(22:06)Investigation into mass homicide in England & Scotland begins. Government LITERALLY executed the elderly and called it Covid. This is in addition to the hospital death protocols that ALL countries were marching to in lockstep. (35:47)We're about as far from first primaries (in about 6-7 months) as we are from the 2022 election. So why is everyone saying we already have nominees, Trump & Biden? Beware of push polls and other distractions from actual issues. Competing polls from independents & "swing" voters tell us different narratives (58:39)Democrats are using Trump trials to elevate him and destroy any other GOP hopefuls (1:09:18)Criteria for first GOP debate and the criteria that will give Trump cover for not participating in ANY debates (1:11:16)New York Times says DeSantis reversing course on vaccines will cost him the election. DeSantis believes it's his strongest issue. (1:14:11)Chris Christie is wrong on ALL the issues, but he's spot-on with Trump — grifter. Here's the grift that Trump is running right now with Save America PAC (1:32:23)The Pifzer Tornado Lies Hopefully you weren't taken in by social media accounts telling you it wasn't a tornado but white hats taking out Pfizer.

You're listening to The David Knight Show. As the clock strikes 13, it's Monday, the 23rd of July, year of our Lord, 2023. Well, today we're going to begin by taking a look at Big Pharma. And of course, we're now seeing lawsuits left and right. It is now becoming an issue. New York Times thinks this is a losing issue for DeSantis. He thinks it is the centerpiece of his campaign. Very interesting to see how this operates. But of course, we've got a lot of lawsuits against the Biden administration, against various jurisdictions and corporations,

which had the Republicans shutting down the reinstatement of pilots who were kicked off the job because they wouldn't take the jab, even as they're facing a critical shortage of pilots. Yeah, 83 Republicans. We'll not mention all their names, but we'll mention some of the key Republicans who voted not to let pilots have their jobs back. We'll be right back. Well, there have been 8,739 lawsuits filed in the United States over COVID rules, over these mandates and regulations without representation. But of course, if you look at it,

I imagine since we've seen most of the Republicans quiet about this, and a large percentage of them voting to maintain this stuff, I guess they could have gotten it through anyway. You had 100% of the Democrats. Well, take it back. There was one Democrat who did not vote to keep the pilots from returning if they were fired because they didn't get the jab. But we've had 8,739 cases, 4,500 plus are still active, and they're adding them daily. As a matter of fact, at the rate of about a little over three a day and just the past 30 days 96 cases have been filed in california michigan and new york alone so absolutely if you were involved in this file a lawsuit i would talk to somebody even

if you took the jab uh and have not been injured yet i I would still talk to a lawyer. If they like lawfare, give it to them good and hard. The Biden administration dropped its vaccine requirements for federal workers May the 11th. It went that long. The same day that they claimed that the public health emergency had ended. The one that was put in by Trump March the 13th of 2020. So they went three years and two months with that.

Many states and businesses have done the same amid litigation over the legality of the requirements or their mandates yet. As of last week, there's still 4,544 active pandemic-related employment cases that have been filed since January the 1st, 2020. The highest number of cases filed, 2,724, are employment discrimination complaints, of which only 18% have been resolved. The lowest percentage of about 15 categories in COVID-related federal legislation. It's not legislation, folks. We've got to stop calling it that. This is just the news. Bureaucratic rules are not legislation. They make that distinction very carefully when they talk about civil asset forfeiture. We don't have to give you the presumption of innocence.

IRS, the same thing. Really, it's IRS where this all began. But now all the agencies do this. We don't have to give you a presumption of innocence. We charge you with this. Then you have to prove that you're innocent. We don't want to start with that assumption. That turns everything upside down and inside out.

And you don't have any protection against excessive fines or punishment either. No presumption of innocence, no due process, no protection against excessive fines or punishment. These are not laws. And that's what they say. Well, if this were a law, we would have to give you your constitutional, but these are regulations that are put out by the bureaucracy and the bureaucracy and the presidency are, of course, above the law. They're above the Constitution. This is the fundamental flaw of where we are today. And unless and until this is corrected,

we're going to be at the mercy of not only all the local, state, and federal people, but we're going to be at the mercy of the WHO as well. As long as they pretend that they can come up with rules and that rules are somehow different from laws and that there is absolutely no constitutional protection of our God-given rights, well, we're done. You hear anybody talking about that that's running for president? I haven't heard anybody say anything about that. Not a single candidate. Not DeSantisantis not rfk certainly not trump trump violated all that stuff and had no problem

doing proud of it proud of it uh and and biden as well legal non-profits such as liberty council and first liberty institute continue to litigate cases for clients who are suing former employers over being fired for not receiving the vaccine because of religious beliefs. And of course, this is the strongest case. Uh, if you have that, um, in Maine, however, they still have COVID vaccine mandate for healthcare workers still, still in Maine. This is the state, as I pointed out last week, I think it was last week. It might have been two weeks ago. But they just passed an abortion law

that says that you can abort your kid all the way up to delivery for any reason or no reason at all. And somebody tried to put in a writer and said, okay, but we're going to stop the donation of body parts, right? Because that's going to be an incentive. Let's at least do that. They shut that down as well. So you can kill your baby in Maine at any time for no reason at all. And if you want, you know, you can donate the stuff that's left, the organs. I can kill the baby while it's alive and grab the organs and send them to Fauci or

whoever's taking his place now doing this kind of research. And so in Maine, they still have the COVID vaccine mandate for healthcare workers. And even the state's health and human resources, or surfaces, I should say, HHS for Maine, even the state department of HHS proposed earlier this month to remove it, but they're not going to do it until possibly later this year. This is not medicine. It's not science. It's just rampant tyranny and power. Raw power. Liberty Council represents seven health care workers from Maine who lost their job after religious exemptions for the vaccine mandate were denied, of course. No religion in Maine. No First Amendment in Maine.

In that case, the first U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled unanimously in May that a district court had incorrectly dismissed the plaintiff's First Amendment and equal protection claims, and they sent the case back to the district court. So in Maine, not only is the legislature corrupt, not only is the health department corrupt, the courts are as well. Courts said, no, we don't care about the First Amendment. We don't care about equal protection either. And then the U.S. Circuit Court, First Circuit Court, sent it back to the district court, said, no, that's not right. Think again. Similarly, Liberty Council is in a court battle before the

Second U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals with the state of New York over its vaccine mandate again for health care workers. They really want to get any health care workers who have religious convictions out. They want to get soldiers and sailors and airmen who have religious convictions out. Tell me that we're not heading into a massive persecution. You look at the hate directed at Christians, who for the longest time said, all right, well, you know, I understand that my ethics code is not your ethics code, but we also have the legal principle here based on Christian ethics

that we will tolerate what other people do instead of trying to put them in prison your ethics code. But we also have the legal principle here based on Christian ethics that we will tolerate what other people do instead of trying to put them in prison because they violate this. You know, there's something of punishment that is far worse that we want to tell you to avoid, which is God's wrath. But, you know, you are free to do what you wish to do. And we're not going to use the government to try to enforce our morality on you because we don't want morality enforced on us. The problem is they're enforcing morality on us. Blood clots can happen to anyone at any age. Be particularly vigilant if you are going into hospital,

have active cancer or undergoing cancer treatment, are pregnant, or just had a baby, are in a leg cast or had a lower limb injury, are taking the combined oral contraceptive pill or oral HRT? Ask your doctor for a blood clot risk assessment. Visit thrombosis.ie. The problem is that that tolerance of degeneracy has now brought us up to the line or just over the line of pedophilia. It's brought us to the point of religious persecution and censorship

and all the rest of this stuff, and it has to end. We have to understand that you don't give these types of protections to criminals, people who want to use the First Amendment to get what they want but then deny it to everybody else. It's just that simple. And I say that as somebody who's always worked in politics as a libertarian. We have to understand how this is being used. And we have to not be afraid to push back against these people

who have absolutely no respect for free speech. They want to censor everybody. I haven't covered it much, but, you know, who have absolutely no respect for free speech. They want to censor everybody. I haven't covered it much, but the speech that RFK Jr. gave in Congress was great, and it was amazing that he goes there to talk about censorship, and the Democrats decide they're going to censure him and censor him at the same time. Just amazing how shameless the tyranny is. And so we have to fight back against that with everything that we can. And we have to essentially stop the weaponization of this Marxist critical race theory and the rest of this stuff. And we can do it still taking the high ground. We can do it

still saying we're going to support free speech categorically, and I don't really care about your feelings. Don't care about them at all. I don't care about your degenerate imagination or your feelings. We have a law here that has not been changed. It is still the supreme law of the land, which says you're not going to censor us. You're not going to violate our religious freedom. You're not going to put us in a closet. And that's what I'm talking about. You know, this whole thing about they don't want to be tolerated. They demand to be celebrated. They demand that they get to rewrite not only the rules, but our language and our religion as well to their religion. And this applies in all of these different areas.

It's not just the LGBT. It's also the COVID rules that were put out there for censorship, the climate rules, all the rest of this stuff. That's how they control us. And we've got to stop pretending that these people, because they get their feelings hurt, or corporations, because, hey, corporations have rights just like we do. No, they don't.

They're government-created. They have privileges. When they act fraudulently, you can stop them or just dissolve them. I think what RFK Jr. said about the corporate death penalty was absolutely true. But you notice that I don't buy his explanation that that was what he was talking about with the Koch brothers. You don't give a corporation three hots and a cot, which is what he was talking about. He was talking about locking up individuals. He was not talking about the death penalty for the corporation, and he spun it that way, fundamentally dishonest.

So his statements about censoring people that he disagreed with over the climate alarmism do not pass muster with me. I think he's still being a little bit too clever by half. He wanted to shut people up that he disagreed with. He wanted to throw them in jail if he disagreed with them. And he should have said, well, I saw that, but now that I've experienced it, I realize that was the wrong approach. He needs to be a big enough man to say that he was wrong, but he's not going to do that. That's something you notice all the time about politicians. They'll make two mistakes rather than admit to one.

The only person I've seen close to coming, that even comes close to saying I made a mistake, was DeSantis. He said, I shouldn't lock things down as much as I did. And his other mistake is that he should have gone even further. But again, he did it earlier and to a greater extent than anybody else did. And he did say, I've made a mistake. But you don't hear that from anybody else. You know, Ramaswamy was part of this as well.

When you look at this, right, both DeSantis, RFK Jr., and Ramaswamy, they were part of this stuff at the very beginning. Now, they all pulled out of it to one degree or the other. As I pointed out last week, RFK, when we were nearing the end of the two weeks, retweeted and endorsed the statements, summarized it and endorsed it, an article from Forbes magazine saying, this lockdown has been really good for the climate. And we've got to make sure that when it opens up,

we don't open up these rules again. We've got to keep a lot of this stuff locked down because lockdown is good for the climate. You want to tell me that he's not going to do a climate lockdown? Blood clots can happen to anyone at any age. Be particularly vigilant if you are going into hospital, This next election, Ask your doctor for a blood clot risk assessment. Visit thrombosis.ie. This next election, the person will take office in 2025. And it'll take us right up to 2029.

It'd be real advantageous for them to have a second term of Biden or Trump. It'd be real advantageous for them to have somebody who believes in climate. The climate MacGuffin. Anyway, getting back to this, in New York, the workers were also denied religious exemption, even though they gave a medical exemption to the healthcare workers. They denied a religious exemption. That's New York for you. Meanwhile, First Liberty Institute continues to fight the Biden administration court over the military COVID vaccine mandate. It was rescinded late last year after Congress passed the NDAA that repealed the mandate. First Liberty Institute has argued that by denying Navy SEALs and sailors their religious accommodation request to the COVID vaccine mandate. The Navy violated the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution and the Religious Freedom Restoration Act. And understand

the Navy has been more aggressive in this than any other branch of the service from what we've heard from people who have been working on this. The Secretary of the Navy said, is trying to get out of this by saying, well, now that we've stopped kicking people out, the complaint is moot. No, it's not. No, it's not. We're extremely surprised and disappointed that the court gave the Navy's horrible treatment of our nation's finest warriors a free pass, said First Liberty CEO. We have defeated the Navy at every stage. And now that Congress forced the Navy to comply with the Constitution, the Navy is running scared. First Liberty Institute Vice President said the Navy never made an admission that it was wrong. They never offered an apology

to sailors who were negatively affected by the vaccine mandate. Many service members have missed opportunities to be promoted to attend specialized schools for advancement as well as suffering stigmatic harm. It's on their record, right? All of these things are career enders. You get passed over for promotion at, at least at some of the higher levels, you're done. You miss going to these schools.

You've got a thing on here saying, well, he disobeyed the orders, but we couldn't kick him out and that type of thing. That is ongoing harm. GOP lawmakers, however, torpedoed an amendment to bring back pilots, to force the airlines to bring back pilots. Now, remember, the airlines were given billions of dollars as part of Trump's make America bankrupt again. That's the CARES Act, the PPP, all the rest of the stuff.

I said from the very beginning, I said, don't PPP down my back and tell me that it's raining. Because I knew it was going to be, before they even started putting the money out. Trump and his Goldman Sachs, you know, treasury secretary Mnuchin changed the rules and the definition of what a small business was so that Trump, uh, hotels and big wall street firms could qualify. Small business is supposed to be somebody with 500 or fewer employees. They said, well, 500 or fewer employees

at that location. And so as a result, more than 50% of that money went to less than 5% of the companies. I've covered this in the past. Many small businesses getting less than $100. Just a joke.

Just a joke. Just a joke. Millions going to these Wall Street, billions going to the Wall Street firms. But now when it comes time to do something about this that's right, the GOP bails. They shut this amendment down to require the FAA,

to require the airlines to rehire pilots who refused the COVID shots. And it was 294 to 141. 83 Republicans voted with the Democrats. Only one Democrat voted to get the airline pilots their jobs back. Wait a minute. Wasn't that, hasn't historically the Democrat Party always said, well, we're for the little guy, we're for the working man. Well, not in this case. They're for the big pharmaceutical companies.

And therefore being able to order anybody to do whatever I want. It's a game assignment says. It was Fauci says when it was Trump and Biden. But I don't know who the Simon is going to be now, but still the same game. They can tell anybody to do anything they want. You know, if those 83 Republicans had voted the other way, then the motion would have carried. It would have been 224 to 211 to reinstall the FAA pilots. But because you had 83 Republicans who said, no, you take the jab or you lose your job. Don't tell me that this was the bad Democrat governors, okay?

I've heard that for the last three and a half years. And it was Trump who paid him to do this. He was the producer of this. James Wood, the executive producer of this, one of two executive producers of the Sound of Freedom movie. I said, well, you know, I'm sorry, not Sound of Freedom, the Oppenheimer thing, the Oppenheimer movie. And he made sure this thing got produced.

He went around, made the deals, talked to the people to get this thing done. He's a producer on it. So critics love this. Of course, the article comes up and says, well, James Woods might get an Oscar for being executive producer on this Oppenheimer film that the left loves so much. Well, I think their chances of getting an Oscar just went to zero because it's nothing other than a popularity contest, this little club. I mean, you might as well elect somebody class president or something like that. They hate James Woods so much they probably won't give Oppenheimer an award, even though they love it. I was interested in seeing it until I saw that the article saying,

talking about all the different nude scenes that were in it, absolutely unnecessary, and how this is different for this director, Nolan. He hasn't done that type of thing before. And it's like, well, I'm not interested in seeing that. Then keep their film. I guess I keep my record for not going to the movie theaters intact here. But yeah, I'm not interested in that either. But my point being is the producer.

Trump produced all this stuff. He financed all this stuff. He financed and rewarded the hospital death protocols, the lockdowns, telling small businesses they were not essential. That's why I say we need to understand that Trump is not essential to liberty. Trump is not essential to constitutional government. As a matter of fact, he's antithetical to those. He was on the other side.

And it wasn't just the Democrats, the Democrat governors. We had plenty of Republican governors who did. As a matter of fact, they all did at the beginning. They all, including DeSantis, were against the Constitution, were against liberty, were against our God-given rights. Every single one of them. Never forget that. And that includes people like Ramaswamy.

And that includes people like RFK Jr., who was applauding the lockdown. This is great for climate. We need more of this stuff. There's not anybody running for office that either doesn't believe that it was done exactly the right way. That's the majority opinion of the GOP, or else they want to do it more. Well, Trump didn't do enough soon enough, Biden would say. And most of the GOP candidates are along with that. And they take the other three that you think might be against that. They were all on the other side. Ramaswami spent lots of money to get people to rewrite his Wikipedia page

so you wouldn't see that he was working with a Republican governor, DeWine, to lock people down. DeWine was one of the most reprehensible of the Republican governors. DeWine was the guy who came up with the, well, get a vaccine and maybe you'll win a million dollars. We'll put your name in a lottery hat. Maybe pull that out. Maybe you'll win a million dollars.

Maybe you'll also die. Maybe you'll be disabled for the rest of your life. Maybe there'll be a slow moving disease that will take you out. But you know, hey, you might win a million dollars. Was Ramaswamy part of that? So, yeah. Just so you know where the Republicans are. They don't want the pilots to get their jobs back. 83 of them.

This was introduced by Marjorie Taylor Greene and some of the people are saying, well, they voted against this because they didn't want her to have a win. See, this is partisan politics at its finest, isn't it? She comes up with something that should have been there, but they never introduced that bill. Then they voted against it. Hundreds of pilots were forced out of their livelihoods over the past several years for their refusal to get covid vaccine they were denied medical freedom to decide whether they should

take the experimental jab or lose their job uh joshua yoder president of u.s freedom flyers i interviewed uh the freedom flyers back in 2020. I remember when that was happening. Said when the transportation industry is stretched to the point of dysfunction, now comes this news. Pilots are essential. Blood clots can happen to anyone at any age. Be particularly vigilant if you are going into hospital, have active cancer, or undergoing cancer treatment,

are pregnant or just had a baby? Are in a leg cast or had a lower limb injury? Are taking the combined oral contraceptive pill or oral HRT? Ask your doctor for a blood clot risk assessment. Visit thrombosis.ie. To keeping the economy moving, pilots and the American public will continue to feel the negative effects of unlawful mandates and crippling policies of degenerative public-private partnerships. That's right. This is the global governance is going to be public-private. The global governance

will be multinational corporations working with all these, and they will be the glue that pulls all this stuff together and the money and the power that pulls it together. And these little rump national governments are going to be there just as a beard, just like these puppets running for president. They're just placeholders. Just a facade. All the national governments will simply be a facade. We saw all the national governments, as I've said over and over again,

didn't matter what their stated political philosophy was or what party, they all marched in lockstep to this global agenda. And it was being pushed by the multinational corporations, the UN, World Economic Forum, and all the rest of these global organizations. They're the ones who are the movers and shakers. And these politicians just did what they were told. Bob Snow, a commercial pilot who received the vaccine under duress and later suffered related injuries,

told the defender, this is Children's Health Defense, that he believes the amendment was voted down out of spite by some Republicans because of Marjorie Taylor Greene's positions on a number of contentious issues that put her at odds with her own party. Yeah, she's worked against herself by being a showboat. No doubt about it. I'm not sympathetic to the stunts that she has pulled. But that's no reason, this petty personal stuff,

there's no reason to throw the rest of us under the bus, but they do it all the time. Trump did it. That's the way Trump operated, right? It's all about him. And it is for them as well. You know, it's all about Marjorie Taylor Greene personally. It's about Trump personally. And it's also about these other politicians who resent that. And it's about them putting themselves and their petty grievances with these other people who are showboating. We're going to shut them down. But they're just as bad. They're pushing the well-being of this country and individuals,

as well as the constitutional rule of law. They're throwing that under the bus for their petty revenge, acting in their own perceived self-interest, just as Trump does all the time. Now, that's always been the situation. It's a situation where there's not anybody that's part of the Republican that acts in the interest of the public, as far as I can tell. The only person I've seen do that is Thomas Massey. All the rest of them, I wouldn't give you two cents for them. I think there's a large number of elected representatives who supported

the draconian COVID-19 measures enacted by various entities in the country, and now they feel the need to stick to their guns and ride the narrative, even though the measures ran the gamut from ineffective to criminal. Oh, he's absolutely right. Yeah, it was criminal what they did. And they're not about to say that they made a mistake. Because if they admit to what happened, oh, they will be facing trials. So you better believe they're going to ride this narrative to the end.

They're just like slim pickings. They're on the bomb and they're going yee-haw, right down to the thing and nuking the rest of us. According to the Texas scorecard, members of Congress are pressured by airline group lobbyists to vote against the amendment, arguing that the decision over rehiring those pilots should be left up to the corporations.

Corporations, see? It's back to corporate governance again. Well, you know, the corporations need to be able to decide who to censor. Corporations need to be able to do this and debank whoever they wish and all the rest of the stuff. But you know that this is coming from the government. They're simply the deputized state

and the orders are flowing through. It's a snake in a circle, right? And we got this global agenda. And as politicians, we know that our future career is based on complying with the global agenda. And of course, yours as a business is based on your compliance with the globalist agenda. So we have a public-private partnership to stomp on everybody else. And so you're going to work with us, right? And here's a list that we want you to sponge. And here are the people that, you know, if they don't get the vaccine, you get rid of them and you keep them out. And for them to say that this is wrong, well, then they have legal culpability if these people wrongfully terminated

because they were terminated on orders of the government. The government was running this show, wasn't the corporations, just like the government ran the censorship. And so that's another reason why all the Democrats and 83 Republicans would go along with this. And by the way, you know, this is not, when we look at the Republicans who vote against it, it's people like the GOP whip, Emmer, the number three, voted to deny the reinstatement of pilots. It's not only the right thing to do, it was the wrong thing to ever allow that to happen,

but it is the right thing to do not only for those pilots, but also for America. Anyway, those same airlines received $25 billion in taxpayer funds as part of the Corona Aid Relief and Economic Security. That's their acronym for the CARES Act and the PPP. And part of that was to keep airline workers employed. But, of course, then they fire them if they don't take the jab. That's what we're seeing with this. So Congress has refused to reinstate them. Where are we in terms of the people who voted against this? Of the 83 Republicans, just a few names stuck out. I'm not going to read off 83 names. You don't want to hear me do that. As I mentioned already,

Emmer from Minnesota, he is the number three ranking Republican, the whip. He was one of them. Also, some other names that stick out. Mike McCall, who was my congressman in Texas, this guy is a warmongering neocon, if ever there was one. And, of course, he doesn't honor people's choice as to the stuff. Think about that. We got all of the Democrats except one. They want to talk about choice, right? As I said, the only choice they want to give you is a choice to kill your kid. No choice about how you would educate your kid,

what kind of medical treatment you would give your kid. No choice about your medical treatment. Nothing about your body. You know, they always want to say, my body, my choice. Well, you know, this really is about your body. When you're talking about abortion, that's not just your body. That's a child, a different body, a different person, different DNA, different fingerprints, half the time, a different gender. So, um, yeah, that is, uh, they absolutely do not respect choice. Owens, uh, Burgess Owens, the football player out of Utah. That was another name I recognized there. That's kind of interesting, but, um, yeah, Burgess Owens, the football player out of Utah. That was another name I recognized there. That's kind of interesting, but, um, yeah, 83 of them. I just told you three names. There's another 80, uh, by the way, even though the Navy is still fighting this stuff and doesn't want to, um,

make any accommodations for sailors or seals, U. military has confirmed myocarditis spike after the COVID vaccine introduction. This is from Epoch Times. And they're admitting to 151% spike from the annual average from 2016 to 2020, which is after they went back and manipulated the data. Before they manipulated the data with the Defense department's database.

Remember, you know, we had the VAERS database, which was CDC was supposed to track adverse events and do something about it. Uh, they never did. Uh,

lawsuit filed showed that they never, ever tried. They, they, you know, it was a RFK junior and it was, um, Dell big tree who, uh, his organization, ICANN, like I Can Decide.

And before all this stuff happened, they said, okay, so you were given legal immunity by Fauci in his 1986 act. And you were supposed to set up this VAERS database. And the purpose of that was to recommend, make recommendations for what should be changed about vaccines and how the approval process should be changed, all the rest of the stuff. So what have you done over the last 33 years? They refused to admit to it.

They had to sue them as usual. When they got the results of it, they came back and said, well, we didn't do anything with it. Nothing. Yeah. Paid no attention to it whatsoever, except to lie about it when it became a sore point. But the Defense Medical Epidemiology Database, DMED, is something that is done meticulously.

You know, there's a lot of stuff there that's not reported. Again, going back to a harvard study and other studies they said that you know one of them said only one percent of vaccine injuries are even reported and that was before they started actively discouraging people from reporting what was happening with the trump shots but when you look at the military database they're actively looking at this because the purpose of that database is to see if they're under biological attack. So they're very zealous about getting that information. And that had soared by 2868 percent.

In other words, 29 times higher. Not one and a half times higher. But almost 30 times higher. So even after they manipulated that, after that was shown, they said, well, previous five years were wrong, so we're going to go back and change those previous five years. You never noticed that?

Absolutely not credible. They manipulated the data, but now even with the manipulation, it's still one and a half times higher because it keeps increasing. absolutely not credible. They manipulated data, but now, even with the manipulation, it's still one and a half times higher because it keeps increasing. And Scotland, there is now an investigation of mass homicide associated with the hospital death protocol.

They're saying hospital death protocol. We have the United States and everywhere else. Why? Because it is a global plan that's been implemented by all these. It doesn't matter if you're talking about our anti-globalist Trump, conservative and so forth, or if you're talking about Nicola Sturgeon, who is a leftist, feminist, socialist radical. They all did the same thing. They were all taking orders. And so Scotland's

First Minister, Nicola Sturgeon, during the so-called pandemic, is being criminally investigated by homicide police for over 5,500 deaths in care homes, what we call nursing homes here. This will be Scotland's largest ever mass death investigation in its history. And we need to start having these mass death investigations everywhere. Because it has been a major culling. And it is ongoing.

Zandra Lewis, who managed a care home on the Isle of Man, explains in a video recording what really happened in the care home that she worked in at the height of the so-called pandemic. She gives insight into practices that were common across Britain. Could events similar to the Isle of Man have happened in Scottish care homes as well? Well, the Scottish Daily Express reported that detectives from the unresolved homicide investigation team are now involved in the, quote, corporate manslaughter, unquote, complaint against Nicola Sturgeon, Gene Freeman, and the Scottish government. After an exchange lasting for more than four months, former nurse

Leslie Roberts has now finished submitting what officers have described as a, quote, vast quantity of evidence. Ms. Roberts has been working alongside former health and safety prosecutor Roger Livermore and fellow NHS whistleblower, Rab Wilson, their complaint has three key points. The deadly policy of moving hospital patients untested into care homes, the efficacy of face masks for health and social care workers, and the use of do not resuscitate forms.

All of these things, folks, we have talked about here in America and every other country. They all followed in lockstep the same global plan. And it was a death protocol. First for the nursing homes, then for the hospitals. And it was financially rewarded here in the United States by Donald Trump, the executive producer of this mass murder by government.

We know there was a blanket use of do not resuscitate orders. And we know the order came from the very top, they said. Now, this is a big part of this. Oh, somebody's got a respiratory illness? Yeah, it could be anything, right? Could be the usual flu, pneumonia, any of that kind of stuff. Oh, not going to treat it. Go home.

Take a couple aspirins. Come back when you can no longer breathe, and we'll put you on a ventilator, because that's where the money is. And then we'll kill you with a ventilator. Ms. Roberts said, I think there was something very sinister going on. The lives of the elderly and the most vulnerable were taken as a result, and that's why I went down the route of taking this to the police. Instead of protecting the vulnerable, the powers that be, at the start of the pandemic, we're discussing how to get rid of them. And you'll find this video in the article at expose-news.com. Just think of it, expose-news.com.

Xander Lewis, this is the one where they have her testimony, and you can see it on their site, was a registered nurse and director of a nursing home on the Isle of Man at the time that the pandemic was announced. She explains that the Department of Health and Social Care took over the nursing home and immediately placed all the residents, bar two, on end-of-life, end-of-life pathways. So all of them except for two put on, you know, we're going to essentially euthanize them.

What did that include? Denial of food and water. Well, they're at the end of their life. Blood clots can happen to anyone at any age. Be particularly vigilant if you are going into hospital, have active cancer or undergoing cancer treatment, are pregnant or just had a baby, are in a leg cast or had a lower limb injury, are taking the combined oral contraceptive pill or oral HRT. Ask your doctor for a blood clot risk assessment. Visit thrombosis.ie. Really? What's the matter with them? Well, I'm going to deny them food and water, just like Terry Chaveau.

Remember that? The Bush brothers? Governor Jeb, President W., Terry Chaveau, going to deny her food and water on the orders of a little probate judge. That's just the most amazing thing to me. But I was done with bushes at that point in time. I was beyond done with them. And so they did this in Scotland. The health bureaucracy did this to everybody in the nursing home where she was.

Uh, so, um, actually that's not Scotland. That's in the Isle of man, but the same thing in Scotland. And that's again. So there's two things that happen here.

You got the Isle of man where you have a woman who was running the nursing home. And then with the pandemic, they kick her out and they put the bureaucrats in, they put everybody on end of life except for two people. And so at the same time, there's now a mass homicide investigation going on in Scotland. And so Expose News said, well, could it be that they're investigating these same types of things? Cuomo did that in New York, one of the more famous examples of it.

But it was happening everywhere. And it's being financially rewarded by Trump. Never forget the fact that Trump kept the money flowing to Cuomo for all of that. He gave him money to do it. He kept the money flowing, never took any of it back, never had anything to say about it, never criticized him for that really. Many of the residents were prescribed, in addition to denying them food and water, they prescribed them a couple of drugs, midazolam and diamorphine, which suppress your respiratory function. Oh, they died of respiratory disease. They must have died of COVID.

Maybe they died from the two drugs that you gave them to suppress their ability to breathe. Oh, it was COVID. I just know it. So, um, well, again, while she was in charge, none of the residents died from COVID when they took over running the home, using their own staff, 20 residents died within three weeks. I'm surprised when they denied them food and water and had the do not resuscitate order on them that it took that long. And so they think that this is likely a pattern. I believe that it is. And it's not just a pattern

across the UK. It's a pattern across the world. You understand? The British media is trying to scare everybody over new lockdown threats. They say, well, we've got this new tick-borne disease, a killer virus sweeping through Europe. It's always going to be something. Now this is the Crimean Congo hemorrhagic fever. Yeah. I had to get my map out. I didn't realize that Crimea was close to the Congo. Yeah, it's a, yeah, yeah, this is a definitely set up for people with low information. They don't understand what kind of world they live in. Crimean Congo.

Look, there has been, and I've had several people ask me about this. What about this new virus is coming out? Okay. Remember we've had monkey pox. We've had Delta. We've had all these scare things. They've been talking to us about all this stuff. Ebola was one of them. Remember when Ebola came to town and Dallas, and you had the guy who was the highest elected official in Dallas. He's the, the judge there, you know, not a judge in a courtroom. They just, that's the highest elected official in the area. And Clay Jenkins, and when Ebola came to town, well, Clay Jenkins said, don't worry about this. It came in the form of an illegal immigrant from Africa, came with Ebola. He subsequently died. Two nurses almost died who were treating him. But Clay Jenkins goes over there and he did everything but lick the walls

to show everybody, there's nothing to fear. Hey, we got a couple. We got a football game coming up. Go to that football game. We got the Cowboys and the Houston Oilers or whatever they call themselves now. And they're going to be, we got lots of hospitals. We got thousands of nurses and doctors. We can handle all this stuff.

Don't worry about it. Have a good time. And then when their so-called pandemic came along, remember how he went after that single mom who had, I think it's a beauty parlor or something like that. Don't put her in jail, You're going to shut down her business and then give her thousands of dollars in fines? Same guy. Same guy.

I think his name was Clay Jenkins, if I remember correctly. But same guy who had been posing with photographs with Obama and Fauci telling everybody, don't worry about Ebola. Oh, but you've got to worry about COVID. And so what you have to worry about is not the virus. Don't worry about the bioweapons and the gain of function.

Yes, we need to shut those things down. Yes, they might actually someday figure it out. But anybody that talks to you about this bioweapon stuff, anybody that's spreading fear about a coming virus and all the rest of this stuff, you now know which side they're on. They're part of team fear. And the real thing that you have to be afraid of are their solutions. The only science involved in this is behavioral science. And that's what you need to be careful about. On Rumble, we get some comments here. Rebel Forever 01. Thank you for calling out DeWine.

I can't stand my governor here in Ohio. Neither can I. Brad Little was another one that would really stand out. But there's a lot of really bad Republican governors. I had a lot of problem with Greg Abbott, too. You know, the very beginning of this stuff was some of the Trump cash that he got. $300 million. He, you know, just recently has finally crossed the threshold of spending more than that to protect the border or do anything else. I mean, it's a phenomenal amount of money. And he gave it to a shell corporation in Frisco, Texas. An independent journalist went by and showed there was nobody there. There's one guy running it, and he's got a, he padded his resume with experience that

he didn't have. But, you know, so there was evidence of corruption that both Democrat and Republican press started looking at, and then it just disappeared. You didn't hear any more about it. It wasn't resolved. But even if the guy was legitimate, the $300 million that Abbott put in there was to track and trace people.

It was about surveillance and control from the very beginning. And Abbott was uh, was very reluctant to, uh, move any restrictions and social distancing except for voting. And he got a lot of pushback from churches. So he said, okay, church, you can go to church and you can vote, but other than that, you're going to stay home and you got to wear the mask and you got to do this and you got to do that. And, um, yeah, he was, and, and then said that, uh, private corporations could force you to get vaccinated or fire you, that type of thing. So, on Rumble, Tony the Tiger, 13. Or maybe the XIII.

Maybe he's from China. Maybe he's like, she. Anyway, the Bob Snow story is very sad and representative of the cruelty and oppression our government will inflict on you. If you get in the way it is, and here's a guy who knows how criminal this is because he took the jab to keep his job. And now you see where the Republicans are. They've outed themselves. On Rockfin, John John, I was a military aviator, also a plane owner. I follow aviation topics and news.

There were many jabbed pilots who were having health emergencies. Yes, I know. We've talked about that many times in heart attacks that are not making the news. And that's the thing that's really critical. You go back to the very beginning of this, and I remember reporting on it, the whole idea that they were going to coerce pilots to take a vaccine that was under emergency use authorization. That violated all, not only did that violate all of the due diligence

and testing for safety and efficacy that the FDA is supposed to do, but also violated the FAA's rules. You're not allowed to take experimental drugs while you are a pilot. End of story. Just like OSHA, you know, you can't force people to wear a mask. We're going to require it under some real dusty environments, but if it's necessary in that really, really dusty environment, you've got to give people breaks after every 20 minutes.

And then they turn it completely upside down. They used OSHA then to push the mask mandates and other mandates on people. And this is what the government does. They take the Constitution. They take FISA. They take these things. They turn them inside out and upside down. And they use them to coerce the very thing that that agency or that rule or that law was set up to stop.

To stop. Because that's the whole point of our government. Why do we have a federal government? The whole point of the government, according to our fundamental principles defined in the Declaration of Independence, is to protect our God-given rights. And yet, once they get power, they use their presumed power and authority to destroy our God-given rights, you see. So it's now up to us to alter or to abolish this government. Rockfin, Mark Crawford, thank you so much for the tip. I appreciate that. David, I love your show. I watch it daily. Keep up the great work. Well, thank you.

Rockfin, Doug Elkins, thank you as well for the tip. He says, thank you, David and family. Thank you so much. By the way, we haven't picked up what's coming over the weekend, but we're just a little past the 50% mark with a few days left. So I don't really know what is happening. Maybe I've run off the Trump supporters. So be it. I don't care.

But anyway, Unrumble, conservative thinker. Thank you. Appreciate it. Good to see you there again. Would you give Travis a weapon if he went crazy shouting, I'm going to homicide in this house? Of course not. Red flag laws are common sense laws.

And, uh, well, the red flag laws really are about the red flag should be applied to the individual. You know, if, uh, if Travis says I'm going to commit homicide, I wouldn't give him a gun, I wouldn't give him access to the knives. I wouldn't give him the car keys. I wouldn't give him, uh, sticks and stones. The problem is the person, right? The person goes nuts. You need to put the person away and you don't put people away unless you give them due process. And so that's the whole problem with all this red flag stuff. And the main problem is just

who gets to make that decision. Yes. It's not your family that's going to be making these calls most likely, unless it's one of your crazy aunts that thinks, oh, he's too far right. I better call the police. Yeah. Yeah. Some family members have used this to settle the score. Or some lunatic liberal you get into an argument with online who somehow gets your address and name and then reports you to the police and sends them to your door. And that's not a theory. That's happened all the time. In a sense, it's kind of like a SWAT teaming people. Right. And so, you know, from the very beginning of this, here's the red flag. The red flag is when Trump says, take the gun and do the due process later.

He said the quiet part out loud. That's what all these red flag laws are about to one degree or the other, take the gun and do the due process later. And so look again, if somebody is dangerous, you don't just take their gun. They can kill people in SUV or anything. There's more people killed with hands. And so, uh, yes, bare hands. So if the person is dangerous, you take the person, but you

better give them due process. The whole point of doing the red flag thing. It's just simply to get guns and to do this ex parte, where the person is not even involved. It's like a grand jury indictment. And so you can red flag a ham sandwich if you want to put it in that perspective. We'll be right back. Thank you. Thank you. Making sense common again. You're listening to The David Knight Show.

All right, before I get back into the news, and we're going to talk about some election stuff briefly, because there's more important issues, frankly, especially this far ahead of even the primaries beginning. Not even the election, but even the primaries beginning. And this is driven by the media that is seeking attention and readership. You know, they're dry and the campaigns, you know, they're driving this stuff to drive expectations. These are push polls in most cases at this point in time.

And the other aspect of it is, you know, everybody's saying, who's the most winnable? You know, it's a horse race aspect of it. Rather than looking at policies or principles. You see article after article, and it doesn't matter whether it's Breitbart or the New York Times, what this poll say about how many people support this person. Then I ask you, what did this person do? What did this person say? What is he proposing?

This is why policy is not even a part of the presidential election. It's just a circus. It's a media circus. And it's all a circus it's a media circus and it's all about who's ahead you know who's gonna this guy was that now this guy's coming up and so forth uh before we get to that let me this goes back i i got this buried here and um this goes back to uh a couple of uh weeks ago a couple of deposits ago. I didn't mention these people's names who sent us checks. Karen mentioned that to me. Let me quickly give their names and say thank you to them.

Ty S., Scott C., Mary Ellen M., Jeff and Janine K. Thank you very much. As a matter of fact, Jeff and Janineine uh sent a letter and um and they had a they're from washington state beautiful place and uh said my husband said in a recent email that the beauty of this place is um is and the country is what's keeping us here. She said, for me, the reason I don't want to leave is that I have four parents here to take care of. My mom, Jeff's dad, my dad, step, he had all of them vaccinated and boosted.

There's still hope for their souls to be saved, but not much time left for any of them. They're 78 to 82 years old, their parents. And so she asked asked would you please join us in prayer for them too uh it's jeff and janine so for their parents that are still in that area and it is a beautiful area i remember um you know we lived in texas that's about as far west as we've ever lived and so even then we had to take a plane flight to get up there before all the craziest stuff started happening with the planes and one of the best vacations we had was up in the pacific

northwest wasn't it travis such a beautiful area up there um it was sad however um i had to take a couple of trips up there because of what was happening um in oregon Oregon and these other places with the people who are pushing back against the Bureau of Land Management trying to drive them off of their homes well before this all started happening with the Dutch. I mean, it's the same plan. They're just doing it now with the Dutch and also in Ireland, you know, we're going to kill hundreds of thousands of cattle in Ireland, trying to take essentially all the cattle away from the most productive farmers on earth. In Netherlands, I mean, it's second only to the United States, that tiny country, in terms of food exports. So they've got to be the first ones attacked.

Just to let you know where we're going. Let's talk about the politicians, though. And we'll talk a little bit about the horse race aspect here and how this is being portrayed. Breitbart has a big article, got lots and lots of comments. Everybody gets excited about this. And remember, we are still seven, eight months away from this, you know, six months away, I should say. No, actually about seven or eight months away. Anyway, about the same amount of time since we just had these elections. And I remember right after the elections, because DeSantis did so well in Florida,

he was at one point ahead of Trump. And everybody, well, that's it. You know, Trump is done. Well, things have changed, haven't they? In the last seven or eight months. And we got as much time between now and the first primaries as we do then. But now everybody's telling you it's all over. It's all over.

Trump is the winner. No doubt about it. Breitbart says Trump leads Biden by 18 points among independents. And this is a survey that came from Harvard and Harris Poll. Now, since when do these pollsters get anything right? Remember 2016? Everybody was making fun of how wrong they were. But now, you know, if the poll says what you want, which is that Trump is invincible,

oh, you love the polls now, don't you? So the survey found Trump holds a five-point lead over Biden among all voters, with 45% supporting Trump, the 40% who support Biden. But their 16% of voters remain undecided. So you're up plus five. But, and again, they're rounding something here because, you know, there's a, um, it's 15 points, but anyway, the, uh, you're up five, but there's a 15 to 16 points out there that are still up in the air. So it doesn't really mean anything at all, even if it's accurate.

Uh, but when you look at the way this is being, uh, but there's other ways that you can slice this, uh, nearly half of voters would consider supporting a third party candidate But when you look at the way this is being, but there's other ways that you can slice this. Nearly half of voters would consider supporting a third-party candidate, the latest Quinnipiac University survey found. So it means that half of the voters don't like either one of these guys. And so maybe we're not in the minority anyway. I don't like either one of these guys. I wouldn't vote for either one of them.

I don't know any third parties that I'm interested in either, though. It's a problem. I'm interested in local elections because we have to start taking power back. It has to be a grassroots thing. It isn't going to be some leader that's going to help us. I said this from the very beginning. I said, look, even if Trump were to do, you know, when he was running 2015, 2016, immediately after his election, it's like, why is everybody so focused on this one guy? I mean, he's not that young, number one. He's got two terms that he can serve, max. Why don't they start talking about, instead of this

person, why don't they start talking about some of the principles? We need to have a movement because we'd already seen this with a tea party movement taxed enough already. Okay. Well, uh, you say we pay too many taxes. I agree. What's the solution. Um, do we cut taxes or do we cut spending and programs? What do we do? I mean, if you just cut taxes, the deficit explodes. So what, what is their response? And you know, the people who were part of the tea party movement, uh, the deficit explodes. So what is their response? And the people who were part of the Tea Party movement, they were divided as to whether they should cut programs or whether they should

cut taxes. And if they wanted to cut programs, they couldn't agree on which programs they wanted to cut. Taxes being too high is not something that you can organize around. It's not an organizing, central organizing principle for a movement. It really isn't. They can get people angry, can get people motivated, but you still have to direct them to what the solution is. People are angry about the Boston Tea Party thing. It wasn't even because it was that much of a tax. It was a 3% tax on tea.

They understood it was a monopoly. They understood the principles involved were greater than the tax itself. Now people are looking at taxes that are 10 to 20 times that, and they're angry about it. But they can't agree on what to do about it because there's no set of principles. And that's the way it was and has been with the MAGA movement from the very beginning this is simply a cult focused around one person not around principles there's no agreement on this and i say there's no agreement because even though he had some uh some policies that he was focused on like build the wall he didn't do that. As Chris Christie has pointed out, as I've pointed out, he did 40 some odd miles

of wall when he was in there. Like Chris Christie said, so is he going to stay in president? Is it 150 years more at that rate? How did all this thing, had the border devolve into total chaos if Trump had sealed it off? Well, he didn't. And, of course, it's not the wall. The wall is not a good solution. The problem is we've got a magnet.

And if the magnet is big enough, and in the United States it is, you can pull stuff through the crooks and crannies. You can pull people through the crooks and crannies. They will find a way to get in if you offer them enough stuff. And so the problem is that the welfare state needs to go to zero for foreigners. Can we not agree on that? You don't understand what a hard sell it is for Republicans to say, we're going to cut people off of welfare in the United States. Can't you say we're going to cut foreigners off of welfare? Yeah. Let them come in and work if they want to come in and work, but they're not going to get any welfare, any subsidy, any protection.

It's going to be at their risk, which is the way it was when we had massive waves of immigrants coming in from Europe and it worked out well. You had people who were determined to work hard and they were going to take that risk and they were optimistic and determined. We don't want people who are coming for free stuff. We want people who are coming for freedom. But we do exactly the opposite. We say, well, we're going to have you, we're going to track people in America and you're going to have to get the permission of the federal government with E-Verify in order to get a job. That's exactly backwards, exactly backwards. The majority of independents, 64%,

so they would consider voting for a third-party candidate. But that's not the case in either party. The two parties have really hardened. 57% of Republicans say they would only vote Republican. 61% of Democrats, only Democrat. They're not going to support any third-party candidates. So that's one of the things. So the key thing, you know, the Democrats and Republicans, they're going to be any third party candidates. So that's one of the things. So the key thing,

you know, the Democrats and Republicans, they're going to be partisan enough. They're going to vote for whoever the nominee is. Perhaps. And what I think the Democrats are looking at is that as this warfare increases, Trump's popularity increases as they keep bringing up charges against him. Many of them are overcharges. They're not justified. Some of them are justified. And that is going to be the problem. Because no matter whether they've brought up so many unjustified charges that Republican supporters of Trump are not even going to look at the merits of these things.

They're going to dismiss them out of hand. And I think there are some merits to some of these charges. But the key thing is they keep bringing these charges up, knowing that it's going to make Trump more and more popular. And as he is running for president, he is going to completely divide and trash anybody else that is running. Anybody that he perceives as a threat to him, he will attack. And so if they are successful and they get something like an insurrection conviction on him so that he can't

run for office under the 14th Amendment, he will have so badly damaged and divided the Republican base that what's left will be unable to stand up to even Biden. And so it is a complete, it's a very clever thing that they're doing. Trump is their weapon of destruction. Just as he was a weapon of destruction for the globalists during this lockdown executive order, the masking and all the rest of this stuff. He was a guy who, oh, well, you know, he's the anti-globalist. How do you know that? Is it based on what he does? No, I know that because he says so,

because, you know, his supporters say so. Except look at what he did. So analysts with the DeSantis campaign come in and say, well, let's not look at Democrats, Republicans, and Independents. Let's look at swing voters. Now, what are swing voters? These are not the people who hang out with Hunter. This is an online monitoring firm. They broke it into 10 different categories.

Swing voters, as they defined it, are people who are disillusioned Trump voters, people who are undecided, people who are Biden skeptics, people who are never Trumpers and more moderate Republicans, people who are independents, those who voted for Obama and then voted for Trump, abstainers, Vermont Bernie Sanders, left supporters who are turned off by Biden, ex-Democrats, third party voters, all these types of people. They look at it and say, well, these are people who could go either way. They're not tied to a particular person or a particular party. And so they looked at it and they looked at who had the most negative comments and, you know, unfavorability rating. Trump generated the most negative commentary among swing voters with 15% expressing positive statements, 55% negative.

So he's at a minus 40 percentage points. By comparison, 19% of swing voters expressed positive views of DeSantis versus 15% for Trump. 31% had negative. So he had a minus 12 percentage points. Biden had a negative 20 point rating. Now I'll say to put a little bit of perspective on this. At this point, you would expect that DeSantis would not be as negative as Biden and Trump simply because

people don't know as much about him. And his negativity ratings are going to continue to go up if he continues to push back against the LGBT agenda and the CRT agenda. If he pushes back against Sodom and go Marxist, they're going to go up. But the reality is when you look at this, comments from the analysis, one person thinks that DeSantis could get the crossover vote like Reagan did, Trump will not. And I agree that Trump will not. I don't know if these Republicans will get it, but I know that Trump does not have a chance at that. And it's going to be even more damaging after more of these charges are put up there. I don't think that most of the people are going to look at the charges around January the 6th of the documents as simply being something that was imagined by these people. I think the

independents are going to look at this and say, yeah, you know, you can look at the rest of this stuff, you know, what the Manhattan DA is doing, what the people in Georgia are doing, and stuff about the fake electors and things like that. I don't think that is a legitimate threat to him, but I think the other stuff is. Anti-polling is honest, reliable, and true. They said it confirms what people already know. Trump can't beat Biden. Of course, that's the people from the DeSantis campaign saying that. But again, we're talking about horse race aspects.

They got to jump into this because you know we're being told by the media well it's all over now no it's not as a matter of fact on friday now you've got um you know the the maga media is furious with this trump appointed judge cannon in florida is going to be hearing some of the dot is going to be hearing the document case i say start to say some of the document stuff because again it's strange to me that this case uh in bedminster where that was where you had the very incriminating audio tape and the rest of this stuff it's strange to me that uh special prosecutor, Jack Smith, didn't bring any charges in that jurisdiction and didn't mention that tape. And so I think they're holding that

out for some other reason. So maybe they're holding that in reserve in case Trump gets in office. I don't think that's going to be the case, however. So now at this point, you've got seven presidential candidates appear to be meeting the polling criteria for the first RNC debate, but that doesn't mean that they meet all the criteria because there are several different criteria. There's a polling criteria, there's a finance contribution criteria, and there's also the requirement that you pledge to support whoever the eventual Republican nominee is.

Now with that requirement there, that may be to support whoever the eventual Republican nominee is. Now, with that requirement there, that may be the get-out-of-jail card for Trump to not show up for any of these debates. And so when you just look at the polling issues, you have seven who qualify based on the polls. Trump, DeSantis, Ramaswamy, Pence, Haley, Tim Scott, Chris Christie, all of them have reached 1% or higher in at least two qualifying national polls and in two qualifying state polls from separate states. And so that's the polling requirement.

You've got seven people who qualify for that. But then they also have to meet a fundraising criteria, and Pence has not met that. So if he doesn't get more money, I don't know how he's going to get more money after that interview he had with Tucker Carlson. I hope he doesn't. If he doesn't meet that, that takes it down to six, and then Trump is not going to show up, and Trump may not show up to any of these because he's not going to sign a pledge to

support the eventual Republican nominee, I don't believe. His role in the Republican primary is to either win it or to destroy it for everybody else. And he's already destroyed two midterm elections. Of the remaining GOP candidates who have not met the polling criteria, you have Asa Hutchinson, former Arkansas governor and current governor of North Dakota,

Doug Burgum, who was offering, if you gave him a donation of a dollar, he would give you back $20. Because the funding criteria is on the number of donors, not the amount of money that you get. And it makes sense. He's going to spend a million dollars for the first 50,000 or whatever to get him past that threshold. I think you've got to have 40,000 donors.

And so by doing 50,000, he makes sure that if some of them are kicked out, it's the same thing you do when you have to collect signatures to get on the ballot. You've got to go a little bit over because they may kick some of these out. So he's looking to spend a little bit over because they may kick some of these out. Uh, so he's looking to spend, um, you know, a million dollars, but, uh, that's chicken feed for these guys with their advertising budget. If I could get him on the debate stage, it'd be worth it for him. You also have a Will Heard, Texas Congressman. I've not heard of running for, uh, office. Um, and, uh And Francis Suarez, they need to do at least 1% in a couple of state polls. Doug Burgum needs two national polls.

So maybe he met his funding criteria. But anyway, that's going to be the end of August, August 21st. The New York Times did an article on Ron DeSantis over the weekend. The steep cost of DeSantis' vaccine turnabout. See, the New York Times thinks that DeSantis reversing course on these vaccines is going to kill him. That's why the New York Times doesn't like him. Once a vaccine advocate, the Florida governor lost his enthusiasm for the shot before the Delta wave sent COVID hospitalizations and deaths soaring. Do you remember that? I don't remember

that happening. Yeah, I think they're making this stuff up. Okay. Maybe they've already got artificial intelligence writing their articles because this is clearly a hallucination of the New York Times. So DeSantis presents his COVID strategy not only as his biggest accomplishment, but as the foundation for his presidential campaign. And that's a very important thing. You know, he's had some good issues. And again, he's had some really bad issues as well.

He's a mixed thing. But you don't want to look at most of these candidates. I don't see any good issues at all with them. It's like Democrats, you know, it's a, and I would say that about Chris Christie or Pence or anything. They, you look at on an issue by issue basis. I have nothing there that I can agree with. The only thing I agree with Chris Christie on is his assessment of Trump.

He's been spot on with that, but in terms of what he wants to do to actually govern the country, he's no different from Trump. That's the interesting thing about all this stuff. On a Saturday in September 2020, with COVID-19 killing more than 600 Americans daily and hundreds of thousands of deaths still to come, Dr. Burks, Deborah Burks,

a member of the White House Corona Task Force, you know, somebody that Trump put there, somebody that Trump kept there, heard her cell phone ring, and it was Dr. Scott Rivkes, the Florida Surgeon General, and he was distraught. He said, you won't believe what happened, he told her. Months before the COVID vaccines would become available, remember, this is September of 2020. This is two months before the election.

DeSantis had decided it was over for Florida, he said. DeSantis had begun listening to doctors who believed the virus's threat was overstated and no longer supported preventative measures like limited indoor dining and all the rest of the stuff. He was going his own way on COVID. No, actually, he was following the evidence, following what everybody saw. Nearly three years later, the governor now presents his COVID strategy. Not only is as big as accomplishment, but the foundation for his presidential campaign, he argues that Florida got it right.

Well, I think it'd be more of eventually got it right. More or less. They're still allowing the vaccine out there. He still isn't going to war with it. See, this is where I think by pulling back a little bit, not just a little bit, but by pulling back and saying, okay, we're going to say this isn't necessary and effective for young kids. They're not at risk, and we don't recommend that you get the vaccine.

He doesn't point out how it's the bioweapon. And he says, well, I would like for the Supreme Court, the Florida Supreme Court, to convene a grand jury investigation of this stuff to see if we've been had on this. Well, you're the governor. You do it. And if he would have gone on offense against these people instead of just trying to pull it back into a neutral thing. Well, we're not going to follow them into this, but we're not going to really wholeheartedly oppose them either. That's his big problem. Now he's done some good stuff there. Uh, no doubt

about it. Uh, better than the other ones, but you know, again, um, and the classroom, even the New York times admits that it was a good thing to send the kids back to school. National research, they said, has suggested there was less learning loss in the school districts with more in-person instruction. But on the single factor that those experts say mattered the most on widespread vaccination, can you believe that the New York Times here in July of 2023 is still selling the idea that the vaccines were effective. Can you believe that? Can you believe the dishonesty? Can you believe the naivete of the New York Times readers? What absolute garbage. Evidently, they're staking their reputation on this stuff, but there's nothing left of their reputation.

They said on the key issue that mattered the most, widespread vaccinations, DeSantis' approach proved deeply flawed. While the governor personally crusaded for Floridian 65 and older to get the shots, see, that's what I have a problem with, he laid off the once younger age groups became eligible. He laid off of it. You know, again, DeSantis should have called out the pharma grift. DeSantis should have called out the mass murder. In the same way that Christie calls out the Trump grifts,

DeSantis should have called out the pharma grifts. So we're going to take a quick break here. On Rockfin, thank you very much, Ben. I appreciate that. Thank you for the tip. And on Rumble, conservative thinker, thank you for the tip again. He says, okay, so your problem with red flag laws is that the people who enforce them don't tend to have common sense. Point taken. Well, I just think that it is the fact that people are dangerous. Guns are not dangerous in and of themselves. Guns are a good thing when responsible people have them. They can save lives with guns.

But the red flag stuff, I have a whole problem with the whole legal issue about that, just categorically, you know, again, you know, there are already procedures out there where you can identify dangerous people and you can put them in an insane asylum or whatever. And that's what needs to be done. Uh, if the person is dangerous, they don't need to be at large where they can kill people with anything they can get. Uh, and this is, you know, the red flag stuff is just a way to come after gun owners. It really is. Um, and to take guns away from people. And, um, and there have been people who have, uh, had a situation with SWAT teaming is always a dangerous thing. Uh, many

times people think they're being invaded. It's a house invasion. They pick up a gun. They get killed. I've seen this happen. This is one of the first stories where I found out about civil asset forfeiture. There was a guy who had, his last name I think was Scott, and he was in California. It's been about 30 years now. So my memory is a little bit foggy on it. But the key aspect of what happened with it was that the state of California wanted some of his land. It was adjacent to a park, and they wanted that land. He was fighting them over eminent domain and the rest of this stuff.

And so they sent their drug patrols over his land, and they said, oh, we spot some marijuana growing down there on the, you know, I don't know how many hundreds of acres he had. And so they sent a SWAT team in and crashed into his house. And this is in the early 90s. And he hears the crash and people in the house. He comes down the stairs with his gun in his hand, and they shot him dead. And then they took the land. And so, you see, that's the problem.

When you start SWAT teaming people, a lot of these red flag things are SWATing people. There's a real concern that, you know, the whole red flag law stuff can just be a way of SWATing somebody. Angry Tiger, good to see you there. Thank you so much for the tip on Rockfin. I appreciate that. By the way, just want to remind people, help us to get the program to spread. If you think it's valuable information that is here, please like the stream. Please pass on to other people.

But if you like and rate the stream on the places where it is, whether you watch it on video or whether you listen to it with a podcast, that helps us a great deal. Also, don't forget that Gerald Salenti has kindly offered to help us as well as help you if you get Trends Journal. And Trends Journal is excellent. Gerald has always been ahead of the curve. I mean, predicting the CBDC stuff three and a half years ago, I said, yeah, we're going to tell you, don't touch the money. It's dirty. He goes, you know why they're doing that? You know, you're going to get cooties off the money. Well, they want you to have a completely digital trash currency and so forth. They want to cash the society.

Talking about commercial real estate, many of these other things. He's been ahead of that. So you can get 10% off a trends journal. If you go to trendsjournal.com and type in the code word night. And, um, also Tony Arterman, uh, David night dot gold. He set up to take you to his website and,

Tony and guard are going to be, uh, uh, doing the show next week. I'm not sure how they're splitting it between them. Uh, I'm going to talk to them later today, but you know,

guard's going to be doing, I think most of the hosting, he's got some great guests lined up. I know, uh, we're going to be going to, um, after the show tomorrow,

we're leaving for Texas, uh, long hot drive I know, uh, we're going to be going to, um, after the show tomorrow, we're leaving for Texas, a long hot drive. And then, uh, it's 106 every day there. They're projecting in terms of, uh, but at least it's not an outdoor wedding. She wanted to do that. And so we talked out of the outdoor wedding. Um, everybody would look like it was, uh, it was just a wedding where you were having this at a pool because everybody looks like they're all wet, you know, it's, uh, uh, but we'll be gone for about a week. And so they've been very kind to take the show. So it'll be new content. It'll be up to date and a lot of good interviews are scheduled. And, uh, but, um, yeah, uh, if you go to a David

Knight dot gold, that'll take you to Tony Arterburn's wise wolf dot gold and, um, you know, start making preparations for yourself. We're going to take a quick break and we will be right back. uh Thank you. Analyzing the globalist's next move. And now, The David Knight Show. Before I get back in the news, I have a couple of interesting things still as part of the election. And then I want to talk a little bit about some conspiracy theories of both the left and the right that have come out recently. And how we need to be careful about how we embellish things, make sure that we've got, you know, we're not being played by somebody who's feeding us false information, playing to our political perspective or our political biases or something like that. But before we get back into the news, I just wanted

real quickly to thank some of the people who have donated on Zelle. And I've got some people here that I've not mentioned their names going back to the last couple of days of August. So I wanted to give them a shout out and thank them. Thomas O., thank you very much. Brian P., Kevin R., G, Kyle H, Matthew S, Gretchen C, Gregory N, J H, Manny D, Michael L, William W, Tiffany A, Kevin H, Aaron Gale, and we'll leave it at that. We've got a few more people here. We've got about another 10 to catch up with, and some of them, like J.H. and Gretchen C., have another person on here, donated twice this month. Manny D. also did, as well as William R. So thank you very much. And again, if you want to know where you can donate, if you would like to support the program, you can donate on Rumble or Rockfin, as we've seen here.

But there's also some links if you would like to donate on Zelle. Cash App, for some reason, we can't figure out why a lot of people are not seeing it. People who have donated to us in the past on Cash App can still do it. But when people go in and search for it, they're not finding it. So Cash App is another place where you can donate, but that doesn't seem to be, search function seems to be turned off for me on Cash App. But on Zelle, it still works. They're closing it down. This is the choke point stuff. PayPal, you know, when I was only here for five or six months, they shut PayPal down on me. So we don't know really what's going to happen it down. This is the choke point stuff. They're PayPal. You know, when I was only here for five or six months, they shut PayPal down on me. So, uh, we don't know really what's going to happen

with this stuff. But again, thank you to those of you who have supported us on Zelle as well. Chris Christie over the weekend was talking about the Trump family. And you know, this is the third time, at least that I know of that he's talked about the Trump family being grifters. And I think he's spot on about that. Like I said, I didn't agree with Chris Christie on any of his policies. He's a big government warmonger, drug warrior, and all the rest of this stuff, prohibitionist. Uh, he, um, in terms of, uh, gender mutilation, he thinks that parents, uh, that parents should be able to mutilate their kids. And he doesn't think that, you know, along the same lines of Trump, he believes that protecting babies from being aborted when they've got a heartbeat, he thinks that's too harsh. So, I mean, you know, there's a, there's not really any policy there that I would, and he's kept quiet about CBDC. Uh, during the pandemic, he was scolding people for not wearing a mask and all the rest of this stuff. So, you know, Chris Christie,

I agree with him about as much on policy as I agree with Biden, which is 0%. Uh, but when he talks about Trump, uh, he's got Trump's number's number you know he knows that it's a crime family he locked up jared kushner's father that was then you know pardoned and had his um his record sponged by trump you know uh while he was there but he said um in his initial speech if you remember i played that for you he said the grift in this family is just amazing. He says, well, maybe Jared Kushner is one of the smartest people on earth because he just got billions given to him from the Saudis. Or maybe he's trading on influence there.

And then last week he was talking about how Trump had lured people into January the 6th and said it was a grift, which is what I've been saying as what I was saying when I got fired two weeks before January the 6th. I said, you're being lured in. It's going to destroy your life. It's going to be used to destroy the conservative movement. And you're not going to get anything resolved. This is simply to make money for Trump and for Alex. And so the stop the steal was what Alex had,

and save America was what Trump had. So Chris Christie, yet again, has called out Trump, this time over what he's currently doing with Save America and his fundraising. Remember, after the election, Trump made $250 million by defrauding his followers. They thought they were going to help him to fight the election stuff. Trump never even made an effort to do that. As a matter of fact, the first $8,000 that you would give to Save America, thinking that you're going to fight the election corruption, the first $8,000 would go to Trump. And then he gave a cut to the RNC. If you gave $8,001 to Trump,

$1 would go to fight the election or to audit the election or whatever. And the other 8,000 go to Trump and the RNC. And now he's kind of doing it again. As Chris Christie pointed out, uh, Trump is diverting money that's raised in this current presidential campaign. He's diverting that to cover legal fees. He said, grifting is a Trump family tradition, and the latest scam is his campaign. This self-proclaimed billionaire is swindling 50% of his campaign donations to pay for his personal legal

fees. We don't need a con artist. We need somebody who can beat Biden. Trump reportedly put over half of the funds raised for his 2024 presidential campaign into a political action committee to cover his personal legal fees, says the Washington Examiner. Trump raised over $35 million between March and June, and the presidential campaign received $17.7 million of those funds, while the rest of it went to his political action committee, Save America, the same one that took the first $8,000 that anybody sent in to audit the election. He kept it for himself personally. So findings show $16 million from the Save America PAC was used for legal-related payments in 2021 and 2022, and it is still going on.

Chris Christie had more to say when he was on CBS this weekend and he was being interviewed by Margaret Brennan, who I got to say is one of the most annoying people out of a lot of annoying people in the media. I think she is one of the most annoying. She first asked him about Hunter Biden and Chris Christie said, well, he says, I've been a prosecutor. He said, I was a prosecutor in the biggest district. And he said, the notion that this guy Weiss, right, who's the subject of these IRS whistleblowers, the notion that he's going to take five years and then wind up charging the guy with two misdemeanors. He says, you don't take five years to do something like this.

He said, this is fishy and needs to be investigated. And so then Margaret Brennan comes back and says, well, you know, just so that you know. As if he didn't know. Weiss was appointed by Trump. And Christie comes back and goes, I don't care who appointed him. You know, if he's not doing the job, it doesn't make any. And we have this all the time. It's an admission from her that we expect our judges to be completely political appointees.

And they should toe the line. Well, that never happens for Republicans, does it? It does for the Democrats. They get what they expect. You're always going to have the Democrat appointed judges. You're always going to have them tow the line, tow the constitution to an authoritarian government. They always do that. They're reliable about that. You never know though, with the Republicans what you're going to get. They're like a box of chocolates, you know, as horse Gump would say. And, uh,

so you never know where they're going to go. Uh, case in point here in Tennessee, you had a Trump appointedappointed judge who said, no, this Tennessee law saying that we're not going to allow mutilation of minors or this gender stuff, we're not going to allow that. And so a Trump-appointed judge said, that's not fair. You're treating these transgender kids differently than you are cisgenders. It's like, it's the most absurd ruling I've ever seen in my life. He was Trump appointed.

And then it goes to the appeals court and the appeals court obviously shot him down with prejudice. And, uh, two judges, um, there that were in the majority, uh, one of them was appointed by Trump and one was appointed by George W. Bush. But again, it's not reliable to know what somebody's doing and they have to stand on the merit of their decision, not who appointed them. And so that's what Christie pointed out. And then she turned the subject to Trump. And she said, well, the former Vice President Pence was on another network this morning. He said, while the former president's actions on January the 6th are reckless, he's not convinced that they're criminal. Are you convinced that they're criminal?

And why do you think other Republicans are moving away from this traditional sort of law and order identity that they typically embraced in the past. Christie said, look, I think because they're afraid of Trump. And the fact is, I don't know. And I want to see any indictment that may come. And when I do, Margaret, I'll be happy to come back on and give you a good evaluation of what I think is the effectiveness of the charges if they come. But what I will tell you, he said, I heard Tim Scott yesterday saying it's not really the president's fault.

Well, the president invited them there. He incited on January the 6th. He incited them by telling them that the election had been stolen. And then he requested that they march up to the Capitol. And, of course, like Donald Trump said, that he would march up with them. And immediately he marched right back to the safety of the White House and watched what went on. He said, I want to see, however, what the evidence is the special counsel has before I make that decision. I think that's the wise thing to do, but please. He says, I'm disappointed in Tim that he would be sitting out there saying it's really not the president's

responsibility. The president invited them there. The president lied to them. The president told them the election was stolen. And then the president sat there in the white house and did nothing. But you know, it's Ray Epps. It's Ray Epps who did it. And the president didn't do it. And all these people making money, sending people to January says, we're going to stop them.

You know, there's no way that Biden is going to get in the white house. We're going to make sure that doesn't happen. So show up on January the sixth, send me happen. So show up on January the 6th, send me the money, and show up on January the 6th. These people are like grifting televangelists. And, you know, but it's Ray Epps. Ray Epps. As I said before, it doesn't really matter to me whether Ray Epps is a Fed or not because he's a scapegoat for these people.

You know, they don't have to talk about their culpability in terms of telling everybody, oh, this election just is rigged. Well, you got some receipts here. They've never shown us the receipts that they have for that. There's been some things that were shut down in Michigan and a couple of other jurisdictions. And yes, there's evidence that we know how this thing is rigged from the very beginning, from ballot access, from debate access and the rest of this stuff. We know that the capability that they can rig the elections, but they never did anything to prove any of this stuff to anybody. Why? Well, because, you know, all the money that was being sent in was going into Trump's pocket.

You know, what was it that Alex was supposed to be doing with Stop the Steal? Was he supposed to be, he never even pretended that he was hiring any lawyers to do anything. I don't know what the people were thinking when they sent him money for that. And I called it out as a grift. And I don't blame him for firing me. It just surprised me that he waited six months after I started calling it a grift to fire me. Anyway, energy industry donors who once supported Trump are now funding his rivals. And I've got to say, and I've said it before, I think the best thing about the Trump administration was the energy policy.

They did a lot of good things. And it was because of the guy that he put in there as head of the, I think he was head of the EPA, not the Department of Energy, Scott Pruitt, who was an Oklahoma attorney general who had fought the Obama administration on all of these green things. And he was very good. And then they essentially hounded him out of office

with harassment charges about things that were not substantial, even if they were true. And so there was some good energy policy. You know, we became self-sufficient in energy during the Trump administration. It was the only good appointee, in my opinion, that Trump had. And he didn't stay there for the entire there for the entire administration of Trump. And his replacement was really bad, by the way, just so you know. And so maybe for that reason, as well as their assessment as to Trump's ability to win, I think when you look at the people who supported him significantly, the energy industry people, and the fact that they are turning away from him, these are people who follow the election a lot closer than the man on the street.

They're looking to get something out of this. And they had been giving a lot of money to Trump, and they're not doing that this time around. They're flocking to his competitors, says this article from the New American. The simple explanation is that Trump has issues, a Texas lobbyist told Politico. It's kind of like a car that's not quite in good shape, and it's not going to go, and now you've got to take it on a road trip. There's going to be problems. As a consequence, donors are spreading their wealth.

And so you look at some of his chief supporters in the past. Harold Hamm is one of them. Oil and gas magnate, a billionaire, a prolific GOP donor who previously plowed $70,000 into a pro-Trump joint fundraising committee in 2020, but he's not given any money to Trump. Instead, he's given $6,600 each to DeSantis and to Nikki Haley. Well, you talk about somebody who has taken us straight into World War III. It's Nikki Haley. DeSantis also has received cash from some pipeline moguls in Midland Energy.

Kelly Craft, who served as a U.N. ambassador under Trump after Nikki Haley left, and her coal executive husband, Joe Craft, have not given any money to Trump in this cycle. Instead, they've donated to DeSantis and to Pence. Maybe they're the only ones who gave any money to Pence. Well, it isn't on the amount of money, but it's on the number of donors that you have. He still has not qualified for the debates based on the number of donors that he's got. He also gave money to Ramaswamy and even to Christie. So they said it's not unheard of at this stage of the race for donors to spread their

donations around multiple candidates. Former allies of Trump told Politico this time around, though, they'd prefer to see somebody else represent the party against Joe Biden. Yeah, you know, kind of the definition of insanity is to keep doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. Trump's support has been disastrous for control of the Senate in two elections and nearly cost the control of the House. I mean, you look at the big red wave,

everybody was disappointed with Biden, but you look at the people that Trump picked, they're rhinos to the extreme. One last thing before we leave this and we start to talk about the things that are going to more directly affect us. CBDC, says DeSantis, is, quote, a massive threat to American liberty.

He says he will destroy it on day one of his presidency. I think it's important, these types of things, these types of issues are important that they get out there. Even if, you know, these people are a mixed bag. You know, we've got RFK Jr., you've got DeSantis, you've got Ramaswamy.

They're talking about CBDC. None of the rest of them are, by the way. And that's a real frightening thing. This ought to be a no-brainer for people to understand just how bad this is. And if you want to know how bad it is and how personality and, and MAGA has shut down any real discussion of issues, I was just absolutely stunned when DeSantis came out as the first candidate to oppose CBDC and And he held a special press conference, and he had a podium there that said, Stop Digital Big Brother Money.

And he gave his presentation about CBDC, talked about how they were going to change the UCC code to prohibit it and to enable crypto, which is exactly the opposite of what the Biden administration had sent, or not necessarily just the Biden administration. I mean, it could have been the American Legislative Exchange Council, ALEC, send out some legislation and said, here, that's the type of thing that you see coming from ALEC.

They put together a piece of legislation, hand it out to all of these people, typically Republicans, and they say, put the name of your state at the top and sign it at the bottom and turn in your homework. This is what we'd like for them to do. And so there's 25 plus states that have been delivered that stuff. And if you remember, Christine Ohm talked about it. She said, I vetoed it. She didn't say who was feeding this model legislation to them. But DeSantis did it the opposite. He didn't just veto it.

He said, we're going to do just the opposite. This legislation was going to make CBDC legal tender and prohibit crypto. He said, we'll do the opposite. We'll prohibit CBDC and we'll make crypto legal tender. But when he gave the presentation, all they wanted to talk about, all the press wanted to talk about was Donald Trump and his legal issues. What's going on in Manhattan? What's happening with this Manhattan district attorney? And then even though he said, well, I think he's being overcharged and all this stuff, well, are you going to extradite him? No, I'm not going to

extradite him. And MAGA and Trump went off on him as if he was the guy who was prosecuting Trump. So they don't talk about the issues, and then they make it all about, well, DeSantis is with the prosecutor, all the rest of this stuff. It's just amazing to me. This is being shut down now by the grassroots MAGA people. It's not just the media that's shutting down any discussion of issues. Because it's all got to be about this person, the person, Donald Trump. Regarding the potential implementation of CBDC,

the governor strongly opposes it, expresses his intention to block its adoption at the state and the national level. He said the federal government has a responsibility to protect us from foreign threats, but to turn the government on to the American people, that's the worst nightmare of the founding fathers. He said the Fed might's the worst nightmare of the founding father. He said the Fed might try to do something unilaterally. He said, if I'm president on day one, we will nix CBDC. Done. Dead. Not happening. They want to get rid of cash. They want no cryptocurrency. They want CBDCs to be the sole form of legal tender. It will allow them to prohibit undesirable purchases like fuel and ammunition. He said it is a massive threat to American liberty.

Well, you don't usually hear presidents use that word. Liberty. They use threats. They talk about threats all the time. They never talk about liberty. It's always about that. And so I see that as a positive thing. Again, Ramaswamy is talking about that. And so I see that as a positive thing. Again, Ramaswamy is talking about it.

RFK Jr. is talking about it. As RFK Jr. says, CBDCs are instruments of control and oppression that are certain to be abused. The really scary thing is how the vast majority of candidates are not talking about it. And the really scary thing is that, you know, the vast majority of politicians in both parties want it. That's why this election isn't necessarily going to do it for us. That's why if you want to protect yourself, again, physical gold and silver that you hold and or Bitcoin or something like that is key, but especially the physical gold and silver. Don't forget to go to davidknight.gold

to take you to Tony Aardman. We'll be right back. Thank you. you're listening to The David Knight Show. All right, welcome back. You know, we've seen a lot of panic when you come to the climate agenda, and I thought it was really funny to see this news article here. Forget the bears. You know, we had a movie, 1985, the incident of a black bear that got into some cocaine and that went on a tear, literally. And, you know, they did the comedy horror film Cocaine Bear, right?

Well, now you've got a couple of people who are fishing around literally in the ocean saying, well, look at all these chemicals that are dropped in there. You know, we have a lot of cocaine that's ditched by drug smugglers on route to the U.S. Maybe the sharks are getting this. Maybe that's why we're having more shark attacks. Maybe it's like, oh, I don't know. We're going to have like kind of like Sharknado.

You know, maybe we're going to have um uh the uh some kind maybe they're on ssris who knows um they turn them into uh killing sharks but um it's not just that there's constant fear about everything you know not just a sharknado uh but we've also got a tornado. And I was going to talk about this on Friday. And I thought it was pretty amazing to see that there was, uh, there were people on Twitter who are pushing the idea that, Oh, this, this,

a Pfizer plant in North Carolina, it really wasn't hit by a tornado. And there were a lot of people pushing this on Thursday. So I was going to talk about it on Friday. I never got around to getting to that. But the idea that this was something that was done by white hats, because the good thing is, is that this is a major hub for Pfizer, and it's going to put a kink in them being able to distribute their poison. But yeah, there was, unfortunately, and I picked up a lot of, uh,

still pictures of what had happened with a tornado. You know, we look at it, here's not just Pfizer. They said, Oh, look, it only hit part of Pfizer. Didn't tear the roof all the way off. And, and it seemed to be located, you know, just, just, um, uh, part of the facility was damaged. But you can see that there's a lot of pictures of things that were happening in other places, and that's kind of typical of a tornado. But then there was also, this was sent to me by Roy, the weather bureau, got some dash cam footage from a car that was parked in the Pfizer parking lot and showed what was happening as the building was being hit with a tornado. You can see the debris flinging around. And so here's that

video. Only the hinges started to unhitch. Just then, the witch, to satisfy an itch, went flying on her broomstick, thumbing for a hitch. And oh, what happened then was rich. The house began to pitch, and the kitchen took a switch. It began to sound so wicked rich in the middle of the ditch. What? What kind of healthy situation was the wicked witch? Yeah, so those of you who are listening and wondering what is that about? No, that actually is just a soundtrack from WizzRoll.

I actually showed the actual footage of it hitting. And there was also other footage where you could see this is the guys talking about what had happened in the area. Because the roadways are unsafe. You have power lines down. We have an area where we have a gas leak. And you can see that there was a lot of things besides Pfizer that was damaged. And this is typical of tornadoes. You know, you have situations, a lot of times you have tornadoes that are spawned off of a hurricane in Florida.

And they might wipe out. I remember when I went through Homestead, it wiped out just everything. And several miles swath was just leveled to the ground. But that's not always the way that it is with tornadoes. A tornado hit our house when I was in elementary school. I remember I was in, you know, the elementary school was just a few blocks from our home. And I remember, you know, how violent the storm was. By the way, you know, in, in Florida,

we didn't have air conditioning until I got into high school. And so, uh, they had, um, the entire wall was like jealousy windows where they would open them up, you know, they close them down because of the rain. But if that thing had hit, that would have been glass flying everywhere. Uh, but it actually, one of them hit our house and only tore off the back porch and then threw it board by board on my sister's Edsel in the front yard. It was my first experience with safety glass, because even though it had shattered it into a million pieces, it was still all intact and you couldn't get inside the thing.

But it just went down the neighborhood, and it would hit a house or part of a house here, and it would skip across the street like five houses down and hit something else. And, you know, this is typical of what happens with a tornado unless it is a big wall of tornadoes that spawned off of a hurricane or something like that. One other story, when we had our video stores

one of the guys that we hired had been down at a shopping center that was hit with the tornadoes and and raleigh back in the mid 80s and um they did a lot of damage and it went into this one shopping center the um just a little strip center center is basically just Walmart. And then there was a strip of shops that were lined up at a right angle to it. And he was a manager at the time of a different video store. And he said he went into work that morning and he didn't notice that the Walmart was gone. And that's, and if you knew this guy, you would understand that's perfectly believable. I mean, he was nice guy guy, and we kept him for a long time, as long as he wanted to work for us.

But, you know, he was not somebody who was really very alert and noticed very many things. That was a bit of a problem. But, you know, he drives up, and the entire Walmart is gone, which is bigger than all the other shops. Like I said, that are in the strip at a right angle to it. So he pulls up and he said he didn't notice it was there. And he gets out of the car and he walks over to the video store and he puts the key in to unlock it. And he looks over to his left and he said, there was a twig that had gone

through the glass and was stuck halfway through the glass. And he thought, that's odd. He said, he looked a little bit further to his left and the Walmart was gone. That's the way he saw it. My point is, is that, uh, you know, people are constantly focusing on something and the same way the government is constantly trying to push out fear. Uh, these people can always also be trying to push out some fake stuff. And if we go along with it, then they use that to discredit us. So just be careful about that. I get people sending me stuff like this,

and I wanted to talk about it on Friday, but I didn't. This, however, is kind of interesting. This shows the mass hysteria that has been exploited with both the climate change as well as the COVID pandemic, so-called. This is from Eugipius, the Great Berlin Lion Panic of 2023. He says, all of this is true. All these details come from breathless online blogs of events as they unfolded on Thursday and Friday. At 5 a.m. on Thursday morning, a grainy video purporting to show a lioness in the woods near Kleinmachnau, a town in the district of Potsdam-Middelmark near Berlin, made the rounds on German Twitter. Authorities, who he said alas are also

on Twitter, deemed the footage to be genuine and they ordered a massive search for the hostile carnivore involving at points at least two helicopters and a hundred or more policemen. Officers inquired at zoos and circuses for missing animals, but all the local lions were accounted for. A local veterinary office explained that it was most likely an illegally kept pet which had escaped. As the search continued to come up empty, a police spokesperson explained that the lion had likely found a nice wooded place to sleep. Municipal officials in the hardest-hit area of Kleinmachnau told journalists that they would order no closures, at least for the moment. Daycares would continue to operate, but children should not leave the yard, nor should merchants set up their usual stands at the local Thursday market.

Police reported they were happy to see residents following their lockdown recommendations and journalists confirmed that hardly anybody was to be seen on the streets. The press speculated about whether the lion would have to be shot and officers armed with machine pistols patrolled the roads and the woods. Journalists assured their readers in order, and orderly ranks, uh, but instead they carefully staggered so that if the lion that they were not in orderly ranks, but they staggered so that if the lion were to stage an ambush, it could take no more than a few of them out at once. Many residents said they had hadn't even heard anything about a lion. Only a few dog walkers could be found to voice the vague anxiety that it might eat their pets. Many residents said they hadn't even heard anything about a lion.

Only a few dog walkers could be found to voice the vague anxiety that it might eat their pets. Mysteriously, right after these reports of indifference hit the internet, lion sightings began occurring in South Berlin. Police deemed them to be credible, quote-unquote, and they dispatched armed units to investigate. Other sightings sent officials to a cemetery in Zehlendorf. Police vehicles entered the grounds to defend the graves, and the gates were sealed. Back in the Kleinmachnau Red Zone, meanwhile,

police announced that they would deploy their only armored vehicle, a Rhine metal survivor in the hunt for the lurking lioness, who at this point, presumably, was considered to be armed. With the search still fruitless by noon on Friday, Kleinmachnau announced that it would cancel the first major events, an outdoor cinema and a concert would be held over the weekend indoors instead of on Friday evening outside. A mere half hour after canceling the outdoor events, the mayor's lion

farce fell apart. The battle-hardened mayor was compelled to convene yet another press conference, this one rather more awkward than his earlier performances. The animal experts he'd finally bothered to speak with had explained to him that the video which set off the panic did not depict a lion, but an ordinary boar of the kind which roam the woods of Europe in abundance. They're not generally dangerous. They eat mainly roots, nuts, and garbage. He said, as I type this, team panic clings desperately to their cat hunt. And they said they've looked for hair and feces samples secured by the police, and they are undergoing laboratory testing.

Results won't be available until Monday, so there is still some hope that a lion may be at large. Tiger Spiegel has unearthed, the newspaper, a random veterinarian named Michela Ebeling to insist that the video really does depict a lion. Really, it does. Wasn't that interesting? A lion that we have a lot of veterinary experts say no that's simply a boar and they actually showed a picture i don't know if you pull that up i was reading it they showed the contours yeah of the of the lion versus or the so-called lion versus a real lion uh versus a

boar and said yeah you know this is not what we're looking at here And yet the government did all the lockdown stuff and they want to keep pursuing this. Remember what Hitchcock said about lion hunts on the Scottish Highland. What's that package above your head there? And the other man said, oh, that's a MacGuffin. He said, what is a MacGuffin? He said, well, it's an apparatus for trapping lions in the Scottish Highlands. I said, but there are no lions in the Scottish Highlands. He said, then that's no MacGuffin. Thank you for clearing that up for us. Yeah, yeah. Well, there's no lions in the highlands of Berlin either. But, you know, that doesn't stop these people from panicking everybody with social media,

mainstream media, and all the political officials and the police. The only people that didn't get involved in this one this time around were the public health people panicking them. But there's a lot of panic across Europe about using oil. You know, we've got to stop all this. And one of the most obnoxious ones, and I have not played pictures of these people before just because it is so obnoxious. These are the just stop oil people. And as you see them doing this, here they are. Just get in front of the road and sit down.

This guy's had enough. He gets out of his car, he's just dragging them over. They're trying to do kind of a sit-in like you used to have, you know, in the 60s at universities. But they just get in the way and he's running out of time. Don't you dare get in the way again. He's trying to clear these people out of the way. Here comes another motorist. He's dragging them off.

These people sat there in their orange belts, vests, and they said, just stop oil. Well, it gets actually worse than that. There was one in particular that was really outraging. And, of course, they just blocked this stuff and just sat there forever. One of them though, a second car back, a person got out and said, I've got a sick baby. I've got to get to the hospital. Get out of the way. They wouldn't get out of the way. I'm sorry. I got the wrong one. Here we go. my baby's in the car get out of the way now i'm gonna get to the hospital they don't care

they don't care these people who uh oh we got to save the earth we got to save humanity they don't care about saving a baby none of this. And what they're doing in this particular case is what they typically do. They get out and they just get in a mass and walk extremely slowly. Instead of sitting down, they walk extremely slowly and defy you to run over them. Which, if you look at the social media contents, most people would have been happy to do that. And they're getting, you're saying people get out of their cars and drag these people off by their hair.

I mean, these other things I can certainly understand the frustration of furious German work, a woman, uh, grabbed one, just stop oil, female protester and drug her off by her hair off the side of the road.

Uh, the, um, and this is happening in the UK and in Germany primarily. And I've shown the pictures of the people who glued themselves to the road and then they came by and chipped up the road and they still got their hands glued to it. Good luck getting your hand off of that thing.

I just want to give people a warning. If I'm ever in a car with a sick baby, I'm not stopping. That's right. It's going to be 60 miles an hour the whole way through. That's what, what most of the people said. Yeah. You can join me at the hospital and then we'll,

we'll talk about this with the jury afterwards and see if it's justified. Uh, now anti-environmentalists in the UK have organized into a counter protesting group. These people call themselves just stop oil. Uh, they went out with orange vests like this and shirts, and on their shirts it said, Just Stop Pissing Everyone Off. So you had a bunch of these people who were getting ready to do their protest, and this counter-protest group surrounded them as they were sitting on a sidewalk,

surrounded them and would not let them leave. Pointing the same types of tactics to them and had them sit there while they lectured them. In a brief video posted to Twitter, the seated protesters can be heard making their case to their opposition. One woman even drew applause from the counter-protester saying, I'd like to see how long you're willing to stand there because this is great for us. We're having conversations and I think it's been so beneficial. We just love this. I'm so glad that you mentioned

this. And so again, this is the insanity. These are the people who are looking for unicorn farts. They're looking for lions in Berlin or lions in the Scottish Highlands. That sounds also like she's going well, you can't fire me. I quit.

This is great. I wanted to do this anyway. Yeah. Now the climate gang is coming for our thermostats. Understand that, right? They're not just coming. They want to shut down the heating. They want to shut down the air conditioning.

They want to shut down our ability to cook. They want to shut down our vehicles. They want to shut down everything. This is part of massive de-industrialization. Nothing short of that. In 2019, Biden pledged, this is from Real Clear Wire, Biden pledged to voters that if elected, he said, quote, we're going to end fossil fuel.

Since taking office, he's done everything to make that true. He has waged all- out war against production, distribution, use of fossil fuels. He's depleted the strategic petroleum reserve. He has used oil as a weapon to the extent that he's destroying the credibility of not just the petrodollar, but of the dollar completely. You know, people don't, you know, petrodollar is for all practical purposes going away, but people don't even want to have anything to do with American dollars because they've seen how it'll be used as a weapon in the same way that Trudeau has used, you know, the banking system as a weapon against people he disagrees with, people who are exercising their free speech rights to protest his policies.

Same way we're seeing happening in the UK with Nigel Farage. They are going to use the financial system as a weapon. They're using it already against individuals, and that's what this is ultimately about. So besides shutting down the pipelines on day one and all the rest of the stuff that he's done, he's now released new regulations to start shutting down the power plants. There's not going to be any power to run your electric vehicle.

And we've said this from the very beginning, Eric Peters and I, well before any of this stuff happened. A series of aggressive regulatory initiatives against gas stoves, furnaces, gasoline, diesel-powered vehicles, gasoline-powered lawn care equipment, wood stoves, and many more. And let me just say this. Do you think that RFK Jr. is going to be any different on this issue? No, he's not. This is an existential issue

for us individually as well as the country collectively. And RFK Jr. is firmly on the wrong side of this, even to the extent that he would throw away the First Amendment over it. And I still say that's what was happening with that. I don't accept his explanation that he wanted to lock up individuals, not just give the death penalty to corporations. And when he talks about the fact that, well, the problem with oil is it's just too heavily subsidized. No, you want to see really heavy subsidies. You want to see malinvestment. You want to see crony capitalism to the extreme. You look at the green agenda.

Look at what is happening with that. So widespread smoke from recent wildfires in Canada have cut solar output across the U.S. northeast by 90%. Isn't that interesting? Because, you know, it's also the green policies that have caused the uncontrollable fires. Caused them to be uncontrollable. Regardless of how they started. And again, I'm not going to get into the conspiracy theories about all this stuff. They could have started naturally.

It could have been arson. It could have been anything that you can imagine that started it. But what keeps them from being put out, what keeps them roaring, are the green forestry policies. And these have been 50 years in the making. And I've talked about that. My uncle, who was a forestry professor, said that's exactly what's going to happen. We talked, Travis and I, talked to a lumberjack up in Oregon.

Ted helped. Yeah. Talked about how, and we've seen this from multiple people. They won't let us go in anymore and take out the dead wood. And so then it becomes fuel for these fires and they become uncontrollable. And that's, what's happening now in Canada, regardless of how it started to sell this normalization of power cuts. Companies have launched sophisticated media programs designed to convince

customers that flick of the switch power is an irresponsible indulgence. That must be foregone. You're not supposed to, again, complete deindustrialization. They're not going to stop at your car. They're not going to stop at your stove. They're going to go for the light switches, right? Even if there's enough power, well, they know, they're laying the groundwork for deprivation,

for austerity, for poverty. Because all of those things, the chaos, the poverty, the austerity, all of those feed their power desire, leaves them in power. So yeah, you want to just be able to flick on something with a flip of a switch? That's irresponsible. That's an indulgence, they said. These are the people who are calling us privileged for everything. They are privileged for the color of our skin. We're privileged because we have electricity. They demand flexibility has to be embraced to save the planet.

To save the planet. We got to save the planet from them. They came for our gas stoves and furnaces. They came for our cars, our trucks, our wood stoves, our fire pits, our lawnmowers, our leaf blowers. And now they're coming for our lights and our thermostats. You know, it's kind of interesting too. Years and years ago, I covered their geoengineering conferences.

And I remember about a decade ago, said, look at this. They even were talking. It's not a question of if they can control the climate, but they're saying, who gets to set the thermostat? This is the disagreement they said at the time. It was about a decade ago. Who gets to set the thermostat?

Some people want it warmer. Some people want it colder. But we got the ability with geoengineering to set the thermostat. Now they're going to go into your house and set the thermostat after they've been rigging things and plan to rig things in the stratosphere. EU electricity consumption, by the way, is going to hit a 20-year low thanks to austerity. People just can't afford it.

But it's beyond what customers, consumers can afford. Two-thirds of the reduction came from shutting down industry, energy-intensive industries last year. They said, hard hit by Biden's decision and the EU's decision to embargo Russian fossil fuels, some of Germany's largest manufacturers, like chemical giant BASF and automaker Volkswagen, have cut down on production at home and announced the construction of new plants abroad because they can't get power.

They have to go to the third world to get power. Because, you know, this is supposedly global warming, but there's not going to be any restrictions on power plants. They don't have to go to the third world to get power. Because, you know, this is supposedly global warming, but there's not going to be any restrictions on power plants. They don't have to be clean. There's no restriction on the number of them. They can have as many of them, and they can be as dirty as they want in India and in China. And so I guess you have to go there to do all your manufacturing from now on, right? And then when you look at the wind power,

the world's biggest wind power projects are now in crisis, says Bloomberg, just when the world needs them the most. No, we don't need them at all. They're not reliable. They're not steady state. They're not economical. They stumble amid inflation, says Bloomberg, and governments want green energy to cut costs and to cut carbon.

Well, is it cutting costs? Not at all. As a matter of fact, it's extremely expensive. Wind and solar are not cheaper than coal and oil. Surprise, surprise. Because you have to build these solar panels, and you have to build these windmills, and they don't last forever.

This article is from the Mises Institute. In his recent address, Biden claimed that wind and solar are already significantly cheaper than coal and oil. This is flat out wrong. Alex Epstein, in his book, Fossil Future, Why Global Human Flourishing Requires More Oil, More Coal, and More Natural Gas, Not Less, explains two facts that are ignored when pretending that wind and solar are cheaper. The first is that solar and wind exist in large

quantities exclusively in places where they're given massive government preferences. You see, this is why what RFK Jr. said in his opening speech when he kicked off his campaign was a total lie. They're given preference. They're given subsidy, far more so than oil and gas. They only exist when they're given massive preferences and massive subsidies. He said, when you look at where solar and wind are used, you will invariably find subsidies. The government forcing taxpayers to give money to solar and wind companies. Often governments actually mandate a certain percentage of solar and wind, my law. And again, when I was working at the American Tradition Institute,

which is now E&E, Energy and Environment, fighting not just to get the hidden secret data from Michael Mann that supposedly ties carbon dioxide content to increasing temperature. Oh, I can't see that. But also fighting against renewable energy mandates. The first ones at the time were in Colorado. Of course, as you see, we didn't win that fight. These significantly cheaper sources only managed to be so when we were paying indirectly for subsidies to make them cheaper. The U.S. Department of Energy lists 1,854 different laws and incentives that are currently

on the books. Energy is one of the most highly regulated markets in existence, all sides of it, to create the appearance that wind and solar energy are cheaper than fossil fuels. Epstein answers the question, Alex Epstein, says that why do supposed alternative energies need so much subsidization if they are so much cheaper? Contrary to the claims of lower cost, the places that use the most solar and wind on their grid

tend to have the highest electricity costs. So you pay in massive subsidies to these companies that are owned by politically connected people, crony capitalism, corruption, if you will. And then what you get in return is higher energy bills. Even if one were to concede that wind and solar are cheaper than coal and oil, they are not. And even if one were to concede that this is solar are cheaper than coal and oil, they are not, and even if one were to concede that this is happening in a free market, it is not, it would still be missing part of the picture.

Even if wind and solar were somehow to have lower costs, they make up for it in the cost of two things, their diluteness and their intermittency. And, of course, they talked a great deal about the intermittency. What I was doing at American Tradition Institute was I was doing the, I was behind the camera and I was doing the, and I did special effects showing what he was talking about in terms of illustrating this and the intermittency saying, look, you know, the problem with both wind and solar

is that they're not capable of operating steady state. And that's not just, you know, the fact that solar doesn't work at night. It varies as well under different conditions. And you have to have a rock-solid grid where everything shuts down. And so what happens is you wind up having the fossil fuel plants, which are reliable and steady state, you wind up speeding them up, slowing them down, increasing, decreasing them.

And he says it's essentially like driving a car and stop-and-go traffic inside of a city and you're going to wind up using a lot more like a lot more fuel doing that and that's essentially how they have to use the existing power plants to speed them up so the man speed them up so I'm down and they use a lot more energy in that way but then what about the dilute nests, and they use a lot more energy that way. But then what about the diluteness here? Well, they require a lot more land per unit of energy than fossil fuels do. They require more mining-intensive resources.

Ten times more mined materials are needed than when building the infrastructure for fossil fuels electricity generation. And then there's, of course, the long distance transmission infrastructure cost. In Texas, they spent, I don't know how many tens of billions of dollars, the state did, to build the transmission infrastructure to get the power from these remote wind fields to the rest of the state. And of course, by putting all that money into the wind power, remember back in January of 2021,

how the grid nearly shut down, everybody was out of power for varying amounts of time because the windmills froze and other issues with it. But the key issue with that was the long-distance transmission infrastructure. And by the way, when you transmit stuff, the further you have to transmit it, the greater your line losses. Diluteness poses a major threat to the cost-effectiveness of wind and solar.

But then when we talk about the intermittency, he said you've got three possible approaches to it. Number one, you can rely on a controllable source of energy, such as fossil fuels, like I talked about. You can make that go up and down and make them use more energy than they normally would. Number two, you could rely on diverse, distant, and enormous network of solar panels and wind turbines

so that there is always sufficient electricity from somewhere. By the way, that's never been done. On the coast of Scotland, where they have a lot of wind, they put out in the ocean, they put a wind farm, and then it was going up and down, you know, in its power, like in the sea waves. And so they said, okay, we need to have a bigger field. So they expanded it.

What happened? Well, you still had this up and down movement. It just, the peaks and the troughs got deeper and it didn't smooth it out by putting it over a much larger area. Relying on man-made storage systems is a third approach to store enough intermittent energy to always be able to meet demand. Well, they've not been able to create a network of solar panels and wind stuff that's big enough to get steady state that's not happened they've not come up with any kind of man-made storage system that is big enough to store

everything for the power grid i mean that's the big part it's great to have solar power or wind power to get off of the grid. But the really expensive part when you're doing this for your home is, of course, the batteries and some way to store it. And they've talked about a lot of different schemes where they could do this. Well, maybe while this thing is operating,

we'll spend energy to pump it up and then have a gravity feed to try to smooth this out. But none of that has been done. None of these approaches have proven to be cost-effective. Only the first one, cycling through fossil fuels, is the only one that has been, has shown to work at any cost. So that's where we are with all of this stuff. I need to understand that, again, when you look at RFK Jr., uh, even though I like what he has to say about some things, again, you know, his credentials on some of these are kind of a dodgy, just like the Santas's credentials were, were better on, uh, the vaccine stuff than other people, but, uh, couldn't be a hundred percent trusted on that. Well, same thing is true with RFK Jr. And censorship and, uh, even on the vaccine issues.

And then when it comes to, you know, things like war, as I've said before, he doesn't want to go to war with Ukraine, but he's perfectly fine going to war with God and with families, supporting the LGBT stuff, supporting abortion. He wants to go to war with babies. You know, I'd rather go to war with Russia with nuclear weapons than to go to war with God over those issues. We'll be right back. Thank you. you're listening to the david knight show well we have a a couple of of tips on here and a comment a question uh that someone has here um first of all thank you uh jaybird338 thank you very much for the tip i appreciate that and on rumble super fey thank you very much i really do appreciate that it's very generous uh and writes uh listening to

dk makes this drum break job and 105 degree heat more bearable can't imagine starting my day without the david knight show thank you so much support what you love or it goes away let's get dk to 100 thank you so much i appreciate that super fit uh one thing i wanted to mention oh then then a comment in between those here uh on rumble um uh lick them all i guess is what it is if you can't buy or sell anything but cbdc how are you going to use gold and silver well that's the whole point is their system is going to be based on CBDC. And they're going to say, you can't buy or sell anything with that. But do you understand that what you're trying to do for yourself is to get outside of that system? Yeah, you're going to have to use CBDC inside that system, but gold and silver is for getting out of that system. Very important to do that. As a matter of fact, there was just a recent win for the Amish.

I think about people exiting the system, creating a community, and getting out of that. They just won a big decision. They were trying to force them to have septic fields. And they didn't want to do septic fields. And they didn't want to do septic fields, and they were able to opt out of that. And we need to understand that they are going to control everything if we don't have some kind of alternative. And that's why gold and silver is money that is outside of the control of the bank,

and it is going to be, you know, black market systems exist everywhere. You don't see it that much in the United States, but just think of the attempts to prohibit drug use, for example. They haven't been able to shut that down in 50 years. They keep using more and more draconian processes. And yet I think it's going to be even harder for them if they try to shut down people who are engaging in practices that don't harm them and don't harm other people. Just, you know, doing transactions outside of their CBDC control. One other thing I wanted to mention before we get away from the climate stuff,

one additional article. The Scottish National Party admits to cutting down 16 million trees to develop wind farms in Scotland. Just think about this. You want to talk about heat, right? And you want to talk about how, well, we can't have any cattle because they release methane gas and all this other kind of stuff.

And so we got to get rid of cattle, got to get rid of meat. I want you to eat bugs and everything. What are the bugs going to eat if there's no plants? And what are you going to do if there's no CO2 and you're going to cut down the sunlight? You're going to still have plants that are out there? Oh yeah, we'll put them on grow lights. Where are you going to get the electricity? You shut down the power plants. This is all about depopulation. And it's all about deindustrialization. They want to take us back to the Stone Age.

They want to control everything that we do. And then you look at the insanity of this. To go out and bulldoze massive areas of land in Scotland. I've been to Scotland. Karen and I went to the UK for our honeymoon 43 years ago. And I don't remember a whole lot of trees in Scotland. I remember it being pretty bare. Maybe it's just the areas that we went to.

But I didn't see a whole lot of trees. I mean, it wasn't like Tennessee. 16 million trees, however, they say, have been chopped down on publicly owned land in Scotland to make way for wind farms. A Scottish National Party minister admitted

amidst a major drive to erect even more windmills. 15.7 million trees have been felled since 2000 in land that is currently managed by Agency Forestry and Land Scotland. That's their equivalent of BLM, the Bureau of Land Management, being run. There should be no such thing as government-owned land. A king should not own the forest and tell the peasants that they can't hunt for food or gather firewood and that type of thing. Uh, you know, this is going back to Robin hood days. And of course the BLM in this country was engaged with the, the Bundy's, um, last ranch

left out in that area. They'd run everybody else off already. And that was about Agenda 21 before it became relabeled as UN 2030 Agenda with a time frame on it. The same thing is happening in Scotland. They just got a different name for it. They said, if you look at the time period, and you look at the number of trees that they cut down, they were cutting down equivalent of 1,700 per day.

1,700 per day. 1,700 per day. Oh, that's so green, isn't it? They insisted that there was a planning presumption in favor of protecting woodland, and wind farm developers would be expected to undertake, quote, compensatory planting elsewhere. I'd really like to see that. If they're cutting down 1,700 trees a day, I'd like to see them plant 1,700 trees a day. You think they can do that?

Do you think they can plant 1,700 mature trees a day? See, the insanity of this is that's going to heat things up. The insanity is that the trees are drawing carbon dioxide out of the environment. And they know this. They say, well, you know, you get carbon credits if you plant a tree. Well, what kind of carbon demerits do they have for a government in Scotland that cuts down 1,700 a day, cuts down 16 million over a couple of decades? A Scottish Tory MP said that the public would be astonished at the total and cited concerns about the developments that have been raised with him by communities all over the country, he said.

Also, you have a conservation charity, the John Muir Trust. Who is John Muir? Well, he was a conservationist, and, you know, Muir Woods outside of the San Francisco area, if I remember correctly, a lot of redwoods and everything. It's all about saving trees. They can't believe these people would do this kind of stuff. This is about as stupid. It's so obsessive about the Amazon rainforest and everything. This would be like going down the Amazon rainforest and clear-cutting it so you can put up solar panels. These people are nuts.

They can't even play by their own rules. And this is a key thing. We need to use Saul Alinsky's rules for radicals against these people. They don't play by their rules. And we need to point that out. Make them play by their rules. The Scottish National Party's

wind power target also includes replacing existing turbines that may be coming to the end of their working life already, already. And replacing them with taller and larger versions, they call this process, quote, repowering. Well, here's the issue. This is one of the reasons why wind power is not green, is because they don't last that long. You know, they get lightning strikes, they get frozen bearings and things catch on fire. You've seen this over and over again.

But they don't last forever. That's why it's not free. They're incredibly expensive. They have a limited useful life. And the same thing is actually true of the solar panels. Their capacity goes down after about 20 years. They don't have much output. In the same way that, you know, when you look at your lithium batteries for your phone or your laptop or your car, they have a limited life as well. It's a funny thing about life, you know, after the curse, we live under the second law of thermodynamics. Nothing lasts forever. There's no

such thing as a free lunch, as my engineering professors say. You don't even get to break even. You know, that was his summary of the second law of thermodynamics. Entropy increases, but I think that's a better explanation. There's no free lunch. You can't even break even. Many of the fell trees have been replanted on site they said oh yeah i bet what's the point of that you gotta knock them down and then you're gonna replant them after you put your windmill up i guess right uh nevertheless i said most people will be astonished to see the number of trees cut down to make way for some wind farms i've been contacted many times by rural communities all over the country questioning the location

of these developments, sharing legitimate concerns, not just about the visual impact, but also damage to wildlife and business. There's a lot of damage to people's health as well. That's a real legitimate concern.

But of course, you know, that's who cares about people anymore. We got to be concerned about maybe the trees. Maybe we can get them to stop if we talk about the trees. Now we learn there's significant damage when it comes to trees.

A spokesman said renewable energy generated from wind farms is a key element in Scotland's response to the climate energy and the shift towards net zero and the infrastructure and land that we manage generates enough power for 600,000 homes. Well, there you go, except that, you know, you could have done this in a different way, but they choose not to do that. We're going to take a quick break, and when we come back, let's talk a little bit about cars and about EVs,

because there's a great deal of fantasy involved in that as well. We'll be right back. Using free speech to free minds. It's the David Knight Show. Well, I have an email from Aaron, and he's written me before. He works for Ford. Remember, he's talked about how they have discussed the warranty implications for people speed charging their electric vehicles. And I said, well, maybe we need to track that and adjust the warranty because it really does pull the battery down.

And, you know, when we get to really hot weather, like what is happening in places like Texas now, they've been warning people, said, you know, it doesn't take a charge very well in super hot weather, and it also kills your battery life, especially if you are fast charging in super hot weather. And oh, by the way, don't use your air conditioning in super hot weather. Just like they were telling people, don't use your heater in super cold weather. And it's going to take a very long time for you to charge your car in super cold weather.

As a matter of fact, it may not do it at all because, as we pointed out, both Eric Peters and another individual who wrote about it just this last winter said i was going to use my ev to go visit family and i couldn't charge it because i couldn't get the um couldn't get the battery warm enough that it would even begin to charge it i was trying to use energy to heat the battery but it can't get the battery hot enough to begin the charging process. So Aaron says, um, um, he says, uh, this is Aaron Rockfin chat nights of the storm, Jason, uh, and, um, Angus, he said, um, and he begins by saying, he's, uh, uh, glad to see that scout is doing better. He is doing better.

Um, uh, great dog dog best dog i've ever had he said i'd be lost without my best friend thor and he sent me pictures of his dogs he's got uh three meat uh medium-sized dogs like scout size uh we've got four but three of them are really small so um anyway uh getting to the battery stuff. It says, considering the Ford Model E average selling price was around $58,000 in the first quarter, Ford spent $118,000 on average for every EV it sold, said one report. And those losses are expected to accelerate in the second quarter. Wow. Okay, so they're selling it for

58,000 and, uh, it's costing them 118,000. We're losing money on every single one of these things, but we're going to make it up on volume. Yeah. Okay. Another fun fact, he says, is related to the EV battery production and the 300,000, the government reported, jobs that they quote-unquote create. Approximately half a trillion, you know, $500 billion were invested, squandered into EV battery protection facilities, meaning they spent anywhere from $2 to $7 million per job created. And of course, um, that kind of stuff is happening. We got, as I've talked about the big crony capitalism, uh, that is happening, uh, in North Carolina, you know, they gave massive

subsidies to a Vietnamese electric car company. That's got scammed written all over. You think these people are going to survive? They don't have a history to start with. You're going to spend that kind of money. It's just a bunch of virtue signaling. Oh, look, you know, we're going to have an EV factory in North Carolina. And then here in Tennessee, a big battery facility, and they poured a lot of taxpayer money into subsidies for this stuff as well.

Production workers at DM and LG's new joint venture battery plant in Warren, Ohio, are expected to make $16.50 an hour to start. It's like fast food wages now. Up to $20 an hour after seven years, said the report. At such low wages, the 45-time credit on its own is enough to completely cover these companies' capital investment costs and their total wage bill for the first several years of production. Wasn't that nice for them? So they can pay people super low wages compared to what was typically done in the auto industry. And, you know, with subsidies and stuff like that and lower wages, well, who's going to pay for these EV cars? Because they're now really expensive. They're so expensive that Tesla is now

offering its customers seven-year loans, 84-month loans. Are you still going to be able to afford it even at 84 months? Very different from what Ford wanted to do. Said, I want to make sure that I paid people well to work in the auto plants and said, and I want to make sure they can afford to own the car. Well, they don't care about that anymore. Uh, they don't even want us around anymore. They want us dead. Uh, so, so you mentioned these companies do not care about the consumer's plan to see in the attached article. Why? Uh, since they don't have to

worry about taking any of these losses for, let's say, seven years. And where does that put us on the timeline? Oh, somewhere around the magical 2030 date, if my math is correct. Yeah, that's right. Thank you, Aaron. That is interesting, isn't it? Well, just to show you how ridiculous it's gotten, the District of Criminals, Washington, D.C., is now awarded a convicted felon with a contract for some bogus EV tech. It's also not just the District of Criminals, but it's also the District of Conmen.

In this particular case, this guy's pretty good at what he does. He was able to con the conmen and the District of Columbia. Self-described inventor and convicted felon. It was a jury that described him as a felon. He described himself as an inventor. Lawrence Hartage received a $680,000 contract from the District of Columbia for a small device that he claims increases the range of electric vehicles.

Does this sound familiar? How many times have you seen these little devices that you you know buy by mail and it gets you you know the 200 miles per gallon or something like that right he's basically just spinning this around for the ev crowd local media outlet wsa9 was the first one to shine spotlight on the shady EV deal from DC's Department of Public Works to outfit 40 Chevy Bolt EVs with the energy management module thing that he has created. He claims the device can increase any EV battery's driving range and efficiency by, listen to this, more than 60%. You see, there's certain things like this that are just so over the top, you know, like the claims are being made by the

vaccines and the lockdowns and the masks and all the rest of this stuff. Some of these things are just absurd on the face of them. Yeah, the masks were absurd on the face of it, weren't they? But you just put this in and you're going to get, you're going to increase your range by 60%. And nobody questions it and says, oh, well, so why aren't all the automakers using this thing? Here, we'll give you

a check for a million dollars. Close to it. 680,000. Electrical engineers from the University of Maryland say that's, quote, practically impossible, unquote. Maybe he's got a perpetual motion machine he could sell them as well uh there's not uh there's not technologies that i'm aware of that can really boost that same battery pack to significantly more than the 200 mile range said paul albertus associate director at maryland energy innovation institute he said there's a variety of limitations

just from basic chemical therapy therapy i'm not on vaccines now theory chemical theory there's only so much energy you can store for the materials that you put into a battery WSA contacted General Motors, who make the bolts, asked if they knew of this device. Well, we've not been involved in this project, and we're not aware of any specific technology, they said. Nevertheless, the District of Columbia gave this guy $680,000 for this, that people who know anything about this said it's completely bogus. He was convicted previously of selling unregistered securities from his home state of Mississippi

two decades ago. He served five years in prison and tried to expunge his criminal record in 2021. According to a Jackson Advocate article in 2022, he claimed that he had quote been notified by the university of michigan which is located only 35 miles from his company hardage global manufacturing offices that he is being prepped for a possible nobel prize nomination from the university there he is right there um uh this is the guy who is going to win the Nobel Prize. And the people in Washington, D.C., who gave him $608,000, are going to be nominated for the Boobie Prize.

He says, I interviewed with the University of Michigan last year. I spent about eight hours with them, and they wanted to nominate me for a Nobel Prize. They thought I was the perfect candidate. Yeah, well, there you go. So EVs for everybody, right? The impossible dream. Yeah, he could make a song out of that. Given what goes on with the Nobel Prizes these days,

he probably is the perfect candidate. Yeah, that's right. It could be. Yeah, EV, the possible dream, the impossible dream. Even if you're 100% convinced in man-made climate change, the idea that EVs are going to help reduce CO2 emission is nonsense. And, of course, in this article, they go over the things we've talked about all the time,

the fact that there's no way to know that CO2 emissions are going to go down. Even if you play their game, I say, oh, okay, well, yeah, CO2 emissions are going to cause global warming, which of course we know that's not the case. If that were not the case, then these key scientists as part of ClimateGate would not be so desperate to hide the decline and to manipulate the data that we saw with their emails and the fact that they refused with lawsuits to show you this stuff. So we know that none of this stuff is real, but let's just assume that it is. And we've got to somehow control the unicorn farts. Well, are there more unicorn farts created

when you build an EV than there are with the others? And we've talked about this many times. No one knows whether EVs will reach economic parity with the cars that most people drive. In other words, will we be able to afford them? Well, no, no, we will not be able to afford them. And, um, you know, there's all the issues, the minerals, where are you going to get the minerals? Where are you going to, how are you going to power the grid when they're shutting down the power plants now for the same unicorn fart narrative? Uh, all the rest of this stuff. Well, as this person says says there is no such thing as a carbon-free lunch yeah you don't even get to break even uh so solid state batteries are those going to be

the solution to all of this we'll just apply a little bit of common sense to this right supposedly uh toyota says well we got um you know, these lithium batteries, yeah, they catch fire, and they got all these other issues, but we've got a solid-state battery. That's going to solve all these technological issues. Well, Toyota, as he points out in this article, is so convinced of its solid-state technology that it is still continuing research in hybrids, in fuel cells, in plug-in hybrids, in cells and plug in hybrids and regular batteries and in semi solid state batteries. So in other words, folks, there is nothing that is settled at this point,

but that's the key, right? You can't have something that works. Just like you can't have ivermectin or HCQ, even though they've been around for 60 years or whatever. We know what their side effects are and so forth. You can't try that. You can't use that. You can't, even though we know about the power plants, even though we've been able to clean up the power plant,

you can't have those. You're going to have to have this new solution that's not finished yet. But before you get this new solution that's not finished yet, that's still under development, whether you're talking about the lithium batteries or the solid state batteries, they don't have the solution yet. But before you get this new solution that's not finished yet, that's still under development, whether you're talking about the lithium batteries or the solid state batteries, they don't have the solution yet. And it's not being driven by markets. It's being driven by bribes and by bullying. And so, you know, you've got to just drop what you've got that works now and take this new solution, which has got a lot of problems and doesn't have the bugs ironed out of it,

but you've got to do it right now. There's no time. That's always the case with the MacGuffin, isn't it? Ford is going to lay off at least 1,000 workers as the EV startup Lordstown Motors dies. And the irony of the day is that Biden and the EPA have conspired to force companies to produce more EVs, but they can't force people to buy them. Well, it may be that you can't force people to buy them because maybe they don't have enough money to buy them. Uh,

like I said before, you know, you got, uh, Tesla, uh, They're saying, well, we'll let you borrow money for 84 months. Well, what interest rate? And I'm going to pay for this car for seven years. And how long is the battery pack going to last? Eight years, maybe? Yeah. What am I doing? Renting the car from you is what I'm doing. And so in China, they're going to keep the lights on. They don't consider it to be decadent to be able to flip a switch and get electricity. They're going to keep the lights on. They're going to do it by using coal. And nobody's going to stop them. That's one of the other things. Even these people who are true believers in this religion said, how can you, in the Paris Climate Accord, how can you allow China

and India, the two biggest populations with the dirtiest power plants, how can you allow them to continue to put up power plants that have absolutely no emission controls, going to create massive amounts of smog, which they do in Wuhan and other places? How are you going to allow this environmental stuff said this is nothing more than a wealth transfer to China from the U.S., from Europe, and other places. America's mineral strategy is missing any mining in America. You see, we've got lots of coal. We've got lots of natural gas. We've got lots of oil. But in terms of cobalt, lithium, and rare earth stuff, not so much.

And, you know, we will be dependent on other places. And guess who got there first? China did. Okay, we're going to take a quick break. And just one reminder that if you would like to support us, you'll find the links to Substar at thedavidknightshow.com. That's something that helps us a great deal to know what our budget is going to be. And so we have a lot of different levels that you can get in. You can even get in as low as $5 a month.

And if we can get a lot of people who are interested in the show enough to even spend $5 a month, that would do it for us. But you can find the link to Subscribestar there. And we do put out every day the program for people on Subscribestar that doesn't have any commercials that are added by Spreaker. So there's a few commercials that are now back on with Spreaker. We shut those down for the Pride Month, but they're back now that we have gone past that. So we're going to take a quick break, and we will be right back. សូវាប់ពីបានប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់� you're listening to The David Knight Show. Well, I didn't finish the people who have contributed on Zelle since like the last week of June. Let me continue on with that.

I've got a few more names. I want to read it out because it's the only way we have of thanking people. Jeffrey C., Matthew M., Adam D., Felicia H., David R., Justin L., Noel R., William W., Madison F., and as I mentioned before, we got J.H. and William R. and Gretchen C., who have just in the last couple of weeks made a couple of donations each. I really do appreciate that. Thank you so much. In the time we got left, I want to talk a little bit about what is happening with the border with New York City, the Sanctuary City.

Well, the Sanctuary City says that they have no more room. So, you know, cannot get sanctuary. That's too bad for Quasimodo. Sanctuary. No, not for you sorry uh new york city has begun distributing english and spanish flyers at the southern border warning asylum seekers that quote there is no guarantee we'll be able to provide shelter and services to new arrivals so they've put out the no vacancy sign, or maybe more accurately, the no vagrancy sign. But it's the magnet, stupid. It's the magnet that is drawing people in.

Somebody wants to come in and support themselves, I'm all for it. But I don't want to see welfare magnets because it's weaponized. That's what the Cloward and Piven strategy was about. So we can take down America's system with a welfare state. That didn't work for the Democrats. So they said, I know what we've got to do. Let's open it up for everybody in the world to come here. That'll take it down. And then once

the economy collapses, we can set up our authoritarian socialist state. And that's the goal of everything that they do is to take down the country. We have no more room in this city, said the mayor. So they got about 55,000 migrants currently under the city's care. Add the homeless population, the total number of people currently sheltered in the city jumps past 105,000. Wait a minute. So that means that they got 55,000 immigrants and they've got 50,000 American homeless. We've got more migrants than we do

homeless because they're more important, right? The flyer distributed to migrants at the border notes that, quote, housing in New York is very expensive and the cost of food and transportation and other necessities in New York City is the highest in the United States, so go somewhere else. No, I think they should go to New York. They'll be much happier there. They really will. They'll fit right in. New York City comptroller Brad Lander was not happy about the flyer either.

He wants them to come there. So, yeah, listen to the comptroller. Don't listen to the mayor. Go to New York. They've done so much to enrich the culture of New York already. I mean, you can see them on the streets grilling rats and pigeons and guinea pigs just anything they can get their hands on it's it's really beautiful to see how they've improved everything yeah yeah i don't know you know it's um you know if you're if you're living in the

country in a poor country you know i think you're going to be able to feed yourself better than uh catching rats in new york city although the rats are pretty big. That's, it might be, that does get your blood pressure up, I hear, from eating rats. I don't know if that's true or not. Adams recently called on the Biden administration to provide additional federal resources to New York City. So there we go. Just borrow some more money or just make it up. Just, just print it. You know, we're not, maybe borrow it from China.

Maybe we just print more of it. And again, this is a sanctuary city. And let me be very clear on what I have said, says Mayor Adams. Let's be clear about this. This is the same guy, by the way, who is a big promoter of C40. C40 uses 40 big cities. And this is back when Bloomberg was mayor. And you had Sadiq Khan in London and Bloomberg in New York.

And they kicked this thing off. They initially had 40 cities. It's now up to about 100 cities. And their plan, this is that radical plan, no meat for you. We're going to control your thermostat, we're going to make sure you don't have a car, all cars will be banned, you'll be able to take one flight every three years, and that flight will be less than 1,000 miles,

you'll be able to purchase three articles of clothing a year, and all the rest of the stuff. So these people are putting out this radical program of impoverishment and austerity for us. And then still offering themselves as a sanctuary city. But he says, you know, we've been a sanctuary city for a long time. We put in place the agreement. Nobody anticipated having 4,200 people come in one week to the city.

Well, just take a look at what's happening in some of the small border towns in Texas. New York City can't handle it. You think these small towns can handle it? So they've got a lawsuit with several upstate New York counties, which are objecting to New York City's efforts to relocate these illegal immigrants to hotels in their jurisdiction. Same stuff he's complaining about with Texas and Florida.

You know, he's doing the same thing there on Rumble. RCF 2020 says, too bad we didn't have the supposed moon rover battery. You know, we can put a man on the moon and we can drive around an electric vehicle, but we can't solve this problem. Right? Yeah. Many times we heard that, um, it supposedly was able to function 270 degree heat without a glitch.

That's right. He didn't have to recharge it either. I guess. Um, maybe there's a lot of recharging stations on the moon who knows, or wherever they filmed that thing. Maybe they got a lot of recharging stations. Uh, well we got a lot of recharging stations. Well, we got a Ponzi schemer, Elihu Weinstein, pardoned by Trump.

And then he immediately gets out and we see this over and over again. You know, it's the worst nightmare. These politicians, they pardon people and, and they go back and commit the same crime. You know, rapist. He goes out and rapes people or murder. He goes out and murders people. Well, here's a Ponzi-er and he goes out and he Ponzi's again. Who would have thought this guy would do this?

And, of course, you know, Donald Trump did not want to pardon Julian Assange or some of the people who are political prisoners, but, boy, he really went out of the way for the criminal, white-collar criminal friends of Jared Kushner, didn't he? Elihu Weinstein, a Jewish leader that, you know, part of this club that Jared Kushner has been, these white-collar grifters, he was convicted in a $200 million Ponzi scheme a decade ago, then granted clemency by Trump on his last day in office.

And so what does he do when he gets out? Well, he assumes a new name. He had a 24-year federal prison sentence that was commuted after being twice convicted of defrauding investors, a total of $230 million. By the way, the people he's defrauding are in his own community, friends and family and other people in this small jewish community as alleged he once again has perpetrated a sophisticated fraud scheme causing losses of millions of dollars he did so by using a fake name and falsely promising access to deals

involving scarce medical supplies baby formula tapped into the zeitgeist there you know baby formula shortages created by the FDA. And first aid kits that were supposedly destined for wartime Ukraine. Brazen and sophisticated crimes that involved multiple co-conspirators and drew right from his playbook for fraud. Did all of the usual stuff. We allege they took part in this new scheme to rip off investors by hiding his real identity, saying that he was well-known in the New York Jewish community,

so he had to operate under an assumed name. He'd been convicted two times in New Jersey federal court for defrauding investors. He committed all this stuff. First time he was convicted on a real estate thing, and then his second fraud case, he did that while he was out on pretrial release. So he's got charges against him. He's waiting to be tried on. And he goes out and he starts a new Ponzi scheme. And Trump didn't know any of this stuff. Jared Kushner didn't know any of this stuff. They put him away for 24 years. Trump lets him out and he immediately does this stuff. Soon

after being released from prison, they began orchestrating a new scheme to solicit money from investors through a company called Optimist Investments. So this would be like the Transformers. Except he never did transform himself. In addition to defrauding investors, the defendants also conspired to obstruct justice. They helped to hide his assets that should have been used to pay over $200 million in restitution that he still owes his previous victims. So they have tapes of him saying that he's got assets that can't be touched.

You know, you look at all this stuff and Chris Christie knows these people. Chris Christie put Jared Kushner's dad in jail. He knows what grifters these guys are. Trump is following the playbook just like this. He's going to come back after defrauding people through the January 6th rift and the rest of this stuff. And he's still doing it. He's still out, I guess, ontrial release thanks for joining us let me tell you the david knight show you can listen to with your ears you can even watch it by using your eyes in, if you can hear me, that means
