The David Knight Show - 23Aug23 Govt Starts Fires with High Wind, Refuses to Fight Fire, Residents Steal Equipment to Fight It Themselves

Episode Date: August 23, 2023

OUTLINE of today's show with TIMECODESUkraine — reports of drones grabbing wounded soldiers with claw-like appendage. Ukrainian government doesn't record or care where they're shooting cluster bombs as the USA doesn't care whether the war comes to USA. The war HAS come to Russia with daily suicide drone attacks (2:18)Govt Arson in Canada: People Steal Equipment to Fight Fires ThemselvesBack burns on a windy day done by government that then refuses to fight fires. Residents then steal government equipment and use it to fight fires themselves. You won't believe what government does NEXT to escalate… (21:00) Hawaiian Electric may go bankrupt as PG&E in California did after the Paradise fire. But it is RENEWABLE MANDATES that's driving the neglect of infrastructure and destroying reliability and affordability at the same time. (54:41)The first GOP debate is tonight and Larry Elder has a VERY LEGIT BEEF about being excluded at the last minute (1:15:26)Neither Trump NOR Biden want ANY debates. Imagine our surprise (1:32:06)So, how do the candidates stack up against each other for tonight's GOP debate?Why are they running, what do they appear to want? (1:39:08)What should Tucker ask Trump (that he won't ask) (1:52:23)Make America Gulag Again? Questions That DEMAND Answers "Pandemic" questions we should demand be answered will NOT be asked by Tucker, mainstream media, other candidates, or alt-right media. Jeffrey Tucker looks at the timeline of the plandemic to understand who was in charge (2:00:45) Trump is not going to pay legal bills of 18 co-defendants in Georgia. This is a VERY BAD idea. Here's why it plays into the hands of the prosecutor (2:26:33)Listener emails: Nursing homes & the TrumpShot, miscarriages, brith rates & the TrumpShot, and AI chat's take on Constitutional Sheriffs (2:37:40)Big Pharma's Candidates in the GOPThere's no better ROI (Return On Investment) than buying a politician. So who does BigPharma own that's running for President?

Music Using free speech to free minds. You're listening to The David Knight Show. As the clock strikes 13, it's Wednesday, the 23rd of August, year of our Lord, 2023. Well, today we're going to talk a little bit about the pre-debate show, what this reality TV show is really about, what may happen. Looks like it's going to be an effort to de-desantisize a race. And of course, this debate, you can spell that as B-A-I-T. They're trying to take the bait. But we're going to focus before that on government

arson. What is happening now in Canada? It is a pattern of behavior. Of course, it's been happening in Canada before, but now it's happening again. You actually have residents who are stealing equipment from the fire departments who don't want to use it to fight the fires in order to save their own homes. This is their plan to literally burn us out. And before we get to that, we'll talk about Ukraine, because they have a plan to bring war to us, not just arson. We'll be right back. A very bizarre statement has been picked up by the press from Chechen fighters who claim that Ukrainian drones with claws are abducting Russian troops. This is really, this is like straight out of the Wizard of Oz, the flying monkeys type of thing, you know, grabbing people and whisking them away.

Really strange. But who knows what is being done with, you know, with new military equipment. And of course, one of the reasons that we have these endless wars that we've had since the end of World War II, one of the main reasons is to use it as tests for the military-industrial complex. Incredibly strange. What they said essentially was that it was attacking wounded soldiers, grabbing them who could not defend themselves.

They said it was very difficult to shoot these things down. You basically had to use an RPG, something like that, to get these things down. You basically had to use a RPG, something like that, to get these things down. We are really unleashing forces that we don't comprehend, and it's not just new, strange implements of war. As we have Colonel McGregor, yet again, Colonel Douglas McGregor retired, warning us again, he's been one of the best voices on this thing.

He did an interview with Tucker. He said, this is a catastrophic war that could easily destroy us. It will reach us here in the U.S. if we continue to press Russia. Because again, it's not just the drones with the claws that are picking people up, but now they're using drone warfare against Russia. Because again, it's not just the drones with the claws that are picking people up, but now they're using drone warfare against Russia. It's kind of interesting. You stop and think back to 9-11. I thought it was always one of the interesting things about 9-11. And of course, Ramaswamy has brought this up in a very limited hangout way. Well, we need to know if there was any federal agents on those planes and other things like that. Seriously, is that your issue with 9-11?

You don't have an issue with buildings that fell down in controlled demolition? You don't have an issue with the fact that there was three buildings that fell down in New York and only two planes? You don't have an issue with any of that? And when you look at the planes, whether they are, some people say, well, I think it was a Project Blue Beam illusion. Some people say, well, perhaps they were drone flown planes. I thought it was kind of interesting. We knew that there was some capability to remotely pilot commercial jets because there had been test crashes and things like that in the past where they would fill an airline with dummies and then and cameras on the inside

and then pilot it and crash it into the ground it's not difficult to remote pilot a plane if you don't have to actually land it and so we'd had that type of thing before, but remember how all of a sudden it was drones, drones, drones, drones, drones, just a couple of weeks after nine 11, when they hadn't talked about that at all, not at all. They didn't want to talk about that before nine 11. And then you had the strange thing about Ken Olson's wife who supposedly was talking to him on the phone with her cell phone. And, uh, you know, we, uh, just so that people would not, would not realize that that really wasn't possible. Uh, they put in strict bans on people using cell phones on planes, uh, and tell you that you had to turn it off. You couldn't just put it in an airplane. Well, you got to turn it off. Well, here's a dirty little secret.

I never did. Just to prove to myself, I knew I wasn't risking anybody's lives. If there was interference with the cell phone frequencies and the equipment on the airplane, here's a hint. They'd never be able to take off, right? Because where is it strongest? On the ground, especially in airports

where everybody's basically using their phones, but it's very high there. It's not going to interfere. They're different frequencies. Do people not understand how you've got different radio stations and you have FM and AM radio stations as well as different frequencies within those spectrums. Did they not understand that? That was such a total idiocracy that people would think that that's going to somehow bring the plane down. It's one of these things like masks and six-foot distancing.

Urban legends were turned into regulations. And so getting back to Ukraine, most Americans know nothing about Ukraine, said McGregor. If they knew anything about the history of Eastern Europe, they would say get out. Because the wars and the blood and the hatred that's been fought over centuries is something that we cannot sort out. Just like the Middle East, isn't it? Just get out. And that was what Reagan did after the terror attack in Beirut, killing a couple hundred Marines. He said, these people are always going to be fighting each other.

Let's just get out of here. He wasn't worried about his image, his pride, and all the rest of this stuff. He made the right decision to get out of there. McGregor notes that President Biden has enabled combat pay. He says, so this implies that American forces are on the ground in Ukraine. They're going to give them combat pay. Or they're about to send them in. He said it would be a mistake to think that Russian forces do not know where they are,

he said. If you think you can hide from us, if you come in here, if you cross these borders, we will annihilate you, which is a message that Russians have sent out. He summed up the situation in Ukraine. He said, if we press this war with Russia in Central East Asia, it will reach us here in the United States. And he's absolutely right. And quite frankly, I think that's the plan.

We have a government. It'd be bad enough if we had know-nothing politicians who've never created anything, who've never successfully managed anything. It'd be bad enough if we had know-nothing politicians who are designing our cars and designing our electric grid and all the rest of these things, our homes, our appliances,

and tell us how we're going to be allowed to do it and so forth. And just making these edicts and say, okay, here's what you're going to do from here on. And the engineers are going to have to figure out how to do this in the timeframe that we give you. And you're going to have to figure out how to pay the higher prices because we're going to mandate such and such at such and such a time. It'd be bad enough if it was just stupidity and arrogance and dictates. But these politicians today have

decided that they want to destroy us, destroy our country. And it's not just the American politicians. It's really kind of centered here know, we've been the arsenal for democracy. Now we are the arsenal for the global depopulation takedown with the vaccines that Trump created. I have an excellent article, two of them, as a matter of fact, from Brownstone. One of them is, the writer says, if only I could interview trump here are the questions

that i would ask him about 2020 that tucker will not ask and then there was another one that was even better by jeffrey tucker i carried it brownstone, talking about the timeline and what is going on behind it. You understand, of course, that Fauci was not even really the one who was running the country. He was the front man of Donald Trump. The presidents are run by the intelligence community, right? We know that. We've seen that over and over again. And Trump stepped down and let the front man be

but the people were really running it was the intelligence agency and jeffrey um uh jeffrey tucker really breaks that down so um when we look at what their plans are burning down our country destroying our energy taking away our food, even telling us we can only buy three articles of clothing a year. That's the C40 agenda. The 40 cities started by Bloomberg when he was mayor of New York City and also London. There's two cities that are bastions of tyranny.

They created the C40 organization. It's now spread to not 40 cities, but 100 cities. And they want to burn down everything that we have. They want to burn down our infrastructure. They're not going to fix the roads, not going to fix the electrical distribution. Instead, we're going to put in things to destroy it. And all of these demands from Biden and from the World Economic Forum and all the rest of this is set up to destroy our infrastructure. And they're proud

of the fact that they're not maintaining it. They're not maintaining the roads. They don't want cars. They're not maintaining the electrical infrastructure because they don't want us to have power. Net zero means net zero everything, including especially power. But getting back to Ukraine, because that is a more obvious direct threat than a lot of people can see, McGregor says the smartest thing we could do is end this war now. The Russians will never tolerate NATO forces on Ukrainian soil. Ukrainian forces are in a piecemeal fashion, surrendering to the Russians, not because they don't want to fight. It's because they can't fight anymore.

They have so many wounded, they can't evacuate them. We're going to see this army that we have spent so heavily on just melt away. When it comes to equipment being used to fight, he said, a lot of the equipment we've sent over there is quite frankly obsolete. It's very old. It's not new. Integrated air defenses will knock virtually everything that flies out of the sky. We will then fall back on a nuclear deterrent, a tactical nuclear weapon that says if you keep advancing, we'll have to use a nuclear weapon. Well, we don't want to go there, he said, because the notion that there are so-called tactical nukes, oh, well, it's just a little nuke. So that won't precipitate a nuclear war.

Any nuclear weapon and the use of any nuclear weapon is going to precipitate an escalation very rapidly. You're not just a little bit pregnant and you're not just a little bit of a nuclear war. And, um, so, uh, when we talk about the weapons that they're sending over, uh, it was, it was said before, and I remember covering it about a month ago, the fact that they want to send them F-16 jets, but they don't have very many, uh, pilots. It was only one, I think about a third of them or something, could even speak English. I said, how is that going to work? Well, guess what? It's not going to work. You got European countries that want to give Ukraine their F-16s, but of course, the United States has the final say on that, and they have to be trained by the U.S., and the U.S. says, well, you're going to have to speak English. Before they learn how to fly the F-16, they've got to learn how to speak English.

Otherwise, it's going to be total chaos. It'll be the control tower of Babel. But, you know, our military is out there rebranding itself with ads to recruit people in Spanish. Yeah, that's right. Yeah. We want to have, uh, uh, an army, an air force that can't communicate with itself. Right. Because who cares?

They're going to sit there and they're going to contemplate their genitals and you know, what their makeup and their costume is going to be. Are they a furry or are they a fighter? We don't know. We don't care because the plan is to start wars and to lose them you see so moscow is being hit by a fresh wave of kamikaze drone attacks and um they had one that got pretty close as they took it out it was close enough that the explosions from the uh anti-aircraft stuff that took down the drones

blew out windows shattered debris on a bunch of cars and damaged them they had to suspend all air traffic first so that they could get the drones i guess that's one of the the key things with the drones if they can get in there and move quickly enough, it's difficult for them to take down the drones without shooting down the planes that are in the sky, the passenger planes and other things like that. Then there was a second one that was taken down to the west of Moscow. So two drone attacks in just the last day. And we think that this is not going to come to America. We think that Putin and the rest that this is not going to come to America. We think that Putin and the rest of them are just going to put up with this forever.

Meanwhile, what are they doing to their own country? Well, they have absolutely no concern about the massive number of casualties, as I pointed out yesterday. As a matter of fact, we have somebody in the Pentagon saying that the Ukrainians are just too casualty-averse. Come on, guys. Suck it up. You don't care if you die or whatever. For what cause, right?

They're just too casualty averse. About a half a million of them, by one estimate. Who knows? Nothing but lies and the fog of war coming out from both sides. And yet we do see this from antiwar.com. They say Ukrainian military officials suggested to the Washington Post that Ukrainian forces are not documenting where they're using the U.S. provided cluster bombs in Ukraine, despite assurances the Biden administration said it received. The official, who would only go by his first name, Stanislav, detailed Ukraine's use of cluster bombs,

which scatter small subunitions all over large areas and are extremely hazardous to civilians. They don't explode. They hang around for years, for decades. And here's the key issue. This is why you have to keep track of where you use them because so many of them are not going to explode and they become like landmines maiming and killing people for decades and we've seen this everywhere they've

been used this is why most countries have outlawed them and but of course ukraine is not organized enough or doesn't care enough about their own people. Again, you know, Restovich callously said in 2019 to a Ukrainian reporter, yeah, we're going to be at war with Russia in three years. Oh, that's horrible. No, the country is going to be havoced. It's going to be completely destroyed. That's really horrible, she said. So no, the good thing is we get to get into NATO. They don't care. They don't care what happens to their own country, their own people. They're not going to keep tabs on where they put these cluster bombs everywhere.

And so they are estimating, the New York Times, because these are older cluster bombs that we're sending. They're known as dual- purpose cluster bombs. Maybe, you know, the dual purpose, I don't know what the dual purpose is. Maybe it's to destroy the area, you know, to make a landmine out of it forever. And this is in addition to all the landmines that Russia has put. This is why they can't make any progress. Russia has just saturated the place with landmines. And so now they're going to saturate the place with cluster bombs as well.

It's going to be a no-go zone. They don't have the equipment to pull all this stuff out. People will die trying to get this stuff out of there, die and be mutilated. And so the New York Times says these older dual-purpose cluster bombs have a failure rate of about 14%. In other words, about 14% of them do not explode. They hang around to explode later as landmines. And because of the high dud rate, as they point out, and it's not that it's a dud. It's just that it didn't explode on impact. It'll explode later when somebody steps on it, when a kid plays with it.

There's a U.S. law that you can't transfer, produce, or use any cluster munitions that have a dud rate of over 1%. The dud rate for this is 14 times that, 14%. So to get around that, he used, his administration used, I don't know if Biden has any clue as to what's going on. The Biden administration got around the obscure provision, using the obscure provision of the Foreign Assistance Act that allows the U.S. to provide weapons regardless of export controls if the president determines doing so is a vital national security interest, even though continuing to fuel a proxy war against the world's largest nuclear-armed state is a huge risk to U.S. national security.

How in the world can you make a case that Ukraine is a vital interest to us? It's not. Our vital interest is to disengage from this. Our vital interest, our moral interest, would be to try to stop the war and stop the killing. A pragmatic interest would be to try to stop a war that we're losing, that our surrogates are losing. And so 120 countries have banned the use of these weapons, but the Biden administration will always find some kind of a legal prevarication to do whatever they wish. When we come back, we're going to talk about government arson

that is being directed against us and the very obvious case of what is happening in Canada. We'll be right back. Thank you. You're listening to The David Knight Show. Rock and roll, the cola wars, I can't take it anymore. We didn't start the fire. It was always burning since the world's been turning. We didn't start the fire. But when we are gone, we'll still burn on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on. Yeah, who started the fire? And who is not helping to put it out?

Well, that would be the Canadian government in both of these instances. We're going to talk about what's happening in British Columbia. We've had the Canadian fires that are famously fogging up the East Coast. Those were on the eastern side of Canada. But now we have fires in British Columbia. And these fires were admittedly started by their own government and their government is not helping people to do it. So the people are actually out there stealing fire equipment to fight the fires themselves

to protect their homes. Folks, that's where we are right now. That is exactly where we are. And before we get into that, I just want to finish up one more time with what is happening, the tripwires of arson, the fire hazards being put all over our country with these BESS systems, B-E-S-S, the Battery Energy Storage Sites. These things are an essential part of the renewable energy mandates that have been put in by all the different governments. I played that clip for you a couple of days ago of what I was doing in 2009 to fight this, and we didn't realize that we were actually doing firefighting we thought that we were fighting unreliable electricity at a much much higher rate

that was going to be forced upon us and unworkable energy because at that time as I showed you in that video there was no battery storage availability at all. And so what would happen is as the intermittent solar and the intermittent wind, especially wind is very intermittent, as that was fluctuating going up and down, as we explained in the video, it's like driving your car. They would have to fill in the spots there with the functioning, working, traditional power plants that run off of functional fuel, not fossil fuel, functional fuel. And so you'd have to cycle them up and down to keep the power grid at a steady state. The power grid must be at a steady state.

That's the key thing. If it's fluctuating up and down, you're getting brownouts, you're getting blackouts, but it's playing havoc with a lot of industrial stuff that cannot handle that could shut down entire factories, uh, have to reboot. And so at the time, as Colorado was doing it at the first,

and that's where we had the lawsuit was against Colorado, a lawsuit saying state, uh, must not, cannot, uh, do renewable energy mandates. We lost that lawsuit. And look at where we are 14, 15 years later.

It's happening all across the country, not just in, you know, leftist, environmentalist places like Colorado. Happening in here in Tennessee, happening in Arizona, and of course also places like California and New York, and they've had their fires, and the same thing has happened in Australia. As I showed you, the Australian fires.

This is Tesla's Megapack fire, two of them on fire. This happened after they put them in. Look at how many of them there are. They were fortunate that it did not spread to the other ones that were there. And as the fireman comes on, he says, well, we're just going to have to let this thing burn out because it's not possible for us to fight this kind of a fire. It's too difficult for us to put it down. So this is what they want to put everywhere, what you just saw there on fire. And we've had big fires in California and New York and other places like that.

It puts out toxic smoke. In the case of Australia, they said, well, the good news is it's out here in the wilderness. Smoke isn't going to get close to people. But that's not what they're doing in California, Tennessee, Arizona, and New York. They're putting it right next to heavily populated areas to burn them out. And when you look at the cost involved and the other practical aspects, none of this makes any sense unless you view it from their agenda, which is to take everything away from us, including affordable energy. And the energy will be taken away from us even if you can't afford it. They're going to

have rolling blackouts and that type of thing. So to stop from having to cycle the plants up and down, which as we pointed out in the video, is like the starting and stopping traffic in the city. You use more fuel, you have more emissions versus just driving it at a steady state, like on the highway. I said, so they're misusing these reliable functional fuel plants. We have oil, gas, coal, that type of thing. And so um, so they want to continue shutting those down, whether they've got anything to replace it or not, whether they've got anything that is going to be steady state. But now Elon Musk has come in to make himself the world's richest man to make himself even richer. He's got a scheme. He's going to put those battery packs out there,

which have all the same fire hazards as, you know, a electric scooter that burned down so many different buildings in New York over this last year. It's unbelievable. People will bring these electric scooters and they'll put them in the lobby and they'll charge them and they catch fire overnight. We've seen spontaneous fires of electric vehicles are banned in German garages because of that. We've seen spontaneous fires from electric buses that have been banned. In Germany, burned two different stations that had massive fires. One of them burned down in Stuttgart, burned down the entire station. You've had one of the electric semi companies has had one of their own trucks spontaneously combust in their own place.

And so now let's keep scaling it up. You know, we go from a scooter to a car to a bus to a semi to a power grid. And it's a big problem. And at the time they put this out, that one that you saw burning there in Australia, that was one of the first places, if not the first place, that Elon Musk put these things in. If you recall, he went to them several years ago. I think it was like 2015 or 16 or something like that. Maybe it was as late as 17.

And he said, okay, so you're having problems with power distribution because this area there was South Australia was real excited to get into the green stuff early. And he said, I'll put this in. He gave them some kind of a timeframe, like I'll get it installed in one month or three months or something like that. And if I don't do it in that amount of time, you don't have to pay me. That was his gimmick. Well, he knew how long they would get that put in there. And he got paid. He got paid all the money. And then the thing later burst into fire.

But in the video where he was talking about putting it in, this was a comment that was on it at the time. The person said, Tesla's 100 megawatt, 129 megawatt hour battery pack at 55 million dollars ain't going to do zip when south australia's wind output drops 900 megawatts just when demand rises 1400 megawatts in the late afternoon in the middle of a heat wave as it did in febru this year, pushing electricity prices above $1.30 per kilowatt hour. Just six hours of the lost 900 milliwatts requires 5,400 megawatt hours of storage, 42 times what Tesla's battery storage provides. And then they were down, they were, sorry, still down 200 megawatts below the average for the next 24 hours of the heat wave.

And then he looks at the cost. He says $8.3 thousand for average kilowatt output just to cover one part of the missing wind during a hot spell. Do you see all the problems with this? We've got problems with insufficient capacity. We've got problems with reliability. We've got problems with insufficient capacity. We've got problems with reliability. We've got problems with affordability. These people want to take everything from us. They want to make everything unaffordable. The cars are unaffordable. You've got Sadiq Khan, as I pointed out yesterday. Well, we're going to have ultra low emission zones, which means only zero emission cars. So go out and buy a brand new electric vehicle,

which is more expensive than a brand new car. And guess what? Most people can't afford to buy a brand new car, let alone a brand new electric vehicle. So if you move your car one inch, we're now going to put up surveillance cameras and we're going to hit you with 15 us dollars, uh, fine every day. If you just move it just a little bit, that's the response. It is a let them eat cake kind of arrogance from these elitists who have designed to take everything from us. Our money, our power, our food, our clothing, our travel, everything from us, especially our liberty. They seek to take our identities from us. Biometric scans, DNA scans, databases, surveillance, constant tracking, constant profiling.

We cannot accept this. And one of the places that we have to stop this is the power rollout. And this is, again, here in conservative Tennessee, you have TVA, the Tennessee Valley Authority, which is essentially so heavily into ESG, environmental and social governance, that they can't see all of these practical issues or they don't care about them. That's the key thing. With ESG, they don't care. And they want to do this not just at this one site in Tennessee.

They want to do it not just at this one site in Tennessee. They want to do it at 20 sites in Tennessee. The TVA, the Tennessee Valley Authority. They're your problem in Tennessee. You've got to stop the TVA because they're going to keep doing this. There was massive pushback at this first place, which was in Dandridge area, Jefferson City area. And we have a picture of it. Let's see. Yeah, here it is right here.

And so on Facebook, Travis started following this to see what was happening here locally. A person put up there, woohoo residents, thanks to Stephanie Poor and a lot of us showing up, they denied the lithium battery plant. Now we all just have to keep an eye on the zoning commission and our commissioners that anything like this never gets considered again. Well, they said the lithium battery plant,

but I don't think it's the plant. I think it's the battery energy storage site, BESS system. They have an acronym for it, BESS, B-E-S-S. I think that's what they're talking about. And the newspaper clippings that were sent to me by people in Tennessee said that even that they said, well, we're not going to allow that to be there. But they said the company, which stands to make a great deal of money, is going to sue in court.

So there's going to be a lawsuit about it, and they're going to have to stand firm on that lawsuit. They, who knows, maybe if the, you know, the county commissioners come in and they vote it down 16 to 1, and they can say, well, we did everything we could, but we lost in court. Well, maybe they won't fight it too hard in court. What about that? And even if they went in court, the TVA is going to keep pushing and pushing and pushing to put these things in residential areas, to put them in the middle of heavily wooded

forestry areas to create a fire. And so I'm not so sure that we won. We've got to fight this ESG TVA. But here's Canada. Let's talk about Canada. This was also sent to me. This is a letter that's being put out by some people who live in British Columbia. Shuswap, I guess, S-H-U-S-W-A-P, British Columbia, said, we need to get this story out about what's happening in shoe swap can you guys please post this everywhere please send it to everybody you know so somebody sent it to me and we're going to try to reach out and get in touch with them because you put a phone number

there and we're going to try to get them on to give their account but this is what they had to say she said my name is steph and my husband joran and i own a home at the end of meadow creek road in salista british columbia the fire department and forestry lit a backburn around 4 p.m on thursday august the 17th knowing between 15 and 20 miles per hour winds coming. And so they light a fire under those circumstances. What's the matter with them? This is the fire department that is lighting the fire. I mean, this makes about as much sense as the firemen in Fahrenheit 451. You know, there they were called firemen because they were lighting fires

and they were burning books and libraries. That's what these firemen apparently are. They don't know that you don't start a fire when there's high wind conditions at 20 miles an hour coming. They know that. They know that. No news outlet is talking about this. My husband has been monitoring the winds and the Adams Creek fire for weeks.

On Tuesday, August the 15th, we knew the winds were coming. The fire was approximately 15 kilometers away from us. That's maybe about eight miles away or something. We don't know who decided to light a backburn knowing the wind forecast. They lit a 14-kilometer backburn right up to our back door and never notified us. My dad, who lives in Kelowna, knew about an out-of-control backburn before we did. They didn't even come and tell us. They just notified the locals by posting it on a piece of paper at the gas station.

You know, we've seen this type of thing. As a matter of fact, this isn't just Canada where this is happening. If you remember what preceded the Malheur standoff with Hammond Bundy and other people in Oregon. It was a ranching family called by the name of the Hammonds. And it was a similar situation where the federal government, I think it was the BLM, went in and set a backburn. Backburns are sometimes done to control overgrowth and to minimize fires, but they can get out of control. And so they do that kind of stuff all the time. And the Hammonds set their own backburn to protect themselves from that. burnt less than one acre, less than one acre in this massive rural area,

less than one acre of federal land, which was nothing but a bunch of scrubbing grass anyway. It wasn't even any trees. And so the government came after them, charged them with arson and with terrorism. It was outrageous. And they were going to send that family to jail. And so Emmond Bundy and others got together and said, we're going to stand here and not let them take the Hammonds off to jail. And the Hammonds said, no, no, don't do it.

We'll go to jail. And they went to jail for several years. And then they were pardoned by Trump, not the very end of all of it, when Trump was mainly focused on Jared Kushner's white-collar criminal friends. But prior to that, they pardoned the Hammonds, which was a good pardon. It's a good thing that he did that, and I applauded that when he did it, or whoever did it.

But that was what was involved there and so the government has in many cases you know this is just one one acre less than an acre i think of uh woodlands that um not even woodlands but grasslands that were burned but the government does backburns all the time and they get out of control all the time that's here here in America as well. But there, look at this. They do it right up to them. They don't give anybody any notice. They do it under high wind conditions. She said, at 8.45 p.m., we saw the fire just over the ridge.

And by 12 p.m., it had reached the Meadow Creek Road and was in the backyard. And as a matter of fact, I've also had people send me pictures of what is happening with the British Columbia fires. Here's one of them. They're very extensive now. You know, you light a fire in wooded areas where it's dry and you've got 20 mile an hour winds. This is what you get. Imagine our surprise. So she said, without the backburn, we could have had a whole day to prepare.

We did have sprinklers up, water tanks loaded, generators ready to go. We knew that we were pretty much on our own and would not receive much help. The fire department did come down the road and were there briefly. Once they deemed the fire out of control, they left. When the fire came into the valley, we watched it burn up the sides of the mountain due to the humidity dome created with all the sprinkler and water. The fire department abandoned us. About two hours had passed when some locals came down our valley with resources and with help. I was notified that the fire department was sitting in a field having coffee.

So I went to get them. When I got there, I asked them to come help us and I told them the situation. One of the firemen told me they wanted to help, but they had orders to sit. I yelled at them to get in their trucks and come and help us. They said they would. I went back down the road to notify our own crew that they were coming. I sat and waited, but no one came. About 15 minutes went by, so I went back up the road and found them sitting about a kilometer away. I told them they were assessing the situation.

I asked, how could they assess it if they couldn't see it? I again asked them to come help. They finally did. Everyone ran around putting hot spots out. We wore water packs and half masks with headlamps for the next three days, making sure our houses made it through. And here's another picture of it from a further out distance. In the initial days after the super fire,

the locals were able to get water, gas, and supplies. But now there is a heavy police presence. Oh, well, I guess they're going to do something about it. These people are protecting their homes, so send in the police to stop that, right? They have the roads blocked off, saying that they're there to prevent looting, and the locals are being told to return to their homes. They're not allowed to be helping at all. There are spike strips on the road to blow out tires if people try to drive over them. There are police blockades everywhere. There are people trying to get essential supplies in, such as water, gas, and food by boat, and they are being

turned away. Police are patrolling the roads and water. They have the gas stations blocked off. We need to get the real story out so that we can get help. This is war. This is war. This is our government working to burn us out. And this particular case, there's no question of whether or not this is some kind of directed energy weapon or anything like this. This is why I say, and this is why I got angry about the directed energy weapon. It's like, fine, you want to investigate this, that's fine. But we know what the government is doing. The government is directly creating these situations by their ESG and the TVA here in Tennessee, putting in these battery energy storage sites.

They're creating these situations. They're storage sites. They're creating these situations. They're creating disaster. They're creating scarcity. They're creating poverty with higher energy rates. They're creating unreliable electric grid. They're doing all this stuff deliberately. And we're going to sit here arguing about directed energy weapons because Stu Peters wants to get a bigger audience?

Or Mike Adams? That's what this is about, folks. Look, they will give you stuff like this so that you chase your tail. They will give you stuff like this that you can't prove. And they'll say, oh, these people are just idiots. A bunch of conspiracy theorists. You get focused on the sensational details and speculation that you can't prove, and you ignore all of this stuff that is happening? And you ignore what they're doing to deliberately slow motion destroy our country? And then at times they'll come in and just light the fires themselves. It's just that simple. I wonder, did the Canadian crews, did they use directed energy weapons or did they just use a match to start those fires, right?

That's not the issue. As I said from the very beginning, when you talk about what is happening on the eastern part of Canada, the issue is why can't you put the fires out? Well, it's because of forestry mismanagement. And that is deliberate. That is part of their religion of environmentalism. Don't touch the forest. It's all natural and all the rest of this stuff.

And so they want you misdirected. And the media is happy to misdirect you because they get all the traffic. What I'm telling you is not sensational, unfortunately. It's malicious. It's criminal. But it's not sensational enough. We can't get excited enough about this type of situation or about the massive transfer of wealth while they set us up to be poor and to burn our homes down.

We can't get excited about that. It's got to be directed energy weapons or something like that. Um, and which it's their standard operating procedure to throw out, uh, you know, nuggets like that to misdirect people. And then to say, well, these are a bunch of deranged lunatics. Don't pay any attention to them. There's not really any fire problems at all. So she said, they're trying to starve us out,

so they let it burn. And that's what they're doing. Justin Trudeau is yelling at Facebook as some of the people say, we refuse to watch things burn. There's a picture there, Travis, a show that article there from Breitbart. They've got a guy there who's got some fire equipment. He's just fighting it himself. Government officials in British Columbia urged residents of wildfire affected areas this weekend to stop taking

hoses, sprinklers, and other firefighting gear from the government's rescue teams, lamenting that critical equipment is disappearing. Now, this is something that they want to keep in their stash or something, but, you know, hey, don't use that to put a fire out. Residents who spoke to CTV News confirmed that civilians are taking the equipment and trying to put out the fires themselves. They also said that in many regions, civilians are the only groups of people actively trying to put out fires. Gordon Favell, a resident of Solista, said, we refuse to watch these things burn. It doesn't matter if it's yours. It doesn't matter if it's locked up. Get it, put it to use, put some fires out, he said. That's what's going on here. This is locals helping

locals. The desperate acts by Canadians feeling abandoned by their, no, they are, they're worse than abandoned. You know, the Canadian government has sent now the police in to lock them up and to lock them away from supplies that could help. It highlights, and to stop their mobility, putting things on the road to blow out their tires, these strips. It highlights a growing tragedy,

one of the most devastating wildfire seasons in Canadian history, exacerbated by a lack of government forest management. No, they're managing it. They're just mismanaging it, right? It's like what the Bundy said about the Bureau of Land Management. They're not trying to manage anything except to manage us off of the land. That's one of the ways that you do it. You burn people out.

And the slow responses from government to the emergencies. Trudeau has blamed the fires on climate change rather than addressing the need for improved forest management or the development of more robust federal-level firefighting protocols. Going back to 2014, I reported on this. This is at the point where Obama started rolling out all of these MRAPs everywhere. Small towns in New Hampshire and other places like that. The mine-resistant armored personnel carriers that they had rushed to completion

to fight the improvised explosive devices in Iraq. They had a lot of issues. These things were white elephants in terms of maintaining them. The military wanted to get rid of them. And in the past, what they have done is they've, ever since World War II, when the government would retire surplus equipment, they would give it typically to rural firefighting departments. Because it's always the case that these rural firefighting departments,

which are on the edge of large forestry areas where a fire can get out of control, especially if you have the deliberate mismanagement that these people have done where they don't remove any deadwood or undergrowth and that type of thing. It is a fire hazard. And so you have these rural fire departments. Most of them are volunteer. They don't have a lot of money. A lot of people or equipment.

And so they would typically give this stuff to the firefighters in those areas. But what Obama did was he started giving surplus military equipment that was really for riot control. He was giving it to local police departments. And he wasn't really giving it to them. They would put it there and they would say, we're retaining ownership of it, but here you have to maintain it. And that was incredibly expensive. And so some of the sheriffs gave that stuff back. They said, this is a white elephant.

The whole white elephant thing was in India. If the Raj or whoever wanted to, the elephants were sacred. And so you had to take care of them. So if he really wanted to make somebody's life miserable, he would give them an elephant. Then they would be responsible for feeding it and keeping it alive, eating them out of house and home. That's the whole thing about a white elephant. That's what these MRAPs became. They became white elephants. And so as he was doing this in an unprecedented

way, giving all this stuff to these sheriffs. As I pointed out, you understand that the Pentagon is retaining ownership of this. They're having it maintained at the expense of the local sheriff and community. And then if they decide that they want to go to war with the American people, the Pentagon can swoop in and say, well, this belongs to us and they're going to use that against the very people who've been maintaining this white elephant for them. So that was one big issue right there. And then it got even more absurd because as he was ramping up and giving surplus equipment to police departments, which they'd never done before, they cut the equipment given to fire departments, which they had been doing since World War II. Now, when that happened, the volunteer

fire departments are, you know, these are guys who are very committed and active in their community. They got together and they contacted their senators in several states, and the senators got active, and they changed that. Within about a month to two months, they completely reversed that, and they resumed that program of giving surplus equipment to the rural areas. But again, it just shows where these people are. Their priority is a militarized police force to keep us under control while they let our homes burn. That's the bottom line.

That is the globalist agenda. And it doesn't matter if you've got Trump or Biden or Trudeau, they're all following that globalist agenda, just as they did throughout the so-called pandemic. The fires has spanned almost the entirety of Canada's territory. In June and July, much of the worst of the destruction was occurring in the East, particularly Quebec,

where the government bizarrely rejected firefighters from Toronto. Oh, we don't want any firefighters in here to do this. Let's stay there. We got it. They waited for imported help from South Korea, Chile, France, and some other nations. So what is going on with that? They said gear that would protect dozens of homes is being moved to areas that are ineffective, said the British Columbia Wildfire Service in a public statement,

lamenting that equipment, quote, has disappeared entirely and is suspected to be stolen. They described hoses, pumps, and even all-terrain vehicles disappearing from the possession of firefighting crews, particularly in North Shuswap, where this lady was riding. Where the locals said the province is not sending enough help to defend their homes, even with hundreds of firefighters battling the inferno. How'd they battle the inferno? Oh, they sit over and have a coffee break. Way away from the front lines.

Authorities indicated that the thefts appear to be on the part of residents trying to fight the fires. No evidence suggests that gear is being stolen for resale or for any other nefarious purpose. It's just to do what they will not do. The government of the Northwest Territories, CTV News explained in an article on monday has largely focused on defensive measures such as trying to protect the regional capital yellow knife rather than

offensively trying to put out the fires and that's the same type of thing that's in yellow knife the same type of thing happened in yellowstone i remember um uh let's see. It was probably about 20 years ago. I'm guessing as, um, uh, when the family went out to Yellowstone and, uh, and we drove around. Oh, I know when it was. I know it was in, uh, it was in, uh, 2000 and, uh, 2004, I guess. Oh yes. About 20 years ago. And, yes, about 20 years ago. And we're driving along.

We've got the windows down, and we're smelling the pines. It's a really nice summer day, cool weather. And all of a sudden, it just, you know, there's a sign. You're now entering federal property, and it was just burned everywhere. I said, wow wow look at the difference between privately owned land which these people were able to stop the fire they were able to do management on their property and the federal lands that are not managed a lot of difference and in yellowstone they went to the Yellowstone Lodge,

which is a historical lodge going back to the early 20th century and made out of logs and that type of thing. They really didn't do anything to fight the fires. They just circled the wagons and protected that one thing. That's what they're doing in Yellowknife, the capital in Canada, where the fires are happening there. And so Trudeau is basically AWOL, except to complain that Facebook is not giving locals the news.

And they said, well, that's not an issue, said Facebook, because the locals are putting the information out and sharing information with each other. I think what he's upset about is that the locals are sharing information on Facebook and the Facebook doesn't have the, um, corporate media, the government corporate media out there to tell its narrative. Isn't that interesting?

Kind of backfired, you know, because Facebook, uh, does not want to have a lot of news out there because, uh, sponsorship, they'll just put kind of essentially a news ban for the most part. And so now what is happening is people are talking about what's going on, and the government doesn't have its typical partners as part of the deputized state, the media,

to push their information out there so people are sharing the real stuff and what they're seeing. We go to Maui again. Still in Maui maui deadly fires in maui are still being investigated one culprit seems to be emerging and that is the uh difference the fact that the power company was completely preoccupied and spending all their money and their effort to match these renewable energy mandates and not doing anything to make the grid reliable and safe. Video footage points to fallen power lines as a possible cause of deadly fires. Hawaiian electrics bonds and stocks have been sold off this week as investors worry that they will be liable for fire damage. And of course, that's a real issue. You had PG&E, the California utility,

had to file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy after the 2019 fires. They got sued for tens, I'm sorry, it was 2018 fire, the campfire that did it. And then the next year in 2019, they got sued for billions of dollars and PG&E had to declare Chapter 11 bankruptcy. The 2018 campfire killed 84 people and destroyed the town of Paradise, if you remember that.

This is far, far worse than that. Far, far worse. I mean, they're still looking for a lot of missing people, and the body count is still much higher than that. And so, is Hawaiian Electric going to be sued into bankruptcy? Quite possibly. And yet, how did they get into this situation? In 2015, Hawaiian lawmakers required that 100% of the state's electricity come from renewable resources by 2045.

This is happening at the state level. You know, what TVA is doing will probably be mandated by the state government in Tennessee. But they're not going to worry about that. You know, the governor wants toll roads and the governor wants gun control. And he's probably one of the ones pushing the TVA to do this kind of stuff.

They're not going to talk about that as they meet this week with the Tennessee 3 special session. You know, it's interesting. Just a quick update to that. I spoke to Senator Nicely, and he said, yeah, everybody that I've talked to, he says, what I'm going to do is just sit quietly and vote no on everything.

They've got 115 bills that are being introduced there by my account. One person put them all together and put out a memo. I counted them up 115 of them in a special session. He said, we don't have enough time to look at all this stuff in details. We don't know what is good and bad about these things because there can be really bad stuff in the details of something. It looks like a good bill. So he said, we're going to just, I'm going to just sit there and vote no on everything.

And if they want to reintroduce it in January, when we've got time to take a good look at this and see what's really happening, then we'll do it then. Now that's really wise. And he is a wise man. And fortunately we've got a lot of wise people like him, uh, in the Tennessee legislature, not everybody, but, uh, a lot of them. And so I saw yesterday that as they met the first day, the Senate and the Tennessee and Tennessee met for 20 minutes and then adjourned. So we got to come, we're told that we have to come, but Hey hey they can't force them to do anything so that's how nullification stuff works right that's that's great news to hear i hope they

don't pass anything i hope they do it in the usual way this is one of the things governor lee is trying to change the way business is done governor lee is trying to introduce toll roads into a state that's never had toll roads before and of of course, the next thing is going to be, you know, hitting you by the mile, right? The toll roads are an intermediate process for that. So anyway, getting back to what is happening here. They're all mandating renewable mandates. Hawaii's mandate was especially tall order.

Since in 2015, only about 20% of its power came from renewables. Now they've gotten it up to 40%. And it has been a mad scramble to do that. And what's been left behind? Well, maintaining the power grid, maintaining the power lines, cleaning up the debris around the power lines. We don't have any money or time to do that. We've got to jump to this new renewable mandate.

We've got a deadline from the government. The government is redesigning our power grid, and they know nothing about it. And I don't think they're just ignorant. I think they're malicious in terms of what they're doing. So, um, to meet this government mandate, Hawaiian electric embarked on a rapid renewable build out, which involved heavily subsidized rooftop solar and batteries and contracting for large-scale renewables at elevated prices. I guess you could say it's a fire sale. No, a fire sale would be lower prices, but yeah.

Pants on fire liars at the state level, lying about climate change. So they got this problem solution, problem solution. It's just amazing to watch this. Every dollar the utility spent on subsidizing solar and connecting renewables to the grid was one less dollar available for strengthening the equipment, removing combustible brush. Despite rising fire risk from non-native grass, Hawaiian Electric spent less than $245,000 on wildfire projects on the island of Maui between 2019 and 2022. That's four years. So again, everything is being dictated to us by these no nothing politicians who never designed anything, who never built anything. They don't know anything. And it would be bad enough if they were just merely incompetent, but their design

and their priority is to enslave us, to take everything from us, to burn us out, to put us in a tiny city, Hawaiian Electric now generates 40% from renewables, and at times it produces more solar power than the grid can handle. You see, that's at times. It is always variable. It's not reliable. Grid upgrades required to connect the renewables and to balance their intermittent flows

diverts scarce capital from system improvements needed to withstand physical stress, such as from heavy winds, which is what they had. A fraying electric grid is a national problem, not just in Hawaii. Consultants at Marsh McLennan estimate that more than $700 billion will need to be spent to replace aging transmission lines and maintain grid reliability. 60% of U.S. distribution lines have surpassed their 50-year life expectancy. The average age of large power transformers is 40 years, twice what their planned lifespan is. The same thing as true folks of nuclear power plants. Nuclear power plants, they give them a license for about 25 years, and then they're supposed to start decommissioning

them for safety. But as we saw in North Carolina, where we lived, they just said, well, you know, we don't have any replacement for it. So we're just going to arbitrarily extend it. We don't care. You know? Reality doesn't matter to these people. You know, they're just as detached from reality as the transgenders are. We don't know what the state of the power transmission lines are.

The transformers, they're, you know, they've exceeded their useful life. Maybe they're twice their useful life. We don't care. Just keep extending it. As long as I give you a certificate, it's safe, right? They say it's okay. Just like the FDA does. Oh yeah, Pfizer? Sure, that's fine. I approve it. And so again, 60% of the distribution lines, the transmission lines, are past their 50-year life expectancy. We need $700 billion to fix this, except instead of spending $700 billion, $0.7 trillion, we're going to spend $2.5 trillion to put in these renewables.

And again, how is that going to help us if the transmission stuff is collapsing? This is the same stuff they do with the roads and bridges. Yeah, we've got a crumbling infrastructure. Roads and bridges don't care. They don't want us to have cars. We've got a crumbling infrastructure with power lines, with transformers,

all the rest of it. They don't care. They don't want you to have any electricity. Now, that's the reality. Two and a half trillion, they don't care. They don't want you to have any electricity. That's the reality. Two and a half trillion dollars they want for this. They don't want any roads because they don't want people moving. They don't want any grid because they don't want you to have any power. And that includes for your electric vehicle.

That's just a grift. It's just a head fake. And so Biden finally goes to Hawaii yesterday. Babylon Bee had the story, their take on it, which it was about this bad. President Biden arrived in Maui this week full of quips and folksy anecdotes to show his support for the victims of the deadly fires, pulling out some of his best material to comfort those who had lost everything. The president said, I know just what you guys are going through. When I was, I mean, a few years ago or a decade or so ago, I was walking the beach in Delaware. And if you've ever been to that beach, you know, just how hot

that sand gets in the sun. Let me tell you, I walked all the way across the beach without sandals and, um, I feet felt like they're burning hotter than one of Hunter's little girlfriends in church on a Sunday, if you know what I mean. Pause for laughter. He reads that part out, which is exactly what he would do if they had scripted that on his teleprompter. Well, that's the satire from Babylon Bee B and the reality is not much better he went to Hawaii and he told these residents about a minor fire in his house

and he elaborated it yeah you know what about that it's like somebody telling you they got stage 4 cancer yeah I had a cold once let me tell you about my cold he says well I don't want to compare difficulties but Jill and i know what it's like to lose a home he said to lose a home they didn't lose a home they had a kitchen fire

and they called the fire department fire department said at the time it was a minor thing years ago now 15 years ago i I was in Washington doing Meet the Press. It was a sunny Sunday and lightning struck at home on a little lake that's outside of our home. Not a lake, a big pond, he said. And it hit a wire and it came up underneath our home into the heating ducts and air conditioning ducts. And to make a long story short, I almost lost my wife, my 67 Corvette, and my cat. And he added, this is not a joke. Well, his whole presidency. His whole presidency is a joke.

Yeah, that's a pause for laughter. Yeah, exactly. The fire at his house in Wilmington, Delaware, occurred on August 2004 and has been described as insignificant by the local fire department. Quote-unquote insignificant, that's how they termed it. They said then, and the AP went back and investigated it, they said they wrote it down, they said, quote, small fire that was contained to the kitchen had been taken under control by emergency services in the space of 20 minutes.

The U.S. president mentioned this incident on a few occasions previously, each time providing different accounts of the events. Last year, he claimed that, quote, we almost lost a couple of firefighters. They were on coffee break and they couldn't find their way back to the fire, I guess. I don't know what it was. In 2012, he said, we, quote, had a house burned down with my wife in it, but then he corrected

himself by pointing out that quote, she got out safely. You know, that was 11 years ago that he was putting out that kind of stuff. I guess this is my question. Are his scripts being written by chat GPT? Is that the basis of the hallucinations or or is it just his imagination where he's lied and prevaricated and plagiarized stuff for his entire political career? That has characterized him, his lies, his plagiarism, and his authoritarianism, his utter disgust for individual liberty and personal rights and the Bill of Rights that he demonstrated and the Clarence Thomas hearings.

And so when we look at this, we need to understand that the plan is to burn us out. You look at these pictures. There's a widow who is now suing Elon Musk because her husband died in a fiery crash. And that particular crash was not spontaneous ignition of a failed battery that went into a runaway issue. He crashed the car, and then as part of the crash, it corrupted the batteries, began a fire. He was trapped inside because the body was evidently bent enough that he couldn't get the door open,

and he burned to death inside of it. Similar situation we talked about the other day. A guy who's going down the road, runs over some metal part that somebody dropped or fell off of another car, came up, hit the battery. The battery caught fire. He was barely able to get out himself. And he said, if this had happened when my wife and kids were in the car, we would have never gotten him out.

We probably would have all died trying to get the kids out of the car seat in the back because it happened so quickly. This has been a problem from the very beginning. Years and years ago, I was talking about a test drive as they were rolling out the Teslas in Europe. And it started smoking, and they barely, and it was a Tesla employee who was driving it. They barely got out as the car incinerated.

But that's one issue. And we know how difficult these fires are to contain, to control. They keep coming back like a joke birthday candle, reigniting. And now they want to scale it up to a massive storage energy site. And they're doing that as necessity because of these renewable energy mandates. Folks, that's what you need to focus on. You need to focus on this is coming to you wherever you live. It doesn't matter. They're pushing this renewable stuff in every state. And every state is going to be making Elon Musk richer

by putting these massive fire hazards right next to your home that are going to put toxic gas out when they burn and are going to be uncontrollable fires. And how long is it going to take for the thermal runaway? Are they going to be able to contain it to, you know, one area of that? Or is it going to get even bigger than that? We're going to take a quick break. We'll be right back. The Common Man The common man.

They created common core to dumb down our children. They created common past to track and control us. Their commons project to make sure the commoners own nothing. And the communist future. They see the common man as simple, unsophisticated, ordinary. But each of us has worth and dignity created in the image of God. That is what we have in common. That is what they want to take away.

Their most powerful weapons are isolation, deception, intimidation. They desire to know everything about us while they hide everything from us. It's time to turn that around and expose what they want to hide. Please share the information and links you'll find at thedavidknightshow.com. Thank you for listening.

Thank you for sharing. If you can't support us financially, please keep us in your prayers. TheDavidKnightShow.com All right, we're going to talk about the debate that's coming up tonight, the Republican debate. And then at the same time as counter-programming, you're going to have Donald Trump and Tucker Carlson. Trump will be pushing back against the GOP field, and Tucker Carlson will be pushing back against the GOP field and Tucker Carlson will be pushing

back against Fox News. So they're a self-serving narcissistic interview which will not ask any serious questions, I guarantee you. Tucker is not going to take on Trump. I guarantee it. I hope I'm wrong. If I am, we'll talk about it tomorrow. But Tucker is not going to offend his bread and butter base as he's trying to build his profile here. That's one of the reasons why he's cooperating with Trump on this thing. So we're going to talk about the debate and we'll talk about some questions that Trump should be asked. I have a comment here on Rumble from North American House Hippo. My employer is buying dozens of electric buses. This will not end well. That's right.

Will not. Those things are incredibly expensive. You know, just like Lala Harris. She's all excited about school buses. Don't you just love school buses? It'd take you there. You could brown nose with the teachers and all the rest of this stuff. And she's talking to them.

And, you know, I just love yellow school. And this is even better because it's not the diesel stuff. It's all electric. And now that company that's promoted by Lala Harris and by the Biden administration, heavily subsidized by the Biden administration is going out of. I don't know if it's because people can't afford to spend a million dollars per bus. It's got to come out of the taxpayers' pockets about all this stuff. Look, you understand that they're coming to shut us down, right? They're going to do everything they can to shut us down. They're at war with us. You need to prepare.

One of the things that you need to look at, Civil Defense Manual. You can find that at civildefensemanual.com. Written by special ops soldiers and contributing people who have different areas of expertise. Jack Lawson, who's on frequently with us, put together a lot of this stuff. He's got a couple of chapters at civildefensemanual.com about preparing to have water and also preparing for nuclear war in the sense that if you were not taken out in the initial flash, and I think a lot of people are going to be surprised that, um, you know, um, perhaps, um, who knows how many

they're going to drop. I mean, they've got so many thousands of them, they could nuke everybody, but, uh, if you survive that and, um, uh, you know, things that you can do to survive the fallout from that and other things like that. But most of the book is focused on the planned shortages and things like that that they want, the planned chaos that is all a part of this. You see, it's not just taking down the energy grid. It's also planning chaos and many other things. So go to civildefensemanual.com. You can get an idea, a couple of important topics that are there,

and you can get an idea of the depth of information that is there. But how to prepare, how to store food and many other things, and to do it cheaply. So take a look at that. A lot of very good practical advice. Two volumes. He only sells both volumes at once and in paper form. It's not an electronic form because you're preparing for the grid to be down for one reason or the other. It is so vulnerable. And we'll be talking later on about what is happening

with BRICS. They've begun. It's very interesting, isn't it, that the BRICS countries are meeting and talking about how to get away from the dollar as a standard. And at the same time, the same week, at the end of the week, you're going to have the Federal Reserve and all those people meeting in Wyoming in their luxury hotels. They're going to have, they chose that, I think, because they want to respond to what comes out of the BRICS meeting. But let's talk about the debate, which is tonight.

And I guess we could say it is the DeSantis. They're trying to DeSantisize the GOP. Everybody's going to be coming after DeSantis. And he is essentially the bait for it. But there's one person that's not going to be there, and he's very upset about it. And I think he's got a real legitimate gripe, and that is Larry Elder. I'd actually like to hear what Larry Elder has to say.

He's a bit different from these other guys. And he is someone who has, for years, been a conservative talk show host. This is what he had to say about how the RNC has squeezed him out at the last minute from the debates. As you can see, I'm at LAX in Rooter, Milwaukee. I was just informed by the RNC that I'm not qualified for the debate. Why? Even though I exceeded the 40,000 individual donations required, even though I signed the pledge to support the eventual nominee,

even though I submitted three polls where I was at least at one percent, I was informed that one of the polls is not eligible. It's the Rasmussen poll. Even though it was the most accurate poll in predicting that Donald Trump would win in 2016, they say it is affiliated with Donald Trump and therefore it is not eligible. And I said to Ronna McDaniel, the chairwoman of the RNC, it's not affiliated with me. She said any poll affiliated with any candidate is not eligible. And no one told me that until just now. So we're filing an emergency injunction to get me up there.

This is absolutely BS. One of the candidates, by the way, offered a $20 gift certificate for a $1 donation. That apparently is okay. Another one offered a $20 gift certificate for a $1 donation. That apparently is okay. Another one offered a free air quotes country Western concert for a $1 donation. That apparently is okay. Another one offered a commission to prospective donors to get other prospective donors. That apparently is okay. But I did it the old fashioned way, asking people to support me by going to LarryElder.com and that is not okay. And now all of a sudden, I'm not eligible.

It is designed, in my opinion, to make sure that Ron DeSantis is a nominee, anybody other than Trump. This is BS. I will see you in Milwaukee. Out. Well, I absolutely agree with him. Look, I have said from the very beginning, you want to complain about corrupt elections in this country? It begins with ballot access. It begins with debate access. They want to make sure that all access to the ballot is controlled through these two political parties. That's why I have utter contempt for both of them. I've known about this. I've fought against this for 30 plus years.

And so, you know, they control access to the ballot. If you want to run as an independent or a third party, they have made it almost impossible to get on the ballot in all 50 states. And if you do get on the ballot in all 50 states, as the Libertarian Party has done many times, it essentially exhausts the financial and volunteer resources of the organization. And so you're only going to have maybe some billionaire candidates, maybe not even then now,

because the rules have changed about getting into the debates because Ross Perot was able to get on the ballots, but after he got into the debates, he shook things up quite a bit. So they changed the rules at that point in time. This is what they're doing to Larry Elder, changing the making the rules so that he can't get into the debate. And so he said, I said from the beginning that it appeared that the rules of the game were rigged. Little did we know just how rigged it is.

For some reason, the establishment leaders at the RNC are afraid of having my voice on the debate stage. Just as I had to fight to successfully be on the ballot in California recall election, I will fight to be on the debate stage because I fully met all the requirements to do so. This whole thing about the Rasmussen poll. Yeah, the Rasmussen poll they threw out? Rasmussen poll has been around for quite some time. And it does have a reputation for being one of the most accurate polls out there. With the exception of the very

last election, the midterm election. They missed it by a big amount. They had really overestimated how the Republicans are going to do, and I think everybody did. And I think the reason that they underperformed so much was because of Trump. I think it was especially because of Trump's endorsement of celebrity candidates who had absolutely no principles. And we saw this happening over and over again. People who had no principles couldn't talk. People like Dr. Oz. Are you kidding me? This World Economic Forum guy?

This celebrity candidate? This Democrat? This guy who is not, he would have to renounce his Turkish citizenship to become a senator and to be able to have access to documents that he would get as a senator. And he said, well, if you elect me, I'll renounce it. But he's not going to do it otherwise, and he hasn't done it because he didn't win. He lost to Fetterman. To Fetterman.

This is Donald Trump's picks. It's his issue. It's one of the reasons why everybody was so excited about DeSantis. As the rest of the country, the Republican Party and the rest of the country, was crashing and burning because of Donald Trump, you had DeSantis who just slammed it in Florida. And so everybody said, well, maybe this is our guy. But now they're back to tying themselves to Donald Trump.

It's going to be disastrous. Donald Trump, this lifetime Democrat, and the Democrats are burning down the Republican Party, the opposition party. There will be no opposition to this totalitarian regime of Democrats because of Trump. But getting back to this, you know, the Rasmussen poll, with the exception of that, they've been pretty accurate. And so this is just an arbitrary thing being done by the RNC, an excuse. And we've seen this done over and over again.

We've seen it done, you know, once you would get on the ballot, as we did in North Carolina, they would kick you out of the debates and they would have very arbitrary criteria and, you know, or just say, well, I'm not even going to give you a reason. Just kick you out. No, we can't have three candidates on debate stage. Well, they're going to have eight tonight. They should have nine tonight because if you look at what's required the candidate

has to have 40,000 individual donors as well as 200 individual donors from at least 20 different states he did more than that he exceeded more than that a candidate must pull at least 1% in three national polls or 1% in two national polls and 1% in an early state poll from two separate carve-out states, either Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada, South Carolina. So, uh, and two of those, two out of those four. So you had to have a certain support in the polls and they're just throwing out the rasmussen poll and um you had to have these individual donors as he pointed out these other people playing a lot of games with the donors and i've talked about this you know the north dakota governor bergham is um a billionaire a billion he's even richer than the pharmaceutical candidate, Vivek Ramaswamy. I guess we'd call him Pharma-swami. Pharma-swami's got a lot of money, but Burgum's got even more.

And so Burgum had a million dollars to give 50,000 donors. If you give me $1, I'll give you back $20, he said. Because for this first debate, you got to have 40,000 donors. By the next debate, you got to have 50,000 donors. So he just, you know, I'm going to be in the first two debates. As long as I can get the poll numbers up there, I'm going to buy my way into getting donors. Give them $20 for every $1 they send me. Suarez, the mayor of Miami who wanted to enter, did the same thing. And I had people send that to me. Is this a scam?

I said, well, yeah, but it's not the kind of scam that you think it is. They probably will give you the $20, but it is a scam for sure. And the RNC is just fine with that. And as you pointed out, one candidate was giving people tickets to an event. I don't know what that was about. Telling people, hey, I'll give you a finder fees. If you recommend another donor, I'll give you another kickback. And so they're just fine with that, but they won't accept the Rasmussen poll. He passed Larry Elder passed all of these benchmarks, except for that. Now I don't, I haven't followed Larry Elder. I don't know what his position is on a lot of

different issues. I'm just saying this shows the corruption of the campaign. And I think the debates could or should be the most important part of this because this would be where they start to iron out things that they think are important and what they're going to do for people. It's one of the reasons why Trump has no interest in it. Because the worst case scenario is people would ask him about things he did in his first term. He doesn't want to have that. Secondly, they would ask him about the future. He don't want to talk about the future. He wants to talk about 2020 and not about the lockdown of 2020,

about his deeply wounded narcissistic loss and how he can get revenge. He wants it to be about him personally. Everything's about him. Nothing is about our problems. We're not going to talk about what are we going to do about these renewable energy mandates and the fact that you're burning the country down and you're destroying our electricity. You're letting the infrastructure crumble. And then you're going to burn us down and you're going to make electricity so expensive

and so unreliable we won't have it for anything. We'll have to have our cars, our appliances, our air conditioning and heating will all be electrical, but then there won't be any for anything. Uh, we'll have to have our cars or appliances or air conditioning and heating will all be electrical, but then there won't be any grid to power it. What are you gonna do about that? Trump? Well, did you see that they actually stole the election from me four years ago? Okay. Okay.

The RNC cited alleged ties between Rasmussen and Trump though. Elder said he has no knowledge about whether Trump has ever worked with Rasmussen previously. He also added that Farmaswamy, another candidate, also had issues submitting the Rasmussen polls and argued that if the RNC clarified this with the field, then they would have identified other qualifying surveys. In other words, he goes in, he says, so here's the ones that I passed. Well, we're going to throw that one out. Well, you know, I could have given you other polls, but you won't give me a chance to do that. So it's going to be interesting to see what happens. I don't think it, because they did this at the very last minute,

he may not be in this one. He might be in future ones. He said it became clear during the final days of qualifying for the debate that Larry Elder was not even listed as a candidate option on a lot of the RNC's qualifying polls. That's another game that they always did with the Libertarian Party. They said, well, you got to poll at a certain level. Well, they won't even list me on the poll. How am I going to get X percentage of votes when I'm not even listed on the poll? And that's what they did to Larry Elder. It's the same stuff they've been doing to everybody.

That's why I say, you want to talk about the elections? We got a much bigger problem than Dominion. There's so many different ways that they can rig this thing. And it begins with ballot access and it begins with debate access. So he's going to hold a press conference today, uh, in Milwaukee as the show is ending, uh, which will be at noon Eastern time. Uh, so, you know, we'll see what he has to say about it. If there's going to be any remedy again, Miami mayor, Francis Suarez, who also did this,

you give me a dollar, I'll give you $20 back. He's going to not make it for this. And, um, he has said that if there was not enough, um, support that he would drop out of the white house race, he said himself included. So maybe he's going to drop out. We'll see. He says, I'm running against people who've been national figures for years. I've been a national figure for 60 days. So fortunately for me, you're sort of new. So you have a different threshold, a different timeframe, and we're going to have to compete at the same level.

So maybe he's going to flip flop on what he said he was going to do. We would never expect a presidential candidate to do that. Would we? So as, um, Vox breaks it down, they break down the candidates in an interesting way. They said, well, we've got the donor favorite Trump rivals. They said, well, that'd be Ron DeSantis and that'd be Tim Scott. These are the people who've gotten a lot of big bucks from big campaign contributors. And now they're starting to get upset with DeSantis because he's doing too much about abortion.

He's just too harsh, as Donald Trump said, about abortion. So they're kind of pulling back from him. Tim Scott's gotten a lot of money, especially from Larry Ellison. Then they say, well, and then there's also the next group, three of them. Vox characterizes as former Trump allies who have turned critics. And in that, they put Mike Pence, Chris Christie, and Asa Hutchinson. They say their chances at winning the nomination are slim to none. Pence struggled to even qualify for the debate because of low fundraising

numbers and low poll numbers as well. While Christie has managed to piss off just about every demographic group in both parties, they said, according to a Fox News poll. Mr. Grumpy, you know, he's of the seven dwarfs, or I guess we've got eight dwarfs, maybe nine. He's grumpy. Guess that's what we should do. Instead of breaking them down in these categories,

we ought to give them nicknames from the seven dwarfs. Of course, you know, they had to bring in Biden, who is sleepy. Hutchinson similarly has little chance of winning the nomination. He announced over the weekend that he had finally reached the 40,000 donor mark after having met the polling requirement, but he has still yet to crack 1% of support in polling averages. So then it takes us to the people that they put in as rich guy vanity campaigners. And in that category, Vox puts Vivek Pharma Swami. I think we should call him that because we need to emphasize where he got his money from.

He's a big pharma guy. As a matter of fact, there's of pharma swami as he made his money there's one picture of him a few years ago where he's smiling and he's holding a pill yeah that's that should be the poster for for pharma swami and now he's invented himself as uh an expert in so many different areas but it really is a vanity campaign he's not going to win uh he's got some good ideas but he's got some really strange ideas. He's very inconsistent. As I said about the 9-11 stuff, he's really a limited hangout,

but I'm very concerned about his pharmaceutical connections and how he made his money. He was a financial supporter, and essentially he brought in, to partner with in his pharmaceutical company, he brought in the ph with in his pharmaceutical company, he brought in the pharma bro, Martin Schiarelli, that repulsive guy. Now, when asked about him, he said, well, he's a liar, but he certainly is brilliant. Well, okay, is that going to be how he's going to run his campaign?

Is Pharma Swami going to be a brilliant liar? He is brilliant. He's very intelligent. No doubt about that. It's the character issue that is the issue, again, on this. And the fact that he's already flip-flopping all over the place with his policies. And he has no experience. Except to become extremely wealthy playing the typical pharmaceutical games. And his connections with

Governor Mike DeWine, the Republican governor of Ohio, are very, very troubling, the things that he proposed to do as part of that COVID response team. He is outperforming established Republican voices like Scott, Pence, Christie, and Haley in recent national polling, and he has no shortage of money his own. And even richer than him is Doug Burgum, the term-limited billionaire governor of North Dakota. Farmaswamy, as they refer to him in Vox, they say he's prepared to spend more than $100 million of his biotech fortune.

It's not biotech, it's pharmaceutical stuff. They say biotech to try to distance themselves from these vaccine jabs and all the rest of it. It's the same thing, folks. He said he's happy to go after DeSantis, but he's been defending Trump. He has stated unorthodox opinions on America's support for Ukraine and for Taiwan. He's eager to attack progressive culture positions around affirmative action and the LGBT agenda. And then again, Doug Burgum is another one of these guys who bought his way in, giving $20 for every dollar that people bring in.

And then that leaves just one candidate left over, Nikki Haley. They characterize her on Vox as a, quote, promising Republican who missed her moment. No, she is a dyed-in-the-wool warmonger with no regard for peace or anybody's lives. She's absolutely disgusting. I won't even spend any time wasting talking about her. She's a female John McCain or female Lindsey Graham. That's redundant, isn't it?

Anyway, will Biden debate Trump if he is a Republican nominee? His campaign will not even commit to that. Isn't it interesting that the two frontrunners, two people running for re-election, don't want to talk about their first term? Isn't that a warning for people? Isn't it a warning that neither one of these people with a horrible record of their first term and with criminal issues, both of them, that they don't want to have a debate?

Oh, how surprised are you about that? Biden twice debated Trump in 2020. A third debate was canceled after Trump supposedly contracted COVID. The DNC is not holding any debates ahead of their primary. They don't want to have Biden out there debating RFK Jr. And now they're saying, we're not going to debate Trump. We're going to make this about personalities. Because everybody hates what these guys have done to us.

It's more of a problem for Biden to make it about his personality than it is for Trump. Trump's got a huge following on his personality for some reason. But both of them have reprehensible policies. That's the thing that I just can't understand is how the MAGA people give Trump a pass on everything that happened in 2020. And I can't understand why they like his personality either. A senior Biden campaign advisor said the only thing that'll be missed by not having a debate with Trump will miss the chaos, the disruption, the bullying, the name calling of former president Trump.

And so they said they want to make a key part of their campaign abortion. Well, good luck with that. Unfortunately, we don't have people in the Republican Party who want to really make a case for life, evidently. Certainly not Trump. He thinks protecting life is too harsh. That's his criticism of Mr. Sanctimonious, as he calls DeSantis. And so Senator Tina Smith, a Democrat from Minnesota, Biden campaign surrogate,

because we're going to have to have a lot of surrogates for Biden. So the reality is that none of these candidates in the Republican Party trust women to make these decisions for themselves because they believe they know better. Oh, you mean like the way you didn't trust us to make decisions about masks or lockdowns or vaccines or social distancing or any of the rest of this stuff? Yeah, see, abortion is not your body only. There's another body that's involved there. But all of those things that I just mentioned, the hypocrisy of these people,

you know, will that be attacked? And I'm telling you, it won't be that line of attack will not be used. Why? Because all of these people in one way or the other signed on to all of those policies, the mass, the lockdowns, the jabs, DeSantis, even though he pulled back sooner than anybody else, he signed on to all that stuff. And even though he knows that the jabs are. He signed on to all that stuff. And even though he knows that the jabs are killing people, he's still not stopping it. I'm glad that he did more than anybody else did, and that's one of the reasons why he did so well in Florida, because he did more than anybody else to oppose that stuff.

But he didn't do enough. But none of them are going to come out and say, you want to talk about my body, my choice, after what you did to people in 2020 and 2021? Are you kidding me? Vaccine mandates of untested, novel mRNA vaccines, all the rest of the stuff. Republicans are just as culpable in all that. So Trump posted, why doesn't Fox and Friends show all the polls where I'm beating Biden by a lot?

They just won't do it. They purposely show the absolute worst pictures of me, especially the big orange one with my chin pulled back. They think that they're getting away with something they're not. You understand? This is about his vanity. This is about his narcissism. This is about his revenge.

He's got to get revenge and he's got to get even. And he's got to show people that he is a very popular president. He's not a one and out like George H.W. Bush. No, no, not Trump. He's a two-term president. He's got to show them. It's about him. It's not about us.

He's going to sell us out into a globalist slavery, just as he did in his last year. If he gets back in. So, uh, Fox news, they said, um, made several efforts to get him to go to the debate at one point, they even sent network officials to his golf club at Bedminster, New Jersey to pitch him on participating in it, but he's not going to do it. And we all know why doesn not going to do it. We all know why. He doesn't want to defend that.

So tonight you're going to have some of his surrogates and his supporters, political supporters that will be there. Marjorie Taylor Greene, Matt Gaetz, Brian Donalds, Carrie Lake will all be there, along with Trump Jr. and his girlfriend, they left his wife for Kimberly Guilfoyle, who used to shack up with grab in nuisance. She's, you know, can you say she's, I guess not bisexual. She's bipartisan, right? She's sleeper.

Politics makes very strange bedfellows, and it certainly does, has made Kimberly Guilfoyle very famous. Uh, they will also promote the former president on their rumble shows, but they are not going to be allowed into the spin room where they have people doing their post debate spin. Well, my candidate really knocked it out of the ballpark. Yours really sucked. Okay. It's about the, well, my candidate really knocked it out of the ballpark. Yours really sucked. Okay. It's about the, um, entertainment value.

Uh, and I think that is absolutely reasonable, although it has really made Trump very concerned, you know, very angry. I'm not getting my surrogates. Can't go there and talk as he's decided that he's a not going to go B. I think this interview that he's got with Tucker, I think it's even prerecorded. So they're obviously Tucker and Trump because they, you know, pushing back against Trump against the debate, Tucker against Fox News. They're going to release it at the same time as that, hoping that nobody watches the debate. The thing is, nobody has to watch any of this stuff in real time.

I won't be watching any of it in real time. I'll be going back and looking at what they had to say after the fact. I don't need to sit there and watch this stuff in real time. I won't be watching any of it in real time. I'll be going back and looking at what they had to say after the fact. I don't need to sit there and watch this stuff in real time. DeSantis said, I'm the only one whose sole purpose is trying to be the 47th president, he said, of anyone who's on that stage. Well, I would say that you could also include Trump in that. As I said before, I think Trump's purpose is to assuage his ego, his narcissism, to get revenge. He said he was asked by Fox News host Martha McCallum. She said, so what about Chris Christie? She said, he's come at you pretty hard. Do you expect there's going to be some moments where you're going to want to put him in his place?

Yeah, let's have it. We're going to mix it up there because that's what they try to do. Right? Uh, the networks who run these debates, they try to get these guys fighting with each other so they don't talk about anything of any substance. They ask him the same old questions over and over again, but they'll ask him, well, you know, this guy said this about you. How do you want to respond to that?

I hate that. This is why I'm not going to watch the debate. I'll just look to see if they said anything about any particular issue that's of any importance and then see if that is something that is completely different from what they have said or done in the past but uh de santa said well i um he said people can do what they want i can tell you this though martha of anyone on that stage i'm the only one whose sole purpose is running to be the 47th president of the United States. And to reverse this country's decline.

I'm not running to be vice president. Like Nikki Haley, like Tim Scott. I'm not running to be in the cabinet. I'm not running to be a contributor on cable news. Uh, or because I'm a deeply wounded narcissist out for revenge or to pardon myself and stay out of jail. I'm not running for any of those reasons, right? He could have said that, but he didn't say that.

He just left it before he got to Trump. And so, you know, as we look at what is going to happen tonight, everybody's going to be baiting DeSantis and the debate. And there's an interesting article from, let's see, I think it is Kurt Schlichter. Yeah, Kurt Schlichter in town hall. And so he kind of goes in and he says, well, this is what DeSantis needs to do

because as the guy who's been polling higher than the other people, they're all going to be, he's going to be the front runner that's there on the stage tonight. So he says, so Ron has to demonstrate dominance over each of his rivals. He says, that's easy with Mike Pence. Mike Pence always gives up and gives in. He could have said, uh, Mike Pence, you just repeat that line where he says, it's not my concern.

That'd be the easiest way to come after Mike Pence. Yeah. What about the war in Ukraine? And, and, you know, the fact that everything is getting worse for people here in America. Well, that's not my concern. I'm concerned about the war in Ukraine. And, and, you know, the fact that everything is getting worse for people here in America. Well, that's not my concern. I'm concerned about the war in Ukraine. Uh, and that's true of, uh, Nikki Haley, who, uh, Kurt Schlichter refers to as Nuki Nikki. I think that's a great nickname for her because she wants war everywhere. You're going to eventually end up with nuclear war. She keeps getting her way. Uh, so just call her nukie haley because she

i used to call her and theresa may the valkyrie when they were pushing to get us involved with boots on the ground in syria uh desantis will need to dismiss her agenda as they return to the tired old gop combination of wars and tax cuts for corporations. Yeah, that's pretty much it. She's all in on something, something, Ukraine, Putin, bad, something like that. That establishment mishmash of cliches and fuzzy, fake, tough, pseudo-thinking that substitutes for an actual national strategy that supports America's interest. They should have Kurt write the stuff.

As a matter of fact, he writes responses that DeSantis could use for these people. He says what he should say to demonstrate his dominance over Nikki Haley. Nikki, I've been to war, and if the voters choose me, they'll know with absolute certainty that their sons and daughters will never die in another useless one. And that I will use every bit of my power as president to fight back against big corporations that want to impose their San Francisco values on normal families. That's what he could say. And, um, you know, we have concerns about where he is on the wars as well.

A Tim Scott, uh, Kurt Schlichter says, uh, Tim, he could, DeSantis could say to Tim, Tim, I first had my doubts about you when you supported the Democrat defund the police movement, but I really lost respect for you when you decided to repeat what you knew were Democrat and regime media lies about Florida history standards. Our voters do not need a candidate who joins with Lala Harris to tell the lie that Republicans like slavery. Uh, and then there's Chris Christie. He can say, well, I noticed that you don't have a problem with Biden.

Just sign your MSNBC contract and get out of the way of those who I want to become president with, uh, by vague pharma swami he said uh and he kirk doesn't pick up on um what i think is a big vulnerability of this pharmaceutical guy doesn't talk about his pharma bro martin screlli or any of this other stuff he just attacks him because he's young i don't think that's a winning strategy. Uh, especially when people are just looking at Joe Biden and like, what is going on here? I think a lot of people are going to be saying, you know, maybe we should get somebody a little bit younger. What he's saying is that Vivek is a way, way, way too young. He says, Vivek, you're a smart guy with no experience, but a bright future.

Once you learn how the world works, go do a hitch in the Marines kid. Then maybe at least, uh, when a city council election and get a little bit salty before you try for the white house with Doug Burgum, he says, Doug, I turned a purple state red. You kept a deep red state, deep red. Well, that's fine, I guess. But the last time we nominated a soft, rich guy, he got punked live on TV by Candy Crowley. And then he says that Ron's second target is going to be Joe Biden.

First, he's got to demonstrate that he has dominance on these people. He says he could say, I turned a purple state deep red. My competitors have never done that. Nikki, Tim, Doug, Mike all come from safe red states. Chris tried to turn blue, New Jersey red and failed hard. Vivek has never even run an election before, much less won one. And the Democrats agree that I am the threat to Joe Biden stumbling his way to another term. The Democrats are not spending their money to beat my opponents. They're spending money to make sure that I am not on the GOP ticket because I'm the only Republican they're afraid of. And so, um, uh, you know, that's, um, what he is, his suggestion for what DeSantis should do. And I,

I thought it was interesting. And I think it's interesting what jordan schlachtel had to say uh his preview about it he said here's a rundown of these guys uh he said you got former vice president mike pence who knows that he has no chance but he wants to elevate his profile with a ruling class perhaps he's running for a board seat at lockheed boeing or and or raytheon he's tied with haley is most likely to get the U.S. involved in a nuclear exchange. Yeah, I would agree with that. With Ron DeSantis, he said, arguably the only person on stage actually running for president, protected the freedoms of Floridians

during the COVID hysteria, remains the best governor in the country, he said, and he lives there, he says, and I love my governor. I'm not as much in love with desantis um what he doesn't mention here is that more than anybody else he fought and i think effectively the lgbt crt takeover of schools he's done some very creative things with that he's done more than anybody else and i think he's done some good things with that i think that um is a pro-life stance is good. They got him called sanctimonious by Playboy Trump. And yet, on the downside, his free speech, his hate speech legislation, that he went to a foreign country, Israel, to sign because he wanted to get foreign donors to give him money,

that's a big red flag, quite frankly. And while he did more to oppose the jab and the lockdowns than anybody else, he is still allowing, uh, people to get jabbed and die. And he knows better than that. He and his surgeon general there, Latipo, both know better and they should be doing more to oppose this. Everybody is afraid to oppose this. It's one of the reasons why we got two pharmaceutical candidates. Tim Scott is one and PharmaSwami is the other. When you look at the influence of the pharmaceutical companies, it's right up there with the military

industrial complex and the war machine now. Because that is a war. That is a war against us. It's a war to rob us. It's a war to kill us. Uh, he goes on to talk about Nikki Haley running to be Trump's vice president tied with Pence is most likely to get us involved in nuclear exchange. And by the way, just remember this as a Jordan Schlechtel says,

she required vaccine cards in order to go to her events. Remember her doing that? Does that tell you something about Nuki Haley? And then you've got Pharma Man, Vivek Ramaswamy is the way that Jordan put it there. We'll just call him Pharma Swami. Running to be Trump's vice president. He will settle for a cabinet post. This is one of the reasons why he's not going to criticize Trump.

Trump's been very friendly to him. Fast-talking egomaniac who has long been wanting to be famous, quote-unquote, that's what he actually said, made all of his money by fooling investors into believing that he possessed the cure to Alzheimer's disease. And his company, during the plandemic, Farmaswami's company pitched governments on efforts to install universal COVID patient record surveillance database.

Isn't that the end of it? Isn't that where you say that's enough? Okay. What do we know about this guy? Well, you know, if that's what his history is, then, and, and when he talks about these other positions, even though he's got some interesting positions, he's got some really horrible positions. He wants to put us back into this globalist trade organization, which is a stepping stone for the unification of a global government. It's a trilateral.

The TPP and the Trans-Pacific Partnership and the European equivalent of it, the Trans-Atlantic Partnership, that was essentially to divide the world into three different areas and then to unify those three areas with the United States essentially being the spine and Europe and the Asian areas being the wings and just to bring it all together with trade unification, because that's how they consolidate their government. It's the same thing they did in Europe. They began with a common, uh, market, uh, began with trade unification.

Then they proceed to political unification. Then they proceed to political unification. Then they proceed to political unification and financial currency, a new currency. This is the path of slavery. He's bought into that. He and Elon Musk just thought that was great, especially H-1B visas. We've got to bring in more people from foreign countries to take jobs from Americans, whether they're engineers or whether they're working for Disney. Got to bring people on to work cheaply here.

That's where he is. Chris Christie, the guy who was pushing masks during all the lockdown stuff and so many different things. We won't even bother talking about Grumpy. Senator Tim Scott, he says he's running to be Trump's vice president. He is in perfect standing with the D.C. Uniparty. He is Pfizer's favorite legislator. Again, you know, both Tim Scott and Vivek Farmaswamy are pharmaceutical candidates.

He says, when it comes to Asa Hutchinson andoug bergham i have no idea what they're trying to accomplish he said and that's absolutely true we're going to take a break and when we come back i said earlier that there were two articles on brownstone one of them was a lady who said i wish i could interview trump or give some questions to tucker that he would pass on to Trump. An excellent article, but even better, Jeffrey Tucker talking about, so who was it that was really running the government in 2020? Who was it that was really running? This is what we need to ask of Trump and what we need to ask about Trump. We'll be right back. ¶¶ © BF-WATCH TV 2021 Liberty. It's your move and now the david knight show

all right let's talk about trump let's talk about 2020 what he does not want to talk about this is debbie lerman from brownstone institute she, if I interviewed Trump about COVID, she said in a fantasy world, here's what I wish that Carlson would ask, uh, before COVID your presidency was going pretty well. You had a good shot at winning another term. Would you agree that the pandemic pretty much reversed that? Actually, it wasn't the pandemic. It was your government's response to the pandemic. Uh, Democrats said the U S should have behaved more like China than like Sweden. Do you agree? Mr. Trump, I wish that you could have real journalists ask real questions.

And that means not people like Tucker Carlson, uh, not people like Megan Kelly and not people like Brett bear. Who's going to be asking the questions. Real journalists, real people. A lot of Republicans now think that you should have run the pandemic more like DeSantis did in Florida. Even though they might not have said it at the time, it seems to me that before March the 10th, 2020,

you were planning to run it that way. What was shocking to me was when you seemed to pivot 180 degrees in just a few days. From saying that it would not be worse than a bad flu season to announcing that we were going to throw everything we had at it, locking down the whole country, investing trillions of dollars and keeping the economy shut down. It was especially surprising that you agreed to the economic shutdown. So what made you change your mind, Mr. Trump?

She also says a lot of information has come out suggesting that you change your mind because the National Security Council and related military and intelligence operatives told you that this was a bioweapon. And it's interesting that as they were telling Trump it was a bioweapon, Alex Jones was telling his audience it was a bioweapon as well. Is this a narrative that was being pushed out by the intelligence community, by the spies in order to justify the lockdown. Did they use that to scare Trump? Did Alex use that to scare the people who would have pushed back against this?

But Hey, you know, Alex says it's a bioweapon and Trump is afraid of this. So I guess we should do it. Question is, was this another CIA coup? A CIA coup against our government? That's a rhetorical question, by the way. She goes on here to say, in a Time Magazine article, you were quoted as saying,

I can't tell you that. When you were asked about why you thought the virus came from a lab in Wuhan, you said, I'm not allowed to tell you that. So who is not allowing you to speak openly about the possibility that it was a lab leak? Can you speak openly about it now, Mr. Trump? Can you tell me who made the decision in the middle of March to invoke the Stafford Act in all 50 states at the same time, which had never been done before,

and to put FEMA in charge as the lead federal agency for pandemic response when FEMA had no warning and no experience in this area at all? Well, of course, we knew for years that FEMA was going to be rolling out the attacks against America, right? But, yeah, nothing to see there. Just be afraid about the fact that it's coming from the Wuhan lab. So go ahead and follow that advice. Mask up. I'm selling you the masks.

Mike Adams was selling masks. Alex Jones is selling masks with InfoWars on it. I got the mask to sell you. Got the storable food to sell you. Hunker down. That's all good. Trump's got got the storable food to sell you. Hunker down. It's all good. Trump's got this. He's going to protect us.

Did you make those decisions or did the National Security Council or some other military or intelligence advisors tell you to do that? That's a good question. I wish that somebody would ask these of him. A few months under lockdown, you sounded as if you had lost control of the situation. In a tweet, May 18th, 2020, two months, when you wrote in all caps, RE-OPEN OUR COUNTRY,

you'd think that if anyone could have entered the lockdowns, it would have been the president, right? Is this like a, help, I've been kidnapped by the intelligence community. Uh, yeah. He promoted Gina Haspel to have the CIA who ran the lies that got us, did the torture, produced the lies that got us involved in the Iraq war. He took, um, bill Barr, deep, deep CIA guy

with George H.W. Bush, made him attorney general, all that stuff, yeah. He was a puppet. Trump is a puppet of the intelligence community, as the presidents typically are. That would confirm

that the response to COVID involved secret machinations of national security entities. Can you at least confirm that the response to covid involved secret machinations of national security entities can you at least confirm that if all these things are classified can you at least tell us that were you aware of the massive censorship and the propaganda that were happening to make people accept the lockdowns and the vaccine do you feel like you're a part of that campaign to convince people of course he was part of Do you feel like you're a part of that campaign to convince people? Of course he was part of it. He was proud to be a part of it.

Or do you feel like you were somehow forced to participate in it? No, it was absolutely necessary for the globalists to do to this country and to the world what they did. It was necessary for them to have a person who pretended to be a conservative, who pretended to be about America and American values, but had absolute contempt for the constitution. As we've seen with his, uh, you know,

take the gun, do the due process later. And these other things, Oh, they got to take the shot. Yeah, they got to take the shot. He said all that before that happened.

It was necessary to have somebody who portrayed himself as an American conservative, somebody who portrayed himself as an anti-globalist. It was essential to have a pretender like that to assuage the suspicions of the people who really were anti-globalists, who really were conservative, the voters, the people. Were you in touch with leaders of other allied countries to coordinate the response to the pandemic? This is key. I've talked about this many times. Isn't it interesting that they're all doing the same thing at exactly the same time, I've said?

That's what she says. It's pretty astonishing how all our closest allies ended up doing exactly the same thing at exactly the same time. If you were not the one who was coordinating with all these foreign leaders, were you aware that that type of coordination was happening? Especially with the UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Israel, Germany, and other European allies? As I've said many times, it would come out.

And it happened with Biden as well. It continued. Oh, well, you know, we're going to do this now. I told you two months ago, we're going to do this now. Is this an emergency? Why did you wait for two months? Well, today we're doing what we told you we're going to do two months ago. And now I'm telling you today that in two months,

we're going to do the next thing. Is this an emergency? Why are you rolling this out to, you know, the next step, two months, I'm going to tell you what's happening. I'm going to get you used to this thing. And then in two months, I'm going to do the next thing and tell you what the next thing I'm going to do in another two months is. This is not an emergency response.

This is psychological manipulation. This is boiling the frogs. And this was coordinated. And they were all doing the same thing in every country. That's what I said. This is not just Trump in the U.S. Who is the global coordinator for Trump and everybody else? Again, that's Deborah Lerman. She is a fellow at Brownstone Institute. And then I like this article a great deal. This is from Jeffrey Tucker. He gets into the details even more. He says, these are questions that are crying out to be answered.

The conspiracy of silence is obvious. Both political parties like it. The media likes it too because it was a main participant. Academia is compromised as much as the social media companies. So he says, we're, of course, speaking about the calamity that is commonly called COVID that robbed us of all of liberty and of rights and kicked off this national and global crisis. All the major national problems that the U.S. faces today,

inflation, learning loss, ill health, cultural confusion, demographic disruption, professional instability, tech censorship, widespread substance abuse, and loss of all trust in the commanding heights, including the whole of government and every connected institution. All of this traces back to the lockdowns that began. Now, he says on March the 16th, 2020, but it was actually that Friday the 13th that he put out that order. He says it was a decision for the ages. Shouldn't we know more about what led up to it and why it all happened?

The person who wants all questions to go away the most is the person who hopes to re-inhabit the White House, namely Donald Trump. And of course, the other person who continued and expanded on his policies, Biden, doesn't want to talk about it either. And these Republicans who were, uh, like Chris Christie, they were not in a position of power. They were selling this, you know, wear your mask. I've got COVID wear your mask.

So it doesn't happen. Nikki Haley. You can't come to my events unless you got a vaccine passport, whether or not you support his return to power. The reality is that Trump presided over the largest and fastest loss of liberty in the history of this country. And that's what I've said. I said, without a doubt, the worst president in my lifetime, nobody else even close.

And Jeffrey Tucker goes further back. He says no other president can compare. Not Wilson, not FDR, not LBJ, not Carter or Obama. He said his administration, Trump's administration, particularly in the last year, embarked on a new age of censorship, administrative state control over all of our lives, astonishing levels of spending and redistribution, massive invasion of our communities and homes. It attacked small business on a scale we have never seen before and seriously compromised.

Even our basic rights to associate the Biden administration was more of the same with new mandates. Incredibly Trump has somehow avoided questions like this. His supporters don't want it discussed. This is likely why he is skipping the debate. Fear that DeSantis will call him out. Neither do his opponents on the Democrat side want this discussed because they fully approve of what he did.

They love what Trump did. They love that. He's divided. He's he's created a civil war inside the Republican party. They love that. He did everything they wanted to do and got away with it. And then they could build on his precedent, which we call his precedency.

His opponents in the primary are compromised as well, particularly people like Mike Pence. But again, we've got the pharmaceutical candidates, Tim Scott, Vivek Farmaswamy, Nuki Haley, Asa Hutchinson. They were all part of this. We're not getting answers because nobody is asking the questions in hopes that mass amnesia will take hold. And everybody will just forget about it.

He said Fauci is the model here. In his deposition in Missouri versus Biden, he testified that he could hardly remember anything. He hopes that everybody else will have amnesia as well. We have a small window, says Jeffrey Tucker, in which to get answers during the primary season. And he says that perhaps there will be a breakout at some point. Let's be clear. There is not one credible study from anywhere in the world that demonstrates that lockdowns or

everything associated with them were worth the astronomical cost. Well, I'd be given a lot stronger than that. I would say we have study after study after study, and it happened in 2020. We were already seeing this. You could already see that as the places around the world, there's a French scientist who put this together, said, look at what was happening. There was nobody sick, nobody dying in these country after country. Mongolia is one of the best examples of it too. And would draw it there and say, look, this is what happened, what was happening. And then they brought in the vaccines and it goes straight up. And it stays up there until, in some of these countries like Mongolia, they said, okay, well, let's try ivermectin. They tried ivermectin.

It comes back down to nothing. The vaccine was a bioweapon. The intelligence community was lying to us, and they're still lying to nothing. The vaccine was a bioweapon. The intelligence community was lying to us, and they're still lying to us. And the people who make it about that, people like Tucker, Alex, and all the rest of these people, they're not only are they trying to excuse themselves and present themselves as victims.

Like, nobody wanted to talk about this. It's the same kind of whispering campaign you see with the UFOs. You got these people from the CIA and the intelligence community. We found these spaceships. We even found bodies, but I can't tell you anything about it. They put this, oh, let's buy a weapon and stuff out of their back. Don't talk about that. Don't talk about that.

And so now they want to talk about it because they don't want you to talk about the real bioweapon and the people who really put it out there, Trump and the intelligence community. He said, we know about the germ games of event 201 and crimson contagion. Well, it goes all the way back to dark winter. This is big. This is 9-11, but on a global scale, folks. And dark winter, as I mentioned many times, two months, the first germ game, two months before 9-11. One week later, you got the anthrax.

It was initially blamed on the anthrax attacks, blamed on Iraq, not the case. It was a CIA thing, investigations have shown. They were the only people that had that weaponized strain of anthrax and had that way to distribute it was at two CIA labs. And then two months later, they push out the model legislation for all the states to do it, and then they practice these games for 20 years. Event 201 and Crimson Contagion, those are just a couple of the most recent ones. And so this is the other shooter drop from 9-11 and this is doing to the world what the american government used 9-11 for and that is to establish a police and surveillance state the other shooter

drop and as i have said you know we've been the arsenal of democracy if you want to say we've also been the arsenal of world war II, then we became the arsenal of continuous war. And we're the arsenal of this pharmaceutical war against all the people of the earth. And it was Trump who kicked that off as well. And it's so proud of it. Father of the vaccine, he calls himself. COVID was the excuse.

Did they really believe this was the killer bioweapon? We've documented proof that everybody knew that the virus was not massively deadly and we've known this from January 2020 it was in December I said oh well the Chinese are saying that they've got this bat there they got some new disease or something well let's understand that you do right there. It's a coincidence that right there they have their only biosafety level four lab, the highest safety level four lab. So maybe that does bear looking at, but by January we knew that was nothing.

By January you could see that as you had the fake people falling on the streets, that they were sealing people in their homes, you knew that this was about politics and you knew it was about population control. No question about it. There's no reason then or now to talk about Wuhan. And the people who talk about it don't want to talk about shutting down gain-of-function research at all. No, they keep it very narrowly focused. What unleashed all this mania, says Jeffrey Tucker, to end liberty as we know it? Well, he said Tucker Carlson visited Trump at Mar-a-Lago on March the 7th. Oh, isn't that interesting?

Tucker Carlson, this guy whose father worked his entire working life for CIA propaganda organization, Voice of America. Tucker Carlson, who himself wanted to be in the CIA, and they purportedly told him no. Maybe they just told him, you can serve us better over here, right? Maybe it's that type of thing. His message to Trump, Tucker Carlson's message to Trump when he went down to visit with him personally, was to take the coronavirus seriously because it could be a bioweapon from china tucker had heard this he said from a trusted source within the intelligence community whom he has yet to name tucker has since said that he very much regrets his role in doing

this so is tucker used by the cia was he complicit in it, or was he just a patsy? It's Tucker who admitted this, that he was told that it was a bioweapon, and that he regrets going down to push this to Trump. Nevertheless, Trump didn't do anything until

two days later, and he evidently changed his mind. Who else talked to him? See, Tucker was just part of a campaign supposedly to push Trump to do this. Whatever changed his mind is likely what happened on March the 10th

as the intelligence community is pushing this to Trump. And as Jeffrey Tucker says, did they tell him that everybody was going to die and blame it on him? If that was not his thinking, what precisely did he hope to achieve by locking down the entire country by an executive edict? How did he imagine that he was personally going to stop the spread of a virus in the U.S. that was already everywhere on both coasts and likely had been there for the prior six months. Did it ever occur to him to call up an independent expert on infectious disease?

If not, why not? I mean, remember, there were so many different aspects of this. We even had video of somebody who had supposedly tested positive, and they had about a dozen guys all in hazmat suits and there was a film by somebody filmed this from a distance it was all a setup and all these guys in hazmat suits are carrying all the personal belongings of this person who's going to go into a into a room and be. Boy, what a psyop that was. Everybody was like, whoa, I guess I really should stay at home.

On March the 13th, Trump's own Health and Human Services issued a document on the pandemic plans. It was marked confidential, but it came to be released months later. Incredibly, this policy document not only declared a national emergency, but made it very clear that the rulemaking power for pandemic management would rest with the National Security Council. You see, these people were in charge. It was the intelligence community who was running it all.

And as RFK Jr. in his excellent book about Fauci pointed out in the germ games, he said, no, this is all the intelligence community from the very beginning and dark winter and all the rest of these things. They're in their hand and glove and they're the ones who are really running it. Uh, Fauci is the public face of it. Just like, uh, in other areas, the president is the face of it, but the government is the intelligence community in this country. It's important that we understand this.

It's important that we go back and we look at this timeline, this history, and we understand who's running this country. It's important that we understand this. It's important that we go back and we look at this timeline, this history, and we understand who's running this country. These elections don't mean anything. We have the intelligence community, we have the spies, and we have the bureaucrats who are running this stuff. The elections don't really mean anything. That's the intelligence community. The National Security Council. He says the public health agency of the CDC and the NIH were reduced in power to deal with implementation operations, but they were not in charge. He says that weekend, Saturday, Sunday, March 14th and 15th, every report we have says that Trump huddled in the White House with Jared Kushner, with two of Jared's college buddies.

What are they there for? With Anthony Fauci, Deborah Birx, Mike Pence. See, Mike Pence. That's what should be asked of Mike Pence. Whom else did he consult on that weekend? At this point, national security had already been given primacy and policy. So surely the military and the intelligence community were represented at the White House. Who were they? And what did they say?

According to Kushner, the decisive voice in putting together the lockdown plans was Pfizer board member Scott Gottlieb, who had previously headed Trump's own FDA. He is said to have been on the phone with Trump. According to Kushner, Gottlieb told him, quote, they should go a little bit further than you are comfortable with. When you feel like you're doing more than you should, that is a sign that you're doing it right. Unquote. And of course that was classic of what they had practiced every year for 20 years, from dark winter on. That was essentially the motto of all these germ games,

run by the intelligence community with the assistance of people like Fauci. All of this really matters because on that following Monday, March the 16th, Trump held a national press conference together with Fauci and Birx. And at this event, they handed out a PDF to the press, which in turn was issued to every public health agency in the country. And it read in part, quote, bars, restaurants, food courts, gyms, and other indoor and outdoor venues where groups of people congregate should be closed, unquote. And Jeffrey Tucker says, well, that certainly sounds like a federal edict to close churches, schools, and essentially put the entire country under house arrest

because that's what it was. During the press conference, Trump waffled a bit on whether he was shutting everything down, but Fauci stepped up and clarified that, yes, the Trump administration was, in fact, shutting down the whole country. Bill of Rights be damned. Now what do they say? I didn't shut the country down.

The governors did it. The Democrat governors did it. Trump says that. Fauci says that. The MAGA cult says that. No, Trump said that. Trump said shut it down. Fauci doubled down. The MAGA cult says that. No, Trump said that. Trump said shut it down. Fauci doubled down on the lockdown.

It truly is amazing when you go back and look at this. And I remember that Monday so well. I was fit to be tied over the whole weekend after what happened on that Friday the 13th. I have an early morning show. That happened later in the day. And I was just watching all this stuff happening. I saw California. I saw New York locking things down. And I came in that Monday morning and I talked about the situation in Britain at the beginning of the Battle of Britain, where they put out the things, keep calm and carry on. And, you know, liberty is, freedom is in peril.

Defend it with all your might. Those are the two signs. Liberty is in peril. Defend it with all your might and keep calm and carry on. And I said, that was a real threat. This is not a real threat. They had people with weapons short distance across the English Channel. They were soon going to be killing people in Britain, likely invading them.

And that's what they put up. Keep calm and carry on. Freedom is in peril. Defend it with all your might. I said, what does it matter with us? Our freedom is in peril. Why isn't anybody defending this? Why isn't anybody saying just keep calm?

You had people, the Wall Street Journal, Peggy Noonan, who used to be a speechwriter for Reagan. She came out over that weekend and said, if you're not panicking, you're not responding to this in the right way. And I said, panic is never the right response to anything. Never the right response. You're on a wooden ship and the mast is just broken and you've got a fire on the back and everything.

Panic is not the right response. You better get your head about you and you better do something about it. But panic was what everybody was selling. Mainstream media, alternative media, everybody was profiting from it. The next day the Trump team got busy on hospital protocols, ventilators, and remdesivir. Who was it that told Trump that intubating people was the best way to deal with this virus? Why did they believe that given that people who are intubated are very likely to die from the

procedure or from the secondary bacterial infection that likely will follow and of course that was exactly what happened that's why in you know high 80s low 90 percentile of people who got the ventilators died from the ventilators died from bacterial infection forced down into them um whatever happened to make america great again trump made america a gulag and if he gets in a second time he will make america a gulag again he did it first time. He'll do it the second time. He won't even have to answer to anybody to run a second time. It's just amazing to me. When we talk about the ventilators, I remember talking about one guy who is a pulmonary specialist. He said, I looked at that and I thought,

what are we doing about that? That doesn't make any sense. We've never done that to people who have respiratory illness. Who came up with that idea? Nevertheless, as Jeffrey Tucker says, Trump invoked the Defense Production Act to force companies to make more ventilators, which they did. Today, these are mostly scrap metal. Most hospital and doctors have abandoned the practice

once it became clear that it was killing people by the thousands. Trump. Who is advising him. Why did it not occur to him to call anyone of thousands of people who have hands-on specialization in respiratory viruses to get a second opinion? As of late April 30th, 2020, Trump was still pushing lockdown as a solution and even criticized Sweden for not locking down. Then he says something else happened. As the summer approached, it seems like Trump began to wonder if he had been hoodwinked.

If Fauci and Birx tricked him into wrecking his presidency and the country, then why wouldn't Trump just admit that? Well, because he's a narcissist. If he swears that he was right to green light lockdowns, why should voters trust that he would not do it again? Why would he not make America a gulag again? What does he believe

the limits to government power are? This is the key question. If I had one question to ask Trump, it would be this question. Tell me what you believe the limits to power of the American government are, foreign and domestic. Oh, well, none, I guess.

That's an open-ended question. Tucker will never answer anything like that. Nobody's going to ask him anything like that. That is the fundamental question. That would have changed all of this stuff. Oh, I can't do that. I don't have the authority anything like that. That is the fundamental question. That would have changed all of this stuff. Oh, I can't do that. I don't have the authority to do that. No, I have the authority to do whatever I want. I'm present. I can do anything I want. These are my boxes. I can do anything I want. It's a Shakespearean tragedy. He'll be hoisted by his own petard. He'll be hoisted by his own totalitarian instincts. It'll be nice to see.

Can't wait to see it. Anyway, I hope it happens. Even as late as July 20th, Trump was still claiming that he would defeat the virus, this time with face masks. Quote, he said, and he wrote this out, it is patriotic to wear a face mask when you can't socially distance. Patriotic to wear a face mask. Chris Christie said the same thing. Moving to the fall, Trump wisely allowed himself to be schooled in the realities by Scott Atlas. Trump seems to have been convinced, but meanwhile,

the whole country was in ruins. Millions of businesses closed, kids not in school, the whole population in a state of trauma at the loss of liberty. There were two months remaining before the November election. During his campaign stops, he dropped the lockdowns. He called for openings, but he largely left the subject off the stump speech entirely as if nothing had ever happened. And yet his supporters didn't. His supporters are yelling at him, fire Fauci, fire Fauci, fire Fauci. Well, we'll see.

We'll see. I like be first. We'll see. He gave Fauci a medal on his last day in office. Going into the election, COVID was largely off the agenda, but for the media and the Democrats who urged further lockdowns, which they implemented once in power. Yeah. And of course the entire election was a lockdown election again. Trump has nobody to blame but himself for that vote by mail fraud.

And as we look at what he is facing here and these charges against him we're going to take a quick look at that when we come back and we'll be right back ¶¶ Thank you. Analyzing the globalist's next move. And now, The David Knight Show. Well, as I said before, Trump's biggest enemy is himself. He has these Shakespearean character flaws. That will be his own undoing. His ego, his greed, his desire for revenge. Take a look at what has happened. This is from Reuters. Trump has yet to help his Georgia co-defendants with their legal bills. A very risky test of their loyalty. He's leaving these people, and I think this is really a part of, as a matter of fact, a lawyer who listens to the program says,

well, I think of this big cast of characters that have been indicted by Fannie Willis, and I know she pronounces it Fannie, but I think Fannie describes the way she's acted a little bit better. But anyway, Fannie has done, she's indicting just under 20 people out there. And I think the real purpose of that is to get somebody to turn. Well, Trump is going to make that more likely by leaving these people twisting in the wind without any money to pay for their legal defenses, because these legal defenses are going to be incredibly expensive.

And this article from Reuters points that out. As former President Trump and his army of lawyers prepare for his formal surrender tomorrow, a harsh new reality is emerging for the co-defendants who are charged alongside him in Georgia. Their legal bills are about to skyrocket, and they're not going to get any help from Trump. Attorney and co-defendant Jenna Ellis said, I was reliably informed that Trump isn't funding any of us who are indicted. She put that out on Twitter.

Trump has a history of paying for at least some of his allies' legal counsel. His entire political network, including his joint fundraising committees, spent over $70 million combined from the start of 2020 through the end of 2022 on legal fees, according to Open Secrets, which looks at campaign funding and spending. With Trump and his millions firmly out of reach, co-defendants, alleged co-conspirators, and witnesses are turning to their own legal defense funds to pay their lawyers, hopefully. Trump co-defendants can expect to pay their lawyers, quote, seven figures if it's a dollar, said Randy Zelen, a veteran attorney who specializes in white-collar crimes. In other words, at least a million dollars. Where are they going to get that money? Well, they're not going to get it from Trump. Part of the reason legal fees are so high, said Zelen,

and the Trump court cases is that for an attorney representing a Trump-aligned client is potentially rife with pitfalls, including possibly having to defend the former president's false claim that he won the 2020 election. Could they get disbarred for that? You know, that happened. This happened. Are you going to get into that whole tar baby of Trump's 2020 election ego?

You have to do and say as the former president says and does, says Zelen. Yet he says there's two ways that a client could pay less than the growing rate, which he says, if it's going to be a dollar, it's going to be at least a million dollars or more. So, so two ways you can get out of paying that account and that kind of money. The first way is if an attorney is willing to take publicity instead of at least some of the fees. Except this is going to be a lot of bad publicity for the most part for people.

A lot of people have been really, a lot of these people who are co-defendants are co-defendants because they were defending Trump. You're going to jump into that briar patch? The second way, he says, is if the attorney's client flips on one or more co-defendants boom you see that is why fannie indicted so many people by hiring their own lawyers and paying for them separately from trump the 18 co-defendants in georgia have also created a major new legal risk for trump he long has a record of using joint defense agreements, or they call them JDAs, in which he can help choose a lawyer and pay the bill.

One of the most memorable JDAs that Trump entered into was with his 2016 presidential campaign manager, Paul Manafort, during the special counsel probe into Russiagate, which is total nonsense. But as Manafort's own legal troubles mounted, so did the pressure on him to cooperate, which he ultimately did, according to the New York Times. Zellin said, whoever's got the gold rules, if I'm paying for your attorney, I don't expect you to hurt me. A joint defense agreement helps to take care of that. And the agreement is standard with co-defendants who are working together so that they can share information without getting stabbed in the back. But the former president and his lawyers now

appear ready to throw this away and to throw Eastman, particularly, under the bus, according to this Reuters article. Within days of the Georgia indictment, Trump's attorneys signaled in interviews that they planned to blame Eastman for giving Trump bad legal advice about overturning the election. They also intend to argue that when Trump pressed then-Vice President Pence to refuse to certify the 2020 results, Trump was merely acting on Eastman's advice. Jenna Ellis has recently drifted away from Trump and now backs DeSantis in the GOP primary. She has evolved into a sharp critic of Trump, and she has vented about her frustration over Trump's refusal to help his co-defendants in Georgia.

She wrote on Friday, why isn't MAGA Incorporated funding everyone's defense? An attorney representing Jenna Ellis in the Georgia case did not respond to a request for comment about whether or not she would accept a plea deal if one were offered. Michael Cohen, Trump's one-time lawyer who has already gone to jail, served his time for being involved in the payoff for Stormy Daniels and Playboy model Karen McDougal. Michael Cohen is a vocal critic. He said on Monday, he said, Trump is taking a risk by not paying these legal fees. He said, there's never a reason for Donald that you can actually isolate and say, why is he paying for, we know for Don Jr., right? Or for Kimberly Guilfoyle. But

we don't know why as to why not for Jenna Ellis and why not for Rudy Giuliani, he said. He said, Donald is an idiot. Let me be very clear that when it comes to paying money, he truly is an idiot. He's not learned yet that three people that you don't want to throw under the bus, your lawyer, your doctor, or your mechanic, because one way or the other, you're going to go down the hill and there'll be no breaks. Cohen said he absolutely believes that Trump is making a mistake by not paying for legal fees of Giuliani in particular. He said, at the end of the day, when your life is basically hanging on the line, once again,

you just don't want to really throw another lawyer under the bus who is working for you. Bill Palmer, who writes a left-wing blog, also suggested that Trump is taking a risk, that Ellis is not having her legal fees covered because she began praising Trump's 2024 GOP primary rival, DeSantis. He said, Trump knows that he needs to pay Jenna Ellis's legal fees. So she won't flip on him, but he's reportedly refusing to do so because she praised DeSantis. This is why Trump is such a lock for prison.

He's willing to destroy himself just to spite those that he blames for his downfall. You see, that's what I said. It's a Shakespearean tragedy. His desire for revenge, his narcissistic ego, all of this is going to keep him from doing what is right for himself, just as it kept him from doing what was right for the country. What was right for the country.

He's burned the country down, and now we get to sit here and watch him burn his own life down with all this stuff. The legal and political calendars are aligned to conflict with each other. This is going to be a mess. This election is going to be about him. It's not going to be about the country. It's not going to be about getting our liberty back. It's not going to be about stopping this globalist agenda. It's going to be about his personality, about him on steroids. And his, you know, the greedy alternative press and his idolatrous cult are all going

to be there. We're going to take a quick break. And when we come back, I'm going to take a look at some of your emails and respond to them. We'll be right back. សូវាប់ពីបានប់ពីបានប់ពីប់ពីប់ពីប់ពីប់ពីប់ពីប់ពីប់ពីប់ពីប់ពីប់ពីប់ពីប់ពីប់ពីប់ពីប់ពីប់ពីប់ពីប់ពីប់ពីប់ពីប់ពីប់ពីប់ពីប់ពីប់ពីប់ពីប់ពីប់ពីប់ពីប់ពីប់ពីប់ពីប់ពីប់ពីប់ពីប់ពីប់ពីប់ពីប់ពីប់ពីប់ពីប់ពីប់ពីប់ពី you're listening to the david knight show all right welcome back and i just want to uh uh thank um uh the subscriber uh who left a comment on subscribe star david i just upped my weekly my monthly donation to you have seen small donations from me on rock fan from time to time as well like you i work for myself and i

fully trust in god and like you sometimes i just don't know where the money will come from but god is good he always provides i am so very happy to donate to you thank you for your great reporting stay strong my brother in christ well thank you so much for that appreciate that and that is true you know that's one of the things i had a pastor before who he said um it's really good to be in business for yourself uh be independent and not have a paycheck you know he says the guy who has a standard paycheck you know he works for the post office let's say he knows that check is going to be there every month. And he starts to see that as what provides for him. And it's something of a trap. But he says, you know, when you're in business for yourself, you never know where, where the money's going to come from, from time to time. And, uh, you know, a farmer, somebody who's,

uh, working for themselves, any of those types of things where there's that kind of uncertainty, you see God as a provider. And that is a real blessing. It really is. As a matter of fact, Handy, who does EMS and he's got his own sub stack now, he's used to contact us all the time and did again this week. That's one of the things he had to say. Thanking God, he said, my employer started a home health care service a few months ago providing in-home treatments, wound care, IV infusions and things like that and minor procedures. He said, I applied and I was denied because I refused to take a flu shot. Fast forward a few months and today I learned

that my employer is selling that division off. Had I been accepted, I would either be looking for another job, or I would have lost my 15 years of seniority with my current employer. God is good. Yeah, we don't always see what is happening, even when really horrible things happen to us. If we know God, we know that God works that way. And even if it is something that destroys our earthly life, we know that that works that way. And even if it is something that destroys our earthly life, we know that that is ultimately for our eternal good. He also had this to say about the unborn and geriatrics, and you can see this post on his sub-stack as well.

He said, I just had a 21-year-old female having her second miscarriage this year. The child was either stillborn, had already passed prior to our arrival. We checked, but it wasn't viable. Of course, I always ask. And she took two Trump shots in late 2021. It's another one of those things where I can't prove causation, but some of us here in EMS are talking about how many miscarriages we have seen over the past couple of years. I've been blessed to not encounter many miscarriages over the last couple of years, but I have several co-workers that claim that they have never seen so many since mid to late 2021 and on, when the vaccines started.

My girlfriend also has had co-workers who have had miscarriages after the jab. Another interesting observation, where are our local nursing home residents going? I have personally been in two nursing homes in the last week that had a noticeable lack of residents. We used to see the residents housed two per room, sometimes three. But I saw room after room with either just one person or none at all. One facility had just one person living on the second floor, the one I brought back from the hospital. I've never seen these nursing homes with this few residents. For context, I've been visiting these specific nursing homes since 2008, 15 years.

I can't help but think back to the nursing home worker who wept as he described the aftermath of Trump's juice where he worked. You remember that? Remember that? The young black guy, I would say he was in his late 20s, early 30s. And it was in, I think, January of 2021, as these things were being rolled out,

first to the victims in the nursing homes and to medical professionals as well, but especially victims in the nursing homes. And he was, he put this up and he was crying about it. He said, we kept these people safe this whole last year during all this COVID stuff. We did everything to keep everything sanitized and isolated for them. And we didn't lose a single one.

And he said, and then the vaccine started. And, um, and I forget exactly what the percentage was, but it was the majority of them. Um, he said, we had like a dozen deaths and a lot of people who did not die, but they're just staring into space now. And, um, he says, I just, you know, I can't believe that this is what has happened. It was pretty clear. That's why I say from the very beginning, from January, we were seeing stuff like that. From the very beginning, we were seeing things like that,

and I was reporting, and we were looking at the VAERS database, and said, look at this. This is as many people as they've had combined from all the other vaccines for, you know, a year or two. Then it was five years, 10 years, all 35 years. Then it was several times the number of people that had adverse effects and deaths for all that amount of time.

And that's only just the tip of the iceberg, as we all know. Only a tiny fraction ever reported. Harvard study said only 10% were reported. And yet it was even worse with this, because with this, they were actively discouraging doctors and nurses from reporting any of this stuff. Many times, it was explicit threats.

He also says, I just want to pass this along. One of my patients last night was a lady in her early 70s. One of the first things we noticed when we met her was the familiar involuntary muscle movements common in moderate to severe cases of Parkinson's. While reviewing her medical history, I noticed that her Parkinson's disease onset was just a few months after her series of COVID jabs. Fairly rapid onset as well. And I know for a fact I have seen two others with similar timing between jabs and the onset of Parkinson's. I can't prove causation,

of course, but I do know abnormal when I see it. This is why I say over and over again, yes, of course, we know that correlation is not causation, but it is a reason and it demands investigation. You can't prove that it caused it with a correlation. But if you've got a correlation, it demands an investigation. It really does. So I'll say one more thing here. He says, Jason Barker, Knights of the Storm, and I think it's Foxhole Report, is keyed in on falling birth rates in the most jabbed countries.

He says, it's not something that I've looked into, but I haven't run an OB patient since the jab rollout. Maybe coincidence, maybe not, but I'm not the only one who's noticed a lack of OB calls. A coworker of mine brought it up a couple weeks ago. I hadn't really given it much thought until then. So he says, sometimes the lack of patients is as troubling as having too many.

And of course, we are seeing this, a collapse in birth rates. What is that about? I just want to say, and I'm going to take a quick break, and we're going to come back, and we're going to talk when we come back a little bit about some of the pharmaceutical stuff. And just so we get this in before the debate, we'll talk a little bit more about PharmaSwami. But I just

want to thank some of the people who sent us checks over the weekend. Kelly M., David and Deborah W., David N., David and Joan F., thank you very much. It's very generous. Also, Martin T., thank you. A couple of checks, a matching thing, and the rest of this. And John R., thank you very much, all of you, for your support of the program. Since we started, it's been a voluntary thing, and we try not to put this behind a pay firewall. We don't want to do that to people. We want people, if they don't have the money to support it,

we want to make sure they get the information anyway. But we would appreciate it, you know, if it's just something like $5 a month. That is something that if everybody were to do that, we would not have any issues at all in terms of keeping this program going. Before we take a break, I just want to talk about a response to constitutional sheriffs that I talked about. And this is from a lawyer. He says, it's kind of interesting. I gave this to one of the AI programs, this particular one, it was BARD AI, and asked it about the Office of Constitutional Sheriff. And it came back and it says, well, there is an office.

The Office of Sheriff is in the Constitution in 43 states as of 2023. The remaining seven states, Alaska, Hawaii, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, sad for New Hampshire, otherwise they're with Liberty, Rhode Island and Vermont do not have a constitutional office of sheriff. And it goes on to talk about that. And the key thing he says is, look at the way they send it up. When he asked Bard AI, which is the Microsoft chat program, when he asked him about it, it goes on to talk about how the sheriff is the highest law enforcement official

in the counties, but it says that is a misconception. It says that sheriffs are ultimately subject to the authority of the state government. In the event of a conflict between state law and the sheriff's interpretation of the law, the state law will prevail. But that depends on whether or not the people stand with the sheriff's interpretation of the law the state law will prevail uh but um that

depends on whether or not the people stand with the sheriff again we go back to what happened in athens tennessee that was a corrupt sheriff and the people ran him out there wasn't anything the state was doing anything about that to protect the people the people took care of it themselves and then it finishes with this last hit. The last paragraph is a hit borrowed from Microsoft's AI. It's a hit on the Constitutional Sheriffs and Peace Officers Association. It said, it's a group that advocates for the idea that sheriffs are the highest law enforcement officials in the county. However, their views are not supported by the law. The sheriff is an important law enforcement official, but they are not above the law.

That has never been the Constitutional Sheriffs and Peace Officers Association position. They've never said that they are above the law. What they say is that all these other officials, state officials, are not above the law. Unelected bureaucrats at the state or federal level are not above the law. The president is not above the law. Congress is not above the law. Unelected bureaucrats at the state or federal level are not above the law. The president is not above the law. Congress is not above the law. The courts are not above the law. Nobody is above the law. The question is, what is the law and who will stand for it? That's the issue. That is the issue. And that is their position, that nobody is above the law. That is a straw man argument put out by artificial intelligence from Microsoft. As usual.

Okay, we're going to be right back. Stay with us. Using free speech to free minds. It's the David Knight Show. Okay, let's talk about the pharmaceutical control over our elections. We've known for the longest time that military-industrial complex has a lot of control over candidates, especially Republican candidates. But it's also true now that big pharma does. And before we get to Pharma Swami, Tim Scott is the person who has gotten the top recipient of pharmaceutical cash in Congress.

He was the top recipient in the second half of 2021. He got $99,000. He's been showered with drug money. Tim Scott has been a perennial recipient since arriving in Congress in 2011. The latest amount is nearly twice as much as his previous highest haul. Why Tim Scott? Well, he's widely viewed as destined for greater things during his political career. The latest amount is nearly twice as much as his previous highest haul. Why Tim Scott? Well, he's widely viewed as destined for greater things during his political career. The industry needs people like Scott who have introduced several health-related bills in recent years.

And, you know, this is a year old, this article. This is before he ran for president. He's destined for bigger things, right? But if we look back the few years prior to this, he opposes proposals introduced in legislation backed by most Democrats in Congress to let Medicare negotiate prices. In 2019, when the Senate Finance Committee considered a drug pricing bill crafted by Republican Chuck Grassley and Democrat Ron Wyden,

Scott voted against a measure that would have amended the legislation to allow Medicare drug prices to be negotiated. Why is it that we pay more for drugs than any other country? Because of people like Tim Scott, who have been bought by the pharmaceutical industry. In September, as a top Republican on the Senate's Special Committee on Aging, and just to back up up a second we're not even allowed to negotiate prices with these people they dictate them to us right that's what grassley and wyden were trying to do tim scott says no they got their money's worth 99 000 and this is coming from a lot of different pharmaceutical companies but 99 000 to buy a senator like tim scott when these people get tens of billions of dollars from people like Donald Trump.

There is no better return on your investment than buying a politician. And that's exactly what big pharmaceutical companies did and the transition period. And I think Trump knew exactly what he was doing. That's why he brought RFK Jr. in say, well, you know, we need to do some science about these vaccines and see if they really are safe, if they really are effective, boom, he gets billions of dollars. And the next thing you know, he puts CEO of Eli Lilly, Alex Azar

and his head of HHS, and then he brings in Scott Gottlieb from Pfizer to run the FDA. Oh, they got what they wanted from Trump too. Didn't they? So maybe we'll have a Trump, Tim Scott, big pharma team. In September, as a top Republican on the Senate's Special Committee on Aging, September of last year, he released a report arguing that HR3, a sweeping measure from House Democrats to tamp down prices, would result in shattered innovation and bankrupt businesses.

Echoing all the arguments from the pharmaceutical companies. He's been a member of the Senate finance committee since 2015 and total 27 drug and biotech companies or their powerful lobbying organizations in Washington have contributed to his campaign accounts and the latter half of last year. This is where he's building up his money. Right? Again, the two people have have the most money, DeSantis and Tim Scott. Amgen, Vertex Pharmaceuticals, Merck, AstraZeneca, BioMarin Pharmaceuticals, Genentech, his top donors, each of them giving between $5,000 and $10,000. It's almost a sin how cheaply they can buy a senator

and how much money they can make from him. He's also a member of the Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pension Committee, which this year is set to consider an issue of great importance to pharmaceutical companies, reauthorization of user fees that the industry pays to the FDA to help expedite the drug review and approval process. It has to be reauthorized every five years. Well,

they got their way with that. Didn't they? Other Republican senators up for reelection didn't get nearly as much money from the drug companies and they give some of them. We won't go into it. Uh, but, his banner year,

uh, prior to, um, this one, uh, this last one that they're talking about in 2022, where he got $99,000. prior to this one, this last one that they're talking about in 2022, where he got $99,000.

Previously, the most he got was $54,000 in the second half of 2019. Can you imagine how much money they're giving him now that he's running for president? Scott co-founded the Congressional Personalized Medicine Caucus the year after they gave him $54,000, his number two, his penultimate donation year. Fellow pharma darling Tristan Sinema was also in there with him. They were pushing personalized medicine, which promises to use genetics and other traits to develop individualized treatments for patients,

but at a very, very expensive price. Johnson & Johnson, Eli Lilly, AstraZeneca, Merck, these are his friends, his contributors, his sponsors. If only we could get the politicians to have to wear their sponsors like a NASCAR driver. You know, they get the jumpsuits and they got the little logos all over their suits and all over their cars.

If we got to provide these guys a protection in a vehicle, at least it ought to be, you know, it ought to at least have the livery that you've got on a NASCAR. Don't you think? Then you got Pharma Swami. it ought to be, you know, it ought to at least have the livery that you've got on a NASCAR. Don't you think? Then you got PharmaSwami and his endless flip-flops. As the Washington Examiner points out, an ex-pharmaceutical executive who rose to prominence following the publishing of his 2021 book, Woke Incorporated. And he has had some very interesting flip-flops, and one of them is when you look at Taiwan and China, first he said, no, let's double down on the Second Amendment and let's give

everybody in Taiwan a rifle to fight the Chinese. The next thing you see, he's saying, well, let's just make an agreement with the Chinese that we'll turn it over to them in 2028. And meanwhile, we can bring in all of these people who are in the semiconductor industry in Taiwan that we need. He's all about bringing in foreign talent. And, you know, the heck with Americans. That's what he's about. And then when you look at Israel

he said he told a voter that you're open to ending foreign aid to Israel then it was reported that it was a misunderstanding so where is it? well he said he wants to phase out most Israeli aid by 2028 it will not require and be dependent on that same level of historical aid or commitment from the u.s and so now nikki haley is trying to get some money from israeli donors and she attacks him over that but again he's he's back and forth the key thing is this china taiwan thing but understand too

that he has come out when he talked to musk about the trans-pacific partnership he's a globalist he's a pharmaceutical billionaire he is somebody who has um you know pushed uh replacing americans with h-1b visas all the rest of this stuff i mean it is I see so many red flags with this guy. It's truly amazing. Ramaswamy said in April to stop China from invading Taiwan, uh, just have an NRA association, open a branch in Taiwan. See this kind of silly stuff. It really is silly. Then in August, he said she should merely not invade Taiwan until the U S achieved semiconductor independence in 2028. I'm sure they'd be happy to do that, don't you think? He's just throwing this stuff out there. You know, he's a glib conversationalist.

Ramaswami probably feels like he can just sort of deflect on these things and sort of shoot the messenger just because Trump can get away with it. And again, all he needs to do is throw out some stuff like this and see what flies, and if it doesn't fly, he changes it. And again, all he needs to do is throw out some stuff like this and see what flies. And if it doesn't fly, he changes it. His key thing is not to criticize Trump because otherwise, as I pointed out, he can get a, you know, if he doesn't criticize Trump, if Trump wins, then he gets a cabinet position or VP position or something like that. But either way, he gets to make himself more famous, which is what he's really about. Ramaswamy Camp tries to clear the air after comments on 9-11 draw a backlash.

And he's been a real mixed bag of confusion, limited hangouts on all the 9-11 stuff. He said, I think it's legitimate to say how many police, how many federal agents were on the planes that hit the twin towers. Maybe the answer is zero. It probably is zero for all I know. I have no reason to think that it was anything answer is zero. It probably is zero for all I know. I have no reason to think

that it was anything other than zero. You got no reason to suspect anything suspicious about 9-11? Building 7 doesn't seem suspicious to you? The way they collapsed doesn't seem suspicious to you? And then he told allies that he is running in order to sabotage DeSantis. Those watching the GOP primary race have noticed that Ramaswamy's strategy is extremely friendly and deferential to Trump, verging on sucking up. Judging by what he reportedly told some conservative allies when he first announced his intention to run,

knocking out Trump's most competitive opponent might have been motivation. He pitched himself, said sources, as a candidate who could make serious waves in the Republican primary at the meeting. When that was met with some skepticism, Farmaswamy argued that his candidacy could also dissuade DeSantis from entering the race, according to a source who was in on the call. In the lead-up to his announcement, Ramaswamy would tell several other conservative activists that he believed that if he ran,

he could stop DeSantis from running, or he could impact his viability as a candidate if he did enter the race. And so that's going to be a key dynamic to watch. That will be the back and forth between Ramaswamy and, of course, Nikki Haley is going to be coming after him for the Israeli thing. And she'll also come after him for the Taiwan thing as well. But I'll just mention this one last thing as we're leaving here. It is kind of interesting to watch the vanity of these public figures

and nobody depicts that better, I think, than the man who was formerly known as Prince Harry. Harry has just gotten hairier, if you haven't noticed or not. Now he is the hair apparent to the throne. Everybody is talking about the fact that he's gone out and gotten a hair transplant. You know, the rich get richer and hairy gets hairier. It just isn't fair, is it? Look at all this stuff. Yeah, the 38-year-old royal serves as the chief impact officer of a company that describes him as humanitarian, military veteran,

mental wellness advocate, and environmentalist. And now he has luscious locks to boot. Thanks for joining us. Let me tell you, the David Knight Show
