As the clock strikes 13, it's Thursday, the 22nd of December, year of our Lord 2022, day 1015 of the never-ending executive order for a state of emergency. Today we're going to catch you up on that, but I want to talk today at this time of the year when we focus on the Prince of Peace, let's talk about war. That's how we're going to begin.

And we're going to tie that into Christmas, to the Carol of the Bells, to Zelensky's visit. Stay with us. We'll be right back. Before we begin, I see that Harps left a tip on Rockfin and said, Thank you, Karen. Package arrived today. He's in Australia. Merry Christmas to the Knight family. Well, Merry Christmas to you. Thank you. That's amazing. We were able to get this to Australia, but we've had some problems with a couple of people in Texas not getting their packages.

So just let us know if you have any issues with it. I want to begin with what's going on with Zelinsky. You know, it's funny how they run these scams at this time of year, the federal reserve and other things. And so even though this thing has not been passed and you got the wiser people, the wiser move, uh, regardless of what you think of Kevin McCarthy, certainly right, right about the idea that you don't want to give away your bargaining chips here. You want to get something for this bill. The bill is outrageously expensive

and wasteful in so many different ways. They're trying to rush this thing through. So I pointed out yesterday, 653 million, not billion. I got that wrong for a second there. And it's like, oh, wait a minute. Yeah, billions, millions, trillions, who knows what's going on with this stuff. Just a bunch of zeros, right? And they have a vision zero. They have a net zero. They have all kinds of ways they want to zero us out.

And one of the ways that they zero us out is with massive debt and inflation, which is what happens when you add all those strings of zeros to a bloated budget. But, um, as, uh, Zelensky comes in and, uh, is applauded for taking $45 billion. Now bring it up to $112 billion. I went out yesterday. Now that's essentially what their entire gross domestic product used to be. Because we're talking about only nine months. And after they began their civil war,

their gross domestic product dropped down into the $90 billion range. It had been up around 180, 190, then it dropped down to 90. Gradually climbed up, stayed at 150 for a couple of years and then we started ramping them up in preparation for the war that we had planned and uh and 2021 got up to 200 billion but of course with war again it has crashed but we're giving them as much as their entire gross domestic product so biden welcomed him into the white house and said, you are man of the year. Well, is anybody going to talk about how that's a gaffe, how that's politically incorrect? He's now person of the year. They don't have man of the year anymore.

That's time. That's how sexist of a Biden. This guy is showing his age, isn't he? By the way, we have a famous thing that occurs once a year. We pick the man of the year in Time magazine. You are a man of the year in the United States of America. As if Zelensky hadn't heard. This guy lives by the press release. He said to Biden, we control the situation. Do you?

Because of support. because of your support. Well, the only control that is there, if you consider it to be control, if pushing us into a world war, perhaps a nuclear war, I guess that is control. That's what they're going to get. That's what they're after. All appreciations to you, first of all, Mr. President, for your big support and leadership. And also thanks to the ordinary

people, to the Americans. I really appreciate it. Well, I didn't want to give you the money, pal. Sorry. I would have voted against it. He wore his green sweatshirt, cargo pants, and combat boots to address Congress and the president. What a phony thing this is. I remember years ago, the first time I saw was a guy who was running for governor in Florida. I can't remember his name. It just, uh, it just reminded me when I looked at this. Um, and, and he made a big deal out of walking places. You know, he would get his large entourage,

was secure and everything, to drive in one spot. Then he'd get out of the car and he'd walk. And he would take his tie off and throw his coat over his shoulder. Always walking around with his coat over his shoulder, hanging on to it, walking. Throw his coat over his shoulder. Always walking around with his coat over his shoulder, hanging onto it. Walking. It's like, what a ridiculous thing that he got elected though. People like this kind of symbolism.

Oh, he's one of us. He's a man of the people. Well, you know, he's got $45 billion now. And of course his wife got a lot of money in Europe when she went to Paris, she went on a $40,000 an hour shopping spree. I mean, just one hour, she spent over $40,000. It's amazing. You know, he, he could afford to get some shoes instead of combat boots. He could afford to even to get a shirt instead of a green t-shirt. This is all just nonsense.

He's not going to do any of that. Uh, but you know, this is, um, kind of a preview of the hunger games where she can go shopping in Paris, spend $40,000 in an hour on clothes. But the plan, according to the organization C40 that has nearly 100 cities involved in it, the plan is for you to have no plane flights once every three years, less than 1,000 miles, no meat, no dairy. And instead of spending $40,000 on clothes, you will be allowed three articles of clothing new per year. And they'll be able to enforce that with CBDC. That's why that is the crowning achievement of

these people. CBDC, that's how they bring all of the controls together. So during the meeting in the oval office, Zulinski, by Biden, a metal, that's it. It could have been worse. He could have given him the smelly t-shirt. I gave you 45. I spent $45 billion on Ukraine in just this bill. And all I get is a lousy t-shirt. No, he gave him a metal coin, a commemorative, a command coin. Um, I'm sorry. He didn't, he gave him a metal coin a commemorative a command coin um i'm sorry he didn't he gave him a metal and biden said he was going to give him a command coin isn't that nice you know you can get

one of these david knight commemorative coins i really like the design that jason came up with that you can get one of these for a lot less than $112 billion. We'll cut you a deal. Almost go. Yeah, a tiny fraction of what we're spending on this war. So what is happening with the war? U.S.-made missiles have been shot down over Western Russia, says Russia. This is a completely credible claim, of course, because that is

the harm anti-radar missiles have been widely reported that we're giving to them, so why wouldn't they use them? And the area that they were shot down in is an area of Russia that is adjacent to one spot there in the border of Ukraine. Belarus is up on the north, and that's down a little bit to the southeast of Belarus, the area. But just think about this. What would America do if Russia had given missiles to Cuba

and Cuba had shot them into America? What do you think we would have done? At LiveScoreBet, we love Cheltenham just as much as we love football. The excitement, the roar, and the chance to reward you. we would have done. racing Cheltenham with live score bet this is total betting sign up by 2 p.m 14th of March bet within 48 hours of race main market excluding specials and place bets terms apply bet responsibly 18 plus gambling care.ee Cuban missile crisis they didn't even use the missiles and we came nearly to world war nuclear world uh war and um they didn't even use the missiles. We had that buildup that everybody thought was going to be a nuclear confrontation over them merely sending the missiles to Cuba.

And so we're actually giving the missiles to our surrogate, like Cuba was a surrogate of the Soviets, and they're actually using them. And have successfully used some of them. These are supposedly shot down. The Pentagon has admitted that it's providing Ukraine with these harm missiles. They said in the airspace of Belgorod region, four American harm anti-radar missiles were shot down, said the Russian Defense Ministry.

When you look at this, there's one side that is relentlessly pushing this escalation into a direct confrontation, and there's another side that's stepping back from it. We are the ones who are pushing this into an escalation. Moscow says U.S. policies have put the U.S. and Russia on the brink of a direct clash. Yeah. You're going to shoot, you're going to give missiles to your surrogate and have them shoot them into Russia. The head of NATO recently warned that war in Ukraine could turn into a direct war

between NATO and Russia, says antiwar.com. Russia's foreign ministry warned on Monday that Washington's policies have brought the U.S. and Russia to the brink of a, quote, direct clash. The Russian foreign ministry spokesman said the U.S. was at fault due to its goal of maintaining American hegemony while ignoring Russia's security concerns. It's the same thing even Kissinger said. So there's a lot of people in the American government that just want to destroy Russia completely. That's not a smart thing. You have a power vacuum like that with nuclear weapons and all these different territories

and everybody fighting over who's going to get control of the nuclear button, that's beyond idiotic as a goal, number one. You should be trying to find some way to step down on this. Instead, they keep escalating it. We keep escalating this. Biden keeps escalating it. Throughout the war, Russian officials have made it clear they believe that they're not fighting Ukraine, but fighting NATO and, of course, America.

The Russian foreign minister, Sergei Lavrov, recently said the U.S. and NATO are directly participating in the war by providing weapons and training Ukrainian soldiers. And, of course, the U.K. admitted, yeah, we sent in special forces as well. Got troops as well on the ground. Evidence in the Nord Stream sabotage does not point to Russia, says the Washington Post. So now you can believe it. Now you can believe it. I said this from day one. I said, it's not them.

They have no motive to do it. They've spent a lot of money on this. And it's not Russiaussia that is uh really shutting this down i mean they did shut down you could say it was russia you could say it was canada whatever the one side of nordstrom they had to have repairs done to a turbine and that was taken out. It was a German turbine. They sent it to Canada to be fixed. And Trudeau said, we're not going to send it back. They said, well, we can't open up the pipeline without that being done.

So you could argue back and forth. It certainly looks like that was not on the Russian side. And of course, on the Nord Stream 2 side, the German leader had shut down the tap on the pipeline, not Russia. It was the German leader who did it. And there were protests. The AFD, the Alternative for Deutschland, said, turn on the gas,

because it's our guy who's turned it off. It's the German guy who's turned it off. And as those protests are building, boom, the whole thing, both of them were blown up. So anyway, it looked to me like they didn't have the motive from the very beginning. Now the Washington Post, which had headlines, pull up and show people what that looked like it's amazing how they had concocted this picture in this headline in the past the nordstrom sabotage mapped how putin could have carried out the attack and they show a picture of putin in an underwater vehicle as it's going underwater you can clearly see his face in a glass bubble uh i mean it's

cartoonish at live score bet we love cheltenham just as much as we love football the excitement the roar and the chance to reward you that's why every day of the festival we're giving new members money back as a free sports bet up to 10 euro if your horse loses on a selected race.

Main market excluding specials and place bets. Terms apply. Bet responsibly. 18plusgamblingcare.ie It's fake news. Look at that. Uh, I have to warn people.

This was not a picture of, uh, Vladimir Putin near the Nord stream pipelines at the time that it blew up. But of course they wanted you to believe that with the, uh, Washington post headlines. Just amazing. Yellow journalism is,

I mean, has anything really changed with the post going back to world war one? Yeah. You tell me where you want your war and I'll get it for you. They said, right. So, um, her said, anyway, uh, numerous officials in the West now say that evidence is not pointing to Russia. So Washington post began their retraction by recounting the frenzied rush to immediately blame Moscow. They said world leaders quickly blamed Moscow. We're just reporting what the world leaders said. We don't question what the world leaders say.

We had good sources, just like Jake Tapper said that time when he reported Sam Hyde. What are you doing? You don't know anything well we were told that by a congressman i said oh okay that's how you vet your stories did somebody in authority tell you that just mockingbird press cia mockingbird press anyway washington post said after the explosions world leaders quickly blamed mosc a brazen, dangerous act of sabotage. It appeared the Kremlin intended to strangle the flow of energy to millions across the continent, an act of blackmail. Well, now we know the truth.

It appears it's Biden who intends to strangle the flow of energy worldwide, especially in Europe, right? Sanctions, demolitions, the rest of this stuff. Then Washington Post says, but now, after months of investigation, numerous officials privately say, privately say, that Russia may not be to blame after all for the attack on the Nord Stream pipelines. This is the same thing they did with the anthrax attacks that killed several people the week after 9-11. Washington Post, New York Times, the rest of them wound up with egg on their faces.

They said, oh, this is coming from Saddam Hussein. That's it. We got to go to, we got to invade Iraq again. And then it came out, well, this is a weaponized strain of anthrax they don't have. And it's a method of delivery that nobody has except for a couple of labs. We have these chemical weapon labs and biological warfare labs. And, uh, there's only two labs in the world and we own both of them.

Those two labs were involved with the CIA. So the FBI investigates a third lab that doesn't have that and frames a guy there at that third lab that doesn't have the technology that everybody saw with that. That's how the FBI just again. I'll talk about the FBI later. The Post issued a rare about face. Says Zero Hedge after interviewing a total of 23 diplomats and intelligence officials. Well, maybe they should just apply some critical thinking.

You think? Oh, well, you know, we'll ask the officials what they think. This is what the experts and the government authorities tell us. So now the Kremlin is saying there is no chance of peace with Ukraine after the Zelensky-Washington trip. They said, spokesman said, the supply of weapons continues, the range of supplied weapons is expanding, continues the range of supplied weapons is expanding and the range of those weapons is expanding all of this of course leads to an aggression or an aggravation of the conflict and this does not bode well for ukraine on our side we've got mc says, as Zelensky comes,

and I showed you the pictures of McConnell posing with Zelensky in the past, providing assistance for Ukrainians to defeat the Russians is the number one priority for the U.S. right now. Is it really? Mitch McConnell needs to go. Our number one priority right now is World War III. That's what he wants, because that's going to solve a lot of the problems for them.

It's going to make a lot more problems for us, but it's going to save their behinds when people realize what these shots are, come to realize what all this pandemic stuff was. Even people like tim robbins is now starting to get that um this was changed as well we went into lockdown with healthy people with children and that didn't seem to be wise to me so um i'm not a scientist i'm not a scientist. I'm not a doctor. I don't know the intricacies of data on this. All I can respond to is as someone that is concerned about what the result of those doctrines that policy had on us as human beings. And it's not good.

We turned into tribal, angry, vengeful people. And I don't think that's something that is sustainable for the earth, that we start demonizing people that don't agree with our particular health policies and turn them into monsters, turn them into pariahs, say that they don't deserve a hospital bed. I think about, you know, people that have made bad mistakes in their lives where they take too many drugs and they overdose. And that's totally their choice. That's totally their responsibility.

Yet we take care of them. Yet we bring them to the hospital. Yet we save their lives because we're compassionate, because we want to make sure that people live. And this turned, it turned into you should fucking die because you have not complied. That's incredibly dangerous. I missed that last one there. Sorry about that. Anyway, but you understand what he's saying here, right?

How does this apply to this situation? They're connected. You have a pandemic MacGuffin. You have a climate MacGuffin. We're all going to die if you don't do X, right? And both of them are wars against us. I call them a MacGuffin. You know, it's the thing that drives you to war,

the motivating factor, the fictional narrative, so that you'll go hunt lions in the Scottish Highlands. And you heard what he said. We turned into tribal angry people. What typically turns us into tribal angry people? I know politics and Trump, but beyond that, war, war does that. War does that. And this is a war over a border. What have we been saying for the last decade or so? The borders don't matter to the European countries. Yeah, everybody come on. We're not going to. No, no, we're not going to stop anybody at the border. Come on in.

The borders don't matter at our border, do they? Borders don't matter to America. Borders don't matter to Europe. Why are we pushing to a nuclear war over a border? And why are we supporting a country where they have been engaged in civil war, shelling civilians for eight years before this started, simply because one area of the country wanted self-determination, secession from their political rule.

And this is what McConnell says is the number one priority for the United States right now. According to most Republicans, not the rank and file. Mitch shows just how out of touch you and your latest Republicans in name only are. That's how we see the challenges confronting this country at the moment. That's how they see it. He's not worried about CBDC. No, he wants that because it's all about war and control of you so another 45 billion dollars

zelinski says he plans to tell congress that they're not doing enough not doing enough just amazing it'll never be enough they'll never be satisfied uh governments never are satisfied i gotta stop here and say uh the front line with the frontline with Joe and Joe, thank you very, very much. That's a very generous. I appreciate that. Merry Christmas, David and the Knights. Thank you very much. The frontline with Joe and Joe. Thank you. Uh, so in a video released by his office, somebody handed Zelensky Ukrainian flag as he was getting ready to fly to the U S he said, he was going to deliver it to U.S. leaders. He said, the guys handed over our beautiful Ukrainian flag

with their signatures for us to pass on. The enemy is increasing its army. Our people are braver. Oh, wait, does he not realize that he's coming to America where Stanford University just said, you better not use the term brave. It's an insult to indigenous people. I mentioned that to my son. Wait that my son said wait wait a minute wait a minute that's getting the whole idea of this whole etymology of brave

completely upside down you know they applied something that already had at live score bet we love cheltenham just as much as we love football. The excitement, the roar and the chance to reward you.

brave was already a thing right before it got attached to uh indigenous warriors. So he said, no, we're braver. We just need more powerful weapons. We will pass it on. That is the flag from the boys to Congress, to the president of the United States. We're grateful for their support, but it is not enough. It is a hint. It is not enough. We give them the equivalent of their entire gross domestic product,

and it's just a hint of what they need, he says. So let's talk a little bit about Christmas. You know, the Ukrainians, it's kind of interesting when you tie Christmas and politics and songs together. the Carol of the Bells originally came from Ukraine. And there was a lot of politics about Ukrainian independence, about the Bolshevik Revolution, about murder. And they used this song. This song was written in 1916. Leontovich, I think is the way you pronounce the guy's name. I'm just guessing. Mikola Leontovich. And I'm not even going to

try to pronounce the name of the song. Too many consonants there for me to try to guess. I'll just call it Shrek. It kind of looks like Shrek to me. No disrespect intended. But anyway, 1916, he wrote this song that we now have put lyrics to and made a Christmas song, but that's not what it was about. The interesting thing is, is that he wrote it in 1916, and the Ukrainian National Chorus brought it to the United States in 1922, December 1922, at Christmastime. And it's presumed that the guy who wrote the lyrics to Carol of the Bells, Peter Wilhowski, he was in New York and lived in New York,

taught in New York, taught school, taught music. It's presumed that he was in the audience and heard that December. He puts it in as a Christmas, gives it Christmas lyrics as it was there in December. But, but we don't know.

It did, in its own right, get recorded because it's a beautiful song and was pretty popular. And then he put English lyrics about Christmas time to it, and it really took off. But it's kind of interesting because what happened between 1916 and 1922? Well, you had the Russian Revolution in 1917, right? And you also had Ukraine declaring its independence from Tsarist Russia. It had always been part of Russia. And then when the Bolsheviks took out the Tsar, the Romanov family, they thought, now is our move. Now is our time to make a move.

So they made a move for independence. And part of their move was kind of like what we see with Zelensky now. They had a tour. They went on an international tour with a Ukrainian national chorus. Everywhere they went, they stressed that they had their own culture, that they were their own people even though the new york times other people continued to call them russians really great against they would hand out cards and tell we're not russians we're ukrainians and

all this stuff so it was a big pr tour to try to support the uh their nationalism So they come to America. They perform in Carnegie Hall. Actually, it was in October. And by Christmas time, the Russians had brought them back in to the Soviet Union. They thought they were going to get out after the Tsar fell. So it was in 1922. Let me just play you a little bit of the original Ukrainian song. This is being sung by some Ukrainians who are on tour again. Sveta Lepoša The We give all our single chance. That's how we celebrate the biggest week in racing. Cheltenham with LiveScoreBet. This is total betting.

Sign up by 2 p.m. 14th of March. Bet within 48 hours of race. Main market excluding specials and place bets. Terms apply. Bet responsibly. 18plusgamblingcare.ie. Beautiful song, isn't it? So here we are a century later, and they bring that, you know, that was 1922 that they originally did it.

A century later, they come to Carnegie Hall and perform it again. Look, I understand the Ukrainians wanting to have their own culture, their own self-determination, and I supported that. I always do. I always support independence and self-governance. Of course, there's usually something else happening with these coups that involves the CIA, as we saw in this particular one. But they have a right to

self-determination, and I support their independence from Russia if that's what they want. By the same token, the people in Crimea and the people in Donbass also have a right to associate with who they wish and self-determination and to stay with Russia if they wish. And I've pointed this out many times. I said, if you go back to our history of secession, the American Revolution was a war of secession, declaring independence from Great Britain and our self-governance. The Civil War, as it's commonly called, was the second war of independence. It was a war of secession and self-governance.

It was not an attempt by the Southern states to take over the entire United States. It's not a civil war in that response. It was a war of secession. And so when Virginia seceded, you had Western Virginia, the people there wanted to continue with the union and so the people in virginia said you have a right to secede you have a right to secession and so they agreed to that

they had to essentially to be consistent uh but um you know whether they liked it or not they had to agree to that to support that principle which was a principle that established both America and the principle that they were applying to for their independence. And yet we see this over and over again, not just in Ukraine, but everywhere. Now we're going to determine whether or not these people have the right to secede or not, depending on geopolitics, who is our ally? What do we want to see from the outcome? The principles of self-governance are not there. If they were, if the Ukrainians really believe that, they would have allowed Donbass to go their way instead of shelling them for the last eight years.

And Crimea as well. And there would have been peace. But that's not what happened. So now you've got the Ukrainian chorus is touring America. And this brings up this whole history of how this all happened again. As a matter of fact, you know, it's when you look at how this has entered our culture, as I said, the first one, uh, after that beautiful song and you hear it and it's very inspirational musically. And I can understand why somebody would want to write lyrics to it.

And so, uh, this is, uh, not a, not a great performance, but it, you know, it's got millions of views on YouTube. Just give you a sample of it but um it shows the lyrics to carol of the bells which is what that new york composer wrote one seems to hear words of good cheer from everywhere filling the air All right, that's the, just, you know, Christmas as a celebration, as a secular holiday, the lyrics to it. So that was done in 1936, and then by, let me get the dates here. That was done just a few years after they put that out. I've got the dates here further down. And then there was, in the 40s, you had a version of that that had religious lyrics to it. They made it more about Christmas. And the lady who wrote those lyrics

retitled it, Ring Christmas Bells. You may have heard this one. And of course, that's the Ray Conniff Singers. That's the version I remember. That record, when I was a kid, went platinum. But Andy Williams also recorded that. Some other people recorded that one. Typically, people record the secular lyrics if they don't do it as an instrumental. So three different versions. The first one done in 1922.

I'm sorry, 1916. And introduced into America in 1922. And then the other lyrics got very popular in 1936, about 14 years later. And then in 1947, the lyrics that you hear there. But let's talk about the tour and the politics and what happened back in Ukraine while that was happening. The chorus had just set off on a world tour that would take them across 10 countries in Europe over three years, and then to North America where they would sing widely across the U.S., including small towns far away from Carnegie Hall. They visited 36 states,

115 cities. An article in the New York Times at the time heralded their arrival by boat in September. They said 50 Russian singers land in gay dress. The Times Performance Review described the singers in, quote, motley costumes, with gaudy headdresses singing, quote, primitive peasant airs of the six provinces of little or southern Russia. That kind of conflation, as I said before, with Russia and Ukraine always irritated the Ukrainians because the whole purpose of their concert trip

was to introduce people to the idea of an independent Ukraine. And they wore the, as they put it, motley costumes. They were embroidered peasant costumes to show, again, that they were a distinct culture. So, its original origins. When he wrote it in 1916, he picked it up from a lot of folk tunes that they had in the area, this particular composer.

They had a lot of songs about New Year's that were typically focused on nature and spring because their New Year was in March. That's when they had their New Year. As the country became Christianized, they moved New Year's to the same time that we have it on our calendar. And yet the Ukrainian version has absolutely nothing to do with Christmas, nothing to do with bells. It talks about a swallow who is summoning the master of the house to look at his livestock and the bounty of the coming spring, as well as look at his beautiful, dark, eyebrowed wife. So, again, 1916, he writes it. The Revolution, 1917.

Ukraine declares its independence. And because of that, in 1918, the president sent the choir on a tour to tell people, hey, we are a separate people. We have our own culture. And you should respect that. We're different from Russia. So they left as this was starting to break out really bad in 1918. The Cheka, Felix Dzerzhinsky, I've talked about him before, the Trust, mentioned that a great deal in terms of talking about

the tricks and the betrayals of things, whether that's what happened in January the 6th, I think there was a good deal of that. But that is a common tactic. And Felix Dzerzhinsky was a master at it. Sidney Riley, who was a very, very effective British agent. As a matter of fact, Ian Fleming, who worked for British intelligence, patterned James Bond on him.

He was eventually reeled in by the trust and killed. The trust presented itself as anti-Bolshevik. And they were raising money and creating plots about how they were going to take Russia back and all the rest of this stuff. And yet the entire trust was run by Felix Dzerzhinsky and the Cheka. And they were able to rope in the real James Bond and murder him with that. And so to consolidate their power, just as the choir is leaving in 1918,

that's the beginning of the Red Terror by Dzerzhinsky and others to consolidate their power. And of course, it continued on with the Holomador starving the people in Ukraine. Later on, it's under Stalin. They still try to keep them under. So again, I understand that Ukraine wants to be independent. What I cannot excuse is they're not applying those same rules to other people of self-governance. Dzerzhinsky went into Ukraine with 1,400 agents.

In the first half of 1921, they killed 444 rebel leaders in Ukraine alone. At LiveScoreBet, we love Cheltenham just as much as we love football.

And so the intellectual class, the same thing that Mao did with his Great Leap Forward, he targeted the intellectual class. It included the guy who composed this. He was shot, Leon, Leon Kovic was shot by a guy, Grishenko, who they found in Soviet documents was listed as a Soviet agent, as an agent of the Cheka. Leon Kovic had been staying at his father's house when Grishenko asked for shelter for the night. After they let him stay for the night he shot dead the composer with a rifle according to archive documents and a few late few days later he also shot and wounded a policeman so over a year after his death the choir went to new york the guy eventually wrote the the lyrics to it and then eventually transposed into what we now have.

I guess you could say now you know the rest of the story, as Paul Harvey would say. But yeah, it's an interesting song. Began as a celebration of a pagan new year, talking about what's happening in spring, because that was when the pagan new year was. Then because of a political tour, very much like the one that's going on right now with the Ukrainian choir, as well as Zelensky. International tour, while you had the Bolshevik Red Terror was happening. Pushed the idea of Ukrainian independence. And then it became an American secular Christmas song than a religious

Christmas song but I think an even better story of Christmas time is the Christmas truce and we all know about that the first year of World War I the war had only been going on for a few months. It went on for many years after that. But I'm sure you all know the story. It's been put into one movie after the other, as well as there's even been songs written about it. It's been celebrated in so many different ways. But the British and their trenches heard late at night germans singing some of them they were singing christmas carols like a silent night

and so they sang along with them and then they started shouting back and forth some of them um you know spoke english some of them spoke german, you know, spoke English. Some of them spoke German. So they started communicating. They said, let's meet in the middle, you know, come on over here. Well, I'm not going to do that, but I'll meet you in the middle. So they met in no man's land where they had been the area between the trenches where they had been fighting each other. And, um, it's known as the Christmas truce. One British machine gunner, Bruce Bairn's father, later a prominent cartoonist, wrote about it in his memoirs. He said, here I was in this horrible clay cavity, a trench, miles and miles from home, cold, wet through, and covered with mud. There didn't seem to be the slightest chance of leaving, except in an ambulance, he said. And then about 10 p.m., he heard a noise.

He said, I listened. And I said, do you hear the Germans kicking up a racket over there? Yes, said my friend. He says, they've been doing it for some time. They were singing Christmas carols. So some of the British soldiers began to sing back. He said, suddenly we heard confused shouting from the other side. We all stopped to listen. The shout came again. The voice was from an enemy soldier speaking in English, but with a strong German accent. He was saying, come over here. Well, the British sergeants answered, you come halfway and I'll come halfway. And so what happened next was something that would stun the world, make history as they

got together and created their own truce. And it began to spread down the western front a lot of uh interesting individual approaches but i think the most interesting thing is that it spread you know the war had only been going for six months uh it went into a stalemate. The Industrial Revolution allowed wholesale murder. It went on for many, many years. And so, but starting after six months after the war had broken out, on Christmas Eve, small pockets of French, German, Belgian,

and British troops had impromptu ceasefires all along the Western Front. He said, I couldn't believe my eyes. He said, when he got out of the thing, here they were, the actual practical soldiers of the German army. And there wasn't an atom of hate on either side. They traded songs, they traded tobacco, they traded wine. Another soldier, a rifleman, wrote home a letter to his wife describing what happened. He said, my company happened to be in the firing line on Christmas Eve. It was my turn to go into a ruined house and remain there until 630 on Christmas morning.

During the early part of the morning, the Germans started singing and shouting all in good English. And they shouted out, are you the rifle brigade? Have you a spare bottle? If so, we will come halfway and you come the other half. Later on the day, they came toward us and our chaps went out to meet him. I shook hands with some of them. They gave us cigarettes and cigars. We did not fire that day. Everything was so quiet. It seemed like a dream. Another British soldier, John Ferguson, recalled it this way. Here we were laughing and chatting to men

Whom only a few hours before we were trying to kill Other diaries and letters describe German soldiers Using candles to light Christmas trees around their trenches One German infantryman Described how a British soldier set up a makeshift barbershop Charging Germans a few cigarettes each for a haircut One account describes vivid scenes of men helping enemy soldiers to collect their dead, of which there were many.

They even played European football. Just how many soldiers participated in this informal holiday gathering has been debated. There's no way to know, since it was unofficial as a ceasefire. And they were all small scale. They were all haphazard. But it just grew. And that's what scared the politicians. Some people estimate on their 100th anniversary,

Time Magazine claimed that as many as 100,000 took part in this. And the high command on both sides was furious. We want you killing each other. You understand? They want us killing each other. That's why we don't want to put people into groups. That's why we don't want to do what the left does. That's why we don't want to do what the left does. That's why we don't want to do what Trump does.

We don't want to divide people by politics, by skin color, by ethnic origin, all the rest of this stuff, because that's how they kill us. This is an outbreak of what christ came for to heal things to unify us so there is no you know there's no jew there's no greek there's no male female bond slave we're all of one blood we're all descended from adam descended from noah we all stand in need of god and forgiveness because we each of us has gone his own way each of us like sheep have gone astray as isaiah said and so if we understand our position before, if we understand that each of us

is created in the image of God with inalienable rights, and that the purpose of government is not to gain territory, the purpose of government is not to make politicians more powerful, rich men richer. The purpose of government is to defend our liberties. So when the truce broke out, the leaders of all the armies were horrified. British General Sir Horace Smith Dorian wrote in a confidential memorandum, this is only illustrative of the apathetic state that we're gradually

sinking into. We cannot have people fraternizing with the enemy, realizing that humanity is a fraternity, a brotherhood. We have to focus on our differences to the extent of killing each other.

For the rest of World War I, they would wind up having 15 million people killed. No more truces. They made examples of commanding officers. But it reminded, as History.com says, it reminded all those involved that wars are fought not by forces, but by human beings. And so we've had artwork, we've had made-for-TV movies, we've had songs, as I said before, all these things written to commemorate it. The guy that I first talked about, Bruce Barron's father, he said, looking back on it all, I wouldn't have missed that unique and weird Christmas day for anything.

So, yeah, we have to transcend these political elite who use us as cannon fodder who seek to slaughter and to enslave us whether it's in a smart city or whether it's in a war to satisfy their narcissism their ambition and we to understand, as we see from just a humanistic side, a momentary pause in this Milgram experiment where you will kill people if somebody in authority tells you to kill people. I was just following orders, right? There's also a moment when we could get a glimpse of the king of kings and the prince of peace, and maybe we could get a glimpse of the King of Kings and the Prince of Peace.

And maybe we could follow him instead. I'm going to take a quick break here. We'll play a little bit of Silent Night. We know that this is one that would have figured.

18plusgamblingcare.ie Prominently in a truce like that. Thank you. ¶¶ you're listening to the david knight show uh amos pool thank you very much that is very kind very generous it's nice to be a part of the knight ministries uh merry christmas well thank you um i didn't mean it to be that i just uh I just talk about the way I see things. Some person sent me a very angry troll letter accusing me of that, actually. So, no, it's not. Anyway, while we're talking about Christmas carols, and while we're talking about the different lyrics to this, you've got a wonderful tune there.

And it is kind of interesting when you stop and think about it. You look at Christmas carols, and you look at how, you know, it can have a different meaning, different people completely because it's the lyrics. And oftentimes you'll see that Internet sites will sometimes be, especially Wikipedia, they'll be careful about putting out lyrics to different songs. Like if you want to know the lyrics to these things, you typically have to go to a lyrics site. I don't know how they get past the copyright issues, but it seems like Wikipedia is concerned about copyright issues

for the most part. Maybe not in all cases. Maybe it's just the individual articles I've looked at. But this has always been a standard thing. If you go back to the Psalms, David, you frequently see at the top, he'll say the Psalm sung to the tune of death of a son. Well, we don't know what that tune was. That's long ago been lost.

But the people at the time knew it. But he would start with a tune and he would write some lyrics to it. Another one, maybe sung a dove and the distant oak or a song to a song to dough of the morning. Right? So these are all songs that were, you know, the top 40 and a thousand years ago or something. Uh, everybody there would know it, but, uh, that, that tune has long been lost, but we have the lyrics still. So you have a British church, part of the Church of England, decided that they would rewrite the lyrics to God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen. They wanted to make it more inclusive of women and queer people

and exclude Christ and Christianity. That's their purpose, right? Just as we saw different versions, English versions of Carol of the Bells. The song was performed with the altered lyrics at a carol service on Monday. Sparked an argument within the Church of England as critics say the changes are a blatant attempt to inject a progressive political ideology. Well, that's right. But you understand that the progressives, for them,

it's not just a political ideology. It is really a religion. And so this is a religion that has taken over in the Church of England, for sure. I would just say, though, get your own name. You know, uh, Christians already taken, you can't co-opt that, but of course they always do, right? They co-opted the term liberal, for example. Uh, it used to mean people who favored liberty. Have you seen any liberals favoring liberty lately? I haven't, uh, maybe, you know, Tim, uh, Robbins is, uh, starting to, uh, understand that, but I don't. Maybe Tim Robbins is starting to understand that,

but I don't know. That's not usual anymore. Anyway, they removed all references to Christ as Savior, any mentions of overcoming Satan. They completely scrapped the nativity story, how the lyrics. The new version addresses the, quote, queer and questioning,

as well as women who by men have been erased through history ignored and scorned, defiled and displaced. Yeah, the lyrics are the thing. And I talk about this because you want to see how empty the contemporary American church is. Just look at the songs they sing. Musically, there's nothing there.

And the lyrics, five or six words repeated incessantly. Typically, though, if they say anything other than that, they will just talk about me, me, me. God only appears as a friend. Maybe. That type of thing. So the updated text was shared on Twitter, created a backlash. The woman who posted it explained, well, this service, this is done at a service that was called a Mayor's Community Carol Service, which raises funds for children's hospice and was attended by people from the community who don't regularly attend church. And so we have to remake ourselves, and we have to become them, right? And this is also another failing of the modern church, not just being self-centered, focusing on our needs, forgetting God, but we want to share that

with you as well. So, you know, we want to make this available to the seeker-friendly. But again, going back to Isaiah, there is, you know, all have turned away. There's none who seek God. There aren't any seekers out there. That's the fundamental misunderstanding. But a former vicar, Reverend Matthew Firth, added to the outrage, saying that the words were clearly changed to fit a woke, unbiblical agenda. Well, in case he hasn't noticed, the Church of England has changed to fit a woke, unbiblical agenda. So some of the lyrics, new lyrics are, God rest you also women who by men have been erased,

through history ignored and scorned, defiled and displaced. Remember that your stories too are held within God's grace. No tidings of comfort and joy. Great. And then this one, I'll just read one more. God rest you queer and questioning. Your anxious hearts be still. Believe that you are deeply known and part of God's goodwill.

For all to live as one in peace, the global dream fulfilled. The global dream. There you go. It's a globalist agenda. They understand that. So what does this get us? Well, we've got a lot of Americans. This is coming from an organization that defends religious liberty.

So they did a poll. They're trying to get a feel from Americans at this time of year. Do you really understand the First Amendment? Do you understand religious freedom? A lot of people don't you know there's a one of the key organizations that is trying to stamp out the free exercise of religion is the freedom from religion organization that's what they actually call it it's like well i know that's what you think the constitution says but that's's not, it says freedom of religion. You're the one saying it's freedom from religion.

So they tried to snuff out anybody, any thing that they see that's religious everywhere. You got to take that away. Even if it's on private property, they come after it. So this is the Beckett Fund for Religious Liberty, a law firm. They said Americans showed sweeping support for Christian business owners acting on convention. And so what they did, you know, we have this trial that's before the Supreme Court right now. We have the LGBT guy, which kind of follows on the Masterpiece Bakery thing. This one is a lady who's designing websites and she said, well, I'm not going to design a website,

uh, for, uh, an event, uh, that I don't agree with religiously. Uh, so don't even ask that type of thing. So the Colorado human rights commission takes her to court. And that's a particular case. You know, they, they were involved in the ones against Masterpiece Cake, the baker, who first had a homosexual couple come in and wanted him to make a homosexual wedding cake. They targeted him. In his shop, he played Christian music. There's plenty of bakeries that they could have gone around that would have been happy to do it. And he said, and I would have says, I'll be happy to sell you anything off the shelf, but I'm not going to custom make a cake that is in defiance of my religious belief. So they took him to court. Colorado did it. He won in the Supreme court. He goes back to Colorado and then he's got a guy who comes in and says, well, I want you to bake a cake to celebrate the anniversary

of my transition. My trend, my, I called it called it his, a transversary cake. He said no, so now he's back, going back to the Supreme Court. But this one is there right now. And so they asked a hypothetical scenario, they said, which was actually exactly like the Supreme Court case, but with a key detail missing, I think. We actually asked a question, a hypothetical scenario where you've got a website designer who's asked to design a website

for a same-sex wedding. She has to decline because of her faith. We asked Americans if they thought... At LiveScoreBet, we love Cheltenham just as much as we love football. The excitement, the roar, and the chance to reward you. That's why every day of the festival, we're giving

new members money back as a free sports bet up to 10 euro if your horse loses on a selected race. That's how we celebrate the biggest week in racing. Cheltenham with LiveScoreBet. This is total betting. Sign up by 2 p.m. 14th of March. Bet within 48 hours of race. Main market excluding specials and place bets.

Terms apply. Bet responsibly. 18plusgamblingcare.ie. That should be allowed or not. Well, I said about 70% of Americans support the website designer. And so, you know, it is a, they did actually mention,

when I first looked through this, they did actually, I thought that they'd not mention that it was for a same-sex wedding. I thought it was just in general religion. But they did mention that because I thought that it would be different if they mentioned LGBT or same-sex. So they said about 70% of Americans support the website designer for now. These numbers are rapidly changing. So we asked Americans to what degree they think religion is part of the solution or part of the problem and the issues that our nation is facing today.

They said last year, 60% said religion was the solution. This year, that's dropped from 60% to 50%, dropping fast. So people are equally divided. A lot of people think that religion is not a part of the solution. A lot of people think it's the problem. He said, I see here a real opportunity for education. He doesn't understand. I think that's kind of ironic because he doesn't understand the reason that everything is changing so rapidly is simply because of education.

Education is not a thing in and of itself that is always good, right? You can get sent to a communist re-education camp, and if they're successful, what do they have? What have they turned you into? Education is based on what are you teaching people? What are the values that are you teaching people? What are the values that you're teaching people? Because that's what education is.

Outside of the values that you're teaching, the moral values, cultural values, all the rest of the stuff, it's just a technical training. And so he says, I see a real opportunity for education. That's right, because people are being miseducated. They're being propagandized by government schools, and that's why we see everything in our culture changing so rapidly. He said, we've got to fill people in. We've got to bring them up to speed on the good things that religion does. It's the schools, though, that are lying to people about both god and country so he said only 47 of americans realize that religious freedom is part of the first amendment

85 understand that free speech is but only 47% understand that, uh, religion is, and maybe it's even lower for people who think that you're right to redress your grievances peacefully. Uh, you know, which is, uh, one of the things that happened January 6th, I, I knew it was going to be a problem. I warned people about that, but still most of the people who were there and a lot of the people who were being persecuted by the FBI did nothing wrong. What they did was, for the most part, I'm not talking about the people who got violent and who broke in initially. I'm talking about the people who were curious, look up there, and there's no fighting going on.

And you got security guards say, come on in. I'm talking about the people who by the hundreds of thousands were caught in geofence warrants. That were there peacefully. Didn't even go into the Capitol. The precious Capitol. It's like you violated my holy of holies. My sacred temple here. No.

No. Those people are specifically protected by the constitution. The constitution that these people despise people in power because it puts limitations on them. So 85% understand free speech is there. 47% understand free exercise religion. Does anybody understand that you have a right to redress your grievances peacefully? These statistics did not improve with education.

Of course they wouldn't. I would expect that they would get much worse. The longer you stay in the government schools and even the private colleges are pushing through the curriculum that the government school has. Interesting aside here, he said, was the support for Native Americans. They asked another hypothetical. We asked the question about preserving Native American sacred sites because Native Americans often worship in the outdoors. He said they don't necessarily go to church or to a temple.

So a lot of the sacred sites that they've worshipped at for generations from time immemorial are now on federal land, and they're not necessarily always well protected. Yeah, because, you know, McCain and some others in Arizona, they took a massive federal park and sold it to an Australian mining firm that was going to use it, just basically strip mine it, turn it into a massive pit that was going to be visible from space. It was historical significance. I think it was the Apaches. I think it was, if I'm going from memory, I think it was Tonto Park. They're going to mine copper. But, you know, it was an historically significant battlefield for them. It also had religious significance for them.

It also was a federal park where people went for recreation, and they were going to get rid of all that for a very destructive mining purpose. Americans, though, overwhelmingly want to see these sites for Native American worship protected. Ninety percent of them indicated that that was the case. Why? Because they're taught to respect Native Americans by the schools, because that is part of their division. Dividing people into groups. This group is bad. This group is good.

That's a very dangerous thing. Very dangerous thing. Don't feel relieved if you're in the group that they temporarily say is a good group because they're going to be coming for you eventually. And they're going to, you know, rip everything. So how does this look that you know we have churches in england that are rewriting old christmas carols to appeal to a secular uh feminized uh feminist lgbt agenda uh the churches who know well we just have to do that

because we don't want to offend anybody. Churchgoing and belief in God stand at historic lows despite a megachurch surge. Or maybe it's because of a megachurch surge. At least a fifth of Americans today embrace no religion at all. Researchers call them nuns. Not N-U-N, but N-O-N-E. A similar number tell pollsters that they don't believe in God, which is an all-time high. In-person church attendance plummeted by 45% in the pandemic. According to ABC News analysis, most churches have reopened,

but a lot of people have not come back. Why do you think that would be? I remember, you know, as soon as this thing happened, I had John Rappaport. He was always right about this stuff from the very beginning, by the way.

And he was saying, we got to end this stuff by April, you know, early to mid April. He says, the way we end it, the churches have the key. He said, they way we end it, the churches have the key. He said they have to stand on their convictions.

They have to not be afraid to go to church. And if they do that, they're going to expose it as a lie. And that's one of the reasons why we saw pastors being arrested in Canada. It's one of the reasons they were coming after with massive fines, pastors all throughout California, the most notable being John MacArthur, because these people show up and remember, they had churches as the number one thing. People are going to get in this building and they're going to sing?

You're all going to die. You know, they're breathing out, right? They're breathing out all this stuff. If you can't, okay, we'll let you get together. After they ease it up a little bit, we'll let you get together, but you can't sing and you got to wear a mask and all the rest of this stuff. So if the churches would have just done this, they could have exposed this as a fraud.

But instead, they shut down and they exposed themselves as frauds. Frauds who put their faith in Fauci, who put their faith in the CDC, who put their faith in Trump, who put their faith in government. And they were afraid of government. They feared government. They feared death. They didn't fear God who conquered death so they shut down and I said that's not coming back to the way

that it was people have exposed themselves as fearful and, you know, shills for the government. It's not just shills for the government. They're just afraid. Never before, through all the plagues of Europe and everything else, never before during plagues or wars have governments shut down. Nobody would be audacious enough to demand that except Trump and Fauci. People are not getting together. They're generally not speaking to each other.

And not just in church, but everywhere. People are staying home. They're on their cell phones. They're on the internet. They're wired, but they're disconnected. They're wired to the internet, but they're not connected to humans and reality. So here's the thing. If you are wired to the internet, who's pulling your strings? Puppet? You become a puppet of these people. That's how they shape your attention.

And that's what it was designed for. That's what the internet was designed for by a DARPA psychologist, J.C.R. Licklider. The 1960s, they just didn't have the technology until they got to the 90s. And then as it starts coming online, CIA, NSA, all the intelligence community starts pouring money in as venture capitalists defined, uh, to, to startup companies who would be allowed to compete. They weren't giving, handing out people monopolies, but you know, if you were the right kind of guy or girl, uh, that's going to let them do what they want, like the FBI is doing on Twitter, we see.

Of course, they're doing it on all of the sites. But if you're going to play ball with them, then you come in and you can compete. It's the same way that they do it with politics. They get people who they know that are going to be compliant with them, and they've got a lot of different ways to get you out of the competition if you're a problem. But there's a real competition there,

which makes the thing seem authentic when it's really controlled behind the scenes. It's tempting, if not entirely accurate, to conflate the nuns, the N-O-N-E-S, with non-believers, yet a Pew analysis found that a significant share of nuns consider religion to be important in their life. Somebody who has no religious affiliation, they may well value religion, and they may well believe in God. Or maybe, as Mark Twain said,

God created man in his own image, and man returned the favor. We created a God in our own image. Boy, imagine one. And that's what they want. In 1954, at the height of the Cold War, President Eisenhower signed a bill that added the words, Under God, to the Pledge of Allegiance. The next year, he signed a bill that inscribed,

In God We Trust, on our currency. A political scientist said, At the time, to be a communist was an atheist yeah the way we referred to them in our family was godless commies you know that's that's pretty accurate because they are they're godless if you look at what the communists did they shut down the churches they made no deal about why because to them it's a political move they don't want to have any institutions that stand in opposition to them. And so the communists today are also shutting down the families because that is an institution that they do not control sufficiently.

They must control everything. And so this is similar to what you see being done by the likes of Zelensky, shutting down the churches in his country. First thing he did when he got in, create another Ukrainian version of the Eastern Orthodox Church. And now he is going into full on shutting down, arresting people if they are part of the older church. But you had Fauci and Trump and other people like gladys and australia you know shutting down churches everywhere we're going to take a quick break and we'll be right back stay Thank you. Your Your love. C.R. Hayes left a tip, said, David, I doubt you'll read this on air. I subscribe to Rockfin through your show.

Also, as you can see from my donation, I agree with many of the things you say and believe. Yet, I am surprised that you condone a so-called holiday honoring Jesus' birth. Did you know that there's only two accounts describing birthday celebrations in the Bible, both by non-God-fearing men? So please check out, and he has a website there, www.jw.org. Well, I'll just say this. Some people esteem one day holier than another, and some people esteem every day the same. So each person should follow their understanding of that.

But there is no prohibition of celebrating Christ's birth. I've always taught this with my children, that, look, I understand that this holiday was picked because it was already an existing holiday and they wanted to take it over. I don't really necessarily have a problem with that. Just like we were talking about the Ukrainian carol. You got a carol that, first of all, talks about spring and you know a new year's celebration in Ukraine when it comes to America a guy makes it about a secular Christmas celebration just a holiday everything is just you know everybody's fun the bells are ringing we're

shopping and all the rest of this stuff then somebody else makes it about Christ I think that we ought to be taking over the culture not running from it and so I don't have a problem if it gives me an opportunity to talk to people about it. And I think it's important, and I always opposed the Santa Claus mythology and all the rest of that stuff. I told my kids, I said, look, you know, this is the way, if we read between the lines, and I look at, you know know you look at the chronology it's a it's kind of a tenuous thing there but you look at uh the story about john the baptist and his father the priest and um you know the time that and they are specific about which group he

was in and we know the schedules of these different groups in terms of, uh, you know, chronology during the year. And so if you trace all of that, and then, you know, you know, that Jesus has followed about six months after John the Baptist and all the rest of this stuff, it puts the time somewhere in the spring or the fall. We can't be sure because they went twice. So we don't know which, which one it was, but it would have been spring or fall, I think. And, um, you know, again, I'm not going to be dogmatic about that, but, um, that would also make more sense for some of the other things that happened because, you know, shepherds out on the, with their flocks in the field in the middle of winter, it's rainy season and it's cold.

You know, they typically would not do that. So there's a lot of different things like that. And so I said, look, we, we have different ways that we can live our lives. Everything that is presented to us, we can either take every thought captive or we can run and hide and try to live a monastic life. I try to do the other. So before we have Tony come on, let's talk about whether or not they're going to lock us down. This is an interesting, a couple of things interesting

about travel mobility, whether we're talking about flying or whether we're talking about automobiles. Show a picture of this non-stop flights around the world. A star Wars like aircraft could travel 11,000 miles in one trip. Actually, I've got a video of the plane. Let me show you the video of the plane, why they say it looks like star Wars. It looks like, uh, it does. It's got these long wings. And when the thing is parked on the ground or when it's vertically taking off, they're pointing straight up.

So it does look like something out of Star Wars. And then once it gets up off the ground, they lower the wings and then take off. And it has a very large wingspan on that. But it's not really like, you know, like one of these Star Wars things, but it does look a bit like it when it is parked there. The Ranger is a vertical takeoff plane that claims to travel farther than any passenger airliner, and it can travel rooftop to rooftop. It can stay in the air for 22 hours.

It would be able to travel 11,000 miles. And so it is currently the longest nonstop flight. And they said currently the longest non-stop flight and they said currently the longest non-stop flight in the world is singapore airlines 9500 mile journey from new york to singapore this would be 11 000 significantly longer how does it do it because it's an electric plane well it it uh before i get to that though they do say that it will have kitchen and toilet facilities. I hope so, because you're going to be in it for 22 hours. That's a long time to wait.

Anyway, the wings unfold to, as I said, very large, 75 feet. It can cruise at 510 miles per hour, has a maximum altitude of 15,000 feet. Unlike a purely electric aircraft, however, it uses jet engines as generators to charge the battery. Now, you know, there was a vehicle that did that. It was, it was the electric car that Eric Peters really liked as a Chevy volt. And they had a small engine in it that would charge the batteries. And so you essentially had an unlimited range and, um, you had a Mazda talk about doing the same thing and using a rotary engine

because they're very small and compact. But Chevy stopped making the Volt because it was technically not a zero emission vehicle. And we've got to have zero tolerance of anything, right? That produces any emissions. It's so ridiculous. Again, as Eric Peters has pointed out, 0.04% of the atmosphere is carbon dioxide. And most of that is not coming from our vehicles. So why are we so concerned about this thing?

It's absurd. And so you're going to have something that's got just a little bit of emissions? Oh, no, we can't have that. This is the absolutism of these people. This is how you know that they're authoritarians, that they're totalitarians. It's just like speech. You must say exactly what I say and nothing else. You must take only what I allow you to take medically.

You must only drive what I dictate to you to drive. And if it's going to be an electric car, it must be an electric car that runs off of the grid that I control. Do you understand where these people are coming from? There's nothing technological about this. There's nothing environmental about this. So, uh, we, and as a matter of fact, besides the vault, which again, they had to shut it

down. Why? Because it was going to be banned. You know, you have already in the UK and Europe and other places, they will not allow cars that have any emissions whatsoever inside the city. And that includes hybrids. That includes a car that's got a little tiny generator that charges the batteries that, you know, so that you can keep going. Uh, somebody took a Tesla and they scooped out the back and they put a metal, um, uh, heat, uh, deflector in there and set an engine up there. And it looks like what doc did to the DeL and um you know back to the future

except you put in mr fusion and they put in an engine and they said look at this i got 11 i've got a thousand mile range with this thing before i have to fill this up a syrian girl thank you very much thank you very much uh merry christmas david and family i agree that doesn't matter when we celebrate the birth of christ as long as we celebrate it in our hearts and joy in his Christmas present to us, salvation and eternal life. Yes, that's my feeling on it. I take any opportunity that it occurs to me to talk about it. But getting back to this, so again, one of the things that I thought was interesting was they said, unlike a purely electric aircraft, this plane it's called the aura ranger can recharge its batteries and extend its loiter time as required by flying within a holding pattern and a forward

flight mode with sustainable aviation fluid, uh, fuels and other innovations. So you get into a situation where you get into holding pattern. Think about this, right? You got some kind of unexpected emergency on the ground, or you got extra traffic for some reason. Uh, can you get into put the air traffic controllers, put you in a holding pattern? What are they going to do with these planes when they're being operated by batteries only?

And they start to come into an area and something unexpected has happened. They need to put you in a holding pattern, but now you've got an emergency because you don't have enough juice to keep going and you got to land, but you can't land because there's other things that are happening here. And what if, when you get a whole bunch of electric battery-operated planes that have to land? So, you know, this is the issue before us. And before we go to Tony, do you have Tony yet? Okay, before we go to Tony, let me just say this from the car side.

This is an article that got my attention. E-fuel, E-fuel. And Porsche is replacing gasoline with air and water. That's the headline from Fox News, but it's something of a clickbait headline because it's not exactly right. Nevertheless, Porsche has joined Toyota as a grid skeptic. That's the way I put it, a grid skeptic. They know that there's not enough power there.

They're just going to ban all cars. And they're not going to be able to do that. And they're not going to be able to race the cars either. So Porsche, Lamborghini are looking at this and saying, you know, maybe we can come up with some kind of a fuel that is acceptable to them. And maybe they will let us still have our races and stuff like that. Uh, the automaker has, uh, filled up a nine 11 for the first time with a new synthetic fuel created out of thin air and water. E fuel was developed by a company called highly innovative

fuels. The automaker has invested in as a hedge against being forced to go all electric. The company makes the fuel. Listen to this. This is what's really funny. It's how they do this stuff. They go to a wind-powered plant in Punta Arenas, Chile, near the tip of South America, where the wind blows an average of 270 days per year. You talk about something being this bespoke fuel. I mean, this is beyond what Gavin Newsom is dictating to refiners to do. Oh, well, we'll go someplace.

Make sure that everything in the factory runs off of wind. Where can we go to find wind power? Cause this highlights the, the unreliability of wind power. You got to go to this special place on the tip of South America to be able to reliably run windmills. What about everybody else? Well, that's just the scam to transfer money to some billionaires who bought in on this thing early and got the government to ban all their competitors. The fuel combines carbon captured from the atmosphere with hydrogen source from the water to create methane.

Methane? Couldn't we just go to a dairy in the Netherlands and get all of our methane? They seem to think that they've got too much of it there. Maybe, you know, it's right next door to Germany. Maybe Porsche could go to the Netherlands and, you know, we could have our milk and our cows and our methane and all the rest of this stuff. They said they convert it into a fuel. First, they create methane.

They convert it into a fuel then that works the same as gasoline. They said they were able to use it in the 9-11 without any modifications. Any gasoline car could use it without modifications. So this pilot plant in this very special place where the wind is constantly blowing has an output of 34,000 gallons annually. It'll be ramped up to 143 million gallons by later this decade. So there's not going to be any help coming from this, and even worse, because this thing is so specialized and so technical that it costs $45 per gallon. They claim they're going to get that down to only $8 a gallon by 2026, but then you start adding in all the different taxes and all the rest of this stuff.

This is still going to be like the bespoke California blends. And, um, it's a way of banning all cars once they get that expensive, it requires as much carbon dioxide to make as it emits in its emissions, so essentially it's a net zero fuel. But will they be able to get the government to agree to that? And they're not sure.

Porsche and other sports car companies, even the Formula One series, have been investigating its implementation in order to preserve the performance and the aural entertainment benefits, the sound of internal combustion engines and their products. The CEO of Lamborghini has said he's also very interested in it. He said, this is something that we are still looking into. We have to see what the legislature is going to say. If there's going to be an opportunity or a window for these types of cars with hybrids

still in the 30s, even utilizing synthetic fuel. It's all political. It's all dictatorial. This is a communist plan because only in a communist, authoritarian, totalitarian society do you have to get the government's permission on the most minute things. Well, I don't know if they'll allow it. You can't out-engineer these social engineers. There's a lot of different things that we could do.

But as long as you hold to their fiction, that you are going to accept the narrative, that we're all going to die if we've got too much carbon dioxide. If you don't challenge that at its fundamental root, that's why we're going to have to have radical change. What does that mean? Radical means you take it out by the root. The root of this problem is in the climate change issue that they teach all the kids. They've hammered it into the

kids for decades. And if we don't attack the root of the problem, that fundamental lie, if we're going to try to work around that lie, if we're going to try to build on top of that lie, they're going to destroy everything that we build. You can't build on that foundation. We're going to take a break and we're going to connect with Tony Arterman, Wise Wolf Gold in just a moment. We'll be right back. Stay with us. Thank you. And now, The David Knight Show. All right, joining us now is Tony Arterburn with Wise Wolf Gold. Of course, Tony's got his own podcasts and several of them he's doing things with.

But he's also set up DavidKnight.Gold. I really do appreciate that, Tony. Thank you for the support. I appreciate that. I've got a listener who has a question, Tony. He says, how will CBDC affect the military? And should we just leave active duty because of it? You were in the military.

What do you think about this? Well, you're going to have to accept the currency of the government. What do you think about this? Well, you're going to have to accept the currency of the government that employs you. I don't think there's any way around that. I mean, the Roman soldiers accepted salt. That's why they call it salary.

You know, there was different, different. I didn't know that. That's funny. They call it salary. And of course they started revolting after, devalue and debase the currency and took the silver out of the coin.

Some of the soldiers revolted. So, um, that'll be up to you. Yeah. I don't think that you'll be able to get around that as an active duty military person. You're right. They're going to, they're going to, they're going to determine how they pay you. And it will be in CBDC. However, even if you get out, you're still going to have to have a plan on how to get

around that. And I think all of us are going to, it's going to be a mixed economy. Uh, there's going to be certain things where all of us will have to deal with that in some way or the other, I think. Uh, but you want to be able to as much as possible have things that are outside of that economy. Yeah. And this is something that is very common throughout the world right now. And a lot of very corrupt governments or places where they have completely corrupted the currency, people will deal in that, but there'll be an active black market where they trade and barter with each other and that type of thing. Well, right. You might not be interested in central bank

digital currency, but central bank digital currency is interested in you. And that's a great battle of our lifetime right now. You were talking at the first part of the show about Christmas and the Christmas truce during World War I and that beautiful story. And I wrote an article back in 2017 called A Cold War Christmas Carol. And it's a little known fact that I don't hear a lot of historians talking about, but if you look at 1979, I was born on day one of the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan. So they went in the latter part of Christmas day

in 1979. And at that time, as you know, David, the United States was going through economic, they called it malaise, the Carter administration, we looked really weak. They call it the mighty Soviet Union. It was like a colossus, and nobody thought that 11 years later to the day on Christmas that it would collapse and break into 16 pieces. I see God's hand in that. A lot of times we think of things as just unstoppable, and there's no way that you can stand against it. But again, you look at that history. They invaded Afghanistan 11 years to the day. Gorbachev gives up the ghost and it breaks into 16 pieces.

I remind people of that as we look towards the challenges of the central bank digital currency and other monolithic challenges like the Great Reset. These things aren't set in stone. So it is important for you to have a plan. How are you going to be outside of the system? Because the CBDC is coming. I don't care if you like it or not. It doesn't matter.

It is coming. Adoption is another thing. I mean, we don't have to, to adopt now businesses like mine will be targeted. It's one of the reasons why I set up Wolfpack because we're going to collectively, I believe together, we'll be stronger, uh, have better buying power and be able to communicate. And we'll have a, again, a, a system of precious metals outside of the central bank digital currency. That's at least my goal. None of this is set in stone.

And so this is, I think, a good time to reflect, especially during Christmas. Because I see God's hand working right now, and especially in your show and informing people. And I think that's the real power that we have. Well, you know, I've looked at gold over the years, and it's one of these things, as you've pointed out, everybody points out, they manipulate the markets. They manipulate the markets for gold, for silver, for stocks, for everything, bonds, you name it, right?

Crypto. Everything is manipulated by these people. But when you look at it as an investment, you know, you don't know what's going to happen with inflation. You know, is inflation going to, what kind of an effect is inflation or even a depression or both of them together or whatever? What's that going to have? We don't really know for sure, but we do know for sure how they want to enslave us with CBDC. And so that's why to me, it's become an imperative for preparation because we have to have something that is outside of their system because we know what they want to do with their system. That is given and that is coming, as you pointed out.

There's no way that we're going to stop it. It's whether or not we have to adopt it or participate in what extent can we get outside of it. And the only way that you're going to do that is with some real money which is with a precious metal that's why uh at this point in time uh i am um real supportive of precious metals when i've kind of been oh i don't know in the past i don't know you know kind of trying to read the tea leaves as to what's going to happen with markets and metals and all the rest of the stuff that are highly manipulated but we know the manipulation that's coming is the cbdc to

enslave us and we've got to get outside of that oh 100 and i think in the coming years we're going to start seeing more of a separation between what is real and the fake which is the system is fake yeah i'll give you an example i was listening to jim rickards and robert kiyosaki and they were trying to determine, if you look at SLV on the market or GLD, but let's look at silver, let's look at SLV as an ETF. And let's remind people what that is. That's the paper gold and the paper silver

that's supposedly backed up with metals at the Shanghai Gold Exchange. And if you believe that, I've got a breakdown for you. If you look at the paper silver SLV, it's estimated that there is for every ounce of silver that's represented on the SLV, it needs to be back. There's 240, right? So there's 240 fake ounces for every one ounce. So if everybody showed up to get their silver it would completely collapse the system and that's why the prices again that's one of the um ways

that they manipulate to keep the prices so low because as you and i know that silver demand is high i mean you can't find it i mean and uh yesterday wolfpack got a big christmas present because i was been kind of desperate looking for a load of silver. We got over 1,000 ounces yesterday because of the Wolfpack members. I may have just write a check for it, and I have it here at the shop, so that'll go out here in the next couple of weeks. But yeah, it's hard to find, but you look on, and you'll see the spot prices, and you'll see the red ink, and it's going down, but you can't find it. So that's one of the ways that they do it, but that won't last forever, David. And again, I think that's one of the ways that they'll usher in the central bank digital currencies is to just say, look, you know, we've, we've had some price devaluations. There's so much manipulation. Cash is a problem. We have to rein in the money supply. We need to

have, you know, real time, uh, the real time ability to control the money supply. That's how they'll sell it. They'll sell it as safety. They'll talk about all the things, the criminality that's done with cash. Cash isn't safe. Cash has disease on it, just like they talked about during COVID. It's got disease. It's got drugs on it. You don't want to have any of that stuff.

You don't want anything to do with that. That's the way that they'll sell it. But we know what the real plan is. It's total control and surveillance. Yeah. And they've already made that shift. I just think it's funny when we talk about the paper gold and the paper silver at 240 to one, it's like, uh, they, they brought a fractional banking to, uh, precious metals with that. Haven't they, you know, there's, there's nothing there. It's, uh, that's funny, but, um, you know, they're, they're already making this move. We had Elizabeth Warren, the great protector of all consumers, uh, financially, right. She gets together with Roger Marshall or Republican, and they waste no time in capitalizing

on, uh, the fear and suspicion about crypto building on that using of all people, SBF, who's been so tied to them, right? He's going to be their poster child for why all things crypto are evil. You know, we wouldn't have to worry about the drug war if we didn't have crypto. And I saw this stuff and it's like, what are they trying to tell people? I mean, you know, they've been fighting the war on drugs for 50 years and, uh, you know, they, they couldn't control it for 50 years. And so now they're talking about crypto and they've got to shut down crypto so we can

win the war on drugs and all the rest of this stuff. Uh, but it is, it's pretty clear that they're going to be making their move. And the first thing I think they're going to come after is going to be a crypto, uh, because that's going to be the easiest target for them. And they're going to play this SBF thing to the hilt to try to portray it as something that is risky, dangerous, and most of all fraudulent. So they can push their fraudulent fiat currency on us. That's the amazing thing. Oh, and anybody that knows anything about currency knows that cryptos are just dwarfed by the dollar and criminality.

You know, drug cartels have piles and pallets of cash. They don't really use crypto. You look at somebody like the Sam Bankman fried, I mean, it just makes you think, what's in a name? You know, it's like the whole thing with Bernie Madoff. Like he made off with your money. That's right. Bank man fried.

And I just think this is so weird. And of course, they will use him. Look how dangerous crypto is. And it's all a scam and it has to be regulated and of course the answer problem reaction solution is going to be the central bank digital currency i'm so glad that you're talking about this and i i knew that you would it's a that's why i sponsor your program why i follow you and i support you because i know that you're on the cutting edge of all of this stuff when it's not popular you know know, you're talking about, you know, it's two years since you left InfoWars and guess what? Because I filled in for you. I left there too. And that's, I love it. You know, that I never, I never was back again. And I'm proud that to stand with you on that because

you were absolutely 100% correct and had a lot of courage well so i mean look we look at what's happening and i think people are starting to wake up to this fact and um you know the problem reaction solution of of stuff that they're going to collapse i mean we just see it coming a mile away now i mean it just seems predictable at this point yeah and you know i i saw them making all these uh these moves and everything and i thought well the right here at christmas time where they shoved the federal reserve, but they don't have enough time to push this thing through. They got this continuing resolution perhaps,

or else a vote on this big funding bill. That's got everybody's attention, but that's a preview of what's coming. And, and it absolutely is coming and it's coming on an accelerated timeframe, I think. And that's, that's the key thing.

It's going to be here faster than people think. And, um, uh, tell people a bit about a Wolfpack and how that operates. Cause you mentioned that earlier, and I'm sure that we've got some listeners who, uh, don't understand what that is or haven't heard of it before. Well, sure. And you know, you can, um, you can go to David knight.gold and you can go direct. If you want to just buy a little bit of silver, a little bit of gold or a lot, or if you want to roll over an IRA or 401k, you can go to davidknight.gold and you can do that.

And David gets a commission and credit on that. But we are working on a project that I'm so passionate about now. Every day I wake up and I think of a new idea for it. It's Wolfpack. And you can go to davidknight.gold and you can click a tab that says Join Wolfpack. And what it is, it's a membership program. It starts at $50 a month on the Lone Wolf package. It goes up to the Wise Wolf package at $500.

We buy your gold and silver for you. So the more people that join, it's a collective. I get more buying power, so I can do like I did yesterday and buy $25,000 worth of silver, and that's going to go out to the members. That's guaranteed delivery. It's once a month shipping out. But what we're going to create, and it's this kind of the behind the scenes, is a network. I mean, I'm going to have a Telegram channel. I'm working on that right now so people can communicate. We've got direct sales. It'll be a shopping cart, a newsletter. It's really a community. And I get

excited about it because I'm thinking, my goodness, you know, I didn't think about when I first started, it was more or less like, well, I'll put together, you know, I'll get, go get 50 members. That'll help me with a little bit of liquidity. I can buy some things for those members, but we're way past that. And I want to thank everybody who was patient because I had to reset the website. I didn't expect the enthusiasm. I didn't see that coming. So now that it's, I mean, I wake up every morning, I've got new members and I'm thinking, okay, good. This is great. And we're going to build on that. So I just invite everybody to go take a look at wolfpack.gold, which is you can find through davidknight.gold. And we have a section on there. You can just scroll down and say,

where did you hear about us? And you can see David Knight's on there. We'll give David Knight credit. But I'm really, I just really am. I'm so thankful that that, that was put into my heart to do. I didn't, I'm not a genius or anything. I've seen some other membership programs, but this one's a little unique because of the tiers that we set up, you know, and we kind of capped it and that way for liability and other things. And so you can, you can go check, check it out. I think it's going to be a really great program for everybody. And the more people we get, the stronger we get. Yeah. I like it because it's not, you know,

it's like a buyer's club or it's like a layaway program where you're constantly, you know, laying away a certain amount each month, but what your vision is to have a community. I think that's very important. Uh, we, we need to get outside of social media and other things like that and get closer together with, um, you know, a community of, uh, listeners. And we've got some people, some listeners to this program that do that with, uh, uh, Twitter was on Twitter right now.

Knights of the storm. Uh, they do that type of thing as well because they've got a good community where they communicate with each other on Rockfin on a regular basis. And, of course, tonight we've got a program we're going to be doing for people who are Rockfin Premium members. It's a certain amount of money each month. I forget what it was. Is it, um, I think it's like a five, $10 or something to become a member on rock fan.

And, um, then, uh, you can watch any of the content that's on rock fan, but, uh, tonight we have the programs at 7. P.M. Eastern time. And, uh, so, uh, you know, they, it's kind of that core group of people and they put that together, but I think, you know, that's an important thing with financial issues and around the Wolfpack. I think that's a very important thing. It's a very useful thing.

Oh, we're really excited about it. Kenzie, I have to thank her. You know, I couldn't have done it without her. I mean, she's just amazing and doing the back office work. And I'm more of the scatterbrained entrepreneur, creative guy. I mean, you talk about my podcast. I have to stop. I keep doing more podcasts and more things and then realize I don't have more time.

So I have to be careful about that. I have more ideas than time. So I wanted to tell your audience, too, because we've got a little bit more time left in your show. Sure. Whatever you guys donate on Rockfin today, I'll match it on Cash App for David. So whatever the total cost, you've got another an hour and what is an hour and 10 minutes or so.

Yeah. Okay. So whatever that whatever's left, folks, you know, go, go reach into your pockets, go on Rockfin. I'll look at the total on Rockfin. I'll send it over on Cash App. But that's going to be a gift from wise wolf Christmas present to David for.

Wow. Thank you, Tony. I really do appreciate that. That's really kind of you. Uh, what, what else is on that? That is really nice. What else is on your, on your radar here in terms of, uh, finance gold, what's happening right here at the end of the world and the end of the year, you know, we have, uh, everything

rolling together. And, um, you know, I, I say end of the world because I see Zel of the year you know we have uh everything rolling together and um you know i i say end of the world because i see zielinski there and that's just the first thing that comes to mind is like i can't believe what is what is being done with all this stuff but uh yeah they're pushing it pretty hard but what the end of the year what is uh what's on your mind well i just i look at the undercurrent of things that aren't really talked about i mean the records that are being broken right now you You know, it's funny. The central banks want to create central bank digital currency, which is worthless garbage fiat digitized surveillance.

But they buy gold. That's what I always tell people. Don't look at what they say. Look at what they do. And if you look at the record, you know, ordering of gold was 2018 and leading up into 2019. It was 2018, and I think it was like 214 tons ordered by central banks in the land the third quarter of this year was 400. yeah it's 400 tons um so the central banks around the world are all preparing for the next level and the next

level is going to be a big uh reset of a devaluation of all currencies. That's what I'm concerned with is that I think the normalcy bias. And again, I'm not an economic expert. I don't claim to have, I don't claim to have some special insight. I just know that I I'll watch people like Jim Kramer and go, okay, I'm going to do the opposite.

Whatever he's doing, I'm doing the opposite. So, but you do what Nancy Pelosi's husband does because he's got the inside scoop. He knows what he, what industries and things they're going to reward and which ones are going to punish so that's a surefire bet he's really good at hammering it's really good at nailing down those stock but yeah i just i look at the the establishment and you know you talk

about zielinski coming in david and i mean how the mighty have fallen can you imagine i mean previous generations uh you know the say what you will about uh you know people like eisenhower or nixon or i mean they wanted peace at some level yeah you know that's why you know i mean uh even you know richard nixon for all his faults i mean his gravestone says peacemaker and that's what he wanted to be we even kissinger know, whatever is going on. Kissinger is like, uh, wait a minute.

I want to make it to a hundred, you know, uh, I know that's where that, you know, things are bad when Kissinger goes, guys, calm down.

I know Kissinger is the guy trying to pull them back. It's crazy. It really is. I just can't believe, I can't believe it. And you know, the, the,

what we've given them, I think it's estimated like what? 76 billion at this point. It's going to be with this new amount. That's going to be 112. We're going to wind up giving them in nine months and it's just out of control, but it's not enough as he said, you know, cause we kind of keep, and, and again, you know, when we're shooting, when we're giving them missiles to shoot into Russia, uh, you go back and

look at the Cuban missile crisis. How in the world do we think this doesn't lead to anything other than a direct confrontation? And, of course, Russia as well as NATO are saying, well, we're right on the cusp of that. So you think that's going to happen this next year? I pray that we find some way out of this. And the only leader that I think could do anything about this is Vladimir Putin. I mean, they had the report coming out. What was the Washington Post?

It was saying that there's no evidence that Russia blew up the Nord Stream pipeline. At least there's some kind of sanity coming out of it. I mean, as we careen into this, there's, again, I think the powers that be want a first strike by Russia, some kind of escalation so NATO can respond and we can look justified. There's got to be a peacemaker somewhere. And I think we just got to pray for that. I mean, you look back at the, you mentioned the Cuban Missile Crisis. Can you imagine being JFK sitting around that table? They even brought in Dean Acheson.

Dean Acheson was the Secretary of State under truman and they brought in everybody and all of the advice every piece of advice he got from everyone was airstrikes followed by invasion to hit cuba he went against the advice of every single person in his cabinet and did that back channel communique with with khrushchev and traded those jupiter missiles in turkey uh for you know for the missiles in cuba um we don't have that and of course there's a reason why the deep state murdered jfk which is you know if you look at that american university speech that he did in 1963 uh it's a very i i encourage people to go listen to it it's a very beautiful speech about peace we don't hear about peace anymore that's right and i can tell you this is as i fought in three foreign wars um i'm disgusted by war i'm disgusted by what it does if you've ever seen uh the effects on a child

you're seeing a child without their parents you've seen um you know apartment buildings bombed by smart bombs you know sent by some sociopath in washington dc triangulating trying to hit a political headquarters i've seen that and you don't ever get over seeing that. And I think that, you know, as Christians, we have to resist the urge to fall in line for some sort of, you know, faux nationalism when it comes to war and not be so easily goaded. We need to be skeptical of that. Yeah, there are things that there are justified times to fight, like St. Augustine talked

about, but none of these things are justified that we're doing right now. And again, it's, it's, it's God's will. We have to, we have to really just pray and, and, and humble ourselves because it's going to be challenges ahead. But again, miracles can't happen, David. Yeah. And I think that we are going to have to lead because if you make these things from a geopolitical standpoint, you're always going to have these people telling you, well, here's what we got to do. You know, we got to take them out before they take us out. That's the same calculus that the Japanese had at Pearl Harbor, but it's also fundamentally immoral. And we all know that at a gut level. And so we need to take the lead on that and get back to where we stop these preemptive quote unquote, pragmatic things that blow up into war. They're not pragmatic, but people think they

are, and they can be sold that way, always sold that way. And unless we've got a moral check on this saying, we're not going to do this because it's immoral. That's the way you stop this. I just don't see it happening with the Russians either. Because, Tony, because for the longest time, Alexander Dugin, going back into the 90s, he looked at what NATO was doing in terms of pushing after the collapse of the Soviet Union for a little bit of time. They thought, okay, great, you know, we're not going to have the Soviets soviets versus the u.s

we can kind of peacefully coexist and then when they started looking at the aggressive moves of nato some of the people dugan was the first one to say they're they're coming after us it's just going to be a question of how quickly and so that has really now consolidated in the mind of putin and the other advisors there. And everything that we've done has been to validate that position, that this is about wiping out Russia. And that's even what Kissinger talked about. He said, there's a lot of people out here that just want to get rid of Russia. Do you realize what's going to happen with that massive amount of land and all these different people groups

and how they're going to be fighting each other in an area that's got the second largest number of nuclear missiles, that is not, that is a prescription for chaos, not a prescription for peace to get rid of Russia. So, you know, I think that's one of the reasons why he was so concerned about it, because this relentless push that he understands is really the consensus opinion now with everybody in NATO and Washington that you've got to eradicate Russia. And the Russians understand that. They understand that, well, okay, if they pull back from Ukraine now, NATO's going to still keep coming after them. So to me, it looks like we're going to have to do something on this side. We're going to have to stand up and take the moral high ground,

or we're going to see war come to our country this year. It's just that simple. Because it's not going to be abroad this time. It's going to be coming to us this time. And Americans just can't imagine that. We think we live in some privileged bubble, but nothing is going to touch us like that. And we've got to get over that and understand everything we have is at risk. And that's why they're pushing this, because they want it to be us like that. And we've got to get over that and understand we, everything we have

is at risk. And that's why they're pushing this because they want it to be a war here. Well, you're absolutely right. And you look at the fall of the Soviet Union at that, that Christmas I was talking about where Gorbachev resigns and it breaks apart. You know, you had a secretary of state, James Baker come out and tell Gorbachev, give a verbal promise. You know, you would draw your troops into the borders of Russia from the Soviet outpost and we won't expand NATO. And of course we did. And following that, David was the Wolfowitz memorandum. If you've ever read that by Paul Wolfowitz, I mean, it's clearly a provocation and even an outline to use tactical nuclear weapons to box in russia to keep it completely uh you know hobbled yeah and again that's that's a recipe for war but again russia and i think this must be some

kind of spiritual thing because the our leaders understand yes they have nuclear weapons they have a space program they have uh nuclear submarines icbms all that but but their population dave and people don't realize this. This isn't Pat Buchanan's The Death of the West. I mean, this is demographics. Demography is destiny. You've got all those lands that were seized by the czars that were once in the hands of China.

I mean, that's up for grabs. But the population is really what you need to pay attention to. By 2050, the Russian people, their population will be about what our population was in 1947 yeah they are losing a net population about two million people a year it's funny we always that's why putin was pushing everybody get married have kids you know and we got to keep the lgbt out of here because you know the uh you know he understands he's got

a demographic collapse and then the the Europeans have it as well. Well, that's but see, that's again, that's another fantasy of the military industrial complex. And I think there's Luciferian. I think a lot of our foreign policy is a ritual. I'll go out on a limb and say that I think it's some kind of sacrifice. We put some of our best and bravest in these no win wars. But we're always doing like the next Hitler. You know, it's always 1939, David.

It's always Munich. It's always, and it's not because you look at these countries that, I mean, Saddam Hussein, we flew 40,000 sorties, you know, flights of Iraq over 10 years. He couldn't shoot down one aircraft, but he's going to take over the world. You know, and again, that's the same thing with with russia you know and it's funny the propaganda is so thick and uh i don't i'm i'm just i'm really thankful to to god that i can see some of this that just i kind of laugh it off but it's not funny because it's so strong but look at drudge drudge doesn't do this anymore but they were saying oh that putin's losing a thousand soldiers a week and i'm like that's impossible oh drudge

has become such a propagandist. Again, I don't know if he still has anything to do with it or if he sold out in a different way. You know, did he take the money and leave or is he taking money to do this kind of stuff? But it's just amazing to see what it's become. And you're right. It absolutely is nothing other than just ludicrous, dangerous propaganda. And it is satanic. It is a satanic thing.

It is about destroying the human race. That's what this is all about. Whether it's by depopulation, whether it's by massive war, it all comes down to, you know, let's kill humanity. And that's what these people are executing. They build these paper tigers like Saddam Hussein or Russia at this point in time. It's dangerous because of the nuclear missiles, but what we're doing is not anything that's going to make that more stable. We're making it more dangerous.

And so the things that they have that are dangerous are the things that we are making more volatile and less stable. That's the insanity of all this. But that's also their plan. That's how they reset everything and take down society. It's just horrible to have a front row seat to all this stuff and see it happening. It really is. And I'll leave with this. I think this is a great time

to start a business, to be a small business entrepreneur. It's a great time to start a podcast. It's a great time to get out and talk to people and share information and stand on principle. The supply chains, the world economy is changing. There's going to be a big shift to China. The elites built it that way. You know that, David. I know that. That's right. The United States, this is, all these top analysts, and one thing I can't understand about them,

they see the underlying consequences of the decisions, but none of them will say it's on purpose. Yeah. Because I can see it. They're like, oh, it's just stupid.

No, it's not just stupid because if they was just dumb, they would every once in a while bumble into something that helped us, but they don't. It's clearly a plan. Yeah, when they practice a plan for decades, you know, that's like, hey, we just need amnesty.

You know, it was very complicated. Mistakes were made. You know, that type of thing. You always hear that. Always. That's what we're going to hear when the missiles start flying. Well, who knew, right? Well, I just think let not your heart be troubled.

I think that there's a lot of opportunity right now. We have challenges. I got an email the other day from somebody that said, thank you for being optimistic. we serve a good god we serve a mighty god that it's going to oversee all this and as long as we don't succumb to um you know if we don't succumb to just despair which is not a use it's not a useful emotion that's right despair is not useful so uh it's christmas time you know we're going to celebrate the the birth of our savior let's do that and uh think about things that you can do and uh yeah you know it's interesting um you know jeremiah the the weeping prophet and he's talking about everything that's that's horrible in the midst of it one of the most optimistic things you know i know the plans i have for you plans to prosper not to harm and he tells him you know what you just said you know start a business uh he said he says uh have your kids

start families you you uh uh plant gardens and build houses and all that kind of stuff. Even though you're captive in a foreign country, do all this stuff. It's a very hopeful message right in the middle of all that despair. And we need to have that attitude. Martin Luther said, if I knew the world was going to end tomorrow, I'd still plant a tree today. And we need to have that kind of an attitude because we are the ones that have the liver, the fulcrum point that is outside of this life even. And that eternal fulcrum point gives us a lot of leverage to change things.

And that's the only way things are going to change, is if we can try to get our government or somebody in government, influence them or educate them to take the high road on this. And, of course, a lot of that is going to be prayer. That's why we're told to pray for our leaders. You pray for your leaders, you pray that there will be peace, and that's what we all pray for at this time. Tony, I really do appreciate you offering to match what's on RockFan, and they're running your bill up as we're talking here.

We got Hot Wife Fire, $20. Thank you, Harps, $5. rock fan and uh they're running your bill up as we're talking here we got hot wife hot wife fire twenty dollars thank you harps five dollars he said this is on tony cheers for the challenge guard goldsmith uh thank you very much he says uh that's fantastic happy christmas to tony and david thanks both and to all of you comrades in chat for such a great love of God and principles. By the way, I hear Kissinger wants in on Wolfpack. Sorry. That's one member I won't take. Sorry about that. Guard, Merry Christmas to you.

And thank you for all the things that you've done over this last year. You and Tony have really been amazing help to the show filling in. Frank Woods says, I'm in for $5. Come on, folks. Ante up, please. Yuri Jenkins, thank you. He says, Merry Christmas to you show filling in. Frank Woods says, I'm in for $5. Come on, folks. Ante up, please. Yuri Jenkins, thank you. He says, Merry Christmas to you and the family. What a wonderful guy Tony is.

I agree. Many blessings to you, too, he says. And Andromeda, thank you very much. Dear David, thank you for being a voice of reason and decency. Merry Christmas to you and your family. Conservative thinker, thank you very much. That's a big contribution. He says, thanks, Tony. Angus Mustang, thank you. He says, and another 10. Big Brains says,

Merry Christmas, David and Tony. Hey, David, now that you're in Tennessee, I'd really like to connect with my other favorite Tennessean, Ryan Telov from The Last American Vagabond. You both have very similar viewpoints and whatnot, just an idea. Thanks again for a place for us to remember normal. Well, thank you. I don't know him. I'll have to see if I can find him. I found out the other day, Tony, that Catherine Austin Fitz is in Tennessee, in Nashville,

because that's pretty far away from us. She's here part of the year. She's got a house here. She knows the guy that I interviewed about State Bank, Frank Nicely, the state senator here in Tennessee. Thought that was interesting. Geesebusters, Geesebusters. Thank you. That's very generous.

He says, Merry Christmas to the Knight family and free geese control for Tony. Maybe he's close to you there in I don't know, but MJ Nichols, thank you very much. Gotta make Wise Wolf pay up, he says, and Patrick, thank you. So you got a long, long list.

I love it, but I appreciate it. A wonderful year because of David Knight listeners. And, uh, I can't thank them enough. Can't thank you enough. And it's going to be a great 2023. Despite what the psychopaths are doing at the top, but you know, they've got, they've got a fake monopoly money printing press and we've got the truth. So let's see who wins. That's right.

Yeah. It is interesting to see that the truth is finally winning out on this pandemic stuff. But of course we've got to get some people going to remove the foundation for it because they're still going to pull something on us with that. Thank you so much for coming on Tony. And thank you for the help. I just can't thank you enough. And for all that you've done to support the program for the last year, uh, have a Merry Christmas and a happy new year.

And we'll see you, uh, afterwards. Okay, sir. All right. We'll talk about, uh, what's, what's coming, what we all see coming up in the next year. Uh, when you join us again, thank you, Tony. Appreciate it. Thank you, Dave. All right, folks. We'll be right back. Stay with us. Thank you. you're listening to The David Knight Show. You know, we have several people now, celebrities, that have passed away suddenly. And we're going to get to that coming up in a moment. But I want to finish one last thing here. We're talking about how needlessly complicated everything becomes once we start to accept their false premises, that we've got to have zero emissions on everything. And let me just read for you what this e-fuels thing that Porsche is using, Lamborghini would like to use it,

if the politicians will allow. May I please fuel my engine here? May I please have the freedom to innovate, to engineer things? Well, they're trying very hard to try to engineer around the obstacles that have been put in place by the social engineers. So listen to this. This is what they're doing at this special place where the wind blows 270 days out of the year. That's the best place they can find for solar panels, wind power. They said in the first year, a 3.4 megawatt Siemens wind turbine

will power a Siemens proton exchange membrane to produce green hydrogen from water via electrolysis at 65% efficiency. So it's got to be green because the energy that's used to produce, to, to separate out the hydrogen, uh, is coming from wind power. Oh, okay. So it's been sanctified from the very beginning. Commercialization will up the wind power to two and a half gigawatts, Marty. And, uh, further efficiency improvements are expected within the next five years. A global thermostat system extracts CO2 from the air using a sorbent coating on a porous ceramic honeycomb matrix. CO2 is periodically, quote, washed off, unquote, by low temperature steam to yield 98%

pure CO2. Green methanol is then formed by running the hydrogen and the CO2 through a Johnson-Mathie copper-zinc catalyst. Finally, the methanol is vaporized, superheated, and fed to a fluid bed reactor, where an Exxon Mobil catalyst helps to convert it to gasoline with water as a byproduct. They said this system is even simpler than the one they came up with in 2018. I can't imagine what kind of a Rube Goldberg thing that was. But you notice that it has to be green hydrogen, and it has to be green methane. And so they would not allow you, they would not consider it to be green methane,

I guess, if you've got a cow who is eating green grass out in a pasture and then you're collecting the methane from the cow. Yeah, maybe you have a little diaper or something on it, you know. So they said the eFuel can serve as a drop-in replacement for crude-based gasoline, lowering its carbon intensity figure to around 10, but not to zero. And see, that's the rub. That's the rub.

You know, that plane that has 11,000 mile range? Oh, it's not going to be green. Even though it just, because it uses a little bit of fuel to charge the batteries, just like the Volt was not green enough for them. So this is going to reduce the carbon figure to 10, not to zero. That still means though, that burning it results in 90% less net carbon than standard gasoline with identical performance properties,

but that's not going to be good enough for our dictators. That's how insane this all is. Brian, Deb McCarthy. Thank you very much. Merry Christmas, David and family. She says,

uh, God bless you all take some time to relax and enjoy the blessed holiday season. Yeah, that's a good point. Let me thank you, Mary Russell. I appreciate the tip. Let me say what our Christmas schedule is going to be.

We're going to do a best of show tomorrow. And I'm also going to put up, I had a lot of people ask about the Christmas carols and I appreciate that. Thank you for letting me know that you'd like that. And where they could buy them or download them. We're not going to sell them, but we're going to put them up for free tomorrow on the podcast. There'll be an audio version of the songs that we use for breaks here. And those are covers that I've done. These are songs that I've played in the past. Things that I have piano arrangements for that I rearranged and then orchestrated or something, or things I used to play when I was in band. And so, you know, just kind of, you know, I enjoy playing music and it's kind of a nostalgic thing for me.

So, and it gives us some different breaks. I wish I had more time to do some more of them, but we've got about a dozen of them now. And so we'll be putting those up as, and we'll just kind of chain them together. And they're not full songs. We just take the theme and put them in there because we need it for a break. And the breaks are about 30 seconds to a minute,

except for one of them, which is a little bit over about a minute 20 or something like that. And so we're going to put those up tomorrow and we'll put them on the audio podcast. And of course you can find the audio podcast everywhere except Spotify. Uh, Spotify hates me, uh, and takes, takes my content off all the time. And the, the scary thing about it is, is that, uh, Spotify has, uh, is now selling their, um, censoring software to other podcasts.

We can help you to censor. We got the software down, and they do. They know me, and they know what I'm talking about, and they can censor me based on my content. And so they may be passing that around everywhere, but we'll see. Even if we have to host our own audio version of it, we'll do that. Uh, but, uh, so we'll put it up on the podcast everywhere, uh, except for Spotify. You'll be able to find that tomorrow. We'll have a best of interviews tomorrow as well. And, uh, so we're going to take a little bit of extra time here with the family.

So I appreciate that. Thank you. Um, and thank you, Rhonda. I appreciate that. Thank you. And thank you, Rhonda. I appreciate that. Thank you very much. And thank you for the help you give us. Appreciate that. Well, we're still on transportation. There's a company called Too Simple, T-U, Too Simple. And they're having to lay off 350 employees, about a quarter of their workforce, and I'm sorry to see these people losing their jobs. However, I'm not sorry to see this company having difficulties because this company is at the forefront of pushing autonomous trucking. And you had one company after the other either end their programs for autonomous cars, or say it's going to be many, many more years before we do it. And I think the reality is catching up to this autonomous trucking company, because the reality is that it's unbelievably, it's not practical, and it's unbelievably dangerous.

And I reported as we're talking about the different ways that they could do it, they say, well, you know, we could, the idea is that we've got human drivers that are going around. That's largely a lot of the people that are being laid off with this. You've got the, they're practicing with the autonomous car, and they've got human drivers there to take over when there's a problem. But they can't always do something about it. And that handoff takes a lot of time because you're going along on the highway where there's no challenges whatsoever. And then all of a sudden, something unexpected happens. And, uh, as we've seen in the past, you know, you're sitting there with your phone or you're doing something else and you got to what something is happening and you got to respond to that.

17 seconds. Everything is over. That's a long time. That's an eternity when you're going highway speeds. And yet they say, well, yeah, that's going to be a bit of a problem handing stuff over. But, you know, driving on the highway, that's not as big an issue as driving around town. And so maybe what we'll do is we'll have still have human drivers, but they'll take over and drive everything around town. And so maybe what we'll do is we'll have, uh, still have human drivers, but they'll take over and drive everything around town. But then, you know, when you get on

the highway, the long hauls, we'll have that turned over to the autonomous trucking. Well, that's now you're talking about driving 80,000 pounds at 60 or 70 miles an hour. That's a lot more dangerous. And as a matter of fact, we had one of these situations where the people in the truck had turned it off. They turned off the system. This is how rudimentary and dangerous the state of the software is. You had these guys, they were in town, they had the autonomous thing and they turned it off and then they get on the highway and they turn it back on.

And instead of it's, you know, stopping and thinking, uh, you know, well, I got to reset everything. It came back thinking that it had just gone to sleep and that it was in the same situation that it was in. And it was in the process of doing a left turn when they shut it off. And so they're going along the highway at 60 miles an hour and it does a left turn across the median. Fortunately, it didn't kill them or kill anybody else.

But think about what could have happened with that. If you're going to do autonomous driving, and I don't like that because that's a way of taking our personal freedom of mobility away from us. That's the bottom line. That's why they're pushing on this so much. And the very first autonomous project was done by DARPA because they want something even more dangerous. They want autonomous killing machines. But if you're going to do autonomous driving, shouldn't we demand that they start on, oh, I don't know, golf carts before they go to 80,000 pound rigs on the highway at highway speeds? That's absolutely insane. So I'm, I think that's good news that they're having, uh, some shutdowns and some problems

on that. Uh, we've got, um, as a matter of fact, they're talking about, um, I said, liberals who ditched Tesla and bought a Chevy Volt, a bolt are now hit with a recall over a fire risk. And when I saw that, I thought it was over the battery issues. But this particular one is not over the battery issues. It's about a fire that happens with a vehicle crash. And so this is a Chevy recalling that. But as they point out in this article, because, you know, a lot of people now,

because, and I think one of the reasons now, because, uh, and I think one of the reasons why Elon Musk did it, I think the reason why he bought Twitter was to build up his credentials as a kind of insurance with a large group of people. So he looks at it and says, well, you know, which group of people, uh, is really looking for a hero right now. That's what I think it's about. I mean, you see what Rupert Murdoch did with Fox news. You see what he did with radio.

When he went to TV news, he said, well, everybody's liberal. So I'm going to do a conservative leaning channel. And then when he goes to radio, he decides, well, all the, all the talk radio is conservative. So he puts all liberal stuff out there. Well, that failed. But it's just the same type of thing that Elon Musk is doing, I think. He's trying to build a following here. And they are following him, big time.

Christy Rippertcher, thank you very much. She says, Satan gives us anxiety to throw us into the human initiative. Trust only in God instead. A thousand prayers do not equal a single act of abandonment. May we be given eyes to see, ears to hear, and the grace to be strong in the face of evil. Reading Don Jeffrey's book, Hidden History, supports the satanic agenda we are witnessing today. Viva Cristo Rey. Merry Christmas to DK, Tony, and family.

Well, thank you very much, Christy. I appreciate that. Good words of encouragement there. Stephen Kaspar, thank you very much. And Rhonda, thank you very much again. Thank you, all of you. We're going to take a quick break, and when we come back, we're going to talk a little bit about

another face of gun control that we're going to have to confront. We'll be right back. Thank you. You're listening to The David Knight Show. Well, we have the city of Buffalo filing suit against a ton of gun makers and even some makers of gun parts. Now, before we talk about the details of the lawsuit, just understand that besides the Second Amendment, the Republicans knew that this was going to be the strategy a long time ago, and they specifically passed a law saying that you're not going to sue gun manufacturers for simply manufacturing guns.

Unless they do something that is negligent, they're not going to be sued for engaging in lawful activity. And because the second amendment manufacturing guns is a lawful activity, but that doesn't stop the people in New York city of Buffalo, New York has filed a suit against Beretta Glock Remington, Smith and Wesson and other gun and gun part manufacturers. Uh, they had a shooting in a grocery store. And so that is the basis of them violating all this stuff. Look, they're going to come.

They're going to try to ban cars. They're going to try to ban fuel. They're going to try to ban guns, ban ammunition, ban food, ban cash. They want to ban everything. These people are just, when are we going to learn that this is what you know played that clip from uh you know the actor earlier robinson it's like you understand that it's not just a lockdown do you understand it's everything you guys on the left are cheering city is also suing bushmaster of course as as, because that was the gun the guy was using, as well as gun parts manufacturers, Arm, Ore, Ally, and Polymer 80.

So, it is, they're suing gun manufacturers that didn't even make the gun that was used. That's why it was so horrific i think was it remington that caved in on the same sandy hook thing i think it was and they but it wasn't even remington right it's the company the people who have control of it now as it uh was into some kind of receivership that uh said okay we'll give you tens of millions of dollars um the buffalo mayor said this. He said, members of our community have suffered too much and for too long from gun violence.

We must do everything we can to decrease gun violence. Enabling the possession of illegal guns destroys lives and deeply affects our neighborhoods, especially in black and brown communities. Well, the gun wasn't illegal, even with all of the gun control stuff that they have there, but especially in black and brown communities. Maybe he needs to take a look at drug gangs.

Maybe the real problem is a 50-year-old prohibition. That's the wrong way to handle this. It's a real problem. Drug addiction is a real problem. But there's a right way and a wrong way to handle it. You know, as he was saying, look, we've got people who make bad decisions to use drugs, so we still give them treatment. But we have to understand that that really is their decision,

and it is a spiritual problem. You know, it certainly isn't a law enforcement problem. You're going to have people argue that it's medical psychological issue and those are components of it, but at its core, it's a spiritual problem.

Law enforcement isn't a solution to that. And the drug gangs that are shooting things up, we all should have learned that lesson from alcohol prohibition. We had the gangs start shooting each other up over territory. That's the way they compete with each other. Gun violence is surging, even though New York is one of the most gun-controlled states in the Union. They've got a red flag law. They've got universal background checks.

They've got a so-called assault weapon, quote unquote, ban, whatever that is, a high capacity magazine ban, gun registration requirements, and many other controls. As a matter of fact, Bloomberg, uh, and his, uh, every town for gun safety ranks, New York number three and the country for gun control. So why isn't that working? Well, it's never going to work. Some more people left some comments here.

Sergey, thank you very much. He says, David, do you take my supplements after, do you still take my supplements after leaving InfoWars? I asked because I stopped taking iodine for a year because I didn't want to support Alex. I finally found a nascent iodine called Detoxidine from Global Healing that is organic and twice the strength of X2. Just seeing if you had any recommendations for other supplements. Iodine is hard to find good stuff.

Well, truth be known, pretty much most of the stuff that Alex got was from Global Healing and from Dr. Group. Dr. Group is a super nice guy and he's got great products. And so, you know, I would always suggest getting his stuff. Really nice guy, really nice guy. And trustworthy. I say nice because he's trustworthy. He's not going to do anything. But, you know, Alex's supplements were good quality. But, again, you know, you can find the same type of stuff with Global Healing. And so I would definitely recommend that. Harps, thank you very much.

It says, Merry Christmas, Tony. All the night crew and the cuts. Nights of the storm. Take me a moment to look at that and figure out what that was, but thank you. I was not used to seeing that abbreviated. Thank you, Harps. Appreciate that. And Austin McGee. Thank you very much. That's very generous. I appreciate that.

We have Joe Manchin and one other person, Bill Haggerty from Tennessee, Republican. So Manchin, you know, who is, um, he's losing his power play here. You know, he was with a 50, 50 split. He was really in the catbird seat. He, and to a lesser degree cinema. Uh, but now the Democrats, um, you know, have

defeated these, uh, idiotic candidates that Trump put in, uh, they've got enough power. They don't really need Manchin. So he's trying to make a move. I think this is really just kind of virtue signaling. I don't know if anything's going to happen to it, but you know, we talked about how they wanted to lower the reporting from 10,000 to 600. Well, you know, that there's a lot of people that don't like that. That needs to be reversed. And every single transaction instead of, I forget how many it was,

but it was a tremendously large number before you had to start reporting it. So now he's proposing to changing it back to 10,000 from 600, which is good, except that they're only doing it for Finvo and PayPal. Why? Why do they get special treatment? Well, you know, I think they see them as partners, frankly, because they have pushed this purging and this tyranny everybody is talking about. It's not just Elon Musk.

A lot of people are talking about how paypal is trending i remember it was uh may of 2021 when both of them shut me down without you know over politics over what i was saying they are connected to all this stuff and so this is you understand when they're only going to do it for venmo and paypal this is a payoff to them And it's another warning about mansion and even to Bill Hagerty that they would put something together that would be so limited, uh, uh, you know, for third party networks and everything, but not just get rid of this rule in general. And it may be bigger than PayPal and Venmo, but they're going to be the ones

really pushing it. Now, this is something that came in with the American rescue plan of 2021. And remember, there was a lot of back and forth and mansion is holding out for pork barrel projects and other things that he wants, but he finally voted for it. And so he voted for this. And yet now listen to what he has to say. This is the best relief we can get for the people. Uh, he voted for this. And yet now listen to what he has to say. This is the best relief we can get for the people. He said, this is the best way to approach it. Piecemeal like this.

So this is the best way that we can get relief for the people for a bill that he voted for. I am so sick and tired of these politicians who, and Trump is the same way with a free speech and with a border and all the rest of this stuff. You know, hey, I can fix it now. I didn't fix it when I was there before. And so Manchin, yeah, I've got some relief for you from the bill that I made happen. He was the one who had the leverage. It was all up to him. It would either go down if he didn't vote for it or we got, he more than anybody is responsible for the passage of that bill because he was the deciding vote and everybody thought

that he was going to decide against it until they bought him out on it. He sold us out and now he's trying to get back in people's good graces. Biden is asking the Supreme Court to delay the end of Title 42 until after Christmas. Again, yet another one of these betrayals here. This comes after the Supreme Court agreed Monday to the emergency request for a stay from 19 Republican led States. Uh, and, um, Biden,

as I said, you know, this was a no brainer for, uh, Roberts of the Supreme court to put a stay on it because the Republicans in the lawsuit wanted it held and, um, uh, Biden wanted it held.

You got Democrats saying it's going to be a catastrophe. Uh, so it was kind of a nobrainer to do that. But again, I'll just mention it yet again. Title 42 is really more about the pandemic and the pandemic powers, and it was about supporting that narrative. We got to send people back across because, you know, if people come across, we're all going to die from COVID. It was really about that. That was the basis for sending people back to wait in Mexico. FBI says a Twitter infiltration business is business as usual. And then slams conspiracy theorists.

The FBI issued a statement which essentially boils down, as Zero Hedge says, to, of course, we've embedded ourselves in social media companies. And anyone who has a problem with it is a conspiracy theorist trying to tarnish our stellar reputation. Well, here's exactly what they say. They said it's unfortunate that conspiracy theorists and others are feeding the American public misinformation with the sole purpose of attempting to discredit the agency. No, you don't need our help to discredit yourself. You're capable of doing it all by yourself. And this, of course, is the agency that coined the term conspiracy theorist. And so I guess what they're saying is, you know,

things like the JFK assassination are just business as usual and they would be right, wouldn't they? The FBI claims that they did not provide Twitter with any specific instructions or details regarding the Hunter Biden laptop story, adding, we did not request anything of the sort. Zero H says, oh, so it was the ex-fbi guy at twitter and not the fbi that was suggesting it exactly right you know when we look at why they're doing this the deputized state i think is the best way to understand the the role of these corporations it's to give them plausible deniability in the same way that they are using Ukraine, for example, as plausible deniability for their direct confrontation and escalation into war. But I don't think people are really fooled about that. We all

understand what's happening. We've got Ron Paul now, not Rand Paul, but Ron Paul say, we've got to get rid of the FBI. They just need to go back and pick up the quotes from Democrat presidents who talked about how Jagger Hoover had files on everybody to blacklist them. That was a Truman. I honestly think that, you know, when Truman created the NSA by executive order, I think he was looking for something as a counterbalance to the FBI itself, which would become a tool of a one kingpin like J. Edgar Hoover.

He was like the Fauci of his day. He could do anything that he wanted. He's a top bureaucrat in a government that is not representative. It's not a, it's not a democracy. It's not a Republic. It's a bureaucracy. We'll be right back. Terima kasih telah menonton! Thank you. you're listening to the david knight show thank you angus angus mustang thank you very much. He says it's now $1,000, Tony.

Well, thank you. And Tony graciously said he would match the contributions on Rockfin today. So thank you very much, Tony. Thank you, all of you. Fawn Caldwell, thank you for the tip. Thanks, Tony. Thanks, David. Appreciate all you do.

Sergey Droban says, Merry Christmas. God bless you and your family. I appreciate everything you do. Well, thank you, Sergey. And hopefully things will work out with you and your family. I appreciate everything you do. Well, thank you, Sergey. Um, and hopefully, uh, things will work out with, uh,

you and Gerald. I haven't heard back from him, but I'll, I'll be talking to him after the, after the new year. Um, Sergey's got a, an interesting band and,

uh, it'd be a different demographic, uh, for, uh, some of the occupy peace, uh, uh,

uh, rallies. And, they have a, do a great job with a live show there we got an incoming this this is an amazing story i think you got a guy that just got elected in new york and um he has a completely fabricated uh life story when he was running. This is coming from the New York Times. This incoming Republican New York Congressman, George Santos. He's not sworn in yet.

I don't know that I would believe him if he puts his hand on the Bible and swears of all the Constitution. Because this guy made up every single detail about his life. It's actually pretty comical. For starters, he claimed that he earned degrees in economics and finance from Baruch College and New York University. However, the New York Times looked into it. Neither school was able to locate any record of his attendance. After securing his degrees, he supposedly became an associate asset manager in city groups, real estate division, according to his biography and his campaigns.

I, a city spokeswoman not only told the times that city could not confirm that he had worked there, but that his claimed job title wasn't familiar either. And they sold their asset management division in 2005 so he couldn't have worked there his shiny campaign resume because he's pretty young his shiny campaign resume also included a claimed stint at goldman sachs uh sir if you picked up on a pattern you've already guessed it correctly.

Goldman Sachs couldn't find any record of his employment either. Isn't it amazing that he would think that he could put this out and nobody would check into it and that not just padding it a little bit, not just putting in one false detail, but everything on his resume is false. Listen to this. Everything is false. Listen to this. Everything is false. Santos said he was the founder and leader of, quote, Friends of Pets United, a supposed tax-exempt organization.

While the Times found some traces of the organization on Facebook, the IRS found no indication that it held any tax-exempt status, and neither New York nor New Jersey could find records of any such registered charity. It just keeps getting better. Friends of Pets United held a $50 a head fundraiser, but the event's beneficiary says she never received a dime. Just excuses from Santos on why the money wasn't coming through. So it appears that he sets up this charity thing, doesn't file any paperwork over it, doesn't file any returns with the IRS.

Oh, wait a minute. I know somebody else in New York that did that too. Hillary Clinton. Charles Ortel. I've interviewed him a couple of times. He said they're not filing. They're supposed to have the the clinton foundation is supposed to be filing returns and other paperwork and stuff they don't file any of

that stuff but nobody cares uh but you better understand that if you're going to run as a as a republican in new york and as a newcomer if you're going to win you better understand they're going to look at you with a fine-tooth comb. During the same period as the purported pet philanthropy, Santos was the subject of an eviction suit. He was accused of owing $2,250 in rent. Two years later, in 2017, he was again the target of an eviction claim, this time allegedly owing more than $10,000 eviction was ordered and he was fined more than $12,000. Now what's interesting about this, even though he's had been a deadbeat renter and had people evict him several times, going back to 2015, that type of thing.

In 2021, he claimed that he was a landlord suffering from the consequences of the eviction moratorium. It was put on by the CDC. The Times couldn't find any records of him owning any property. As Zero Hedge said, it's an apparent case of massive projection. He saw himself as the wronged landlord as opposed to a deadbeat tenant. He also reported having received a $750,000 salary and a million to $5 million in dividends over the last two years from a mysterious entity with no public website or LinkedIn presence

that he called the Devalder Organization. During the same time, he lent more than $700,000 to his campaign. He has portrayed the Devalder Organization as his, quote, family's farm, unquote, that managed $80 million. So somewhere he's getting this money. But isn't that, I mean, so everything was a lie on his resume. Now, he's only 34 years old. And so, you know, when they shut down that city, shut down its management organization that he claimed that he was head of. That was back in 2005.

Yeah. So we're looking at 17 years ago. So he was managing that for city at the age of 17. Maybe that's why the New York Times started looking at his resume. But no, he said it was later than that, but, uh, he didn't say he was managing it in 2005,

but still, um, he has a past that goes back to Brazil. So they went back to Brazil and they looked to see where this guy came from. They found that he's got criminal charges against him in Brazil. Well, that would not surprise me based on this. Um, got criminal charges against him in brazil well that would not surprise me based on this um there was also a confession over an incident in which he stole the checkbook of a man that his mother

was taking care of now here's the other thing that's interesting about this and of course the district is on northern long island and northeast. He won that election by eight points and his opponent was homosexual and he was homosexual. So first time there has been a congressional con contest between two open homosexuals. And I say open because we've had Dennis Hastert who was speaker of the house. It was a pedophile, a homosexual pedophile. But, you know, first time they were open about it.

How long is it going to be before we've got a contest, Travis, between two open pedophiles running for Congress instead of being in the closet about it anyway, he also claimed, because he's homosexual, he claimed that his company lost four employees in the June 2016 Pulse nightclub shooting. It's just amazing. He piles on with everything. So what is coming up in the new year for him. Well, it's not just humiliation says zero hedge for people to find out what a grifting liar he is. If he's found to have knowingly and willfully made material omissions or misrepresentations on his house financial disclosures, I don't see how he could avoid that. Right. I mean, you know, I just read to you everything in his work history and personal history is a lie.

Uh, and they seem to be material. Anyway, if, uh, he makes material misrepresentations on his house, financial disclosures, he faces penalties of up to $250,000 and five years in prison.

He may not be going to the house. He may be going to the big house. He could also face a house ethics investigation if he makes it to the point of actually getting in. But, um, I don't think that he's going to get sworn in, in January. So I don't think it's going to be any house ethics thing, but he is desperate in terms of trying to find allies just hours before the times notified him about their pending report, looking like a man thrashing around for a lifeline says zero hedge. He posted a resounding endorsement of Kevin McCarthy. It was in a struggle to get

elected Speaker of the House. He posted out on Twitter, he said, we have an opportunity of a lifetime to deliver real results for the American people. We must give the gavel to Kevin McCarthy to ensure that we stop the disastrous policies the Dems have pushed for the last two years. Join me. Our country depends on it. Well, you know, what we need for this country is some people with integrity. But the people who don't have integrity use the two-party system to divide and conquer us, don't they? Just as he is doing in a shameful way.

We're going to come back in a moment. We're going to talk about the climate curriculum that is all about emotions rather than rational thinking. But before we go to break, thank you, Jason. Good to see you there. And I got the piece that you sent me, but I didn't have time to read it yet. So we'll be talking about that. Not tonight. I'll save it for the program when we get back next week.

But I appreciate that. And Jason was the one who did a great job of designing and working out the manufacturing of this and donated the first run of these coins to us. So I appreciate that, Jason. Thank you very much. You've done so much to help this program. We will be right back. Stay with us. This is The David Knight Show. Let's talk a little bit about climate, because weather is in the forefront. I mean, they've got this thing now. They created a new name for it. The bomb cyclone. Have you ever heard of a bomb cyclone before?

They push fear and panic about everything, don't they? Because that gets viewership. And so now we've got a bomb cyclone, but they're looking at some pretty bad weather over the weekend. So, uh, you know, stay warm, be aware of frostbite, but don't, I'm not too worried about it. I know that they're going to try to scare you to death. So, uh, but do take precaution and be safe over the holidays. They were predicting for where we are. They were predicting, still are predicting very low temperatures and low single digits here, but, um, they were predicting, still are predicting very low temperatures and low single digits here.

But they were predicting that we had like a 94% chance of snow tomorrow. And now that has come down to, they've downgraded that to like a 70 or 80% chance of rain. So, you know, they don't know. They don't know. And they're constantly, that's when you look at the weather reports, they're constantly changing them. And I think that's a bigger side of this story than, you know, when people say, oh, look, we've got this massive cyclone bomb that's coming in.

Look at how cold everything is. And you're talking about global warming? Weather is not climate. But the key thing is that they can't predict weather or climate. You certainly can't predict climate change decades in advance when you can't predict what the weather is going to be five days or even three days or two days in advance. They're constantly changing this. And we, cause we started watching this pretty closely.

You know, everybody's talking about this. It's like, so we're going to have snow. And so we looked at it. It's like, all right, well, you know what, let's, so on a daily basis, we's talking about this. It's like, so we're going to have snow. And so we looked at it. It's like, all right, well, you know what? Let's so on a daily basis, we've been checking it. And on a daily basis, it's been changing because they have no idea. So in Washington state, they have a curriculum that they're pushing to Hector kids about climate and climate fear. And to take them away from, you know, the science.

State curriculum in Washington state says that emotions should outweigh rational thinking. This is a story from the Daily Caller. And of course, that's for the pandemic MacGuffin as well. We don't want you thinking rationally. We want you afraid and emotional, right? Washington state department of health released a five part curriculum to help students learn quote, the intersections of biological, societal and environmental issues.

The second phase of the curriculum, climate change and pregnancy. Everything's tied in with depopulation, right? You should not have any kids because climate change is coming. So we will help you with abortion. That's what they're going to tell the kids. Climate change and pregnancy is the second phase of the curriculum for their students in public school. It tells educators and students to, quote, pay attention to their emotions. As for too long, they said, science has caused rational thinking to be prioritized.

Wow. Wow. You know, we're told that math is racist. Now they're telling them. For too long, we've had rational thinking. So let's get irrational here. As teachers, this is coming from the curriculum. As teachers and students consider the impacts of climate change,

we should be mindful of the emotional dimensions of the human experience. For far too long, science and science education have prioritized my rational thinking. As we delve more deeply into the impacts of climate change. The next generation science standards. That's a thing in Washington that that is actually the next generation science standards. That's capitalized.

So that's a program that they're propagandizing these kids with. As we look into that, we must learn to pay attention to our emotions and to those of other people. The curriculum notes that emotions, quote, signal alignment or discord between cultural values and technical assertions. And failing to acknowledge emotions reflects arrogance. White privilege and Western civilization, all that stuff. We hate that. Ignoring emotions can also weaken important relationships for getting things done,

says the climate change curriculum. Actually, this is very useful, because do you see how they understand that it's culture and it's values and it's morality that are at the center of education? Because in a sense, you know, more dangerous psychopath if you have technical capabilities, math and science and whatever else, right? Education always needed to be tempered. You don't want to have somebody who has great technical skills and is completely psychopathic. And so you wanted to have morality and culture and other values of humanity there,

but they're using it in a fearful way. But they do understand what the true essence of education is, that it's not just the technical stuff. So I guess, you know, we've had new math. We've had math being disregarded because it's too objective. We don't like anything that's objective. It's too rational. We've got to be irrational.

So now these government institutions that we call schools are teaching that you want to completely get rid of any rational, critical thinking, just as your teachers have already done, presumably. The curriculum also asks students to consider sexism in science, because we already know that math is racist, so now science is sexist. Students are asked to raise their hand if they've experienced any sexism, such as, quote, unwilling to learn about issues important to women, unquote,

and eye-rolling and jokes. Well, I tell you, if you come at people and say, my emotions trump your data when it comes to climate change and other stuff like that, you're going to get some jokes and you're going to get some eye-rolling and you're going to get people going to be unwilling to listen to your nonsense. Ultimately, attacking rational thinking is just a way to justify policies that are irrational and unscientific. One person told the Daily Caller, and they're absolutely right. That's what's behind this. In Germany,

you have eco-activists decapitating a landmark Christmas tree. So they got this big Christmas tree. Thank you, Liberty B. Thank you very much. I appreciate that. Um, they have a,

a, a large Christmas tree. Uh, and, um, that's, that's part of their display there. And,

this group that's been going around, it's not the Brandenburg gate, you know, a big, uh, uh, important spot in Berlin. And so they decided that they would get a mobile lift platform, put some of that horrible gasoline in it, and drive this thing that was built using, you know, all the metal was formed and you know, formed and created and put into this cherry

picker and they drive this filthy carbon covered thing, uh, to this tree. And then they cut off the top of the giant Christmas tree that is there. Um, and this thing is really big. So they only got part of it. But here is their, and then hung a banner on it. So this is only the tip of the Christmas tree. So far, we've only seen the tip of the underlying catastrophe in Germany. While all of Germany spends the week getting the best gifts from the biggest stores, others are wondering where to get their water to drink after drought and floods have wiped out their crops. Uh, these people obviously don't know anything about the history

of mankind. We've had droughts and floods, uh, forever, uh, much worse than we have now. And many times there can be no peaceful Christmas when people are afraid for their lives. So be afraid. Uh, the two demands that they have are they want Germany to reduce the national speed, have a limit of 60 miles per hour. This is like Nixon's drive 55 thing, right? Of course, Nixon with President Kissinger, Nixon and President Kissinger put in the 55 mile an hour speed limit, but also created the EPA, the EPA.

So they want the speed limit reduced to 60. They want to, uh, also have subsidized public transport because this has been the goal of these crazy idiots from the first earth day in 1970 band cars, band cars, band cars, and they're saying, uh, we've only seen the tip of the underlying catastrophe in Germany while we haven't seen anything yet, none of your predictions have come true. And they predicted for the first eight years, they predicted that we're going to have a new ice age. Then they flipped the script and said, it's going to be global warming.

So these people are the same ones who have been blocking streets in Germany, gluing their hands to the floor of a Porsche display room, gluing their hands to a road. They had to take a jackhammer to one of these guys. Unfortunately, it was just to the road to get him free. But then they left him stuck with the road all over his hand as they got him free of all of that. The square in front of the Brandenburg Gate has a permanent police presence. Isn't that interesting? They didn't think anything was unusual about that.

Officers were slow to react to the vandalism. A police spokeswoman told the Berlin-based newspaper that they assumed that the eco-warriors were carrying out routine maintenance on the tree. Well, that's understandable. I mean, if they come out there and they're wearing jackets or something, it's like, oh, okay. We're not going to ask them what they're doing. But anyway, they saw it off the top of the tree, then they were eventually arrested. You know, maybe they wanted the tree to look more like the Charlie Brown Christmas tree. I don't know before we run out of time though. Uh, I want to say very quickly, you know, we talk about these, um, we talk about the effects of these vaccines. We just had Franco Harris

die suddenly. Now, even as somebody who doesn't follow sports going back to the 1970s, you know, friends of mine did, I heard the name Franco Harris so much with the Pittsburgh Steelers and he was going to be honored on Saturday. They were going to retire his Jersey. They were going to honor him for an amazing catch that he did in a clutch situation. He was 72 years old and he and nobody expected any of this stuff. It's another one of these died suddenly issues.

And we know that he was vaccinated because he was a spokesperson. The CDC made him a prop for their killer shots and then killed him with the shots. Franco Harris, get vaccinated. That's your best move. The CDC teams up with NFL alumni to encourage you to get vaccinated when it is available for you. The story you can find, Vaccine Impact has it.

Several different places do. We also have a SEAL Team 1 commander found dead suddenly. And they make a point of saying foul play is not suspected. So what is suspected? Is it the foul pharmaceuticals? Well, have a Merry Christmas, stay safe, and thank you to all of you for your generosity, especially Tony.

Thank you, Tony, for matching these donations on Lockman. Merry Christmas, and we'll see you next week. The Common Man They created Common Core to dumb down our children. They created common past to track and control us. Their commons project to make sure the commoners own nothing. And the communist future. They see the common man as simple, unsophisticated, ordinary.

But each of us has worth and dignity created in the image of God. That is what we have in common. That is what they want to take away. Their most powerful weapons are isolation, deception, intimidation. They desire to know everything about us while they hide everything from us. It's time to turn that around and expose what they want to hide. Please share the information and links you'll find at thedavidknightshow.com. Thank you for listening. Thank you for sharing.
