As the clock strikes 13, it's Friday, the 23rd of December, Year of Our Lord 2022, Day 1016 of the emergency. And we've got another emergency that they're planning. They're talking openly now, the bankers and the European Union planners are openly talking about an eco-dictatorship. We're going to talk about that,

how that is going to be enforced upon us. But today we're going to begin the show with a replay. I'll have some remarks about it. It's the 109th anniversary of the creation of the Federal Reserve. We're going to play for you the report that I did in 2013. It's a wonderful line. So stay with us. We'll be right back. ¶¶ You know, it was 109 years ago today that we had the Federal Reserve created.

It was an act of deception from the planning stage until the implementation stage. The Congress deliberately waited until the Christmas break when many people had left Washington to go home for Christmas and then held the vote with fewer people there to get it through. And so on the 100th anniversary of the creation of the Federal Reserve, nine years ago, 2013, I did a report when I was working at InfoWars. I called it, It's a Wonderful Lie, because it struck me how similar it was to so many things that happened in the movie. And I'll point that out. You'll see that. So I'm not going to go through all of that. But It's a Wonderful Life has been called by many people the Christmas classic that was created by mistake.

It passed into the public domain because it had not been a popular movie when it was released. It didn't do very well at all. And it only became a Christmas classic after it passed into the public domain by accident because they forgot to pay the small fee to extend the copyright to it. However, they did play a lot of games and greased some palms in Washington and they got their copyright back eventually. But after a period of time when it became ubiquitous everywhere on cable TV, because it was free to air, so everybody was playing it. It became a classic. But there's many aspects in the movie where you see things being done by the banker potter that are very much like the types of shenanigans done by J.P.

Morgan and other bankers to justify the creation of the Federal Reserve, creating phony runs on other banks, creating economic crisis, and of course, pushing people out of their homes and seeking to control everything and turn everyone into renters. None of that stuff has changed. We still have, they're not satisfied with what they created 100 years ago. They're not satisfied with having destroyed about 99% of the value of the dollar at that time. They're not satisfied with the unlimited amount of money that they can make by knowing when they're going to create boom and bust cycles. They're never satisfied.

People who are motivated by the love of money and the love of power can never get enough. And so they're now working on something that is far more dangerous. And I don't want to talk about that a little bit. The eco-dictatorship that is now being talked about, because we are coming up to a time when they're about to rewrite all the rules of banking. Going back to last March, you had Biden telling every one of the bureaucratic branches, all of them are under the executive branch, of course, right? And so he sends out an all of government,

everybody in government, give me a report. And he broke it down into four different areas, as I've said many times. Some of them, like the Treasury Department, redesigned the financial system. That's what they're working on, a complete redesign of the financial system. We need to have some computer people that are going to write the code for this central bank digital currency. We need to talk about how we're going to enforce it. So we want Homeland Security, FBI.

I want your reports about how we're going to enforce it. So we want Homeland Security, FBI. I want your reports about how you're going to enforce it. And the fourth area was climate. Because this is going to, climate has been the foremost thing in their mind from the very beginning in terms of altering society. And what we saw happening with the lockdown was not only practiced from dark winter on, on an annual basis, the germ games, but it also was moving everyone into the, the same, um, uh, type of, um, you know,

it's kind of a practice run, if you will, of locking us down into, uh, what we basically did to the Indians in the reservation system. What they have done before in concentration camps. It'll be maybe a little bit nicer so the people don't revolt. But they've had these same plans, as I've said before, whether it was going to be climate change that was going to cause global freezing. That was what the first eight or nine years of Earth Day was about. Or whether it was going to then flip and it was going to be global warming and everything was going to melt. It was always the same thing.

And when it came to the pandemic, it was always the same thing, right? Same things that we were going to do if we're going to have a total freezing of the planet or melting of the planet or a pandemic. We still want you to do the same thing. So they're simply presenting us with a ginned up crisis in order to enact this. But they're going back. The climate thing was simply put on a little bit of a pause while they ran the pandemic. That moved the overtime window quite a bit. But the central thing is still going to be climate.

They may create another crisis if things are not moving quickly enough. They may create a real crisis. They could do real biological warfare against us, besides the vaccine, which is biological warfare. But I want you to hear this report. This is coming off of dailyskeptic.org. And this is a report that they got from Deutsche Bank Research. They said a certain degree of eco-dictatorship will be necessary. You see, we had medical martial law. I called it that from the very beginning. I was mocked for calling it that by the ADL, the Daily Beast.

I said, look at these paranoid conspiracy theorists are calling this medical martial law as soon as it happened. We're going to have climate martial law. We're going to have climate lockdowns. They're going to use this as the means to rewrite the financial system and to compel us to do what they say. That's why you have those four different areas there with Biden. And of course, they're running a pilot program right now, and it'll go in stages. It'll first be the Federal Reserve using the central bank digital currency to facilitate things for the bankers, and then they're going to cut the bankers out of the loop entirely.

You know, close the savings and loans, close down George Bailey, go directly to us and have us all be dealing directly with them so they can watch and control everything that we do. So Isabella Kaminska has flagged an alarming passage in a document that was published a year ago, January 2021, by Deutsche Bank Research. It took this long for somebody to notice it. The document was entitled, What We Must Do to Rebuild. Now, Biden and every one of these globalist leaders, every country,

as I said many times, doesn't matter which political party, doesn't matter what political philosophy they pretend to have, they all did the same thing. They all did it in the same time frame. Even though there was no rational reason for anything that they did with the lockdowns and all the rest of the mask. They were all doing the same things in unison, even rolling out the vaccine mandates,

even controlling the borders based on vaccine mandates between the U S and Canada Trudeau and Biden were doing it in exactly the same timeframe, only a week apart, two Saturdays, you know, do these types of things on a Saturday. So nobody's noticing just like they ushered in the creation of the Federal Reserve when people were not paying any attention. At LiveScoreBet, we love Cheltenham just as much as we love football.

And they had announced it months in advance that they were going to do that. So they didn't believe it was an emergency or they would have done it immediately instead of,

well, two months from now, we're going to do this. And that was the pattern. We would see them do something and then say, and then the next step we're going to do is another two months from now. Doing it, as Fauci said, from the inside with disruption and doing it iteratively. Now, this document here, what they have to do to rebuild, destroy everything, build back better with us in charge controlling everything. So this is what the document says.

The impact of the current climate policy on people's everyday lives is still quite abstract and it's acceptable for many households. In other words, you haven't really felt yet what they're going to do. They're boiling the frogs and the frogs haven't felt the heat yet. It's going to be iterative. They're going to say climate policy comes in the form right now of higher taxes and fees on energy.

People are starting to feel that, though, aren't we? Which makes heating and mobility more expensive. And of course, this is written in January 2021. Some countries have set minimum energy efficiency standards for buildings and similar rules in other areas. However, climate policy does not determine our lives currently. These decisions right now tend to be made on the basis of income and not on climate consideration. Because right now it's just hit us with higher fees on things. Limiting our choices by making these things expensive.

And that has been the key tactic. And they keep ramping up the expense of all these things, destroying the supply chains, banning certain things or adding taxes to them and all the rest of the stuff. But, but this is what's coming, says Deutsche Bank. If we really want to achieve climate neutrality, we need to change our behavior in all areas of life. That means that carbon prices will have to rise considerably in order to nudge people to change their behavior. Nudge this, right?

This is psychological manipulation. They call it nudging. Yeah, but push is going to come to shove. The nudge is going to become a shove with the CBDC. So we need to, means carbon prices will have to rise considerably to nudge people to change their behavior. Another, or perhaps supplementary option, is to tighten regulatory law considerably. It says, I know that eco-dictatorship is a nasty word, but we have to ask ourselves a question, whether and to what extent we may be willing to accept some kind of eco-dictatorship in the form of regulatory law in order to move towards climate neutrality.

Again, the MacGuffin doesn't matter. Climate neutrality is bogus. And we need to attack that. That is the thing that they're holding in front of us. That's the thing that they're threatening us with. We need to debunk that. We need to mock that. We need to destroy that. That is a stronghold that is going to be used to, you know, if you say,

well, okay, given that we have to do that, given that those are the goals, let me see if I can achieve this by doing things a little bit different. No, they have one way that you're going to do this. The same as a lot of these doctors found out, the engineers are going to find out about this stuff as well. You know, the doctor said, well, okay, you tell us that we got a pandemic and you're telling us that it does this and this. Well, I don't understand why you're putting people on ventilators. I've got a better way to do this.

Maybe we can just give people vitamin C. We're going to take your license. We're going to kick you out of the hospital system, all this rest of stuff, right? We've seen that. There's one narrative. There's one way to proceed. And everybody's going to do that

or they're going to be purged out of the system because it is a dictatorship. We did have medical martial law. We're going to have climate martial law. We're going to have climate lockdown. They're going to use that to take everything from us. They're openly talking about it amongst themselves. It may take a while for you to

find the documents. This took a year for somebody to find it. But when they say we need to be, we need to ask ourselves to what extent we'll be willing to impose an eco-dictatorship. Who's the we? Corporations, banks, governments. They don't have any problem imposing eco-dictatorships. They love the idea. The only thing that they're asking themselves is... At LiveScoreBet, we love Cheltenham just as much as we love football. The excitement, the roar, and the chance to reward you. That's why every day of the festival, we're giving new members money back as a free sports bet up

to €10 if your horse loses on a selected race. That's how we celebrate the biggest week in racing. Cheltenham with LiveScore Bet. This is Total Betting. Specials and place bets. Terms apply.

or at Send joy. Show grow. Send love. Unpussed. How far can they nudge us, push us, before we push back? And this is why it is so essential for people to understand where their goal is, where they are taking us. We don't want to go there. And if we sleepwalk into this because they take us there gradually, gradually infringing on our freedoms and our wealth, we will find ourselves locked down in that slavery. As Daily Skeptic says, when he says we have to ask ourselves whether or not we're willing to accept some kind of eco-dictatorship,

I don't think he's got in mind a net zero referendum. By ourselves, he means the EU's ruling class. And of course, the same thing will be happening here in America. It has to ask itself whether it is willing to pass laws to force the EU's population to modify its behavior according to their agenda. So we should be grateful that at least he hasn't tried to sugarcoat this. They've said the quiet part out loud. So let's understand what their real leverage is with us. As usual, it goes to money. If you understand how the climate lockdown happened, how did that

happen? They gave lavish amounts of money and privileges and benefits to the hospitals through bonuses and CMS, you know, the Medicare, Medicaid bonuses to diagnose somebody as a COVID a bonus, not to give them effective treatment, but to give them the dangerous ineffective treatments that they had set up. They bought people out. That's how they impose everything. Uh, here, here's some free money from Washington. Uh, we're going to help you with sports and we're going to help you with education, all the rest of the stuff. And then you find out they want to put boys in the girls' bathrooms.

And if you have a problem with that, they're going to pull that money out. So they can give you money. They can pull it out. It's a carrot and a stick. It's always about the money. How did they get that kind of power? The Federal Reserve. They have the ability to create money out of thin air.

And they use that money to control our behavior. Now it's going to get much more weaponized with the CBDC because they're going to be using the money not only to incentivize some behaviors and punish others, we're going to see this punishment taken to a new level, but the incentives are going to be taken to a new level to start with. And they're going to use it to surveil and to control everything that we do. So the EU is now funding a test of biometric payments from digital wallets.

This is the retail phase of it. The proposed future, says Reclaim the Net. The EU Commission will provide funds to a consortium whose job it is to launch a payments pilot for the block's digital ID wallet. That's the retail phase. The project is called the NoBid Project. I thought that was funny, and I think it's intentional it's an acronym for nordic baltic id project no bid yeah it's like gallaburton in iraq it's been chosen to head a multi the no bid project has been chosen to head a multinational consortium comprising a number of companies, such as Thales and iProve, or Tails, it might be if it's German. They're expected to start the pilot focusing on payments, and they're going to have four EU digital identity pilot programs running in March 2023.

They're not taking any chances. They're going to have four of them running in parallel to make sure they've got something they can go forward with. I prove as delighted that the NoBid Consortium has chosen to proceed with the pilot. This project will provide biometric-enabled, verifiable credentials, and can address the emerging challenges

of the increasingly complex world of payments. It's increasingly complex because they're making it so. It is needlessly complex because they want to destroy all privacy. And it is what they've already practiced in China. It's our technology, and they're doing beta tests and have been doing beta tests in China. But now this no-bid project consists of Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Iceland, Latvia, Lithuania, Norway, Sweden. Six states will make up the consortium. Denmark, Germany, Iceland, Italy, Latvia, and Norway. But it's not going to be limited to those states. It's not going to be limited to the EU. This is a global agenda. And of course, if they're doing this, the Americans will be saying, we're going to wind up

with a digital ID, digital wallet gap. We've got to do this as well. Europe may be taking the lead just as they are openly and unabashedly calling for censorship and demanding censorship on social media, they will do the same thing with this. They have been entrusted by the commission to, quote, pilot and shape, unquote, pilot and shape the future of digital payments and identity, because those two things are tied together. Your identity and, you know, the number from the beast, from the government.

The criticism of the scheme comes from both privacy advocates and from companies. European Digital Rights and Association of Civil and Human Rights groups said it would be unconstitutional and illegal in several countries, such as Germany, Austria, and the Netherlands. Nobody cares. They don't care. They don't care what the law is. They don't care what the law is. They don't care what the Constitution is.

We saw this for the last 1,016 days, haven't we? We still haven't removed the infringements on the Constitution. We still haven't taken away from them the powers that they usurped over us. And, of course, as I mentioned briefly, Elizabeth Warren is using the collapse, the FTX collapse, you know, Sam Bankman fried. That's the best way to talk about that guy. It's a reason to surveillance for all crypto wallets. The events are totally unrelated, but she wants to accelerate this. Now, this is something we'll be looking at coming at us at the beginning of the new year.

Her bill would require the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network, FINCEN, that's what it's usually called. It would require them to treat miners, validators, crypto wallet providers, and other such networks as money service businesses. As such, they would be required to collect know-your-customer data on anybody who has a wallet. If you don't get that, you are considered to be a money launderer. The bill would also impact personal self-custody crypto wallets, and not something that you

got on the exchange, but your own personal crypto wallet. It would require networks to identify clients and to track all transactions. They're creating exactly the same type of thing that China did with this great firewall policy. The crypto industry should follow, this is what Elizabeth Warren says, it should follow common sense rules like banks and brokers and Western Union. Why is it whenever they want to run into prohibition and dictates,

they always say, well, this is just common sense. It's always common sense. It's always common sense gun control. This is just common sense gun control's always common sense gun control. This is just common sense gun control that you turn them all in. It's just common sense identification that we do this. The Digital Asset Anti-Money Laundering Act is a direct attack on technological progress and also a direct attack on our personal privacy and autonomy. Elizabeth Warren has already, with this agency that she was responsible for creating, the Consumer Financial Protection Board,

that has already been used to kill several hundred, well, several hundred every year for several years. After the banking crisis, Elizabeth Warren put together this institution that was purging by the hundreds for year after year after year, small and medium-sized banks. And so now she's going to push this CBDC, push out crypto exchanges to push out the smaller banks and put the Federal Reserve in charge of everything. A corporate coalition pushes government to create digital ID infrastructure. Major corporations want to see the installment of a digital ID. AT&T, Equifax, they're all coming together along with Wells Fargo, you name it. MasterCard, JP Morgan, Microsoft, of course.

Many, many very, very familiar names. They're all coming together to push this. So let's remember how they did this to us 100 years ago. I'm going to play for you now. It's a wonderful lie. Looking at the connections, this Christmas movie and the Christmas deception that they pulled. As I mentioned before, it was the Christmas classic that was created by mistake. They lost the copyright on it. They reasserted it in the United States, but it's out of copyright everywhere else. And I'll just mention again, I always do when I talk about this, this is the first thing,

and I think it's significant, that exposing the lies about the creation of the Federal Reserve, how the Federal Reserve was predicted, people talked about how it would be corrupt, how it would manipulate and create crises to their advantage, how it would use inflation.

Bank of Ireland is regulated by the Central Bank of Ireland. This is all discussed. I have the quotes in the clip there. And it was the very first thing that was really censored like that. I mean, you know, Infowars heavily censored, uh, but that was 2013, you know,

they didn't purge everything until 2018. This is five years before that they purged it and said, well, this is, uh, you can't see this in the United States where we have the federal reserve, uh, because it violates the copyright laws. But they didn't have a problem with a full movie being up for years. It was still up. That's where I got the brief clips that I used. And it had over a million views.

That was before they were charging people to watch movies. But even if it had been copyrighted, it would have been covered under fair use. I play a few clips there, but I commented on it. That's what people do with movie reviews all the time. No, their problem was Google and YouTube had a problem with the fact that they don't want people to know what the Federal Reserve is about. You need to know what the Federal Reserve is about, and you need to know what they're about to do now, 109 years after they create it, and coming up in the next year or two. They are working to deceptively change everything and to the entire financial system and to put us into a new level of slavery. So we need to be aware of what's happening with that. Now, after this, we are going to be playing for you some of the best of interviews we've

had recently. We're taking the day off with our family, and we hope that you have a Merry Christmas, and we'll be seeing you on Monday again. We'll be back live. All right, this is It's a Wonderful Lie. Over the last 100 years, the Federal Reserve has created bubbles and burst them, enslaved us with debt, and destroyed our purchasing power through inflation. Yes, it's been a wonderful lie for the bankers.

There are striking parallels in Frank Capra's It's a Wonderful Life to the lies and tricks that real bankers used to create the Federal Reserve. Human nature doesn't change, and the greedy elite of 1913 and 2013 look and act a lot like Potter, the banker in the movie. And many Americans are left like George Bailey, staring into the abyss as their dreams collapse and they face financial ruin. Do we live in a country that looks a lot more like Pottersville than Bedford Falls? What does Frank Capra's film show us about how we got here and how we can get out? When the Federal Reserve was created two days before Christmas 100 years ago,

it was a culmination of six years of fraud, fear, and manipulation. I've never really seen one, but that's got all the earmarks of being a run. The panic of 1907 was used to shape public support for the Fed. The panic was triggered by rumors that two major banks were about to become insolvent, just as we see in the movie. George, there is a rumor around town that you've closed your doors. Is that true? I am going all out to help in this crisis. I have just guaranteed the banks sufficient funds to meet their needs. They will close up for a week and then reopen.

Just took over the bank. I may lose a fortune, but I am willing to guarantee your people too. Just tell them to bring their shares over here and I will pay 50 cents on the dollar. Boy, you never miss a trick, do you, Potter? Unfortunately, J.P. Morgan got away with the deception and was able to shut down competitors and snapped up assets at fire cell prices. Now, take during the Depression, for instance. You and I were the only ones that kept our heads. You saved the building and lawn, I saved all the rest.

Yes, well most people say you stole all the rest. The envious ones, say they're George, the suckers. Charles Lindbergh senior warned people at the time of the creation of the Federal Reserve that it would not stop boom and bust cycles but would actually create them in order to benefit its private owners. Here's what he said, to cause high prices all the Federal Reserve Board will do will be to lower the rediscount rate, producing an expansion of credit and a rising stock market. Then, when businessmen are adjusted to these conditions, it can check prosperity in mid-career by arbitrarily raising the rate of interest. It can cause a pendulum of a rising and falling market to swing gently back and forth or cause violent

fluctuations by a greater rate variation. And in either case, it will possess inside information as to the financial conditions and advance knowledge of the coming change, either up or down. This is the strangest, most dangerous advantage ever placed in the hands of a special privilege class by any government that ever existed. The system is private, conducted for the sole purpose of obtaining the greatest possible profits from the use of other people's money. They know in advance when that ever existed. The system is private, conducted for the sole purpose of obtaining the greatest possible profits from the use of other people's money. They know in advance when to create panics to their advantage and they know when to stop panic. Inflation and

deflation work equally well for them when they control the finance. As we see in the movie, not all lending institutions have the same motivations. Now you take this loan here to Ernie Bishop, you know, that fellow that sits around all day on his brains in his taxi, you know. I happen to know the bank turned down this loan, but he comes here and we're building him a house worth $5,000. Why? Well, I handled that, Mr. Potter. You have all the papers there, his salary, insurance. I can personally vouch for his character. Friend of yours? Yes, sir.

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

where people can come without crawling the potter. In the movie, George gets to see what happens to the small town if Potter didn't have competition from credit unions and smaller lenders. If it hadn't been for you... Yeah, if it hadn't been for me, everybody would be a lot better off. My wife and my kids and my friends... Look, little fella, why don't you go off and haunt somebody else? Yeah, so you still think killing yourself would make everyone feel happier, eh?

Well, I don't know. I guess you're right. It would have been better if I'd never been born at all. Pottersville, the only businesses thriving are vice. People are angry. The town is filled with signs like, keep moving, keep off the grass. Bert the cop actually shoots at George when he's running away and is no threat to anyone. Stand back!

Everyone is a renter. No one has a stake. Now you're Ernie Bishop and you live in Bailey Park with your wife and kid. Look, bud, what's the idea? I live in a shack in Pottersville. My wife ran away three years ago and took the kid and I ain't never seen you before in my life, see? Private property and everyone having a stake is the antidote to Pottersville. You're all businessmen here. Doesn't make them better citizens, doesn't make them better customers. But whether it's the Trans-Pacific Partnership or a global carbon tax, the global elite don't see you as a stakeholder. They want to turn us all into serfs and treat us like cattle.

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

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

Would I? Even if George had saved a lot of his $20,000 salary, would it have bought much a couple of decades later? By even the government's very conservative estimate of inflation, the dollar has lost 90% of its value since 1947 when the movie was made. The Fed's deliberate inflation is devastating to anyone trying to accumulate wealth through hard work and saving. So what is the answer to all the George Baileys out there 100 years after the government gave

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

Hey! Merry Christmas, Mr. Potter! Happy New Year to you! In jail! Go on home, they're waiting for you. And if the public can awaken to the lies of the Federal Reserve, if it could even be audited, Well, hello, Mr. Bank Examiner! It would be a huge step to breaking the chains that

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

I love him, dear Lord. Watch over him tonight. Please, God, I love him, dear Lord. Watch over him tonight. Please, God. Something's the matter with Daddy. Please bring Daddy back. Dear Father in heaven, I'm not a praying man, but if you're up there and you can hear me, show me the way.

enforcement, other patriots. He's a former prosecutor, a JAG, and number one rated defense counsel in the Air Force. He runs a focused legal practice to help people preserve their religious liberty. So I want to talk to him eventually in the interview about some other things that he's looking at right now. But we wanted to focus on what is happening in the military. And Davis is focused on the Coast Guard. Thank you for joining us. Hey, thank you for the opportunity to come on the show. This is a really important topic. It is. It is. And we have been talking about this now for over a year and it's absolutely astounding. And I think it's even more astounding that even as Biden says, the pandemic is over, he's still pushing this. Tell us a little bit about what the Coast Guard

has done in terms of honoring religious exemptions. Tell us a little bit how they've treated that. Yeah, so honoring religious exemptions is not not how I would describe what the Coast Guard has done. You know, my background is active duty Air Force. I still serve as a lieutenant colonel in the Air Force Reserves, so I'm fighting this mandate personally. But one of the things that's happened in that fight is, you know, I became very interested in what the Coast Guard was doing early on, because one of the first things that we saw was not just that the Coast Guard was hostile to anyone seeking a religious accommodation for these mandates, but they actually created a

template, a checklist for chaplains in the Coast Guard to use to try to manipulate conversations so that it would appear that a Coast Guard member didn't have a sincere religious belief. So as soon as we found out about that and got a copy of that very early on in this process, a lot of us started paying much more attention to what the Coast Guard was doing, and we're very concerned about that. Is that checklist the types of things that we've seen where they say, well, do you use bare aspirin? Do you know that bare aspirin was used, that they did testing on fetal tissue with bare aspirin? Was it that type of thing, that checklist? It was, only it was worse.

What it did is it gave the chaplains guidance. They said, hey, when someone comes in to talk to you about their religious faith, you should ask them about their political positions first. And then when you write up your memo describing what happened in the interview, make sure you mention the fact that they wanted to talk about, that the military member wanted to talk about politics first. And that will give you a basis to deny or to say that their religious beliefs were not sincere or that this decision was politically motivated so far worse i mean some of the other trick questions were there we've seen that in all the services but but the coast guard went went farther than that to start yeah to say that this is all about politics yeah you just don't like biden or

something that's why you don't want to do this. So where is this right now? I mean, what is – and the Coast Guard is a little bit different than some of the others. It's not under the – is it not under the direct command right now of the Pentagon because they're not been activated or not at war or something like that? That's right. The Coast Guard is unique because they sort of move in between Department of Defense and Department of Homeland Security. So under different circumstances, depending on their activation status, the mission set, and all of that, they sort of move back and forth between the two. What are they doing to the people when they deny this?

Have they discharged Coast Guard members already? What kind of a discharge are they getting? So they have started to discharge a few Coast Guard members. They are getting a general discharge. So administratively, there's three types of discharge. There's under other than honorable conditions, there's the mid-level, the general discharge, and then there's an honorable discharge. So what you're seeing is the Coast Guard discharging its members with a general discharge, which does take away the GI Bill, takes away some veterans' preference points for most state, federal, even county jobs. Anybody that gives veterans preference points, you don't get those with the general discharge. So it's a significant hit to these military members.

But they're also discharging people who have 15, 16, 17, 18, 19 years of service without due process. So they're using a paper administrative discharge process. You can respond in writing to a letter, hey, we're going to discharge you. And if you don't get to 20 years, you lose your pension. The military has a sort of an all or nothing pension system that these guys fall under. So you either get to 20 years or you get nothing in retirement. That's just, that is just so cynically wrong. And that's the thing, all the military branches that we've seen, that type of thing is just,

it's horrific to take away the benefits, right? When they get right up to the cusp of retirement, or even if they're not right at 19 plus years, putting in a decade or something and then kicking them out for something like this. What type of argument are you making for religious liberty when you're pushing this? Are you saying that they're just not going through the legitimate process? They're just rubber stamping this and throwing people out? Is that where we are right now? What type of things?

Have we seen anybody? Let me just ask this. Have we seen anybody successful in this? Or is it all just a rubber stamp? You're out of here. So we have. And there's a distinction between the Coast Guard process and the other services. So in all of the other services, if you have six years or more of service, you're at least entitled to what they call an administrative separation board, which is a panel of three senior military officers that review the case, decide whether or not you've engaged in misconduct, and then make a determination whether you should continue to serve, if you should be separated, what the service characterization should be. What the Coast Guard has done is they have a unique provision in their regulations that

say under unique circumstances, if it's convenient, and it's called a convenience of the government discharge, believe it, then they can deny that right to a board and they can just paper you out. So for the Coast Guard, there has been no bright spots. In all the other services, we have seen cases where individuals have gone to that administrative separation board, the evidence has been presented, and the board has found that the order to receive these mRNA products was an unlawful order. And there's a couple of different reasons why that we talk about, but they've done that.

So the other services, absolutely, have been involved in some of those cases. We have won those cases when we get that due process. That's not happening for the Coast Guard. I recall one case where it was the board that you're talking about, if you've been in for six years or so, that you get the review, and it was three officers. And this particular officer said he was going to try it not on the basis of religious liberty, but on the basis that Korminati was legally distinct and not available in the United States. And I'm sure you're familiar with that argument. And he won.

All three officers said, that's right, you don't have to get it. It's not been legitimately. They played this game for whatever their reasons. They said that it is technically the same, but it is legally distinct. Well, if it's legally distinct, then you can't kick me out for not taking it, was what he argued. And he won with that. Have you used any of that, or has it strictly been focused on religious liberty? No, I have been involved in several boards where we have made that argument.

So one of the first in the Navy was Lieutenant Billy Mosley's board. So I represented him, and that's the precise argument that we made. Federal law requires that, you know, prohibits. Congress made it clear in 1998, the military cannot mandate an experimental or emergency use medical product for any reason without a very specific exception by the president of the United States. Here, there's no such exception that's been made. And what's available in the United States is not the FDA-approved product. And I'll miss that. It seems crazy. It seems nuanced. But the bottom line is Pfizer and Moderna have not produced yet the FDA-approved formula.

And so the military can't make it available. Pfizer and Moderna have not produced yet the FDA-approved formula. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Yeah. And the military can't make it available. Yeah. There's a legal distinction. I mean, you know, they talk about using something that's off-label. They have always in the past been very specific about what they approve.

And they even play these legal games about the difference between approval and authorization and all these kind of, you know, technical issues that most people like, what are you talking about? But they, they, um, are very specific about when they approve something, they approve it for a specific use and, you know, the tests and all the rest of the stuff. So they just waved all that aside and said, it's legally distinct. It was just amazing to see that. So that's great. You were involved on one of those. Uh, how are things breaking down before we get into the current status of what's going on at the Coast Guard?

Again, we've seen that in the Navy and some of the other places. How is this breaking down across the different branches of service? Other than the Coast Guard, what about the regular ones, Army, Navy, Air Force, that type of thing? How is it looking? So, things are looking good on the religious freedom front when we talk about the Navy, the Air Force, and the Marine Corps. So, there are federal courts that have issued injunctions that prevent those branches of the service from taking any adverse action against a military member who has submitted a religious accommodation, chaplain has found their beliefs sincere.

All of those folks are protected. And actually just yesterday, the Sixth Circuit came out and affirmed the injunction for the Air Force because the DOD, DOJ appealed the injunction that was preventing the Air Force from taking adverse action. Just yesterday, the Sixth Circuit came out. They affirmed the injunction, and they said that injunction remains in place until we get through a trial on this issue. The Air Force is prohibited from discharging or taking adverse action against anyone that submitted this religious accommodation. And this is huge. I can't emphasize enough how groundbreaking that is. I apologize if there's background noise here. I'm

at the airport. But that's okay. But this is such groundbreaking that a federal court is going to go so far as to say what the military is doing is an absolute clear violation of the Constitution in federal law. That's just very, very rare for federal courts to do that because they're hesitant to get involved in what are seen as internal military matters. But it's huge. The Sixth Circuit opinion from yesterday is just very, very well done, groundbreaking in its analysis. And it just shows the Air Force from the beginning, as did all branches of service, but specifically that case addresses the Air Force. The Air Force had a plan to do blanket denials of religious accommodation requests,

and that's just a direct violation of the religious freedom restoration act. Wow. And noticeably missing when you were talking about this was the Army. What is the situation in the Army? So the Army has moved slower than the other branches in the rollout and enforcement of this mandate. So the issue with the army is that every business needs leaders, those with the vision to see where their business is going, those who make big decisions where they matter most.

The Army has not moved as quickly, so the federal, it's taking longer to get a case in the proper stage to get an emergency injunction. That is in the works.

There is a law firm that's working hard on that. And I think once that case is presented, they'll be in the same, I think the army will be in the same situation as the other branches of the service because the law is same and the violations by the army are the same. That's good to know. What is your sense? I mean, it's as amazing as we see Biden saying, hey, the emergency is over, but you're still going to get kicked out of your career if you don't take this. Is there any sense that they're going to back off of this relentless pursuit of this? There's not yet. And it's one of the things that we talk about a lot.

I talk about this a lot with clients that I speak with, other individuals that I speak with. What is the off-ramp for the Department of Defense? Why do they continue to do this, especially in light of other things that are going on? You know, we have a huge deficit in the number of pilots we need. We have a huge pilot shortage in the Air Force. The Army can't meet their recruiting goals. And we're here and practically, medically, scientifically, the mandate does not make sense anymore. And yet we're here and practically, medically, scientifically, the mandate does not make sense anymore. And yet we're continuing to push it down.

So I always ask the question, what is the off ramp for the Department of Defense? Because the problem is because of this policy, you've already had thousands of military members who have left or have been kicked out. And so there's going to be a whole process. It's going to take years to make some of those people whole once this is resolved. So I don't see a good offering for them yet. The politics are not good as far as that goes. this stuff. Before we run out of time, you are involved in a lot of religious liberty issues, not just the military. I mean, that's your specialty, and it's a special area of law, and you're in the military. But you're also focused on business and on Christians in general undergoing religious liberty attacks. So talk to us a little bit about some of the things that

you're looking at that you've been involved with your practice in terms of, it says you're a former pastor, and so you've taken on a lot of cases that involve religious liberty. Tell us a little bit about the other things that you've been looking at and the types of attacks that have been coming. Yeah, you know, one of the things we have to be wise about as Christians, and I advise several different nonprofit organizations and other things, is how will the federal government use tax people to wear a mask in a worship service, for example, is getting involved in the regulation of worship, right? Like to think that the

government can tell us what we can or can't wear when we're worshiping our God is a difficult thing. So we've seen a lot of the fallout from that has been what will the government do in the future? So I see a lot of critical issues. I think a lot of businesses are moving towards very clear statements of faith, very clear things they're doing as churches have had to do in the past. And I think we really need to monitor just, I mean, just this week we're dealing with the Respect for Marriage Act. And I have grave concerns. It passed the Senate yesterday without clear amendments that will protect religious liberty. So I think there is a lot, and I think there's a continued battle. Churches, Christian businesses are going to see disagreements over what you can do. One of the things I'm concerned about is that I practice law in Pennsylvania. I'm

licensed by the State Bar of Pennsylvania, and our State Bar has tried to implement an ethics rule, which would make it an offense, an ethics violation for an attorney to say something that could be construed as critical of those that are non-binary or critical of those that are transitioning or otherwise to seem, you know, if it can be interpreted as harassment or not accepting their rights and privileges, um, us being fought out in the courts, we'll see, but all of those things are out there. So I think this is a time where COVID woke a lot of folks up, but we need to be aware and focusing on these issues because if we don't, we'll be in a situation where we don't have a space to speak out without serious repercussions and persecution. That's right.

Yeah, I think there's a reason why the First Amendment contains freedom of speech, freedom of the press, and freedom of religion, because they're all connected together. And we're going to see that ramping up. You know, you're not going to have—Christians are not going to be the ones who are going to be able to speak freely. We will have to conform to their speech rules and to their religion, I think, is what we see coming. You know, we talked about the Respect for Marriage Act and the fact that it passed. I thought it was very telling how many Republicans moved in on that. And the fact that they had two amendments, one of them could have been passed with just

a simple majority. They really didn't focus on that. Instead, they focused more on the one that needed more than 60 votes. And so it was guaranteed that that was not going to pass. It just seemed to me like there was a lot of virtue signaling that was happening there. They weren't really serious about protecting those concerns. And let me ask you, your concerns, they did say, well, you're not going to, for now, have any say-so with a nonprofit or churches in terms of telling them what they can and cannot do. But they left the door wide open for private businesses, is that correct? And individuals?

That's my reading of it. As I look at the current language, I don't see protections there for private businesses and individuals. That's right. Yeah. So that's going to have to be fought out in the court in terms of First Amendment versus the types of things that are going to come. And we've seen this for the longest time with it. It's just amazing to me to see that the, um, Baker and Colorado masterpiece bakery, he wanted the Supreme court and he comes back and they hit him again, you know, with another one of the alphabets from the LGBT at first, it was like a L or G. And then they came back and said, all right, now you've got to fight us over the same issue with a T. So it's just, they're relentless. They really will not stop. And so we have to be relentless in the same way in terms of constantly

defending things. Do you have, Davis, do you have a website that people can get in touch with you? Because I have a lot of listeners who are in the military. I do. It's themilitarycouncil.com, themilitarycouncil.com. And you can follow, folks can follow me on Twitter, at Davis Yance. But that militarycouncil.com is a great place to get a hold of me. Okay, great.

That's good to know. I know a lot of people are going to have questions about that. Other than the Respect for Marriage Act and other issues that are on the way, what else do you see happening? I know certainly it's brought these issues to the forefront. For the longest time, we've looked at what is the interplay for Christians between respect for government authority and then drawing the line when they encroach on our freedom of religion. And let me know if you need to go. I know that you're doing this from the airport, so I don't know what time you're going to. No, I still have time. We're okay. Okay, good.

But, you know, when we look at this, I've talked many times to Matt Trujillo about interposition and what is legitimate authority. It's a very difficult thing for Christians to understand that. And for the longest time, we would hear, well, whatever the government tells you to do, even if they tell you to put a propeller on your head and spin it, you got to do it unless they tell you something that impinges on your religious worship.

And yet we saw throughout 2020 that people folded on that in many different ways. We had a lot of pastors who didn't, some who went to jail in Canada, that type of thing. We saw throughout 2020 that people folded on that in many different ways. We had a lot of pastors who didn't, some who went to jail in Canada, that type of thing. A lot of fines that were out there that got rolled back. Were you involved in representing any churches that got hit with fines and other things like that? Fortunately, I wasn't. In Pennsylvania, the guidance was always sort of, it was very detailed and very precise and prevented a lot of things. And then whenever we pushed back, the governor folded very quickly and just said, oh, that was just a suggestion. That was just a suggestion. It was just a probe.

Especially in Pennsylvania. It was just probing to see what he could get away with. Yeah. Exactly. We felt that. So, man, there's so much I could say about those issues that you brought up. I think first and foremost, what we need to be doing as Christians is recognizing the spiritual battle that's here. Yes. You know, I just firmly believe we're, in everything we do, we're either worshiping God or we're worshiping man. And I think part of the zeal with which some are coming off church, we see this just ramping up of this ideology. It's a spiritual ideology. It's the spirit of the age. It's worship of man. And we know, look, atheism, secular humanism, those are religions

that always lead to tyranny. Just look at history. That's what you see. So what we have to do as Christians is we have to read the entire Bible, and we have to understand how there is a system of government, there are principles of government that the Bible teaches us that we can see, and we need to look at our history as a nation. The Black Robe Regiment, the Presbyterian ministers taught, you know, the doctrine of the lesser magistrate. They taught how to speak truth to government and when it was biblical, when it was appropriate to resist tyranny. And it wasn't just about religious freedom or religious worship. It was about other areas of life where they believed strongly that there's spheres of authority, and the state was invading

the spheres of authority of the individual, of the family. And so I just think those principles are really important, but we have to wake up to the spiritual battle that's going on. We can't, you know, we can't buy into the myth of neutrality. We can't be meek, and we certainly shouldn't take, you know, Romans 13 out of the context of the rest of Scripture. I agree. Absolutely. I've talked many times to Matt Trujillo about his book, The Doctrine of the Lesser Magistrate, and I know James Coates, one of the pastors who went to jail up in Canada,

said, I wish I'd studied more history, and I wish I'd especially studied more church history to really understand what this is. But he became history in terms of living it out, and he had a very quick learning experience, and he got himself up to speed to understand exactly what was involved in it. And you're right, it is a spiritual battle, and we need to understand where this is coming from.

But we also need to understand, as you pointed out, that if we're going to go into a secular, humanistic, pagan society, it's going to be tyranny. It's going to be survival of the strongest against the weak. We see that in the abortion issue, don't we?

We absolutely do. We absolutely do. And you can just draw a line, you know. Darwin gave popular society an excuse to organize things without God, right, without a creator. That's right. And then we see, you know, the rise of communism and that just an unprecedented level of tyranny that comes right from that idea of atheism, secular humanism, trying to separate religion from the state. So we do, we need to be very aware of that history.

And I think as you said, you're a former pastor. Is that correct? Former pastor, or you're still doing something? Yeah, I served as a pastor elder for a local church. I was called to do that, and yeah. That's good. Yeah, that gives you the perspective to do this. And I think that the church has gotten so weak. I just talked yesterday about how in the UK they had some wacko that was talking about how Jesus was a transgender and he was both male and female and all the rest of this kind of stuff.

They don't have any foundation. They don't have any reference that they can base their church on. And now you see that not even half of the people in the UK say that they're Christian. Most people will say, make a profession or a faith or something like that, even if they don't really have an involvement in it, but they're not even talking about it anymore. It's probably a tiny fraction of maybe 5% of people actually practice that. That is why it's collapsing, and I think that is really the key thing that is going to have

to be there for us to reclaim the foundations of our country, especially thinking back to this last week and Thanksgiving. We have people who are telling us that America was not founded for religious liberty. I mean, nothing could be further from the truth, right? That's right. Yeah, that rewriting of history is so dangerous. And, and we do, we have to, we have to look internally to the church. We have to look at our churches and we have to ask the question, you know, what, what, what are we doing? You know, I see,

again, I don't want to be offensive here, but I see many churches use the excuse of being, quote-unquote, gospel-centered as a way to avoid controversy, right? So being gospel-centered is great. That's the point. But when you're using that terminology to buy into the myth of neutrality, to try to not be offensive, right? To say, oh, we're just going to talk about the Bible. We're not going to talk about these social issues. I don't know what Bible you're reading then, first of all, but one of my biggest concerns is we as Christians, you know, when we're addressing issues, you know, I've seen this in churches where we're addressing abortion and we spend minutes talking about

apologizing for our stance and talking about, you know, helping people and exceptions and things like that. We understand that without talking about the principle. And we do the same thing when we talk about marriage, when we talk about human sexuality. We're acting as if we're apologizing to the world for what the Bible says, rather than recognizing, no, God has given us his word to bless us. This is how we have blessing and human flourishing, even in a fallen world, is following biblical principles. And we're not sharing that message. So, you know, if the church isn't sharing biblical truth

and sharing how it's a blessing, and it's what leads to true joy in this earth, what would we expect society's reaction to be? I agree. Yeah, I agree. And we have to be careful that we don't fall off on the other side. We don't want to become totally political. We've seen the left do that, you know, where they become simply about feeding the hungry and the poor and clothing them and then pushing the gospel completely away.

So there has to be a balance there. But for the people who just want to retreat into a kind of pietism, a kind of monastic life, we're not called to that either. We're not told to say, well, I see the problem. They've thrown you in prison, but I hope you have a nice day. That's not what we're called to do. We're also called to meet people's real physical needs, and that was one of the strengths of the early church, just living life as Christ would in terms of helping people to the extent

that we can. I think that's a key thing that is missing in the churches. And I think even the insular pietism can be just having like a supper club type of thing. I mean, it can be just that simple thing where you have this little insular club and you're not involved in what's going on around you. I've seen that type of approach in my life in some churches that I've not involved in what's going on around you. I've seen that type of approach in my life in some churches that I've been involved in as well, where they just focus on the pietism.

They don't even want to acknowledge that there's anything out there in the real world that they could help somebody with or they could stand in the gap. I think this last couple of years has really kind of brought that to the forefront. I think God has prepared this kind of test for us to wake us up.

What do you think? I think God has prepared this kind of test for us to wake us up. What do you think? I think that's absolutely true. I think, and I hope, and I pray that it does, because we see clear examples of government overreach. We see so many just clear examples of what happens if the church isn't sharing the whole truth of God's Word and isn't, you know, isn't doing that well. And if we are retreating into pietism, I love that you use that word. That's a word that I've used in a warning I've given to churches. I've spoken to is what are we doing? Where is the application outside of the four walls of this building? Because we can have good theology,

but if we're not applying it all of life, if it's not all of scripture for all of life, then we tend to fall into that populism. I agree. Yeah, you mentioned down here you also get involved in some homeschooling cases, you're a homeschooling father. When we look at education, I think that is so fundamental. And that was one of the places where the Church did have a very active role once upon a time, and then it became so much about the education itself, and they pushed the Christianity off. They said, well, you know, education,

the government could do a better job of this than we could, because they didn't understand what was unique that they had to offer people. What type of homeschool challenges are you seeing now? You know, I think that this battle is coming on the future. There are a lot of states with very good laws. One of the first things I did after I left active duty, came back to Pennsylvania. I was homeschooled in Pennsylvania. My parents did it when it wasn't really a thing. They were involved with the Homeschool Legal Defense Association early on, suing Pennsylvania school districts.

My parents were pioneers in that regard, along with the HSLBA. So one of the things I came back in and did when I got back is I helped get legislation passed in Pennsylvania, which created some additional protections and some additional good rules in place. But I think that we have to continue to do is we have to understand that education is so critical, if we just give it and turn that over to the state, we're allowing a state that is not embracing any Christian principles anymore, any biblical principles anymore, that is atheist, secular humanist, we're allowing that indoctrination to occur. So we need to be very, very wary because there are constantly, you know, the spirit of the age,

those that are part of the religion of secular humanism, they recognize very, very clearly the power of education. This has been a decades-long effort to say things like, we hear politicians say this, we hear so-called experts say this, you know, well, you know, you wouldn't tell your doctor how to do a heart surgery. Why are you telling your teacher how to educate your kid? You know, that's just shocking, but we've seen it, you know, the church and families have seeded so much of what we should be primarily concerned with to the state because it just

seems simpler. It seemed easier. It seemed benign. Um, and so we have to have to be ready for that. But every time we hear political leader, anyone else say, well, you know, the teachers are the expert, the school district's the expert, you know, the teachers are the expert. The school district's the expert. You know, why are parents involved in this? That's just, I mean, that's shocking. We should be, that should be something that chills us to the bone. Yes, it is. As parents, as families, as churches.

That is absurd. These are our children. That's right. And I think it gets back to the idea of what is education. Education is not just a technical education. You know, just getting kids out who can read and write proficiently and do math, that is a technical education essentially. But real education has to involve values, and it is fundamentally religious. And that's why it is so dangerous to turn over.

Because somebody's worldview, somebody's religion is going to be taught. The question is who is going to be teaching these fundamental issues to your children. I think that's the key issue that we need to wake up to. And I think that has been, you know, as I said, we've gone through some difficult things in this last couple of years, but God has used that, I think, to open our eyes to what is happening. People who saw what their schools were actually doing, because I've had this conversation with many people over the years

about homeschooling versus government schooling. And you could point to them and you could say, well, this is what is coming out of Washington. This is what the state curriculum is. As a matter of fact, we got this situation. Look what happened in your school. Oh, well, that's different. And my teacher that I, the ones teaching,

they don't do that kind of stuff. Well, during the lockdown, people could see, yeah, it was actually happening in their kid's different. And my teacher that I, the ones teaching my, they don't do that kind of stuff. Well, during the lockdown, people could see, yeah, it was actually happening in their kid's classroom. And I think that was a real blessing, you know, as a silver lining around that cloud for people to be able to see that. And I think that's why you're seeing the pushback in all these different school boards. People are looking at that, but I think they're still going in the wrong direction. I think Christians need to understand that religion is fundamental to education. It's not a side thing, and somebody's religion is going to be taught. I think that's the key thing.

As you point out, people have turned over and ceded religious authority, parental authority, to the government in so many different ways, haven't they? Absolutely right. The idea that the myth of neutrality is so dangerous in the american church and the church worldwide you know the idea that that education can be done without a religious perspective you know again that goes back to the basic principle in everything we do we're either we're either following and worshiping god or following and worship man there's no there's no dividing line there um and or we're following and worshiping man. There's no dividing line

there. And so we're either acknowledging our creator God or we're not and we're elevating the creation. And that's what we see. That's what our education system does. When we take God, when we take prayer, when we take religious faith. Every business needs leaders. Those with the vision to see where their business is going.

We're teaching kids there's something wrong with that. There's something bad about it just in general.

And then we're replacing it with another set of moral values, moral values that we see parents now see we're replacing it with it are a woke agenda or a, you know, a transgender agenda, but all, all of it elevates man, right, as the ultimate, as the ultimate being, and ignores our creator God. That's right, yeah, lovers of self, focused on themselves so much, I think of the poster child for that would be Sam Britton, who is so focused on his wardrobe and all the rest of the stuff, it's like, how can he look after any nuclear waste, I just don't understand that at all, but you know, that's all political. And it's about pushing a political agenda. You know, the way he looks is exactly the point

as to why the Biden administration picked him for that. But just to recap what is happening with the military. Again, the Army is kind of lagging in terms of some of the others, so it hasn't got to the point with that. But in the other branches of directly in the military, there has kind of been put on pause. Coast Guard is a completely different thing in terms of just running this script through. Is that an accurate summary of where they are in the branches of the military?

It is. It's absolutely where we're at. So for the Navy, for the Marines, for the Air Force, if you file the religious accommodation, you're protected. For now, it's on pause. It will take two or three years to get through federal litigation on that. So folks have some protection. It's still destroying careers. It's still pushing people into retirement. I'm hoping to retire in December myself because of all there's no, no place for me to serve anymore. Um, and, and hurting recruitment as well. I mean, not only are they pushing people out, but they're hurting recruitment. It's just crippling the services. It's just a horrific thing that is happening. Let me, let me ask you one other thing. Uh, is it, when it comes to the religious exemptions, are they just not really paying any attention to them? I know it's very deliberate in the Coast Guard to say, you know, hey, these are talking points, now we entrap them.

Are any of them seriously considering the arguments? And if so, are there some arguments that seem to be prevailing better than others? You know, some people said we got objections because they were tested on aborted babies. Or, you know, we have objections about perhaps modifying our body in ways that we don't know, or different things like that. Have you seen any consideration of the arguments, and are there any arguments that are better or worse than others? I think those two are the primary ones. Those are the most common ones, and I think those are the important ones to make. I think it's easy to see how they're

consistent with biblical teaching and why a person of faith could have that, but the reality is the military has chosen to ignore them. The military's position on this from the beginning was, you know, we're going to do this, and we don't care. We don't care about federal law. We don't care about the Constitution. We don't care about the Religious Freedom Restoration Act, and it didn't get a lot of publicity, and a lot of people missed it. But when the federal government was arguing in the Sixth Circuit case, the Air Force case, the attorney for the Department of Justice admitted on the record as he's making an argument, well, you know, we don't think we have to comply with the Religious Freedom Restoration Act unless we're sued.

And then we have to worry about it. I mean, he literally said, well, there's not, it's that act isn't really designed to do that. It's designed to give people a way to sue the government, but it's not, it doesn't prevent us from doing anything, which is absolutely not true. That's absolutely not the point. The Religious Freedom Restoration Act is why Congress passed it. But it was just astonishing to have an attorney admit, well, we don't think we have to follow it unless we're sued. That's one of the things, when we look at Freedom of Information Act requests, that's one of the things that's always surprised me is that, for the most part,

they will deny anything, giving you any of that, deny complying with it. You have to sue them for it. I mean, it's just the strangest thing that they just feel compelled to disobey these laws unless you get a court to compel them to do that. I mean, I've seen that over and over again. Let me ask you before you go, if you still have time, are you familiar at all with the kind of precedents that were set in terms of the anthrax vaccines? Because I know that was a big fight you know what 15 years ago 20 years ago yeah absolutely very aware of that precedent and we've used it the lieutenant Mosley's case where we showed that this was an unlawful order we we presented that information to these

military officers and it really does have an impact so what happened with the anthrax case 1998 Congress passes Congress passes a law that says military, you cannot experiment on military members. You cannot force military members to receive an experimental or emergency use product. That was passed in 1998. It took all the way until 2001 for the federal government to mandate an emergency use authorization experimental anthrax vaccine on the military. And two things fell out of that. One, about 35,000 military members died or suffered from neurological diseases, essentially akin to Luget's disease in their 20s. I mean, we had 22-year-olds that died. I didn't realize it was that many people. That's amazing. Did we just lose him? Oh, okay. Oh, just lost our connection to him.

So I was trying to establish. Go ahead and pull that off. We just lost our establishment to him. I just heard it go beep and we lost the connection there. It might be. We're going to try to establish that. Do you need me to stop and go to? Are we back? Can you hear me, Davis? I'm back. Okay, good. Okay, good.

Yeah, we got disconnected there. I was amazed at how many people died. I didn't realize it was that large. I knew a lot of people had health issues with it. I didn't realize it was that big. But go ahead and tell us a little bit more about that particular case. Yeah, so what happened is then lawsuits were filed based on this federal law based on on issues with the fda approval of the anthrax vaccine and what happened in 2004 is federal courts universally

said military you have to stop what you're doing is illegal you can't do this and once the federal courts did that um the military backed down. I know there was a lawyer who was involved in that who came back to fight with us. Have you been involved? I can't remember his name. Dale Saron. Dale Saron. Yes.

Been very involved. He was working on bringing a big case that has not had success in that case yet using similar issues here. But I actually some of my clients were involved in that litigation as well. So he's working hard. There are several others that are doing good work attacking similar issues. It's just, you know, just like it was back in 2004. It remains difficult to get federal courts to be willing to intervene in any sort of military decision-making. So it's been a challenge. It's just astounding to me to see the utter contempt from politicians for the military.

They have all the lip service about, oh, yeah, we thank you for your service and all the rest of the stuff. And then they pull this kind of stuff, using them as guinea pigs and relentless in terms of pushing this stuff. It truly is amazing to see this. But I really do thank you for what you're doing. Thank you for your service, your service to the country and supporting the Constitution and your service for supporting those who are in the military in this very important time. We're talking to Davis Yontz. And again, Davis, give us your Twitter account

and how people can find you. My Twitter account is at Davis Yance on Twitter. My website is themilitarycouncil.com, themilitarycouncil.com. Thank you very much. It's so great to talk to you. And I'm so happy that you're doing this and standing in the gap.

It's exactly what this country needs for everybody. I mean, so many people in so many different walks of life and other federal employees have had this pushed on them, but it's been ruthless, even worse for the military than it has for many of the others who have pushed back against this. And in some areas, they've already pushed this back, but the military just continues to do this. Thank you very much, Davis. Great talking to you. Hey, thank you so much for covering this and being on this and just appreciate prayers as we continue to fight.

That is the most important thing. They cannot chain our prayers. Thank you so much, Davis. Appreciate it. 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 listening.

He's been a pastor. He's helped people get religious exemptions in this vaccine mandate situation. We talked to him a week or two ago, and I wanted to get an update after what has now been put into the NDAA.

They're still separating people in the military, so I want to talk to him about the current status. These days, life is all...

And even what this change that's been inserted into the NDAA, what that's going to entail after it finally becomes, um, um, after it finally goes into effect. And it's going to be a while before that happens. So joining us now is David Shantz. Thank you for joining us, sir. Hey, good morning. Merry Christmas. Thank you. Thank you. That's coming soon, isn't it? So that's great. Uh, so, okay. Biden has not signed this thing yet. It's been put into the bill. He says he's not going to veto it. I don't know when they did the NDAA back in 20, you know, last year,

it went into effect, the 2021 NDAA went in. He signed it first week of January or something. So, you know, probably looking after the holidays before he signs that. And then there's another 30 days before it's going to go into effect. So tell us what is happening now. I know people are still getting kicked out. And then what you think is going to happen after he finally does sign it and the 30 days have happened and it goes into effect? about the importance of the NDAA, right? So the NDAA is the way Congress exercises some control over the executive branch when we talk about DOD. So what happened last year is there was a fight to do this last year, right? There was a fight to use the NDAA in the mandate. That wasn't done. But what Congress did do is say the worst case scenario for a military member discharged for

refusing the vaccine mandate for no other reason is a general discharge. That still takes away significant benefits, including GI Bill and other benefits, prevents any kind of retirement, future service, and all of that, but it was a concession. Let me ask you, does the general discharge, does that affect your VA benefits, your health benefits, or do you still keep those? You keep some of them. If you have VA disability, you keep that with a general discharge. So it's better, right? It's better than certainly a worse service characterization, but it's not great.

And it's not all of them. And it's not all of them. You certainly lose, yeah. I mean, the most significant one that most people worry about is the GI Bill. That's huge. You also lose things like veterans' preference points for federal jobs, state jobs, county jobs, things like that. A lot of employers don't want a military member with a DD-214 discharge paperwork that says misconduct, and then there's a general discharge. So it does have an impact, but it was an improvement.

Before that, hey, we were being threatened with court-martial. That's what we were being threatened with before the last NDAA. So that's where this started with the NDAA. That was a step. Now what the NDAA has in it is language that says, hey, the vaccine mandate ends. There is no more vaccine mandate. And 30 days, the DOD has 30 days to implement it. That's it. That's all the language does what it does not do is address what's going to happen to those who've already been kicked out or what's

going to happen to those that are in process in some stage of the process or not so once once this is signed into law we can expect the dod to put out new policies within that 30-day window, and individuals who somehow haven't been affected by this yet might be saved. And I say somehow haven't been affected by this yet. There are very few people currently serving in the military that haven't already been impacted by the mandate. That's right, because when you say in process, I would think that everybody's either taking the vaccine or they're in process about this, right? So it sounds like it doesn't do anything.

It doesn't do a lot, right? And there's, so a lot of this is going to come down to DOD policy and what's going to happen as far as the implementation of this goes. So, so here's an example and I won't get into too many details, but last week I was in an administrative separation board for an army officer over 17 years of service, less than three years till retirement, who the board found that by refusing the vaccine, he engaged in misconduct. We disagreed with that. We argued it wasn't a lawful

order, but that's what the board decided. And they recommended separation with an honorable discharge. So the question is, I mean, that's a prime example. What is the Army going to do with someone like that? The vaccine mandate ends. That's the only thing that's preventing him from continuing to serve. What are they going to do? Are they going to say, okay, you know what? That individual can continue to serve.

They can get to the retirement. Are they going to say, no, we gave you an order to get a, you know, an unlawful order, but we gave you an order to get this injection. You didn't. And so you violated that order. So we're still going to kick you out for violating the order. Yeah. I saw that report and that's why I wanted to get you on, uh, because I knew you were involved in that. And, and it was amazing to me. It was the same day that the why I wanted to get you on, because I knew you were involved in that. And it was amazing to me. It was the same day that the thing was passed by Congress, the same day they separate him out. And I didn't know that they gave him an honorable discharge. It's almost kind of admitting that this is wrong, that they're the ones who are acting dishonorably.

But that is amazing. And I didn't realize that it doesn't do anything for anybody who's already in process now. And then, of course, let's assume that they don't get separated. There's still going to be marks against them in their file, right? There's nothing to stop that. That's right. That's right. Yeah. And so the best way to kind of lay this out is just to use an example, right? So we'll just use an example. And you can use me as an example. That's fine, right? So I submitted a religious accommodation to the Air Force. It was denied. I submitted an appeal. It was denied. The same blanket denial for the same reasons that everybody else sees, same blanket language. I was given an order. I was given five days to take the injection. I didn't. Okay. That five days went by and I was anticipating potential adverse action. And then what happened is a federal court issued an injunction in the Doster case in Ohio that

protected me. Okay. That protected me from adverse action or being separated. But many of my clients in a very similar situation, but just a few days earlier would have received an official reprimand. Okay. In the air force, it's a letter of reprimand, the army, it's a general officer memorandum of reprimand. But, but if that had happened to me, that would be in my official file. It would be a part of my official record that I'd been reprimanded for failing to follow an order. And I would be potentially processed for separation. Even if I wasn't, and even if I chose to stay in now, then what I would be facing is that letter of reprimand would impact my performance report as an officer, my annual performance report. And so what I would have as an officer competing for promotion with my peers is a reprimand in my file and a referred performance report. And there's, so that's just as a starting point.

So obviously I would not be, I wouldn't be promoted. I wouldn't be eligible for command positions, other things. It would end my career. It would end anyone in a similar situation's career. So that's like step one. The other thing it does that a lot of people don't realize, and this gets into the weeds of the way the military works, but if you retire, if you're an officer who retires with that reprimand in your file, it triggers what's called a grade determination review board. What that means is the Air Force, the Army could reduce you from a grade, say Lieutenant Colonel, to major for retirement purposes because of that paperwork in your file. So it's this weird follow-on process. So again, in my case, if there hadn't been an injunction, if I had received a

letter of reprimand, I'm attempting to retire. I may be retired as soon as this month may happen here this month. But I would have to then go through an officer grade determination review board and I could be reduced in rank for retirement purposes because of that reprimand. So that's just an example of sort of everyone that's in this process. And, but then, I mean, and again, interrupt me with questions, but that doesn't even talk about what the DOD policy is going to be for everyone that continues to serve for those who aren't going to retire or get out. It just smacks of vindictiveness. You know, it's just, it's just amazing to me to see this.

Right. And so again, we have to look at the history of what we've seen. The Navy and the Coast Guard, we talked about this before, Navy and the Coast Guard were the worst offenders. They were the worst offenders. In the height of this, the Navy was doing things like telling people, hey, you can't leave the ship. You're deployed on a cruise for eight months. You can't even get off the ship. You can't do a single port call unless you either have the vaccine or booster. But even before the vaccine was mandated and the boosters are not mandated, but that's what they said. There's nothing that would prevent the Navy from continuing

to do that moving forward, even with the mandate ending. Cause they're not saying, we're not saying you have to take it. We're saying you can't leave the ship if you don't take it. The other thing the Navy did was they said, Hey, if you're not vaccinated, you have to report 14 days early and quarantine for 14 days before the ship leaves the dock to deploy. Navy did that. Navy also said, you can't go to church if you're not vaccinated. Okay. That, that happened to my clients my clients. So all of those coercion tactics, all of those things that were in place before there was a mandate, there's nothing now that's going to say just because the mandate ends that the military isn't still going to engage in those coercive policies, regardless of religious affiliation, regardless of pending religious

accommodation or not, regardless of pending religious accommodation or not, regardless of how long that litigation takes to move forward. So that's going to be very, very interesting to see. Will the DOD actually engage in a full sea change here? Are we going to see the same kind of coercion and discrimination that we saw even before the mandate was official? Wow, that's amazing. Now you mentioned that I wasn't aware that they had done anything to mitigate the mandates a year ago when they were passing the NDAA. How did that break down? Because, you know, the Congress has not changed at this point. You know, we still have the same people there. We've had an election, but, you know, we haven't had anybody, any new people come

in or anybody exit since the election. That isn't going to happen until January. So it's the same people that are voting on this NDAA in 2020 that did it in 2021. How did things shake out a year ago? Do you have any idea? Was there no, I mean, they still don't, the Republicans still don't have a majority. Kevin McCarthy is saying, well, you know, this is, we're going to block this if this doesn't happen. Well, they don't have any more Republicans there this year than they did last year.

senators that came out and supported this change to the NDAA this time. So there were enough senators, Republican senators senators that took a stand this year that didn't take a stand last year. And so there would have been no agreement and the Senate could have filibustered the NDAA if they hadn't done something in the house. So you got house support behind it. So logically what you hear when you talk to representatives, when you talk to the political insiders here is, oh, now the statistics show us that, you know, this isn't as much of a threat or the pandemic is is waning or we know so much more about natural immunity now. But but the reality is they're also facing tremendous pressure because of the recruiting crisis. Right. There is a recruiting crisis. And so they're looking at this as a potential way to

mitigate that crisis to say, well, there's people, a lot of people that don't want to be under this mandate. So they're not joining the military. So I think there's a perception that this will help solve the recruiting crisis. Well, you know, the story needs to be, I think, how they are going to continue to punish people, even with this small thing. If they're worried about a recruiting crisis, that needs to be the point of publicity to say, do you really want to join an organization that's going to be so vindictive and disregarding of the Constitution and your religious liberty? Because nothing is really, as you point out, you had a big change in Congress, in the Senate, but they didn't have enough votes last year or this year in terms of Republicans in the House to really change anything. So if anything's changing, it's some Democrats who have changed. They've changed because they're concerned about recruiting,

but they're not concerned about what's happening to the troops because they didn't do anything to ameliorate the punishments that have been meted out or to stop these punishments that are going to continue to happen, right? That's absolutely right. And I think they're missing something critical. And this is a critical point. This isn't, you know, so many people get caught up, this is about a particular vaccine or, you know, particular medical product in a particular mandate. It is in part, but in larger part, this is about religious discrimination. And it's about the fact that they're mandating a product that still isn't the FDA version of it still isn't being produced. So you're talking about military members who are seeing the executive branch DOD ignore the law, ignore Congress, ignore the law as far as what's already on the books.

So it's the handling of this and it goes deeper. I mean, this goes into woke policies. This goes into CRT. This goes into transgender issues and just the anti-extremism training that I've sat through, right? All of that comes into play. The recruiting crisis. Yeah, absolutely. I think the mandate impacts it, but there's so much damage that's been done to morale of good people in the military by the way this has been handled even before COVID that I do think there's going to be significant recruiting issues moving forward. I agree. Yeah.

People who are anticipating going into the military, there's enough of them that are going to see all the things that you're talking about. It's a full spectrum of a lot of different things. And it's like, I really want to get involved in that when you look at the CRT and all of the, you know, as you pointed out, the woke policies, I prefer to call them political correctness, because I don't like to let these people pick their own terms. They're not awake. They're Marxists. They're politically correct Marxists. But, you know, when you look at all of that stuff there, you know, that is so telling about where the institution is.

And why do you want to join yourself to an institution like that and invest years of career into an institution that's going to act the way this institution is? And that even is bigger than the Pentagon. It goes to the Congress as well, but has absolutely no concern about the people who are in the service and who have dedicated their life to this. They have no concern to protect them. All they're concerned at at this point is, well, you know, how can we put a Band-Aid on this and make this problem not appear so we can recruit more people into this system? They don't want to fix the system. That's absolutely right.

And I think what we're missing, too, and this is where my faith plays a huge part in this, but what is the moral standard? What is the ethical standard for the military today? You know, we talk about integrity. We talk about character. We talk about values. That's all part of the military. We talk about all of those things in officer training. We talk about how that undergirds everything we do, but what is that morality? What is that ethic? What is that shared ethic? To me, the shared ethic of the military, senior leaders in the military is secular humanism and atheism. And that always leads to tyranny, right? So if their moral framework, if their worldview is secular humanism and atheism, then we see tyranny as a consequence of that. So that's part of the problem as well. That's a much deeper spiritual issue that we need to be addressing. But you can't – and part of my frustration too with recruiting, not to get off on a tangent on that, but they keep lowering standards. And it just makes me – it makes me just shake my head every time because I think, okay,

keep lowering standards. We're going to lower standards. We're going to lower standards. You're telling everybody, hey, we're going to lower standards for the Navy. We're going to lower standards for the army. We're going to lower these standards. That's not how you recruit heroes into the military either. I mean, think about what you and I perceived as military service when we were young, when we were growing up.

Even just like G.I. Joe, there was this idea of this integrity, these values, putting others before yourself. All of these things, this framework, the good guys, right? And it was about achievement. It was about do you dare? Are you even good enough to get into the military? Are you even good enough to do this training and take part in this? And now what we're saying is, hey, we'll lower the standards for you. And everyone should feel welcome and comfortable and happy in our military today.

And I don't think that's recruiting. I don't think that's doing anything for recruiting either. You want to bring someone in and have a successful organization, build up that organization, make the standards higher and challenge people. And that's going to be better long-term for our military as well. You're exactly right. I remember when that was the selling point. I remember the commercials were looking for a few good men. I remember the commercials saying, we get more done before most people wake up.

That's right. It was about a challenge. It was, you know, and that was what they were looking for they were looking for people were going to take that challenge and work hard and and try to extend themselves and that has just disappeared with all this diversity inclusivity and equity and all the rest of this stuff that's right yeah the army went from be all you can be to an army of one right you know and the air force we used to say, aim high, right? Aim high, go bigger, achieve more, become great, you know, and that was part of it.

But you change that in military service, this isn't as attractive anymore. Well, and you look at it, it was a thing that went around a few months ago, viral on social media, where they compared the training of the recruitment videos in China, Russia, and the U.S. It's so sad if anybody remembers that. I mean, it was a traditional stuff that you'd see in the Russian and Chinese armies

where they're doing challenging stuff. It's like, are you good enough to get this done? I mean, this is really tough stuff. You have what it takes. It was the other stuff, you know, that it's, it's, uh, this, this woke, uh, LGBT type of a thing. And, and, and people would respond and say, well, all you got to do now in the military is just be able to push a button.

Anybody can push a button. That's what we're looking for. We're just looking for diversity. It's just like, really? We're in big trouble. Right. Right. Yeah.

We're going to, yeah, that that's still, yeah. There's still a core of our military that needs to be able to carry a rucksack and march for 20 miles, right? That's right. That's right. Well, it's absolutely great. New recruitment slogan says my son has joined the military. We have lower standards. We have low standards.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Do it. Anybody can do it. That's what they're, I guess that's what they're saying. You know, if you are the right demographic, we want you, we're looking for a few demographics and only those demographics. And, uh, if, if you're not that demographic, maybe we don't even want you. Uh, is there

anything else that's on your, um, on your radar about this that you want to tell people? I really think, you know, the key in all of this and my biggest fear and what I've been praying through and talking to other people about is just because the military ends the mandate does not mean this fight is over, right? We don't know what's going to happen. We still have significant litigation going on in federal court regarding the religious discrimination, as well as the illegality of all of this. And I still have, I mean, I'm going to be talking to an army officer this afternoon who's facing separation over this still. That's still in process. And again, even if the mandate ends, they may still move forward to try and separate him

under the allegation of violating a lawful order. So we need more. The hope is that in January, February, the Republicans in Congress will move forward with legislation that does more than just this, but how they're going to get support for it, what support's amendments that were offered in the Senate to try to restore benefits to people or to give them the option to be reinstated into the service if they wanted. And I remember one of them was from Mike Lee, and it was going to require 60 or more votes. And another one was only going to require a simple majority. And I forget why there was that difference there. But you never heard any more about the one that just had a simple majority. The one that got all the publicity and the one that some Republicans signed on to was the one that was going to require 60. And there was no way they were going to get to that.

And I said, this is just virtue signaling. So I was kind of surprised to see that they did anything. But now the more we look at it more closely, uh, it looks like it wasn't a surprise at all. It looks like it was kind of more than anything. It was a head fake. And that's, that's really sad to see that. So the fight goes on and, uh, you're right at the center of that Davis shots.

TheDavidKnightShow.com We know after we had the great recession, the Fed started a massive dumpster fire. They had quantitative easing, low interest rates. We even had bailouts to the repo market. So there's a lot of things that were going on there for years. Then we had the lockdowns and the hush money that poured gasoline on that. We've had more gasoline piled on that with sanctions for energy and other things.

But as dangerous as all that is, as dangerous as the inflation is, we now have looming before us a central bank digital currency that is going to be a tool to see everything that we do and control everything we do. It's going to be the bars on an open-air prison. So what do we do about this? There are things that we need to do locally, especially, and at the state level. And so joining us today is Tennessee State Senator Frank Nicely. And I want to get an update as to what is happening in Tennessee because, you know, there's a Texas gold depository,

precious metals depository, and there is a state bank in North Dakota. But there is talk in Tennessee about putting both of those things in Tennessee. So I want to find out the status of it, talk a little bit about how these things would work, and time frame this might happen. So joining us now is Tennessee State Senator Frank Nicely. Thank you for joining us, Senator. Thank you, Dave, for having me. Let's talk a little bit about, before we talk about the

current status of it, let's talk a little bit about how each of these things kind of operate where they are right now. Like in Texas, I know it was just a few years ago, I think it was in 2018, they put in their precious metals depository. What type of things have you seen from that that, you know, how would that work in Tennessee? And what are the people who are pushing this? What are they looking at to get out of that here in Tennessee? Well, you know, I don't hardly know where to start, but a few years ago, maybe 10 years ago now, Texas bought a billion dollars worth of gold for their teacher's retirement fund.

And that gold was probably half what it is now. And they were storing it in the bank in New Yorkork the federal reserve bank in new york well texas didn't want to store their gold in new york so they they they wanted their gold in texas so they eventually built a depository and moved their billion dollars worth of gold to texas well north dakota started a state bank in 19 and 19. and it's uh It's kind of like a wholesale bank. It supports the local banks and the local credit unions. North Dakota has more local banks than any other state. The local banks can deal with the feds or they can deal with the bank in North Dakota.

I've had legislation in the past to try to get us to establish a state bank here on that magnitude. In North Dakota, all the state deposits are deposited in the state bank. Now local money and city and county, they don't have to put theirs in. They can put theirs in the local banks. But all the state money goes into the state bank and individuals can deposit in the state bank. But the state bank only has one location and they don't offer all the little programs and the goody stuff, you know, give away toasters and things like that.

So they, um, they don't really compete with the local banks. They're there to support the local banks. And that's one of the problems is that we have to sell the local banks on the idea that the state bank, they said, well, we don't like government, the bank of business. Well, you've had it all your life. We got to make them realize that the state bank, the wholesale bank, Tennessee would support the local banks. Now the Federal Reserve is slowly trying to put the local banks out of business. Yeah.

They're going to do that completely with the CBDC. I mean, they're going to do that completely with the CBDC. I mean, they're going to go straight to the customers and there's not going to be any local bank. And they've talked about that openly. That is the plan. That's been the plan openly talked about since the Biden administration took over. But that's what all the central bank digital currencies are designed to do. They go straight to the customer.

There will not be any local banks. I guess probably the really big banks that are too big to fail, uh, they'll cut a deal somehow to be a part of it so that they can, uh, get them to a partner with them. But all the local banks will be gone if we don't have something like a state bank, I think. Well, that's, that's, that's true. And even though they're talking about it openly, as you say, the bankers aren't listening, they aren't paying attention.

Uh, and it's, it's sad. I mean, my economics teacher and at university, Tennessee had married a Dupont and he was, uh, and a banker.

And he said, there's no other industry knew as little about what you're doing as bankers. Yeah. I have an experience with that as well. I had, uh, I used to talk about the fed.

Uh, I, I am the kind with that as well. I used to talk about the Fed. I'm the kind of guy that in polite company, I'll still talk about politics and religion. So I had a guy who said, well, my brother is vice president of a bank and branch or something. And he said, tell David what the Federal Reserve does. And he goes, they don't do anything except clear checks and i said i don't even know where to start you know talk about the money supply and the interest rates and so many other things but they're going to take over complete control and of course you talk about the the bank of north dakota it really has been an excellent uh thing for the local banks because if they've got a large loan, they have to partner with a big bank in many cases to get this done.

But in North Dakota, they can partner with a state bank and the state bank isn't going to poach their customers. Exactly. Yeah. And there's many other things that they've done. They've got a very good local bank network in North Dakota, one of the best. And it's made them very healthy. They've been able to negotiate down interest rates for the smaller banks and do loan guarantees for them and buy their loans from them and all these types of things. But that's just looking at what's

happened in the last 100 years. It's been a great thing for the local banks in North Dakota, but there isn't any future for them whatsoever if there isn't some kind of a state bank to get in the way of this direct-to-the-consumer CBDC. You know, you were talking about the feds there, and I suppose you probably read the monster from Jekyll Island. Yeah. It was written by a guy named Ed Griffin. Ed Griffin has written a lot of good books. He's 90 years old. And every year he puts on a conference called the Red Button, Red Pill Expo.

The Red Pill Expo, referencing back to the movie The Matrix, where you get up in the morning, you take the blue pill or the red pill. You take the red pill while you wake up and see what's going on and smell the roses. He got, got old captain Austin pits of the day and, and thinking about having his expo here in Nashville, but possibly want me to say a few words. So that, uh, that was quite an honor to have Ed Griffin who had written that book. I had no idea. It's still live books been around forever, but anybody that was quite an honor to have Ed Griffin who had written that book. I had no idea. Still, that book's been around forever, but anybody that's interested in the federal reserve at all needs to read the,

uh, monster from Jekyll Island tells all about how it was, how it was started, but with, uh, the senators and all met in secret down there and, and came up with this plan. And, uh, but anyway, well, you know, when I, I, I read the history of the Bank of North Dakota, and, of course, there was a lot of opposition to them from the usual suspects. You know, the big banks didn't like it. Big corporations didn't like it. The federal government didn't like it.

If you were to put this through in Tennessee, you're going to have all of those opponents, but it is the best thing for the people. It's the best thing for the local banks. How do we get that word out? And what is the status of this right now? You've introduced a bill, is that correct? Well, I haven't actually introduced a bill yet. I'm trying to see just exactly, and I may end up introducing a caption bill. Take your business international. Enterprise Europe Network is the world's largest network providing free support

Bank of Ireland is regulated by the Central Bank of

Ireland. That opens the code so they could put the details in later as we get more input from all sides. I've already talked to a couple of the bank lobbyists. And, of course, they say, oh, well, we're a little leery of the government getting involved in banking. But, you know, Dodd-Frank was the first step toward putting these little banks out of business. That's right. And this central bank digital currency will be the end of them. We, a few years ago, the commerce committee, we passed them the blockchain bill to allow blockchain here in Tennessee at the time, I didn't know

what blockchain was, had no idea. But, uh, the blockchain evidently is an accounting system that the technology to allow the center of the Mr. Global, as Catherine refers to him, the globalist, whoever they are. You know, some Frenchman came out the other day and said there's 38 people ruling the whole world and named 37 of them. But he left one out. I don't know who that is, but, um, it's, it's an accounting system where they can keep track of everything you buy. And then who gets your money to track what they buy. They can tax it when they want to. They can take your money away from me.

If you want to, they can tell you, you have to spend your money in a certain time to speed up the velocity of transactions to heat up the economy. And it's just, uh, it's, it's sinister. Yeah. We've had a one, at least a one federal reserve, uh,

governor or somebody, one of the federal reserve banks went through all that and talked about it, all the different things that they could do to confiscate your money, to control your money, to make it disappear. And he said, I can understand why the Chinese communists would want that, but why would we want that here in the United States?

Because that is exactly what it's going to do. It's going to be an open-air prison. It's going to be the bars of that. It's going to be a big brother system that is constantly monitoring and controlling everything that we do. They're going to measure how much or whether we can have different types of food and how much of it we can have, whether we can travel. I mean, we've got the smart cities that are rolling out their objectives, and they've made these public. We'll let you buy three items of clothing per year, perhaps, right? And you'll let you take a flight once every three years of 938 miles or less. That's what they're talking about doing to us. And they will be able to enforce it if we don't

stop this CBDC. So it really is a critical issue. I mean, we can always work on a black market society and we can always keep our own gold and silver and things like that, but it's going to be difficult. It would be much better if there was a legal framework at the state level that was going to protect us with this. So I really hope you can get that through. So you're talking about introducing that and we'll talk a little bit more about that, but give us an idea of where the precious metals depository bill in Tennessee is, because it was something that was run through to investigate the feasibility of that, a study with that, and there's also a group that has been organized behind that as well. Do you know anything about that, What the status of that is? I know that Hulsey from East Tennessee ran last year and I think it went through all the committees in the house and at the last minute, the treasurer, David Leonard, came in and put a huge fiscal note on it. Said he needed a huge amount of money to hire three or four people

to audit it all the time and this independent group says you know come in once a year and look at our books you don't need to audit us all the time and we say we'll do it but i mean we'll work with you you don't need to hire any extra help to keep an eye on us and so that stopped it last year but we'll we'll come back again see tennessee actually has a state bank now there's some some people say that people say that the state bank's unconstitutional. We've had one for years. It's a small bank. The constitutional officers are the officers of the bank,

and they use it periodically to put money in. But we could develop that bank and add the depository. At the depository, you could buy and sell in gold. I could sell you a property, and you could switch your gold in your account over into my account inside the depository. Some people say, well, the states can't issue paper money. Well, they have all back through history.

They call them warts, a treasury wart. Same as paper money, and it can be backed with gold, silver or whatever. But, um, yeah, the people who tell you that are the people who don't have any gold or silver backing up their paper. Right. Well, Catherine, Catherine, all fit said, you know, the central banks are buying gold.

I read the other day where China had about 300 uh million tons of gold in the last little bit there was a mystery buyer buying gold and it turns out it was China they're trying to buy gold they bought it a lot of from Russia and of course right now America has four times as much gold as China everybody worries about China and they're buying gold like crazy, but we still have supposedly a lot of gold. Now I'm ever when Reagan tried to do an audit at Fort Knox, he was never able to do it, they wouldn't let anyone in to see if there's any gold at Fort Knox or not. I just got a feeling that gold at Fort Knox has ended up in the Federal Reserve Bank vaults in New York. Yeah.

Yeah. Could be. Yeah. You know, that that's talking about auditing the gold and whether or not there was anything there. When you look at the Shanghai Gold Exchange, that's supposed to be where all the gold and the silver are for things like paper gold and paper silver

that are traded as, you know, kind of as derivatives. But who knows if it's there? I mean, I saw that was in Shanghai. I was like, well, I wouldn't want to have anything to do with that. And so that's why it's important for people to have a physical gold in a depository that they can trust. And it would be a big boon to the state of Tennessee, certainly to have that there.

Well, is there a sales tax in Tennessee on precious metals? No, there wasn't until this last year. I reprimanded Bud Hulsey and I passed the bill to remove the sales tax from gold and silver. Good. So we don't have a tax on it now. Well, you guys are moving in the right direction. You're doing some really good things to take the sales tax off

and try to push for a depository and a state bank. You mentioned earlier that there is a Tennessee state bank. How does that work? Is it, I've not heard of that before. Well, it's, uh, I didn't know about it either, but I've talked when I was first started talking about a state bank with the treasurer, he said, well, actually we do, we already have a state bank. And, uh, he said occasionally, and I, he didn't go into any detail, but occasionally we need to put, we put bank in our foot money in

our state bank, we use it to money money through. So we actually already have one. So it's, um, it's nothing like the one in North Dakota, but it's technically a state bank. I think they call it the Tennessee trust. Mm-hmm. Well, that's interesting. Talk a little bit about, since you're putting together

a package to try to get a state bank through, talk a little bit about the advantages of a state bank, both to the state of Tennessee as well as to consumers. We talked a little bit earlier about the advantage

to some local banks, but what are the advantages to the state and to the people of the state? Well, the state, we have a lot of money. We have 50 billion dollar budget. When I, when I first came here in 1988, we had 8 billion. I think 1980 was Tennessee's first billion dollar budget.

So when 42 years, we've gone from 1 billion billion to 52 we've grown a little over a billion a year for the last 40 years wow so that's 50 billion is a lot of money we also have 70 billion or we had 70 billion before the little downturn in the stock market i guess it's 60 now i hope it's still 60. yeah's the retirement system. We've tried through the years to get someone interested in putting money in the retirement system, but the treasurer says, well, the retirement system needs to make 6% to keep it going. And he's afraid the gold silver wouldn't do that. He wants to put it in the rainy day fund, which either would be five feet uh we've got like a three

somewhere between a three and five billion dollar surplus right now in tennessee after we've abolished four major taxes we abolished the inheritance tax the gift tax the halls income tax and a professional tax and cut the tax on food and uh cuts tax for the farmers this year and we're still having billion dollar surpluses so that's great and that's what gave you the part of what gave you that surplus is cutting taxes it is it is but you can't explain that and i'm not smart enough to somebody might but i can do it i've tried but if we can figure out a way to do that to explain it to liberals so they can understand it, they think it's a one-time thing.

Even a lot of conservative things. Well, it happened that time won't happen again. Well, it happened all back through history. It always does. Yeah. And the bad thing is that they think that,

uh, they'll talk about it being an expenditure, uh, or their money as if it's their money. They think that they own everything. And, uh, you know, we, we can't give you any of this. And it's like, wait a minute. It was our money. They think that they own everything and, you know, we can't give you any of this.

It's like, wait a minute, it was our money to start with that you're taking. But, yeah, it's just, you know, taking less of a bigger pie and letting the pie grow. It's just that simple. So you got a lot of money in Tennessee. So how is that from the state standpoint? Is the state bank something that would greatly reduce their fees and things like that to make that more profitable? Well, at least we would know where our money, instead of having our money invested with the northeastern banks in New York and around,

we would know where our money was invested. North Dakota invested a lot of their money back in North Dakota. And, you know, like Ford coming in down here, you know, they're going to need a lot of their money back in north dakota and and you know like forward coming in down here you know they're going to need a lot we can invest with them we can invest in we can invest in tennessee if we wanted to invest in wall street fine we could but we would have more control over the money that we do have in our bank and it really has helped the uh the state of north dakota through the depression. You know, we could wind up having another one of those. There's nothing that prohibits that, certainly

with the economic perfect storm that's coming at us. But it helped to pay teachers during the Great Depression. It's helped them through other economic downturns. It's helped them to reinvest money back into the infrastructure in North Dakota as well. Yeah. And that gets teachers on our side. No, during the great depression, the teacher repaid with warrants, the banks would cash those in with 15% discount back in North Dakota would cash man at face value. Yes.

That, that made a 15% increase to the teacher. So the teachers and North Dakota appreciated the state bank. That's right. You know, cash in their warrants at foot at face value. That's right. Yeah, absolutely.

Uh, for the consumers, what are the advantages for a state bank? Well, there are lots of them. I don't know exactly what at a 15 selling stuff to conservative. You need to put in a 15 second sound bite. And I don't know how you can boil it down to 15 seconds. If it gets to 25 seconds, you lose them.

But we'd have to work on that, how we're going to. But one thing, as people learn about this central bank digital currency, and they learn about the Federal Reserve going direct back in 2019. And when they bypassed the banks, they bypassed the local banks, where the consumer does his business down here at the local community bank. When the Federal Reserve in 2019 in Jackson, Wyoming, when they decided to give BlackRock the money and let BlackRock buy assets, they bypassed the banks. They went direct to get the money supply up. And I've thought all along for years, after a long run of inflation, you go into deflation

regardless of what the government does. And so the bank people weren't borrowing money fast enough to keep the money supply up, they had reserve currency for the world. And John Maynard Keynes, one of the few things he said that proved to be correct after a hundred years was that no one country needs to be the reserve currency, have the reserve currency. So we couldn't get the money supply up fast enough by running it through the banks, even with interest rates that half a percent

so they had to go direct through black rock and blackrock's buying up they buy whole subdivisions pay 120 percent of what the developer is asking they between blackrock vanguard and state street they own 10 of every major corporation on wall street you read down what they their portfolio and it is unbelievable blackrock owns vanguard Vanguard old black rock and you ask, well, who owns black rock? It's black rock incorporated on black rock. Well, who black rock and you can't find out, you don't know. It's just all a game.

Yes, it is. And they're out of trick. A lot of people think that the federal reserve is out of tricks. They run this fiat money since 1971. That's the longest in the history of the world. Genghis Khan had paper money and Marco Polo told him about it

in Europe, but he said he could only make it last seven years. Well, we've done better than Marco Polo and Genghis Khan did. We've run two or three years now, so I don't know how much longer this fiat money will last then but if i think the first thing we got to do is tell people listen to the guy from the federal reserve when he tells you about central bank digital currency and how he's going to put it

on your phone and how he's going to track everything you spent and he can make you stay at home because you can't buy gas more than so many miles from home. That's right. And if that ever sink in, I think that's a, well, maybe we better have a state bank and maybe we better at Tennessee issue somebody we were backed by silver back with old, whatever. And of course, if they did this, it would actually be, it would make the black market in Russia look like nothing. Yeah. America,

we're good at everything. And we'd be really good at black market. Well, you know, and that is the fallback position, but maybe there's something we can do to keep from, from getting regulations on a black market. Well, I think you're absolutely right. I mean, we don't need a sound bite. What we need to do is educate people about what the CBDC is and what it's going to do to their lives. And they're making no secret of it. That's the amazing thing to me about it.

And I was very disappointed to see, you know, we just had elections. And, you know, Joe Biden gave out every one of the executive branch bureaucracies instructions on reports that he wanted back. He did that back in March, the beginning of March. He said, I want the information back in six months. And he broke it down into how you're going to completely redesign the financial system. How are you going to enforce this on people? Some people who are going to design the software and then how they're going to market it. And so they had this plan. They're rolling out. Their pilot is already happening right now.

And all of the banks are doing this. And they're doing it gradually. They're starting out at the wholesale level. And I guess at that point, maybe still even the local banks don't really understand what's going on. They'll say, well, they're just clearing checks, you know, like that vice president of the bank that my friend knew. But I think that the key thing, we can talk about the inflation stuff and all of the things that have been prepared there. But you're right, it is the CBDC that is unquestionably the reason that we've got to have a state bank. All of the rest of this stuff has been looming over our heads, and they may be able to keep this spinning the plate on the stick for a while longer. But this CBDC thing is coming after us. And so it's not really about economics at that point.

It's not about, well, can we make this a little bit more efficient? Can we help the banks to stay in business and thrive? Can we buy the loan rates down? All of these different types of things. It's no longer strictly financial. This is about surveillance and absolute control. And if people understand that, then they will go to a state bank and it really doesn't matter even if the state bank is more expensive if we value our freedom. Well, you're exactly right. I mean, there's in India, I read the other day about a lady in India who had done nothing wrong, but through a computer glitch,

they cut her off and she died because she couldn't buy anything with her smartphone and her friends got tired of feeding her. Maybe she didn't have any friends. I don't know, but it's just unbelievable the control that they have through this blockchain and artificial intelligence. That's right. The Aadhaar system in India was a brain trialed of a bill Gates and Rockefeller foundation, the ID 2020.

I just talked yesterday to an individual who's from India. He's spent all of his life here in the U S as a, an engineer at one to warn people about biometric surveillance and smart cities and things like that. But he talked about how it was in India, and they gradually rolled this thing out saying, well, you know, we'll give you some free services, but you got to sign up for the Aadhaar system and get that government digital ID. And now it's essential if you want to do any business. And as you pointed out, if you don't have it, you're going to starve. They'll shut you off of everything. They'll shut you off of medical care, food, travel, everything. And we've already seen what that looks like in

social media. We've seen what it looks like with a protest in Canada. If they don't like you, they don't like your politics, they don't like your religion, they will shut you off. That's the whole point of all this stuff. So it is essential to our survival to get some of these things through so i really do hope that you can make some headway there and um you know let me know i'm i'm in uh tennessee let us know and i'll get the word out to people uh uh get them to me and let me know it's uh like we're in infant stages. We've got some good people working on it. And the interesting thing, most times in politics, when somebody comes

with something, they're trying to make a buck off of it. The people that are pushing this, they're, they're trying to save America and save Tennessee for the grandchildren. They're not trying to make it. They're just trying to save what we have. And that's the key thing. You know, if you get something like this together and, um, and it becomes a bulwark against this CBDC, other states can do the same thing as well. You know, all it takes is a couple of states who understand what the issue is and can sell it and get it clear to people what is happening and it'll start to catch fire.

So it's going to be whoever does it first is going to have a real battle ahead of them because there's the other side understands this. The opposition understands this as well. Well, there's some powerful people in Alabama that are interested in this and state compacts are perfectly legal. We're involved in lots of state compacts with other states. We can form a compact with a few states around us. Um, perfectly legal.

That'd be great. Are each other's state money or whatever we have to do. And I tell people, I said, you know what a Dixie is? And I said, well, what do you know what a Dixie is?

No, I wish I wasn't Dixie. You know what Dixie was? What was that? The Mason Dixon? What? Issued by the French banks and the Orleans. The Orleans bank would issue currency.

And our bills called a Dixie. Oh, really? Yeah. He was, he was the old black gentleman that wrote the song. He was up north wanting to be back in the land of Dixie land of the $10 French bills. I was in, uh, I was in Hong Kong and we were looking at the currency there. And, um, and I started looking at it closely, and very different colors and different designs for the same denomination.

But they were all Hong Kong dollars, and they were the same year and everything. It's like, what's going on with this? And then I realized they had private banks there. And this was about 15 years ago, so I don't know if this is still the situation. But they had private banks who kind of operated the way we used to here in the United States before we had a central bank. You'd have a private bank and it would have to have reserves and it would issue script on that bank. And, you know, part of it was trusting that bank, you know. So it was that that's still 15 years ago, still the case in Hong Kong, like we used to have back in the early 1800s in the U.S.

Well, the trust is the only thing keeps us daughter going. That's right. I've talked to people who traveled internationally and they say, even though we're worried about the dollar, it's still the strongest thing in the world economy is that people want to save money, but they have a hundred dollar bills and so they trust America. Uh, they don't trust China. They don't trust Russia.

So we've got that going for us, and we hope we don't lose that trust. But if it's central bank digital currency, that trust is gone. That's right. That's right. And they will quickly consolidate all of them with a global ID and a global CBDC. But, you know, the other part of it is that we're weaponizing our currency at the same time. It's been a great free ride for them because relative to all the other fiat currencies, they look good, but we're using it as a weapon

and that's going to backfire. It already is backfiring. You've already got other countries that are working together to try to get around that system because they understand that we have essentially unlimited money that we can print if they don't stop that. And that type of thing has already happened with Bretton Woods too. They understood that after World War II and the Bretton Agreement, the U.S. was going to be the standard because we had most of the gold in the world. And then the U.S. was not doing it

honestly. They were issuing a lot more paper than they had gold. And so then that caused a bit of a crisis. They got the petrodollar out of that. But it is going to be, you know, regardless of whether or not they reset the currency, regardless of whether or not we have massive inflation or even hyperinflation, it still comes back down to the CBDC. I think that has to be the issue on how we sell this. And it is a real existential issue, I think, to try to stop that thing. Actually, this is what you know about the rich nations, you know, Brazil, Russia, China, India. They're trying to come up with a currency backed by gold, which would,

if they could do that, and it would take a while, but if people ever got to trusting their currency backed by gold, which would, if they could do that, and it would take a while, but if people ever got to trusting their currency backed by gold, that would really be hard on the dollar. But if they come out with a currency backed by gold, how does that work in with these CBDCs, these central bank digital currencies? Well, I think they will still be fiat currencies because it's really about control. But they could make a case that it was gold-backed, whether or not that was true or not.

They could always run that out there. I mean, we ran that scheme for a while, even though we were printing more paper money. And so they could say, well, we've got enough gold to back it, whether they do or not, whether they get rid of the gold under the table. But the key thing is that whoever can get this central bank digital currency established, that puts them in control. And once they're in control,

they don't really have to worry about whether they're honest with the gold. I think they can pretty much do whatever they want. Don't you think? Well, you have probably right. Yeah. I think all bets are off. Once they get that,

we're done. And so that is a very important thing. And we need to get the word out on CBDC. I hammer that all the time with people. And the problem is that the people think that they look at these things and they think they're going to happen at some point in the future. They just don't think it's going to happen maybe even in their lifetime or in the next few years. And they don't realize how quickly this is intended to roll out. Every country right now is working on some kind of CBDC.

Just as we saw with the pandemic, they all had this new approach to a pandemic, and that was to lock everybody down and keep them down until you got a vaccine, and they all need to take the vaccine, and they all got to get the vaccine passport and all the rest of the stuff. All of the countries were operating in lockstep. They were all doing things they'd never done before, doing the same thing at the same time. And it's going to happen again with this CBDC because these people got a plan. They want to get everything in place by 2030.

The UN, World Economic Forum, they've got a set date. And as you know, you know, successful people don't just have goals. They got goals and timelines. They've got a date that they want this established. And these people do, they have that date already set and they're going to be pushing us very hard towards that. I think. That was an amazing thing about the COVID shutdown is how coordinated it was around the world. Yes.

They were sending out test kits a year before the COVID came out to make sure all the third world countries had test kits. It is the whole thing orchestrated, coordinated. And the fact that they can do it around the world was really amazing. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. We can say it's orchestrated. They won't.

We'd say it was a conspiracy. They would. We can say it's orchestrated and we're okay but uh but it was it was all of those things it was a criminal conspiracy and the same the amazing thing is is that they put the plans out there and and people don't even pay attention to them you know the c40 organization uh 75 uh cities that uh large cities and uh they have uh put out specific goals about how they don't want to have any private cars.

They want to keep people, uh, within a 15 minute area. They're going to create, uh, neighborhoods that are 15, you know, uh, where you don't have to travel more than 15 minutes and you can walk everywhere and, uh, you don't ever need to leave that area and you will never leave that area. They're going to prohibit you from doing it. And they will track you. And all of these things, the IDs, the passports, the currency, the CBDC, it's all designed to surveil and to control your movement, your purchases, everything about your life, what you eat, the clothes that you wear, and of course, whether you travel or not.

So that is the world that they're designing for us. And it's just hard to get people to understand that they're serious about this and they have the capability to carry it out if we don't stop them. If we all stand up and say, no, we don't want that, we can back them down and we can do it peacefully. But, you know, people just can't bring themselves to understand that someone would want to do this and that they would have the technology to do it. And that's the thing that is really dangerous to us, I think. You mentioned the word peaceful there. I listened to an interview several years ago about how to peacefully get out from under the Federal Reserve without a revolution or an economic downturn or whatever.

And the way to do that is slowly the banks have their own state banks, their own wholesale banks, little mini central banks, whatever you want to call it, the different states do that, then we gradually get out from under the federal reserve peacefully. I agree. Yes, I agree. Everybody likes peace. That is the goal. We can talk about the economics of it. We can talk about the financial advantages of it.

Just like we can talk about the advantages of it. We can talk about the financial advantages of it, just like we can talk about the advantages of having gold. But all of this is about freedom and independence, independence from a central bank, independence from a global digital currency. These are the things that we're fighting for. All the rest of this stuff is going to be a long-term advantage for sure. But in the near term, we've got to understand that we have to pay whatever the price is in order to get free of the CBDC and to get free of these other control mechanisms that they put in place. And there is a way to peacefully do it. It really is about education. I think

that's why they work so hard to control speech and to control what people hear, to control the narrative, because if people understand the alternatives, it's going to be very clear to them what they need to do. Thank you so much. Yes, go ahead. By far, Washington's congressmen and the senators, have you ever heard a congressman or a senator mention CBDC? That's what I'm saying, yeah. We just had the election.

I said, why haven't any of the people in Washington said anything about that? And that's why I said the issue is going to be... I'm sorry, go ahead. Do they talk about the Great Reset? Do they talk about Federal Reserve going direct? Why is Congress, are they all blackmailed or subdued or threatened? Why do none

of them? I've never heard a congressman or a U.S. senator mention any of this. That's right. None of them. None of them. And that's what I said in talking about the last election. I said, you know, the solution is bottom up. The solution is local communities and the state government, because nobody at the federal government, they all know about it. It's being talked about by the Federal Reserve. It's being talked about the U.N.

All the different governments are running programs. Why are they not talking about this? Biden is running this. Why wouldn't some of the Republicans say, you know what Biden is getting ready to do? Let me tell you what he's going to do. Nobody said anything about that throughout this entire election. That is a big tell, isn't it? What people didn't realize is the states created the federal government. Yes. The states created the local governments. The state is the parent. The local governments the state is the parent the local governments and the federal government of the children that's right we're the parents we're

the drivers why are we letting washington force this on us why are we not standing up more against them at just uh i you know the war between the states and the great depression kind of you know gave them beat us down into submission and and made us think that the federal government was the answer to everything and the solution to everything. But it's not. It's the federal government's problem. I agree. Yeah. Yeah, Reagan got that right.

You know, they had, and I think a lot of it, Senator Nicely, is the fact that the federal government has this fiat currency. And so they can just shower money on people. That's how they get everybody to do everything that they want. Uh, would you like to have a couple hundred billion for a new highway or something? Well, we'll do that. Just do what we tell you to do. And then also, uh, conversely, uh, you want us to take away all that money that we just promised you? Well, we'll do that if you don't do what we tell you to do so that's the power of the federal reserve uh the the ability to just you know shower out all this money gives washington unlimited power to intimidate to persuade to coerce the states to do whatever they want

and so it is the federal reserve i think that has really turned the states into the slaves of the federal government, I believe. Probably, probably is. I mean, I can't speak to that. Yeah. Yeah. But we, if we get some more senators like you, we can change this. Thanks. I really do appreciate what you're doing. And again, you know, let me know and I'll, I'll put information out to people in Tennessee, see what we can do to help. But I think the key thing that we have to focus on is the CBDC and educating people about that.

Yes. Well, I do too. And when the Federal Reserve is openly talking about it, I mean, they should believe it. I mean, it's almost like they got here but can't hear. Yeah. They don't want to hear. Yeah. Well, thank you very much, Senator Nicely.

Thank you for having me. Anytime. Appreciate it. Bye-bye. 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, and joining us now is someone who has a long career in tech, and he wants to tell us where he sees this going, into smart cities, the Internet of Things, and other things. His name is Aman Javi.

He has a BS in electrical engineering. He has a master's in chemistry. He has a master's in electrical engineering from Penn State, and he studied computer science at Stanford. He has 25 years' experience in tech, and he's very concerned, as many of us are, about the direction that things are going, and a big brother, but especially digital ID.

And we want to talk a lot about that. He's originally from India, so he also knows what was happening with Aadhaar system in India, where they rolled out a lot of this stuff. So joining us now is Aman Jabi. Thank you for joining us, sir. Thank you so much for having me. I appreciate it.

And tell us where people can find you. You've got a Facebook page, right? Is that correct? I do have a Facebook page. I sometimes post there. I try to post high-quality content that's relevant to everybody. Okay, and where can people find you there? Just my name on Facebook. Okay. A-M-A-N-J-A-B-B-I. Okay, good. That's right. BBI. Okay, good. All right, well, tell us a little bit about, you know, let's begin in India, the Aadhaar system and how they implemented that. A lot of people, you know, Bill Gates says that

everybody wants a digital ID. A lot of people don't and don't realize that that's what we desperately need. So how did they rope people into that system? And tell us a little bit about that system before we get into the U.S. Sure. So Aadhaar is basically an equivalent of a digital ID. It was rolled out in India sometime, I think about five years ago at least. It wasn't fully mandatory, but then it started to become linked to everybody's, you know, whether you've got food stamps or you had to get a bank account or you had to withdraw cash. So it was, everybody was pulled into that system, but it really started with, I think this was in 2017 where they had a demonetization of certain, uh, you know, currency notes of the rupee of the Indian rupee and with that demonetization,

people couldn't withdraw their money basically went away if they had cash savings at home, and then they introduced something called Paytm. It's like a Venmo or it's an electronic payment system. And initially it was free. So they started doing transactions through a digital application. And so people started to use that, poor people, farmers, everyone who had some sort of a cell phone or a smartphone. And they linked it to the Aadhaar, which is the biometric ID.

And then over the years, pretty much everyone has an Aadhaar system. So you need your Aadhaar system to pay taxes, to open or access your bank accounts, and for pretty much everything. So initially, they kind of make it as, here's some free stuff, and we'll help you if you need welfare. You'll have to get on the Aadhaar system. But then gradually and iteratively, it becomes an essential part of life. It's pretty much become compulsory now, if you want to access most things in India. Tell us a little bit more about the- Hold on. It's important to understand that this whole demonetization thing, it was all orchestrated by these foundations that are orchestrating.

So the Gates Foundation, Rockefeller Foundation, and many of the, you know, foundations related to the United Nations and, you know, American foundations were all involved in this demonetization. Yes. And they're the same people who are trying to now push the digital ID through ID2020 and various other forms. Yes, absolutely. Yeah, Gates has bragged about his success with that quite a bit. When they took away the cash, though, tell us a little bit about how that rolled out.

I mean, was it overnight? What did they do to take away cash and to demonetize it? They basically came up on the pretext that there's too much black money and black money in India basically is defined as money that has not been declared openly to the equivalent of the IRS and so people hoard large currency notes in India. So in order to reduce black money, we're going to get rid of these certain types of currency notes. That was the excuse by which they introduced it. Yeah.

And so there was a run on the banks essentially, and people who couldn't get money out. Wow. Yeah. Yeah. And of course, uh, the real black market is going to continue to operate.

Uh, you know, they, they can use anything to operate. And, uh, so it just really hits the, it's always an excuse.

They always say this is about money laundering. It's about taxes and, you know, terrorists like you, you know, that type of thing. Uh, it's a, it's a, as, that type of thing, as they project that. As you see this rolling out, and digital ID, and you were involved quite a bit, as you point out here in your bio, with video and camera technology.

Tell us what your concerns are about biometric and facial scans and all the rest of the stuff that are ubiquitous everywhere, especially in the United States. We have more per capita than any other place here in the United States. Sure. So there are multiple aspects to this. My background is in video and camera technologies. My focus was always pretty much working on consumer electronics. So I worked on video streaming technologies, which are used today in Netflix and Amazon Prime and YouTube. I was involved in that.

So and the cameras, my focus has been mostly on cell phone cameras for the last 20 years, and to some extent, autonomous driving cameras and drone cameras. So I've been focused primarily on consumer electronics. But since I had but since I had deep interaction with the entire supply chain and the OEMs, which is the customers that build these products, over the customers, I started to ask a lot of questions internally. Things like, I'm going back literally 13 years ago, a large cell phone company came to us and they wanted to build emotion engines. Eye tracking has been going on for a long time in the name of improving power efficiency in video gaming systems. But once you start to understand what their final goals are, it's all about 24-7 tracking of human beings.

Human capital is kind of the essence of making money in the future along with nature. So cameras and facial recognition are an integral part of the IoT, which is the Internet of Things, which is then connected through the cloud to artificial intelligence algorithm. So your face essentially becomes your passport or let's say password to unlocking your digital ID. And your digital ID is a requirement for accessing anything in life, whether it is to unlock your car, to start your car, to buy food, to log into your computer, to send a text. Everything will be based on your digital ID. So essentially, it's a

digital prison that is being built where you have to have permission and credits and tokens for everything yes yes and they're rolling that out now that tsa is pressuring people to give facial scans i even had a friend say uh well you know down in orlando universal studios uh they've had tsa type security there for a number of years but Now they're starting to add facial scans and other things like that. And really what's going to make this accelerate, I think, is going to be the additional bandwidth for 5G. That's what they really need for full Internet of Things.

And of course, you know, Internet of Things is going to be appliances. It's going to be cars, every electronic device you can talk about. But of course, us as well. That's how they get us into their Internet of Things is with a facial skin. Is that the way you see it? I know they're collecting all this stuff, but in order for them to be able to do stuff in real time

and to respond quickly, I think they really do need to have the 5G in there, but we're not that far away. 5G is one of the integral parts of what we call smart cities. Yes, you're right. 5G is one of the integral parts of what we call smart cities. So yes, you're right. 5G is needed for both latency as well as bandwidth for your signal,

for all this to happen in real time. But in addition to 5G, as more important are the LED lights as well as all the sensors that are being put in place on top of LED lights at intersections and all over highways and freeways. Because those are the corridors. These are the smart corridors in the smart cities, which are continuously watching every movement of everything and every human being and every automobile. So everything is being tracked. Do they have camera sensors, you would say, on all the LED streetlights and that type of thing?

Not on all of them, but many of them. I'm currently in Montana, which is less populated. So the cameras are coming up mostly at intersections right now. But you have cameras in all the possible retail stores. If you go to any major retail store, they have facial recognition cameras and all sorts of cameras and they're doing real-time tracking of where you're moving inside the store, what you're buying, how much you are buying and your carbon footprint is being scored as we speak and who you are with and who you talk to and who you

communicate with, what sort of websites you visit, et cetera. Your social score is being computed in real time as we speak. And this is happening in America and everywhere in the world. They just haven't, they just haven't started that. They've compiled your social score and they're looking at this. They just haven't started penalizing you for it not yet yeah not yet but this as i say they're giving us all the carrots and the sticks are coming yes and when the sticks come life's not going to be pleasant for anybody let me ask you

what do you think that we can do to um to stop this you have any ideas i do i do let's talk about that i've thought through this very very deeply for a long time uh for the smart cities to work so okay let me let me let me interrupt you for a second i'm on i know your light is dropping there can you flip on a an overhead light there because it's starting to get pretty dark um okay hang on on. Okay, hang on a second. I think that should be okay. Okay. Yeah, that's much better. That's good. Thank you. Thank you. Okay, so a smart city is a cute word for an invisible open air

concentration camp. Yes. So what they are building are concentration camps where they want to limit human movement and human activity to 15-minute smart cities and 20-minute neighborhoods. That's the long-term goal. If anyone... Define what that is.

What is the 15 and the 20 minutes, what's that reference? How far you can go? It references how far you can drive, like a 15-minute city, whether you're driving in an Uber or an autonomous driving vehicle, or on your electric bike or cycle. The plan is to have everything within 15 to 20 minutes from where you live. So your medical care, whether there's a school, eventually there won't be any schools. They'll all be online.

Whether you want to go to the park to meet your friends, to go to restaurants, et cetera. Yeah. They've been bragging about that with the line in Saudi Arabia. They've been bragging about it with the tri-state city and the Netherlands and, you know, five minutes to 15 minutes, everything is right right there so you never have to go anywhere and you won't travel anywhere because they'll make sure you don't have any private transportation you're not going to be allowed to take more than uh you know a flight every three years if they get what they want out

of the c40 cities initiative i just talked about that yesterday, but yeah, it is, it is amazing to keep you on such a short tether as well. That's right. So where I was going was to understand the smart cities. One needs to understand what their goals are and then how are the smart cities being effectively implemented? They need a few things to implement that. So they need the sensors and the LED lights. So that's part of the Internet of Things. Then they need the cloud services where the data goes up to the clouds.

We have no control over the cloud. They all belong to private corporations like Google and Amazon and Dropbox and so on and so forth. From there, they have artificial intelligence algorithms running on your data, doing whatever computations they need to do. We have no control over the AI. When the AI makes a decision on however that data needs to be then stored against your digital ID, that's done on a technology called blockchain. And blockchain are essentially digital ledgers that are sitting in the cloud. We have no control over blockchain. Right? or access to electronic devices, electronic doors, smart locks, smart cars,

is all implemented by cybersecurity. And there's a protocol called zero trust. So by default, everyone is a criminal. We don't trust you. And you have to prove that you are you and you're a good soul by having the available carbon credits or social credits before we let you do anything. Guilty until proven innocent.

Yeah, exactly. So those are the five pillars of the digital transformation. So I didn't want to get too technical, but if people just kind of think through it, it's really important if people understand the digitalization, it's really about conditional access. By default, you're a prisoner. By default, you're a criminal. And there are conditions that you need to meet before you can access anything in life. So of the five pillars of the digital transformation, the last four we have no control over. We the people. Operations do, but we the people don't. Where we do have control

is the IoT and the sensors, which means the cameras, the radars, the lights, the microwave, 5G towers, and so on and so forth. So we need to find a way in our local neighborhoods and communities to undo that, whatever is being done. Because if we can undo that, then the data will not be collected sufficiently to feed the beast, so to speak. If we can blind them, if we can blind them centrally. By taking off the sensors.

Because they are blinding us. The LED lights are blinding us. We can't blind the LED lights. We need to undo them. Yes. Yes. Because they can be used as laser weapons. And they will be used as laser weapons in the future.

So what you're saying is that if we get together at the local level, if we've had this type of thing in the past, some communities have had red light cameras installed. They were oppressive and they got it stopped. Sometimes it was done at the state level. Or not just red light cameras installed. They were oppressive and they got it stopped. Sometimes it was done at the state level. Or not just red light cameras, sometimes speed cameras. In different states and in different jurisdictions

those are not allowed. Is that what you're saying then? Is to fight it at the censored level and to say you're not going to have those things? That is one of the ways, but I think to understand how to fight it more effectively, one needs to understand how did they come to be. And they use what they call public-private partnerships.

Yes. With the infrastructure bills that were signed probably initially by Trump and then at Biden's level, the feds came to all the states and they gave them free infrastructure money in exchange. They had to sign paperwork. And when states signed paperwork, they pretty much gave up the state's rights to the feds. And the feds saying, okay, we will get these installed in the name of global warming, climate change and sustainability. So where there were no streetlights, they put up hundreds of streetlights,

LED streetlights in the name of energy conservation. And of course, they're rolling out a massive infrastructure bill right now, hundreds of billions of dollars, and that's going to be used to install this kind of stuff. It's all going to be used to imprison you in these concentration camps. And at the heart of this is your digital ID

through your face. Because if you don't give up your biometrics and don't sign on to a digital ID, then when they collect the data, they don't have any power. If we have enough people in the world, a critical mass, which don't sign up to the digital ID,

they can't implement them their system fully and across the board so it's really important on an individual level to fight this as in don't sign up to the digital id however inconvenient it might get yes oh i agree and we've had a trial run with that of course as they have pushed out uh the vaccine passport now you're going to be locked down you're not going to go anywhere unless you get this thing. And a lot of us have said, well, you know, do your worst. We're not going to get that thing. And that was just a trial run.

And they're going to bring that back and escalate that in spades, especially from the financial point. We had the standpoint that, well, you know, you can't go to school. You can't travel. You can't do this and that if you don't wear the mask or do the vaccine. So they had conditions with it. But they're going to roll this out like they did in India, gradually offering people some free stuff. We saw that as well, the conditioning with the vaccines.

And typically at the beginning of this, if you go back and look at B.F. Skinner, there's what he called positive operant conditioning. You do what I want, and I'll give you a little reward. I'll give you a little treat. It's very effective. But then, of course, the negative is what eventually comes to the people that don't apply with that, and we know

that's eventually going to happen, just as we saw with this whole vaccine passport stuff roll out as a dry run, essentially, right? That's right. And I think one of the other things I'd like to mention is so that people understand that this digital ID, how does it basically enslave you permanently? Because it'll be linked to a new type of currency, a digital currency or central bank digital currency, which I think has been floated around now quite openly in lots of social

media and by many countries, they're already, uh, some are already having a trial runs and some are, yeah, we've got a pilot programs just started with the New York fed here in the U S and of course, uh, it was, uh, back in March, uh, Biden gave all the different, uh, branches six months to come up with a report for, you know, how you're going to implement this, redesign financial system, punish people, enforce it, all that kind of stuff. Yeah. And one thing to also realize is that when they announce these things, the agenda is far ahead of what they're telling you. Yes.

So when they announced that the Fed is going to do a pilot program, the pilot program is already being done for years. They're just giving the illusion to the people that right now it's still a pilot so that people don't fight this, you know, from within or without. Yeah, of course. I mean, if he does, if he sends out a report and everybody report back to me in six months and they start a pilot program two months later, they didn't write all the code then we exactly we know that didn't happen uh so uh where in your opinion is this all headed beside i mean are they just they want to

imprison everybody do they want to uh kill us as well what what is your opinion about this so let's talk a little more about the imprisonment uh so i wanted to go back and give a little more detail on this digital currency. So the new type of digital currency or CBDC, it will have at least three components to it. Your carbon tracking or your carbon score, carbon footprint. They're using different words. Your social credit score which they already have in China and they already have here they just haven't given us an application to look at our social credit score and then we have your medical

status whether you've been taking your jabs and boosters so it's going to be tight like it'll be like a vaccine passport also and they are also going to be tracking water usage who yours you know they also going to be tracking water usage. They're going to start having smart water meters. They're trying to force smart water meters even on private properties at wells by taking away water rights of private property, etc. So all these things which has become part of your digital currency really is tokenized.

And when I say tokenized, tokenization is another way of doing smart contracts. So if Aman has had his quota of sugar for the month, the door where I want to buy orange juice will not open. So everything is conditional access. And so that is how the slavery system is going to be working. And over time, they can keep controlling behavior of human beings by doing conditional access on any and everything in the world. Yeah, it's just amazing. Yeah, I was talking about the open planes at like 97 cities and this organization called C40. They were talking about how, yeah, we might let you take one flight every three years of 938 miles or less.

You can buy three articles of clothing once a year. It's just no meat, no dairy, all this other kinds. It's just unbelievable how draconian they are in terms of their plans. This is kind of a concentration camp, a reservation system, but it is a prison. And it's amazing what they have in mind. And this is why people have to wake up and understand because it's going to roll out very quickly once they start, just as we saw with this COVID stuff. And they'll have some kind of an emergency probably to bring this in.

It might be a health emergency. They're trying to get everybody on board with a climate emergency sense. But we know what it's really about. And just as the farmers in the Netherlands have woken up and said, yeah, this is not about nitrogen. This is about getting everybody off the land so they can pack us in these prison cities. Yeah, that's right. And I think there's a correction here.

They've already rolled this out. It's a process. It's not that there's going to be one big switch and suddenly you'll be in a prison. The process has already begun. And they are using what they call the Sustainable Development Goals, the SDG. There are 17 Sustainable Development Goals by the United Nations. And the SDG charter is being implemented by every corporation in the world right now. So what they call an ESG agenda.

And if people are not familiar with ESG, it stands for Environmental, Social and Governance. Yes. And this is all to do with you know uh net zero in 2050 with zero carbon it's all about co2 reduction autonomous driving vehicles is all about geofencing but on the pretext of uh you know electric cars are on the pretext of getting rid of pollution and so on and so forth yes yes Everything must run off of the grid as they're shutting down the grid. So again, you talked about if people understand what is happening with it, and I guess, would you say then at the local level where we try to cut off their use of this information or

their collection of the information, is that what you would advise people fighting this from the bottom up? Because from the top down, just as we saw during the pandemic, they were all on board. It didn't matter what political party, it didn't matter what philosophy, it didn't matter what country. They were all on board with this global agenda. Same thing with this. They're already running it out.

So what do we do from the ground up? Your priorities, would you say? i think every community and neighborhood depending on the types of people there are uh it'll differ a little bit to a lot i think it's it depends on what what is the type of life you want to live going ahead right because if if there are enough people in your community and neighborhoods that don't want this, then what are we going to do about it? I agree. I've been saying throughout this whole pandemic thing,

what we have to have are officials at the local level that share our values, that are going to interpose and nullify these types of things, and the community coming together. That's our best and I think really our only hope, wouldn't you say? Yeah, that's right. And I say if there are any sheriffs watching this in America, my argument is if there is one sheriff in any county in America

that can work with the people and give, give, uh, you know, and undo all this because the sheriff is supposedly the person who's, you know, uh, uh, the highest authority locally in the county and then have these smart city

infrastructures undone. By the, because all these were installed typically by either the telecom companies in your region or by private contractors. So there are layers of hiding from who installed it, who gave the authorization to install it, etc. And that's the thing that's difficult is figuring out who's who and all this. No, it isn't difficult. There't difficult there are three in montana it's the state took money from the feds the state of montana is one a department of transportation uh in the state of montana specifically uh then you have the cities so the city councils

members obviously you know signed paperwork and allowed. So typically the downtown lights are city council money, but given by the feds again. And then you have the electric companies. So all the non-main street lighting and highway companies is electric companies. So Flathead Electric in Montana and whatever else electric companies. So we already know there's enough documentation. These are the three major areas where the money, free money comes and then the installations are done by private contractors. That's good. That's good. So, for instance, I have reached out to the CEO of Flathead Electric requesting a meeting.

I haven't got a meeting yet, but if he is a freedom-minded person, he will sit with me and we will walk through all the documentation. My chances are he has signed all these disclosure agreements with the private corporations and the feds, so it's not going to be easy. But we need people of courage to stand up across the world and challenge what's happening. Yes. And that's the key thing. There's so much money that can be showered on them by the Fed, by the federal government. That's right. And so the difficult thing is, just as we saw with the pandemic stuff, you have these local officials, and they knew they needed them because that's where the rubber meets

the road is at the local level. So they had put in legislative stuff 20 years ago, practiced this, and said, here, now we've got money for you, and you've got the authority. Here's what we would like you to do, and here's the money, go do it. And we're seeing that same type of thing now with a rollout of all this surveillance

and monitoring equipment that is the key thing. I mean, going back to the late 1990s, geospatial intelligence, the fastest growing part of the intelligence community. Why? Because of this key thing. I mean, going back to the late 1990s, geospatial intelligence, the fastest growing part of the intelligence community. Why? Because of this very thing. And so we have to stop the surveillance. That's what people got to get really upset about.

I think that's, that's really one of the key things to focus on. And, and there's a lot of people who are very suspicious now, after what we saw with the pandemic, there's a lot of Christians who are very suspicious now after what we saw with the pandemic there's a lot of christians who are suspicious about having this universal id uh sounds very much like the mark of the beast and so uh and i i think that's what it's going to become but uh i think that's probably the way to roll out and and it's interesting since we haven't talked before that you focused on the

sheriffs i think that is the key thing uh the sheriff's office more than anything else is uh yeah is going to be our lifeline in this I agree yeah and any sheriff watching it feel free to reach out to me I'll be more than happy to spend you know an hour or two or more uh to see if I can be of any assistance that's great that's great but the way to I think one of the macro ways to look at this whole thing is that what is happening is global governance with this whole one world projection. So it's global governance that has been implemented at the local level through treachery, bribery, and deceit. And what we need to do is undo it at a local level. I agree. To break this global governance. I agree. Yeah. Yeah. It's all politics is local. All governance is ultimately local as

well. That's where they have to implement. You got to have somebody there at that level that's going to do it. And it's going to require really the sheriff is the key thing because it's going to the force and the coercion is going to have to roll through the sheriff is the key thing because it's going to, uh, the force and the coercion is going to have to roll through the sheriff. And if he doesn't do that, they don't really have any way to force this on anybody. And that's, nobody wants this. That's the key thing. If they understand what this is, and that's our key thing is to make sure that they understand

where this is headed and we stop it. It's going to be easier to stop it the earlier we stop it. Yeah. It's all being done in the name of sustainability. Yes. Yes. And sustainability is such a nice word. Yeah.

It's not about that at all though. Yeah. It's a beard. It absolutely is a beard. I call it a MacGuffin going back to the Alfred Hitchcock stuff. This, whatever it is just to motivate people. So they've gone from the pandemic to the climate, uh, MacGuffins. And, uh, it's, uh, important for people to understand that, uh, this is what's going

to happen. You've seen this as you looked at the technology, you saw where they're headed. Uh, I've seen this with the simulations that they've talked about with the legal structures that they put in, uh, going to the pandemic and the rest of the stuff for the longest time. So thank you so much for joining us and thank you for speaking out. Aman Jabi, J-A-B-B-I, and the first name is A-M-A-N. Thank you so much for telling people what you see here.

We have to warn people. Thank you, Aman. Thank you so much. I appreciate it. Thank you. Thank you. 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.
