You're listening to The David Knight Show. As the clock strikes 13, it's Tuesday, the 22nd of August, year of our Lord 2023.
Well, today we're going to follow up a little bit on stopping tomorrow's fires today.
But we have a lot of news about what is happening with CBDC as well.
There's a new tactic that's come out, as in Thailand,
some new use that they've come up with for CBDC.
And, of course, there will never be any end to it.
And we're also going to take a look at what is happening in the UK.
Sadiq Khan is setting up surveillance of cars everywhere. As soon as you take your car out of
the driveway, if it's not a brand new model, you're going to get fined about $15. And the
surveillance doesn't just stop at the license plate. They're moving inside the car as well.
And so people are cutting these things down left and right
while they face the wrath of Khan, this dictator.
We'll be right back. Well, we had, again, we talked a lot yesterday,
and I'm not going to get into it a great deal today,
but I did want to show you another video of the Tesla Megapack fire in Australia.
We're going back just two years ago.
They're happening everywhere.
Massive fires everywhere.
Australia, California, New York, Arizona.
And they're rolling them out very rapidly.
Now coming to Tennessee because the Tennessee Valley Authority
wants to shut down functional fuel.
They call it fossil fuel, but it's functional fuel.
Things that work, things that we can afford. They want to set up unreliable, very expensive solar
and wind power. And of course, that has to be paired with these massive Tesla mega pack batteries
that are a massive fire risk. But you know, the only thing that you see on media,
you know, and again, this is why I talked about the directed energy weapons. Look, I know they're
real, but now you see people like Stu Peters. I'll just scroll through Twitter. I don't follow him,
but they promote his tweets to me. It's amazing because he's putting stuff out. Every fire that
he sees everywhere, it started by a directed energy weapon. I'm serious. I'm not exaggerating. Oh, look, here's another
do. Here's another do. Here's another do. Is he going to go down to Guatemala? Look at this.
Look at that. Is that directed energy weapon? That's a volcano. That's volcano lightning.
That's pretty amazing, isn't it? But you know, things like that happen.
And natural forces, God has his own directed energy weapons. We ought to be concerned about
that, the way this country is headed. But when we look at what happened in Hawaii,
there's at least half a dozen criminal actions that took place right in our face.
Criminal negligence, maliciousness, dereliction of duty, all these other things.
But we're going to talk about something that we can't prove, right?
Is that not the biggest misdirection you've ever seen in your life?
That's what makes me angry about this.
I don't care if people want to investigate this stuff.
I don't need to know, for example, what they actually did on nine 11. I just know that what they told us is not true
and that's enough. And I know how they used it. And it's important to understand how they're using
the Hawaiian fire, how they're going to claim that what is happening in California is climate
change and all the rest of this stuff. They're always pushing that. So it's important to understand how they're going to use this stuff.
But we need to understand that when we have some clear things done right in front of us,
we don't turn our back on that and start focusing on something that is not proven.
It could be misdirection.
It could be bait from the government to discredit you.
Oh, yeah, those are the people that, you know, they talk about,
they always add false details to stuff, right?
We know human trafficking is real.
But then they throw in the QAnon stuff to discredit people.
And so that means that a lot of people will just,
they hear that QAnon nonsense that was tacked onto it,
and they'll say, okay, well, it's not real.
I don't have to worry about that.
Just a figment of their imagination.
They do that with everything.
Everything.
Shootings, so they can pass gun control.
Child trafficking, so they can continue to do it,
this stuff as well. But let's talk about what's real. Tomorrow's Fires Today,
it was actually Alex used Tomorrow's News Today. That became a tagline for him, which is
I was the one who came up with that. And I said it when I was really angry that my stories are
being spiked at InfoWars. And I said, well, you'll eventually see them pick it up when somebody
else covers it. And it typically happened three or four days later, they would pick it up when
they could reference somebody else besides me. And so I said that I was angry about it rather than
doing anything about it because the direction was coming from Alex to, you know, spike my stuff.
He took that slogan. So let's talk about tomorrow's fires today. How do we put tomorrow's
fires today out? Take a look at this fire in Australia. I talked about this. This is one of
the first places where the Tesla mega packs caught fire. Yeah. Isn't that nice? Nice battery smoke. I bet that's really healthy for you.
Really good. Now, have a guy in firemen come on and talk about how, yeah, we can't really put this
thing out. We're just going to let it burn. And the good thing, he says, is that this is out in
rural areas, so it's not close to where people live. Well, that's not what they're doing in New
York and California and Tennessee. They want to put these things close to where people live. That smoke is very, very toxic. And look at how many of those are around there.
That's one that's on fire. It caught a second one on fire. I think they were able to stop it
at that point. Let the battery bank burn itself out. Now it's about 15 meters long by three
meters high by 3 metres wide.
There's another one right beside it that is currently burning as well.
So we cannot put them out with water or anything else.
The best way to deal with these things is to let them burn until they are burnt out.
If we try and cool them down, it just prolongs the process.
So by letting them burn, and this wind's helping us by keeping it burning fairly freely but we could be here anywhere from 8 to 24 hours whilst we wait for
it to burn down look we're not we're not that concerned because it is a fairly isolated
location where these batteries are but you know we put that out to the community just to make
sure that they are aware that there is a fire in the area and just to be cautious.
That's really all it's about.
Well, I got an email from a listener, Thorsten Omer, who was kind enough to put out my report on this yesterday,
on the risk of these um lithium battery storage facilities
and they call it battery energy storage sites i think is what it's uh the acronym best best
well you best not have these things in your community uh but the um he sent this out to
some people i guess and cc'd me on it. He said, a National Grid lithium-ion battery storage array
will absolutely cast iron guarantee that the entire USA
gets burnt down from coast to coast.
He said, lithium-ion batteries explode, they catch fire
with resulting 12,000 degrees centigrade fire,
which the fire departments are utterly unable to put out,
as you just saw,
when relatively small amounts of electricity required to power an EV flow through them.
So it's abundantly clear that lithium-ion batteries are eminently unstable and the entire tech should be consigned to the scrap heat.
I absolutely agree.
Go back to the drawing board. You got this one wrong.
If you want to have electric cars, you want to have electric grid
that is based off of unreliable intermittent sources like solar and wind,
which themselves can have some issues and don't last forever.
They're not free once you put them up.
They've got a limited lifetime.
Everything in this earth has a limited lifetime. Second law of thermodynamics. But, you know, people think that
once they get a solar power or they get a windmill, it's going to last forever. I got free energy
forever. No, no, nothing is free. As one of my engineering professors used to say. He said, good, fast, and cheap.
It's the season to shop new styles, electronics, and definitely a holiday trip.
And what if each time you made a purchase, you got a little something back?
With Rakuten, you can earn cash back on just about anything you buy from over 750 stores.
So if you're looking to buy a new phone, clothes, skincare, or getaway, well,
you can get cash back. So treat yourself, family, and friends and book that holiday trip now.
Start getting cash back today by joining Rakuten. It's free and easy to use and you get cash back
deposited into your PayPal account or sent to you as a check. It's the smartest way to shop,
plain and simple. Start your shopping at Rakuten.ca and get the Rakuten app.
That's R-A-K-U-T-E-N dot C-A.
At best, you get two of those.
And there's no such thing as a free lunch.
That's especially true in the real world, not just in politics.
Instead of the brain-dead globalists that have decided a jolly good idea
is to scale up the power flowing through the lithium batteries a million times
to store the energy generated from a national power grid.
They now want to use lithium-ion batteries as a storage medium.
So what could possibly go wrong?
A lithium-ion battery that can't handle the relatively small amounts of energy
necessary to drive an EV.
And again, what is going to be the life of these
things? Again, how often are we going to replace these super expensive Tesla battery arrays?
They're going to have to charge. This is a lot of juice that's coming into them
from the grid during the day when the solar panels are there.
So you got to charge it relatively quickly. As we're now learning, when you charge batteries, these lithium batteries, the faster you charge them, the more rapidly they lose their useful life.
And so, you know, you put them on a supercharger and you charge them frequently on that.
They're not going to last as long as if you slow charge them on your house current.
And then when you go up to the mega chargers, like they want to use for the big semi-trucks that they want to be electric, it gets even worse. And then the other thing is when you
charge them up quickly, it increases the risk of fire. So it reduces the lifetime. It increases the risk of fire. And of course, the other issue
is what happens during really hot or cold weather. Now here in Tennessee, that's probably not as big
an issue as it is in some other places, but it still is an issue certain times of the year.
Remember Eric Peters had just this last winter, he had an electric vehicle that he was evaluating and doing an article on.
And it got cold enough there in Virginia that he could not charge it.
And we've had other reports of this as well.
And we found out as things got hot this summer that heat can create issues as well as reducing the life of
the battery. It can also create issues in terms of charging them. So what is the plan with this
thing? It is a massive scheme of wealth transfer. It's to rob us of energy, to make the available
energy scarce and expensive in order to impoverish us.
It is massive crony capitalism and corruption on the part of the TVA
and all the rest of these people who are involved with these billionaires
to make them rich.
Don't tell me that somebody at the TVA is not getting a kickback on this.
Come on.
This stuff is crooked from the get-go.
Any honest person is going to look at this and say,
this doesn't make any sense from an engineering standpoint.
And then they put the fire risk out there for us.
So, as Thorson said,
only a fool would think that it's a good idea to channel the power of a national grid
through an array of highly unstable lithium-ion batteries.
With a U.S. nationwide lithium-ion power storage grid, what will happen is a massive coast-to-coast fire,
which will make the Maui fire look like a child holding a sparkler or firework.
It's going to happen. It won't all happen at once.
But it'll eventually happen.
This place and that place.
Just as we're seeing.
A National Grid lithium-ion battery storage array will absolutely cast iron,
guarantee the entire U.S. gets burnt down from coast to coast eventually.
And then they can put us in their smart cities.
And he references several, besides the video that I did yesterday,
he references several other statements about German car
garages saying, we're not going to allow electric vehicles to be in here. They don't even have to
be charging. We've had plenty of pictures of them around the world, spontaneously combusting with
the battery, just sitting there in the car garage, burning the place down, burning up the cars around
them. Look at what's happening with the ships and everything. And now you're going to scale this up from a car to a bus, to a semi, to the power grid. It's just like
the vaccines. It doesn't matter how many people drop dead. They're going to keep scaling it up
and increasing it and adding boosters to it. Now time for another one says says Biden. Get your booster shot for this fall.
This is another reason why this was so patently obvious
and why I could not excuse the pretended ignorance
and gullibility of the people I worked with at Infowars,
like Mike Adams, who's covered this every year.
It's like, first of all, who's covered this every year.
It's like, first of all, you've got to know about these annual rehearsals,
going back to dark winter in 2001.
It's the season to shop new styles, electronics, and definitely a holiday trip.
And what if each time you made a purchase, you got a little something back? With Rakuten, you can earn cash back on just about anything you buy from over 750 stores.
So if you're looking to buy a new phone, clothes, skincare, or a getaway,
well, you can get cash back.

That's R-A-K-U-T-E-N dot C-A.
And then you've got to know that they run this thing every year to push people to get their flu shot.
It's the same thing now.
Oh, it's flu season. So get your booster. And so, uh, when you look at this and the fact that it's not just burned down car
parks in Germany, but it's burned down entire bus stations. And they said, we don't want to
have these anymore. As I mentioned, Germany, France, Canada, they're all saying we don't
want to have the electric buses, but you know, let's put this, uh, these Tesla battery packs
on the grid. Why? Because he is so politically connected.
Don't buy all the nonsense that you hear.
This guy is the biggest fake you've ever seen in your life.
He is so intimately tied in with the deep state.
And I don't just mean the three little bureaucracies that are under the president.
I mean the really deepest of the deep state, the Pentagon, the CIA, the real government that's there.
And, of course, the real government is the rest of these three alphabet agencies that the legislature has abdicated their authority to,
and the president is more than happy to have them underneath him.
You stop back and you think back to Trump.
I'm going to drain the swamp.
I'm going to get rid of the deep state and all the rest of the stuff.
The swamp and the deep state was all underneath him.
Every bit of it.
From the State Department, they used to call it Foggy Bottom,
that part of the swamp.
Every part of the deep state, every part of that bureaucracy is underneath the president.
He could have done whatever he wanted to to get rid of it.
It's one of the biggest disconnects that I see in his supporters
is the fact that they don't hold him accountable for doing nothing about that.
He fired two FBI agents that came after him. That's it. That's it. He had the authority to
fire Fauci. He had the authority to fire anybody. They're all underneath the executive branch.
He didn't do it unless they came after him personally.
Now, Handy sent this to us. And of course, Handy's got a subst stack now. And he has given a lot of really good information over the last several years
as this stuff was rolling out.
He works EMS in Georgia.
And he talks about what he sees in the hospitals and what he sees in terms of,
hey, this isn't matching.
What they're telling us about people being sick and it doesn't match up.
I think one of the most important things
that he sent to me over the years
was observations about how they're treating people
who are obviously having a heart attack.
I mean, he's done EMS for years.
He knows what a heart attack is.
They bring the guy in with a heart attack.
And instead of taking him in
and working on him immediately in the emergency room,
they take him over and do a COVID test.
That is the most crass mercenary thing that you can imagine. And it shows that these centers of death, you know, the hospital protocols that came out from the federal government under
Trump, these are death protocols. But but also shows just how mercenary they
are because if they um get a covet test on him first then they get a 20 bonus on everything
they're being run by corporations and bean counters who don't care anything at all about your
home we're just talking about this karen very concerned because um concerned because we're getting old.
I've had a heart attack five years ago.
What do we do when something happens?
I'm not going to the hospital.
I'll die at home before I go to the hospital.
That's just my personal feelings.
I mean, I've got an article here, probably won't cover it, I don't have time today, talking about chemotherapy
and how typically it doesn't do much to extend the life.
It's kind of like the stents that they put in your heart like they put in mine,
my circulatory system.
It doesn't do anything to extend your life.
Chemotherapy doesn't do anything.
As a matter of fact, my father died when he got his first chemo shot, killed him.
Went into a coma, never recovered.
So, you know, when you look at the hospitals and how much worse they've gotten.
That was about 30 years ago.
Almost 40 years ago.
And they've gotten a lot worse since then.
A lot more mercenary.
But Handy says they've reinstated a mask mandate for two weeks.
As well as a liberal arts college in Atlanta called Morris Brown,
which also still mandates the jab as well.
It makes me wonder, why do people bother to go to school like this?
You know, I understand the fear and the leverage that brand-name schools have,
like Yale or Harvard or something like that.
You work real hard to get into those.
And if you get a degree from them, it's marketable.
Uh, even probably, I guess if it's in basket weaving, you know, I've got a
Harvard degree from basket weaving.
All right.
We'll hire you as a Goldman Sachs financial advisor.
It probably come up with some, uh, securitized, uh, financial
instruments to defraud the world but uh you know i can
understand it when somebody goes to one of these brand name places that that's a lot of leverage
over them they worked really hard to get in uh if it's not the very beginning of college they've
already invested a lot of money in it as well some place like morris brown college i've never even
heard of it before why would you let them lord it over you like this and so you got to have a vaccine uh to get there and now they have put
for two weeks a mask mandate and canceled all student activities he said of course local news
is stoking the fire about all this he says says, I haven't heard anything about this at work yet,
but the ambulance company they work for will follow the rules
of the corporate hospitals that they have to go to.
So he said they'll keep us posted as to what is happening with this.
But it is happening in a lot of different places.
I've seen reports of a lot of different hospitals
that have reinstituted the mask mandate.
Schools as well
there's an article on dredge report about hollywood uh studios are now starting to require
the mask again it's coming up to flu season that's all we're talking about here you know it was um
i think it was december the 11th um it was uh of 2020 it was the next and last article that i put up before i was fired and um
and in it i said early december 2020 i've been telling people the you know you say that um
uh you don't want the mandates but i said they're coming and there would have been coming i said
with trump as well as with biden so i said really it doesn't make any difference. You know, they were still
fighting over whether they could overturn the election at that point in time that all ended
effectively on December the 14th. But, uh, anyway, let's do the January, the sixth thing just for
laughs and grins, right. And for ego. Um, but I said, I know when they're going to mandate it.
I said, it's going to be September of 2021, September of next year.
I said, because they're going to claim that you got a COVID spike because
of a flu season, because that's what they're doing.
Basically a relabeling flu is COVID. So,
and they're also going to tell you,
well, we've had this thing around now
for about nine or 10 months.
And I said, and they will cover up
and lie about every single death
and adverse effect and then say,
now you got to have it
because look, everybody's getting
sniffles and coughs.
I'll never forget how, you know,
when you would, even though
we go places like we stopped by here in Tennessee.
And in August of 2020, we had a sick family member in North Carolina, Karen's brother.
So we went to see him.
And we stopped here because, you know, we always liked this area.
And everything was really relaxed in Gatlinburg.
We were walking around.
If you coughed, everybody would turn around and look at you,
even though they're not wearing masks.
Same thing would happen in churches.
Even as the masks were coming off and the social distancing was going off,
you still would cough and everybody would get very paranoid about it.
Think about that.
You know, that is, and I knew that was going to happen too, you know, when I would cough.
Remember when I wasn't sick, I didn't have a cold, I would just clear my throat or something.
But that's the power of propaganda and censorship.
Censoring real science and real observation, any counter to their narrative and then putting
out their narrative exclusively.
That's the power of that.
To get people paranoid whenever they hear somebody sneeze or cough.
This is also from a listener, Jeff, subscribe star supporter. He came up with
top 10 plane banners that DeSantis should fly over a Trump event.
First one here, Trump yelled to his people fight like hell.
Then he let January sixers rot in jail. It even rhymes. How about that? Uh, Trump let
Fauci wreak havoc and retire instead of simply saying you're fired. I could lock down and shoot
vaccines in my people and I wouldn't lose voters. That's right.
Listless vessels.
Vessels that don't have a rudder.
Critical thinking.
And finally, orange looks good on the Don,
especially in jumpsuits.
Well, you know, whatever.
Whatever we can put him in jail for.
Whatever we can get Biden in jail for.
They're not going to come after them for the big crimes because they're all guilty in that.
They're all partnered in that.
Kind of like an Agatha Christie novel, you know,
where everybody takes a stab at the murder victim that they all hated.
So their hands are all dirty, right?
And that's what this whole pandemic is. That's why you'll never see justice for these people who ran it.
PayPal's been sued for negligence in a data breach that affected 35,000 users.
You know what bothers me about this?
And this was back in December.
What bothers me about PayPal was after they blocked me and kicked me off,
I said, you know, I got on, talked to the guy for hours, and I said, you know, I call, I got on, talk to the guy for hours and I said, yeah, so what's,
why was I kicked off? And he says, I can't find anything after, you know, we went back and forth for hours and he was searching and he said, all I got is a statement, remove this account
immediately. And so I'm completely blocked. I can't use it for personal stuff, but I wanted
to get, I wanted to shut down my account and they wouldn't let me shut down my account. I wanted to take, I wanted to shut down my data. And I don't know,
even if you shut down your account, uh, that would not necessarily mean that they would delete my
data, but I thought, well, maybe it would, but they want to keep my data and they want to keep
my account and they won't let me use it. And I just got something the other day saying,
we've changed the rules again, our terms of service at PayPal. It's like, why are you telling
me this? You've ruled me out. Uh, and I can't even know why. So the lawsuit says that PayPal
failed to comply with FTC regulations. Of course, they can fail to comply with a lot of issues
before we take a break. I thought this was very interesting that the Dredge Report
had an article up, a hit piece,
from the Associated Press, the AP.
A hit piece on the Constitutional Sheriffs and Peace Officers Association
of Sheriff Mack.
Here's the headline from the AP.
A right-wing sheriff's group that challenges federal law
is gaining acceptance around the country.
And then they start with this damning quote.
Listen to this.
The sheriff is supposed to be protecting the public from evil,
said the chief law enforcement officer for Berry County, Michigan.
They admit that the sheriff is the chief law enforcement officer.
And, you know, he's elected,
unlike all of these bureaucrats who presume to rule us.
I guess all that makes him evil.
He said during a break at the conference in June of this year,
he said, when your government is evil or out of line,
that's what the sheriff is there for, to protect them from that.
Yes, exactly.
That's the whole idea of the lesser magistrate.
The whole idea of having local law enforcement
that is accountable to the people.
And what is evil about that?
Well, they get some so-called legal experts. They're not legal experts at all.
They don't know anything about the law.
They don't know anything about history.
Saying that, well, that's a very dangerous idea.
Dangerous to them.
Not dangerous to the Constitution.
Not dangerous to our historical way of life.
So they say this guy's on the board of the constitutional sheriffs and peace officers
association founded by sheriff mack sheriff mack if you recall i've talked to him many times
he uh sued the clinton administration and won in supreme court over gun control measures that
they were trying to push in so he's gone through the um he's gone through the court system. He's not trying to
deny that that is a legitimate thing, but he also understands that the sheriff has a legitimate
duty. And this is what we talk about when we talk about the lesser magistrate. The question is,
you know, especially in America, we recognize that concept in the Constitution
that power is divided within the federal government, within the three branches,
and constitutionally now we have one branch of the government that has taken all the power,
and that is the executive branch, the president's branch, because it's the bureaucracy that is 100% underneath him, that the legislature has abdicated to,
that the Supreme Court defers to as well.
Well, you know, hey, they're the experts,
so we're just going to let them decide this issue.
I'm not going to micromanage them.
They're just doing their own thing,
and the legislature doesn't write laws anymore.
They create bureaucraciesies or they create some new
agenda and pass it to an existing bureaucracy. And then they let them write rules. And then
they pretend that since rules are not laws, we don't have any legal protection. We don't have
presumption of innocence, any due process, any protection from excessive fines or punishments
because it's coming from the bureaucracy and the rules.
The rules are not laws.
This is a real prescription for tyranny.
And so we have power that is also divided, according to the Constitution,
between the federal government, the state governments, and we the people.
And that's why the sheriff's office is constitutional
and constitutionally important to keep peace and it's what the lesser magistrate
is really about the fact has been recognized by the court systems as a matter of fact of
non-commandeering you cannot the federal government cannot force state or local law enforcement to do
their bidding. That'd be commandeering. The principle of non-commandeering has been recognized.
The principle of nullification, saying, well, I'm not going to enforce these laws,
that is also recognized. And it is peaceful, but they try to portray it as violence and extremism
and insurrection in this article from the Associated Press.
Whenever you have nullification, whenever you have magistrates with different spheres of authority
or whatever, you're going to likely have confrontation at some point in time, perhaps.
And so we, the people, also have to be active and engaged,
and we have to look at this and decide which one of these is right.
Is the sheriff right? Is the governor right?
If he's going to try to remove the sheriff.
This type of thing has happened, whereas we just talked about last week.
What about a district attorney?
We've had two district attorneys removed from office by DeSantis
because they said, I'm not going to enforce those laws.
I'm going to block that stuff.
And he removed them from office.
And so who's right about that?
And how is this going to play out?
That's especially true of the sheriff.
And so, you know, will the people stand with the sheriff
if he's the one who's right?
If he's not the one who's right, then you stand with the governor to remove him.
That's the key issue.
There's principles that are higher than any of these elected officials.
And we need to be informed and we need to be critical thinking to decide which one is right,
which one we're going to side with.
And this is not a prescription for civil war or confrontation.
It doesn't have to be.
Anyway, the sheriff's group has railed against gun control laws, says AP.
Imagine that.
They support the Second Amendment because all gun control laws are an infringement on
the Second Amendment.
Therefore, they're unconstitutional.
COVID mask mandates, also unconstitutional.
There's nothing in the constitution that gives anybody any power to have
this kind of authority over people to dictate that I have to wear a mask.
What are we now in Islamic, uh, regime or something?
At least the Muslims only required of women.
These, these people, these dictators that we had made everybody do it,
men, women, and children.
Public health restrictions as well as pushing back against election fraud.
Well, isn't that awful that they get involved in all that?
The group has had formal training on its constitutional curriculum
for law enforcement officers in at least 13 states.
In six states, the training was approved for officers' continuing education credits.
I say very proudly, though, at least one state, Texas,
has now canceled that credit for sheriff's training
after saying that the content was more political than educational.
It was political and educational at the same time.
Don't these sheriffs need to know about the Constitution?
Oh, they don't want them to know about that in Texas.
They said, however, Tennessee has approved the training
because it was hosted by a local law enforcement agency.
I've heard it said, and I really am trying to believe this.
Tennessee is what Texas pretends to be.
I'm telling you, the government in Texas is not on your side.
Unfortunately, the price of liberty is eternal vigilance.
And so even though the Texas Republican governors have sold out the Texas people on the power grid and all the rest of the stuff and you know feathering the nests of these billionaires to make them even richer
at the expense of the people creating blackouts creating other issues that's now they're trying
to put that in in Tennessee at the TVA so still have to you know have to work hard on that and
the toll roads that are multiplying all over Texas they're putting those here in Tennessee as well.
The same governor who's holding this special session
is trying to do that as well.
And so then they get into the legal experts.
Legal experts.
Okay, well, it's just their opinion.
Legal experts warn such training can undermine
the democratic process in trying to the Constitution.
So we should not, in the democratic process and trying to the constitution. So, you know, we should not in a democratic process, the law
enforcement officers that are elected.
Sheriffs should have no say it ought to be bureaucrats.
It ought to be public health officials on elected.
It ought to be police chiefs on elected.
It ought to be anybody other than the elected sheriff.
Because if you let the elective sheriff,
who's responsible to the people,
if they have input into this thing,
that would be undemocratic.
Yeah, we got to destroy,
we got to destroy free speech in elections so that we can save democracy, right?
That's what you see all the time from these people.
A former federal prosecutor who is now at Georgetown University
called it a broader insurrectionist ideology.
No, it's the Constitution.
It's the Constitution.
The Constitution was written by insurrectionists, by the way,
in case you want to know. People who had overthrown a tyrannical government. Because governments are, the purpose
of government, according to founders of this country, is to protect our God-given rights.
And when they become destructive of those rights, when they attack them, as they did the last three
years, it is our right and duty to alter or to abolish that.
Unfortunately, we've neglected our duty because we've left all of these usurpations in place
and they're bringing them back.
The mask, the mandates, the rest of this stuff, they're bringing it all back just as we knew
they would.
And then the same guy, I'm sorry, it's a woman, Mary McCord.
She says it is a broader insurrectionist ideology, but she's not finished there.
She says they have no authority.
The sheriffs have no authority, she says.
Really?
Yeah, you need to listen to these unelected public health officials.
They're the ones who have authority, according to this AP legal expert,
McCord, Mary McCord.
They have no authority, not under their state constitutions
or implementing statutes, to decide what is constitutional
and what is not constitutional.
That's what courts do, not sheriffs.
No, that's what an informed public does.
Did the, again, going back to the founding fathers
that she hates so much, obviously,
did they appeal to a court system?
No, no, they didn't.
They understood what was right and what was wrong.
They could think critically.
You see, we have a separation of powers
because we don't want everything under the courts.
We have a separation of powers
because we don't want everything
under the federal government bureaucracy
that is not even elected and unaccountable.
We have taxation without representation,
and we have regulation without representation
in the federal bureaucracy underneath the president.
And it's not enough to re-elect the president because the presidents don't do anything about that.
She says there's another sort of evil lurking here.
This is evil, she thinks.
She thinks that sheriffs are evil.
The idea that they would be accountable to the people who elect them,
that they would be accountable to the Constitution.
She says that's evil.
We have in America a government that calls good evil and calls evil good.
She said the Constitutional Sheriffs and Peace Officers Association
is now essentially part of a broader movement to think that it's okay to use
political violence.
If we disagree with some sort of government policy,
what does political violence mean?
Is that different from violence?
Why the adjective there political violence,
and they're not advocating any violence.
You know, when you look at January 6th,
you want to talk about insurrection?
Mary McCord?
They did terrorism
enhancement for the people that
did not commit any violence.
People like
Joe Biggs who just walked in
when it was open.
They did, well, we're going to do a terrorist enhancement of this stuff.
Why?
Well, because they used fear and coercion or tried to.
We had fear and coercion used on us by our unelected federal government
bureaucrats for a couple of years.
Was that terrorism?
Better believe it was.
They can use coercion and fear no problem that's good but it's evil if somebody stands up to their coercion and their fear that is an elected
law enforcement officer that's what the associated press wants you to believe
and that's what this shill that they found wants you to believe.
So, again, they're in the crosshairs because they're doing the right thing.
It said, one brochure advertising the group seminars says,
the county sheriff is the one who can say to the feds,
beyond these bounds you shall not pass.
Absolutely right.
Gondolf taking on the Balrog.
You shall not pass.
That's the role of the sheriff.
He stands on the bridge of doom and that thing may take him down, but that's what he's supposed
to do.
That's what he signed up to do.
And we should be supporting them if that's what they're going to do. That's what he signed up to do. And we should be supporting them if
that's what they're going to do. It's very important that they're not staying alone.
We don't want to, we don't want a Gary Cooper in high noon scenario, right?
Um, it won't be the, uh, the guy that he sent to jail for, I forget what the guy was sent to jail
for in high noon. It'll be the feds coming.
And everybody's going to go run and hide in their home and their business and close the shutters and leave the sheriff alone to face them.
Shame on us if we do that.
A 2021 survey of the sheriffs by academic researchers
working with a nonprofit Marshall Project
found that more than 200 of the estimated 500 sheriffs who responded
agreed with the group's ideology. Now this is, um, they don't have to respond to this survey.
And I would say that it's higher than that 40%. Because I would say that a lot of people who,
um, would look at this stuff would, uh, say, well, I think this is a setup
and maybe not respond to it, Or maybe they got better things to
do. In addition, AP reporters found at least a dozen U.S. counties influenced by the sheriff's
group have considered, quote, constitutional county, unquote, resolutions over the past two
years. The resolutions range from a simple reaffirmation of support for constitutional
rights of county residents to empowering local government, including sheriffs,
to refuse to enforce state and federal laws they interpret as unconstitutional.
Thank God if you've got a sheriff who signed on to something like that.
That's why I said the most important, and I want to talk about this
because I want to underscore the fact that we're
willing to go into a civil war.
You got 7% in a,
what was it?
A Gallup poll or a Pew poll.
I can't remember,
but it was one of the major polling organizations.
7% of people are willing to use violence to put Trump back in office.
And 11% are willing to use violence to keep him out of office.
We need to understand that the better way is to focus not on a person pro or anti Trump.
You know, this is where the, the, you know, in other words, we've got one out of five
people in America are suffering from Trump derangement syndrome.
They're willing to use violence about Trump one way or the other.
That's derangement.
He's just one guy.
And, you know, he's not going to save us.
If you've got somebody, if you've got good local officials,
that's where the rubber meets the road. And that's where the, um, you can get the federal government's juggernaut of tyranny can lose
traction. If it can't get a local law enforcement there, it can't get any traction for this stuff.
This is not a theory. We saw it. We saw it when it happened in 2020 and in 2021.
So nationwide, there's about 3,000 sheriffs, they said,
whose salaries are funded by taxpayers.
They serve as the chief law enforcement officers in their counties
and are the only elected peace officers in the country.
Especially in rural areas,
sheriffs hold immense sway over what happens in their county.
This bothers the Associated Press.
This bothers the national press.
This bothers the national government.
This is something that we should embrace and support
and know who these people are.
Because again, more than the president,
this is where the rubber meets the road.
Amy Cooter at the Institute Center for Terrorism,
Extremism, and Counterterrorism
thinks that this fits, right?
How horrible.
She says this allows some sheriffs to, quote,
potentially engage in extremism
by not enforcing legal, lawful, legitimate orders.
Oh, you mean like wear a mask and get your jab
or you're going to have to stay home? Was that legal? Was that lawful? Was that legitimate? No. When I took an oath 17
years ago as a sheriff, I took an oath to uphold the constitution, not overstep it, said Troy
Wellman, sheriff of Moody County, South Dakota, and vice president of the National Sheriff's Association.
Good for him.
Good for Sheriff Wellman.
The public facing image of the sheriff's group, they said, is led by white men.
Oh, wow.
Right there.
That just tells you right there how bad it is. It features the American flag.
Can it get any worse?
Yes, it can get worse.
They actually put up the experiences of black civil rights icons
who push back against unjust laws.
It's called nullification.
You know, the picture that they have at the top of the article there.
They have a sheriff that's sitting there.
And on the side, it's got experts agree, you know, about gun control.
Yeah, experts agree.
Gun control works.
Got a picture of Hitler.
It's Castro, Stalin. I don't know the other guy.
It's probably Mao or something.
Yeah, the experts agree that gun control works.
And that's the sheriff there.
That's the kind of sheriff you want.
We're going to take a quick break and we'll be right back. Thank you. Succes! Making sense common again.
You're listening to The David Knight Show.
All right, we just talked about the doctrine of the lesser magistrate,
the power of the sheriff to shut things down.
I want to talk now about how it looks when you've got a really bad mayor because that can make things a lot worse.
And one of the worst mayors on earth is Sadiq Khan in London.
Uh, but before we do real quickly, uh, uh, thank you, uh, Elmo, who, um, uh, is a subscriber
and subscribe star.
I said, uh, David, I'm a FedEx driver who listened to the whole podcast from the previous
day.
I make sure it blasts loudly through the neighborhood.
Thank you for doing that. podcasts from the previous day. I make sure it blasts loudly through the neighborhood.
Thank you for doing that.
Uh, for those of you who are listening to the podcast, to a FedEx truck, uh,
you can find where the show is at the David night show.com. That's where it has links to the podcast as well as to the videos.
We have a full show up every day as a video format.
We also cut out some sections about it each day, but you can also get it as a podcast. That's why a lot of people listen
to it as audio, the David Knight show.com. So thank you, Elmo, for broadcasting that for us.
He says we're not on radio, right? And then let's take a look at this bad mayor in the uk sadiq khan
well this is what he's doing they're going around putting up more and more surveillance stuff i mean
there's not enough cameras in the uk watching everything that people do right talk about big
brother man i tell you what but it's no better here in the united States, really. And so Sadiq Khan is installing ULEZ,
the ultra-low emission zone recognition cameras throughout London.
And those who cannot afford an electric car or a late model vehicle
will be fined 12 pounds a day every time they drive past one of them.
That's about $15.
You take it out of your car, take your car into your driveway, you move it,
you're going to get a fine from Sadiq Khan.
You've got to have zero emissions.
This is what the future is going to look like if we don't stop this stuff.
Citizens are fighting back, and this is what they are doing they're fighting back by coming out of
the dead of night and destroying these things pulling them down and here's a guy all in black
he's wearing his mask he should be celebrated right all in black and he's out there pulling
this thing down he got some guys filming him as they do it.
The people who are the activists who are pulling these cursed things down,
destroying them, call themselves Blade Runners.
They got blades to destroy these things and they are running.
See the authorities disabling hundreds of these things already. So in this back and forth war of the tyrants against the people in London,
I guess they don't have elected sheriffs.
You know, Sheriff of Nottingham was not, I don't think I was elected office.
He was a pretty bad guy.
But in this back and forth war, I guess they don't get a chance to elect a sheriff.
So they got to take it into their own hands.
Cameras to control and punish motorists
are being installed all over London,
even in cul-de-sacs,
even in small residential areas.
Outrage on social media.
And as you saw,
there are people taking action with that.
And so it's getting even worse than that.
What they are starting to do is add toll roads as well.
So there is an article from the Daily Skeptic showing Sadiq Khan dressed up in a three-corner hat,
a stride of horse, and he's got a pistol in his hand as a highway robber.
Now highway robber Sadiq Khan is fleecing London drivers.
Pull up that and show people the graphic.
And they talked about all the different things that he's doing.
You get a fine of 1250 a day if you violate, if you drive a regular car, the ultra low emission zone.
And then there's also a congestion charge of 15 pounds a day.
Because New York is already starting to do that as well.
And then he is activating toll roads all over the place.
Oh, that sounds familiar.
And they start relatively small. I mean, you're talking about two to five
pound, uh, toll, which is, you know, going to be what that's not cheap, really. I mean,
it's only cheap when I think about New York, but they're all get there pretty quickly.
You know, we went back to Texas. One of the things that bothered me was, um, I think it was Google
maps. I was trying to find a place that we'd not gone to.
And when I was living there just the previous year, I had set it up so that my preferences
were no toll roads. And yet it tried to route me onto a toll road. I thought, what's going on?
I went back and looked, I couldn't find any place where I could even tell it. I don't want any toll
roads. So it's still there on Waze.
And so I started using Waze. It looks like they removed that feature on Google Apps because these
multinational corporations all hang together, don't they? And the toll rides can be fairly
expensive. Not as expensive as they are in New York. They are even more than they are in London,
because London is just getting started on this.
They will all creep up.
Talking about mission creep.
That's what it is.
But portraying Sadiq Khan.
Sounds like a villain.
The wrath of Khan.
The charges of Khan, is what we should say.
So he's got tolls and fines and all the rest of Khan, which is what we should say. So he's got tolls and fines
and all the rest of this stuff.
It reminds me of what Lysander Spooner
said about government.
He said the difference between government
and a highway robber
is that a highway robber steals your purse
and leaves you alone.
The government steals your purse
and follows you down the road,
nagging you about everything that you're doing.
So basically,
so Sadiq Khan is actually worse than a highway robber. He's nagging you about everything that you're doing. So basically, Sadiq Khan is actually worse than a highway robber.
He's nagging people about everything.
A grim list was put together by the Daily Skeptic as to how...
I'm sorry, it was Daily Mail originally that put it together.
But this is coming off the Daily Skeptic.
How much it's going to cost to drive a car in London.
Essentially making it, as I said,
a no-go area for motorists. They don't want to have any cars. This is the way it's going to be done in the United States, by making things increasingly expensive. This is the model that
Biden is using as well. We're going to effectively ban this, and we're going to ban that by making it
more and more expensive, and you won't be able to afford it.
And we'll charge you fines and fees and privilege charges and all the rest of this stuff.
And then, of course, you won't be able to afford a car because the cars are going to be too expensive.
Like these poor people in London, they can't afford a new electric car,
which sells for quite a bit more than even the inflated prices of new cars today.
And, you know, I was looking at something about housing and how much it had gone up.
And I was astounded at how much faster the price of housing had gone up than inflation.
Even if you correct, you know, you look at what houses cost in the 1930s and the 40s and 50s and so forth.
Even if you adjust for the government destroying the value of the American dollar, which they call inflation.
Even if you adjust for that, it was in many cases about twice as much.
And why is that?
Well, part of it is that we're building bigger houses.
But another part of it is all the requirements.
And nowhere is that more obvious than in cars.
All the safety accoutrements that are mandated,
escalating the price of the car,
and the government mandating that.
So it's become very expensive for people to buy new cars.
And of course, by doing the electric car stuff,
you've now eliminated people being able to buy cheaper used cars. And of course, by doing the electric car stuff, you've now eliminated people being able
to buy cheaper used cars. And so the whole point of that is to make it unaffordable for them.
And then of course, they're going to tell you they don't have enough electricity on the grid
for anybody to drive a car. That's the way this is going to happen. So the expansion of this and
the daily charges for anybody that doesn't have a brand new car that's electric,
if you want to use your car, it'll be an additional $15 a day. That's going to happen at the end of the month. So people are getting pretty upset about that. They said a stealth.
So as I showed you, the people cutting this stuff down, they've cut down hundreds of these cameras.
So how's the government respond? They say, well, maybe we did the wrong thing. Maybe we should back off a little bit. No, they come up with a counter tactic.
Rather than putting these things up on polls, they're going to put them in a stealth fleet of
camera vans. So they're going to have vans that are loaded with cameras to spy on people,
you know, like the FBI or the CIA or something like that.
Except it's going to be on people who are doing nothing other than driving a car that's not electric and brand new.
They'll enforce the hated levy, the stealth fleet of camera vans,
with the obvious advantage that they will be mobile and difficult to vandalize.
So again, hundreds of these cameras have been destroyed already, so they're going to put them in mobile vans to spy on the people.
They're determined. Well, the other people may be determined as well. We'll see what happens to the
vans. Transport businesses have already been hammered by fuel costs. A lot of them have had
to pack it in after decades of service.
Motorists are already clearly being targeted for a cash grab by Sadiq Khan.
A lot of smaller companies that are delivering things can no longer afford to do it.
And guess what?
You get any deliveries done in these 15-minute cities that they're setting up,
where they have certain zones that you're allowed to go into, you got to go across them, you got to pay for it.
So the price of everything that people buy is shooting up astronomically because everybody's got to pay these fines for crossing these no-go zones in their 15-minute cities in order to deliver a package.
That's the other side of this.
And so now in the UK, they're not happy just to have these mobile spy vans.
They're also going to be putting surveillance
inside of the vehicles.
Surveillance connected to AI
because AI is going to be very good at spying on us.
And you should be concerned about us also it's
hallucination gonna red flag people who are not guilty of anything and of course
the real criminals are the people who are turning this into a surveillance
police state a newly implemented AI camera system tagged as pioneering
technology by proponents has caught nearly 300 drivers neglecting their seat
belts or using their phones.
And just three days,
a hundred people a day,
this technological Marvel installed along one of Devin and Cornwall's busiest
roads has sparked concern over free speech and potential overreach of
surveillance,
especially now that actions taking place inside of a vehicle are being
surveilled.
Big nanny brother.
I said for the longest time that seatbelt laws,
this is not about whether or not seatbelt laws, seatbelts work.
I believed in seatbelts, but when they made it a law that it was required,
I stopped wearing seatbelts for about two or three years and protest.
I never got a ticket, but I'd get a ticket today
if I were to do it if I was in the UK.
Because I saw the idea
that government can force me
to wear a seatbelt,
I saw that as a greater threat to my life
than not wearing a seatbelt in a car.
I'd grown up not wearing a seatbelt in a car.
They didn't have them.
We had metal dashboards as well. So when you have an accident,
you just hose the dashboard off and resell it. You know,
you didn't even have padded dashboards, but you know,
the kids were all just climbing around in the back everywhere.
We went no car seats and nothing like that. But look,
we need to be able to make the decisions ourselves.
And it is no justification to say that this is effective and pragmatic.
It's being dictated to us.
I refuse to have anything dictated to me by the government that they don't have the authority to do.
And they do not have the authority to do this.
And if we give them that authority, that is the most dangerous thing to our health and life and prosperity and liberty and everything else.
We never give them that kind of authority. Never, never. And how was that used?
Well, we can mandate seatbelts so we can tell you got to put a mask on your face.
We can mandate motorcycle helmets so we can tell you got to put a mask on your face.
Oh, so your seatbelt makes me safe. Your helmet makes me safe. Is that what it is?
Yeah, that's supposedly, I guess, what the idea is. So again, the issue is not whether or not it
works. The issue is the government is getting out of its lane and the government is establishing a
very dangerous precedent. And the people who founded this country understood that you have to not allow them to establish
a precedent, even if the initial thing itself is not all that bad.
The Tea Party was over a 3% tax on tea because they understood the principle.
We'll be right back.
Unlike most revolutions where the people rise against a real economic oppression,
in our case here in Boston, we are fighting for purely an abstract principle.
Hear, hear.
It is, however, not nearly so abstract as the young gentleman supposes.
The issue involved here is one of monopoly.
Today, the British government will monopolize the sale of tea in our country.
Tomorrow, it will be something else. ¶¶ Liberty. It's your move.
You're listening to The David Knight Show.
Let's talk about the next threat to our liberty that looms large on the horizon.
Central Bank digital currency.
As if the Federal Reserve and the central banks
had not done enough to destroy this country. You now have in Thailand a political party
that is, the guy is running for re-election. And so what he wants to do is he wants to buy
his re-election by handing out largesse and pork barrel projects to the population. I'll give you
some free money.
And of course, that is going to be one of the key ways that they try to roll this out in third world countries where the people are very poor.
We'll give you some money.
That's what they did.
Bill Gates, working with the Indian government, said,
we'll set up the Aadhaar system to give everybody a number.
And then the poor people will have to get the Aadhaar system
if they want to get any welfare or any medical care.
And so they did.
And so if they have that kind of leverage over you,
that's one of the reasons why they want to impoverish us.
That's one of the reasons why they're pushing for this forced austerity with everything.
And the energy austerity is at the core of this forced austerity.
Every time you have, you know, just look at what's happened. Look at what happened with the
Biden sanctions, the big sanctions, and how it created forced austerity for people in Europe,
and to us to a degree. Same type of thing that we saw happen in the 1970s
with the OPEC embargo.
It kicked off inflation, wrecked the economy,
and you do it by attacking energy at the lower level.
But we had big inflation because of that.
And same type of thing is happening again now.
That's one of the reasons why the climate MacGuffin
is so important for them, because it
allows them an excuse to destroy our energy independence and cheap available energy. What
they call fossil fuels are functional fuels. And so that's one of the key things that they want to
do with the climate MacGuffin is to destroy our ability to have cheap available energy. And that is not just the quality of your life.
It is also life expectancy is tied to cheap available energy.
All these things are tied together.
So what are they doing in Thailand?
Again,
they want to bribe people,
same type of stuff you see Biden doing.
Uh,
I've identified a demographic.
And so let me give them money,
you know,
let's,
let's talk about,
and you know, we'll float this's talk about, and you know,
we'll float this out as a trombloon reparations for black people, but we're really going to give
student loan forgiveness to people because so many, you know, the longer you stay in college,
more likely you are to vote Democrat. Right. And, um, so let's, uh, give the people who have,
uh, uh, you know, foolishly stayed in college all their life and gone into massive amounts of debt.
I loved a letter jacket that I saw somebody put up as a meme.
And so it's one of these letter jackets that you'd see people wear a lot back in the 50s.
I don't know if they even do that anymore.
It's got a big U on it.
And then on the top of the U, on one side, it says I, and on the other one,
it says, oh, so, uh, you know, during Rocky and Bullwinkle, uh, Rocky played football for
Watsamata U. Uh, today the people, they're all going to IOU university. They're going to owe
the university for a long period of time.
But they made that deal.
It's a stupid bargain, but they made that deal.
And so Biden wants to get them off.
So he's handing stuff out.
Well, this Thai political party is doing the same thing.
But instead of handing out tens of thousands of dollars in debt relief to people,
they're going to hand out $280.
It's a poor country.
And they're going to hand it out in the form of digital currency,
but it's going to have some strings attached.
No surprise to see that you're going to have to spend this within six months.
That's what they've talked about with universal basic income and,
uh,
universal welfare is what it is.
Very,
very basic,
uh,
money and welfare.
Uh,
so they are, um, going to put the time limit on it.
That's not new.
But here's something that is a new wrinkle.
They're going to say that you have to spend it
within a four-kilometer radius of your residence.
Oh, here's the 15-minute city thing.
Because if we look at this at a four-kilometer radius,
the way I figure that is um you know
maybe i'm you know did this quickly uh kilometer is um you know um about a half a mile uh so you
know when you round this out you're looking at about the amount you take it as that's the radius
uh it's not the full distance that you can go i I'm not saying you can go half a mile, but it's, you know, think of it as a circle that has a diameter
of a mile, a little over a mile, about a mile and a quarter. And that's where they want you to spend
the money. This is a fifth. And this is something that they will use for the 15 minute city.
Understand the whole thing is to immobilize you.
That's what Sadiq Khan is doing.
And so these people will use the CBDC to immobilize you as well.
The planned move is marketed by the party as an economy-stimulating measure.
You know, kind of like Trump's PPP stuff.
We're going to stimulate the economy after I've locked these people down and
put my boot on their throat and told them that they're not essential.
Uh, the small business that they created is not essential.
If they work for a small business, they're not essential.
Wall Street's essential government is essential.
Uh, and so we're going to lock you down.
Well, uh, and then we're going to give you a little bit of universal basic
income taste with the stimulus checks.
I always thought it was suspicious that Trump called it the PPP because PPP for
the longest time has stood for public private partnership, and that's exactly
what they did, they had a partnership between the big box retailers and wall
street to call themselves essential and shut everybody else down.
And then this PPP, which is supposed to payroll protection program, they called it, that was supposed to help the small businesses.
Instead, more than 50% of the money went to 5% of the people, the big guys.
It was a public-pri private partnership to destroy the middle class
that's what trump's ppp program was not a coincidence i think that they picked that
initial steve mnuchin goldman sachs banker trump's treasury secretary now the programmable digital
currency handout is back in the spotlight and it isn't certain that the party will manage to get its candidate in office nevertheless uh they're going to give it a try and they want to use this
as a way to start to train people that hey you know you can't even use your money outside of
this little one and a quarter mile circle so uh uh there's an article from, uh, James Corbett. I like James Corbett's
analysis on things. And he says, there's a global pushback that's happening with CBDCs and we can
stop them and understand we don't ever have to despair about any of this stuff. Whenever I tell
you all the bad news and everything, uh, understand that there's still more of us than them.
The key thing is that we band together, that we understand what the issue is.
And when we understand what they're trying to do to us, we can just opt out.
We can say, no, I'm going to do it.
They did not end the mask mandates.
We ended it by not complying.
And then they bravely got out in front of the parade in front of the
crowd to pretend that they were leading us and said, oh yeah, we don't need it. Anymore. It worked. not complying. And then they bravely got out in front of the parade, in front of the crowd,
to pretend that they were leading us, and said, oh yeah, we don't need it anymore. It worked.
Isn't that great? You know, all the masks, and the social distancing, and the lockdowns,
and the vaccines, all that stuff worked. And so we don't need them anymore for a while,
but they'll come back, they say. And that's unfortunately what we've let them do.
But, you know, most people, busy in in their life and they're not going to shut
down this usurpation that was done. So they're just going to quietly not comply. And so that's
where we are right now, but they're going to try to move this thing back in. And so James Corbett
says, if you listen to the mainstream media, you'll see that they'll present CBDCs as just this wonderful new
way of living and all the rest of the stuff. I played you the propaganda clips made in Ukraine.
Oh, yeah, by 2030, look at this. We'll be able to do, it'll streamline all these interactions
with government where we have to pay them money and get their permission to do everything. Won't
that be nice? We'll streamline that process for you.
If you listen to the pundits in the alternative media, he says,
you'll believe that they not only represent the greatest threat to human freedom, they do, in our lifetime, but that they'll be forced upon us
by evil central banksters no matter what we do.
Well, at least half of that is right.
They're going to try to force this on us by hook or by crook.
They'll try to deceive us with propaganda. They'll try to strong arm us. And then he talks about
these two tactics. But he takes heart in the fact that in places like Nigeria, where people
understood what was going on, they didn't like it, they were able to actually push back on it.
And he says, and we're seeing some statements by the people who are trying to push CBDC through.
We're seeing some statements that they realize
that they're facing a major headwind.
And so they're trying to change the way they're attacking
through this major headwind.
Not that they're giving up,
but they're going to try to change their strategy.
And so what James says is, James Corbett says,
that should give us hope.
Because why do they have to persuade us?
Because we have the power.
You understand?
We the people have the power.
They can trick us.
They can gaslight us.
But if we speak out and we share this information,
we have the power and we don't have to go into this.
And that's the key insight. I think you need to take away.
You need to take heart in the fact that they're so desperate to try to persuade us.
He said, we all know when the globalists are looking for a population
to test out the latest technology of enslavement,
they turn to Africa, whether you're talking about genetic manipulation,
to vaccine experiments, to agricultural revolution.
And this is no different.
He talks about the failed experiment in Nigeria and how that made them all step back and say, well, what do we do next?
And so he said in the European Union, protesters are already marching against the proposed digital Euro. And, you know, we had a few months ago that phone conversation
where Christine Lagarde thought she was talking to Zelensky,
but she was talking to some Russian comedians pretending to be Zelensky.
And she said, yeah, we got people who are going to try to use cash,
but we're going to shut that down.
It's going to be at least a gray area.
Some people do it, but we're going to make that illegal.
And we're going to decide what we're going to do with CBDC in October of this
year, not even two months away. Well,
the real decision should be with the people shouldn't it.
And if they really understand what's going on, and that's the key thing.
When you ask people, and I don't know if this has changed much or not,
but a few months ago, um, let's say about six months ago,
you asked people about CBDC,
and they didn't really have an opinion about it,
they didn't really oppose it,
but then if you went down point by point, item by item,
and talked about the various features
that get the governments and the central bankers
so excited about this.
Oh, I don't want that. Oh, I don't want that. I don't want that. And so you had about 75% of the
people hated it if it was described to them by feature by feature, but they didn't understand
what CBDC was. That's why the ignorance factor is so dangerous. They can enslave us out of our
ignorance. They can enslave us with censorship and propaganda to keep us ignorant.
He said,
even in Russia,
Putin has signed a central bank of Russia's digital ruble into law.
Uh,
but,
uh,
there's a lot of pushback there.
Recent polls show,
uh,
that,
um,
only 6% of Russians are excited about the opportunity to use their new CBDC.
And one article in Russia's Alternative Press said,
quote,
we can only say that if citizens actively use non-cash transactions,
then they themselves will enter the electronic banking concentration camp.
Yeah, that's exactly what it is. will enter the electronic banking concentration camp.
Yeah, that's exactly what it is.
Financial Times talked to Brookings Institute people,
and it was an op-ed piece that was run.
I'm sorry, they didn't talk to him. It was an op-ed piece that was run by Brookings' senior fellow named Prasad.
He said central banks must not be blind to the threats posed by CBDCs.
He detailed all the nifty features of programmable money, said James Corbett.
But then he said he cautions that central bankers might lose their pretense of political neutrality.
It might be exposed as a self-evident sham. Now, he didn't use those words.
James Corbett did.
But he said, look, if we start doing this stuff,
people are going to see us as instruments of government policy and control,
which they are.
People will see it, though.
And so he said central banks could be viewed as political agents
if their visibility into payment transactions is used for law enforcement or surveillance purposes. Central banks already face threats to their
independence, their credibility, and their legitimacy. Well, I don't take as much hope
out of that as James Corbett does, because I know that this type of thing did not harm social media.
For the longest time before we got the receipts showing that they were the handmaids and the I know that this type of thing did not harm social media.
For the longest time, before we got the receipts showing that they were the handmaids and the deputies of the government in terms of their censorship,
we knew that that was what they were doing.
We knew they were doing the bidding of government.
It's referred to it as, you know, oh, it's a private company.
They can do whatever they want.
I said, that lie that's being sold to you by the Heritage Foundation,
the biggest conservative think tank, by the Cato Institute, the biggest libertarian think tank,
and many others, you know, saying, well, I don't like what they're doing, but they're private
companies and they can do whatever they want. I said, that's a lie. I said, this whole idea of
private companies doing whatever they want, I said, that's a velvet glove over the iron fist
of tyranny. And we've now seen the receipts and we've seen the conversations have been exposed.
Elon Musk has done that as he's trying to establish his credentials with conservatives.
He's shown that.
And so even as it was happening before, and even after we saw the receipts, this still
really has not harmed social media.
So I'm not so sure that even
after people see that, uh, the central banks are being used as a big brother enforcement,
I don't think that's going to harm the central banks and I don't think they need to worry about
it. But he pointed out that what they're doing now is they're shifting to enforce this.
And this is not really even a new tactic,
because if we go back and look at March of 2022,
and that order to the swamp, if you will,
all of the bureaucracy, all the three-letter agencies,
they're all underneath the swamp, if you will, all of the bureaucracy, all the three-letter agencies, they're all underneath the president. And President Biden sent out an order to all of them and assigned
each of these agencies one of four tasks. And so the tasks were, number one, to completely
restructure the financial system. That's the first task.
The second one was how to enforce it.
So what's the Department of Justice going to do
with its FBI and other things?
How are they going to force people to get CBDC?
Then they talked about how they're actually going to write the code for it
and the technological branches and that type of thing.
And then the fourth one was, how are they going to market it to people?
Well, they market it by saying it's good for the environment compared to crypto or something
like that.
So those are the four areas.
They were planning from the very beginning to shove it down our throats.
He says, take the Bank of Israel, for example, when he talks about how they're changing it to cajole us, to coerce us into this gulag.
He says, take the Bank of Israel.
It just released a new white paper purporting to identify, quote, principles for creating acceptance and the network effect for the digital shekel,
or in plain English, ways to convince the rubes to use our virtual slave coins. The plan does not focus on ways to incentivize the use of CBDCs, but rather
on ways to enforce their acceptance, which has always been on the table. The fact that banksters
are now turning from carats of incentives and bonuses and discounts to the stick of government regulation and enforced adoption does not mean that the anti-CBDC movement is doomed to failure.
The fact that the banksters are now actively engaged in the struggle against the general public are signs that we're winning and that they are not inevitable.
But then he goes on to point out that, you know, we still need to make sure that we prepare to operate outside the system.
And that really is the key.
You, hopefully we can get enough public awareness to resist this thing.
I'm not quite so optimistic when I look at what happened over the last three years,
especially what happened in 2020.
I just cannot believe that everybody went along with this.
And so he says,
so seize the momentum of public opinion.
Steer it into actual productive activity.
We can encourage cash Friday awareness.
This is something Catherine Austin Fitz always pushes as well.
Try to make it a point to use cash on Fridays.
He said we can build up local trading communities based on alternative and
complimentary currencies.
We can promote community currencies and precious metals and decentralized
cryptos and barter circles and millions of other forms of survival currency.
And that's exactly right.
Yeah, prepare now.
You know, go to davidknight.gold.
That'll take you to Tony Ardman.
You can start working right now on precious metals and things like that.
We just watched last night.
Watched it again.
Hadn't seen it in a long time.
It was very interesting.
I wouldn't recommend it because of some of the gratuitous nudity
and language.
But if you're sensitive to that.
But it was interesting to see the big short,
to go back and look at it.
And the thing that was really amazing was just how fraudulent the system was.
That was a key thing that I'd seen it years ago.
Went back and watched it again because I was talking about the fact that
the guy that it was written about,
Burry, has now shorted all of the stock markets. He's taken 90% of the billions
of dollars that he made off of the 2008 financial crisis, recognizing it before other people did.
He's taken that money and he's bet 90% of it on the imminent collapse of the stock markets that are overvalued.
Just like you saw the real estate bubble, he sees a massive stock market bubble.
And so when you look at all of that, when you look at the CBDC thing, we don't know
how to time the markets.
At one point, they bring him in because he'd set up all of these instruments to financially
short the real estate market.
And he was having to pay money each month to keep these options going.
And it was getting very expensive.
And some of the people were angry with him that he was reporting to.
And he said, I'm not wrong.
I was just early.
And they said, well, being early is wrong. The timing is a lot
of this. But he was very early, but he still wound up making about 500% return for his people
on all of this stuff. And now he's seeing that. So we can't really time markets like that.
And one of the things that Tony Arteman at Wise wise wolf goal which david knight.gold takes you to as always said is that you know these markets are so fraudulent so rigged and
that was one of the things that you saw in this movie about the 2008 crisis the fact that um
even as it was starting to collapse you know you had several different characters in this that saw what was going on, several key characters.
And one of them who was working for J.P. Morgan, Stanley, goes to the standard of poor's regulators and said, how is it that when these things are defaulting, how can you say that
they're still credit worthy?
Because this is absolute fraud.
And that was, it kept, Egypt was just astounded at how massive the fraud was.
They kept this, one of the reasons why the timing was off was because they kept this
fraudulent system rolling because everybody agreed to look the other way.
Same way that we've seen them do now with the
vaccine adverse effects and everything else. We have a system that is just rampant with fraud
and lies and corruption. But we're talking about IDs right now. Before we get to that,
California is introducing digital IDs starting with driver's licenses. They call it the MDL
for mobile driver's license. The key thing is that you're going to have to get a state-run app,
which you will then put all of your personal information into.
It's about identity theft.
You know, we talk about the big short aspect.
It's not just Burry who is shorting the market.
He put $1.5 billion, which is 90% of his fund, the money that he manages, he put it into
short, so the Standard & Poor's 500 and the NASDAQ. And he's not the only one doing it.
Warren Buffett is doing it as well, selling $8 billion worth of stock. Berkshire Hathaway's sold close to $13 billion worth of shares,
bought less than $5 billion.
He's very bearish on what is happening in the stock market.
It's not just Michael Burry.
When a recession is right around the corner,
Buffett knows that cash is king,
particularly when he can earn a decent rate of interest on it,
said a professor at Johns Hopkins University to Newsweek.
Apparently, Buffett anticipates the U.S. economy is headed for troubled waters, and I think
he's right, says the guy who served on President Reagan's Council of Economic Advisors.
He told that to Newsweek.
And then in May, another economics professor told Newsweek,
the three big risks for Buffett are China, the U.S. banking sector,
and commercial real estate.
And Gerald Slenty has been saying this for a very long time,
commercial real estate.
He's been talking about this for a couple years,
ever since we saw the lockdown.
He goes, it's going to destroy them. Nobody's going back to work. They got a very low occupancy
rate. We talk about it usually when he comes back on, but now this is really percolating out there.
And as Gerald Salenti says, you know, the, the banking sector, their big risk is the commercial
real estate stuff. As the interest rates are going up, a lot of this commercial real estate property
is on adjustable rate mortgages, the same kind of mechanism we saw that pushed people out of
their homes in the 2008 mortgage crisis. And, uh, so this is the kind of exposure that's there.
It could take down the banks. And that was one of the things in the movie, the big short,
uh, the guy who was working for JP Morgan, they were part of
it. And JP Morgan was going to get looking like it was going to go out of a business or Morgan
Stanley. And he had a, one of the guys that worked for him kept hammering. He said, we're going to
lose everything. Uh, the bank's going to go down. We're going to lose everything. If we don't sell
this stuff now, he goes, it's too soon, too soon. And, uh, finally tells the guy, he says, uh, uh, no, they're not stupid.
They knew what was going to happen. They knew they were going to get bailed out. You know,
he waited until they bailed them out. He told the guy they're going to, the government's going to
bail these guys out. Look at them. They know what they're doing. They're not panicking. They're not
stupid. They know they can get the government to bail them out. So the people are going to get hurt are the small people.
And that's exactly what did happen.
And so the banking sector is at risk because of commercial real estate.
The government will bail them out.
But what's that going to do to the economy? And when you look at China, China has the same kind of issues.
China has overbuilt
to a phenomenal degree. Evergrande, which is their commercial real estate company,
I mean, they have overbuilt on a scale that is far higher than what we're seeing here
in America because of the lockdown and the vacancy rates of commercial real estate.
And so I assume that that is what he's talking about. I don't think it's the Chinese, the risk of war and that type of thing,
that type of aggression.
That's not what he's talking about.
He's talking about the fact that they are financially
overbuilt themselves into a hole.
So as they talk about that, they said,
so these three risks and what's happening in China economically, the banking sector, the commercial real estate, these are very real risks economically.
Just one of them would be enough to derail growth, and yet we're dealing with all three of them at the same time.
And so that's the key.
That's the key. That's the key to, by the way, Gerald Slenty will give you 10% off
if you subscribe to Trends Journal at TrendsJournal.com.
And if you put in the code Knight,
he'll give you 10% off.
A great publication, always ahead of what is happening there.
Interest rates look like they're headed to 8%.
And the basis, the spread of what the banks are getting the money at
versus what they're loaning the money out is about twice what it typically is,
which they say is characteristic of a recession.
So there's so many signs.
That interest spread, the concerns of Warren Buffett as well as Burry.
So we're going to take a quick break, and we will be right back. ¶¶ Thank you. Analyzing the globalist's next move.
And now, The David Nutshell.
A 33-year-old nurse, called the worst child killer in modern British history has been given a very rare whole life sentence.
And what that means is that she is not eligible for parole ever. You get a life sentence. Well,
you can get a parole at some point in time. What they do here in the United States is they give you multiple consecutive life sentences to make sure that you can never get out there. They have a
thing they call the whole life sentence.
And what was she doing?
Was she killing people with remdesivir?
Killing them with ventilators?
Killing them with jabs?
Again, it's one of the things that really sticks in your throat.
The fact that people like the hospitals doing the bidding, being financially incentivized
to kill people by Trump and by Biden, that nobody accounts for any of this stuff.
And of course, what she was doing was essentially aborting kids in a way that they don't like
to kill kids. It's amazing how we divide these,
you know, somebody kills a child, it can be heinous and they can go to life, a whole life
sentence and that type of thing. Or if you set up an abortion clinic and you get a lot of money,
they'll celebrate you for that. Right? It really is insane. You attack a pregnant woman, shoot them, knife
them, whatever, you know, some kind of violence or something harmed them. You kill the baby.
They come after you for murder. But if the doctor kills the baby because the mother wants the baby
killed, well, then the government subsidizes it,
right? How insane is this country with all this stuff? Life does not enter into it.
So it was the longest UK murder trial ever. She was convicted last week of seven murders of
newborn children at the hospital where she worked. Sentenced to a whole life order, rarely used
sentence in British law,
which means she'll never be allowed to leave prison.
The judge said she was guilty of cruel and cynical,
quote, campaign of child murder, unquote,
which is motivated by a deep malevolence
bordering on sadism.
The judge said she had acted arbitrarily,
I'm sorry, she had acted contrary. It's our legal
system that is acting arbitrarily, isn't it? She acted contrary to the natural human instinct to
protect children. Doesn't that describe the entire abortion industry? And had told many lies to protect herself.
Again, the abortion industry and the politicians who support it,
including projecting an outward image of being a conscientious,
hardworking, knowledgeable nurse to cover for the murders.
Yeah, it's not just sadism, it's Satanism and all of this stuff too.
No, you've got to, we're projecting a conscientious, hardworking image. We're talking
about freedom and bodily autonomy. The same people who told you you had to get the jabs,
you had to wear the mask, you had to lock down all the rest. They don't believe in
your bodily autonomy about health decisions. It's all a fraud, isn't it? Again, she had done
this as an abortionist. She'd be celebrated and she'd be rich now, but she's going to be going to jail for the rest of her life because she did it
outside of the abortion industry. That's all that changed.
The children ranged from just a few hours old to a few days old.
In California, they're pushing perinatal murder of children.
What does that mean?
Para means around the edge, right?
And so it's around the time of birth, just before, just after.
How long just after?
Well, a lot of the advocates have said for several days.
They're advocating and trying to put into law what they sent this woman to prison for life.
She should be in prison for life.
It is heinous what she did.
What I don't understand is how they excuse it.
When the government does it.
When the government sanctions it.
I guess the problem is, is like everything else in life, you've got to ask the government permission first.
She didn't follow the, Simon, mother, may I rule?
May I kill these kids?
Oh, yes, of course.
You just ask us for the permission first.
These kids already had poor health.
They were born with complications, so she decided to kill them.
She injected them with air to kill them.
She poisoned some of them by adding, by using medicine.
She killed some of them
by injecting them with air. We kill people by
injecting them with Trump's mRNA shots.
Or we
inject them with air in the ventilators and kill them.
Right?
Or we
give them remdesivir, which will kill them. And the FDA says, well, the remdesivir which will kill them and the fda says well the remdesivir
i know it destroys the kidneys but we're going to approve it even for patients who have kidney
disease because the thing that's important is the money we don't care about your health
the judge said you killed seven fragile babies
and you attempted to kill six others.
Some of your victims were only a day or a few days old.
All of them were extremely vulnerable.
See, one of the things that Kermit Gosnell was convicted of,
two babies that he killed,
he directly killed them.
He should have, according to their insane protocol,
he should have these babies that survived his abortions, he should have left them on the table
to die. No medical care, no food, nothing. Just leave them there until they die.
They cynically call that comfort care. And the in the gosnell trial who had all said
well no we believe um we we don't want to make abortion illegal that was a prerequisite for
being on the jury they were un they were astonished they could not fathom that that was a policy
explained to them by a woman who was an abortionist. And then America was surprised
when we had the governor of Virginia, who had medical training, tell people that's called
comfort care. Governor Nall said, yeah, that's standard procedure. A child is born, you don't kill them, you just leave them to die.
How is that different?
In many cases, I think that may be worse.
And they cynically call that comfort care.
It is now claimed that senior doctors in that hospital where she worked
noticed a pattern with babies underneath her care
and they attempted to get her removed from the ward there are doctors who noticed a
pattern with the ventilators with the hospital death protocols that they had
with the injections and they tried to get it stopped and so just like this
with these doctors who tried to stop this nurse who was killing babies,
they were shut down by the hospital management.
They said they were shut down by hospital management.
It is claimed the hospital even instructed doctors who had raised the alarm to write to her to apologize for raising their concerns.
A now retired consultant pediatrician, Dr. John Gibbs,
said, we began to realize that we were in direct confrontation with the hospital managers and we had no choice but to fight
and to make sure that the police got involved.
By that stage, it was us or her.
Isn't that what is happening right now with the hospital protocols and the vaccines and all the rest of this stuff?
You know, when are we going to have, and we have had finally, some medical professionals who speak up and they get hammered down.
You know, the expression out of Japan is the nail that sticks up will be hammered down.
So keep your head down, right?
Or they're going to hammer you on the head.
I've been told that some of the senior nurses were strongly defending her,
and they just couldn't believe that she had done anything wrong.
Managers closed their minds to the fact that she could have done that as well.
And that is what we see happening across the hospitals with the jabs,
with the hospital death protocol.
And we see the doctors or anyone, nurses, who talk about it.
They're purged out.
They're attacked.
And so we have in some states, especially in Ohio,
we have constitutional amendments to the state constitution to enshrine abortion into law.
That is what is happening.
They just had an election about that as to whether it's going to be a simple majority
or whether it had to be a super majority to amend the constitution,
preparing this for the election that is coming up soon. And when you look at this and look at how these people are trying to enshrine
abortion into law,
I'll say it again that a lot of these politicians who are saying,
well,
I vote for me and I'm going to make abortion a federal issue again,
instead of a state issue.
And you got a lot of pro-life
organizations who are doing that as well and let me tell you this is simply for their benefit
the pro-life organizations and the federal politicians want this wedge issue for their benefit
because that's what's the only thing that's going to benefit from it. If you make this a federal issue again, they will make abortion legal everywhere.
It's just a matter of time.
It'll be a short period of time.
And as I've said before, when the federal government prohibits abortion, if they were
to get it their wish and prohibit abortion at the federal level with a law, the states
would push back against this.
New York, California, all the states that are pro-abortion
would push back against it.
They would assist people in getting abortions just as they are now.
You would not be able to stop it.
But on the other hand, if the liberals get control of this, again, you make this a federal law,
you have the Congress is going to tell everybody nationally
at what point you can do abortions, they will make it at or beyond birth.
I guarantee you.
And once they do that, the conservative states that right now
where abortion is illegal,
they will obey that. They will not criminalize abortion. I know that because we watched this
happen for 50, 60 years, 50 years with Roe v. Wade, right? All you had to do was have a federal
court decision saying, well, you can't stop people from killing babies at this age.
And all the conservative states said, oh, OK, we won't do anything about it.
Ohio voters will vote on the amendment this fall.
They'll make abortion legal up to birth.
Activists in places like North Dakota, Oklahoma, Montana are in the early days of getting a draft amendment approved for the ballot vote. The ballot measures put forward in states across the country are a coordinated effort
on behalf of the abortion lobby to impose their extreme agenda on pro-life states, said
Stephen Billy, vice president of the state affairs for Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America.
But again, many people will, you know, Trump has called protection of life. It was done in Florida.
Oh, that's too harsh. That's too extreme.
No extremism in defense of Liberty.
And you can't have Liberty without having life extremism in defense of life
is no vice.
And trying to make this a federal issue again is no virtue.
And that's, you know, the people who are doing that, you've got people like Lindsey Graham,
people like Donald Trump, people like Tim Scott, people like Pence, all of them want
to make it a federal issue again.
You've got a lot of pro-life organizations that want that because, look, that's their whole reason for being.
That's their whole reason.
Their organizations would shrink down to just local state chapters.
And not even that.
It would be even worse for them.
A lot of these national pro-life organizations.
Because if you allow this on a state-by-state basis, there's no need for these pro-life organizations. Because if you allow this on a state-by-state basis,
there's no need for these pro-life organizations
in the states that are pro-life.
And nobody's going to really support them
in the states that are against life either.
So that really is for the life of their organization
that they're trying to make this a national issue again.
Al Mohler, who is head of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary,
had a lot of issues with what he was saying during the vaccine debacle, vaccine abomination.
He was pushing that, and he got a lot of heat over the weekend for something he put on Twitter
he posted for Christ's people the sex issue was a gospel issue sexual adultery
and spiritual adultery go hand in hand well that part of it is right actually
but people brought up the fact that he had endorsed Trump during the 2020 presidential
election, even though he refused to endorse him in 2016.
In October 2016, he wrote an op-ed for the Washington Post.
And Al Mohler said in that first election where Trump got elected, he said, quote,
evangelical support for Trump is a horrifying embarrassment,
a price for possible political gain that is simply unthinkable and too high to pay.
And I got to say, I just disagree with him on his politics and pretty much everything.
He was wrong in 2016 to oppose Trump, I believe,
because I looked at it from the same standpoint as Julian Assange,
who is now, they've been, Trump and his Attorney General, William Barr, trying to kill Julian
Assange. But Julian Assange said at the time, he said, we know who Hillary Clinton is. We know
she's a criminal. We know she's a warmonger and a murderer. But we don't know that about Trump.
We don't know who he is in terms of this stuff.
So we give him a chance.
And then Trump shows who he is and does more to come after Julian Assange than anybody had, including Obama.
And then we saw what Trump did to the rest of us in 2020. And so it was in that context that I could not understand
why certainly the argument that he made in terms of Trump's personality and his personal life,
that was a real concern. And I said that from the very beginning. I said, here's a guy who
would not obey his, not keep his oath to his
wives. You think he's going to keep his oath to the constitution. I was skeptical, but I knew what
Hillary Clinton was. So I thought, well, all right, I'm not going to vote for Clinton. I'm not going
to vote for, um, you know, the libertarian candidate who doesn't support liberty either.
And, uh, so when it came to 2020, I didn't even bother to vote because of this and uh and yet
in 2020 al moeller began to support trump and he was repeating the yale talking points the ones
that were part of that psychological study oh the vaccine is a miracle. Oh, it's a moonshot. Oh, it is love thy neighbor to get your vaccine.
You need to obey the government.
And no, this is nothing to worry about.
There's no ethical concerns with this at all.
And this isn't training for the mark of the beast.
We're not normalizing that.
We're not moving the Overton window toward the mark of the beast.
All of that stuff.
Every bit of it was a lie.
He was ethically wrong about everything about 2020.
And then he endorsed Trump to boot in 2020.
In spite of the fact that he had said previously
he's been married three times,
he's flaunted Christian sexual mores,
building his fortune and his persona on the playboy lifestyle
under any normal circumstances,
Trump would be the realization of evangelical nightmares, not the center of evangelical hope.
And I think what we've seen here is that character matters. But Al Mohler didn't see that.
He didn't see any problems with what Trump had done. Even in 2020, he was applauding that.
The same guy who will, you know,
trash his oath to his wives and brag about it,
break his oath, his marriage vows to them,
he will also break his oath to the Constitution
and brag about it.
And he will also break his promises to his supporters
and then fleece them
for money.
This is what he did.
It was the president's appointment to certain high-level
officials and his actions regarding
religious freedom and abortion that won
Mueller over. What?
That's one of his biggest failures
from the very beginning. The people that he put around
him. People, personnel, or policy.
And he surrounded himself with like-minded people.
Rex Tillerson, a climate alarmist,
who I know was the CEO of Exxon.
But I said he was a climate alarmist
when Trump was considering him.
Knew what he was going to do, and we saw what he did.
He fought Trump on the Paris Climate Accord and everything.
Well, he didn't fight him.
Trump didn't put up any fight on that at all, but he was influencing him for the wrong side of that.
And Rex Tillerson pushed the grooming of children by bringing in homosexual counselors and boy scouts and homosexual scouts in.
Al Mohler didn't have a problem with that.
It was the president's appointment of certain high-level officials
that won Mohler over.
That's great.
Put people like Rex Tillerson in,
in one of the highest positions.
Last fall, Mohler said he has plans to vote Republican for the rest of his life
as long as the party opposes abortion and supports religious liberty.
Supporting religious liberty?
Again, where was Al Moeller in 2020 when churches were shut down in this country
for the first and only time?
Banning worship, the people that Trump appointed, the people that Trump put in charge,
he put Fauci in charge of the lockdown and did not fire him.
Mandating untested shots, having to have government permission to worship,
the jab passport, all the rest of this stuff.
Oh, that's good.
Mueller said the misjudgment of true fundamentalism is the belief
that all disagreements concern first-order doctrines. Thus, third-order issues are raised to a first-order importance,
and Christians are wrongfully and harmfully divided. So we shouldn't divide over the Mark
of the Beast test. We shouldn't divide over the unethical tests that they do using aborted babies even murder-for-hire and
using them to create a transhuman mice that they can test their abominations on
we shouldn't worry about the mark of the beast training Steven Simpson said to
molar yeah this is very true and it's a significant reason why no Christ
followers should ever support the rapist, sexual predator, serial adulterer that Trump in any way, shape, or form.
He is not to be trusted, not to be cheered, not to be idolized.
So that is exactly where we are at this point. Um, the, uh, let's just, uh, let's just go to the Babylon B
here for the final word about this six ways that Jesus failed to love his neighbor, because,
you know, that was a key thing that Al Mohler and Curtis Chang and Robert Jeffries, who was a
big pastor in Dallas supporting Trump.
Love your neighbor.
Get the shot.
Six ways that Jesus failed to love his neighbor and how we can do better.
Never once in all four Gospels did Jesus wear a mask when he healed the sick.
Shame on him.
Jesus never explicitly supported the welfare state as practiced in the United States.
Even though he came to a people that was oppressed by Roman police brutality,
he never liberated them.
Just like George Floyd and the neck of Derek Chauvin,
the Jewish people, an ethnic minority, had languished under the rule of brutal Roman racists.
And Jesus didn't change any of that.
And then finally,
he created humans male and female.
How hateful can you get?
I mean, that is just
truly astounding, isn't it? That he would
create humans male and female?
Just not
inclusive at all.
Now, there's an op-ed piece on American
reformer, America, plead with your God.
And they refer back to the experiences of one of the Puritans who came
to this country, Thomas Hooker, who was severely
persecuted in the UK and England
for his religious beliefs.
And he achieved prominence in the 1620s as a preacher, a teacher, a lecturer.
And so they came after him.
They charged him.
They indicted him.
They summoned him to the court of high commissioner for his Puritan practices.
He was arrested and tried and before they carried out sentence to crop his ears
and to brand his face uh he escaped to holland just like you know paul had his um his friends
lower him in a basket.
You know, you don't have to, you know, this whole idea of Romans 13,
well, you just do whatever the government says.
No, you don't.
No, you don't.
And so after he went to Holland, like many of the other pilgrims
who came to the U.S., eventually came to the United States,
and he became known as the father of Connecticut.
Before all this and prior to his departure,
he preached a final sermon that was titled
The Danger of Desertion.
And what he was talking about was
a nation deserting God, as Solzhenitsyn said.
What is the matter with Russia?
Well, we have forgotten God. And so he points out that if you desert God, as Solzhenitsyn said, what is the matter with Russia? Well, we have forgotten God.
And so he points out that
if you desert God, God will desert
your nation.
He said
at the time,
I made three primary points about
it in his sermon.
He said,
for a nation,
Jesus didn't die for any nations. He died for a nation, you know, Jesus didn't die for any nations.
He died for the people that the Father gave him, and he finished that work.
But he didn't die for America.
He didn't die for Britain, right?
He died for specific people.
And he says God takes away from people, takes away his love love from people as well as his means.
Now, God can bless a nation that honors him,
but he can also curse and abandon a nation that dishonors him, like ours,
like this abortion stuff we were talking about, or any other number of things.
For Hooker, the means of God are varied,
but in this case it refers to God's active care
flowing from his presence.
The means are the ways in which God has ordained right worship
and provides security for a people.
Number two, God takes away the protection
by taking down their walls of defense,
by taking down their magistrates and their ministers.
When you look at the mess that our government is in,
when you look at the people that rule over us,
who can't even find their way off of stage,
who freeze up as they're talking,
do you not see the hand of God's judgment on us
when you look at these corrupt individuals in both parties?
When you look at what they have done to us and gotten away can you not see that the magistrates and the ministers have been corrupted
that is a telltale sign of how god works in terms of turning against the country and destroying it
the magistrates and ministers of god serve as a wall of defense for a nation that has
covenanted with god and god will remove these
means of protection when god leaves a people and thirdly when the teaching and the counseling
become rotten with bribery and false teaching does that not describe
the institutions that train our children in every respect.
On Rockfin, Guard Goldsmith.
Hey, Guard, it's good to see you there.
Thank you for the tip.
This is a different form of interest spread.
We're talking about the financial stuff.
He says, thank you for helping to spread real interest in liberty and Christian virtue, David.
Well, thank you.
Appreciate that.
And happy birthday day after to Travis as well.
Travis is back in the saddle today.
Thank you, Gard, for the birthday wishes.
And thank you, everyone, from yesterday.
Yes, yes.
Thank you to the people who left tips for him.
Thank you.
On Rockfin, John John says, David, they want barbs. Yeah, I guess they want, I don't know if they want.
Oh, sorry.
That was an autocorrect.
He said they want Barabbas.
Oh, Barabbas. Oh, okay. I was thinking, what does he mean by barbs? They want Barbies?
Maybe they want the whip and the scourge. Yeah, they want Barabbas is what they want.
So we're going to take a quick break. We'll be right back. ¶¶ In a world of deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.
You're listening to The David Knight Show.
Well, as we move into the brave new world that they're preparing for us,
I remember a few years ago as everybody was talking about,
you know, by now we were supposed to have flying cars, right?
And I guess part of the problem,
I don't think that's going to necessarily solve anything,
but I think it is interesting that the flying cars are getting closer and closer to us.
Uh, they now have quiet thrusters for flying cars.
I guess it'll sound something like that.
You know, the Jetson sound that it's going to make.
This is something they'd been given a multimillion dollar grant from DARPA.
To develop quiet thrusters.
Well, you can understand why a defense agency would want that, but now, uh,
they're going to be using it for vertical takeoff and landing,
uh,
for these,
um,
you know,
flying cars.
It's now,
uh,
being released,
uh,
for commercial use.
The company has,
uh,
a thing they call the epiphany transporter.
Uh,
they have released specs on the new aircraft they said it's capable
of 160 miles per hour with 300 plus mile range generates less than 55 decibels of noise at a
distance of 50 feet so it's pretty quiet like those jets and things problem is um it's electric
problem is there's going to be restrictions on who can do it.
And it's really only going to be used, uh, as probably as a taxi service, uh, because
they're going to take away your private ability to, uh, to drive and to, um, uh, go place
your private transportation.
Everything is going to be controlled by the government and by the, uh,
corporate agents that they use.
The epiphany transporter can accommodate two people, their luggage, plus golf
clubs, because that's all you need.
Right?
Golf clubs.
Yeah.
That's going to be the people that are going to be able to afford to use this.
Well, darling, what should we do today?
I don't know.
Let's get placed some golf.
All right.
I'll ring up the Epiphany Transporter and we'll head out.
The company said the thruster technology has been in development for a quarter of a century.
Originally developed under a $5 million DARPA grant, the NASA-proven ducted thrusters have undergone a quarter of a century of refinement.
So that's about to hit us as well.
The news of the exceptionally quiet, neighborhood-friendly, electric, vertical takeoff and landing comes
as the FAA has published the Advanced Air Mobility Implementation Plan to ensure safe
skies for flying taxi operations by 2028.
So there's where you get your flying car.
Not only are they making every dystopian sci-fi novel come true,
but they're actually going to make the Jetsons come true too as well.
In a very dystopian way, probably.
I think it was, I think George owned his flying car,
but you won't be owning your flying car.
It'll have limited flight operations, and the people who want to do it will have to get a pilot's license, get rated for the aircraft and all the rest of this stuff.
And, uh, so that's what that's going to look like. Meanwhile, if you start to realize what's
going on, as Gerald Santee always says, when the people realize, um, what they're doing,
they take us to war. U S intelligence is saying that ukraine's counter
offensive is a failure u.s intelligence community has assessed that ukraine's spring counteroffensive
will fail to meet its core objectives and one of the things that they said was the ukrainians just
are too averse to getting killed you know that's some shame on them um massive ukrainian losses
they say that it's estimated they don't have any exact casualty figures they're not talking about
it but perhaps as many as 500 000 ukrainians killed in this failed counter offensive but hey
it was worth it right we said we're going to fight him for the last Ukrainian from the very beginning.
And just like Madeleine Albright,
when she was asked about the death of 500,000 Iraqi kids
based on their sanctions, she said it was worth it.
Didn't even have the decency to deny that body count figure.
No, it's worth it.
And so the U.S. government thinks it's worth it,
even though they are losing in this counteroffensive.
The U.S. and the U.K. concluded that Ukrainian forces would suffer major losses,
but believed that Kiev would ignore the losses and maintain the offensive at full scale,
which Zelensky is not disappointing in that.
He doesn't care about the lives of his people any more than nato does in
the first week of fighting ukraine incurred major casualties against russia's well-prepared defenses
despite having a range of newly acquired western equipment including bradley fighting vehicles and
german-made leopard two tanks and they cut through that stuff pretty quickly. I don't even look at the pictures of what's happening to the Ukrainians in that.
There's aerial drone footage of tank crews and armored personnel carriers
getting disabled in the minefields and soldiers trying to get out,
and they're so scattered with mines.
I've seen two people, one of them killed as he got out of blown up to bits and
another one's leg got blown off. I'm just not watching that stuff anymore. It makes me sick
because there's no reason for it. Even the Pentagon is saying, well, you know, we had a
chance where we could have done peace, but we missed that opportunity. So let's just keep
killing people on both sides. Retired Lieutenant Colonel Daniel Davis wrote earlier this week, Ukraine also suffers from a
chronic lack of air defense capacity, inadequate number of howitzers, artillery shells, insufficient
electronic warfare systems, a dearth of missiles, perhaps most crucial of all, barely 25% of the
demining capacity needed.
When Ukraine launched its offensive across the board on June 5th,
it should have surprised no one in Kiev, Washington, or Brussels
that they ran into a Russian buzzsaw.
More proof that the U.S. sees Ukraine and Ukrainians as cannon fodder.
The Wall Street Journal came to a similar conclusion as that retired lieutenant
colonel. Wall Street Journal said when Ukraine launched its big counteroffensive this spring,
Western military officials in New Kiev didn't have all the training or the weapons,
from shells to warplanes, that it needed to dislodge Russian forces. But they hoped Ukrainian
courage and resourcefulness would carry the day. And they haven't.
Well, you know, courage will only take you so far.
And I guess you've got to be pushed the rest of the way by a traitor to your country who has absolutely no concern.
And they knew that going in. And I'll just mention it briefly again.
Arestovich in 2019 said in three years, we're going to go to war with Russia. We're not going to have peace. You know, they had been shelling the breakaway
areas that identified with Russia for eight years. They ran on a campaign of peace. And the reporter
asked him, is there any chance for peace? No, it's going to get worse. We're going to go to war with
Russia. That's horrible. She said, he said, no, it's actually a good thing. The country will be devastated.
Havoc is the word that he used in the translation.
But we'll get into NATO.
That's it.
You know, they get, Zelensky gets into the club.
And he's in all the important globalist clubs, isn't he?
And it really doesn't matter what happens to his country.
And our leaders are exactly the same.
Our leaders are pushing him to do that.
It's kind of like what I saw in Iran.
You know, when I was in college,
talked to Iranian students who were telling us
about the police state, the secret police, the SAVAK,
created and trained by the CIA to oppress the people.
It's our government who is pushing these wars.
Our government that's doing the coups. Our government that's creating the secret police to torture and the people. It's our government who is pushing these wars. Our government that's doing the coups.
Our government that's creating the secret police
to torture and kill people.
Oh, but we're the good guys, right?
They would never do that to us, right?
Yeah, right.
In Tennessee, we have a new stadium
that is beginning construction in Nashville
for, what is the team? The Tennessee
Titans. I think it's a football team, right? $2.1 billion. Now, you know, Tennessee has been pretty
good in terms of fiscal management. They've cut down a lot of taxes and they've got a big surplus
in spite of that. And yet, when you see this type of thing happening, uh, it is very
concerning on the horizon. Uh, we see the governor pushing his special session for gun control,
a Republican governor, the governor pushing toll roads and Nashville, a $2 billion stadium being
built for a billionaire owners who will have multimillionaires
playing the sport and the people have to pay for that.
They anticipate that's going to open in 2027.
You have to wait a year, I guess, before you can get your flying taxi to go
watch the games.
Jeffrey Tucker has an op-ed piece, What Ayn Rand Got Right.
That's kind of interesting. I have mixed, What Ayn Rand Got Right. That's kind of interesting.
I have mixed feelings about Ayn Rand.
She can do some really good polemics in her books.
But one of the things that concerns me about her is the fact that she
really didn't have a moral foundation.
She had a philosophy that they called objectivism.
But I just told you last week about how somebody took the Ayn Rand Institute to task because the Ayn Rand Institute is now pushing all the diversity, equity, inclusivity stuff
and pushing it for LGBT.
What exactly is objective about the subjective ideas about gender and all the
rest of the stuff that comes from the LGBT? Nothing at all. They've completely surrendered
to it. And of course, Alan Greenspan was part of her inner circle, knew her personally.
And he was against the planned economy. And then he becomes head of the federal reserve and plans the economy.
Yeah.
There's some strange things going on there because it's not enough to be right about politics and about economics.
What's missing is a foundation of ethics.
And that was what was missing from Ayn Rand.
Jeffrey Tucker says there's a tendency in world ideas to divide thinkers
into saints and to witches.
And so, you know, again, we understand that everybody has got
good aspects and bad aspects.
What we're talking about is her characters, her books,
and her philosophy here.
He said few people have been victimized by this habit
as much as the novelist and philosopher Ayn Rand.
People might encounter her work in high school
and decide to adopt it as a personal credo, only to find out later in life that the world is
more complicated than she describes, and then they turn against her. Again, she doesn't have
a sufficient moral foundation. She was an excellent polemicist, but she was a humanist and an atheist. And I know I met a lot of people who,
when I started getting active in the Libertarian Party,
they were in the Libertarian Party
simply because they were objectivists.
And for them, it was a religion, a humanist religion.
He says, this is unfortunate
because she was a singularly insightful intellectual
from whom there is a vast amount to learn.
And that is true.
We can learn from her.
We can even learn from horrible people like Voltaire.
The fact that, hey, to paraphrase what he said,
I may disagree with what you say, but I'll defend to my death your right to say it.
We can learn something from that, right?
But be careful with any of the
philosophers that you jump into. Because again, the key thing, all of this stuff is downstream,
or maybe it rests upon, we could say, rests upon their foundation, the worldview.
And you can build a worldview. If you build it on sand, it's going to crumble, right?
They haven't built it on anything that is substantial. They haven't built it build a worldview. If you build it on sand, it's going to crumble, right? They haven't built it on anything that is substantial.
They haven't built it on a rock.
She talked about economic freedom, and that's absolutely true.
She was excellent on that.
She talked about envy and the evil of envy.
But the objectivists will also tell you that greed is good.
And so there's a mixture of that.
She also talked about moral courage.
You know, when I was, um, and she had a great deal to say about dystopias run by government
bureaucracies and all the rest of that stuff.
So there's, there's things that we can see there, but there's things that are missing.
There was a contest that I entered back in 2008, maybe.
I don't remember.
It was to celebrate Atlas Shrugged.
And so they wanted you to celebrate that.
So I tried to pick some of the positive stuff that Ayn Rand had done.
I didn't win the contest.
I forget who set it up, but it was, again,
it was to celebrate the anniversary of Atlas Shrugged. John Stossel was one of the judges.
He voted for me to win, but I didn't win. But I always appreciated that. He told me that.
But I want to play for you because I think it is kind of interesting what has happened in this country.
And again, I did that back in like 2008, 2009, I guess.
And the date I picked, I did it, I remember America.
I remember before all this stuff happened.
And listen when I talk about what actually has transpired now in the interim. And I picked the date of 2030
because we knew even then what their date was.
That was well before.
That was still when they were calling this agenda,
Agenda 21.
That was before they started calling it the UN 2030 Agenda.
But we knew that was where they were happening
or where they were headed
and we knew what they wanted to have happen. Uh, so here is, um, I remember America.
I remember America. Sure. You can still find it on a map, but nobody older than 20 thinks this
is America. Even if coordinates are the same, we've lost our compass. You don't have a direction
without reference, a true north. For America, it was liberty. When we lost the love of liberty,
our understanding of liberty, it was just a matter of time before the rest of it was lost.
Some think it started when the auto companies were nationalized, or the police state to control the
internet, or when certain companies couldn't fail
because their relationship with politicians
made them too big to fail,
and the rest of us, without political influence,
were too small to succeed.
Sure, that all happened pretty quickly.
It was just a couple of years,
but liberty had been gradually devolving for decades.
Some of the more astute, like Ayn Rand,
saw it about 50 years before others.
She warned us, but people didn't believe it could happen here until it did. Laws had been used to
loot productive individuals and businesses, but in the new millennium under Bush, then Obama,
graft, corruption, and crony capitalism were no longer hidden behind closed doors.
The looters and their laws came out of hiding like rabid animals that were no longer afraid of humans. It was brought into the spotlight and it was celebrated as enlightened economic
policy. Ayn Rand asked the question Atlas shrugged that the rest of us were asking 60 years later.
Which failing financial institution will the administration pluck from the flames of crisis
and which will it let roast? Which market or investment technique will the regulators bless,
and which, in a capricious change of rules, will it condemn or outlaw? As John Galt said in his
radio address, you decided you had a right to your wages, but we had no right to our profits.
You called it selfish and cruel that men should trade value for value. You've now established an
unselfish society where they trade extortion for extortion.
People who had never produced or managed anything tried to manage every aspect of our lives,
and they brought production to a standstill. And eventually, they decided to micromanage
the food supply in the name of fairness and safety. And we all know what happened then.
Fiction can be a powerful influence, for good or bad. It's too bad more people didn't read Atlas Shrugged.
They might have realized where this was heading.
Yeah, well, that was 15 years ago.
We could see where it was heading at that time, unfortunately, couldn't we?
People who had never produced or managed anything
want to produce and manage everything.
Let's see.
You want to start naming names there?
Biden, Lala Harris, all the rest of it.
Yeah, they want to manage and produce everything.
They want to manage everything right into the ground.
Rockfin, thank you, Truck Driver Ron.
I appreciate the tip.
Thank you very much.
I appreciate that.
On Rumble, Rogue Statesman says, I cannot find anything about David's congressional run. I would
like to see some picks or some videos. Unfortunately, I don't have any videos,
did a televised debate and I never got the video from the, um, the PBS channel there in Charlotte,
um, 1996. Uh, maybe you can get it. I don't know where it's stored. I never did.
Uh, I don't have any recordings of, uh, the bands that I was in at, uh, Bush gardens or other places
either. Unfortunately that's bothered me as well. But, um, and Karen is kind of in the same way.
Uh, she used to, uh, twirl for the New York jets before they started having the NFL cheerleaders.
And so she's got no video of that. She doesn't have any video recording of all the, um, musical numbers that she used to do
in college and everything. So yeah, unfortunately it's just nothing but our memories of, um, what
happened with that. I do have a flyer and I do have a, um, that I handed out to people and I do
have yard signs. I created some yard signs and then we went around Charlotte where the district was. And, um, and I put the yard signs out in the
public areas. Um, that Karen drove the van with the two toddlers in it and signs. That was,
that was my campaign. I got on some radio programs, never had any recordings of any of that
stuff either. But the flyer that I put out was, uh, it was two years after Newt Gingrich had done his 10 point
contract with America. And I said, well, our contract with America, my contract with America
is the bill of rights and those 10 points. And so I talked about things like civil asset forfeiture
about the, uh, drug war prohibition and other issues like that, guns and things.
But that was the general thing, and that was kind of the theme of my campaign.
I've got a 10-point contract with America, too.
It's called the Bill of Rights, which you won't find any of that in Newt Gingrich's contract with America. But before we take a break here,
I thought it was interesting that the guy who did Richmond North of Richmond,
Oliver Anthony, came out and said, you know,
that was a pseudonym that he was using.
And he gave his real name.
He talked about his background, all the rest of the stuff.
And I thought it was interesting that he turned down an $8 million contract.
He just doesn't want to get into the music business and he was very humble in terms of what he had to
say about things uh he said um i'm not a good musician he even said i'm not a good man well
you know uh i think to uh see himself with his faults uh that is really one of the key things that we can all aspire to, right?
We need to see ourselves as God sees us. And we need to understand that we're not good men.
That's what Jesus was talking about when he said, blessed are the poor in spirit,
because that's when you're going to get lifted up. And so he said, I don't want to have this,
I don't want to have six tour buses and 15 tract And so he said, I don't want to have this.
I don't want to have six tour buses and 15 tractors and a jet. I don't want to play stadium
shows and I don't want to be in the spotlight. He said, I rejected an $8 million contract. They
can't, he said, the music industry professionals just give me blank stares when they hear me say
that they don't understand that he doesn't want what they want.
He wants a quiet life.
What a mature person he is, really.
You know, to understand that more of everything is sometimes less.
And he looks at that lifestyle and says, I don't want that.
To not be that materially focused, I think, it's just rare.
And he said he wrote what he wrote because he was suffering.
He said he was suffering with mental health.
He was suffering with depression.
He goes into a long detail, which I won't recount about all of his work experience,
but he said now what he's doing, you know, he had a very difficult time.
He said now what he's been doing for the last several years is going around and working with blue collar, uh, workers on job sites and in factories. And he said, uh, they're like me,
they're tired. They're tired of being neglected, divided, manipulated. And, uh, so again, he says,
there's nothing special about me. I'm just sad to see the world and the state that it's in with
everybody fighting with each other. I spent many nights feeling hopeless that the greatest country on earth is quickly fading away
why i can relate to that i tell you especially in 2020 i could not believe that i could not
believe that people could be that easily and totally deceived uh and now we have to do something about it a lot of
people have awakened to this a lot of people saw it but everybody was pretty
much afraid to speak out and do anything about it at the beginning of this he
said I hate the way the Internet has divided all of us the Internet is a
parasite that affects the minds of humans and has their way with him hours
wasted goals forgotten loved ones sitting in houses
with each other distracted all day by technology
made by the hands of other poor souls in sweatshops in a foreign land.
When is enough enough?
When are we going to fight for what is right again?
Millions have died protecting the
liberties that we have. Freedom of speech is such a precious gift, and we're losing it. So
kudos to him for saying that. And one of the other things he said is that we've lost our way
from God. He said, just like those who are wandering in the desert, we've lost our way from God, and we've let false idols distract us and divide us.
That's why everybody is fighting with everyone else.
So when we come back,
we're going to take a look a little bit
at the latest political news,
what is and what is not going to happen with the debates.
We will be right back. Decoding the mainstream propaganda.
It's the David Knight Show.
Now the race is on and here comes pride at the backstretch
heartaches are going to the inside my tears are holding back
they're trying not to fall my heart's out of the running
true love scratched for another's sake the race is on and it looks like
heartaches and the winner loses all
The race is on.
Yeah, that's George Jones at his best.
Isn't that a picture of the election for sure?
Yeah, pride is coming up the backstretch.
And a lot of politicians who are going to be
losing their pride and all of this stuff.
Um, but, uh, it is something that is on display and, uh, heartache
is going to the inside.
Yeah.
Meyer carditis and the jab and all the rest of this stuff.
Very prescient. I thought it was great to see that, that picture of him. You know,
you can really see in that particular picture why they nicknamed him possum.
He does look a bit like a possum there. Uh, but great song. My heart is out of the running
because you got myocarditis, I guess, and the truth is going to be scratched, but the winner
loses all winner loses all the great reset. They're going to lose scratched, but the winner loses all. Winner loses all.
The Great Reset.
They're going to lose all of our money.
They're going to give it all away and everything.
But these people who think that they're winning the world,
whoever wins this presidential prize in this popularity contest is going to find that they're not in control of the government,
and they may have won all this stuff and sacrificed their soul and sacrifice their fellow countrymen.
Uh, because we've seen that happening over and over again.
We talk about the debate.
Uh, it is a farcical loyalty pledge as a one columnist for, uh, the
article carried by Raw Story,
and actually it's an op-ed piece that they quote from the Daily Beast,
about why this demand for a loyalty oath to a political party is ridiculous.
But it is the escape clause for Trump.
And as I said the other day, I think they knew that he was going to do this because he had a big problem with it. First time he ran, if they make this a requirement for
the debate and that allows him to opt out, uh, drudge has got all these, um, and you know,
the left, but especially drug is putting him up as chicken, putting him up as Donald duck,
you know, Donald is ducking out of the
debates and puts his face on Donald duck.
So they're mocking him for running away, but he can always say, Hey, look, uh, I always
said, I'm not going to pledge loyalty to the other people.
They need to pledge loyalty to me.
You understand, right?
That's basically the way he runs his administration and his businesses.
Uh, but the daily beast, Sandy Craig says is bad Daily Beast's Andy Craig says it's bad on the merits,
his loyalty pledge.
It's bad on the merits.
It's politically counterproductive.
It's arguably illegal, and candidates in the networks should stop enabling it.
Well, I don't know if it's illegal, but, you know, it's the same type of thing.
You know, somebody asked about when I ran for office,
the same type of thing I saw with that, how they would keep third-party candidates out of the debates.
And it was always, well, it's a private organization running the debates, and they can do whatever they wish.
And at the time that we were involved, it really wasn't the League of Women Voters.
But, of course, they would say, well, League of Women Voters, it's a private organization, and they can determine who they want in there. But the interesting thing was, is that in, um, uh, in North Carolina, we had a
really good candidate for governor and they would not let him in the debates.
It would have only been three candidates that could have easily handled a debate
with three candidates, but they were afraid of him being there and, um,
everybody would say, but it's a private organization.
The private organization was the North Carolina press association.
It was the press that didn't want an informed public.
It was a press that didn't want to have a debate.
And that's the key issue.
If we're going to turn this away from the politics of personality, and if
all that matters is personality,
we've got to talk about issues.
And that's why this is a bigger issue.
This isn't just about pride in the backstretch
for all these candidates and who's going to get to win.
The important thing about the presidential race,
if there's anything at all important about it,
because again, we're going to be ruled by people we don. Because again, we're going to be ruled by
people we don't vote for. We're going to be ruled by the CIA and by the FBI and people like that,
and the bureaucracy. We're not going to be ruled by the people that we vote for.
People we vote for turn it over to these people every single time. It doesn't matter whether
it's Republican or Democrat. And so if we're ever going to get away from this personality,
this politics of personality, we have to discuss the issues.
And the important thing is for these guys to get together theoretically
to talk about issues.
They don't always have to do it.
The debate moderators protect them,
always ask them the same questions about the same issues,
and we never get any real questions about the same issues.
And we never get any real discussion about the stuff that is pressing us. We've had several candidates who have come out against things like central bank digital currency.
Not enough of them have opposed the vaccines or the lockdowns or any of that stuff.
I don't expect to hear any debate questions about that.
But who knows there
might be some that would be there. Uh, but that's the type of thing that should be discussed.
Just like we ought to have a debate before we go to war. We ought to talk about what it should
look like, how it should be conducted. What is the goal? How do we know when it's over and all
the rest of this stuff? We should have these types of policy situations, but they want to make it all about personalities.
And that's one of the saddest things about this.
Make it about personalities.
Make it about parties.
There's always been a head fake.
They said, until recently,
the national party committees had no part
in the primary debates.
The debates were organized by media outlets.
But the media outlets were just head fakes.
They were just a placeholders for the political parties.
Just like the presidents are placeholders for the deep state.
They say they're just representations for the people are really pulling the
strings.
Other people are giving the money, the people who are the political
parties and the bureaucracies.
In 2016, the RNC circulated a pledge to support the nominee and pressured candidates to sign.
But this was not tied at the time to debate inclusion or to delegate penalties.
The only consequence at stake was political criticism.
But they knew that Trump didn't like that.
So they put that in there, giving him an out.
And again, all the candidates will be required to pledge to support him.
And he's far away ahead of everybody else.
But really, especially in this environment, with all of the
lawfare that is happening with Trump, doesn't really mean that much.
And even though nobody has ever been in this strong a position,
we're still several months away from it.
You have some people as an Iowa pollster that Drudge reported
is trying to make the case that the race between DeSantis and Trump
is closer than people expect because even though he's got,
I don't know what it is, 30, 40 point lead or something like that. Maybe
more, uh, that when she, she, she did her polling, she asked people who their first or second choice
was because in the Iowa caucuses, if your first choice doesn't get it, then, uh, they go with
your second choice and they take, um, uh, the, um, you know, those those votes, and they redistribute them a second time.
So she said she would ask them who the first and second choice was,
and it came out that Trump had a first and second choice about,
he was the first and second choice of about 63% of the people,
if I remember correctly, and DeSantis was right behind him at 61%.
But that doesn't really mean anything because that doesn't necessarily
even mean that DeSantis, if he's their second choice,
Trump has got such a big lead that he may not go to that second round.
But the reality is can he when the election is what the Republican
party ought to be looking at.
But if they're not going to debate the role of the administrative state,
elections are meaningless at this point.
I mean, they're fraught with corruption and lies and fraud to start with.
Trump added a whole new level of fraud in 2020 based on the lockdown
and vote-by-mail stuff.
That's why I had no sympathy for him.
I had no support for what he was doing because he was the one who added
all of that and then misdirected everybody to Dominion, for example.
And so this guy who wrote the op-ed piece for Daily Beast says,
the RNC doesn't buy the cameras, it doesn't rent the venue,
it doesn't pay the moderators, it doesn't broadcast the event.
Fox News and CNN and MSNBC and ABC do all that.
And they're the ones who are on the hook,
not just for the political consequences, but also running afoul of the law.
It's their show, and they should act like it's their show. But again, the media
is the handmaid of these political parties and all the rest of this stuff. And these candidates
as well, uh, they're not going to do that. And so we're not really going to have a debate.
Meanwhile, you have people like this person who wrote an op-ed piece
on a wnd.com. His name is Michael master.
And I thought, who is this guy?
I looked him up.
He's in his bio.
He listed one thing that he's done.
He's written a book about Trump.
And so he says, no contest.
Trump has got my vote.
He says, Trump's got a huge ego, no humility.
Republicans paint him as some self centered lunatic, a criminal lunatic even.
Uh, but he doesn't have any problem with any of that. The Republicans paint him as some self-centered lunatic, a criminal lunatic even.
But he doesn't have any problem with any of that.
And his whole essay is about Trump, his ego, his personality, and all the rest of this stuff.
It's not about any of the policies.
He doesn't talk about anything that happened, especially in 2020.
He doesn't talk about the lockdown, the lockdown election.
He doesn't talk about the jabs.
Doesn't talk about any of that stuff.
He ignores every bit of it.
Doesn't care about any issue.
To him, it's Trump, Trump, Trump.
And it's personality, personality, personality.
You know, I think we, I guess we've entered the period of what we could call the ad hominem president.
Right?
An ad hominem attack is you take the attack to the man.
You attack them personally.
Well, Trump is being attacked personally.
He's being loved for who he is as well.
And he says in there, he says, well, it doesn't matter to me if he's a lunatic. It doesn't matter to me if he's a criminal lunatic.
I like him.
What are the policies that you like? No, no a criminal lunatic. I like him. What are the policies of the joint?
No, no, I like him.
I like him.
It's the ad hominem presidency.
Problem is that the majority of voters think that Trump did something illegal,
and that's only going to increase as we look at the lawfare stuff.
And he's going to be using his money not to campaign,
but for lawyers this time around.
When he could have given money to the lawyers about investigating the election, he chose to keep the money himself.
This time he's going to have to pay the lawyers.
But that's what he's going to use the campaign money for.
He might be incredibly popular with the Republican base.
And as one of these people said, hey, look, Trump's got 90% of the Republican base. And as one of these people said,
hey, look, Trump's got 90% of the Republican base.
Well, good, you've got 90% of the 30%.
Now, what do you do with the rest of it?
Is that enough to win?
No.
There's more Democrats and there's more independents
than there are Republicans,
and you've got only 90% of the Republicans.
And as they continue down this,
I think already after the first term of Trump, he is widely disliked by the vast majority of
Democrats and independents. As much as the Republicans love him, it's going to be disastrous,
and we're going to wind up with a monolithic Democrat-run government. That's what's going
to happen. And then you're going to have
aggrieved republicans with very strong opinions ready to push the civil war because we have made
this about an ad hominem president his attacks on people are to call them names to attack them for who they are and not what they did or what they want to do.
And so, again, the majority of Americans say that Trump should be prosecuted on federal criminal
charges linked to the 2020 election. No, he should be prosecuted for the pandemic,
for the global attack. You know, as I look at that, it is kind of interesting.
America has been the arsenal for democracy, they said,
since World War II.
We built the planes and everything,
and then after World War II,
we became the military-industrial complex,
and we're arming everybody just like we're arming Ukraine.
War after war after war,
we've become the merchants of death.
And yet what we did during this lockdown and this global pandemic,
what Trump did was he made America the arsenal for the mRNA death shot, didn't he?
He made America the arsenal for this war of every government around the world
to go to war with their own people.
Democide, death by government,
depopulation, and slavery.
It was pushed by that.
He took the lead in all of that.
And America became the pharmaceutical arsenal of the world.
So yeah, put him in jail, not for 2020, but for that.
It's sad to see.
We're going to take a quick break and we'll be right back.
Using free speech to free minds. It's the David Knight Show.
We have on Rumble,
Chevkin 321,
Trump basically made Fauci the president in 2020.
That's exactly right.
They definitely turned it
over to him.
DeSantis has even used
that line of attack.
He turned the presidency over to Fauci, and all of them did, quite frankly.
So as we talked about the failures of the Ukraine war,
the U.S. Army has launched a second phase of brand reboot,
and they're focusing on relatability relatability we're going to
be able to relate to each other their diversity equity inclusivity or when you
start using that in military spell it die because that's what's going to
happen to the military the institution is dying and the soldiers will die if
this is going to be the priority of the Pentagon the army released released a second wave of promotional videos and it's rebranding
campaign on Monday intended to boost its relatability to a diverse array of
Americans.
According to defense one, the army revived its 1980 slogan, be all you can be.
Except now, I guess I mean every gender you can imagine be every gender you can
imagine.
Uh, they did that in March and yet they still fell 25% short of their
goals in terms of recruiting.
They've now got a, their plan is what they call their first steps.
They're going to depict real people, real emotions, real scenarios.
We're showing today's youth that you don't have to have it all figured out
from the beginning to make an impact.
First step series, the picks young recruits each from a different ethnic,
racial, cultural background, leaving their families and coming together
on a bus headed for basic training.
This is why, you know, that exchange that I showed with Matt Gates and the guy who
is the commander commandant whatever his official title is he's head of the Air
Force Academy and he says so it you say diversity is our strength in the
military oh yes it is exactly is that how did that work out was diversity the
strength of any other army in the past or was it their
unity and uh so he you know gets in a back and forth with them and the guy is adamant oh no no
diversity is our strength diversity is our strength repeats it over and over again as matt
gates is skeptical and then matt gates says so then why are you excluding white people from these
programs at the air force academy if diversity is your goal you don't want that do you
and him walk right into that trap so they got people different ethnic racial and cultural
backgrounds leaving their families coming together on a bus headed to basic training
another shows new soldiers receiving their first army of one star patches while in a third video a
young tank operator fires her first successful shot
they will also air the ads in spanish because you know we want to make sure that all the soldiers
don't speak the same language that will be great on the battlefield
we're not talking about navajo code talkers here we're talking talking about, uh, the tower of Babel on the battlefield.
I guess we can call it the Babel field where they're all speaking different
languages with each other, right?
We don't want to unify on anything.
That's important.
Uh, so army secretary, a woman, Christine Wormuth says that they will not meet
their goal of 65,000 recruits forits for the year that is about to end.
Yeah, they're 25% under, but they don't care.
They said data collected internally by the Army showed a 78% increase in brand recall,
but the recruiting is down by 25%.
So how is that helping?
You're making great commercials.
People like your commercials, but they're not
signing up. Biden, meanwhile, is scrambling to sell off Trump's uninstalled border wall.
The House is trying to pass what they call the Finish It Act. And so they got all this
material that was stockpiled that they didn't build the wall with. And the Biden administration is now trying to sell it off at discount.
It's a government surplus website.
You go down to the Army and Navy store and buy yourself a wall, I guess.
Or at least some great big steel stuff.
I don't know how you're going to get it home.
It's too heavy.
81 batches of square structural tubing being auctioned off on a place called GovPlanet.
Meanwhile, illegal border crossings hit the second highest level on record in July.
According to Republicans, up to $300 million worth of taxpayer-funded wall components have been left to rust since the Biden administration took office. The Biden administration is rushing to liquidate the wall leftovers
before the GOP-led House can pass a matching version
of the Finish It Act from the Senate and make it law,
says the New York Post.
But here's the problem.
The problem with the border is not rusting steel.
The problem with the border is not an unfinished wall.
If you finish the wall, that can help you to control some of the cartel activity and the trafficking and some drug traffic and things like that, perhaps. They will find a way around this
stuff. You cannot stop that with a wall. That's a very simplistic idea, number one.
Number two, it's not the rusting steel.
It's the welfare magnet.
The welfare magnet will pull people through the wall, over the wall,
around the wall, under the wall, anywhere.
Karen used to teach the kids prepositions.
It's anywhere a mouse can go, over the wall, under the wall.
Well, that's what's
going to happen with the welfare magnet. If you offer people enough benefits, they're going to
find some way to get in here. It's a welfare magnet. That's the issue. And neither party
wants to attack that issue. That's the Cloward and Piven issue. Cloward and Piven, Democrat economists. Well, you know, we wanted to have welfare state to turn us into socialism and communism
and to collapse the economy, but it's just not happening quickly enough.
So let's bring people in from foreign countries and we can do it.
The pennies made from selling the border wall will not be enough to pay the families who suffer from a criminal act committed by someone who crossed our
borders during the Biden administration says a Republican Senator James
Lankford of Oklahoma.
And again,
it's the U S army Corps of engineers.
I guess they are,
you know,
rebranding themselves here.
They've transferred approximately $154 million worth of the roughly $260 million
worth of bollard panels and other materials.
Uh, they're going to send them to the resellers or to the trash heap.
We saw this type of thing happening, um, in the beginning of the Obama
administration with recycled brass, for example, uh, they would typically in the past have sold that
into, um, the market where people would use it to make ammunition and sell it to Americans.
But instead they decided that at Fort Drum in New York, that they would crush it
and turned into scrap metal and then sell it for much, much less money to China as a scrap metal.
That's what they're doing with this.
They're going to sell it just as scrap metal, not even as bollards that somebody else could do something with.
But as we're looking at what is happening at the border,
the U.S. has escalated a trade dispute with Mexico over genetically modified corn.
Now, there's a lot of aspects to this story.
The fact that Mexico cares more about the health effects of GMO corn than the U.S.
The U.S. just says, forget about it.
Yeah, we're going to do this.
And they get into a fight about it.
Mexico says, wait, can't we appoint some scientists from both of the countries to kind of study this and see what's going on with it?
It always used to surprise me when we were in Texas,
we would see Mexican Coke.
And the Mexican Coke was not served in aluminum cans or plastic bottles that can, you know,
dissolve the aluminum and dissolve the plastic
and you eat those things.
It was served in glass.
And it didn't have high fructose corn syrup.
It had real sugar in it.
Now, not that it was a healthy thing, but it still, you know, it didn't have high fructose corn syrup. It had real sugar in it. Now, not that it was a healthy thing, but it still, you know, it didn't have a lot of the other stuff that was,
and it was slightly more expensive because it was bottles.
But, you know, the environmentalists don't like bottles.
They want us eating out of cans and, you know, maybe it'll kill us faster.
They don't want people.
But this story here has a lot of different aspects to it because, you know,
um, Trump took on NAFTA and he replaced NAFTA with the USMCA and, uh, the
U S Mexican Canadian trade agreement.
And as I said at the time, and as new Americans said at the time, it's the same thing as NAFTA.
It's worse in many different ways.
Trump negotiated, uh, and talked about some preferential treatment for the dairy industry, uh, and Canada, you know, selling our, our dairy products to Canada, a better deal for that. But it still is a controlled trade thing, which doesn't even,
it takes the free market out of it, and it even takes the governments out of it, and it turns it
over to an international commission that is going to solve these disputes by arbitration. And that's, what's going on here, the North American trade pack and packed.
And you have a us trade representative.
That's part of this look, let's understand these things are treaties.
They're treaties or trade treaties.
And so as part of this treaty and these, these organizations, whether it was NAFTA,
or whether it's USMCA, you look at the people who are involved in the arbitration,
they all talk about how their treaty lawyers and so these are treaties that
are entered into um you know like the paris climate accord it's a treaty not voted on by
the senate washington alleges that a mexican decree decree banning imports of GM corn used in dough and tortillas for human consumption is not based
on science and it violates the commitments under the U.S.-Mexico-Canada agreement on trade that
was launched in 2020. If the panel rules in favor of the U.S. and Mexico fails to comply with the
directives, the U.S. trade, would ultimately win the right to impose punitive tariffs on Mexican goods, a move that could
spark a rare North American trade war.
Again, this is going to be binding arbitration with penalties and
all the rest of this stuff.
And we're talking about debates.
You know, one of the things that Rama Swami said was, he said, well, I think
Trump was wrong to get us out of the Trans-Pacific Partnership.
It wasn't a partnership.
It was going to be a trade treaty.
And Ramaswamy wants us back into it.
And so does Elon Musk.
Now, Trump was right about that, but Trump was wrong about the USMCA.
And so are we going to talk about those types of things?
Are we going to talk about those types of things? Are we going to talk about our food supply?
And the fact that Mexico is more
concerned about the food of their people
than the U.S.
The U.S. will just feed us garbage.
They'll inject us with garbage.
They'll give us garbage medicine.
It's critical that Mexico eliminate
its U.S. MCA inconsistent
biotech measures,
said the U. the US representative,
so that American farmers can continue to access the Mexican market
and to use innovative tools to respond to climate challenges.
Mexico buys about $5 billion worth of corn from the US each year,
making its northern neighbor the country's largest trading partner.
Most of those purchases are genetically modified yellow corn that is used for livestock feed mexico has sought u.s cooperation to jointly conduct scientific research on health impacts of
genetically modified corn what have they got to hide wouldn't you want to do this wouldn't you
want to do it if you were concerned at all about health?
If you were concerned about your reputation?
No, these people don't care about our health,
and they don't care about the reputation.
They're going to just shove this stuff down our throats one way or the other,
whether it's the cattle or whether it's us.
They treat us as cattle.
Mexico argues that biotech corn harms native varieties
and may have adverse health
effects. That's what I had basically in that I remember America, you know. Well, we're going to
genetically modify the food. Oops, we got it wrong now. All the food is gone.
Yeah. Mexico had announced plans to phase out GM corn for human consumption and eventually for livestock feed after they studied its health effects.
The Mexican president said,
what is being proposed is that we also set a date for studying the contents of
yellow corn to see whether it is damaging to human health.
He says, this takes time.
We don't have time for that kind of stuff, right?
We've got to do it now.
As a matter of fact,
a good example of
this, when I talked about what is happening with a governor Lee special session here in Tennessee
to, uh, try to enact some sort of gun control to appease his wealthy liberal friends in Nashville,
Tennessee, he's, uh, compelled, uh, the state legislature here, mostly Republican. They don't
want a special session. They even had the executive committee of the Republican Party saying, please don't do a
special session. And I talked to Senator Nicely. He said that he and many others are just going to
say, just going to sit there quietly and vote no on everything. They have introduced, I read some
of the best and the worst bills to you yesterday to give you an idea of some of the stuff that was there. Altogether, there are at least 115 bills that have been introduced in this special
session that he wants to rush through. Why does he want to rush them through? I mean, even if some
of these bills and some of the bills on the surface look like they might be good bills,
but the devil's in the detail. And if you don't give people enough time to look at this stuff,
the appropriate answer is to say, no, let's do this under ordinary circumstances.
And so there's a paper here in Tennessee, the Tennessee Star,
and I think they also have a talk radio show in Nashville.
And so they were talking about the laundry list approach that is here and how this is a dramatic break from the modern political tradition of Tennessee.
It's very important.
It's the type of thing that Nancy Pelosi did.
You know, it was really novel when she dropped a several thousand page bill for, I think it was Obamacare the first time it happened, drops it and says, hey, you've got 24 hours to read this.
A thousand pages of highly technical legal language, a massive restructuring of government,
and you've got 24 hours or 48 hours to look at this.
That's now become standard operating procedure for the Congress.
Because when the Republicans got control, they continued with that tradition.
And that's the type of thing that this Republican governor is trying to do here.
Again, as I pointed out yesterday, sort of nicely said, we've had about a dozen kids
who've been shot and killed in 25 years here.
That's less kids than die from pretty much any kind of means of death that you can imagine.
So why do we have to have this special session? Just take a look at what is happening where they
do have lots and lots of gun control laws in Chicago. Just had a 14-year-old among seven
people killed and 33 wounded in Chicago over a typical weekend. And that's, you know, at least 40 people were shot,
seven of them fatally in Chicago.
This is a regular occurrence, an area where gun control is rampant.
And so on the Brownstone Institute,
Bruce Pardee talks about the anatomy of the administrative state,
and I was glad to see him put this in,
because there's a lot of stuff that I've been talking about, how you've had this abdication of power from the legislature to the administrative
state.
He says, do you approve of the nanny state?
Nearly everybody does.
Most have lived their lives under the nanny state or the administrative state, as it's
more formally known. They think the government exists
to manage society, to solve social problems for the common good. What else is government for?
But now some people are not so sure because they saw the COVID-19 train wreck.
One senseless government diktat followed another. Close your business. Keep your kids home from
school. Stay out of the park.
Wear a mask to go into the store.
Take a vaccine to keep your job.
These edicts destroyed lives.
These edicts came from the Trump administration, folks.
Why are we forgetting?
Why are we making this just about his personality?
And what is so winning about his personality?
They caused vaccine injuries.
They cause deaths.
They cancel jobs and education.
They tore families apart.
They eviscerated civil liberties and society unraveled.
And that was all on Trump.
Biden continued it.
Sure.
The left, right march, or in this case, the right left march of tyranny.
They had to have trump to start this to
kick this off and then biden continued it and he added some of his own stuff but the two of them
presided over all this and it's the same two politicians that are leading in the polls
says the media and the candidates who weaponize this stuff to new levels,
who put the swamp underneath them,
they put the swamp on steroids.
And so let's have a civil war over these two puppets that presided over all this stuff, that did all of this.
And so he says, if we're ever going to stop this,
we've got to reject this kind of big government nannyism, this kind of, and he
doesn't use the term, but it's regulation without representation. These people are ruling over us,
and we never elected them. And so what do these elections mean if we're going to allow the
administrative state to run roughshod over everything that we do? He said the American
revolutionaries, the founders of this country, Patrick Henry Jefferson, would not comprehend the extent to which the state now controls our lives.
Its tentacles are everywhere. Our technocratic overlords regulate fishing rods, dog food,
cow flatulence, the holes in Swiss cheese. They supervise our speech, employment, bank accounts,
and media. They indoctrin. Nate our children they control the
money supply the interest rate the terms of credit they track direct incentivize
censor punish redistribute subsidize tax license and inspect and it wasn't
supposed to be this way this is antithetical everything that is
American and it's antithetical to freedom.
He talks about the unholy trinity of the administrative state,
which I thought was good.
He says, you know,
when you look at what the administrative state is doing,
you break it down into three Ds.
I guess they're playing 3D chess with us.
Delegation from the legislature,
deference from the courts,
you say, well, you know,
the legislature says we're not going to do that. We'll take it over.
That's what Pelosi was saying.
She said, we've got to pass it to find out what's in it.
She didn't want to put the details in.
She's going to let them put the details in.
If everybody gets really angry,
they'll get angry at the administrative state,
which doesn't care because they're not accountable and they don't have to
stand for election.
And then the people who do stand for election say,
I'll be your knight in
shining armor on the white horse i'll come in here and i'll rescue you from these bad bureaucrats in
the administrative state so the legislature delegates the courts defer to them say well
they're the experts i should not get in it we should not interfere you know in most cases we
just leave them alone so you get deference from the courts,
and then you get discretion from the administration
to decide what the public good is.
And the bottom line is, when they play this kind of 3D chess,
we have concentrated all power,
and we've concentrated it and erased the checks and balances.
There's no checks and balances from the federal government to the central
government, or even within that we have consolidated everything into an
unelected bureaucracy.
And there will not be any debate about that from any of these candidates.
Won't be much of a debate to start with.
Amazing to me that Trump is going to pre-record his little interview with Tucker Carlson
and run that at exactly the same time as the debate.
It's just such theatrics.
