Starting point is 00:01:55 Well, today, of course, we're going to talk about the debate, the GOP debate last night, the Tucker interview with Trump. And I think the most fascinating thing about it is what they did not cover, what they are not concerned about, you and I. They're not concerned about the vaccines, the lockdowns, the pandemics, the FDA, none of this stuff. None of this stuff. As a matter of fact, even as they're moving to make America gulag again, nobody wants to even talk about that. Well, what about the return of COVID? Nobody wants to talk about it.
Starting point is 00:02:28 We're going to talk about the debate and the Tucker interview with Trump. But we're going to begin with our genuine concerns here. Us. Let's talk about what is happening to us, to our food, to an Amish farmer in Virginia. That's where we're going to start. We'll be right back. Well, there was a town hall article
Starting point is 00:03:08 and kind of about a 15-minute video where they have the guy talk. Interesting, because he's Amish, he doesn't want to have his face filmed, some kind of religious belief about that, I guess, or maybe they just want privacy. They seem to understand, really, what is happening in this country
Starting point is 00:03:23 much better than most Americans do. They control the surveillance state. And he has a small farm where he has shares that people buy. It began by doing a dairy operation. People wanted to get fresh raw milk, and so they would sign up for shares of that to try to get around the government regulations to keep you from having healthy, unadulterated food that's not made in a factory and stuffed with preservatives. And then they branched out and they got into beef and things like that. And now the USDA is confiscating his farm, trying to at least.
Starting point is 00:04:05 They've hit him with criminal charges and everything else for that. It's very similar to what is happening to another Amish farmer. And, of course, they are in contact with each other as well. How do we get to the point where you're not allowed to feed your family unless you go through the big corporations that have bought the politicians at the state and federal level. And this is a state operation that is happening. It's not the USDA, but they want him to run all of his beef through a USDA processor. He said, uh, they came with a search warrant. Uh, the second time, first time he. First time, they said, we want to look inside your farm.
Starting point is 00:04:47 He said, no. Then they came with a search warrant, and they took everything and then took it to the dump and threw it away. It's just amazing. How long are we going to put up with this, with these corporations who are using our government, state and federal, as a bunch of hired goons and thugs against us and against anybody that they perceive as competition to them.
Starting point is 00:05:12 And you have to understand, this small farmer and the small number of people locally that he gives food to, it's not a direct dollar threat to them, right? But they understand better than we do the importance of a precedent if this guy is allowed to exist there could be another and another and another and another they've got to stop it with each and every one we're not that wise are we we see what has happened to us in 2020 and nobody even wants to talk about it. Nobody talks about it in the GOP debate. Of course, Fox isn't going to bring it up. They were cheering pharmaceutical companies, Pfizer. Tim Scott's getting tremendous amounts of money from them,
Starting point is 00:05:57 the highest paid senator on their payroll. You got Vaik Pharma Swami. That's how he made his money. He's always referred to as a high-tech entrepreneur or a biotech billionaire or something like that. No, he's a pharmaceutical hack. He doesn't even do the science on this stuff. He's a Martin Shkreli. As a matter of fact, he partnered with Martin Shkreli. He's the kind of guy that goes out there and he positions himself to buy up these pharmaceutical drugs and to run happy stories on Wall Street so he can make so much money.
Starting point is 00:06:38 That's how he got rich. He's not even a scientist. They're not going to talk about this stuff. Tucker's not going to talk about it. Trump's not going to talk about it. They don't care. And why is it always our food and our drugs? Well, because food is your medicine. They understand that. And that's one of the things that this Amish farmer said.
Starting point is 00:07:02 He said, we didn't get anybody sick. There weren't any complaints at all. Everybody was happy with this. Nobody got sick. As a matter of fact, people who were sick who came here because they had allergies to food or because they had immune system disorders and things, he said, they got better. And they're very concerned about this. He said, they tagged the meat so we can't touch it. We can't sell it. We
Starting point is 00:07:27 can't even feed our family with it. Golden Valley Farms, chemical free, and they still have the goat milk stickers and many other things on nearby shelves on bottles waiting to be filled. The firestorm, says Town Hall, the firestorm of big government saber rattling ignited in mid-June when an inspector with the Virginia Department of Agriculture, without warning, paid the Fisher family a visit. He has no idea what had prompted them to come. He says, maybe they just finally found us through word of mouth. And so the state sought to penalize Fisher for selling meat that wasn't processed by a USDA-inspected facility. Again, crony capitalism, regulatory capture,
Starting point is 00:08:17 concentration of all means of production, especially our food. And one of the things that he said was he said, you know, we asked, um, our customers, would you prefer for us to slaughter it on the farm or do you want us to send it to a processing plant? He said, we did a survey. 92% of the people said, we want to process there where you're raising grass fed beef free range. And, um, he said, and then, um, you know, he said we, we did, I think he experimented with it, but he said when they started locking everything down with a fake pandemic,
Starting point is 00:08:50 he said you had to book eight months in advance to get to one of these few USDA-approved slaughterhouses. That was impossible for us to do it. The state sought to penalize him for selling meat that was not processed at a USDA inspected facility. It is a membership program. People buy into his herd of cows that are 100% grass fed. They own part of my business, he said. They own some of the herd. My thinking was, well, we can butcher their cows and we can process it and sell it back to them. I told the state all of this,
Starting point is 00:09:29 but they said, no, there's no way around that. You can't do that. Really? Why? You see the, this is a state issue in this particular case,
Starting point is 00:09:36 but of course this type of regulatory pressures coming from the federal government, a lot of parallels to what was done with the lockdown and the Trump COVID stuff and everything. They set the agenda in Washington, they tell them how to proceed, and then it's done at a local level. And there's no way that you can do that. Why?
Starting point is 00:09:59 Well, because a regulatory agency says so. They're going to make the rules. Because a regulatory agency says so. Right? They're going to make the rules. So he said they asked permission to get in here and look around. He denied it. They said, well, we'll be back and left. The next day they came back, this time with the sheriff. And this is why it's important to have a sheriff that will interpose on things like this. When you look at what they did,
Starting point is 00:10:25 first thing I look at is like shame on that sheriff for going along with this. The Virginia inspector returned with the Cumberland County Sheriff's deputy to serve him a search warrant. He said they went through everything, house, every building in the barn. They just raided through everything. They put their nose
Starting point is 00:10:45 and everything they wanted to know every detail of everything they went out back trying to find all the failure they can find on a farm and he talks a little bit funny you know he's they've been kind of isolated and he has some uh unusual uh as you see some unusual ways of expressing himself, choices of words. And he sounds a little bit like Forrest Gump, but he's a great guy. I mean, he understands what's going on. I'm not insulting his intelligence. I'm just saying that, you know, the way he talked. Some of their stuff, which they think is wrong,
Starting point is 00:11:21 is just normal stuff on a farm, he said. I wasn't even on the farm at the time, the full-scale raid. It lasted about three to four hours. Then the state slapped a tag on his walk-in freezer, placed the meat under, quote, administrative detention, unquote, declaring that he was not supposed to take any meat out of his own storage room. By the weekend, his kids were crying for scrapple, a mush of pork scraps and trimmings characteristic of Amish country
Starting point is 00:11:50 that sat behind the door on his property that should otherwise be open and easily accessible. The following Monday, he even made a special phone call, he said, and he asked if that's the way it is. Fisher recounted, the inspector replied, yes, you cannot feed your family with it. You cannot do anything with it. Well, you know, just like you had the people, when you had all these public health inspectors say, well, everybody's got to lock down, mask up, stay separate, and all this other stuff.
Starting point is 00:12:22 I mean, you can't go to church. And, you know, even if we let you go to church, even if you mask up and you separate and you limit the number of people there, you can't sing. And that was the end of it for people. They said, okay, we're done. We're done. When they told him he couldn't feed his family, he says, okay, we're done. He says, there's nothing illegal about feeding my family. And he says, if I'm going to process my own meat for my own consumption, he said, he decided I'm going to go and feed my family
Starting point is 00:12:51 since I'd likely be fine for doing that. And another person on the farm, they were speaking to the manager, just goes by the name of Mindy because she doesn't, again, they're very protective of their identity. And they should be. They should be very suspicious of this American government and this American society. She said he just decided to open up meat sales again because if he's going to be fined, he's going to be fined. And you might as well do it, she said.
Starting point is 00:13:22 Anybody, he said, can go and raise animals for their own family to eat and that's where i got to the point where he the inspector crossed the line so i'm gonna cross the line he crossed the line by telling me i cannot feed my own family with this meat so i decided i'm gonna cross the line i'm gonna sell it and that's why i didn't honor the state this This ain't right, he said. We're going to feed our family. We're going to feed our customers. So we did not honor that tag. We sold the meat, some meat out of there, the tagged freezer.
Starting point is 00:13:56 Whatever customers ordered. And then the state came back and saw what we did, and they really gave me a mouthful for doing that. That's why I said he talks a lot. But he understands what's going on. What an outrage that you have a government that says you can't feed your family. This tells people who own the beef, sorry, you can't have that beef. You're going to have to have that beef slaughtered. Is this any better than the sheriff of Nottingham telling the poor people there that they can't go in the wood and take out firewood. They can't hunt the animals there. That belongs to the king. Stay out of there. This is what's happening. They're going to starve us out. They're going
Starting point is 00:14:37 to burn us out. Meanwhile, we've got these gib gadflies like Ramaswami and the rest of these politicians, I put them in the same category. It's just more glib than the others. On stage, trying to score debate points with each other with clever one-liners. It disgusts me. This is the real world. What is happening here? What's happening to the people in Canada where you've got the government coming in
Starting point is 00:15:04 and setting backfires when a 20-mile-an-hour wind is blowing, gets out of control? Well, we can't do anything about it. Sorry, your house is going to burn down. And then trying to set up roadblocks and put stuff out to puncture people's tires if they try to escape. Same thing happening in Hawaii. All the stories that broke out of Associated Press yesterday
Starting point is 00:15:27 about all these people, if they did what the government said, they died. Government set up roadblocks, they died. The government is setting up roadblocks on everything. The government is trying to kill us and take everything we've got. That's the bigger picture. It's not just in Hawaii. It's not just in Hawaii. It's not just in Canada. It's everywhere.
Starting point is 00:15:48 Meanwhile, these rich men, who want to be even richer, and they want to rule north of Richmond. It was very interesting. That was the very first question that they had there. Very first thing. And they played that song. When you're not weighed down

Starting point is 00:16:49 You know, and here's the song in case you all haven't heard it. And I'd like to get your response to it. We'll talk about that when we get to the debate. But anyway, they claimed that the meat was mislabeled, uninspected, and possibly adulterated. Isn't that what all of our food and drugs are that the government approves with this crony capitalism? Aren't they all uninspected, really?
Starting point is 00:17:17 The FDA or the CDC, did they ever test the drugs, the vaccines? It's gotten to the point where they do that with everything now. You see, this was a radical sea change, just like 9-11 was, because this is the other shoe to drop from 9-11. We no longer have to go through a testing procedure for any of these drugs. They just put them out there. They just swept all that away. That's one of the things that's not been talked about is how this warp speed stuff of Trump
Starting point is 00:17:48 set this up and removed all of the requirements for them to show that this is safe, or at least to pretend to go through a procedure to show that it's safe. And as I've played for you many, many times, the Milken Institute and Fauci in October of 2019, just before all this stuff began. Well, how do we put all this stuff out without having to wait 10 years
Starting point is 00:18:07 and go through all these steps? Yeah, we do it from the inside, said Fauci. We do it with disruption. And we do it iteratively. Well, that's what they've been doing. And now they're at the point where everything is that way. Drugs, vaccines, you have to test anything. So it's all uninspected, really.
Starting point is 00:18:27 It's all not possibly adulterated, but it is adulterated. We know it is adulterated. And it is mislabeled when they say it is approved. It's not approved for your consumption. It's approved by bureaucracy for sale. It's a big difference. So the judge there, ironically, his name is Blessing. Judge Blessing. Well,
Starting point is 00:18:54 bless your heart, judge. Authorize the state to seize and forfeit the farmer's meat. Don't you like how they use that term? Forfeit. Steal it. To seize and forfeit. To steal it. Right? Civil asset. Forfeiture.
Starting point is 00:19:14 Right? Again, how long do we let this go? We got to take, we got to, said Giuliani, said, you know, using the Rico statutes and Biden and all the rest of these people, we got to set it up so that we can take people's stuff so they can't defend themselves. These mafia people got to use against the mafia. They got too much money to defend themselves. So we got to take the money first. And it gradually metastasized into this civil asset forfeiture where they're going around stealing stuff, typically from poor people.
Starting point is 00:19:43 Look at jurisdictions like around Chicago. It costs you $1,000 to take them to court to prove that your property didn't commit a crime. I mean, we're in Kafkaesque world here. The people are not charged with a crime. The property is charged with a crime. U.S. government versus $5,000 cash. U.S. government versus a car with a serial number.
Starting point is 00:20:09 We're not charging you with a crime. We're charging your property, and we're arresting it. It's just filled with lies and prevarications. And so you've got to take them to court, and it's going to cost you $900. So guess what the typical value of the car is, about $900? They're going after the poorest people, stealing their stuff. They know they can't hire lawyers to defend themselves. So, authorize the state to seize and forfeit the farmer's meat.
Starting point is 00:20:40 He says, the judge did treat me roughly because I asked for a continuance. How dare him ask for a continuance? I tried to be silent and he got pretty fired up on me. Now what he doesn't say and what town hall does not say is where is the jury? Let me ask you, if we didn't have these bureaucratic procedures, if we didn't have trials without juries, trials with no juries, do you think if there was a jury trial there that they would say this is okay?
Starting point is 00:21:12 Do you think a jury would really sign off on this stuff? I don't. I don't believe that for a second. That's why they don't have a jury there. And that's why trial by jury was considered to be the linchpin of our society and our rights by our founders and before that by people in the UK. Later that day, the state wasted no time pouncing on the court's order with glee. Within hours, two men backed up a U-Haul truck right to his door,
Starting point is 00:21:40 cleared the premises of Golden Valley Farms meat products, and they hauled it all to the dump to throw it away. Aside from the civil charges, he's also criminally charged. He was found guilty, without a jury, evidently, of unlawfully possessing, selling, and or transporting animals. Oh, my. Well, that's really serious, isn't it? You transported animals without, what, their approval?
Starting point is 00:22:12 Their inspection approval or something? They go on to say there's striking parallels between his case and one that I've talked about before. Amos Miller in Pennsylvania, he has a farm he calls Bird in Hand, another Amish farmer. Bird in Hand is an Amish farm. It's organic. It's a century old, and it's repeatedly being attacked by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, by the feds. Similar to Fisher, Amos Miller serves a private member association and raises livestock the way nature and our Father God intended, he says. It is free of chemicals, cruelty, and GMO.
Starting point is 00:22:55 It has no antibiotics or hormones. It's grown under traditional time-honored methods. The big agri doesn't like that. Big government, which is the handmade, you know, the hired guns and thugs of big agra doesn't like that big government which is the handmade you know the hired guns and thugs of big agra why do you think they give so much money to the government all the time when you look at this i'll just mention it again you go back to the year 2000 bush versus gore bush his campaign and all the political action committees that were associated with him spent $100 million. Al Gore says he's buying the presidency.
Starting point is 00:23:32 Look at how much money he's got. Al Gore had $70 million. So he was spending about 50% more than Gore was. But combine the two of them, $170 million. That's chicken feed today for all these presidential candidates. As a matter of fact, you've got district attorney races where they're spending millions of dollars, local district attorneys. Why is there so much money in government?
Starting point is 00:23:57 Because that's how you get rich. That's how people like Elon Musk got rich and get richer. You buy a politician, there's no better return on investment. Well, he's Amish and we come from the same religion, said Fisher, about Amos Miller. I used to live a few miles from his farm. They keep challenging him. I just believe the bigger the farm is, the more he sells, the harder they're going to challenge him. He's been in contact with Amos Miller, he said, and Miller referred him to
Starting point is 00:24:27 Farm Match, an online marketplace that connects buyers with non-toxic regenerative farms in the area. They're on a mission to, quote, decentralize and disrupt the food system by supporting small farmlands. And this is why they're coming down on them. You see, they have to stamp this out in each and every place. They won't fight the fires, whether they're arson or natural or whether it's an accident, campfire, whatever, or directed energy. They won't fight any of the fires, but they'll fight this stuff
Starting point is 00:25:03 because just one of these people survive. And this could turn into a, this could spread like a raging fire against these people who seek to control our food, our drugs, our bodies, everything about us. So he said, um, Max Kane, who runs farm match, he said, he advised me to sell the meat. He advised me to totally ignore them and just keep on going. He said, you're doing the right thing. You're selling good quality food. You have to keep going because people are depending on this stuff as their medicine.
Starting point is 00:25:37 Let your food be your medicine. That was longest time. He said, because they buy the food at the store and their children or somebody gets sick and the diseases get worse. And then they start buying my food and their diseases were going away. Now, if I stop, they can't get this food anymore, he said. Said Fisher. This kind of shock and awe, done with the sheriff, done with the judge, done without a jury, is the way our government is operating now, these thugs.
Starting point is 00:26:08 Unsanitary conditions were not found at Golden Valley Farm. No one has ever fallen sick from the meat. This is about their authority, and it's about protecting their masters, their big agricultural corporate masters, from any competition. That's what this is about. They don't even try to make the case that there's anything harmful with this stuff. Quite the opposite. The meat is medicine to many customers with allergies and medical conditions
Starting point is 00:26:35 who claim that their ailments were alleviated after switching to its chemical-free, nutrient-rich, farm-certified organic food. And then they point out, this is in Farmville, Virginia. And they said, if that sounds familiar, that's because that's where Oliver Anthony is from. Right? That is absolutely the case. So, in recent years, medical research has discovered the human ingestion of sodium nitrates and nitrates off use as artificial preservatives and as coloring agents in meats.
Starting point is 00:27:13 I mean, look at the factory system. Most of the garbage that's in there is there because A, preservatives, B, to make it attractive to you, to look nice. And then there's a whole bunch of chemicals that are there just so that it'll pass through the machinery in a proper way. We're going to fluff it up or we're going to do this or that to make sure that it works with these machines and can process it with the machines. You might as well be eating motor oil with a lot of this stuff. It makes the machine work better, so let's just add some of this stuff in there. These things they put in for artificial preservatives, coloring agents, and everything, particularly
Starting point is 00:27:53 these nitrates, are often carcinogenic, cancer-causing. The same thing goes for soy. Oftentimes, the cause of soy-sensitive consumers who are allergic to soy, reacting to eggs, dairy products flesh meat is a soy residue from soy-based chow that is fed to poultry also known as secondhand soy transferred via animal feed soy is a cheap product poultry processors use soy and almost any food they
Starting point is 00:28:22 make because it's cheap so you get those eggs where the chickens are eating the soy and you're going to be eating the soy as well. So Fisher said, they don't care if people get sick. They don't care what happens because you can't track it. If you buy stuff from a store, you can't track where it comes from. I said this many times when I talk about the big fast food chains like McDonald's or, you know, you find out from somebody who looks at the food, uh, look, uh, this, uh, sandwich chain is, um, putting this rubberized stuff in their bread. What's that about? And I said, they, they really don't care. It's a chain. I said, if they can save a penny here or a penny there, they've got so many stores
Starting point is 00:29:03 and so many sandwiches that they're selling, that's real big money to them. But if you go to a local restaurant or a local store, somebody like that, they're not going to cut corners by contaminating the stuff if they have any sense because people will not come back to their stores. Like, why would I do that and risk losing a customer? But these people who sell you happy meals, it's all about the packaging. And it's all about the volume, the mass consumption. He said, that's why I say if you buy food from a farm, go to that farm.
Starting point is 00:29:40 Ask the farmer. You want to see the animals. You want to see the farm. You want to know where your food comes from. You do have full rights to ask for that. And if you are not given it, take that as a warning, said Fisher, the Amish farmer. We believe the healthier your animal is, the healthier the people who are, who drink the milk or eat the meat from the animals that we feed on the farm.
Starting point is 00:30:04 I don't really know why they think everything has to be under their jurisdiction, he said. How they have to determine how things are processed, but they like control, said Fisher. Chemicals, GMOs, he said, the way modern day processing thing is not healthy for your body, they don't seem to care. They don't believe that. I don't really know why they should care too much. If I don't go to the public, if it's just going to my membership, but we do know that they like to have jurisdiction over everything that they possibly could. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:32:21 unlike most revolutions where the people rise against a real economic oppression, in our case here in Boston we are fighting for purely an abstract principle. It is, however, not nearly so abstract as the young gentleman supposes.
Starting point is 00:32:37 The issue involved here is one of monopoly. Today, the British government will monopolize the sale of tea in our country. Tomorrow it will be something else. ΒΆΒΆ Liberty. It's your move. You're listening to the david knight show yeah it's about monopoly isn't it it's about them seeking to control everything nothing really changes human nature does not change does it and the nature of government does not change it devolves into tyranny over a period of time unless we make adjustments to it maori residents who disobeyed the barricade were the ones who survived the fires this is coming from the associated press the associated press the establishment press is telling people that
Starting point is 00:34:16 those who disobeyed the barricaded road closures during the maori fire survived the disaster while many of those who heeded the orders to turn around perished in their cars and their homes, trapped with no way out. At least 114 people were killed in the fires earlier this month. The FBI is estimating that up to 1,100 more are unaccounted for. In the early hours of the Maui fire, there were more than 30 power poles downed alongside the highway at the south end of Lahaina. Officials closed the Lahaina bypass road due to the fires, blocking the only way out of
Starting point is 00:34:53 Lahaina to the southern part of the island. And we saw this as well with the roads blocked in Canada. Government sets the fires. They block the roads. They've got the tire strips out there to take your car out if you try to go over this stuff. And this is just amazing. Our government wants to
Starting point is 00:35:11 kill us, starve us out, burn us out. Everything. My police chief, the guy that was, everybody talks about being in Vegas. But it doesn't, that's not really relevant here. What he's done here is bad enough. Yeah. We keep seeing these people like in Michigan, you know, that the guy who's running,
Starting point is 00:35:33 uh, that set up saying, well, they're trying to kidnap, um, Gretchen Whitmer. Then they take him to, uh, Washington DC just before January the sixth, and he's running that stuff there. I know. They've got people that they use like that. So this Maui police chief, John Pelletier, said during a news conference that officers never stop people from leaving the area, but the AP report suggests that residents were discouraged from going across these barriers. They said, well, that's what the police chief says, but we talked to the people. They said otherwise. One family swerved around a barricade that was set up so they could escape the flames.
Starting point is 00:36:15 Another resident took a dirt road up a hill to climb above the fire, according to the AP. However, many others who stayed in their cars on that road stuck in gridlock with fire surrounding them on most sides and the ocean on the remaining side, and they died. Nate Baird and Courtney Stapleton recounted their experience to the outlet, to AP, saying that they loaded the car up with their two sons, Baird's mother and one dog, to escape the flames. And when they turned south to escape Lahaina, they were met with cones and
Starting point is 00:36:50 they were told to turn around and go back to Lahaina, which was already burning. But instead of turning around, they swerved past the cones and they escaped to a neighboring town. Nobody realized how little time we really had, said Baird. Like even us being from the heart of the fire, we did not even comprehend how quickly it was escalating. We literally had minutes, and with one wrong turn, we would all have been dead now. Baird told the reporter that if they'd had 10 minutes more, they could have saved children who were left home alone in their neighborhood during the fires. He said, the problem is kids just don't have a filter.
Starting point is 00:37:33 So he said their son ran up and was just telling our son, you know, this kid is dead and that kid is dead. And it's like all of my son's friends friends they used to come to our house every day their parents were at work they were home alone nobody had a warning nobody nobody nobody knew he said kim cuavos rays said that she survived with her two sons by ignoring orders to turn right onto front street which has now been devastated by the fires instead she turned left and she drove in the wrong lane to escape the town. The gridlock would have left us there when the firestorm came, she said. I would have had to tell my children to jump into the ocean as well
Starting point is 00:38:14 and be boiled alive by the flames, or we would have just died from smoke inhalation and roasted in the car. And so car after car, says the AP, the fleeing residents headed for the only paved road out of the town in desperate race for safety, turned back by the barricades set up by the police to block their way. One person said, Kakoa Langsford.
Starting point is 00:38:46 I could see from the bypass that people were stuck on the balconies, so I went down and checked it out. I made several trips into the town to look for survivors. What he found was horrible. Langsford said, dead bodies and flames like a hellish movie scene. And I could see that people were on fire, that the fire was just being stoked by the wind and being pushed toward the homes.
Starting point is 00:39:08 The road closures because of the fire, some because of downed power lines, contributed to making historic Lahaina the site of the deadliest U.S. fire more than a century. But as I pointed out, the hurricane brought really strong winds. It was 500 miles away, but they were getting the side winds of that.
Starting point is 00:39:27 Those winds downed at least 30 power poles in West Maui, and Hawaiian Electric had no procedure in place for turning off the grid, which is common practice in other places that are fire-prone, and they were warned a decade ago about this. Video shot by Lahaina resident shows a downed power line setting dry grasses on fire, possibly revealing the start of what became a much larger fire. Later, as the fire began to swallow homes and his ravenous path, Maui County emergency officials declined to use the emergency sirens. The Maui police chief had police officers, he said, going up and down and knocking on doors and using loudspeakers to tell people leave.
Starting point is 00:40:08 But he didn't say where or when that occurred. Associated Press is very skeptical of that. Based on talking to people, I didn't see anybody that verified that story from the police. Shane Trow wakes up early on August 8th. In his backyard, he hears a utility pole snap next to the road. He sees a downed power line ignite the grass. He called 911 at 637 a.m. to report the fire. Small brush fires are not unusual for the town.
Starting point is 00:40:39 The fire department declares this one 100% contained by 955. The high winds have prompted the closure of some public schools for the day. That means that many of the kids of the 3,000 public school students were at home alone while their parents were at work. While many of Maui's county's fire crews worked to extinguish the upcountry fire on the eastern half of the island, the wind continued to topple power poles and scattered embers like seeds. His neighbor said the fire reignited about 2 p.m. and he recorded it spreading at 3, carried downtown by the winds. About 3.20, a Lahaina resident watching the black smoke from a vantage point
Starting point is 00:41:23 closer to the downtown when passerbys tell him a power pole had been knocked onto the tar roof of a gas station two blocks away, creating fireballs being blown by the wind. Eliason said the fire knocked the power out of the area soon after. Ten minutes later, news release, the utility says that 30 power poles are down. At the same time, the fire departments close the roads because of the fire. The closures block the only route out. Want to own part of the company that makes your favorite latte? Now you can.

Starting point is 00:42:52 So they said, the people who said they packed their kids and their dog and the mother-in-law into the car, they said the neighborhood was already on fire when they did that. And they tried to turn them back to that neighborhood. So they said they get down the road. There's a crew that's there working on the downed electric poles. They motioned for everybody to turn back. They've got cones out there. They said, we don't care what the crew wants. They swerved around it and they headed south. And they made it to a neighborhood to text to see who else had made it out.
Starting point is 00:43:32 Nobody realized just how little time we had. So again, that mother who said, if we had done what they had done, what they wanted to see, we would have been stuck in the gridlock. Their kids are 12 years old and 15 years old. So this is what the government had in mind. And, you know, as I look at this stuff, instead of us talking about things that we know, unbelievable issues like this, like the farm, like all the rest of this stuff, one of the things that annoys me to no end is that on Twitter,
Starting point is 00:44:07 I'm completely shadow banned. Nobody sees my stuff really. But every time I get on, if I'm going to post a video or something like that, every time I get on, there's this channel that I do not subscribe to. And it used to be, maybe they've changed it to notification or something. I don't know why I keep seeing this maybe it's somebody that I follow that likes it I don't follow that many people but it's being promoted to me it's an anonymous channel and when I first saw it and they didn't have that
Starting point is 00:44:37 many followers but they've been hanging out on this fire pushing out every conspiracy theory that they can and Twitter is pushing it to me. Now, why is an anonymous channel that's pushing a bunch of garbage like this that keeps people from looking at the obvious stuff in front of them, that keeps them from coming after and discredits any investigation? Oh, you're just a bunch of lunatics out there talking about stuff you can't prove. We've got plenty of stuff to prove. We've got plenty of stuff to prove of the pandemic, plenty of stuff to prove about this fire and the other fires. We need to hold people accountable.
Starting point is 00:45:14 Instead, we're out there playing games. And it is a game. And they've got you tied into this. They've got their anonymous Twitter accounts that are pushed out there by their CIA buddy, Elon Musk, to get you all excited about this stuff. Makes me sick. Makes me sick to see this stuff. Demand action on the stuff we know. Isn't it bad enough that they burn people in their cars? Isn't it bad enough all the malicious incompetence and I think deliberate things that were done? Isn't that bad enough? Isn't it bad enough all the malicious incompetence and, I think, deliberate things that were done? Isn't that bad enough? Isn't it obvious? Why do you have to jump over here on something that is highly speculative?
Starting point is 00:45:54 It infuriates me to see this. Don't you understand how you're being controlled by the CIA when you do this kind of stuff? I mean, we've seen this kind ofβ€”I've seen this throughout all this, you know, the years that I've been working as a journalist, I see this being done all the time by the CIA. People don't understand how they're being played with this stuff. And that's what makes me so angry. Maybe the survivors are angry, haunted by the thought that just a few minutes notice could have saved lives, many other things.
Starting point is 00:46:23 So I tweeted that out, that Associated Press article. I said, Maui residents who disobeyed the barricades survived the fires. Americans who disobeyed the vaccine orders survived. Those of us who did not mask, social distance, etc., did not get sick, and we thrived. Are you starting to see a pattern here? What does it tell you about our government?
Starting point is 00:46:53 I put a hashtag, do not comply. And so on an update, you know, when you look at what is happening in Canada, 15 arson fires on 49 fires. Is it much higher than what it has been in the past? The media is adamant to push this on to climate change. You see? And then you've got, that's the left-string media. The right-wing media is desperate to push it on to directed energy weapons. When the reality is this green agenda,
Starting point is 00:47:27 government maliciousness and incompetence, those are the real issues. But no, let's talk about this is caused by climate change or this is caused by directed energy weapons. And so Rebel News quotes the officials there in Alberta. They said it's important to note that human-caused fires are not limited to arsenic and include fires that are caused by campfires and residential burning, industrial or agricultural activity, or by off-highway vehicles,
Starting point is 00:47:57 you know, that type of thing. And so when you look at the statistics, as many fires as they've got in Alberta, they are up this year, up by 12% from last year. Not a whole lot. The big issue is the fact that the Canadian government is not really interested in putting out the fire. That's what I said. It's not so much how did the fire start.
Starting point is 00:48:17 Was it climate change? Was it directed energy? No, why can't you put these fires out? Again, that's their environmental policies going back decades so um they said wildfire wildfire season happens every single year said uh smith the who is the premier there in alberta we have to ensure that we're managing and mitigating and that's what they're not doing that's what we need to demand that they do. And many other things. This ought to be used to discredit the green agenda.
Starting point is 00:48:50 Instead, we're using it to discredit ourselves. That's the way I see it. She says, I'm very concerned there are arsonists, and there have been stories as well that we are investigating. There's currently 88 wildfires classified as being under investigation. It's important to note that this does not mean that the wildfires are suspicious, only that their cause has not yet been. Want to own part of the company that makes your favorite latte? Now you can.

Thank you for the tip. And I don't have a name there, but they have a comment. It says, parents with college-age kids, before you pay fall tuition,
Starting point is 00:51:32 I guess the name is a new study shows. Okay. All right. I thought that was a headline. Okay. I understand, Travis. Thank you. It says, before you pay fall tuition, email or call and ask for a written guarantee regarding masks, lockdowns, and vaccine policies.
Starting point is 00:51:52 Ask for a written reply that will guarantee a refund and a leave of absence. We need a lawyer to create a form letter that we can share. Can anybody help? The new lockdowns will start with schools. These colleges are already the 15-minute city model. I agree with all of that, absolutely. So yeah, if anybody wants to help to produce a form letter, that would be great.
Starting point is 00:52:18 You can't assume that because it's a conservative school or because it's a Christian school, they won't fall into this madness. I mean, they were just as bad, if not worse, than any of the other ones when you go back and look at it. And as they're having their little dog and pony show debates and all the rest of this stuff, and they're preening for the cameras, the governing bureaucracy and the governing intelligence agencies
Starting point is 00:52:43 that control all this stuff for the global plan. Again, yesterday, Jeffrey Tucker's article, Brownstone, excellent, said if we just had some questions that we could ask Trump or some of these people, which, of course, Tucker will not ask. You know, it's very interesting. You know, all these things were happening around the world at exactly the same time. You were doing things at exactly the same time.
Starting point is 00:53:06 All these other leaders around the world, as I've said for the longest time, it didn't matter what political party, what political philosophy they said they were following. They were all in lockstep with each other. and that was the worst of four scenarios in a Rockefeller study about this stuff about a decade ago. What happens if everybody operates in lockstep and they just lock everything down and everybody goes along with what they do? That's the worst possible scenario. Well, that's the one that we got.
Starting point is 00:53:43 And so you had a couple of writers there at Brownstone. And one of them said, if I could ask him a question, I would ask him Trump. So why was it that everybody was doing exactly the same thing at exactly the same time? And even announcing, you know, now two months ago, we told you we're going to do this. We're doing it today. And now two months from now, we're going to do the next step. So they were doing it with chaos. Doing it from the inside. And doing it iteratively.
Starting point is 00:54:18 As Fauci told us they were going to do. Before it all started. October 2019. Quite frankly, I think that is far more significant than event 201. That was just one of, you know, 20 or so of these things ever since 2001. But that's really where he laid the whole thing out very concisely. You know, they practiced every one of those germ games. They practiced locking everybody down, rushing a vaccine out, forcing everybody to get the vaccine in order to come out, all that stuff. We knew that was the plan.
Starting point is 00:54:49 But the idea that he would say, you do it with chaos, you do it from the inside, and you do it iteratively. That's it right there. He told us. So as they're getting ready to make America gulag again, you know, that kind of MAGA, let's put the guy who put us through all this stuff. The Republicans are out there cheering him.
Starting point is 00:55:07 Nobody wants to talk about what he did in 2020. Let's make America gulag again. Let's vote for Trump. He's the one who did it to us. Yeah, Biden continued it. He added his own garbage to it. But yeah, it's going to be fixed. Our choice is going to be the guy who did it to us initially or the guy who
Starting point is 00:55:26 continued to do it. Isn't that a great choice? Aren't elections important? No. So Rand Paul says these people have no shame. These people are so conflicted. He said, uh, as they are talking about reviving these COVID restrictions,
Starting point is 00:55:45 the mandates, the masks, all the rest of the stuff. Rand Paul said it's so dishonest to put people like that on the air to promote a product that they make more money from. Is he talking about Fox News pushing Pfizer stuff? Is that what he's talking about? Is he talking about himself and his wife making money from Gilead Pharmaceutical, makers of remdesivir? He says it defies all logic, it defies science, it defies common sense,
Starting point is 00:56:12 it defies ethics, it defies God, is what you're defying. To see this coming up again, these people have no shame, he said, talking about this college in Atlanta that we've talked about a couple of days ago, uh, Morris Brown college in Atlanta, a black private liberal arts college. Uh, he says that university is wanting everybody to mask up and do all this testing. He said they have no cases, zero cases, but even worse than that said Rand Paul, even when COVID was really more potent in 2020, sorry, Rand, sorry, wasn't the case. You're, you're referring back to propaganda about that. That wasn't the case.
Starting point is 00:56:59 We got cases here because we got PCIs we're magnifying 1.1 trillion times. Come on, you're a doctor. You're not that stupid. Seriously. Yeah, when it was really potent in 2020, the death rate for young, healthy people turned out to be close to zero. I said from the very beginning of this, I said, if you look at this, this is not a pandemic of any means. You look at, we got two weeks worth of information out of Italy before Trump pulled the trigger on the lockdown. I said, this is nothing other than the actuarial table.
Starting point is 00:57:30 This is people who are at or above life expectancy who have two and a half comorbidities dying during flu season. That's all this is. And they continue to show that. It was, if you look at the death by ages, it was the actuarial table. It wasn't at all like former pandemics. Everybody wants to talk about the 1917, 1918 flu epidemic. You look at that, and you have, as I've mentioned this many times,
Starting point is 00:58:02 those who are under one year old and those who are 80 or above, they were really high. Everybody else was about the same. Every other age was about the same. And that's what you would expect a pandemic to look like. This pandemic was just a reproduction of life expectancy charts where as you get older, you're more likely to die. He says, we don't know for sure because the CDC won't release the data, but we do know that Germany released all of their data and not one young, healthy person died.
Starting point is 00:58:37 He doesn't say until they got the shots. Then they died, and they're still dying. Going back to Rand. So it's a crime to mandate masks. You know, it's a crime to mandate vaccines, which do have some risks for young, healthy people. Rand, it is a crime to not tell people what is killing and sterilizing them. It's a crime to not warn young people about these shots that many times give them myocarditis
Starting point is 00:59:10 that is like having a heart attack. They can detect it with the chemical that is, what is it, troponin or something like that, the one that's released when you have a heart attack, even though they don't feel anything. And then they have same life expectancy
Starting point is 00:59:24 as somebody who has had a heart attack. Is that a crime not to tell them that? Americans are not going to lay down and take it again. He said there will be more resistance this time. Well, he's right about that. Want to own part of the company that makes your favorite latte? Now you can.

We will fight back, he said, and we will point out that they are making money off of this. You know, like Rand Paul and his wife made money off of Gilead and Remdesivir. These are not high-minded people. They're making money off of us and making money off of generating hysteria, he said. Well, again, he's right, but it is a limited hangout that's there. And the aftermath of these lockdowns and this panic is still with us. California church
Starting point is 01:00:20 fined $1.2 million for defying COVID lockdowns. And they are now suing the government because the government spied on worshipers. Calvary Chapel San Jose, harassed and fined by Santa Clara County. And I've talked about this in the past, but it's important to remember this. It's important to look at the complaint that we now have. Pastor Mike McClure in his lawsuit accused Santa Clara County of invasive and warrantless geofencing operation to spy on worshipers. The government used software to track worshipers to see when they were on church premises.
Starting point is 01:01:06 I've said for the longest time, geospatial intelligence. You go back to the 1990s as the internet was becoming practical and you had CIA even openly created a venture capital firm to push these social media companies and other ones because they knew that was going to be a key way that they were going to attract people. Geospatial intelligence branch, and by the way, that's where this Grush guy, the UFO guy came from, geospatial intelligence.
Starting point is 01:01:40 This is where James Clapper came from. James Clapper was rising up through geospatial intelligence, the fastest growing part of the intelligence agencies. So they go out and they fund the people who are going to be competing to control the internet. And those people, even though they were competing against each other, they were controlled by the intelligence community who had all of their top executives on these venture capital boards and even had their own venture capital firm at the CIA. And the purpose of all this, the geospatial intelligence purpose, was to map people's political and religious beliefs. They're upfront about that. And to use it for things like
Starting point is 01:02:23 anticipatory intelligence. Well, I know this person is a conservative Republican, and I've seen them going to the school board meetings and stuff like that. They're a problem for us. They're an extremist. They're terrorists. Let's watch them closer, see if we can find something on them, that type of thing. But during the lockdown, this is what the pastor said there at Calvary Chapel.
Starting point is 01:02:47 He said, this type of expansive geofencing operation is not only, this is the legal complaint, I should say. It's not what he said. This is on the legal complaint. This type of expansive geofencing operation is not only an invasion of privacy, but it represents a terrifying precedent if allowed to go unaddressed. As it stands, the defendants are effectively arguing that as long as they call it research, any level of government can target and spy on any individual or any group at any time for any duration, and if they so choose, they can wield the collected data against said individuals or groups who oppose their orders. This is not just un-American.
Starting point is 01:03:29 It is downright Orwellian. And so they did that. They spied on them. Then they hit them with a $1.2 million fine for defying their lockdown orders and going to church. And now this church is countersuing them, and good for them. The pastor Mike McClure at Calvary Chapel San Jose said, our church respects the rights and privacy of all of our members. We are not just standing up for the rights of our church family. We're standing up for the rights of religious people across this country.
Starting point is 01:04:04 And I would say the rights of everybody, religious or not, is what they're standing up for. And of course, Fauci's had his moment. He did, you know, he's retired. He's now affiliated with Georgetown University. And this was at Wayne State University where he's giving a presentation.
Starting point is 01:04:23 The presentation event is called Pandemic Lessons and the Role of Faculty in Pandemic Preparedness with Dr. Anthony Fauci. Jordan Slachtel covered this, but I want to play for you before we say what he said that was outrageous at this. Just remember how this guy lies and just remember where he from, and remember how long he's been playing this game, and remember how he misused Cary Mullis, the guy who won the Nobel Prize for the PCR test. Remember how he misused that to say there's a correlation between AIDS and a virus. A virus, you know, we got a virus out there, HIV.
Starting point is 01:05:02 And Cary Mullis fought him on that. There were other scientists who fought him on that correlation. He said, no, it's not caused by a virus. And Carey Mullis said, well, you can't prove that with my stuff. The way you're using it, you're misusing it. You can find anything if you magnify it that much. But Fauci was insistent on it. And here he is telling a lie about AIDS that you can get it just by standing next to somebody. We may be starting to see, as we're seeing virtually as the months go by, other groups that can be involved. And seeing it in children is really quite disturbing.
Starting point is 01:05:36 When you say other close contact, give me some examples. Well, for example, if the close contact of a child is a household contact, perhaps there will be a certain number of cases of individuals who are just living with and in close contact with someone with AIDS or at risk of AIDS who does not necessarily have to have intimate sexual contact or share a needle, but just the ordinary close contact that one sees in normal interpersonal relations. No, it is sexual contact and sharing needles that's how you do it and of course now they know that and um fda and uh cdc and everything said no we're not going to um we're not going to stop people who are practicing homosexuals we're not going to stop them from
Starting point is 01:06:19 giving blood let's contaminate the blood supply even more. So part of what he said with this presentation, it goes back to that lie that they put out, the lie that I've talked about so many times. Yeah, New York City was overrun. They had to have cooler trucks outside because they didn't have any place to put the bodies. You know, they're like burying them in Central Park and all that stuff, right? Think about all the imagery that they were pushing out with that stuff.
Starting point is 01:06:48 Think about how they showed the Army Field Hospital that Trump put there. 2,500 beds. I still remember the single picture that you would see of that, that they kept showing all the time, all the time. All of these beds, as far as you could see, they're just waiting for you. You're going to die, get buried in Central Park and that type of thing. Never showed a picture of a single person there.
Starting point is 01:07:14 They left it there for a few weeks and they took it back. You think Trump didn't know that? You think Trump didn't know that as he sent the field hospital ship to send the field hospital to there and Central Park. He also sent the hospital ships to New York City, to LA. They never used them. They eventually took them away. Why didn't he do anything about that?
Starting point is 01:07:39 Why didn't he call BS on all this stuff at that point in time? Why didn't anybody? Now I was pointing out, look, they're not using anything. It's not real. You even got Franklin Graham. You know, you take a lot of flack from these people. I don't want you here. We may be dying, but you don't support abortion and you don't support homosexual marriage.
Starting point is 01:07:58 So get out of here. Even if we're dying, I wouldn't want you around here to help me. So he had a lot of talk about that. They didn't do anything with anybody. There was no emergency. There was no pandemic. So they quietly packed up and went home. Does Franklin Graham not know that?
Starting point is 01:08:17 Does Trump not know that? That she's still lying about this stuff. You had to have something. He said to immediately shut down the tsunami of infection. Nothing but lies and propaganda. Yeah, lockdown was absolutely justified, he said. Lockdown has a purpose. One of the purposes is, if you don't have a vaccine,'s to get more ventilators, to get the hospitals better prepared. Yeah, start them on their cash program, right?
Starting point is 01:08:52 And again, we've talked about the ventilators. They're scrap metal now. Pulmonologists are looking at this saying, what are they doing? What are they doing? Why would you do that? We've never done that to people who have respiratory disease. Why would you even do that? We've never done that to people who have respiratory disease. Why would you even do that? He went on to say, if you got a vaccine available,
Starting point is 01:09:12 you might want to lock down temporarily, you know? Temporarily. So you can get everybody vaccinated. Yeah, he is just a prostitute and a vaccine prick is all he is. These people, and no questions about this. No questions to any of these people about Fauci. No questions from Tucker Carlson to Donald Trump about Fauci. Trump wants to focus on 2020, but only on certain things, right? Tucker isn't going to talk about Pfizer.
Starting point is 01:09:46 He isn't going to make Trump look bad. He's not going to ask him any uncomfortable questions. Tucker knows he's going to cover for it. That's all you need to know about Tucker. Just take a look at this interview and how he's using it. He's there with Trump. He's using it to increase his reach and his popularity. He's doing us a big disservice.
Starting point is 01:10:11 He's part of the cover-up of what happened in 2020. The conversation continued with Fauci declaring that climate change is playing a role in causing outbreaks. There you go, see, all these pandemics is about climate change. You can role in causing outbreaks. There you go. See, all these pandemics is about climate change. You can merge the MacGuffins. That's what he's trying to do here. He called for, quote,
Starting point is 01:10:33 got to have an international commitment to decrease the carbon imprint in society so you don't have the kinds of crazy weather we're talking about in this country. Jordan Schachtel says, yeah, that's a real quote. You can't believe the nonsense coming out of this guy. He went on to blame Maui on climate change. Yeah, okay, well, that's what I said. Left will blame it on climate change, the right will blame it on directed energy weapons,
Starting point is 01:11:03 and that's all we have to do is talk about that. Let's not talk about the vaccines. Let's talk about the lab leak because that's really sensational. And then let's not talk about stopping gain of function. You understand how these people always work. They always misdirect us. The painful pandemic lessons that Mandy Cohen carries to the CDC. This is coming from NPR.
Starting point is 01:11:27 Do you know Mandy Cohen? She's the one that I played that clip of. She was the North Carolina. She was running the lockdown for the state of North Carolina. Remember, she's giddy and she's laughing to other people. So I just call up my friend, you know, up in Massachusetts or wherever it was. Are you going to let them go to the baseball? Well, then I'm not either. Are you going to go to the baseball? Well, then I'm not either.
Starting point is 01:11:45 Are you going to let them do that? Well, then I'm not either. She's no better than Matt Hancock. That's actually dumber. Yeah, what are we going to do? Oh, okay, well, let's do that. Yeah, Matt Hancock, he's laughing at people there. But NPR portrays her as something of a victim. And they make this all about the
Starting point is 01:12:08 fact that they've got a very, very long article about how she fought to get more testing in black communities, the most vulnerable people during this horrific COVID pandemic. Can you believe the nonsense coming out of these people? It is truly unbelievable. Well, before we take a break, on Rockfan Aaron Moss, thank you very much for the tip. He says, thanks, DK, Travis, and family, including the pups. We've got lots of them now. I already appreciate the consistency and the integrity. Well, thank you very much, and I really do appreciate the tip. Thank you, Aaron. I appreciate that.
Starting point is 01:12:48 Let's take a quick break, and when we come back, let's talk a little bit more about how we do not have to be hopeless in all of this. We'll be right back. Terima kasih telah menonton! Thank you. You're listening to The David Knight Show. Just to finish what he was saying. I don't know how that got cut off. Let's talk about what is happening to some Christians. You think things are bad here? Yeah, they're setting people up to die and not just focusing necessarily on Christians. There is a lot of Christian persecution that is ramping up here. But they're coming after everybody, coming after our food,
Starting point is 01:14:59 trying to force us to take drugs and the rest of this stuff, tracking Christians to see if they're going to go to a church or not, and hitting the church with a $1.2 million fine. That's kind of a first world problem. It's bad. It's bad, but it's not nearly as bad as the Christians in Pakistan have it. And not just the Christians in Pakistan, every other religion. And you know, have you noticed a pattern here? Have you noticed that as a religion, you know, we noticed, have you noticed a pattern here? Have you noticed that it's a religion?
Starting point is 01:15:27 You know, we have a predominant religion in a country that a couple of things happen. A lot of times that gets merged into a state religion. And even if it doesn't, there's an alliance there. And all these other religions seem to be perfectly happy to persecute everybody else. In Pakistan, it's the Muslims, and they're coming after the Christians and the Hindus and so forth. In India, it's the Hindu government,
Starting point is 01:15:55 and they're coming after the Christians and the Muslims. See the pattern here? It was Christian society that ended slavery. And these people, and it is in Christian society, that gave us an appreciation for freedom of religion. In Pakistan, one person said, we Christians are like animals. He means slaughtered like animals. Yes.
Starting point is 01:16:24 All day long, we're led like sheep to the slaughter. A Pakistani seminary student shares firsthand an account of violence that is there. A witness filmed a mob attacking church buildings, burning homes. This is all based on
Starting point is 01:16:40 accusations of blasphemy. Not credible ones because when you look at what a tiny minority Christians are in Pakistan, why do you really believe that you're going to have some Christian go up to a Muslim and grab his book and rip pages out of it and burn the Quran? Really? Or is that something that they're throwing at people? It is against the law to commit blasphemy against Islam in Pakistan. And they can get people locked up for years and years,
Starting point is 01:17:10 just like they're doing to the January 6 prisoners here, if they accuse them of blasphemy. In a sense, we have secular blasphemy that the Democrats are locking people up and have found some of them guilty of for life. The real insurrection is being done by the Democrats who are throwing out the rule of law and the Constitution. And yet they project that onto other people. This is blasphemy to say that there could be anything wrong with the election.
Starting point is 01:17:42 This is blasphemy to peacefully protest and to redress your grievances. And so we're going to get anybody who was there, that type of thing. And not just somebody who rioted, not somebody who was violent, but anybody who's there. We're not going to allow that. Broken glass, ashes, piles of rubble. These are what remains of the Christian churches and homes in Jaranwala, Pakistan, burned in a surge of mob violence last week. And of course, we've seen the same type of thing happening throughout India. This is one of the reasons why you had some Muslim legislators and people aligned with Ilhan Omar who protested the prime minister of India, Modi, when he came.
Starting point is 01:18:29 No Christians protested, and yet they don't just do it to Muslims. They do it to Christians in India. Same type of thing. But here, it's the Muslims who are in charge, and they're doing it to the Hindus and the Christians. Always do the Christians get it as well. Allegations that a Christian and his friend had blasphemed by ripping pages out of a Quran. I saw with tears in my eyes how the mob desecrated crosses on roofs of the churches and graveyards. They ruined church buildings.
Starting point is 01:18:56 They burnt Bibles and altars. Instead, a 28-year-old, a seminary student, who serves the poor in nearby Faisalabad, told Fox News that he and a friend heard about the calls for violence against Christians that day, immediately departed for Jaranwala. He said he witnessed the rioting and the looting firsthand. He filmed some of the violence on a smartphone so the world would know what was happening to Christians there. So much hatred, so much jealousy, envy, enmity from Muslims toward Christians. It seems that we Christians are like animals to them. Whenever they want to kill, they kill, and whenever they want to spare, they give a free hand.
Starting point is 01:19:38 By his account, more than 25 churches were damaged, hundreds of homes were attacked, rioters first looted property from the buildings, then used the flammable liquids to set them on fire. They looted the dowry of a young girl who was about to get married soon. They took the animals and all the good things, he said. Very poor country. They have a dowry of animals that comes along with the girl. There are 4.2 million Christians in Pakistan and a country of 229 million. That means they're only 1.8% of the population. The vast majority, 96.5% are Muslims and 2.1% Hindus. So both Hindus and Christians are about 2%. Hindus a little bit more than Christians. But it's almost all Muslim. And these blasphemy laws allow them to target people. They said Christians face a quarter of all the allegations of blasphemy,
Starting point is 01:20:40 even though they're only about 2% of the population. 25% of the charges of blasphemy are against them. The laws are used to settle grudges and to exact revenge. A simple allegation of having insulted the prophet or desecrated a Quran is enough to see the accused imprisoned for years while they wait for a trial. Hmm, like I said, sounds like January the 6th. How dare you?
Starting point is 01:21:07 You disrespected Pelosi, not the prophet, but Pelosi. We'll put you in jail and torture you for years before you even get a trial. A lot of people not had a trial yet. A lot of people have, uh, have been railroaded in these kangaroo courts. And we got people again again, two elderly guys, one of them a retired pastor in their 70s, and one of them's son, they're there.
Starting point is 01:21:34 They have to go to the bathroom. They ask the guards, is there a bathroom? Yeah, sure, come on in, go around here. They walk in, use the bathroom, come back out. One of them asked a female police officer, is there any better way out of here? She tries to get them to go onto the floor of the Capitol, of the house. And they think, well, no, I don't think that's the way. They go another way. Or they said they would have been on there and they would have gotten in even more trouble. But they're looking for several years in jail. It's what our criminal government
Starting point is 01:22:05 is trying to put against them. You know, it's kind of funny. Tucker didn't ask Trump anything about that. Didn't ask him anything about why didn't he pardon any of the January 6th people ahead of time. What is he going to do to help them? None of that
Starting point is 01:22:21 stuff. Trump's still bragging about how many people showed up. It's his ego. It's his ego. It's all that matters to him. And so these people, these elderly people, are going to get what is essentially a life sentence for walking in, you know,
Starting point is 01:22:38 peacefully walking in and using the bathroom at the direction of police officers there at the front door. A federal court has ruled for a Catholic orchard owner who was banned from a farmer's market in a nearby liberal city over his religious beliefs. This goes back to 2017. They've been fighting this case. I've reported on this before. The owner of Country Mill Farms and his family were improperly forced to choose between following their religious beliefs and a government benefit for which they were otherwise qualified. The city retaliated against the family over their statement online that they followed Catholic Church teachings regarding marriage, which meant that he would not be having same-sex
Starting point is 01:23:22 wedding ceremonies on his estate. See, he committed blasphemy, didn't he? You can commit blasphemy against the secular religion. You can commit blasphemy against the LGBT religion. And so they came after him to punish him for his blasphemy. So what they did was they blocked him from a farmer's market where he sold his farm produce. It's a 128-acre farm that he has, a second-generation farm
Starting point is 01:23:54 located in Charlotte, Michigan. He and his wife operate this. They had sold organic products at the farmer's market in East Lansing, Michigan since 2010. But when he said after they started making same-sex mirage legal, he said, we'll not be doing any mirages on our property because we're traditional Catholics. City officials then decided that they would target them and they would make sure that they were not going to be able to use the farmer's market anymore, retaliate against them. How much
Starting point is 01:24:33 longer is it going to be before they go out and burn their farm down or something, right? Maybe set up a back burn or something like that, like they're doing up in Canada. This was a tough decision we had to make seven years ago when we were faced with the choice of providing for our family like we always had or walking away from our religious beliefs. And as parents and veterans, that was a tough decision to make, he said. They were represented in the fight by the Alliance Defending Freedom, and they have now won in their pursuit. They now have established the fact that they cannot be kicked out of this farmer's market for their religious beliefs, which is what these authoritarian leftists wanted to do,
Starting point is 01:25:18 to punish them. Abortion radicals, when we talk about this, we're going to talk next about the debate. I know we'll talk about it. Everybody wants to hear about it. So I've got lots of clips from it. We'll show you what they have to say, and we'll talk about that. But again, these are the important issues, folks. I've covered them first.
Starting point is 01:25:39 This is where we live. This is our life. That is a distraction, an abstraction, if you will. We've got to stop living like voyeurs watching these politicians who have absolutely no concern over us. That was a great admission by Mike Pence. Tucker got him to say that Tucker's not, Tucker can do that kind of stuff, right? And he did it with everybody else. It's not going to do any of that stuff with Trump. Oh, it was a softball. It wasn't even softball. It was wiffleball. I mean, it was pathetic. I went through the transcript. It was absolutely pathetic. I've got a clip of that too as well.
Starting point is 01:26:23 But it wasn't even softball. It was worse than that. And one of the things that they talk about is abortion. Fox News' Martha McCollum thinks that that is a losing issue. It is a losing issue for this country if we embrace it. That's for sure. That is for sure. Abortion radicals are attacking a pro-abortion governor for not being pro-abortion enough. Religious zealots for which abortion is a right, R-I-T-E. This is in Colorado where leftist governor Jared Polis,
Starting point is 01:26:53 who's actually a member of the LGBT, card-carrying member, or whatever they do to get their membership going. That's part of his identity politics. Pro-abortion radicals are now attacking an ardently pro-abortion governor for not being pro-abortion enough. It's a WND story. The odd conflict developed in Colorado, which is so pro-abortion that its lawmakers declared that the unborn have no legal protection or rights whatsoever. The governor committed the pro-abortion,
Starting point is 01:27:29 a committed pro-abortionist in an interview said, quote, Democrats don't believe abortion is good. We believe it's bad and it should be minimized. How do you prevent unwanted pregnancies to make sure that people are empowered with the information that they need? Oh, that's such an older approach of the people who want to kill babies. Now, I don't like abortion. It's bad. And we have to try to make sure that we can address this in
Starting point is 01:27:57 some other way, but it needs to be there. It has to be there. Even though it's bad, we have to have it. That is the way the Democrats used to always cover this stuff. And evidently he hasn't gotten the memo that now abortion is a good thing. Well, he got the memos hard and fast after he said that. They were vicious and they immediately came. Documented by a columnist, John Caldara, who's president of the Independence Institute. He said, this is a sane statement, the type of thing that has always been said by the Democrats. Anybody should say, you would think, well, abortion is bad and I want it to be rare,
Starting point is 01:28:39 but it's got to be legal, that type of thing. That's been the approach that the left has typically taken to this. But when you get on this downward slope and you divorce yourself from ethics, you push God out of your life and any responsibility or accountability to God, this is where you wind up. You wind up celebrating evil. And that's where they are, these Democrats. It was the, quote, mouthpiece of the progressive hit squad, New Era Colorado, Natasha Berwick, who said, we believe abortion is safe and good. Caldara responded and said, safe and good?
Starting point is 01:29:17 You mean like a mildly strenuous exercise and a high-fiber diet? He said all medical procedures, by definition, are not safer than no medical procedure, period, end of discussion. You see, even this guy who was trying to push back against them, he's ashamed to stand on an ethical foundation. He's ashamed to stand on what God has said about killing innocent people. And that's how we get there. Even the people, see, it's amazing that Jared Polis tries to take this old, tired old, you know, trick.
Starting point is 01:29:54 He's called out by the left. He says, it's good. Abortion is good. We want it. And then even the people who oppose it say, well, it's still got a risk because it's a medical procedure. They don't have the courage and the backbone to directly oppose this. That's where we are right now.
Starting point is 01:30:11 You know, he is embracing the position. Do you understand how we've slid? He's embracing the position that the Democrats used to have. Well, you know, it's kind of, there's some risk involved in it, so we don't really want to cheer it along and uh so um anyway one of the people that push back is a man who pretends to be a woman he is the first transgender legislator elected in colorado he calls himself now brianna is his first name uh a man who's pretending to be a woman and what is so funny is he comes out with a very condescending thing you know like well you know us women really understand that
Starting point is 01:30:52 men can't understand this it's like you're not a woman you're a man you'll never have to face this decision either pal uh so he says he's a man talking about abortion he has a hard time like men do talking about abortion oh well okay taking this i mean this is how perverted and twisted this whole thing is colorado is a beautiful area and uh they've got some people out in the rural areas that are just fit to be tied because they're being run by these lunatics out of Denver and other places like that. But I tell you what, you know, we took a long time to get up there from Texas. I used to love to drive up to Colorado, but I'd never lived there. Even Polis's own office had to try to help saying he's staunchly pro-choice. Our governor isn't pro-choice. He's pro-abortion.
Starting point is 01:31:44 Well, what's the difference? Well, pro-abortion well what's the difference well not having a choice that's the difference yeah okay and then you've got um the hill with a headline all male south carolina supreme court upholds fetal heartbeat and they put fetal heartbeat in quotation marks like yeah fetal heartbeat right yeah like there is such a thing yeah there is you can hear it all male south carolina supreme court upholds quote fetal heartbeat abortion ban wow so i guess because they're men because you got to be a woman to understand what life is to understand when life begins you have to be a man to understand that you've got to protect life. Well, unfortunately, even the people in Colorado who are opposed to abortion won't man up and fight this stuff.
Starting point is 01:32:39 You could get hurt doing these operations, you know, that type of thing. And the question is, so what about the women? What is it, what selfish desire has blinded women to this clear moral issue? What has seared their conscience with a hot iron so that they no longer care what God says? No longer care about a child? What has happened to our society? Well, we know what has happened. It is the idea of this, you know, you see it in the Snow White movie. Oh, this is so, oh yeah, that's so 1937.
Starting point is 01:33:18 We're not doing that again. I mean, that girl is so full of herself. 17 or 18 years old or something. She gets a role in the remake of West Side Story that nobody watched that Steven Spielberg did. And then she gets the part as Snow White and she has nothing but contempt for Snow White. Oh, yes. It's really weird. This guy wants to marry her or something.
Starting point is 01:33:42 And he's like stalking her. Oh, no, we're not going to do that. And she says, so we don't know even whether we're going to have this Prince Charming guy in there. You know, it's Hollywood, baby. Hear that? That's like a 17-year-old girl talking. She's so full of herself, lifted up with pride and the money that she's making and the attention that she's getting. This is what happens to people with fame and money in Hollywood.
Starting point is 01:34:08 Next thing you know, they're turn out like Judy Garland, you know, they're on drugs and all the rest of this stuff because they're so paranoid about where their next film is going to come from. How are they going to sustain this money and drug habit that they've got? How are they going to sustain this desire to be fawned over all the time? Here's a good story. Here's a movie that's coming out this weekend. It brings me closer to Jesus.
Starting point is 01:34:34 This is the Ricky Hill story, a movie about a miraculous baseball career. And it begins very much like Forrest Gump. This is a kid who, when he was born, as I point out, tethered by the weight of braces binding his legs, Ricky Hill grew up hitting rocks with sticks and dreaming of one day hearing the crack of his bat against a fly ball that was headed for the outfield. That dream, he was told, could never be a reality.
Starting point is 01:35:02 The odds against him and the near countless exploratory surgeries that he had undergone were just stacked too high. I had no disc in my spine, he said. People didn't realize that I was born with no disc. My grandmother and my great-grandmother were in wheelchairs. I'd never seen them any differently. I was headed in the same direction. So I guess, you know, when this is a hereditary thing, I guess they should just
Starting point is 01:35:31 aborted him, right? You know, that's the argument a lot of people made. And of course, some of the early arguments against abortion was, well, so you got this mother's heavily into drugs. She's in a prostate or whatever. She's got syphilis, this baby that's going to be born. Can't hear. Would you kill the baby? Would you abort the baby? Well, you just aborted Beethoven, that type of thing. So I guess they could have just aborted him. He doesn't have a disc in his spine. He's got mother, grandmother, all have this hereditary issue. But they didn't. He was the son of a Baptist preacher. He grew up trusting God's plan.
Starting point is 01:36:08 Hill, whose life story is the subject of a new movie, The Hill, starring Dennis Quaid and Colin Ford, and it's coming out tomorrow. He was a tenacious kid, says Faithwire, a tenacious kid undeterred by physical limitations that grounded him. So at just eight years old, he walked out of the clunky supports that straightened his legs, which were twisted around one another at birth, and he picked up a baseball bat. Again, just like Forrest Gump. One day at eight years old, I busted those braces off and I never put them back on, he said. The boldness, the reckless courage it took Hill to walk away from the physical limitations dictating his future,
Starting point is 01:36:53 he said, came straight from God himself. And his tenacious spirit paid off. Between his impressive batting skills and his gritty determination, Hill scored a tryout at 19 years old with the Montreal Expos, a major league baseball franchise. Although he was signed and ultimately released from the team, he went on to play four seasons in minor league baseball. The man who discovered him, a baseball scout named Red Murph,
Starting point is 01:37:23 described the young player as, quote, the best pure hitting prospect he's ever seen, unquote. Hill only bowed out of the sport when his health prevented him from continuing. But it didn't matter, because he had already achieved his dream in his father's, albeit unconventionally. He said, I knew one day that I would make it somehow, some way. It didn't matter the pain. I weathered the pain, because,. It didn't matter the pain. I weathered the pain because he said it was very painful. But I weathered that storm through the pain and I
Starting point is 01:37:52 just had it built in. My father had it. I had it. Bill's father, which is portrayed by Quaid in the movie, was apprehensive about the idea of a career in baseball. He wanted Hill to follow his dream and become a pastor. He said, I was probably the only baseball player ever that never said a curse word. I'd get on the buses and I'd start preaching to the guys on the bus, the guys that would listen and singing gospel songs, leading gospel songs while we were on the road traveling. And that carried on through my baseball career. So I say, even though he followed his dream of playing baseball, he was following his father's dream of being a preacher. Even in the moments when he didn't understand God's plan,
Starting point is 01:38:45 like when he was paralyzed on the field. He said he never abandoned hope or trust in God's sovereignty. That one he said I didn't understand, but I never gave up hope and faith, and I went through the major surgeries that restored my legs. I've got nine screws in my spine. I have six cages and a 14-inch rod that holds me together. And today I'm very thankful. In mid-August, he threw the ceremonial first pitch before the baseball game between the LA Rangers, Angels and the Texas
Starting point is 01:39:19 Rangers. Seeing his life journey turn into a film is yet another confirmation of God's faithfulness. In the late 1970s, his brother recorded the baseball player's harrowing story in a small book that was intended only for the family. At the time, somebody in their church got a hold of it and sent it to Hollywood, where a studio expressed interest in turning the book into a movie. I'm sure it wasn't Disney. It wouldn't have been Disney. Anybody but Disney, right? Both of his parents became seriously ill at the same time, and his father has passed away.
Starting point is 01:39:52 All these years later, the story was picked up again. And listen to this. This could be a pretty good movie. I mean, they've got some good actors in it. The screenwriter is the one who wrote the screenplay for Hoosiers and for Rudy. So that's right down his alley there. Even this movie has brought me just closer to God, Hill said through tears. Because of what I went through, it brings me closer to Jesus Christ.
Starting point is 01:40:22 Because I know that this story was ordained before I was even in my mother's womb. So when we come back, we'll talk about the Republicans and abortion. We'll be right back. Thank you. you're listening to the david knight show as eight republican presidential candidates are faced with their biggest test yet brought to you by pfizer it's debate night but we're not in milwaukee
Starting point is 01:41:44 sponsored by pfizer Biggest test yet. Brought to you by Pfizer. It's debate night, but we're not in Milwaukee. Sponsored by Pfizer. Yeah, yeah. You might as well have had the debates and Tucker and Trump and all of them. Brought to you by Pfizer. Nobody talked about it. As a matter of fact, one post on Twitter, inversionism, he said everybody should find it very odd and even more concerning that neither the theatrical debate nor the Trump-Tucker interview
Starting point is 01:42:13 talked about the COVID vaccine or about vaccines in general. You know, and I will also add, because I looked, I don't have, I couldn't find any evidence that it was talked about in the debate i don't have the transcript for that but i do have the transcript for the tucker trump display i won't even call it an interview i don't give it that much of a boost anyway they i could go through that i could do word searches to see what was talked about. And I've got a whole list of things. I basically didn't talk about anything that was really important.
Starting point is 01:42:54 Trump wanted to talk about himself. Of course. Anyway, inversionism says, why did they not talk about the COVID vaccine or vaccines in general? Or, you know, any of this lockdown stuff? He said, why? Well, advertisers. Did Trump and Tucker talk before the interview and agree not to bring it up? It's really odd how Trump's entire base thinks the vaccine is a poison bioweapon, but it lets him skate on not addressing it.
Starting point is 01:43:23 So there you go. You know, you and I are not the only ones who see this. Somebody called inversionism sees it as well. I think it's just the most amazing Trump derangement syndrome I've ever seen in my life. These people absolutely hate it. I've talked about Wayne Allyn Root and so many of these, and not just the rank and file, but the people who are pushing this stuff out there. Wayne Allyn Root. Oh, the vaccine is the most horrible thing.
Starting point is 01:43:46 But, you know, it's not Trump's fault. And he needs to stop talking about that. I've heard Wayne Allen Root say it. I've heard Alex Jones say this. I've heard over and over, all these people. He needs to stop talking about that. Come on. You know, he's proud of what he did, and he's got to stop that.
Starting point is 01:44:00 Well, he's quit talking about it now. He's not talking about it at all. Well, he finally got the message of how stupid it is to talk about it. And how eventually, I guess, his people, his people are so smart. You know, he could kill somebody and he could shoot people all over the world. He could kill who knows how many people. And his people would still follow him. And they've said that. And I played that clip for you.
Starting point is 01:44:27 It's not just Trump talking about how delusional and cultic they were. They admit it in interviews. Oh, yeah, I don't care about any of these indictments. Trump could kill somebody and I'd still vote for him. Well, guess what? He killed a lot of people. He crippled a lot of people. He sterilized a lot of people. He crippled a lot of people. He sterilized a lot of people.
Starting point is 01:44:46 He's the father of the vaccine. And he'll tell you if you really press him on it. So do you guys think that he was waiting for something? Do you think it's a strategy? For what purpose? I don't understand anymore. He said, we know Fox gets pharma advertising money. So it's obviously not going to be asked in the debate that's being run by Fox. Why isn't Tucker talking about this now?
Starting point is 01:45:11 Isn't he free to talk about it? Well, again, he doesn't want to offend the MAGA cult. It's a literal existential threat, with the Biden administration pushing for another booster and for masks again. And yet no one on the Republican side seems to want to talk about it because you see our lives, our liberties, our constitution is not their concern. It's not just Pence. It's all of them.
Starting point is 01:45:43 And it's the media as well. It's Tucker as well as Fox News. It's complete clown world theater of useless platitudes and mass placation, says inversionism. RFK has other issues that I disagree with him on, but at least he cares about the problems pertaining to health. None of these political gymnastics are relevant. If you're maimed or if you're dead from a vaccine, pharmaceutical product, toxic food, or some environmental toxin that they don't care about. Well, that is absolutely right.
Starting point is 01:46:18 So what did they care about? Well, the very first thing they talked about was Oliver Anthony, and they played a clip of his song there. The guys are sitting there. It's such a silly little thing, the way they set up this debate. Even to the extent they kept going, raise your hand if this, raise your hand if you, and at one point, Ron DeSantis says, we're not school kids.
Starting point is 01:46:39 We can address this. Here's what I think about this. Good for him. I am so sick of this. Raise your hands if you do this raise your hand if you do that and so um the reality is though that when this thing came up uh they said so what do you think about this rich man north of richmond de santa said well it's biden it's biden it's bidenomics and it's his son hunter who can make
Starting point is 01:47:03 all this money off of, um, selling paint paintings. And they, people just can't relate to that. And really it's, it's all just Biden. It's not the trillions of dollars. You know, that's one thing Nikki Haley got right about the only thing I could see that she got right. Well, she talked about how a Republicans pushed us into this massive multi-trillion dollar thing that's causing inflation.
Starting point is 01:47:29 Oh, no, but it's Bidenomics, says DeSantis. And then Chris Christie says, well, you know, I was elected in a blue state as governor, so I'm relatable to these blue-collar people. Is that supposed to be the connection with it? I don't know talk about being out of touch and unrelatable maybe he related to the fudge rounds part of the song exactly the short fudge round thing he missed his opportunity to say was he talking about me
Starting point is 01:47:59 maybe they didn't play it that long and i'm sure that none of these guys has ever have ever listened to that song and so then uh after they do the um Oliver Anthony thing they asked them about climate change they asked them about abortion here's the Breitbart headline because uh Breitbart doesn't think that climate change and abortion are all that important they said said Fox News asked GOP candidates about climate change, abortion before crime, immigration, and China. Well, you know, maybe they don't understand what a big issue the climate MacGuffin is. Because they don't care about the COVID MacGuffin, and Breitbart never did.
Starting point is 01:48:41 They never cared about the concerns about the vaccine. Breitbart doesn't care that there were no questions at all about the pandemic or about jabs. I mean, there was a question about UFOs toward the end of the debate directed at Chris Christie. And to his credit, he kind of laughs and he goes, we got a lot more serious stuff to talk about than that. Good for him.
Starting point is 01:49:05 I'm glad to see one. Raise your hands. We're not school kids there. We got more important things to talk about than UFOs. I'm glad when these people push back against these idiots from Fox News. But Breitbart doesn't really see climate change or abortion as a big issue. Martha McCollum asked GOP hopefuls about climate change, abortion rights, ahead of what is likely the voters' top concerns, crime, immigration,
Starting point is 01:49:32 and the threat of China. And they say that when CBS News asked Republican voters, they said 86% of them said that lowering inflation was their top issue. 83% said cutting crime. 81% said stopping illegal immigration. They don't say how many people mentioned China because that's Breitbart's concern. They want a war with that.
Starting point is 01:49:58 And so they said, do you believe that human behavior is causing climate change? Here's the clip. Polls consistently show that young people's number one issue causing climate change. Here's the clip. Polls consistently show that young people's number one issue is climate change. How will you, as both president of the United States and leader of the Republican Party, calm their fears that the Republican Party doesn't care about climate change? So we want to start on this with a show of hands. Do you believe in human behavior is causing climate change? Raise your hand if you do. Look, we're not schoolchildren. Let's have the debate. I mean, I'm happy to take it to start.
Starting point is 01:50:30 Alexander, I don't think that's the way to do. So let me just say to Alexander this. First of all, one of the reasons our country's decline is because of the way the corporate media treats Republicans versus Democrats. Biden was on the beach while those people were suffering. He was asked about it. He said, no comment. Are you kidding me? As somebody that's handled disasters in Florida, you've got to be activated. You've got to be there. You've got to be present. You've got to be helping people who are doing this. And here's the yes? Is that a yes? Is that a hand raise? You do not... I think it was a hand raise for him
Starting point is 01:51:07 and my hands are in my pockets. No, no, no. I didn't raise a hand. Let us be honest as Republicans. I'm the only person on the stage who isn't bought and paid for so I can say this. The climate change agenda
Starting point is 01:51:17 is a hoax. That's ridiculous. The climate change agenda is a hoax. The debate is a hoax as well. And the reality is the anti-carbon agenda is the wet blanket on our economy. And so the reality is more people are dying of bad climate change policies than they are of actual climate change. Governor Haley, are you bought in?
Starting point is 01:51:39 Hold on, hold on. Listen, listen, listen. Hold on, hold on. I've had enough. Wait, hold on, hold on. I've had enough. I've had enough already tonight of a guy who sounds like ChatGPT standing up here. And the last person in one of these debates, Brett,
Starting point is 01:51:58 who stood in the middle of the stage and said, what's a skinny guy with an odd last name doing up here was Barack Obama, and I'm afraid we're dealing with the same type of amateur standing on stage tonight. Give me a hug just like you did to Obama. And you'll help elect me just like you did to Obama too. Give me that same type of amateur. Hold on, hold on. Well, there you go. So did we get an answer? Did we get an answer? Did somebody say, grow up, kid.
Starting point is 01:52:28 You've been lied to in your schooling. There is no climate change, and it certainly isn't man-made. Prove it. The burden of proof is on the people who want to take everything away from us. Nobody wanted to say that. As a matter of fact, even though Pharma Swami got close to it, he said, you know, we've got a wet blanket over the economy and it's really bad and the policies are killing more people than climate change is killing people. Well, wait a minute.
Starting point is 01:52:52 Climate change is killing people? Seriously? And the response from DeSantis is even worse. A total non-response. It begins well by saying, hey, you know, let's not do this hand-raising nonsense. But, you know, Biden was on the beach. He wasn't helping people with this fire. So is he implying when he brings that up in the context of climate change?
Starting point is 01:53:18 Is he implying that the fire was climate change? That's the left-wing position. Doesn't he know it's directed energy weapons? No, doesn't he know that it's not, that the renewable energy, the lack of an infrastructure, money being spent on infrastructure to repair it, to cut down the shrubbery and all the rest of the stuff that becomes a fire hazard, they don't have the money or the time or the concern about doing that because they've got to march to the orders of the government telling them,
Starting point is 01:53:48 we've got renewable energy mandates and you've got to get solar and wind out there and you've got to get battery sites and all the rest of this stuff. That's what their concern was. It wasn't about safety. It wasn't about a decaying electrical grid that caught fire. It wasn't about any of that stuff. No, no, let's do more of that. Let's go chase our tails with renewable energy stuff,
Starting point is 01:54:07 and let's pander to liberal Fox News pushing climate change. How pathetic that is. And then she comes back and she says, so what do you say to your party and to your state, which today confirmed a six-week abortion law as well, especially the impact on women, He says, so what do you say to your party and to your state, which today confirmed a six-week abortion law as well, especially the impact on women and suburban voters in this country? So that's Martha McCaul, the Fox News person.
Starting point is 01:54:42 She is all in on the climate MacGuffin, just like Fox is all in on the pandemic MacGuffin, and she's all in on the climate MacGuffin, just like Fox was all in on the pandemic MacGuffin. And she's all in on abortion. She said abortion has been a losing issue for Republicans since the Dobbs decisions of McCollum and six state referendums all have upheld abortion rights in this country. Even in red States, there are more swing state referendum, uh, that are coming up as we head into the elections as well on this.
Starting point is 01:55:09 So she asked this to DeSantis. It was in your state that you did what Trump says is too harsh. Here's what he had to say. Well, I would say we sold the biggest election landslide victory in the history of the Republican Party in the state of Florida in 2022. That's what I did. We can win. But second of all, look, you've got to do what you think is right. I believe in a culture of life.
Starting point is 01:55:31 I was proud to sign the heartbeat bill. I remember one of the most impactful moments of my life was when I heard the heartbeat of my oldest daughter in my wife's womb and then saw the sonograms of all three of my kids. What the Democrats are trying to do on this issue is wrong, to allow abortion all the way up to the moment of birth. I know a lady in Florida named Penny. She survived multiple abortion attempts.
Starting point is 01:55:58 She was left discarded in a pan. Fortunately, her grandmother saved her and brought her to a different hospital. We're better than what the Democrats are selling. We are not going to allow abortion all the way up till birth, and we will hold them accountable for their extremism. But just to be clear, Governor, would you sign a six-week ban federally? I'm going to stand on the side of life. Look, I understand Wisconsin is going to do it different than Texas. I understand Iowa and New Hampshire are going to do different. But I will support the cause of life as governor and as president.
Starting point is 01:56:32 Hey, Sean Hannity here. Hey, click here to subscribe. Okay. That's Sean Hannity right there. Yeah, that is a very good answer. He did a great answer with that. And as a matter of fact, you notice that he's not saying we're going to federalize this thing. I think that's a big mistake. And that's something very good answer. He did a great answer with that. And as a matter of fact, you notice that he's not saying we're going to federalize this thing.
Starting point is 01:56:47 I think that's a big mistake, and that's something that Pence is pushing very hard to do. As I've said before, if you federalize it, you set that precedent, we know what's going to happen. They're going to bring back something even worse than Roe v. Wade. The Democrats will eventually get control, and they will set that bar as to when you are prohibited from aborting a baby, killing a baby, they'll set that right at birth or beyond. We know that's going to happen. And we also know that once they set that,
Starting point is 01:57:20 all of the Republican states will just go along with it. Well, if you were to set the bar lower than the Democrats won't, they will not go along with it. And there's no way that you're going to force that. And the federal government doesn't have the authority to do that. That's one of the reasons why the states are going to do what they want. But the conservative states, the pro-life states will follow the federal government and not question it at all. The liberal ones will say, no, we're not going to do that. We'll do what we want. That is a bad idea. It's being pushed by people who want that as a wedge issue, as a federal candidate, people like Pence, people like Lindsey Graham, people like Trump. They're the
Starting point is 01:57:59 ones who are pushing that because they want that football. They want that wedge issue. And you've got national abortion groups that want that wedge issue because otherwise they have no reason to exist, as I pointed out before. But it is a bad way. Now Pence wants to federalize it. He got in a back-and-forth discussion with Nikki Haley or Nuki Haley, and she says, we don't have 60 votes to do that. So, you know, it's a moot point really in the Senate.
Starting point is 01:58:31 And she's right about that. But then she couldn't stop there. She couldn't stop by being right and practical. She had to keep going. Can't we all agree, she said, that we're not going to put a woman in jail or give her the death penalty. Wow. Nobody's talking about that.
Starting point is 01:58:49 Nobody has ever talked about that. That's never been a part of any of these bills. You know, what a piece of nonsense that is. But you want to talk about giving a woman the death penalty? Kermit Gosnell did. And his shoddy, he was convicted of that in his shoddy abortion mill that he had running. He killed a woman. He was convicted of that.
Starting point is 01:59:12 But yeah, that's the little red herring that she's throwing out there. And then they got on to Ukraine support. And you had an interesting back and forth between Nikki Haley and Ramaswamy. And I'll play this for you when they're talking about support for Ukraine. Is there anyone on stage who would not support the increase of more funding to Ukraine?
Starting point is 01:59:39 I would not support it. The only one raising his hand is Ramaswamy. Mr. Ramaswamy. Mr. Ramaswamy, but you're saying you would not too, Governor DeSantis? I will have Europe pull their weight. Right now they're not doing that. And I think we need to do, and I think our support should be contingent on them doing it. And I would have support in China to be able to take China and do what we need to do with China. Mr. Ramaswamy, you would not support an increase of funding to Ukraine?
Starting point is 02:00:12 I would not. And I think that this is disastrous, that we are protecting against an invasion across somebody else's border when we should use those same military resources to prevent across the invasion of our own southern border here in the United States of America. We are driving Russia further into China's hands. The Russia-China alliance is the single greatest threat we face. And I find it offensive that we have professional politicians on the stage that will make a pilgrimage to Kiev to their Pope, Zelensky, without doing the same thing for people in Maui or the south side of Chicago or Kensington. I think that we have to put the interests of Americans first. Secure our own border instead of somebody else's.
Starting point is 02:00:53 And the reality is this is also how we project strength by making America strong at home. Pence is trying to get in there. He's talking about warmongers. He's talking about me. He's talking about people who will give them unlimited amounts of money, people like me who are not concerned about Americans. Come on, I get a chance to jump in here and tell people how I don't care about America.
Starting point is 02:01:19 I'm going to put foreign policy first, the American empire first. And so he got in a back and forth as well with Nikki Haley. But when we talk about Hawaii versus Ukraine, RFK Jr. had an interesting post. He said this. He said, President Biden just offered a $700 payment per household to Maui residents. He is also at the same time asking for $25 billion more for Ukraine. Let's do a little bit of math here.
Starting point is 02:01:47 He says there is about 50,000 households in Maui. $25 billion adds up to about a half a million dollars per household, $500,000 per household. That gives you some idea of what this nation is sacrificing to fund the war machine. That's very important. Instead of them, you know, you take that $25 billion that you're going to give to Ukraine and you give it, split it equally with the people of Maui, that would work out to $500,000.
Starting point is 02:02:16 Instead, he's going to give them $700. $700. Pretty amazing. dollars 700 pretty amazing and so then uh haley jumps in and talks about how we got to do everything that we can to keep the war in ukraine going and um you know now ukraine is the first line of defense against putin and all the rest of this nonsense what a shill she is it's hard to tell whether nuki haley or mike pensive uh or the bigger warmongers on stage but everybody there except for ramaswami it's fine about continuing to focus on the slaughter of ukrainians and russians and how much money can we pour into that uh even ron desantis well you know, we got to get Europe to carry their
Starting point is 02:03:05 weight, that type of thing. What a weak, pathetic position. Is it right or wrong, Ron? I mean, seriously, is the war in Ukraine right or is it wrong? And what are our standards with that? As I've said before, we have a war should be justified. We should have a vote in Congress up or down. I'm afraid I know which way they would go though. But anyway, so as she starts to debate Ramaswami, he says to Nuki Haley, well, I wish you well in your future career on the board of Lockheed and Raytheon. I'm not on the board of Lockheed and Raytheon. No, she's on the board of Boeing, or was. Boeing, she made $256,000 as a member of Boeing's board of directors.
Starting point is 02:03:57 Boeing is already the second largest beneficiary of Defense Department contracts, writes John Binder at Breitbart. In 2017, Boeing noted that about 79% of its profits came from government contracts with the U.S. federal government. Boeing saved about $1.1 billion thanks to tax cuts, while simultaneously laying off 6,000 American workers in Washington state alone. A 2019 report detailed how Boeing outsourced American software jobs to mostly Indian foreign graduates for $9 an hour. You see, there's something here that Nikki Haley and Ramaswamy could agree on. Because Ramaswamy and Musk agreed on the fact that we need to bring in H-1B visa workers
Starting point is 02:04:45 or outsource our stuff to India or to anywhere else. These Americans are just making too much money. Come on. Ramaswamy and Musk need to win, and that means that you Americans are just going to have to suck it up. And so that's something on which they can agree. In June of 2019, reports stated that Boeing's problems with its 737 MAX fleet coincided with executives outsourcing U.S. software jobs to foreign workers through HCL Technologies, an India-based outsourcing firm. John Binder at Breitbart continues, he says, in 2018, Boeing executives announced their plans
Starting point is 02:05:30 to outsource a manufacturing plant to India where 3,000 Indian workers would be employed as they're cutting American jobs by thousands and thousands. And the American government continues to buy from them. American government isn't really buying American, is it? As Haley has continued to voice her support for Ukraine, the Heritage Foundation has released an ad detailing how the current $113 billion in aid in Ukraine
Starting point is 02:05:57 costs us $900 per household. Well, that puts all that rest of that stuff in kind of an interesting light. RFK Jr. points out Biden is going to give the people in hawaii 700 but it already cost them 900 for what he's already sent to ukraine and now he's going to do another 25 billion which if he were to take that money and split it with the people there in hawaii they'd get 500 000 but they're not going to get that instead they're going to be uh everybody else is having to pay about a thousand dollars per
Starting point is 02:06:28 household, all of us. But you know, the, uh, people in, um, Hawaii get 700 of that back. That's the, uh, Democrats policies with that. It's truly amazing. So, um, uh, again, uh, when we look at what at what RFK Jr. had to say, I thought it was very important. Before I get any further in this, I want to just respond on Rockfin. Mr. Goldfold, thank you very much for the tip. When we were talking before about Christian persecution in Pakistan, he said, did you say Pakistan?
Starting point is 02:07:05 Did you know where grifter Mike Lindell, yes, the very Christian Mike Lindell, makes the bulk of his dreck is made in Pakistan. Worst place on earth to live as a Christian or a Jew. I say perhaps even as a Hindu, right? But yeah, that's it. Yeah, so, you know, let's make some money. I don't care where I do it, right?
Starting point is 02:07:26 And that's what I was just saying about Elon Musk and Ramaswamy. These people have become extremely rich. They don't care what they do. And this has always been the argument going back to the globalism in terms of the trade stuff. Well, you know, let's let the Chinese slave labor make, you're going to get some stuff really cheap at Walmart. Let's just do this open trade thing. We can outsource our jobs to them
Starting point is 02:07:50 and our manufacturing to them. And then what happens? Well, we become these Eloi and the Morlocks are getting bigger and bigger and stronger and stronger. But we don't know how to do anything anymore. We don't make anything here anymore. We've outsourced it all to China.
Starting point is 02:08:06 So yeah, great. Let's do even more of it, according to Ramaswami. That's what he would like to do. That's why I say he's such a mixed bag. And he truly is a gadfly. And he did, according to most of the polls, most of the people said that he won the debate. Because all this is,
Starting point is 02:08:26 is a bunch of sound bites and barbs and all the rest of the stuff. He's perfect at this. He's a very chatty person. That's why, you know, Chris Christie said, I've had about enough of this chat GPT guy over here. This really is the way that he comes across. And he had one of his little sound bites that he had prepared. I know you're all wondering who this skinny guy with a funny last name is. He said that before Chris Christie attacked him on it. He says, so you're throwing that stuff out to us? You're putting yourself in the position of Obama? And then immediately, because he has such a great gadfly,
Starting point is 02:09:02 he comes back and he goes, well, why don't you just give me a hug and you can help me get elected like you helped Obama get elected. See, that's what the debate was about. It wasn't about anything serious. Anybody want to talk about this farmer who's having everything taken from him? Anybody want to talk about the fires
Starting point is 02:09:16 where they're burning everybody out? Where they're killing people? Anybody want to talk about what was done to us throughout 2020? Nah, I'm not going to talk about that. We'll have the sparring back and forth. And so, as a matter of fact, though, there's a back and forth between Ramaswamy and Pence as well. You got people on this stage that won't even talk about issues like Social Security and Medicare. Vivek, you recently said a president can't do everything. Well, I got news for you, Vivek.
Starting point is 02:09:46 I've been in the hallway. I've been in the West Wing. A president of the United States has to confront every crisis facing America. I will put our nation back on the path to growth and prosperity and restore fiscal responsibility, just as I did in Congress and as governor and when I was vice president. But you were named earlier. I'm going to give Vivek first. This isn't that complicated, guys. Unlock American energy, drill, frack, burn coal, embrace nuclear, put people back to work by no longer paying them more to stay at home,
Starting point is 02:10:22 reform the U.S. Fed,ize the U.S. dollar. And go to war. The only war that I will declare as U.S. President will be the war on the federal administrative state that is the source of those toxic regulations acting like a wet blanket on the economy. So, I'm not sure I exactly understood Mike Pence's comment,
Starting point is 02:10:40 but I'll let you all parse that out. For me, it's pretty simple. That's something a U.S. President can do with focus, and I'll deliver on it. Well, let me explain it to you. Let me explain it to you. Yeah, yeah, back and forth. And so everybody was really engaging Ramaswamy because he was the one who could think on his feet quickly. But yeah, let's parse some of this stuff out. Just like before, his answers started to sound pretty good with the climate stuff, but then he says, you know, the policies have killed more people than climate change has.
Starting point is 02:11:08 Really? I wasn't aware of anybody that died of climate change. And then he says, and then I want to reform the Fed. Reform the Fed? Not end the Fed? Not audit the Fed? Let's reform it or whatever. I mean, there's all these different issues there.
Starting point is 02:11:23 But the bigger issues that are there, how did he get his money? He's a pharmaceutical guy and he's not a scientist. He's a grifter. He's a Martin Shkreli. He partnered with Martin Shkreli and he wants the Trans-Pacific Partnership back. He wants to, and remember that Trans-Pacific Partnership was something that was going to take control of our trade away from us and turn it over to a, you know, under a so-pretend treaty. It's going to turn that decision over to an arbitrator who is going to dictate stuff to us, just like they've been dictating stuff to us with NAFTA
Starting point is 02:12:06 and are dictating stuff to us with USMCA. That is a horrible thing. And so he's kind of a mixed bag on a lot of these things, as they all are. But it really was about going back and forth over these different issues. And then they turned to Trump. They're asked yet again to raise their hands if they would support Donald Trump as nominee. Now, this time, DeSantis did not push back and say, we're not school kids. And it was kind of interesting what happens.
Starting point is 02:12:41 You'll see that Ramaswamy immediately shoots his arm up. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. And then other arms start to slowly go up, and DeSantis is like looking around his left and to his right. Eventually, he puts his arm up. Chris Christie and Asa Hutchinson, who are on the other side, they're looking the whole time at this. And finally, Chris Christie raises his hand, christie raises his hand and and pence raises his hand finally uh but you know one of the things that you see about this ramaswamy is not going to say anything negative about trump he is really grooming himself just like up to trump he wants a vp position i really do believe and so um here is uh the question And you can see the response for yourself. You all signed a pledge to support the eventual Republican nominee.
Starting point is 02:13:30 If former President Trump is convicted in a court of law, would you still support him as your party's choice? Please raise your hand if you would. President Trump, I believe, was the best president of the 21st century are you kidding me and chris christie honest to god what a suck up claim that donald trump is motivated by vengeance and grievance would be a lot more credible if your entire campaign were not based on vengeance and grievance against one man. And if people at home want to see a bunch of people blindly bashing Donald Trump without an iota of vision for this country, they could just change the channel to MSNBC right now. But I'm not running for president of MSNBC.
Starting point is 02:14:18 I am running for president of the United States. We're skating on thin ice, and we cannot set a precedent where the party in power uses police force to indict its political opponents. It is wrong. We have to end the reputization of justice in this country. 30 seconds, Governor DeSantis.
Starting point is 02:14:34 No, I'm sorry. 30 seconds, Governor DeSantis. You make me laugh because you sit here in an answer you sit here in an answer right now. You sit here in an answer. You sit here in an answer. Right? Hold on a second. You sit here in an answer.
Starting point is 02:14:53 Go ahead. Yeah, yeah. You understand who the winner of the debate is. It's Trump. They love Trump. And Ramaswamy comes in close second to be VP because he's an endless suck-up to Trump. Pathetic. Absolutely pathetic what he's saying there.
Starting point is 02:15:14 Look, I agree about the weaponization of the justice system. But, you know, when we look at this, it is it is, uh, I don't know what it is about Brett bear. It was the very first debate of the 2016 election cycle and Brett bear, the very first question, he was a moderator of that one as well. His very first question is now, will you vote for the other guys, all this loyalty pledge and all the rest of this stuff, which is has given Trump an excuse not to go on stage and to get out of the debate.
Starting point is 02:15:48 It's a get-out-of-debate free card is basically what somebody in the RNC gave him. And I can understand why they would do that. I mean, he gave them a lot of the money that he grifted from his sheep in his Save America thing. He got $250 million, and he gave them a big cut. Again, the first $8,000 that anybody gave to his save america thing uh would go to him and a cut goes to the rnc so i'm sure that they understand why and if there's anything left over be anything above eight thousand dollars uh then that would go to pay for investigation of the election that he claimed was stolen,
Starting point is 02:16:26 which they never produced any receipts for. So I can understand why the RNC would do him a favor and say, well, we're going to put a loyalty pledge in here. And of course, we know that you're not going to sign it. And so that'll give you an out from having to go to the debates. And again, Brett Baer brings it up again in this one. Well, now you've all signed that loyalty pledge. Do you really mean it? And the only one who didn't raise his hand was Asa Hutchinson.
Starting point is 02:16:51 Even Chris Christie sheepishly raises his hand. Mike Pence raises his hand. And so later on, you know, as part of this, you hear Christie trying to say something and just getting shouted down by the crowd because uh you know donald trump owns the republican party right now that's why nothing good is going to come out of this election later on christy had this to say here's the here's the bottom line someone's got to stop normalizing this conduct okay now no they like that conduct now whether or not whether or not you believe that the criminal charges are right or wrong the conduct is beneath the office of president of the united states And, you know, this is the great thing about this country.
Starting point is 02:17:50 Booing is allowed, but it doesn't change the truth. It doesn't change the truth. Oh, there you go. Kind of reminds me of Rand Paul when he was booed for opposing war by the Republican Party. I mean, they just don't want to hear the truth many times. And then Asa Hutchinson called Trump's candidacy, quote, an important issue that we as a party have to face. He said Trump was, quote, morally disqualified from being president again. Based on what? Well, he may be disqualified, he said, also under the 14th Amendment as a result of the
Starting point is 02:18:30 insurrection, quote unquote, at the Capitol on January the 6th. Asa Hutchinson cannot think or speak critically. Everything about that was morally disqualified. What is his basis for that? He doesn't explain it. I mean, is it the conduct? Is it the name-calling that Christie was specific about? But then to say, as a result of the insurrection, nobody has proven an insurrection.
Starting point is 02:19:01 That has been an allegation, unproven. He wasn't impeached. As a matter of fact, it's going to be one of the key defenses, is that, well, you know, this is all brought up. His conduct was brought up and they failed to convict him in the house with the Democrats. And so none of this stuff that you're charging him with in Georgia should be an issue here. That's what a lot of people say is going to be the line of defense or should be the line of defense. And so he wasn't, you know, proved, first of all, proved that it was an insurrection. It wasn't. But Asa Hutchinson says that it was. And then secondly, you got to tie
Starting point is 02:19:36 him to it. I mean, there's just nothing about that statement made any sense at all. But of course, Asa Hutchinson doesn't make any sense, really. One thing that they did talk about was the $8 trillion that was Nikki Haley's high spot. And it was the closest that anybody came to talking about the lockdown, the PPP, the massive wealth transfer from the middle class to the richest people in the country. It was the closest that anybody came to talking about the warp speed grift, giving that money to pharmaceutical companies and all the rest of this stuff. It's the closest anybody came to talking about the hospitals being turned into hired killers. Nobody else said anything about that.
Starting point is 02:20:21 And so it came at a point in time where Martha McCollum talking about Rama Swami's lead over Nikki Haley in the polls, Haley teed off on elected Republicans for their role in spending taxpayer dollars and driving inflation. She said, well, I don't care about the polls. What I care about is the fact that no one is telling the American people the truth. She said, the truth, she said. The truth is that Biden didn't do this to us. Our Republicans did this to us. When they passed that $2.2 trillion COVID stimulus bill, they left us with 90 million people on Medicaid, 42 million people
Starting point is 02:20:58 on food stamps. No one had told you how to fix it. I'll tell you how to fix it. They need to stop the spending. They need to stop the borrowing. They need to eliminate the earmarks that Republicans brought back in. They need to make sure that they understand these are taxpayer dollars. It's not their dollars. And while they're all saying this, you have Ron DeSantis, you've got Tim Scott, you've got Mike Pence. They all voted to raise the debt. And Donald Trump added $8 trillion to our debt and our kids are never going to forgive
Starting point is 02:21:27 us for this. And so at the end of the day, you look at the 2024 budget, Republicans asked for $7.1 billion in earmarks, Democrats asked for $2.8 billion. So you tell me, who are the big spenders? I think it's time for an accountant in the White House, she said. Well, that takes us to the Twitter-Tucker-Trump issue that we have here. And as I said, no important issues really talked about, but I did think it was kind of interesting that Twitter, or X if you want to call it that now, that's what Elon Musk wants to call it,
Starting point is 02:22:05 I think it's kind of interesting that X suspended the DeSantis Political Action Committee, the DeSantis PAC. They suspended their account just hours before the debate. DeSantis allies speculated that pro-Trump accounts had engaged in mass reporting. And this is the type of stuff we've seen going back to, I think it was March, when that's really the beginning of DeSantis going down in the polls
Starting point is 02:22:37 because the Trump campaign focused everything on DeSantis. And after the debate, you had Junior attacking DeSantis. And after the debate, you had, um, junior, uh, attacking, uh, DeSantis as well. Yeah. That's the only thing he had to say. DeSantis bad, that type of stuff. And it was when you had the, um, um, Alvin Bragg, the Manhattan Soros district attorney, when he was, um, uh, putting out the charges against Trump. And, um, DeSantis was running at, at called a press conference to talk about big brother, digital money, CBDC had banners and all the rest of the stuff. He gave the presentation about what he was doing to oppose it in Florida. First question is, but what about Trump?
Starting point is 02:23:22 And what about men? You know, and he's like, look, you know, I'm not going to extradite him if they try to extradite him and everything. But then they turn it into he wants to put Trump into jail. And it was done by this endless trolling and memes and things like that on Twitter. So this is what really the Trump campaign is doing. It's very interesting uh they suspended x suspended the account of desantis's main supporting pack on wednesday just hours before the election the never back down packs account was suspended early wednesday morning according to the organization's
Starting point is 02:23:58 strategic communications director x did not immediately respond to the request for a clarification from Fox News, though they speculated that pro-Trump accounts engaged in mass reporting against the account. They said, X says that it seems like our automated systems incorrectly picked it up as spam. And so this massive attack, perhaps organized by Trump supporters, caused the automated system at X to suspend its account. We've asked X to tell us who exactly reported Never Back Down as spam, they said. He included screenshots of several ex-accounts that were allied with Trump celebrating the suspension of Never Back Down. He said, given their celebration, we've asked X and Elon Musk to disclose whether these Trump-backed accounts and their affiliated bot network have recently engaged in mass reporting
Starting point is 02:25:05 against Never Back Down account in order to manipulate X's rules. No. So Trump is engaging and his people are engaging in election manipulation, what they accuse the Democrats of doing. As a matter of fact, Trump says we're going to do better fraud than the Democrats this next time. I think they've already started. What a grifting crook he is.
Starting point is 02:25:27 Just hours before the first GOP presidential primary was to begin, they did that, and a comment from Christina Pouchard, who's with the DeSantis campaign, she said, this is beyond parody. The same trolls who cry nonstop when they're censored on social media are cheering for their opponents to be censored on social media. This is a well-worn left liberal tactic. When you can't defeat your opponents in a debate, you hide in the basement and you try to silence your opponents. If it's true that Republicans are doing this now, shame on them. Well, shame on them
Starting point is 02:26:06 if they are going to do all the ballot harvesting and everything else. And remember, as much as Trump may complain about the election, it was his rules. And he did complain about that. He constantly talked about himself and about the election of 2020, nothing else about 2020. And he talked about himself and about the election of 2020, nothing else about 2020. And he talked about how COVID was used against him, but he doesn't talk about how he used COVID against us. He doesn't talk about how he was the one who set up the rules for the lockdown election that we still have. Even though we're not locked down, they're going to, even if they don't try to go through and bring back the gulag again, they will still use these rules. They're going to carry them forward to all the elections.
Starting point is 02:26:54 They did it to the one last fall as well. Still going to have these Trump mail-out ballot elections. Never back down confirmed that it has regained access to his account, but said it was asking Musk and X to offer more details about the cause of the suspension. So, again, you know, when we look at Pence and January the 6th. Pence said that he agreed with the Republican candidates rather agreed with Pence's actions. They asked them, you know,
Starting point is 02:27:32 what do you think about what he did on January the 6th? And you had in terms of certification of Biden's election, Tim Scott, Senator Tim Scott said, absolutely agree with him. Ron DeSantis didn't immediately answer the question. He said, we've got to look forward. But under pressure from both Pence and the moderators, he ultimately said, Mike did his duty.
Starting point is 02:27:56 I've got no beef with him. To which Pence sarcastically replied, well, I'm relieved. Former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie leapt to Pence's defense, saying he deserves not grudging credit, he deserves our thanks as Americans. Nikki Haley agreed that Pence did the right thing and deserves credit, as did North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum. Who's missing there? The suck-up. Pharma swami. Three weeks ago, he said he's not going to engage in that. I couldn't find what his response was. This was something that's curated as a moment here by the AP. So they didn't mention Rama Swami's response to that. And I'm imagining since just three weeks ago. He wasn't going to comment on Pence and on Trump on January the 6th.
Starting point is 02:28:49 I imagine that's still the case. So let's take a little bit of a look at what happened in the Tucker and Trump Twitter thing. We're going to take a quick break, and when we come back, we're going to take a look at that. We'll be right back using free speech to free minds it's the David Knight Show. As I said before, it's kind of, I think, the most interesting thing about the Tucker-Trump interview was what they did not talk about. They talked about the election.
Starting point is 02:29:37 They talked about Trump. They did have a couple of interesting quotes that I have here. But here's some of the things that were not mentioned at all by Tucker or by Trump. The vaccine was never discussed. I never say anything about warp anything. I look for warp, nothing about warp, nothing about lock or lockdown, nothing about mask, nothing about distancing, social distancing or anything else. Nothing about businesses being closed. Closed is not found. And he doesn't want to talk about what he closed. He doesn't want to talk about the pandemic.
Starting point is 02:30:13 The word pandemic never appeared in the one-hour interview. Isn't that strange? I mean, when you're going back and you look at it, that doesn't appear. He does mention COVID a couple of times. And I'll tell you what he had to say about COVID. But not the pandemic. There's nothing said about the lab. There's nothing said about Fauci. There's nothing said about the NIH or the FDA or the CDC.
Starting point is 02:30:36 As a matter of fact, when we look at the key words that Trump and Tucker were using, impeach, election, bad, president, great, indicted, votes, bar. He talked a lot about bar. And interestingly, they had a back and forth that went on for quite some time about Jeffrey Epstein. And Tucker wanted to talk about Jeffrey Epstein. Trump didn't want to talk about it, you know, and didn't want to talk about, you know, he was at all your parties and stuff, or you flew on the plane with him. No, no, no. Tucker didn't want to talk
Starting point is 02:31:15 about Jeffrey Epstein in that context. Before the night, Jeffrey Epstein was killed and Trump was very reluctant to talk about it. Well, I don't know. It could have happened. I don't know. Maybe. I don't know. But yeah, he died, I think. But then as soon as they start talking about it, Trump redirects the conversation to William Barr. And then Tucker keeps coming back to Jeffrey Epstein's death. Not about what Jeffrey Epstein did to people. Not about the flights, not about the friendship, none of that stuff. And only, and again, Trump only wants to talk about Bill Barr. China, Chris Wallace is one of the key words that came up a lot. He really doesn't like Chris Wallace. And then corrupt. So that kind of gives you an idea of what was being discussed.
Starting point is 02:32:06 Instead of talking about the pandemic or warp speed or lockdowns or masks or vaccines or any of that kind of stuff, he did use the term COVID a couple of times. It had about four occurrences of that word, I think. And Trump said this. He said they used COVID to cheat. They used COVID. And they cheated him with COVID. Wow.
Starting point is 02:32:28 And a lot of different things. And we have so much on it. It's like so easy, but we had judges that didn't want to look and we had people didn't want to get involved. He said, they call you a conspiracy theorist. If you say anything about the election. That's typical of the nonsense in this Tucker quote-unquote interview. So, you know, he continues on with it. We should go back to all paper ballots, voter IDs, same-day voting, you know.
Starting point is 02:32:56 France had mail-in ballots, and it was terrible. Anytime you have mail-in ballots, you're going to have massive cheating on your elections anytime. Not just the presidential election, anytime you have that, the whole point on your elections. Anytime, not just a presidential election. Anytime you have that, the whole point of them. So again, it's always election,
Starting point is 02:33:10 election, election. The only thing that Trump cares about the whole COVID thing, does he care about what he did to people? Does he care about the lockdown, the massive transfer of wealth from middle-class to the Uber rich, even with his PPP plan, the payroll protection plan, more than 50% of the money going to the 5% of the biggest companies.
Starting point is 02:33:31 Does he care about any of that? No, no. How did the pandemic affect me? Well, it affected you, Trump, because you created the mail-in election that you now criticize. You were the one who created that. How dare him criticize his Frankenstein election? You made this creature, and we're stuck with it now. Whether there's a pandemic or not, we're stuck with this thing. He's the one who did that. It was a sham pandemic when he turned the country over to Fauci. But all he cares about is how it affected him.
Starting point is 02:34:09 And then when he starts talking about, you have Tucker ask him about the FBI. And he also asked him, you know, how do you keep the FBI and the CIA specifically? How do you keep it under control? And Trump says, well, the way you do it. He says, I fired Fauci, though. It's a big deal. I fired him. I know a lot of people sit down and fight him very early.
Starting point is 02:34:36 So it was like, oh, I wish you would have fired him. There was a real question about firing him anyway. You understand? Because, you know, when they have a 10-year term, there's a question. I fired Comey. That was a great thing. You were asked by your own supporters to fire Fauci, but you didn't do it. You gave him a medal on his last day for running warp speed.
Starting point is 02:34:59 And so one thing that was surprising about it was that he did talk a lot about the impracticality of EVs, electric vehicles, and about windmills and what they're doing to the power grid. He talked a good bit about that. He's not going to, though, directly oppose climate change. None of them are. They're going to leave us at the mercy of these liars and alarmists talking about climate change killing everybody. They will look at it and like, you know, Trump says, well, I think anybody ought to be able to drive anything that they want, you know, and if you've got enough infrastructure for this, he doesn't say, you know, what is really at the core of all of this.
Starting point is 02:35:46 He leaves all of that. But let me just play for you the clip where he's talking about the CIA with Tucker Carlson. So when you were president, are you confident that you knew everything, say, CIA was doing around the world? No, I'm not. I'm not. It's a very interesting group of people. I had very good relationships, I thought, but I was a little surprised when I got out that, you know, things go on. Look, it's a... What were you surprised by? I was surprised, I think, at some of the people. I was surprised that there was... I had a group of people, we killed many using the CIA, I have to say this,
Starting point is 02:36:27 bad, very bad actors. We were very good at it. You look at Soleimani, you look at al-Baghdadi, bigger than Osama bin Laden. I mean, Osama bin Laden, but al-Baghdadi did ISIS and he was rebuilding ISIS very strongly. And that was the CIA that did that. That was really us that did that. That was really us that did that. And Soleimani was us that did that, not so much CIA. But we did some very good work with the CIA. Yeah, very much like Obama.
Starting point is 02:37:04 Remember when Obama said, yeah, drone assassination. We're really good at it. Yeah, same thing um yeah it's the cia who's doing this but yeah i'll take the credit for it let me take the credit for the assassinations and things like that you know that was the thing yesterday all of the press both alternative and mainstream is talking about this assassination uh apparently of Pergozan, the guy who was heading the Wagner group. Some people say, well, maybe that was fake. Maybe he had multiple planes.
Starting point is 02:37:32 There was another plane that was out there zigzagging at the same time that also belonged to him. Maybe he escaped or whatever. It's going back and forth. Did he have a body double? Did he do this or did he do that? And, of course, the mainstream media in the United States wants to focus on that a great deal because that's a way that they can attack Putin for assassinating his enemies.
Starting point is 02:37:53 But we have presidents who brag about that as well. Obama bragged about his assassinations. Trump is bragging about his assassinations here. But I think more than that, it was his sheepish relationship there with the CIA. You want to understand how the CIA controls these people? Just look at that clip. Well, you know, we had some really good relations. I really liked the CIA guys there.
Starting point is 02:38:17 I was surprised that some of them didn't like me as much. You know, I could have said I promoted the woman who lied us into the war in Iraq based on torture that she then covered up. I thought they liked me. And then they did this stuff to me. I put Bill Barr in there. Look at what Bill Barr did. He's really upset with Bill Barr.
Starting point is 02:38:36 But yeah, I thought I had a good relationship with the CIA. So they did all this stuff. Well, no, actually, I don't want to accuse them of murder. They might actually kill me. Besides, I want to take a credit for all of this mayhem and chaos around the world. Not ashamed of it at all. Not ashamed. They want the credit for it. We're going to take a quick break and we'll be right back. The common man. They created common core to dumb down our children. They created common past to track and control us.
Starting point is 02:39:19 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.
Starting point is 02:39:53 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. Thank you for sharing. If you can't support us financially, please keep us in your prayers. thedavidknightshow.com Well, we need adult supervision. That's the quote.
Starting point is 02:40:39 Was it somebody talking about the debates and the interviews? No, no. Actually, they were talking about yet another major credit agency has downgraded us banks. We're starting to get echoes of 2007. We go back to 2007. You had some of the guys who were right about the real estate bubble, the big short guy and others who said, I can't believe that they haven't downgraded these things. Look, they're going belly up, and we've got these securitized garbage things that we've mixed all this stuff together with, and it's junk.
Starting point is 02:41:14 And even though a large percentage of these things are going belly up, they won't downgrade this stuff, and there's no real supervision of this. Well, now it is starting to happen with the banks. It eventually does. It's been this way for a while. And of course, a lot of this stuff is the fault of the Federal Reserve that raised interest rates so rapidly that it was very difficult for the banks to try to cover themselves with the Federal Reserve notes that they had bought into at a lower interest rate. So this is a real trap that was set for them by the Federal Reserve,
Starting point is 02:41:45 but it's also the commercial real estate trap that is happening. And that really goes back to the lockdown. And isn't it interesting that this was not talked about either? No aspect of the only thing that even tangentially goes back to what happened in 2020 to set us up for financial failure. The only thing that was talked about with that was what Nikki Haley said, about $8 trillion of debt because of that stuff. Nobody talked about the commercial real estate collapse that is rolling out on us right now.
Starting point is 02:42:21 Nothing about that. A major U.S. credit agency cut the rating of multiple banks following a string of credit rating cuts due to factors like higher interest rates, according to announcement from S&P Global, Standard & Poor Global. One of the three major U.S. credit agencies revised its ratings down for five regional U.S. banks after reviewing the risk related to funding, liquidity, and asset quality. Moody's, another top credit agency, cut its ratings for 10 U.S. banks earlier this month. So two of the three have cut them. One of them earlier did it for 10.
Starting point is 02:42:57 S&P Global did it for five of them. The agency noted that reasons for the struggling bank sector were the Federal Reserve's efforts to fight inflation by raising interest rates 11 times in a row since March of 2022. Wow. Same thing happened in 2007. They got everybody roped into the real estate market with these super low interest rates. And if you look at the Fed rate, it was like a little stair step. It was like every month it's going up a quarter of a percent. And it was the same thing. Another, another, uh, 25 basis points every month it was going up until the market popped. And now this time around it was
Starting point is 02:43:41 a little bit different. The frequency was about the same, but they had much bigger jumps. They were going up three times, two to three times. Each increment was two to three times what had been done before when they popped the market. So they went up much more rapidly, creating a big issue for the economy in general and for the banks in particular. And Shark Tank star Kevin O'Leary said that the commercial real estate difficulties could lead to a real run on regional banks when interest on commercial real estate loans increases. This is what Gerald Slunty has been talking about for a couple of years now. And again, pointing out,
Starting point is 02:44:29 same thing that Gerald has said. Again, if you want to subscribe to Trends Journal, trendsjournal.com, use the code KNIGHT, and you can get 10% off of Gerald's publication. But this guy O'Leary is talking to Larry Kudlow. He said, now you're starting to see the chips start to fall. The reading is as follows. The regionals are not yet known. They don't know yet what their capital requirements are going to be. So their loan books
Starting point is 02:44:56 have closed like a turtle in a shell. At the same time, 40% of their balance sheets, the majority of them, are in commercial real estate. Those turn in 24 to 36 months. They were financed at 5 to 6%. They will now be 8, 9, 10, 11%, depending on the risk of the building. And that's going to cause a real run again on these banks. Same type of thing that we saw with residential real estate. Now they're doing it with big commercial real estate this time around. And that is, you had a lot of people who jumped in, they got super low financing. And then they, when the interest rates were down,
Starting point is 02:45:37 they jumped in and got them even lower with variable rate interests that a lot of people jumped in and got multiple properties, decided that they were going to flip them, that type of thing. And then all of a sudden, the interest rates start going up very rapidly, and they can't handle the increased charge, and there's no buyers out there. And the same thing now is happening exactly again
Starting point is 02:46:01 with commercial real estate. And so, yeah, we need to have some adults out there. O'Leary noted during a March appearance on Tucker that people are already moving to the larger banks due to the failures of these banks, Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank and so forth, and First Republic. So this is really a double whammy.
Starting point is 02:46:30 And it is very bad news for small and medium-sized banks. And it is part of the massive consolidation. These too-big-to-fail banks will be bailed out. People saw that when it happened in 2007, 2008. And so they want to get their money in those banks. And that's only going to drive more and more banks out of business. You know, the smaller regional banks didn't get help and they went out of business. And so as all of this is happening, you have the BRICS meeting as well. Tomorrow, you're going to have the Federal Reserve and Powell are going to be meeting in picturesque
Starting point is 02:47:03 Jackson Hole. And I guess, responding to what's going on with the BRICS. So far, nothing really has happened that had been kind of rumored to happen at the BRICS, the Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa. And now, dozens of other nations wanting to de-dollarize, wanting to do trades in their currencies with people instead of having to convert everything to the dollar. The biggest announcement that happened in the BRICS meeting was the fact that Xi Jinping did not deliver a speech.
Starting point is 02:47:41 Very strange. Created a lot of speculation about his health because it was such a big deal. I mean, they never miss an opportunity to grandstand like this. So Xi Jinping unexpectedly skipped a scheduled speech. He handed it off to somebody, a subordinate, the commerce minister, who read the speech. Xi later attended a summit dinner. No reason was given for him missing the speech. So he was there. Everybody was there except for Putin.
Starting point is 02:48:11 Putin is doing it like over Zoom or whatever he's using. He's doing it remotely because he doesn't want to get arrested internationally. There's all these warrants out for his arrest everywhere. But everybody else was there in person, and was there she was there but she said nothing i'm just waiting for somebody to ask him his pronouns um i think we should call him x xi or we should call him just 11 don't you think uh popular newsletter about chinese affairs noted that there had been a long period this month without any public appearance by she or by 11 which seemed a bit strange he said to say that his absence is extraordinary is an understatement as chinese leaders never miss
Starting point is 02:48:58 highly choreographed events like this and so the speech which was delivered that he was going to do, but was given by his commerce minister, attacked the U.S., describing an unnamed country as, quote, obsessed with maintaining hegemony and has gone out of its way to cripple the emerging markets in the developing countries. And of course, we all know who that would be. The BRICS countries represent about 40% of the world's population and a quarter of the global GDP. Leaders of all the members, nations, except for Putin, attended in person. It was attended by representatives of dozens of other countries as well. Again, there was an expectation, however,
Starting point is 02:49:44 that it was going to be more than de-dollarization. There was an expectation that perhaps they were going to introduce a currency and that that currency might even be gold-backed. Then there were contradictions. That announcement, I believe, was made by somebody in Russia. And then I think it was in South Africa that they subsequently came out and said, no, it's not going to be a gold-backed currency. But people were still wondering what it was going to be, if that was going to be something that would be there. Looks like that is not going to happen.
Starting point is 02:50:14 Putin, when he gave his speech remotely, he talked about de-dollarization, and he said that it was irreversible. He said that de-dollarization is gaining momentum. It is, unfortunately. The dollar's receding global centrality is a quote, objective and irreversible process.
Starting point is 02:50:36 But he struck an optimistic tone about what they could do. He said the cumulative share of global GDP of these groups of Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa, and so forth. He said, if measured by purchasing power, it now accounts for 31% compared to the 30% of purchasing power of the G7.
Starting point is 02:51:00 So they found by one metric that they could look better than the G7, the Western nations. He also took a swipe at the U.S. and the West's, quote, illegitimate sanctions, the unlawful freezing of sovereign states' assets. And this more than what, you know, it isn't that Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa are doing so great. It's that Biden has basically shot the dollar in the foot with these sanctions, along with creating massive inflation with energy. China will push the block of emerging markets to become full-scale rival to G7. There's disagreement about that as well, though. So there's disagreement about it being a currency, and it's not on the agenda, creating a currency, let alone having a currency that is gold-backed. And so some of them want to essentially have competition with the G7. That's being pushed by China. Others are pushing back against that. However, Saudi Arabia and UAE are likely to be added as members.
Starting point is 02:52:10 Again, it is the destruction of the petrodollar that is being accomplished by Joe Biden. And if you go back and you look at the rise of the BRICS, the one metric where they have now surpassed the G7 is in terms of purchasing power. And so if you look at how this has been historically, in 1995, you had 45% was coming from the G7, 45% of global GDP purchasing power. 45% of it was the G7, and the BRICS were just 17%. So it was 45 to 17 then.
Starting point is 02:52:51 Now it has gone to 32 and 30 by 2023. Actually, 32.1 and 29.9. So again, there's no news about any of that, but again, it is the economic decline, the hegemonic decline that they're talking about, and that has been precipitated by Biden, who is doing all of this. He gets full credit for that. By the way, if you want to protect yourself, when we come back, we're going to talk about ID. We're going to talk about Gates and his machinations about ID. And so when we come back, we're going to talk about that. I think still
Starting point is 02:53:39 the issue is, as we look at the shaky economic system, as we look at the shaky banking system and all the rest of this stuff, as Tony has said, why are you holding much money in the dollar? You need to have it in something that's going to be more substantial. And if you want to get more into metals, even into an IRA, go to DavidKnight.gold. That will take you to WiseWolf.gold, which is Tony's site. And he can help you with all that stuff.
Starting point is 02:54:07 I think the biggest issue, even as bad as the economic aspect looks with this, you've got a lot of people now betting and shorting the market. People like Warren Buffett, people like Michael Burry, who is the big short guy. They think the stock market is overvalued. And looking at us going into recession, you've got all these other people saying, look at all these different banks that are about to fail. The situation internationally is not looking good as well for the dollar.
Starting point is 02:54:38 So all these things combined, it looks like a lot of bad economic news, even though it is an election year. They're going to do everything they can to pull out the stops. Who knows what they can do? But more so than the economic issue, to me, is the CBDC issue and the fact that we need to be prepared as much as we can as individuals to try to operate outside of this slave system that they're putting in place. Before we go to break, we'll take a quick break and we'll come back
Starting point is 02:55:04 and we'll talk about gates and his id schemes um mr goffel thank you for the tip on rumble he says contact that unconstitutional sheriff hodges in virginia uh support the amish ranchers and farmers would the state have been so harsh with a muslim rancher he says no and he's got the uh number there for the Cumberland sheriff. It looks like the one that I've got here. Did you leave off a number, a digit off the phone number, or did he? Anyway, you can look up the Cumberland sheriff and give him a piece of your mind if you want. Whatever. I would say don't make any threats. Don't be foolish about that. Talk about the fact that you support people's choice to grow food and to eat it naturally.
Starting point is 02:55:51 That's the key thing. And that's what we have to, that's what I'm saying. The real issue, that's why I talked about that first today. The real issue is not these clowns on the stage. The real issue is not Tucker and Trump and those two clowns. They're not going to do anything for you. They didn't do anything for you in 2020. None of these guys did. None of them. As a matter of fact, Ramaswamy was on the lockdown pandemic team of Governor DeWine in Ohio, a Republican governor, by the way, not a Democrat governor, a Republican governor. And so, you know, he's there. He's making his money as a pharmaceutical bro.
Starting point is 02:56:26 He's there to, and he was pushing surveillance software to track people and the rest of this stuff. Not only guilty by association, but guilty by recommendations of what he had there. I don't trust him an inch. He's a glib gadfly and not to be trusted. And I don't trust him. I don't think he's got any moral foundation, frankly, if you look at what he's saying. Very wrong on some very important issues, right on some of them, but very wrong on some other issues. But all those guys
Starting point is 02:56:57 had something to do with this. It's like an Agatha Christie novel, you know, where everybody takes a knife and stabs the victim. So, yeah, we all killed her. Well, they all took a stab at the economy, didn't they? And they all did what they could to destroy the economy. We're going to take a quick break and we will be right back. ΒΆΒΆ In a world of deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act. You're listening to The David Knight Show. I was actually surprised to see that this article got a Drudge link. That's not something that I would expect Drudge to link to.
Starting point is 02:58:07 Drudge has gone to the dark side for the most part. But he put up this article from Slay News. Bill Gates, every person on earth should, quote, prove their identity with a digital ID. Well, you first, Bill. What a disgusting person he has become. What a satanic, demonic person he's become. Bill Gates calling on nations around the world to adopt his, quote,
Starting point is 02:58:35 global solution for digital ID, unquote, to ensure that every single person on Earth proves their identity. Oh, there you go. Get your mark of the beast. Every person on earth proves their identity. Oh, there you go. Get your mark of the beast. Every person on earth. Gates lamented that there are 850 million people still left in the world who lack ID to prove their identity.
Starting point is 02:58:56 It's not the first time he's done this. You know, he began in India with the Aadhaar system. They even referenced that later on in this article. And, you know, that was supposedly a big problem that people in India didn't have an ID. And then it became a problem for people in India. If they were poor, uh, they couldn't get any money or medical care or anything like that, unless they got the ID.
Starting point is 02:59:18 So that's the didn't even really, you know, offer them something like this other megalomaniac, Sam Altman, OpenAI and WorldCoin. Oh, I'll give you a couple of bucks here if you let me scan your eye. How about that? Get a global ID for you, a biometric global ID. Gates has a modular open source identification platform. He calls it MoSip. MoSip. Or MaSip, I don't know. A global solution, he says, for rolling out digital IDs for the entire human
Starting point is 02:59:52 race. This guy who was the demonic spawn of a family that was very heavily into Planned Parenthood, promoting abortion. The Bushes, by the way, also, you know. The patriarch of the Klan, Prescott Bush,
Starting point is 03:00:10 was the first treasurer of Planned Parenthood. His name appears on the very first fundraising letter from Margaret Sanger. And even as Jeb Bush was taking credit for pulling back some of the funding of abortion in Florida, some of the state funding, his family was giving even more money to Planned Parenthood. That's the way these people operate. But anyway, back to Gates.
Starting point is 03:00:35 He says, we've got to have a formidable solution for dismantling the barriers for people. No, he wants to erect barriers. These are barriers that are being erected by the globalists and by government. This is why I say you want to get into gold and silver, not just from an investment standpoint, but because you want to be able to get away from these barriers, these walls that they're putting in. Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation has just pumped $10 million into this MOSIP thing. They've joined forces with the UN's Sustainable Development Goals.
Starting point is 03:01:09 That's the 2030 thing. The 2030 UN Agenda for Sustainable Development. That's what this is all about. And so they're joining with that openly now. Gates, the UN, and the 2030 agenda all appear to be pitching the technology for use in low to middle income economies, but they're planning to roll it out worldwide. Do you know how they're going to get it rolled out to us worldwide? They're going to make us low and middle income, you know, compared relatively. Once they have impoverished us, burned us out, starved us, that type of thing,
Starting point is 03:01:42 then they can get us to take the money, take the number. They'll tie things to it. And again, he was pushing this Aadhaar system going back in 2009. According to Gates, the technology is inclusive. It's going to include everybody, right? It's so wonderful. It's so DEI, isn't it? The magnitude of data collection, the potential
Starting point is 03:02:07 risks associated with breaches or misuse are becoming increasingly, alarmingly evident, says Slay News. Well, again, that's not even the real issue. They make this about privacy. This is about totalitarianism. It's about Mark of the Beast. It's about their desire, this megalomaniac desire to control everybody everywhere. And you understand the world governance is going to be done primarily through corporations. I'm not even so sure about, it'll be a long time before they ever go to a situation, I think, where they'll have a, this is the world government, blah, blah, blah. It's going to be kind of this network. I think they're going to maintain the illusion, at least, of national entities, just like the illusion of national
Starting point is 03:02:56 entities was used in 2020, but everybody was doing exactly the same thing at exactly the same time. And so in this article, they say, well, it's going to be, we have to have this in order to stimulate economic growth. Who's economic growth? Bill Gates, Sam Altman, people of that ilk, at our expense. That is what they do not want to talk about. The people that you may be thinking of as ones who are going to protect you against this. By the way, when you look, this is, I think, the metaphor for what we need to do. Look at this. We showed people taking down these spy cameras in the UK and everything.
Starting point is 03:03:37 Here's a key way to put this up, is they're going to start charging people for moving a non-electric car $15 a day. These spy stickers here. Look at that. Sorry, I didn't mean to cut off the music. ULEZ spy camera. They got an era up there. That's the thing. We have to warn people.
Starting point is 03:03:54 We have to say, look, see this Gates ID thing? That's a spy camera if you think about it. Yeah, make your preparations. Again, DavidKnight.gold. Thank you very much.
