Life vs Death, Crime & Punishment, War vs Peace in the context of current events and then in the third hour, Christmas in our history and culture (2:00) AI thinks it can predict your death with 78% accuracy — will this be used to deny medical treatment? We've already seen the denial of treatment and hospital death protocol for "COVID-19" and now for "Trisomy 18"(10:42) We're told "Trisomy 18" is a diagnosis that's incompatible with human life" and so babies should be aborted, treated. He are the children, some of them in their teens, that show this dangerous lie has repercussions for everyone, at every stage of life even though Nikki Haley & Ann Coulter think it's the basis for ridding themselves of the pro-life "burden" in their political aspirations.(26:41) Feds go after Christian college, Dept of Ed assesses an excessive fine of $37.7M (more than any other university ever), allegedly to protect students (none of whom have complained).(40:39) Judges are punishing people found NOT GUILTY by a jury. If tin he judge's OPINION the defendant is guilty, the judge accesses punishment as if there were a guilty verdict. Will this heinous constitutional violation by judges be stopped? Judges have tried to stop jury nullification of bad laws, now judges want to nullify the jury.(52:51) 18 year old given LIFE SENTENCE for a minor cybercrime committed when he was 16. You won't believe what he's being punished for stealing and releasing…(1:18:00) UK may be at a turning point to turn away from gender grooming of children after doctor at the epicenter of the trans-grooming industry with 12 years experience blows the whistle(1:24:00) Trump says he'll end Ukraine-Russia way in a single day. How did he say he'll do it? By escalation(1:32:18) WATCH: The Christmas Truce of 1914 has been the topic of many films, songs, play, musicals — and now a very richly produced candy commercial(1:38:24) WATCH: American propaganda about World War 1, used to sway opinion toward World War 2(1:44:01) American general (retired) says to win the fight against Russians, Ukraine must do what the Nazis did. Don't laugh at his ignorance, his plan is transparent and reprehensible(1:50:15) Only 17% of Germans would defend their nation. Is this what the Pentagon is aiming for here?(2:00:00) Christmas Jazz from a listener, and a song from a listener with autism who couldn't speak but can now sing beautifully(2:08:27) Naomi Wolf beautifully describes America's Christmas of 60 years ago and looks at how America and its celebration of Christmas have changed, especially in response to a very bad SCOTUS decision(2:30:19) WATCH: Bobby Darin, SharkBite Productions, "Christmas Auld Lang Syne"(2:36:10) $Million gingerbread home and rocking 'round the plastic tree(2:40:13) Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker as a glimpse into a pre-World War Europe that was on the cusp of destruction. Can we say the same about our society today?(2:48:00) WATCH FLASHBACK: It's a Wonderful Lie — the Federal Reserve, JP Morgan, and Mr. Potter My first YouTube censored piece — 10 years ago — on the 100th anniversary of the conspiracy we call the Federal Reserve. Passed on Dec 23, it has many similarities to "It's a Wonderful Life" and the manipulations of Mr. Potter, inspired by JP Morgan. It was censored on the basis of a "copyright" violation even though it was Fair Use commentary and the clips from the movie were taken from the ENTIRE movie that had been available for free for a decade and had about a million views at the time. Many they censored it because they don't want you to know about the Fed and what it's done to our money and liberty(2:59:30) Thank to those who have supported us voluntarily with donations.

Happiness. We all know what it feels like, but sometimes it doesn't come easy. I'm Garvey Bailey, the host of Happy Enough, a new podcast from The Globe and Mail about our pursuit of happiness. We know people want to live more fulfilling and positive lives, but how do we actually do that? Is there a happiness code to crack? From our relationship with technology to whether money can really buy you happiness, we'll hear from both real people and experts to demystify this thing we're all searching for and hopefully find ways to be happy enough. You can find Happy Enough wherever you listen to podcasts. Using free speech to free minds. You're listening to The David Knight Show. As the clock strikes 13, it's Friday the 22nd of December, Year of Our Lord 2023.

And we say Year of Our Lord, and this is the time we celebrate the birth of our Lord. And so that's what we're going to do today. We're going to talk, we're going to have some news at the beginning here, but we're going to talk a lot about Christmas and culture in the context of politics and government and tradition. What does culture mean, really? We need to think about that. What does it mean when you have a bacteria culture or you cultivate a plant? It's something that you grow. You do it consciously.

So we're going to talk about that. We're going to consciously talk about that. We'll be right back. Stay with us. Thank you. Well, as I mentioned yesterday, Christmas time, we listened to some of the classic songs, not the ones about Rudolph and rocking around a Christmas tree or this or that. And the nostalgia is fine. In and of itself, it's not the ones about Rudolph and rocking around a Christmas tree or this or that, you know. And the nostalgia is fine. You know, that's in and of itself, it's fine.

As long as that's not your entire life. I mean, we stop and think about it. What if your entire life was just looking backwards at things that you had done? You don't have to anticipate anything in the future. Or what is happening now? You just mope about what is gone and passed. And at this time of year, because there's so much nostalgia in Christmas songs, we can fall into that trap. It can be very depressing for a lot of people because you just focus on what they've lost.

And it is important to go back and look at what was there before and see if we can't try to sustain or even revive some of the things that have been lost. But we don't want to overdwell on the past. You know, life is about the living. Life is about now. And so I mentioned this yesterday. You know, we look at the Christmas carols and we look at the fact that they're pushing this to us,

that scientists create an AI that they claim can predict when you will die with 78% accuracy. I said this yesterday. I said, well, God knows that with accuracy, but artificial intelligence doesn't. These scientists don't. Your doctor doesn't. You probably have a story.

I've got a couple of them about somebody who gets a clean bill of health from the doctor and goes out and drops dead. Or maybe they got a shot from the doctor, you know, sugar water that Trump created for us as Alex pointed out, maybe they got the sugar water shot and they just suddenly die. Or it might be that they just misdiagnosed it. Didn't catch a heart condition that was there.

Or maybe it's not even that. Maybe, you know, you're perfectly healthy. Maybe even jogging down or cycling down the side of the road and you get hit by a car and die. We've all known those types of stories as well. Nobody knows when you're going to die and these scientists don't know either. What is concerning about this is that they think they know and that is a very dangerous thing because as people more and more begin to worship artificial intelligence as being omniscient and uh being able to predict the future um and um and as it becomes omnipresent everywhere and everything that we do. That's going to be a real danger.

And we need to disavow that from the very beginning so we don't fall into that trap. Only God knows this. Will this type of AI, for example, be used to deny you medical care? But let's also remember this time of year, we celebrate Christ, as I said in the Christmas carols, born so that man no more may die. Yeah, you're going to die, but it's not final. It's a difficult transition. Some people have said, coming out of this world and going out of this world is difficult,

but we know that we're going to a better world if we're Christians. And Christ has made that possible. That's why we celebrate this time of year. And as I said before, I'm not dogmatic at all about the religious aspects of Christmas. It's an opportunity to talk about the incarnation of Christ. And it's an opportunity to exercise our religion in the public space, because if you don't exercise, your freedoms, just like your body, will atrophy and die. And so it is important for us to exercise our freedoms.

And so for all those reasons and an opportunity to talk to your children about what is really, what is true, what isn't true. We've got a lot of traditions that have been added to it. I mean, even on the religious side, not just things like Santa Claus and Rudolph. There's a lot of things that have been added even in the religious aspects of this to talk to them about that.

But when we look at this new artificial God that is being created before our eyes. This is coming from a UK paper. Can a doom calculator really predict when you'll die? Shockingly, these whiz kid scientists, whiz kids. You know, last time I heard that phrase, that was used to describe Robert McNamara, who was one of the whiz kids who was,

he's a really smart kid. I don't know what it was that he did as a prodigy. Maybe he was on a game show or something, because that's, I think, where that came from. But he was the guy, the really smart guy that got us mired down into Vietnam. Anyway, they can do it with 78% accuracy. Well, you know, God can do it with 100% we all know the psalm 139 don't we it's not just artificial intelligence does artificial intelligence know everything about you yet no um but even if it does know everything about you it still doesn't know everything about

you and it doesn't know your future you know david wrote lord you've searched me and known me you know my sitting down am i rising up you understand my thoughts from a far off you comprehend my path and my lying down and you are acquainted with my ways this by the way is the goal of geospatial intelligence anticipatory intelligence that has been the fastest growing part of the intelligence community since the late 1990s. They want to have this God-like knowledge of everyone. But they did not create us. David goes on to say to God, you formed my inward parts. You covered me in my mother's womb. I will praise you for I am fearfully and wonderfully made yes we are made how can you look at something as complex as a human being or a dog or any other animal and say that this is an

accident of random chance processes what foolish rebellion that is the common sense you don't say that about any car any building that you look at marvelous are your works my soul knows that very well my frame was not hidden from you when i was made in secret and skillfully wrought in the lowest parts of the earth your eyes saw my substance yet unformed and in your book they were all written the day's fashion for me when there is yet none of them and so when we look at um the stories that we had this last week i gave you a couple of stories about people who had children that had trisomy 18. They had diagnosed this and accurately diagnosed it in a couple of these cases. And the children did not survive very long.

But there's another part of that story. Part of the reason why children are not surviving very long with trisomy 18 is because of diagnosis more than anything else. The doctors look at him and say, oh, trisomy 18. There's no point even doing anything about this. And yet they have found that if they actually give the kids some treatment, that their chances of survival go way, way up, way, way up. But typically they'll look at it and say, oh, the kid's going to die anyway. We're not going to give him any health care. Does that sound familiar?

Is that something that we've seen done to adults? Is that something we've seen done at the end of life? Is that something that we saw throughout COVID-19? I just put a do not resuscitate tag on them. As a matter of fact, you know, story of amazing grace, her father, Scott, who came on and talked about it. And, you know, he's bringing them to trial because they said, well, she's got COVID. Happiness. We all know what it feels like, but sometimes it doesn't

come easy. I'm Garvey Bailey, the host of Happy Enough, a new podcast from The Globe and Mail about our pursuit of happiness. We know people want to live more fulfilling and positive lives, but how do we actually do that? Is there a happiness code to crack? From our relationship with technology to whether money can really buy you happiness, we'll hear from both real people and experts to demystify this thing we're all searching for and hopefully find ways to be happy enough. You can find Happy Enough wherever you listen to podcasts. That's the point. And she's got down syndrome anyway well we'll just put a do not resuscitate

on there give her no health care you see this is a much bigger issue than just abortion this is why we talk about pro-life if you're not pro-life for a baby that's sick that has a health condition if you can take a baby that you tried to kill and did not do that successfully and just lay it over on the table and let it die and call that comfort care they will do that to all of us at any stage of our life and they'll do it with a clear conscience because artificial intelligence tells them i'm sorry this person doesn't have a chance they've got this or they've got that or they don't have this or they don't have that. And so this is a story from liveaction.org.

Very important story. Trisomy 18 is not an automatic death sentence. These children are proof. But it can be an automatic death sentence. If the medical establishment treats it that way, I said, you know, we look at Kate Cox, the story in Texas,

he goes to court to get an abortion. And it was really about trying to overthrow that law, but it's much bigger than that. You got Ann Coulter and you got Nuki haley and all of them jumping in on this see see this is what's wrong with your attempt to try to protect life uh you're going to be cruel to parents and you're going to be this is just dangerous and and awful for women and you should get rid of these pro-life laws say people on the gop side and And so this idea that there's virtually no chance of survival has been parroted by a lot of people who believe that this mother in Texas should have been allowed to kill

her child because this is not compatible with life. Many people have been told that trisomy 18 is a fatal condition. Many people were told that COVIDomy 18 is a fatal condition. Many people were told that COVID-19 was a fatal condition. And they justified that by putting people in comas, putting them on invasive ventilators and killing them. And of course they made money doing that. Just like the abortionists make money. And that was a Trump policy.

Rewarding the hospitals, massively rewarding. You just point to somebody and say they've got COVID, $19,000. You get them on a ventilator, $32,000. You've already got a $3,000 profit on your $53,000 machine. And if you can keep them breathing for a few days, oh, you can just add, you know, it's a gravy train. And then not only that,

we'll give you a 20% bonus for everything that you do, and they already inflate the prices of everything to an absurd extreme. And then wait one year, and after these people have gotten addicted to these obscene, obscene profits, then Biden comes around and says, I'm going to take all those Trump bonuses away from you if you don't vaccinate yourself. Yeah, you'll kill yourself now. And so we've seen this with COVID-19.

Now we're seeing it with trisomy 18. Oh, I'm sorry, you got a fatal condition. No point in even trying. Do not resuscitate. But a 2017 study from Stanford and the University of Arkansas revealed that children with trisomy 18 diagnosis are more likely to survive

if they undergo pediatric heart surgery. In addition, a study two years later in 2019 showed that 90% of children with trisomy 18 survived after their hearts were repaired, but they use this to try to get all kids killed. Trisomy 18 or COVID 19. Same thing, isn't it?

In principle. And I thought this was very interesting. You know, Rick Santorum, I had a lot of issues with his policies. But he was a family man and he was very staunchly

anti-abortion. And here's one of the reasons. He and his wife, former Senator Rick Santorum out of Pennsylvania, of course he's run for president unsuccessfully in the past as well. But he and his wife have a daughter who turned 15 years old this year who has trisomy 18.

They refused to abort her even though she'd been diagnosed with this. And they told her it was, quote, incompatible with life. And so when Ann Coulter, and I read you some of what Ann Coulter said the other day, I read you what Nikki Haley said, and Ann Coulter, who, shame on her, she used to promote life. She's just a political hack now, talking about how being pro-life is an albatross around our neck. She knows better. She knows Trump is an albatross. But anyway, she went after pro-life policies.

And so when she did that, Rick Santorum responded with a tweet to Ann Coulter. And he said, quote, trisomy 18 is not a condition that is incompatible with life. Meet my incompatible with life daughter, Bella. Her doctors put her on hospice at 10 days old. Other countries have much higher survival rates than the U.S. because they treat the baby and not the diagnosis. Every kid deserves a shot at life. Not to be brutally dismembered for not being perfect.

Well said. That's Rick Santorum. He said, other countries have much higher survival rates because we treat the diagnosis, but they treat the baby. And then they have in this article from live action, they've got several different parents. Here's a child, Wiley Durson.

The parents learned about this, of course, as they all do when they're pregnant. They showed her to me. When she was born, she was awfully floppy and blue. She didn't look like a baby who was alive, but they let my husband hold her, and I'll never forget the moment. I'd just given birth, and he says, she's breathing, she's breathing. And she just kept breathing and living. And so she is now several years old.

Verity Jacobson. When the parents learned their pre-born child that they named Verity had trisomy 18, they were terrified. They were given little to no information about what the future would look like. The information that we were gleaning was that if she were to be born alive, the average lifespan would be 5 to 15 days. And so we're having conversations about where we're going to bury our baby and what the memorial service is going to be like. And I just grieved so much, she said.

And of course, the stories that I had the other day, the babies did not survive. But the mothers, even though they were saddened by that, it was reassuring to them that they had not added to the baby's suffering by having them ripped apart limb by limb in an abortion, and the fact that they had been able to hold their child for the few moments of life that they had. But to her surprise, Verity did not die right after birth to the mother's's surprise. Today she is thriving in her own special way. Life now is amazing. And it's not perfect, she said. It's not easy, but it is so much better than we could have imagined, said the mother.

And the way that she has enriched our lives is just amazing as well. Same story. I've always heard and seen from parents who have children with Down syndrome or any other thing, right? We would all like for our children to be perfect and have no health issues whatsoever. But isn't it great to have them anyway? Harper Grace, in a Special Books by Special Kids video interview, her mother said her only goal was to be able to look Harper in the eye and tell her, I love you after birth. To her surprise, she was able to do that and much more as Harper did

not die as the doctors predicted. Now she fights for better treatment of those with trisomy 18 diagnosis. Faith Smith's parents learned of it. The doctors encouraged them to abort. When they refused to abort, the doctor started going down the Planned Parenthood script. The doctors tried to scare them into ending their daughter's life, warning that if she was born, it would ruin their marriage. It would devastate them financially. It would make life difficult for their other children. All the things they tell you, Planned Parenthood. The couple refused to listen. Instead instead fought for their daughter's life.

In a Facebook post celebrating her 12th birthday in 2020, the father shared a happy message. He said, it's a wonderful life, and this is a special day. Faith is 12 years old today. Our fatal fetal anomaly, who is incompatible with life, just won't listen to her critics. We weren't lucky. We had help from a mighty God and from some great doctors and nurses who treated her over the years. Life is valuable. This is one of the things that you see through these people who are talking about it.

They have faith in God. And they see prayers answered. And God does not answer every prayer to heal every illness or every person. He has greater purposes in our life. Sometimes that includes suffering and loss. But look at what our culture is doing. As I said at the top of the show, I said we need to think about culture. What are we cultivating here? Again, the same word for cultivation of plants or bacteria culture. That's what we're doing.

We're actively promoting something to grow. And so what is it that we're trying to grow in America? Or what is it that other people are trying to grow as we set passively by? Because you can't win a culture war without culture. And culture comes down to each and every one of us. It comes down to traditions that you set up with your friends and family. It comes to the things that you do. And instead, what we have become is a nation of voyeurs.

We just sit back and we let other people do the culture thing for us, and we just watch it. And watching what they want and what they produce out of life, that becomes our culture. Our passive voyeur culture. And so you've got a college that knows this and they are launching a movie contest, not to celebrate life, but to celebrate abortion. Maybe they could call the movie It's a Wonderful Murder. Barnard College wants to celebrate and support abortion stories.

They have their annual Athena Film Festival, named after a goddess, right? They recently closed submissions for mentorship program winners winners of a script competition will be announced at the film festival scheduled for february the 29th and so i guess maybe if you could come up with a script i don't know away with the manger how about that away with the manger maybe we could even write a song about that? Away with the manger. Maybe we could even write a song about that. Get some money from these people who have a culture that they want to grow. And it's like a gain-of-function bacteria culture that is getting more and more deadly in our society all the time. Winners of this project will receive mentorship on how to better promote the direct killing of innocent pre-born babies. And they call the project, listen to this, it's the APP.

What does that stand for? No, not app. It's the Abortion Pipeline Project. And an annual narrative screenplay competition to feature short film scripts, which seek to seed and source a variety of narrative film projects which center abortion. That's the way they describe it themselves. They want to center abortion.

A cult of death. A culture of death. What are we going to do to grow the opposite? So abortionists want parents out of their daughter's life and death decisions. And this is going to Massachusetts. Seems to be the epicenter of evil anymore. Elizabeth Warren and people associated with Elizabeth Warren. Massachusetts doesn't have very many protections for babies. And I'm sure if you look at these screenplays, they'll probably

portray the parents as hopelessly out of touch. That's become a meme for Hollywood, hasn't it? Yeah. Since the middle of the 20th century, maybe earlier than that, parents are just always hopelessly out of touch. You don't, you don't need to listen to them. Well, they've got, um, very few pro-life protections. As a matter of fact, you can kill children up through 24 weeks.

France is only 12 weeks. France is only 12 weeks. France is only 12 weeks. And they recently extended that because it used to be like 10 weeks or something like that. But Massachusetts, 24 weeks, twice as long as France. Planned Parenthood's Massachusetts CEO says that her number one priority is making abortion more accessible. Oh, I imagine it is. I mean, that's how she makes money. That's where they make their money.

They're not about women's health. They're about killing babies. The parental consent requirement, she said, was reduced from the age of 18 to 16. But she said even 16 is still too high. There's no evidence that it is medically necessary. No, it's not medically necessary to kill a baby to have parental consent. It's not necessarily necessary to have parental consent if you want to mutilate a child sexually. Groom them and mutilate them and chemicals and surgery.

Not medically necessary. It just delays this anywhere from five to 21 days. So she said she's going to be focusing on, quote, reducing all of the unnecessary burdens and barriers that stand in the way of killing babies. Things like eliminating parental involvement are at the top of her list as she talks to the press the desire to remove parental notification laws places young girls in greater danger of being trafficked of being forced into abortion that they don't want and we've talked about this for many many years how planned parenthood when they get a young child in who's a minor who's pregnant this is obviously statutory rape but planned parenthood does not report this to the police. They don't

want anything to come of this because, you know, if they started doing that, that would discourage girls from coming there and killing babies. And that's how they make their money. Abortion is Planned Parenthood's biggest moneymaker. According to their 2020 annual report, they killed six and a half million babies since 2000 and got $9.3 billion in taxpayer dollars. And then, of course, in 2020, as they were handing out the universal basic income training checks that they call stimulus checks or PPP or whatever, the Congress said, well, you know, we're not going to give that to Planned Parenthood. But the Democrats did anyway.

It was in the law that it wasn't supposed to go to them, but they got it anyway. A minor cannot undergo surgery or even receive medicine from a school nurse without a parent's approval. However, now we're letting them do the abortions in Massachusetts if they get what they want. And, of course, the other emerging profit center for Planned Parenthood is the chemicals to the puberty chemicals for the trans grooming that is happening. So you can groom the kids in school for transgender mutilation and Planned Parenthood can sell that as well. It's all the puberty blockers and make money off of that as well. They've got all of this covered. It's a business that makes money on death. And so the, um, uh, as I said, Massachusetts, uh, is where they're trying to

get rid of parental consent completely. And also coming out of Massachusetts, also aligned with liz warren is a guy who is in charge of the department of education and um he is the department of education is going after a christian university with massive fines and it is uh really trivial and a false charge but they want to shut this down. The headline from WND, the feds say that Christian and affordable colleges are 10 times worse than hiding sex offenders. If you look at the fines that they're assessing here, they've made the accusation against this college that its motto is private, Christian, and affordable. And so they came up with a fine that is 10 times worse than they have given to other schools for concealing sex offenders.

The officials who are defending them at the Goldwater Institute. So they're demanding information about the Biden's Department of Education agenda against Grand Canyon University of Phoenix. They say a lawsuit will follow if the immediate results aren't satisfactory. $37.7 million fine against the organization. And so right now, the people at the Goldwater Institute have written a commentary about it. They have not filed a complaint yet, not filed a lawsuit yet. They basically laid out the lines of the lawsuit, but we just saw the Biden

administration as they leave the border wide open and are bringing in millions of people every year. Anybody can walk in. You saw them go to a great deal of trouble to try to deport German homeschool family. Those Christian. We don't want those kind of people here.

To me, that says everything. You know, the open border, but then double down as, that isn't a situation. The open border is not a situation where we just can't figure out what to do. We're just hopelessly incompetent. It's a bigger problem than we can manage. No, when you look at what they tried to do with the German homeschooling Christian family,

and deport them after they've been here for quite some time, they're supporting themselves, and they are genuine political refugees, religiously persecuted because Germany persecutes anybody that has Christian convictions to homeschool their own kids. And so when you look at that, that tells you what this policy is about. It really is deliberate. It really is a great replacement. And its latest assault on institutions that failed to adhere to its ideological bent, the Biden administration just imposed the largest fine in history

from the U.S. Department of Education on Grand Canyon University. His motto is private, Christian, and affordable. Ten times bigger than they levied against some of the worst sex offenders in school and history. By any metric, the school is a success story, says the op-ed piece. Having grown from a tiny school with fewer than 1,000 students to one of the largest private schools in the country, offering degrees in every conceivable discipline, all that happened without raising tuition on students in over 15 years. And so now they're demanding that the Department of Education, turn over public records, that would indicate that there's collusion, collusion within the Biden administration, collusion with Elizabeth Warren.

So they said, as this guy took power, his name is Richard Cordray, who has been tightly associated with Elizabeth Warren in the past. As he took over, they said he and his cronies made it their mission to destroy institutions that do not subscribe to the prevailing orthodoxy at government-run schools. You see, this time of year, and Naomi Wolf had an excellent op-ed piece that I want to read parts of it to you.

She's Jewish. She's liberal. I think she's, uh, I want to read parts of it to you. Um, she's Jewish. She's liberal. I think she's a lesbian. I think, I mean, she's, uh, but, but she's looking at this and saying, what is it about this obsession about destroying all the free exercise of religion? She woke up with the, um, the Trump lockdowns. People call them the COVID lockdowns. COVID didn't lock down anybody. Trump did. Yeah. What an amazing narrative.

The right has created the mainstream alternative media has created. Uh, but anyway, when you look at this, they do have an orthodoxy. They may not want you to have, uh, any majors in your school,

but, um, they want you to have all of their religion. LGBT, Marxism, racism, all of this stuff. That's got to be there. And if you don't have that there and you openly advertise that you're a Christian school in private, they start looking for a way to destroy you. We're not being paranoid. This is just we see this over and over again.

Biden administration's claim that the school didn't provide information about the need for graduate students to continue to take education courses. The department has not cited any student complaints. Instead, they made a number of conclusory statements that do not appear to be supported by actual facts, said the Goldwater Institute in their op-ed piece. They said the school allegedly, quote, violated federal disclosure laws by insufficiently disclosing to PhD students that they may have to take continuing courses while completing their doctoral dissertations. In other words, the allegation is that the most highly educated students at GCU can't read the brochures, which is clearly stated.

And again, there have been no complaints from the students. That's the key thing. So what is the standing from the Department of Education if there's been no complaints? Well, you know, they're coming after Trump in New York, even though the banks didn't complain about it and where's their standing in this well we know where they're standing this is just political persecution of their enemies and you know i don't support trump

but that's what this manhattan thing is um the uh commentary uh from the people again i said it's it's not as commentary right now it's not a complaint it's not a lawsuit that's been filed noted that the um department's conclusory statements would in any other context be considered to be defamation they said even if they can't prove the allegations against their allegations, not even student allegations, this, the Biden department of education has allegations and no student complaints. Even if they can't prove this, they intend for the process to be punishment. They said in their commentary, this is a school that has found innovative solutions for everything from the nationwide nursing shortage to graduating students into high-demand and high-paying trade jobs.

They have a thriving campus life with students dedicated to serving the surrounding neighborhood, which is economically distressed but substantially improving because of this university's presence. Its students graduate with less debt than an average student nationwide. And by way of comparison, public universities nationwide have raised tuition on resident students by an average of more than 150% over the past two decades, despite benefiting from taxpayer-funded subsidies that GCU does not receive. So they don't get taxpayer money like, you know, these other places. And they don't get big donors like Harvard, who's now starting to lose their big donors. We're going to take a

quick break and we'll be right back. And I just want to say, as we begin to play this, thank you so much to APS Radio for carrying this and for being a supporter of this program.

Thank you very much, all of you. And thank you for bearing with us as we read that out. But those are the people that keep this broadcast going. Thank you so much to all of you for your support. Let's talk a little about crime and punishment. There is an amazing story that just came out yesterday, and I haven't seen people pick this up much in the media yet.

But as a lead up to it, there are some other punishments that are rolling around. I've talked for the longest time about civil asset forfeiture. If you know this program, you know about civil asset forfeiture. When Megan Kelly came to InfoWars to interview people, I brought that up. She'd never heard of it. She's a lawyer and a journalist. She'd never heard of it and still doesn't care. After she heard about it, she still doesn't care because it's about her, right? But this is a sentencing commission that has again proposed restricting judges' use of acquitted conduct. You see, this is not only do we have people with civil asset forfeiture. They say, well, it's not a law.

It's a rule passed by the bureaucracy. So you don't get any of the protections under the Constitution. You don't get the presumption of innocence. You don't get due process. You don't get protection against excessive fines. Because this is a rule. It's not a law. Isn't that odd?

Right? The very fact that we are regulated without representation is an abomination. And yet they use that very abomination are regulated without representation is an abomination and yet they use that very abomination of regulation without representation then to deny us all the due process outlined in the constitution it's an outrage it's an outrage i don't understand why people are not outraged about civil asset forfeiture but But here's another aspect of this. And they're looking at possibly reforming this, but maybe not. I don't know.

This is picked up by Reason. A government panel could soon limit a little-known but outrageous practice that allows federal judges to enhance defendants' sentence based on conduct that they have been acquitted of. What? You've been acquitted of it, but the judge can still enhance your sentence as if you had been convicted of that? Yes, that's been going on. And so they look at this as, well, maybe we should stop this.

By the way, you know, maybe we should call this the Ross Ulbricht Clause. Because it was even worse with Ross Ulbricht. You know, just as we talk about the fact they can steal your property, your cash, your car, your home, your business, anything like that. They can steal it without even, without a conviction, without even indicting you for anything. Well, Ross Ulbrich, who was running Silk Road, and of course you also had FBI agents who were dipping into that and stole a million dollars out of it. And they were on trial for that at the same time that Ross Ulbrich was. But they would not allow Ross Ulbricht's defense

to even mention that. Because if he was allowed to mention that, then people might not believe the government's narrative that Ross Ulbricht was solely responsible for anything that happened on this website. And of course, there was some illegal activity that was happening on this website, just like there's illegal activity that happens everywhere on the Internet. They had a big problem because he was an early adopter and promoter of Bitcoin. He put his website on what they like to call the dark web. Why do they call it the dark web?

Is it any darker than the rest of the web? No, it's not. It's simply that they can't see it. And Goatry and I have talked about that many times but for ross albrecht as these fbi agents have the keys to it as they're stealing a million dollars out of the website and then subsequently getting convicted themselves but don't tell the jury that but what they did after they convicted him of um you know having the website there were allegations but never an indictment that there had been something put on the website murder for hire

and again he was it was these are allegations that were made in the press you had a district attorney who made these allegations in the press but but he never did an indictment. I wonder why. And yet when they convicted Ross and I forget what it was that they convicted him of the, the key thing about the enhancement for this, they gave him this young man. They gave three consecutive life sentences to, uh, which means that he can never get parole. I've interviewed his mother multiple times when I was at InfoWars, and I've lost contact with her, but I have to try to get contact with her.

We talked about it at the time, and I had her on at the time because there was a hope at the time that perhaps some of the people in the Trump administration would get Trump to pardon him. And that was really when I was talking to his mother at the time. Now there's not any hope of that because Biden is such an authoritarian and because they're so adamantly opposed to crypto and that type of thing. But that was one of the things that really disturbed me at the end of the Trump's first administration, the fact that he didn't pardon the January the Sixth people,

the fact that he didn't pardon Ross Ulbricht, the fact that he didn't pardon Marty Gosfeld, who subsequently got out serving his time, and many, many others that are there. Francis Schaeffer Cox and others that he should have pardoned. Instead, Trump pardoned some of the biggest white-collar criminals and frauds and friends of Jared Kushner. And we know why.

Money. That corruption. It just made me want, it just made me sick on top of everything else that he had been doing for the last year, on top of the lockdowns, on top of the masks, on top of the warp speed, on top of the vote by mail election, then pushing people into January 6th. And then he doesn't pardon people who have been abused by the system like Ross Ulbricht.

Three consecutive life sentences. You know, the Bible tells us, gives us the character of God and describes him as defender of widows, father to fatherless, who sets the prisoners free, such as prisoners who were held unjustly. I don't see any of that character in this character who's running for office. Just amazing. Anyway, so what they're doing,

so with Ross Ulbrich, they use the allegations in the press, even though he was never indicted and certainly wasn't convicted. That's why I brought up civil asset forfeiture. They use that to give him, to enhance the sentence to three consecutive life sentences. But they're doing it to a lesser degree for a lot more people as well. At the sentencing phase of a trial, federal judges can enhance the defendants' sentences for conduct that they were acquitted of.

Again, Ross was not even indicted or tried for this. But even if somebody has gone to trial and been acquitted, the judge can pretend as if they were convicted of that and use that to enhance their sentence. If the judge decides that it's more likely than not that the defendant committed those offenses, so he doesn't really care what the jury said. The judge thinks, they say he's innocent. I think he's guilty, so I'm going to charge him and punish him as if he was guilty. So is that trial by jury or is that trial by opinion you know what what is um what is happening with that that is simply opinion and prejudice of the judge it's not a trial and and we've seen judges

essentially shut down juries in every aspect uh you're here to uh judge the facts of the case they say not whether or not you like this, not whether or not you agree with the punishment that is attached to this, because that's what jury nullification is about. Again, going back to the case of William Penn when he was still in England, they outlawed the Quaker church, the people decided they were going to meet anyway, so then they padlocked

the church building doors, and they met on the steps of the church building, and so then they arrested William Penn. When they took him to trial, the foreman and the assistant foreman, foreman's name was Edward Bushnell, threw it out. And it was clear what the law was, and it was clear what the penalty was. And they said, no, we're going to say he's innocent because we don't agree with the law.

That's called jury nullification. And so then the judge threw Edward Bushnell and the other guy, his name, I don't recall into jail. Oh yeah. Well, you don't want to put him in jail for our making it a crime to belong to a particular church, like our ally Zelensky is doing in Ukraine. Well, then we will throw you into jail. You can take his place then. And so then their lawyer said uh show me the law that they violated habeas corpus and the judge is like well no show me the law that they violated when they nullified these laws as a jury it's not against the law for a jury to nullify this and so the judge let him go

established habeas corpus but it also established jury nullification, clearly. And we follow that tradition in the United States, and it is explicitly protected in many state constitutions. But judges will tell people, you're not here to judge the law or the penalty. You're here to judge the facts of the case. That's a lie. But even when they judge the facts of the case and they say no i don't think they proved their case the judge says well i think they did he overrides that as well

isn't it amazing what an authoritarian dictatorship america has become at every level of government whether you're talking about a lot of these courts and judges or these other government officials. And we saw that in 2020 in spades. Here's another example of overpunishment. This is a 10-year-old kid. And he was arrested because somebody complained about, well, let me just tell you the facts of the case here. This is in Mississippi.

A 10-year-old has been sentenced to three months probation for urinating behind his mother's car. The boy's mother is refusing to sign the probation agreement. It's a regular probation. I thought it was something that would be for a juvenile, but it's the same terms an adult criminal would have, said the family's attorney. We cannot in good conscience accept a probation agreement that treats a 10-year-old child as a criminal. So what was his crime?

Well, in August, this third grader, whose name is Quantavius Eason, Quantavius, they have aspirations of Roman Empire for him, I guess. Quantavious was seen urinating behind his mother's car while she went inside an attorney's office. Police saw Quantavious, arrested him, arrested the 10-year-old, and took him to a local police station. According to the boy's mother, Latanya Eason, her son was even placed inside a jail cell, despite posing no threat to the officers. Quantavious was charged with, quote, child in need of supervision.

They charged him with that, not the mother. And a youth court judge sentenced him last week to three months of probation, as well as a two-page report on the late basketball player Kobe Bryant. Does Kobe Bryant know how to use a restroom or something? Kobe Bryant, did you know that about him? He's evidently not only a master at playing basketball, but he really knows how to use the restroom. The connection with that.

Just pure arbitrary nonsense. But this is the case that I wanted to give you the background for. This is a situation where you now have an 18-year-old being sentenced to life in a hospital prison for something they did when he was 16. And you won't believe what he did. It's kind of like, you know, urinating behind his mother's car in a sense. And I'm going to make light of this, even though they said,

well, this cost the company $5 million and thousands of hours and employee shifts. The company is Rockstar Games, the makers of this reprehensible but famous and successful game called Grand Theft Auto. Version 6 is about to come out in 2025. The previous version, 5, came out in 2013. They've been working on this for quite some time. So what did this 18-year-old do to these people who promote every kind of reprehensible, violent, sexual assault, mass murder shooting, cop killing, flying planes into buildings, all the rest of the stuff that's in Grand Theft Auto. What was it that was the crime of this person

who's going to actually get life in prison? Was it anything like they model and they have kids playing all the time? No, nothing at all like that. What this guy did was he hacked into the company. And did he destroy their code no what he did was he released 90 clips of the upcoming video game for people to watch on youtube what he put out early trailer material and they got millions hundreds of millions of views in a couple of days lawyers argued well he actually promoted your game. People have been desperate for information about this for 10 years.

And so he showed people some clips of the game. And that got these people who are very powerful and connected to the government angry. And if you get somebody who's very powerful and connected to the government angry with you, and the government is corrupt like our government is, they can send you to jail for life. He is in the UK, I believe. This story is covered by the BBC. You'll only be released if medical professionals judge him to be no longer dangerous. Well, what is the medical angle of this?

Well, this kid is a genius, but he's got autism. And so he is an amazing hacker. He has been affiliated with a black hat group that has broken into a lot of different things in the past. And as a matter of fact, you know, he'd broken into Nvidia, the company that makes a very fast GPUs that are used for crypto mining and other things like that. So he'd broken into some of these places with these other people. They had him in custody and they had taken away his computer. But listen to this, despite having his computer taken away,

he broke into rockstar games, the developer of Grand Theft Auto 6. What did he use after they took his computer away? He used an Amazon Fire Stick, a hotel TV, and a mobile phone. And he was able to break into their system and grab trailer shots of what the game's going to look like. Isn't that amazing? Perhaps they're going to keep him in prison because they want to put him on some kind of a Mission Impossible team. He takes an Amazon Fire Stick, his phone, and the hotel TV and does this. Mental health review showed that he, quote, continued to express intent to return to cybercrime as soon as possible.

Prior to his September 2022 arrest, he had been a member of an international cybercrime group called Lapsus Dollar. I haven't talked to Goatree about this this i have to get his opinion on this you know that's what he's on the other side you know he's doing the cyber security protection against people like this um he was on bail for hacking nvidia and uh bt slash ee i don't know who that is. Is that a game company, Travis? Do you know? I don't know. And he's placed under police protection at a hotel. But again, you know, he just uses a fire stick, a hotel TV, and a mobile phone. And he gets into GTA 6 and he releases all this stuff. His legal team claimed that the trailer that he put out that he got from them got 128 million views on youtube

in just its first four days um suggesting that the hack did not harm rockstar games but according to them it cost them five million dollars and thousands of hours and employee shifts they come after people who are hackers that they catch them this, they come after them with draconian measures. Now, Aaron Schwartz, who was not a hacker, but he was an activist who resisted CISPA SOPA act PIPA. And then they finally got CISA through after they killed air Schwartz. I believe they killed him. And they started coming after him.

They said, well, he logged onto the computer at MIT and he didn't have the credentials and everything. So they got a woman who was a federal prosecutor up in Massachusetts. They were grooming her to become governor, Carmine Ortiz. And at first, you know, she's talking about how she's going to come after him with a lot of, um, you know, penalties and things like that. Uh, then he supposedly committed suicide and people got really angry with her, uh, driving this guy who had become a hero to a lot of people because he had worked against government censorship and surveillance and her husband tweeted out a thing and said, no, no he was she just offered him if he

confessed she just offered him you know like a short sentence with a suspended on probation and that type of thing he said she didn't drive him to suicide and then he took that down because they didn't want people to realize that maybe he'd been killed. But it's been 10 years since the previous version of Grand Theft Auto. And when you think about his crime versus what Grand Theft Auto portrays, we just had somebody, I don't know the story of this guy, somebody in Prague who went on a mass shooting spree. Why is it that we see this kind of stuff that we didn't used to see? Well, if you go back to 2013, when the previous version of Grand Theft Auto was released, this publication called

TheGamer.com talked about the 15 most despicable acts that you can commit in Grand Theft Auto. And after these other acts, they would say, and we love them. Yeah, we love doing this and we love it. And of course, they make it clear. They can understand the difference between somebody playing a game and what real life is. I said, we understand that difference. Well, you know, you got a lot of people who don't understand that difference. Because you got a lot of people like the Nashville killer,

probably like this person who just shot all these people in Prague. They don't understand the difference. I understand that there's MK ultra programs and all that. Don't, don't, you don't have to remind me of that. You don't have to think that I don't understand what that is, but there's other aspects of this stuff that's out there as well.

As I've said, I think the reason they won't release the manifesto of this trainee killer it just shows you what these people are capable of in terms of driving some people over the edge uh yeah you look at mk ultra but you know you can do that to people with this transgender stuff, as I said before, make them hate themselves, hate your skin color, hate your sex, your gender, and then hate everybody and go and kill them. You know, let's not, uh, uh, let's not miss the, the, the, the, the, the clear forest that is in front of us because we're studying the tree of MKUltra. Yes, they've used that. But take a look at what they're doing in a blanket way. Through the schools, through the entertainment, through the games,

through the films, and all the rest of this stuff. And so here's an example. The gamer was saying this in 2013 when the last Grand Theft Auto came out. Even among the violent video games out there, Grand Theft Auto stands in a class all its own, says the gamer. Nobody can beat the original crime-themed open-world masterpiece series. There will always be GTA. Every other game of this kind is just an imitator. This magical franchise tends to bring a new

set of controversies with it everywhere it goes. They've continued the trend with Grand Theft GTA 5. They've continued the trend of increasing the violence and becoming more and more controversial to keep up with how sick and maniacal mainstream society

continues to become. And you say, what a time to be alive. Well, again, cause or effect. Which one is the cause? Which one is the effect? We always have this argument when we talk about content. And, you know, I know I'm sounding like Tipper Gore here, but occasionally liberals can get something right.

But when we look at this, is it a cause or effect, or are they just reinforcing each other? Is it an echo chamber? I think that's what is happening here. I think it's an echo chamber that amplifies. And both of these things amplify each other. Of course, they said about GTA 5 in 2013. Of course, beating people with baseball bats and shooting them with small arms

and driving full speed into them with vehicles is one thing, but part of the beauty of this series is that they've sold over 250 million games by allowing the player to get more creative than that. While it may be in poor taste and while it may be borderline obscene, we know the difference between real life and a video game. So we're going to count down 15 of the most despicable acts a player can commit in Grand Theft Auto. And we're going for more than just shooting people, vehicular homicide, and brutal assaults with weapons here. Those are not a big deal in this series. So again, are we causing mass killers? Are we amplifying the effect of that?

Are we generating feedback effect for that as well? So first one, I'll just show a little bit of that. I'm not going to go over every one of these in detail uh but um again uh this is um grand theft auto and uh this is uh how you can kill people by drowning them or you know shooting them so here's a guy he's running down a dock and now he pulls out a gun and now he's just going to start shooting at people and uh some of the people he shoots and some of the people he scares off the dock and they jump into the water and then as he gets to the end of the people he shoots and some of the people he scares off the dock, and they jump into the water.

And then as he gets to the end of the dock and looks down, he sees people who are floating in the water dead, not moving. There we go. Killed those people. Now let's shoot some people. Yeah, isn't that great? Isn't that fun? I mean, what a way to entertain yourself. Feel free to drop in if you disagree with this, Travis, as somebody who plays games.

Another thing you can do is killing ladies of the night, as I say, to get your money back. Shooting prostitutes. Targeting cops. Yeah, that's another thing that you can do. Or you can fly planes into buildings and reenact 9-11. They let you do that in grand theft auto uh you can put somebody in the trunk of your car and then push them off a cliff isn't this fun don't you love games games this is a sick society and it's getting sicker and this

is one of the reasons why as i said it's this feedback amplification. Blowing somebody up on national TV. Or you can play a fetch with a dog using a hand grenade. Oh, that's loads of laughs, isn't it? You know, people think that these things don't have any effect on them. Do you realize when they want to sell you their brand of margarine, why do these people spend millions of dollars on it? Edward Bernays knew that that got people into World War I and other things like that, propaganda for Woodrow Wilson.

He goes to Madison Avenue. You may think that you're not susceptible to this stuff, but when you go to the grocery store, you're going to be more likely to grab the thing that you're familiar with and all these other things. They have a way to provide this. And so I say, we always talk about things like MKUltra, but we don't talk about how the culture is being dragged to hell, not just by drag queen storytime hours, which I understand the influence that that has. And these things have influence on young people.

They harden them to violence. It's no longer shocking. You get accustomed to it. It's one of the reasons why the games and the movies become more and more violent all the time. Well, because it's all there to shock you. And so whether you look at a horror film or you look at something that's got a lot of sexual content in it,

it's got to continually go to the next thing, just like a drug. You've got to get something harder. That's not getting me the fix anymore. And so that's why you see this kind of stuff. And you can do sexual assault of people in Grand Theft Auto. And you can also torture people uh you can waterboard people and all the rest of this stuff that's what they put in in 2013 so um again this guy his crime was not any of this, although he probably loves this stuff and he doesn't, well,

why shouldn't I be able to just hack in and show people this wonderful program that we all love? But no, he just, he showed what they were working on. He showed their trailers. And so he's got say a life in prison in a mental institution. Because if you mess with these rich perverbs who produce this garbage like this, you get life in prison.

Not them. They get rich. You know, the rock star games would just say it's just a game. It's just for minors. Well, you know, they're the people who are going to take it more seriously, aren't they? But because he shows their trailer, something's going to come out in 2025. I saw one article said that he'd gotten some code, even if he released their code. I'm sorry.

That's not worth a life in prison. What if he did some of the other stuff? What if he shot up the people at Rockstar games like they portray being done everywhere would that be a serious crime uh i don't know you know what what is the standard of um that we have anymore we can just make this stuff up can't we we're going to take a quick break and when we come back we're going to talk a little bit about, um, some other news. I want to talk a little bit about war in the context of Christmas and, uh, the time that we talk about peace on earth. Uh, we're going to be right back.

Stay with us. © transcript Emily Beynon You're listening to The David Knight Show. Looking for better information? APSradioNews.com features articles and commentary, along with audio from all the top news from around the world. APSradioNews.com Well, as we talk about excessive penalties and punishment, in Australia, their e-safety commissioner has initiated a civil penalty proceedings

against Elon Musk's Twitter, now called X, $780,000 fine per day. Is that excessive? Well, it would be for pretty much anybody, but the world's richest man. Quite frankly, nearly three quarters of a million dollars. And that could bankrupt Elon Musk in 800 years. That's how much money he's got.

I mean, it's like we saw the same thing happen in texas as we were moving out we didn't know it but um uh elon musk was moving into the county where we lived and he was doing all kinds of things with uh you know he's got uh his boring company and he had spacex had a headquarters there and i think so he was expanding this stuff out and building kind of a complex there where he was going to have some housing for some of his employees and stuff like that. But, you know, the people who said, well, we've got, we want you to, you've got to have your sewer connection.

He says, no, I'm not going to bother with that. I'm just going to dump it into the Colorado River. What? And then this is what we would like you to do in terms of your curb cuts into the road. It's like, I'm not going to bother with that. I'm going to do it the way I want to do it. And, uh, so they started finding him and he said, I don't care what these fines are. Keep doing what you're doing. We'll pay the fines. I don't care to the extent that the people in that County said, well, what are we going to do? Do we raise these fines? I mean, the fines are already

really high for ordinary people, but for Elon Musk, he just blows it off. And I'm telling you, you know, when people get this, this has just happened in Australia. And then, of course, there's going to be the European Union that's going to do the same thing. And you're going to see an echo chamber from the mainstream alternative media, MAGA bird press.

Look at this. Look at our billionaire savior, how they're coming after him. Poor guy. You know, he's gonna, they're going to bankrupt him in a thousand years. Um,

he knows what he's doing. Yeah. He'll probably take these fines and keep going. And I'm glad that he's going to keep something open. That is a supposedly free speech, but it's not free speech if you don't. If you're critical of Elon Musk, you know, that's he'll let you be critical of other people, not of him, you know, that type of thing. So, again, keep that in mind. You know, when you look at this, yes, it is horrible.

The EU and these other governments in australia in the united states especially don't want to have any free speech and that is reprehensible i'm not excusing that whatsoever but i'm just saying that um he can afford uh to do the science and it is he's not even going to feel it it's nothing to him uh but uh we've got the um this article uh on nature that came out on wednesday it said um if you're doing your own research you hear all this stuff do your own research i say that other people say that do your own research you know here's what i'm telling you but look it up see if that's true look it up yourself don't simply believe it because fauci tells you don't simply believe that the vaccine is harmless because alex wants to promote trump and says

trump's not giving you the bad stuff he's giving you sugar water you know they're they're taking this covid virus which has not been isolated and they're going to kill and weaken it well you know a virus is if there are viruses, they've never claimed that a virus was alive like bacteria, something you can't see. So again, it's a model, it's a representation, like our different representations of the universe, you know, and planetary movement, or the atom itself. These things are always changing all the time, you know, going from the Niels Bohr model

of the atom to quantum physics and stuff like that. I don't know if there's a virus or not. I don't know if that's the correct way to explain the disease that's out there. We're seeing pathogens or what we're seeing. But, you know, if you were going to inoculate somebody with something that's caused by bacteria, which you can see, you would weaken or kill it. That's not what that was about. Alex knew that it was an MRA code that was going to come in and reprogram your DNA and be self-replicating. Why is he telling people that it's going to be weakened or attenuated and it's like sugar water? But if you're getting bad

information like that, you need to do your own research. You know, and understand where people are coming from. That's why I mentioned it. You need to understand that they're going to lie to you to further their agenda. Fauci's going to lie to you to further his agenda. Trump is going to lie to you to further his agenda. Alex is going to lie to you to further his agenda. They've got an agenda, and they don't care what happens to you. You see?

And so these people were running it. This article on nature said we did an experiment. We got 3000 Americans and showed people who had been nudged. That's their term nudged because that's what they're constantly doing. They're constantly nudging you in a direction. Very subtle propaganda is what they're constantly doing. They're constantly nudging you in a direction. Very subtle propaganda is what they call nudging. People who've been nudged to do research online were 19% more likely to believe a false or misleading article.

Over those who only looked at reputable sources. And you know what they're saying here. If you've got people who do their own research, 19% of them realize that we're selling them a bill of goods and lying to them about a government or an official narrative. They portray, well, you know, people do their own research. They're going to get involved in misinformation. No, they're going to find information that they missed, information that the government didn't want them to see, and then they're not going to believe the government's lies which they the government says well that's misinformation then uh and so in this context by the way you have uh donald tusk

who is part of the eu part of their censorship uh part of their censorship, one of the core globalists, they just had an election in Poland. In Poland, the conservatives lost. And they put Donald Tusk in. He immediately sees the major TV station there, the government TV station. It's one of the reasons why you don't want to have government TV. But you can imagine what would happen here. If for example, um,

you know, Trump gets in and what if he arrests the people who are running PBS and NPR? I know, I know you want to see, you'd like to see that happen. I would not be too upset to see that either, except for the precedent that it sets,

right? Because the next time, you know, every time you have a change of election, you know, the people like Zelensky or the people like Donald Tusk that are allied with the Biden administration and our government, they want to throw their opponents into jail. We don't want to have a system like that, but that's what is happening in Poland right now. So, yes, do not believe any narrative except what we give you. And that is essentially what all these corrupted institutions are saying. The National Sex Ed Conference has a webinar to explain to people that children are in danger if parents have any kind of a say in sex education. No, no. danger if parents have us any kind of a say in sex education no no the people who are in danger of parents have a say in sex education if parents understand what's being taught to their kids the

people who are in danger of these sex educators these groomers with what they're doing today but they portray it as the parents will give false information to these kids and endanger them no they're being endangered by groomers here pretend that minors have the maturity to mutilate themselves sexually because of the uh the gas lighting that is uh being done to them by these uh these so-called uh educators that are there uh you know it is um it is kind of interesting and i'm not going to take the time to talk about it today. I might talk about it at another point. But there is, in the UK, the institution that was at the forefront of all this gender gaslighting that's happening to minor kids was Tavistock.

And a guy who worked there for over a decade has now left, and they're going to close it down at the beginning of this next year because it's such an outrage in the UK. And one of the guys who was working there has written a book exposing all this stuff as well. That's all come out. And even in the UK, they're shutting this thing down and he talked about how there was um he called it um uh trans housing by proxy in other words like munchausen by proxy he said the parents are bringing these kids in and saying uh here's here's my uh three-year-old and they identify as being a different gender and uh we're preparing him and

all this other kind of thing we all know that's not coming from the kid it's coming from the parents and they're doing this in the same way and when people talk about munchausen by proxy that's uh these psychiatrists saying well the parents are doing this to the kid simply because they want attention to focus on them. And so Mary Ellen Moore of Free Mind Films has sent this to us. And I want to thank her for that. Thank her for supporting the show. She said, I'm in the UK for a few days. And she said, look at these headlines that are here.

Maybe the people here are starting to wake up. And here's the headline from the Daily Telegraph. Schools told to presume that children cannot change their gender. Again, the worm has turned in the UK. They're shutting down Tavistock. This guy's got a book that has just been released. It's blowing the whistle on all this stuff. And now they're starting to switch. And sent me the article talking about what they're doing there but i'm going to talk about that um at another time

i i have a couple more things that i want to say here in the context of culture but i don't really want to get into this stuff today i'm really kind of sick of it frankly um and i'll just quickly mention this is what a lot of people are talking about with this kids program. Cocomelon, I guess is the way, Cocomelon, is the way you pronounce it? Okay, Travis is nodding his head. How do you know about this thing? It's a Netflix kid that they show that they're using to groom toddlers. It's crazy,

especially because it's not even the latest thing that has gotten the attention is this kid. Who's got two dads and they little boy, and they put him in a tutu and he dances. And you've got your little toddlers who are watching this. You want to talk about grooming? we're talking about sex education uh i mean disney and netflix will groom your kids are you going to let these people have access to your kids are you going to set your kids in front of the tv set and um let these perverts babysit your kids because that's what you're

really doing you're letting perverts babysit your kids and that's what you're really doing. You're letting perverts babysit your kids. And so long before this happened, as Breitbart points out, there's been accusations long before they were promoting this cross-dressing and all the rest of this stuff. There were other accusations about how it was creating anger issues, ADHD, autism, speech delays, all kinds of behavioral issues, and how it was addicting the kids. One mother said, I'd put my kids there and they'd start watching this thing and they became like zombies.

They were mesmerized by what they saw. She said, she told Newsweek, I knew it was affecting him because he would be in a daze while watching it. You could wave your hand right in front of his face and he wouldn't move it was almost scary almost scary almost scary but it didn't scare you did it it didn't scare you enough to cancel your netflix subscription and i gotta say you know if you're there's a lot of different ways if you want to watch movies there's a lot of different ways you can do it without feeding that monster because even if you're not putting your kids or grandkids in front of

Cocomelon, you're feeding the people that put that stuff out. The people who give Barack Obama, Michelle Obama, millions, tens of millions, hundreds of millions of dollars to create propaganda garbage for adults. Stop feeding that thing. One commenter described the show as baby cocaine. He said, taking the kids away from the cartoon can lead to quote,

very real symptoms of withdrawal because they're addicted to it. The phenomenon says a bright bar appeared to be linked to the spike in the cartoons popularity during the COVID-19 lockdowns of 2020. No, it wasn't a COVID lockdown. It wasn't COVID-19 lockdowns Breitbart. It was Trump lockdowns during the Trump lockdowns of 2020. One popular Tik TOK account claimed that the show is addictive because it is

edited in a way that it creates overstimulation for kids. Do you think they know that? I think they know that. I think they know exactly what they are doing. We're going to take a quick break and we'll be right back. Sometimes your day needs a little smoothing. Check out the Jazz Channel at APSradio.com and the APS Radio app and leave the stress behind. Thank you. you're listening to the david knight show all right let's uh talk about war at this time when people talk about peace on earth.

And this is a story that was on Zero Hedge, and somebody's already responded to it. So, well, there may be a different way that Trump might want to take a look at this. But as Trump is talking about how he is the prince of peace, he is going to bring peace to the earth in just a single day. Besides the sheer demagoguery of this, saying he'll do it in 24 hours. Some of the other things that he said were what caused this retired Lieutenant General, Keith Kellogg, and Dan Negreha, to write this article on the national interest. I said, um, far from abandoning Ukraine, a second Trump administration would lift use restrictions on Ukrainian military and aid in order to force. A peace settlement. Donald Trump has vowed that in a second presidential term, he'll end the war in 24 hours.

Uh, but again, you remember, remember you know we talk about this and somebody ending the war right away makes me think about when uh when ronald reagan became president right as soon as he was sworn in they released the hostages in iran and many people believe you know most americans perception of what's going on in ir Iran does not begin in the 1950s with our coup there against a leftist who was going to nationalize oil industries. The CIA led a coup against him, put in the Shah of Iran, who worked with American oil companies. And as part of that, the CIA then subsequently trained the Shah of Iran to have a group of ruthless secret police who would torture and kill anybody who was even moderately opposed to him. They called it the Savak. And then that all blew up eventually, that kind of horrific repression.

And I knew that background because, again, there was a lot of Iranian students who had come to America that were in the engineering classes that I was taking at the time. And they were protesting with ski masks on their face and things like that, and I talked to them about it. It's like, what's going on? What's this about? Anyway, that was the context for what happened with the blowback that put in somebody that was equally horrible in a different way. The Ayatollah, of course, and the blowback for them taking over the U.S. embassy and imprisoning all these people.

But the reason that they released all that stuff on day one was not because they were necessarily afraid of Ronald Reagan. It was because Ronald Reagan's campaign manager, Bill Casey, was one of the founders of the CIA. He'd been very active in World War II with the OSS, which was the predecessor to the CIA. They called him Wild Bill Casey. He was very aggressive with the things that he did. And as Reagan's campaign manager, he saw an opportunity. I'm just assuming that they didn't have anything to do with the takeover of the embassy and the installation of the Ayatollah. Nobody suggested that yet, but I wouldn't put anything past any of these people. But he went secretly to Iran and began the Iran-Contra thing before Reagan got elected.

You keep these hostages. Do not release them to Jimmy Carter until after we are elected. And then we'll let you continue to buy parts for the state-of-the-art U.S. jets that you have here. And then after the election, they did that. Oliver North and the rest of these people. And then they took that money that they made selling these parts to Iran that Iran was not supposed to have, that it was illegal to sell that to them. And the Reagan administration, with people like Oliver North, used that for their secret wars that they'd also done illegally and so when you look at this i wonder if anything like that is um in the the making here um just just asking for a friend you know uh putin invaded ukraine under both obama and under biden but he did not attack while trump was president and there's a lesson in that i mean don't we want to have detente anymore no isn't it a win to pause aggression i think it

was that should be the lesson but you know trump is going to be completely different this time around i'm telling you uh he's going to be playing to a different audience he wants to be remembered he wants to be liked by people like maggie halberman at the new york times and by people like carl bernstein at the washington post and by people like Carl Bernstein at the Washington Post, even though they always despise him, he gives them the premier access to him and talks frankly to them, and he thinks they're going to love him. But he's going to continue to do that kind of stuff, just like he did his gun control by executive order with the bump stock. And then he started the gun control by executive order against pistol braces.

And it was continued by Biden. Anyway, the Trump doctrine for Ukraine. He's argued that he would use his personal relationship with Zelensky and Putin to negotiate a settlement on the first day. And just one day. Both sides appear to believe that they can still prevail on the battlefield. But Trump's proposed approach, says this retired lieutenant general, could change that calculation. Trump said, and this is what they're basing this whole article and analysis off of. Trump said, I would tell Putin, if you don't make a deal, we're going to give him a lot.

And we're going to give Ukraine more than they ever got. If we have to oh sounds kind of like Nixon and Kissinger deciding that they're going to win in Vietnam by secret bombing campaign or something I don't know and we should pay attention to history sometimes it tells us things that we could learn some Republicans argue that the ukraine conflict is a european matter and it has no consequence to the united states uh so just stop feeding this coup and war machine do what you did the first time if you become president just pause it as a matter of fact you know trump might

understand that ukraine and the people in you not the people of Ukraine, but the Ukrainian government that was put in by Obama is, you know, a core part of his problem. It was all the way through all this Russiagate stuff. You had people who were Ukrainian like Vindman. What was it? It's Lieutenant Colonel to you right no Venman Venman uh whatever his title is I don't care other people I used to always talk about Alexandria Chalupa I interviewed people from Ukraine so they saw the DNC there you know Alexandria Chalupa and other people working and conspiring with Ukrainian government officials. And of course, you know, Victoria Nuland, State Department official who kicked all this stuff off.

But they said, well, you know, strategically, this author, as his public comments reinforce, Trump disagrees with this idea of just leaving Ukraine alone. Even though these people are his enemies, he's going to supposedly support them. He sees ending the war as a major foreign policy issue, one that he plans to accomplish on day one. Because you see, even if Zelensky and all these other people are a bunch of ruthless Obama-Biden co-conspirators against him. He still wants the perception of being the great peacemaker, peace through strength. But what happens if we just give peace a chance, right?

All these stupid wars of empire that never end. And so I'll just give you another reminder. We see this every year, that over a couple of days of Christmas, as the war began, the World War I began in 1914, it was only a few months old. People had not been hardened yet, and their hatred of the other side. you had um peace breakout and this was um we've had so many movies about this we've had operas and plays about this and now we've got a candy commercial about it they went to a great deal to produce this um in in the uk here's a part of it. Christmas Eve, 1914. He's holding their product, by the way.

Nice product placement there. He's in the trench. He's looking at the pictures and the letters and the chocolate bar that he gets from home All is bright. Brutus Trout, a whole heidi gebar. Holy infant so happy and love. Sleep in heaven shall be.

So on in heaven shall we. Singing Silent Night in both German and English. And this is what happened. See movement on the other side. Everybody gets their arms up. It's going to be a charge, but it's not. Guy's got his hands up. My name is Jim. My name is Otto.

Pleased to meet you, Otto. Like me. Rose, she's called. I'm soon, I'm going to start off with a flight mission. Rose, she's called. I'm just showing him. I'm just showing him. They got together, they exchanged cards, gifts, played football. They did this for a couple of days. And it became very extensive.

It was not just in one area. happy christmas and they exchange gifts one of them gives a biscuit the other one gives a cookie whatever that was and the other one gives a chocolate bar because that's the sponsor. But here's a real sponsor piece, right? You heard them playing leaning on the everlasting arms. What was the purpose of World War I? You know, what caused it? You know, again, oh, Archduke. What caused?

No, it wasn't an assassination of an Archduke. It was the geopolitical aspirations of people who wanted to build and extend their empire, politicians who are willing to kill those people. And after this went on for a few days and it spread all up and down the line, the generals on both sides got wind of it and they punished some people for fraternizing with the enemy. And I had to watch that very closely. But, of course, it wasn't too much longer after that that the killing became so ruthless

that the people on the front lines would no longer try to reach out to the other side. You see? That's what we have to be careful of. You can see that in the Hamas-Israeli thing, right? Just the ruthless murder that doesn't end and how it spreads and how your own people are killed. And the leaders don't care.

And the longer it gets, the more people get hardened into their hatred. But what was that war all about, World War I? What was their goal? How were they going to end it well essentially ended because people just couldn't put up with a slaughter anymore and again it was the leadership there uh it was certainly not our war certainly wasn't america's war we certainly did not not have an interest there. But of course, Woodrow Wilson, being a globalist, wanted to get involved in that, trying to lay after the war the foundation for a global government

through the League of Nations and all these other things. But it made no sense for any country to be involved in that. But you heard in that commercial, I thought it was interesting, they put in there uh leaning on the everlasting arms and old him which would have been around at that time that goes back to the 1800s but it made me think of sergeant york you know this is another story that goes back to world war one and of course sergeant york alvin york is celebrated here in tennessee tennessee native they got a big statue of him down at the state capitol much larger than life i mean it's like nine foot tall statue that's at ground level kind of interesting uh but um you know sergeant york uh was a movie that was done with gary cooper's

done in the middle of um you know as as we were getting into World War II, or we were already in it, I don't remember the exact. I think we were already in it or about to get in it. It wasn't just a story of bravery and of accomplishment, because it truly was amazing what he was able to do. But it was also a story that they could use to shut down opposition to World War II, because people remembered World War I, the war to end all wars, hopefully,

the futility of it, the slaughter of it. Americans didn't want to have anything to do with it, so they told Sergeant York's story. And in it, you see his conversion from a peace-loving Christian to somebody who will go fight their war for them. You applied for exemption, I believe, as a conscientious objector. Yes, sir. Well, I think we can disregard that.

York Sergeant Parsons recommends your promotion to the rank of corporal with special detail as instructor in target practice. Captain Danforth and I heartily approve. I congratulate you, York. Well, I'm much obliged to you, Major Buxton and Captain Danforth. Well, I'll learn them fellas to shoot the best I can, like I already done Pusher and Burt.

I mean, Privates Ross and Thomas. But, well, I don't want to be no corporal. What's that? I said I don't want to be no corporal. Why not? Wait a minute, Captain. Let him talk. Well, you see, I... Is it because of your religious convictions, York?

Yes, sir. That's it. You see, I believe in the Bible. And I'm believing that this here life we're living is something the Lord done give us. And we got to be living it the best we can. And I'm figuring that killing other folks ain't no part of what he was intending for us to be doing here. Well, yes, in a way, I agree with you. York, with your permission, Major. Certainly, Captain. Sit down, York.

You say you believe in the Bible. Yes, sir. Well, I do, too. But do you believe that the Bible means that a man shouldn't fight for what he believes to be right? Well, it done said, blessed are the peacemakers. Yes, I know, but you remember that verse, I think it's in Luke, where he says, he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment and buy one?

He said that to Peter. But he done stopped Peter from using the sword. He said, them that lives by the sword will be a perishing by the sword. That, er, er, further on. Yes, I remember, but... Now, go ahead, Captain. But according to St. John, he said, um, my kingdom is not of this world.

If my kingdom were of this world, then would my servant fight. Well, that's just the point, Captain. He done said his kingdom were not of this world, then would my servant fight? Well, that's just the point, Captain. He done said his kingdom were not of this world. And that, uh, that are different. Yes, but, uh... Just a moment, Captain. York, have you ever read this? History of the United States.

Yeah, sure is a lot of writing. Sure is a lot of writing, and it's a history book and i don't know you know they gave him that book and the way it proceeds in the story he tells him well you know you take this book with you about american history you take it home with you take take some leave think about this and come back and uh if you still don't want to find i'll give you um leave to go or you know you can since you're, I'll give you leave to go. Or, you know, you can, since you're an excellent marksman, you can train other people about this. It won't promote you.

But the thing is, I wonder in that history book, do they talk about George Washington or do they talk about the guy who was president at the time, Woodrow Wilson? You know, when we look at George Washington, it wasn't just the Bible that was again killing. It was George Washington that was again getting involved in foreign entanglements and that type of thing. And if he wants to go back and look at other Christian thoughts, that's why we talk about justified war. I don't think that Sergeant York would have had any qualms whatsoever if America had been invaded to defend innocent life. But that was not our war

i don't know that world war one was anybody's war except for the politicians and so we have to think about this the whole you know it comes down to him reading in the bible render to caesar what is due to caesar well if um the uh the government wants to get involved in preemptive warfare if the government wants to just have continuous war without any regard for human life without any regard for any kind of justification then i don't think we need to follow that kind of a caesar i think that we resist that frankly that's true american history not the phony american history that they portray with this and to give you an example of this getting back to ukraine we've got a former u.s general says that in order to win the war

with between ukraine and russia ukraine needs to mimic 1944 Nazi Germany. Does he know anything about history? How did that work out for the Nazis when they went to war with Russia? That's what we've been saying from the very beginning. I said it, Gerald Slint, he said it. Napoleon got defeated when he went after Russia. Russia's a giant country with a lot of people.

People were saying that about Russia. They said, you know, it's going to be tough for Russia to conquer Ukraine because it's such a large area. People say that about Iran as well. If we get into a fight there. Very large area, lots of people, lots of moving parts that you got to kill. And so it's difficult to win a war like that. But, you know, Russiaussia one of the biggest countries may not in population necessarily but in land mass and they

do have a lot of people and they have a history of taking blow after blow after blow and persisting when they are attacked and so if this general knows anything about why in the world would he say we have to do what the nazis did 1944, that didn't work out for them. We got idiots like this that we're getting advice from. Not only do they not have any Christian principles about justified war, but they don't even know what they're talking about when it comes to military history. But there's more to it than that. If you read between the lines of what this guy is saying, Ben Hodges, former commander of the U.S. Army Forces based in Europe,

and longtime Ukraine, as they call him, a supporter, but he's a longtime Ukraine instigator. Instigator. Because let's understand who the aggressor is here it's the obama administration and people of that ilk he said the ukrainian government has to consider what germany did in the second world war to stand a chance against russia and so as you're scratching your head here's where it makes sense he says they're going to have to increase production of ammunition and weapons in Ukraine.

Oh, you see, this is what these generals are. They don't care about winning. They don't care who dies, how many people die, what happens to the country. No, it's about building weapons. It's about the military industrial complex. And he's saying they've got to become like the Nazis, and they've got to ramp up their weapon production, which still didn't win the war for the Nazis. And the way we're going to do that is we're going to take some of our military industrial corporations and we're going to set up weapons manufacturing

facilities in Ukraine. Money, ka-ching, ka-ching, ka-ching, always about the money for these people. They will kill you for money. They will kill our country for money. They will drag us down into a war for money. That's what this is about. He says, think about what Germany did in 1944. Aircraft production for the Luftwaffe peaked in 1944.

That's after more than two years of steady bombing by the Royal Air Force and the U.S. Army Air Corps, bombing German cities to nothing. And yet, the German aircraft production increased. So I think that Ukraine can do that with some improving efficiencies. And we've got some Western companies that are already there helping and making money.

How transparent is their agenda? These people who want continuous war everywhere so they can make money. Nothing could be plainer. Yeah. Instead of handing them an American history book, once you hand them the balance sheets of these four or five military industrial complex giants that are there making money, sacrificing the lives of Ukrainians or Americans or anybody, anybody.

The U.S. and its allies have recommended boosting Kiev's domestic military industry. Of course they would. Moscow has constantly slammed the government in Kiev as a Nazi regime, they say. And of course it is. Literal Nazis. They have the symbols, they have the names, all the rest of the stuff. Why would we not believe that they're Nazis? will bend over backwards to ignore all of the obvious Nazi connections and expressions that are being done by Ukraine.

They will ignore all of that, and yet, you know, they're like ferreting out with a white glove anything that might possibly be Nazi-ish about their opposition everywhere. And in Ukraine, what they do is they put a Jew up front as a beard that's what zolinski is he's a beard for their nazi government it is a nazi government why yes let's let's be like the nazis even be more like the nazis let's have a massive arms build up and we can make the money american and british curators recommend that the uk the Ukrainian leadership lower the minimum draft age to 17 years and increase the maximum draft age to 70. They want people like me to fight their war.

And you've seen the face of the guy. So this is about I can't do this. This is, this is about, I can't do this. This is not in my age. I can't do this. Uh, they use people as cannon fodder and they're going to, as cannon fodder, they're going to get grandfather out there. Uh, hello, mother. Hello fodder.

Here we are at camp Granada. Um, yeah, they're going to throw the old people into the hopper here and women to the front lines as well throw everything there we literally are going to fight them to the last ukrainian and what we need are more weapons manufacturing going on right there in ukraine well what about germany well only 17% of Germans are ready to defend even their own country. Even their own country. You know, when you look at what has happened after World War II, and certainly the Nazis were not worth fighting for.

They learned that lesson. But I think it's gotten to the point where when you look at, you know, what was the Nazis' crime of aggression against other people? We do preemptive war now with everybody, you know. Japanese, it was a day of infamy. We were told, and, you know, we find out that FDR was included in that, knew about that, let it happen. And we've had preemptive war ever since then.

So, you know, Hans, are we the bad guys here with this? But since then, you know, Germany has become the symbol of evil. Everybody can understand if they want to demonize your opponent, of course, you call them Nazis. And so this has been such a pervasive meme for all of entertainment and western civilization that they've made the germans hate their own country to the extent that only 17 would even defend themselves if they're attacked now this is what they do to kids today you're white you're evil uh you're in the wrong body and all and now you need to

you know attack other people as well. This trans killer. So propagandized that she could look a nine-year-old in the face and shoot them. And so you've got 17% of Germans only would defend their nation. Because propaganda post-war has been to hate all things German. You don't have to be this blanket propaganda. Yeah, certainly hate what Hitler did, hate what the Nazis did. But they've made this so pervasive that people hate all things German.

And, you know, that same type of thing is being done against us as well. When you look at them tearing down the Civil War monuments and monuments to both sides of the Civil War, Union as well as Confederate, tearing down monuments to the people who founded this country, tearing down monuments of Teddy Roosevelt, tearing down monuments of Christopher Columbus, everybody, all of it being erased because you have to hate America. And they've created this narrative where to be hated because at some point in time we had slavery. That we ended.

Don't hate the countries where it is ongoing. But again, understand this is the game that's being played in America. We're being lied to by our own government. They want to use us as cannon fodder. And just as the Germans have been pacified with this, self-loathing, hating themselves, America is being pacified in the same way. All white people are evil. It's not okay to be white.

Racism celebrated in the institutions. And one of the things that bothers me, and it's one of the reasons why I've not really talked about this plagiarizing black woman that's the head of Harvard. Did nobody notice the fact that for years they have been hating white people, racist towards white people? But when it happens to Jewish people, oh, you got to get rid of them. And all the donors leave. And Congress says we're not going to give any more money to them. Well, I don't think they got to get rid of them. And all the donors leave. And Congress says, we're not going to give any more money to them. Well, I don't think they ought to get money. And I think that it's wrong to be anti-Semitic, but I also think it's wrong to be anti-white. Why is it that

it was not a problem for Congress? It was not a problem for these donors. It wasn't a problem for the press, for anybody. When they hated white people with a vitriol that they now show to jews why is that the case well we know why it's the case we know what is happening to america you have to be you have to hate all things american you have to hate american people and guess what american people are going to get to the point where they won't even fight to defend themselves. That is what these people want. In mid-December, Germany's Bild tabloid reported that the German army was still losing staffing despite the government's pledges to increase the army ranks. The number of armed forces personnel dropped from 183,000 in the summer to 181,000 at the end of October with

thousands of vacancies unfilled. The paper reported at the time adding that only 0.4% of the total German population was in the military. And so the same thing is being done here in America. It isn't just the abuse of the soldiers through the vaccine mandates. That was a big deal. But it also showed the utter contempt for the Constitution, the utter contempt for the free exercise of religion, the utter contempt for religion itself, and especially Christianity. And so people are not joining the military, but people in the universities,

universities like Harvard, are being taught to hate all things American and if we don't change this it's going to you know we're going to turn into Germany a former superpower not that we care about being a superpower but we want to have prosperity we want to have peace and so when we come back we're going to talk as a matter of fact as we talk about this jewish versus christian thing there was a very interesting op-ed piece from naomi wolf who is a liberal i think she's a lesbian she's jewish and she talks about christmas and how things have been turned upside down from when she was young and, uh,

and she gets it. She really gets it. I don't know. I didn't know anything about her. I saw that, you know, as she started pushing back against what Trump was doing with the lockdowns and other things like that,

she truly understands what is happening now. And, um, it's a great take on it. We're going to be right back. Elvis. Ladies and gentlemen, the Beatles. And the going to be right back. Elvis. Ladies and gentlemen, the Beatles.

And the sweet sounds of Motown. Find them on the Oldies channel at APSradio.com. Terima kasih telah menonton! Thank you. you're listening to the david knight show yes and of course that's the german version of um of uh silent night still a knocked and uh but uh on Rumble, Michael DeSilvio says, I am convinced that war is just an excuse to demolish all the beautiful ancient buildings. Well, that is unfortunately what happens. You know, when I saw this mass shooting was happening in Prague, killed, according to the count yesterday, I don't know if more people have died, killed 14,

shot an additional 29 um so uh it is it truly is amazing the the body count that is there but i saw it was in prague and you know i we used to travel but i'm not going to do that anymore because of what the airports of airplanes have become tsa and all the rest of this stuff and the crazy countries but that was one place i never did get to go that i wanted to go and i've wanted to go there ever since um the movie amadeus was made which again i was not a big fan of the way they portrayed mozart i thought it was kind of stupid uh know, try to portray him like a contemporary rock star. Just kind of.

But if you can kind of ignore that part of it, the central character, the rest of it was very interesting. And it was very interesting the way that it was beautifully filmed. Very interesting the way it was filmed. And so they, you know, they wanted to show the time very very accurately and they did a great job of that but they couldn't really show it so much in vienna they shot some things in vienna but a lot of the stuff that they shot they had to go to prague because vienna was destroyed just like you're saying there michael uh so many buildings in vienna historical buildings of the time at mozart were destroyed but there was still

a lot in prague and so there are places like that that i wanted to um to see because i like the architecture i like the buildings i never uh never got to see them uh but anyway on rockfin jason barker uh good to see you jason i hope you're feeling good here um we don't seek monsters to destroy anymore we create them yeah yeah exactly right again talking about uh john adams he said we don't go abroad seeking monsters to destroy jason says we we don't do that we create the monsters abroad and then of course we bring the tools that we use to fight those monsters abroad we bring them home as instruments of tyranny, as James Madison said. So in terms of let's talk the rest of the program here about Christmas, a lot of stuff about Christmas. And I had mentioned earlier in the week, I said, hey, if any of you know where I can find this guy who I knew his first name was Don don but i couldn't find him on youtube and i knew that uh

you know he had done a a i just come across it by accident years ago when i was doing the show at info wars and i could play licensed music there on the air i mean give it a try here um but um i found um his song and i really liked it it It was kind of a, a jazz version of, um, um, you know, jazz, uh, small jazz group version, not a big band jazz thing, but it's a small version of, um, have yourself a merry little Christmas. But what I liked about it and what I played on the show was the fact that they changed it from if the fates allow to if the lord allows i thought that was a great change it made all the difference in the world's one thing i always

kind of graded with me with that with that song you know that um the the secular songwriters who wrote that i think it was written uh for meet me in St. Louis. That's the first place I remember it being sung by Judy Garland. And so whoever was doing it for Hollywood wanted to get the Lord out. And it's like, so who are the fates that they're talking about? Now, whoever the fates are, they've got a will and a purpose, don't they? But we can't say that it's God. It's kind of like, you know, what Crick and Watson would say when they discovered DNA. Well, okay, can't be God. when they discovered DNA. Well, okay.

Can't be God. Can't be the God of the Bible. It's got to be like space aliens. Yeah, that's it. That's the ticket. It's panspermia, we'll call it. So space aliens came here. We know that DNA tells us that it's intelligent design, and we can't deny that.

It's very complicated code, air-detecting code, and all the rest of the stuff. But we can't say that it was god who did this so we'll invent something and that's what they did in hollywood for for that song if the fates allow i'll just give you a little bit of a sample of it but i like that and i asked people i said hey if you know where this is because i said i saw him when i spoke at gerald's occupyy Peace thing in 2021, but I said, I can't find the song. I wanted to play it.

And so thank you to Aaron who found this. He said, you mentioned on the Monday show, have yourself a merry little Christmas song that you couldn't find. Funny enough, I Shazammed that song on my iPhone years ago, and it's still on my list. And it's by Don Miller. And so here's Don Miller's Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas. And so I hope Don is doing well.

And whether he has found the show or not, some people did not find it. But here is the song, and thank you, Aaron, for sending it to me. From now on, our troubles will be miles away Here we are, hours on olden days, happy golden days of yore. Faithful friends who are dear to us, gather near to us once more Through the years we all will be together If the Lord allows What you saw there, that is Don. a loss thing together plays upright jazz bass um and he's a christian and a freedom lover so you know support don if you can find him don miller i got this email from a listener robert talking about

his daughter catherine 22 years old he says she's autistic by the age of seven, she would still not talk. Over those years, we went through five speech therapists at $300 an hour, but no progress. So I told the wife, that's it, we're done. I bought her a microphone and plugged in my guitar amp. He said I would make her sing along with the stereo. She had to overcome all this, and all I could do was just to pray and act like Sergeant Carter. He said, today she performs at Center Court at Lake Square Mall regularly, plus every other opportunity that we can get for her. She is no longer nonverbal, praise the Lord, and that was the goal. Also, she's been playing guitar for eight years. I insist on three hours a day practice

minimum. She attended private school grades four through 12 to be around kids of her age. She can read music. She has the ear and perfect pitch. She and my wife raise butterflies. He said, we plant the seed and God gives the increase. He makes it grow at the time of his choosing. I'm sure he's not done with her yet. So I continue to pray. And so he gave me that. And then he sent me a little clip of her singing and I'll play a brief part of that. Uh, this is Catherine singing old Holy Night. O night divine O night O night

divine O night Thank you and Merry Christmas Mr. Knight. Well Merry Christmas to you Catherine and to your dad and to your mom so yes we plant that's what culture is

it's cultivation God gives the increase but we plant plant, we water, we cultivate. And if we don't do that, we're not going to have a culture. This is also from another listener. He said, God bless. He said, X-mas means Christmas. He said, the X means Christ in the ancient Greek. He said, I believe it represents

the cross. And I have seen other people say that as well. I've heard one person preach a sermon on that. Other people, it depends on who's theirs. Other people will try to use it just to get rid of Christ. And I think that's the way many people look at it's just like you're trying to x out jesus out of history out of culture but i think that it is um you know uh there's an argument to be made for that historically anyway that it isn't just trying to purge religion that purge jesus more importantly out of everything but I also saw saw a meme where they had X musk picture on must because he's so infatuated with X so thank you Chris I just thought I'd pass that along and then this was sent to me by Alan who

it's actually the op-ed piece that I was talking about with Naomi Wolf. And, uh, she just wrote this, uh, Dr. Naomi Wolf. And again, as I said, she is, um, she in the past before she was activated by Trump's lockdown and also by the jab killing people. Uh, she was a liberal. I think she's a lesbian like Rosa Corey was.

And Rosa Corey was activated by finding out what was going on with this UN Agenda 20, which then became the Agenda 2030. And it was actually Agenda 21, I'm sorry. UN Agenda 21, about the 21st century. Then they made it more specific around 2015 they said yes 2000 2030 is what we're going to shoot for not just nebula sometime in the 21st century anyway that activated rosa corey who has passed on now uh but um uh dr naomi wolf says uh the thing is i remember christmas she said, I mean real Christmas.

She said, I was born in 1962. That means that by 1966 or 67 or so, I was aware that something magical happened to the world, at least in our world in America, in the middle of winter. By the time I was in kindergarten, I had some names for what was happening all around me at these wonderful times. I grasped the basic story outline. All at once, it seemed that drab interiors,

whether it's a grocery store with its beige linoleum flooring and its sad walls, or the institutional green halls of my elementary school, or the butcher shop window, which previously only had sausages and veal chops on bland display, the windows of the hardware store, which has till then showcased just unremarkable containers of grout and drill bits and cans of paint, indeed, even the intersections themselves of the road, which before then could not have been less interesting.

Suddenly, all these erupted in a three-dimensional froth of sparkle and shine and joyous images and radiant color. So do you remember all these displays? You know, we were watching The Bishop's Wife, the original one, the other day, and it opens up and everybody's looking at these department store windows. And Karen said, yeah, you know, you remember how that was? People go to such, in New York City especially, she lived on Long Island, so they were traveling to New York and had all these different stores with these really elaborate window displays. I don't know if that all got killed by Trump's lockdowns in 2020 or not, if that's still going. I knew that even in Tampa, which was pretty small at the time, not at all. Like it is today's my friend. They had one department store at Moss brothers and it was, um, a big department

store, like you'd find in a big city and several stories and escalators and all the rest of this stuff, and they had displays in the windows and there were no shopping centers in the urban areas. So we would drive and there was no interstate to get you downtown. So we'd drive like 40 minutes to go downtown. My mom would shop when I was very young. And I remember those displays. As a matter of fact, one year around Christmas time,

because it was Florida and kids didn't see snow, they brought in a truckload of snow for kids to play in. And they had an appearance by James Garner, who had a new TV show called Gunsmoke where he played Marshall Dillon. I don't remember meeting him. I remember the snow. But he was there.

My mom said he picked me up and she couldn't believe how tall he was. I mean, he was super tall. Before he became Marshall Dillon, he was in the original thing, thing was super tall. Before he became Marshall Dillon, he was in the original Thing, Thing from Another Planet. And they had him there in costume. They brought him in because he was so tall to play the monster in that science fiction movie.

But then they brought him down there. I don't remember anything about that except the snow. But they would do all kinds of crazy stuff around christmas time she said thus in a heartbeat you had giant smiling santa not a scary one not an ironic one not a drunk one just santa with the red cheeks and the big grin and the fully fluffy white beard you had waving fronds of yellow golden tinselsel, bright green tinsel. You had red tinsel that was always the color of a candy apple or a fire truck. You had gigantic sleigh bells, two of them always, friendly, collegial, tied with a plaid bow. You had cutouts of red sleighs piled with gifts.

She's a good writer. And then she says, and then there were creches. I loved them. I loved them, she emphasizes. These were also called, once upon a time, nativity scenes. And this is kind of where we get to the crux of what she's talking about here. She said creches abounded at Christmastime in the 1960s, yes, even in California. Now, I guess in California, they have Away With the Manger.

Away with that. Away with that. That'd probably be a top song if somebody were to write that. Away with the manger. Get it out of here. I don't want to have any of that stuff around here. Christmas World in the 1960s was also made transcendental by the sudden presence of Christmas carols everywhere. They were mostly religious, though I didn't think of them as religious Christmas carols,

but rather as Christmas carols, because the holiday itself was obviously religious. O come, all ye faithful, angels we have heard on high, joy to the world, we three kings of Orion are. The music was played everywhere with all kinds of instrumentation but you heard it in drug stores and department stores and the homes of your friends that elevated the mood the vibration if you will she says of everywhere all at once because all at once sacred thoughts were being thought by thousands of people going about their otherwise ordinary days. And there was everywhere that warm glow that you still feel sometimes in crowds on Valentine's Day or Mother's Day

as groups of humans together all think of someone they love. Also transformational was that the modern world that usually listened to 1960s music was listening to and even caroling and singing melodies and words from the 17th and 18th century. This gave a, in 19th century, she said, this gave a sense of otherness and of continuity and excitement to everything that was all around us since our history was rich and extended long into the past. Boy, they're trying to destroy that, aren't they? Ripping it out by the roots. That's what radicals do.

They get to the root. As you try to grow this culture, as you try to cultivate this culture, like you are cultivating and growing a plant, the radicals come along and try to rip it out by the root. That's what they do. And she's on to that game. Continue with what she had to say. Our history was rich and extended long into the past.

And since we were experiencing openings into the sounds of other times, whose worship and joys extended to that very day. But eventually, the nativity scenes and the nativity plays and the carols even became, controversial yeah because we have to push christ out of that uh in the 1960s through to the 1970s and into the early 1980s christmas movies still had messages about home and family and togetherness and redemption and things like

that and again you know gradually even as you're looking as she starts to and things like that. And again, gradually, even as you're looking, she starts to describe things like that and the movies, Charlie Brown Christmas and things like that. And there's a strong current, as I pointed out before, of nostalgia throughout Christmas music. And there's nothing wrong with that. And there's nothing wrong with having a good time. And there's nothing wrong with any of this stuff per se until that becomes the thing.

Until that becomes the only thing. She said, I noticed in the 1980s when I was a young college and graduate student that Christmas still carried that high elevating energy, that sacred quality. But over time, I felt the Christmas spirit eroding and dying down. I noticed that the pop culture was adding a whole new cast of personalities to Christmas, exalting them while dialing down others. Peanuts, the cartoon series, had been openly spiritually oriented in its treatment of the season, a Charlie Brown Christmas that debuted in 1965. Remember, they talk about all the current stuff and everything but at the core of it they get down to lioness saying well i'll

tell you what christmas is about charlie brown he reads the account from luke but she said in the 1980s as it unfolded peanuts became less and less culturally central replaced by dr seuss's grinch who stole christmas uh 1966 that was a fairly new character but it started to get more and more attractions he said and then when you looked at what the lyrics were about she said um you know, the carol that they sing in Whoville, it almost sounds like it's Latin. Fahoo forez, dahoo dorez, welcome all who's far and near. Welcome Christmas, fahoo ramas, welcome Christmas, dahoo damas. She says, well, that's sweet, but it doesn't have any discernible meaning.

What about Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer? That had been a minor character launched in 1939 in a song, but now it became the central and super important character. You know, along with elves and an expanded 1823 poem, The Night Before Christmas, all this was building. And a lot of this was done, again, through the music. As the music became increasingly either nostalgic or focused on Santa and elves and Rudolph, all these characters and side narratives are fun, but they're not actually about Christmas, about the birth of the Christ child, she says. And then in 1989, an important lawsuit deconstructed Christmas and Hanukkah, for that matter, in America, it was a lawsuit. The County of Allegheny versus the ACLU, according to that organization's website. And they're very proud of that.

Two public-sponsored holiday displays in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania were challenged by the ACLU. The first display involved a Christian nativity scene inside the Allegheny County Courthouse. The second display was a large Hanukkah menorah erected each year by the Shabbat Jewish organization outside the City County building. The ACLU claimed that both displays constituted state endorsement of a religion. And the case was decided together with, you know, well, both of these different ones. They had two aspects of it, the menorah aspect and the nativity scene. She said, I was surprised to read this because in the yawning, ever-hungry abyss where national memories that don't fit the narrative go to die, the fact that the ACLU took aim at this famous case against the display of a public menorah,

as well as against a public Christian creche, has been utterly lost to history. Those who want to share their nativity scenes openly in public with their neighbors are depicted in this narrative as thug-like Christian white supremacists. It's been entirely erased from American history that the people of Allegheny got in trouble with the ACLU for inviting their Jewish neighbors to share with a larger community the joy, the pride, and the symbolism of their minority religion, Hanukkah. Indeed, this case that changed America is an odd one. As weirdly decided, she says, as Roe v. Wade. According to the ACLU, the central question of the case was whether or not the two displays, one, remember, was Christian and one was Jewish, whether these two displays violated the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment.

Court said that one symbol did and one did not. Isn't that interesting? In a 5-4 decision, the court held that the nativity scene inside the courthouse unmistakably endorsed Christianity in violation of the Establishment Clause. It had on it, Glory to God for the birth of Jesus Christ. The county, they said, sent a clear message with that, that it supported and promoted Christian orthodoxy. Six of the justices concluded that the display involving the menorah was constitutionally legitimate given its particular physical setting. She says, as a Jew, I find the reasoning in Allegheny versus the ACLU to be odd. How is it that a menorah outside the courthouse is not establishing religion, but a nativity scene inside the courthouse is?

Why not move both of them outside the courthouse and invite other religious displays? Well, here's the thing, and she does get this. There is a difference between establishment and exercise. And this is how they got it wrong. They equate the two. And the ACLU has done this over and over again. Free exercise religion is not establishment. We've had this victory in that case, as a matter of fact,

with Hal Shurtleff. They had a place where anybody could fly a flag, um, and a regulation for that. And he decided he would fly a Christian flag. And they said, nope, can't do it. Once they found out they approved it. And then once they saw, once he said, well, this is a Christian flag, they said, no, then you can't put it up. He took it to the Supreme court and he won. And so that's viewpoint discrimination. You're not endorsing this religion.

You're just giving him access to the same stuff that everybody else has. And so it's starting, our understanding of this is starting to turn around. But it all hinges, really, on understanding that to allow people to freely exercise their religion, like the coach who, after the game, would go to the 50-yard line and kneel and silently pray, allowing people to exercise their religion, even if it is on some sacred government property, which they think is sacred.

That is not an establishment. She says, is it China that is at war with our religious freedom, our freedom to worship? Is it China? Are they our enemies? Or is it, I don't know, maybe, you know, the American government? As we met the enemy and they as us, or more accurately, they as U.S. She said, I would say the people of Allegheny actually had it mostly right. She said, paradoxically, the people of Allegheny's openness to America's multiple free and open expression of worship is exactly what the Establishment Clause is meant to protect. Our Constitution does not say anywhere,

and certainly not in the Establishment Clause, that we have to hide symbols of our various religious expressions. It says just the opposite. And, you know, you see these groups that push this now. It's not just the ACLU. You've got a lot of groups that decided that they can make a lot of money doing this. And they do it. They make a lot of money with their lawsuits. There's one organization called the Freedom From Religion.

And you see them all over the place. But that's not what the First Amendment says. The First Amendment says the freedom from religion and you see them all over the place but that's not what the first amendment says first amendment says the freedom of religion makes all the difference in the world it's like the difference between a song that says away in the manger and a song that says away with the manger it is freedom of religion not from religion and they want to put religion in the closet they want to banish it entirely. She said, I remember the media coverage of this case. News weeklies reported it as if, thank God, the ACLU has finally saved America from being

ravished by screaming Bible thumpers. There was little questioning of what this decision would do to us or even if it was a correct interpretation by the court. So overnight, she said, it seemed to me people reacted understandably enough by scrubbing the religious expressions of the holidays. The playlists in Christmastime changed. All the religious carols vanished like melted snow. In came poppy, bouncy tunes that have become quote-unquote classics, but they are also not actually about Christmas. Things like Baby, It's Cold Outside made a big comeback from 1944.

I Saw Mama Kissing Santa Claus. Or Now We've Got as the number one hit rocking around the Christmas tree took it 65 years I think to get to number one but finally got there for Brenda Lee written by the way by the same Tin Pan Alley songwriter that wrote Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer or you got all I want for Christmas is Jesus no it's you it's you Mariah carey's uh the 1957 jingle bell rock by the way also written by the same songwriter um who wrote um rocking around the christmas tree or um rudolph rednose reindeer so that's about dancing right uh so you've got jack frost nipping at your nose a christmas song all these things winter nostalgia some of them about family a lot of them about reindeer and

elves and santa and everything but again moving christ out of it and so the daily mail reported in 2020 that half of britain schools had canceled nativity plays surely the breaking of the chain of memory among generations of british school children this breaking of the chain between generations of children was one goal of the trump lockdowns and she doesn't put trump in there i always put trump in there with the lockdowns because that was his policy well it wasn't his policy it was the world economic forum and the UN's policy, but he executed for them. She said, this is a point that I made generally in my book, The Bodies of Others. She said, alarmingly, when I searched Daily Mail and Nativity Plays No More, I saw stories

about schools banning nativity plays or barring parents from attending their own children's nativity plays. Go back to 2012. That's when they started doing this stuff. Not 2020, necessarily. It just picked up there. So there was a drumbeat of escalation in recent years. This is the drip, drip drip drip of water intentionally set to slowly boil

of deliberate cultural change yeah you do it from the inside you do it chaos and you do it iteratively as fauci said so of course you know where this is going because marxists do not like families just as they don't like religion schools Schools in England now ban parents from attending their own children's nativity plays due to colds, flus, and supposedly COVID. The state has finally taken your child and taken away Christmas. So what else debuted by the 20-teens? You had a range of new Christmas movies that depicted cherished Christmas symbols as tawdry, drunk, or sexually licentious.

Such as the 2014 film Bad Santa with Billy Bob Thornton. And she's got a picture of that there in the article of Billy Bob Thornton. And the picture that she put up was for their unrated version that they put out. There is 2022's It's a Wonderful Binge. A send up of Christmas classics. But in this

holiday movie, Saint Nick is inebriated and the setting is a world in which all alcohol is banned. So Christmas represents the one time to binge on intoxicants. Isn't that great? Well, you know, have you had enough? Think about this.

Think about what you can do to cultivate things that are good, things that are pure with your family. Think about what you can do to cultivate their relationship with Christ. Because liberty and family are great, and we've got a lot of songs and traditions and movies that celebrate those things. But those are simply the blessings. And we don't want to grab just the gift and forget the giver.

We don't want to look at the trappings of the blessings that God has given us and forget the source of those blessings. And that's one of the reasons why this is happening. You know, culture is downstream from religion, and religion is downstream from your relationship with God. that's where it really starts. So reflect on those blessings that we've lost and see if we can't turn this thing around at least for yourself and for your family. One of the things that I like to play every year is something from, it looks like it was a small family production company called shark bite productions i just came across it a few years ago and i used to oh i've been playing it you know when i was at infowars playing it

every year with this show as well um i looked to see if i could find them anywhere and they seem to have gone out of business even though the video is still there on YouTube. They said when they put it together, and again, there was an older guy who would, they did a video talking about their production company. And so they had some young kids and it's kind of some of the stuff that we used to do with our family. And, um, and they had an older guy and he had worked with the state of Bobby Darren. That's why they call it shark bite productions. And he had, uh, was putting together a lot of archives for their stuff and

managing it for them. And they decided that they wanted to do this, um, kind of a nostalgic production and feature Bobby Darren song, Christmas auld lang syne. And, um, they gave him the permission to do that. And, uh, so even so even though the production company, the family is no longer around, evidently, at least we still have the video. This is what it looks like.

And as I read to you all the different things that Naomi Wolf was talking about that she enjoyed, this is the family, the nostalgia that they really did a great job of capturing in this video. Ladies and gentlemen, here is Bobby Darin. When mistletoe and tinsel glow Paint a yuletide valentine Back home I go To those I know for a Christmas Oh, Lang Syne

And as we gather Round the tree Our voices all are combined In sweet accord To thank the Lord for a Christmas auld lang syne. When sleigh bells ring and choirs sing and the children's faces shine With each new toy

We share their joy With Christmas all anxiety We sing his praise this day of days And pray next year this time We'll all be near To share the cheer Of a Christmas auld lang syne Anxiety Merry Christmas everybody and a Happy New Year! In sweet accord we thank The Lord for our Christmas

For as I I. A. © BF-WATCH TV 2021 ORCHESTRA PLAYS You're listening to The David Knight Show. Oh, that's really nice. On Rockfin, Christy Ripperger says, thank you for the tip. Says, Merry Christmas to the Knight family and the Chatt family. I live close to Lake Square Mall and would like to see Catherine.

The website doesn't show her in upcoming events. Any info for the future concerts would be appreciated. Well, hopefully her parents hear this and maybe they can tell us about that. People are talking about how difficult housing has become and how expensive it has become. You got Babylon Bee, that's this gingerbread house in California

listed on Zillow for $1.9 million dollars it's very much like the house i was describing the other day back in the 80s it was under one and a half million or something like that this custom-built gingerbread house as they describe it on zillow is truly one of a kind featuring frosted windows well-established icing trees, and gumdrop roofline. You will feel the upscale nature of the gingerbread home from the moment you see it. Welcome to your next home. Sources report that over a dozen offers have already been made, including from local newlyweds. We've been desperately waiting for a more affordable home to come on the market, he said,

but we're still trying to negotiate a couple of things like, you know, cleaning up the icing drips on the window sills. But this is the best option that we've seen in LA for years. That's pretty true. $1.9 million gingerbread house. And then there's this article from Zero Hedge, rocking around the plastic tree. This is another one of the traditions that seems to have gone by the wayside you know it used to be uh that was something that even when i lived in tampa that was you know as hot as it was there we would get christmas trees real christmas trees every year and that's a big part of it we always enjoyed it's a big part of a lot of the the christmas movies you know like christmas vacation or christmas Story, going to Christmas tree lots or in the extreme case for comedy, I think some people would go out to the Christmas tree farms and get it.

But, you know, Christmas Vacation. Around here, you know, we looked last year because I thought it'd be nice to get something because I love the way they smell. But I didn't see anywhere around here where they were selling them. I guess there is somewhere. We used to get them from Western North Carolina. That's where they used to bring them down from, to Tampa. And it was always, we'd go around our thing in Florida because it was always so hot.

You'd make the people, the guy who's showing you around trying to sell you the Christmas tree, would have to open the thing up and bang the trunk on the ground and see if all the needles would stay on. See if it was not dead yet. And that was a prerequisite to actually buying the thing. But yeah, Karen and I, our first, uh, first house,

our first Christmas tree. Uh, we both wanted it really badly and it was super expensive for us in Houston, but we got this big tall tree because we had a, we had a small house. Um, it was probably about 1300 square feet or 14. I was just the two of us and it had a vaulteded ceiling and, um, in the, in the living room, but the living room was very small in spite of the fact that it had a 20 foot ceiling.

But, you know, we looked at this thing. It's like, Oh, we got a 20 foot. So we can get a really tall tree. We got a really tall tree, really tall tree that we could not have fit in the houses of our parents. And so, but when we opened it up, even though it wasn't a really fat tree, it filled up the entire room and we could not sit in our couch. It just opens up into everything.

It was a joke. Everybody was laughing at us when they came over to the house, couldn't see the TV set. It was crazy. And of course, by the time we took it down, it didn't have a single needle left on it. And I had to cut that thing up with a chainsaw in the living room to get it out of the house because the limbs then were very, very stiff. But right now, you know, it looks like, um, and again, I don't see any evidence of christmas tree lots around here um so most people are going plastic now uh fitting

epithet isn't it um that not to say that the the you know the plastic trees are fine but um it is something that has uh gone away and then of course there's the tradition of the nutcracker jeffrey tucker at um brownstone wrote an op-ed piece about this about the nutcracker jeffrey tucker at um brownstone wrote an op-ed piece about this about the nutcracker and you know it is uh at the same time that it is something of a tradition and i like the music and i've got a couple of songs from a nutcracker in the album that i put in you know the the russian dance that i modified and then the uh the sugar fairy, which I just basically did it the way it was done and did abbreviated version of it. But I liked what,

um, this acapella group straight, no chaser did about the nutcracker. Uh, they, they did a parody of it from a, a man's perspective about how much he dreads the annual occurrence of this ballet here's a little bit of what they did

but there's one lousy tradition there's a certain show that you will see many would agree it is time to find another show to solve the two-door cracker i'm watching the game but something's wrong staring is my wife her face looks long i know that look it must be me it's not our anniversary i shrug no clue what did i do she stands in disbelief what this? This holiday scene. Yeah, that pretty much sums it up from our perspective. Yeah, I like the music so much, and occasionally you forget just how cringy ballets are. When we, first Christmas, after we brought our daughter back, we took her to Build-A- a bear and let her build a bear

and got her all dressed up and we got all dressed up. And Karen and I, because the boys knew better than to go, knew better than me to go to the Nutcracker. And we took her to the Nutcracker. And she's looking at it like, this place is really strange. Even she thought it was really strange. But Jeffrey Tucker, in terms of talking about he says this uh most implausible american tradition you can imagine bringing russia straight to your

hometown along with the men in tights it's no wonder why the music is brilliant elegant and vaguely familiar to everyone it's now out of copyright uh the melodies are filled with magic fantasy mystery love strange sounds and you never otherwise that you never otherwise hear and an unrelenting spectacle no matter how classical old world ballet is it never ceases to amaze us to watch this highly specialized combination of athleticism and art in action well he lost me there me there, but you know, I do like the music. Anyway, he says, but think about this. This ballet debuted in 1892. The generation of Russians living in St. Petersburg that saw it for the first time was experiencing

a level of prosperity that had never before been seen in history. And it was the same all over Europe, of which Russia was then considered to be a part. This was a time of the full maturation of the Industrial Revolution. Income was growing and growing dramatically. Lives were longer. Infant mortality was plummeting. The middle class could live in security and in comfortable homes. The practical arts, and then things like electricity lighting telephones universal

medicine indoor plumbing these were in a boom phase and so he says you see hints of all these things in the opening scenes of the nutcracker you're in a home with beautifully lit tree the several generations of extended family which we don't have anymore for the most part we have the nuclear family but not the extended family they're celebrating don't have anymore for the most part. We have the nuclear family, but not the extended family. They're celebrating the great season with abundant gifts and symbols of abundance. Think of the person of the Nutcracker himself. He's a soldier, but not a killer. He's not a person who's destined for being maimed and killed or for slaughtering others.

A soldier in those days was a symbol of the nation, a protector, a well-dressed person of discipline and dignity who made the peace possible. He was an extension of regular society, someone who was performing a light duty deserving of extra respect. Well, he really nailed it there. Jeffrey Tucker really nailed it there. Think about that. A time began to emerge, though, that has haunted me ever since. A theme, rather, began to emerge.

He says, what do all these works that we see done in the 1800s, what do they all have in common? He says, once you see it, you can't unsee it in literature. He said, none of these writers, and this goes for Tchaikovsky himself, could have imagined the horror that was going to be unleashed again, going back to the First World War. He said, the killing fields, 38 million people ended up dead, wounded, missing. That was inconceivable. The concept of a total war

that did not exclude civilian population, but rather made everyone a part of the army was not in their field of vision. Many historians describe World War I as a calamity that no one in particular intended. It was a result of states that were pushing out the boundaries of their belligerence and their power, a consequence of leaders who imagined that the more they pushed, the more they could create a globe of justice, freedom, and peace. But look at the reality. Look at the mess they made. It was not only the direct carnage. It was the ghastly possibilities that this war opened up. It inaugurated a century of central planning, statism, communism, fascism, and war.

How could they have known? Nothing like this had ever happened. And you know, when you look at this, you have to think, are we on the cusp of something like this? I have a feeling that we are, quite frankly. We should be concerned about it. We should plan for it. We should pray about it.

We don't have to fear it if we are Christians. That's the gift that Christ has given to us. But think about how their society was radically altered by these wars. And think about what these people in the Pentagon, same people who want to put their weapons facilities in Ukraine, because we can never have enough weapons being built to kill people. They're now on the path to creating autonomous killer robots, autonomous killer drones, and who knows what in terms of biological and chemical warfare, not even to mention the nuclear warfare. And so we may be in this particular situation, this fourth turning, this is a situation where we need to be aware and we need to strengthen the foundations and the principles that are going to help

us to have an orderly, peaceful, and a Christian society. Because if we don't, it is all going to get swept away in a moment, just as they did there. Well, before we run out of time, I want to play for you another tradition that we have, and that is the story about the creation of the Federal Reserve. Tony and I talked about this a little bit yesterday. It's a wonderful lie. I thought it was very interesting, the connections between the creation of the Federal Reserve. If you look at the way they engineered the banking runs and other things like that to create the Federal

Reserve and the way the villain who they patterned after J.P. Morgan in the story, the way he tries to engineer runs to drive his competitor out of business. And so I talked about that. And so I've mentioned before, when I did this 10 years ago, the 100th anniversary of what they pushed together on that December the 23rd, tomorrow will be the 110th anniversary of that. As many people who were opposing it, who did not want it, were out, they snuck that thing in. And the Federal Reserve has been sneaking things to our detriment ever since. Again, one of the ways that you can prepare for the machinations and the Federal Reserve has been sneaking things to our detriment ever since. Again, one of the ways that you can prepare for the machinations and the deprivations of the fiat currency. The David Knight Gold will take you to Tony Arderman's Wise Wolf Gold,

and we really do appreciate Tony's support and friendship, and he'll be here next week, some along with Gard Goldsmith. But here's the first thing that ever got censored on Infowars. It was in 2013, and it didn't get any more censorship until 2018 where they purged everything. But here's what they didn't want you to think about with the Federal Reserve for some reason on YouTube. Over the last 100 years, the Federal Reserve has created bubbles and burst them, enslaved us with debt, and destroyed our purchasing power through inflation.

Yes, it's been a wonderful lie for the bankers. There are striking parallels in Frank Capra's It's a Wonderful Life to the lies and tricks that real bankers used to create the Federal Reserve. Human nature doesn't change, and the greedy elite of 1913 and 2013 look and act a lot like Potter, the banker in the movie. And many Americans are left like George Bailey, staring into the abyss as their dreams collapse and they face financial ruin. Do we live in a country that looks a lot more like Pottersville than Bedford Falls? What does Frank Capra's film show us about how we got here and how we can get out?

When the Federal Reserve was created two days before Christmas 100 years ago, it was a culmination of six years of fraud, fear, and manipulation. I've never really seen one, but that's got all the earmarks of being a run. The Panic of 1907 was used to shape public support for the Fed. The panic was triggered by rumors that two major banks were about to become insolvent, just as we see in the movie.

George, there is a rumor around town that you've closed your doors. Is that true? I am going all out to help in this crisis. I have just guaranteed the banks sufficient funds to meet their needs. They will close up for a week and then reopen. Just took over the bank sufficient funds to meet their needs. They will close up for a week and then reopen. Just took over the bank. I may lose a fortune, but I am willing to guarantee your people too. Just tell them to bring their shares over here and I will pay 50 cents on the dollar. Oh, you never miss a trick, do you, Potter? Unfortunately, J.P. Morgan got away with the deception and was able to shut down competitors and snapped up assets at fire cell prices.

Now, take during the Depression, for instance. You and I were the only ones that kept our heads. You saved the building and loan. I saved all the rest. Yes, well, most people say you stole all the rest. The envious ones, say they there, George? The suckers. Charles Lindbergh Sr. warned people at the time of the creation of the Federal Reserve that it would not stop boom and bust cycles,

but would actually create them in order to benefit its private owners. Here's what he said. To cause high prices, all the Federal Reserve Board will do will be to lower the re-discount rate, producing an expansion of credit and a rising stock market. Then, when businessmen are adjusted to these conditions, it can check prosperity in mid-career by arbitrarily raising the rate of interest. It can cause a pendulum of a rising and falling market to swing gently back and forth or cause violent fluctuations by a greater rate variation. And in either case, it will possess inside

information as to the financial conditions and advance knowledge of the coming change, either up or down. This is the strangest, most dangerous advantage ever placed in the hands of a special privileged class by any government that ever existed. The system is private, conducted for the sole purpose of obtaining the greatest possible profits from the use of other people's money. They know in advance when to create panics to their advantage and they know when to stop panic. Inflation and deflation work equally well for them when they control the finance. As we see in the movie, not all lending institutions have the same motivations. Now you take this loan here, Ernie Bishop,

you know, that fellow that sits around all day on his brains in his taxi, you know. I happen to know the bank turned down this loan. But he comes here, and we're building him a house worth $5,000. Why? Well, I handled that, Mr. Potter. You have all the papers there, his salary, insurance. I can personally vouch for his character. Friend of yours? that, Mr. Potter. You have all the papers there, his salary, insurance. I can personally vouch for his character. Friend of yours?

Yes, sir. You see, if you shoot pool with some employee here, you can come and borrow money. What does that get us? A discontented, lazy rabble instead of a thrifty working class. As a former FDIC chair said, all too often the large banks use their models and their algorithms, and if you don't fit in their boxes, you don't get the loan. And Dodd-Frank legislation is tying the hands of small lenders, shutting out buyers and shutting down lenders. Today there are fewer lenders than at any time the government has kept records. 10,000 banks disappeared between 1984 and 2011.

This town needs this measly one-horse institution if only to have someplace where people can come without crawling the Potter. In the movie, George gets to see what happens to the small town if Potter didn't have competition from credit unions and smaller lenders. If it hadn't been for you... Yeah, if it hadn't been for me, everybody would be a lot better off. My wife and my kids and my friends. Look, little fella, why don't you go off and haunt somebody else?

Yeah, so you still think killing yourself would make everyone feel happier, eh? Oh, I don't know. I guess you're right. It's supposed to have been better if I'd never been born at all. Pottersville, the only businesses thriving are vice. People are angry. The town is filled with signs like keep moving keep off the grass burt the cop actually shoots at george when he's running away and is no threat to anyone stand back everyone is a renter no one has a stake now you're arnie bishop and you live in Bailey Park with your wife and kid. Look, Bud, what's the idea? I live in a shack in Pottersville.

My wife ran away three years ago and took the kid and I ain't never seen you before in my life, see? Private property and everyone having a stake is the antidote to Pottersville. You're all businessmen here. Doesn't make them better citizens, doesn't make them better customers. But whether it's the Trans-Pacific Partnership or a global carbon tax, the global elite don't see you as a stakeholder. They want to turn us all into serfs and treat us like cattle. Just remember this, Mr. Potter, that this rabble you're talking about, they do most of the working and paying and living and dying in this community.

Well, is it too much to have them work and pay and live and die in a couple of decent rooms and a bath? Anyway, my father didn't think so. People were human beings to him, but to you, a warped, frustrated old man, they're cattle. Well, in my book, he died a much richer man than you'll ever be. I'm not interested in your book. I'm talking about the building and loan. I know very well what you're talking about. You're talking about something you can't get your fingers on. Speaking of riches, do you find the salary amounts amusing when Potter tries to buy George off? Let's look at your side. Young man, 27, 28, married, make me say 40 a week. 45.

45. 45. George, I'll start you out at $20,000 a year. $20,000 a year? You wouldn't mind living in the nicest house in town? Buying your wife a lot of fine clothes? A couple of business trips to New York a year? Maybe once in a while Europe.

You wouldn't mind that, would you, Jones? Would I? Even if George had saved a lot of his $20,000 salary, would it have bought much a couple of decades later? By even the government's very conservative estimate of inflation, the dollar has lost 90% of its value since 1947 when the movie was made. The Fed's deliberate inflation is devastating to anyone trying to accumulate wealth through hard work and saving. So what is the answer to all the George Bailey's out there a hundred years after the government gave control of our money supply to private bankers like Potter?

Well, Potter had more money than he could spend. But would any of you want to be Potter? You sit around here and you spin your little webs and you think the whole world revolves around you and your money. Well, it doesn't, Mr. Potter. In the whole vast configuration of things, I'd say you were nothing but a scurvy little spider. George Bailey finally sees how rich his own life is as he sees the fruits of relationship, honesty, and compassion. Hey! Merry Christmas, Mr. Potter!

Happy New Year to you! In jail! Go on home, they're waiting for you. And if the public can awaken to the lies of the Federal Reserve, if it could even be audited... Well, hello, Mr. Bank Examiner! It would be a huge step to breaking the chains that enslave all of us. But ultimately, it is God that changes minds and changes hearts. God hates oppression. It would be a huge step to breaking the chains that enslave all of us, but ultimately it

is God that changes minds and changes hearts. God hates oppression, and we can and should confidently pray that he will stop it. I owe everything to George Bailey. Help him, dear father. Joseph, Jesus, and Mary, help my friend, Mr. Bailey. Help my son, George, tonight. He never thinks about himself, God. That's why he's in trouble. George is a good guy. Give him a break, God.

I love him, dear Lord. Watch over him tonight. Please, God, something's the matter with Daddy. Please bring Daddy back. Dear Father in Heaven, I'm not a praying man, but if you're up there and you can hear me... For old and time, my dear, for old and time, We'll take the cross from time and time. For old and time. We'll take the cross from time and time. Well, that was 10 years ago on the 100th anniversary of the Federal Reserve. Now they're 110 years old.

All the problems that we talked about have now gotten worse. As a matter of fact, the censorship has now gotten worse as i said they claim they took the video down because they claimed a copyright infringement but of course where did i get those few clips that i used protected under fair use i got them from the full movie that had been up for a decade had a million views at the time for free. This was before they paid anybody for anything, before they ran the ads. But, of course, I had their number, didn't I? I had the number of these people and what the system was there.

And, of course, they got my number as well. They censor me now. I can't even put up Christmas songs. My Christmas album got taken down they banned me instantly but that's fine i really do appreciate uh the people who have stood with us i cannot tell you how grateful we are comment here from uh little john who says uh this goes out to karen because she's from new york the yule log on tv i think it was channel 11 i don't know what channel it was but i know that karen has mentioned this in the past to me so i know that that she will remember that and on rock fan

andromeda thank you very much for the tip. Merry Christmas, they say. Well, Merry Christmas to all of you. And again, since we are taking the week off next week, and have a happy new year. We hope that this new year will be happy. Maybe that's not the right word. Maybe we need to use the word joyful new year. Happiness is dependent on circumstances, and none of us know what the circumstances are going to be. But if we have

a connection to Christ, the reason for this season, then we can have joy even under the worst of circumstances. So I'm going to close, and we'll go out with another favorite of mine. I just played just a little bit of it. Kenny Rogers, Till the Season Comes Round Again. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year's to you all.
