You're listening to The David Knight Show. As the clock strikes 13, it's Monday, the 1st of May, May Day. Year of Our Lord 2023, and in honor of May Day, we're going to have a clip of Solzhenitsyn. His essay, Live Not By Lines, that I've narrated. We're going to pull that in in the context of where we are right now.

Are we looking at a moment where a political savior has been born? I don't think so. I like a lot of the stuff that RFK Jr. has said. What was done on ABC News is an outrage and ought to be opposed. There's cancellation, censorship, the rest of the stuff. And remember, he not only wanted to censor, but to jail and kill people that he disagreed with on climate. So we're going to talk about where that is. And we have to understand, as we look at the Jeffrey Epstein files and the fact that we now have the current CIA director in there,

is it only a problem when it's somebody that we don't like? That they're hanging around with Jeffrey Epstein? Do we only care about character under those circumstances? We'll be right back. Well, we have a fauci admitting his orwellian mandates fueled anti-vaccine sentiments imagine that a big interview with new york times man i think almost paradoxically you had people who were on the fence about getting vaccinated thinking, why are they forcing me to do this? Yeah, that's what we were thinking. I wasn't on the fence.

I'd already made up my mind. As soon as they started talking about rushing this vaccine out, my mind was made up. My mind was made up on vaccines a long time ago. My mind was made up by something Fauci did back in 1986, where he gave the pharmaceutical companies, the only industry to have immunity against what they do, the pharmaceutical companies, never held to any product liability. Now, the left has said that about firearms people, and that's not true at all. Now now what they're talking about is that law that says look if they manufactured this and it you know if it's a gun and it blows up in your face

when you fire it well then they've got liability but if it is a gun that you use to kill people just like if it is a car or an suv that you use to kill people, then the Ford doesn't have any liability on that. Remington doesn't have any liability on that, even though the people that have taken them over the bankers that have taken them over in bankruptcy, uh, settled and set a precedent on that. They didn't have any liability. So, uh, when you look at this, the question is, yeah, why, why are they forcing me to do this?

He said that sometimes beautiful independent streak in our country becomes counterproductive. We don't do what we're told by unelected bureaucrats. I'm perfectly willing to listen to health opinions. I'm perfectly willing to listen to health opinions I'm perfectly willing to listen to my doctor's opinion but I have the final say so if I don't like what my doctor says I go to a different doctor ultimately it's a let's see how's the left put it uh my body my choice right no that only applies when you're killing babies doesn't apply when they say that there's a pandemic. As the daily mail notes, the percentage of kindergartners in America who have taken their required

immunizations, measles, mumps, rubella, the MMR shot that fell to 93% for the 2021-2022 school year. In light of all of this, isn't that amazing? Only 7% of the people bow out of that thing. And especially in light of all this.

It dropped to 2% below the recommended levels for herd immunity. Haven't heard that for a while, have we? Remember how herd immunity was all about it, and that's why they had to have the vaccine mandates and stuff? We got to get to 65% or 75% or 85%. It was a moving goalpost, right? That was one of the things that showed that it was nonsense. And then they just stopped talking about herd immunity

because you get herd immunity when you have real immunity. And you have real immunity when your body reacts to whatever it is that is out there, a disease. It doesn't necessarily, you don't get real immunity from the MMR shots. I reported over and over again through the years. Oh, we got a measles outbreak in New York. Oh, really? Unvaccinated people? Well, no, they were all vaccinated.

Patient zero was vaccinated two times. Oh, well, then I guess the vaccines are not conferring immunity. So if the vaccines are not conferring immunity, you can't have herd immunity. Although approximately 66% of U.S. children aged five months and up five months were up to date for childhood vaccines. They said in 2019,

that was where they were in 2019. That number has now declined from 66% to 49%. And that was in May of 2020. So people were not getting the shots then because they had everybody locked down. But now they said, this is coming from the Daily Mail, wringing their hands about all this stuff. Many experts believe the COVID shot requirement fueled vaccine hesitancy that had been brewing in the U.S. for decades

after we realized that they had no product liability. And that was the thing that Rand Paul, one of the things that Rand Paul came after Fauci for Dr. Fauci, you're going to create vaccine hesitancy. Good. It's the only good legacy. The only good thing from Fauci is that he's created vaccine hesitancy and distrust of government officials. In 2022, a review of vaccine mandates worldwide found that they could exacerbate cynicism and mistrust of the government. See, we're getting vaccinated against totalitarianism, and it's

necessary that you have to actually suffer from the disease before you can get immunity to it, right? But I think what we're seeing now is we'll find out if our society has a functioning immune system to totalitarianism or if we will succumb to it and die. It's just that simple. So what does it take to get herd immunity to dictators? Well, maybe it takes mandates. Two experiments in Germany and the USA found that a new COVID-19 vaccine mandate would likely energize anti-vaccination activism, reduce compliance with other public health measures, and decrease acceptance to future voluntary flu or chickenpox vaccines. Bingo.

I was saying that during the 2020 election. As I talked about how we'd been betrayed by Benedict Donald, people say, well, you better hope that Biden doesn't get in because he's going to mandate this stuff. And I said, well, you understand that that may be in the long term a much better situation for us because he'll push so hard. He'll create blowback. And that's exactly what has happened. That's exactly what these studies say.

A lot of times we see studies that are just common sense validating this stuff. So in Germany and the U S they said, well, you know, if you mandate this stuff, you're going to reduce compliance. You're going to increase anti-vaccine activism you're going to

have people look at these other mandates from the public health people like the mask and social distancing and lockdown all the rest of stuff and say none of this is real and that's exactly what did happen i said in 2020 that if trump were to get in, there would still be pressure. There would still be coercion, but it'd be more subtle and it'd be difficult, more difficult for people to see where it was coming from. It would run with the types of things that you saw Mike DeWine, the Republican governor in Ohio, putting out a vaccine lottery, Hey, you know, some lucky, uh, person's going to get a million dollars or four people or whatever it was.

And then a lot of unlucky people by the tens of thousands will be crippled or killed. You feel unlucky, punk? Go ahead. Make my day. You might be wondering how many shots are you going to have to take, right? The fair phrase, dirty airy. Yeah. Are you going to have to take right the fair phrase dirty airy yeah are you gonna have to take one shot two shot five shots six shots nine shots how many do i have in my 44 magnum pharmaceutical injection kit here yeah the cornell university found that mandates eroded public confidence in vaccines even further.

At this year's Cheltenham, glory rests in the lap of the gods. 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. NoviBet. More power to you.

Ma'am? Yeah, yeah, yeah. It was grand. Good. Good. Subject to coverage availability. Limitations and terms apply. See Vodafone.ie forward slash terms. Good. Good. Again, this is exactly what I was saying. I said I thought it would backfire. I said what we need and what we may be getting is herd defiance, herd defiance. So, um, the federal mandates have now largely been

struck down or rescinded amid multiple lawsuits. You see, that's the key. You don't take it and you fight back. And the people who fought back are winning now in lawsuits. They had no legitimate authority to demand this stuff. They don't have any legitimate authority to tell you where pinwheels on your head either. And so you don't obey them and you fight back every way that you can. Biden's order that all federal workers be vaccinated, having been blocked in court last month, while the Supreme Court issued a similar block on private workforce in early 2022. And the fall of 2021 Fauci repeatedly defended state and private industry mandates for masks and vaccinations.

He said, when you're in a public health crisis, sometimes unusual situations require unusual actions in this case's things like mandating, be they masks or vaccinations. Yeah, I'm not forcing anybody to do anything, right? I'm just making you an offer you can't refuse, right? Because if you refuse this, you're going to wind up with something worse than a horse head in your bed.

You're going to wind up with no job, nothing, right? Or take your life away. It's just an offer. It's just a recommendation. I'd suggest that you take my recommendation, right? That's what he was telling everybody. This cynical liar. Again, he has turned the Nuremberg defense upside down.

I didn't kill anybody, says Hitler, right? He'd been on the stand and been Fauci. It's just those subordinates. They did it. I just recommended they conquer that country. They were the ones who actually killed people. They were the ones who actually rounded people up and murdered them, right? I just suggested who the enemy might be.

So the top-down push to get people vaccinated reaffirmed millions of Americans' feelings that their personal autonomy was under threat and must be rejected wholeheartedly. This is the Daily Mail. Now listen how they couch this term. This bred widespread anti-vaccine sentiment, as many people believed cynically.

Now, why would they put that there? Did we cynically believe that the government was flexing its muscles to an authoritarian extent? No, we legitimately believed that. We didn't cynically believe that. We knew that was what was happening. But Daily Mail calls you a cynic if you see the reality of what the government was doing with these vaccine mandates they had no authority they

had no justification but listen this they uh continue on with this daily mail says um so people the concerns that people had these cynics out there that concerns like this, why would the government force the shots on the public if they failed to prevent infection? You stupid cynic. They were developed on such an accelerated timeline that there's no way they can be safe and effective. These people, they just hate authority. You know, these cynical people who hate authority and won't do as they're told.

And then finally, the Daily Mail gives another reason why we're cynics. Any effort by the government to sidestep individual liberty must be sinister. Well, yeah, it must be a violation of what government is for here in the United States. I don't know about the UK where they are. But the bottom line is the purpose of government is to protect our God-given liberties. And when a government becomes destructive of those God-given liberties, it is the right and the duty of the people to alter or abolish that government so yes the purpose of government is not to sidestep individual liberty any government that sidesteps individual liberty

yeah i mean just the terms that they use you're cynical oh they're just they're only sidestepping liberty they're just sidestepping it they're going to come back and endorse it at some point. Yeah, right. So they finally said vaccine mandates fed all those arguments, all those cynical arguments that they're authoritarian, that this thing isn't safe. They haven't had enough time to test it for anything. And because of it it they said you have

that smoldering anti-science no that's not daily mail but this is fauci he says because of all this at this year's cheltenham glory rests in the lap of the gods 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.

No, Fauci, you have unified a lot of people. There's now people on the left who are now talking about this. How did we get to this point? How did we get to this point where you just shut down people who question your quote-unquote science?

Science that can't be questioned is not science it's authoritarianism uh gary barnett talks about the compliant and the obedient he said they are freedom's cancer absolutely you know when we um huh uh obedience is the greatest refuge of the weak and the cowardly people well look at this look at these dancing idiots just just remember what we went through right look at the professional quality of this video we got dolly shots we We got drone shots. Look at this. This is highly choreographed. And look at the production values. We got dollies. We got booms. We got drones. We got all this stuff. Oh, this is just some local nurses that were doing this, right? You think that's really what that was?

Sometimes in order to clear the air, it's necessary to expose the real risk to our freedom. Instead of simply concentrating on the obvious evils that surround us, those obvious evils, of course, consist of the state government, criminal politicians, enforcers, and the police and military, corporate banking heads who actually control the government. Yes, these are bad people. Were they the ones who orchestrated and did this professional production? Look at this. Aerial shots, drone shots, we got dolly shots. Oh, we're getting down low here with this one.

I mean, this is all professionally done. These people who have so much time on their hands. Tyranny and totalitarian rule, that is Gary Barnett, or any rule over others for that matter, is based on the fact that most all rule is voluntarily accepted and usually embraced by the collective plebeian earth. Once any individual decides to be free, he is free because his mind and soul are free adversity is avoided at all costs masses are willingly choose to accept their own serfdom to supposedly gain false safety uh they said um he says this is again gary barnett he says most of all those who deliberately accept rule

expect everyone else to act in the same manner. Compliance, submission, obedience in the face of any governing system seeking rule is like a malignant cancer. It spreads throughout the population at large based on fear and cowardice, refusal to accept the truth to face any difficulty or to accept any personal responsibility for protecting your own life and liberty. And of course, this is part of the Second Amendment as well. We see this playing out here.

I also have an interview I did with Catherine Austin Fitz on Friday after this show about what is happening here in Tennessee. Half of the interview is about that the other half is about what is happening with uh money how they're trying to change the financial system what do we have to do to have personal financial uh or transactional freedom as well personal transactional freedom and um as opposed, you know, as opposed to, you know, personal financial freedom. Oh yeah. I got lots of money in the bank.

That type of thing. No, we're talking about personal transactional freedom to be able to buy what you want with whatever money you happen to have, because if their system goes through and you have successfully put money away, worked hard, saved your money and all the rest of this stuff, guess what? If their system goes through, you won't be allowed to spend it on whatever you want. So it really does come to, you got to have personal transactional freedom first, financial transactional freedom. So we talk about that as well as the second amendment, uh, because of what is happening here in Tennessee. Part of what is happening here in Tennessee are the big teachers unions who want to take away our freedom during the COVID lockdown, always there to take away your freedom.

Now they want to take away the freedom of people to protect themselves. And they don't want to assume any responsibility for protecting themselves. They don't want it at all. They demand that other people protect them. They demand it. Well, good luck with that. Good luck with that. They don't want to accept any personal responsibility for protecting

their own lives and liberty or that of the children in their classroom. No, that needs to be done by somebody else. I'm not going to have anything to do with that. Governments lie, politicians lie, fascists lie, the controlled media lies. What's worse, however, are those who remain silent in the face of war, murder, slaughter, torture, lockdowns, pedophilia, child trafficking, economic destruction. By this apathetic behavior, they allow the ruling class lies to stand. And worse, by their silence and their non-action, they sanction the horrors committed by the state in their name. Is it not apparent that the silence and indifference and the lack of a backbone are the core of our problems? It is easy to blame the accepted antagonists that we call government rulers and their enforcers.

It's easy to blame one side or the other in a country that is split down the middle, pathetically labeled as red or blue, black or white. It's easy to be lazy and cowardly in the face of adversity, but it is not easy to deal with the very extreme consequences of this lack of courage by those who have caused so much misery to others. You, each of you, are fully responsible for your own actions and your non-actions.

You cause your own enslavement by your cowardice and unwillingness to simply say no to these heinous government acts. And Gary Barnett ends up with a quote from Leo Tolstoy. Tolstoy says, in precisely the same way, the specialty of government is not to obey but to enforce obedience. This is one of the reasons why whenever you say, well, wait a minute, according to the Constitution, you are servants of the people, and they look at you and they laugh and go, get out of here. I mean, are you really that naive to think the government is servant of the people? No. They are there not to obey you but to force you to obey them.

And a government is only a government as long as it can make itself obeyed, says Tolstoy. Therefore, it always strives for that and will never willingly abandon its power. Let's take a look, listen to, this is the last essay that Solzhenitsyn did before he was arrested and expelled from the country. He'd been locked up in their gulags for quite some time, and he was still fighting the system. This is a 1974 essay by Alexander Solzhenitsyn. Think about how close we are to this Soviet totalitarianism. When we look at the tactics that are happening now, the critical race theory, the social justice, the intersectionality,

the transgenderism, all of this stuff is designed to make you live by lies. Oh, especially the transgender stuff. To make you bow down and accept what you know is not true. Good news is we're not helpless. You know, Solzhenitsyn lived in a country without any elections. Right? What do we do? You know, we could vote somebody and maybe we could get DeSantis and maybe we could get RFK Jr. and then everything would be fine, right?

No. Stop looking for saviors. Focus on the issues. There's good things that each of them have said about issues and there's really bad things that each of them have said about issues. You support them with the good stuff. You oppose them on the bad stuff. It's just that simple. It doesn't have to be, you know, you don't have to have somebody who is absolutely perfect.

That comes from a place where you want to have a savior in politics. Because you want to have a savior. He's got to be a sinless savior. So you excuse the things that he does that are wrong that you know are wrong if he's hanging out with jeffrey epstein i don't care if it's trump i don't care if it's rfk jr they can hang out with jeffrey epstein and it doesn't affect their character whatsoever there's no sign of anything wrong with them right they can lock us down they can call for us to be gagged and censored. But hey,

you know, I agree with them on this other issue and this other issue and this stuff. So I agree with them on most of the issues. So I'm just going to give him a pass or even worse. Blood clots can happen to anyone at any age. Be particularly vigilant if you are going into hospital, have active cancer or undergoing cancer treatment, are pregnant or just had a baby, are in a leg cast or had a lower limb injury, are taking the combined oral contraceptive pill or oral HRT. Ask your doctor for a blood clot risk assessment.

Bank of Ireland is regulated by the Central Bank of Ireland. I will come up with arguments to explain away his position. Now, they need to explain away their positions that are wrong. So, prison or the insane asylum for dissidents that was what was in sold in its time we have politicians and both parties who have called for this who are actually doing it we just have a. I don't think they've sentenced him yet, but the guy who put out memes Joking obviously joking about the election and of course the flip side was there as well you had Democrats who are saying hey, you know don't go vote on Tuesday vote the next day or something like that, right and

They didn't do anything to the liberal, but they did convict the conservative. Is he going to go to jail for that? They did not have the means for armed rebellion. They distrusted it in the Soviet Union. They saw there had been a path to power for the communists. That's an important thing to understand from Solzhenitsyn, right? He wasn't trying to lead an armed rebellion. No, he understood the real power is inside of us.

The will is where the power is. If you don't have the will to oppose these people unarmed, you probably will fade away, run away, even if you got a gun in your hand. His refusal to submit was based on one thing, the refusal to live by lies, the refuse to believe the lie, even if you have to outwardly comply. And this is a message really for our time. You know, those of us who trust in God, we have a stronger refuge, we have a confident hope, but this is going to be a battlefield

in which we're going to fight as well. Because we can't live by lies, we can't participate in these lies either. At one time, at one time, we dared not even whisper. But now we write and we read Samastat. And sometimes when we gather in the smoking room of the Science Institute, we complain frankly to one another.

What kind of tricks are they playing on us? Where are they dragging us? There's gratuitous boasting of cosmic achievements while poverty and destruction exist at home. Propping up remote, uncivilized regimes, fanning up civil war. And we recklessly fostered Mousy Tongue at our expense. And we shall be the ones sent to war against him, and we will have to go. Is there any way out?

They put anybody they want on trial. They put sane people in asylums. Always they. We are powerless. Things have almost reached rock bottom. A universal spiritual death has already touched all of us. And physical death will soon flare up and consume us and our children. But, as before, we still smile in a cowardly fashion and we mumble with our tongues tied. What else can we do to stop it? We haven't the strength. We've been so hopelessly dehumanized that for today's ration of food, we're willing to abandon all our principles, our souls, and the efforts of

our predecessors, as well as the opportunities for our descendants. Just don't disturb our fragile existence. We lack resolution, pride, enthusiasm. We don't even fear universal nuclear death, nor do we fear a third world war. Perhaps we can hide in the crevices. We just fear acts of civil courage. We're afraid to lag behind the herd, to take one step alone, and suddenly to find ourselves without white bread heating gas and a Moscow registration what was drummed into our ears at political courses we've now internalized live comfortably and all will be well ever

after you cannot escape your environment and social conditions existence determines consciousness what does it have to do with us? We can't do anything about it. But we can. We lie to ourselves to preserve our peace of mind. It's not they who should be blamed, but ourselves. One can object, but cannot imagine what to do. Gags have been stuffed into our mouths. Nobody wants to listen to us. Nobody asks our opinion.

How can we force them to listen to us? It is impossible to change their minds. It would be logical to vote them out of office. But there are no elections in our country. In the West, people resort to strikes and protest demonstrations. But we're too downtrodden and it's too horrifying for us. How can one suddenly renounce a job and take to the streets? Other fatal paths tested during the last century by our bitter Russian history are even less suitable for us. And truly, we do not need them.

Now that the axes have done their work and everything that was sown has sprouted, we can see that the young and presumptuous people who thought they would make our country just and happy through terror, bloody rebellion, and civil war, were themselves misled. No thanks, fathers of enlightenment. Now we know that infamous methods breed infamous results. Let our hands be clean. Is the circle closed? Is there really no way out? Is there only one thing left to do?

To wait without taking any action? Maybe something will happen by itself, but it never will happen as long as we daily acknowledge, extol, and strengthen, and do not sever ourselves from the most perceptible of its aspects. Lies. When violence intrudes into peaceful life, its face glows with self-confidence as if it were carrying a banner and shouting I am violence! Run away! Make way for me! I will crush you! But violence quickly grows old After only a few years

It loses confidence in itself And in order to maintain a respectable face It summons falsehood As its ally Since violence can conceal itself With nothing except lies And the lies can be maintained only by violence. Violence does not lay its paw on every shoulder, every day.

It demands from us only obedience to lies and daily participation in lies. And this submissiveness is the crux of the matter. The simplest and most accessible key to our self-neglected liberation is this. Personal non-participation in lies. Though lies may conceal everything, though lies may control everything, we should be obstinate about this one small point. Let them be in control but without any help from any of us this opens a breach in the imaginary encirclement caused by our

inaction it's the easiest thing for us to do and the most destructive for the lives because when people renounce lies it cuts short their existence. Like a virus, they can survive only in a living organism. Let us admit it. We have not matured enough to march into the squares and shout the truth out loud or to express aloud what we think. It's dangerous. But let us refuse to say what we do not think. This is our path, the easiest and the most accessible one, which allows for our inherent, well-rooted cowardice. And it's much easier, it's shocking even to say this, than the sort of civil disobedience that Gandhi advocated.

Our path is to not give conscious support to lies about anything at all. And once we realize where the perimeters of falsehood are, everyone sees them in their own way. Our path is to walk away from this gangrenous boundary. If we did not paste together the dead bones and the scales of ideology, if we did not sew together rotten rags, we would be astonished how quickly the lies would be rendered helpless and would subside. That which should be naked would then really appear naked before the whole world. So in our timidity, let us each make a choice. Whether to remain consciously a servant of falsehood,

of course, it is not out of inclination, but to feed one's family that one raises one's children in the spirit of lies. Or to shrug off the lies and become an honest man, worthy of respect from one's children and contemporaries. And from that day onward, he will not sign, write, or print in any way a single phrase which in his opinion distorts the truth.

From that day onward, he will utter such a phrase neither in private conversation nor in public, neither on his own behalf nor at the prompting of someone else, neither in the role of agitator, teacher, educator, nor as actor. From that day onward, he will not depict, foster, or broadcast a single idea in which you can see a distortion of the truth, whether it be in painting, sculpture, photography, technical science, or music. From that day onward, he will not cite out of context, either orally or in writing, a single quotation to please someone, to feather his own nest, to achieve success in his work, if he does not completely share the idea which is quoted, or if it does not accurately

reflect the matter at issue. From that day onward, he will not allow himself to be compelled to attend demonstrations and meetings if they're contrary to his desire, and from that day onward will immediately walk out of a meeting, session, lecture, performance, or film if he hears a speaker tell lies or purvey ideological nonsense or shameless propaganda. From that day onward, he will not subscribe to or buy a newspaper or magazine in which information is distorted and primary facts are concealed. I've not enumerated, of course, all possible and necessary ways of avoiding lies. But whoever begins to cleanse himself will easily apply the cleansing pattern to other cases. It will not be the same for everybody at first.

Some will lose jobs, but there are no loopholes for anyone who wants to be honest. On any given day, any one of us, even those securely working in technical sciences, will be confronted with at least one of the above choices either truth or falsehood towards spiritual independence or towards spiritual servitude and he who is not sufficiently courageous to defend his soul don't let him be proud of his progressive views and don't let him boast that he's a university professor, or a people's artist, or a distinguished figure, or a general, let him say to himself, I am part of the herd and a coward. It's all the same to me, as long as I'm fed and kept warm. Even this path, the most moderate of all paths of resistance, would not be easy for those who have become too set in our ways

but it would be far easier than a hunger strike or self-immolation the flames would not touch your body your eye would not burst from the heat and your family should always be able to get black bread and fresh water has not the great european nation czechoslovakia betrayed and deceived by us? Demonstrated how even an armorless breast, if it holds a worthy heart, can stand up to the onslaught of tanks? This would not be an easy path, but the easiest of all possible ones. Not an easy path, but there are people among us, dozens of them, who have been observing all of these conditions for years and who live by the truth. Therefore, you will not be the first to take this path.

You will join others. It will be easier and shorter if we embark on it in great and friendly numbers. If we are in the thousands, it will not be possible for them to do anything to anyone. If we are in the thousands, it will not be possible for them to do anything to anyone. If we are in the tens of thousands, we will not recognize our own country. But if we're too frightened, then we should stop complaining that we're being suffocated. We're doing this to ourselves. If we bow down even further and wait longer, our brothers, the biologists,

may then help to bring near the day when our thoughts can be read and our genes restructured. If we're too frightened to do anything, then we're hopeless and worthless people, and the lines of Pushkin fit us well. What used to the herds the gifts of freedom? The scourge and a yoke with tinkling bells? This is their heritage, bequeathed to every generation. Live Not by Lies, Alexander Solzhenitsyn. Written in Moscow, the 12th of February, 1974. Thank you.

Have the things that we've gone through over the last couple of years, I recorded that in 2021, are the things that we've been put through over the last couple of years, has it given us an immunity to herd mentality,

to the fear of being cattle? It was interesting, some of the things that you may have picked up in there. It says we have gags stuffed into our mouths. I wonder if Solzhenitsyn ever thought that that would happen worldwide, especially here in the U.S. It says there's no elections in our country, right? If the elections are corrupt and they are terribly corrupt hopelessly corrupt is that a cause for despair well we're not happy about it

but we don't have to be defeated by that he said um we should stop complaining they were being suffocated right with these gags that are stuffed into our mouths. And I thought it was interesting as he said, well, you know, our friends, the biological scientists will figure out, if we don't do anything, they'll figure out how to read our thoughts and to alter our genes. Boy, isn't that where we are today that was 1974 almost 50 years ago you know walking out of this stuff walking we have disney pushing these lies to our kids lies about gender lies about the uh racist marxism you know proud family and all the rest of this stuff. And we can't turn that off. We can't stop funding that.

I've walked out of movies. I'll tell you one of them that I walked out of that really made me angry was Warren Beatty's Reds. That was pure communist Marxist propaganda. And Karen and I walked out of that thing. We were in college when we went to see it. And I demanded and got my money back. It's like, I didn't pay for, you know, I spend money to be propagandized or some communist propaganda.

I don't know. I don't know. I mean, it just like go away, go away. You're going to hurt sales for the next show here. But, uh, no, I mean, we walk out of films like that. Somebody asked me on saturday i did nights of the storm with jason barker angry tiger i really do appreciate what they do and um you know we had asked me anything and they had somebody asked me you know what all the movies that you've watched how do you think they've affected you and i I said, well, I don't really feel like I've been affected that much.

And I thought about it more over the weekend. I thought, you know, probably I've been affected more than I realize. Right? That's the subtlety of it. I mean, I've rejected their politics. I've rejected their sexuality. But there are still certain things that are there. I mean, for the longest time

uh one of my favorite movies was and still is actually the man who shot liberty valence but i think there was a subliminal message there even though john wayne and jimmy stewart were hardcore conservatives god and country guys i think the there was a subversive element to that Liberty. They call the guy, the bad guy was Liberty. Right. And I started thinking about that as I was there by you all their, their initial reaction was, well, you don't want the wild west and the wild west to so many people is Liberty and to so many on the left, they hate that idea.

So we don't want the wild west was I do. I do. Uh, you know, the wild west was not nearly as dangerous as Chicago on a weekend or during the week even, but, uh, no, the violence was confined to, uh, vigilantes and gunfighters and robbers and things like that. And, uh, as the James gang found out when they tried to rob that town in Minnesota, an armed population can shoot back, right? That was a disaster for them.

They went into that little town and everybody was armed and started shooting back at them. No, the Wild West was about freedom. And so when you go back to the man who shot Liberty Valance, was that really the message there? Liberty Balance? Is that what they were trying to tell us? You know, we're going to get rid of freedom. We're going to bring in the law and civilize things.

And people aren't going to be able to carry guns and things like that. Was that really the message there i don't know i mean you think of it yourself i i started thinking that maybe i was had with that stuff so i don't know how the movies have affected me and the propaganda has affected me i know that what you want to do though is you want to drive out that by focusing on what is good what is pure what is right and righteous that is the antidote to wherever you've been that renewing of your mind and you can do that it doesn't matter how many movies you've watched it doesn't matter what kind of life you've had in the past you can renew renew your mind. You can turn from that.

And so that was what I was thinking. But is it hyperbole to say that we're like the Soviet Union? Take a look at this. What happened with the FBI and a couple of pilots? WE BEGIN WITH BREAKING NEWS THAT THE WBZ I TEAM REPORTED FIRST ON CBS NEWS BOSTON. FBI AGENTS BARGING INTO THE WRONG ROOM AT THE REVERE HOTEL IN BOSTON DURING WHAT IT SAYS WAS A TRAINING EXERCISE. AN UNSUSPECTING AIRLINE PILOT WAS INSIDE THAT ROOM AND WAS HAND TO THE FIREARM BEFORE AGENTS FINALLY REALIZED THE MISTAKE. WBZ CHIEF INVESTIGATOR SHERYL FIANDACA BROKE THIS

STORY THAT YOU SAW FIRST HERE ON WBZ AND HAS THE LATEST ON THIS MAJOR MIX UP. YOU SWIMMED BY THE REVERE HOTEL, TWO DELTA PILOTS HAD PEOPLE CLAIMING TO BE FBI AGENTS BARGE INTO THEIR ROOM AND HANDCUFF THEM TO THE

BATHROOM. IT PLAYED OUT LIKE A SCENE OUT OF A MOVIE. FBI AGENTS WORKING WITH THE THE FIREARM. THE FIREARM WAS A HOTEL. THE FIREARM WAS A HOTEL. IT PLAYED OUT LIKE A SCENE OUT OF A MOVIE. FBI AGENTS WORKING WITH THE DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE BARGED INTO A ROOM ON THE 15th FLOOR OF THE REVERE HOTEL ON STEWART

STREET IN BOSTON. THE FBI SAYS IT HAPPENED JUST BEFORE MIDNIGHT ON WEDNESDAY. AGENTS BANGED ON THE DOOR TO ROOM 1505. INSIDE WAS A SLEEPING DELTA AIRLINES PILOT WHO WAS A GUEST inside was a sleeping Delta Airlines pilot who was a guest at the hotel. He opened the door and sources say agents barged in, handcuffed and interrogated the pilot for more than 45 minutes and put him in the shower. Nearly an hour later, sources say they realized their mistake, took the cuffs off and released him. THE FIREFIGHTERS WERE TAKING A LOOK AT THE FIREFIGHTERS AND THEY SAW THAT THE FIREFIGHTERS WERE TAKING A PULSE OFF AND

RELEASED HIM. THE FBI SAYS AGENTS WERE CONDUCTING A TRAINING OPERATION AND A MOCK INTERROGATION TO SIMULATE WHAT A DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE EMPLOYEE DEPLOYED OVERSEAS COULD ENCOUNTER.

THE PILOT NOTIFIED HOTEL SECURITY WHO CALLED BOSTON POLICE. THE I-TEAM OBTAINED THE BOSTONITAL AND RELEASED TO THE HOSPITAL. THE PILOT'S FACEBOOK PAGE SHOWS RESPONDING OFFICERS WEARING BODY CAMERAS WERE TOLD LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENTS WERE IN FACT

TRAINING IN THE BUILDING. COULD YOU SEND ME EMS? EMS WAS CALLED TO EVALUATE THE PILOT WHO REFUSED TREATMENT. THE I-TEAM SPOKE TO THAT PILOT BY PHONE WHO TOLD US HE COULDN'T TALK ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED. WE REACHED OUT TO THE FBI WHO TOLD US IN A STATEMENT BASED ON told us in a statement based on inaccurate information, they were mistakenly sent to the wrong room and detained an individual, not the intended role player.

Thankfully, nobody was injured. Yeah. Based on that, it wasn't our mistake. Somebody else made a mistake. They gave us inaccurate information. Look,

I've talked for the longest time about Brazil, which is Terry Gilliam's kind of twisted, dark comedy version of 1984. How does that begin? It begins with a mistaken identity. We're looking for Tuttle, Buttle, whatever. I don't know. They break into this guy's home. It was totally over the top in 1984,

but now it has become commonplace. They said this is to train an agent as to what they might encounter overseas. Give me a break. This happens all the time in America. We have become what we are told we're fighting. Are you going to face this overseas? No, you're going to face this in America if we don't get control of our government.

It is completely out of control. The federal government has become the feral government. It's reverted back to being wild. It has absolutely no checks or controls on it. They don't have to do anything about that. And again, isn't it interesting that this happened at the Revere hotel in Boston named after Paul Revere. Forget about the British coming.

The FBI is coming. The FBI is coming and The FBI is coming. And they're going to break into your hotel room and torture you because, you know, that's what they trained to do. Jack booted thugs, bureaucrats out of control, the federal bureaucrats of instigation,

the FBI, where is the authority in the Constitution for them? The authority for the government comes from the Constitution. The Constitution is the king. They are merely stewards who have pledged to subordinate themselves to that higher authority, to that higher king, the law. Lex Rex is the way the founders put it. And when they disobey that authority, when they violate that stewardship,

they violate that oath, they have a lot of power. They still have a lot of power. But we understand them for what they are. Usurpers, dictators, tyrants. And that is where we are we are no different than the world that silza nitson was in and it's important that we understand that one of the other things that solzhenitsyn said in there that really stuck out to me he says if, if we fight this, we will be the honest man who has shrugged off lies worthy of respect from peers and children in the future. Made me think of Jason Barker, who shrugged off these lies. He not only refused to do it and fought it now he's going to be retiring in about a week or so

he did not lose everything some people did and yet he refused even if he was going to lose everything he refused to live by those lies and god has honored that and i think people will honor that i've got more to say about that as well as some questions that they gave me that came in towards the end that we didn't have time to talk about on nights of the storm. You can see that, um, that program on nights of the storm.

And, we're going to take a break, but I wanted to get to some of your comments here, uh, on rumble. Mick keep, thank you for the tip. He says,

um, and is now a monthly supporter on Rumble. Thank you. He said, dancing fibbers on the roof. Yeah, that's right. All those nurses. On Rumble, WhiteKnight126, thank you for the tip. He says, don't be afraid to step out of line. Think outside the box. March to the beat of your own drum. Stand up for what you believe

to be right, even if it means standing alone. Absolutely true. Rockfin, Amos Poole, thank you for the tip. Said regarding the Daily Wire, amazingpoly.net does an expose on the new alt-right media and meet the so-called independent alternative media. Big tie into Peter Thiel and other fascist stakeholders. Yeah, absolutely. Absolutely.

I do not trust the PayPal godfather, the PayPal mafia, Elon Musk, Peter Thiel, these other guys. Look, they're open about where they want to go. These are the people, even if they agree with it. See, this is the whole thing you have to understand about all of these issues. You have to look where these guys are coming from and where they want us to go. They're very clear about the fact that they believe

that there's going to be a singularity, a merging of man and machine. As a matter of fact, Elon Musk has said, we've got to do that in order to survive artificial intelligence. We have to become cyborgs, a singularity. They're all about transhumanism. They're all about transgenderism. In the meantime, some of them, Elon Musk is saying, no, I'm not for that.

And I'm not for the mutilation of kids and stuff. So he'll say some right things. And he may be sincere about that. Even if Elon Musk is sincere in his opposition to child mutilation he is still going to push us into that transhumanist future if he gets a chance he is part of the global elite if ever there was anybody who was that and of course you know his you may have noticed that he uses a Baphomet Halloween costume with an upside-down cross, a satanic thing. He uses that as his thumbnail.

That might give you a clue as to where he's coming from. He got any discernment whatsoever. Unrumble, Charlie HS, thank you for the tip. He says, hello from Charlie in Thailand. And I won't try to, is that Chumphan province in Thailand? I'll just guess. That's how it's pronounced. But thank you so much.

I appreciate that. Good to hear that there's somebody in Thailand listening. And let me tell everybody where we stand. Thank you so much for your support. We had, towards the end, we had a last minute surge in the end of the week. Uh, we were just slightly over 50%, uh, as of like last Tuesday or Wednesday or something, you know, beginning of the week, middle of the week. And, uh, with all the donations we got from everybody, we got up to about 80%. So I really do appreciate that. Thank you so much.

Um, and I'll just, uh, mention also that it helps us and it helps yourself and it helps tony uh if you go to davidknight.gold you can find out how you can get gold and silver that you money that real money that you have in your possession and so uh i really do appreciate his support of the program you'll find find that at David Knight dot gold.

all right welcome back let's talk a little bit about what's happening with um other politics here uh we have randy wine garden uh very upset about what marjorie taylor green said marjorie taylor green was and of course randy weingarten is uh american federations of teachers union president and uh she is a lesbian and so she was attacked by marjorie taylor green for the lockdowns and some of the things that marjorie taylorene said. She called them vile and homophobic. In the line of questioning what she said, she said, Ms. Weingarten, are you a medical doctor? No, I'm not. Are you a mother? I'm a mother by marriage. Oh, by marriage, I see. What I would like to talk about is your recommendations to the CDC as not a medical doctor, not a biological mother, not a, really not a teacher either.

None of your advice had to do with stopping the spread of COVID-19. It was all about teachers staying home. Let me tell you, I am a mother. All three of my children were directly affected by school closures. You're just a political activist, not a teacher, not a mother, not a medical doctor. I think her attack on her quite frankly, is not being a mother was off the mark. You don't have to be a biological mother to be a mother.

You can be a stepmother. You can be a, an adoptive mother. Uh, that was, and it seems like Marjorie Taylor green always goes one step too far and ruins the point she's trying to make. No, she was not a medical doctor. Uh, no, she is not a teacher. She is not a health expert. And so, uh, MTG was right about all of that stuff. But again, she allows her to play the, uh, the, uh, victim card.

So she says, um, Marjorie says, uh, let me tell you, I am a mother. All three of my children were directly affected by the school closures. Well, here, just understand all these people were complaining about the schools being closed, that the school closures were not as detrimental to your kids, Marge, as it would have been if they'd kept them open and your kids had attended. You need to be focused on shutting the schools down. And I know that you're not running the schools, but in effect, the federal government is running the schools indirectly through the Department of Education, funding it, setting curriculum, nudging them in certain directions. And so it's important to take that

away. And I would much rather see Marjorie Taylor green focusing on getting rid of the department of education. Then picking a fight with somebody who is teacher union, uh, lesbian and so forth. And that's what she's picking a fight with. This is just division. It's not fixing anything. You want to fix something, Marjorie, you get rid of the Department of Education. And if you're not going to do that, then just shut up about education.

Shut up about the schools. They should be closed down. That's one thing I agree with Randy Weingarten on, except for not those reasons. So he said, you're undermining people. You're undermining trans kids, said Randy Weingarten. Undermining trans kids said randy weingarten undermining trans kids yeah all right lets her play the victim so she said so i felt like i was taking one for the team this vile homophobic nature of it was pathetic it was a pathetic move because she should be focused on doing something you know something she can do something about,

which is to shut down the department of education, stop funding it because that money that Congress is giving the department of education, Marge is being used for vile purposes. Focus on that. And then the teacher's union will go away because uh you know they may have teachers unions and some private schools or whatever but all education should be private the government should have no role in education whatsoever none you will never have freedom of speech you'll never have freedom free exercise religion, if you have government schools. It's antithetical to that.

And we need to understand that the school system, when it really took off in the early 20th century, it was so conservatives could push their values. And then what happened? Well, we had the long march through the institutions, and the Marxists and progressives took it over, and now they're pushing their values. You don't like that, do you? had the long march through the institutions and the Marxists and progressives took it over. Now they're pushing their values. You don't like that, do you? But that's what you get when you run, have government run schools. Chat GPT, we'll see you now. Doctors are using artificial intelligence to answer patients' questions. You know, back in 2013, there was a survey that was a study, whatever, that was done in South Korea.

And they said that by 2030, they thought in the high 70 percentile that you'd have doctors and lawyers moved out by artificial intelligence. They also thought that it would be more than 50% of the transportation industry. And I thought that was kind of interesting because the focus was so much on self-driving cars and things like that. And I thought that was kind of interesting because the focus was so much on self-driving cars and things like that. And I thought, well, that's interesting that they would push out doctors and lawyers more so. Well, when you look at the doctors,

the doctors have really made themselves expendable because they have become themselves. They've become little bots for big pharma. And, um, um, that's good. you thank you travis appreciate that uh they've become uh just the bots and so when they're going to just be pill pushers by formula then certainly they could be replaced by artificial intelligence you know they're nothing but a lookup table they might come in and ask you a few questions and then take, you know, the responses to that and prescribe you some drugs to hide the symptoms, which is also going to make you sick in some other ways. That's typically what happens.

Well, artificial intelligence can do that, do that better. But now in California, Wisconsin, they're using chat GPT to read patient messages and draft responses from their doctors. So who needs to pay these guys for a consultation fee, right? If they're just going to, anybody can get access to chat GPT and find out which one of these pharmaceutical drugs you need to be prescribed. But of course, that's the key right uh that's the fact that only they can't prescribe these drugs and so if you're going to play that game that every medical condition is going to be you know associated with some kind of a pill you still have to have the doctors who are going to prescribe that pill. That's how they protect themselves. And so we're going to take a quick break. Blood clots can happen to anyone at any age. Be particularly vigilant if you are going into hospital, have active cancer or undergoing

cancer treatment, are pregnant or just had a baby, are in a leg cast or had a lower limb injury, are taking the combined oral contraceptive pill or oral HRT?

Bank of Ireland is regulated by the Central Bank of Ireland. And when we come back, we're going to talk a little bit about the election stuff. Stay with us. In a world of deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.

You're listening to The David Knight Show. Welcome back. We have, when we look at what is happening in the campaigns, we have Ramaswamy saying, I'm not going to let Trump get away with dodging the GOP debates. That's a big issue. Both Trump and Biden have decided that they don't want to be cross-examined by their opponents.

They don't want to have a debate, and the media and the political parties are right there with them on all of this stuff. So Chuck Todd asked him on the Sunday show yesterday, meet the press. Todd said, if Donald Trump doesn't do debates, will you not support him if he's a nominee? Ramaswamy said, I'm not going to let him get away with that. Todd said, well, what does that mean? He can do what he wants.

Ramaswamy said, I don't think the other candidates, including Donald Trump, are going to relish being on that debate stage with me. He said what people gave him credit for was that he was an outsider and a disruptor. I'm the outsider in this race. And I think that if you want to be like Joe Biden, an existing establishment that doesn't want to debate, I think people are hungry for new blood. Todd asked, well, what should the party use as leverage to force him to show up? He said, I think it's the voters. It's my job and the job of candidates that if you want someone sitting across the table from Xi Jinping,

if you want someone with a spine to take on the state at the top of its agenda, you better not be scared to show up on the debate stage. Well, that brings us really to, I think, even more of a contrast on the Democrat side. And again, as I said, we're not going to be saved by somebody in Washington, but the issues are important. I think the debate is the most important thing in this election. And that's why it concerns me that both parties have now shut that down.

This now becomes, dare we say it, a beauty contest between Joe Biden on one side and Donald Trump on the other. What kind of a beauty contest is that? The very strange new respect for authoritarian Democrat Robert F. Kennedy Jr. writes Matt Welsh. He says, the enemy of your enemy is not your friend. He's the guy who might want to throw you in jail. And this is kind of an interesting back and forth. I had a listener send me a link to Matt Morano of a climate Depot. And, um, sorry, not Matt, Mark Morano.

This is Matt, uh, Welsh here. Uh, but Mark Morano, uh, runs climate deep Depot. And remember that clip? It's about 10 years or so old. That was actually done by Mark Morano at one of these globalist confabs about climate. And that was, and I've played that for you many times. I'm not going to play it again right now. But that was the one where basically RFK Jr. said, these deniers, something needs to be done to them.

They need to be silenced. They need to be locked up. They are traitors and so forth. Now, Mark Morano is one of the people who's now saying, maybe RFK Jr. has been red-pilled on the climate agenda. He says that climate is, quote, being exploited by the World Economic Forum and by Bill Gates in the same way that COVID was exploited, top-down totalitarian controls on society. Absolutely true.

Absolutely true. And we should support him for saying, we should support that statement. I'm not saying we should support him. We should support that statement. That is absolutely true. I still have questions about it. And Matt Welch does as well.

He says, it's a curious new category that has appeared among the commentariat, libertarians, right of center journalists, expressing strange new respect for a Hugo Chavez admiring skion of the establishment who has serially fantasized about throwing his political opponents in jail. Brownstone Institute President Jeffrey Tucker. Again, it's not just Mark Morano, the guy who recorded that. Jeffrey Tucker, Brownstone Institute President, says, I'm quite certain that I've never heard a more erudite speech in political context. Scott Horton at antiwar.com says, as a Democrat, he must be bad on all sorts of things. Yeah, yeah.

Probably guns, probably the transgender stuff, although he's made a move in the transgender stuff, and we'll talk about that. But certainly in terms of abortion, I would imagine. So on a lot of things like that, as a Democrat, he must be bound on all sorts of things, said Scott Horton at antiwar.com. But not the ones that matter the most, he said. The Libertarian Party of Colorado tweeted and then later deleted, Bravo and Godspeed, hero. And this is what you're seeing in many different places.

As a matter of fact, people are getting as upset with me. We're not jumping on the RFK Jr. bandwagon as they are with the fact that I'm not on the Trump bandwagon. As a matter of fact, I oppose him after 2020. I wasn't on the bandwagon with him. I was looking at it and say, well, okay, he's an outsider. We don't know what he's going to do, which is what Julian Assange, the man that the Trump, quote unquote, justice department, decided that they wanted to kill.

Julian Assange said, well, we know what Hillary Clinton is. She's a murderer. She's a crook. She's corrupt as can be, but we don't know what Donald Trump is. So we'll give him a chance, right? Donald Trump betrayed Jeffrey Epstein, betrayed the constitution, betrayed the American people, especially his MAGA voters. So yeah, I'm not on board with that, but people are getting upset with me because I'm not

on board with RFK Jr. I'm on board with some of his issues. I'm on board with him being in the debates. I'm on board with him being heard on some of these issues. And there's more that we need to hear from him, but, uh, there are issues that he is, I believe wrong on that are non-starters for me. Uh, so he says, uh, people are intrigued by the rabble rousers potential to disrupt an otherwise rubber stamped democratic primary.

Yeah. But also by him having the right enemies, his enemies are the media, the military industrial complex, most of all, a political class that backed COVID-19 lockdowns and mandates. And so for all those reasons you're seeing, as a matter of fact,

even in some of these interviews, uh, one of them that we'll be talking about, that is the reason why Mark Morano said,on, it's very clear that he has brought in people from both sides. She even said to him, she said, so it seems like you got more support from conservatives than you do from Democrats even. Have you ever thought about running on that party's ticket? So just as Donald Trump retrieved political themes from the deep past of the Republican Party, writes National Review's Michael Brendan Dowry, he said, so it must be that a Democrat should come along and try to revive left-leaning skepticism of government and corporate power, and to denounce crony capitalism, censorship, and the CIA to boot. Recasting RFK Jr. as a foe of censorship and political tamer of government

requires ignoring what he has been and imagining things that he will never be. And this is what I talked about when I talked about the passing of the singer last Friday. Harry Belafonte. Couldn't remember his name for a second. He said about Obama, he said, Who is this guy? Into his second term. Very disappointed in what he's going to do. Harry Belafonte is very left-wing activist.

And he said, we just projected onto him what we wanted. And the right-wing people should have understood this by now with Donald Trump. They should have understood it the first three years. He's just another run-of-the-mill politician until he did 2020. Then it became Benedict Donald. But why don't they understand it yet? That's the amazing thing. You're just projecting onto these people the MAGA cult is,

and perhaps even the RFK Jr. cult. It's projecting onto them what you want them to be. So RFKJ has repeatedly egged on government to punish those who disagree with his idiosyncratic understanding of science. They should be in jail. They should be enjoying three hots and a cod at the Hague with all the other war criminals. Remember that? And again, it's interesting to me that Mark Morano, who recorded that is now cutting him

slack on this. I'm not going to cut him slack on it. He needs to explain himself on this. I'm not going to cut him slack on it. He needs to explain himself on that. I'm not going to explain it away for him. He needs to explain it away. He needs to disown that comment. So he was talking at the time, not just CEOs, talking about all deniers, or as I like to say, I'm not a climate denier.

I'm a global warming infidel. I don't believe that religion, that green machine religion. After this lock-em-up interview drew criticism, including from the National Review's Charles Cook, who described it as, quote, a sure sign of mental imbalance and a gold-leafed invitation to be quietly excluded from polite society. After that, Kennedy came out with a clarification. And he said, well, I don't mean all climate deniers, but he stressed that corporations which deliberately, purposefully, maliciously, and systematically sponsor climate lies should be given the death penalty

the officers not the corporations he said state attorneys general who have particularly potent glands and quote the will resolve and viscera to stand up to the dangerous and duplicitous corporate propagandists so you understand understand that just like George Soros, now we can have activist attorneys general who are going to implement this political anti-science agenda on people. And he did that in an op-ed piece. The headline was Jailing Climate Deniers. He said we could annul the charters of each of these mercenary merchants of deceit

and then withdraw state operating authority from the soulless nationalist oil companies that have sponsored big lie campaigns. You know, his relatives didn't think he was dangerous when he was saying stuff like this. Every time they talk about RFKJ, they say, well, he had one relative who said he's dangerous because of what he's telling people about the vaccines. The vaccines are dangerous. Their advice was dangerous, their advice to get them. He was telling people the truth, and he was standing against that. No, when he was dangerous was when he was doing this kind of stuff uh and it is interesting that he doesn't just include

exxon the coke brothers american petroleum institute he also included in his op-ed piece jailing climate deniers he included the the Cato Institute, the Heritage Foundation. Of course, the Cato Institute is a libertarian think tank. Heritage Foundation, the biggest conservative think tank. The Heartland Institute, the George C. Marshall Institute, the State Policy Network, the Competitive Enterprises Institute, and the American Enterprises Institute. All these different think tanks, they are traitors. They are dangerous.

They deserve the death penalty, these people there. You remember Rahm Emanuel? Remember when he started calling out people's names and he had a knife and he's getting into the desk each time and he'd say, so-and-so, dead, so-and-so, dead. He's like a mafia figure, right? How is it that he can go through all these different institutions and corporations and all this? Lock these people up, kill them. That is dangerous.

That is deranged. He needs to explain that behavior. I'm sorry, but I'm red flagging somebody like that as being eligible for the presidency. I'm sorry. I've got to draw the line right there. It's a pretty bright line. And quite frankly, I've talked to Mark Moreno many times. He's really spot on with climate depot.com. I don't understand why he's cutting him slack with this. I'll tell you, I'll read to you what he says about it. I'll let him make his case for that. I'm not cutting him any slack for that.

This episode was not some momentary anti-speech glitch in RFKJ's otherwise civil libertarian matrix, as Matt Welsh is saying uh he is um he said uh at algor's 2007 live earth rally in new jersey rfkj urged the audience to quote get rid of all these rotten politicians that we have in washington dc who are nothing more than corporate toadies for companies like Exxon and Southern Company, these villainous companies that consistently put their private financial interest ahead of...

They call it governance, but that's what it's about.

We say, the government says, this is good for the environment. This is good for society. So you better do that. Forget about your profits, right? These people are trying to maximize their profits. Sure, that's what corporations are supposed to do. What's the alternative to that? The alternative is ESG.

The alternative is stakeholder capitalism. That is from the World Economic Forum. Stakeholder capitalism is from the World Economic Forum. Stakeholder capitalism is from the World Economic Forum. The idea that you don't pursue maximizing profits for your corporation. How do you maximize profits? Well, yes, there is corruption with these big corporations. And it is not a free market. It is crony capitalism.

That's how they maximize their investments. That needs to be addressed. But he's not addressing it on those ends. He's addressing it on the's how they maximize their investments. That needs to be addressed. But he's not addressing it on those ends. He's addressing it on the fact that they're selling oil or what they call fossil fuel. Right? Now, he does pull back and say, well, this is about the crony capitalism. But ultimately, you know, it's what they're selling. And ultimately, it's no different than saying we've got to shut down Remington or Smith and

Wesson, right? Uh, regardless of whether they are operating in a free market. No, I don't like their product. We're going to shut them down. You got something to replace all those fossil fuels with?

No, you don't. So shut up. You don't have a replacement that works. Stop mandating this. Stop scaring people into this. Stop this campaign of fear. And that's what he's still pushing, the fear. He says, they're pursuing private financial interest ahead of American interest. There's no problem with that. The problem is the corruption and the crony capitalism

if they're getting money in subsidies. And he does talk about that. But he only talks about subsidies in the fossil fuel industry. I've yet to hear him talk about corruption and subsidies in the green industry, which is just as rife with all of this stuff. So he says, do I think the Koch brothers are treasonous? Yes, I do. And of course, treason is punishable by death. Yet in 2023, Kennedy can plausibly claim, to those with short memories,

the mantle of anti-censorship for having been on the receiving end of big social media is often government-pressured pandemic speech policing. But the tablets David Samuels wrote in one of the pieces, many eye-popping passages, he said, at this point, the fact that RFKJ is the country's leading conspiracy theorist alone qualifies him to be president.

Again, this is the enemy of my enemy is my president idea. Well, you know, there's a lot of ways that people can come at you as we should have learned with Donald Trump. He can be the enemy of Chuck Schumer and Dianne Feinstein, but then he can set the table with them and say, hey, I can make this gun control stuff work. He can be their enemy, and yet he can agree with them in terms of locking you down and taking what you've got. He can be the enemy of the globalists, and yet he can push universal basic income and CBDC with the timed money. Here's your stimulus check. Here's your PPP, but you've got to spend it in this amount of time.

That was universal basic income and central bank digital currency in a nutshell right there. Some of the key aspects of it. So the enemy of your enemy is your friend, where Jeffrey Tucker sees an orator with, quote, a command of facts, history, and issues, motivated both by truth-telling in an age of nonstop lies and a

genuine urge to heal the political divide. I see someone whose presentation of facts, including grave accusations of criminality. I see these have been repeatedly and persuasively found to be lacking. And so he concludes, he said, RFK Jr.'s candidacy is already a more serious proposition than those of former President Trump's would-be 2020 challengers of Bill Weld and Mark Sanford and Joe Walsh.

In two national polls released on Thursday, RFKJ averaged 20% with fringe 2020 Democrat candidate Marianne Williamson clocking in at an impressive, for her, 8.5%. That is truly amazing. Some airhead crystal new age witch to get 9%. We're talking about the Democrats here. But RFKJ began at 14% and now we got two polls showing him at 20 in just a week or so. Uh, and that's where the complete media blackout and opposition. Surely Biden has significantly less hole on his party's electorate than Trump did on his.

And, uh, so yeah, but again, we have to understand there's no saviors in Liberty on the, uh, we're all crew when it comes to defending Liberty to paraphrase Buckminster Fuller, right? We're all crew on the, on a starship earth or whatever. Well,

when it comes to Liberty, we need to all be crew. And we need to welcome the fact that he's going to oppose some of these horrific things that have happened in the last couple of years publicly, that he'll do it very intelligently. But don't get taken in by this. The enemy of your enemy is not necessarily your friend. And there is no savior in Washington. But because we want a savior, we're going to absolve him of sin. No, no, don't turn away from the bad stuff, especially if he's not going to address it. And we have to understand that the key duty of those who are on the Liberty crew

is to defend the constitution. What is constitutional about punishing companies for pursuing their own financial interest? That in and of itself is not wrong. What is criminal is the fact that they're being given government subsidies. So attack the subsidies, not the idea of capitalism. See, that's the difference in what he's doing. You know, he says he wants free market capitalism, but then he doesn't attack them simply because of the subsidies.

And he doesn't talk about how he simply wants to get rid of the subsidies because he doesn't talk about the subsidies for the green people. CJ Hopkins says, well, he's a real fan of RFKJ. He says, if I were a Democrat, I would definitely vote for him. But he said, he's not going to become president. The global capitalist ruling classes are never going to let him near the Oval Office. They learned their lesson in 2016. They're not going to be any more unauthorized presidents.

I'm not so sure that Trump was unauthorized, quite frankly. I believe that the elections are corrupt, and I still don't think you get in there unless you're willing to do their bidding. It could be that it was such an overwhelming vote that they felt like they could not fudge it enough to keep Trump out. And they just pull back and oppose him in a different way, which we saw from the very beginning. So perhaps he did overwhelmingly win that election. And perhaps it was such a big win that they pulled back from rigging it. But then they will rig it in another way.

But he says so to RFKJ, he says, well, you're not going to win. They're not going to let you win. They're going to smear you, slime you, demonize you, distort you, every other thing that you say. And so he says, so what you need to do is you just need to tell everybody the ugly, unvarnished truth, the scary, crazy-sounding truth, the angry, divisive, uncensored truth, is what he's saying. Well, I think the truth is always good.

You might want to start with the truth about yourself. But when we look at where he is on issues, he's now taking the position of Bruce gender on transgenders and women's sports. I think that's a very limited hangout, frankly, you know, uh,

Bruce gender, who has been the poster child for this stuff from the very beginning, uh, very adamant that he doesn't like men and women's sports, that it's not fair. And of course that's an easy position to take. Because now you're on the side of women, half of the voters. And you're even on the side of radical feminists.

And so that's not a difficult position to take. But what about defending children? You know, that's what this organization is called, Children's Health Defense. But what about defending the kids from the transgender grooming, from the attacks on their mind, on their soul, on their body? That's a harder lift for some reason. You know, everybody can say, oh yeah, sports, yeah, we need it. Sports, women's sports for women, biological women only. Everybody can take that position. But, boy, you know, once you start taking the position you want to protect the kids,

oh, then you start getting a lot more pushback and a lot more corners. And so I find that kind of interesting. I think it shows the really dark dark satanic nature of this thing. That it's easier to defend women's athletes than it is to defend in terms of fairness and competition. It's easier to defend that than it is to defend children and what is being done to them as a final thing here in the politics stuff michelle obama jumps on the stage with bruce springsteen in a concert in barcelona i would not be surprised to see michelle blood clots can happen to anyone at any age. Be particularly vigilant if you are going into hospital, have active cancer or undergoing cancer treatment,

Government stamp duty applies to debit cards and checks. Bank of Ireland is regulated by the Central Bank of Ireland. Obama, enter this as a ringer if Biden drops out. Just my opinion. You're listening to The David Knight Show. All right. Let's talk a little bit about this Kim Iverson interview with RFKJ and why Mark Morano, the guy who recorded him, when he said, no, I want to throw these deniers in jail,

give some of these people the death penalty, why now Mark Morano of Climate Depot is saying well is he red pilled um you know he's um uh he's looking really good to me now at this point and i'll read you some of the things that he said which are absolutely true and need to be said and i'm glad that he's saying him he talked about smithfield food foods and this was in north carolina when i was in north carolina i saw this happening he said basically they invented a kind of factory farming for pork. This is in the early 80s, he said. They built a huge slaughterhouse in North Carolina.

They slaughter about 30,000 pigs a day. And they dropped the price of hogs at 32 cents a pound from 60 cents a pound. And he said they put a lot of people out of business. 28,000 independent hog farmers were put out of business by Smithfield Foods. It's a big corporation. And they got control. He said there are now 1,800 factories in the state. 80 of those are controlled by this one company.

He said they put it out of business, all the independent farmers, and they sold themselves to the Chinese. So now you have a Chinese company that controls the landscapes, and the food production is not only in North Carolina, but Iowa, and all over the country. And that's not good for our country. And the U.S. Department of Agriculture abets it, he said. It is a colonial model.

You have a foreign country that is coming in and stealing our natural resources, polluting the landscapes, poisoning our rivers. 14 rivers poisoned in North Carolina. And they control food production in this country. And the USDA is abetting all those kinds of policies. He says, so we shouldn't be doing that and I will end it overnight. And so still not clear exactly how he's going to end that. You see, here's the problem. It gets to be sticky because we don't want to have dictators.

And so if you're going to just come in and buy, is it going to do it by executive order? You know, how is he going to end it? So the problem, as I've said, is not even so much pollution as it is prohibition. That's what the EPA has transitioned into. It was sold to the American people as a way to get rid of pollution. And yet it's now all about emissions and emissions are how they are presuming to ban everything in your life. And so Kim Iverson says to him, well, you've been an environmentalist for a long time fighting

against pollution. So where are you on climate change? There is a difference between environmentalism and climate change. So where do you stand on all of that? And what types of policies do you support? RFK Jr. said the climate issues and pollution issues are being exploited by the World Economic Forum and Bill Gates and all these big mega billionaires. And the same way that COVID was exploited to use it as an excuse to clamp down, top down totalitarian controls on society, then to give us engineering solutions.

And if you look closely, as it turns out, the guys who are promoting those engineering solutions are the people who own the intellectual properties, the patents for those solutions. It's being used and they've given climate chaos, a bad name. They, he believes in climate chaos and he's angry because he believes these people are

ripping it off for money. And, you know, we've, we've seen this from a lot of people who opposed environmentalists who are true believers and man-made global warming. They got very upset about the Paris climate accord because they said, wait a minute, you're going to let China and India skatemade global warming. They got very upset about the Paris Climate Accord because they said, wait a minute. You're going to let China and India skate on this thing? These are the two biggest countries, and you're going to let them have as many fossil fuel plants with no controls whatsoever?

They can make them as cheap and dirty as they want? This is a global problem, and you're not addressing it that way. So the true believers of the Paris climate accord, they said, this is nothing more than a transfer of wealth from the United States and Europe to China and India. And they were absolutely right. And that's essentially what RFK jr.

Is saying, but frankly, I am just as afraid of these true believers in climate change as I am of the cynical grifters at the World Economic Forum. You have to understand they're equally dangerous in a different way. We have to oppose that lie. It is a lie that's based on fear. And the question is, he doesn't tell us what he's going to do to solve it. He believes that it is a problem. What is he going to do to solve it?

He said, a true free market promotes efficiency, and efficiency means the elimination of waste and pollution as waste. In a true free market, it would require us to properly value our natural resources, and it's the undervaluation of those resources that caused us to use them wastefully. But is he going to use the EPA as a regulator? How is he going to get us back to a free market? That's what I don't see. Maybe he will give us that vision. I don't see that. He said, you show me a polluter, I'll show you a subsidy. Well, I'll tell you what. Maybe he will give us that vision. I don't see that. He said, you show me a polluter, I'll show you a subsidy. Well, I'll tell you what, what he doesn't say is you show me somebody who is selling a solution for net zero and I'll show you a subsidy as well, right? You show me a

prohibition about what I can eat or drive or use because of net zero, I'll show you a subsidy as well. See, it's on both sides, this corruption. Everybody in Washington, everybody goes to Washington to get a subsidy and all the people that are there are handing them out. That's their model for how they do business. As I've said so many times, when you put that much money in Washington, it becomes a giant black hole, sucking in every crook and grifter in every industry, everywhere, worldwide. They're coming to Washington for their free money.

That's a big thing. But he only sees a problem here with the carbon industry. He said the carbon industry, in terms of the carbon industry, all the things that people are trying to do to promote, to end carbon, we should be doing anyway. You see? RFKJ believes in the whole fantasy of net zero. That is, if you're going to buy into this because he has, you know,

been on the right side of vaccines, he's just going to sell you the net zero MacGuffin, and it's going to get us right back to the same place, coming at us from a different angle. It's the same thing that they do with, okay, let's put a Republican in, and I'll put a Democrat in. Right. And yet they're both ratcheting us down into slavery.

You know, left, right, left, right. He says, you need to be reducing your carbon based climate change. So there you go. And I was very surprised and disappointed when Mark Moran said, wow, powerful. I fully endorse support and agree when Mark Morano said, wow, powerful. I fully endorse, support, and agree. RFKJ here. He said he once called for climate skeptics to be jailed at the Hague as war criminals, but all is now forgiven.

Not for me. Not for me. Remove those comments. Explain those comments. Renounce the climate change lie. Say that net zero is not something that we're going to be held to. That's just as absurd as saying COVID zero. And we know what COVID zero policies look like.

They were still doing COVID zero policies just a few months ago in China, locking everybody in Shanghai down. COVID zero, net zero. There's not a dime's worth of difference in those two MacGuffins. And he's still selling net zero. He doesn't believe in COVID. So we can now vote for him. And then what do we get?

Same stuff. The policies are always the same. We got to take everything from you. We have to create a life of austerity and slavery for you, and we've got to reduce the population. It's always about that. Never forget that the fundamental lie underneath all this net zero stuff was depopulation.

That's one thing that has not changed. Paul Ehrlich and the population bomb and the rest of this stuff has always been on depopulation. Blood clots can happen to anyone at any age. Be particularly vigilant if you are going into hospital, have active cancer, or undergoing cancer treatment, are pregnant or just had a baby, are in a leg cast or had a lower limb injury, are taking the combined oral contraceptive pill or oral HRT.

Euthanasia, the rest of it.

The whole Soylent Green thing. So, yeah. Also, renounce salvation by big government. Oh, but, you know, we could be saved by big government if it was just pure. If we only had RFKJ running big government government it would be pure and we could be saved by it this is the fantasy right for the right the fantasy was if we could just get somebody in there who's not a career politician somebody who is a businessman a successful businessman a billionaire who is not afraid to speak his mind, frankly, right.

Um, and, uh, frankly to speak his mind. And, you know, that's exactly what we need. We need Donald Trump.

If only we could have a Democrat who doesn't like the CIA and is pure, not captured. Oh, we could, uh, you know, that's the lie that they sell you. You know, Republicans believe business can do no wrong and we need to have

a businessman running it and the Democrats believe that we need to have somebody who is a true believer in big government because the Democrats don't believe that government is fundamentally needs to really be controlled. You know, if you just have pure motives, it's all going to wash out in the end. Right? Well, here's all going to wash out in the end, right? Well, here's what this looks like. In California, they're pushing a ban on diesel big rigs. No diesel trucks by 2036 in California.

You want to talk about what that's going to do to the supply chain? You want to talk about what that's going to do to our lives? That kind of insanity let's just ban it you know no diesel trucks so i got 13 years to get our supply chain you know for for people to rearrange things so we can uh get other ports set up because right now california has an outsized ability you know that we saw that big backlog of what was happening in California, uh, with, um, you know, as they messed up those ports and we saw what that was doing to supply chain nationally.

And that was all because of the bottleneck there in California and the labor unions that were there and that type of thing. So now California government's going to do the same thing in 2036. No diesel trucks coming into California. They also passed new rules requiring all trucks to be zero emission vehicles by 2042. That's essentially the same thing anyway. Yeah. How many, uh, I don't know if there's any gasoline big rigs out there.

Maybe there are. Pretty much all of them are diesel for a reason. So CARB, that's a California agency. California Air, I forget what the R stands for. But anyway, it's an air resources board. California Air Resources Board, CARB. Again, emissions. When anybody starts talking about emissions, walk away.

That's the big lie. 0.4% of the atmosphere, again, is carbon dioxide. We're not going to die. It's needed. Now they're on nitrogen emissions and so forth. So the California Air Resources Board enacted regulations that will require zero emission trains. Trains. Now, they want to shut everything down.

It's not enough to take away your personal car. It's not enough to take away diesel. We've got to take away all internal combustion engines. We've got to shut down the diesel trucks. We've got to shut down the trains. See, they want to take us back into a medieval poverty, feudalism, hunger games, the rest of the stuff. This is why RFKJ must be opposed if he's going to hold to this net zero stuff. They're going to take down the planes, the trains, the automobiles, all of it. And they're going to take us down with that.

If he buys into this emission stuff, end of story. It is a suicide pack. It is a Kool-Aid cult that they want you to drink every bit as much as the vaccine was a Kool-Aid cult. They both lead to slavery, to death, to depopulation. It's serious. It's just as serious as this vaccine stuff, folks. Better take it seriously.

You better reject anybody who's running for this. I would assume that you would reject Fauci if he was running, right? That'd be a disqualifier, regardless of what other issues you agreed with him on. Well, that's the way I feel about RFKJ. So there goes the unsubscribe button. It's what it is. It is what it is. Environmental groups praise the new rules for taking diesel-heavy trucks off the road at the same time CARB works on a host of other measures to ban fossil fuel

across a host of other areas, such as trains. The National Senior Director of Air Advocacy. He's an air advocate. Well, I advocate air as well. I was advocating air when these people wanted to put masks on our faces. He said, I don't think there's been a single rule where we haven't heard the technology isn't ready. The costs are too great or it's not the right time. Well, of course you've heard that because all three of those are true.

Every one of these net zero things that they want to put out there, that's true of every single one of them. The technology is not ready. The costs are too high and it's not the right time. And then there's a fourth one. It's not needed because your whole idea of global warming is not true. He said, but the urgency of cleaning our air and confronting the climate crisis cannot wait. See, it's warp speed.

You've got to do it now. It's a crisis. We can't wait. We can't. There's no time to get something that's safe and effective. There's no time even for an alternative. We can just shut down what you're doing. Got to lock you down.

Climate lockdown. That's what it's about. Same MO. Austerity, slavery, depopulation. That's what this is all about. Always has been. All right. So we're going to take a quick break. And before we do, just a real quick thing here.

Professor Stephen Snyder. Case in point, this is from the Daily Skeptic. He was somebody who was all about catastrophic ice age and then just did one of these 180s going into catastrophic global warming. Now, why did he say that? His scientific theory, false theory, by the way, was that CO2 was not going to be a problem in the early 1970s. He said we have something he called the saturation hypothesis.

He believed that it was going to act in a different way if CO2 saturated. Well, of course, it's still 0.04% of the atmosphere. So that's not the issue, saturation or non-saturation. But in 1976, he was promoting a coming ice age with disastrous consequences for food yields and famine in undeveloped countries. And of course,

in that, he was, that's 1976. The first Earth Day was 1970. And so for six years, Paul Ehrlich and these other people have been pushing a coming ice age

as a reason for depopulation, you know, for population control. These are the people, the globalists who pushed one child policy on China because of this type of thing. Shortly after 1976, he said global cooling presented humankind with some of the most important challenges that it has had to deal with for 10,000 years. He said,

um, the short burst of global cooling, however, uh, did not last out the decade. Fresh scares emerged to boost the rising green collectivist agenda. It's just collectivist. It's a big government agenda,

Marxist agenda. And, of course, you know, somebody needs to ask RFKJ why he was cheering Che Guevara. The green stuff is a collectivist agenda. In the vanguard of mainstream opinion, Snyder switched tack, and by 1989, he said man-made global warming could increase temperatures by 5 degrees centigrade by 2050, unless, quote, drastic action was taken. And so he didn't really care whether he was going to be the champion

of global warming or global cooling, and he was a lagger in all of this stuff. Again, everybody else, you know, jumps on to the ice age thing. Six years later, here's my scientific basis for it. And then he's applauded. Then they switch. And a few years after that, he's with them. And he's now all about global warming. He worked with other people on each of these falsehoods.

He used his professional position and his status to, quote, concoct an intellectual justification for extorting certainty from ambiguity. That's a book that's reviewing his life's work. That's why this is here from the Daily Skeptic. Towards the end of his life, he was promoting a new form called system science. System science. He said, climate science is not like test tube science. Yeah, you see, the scientific method says that somebody's got a hypothesis and, you

know, you measure it and try to reproduce it to validate it. But no, it's not like that at all. We do not falsify by experiments. We falsify on the basis of accumulated numbers of papers. See, it's about authority. It's not about science. Well, what does the mass, the herd think about this? So we witnessed the birth of consensus, he said, to promote the unproven idea that humans control the climate thermostat. That's how they do it. Consensus plus cancellation and defunding of unbelievers, fact-check attacks, trusted messenger journalism,

and the emergence of mass death cult movements, etc., etc. That's where we are with this. This is why RFKJ needs to repudiate net zero. He needs to repudiate his calls for jailing and trying as traitors, people that he disagrees with. Okay, we're going to take a break, and when we come back, I'm going to talk about... Blood clots can happen to anyone at any age. Be particularly vigilant if you are going into hospital,

have active cancer, or undergoing cancer treatment, are pregnant, or just had a baby, are in a leg cast or had a lower limb injury, are taking the combined oral contraceptive pill or oral HRT.

Some of the Ask Me Anything questions that were given on Saturday's show. We'll be right back. Thank you. Analyzing the globalist's next move. Music And now, The David Knight Show. Well, I was on with Nights of the Storm on Saturday morning, as I mentioned earlier. And we were taking Ask Me Anything questions. And we had a few of them. And some more came in at the end of the show.

And we were not able to get to those. So Jason Barker sent those to me. I'm going to talk about them here at this moment. of them and some more came in at the end of the show and we were not able to get to those so jason barker sent those to me i'm going to talk about them here at this moment but i just want to say i'm really honored by what they do uh the fact that it began with people who were watching this program commenting on it and deciding that they wanted to do more i'm glad to see that they've got a community there as jason said we're starting to build a real community here he said i was a mustard seed but it is what they're doing it's not what i'm doing i'm glad that they're building this and of course there's a lot

of people uh that i see it really blossoming and they're creating a community if you go to a nights of the storms website, you'll see, uh, schedule of, uh, where all these different people are, where their programs are and, um, you know, guard goldsmith, Chris graves, um, the new, uh, prisoner, I think it is. Um, and many others. I know I'm going to forget. There's a lot of them. I can't remember all of them that are there, but you can see all the different schedules and the different people that are out there. And I'm glad to see that There's a lot of them. I can't remember all of them that are there, but you can see all the different schedules and different people that are out there.

And I'm glad to see that they're getting active in this, uh, because, um, you know, it is not, uh, they've got a lot to say and they're giving you, giving it to you straight. And I can't really say that about the people that are getting paid tens of millions of dollars. You know, that, that is a tremendously corrupting influence there, to have that there. And as I've said many times about Tucker Carlson, he knew about this vaccine stuff. He would drop hints, he'd roll his eyes, or he'd say, well, I'm not getting it or whatever. But he wouldn't come out and say it. He wouldn't tell people that the VAERS database was filling up with people dropping dead or people being

crippled from that. And I thought that was, you know, it destroyed my trust in him. And then we see in this lawsuit that he's saying one thing about the election privately and another thing publicly. That's not a good sign. And so we need to have people with integrity who are going to spend time taking a look at the news. And so, uh, just to get to some of these questions here, um, Greg, uh, T said, uh,

David, have you ever considered reaching out to OAN? Not a lot of choice out there, but they are the closest match I've seen. No, I'm not interested in, I had several kind offers from people, uh, when I was first, uh, left, uh, InfoWars or was kicked out. I had several kind offers from people. I'm just not interested in doing that. Yeah. Because it comes with some chains, even though, you know, at InfoWars, everything was kind of freewheeling and open. There was a shadow banning that was happening because I wasn't pushing the Trump stuff there.

Then it got more oppositional, finally getting fired. I'm just not interested in joining an organization. If people want to watch what I have to say, they watch what I have to say. Chris, I think it is L, Chris L. David, what do you know about the legal battle for the right to repair? With the climate MacGuffin, climate change, is it not time for somebody to come up with a standardized car line of which we can repair? On another note, do you want to think the war on information of this day and age has been done and directed to kill the Renaissance and its fruits. Well, of course, to shut down speech, that is always the first go-to of tyrants.

That's one of the reasons why it is in the First Amendment. And, of course, part of that is it's very important to control religion as well because people who believe in God are not controllable. And the people who founded this country knew that. They knew that was one of the reasons why this country was founded, the way that it was. And we did have established religions in these different states. They were different. As I mentioned many times, all of them initially had a state church that you were required to attend, required to pay support for.

Rhode Island was Baptist. Most of the New England states were Congregationalist. Maryland was Catholic and so forth. So they all had their state church. And then gradually they got concerned about, once they created a central government, it's like, okay, which one of these is going to become now the official national church? And so that's why they had the First Amendment, was to get rid of that. But Jefferson and others realized that it was not good.

Again, Jefferson, you don't take your religious advice from Jefferson. He just saw Jesus as a good moral teacher, And that was before C.S. Lewis explained, no, you can say whatever you want about Jesus, but he's either a liar, a lunatic, or Lord. He's not a good moral teacher, but that didn't occur to Thomas Jefferson. But many people who are Christians understood the danger, first of all, if your religion isn't the one in charge. And they also understood how even if your religion was the one that was picked, it was going to be corrupted by politics. And in the end, politics would completely poison it, and you'd have nothing left but politics. So if you have an official established church, it's either going to be a church that you don't agree with, or if it's the church that you agree with, they're going to completely

poison and politicize that church. That's why we have separation. And that's why we need to have separation of education as well. And so that's a long answer for the speech thing and why they're trying to do it. In terms of the first part of the question, the right to repair, you know, one of the first times I talked to Eric Peters, we were talking about that very thing. This Digital Millennium Copyright Act has been used for, especially with John Deere. And that was the first time we talked maybe about a decade ago. And John Deere was rigorously enforcing that, saying we're not going to let these farmers

who have typically been the ones to fix their own equipment because they're not operating with really high profit margins. And so farmer has to be kind of a jack of all trades. They were used to fixing their own stuff, but they couldn't do it with this highly computerized John Deere stuff. Not only was it highly computerized with a lot of black boxes and you need to have some diagnostic equipment there, but they absolutely prohibit you from going out and buying the black box even and putting it in yourself. No,

you had to pay for the service charge as well for John Deere to put that black box in. And they were doing it on the basis of that. And then it was metastasizing to General Motors saying, we're going to do the same thing. And so the computerization of it, uh, even though we look at it and say, well, it can do some great things in terms of, you know, changing the timing in your engine and all these other, other things, uh, that might help, uh, the emissions or it might help your performance. You know, it can go the other way.

Uh, like with a Miata, uh, we have, it's a pretty big aftermarket. And so, um, I was able to, uh, find people that had gone through it. Because you've got to be careful. There's so many different parameters there. You don't want to mess up the timing so much that you ruin your engine. But you can, with the right software, reprogram your ECU. And you can trade off emissions for performance.

I highly recommend it. Anyway, so there's certain things like that that you can do but they wanted to prohibit it legally and um and so that is an issue all of the computerized stuff is a bit of an issue and that's why eric peters and many others have said you know get an older car that's all mechanical uh he also had another uh comment or question i've noticed on my rock fan feed that your page is no longer presented on top. I now have to dig through rock fan to uncover your page. Well, that's something for all of you to know. Uh,

this may be due to perhaps my thumbs being too fat, pushing your page to the technological. No, I think it has something to do. I don't think they're, I don't think they're really kind of pushing me down. Blood clots can happen to anyone at any age. Be particularly vigilant if you are going into hospital, have active cancer or undergoing cancer treatment, are pregnant or just had a baby, are in a leg cast or had a lower limb injury,

are taking the combined oral contraceptive pill or oral HRT. Ask your doctor for a blood clot risk assessment. Visit thrombosis.ie. I kind of backed away from it in terms of not doing a sixth day, you know, or an evening program or whatever. It's just, I couldn't handle doing a three hour show, five days a week, and then doing another one or two hour show, you know, on Saturday or on a weeknight, uh, thing. I just, it was kind of like the straw that broke the camel's back. I just

couldn't keep doing it. So because that show's not there, I think that's one of the reasons why that's disappearing there, by the way, on, um, on rumble, uh, you can subscribe as we've been seeing with some of the people here as well. And rumble is trying to encourage people, uh, to use the platform. So there's some good things that are there. And I think the fees are going to be less for 2023. It looks like they're not going to charge fees for 2023.

I'm not sure how it's going to work out yet. We've not been accepting money on rumble for very long. We're not really sure how we get it out, but I'm sure that there's a way to do it uh but uh that still has to be discovered by us um and then from marty k he said in the movies soylent green who made the decision to put mr knight uh and say his lines inside of a tv screen well i'm not sure what he's referring to there except maybe he might be referring to that video that was done by Derek Breen,

where he mixed scenes together from Soylent Green. And it's been a while since I saw it. He did a great job with it. It's 10 years ago. I was talking about child sacrifice and what we have seen in ancient civilizations. I focused on what was happening in Canaanite culture when the Israelites went in there, Tucker Carlson just

started talking about that um you know the it was a week ago last saturday in between the time they decided to fire him at the time they told him he was fired when he was talking to the heritage foundation he talked about child sacrifice he talked about it in terms of aztec civilization and other civilizations but i was talking about it in terms of how the Bible covers it. And of course, it wasn't just the, you know, the Canaanites that were there, Palestinians that were there, Carthaginians that were there, all these Phoenicians in that area were heavily involved in child sacrifice. But also because the Israelites did not purge them,

they wound up doing it as well. You know, some of the corrupt rulers it in as well. You know, the, uh, the ruler, some of the corrupt rulers did that as well as the people there. So that's the problem. If you don't get rid of the corruption,

you wind up being contaminated by yourself. Uh, last one here. This is from a Chris S he said, hi, David, this system is obviously anti-white and most people of color are not defending white people's rights and lives like we have done for them since the 1960s.

Would you do an interview with the pro-whites who are defending white people's lives and rights? The NationalJusticeParty.com has done protests over systematic injustices against whites and they will gladly send a representative for an interview. And he says, thanks. No, I'm not interested in pursuing that. And I'll tell you why. Political parties and tribalism along racial lines, I understand that if we are the only

ones who are out there saying, well, okay, we want to treat everybody equal, but every other group is out there pushing advantages for their tribe. And that's the way the Bible talks about it. It talks about the divisions between people. We're all of one blood, right? All humans are of one blood. And we're all descended from Adam. We're all descended from Noah.

If you believe the Bible, I believe the Bible. And so we're all of one blood, but we have different nations, tongues, and tribes. So nations would be political, tongues, of course, languages, and tribes, that's customs, right? Could be skin color as well. So the bottom line is that people look at this and say, well, if we do that, we're suckers because nobody else is going to do that. No, my tribe is Christian, the Christian tribe. And in that tribe, we don't emphasize the differences between skin color, between male and female, between different peoples, groups, ethnicities. There's not any Jew or Greek in the Christian culture. So I think the thing that heals us, that brings us together, is to acknowledge our common humanity as creatures of God. And say we can have different cultures and nations and languages and that type of thing,

but that we have that commonality in terms of our relationship with God and to see other people as children of God. And to understand that Christ makes the availability of forgiveness and a new life, he makes that available to everybody. And that includes the wrongs that you have done and the wrongs that were done to you. And so that's going to be the basis for healing. That's going to be the basis for restoration of this country.

Not by pushing back and organizing and fortifying the walls around our particular tribe. No, you cast your bread upon the water. I know that sounds counterintuitive. It sounds like we need to circle the wagons, and we need to hang in there with people that are just like us, but that's not what we're called to do as Christians. And I'm going to put my trust in that.

We'll be right back. Using free speech to free minds. It's the David Knight Show. Welcome back. I was able to talk to Catherine Austin-Fitz. She lives in Tennessee as well. She's very concerned about what is happening with this potential of a special session.

The governor has in the past, Governor Lee has in the past called a special session for whatever legislative agenda he had and then found out that there weren't the votes for it. So he doesn't want to be embarrassed by that again. So he's out there calling all these individual legislators and putting pressure on them to find out where they stand on this.

And so this can be stopped if people in Tennessee contact their representatives. And we talk about that, how to do that in this. But it is something that must be opposed. There is absolutely no way that you are going to appease these people who want gun control. And so I had Catherine Austin Fitz on. I recorded her on Friday afternoon. We've already put up the interview on the podcast and on video.

But I wanted you to hear this because I know a lot of people don't see that as well. So here's Catherine Austin Fitz. We're talking about that as well as what we have to do to maintain our financial independence for financial transactions, our freedom to conduct financial transactions, which is what they're trying to get rid of with CBDC and the centralization. What can be done at the state level? Catherine Austin-Fitz. You know, if you want to take an action that's productive, whenever there's a

school shooting, I think you need to get to the bottom of the truth of what really happened. Mm-hmm. And I don't see that happening. That's right. You know. So you have a shooting, and the next day you've got out-of-state activists and well-financed in-state activists putting forward a solution without any clarity about what really just happened. In 2012, the Department of Justice, Eric Holder, and this is interesting, remember that name, Eric Holder? Yeah. So Eric Holder let HSBC skate on criminal violations, pay a fine and skate, protected

by Eric Holder, Attorney General of the United States, who shows up in Tennessee to basically target and attack the Tennessee legislators, including threatening lawsuits against them, Eric Holder. Joining us now is Catherine Austin-Fitz, and you can find her Solari report at solari.com. Always a pleasure to have Catherine on. She gets the big picture. Thank you for joining us, Catherine. Thank you, David. I'm so excited to hear that you're in Tennessee. Yes, I'm excited to be here. Love it here. Let's talk a little bit about you just recently on Solari.com. You just

had an article, the Second Amendment and 2024 elections. How do you see this as tying into the election? So I was inspired. I was listening to Bobby Kennedy's speech when he launched his campaign for president on April 19th. And he didn't mention the Second Amendment. So I wanted to send him an email to say, look, you know, we need you to come out for the Second Amendment. But I thought, I'll write an article and and post it at the same time we were having an enormous fight in the tennessee legislature um over the second amendment with the governor trying to propose red flag laws and the governor is now the the legislature finished

without addressing this and the governor is now trying to propose a special session. Hopefully that won't happen. But what you see in Tennessee right now is you see the extraordinary effort to chip away at the Second Amendment. And I wanted to write a piece for Bobby, but for everyone, about why this is so important, because many citizens do not connect the dots between the Second Amendment and their financial transaction freedom or their property rights or their incomes. And what they don't understand is if you lose the Second Amendment, we are going to watch all these other things collapse in short order. Because if you look at what is blowing the establishment down from literally confiscation of real estate or confiscation of property rights or compromise of human rights one of the biggest barriers is the fact that the population is well armed and and and well armed and many of those people who are well armed are well trained in their

constitutional rights so the second amendment of the constitution protects our right to bear well-armed, and many of those people who are well-armed are well-trained in their constitutional rights. So the Second Amendment of the Constitution protects our right to bear arms, and that right to bear arms protects many other freedoms in the Constitution. If you pull in the guns, the speed at which those rights will go away. I noted in the article that Jamie Dimon, the CEO of JPMorgan Chase, recently wrote a letter to shareholders and said that the time has come to exercise eminent domain, not just by government, but by businesses and not-for-profits, to get what we need to do, renewable energy investments for climate change now what i will tell you is that has nothing to do with climate change it has to do with implementing an electrical grid that can implement digital concentration camps yes so so you know whether it's confiscating the land or whether it's trying to implement cbdc's you know i've always i've said for many years if i was jay powell i would not pass try and get the legislation passed to implement CBDCs

unless I had pulled in the guns. So I think the, I think the fact that Americans are well-armed and well-trained to use firearms is a major protection of our freedoms. And so I wrote the article because it's, it's time we have to really talk about this. And people who haven't been engaged in protecting the Second Amendment need to get engaged. I agree. I've said many times that it is mutually assured destruction, like the MADD policy that we had during the Cold War. Neither side wants to do a first use of this. Hopefully they don't want, we don't want to do it.

But it is there as a deterrent. And of course, the founders understood that as well. talked about how firearms are restraint against evil a restraint against tyrants and so you really don't want to do something that's going to trigger that because it will destroy everything and and it's a very effective deterrent that is why it's there but also to protect us you've got a story about your particular personal story about a firearm and a dodgy situation that you were in. Tell us about that. Right. So what I always stress to people who don't understand this issue is how extraordinary the statistics are about how effective guns are for protecting the honest citizen. if you if you go back and you look

at the history one book i always recommend is a little bit dated down but still very good called point blank by a criminologist in fact from florida gary gleck and it does an excellent job of explaining why honest citizens are really advantaged by owning firearms and particularly women so this to me this is really for this is something all women should care about so i tell the story of um uh my argument let me step back david when i travel internationally i can't tell you how many times i find myself in com in conversation with people who think that the supporters of the Second Amendment in the United States are gun nuts. And they can't fathom why we would be gun nuts. And, you know, they'll say, oh, you have this terrible problem with those people that are gun nuts.

And then I say to them, I'm one of them. I'm one of those gun nuts. And they're shocked. They say, I can't fathom why you would be. At which point I explain what I explained in this article, which is in every county in America, you see a balance of power between the drug gangs and the drug cartels and the organized crime cartels and the honest citizens who are well-armed what people in new zealand or people in nova scotia don't understand is you know because they're not sitting with the same level of drug cartels in their neighborhoods that we are with ours what they don't understand is the

minute we lose our guns you know there is a standing army ready to move in on us like that yeah they don't understand that delicate balance of power so i tell the story to to give an example of that i tell the story of i was being hassled by a local it appeared to be one of the local gang members and he was sort of casing my house i'd come home from from Memphis with a SUV full of groceries. I had the backup, and I was walking one bag in, unpacking it, and then coming back. It was very late at night. I live in a rural area. I come out, and he's casing my house in the car.

He sees me, and then he drives over to a local policeman's house. When he sees it's empty, this local policeman was at his mom's house that weekend. He comes back, and he starts down my driveway. Now, I was literally three long strides away from being through my front door, and my gun was loaded sitting right on the desk inside the door. So I knew, now in Tennessee, you're never going to shoot anybody unless you believe your life's threatened and you're in the house. So, so, you know, my plan was immediately to head into the house and there wouldn't be a gunfight unless he was foolish enough to come in the house. Anyway, but he was clearly, you know, his feeling and his attitude was very aggressive.

And I just got, I just got mad. I just, you know, I was not in the mood to be hassled. And I thought, okay, you know, you want to have a fight? We're going to have a fight. And I stood in the driveway and I was very clear in my mind exactly when I had to start moving towards the house and exactly what I was going to do especially if he chased me into the house I knew I would be fine you know because I've had excellent training and he got just about a half a foot from where I was

going to head into the pick up my gun and suddenly it was remarkable. I could feel his fear. It was, you could cut the air with a knife of his fear. He, he was really afraid. Now, a lot of these guys are on a tight leash and you know,

they're not used to real fights. Do you know what I mean? They're, they're kind of a bully situations, but anyway, so, so I could feel his fear. And I felt no fear at all.

I knew I was going to be fine. And no matter what he did, I was highly confident I was going to be fine. And suddenly, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And suddenly he started to back out of the driveway and drive away. And he was scared. But the reason he was scared was because I was confident. And I was confident because I had a gun. And I knew I was going to be fine in any situation.

Now, if I had not had a gun, you know, who knows what could have happened. That's right. And what I try and stress on people, you know, we have a great sheriff. And it's really important, as you you know we have a great sheriff and it's really important as you know to have a great sheriff but our sheriff is 25 to 45 minutes away yeah and i have neighbors but when you're in a situation like that you can't call your neighbors besides they're asleep do you know what i mean yeah so i've got a story from my uh not from my experience but from my grandfather's experience uh back Back in Tampa, early part of the 20th century, when they still had streetcars, he was a streetcar conductor. And he always carried a gun, but he had another job.

He and his brother-in-law would go around. It was in some low-income areas, and people get paid on Friday. They would send them around to collect the rent on Friday. And that made them a target because everybody knew that they were picking up money from people back in those days. Everybody was paying cash. His brother-in-law was murdered and the police didn't find him. He found him.

He was murdered with a hatchet and they stole the money. And then he was still doing the same job. Shortly after that, he comes back to his car and he's a bit cautious. He saw a guy curled up behind the front seat and he pulled out his gun he pointed at him he said if i ever see you again i'll shoot first he never saw him again but that was never reported that was nothing ever happened as far as the statistics are concerned of course they weren't really keeping statistics back then on that kind of thing but that's a good example of something how it can be used to deter evil in the same way

that you know just the the population having guns is a deter used to deter evil. In the same way that just the population having guns is a deterrence to what the government might want to do in terms of tyrannical, unconstitutional things or just full-on confiscation, as Jamie Dimon's talking about. One of the other links I put into the article was a great chart. When I was in Washington, one of the groups that the congressional staff would tell you was the most

effective on gun control is a group called Jews for the Preservation of the Owner of Firearms. Yes. And they have a chart up on their website. They have a very good website. And they have a chart up on their website of all the genocides that immediately followed gun confiscation and i will tell you if you look around the world

and you see places where the lockdowns were particularly brutal you know they didn't have guns if you look at the lockdowns in australia one of the reasons that happened was they got gun control and and you know if if the australians had owned guns i don't think the lockdowns would have been anywhere near as brutal it was very brutal i remember seeing the pictures of them you know attacking people that were out there by themselves on the beach or having people who didn't have a mask and they had a lot of armed police tackle them surround them they had a mountain. They would forcibly put the mask on them. It was crazy what was happening in Australia. Right, and it was unthinkable. Australia's always been called

the lucky country, and the quality of life in Australia as of 2019 was much higher than the United States. So it was unthinkable that such a thing could happen in Australia, but I assure you it wouldn't have happened if they hadn't wanted the guns. Let's talk a little bit about what's happening in Tennessee, since you are a part-time resident here and I am a resident here, and we're very concerned about what is happening, but I think it is something that has national implications for people.

Absolutely. We had this horrific shooting here. There is a feeling that something needs to be done. Many of us are looking at this feeling that this is appeasement and it isn't going to accomplish anything. I know that the red flag law that's been proposed by the governor is a little bit different from some of the other red flag gun laws that are out there, but it is still a red flag gun law. And these things have, as we see, the stories about the IRS getting aggressive with people. You were talking about, you sent me an article about the IRS

and how many agents. They're out hiring. They're out hiring in all 50 states people who carry guns. That's right. And so we know that something like that has a possibility. I remember back in the 90s, the Washington Post did an article about what had happened with a family over the mother's delinquent Department of Education loan. And so the Department of Education had a SWAT team. And in that article, they said, we had seen that they had purchased all this swat equipment

we couldn't figure out why the department of education was doing it well they had her address she had left the family she wasn't even living there they came the uh oh dark 30 hours and they pulled the everybody out of the house but the father down on the ground uh face down on the ground where where is she that type of thing and it's that kind of abuse of power that always has the opportunity to happen when you've got a bureaucracy, because you can always have some energetic Barney Fife that's going to do something like that. And so it's a dangerous thing to put a red flag law out there. And it is really a sign of appeasement. And I think that beyond the gun issues, it is going to be something that is going to invite the kind of takeover that we saw with the Tennessee three, if you will.

And it is an effort to corrupt and to shut down that institution. So I think it's very dangerous on many different levels. Well, first of all, what I would say is that I think what needs to happen, you know, if you want to take an action that's productive, whenever there's a school shooting, I think you need to get to the bottom of the truth of what really happened. And I don't see that happening. You know, so you have a shooting and the next day,

you know, you've got out of state activists and well-financed in-state activists putting forward a solution without any clarity about what really just happened. That's right. We haven't seen the manifesto. We don't know anything about motivations. We don't know what the individual is going through.

We know that she was seeing some, uh, psycho getting some psychological help. And we do know from past experience that in many of these cases, they give them SSRI drugs and we know what happens with the SSRI drugs. It can actually make people more suicidal. It's a factor in a lot of murder suicides. I've talked many times to an organization, SSRIStories.com. They've collected over 7,000 of these stories. If somebody varies their dosage because it's creating some other kind of side effects it can

make people uh go into if they don't know what they're doing one instance uh guy here's the thing sorry go ahead you know these people can be mind controlled and programmed to kill yeah yeah or it can happen just because they of the drug one kid went in and he was pointing the rifle at his class and then pointing at himself and back and They finally were able to get it away from him. He had no recollection of what was happening to it. So that is one of the key things that is typically done when somebody has a psychological issue. And we see that that is exploding now in the school. So perhaps the Tennessee legislature should take a look at what is happening in the schools. Why do we have 30% or so, a third of young girls talking about suicide, ideation?

They try to do it. That is something that we never had in schools before. Why is that happening? Well, but you have kids ingesting lousy food. You have kids ingesting lousy media. You have kids being put on pharmaceutical drugs at a very young age. You have kids being abused for a variety of reasons. It goes on and on and on.

And, you know, what we're talking about is debasing our children, poisoning our children in a variety of ways. And whether they act up because they're disturbed or they act up up because somebody's I mean, make no mistake about it. Kids can be mind controlled and programmed to kill. Oh, yeah. So, you know, go go check out Hollywood. There's scores of movies on this exact same topic. So we don't know. I don't know what happened in Nashville because there was no time to know it. All of a sudden, you just had well-financed activists demanding gun control. At the same time, the head of JPMorgan Chase is proposing that our real estate be confiscated. So the reason that gun control is being encouraged and the push for it is being financed doesn't just relate to people who want the schools to be safe because there are many things you can do to make the school safe that we're not doing it relates

to the fact that you have very powerful wealthy people who are trying to centralize political and economic control that's right you know that and i know that and they are using this as the tip of the spear to get it now all you need to do is create a law that says, oh, we get to do the following with a dangerous person. Well, who gets to say who's dangerous? And the issue is the person is dangerous. Just going in and taking the gun doesn't really change anything. When we look at the lesson of the Waukesha christmas parade back in november 2021 we had the same number of people killed six people were killed and we had 62 people who were injured you had a

dance company of grandmothers the dancing grannies you had kids as young as eight years old that were killed from 8 to 81 were the ages of the people who were killed you had this individual who did this steering the car targeting people i mean he wasn't just speeding through a crowd and happening were the ages of the people who were killed. You had this individual who did this, steering the car, targeting people. I mean, he wasn't just speeding through a crowd and happening to hit people. No, he was turning the car to the SUV to hit people. Why didn't we come after 2010 Ford Escapes, which was a murder weapon?

Why didn't we say that we got to have a background check? Why didn't we say, you know, if you got a problem, maybe we're going to confiscate your car. guy had actually used just a few days earlier he had actually used his vehicle to assault his girlfriend and he had a violent history he had multiple convictions and after he had convictions and was a felon one of the things that happened a couple years before that was he was in possession of a firearm. So obviously that's prohibited, and that's not something that he legally had because that was another charge against him, a felon who was in possession of a firearm. So the gun control laws didn't stop him.

If they had confiscated, if he had any guns and they confiscated that, that wouldn't have stopped this murder. So if you look, go back to the balance of power between in almost every county in america you have a group of well-armed drug gangs and and organized crime gangs and then the honest citizens gun control does not remove guns from the criminals that's right gun control removes guns from the honest people from the citizenry and at which point we are outpowered, not just by the government, but I'm not worried about the government because the government, those organized crime gangs are there right now and they are on a tight leash.

And if you follow the chain of command upstairs, they're working for the guys at the top. And it's within 24 hours they're going to move in. Yeah. I agree. I agree. Yeah. You talked about how pervasive it is from top to bottom.

That's how HSBC began, right? Hong Kong, Shanghai Bank, the opioid wars. And they've had a lot of convictions in terms of doing money laundering. I remember Matt Taibbi, before he became famous with the Twitter files and other things like that, was writing for Rolling Stone. He talked about how HSBC was too big to jail because they had already been convicted multiple times. I had the whistleblower who was working inside there

after the first time they were convicted for doing money laundering for drug cartels and for terrorist groups. And he was part of that group and they hired a bunch of people who had no law enforcement experience, but he was curious and he took it seriously. And he found that they had this list of places and people and organizations that were supposed to raise a red flag. And he found that they had intentionally misspelled a word here or there or inserted a space or something. And he blew the whistle on that. Of course, they fired him. But that was part of what Matt Taibbi was looking at.

And this is an old, old story. I mean, just take a look at what has happened to opioid production in Afghanistan after we left. It's plummeted to nothing. In 2012, the Department of Justice, Eric Holder, and this is interesting. Remember that name, Eric Holder? Yeah. So Eric Holder let HSBC skate on criminal violations, pay a fine, and skate. And if you look, John Titus made a fabulous video about this.

It's called All the Plenaries, Men. You can get it at his Best Evidence channel on YouTube. And he describes basically how the Bank of England interceded and they were able to extend the sovereign immunity of the systemically important banks through the BIS to cover HSBC. So HSBC is completely skates, protected by Eric Holder, Attorney General of the United States, who shows up in Tennessee to basically target and attack the Tennessee legislators, including threatening lawsuits against them, Eric Holder. Yeah. Right.

Yeah. The guy who was there when they were too big to jail and one of the things remember eric holder was the guy who made sure the mexican cartel drug gangs could have weapons to kill dea agents right okay yeah so that was fast and furious yes that's eric holder. Covington and Burling. Don't remember that name. Yeah, when you talk about gun control, talk about that. That was an obvious false flag. Even the New York Times said Fast and Furious was a false flag. And they had that as part of the UN Arms Trade Treaty. They were trying to say, well, we've got to control traffic going, the border of small firearms.

So that means that we're going to have to have registration, full registration of all firearms and, and, uh, ammunition and that type of thing in the U S so that we can know where it came from and we can backtrack it so it was a backdoor. To do what they wanted to do. And it, and it blew up with the DEA agent, uh, getting shot with that. But, uh, they even had, very interesting, David. Speaking of having, you know, sort of personal stories, I remember being out in LA when Fast and Furious broke,

and I talked about it on a big radio show and explained why, you know, my personal experience with Eric Holder. If you want to understand my personal experience with Eric Holder, read my online book, Dylan Reed and the Aristocracy of Stock Profits. So I talk about how, why I believe Eric Holder is up to his eyeballs in the criminality. And I fly home to Memphis, I get off the plane and I come down to baggage claim and there's a Mexican guy who's tracking me. He's shadowing me. He's following me. And I thought,

huh, really? Because, you know, the word was that, you know, the Mexican cartels were, you know, Memphis was a hub. So, but I didn't know a lot about it at the time. So I thought, well, this is not, you know, this is not good because this guy's following me. You know, he's shadowing me following me he's you know he's shadowing me so he's like a spotter you know how they have spotters okay so i get my bags it's late at night my car is all the way back in the parking lot up on the top level at the memphis airport and i start down the road you know nobody around it, it's empty, and I'm not caring because I just flew in from LA.

So my gun's at home. And suddenly I see another Mexican guy peek out from behind my car all the way down the road. Wow. And I thought, I'm not caring. And I went back into the airport and was able to find a policeman, you know, one of those guys on a bicycle

in police community policing and i said you got to walk me to a car because there's a guy you know so i need i need a gun so you're going to be my gun and i took off he took a one look at the policeman come along and he took off as many people say uh you know we we carry guns because the police officers are too heavy yeah so you've got your own police officer, right? Well, needless to say, I was glad to see him. I was glad he was available.

But we are living. At one point, I made Yellowstone, the movie of the year on the Salary Report. And I got a lot of criticism. People were on it and said, that show is really violent. I said, really really have you lived in america you must live in a different country than i live in yeah that's done very well so what do you think uh you know what could we say to uh these legislators if any of them are listening uh about this i i'm very concerned about the signal that it sends in many ways you know whenever you try to appease tyranny, you always get more of it because they see it as a sign of weakness. And that's going to be true. You can't comply your way out of tyranny. That's right.

It doesn't work. So here's what the citizens of Tennessee need to do. We need to get the governor out of the corner. The governor has been put in a corner, and so he's going to punch a hole in the dam in a way that's going to make us much less safe. So the question is, politically, how do you get the governor out of the corner? I feel sorry for him because he's got, and I talk about this in the articles, if you look at all the different armies, you know, the vested interests have landed on his head, whether it's protesters, whether it's media head whether it's protesters whether it's media whether it's dirty legislators you know you've got a couple of dirty dirty legislators in tennessee

and and you know you've got this army just going at him and so it makes it it makes it so he wants to look like he's doing something right so he needs to feel like we need to take action so so so get the governor out of the corner call the governor's office write them an email write your state senator write your state representative you know your house representative and say under no circumstances will you compromise in any way the second amendment no red flag flag laws. No, no, no. The Tennessee Firearms Association has a lot of good posts. And, you know, if you're looking for templates or things to say, but you just you have to make this clear. If you do a search for Tennessee General Assembly, you can get easily the contact information for your state senator and your state representative.

If you don't know who they are, you can find out who they are. You want to know them. I mean, it's a great group of people. You have really fine people in the Tennessee legislature. But you make it absolutely clear you will not tolerate any compromise to the Second Amendment and no red flag laws. And, you know, if there is enough pushback, then you're going to help get the governor out of the corner.

Because what the governor can say is, you know, look, I going to help get the governor out of the corner because what the governor can say is, you know, look, I tried to do what I wanted to do it, but there's just too much, you know, there's too much pushback. I can't get this done politically. And all you have to do is make sure no special session, just say no special session, no special session, because then there's nobody in Nashville to, you know, pass some rotten thing

yeah i agree and we don't realize the power of that letter you know i remember uh we homeschooled our kids and so i remember uh back in the early 90s when it was still kind of a new thing and it was shaky and the teachers unions were coming after it and they were going to shut it down it was a democrat controlled state and you had a massive letter writing campaign by a small minority of people homeschooling was not that big then and they stopped that powerful teachers union you can have an effect if you contact these people because most people never bother to do it and so that means already that you have an outsized you know the people who are interested in government are the people who are going to be writing, and that's the way they perceive this. They know, well, these

are the people that are going to be likely voters, likely donors, or whatever, but they listen because you took the time to write to them. And I think that's very important that we make that heard, that, again, take the pressure off the governor, send him a letter saying, we don't want to have a special session, send the same one to your other representatives in the House and the Senate. And I think that is very important for them as well, because we do have a good group of people there in Tennessee right now. We've had a lot of good things that have been done economically,

as well as constitutional carry. And we don't want to weaken the Republican Party. And it's going to weaken the Republican Party with voters if they see this as a betrayal isn't it if you look at all the people who are moving to tennessee because they want what tennessee has yes the last thing you can afford to do is then destroy the thing that's attracting that's right that's right you know we don't want to all move back to california and new york i definitely don't want to move to back to California and New York.

I definitely don't want to move to either of those places. Let's talk a little bit about CBDC and some things that are being done here in Tennessee. Because as you pointed out many times, a central bank digital currency is really the end game. We can get there in a lot of different ways, but that is the most direct way, the fastest way to get us there in terms of a surveillance state, in terms of a lockdown, open-air prison. CBDC takes us there directly. And so that is a key thing to be concerned about. Talk about how you see this currently. I mean, we've had a couple of presidential candidates who have talked about this. I think on the republican side we've got desantis on the democrat side we have rfk jr

we've got i think rama swami has also talked about it uh there's a lot of silence about it but some of the people are now noticing this and i think it really needs to be one one of my favorite comments on cbdc i have an article at celeri so my website is celeri.com you go to slayer of an article called i want to stop cbdc's what can i do and it's a great collection of actions you and your family and your friends can take that can make a huge difference in turning the ship of course the big one as you know david is use cash so so um but in item number 11 i say bring transparency and i give a list of six videos all of them short that really show you what a dire thing cbdc's are yes um and one of those videos is the president you know the federal reserve system has 12 private banks the flagship

is the new york fed but there are 11 other banks around the country. And it's got the president of the Minneapolis Fed saying, well, I can understand why the Chinese would want CBDCs because it gives them complete control and surveillance. But I cannot imagine why Americans would ever allow this to happen. Yeah, that was Neil K that is the president of the new york fed who who whose claim to fame was giving away trillions of your dollars during the bailouts and even he said no you can't do this well he said one of the things he said was look i can send money electronically to anybody and that's what they're trying to sell is the first phase of this this summer coming out with what they call fed now they said oh, oh, look, we got a novel idea.

You can send cash to people 24-7, 365, and do it instantly. He says, we've already got that. We got a lot of private things that do that. That doesn't really solve anything, but it's the first step. The second step, of course, is that's what they call the wholesale part. That's where they get the banks there with the Fed.

And the whole thing is, the purpose of it is to have central control central control of everything and make it direct and that's the next step with fed coin they've even got a name for it already what they want and then and we talk about it they'll say oh oh we're not doing that we didn't say we're going to do that they've named it already they know it's just a phased rollout one of the one of my favorite videos in that group is richard warner who is the top academic scholar on central banking and banking um in malmo sweden in may 2022 i was there i was on a panel with him describing the fact that one of the heads of one of the european

central bankers told him that cbdc was going to be a chip and they were going to put it in your hand so well i mean we just had uh you know just a couple of days ago we had those russian comedians who had called up jerome fowl and he's talking to them think he's talking to uh zelensky but he they had done that a couple months ago with ursula von der laden of the european central bank and she said yeah with uh christine lagarde uh yeah i'm sorry christine lagarde sorry uh and and but she was saying uh yeah we're gonna basically outlaw cash you know people can take the risk but if we catch them with it we're gonna send them to prison she you know that was pretty pretty amazing that is the plan and they're gonna roll it out there they want to roll it out here when biden came in he picked a marxist saleh omarova and she had a paper about

how they were going to redefine everything over a year ago in march you had biden putting out directions to all the different bureaucracies and one of four areas report back to me how you're going to implement all this stuff how you're going to redesign the financial system how you're going to enforce this you know so department of justice and fbi how you're going to enforce this you know so department of justice and fbi how are you going to enforce this uh how are we going to write the code and the fourth one uh katherine was climate and that's the way they're going to sell this that's the way they're going to take down their competition private crypto uh coins they see that as a competition i i can steal your real estate because my owning it instead of you is good for the climate.

Exactly. Yeah, that's right. Absolutely. Yeah. Right. So the Amarova, who didn't get confirmed, thank God, you know, and you can thank Senator Kennedy of Louisiana for that. But Amarova wrote and she published it in the Vanderbilt Law Review.

She wrote a paper on CBDC and said the great thing about it is if you're worried inflation, you can just freeze everybody's accounts. Just like the truckers in Canada. Right. So you can freeze their accounts. You can also you know, this wasn't a particular thing of her, but my problem is it's taxation without representation. They just, they want to raise taxes. They just come take the money out of your account. That's right. Well, we do have that as well as regulation without representation, because most of the rules, they're passing rules instead of writing laws, right? So we get

regulation and taxation without representation. We don't have any due process. We don't have any presumption of innocence, and they don't have to find you guilty they can just take your stuff here's the thing we we still do have the constatation and it's worth something if you take it down david you know the speed at which and that's why they have to get gun control you cannot take the constitution down if we are well armed if we have the constitution and we are well armed you know that has been for for decades that has been a you know a huge wall between us and the abyss that's right and we cannot let it take you know people think oh well i'm not a gun owner i don't care you know i once said to a very progressive friend of mine who was dependent on social security to live,

I said, how do you like your social security check? And she said, I like it. Well, I said, you better support the second amendment because if you don't, you won't get a social security check. And she says, what does one have to do with the other? She literally didn't understand that when you shift the balance of power and that standing army moves in on us, they can cancel everything, including Social Security payments. That's right. And we've already had a taste of this. We've had the lockdown. We tell Main Street and middle class, I'm sorry, you're not essential. And we're going to shut down the small business that you've had for long, just like that, overnight.

Well, but it wasn't just shutting them down. It was stealing them. Yes. Because if you look at the extraordinary explosion of wealth of the people who picked up that market share and those assets, I mean, that was a steal. That was not a pandemic. It was a steal. Because you get the Fed printing and ejecting $5 trillion in it, a lot of it going to their pals, where they're shutting our businesses down, stealing the market share and picking up the assets

up cheap. That's a steal. Yeah, half of the money that was part of the PPP that was supposed to help the small businesses afterwards, half of the money, more than 50% of the money went to less than 5% of the companies because they redefined what a small business was and in a very cynical way. One of the things that I was interested, I had never realized because I was not getting any PPP money. There was an anecdote in RFK Jr.'s speech about a small businessman that had fought

really hard to get his business established and was in the process of losing everything. They threw him a little bit of money. It was $17,000, and he had to spend it within a short period of time. And I thought, you know, I've always looked at these stimulus checks and as PPP as universal basic income. We're going to take everything from you. We're going to give everybody universally.

Everybody gets a check, a welfare check. I mean, that's full on Marxism. But then there was the time aspect of it. You got to spend it by this amount of time. I said, oh, so it wasn't just universal basic income. It was also a taste of CBDC because they can put time limits on the currency as well with that. So let me, after you finish talking to the governor and and your state senator and your state representative about the necessity of protecting the second amendment

then you want to talk to them about the necessity of protecting financial transaction freedom yes what the reason we had richard warner write a great memo on state sovereign bank. If you go to solari.com, just do a search for Richard Warner or sovereign state bank, you'll pick up his memo. And we're going to publish it in a hard copy later this year. And we've made some hard copies and distributed them around the legislature. What the state needs, David, is the ability to collect taxes and spend money, because the Tennessee state is a big part of the Tennessee economy. It needs to be able to do that without being able to control or be shut down or shut off by the New York Fed member banks. Yes. So this gets down to raw political power.

If they can stop or control your transactions, including with CBDC or the FedNow system, you know, whether for the state, whether for the local banks in the state or the citizenry, then they've got us over a barrel. But if we have financial transaction train tracks that can work no matter what, and they can't stop us from transacting or controlling, that's why we've written this thing on the importance of the state having financial transaction freedom. We talked about a sovereign bank like the Bank of North Dakota, but there are other ways to achieve it. Now, there are a couple reasons why you want this. We just saw the head of the New Zealand Central Bank give a speech after the cyclone and say, thank God we had cash. Because if we hadn't had cash, the entire economy would have shut down. And this is why you need cash. And I said to my partner, John Titus on money and markets, I said, I guess he didn't get the memo anyway, but cash in the globalist organizations that is the enemy. Well, but here's the thing, you know, there are multiple reasons. It's not just political

control. Things go wrong. The electrical system goes down. You have a blackout. You need to have transactional options. That's right. You blackout you need to have transactional options that's right you know i get back to transactional freedom that's number one we saw the power grid go down in kentucky remember for three weeks you you gotta have cash that's right you know but then there's the political issue which is if if if we have uh you know whether it's war and we have an emp attack or whether the new york fed member banks OK, we're going to implement CBDC and we want control or with the Fed now system, we're going to run your banks and we want control. You need the state to protect the sovereignty of its citizens and sovereignty of its citizens and of itself depends on transactional freedom. That's right. So talk to your state legislators and the governor about, okay, what's your plan

to assure us financial transaction freedom in Tennessee, no matter what, no matter what the scenario threatening our transaction freedom, how are you going to make sure we are a sovereign state and we are sovereign citizens in a sovereign state when our transactional freedom is threatened? Absolutely. Yeah, we have to have some way to get out. Everything that they want to do is about centralized control. And that's one of the reasons why they're saying, well, you can't, you know, in Germany,

the people are starting to rise up. They're starting to rise up in several countries in Europe because they realize that, and we've seen this here in the U S we've seen Biden as well as a New York governor say, uh, we're going to stop you from having, uh, uh, anything that's other than an electric appliance, anything that other than, um, a electric heat pump, uh, anything other than an electric heat pump, anything other than an electric car. They want to turn everything into reliance on the central grid so they can then shut that down. That's the trap, and they're trying to do that with the central bank digital currency. They're trying to centrally control everything. So we need to have measures where we're going to support people's ability to use cash, to use crypto, and also to have some kind of a state financial institution

that is going to be outside of the central control. That is key. Right. And you've had a group of really excellent legislators in Tennessee working steadily to provide more options. They've taken the sales tax off of precious metals, and now they've authorized the treasurer to make purchases in that, you know, the state has a very strong

rainy day fund surplus and they've authorized the state to start purchasing precious metals. I'd love to see Tennessee have a bullion depository. So, because I think that would, again, just offer more options to the citizenry and the state. Especially if you had a depository as well as a publicly owned bank. And I know that a lot of the small banks don't understand that. They think it's going to be competition for them. But if they don't have that, it's worked out better. It's just the opposite.

In North Dakota, there's about six times the number of independent banks that there are on average throughout the u.s uh and so it's had just exactly the opposite because it's going to provide them the ability to have liquidity to have a secondary market and it's going to be something that is outside of the central control issue which is going to shut right and i'm very sympathetic with the banks because the last thing you need is a government bank competing with private banks. What you need is you need a wholesale bank that is there to support and protect the banks from, you know, national and international enemies, truly enemies. And so because the health of your economy is going to be multiplied by the

health of your small banks. So you need to do everything you can at the state wholesale level to protect those banks. And that's why if you look at North Dakota, not only is it not competing against the small banks, but the small banks are very much represented in its governance and management to assure that there is the communication you need and its governance and management to assure, you know, that there is the communication you need and the governance you need to make sure it's working for everybody. That's right. And I think it was a brilliant thing. I think Senator Nicely called it the Tennessee Reserve System. So they understand that this is something at the wholesale level. It's not in direct competition with them, just like the North Dakota bank is not in

competition with the small and medium-sized banks. So you can deal with the Federal Reserve System, or you can deal with the Tennessee Reserve System. We need to have choice. We can't have freedom if you don't have choice, right? If we centrally control everything, that was what the founders of this country were so afraid of. They knew it was going to be consolidation. Centralization is what we call it. That's why they split the federal government into three competing, you know, checking, checking checks and balances and why they split power between the federal government, the states and the people was over all of that stuff. And we need to do the same type of thing.

We need to have as many different ways in the financial system and then energy and all the rest of these things, instead of centrally controlling everything. Right. Exactly. Well, it's been very interesting to talk to you always is and thank you so much for what you're doing and again you can find the reports that katherine austin fitz has at solari that's s-o-l-a-r-i solari.com you can find the Solari report and many interesting articles on culture and all kinds of things that she's got there. So it's a great site. And just understand that we are, I think everybody knows that things are changing pretty quickly. And they can accelerate.

Just because everything is changing very quickly doesn't mean it can't go even faster. So we need to get out ahead of this and we need to put the, some, you know, firm up the support and make it a little bit easier for the people who are representatives in your state. If you don't live in Tennessee, but if you live in Tennessee, now is the time you live in Tennessee,

get on the horn and tell these guys no special session. That's right. No, no, no, no, no, no,

no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Absolutely. Absolutely. Thank you so much for joining us, Catherine. Appreciate it. Thank you, David. It's always a pleasure. And again, I'm so excited to learn that you're a fellow Tennessean.

Not as excited as I am. I love it here. Thank you. Have a great day. You too. All right. And that's a report recorded last Friday. Pass that around if you live here in Tennessee.

Tell people what to do because freedom is in peril. Defend it with all your might. That's the sign that went up at the beginning of the Battle of Britain. But what we're talking about is the Second Amendment. Take a look at this that just broke yesterday. A Florida sheriff commends a store clerk who shot a robbery suspect eight times and i think this story really illustrates the importance of individuals having firearms and the fact that even when the uh the police are on this person chasing this person you got not one but at least two sheriff's

departments coming after this but the person who stopped it was an individual because he was on the scene date on a beach news reported that quintavis kwame jordan allegedly robbed a flagler county circle k early friday morning then fled towards georgia on i-95 he was pursued by numerous florida police department officers until he crossed into Georgia where the Camden County Sheriff's office took over the pursuit and the Kingsland police department put on stop sticks in order to bring him to a halt. Look at all this. I mean,

he's like some epic movie where you got multiple police departments from multiple States chasing this guy. After driving over the stop sticks, he jumped from his vehicle and fled on foot. He ran into a convenience store and allegedly brandished a firearm demanding the clerk hand over keys to his car. Jordan then allegedly got into the clerk's vehicle only to crash it. This is a guy that can't shoot straight. He can't drive straight either. Jordan then crashed it, okay?

He then reentered the store and began chasing the clerk. But now the clerk was armed and ended up shooting Jordan eight times. He was taken into custody and hospitalized in critical condition. Flagler County Sheriff Rick Staley commented on the incident by saying, I commend our real-time crime center team for quickly developing suspect information and its vehicle, and I thank all the agencies that assisted in this apprehending this armed and dangerous fugitive. But then he added, let's give the guy the credit that actually stopped him, okay? I also commend the Georgia store clerk that put a

swift end to this dirtbags crime spree if he survives his injuries he should spend a long time in prison here's the moral of the story the cops are doing the best they can but even with multiple police coming after this guy it was up to clerk. And he had not one but two engagements with him, right? First he comes in, you know, threatens him, gets the car. Then when he comes back in, the guy is armed and puts an end to it. That's what this is about, the right to be able to defend yourself. And, of course, it also is a check against government authority. But look at the other side of this.

Here in Tennessee, the teachers are pushing real hard for gun control. And as I said before, let's ban the government schools, not the guns. It's the government schools that are dangerous to your child's mind, body, and soul. But these people here are saying, well, I don't want to carry a gun at all. I'm a teacher. I'm not a soldier. I demand, in other words, that other people protect me, and I assume absolutely no responsibility for my own safety. I trust that they will defend me,

and they'll defend me by taking arms from people like this Georgia store clerk. Is that really the kind of person that you want teaching your kids? Completely detached from reality, not just from gender reality. Thanks for joining us. The David Knight Show is a critical thinking super spreader.
