Starting point is 00:00:00 Come on, come on, yes, yes, come on. At this year's Cheltenham, glory rests in the lap of the gods. Oh, curses. Alas, our hero hasn't placed. But there are still divine offerings up for grabs, with all NoviBet customers getting a €10 free bet for every day of Cheltenham. And on top of that, we're paying up to seven places each way on selected races throughout the festival. I declare this a most generous offering.
Starting point is 00:00:25 No, we bet. More power to you. Using free speech to free minds. You're listening to The David Knight Show. As the clock strikes 13, it's Wednesday, the 19th of April, Year of Our Lord 2023. Well, today we're going to take a look at the ridiculous statements about godlike AI. It turns out that experts have actually called out Sundar Pichai for lying about these emerging characteristics or whatever they call the idea that Bard taught itself a language that had never been taught or never seen before. Yeah, there's a lot of artificial BS around artificial intelligence. We're also going to take a look at the Dominion Fox news case briefly talk about what was behind that and we'll have a guest today in the third hour who is both a doctor and a former SWAT team member who has something to say about school shootings should be interesting stay with us we'll be right back Well, yesterday after the program, of course,
Starting point is 00:02:40 they were saying that it was going to begin on Monday. They were going to have depositions in the Fox and Dominion defamation case. And that got delayed by a day, which everybody thought, well, that's kind of interesting. And I think that Mark Levin knew that was happening because he went on a rant about the judge, which probably would not have been in their interest if they had not already decided to make a settlement. And so they essentially cut the baby in half. They were being sued for about $1.4 billion. They agreed to $787 million, so a little bit more than half and of course the reason that
Starting point is 00:03:28 this happened was that people were talking about the case and it's going to be a landmark case because leaked emails had shown how the hosts like sean hann and Tucker Carlson didn't believe this stuff at all. And how in many cases they would privately say, this is total baloney. And, um, you know, Jenna Ellis and Sidney Powell, uh, don't have the receipts to back this up. They're just making baseless claims that they don't have any information about. And, uh, you know, look, I I've said for the longest time that I think we've got to stop these voting machines. Because for the longest time, for decades, I've been watching community college professors come into a local TV station with their students and take over a voting machine and change all the votes on it. We've had so much information about this and how in many cases, like in Texas, for example, the guy who runs the elections there was someone who used to work for the Rose Law Firm, was
Starting point is 00:04:37 brought in by Republican governors. I think it was Rick Perry who brought him in, you know, took a pay cut to go there, purportedly, and become the supervisor of elections. He didn't want to talk to me. When he saw me with the microphone, he ran the other direction. He was going to do an interview with me about, you know, elections are coming up. And then he realized when he saw where I was from
Starting point is 00:05:01 that I wasn't going to ask him all this stuff. Well, is it going to be a lot of turnout in the election today are you real excited about this and you know it wasn't going to be uh the tally ho from the village you know the prisoner series right tell us your favorite color that type of stuff he saw me and he goes nope not, not doing this. And he ran back up the stairs. But no, the bottom line is that he had in every, and this is the key thing that I reported on anyway, in every election he had sent every single county instructions that they were not to preserve images of the ballots.
Starting point is 00:05:45 Now, why would you do that? Why would you do that, sir? Can you please explain to the audience why you would do that? It's in the Constitution that you, in the Texas Constitution, that you keep a record of these votes or a facsimile of it. So why would he defy the constitution why would he give unconstitutional orders state constitution why would he give unconstitutional orders to these people and why would he hide it it's one of these things
Starting point is 00:06:18 it's just somehow it's a big tell when you've got climate scientists who want to hide the data and you've got COVID scientists, quote unquote, or pharmaceutical companies that want to hide the data. Or you've got election officials who want to hide the data, destroy the ballot information. I mean, there's just so many different ways we've seen this. Smartmatic has been accused not just by the Trump and conservative people in this last election. They've been accused from their very beginning. It was created by two people who were friends of Hugo Chavez in Venezuela, and he never lost an election after that. And then they exported it to countries like Brazil, the Philippines,
Starting point is 00:07:01 various provinces in Mexico, And there were big problems. People saying the election's been rigged. But even if it doesn't happen from the inside, it can happen from the outside. Very easily hacked. We've had the DEFCON and Black Hat Conference and a White Hat Conference that goes on in Las Vegas every year, back to back. And they had for several years prior to the 2020 election, they'd run things called Voter Village or something like that, where they would show the vulnerability of machines, the vulnerability of state boards of elections, websites, and all that sort of thing. One year they had kids come in, high school and junior high school students, to hack replicas of a state board of elections.
Starting point is 00:07:58 And the fastest one to do it was a young girl who was 11, 12, 13 years old or something like that. She was the fastest one. But all the kids that they brought in were able to do it except for two or three, and they allowed time limit. young girl was you know 11 12 13 years old or something like that she was the fastest one but all the kids that they brought in wave will do it except for two or three and they allowed time limit it's child's play in other words to hack these sites and if you think that anything on the internet is um is secure uh i got a bridge to sell you on the metaverse okay the the pentagon has been hacked. Uh, you know, you got leakers, you got people who hacked in
Starting point is 00:08:28 and got personnel files. You got the CIA had their vault seven program to disguise themselves as anybody that they wished when they went in and did their dirty cyber. Uh, work. So CIA and the NSA have been hacked. The Pentagon has been hacked. Everybody's been put. No, the voting the NSA have been hacked. The Pentagon's been hacked. Everybody's been, but no, the voting machines, that isn't possible. So we all know that that was possible. But then the question is, what was the Trump team doing to expose it? How were they, and nothing was being
Starting point is 00:09:00 done. And so Tucker Carlson and Sean Hannity were right in private what they said, but then the fact that they told people just the opposite is the key thing about this, because you see, you can make a mistake as the old expression is, you know, mistakes are free, but lies you pay for in journalism. If you make a mistake, you can even correct it. You have a period of time there where you can talk about that, but you have to correct it. You have a period of time there where you can talk about that, but you have to do that. And if you make a mistake and you don't correct it, and if information comes out, as it did in this Fox case,
Starting point is 00:09:34 that you knew better, that indicates malicious behavior, doesn't it? And so Fox News probably got off cheap off of this thing. Now, on the other side, legal experts are saying, well, yeah, but you've got to show that the corporation knew what was happening with all this stuff. Do you really? Are they not responsible for anything that their hosts say?
Starting point is 00:10:02 Let me tell you that when Megyn kelly came to info wars she came with a big entourage that prepares all the stuff that she reads she interviewed us and then talked to alex and stuff that was the lead up to the sandy hook stuff and you know they they coordinated that to do a pr thing along with the Sandy Hook lawsuit. But when her people were coming around and talking to us before they interviewed us, and again, as I've mentioned many times in the interview, we're talking about things. I told her I wasn't a fan of Trump at the time. She goes, oh, really?
Starting point is 00:10:39 She got very interested at that point. And I said, I know, things like civil asset forfeiture. What is that? She has no idea what that is. She's a lawyer. She makes like 25, $30 million a year. She doesn't care. Reading stuff that other people prepare for her. It's so pathetic.
Starting point is 00:10:56 What is wrong with this world? I don't know. Anyway, so some of her entourage there that did the work came around and said, how do you put the news together? What do you mean? I do it. And he says, no, but don't you have a meeting in the morning? Who runs the meeting in the morning where they decide what stories you're going to cover
Starting point is 00:11:18 from what angles and all this kind of stuff? And it's like, we don't do that. You don't do that? I mean, that's standard operating procedure at fox and everywhere right so how in the world could you say that fox news doesn't know about this as a matter of fact some of the emails that came out were people in management saying you know that program the other day where you criticize trump that's not a good thing that's not a good look for us you need to pull that. And so Dominion was going to point out, look,
Starting point is 00:11:49 they know what the situation is here. But just as Matt Taibbi said, the news has become people feeding the biases and the beliefs of the demographic that is their business. And, of course, doing whatever Pfizer wants. That's a key part of it. Good morning, America. Brought to you by Pfizer. You know, that whole thing. So you're not going to get any truth about them from drugs either.
Starting point is 00:12:20 So that was the whole thing. Now, you know, the legal experts said, I don't know. That seems to be a big bar to show that, you know, the Fox news corporation was, uh, even though these, these people are doing it, that the Fox news corporation, uh, doesn't do that. Well, I don't know. I mean, the thing is that, you know, Megan Kelly, when she was there was part of the people who did opinions. I mean, you could try to make the case as a corporation. Well, look, this is a, you know, in the evening we have our shows where people give you their analysis and their opinion. Uh, during the day we have the Fox news people who are out on the street filming and
Starting point is 00:12:55 reporting what they see, hopefully, honestly, of course, you know, we know that, uh, that part of it is skewed as well. Uh, especially for, you know, CNN, MSNBC. And so I think that would have been not that difficult for them to prove. So I think they got off pretty easily, frankly. And then on the Dominion side, some of the emails that came out during the discovery process, you know, and Fox, I think think was the first one to leak some of these emails and the way that they leaked them was, you know, they would make some court filings, essentially quoting them, I think, and that type of thing. And so what Fox news found from the emails inside dominion, you had people saying, Oh, this is great. You look at how much we paid for this company and look at how many, it was like four or five times,
Starting point is 00:13:46 you know, we would get, you know, if we win this judgment, we're going to like, you know, quintuple our money that we put in this thing right away. Isn't that great? Well, they probably doubled it throughout this at the very least. So it was, it was a real scam by both sides.
Starting point is 00:14:09 Quite frankly, I think. uh so it was um it was a real scam by both sides quite frankly i think um and it was uh kind of interesting to see but um you know when you look at how the news is put together uh it's a bit of a joke frankly um all these people that everyone hangs on every word that they do and it's uh and of course the last week or so we've had Tucker Carlson doing the safe stuff, having Trump on for an entire program, having Elon Musk on for an entire program. I know maybe, you know, that was, um, protective to, uh, be sure that if the Fox goes down, he's got somebody to fund him with a new news program. Um, I'm very cynical about these people, as you may have noticed, sorry, just based on experience.
Starting point is 00:14:49 I'm looking to see how these, you know, Tucker, look, Tucker does a lot of good stuff. Uh, but he can be a real limited hangout. And when it comes to the vaccines,
Starting point is 00:14:58 he's got blood on his hands. Absolutely got blood on his hands. So, Hey, look, I can understand these people, you know, well, I'll tell people understand these people, you know, well, I'll tell people the truth, but you know, I don't want to necessarily go after this other person.
Starting point is 00:15:09 Some people do that just because they want to be nice. Some people do it because it's their business model or whatever. But, um, when you pull back and don't give people full information about the vaccines, I've talked about that before. I'm not going to go into it again. Uh, but when you know what this stuff is and you hang back, uh, that's despicable. And so I'm not a fan of Tucker. I'm not a fan of any, anybody actually. I just, you know, because when you look at this stuff, um, all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, including yours truly, but not because I didn't want to tell the truth. That's what their business is.
Starting point is 00:15:49 How do they have credibility? How do they have an audience when they don't tell the truth? Well, just like the politicians, no matter how they betray you, no matter how they lie to you, no matter how they harm you, you'll still fanatically give them money and follow them everywhere, right? As we see with Trump. So Texas is now coordinating with the ATF to share income of residents for warrantless monitoring. See?
Starting point is 00:16:12 Texas, gun rights for all, you know? And conservative Greg Abbott, who took the first $300 million he got from Trump, who was stealing it from you, and used used it to gave it to a shell corporation up in Frisco, Texas, to start to do surveillance, tracking of people, contact surveillance and tracking and things like that. Yeah. They're great guys. Aren't they love the conservative values there.
Starting point is 00:16:41 So they're going to coordinate with the ATF. Warrantless searches of people looking at their income, profiling them with, um, based on their income. I mean, just how did they get this stuff? Right. Because you don't have an income tax in Texas. Uh, but again, um, betraying people, uh, my office will be looking at whether the Texas Workforce Commission is assisting the ATF in the Biden administration's mission to violate the constitutional rights of law-abiding Texans. They said after the gun owners of America found out about this in a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit. Look, I don't have any ax to grind gun owners, you know, NRA versus gun owners of America versus National Association of Gun Rights. I did do some work for the National
Starting point is 00:17:34 Association of Gun Rights. I've never done anything for the NRA or the gun owners of America. I don't have any personal involvement in any of this, but just as a gun owner and as a citizen, I have watched the NRA over the years and I've watched gun owners of America over the years. And, um, Larry Pratt, now his son is running it. And, um, he has always been straight up Larry Pratt. And it appears that gun owners of America still is. As I said before, when we looked at the bump stock thing with Trump, you know, they're playing politics. Well, I'm not going to oppose Trump on this because I don't want to make him look bad.
Starting point is 00:18:14 We'll come back to him when there's something really important. Well, it was a precedent. And if you don't understand that, you're useless as a gun rights organization, NRA. If you don't understand the precedent that was set with the bump stocks, you're useless. You're worse than useless. You take a powder on one of the most significant things that's been done in terms of gun control. And that is to set the precedent of gun control by executive order,
Starting point is 00:18:36 even bypassing the Congress, which has been the point of violating the constitution in the back, uh, in the, um, in the past, violating the Constitution in the past, stabbing it in the back. Gun owners of America, however, fought that. They fought against Trump. And they have never been tied to a political party.
Starting point is 00:18:56 They've always been focused on the issue. And from what I saw of National Association of Gun Rights, the same thing. There are good organizations out there, and there are some that are bloated, political, self-serving organizations. And in my opinion, the NRA is one of those. So I am not the NRA. Okay? Never going to be. Not a card-carrying member of the NRA or the ACLU.
Starting point is 00:19:23 I remember in the Libertarian Party, oh, ACLU. And it's like, no, they're not. They're not on our side. I'm not going to get in the ACLU. You certainly know that. And that's come out in more than one way. You would always hear people say, but, you know, it's, but look, you know, they're getting better.
Starting point is 00:19:43 Yeah, they're getting better. Yeah, they're getting better. You got a slew of cities who are suing Kia and Hyundai for making vehicles easily stolen. You know, stealing your car. Biden is stealing your car. Okay, forget about this stuff. This is small potatoes here that people are able to electronically break into these cars. Look, we're going to talk about what's going on with the climate thing coming up here. I think that we have a pause on the pandemic, MacGuffin.
Starting point is 00:20:17 But the climate, MacGuffin, is coming back big time. Big time. All the news lately in terms of attacking freedom is coming from the climate MacGuffin. They're looking at climate lockdowns, looking at taking our meat and dairy and all this other kind of stuff. But you know, this, this has come out in the past and people said, oh, you're exaggerating.
Starting point is 00:20:37 This is a conspiracy. We're not coming up. No. Now you got the mayor of New York actually saying it, telling you what the agenda of this organization of cities, C40 is. As a matter of fact, it's surprising to me, the people who wrote about his speech, they were saying, can you believe how ridiculous this is? I mean, he's actually saying that he wants us to eat or take away meat and dairy and they want us to eat bugs and stuff like that. So he didn't talk about the bug eating thing.
Starting point is 00:21:01 Uh, that was Nicholas cage cage but the um talking about how they want to take all this stuff away well i looked at it and it's like of course because they're one of the founding members of c40 and um you know and he even referenced c40 in his speech and yet people don't want to talk about C40. Interesting. Commercial real estate giant Brookfield has defaulted on $161 million debt for D.C. office buildings. Now let me just talk about what a harbinger of bad news this is for the economy. Washington, D.C. is always growing by leaps and bounds. The government is always expanding and, and it's, you know, throwing out trillions and trillions of dollars every year.
Starting point is 00:21:50 Now, you know, three to $6 trillion a year that it's handing out to people. It's this giant black hole of corruption pulling in anybody in the universe who wants to make a quick buck. And so they set up lobbying offices there, you know, to skim off some money, buy some congressmen who can, you know, you get a congressman, it's a great return on investment. You can usually get several thousand percent return on investment. And so with all the economic activity going on around Washington, D.C., they have commercial real estate, a giant,
Starting point is 00:22:28 is losing $161 million. Well, they're defaulting on that loan. And they've got, as I point out, J.P. Morgan and Goldman Sachs are saying borrowers are facing higher debt service costs and refinancing is becoming much harder ahead of a 400 billion, not million, billion commercial real estate debt maturities coming in this year alone. And so this is one of the harbingers of the first ones, and it's coming out of a city that should be growing by leaps and bounds
Starting point is 00:23:03 as the government is growing by leaps and bounds as the government is growing by leaps and bounds nobody's getting fired in washington they're just adding a new stuff there all the time so when you look at this um everybody else we got a record number of americans 69 percent never had that many people concerned about the economy. And so then just to show you how scary this is, this is the scariest news I've seen yet by far and away. The most concerning news. Uh, Jim Cramer is bullish on the economy. We're done.
Starting point is 00:23:39 He is always 180 degrees away from the right direction in the markets. And so when he's saying, uh, investors shouldn't be shadow boxing with recession fears. Uh, we should just, you know, jump into the stock market right now, but everything you got into the stock market says Jim Kramer, which means you want to go in the opposite direction. Uh, you want to take, like we were talking about yesterday, you know, the only thing that's safe is physical gold and silver that you have in your hands. You know, not in the bank, not in a depository, uh, not in, uh, certainly not in paper, gold and silver. As we were talking to, uh, uh, capitalist Eric yesterday, this is blog site. And of course you can get all that stuff from Tony Aardman. It's nice to give a link to his site, wisewolf.gold, davidknight.gold.
Starting point is 00:24:31 Take you there. And you can set it up on a regular basis. It's one of the key things. We talk about people preparing. And it isn't just about storage. Storing food, fine, except these people are planning on shutting down all means of production for the long term. So you got to figure out how you're going to do this. And when you start to do it, uh, when you start to learn how to grow your own food or, uh, some of these other
Starting point is 00:24:56 things yourself, and you start making relationships with people in the community, you have to do it little by little. You can't do it all at once. And you can't do all of the, you know, transferring everything all at once either. You know, most of us don't have that much disposable income. So if you do it a little by little, that's why Tony Arteman set up Wise Wolf at wisewolf.gold. He set up the Wolf Pack. And so you can set up a savings program each month. You set aside a little bit and you get physical metals, gold and silver. And that's the way that you need to prepare. That's the way you need to learn how to grow your own food, find other people in your community that can grow their own food. As a matter of fact, I had a friend here in the area who contacted me yesterday. He's about an hour
Starting point is 00:25:44 away from us, so it's not something that we would necessarily be able to do, but I might get the people on to talk about what they're doing because I think everybody needs to look at some possible solutions, what other people are doing, what you might be able to replicate in your community. But it's a family who, they're farmers. They've got two children who are severely injured with vaccines,
Starting point is 00:26:05 so they're hardcore set against it. And when they see this mRNA stuff being injected into beef and into pork, and there's talks about doing it genetically, even into vegetables, they said, all right, we're going to set up a processing plant for meat, and we're going to make sure that we inspect this stuff, and we're going to be a source of clean meat for the community. You know, is there some interest here in this? And so I want to talk to them about how they're going to roll this out, how this is going to look for them. They're a couple of months away from actually rolling it out,
Starting point is 00:26:40 but that's the type of thing we're going to have to do. There isn't going to be anybody who's going to save us in Washington. And, uh, as a matter of fact, Washington is our enemy. If you haven't noticed, Ronald Reagan was telling us that a long time ago, and he was telling you the truth about that. Uh, and, um, you know, government is not your savior. It's, um, it's coming after you. And so we need to start figuring out how we're going to take care of ourselves instead of being dependent on government, that whole,
Starting point is 00:27:11 the whole thing about this obsession with presidential elections. And I made an obsession about it, not just because, you know, we want to try to, you know, see which way the wind is blowing, what's likely to be coming at us,
Starting point is 00:27:22 you know, because the Republicans will come at us in a different way than the Democrats will come after us, but they're both going to come after us. And so we want to see which way the wind is blowing. Yeah, that's legitimate to do that. We should know that we shouldn't be blindsided by these people, but they're not going to help us. Yeah. Once, uh, the most dangerous thing is that, you know, when your party gets in power, you just sit back and you do nothing. When the Democrats get in, everybody starts buying guns.
Starting point is 00:27:50 When the Republicans get in, they stop buying guns. Really? Yeah, maybe the Republicans will turn over your information to the ATF. We'll be right back. The Common man. They created common core to dumb down our children. They created common past to track and control us.
Starting point is 00:28:21 Their commons project to make sure the commoners own nothing. And the communist future. They see the common man as simple, unsophisticated, ordinary, but each of us has worth and dignity created in the image of God. That is what we have in common. That is what they want to take away. Their most powerful weapons are isolation, deception, intimidation. They desire to know everything about us while they hide everything from us. It's time to turn that around and expose what they want to hide.
Starting point is 00:29:00 Please share the information and links you'll find at thedavidknightshow.com. Thank you for listening. Thank you for sharing. If you can't support us financially, please keep us in your prayers. The David Knight Show dot com. what's kind of interesting an article was on zero hedge uh from mish talk.com it says as amazing as it sounds european central bank president christine lagarde is making sense. And so she had a speech and he said, you know, there's actually 10 points here where I don't have any disagreement with her. Number one, she talks about how energy is being weaponized. The fragmentation of the global economy into competing blocks.
Starting point is 00:30:01 More multipolarity as geopolitical tensions continue to mount. Historically, geopolitical risks that lead to high inflation and lower economic activity and fall in international trade. And of course, as I've said many times, I lived through the Arab oil embargo where they were establishing the power of OPEC. And I know exactly what is being done by the Biden embargoes to establish the power of the global oligarchy. Yeah, they don't come out with the same overt organizational structures and everything as
Starting point is 00:30:43 OPEC did, but that's exactly what he's doing. It is part of his great reset and the weaponization of energy, not just the website weaponization of the fiat currencies. Anyway, number five, significant correlation between a country's trade with China and its holdings of their currency as reserves. Uh,
Starting point is 00:31:01 and six countries intend to increase their use of alternatives to major trading traditional currencies for invoicing international trade, such as the Chinese currency or the Indian currency. Increased accumulation of gold as an alternative reserve asset, possibly driven by countries with closer geopolitical ties to China and Russia. Number eight, attempts to create alternatives to SWIFT. Since 2014, Russia has developed such a system for domestic and cross-border use. What was significant about 2014? Why would they do it then? They saw what the U.S. was doing in Ukraine.
Starting point is 00:31:39 They knew then what was happening. They knew that they had suspected, and even the more hardcore amongst them knew that what we saw happening in Yugoslavia in the 90s was part of a NATO march towards Russia. And then when you had the Obama administration engineer that coup in the Ukraine and all the stuff that happened with that, Russia said, okay, it's coming. So they developed a system for domestic use, cross-border use. Swift is a messaging system that is part of the clearing of payments. They engineered that with over 50 banks across a dozen countries. That's what it's grown to last year. So they had eight years to do it. And since 2015, China has established its own system to clear payments as well on their currency. These developments do not point to any imminent loss of dominance for the U.S. dollar or the euro, she said. So far, the data does not show substantial changes in the use of international currencies,
Starting point is 00:32:49 but they do suggest that international currency status should no longer be taken for granted. Oh, there you go. Now, you know, you see the opinions of a few people. They're now in the minority. It's interesting to see the mainstream media is now feeding us the idea that, hey, you know, the petrodollar as reserve currency may be disappearing. It was all over Drudge yesterday. After the show, I pulled it up and looked at it and said, Karen, I said, look at this. You know, all the articles in the upper left corner of the Drudge report are all about the weakness of the dollar and the international financial system being reset and all the rest of this stuff
Starting point is 00:33:27 we have some people who are of the mind that this is um not going to happen because the u.s dollar is just so fundamental to everything and uh you know we have a really strong economy and a rule of law here that people can trust and all these other myths about America that are there. All that stuff. As I said before, when you see empires and this is what America has become now an empire, we see empires fall.
Starting point is 00:33:59 It's usually because they've rotted from the inside. They're like a gigantic dead tree that may be you know many many decades or even centuries old this massive sprawling tree and it's all dead on the inside and then a wind comes along and knocks it over one day uh we don't know when that wind is going to come but this is something that has been happening for a long time i mentioned earlier in the show about uh me Megyn Kelly's ignorance and basically doesn't even care when you explain it to her what civil asset forfeiture is. And let me tell you this story about what happened to a truck
Starting point is 00:34:35 driver. I've got a lot of listeners who are truck drivers. One strong supporter for the love of the road, especially. But I know a lot of people will listen to the show when they're doing something like driving a truck. It makes it very easy to catch the show while you're driving. But this exactly parallels the case that first introduced me to civil asset forfeiture in the early 90s, so 30 years ago or so.
Starting point is 00:35:06 And that particular case, it was a black man who had $9,000 in cash and he was going to, um, buy a truck full of supplies and all this other kind of stuff, fly to the air and drive the truck back and so forth and pay for it with cash. He goes, um, he didn't make a reservation in advance. So he just shows up. It's early nineties. This is before 2001. He shows up to the airport and, um, just, I need to buy a ticket.
Starting point is 00:35:38 Okay. All right. And he pulls out a big wad of cash and flashes that counts out the money to him. He puts it back in his pocket and they call the DEA at the time. They didn't have TSA at the time. I think this guy's doing drugs. I mean, he's black and he's got a lot of cash. Come on.
Starting point is 00:35:54 You know, he's taken a flight at the last minute and he was completely innocent. It was all legit. But what they did was the DEA took his cash and charged it with being a suspected accessory in drugs, because, you know, you take the cash there, you let the dog smell it. It's like, yeah, yeah. It's got some cocaine on there. I can tell. And that's what happened to him. But, and so then I started seeing a lot of these types of things.
Starting point is 00:36:21 A guy who had a jet service i've mentioned many times and they confiscated his jet i said yeah you flew some people who were doing a drug deal i didn't know anything about well yeah we know you didn't know anything about it but your your plane was an accessory to the crime so we're going to charge your plane with committing a crime and on and on we've had parents who've had their entire home confiscated because they claim that they found a leftover marijuana butt on the front porch. Parents said, well, I don't know where that came from. It might've come from some of my son's friends or something, but we didn't do anything about
Starting point is 00:36:59 that. We're not dealing drugs. It's okay. But you know, um, that's fine. We're not coming after you. We're just, uh, your home here. Uh, I know, that's fine. We're not coming after you. We're just your home here. I'll give you one more example before we go into this one. The same person, Carmine Ortiz, who was a federal attorney up in Massachusetts,
Starting point is 00:37:20 the woman who was a part of the murder of Aaron Schwartz, who pushed back against CISPA, ACTUS, OPA, PIPA, all these things. He was a lead guy pushing it. They, you know, said he hacked into a computer there at Harvard. Harvard didn't care anything about it. The local prosecutors didn't, but the federal prosecutor wanted to make an example out of him because he'd pushed back on these legislation things. and he wound up supposedly committing suicide in prison and um yet um you know people started complaining about her and her husband went on social media and said she didn't drive him to suicide as a matter of of fact, she offered to let him go if he would do this and this. And he hung tight on this because he wanted to make an example out of this stuff.
Starting point is 00:38:10 That's the kind of guy Aaron Schwartz was. He wasn't somebody who was going to cower in the corner and, oh, yes, I can't handle the stress. No, he put himself in that arena. And he did it time and time again. He subsequently took that down. But the reason I mention that, the reason those are tied together in my mind, is because she had confiscated an entire hotel. Because she came in and said, over the last 15 years, there have been three drug busts at your hotel.
Starting point is 00:38:43 So your hotel is part of the drug trade. Three over 15 years. It's like, what? And, um, you know, I didn't have anything to do this. Well, we're not charging you. We're charging your hotel. Uh, that got her a lot of publicity as well. Between that and the Aaron Schwartz thing, they've been, she'd been grooming herself
Starting point is 00:39:03 and other people hadn't been grooming her for higher office to run for governor, I think. And that kind of ended it, those two, especially the Aaron Schwartz thing. So here's what is happening now. Has anything changed? Has it gotten any better? Why no? You've got people like Megyn Kelly who don't know and don't care about civil
Starting point is 00:39:20 asset forfeiture. You got presidents, both Republican and Democrat, who if they know, they like it. As a matter of fact, Trump's reefer madness district attorney general, Sessions, he loved all that stuff. All this stuff came from Ronald Reagan, and guess who the guy was who wrote all this stuff?
Starting point is 00:39:44 Biden. Biden came up with these draconian measures, a civil asset forfeiture, mandatory minimums that filled up the prisons and all the rest of this stuff. He's proud of that. And so this is a confiscation of a man's $40,000 in life savings. Federal case against nearly $40,000. The trucker was carrying to buy a new rig for his company,
Starting point is 00:40:04 but it was confiscated by the government. Has now been dismissed. It was actually $39,500 that had been returned now to the business owner, Jerry Johnson. The case was continuing over issues of interest and lawyer's fees, and now the Institute for Justice says that those have been resolved, and the case has now just been dismissed. The cash was confiscated when Johnson was at the Phoenix, Arizona airport in 2020. My, how things have changed.
Starting point is 00:40:37 We've gone from a black landscaper at the airport, and I don't know, was it 1991 or something like that? And here we are, you know, 30 plus years later. And at the airport now, it's a trucker. And I guess it's maybe if you adjust it for the devaluation of the dollar called inflation, maybe it's about the same amount of money. Things were four times as expensive now as they were back then. There was no reason for the confiscation except that he was carrying money,
Starting point is 00:41:06 just like that other case. Jerry flew to Phoenix with a goal of purchasing a semi for his Charlotte, North Carolina trucking company in August of 2020. At baggage claim, Jerry was questioned by police and his money was seized and subjected to civil forfeiture. An Arizona trial court ruled that he failed to prove that the cash was his. Just because he's carrying it, I don't know, I think it probably belongs to the TSA. Don't you? Good, huh? I think that belongs to us us all your cash belonged to us he could not therefore he
Starting point is 00:41:47 could not contest the civil forfeiture of his money and that's one of the other things too again when we unpack this the fact they call it civil is one of the most insidious lies and prevarications that they've used to usurp this power. They say, well, this is not a criminal forfeiture. A criminal forfeiture would be if you had violated any laws. And if we'd accused you of violating laws, of course, we would have to give you due process and find you guilty and then confiscate your cash. No, this is civil. And what civil means is that some agency somewhere created a rule.
Starting point is 00:42:26 This is not a law passed by Congress. This is a rule created by a bureaucracy. And we claim that the rules, because it's a rule and not a law. See, this is the fundamental despicable thing that's there. Have you ever heard a politician tell you about this? Anybody want to talk about this? I've been talking about this for over 30 years. The cynical
Starting point is 00:42:47 civil side of this. The fact that they claim that if you violate a rule from the IRS or from the DEA or a rule from the FAA or fill in the blank, any three-letter agency, can
Starting point is 00:43:03 pass a rule. These unelected, unaccountable bureaucrats can pass a rule. And once they pass a rule, they can also accuse you of violating that. And if they accuse you of violating it, you don't get due process. And you don't have to be found guilty. And you don't get any protection from excessive fines either. Don't you think this is excessive? Well, it was excessive when the FAA said,
Starting point is 00:43:33 you're going to register all your drones now, even down to little tiny toy weights, drones, you know, little tiny ones, a few years ago. And, you know, if you register it'll be a minimum fee, you know, $50 or $20 be a minimum fee you know you know fifty dollars or twenty dollars or something i don't even remember what that was but if we find that you're flying and even a toy-sized drone and uh you don't have that thing registered we can find you twenty thousand dollars just look at the excessive fines that the faa was hitting people
Starting point is 00:44:03 with over these mask fights on airplanes. People get sick and tired, sick from breathing in the stuff, and we got an article about that as well. You think now you've got a study saying all these people complaining about long COVID, a lot of those things are because they're wearing their masks for a long time, a long time every day, and for a couple of years now. You're making yourself sick. It's a new kind of hypochondria that literally makes people sick. But then you had all these mask fights,
Starting point is 00:44:36 and these people were given thousands of dollars of fines because they had an argument, not necessarily physical, but they talked back to these flight attendants about the public health orders that were put out. None of this stuff was legal. None of this stuff was done by passing laws. And you don't question any of this stuff. And there's no appeal to this stuff, right?
Starting point is 00:45:02 So that's where we are, the civil forfeiture no it's actually criminal theft being done by government because there are laws that prohibit this and it's just that's how they that's how they manipulate us oh yeah we this is uh passed by bureaucracy so constitution doesn't apply the institute of Justice took over the case on appeal. The Arizona Court of Appeals held that the lower court's ruling violated Jerry's right to due process. Yeah, always does. That his case needed to be more carefully considered. The forfeiture case against Jerry Johnson's life savings will now be dismissed with prejudice,
Starting point is 00:45:45 meaning that it cannot be filed again because they will keep coming back and back and back. The court also said Johnson not only gets his money back, but also 9% interest for the time. That's good that the government held it and is eligible to be compensated for attorney's fees. The Institute of Justice said this marks the end of a legal saga that left Jerry Johnson without his money for more than two and a half years during the pandemic. After a trial court originally ruled that he could not even contest the forfeiture of his money,
Starting point is 00:46:15 the Institute for Justice intervened in May of 2022 and successfully appealed his case, securing a published opinion upholding that property owners do not have to prove their own innocence in order to contest a forfeiture. So that's the other part of it. They say because this is not criminal, you have no due process, you have no presumption of innocence. As a matter of fact, you've got to prove that you're innocent to us. The same rules that we allowed the IRS to operate under for a long time
Starting point is 00:46:42 have now metastasized this cancer from the IRS has now metastasized out to every one of the alphabet agencies. And that's what's so outrageous about this whole thing. It's kind of interesting to see while we're talking about legal issues, how Clarence Thomas has, you know, they're trying to intimidate him. They're trying to find something on him. And let me give you an example of just how they're reaching, overreaching on this. So you see the headlines. Clarence Thomas has been claiming thousands of dollars annually from a shuttered real estate firm.
Starting point is 00:47:21 This is probably some kind of real estate investment trust. And so they said for the last two decades, he's been getting something from a company called ginger, right? And initially it was ginger limited partnership. But in 2006, that partnership was shut down and replaced by a new firm. The new firm ginger hold LLC, is named similarly, but in his income tax returns that they're going over, the Washington Post is going over them with a fine-tooth comb. Oh, wait a minute.
Starting point is 00:47:57 Ginger Limited? That doesn't exist. And he wrote, and he kept writing it down because he was, you know, just taking last year's tax return and, you know, rolling it over. But they changed the name. And so they said, and they even know in this article from CNBC, they even know that they're trying to harass him and make a crime out of something that's simply a paperwork issue. They said, even if the misstatement can be reduced to a paperwork error, because they know that's what it is. It marks the latest question around the justices' financial practices.
Starting point is 00:48:33 Yeah. Again. See, it's just another brick in the wall. And it's a nothing. It's nothing at all. Now, they're trying to come after Clarence Thomas. It is amazing to see. Clarence Thomas is not perfect.
Starting point is 00:48:46 I have disagreed with him on some issues, disagreed with him on some of his decisions that were happening with the pandemic and things like that. But he's been, along with Scalia, some of the most consistently legitimate judges there. And now that, not Scalia so much. I'm not that big a fan of Scalia, frankly. I said Scalia. I met the other guy,
Starting point is 00:49:12 Alito, right? Now that Scalia is gone, died with a pillow over his head. That will always have a special place in my memory, going to that place where he died, a hotel. I just cannot explain to you how strange that was. I've tried many times to explain to Karen.
Starting point is 00:49:37 It's just this occultic artwork and everything all over the place. And it's out in the middle of nowhere. And I mean literally the middle of nowhere. And they've got, and I mean, literally the middle of nowhere and close to the border. So they can bring over stuff and people, uh, across the border. And then they've got this airport there. I mean, it's just my spidey senses were just tingling the whole time I was there and it was beyond creepy, beyond creepy. Beyond creepy. It's just that everything about that place, everything about that death was suspicious to me.
Starting point is 00:50:13 Anyway, no, but since Scalia died with a pillow over his head, Clarence Thomas has come into his own. He used to be very quiet, and he used to typically find, you know, vote on the right side. But now he has really taken a leadership position now. And so they're coming after him, coming after him. And so, of course, you know, when we look at the injustice, and I've mentioned this a couple of times because last week we had the fourth anniversary of the indictment of Julian Assange.
Starting point is 00:50:39 The New American picked it up and talked about it as well on the 16th over the weekend. Although explicitly protected by the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, the right to a free press has been repeatedly denied by the federal government. One of the most unconscionable examples of this, of course, is the case of Julian Assange. Four years ago this week, the U.S. government sought to arrest Assange. And I think it's like, OK, who was president at that time? Let's not talk about that. They won't talk about it. I don't know who.
Starting point is 00:51:11 I have no idea who was president in 2019. It was Trump, of course. The U.S. government, under Trump, sought to arrest Assange, charging him with a violation of the Espionage Act of 1917, accusing him of having possessed and published state secrets. Why did that happen at that time? Why did, again, the U.S. has never sought to prosecute a journalistic entity under the Espionage Act for either receiving secret government documents
Starting point is 00:51:41 from a source or further disseminating the documents themselves or information from them in the course of reporting. I'll tell you why this is happening, because he had Bill Barr as attorney general. This is why this stuff is going through. Julian Assange did not pass state secrets to an enemy of the U.S. He passed evidence of corruption to the public. That's why I wanted to talk about this. That's exactly what it is.
Starting point is 00:52:05 Evidence of corruption. If he's ultimately, if he's extradited, he will be brought back to the Eastern District of Virginia to face 17 Espionage Act counts that would keep him in prison for 175 years. You see, I talked about this many times, that Barack Obama charged people under the 1917 Espionage Act. He charged more people than all the previous presidents
Starting point is 00:52:38 and the prior 100 years combined had done. But then, you know, Trump, when he gets the CIA AG in, they charge Julian Assange with it. And of course, you know, there was a back and forth, a quid pro quo. Hey, you know, if you help me on this Russiagate stuff, I'll let you out. Otherwise, no, no, you're going to die there. Just cynical power abuse. They quote a French philosopher, Benjamin Constant.
Starting point is 00:53:10 He said, by authorizing the government to deal ruthlessly with whatever opinions there may be, you are giving it the right to interpret thought, to make inductions, in a nutshell, to reason, and to put its reasoning in the place of the facts, which ought to be the sole basis for government counteraction. This is to establish despotism and to give it a free hand. And that's what we see now. You give the government a free hand for evildoing, provided that it is careful to engage in evil thinking, you will never escape from this circle.
Starting point is 00:53:46 The men to whom you entrust the right to judge opinions are quite as susceptible as others to being misled or corrupted, and the arbitrary power which you have invested in them, and let me just add parenthetically here, by your blind trust and belief in getting the right president in office can be used against the most necessary truth as well as against the most fatal errors. We're going to take a break. And when we come back, I want to talk about what is happening with a climate McGovern,
Starting point is 00:54:19 a lot of news with that, uh, that is happening. And, um, you know, Eric, uh, Adams, the, uh, mayor there, um, that is happening. And, um, you know, Eric, uh, Adams, the mayor there,
Starting point is 00:54:27 um, Adams is now the mayor of the big apple. I guess we could call it the, uh, the big Adams apple. Uh, so we, we're going to take a look at the big Adams apple and what this guy had to say and what he's trying to get us to swallow we'll be right back Thank you. you're listening to the david knight show headline new york mayor goes to war against meat and dairy as the climate agenda escalates. And of course, you know, we've had our war on oil. Now we're going to have our war on food. The war on oil was about a war on energy, which affects everything. This is not about meat and dairy.
Starting point is 00:55:58 This is about a war on food. So the other one is not about petroleum products. It's a war on energy this is not about meat and dairy or any you know nonsense justification for that this is about food they want to starve us of energy they want to starve us of food they want to contaminate the food and of course they've dropped all these bread crumb hints along the way you know well if we control the food supply we can bring them to their knees and so forth. They'll be begging us to save them and all the rest of this stuff. Well, we're going to show you what this looks like. Just think about the
Starting point is 00:56:33 unprecedented absurdity of this. Why are these, why isn't this a total outrage? Why are the people of New York, for example, saying we got to recall this guy? Well, of course, they can't get upset about anything, can they? Even in Chicago, that has descended into chaos. Hundreds of weaponized teenagers, weaponized by the school system. A school system where in Chicago, only 33, not only, but 33 schools they can't read. And 50 some odd schools they can't do math. But they certainly know the strength in numbers, don't they? Once they can get out as a mob and just start attacking people at random.
Starting point is 00:57:20 It used to be that we'd say the politician is as American as mom and apple pie, right? Well, you know, those are the value. Mom and apple pie. Maybe now we need to start talking about dad and T-bone steaks, huh? The war on food. First, they came for the power plants. Then they came for the farms and the cars. Well, before they came for the farms, they came for the cars and the planes and all of our transportation. Now they're coming after the farms as well. As this article from Zero Hedge
Starting point is 00:57:52 says, well, cow farts don't cause global warming. There's zero evidence of any causational relationship between animal farming and rising global temperatures. In fact, there is zero evidence of any causational relationship between carbon methane or nitrogen emissions and rising global temperatures. As a matter of fact, climate gate showed just the opposite. These people scrambling around saying, Hey, our data, uh, our data models are wrong. How do we hide the fact that the temperatures are declining? Yeah. And they came up with some lying justifications and stuff for that.
Starting point is 00:58:26 And they continued to be able to get away with hiding the information, as I've talked about many times. But look, I don't even believe it's bigger than the fact. Well, you can't correlate the cows to climate change. It's bigger than that. Prove to me first that there is global warming. I am a global warming denier and proud of it. Just like I don't just have a problem with the Trump shots.
Starting point is 00:58:50 I always had a problem with the vaccines. I have a big problem with them. And I have a big problem with this whole global warming nonsense. There isn't any global warming. And I've shown you many different ways that you can analyze the data, observe this stuff, and we know what is happening with it. As a matter of fact, I don't have this in my stack of stuff here. I came across it yesterday, and I forgot to put it in here. And in a gist, in one of these countries, and I forget which one because I don't have the article in here,
Starting point is 00:59:25 I didn't read it this morning. They went back and they found that there was just under one degree of bias that was built into their digital thermometers. How about that? You want to go back and calibrate your thermometers with the old mercury thermometers? You're telling everybody that the planet's going to die and all this, if the temperatures
Starting point is 00:59:48 go up by one degree. And if we go back and we look at the old guy who's now passed away, I call him the old guy because I can't remember his name, but he was an outspoken opponent of all this climate stuff, founder of the weather channel. He says, look, you're telling people that if it goes up a fraction of a degree, we're all going to die? Based on what? Based on readings taken off of mercury thermometers?
Starting point is 01:00:14 They didn't have that kind of accuracy then? And you got all the parallax view of this error distortion when you're reading stuff off? To get within a degree of something? You don't have a basis to even compare this stuff to. And now we find out that these digital thermometers are biased. They have a literal bias in them. So, yeah, why don't you check the calibration of this stuff,
Starting point is 01:00:39 and why don't we recalibrate this entire narrative, because it's nothing but a lie. The UN's climate report, Livestock's Long Shadow, claims that livestock alone are responsible for 18% of greenhouse gas emissions. I'm so sick of these terms. Let's just call it unicorn farts. Because I'm sick of calling it what they call it. 18% of unicorn farts come from livestock.
Starting point is 01:01:07 The figure calculates unicorn fart emissions among the entire supply chain, from land use and processing to transportation to refrigeration and supermarkets. Yeah, this is why we should say the burden of proof is on you. You're going to talk about energy use in terms of transportation and storing the stuff at the supermarket as being a part because i guess you know if we eat bugs we don't have to refrigerate them because they're already rancid veganism they said can lead to
Starting point is 01:01:39 reduced cognitive function uh say multiple studies this This is coming from Zero Hedge. Lower intelligence. The human brain requires several nutrients that simply cannot be found in plants. Maybe the establishment's goal in the future is to keep the average person as stupid as possible. Maybe that's what it is. Maybe it's Brave New World. The caste system that was in Huxley's Brave New World. Yeah, let's, you know, vegetarians be the Epsilons or something. No offense if you're a vegetarian.
Starting point is 01:02:10 I should do it for my health probably more so, but I just can't bring myself to do it. Anyway, where is all this coming from? Well, this is part of the C40 cities. This is something that was started uh london was where it initially kicked off the mayor at the time was ken livingstone and as he said at the time and as they pointed out you know where he got the money from the clinton climate initiative 2005 this is uh after clinton is gone right right? These things like the Clinton Foundation and things like that.
Starting point is 01:02:46 They had the Clinton Climate Initiative. And so they get with the mayor of London. They get with the mayor of New York at the time, Michael Bloomberg, who, by the way, you remember he was a Republican? Yeah, he had that R behind his name. Rhino for sure. But nevertheless, he was, you know, it was Bloomberg in New York, and it was Ken Livingstone in London and it was the Quinton money.
Starting point is 01:03:11 Where'd they get all that money? You know, that Hillary and Bill were just born into wealthy families. No, that wasn't it. That's right. They had this business where they made billions of dollars. No, that wasn't it either. How did they get all that money? Oh, that's right.
Starting point is 01:03:28 Cow futures. Cattle futures. Isn't that ironic? Somebody who made so much money by accurately predicting cattle futures, when she'd had no experience in it at all. Somehow, now they want to shut down the cattle in your future. The Clintons at the center of all this stuff. And so when it was initially founded back in 2005, it had about 20 cities.
Starting point is 01:03:50 It was called the C20. Then they renamed it to C40, but now it's more than doubled that. They've got 97 different cities have joined into this thing now since 2005. They acknowledge on their website that the Clinton Climate Initiative was, quote, our implementing partner who helped to establish this. So then that brings us to Eric Adams, who is following the plan to a T. He's talking about how they're going to reduce all this stuff by what? What is the date, 20 30 yes we already know what the date is and all that we got to stop eating meat and
Starting point is 01:04:31 dairy and all the rest of stuff 20 30 they're going to cut it down like by half or something like that but they're going to move that number up and they'll move the date up because they need to have 20 30 is when they want to have their new society in place. It's not when they're going to start reducing everything for us. And so here he is telling us how wonderful veganism is and how horrible meat and dairy are. And as I point out in this article, he slurs his sentences and then asserts, we already know that a plant-powered diet is better for your physical and mental health. And I am living proof of that as he struggles to speak. So hear it for yourself. We're going to look back on what we're doing here in New York
Starting point is 01:05:18 and what we're doing in London and how this impacts the way we have been thinking. And it also is going to be an uncomfortable moment for many. It is easy to talk about emissions that are coming from vehicles and how it impacts our carbon footprint. It is easy to talk about emissions that are coming from buildings and how it impacts our environment. Emissions from buildings. But we now have to talk about beef.
Starting point is 01:05:48 And I don't know if people are really ready for this conversation. And we can't have a level of hypocrisy where we want to ensure that we do local laws to address the emissions that's come from fossil fuel, but not willing to have a real conversation on what food is doing to us. First time we're doing this. We've worked with the C40 Cities Climate Leadership Group, and I want to take my hat off to a great corporate partner, American Express and Eco Data Lab, to put this new inventory together. And we're grateful for their partnership. And again, as I mentioned, my colleague across the pond, Mayor Kahn,
Starting point is 01:06:45 and the partnership that New York and London are bringing together to lead on climate from both sides of the Atlantic. The new integrated emission inventory we're unveiling today show that food is the third biggest source of cities emissions right after buildings and transportation. Third right after buildings and transportation. One in every five metric tons of carbon dioxide our city emits comes from food. But all food is not created equal. The vast majority of food that is contributing to our emission crisis lies in meat and dairy products. We already know that a plant-powered diet is better for your physical and mental health, and I am living proof of that. If we're going to accomplish this goal,
Starting point is 01:07:38 it must be accomplished by being honest. You cannot leave the third leading cause of climate change unacknowledged. And when you do a comparison, the numbers that food contributes compared to transportation, they are extremely close. It's almost a dead even. So we can't talk about cars we can't talk about buildings if we're not talking about the food that also contribute to this crisis okay so it's three legs of this stool and it's a stool like uh as in feces uh but there's three legs to this tool if you want to think of it uh they have to lock you down no transportation they have to take your food and where are they
Starting point is 01:08:27 going to lock you down oh you can't have a house i mean you know the housing and the building stuff that's that's bad we got to stop all that stuff too yeah where does it end well it ends when we say we've had enough but new york is i think jockeying to put themselves in position. Look, if we're all going to eat bugs, the best place that you could go to find cockroaches and bed bugs and all kinds of the new food is going to be in New York City. Yeah, they are the leader in all of this stuff. So get ready, open wide and take a bite. Yeah, that cockroach. Isn't that good? That's Nicolas Cage eating a cockroach on film for your entertainment.
Starting point is 01:09:11 But it's not entertaining anymore. In that movie, he was playing a vampire. These people are playing vampires as well. The people who want to drain us dry. If you can get rid of your fear, says Nicholas Cage, your phobia of eating insects, you could solve world starvation. High protein, no fat, excellent nutrients, abundance. They are everywhere, especially in New York City.
Starting point is 01:09:38 So, you know, they're just trying to get in on the, I guess, the ground floor. Rice, they tell us, is also awful. This came out of the AFP News Agency that tweeted out, I guess a ground floor rice. They tell us is also awful. This is, this came out of the AFP news agency that tweeted out rice is to blame for about 10% of global emissions of methane. That unicorn fart gas that for over two decades, I say has trapped about 80 times as much heat as that other unicorn fart carbon dioxide,
Starting point is 01:10:06 which plants need in order to grow. They grow, they take in the carbon dioxide, and they give us oxygen, just as God designed it. Scientists say that if the world wants to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, those unicorn farts, you've got to get rid of your rice as well. It cannot be ignored, they stressed. And so many people responded to that on Twitter. One person says banning rice would kill tens of millions of innocent people. I'm starting to think that this has never been about saving the planet.
Starting point is 01:10:36 Bingo! You're starting to get the idea because they've been saying for decades, as I said, you know, took the kids in 2001 to London. We went to the Children's Museum. They had this propaganda film on a loop. And, you know, the kids weren't watching it, but they're absorbing it because it's in the background. And it's telling them about Mother Earth, about Gaia, and how it is this living, sentient being that just came about by this wonderful accident of nature. And humans are killing it.
Starting point is 01:11:04 Humans are like a virus killing Gaia, mother nature. You see, this is where the pandemic and MacGuffin and the climate MacGuffin come together. You thought the pandemic was about getting rid of a virus or something that they made up. No, we are the virus. When you combine the pandemic MacGuffin and the climate MacGuffin, it is about getting rid of a virus, humanity, that they see as a virus. Removing rice or wheat from food production would trigger global famine. There's another person. You think they don't know that?
Starting point is 01:11:45 A Biden official says the pollution fell during the lockdowns, and that improved life quality. You see, the Biden administration, these globalists, think that the lockdowns improve the quality of life. Well, it did for them. People like Boris Johnson, people like Matt Hancock, they're doing whatever they want.
Starting point is 01:12:11 They're flying around the world still and they're having their parties still. And as we now see from the texts of Matt Hancock in the UK, they're laughing about the hardships that they're imposing on other people while they're doing all this stuff. Trudeau, Gavin Newsom, all these people. They just never changed their lifestyle whatsoever. Their quality of life was great. We were out of the way.
Starting point is 01:12:41 And so this is the Assistant Secretary for Oceans and International Environmental and Scientific Affairs at the Department of State. Is this not Exhibit A or maybe Exhibit Z? We've got so many exhibits. Is this not an example of our bloated bureaucracy? This person, interviewed by ABC News, the Assistant Secretary for Oceans and International Environmental and Scientific Affairs at the Department of State. Bureaucracy, inside of bureaucracy,
Starting point is 01:13:14 inside of bureaucracy, it's like a Madryoski doll. Remember those Russian dolls where they're stacked? You know, this is the bureaucracy that's there. Her name is Monica Medina, and she said a lot of people during the pandemic discovered a greater appreciation for the environment, quote, because they were at home. Yeah, starved of the environment. And when they went outside, they really appreciated how much they enjoyed
Starting point is 01:13:40 getting to be in the environment more days than they would if they would have been in the office except in australia where they beat the people who were out there on a beach by themselves they send helicopters and they send cops to engage these people who are not around any other living being just to to dominate them and to beat them into submission in fact we saw pollution levels go down and people went, huh, my quality of life is a little bit better now that I don't have to worry about whether it's a code red day for smog or air pollution.
Starting point is 01:14:12 So people did become more aware of that. Yes, I heard everybody saying, I just love these lockdowns. It's just wonderful for everything, isn't it? The UK airports will be closed within the next 10 years. Beef and lamb will be banned. And construction of new buildings will cease in the name of climate change, according to a government report. Now, the interesting thing about this is coming from the expose out of the UK.
Starting point is 01:14:37 They found a report that goes back to 2019. It was the cusp of the lockdown. And so at the same time that you got Fauci, who is talking about how they are going to disrupt our lives. You have to prove that this works. And then you've got to go through all of the clinical trials, phase ones, phase twos, phase three, and then show that this particular product is going to be good over a period of years. That alone, if it works perfectly, is going to take a decade. Why don't we blow the system up? I mean, obviously, we can't just turn off the spigot on the system we have and then say, hey, everyone in the world should get this new vaccine we haven't given to anyone yet. And it's going to be very difficult to change that unless you do it from
Starting point is 01:15:31 within and say, I don't care what your perception is. We're going to address the problem in a disruptive way and in an iterative way because you do need both. But you do it from the inside. We don't really care whether you agree with us or not we don't have to show you this stuff we're just going to tell you this is the way it is and we do it from the inside we do it with disruption and we iteratively increase it now they're saying that october 2019 and just in a few months from that they were going to fauci was going to deliver a study from the Imperial College of London to Trump, who said, I had two smart people tell me everybody's going to die if we didn't do this, right? So he delivers this Imperial College of London simulation, which is total crock.
Starting point is 01:16:17 And again, the model was wrong, the data was wrong, the implementation was wrong, data was wrong the implementation was wrong it was all wrong and uh from oxford university um who um and so this this report here that the expose got a hold of is from the imperial college of london and from oxford university who later did the astrazeneca vaccine and who is now taking the uh forefront there in the UK on this 15-minute city thing. And so the Imperial College of London that locked us down with a pandemic model is now doing this report in conjunction with the same people that did the AstraZeneca vaccine and are now doing the 15-minute city. And they're saying we're going to close all airports within the next 10 years except for Heathrow, Glasgow, and Belfast airports. All the rest of them are going to close.
Starting point is 01:17:12 And they'll be closed by 2029, because you've got to have their new utopian place by 2030. All remaining airports must then close between 2030 and 2049 as to meet the legal commitment of zero emissions from every citizen of the UK. We have to stop using airplanes, quote unquote. And we've got to do it for a significant period of time. You think they'll ever let them come back? And this has to be done, says the Conservative Party in power.
Starting point is 01:17:41 What is the Conservative Party of the UK trying to conserve? Our travel? Our homes? Our conserve? Our travel? Our homes? Our buildings? Our society? Our food? No, they're not trying to conserve any of that. Conservative Party says we have to do this in order to obey the law of the Climate Change Act.
Starting point is 01:17:58 The public will be required to stop doing anything that causes emissions regardless of its energy source. According to the report, this will require the public to never eat beef or lamb ever again. To do this, national consumption of beef and lamb will drop by 50% between 2020 and 2029. Then between 2030 and 2049, beef and lamb will be phased out. You do it disruptively, you do it from the inside, and you do it iteratively. That is the pattern. How many times are they going to do it to us in these different areas?
Starting point is 01:18:34 They also confirmed that construction new buildings must cease by 2050. Now, this is a report from 2019. You just heard Eric Adams. Well, we got the three things, you know, we got the transportation and we got the building. They got to stop. And then we got to stop your food too, right? The underlying point is that any asset which uses carbon, this is quoting from the report, will have essentially zero value in 2050. Putting up new buildings at a much faster rate for the next 30 years, well, we know
Starting point is 01:19:03 that construction must then halt. And again, this report was released in November 2019, one month after what Fauci was saying about how we're going to push this new regime on everybody. It was a collaboration between the universities of Cambridge, Oxford, Nottingham, Bath, and the Imperial College of London. The report is entitled Absolute Zero, and the authors reveal what the UK must do, just as we're told what we must do with the so-called pandemic.
Starting point is 01:19:37 The timeline of events may have spread up significantly since 2019 because the government has now enshrined a new target law in april 2021 to slash emissions by 78 percent by the year 2035 they were saying well we got to get it down by 50 by 2020 and then we're going to have to get rid of the remaining 50 over the next 20 years you know 2030 to 2050. well they're saying now they're going to get rid of 80% of them by 2035. When they put this stuff out and they start implementing it, and if we don't have any problem with it, they're going to start pulling this back.
Starting point is 01:20:14 And we've seen this over and over again with the car stuff, right? Well, we're going to start banning internal combustion engines in 2050, maybe 2045, maybe 2035, maybe by 20 whatever. So just wait for the lockdown emergency. This is why I say, you know, it's important for us to look at the presidential candidates where this stuff will roll out with a presumption of power. Do you think if Trump wins the election, do you think that he could be convinced to do an emergency lockdown for the climate? Do you think that RFK Jr., the man who 15 years ago, even 10 years ago, was saying that climate deniers were traitors and they needed to be locked up?
Starting point is 01:21:02 Do you think RFK Jr. would do a climate lockdown? Do you think Trump would do a climate lockdown? There's nothing that would indicate that DeSantis would do this. As a matter of fact, the way he's conducted himself, it looks like he would oppose it. But again, we don't know who the real DeSantis is until DeSantis gets elected to be president. And who gets to him at that point? The authors of the report state the key messages are as follows. This is quoting from the report. In addition to reducing our energy demand,
Starting point is 01:21:31 delivering zero emissions with today's technologies requires a phasing out of flying, of shipping, of lamb and beef, and of steel and cement. They literally want to take us back to the dark ages. And it will be a dark age. It'll be a dark age in every sense of the word. Anti-intellectual? No, science is what I say it is. Everything about this will be the dark ages. They want us scraping out a living somewhere, eating bugs.
Starting point is 01:22:05 Look at this. No flying, no shipping, no lamb, no out a living somewhere, eating bugs. I mean, look at this. No flying, no shipping, no lamb, no beef, no steel, no cement. Can you come up with something else to ban? That pretty much covers it. There are two key implications for how we live our lives. First, they said, building will become much more expensive. This is quoting from the report November 2019 by the British government. Oh, actually by these people who lied us into the last lockdown.
Starting point is 01:22:28 Buildings will become much more expensive because restrictions on buildings, which generate substantial scarcities. So this is, see, this is government and corporate and academia engineered scarcities to fleece us from everything. Just like they engineered the scarcity of energy. There's no scarcity of energy. They kept telling everybody, well, you know, this is it. After the OPEC oil embargo, there's only so much oil in the ground.
Starting point is 01:22:57 Remember the lyrics to the Power Power song we used to do. There's only so much oil in the ground. Sooner or later, there won't be none around. Alternate sources of power must be found because there's only so much oil on the ground. Sooner or later, there won't be none around. Alternate sources of power must be found because there's only so much oil on the ground. Can't cut loose without that juice. But they're not looking for any alternate sources of energy. They just want to shut us down. They don't want us cutting loose without, you know, they're going to take the juice from us and they're going to take the juice from us in terms of electricity as well. One of the first things they shut down was power plants. I had a friend who went to West Point.
Starting point is 01:23:31 He said, you know, we'd get together during breaks, and we'd talk about what I was studying in engineering and what he was studying. And so he had some engineering classes that he was taking at West Point. And he said, yeah, electrical engineering, we call that juice. That's our nickname for it, juice. Well, they cut off the juice. They cut off the oil.
Starting point is 01:23:49 They cut off the gas. They cut off the electric juice as well. Those who are starting secondary school now, they said, this is still from the report. Listen to how they calculate how they're going to do this. They're going to do this they're gonna do it through the schools and they said so those who are starting secondary school right now in 2019 will be 43 in 2050 i'll be dead by then i'm so happy about that um uh if if i'm not dead by, I probably won't know what's going on. It'd be 95.
Starting point is 01:24:26 Thinking about what education is appropriate for a different set of industries is a key question. Should we be training airplane pilots, aeronautical engineers? No, we don't want to have any planes, so let's not train anybody. As a matter of fact, let's institute a system where we denigrate achievement especially in math and science math and science are racist you don't want that you want to do gender studies you want to contemplate your navel or lower down um the they don't want any engineers they don't want any technology you know i was i was talking to some engineering friends of mine when I first started working at Texas Instruments,
Starting point is 01:25:07 and they went on a business trip, and they went to Washington, and they went to the Aerospace Museum. And they came back, and they were talking about it, and the guy had a really interesting observation. He said, you know, when I look at the history of planes at NASA, it struck me that really the history of flight is a history of engine development. I thought, yeah, that's pretty profound. Because if you can get a bigger engine to pull stuff faster through the air,
Starting point is 01:25:35 you do all kinds of things. You know what the history of flight through the 21st century has been? It's not about engineering. It's not about better engines. It's about government regulation. It's shut down. Think about it. Kicked off 2001, TSA, shutting everybody down. The history of flight in the 21st century has been a history of prohibition and of surveillance and of the security state. It's not about engineering anymore. It's not about moving people efficiently from place to place. It's not about
Starting point is 01:26:05 us. It's about them. They are at war with us, not just over our food, over our transportation, even over the buildings. They don't want anything built. They don't want any engineers who can build a plane. We'll just forget about that. We'll erase all that from history. You may be wondering how on
Starting point is 01:26:22 earth they're going to get the support of the public in shutting down the airports and stopping the consumption of beef and lamb writes the expose and of course they know as well and they've plotted this well how did they get everybody to lock down you know in the pandemic how'd they get everybody to wear masks on their face and take an untested genetic code injection how did they wind up doing that? I mean, I am still, you know, I spent this last weekend thinking about that. It's like, you know, how in the world could they get everybody to do it? I lived through it. I sat there, you know, just so upset to watch this thing unfold
Starting point is 01:27:02 and to get worse instead of better and everybody just going along with it. It was like being in some bizarre science fiction film where everybody's mind has been taken over. They buy into this herd mentality. And here we are three years later, and the people who let us in, whether you're talking about politicians or institutions or schools or churches or anything, many of these people pretty pretty much all that were leaders in all this, they're still in positions of influence and power.
Starting point is 01:27:30 We're still looking up to them. As a matter of fact, people are showering Trump with money. How in the world are they going to get us to give up our homes, our transportation, and our food? Well, it shouldn't be too hard. If we look at history, recent history, and as they point out in the expose, is it just a coincidence that four months after the release of this report
Starting point is 01:27:54 that the UK government brought in the Coronavirus Act? Is it a coincidence that the Imperial College of London was at the epicenter of both of these things? And is it a coincidence that the democrats and the globalists are making a hero out of trump over these baseless charges he's raised more money in the last month than he did in the previous three months combined it's accelerating so they said um when they look at this they said we've got to take a look at what our end date is.
Starting point is 01:28:28 And then we need to work backwards to see when we got to put these things in. It is so incredibly calculated. It's amazing. So they did all this stuff through fear, through psychological manipulation, through a coercion. And um, they talked about how they were going to do that with this as well they're going to use the exact same tactics to take our food to take our transportation and homes that they did to lock us down mask us up and inject us with the genetic code injection from the report the headline social norms and individual behavior this is what the imperial college of of London, the people who wrote this report in November 2019, say.
Starting point is 01:29:07 There is a misalignment, they said, between the scale of actions recommended by government, for example, energy conservation, and those commonly performed by individuals who are doing recycling and using paper straws instead of plastic straws, they said, but whilst the thought of society taking radical, meaningful steps to meeting zero emission targets could be criticized for being idealistic. In other words, what they're saying is we have this agenda and you may think that we've got no way that we're ever going to get this imposed. This is just an idealized thing about how we'd like to impose our dystopia. No, we have a plan for it. We can learn from historical cultural changes.
Starting point is 01:29:50 Not long ago, they said. And remember, we can also learn from what they did to us for the last three years. But this was written in November 2019. They said not long ago, smoking cigarettes was encouraged. And it was considered to be acceptable in public spaces and that children
Starting point is 01:30:09 frequented. You could have people smoking in those areas. So these types of behaviors about that and about other things, you know, discrimination based on sexual orientation, these behaviors now seem reprehensible, showing society is capable of acknowledging the negative consequences of certain behaviors and socially outlawing them. Focus should therefore be centered on expediting the evolution of new social norms with the confidence that change can happen. And that's what they did to us, isn't it? Now, let me tell you, there's no evolution involved in this. There's nothing organic about this.
Starting point is 01:30:53 This is not something that's happening. It's engineered, right? This is designed. You know, we talk about creation versus evolution. The evidence of design is there everywhere. In DNA, throughout the human body, throughout, you know, even when you look at their so-called unicorn farts of CO2. That's, I can see design in that. Yeah, the plants breathe it in, put out the oxygen that we need, and vice versa. It's a symbiotic relationship there. There's design everywhere. It's not mindless evolution.
Starting point is 01:31:30 And the way that they want to change society is by design, not by evolution. They want new social norms that they have designed and are going to impose. How are they going to do it? Well, they said evidence from behavioral science. I've said all through this. I said the only science that Fauci and these people have is behavioral science. Psychological manipulation. They said, evidence from behavioral science and a long experience in public health of changing behaviors around things like smoking and alcohol show that
Starting point is 01:31:56 information alone is not enough to change behavior. Messages framed around fear and climate change have not been found to be effective at motivating change either. We have to do this for a long period of time. We've got to get inside the minds of children at an early age to really make these fundamental changes. Language used to promote zero emissions should be a longer focus on eco-friendly in the green lexicon, but it should be candid descriptions of actions that appeal to human fulfillment.
Starting point is 01:32:32 Evidence from time use study shows that human fulfillment does not strictly depend on using energy. The activities that we enjoy the most are the ones with the lowest energy requirements, and consumers can be satisfied with a zero emissions landscape if we start doing this in the schools early enough. And that's the next part of this. You see, you have to tell people that in order to be considered, you know, what we value as society are people who do all these green activities, even though they won't call it green. It's soylent green, by the way. Even though they don't want to call it green, those labels are tired.
Starting point is 01:33:12 We've got to come up with some new terminology to disguise what we're doing to people. We have to understand that, you know, fear is not going to get us there that quickly. It's a long march through the institutions. It's a long march through society, which means it's going to be a long march through education. They said, starting with the difficult decisions, an educational setting should provide a timeline for actions to be taken by humanity in order to ensure that we hit our carbon reduction targets by 2050. By working backward from 2050, subsequently working out the order and the timing and which key mitigation actions need to be taken, we get a roadmap for the necessary restraints we have to impose, you see.
Starting point is 01:33:56 Again, just like with the pandemic MacGuffin, the climate MacGuffin, the only science is behavioral science, and they have carefully calculated that in the same way that they did their, you know, studies with their control groups and everything about their propaganda. And they had about a dozen different ways that they would lie to, you know, you have to do this because you have to be a good neighbor, right? You have to love your neighbor. Love your neighbor means that you don't have a car and you don't eat meat and you do, you know, you don't fly and you don't do this stuff.
Starting point is 01:34:25 Who wants to do that? You don't want to do that stuff. You don't want to get angry because we took that away from you. And so we have to figure out what we want to do and how we're going to push this. And they've been doing this for a long time, a long time. Look at how brainwashed the kids are about the environment. As brainwashed about that as they are about the gender stuff. And look at how quickly that has rolled through society. Across the secondary school system, they said this roadmap is essential for school children. This will enable an exploration of real change in the mindsets of those who will need to embrace change more than ever before later in their life. So get these people accustomed to it.
Starting point is 01:35:10 Wow, I really hate this. Remember the good old days when we didn't have to worry about this stuff? But, you know, we have to do it because there's this climate emergency. We have to do it because this COVID thing is going around. We're all going to die if we don't do it. We're all going to die if we don't do the climate stuff. So yeah, just turn over everything to these people. Stop eating. All the rest of this stuff.
Starting point is 01:35:29 Huge questions will emerge, such as, and this is coming from the report, huge questions such as, will internal combustion engines disappear? Will airplanes disappear? Will meat and dairy agriculture disappear? And will we need to stop building things? Well, the answer to all that is yes, yes, yes, yes. By empowering school children, they can embrace this change through education. No, they'll embrace it through indoctrination and brainwashing. It is at the point now that shutting down these schools is not just for the good of your child.
Starting point is 01:36:11 You know, as Alex Newman has always said, you've got to get your kid out of that burning building, but we've got to shut down that building before it burns society down. This is how they burn society down. They burn society down with this. They burn society down with their Marxist hatred and division, hatred of people based on their sex, based on their religion, based on their skin color. All of this hatred and prejudice that's being built into our kids,
Starting point is 01:36:35 all of this fear about climate, all of this unwarranted trust and obedience to government criminals conspiring to destroy us and our children and our society and history and everything, all civilization. So it's all about indoctrination. And it's frightening to think about how successful they've been at all this stuff. Just to recount, the expose has in this article here. Think about, can they do this? Can they really roll this thing out?
Starting point is 01:37:12 Just think what they've done over the past 16 months, I said. Lockdown after lockdown, which have destroyed small business in the aviation industry. Evidence emerges that suggests that the elderly and the vulnerable were euthanized in care homes. Yes. And in hospitals. Medical malpractice. Death by government democide. Financially incentivized democide.
Starting point is 01:37:36 You were told they died of COVID-19. Statistics show that disabled people account for three out of every five alleged COVID deaths. Uh-huh. Yeah. Why is that? Why is that? I asked that question in the beginning when they were giving us their phony stuff. I said, well, you know, it's all these elderly people, you know, dying.
Starting point is 01:37:54 I said, you're just real. You're just relabeling the actuarial tables. People who are at or beyond life expectancy who have multiple comorbidities, any of which could kill them. I said, you go back and you want to keep talking about the 1918 flu or whatever? Look at the demographics. It was equally spread out, every age group. This is not that.
Starting point is 01:38:17 And it's not, they didn't, you know, the 1918 flu or other epidemics did not focus on disabled people. But when they financially incentivized malpractice and death by government, it did focus on the disabled, didn't it? And an experimental vaccination program, which doesn't stop you from catching or spreading the alleged virus. However, authorities are extremely eager to vaccinate every man, woman, and child, despite the fact that over a million adverse reactions have been reported in the UK on their yellow card scheme and over 1,400 deaths. And that's just what they reported.
Starting point is 01:38:59 So again, this is from the expose. We're going to take a quick break and we'll be back. We have again at the, I don't want to talk a little bit about some of the implications of this. I also want to talk about what Elon Musk said about artificial intelligence with Tucker Carlson and what some of the people are saying about, you know, Sundar Pichai and his interview with Scott Paley of CBS.
Starting point is 01:39:25 So we've got a lot to cover in the next 20 minutes before our guest comes on, but we will be right back. Let me tell you, the David Knight Show you can listen to with your ears. You can even watch it by using your eyes. In fact, if you can hear me, that means you're listening to The David Knight Show right now. Yeah, good job. And you want to know something else? You can find all the links to everywhere to watch or listen to the show at thedavidknightshow.com. That's a website. All right.
Starting point is 01:40:18 And I want to thank some of the people that have sent us some checks this weekend. As a matter of fact, I don't know where it went. I had a sheet of the people whose checks we got last week, and I haven't thanked them, I think, yet. But I want to thank Clinton and Beth, Scott, David and Joan, Kevin and Kim, Aaron and Rob, Rob42. Thank you, all of you, for your kindness and for keeping this program going as a matter of fact one of the things in the news that I want to get to
Starting point is 01:40:49 is the SEC just authorized for a group to bring it up at the stockholders meeting what PayPal is doing to people in terms of banning people for political or religious speech, which is what they did to me four months after this program began. And so if it hadn't been for your support, this program would not be here. So I really do appreciate that. Thank you very much. Before we move on, though, this is an example of how these solutions,
Starting point is 01:41:21 they don't really care whether these solutions work. As a matter of fact, they're not designed to work. They're designed to fail. This is a business insider reporter who took a EV road trip. He said it was brutal. He did it during cold weather and he couldn't run the heater because even though he was going back and forth, did a round trip from Washington to New York or the other way around New York to Washington round trip. I forget which was,
Starting point is 01:41:47 but anyway, he's going back and forth with these two places during the winter, during an area in an area where there is a massive concentration of population. And you would think there would be charging stations everywhere. He's got range anxiety. Like he's driving over the plains of America. He said it was a brutal road trip, an electric vehicle forced to bundle up
Starting point is 01:42:12 instead of using the heater in his car to try to maximize his range. Quote, I'd be lying if I said I didn't curse these silly electric cars under my breath once or twice. Business insiders, Tim Levin drove a new Toyota BZ four X electric SUV from New York city to Washington and back. He discovered that he was forced to spend roughly a quarter of his time charging his electric vehicle, but it got even worse from there. And actually it was about a third of his time. Uh,
Starting point is 01:42:43 the, uh, trip would have taken, um, I thought, yeah, it is about a quarter of the time. The trip would have taken, I thought, yeah, it is about a quarter of the time. It increased it by 33%. It would have normally taken about nine hours. Again, if you look at it on the map, it's about an eight and a half hour drive
Starting point is 01:42:56 from New York to Washington, D.C., but it depends on where your starting point is in those two large cities. So yeah, I agree, about nine hours to drive it, round trip, driving time. But he spent three hours charging his battery. So you can look at this and say, well, a quarter of his time was spent charging the battery,
Starting point is 01:43:14 or you could say it increased the time of his trip by 33%. He said, I hit the road to New York on a chilly morning with 176 miles of range. When I went to turn on the heat, the indicated range plummeted to 125 miles, he said. Therefore, he had to make a decision. I'm either going to stay warm and charge twice, or I'm going to turn off the heat, given the effect that it has on the vehicle's battery life and range, and I'll have to deal with the cold. And so he chose the latter. And so even though he didn't use any heat on a cold day and wrapped himself up in blankets while
Starting point is 01:43:43 he's driving, and the only heat that he had was the heat on his steering wheel and his seat, no heat in the car. Forced austerity on us. Even doing that, it increased his travel time by 33%. So if he had, that's not really apples to apples comparison, is it? How long would it have taken him if he had actually had heat turned on in his car? He said, you don't always achieve that max charge rate due to the charger or due to the temperature of the battery, or in my case, the settings that were built into the vehicle itself.
Starting point is 01:44:17 During my trip, the car never got close to 100 kilowatts, leading to some excruciating charging times. So he said, in an apparent attempt to make light of the situation. Levin pointed out that one does not necessarily need to sit in their car and wait while their EV charges. You can do some sightseeing around the gas station. You know, that's always great, isn't it? That's our life, but it's going to get worse
Starting point is 01:44:42 because they're not going to have the grid to charge this. Not everybody can do this. You know, it'd have to be the essential people, you know, like Obama and Biden and their bureaucrats. The Pentagon is even getting worried about windmills now. It says offshore wind farms may threaten military readiness. Oh, well, it looks like it's a threat to whales but uh they said it's highly problematic due to their proximity to military training sites yeah nimby you know not in my backyard i guess this is not in my base y'all you know stay away um two large-scale projects
Starting point is 01:45:22 approved for development off the coast of new Jersey developed and owned by Danish company have triggered protests against the hundreds of people, uh, by hundreds of people on the New Jersey shore. Now they're joined by the military. And of course, as I pointed out before, RFK Jr. shut down a wind thing that was, you know, and the wealthy community that he lives in there. Uh, they shut that down when they were going to build it off the coast of hyannis port the dod found complicated compatibility challenges with wind turbines near navy and air force training well so i thought that climate change was our biggest thing and i thought that you know all this solar stuff and wind stuff was the thing
Starting point is 01:46:02 that was going to save us environmentalists are very angry after G7 leaves a gas loophole in the latest climate pledge. Now, think about this. The ministers decided that the war in Ukraine and the effects on oil and gas weren't breaking what was supposed to be a firm commitment of limiting their use of stuff for global warming. Now, what they are doing is they're looking at this and saying, as we force people into austerity with our shutdowns, we're not going to be able to do this for a while. We've got to back off and ease off a little bit here.
Starting point is 01:46:42 And I think maybe there's an opportunity for us. We ought to, if they're going to say, well, we've got to take your homes, we've got to take your transportation, we've got to take your food away from you because we're all going to die. Maybe we could start a peace movement to save the planet. How about that? Maybe we could start a peace movement that was all about the climate effects of war. And we could say, you know, look at the carbon footprint of the planes, the tanks, the missiles, and the bombs when they explode.
Starting point is 01:47:15 Maybe we should start treating explosions as emissions, you think? What if we were to do that? What if we came up with some numbers about that? Could we halt the surveillance state, for example, by talking about its energy footprint? Would they be open to that? What if we came up with some numbers about that? Could we halt the surveillance state, for example, by talking about its energy footprint? Would they be open to that? Well, of course they wouldn't because this is all fraudulent, absolutely fraudulent. Let's talk about Elon Musk and his AI stuff as he went on with Tucker Carlson, telling Tucker Carlson that he cares about the human race, unlike Larry Page and these other people at YouTube.
Starting point is 01:47:49 He said, Larry Page, co-founder, he said, we hung around and we would talk technology and stuff like that, and I realized that he wants to make himself a digital god. Tucker Carlson says, so you think this is real it is that it's conceivable that ai could take control and reach a point where you couldn't turn it off and it would be making decisions for people oh yeah absolutely says musk carlson absolutely oh no that's definitely the way things are headed for sure they're creating an illusion of power and control they want you to fear ai like they want you to fear climate change that makes you controllable and you need to understand that elon musk is not
Starting point is 01:48:41 a speciest he is a transhumanist he wants to be able to read the, our minds and implant things in them with his brain computer interface. And he has told us, and of course, um, I don't know why Tucker Carlson didn't ask him this question. Of course, you know, you don't want to offend a billionaire by the world's richest man or second richest man, depending on the stock market in a given. But why didn't he ask him about the fact? And he says, AI is going to destroy us.
Starting point is 01:49:11 And he has said in the past, we're going to have to become cyborgs in order to defeat AI. Elon Musk is a dyed-in-the-wool transhumanist, and he hides that from the conservatives, and people like Tucker Carlson don't want to call him out on it they want to pretend like he's on our side and he's going to help us no he's not he's on the side of Satan he even poses and a Baphomet I mean it was a Halloween costume but he liked it so much that he made it his profile picture for a long time. I think maybe he's moved on from his Baphomet obsession for the moment. Musk said, no, that's the way things are headed for sure.
Starting point is 01:49:50 I mean, things like, let's say, ChatGPT, which is based on GP4 from OpenAI. That's a company that I played a critical role in creating, unfortunately. And Carlson says, back when it was a nonprofit. See, Elon Musk is such a great guy. He just created OpenAI, not because he wanted to make more money. No, because he's a great guy. Musk said, yes. I mean, the reason OpenAI exists at all is that Larry Page and I used to be close friends.
Starting point is 01:50:21 And I would stay at his house in Palo Alto, and I'd talk to him late at night about AI safety. At least my perception was that Larry was not taking AI safety seriously enough. And Carlson says, well, what did he say about it? Well, he really seemed to be sort of wanting a sort of digital superintelligence, basically a digital god, if you will, as soon as possible. Carlson, he wanted that? Musk, oh yes. He made many public statements over the years.
Starting point is 01:50:49 The whole goal of Google is what's called AGI, artificial general intelligence or artificial super intelligence. I agree there's great potential for good, but there's also potential for bad. If you've got some radical new technology and you want to try to take a set of actions, maximize the probability it'll do good, minimize probability it will do bad things. Look, I've talked for years to Hugo de Garis, who's involved in this,
Starting point is 01:51:13 and he really does think that he's creating a godlike intelligence. He also thinks that Ray Kurzweil, who's become the chief scientist, brought in chief scientist at Google, thinks that Ray Kurzweil is either unbelievably naive or deliberately shutting down any concerns about how this could go wrong. So they all believe, Musk believes it, Hugo de Garis believe that it's going to be a super intelligence, a godlike intelligence. You have people like Ray Kurzweil who say, and that'll be a good thing, you know. And as I pointed out many times, Hugo de Garis
Starting point is 01:51:42 would go to meetings and go to always technical, scientific audience. And he would ask them the ethical question. If you knew that what you're doing is going to create a godlike intelligence that would destroy humanity, would you still do it? And he said the vast majority of people always said yes. And so he wrote about that extensively in his book called The Artilike Wars. The only time that didn't happen, and it really surprised him, was when he went to a Christian conference that I was speaking at. And he asked the audience, and they were overwhelmingly no. No. And he thought, that's really interesting. Yeah. That's where the resistance is going to come from. It's going to
Starting point is 01:52:22 come from you and me. And it's going to be God working through us. Well, if we don't do it, he'll find somebody else to do it. This is the time. So he says, Musk says, you know, it can't just be barreling forward, you know, and just hope for the best. And then at some point I said, you know, what about, we're going to make sure that humanity is okay here.
Starting point is 01:52:44 He laughs. And then he said, and then Larry Page called me a speciesist Carlson. He used that term. Must said, yes. And there were witnesses. I wasn't the only one there when he called me a speciesist. And so I was like, okay, that's it. Yes.
Starting point is 01:52:57 I'm a speciesist. Okay. You got me. What are you? Yeah. I'm fully speciesist. Okay. Busted.
Starting point is 01:53:04 So that was his last draw. And the time Google had acquired DeepMind or Google and DeepMind, Google and DeepMind together had about three quarters of all the AI talent in the world. They obviously had a lot of money and more computers than anybody else. We're in a unipolar world where there's one company that has close to monopoly on AI talent and computers like scale computing, and the person who's in charge doesn't seem to care about safety. Well, this is not good, said Elon Musk.
Starting point is 01:53:32 So then I thought, well, what's the furthest thing from Google would be a non-profit that is fully open, because Google was closed and it was for-profit, and that's why the open and open AI refers to open source. It says, we don't want to have, and I'm normally in favor of for-profit, but we don't want this to be a sort of profit-maximizing demon from hell that just never stops. And Carlson says, so you want species incentives here. Yes, we want pro-human to look for the future for humans because we're human. So that's what they're selling you.
Starting point is 01:54:09 That's what they're selling you. And then he goes on. Now, the bad guys at Google, they want some kind of a digital god. But then he goes on to talk about this, and he says, well, my AI project is going to seek to understand the nature of the universe. It's like, what are we talking about here? Are we going back to Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy? Hey, we're there. It's not just Brave New World and all these nice Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. The answer. The answer to what? The answer to life, the universe, everything. We'd really like an answer.
Starting point is 01:55:12 Something simple. We'll have to think about that. Return to this place in exactly seven and a half million years. Has it finished? No, no, there's more, there's more. They go back, what, seven and a half million years. Is it finished? No, no, there's more. There's more. They go back. What, seven and a half
Starting point is 01:55:28 million years later? That's right. They do. The answer to the ultimate question of life, the universe, and everything is 42. Yeah, that's what we're going to wind up with, right? And so they got to build another computer and let it go for another 10 million years or whatever to come up with a question, you know. But Elon Musk says that his AI project will seek to understand the nature of the universe. 42.
Starting point is 01:56:42 I'm going to start something which I call Truth GPT. Oh, that's original. Maybe he could rename Twitter truth social. Oh, wait, that's already taken. Isn't it funny how he's mimicking Trump in so many different ways? But, you know, he really can do the Messiah billionaire thing better than Trump can do. Can he? Everybody seems to fall for that.
Starting point is 01:57:05 Truth GPT. Now just call it, if you're going to talk about GPT, if you're going to talk about intelligence, artificial intelligence that hallucinates and all the rest of the stuff, call it lie GPT, or you could call it chat LGBT. I'm going to start something which I call truth GPT, a maximum truth seeking AI that tries to understand the nature of the universe and everything. And everything. Just call it deep thought or thought GPT. So, again, he's doing that as he's coming into his X app, which is going to be, you know, money processing and social media searching and artificial to all of this kind of one app to rule them all.
Starting point is 01:57:52 That means all of us, one app to rule all of us. The guy is not a big thinker, is he? Not a megalomaniac, is he? And then we have the 60 minutes thing with Google. And in that they made the strange claim that, uh, Google's AI chat bot, uh, had, uh, said that it was, uh, he said, uh, Sundar Pichai and Scott Paley, who was interviewing him, uh, for CVS on 60 minutes said, uh, well, you know, this thing is so amazing. We gave it a couple of prompts of a language, you know, Bangladeshi language, and it just taught itself just like that.
Starting point is 01:58:38 And so since that aired on Sunday, the topic was what they call emergent behavior. Something that is an unexpected behavior from AI that it was not taught to do. And so in the wake of that, you've got people who are in the field saying this is complete BS. Complete BS. Not only did Bard, their program, not learn a foreign language, it was never trained to know, but it didn't teach itself a new skill. The entire clip spurred AI researchers and experts to excoriate the news program's misleading framing.
Starting point is 01:59:15 I sure hope some journalist does a review of this whole 60-minute segment on Google Bard as a case study in how not to cover AI. Another person said, stop magical thinking and technology. It is not possible for AI to respond in Bengali unless the training data was contaminated with Bengali or is trained on a language that overlaps with Bengali, such as, and he gives the three or four examples. The reason why the claim on 60 minutes was so frustrating to these experts is because it ignores and manipulates the reality of what is going on.
Starting point is 01:59:49 When you teach these things, something, as I pointed out before, you know, how do you teach them to distinguish an apple from an orange? Well, they just show these things, you know, millions of pictures of apples and oranges in the same way that we start to learn what that is. And, um, And it learned. So how could it just spontaneously learn Bengali? They said a language is incredibly complex. It has subtle nuances.
Starting point is 02:00:14 It has rules that require an incredible degree of context to understand and communicate with it, which is kind of interesting. You know, I always thought about that. You have the anthropologists will tell you that you had kind of the spontaneous creation of all these different civilizations with their different cultures and their different languages. And they all came from what they call the cradle of civilization, which is right there around Babylon and, you know, or the Bible says the Tower of Babel was.
Starting point is 02:00:45 And they all just sprung up simultaneously. We don't know what happened. This is mass exodus of people with new cultures just sprung out of nowhere, they say. So I always thought about that. That's kind of interesting. Maybe there was a godlike intelligence behind that, you think? So anyway, they pointed out that BARD includes work from an early iteration of itself, this model,
Starting point is 02:01:09 that was called Palm. In 2022 demo, Google showed that Palm could communicate and respond to prompts in Bengali. You see, they're lying to you. It's a con game. They want you to fear their power. They want you to think of this technology as magic. As a matter of fact, it was Arthur C. Clarke
Starting point is 02:01:35 who wrote 2001 Space Odyssey. He had an interesting quote. He said, technology that is sufficiently advanced is indistinguishable from magic. If you don't understand how it works, it's like magic to you, right? And they want to keep that going, and they're deliberately doing that in the way that they're phrasing this. Musk does it.
Starting point is 02:01:55 Microsoft does it. These other people do it. So that's really what's going on. We're going to get our guest to join us here in a second. Before we go to break and connect with our guest, I just want to thank Conservative Thinker on Rumble. Thank you for the tip. He says, Undertaker here. That's his profession, Undertaker. He said, the only COVID-19 deaths that we picked up came from the hospital. There were zero from hospice care. There were zero
Starting point is 02:02:21 from nursing homes, and zero people died at home. They're all dying in the hospital. And that's why I've said for the longest time, it's financially incentivized medical malpractice or culling. Very clear. Can't have this safe, effective, cheap treatment. We're going to put you on a ventilator, which, you know, kills 89% of the people. Why?
Starting point is 02:02:43 Because it was incentivized by the Trump administration. $39,000 to put you on a ventilator, which you know, kills 89% of the people. Why? Because it was incentivized by the Trump administration, $39,000 to put you on that ventilator. And we can diagnose you as COVID with COVID just by looking at you. We don't even have to have one of these tests because there's not enough of them and they don't work. So the American hospital association criticizing social security when, uh, four or five months later, they said, uh, well, we need to see your tests in order to give you these bonuses of 20% for everything that you did to everybody plus the finder's fees for us.
Starting point is 02:03:11 Yeah, apparently there is no honor among thieves. We'll be right back. The common man. They created common core to dumb down our children. They created common past to track and control us. Their commons project to make sure the commoners own nothing and the communist future. They see the common man as simple, unsophisticated, ordinary. But each of us has worth and dignity created in the image of God. That is what we have in
Starting point is 02:03:55 common. That is what they want to take away. Their most powerful weapons are isolation, deception, intimidation. They desire to know everything about us while they hide everything from us. It's time to turn that around and expose what they want to hide. Please share the information and links you'll find at thedavidknightshow.com. Thank you for listening. Thank you for sharing. If you can't support us financially, please keep us in your prayers. TheDavidKnightShow.com Welcome back and joining us now is Dr. Mark Sherwood.
Starting point is 02:04:53 I said earlier, a gubernatorial candidate. That was in Oklahoma in 2022. He's not a candidate for office right now, but he has had a tremendous amount of experience in a lot of different areas. Born in Oklahoma, and he is a former Oklahoma state and regional bodybuilding champion, an ex-professional baseball player, 24-year retired veteran of the Tulsa Police Department, where he logged a decade of service on the SWAT team. And after looking at healthy ingredients, he and his wife, both of them doctors,
Starting point is 02:05:25 launched a response to the food shortage crisis. We've been talking about how they're trying to engineer that as well. And came up with a performance food, Kingdom Fuel, shelf stable for two years, covers nutritional requirements and all the rest of the stuff. But we also want to talk to him about school shootings because he's got a three-point safety plan about that based on his experience in law enforcement with a SWAT team and things like that. And also understanding what the problems are in the schools that have led us to this point.
Starting point is 02:05:56 So joining us now is Dr. Mark Sherwood. Thank you so much for joining us, sir. Hey, David. Thanks for having me. Honored to be with you today. Thank you. Let's talk a little bit about, let's start first with the school stuff. We've seen a lot of reaction here.
Starting point is 02:06:09 I'm in Tennessee, so we've watched what's happened in the wake of this. And of course, it has been now about three weeks or something, and there's a whole bunch of different manifestos from this person who shot the place up. We are not allowed to know what was going through their mind. Instead, they want to focus on the gun, and that's pretty much the sole exclusion of it. So the governor here has nodded towards doing some more gun restrictions on ordinary citizens.
Starting point is 02:06:39 They also have a program for making all schools more secure, bulletproof glass on the first floor, and securitizing the entrances to them. What do you think really needs to be done and what are the true problems? Well, I certainly think that it's a people problem. It's a heart problem. It's not really a gun problem. I mean, look back historically, you know, the first murder occurred with the rock and the greatest mass murders in the history of our great country have been with fertilizer and airplanes. So it's a unique process that we got to think about. We can't legislate evil, hatred, murder out of mankind. That's impossible. And that's what they're trying to do. Having said that,
Starting point is 02:07:21 previous career, you know, I was trained in response to school shootings. This is way back when, you know, go back to Columbine, Colorado and the one in Arkansas when they kind of began. And it was really inward anger turned outward to homicidal actions. And so it started a trend, if you will. And we have seen that trend continue. And really, when you look at it, you know, putting bulletproof glass up at schools is fine by me. I think that's wisdom. Why not? Good idea. But we've got to do more than that. You know, we have security at airports, you know, just as an example. Kids don't think twice about seeing that because it's a normal part of life
Starting point is 02:08:02 right now. And I don't like us living in a violent, increasing society, David, at all. But we've got to do something different. And I don't believe that taking guns away is going to solve the problem. I think that fortifying our schools and really creating this barrier for these people that are mentally ill so that they can at least pause for a moment. And they will. They'll pause if they get any resistance. We don't need to create more soft targets. That's right. That's right. And that's what they've done for the longest time with the schools. But you go back to the Columbine thing. And the narrative that came out of that, even in Christian circles, I remember, was, you know, look at the bullying that's going on with these people. And that was a part of it. But now the bullying has become an excuse for gender manipulation and grooming of kids
Starting point is 02:08:51 at a very young age. They don't seem to be able to get to the problem. And then the other leg of this is I talked to a lady earlier this week. It's a volunteer organization that collects SSRI stories. And these are antidepressants that have tremendous blowback. I'm sure you're familiar with it. And so we started mass medicating. We started turning the schools into kind of a police state, fortifying them and everything,
Starting point is 02:09:16 which, of course, you need to do to address the imminent problem. But you got to get to the foundation of it, don't you? And this mass medication, I think, is responsible for making it even worse as along with what is actually being taught to the kids in school and how they see themselves, I think. Well, the root cause of mental illness needs to be addressed. And just understand, and people need to know this, that we, I don't believe, you know, that God made us with antidepressant deficiencies. And you look at statistics right now and you see that depending on some databases, one in four Americans are on some sort of antidepressant. Not okay. We have over-prescribed,
Starting point is 02:09:59 over-diagnosed, and over-analyzed this to a point of ad nauseum. And it's almost foolishness, David, because like when you look at mental illness as a whole, I do believe that some people are unfortunately born with some sort of genetic mutation, chemical production deficiencies. That can happen. But not the norm, because we do genetics and we do genetics that really center around the mind of the neurotransmitters. So when you talk about these SSRIs, these selective serotonin response inhibitors, what they do is serotonin is a neurotransmitter that is produced mainly, and this is important, in the gut. So that tells you there's a gut-brain connection here. So the more poor our nutrition has became leading to a lack of available essential amino acids, fatty acids, vitamins and minerals, we inherently have a weakening of both our
Starting point is 02:10:54 immune system and our neurological production of these neuron systems. And what happens over time is you get these populations of people that are just deficient in the very basic things that are needed to create optimal life functionality. And when that happens, you get things like depression that's diagnosed. And frankly, you know, and just a broad brushstroke here, when we took God out of school, medicine, and government, and even some churches, you know, we have a problem. And what you have left over is a lack of an appreciation for the divine creation that we are. And we lose track of that. And then medicine becomes the savior, which it's never intended to be the savior. That's right. Yeah. We go back and we look at even things like Alzheimer's,
Starting point is 02:11:46 and you talk about the connection to food and nutrition, and of course it has to come through the gut. That's a big part of it as well. But even something like Alzheimer's, we've had some anecdotal evidence of some miraculous turnarounds in people's condition just by making sure they get the right kind of um you know oils things like coconut oil and stuff like that that that we don't get enough of or we get on to a low fat diet or something like that and so um there is a tremendous truth to the fact that a lot of
Starting point is 02:12:18 this stuff as the greeks said let food be your medicine they had the wisdom to understand how much nutrition and food help but of course that's all been pushed out in the current medical model that is driven by the pharmaceutical industry because they want to give you a pill. And if you're at school and you are fidgeting in your seat because you're the problem, so we're going to give you a pill to get you to calm down. So now we got everybody on Ritalin. We got them on Adderall and all the rest of these things because, you know, that is advantageous to the school. They never did that when I was in school, but it makes it easier for them. They don't have to discipline the kids. So just give them a pill and you can
Starting point is 02:12:54 kind of zone them out. And they don't really care what happens to us. We're just there to be managed throughout this whole system. And that's the key thing, denying the humanity of people, I think, as you just pointed out. So fortifying the schools, taking a look at what they're doing, any, I think it was a three-point plan. Did I miss the third point there? What else would you do? Yeah, I think just to really go one, two, three, you know, we first of all want to set up a heavily surveilled one-way in entrance. Obviously you'll have more than one way out that can be activated in emergencies, but one-way in heavily surveilled is important. Number two, you got to have a visible deterrent, like visible armed security. And that can be somebody staying there in a uniform, but it could be as innocuous as having a police car sitting out there out front just to give the visual deterrent
Starting point is 02:13:47 and to make the person pause. And number three, you've got to have training inside the schools and allow the discussion at least and allow perhaps the permission at least for some people to carry firearms inside the premises with a sign out there that says, beware, some persons inside this building may be armed. And that one, two, three approach is going to make even a mental person stop, think, analyze, and pause. This is not just about saving the lives of the people inside the building. Let's think about this. This is talking about saving the lives of the person that is mentally off right now. Yeah. And if you make them pause, man, that can give you potential for being a remedy and a savior here. That's right.
Starting point is 02:14:34 Yeah. One of the stories from SSRI net stories that SSR stories.net that I had covered years ago was a kid who was changed medication in some way. I mean, if you just change it a little bit, you up it or you decrease it or it's causing other issues. So you just stop it. Oh, you get a withdrawal symptom that causes some very strange things. And that's typically what triggers these things. But there's a kid who went to school. He had a rifle and he's pointing it at, he gets into the class. He points to the class. He points it at himself, points to the class, back and forth. Finally, they got it away from him.
Starting point is 02:15:07 Nobody was hurt. He had no recollection of that whatsoever. And so we have to do something. We have to understand what these causes are. But you're right. As I've said many times about these shootings, that, first of all, besides the time in terms of getting somebody know, we call people who rush into a building that are being shot at, we call them heroes. And we saw that in Tennessee. We didn't see it in Uvalde, Texas, of course.
Starting point is 02:15:33 But, you know, if you're going to run in there and risk your life to save other people, that's an action of heroism. But if you have a gun and you know how to use it and there's somebody there that is coming after you that's self-defense and it's a lot easier to get somebody that can defend themselves than it is to get somebody who's going to be a hero and defend other people besides the fact of the time where they're already on site and they would act because they're already in the room i think they would you know they would act to defend the other people who are there but um the real issue i think is is what is happening to the kids and And we've got to somehow figure out how we're going to stop the schools from being a manufacturing facility for monsters, because that's what's really happening in the schools, isn't it? Yeah, and it's super
Starting point is 02:16:16 sad, isn't it? Because we've all seen the regression of behaviors of children now adults we saw generation upon generation that now has lost the ability or the responsibility i i might perhaps better say of self-care of self-discipline and self-governance you know those things right there you mentioned heroes you know our heroes are the founding fathers that gave the very second amendment right that And that's pretty cool to think about that. That's right. Because they gave us that right. So we could maintain the ability to have free speech and free dialogue and free discussion like we're having today. But, but children these days, they are under attack, you know, they really are. And we need to understand that it's not just under attack from a physical standpoint. Oh, no, it's emotional and it's spiritual as well. And a lot of that is our fault because we have allowed excuse-laden behavior to become the paramount reason on why we can't behave.
Starting point is 02:17:18 And that's not okay. We've lowered the bar of excellence so bad, even across the bar of health, even with the crisis of obesity, the crisis of depression. You know, everybody's medicated. Everybody's over fat. And that's not OK. The excellence needs to come back. And we need to get more people involved in this area. community leaders, schools, you know, police departments, all involved together in a discussion to come up with the best game plan for those areas from a local and state level.
Starting point is 02:17:50 And therein, David, lies the answers. That's right. Yeah, if we don't have a target to shoot for, that's why I talk so many times, we have to understand what the problems are. But, you know, what I see that has changed about America is that we don't have models of things that we want to aspire to. We don't aspire to being an engineer. I was just covering a story coming out of the UK.
Starting point is 02:18:11 They were talking about in 2019 how they were going to shut down food, shut down travel, shut down construction. They said, do we need to train anybody to be an aerospace engineer? No, we don't. We don't want to have airplanes. So let's not train anybody in that. So they're going to take everybody ability to say, we want to aspire to this. Even as you pointed out, the founding fathers, these are people who were worthy of emulation and praise because they had power and they didn't seek to increase that power or to monopolize that power. They did just the opposite. They said, here, we don't, this is a dangerous thing. We want to make
Starting point is 02:19:03 sure that nobody is going to come along to hoard all of this stuff. And yet that's not what we have ruling us today. We have people who want to have centralized control of everything, monopoly of everything, the antithesis of the founding fathers. And so it begins with that and it goes to everything else. They've turned everything upside down. I think we've got to have a great model to look for, don't you? And that's the key thing, that we've got to put that, we've got to recover that and say,
Starting point is 02:19:28 these are our heroes, this is where we want to go as a society, upward and so forth. And that's what's missing, I think. There's no vision. The idea of the founding fathers was self-government, wasn't it? You know, it's like the people are the governors of the government. That's the way it should be. And we've got it so turned upside down. And my concern is today that even as we speak, we know there's these problems that we just talked about. We know there's some viable
Starting point is 02:19:55 common sense solutions. But even on the conservative side, David, we're still pushing and asking a federal politician to bring us to the rescue. And that is a tragic mistake because what we're doing in that is directly, and I say the word directly intentionally, because we're directly empowering them to do the very thing that we don't need to do, which is give them more power. It's got to get back to the person, you know, I'll use a line facetiously from the great philosopher of life, Michael Jackson, who talked about, you know, if you want to make a change, you start with the man or woman in the mirror. And that's where it's got to change. You know, I appreciate, you know, what medicine and government and uh and church whatever they've got you know to offer
Starting point is 02:20:48 for us i'm using church in quotes there you get it um i appreciate that but i need to live my life in a way that i don't need them and i'm not dependent upon them for my very existence that's right and and parents got to model that fathers need to model that leaders need to model that. And it's, it's a, um, a selfless way to live as opposed to selfish. And the, the battle going on right now is a battle for the, uh, the oldest battle in time. It's kind of the love of money, fame, power, versus the, um, humility of self-sacrifice.
Starting point is 02:21:25 That's right. Yeah. You know, it is, uh, you're, you're right about that. And some of the things that really disturbs me because we have now, uh, both the left and the right, and I'm not talking about just the political parties, but it's the people, the grassroots, all of them are looking for the dictator that's going to give them what they want. And so that's why it's really polarizing and why everybody is fighting so much
Starting point is 02:21:46 over who's going to be present. Even when I criticize the policies of any of these individuals, I always get this, well, then who do you want to be president? And it's like, you think that the president is going to solve all the problems for you? That's the problem. That's the problem right there. We we've met the enemy and they, as us,
Starting point is 02:22:02 as Pogo would say, because we want to have a dictator who's going to give us everything that we want let's talk before we get away from this um school stuff again let's talk about uh the safety training for teachers as you support as i support but a lot of teachers don't want this you know that that's i look at this and i and that's one indication of what has happened to these institutions there's been a long march to these institutions by the marxists Marxists and the progressives. And so now most of the people in these institutions, they don't want to have this. Talk a little bit about the pushback that you've seen from teachers against this idea
Starting point is 02:22:37 that they should even think about protecting themselves or kids. Well, there are a few things to consider. I mean, teachers, school workers, you can't really understand or want what you don't understand. You know, so perhaps there needs to be some education there. But we talk about school, the indoctrination that's happening with our kids. Let us not forget the indoctrination that's happening from the teachers within these higher education facilities. I mean, we're talking about a push for diversity, equity, inclusion, the DEI principles, you know, we're talking about a thought process that they come out of school and, you know, teachers are designed to teach young men and women how to become productive adults in this wonderful country. That's it.
Starting point is 02:23:27 They're not designed to give them a moral code. They're designed to give them an excellence bar, like you said, about these knowledge, skills, and ability to be good adults. And teachers have been indoctrinated with that too. So I go back again to if you have school boards that are controlled by parents, right? Parents do the hiring, et cetera. Parents do the representation of their schools and the school board needs to get on board with the staff and at least have open dialogue. If some of the staff doesn't want to do that fine understand it and understand the the the rules and parameters around the people that do and not everybody's going to agree in america that's the beauty of america is it yeah you know we can have a discussion like that not everybody has to carry a gun you can
Starting point is 02:24:18 um and we've got to get back to just sort of this common ground of of discussion without wanting to literally chop each other's heads off. Because I hear you when you make a critical statement, which can be used in one hand to promote good introspective thought and bring correction. No, no, we dig our heels in and we don't want that anymore. And in my life, I kind of like hearing it, but I appreciate it because it's allowed me to look at myself with a critical eye and go, well, you know what? Maybe I need to open my eyes in some areas. So I think people are capable if you give them an opportunity. That's right.
Starting point is 02:24:55 Yeah, we need to distinguish between people who are just going to be haters, you know, just want to criticize you. And as the Bible says, faithful are the wounds of a friend. You know, if this is constructive criticism, you need to listen to it. I mean, if this is just somebody just, you know, out there trying to tear people down, that's a very different thing. And you're right. It is. They can't want something that they don't know. And we really have lost that gun culture aspect of it.
Starting point is 02:25:19 And it's one of the things that you start seeing happening as we want to move into the prohibition of cars and private transportation. They're gradually pushing people away from it economically and in other areas because they know that if this isn't a common thing, that's a part of people's life. They won't understand how it's advantageous. And they were able to do that with guns, weren't they? Yes, they were. And the more and more and more we more we take individual decision-making out of our lives, the more those decisions are going to be transferred to these monarchical, moral-dominant, power-hungry people that are not leaders at all. They're dictators. It's a tyrannical mindset.
Starting point is 02:26:00 And anybody can fall into that. I can fall into that. You can fall into that. We've got to be very cautious of that. Uh, but at the same time, we must not as citizens of this great country and this great land, give up our ability to critically think and make critical decisions for our own lives. The way we prefer to live them.
Starting point is 02:26:19 Yeah, I agree. Yeah. I've said for the longest time, you know, if we don't have, um, freedom of education, we're not going to have free critical thinking. We're not going to have freedom of religion. We're not going to have any of that kind of stuff. And, uh, I know that, uh, back in the 19th century had people like RL Dabney who were saying, look, um, you can't, you can't divorce, uh, morality and education and worldview. You can't divorce that from education. That is the foundation of education. And when you take that out and you change how people have defined morality and things that are good and excellent that we want to have, when you change that and you make those things targets of derision and you want to destroy them, that's how we get to the place where we are.
Starting point is 02:27:02 But that is a particular worldview. That is, if you will, a religion that is being taught. And so if you don't have the right values, you're certainly not going to get to that. You're not going to get to that excellence. Let's talk a little bit though about the nutritional aspects of this, because I know that you're focused on this. Mental health issues that are secondary to nutrition. Uh, I can see that you are still super fit, uh, when you're, when you're doing this. So tell us a little bit about what you would suggest in terms of, uh, changing the way society is oriented, changing our food. Cause they don't want us to have any meat or dairy, uh, as well.
Starting point is 02:27:41 So, uh, tell us a little bit how we're going to, uh, uh, weather this, uh, when we've got people who want us eating bugs. Well, I go back and look at, uh, you know, president John F. Kennedy before he was assassinated, he was, he was big on, uh, fitness in schools, you know, and he was talking about, uh, you know, physically fit people are better producers within society because they've learned how to master one of the greatest things that we struggle with which is control of appetite and what we do with our physical bodies and how we speak and how we conduct ourselves when you took a look at lifestyle it is no argument standpoint that our health has rapidly declined over the last 50 years. It's declined in a coinciding time with the government getting involved in the food supply.
Starting point is 02:28:30 Remember the food pyramid and all that mess where they talk about now fat's bad and cholesterol causes heart disease. That is a myth that has been disproven. And to eat all these genetically modified, now altered soy, corn, and wheat products. At that point in time, you had this rapid declination of the health of America. You had depression go up, medication uses go up, GI function or dysfunction go up, etc., autoimmune conditions, Alzheimer's, you mentioned earlier, went up, heart disease went up, type 2 diabetes now is out of control. One in three children by the time they're 40 are predicted to be on medication.
Starting point is 02:29:11 One in two Americans now are insulin resistant and probably don't know it. And the idea behind this is that with this gut-brain axis that we talked about just a moment ago, serotonin and dopamine are two key neurotransmitters that we have to have to at least be content, right? To build value. And if you don't have those, and just a simple rule of thumb, if serotonin is bottomed out,
Starting point is 02:29:38 you don't produce that, you don't have it, you're going to be depressed and low. If dopamine is low, you're going to be having and low. If dopamine is low, you're going to be having a hard time staying focused. Again, a la ADHD, ADD. When both are low, you have no value, you have nothing that gives you hope anymore, and you're looking for anything, any action, any deed that can give you that last hurrah. And hence, you have this inward anger, inward anxiety turned outward into homicidal activity. And so the lifestyle piece, David, is critical to getting.
Starting point is 02:30:15 And we have, my wife and I and our clinic and staff have pushed hard for family wellness. I would like to see even physical fitness come back in the schools. Yeah. Oh yeah. Yeah. And it's amazing. You know, I think back, it's been 50 years since I was in high school, but, uh, you know, you go back and you look at pictures of the 1970s, look at people at the beach, look at
Starting point is 02:30:40 classmates. It's amazing to me to see how obese everyone has become because of this. And I know that a lot of this is the nutrition, but a lot of it is an activity. But it's the combination of all that stuff. And it is truly amazing the physical transformation that has happened in the last 50 years. It's astounding. And so we know what is happening. They're really attacking us mind, body, and spirit, aren't they?
Starting point is 02:31:04 And it's a calculated thing, I think. You know, it's just whether it's negligence or whether it's calculated, we know what is happening. And it's something that we're going to have to do something about it as a society or we're done, aren't we? We are. And someone coined the term fifth generational warfare. And that's exactly what it is. It's unique because it attacks the mind through this, you know, propaganda through cell phones, et cetera, you know, through television. You've got big pharma advertising through our airways. You know, you've got big pharma lobbying the government, controlling the politicians to do their bidding. You've got the border crisis, the opioid epidemic, the fentanyl epidemic now attacking kids. You've got economy being transferred to a communist society.
Starting point is 02:31:55 You've got food that's being outsourced and brought into our country under the label of American made. But it's not American made. It was just processed here. And so you've got all this stuff going on that has attacked us. And the long and short of it is if you get a population distracted by sickness, illness, and dependent upon medication, you get them where they can't think anymore. And to the point earlier, you get ultimate control of them. And we're seeing the lifespan for the last couple of years decline for the first time in decades.
Starting point is 02:32:33 But David, what you're seeing to expand is this thing called six span within the lifespan. It's a time at which we're very sick and beat down and on multiple medications. And that is just simply unnecessary for mankind. They need to be shown a different way. And I can't make anybody choose either salad over a bag of French fries. That's not the point because that's controlling. But they ought to be told the difference. They ought to be given the opportunity to make a bad decision and a good decision. And right now, good decisions are held back from us for the sake of profit. And you were talking earlier about how they have radically genetically modified things like soy and corn and all the rest of the stuff. They're now going to the next stage of this.
Starting point is 02:33:22 They're now talking about how we can feed you the vaccines. We can grow the mRNA inside the stuff. They're now going to the next stage of this. They're now talking about how we can feed you the vaccines. We can, you know, grow the mRNA inside the stuff. We can inject the cattle and the beef and that type of thing. You've got a product called Kingdom Fuel. And so I'm sure that you're looking at this. How are you going to, you know, people are scrambling around saying, you know, how are we going to make sure that our food supply is clean in this new attack on it? Because it's hard enough to get stuff that is going to be organic, truly organic. And now there's a whole nother level of contaminant that they're talking about putting in both meat and vegetables. So what do you do?
Starting point is 02:33:59 Yeah, we looked at that from a broad variety of angles. And we started working on that formula probably a year and a half to two years ago and sourcing materials was the most challenging thing i'd undertaken in several years including an election right so you know the uh materials in this we have an organic uh pea protein which has about 20 grams in the full serve which is pretty good we have organic greens and red so the phytonutrients from the greens and red plants, fruits and vegetables. Then we have soluble and insoluble fiber, which helps with satiety or filling of fullness. And then we also have an added spectrum of vitamins and minerals. So
Starting point is 02:34:40 this is representative of something you could live off of. We've had people do this. I didn't ask them to, but we've had people do it for a month before, you know, just to see if they could do it. And they did. And they improved their health in all sorts of different aspects. Lost excess fat, maintained and even gaining muscle tissue. The unique thing about this was we looked at it. We hear people's excuse all the time. Well, it's too expensive to eat healthy.
Starting point is 02:35:07 That's nonsense. The average lunch in America is about between $15 and $18, depending on what you get. And I'm talking Midwest prices. Kingdom Fuel, if you do the full serving of three scoops, is $5 per meal. Most that like ladies typically do two scoops and that's enough because it's so filling. And you can mix things with it if you want to. Like you could mix extra berries or nuts or seeds if you blend them and avocado, nut butters, etc. You can have all kinds of stuff.
Starting point is 02:35:39 Kids love it. Parents love it. It's cheap. It's easy. It's a great going out the door type of meal it's great for athletes and we did this with the heart of love i mean we made it for ourself and thought hey this is good for the world so do your shelf life save some money and we've got other stuff coming we've got something called kingdom candy which is okay it's going to be a replacement bar same kind of
Starting point is 02:36:04 concept and we're coming up with solutions i get tired of talking about all the problems i want which is okay. It's going to be a replacement bar, same kind of concept. And so we're coming up with solutions. I get tired of talking about all the problems. I want answers. That's right. And that's the thing, you know, people who look at this and look at the problems I was talking about earlier, you know, uh, here locally, uh, we've got some people who are saying, um, I'm really concerned about this cause I've got vaccine injured kids. We're not going to go to this next level. So what are we going to do to get some clean meat around here? You know,
Starting point is 02:36:24 so they start putting it together. A lot of times we start with things that not going to go to this next level. So what are we going to do to get some clean meat around here? You know, so they start putting it together. A lot of times we start with things that are going to help us. And then we say, well, you know, other people want this as well. That's the key part of rebuilding our society from the grassroots up. And a key part of that is going to be food
Starting point is 02:36:38 because they want to take away the food that we have. Um, very important to be able to do that. And of course, you're talking about price. I forget what city it was, but somebody, uh, they had like a Big Mac meal that was like $17. It's like, are you kidding me? Yeah, $70 for poison, right? Yeah, it's got the nutritional aspect of cardboard, except, as you point out, it's got some really bad stuff in it.
Starting point is 02:36:59 Yeah, and one thing I want people to understand about the genetic modified soy and these estrogenic products is those soy proteins, when they've been modified now, they hit on a estrogen receptor, meaning that they create more estrogen functionality in men and women. So what that does to our males over time, societally speaking, generationally speaking speaking it more feminizes them and so you take away the male seed you take away reproduction you slow the production and population growth and that gives you less people to have to control yeah so you know this is not just a bunch of coincidences and coincidences this is and i'm not a conspiracy theorist i just look at things from a critical eye and i say okay what does that mean good better and different look at the third side play the heavens advocate uh game with it if you will and um we have got to begin to learn to grow some seeds you know in our backyard yes learn to find local farmers
Starting point is 02:38:03 support them because they're they're out there all you gotta do is ask spread the word you know get kingdom people have that use that and find a way to create our own system an alternative system and get away from believing these yo-yos that are trying to be leaders they don't know what they're doing their agendas are way off yeah and we've got to create this alternate um societal cultural norm once again that's going to give us life i agree yeah especially you know from the standpoint of you know finding local farmers i mean the farmers are not getting paid very well in the system right doesn't serve them very well the the system is getting really wealthy we saw this with all the egg stuff you know the farmers in both the u.s and in the uk were saying hey you know they're they're not paying us anymore your your price is going through
Starting point is 02:38:54 the roof in the grocery store it's it's that system that's there so if we cut out the middle we go direct to the farmers and we start growing it ourselves uh that's going to make a world of difference but it's it's great uh talking to you and and to start growing it ourselves. That's going to make a world of difference. But it's great talking to you and to see that you've got some real solutions for health as well as for security. And thank you so much for what you're doing. Hopefully you won't. I know I've run for office in the past. I know that it's kind of a thankless task.
Starting point is 02:39:20 And so thank you for taking that on and trying uh, and trying to get out there to people. And I hope you don't give up on that either, but, uh, yeah, keep pushing on that. And, uh,
Starting point is 02:39:30 we certainly need people who have your background and your, uh, your wisdom in this. And, uh, you've got a very interesting background. Thank you so much for joining us. Uh,
Starting point is 02:39:38 before we go though, tell people about your website, where they can find a kingdom fuel. Well, I very much appreciate you having me, David. You've done a great job, and I'm honored to be here. People can go to Sherwood.tv, and all of our things are there. If they want Kingdom Fuel and other programs,
Starting point is 02:39:54 they can work with us remotely if they want to. And we have a lot of great stories, so people can go there, and that's just a central hub of connection. Great. So it's a kingdom.tv is that what you said sorry sherwood.tv.tv is in television sherwood.tv dr mark sherwood and his wife dr michelle sherwood thank you so much for joining us sir have a good day welcome thanks for having me all right folks we're going to be right back
Starting point is 02:40:22 stay with us. The Common Man. They created Common Core to dumb down our children. They created Common Past to track and control us. Their Commons Project to make sure the commoners own nothing. And the communist future. They see the common man as simple, unsophisticated, ordinary. But each of us has worth and dignity created in the image of God.
Starting point is 02:41:07 That is what we have in common. That is what they want to take away. Their most powerful weapons are isolation, deception, intimidation. They desire to know everything about us while they hide everything from us. It's time to turn that around and expose what they want to hire please share the information and links you'll find at thedavidknightshow.com thank you for listening thank you for sharing if you can't support us financially please keep us in your prayers the TheDavidKnightShow.com Let's talk a little bit about finances, about CBDC as well. I was surprised and disappointed to see that there is a House committee.
Starting point is 02:42:14 Of course, we're talking about the federal U.S. House. A House committee has published a draft bill that would call for the expiration of CBDC. Because, and I say surprised and disappointed because we had bob emmer who was the house majority whip he's the number three guy in the republican party and he was standing there with and many other people adamantly opposed to cbdc and yet now they are falling in line with the biden administration and the establishment system apparently apparently, the House Financial Services Committee has published a draft bill to regulate stable coins, but it also proposes a moratorium on stable coins backed by other cryptocurrencies until a study is conducted
Starting point is 02:42:56 and it requests a study on CBDCs. Now, maybe this will be a study that will say that doesn't serve our interest, but it appears to me at first glance that, um, they're looking at, you know, they're going to criticize stable coins. They're going to criticize crypto. And we have seen that because we know that in order for them to push the, uh, central bank digital currencies, they have to demonize and prohibit any competition because nobody in their right mind would want it.
Starting point is 02:43:30 And as people start to realize what this is, they're going to run from it as fast as they can. We've already seen that happening in Nigeria. So they understand their first thing you have to do is get rid of crypto. They've been very explicit about it. But there might be another way that they can get this. I imagine you've seen the news about Apple paying, you know, what is today a very high interest rate. It's 4.15%.
Starting point is 02:43:55 If you want to save with Apple. Now, of course, you're not going to be just saving with Apple. It's actually being run by Goldman Sachs. And Brian Chilhavy at Health Impact News has a great article there outlining why you might not want to do business with those people. Apple turns iPhone into ultimate tracking tool by offering banking services. Apple ID, will it become a national digital ID? Well, you know, it's kind of interesting because I've talked about how, you know, as part of the Snowden leaks, you had that one series of three slides talking about Apple
Starting point is 02:44:35 and the smartphones, the iPhone, and all that kind of stuff, being big brother. The NSA was laughing about it. They said, who would have thought in 1984, they'd show the Super Bowl commercial for the Mac in 1984. Who would have thought in 1984, this would be big brother. They show Steve jobs, smiling and holding up the iPhone. And the third slide is that the zombies and that the zombies would line up to pay for
Starting point is 02:44:55 it. And you see the big crowds at the Apple stores, they're paying for our own big brother. And, you know, Steve jobs had, didn't have the kind of relationship that bill Gates had with Washington. And, uh, bill Gates was always there to do business question was, you know, with, with Steve jobs, I always kind of felt like he kept it at arm's length and was really more interested in product development. Uh, maybe I'm wrong about that, but it is interesting to see when you saw some of the
Starting point is 02:45:25 other slides that were leaked as part of the Snowden leaks. When you look at the prism, it was data mining that was there. And it showed when the different companies joined the program, and the very first ones to join was Microsoft. And the one that was the last one to join was Apple. And they came in in 2012 after Steve Jobs was gone and Tim Cook was there. So when you look at this, using this as some kind of a national digital ID, I can imagine that he would be very much on board with that. And, you know, there's a lot of different ways that they can get us. As I've said before, you know, CBDC is perhaps the most direct method to get
Starting point is 02:46:10 both a digital ID as well as complete control, preventing us from activities and regulating what we get and so forth. That is the most direct path. But of course we can get there a number of ways, you know, You know, they're putting together these databases, these biometric databases in many different ways. And Apple has been at the forefront of this stuff with Apple Pay. You know, that was one of the first ones out there to let you pay by your phone. So if they can fold this in into the banking systems and understand all of these people,
Starting point is 02:46:41 whether you're talking about Microsoft or you're talking about Apple or you're talking about Musk, they all want to have a comprehensive app that is going to have at least a financial component to it for control. You know, Musk wants to get back to that. X was the company that he had that got folded into PayPal, and he wants that to come back as part of his Twitter and payment and all the rest of this app. So Apple said that they're going to offer 4.15% interest rates. When you stop and think about the fact that it is a tiny fraction of a percent now you typically get, a tiny fraction, not even typically a tenth of a percent. It's usually less than that. And it is absolutely criminal, the spread that has happened. I remember when they started talking about mortgage rates
Starting point is 02:47:29 getting around 5% said, well, this is the lowest it's been since 1965 or whatever. I went back and I looked. So what did they pay you when they're putting on home loans, you know, about five, five and a half percent home loans. What were they paying people on savings accounts? They're paying them about four and a half percent. So even though this looks phenomenally high, it's only because the banking industry has so impoverished us to the extent that they will charge people, you know, six or seven percent maybe for home loans.
Starting point is 02:48:01 I don't know where it is right now, but look at what they do with credit cards. You know, they're up around 15, 20%. They go even higher. If you get behind all of a sudden, they jack it up to, you know, really loan shark, 15, 20% is already a loan shark rate. And of course, all that stuff was swept aside. We had a string of programs when they, we had that big wave of inflation because of the shock to the energy system with OPEC, they said, well, inflation is so high, we've got to get rid of that usury cap, which would legally not allow people to charge more than 10%.
Starting point is 02:48:34 But there needs to be something there to keep the banks and the credit card companies from having this kind of spread where they pay you maybe, you know, one-tenth of a percent interest on your savings account, but they charge you 6% or more on your home loan and charge you 15% to 30% on your credit card, right? I mean, that is just criminal. You want to talk about loan sharking? You want to talk about organized crime? That's it right there.
Starting point is 02:49:10 And so, yeah, it's good compared to today, but it's not good compared to the 1960s because you still got a much bigger spread there, even with the best rate that is out there. Even Goldman Sachs right now, which is going to be the one operating this account for Apple, right now, Goldman Sachs only pays 3.9%. So Apple, I guess, is going to kick in the extra stuff to get up to 4.15%. So it sounds very attractive. Doesn't it? Yeah. Where do I put my money?
Starting point is 02:49:33 Do I put it in this? Well, um, as, um, they say in this article, whether, whether this is smart for consumers, depends on whether you're comfortable having your life ruined if somebody steals your iphone the wall street journal recently published an excellent report about how iphone thieves are draining people's bank accounts because a lot of times people will store their credit card information on apple pay you know there's some other apps that you can buy that if you trust them, you know, or download them for free, you trust them to keep your password
Starting point is 02:50:09 secret, they kind of read them and send them out to people. So people will get their phones stolen. They might have their credit card information on Apple Pay, and they can get at that. You know, just take the phone around and start buying stuff with it. Sometimes people put photographs of sensitive documents, things that have a passport information, driver's license information, other bank accounts, stuff. They'll take a picture of it, keep it on their iPhone.
Starting point is 02:50:35 Some people will write down their passwords on the notes app on the phone. This is the equivalent of what a goat tree was saying, you know, about the, uh, the railroad switching stations. It was like, well, you can go into the bungalow or the shack there where the control equipment is, and you'll see the password if they've even got one. You'll see the password that's written up there on the wall. That's the equivalent of that on your phone.
Starting point is 02:50:56 So when you look at this, it's a smart move, as he points out, for Goldman Sachs because so much money is being taken out of the banking system because people are concerned about that. And again, Goldman Sachs is one of the bigger banks. You might think that people would move it that there's a lot of people taking money out of the smaller banks, putting it into like Bank of America has had a windfall profit with this stuff. But overall, there's been a net loss of about $60 billion, they say, out of the banks. And so this would be one way for Goldman Sachs to get in there by partnering with Apple. Pam Martins of Wall Street on Parade and this article on healthimpact.com said, you might want to remember about Goldman Sachs, part of the criminal banking cartel with a history of dubious dealings going
Starting point is 02:51:46 all the way back to the Wall Street financial crash of 1929. And Matt Taibbi has done a great job of talking about the too-big-to-jail banks and banks like HSBC that's been convicted many, many times. But of course, it's not just HSBC. It's not just Goldman Sachs. It's also JP Morgan and Jamie Dimon and all the rest of these people. They've all got a long rap sheet, just like the pharmaceutical companies have got a long rap sheet. You go down all the different times that Johnson & Johnson has been, you know, had to pay billions of dollars in fines.
Starting point is 02:52:24 Same thing with these big banks as well matt taibbi when he was writing for the rolling stone magazine said goldman sachs is quote a great vampire squid wrapped around the face of humanity relentlessly jamming its blood funnel into anything that smells like money. That's pretty good at facehugger right there. Of all the things to offer through Goldman Sachs, Apple thinks that it's a swell idea to offer high yielding FDIC insured savings account, ultimately backstopped by the U.S. taxpayer if Goldman Sachs blows up, which it came close to doing in 2008. In an SEC filing on February the 24th, Goldman Sachs acknowledged that its credit card division is under federal investigation.
Starting point is 02:53:13 Hundreds of consumer complaints have been filed against the Goldman Sachs Apple credit card that they have been partnering with for quite some time. Among the hundreds of complaints filed with the Consumer Financial Protection Board, one example, a resident from Nevada, said, last year, Apple Credit Card pulled a hard inquiry on my credit and issued me an Apple Credit Card, but I did not request this credit card. So I contacted them about this matter and Apple credit card closed my account, stated to me that they noted my account was closed because they could not verify a
Starting point is 02:53:49 requested authorized or applied for this credit card. I believe this card was requested by so-and-so the store agent without my authorization. When I purchased a new iPhone, I believe this because the agent signed me up for several other offers that I did not request. So, um, you know, this person is complaining, trying to get this hard inquiry taken off of their credit report, dropping it down for when they want to use it. Uh, but the bottom line is they say that, um, once the savings account is set up, all future daily cash earned by the user will be automatically deposited into the account. And, of course, there's no limit on how much daily cash users can earn. Users can deposit additional funds into their savings account through a linked bank account. But if you're going to link that bank account to something that's connected to Goldman Sachs, you ought to think about that.
Starting point is 02:54:41 They have been a, because they're a global bank. They have also been the target of hackers in the past. So again, it is a, an enticement, but it is also another way. If you think about it, all of this wireless pay by phone and everything, uh, cashless society is what it's pushing us to. And Apple, just like Elon Musk, would like to be the epicenter of all of this. As a matter of fact, I said about the Bank of America, this headline from Zero Hedge, Bank of America jumps on blowout earnings
Starting point is 02:55:19 as the big banks are feasting on the corpse of small banks. And so massive transfer of money from the small banks, the medium-sized banks to Bank of America and J.P. Morgan. That's why it is essential the small banks start to understand the advantage of trying to get into an alternate system that is being shut down for them. But it's really hard to get them to understand it.
Starting point is 02:55:47 You know, like here in North Carolina, in Tennessee, you know, Senator nicely says, you know, when I talk to them about a public state bank, they don't understand. They don't see the pattern that happened in North Dakota. So we decided we'd start calling it the Tennessee reserve system. Maybe they would understand that, but it's something that's going to actually help them because they're being starved, especially now, of resources. So public pessimism, as I said before, is a record 69% of the public in this large survey from CNBC.
Starting point is 02:56:19 69% of them have negative views of the economy. They have pulled $60 billion out of the banking system, most of it from the small and medium-sized banks. And then you have this from the Bank of England saying cash will become less usable because the retailers there want to go with contactless pay. In other words, Apple Pay, that type of thing. They've already seen this pattern. It has worked very well in, what was it, Scandinavian country?
Starting point is 02:56:52 I think it was Norway that did this. They essentially have eliminated cash doing it because they have incentivized and actually made it impossible for people to spend it in a lot of the big stores. And so they come in and they say, well, you know, uh, you have to use this particular app. Uh, when I was talking to the, uh, Senate finance or commerce committee, uh, one of the guys there said, yeah, park the car in the, car and they wouldn't allow me to pay by cash. They wouldn't allow me to pay by credit card. I had to have a particular app and it had to be paid for on my phone. That's the way they're going to push us into a cashless society. And we have to
Starting point is 02:57:39 have the backbone and just each of us individually individually to say we're not going to go along with this but as we look at the cbdc and i've talked about how there was this major hit piece on the new york times about how look at crypto it's just destroying the planet and also on children's health defense fund uh the new york times uh hit piece on bitcoin is getting a lot of pushback on social media this is an article by a bombthrower.com you find it on zero hedge um and it is uh the hashtag was stop the presses and it's a movement that was brought on by that so if you can pull up uh this um uh this story there travis uh they of, uh, trees that have been cut down.
Starting point is 02:58:26 They show pictures of lumber yards and then they have captions on it. New York times murders, 60 million trees every year. You want to just focus on crypto mining and say that's going to destroy the environment. Well, we've got another thing for you here. Uh, another one says, um, got a picture of a paper mill and said, well, this is a paper mill, but it's more accurately described as a tree slaughterhouse, all uppercase New York times profits from the murder of trees, choosing to print a daily newspaper packed full of corporate advertisements and propaganda.
Starting point is 02:59:05 It is time to hashtag stop the presses. Uh, and, uh, I said 27 tree slaughterhouses, grind, pulp, and puree approximately 60 million trees each year.
Starting point is 02:59:19 Trees absorb CO2. So that's 60 million less all-natural carbon-capturing beings being butchered annually just to be defiled with agitprop. Read once and then unceremoniously disposed of thereafter. As a matter of fact, I had a friend who, you know, we didn't have much respect for the Raleigh newspaper back in the 1980s, to say the least. And he said that, you know, they would, they were calling people trying to market their newspaper.
Starting point is 02:59:49 And he said, yeah, they call me all the time. And I tell them, uh, no, thank you. I'm not a house breaking any pets at the moment. And he said to kind of stop and have to think about that. But it's like, yeah, that's the only use I have for your, your paper. The public has had enough. Left unchecked. America's newspaper industry could consume every tree on the planet by the year 2040. Make your voice heard.
Starting point is 03:00:13 Now, how about that, New York Times? How about a taste of your own medicine? The toilet paper of record, as Gerald Slinty calls it. Yeah, exactly. By the way, I mentioned Gerald. If you go to Trends Journal and look at the great Trends Journal that he got there, mention Knight and you'll get 10% off of that subscription. It's a great publication. Joe, we've got a problem. What? Who are you? night show dot com right so basically a mug is something that holds liquid right because
Starting point is 03:00:47 basically you can't hold coffee with your hands right i i'm it's scat and they but anyone tries to mug me i i'm be ready for it you you dog faced pony soldier they say the mug can help patriots drink coffee, then save the world. This could be bad for us. Save the world? But we owe the world. These people, they're supporting free speech with every mug they buy. Come on. These people, I tell you, will anyway.
Starting point is 03:01:26 You're listening to The David Knight Show.
