The David Knight Show - 25Aug23 Trump Admits His TrumpShot Killed People in Rage Attack Against DeSantis

Episode Date: August 25, 2023

OUTLINE of today's show with TIMECODES Food Fight: Why Should USDA Control All Meat?This is how USDA runs a protection racket for BigAgra and centrally controls your meat. If this doesn't bug you, you'll soon be eating bugs — this centralization is a chokepoint of control. The PRIME Act is an attempt to push Feds away… (2:06) Australian "breadbasket", 14% of land that produces 70% of food under increasing foreign ownership (19:45)WATCH my piece from 15 years ago — Eating Local — Locavore (22:31)Media — even Tucker Carlson — relentlessly pushing bugs as food for globalists (31:57)After media and government move on from East Palestine, OH a local church is trying to help people with air purifiers (37:50)People Destroying London's Spy Cameras to Give Daily Fines to non-EVsGuy Fawkes would be proud.

NO! It's a Fight We Can Win Real Clear (Machiavellian) Politics presents a poll to tell people abortion will kill the GOP. The truth is that killing babies will kill a country. We're eating our young for the lie of prosperity and fulfillment. The answer is to hold up the beauty of children and family, and show the true horror of what abortion does to babies. We CAN win — but politicians will NOT do it for us.

And the program begins twice as nice as usual. A little technical glitch. Yes, it is live. We are live. And things like that happen. Look, today we're going to talk more about the food fight. We'll talk about the election stuff as well. There's some interesting...

People are writing everywhere, including the CEO of Ford. I've had this on my desk for a couple of days. I'm going to get to this today. Talking about the impracticality of electric vehicles as people are stepping up their opposition to Sadiq Khan in London. About 90% of these cameras have been dealt with so far. That's the good news. We're going to begin with the food fight. And we're also, like I said, we're going to talk about Trump's indictment. That's what everybody wants to talk about. So we will talk about that today and about the debate. We'll be right back. The USDA's War on Small Farms.

This is the Mises Institute. And this doesn't even have anything to do with what I've been talking about with the Amish farmer yesterday or other cases like this, but it does cover the same issue. And that is the USDA claiming that they have to be included in every piece of meat that you eat. You know, the news feeds are all about Trump's mugshot, but forget about the news feeds. How are we going to feed ourselves?

Because our government is working and governments in every country, and it's going to be coming here as well. This climate MacGuffin is going to be used to try to take away our food. And if you look at what they're doing already with USDA, and what they've been doing for a long time, they already have a lock on our food. Our food supply is already centrally controlled by the people who desire to cut it off. So what do we do about this?

What do we do to decentralize this? Well, here's the first thing. We all need to understand and we need to pass this information around as to how our food supply has been essentially stolen from us. And, you know, don't focus on Trump. His solution for everything. You know, Freedom City, a glorified high-tech Indian reservation on public lands, also known as the smart city. But, of course, he can't use the same terms because he's got to pretend

that he's not on the same team as the World Economic Forum in this professional wrestling that we call an election. Murray Rothbard documented the progressive era in his book, The Progressive Era. The truth of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the USDA, says Mises Institute. David Brady there. Rothbard observed that nearly every inspection passed in any form of legislature or bureaucracy was fueled by protectionism from existing firms. Well, of course, government is a racket. You know, it was a Smedley Butler who said war was a racket. Well, government is war.

Government is a racket. Government is a racket. Government is a protection racket. You know where the mafia, the organized crime, would come by and say, you know, some protection here, you know, like Fauci. Guess what? You're going to need somebody to protect you from me if you don't pay me, right? That's the insurance.

Insurance and assurance that he isn't going to harm you or your business. Even today, the USDA and its regulations threaten to crush small farmers under its heel. A small hobby farm, or even one that simply isn't a factory farm, can hardly stand up to the regulations as we went through in great detail yesterday. And if you haven't seen that, please see that. It's very important that you see what they're doing to these different farms. You can't even use this meat to feed your family.

Oh, really? Said the Amish farmer. He says, well, that's when he crossed the line, so I crossed the line, and that's why I don't honor your demands. Meat processing in the U.S. must be done under the supervision of a USDA inspector. See, this is the background as to what this state official, this is not the feds who are coming after him. They get the feds are going after the other Amish farmer up in Pennsylvania who has the Burden Hand Farm, I think is the name of it. But this is a local,

this is a state, Virginia. And so USDA inspector has to be there whenever an animal is butchered. A farmer simply cannot butcher his or her own animal, right? How did we get to that point? What do you think the founding fathers would have said about that? I think they would have said, let me show you how to butcher. And I think they would have turned on the inspectors, quite frankly. We know that's exactly what they would have done. Any inspector who had the temerity to say that to any of the founding fathers would have been butchered himself. Cut it into usual meat products and then sell it at a farm stand.

You cannot do that yourself. Regardless of the ability of farmers to inspect and keep their own animals healthy or of their own skill in butchering livestock, they must have a USDA inspector in order to be able to sell the product on the market. The inspector, by the way, even though the inspector is working for the government, it's not free. It's not paid for by taxpayers. This is another issue. Yesterday when I talked about it, he said, well, we asked our, um, we asked the people who owned shares in the animals here that we have grass fed. He said, do you want me to take it to the USDA to be

done? Or would you like it done here? 92% of them, he said, said they wanted it done there. And then it became impractical because there was an eight-month waiting period after Trump locked the economy down for no reason whatsoever. None whatsoever. He locked us down. Never forget that. How can people forget that?

I don't understand it. Drives me nuts. Every day it forget that? I don't understand it. Drives me nuts. Every day it makes me angry when I think about it. And the lunacy of the people who hated the lockdown, hated the vaccine, hated the mask, hated all these orders, and they love Trump. Who did it? Who did it? Talked about that two days ago. Jeffrey Tucker, you know, went down the whole chronology of this stuff

he says look at this you know trump gets up you know two days after his uh uh three days after his order and says well we're locking everything down on that monday and uh people say what what it's like well let me let fauci explain it to you more right it came from them it came from fauci it came from trump you know we didn't lock anybody down it was those governors who did it yeah right anyway like i said before when i talked about this quite a while back i said this is like the uh the nurburg excuse in reverse i didn't uh i didn't put out any orders well yes you did we got the videotape actually. Instead of saying, I was just following the orders. They told me to kill these people. I killed the people, right? No, you gave the order to kill the people, to kill our economy. Anyway, back to this.

So the butchering or rather the inspect, the inspectors, the USDA inspectors, are not free. Not paid for. You pay for that harassment. As far as meat processing goes, the USDA charges anywhere from $86 to $238 an hour for inspections. This does not guarantee, by the way, and this is very important, this does not guarantee the quality of the meat. It's just what you pay for with a rubber stamp. And his point is, is that when you look at how this is all skewed

to help the big guys, and their focus is on quantity, right? You put the charge there on an hourly basis, and you enable this for the big guys, and you saw off the lower rungs of the ladder for anybody that's smaller. And you tell people you can't feed yourself either. You look at this perverse system and one of the most perverse things about it is how it focuses on the economy of a factory. And so these people are pushed to do more and more and more. Forget about the quality. You want quantity of stuff. He says, by throwing large volumes of

goods over and over in a constant stream at their workers and their inspectors, mistakes can be made. This method of quote-unquote inspection, unquote, incentivizes large volumes rather than quality. It's rare to come across a small farm that has health issues, but it has become increasingly common to come across recalls from large processors like Purdue and Lakeside Refrigerated. They can afford to pay for inspectors, but that certainly doesn't help quality. The solution, however, is to increase, rather than increasing the scale of operations, Americans need to decentralize meat packing and processing. This means opposing bureaucracy that forces family operations to pay for a bureaucrat

who neither guarantees safety nor quality. An organization like the USDA might arise in a free market, but it would be held accountable by profits and losses. In other words, just like Underwriters Lab and some of these private organizations that came up before the government decided that it was going to be the guarantor of everything in society. They have a reputation to uphold. And they are also liable for that. If they make a mistake and they don't catch something,

it's one of the reasons why when you buy a house, the house inspections are so detailed. These people are trying to protect themselves as well they get more and more thorough because if they miss something they're legally on the hook for that you know this is something you should have caught as an inspector you didn't i'm not going to eat this i'm going to sue you because you didn't warn me about this that's the way the free market works there There is no accountability for bureaucracies. What happens when bureaucracies mess up? We all know what happens.

They come back and they say, well, we need more money and more people. They always use that as an excuse to grow. There's never any reform. There's never any correction. They actually feed on their mistakes. So he says profit and loss are going to provide greater incentives for success in a bureaucracy that can never go out of business, that actually fails up, fails up in size.

Even better is the decentralization of the food processing industry altogether. Greater accountability can be held to more local institutions, such as farmers currently barred from processing their own food. Word of mouth spreads very quickly among neighbors. Why should a government get between a farmer and their customer who's buying meat from them? And the good news here is that Thomas Massey has put forward some legislation to fix this. The bad news is he's the only person in Congress that thinks like we do. The rest of them want centralization and control of everything. Thomas Massey is the only one that's got his head on straight as far as I'm concerned.

This is the entire basis for Thomas Massey's Processing Revival and Intrastate Meat Exemption Act. He calls it the PRIME Act. It would circumvent the USDA's jurisdiction for exchanges at a community level. This act would exempt custom slaughterhouses from USDA inspector requirements if the exchange occurs within state borders.

And again, why would the Fed be involved in anything except for interstate commerce? They don't have any jurisdiction there. Over and over again, we see this being brought up. We've had people say, well, if we have firearms being manufactured in this state and ammunition being manufactured in this state and it never leaves the state, you don't have any jurisdiction over that.

And they don't. But it goes back to FDR's takeover of our economy with his socialist designs. And when he started giving subsidies to farmers, there was a, I forget which state it was, I forget the name of the case, but there's one individual who did not want to do that. He did not want to have the federal government dictating to him what he could and could not grow and how he could grow and all the rest of this stuff. And they said, no, you have to do it. He says, what are you talking about?

I'm not selling to anybody outside of this state. He took it all the way to the Supreme Court, and the Supreme Court wrongfully decided, wrongfully decided, and it's quite obvious what the text of the Constitution says and what the purpose of the federal government is, but the Interstate is. But, you know, the interstate commerce clause, which was designed to open up trade, has been used by the government for exactly the opposite purpose, to restrict and control it, centrally control it. And so they said, no, if you sell it in your state, you're still going to be affecting things overall, everywhere else. And by letting that lie stand,

that became the basis for their reinvention prohibition. Remember, they had to have a constitutional amendment to prohibit alcohol, and then there's another one to make it legal again, the 18th and the 21st Amendment. But now they say, well, we don't need to have an amendment to the Constitution to prohibit anything because we've got the Commerce Clause. Well, the Commerce Clause was always there. It was there when they prohibited alcohol

and nobody in the country, whether they supported the prohibition of alcohol or not, nobody in the country raised that argument. Why? Because it's specious. It's a prevarication. It's not real. And this is the kind of stuff that's happened to us throughout the 20th century. Anyway, if they have no jurisdiction over interstate commerce, though it's nice that Thomas Massey is putting that in a bill, the Intrastate Meat Exemption Act, and to revive processing and to decentralize it. If conservatives and libertarians care about the competition for small farms, they should support defanging the federal bureaucracy that is used by large corporations to capture markets. You know, you would still have situations like you got in Virginia, right? Even if you stopped federal government, you know, it is, it kind of bears on what these people in

Virginia did to that Amish family that I talked about yesterday in Farmville, Virginia. You know, the USDA is there and the state jumps on board with that. Says you got to do it there. Well, if you get rid of the USDA, except for the big guys who are going to be transporting stuff across all state lines and everything. Well, then, you know, what would a state like Virginia do? Well, they would probably pass their own regulations to say, well, you still got to do it. You know, you're going to have bad

state actors like Democrat-controlled Virginia and Republicans who are statist as well. And then this out of Australia, just to show you how this is happening to everybody. But in Australia, there's a couple of different factors that are happening there. This is coming from Expose News. Stop demonizing farmers and let farmers farm, says an Australian rural charity. Demonization of farmers in the name of climate crisis or any other crisis. You see, this type of thing that we're talking about with the USDA and what was happening to the Amish farmer, this goes back to FDR days, right? That kind of socialist control, centralized control of our food system, that kind of crony capitalism and corruption. But there's a whole new wave of destruction headed our way.

We can see it in the European countries. We can see it in Australia and other places where it's already hit. And it's coming at us. And we've got to get their hooks out of our food. That's what we should be fighting for. Folks, we're in the fight for our life. Not just our life as a country. At this point, our federal government has become so overbearing, I don't really care whether it exists or not. I'd be happy to see it go away and go back to the individual states. Every one of these states has more people in it, pretty much, than all 13 states did at the time of our independence.

I think states are too big to be governable. We need to separate out these giant cities and let the rural people go their own way. But they want to destroy people in the rural areas because they want to pack us into even bigger cities. It's very easy for the authoritarians to have their way in big cities. We see that everywhere, even in Tennessee, right? You look at Nashville and Memphis and even Knoxville to a large degree.

Knoxville is still kind of purple, but the other places are solid blue and a solid red state, and this happens everywhere. Virginia, rural Virginia, mostly Republican, but you got the suburbs of Washington, you got Virginia Beach areas, but you got the suburbs of Washington, you got Virginia Beach areas, and they control the state. And so their solution, their solution is to get everybody out of the rural areas and pack us into a few giant cities. That's always been, you know, that was Agenda 21,

which became UN 2030 Agenda for quote-un unquote sustainable development. It's actually sustainable dictatorship is what they're talking about. And so in Australia, they have a person who is Anita Dolan. I don't know, 44 year veteran of the entertainment industry. But she's on the board of a couple of organizations, Beef It Up Australia and Let's Get Rural. And she said COVID was very clever. It had different elements depending on where you were

geographically in the country. And so we were noticing in communities that were not in lockdown per se that they were feeling it as well even. That sense of having that social connection removed, the pub wasn't open, the cafe wasn't open, they couldn't go and stand and have a natter on the footpath without having a mask on.

The same businesses in rural areas were also really hurting, she said. So we put together our Let's Get Rural campaign. And then she pointed out about how one-seventh of Australia's geographical area is really where they grow most of the food is grown in that area, even though it is only one-seventh of Australia's areas. That's about 14%. So 14% produces 70% of the national total. And we'll be that way because of the climate that's there.

What a lot of Australians don't realize, she said, is that water there is owned by overseas interests. And the water is being used as a commodity. Australian farmers are being pawned, she said. It is also an environmental disaster because these overseas owners don't take care of it, so they have a great deal of erosion that is happening there, causing environmental damage. She said, these people are growing our food, and they're going through so much extra pressure

because these foreign interests who have the water are lording it over them and using that against them. Now, we've got people who were talking about Chinese ownership of farms. I don't see anybody talking about foreign ownership of water. And of course in California, Nestle and other people have gone in and grabbed water rights there for their purposes, taking it away from the farmers there. But again, she's there with a group that is trying to help the rural farmers, and good for her. I have, I guess this was about 14, 15 years ago, I was doing a lot of commercials

and basically making a living doing commercials for contests. They had a lot of crowdsourcing stuff. And one of the ones that we did was about local farming. And, you know, you can, people who are very interested in eating locally, they have kind of a nickname for them, locavores. This is what I did talking about local farming about 15 years ago. Probably heard of a carnivore. Maybe you've heard of an herbivore. But have you

heard of a locavore? No, it's not something that's going to eat your location. A locavore eats things that grow locally. Actually, this is what a young locavore in training looks like. You see, we've learned that we can eat locally produced food for the same or less money, and it's much fresher and better tasting. Many farmers in our area open their farms to consumers to buy directly or pick the fruit. We go as a family, and we have a great time. But there's one farm trip that stands out from all the rest. Picking apples in the fall on a mountain orchard. This year, we got there right at the end of the season. All the low-hanging fruit was gone and we got to do something we'd not done in years past. Use this picker to get the apples from the tops of the trees. It

lets you grab and pull the apple and it has a bag that catches it. Hopefully. After a while we got pretty good at fishing for apples. And the little bag holds quite a few. We love visiting farms and getting fresh produce. We understand that farmers are struggling like the rest of us. And we hope that by buying direct from them, it will help them to stay in business so we can get fresh, healthy food as long as they're keeping it rural. Well, things have changed since then, haven't they? Now we have a globalist organization that is dictating to the Netherlands

that you're going to get rid of all of your cattle, all of your dairy, telling the people in Ireland that they're going to kill 200,000 cows over the next three years because they signed on to this COP26 in Glasgow. That was an initiative, by the way, that was put forward by the United States and by the EU. You don't think that's coming here? That this is an initiative that was started by the US and the EU for people, you know, everybody gets upset about the World Economic Forum.

The people who implement it are the people in Washington. The people who are going to implement it are going to be Biden or Trump and most of the candidates on, if not all of them, on the GOP stage. They'll all do that. So what are we going to do locally? It's not just enough for us to buy our food locally to support the farmers. We're going to have to organize in our communities to fight this from the grassroots up. Or we're going to be eating grass and eating bugs if we don't fight this from the bottom up. You're not going to fight this from the top down. These people are owned. They're nothing but patsies. If you watched that debate for a couple of minutes, you saw that. They have absolutely no principles. They have no courage. They have policies, positions really, and they're constantly

positioning themselves as to whatever is most advantageous to them. And so in Australia, they even had a situation where we had climate terrorists and lunatics out there going around and opening up gates and turning cattle out. And they said, well, they eventually passed the law because they said, you know, you hit a cow with your car, they could kill you. I remember my aunt is now 98. She was always been a big animal lover and they were on a highway and a horse ran out in

front of them and they hit the horse and, um, you know, he was able to break, uh, so that it didn't go flying through the windshield and kill them. A lot of weight, uh, but it did break the horse's leg and the horse died. And my aunt was just hysterical over it. But, um, uh, you know, you don't want the animals out on the highway and, um, they had to get a wrecker to come out and, uh, not so much for the car, but for horse the horse couldn't move and they couldn't you know get the horse off and it was it was a mess but this is what the environmentalist

lunatics are doing besides gluing themselves to the road i think you just need to leave them glued to the road just leave them there let them figure it out. And then climate doomsday cultists, as they put it in this article, John Kerry, promoting his false ideology that putting more restrictions and more red tape on farmers is going to save us. We don't need to be saved. We don't need to be saved from climate change any more than we needed to be saved from COVID. And even if we did need to be saved from either one of those things, their remedies are not about that. The reality of what they're doing is making it much more expensive for us to live and making our lives much more difficult. They're ultimately creating a catastrophic problem that will affect every single one of us, a global food shortage. That's what these people are doing. And so, again, the fact that water is being grabbed in California

by foreign interests and large corporations, same thing happening with some farmland, although it's still, what the Chinese are doing is still relatively small. A lot of this is about opposing all things Chinese because they want a war with China. And I'm not saying the Chinese people, the Chinese communists are good at all. I'm just saying that's what a lot of this is about. More so than the actual threat to U.S. farmland. May 17th, a bipartisan proposal introduced in the U.S. House

to block the Chinese Communist Party affiliates from taking hold of U.S. farmland, adding to the growing bipartisan push in Congress to counter threats from the regime in Beijing. And so, as I point out in this article from Epoch Times, Epoch Times really hates China. Epoch Times is run by Falun Gong. And that's just where they're coming from. And I agree with this in general, but they do point out that China's current ownership of acreage in the U.S. is less than 1% of the total foreign-held land. So again, why are they focusing on this?

Well, because they want to have a war with China. And who is a bigger threat to our food supply? Seriously, who's a bigger threat? Is the USDA a bigger threat? Is the EPA a bigger threat to our food supply? They'll be the ones that'll be enforcing this stuff. The only reason this stuff hasn't happened, they're just trying to figure out

which one of the alphabet agencies, the deep state bureaucracy that is under control of the president, which of those is going to run through this process of culling our food supply. That's all they're worried about at this point in time. And listen to this. This is a representative

who's been elected in Virginia again. Spanberger is a former CIA case officer. She said, these are threats that are posed by the Chinese Communist Party. And as the only Virginian on the U.S. House Agricultural Committee, I'm committed to protecting America's farms and farm families from foreign threats. Well, why don't you do something about the domestic threats? CIA agent. cia people they're like pedophiles you can never once somebody you find out somebody's a pedophile

you lock them away for life because they never change and the same thing is true these cia people you don't put them in congress right what's the matter with people in virginia of course it's probably sub-district of washington D.C. that she represents. I didn't look. But your own state of Virginia, Spanberger, is a bigger threat to Americans and American farms than the Chinese communists are. So there's not a process now for there to be an accumulation of deeds that are being filed today.

Now, this is coming from Agriculture Secretary Tom Bilsack, talking to the House Agricultural Committee. So what's their solution? Well, see, the CIA creates a boogeyman so that you don't pay attention to what the USDA and the FDA are doing to our food supply. Oh, it's the Chinese. They own less than 1% of farmland that's owned by foreign companies. I wonder, I didn't look it up, I just thought about it, I wonder how Chinese Communist Party ownership of farmland compares to Bill Gates, for example. But the real problem is our own government.

We have met the enemy, and they is us, lady. And so their solution, however, is, well, we've got to know when property is being sold. There's not a process right now to accumulate the deeds that are being filed so we can stop them. And we've got to have that. See how they use this? They create a crisis, and then they use it. Just like we've got a border crisis. That means that you Americans are going to have to get an ID, E-Verify,

and you're going to have to get our permission to work. We're going to change work into a government-granted privilege, and you've got to go get an ID. And we're going to say that selling your land to somebody in a rural area is going to be under our supervision, our discretion, our permission. And you've got to get the prior permission of this. And we've got to set up some bureaucracy to scope this out and spy on everybody. You see how it always turns around to them exercising control against people?

Always that. Always to centralize control and get permission. So again, they want us to eat bugs, right? This article from Zero Hedge is saying there's absolutely no way I'm going to eat bugs. Just look at all these different headlines. Here's one earlier this month. Would you eat bugs to save the planet? See, that's a false Hegelian proposition there, right?

Let's see. Should I eat the bugs and save the planet, or should I not eat bugs and let the planet die? Well, there's other options here. The planet's not going to die if you don't eat bugs. Polluting food systems are a primary driver of climate change. So could cricket, chocolate, larva, milk, and ant gelato reverse these trends? CBS.

CBS segment highlights how adding bugs to the food system could be a game changer to fight climate change. And of course, it's not just the mainstream media. Tucker did this several times. Tucker was on both sides of this issue as he is on Trump, as he is on so many different things, as he was on the pandemic. Tucker would do stuff showing Klaus Schwab and all these people saying, eat bugs, eat bugs. But then, and at least two occasions that I know, Tucker himself brings somebody on, oh, let's eat the bugs. Oh, it's kind of, oh, it's gooey. Oh, it tastes good. I like this. Listen. Now, I'm going to start slowly. Okay. Child would with the chocolate

covered cricket. Do you mind if I eat that? No, please. So that is chocolate covering a cricket? Yeah, correct. What part of the cricket? The entire, well, the legs are shaken off, but it's pretty much the entire cricket. Including the loins. The loins are included in that piece. Yeah, that's right.

That's delicious. I love your willingness to try this because it's really just like a psychological thing to separate. This isn't a cricket hopping around the ground. Right. It's a cricket that was farmed and harvested for us. I'll put anything in my mouth, Chef. It's good for you. Tell me what. That's probably USDA inspected.

We got crickets in there. And, like, you know, if we could just think about presenting this as food that we already recognize, we could have extreme dishes that highlights like that's super bugified. But what about ways that are a little more familiar for us to try to eat? Yeah, what about that? You know, can you help me sell this? Get some guy on there. Oh, it's really good.

Yeah. You know, I wonder what the USDA is going to do. I mean, are you going to have to when you slaughter your crickets, are you going to have to, when you slaughter your crickets, are you going to have to pay one of them $80 to $300 an hour to sit there and watch you slaughter crickets? Is that what you're going to have to do with that? Oh, no, they'll probably waive that, at least at the beginning. Five reasons why eating insects could reduce climate change, and on and on.

And this from the World Economic Forum. Help us to prevent the spread of disinformation. And then immediately, World Economic Forum says, three different statements. And they managed to get four lies in just three statements. Our consumption of animal protein

is a source of greenhouse gas and climate change. Well, that's a lie, right? They count that as one lie or two lies. And then they say insects are overlooked source of protein and a way to battle climate change. Well, that's a lie. You're not going to battle climate change with insects. The consumption of insects can offset climate change in many ways. Yeah, lie after lie after lie.

Yeah, it's, you know, Tucker wasn't just paid on Fox News for all the Ask Your Doctor commercials that then turned into Don't Ask Your Doctor or we'll ban you off of social media. Don't say anything. You do what we say. Forget about the ask your doctor stuff, right? So this is actually from Fringe Finance. They think to themselves as people look at this,

well, insects must be better for us nutritionally, and they're going to help to save the planet, he says. So that must be why the government and media, who always have our best interest in mind, are introducing the idea to us. Thank you, Tucker. I appreciate that. Yeah, bug-eating is being pushed on us because it's the next step in drastically moving our quality of life lower to compensate for a widening inequality gap

and the continued loss of purchasing power of the dollar. And again, his article, by talking about inflation and talking about shrink inflation, everything's getting smaller. You know, even the cows are shrinking into little tiny bugs because they want us to have nothing. And we'll be happy little slaves, won't we? Well, I just want to close this out by talking again about the community.

Do you remember East Palestine, Ohio? Or Palestine? Frankenstein? Frankenstein? I don't know. I think it was Palestine is the way they said it. Anyway, the people who had that horrific, unnecessary environmental disaster, because they decided after the train wreck to set fire to the stuff there.

Well, a lot of people have left. And of course the key people to leave are the government and the media who no longer care about what's going on there. There's a lot of residue that is there. The government says it's not there. Private inspectors say that it is there, but this is February. That's six months ago. That's an eternity as far as the news cycle is concerned, right? And yet you now got a church there that is organizing fundraisers to equip

residents with air purifiers. You see volunteer organization especially a church can do things that the government's not going to do we don't need the government the government's not going to clean this stuff up the people are going to have to realize finally realize at some point they're going to have to clean it up or move and the government doesn't care as mike pence said not my concern i'm interested in this war in Ukraine. That's what I'm interested in. I've got an empire to run here. I don't care about you.

Unless you've got some kids. Can you send the kids to fight the wars for me? People are still really nervous about the air and the water, especially young mothers. They're scared to death for their kids, said Bob Hellick, who leads the First Church of Christ in East Palestine, I guess. Shortly after the disaster, the congregation began distributing air purifiers, equipping 500 families and 160 elementary, junior high, and high school classrooms with the devices.

The church hopes that this fundraising will allow it to buy at least 2,500 more air purifiers. After the disaster, some residents reported suffering from respiratory illnesses, nosebleeds, eye infections, rashes. Many families have left the town over health concerns. About 200 of them, said Helbeck. And they've seen five church families leave the town since February. The authorities decided to do a controlled burn, you know, kind of like the people who are trying, having to steal government firefighting equipment to protect their homes

because the government did a controlled burn with a 25 mile an hour wind blowing. Now that was just, that was just a mistake, right? The EPA claims the toxins in the air remain below screening level. The Ohio Emergency Management System continues to ensure Palestine's water contains no toxic substances associated with the derailment. Nevertheless, a recent test by an independent agency, integrated technology found that East Palestine's soil presented a level of dioxin a toxic compound a level of dioxin that was 27,000 percent to a hundred and sixty four thousand percent times higher than usual in March an investigative team from the cdc stopped at surveillance operation when seven team members presented with suspicious symptoms

so they go there and they get sick the same thing happened when they had that leak out of a lab in the national primate center in Tulane about 2014. One of the things that caused them to temporarily ban gain-of-function research. It was brought back by Trump, by the way. But it was ignored by Fauci and Francis Collins even while the ban was on. But what caused that ban were accidents at many different labs, but the one that happened at the Primate Center in Tulane, that's just outside of Tulane,

they brought in a bacteria that in and of itself is very deadly, Berkholderia pseudomallei. It gets into the soil, but it's not found anywhere around here. And so they decided that they would make it more deadly and easier to spread. And it got out of the lab somehow. They found monkeys that were outside it. And this is only a biosafety level three lab. They found monkeys outside the lab that were infected.

When they brought the CDC team in, they had one of the members fall sick with that particular disease. And they said, well, I'm sure she didn't get it here. She didn't get it here. This is only found a couple of places on earth but we're sure that she didn't get it here yeah right so um anyway the um the church has set up a thing with a company called germ solutions they're raising funds to an organization, Help East Palestine, Ohio. And they mentioned that for every air purifier bought with donations, GermSolutions USA will donate one unit for free. And that's really nice. So again, if you're in

the market for an air purifier, I would suggest that company, first of all. And if you want to help them, you go to Help East Palestine, Ohio. Look, we have to understand that it's going to be up to us. And let me just play for you. We talked about it. I didn't show you the video. We talked about how people who listened to the government died. You want to listen to the EPA and the CDC who tells you there's no risk, even though they're getting sick when they test it?

Or do you want to listen to the private company that tests it? And you want to think and you look at your neighbors who are getting sick, right? And so just like in Hawaii, where they send the police and the firemen out and they block off the roads and the people who obediently sat there like sheep and obeyed these people without thinking for themselves, without defying the government, died. Good luck. Look at this. Holy s***, this is a nightmare.

I don't know where he's going, probably to block our street. They're going to f***ing barbecue all these people down in Lahaina. We're all trapped down in here. They're blocking off all exits and everyone is just stuck going in a circle in a fire pit yeah yeah well that's what's going on and of course it's now come out as luck would have it that the uh had emergency officials for hawaii were practicing for an emergency on another island when all this stuff went down. Yeah. Typical. We see that kind of stuff all the time, by the way, while we're

talking about the, um, the Amish farmer, uh, Mr. Goldfold, thank you for the tip. And he gave us, he found the number for the sheriff there and Cumberland, Virginia. He said, I called sheriff Hodges and Cumberland, Virginia. Well, good for called Sheriff Hodges in Cumberland, Virginia. Well, good for you. Good for you. Regarding the Amish farmer, he says, it's shocking. I'm in Palm Desert, California, and he called me back. And he told me that the farmer was well-treated, not abused.

Also, he is a member of the Constitutional Sheriffs Association. I told him the farmer was not protected. That's the issue. And to insulate freedom, that's his duty. Fend off the stormtroopers. Shame on him. Everybody call him. I agree. I mean, if this guy is going to run on the platform that he's a constitutional sheriff and he's going to let these people shut down an organic Amish farmer because he's got a private club there where people can buy shares of this animal and he's butchering this there. That is a law that needs to be nullified. It's a state law. It needs to be nullified. If it's a federal law, it needs to be nullified. It's not constitutional for them to do this type of thing.

And so in a sense, the fact that he would want to become a member of the Constitutional Sheriff's organization shows that he is sensitive to what people think about what he does. So absolutely, thank you for giving him a call. We're going to take a quick break, and we'll be right back. The Common Man They created Common Core to dumb down our children. They created Common Past to track and control us. Their Commons Project to make sure the commoners own nothing. And the communist future.

They see the common man as simple, unsophisticated, ordinary. But each of us has worth and dignity created in the image of God. That is what we have in common. That is what they want to take away. Their most powerful weapons are isolation, deception, intimidation. They desire to know everything about us while they hide everything from us. It's time to turn that around and expose what they want to hide. Please share the information and links you'll find at thedavidknightshow.com.

Thank you for listening. Thank you for sharing. If you can't support us financially, please keep us in your prayers. The David Knight Show dot com. Well, let's talk about other aspects of our life and follow up on what we were talking about. Sadiq Khan is actually going to be on the 29th is when he's going to roll out these new rules that if you fire up one of your cars, an internal combustion engine car, if you've got an older car that's not electric, or even if you have a hybrid, because these are ultra low emission zones, the only thing that's

going to be allowed is 100% battery car. Fire up anything else. You got a Prius? I'm sorry. It's going to be $12.50 a day to drive that Prius. I'm sorry, 12.5 pounds a day or 12 pounds a day, something like that. It's about $15 is what it roughly translated to if you move your car. And they've got cameras that are being set up to report anybody that moves their car and find them immediately. Well, here's some good news. 90% of these cameras have been destroyed in one location.

And another one, they have destroyed 80% of them, or they have repurposed them to be sky observers, right? Because there's a lot of different things. Some people are, you know, taking the cameras down and destroying them or taking them somewhere else. Some people are cutting the wires. Some people just take a pole and they shove it up. So it's now stargazing instead of spying on people. According to the Times, that'd be the London Times, the group will take submissions from the public

whenever they see these ULEZ, let's call them, cameras being installed, and there is a map online. That's a risky thing. You're not going to be able to organize these counter things online. That's how they will find you. They'll look to see where these people are that are going to these sites. That's how they're going to find them. And so that's not a good idea,

but there is a thing on site for the blade runners. And as I said, you know, you can have various ways to deal with this. You can steal the whole camera, detach the power and the data cables. You could cut the cables or you could just push it to point up to the sky with a stick. Some of the other things that people were doing was, you know, putting this on. By the way, this is a spy camera. Be aware, right? Just put a sticker on the pole, this with an arrow pointing up. So they got a lot of different ways that they're pushing back against this one recent video taken by a member of the public of an anti-camera activists in action. I showed that to you. It's a bunch of guys at a pub. People were standing

around smoking and drinking. They don't care. This guy's cutting down this thing. One of them is actually filming it. Uh, one person commented, I don't see anybody complaining as this ULEZ blade runner goes about their business. 185 cameras have been spotted in this, um, one suburb of London, 56 square mile area. And they put 185 cameras there and, uh, 156 of those have been disabled. So that's about 90%. In another area, Bromley, 80% of the known cameras have been vandalized, says the group. It's going to go into effect on Tuesday, the 29th of August.

That's kind of interesting. Why would they do it instead of like on the 1st or something like that? Anyway, it's going to ban older cars and trucks from the street, imposing new fines on, on vehicles. Uh, it's pronounced effect on the people who are less well off, particularly blue collar workers who rely on trucks to carry tools and materials. Huh? It's fine.

Let them eat cake. Uh, we will charge them 15 bucks a day. Uh, it's an attack on ordinary working people who are going to work, said Nigel Farage. And he's absolutely right about that. But of course, this mayor who's second generation Pakistani doesn't care. It's always a second generation people who come in from another country, you know, can be really bad in another country. And the first people come, it's like, oh, well, you know, I had to be out of that place. Yeah. I'm not doing as well as the other people here, but I'm doing a lot better from getting out of that country.

Then you got the second generation that's never seen where they came from. They know what it's like to live in Pakistan. And they just look around and say, we're poorer than everybody else. Why is that? And then they get really angry. And they become the terrorist or they become the mayor and destroy the town like Sadiq Khan. He's got no idea how big an impact this will have on people's lives, said Nigel

Franz. No, he does. He knows. He either doesn't care, and I don't think that's the case either. I think he wants to have this kind of an impact. I think he wants to do harm. I think he wants chaos. I know that he's one of these globalists, you know, part of the C40 organization. He's somebody just like Bloomberg and the rest of these people and de Blasio, uh, Adams, the guy that's there now in New York. Uh, and Nigel Farage says, for those who say I don't live near London so this doesn't affect me he says yes it will because it's coming to a city near you and by the way folks it's coming to America as well this is a global

it's all these people are pushing all this stuff eat the bugs and all the rest of it it's the same agenda everywhere you've got congestion charges that are now making their way into America they'll come in these things get tried first in New York and California, and then they make it to the rest of the country, like toll roads, things like that.

Then from toll roads to pay them by the mile. London's police force said that they'd recorded 288 crimes related to these ULEZ cameras. This includes approximately 185 reports of cables being damaged, 164 cameras being stolen, 38 reports of cameras being obscured. So I guess if you point it to the sky, you get charged with a camera being obscured. Might as well destroy the thing.

A recent report has highlighted the cost to the budgets of London's local governments as they race to keep up with the pace of destruction. So it's going to be a back and forth. Measures, countermeasures. They're going to, as I said the other day, their plan is, since everybody's attacking these cameras on poles, they're going to put them in unmarked cars and drive them around or whatever, so they don't know where they are. Looking at the damage to all these low traffic neighborhood infrastructure devices, including the cameras. They also have other things.

People have been destroying the bollards that they're using to block the roads. And think about that. Think about how these people have gradually rolled this stuff out. And we saw it happening during 2020 and 2021, as Trump and then Biden started rolling out these controls and did them in sync with people in other countries. And they did it. It was a very fast progression. You know, there's only a couple of months between each stage of the next thing. It wasn't an emergency

or they would have done it all at once. And none of it worked. It was all just a population control measure. And so when you look at what they've been doing to the roads, they've been doing this for a long time. Things that they call road calming. Do you know what that is? That's speed bumps everywhere. Let's put speed bumps everywhere. And then let's put the roads on a diet. Let's carve off bike lanes.

It was about six or seven years ago that Karen and I went back to Tampa where we went to school and where we met. And we had some things that we needed to take care of some family business that was there. And we're driving around and I couldn't believe how in downtown Tampa, they had put bike lanes everywhere. And we were there for about three days driving around everything. The last day we were there, we saw one man on a bicycle. And I said, that's the guy that they made all these bicycles. He must be really special. They must love him like they love Trump or something. They have cut the roads in half in many places just for this one guy. The only person we saw riding a bicycle there. But they call that a road diet.

The speed bumps are called a road calming measure. And then, you know, gradually they get to the point where they say, ah, heck with it. Let's just block the road off with a bollard here. People can't drive the car at all. It's always a progression like that, isn't it? On Rockfin, thank you very much. Michael Gregory, appreciate the tip thank you

we've had a couple of people talking about their experiences driving electric cars one of them is the ceo of ford seriously you didn't know that these things had charging issues you're the ceo well he's a bean right? But another one was somebody who writes for The Federalist. She says, Stella Morabito, I rented a Tesla for a week, and I'm totally sold on gas-powered cars. We will never buy a Tesla or any electric vehicle as long as we have an option of gas-powered cars or even hybrids. And so she said they were planning a week-long trip to Seattle. She said, I wondered aloud to my husband if we

ought to rent a Tesla. Neither of us had ever driven an electric vehicle. And so he said, well, let's think about it. And so, and by the way, you know, I have driven a Tesla. I've got a very, very good friend of mine. I'd say my best friend, my longest friend that I've had, um, for a very long time. He's got a Tesla. He loves it. And, um, and I really enjoy driving. It's a very different experience because of regenerative braking and the fast pickup, you know, it's kind of like driving an electric slot car or something. Uh, that part of it was good. Uh, but, uh, she went through and talked about what she didn't like about it, primarily the charging stuff. Look, I support people being able to buy whatever they want. And so this is why I support, I oppose mandates about cars.

I oppose safety mandates and have for the longest time on cars. It makes cars more expensive and it keeps people from being able to get the cars that they want. But it also opposed the mandates that say you will own nothing but an electric car. And my friend understands the trap. He understands what they're doing to the grid and he understands how this is going to eventually pan out as well. So her takeaways, she said, first of all, battery drainage is stress-inducing. We kept focusing on, is the battery going to make it? Is the battery constantly at the front of your mind? So you can't relax and enjoy the trip.

She said, there's few charging station locations, and the length of time that you have to spend there is really bad. And she also said, the personal safety at some of these charging locations can feel really dicey. She said we had to stop on a Sunday evening at a supercharger located in an Ikea parking lot. Ikea was closed and there were no walkable amenities around it. Ditto for our visit to another Tesla supercharger located across from a pawn shop. She said the length of time that we had to stay there and the location where this thing was, she said this was a crime scene waiting to happen. Sure, you can stop your charging and

you can go on your way, but your way to where? Well, to another supercharger where you can sit there and charge it for a very long time. And then she says, texting while driving is required. Required. I mentioned this from the very beginning, and that was one of my big issues. I've rented cars in the past that have, you know, the panels and you got to mess with them to do certain things. But usually, and the other cars, they would with them to do certain things. But usually, and the other cars, they would also give you, for most of these features, they would give you redundant controls that were dials and knobs and push buttons and things like that that were

tactile. Then you could use them. When it's a car that you're renting, sometimes it was easier to try to do that. But as I'm driving, I'm looking down and I'm also, I really have to stare at it because you're being bumped around and you got to use, you know, touch control on this thing. So I've always thought that was a very, very bad idea. Tesla, they don't give you any manual controls for basically anything. I mean, you've even got to use that touch screen to do basic things like change the airflow on the air conditioner or the heater. Not that long ago when we were all in the car together, I remember looking over and seeing a woman in a Tesla,

and she was texting while picking her nose as the car drove for her. I guess that's it. The self-driving thing, you um do whatever you need to do uh and i guess besides that you could also have to put in self-driving mode in order to change the air conditioning vents uh but anyway um she had some things that were complaints that related to um it being a rental she wasn't sure how to lock the car but she said don't expect the cost of a battery charge to always be lower than gasoline she said we uh tap the screen and it comes up with a lightning thing it shows you where there's different locations where you can charge up she said we found that varied from about

18 cents to about 50 cents per kilowatt hour our cheapest charge was about seven dollars and it ranged up to 25 and we were doing about a 50% charge into the car at any given time. So she said, if you fully charge it up, it's going to be about the price. If it was a $25 charge, she said, that's about the same we would have paid to do a gasoline fill up. And, uh, and then she talks about the fact that, you know, she said, but I did like the regenerative braking, the very fast pickup and all the rest of this stuff. The tinted glass roof was all cool. And I agree. It's just that I have no roof at all on mine, which I can just take the roof all the way off. And I can, uh, I got a stick shift on mine and actually kind of like, um, coasting in the Hills. But, um, anyway, uh,

that was, she was very upset about it. Uh, and she said, you know, and of course, when you look at the, the cost of charging and she says roughly equivalent, the highest one was roughly equivalent to filling it up with gasoline. And she said, of course, with a heavy subsidy that is happening with all this stuff. Now that's eventually going to go away. And, you know, once we get to a renewable power grid, we don't have functional fuels, the price of that is going to go up. The reliability and the availability of power on the grid is going to go up. And so they're going to have to really discourage you from driving your car.

And then they're going to start taxing you by the mile. So right now your taxes are one of the biggest parts of your fueling, especially on the West Coast, especially in California. And they don't have to pay for that. They just pay for the electricity. But you will be paying for more expensive electricity because of this renewable nonsense. And you will also be paying for the travel by mile charges as well with that. So again, the Ford CEO was one who decided that he would take a trip in an electric F-150 truck. Ford CEO Jim Farley admitted that he underwent a quote-unquote reality check when he tried to make a cross-country road trip in a Ford electric F-150. He said in a video on Twitter, charging has been pretty challenging.

It was really good reliability, a reality check of the challenges of what our customers go through and the importance of fast charging and what we're going to have to do to improve the charging experience. Well, we have a listener who is an engineer who works at Ford. He says, yeah, there's actually been discussions about how fast charging kills battery life to such a degree that they've talked about, well, maybe we need to start tracking the number of times that people have fast charged and de-rate the warranty on their battery. That's how it degrades battery life. In California, he said he encountered slow charging times. It took him about 40 minutes to charge his battery up to 40%. But you understand that this is not linear. You can't

say, well, it took 40 minutes to get to 40%. If you want to get to 100%, that last bit, it's one of the reasons why people don't charge up all the way at these stations, is because the last bit of it gets really, really slow. And so it's not going to take you 100 minutes to get to 100%. It's going to take you a lot longer than that. According to Ford, the company said that it partnered with Tesla to have more than 12 000 tesla supercharges chargers available but he said long hauling long hauling

an electric truck is an act of pioneering ism pioneer ism not because it's hard or dangerous but because it's a new way to experience america setting for hours at pawn shops in dangerous areas when the stores are closed. Yeah, that's a new way to, and that's a bit of a pioneer experience. You might wind up with some arrows or gunshots in your back as well. Shifting from fueling stations to charging stations requires new behaviors, and it opens up new possibilities. So enjoy those late night charges.

It comes after a Canadian man told news outlets that he was forced to abandon his Ford electric truck after suffering charging failures during a road trip. The man in Manitoba, Dalbir Bala, said that he left his Ford Lightning in Minnesota last month after he couldn't charge his battery at two different stations. He then continued to drive in a rented gas-powered vehicle instead. His wife and three kids joined him for the trip to Wisconsin and Chicago. They set out with three scheduled stops to recharge on the trip. He said it was a nightmare for us.

His first stop was in Fargo, North Dakota. He paid $56 to charge his vehicle's battery from 10% to 90% capacity. But then the problems began as his next stop in Minnesota. He said he got a faulty connection message in his truck after he plugged in the charger. He dialed the number on the charger for assistance, but nobody responded. He said then the car the truck after he abandoned it and went to uh a rental gas engine internal combustion engine car to finish his trip he said it was in the shop for six months i can't take it to my lake cabin i can't take it for off grid camping i can't even take it for a short trip. I can only drive it in the city.

He said, this is the biggest scam of modern times. Oh, wait until you see what they do to the grid. Yeah, that's the biggest scam. And Elon Musk is a part of that as well. Getting in there with this Tesla battery energy storage sites's already had massive fires up because you're going to have that battery to store all the power from the quote-unquote renewables, the windmills and the solar panels. So yeah, this is by design.

It's not a scam. It's a design. Smart city. Soon restrictions on the charging itself as well. That's all part of the plan, folks. We've seen it coming for a long time. And then finally, finishing up again with what's going on in London,

they've had protests as well of people blocking roads, not just destroying these spy cameras. They had a ULEZ protest. They had tractors. They had a three-wheel car. They brought traffic to a standstill in southeast London.

One couple that they talked to in the paper there, they are 65 and 61 years old. They were protesters there. The two of them are worried that they could have to spend up to 40,000 pounds to replace their car so they can drive in London. Well, think about the economics of this, right? First of all, he says, I've never protested about anything until this. Well, get ready to protest because they're going to come after your food as well, you know. He says, I've got a car, a Volvo C30. It's diesel because I was told by my government that diesel was environmentally friendly thing to do. I now have to get rid of it. They like diesel because it had

such high fuel economy, but now they charge people in some jurisdictions in Scotland, they actually charge you more to park your car if it's a diesel than they do if it's a gasoline or if it's an electric car. They hate them. But if you go back and you look at this, are you going to spend 40,000 pounds to get a car that the government says that they like? And I'm telling you, they're going to cut off your source of electricity so you won't be able to use that car either. Or they will charge you an additional amount because you're taking so much electricity to drive yourself around and nobody should be driving around.

I'll just be walking around in our 15-minute radius that we've got. Too bad if you want something outside of that area. Well, think about the economics of that. 40,000 pounds for that. And if you were to just say, forget about it, I'm going to drive my diesel car, and Sadiq Khan would be charging you 12 pounds a day. And so you could go 3,333 days of fines before you would equal the purchase price of that car. That's about nine years. But of course, the fines are going to go up, I'm sure,

unless they get rid of Sadiq Khan. We're going to take a quick break, and we will be right back. Thank you. Making Super Mario Bros. Making sense. Common again. You're listening to The David Knight Show. Well, I want to thank Eric on Rockfin. Thank you very much. I appreciate the tip. Thank you. And Frank Rockfin. Thank you very much. I appreciate the tip. Thank you.

And Frank as well. Thank you very much. On DLive, Blue Collar Eric says, going to change methods and start using Zelle to support you guys. Well, thank you very much. I appreciate that. Yeah, Zelle is no fees. So if you have access to that, there's no fees there.

And again, if you want to find places where you can find the show and places where you can support us, you can find all of that at thedavidknightshow.com. We have links because sometimes it's very hard to find the show, even if it's carried on a platform. Sometimes it's very hard to find it. One of the things that would help us is if you would, if you like the show, please rate it as such and leave comments. I think that might help with the visibility. Of course, you never know with any of these things. But we have direct links to a lot of different podcast platforms. We can listen to it in audio format. And we have links to the video platforms where we put the full show up as well as some clips

each day that we put there. And while we're talking about this, I've been thinking because there's some other things that I really do need to get done. There's some songs that I wanted to get done that I've had for a very long time that I've written and I want to get them recorded and trying to figure out how I can buy myself some time. And I think what I'm going to do, we've always tried to spend time after the show giving a kind of a detailed breakdown of where we change topics. And so we talk about a lot of different things. And I think we're going to go with a more general description each day because that is the thing that really grinds me down at the end of the day. It seems to take all of my time. It's one thing spending four or five hours the evening before and then four or five hours collecting the news

and then three or four hours in the morning putting the news together and then doing the show. But then afterwards, to go back and to wait for the transcript to come and then to break this into different pieces. That's been a real grind. So, um, let me know if you think that's really important or not, if you want to give me some feedback about that, but maybe we'll just do it and see if we get feedback. I'd much rather have a situation where we start to put stuff up on sub stack and where we could do some articles and some things like that but i do want to get some of these things done that have been a real felt a real burden to get this stuff done uh so

we have gerald slinky he's going to be joining us in the third hour and i just want to remind you that um we're talking about he's got a lot of stuff on trends journal we're talking about that today he's always been ahead of the curve and this commercial real estate stuff is really coming up to the top right now may take down the banking system so if you want to um sign up for trends journal he's always been way ahead of the curve with this stuff uh 10 off uh if you use the promo code night if you subscribe to trends journal and uh so and also since i'm well we'll be getting into some financial news when gerald joins us but again when we're talking about getting away from all this stuff and decentralizing uh you know the the best thing you're going to have to do something in terms

of building community in terms of having skills but you also need to have some money that you keep that you possess that's in your possession things like gold and need to have some money that you keep, that you possess, that's in your possession, things like gold and silver, that is real money that you hold. And if you want to do that, davidknight.gold will take you to Tony Arterman. And Tony has always been a big supporter of this show in many different ways, hosting for us as well as helping us. And so if you want to let him know that you came through me, go to davidknight.gold. That'll take you to wisewolf.gold. You can buy any amount of gold or silver and you can set it up on a monthly basis. He has what he calls a Wolfpack where you can sign up. I think he's got like a

$50 is where you can start and you can go up to pretty much any amount, and it's creating a community with that. It's a really good thing. I think he even set up one that's cheaper called Wolfpack Kids, which may start around $35. Yeah, that's right. Yeah, some stuff there for your kids to get them started. Saving real money. Very important.

Before we get into the regular politics, though, let me talk about this one aspect. Before we start talking about the candidates, let me talk about an important issue, an important way to talk about this one aspect. Before we start talking about the candidates, let me talk about an important issue. An important way to look at this political stuff. This is a story from Bill King at realclearpolitics.com. And let me tell you, it's really clear that his politics are Machiavellian. And when he looks at it, he says, you know, we've got the same thing that,

was it Martha McCollum, the Fox News host? You know, abortion is a losing issue, she said. Well, I guess that depends on how you define winning, isn't it? You want to lose your country? Don't have kids. You want to lose your old age? Don't have kids. You'll end up totally alone. Other things like that.

Look, we need to get people to understand that children are a blessing from God, number one. That's the truth. We shouldn't have a problem telling people what is obviously true. We need to celebrate our time with our kids. We need to get involved with our kids, homeschool them and that type of thing. You homeschool your kids, you're going to understand what a blessing they are.

You're going to have a relationship with them instead of them only having a relationship with their peers at school or their teachers who are trying to turn them into something that they aren't. So, you know, children are a blessing from God. And we need to show what an abomination abortion truly is. Now, these are true issues. We don't have to defend the truth.

I think, what was it, Augustine who said it? You don't defend the truth. You unleash it like a lion, you know, like the Lion of Judah, that type of thing. The truth is on our side. Good is on our side. We shouldn't run from this. And we shouldn't think that the politicians are going to explain what is true and good. Do they ever explain what?

Do they even know what is true and good? No, they don't. And they're being directed, for the most part, by these billionaire donors to the GOP, who, forget about the Democrats. I mean, they've just gone to the dark side so deeply, you know, the Democrat politicians. But the GOP politicians will talk about these issues. They're still fundamentally controlled by these billionaire donors, who want to mutilate your kids with this LGBT grooming stuff. And they want, if they can't kill them before birth. And, uh, you know, that's what they've come right out and said that, you know, when DeSantis made a big part of his campaign about those issues. And people liked the fact that he had made, he'd done those things in Florida.

You know, he went against the tide. Trump was pulling everybody down everywhere in the country, except in Florida. Florida turned deep red because he pushed back against the Trump policies of lockdown and mandatory vaccination and the rest of this stuff somewhat. And because he pushed back against some of these other things. So this article from Bill King at Real Clear Machiavellian Politics says abortion. The Republican Party is albatross.

Don't think of it as an albatross. The worst case scenario, you might say this is our cross to bear. Right? This is where we have work to do. an albatross. The worst case scenario, you might say this is our cross to bear, right? This is where we have work to do. And let's do it and show people, first of all, how wonderful kids are, and secondly, how horrible ripping them apart is. Just show them the picture. Show them what abortion is. And then show them what a child is. Why is that so hard? Can't we as Christians do this? See, as he says,

he starts going through all the different things. And let me tell you, this is why democracy is two wolves and a sheep deciding what's for dinner. Or you might say it's two adult wolves deciding whether or not they're going to eat the baby wolf. Right? Slightly over half of the American people have believed that abortion should be legal in some circumstances. Oh, there you go, democracy.

Just over a quarter believe that it should be legal in some circumstances. Oh, there you go, democracy. Just over a quarter believe that it should be legal in all circumstances, and about 17% believe that it should be illegal under any circumstances. So who are you going to go with? Well, you're going to go with the wolves that want to eat their kids, right? Only 13% of Americans said that abortion should be illegal in all circumstances. Well, I'm glad to be in that minority. We've got to stop with the polling and the focus groups. We've got to stop pandering to these billionaires who are buying our politicians.

And we've got to stop listening to the media people who tell us that winning is everything. And they define what winning is. Look look we all want to win but you understand there's different definitions of that and so um he says i've not been able to find any poll in any state where there's anywhere close to a majority that believes that it should be illegal under all circumstances this This is our fault. If you oppose the mutilation of children, you need to speak out about this stuff. And you need to show people what it looks like.

It might get you kicked off of social media to show pictures of aborted babies. I'm sure it would. You could pass around that animated film. That is not as explicit, as explicit, but it is very powerful. The one that I did is called, what was it called? The Procedure. Had Kevin Sorbo animate that.

Look for that. Put that stuff on your social media for people to see. That is incredibly powerful and truthful. He says, nevertheless, even though we're losing in all these numbers republicans and state legislatures across the country are pushing abortion restrictions that are clearly out of step with the nation's mood why is this he said can't understand it i mean we just you know take a poll and we give people what they want that's the way the news media operates right oh well Oh, well, most people like President Trump, so I'm going to like President Trump as well. I'll tell everybody how wonderful he is because that's what they want to hear. As Glenn Greenwald said, the way the news

media operates now, people look at a demographic, they scope it out. What do these people like? What do they believe? Okay, I'm going to reinforce that for them. I'm going to tell them that that's the way they want to see the world. I'm going to help them to see it even more strongly. And that's a business model, a successful business model, by the way. That's what Tucker's doing. Because typically only about 10% of voters show up for the Republican primaries and virtually all of the 10 to 15% of Americans who believe that abortion should be illegal in any circumstance vote in Republican primaries. So this is a problem, he says, for the Republican Party.

And they have no solution. And they're unlikely to be resolved at any time in the foreseeable future. He says, why is that? Well, because the people that believe, they don't like to see babies chopped up into pieces. For them, this is a fervent religious belief and he said which means that we're not persuadable to moderate you're absolutely right this is a non-negotiable there isn't any stage at which i'm going to sign off on tearing a baby to pieces? None. Not at any point in time. Not at any level. And so this is a foundational belief. We've got to get back to having some principles about some

things, don't you think? And wouldn't it be a great place to start to have principles about not chopping up kids, not mutilating them when they're young teens either, or younger? Wouldn't that be a good place to start? If we want to start getting some principles, maybe we should adopt those principles. They're easy to defend. And if we can't defend those, we can't defend any of these more abstract things like, well, I shouldn't have to get your permission to feed my family, should I? So they said they will not compromise on this issue. Now let me give you the opposite side that this guy from real clear Machiavellian politics does not tell you.

Bill King. Most abortion supporters don't have any firmly held positions. Most abortion supporters haven't really thought this through. Most abortion supporters don't know what they are supporting. They haven't really thought this through. Most abortion supporters don't know what they are supporting. They haven't seen it. That's been kept from them by the press, by the politicians, by Planned Parenthood. We have to break through that.

We have to show them what that is. We have, should have, deeply held religious aversion to doing this sort of thing. These people, most of them, there's a few of them who think that abortion is a R-I-T-E right. It's a religious right to them. I talked about that yesterday in Colorado. But most of these people do not have some kind of deviant religious belief about abortion. Most of them are just ignorant. And that's where we win.

We show people what this is. And quite frankly, folks, if we get to the point where you can show somebody what an abortion is, if you can show a baby being ripped apart, if you can show them the procedure, that animated film, if you can do that and they're not moved by that, this country doesn't deserve to exist. Doesn't deserve to exist. We deserve to get the Democrats and God's judgment good and hard under those kind of circumstances. The Ohio results, he said, come in the wake of voters in red states of Kansas, Kentucky, Montana,

solidly defeating ballot measures that were advanced by anti-abortion activists. So, again, in Ohio, they've prepared the way to have a constitutional amendment in November with just a simple majority, and they are going to make it legal to chop kids up. As long as the Supreme Court had state legislatures handcuffed in the Roe ruling, and they were never handcuffed, they submitted willingly to that. I've said that all along.

I said the appropriate response to Roe v. Wade was, well, you've made your decision, let's see you enforce it. Same thing that Andrew Jackson said to the Supreme Court when they gave him the decision. And that was true.

What he was doing was wrong with the Cherokee. But his understanding of the Constitution was, you don't have the power to enforce this, and you don't have the authority either. And that's what everybody should have said to the Supreme Court over Roe v. Wade. But he says the problem is that while that was there, Republican members could campaign on abortion,

but then they could say, but I can't do anything about it because the Supreme Court is there. They've lost that now. They can't pretend that they're powerless. Do you understand why we're being run by a bureaucracy that is doing taxation without representation and doing regulation without representation? Do you understand why that is? It is because the same thing that you saw happen with these people who said, oh yeah, I'm all about protecting life, and so vote for me. And then they get in there, well, there's nothing I can do about it. It's out of my hands. The judiciary's got it. Or in most cases,

it's the bureaucracy has it. And I can't do anything about that. So they want to have that excuse where they can't do anything about it. And the deep state is 100% underneath the president. And so when you have a situation, a good example of this, and I've talked about it many times, was Trump who talked about DACA. That was an executive order from the Obama administration. It was actually an order from his attorney general saying, I'm not going to enforce immigration law. I'm not going to enforce it. I know I took an oath that I'm going to enforce the laws of this country

and everything, but I'm not going to enforce it. That was an executive order from that. Trump comes in and pretends that he can't get rid of the executive order from the previous administration. He comes in, and his first response, and a lot of people in his administration were telling him, well, this Paris Climate Accord thing, it's a treaty. But besides the fact that it wasn't passed by the Senate, this is something that Obama put in. You can't do anything about it. You can't do anything about DACA. Obama put

that in there. Well, it was an executive order. You can get rid of it. But he instead, Trump pretended that there was nothing that he could do about it, and he sent it to the court. The court said, yeah, we don't want you to change this. So he did nothing. And he said, well, my hands are tied. I really would like to do something about this, but I can't do it. We see that happening with every one of these issues. And it is why the legislative branch, especially, has deferred to the bureaucracies that are the deep state that is all under the executive branch. But then the executive, when it comes to running those organizations, says, well, I can't do anything about that. I have to ask the court system to do something about that. They're all passing the buck to somebody else. That's one thing Truman got right. I'm not a big fan of Harry Truman, but,

you know, he said the buck stops here. Historically, abortion has been listed by relatively few voters among as their most important issue, but that is probably because most viewed the issue as settled by Roe. However, with abortion back on the agenda in many states, this is likely to change, especially those all-important white suburban women who lean Republican but are also willing to switch sides. Most of these women are not pro-abortion, but they also know from their own personal experience the complexity that many women face with their pregnancies, and they resent rigid state laws limiting the options that women have. Of course, nobody likes to have laws. Nobody likes to be told you've got to have a vaccine.

Nobody likes to be told you've got to put a mask on your face, but that's not what's happening here. You've got to show them, first of all, the evil of abortion, as I said, and we have lost the idea in our society that children are a blessing. You've got to show them, first of all, the evil of abortion, as I said. And we have lost the idea in our society that children are a blessing, that children are something that is desirable. We've got a lot of work to do to show people how wonderful that is. The only thing that will keep the Republican Party from suffering a real freefall from its extreme anti-abortion agenda next November is that swing voters also view the Democrat Party as driven to

extremes by its ideologues. So in other words, you know, both of them are really horrible. You know, just like Biden is horrible, Trump is horrible. Which one do you think is more horrible than the other one? We'll vote for the other one. That's what he's saying. No, we have good on our side. We have truth on our side. And it's our problem if we don't unleash that and show that. It's our problem that people don't want this. It's just unnatural. You know, killing your kids, not wanting kids is as unnatural as what they're doing to our kids that we have surrendered to the state to educate. So Fox News is out there telling Christians that they should not fear artificial intelligence. They should partner with it.

Fox News. And Southern Baptist Convention is also permitting its use. And so, you know, when we look at this, again, any kind of technology, it can be used for good or bad, obviously. But what bothers me about this is that we know, as we're starting to use ChatGPT, and I've said this from the very beginning, it's the whole fallacy. I've got a computer printout here. Oh, well, okay, well, you got some computer model

and it printed out some results. Okay, well, no, it's always garbage in, garbage out. That's one of the first things you get drilled into you, and then you figure it out when you start programming the computer that it doesn't always give you the right answers. So take it with a grain of salt. If it's useful, fine.

But the danger is that we get drawn into it as an authority figure. Because look at what we've done with authority figures like Anthony Fauci or the Washington Post or the New York Times or mainstream media in general or even alternative media. Never stop thinking for yourself. And that's the danger with all this stuff. And as the stuff gets better and better, that's going to be the danger. And the danger is the subtlety, right? The serpent was the most subtle of all the animals in the garden. And so this is not going to be very clear-cut, especially to later generations who have grown up on this stuff and don't have the...

So instead of embracing it, you don't need to tell people to embrace it. You need to give them warnings about it. They're going to embrace it to some degree or the other naturally, right? So you need to give them warnings about it. And so, you know, for the Christian who believes, this is the way they're saying, for the Christian who believes in God-designed intelligence, this should provide a good reason for worship and awe. This is the same type of stuff that they had the pastors, people like Al Mohler, people like Robert Jeffries, who was in Dallas.

They're telling people, look, God gave us the ability to do science, and what did we do with it? We created the mRNA vaccine. It's like, yeah, it was a fallen world, isn't it? God gave us the ability to use our minds, and we put it to evil use to create this type of thing and force it on people without testing it even. Or maybe they did test it. Maybe they didn't know exactly what it was going to do. But you know, this is a moonshot. This is a miracle and we should thank

God for science and all the rest of the stuff. And now they're doing the same thing with artificial intelligence. Despite our advances in designing silicon-based intelligence the architecture and capabilities of human and animal nervous systems reflect the amazing detail that god has infused into us as human beings and our creativity can create this and this is good because humans have created it and you know god made us smart and we did this kind of stuff with it. No, no. Christians in this essay, Christians have a rich history of adopting new technologies and using them to spread God's love. Writing things down from Hebrew commandments and scriptures to the Gospels and Paul's letters and then sending those writings to others was all cutting-edge technology at one point in time.

And so, again, use the capability of messages and everything, but this should all come with a big warning. They talk about radio and television. Well, you know, radio and television were also used by Goebbels, right? Also used by Edward Bernays, who used the printing press for evil. You can print up Bibles, but you can also print up propaganda, can't you? We need to put these things in context. And they're selling the technology as good.

Technology is neither good nor evil. It is a tool, and it can be used for any kind of purpose. And so that really is the bigger issue here. Bank of America has closed down the account of a Christian charity because he has given money to help impoverished Ugandans and they don't what is the problem why don't they want to have Ugandans help well because we've seen people even Ted Cruz and others saying well Uganda is horrible they weren't horrible when they

had in a totalitarian dictator who was killing his own people. They have Marxists in charge. It's not awful. But if they come out and say they're not going to allow homosexuality and they're not going to allow homosexual marriage, now we've got to purge them. You see the war? They don't care that he kills his own people. They don't care that it's a totalitarian state,

but boy, you better embrace homosexual marriage or we will not allow money to be given to the poor people. And if you've got a Christian charity that's going to give money to poor people in Uganda, Bank of America is going to shut you down. You see where this is going? Do you see where the persecution is coming at us from? Persecution of this country is not coming at us from Muslims or any other religious

group like it is in other countries. You know, other countries, the Hindus get in charge and they kill the Christians and the Muslims, or in Pakistan, the Muslims get in charge and they kill the Christians and the Hindus. The religious persecution is coming from LGBT. The people in Uganda, whatever their form of government is, and whoever is in charge, they understand that. They understand that the LGBT agenda is a prescription for not only perversion and the abuse of children but is also a prescription for religious persecution and so the bank of america proves that to people well we're speaking of chat gpt i had a listener who sent this to me. I'd mentioned something about the episode in the book of John where Jesus, they bring a woman who's caught in adultery to him, and he kind of intervenes, and he writes something on the ground,

and he says, whoever among you is without sin, let them cast the first stone. And the people walk away. And so he said, so I put this in, he said, and I asked Chet GPT about actually his bard AI, I think. And he said, it was kind of interesting. And it was in fact, interesting because it speculates about what did he write on the ground. And, of course, we don't know, and it says we don't know. So that's good. At least it says we don't know. It's not hallucinating about it.

But it offers some interesting possibilities. It says there's a few theories about this. One theory is that maybe Jesus wrote the sins of the people who were accusing him. This is supported by the fact that the accusers stopped accusing him after he wrote on the ground. Another theory is that Jesus wrote the Hebrew word for Tasha, which means guilty. This would have been a powerful statement as it would have been seen as a judgment from God. A third theory is that Jesus wrote nothing at all. And this is supported by the fact that the Bible says that he bent down and wrote with his finger on the ground. This could simply mean that he was drawing a picture he's marking with some other

kind of mark ultimately it remains a mystery that is unsolved and so um and a powerful reminder of his authority and power when you look at it uh they write down the sins of the people you know was it a long uh thing that was there i think it's even simpler than that. You know, when you look at it, we get something of a clue. You know, he says, so whoever's without sin, let them cast the first stone. And it says the people turned away from the oldest to the youngest, you know, the oldest first. Because they're the ones who have the memory of the most things that they have done in their life. But I think it's also interesting what is not said. Because I brought this woman who was, as it says, caught in the act of adultery.

Just caught in the act. So where's the guy? Where's the guy? Something else is going on here as well. And so all those things are involved. And when we look at this, this is one of the reasons why we need to look at it ourselves. And one of the reasons why, even though it might come up with some interesting theories, there are even more interesting answers in the text itself. Well, we're going to take a quick break.

When we come back, we're going to take a look at the booking of President Trump and some other follow-up on the debate. There was actually something that I missed in the debate, which I thought was very significant. So we'll talk about that when we return. Thank you. You're listening to The David Knight Show. Well, President Trump went for his mugshot, the first one of these four indictments where they've actually taken a mugshot, and they released it publicly, and so he had a preplanned scowl.

He tries to look as bad-ass as possible. I don't know if that's going to help him. Right. They'll help him with his voters. Probably. That's what they want to see. I thought it was kind of interesting. I saw there, you know, there's one person who's going to jail. You'll never guess who it is. They don't make bail. One person is going to jail. There's a guy, a black man, the black man who was indicted is going to go to jail. All the rest of these people are going to walk.

I'm serious. Out of the 19 people, one person could not get bond and is going to go to jail. And I first noticed it because I saw his name. His name was Harrison Floyd. And I thought, Harrison Ford? No, Floyd. Not Ford. Floyd. He ran Black Voices for Trump.

You know what happens to Black Voices for Trump? Seriously, this guy, he must not have the money, and Trump is going to let him swing. He's not helping anybody with their defense. Not a good look, number one, not a good legal strategy, number two. And so he's not helping anybody with their legal defense. He's not helping this guy make bail. This guy, if anybody's going to go to jail, it'll be him. Because if he can't make bail, if he doesn't have money for bail, he probably doesn't have money for a lawyer.

Certainly not the best lawyer that money can buy, which is what Trump's got. And they've escalated these baseless charges, but he's not going to, he's going to have maybe a public defender or something's going to come in there. You know, somebody's like, I don't know, you know, whatever. Just going through the routine. I tell you, you know, I don't understand why people don't see this in Trump. He has no loyalty to anyone, none whatsoever.

He demands absolute loyalty to him from everyone, but he does not return any of that to anyone. Well, one of the things that I missed out of the debate, because for the Trump interview with Tucker, I was able to download that and get a transcript. I was never able to find the full debate in any form and download that. I tried to download the live thing and it would not download for me. But what I missed was this response from DeSantis because I'd said, nobody's talking about what happened with the lockdowns and the jabs and the vaccines.

And DeSantis went there very briefly. It was in a back and forth between Pence and pharma Swami. And, uh, he said, you guys are arguing about the, uh, the economic effects and everything in this mess. He says, well, he says, why are we in this mess? As the two of them are fighting about it. He said, part of it and a major reason is how this federal government handled COVID-19 by locking down this economy.

It was a mistake. It should never have happened. Boom. And in Florida, we led the country out of the lockdown. We kept our state free and open. As your president, I will never let the deep state bureaucrats lock you down. You don't take somebody like Fauci and coddle him. You bring Fauci, you set him down, and you say, Anthony, you're fired.

Well, they didn't talk about this. I saw one thing, a headline, somebody pulled it up and they said, oh, look, he's stealing Trump's line. You're fired, you're fired, you know, from The Apprentice. Trump didn't use that line on Fauci. He should have. Everybody was at his rallies before the election, everybody was shouting at him and begging him to fire Fauci.

We'll see. Elect me. We'll see. And he gives him a medal. But good for him. I'm glad that he took this thing on. I'm glad that he pointed out the obvious. This is one of the reasons why Trump didn't want to go. Because, you know, Nikki Haley pointed out, you put us in debt $8 trillion. And what was that about? You tried to buy us off with STEMI checks, get us adjusted to universal basic income with this stuff, and then for that purpose you put us in $8 trillion in debt? DeSantis's comment was his first in-person confrontation with Pence over the Trump administration's pandemic legacy since announcing his candidacy.

Also, by default, directing it at former President Trump, who chose not to participate. As President, Trump issued guidance. No, he issued orders. There were orders with Fauci. There were orders that he would bribebe and he bribed the governors, not just Democrats, but Republicans. He bribed Democrats to do this.

He bribed Republican governors to do this. He gave them orders and he bribed them. He issued this stuff with states that they should lock down to slow the spread of the virus. And they point out, this is National Review, they point out that DeSantis was not the first governor to begin reopening.

However, when Georgia Governor Brian Kemp began to reopen in April of 2020, Trump criticized him at a White House press conference. And he had Fauci there alongside him. And then Trump said, I told the governor of Georgia, Brian Kemp, I disagree strongly with his decision to open certain facilities. And then Fauci chimes in as well. In response to Trump's allegations, DeSantis has called him out for his cozy relationship during the last year of his tenure with Fauci, who rubber-stamped the COVID directives on masking and vaccine, including on children and on social distancing. But now Trump is bashing his own vaccine to go after DeSantis. Because DeSantis

is going down this tact of criticizing Trump for the vaccines and for keeping Fauci on board and for the lockdowns and the rest of this stuff. Trump came out and criticized DeSantis for using the vaccine. The vaccine that Trump is so proud of. The vaccine that Trump says saved millions of lives. The vaccine that he claims to be the father of. And this is how delusional the guy is. He put out a tweet, not only accusing DeSantis of giving out the vaccine,

but he also said, and the guy that he bragged about giving the shot to, that guy died four months later, implying that Trump's shot killed him. Might have. The guy was elderly. He was 100 years old, but might have been other comorbidities. But, of course, if Fauci's going to play the game of saying, well, anybody that I get a PCR test with, if they die, it's obviously from COVID.

Well, if that's the case, then I'm going to play the game that anybody that you shoot, if they die within a couple of months or a couple of weeks or a couple of hours, I think it's your vaccine. The governor has attempted to outflank Trump on his right on a host of issues, including the vaccine as part of operation warp speed. I saw somebody abbreviating that the other day and they had it as OWS. I thought that's pretty appropriate. Owls, owls, right? The vaccine has become fodder. This is coming, by the way, from Mediaite. Mediaite's a left-wing publication, so they love the vaccine.

So listen to the way they, they, they actually defend Trump here. The vaccines become fodder for conspiracy theorists who have claimed the vaccine is ineffective or even deadly. Not a claim. It's been proven. Study after study after study. This is the kill shot. The, the democide that has been sent around the world by Trump. He didn't save lives.

He killed millions of people and still killing people and will be killing people. These kids that he gave myocarditis to, uh, you know, that's why they're dropping dead heart damage, heart damage. They got half of them. If they got myocarditis, statistically, half of them will die of a heart attack within five years. This is going to be a continuing thing. In 2021, DeSantis even appointed a vaccine skeptic to be Florida's Surgeon General.

The governor has also refused to say whether he received any of the booster shots himself. In response, Trump has downplayed Operation Warp Speed, but on Thursday he took matters to a different level by derisively sharing a video of DeSantis promoting the vaccine. You see, once DeSantis criticized him on the lockdown, now Trump's got to come out and come after DeSantis for using Trump's vaccine. The Post says, Wake me up when DeSantis apologizes for vaccinating more people than Trump

and Fauci combined. Trump, you vaccinated everybody. You take credit for it when you say that it's effective and safe. You take credit for every single shot. Well, I'm going to give you credit for the deaths as well. You lying piece of filth. You adulterous lying thief. You can't even run a casino and make a profit. You go out of business with a casino. He says, here is DeSantis bragging about vaccinating a million people in Florida by vaccinating the one millionth person live on TV, Henry Saylor, who died four months later. Well, I tell you, there is no depth that Trump will not sink to. And no matter how contradictory and vacillating he is, his cult will never figure it out. Never figure it out.

Trump stopped talking about the vaccine. Well, he stopped talking about it. Now he's going to say that it's bad. And the people who killed people are the governors who gave people who shot. Look, DeSantis is guilty of that. But the bigger guilt is on Trump. And he says, I didn't. And he defends Fauci.

You notice that? Trump attacks DeSantis and defends Fauci. He is still defending Fauci. He's just not defending the vaccine anymore. Isn't that odd? The man has absolutely no logic. He doesn't know. He does things, as his lawyer said, that he thinks are in his own perceived self-interest or out of revenge, but he doesn't realize how he is

indicting himself as a murderer. So Mediate says, well, the post is a far cry from Trump's original remarks on the vaccine, where he said, you're going to be very proud of of this day you're going to be very proud of this period of time because nobody thought this was possible nobody thought it was even remotely possible to do what we've done in a period of less than nine months something that was just not even thinkable well i agree with that i thought that this um rushing this thing through without any testing, uh, a completely novel thing. Nobody had ever had any medicine, let alone a vaccine that was used MRNA. It was absolutely, he said, nobody would ever thought this would be possible. You're right, Trump. It was unthinkable. It was unthinkable to any thinking person and you've killed and

damaged so many people. It's unbelievable. So reason went after Tucker Carlson. Listen, they said the same thing about Tucker Carlson's interview that I did. Tucker Carlson's sycophantic interview with Trump illustrates the advantages of skipping debates. It's no mystery why the former president preferred a forum in which his record and his positions would face no serious challenge.

And what's really bad about this is that Tucker can be really good in terms of challenging people if he wants to. And we saw that when he had the forum and he had a chance to go one-on-one, same format that he did with Trump. He had an opportunity to go one-on-one, same format that he did with Trump. He had an opportunity to go one-on-one for, what was it, about 15 minutes or something with all of the different candidates, pretty much, except for Trump. That was where he just eviscerated Pence.

You know, you keep pouring money into Ukraine. Don't you care about Americans here? That's not my concern, said Pence. And he had a lot of things like that. You know, all these other candidates. He didn't do any of that with Trump. And as Reason points out, Tucker began by saying,

well, whatever you think of Trump, he is, as of tonight, the indisputable, far and away, frontrunner in the Republican race. And Reason says, whatever you think of Trump, whatever we think of Trump, well, we know what Tucker thought of Trump because we've had these texts come out as part of that lawsuit.

And the text said that he was not a fan of Trump. Let me tell you, I've been behind the scenes and I've seen all these sycophants of Trump. I've seen Roger Stone. I've seen Alex Jones. I've seen all of these people. They despise him behind the scenes. And they've been caught talking about it.

We've got video clips of Alex saying that. And then we'll turn around and praise him. Why? Because that's where his money comes from. And because the MAGA people are such sheep. Not only can they not look at Trump criticizing DeSantis over the Trump vaccine and praising Fauci over the Trump vaccine. We didn't kill anybody. He killed the people.

He gave them the vaccines. They say that's like Hitler saying, you know, Hey, I didn't shoot anybody. My troops did. What are you coming after me for? Right? Well, I've seen all these guys do it. This is what we know from Tucker Carlson. He said, uh, there isn't really an upside to Trump.

He said in a text message to his staff on January the 4th, he said, the last four years have been a disaster. We're very, very close to being able to ignore Trump most nights. I truly can't wait. I hate him passionately. I've heard this over and over again from Alex, from Roger. The difference is, is that we don't have a video clip of Trump saying this, and we got video clips of the two of them saying that, uh, we are very,

very close to being able to ignore him most nights. I can't wait. I hate him passionately. He called him a demonic force. He called him a destroyer, but then Carlson supports this demonic destroyer. He supports demonic destroying politicians. He supports demonic destroying policies. He supports demonic destroying pharmaceutical companies who pay his salary.

And now his salary is going to be paid by the Maga people. So he will support Trump. Trump said, well, why, he asked him about the debate, says, why put up with all of these people screaming at me, shouting questions at me, which he contradictorily claimed, he said he loves answering them. When he could just sit down with an interviewer who is desperate to please him, especially in light of the criticism revealed

in those embarrassing text messages. And so that's the tact that reason takes. It's like, you know, he's got to be a sycophant in order to appeal to this base, which is going to be the base of his financial future there. When Trump complained about absentee ballots, Carlson echoed his concerns. He said, anytime you got mail-in ballots,

you're going to have massive cheating, said Trump. Well, who was it that gave us the vote by mail? Who was it that gave us a situation where jurisdictions were mailing out ballots to everyone? And some jurisdictions were sending, you know, some people were getting ballots from multiple jurisdictions. Who did that? Well, that was a Trump precedent, just like gun control without, uh, um, you know, by executive order, all these different Trump precedents that were put out there rather than ask Trump for any evidence that Biden didn't actually win the election. Carlson seemed to take it as a given. He said, you're saying they stole it from you last time. So why wouldn't they do the same thing this time? Especially since we've now got the precedent that has been locked in of voting by mail

over many, many days and the ballot harvesting. And of course, Trump says, well, I'm going to do ballot harvesting and cheating better than they do. The guy who went bankrupt running a casino. And so Trump got the same softball treatment. They call it a softball treatment. I called, I said, it's beyond softball. When I talked about it, I said it was disgusting. It was a wiffle ball. It was a wiffle

ball on a tea stand. It was like tea ball. How do you get indicted? How do you do this every week and stay cheerful? Said sycophant Tucker. And so Carlson let Trump blather on his usual stream of consciousness fashion. That's what I looked at. It's like, they're just all over the place. But I looked at the thing about Jeffrey Epstein. What really bothered me about that? I said, he's going to ask him about Jeffrey Epstein and whether or not he was murdered or committed suicide.

You're not going to ask him about the pictures of him with Jeffrey Epstein partying and the pictures of Melania rubbing herself up against Jeffrey Epstein and a sexual drunken way. You're not going to ask him about any of that stuff or the flights or any of that sort of thing. You're just going to ask him about that. That made me really angry. And then I realized because of the follow-up question, do you think they're going to kill you? You understand that's why he asked him about Jeffrey Epstein. To lay that out there. Oh, they want to get you in prison so they can kill you. Tucker knows what happened with Trump and Epstein.

Everybody knows what happened with these people. Literally in bed with him. Okay? And so you're going to cover that up and make Trump a victim by talking about Jeffrey Epstein, how they were able to get away with murdering him in prison. It's just, Tucker wasn't just a sycophant.

He was sickening, sickening in what he did. He can go any direction. It's truly amazing. On Rumble, before we go to Gerald Salenti, who's now joined us. On Rumble, thank you, Rock. I'm not going to try to pronounce your last name because I'm sure I won't get it right. Thank you very much for the tip. He said, thanks for your work, David.

I wish someday for an interview, David Knight and David Ike, two people that opened my eyes the most in my life. Thank you so much. Well, I appreciate that. Um, I would have some questions for David. David Ike is, uh, you know, well, we won't get into the, uh, the lizard people and stuff like that, but it'd be interesting. Asking him why he rejects, if he believes in something like that, why he rejects out of hand the Bible. I'd like to talk to him about that and say, well, I've got some evidence here. Would you like to hear it? Rockfin, Mr. Goldfold, thank you very much.

He says, Travis, don't let DK go all raving. He's a heart attack survivor. Calm down. Well, thank you. We're going to calm down. We're going to talk to Gerald. I'm going to let Gerald do some raving. Nobody can raving. He's a heart attack survivor. Calm down. Well, thank you. We're going to calm down. We're going to talk to Gerald. I'm going to let Gerald do some raving. Nobody can rave like Gerald. So we're going to take a quick break and we'll be right back. ¶¶ In a world of deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act. You're listening to The David Knight Show. Well, joining us now is Gerald Cilenti of Trends Journal, as I pointed out earlier in the show, TrendsJournal.com, a great resource.

Gerald has been out in front of all this stuff so long. CVDC, this commercial real estate debacle that we're seeing happening now and what it's going to do to the banking industry. Everybody's just now catching up to what Gerald said about this a long time back. But I was just talking to Gerald and he said he wanted to pick up on what I was talking about with Trump. He said he just got a letter from a subscriber of his talking about the vaccine stuff. But did you hear Gerald when I talked about Trump, you know, after DeSantis criticized Trump for lockdown on the Wednesday night debate Thursday, Trump came out and said, you know, DeSantis vaccinated a million people.

And the one millionth person that he vaccinated, that guy died four months later. I didn't vaccinate anybody and neither did Fauci. Can you believe that? Isn't that amazing? Look, Trump is a liar. And by the way, just so everybody gets this straight, this is the Trends Journal from the winter of 2017. It is Trump. Crusades 2000, Crusader Trump.

We were the first magazine to call him a winner in May of 2016. So it's not whether I like Trump, hate Trump. It's the facts. He lied his way into office with three big promises. Number one, I'm going to build a fence. They're not going to come in anymore. They're the immigrants, the refugees. I know, isn't that funny?

Number one line of BS. Number two, we're going to repair the rotten infrastructure. Anybody could look this up. Yeah. We're going to didn't do anything to repair our rotted infrastructure. Number three, I'm going to lower taxes. He did. He lowered taxes.

And according to the Tax Policy Institute, the 1% got 64% of all the advantages of the tax cuts. Yep. Stock buybacks the next year, because he lowered taxes to the big corporations and the rich like himself, stock buybacks hit a record $1 trillion plus of the companies buying back their stocks. The BS that the clowns said was, we're giving the geese tax breaks. What they're going to do is they're going to put the money back into capital investments. No, they didn't. They put it into stock buybacks to artificially prop up the markets yeah so going back to trump and the guy that brought us the operation warp speed that again it's in your trends journal we write about things you know the facts as they're going on you go back to 2020 before the elections

harris and biden made fun of trump they did not trust the vaccine because it was pushed through so quickly by trump he was doing it to get votes. Yes, I remember. Yeah, that's right. Now, this is from a subscriber that just came in this morning. So when I heard what you said, I have to read this. Dear Gerald, I hope Trump rots in jail. Why? Because he ushered in untested shots that killed and injured people.

The young 30-something professor that she told me about is still in ICU 10 weeks now. She kept falling, many broken vertebrae. Can't operate due to blood clots all over her sweet body. The dad works with my husband.

He is so distraught. I send food for him and pray for her. Gerald, not sure if you have children, but as a mom of three, I am heartbroken. I'm asking God to spare his only daughter, this guy who she mentions. This is Trump's fault. She was forced to take the jab to keep her job. Trump ushered in the COVID cult. Biden ran with it. Fauci is living up with it. F-U Fauci. Dirty demon. Can't wait to hear he died. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Well, you know, that's one of the things you mentioned that she was coerced into taking it to keep her job,

right? And I said that to people before the election. I said, after what Trump has done to us this year, there's no way I would vote for that guy under any circumstances. And they said, well, you has done to us this year, there's no way I would vote for that guy under any circumstances. And they said, well, you better vote for him because if Biden gets in, he's going to force it. And I said, but if Trump gets in, he'll still coerce it. He'll do it through the private companies. And that's really where most of the coercion went through. You had Biden who forced it on the people in the military, right?

But they're fond of saying, well, we didn't force anybody to take the vaccine. We gave them the option. You can have a life or you can take, uh, or, you know, and take the vaccine, or you can have no life and no job and not take the vaccine. And a lot of that was exactly the way it was going to be done with Trump. Uh, they wouldn't incentivize it more like, uh, what DeWine did in Ohio, where he said, Hey, if you take the vaccine, guess what? Uh, you might win a million win a million dollars, or you might die, or you might be disabled the rest of your life. But, you know, it's the lottery.

Just go ahead and sign up for this. Maybe you're lucky. You feeling lucky, punk? You know, it's going to be that type of thing. I said, that's the way the Republicans will do it. They will do it with bribery and blackmail, and Biden will be more on the blackmail side of it. What did you mention, DeWine?

How about the dope? DeWine, look at that little clown boy of nothing. Look at that little jerk DeWine over there in Ohio. How can you be so stupid to listen to him? Oh, we're not listening to him. We're getting Krispy Kreme donuts. If we get the vaccinations, we'll get free ones. If I take this horrible vaccine, I can eat some horrible junk food.

What's wrong with that? You know, people, the guy wrote to you, whoever said that, don't be angry. Yeah. You ready? He who is not angry when there is just cause for anger is immoral. Why? Because anger looks to the good of justice. And if you can live amid injustice without anger, you are immoral as well as unjust. St. Thomas Aquinas, for all the new Christians out there who are little cowards that suck up and bow down as they rob us of our freedom, our life, our liberty, and the pursuit of happiness and get us murdered. We had a lot of pastors who were pushing that too.

Pastors who were around Trump. They actually had a movement to get pastors to tell that to people. Oh, it's a miracle. God's given us an intellect, and so this is the result of the intellect. It's like, no, that's the result of a fallen world and a fallen human nature is what we're seeing here. Yeah, when we look at it, of course, a lot of times I'll just look at this and I'll just laugh at the dark irony of this stuff. And that's one of the things. I mean, sometimes you just need to back off of this stuff and just say, you know, because God laughs at this stuff.

He laughs in derision, knowing that ultimately these people answer to him. They think that they're going to push God away. You know, sometimes, you know, eventually they will feel his wrath and his anger. But sometimes he just laughs at the futility of what they're trying to do. The key thing is, you know, you talk about. Uh, that was where pharma Swami, that's what I call Rama Swami. I call him pharma Swami because he's a pharmaceutical bro. He worked with Martin Skirali and all the rest of this stuff.

He's not a scientist, even he doesn't even, you know, but he's just a, uh, you know, a con man that's the one line I liked and it was when Chris Christie called him a chat GPT. He is pretty chatty and he is a real gadfly and he's very shallow and he flip flops and all this stuff, but people need to remember that he was part of that COVID team of DeWine and he was pushing one of his companies to do tracking and surveillance of people. Yeah.

Yeah. Oh, that, that, that blimpo, that clown boy, Christy, a little piece of garbage crap calling that guy a skinny guy. Mm-hmm. This blimp calling this guy skinny. This fat slob, a fat, arrogant, slob, jerk, Christie, who goes to Ukraine and promises we're going to keep fighting and giving you all the money and weapons you need. Hey, fat boy, you want to go over there? Go over there and fight. You couldn't fight your way out of a paper bag,

Christie. By the way, they couldn't make a paper bag big enough to put you in. Well, they did find a mask that was big enough to put over his face, and he couldn't find his way out of that. Instead, he put the mask on. He tried to tell us we all had to wear masks as well. Do you remember that? Yeah. I'll never forget Christy doing that, putting a mask on his face and telling us we all had to wear masks.

I mean, give me a break. What a piece of, look at this scum. Look at the scum. All you had to do is watch that. I couldn't watch it. I turned it off. I can't watch this. This is worthless.

It is worthless crap. Yeah, that's right. And these are the people that are destroying our lives. You know, a friend of mine said to me, you know, Gerald, you know, a lot of people, you know, they, they don't like you because they don't like your language. Oh, you don't like my language.

I should be proper in my language when somebody is trying to kill me. That situational language. When someone is trying to kill you, you don't say, oh, please don't hit me. I'll be a good boy. Oh,

please. No, you're in the fight for your life. That's right. We are in the fight for our life. Look what they did with this drug stuff. Yeah. Look at all. You were talking about the myocarditis, all the one after another, one after another.

The facts are all coming out. Blood clots, turbo cancer, all of this stuff, all of this. And the arrogance. The arrogance. Here. This is from the toilet paper of record, the New York Times. August 24th. Almost

two years ago to the date. 2021. Two judges see it here? Mm-hmm. Two judges tell defendants to be vaccinated. Mm-hmm. The defendant was charged with a number of minor crimes, including drug possession.

Oh, you mean like Hunter Biden? Oh, no, he could drug out all he wants. He could steal all he wants. He's the president's son. Anyway. And he's got pictures of himself with minors and sexual positions. That's not a problem either, right? No. The defendant was charged with a number of minor crimes including drug possession and shoplifting. He was prepared to plead guilty, and the prosecutors agreed. But a Bronx judge approving the deal added his own condition. The defendant had to get a COVID-19 vaccine.

A week later, a Manhattan judge made the same order. This time of a woman seeking bail before trial. You ready? Judge Rakoff, how about jerk off,ed that it fell to him. To him. Who the hell are you? Oh, I'm a judge. You're a slimy piece of crap.

You're an arrogant little boy. Judge Ratkoff argued. That it fell to him to determine whether a person seeking release represented a danger to the community. The unvaccinated, he wrote, did pose such a danger, giving their, quote, enhanced risk of infecting other innocent people and even potentially causing their death. How's that for a lot of stupid crap? Hey, arrogant judge, how about the people that got vaccinated that transmitted the virus? Maybe you're too stupid. Hey, how about Obama got it a couple of times, got the COVID? How about Freud Fauci boosted away, got COVID? How about when they had that, oh, that press thing where all the little prostitutes go to meet the president and had the thing and all of them were

vaccinated and all of them, how many of them got the COVID again? Yeah, that's right. But these are only facts. I'm angry. I'm angry. I am an American patriot. I believe in the founding fathers. I believe

in the Bill of Rights and the Constitution. Who the hell are you to tell me what to do? Which, by the way, is one of our t-shirts, as you know. Hey, politicians. Yeah, well, you wear that to the debate if they let you in.

Yep, and here's the other one. Here's the other side. You can get these by going to trendsjournal.com and hitting the shop. People can see the backside of that as the security is hustling you away from the debate there. You know, the thing that bothers me, and we just had another person die, denied, still being denied transplants because they won't take the vaccine because they've got moral objections to it or because even, you know,

it's not healthy for them. Yeah. And one of the things that just another person died, but you know, the one, the worst one, I think of all of these that are, and that's been so many bad ones. I mean, you had one situation where a woman had a friend who was going to donate the kidney. And this was the first time I saw the first one that I heard about. And, um, she wasn't in line to get the kidney and take it away from somebody else. You know, this is her friend was going to donate it specifically to her.

They would not perform the operation for her. Tell her, go back and get in line somewhere else. But we had a guy, the worst one I think was a guy who's, he needed a kidney transplant. They would not give it to him because he wasn't vaccinated. And he died. And then they come around and ask for some organs to be donated to his wife after they killed him for not getting a vaccine. That's the amazing thing to me, that they're still getting away with this stuff, that they're still doing this. That's the most amazing thing.

How about you couldn't go see somebody dying in a hospital or a nursing home? Oh, yeah. Yeah. Maybe more accurately, you couldn't see what the hospital was doing to kill the people, you know, because this is a hospital death protocol. All this ventilator stuff that Trump was pushing and so proud of they're killing people with it and uh you know the remdesivir they're killing people with it never worked never under any circumstances fauci's pushed that every time they had high profile disease he pushed that out there and

everybody said it just doesn't do anything you know people. People don't know this. Again, we write a magazine, and I'm not bragging. There's no magazine that compares to it in the world. That's right. In the series of in-depth trends analysis and trend forecasts we give. That's true. Prior to the COVID war that began on Chinese Lunar New Year 2020, the year of the rat, there were protests going on in Italy and in other countries about forcing children to get vaccinated. Strong protest movements. In the United States,

there were referendums coming up on ballots against forcing children to get vaccinated. This movement, the anti-vax movement, was going very strong before COVID happened. All of this is forgotten. Yeah, I've not forgotten it. I've played Trump in May of 2019. They got to get the shots. They got to get the shots. He got to get the shots. Talking about the measles shot.

You know? I'm saying there was an anti movement going on. Yeah, that's right. A vax movement. And also, going back to China, this is very important. I used to be on Hong Kong TV back in 2019.

There were protests going on in Hong Kong that Beijing could not stop. Over a million people out of 7.5 million were taking to the streets. You can't get a million people out of 332 million in America to take to the streets for anything. Over a million people out of 7.5 million were taking to the streets in protest of Beijing taking over Hong Kong. They launched the COVID war in January, locked down Yuan, locked down Shanghai, locked down, locked down, locked down Hong Kong, passed the security law.

Well, end of the protest, took over, finished. Nobody reports that. Now, China also had three years of zero COVID policy. You go back 10 years ago, we were saying in the Trends Journal that the 20th century was the American century, but the 21st century will be the Chinese century because the business of China is business and the business of America's war. China destroyed itself with this COVID war policy. They are not going to take over. They're going to go down big and they're going down hard. They have destroyed three years, three years. They destroyed the lives and livelihoods of hundreds of millions of people. So you're looking now at the other reality is that when China had the boom, thanks to the slimeball Bill Clinton, who brought him into the World Trade Organization, he officially came in two weeks after 9-11,

so nobody even knew about that. You look at their GDP from 1970 to 2001 when they come in, and then it shoots up like that. So they had a real boom. And as with all booms, people get greedy and they overbuild and the bust was happening anyway, particularly in the real estate market. Evergrande. So they were due for a bust to come

and now the COVID has made it a hundred times worse because they locked down the damn place for three years. So now their exports are way down and their imports are way down. So your imports are way down. that Europe and other countries are sending in, and your Starbucks and your this and your that, and your luxury goods floating in aren't floating in anymore, that's hurting all the companies that also, this is huge. It's huge, the damage that the Chinese caused. And unfortunately, as an Italian, Italy was the second country to lock down after China.

Yes. And the average age of the deaths in Italy was 81 years old. That's right. That's right. Yeah, we had two weeks worth of that data. And the average had two and a half comorbidities or at or above life expectancy we had two weeks worth of that trump put this thing through as you point out many times there

was nobody dying but getting back to china you know i think one of the the key things was late in it when they went with that real horrible lockdown in shanghai i said you know this is really just about teaching people a lesson in the same way that I think Mao's great leap forward was, right? Let's take everybody out of the city. We're going to teach them a lesson. And, you know, I'm going to show how powerful I am, just like Stalin did with the Halamador and other things like that. These authoritarian dictators will destroy their own country in order to show people how powerful they are. And I think Xi did that with Shanghai in the same way that Mao did it with a great leap forward.

The same way that Stalin did it in Ukraine with the Lama door. I think that is a key part of that. And, and they just kept going. As you point out, you got, uh, in this, um, week's trends journal, you've got spotlight is China's economic struggle. Of course we had ever grand, uhgrande, a big Chinese real estate, commercial real estate company, declare bankruptcy as well, just this last week, right? Yeah. And ready? Over a quarter of China's GDP is from the real estate market.

Oh, wow. Yeah. Wow. So the thing was artificially propped up. And as you mentioned that, we have a spotlight on China's economic. There's one article after another detailing what's going on. Again, we call it as it is. We don't take positions on anything.

We give you the facts, and here's the analysis. This thing is going down big. And just when we were coming on the air, there was an article that just came out about Powell. Where are they? Oh, they're in Jackson Hole. What a hole. They're in a hole, all right. They're going to put us in a hole in the ground, too.

I don't know if it's Jackson's hole or somebody else's. Yeah, Jackson, a whole lot of crap, you know. Anyway, they're talking now about keeping interest rates higher. That's what just came out. So this is very important, very simple. You don't have to be a brilliant economist to figure this out. The markets are going to continue to crash if they raise interest rates. Simple math.

You can now get over 5% on some treasuries and money market funds. Guaranteed. No risk. So why should I gamble in the stock markets or with IPOs, initial public offerings, when I'm guaranteed over 5% on my investment, why should I gamble? The money is going to keep pouring out of the stock markets and going into money market funds and treasuries. And now you're looking at mortgage rates at 7.5%. Yeah. And they're saying they're on their way to eight, right?

Yeah. And so has he said anything today? Because, you know, you had the BRICS that met this week, and there wasn't any BRICS currency that came out. There have been rumors that that would happen, even that it would be tied to gold, but that didn't happen. But I guess they scheduled their Federal Reserve meeting in Jackson Hole to respond to that.

But you've got, in trends general, central banks are fostering an extinction-level event as part of this continually raising rates, right? Yep. And I'm telling you, we are going to go into the worst socioeconomic and geopolitical crisis in world history as i say and when all else fails they take you to war so let's go back to the high interest rates there's over 1.2 trillion dollars in commercial real estate debt coming up soon. A lot of this is floating loans. Your office in Philadelphia, your office occupancy rate, people going back to the offices, is at 40%. It's down 60% from pre-COVID. According to Scope Technologies,

three months ago, 49% of the companies, big corporations, demanded that people come back to work full-time. So you mean 50% are saying you don't have to come back full-time? So now we need less office space because we don't have people coming in all the time. Now, you know what that number is? 40% according to Scoop.

Wow. 40% of the major corporations say you don't have to come in all the time. So now I don't need all this office space. You're going to start seeing defaults on loans that are going to bring down the banking system like we've never seen before. Yeah, I agree. And we've had a re-rating of a lot of the regional banks because you pointed out many times before,

it's not just the fact that the Federal Reserve laid a trap for them by rapidly raising the interest rates and, you know, they had to dump the federal bonds that they had in there. But it's also, you know, the fact that you have this vacancy rate that is hurting the commercial real estate. They can't rent the stuff out and make any money on it. But now their expense of holding that is going up, as you pointed out many times, because a lot of them are in variable rate loans. Yep.

They're floating loans and they're going way up. And this is global, by the way. Over there in the UK, I was thinking, you've got the, by the way. Over there in the UK, I was thinking, you've got the U and the K. I think you're going to need an F and a C thrown in there someplace, too, when you're calling a country what it has become. A place called Canary Wharf? HSBC exited a little while ago.

This commercial real estate bust, it's global. BC exited a little while ago. It, this, this commercial real estate bust is the going it's global. People are not going to be going back to work full time. And you cannot convert these offices that been built in the last 50 years to housing. According to the data, not according to me because they're stupid ugly pieces of crap that they built that are these steel structures with huge floors and glass once upon a time they used to build things with rooms in them and windows and bathrooms

they're not like that anymore it's crap building so they can't convert them oh and then and then look at the implications isn't it great to go take a yeah what was that song um i i left my heart in san what was i, Tony Bennett, who just died, yeah. Yeah, San Francisco, that the geeks turned into a crime syndicate because they were the first to lock down everything. And now, oh, did you see the videos of these gangs going in and stealing all this stuff in Nordstrom? And one company after another closing down in the city?

Oh, it'll come back. Remember they used to say that when they first closed down? It'll come back. The geeks caused this in America. They were the first ones to close down. Wrote about it in the Trends Journal like I Dorsey, the Dorsey guy with Twitter. Supposed to go to South Africa in February of 2020.

Canceled the trip. Told everybody to stay home. After he did it, Facebook, Google, all the tech companies, go home, go home, go home. Our business will boom because people won't be going out and they'll be buying everything online. They were the ones that destroyed this country. When the COVID hit the United States, again, wrote it in detail, it hit Kirkland, Washington.

Kirkland, Washington. What's a Kirkland, Washington? Why should I know about that place? Oh, you mean it hit elder care homes and was killing older people with preexisting comorbidities that were ready to die anyway. Yeah, that's the way they run it.

It's, as you pointed out, when everything fails, they're going to take us to war. And as we've looked at this, and they keep pushing this 2030 agenda, it aligns in terms of timing with the fourth turning. And I've said many times, I fear that we're going to have not just a world war, but we're going to have a civil war and all the rest of the stuff all at the same time. And in pretty much every country, I think. Because people see what is being done to them.

We got people, I talked to the first part of the broadcast, I talked about how Sadiq Khan is putting up cameras everywhere in London. Just covering the place with cameras, and people are cutting them down. You've got one area where they've cut down 90% of them, another area they've taken down 80% of them. But he wants to charge people $15 a day if you move your car, if it is not fully electric,

you get hit with $15. I mean, they really are setting up a civil war. Here, I think in America, a big part of it is going to be back and forth around Trump, regardless of how this election goes. And I don't think he's got the popularity to win a general election. I think he can easily win the primary at this point in time. We'll see what happens. They're six months away before they start.

But in terms of a general election, I don't think that he's going to win that. And when he doesn't win it, they're all going to say, well, it was rigged, it was stolen. It's going to be pushing towards a civil war there as well, I think, don't you? No, you're right. He will get the nomination if he runs.

But again, you have to look at the data. All they do is say if Biden versus Trump, you know, blah, blah, blah, Trump would win or this or that. People don't want either of them. That's right. That's right. The data is there. So, and as far

as Civil War, you're right. Again, one of your top trends for 2020, we do those in december for the year ahead so right before the covid war one of our top trends for 2020 was new world disorder there were protests going on all over the world before COVID hit. In France with the yellow vests. Yeah. In Algeria. In South Africa.

In India. In Peru. In Bolivia. In Chile. All over the world, people were taking to the streets in protest of lack of basic living standards, government corruption, crime, and violence. COVID war happens.

You can't go out in the streets and protest anymore. Get back in your house. That's what stopped. And now it's ramping up again. And you're talking about the Yellow Vest in France. And, of course, that was about these restrictive climate-based restrictions on cars and transportation and things like that. I've said for the longest time, Gerald, I call it a MacGuffin

because Alfred Hitchcock said, well, you know, the MacGuffin is whatever motivates the characters. And so he was pressed for a definition of it. He said, well, the story is a guy gets on the train and the guy says, what's that? And he goes, that's a MacGuffin. What's a MacGuffin? Well, that's for hunting lions on the Scottish Highlands. And he said, there aren't any lions on the Scottish Highlands. He says, well, then that's not a MacGuffin. So if you see through it and you see that there isn't any climate change, if you see that there isn't any pandemic,

it doesn't work. But if they can get everybody going on this thing, they can use one crisis after the other. And that's what they've done. And they always use these crises for the same things, to get control of us, to surveil us, to take things away from us, give them to themselves. It's always the same end thing. But they keep coming up with these different things. And they're going to come back to them, as you point out. They're going to come back with a vengeance as people start to realize,

well, this one didn't work. Well, now we're going to come up with another one or now we may make it actually real or now we may actually give you a civil war out of all this chaos. And you're right. You know, when you look at what is happening in California, it's a lot of the chaos from these Soros district attorneys who want to have this kind of chaos. You know, they're going into a lot of the big stores, and even the big stores can't handle it. When they had that big mob that was going through Nordstrom, they had a mob that hit three taco stands earlier. I mean, that's not a big business. That's a very, very, very small business.

But they can put everybody out of business with just rampant, unpunished crime like that. And that's by design, I think, isn't it? I don't know if it's by design. I think it's by, I mean, this crap's been going on for centuries. Yeah. But I mean, they put in that law that said, if you steal more, less than a thousand dollars, it's a misdemeanor. I know, but I'm just saying saying it's we have maniacs running our lives yeah what's your favorite war the peloponnesian war how about the hundred year war oh the war of roses was just gloriously beautiful i mean this crap has been going on and and now i mean you know i mean think about the civil war you think things are bad now oh Oh, yeah. The Civil War brought to you by a lying piece of crap like Lincoln. Mm-hmm. You read that book by, what's his name, DiLorenzo?

I've read that book, yes. Yeah. Yeah. Excellent. Had nothing to do with slavery. Mm-hmm. I know. Lincoln was pro-slavery.

Yeah. He changed his line. It was unionization. That's all it was about. And it was about the South taking manufacturing away from the North. Yeah. Yeah, it was interesting. I enjoy, used to, when I had more time, I would read alternative history.

And there was a guy named Harry Turtledove. One of his alternative history books, How Few Remain. And it's predicated on the idea that at one point, you know, early in the civil war, Lee hands, um, some battle plans to, uh, uh, uh, a guy or somebody down the line and the guy drops it on the ground and fell into enemy hands. And that turned the tide of that battle and many other things. And so in this particular idea, the idea is the guy says, Oh wait, you dropped the order. Oh, well, I'm sure glad that didn't happen, falling into enemy hands. And so in this particular idea, the idea is the guy says, oh, wait, you dropped the order. Oh, well, I'm sure glad that didn't happen, falling into enemy hands. And so then what they did was he followed in his alternative history all these different characters who did not die in the war.

And so, you know, you've got Stonewall Jackson who survives and Jeb Stewart and all the rest of the stuff. Abraham Lincoln in his alternative history, they lose the war and he is thoroughly discredited. But then he reinvents himself a couple of decades later as a socialist and i thought he got that spot on that's exactly what would have happened you know because and he understood where lincoln was coming from as well so that was really funny yeah again they destroyed the south all the beautiful buildings yeah it kills a hundred but the numbers i numbers i've heard up to 700 000 people died 700 000 people and this is when america is a tiny country yeah when you normalize that out uh you

know in terms of population we're talking about something like you know 25 30 million people today dying with that yeah you know that that kind of civil war and that may be what they wind up doing that may you know they're playing a lot of different angles. Any of these things could explode into a civil war like that, as well as a world war. And think about it. One little freak did it. One little freak did it.

That's right. So I'm saying what's going on now, it's the evilness of individuals. Again, you don't ask a murderer why you murdered somebody. They're out of their mind. They're murderers. You know, people say to me, oh, Salenti, you know, you said we don't like your language.

Oh, I should be like Obama. Gaddafi has to go. We have to bring freedom and democracy there. So we're going to slaughter the God no no we're not going to slaughter them we're going to use other languages we're going to destroy the country we're going to make sure

that it's totally ruined and the same with Assad oh I'm the Nobel piece of crap prize winner I'll get elected president I'll lie my way into office as a peace candidate and soon as i get in they'll give me the nobel piece of crap prize and then i'll have the uh the troop surge in afghanistan but you gotta say it properly because obama folks folks folks folks always folking us folks folks yeah yeah but when you get angry oh we don't like

you when you're angry we like to swallow the crap coming out of the mouth of countless little boys and girls we're americans we have no fight in us matter of fact get your testicles cut off, get your breasts cut off, do whatever you want to do. Yeah, especially the kids. They're the ones we're coming after. Yeah, you know, it was Hillary who said we came, we saw, and he died and that type of thing. Trump had a moment like that with his little sycophant, Tucker Carlson. He was talking about all the people that he successfully, you know, Tucker asked him, well, how do you keep the FBI and the CIA in control? He goes, well, I kept the FBI in

control. I fired him. Tucker doesn't say, well, why didn't you fire Fauci? But he says, and then with the CIA, he goes, we had some really good people in the CIA. And he starts listing all the people that, you know, we killed with us. And so he goes, and so then Tucker says, so the CIA killed those people? And he goes, well, we did. We did. I did. He wants to take credit for it.

I mean, he has no conscience whatsoever about this. I got a comment here. He's a narcissistic clown. I got a comment here on Rumble. Obsolete man, 1776, says Trump wanted it stolen so he could come back as a hero. I agree. And I've got a comment here from Geesebusters.

Thank you very much for that. I appreciate the tip. He says, Gerald, it's good to hate evil. Keep up the good work. The Trends Journal was great this week. I loved it. So he's a subscriber, Gerald. So anyway, when we look at this.

And again, anybody that they subscribe to you, they get a discount, as they know. Yes, yes. I mentioned that before you came on. Code name is, if you use the code Knight, you get a 10% discount there at Trends Journal. And it's only $2.86 a week. It's nothing. Yeah, yeah. This is the cover story this week in the Wall Street Journal.

Look at this. See that big picture? $5 a day for this remember the trends journal is two dollars and 86 cents a week even cheaper when you get it through david knight ready a trap in cable car saved yeah yeah what the hell do i care i'm buying the wall street journal for financial information. What the hell do I care? That eight people trapped in a cable car are saved. What the hell do I care?

How many people died in car accidents yesterday? Yeah, that's right. Well, don't you care about the Wagner guy? Exactly. Don't you care about the Wagner guy and whether or not he was assassinated, whether or not he survived? I mean, that's what most of them are talking about. They're talking about

that in these sham debates. You know, did Bergozin with Wagner, was he shot down by Putin, or did they blow his plane up, or was he on another plane? That's what they focus on. It is a distraction, isn't it? Yep. You know, this just came up.

We were talking about COVID you were talking about COVID and the jabs and everything. This is from your trends journal on August 11th. COVID alert, prostitutes are selling more fear and hysteria. The irony of our times, this was the letter to subscribers, can be truly staggering. If it wasn't so sick, it'd be funny. Last week, the New York Times, which we refer to as the toilet paper record, highlighted the rising COVID cases in New York. They cited epidemiologists who said, you ready? Scor percent of americans and billions of people throughout the world were forced by their politicians to stay inside

where quote respiratory viruses spread more easily adding Adding insult to injury, children couldn't go to parks. No one was allowed to go to the beach, ride a bike, play a sport, go for a walk, et cetera. And then we say, don't hold your breath for accountability. That's right. That's the key thing. All these little clowns, all these arrogant Gavin Newsoms, Andy Cuomo's, Witness Whitmer, DeWine, get in your house.

That little arrogant slob of a jerk, Warren Wilhelm Jr., the mayor of New York. No, your real name, oh, it's de Blasio. I forgot. You changed your name so you get the Italian-American vote. That was that slob's real name who closed down New York City. Get in your house. You can't go to the beach. Wait a minute.

Wait a minute. Wait, what was de Blasio's name? Wait a minute, slob mouth. It says over here, according to the New York Times, who sold the COVID war, that respiratory viruses spread more easily indoors. And you're forcing everybody to go into their houses. Yeah. But nobody talks about what I just said. No one anywhere.

That's right. But nobody talks about what I just said. No one anywhere. No one anywhere has called them out for writing this and lying to us the way they did. They ruined. This COVID war has, in my lifetimes, three things after the Vietnam War destroyed this country. First was brought to you by Fauci with the AIDS scare. Mm-hmm, mm-hmm. Number two, the war on terror. It used to be fun to fly.

Now you get felt up by jerks. Yeah. With the bull crap of, oh, the shoe bomber. Yep, that was the gut out of you with your crap. What are you talking about? Look at, look, look. Yeah, that was a gut out of here with your crap. What are you talking about? Look at, look, look. Oh, we didn't have Homeland Security before. We didn't have them spying us on everywhere.

Look, oh, then, oh, and the Afghan war. I forgot about that. Yeah, the war on terror, the Iraq war. And thirdly, the COVID war. This damage of this COVID war. again, we talked about the rise in crime, which we warned about what happened when people lose everything and have nothing left to lose, they lose it. The kids going out of their mind, not going back to school. The suicide rates, the drug increase, drug addiction increases, fentanyl, boom. Businesses

that have gone out of business the the office building bus that's going to destroy that's going to destroy the banking system yes yes what we're talking about you don't hear in detail of one element after another that's going to bring this thing down again this woman who wrote said i have three kids she said i don't know if you have any you know i never had any and one of the reasons why one time my mother made she rest in peace is chasing me around the house and finally she caught me in italian women they never hit their kids used to bite their hand and in italian she said to me such a million more they said matter fact, it's something like,

without using the proper language, these little SOB, you're better off dead. You should have three worse than you. And I couldn't imagine people like me. So I never had it. I was the youngest of five, born in 1946 in the Bronx, at the height of America, when America was free. We just won the war and you are a person to be free. Not anymore. You're not, you can't be free. You do what I tell you to do. If you don't swallow my crap, it's misinformation. That's right. Yeah. You know,

I played a clip, uh, just yesterday of Fauci and You can still recognize him, but it went back to the 80s. He had dark hair, more hair and everything, but still selling the same lies, Gerald. He was telling people at the time, well, if somebody's got AIDS, you can get it by being close to them. Keep your distance, that type of thing, right?

It's not spread by sexual contact or by needles, he said said it's uh it's by being close to somebody and uh always lying to us about this stuff always and of course the pcr test was a big part of that lie and he was called on it by the guy who'd won a nobel prize for developing it and uh you know they ran this thing out after just a couple of months after carrie mullis who had fought him about the pcr test after he died because we know what carrie mullis would have done to destroy this whole pcr illusion of cases everywhere it truly is amazing yeah you're talking about tsa too

how destroyed this country i i think back to uh the parody movie american carol and uhied, uh, these people going to the airport and have to keep stripping down. Well, I got to take my shoes off because the shoe bomber and this stuff, and they'd not had the underwear bomber yet. And they didn't have the body scans and the pat downs and all the rest of this stuff. But they, and this movie is a joke because they're like the Babylon B right. And they have, everybody has to strip down in order to get on the plane, take off all their clothes. And yet that is really the world in which we now live. You can't,

it's just like Babylon B, you know, as, as much as you try to parody and ridicule the absurdity of this stuff in just a couple of weeks or months, they'll do it for real. It's amazing. I know. And it's right in front of our eyes. Yeah. Yeah. It's right in front of our eyes. Yeah. It's right in front of our eyes. And again, again, as I say, where, where, where are all the peace movements? Nobody talks about peace. Nobody talks about it. We're all, we're, as I said, we're, we're the seventh day Adventists. They waited for the eighth day with all the quakers died in an earthquake. Well, we're all the Catholics. we're all the episcopalians we're all the the the baptists we're all the jews we're all the muslims we're all you religious where where are you where

are the protestants why aren't the protestants protesting right yeah you know Exactly. I was a speaker at the Humanity for Peace rally a couple of weeks ago in the course of the United Nations. Fewer people showed up there than my rallies that we have up here in Kingston. In New York City, Humanity for Peace about Hiroshima and Nagasaki and we have up here in Kingston. In New York City, humanity for peace about Hiroshima and Nagasaki and we have to stop all this. People don't care. Again, like I said, what's your

favorite war? Hey, how about I'm a Yankee Doodle Dandy. A Yankee Doodle Do or Die. How stupid can you be? Yankee Doodle Do or Die? What? For for world war one you had no business getting in brought to you by a murderous freaky creep woodwell wilson who gave us the federal reserve federal income tax the war the irs and you believe this crap yeah yeah as a matter of fact it came out this week they had a state department say, the reason that this counteroffensive has failed

is because the Ukrainians were too casualty-averse. I was like, what? You mean they don't want to go out there and die for you and for your political agenda? They're casualty-averse? And what a riot. I keep reading that American you know, American, you know, American generals and all the intelligence giving them advice. You haven't won a war since World War Two.

You're a bunch of losers. You couldn't win in Afghanistan. You couldn't beat. You couldn't win in Iraq. You lost Vietnam, but you only killed 3.5 million people. And about 60,000 Americans, about 300,000 wounded, and another couple of million with their minds ruined from fighting for nothing and killing innocent people.

And now you're giving advice on how to win? Yeah, it's like a last place team coach telling how to win the world series i agree yeah when you look you talk about losers you know one of the things they've lost track of is the cluster bombs already uh they said we'll keep track of where we put these cluster bombs because you know a large percentage of them or it's actually the older ones that we've sent them are 14 times more likely to turn into landmines with duds. They call them duds. They don't blow up until a kid plays with them or somebody steps on them later. But we've got a restriction that you can't send these things out if they've got a dud rate of more than 1%.

These that we sent them have a dud rate of 14%. And so to mitigate that, they said, well, you're going to keep track of where you're shooting these things, right? So we can go back and pick them up someday.

They're not keeping any, they just admit, oh, we don't know, we're not keeping any, we don't care about any of this stuff, right? I mean, they're poisoning that land.

They're poisoning that land with depleted uranium and with cluster bombs and everything else. They're poisoning the earth. Yeah, exactly. You're worried about climate change?

Yeah, exactly. They've changed about climate change? Yeah, exactly. They've changed the climate in Ukraine. You read from this North Korean defense guy we wrote about in the Trans Journal. He said, it's not a matter of if a nuclear war is going to happen. It's a matter of when. We got maniacs in charge. And just switching into another maniac year, this is what I wanted to read before.

I was looking for it. Stocks fall after Powell says Fed could keep hiking rates. Traders watch the television broadcast. Jerome Powell, chairman of the U.S. Federal Reserve, announcing an increase in the Federal Reserve interest rate on the floor of the New York, blah, blah, blah. The stocks fell Friday the traders digested federal reserve chairman powell's jackson hole's speech so this is power this is the clown boy that said there was no inflation it was only transitory you're full of crap cilenti there's no inflation

your magazine doesn't know what it's talking about inflation's only transitory then it became it's only temporary him and that other fatja brute janet yellen no inflation only temporary and transitory they didn't start raising interest rates until last March, and then they jacked them up too quick. They created this crisis by fighting the COVID war, dumping trillions of dollars of worthless money into the system. You don't have to go to work. Here's money. Hey, play the stock market. Lowering interest rates.

Buy a house. Go on. Everything should have crashed when they launched the COVID war and they artificially propped it up. And now the busters come in big. That's right. And of course that, you know, giving everybody stimulus checks, that was training for universal basic income, giving everybody, you got to get a vaccine and a vaccine passport. That was training for a global ID.

All of this was training and it's not done. And when you look at it and you look at, you know, you got Biden and you got Trump and both of these guys, look at what they did in their first term. And now the likeliness likelihood is that we're going to have one of these two clowns for a second term or people of that ilk. Cause who knows how long Biden's going to make it. I mean, he's just walking dead, you know, in Washington.

They're talking about that arrogant clown, that Gavin Newsom. You can't get more arrogant than that little boy. Hey, my daddy, don't you talk to me like that. Don't you know who my daddy was? My daddy worked for the Giddy Oil Company. He was a law lawyer. Oh, like that other little clown boy, Blinken. The little murderous Blinken boy.

It's our Secretary of State. I went to Dalton. I went to Harvard. Don't you know my daddy was? You're nothing. All of us people are nothing more than plantation workers of slavelandia. You listen to the people on top, like little Andy Cuomo.

My daddy was Mario renaming the Tappan Zee bridge after him. It's only going to cost you $30 million. Yeah. Yeah. That's amazing. I call, uh, uh, Gavin Newsom. I call him grabbing nuisance, uh, because he's grabbing everything in sight.

And he's a, one of the biggest nuisances that we've gotten in as an elected official anywhere in the country. Yeah. He is positioning himself. You know, that's one of the reasons why he's a, one of the biggest nuisances that we've gotten in as an elected official anywhere in the country. Yeah. He is positioning himself. You know, that's one of the reasons why he's got, when he perceived a DeSantis is, uh, you know, a real threat to Trump, you know, he's, uh, you know, going after DeSantis, DeSantis and, uh, but he is, um, he's out there. He's positioning himself.

He's waiting quietly in the wings. He's a very clever, very dangerous. Very dangerous. Yeah. Very dangerous. Yeah. himself he's waiting quietly in the wings he's uh very clever very dangerous very dangerous yeah very dangerous yeah the lying little boy that went to the french laundry when he locked down everybody that one yeah that destroyed california oh you know your office vacancy rate is in San Francisco? What's that? 27%. Vacant. Vacant. Of the top 10 cities, your vacancy rate, 20%. 20%. This office building bust,

it's going to be the crash heard around the world. That's right. Yeah, you can't stay in business if they, if they chop off a 20, 30%. That's what we were talking about with all the small businesses that Trump was locking down Trump and Fauci, you know, or you can open up a, like maybe one day a week or something like that, or cut down your hours or cut down your occupancy. You know, uh, so maybe we'll let you open up for, uh, half of the people, half of your restaurant or something like that. You can't stay in business that way.

And yet the commercial real estate, as you point out, they don't just have that. They're going to have much higher costs because of the variable rate interest. So yeah, it's going to go down. We've now had two of the big three rating agencies have now derated businesses. It truly is amazing. But it's always great to talk to you, Gerald. Thank you so much. And again, folks, TrendsJournal.com
