Starting point is 00:01:42 You're listening to The David Knight Show. As the clock strikes 13, it's Wednesday, the 22nd of November, year of our Lord, 2023. Well, today we're going to begin with some serious news. I find it interesting that now as people are getting very old, it's been 60 years since the assassination of JFK. And so people are starting to talk about this and tell what they really saw. We've now got some doctors who are coming out and talking about this. And so we're going to look at that. We're going to look at lawsuits are beginning for troops
Starting point is 00:02:42 who have been used by our government and abused and kicked out also i would uh it's such a sad story about one of the troops in afghanistan he was told and ordered to leave his gear behind and when he did now as he's leaving the army they're going to charge him for the gear that was left behind even though he was ordered to do so so stay with us we'll be right back we're going to begin with news we've got some fun stuff today too as well so stay with us you know we're going to be talking about some fun stuff we'll be talking about thanksgiving we've actually got a black friday sale i're going to be talking about some fun stuff. We'll be talking about Thanksgiving. We've actually got a Black Friday sale. I'm going to push some merchandise on you today.
Starting point is 00:03:33 Let's begin with a letter, a serious letter from listener John. And it's very well written. And I want to read the entire thing to you. It's very good. He says, I'm pending this letter today to ask a favor of you and your audience. If you recall, I sent a letter back in June about all the connections you'd helped me form to equip myself for the road forward. One of the main strategies my focus, my energy on is local politics,
Starting point is 00:04:00 and I've been watching national politics since 2014. Only after I was affected at the ground level by the COVID lockdowns did I really dig in my heels locally. COVID policy then gave way to climate hysteria, as you predicted, and I was still angry enough to start digesting the volumes of planning documents put out by my regional planners. Added to the existing federal transportation budget were $450 billion in funds from the IRA and IIJA earmarked for local planners to implement the UN climate goals. He's also read Rosa Corey's book, Rosa's No Longer With Us, Behind the Green Mask.
Starting point is 00:04:45 He said it provided a template for their Marxist maneuvering. As a matter of fact, let me just interject here. Rosa Corey was a left-wing Democrat lesbian who said, I was awakened by this planning stuff. She said, I was an environmentalist, but then when I went to these meetings, I realized what they were trying to do was enslave us. And she wrote that book, Behind the Green Mask. I've had the honor of interviewing her a couple of times. Like I said, she has passed away recently. Excellent book. Excellent book. Anyway, this helped me identify the players and the markers to strategize a fight and recruit concerned allies to join the crusade for our liberty. Since then, I've gone on to inform local residents and elected officials alike to the dangers of these extreme climate policies.
Starting point is 00:05:34 He realized that the fight is at the local level. He educated himself about the globalist plans. And now he's going back to the local level. He says, as a laborer with no formal education outside of high school, compelling the public on matters like this was a difficult and delicate feat. Ironically, I believe my obvious discomfort in public speaking was the thing that earned me the benefit of the doubt. See, that's the thing.
Starting point is 00:06:02 He knows what he's talking about and he doesn't obfuscate it with a bunch of um you know uh multi-syllabic words if he'd been and and if he had been educated and in college he would have thought he already knew everything for the most part and um so you know this is actually works to his advantage. But look, this is the key thing. You know, the subject is in need of prayer. And so, and he just sent this out. He didn't put the date of this meeting that's coming up that he wants us to pray about. But here's the thing.
Starting point is 00:06:39 You know, we should understand, as Christians, we look at uh and this is something that has been a real personal thing for me too i was not comfortable getting in front of the camera either i'm still not comfortable speaking in person to people um in a large crowd uh i've done that a couple of times um you know thousands of people um but, you know, I remembered the story where God visits Moses and tells him, this is what you're going to do. And he says, I can't do that. I'm not a good speaker. And, you know, he refuses. And so then God says, all right, I'll have Aaron do it for you. You don't want to be that guy. You need to understand that God is going to equip you to do what he calls you to do. And that's what he has found out, that what he might have had in terms of formal education
Starting point is 00:07:34 actually helped his credibility with people. And he knew what he was talking about. He may not have had a formal education, but he was more educated on what was going on than 99% or 100% of the people that he was talking to. And the key thing is that he had something important to tell them. That's the key thing. You got to have something important to tell people or just keep quiet. So anyway, so he says, since my early days trying to find my footing, I've grown as a speaker and as a man. He said, I have challenged the powers that be on their terms and in their arena and have successfully won me the hearts and minds of those in attendance. And you're never going to get everybody convinced. And you're always going to have people get angry and continue to disagree with you.
Starting point is 00:08:23 But there will be people who will hear. And that's what this is about. So he says, this brings me to my prayer request. I've been asked by my local officials to serve in their absence at an upcoming regional climate change meeting. This meeting will be attended by mayors, council people,
Starting point is 00:08:42 commissioners from my five-county area. I will be the lone voice in opposition of this death sentence against some of the most powerful individuals in my world. One of the men in attendance literally signs my paycheck. As a provider for my young family, I'm risking my livelihood for this matter, just as I did in my refusal to get the jab. I'm doing this because I believe in the liberties bestowed upon us by our Creator. Because like you always say, this battle isn't won by fighting or screeching. It's won by rational, compelling conversations that resonate within the hearts and the minds of the uncertain, the confused, and the ill-informed.
Starting point is 00:09:26 More than ever, I need the prayers of my fellow man to give me the gift of clarity, honesty, compassion, and strength to help me fulfill the mission God has sent me on. Well, there you go, and that's John, if you want to pray for him. I pray that God will give him all that. And we can see that God has already equipped him with a great deal of that already. And we know that even though he may be the lone voice in opposition in this group of people, there may be people who know in this that this is fraud.
Starting point is 00:09:59 And they're afraid to speak up because they think they're the only ones. And once they see somebody else who is there, who has the courage to speak up and to point out that the emperor has no clothes, but the emperor is trying to put chains on our feet and hands, they might speak up as well. So pray for John. I don't know when this meeting is coming up, but God has already done a great deal to work in his life to get him to tackle this assignment. As I said at the beginning of the show, people are getting at the end of their life, and they want to come clean about this JFK assassination thing.
Starting point is 00:10:36 We see this happening more frequently as well with 9-11. I played for you the other day a fire chief, a former fire chief in New York, who says, yeah, this just was not possible. He's retired, and now he's speaking out. And that's the key. It's important for people to speak out, but we need to understand that so often, I talk to law enforcement against prohibition, uh, people, uh,
Starting point is 00:11:06 people from that organization is called leap L E a P and it's a lot of judges and police officers and DEA agents and all these other people who are now speaking out against the failed war of drugs on American and Americans everywhere. And, uh, but the key operative here is that they're almost all retired because they know that it'll cost them their job. And most of them are going to keep quiet about it until they retire, but I'm glad that they're speaking out better late than never. And so now we have doctors who are speaking out. And just as John is looking at this and wondering, you know, if he's going to be the only one. It wasn't, but just a couple of months ago.
Starting point is 00:11:50 I think it was back in September. It's here in the article. We'll get to it here in a second. But I think it's back in September that you had the Secret Service agent that was in the car. Speaking out about this. He says, I don't believe this. And talking about the bullet that he found and that type of thing. you know for 60 years no speaking about that and then uh he spoke about it and now within a couple of months you've got a bunch of doctors who are speaking out and that's the way
Starting point is 00:12:19 this thing is going to roll out uh once somebody stands up it's kind of like uh uh the end of spartacus right who is spartacus which one of you is spartacus show us spartacus and we'll let the rest of you live and one guy stands up who's not spartacus and says i am spartacus and another and another and another that's the way we take this down you You have to not be afraid of them. So he said on the article, several doctors were in the emergency room when former President JFK was assassinated in 1963, 60 years ago. These guys are in their 80s at least. Late 80s probably. Raised serious doubts about the official narrative that says a gunman was responsible according to a new documentary uh now this is these were interviews
Starting point is 00:13:11 that were filmed 10 years ago on the 50th anniversary back in 2013 coming up on the 23rd so it's coming up tomorrow on thanks Day and I remember when it happened I was only eight years old and the I remember it was all anybody talked about you know that Thanksgiving that and I don't I was very young and I just remember the images I don't remember the sequence of the time but I think the the murder of Oswald happened about that time as well next day or something i don't know how that fell with thanksgiving but i know that all the adults were talking about it and i know that none of them believed it that it was a lone gunman and of course the assassination of oswald sealed it for them uh but um anyway uh going back to this
Starting point is 00:14:03 the federal warren Commission established that two shots fired by lone gunman Lee Harvey Oswald, located on the sixth floor of the Texas school depository, struck Kennedy from behind as he was traveling in a motorcade in Dallas. One of the bullets entered his upper back, exited near his larynx, while the second bullet entered the right side of his head and
Starting point is 00:14:25 exited via his forehead former president was breathing when he entered parkland hospital before he was pronounced dead a half hour later however what seven doctors said in recent footage disputes the commission's claims about the event jacqueline lewis executive of pronouncing her name it's l-u-e-t-h uh executive producer of jfk what the doctors saw interviewed the seven parkland doctors for their doc for her documentary she wrote for cbs news last week that the doctors quote recollection recollections were precise and clear as if the intervening decades had melted away well you know that's not the type of thing that you forget you know you may be kind of jaded in the emergency room the stuff that's coming in but when it's the president of the united states coming in you
Starting point is 00:15:16 better believe they're going to remember every detail of that thing and um you know it is um anyway uh each of them reacted strongly when the autopsy pictures were projected on a screen, she said. They didn't agree with everything, but it became obvious that the way the president looked at Parkland did not match the autopsy photos taken at Bethesda, even before the official autopsy began. She added that the Parkland doctors, quote, had no agenda other than trying to save the president's life.
Starting point is 00:15:46 But she stipulated that those who witnessed the wound to the president's neck believed that it was an entrance wound, which would dispute the Warren Commission's findings. Several of them saw a gaping hole in the back of JFK's head. And of course, we know how this operates, right? When you shoot something, the entrance wound is going to be small. The exit wound is going to be big. And so it entered from the front into his neck and then blew out the back of his head. In one of the clips from the documentary,
Starting point is 00:16:21 several of the doctors recalled what was said by Dr. Malcolm Perry, the surgeon who attended to President Kennedy, and he also attended Oswald. So at the press conference, Dr. Perry, in describing the throat wound here, said that he thought it looked like an entrance wound, said Dr. Robert McClellan in the video of the documentary that was released this month. So we were thinking there were two wounds. There had to be an entrance wound and an exit wound, and that was the only way that we could put it together. And so I thought it was
Starting point is 00:16:50 an entrance wound, said Dr. Ronald Jones, another Parkland doctor. But later, Dr. McClellan recalled that he noticed something unusual after the press conference with Dr. Perry about the JFK assassination. He said when Dr. Perry left the room, someone came up to him who Dr. Perry thought maybe was a secret service man. And he told Dr. Perry, you must never, ever say that was an entrance wound again. If you know what's good for you. Dr. McClellan, who died at age 89 in 2019, said he believed that, quote, in all probability, there was a conspiracy. In other words, there was more than one shooter.
Starting point is 00:17:43 And of course, the CIA, the FBI coined the term conspiracy theory. And they've been using it as a pejorative against anybody that disagrees with the government narrative. Because you see, the government, the FBI, has always been a criminal conspiracy against the American people. Let me say that again. The FBI is a criminal conspiracy against the American people. You can see it over and over again. Whether you're talking about the JFK assassination or Flight 800, they confiscate evidence, they hide it. Look at what they're doing now with January the 6th.
Starting point is 00:18:15 For the longest time, conservatives have cheered the FBI. And I've talked to, I think the guy was a very honest FBI agent who said, I just, you know, this whole thing is just after 9-11, the agency changed. Well, that is true. They got a lot worse, didn't they? But they've always been bad. You know, look at how they were, you know, it was the private Stasi army of J. Edgar Hoover, one of the most corrupt people in the history of American government. His name is still on the building of course they're going to spend billions tens of billions to move them somewhere else because
Starting point is 00:18:52 they got to get a bigger building like all these bureaucracies that continues to expand and one of the things is that it has expanded from focusing on the left and on communists it is now flipped it's now pushing a communist agenda on us the fbi is and conservatives just can't get their head around that they can't get their head around this communist agenda of dei diversity equity inclusivity the struggle sessions that are being put on us as As Sheevan Fleet said in her book, Mal's America, you understand, you need to understand that the FBI is a criminal organization.
Starting point is 00:19:34 And there is no constitutional authority for them to even exist, but they've become a weaponized criminal organization. And the conservatives in Congress keep funding it. The conservatives, the grassroots level keep thinking this is some kind of new abnormality, whereas it's just that they've changed sides. They've always operated this way. They operated this way against the enemies of conservatives,
Starting point is 00:20:01 against the Marxists, but now they have become Marxists. The Marxists have marched through the institutions. They've taken over the FBI and this organization, which was always lawless and unconstitutional, but the conservatives didn't care as long as it was coming after the commies. And now it's coming after the conservatives because it's become commie. And so this whole idea of, you know, the label of conspiracy theorist, I wear that with pride as I wear the pejorative term anti-vaxxer with pride. I confess to being both of those. I proudly confess to being both of those.
Starting point is 00:20:39 And let me add, I'm anti-FBI and anti-government and anti-cia as well so uh you know do something with it uh adl southern poverty law center you've already done it uh anyway um if mr oswald was in the sixth floor depository how could he have been shot from the front then and so there was more than one assailant figured out the doctor. Another doctor, Joe Goldstreich, who was a med student at the time of the assassination, said, how could a gunshot from the rear peel the scalp from the front back? And then LBJ created the Warren Commission, because what they do is they have these hearings
Starting point is 00:21:24 and these commissions in order to cover up their lies. And so they don't actually do anything with it. You know, get the publicity. They cover up the lies. We've had commission after commission. They ever do anything? No. There's a big commission on COVID right now that's going on in the UK.
Starting point is 00:21:37 It's there to cover up what the government did to people during that lying pandemic. The revelations come as the former U.S. Secret Service agent went public for the first time in 60 years and appeared to refute the magic bullet theory. Paul Landis, who is now 88 years old, former agent, was only a few feet away from President Kennedy when he was shot and killed. He had been assigned to protect Jackie Kennedy. In an interview with the New York Times published September the 9th. That's it. September 9th. So here we are, you know, a couple months later,
Starting point is 00:22:08 this documentary is coming out. But a lot of these people went on record about a decade ago. Mr. Landis recalled hearing multiple gunshots at Dealey Plaza as he went behind President Kennedy's limousine, seeing the president moving forward after being shot in the head. After the assassination, Secret Service agent Mr. Landis recalled picking up what he called a near perfect condition bullet from the back seat of President Kennedy's limousine near where the president had been sitting. The former agent then transported the bullet to the hospital where Kennedy was taken and put on a stretcher to be examined. He believed that somebody might pocket the bullet, which he did not describe in detail, as a keepsake. He suggested that the reason investigators suspected
Starting point is 00:22:50 that a magic bullet struck the former president is because the bullet that Mr. Landis discovered was later found on a stretcher belonging to President Kennedy. It wasn't until the New York Times interview that Mr. Landis confirmed that it was he who found the bullet and placed it there. And it wasn't until 2014 that he realized that the location of the bullet's recovery that was cited by him was different than what was mentioned in the Warren Commission. Now, this is, again, why the time gap there from 63 to 2014? 51 years. As he said, they don't cover it in this article, but at the time, two months ago,
Starting point is 00:23:36 he was saying, I just couldn't deal with it. As a matter of fact, he left the Secret Service because he couldn't deal with it. He just had PTSD from it. He kept waking up and seeing the horror there, feeling the failure and all the rest of this stuff. So he had to get out. And he didn't want to see anything at all about JFK.
Starting point is 00:23:55 And so it wasn't like for another 50 years before he even looked at it again. And then when he did, it was like, wait a minute, that's wrong. That's one of the reasons why you don't have a statute of limitations on pedophiles. People go through horrible experiences. They can't really cope with it at first. And so he has been warned as well.
Starting point is 00:24:18 That same year, former Secret Service colleague Clint Hill warned him that he shouldn't speak out about what he saw that day. And if he did, there might be many ramifications, quote unquote, for Mr. Landis. You recall Mr. Hill saying, you know, Clint Hill has become something of a hero to the official narrative. But look, it's what we all knew. It's just that we're now seeing the documents come out. The same thing you see with the pandemic and the vaccine and all the rest of it. We knew this stuff all along.
Starting point is 00:24:48 You can put the pieces together and you can say, well, I don't know who it was that shot him from the front. And I don't even know if Oswald shot him from the back. I mean, I think one of the best summaries of the absurdity of it was in Full Metal Jacket. I've played that for you before. We have R. Lee Ermey in that Kubrick film. And he talks about Marines, a former Marine who was shooting people from the Texas Tower in Austin. And then he talks about Lee Harvey Oswald. And he goes, by the time you guys are finished with this class, you're going to be able to hit a small moving target this distance with a bolt action
Starting point is 00:25:28 single shot rifle and do it you know two or three times or whatever and uh and so it's like yeah that's uh that's really not likely is it um so uh that was kind of uh kubrick's kind of back doorway pointing out the absurdity of this. But of course, when we talk about the magic bullet, it was a young political assistant, Arlen Specter, who came up with that theory and pushed it to the Warren Commission about this bullet that kept changing directions and, you know, hitting Conley and hitting Kennedy and doing all this, you know. So and it was absolute total nonsense. That's why people laughed at it and called it the magic bullet theory. But Arlen Specter was richly rewarded for that. He had, you know, he was senator for life after that.
Starting point is 00:26:19 Up in Pennsylvania, I think he was where he's from. But yeah, he was richly rewarded by the establishment because we don't have elections and we haven't had elections for a long time. These people are handpicked to go in. And that's Spectre's testimony. This has been going on for a very, very long time. As a matter of fact, I love the headline for one of these articles about the election in Argentina. It's my favorite comment about the election in Argentina. It's my favorite comment about the election in Argentina. How did they count just a matter of hours by hand
Starting point is 00:26:53 all of these paper ballots and get a result? When we can't, with all of our voting machines and computers, get a result in these Democrat-controlled places for days. How did they do that? How did they do that? It's so much simpler if you're just counting instead of manipulating, isn't it? Well,
Starting point is 00:27:11 the NSA is promoting anti-white racism amongst employees. It's on a zero hedge. Actually, it's information that was obtained with a FOIA request, I think from the Daily Wire. And it was also reported by Epoch Times. Actually, it's the Epoch Times article that's on Zero Hedge. But yeah, they're promoting anti-white racism amongst employees.
Starting point is 00:27:39 White people are characterized as oppressive. See, here's this oppression Olympics that Jonathan Greenblatt was talking about, the ADL. Something that he's made a living at doing, working with Obama and then with the ADL. It's what the ADL is all about. It's what the Southern Poverty Law Center is all about. It's the oppression Olympics and how evil white people are.
Starting point is 00:28:01 It is not okay to be white. ADL agrees that it is not okay to be white. ADL agrees that it is not okay to be white. So the NSA's a copy of their diversity, equity, and inclusion glossary. Glossary. This is kind of like the leak of, and it doesn't say they got it with a FOIA request. It's like somebody leaked it to them. But it's kind of like the hacking of the CIA where they were able to get Vault 7,
Starting point is 00:28:32 which showed how they could hack into anything, anywhere, and pretend to be any country. We have a way of disguising ourselves to look like we are Russian or Chinese or North Korean or even other allies. And so this is kind of like that. It's kind of like the the code that they stole from the NSA and the CIA. They released that code to show how these people are hacking other people. This is how the NSA is hacking our society, considering the fact that these people are Orwellian Stasi-like spies, violating every aspect of the Constitution, spying on Mr. and Mrs. Verizon and everybody, keeping records on everybody.
Starting point is 00:29:39 This kind of institutional hatred, racism, and politicized weaponry is very concerning. It was published as recently as May of 2022. The glossary defines 327 social justice terms, explicitly promotes critical race theory and LGBT ideologies. It defines settler colonialism, settler colonialism, as enforcing codes of superiority, such as white supremacy. The examples that they use include white European occupation of land in what is now the United States, Spain's settlements throughout Latin America,
Starting point is 00:30:23 and the apartheid government established by white Europeans in South Africa. Note that they did not include Israel. Israel has now been added to the list by the leftist people calling them colonizers. Right. And essentially, as Victor Davis Hanson says, this weaponized stuff, much of it weaponized by Jewish organizations like ADL and Southern Poverty Law Center, this has now backfired on them. They are now identified as colonizers themselves. They're now identified as having white privilege.
Starting point is 00:30:59 Whoops. Whoops. Yeah, we thought we could throw somebody else out there, make them the boogeyman so we wouldn't be the boogeyman in society again. And now it's backfired on them. But this has not made it into the NSA's glossary yet. But it's made it into the Urban Dictionary. And it ain't coming out again.
Starting point is 00:31:20 And so maybe these organizations need to, and the Jews need to distance themselves from this stuff and stop applauding it and stop pushing it because it's going to be used against them. It was already being used against them. White fragility is defined as a state in which, quote, even a minimum amount of racial stress becomes intolerable, triggering a range of defensive moves in white people. You know, the amazing thing about this is that white people, conservatives, especially Southerners, have been able to laugh at themselves more than any other people group I've seen. You might be a redneck if, you know, we were the ones who liked that stuff, you know, all the redneck jokes.
Starting point is 00:32:06 Self-deprecation is not an indication of fragility, is it? And, you know, the story, I told somebody the story over the weekend, they'd not heard it, about how a couple of decades ago, when all this stuff about, you know, you can't have Indian mascots or Indian names for your teams and things like that. And, you know, growing up in Florida, as I said before, the junior high school, we were the warriors. In high school, we were the chiefs. And the drum majors had these big Indian headdresses and shirtless. And they put red makeup, they call it Texas dirt. They rubbed it all over their chest and face and arms and everything. And then put war paint on that. And it's like's like oh can you imagine how flipped out there'd be as a matter of fact there in tampa uh the mayor of tampa graduated from chamberlain
Starting point is 00:32:54 she was upset about the fact that they spent um it was over fifty thousand dollars i think to take down the big chief head and rebrand their mascot so this isn't necessary but they did it anyway you know because dei but decades ago there was um a guy who was um uh leading this uh it was on the cutting edge of all of this um let's just call it indian fragility indian fragility i mean they're so fragile that even when people put up a mascot to honor them, he can't handle that. And so he said, well, how would the white people feel? And so what he does is he comes up with a Fighting Whiteys mascot shirt. And, you know, it's like this 1950s archetypal white guy businessman with a suit and he's got a pipe and all the rest of the stuff. And he sold a gazillion copies of that that stuff white to white people who loved it uh so yeah it's not there's
Starting point is 00:33:49 not uh this white fragility instead what they want you to do is to people get upset when they start their little marxist struggle sessions where you have to be anti-racist which means you have to be anti-white you have to hate yourself and as i, I think this is a key thing and part of this trans shooter in Nashville. Hate your gender, hate your skin color, hate everything about yourself, and then wind up hating everybody else, which is what it was designed to do. Anyway, the NSA says a privileged group member, quote-unquote, and this is their glossary. What is a privileged group member?
Starting point is 00:34:23 That is going to be what is a privileged group member though that is going to be these are privileged groups whites men the owning class oh see the marxism here the owning class oh the next one uh the middle class oh what the marx is always called bourgeoisie right uh then you add um the new wrinkles that have been put in by the CIA in our country, because they are the ones who have been pushing this feminism and the deconstruction of art and culture. Heterosexuals, Gentiles, Gentiles. See, they thought they'd carved out an exception for the Jews, except now the people on the street, Black Lives Matter people, all the rest of them,
Starting point is 00:35:02 are saying, no, the Jews are white privileged. The Jews are colonizers. So heterosexuals, Gentiles, Christians, and non-disabled individuals. So you see the NSA with their DEI in their glossary. They are codifying and demanding discrimination based on skin color, based on gender, based on religion, based on sex, and the rest of this stuff. Now, that's the amazing thing about it is how these people have projected racism onto other people, and yet they codify it in their government documents. And you have organizations like Southern Poverty Law Center and the ADL who exist strictly by playing the race card as a bunch of racism Marxist pimps. And they project their hatred and their racism onto white people. And they make a very handsome living at it.
Starting point is 00:36:05 As a matter of fact, the Department of Defense, in terms of the amount of money that's being spent on this, in 2022, they spent $68 million on these DEI initiatives. And for fiscal 2023, it jumped from $68 million to 86 and a half million combined the total diversity funding for the years 2022 2023 2024 where they've been doing this has come up to 270 million dollars so you know when we um we look at how our government wastes money, it truly is amazing. Everybody talks about how we give the most money to Israel historically. And yet, the amount of money that the Biden administration is pushing this LGBT stuff globally is now more than they're giving to Israel. So, it's very, very important to them.
Starting point is 00:37:06 We're going to take a quick break, and when we come back, we're going to talk about the Finnish border. Maybe we could call it the Finnish line, I guess. And what does that tell us about our broken defense department and the fact that they're not doing anything. So we're going to take a quick break. And just to remind you that Christmas is coming up. I have done some new Christmas carols.
Starting point is 00:37:39 We're not ready to release it yet, but we are going to do a Christmas album. A lot of people have been asking about that. So here's one of the new songs and we'll be right back Thank you. You're listening to The David Knight Show. Interested in a curated list of the finest classical music? Find it now at APSradio.com. All right, welcome back. And I'll just mention, I said I'm going to be pushing some merchandise on you. We thought, well, you know, we've got merchandise merchandise this year and we got the black friday thing coming up
Starting point is 00:39:08 so let's tell people about this and and we have put on discount several different things one of them the tumbler uh is a 16 ounce koozie it's a double wall tumbler and uh it is only 16.99 and i really like this. Karen gave me the talking points here. Stainless steel outer and Triton plastic inner. Screw-on lid, leak-proof. 16-ounce capacity when filled to the rim. 15-ounce capacity with the lid on.
Starting point is 00:39:44 Keeps drinks hot or cold for hours. It is sweat proof my favorite thing which is not listed on this is the fact that it's got a rubber uh bottom to it so it is um no scratch and no noise so i like that a great deal and of course uh most important feature is it's got our show's logo on there uh so again um you can find that at the David night show.com. And we've got some other, uh, things that we put on black Friday sale that we'll be showing that to you. And all of these, uh, she's written very big here are while supplies last. Uh, so, um, that's, uh, been the, uh, Koozie Tumblr has been reduced to
Starting point is 00:40:23 1699 while supplies last. Let's talk about the Finnish line, the Finnish border. The Finnish military is now building a border wall. Why? Well, they're accusing the Russians of sending people in. And they're charging them with weaponizing immigration. Wait a minute. I thought that was a conspiracy theory. and they're charging them with weaponizing immigration. Wait a minute.
Starting point is 00:40:48 I thought that was a conspiracy theory. Like CIA assassination of JFK. Finland has lately accused Moscow of weaponizing migrants to create a crisis border crossings. Wow. Wow. But, you know, if you say that it's being done by Soros or if you say it's being done by the UN, oh, that can't possibly be true. You know, you need to be taken off of social media for saying something like that because you're obviously racist. You're worried about your white privilege.
Starting point is 00:41:19 Well, I mean, you know, the Finnish people are white and the Russians are white. But, you know, we do have our borders being weaponized in the same way. They only have an 830 mile border with Russia. It is also the external, the last of the European Union country's borders there with Russia. And so the EU president, Ursula von der Leyen, is very concerned about this, even though she's not concerned about the massive immigration weaponization coming in through the south, being brought there by NGOs, being funded by Soros and things like that, or any of these other places. But she said, along with the Finnish prime minister, uh, they condemned what they called
Starting point is 00:42:07 Russia's quote, instrumentalization of migrants, not weaponization, but instrumentalization. Uh, Ursula von der Leyen called it shameful. Well, you know, isn't that Putin something else? I mean, you know, he's, he's sending Russian immigrants in to the Finnish border. He must not like Finland. Well, what do we say about Biden then, right? Or Trump, when they don't do anything to protect our border. Even Ursula von der Leyen will jump on board with protecting this
Starting point is 00:42:43 when they realize that it's something that they don't want to have happen. I guess that means that Biden and Trump wanted it to happen because they did nothing about it. Trump did nothing about it for four years. Biden has done nothing about it for two years. So what are they suggesting? They said, well, we've had about 300 undocumented asylum seekers. I mean, these people could be legitimate refugees coming from Putin's evil Russia. Oh, but they don't care. And some
Starting point is 00:43:15 and only 300. Only 300. Not millions. In some instances, this has led to violence with border guards, having deployed riot control measures to keep migrant groups from breaching the border. Well, they don't have caravans that are coming with thousands of people in each of the caravans. Um, uh, you know, this is 300 people. Uh, but you know, our government only builds walls around D.C.
Starting point is 00:43:47 They only build walls around the Capitol. They only have a use force to protect the Capitol. The rest of the country can burn down. They call it mostly peaceful. The rest of the country can be invaded and they don't care. This is why we has met the enemy and they is not us, but they is us Pogo got that a little bit wrong. It is the U S government that us, the Finnish defense forces are helping the country's border guards construct
Starting point is 00:44:17 temporary fences on the Russian border. Why didn't Trump think of that? Why, you know, it's just too complicated to think about that, isn't it? I used to criticize him from day one to Alex Jones's consternation. I said, you know, you're president now. You said you're going to bring the troops home from the wars in Afghanistan, Iraq, and you could put them right there on the border. You don't have to get the permission of Congress. Oh, I'm going to have Mexico pay for it. He said he couldn't even get Congress to pay for it.
Starting point is 00:44:46 But he could. He was a commander-in-chief of the military. And you can deploy troops anywhere you want to. You could even deploy troops in your own country to protect your own border. Imagine that. If somebody pointed that out to the Trumpmeister, right, the guy who locked us down and who bragged about how he had locked everything down and he'd stopped travel across the border for the COVID pandemic, but he won't do it for the great replacement.
Starting point is 00:45:14 He'll only do it when it furthers the World Economic Forum's agenda on the great reset. So the Finnish prime minister last week went so far as to allege that migrants are actually being transported to the Finnish border with the help of Russian authorities. You know, like we know that Michael Jan has pointed out, all these Soros-funded organizations are doing that to us. It's clear these people are helped. And they're also being escorted or transported to the border by border guards and that is happening to us and then when they get to the border you have biden's border guards helping them further into the country isn't that interesting how that works so at the same time the eu is coming up with a digital identity wallet i I have not seen them use the excuse yet
Starting point is 00:46:06 that Republicans are using, that we all need to have identity numbers like DeSantis used E-Verify. We all need to have that because we can't control the borders. No, you won't control the borders. You create a problem so that you can push your solution of an ID number on us.
Starting point is 00:46:24 The EU's digital identity wallet is an electronic leash with which Brussels wants to control its citizens. There's a danger that the new Polish government may just wave through this oppression policy. The agreement between the European Parliament and the Council of the European Union on the EU digital identity wallet is open to abuse. It gives Brussels the ability to deny people rights. council of the european union on the eu digital identity wallet is open to abuse it gives brussels the ability to deny people rights it allows them to control them that's what this is all about all of the identification stuff and again bill gates has had for the longest time his plan that everybody
Starting point is 00:46:58 would get an id in 2020 when they kicked off the pandemic, right? He had an organization called ID 2020. And of course, he's got another one called IA 2030. So the ID was supposed to be rolled out in 2020, which they did. They rolled it out with their pandemic, essentially, and saying you're going to have to have your vaccine numbers and everything. Of course, it was the next year, 2021. But they began the process with a pandemic panic and then his ia 2030 is his immunization agenda so that in 2030 the slogan of the organization is everyone everywhere every age vaccinated that's what
Starting point is 00:47:42 he's up to that's what this is all about. And again, we go back and we look at the person who is the most anti-Semitic person on earth. Who is that? Is that Nick Fuentes? Is it Andrew Tate? Well, I would say that the most anti-Semitic person on earth is Netanyahu because he's killed more people and poisoned more people than anybody has in history. Joseph Mengele or anybody else. Of course, that'll put me at the top of the list of the ADL, and I don't care. But it's the truth. He bragged to his masters at the World Economic Forum,
Starting point is 00:48:15 and I've played that clip for you several times, about how he was going to use his people as lab rats for Pfizer. And he did. And the other thing that he did was he pushed this digital identity on them. So according to the new European Union legislation, these wallets, which are voluntary for the time, yeah, voluntary, just like the TSA face scans. As a matter of fact, I got a funny article from James Bovard.
Starting point is 00:48:42 He had to fly. And his interactions with the T tsa this biometric stuff uh yeah they're saying the tsa face scans they're voluntary yeah this id stuff is voluntary but just for the time being okay uh and i've reported before about how they recently passed this legislation and when they got finished the same guy theory breton i said he's the conspiracy theory that everybody's been talking about uh he's the one who wants to shut down our speech he's the one who's come multiple times to get elon musk to bow before him in a cringy manner you know saying we got this dsa thing it's going to roll out and they've now you know affected it
Starting point is 00:49:19 but they haven't started enforcing it until next year um But he says, we got this DSA thing that's coming in. You're going to do what we say. Oh, yes, yes, I will. Yes, I will. Master theory. And so, yeah, it's the same guy was the one who was pushing this digital ID wallet. And when they got finished, he said, and now we need to have something to go in the digital wallet, which means the CBDC stuff. It'll make the EU a digital leader at a global level in protecting democratic values, they said. What democratic values are those?
Starting point is 00:49:55 This is nothing but the mark of the beast, the mark of the government. This is a full-on tyranny. Now, in pushing back against this, Poland's central bank chief says that consumers do not want their bank to know about their transactions. And full digital centralization of all transactions removes a right to anonymity. Maybe we could make him president instead of Nikki Haley. She hates anonymity, which tells you that she wants to push an ID on everybody for everything, not just the internet. So this is a guy who has their central bank. Now, I was actually kind of a bit surprised. I thought, wait a minute, I thought they got rid of all of the different currencies that were out there, you know, but you do have the German central bank and
Starting point is 00:50:43 all the rest of this stuff. And, you know, each of these countries still has its central bank, even though they got the euro and even though they have the European central bank. This latest EU move is also tied to proposed treaty changes, which will then phase out all of these national currencies. So perhaps one of the reasons why this Polish central bank head is pushing back on this is not because he's a freedom lover, but he just doesn't want to lose his central bank and his Polish currency, which again, I don't know really how this works. If everybody is using the Euro, maybe they have the opportunity to use the Euro or the
Starting point is 00:51:24 local one, but I thought they confiscated these currencies. So I'm not really sure what these central banks do. I know they buy gold. See these articles all the time about how this central bank's buying gold and that one's buying gold. But I don't know. I haven't been to Europe since they instituted the EU. So I don't really know how people are using, if they're still using the local currencies and national currencies, but they're going to phase them out. That's the next stage. They do it by step by step, right? Not only would Poland be denied the right to conduct its own monetary policy, but the EU would also control the wallets of Polish citizens.
Starting point is 00:51:59 I mentioned what the central banks do as I think about it. Now they probably, you know, they're there to put the country in debt you know to the imf or something or to china i guess that's the purpose that they serve i don't know if they're actually printing any physical polish money now or national german marks or anything of that but you know they can still i guess uh mess with the country they can set the interest rates and they can put them in debt banks in canada and australia have already begun to count the carbon footprints of their clients' purchases. And this is just one step away from stopping them to make certain transactions that would go over that limit that they're now totaling up for everybody. Israeli intelligence is going to be granted full access to their national biometric database.
Starting point is 00:52:42 You see, that's what I was saying about Netanyahu, um, the most antisemitic person on earth, because they've taken the lead on all under his leadership, they've taken the lead. On rushing into all this digital ID stuff more so than anybody else. By the way, there's going to be, you know, news breaking, uh, late last night or this morning that they say they're going to have a temporary ceasefire and get 50 hostages. So we'll see what happens with that. But look at what is happening with the biometric database. And how do you think they're going to use that?
Starting point is 00:53:20 You know, it is an open air prison. It's an open air police state. That's what they're looking for for everybody. And that's what Netanyahu is looking to institute on his own people. Just as he used them for lab rats for Pfizer. The Israeli government maintains that the purpose of this database is to, quote, protect the identity of Israeli citizens and to ensure that every person has only one set of official documentation and one unique identity, the person's true identity.
Starting point is 00:53:54 And so we need to have everything centralized, don't we? And not only that, but, you know, we don't want to have these different databases, you know, for each individual nation. So we need to have one global database, one global mark of the beast ID. Isn't it amazing? 2,000 years ago, this old man on an island just made all this stuff up, right? Yeah, you think that's what's happening with that? Things are happening with Revelation.
Starting point is 00:54:21 ICE, by the way, has now, you know just just in case you think that the immigration border patrol people aren't doing anything well they arrested a brazilian illegal immigrant who's a child rapist now they didn't arrest him at the border they let him in the country eventually they you know uh got uh some information about him and then uh arrested him i don't know if they're going to release him back into the country. What are they going to do? He's been sentenced to 14 years in prison, but he fled Brazil. And so when you see these types of things,
Starting point is 00:54:54 and of course this story is being carried by Fox News, when you see this, you're going to see the conservatives increasingly demanding ID, but not border protection, most likely. And then you have New York Governor Kathy Hochul, who is announcing plans to implement pre-crime surveillance. This has been around for a long time. You know, the Geospatial Intelligence Agency, the fastest growing part of the intelligence
Starting point is 00:55:22 community, they started putting this stuff together back in the late 1990s as they started putting venture capital funding in for the people who were going to run the Internet because the Internet is a big trap. Yeah, just call it the net. It's the NSA and CIA's net to entrap you, to surveil you, to set up a life log on you, to push out their narrative and then to shut down any dissent. It's a net. And so at the same time they were doing this, and of course the Geospatial Intelligence Agency, fastest growing area of that, James Clapper, that's where he fast-tracked his career by being a part of geospatial intelligence and as part of that they have anticipatory intelligence the whole
Starting point is 00:56:11 point of geospatial intelligence is to map you to certain areas as we saw happening on january the 6th bank of america saying here's all the people that made any purchases within the washington region you know and so forth and and uh and then here's another list of all the people that have ever used the bank of America card for buying a gun. And they send that to the FBI. Supposedly the FBI didn't ask for it. We're going to find out whether they did or not, because Jim Jordan has subpoenaed those emails inside of a Bank of America.
Starting point is 00:56:45 But we won't know for another six or seven months at the earliest. Anyway, when you look at this, the whole point of geospatial intelligence is to be able to map people's political beliefs geographically, and to map the political beliefs to certain people, and to also map their religious beliefs. political and religious beliefs. They wouldn't have mapped. And it was called anticipatory intelligence. And so Kathy Hochul is right on board with all this stuff. Pre-crime surveillance, targeting what they call online hate. We're creating strategies the first time
Starting point is 00:57:22 ever to help identify hate at the source and prevent crimes before they occur, said Kathy Hochul. Well, she's actually a little bit late to the party, frankly, because DeSantis beat her to it. Right. He started, he created hate crime legislation in Florida and then he went to Israel to sign it because it was hate crimes that he said were being committed against Jewish people in Florida. And it was hateful, you know, what the people were saying, but that's protected speech. But not by DeSantis, because he'll go to a foreign country and sign a law that presumes to shut down the First Amendment and free speech.
Starting point is 00:58:00 As this article points out, though, from Reclaim the Net, they said she has previously, Hochul has previously claimed that hate speech is not protected speech. And DeSantis has passed laws in Florida with the other Republicans in Florida saying that hate speech, if they call something hateful, then it's not protected speech. claim the net points out that the supreme court uh recently unanimously reaffirmed that there is no hate speech exception to the first amendment you don't get to censor people by calling it hate speech and you don't get to make it a crime a felony which desantis is way ahead of even kathy hokal as despicable as she is. Think about that. Hochul also signed a controversial hateful conduct law last year, which is currently facing legal challenges and injunctions over free speech concerns. And then she had this little press conference where she
Starting point is 00:59:00 talked about how she is going to start propagandizing kids from a very, very early age politically, you know, with their stuff, just as they do sexually. Here is Kathy Hochul's conspiracy theories about how evil free speech can be and how she has to get the kids early so they can distinguish what is true. In other words, what the government is telling you is true. And what is false? Anybody that contradicts and doesn't parrot or echo what the government
Starting point is 00:59:32 is saying is obviously false. They're obviously conspiracy theorists. Today I'm directing the director of division of Homeland Security and emergency services to develop media literacy tools for K through 12 in our public schools. This will teach students and even teachers to help understand how to spot conspiracy theories and misinformation, disinformation, and online hate. Start talking about what we're seeing out there. Give the teachers the tools they need to help these conversations in school.
Starting point is 01:00:09 And by teaching younger New Yorkers about how to discern between digital fact and digital fiction, we can better inoculate them from hatred and the spread of it, and help prepare them for a very fast moving and often confusing world yeah well i think we need to inoculate people against the cia that starts wars kills presidents
Starting point is 01:00:32 organizes coups and other places like ukraine and has done so all of my life they're the ones who are the source of these lies and they've got these puppet politicians like kathy hokal and i would include desantis out there saying we've got to shut this stuff down she specifically by the way you know and i said this the other day i haven't seen anybody else say this so here's my conspiracy theory and i stand by it uh all this stuff about taking tiktok down they've been wanting to take tiktok down for quite some time why Because it is a propaganda arm for the Chinese communist. And they know that very well because they established all these social media companies as propaganda arms themselves. You know, the CIA created In-Q-Tel, venture capital firm. They put the NSA and CIA and these different intelligence agencies put
Starting point is 01:01:23 their people on the venture capital boards that created these social media companies. Some of them failed because they wanted to have the strongest ones succeed. So they find people who are going to do their bidding and then they let them compete. Same thing they do in these elections. May the best puppet win. And so that's what they have here. Now, the Chinese come in with TikTok. And all of a sudden, it gets really, really popular.
Starting point is 01:01:50 Uh-oh. Our model is that all these people who are running the social media sites need to do our bidding. And so they're very upset about that. They're very upset about Twitter. And so that's why you hear all this complaint. You don't hear any complaints about Facebook, do you? but you hear all these complaints about Twitter. You hear complaints about Tik TOK, but especially Tik TOK. And so when this bin Laden letter is there and circulating around on Tik TOK, she mentions this again, she mentions it again. And I believe this is a letter
Starting point is 01:02:22 that was put out post nine 11. Uh, if did, in fact, come out at that time. I don't know if it came out at that time or I haven't gone through and looked at the provenance to authenticate this. But if it did come out in 2002, I'm sure it was written by the CIA. You know, he needs kidney dialysis. I saw the notes. When I said the other other day i said a kidney dilation machine uh no he's not nobody wrote me on that but i saw it in the transcript i thought oh this is one of these things where where otter is um uh you know changing something i said and i i i looked said, maybe I really did say that. So I clicked on it.
Starting point is 01:03:06 It's like, no, I said dilation machines. I'm getting a touch of the Biden syndrome as I get older, I guess. But no, it was a dialysis machine. How did he do that? Running around the mountains, carrying his dialysis machine with him. I don't think he was alive at that point in time, but you know, he was a creation of the CIA from the very beginning. They're boogeyman. And I think they wrote this letter and I think they released this letter because they want more ammunition to say, we got to shut TikTok down.
Starting point is 01:03:34 So Kathy Hochul specifically mentioned TikTok's recent failure to adequately police content that praised Osama bin Laden and his post 9-11 letter to America. Yeah, these are social media sites. They're supposed to be free speech platforms. They're supposed to be the digital equivalent of the public square. They should not be policing speech. And I think, again, that this bin Laden thing, I think it is just another one of their, you know, because look, it's anti-Semitic, so it's hateful.
Starting point is 01:04:12 And you're not shutting down this hateful anti-Semitic speech. Therefore, you've got to be shut down. The initiative comes in the wake of the Israeli-Hamas conflict. They say it has sparked a 400% increase in online threats. And she tweeted out on october the 7th i guess i'll keep calling it tweeting i don't know what is the verb there for uh for xing she x'd out it just doesn't fit so i'm gonna have to keep calling it tweets um since october the 7th we've seen a 400% increase in online anti-Semitic and Islamophobic threats. New York will not sit idly by.
Starting point is 01:04:52 Well, lady, you know, there's a war going on between the Jews and the Muslims. So there's going to be a lot of harsh language, at the very least, that's going to be happening on Twitter. Oh, well, you know, and on TikTok. So we got to shut them down. How about this? How about we shut down the war? You want to focus on the war instead of people talking about the war? Except that we know that a lot of this is bots that's being put out there
Starting point is 01:05:17 by people who want the war. The politicians and the governments who want the war. So they can play their geopolitical games of expansion and other things. Join me live as I announce a new four-pillar plan to keep New Yorkers safe from extremism and violence. Well, we can all hope that she pulls those pillars down upon her agenda, like the Samson option or something. Governor Hochul has called upon social media companies
Starting point is 01:05:45 to take a more active role in censoring hateful content. He specifically mentioned TikTok's recent failures, again, for the Osama bin Laden thing, which I will say again, I think it is the CIA that's doing this, and I think their agenda is to make sure they take down any social media site that they don't directly control that isn't a mockingbird site because they were the ones that were there at its creation. And the whole idea for the Internet itself was the creation of a DARPA psychologist who wanted to manipulate people, JCR Licklider. A psychologist came up with it 30 years before they had the technology to do it in kentucky we have governor basheer
Starting point is 01:06:25 he says the gop needs to stop scapegoating transgender kids it's gross it's wrong i think it's gross and wrong to mutilate these kids chemically surgically what is the matter with this guy we're talking about people calling good evil and evil good. He says, all children are children of God. Okay. So Andy, why are you trying to, um, why are you trying to murder mutilate and rip apart children of God? And then if you can't, uh, rip apart these children of God before they're born, then you're going to rip their genitals apart later on while they're children still what's the matter with this guy what a lying hypocrite he says um uh we have people who are more at risk for suicide and we ought to be in the suicide prevention business hey pal why don't you put yourself
Starting point is 01:07:21 in the infanticide prevention business? So, or your abortion preventive business. And look, it's your DEI stuff and your indoctrination that is creating this. We have never had this before. This is, and look at what is happening to these kids. And, you know, the fact that it's the transgender kids who are committing suicide because they have been psychologically abused and manipulated by our government institutions. This is institutional abuse funded by taxpayers, the educational system.
Starting point is 01:07:58 This never happened before. Just think about this. Think about how recent this is. This is one of these things like you know we got to screen kids for heart attacks now why well because you injected them with this trump poison oh we got to screen kids for suicide why because you injected them with this perverted ideas about they're in the wrong body and all the rest of this stuff. This is all new.
Starting point is 01:08:27 This is as new as a kid's dying of heart attacks when they participate in sports. It's all new. He says, I oppose this, and I had super PACs. My opponents went about in the campaign, and what they said was mean. It was gross. It was cruel, and people don't like that. Well, I don went about in the campaign and what they said was mean. It was gross. It was cruel. People don't like that. Well, I don't know what the ads were.
Starting point is 01:08:47 I'm not in Kentucky, so I don't know what Super PAC ads were. Maybe they were mean and gross. He said some people are doing or trying is to dehumanize other people. Oh, well, now this liar here, which, you know, maybe they weren't mean and gross because this guy's lied about everything else. But, you know, you're trying to dehumanize other human beings. No, you're the one who's trying to dehumanize them. You're trying to de-genderize them. You're trying to mutilate them chemically, surgically.
Starting point is 01:09:14 I think that's dehumanizing. Again, you know, the Navy SEAL, Christopher Beck, who was going as Kristen Beck and being celebrated and pushed into that by Michael Flynn. Yeah, General Flynn, when he was a DCI there, you know, for their second pride month there at the Pentagon, that Flynn was pushing this. And now Kristen Beck says, I was an adult. He said, I should have known better, but these people really pressured me, and that was wrong for them to do that.
Starting point is 01:09:49 And he goes, I can't be quiet about the fact they're doing this to young kids. Here's a guy who is an older SEAL. He's been around. And they were able to do this gaslighting to him. What do you think they're doing to the kids in school? You want to talk about dehumanizing other human beings? You pathetic liar. And then he says, and, you know, trying to turn people against each other and even foster hate and anger.
Starting point is 01:10:16 You know what he's doing? He and these Democrat governors are doing this against parents. They're allied against parents. They want to foster hate and anger towards parents. Why? Because they want to replace parents. They want to replace the family. They don't want there to be a family.
Starting point is 01:10:34 They want these kids. And they want them. So that they can gaslight them. So they can mutilate them mentally, spiritually, and physically. And that's what they're about democrat ex-mayor patrick wuhan gets a 30-year prison term over child porn material the interesting thing about this guy is um not even that it's the fact that he is um uh he had as a mentor pete booty gay he was arrested on 56 child pornography positions and of course there was a he had as a mentor, Pete Boudigay.
Starting point is 01:11:08 He was arrested on 56 child pornography positions, and of course, he was very close to Boudigay. Police said they investigated the matter and found the social media account with a screen named Skippy, MD, belonging to him, and not as an MD doctor, but from Maryland. They believe that he used a virtual private network to mask his location when he was getting
Starting point is 01:11:30 into the social media account to get to the kids that were there. So he's now facing long-term issues with this. And so Michael Schellenberger says, why have white Democrats have become the totalitarians that they warned us about? He says, how did the left go from defending the free speech rights of neo-Nazis to demanding censorship, falsely accusing their opponents of being fascists and seeking their imprisonment? And so he has quotes here. When Trump became president, he said, Democrats said, Trump said, David Remick in The New Yorker, Trump was an authoritarian who disdained civil liberties and whose election was surely the way fascism can begin. And these people don't have a problem with what Trump did in 2020.
Starting point is 01:12:30 As a matter of fact, he didn't do enough to lock us down. According to them, he didn't do enough to vaccinate us. They wanted to go even further. I say that Trump showed himself to be a totalitarian when he enacted medical martial law. And of course, I was attacked by the ADL for saying that. I guess that's anti-Semitic, right? In 2018, legal scholar Cass Sunstein suggested that Trump would not bring authoritarianism to the United States then after the Capitol riot, not after 2020.
Starting point is 01:13:02 He changed his mind and he said American democracy was indeed under threat from trump and his supporters the events of january the 6th 2021 made me think i was actually quite wrong on that well he was wrong to look the other way and trump's supporters all the people who showed up in january the 6th well they had no problem with what Trump had done for the previous year. And as I said at the time, he turned us over to unelected, unaccountable bureaucrats to rule over us. They have trashed, burned, shredded the Constitution for the last year. Why would I vote for any of these people, I said. And the 2020 election was first election I haven't voted in and I'm done. I'm done. I'm not voting anymore for this stuff.
Starting point is 01:13:51 We're not being ruled by the people that we vote for. They're not doing anything. You know, you put them into Congress and what they do, they kick it over to the bureaucracy and tell them to do it. Or you have people like Trump and says, you know, well, okay, we're going to do gun control, which is bad enough, but he says, we're going to do it with Or you have people like Trump and says, well, okay, we're going to do gun control, which is bad enough, but he says, we're going to do it with the bureaucracy. We're going to kick it
Starting point is 01:14:10 to the bureaucracy instead of Congress and so forth. So I'm done with those people. As a matter of fact, I got a kick out of this. This was sent to me by a listener. He says, here's my Trump tribute.
Starting point is 01:14:25 He's got a picture of Trump. And over Trump's face, he's put the David Knight Show bumper sticker. And then he's got a big hypodermic needle stuck in the frame. And hanging from the frame, he's got a mask. It's a Trump tribute. Good for you. I see some crutches there. I hope you were not injured by the vaccine. I hope that is in honor of other people who were injured by the Trump shot. I hope that is not something that you need. But above all, the newly released tapes demonstrate that the Democrat Party's claims to fighting for democracy and staving off authoritarianism are a sham. True.
Starting point is 01:15:07 And that it is the Democrats who have, in their persecution of Trump and his followers, done more to undermine democracy than Trump ever threatened to do. Well, I don't know. I think that they've got their different approaches. That's why I say you need to look. We look at the left and the right, and we look at the Republicans and the Democrats
Starting point is 01:15:24 because they're going to come at us in a different way. And the key thing is what keeps everybody off guard, and it fools people like Michael Schellenberger, is the fact that it's the left-right march of tyranny. The left will do this. The right will do that. They have to put these people in because they know that, okay, this is something, you know, locking everybody down and forcing everybody to get a vaccine. That's something that conservatives are going to have a really hard time with.
Starting point is 01:15:49 So let's put in a conservative Republican and we'll bill him as the anti-globalist Trump. So, you know, of course, he can't be enacting the World Economic Forum's plan because we know that he's anti-globalist. How do you know he's anti-globalist? Because he says so. because they say so. But if you look at what he's doing, you realize that he's not anti-globalist. But don't look at what he does. Look at what he says. Look at the letter behind his name and you'll know that he is truly an anti-globalist.
Starting point is 01:16:19 He is not a shill for them. And so when you look at the left and you look at the right, they put their people in and they alternate them so that they can get the people to sign on to the next step, which is what really concerns me about this next election and Trump's position in it. Well, we're going to take a quick break and we'll be right back. Thank you. Ketika kita berada di kota, kita akan berjalan ke kota yang terbaik. You're listening to The David Knight Show. 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. Dumbo! The Knight Wonder and the Univoice!
Starting point is 01:18:39 The wilds only fly an elephant! Did you ever see an elephant fly? Well, I seen a horse fly. I seen a dragon fly. I seen a house fly. See, I seen all that, too. I seen a peanut stand and heard a rubber band. I seen a needle that winked its eye.
Starting point is 01:19:03 But I be done seen about everything when I see an elephant fly. Oh, yeah. Well, we have a horsefly. We've now seen a horsefly. This just happened. We had a horse that got loose as it was being flown from New York to Belgium. And they had to turn the 747 cargo plane back around and go back to JFK international airport.
Starting point is 01:19:29 Um, they couldn't control the horse. It's running a loose. Um, yeah, I love the Dumbo clip there. So in a horse fly, I've seen a house fly. I ain't never seen an elephant fly. Well, it's a good thing. It wasn't an elephant inside this plane. It would have affected the way they flew it.
Starting point is 01:19:44 According to the pilot, even though the horse was loose and running uh it did not affect the flight of the plane they had to dump a great deal of fuel they were only about 30 minutes out and so they had to turn around and uh so they had to dump 20 tons of fuel over the Atlantic. This is, where is Al Gore? Is there going to be some outrage about some kind of climate disaster over this thing? 20 tons of fuel over the ocean. And just 10 miles west of Martha's Vineyard. Oh, you know, all these billionaire politicians are going to get an oil slick on their homes
Starting point is 01:20:28 or something like that. But anyway, he called in and said, we're in a cargo plane with a live animal, a horse on board. The horse managed to escape its stall. There's no issue with flying. The horse is not flying. Well, I guess he was in a sense.
Starting point is 01:20:42 He was not winged. It wasn't Pegasusus but we need to go back to new york as we cannot re-secure the horse when he landed they said um do you need any emergency help and he says well not on the ground but i need it uh at the ramp yes we have a horse problem he asked for a veterinarian as well when that landed and so you know we got a lot of people who are going to be flying over the weekend uh if um you got a long distance to go and you can't drive i'm very sorry for you uh and we have as a part of the side effects of these ongoing wars and hostilities you know it's just kind um, as we become more and more dependent on
Starting point is 01:21:26 computers and, um, this, this, uh, computerized infrastructure, um, we become more and more susceptible to, um, attack and more and more vulnerable to it. And a good example of this is the electronic warfare that is now happening on planes. And they said there's six different navigational things that are used on a commercial flight as a redundancy. But when you have business jets and private jets and things like that, well, you know, these people like Al Gore who are flying around on these jets everywhere, any of these other climate pimps uh they may be susceptible to this most of it however is focused in and around the areas where we have uh got wars cooking in the middle east in ukraine and it goes back to you know the gps was originally a military tool of the u.s military and it wasn't until the 1980s that they started making it available for use for planes.
Starting point is 01:22:29 But even then, they put a fudge factor in it so that it wasn't going to be quite as accurate as it would be for them. So when they made it available for civilian use, it was not as accurate as the military use but then after a few years uh it's in here in the article i think it was in the 90s they made it more accurate uh you know and because it was pretty inaccurate at the very beginning but planes are losing their satellite signals their gps pilots have received false location reports or inaccurate warnings that said that they were flying close to terrain, according to the European Union safety regulators and an internal airline memo that was viewed by the New York Times. The FAA has also warned pilots about GPS jamming in the Middle East.
Starting point is 01:23:19 So there's a couple of different things that can happen. They can jam the signal. They can interfere with it or they can sp with it, or they can spoof it, which means that they are sending out signals that pretend to be real, but are actually giving them misinformation. Kind of like mainstream media. Aircraft systems are proved largely unable to detect GPS spoofing and to correct it. One jet that was bound for dubai nearly veered
Starting point is 01:23:47 into iranian airspace in september for pilots figured out the plane was chasing a false signal and again you know these planes could get shot down if they go into the wrong area that could be an international incident that could be something that starts a larger war. Large commercial aircraft, as I said, have at least six redundant navigation systems that are alternative. But what's changed over the last couple of years is that spoofing has moved from being a theory in research articles and in labs to actual events in the wild and looking between the lines of this article it appears that perhaps the russians are quite a bit ahead of us in terms of doing this and we know that the russians are you know technologically uh ahead of us in some areas like hypersonic missiles and things like that this may be another one of those they were saying that putin as he was traveling to remote locations in russian occupied crimea he was flanked by mobile gps spoofing technology you kind of think of this as kind of like electronic chaff you know if you got some missiles that are going to be
Starting point is 01:24:58 you know keying in on something maybe that's uh provides another level of defense. Russia has disrupted GPS signals to misdirect Ukrainian drones and to throw precision-guided shells off of their targets. You see, even the artillery shells are using GPS. Isn't that interesting? I didn't know that before. Ukraine also jams Russian receivers, but it lacks the same level of sophistication. So, okay. So when you look at that and say, well, this is something that in just recent years, it was just a theory,
Starting point is 01:25:32 but now we're seeing that it's actually being used. So that's number one. Number two, they say, well, Ukraine has some jamming capability. They don't say spoofing. Okay. Number two, number three, they say they don't have the sophistication of the Russians. So is it because we didn't give it to the Ukrainians or because we don't have it to give to the Ukrainians? Is this Russian spoofing thing? Is that something where they're way out of us? And we don't have it because, you know, this is just a theory to Americans recently recently and um you know we don't have the same level of sophistication in ukraine because it seems like we give the ukrainians everything you know we give them that um jamming is common in conflict zone spoofing until recently
Starting point is 01:26:19 was rare yeah this looks like this is a new thing it It looks like the Russians have got it down, but we don't. I've never seen this level of spoofing, said a technical expert for the British Airlines Pilots Association, who recently retired after 42 years as a pilot. He said the interference has been felt up to 190 miles away from battlefields. It appears to go well beyond simple military mission effectiveness. In the Middle East, a research team at the University of Texas, Austin, found widespread spoofing with false signals telling pilots that their aircraft were directly above the airport in Tel Aviv when, in fact, they were far away.
Starting point is 01:26:57 They said it had received about 50 similar reports, and in some cases, onboard equipment showed their planes were approaching airports in baghdad cairo or beirut when they were not so again um this by the way when they started um the thing that they said caused them to authorize gps use for civilian uh civilians was when the korean airliner kal flight 007 was shot down it was a korean airline they said that it veered into russian territory and it just happened to have on it um a very very influential congressman larry mcdonald incredibly sharp and articulate and constitutional-minded. Larry McDonald, he was associated with the JBS, the John Birch Society.
Starting point is 01:27:53 And of course, 288 people, it was about a half dozen conservative congressmen on board with him, other people like that. So there was a lot of speculation that these were a lot of enemies of the state. And perhaps this was something that was deliberately done. We don't know. But it was after that, in 1983, that the U.S. government started to make GPS available for commercial airliners. And then in 2001, they made the signals more precise. So what was it that happened in 2001 well if it was coming from them they would have the full military if the planes or whatever it was
Starting point is 01:28:32 if that was coming from them they would have the uh the military stuff by themselves. Anyway, the TSA, speaking of flying, uh, I said, uh, Jim Bovard, um, talked about his recent experience with the TSA and facial recognition. And he wrote an article about it for the Mises Institute. He said,
Starting point is 01:28:56 the TSA is still crazy, still crazy after all these years, Paul Simon. Um, he says, as I aired near the end of the TSA checkpoint line, I saw two women loitering behind a roped-off section for CLEAR, the new biometric surveillance program that works with 35 airports
Starting point is 01:29:16 and coordinates with TSA. It also has this code word for the Scientologists. I wonder if Tom Cruise had anything to do with the clear system. Are you clear? You got all those midi-chlorians or whatever they imagine out of you? Clear involves travelers standing in photo kiosks that compare their faces with a federal database of photos from passport applications, drivers licenses, and other sources. And of course, as we're seeing in Israel, this is all going to be used universally. They're going to unify all these databases for control, centralized control.
Starting point is 01:29:52 The Washington Post warned that airport facial recognition systems are, quote, America's biggest step yet to normalize treating our faces as data that can be stored, tracked, and inevitably stolen. I'm not so worried about the stolen part of it. I'm worried about the fact that the government is storing it and tracking it and what purposes they're going to put it to. But, of course, that's the Washington Post talking about that. You know, they're Democrats. They're usually on board with totalitarian stuff, but this is a bridge too far even for them.
Starting point is 01:30:26 So, as we've seen since 2001, all this police state tyranny has been rolling out through the airports first. That's where they preview it for us. That's where they get us accustomed to it. That's why I have no interest in flying anymore. Vaccine, passport, or anything else. I'm not interested in all this stuff. The TSA and the planes. And again, just like Osama bin Laden.
Starting point is 01:30:51 The gift that keeps giving to these police state implementers. Anyway, going back to Jim Bovard, he says, though the CLEAR program is purportedly voluntary. Yeah, voluntary, just like the biometric databases in Europe are now voluntary and the digital ID is now voluntary, but it won't be for long. Washington National Airport recently threatened long delays. Actually, the TSA agents there threatened long delays for any passenger who refused to be photographed by clear
Starting point is 01:31:25 including a u.s senator jeff merkeley a democrat from oregon perhaps this is why the washington post is writing about it because now you see a democrat who's sorry wait a minute uh merkeley said the tsa falsely claimed there were signs notifying people that the facial scans were optional, but the clock is ticking down on seeking voluntary cooperation. The TSA chief announced in March that quote, eventually we will require biometrics across the board. And so,
Starting point is 01:32:03 um, Jim Bovard says, so he's looking at these two women who are loitering in this roped-off section of clear for this voluntary conditioning of people. And he says, idle hands are the
Starting point is 01:32:18 tool of the devil, as the old saying goes. And so the same is true of cell phones. So I raised my phone camera and snapped a few shots of the women and the howling commenced well they don't like it if you film them uh because i know because i've done that uh we we split up and um we're coming back from washington wasn't washington oregon on a vacation and uh um and and one of um one of the family members i think it might have been travis went through a different line or something again they got him and they started uh you know asking him
Starting point is 01:32:54 questions about stuff okay because we all opt out we opt out of the scanners we don't want to go through the scanners and it isn't even that we don't want to go through the scanners. I want to, as much as I can, be a wrench in the works. I want to make things difficult for them. I'll do everything that I can short of being belligerent to them to make their job difficult and to gum up the works. And I wish everybody would do that. If everybody opt out, can you imagine what would happen? But anyway, so he opted out. We went through a different line and they started asking him questions.
Starting point is 01:33:34 So I pulled out my phone to record the questions that they were asking him. Oh, that got them really upset. And what they had done, I know what it was. He got separated from us. We were traveling with my daughter. She was young and the guy was, yeah, he's nice. He says, okay, come on through. You know, we won't make you go through all this stuff and everything.
Starting point is 01:33:54 And so he's nice to us. And so then, but then Travis, who's not with us, and so the four of us through, but they let Travis through and they started asking him questions. And so then I started recording. And the guy says, I was nice to you. Now you're doing this recording. I said, well, look around you. There's cameras everywhere. We're both being recorded right now.
Starting point is 01:34:12 And, uh, and I said, yes, um, I am going to record this. And, um, I was, I was not impressed. It was like saying, well, you know, here I am and I have a license to abuse you, but I didn't abuse you. So you should show me gratitude. And it's like saying well you know here i am and i have a license to abuse you but i didn't abuse you so you should show me gratitude and it's like i'm sorry i don't even you shouldn't even have this job i didn't say that but that's what i was thinking and so when jim bovard takes a picture of these these women they say what are you doing screamed a young woman wearing a clear jacket you can't take my photo he, but you're scanning people's eyeballs.
Starting point is 01:34:47 He says, that doesn't matter. You can't take our photo. It's not allowed. She sounded as if I had desecrated a federal temple. Well, he has. Yeah, I'm in control here. This is my thing. Uh, the, uh, so then he gets up to the person who is going to look at his, uh, ID stuff.
Starting point is 01:35:17 Describes him as a stern middle-aged TSA dude sitting behind plexiglass. He stared at my driver's license and then gave me an intense look. TSA considers a cold penetrating stare stare, quote-unquote, a terrorist warning. But I assume this guy was above suspicion, even though he's getting the cold stare. I was tempted to ask how many TSA watch lists included my name, thanks to my bashing TSA on New York Times, USA Today, New York Post, Washington Times, and many other publications. He says, as a matter of fact, the TSA chief denounced me in 2014 for maligning TSA agents. But he says, TSA protocols make flying vexing without making travelers safe.
Starting point is 01:36:02 As a matter of fact, people who are security experts say that if you bunch people up like they do, it actually makes them more susceptible if there was going to be a terrorist attack. The fact that there hasn't been a terrorist attack and the TSA knows it and the TSA admitted it, as I've said many times in a lawsuit by John Corbett, not the reporter, but another guy who was an engineer. And he came up with a way to defeat their body scanners, and he also sued them, and as part of that lawsuit, part of his discovery, he was able to subpoena documents going back to 2011. At the same time, they were threatening to shut down Texas and make it a no-fly zone if Texas said,
Starting point is 01:36:42 you're not going to be able to manhandle kids going through the thing. And, uh, uh, unanimously passed in the house and then they shut it down in the Senate, uh, with the Lieutenant governor who had retired from the CIA and then bought his way into being Lieutenant governor. They set him up in the oil business. He made a lot of money. He spent more money than anybody ever spent to get elected to statewide office up to that point. And so he was able to shut that down. But at the time that was all happening in 2011, this document said that there is no threat to airports or airplanes, no threat, no terrorist threat, nothing. And yet they were demanding that we have these newly installed scanners,
Starting point is 01:37:27 naked body scanners, which they had already manufactured before the underwear bomber. They had them ready to go that Christmas and they rolled them out right away. Isn't that what foresight they had, right? Of course, it was Trotoff who used to be, you know, the first Homeland Security Director, I think was his title with a Bush and when he retired, he starts making these body scanners and they got them all built and ready to go. And then lo and behold, there's an underwear bomber and the story just keeps going, you know, Haskell, the lawyer who filmed that and talked about it, and he got so concerned about what was happening
Starting point is 01:38:00 that he left the country living abroad. Now. Uh, but anyway, anyway um to make a long story short the um fact is these things don't work and this whole idea of bunching everybody up together to go through security we've seen that used by terrorists when there really are terrorists instead of the figment of the government's imagination we've seen for the last 22 years when there really are terrorists and you have people in Muslim countries where you got church members who are bunching up. They got security because there's been so many attacks on people when they're in church.
Starting point is 01:38:34 So they got it cordoned off and you have to go through security and, you know, show, you know, empty your pockets and all the rest of the stuff and metal detectors. And so the Muslims just go up and bomb the people at those security checkpoints. If there were any terrorist threats, the TSA would be making it worse. But Jim Bovard said TSA decrees are wildly inconsistent, but every command is presumed to be sacrosanct. He said flying out of Washington and Dulles Airport the prior week, I was told to keep my laptop and my courier bag. Fine.
Starting point is 01:39:04 But in Dallas, a TSA drill sergeant wannabe barked orders for everybody to remove their laptops and lay them out before sending them through the x-ray machines. TSA agents have been caught selling stolen laptops on eBay. So I try to keep my eye on my computer. But then he says, as I exited the scanner, the TSA supervisor said, we've got to do a supplemental pat down. So what are you talking about? They said, well, we've got a problem.
Starting point is 01:39:28 And he points to the picture and he, and he says, um, there was illuminated thin line directly in front of my groin. I said, that's the zipper on my pants. This is why I try to be as uncooperative as i possibly can with these people um anyway uh something had to go through an enhanced fact down anyway and he said as i left the checkpoint i muttered something about tsa standing for too stupid for arby's and um uh anyway uh it wasn't my fault the tsa screeners failed to detect 95 of the test bombs and weapons during covert tests by federal inspectors.
Starting point is 01:40:09 And by the way, nobody covered the fact that that was in there. It was interesting how we saw it again. Uh, pacer.gov is where the government publishes all lawsuits. And so they were supposed to put up a redacted version of that document. And they put up the full unredacted version and left it up for half a day realize a mistake and then put the other one up but it was too late we had already gotten a snapshot of the unredacted document and so we're able to see what they didn't want us to see it was very nice of them to do that um They put big black bars over the stuff that they didn't
Starting point is 01:40:45 want us to see. And so then we focused in on that. And that's where we see them saying that in 2011, there was no threat to airports or airplanes. And if there had been a threat, of course, 95% of these threats would have gotten through. So there aren't any, and we know that without even seeing that document, but nobody wants to talk about that. Everybody will talk, they'll do stories from AAA about how many people they think are going to be flying this year and that type of thing. A beefy young female agent hoisted my bag and carted it to the end of the checkpoint area. She was the final participant in the gauntlet of village idiocy that I had to pass through before reaching my plane.
Starting point is 01:41:22 She summoned me to explain its contents and my depravity. She unzipped my bag and began pawing through it. In lieu of a machete, she found a small half-full jar of peanut butter. She said, you can't take liquids on a flight. He said, it's peanut butter. It's not liquid. It's liquid,'t it's peanut butter it's not liquid it's liquid and it's prohibited oh yeah peanut butter bomb you know the worst thing worst experience we ever had with tsa
Starting point is 01:41:55 was when we're bringing back my daughter again she didn't speak any english and she'd been with us for two weeks we had to stay in the area before we could leave and but you know she didn't speak anything so before we left we went through um in the town where we were staying there was this massive just massive place of um kind of like a flea market but it was more industrialized i guess and uh you know the whole family went through it they had all kinds of models and toys and all kinds of things like that and super cheap um and um but you know good quality stuff the kids were younger then they got some uh gundam models and things like that but um anyway um uh karen got a whole bunch of toys to keep her busy on the plane flight because she'd not been on a plane. There wasn't any way we could explain to her what was happening.
Starting point is 01:42:47 And it was a very long flight. It flew us over the North Pole, you know, but anyway, it was a very long flight. So to try to keep her, you know, occupied, she got a whole bunch of toys. And as we're there at the airport in China leaving on the uh pa system they say well if you're going to flor if you're going to flor if you're going to the u.s you got to go to get there early because we got special enhanced security we get treated worse than anybody else american citizens because of our own government and so we had to go through extra screening and when we're going through it the tsa agents started pulling out all these toys and just
Starting point is 01:43:25 saying you can't take this can't take that can't take this can't take it just stealing them from us stealing them from us there's no security issue with these toys and um and my daughter is looking at it the little girl was like oh she's because she'd not seen any of these things before karen had bought them on the sly and uh talk about making us angry and disappointed and and then she cried you know for this incredible the entire flight back um chatting with another jaded traveler as i put my boots back on after clearing the checkpoint he asked if i was upset about losing my peanut butter i smiled and i said I'll settle accounts with the TSA later. I think he just did. Let me read some of the things that people have.
Starting point is 01:44:10 A lot of comments have come up here that I haven't gotten to yet. On Rumble, Rogue Statesman, thank you very much. I appreciate that tip. Thank you. Much love and prayers for all you do. Well, thank you. I appreciate that. And on Rockfin, Angus Mustang, thank you for the tip.
Starting point is 01:44:24 I wish everyone a happy Thanksgiving, says Angus, and I hope everyone gets to enjoy the day with friends and families. Yes. Yes. Rumble, Rabid Roach, says, speaking as the son of two Polish immigrants to Canada, I can tell you that outside the metropolitan area, Poles are very nationalistic and Catholic, and they insist on holding on to their own creations. Well, good for them. As a matter of fact, they have been hanging on
Starting point is 01:44:49 to the family and other things like that in Poland. Uh, so, uh, maybe they will push back against some of this ID stuff and CBDC stuff that's rolling out, uh, on rock fan max B. Thank you very much for the tip. Uh, he says, um, hope you and the family have a great holiday. I think I can speak for everyone in the chat. We're thankful and grateful for all the work you and Travis and Karen do to bring this, but we'll thank you. That's really kind, really kind.
Starting point is 01:45:17 And, um, so, um, uh, let, let's talk a little bit about what makes people happy when we come back and, uh, you know, give us some food for thought about what we're thankful for as we come to this holiday. It's a great, it's my favorite holiday, as a matter of fact, because of what it focuses on and what it invites us to think about. Of course, you know, we can think about these things at any time, but the fact that that is the center of it makes a difference. So we'll be right back. Thank you.

I've got this right here. Here's the t-shirt, a Gildan dark heather t-shirt, only $16.99 at the David Knight show.com as part of our Black Friday super sale. Get them while they're hot. Okay okay that's my uh that's my plug is that good karen um so uh let's talk about money uh and uh how does it take how much does it take to make you happy they asked americans uh this is a poll that was put out. And it's kind of interesting, the results
Starting point is 01:48:48 that came with this. You know, it makes us happy just to see some tips on Mumble or the other things. We don't need this much. The average person thinks happiness can be bought for just over a million dollars. This is a study that found out that more than half of Americans, 59% say they believe that money can buy happiness. And if it does, they say it costs around $1.2 million.
Starting point is 01:49:15 Uh, so I guess, um, that's inflation, you know, being a millionaire no longer does it. You gotta be a 1.2 millionaire. Uh,
Starting point is 01:49:24 you go back and you look at everybody talking about millionaire this and millionaire that of course that was about the time that they created the federal reserve before they devalued the currency uh so um uh and and when they look at it the millennials say that they need a net worth of 1.7 million to be happy and the boomers are saying 999 000. you know we don't want to be greedy we don't need to be happy. And the boomers are saying 999,000. You know, we don't want to be greedy. We don't need to be a millionaire, but we get as close to it as we can. I think what we're seeing here is a difference in the perception of inflation.
Starting point is 01:49:54 My parents were always behind in inflation when they'd look at it. They're thinking about the prices of things when they were kids or the prices of things, you know, in the early 1970s. And by the time you got to the late 1970s, we had that massive inflation because of people messing with the price of oil, like Biden began his administration doing and continues to do. So, you know, that creates inflation in and of itself. In addition to the federal policies, the Federal Reserve policies. But they just couldn't keep up with that mindset of inflation. And so everything was, oh, I can't believe the price of this.
Starting point is 01:50:33 I can't believe the price of that. So the boomers are only looking at $999,000 to make them happy. The millennials need $1.7 million. And I can say to the millennials that probably with inflation, 1.7 million ain't going to do it. It's going to be way more than that. So fewer than one in five respondents, only 17%, said that financial happiness is defined by reaching a certain net worth. Around two-thirds associated financial happiness is defined by reaching a certain net worth. Around two-thirds associated financial happiness
Starting point is 01:51:06 with an on-time bill payment and debt-free status. With regards to salary, the average price tag Americans put on happiness was $284,000 a year. Men's price point was quite a bit higher. Men said you needed $381,000. Women said they needed an average annual salary of $183,000. Maybe this is why we're not happy, because we have not attained these things. In general, this is way out of line with what the average or certainly even the median income is.
Starting point is 01:51:39 So, you know, when we put our expectations on these types of metrics, we're setting ourselves up for disappointment and unhappiness, aren't we? Uh, so again, millennials listed the highest salary point. Uh, they need $525,000 a year to be happy. And again, uh, the boomers, you know, we've got our mind, our, our, our price points are set in the past pre inflation, 124,000. We'll do it for the boomers, but, um, millennials want a half a million dollar salary. 71% of respondents said having more money would solve most of their problems. Yeah. That's kind of interesting because I remember when we went through, um, uh, we had a business that we built and then we were defrauded from it and
Starting point is 01:52:28 i was talking to somebody at the time you know when and he knew we were going through this economic issue and um and he had uh his wife had been diagnosed with MS. And I was like, oh, I'm so sorry to hear that. And he said, well, that's nothing compared to the financial. I'd much rather deal with health issues than with financial issues that you got. And I thought, you know, that's kind of interesting. God knows what we would want to have. And so for some people, it's going to be a health issue. For other people, it'll be a monetary issue or might be something else.
Starting point is 01:53:21 It might be some kind of an addiction thing. But, you know, I thought about that again when I was talking about that story with, uh, uh, hello, darkness, my old friend about the blind friend of art Garfunkel. And, um, and the fact that art was always there for him after he went blind, encouraged him to continue. The guy became a lawyer and uh then uh didn't had not made much money he was still a young guy but he was the one who gave them he gave him almost all of his money he and his wife had 404 dollars in the bank and uh garfunkel said you know we need the money to do this album how much you need 400 all right he gave him 400 the $404 that he had.
Starting point is 01:54:08 And the story that he had, and he wrote a memo about it. As I talked about it, he said Garfunkel was always there. And to identify with him, he called himself Darkness. And so he would read to him. He would help him with his homework. He would guide him to different places. And then one day he left him alone in Grand Central Station. And this guy just had this horrible experience. He's bumping into things. He, you know, skinned his knee and
Starting point is 01:54:29 all the rest of the stuff, bumped into a woman and all the rest. And he was furious that Garfunkel just walked away and abandoned him. And then when he gets back to the college campus, he realizes, you know, Garfunkel says something to him, he realizes that he was there watching him the entire time. And I said, isn't that so much like the way that it is with God? You know, we think that he's abandoned us because we've got health issues or we've got financial issues. And yet he's there all the time, all the time. And just like Garfunkel. You know, he's doing it to, uh, to help us. So with buying inflation,
Starting point is 01:55:11 the millennials may get their wish. They may all become millionaires. We had the joke in the seventies when inflation kicked in, you know, this guy has a suspended animation. He comes back 50 years later and, his bank account is still there. They haven't confiscated, which, of course, in real life they would have.
Starting point is 01:55:32 But he's got all this money, millions of dollars and everything, and then he's got a pay phone. Remember those things? And then the operator says, please deposit another $50,000 for the next minute. He realizes they're not going to go anywhere. So, yeah, purchasing power ain't going to be there, you may become millionaires we may all become millionaires uh but it's going to be the cbdc uh that they can seize all of that money from you in a moment and um you know so again
Starting point is 01:56:00 thieves break in and steal uh and speaking of you know, when they look at the millennials, who wanted, they think they need to have a net worth of $1.7 million. Yeah. They may be underestimating that because that won't even buy Napoleon's hat. Uh, Napoleon's hat just sold at auction for over $2 million in France, a hat that was once worn by Napoleon Bonaparte. Now I'm not, it's not clear to me. Was that his daily headgear or did he wear it once?
Starting point is 01:56:28 You know, it was just things like, uh, George Washington slept here. Uh, the winner remains anonymous and will be forced to pay a 28.8% commission fee. So bring the total of the hat to $2.1 million. If you can pull that up, Travis, the picture of those two guys on either side of the hat. Um, and, um, it looks absolutely huge. It is absolutely amazing how, how big that is. And I don't know, maybe he had a large head to go with his large ego, or maybe that was part of his Napoleon complex where he had, look at that.
Starting point is 01:57:03 Yeah. ego or maybe that was part of his napoleon complex where he had look at that yeah either those are two very small people or that is one gigantic hat and um again yeah it tells us a great deal about napoleon doesn't it and uh he was not all hat and no cattle he did have quite a bit of cattle that he used uh people you know that he used uh but that's an expression in texas all hat no cattle well um he was uh he had a big hat so it's and it's a big price tag 2.1 million and um millennials don't even aspire to being able to own a hat like that none of us do eric clapton by the way had a guitar that sold for $1.27 million. So it's less than the nappy
Starting point is 01:57:48 hat that's there. So we also have in terms of shrinkflation, Oreos are shrinking. And so this is going around the
Starting point is 01:58:04 internet. You have people saying, this is a sign of the times. This is the way the world is now. Look at it. They raised the price, and they shrunk the amount of cream on the Oreos, and again, the millennial heirs, I guess we could call them, the millennials who want to be millionaires. We call them millennial heirs, I guess we could call them. The millennials who want to be millionaires, we call them millennial heirs.
Starting point is 01:58:27 And they will not even be able to get the kind of Oreos that we all took for granted. An Oreo with sufficient cream will be virtually unattainable in the future, I guess. And if you think junk food is shrinking, you need to take a look at your junk dollar. Cause it's really shrinking. I mean, that's one of the reasons why you should put some of your money in gold. And, uh,
Starting point is 01:58:53 but it's really the CBDC, uh, that you need to be careful about. And we'll talk a little bit more about that when we come back. But again, David night. Gold will take you to Tony Arderman. And,
Starting point is 01:59:03 we'll not be, uh, we'll be doing a rebroadcast tomorrow, so Tony will not be on with us. And I waited too late to think about that. And so he's got other plans today. Could not change it to today. But DavidKnight.Gold will take you to Tony Arterburn's WiseWolf.Gold. And you can do something to make sure that even though you may not be able to buy Oreos with a lot of cream in them, you'll still be able to get outside of the CBDC net and you'll be able to keep up with inflation.
Starting point is 01:59:35 So we're going to take a quick break and we'll be right back. Hear news now at APSradioNews.com or get the APS Radio app and never miss another story. Thank you. you're listening to the david knight show all right as these uh as everybody's trying to figure out what it takes to make us happy and of course um uh the money how much money do you need well it takes a lot more money to make the federal government happy than it takes for us massive money printing is going to be coming in 2024 it's not just gerald cilenti saying this now you've got a lot of banks and investors and investment advisors who are now saying you know we have the election coming up and they're going to start showering us with cash one way or the other to make everybody happy for the election.
Starting point is 02:01:12 And so Preston Pish warns that the Federal Reserve could surprise markets next year with massive money printing during an election year. This is virtually a given. And Gerald Slenty has been saying this for quite some time. By the way, Gerald Slenty's Trends Journal at TrendsJournal.com. He'll give you 10% off if you use the code Knight. And he's been ahead of this game for a very long time, understanding that they're going to use the COVID to push in a digital CBDC
Starting point is 02:01:45 talking about the economic crash and chaos is being precipitated by the, um, stimulus checks and the lockdowns, how that was going to cause a crash in commercial real estate. That was going to cause a crash in banks, as well as the fact that we see this pattern. Um, you know,
Starting point is 02:02:03 that's something that is way ahead of other, of other people, but most people understand that the government is going to do everything it can to do giveaways to make people happy. You just saw this in Argentina. You got a guy who is a libertarian economist, and he's talking about, well, we got to cut down a lot of these programs and things like that.
Starting point is 02:02:20 So the guy that he was running against, who was a socialist in charge of their, he was a minister of finance in a country where they have 150% inflation. I think he's a certified failure. But that guy decides that even with 150% inflation, they are going to add some new programs to give away things to people and cut taxes and all the rest of this stuff. And that's what they always do in an election. With just over one month left of the year, Wall Street is very much divided over the likelihood of a recession and how the Federal Reserve will react to it. On the one hand, you have Goldman Sachs that is relatively optimistic. They only think that there's a 15% chance of a contraction in the U S economy next year.
Starting point is 02:03:07 And, um, uh, but then on the other hand, uh, Morgan Stanley and UBS are saying that there will be a recession and it will be followed by rate cuts as early as the first half of this year. UBS is not ruling out a rate cut as early as March,
Starting point is 02:03:26 with cuts amounting to 275 basis points next year. They're saying the Fed is going to get really aggressive in terms of lowering rates as they got really aggressive in terms of raising them. And when you look at these whiplash moves in the interest rates, that's one of the things that caused the crisis for the small, even for big banks. And so it's going to be something that's going to be a real issue
Starting point is 02:03:53 for a lot of banks as well as for a lot of people. It's going to be this whiplash going back and forth. The thing few acknowledge is that we're not necessarily operating in a free and open market, said Pish. And depending on the speed and the size, the response from the central banks, you can get interesting things which will happen. Do they show up because it's an election year with so much dry powder of monetary units?
Starting point is 02:04:16 Considering that it's an election year, the speed of the response is going to be much faster, much swifter, with a lot more magnitude of fiat printing than what you would get in a non-election year. In other words, election year, election year, election year. And the fact that, you know, we've never seen them, not only, you know, the first time that they burst the bubble that they'd created in 2008, you know, the real estate bubble they created, they burst it in 2008. How'd they do it? Well, they had 25 basis points or a quarter of a percentage jump like every month, you know, like a little stair step until they burst the bubble. Then they dropped it down to zero and kept it there for a long time to make an even bigger
Starting point is 02:04:52 bubble. And then we had over the last year, as you know, they started jumping it up though, not by a quarter of a percent, not by 25 basis points, but by 75 basis points. Never seen that before. And so that's whiplashing the economy. And as people are starting to react to it, and of course we would have had a lot more reaction except for the hopey happy news about artificial intelligence driving the stock market.
Starting point is 02:05:22 And so now he says, oh, they're going to cut it. And UBS thinks they're going to cut it as well. They might cut like two and three quarters percent off of the interest rate. That'd be huge. And the people who haven't been able to buy or sell houses, they'll be able to buy or sell houses for a little window there. Oh, this is great. Biden's not that bad after all.
Starting point is 02:05:42 Let's give them another second term or we'll put Lala in something like that. That's what this is all about. They're just going to really break something catastrophically, says Pish, because of so much manipulation that has been that is taking place. He sees a massive deflationary wave followed by COVID level type stimulus and by double-digit inflation. And when the government admits that they've got double-digit inflation, then you've got a real problem because they're typically way, way, way under, more than half of what the actual inflation rate is.
Starting point is 02:06:19 They're going to be at a critical point with the reverse repo facility come January andbruary repo market matter of fact yeah that's another thing going back into the fall of 2019 before this stuff happened they were messing with the repo market um and celine and i were talking about it then during the first quarter of 2024 things will get really spicy and they will have to do some type of a response. Well, yeah, politics is what this is really all about. The Fed hikes may have concluded as the central banks purchase gold at a record level. So, again, this is another article talking about how with the Federal Reserve no longer going to war with the dollar,
Starting point is 02:07:05 as Tony Hardeman puts it, you know, raising the interest rates. And look at that hasn't taken down gold. It's been able to withstand this rapid rise, really unprecedented how quickly they have raised interest rates. And it hasn't done anything to the price of gold. And so now as they have stopped with the rate hikes and people are pretty much, yeah, it's not going to happen. People are now saying, well, how much are they going to lower it?
Starting point is 02:07:29 Are they going to lower it? Two and three quarters percent. So central banks are looking at this and central banks are coming to the same conclusion as this guy was just talking about. They're buying gold at record levels. Evidently, they all agree with Slenty. They all see it the same way. Even the Dutch central bank is saying,
Starting point is 02:07:47 we're buying up gold to prepare for a new gold standard. If there is a financial crisis, the gold price will skyrocket. And official gold reserves can be used to underpin a new gold standard, according to the Dutch national bank, the central bank of the Netherlands. By saying that gold will be a safe haven of choice during a financial collapse, DNB, the Dutch national bank, confesses that its own currency, the euro, again, you know, like I said, the central banks, I don't know, they have their, you know, maybe the Netherlands, they don't. Maybe it's just the euro.
Starting point is 02:08:26 Maybe they just manipulate interest rates. But they're saying that their own currency, the euro, will not weather all the storms. And they're also saying the DMV, the Dutch National Bank, is also encouraging people to own gold to be protected from financial shocks. Wow, that's a novel idea. gold to be protected from financial shocks. Wow. That's a novel idea. You mean you've got a government out there that's giving people advice on things that they should do rather than telling them exactly the opposite. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:08:56 The Netherlands are trying to kill the food supply and the farmers, but they're telling people to get gold. That's, that's kind of odd. That's the oddest thing about this whole story. So they're encouraging people to own gold to be protected from financial shocks, to make the transition toward a gold-based monetary system more likely. So this person who wrote this article, I can't pronounce his name,
Starting point is 02:09:21 but you can find this on Zero Hedge. And he said, I wrote an article recently about this. He said, Europe, the title of the article was, Europe has been preparing for a global gold standard since the 1970s. He said, my analysis is pieced together by scarce quotes from central banks and from data of European gold and foreign exchange holdings. My conclusion was that several medium-sized economies in Europe, that is the Netherlands, the Dutch, Belgium, Austria, Portugal, several of the medium-sized economies sold large amounts of gold from the 1990s to 2008 to come on
Starting point is 02:10:06 par with France, Germany, and Italy. He said, I wrote seemingly there are guidelines in the Eurozone for national central banks to hold an appropriate amount of gold relative to their GDP. And another article I revealed them in the early 1990s, the People's Bank of China was buying the gold that the Dutch National Bank was selling in the 1990s. By selling gold, Europe was allowing developing countries to buy gold and to come on par with the West. And China, too, has expressed its desire to bring its gold holdings more in line with the size of its economy, just like the Europeans and thus to international averages. So he said, and he quotes a Dutch newspaper in 1993, China announced it's working to build up its gold reserves in order to bring it
Starting point is 02:10:55 more in line with the size of Chinese GDP. So he's looking at this and he says, I'm seeing the, you know, them kind of leveling this out and normalizing their gold holdings according to the size of their gross domestic product. And it's happening not just in Europe, but even with China as well. He says another sign of Europe having prepared for a new gold arrangement is the repatriation of gold by several countries. In the Eurozone, Germany, the Netherlands, France, Austria, repatriated and redistributed bullion for security reasons,
Starting point is 02:11:31 while keeping a substantial share of their assets in liquid markets such as London. Additionally, Germany, France, and Sweden, that we know of, have upgraded gold bars that did not adhere to current wholesale industry standards. So now all of their metal can be traded instantly. Last but not least, he says, in European central banks, communications about gold have become unequivocally clear and candid. Stating, quote,
Starting point is 02:11:58 gold is the bedrock of stability for the international monetary system. That was Germany said that. Gold is an excellent hedge against adversity. That's a quote from the Italian central bank. The French central bank says gold is considered to be the ultimate store of wealth and gold may play a stabilizing role in times of structural changes in the international financial system or in deep geopolitical crises, says Hungary. Do you think that we are in a time where there is going to be intentional structural changes in the financial system? Well, yes. I mean, when you go back and look at the March 2022 order from Joe Biden telling everybody in the deep state, everybody in the executive branch, all these bureaucracies
Starting point is 02:12:54 that work for them, he set it up in four different areas. And one of those areas was completely restructuring the financial system. Then it was also, you know, how are we going to implement it? How are we going to enforce it how are we going to enforce it so he got the law enforcement people involved why do you have to enforce legally enforce some new currency because it's going to be imposed without our wishes cbdc that's what he was talking about so everybody look at how you're going to do it first of all the cbdc is going to be a complete restructuring of the financial system we need some people to write the code to do that but then we need people who are going to enforce it on the Americans who don't want it.
Starting point is 02:13:29 And then the fourth issue was, how are we going to sell it to everybody? Oh, climate change. Look at the environmental problems associated with crypto or a big competitor that's going to be there. Well, this is a time of intentional structural changes in the financial system and internationally, and it's also being organized by these same people to be a time of deep geopolitical crises. So as the Hungarian central bank says, gold plays a stabilizing role during these unstable periods,
Starting point is 02:14:07 periods that are unstable because of what they're doing. This person said, these are remarkable statements from entities that are tasked with guaranteeing financial stability, but they're tasked with guaranteeing financial stability for their governments and for themselves. You, on the other hand, are tasked with guaranteeing financial stability for their governments and for themselves. You, on the other hand, are tasked with guaranteeing
Starting point is 02:14:25 financial stability for yourself. And so that's one of the reasons why I'm really happy to work with Tony. Again, he set up the website davidknight.gold to help you provide financial stability for yourself, to help you provide financial privacy for yourself, so there'll be some things that you can buy, even if the government doesn't want you to be able to buy things. And that is a real big issue for me. Having been kicked off of PayPal and these other things, I see this coming. It's already coming for people who are outspoken. It's going to be coming for everybody though.
Starting point is 02:14:59 I'm sorry, you've had too much meat this month. We're tracking all this stuff. Well, if you got some gold and silver and you know some farmers who want to deal in a gray market, well, then you can do that type of thing. And I'm very encouraged by the fact that the war on drugs has failed for 52 years. If you can't stop people from buying drugs that we know are harmful, what about food that we know is helpful? You think you're going to be able to stop that?
Starting point is 02:15:32 There's going to be a lot of people going to look the other way with that. And, you know, they'll probably do it for a cut of meat themselves. And, you know, it was was as a matter of fact one of the guys that I've interviewed in the past I forget what his name was he was a Christian missionary he was in Romania and he said he was there when things were really tough with the Shishu regime and he said people in cities were starving but he said out in the rural, the farmers had plenty of food, and they left them alone. He said, the reason they left them alone was because the Stasi police and all the rest of these people and the politicians wanted to be able to eat themselves.
Starting point is 02:16:16 And so he said, if you had something that you could barter with for these farmers and everything, he said, you know, they ate well and they were left alone so they could grow some food. But the people in cities, you know, because of the distribution system and everything like that was broken because of the authoritarian government, you had to be able to get this stuff on the outside. That's the world that is coming. We don't have to fear that world, but we should prepare for it. We're going to take a quick break. And when we come back, we're going to take a quick break, and when we
Starting point is 02:16:45 come back, we're going to talk a little bit about Thanksgiving, telling the truth is a revolutionary act. You're listening to The David Knight Show.

That is on sale. We also have our T-shirt, the Gildan Dark Heather T-shirt, with a large logo on the back. That's the one that looks like this, if I see that correctly. And it has a logo on the back. That's the one that looks like this. And if I see that correctly.
Starting point is 02:18:29 And it has a logo on the left chest. And then we also have this. We have a pen. A pen that is always at the front of my desk. There it is right there. Laser engraved pen on a Black Friday super sale there at thedavidknightshow.com. I love the description that Karen gave me here. This is a plunge action mechanism wow that's special i think that's the way most pens work but uh plunge action mechanism it is aluminum construction matte silver finish and a black dot accent on the
Starting point is 02:19:02 clip and you can get that right now for the Black Friday special. Let's talk a little bit about Thanksgiving. And as we look at Black Friday again, some people are saying, well, this isn't really the thing that makes or breaks a business anymore. I guess what makes or breaks a business is whether or not you've got a store in San Francisco. But it's sales every day there. You know, just grab everything that you can. But typically, you know, the holiday season has been what has made companies put them in the black,
Starting point is 02:19:46 in other words, in the profit column rather than in the red, uh, which is, um, uh, a deficit, uh, maybe red States. You don't want to be in a red state when it comes to the accounting people. Uh, but, uh, Macy's the department store, uh, they are now going for an untraditional Thanksgiving day parade. And you've got a lot of people who are boycotting them, hoping for a miracle on 34th Street, I guess, but there isn't Santa working there anymore. Instead, you've got people who really don't like families and don't like kids because they're pushing this transgender thing.
Starting point is 02:20:18 The Marxist march through the institutions. Yes, that includes Macy's now. All of these have been taken over. Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade in New York City, a traditional holiday season kickoff staple for many Americans to watch. I haven't watched TV for a long time. Anyway, I know of it.
Starting point is 02:20:38 It is suddenly going untraditional, and they are promoting LGBT lifestyle choices and ideology. That's a good way to put it, LGBT lifestyle choices and ideology. And that's a good way to put it because it is an ideology. It's a religion. Uh, it is the ideology of being anti parental rights and pro child mutilation agenda.
Starting point is 02:20:57 According to a report in Washington stand, the event this year is to feature promotions of two Broadwayway musicals that have bought into the transgender agenda and both of these have key actors who identify as transgender or non-binary at least 36 000 people have pledged to boycott macy's. One Million Moms has put up a protest site or something like that. I don't know. I guess maybe you can buy things online from Macy's, which would be how this goes.
Starting point is 02:21:34 But to protest for them sponsoring this kind of entertainment. So what is it that these actors are about? Well, one person, Justin David Sullivan, who identifies as non-binary and uses all pronouns. So he's pan-pronounish, I guess. He's pan-pronoun. He will perform portions of this Broadway show called And Juliet. Instead of Romeo and Juliet.
Starting point is 02:22:06 They just cut out Romeo because, you know, we hate guys. That's just like this woman, this young girl, I should say. Oh, uh, Steven Spielberg had her play Maria and his remake of West side story,
Starting point is 02:22:17 which I didn't see. And, uh, then Disney got her to play the remake of a snow white, which I know I will not see. And she's out there saying, yeah, reimagine this. We don't need Prince Charming. It's just so creepy how he's stalking her.
Starting point is 02:22:32 It's like he's stalking her. Just, you know, and so now they cut out Romeo from Romeo and Juliet and their play. They re-imagined the Shakespearean play as if, what if Juliet had not committed suicide over Romeo? And what if she, quote, ditched her famous ending for a fresh beginning and a second chance at life and love? Dash, her way. Her way.
Starting point is 02:23:02 You mean without a man? Or maybe her way as a man? Maybe she takes Romeo's place. Maybe she gets his clothes and she becomes a man. I don't know. She identifies as a Romeo. And then you have the other guy who's going to be celebrated in this Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. This other guy is Alex Newell, who says he's a female and he plays a female, uh, in a Broadway show called shucked shucked.
Starting point is 02:23:30 You know, it's, isn't it a shame that Broadway didn't stay closed? Just turn the lights out and keep them out. Uh, so 1 million moms said, um, this is liberal nonsense. We still cannot trust Macy's. Um, they had a, a trans pop star, uh, several years ago, but now they're back in spades here with this, an organization. She said that opposes the degradation of society. Um, 1 million moms, uh, they oppose the degradation of society through events such as MTV Music Awards,
Starting point is 02:24:08 which feature, quote, scantily clad performers and sexually suggestive choreography. That's another report. Well, you know, MTV has been that way from its inception. As I've said before, MTV has essentially destroyed music by making it all about sexualization and getting attractive young people to dance in a sexual way and having them auto-tuned. They don't have to be able to sing, right? And that's what's really happened to pop music. They've auto-t tuned it out of existence,
Starting point is 02:24:46 but they've added heavy doses of sexuality and that all came through MTV. So senior fellow for educational studies at the family research council said, listen to this. This is, this is I think an indication of the sad state of America. Because this person, Senior Fellow for Educational Studies at the Family Research Council, said, I hope there's a dog show or something possibly appropriate for family viewing on broadcast TV that day. What am I going to do if TV doesn't have something to entertain me?
Starting point is 02:25:29 Well, as a family research council, maybe you ought to start thinking about doing your own programming. How about creating your own activities and creating your own things to do to spend time with your family and use it as an opportunity to teach them? You know, in Deuteronomy 6, God says, you know, as you walk with your family in the way, you know, tell them about me. Show them about this. Wouldn't that be great on a day that we stop and think about God and what he has done for us and how we're thankful for that?
Starting point is 02:25:58 Wouldn't that be an opportunity to do that instead of, well, what's on television? Nothing. Oh, I can't believe it. You know, there's not even a dog show I can watch. Uh, there's so much to talk to with the kids about God on Thanksgiving day. And you can also talk to them about the founding of this country and you can tell them the true story about the founding of this country and tell them the truth about God. Uh, and you know, instead of, cause because you know they're going to be hit with all these marxist lies all the time and all this you know dei or i like to call it die the stuff
Starting point is 02:26:32 that is killing our society uh so maybe the family research council ought to understand that the way that you oppose these attacks on the family is by being a family, right? You can't win the culture war if you don't have culture and you can't beat the attacks on the family. If you don't build a family, it's just a given. I don't understand why that is so hard for people to understand by all means boycott. I can't boycott macy's because i never watched him in the first place i can't boycott bud light because i never drank it in the first place or the people that you know we're giving them money or this is this is what is so frustrating in my life you know it's like oh i don't use that i don't watch that anyway so i can't can't give it up uh but uh for people who are doing it, give up your dog show.
Starting point is 02:27:26 How about that? If you can find one on cable. So then we have Martha Stewart, the quote-unquote queen of Thanksgiving, as she's called by the Washington Examiner. She says she is turquied out this year, and she is canceling her turkey dinner this year. Martha Stewart known for her domestic goddess expertise,
Starting point is 02:27:54 says the Washington examiner for her expertise and managing a home and hospitality made a surprising announcement about her Thanksgiving plans. I gave up Thanksgiving. We are not doing Thanksgiving. Well, again, you know, just like this person at the Family Research Council, there's more about Thanksgiving than the turkey or the food or these superficial things, isn't it? And when I saw that, Martha Stewart made me think about the story of Jesus visiting Lazarus's household and his sisters, Mary and Martha. Remember that? Um, they were hosting Jesus and, uh, Mary was very
Starting point is 02:28:36 thankful for Jesus being there. Uh, and, uh, she set at his feet. She listened to what he had to say. And I didn't realize that Martha's last name was Stuart. The other sister is not interested in that. As a matter of fact, the other sister gets very upset with Jesus. And she says, I'm doing all this work. My sister has left me alone to serve everybody that's here. I've got a big crowd here. And I'm the one that has to do the turkey and all the rest of this stuff or whatever they were eating. And tell her to help me. Tell Martha Stewart, Martha Stewart says, tell Mary to help me.
Starting point is 02:29:11 And so Jesus says, Martha, you're really worried and troubled about a lot of different things here, aren't you? And he said, but one thing is needed. And Mary has chosen that. And that is something that is better. And that is something that is better. And that is something that cannot be taken from her. Maybe that's what we should be looking for this Thanksgiving rather than being a Martha Stewart. Look at all this work I'm going through. That's it.
Starting point is 02:29:42 I'm done. I'm resigning. I'm not cooking another thing. Yeah, don't stress yourself out for Thanksgiving. Don't be a Martha Stewart. She says, I've already cooked up 14 turkeys for my TV show, and I'm turkey'd out. Those friends, and so I told my friends, I'm canceling it. Don't come.
Starting point is 02:30:03 And so the person who was interviewing her says, well, they must be stressed out. She says, well, I hope so. Um, so, you know, don't want any of these friends around. I don't want the Turkey. I don't want the friends to come over. Uh, she is going to do her version. She said of a pub crawl, she's going to visit five different homes for Thanksgiving dinner. Well, that could be really dangerous for our health. You know, that's the problem. One of the big problems with Thanksgiving is that we overeat. But to go to five of these Thanksgiving dinners on one day, that's like a new record for calories, I guess, unless she's just going to come in and do a white glove inspection
Starting point is 02:30:39 of what they're doing. Can you imagine what these poor people, these poor women, in these five different homes, what they're going through and what they're doing. Can you imagine what these poor people, these poor women in these five different homes, what they're going through and what they're telling their husband? But I got Martha Stewart is coming. This is going to be perfect. They're freaking out trying to get everything
Starting point is 02:30:53 in just the right place because Martha Stewart is coming for dinner and they're troubled by many things, as Jesus would say. Upon hearing the news, Olivia Craighead, the cut, said, can you imagine the pressure on these homes? So send your thoughts and prayers to the women of Bedford, New York. Their entire social standing is going to rest on their green bean casserole.
Starting point is 02:31:26 So we don't want to make it about that. So what do we do? What do we do for Thanksgiving? As I said, it's an opportunity for us to talk to our kids and talk to our family members and things like that. But 61% of them don't want to talk politics on Thanksgiving. Well, that's fine. Don't talk politics. Politics, by the way, is downstream of culture bright that's an article from Breitbart they don't
Starting point is 02:31:48 mention that in their article but that's what Andrew Breitbart used to always say he said politics is downstream from culture it's one of the reasons why you know he had always cover movies and other things like that cultural stuff there Andrew Breitbart knew Matt drudge they were friends in California and so you know Matt drudge. They were friends in California. And so, you know, Matt Drudge does a lot of that stuff as well. Only now he, you know, is very much on the left side of that. But politics is downstream from culture. But culture is downstream from religion.
Starting point is 02:32:20 So, you know, it's more controversial maybe. But it's worth talking about. You know, politics is not necessarily worth talking about except to understand what these people are doing. But, you know, religion really does matter. It has eternal consequences. The politics may have huge consequences for this lifetime, but religion is going to have eternal consequences. So that's a discussion worth having.
Starting point is 02:32:40 A Quinnipiac University poll said 61% of people hope to avoid talking about politics at all during the holiday celebrations the survey also asked if there are ever arguments about politics at your thanksgiving celebration 75 of the people said no 19 said yes so that leaves another six percent who are undecided and since they don't know anything about politics or religion or anything else they just sat since they don't know anything about politics or religion or anything else they just sat there i don't know they talk about they talk turkey i guess um but it's always the undecided and i guess they are at peace on thanksgiving day this just contemplating uh the turkey uh democrats were the ones who are most likely to have political arguments about their Thanksgiving celebration.
Starting point is 02:33:25 What a surprise meathead, uh, who who's coming to dinner meathead. Yeah. Isn't it interesting when you look at, uh, Reiner and, uh, you realize that he was not acting at all. And the, and the, uh, own family is meathead opposite Archie bunker. That's just who he is. He's out there yelling and screaming at people who say they're going to run as third party candidates. You're going to destroy the country and all the rest of this stuff. He's just,
Starting point is 02:33:54 uh, so you can imagine if you had somebody like him, uh, you know, you would have arguments at the table. Uh, Republicans, about 18% of them,
Starting point is 02:34:02 um, say that there's political arguments 24 democrats 18 of republicans independence 15 and again you know the undecided have no arguments over politics decided anything matters uh they don't know anything that's going on so um and then you have joe biden as he pardoned the tur uh, turkeys, uh, the white house, which they always do for Thanksgiving. And, um, this story from Breitbart, uh, kind of jabs him for not knowing the difference between Taylor Swift, Britney Spears, and Beyonce. And for once I can, I can, uh, put myself in Joe Biden's place and excuse it, because I don't know the difference between them either. So he was talking about pardoning the turkeys.
Starting point is 02:34:54 They called them Liberty and Bell. He said they had to beat some tough odds and some competition to get here. They had to show patience and be willing be willing to travel over a thousand miles. Just imagine, you know, when they had to go through TSA, a Turkey security agency, and they asked them not why they're crossing the road, but why they're crossing the country, you know, they start doing their Mitch McConnell impersonations.nell impersonations um but uh anyway uh he went on with this he said you know it's harder than getting a ticket to the renaissance tour and breitbart says uh well that's seemingly referring to beyonce's tour but then he stammered on and muttered or or britney's tour she's down, it's kind of warm in Brazil right now, isn't it?
Starting point is 02:35:49 He must have seen something about the article about Taylor Swift fan dying in the heat in Brazil. And so that must be Britney that's down there. So who is he talking about? We don't really know. But again, I can relate to joe i wouldn't know any of these people i certainly wouldn't know any of their songs the only time i only have one of the songs of the three of them that i've ever heard i've heard one song a taylor swift song because i wanted to compare it to the johnny cash cover for artificial
Starting point is 02:36:19 intelligence that guy did uh you know i listened to it and it's like wow that really does sound like johnny cash and so i wanted to get a reference to the original one so i looked up taylor swift's song which i thought was amply named blank space and it was this auto-tuned garbage and i just listened to just a little bit of it went back and listened to the johnny cash artificial intelligence it was much better much more lifelike actually than her auto-tuned thing uh so again i don't know but you know and then in this uh this article you know they talk about the fact that taylor swift had the concert in brazil where a fan died of the heat 23 year old and um and they show pull it up travis and if you can and show the letter there from taylor swift that she put out to her fans i can't
Starting point is 02:37:13 believe i'm writing these words but it's with a shattered heart and so forth and so yes it's nice that she puts it up but i looked at this and it's like it looks like a handwritten note doesn't it except it's not a handwritten note. Look at the characters and each one of them, you know, every Y is the same and every I is the same and every vowel, every E is the same. Exactly. So it's a, you know, it's a font that looks like a handwritten thing. Why is it necessary for her to do that? Just you either do a handwritten thing or just type it up, you know, what you got to anyway. anyway um so maybe she could feed this into a computer and uh have it write a song for her or maybe even have it sing the song that it writes for her that's
Starting point is 02:37:52 what i guess is going to come up you know she's got a lot of lyrics there she could you know turn that into a song and so when we look at thanksgiving um this is a thing that you know sometimes we'll say well this is uniquely american but it's know, sometimes we'll say, well, this is uniquely American, but it's not uniquely American. We have some other countries that celebrate it in various forms. And so not necessarily at this time or not necessarily in this way or for these reasons, you know, that fold back into our history. But there are other countries that celebrate Thanksgiving. Australia, Thanksgiving was started after being brought over by whaling ships from America and Canada. It's kind of an American influence there that perhaps got that started.
Starting point is 02:38:35 A lot of them are tied into harvest seasons and things like that. It's also a lot of people say there's really only two countries, you know, the only other country that celebrates Thanksgiving in the same way that America does or for the same reasons is Liberia, which has been dominated by freed slaves. You know, it was one of the things the founders, when they looked at slavery, as Jefferson said, we've got a wolf by the ears. What do we do with this? And some of it was, I think, maybe self-deception in terms of, you know, having a, well, I can't really free them because how would they survive that type of thing? A kind of misplaced paternalism saying, you know, there's going to be people out to get them and that type of thing. And they've been, you know, dependent on us to take care of them. So, you know, it was like, well, what do we do with it? Well, some of them said, well, let's put them back in Africa, you know, put them back.
Starting point is 02:39:33 And so they essentially created the state, Liberia, of liberated slaves. And the descendants of those former slaves in America have pretty much been in charge of that country ever since. And one of the things that they did was to institute a very American style of Thanksgiving there in Liberia. In Grenada, they have a Thanksgiving holiday that is held on October the 21st. It isn't related at all to thankfulness or even to harvests. That's the day that the U.S.-led invasion occurred in 1983. So I guess they're saying that they're thankful the Americans are gone or that they survived the invasion of Grenada.
Starting point is 02:40:17 And so, again, in Liberia, they started doing it in the 1800s as they were freed into Liberia. They even celebrate it in honor of the pilgrims, uh, that were, uh, starting in America, uh, and the Netherlands, rather they have, um, they, they talk about the pilgrims that went to the new world. And, uh, a lot of people include Germany, um, in the middle of their October fest, they'll have like a harvest festival there, but a lot of these things, like I said, a lot of them are harvest festivals.
Starting point is 02:40:47 Some of the harvest festivals can be pagan festivals to Mother Earth or to the sun god or something like that. So, you know, the thing that's different about America is that it is really focused more so the first ones were thankfulness because of harvest and food but then it became uh thankfulness for god's provision and protection and things like that it became more and more focused on god although now we are turning in the other direction uh in canada they say well um you know we had a proclamation in 1957 but um and um and this is um governor general vincent massey uh and um called it a day of general thanksgiving to almighty god for the bountiful harvest with which canadians have been blessed uh and um kind of referred back to a uh harvest festival that was back in 1578 that the Canadians had. So they said, see, we were first.
Starting point is 02:41:51 We're not copying what you're doing. So whatever. I mean, it isn't really about any of that. But it is about looking to God and acknowledging his blessing in our life and what he's done for us. And that has been a thing that has been a bigger feature in the American Thanksgiving than in most of the other countries. As I was saying, in Australia, some of this stuff was brought in by Americans. They'll have sometimes two Thanksgivings there.
Starting point is 02:42:19 They'll have one in the summer, what we say is the summer, because that's actually their winter. Japan even does one. But Japan, it's like a Labor Day thing. Christianity and things like that are really not a big part of Japanese culture. And so usually a harvest-type celebration. But I thought it was interesting. A lot of people talked about, well, whatgiving uh really about what is its history what are we really doing with it uh jay warner wallace who i've interviewed says um um cold case christianity
Starting point is 02:42:56 who was a detective looking at cold cases and so he talked about why um when he was challenged why he uh when his wife challenged him he looked at well disprove this and then he looked at it and it's like well no i actually that does fit you know the the what these people are saying is we talked about earlier you know the as people getting to the end of their life and they want to uh talk about what they saw about the jfk assassination or they retire and they want to talk about the war of drugs by the CIA and how that is crooked, or they want to talk about 9-11 or something like that. They want to unburden themselves from that. And so in the same way, you know, he looked at this as a cold case
Starting point is 02:43:37 detective and he says, you know, we got a lot of these people, these martyrs. Martyr was the Greek word for witness. These were witnesses who were eyewitnesses to what had happened with Christ. And as they were undergoing persecution, they were given the choice of recanting this and saying, no, we lied, made it up, or they would die. That's a really powerful thing, that somebody would die rather than recanting what they had seen. You know, look at all these people who were intimidated about the JFK assassination or about 9-11. And, you know, some of them, some witnesses were killed in these events as well, who were
Starting point is 02:44:14 not intimidated and they were killed. But it is a very, when somebody is willing to put their life on the line and when somebody gives testimony and they're killed, that is a very powerful statement. And a lot of people don't really understand that. I got a letter from somebody and it says, well, what is all this stuff? The Bible, it's just a bunch of story fables that people put together. No, that's not how we got the Bible. You know, we talk about on Thanksgiving, we talk about God's providence, but of course there is the provenance of the Bible. How did it come to us? Who did it come from?
Starting point is 02:44:46 Oh, well, you know, this is just made-up stories about Jesus, who was a good moral teacher. Well, then the people who put together all these made-up fables about morality, then they were liars. Is that consistent with that? And do we have all these people who went to their death, who saw this stuff? No, that doesn't make any sense.
Starting point is 02:45:06 Anyway, Warner Wallace says the pilgrims who came over from England in the 1620s were in many ways just ordinary men and women. They had left their homeland, put themselves into this, you know, everything, all their possessions. They had nothing. They had nothing. You know, talk about Ellis Island. Well, people coming to Ellis Island, many of them had nothing. But the people who came as pilgrims, they really had nothing. You know, talk about Ellis Island. Well, people coming to Ellis Island, many of them had nothing.
Starting point is 02:45:26 But the people who came as pilgrims, they really had nothing. They had a lot of their stuff stolen as they were trying to escape England. They fled their homeland so they could pursue God in the way that they wanted to be true to the teachings of the Bible. The Mayflower, you know, we had a lot of people who came, as I've said before. You know, people who are coming here now are in many ways, I think, coming for free stuff because we're bribing them to come. We're using the welfare state as a magnet. Democrats want to do that so they can bankrupt the country.
Starting point is 02:45:53 But I said, you know, a hundred years ago when people talk about the Ellis Island experience, they were not coming for financial reasons. They were coming because they wanted to be free. Now, maybe their long-term plan was that if they were free, they were going to be free to work and save and to get wealthier than they were where they were. They were stifled. But nevertheless, they were not coming for a welfare state because there wasn't any welfare state. There wasn't any social safety net. They were risking everything. And clearly, the pilgrims who came were risking everything, but they weren't doing it for money. They were doing it for religious liberty. The Mayflower held more than
Starting point is 02:46:31 just separatist Puritans who wanted to get away from the official state church in England. The ship also contained other pilgrims who still remained loyal to the Church of England, but they came to the New World, some of them for economic reasons, or because they sympathized with the Puritans in one way or the other, but one thing was certain about everybody on the ship. Whether they were part of the Puritan group or simply along to assist them and to make a new life for themselves, everybody shared a fervent and pervasive Protestant faith that permeated all aspects of their life. So when the pilgrims made ground at Plymouth Rock, December 11th, 1620, they were also grounded in their faith as Christians.
Starting point is 02:47:13 So that's one of the reasons why they came up with the 1619 Project, to try to undercut the true founding of America. Because America was founded for people who wanted religious liberty, which also conveys as free speech and other things like that because you can't have religious liberty if you don't have free speech also. And so they wanted to cut down all those things. They wanted to cut down the foundation of America. So they come up with this, invent their new version of history, 1619 Project, which is total garbage, total invention.
Starting point is 02:47:44 But they were grounded in their faith as Christians. In less than a year, they had lost 46 out of 102 members, but they never lost their faith. At the end of the year, the harvest of 1621, the pilgrims decided to celebrate. The pilgrims brought with them both religious and secular customs from their homeland, and among those customs were the tradition of secular harvest festival and a tradition of religious holy days of Thanksgiving. These were two separate occasions for the original pilgrims, but both celebrations had strong religious overtones. Even the secular harvest celebration
Starting point is 02:48:21 included a religious component of thanks to the christian god who had provided the harvest in addition to this celebration the puritans also dedicated a day of thanksgiving that was purely religious in nature and so one pilgrim described it this way when he commented on psalm 23 the lord is my shepherd i shall not want he says our harvest has come in our governor sent four men fouling or hunting so that we might after our special manner rejoice together after we'd gathered the fruit of our labors they four in one day killed as much foul as served the company almost a week. Many of the Indians came amongst us, and their greatest king, Massasoit, was with some ninety men,
Starting point is 02:49:12 whom for three days we entertained and feasted. And they went out and killed five deer, which they brought. And although it be not always so plentiful as it was this time with us, yet by the goodness of God, we are far from want. So again, Thanksgiving was only one of three holidays that they would celebrate. They would also celebrate Sabbath, the day of humiliation and fasting, and this day of Thanksgiving and praise. In the early days, they didn't have it on a regular basis. It was an irregular basis. And it continued that way until 1676,
Starting point is 02:49:46 the governing council of Charlestown, Massachusetts, met to decide how to best express their thanks to God as they had just established themselves in a community and wanted to thank God in a public way. And so they did a declaration. And then you had George Washington, after the founding of the country in 1789. This is after the Constitution. There is no prohibition on the free exercise of religion.
Starting point is 02:50:14 There's no prohibition on the free speech of a president or any government official. In 1789, George Washington proclaimed a national day of thanksgiving and so um you know that's as the founding fathers as we pointed out franklin and many others were saying as they were putting together the constitution and talking about the war they looked to god for provision and protection during the war looked to thank him afterwards george washington signed the proclamation. And then in 1863, in the midst of the Civil War, Abraham Lincoln established Thanksgiving as a national holiday. And so it has remained that since. Thanksgiving, says Warner Wallace, was and still is founded on the Christian notion that we have something to be thankful for and someone to be thankful to.
Starting point is 02:51:09 And that's the key thing. And so, you know, we go back and we look at that as a guy began his comment on the 23rd Psalm. And he, you know, Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures, leads me beside still waters. He anoints my head with oil. And we understand many of those. I've heard a lot of people over the years talk about sheep,
Starting point is 02:51:36 not ever having been around sheep or owned any sheep, you know, all the different ways that, you know, David who was a shepherd would have known those types of things. Leading them besides still water, they need to drink, but they're so afraid of everything. They're afraid of any running water. The fact that they would lay down in green pastures, as many people said, sheep are so afraid of everything that everything disturbs them. And so the idea that you would be at rest and laying down, you know, as a shepherd, who's watching the sheep all the time, it's like, you know, how do we, how do we get them to,
Starting point is 02:52:10 you know, chill out? And, uh, and so it talks about all of that stuff. But then what is that about anointing my head with oil? Was that something that was different? Well, actually that is something that's about sheep as well. I just saw this was sent to me. And when you look at shepherds, they still do this. They still anoint their head with oil. Why do they do that? Well, there's a lot of pictures in that one little phrase there. As one person said, sheep can get their head caught in briars. They can die trying to get untangled. There are horrid little flies that like to torment sheep by laying eggs in their nostrils, which in turn turn into worms and drive the sheep to beat their head against a rock, sometimes beating themselves to death. Their
Starting point is 02:52:56 ears and their eyes are also susceptible to tormenting insects. So the shepherd anoints their whole head with oil, and then they have peace. That oil forms a barrier of protection against the evil that is trying to destroy the sheep. And so then they write, do you have times of mental torment? Do the worrisome thoughts evade your mind over and over? Do you beat your head against the wall trying to stop them? Have you ever asked God to anoint your head with oil? He has endless supply and his oil protects and it makes it possible
Starting point is 02:53:31 for you to fix your heart, your mind, your eyes on him today and always. There is peace in the valley. May our good God Father anoint your head Godfather. Anoint your head so that your cup overflows.
Starting point is 02:53:53 It's an important picture. And sometimes when we look at these word pictures, there's so much more there than we get out of it. You know, having been away from an agrarian society, Chuck Norris has his own analogy. Uh, he's not around sheep, but he's, he knows all about building muscles. Um, and so he says, you need to work on your gratitude muscles. He says only 19% of people say they are satisfied with the way things are going in our nation.
Starting point is 02:54:26 23% of the people say the country is headed in the right direction. Only 23%. Cost of everything is too high. We have incubators of anger around the country and the world. There's a powder keg happening in the international community of wars. There have been 61 attacks on the U.S. military since the 7th of October, the kickoff of this Israel-Hamas war, 61 attacks on U.S. forces. He said, however, earlier this year, UCLA Health reported on a multiple university study on the power of gratitude, and the researchers discovered
Starting point is 02:55:03 that gratefulness really is a medicine for the soul. It can make you healthier. It can make you happier. If you don't make the $1.7 million that they want, or you don't make the half a million dollars that millennials think they need to have, or you don't have a net worth of 1.7 million, gratitude can actually do it for you.
Starting point is 02:55:26 Really can. The researchers found that those who practiced a thankful attitude had better moods. They felt less stress and depression. They were less anxious. They enjoyed improved sleep, felt less hostile, had lower blood pressure, had lower risk of several disorders, including phobias, bulimia, and addictions like alcohol, nicotine, and even food. Researchers at UC San Diego came to a similar conclusion in their study after the University College of London had looked at the improvement in sleep quality and the decrease in blood pressure.
Starting point is 02:56:01 The San Diego study in 2016 of nearly 70 men and women at risk of heart failure asked the participants to keep a gratitude journal for eight weeks. Researchers found that the participants who kept a gratitude journal had lower levels of inflammation, a biomarker of heart failure. I guess we could say they had a grateful heart. As Dr. Chris Peterson, professor of psychology at the University of Michigan said, gratitude may not get people a new job or replenish their retirement accounts, but it can give them energy that they need to tackle their challenges.
Starting point is 02:56:39 Another professor of psychology said, when you express a feeling, you amplify it. So when you express anger or when you express worry, you get angrier. You worry more. And when you express gratitude, you become more grateful. Another psalm, Psalm 37. I've talked about this in the past. The word fret. It's the only time it's used, that Hebrew word in all the Old Testament. And if you look it up, what it is actually about is like kindling a fire and as he's writing about it he's talking
Starting point is 02:57:12 about how he's being oppressed and things that are bad things that are happening to him from people around him and he's saying don't fret about it don't fret about it right roll this off onto god uh anyway just as with physical exercise says chuck norris when we flex or push ourselves beyond our mental ability we also grow stronger inside um ucl health ucla health said that taking a moment to be thankful causes physiological changes in your body that initiate the parasympathetic nervous system, a part of the nervous system that helps you to rest and to digest. And so he said, so there's scientific evidence that this is the case and people have observed
Starting point is 02:57:52 this. Many of us have not gone to graduate school, but many of us have gone to gratitude school, right? Because that's one way that you need, one thing that you need in order to be able to get through life. And so let me just read this. You know, we're talking about the pilgrims, and there's a lot of Puritans who put together their writings, and somebody put together a collection of a lot of them. They called it the Valley of Vision. And so let me just read this about the family here. And this is, again, a Puritan prayer.
Starting point is 02:58:29 Talking about it. You are the creator father of all men. You have made and support them. You are the special father of those who know, love, and honor you, who find your yoke easy and your burden light and your work honorable. How little of your undeserved goodness has affected me, and how imperfectly I have improved my religious privileges. But he goes on to talk about the family. And this is what I wanted to focus on. As he looked at it,
Starting point is 02:59:08 in his prayer to God, he says, sanctify and prosper my domestic devotion, my instruction, my discipline, my example, so that my house may be a nursery for heaven. That's what I like about these pilgrimites. They have a different way to phrase things.
Starting point is 02:59:28 Think of your house as a nursery for heaven. Make my church the garden of the Lord, enriched with trees of righteousness. Let not those of my family who are amiable, who are moral, who are attractive, let them not fall short of heaven at last, because those things are not going to get you there. No matter how good you are, that's not going to get you there. Grant that the promising appearances of a tender conscience, a soft heart, and the delights
Starting point is 03:00:14 of your word be not finally blotted out, but bring forth judgment to victory and to all whom I love. Well, let me read some of the things that people have left.
