him, well, how was your church attendance when Trump locked it down in 2020? How was that? A lot of pastors have not recovered. It's caused, and I'll talk about this later, interesting research from George Barnett at the end of 2023. He said, look at what happened to the church in general, to pastors specifically, and to Christians in 2020.

It was devastating. Devastating. And has not recovered. It's continued to go down. But, you know, Trump is the guy for self-labeled evangelical Christians. And they will not hold him responsible, of course. You know fauci even is not responsible for what happened i didn't do it it's the people who did what i said to do they're the ones who are responsible not me i just told them what to do they're the ones who did it kind of like nuremberg upside down because our world is upside down. Our constitution is upside down, inside out.

Our morality is upside down, inside out. Our responsibility is upside down, inside out. The buck doesn't stop with the president. Even if the buck starts with the presidency, Trump told people what to do and he put Fauci in charge to tell people what to do. But then when people do what Trump and Fauci told them to do, it's not their fault, and nobody holds them responsible for it. That's the thing that bothers me about this. That's what's really scary.

I said when it got to June of 2020, I thought, well, that's it. This country's over. We're not getting out of this. And, of course, we really haven't haven't had a bit of optimism as people began to wake up you had a lot of people who quietly did not comply they started making connections you had some brave people in the medical and scientific industry that put their careers well basically threw their careers away to tell the truth. And so there is a movement, and it is gathering speed.

We still have people running around wearing masks. And we still have all of these government control mechanisms in place. And we have, and this is the most troubling thing as I look at this. This is what bothers me. I mean, I'm feeling like it's june of 2020 again when i look at these people who worship literally worship trump i've said this before that well no we're not he's on our idol you know jesus is my savior trump is my king or president or whatever it's like no jesus is christ Trump is an antichrist, at the very least.

Perhaps the antichrist. I never called him the antichrist. Alex did. Alex said most likely candidates for the antichrist. He said it on air. Donald Trump and Elon Musk. And yet he continues to praise them. What's that say about Alex?

He's praising people he thinks might be the Antichrist. And whether or not they are the Antichrist, they are Antichrist. They are opposed to Christ. They're opposed to his lordship, his morals, to everything that he represents, everything that he represents, everything that he taught. And so how is it that in Iowa, that is, you know, the Iowa Republican Party that is supposedly at the beck and call of people who label themselves evangelicals, how is it that they are so focused on this guy?

You see, the difference between Trump and Fauci is Trump just didn't just tell people to do this lockdown, mask up, wait for the vaccine, it's good. He didn't just tell them. He paid for all of that. He paid for the vaccine. He paid for the lockdowns. Stimulus checks that went out. But, of course, more than 50% of the money went to fewer than 5% of the companies.

And it was supposed to be to help small business. But most of the money went to big businesses like trump's hotels they changed the definition of a small business so that rather than it being a business that had fewer than 500 employees they had fewer than 500 employees at a particular location how many mcdonald's do you know that have fewer than 500 employees that have more than 500 employees at a location? None, of course. Probably not even for the big hotel chains like Trump's or like the Pritzker family, the Hyatt hotel chain. And so what was the turnout?

Well, it was 109,000 for the GOP caucuses compared to the last time there was a competitive caucus in 2012 there was i'm sorry and uh compared last time it's 2016 and um uh at that one it was 186 000 so they went from 2016 where it was 186 000 down to 109 000 so it's 59 of that is that because of the weather uh i don't know is it because of the choices that they have uh one pastor said i'm really praying for a better choice than donald trump many of us truly believe that he is an embarrassment and a shame to biblical christianity well um here's your better choice. I've got a better choice than Trump or any of the people on the ballot. It's called nullification.

Nullification. And thanks for the reminder from Newbecker. He sent me a John Birch Society, jbs.org alert. Support nullification to enforce the constitution act now. And at the bottom of this email that he forwarded to me, um, it was, um,

uh, it says an all uppercase letters, you know, like, like Trump screams in his tweets. It's important. It is at the local level where efforts must be made in 2024 folks. That's the takeaway from Iowa.

It's at the local level. Uh, Trump is, uh, you know, this, this Trump thing is a juggernaut or maybe more accurately an avalanche. It's like a snow avalanche. It is out of control. It will bury everything that is good. But if you go to John Birch Society, JBS.org, and they said now is the time for you to contact your state senator

and state representative with phone calls and emails as provided for you in this link. So you got that link or just go to jbs.org and you'll find the link. And they'll tell you who your state senator is, who your representative is at the state level. And they'll tell you things to send them to try to push for nullification. Washington is gone, folks. It's gone. Even if there were somebody who is on our side, even if there was somebody who was talking about the issues

that will destroy our lives, literally kill us, take everything that we have, let's destroy this country, even if there was somebody who was focused on those existential issues, they wouldn't get anything done in Washington. It's too corrupt. There is no movement. There is no slate of people that have an agenda that is about us.

They are all self-serving narcissists. None of them more obviously so than Donald Trump. They all speak in the royal we, but it's all about the me, the me. That's what it's about for each and every one of them. And so if we're going to work on the we, we need to, those of us collectively at the bottom, we need to get busy at the state and local level. That's where we can stop this stuff.

If we get the right people, and there are some good people in local government, we need more of them. If we got the right people in local government, they can interpose. That is what your focus should be on. Well, who do you support for president? If you don't support Trump, you must support Biden. No, I don't support Biden or Trump. What do we do then? Well, get over your fantasy of electing some kind of a benevolent dictator.

Caesar Augustus, the benevolent dictator. They all thought, right? What did he do? Well, he told Joseph and Mary told uh uh joseph and mary to saddle up while she's pregnant and go to another city to pay tax the entire world uh so uh yeah so much for benevolent dictators even if you got a good one it doesn't last more than one guy or very long you know power corrupts and ultimate power corrupts ultimately and completely. And so, again, all of these candidates are really irrelevant to the future.

They're irrelevant to what Davos wants to do. They're irrelevant to the fourth turning. They're irrelevant to all of these things. Perhaps you can get somebody who's not as much of a warmonger as Nikki Haley but for the most part they're going to be blocked by DC and the sad thing is is that these two front runners who don't even care to debate issues I mean they're already running as dictators all this stuff in the press about trump being a dictator and of course there are interviews with um with people there do you think trump would you vote for trump even if he's going

to be a dictator oh yes i would you see the maga people this is why i say it's very frustrating for me to look at this i look at this and um you know we we don't have to be governed by these crazy people who keep doing the same thing and expect something different. And I'm talking about the MAGA grassroots crazy people. Trump and Biden are working in their own interest. It's crazy to think that you're going to keep doing the same thing, get a different result, of course. Right. And so we have to take care of this at the local level. But when you look at this, all of the print about an analysis of this election and all the rest of this stuff,

it really is largely irrelevant even for the horse race. You know, even if the weather's clear. I got the winner right here. If you go back and you look at who won in past elections, okay? Who won in Iowa in 2020? Well, you had Pete Buttigieg won. How'd that work out for him? Did he win the presidency? No.

Who won in 2016 on the Republican side? You had Ted Cruz won. When you look at the 2012 Iowa Republican caucus, you had Rick Santorum won that. Prior to that, in 2008, you had Mike Huckabee. So what are we so focused on all this stuff about? It's about creating a narrative. You know, they've been, for the last year,

they have been putting out these polls. And then by this summer, it got to the absurd level that they said, well, here's our polls. It's over. Trump's won already. Yeah. He's won all these different, um, contests and he's, he's, um, going to be the nominee and then either Biden will win or Trump will win

depending on what their polls are saying. They're constantly changing. It's like these people who predict the weather and they're trying to predict climate change. They can't predict the weather that accurately uh but anyway winning all the early contest doesn't necessarily bode well for the general election because it goes even further than you know we're supposed to look very carefully at iowa at new hampshire at south carolina yeah did you vote for six? He's over here, right?

Did you vote for six? Six for two, that's right, the prisoner. So when we look at the results, this is a table of who won Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina. By that point, we are supposed to know who the next nominee is going to be, if not the next president. And so when you look at 2020, again, Boudiguet won Iowa. Then Sanders, Bernie Sanders won New Hampshire. Biden won South Carolina and went on to take the nomination of the presidency. 2016, Bernie Sanders won in New Hampshire.

Hillary Clinton won in Iowa. And Ted Cruz won in Iowa. So in 2016, Clinton and Cruz win Iowa. Then in New Hampshire, you got Sanders and Trump. And then South Carolina, you got Clinton and Trump. So it's a split decision there. Trump went on to win. 2012, in Iowa, You had, of course,

it was an incumbent Obama. So there wasn't any real primary in the Democrat side of the Republican side. You had a Santorum in Iowa. You had Romney in New Hampshire. You had Newt Gingrich in South Carolina. Romney got the nomination lost to the incumbent obama 2008 you had and this is when obama was running obama won iowa but huckabee also won iowa then in new hampshire you have clinton winning and mccain winning and then in South Carolina, you have Obama and McCain. And so McCain wins two of those three, goes on to win the nomination, lose the presidency. 2004, Kerry against incumbent George W. Kerry won in Iowa.

Kerry won in New Hampshire. Edwards won in South Carolina. Kerry goes on to take the nomination and lose to the incumbent president. Finally, last one. The year 2000. You had Gore win in Iowa. Gore won in New Hampshire. Gore won in South Carolina.

He won the nomination, lost to Bush. Bush looked weaker, if you look at those three. Because even though he won Iowa and South Carolina, he lost to McCain in New Hampshire. So what do we make of this? Well, past performance doesn't indicate future performance, right? Like they say on the stock market, that's always the case. But we can look at the horse race aspect of this and um but the bottom line is if you look at these people that i mentioned

all these different winners there how much of a difference do you think it would have made if any of them had won would they have stopped any of this stuff would they have repealed the patriot act or any of that type of thing i really don't think so as a matter of fact you know when we look at romney versus obama as i said many times it was about instituting obamacare we could have gotten romney care but romney care was exactly like obamacare. Mitt Romney is governor of Massachusetts had already put through Obamacare in Massachusetts with the help of Ted Kennedy. You know, by the way, when you look at, um, since I mentioned Kennedy RFK jr,

many people are very disappointed in him. I'm not really surprised. Uh, on MLKJ day, Many people are very disappointed in him. I'm not really surprised. On MLKJ Day, RFKJ said that he understood why the FBI was surveilling Martin Luther King. Oh, really? It's come to that? I don't support that. And I support that at all. And I always said from the very beginning, as RFK Jr. was presenting himself as a champion of free speech,

I said, okay, I would believe it if he would admit to the fact that he used to be for censorship of his opponents on the climate change issue. But he wouldn't admit that. He wouldn't do me a couple. And even when somebody finally challenged him on that, he lied. He said, I was talking about the corporations. I wasn't talking about the Koch brothers. Well, you don't give a corporation three hots and a cot.

And he went on to say, we give a death penalty to the corporation. So then are you saying, you know, death penalty for the Koch brothers? You kill their corporation, you put them in jail is what he was saying, and he would never admit to that and say, well, you know, I used to think that, but after this happened to me with the vaccines, I've got a different issue on it. Now, when it came to the issue of war and when it came to the issue of, you know, the CIA controlling our government you could look at that and you could say okay well maybe he's genuine about that except his daughter's in the CIA and as

Gerald Salenti pointed out on Friday his daughter's now his campaign managers he's turned pro-war and he's kicked out Dennis Kucinich. But of course, it's not a surprise to me that RFKJ is pro-war. His son was fighting in Ukraine as a volunteer. His daughter works for the CIA. So, really? I never believed that. The one area where I thought maybe there was something positive from RFK Jr. was the vaccine thing.

In spite of the fact that he always bragged, all my kids are vaccinated and all the rest of the stuff. When he had a Christmas party in the middle of all this insanity, his wife put out in the invitations, you got to show that you've been vaccinated or wear a mask i forget which one it was it was uh it's either the uh 2021 or the 2020 i think it's 2021 so i think it was about vaccines so you know he's got this mixed thing about vaccines he says i support vaccines uh but i just want to make them safe and we need to do the science to make them safe

well I don't support vaccines in any way shape or form and I looked at it and I thought well the most charitable explanation of that might be that he doesn't want the label of anti-vaxxer he doesn't want people's minds closed down okay I'm gonna pigeonhole you over here as an anti-vaxxer and I'm gonna disregard everything that you have to say. So maybe what he's trying to do is keep his foot in the door while he sells the encyclopedia. But that's not it either. Total fraud. That's what I'm saying.

We've got to focus on nullification, folks, at the state and local level. And prepare. Prepare for your family and yourself. Instead, we've got this, uh, Laura Loomer or Laura Looney, as I call her. Um, and the run up to this, and I didn't get to it yesterday. I was going to talk about it yesterday. Uh, she claimed that Nikki Haley was using her friends in the defense department to affect the weather so that it would harm turnout for Donald Trump.

Well, even if you believe something that was that crazy, you got to understand that the MAGA people are so committed and so nuts for their candidate. They're cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs and they're going to go through the storm to vote for this guy. If it's going to hurt anybody it would be the soft support of Nikki Haley so who bono right maybe Donald Trump used his friends in the Pentagon to do the weather change I don't know but it didn't make any sense at all so but it is interesting to see what the MAGA people have become. You know, they've gone from QAnon to Lunanon, I guess, with Laura Looney. The Lunanon people. That's what we should call them.

The Lunanons. The crazy nuts. And, of course, she's been associating herself with Trump, and he's very happy to be associated with her. He had her to his Bedminster Country Club over the summer. He's praised her effusively. He's endorsed her twice when she ran and failed in her attempt to get elected to Congress. She's also very close friends with Roger Stone and with InfoWars.

I never drank the Laura Lo looney kool-aid but i'm sure that stew peters and info wars guys are all kicking themselves because they didn't think about weather manipulation and the political consequences of how that could be used in iowa they could have gotten a lot of press off of that. And it's true when Alex operates. It doesn't matter how embarrassingly stupid. If it's sensational enough, it's good, right? It is. Being infamous is good as well.

You want being famous is good. Being infamous is as good or maybe even better. Because, you know, you want to um, being famous as good, being infamous is as good, or maybe even better because you know, you want to have the right enemies. And if you've got the right enemies, everybody supports you. Just take a look at Trump. That's what this is about. Many people said it's about supporting him so he can get even get his revenge. in april um there's a big backlash to reports that uh trump wanted laura loomer in his campaign and of course you had uh donald trump jr support her as well yeah we need to have her in as press

secretary i think that'd be the perfect um the perfect person for the Trump presidency as a PR spokesperson. I think she would. I support her for that. I think if we can't have good government, let's at least make it entertaining, right? A high-ranking official said Laura Looney was no longer going to be hired, according to the New York Times. Maggie Haberman said before the intense blowback,

Trump had been telling aides to give her a job because he was obsessed with her obsessive deranged attacks on desantis and this is what she said we all know that nikki haley has a lot of friends in the defense industry military industrial industrial complex. She's losing in Iowa. And now Iowa is set to get hit with a once-in-a-decade blizzard as Donald Trump is set to dominate the Iowa caucus. Is the deep state using HAARP to rig the Iowa caucus? Looks like weather manipulation to me. Take a look at this weather radar below and how the incoming snow accelerated out of nowhere. I don't know where there you go.

Well, you know, when Stu Peter pointed out, um, you know, um, the, uh, COVID is real. It's actually snake venom in the water. And harp was rigging the election with a snowstorm, uh, against Trump. And then we have this. And like I said, she is absolutely deranged in her obsessive support of Trump. And unlike people like Stu Peters and Alex Jones, the thing that makes Laura Looney really crazy is she sincerely believes this stuff. They're pulling your leg. They don't believe this stuff they're telling you. And Alex tells you that the vaccine is sugar water. They're pulling your leg. They don't believe this stuff they're telling you. And Alex tells you that the vaccine is sugar water.

He's pulling your leg. He's showing for Trump and things like that. But when Laura Loomer tells you this stuff, she really believes it. That's what's really crazy about it. And the fact that Trump would talk about having her in his administration. So she had a little bit of an episode leading up to this not just the uh not just the weather but she took a uh she she came after benny johnson and she said why did you delete this tweet screenshots are forever way to be disloyal to president trump

you want to talk about fascism how does fascism help way to be disloyal to defur talk about fascism? How does fascism help? Way to be disloyal to the Fuhrer. See, the fascism is with his supporters as much as anything else. I certainly won't ever forget this. He said, really nice of you to stab him in the back after you bragging about how you were around him or something like that. Anyway, some people said, well, he has a right to vote for whoever we want. I thought that MAGA was about a constitutional republic where he has a right to vote for whoever we want i thought that maga was about a constitutional republic where we have a right to vote for whoever we want he doesn't owe you an explanation uh but he did give an explanation he said hey guys i want to clear something up we deleted a poorly worded tweet sent earlier so now he's going to

grovel to people like laura looney this is how pathetic this is. Even when you've got somebody who is not drinking the Kool-Aid, he comes out and apologizes to the Kool-Aid drinkers. We're in Iowa filming a documentary for our In the Arena show about the caucus. We are not campaigning or being a surrogate for any campaign, and we're not being paid by anyone. And they still came after him. You know, this guy, Randy the Savage, he's still there. Oh, that's weak. That's weak.

You've got to be fully on board with Trump, or you're their enemy. So you can't go there and talk to people about the candidates. You can't do a documentary about the caucus thing because the crazy and angry people, crazy and angry just like their leader, Trump. So we have the mad MAGA. And again, you know, just mad can be angry. Mad can be crazy. And so that fits the mad maga people behind their mad messiah both crazy and angry

some of the comments on here stealth patriot america is going to go the way of every other civilization yes that devolved to child sacrifice exactly right exactly right why would god save it at least texas is doing something tennessee is doing a few things even if it's not so extravagant yeah you know when we look at it and i've talked about this in the past i'll mention it again um the uh the whole area there where the you know before israel went into that area uh in the land of canaan and things like that but also you know just the whole seafaring um cultures that were there uh as well as north africa we had the carthage you know the empire carthage that went um in conflict with rome and um it was just um you know, you go back and you look at what these places were doing,

and they were so heavily into child sacrifice. In northern Africa, where Carthage was, you can still find the Tophets where they have just mountains of children's skulls. They would have their perverted orgies with Ashtra or ashira poles and things like that um and then they would um later on in the year uh they would get rid of their unwanted pregnancies by telling people that if you sacrifice your child to ball putting them on you know passing them through the fire they would heat up this altar and you know, passing them through the fire. They would heat up this altar and you just put your baby on the fire and just burn it to death.

Is that any more painful for the kids and ripping them apart limb by limb that we do now? But you know that just like Planned Parenthood tells people, you don't want to be burdened with the financial things of this child. And so so you know you can make yourself prosperous by surrendering your child to baal and god destroyed carthage you know became a thing used rome to do it and a cato i can't remember his cato the elder the younger finished every speech that he had and one more thing carthage must be destroyed and they did they did destroy it every culture that destroys its own uh destroys its own children

goes that way uh some uh similar one two three i'm in iowa and i went to the caucus it was nauseating to see the trump worshipers i'm so so sorry for you. I'm sorry you had to witness that. It must be something that will forever bother me if I had seen that kind of stuff. It really annoys me. But thanks for trying. It's always good to participate. And you do need to participate. I'm not saying we don't participate in it.

I'm just saying don't put any hope in it participate in state government i've said that over and over again and it really is true the people who um you know who do that understand how much more effective that is even elon musk has said that he said you know everybody's focused on the thing that they have the least leverage and control on and he's saying that is the richest man in the world. If anybody had any leverage and control, it would be on that. But he says, you know, he doesn't do it. George Soros doesn't do it. He said, you focus on the local elections.

That's why Soros focused on electing local district attorneys and state attorneys general. I talk a lot about sheriffs and local governments, but you need to focus on those races as well because that's what's turned uh california into a chaotic kleptocracy you know just looting everywhere the looting leftists and that happens because of the district attorneys they got so that's a very important race And that's going to have more effect on your life than who is present. Just take a look. Whether you're talking about life under Trump or life under Biden, it was actually these district attorneys in San Francisco and L.A. and other places like that that have made life hell on earth.

And just destroying the stores there, even the big box retailers that are funded by unlimited amounts of money off of Wall Street can't survive in that area. So they're just destroying those communities. Totally, totally destroying them. Atomic Dog says, I guess I'm weird because I really didn't care much about Iowa. I'm just like, whatever. Morris just hit in my local reps. Good.

That's where you should be.rian and deb mccartney those locals will never make it far with the corrupt system our reps had no clue what interposition was um yeah it's um it's it's an educational thing for us right and we have to educate them about that we have to educate them about this uh nace about the nacs the natural asset companies these other mechanisms to to destroy our society you know a year ago most of the local reps didn't know anything about cbdc well they do now and so we've got to educate them about that and even if they uh push this nac thing through with the sec and remember uh january the 18th just two days from today is a deadline for getting your comments in and you can find those links to see other comments and where you can comment if you go to that interview that i had

with courtney last um was it last Thursday? Yeah, last Thursday, I think. So, again, you can find where to go in those links. If you don't know what I'm talking about with NAC, take a look at that interview. But you've got a lot of state reps that don't know anything about that. Angus Mustang, I would fear that even the local people become corrupt once they're in the system. Happened a lot here in Connecticut.

Oh, yeah. Yeah, absolutely will. Absolutely will. We'll talk more about that. There's no guarantee that the people at the local level are good. As a matter of fact, sometimes the people at the local level are worse than the people at the state and federal level. That can happen as well. I'm just saying that you've got more of an opportunity to have an influence.

Your vote counts more. Your participation in it, your volunteer work or your donations or any of that stuff counts more at the local level. And you also have the advantage that nobody really pays much attention to the local level. So if you can get somebody who's good at the local level, if you can, and if there's somebody, support them. Don't try to encourage somebody to run or do it yourself. Guard Goldsmith, good to see you there. We're getting more of the local politicians who seem to recognize some of the Federalist principles, but they mostly live in the rural areas.

That's going to be the case. And the city, you can forget about cities as well. KWD68, secret service agents need to wear white jackets and drive padded vans. Yeah. Get some long sleeves for these candidates. Florida Patriot. Yeah, you hear all these candidates say what he or she will do to, quote, save America, unquote. I want to hear one that says we'll return the power to the people day one. Trump and Biden want to be dictators.

That's right. The past and future dictators. They were dictators as president, and they will be dictators as president in the future. Midwest gunner living in small, close-knit rural communities is the best bet at this point. That's right. There's no perfect solution to anything. We can just do some of the things that we know would work if we can get them executed. So to take a look at where we are on this,

it was kind of interesting to see the Daily Skeptic out of the UK saying a leading German politician calls the second leading party, and the one that is really rising very quickly the alternative for deutschland afd calls afd supporters flies on a pile of excrement we'll say and a daily skeptic they said well you know back in 2016 hillary clinton famously called trump supporters a basket of deplorables. But if you think that that was demeaning, think about what Marie Agnes Strack Zimmerman, one of the leading representatives of Germany's ostensibly liberal Free Democratic Party,

has now compared supporters of the rival Alternative for Germany, Alternative for Deutschland Party, calls them flies on a pile of excrement. Well, as I said many times, Hillary may have called us deplorable. Trump called us non-essential and shut down Main Street, which is worse. And of course, if you think that this German politician calling her opponents flies on a pile of excrement. Here's what Trump had to say about Washington, DC said it is a rat infested graffiti infested pile of excrement. He wants to be Lord of the flies, I guess.

Um, so, uh, the, uh, yeah, it doesn't really change much, does it? But, um, the Trump fans, as we were talking about the Trump fans, this country needs a dictator. Now this is a report that was done by, uh, the young Turks. I call them the young turds speaking of a pile of excrement. Uh, but the guy who did it, did in a very um professional way uh and he just asked them you know do you think this country needs a dictator and he let them uh wax eloquently about why they think the country does need a dictator here's that report four years of president biden

re-elected you know you don't have to like the words that come out of the man's mouth, but sometimes in life, we all need a good paddling from the principal to set our life on the right track. Trump said on his first day he's going to be a dictator for a day. I like that. Yeah, I like that. Would you rather have Donald Trump as a dictator for four years or reelect Joe Biden for four years? I would rather have Donald Trump. I'd like to see the repeal of the Roosevelt law so that he can be a president for a lot more than four years. But we, this country, needs a dictator. I hate to say that, but it's the truth.

Donald Trump said in a speech that on day one for a day, he would be a dictator. What do you think of that? No idea. I don't know. Would you rather have four years of Donald Trump as a dictator or four years of Joe Biden as a president? Trump. As a dictator? Maybe. Would you rather have four years of Donald Trump as a dictator or four years of Joe Biden as a president? Donald Trump all the way. Even as a dictator? Yes, yes.

Yeah, it's great. Dictators are great. I remember when we had our first dictator and everybody was proud of it. And it bothered me so much to hear somebody called a drug czar. Remember who that was? That's William Bennett. We're going to make William Bennett the drug czar. And I thought, wow. somebody called me a drug. Somebody called me a czar about anything.

I'd come back at him. It's like, how dare you call me that? He was proud of it. He owned it. He liked that. He went by that. He loved that title. Drug czar. Yeah. We've got an illegal, unconstitutional war on drugs and illegal unconstitutional prohibition and i'm going to be a czar because we're so post-constitutional of course that was under president george the first bush george hw that he did that well they don't have a problem with a dictatorship and of course neither does the left left and everything they want to do they want to dictate to us what we can say what we can do what appliances we can have in our homes and one of the people that he interviewed i didn't play it uh the whole interview there but one of the people i said yeah i'd be fine with him as a dictator

because we've got a dictator now and we do biden thinks that he ought to dictate what we eat what we drink uh what we have in our house our appliances how much energy we use he thinks we ought to you know every aspect of our life he wants to dictate especially what we say first amendment's dead under him and so you got um iowa evangelicals. Trump is ordained by God. And again, wearing the jackets. His legal problems are really what have galvanized them, says this Washington Post headline. And it's true. Trump's current legal problems,

including allegations involving paying hush money to an adult film star. Yeah, he's, let's say, having relations with a porn star, paying her hush money, and now he's being sued for that. And then his allegations of rape and defamation with another person, and that made him into a hero. of rape and defamation with another person. And that made him into a hero. As one of these people said, you know, he is our David and our Goliath. He's like, well, have you read that story?

Do you realize that Goliath is the bad guy? Are you saying that Trump is our good guy and our bad guy? I might be able to get on board with that analysis. I don't know that he's David, but he certainly is a Goliath, especially right now. So Iowa Senator, finally somebody got it right. Iowa Senate President Amy Sinclair has endorsed DeSantis. She's critical of this video. God created Trump.

And oh, by the way, in his final rally, that's how he ended the final rally. He's so proud of that phony, blasphemous commercial. God created Trump. I think the best response I've seen of that, somebody had a meme they put up, and it was Groucho Marx. And you've seen the Groucho Marx where he's got a matronly middle-aged woman that's taller than he is. And she's all dressed up. He's talking to her in this still picture.

And she said, um, God gave us Trump. And Groucho says, what? He run out of locusts. Yeah. So he got, yeah, he he's there he's there because um god ordained it but is he there as a blessing or as a curse that's the question anyway the president of the um iowa senate said if you have

to make yourself into a Christian by making a video, then you're probably trying too hard. Maybe instead you should just act like one. I guess that's why Amy is president. She knows how to distill this to its essence. And so you have a couple of um pastors that they talked to the washington post uh they said they're not very happy with the fact that trump called the state's six-week abortion ban terrible he called the uh abortion ban that uh desantis did too harsh

all the rest of the stuff too harsh. I guess, you know, stopping the abortion of babies in early ages is too harsh. You should wait until they're a little bit older and then dismember them. Right. Isn't that what they're really saying? Isn't that what Trump and Pence and all these people? No,

we need to make it 15 weeks. Why do you want the babies to be more cognizant of what's going on or feel the pain more? What is it that you want to increase the age of killing babies and what do we stop do we stop at birth and so they said well that's just a slap in the in the face of the people in the state of iowa who frankly launched him in 2016 to say these abortion rules are wrong uh and so meanwhile haley's been very wishy-washy about the abortion stuff actually supporting it and uh saying that it was too harsh

saying that you know if you got a child who they got a test for um a genetic condition or something you should be able to kill your baby you know so i So I guess it's okay to kill babies if you're doing it for a eugenics reason. So the deep radical left, said one of them, is ruining our culture. I'm sorry, she said that. She said the deep radical left is ruining our culture and we're not going to let boys play girls' sports. Well, that's kind of interesting because as she's trying to make that statement, it came out that she really doesn't have any concern about this transgender stuff.

We'll talk more about that later but first the the iowa evangelicals rallying around trump's holy war headline from the independent of the uk he convinced and this is the key you know they make these inflammatory derogatory statements but really it's true and this is theirle. He convinced his supporters that his legal problems are their own. You see? His legal problems. What has he done about the J6 people? Nothing.

Didn't even talk about them. Didn't pardon them. And then he didn't talk about them for more than six months. He didn't even mention it. You want to talk about legal problems that we got? How about the medical martial law that he did isn't that a legal problem isn't that a problem that he doesn't care what the law of the constitution says he's going to lock us down whenever he feels like it i think that's a problem but of course

he's playing this the god created trump thing says he was sent by god to quote shepherd mankind and that he ends his busy week in the oval office by attending church on sunday and he keeps playing that at rallies just like he continued to brag for years about the poison that he created he wasn't ashamed of that he's not ashamed of this blasphemous fantasy this garbage because again he's you know he knows that his people will suck that up just like they sucked up all these nfts showing him as a superhero doing this and doing that so chuck norris put together some quotes advice from 10 founders on how to vote and these are actually quotes he said he took from wallbuilders.com but here's some interesting ones from founders sam adams said nothing is more essential to the

establishment of manners in a state than that all persons employed in the places of power and trust be men of unexceptionable character and what that means is that there's no exceptions and they're good at character. Well, they're really good except for this one flaw in his life. He's a sex addict or he's an alcoholic or a drug addict or all of the above. Or he hangs out with Jeffrey Epstein all the time. No, no exceptions in their character.

The public cannot be too curious concerning the character of public men. John Adams said, it's necessary for every citizen to in some degree be a statesman and to examine and to judge for himself the tendency of political principles

and measures. So let us examine then with a sober, a manly, and a Christian spirit. Let us neglect all party loyalty. And let us turn to facts. Let us believe no man to be infallible or impeccable in government any more than in religion. And take no man's word against evidence.

Nor implicitly adopt the sentiments of others who may be deceived themselves like maga or may be interested in deceiving us that was john adams william penn whose statue biden wanted to take down this provides maybe some insight as to why biden doesn't like him i think it's mainly just because he's a white european but you know this would also apply i'd imagine that uh biden would want us to forget about men who say things like this governments like clocks go from the motion that men give them and as governments are made and moved by men so by them they are ruined too. Wherefore governments rather depend upon men than men upon governments. Let men be good and the government cannot be bad. But if men be bad, let the government

never be so good, they will endeavor to warp and spoil it to their turn. Maybe they will endeavor to warp speed it to their benefit. Noah Webster, in selecting men for office, let principle be your guide. Regard not the particular sect or denomination of the candidate. Look to his character. When a citizen gives his suffrage, his vote, to a man of known immorality, he abuses his trust.

And he sacrifices not only his own interests, but that of his neighbor. He betrays the interests of his country. And that's exactly what happened in 2020. Trump betrayed us. He betrayed our neighbors. He betrayed our country. William Patterson, the signer of the U.S. Constitution,

Associate Justice of the Supreme Court, and the second governor of New Jersey, quoted the Bible. Proverbs 29. He said, when the righteous rule, the people rejoice. When the wicked rule,

the people groan. John Witherspoon, last one I'll give you here, said, those who wish well to the state ought to choose two places of trust men of inward principle you know it's what they are that's what integrity means right it means that what you're saying is integral to your character you don't brag about how you know you uh clean up after your wife and do all the dishes and all the other stuff at the Oval Office and you go to church when you don't ever go to church.

That's not integrity. The Vindward Principle, justified by exemplary conversation. And he's not just talking about foul-mouthed Trump. He's talking about when he says conversation. He's not really talking about so much his talk as he is his walk. Does he live it, right? What is the habit of his life? The people in general ought to have regard to the moral character of those whom they invest with authority,

either in the legislative, executive, or judicial branches. So, you know, how do we get to this point? How is this no longer? I understood when this is not a thing with people on the left. They didn't have any moral standards. They didn't want to have any for themselves. So why would you expect them to have moral standards for other people? And yet the thing that drives me nuts on the right with the MAGA people

and with the Operation MAGA Bird Press that just wants to flatter and cajole Trump so they can get a large following, what bothers me about this is that they will speak out against everything that he did but then avoid the fact that he did it and cheer him on. And that's where we are. Now these people who, if it was something that was done, uh, hopefully if it was something that was done by anybody else, the kinds of things that we know that Trump has done in his personal life or in his public life, if it was somebody

else, if it was a different party, for sure. We know that they might've given a pass to somebody else who was part of the GOP, but they, um, you know, certainly would not give a pass to a Democrat. If a Democrat did these things, just take a look at Hunter and how different is Hunter and Trump. Hunter is addicted to drugs and to sex. Um, and you could say to money, but Trump's addiction to money is stronger and his addiction to sex is just as strong.

He's not addicted to drugs. So does that qualify him to be president? No, it's not good enough to be better in one area of your life than Hunter Biden. But look at how upset everybody is, and rightfully so, about the corruption in the Biden family. But they don't care about the corruption in the Trump family. They don't care about his connections with Jeffrey Epstein.

George Washington, finally in his farewell address, said, of all the dispositions and habits which lead to political prosperity, religion and morality are indispensable. Let it simply be asked, where is the security for property, for reputation, for life itself, if the sense of religious obligation desert the oaths? In other words, if you don't fear God god what makes people think you're going to fear the constitution or the public right and that's where we are right now we got people who like catch me if you can he said and let us with caution indulge the supposition that morality can be maintained without religion.

Reason and experience both forbid us to expect that national morality can prevail in exclusion of religious principle. And yet we have a situation where somebody starts talking about God in the public sphere, especially in politics. We are now taught that those are dangerous people. You better fear them. They might be Christian nationalists or something else. And so we reject anybody who openly talks about God. But as long as they say, well, I don't believe in anything,

or you can believe in whatever you want and we're fine. I don't have any principles. I don't have any religion. Well, that's good. We want people like that. And that's what we've got now. Because our society has adopted those ideas we wind up with people like trump and biden um kwd 68 trump may not be the father of lies but he's at the family reunions yeah that's right yeah he is uh he's just as detached as George Santos, quite frankly.

If you look at his financial statements or his political pronouncements. Guard Goldsmith, hey, guard. God created all of us, which is why I have a right to be left alone by Trump and the rest of the status. And that's right. That's the basis of the Declaration of Independence. That we're all created in the image of God. And from that standpoint, we don't have a hierarchy of betters. Brian and Deb McCartney, these people are delusional.

Yeah, in terms of the dictatorship. Angus Mustang, are there really these many stupid people in this country? Well, you see the results in Iowa. I'm afraid so. That's what is so depressing about all this stuff if you look at it. Again, we put no trust in princes or in horses and chariots and things like that. Put your trust in God. That's what you need to be looking at.

These people can't stop you from that. They can't get in your way in any way, shape, or form. You may or may not be able to get good people in office, in your local community, but you can go straight to the top and you can have someone who will essentially be the rock in your life and expectation of something that is going to be far better than anything you're going to have on earth. Anyway, DGA, David Trump has taught people who would stand against tyranny to set back.

Yes. To trust the plan. Yeah. And Alex thought that to do nothing, to never question Trump is all three DHS. That's right. The pacification of America. That's why I say, yeah yeah maga is the fifth column uh the operation maga bird press trump and these q anon people

and mike flynn and this reawakened america and all the rest of this stuff you know they are the fifth column they're the fifth column when it comes to morality, when it comes to Christianity, these phony prophets of Trump, people like Michael Flynn. They are the fifth column, spiritually and politically. They really are. Stephen Caspar, what have we had all along?

Dictators, Big Brother, on and on. That's right. Solocat 1980, Dictators, Big Brother, on and on. That's right. Solocat 1980. Dictator Donald ordered the lockdown and the clot shot funding distribution, coercion, and oppression. KW68, you already had Trump as dictator. That's right. So about nullification, Nancy Chambers says that nullification wouldn't work

in New Jersey because we have the best politicians money can buy. That's right. That's why I'm not living there. I know your circumstances may be different and you may not be able to escape that. The progress retort. Thank you for the tip. I appreciate that. So, David, I've been getting so much traction locally against the woes that we face.

Educate yourself. Find your local reps. Strategize a way to tie your vision to their campaign make yourself a player yeah we've talked about that and and one of the effective ways to do it and i talked to um uh the guy who's got the libertas foundation in utah talked to him about his um kids books um i can't remember the name of the kids books i've been out of the kids' books thing now for several decades. Tuttle Twins, that's it. And so, you know, talked about that.

And he said, you know, I helped get Mike Lee elected to Senate. He says, I don't really oppose him, but he hasn't been able to get anything done. Even when I agree with him on the issues, he can't get those issues through in the Senate. But he goes, we've been able to get so many things done at the local level. And just, um, as, uh, the listener pointed out here, he said, what you do is, uh, you get a few people together and, you know, say, Hey, we got a, an organization, we call it X or whatever, not X that name's been taken by Elon Musk, but, uh, we call it something or the other. And we'd like to talk to you about some of these issues. And of course they will, uh, they really do want to make

connection with people who are going to support them and vote for them and so they will listen about that even if they don't do anything they'll still listen but you can get together you can make your case and you may find that this person is maybe a lot more honest than you thought we don't want to be so cynical about politics that we disregard people at the local level we've got some really good people at the local level, a couple of them. Uh, we got some really bad people at the state level. Uh, but, uh, you know, we've got some good people, Frank, nicely, but Halsey and, uh, Tennessee really good guys, honest guys.

They understand. And they're trying to get things done. And, you know, there's been some really good changes in Tennessee in the last few years. That's one of the reasons why we wanted to move here. Uh, they got rid of the income tax. They've got constitutional carry and many other things like that. And so it is possible to find some honest people.

Get out your lamp and do a Diogenes search. You may find an honest man in the state. You can get behind him, and he may know some other honest people that you can get behind in some other ways as well um glenn beddingfield david who will you be voting for in the 2024 presidential race i will be voting for sheriff and i'll be voting for district attorney and when it comes to the slot there for president, I'll write somebody's name in. And, um, because I don't see anybody on the ballot that I would vote for. And I don't, and I'll write somebody's name in because I don't want somebody casting my vote for me. So I'm going to put something in there. I'm going to mark it up in a way that they can't reuse it,

but there's not anybody I support. And as I said before, the Washington government is a foreign government. It is foreign to the constitution. It is foreign to our principles. It is hostile to our country. And that's Republicans and Democrats in Washington for the most part, with few, very, very,

very few exceptions. Uh, solo cat, 1980 vote for either Trump or Biden is a vote for the continuing rule of the unit party. That's right. A dragon, a dragon, a Greta Hitler, Stalin, who are we going to vote for? KWD 68 election 2024.

And which need do you want the shot? Yeah, that's right. And then you bow on the other one to these people. Yeah. When you look at Hitler and Stalin, they both said they were socialists, right? The Nazis were the national socialists and Stalin was the international socialists.

And they were both fundamentally communists. What Hitler said about Stalin, he said, I think he's foolish. He nationalized the industries first. He said, you need to make that the last step that you use because you do need to have their expertise. So he was wiser, more cunning, you could say, I guess, the most cunning of the snakes in the forest.

And so he was more cunning about that. But essentially, you know, the end game was the same for both of them. And I've pointed that out many times when i talk about the nolan chart david nolan one of the founders of the libertarian party is a political scientist and he said so let's talk about freedom as if it was an issue and let's understand that you know if we have this um this political uh spectrum that is sold to us of a line a horizontal line that's just left and right that's not sufficient because we're told that stalin is hard left and hitler is hard right and yet there was so much alike they just use different lies to get into power and yet when they govern as totalitarians

they were so much alike so he said so we need something else so let's let's talk about liberty and we could ask people and they would go around with operation politically homeless and they would ask college students 10 economic questions that would have freedom or tyranny as an option and then they would ask them so 10 questions about their personal life personal freedoms 10 questions about freedoms. And they would chart that out. And if you take that chart and you rotate it 45 degrees so it makes a diamond, guess what? You find people like Stalin and Hitler together. Instead of on opposite sides, they are together,

down at the bottom. No freedom in your personal life, no civil liberties, and no economic liberty. And then as you've got people who are mixing these things up, you still wind up, by rotating at 45 degrees, you still wind up with a left, right, and center. And then at the very top, you have the people who support both liberties, and that's the libertarian area.

And, you know, Ronald Reagan said we need to go up toward freedom, at least his speechwriter understood at the time, but I'm not so sure about Peggy Noonan anymore. She's a great speechwriter. She seemed to have some real freedom and constitutional impetus, but she's been working at the Wall Street Journal for too long. Or maybe she was always that way and she just knew what people wanted to hear. And was very good she just knew what people wanted to hear. And it's very good at telling them what they wanted to hear. And now she's telling you what she really thinks.

Self-patriot. I would almost hate to see Thomas Massey run for president. Watch him become corrupted too. It's always a possibility. You know, that's the thing, you know, power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely and totally. And we wind up with totalitarians. Well, we're going to take a break.

And when we come back, I've got just a couple more things I want to talk about with politics before we get into Davos. And before we get into what is happening with money and the economy and with war, because all of those things are important as well. We will be right back. um so Analyzing the globalist's next move. Music And now, The David Knight Show. Jason Parker writes, write Antoni Arteman for president. That's right. Pure gold. I would support that guy.

Put us on a gold standard. I absolutely agree. Michael DeSilvia, vote for me. I'll fire everyone. Okay, I'll write your name in. How about that? And I want to thank people for me. I'll fire everyone. Okay. I'll write your name in. How about that? And I want to thank people for tips. Um,

it's just on rumble or rock fan. Rock fan. Okay. Uh, Steven Patterson. Thank you very much. That's very generous. And you've been very generous in the last week.

I really do appreciate that. Thank you. And, uh, Eric, thank you as well for the tip. You know, I,

I saw an article, they were talking about podcasts and they said, you know, um, podcasts are really dropping. Now now i don't know if they're really dropping but apple has such a big part of the marketplace that what they had been doing was um you know if you subscribe to a podcast they would automatically download it on itunes or whatever they call it now i guess music or whatever and um so they automatically download that now they say that if you don't listen i think to um five of them uh then they stop the subscription and so it doesn't download anymore and so i looked at that i thought well you know i as i said before i saw our our um saw our downloads on the podcast,

which has really been the mainstay of this broadcast. So many people listen to it in an audio format. And I saw, well, we dropped by half from where we were last year. And, of course, we had, and I started looking and realized somebody, and, of course, the speaker won't tell us who or what it was that they suspended us for. But it came the day after I said that the vaccines are simply murder because we had another analysis that was done that was talking about the timing and the magnitude of it.

I said it's just simply murder. So the very next uh actually later that afternoon after we put the stuff up that happened very quickly they declared our podcast to be spam now we've had that podcast with them uh for i've had that podcast there since 2017 we have several million it's probably about 10 million by now, downloads. They don't show those stats for more than a couple of years. And they called it spam. And they shut it down completely.

We didn't realize it for the weekend. And so we got zero downloads, zero revenue for two days. And then when they reactivated it, I didn't realize it until the end of the month that they had stopped our podcast going out to people. And so all of that may be a factor, and it may also be a factor of what Apple is doing. I just mentioned that to say that things are getting and are going to continue to get more and more difficult to do podcasts to speak against this stuff because they're weaponizing financial deplatforming as well as the social media deplatform, which has already been done.

I've been living under that since 2018. But now the financial deplatforming is beginning to accelerate. And AI will be used as a weapon to identify and then to censor various podcasts. Spreaker's already done that. And they wanted to sell their mechanism for identifying and censoring podcasts that didn't push the government narrative, they've been pushing that for a while, but it's going to become very widespread with artificial intelligence. And, uh, so thank you so much for your support.

Appreciate that. Uh, let's talk a little bit about, um, people who were thrown under the bus by our beloved leader of such strong moral character that I'm talking about, of course, our MAGA Trump. It was interesting because, as I mentioned yesterday, Trump got very upset with Ramaswamy, and he went off on him the day before the election. And so then to try a last-minute appeal to people, Ramaswamy went on with Fox News

and was interviewed by Steve Doocy. It was kind of interesting because he went on with his wife. I didn't even know he was married. I'd never, ever seen his wife anywhere with him, which made me think, where was Melania with all the victory parties and all the rest of the stuff, right?

You see Melania with a, no, she's not campaigning. And of course, Donald Trump wins his primary. She's not there either. I guess they're waiting to make the divorce official until after the election. Anyway, so Steve Doocy says to Ramaswamy, well, Trump threw you under the bus in recent days and uh so he said um he had already i guess one of the things that caused trump to do that he's dubbed himself as trump 2.0 i'm the successor to trump and trump's got a lot of baggage and i can do better and he's not maga don't vote for don't waste your vote and all the

rest of the stuff he said a vote for vivek is a vote for the other side he said he started his campaign as a great supporter he said i was the best president in generations and that's what he wants everybody to say as de santa said you got to kiss his ring and other things uh other parts of his anatomy anyway unfortunately now all he does is disguise his support in the form of deceitful campaign tricks, he said of Ramaswamy. So don't waste your vote on him. And so Steve Doocy says, why do you think former President Trump threw you under the bus over the weekend? And he's smiling about that. And Ramaswamy says, because Ramaswamy is very clever he says well i didn't get thrown

anywhere but i think there might be an attempt to do that and he says oh you were under the bus said ducy and the bus had snow tires on it and maybe chains who knows i mean are the marks on it? Continuing to downplay Trump's attacks, Ramaswamy said, quote, I took it in a lighthearted way, unquote. And they told the Fox viewers that they would, that have their head stuck in the snow, not to see the massive surge that he is experiencing in Iowa.

And he says, I'm going to shock you with my performance. Well, maybe he was shocked. He got 8% and he quit. He's gone. Ramaswamy is gone. He was being, as this article here says, he was, he appeared to be Fox's hand-picked Trump alternative just a few months ago. They were giving him a lot of press, very deferential to him. And, of course, Alex had supported, Alex supported trump then he supported desantis then he supported trump

then he supported ramaswami then he supported trump and he supports trump he's you know he loves him he loves him not that type of thing uh but um again you know when we look at a man of character what are they they're gracious and defeat and magnanimous and victory. But instead from Trump, we see that he is vicious and deceit and he is gloating and victory, the narcissist in chief. And he is going for all of his opponents. It's not enough for him to win with 52%. He's got to kick these people on the way out as we've seen him done with all the people in his hand-picked cabinet he eventually fires them and then throws stuff at him as they're leaving and so he's doing

this of course with his opponents as well trump savages all rivals slamming wasted votes as the nerves fray before the iowa caucus and this is just the day before said Nikki Haley can never win in the general election because she doesn't have MAGA and never will. And Ron, the St. Demonious, at least as MAGA light. Remember,

I think MAGA is almost all of the Republican party. I said, why? That's why I'm getting very upset with the Republican party. Never liked it. I always felt that it was a betrayal and distraction and part of the Uniparty, but it's really gotten particularly odious lately. I think the GOP has become the TOP, Trump's old party.

And it is a disgusting sight to see it. Again, Nikki is a globalist rhino he said and it's not going to happen for her or to saint demonius vivac votes are wasted should come to trump this trump writing make america great again well you know um nikki is a globalist rh So is Trump. And he went to Davos just like these governors that we were rightfully told. Hey, look, they're playing up to Klaus Schwab and the people at Davos, you know, people like Georgia governor Kemp and Virginia governor, um, going there. Youngkin and their excuses. Well, I'm just trying to get business for my state. And that's what Trump said.

But, you know, Kemp and Youngkin, they're globalists. Trump's not. Trump's not. He went there to troll them. Keep telling yourself that. All three of them are globalists. All three of them. Rhino globalists.

If anybody was ever a rhino, all three of them, Rhino globalists. Uh, if anybody was ever a Rhino Republican in name only, it would be the guy who hung out with Jeffrey Epstein, who partied with the Clintons, who was a New York Democrat all of his life. He's the ultimate Rhino. He's the mother of all rhinos. So, uh, you went some, you lose some Trump won big in iowa but guess what he's losing he's losing another two lawyers you know he had one lawyer quit and now two more lawyers have quit in just the last week or so uh he's lost three lawyers in just one day so he won one primary and he lost three lawyers in his legal.

Are these people getting a glimpse of his character? Is that why they're leaving? I mean, he pays them well. It's not like Mike Lindell who can't pay his lawyers. He's evidently paying these people with the money that he's getting from his MAGA supporters. But they're kind of looking at him and it's like, I don't think I want to be associated with this guy. Tacopino, if I'm pronouncing his name correctly,

a key lawyer who was representing Trump in his New York hush money case. This is where he hired a porn star as a hooker and then paid her off. And then the appeal of last year's ruling in the eugene carroll defamation and sexual assault or rape or whatever it was um these are people are looking at it's like uh you know i just this guy's so odious i don't even want to work for him anymore even if he pays me that says something doesn't it yeah usually you can even if you're a murderer you can find a lawyer to represent you but you know trump's having issues with that uh of course he is a murderer he is a mass murderer he's committed democide he's probably killed more people than anybody else with his shot that he continued

to brag about so if trump is a gop nominee 2024 race will be focused on his legal troubles says desantis what desantis doesn't understand is that both donald trump and the democrats want his legal troubles uh both of them want it and so that's one of the reasons why trump continues to court uh contempt of court, to openly show contempt in court. And it's one of the reasons why James Carville, when the Republicans started talking about impeaching Biden, he goes, how did we get so lucky getting impeachment here? That's going to make us real popular out there. He's absolutely right.

He was one of the most annoying and entertaining people I've ever seen. I never could understand how Mary Madeline, who was really calm and a Republican, could. They've been married all these years. I didn't seem to have a better marriage than most of these other politicians. Anyway, DeSantis said he's focused a lot on things that concern him. Things that concern him. Notice how he's very differential with all this stuff. He needs to drop that.

I know it didn't work for Chris Christie, but, you know, he should have called out his character. So obviously the distractions of everything that's going on along with these legal issues has been a huge thing for Trump, said DeSantis. They're going to have criminal trials. You're going to have a lot of focus on things like January the 6th by the media. And I think that ends up focusing the election on things that are going to be advantageous for Democrats. And so the question is, do you want a president with convictions or do you want a president with convictions?

Because there's two different meanings for that word. When Karen and I were in the process of adopting our daughter we filed some paperwork and we sat down uh you know said well i need to have some explanations as to you know why you did this and why you did that so well we got out of the video video business because of our convictions and uh the adoption lawyer came back to us and said oh we, we've got to talk about this. I need to know what those convictions were and what the penalties were. Yeah, it's not those kind of convictions. That's the kind of convictions that Trump has.

And he doesn't have those other kind of convictions. The notion that somehow all this stuff that's swirling around him is going to be positive in a general election,'s just not true said desantis but it is positive for him in the nomination and that's the game that the democrats are playing if they come after him with a lot of unjustified trumped up charges then that's going to galvanize his base. Just as James Carville said, how did I get so lucky? So Trump's Trump's saying the same thing. And so that's going to get him the nomination and the Democrats are betting that it's going to tarnish his image with independence and he'll lose the general

election. Uh, DeSantis tried to make the case about actually doing what you say. He said, I've delivered on 100% of my promises. Donald Trump obviously didn't build the wall, didn't drain the swamp. By the way, the swamp is completely under the president. You know, when you become president, you're given a deed to the swamp. You can drain it. You can fill it.

You can put more creatures in it you can do anything you want you own the swamp if you're president but trump doesn't own his record does he so he says he didn't build a wall he didn't drain the swamp he didn't reduce the debt they exploded the debt as david stockman i have to get him back on and talk about trump's war on capitalism that book hasn't hasn dropped yet, I don't think. I've also taken on and beaten the Democrats and the left, said DeSantis. Donald Trump as president oftentimes got beat by the Democrats. And that's one of the things.

Even Trump's sycophants like Alex. Well, Trump didn't do wrong. He got bamboozled by those people. They lied to him. They told him he couldn't do this. They told him he couldn'tboozled by those people. They, they lied to him. They told him he couldn't do this. I told him he couldn't fire Fauci. They told him he couldn't fire the swamp and they told him, and he believed them.

And he was just bamboozled by that. No, I don't think that's the case. As I've said before, I don't think that Trump is that stupid. I don't think Trump's as stupid as the MAGA bird press wants you to think. I think he's a fifth column. I think he's a secret agent for Davos.

Uh, so yeah. Um, they say he was deceived. No, he wasn't. DeSantis, who has put enormous resources into winning in Iowa, uh, said ABC, this is just before the election. They said he slipped to third place. Well, that was the narrative of all the media and the polls. Wasn't it?

Maybe he came in second, just, uh, you know, they're very close. 21%, 19%, but he came in second place, not third place. But again, you get this narrative that's being pushed out there. We had polls that were being done a year in advance. Oh, see, Trump is already the winner. DeSantis says he is in the race for the long haul that's why i say when we look at this um you know what is coming up i'd rather have people lower who have lower expectations for us he said i tend to perform better like that and of course uh he was attacked the most of anybody he was attacked for by trump who was afraid of him only the very end that Trump started coming after Haley,

and at the very end, he came after Ramaswamy. But he was always attacking DeSantis because he saw DeSantis as being the threat to him because DeSantis did so well in 2022, the only Republican to do well. Trump being the albatross around the Republican Party, and then Trump said it was babies. You know, we're trying to save well. Trump being the albatross around the Republican Party, and then Trump said it was babies. You know, we're trying to save babies. That's the problem with the Republican Party, said Trump. DeSantis said GOP voters understandably see Biden as very feeble,

but he argued that past elections like 2022 show that Trump's influence is rejected by many voters despite Biden's poor popularity. You know, they all, you know, we didn't have that red wave in 2022, did we? And that's what was the wind in his sails. He was the only one who went against that faded red wave. DeSantis said he thinks current polling, showing Trump beating out Biden in a hypothetical race nearly a year away from the election, is, quote,

somewhat of a mirage he said my fear is doing 2024 as a rematch would have a lot of the same dynamics that we had in 2020 and my fear is that we're going to wind up with january the 6th part due or going to wind up with stop the steel part two. That's what I think they're angling for. They want to build up Trump with MAGA people. And of course, when they look at this and they, they turn out, it doesn't matter if it is a life threatening storm. These people show up for their dictator and, um, and the size of the crowds are going to be there and these people are going to believe just like they did in 2020 that it wasn't possible for their guy to lose because they love him so much well you can love the guy really a great deal but if the democrats

independents uh don't really love their guy but uh they don't they won't even flip a lever for your guy. That's how you lose. And that's why it's so hard for them to get their head around it. For me, leadership is not about yourself, said DeSantis. It's not about showmanship. It's about producing results. So when you make promises, do you deliver? And if you break promises, well, then that's not good leadership.

A lot of broken promises, isn't it? And, of course, you know, when you look at that first three years of Trump's, you know, the tax cuts for Wall Street, not building the wall, not doing anything about the welfare magnet, any of that kind of stuff, and not ending any of the wars. I was like, well, okay. It's a pretty standard Republican stuff, isn't it? You say one thing, and then you do something completely different when you get in. But the fourth year, 2020, that's why I will never support Trump. I don't care what happens to me personally. I will never get behind this guy.

All these other people getting behind him. It is amazing to see people that he's thrown under the bus, like Ramaswamy, people that he has kept out of office, that he's opposed publicly. Oh, they all come behind Trump. And it is disgusting to see them grovel and kiss the boot. Trump says to, in his final appeal, he told his backers, he he said your votes can help me punish my enemies essentially again deeply wounded narcissist incapable of acting except out of his own self-interest or revenge he said these caucuses are your personal chance to score the ultimate

victory over all of the liars cheaters thugs thugs, perverts, frauds, crooks, freaks, and creeps. You know, I said the other day, yesterday I said, I said it's interesting to see how Democrats project their evil onto other people. And I said at the same time, I see otherwise good people in their normal life, people who are law-abiding and at least want to have moral principles in their life. It's interesting to see them project that goodness onto bad people. Bad people like Trump. Bad people like Benjamin Netanyahu, for example.

These are evil men. And yet we have people, particularly the evangelical Christians, who will project their values onto those people. At the same time, you have the Democrats and the other people projecting their perverted values onto you and others. You are the racist. When all they think about is race, they're obsessed with race.

Or they're obsessed with this or that. And they project that onto you. These are people who have all kinds of privilege. And they call you privilege. They have nothing but racism in their mind. And they call you a racist. This kind of projection. And Trump projects like a Democrat.

Liar? Yes yes he is cheater look at his wife look at his personal life he doesn't just cheat on his wives he brags about cheating on his wife you know after he threw his first wife to the curb the second marla maples look at her look at how fantastic her body is and all the rest of the stuff. Publicly. Publicly. Thugs. Mafia guy. A pervert.

Hangs out with Jeffrey Epstein. A fraud. Look at his businesses. This guy has done fraudulent business deals everywhere. That's a big part of his art of the deal. Inflating himself and then using as he starts to go into bankruptcy. Saying, well, you got so much money involved in my business that you're going to have to bail me out or you're going to go under as well. That's fraud.

It's always been a fraud, a failure, a crook, a freak, and a creep. You know, telling that, um, you know, like I said, one of my first reports about Donald Trump when he was, um, not even the front runner, I said, you need to forget this guy. And I did thumbnail. I use, and I use it frequently in the, in the report was about up, right? Uh, he did the same thing that, uh, up began, you know, and up and up uh the guy doesn't want to sell the house that he and his wife grew up in and there was a similar situation donald trump's life right he

had the casinos in atlantic city and he wanted to expand the parking lot and he got the other stuff the other people sold him this one guy or one widow widow did not want to sell the house at sentimental value to her didn't want to sell it so he got tired of making her offers and so he went to uh the city and got them to condemn it and um he took it over and uh just before um well before he uh got it all completed, he went out of business. He went bankrupt. A guy who has had six casinos go bankrupt. He's a fraud. He's a crook. He's a liar. He's a failure. Just amazing. And he projects that on everybody else. Not to say that the other people that he's running

against in the Republican Party, certainly in the Democrat Party, aren't all of those things as well. Uh, and then a 44 year old public utility worker drove 40 miles to see Trump. He says, I'm here out of spite. He says, after what they did to him in the last election and the political persecution that he faces, I feel like I owe him this. He is our only option. option see this is what the people that's what they've been selling you with alex's stop the steal and all the rest of stuff that has been the thing already um uh my son says i think the storm really helped trump the people

who like trump love him enough to go through a blizzard to vote for him yes they do yes they do and uh as he said um um the people my people are so smart and you know what else they say about my people the polls they say i have the most loyal people did you ever see that where i could stand in the middle of fifth avenue and shoot somebody and i wouldn't lose any voters, okay? It's like incredible. Or he could have Fauci in the White House, and he could produce a poison that kills, I don't know, 17 million or more. With those shots, you know, shooting one person on Fifth Avenue, that's no big deal.

But killing, you know, tens of millions of people globally, that's a pretty big deal, it's people still love him. And you don't even see a big pushback from the, um, uh, opponents of the vaccine, even abroad against Trump. Now everybody gives them a pass. Self-patriot. My pastor wants me to run for mayor against a gay candidate. We should run for mayor. Uh, listen to your pastor, get involved.

If there's, if, if um you can get some support there that's fine about the podcast getting deplatformed he says uh well he says we'll be listening to david broadcast via ham radio soon the way things are going yeah i gotta figure out what i'm going to do um kwd 68 stealth, um, we will need a smoke signal network. You know, they'll probably block that as well. Jam it, I guess. Yeah. My people, my people love me so much.

Uh, they'll vote for me when I kill millions of people and they'll walk through the snow, the blizzard. And so I'll just finish with this. Um, you know, Anthony Scaramucci, it was there as white house communications director and interesting how the people that Trump has appointed and praised, and I played that, I'm not going to play it again for you, but like three minutes of him, you know, as he put somebody in office, oh, this is the greatest, look at his resume, it's just great. And then he fires him.

Oh, this guy, he was nothing. He doesn't know anything. He's an idiot and all the rest of the stuff. It's like, do you vet any of these people or whatever? He just, but you can, he comes as his character. I mean, what he said about these people was largely true at the beginning. But then the criticism that he has is largely just anything he can think of off the top of his head. Scaramucci was one of the people who also face that.

And it's kind of interesting to see. I've never, ever seen a president in my lifetime who is so completely hated by his cabinet, by the people that he handpicked. And he has turned a lot of people into Democrats. He's turned Sc skirmishian democrat he turned joseph farrah's daughter who worked there at the white house and the communications i think turned her into a hardcore democrat and coulter you know drudge they all flipped to the other side why because coulter was for him because he's going to do something about the border uh but uh for the most part it is really notable the fact that um not only is he not getting

endorsements from the people who were in his cabinet, not even the people that he didn't fire, but he's getting active opposition from the people who worked for him. You know, back in 2016, the never Trumpers are the people who hated what he promised to do. Glenn Beck, Ben Shapiro, Mark Levin, they were never Trumpers. That was when Trump was promising to do the right things. But in 2024, the never Trumpers hate Trump's record, right? These people at the beginning hated Trump because of his promises i hate trump because of his record and it's a big difference you know there was a i saw this on one of the um let's see if i can find it here i don't see that there i guess we don't have it uh there was a picture of a guy who had uh trolled trump at a um

at a rally and he called him a climate climate criminal well just cross out the climate thing put in whatever the mcguffin is right he can be a covid criminal. He can be a climate criminal. He can support that stuff. Who knows? I mean, he did put Rex Tillerson. There it is right there. Trump, climate criminal. Yeah. Just cross out the climate stuff and fill in the blank as to whatever the crime of the day being dictated by Davos is.

That's really where we are. Well, we're going to take a quick break, and we will be right back. If you like the Eagles, the Cars, and Huey Lewis and the News, they say the horror rock and roll is competing. You'll love the Classic Hits channel at APS Radio. Download our app or listen now at apsradio.com. Thank you. You're listening to The David Knight Show. Here's a little song I wrote

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

Oh, nothing. Be happy. credit score oh nothing be happy that's bill gates singing harmony there and be happy yeah be happy and eat some bugs yes and thank you to your name for sending that to me that's uh funny artificial intelligence does have its uses um you can do some things like that you can have johnny cash singing taylor swift whatever uh but the world's top five richest people increase their wealth by 114 since 2020 i guess they don't think that they'd be happier if they owned nothing. They love that stuff.

They love money, don't they? And that is, of course, the root of all evil. On a drudge this morning, I saw the first trillionaire will be made in less than 10 years, within the next 10 years, of course, because, you know, we're going to be at 2030 by then, and they will have outlawed things they will have created their natural asset companies you know all you have to do is be a stakeholder and that you know you get the government to say okay we're going to turn over this national park to you and everybody's going to pay carbon taxes globally and we're going to then channel that money to you

because you are presiding over this national park, and you're not doing anything with it. You're telling people they can't come into it, or if they do, you charge them more money, and then you will respond in a responsible way by giving half of that money back to some kind of a government fund but you can keep half of that and so these people are getting half of the world given to them for starters and then it will get even bigger and so why wouldn't we have multiple trillionaires think

about that think about the concentration of wealth that we have now. We've never seen anything quite like this before. And, of course, if we look at Elon Musk, another one of these billionaires who is supposedly sacrificing himself for us, as the MAGA people are saying, what do you think happened? I mean, do you think that Elon Musk, who made his money pushing the green agenda and sucking up to every criminal government on earth, including the Chinese communists? Do you think that out of the goodness of his heart, he decided that he would do free speech with Twitter?

All these people know how evil it is. It's not any kind of an epiphany to see what is happening. They just typically decide that they're not going to speak out about it. They're going to make money from it. So what is his angle? What is he doing? I would imagine that as he looked at these people we've been looking at for the first half of this show, getting behind Donald Trump, and they believe that this New York Democrat billionaire

is really a blue-collar billionaire. He's really one of them, and he's their only hope. I think Elon Musk is smart enough to look at MAGA people and say, I can own these rubes. Donald Trump is getting pretty old, and I think he's positioning himself with his Twitter stuff to be his heir, and that doesn't mean that he necessarily wants to be president, but you can always get those laws changed or whatever.

But he certainly does want that kind of devotion from the masses that he can control. He sees a big demographic there. And look, if the media is doing that, if the media is going out there and looking at a demographic and say, that's the one I want to serve, and I'm going to tailor the news to fit the biases and the prejudices and the ignorance of that demographic, they can do the same thing with social media. It's exactly what he's doing, I believe. Meanwhile, the COVID-19 pandemic started.

Some 4.8 billion people have seen their combined wealth shrink, while the world's richest, five richest people, have seen their wealth go up by 114%, more than double. The bottom 5 billion people saw their wealth shrink. That's where we are. The wealthiest 1% grabbed nearly two-thirds of all new wealth, which was worth $42 trillion. All the new wealth created since 2020, $42 trillion, two-thirds of it went to the top 1%. The top five people see their wealth go up 114% double,

while the bottom 5 billion see it go further and further down. And, of course, this is really going to be on steroids. Once the New York Stock Exchange, the Rockefeller Foundation, these other groups, I mean, I know it the you almost almost check myself when i say the rockefeller foundation because they've been talked about so much and the mainstream media has pushed back against it so much it's like oh you're just one of these conspiracy theorists and you got the usual suspects out there well they are the usual suspects because they keep doing this stuff and it's a matter of record there There are three companies that put it together,

and the Rockefeller Foundation was one of them, working with the New York Stock Exchange. And now they've all come to the Security and Exchange Commission, the SEC, and they're going to approve these natural asset companies. And this is going to be, again, on the the 18th as i said they take a look at what you can do and and so you see um this is a breitbart story questions arise on how a chinese billionaire secretly became the second largest foreign owner of u.s land again this is going to be nothing compared to the nac as they look they look at this, they say, well, he secretly became the largest owner of foreign land.

In the same way that Disney went in in central Florida and he created a corporation, several of them, several shell corporations going in and buying up property. He didn't want them to realize what was happening because he was going to make it difficult for him to get the big block of stuff that he wanted in the middle of the state and so he used all these different shell corporations also this chinese billionaire is doing but he won't even have to do that it'll be so easy with natural asset companies once these things are set up uh once the sec and the new york Stock Exchange and the governments work to set up these natural asset companies, whether it's private land or whether it's public land, the only difference is the amount of kickback that they give to government officials. And once they've set these things up and they trade them on the stock market, anybody can do what he's done.

It'll be available to any foreign entity. Any foreign entity can buy stock. The sold on the New York stock exchange. And so, uh, who is this guy for nearly a decade? He's been accumulating land in America. Uh, his name is chin. Um, as a, uh, well, I won't say say anyway that's a that's gerald's joke uh yeah she's so fat she's got more chins than china but uh chin joined the chinese communist party at 18 years

old and was elected to the youth league's central committee in shanghai in 2008 the businessman was appointed to the national Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference. And you see, America is becoming just like China. China, you don't succeed, and you don't do business in China

unless you are a Communist Party member. And then if you are, you get access to all this stuff. You take a look at Steve Bannon's Communist Chinese benefactor. He goes by the name of Guo, the guy that, you know, he was on his yacht when he got arrested. Steve Bannon. Yeah, that was a guy. He got rich as a Chinese Communist Party official.

And then because, you know because there is no honor among thieves and there's no honor among politicians, there's always competition between them. He was on the outs with some people who ascended to leadership, and we know what happens. It doesn't mean that he's a good guy. He's now portraying himself as a defender of freedom and liberty everywhere and standing up for the little guy in China.

That's the way Bannon is portraying him. No, it's just the same type of thing that we saw, you know, Lenin coming after Trotsky because he was competition or the way Stalin purged all the people inside, you know, that he perceived were either enemies or might conceivably be an enemy. He didn't have to even be an enemy. He could be identified by Stalin and come after him. And that's why when you look at all this stuff,

yeah, the Democrats are coming after Trump. Is it because he's a good guy? No. It's because this is what corrupt politicians do. And now Trump is promising to do the same thing in return. And so this guy came up all the way through the Communist Party because that's how you get wealthy. And it's how you get wealthy in the United states just take a look at obama a community organizer he never had a job never did anything it's community or community organizer then he becomes a

politician and now he's a sent a millionaire or whatever almost a billionaire pelosi same type of thing insider trading and all the rest of the stuff influence the clintons the clinton foundation and so forth and it's not limited just to democrats they do it more openly and more shamelessly than the republicans do but then you have as this information comes out about chin and the amount of land that he owns elise ste Elise Stefanik, big cheerleader for Trump, uh, reacted to the news and of course blamed the Biden administration because they're going to focus on their political opponent. They're not going to see the bigger picture. They're not going to see what's going on with the New York stock exchange and these natural asset companies laying the foundation for all of this stuff. Very, very concerning what is on its way.

But of course, they will not focus on the things that are existential threats to this country and to you and I. So when you look at the technocracy and you look at all of this technology that they're doing, are we going to lose with this is there any way that we can defeat this stuff well yes um god is greater than all that stuff and uh collectively um if this country turned toward god we could have good leaders who would oppose this type of stuff that's we've seen that happen in the past. We've seen that happen throughout history of civilizations. But even if it doesn't happen

to this civilization, you know, you need to be connected to God. That's really what you should be focusing on right now. I give you the bad news. Every once in a while, I like to try to give you the good news. If God is for us, who can can be against us and if we take the long-term view and if we look at the fact that this life whether you're elon musk or jeff bezos or whatever that money isn't going to save them they think it's going to save them they think that they can buy and create technology that's going to let them you know inhabit the bodies of robots and live forever and become godlike and all the rest of stuff it's a delusion and we should pity them you know they are like the gilded bull that somebody makes a ceremonial procession out of and puts the flowers on and everybody stands on the

street uh sides of the street cheering on this bull as he's being led to the slaughter and um and so we should be you know in a sense you look at people like bill gates and elon musk and jeff bezos and and it is really tragic if you have the proper perspective they are going to die and they are lost without god and so we should envy them, and we should not try to emulate them, and we should strive for the things that we can actually achieve. You know, you may not be able, you can't do anything to fix Washington, and you can't do anything really to stop these wars that are coming, but you can do things that are going to have an eternal difference for you

and for your family, and they can't take that are going to have an eternal difference for you and for your family. And they can't take that away from you. And so why have we ended up placing so much trust in this technology? And do we place our trust in this like the billionaires do? And so this guy says, you know, this had me thinking. You know, human beings are always looking for a higher and an infallible authority they're looking for reassurance they're seeking help in an uncertain future something to provide coherence and structure to life and to legitimize or to validate our actions and so forth well you're not going to find that in science or technology, he says.

And he's right. And you're not going to find it in politics. Hillary Clinton used to talk about the politics of meaning. Politics gave meaning to her life. How pathetic is that? For other people, like her husband, maybe even her, sex and drugs or money or wealth or power, those are all things that they think gives them meaning to their life,

gives them pleasure. But look, folks, not only is that temporary and fleeting, but we can defeat those people if we've got a focal point that is beyond this life. That gives us the leverage to do things in this life because we are not trying to cling to every last dollar or we're not trying to cling to every last second of this short fleeting life.

It gives us the power to do things that are going to be lasting, do things that are for the benefit of our fellow man, things that are going to benefit us eternally as well. And so along with this, I have one guy writing an article, which is kind of a side article from the BBC, but I thought it was kind of funny in the sense of technology failures. And this is an article about the failure of the self-checkout technology.

You see, even with something that basic, they can fail. It hasn't delivered, they said, and here's why it hasn't. Unstaffed tools are supposed to revolutionize shopping, but now both retailers and customers are starting to bag these self-checkout kiosks. It's a common sight at many retail stores. You've got a line of people waiting to use a self-checkout kiosk, doing their best to remain patient as one lone store worker attends to multiple malfunctioning machines.

The frustration mounts while a dozen darkened, roped-off, and cashier-less tills sit in the background. Well, you know, when I was in college, personal computers were just at the very beginning. We'd just gotten rid of slide rules. That was good. And we had the Hewlett-Packard calculators and Texas Instruments programmable calculators. But personal computers, that wasn't something we had access to. I had to work all the time with computer programs, but I had to use the mainframe computer. At the University of South Florida, it was a large college at the time, had over 20,000 students,

and all the students had to use that one computer. And all of the administration had to use that same computer. And there was another smaller college where all the students and the administration for business purposes had to use that same computer. And so everybody is standing in line waiting to use this one computer and we had to interface with it through card punch machines they were constantly malfunctioning and they had an ibm guy uh who was always there always there didn't matter you go there at three o'clock in the morning which i would frequently do because the crowds are not as bad and he was

still fixing these card punch machines and um they had about 16 of them there and um there was always about a quarter of them that were broken and he was always working on them in his white shirt and tie and uh and then there was a card reader after you got this stuff laboriously done and very tricky and very precious and you get this big tray of cards and you try to feed into the card machine and it chokes and it starts spitting stuff out or you drop your tray of cards and all the rest of stuff it was crazy the only people who had a terminal were the people who were computer science majors and they were the envy of us all and so at that point in time i started doing my own personal computer i built it from a kit and um and so when i look at stuff like this you know we have these things that are supposed to

serve us and yet we wind up waiting for them and they don't serve us well that's frequently the case with technology they said why pay six employees when you could pay one to oversee customers at a self-service checkout. And they do all the labor, and they bag everything. Well, this technology is turning out to be more trouble than it's worth in a lot of ways. One person who is an associate professor and chair of sociology in the U.S., he wrote a book called The Overworked Consumer. Self-checkouts, supermarkets, and the do-it-yourself economy. He says it hasn't delivered anything that it promised.

Again, I remember when I was a child, gas stations were called service stations. What a wonderful piece of Americana it was that you could drive up to one of these things. And, um, you would have a guy come up, you know, dressed, uh, in a uniform, you know, like Gomer Pyle or Goober. And, uh, you tell them what grade of gas you wanted and, uh, and they would fill it up. And while it's pumping, they would clean your windshield and they would check your oil and maybe the tire pressure, maybe some other fluids and things like that and things like that and they would do that because they also offered repair service there and you could um so it's kind of a one-stop thing and uh but you didn't go out and pump it yourself and um you know so now we have all everything is self-service i was just telling karen that i saw an article that i think it was, I think it was in Knoxville. He had some government official there.

Just got, had criminal charges brought against her. And it was for doing skip scanning. And, you know, they have these cameras that are watching you, what you're doing. And they saw her coming several different times. And she would pretend to scan it, but it wouldn't click. She would do it in a way that it didn't, you know, beep and she'd stick it in the bag, you know, like she'd scanned it. And, um, and they came after and I thought, you know, if they're watching us all the time, I don't really like that. I don't like to be watched. And I was, you know know you look at this and

it's like so how do i defend myself if they accuse me of doing skip scanning you know put myself in that what if i was falsely accused of skip scanning something and karen said well i went through the other day and she said i i got to the car and i realized because it was out of the bag, it was in the cart that I had a comb that I was going to buy. And she said, uh, uh, I hadn't scanned it. She said,

I went back in and I told him I haven't scanned. She said, oh, it happens all the time. Most people don't come back, but I don't know. I mean, it depends,

I guess on the grocery store that you're dealing with, but I, one of the frustrations of self checkout can be the extra work of having to find a specific PLU code. That's a real big deal if you're trying to buy fruits or vegetables. What's the code for this thing? Anyway, so they're telling us that artificial intelligence is going to take 40% of the jobs. Will it?

Do we really want that? I mean, would you like to go back to a service station or do you want to keep going further into this other direction? There is something to be said if we create an economy. I wonder what would you like to go back to a service station, or do you want to keep going further into this other direction? You know, there is something to be said if we create an economy. I wonder what would happen if you had a service station somewhere. Maybe they'd go out of business. I don't know. People wouldn't know at this point in time.

What do I do with that? But, you know, 40% of jobs are saying now is the headline. It has been that way for a very long time. It was about six years ago ago as a matter of fact i spoke at a conference and i was giving people the numbers for what artificial intelligence is going to be doing and this is a study that came out of south korea and they had it closer to 50 at the time and they said-collar jobs like doctors and lawyers, it would be 70% replacement by artificial intelligence. So, you know, is that really what we want?

Or do we want to be able to deal with people? Is the technology serving us or is it making us slaves to it? That's my point. And so what is happening with davos well they're pushing down that same direction and so some people are taking a look at who is going to be there i like this headline here a list of some of the notable figures attending the world economic forum this year along with plenty of prostitutes. And I thought, isn't that being redundant? People are prostituting themselves to world government one way or the other.

And when I look at some of the people on this list, of course, Zelensky is going to be doing a joint presentation with Klaus. And it's such a cartoon thing, isn't it? You know, Klaus Schwab, but not just Klaus Schwab. Most of the people who are there are like Bond villains. I mean, he is the archetypal Bond villain. He's got everything but the white pussycat. But the other people are like that as well, right?

Not all the Bond villains are like Blofeld, but these other people are that way as well. And so when we look at this, the people who are going there rightfully should be called out. As I said before, they've called out in the past, Brian Kemp and Glenn Youngkin, governors of Georgia and Virginia, respectively, but nobody called out Trump. And here we've got Javier Malai, newly elected libertarian economist out of Argentina. Yeah, he's going to be going. He's perfectly fine going. Is that an indication of where he is?

Quite possibly, because he says he is all about Trump, and he's a real demagogue with his chainsaw and all the rest of this stuff and things that he was saying. I looked at it and it's he was saying, I really started, you know, I looked at it, it's like, okay, this is great. He's coming after the central bank there, and he's coming from an economic school that is the same one that I believe is correct, you know,

from the Austrian economists and others like that. And yet the stunts that he was doing and the way that he was doing this stuff and the language that he was doing is very uncomfortable i really do believe that whether you're talking about argentina or america i think character matters in government and he is a character but i don't know if he's got any character uh so disease x is the thing that they're really hyping and of course it was was it last year or two years ago they were talking about cyber polygon and all the rest of this stuff that doesn't mean that simply because we haven't had some kind of a cyber polygon attack to our knowledge

um but not to the extent they're talking about that doesn't mean that they aren't still working on that planning on that but um uh the um as they're putting these things together and they talk about poly crises many crises happening at the same time of course we also talk about politics many blood sucking parasites but um their theme this year is rebuilding trust and that's been their theme now for a couple of years since they destroyed our trust in 2020. But you should trust Trump, of course, and trust that he's going to do the right thing with the next pandemic. You know, maybe with disease X. What do you think?

You think he's going to do something different than he did last time? He seems to be very proud of the structures that he created and put into place this last time. Nothing has been done to remove those. There's not even any talk about it. Hate speech and disinformation or whatever the EU says it is, including information that's true but disagreeable to the agenda of these supra-national organizations such as the EU, the World Economic Forum, the WHO uh last time around the mrna vaccines made by pfizer moderna and funded by trump nobody wants to puts trump's name next to those vaccines i always will they proved to be super effective at one thing

disordering all the cells and the organs in the human body so as to produce a severe auto immune rejection resulting in death and disability but hey it was just sugar water right like alex said the artificial spike protein replication induced by the vaxxers has a special yen for heart tissue the lining of blood vessels and for the reproductive organs thus all those world-class soccer players dropping dead in the middle of a game all the massive clots the size of shipworms discovered by the morticians and so forth. Yeah, this is what has been produced by Trump. But like Voldemort, you must not mention his name.

And of course, they don't in this Zero Hedge article. They're very good about that. They keep it on the sly. And so they're very good about that they keep it on the sly and so they're talking about disease x 20 times more fatalities than covet 19 so uh we have all these whinings out there about gain of function uh ran paul you know it's fauci and his uh wuhan lab and all the rest of so it's not the vaccine they don't want to talk about the vaccine. Don't want to change anything.

Don't want to even come after him for the vaccine. They want to come after him for the gain of function research and the lab that is there. And then they push the scare of a disease X that is 20 times more fatal. And yet the big tell is the inaction. That they won't do anything. It was a decade ago, 2014, that the Obama administration told Fauci and his boss, Francis Collins, shut it down. That was after a series of articles, primarily begun by Allison Young at USA Today, but it got picked up by everybody. They had congressional hearings. They were talking about all the failures of these biosafety level three and four labs.

I said, shut it down. And instead, they went to China. They kept doing some of it even in the United States at the University of North Carolina. I talked about that at the time. And yet, they will push the fear button everywhere over disease X, but they won't do anything about this, even as they make this the new focus, the new red herring to distract people from the Trump shots.

The 2024 program is one for the ages there at Davos. You can watch Pfizer's Albert Bourla talking about health. You can watch Sam Altman talking about artificial intelligence and digital IDs for everybody. You can see Bill Gates advancing the climate hoax and his food schemes. You can see John Kerry will be appearing on four different stages to discuss energy transition. And what is the energy transition? Well, that is a transition to zero. You'll not only own nothing, but you'll be able to plug nothing in.

Even if you're allowed to buy something, you won't be allowed to plug it in. And then, of course, Babel, the return to Babel. That's what this is really about when you look at the Great Replacement, when you look at the open borders, that aspect of globalism. That is supposedly to unite the world, right? Except what it's going to do is divide and conquer each and every society. That is the ultimate purpose of all this. Comments, Brian and Deb McCartney.

Disease X is the big topic at Davos. More disease surveillance. That's right. Jen Jones. Men have become the tools of their tools. Thoreau. If only he could see what's happened now. That's a great quote.

I've never seen that before. Thank you, Jen. Wes Robertson. AI fear-mongering by Silicon Valley and the Intel community is just that fear mongering. They're hoping no one will call their predictive programming bluff. Yeah. And of course they will use the most dangerous thing about AI is that people

would believe it like a politician, uh, because it will be the source and already is a source for a lot of people they turn to it for answers and then whatever answer it makes up they go with it as if it is true and that is especially true the younger the people are they're conditioning the next generations to rely on artificial intelligence that's what this is really about. That is the predictive programming aspect of all this. Hal 9000 Watson says, Elon loves X. He does.

Distorted perception. Disease X is the coming deaths from immune failure by vaccinations, probably. I agree. It's just like the long COVID stuff uh and all these different variants oh yeah you know that this symptom that you see out there um that's being caused they even came out and said well people die under the heart disease that's because of fentanyl or whatever it's always going to be something they even had that absurd explanation at one point in time it's the people who are out are out there gardening, and it's not the exertion that's causing them to have heart attacks.

It's that they're stirring stuff up in the soil that is going to cause them to have a heart attack. Well, why has that never, ever happened before? Wes Robertson, AI is about efficiency, not intelligence. An attempt by a more efficient way of enslaving us all. Yes, stealth patriot Trump picked the winners and losers with his non-essential and his essential stuff. Well,

uh, I liked the article from the last American vagabond. I interviewed, um, the editor, I guess editors is title. I don't know. Um,

last week, or maybe it's two weeks ago. Um, and, the headline of this is, as the World Economic Forum prepares for a 54th annual meeting, international activist movements are offering alternative visions of 2030. You can't win a culture war without a culture.

And you can't defeat their dystopian vision of the future without your vision of the future that is not dystopian. That's the key thing. And so people from all walks of life are rejecting their top-down technocratic vision for the future. And you should as well. Again, a key feature of that is to isolate us from other people and to cause us to be pacified by the loss of skills and knowledge being overly dependent on the technology and so the theme is rebuilding trust as i said and as the last american vagabond says this is the same theme

they use in 2021 and because since 2020 nobody nobody trusts them anymore, and their cover has been blown. The last two years, World Economic Forum has promoted the idea of polycrisis. Claiming the world is now contending with multiple crises, including alleged pandemics and climate crises and multiple wars and economic downturns. Stop and think about that. All of those are invented and created and fed by the governments right first of all the climate and pandemic mcguffins are made up but the wars are not made up the wars are created by them and sustained by them and continued by them in the

same way that trump continued all you know obama went from a couple of wars that george w bush had going uh forever and ever he kept those wars going and added several more he had seven wars going and when trump became president he kept all seven of those wars and he expanded them and he never got out of afghanistan and biden by the way didn't get out out of Afghanistan either. He was thrown out. You can't fire me. I quit Afghanistan. Well, no, they fired them through the bums out of Afghanistan. That's what they did.

We should not have been there for 2024. The World Economic Forum is warning that even as we turn our attention to new crises, the old ones persist. And that's my plan. We cannot get rid, and nobody's even talking about getting rid, of the Fauciism that Trump instituted. The medical martial law. The stuff that they practiced for 20 years. The stuff that they laid the legal foundation for

right after 9-11. The stuff they did their first game foundation for right after 9-11. The stuff they did their first game for two months before 9-11, then had a false flag event one week after, and then put out the legislation two months after that. Of course, it's still there with us. People are sick of the doom and gloom, says the last American vagabond. People are sick of the doom and gloom of much of the independent media. The viewing audience is quite familiar with how disturbing our world has become.

However, they rarely come across journalists, activists, and content creators who are trying to focus on solutions. But I believe this is changing, he says. We have a growth of the greater reset, of the better way conference, of the next steps and of similar events to reflect the growth of the overall truth and freedom movements that have begun intersecting in recent years. One of the trends he says,

I believe we'll only be seeing an increase in influence is that of the activation movement. That is the section of the overall truth and freedom community that is absolutely, sometimes exclusively, focused on solutions for our troubling times. It's not enough to be awake. We need to be actively creating the world we want if we know we do not want the globalist vision of 2030 and beyond.

I like what Charles Spurgeon, when he was talking about things in his society, and he lived in a very Christian society, a Victorian society. Christians were the majority. They were not being attacked. They're not being challenged like people today. And yet he talked about when, after the Babylonian captivity, when Ezra and others came back, and Nehemiah came back to rebuild Jerusalem,

first they rebuilt the wall. Build the wall, they said. Yeah, well, these guys actually did it. And they had lots of opposition. And so what they had to do is they had to build and be able to defend themselves at the same time. So Spurgeon called his publication The Sword and the Trowel. We have to be able to defend ourselves.

So we have to be aware of what their tactics and strategies are and what they're coming after. But we also have to be able to build. It's not enough to have one or the other. You've got to have both of them, actually. And so we have to look at what kind of a society we want to build what are the foundations and the basis of that and again that is all downstream from our worldview from our religion and that needs to be fixed and so we need to build that but we also need to be able to defend ourselves truth was going to come under a lot of pressure says the world economic forum and they know because they're going to be the ones who are

going to be pressuring truth and they say it's going to have a vast increase in censorship and they know that as well because they're going to be working with governments to increase the censorship that's their kind of predictive programming a duo of dangerous crises are what we're facing they're saying now. Not necessarily so much the polycrisis. They're now focusing on climate and conflict. So that climate MacGuffin has been around for a long time, but of course now they're adding war to it.

Why? Because we're waking up. As Gerald Slinty says, when the people wake up, they take us to war when all else fails. The 2024 digital ID and the online age verification agenda. That is what they're focused on. You know, like Nuki Haley said, I want to know your name. And of course, she also wants war everywhere.

She's a perfect example of how those two things come together she demands an end to anonymity and she also demands war with everybody everywhere over anything so when we look at the World Economic Forum itself whenever they have their meetings if you go the World Economic Forum's website you will see just a rash of articles. And so it's not too hard to get a feel for what they're pushing in any given year. Everything you need to know about energy at Davos 2024. This is one of their publications. They're saying by bringing together key stakeholders from the public and private sectors, we will

drive actions to strengthen the business case for energy transition and transform energy demand to zero. They will build the business case for this by making these people partners in crime while they take everything from us. So they're talking about transforming energy demand. That's one of their topics there. Another one, tripling renewables, making it rapid and responsible. We'll ask, how can we make this transition very rapid? They've got to speed it up. They're getting close to their deadline, and you're going to see things accelerate.

Leaving no one behind in energy transition. Doesn't that sound familiar? Who was it they used to talk about? No child left behind. Remember? George W. Bush. that was a globalist thing i used to it really grated against me i said well um uh what he really means is leaving no child alone um and then um part of this leaving no one behind is really about energy reparations which they've been talking about in south africa columbia germany we look at the issue of energy equity see this is a precursor to just giving

these people vast swaths of money but you know isn't it interesting that they talk about south africa columbia and germany and yet with their green agenda what what are they doing? They're enslaving children to work in cobalt mines in the Democratic Republic of Congo. They have literal child slavery, working under conditions that kill these kids and pay them nothing. And yet they're not talking about reparations for that, are they? They're not talking about slaveryations for that are they they're not talking about slavery for that either are they no this is um just about transferring wealth to them to their cronies another aspect that they're focusing on health policy for women and digitalization and climate change these are this is another series of things they're going to be focusing on. You know,

women hit the hardest. We've got to digitalize everything because we've got climate change coming. The year 2023 says the world economic forum is the hottest on record. That's a lie that we've often seen repeated. I've often debunked that it is an absolute lie. They don't even have much in terms of records, but of course the way they measure the stuff is patently absurd, easily proven to be false.

We saw life-threatening heat waves, wildfires, floods, storms, hurricanes. So the answer to all this is to cut down the trees and bury them, right? Seriously, that's Bill Gates' answer. Life-threatening heat waves? Well, let's get rid of all the air conditioning you can't have that either under the health care issue world economic forum is saying facing a world without antibiotics you know long before everything became about vaccines they were telegraphing this they were talking about well antibiotics we just you know we can't focus on we've got to focus on vaccines because we're getting this resistance to antibiotics and uh they're not working anymore so everybody's got to be vaccinated it's like well that's not

working but they've been working on that for a long time and then digitizing health care fixing what's wrong with it closing the health gap for women a one trillion dollar opportunity to improve lives and economies their life their economy and just with that one thing they're offering these people their partners in crime a trillion dollar kitty you know this pot of gold at the end of this rainbow j Jason Barker, disease X is going to come out because we just handed over our medical sovereignty to the WHO. Yeah. This is the big takeaway from the last germ game they played.

Disease X will usher in the vaccine passport dictated by the WHO. This passport will be married with the digital ID and can be tied into CBDC. That's right. All these different scams are converging. And we can see the trails and we can see how it's all happening. And so then the question is, what do we do about it? And we're going to have to do something locally, individually, collectively, at the community level.

There's certain things that you can do on your own, but there's other things that we can't do unless we as edward uh uh gerald griffin said so we have to work collectively for individual liberty and that's really kind of uh i've i've watched the individual liberty movement for a long time and it tends to atomize people and they tend to reject collective collaboration and that's our real weakness people who are focused on respect for the individual and elevating individual liberty that they frequently have a hard time working together collectively that's a big issue but of course that's that's another place where Christianity is vital in order to change that orientation, that worldview of people. High Boost says, David, I really think they want to release a new virus vaccine program, and they know Trump is the perfect salesman to do so.

Yeah. GOP just reelected the same fool that did it the first time. That's right. Fool me once, shame on you, but, you, but fool me over and over again. Last one here, HazelKitty57. Funny how bleeding-heart liberals overlook child slavery and other human sufferings for their agenda. Yeah, their outrage is incredibly selective, isn't it?

We'll be right back. If you like the Eagles, on a dark desert highway, the Cars, and Huey Lewis and the News, they say the hotter rock and roll is competing. You'll love the Classic Hits channel at APS Radio. Download our app or listen now at APSradio.com.

Let me tell you, the David Knight Show, you can listen to with your ears. You can even watch it by using your eyes.

Yeah. And that was a commercial that was done by my son. He was working the board today. Travis is sick. As a matter of fact, we've had a lot of, uh, sickness going around the family.

Travis is sick. His wife is sick. My wife is sick. Uh, so the only two that aren't sick are whistler. It does the whistling on the um fistful of dollars thing and did that commercial he's working the board and um and i'm here uh so a lot of people are struggling with a flu and that type of thing but appreciate you keeping us

in your prayers and hope that we can stay healthy and keep doing this. Uh, let's take a look at, um, what's going on in money. And of course, um, they want you to own nothing and be happy. I think this is the funniest headlines I saw recently. This is coming from the wall street journal said it won't be a recession. It'll just feel like one. That's right. You know, Trump's not a dictator. He just feels like one and he's not the guy who

actually killed people he just seems like it man this won't be a recession it'll just feel like one but we're going to supply you with all of the economists to convince you that it's not a recession even though it feels like it to you just like they're trying to supply you with economic arguments that they've got inflation licked, even though it doesn't feel like it, even though you can't see it in the prices of the things that you're buying, they're convincing you, trying to convince you anyway, that it's been licked, and there isn't going to be any recession either. And of course, in terms of unemployment numbers,

well, every quarter, things are getting better and better because they always go back and readjust the previous quarter's unemployment numbers. The SEC approving Bitcoin ETFs is a historic move. BlackRock's Larry Fink says it's an asset class that protects you. Does it really? Or does it make money for him? He says it's the next step to tokenization in other words the next step to digitization and again i'd be very concerned about that so what is an etf of course as they explain it according to investopedia and all the people

looking at it well we got a bitcoin etf that? Well, it's a basket of securities that trades on an exchange just like a stock does. And, of course, it is fundamentally a derivative. And I'm not going to raise some red flags for you if you remember what happened in 2008. I think this is another one of these schemes for these people who never seem to run out of schemes. They've always got a new way to repackage the stuff that they sell to you and to hustle you. One of the big things that is a key issue, as we've talked about many times in this program, we talked about it with katherine austin fits most recently how important it is for them to get rid of community banks and credit unions they want

to try to centralize everything and a big obstacle in the way of doing that is to have a choice right and so in a sense you know you look at this and the community banks and the credit unions are like the mom and pop hardware stores and other things like that they want to get rid of they want to have two or three of them and those two or three will work with the government and then when they lock us down and all the rest of stuff they will be essential as donald trump said all the mom and pop stores you know the restaurants and service businesses which is really all that we pretty much have left anymore as entrepreneurs here. Got to shut all those down.

You can't work. You just got to go to the big box retailers from Wall Street. Well, you have some moves being made in government to threaten the community banks and the credit unions. This is being put together as a bipartisan uniparty effort. On the Democrat side, you got Dickiparty effort on the Democrat side. You got Dick Durbin and on the Republican side, you got Roger Marshall.

And this is also, as, um, uh, Breitbart points out, it is also, um, a public private partnership,

the public, uh, partnership, of course, being between the Republicans and the Democrats. And then their partnership on the private side is with the big box retailers coming out of Wall Street to try to make it harder or impossible for small businesses on Main Street to survive. These massive stores, says Breitbart, have recruited Senators Dick Durbin and Roger Marshall

to help them further pad their pockets by pushing for a new law that will hurt local community banks, credit unions, and your data security. Their new bill will detrimentally affect credit card services and rewards as we know them. Under the Durbin-Marshall credit card bill, America's leading credit card networks will be completely altered. The new mandates that Durbin and Marshall, along with the corporate megastore allies, are calling for would cause credit cards to be routed through an entirely new processing

networks. These mandates would allow stores to cut costs and turn to cheaper untested network, increasing the risk of bad actors, obtaining confidential consumer data, all to line the pockets of Walmarts and the targets of this world. So when you look at this, it's interesting how it seems to be always the usual suspects, and they always seem to have the same M.O., don't they? And so what do you do? When you look at CBDC, well uh we're going to have a complete new processing network we have a new financial system it's going to be faster it's

not going to use the kind of energy that bitcoin does where you have to show that you're actually doing work you have to have proof of work for all these other crypto coins, but not for our new coin, not for the Fed coin or the successor to the end goal of FedNow, which they've already put in place. No, we will have instead of proof of work, we'll have proof of authority. Proof of stake is what they call it. But that's what that truly is about. And then you also see some other games that they've been playing with us breitbart doesn't talk about this but when i look about look at this and how they describe this they say um the changes will come at a significant systemic cost a cost that will

be ultimately borne by consumers and by the local financial institutions that serve them. Many credit union and community banks will be forced to retreat from credit card issuance in response to this. It's very similar. They're going to put a great deal of new regulations on for people to participate into this system. And it's essentially what liz warren did in response to the derivatives you know good thing we've got the new bitcoin etfs and we've got other types of fantasy financial investments that are out there and so they come up with these things they create problems and then when everything blows up and crashes or whatever

you have liz warren comes in and says oh we need to put some new rules on the banks does she go back and reenact the glass stegall act that prohibited uh prohibited them from getting involved in speculative investments after the great depression said you're not going to give you insurance fdDIC insurance, but you can't get in these speculative investments as a trade-off of this. And then Bill Clinton removed that. Did Liz Warren say, well, let's go back. That worked for a long time.

No. Instead, she comes up with the Consumer Financial Protection Board. She and Barney Frank. And what did that do? Well, that said, we're going to have a lot more paperwork for these banks to fill out. And they just smothered them with reports. Now, the big banks could swallow that cost and pass it on to you.

They could ramp up and create massive little sub-bureaucracies to process all this stuff and pass the cost on. But what happened was it drove the small and medium-sized banks out of being able to do a lot of these loans. And so they started going out of business. This is another one of these things. Instead of putting on all kinds of rules and regulations for doing a home mortgage or something like that, they put in regulations about credit cards.

Of course, the solution to all this is not to bail out anybody, but to let the people who, first of all, if you're going to bail them out with an insurance thing, you take away the risky practices. That's what Glass-Steagall did. But then if people manage their business badly, you let them go out of business, and other people will grab their assets and redistribute them and hopefully organize them in a more effective way. That's how the market is supposed to work.

The competitive market is supposed to work. But instead what they do is in the name of protecting the consumers they go in and they drive these small organizations out so they can consolidate it into a few big banks everything that they did was about consolidation as i've said many times before bill clinton uh erskine bowls uh was a guy that was high up in the Clinton administration. I forget his exact title. But he was somebody that was involved in the banking industry in North Carolina. He shepherded through the merger between Nations Bank, which is a really big bank in North Carolina, and Bank of America, which is a big bank in California,

to become the biggest national bank. And they changed the name to Bank of America but then they moved the bank to be headquartered in North Carolina and he got that through and everybody said well it's going to set off a wave of consolidation and it did we're going to wind up with just a few big banks and we did and then they failed because Bill Clinton let them get involved in risky investments and then they bailed out, and then they came in with new regulations, supposedly to fix this crisis that they had created, and it drives their competitors out of business.

This bill will place sensitive consumer data in the hands of unknown and untrustworthy processing networks, says Breitbart. In 2010, megastores and their allies told the same lies about this which led to congress passing the Durbin amendment the Durbin amendment instituted price controls on debit card fees that led to a ripple effect on the entire economy well again when we look at price controls I think there ought to be usury laws. I don't know if that's what they mean with this. But if you bring in all kinds of additional requirements and fees like that, it's going to be passed on to the consumer.

And that's what they're talking about here. It'll be passed on to the consumer by the big banks who are able to comply with this and, and, you know, uh, move with it. The other people will be driven out of that business and maybe out of business altogether. Uh, but again, um,

I don't know if, uh, this price controls what they're talking about. I don't think it's the interest rate things because we still see 30 to 50% interest rates in the worst case scenarios from these credit card things so that certainly is not something as being that was prohibited by the durbin amendment and then uh yeah zero hedge saying that um latest uh data coming out of berlin there is a miraculous that's why they referred to it as they brought this out, a miraculous upward revision rescues Germany from recession in the latest data.

You see, it's always going to be about the data. And that's what they're talking about. Just the very beginning of this. Wall Street Journal says, well, you're going to think that it's a recession, but it's not going to be a recession. Why? Well, because they will revise it,

the recession with their phony numbers. And they'll tell you, just like they told you with the pandemic. And just like they tell you with these other things that what you see is not true. Forget what your lying eyes are telling you. Listen to them. They'll tell you what is true and what is not true. And so they're

going to continually change the data they're going to continually come up with these new structures and in the same way that black rock is telling you well um you know this this derivative of bitcoin is going to be the thing that is going to um um is is uh that you that you can trust that's going to make you rich i'd be very skeptical of that just like you see the projections uh based on the fact that there's an etf out there you got all these projections saying bitcoin is projected to smash a hundred thousand dollars this year why well because the etfs are going to allow more retail investors to hold bitcoin indirectly via these derivatives well it lets you think that you're holding that but just as we've talked about in the past paper and silver gold you know paper gold

silver gold paper paper gold and paper silver. Those are ETFs. And supposedly these organizations have bought the gold and the silver, but you don't know. You're not auditing them. It's like you're not auditing the Federal Reserve. Is that real or not? You think that more people are buying into silver and gold, and yet the prices don't seem to be tracking with each other.

So it raises a lot of questions as to whether or not they're really, if more and more people buy gold and silver, these exchanges in the Shanghai gold exchange, they just sell more and more shares of these things, but they don't seem to be buying more and more gold and silver. And so the interesting thing is, and of course, a lot of this may be the buy on rumor and sell on the news of it happening. But Bitcoin stumbled after the ETF hype faded and other alternative coins have followed suit.

So rather than just a straight upward trajectory, you get a very noisy bouncing around. Gold prices, on the other hand rallied why well because of wars after the strikes against the hooties that caused gold prices to go up look as i said before from a personal standpoint um i want something that is going to be non-digital i want as katherine austin fitz calzino analog money uh physical money that i can hold that i don't have to trust with somebody else that's one of the reasons why i'm really happy that um to have the support of tony tony arteman at wise wolf gold and he set up david knight dot gold that is a way for you to start making personal investments that are going to protect you in this unstable world that we're in.

And I'm not saying, as Tony has said, I'm not saying that you can't make money with Bitcoin. A lot of people made money with it. But it looks more and more like a stock doesn't it and i i've come to realize in my life i've come to regard the stock market as a casino and what this is doing with this bitcoin etf is it's making a bitcoin like a casino stock that's what this is truly about so again uh david knight dot gold will take you to tony artaban, and you can help yourself and help this broadcast at the same time. YJ72, thank you very much for the tip.

He says, please look into cell salt, C-E-L-L. Praying for your family to feel better. Well, I'll look into that. Thank you. I've had a lot of people tell me about potassium, and I've been taking a supplement of potassium. It was kind of interesting. And we went to the pharmacy and I couldn't find it. I asked the pharmacist to come out and he goes,

well, I'll help you look. He turns out he didn't have it, but he said, but I'll tell you this. He says, I'm just a disclaimer. So most of the potassium that's out here is less than you'd get in a

banana. And he was absolutely right. I started looking at potassium online. Most of it was about 70-some-odd milligrams. And, you know, bananas, I forget now, it's like 400, 450 milligrams of sodium. So it's way less than a banana. But you can find some.

The most I could find was 1,000 milligrams. And so I thought, well, you know, what is it that they're recommending people? Well, the FDA is really famous for their recommendations of things. They recommend 60 milligrams of vitamin C. Why? Because they've determined that that is the absolute minimum to keep you from getting scurvy. And so their required daily allowances are really typically minimums.

And so I looked at it and thought, so what is their RDA on potassium? And of course you can get potassium in a lot of different foods, but the ones that are really high in them are the highest ones are foods that are not really even available in the U.S. They're coming from Africa, fruits or vegetables coming out of Africa or Asia or things like that. Um, that I'd never even heard of, but, uh, you know, if you have a, the most you can get was a thousand, their RDA is 5,000 milligrams. That's strange because you don't even have any pills that even come close to that RDA. So I guess most people have a potassium deficiency.

So I've been trying to do something about that. The jury is still out in terms of my blood pressure. It hasn't seemed to have a measurable effect yet on that. Jason Barker, paper gold and paper silver ETFs are more of a futures market, in my opinion. Buy now at the current prices, and we promise to mine it later and give it to you. Right now, they can't mine silver at the cost, so I don't think the paper silver exists in physical form. Yeah.

All this stuff, everything, all these different financial instruments, and I mean, just take a look at the abstraction of a natural asset company. Another example. We're going to create this new thing. And it's just 100% scam. That's how they rip people off. It's like the securitized mortgages, you know, early 2000s. Foggy Trail.

The father of the vaccine will push the CBDCs. Well, as a matter of fact, that's already been, you know, the CBDC push did not begin with Biden. It began with Trump, and it began with Jared Kushner and Steve Mnuchin. They were pushing it internally, heavily. Biden took it to the next stage, and he put in, you know, he put in March of, so I'm trying to think, it was March of 2022. Yeah.

March of 2022. You know, he ordered all the swamp because all the swamp is under, all the bureaucracies are under the presidency. So he ordered everybody in the swamp to come back and report to him in one of four areas, how to completely restructure the financial system, how to actually implement this thing in terms of code and things like that, how to, the law enforcement people, how to enforce CBDC. It's not going to be voluntary.

That's why they got the army of IRS agents and things like that out there. And then the fourth one was to create propaganda about how CBDCs were necessary to fight climate change. Those are the four areas. He said, give me a report, everybody in the swamp. Give me your report in six months. And they all did. And they immediately proceeded to the next step, which was FedNow, which they had already been working on. It was all just a ruse but it all began in the trump administration with jared kushner and steve mnuchin the goldman sachs banker that he put in

in treasury trump put in a treasury harps good to see their harps hope things are good down under if they were truly about health they would make insulin and the likes cheaper or free yeah yeah we have some of the most expensive drugs uh in the world here in the u.s um b slice own nothing be happy where can we find that video i don't i'll tell you tomorrow because there's some other ones and i'll make sure that i mention the youtube channel for that uh because they've done several of these things and i sent me the links to them and i forgot to write down the name of the channel but i'll have it for you tomorrow.

Magnesium, David, critical element, reduces muscle stress, aging, used in many processes. I've got it. I haven't started taking it yet because I forget to take it at night. I know that also seems to help people sleep better, and I don't need anything to make me sleepy before I do a three-hour live show, so that's my problem is getting on a schedule with that. Jen Jones, the globalists want us to use less energy so it can be diverted to their AI and ML and LLM.

Yeah, the large language models and all the rest of the stuff. Yeah, they don't have any problem. As they talk about Bitcoin or any of these currencies that are being mined, they're very, very selective in terms of what they want for energy use. The hypocrisy is stunning, just as they don't want you to have more than one commercial flight every three years and then no more than 900 miles. But they fly everywhere on their private jets. In the same way, they uh looking at everything that we do

storing everything that we do uh and and mining it all the time uh you know their their um data mining operations and their correlations of the information that they have kept on us with the surveillance state that dwarfs anything that cryptocurrency would do and we all know that and then of course uh the amount of power used by these uh large language models chat gp and chat gpt and the like uh you look at the number of nvidia graphic or gpus that they've got out there it's just astounding not the cost, each of those things costing $10,000, but they've got this massive array of these things, and I don't even know what the energy usage is for those things,

but they don't talk about that. But they talk all the time about how much energy cryptocurrency uses. Jen Jones' recent study estimated that ChatGPT-3 needed 1,287 megawatt hours there we go so he's got the data to train and also emitted 552 tons of co2 roughly the equivalent of driving a car 1.3 million miles but doing that every hour wow wow that's amazing uh yeah it is truly phenomenal and then that's amazing. Yeah, it is truly phenomenal. And then that's just the AI side of it. That's not the surveillance state in there. Massive storage facilities where they've stored everything on the Internet for decades and that type of thing.

So they've got their agenda. Their agenda is about surveillance and control and making sure that we own nothing. We'll be right back. Sometimes your day needs a little smoothing. Check out the Jazz Channel at APSradio.com and the APS Radio app and leave the stress behind. © BF-WATCH TV 2021 Liberty. liberty it's your move and now the david knight show george boy 11 42 how can you operate a police state without energy? Well, by keeping everybody else from having energy and you have all of it, yeah, they're, they're shutting down the energy production, but, um, they're

going to shut down the use completely. For the rest of us, or if you've got an electric car, what they will do is use that as a battery to feed the grid. And they will be the ones who will be able to use, uh, use the energy and you won't be able to use it. I think they've thought that part of it through, unfortunately. Let's take a look at war today. We see that President Xi Jinping is in a battle with China's own military,

we're told, by the establishment, and the outcome could drag the U.s into world war three this is coming from business insiders that's establishment uh you know nato type of paper nevertheless um you know the narrative that they're pushing out and who knows if it is true is that xi ji xi jinping is uh like you know the chinese equivalent of nicky haley you know pushing for war and supposedly uh his military is resisting that um you know and that's not hard to believe uh the people have to fight the wars sometimes are not that crazy occasionally you get people like um you know lloy, Lloyd Austin and other people like that who, uh, will do it or Millie that you heard Trump brag about so much, uh, mad dog, Mattis,

you know, then he fires them, uh, tries to fire them on the way. I never fired Millie. He just didn't like Millie. Uh, but I don't know if, if Xi Jinping has a problem with all of these people, maybe if things don't work out on his side, he could always quit and he could start a social media company, right? Maybe he could call it, well, he can't call it X. That's been taken. He could call it XI.

That'd be start a social media company. Because, you know, intellectual property theft, that's a thing with the Chinese. That's been kind of their big part of their China price. All right, and we're back. We had a glitch in our power and internet. It took a while for the internet to come back up. But if there's anybody still left on the streams, I don't know if they're there or not.

But we were just talking about the approaches to war and the fact that we're being told that Xi Jinping is getting ever more adamant to move against Taiwan. And as we look at what has just happened in Taiwan, we had an election there, and you had a person who is hardline in terms of independence there in Taiwan. And so he's a nationalist, but he's not a Christian nationalist, so I guess it's okay. No, seriously, I'm in favor of self-governance for people. I just don't want the U.S. involved in these wars, right? So if Ukraine wants to

break off from Russia, we all know that that was a coup and a thing that was orchestrated by the Obama administration, but let's just ignore that part of it for right now. And the bigger picture, if Ukraine wanted to be legitimately, wanted to be independent, if it wasn't a geopolitical game by the U.S. Empire, that's fine. They should be allowed to do that. But it's very telling when they said that Crimea could not leave them and remain with Russia. So if they want to break away from Russia, fine.

But if Crimea wants to remain, that's not fine. And so I always believe that since I believe in the principles of the American revolution of self-governance, I always support people for that type of thing. And I support that for Taiwan as well, but not for us to be involved in that conflict. And so that's the situation in Asia. Then, of course, we look at the other places where World War III is being aggressively pushed in Germany. The military is preparing for a potential attack by Russia in February. And that is the secret document that has now been leaked, perhaps for a reason.

It's called the Alliance Defense 2025. This is a German Ministry of Defense document that lays out how we get involved into World War III. But, of course, there's multiple triggers taking us uh into world war three yeah jason barker we're not being dragged into world war three we are orchestrating it you're absolutely right that's right we have set up these tripwires everywhere it's like oh you know what what are we going to do about it you know these dastardly russians are going to be invading well uh that's the way it may be portrayed uh but again, you look at it for truly world war. They've got these things set up in Asia as well as in the Middle East and also even in Europe at the same time.

And so again, I'll just repeat what I said bravely yesterday. And that is when we look at what is going on, for example, with all these wars. It should not be our fight. But, of course, it is part of the American empire. When I said yesterday, when I was talking about the questions that people are asking the GOP candidates at Pizza Ranch, the reporter who was following them around said that almost all the questions were about foreign policy.

I don't know if that was because people were worried that we were going to be drug into war by our American government. They're the ones who are dragging us in. Or, you know, are you going to avoid that? Or were they pushing them to do it? I kind of think the people in Iowa didn't want us being involved in these foreign entanglements. Didn't like the idea of politicians who like to drag us into war.

Politicians like Nikki Haley, although she did get 19% of the vote. Well, we're out of time. Tomorrow we're going to aspire to try to finish the show in the usual way. Thank you for sticking with us. We've got much more to say about all these things that we did not cover today. Thank you for joining us.

That is what they want to take away. Their most powerful weapons are isolation, deception, intimidation. They desire

to know everything about us while they hide everything from us. It's time to turn that around and expose what they want to hide.
