You're listening to The David Knight Show. As the clock strikes 13, it's Monday, the 2nd of december year of our lord 2024 well today we've got some good news hunter biden is getting pardoned i mean that is good news i'm going to tell you why i think that's good news we're also going to take a look at the hope for peace and i know that zielinski's playing games with nato membership and the rest of this stuff but it is also a hopeful sign that they understand the handwriting is on the wall that this is unwinnable nevertheless they continue to push on and then we're going to take a look at some of the trump appointments we've got an interesting sheriff that he wants to put head of the DEA

and I think he is the absolute perfect pick for that corrupt organization we'll explain when we come back Well, I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. We had a grateful Thanksgiving. We certainly did, even though Karen was very sick. And our daughter was here. She cooked Thanksgiving dinner, did a great job. But Karen is still working the board.

She is still sick. So I appreciate that hard work um but and a great job and we've had a lot of people send emails talking about what a great job karen is doing and she is doing a great job stepping in as uh travis is in texas as a wife gave birth there and a mother son whistler is sick so we really really do appreciate what she's doing. And we're going to talk about Thanksgiving coming up. We're going to take a look at some of the many issues there. We're also going to take a look at how we have new gods that are being sold to us.

Maybe you haven't thought about it that way, and I mean it literally, literally. And it ties in with henry kissinger henry kissinger and comic books uh but uh let's let's begin with uh what was just announced uh late last night at this broke well excuse me yeah that's uh was that Hunter or was that Steve Martin? He's been he's been screaming that at his mom and dad for the last several years. Come on, excuse me. And they finally did. They relented, even though just a couple of days ago it was said well it's not going to happen uh so

biden put out today i signed a pardon for my son hunter from the day i took office i said i would not interfere with the justice department's decision making um january 6th all the rest and this is why well we'll talk about january 6th, all the rest of that. And this is why. Well, we'll talk about January 6th. And I kept my word even as I've watched my son being selectively and unfairly prosecuted. I wonder how many people just decide they're not going to report $10 million in income and get away with it. How many times have you seen celebrities used as poster childs to put fear into the public usually it's released around you know tax day i remember wesley snipe was a pretty obvious case but they always have at least some high profile celebrity that they make an example

out of sub 100 goes the other way so you want to talk about being selective and unfair. It's not in the prosecution. It's in the excuse. Excuse me. That's what's selective and unfair. Without aggravating factors like use in a crime, multiple purchases, or buying a weapon as a straw purchaser, people are almost never brought to trial on felony charges solely for how they filled out a gun form. Biden has, for the last several years, been shutting down entire businesses because of a mistake on a form. Things that would have in the past generated a fine. He takes away their license and shuts their business down. But hey, with Hunter, it's just a simple paper mistake.

No problem at all. Says the guy who has his entire life pushed gun control. He says those who are late paying their taxes because of serious addictions, but pay them back subsequently without interest with interest in penalties are typically given non-criminal resolution. It's clear that Hunter was treated differently. Yeah, well, you know, I'm not aware of, I would imagine pretty much any of these celebrities that have been picked on, they probably all have all kinds of addictions. After you work in Hollywood, you've got to have at least an addiction to alcohol,

if not to sex and hard drugs, right? I would imagine that any of those people could have played that trump card. And I don't think it is a trump card frankly uh no no reference to donald jay um but he says the the clemency was a major about face writes just the news the white house has repeatedly said that biden would not pardon his son. Wait a minute. You mean a politician lied to us? I can't imagine that. He says, for my entire career, says Biden, I followed a simple principle. Just tell American people the truth.

And he goes out lying. He lied about that as well as everything else he's said in his entire career i also believe that raw politics has infected this process and it led to a miscarriage of justice yeah how about those january the six people um all these people you know it's just amazing to see them twisting in the wind. And this is why I said at the top of the program, I think that this is a good thing, quite frankly. I'm willing to see Hunter get off the hook and Biden take another hit to his reputation rather than seeing the January the 6th people there. This bolsters the case for letting them go it should help a wobbly trump to do the right thing finally finally after these people with all of his poor

trump with all of his legal problems and he had to go pay lawyers and everything and made far more money in sympathy donations for his martyrdom than he paid for his lawyers. And yet, these other people have been rotting in jail, literally rotting in jail, tortured, many of them, many of them permanently injured. One guy lost his eye from the kind of criminal beatings. When you look at the January the Sixers, I got to say that they got the wrong people on the wrong side of the bars.

A lot of their jailers should be in behind bars. They should be released. Just confirming that under Democrat governance, there is truly a dual system of justice, tweeted Senator Ron Johnson of Wisconsin. One that protects Democrats and another that is weaponized against their political opponents and the poor people who were sucked into this because they followed Trump. Hunter's lawyer has now moved to dismiss the indictment after pardon, and of course um he's been found guilty on some of

these charges others he's been indicted for some he's confessed guilt he's going to get off on all these but see this is important because people need to understand when i've talked about the january the six people and how they were abandoned by donald trump you don't have to be convicted to be pardoned. You don't have to be indicted to be pardoned. And I've talked about this many times, you know, the very insurrection act that they came after these people with. That was put there for Confederate soldiers after the war. You had people who were vindictive, who wanted revenge, even after they won. Andrew Johnson said no, and he issued a blanket pardon before any of them were charged or indicted. And we had the same thing happen more recently with Gerald Ford, who pardoned Nixon.

And I've talked about this many times and yet when you look at the response of a lot of people they say look at this you know he gave hunter biden a pardon for 10 years and we'll talk about why that is significant why did he take it back to 2014 and that interesting but um and it is interesting but uh gerald ford gave richard nixon a pardon for everything that he had done uh when president and that was over a five-year period so you know you don't have to be indicted you don't have to be convicted in order to be pardoned and, if he'd had any loyalty to the people that he demands loyalty from, would have pardoned them. But he didn't do it because he was afraid that if he did that, they'd come after him. Well, guess what? They came after him anyway. You try to appease people.

Well, usually they come after you. Wait a minute. I used your pronouns. Why are you still mad at me? The pardon comes ahead of Hunter's December 12th sentencing for his conviction on federal gun charges, as well as an upcoming December 16th sentencing on a separate criminal case, in which he pleaded guilty on federal tax evasion charges. Hey, you know, it's no big deal. Come on, folks. This is a deal. It's no big deal.

The pardon, which is full and unconditional and it covers offenses which he has committed or may have committed or maybe even taken part in according to the language of the thing so it's whatever he's been committed of or may have uh may have uh committed, may have committed, or taken part in. We don't know. Just anything and everything. It's unconditional. Over a nearly 11-year period from January 1, 2014 through December 1, 2024. Well, he better watch his step now. Because this is December 2 second and the clock starts uh and we're gonna talk about some of the

personnel coming up in trump's administration uh but look um this language uh by the way donald trump this is a language you should use to pardon should have used and should use as soon as you become president again this is the language that trump should have used and should use as soon as you become president again this is the language that trump should have used for the january the sixers a full and unconditional pardon for any offenses that they may have committed or may have taken part in that's what should have been done um anything that he they have committed anything that they may have committed anything that they took part in you know because they went there to support you trump maybe you should use this as a template because look if he can pardon hunter you can pardon the J6ers. Same way. Biden's pardon for his son.

Every possible crime that he's committed over a 10-year span. All right, it's one person again. Ford did it over a five-year period. And he did it before Nixon was even indicted. Biden said, in trying to break Hunter hunter they tried to break me enough is enough oh so biden is a victim as well hunter and biden are victims you know in november we had a white house press secretary kareem jean pierre reiterated that joe's position had not changed. We've been asked that question multiple times, and our answer stands is still no, she said, in terms of, is he going to pardon Hunter?

And then last Monday, just a week ago, asked on a week ago, if Biden was still committed to not pardoning Hunter, White House spokesperson Andrew Bates said the president has already spoken to this many times. Joe Biden, Jill, also said, Joe and I both respect the judicial system, and that's the bottom line. They lie always, and they go out lying uh now this was interesting from zero hedge i said do you know why biden picked 2014 as the first year of hunter's pardon well that's when he was appointed director of ukraine's barisma starting a subsequent subsequent sequence of events that almost ended in World War III.

Well, we're still waiting to find out how it's going to end in Ukraine. And so we go full circle. Yeah, you start out with this corrupt deal that is there. All the Burisma stuff, by the way, starts about the same time that the CIA is doing a coup in Ukraine. And of course, all these people like Vindman from Ukraine, but also Alexandria Chalupa, people connected with the DNC that I talked about a great deal when we were covering Russia. Gosh, about eight years ago, I guess, or whatever. I mean, all these connections in Ukraine with the DNC.

It's not just with Biden. This is broad across Hillary, of course, as well. But all these connections into the DNC itself. Hillary, the DNC, Biden, Obama, all these connections into the dnc itself hillary the dnc biden obama all these people and this is when they're doing the uh the coup there in 2014 he gets hunter into barisma at that time so again um calls to impeach him well no uh calls for trump to do the same for the january the sixers yes we should have that you know democrats can't even complain about that now you know trump um i hope trump has uh the backbone to do this because quite frankly frankly there's nothing but upside for him to do that.

To pardon the January, the Sixers, uh, Trump had promised January six pardons, but Politico says his post election silence is making his loyalists very nervous about this. Well, take heart. Okay. This should help a great deal. They're left to speculate about his clemency plans. And of course, this was written before Biden pardoned Hunter. John Laro, one of Trump's personal lawyers, said in a recent interview with an advocate

for the January 6th defendants that he had been close to Pam Bondi for 35 years, but he had not discussed her views on the January the 6th riot. Well, guess what? Biden didn't ask his attorney general. He did it himself. And Trump didn't need the permission of the attorney general to issue any of the pardons that he issued as president.

This is not really relevant, but this is an excuse from one of Trump's personal lawyers. Well, we just have to see what the lawyer says. Then after that, maybe we'll have to ask the Supreme Court or whatever, okay? He says, I know that she'll take this issue very seriously, knowing her like I do. She will ensure that every person in the criminal justice system has been dealt with fairly and justly. Seriously? This would not even have been a question with Matt Gaetz,

and perhaps that's one of the reasons why they stopped him. There's a lot of different reasons that they stopped him. They didn't have anything to do with his personal life. I mean, that's just icing on the cake. But, cake but i mean of course they've all got a personal life i guess you get into that position unless you got something blackmailable in your past or something but no it's it's uh his conflict with people that he's had there and he took a principled stand on some things and he was very adamant about pardons not just for the january the six people but also had been for julian assange for ed snowden for many other people ross albrecht uh so again this wouldn't even be a question with gates but

with pam bondy oh we've got a hanging judge there oh she's real big on law enforcement, right? And the drug war. At times during the 2024 campaign, writes Politico, Trump suggested that he would pardon virtually all January the 6th defendants, including those who assaulted police. But at other times, he said he might not pardon those who, quote, got out of control. Well, Trump reportedly considered a blanket pardon for those who stormed the Capitol

in the final two weeks of his first term, but he ultimately opted against it. He got cold feet. You see, he didn't stand between them and you. He puts you between them and him. That's the truth of this stuff, folks. That's the truth that MAGA cannot, will not see. That this is about Trump. He demands 100% loyalty from everyone.

And he returns none of it back to any of them. A federal judge that Trump appointed during his first term recently criticized the notion that Trump might reconsider such broad pardons in the future. Why not? Again, now look at Hunter, right? I mean, first of all, it's only the right thing to do. We all know that this was political persecution. While Biden is saying, my son Hunter's been politically

persecuted. No, these are the people who have been politically persecuted. Hunter hasn't been in prison. Poor thing. These people have been in prison, abused, tortured in prison. Many of them given such excessive punishment. How could any judge look at this situation? And again, this is a federal judge that was appointed by Trump. How could anybody look at this and say this isn't a violation of the Eighth Amendment? Excessive punishment for this stuff. How could they look at this and say this isn't political persecution of somebody who exercised their First Amendment rights to redress their grievances, to protest? How could anybody look at that and sign on to that?

But of course, a lot of people that Trump has appointed do. Marjorie Taylor Greene, Andy Biggs have both issued new calls this week for Trump to issue blanket pardons. I think that, and this is why I said, I think it's a good thing. I think with this, he ought to issue I think it's a good thing I think with this you ought to issue blanket pardons even to the people who got violent because there's a lot of questions about who instigated the violence and at what point are we supposed to just if the police come in clubbing people and I'm

not saying that's what happened but it certainly looks like that in some of these videos it's hard to tell at this point i warned people i said stay away from this thing but uh at what point when the police are beating us are we allowed to resist that's the question right that's the question when we talk about wars as well at what point is resistance uh justified you could make that point with this for these January 6th people. And probably with few exceptions. I don't know that they instigated anything. Matt Gaetz, again, had been among the most vocal figures in Washington, calling for pardons of all the J6 defendants. And so a lot of people looked at that and said, okay, well, that maybe signals his

intention to pardon them. But Trump hasn't really said anything. Former Cowboys for Trump head, Coy Griffin, one of the first January 6th defendants to go to trial, emphasized that Trump is responsible for the huge crowd assembling in Washington that day. That man even told him, go over to the Capitol. I'll meet you over there. He told them to come on January 6th. And I was fired because I said, don't go. I said, it's nothing but a grift.

I said, if you ever thought that there was anything that's going to be accomplished by going there on January 6th, that's ended as of Monday, December the 14th. I was fired three days later for that very reason. Alex said, it's because I don't have any money to pay David. But that was the reason, okay, because I said that what he was doing was a grift. I said he was going to entrap people. And I continued to say it with the broadcast up till that morning of January the 6th. That was what I said on the broadcast. Do not go.

There's going to be agent provocateurs. This is a trap. You know my best impersonation of Admiralateurs. This is a trap. You know, my best impersonation of Admiral Akbar. That's a trap. The only reason, says Cowboys for Trump head Coy Griffin, the only reason that myself and a million others like me were in D.C. on January the 6th is because Trump called us there. As the sitting president, Trump specifically told us that china had stolen the election

they got a lot of different excuses you know trump was lying about it alex jones was lying about it uh and again the stop the steal stuff trump's save america he raised over 250 million dollars on save America after the election Alex Alex got a lot of money and a lot of views off of that stuff uh this whole stuff about Sandy Hook and nobody died um that was not you have a right to be wrong about something. And Alex has said that he was wrong about that. So he's been on both sides of this issue, like he usually is on both sides of an issue. And he's got a lot of people who think, still think that nobody died at Sandy Hook, who are angry with him, but they will continue to listen to him and follow him. But the reality is that the real betrayal, the real problem that I see with Alex was over this.

And before that, defending Trump for the fake pandemic, Operation Warp Speed and the rest of this stuff. Remember, he told people that it was not the bad Gates vaccine, that it was basically sugar water with, you know, a little bit of mercury and, you know, other things like that. They'd been telling people, rightfully so, for a long time, that those adjuvants to irritate you would give you autism or other things like that. Guillain-Barre autism, the kids. But he says, hey, it'll probably have that stuff in it,

and that's just fine. You can take that for Trump. Really? After 20 years of telling people about additives in the vaccines, and the fact that we already knew at that point, there wasn't going to be anything at all like that. It wasn't going to be some dead and weakened virus like he was telling people. It's going to be a genetic code injection that the lies and the deception that happened in 2020 from march culminating up through january the 6th the next year are just stunning the stunning betrayal of trump and alex and others like them it's important for con men to tell you the truth at some point so they can gain your confidence while they take you to the cleaners. And that was when they took everybody to the cleaners, stealing from their supporters.

Now we sit on the edge of our seats in suspense, says Coy Griffin, former Cowboys for Trump head. We sit on the edge of our seats in suspense as we pray to be relieved and rectified. And he called the riot the greatest entrapment in American history. I called it that before it happened. And look at all the people that are involved in it. all the people that are still worshipped and all this stuff. You got Trump. You got Alex Jones.

You got Roger Stone. You got Steve Pachinik. You got Ali Alexander. Boy, that was a tell, wasn't it? The Steve Pachinik thing and Ali Alexander, a guy, a convicted con man. And this is the guy that Alex and Roger bring in to run Stop the Steal. Nothing to see here. I mean, you don't have to be a genius.

You just have to not excuse whatever you see with your own eyes because of loyalty, misplaced loyalty to some newscaster or to some politician. Yeah. Remember when Trump pardoned Jared Kushner's Jewish mafia family? And I mean mafia. White-collar criminals and the Mossad agents and all the rest of this stuff. Remember when all that happened? And he left the J6ers to hang. Remember that? I do. Along with Ross Ulbrich, he abandoned the j6ers along with ed

snowden he abandoned them many many others ross all brick and now he's saying he's going to pardon well the time is long past for that but you know these people that uh trump this jewish mafia these white collar criminals some of the biggest white collar criminals ever one of them jared kushner's dad charles kushner and he is kind of interesting as he's been appointed now a new ambassador to france this is a guy who was convicted of some really heinous crimes. Chris Christie was a prosecutor. And Chris Christie criticized this. That is one of the most heinous crimes that he had seen, not only in terms of the magnitude of the destruction that it did to people's lives, you know, because white collar crime

destroys people's lives. Some people, when they lose everything, commit suicide. You drive somebody to suicide? Now, that person loves money too much, depends on money too much. But still, it's a horrific crime. But it was more than that for Jared Kushner's father, Charles, who has now been not only pardoned by Trump as Trump left political prisoners.

That's what we're talking about here. We talk about Julian Assange, Ed Snowden, the January 6th people, Russell Brinkman. These are people who are political prisoners, persecuted. They never hurt anybody. The state didn't like them. And they were railroaded in their trials if they got them. Of course, Assange didn't get to trial, but he was imprisoned anyway. And so the issue here is political prisoners, not people who stole, not people who harmed other people, but political prisoners.

And they clearly should have been pardoned. Instead, he pardoned. Instead, he pardoned a real criminal. He pardoned real spies for Israel. And he let these people twist in the wind. He left his own supporters to twist in the wind. And now this guy, Charles Kushner, has been appointed ambassador to France. Not just pardoned, but appointed ambassador to France. Not just pardoned, but appointed ambassador to France.

Trump described Charles Kushner as a highly successful business leader, philanthropist, dealmaker, with deep experience in the real estate business. Well, let me tell you what his experience is in. He also said that, along with his son, Jared, he worked closely on Operation Warp Speed. He deserves to be behind bars for that. The criminal justice reform, the Abraham Accords. Again, he was pardoned in 2020 after a 2005 conviction on federal charges. Chris Christie, who led the case as the U.S. attorney for New Jersey,

said in 2019 that Kushner committed, quote, one of the most loathsome, disgusting crimes he had ever prosecuted. What was it? I mean, you know, lying to people about financial investments and stealing the money and bankrupting them. I mean, that know, lying to people about financial investments and stealing the money and bankrupting them. I mean, that happens all the time. But why would he say loathsome and disgusting? Well, as part of the plot, as they had a hidden camera roll. Because his sister was going to be testifying against him. So he decided that he would set this up to blackmail his sister and brother-in-law.

So he lures his brother-in-law, gets somebody to lure his brother-in-law into a hotel room, videotapes him having sex, you know, Jeffrey Epstein style. Maybe that's why Trump doesn't have a problem with this. Because he hung around with Jeffrey Epstein, who was doing exactly this type of thing for the Mossad for decades. While Trump was his best friend. So he lures him in there, gets a videotape of it. Tape of the encounter was then sent to Kushner's sister. Who was, of course, this guy's wife.

But that only made her angry and she exposed that crime that's why chris christie says one of the most loathsome disgusting crimes i have ever prosecuted it was the charge was witness tampering witness tampering but i've probably never seen anybody tamper with witnesses like that i mean it was when you just call it witness tampering you know that can be that has in the past been things like somebody uh posting up that they came after um new jersey weed man because he posted something on social media that somebody might have seen about his case and about the law and so forth. And so it can be something as meek as that. It doesn't necessarily mean that you hire a prostitute to seduce your brother-in-law and film it and then try to blackmail your sister who's going to testify against you.

He pleaded guilty in 2005 to 16 counts of tax evasion one count of retaliating against a federal witness that's that and another count of lying to the federal election commission he was sentenced to two years in prison he had served his time and like um like john kiryaku the cia whistleblower who exposed the torture behind the lies that got us into the iraq war what kushner was looking for was just to have his record cleaned and john kiryaku went to rudy giuliani who uh to Rudy Giuliani, who was there with two other guys. And he says, well, I want to talk to you about the party. Oh, I've got to go to the restroom. So as he leaves, he gets up and goes.

And John Kiriakou has told this story many times, probably three times on my show, at least. When Rudy Giuliani goes to the restroom, these other two guys say, well, that'll be a million dollars to get your pardon. That's the way Rudy Giuliani works. Of course, now, if John Kiriakou had a million dollars, which he didn't, and if he wanted to give him a million dollars so that he could get his federal pension

of about $700,000, none of that money would belong to Rudy right now. He has been hammered, and I think unjustly so. But in Rudy's case, when we're talking about RICO statutes, Rudy rode the RICO statutes to make himself a celebrated prosecutor. The RICO statutes are crimes, government crimes, to get around the protections of due process and the Constitution. I have no sympathy for Rudy Giuliani because he used the RICO statutes for his political

success, and now the RICO statutes have been used against him. Boom. 9-11 Rudy, who cleaned up all the evidence, just like Gina Haspel cleaned up all the evidence of the torture, right? And these people are pals of Trump. These people, like Gina Haspel, appointed to the head of the cia and so you got rudy out there talking about you know they're they're taking everything from him because of this rico conviction um what goes around comes around doesn't it

it's absolutely just in his particular case the only time i would support any of the rico statutes being applied is in the case of rudy giuliani he deserves it good and hard and so does joe biden who was instrumental in creating these rico statutes uh remember they um this how this whole thing evolved from RICO statutes to civil asset forfeiture, where now cops can just pull you over and say, well, I suspect we've got a drug crime here. I'm not accusing you of anything. I don't have any evidence that would even rise to the level of an indictment, but I am accusing your car or your house or your plane or that stash of cash that I got there. I think that's been involved in drugs. Here, dog, smell that cash.

Yeah, of course it's got cocaine on it. They all do. And they keep it. And the case says U.S. government versus $9,000 U.S. dollars. Or the U.S. government versus Learjet, serial number, blah, blah, blah. It's not even about you. It's about your property. Your property committed a crime.

And your property, of course, has no rights under the Bill of Rights. So we can do whatever we want to your property. That kind of thing grew out of the RICO statutes. Anyway, after Trump pardoned Charles Kushner, Charles Kushner held a fundraiser to support Nikki Haley. Trump can't even take care of himself. He's not going to take care of you, MAGA. He's an idiot.

These people are just cutting deals. A bunch of puppets and criminals and gangsters and mafia. The lowest moment of Trump's presidency was when he pardoned a bunch of chabadnik super criminals while simultaneously condemning his own supporters to rot in prison for January the 6th. That is Chris Minaham at Information Liberation. Well put, quite frankly. But I would disagree. I don't think the lowest moment

of Trump's presidency was that. The pardons and the abandonment. The lowest point of his presidency and the lowest point of America, in my opinion, is what happened with Warp Speed. What happened with a fake pandemic. What happened with a medical martial law.

That is a legacy. That is a Trump precedent, I should say, a presidential precedent that he set. That is the low point. Well, as this is being reported by the Trump press, Fox News, World Net Daily takes the Fox News report. Two paragraphs. Trump appointed him. I am pleased to nominate Charles Kushner, blah, blah, blah. They just put out the press release.

The headline says strong advocate, quote unquote. That's what Charles Kushner is, according to the MAGA press. He's just a strong advocate who lured his brother-in-law into a hotel room and tried to blackmail his sister. That's he's just a strong advocate. You know, he's now going to be ambassador to France. French people better watch their back. Again, Chris Christie, and all they say in, in this thing, um, the only negative they have in 2020 Kushner was pardoned by Trump's 15 years after being found guilty

of falsifying tax returns, witness tampering and illegal campaign contributions. Well, that's not a big deal, right? That's the way MAGA puts it out. Chris Christie, the assorted details of this whole case. Well, as they also point out on Barron's, they said the first two men to fill this prestigious Paris post as ambassador to France were Benjamin Franklin and then Thomas Jefferson. How we have fallen from them to Charles Kushner.

How did we get here? Okay, this is, you want a timeline for the decline of America? Yeah. But again, why would Trump even think this is wrong? As Jeffrey Epstein's friend for over a decade. Who knows? Maybe, you know, since Epstein introduced Melania to Trump, she was one of Jeffrey Epstein's girls.

Maybe she was involved on the other side of this, like the prostitute that lures people in. Who knows? Just an idea. Trump's commerce pick, Howard Lutnick, hawked some buzzy investments that went bust. Now, this is an article by the Wall Street Journal. And what they're talking about are these SPACs, S-P-A-C. That is how Trump put together his truth social, with a SPAC. And it is one of the things that Howard Lutnick is famous for.

Cantor Fitzgerald is his company. He's made a fortune doing really dodgy things and creating new financial instruments. This is what these criminals in Wall Street do. You know, they create these derivatives that destroyed the real estate market. 2007, 2008. And Trump likes these kind of guys because he's one of them. He elevates these guys, these thieves, these con men. Because, hey, he made a billion dollars doing this stuff or more. So he's really good at it.

And that's all that matters to Trump. There is no morality, no ethics there. This guy succeeded. Okay, good. Let's get him in. Is he a billionaire? Even better. Cantor Fitzgerald CEO Howard Lutnick was pitching a startup that said it made a key component of self-driving cars and that this company would soon be valued at $2 billion.

I'm brilliantly successful, said Howard Lutnickick because I select brilliantly. He said that in a 2021 video, which hasn't aged too well, quite frankly, except for Trump. He picked how he could get in there with Trump. He has pushed crypto and other techno schemes along with these invented financial lies. That's what these instruments are. It's just a bunch of tricks and lies. So he creates these things, uses these things called SPACs. Lutnik was behind a blank check company or a SPAC that planned to merge with a company called AI.

And they have it A-E-Y-E, AI, like that, right? As in seeing. To take it public, such deals boomed during the pandemic, fueled by hedge funds like his and day traders. AI, E-Y-E. shares are now nearly worthless. Yet Lutnik is Donald Trump's pick for commerce secretary. Why commerce secretary? Seems to be where Trump puts these financial crooks.

You know, somebody like Wilbur Ross, who worked for the Rothschilds. Who, back in, what was that, 90s i guess when trump was circling the drain with his casinos the guy can't even run casinos and he's supposed to fix our country anyway he was circling the drain and wolver ross shows up as an agent for the rothschilds and he sees how all the press around donald trump and how he's handling them he gets on the phone with him he says this guy can work the crowds we can use him and that's how he's being used he is a celebrity entertainer that's being used by the big money and the big politicians and the big government the global government government, all of this stuff, to control people.

That's how they continue to do it. So in his first term, he puts Wilbur Ross in as Commerce Secretary. Now he's got Howard Luton again as Commerce Secretary. So why do they want this position? Well, the Wall Street Journal says Commerce Secretary makes you a key international dealmaker. Hmm. Okay, could do some things on the side with that, right? Like Wilbur Ross. Hey, you know, he could do some stuff with Trump,

and I could do some stuff with a Commerce Secretary appointment, too. Makes you a key international dealmaker. You oversee trade policy for a president-elect who made widespread tariffs a central part of his campaign. Howard Lutnick became a billionaire by pitching everything from new bond trading technology to cryptocurrencies, like the stable coins, like Tether. Lutnick made special purpose acquisition companies, that's what the SPAC represents, a big focus in recent years. The deals made money for Cantor, but worked out badly for ordinary investors.

And that's a sign of what these Wall Street crooks always do. They always come up with something and they make a fortune and they bankrupt other people. You know, kind of like Charles Kushner, like these other Jewish mafia figures that Trump let go. They become billionaires by stealing from people. Oh, but they're so clever. And they're so smart. And they're so rich. We should honor them.

Right? In 2020, Cantor helped set up a SPAC endorsed by basketball legend Shaquille O'Neal. It merged with fitness firm Beachbody the following year. Shares were down about 99% since its debut at roughly 10 cents when adjusted for a reverse stock split. Lutnik and other proponents touted SPACs as a way for regular people to invest in companies such as sports betting firm DraftKings or space tourism firm Virgin Galactic. SPACs are really private equity for the public market. No. That's what Lutnik says.

But it's just another con man take. That's all it is. And we've had Trump's save america pack we had alex jones's stop the steel thing we had steve bannon build the wall he was convicted for that no trump pardoned him though so that's the kind of guy trump's looking for somebody like charles kushner somebody like steve bannon who rips off conservative supporters. Yeah. Lutnik spent the past two plus decades rebuilding Cantor after all of its employees inside his New York headquarters were killed on September 11th, except for him.

Lucky Lutnik. He just didn't show up for work that day you know kind of like larry silverstein yeah i guess i'm just lucky says uh silverstein and lutnik was real lucky as well they didn't know anything in advance did they nah no he was taking his son to his first day at kindergarten his nanny was busy that day so was his wife and nurse and he took him that day lucky looting another trump pal at the center of 9-11 like rudy giuliani but trump don't worry trump's going to release the secret files that these people have kept that are going to incriminate them all right these people so fiendishly clever so devoid

of any conscience and morality and yet they're going to leave these papers there for decades to tell you who really killed jfk and what really happened on 9 11. and you think that's going to be released the smoking gun you think the the smoking gun folks was incinerated a long time ago uh they they burned all of those smoking guns that's why they're smoking he owns the majority of privately held caster canter fitzgerald which controls three companies two of which are publicly traded the two publicly traded ones alone are worth $2 billion. Those companies paid Lutnik $37 million in compensation last year, which is more than Jamie Demon earns at J.P. Morgan, is president of J.P. Morgan. Biggest bank in the world. Highly compensated individual. A third company is private.

And that third private company is the one that's the top advisor to the SPACs. That's where I guess the real money is. SPACs raise money from professional investors and wealthy individuals. And then once they start trading publicly, anybody can buy shares before or after the merger. And this is how these guys always win. They make sure that they're going to get a deep, deep discount. The SPAC creators get ultra-cheap shares that protect them from losing money,

even if the stocks crater. So, you know, he gets this stuff at 80% to 90% discount for what he sells it to the retail people. So even if it takes a dive, he doesn't lose money. And, of course, he can unload those shares. Another one of his, the best investment that he's done is Rumble. Rumble is down 25% since his debut because they pump it up a lot of uh that's one of the things the other things they do with the spac stuff just like truth social they hype it up everybody jumps in they make their money off of it and then it goes down but

you know rumble is down by 25 percent um four other spac companies that he's done are down by over 80%. So it's worse than normal, which is saying a lot for SPACs because normal is so darn bad, said a law professor at New York University. He's talking about Howard Lutnick's track record. SPAC deals between 2019 and 2021 have seen their shares fall on average 55%. Nevertheless, the insiders still make money. It reminds me of the Hollywood financiers. I remember there was a, let's see, what was it now? They created a Disney, wanted to do not just G-rated films.

They wanted to do some other stuff. Ruthless People was one of them, okay? And they created, it's like a sub-label that they were going to put these films out. Do you remember what it was, Karen? But I can't remember. But anyway, what they would do is they sold this to people. Hey, you know, you can be a movie producer yourself.

We'll sell you shares in these movies that, uh, this Disney organization is going to create. And guess what? No matter how successful the movie was, and they had a lot of very, very, very successful films, the investors always lost money because these guys were always, well, yeah, let's write that off and charge the thing. They came up, they're very inventive in terms of coming up with all kinds of ways

to pay themselves. And so these silver screen partners was what the investment was called. Now I'm starting to come back. And they did it more than once. And so these silver screen partners was what the investment was called. Now I'm starting to come back. And they did it more than once. And back in the day when I was in video store stuff, I used to read Variety. It was a real scandal. And they kept doing it.

This is the same type of thing, right? Lutnik personally pitched investors on AI. In a separate 2021 investor presentation, Lutnik said the company would use a superior technology and connections to reach $617 million in sales within five years. The first nine months of this year, the company had $156,000 in sales. That's not even a good mom and pop business you know you got any employees you can't survive on 156 000 a year it's just amazing yeah it's gonna have 617 million in revenue shares are down more than 99 percent lutik got about 6.2 million shares. He got it at an average price of $1.25, a deep discount from the $10 that many other investors, including General Motors, paid. General Motors does not have the best management anymore.

You say that about all the car companies. Stellantis just had the CEO resign. He should have been jailed for what he's done to that company. Jeeps are in such demand, and yet the Jeep dealers are going out of business because Stellantis, it's a French company, I think, that Obama gave Chrysler to. They decided that the only way that they're going to sell jeeps is if they have loaded them up with every luxury bell and whistle that they can think of and so these things have gotten so ridiculously expensive that they've moved out of their core market their core market is not about that it's about people who want to get something that's cheap and rugged they turn it into like a luxury car brand brand and now it's going bankrupt.

Anyway, Lutnik paid about $170 million for shares in the nine Cantor SPACs and companies that they took public. The value of those stakes was recently close to $200 million. See, he's still making money even though some of them lose 99% of their value, some of them lose 80% of their value. You know, the star of all of his things is Rumble, which has only lost 25% of its value. Another Cantor smack merged with Vue, a maker of smart windows. Oh, this is great. Smart windows to control heat and glare. How dumb do you have to be to not realize that there's a wealth of window films out

that you can put on your car or your house windows that are going to reduce infrared 99%, glare 99 plus percent. That's just, and so you're going to sell a smart window? You're going to use computers to do that kind of stuff or something? He pitched it. He said, nobody likes blinds. Well, he loves blind investors who can't see the end of their nose all they see are dollar signs that he's put into their head in august lutnik and canter agreed to pay 12 million dollars to settle a lawsuit from individual investors who said they were misled

about this firm's growth prospects. I don't know. You know, you look at it and he should not be taking advantage of them. But how dumb do you have to? This is a case of crooked and dumber. You know, how dumb do you have to be? Finally, I'll wrap this up. It's not just his son-in-law's dad through Ivanka that Trump is helping. The nepotism extends to the father-in-law of Tiffany as well. Now, Trump taps a second in-law for a key government position.

On Sunday, the president-elect announced plans to appoint Mossad Boulos, the father of Tiffany Trump's husband, to serve as a senior advisor on Arab affairs. This is starting to look a lot like the first term, isn't it? Nepotism, stupidity, really dangerous people being put in places with this stuff, and a lot of incompetence. This guy is a billionaire attorney, but he's also an in-law.

And he's Lebanese, so Trump is going to make him senior advisor to Arab and Middle Eastern affairs. Well, there you go. We're going to take a quick break and we'll come back. I see we've got several people that have left comments and tips. So and I just will say that in general, because Karen is feeling kind of under the weather. If you want to make sure that she sees the comment, you know, put something there, say to Karen or to David or whatever. Instead.

So she understands that it's not just a reply to somebody else that people are talking amongst themselves. If you want to get through to us, we're going to take a quick break and we'll be right back. Thank you. You're listening to the david knight show uh dga thank you very much for the tips as david trump's cabinet arresting preachers bragging about facebook censorship gun grabbers mask pushers mrna jab pushers track and tracing brain chipping technocrats as he continues to push his shot. That's exactly where we are headed next. We're going to talk about Chad, the sheriff.

And there's some people who want to hang Chad. Hanging Chad's of Florida. I'm Marty. Good to see you there, Marty. Thank you. Thank you for the tip. That is really kind. He says, get the needle moving.

Remember, DK Brooks, no canned laugh tracks. Off-camera chuckles are live and spontaneous from Karen. So now we should get her a job. She could be that voice in the I love Lucy thing. They always had that one woman who would just, that solo laugh, the cackle that was out there. But not that you're cackling. That's not. But yeah, that could get things going.

That worked, always worked for the canned laugh track of Lucy. One lady starts to laugh and then they all start to laugh because they push that second button there. Spumford, Hunter is going to celebrate with a nice big fat bag of crack. That's right. You would think that trump might appoint him as maybe a special emissary to the to columbia or the some drug cartel right i mean he he takes uh this guy who is lebanese is um in law who's lebanese and he makes him uh ambassador to arabs

and so on like hunter an ambassador to the drug cartels is something he knows about trafficking uh drugs all the rest of stuff even guns illegal guns he knows all about that so he's a perfect guy for the job perfect guy uh iq micro dot there's a lol joe pardons hunter because that's what he wants for himself after committing treason using our highest offices. That's right. He may be feathering the nest for himself as well. But I look at it from the positive perspective that I think this is going to should be able to help January 6th and people who want to advocate for them need to latch onto this to this and say you know if Hunter can get pardoned these guys can get pardoned even if they punched a cop in the face um they should not be going to

jail for 20 years okay or 30 years and uh and you know uh Joe Biggs what is he in for 17 years or something and Biden's Department of Justice was not happy with that. They wanted to relitigate that and go back. I think they originally wanted him like 34 years or something. I think it was 17 years. It's just so, whatever it is, it's so over the top. Joe Biggs never got violent with anybody. They featured him in the congressional hearings, and they would show, here's a picture of Joe Biggs, and he's just kind of walking through there and it's like if joe had punched anybody you better believe they

would have featured that if they had any footage of that and they've got footage of everything there was cameras everywhere so much footage that they haven't been able to go through all of it presumably they tell us um marky mark new jersey thank you he says in case you forgot it was pam bondy as florida attorney general who went after george zimmerman i did forget about that thank you for reminding me wow even after local police declined to press charges citing self-defense pam bondy got involved and went after george z. Wow. She does come across, and all the people talking about her, she comes across as an over-the-top prosecutor, if ever there was one. And a real match for Tom Homan that he's put in to border issues. And I think that in particular is really going to be a blowback issue

if he lets Tom Homan loose. Look, there's a lot of things that could be done. Tom Homan is talking about how, yeah, we're going to go to war with local officials who want to make themselves sanctuary cities. This is going to, what I'm concerned about with that is that I think that you can legitimately have a sanctuary city for the Second Amendment. Because the Second Amendment is the Constitution. And so if you have a sanctuary city where they say we're going to shut down our sanctuary state, we're going to shut down any gun control legislation coming out of Washington. Well, they're the ones obeying the Constitution, not Washington. And so they have the moral and the legal high ground when they make themselves a sanctuary city for Second Amendment. But when you talk about a sanctuary city for illegal immigration, that power belongs to the federal government to do that. And so they are in conflict with the Constitution as a sanctuary city. The problem is it's going to be used as a precedent to say that Washington cannot be contradicted, which is wrong.

We need to have nullification, but it has to be nullification for things for which there is a legal basis, for which there is a legal basis, for which there is a constitutional basis. You should have had local officials nullify Roe v. Wade. Could have saved 63 million babies' lives. Or whatever the number is. I think it's 63 million. You should have had nullification of uh trump lockdown and masks and social distancing and all the rest of that stuff could have been nullified by the states even though the governors

were being bribed by trump should have been nullified at a local level even though the local people were being bribed by trump uh you know all of that should have been stopped and we could go on and on uh Nullification is a very important thing. And I think what's going to happen in this conflict, though, they're going to use that to attack the idea of nullification. Now, one of the things that Homan has said he's going to do is to, or people in the Trump administration, is they were going to have a direct fight with the drug cartels. And that was a Tom Clancy novel I read about 40 years ago. What was it, Clear and Present Danger? Was that the one where they go after the drug cartels or whatever?

So you've got some undercover spies that go in, and they scope out the drug cartels headquarters, and they call in a missile strike and all the rest of this kind of stuff um the problem with that is going is that if you leave the drug prohibition in if you take down these drug cartels you're just going to have somebody else take their place i i don't have a problem with them going in and taking down these drug cartels, quite frankly. And I think that's necessary at this point. Because if you were to destroy their business model by legalizing drugs, and of course, this is something that everybody was talking about with marijuana. When they legalized marijuana, what did these drug cartels do for profit?

Well, they turned to other things. They turned more towards human trafficking and prostitution and things like that. And so these criminal entities that have been created by prohibition, just like Al Capone was created by prohibition, these criminal entities are going to just, if you take away the drug thing, if you were to take away prohibition, which nobody is talking about doing, right? But if you were to look at the failed war on drugs that has failed now for 53 years, a UN agenda to begin with, it wasn't created by Richard Nixon. He was the one who signed it in the US, but it was a UN agenda. The UN even came up with a forced schedules for

the drugs. This was always coming from the UN. It was always part of a global conspiracy to destroy society because you cannot stop drug addiction using law enforcement. It is a spiritual issue. You can try medical issues and things like that. It's ultimately a spiritual issue. But it certainly isn't law enforcement. But if they were to what I would, you know, fantasizing if I was president, what I would do is I would destroy the drug cartels militarily. And then I would destroy drug prohibition. I'd end the drug war, you know, make it a real war for a second. Get rid of as much of these drug cartels as possible.

Because you know that with their money and their power and their ruthlessness they're just going to get into another business and that would set it back for a while you're never going to nothing is ever going to be 100 so these you know you would have some survivors who would regroup and build and start to build this thing up from the bottom but they would be deprived from a major um profit center of illegal drugs. But none of that is going to happen. And when you look at Tom Homan's deportation nightmare that he wants to unleash on people, that's going to blow back if they actually do that, and rightfully so.

As Eric Peters said in a headline, he had it all in one headline. He said, don't deport, defund. We have to just stop, as I've said for the longest time, we've got to stop paying people to come here and live on welfare. If somebody wants to come and work, fine. Let's have a legal guest workers program. They don't get welfare. They don't get to vote.

They don't get to do a lot of these other things that are reserved for citizens. As it is right now, illegal citizens, it's not Mexico, it's not even all Central and South America. It's from all over the world, people are coming. And they are given welfare benefits that exceed that of American citizens. So stop that. It's real simple. Stop it.

And a lot of people will self-deport. And, you know, if you have, you know, have immigration, but make it legal. Have guest workers, but make it legal. And take action against the people who employ them if these are not legal workers and things like that. That would be one approach that you could take. Nothing is perfect. But this whole idea of setting up uh concentration camps and you got some official in texas does this press conference i saw over the holidays

where she puts on her cowboy hat you know she's all rhinestone cowgirl and she wants to talk about how she we're ready we got lots of land land in Texas. We can set up all these. You start putting those things up. That's going to really be bad. And it's going to, you know, people are going to see that for what it is. And it is going to be bad. There are smarter ways to do this. You can get people to go back if you don't give them welfare and make sure that you control this thing legally there's a lot of things that you can do that is just a stupid in your face ham-fisted approach

like biden would typically do with things like the biden mandates uh so let's talk a little bit about this uh well we've got some more comments here um marky mark it says uh pardon me but doesn't civil asset forfeiture flout the fourth amendment yeah there's no due process at all yeah i seem to remember it's saying something about unreasonable searches and seizures yes i'm certain that i read that somewhere before yeah it's all of that stuff you know there's no search or seizure there's no due process there's no search warrants or any of that kind of stuff and there's no due process there's no search warrants or any of that kind of stuff and there's no protection eighth amendment of excessive fines either you know

we've had situations where they claim well we found a marijuana joint here i think that belongs to your son on the front porch right front porch of your house i think that belongs to your son so we're going to confiscate your house. And they take the home from the parents. I mean, that's a real case. Stuff like that happens all the time. And Max, we must demand term limits to get these worms out of Congress before they completely sell us out. They've completely sold us out. It's too late.

They have completely sold us out. Jason Barker, those SPACs. Good to see you, Jason. Happy Thanksgiving to you. Those SPACs. Good to see you, Jason. Happy Thanksgiving to you. Those SPACs are dodgy. I tried to invest in a VTOL company and Ameritrade would not allow me to. I guess you need a special account to invest in them. Yeah, it's some of these things, depending on what stage you get into the SPAC, you have

to give them like a net worth statement or something and be vetted. They look at it and they say, okay, well, if this guy's got a lot of money, maybe he knows what he's doing, you know, so you have to have a certain net worth to get involved in some of these things, but they're all scams. They're all scams. By the way, that reminds me, Jason and was on last week with Guard and Guard did an excellent job. I should have mentioned this at the top of the show. I really do appreciate Guard giving us a couple of days off last week. I'm always happy to turn it over to Guard because I always know that he does an excellent job researching. He had on Jason.

He had on Angry Tiger. They did some excellent work last week, so I really did appreciate that. So two days we had Guard do it, And then on Thanksgiving and on Black Friday, we put up some rebroadcasts. So really do appreciate that time off. NMAC says, if your loyalties are to America and not Israel, you're not welcome in the Trump administration. Certainly is looking like that, doesn't it? Let's talk about the sheriff. and before we get to sheriff chad look at this story of this sheriff this is in cobb county georgia and you know i've said you need to pay attention to local elections because as we all saw during the lockdowns bad local officials can make things worse

than they would otherwise be and so they can make things better you they would otherwise be. And so they can make things better. You know, you can have a good sheriff who stands in the gap and he stands by the Constitution and he stops this kind of stuff. And I've talked about this in the past. When you had a really bad state governor, Pritzker, in Illinois, he was saying, well, we're going to have the state patrol go out and issue summonses and arrest people if they're holding church and that kind of stuff. And I talked to a guy who never shut down, and he had the local sheriff and his deputies were there guarding his church in this small town. And that's the good side of it.

Or you can have a sheriff like this. Sheriff Craig Owens in Cobb County, Georgia. Managed to embroil himself in a drama so absurd that it feels scripted. Writes, reclaim the net. Picture it. A sheriff, a whopper, and a county Facebook page locked in a battle royal over free speech and mayonnaise. It all began at Burger King in 2023. Sheriff Owens, dressed not in the authority-granting uniform of his office but in civilian clothes,

I guess he's just upset because he had to pay for the hamburger, was on a mission of matrimonial devotion his wife a staunch mayo hater had ordered a whopper without the offending condiment the king of burgers however had other plans when the mayonnaise laden monstrosity arrived owens let's call him a man of action decided the situation required more than a manager's apology so what do you do when the fast food chain of command lets you down? Well, if you were Sheriff Owens of Cobb County, you summon your deputies.

Yes, lights flashing, deputies on the scene, all for the egregious crime of a sandwich that was made wrong. Imagine the ego of this guy calling his deputies in on some kind of a raid because he's not happy about his hamburger imagine the power mad ego of this guy in the age of smartphones everywhere the incident was catapulted into the digital stratosphere. The timing could not have been worse for Owens.

It was October, right before the Cobb County Sheriff elections that year in 2023. But by the time the election day rolled around, voters were only debating policies. They were replaying a viral video of Owens turning a drive-through dispute into a campaign talking point. Nevertheless, he won with 56% of the votes. Because, you know, people don't typically pay attention to local politics, I guess. And so, after that happened, now this guy who was already on a power mad ego trip, now he doubles down. And so he started censoring people on his Facebook page, the local paper. People started putting comments up there and then they started disappearing critical voices questioning his conduct began

vanishing from the Cobb County Sheriff's Office Facebook page according to the lawsuit this wasn't about keeping things civil it was an all-out assault on dissent and first amendment protected speech the complaint accuses Owens of crossing constitutional line. Instead of facing criticism with a Facebook login and thick skin, he allegedly decided to utilize the powers of his office to censor the speech of plaintiffs based on viewpoints, says this lawsuit. The lawsuit is demanding a jury trial, an injunction against censorship, and a symbolic $3.50 in damages, a nod to what the Whopper meal cost him. Co-planteas aren't just arguing about Facebook policies. They're staging a showdown over free speech and governmental overreach. Because this is the sheriff's office official page, this is not the sheriff's personal page,

it should be different under law now you there are certain things that you've already had the supreme court i think rule that trump could i talked about this i said look at this i had the supreme court rule that trump can't block trolls on the presidential account or personal account or whatever but then shortly after that twitter kicked trump off so i said look at that we got the social media madman's have now given themselves more power than the president of the united states they can say you can't cut these other people off but we can cut you off and so i guess because it's an official account but the other part of it is the aspect of the argument can an official facebook page be treated like a personal diary or do we have a virtual town square is that what

this is and really that is what social media should be as a a matter of fact, the mystery was solved as to why Elon Musk had his lawyers show up at the InfoWars bankruptcy thing. It was not because he's interested in purchasing InfoWars. It's because his lawyers are making the case that they own all of the Twitter accounts. See, the bankruptcy court was trying to say that Alex Jones' Twitter account could be an asset that was auctioned off. And the ex-lawyers are showing up and saying,

no, we own everything on Twitter. As a matter of fact, there was somebody that had something like Save America or something like that, that Elon Musk took that away from them and took that over for his political action committee, his PAC. And so he has a history of doing that. He wants to assert that, yes, he does, in fact, own everything on Twitter, twitter including your personal accounts that's what that's about no it is a virtual town square it is a digital town square and that's what jack dorsey said more than eight times under oath and that's what it really is you know once you get to a certain size, these things become digital town squares. And in the UK, they have a law that if you have a trademark name, a good example is Hoover, right? Hoover was so successful in selling vacuum cleaners in the UK that people began to use the term Hoover as a verb in order to vacuum,

or as just a generic reference to the device, just like you might talk about a Kleenex, which Karen needs right now. So if you have something like Kleenex or hoover they say no you cannot you've lost your trademark because it's entered into such common usage uh but um the uh the point is is that um these town squares should not be treated as the personal fiefdom of elon musk or anyone else for that matter they should not the corporation should not be able to shut that down and of course as i've mentioned many many times the 1946 case of marsh versus alabama it was a company owned coal town and you had a guy or a woman i forget who it was but i think it was a woman

who was passing out religious tracts this is 1946 and they told her she couldn't do it she said well this is the town square she took it to the supreme court and supreme court said even if the town square is privately owned you can't take away people's free speech in the private square and the public square and so that's what these people are saying, because this is an official account. They're suing him on that. But the key thing about this is just the arrogance of this guy. And he doubles down, gets even more defiant. And when we look at other abuses in law enforcement, as we're thinking ahead of the

Pam Bondi as attorney general, again, going after George Zimmerman, a Massachusetts man was wrongfully convicted of murder and has now been awarded $13 million. This broke over the weekend. And I thought this was an amazing case. Show a picture of him, Karen. He's there with his pigeons. Reminds me of the Birdman of Alcatraz. He can't relate to people anymore.

He's been in prison in a tough time he had in prison. He was innocent of this murder. He was actually apparently framed by the murderers who did a plea bargain. And we have a great justice system. Don't you just love our government system of justice, quote unquote. For nearly three decades, he was behind bars. His mother, his four siblings died. His girlfriend moved on with her life and he was badly beaten in several prison attacks, all for a murder that he long insisted he never committed. Earlier this month,

64-year-old Sullivan got a degree of justice when a Massachusetts jury ruled that he long insisted he never committed. Earlier this month, 64-year-old Sullivan got a degree of justice when a Massachusetts jury ruled that he was innocent of the 1986 murder and the robbery of Wilfred McGrath. He was awarded $13 million, although the state regulations are going to cap the rewards at $1 million for wrongful conviction. That's the headline. He was awarded $13 million, butful conviction. That's the headline. You know, he was awarded $13 million, but he won't get all of it.

He'll only get a million. And of course, the federal government will take half of that, probably. They found that a state police chemist falsely testified at the trial. Now, listen to this. This is a story from the AP, the Associated Press. They say a former state police chemist falsely testified at the trial, though his testimony isn't what guaranteed Sullivan's conviction. It absolutely is. And the rest of the story, as the AP reports the facts of what happened, the rest of the story shows that this is lie.

Why would they do that? I have called the Associated Press associated propaganda, associated with the government. The AP always lies for the government, even in a local situation like this. They will take the side of the government. And they will lie to your face thinking that you can't tell the difference about it. And that's what the Associated Press is doing right here. This prosecutor is not only the lies from the chemist, the police chemist, but that was used by the prosecutor. That was their key talking point.

This particular lie. Authorities zeroed in on Sullivan after they learned that his sister had been out with the murdered man named McGrath. The night before the murder and the two had gone to the apartment she shared with Sullivan. Another suspect in the murder, Gary Grace, implicated Sullivan and had his murder charges dropped. Grace testified at the trial that Sullivan was wearing a purple jacket the night of the murder, and a former state police chemist testified that he found blood on the jacket and hair consistent with McGrath's, not Sullivan's. Sullivan was found guilty and sentenced to life in prison. Grace, however, pleaded guilty to an accessory after murder

and was sentenced to six years. Another guy, third guy, Emil Petrola, who beat McGrath and helped to dispose of his body, pleaded to second-degree murder. These people are likely the murderers because they knew all about it. They admitted they'd beaten him. They'd disposed of the body and so forth. But they said he was the one that was the main culprit.

So they used the plea bargaining thing to get themselves off by pointing to an innocent man framed him for the crime i couldn't believe i was convicted of murder said sullivan recalling prosecutors mentioning the purple jacket five times and their closing argument five times and yet what was it the dp said though the testimony isn't what guaranteed his conviction. No, no. He said, my mother was crying in the courtroom. My brother was crying. I was crying.

It was very hard for me and my family. Prison would prove to be a nightmare for him. He had his nose almost bitten off in one attack. He nearly lost an ear in another. Was he incarcerated with mike tyson um because he was a lifer the prison system did not allow him to take any classes either to gain skills or to just have any kind of intellectual escape he said it's very hard on a person especially when you know you're innocent you know like the j6ers that Trump has abandoned.

And prison is a bad life, you know. Prison is a tough life. And it's not just other prisoners who will attack you. It's the guards in Washington, D.C. In 2011, his fortunes changed dramatically. His attorney requested DNA testing, which had not been available for the first trial. Guess what the DNA testing found? It didn't find that there was a mismatch on the blood. The DNA testing found there was no blood at all on the jacket.

And that was pretty significant. Dana Kurhan, a Boston attorney who represented Sullivan from 1992 to 2014, and pushed for the DNA testing, said Sullivan had always told him that McGrath's blood wasn't on the jacket. But he was surprised to learn that there wasn't any blood at all, which undermined the prosecutor's argument that Sullivan had beaten McGrath into a bloody pulp. So he was beaten into a bloody pulp. You got this other guy, Emil, who says, yeah, I beat him, you know, and I helped to dispose of the body and so forth. But the guy was beaten into a bloody pulp and beaten to death.

But there was no blood on Sullivan's jacket, none at all. And yet the police chemist testified that not only was it blood, but it was the same type of blood. And the prosecutor referred to that five times. But the associated propaganda, the AP, says it wasn't relevant. Mark the news outlets that lie to you, especially the ones that put themselves out as being on your side, or that put themselves out, as the AP does, as the arbiter of truth, as an objective reporter. This is their own article that contradicts what they had to say.

At the prosecutor's closing, he essentially said, hey, if he wasn't the one who did it, then why did they find blood on both of the cuffs of his jacket? And he kept repeating that. But he said, we don't have any blood on his jacket at all. And of course, there's no DNA match because there's no blood to match. You would expect someone doing what he was alleged to have done. You would expect them to be covered in blood. But there was no blood. That really was the case.

And yet the AP says that's not significant. He said, when I walked out of the front door, I was in an emotional state. He admits that he shut down after being released. And to this day, he struggles to function in a world that changed dramatically while he was in prison. Before he was arrested, he had worked at a peanut factory. Oh, no, we're back to peanut again. Making squirrels. And had planned to go to school to become a truck driver and eventually work for

his brother who owned a trucking company. Instead, he left prison with no job prospects, little hope of finding work. He still can't use a computer. He mostly helps his sister with odd jobs. His girlfriend, whom he had known since he was 12, would visit him for a decade in prison, but eventually, he said, she had to go on with her life. I'm still really not adjusted to the outside world, he said, adding he spends much of his time with his Yorkshire Terrier buddy and pigeons that he keeps at his sister's house, like we saw before. Presumably not stool pigeons. It's hard for me, he said, I go nowhere. I'm scared all the time. I'm pretty much a loner. You know, we've seen this over and over again. People who have been in prison for a very long

time, they just can't handle it being outside. It's amazing what that does to people, what it does to their mind, their emotions, their spirit. And we've seen that story over again. But as I looked at this and he talked about how he couldn't use a computer, it made me think, how many of us have become prisoners to some degree because of our computers? How many of us have isolated ourselves from society

where we can no longer cope because we are so in touch with our computers it is a a very pernicious subtle imprisonment and of course it was made very real during the lockdowns of covid by trump and it was very deliberate by the global agenda to get people to to accelerate this already this this trend that is already there, where we look at our phones when we're with family or friends rather than engage with them. Or we would rather spend time online rather than engaging in physical meetings with people. He's not the only one who's been damaged.

He's been gone for 40 years, and he may not realize it, but there's a lot of other people who are in the same situation, imprisoned by the black mirror. You know, as I get on with Clyde Lewis, and I said, wow, he has this commercial they had somebody do. Like, the first thing you look at in the morning and the last thing you look at night, that black mirror that's there.

What kind of a prison have we made for ourselves? And of course, isolating people like that was conditioning and moving the Overton window toward a real prison, a 15-minute city. It's amazing how they are moving people that way. Well, let's talk about this Sheriff Chad. Trump nominated Chad Chronister to lead the DEA. He's the Florida sheriff that arrested Pastor Rodney Howard Brown in 2020

for keeping his church open. And he has now made, you know, it's now forgiven. And here, let me pull up this. Here's Rodney. There he is. I'll get a bigger picture of it. That's Pastor Rodney Howard Brown in the center.

I think it's his wife there. And then that's the sheriff there. Well, look, I understand that a Christian is going to forgive somebody for doing the wrong thing. The question is, has the sheriff really repented? And the question is, should he be promoted for this kind of stuff? That's the real issue. You know, when somebody commits a crime, many times we have people who will, you know, had mass murders, and son of Sam, Berkovich or something like that. Anyway, he's not ever going to get out of prison, and he's a lifetime in prison. He's become a Christian.

He's very sorry for it, but you're not going to let this guy out, right? And you had Ted Bundy, who was executed because of the state where he committed his serial killers. He also claimed that he was sorry, had a repentance and had a conversion to being a Christian. God can sort that out.

But there's penalties with this. And of course, we even see this in God's treatment, for example, of King David, who committed adultery and then committed murder to cover up the adultery. Now, God forgave him of his sins, and we can hope that these two mass murders have been forgiven as well. But God still had a lifetime penalty for King David. He still had, and his sword never departed from his family.

And so he was always, you know, political intrigue and war within his family. People jostling for the throne. So there are consequences to our sins, even though God can forgive us. But there's no consequences for this guy, this Sheriff Chad. as uh sheriff chad and as a matter of fact uh he put up um a poster bragging about what he was doing announcing the arrest of dr ronald howard brown pastor of the river at tampa bay church who initially i'm sorry intentionally and repeatedly disregarded state and local public health orders which put his congregation and our community in danger.

That's this guy that Trump has just appointed. Because you see, folks, this was never about the bad Democrat governors, as the MAGA excuse makers have always been saying. Trump was on board with this. Trump paid people to do this kind of stuff. He's now promoting people who did this kind of stuff. Trump owns this fully. Owns it fully.

He's bragged about his vaccine. He's promoted the lockdown tyrants like this guy. He has the audacity to push that. Should he be promoted? Should he even be sheriff anymore? Again, this is one of these deals. Just like, so I started with this thing about this sheriff who calls all of his deputies to harass the people at Burger King

because he got mayonnaise on his hamburger that he didn't want on there. And yet the people still reelected him. Maybe the people still reelected this guy. And Trump is promoting him. So he was one of the worst of these lockdown tyrants. As a matter of fact, I've never seen this before. This is now circulating around on social media the fact that sheriff chad sheriff chad what's his i just call him chad chronister chad chronister was lecturing people

about social distancing in their boats i'm hillsborough county sheriff chad chronister while we want everyone to limit their public movement during the COVID-19 health crisis, outdoor recreation is still possible, even on our beautiful waterways. If you decide to go boating, remember you must also remain socially distanced from other boaters. Make sure that you keep 50 feet between you and other vessels on the water. Also, be sure that you are following the CDC's guidelines for social distancing. If you have any questions or concerns while on the water, our Marine Unit deputies will be there to assist you.

For a list of both... Our Marine Unit deputies. Visit hillsboroughcounty.org. They're going to be there to assist you. Hi, I'm from the government. I'm here to help you. I got a fine, prison, whatever, you know. You didn't stay 50 feet

apart from other people. Where does he come up with this? He's just making it up, of course, just like they made up the six foot rule. That's why I said on Twitter, he's the perfect man for the DEA. He really is. Because he's already demonstrated his zero respect for the Constitution, his zero respect for the Bill of Rights, his zero respect for the rule of law. And he has shown that he is no matter how stupid these orders he is or how illegal they are, he will enforce them. That's how mind numbingly stupid he is. So social distancing with the boats. Keep them 50 feet apart.

And then he also talked about the vaccine. Big pusher of the vaccine. And we all know how proud Trump is of his vaccine. In the Bay Area, we've lost law enforcement members because of COVID. Something that Sheriff Chronister is very aware of. I put out a policy a few weeks ago that if you're unvaccinated and you have to quarantine or you get ill, you have to use your own approvals. If you're vaccinated and for some reason you fall ill, the sheriff's office is going to cover your time off. This has to be for our 4000 employees to keep them healthy.

But absolutely the public. We have daily interactions with the community that we serve. Just stay home. Just stay home. We don't want to be the ones getting you sick. I'd like to see the sheriff's deputies work from home. They can harass their family or something, right? We've got daily interactions with people. We've got to pull them over because of a minor traffic violation or something.

Well, with all this stuff and with the arresting of the pastor there, Thomas Massey said, I'm going to call him like I see him. Trump's nominee for head of the DEA should be disqualified for ordering the arrest of a pastor who defied the lockdowns. And yeah, the lockdowns. And somebody crossed out the covid lockdowns because folks it was a lie it was a lie from trump and he pushed it now this is somebody who is um uh spencer rogers put this up he says i'm from tampa bay and i followed chad chronister's career and people are asking me why he is a bad pick to be head of the DEA he said conservatives here do not support Chronister Chronister is a woke and weak democrat plant and will backstab

president Trump he cannot be trusted and here are some of the reasons his office promotes Transgendering Teens by Participating in the Tampa Pride Event. And creating a liaison office for transgenders and other pride affiliates. Here he is talking about that. In the month of June, we celebrate Pride Month. Hello, I'm Sheriff Chad Chronister, and this month we're celebrating equality, dignity, and self-affirmation no matter how we identify. At the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office, we are proud to focus on the wonderful members of our law enforcement family that bring their many talents, skills, and varying viewpoints that help us serve, protect, and understand everyone who lives in Tampa Bay. We welcome diverse backgrounds,

respect all people. Oh, there he is handing out rainbow colored necklaces. And there's a sheriff deputy. Which everyone a wonderful month of pride celebrations. Okay. So he's going to lock down churches and pastors and threaten people with that. But he wants you to show up for those pride parades. But why is it, you know, conservatives don't like that. The question is, why is it that conservatives have a problem when Chad Chronister does that, but they don't have a problem when Donald Trump does that?

Because Donald Trump has elevated that over and over again, and so has Melania. She's been given awards. They've had events at Mar-a-Lago. Why is it that the conservatives have a problem when anybody else goes to Davos, but not when Trump does? Why is it that they have a problem when somebody else promotes LGBT Pride Month, but not when Donald Trump does or Melania? You see, this is a situational ethics. And I talked about this when we talked about Israel. I said, look, if you're going to make an exception because you like the politician, you look at it and you say, well, you have so many people who say, oh, this Ukraine war, that's really bad. Look at all the people that are dying. But Israel, that's fine.

That's okay when Israel does it. Or look at anything. That they excuse everything if it's done by Trump, if it's done by Netanyahu. If you do that, you're talking about situational ethics. Because you're making the person or the party, your principles don't apply to them. Which means you don't have principles. If your principles only apply to certain people, they're not principles. There's something else.

He says Chronister expanded his office's DEI program and has been a major proponent of anti-white male discrimination by removing merit as a primary role of advancement, turning to race and gender-based hiring and promotion policies. So we can expect to see that. We can see DEI at the DEA. How about that? Maybe we can make them doubly ineffective. Not only are they out on a fool's errand to try to stop people from using drugs by

using military force, but I'm going to add the DEI stuff to it as well. Not only that, but his son was found guilty and sent to jail for stabbing somebody in the face, and yet he is a big gun control advocate as well. When he arrested Pastor Howard Rodney Brown, he turned him over to be prosecuted by a Soros-appointed prosecutor. You see, I'm from Tampa, and I know that it's gone even further to the left than it did in terms of state and in terms of city government when I was there. And now the people that are there, the mayor is an open lesbian, socialist, communist. I mean, it's pretty bad. And so many others.

And he's a part of that crowd. Why would Trump pick him? Well, because Trump is a New York Democrat himself. In March of 2020, Chad arrested a local pastor who kept his church out. By the way, yeah, this is another point. Howard Rodney Brown spent $100,000 in improvements so that they could work around this fake pandemic and stay open.

He spent $100,000 to upgrade his church's air infiltration system. He made his church safe for those who wished to attend services. Nevertheless, Chronister arrested him and held a press conference touting the arrest, threatening other people. L.S. Chronister arrested him and held a press conference touting the arrest, threatening other people. You better not think that your religious values trump my orders, okay? He's a big Democrat donor. He gave money to Democrats.

He gave money to Barack Obama. He gave money to Mayor Jane Castor. She's the one I was talking about. To Congressional woman Kathy Castor, same family. He supported Charlie Crist and he gave money to the DNC as well. Hmm. So why is Trump, again,

Trump is a New York Democrat himself. Chronister is weak in crime. He released a criminal with 35 priors who then went out shortly after his release and murdered somebody. He was weak during the BLM riots. Remember, those happened in the summer. So just a couple of months after he arrested the pastor

and threatens other pastors, he does nothing with BLM riots. Riots. Riots. It's all about public safety, is it? Yeah, what about when they light buildings on fire? That's not a problem. He had his deputies stand down as rioters destroyed property, including a gate at the county jail. His office was generally slow to respond during the blm riots when other sheriff's offices around the state were out in full force yeah that's the kind of guy that trump wants to run the dea many people are calling him the covidian sheriff conservatives some are slamming trump's dea pick but they won't criticize trump have pick, but they won't criticize Trump.

Have you noticed that? They won't criticize him. But like I said, he's perfect for the DEA. No respect for the rule of law, the Constitution, and he's willing to do whatever he's told, no matter how mind-numbingly stupid the order is, or criminal. Now, Tim Poole said he should serve prison time wait a minute tim wasn't it you and laura loomer who were just saying i'm so tired of hearing people talk about trump's vaccine that was so four years ago let's talk about the election four years ago

right laura loomer say well if you took the vaccine that's on you i didn't take it i knew better than to listen to trump she didn't say better than to listen to Trump. But that's what's implied. And so he says, Tim Pool now says, let's revisit this after he serves prison time for conspiracy against rights for arresting a pastor during COVID lockdown. Tim, your man that you have built your career on is the one who paid people like him to do that kind of stuff. Wow. Wow. Yeah. Trump. Oh, this is not about Trump. No, this this is who Trump is.

Get used to it. You're listening to The David Knight Show. Leatherneck, not Fonda Jane. A Marine who doesn't like Jane Fonda? No, really? I'd be surprised to find any Marine that liked Jane Fonda. I was a deputy in L.A. County in the 80s and 90s. You must have known Daryl Gates, the guy who started all the SWAT-themed stuff and no-knock raids. Most cops will lie on reports and outright lie on the witness stand.

A judge even visited our station and said he knows most cops lie in court. It's such a bad, you know, these systems. And yet, you know, everybody is so excited about Kash Patel. And, you know, he's going to fix everything. You know, he's going to have full disclosure. And we're going to get everything solved. You know, just like they gave us full disclosure on the JFK assassination and 9-11 and all the rest of this. Well, Cash Patel is going to get full disclosure, and somebody put this meme up.

The Lord of the Rings. You got the ring there, and somebody puts in it, FBI. And then, quick, cast it into the fire. Then Cash says, no, we can reform it. That's what it's going to be. It's going to be cash Boromir. That's, yeah, always going to get that. No, I can use that.

I really can. Do not obey. So, as people don't know what to do with themselves when they're alone, mostly overcome by insecurity. That's right. And my point is, is that we're being made alone more and more by design. That's the way this system is being designed. And that's a big part, I believe, of what this lockdown was really about. It was about moving the Overton window towards a real prison environment straight out of Patrick McGowan's prisoner.

The village. That's what these 15-minute cities are. Cameras everywhere in the village. And you will not get out of the village that's what these 15 minute cities are cameras everywhere in the village and you will not get out of the village you can get the little electric scooters and you can ride around all this other kind of stuff right but you're not going to get out of the village one mind covenant says dad say david say sadly the spirit of lunacy is ubiquitous people who can't think critically just read and hear these news outlets and believe everything they say. That's right.

And yet, you know, it is interesting. I was just talking about this last night with Whistler. And he mentioned a quote that I had not heard before. See if I can remember it. He said, the propaganda is not about trying to convince you. It's about making you feel isolated. That's what we were just talking about, right? I guess I'm the only one who sees what's happening here.

I really felt like that, especially at Infowars. It's like, am I the only person who sees what's going on here? To see that nobody wants to push back on this stuff? Instead, they're going to fall in line because of Trump? I was really, really upset. I remember Father's Day, June. I wrote a song about it, you know, and it just grieved me so much to see this. I couldn't believe that people would go along with it in the first place for two weeks to flatten the curve. And I couldn't believe that

most of the Christians would go along with it because most of Christians are following these big dog Christians who've got the podcasts and the titles of the, you know, they've got a high position and a denomination or some kind of a public Christian publication or they got a radio show or something. People just follow them. And they don't question what they have to say. And these are people, many of them, like Al Mohler, who he has a podcast on current events and news. Well, either he knows nothing about current events and news, or he was lying to people. It's just that simple. That's the only two alternatives.

Neither of them look too good. Now, if you're going to put out a podcast about news and current events, you better start doing some research instead of just reproducing the government press releases, which is what Al Mohler did verbatim. Disgusted me. Still disgusted. Thomas Falco, thank you for the tip. He says, says David how can we ever believe the science when the doctors can't even define what a man and a woman are God bless you and your family thank you very much yeah they can't isolate the virus either

they don't know what is a virus can you show me a virus have you isolated it no we got this code that we came up with it's a genetic sequence and we're going to give that to people to test with a PCR test magnifying it by 1.1 trillion times dougal like thank you very much for the tip he says thank you david and family everybody remember to hit the like button thank you for me and help spread the word thank you so much and i do want to thank everybody i didn't mention this either at the top of the broadcast. We did make goal in November.

We really do appreciate your support with that. And I've got several. As a matter of fact, while I'm doing this now, let me read some of the people who made that possible. And who really blessed me and my family. This is on zell william p marco v carl h lois i kenneth c donald h and i think that's the first time we've gotten a contribution from donald h so i appreciate that and that was a nice William W., Kimberly M., Jeffrey C., Ronald H., almost done here, Scott L., Kevin H., Austin M. Thank you very much. And I see these same names over and over again.

Matthew S., another one. Michael L., almost all of these people, except for the one person. These are all regular contributors on Zelle. Gregory I., Ramon G., William Daniel W., Joseph R., Rogelio J., and Mitchell M. Thank you so much. And a shorter list, but let me mention them while I have them here as well. This is a cash app. Timothy D., Valeria S., David F., Amy B., Dave B., Michael B., David F. again. Thank you so much,

all of you. That is what makes this show possible. And we could not do it without your support. Absolutely couldn't. I'd have to find some way to support the family. And so that is what supports us. And we could not do it without your help. And we, again, we made goal last month, which is really good. We've most of the months this year, we've not made goal, but we did last month, which is really good. Most of the months this year, we've not made goal, but we did last month. And so I want to thank everyone. Stealth Patriot, thank you as well. Said, if men were angels, we wouldn't need government. The problem is that we leave the government to control itself. Federalist 51 loosely quoted, yeah. We have the same problem. Men are not angels. That's right. That's right. DG8, thank you.

He says, David, bringing this sheriff in is unbelievable. Why not bring Fauci back, Trump? Well, maybe he will. Maybe that'll be the second. I really think that, you know, Trump, especially with his first picks and everything, I thought, well, he's going to come in really strong for conservatives, get them behind him, and then watch out for the end of his term because that's what he did the first time it wasn't the first in this first term that he had big victories uh but um uh he really went off the

rails in the second in the last year of his term and usually what we see is politicians uh presidents especially in their second term usually get really bad but i expected that trump would do a lot of things that his uh his supporters would like and the first thing you know if he can get peace and things like that we're going to talk about that right now but who knows what he's going to do? He says, uh, why not bring Fauci back? Uh, he says this cult will make excuses. Bongino is blocking anyone questioning Trump's picks. This cult refuses to call him out.

That's right. Yeah. Bongino is one of the worst ones out there. I mentioned Bannon and Alex all the time, but Bongino is really, really bad. Uh, I don't know. Maybe, uh, make make him ahead of the secret service we can get him off the air national security talking about war national security advisor jake sullivan says biden told

him to oversee a massive surge of weapons deliveries to ukraine before his term ends and so um you know we saw over the weekend zielinski's out there saying um well i'll he's talking he's mentioned peace for the first time we've never seen it he is full-on let's give us nuclear weapons to defend ourselves with and that type of one of the worst warmongers out there and yet now he's talking maybe peace uh we will give them land as if zolinski could do any other than that and um and put us in nato oh okay so we'll have a peace where the russians can keep this land but then they get into NATO. Wasn't that the way this whole thing began? Not the whole thing, but the way the Zelensky administration began. The whole thing began back in 2014, as we were talking about earlier, with the coup,

with the Bidens getting into Burisma, with the connections of the Democrats and DNC and Hillary to the Ukrainians. But they'd had five years of civil war. When they had an election in 2019 you had zielinski campaigned on peace of all things and they had peace talks not with russia they were at war with eastern ukraine which wanted to culturally linguistically religiously was tied to Russia as they had been since the 1700s and even before that. But he went to war against his own people. The Ukrainians did after we had the coup there.

They did. And so they've been shelling their own people in Ukraine for five years. You know, when you look at all these reports, oh, look, the Russians sent a missile into a civilian. Well, yeah, that's reprehensible. I don't make any excuses for that whatsoever. But what is missing in that is the fact that the Ukrainian government was shelling its own civilians for five years. So when they come into power um in 2019 they send uh alexei arestovich to talk about peace and i've told that story many times i've shown the clips many times he comes back he says there's no chance for peace in an interview and the interviewer says oh that's horrible and goes oh it's going to get worse uh in three years 2022 uh we're going to be at full war with russia

and she said that's horrible he says yeah the entire country is going to be at full war with Russia. And she said, that's horrible. And he says, yeah, the entire country is going to be destroyed. But the good news is we get into NATO. This whole thing was planned out. This whole thing was planned out. Perhaps even Putin was part of it. Who knows?

How did they know that in three years they're going to have full on war with Russia? I mean, you got Putin going to the World Economic Forum and all the rest of this stuff. You know, he's out there singing, I found my thrill on blueberry hill. You know, he's doing all that kind of stuff. And the next thing you know, he's the villain. You know, not Klaus Schwab. Putin is the villain.

The guy that was partying with them. And they know that there's going to be full-on war in three years and they always wanted to get into nato and so that is what this slimy little sob zielinski is talking about now uh but jake sullivan made these remarks yesterday on abc's this week telling chief washington correspondent jonathan carl that that Biden aims to continue advancing his foreign policy objectives. He said, we're going to do everything in our power for these 50 days to start World War III. No, I'm sorry, to get Ukraine all the tools we possibly can to strengthen their population on the battlefield so that we'll be stronger at the negotiating table.

Now, that's the interesting thing. They know that it can't go on. They know that the war is lost. And yet, they're still ramping this stuff up. He said, I've encouraged the Ukrainian team to engage the incoming team, the Trump administration, as well, because again, on January the 21st, the in ukraine doesn't just go away well that'll be interesting to see if it does just go away if trump is going to be able to do it or if he's going to be willing to do it meanwhile last um i did the program i guess it was last monday i showed that russia had put out a video

showing the short amount of time that it takes for their hypersonic missiles leaving that base to get to various european cities you know poland in just a couple of minutes you know france is what something like you know 20 minutes or something like that or 20 minutes to london um that was the longest one was 20 minutes so now they've done another one and they show how long it takes it would take their hypersonic missile to get to american bases and the Middle East and Alaska and Hawaii and Montana and in North Dakota. This is a story from VaccineImpact.com, Brian Schlohavi. So the Russian media is reporting today that airstrikes inside Russia are continuing with American-made, and I guess, you know, this acronym, I've heard people refer to it A-T-A-C-M-S.

I've heard people refer to it as ATACMS. That's a pretty good acronym for it. We got some ATACM missiles here. Are these guys for real? They kill people, but they haven't ever grown up from the little boys playing with the toys. Let's send in some attack missiles. Yes, you can get this from K-Tel. It's like a kid's Christmas commercial or something.

So in this video, they say, well, you've got a U.S. air base at Qatar. We can reach that in 13 minutes. We can reach Kuwait in 11 minutes we can reach bahrain in 12 minutes and on and on djibouti and all these other places all these they show you know this is we know there's a american base in this particular and this is how long it takes us to get to that american base over the past three days ukrain Ukrainian forces carried out two strikes with the Atakams on targets in Russia's Kursk region, said the Russian Defense Ministry. On November the 23rd, they launched the five Atakam missiles into a village of Lotarevka, where there was an S-400 anti-aircraft missile division. Three missiles were destroyed.

Two reached the target, says Russia. On November the 25th, two days later, they sent some more attackams. These at an airfield in the Kursk region. Seven of them were shot down, but one reached its target. As a result, two soldiers were slightly injured from falling rocket fragments. And then more. Earlier on Monday, the White House National Security Communications Advisor John Kirby, after long denial, confirmed that Ukraine is allowed to use U.S.

ATAKOMs to fire at targets in the western Russian region of Kursk. And so in response to all this, they're showing pictures of how long it takes to get not only to these Middle Eastern bases that we just talked about, but how long it would take for them to get to Alaska or to Hawaii or Montana or North Dakota, making it clear that Europe is not the only place that should fear imminent attacks by their new missiles. And of course course there is currently no known missile defense system that can intercept these russian erectionic missiles

and um so you know this is um cuban missile crisis part two right um and uh you know that was a that was a big thing as i said when i was a young kid i was in second grade when that happened and everybody was saying well there's no not going to be any advanced warning you know cuba is so close to florida they get here in just a couple of minutes well now situation with these hypersonic missiles is that's pretty much everywhere that they can do that and it's not just that they're fast. They can't be seen by the radar because, again, it creates like a plasma envelope in the front as it's going that fast, going 10 to 11 times the speed of sound.

As it's going that fast, it creates kind of a plasma in front of it, and that absorbs a radar. So your radar doesn't even see it coming. It's not only just that it's that fast, but you can't see it either. It's a stealth missile. So how does the U.S. propose to counter this? This is a story that shows the utter bankruptcy,

financially and strategically, and the bankruptcy of being able to implement or do anything of the U.S. defense industry, the Pentagon. They are talking about using this stealth destroyer, itself an incredibly expensive ship, incredibly expensive, supposed to be difficult for radar to find it it looks really strange it's uh it's covered in all kinds of um things to absorb radar and stuff like that

it's got flat surfaces like uh you see with the stealth jets and things like that but the the problem is is i guess with all that stuff it's not really seaworthy for deep water operations and so they use it as literal and that is l-i-t-t-o-r-a-m-a-l meaning that it's for shallow water nearby land and so this thing was set up to be some kind of land support for Marines or for other troops operating close to land. And they set it up with the ship itself cost billions of dollars. And they set it up with a gun system that they decided was just too expensive to operate. Each one of the rounds from the gun system cost between $800,000 and a million dollars each round. And so this ship is kind of like the F-35.

Now, the F-35 is a $2 trillion debacle of bureaucratic waste and ineptitude. This is cheaper. It's just a few billion dollars. But it's another example of how they can't execute. They just waste money. And now they're pushing us into a war that's going to waste lives at an unprecedented amount because they're not ready to do anything with this. They're now looking at this thing and saying, well, we could use this as a base for our own hypersonic missiles.

The problem is that we don't have any hypersonic missiles. They've been doing things like the F-35, which also had a problem with its gun, but it's also got problems with power and reliability and heat and all the rest. It's got problems with everything. And this ship is probably the same thing as well. And so we don't have hypersonic missiles.

China and Russia do. But we're fixing to do something about it. Right? We're fixing to do it. Maybe we could use that total failure of a ship to launch the hypersonic missiles that we don't have. General, go back and fix your makeup, okay? What a joke these people are.

So again, a gun system that was never activated because it's too expensive to use. And so now they're going to say, well, let's retrofit it so that we can put the hypersonic missiles that we don't have on it they'll probably find that after they've retrofitted it and the this other group that's out there creating the hypersonic missiles will probably find that the missiles don't fit into whatever they've got to launch it it was certainly a costly blunder, said a defense analyst, but the Navy could take victory from the jaws of defeat here and get some utility out of these ships by making them into a hypersonic platform. They've been trying to develop hypersonic missiles for the last two decades, and we don't have any.

Russia and China do. And as a matter of fact, as they're looking at this program and fixing to do something about that, they're saying, well, we're going to have hypersonic missiles that travel somewhere between Mach 5 and Mach 7. Five to seven times the speed of sound. Their goals are not even commensurate with what the Russians are already doing. And they're talking about doing this years out. The Russians, this, um, arrest Nick, uh, whatever it is, a hazelnut tree is what it stands for in Russia. Uh, this, their hypersonic missile goes at mock 10.

And in the final stage, it goes up to mock 11. They're talking about, well, you know, maybe we could do something at five to seven. Five is the, uh, the lower threshold of hypersonic. They don't even have goals of catching up. Last year, the Washington Post reported that among the documents leaked by former Massachusetts Air National Guard member Jack Teixeira was a Defense Department briefing that confirmed that China had recently tested an intermediate-range hypersonic weapon called the DF-27. While the Pentagon had previously acknowledged the weapon's development, it had not recognized the fact that it's been tested.

And, of course, we had a very public test of Russia's hypersonic. So, again, what is it? They've got a goal of getting something that's going to be half as fast as the Russian missile, which I guess, you know, our our Defense Department is kind of half fast. Right. About half as fast as the Russian. World War III waits for the Pentagon to get its ducks in a row and develop some kind of a hypersonic missile that goes half as fast as the Russians. And choosing the Zumwalt, that's the program that created these three destroyers. And there's only three of them. They called them the Zumwalt.

The Navy is attempting to add to the usefulness of its $7.5 billion warship. Isn't that amazing? $7.5 billion for each ship. Considered by critics to be an expensive mistake, despite serving as a test platform for multiple innovations. Well, you know, the $2 trillion F-35 was a big mistake, but they're going to continue to pour money into it. They're going to do the same thing with the Zumwalt. Zumwalt was envisioned as providing land attack capability, an advanced gun system with rocket-assisted projectiles to open the way for Marines to charge ashore. Canceled because each one of the projectiles cost between $800,000 and a million. The three Zumwalt-class destroyers remain the Navy's most advanced surface warships.

Innovations include, listen to this, electric propulsion. Seven and a half billion dollars to create a battery-operated destroyer with a gun that is too expensive to operate. Where are they going to get recharged? That's what I want to know. What is the matter with the Pentagon?

And, of course, they've been talking about this for the longest time. We've got to look at climate change. Climate change, said the Pentagon, is our greatest threat. No hypersonic missiles and your aggressive provocation of wars is our greatest threat. And so they want to stop climate change by having an electric destroyer. But they're not worried about World War III. What fools these people are.

It's unbelievable uh so the navy wants to begin testing the hypersonic missiles in 2027 or 2028 let me just get russia to wait another four or five years as we continue to fire attack them into their country before they start using their hypersonic it will be just fine assuming that somebody can make the hypersonic missile. I guess the CIA is so incompetent they can't steal the plans. It used to be that China would steal or buy the plans, like a secret Asian man, Johnny Wong, bought a lot of military plans from the Clintons. We don't have anybody they can buy stuff from in China. I mean, we buy everything from them, but we can't buy their defense plans.

Just the stuff at Walmart. The U.S. weapons system will come at a steep price. It would cost nearly $18 billion to buy 300 of these hypersonic missiles that they haven't built yet. When you're talking about something that's four or five years out,

it's probably going to cost several times that. That's historical, right? And hysterical as well. $18 billion to buy 300 of the weapons and maintain them for over 20 years. Well, let's hope that they do maintain them for over 20 years and don't shoot them. But think about this. They shut the Zumwalt down because they had a gun that was going to cost a million dollars a round.

Now they're going to have 300 of these at $18 billion. So we're talking about $60 million a round. This has been a god math. We can't afford to shoot that. It costs a million dollars each time we fire off one of those guns. So let's retrofit it so it'll cost $60 million every time we fire off one of those guns so let's retrofit it so it'll cost 60 million every time we fire off one of those missiles this particular missile costs more than a dozen tanks and all it gets you is a precise non-nuclear explosion someplace far far away is it really

worth it to pay that kind of money, said Loren Thompson, a longtime military analyst in Washington, D.C. He must be an analyst and not a lobbyist, because if he's a lobbyist, the answer would be, of course it is. Of course it is. The answer is, he said, most of the time the missile costs much more than any target that you can destroy with it. I'm reminded of Ronald Reagan firing cruise missiles at Qaddafi's tents in Libya.

Tens of millions of dollars to destroy a tent and to kill some of his family members. Navy Rear Admiral Ray Spicer, though, says conventional missiles that cost less aren't much of a bargain. If they're unable to reach their targets, the adversary has got them. We never want to be outdone. Mr. President, uh, that we're going to have a, uh, hypersonic gap here. That's what we got to do. So, um, what does it mean for NATO security?

Well, Russia is continually telling, you know, the whole thing with Dr. Strangelove was that you have this crazy guy, Dr. Jack D. Ripper, who actually got it right about fluoride in the water. We all got the last laugh. He was crazy talking about fluoride in the water. So, you know, we got to stop them Ruskies. It's a communist plot. He was talking about fluoride in the water. So, you know, we got to stop them Ruskies. It's a communist plot. He was right about that as well. Unfortunately, he also kicked off World War III. And so they launched, you know, he does this thing and they wind up launching the B-52s,

which they overflew Russia with some B-52s which they overflew uh russia with some b-52 uh last week and um yeah so we're back to the strange love scenario but um uh the uh in the movie when they launch it you know they're trying to call them back and they get everything taking everything even shoot down some of their planes but um there's one that they aren't able to get back because it loses uh it's radio and it takes a nearby hit and so it's on that's that mission to go in there and so they get on the phone with the russians and say we're sorry alexei or whatever his name is i'm very sorry it's like a mike johnson character i'm very sorry we It's like a Mike Johnson character. I'm very sorry. We can't call them back. And so, you know, let's try to not let this thing get any further.

And it's like, well, we've got a doomsday system we just activated. And if there is an explosion anywhere here, we're going to let off all of our missiles. Well, why did you do that and not tell us? Well, we were going to tell you, but you did this first. Well, the problem is, is that Putin has told us. And he doesn't care. These people don't care. They're still sending the attackums in.

Right? He's told us, but they're still sending the attackums in. So, Washington Post says, what Putin's nuclear-capable Reshnik missile means for NATO security? Well, it means that we essentially have the cuban missile crisis again and it was always a situation where um you know it's a plan to save themselves and let the rest of us die the book raven rock talks about that and at that point in time you know like i said when i was in second third grade everybody was really worried about the cuban missile crisis and of course you should have been worried yeah uh this kind of brinksmanship and everybody knew about it and everybody was talking about it now we don't really care we don't really care about this kind of

brinksmanship which which is really crazy. This is really strange love. You know how I said, if we were to do it again, Stanley Kubrick could say, Dr. Strange love, how I learned to stop worrying and love the military industrial complex. Because no matter what these people do, no matter what this brinksmanship is, we don't care. We just love it. We love our empire, don't we?

We believe we have the right to use our weapons against military facilities of those countries that allow their weapons to be used against our facilities, said Russia on November the 21st. Western leaders and analysts dismissed Putin's rhetoric as more Russian saber rattling. Yeah, but see, they've got a saber that we don't have, right? They can rattle it because we don't have anything to stop that. Alexander Graf, senior researcher, the Hamburg-based Institute for Peace Research and Security Policy, believes that Europe is at the threshold of a new missile age. Yeah, we've got a hypersonic gap.

He said in July, the U.S. and Germany announced plans to rotate intermediate-range U.S. missiles into Germany, starting in 2026, prompting a sharp response from Moscow, while several nations have joined a French-led project, the European Long-Range Strike Approach, they call it ELSA. Isn't that nice, ELSA? To develop a long-range missile. We're in an arms race, and it's going to develop over the next 20 years, Graves said.

Different parties are growing their arsenals because they don't have the numbers yet to use these weapons effectively and to destroy the many targets that are possibly there. So let's have another round of building missiles to destroy the many targets that are possibly there so let's have another round of building missiles to destroy everything on earth and we all pay the military industrial complex to do it meanwhile france is now escalating you know we had the u.s send in their attackams we had the uk send in their storm shadow missiles and now france is rattling their saber. And their saber is a scalp missile. And Paris said, we have no red lines. No red lines.

We do anything to fight Russia. The only red lines that they've got in Paris are for SUVs and food. Those you can't have. Just like we've got the Pentagon focused on a $7.5 billion ship that has electric propulsion. Isn't that great? But don't you dare have meat or dairy, and you're going to live in a 15-minute city. That's where it all came from was paris that's that communist mayor there in paris was the one who uh pushed the first 15 minute city he also did not rule out french troops joining the conflict we will support

ukraine as intensely and as long as necessary why because it is our security that is at stake and that's an absolute lie all this stuff about security this is making stake. And that's an absolute lie. All this stuff about security, this is making us insecure, not more secure. Nothing that any of these NATO countries are doing are helping us. This is a regional conflict that has been over an area that has been going back and forth between Ukraine and Russia, being merged, wanting independence. This is a story that's been going on for 400 years, just like Vietnam. Vietnam, we were told, well, we got to stop the Chinese. You know, if North Vietnam wins this thing, well, that's it.

You know, domino theory. China's going to go through all of Southeast Asia. So we got to stop this thing. And again, when Robert McNamara meets the guy that he was opposing, decades later, the guy slammed his fist on the table and said, don't you know anything about history? Don't you know that we've been fighting the Chinese for over a thousand years? And as a matter of fact, subsequently, you know, now that Vietnam has become a manufacturing facility, a favorite of a lot of these multinational corporations to get cheap labor, now there are still, still to this day, there are issues with

China, just like China's having issues with the Philippines and these artificial islands that they put in the so-called China Sea. It's not China's sea anymore. The Gulf of Mexico belongs to Mexico. But it is, they're having conflicts with the Philippines. They're still having conflicts with Vietnam now. It's this whole domino thing that you hear. This is the kind of lies that these people keep telling us the same lie. Why? Because it works every time. That's why they keep using the domino theory. It works every time. Scott Ritter, a former UN weapons inspector, posted on X. He said, Russia will strike France. He said, NATO should withhold Article 5 protection. Let the French President Macron stew in his own juices, lest we all stew together, he said.

So if he wants to say there's no red lines anymore, we can do anything, we're going to send in troops, we're going to send in our scalp missiles to be fired into Russian territory. Well, don't respond if he gets hit with missiles from Russia. So, again, it's the U.S., the U.K., it's France. Yeah, it's NATO. Made it clear. They're at war with Russia. Get ready for a wartime scenario in Europe. Be wary of Russia and China, says a top NATO officer.

And look at the picture. Pull this up. Oh, you can't? Okay, don't have it. This is as a picture. They've got a woman dressed up in combat camouflage. If this doesn't illustrate what's wrong with our military, nothing does. This headline and this picture, a woman in combat uniform.

Get ready for a wartime scenario. And he's talking to civilians as well as to businesses. He says, Europeans must be ready to sacrifice luxuries to pay for support of Ukraine. Yeah, war makes us poor. And it kills a lot of us as well. And to prevent a wartime scenario

coming to the nations of the continent if they're insufficiently prepared. Again, we're back to the, this is not a regional conflict. This is not a centuries-old conflict between Ukrainians and Russians. No, this is the beginning of a domino effect. He's going to go throughout all of Europe. Just like Americans, these people can get rid of their luxuries so they can feed the war machine.

And that will eventually involve feeding your children and grandchildren into it, not just your money. In a speech aimed at businesses across the alliance, this Admiral Rob Bauer, he's a Dutch naval officer, chair of the NATO Military Committee. It's not Jack Bauer, it's Rob B bauer it's rob bauer and rob is getting ready to rob us of money he's telling us get ready we're going to pick your wallets for the war that we're trying to create he outlined that businesses had to be ready for war but by improving their readiness they also reduce the likelihood of future fighting by improving nato's level of

deterrence oh great yeah he says if you ramp up your deterrence and if you ramp up support for Ukraine, those are two different things. There will be less money to spend on other things and it'll take away some of our luxuries and it will require sacrifice. He also implied an extra cost on businesses. So they're going to have to shift away

from the efficient, cost-cutting, but fragile just-in-time models. And of course, we've talked about this over and over again. Jack Lawson, one of the first interviews I had with him, we talked about just-in-time delivery of things and how vulnerable that made our whole supply chain. And that was before everything got locked down in 2020. So we saw that operating in reality. But this just-in-time thing with all of the different legs of transportation in it, as these people are so adamant that they're going to shut down diesel engines, that they're going to shut down our fuel and all the rest of the stuff, they've created a distributed manufacturing and inventory system, this just-in-time thing. And now they're breaking the transportation legs on this. It's almost like they're trying to destroy us, our own government, our own leaders. And that is what they're doing.

And so what this guy is saying is, well, right now, you know, the just-in-time method is saving people money off of this stuff. But we're going to have to change that and go with even a more expensive thing to make it more robust. Because it's created a very fragile supply chain that can easily be disrupted. It can easily be disrupted by hostile people coming through our southern border for example he said western economies have to set it up so they can't be knocked over by some kind of hybrid warfare of a sudden supply chain shock yeah like maybe you know you got a president who locks us down over a fake pandemic while the present adversary is russia he said wise economies would also be seeking to reduce

their dependence on china reminding listeners of the vast majority of strategic imports like rare earth minerals and essential medicines are made there. Another reason not to take pharmaceuticals made in China for the most part. He said, Euro and American businesses should ask themselves, is my company or organization ready for war? What can my company or organization do to prevent war? Oh, well, first time we've seen prevention there. Businesses need to be prepared for a wartime scenario. While it may be the military that wins battles, it is the economy which wins wars. That is the truth.

That is the truth. Yeah, it is the military fighting the battles, but it is the economy that wins the war. Take a look at like our Civil War, right? Which side won the war? The side that had the most manufacturing capacity. Same thing with World War II, right? It's the economy that wins the wars. Uh-oh.

We're not in too good a shape with that. We've had our economy eviscerated because of these so-called climate threats. These same people who are destroying our economy, destroying all the legs of this distributed system and everything, now say, well, you know, it's the economy that is going to be doing that.

Yeah, it's a stupid approach. Absolutely stupid. We're going to take a quick break, and we will be right back. Thank you. You're listening to The David Knight Show. Brian and Deb McCartney. David, my brother was with us for Thanksgiving. He works at the munitions depot in Pearl Harbor. Said they're clearing out the old munitions and it's all headed to Ukraine, making room for new arms. Yeah, well, it's also as that the guy who is head of the Pacific Command said, he said, look, I understand that these weapons

are not for a particular theater, but if we put them all in Europe, we don't have anything in the Pacific because they can't easily be moved around once you deploy them to a particular area. And he said, at the beginning, we were getting rid of our older equipment, but he says now we're getting rid of our newer stuff.

It is absolutely insane. I mean, I hope, I hope for whatever and give him all the praise if he can pull it off somehow. I hope that Trump can do it. I just increasingly don't think that that's going to happen, unfortunately. Marky Mark says the or eshnik missile is a ballistic missile which goes hypersonic during flight particularly re-entry it's not a hypersonic cruise missile big difference yeah i know that um and it's uh but it's um bottom line is they don't have a defense for it okay you can shoot down a cruise missile uh but you can't shoot down one of these things you can't even see it once it goes hypersonic as they illustrated um and uh fired from deep inside russia so there's not a chance that they're going to get it in the early stages uh one mind covenant says david don't you know there'll be a tesla charging station in the hull of that ship it'll only

take 30 days to charge it. Not too bad, yeah. Oh, you know, Elon Musk might sell them on that. You know, they'd probably get these guys to sign off. He is the king of crony capitalism. Atomic Dog says, no, no, no. These battery-powered ships will have a nuclear reactor to recharge the batteries. Problem solved, yeah. And the AI, too.

You know, have a nuclear reactor for the AI and the batteries. Yeah, if it was nuclear, they'd just say nuclear. But it said electrical. Again, I didn't look into it. But I know the Pentagon is obsessed over the climate change stuff, just like they're obsessed over DEI. Johnny Gospelsied, they never disclosed how fast the SR-71 was. It was as fast as a rocket ship. I tracked it on radar when I was in the military in the 80s.

They always lie. The Black Hawk, yeah. That was a pretty interesting thing. I wonder, well, anyway. Denver Attaway, at the time of that report, Ukraine was using more artillery in a day than the USA was producing in a month yeah you know it's interesting to see all the reports about um oh look at this um they're they have to uh russia's got to shanghai uh russian men and bars and stuff like that well you know they're doing that in

ukraine as well one side will tell you that about the other side the other side won't tell you that about their their situation but it's happening on both sides and of course that's nothing new like i said before you know we just uh recently went back and watched a little bit of um of the disney uh thing i saw when i was like in second or third grade scarecrow um with with Patrick McGowan, because I like Patrick McGowan. It was pretty good. But in the first episode of their, I think it's a three-part series, which a lot of people, interesting trivia,

a lot of people didn't catch it because it premiered on the opposite, the Ed Sullivan show, when the Beatles first appeared on Ed Sullivan. But I guess that's why I missed the Beatles. But in that first episode, they were Shanghai people. They had a Shanghai gang that was going into bars and hitting guys over the head and carrying them off.

So this has always been going on in wars, right? And it's happening now it's just a an indication of how dire the situation is and of course they want to put it out there saying well that indicates that russia is losing no they're not russia they said lost 2 000 troops in a day with this push because it was like forget it we're just going to go in that's the same kind of strategy that Ulysses Grant had at the end of the war. All the other generals, when they take really heavy casualties, they'd kind of step back a little bit. But he just kept pushing people and said, I've got more people, and I'm going to keep putting them in until I win. Russia's got more people, and they're going to keep putting them in, and they don't care.

Your life doesn't matter to these politicians. That's why I keep trying to tell people, stop going to war putting them in and they don't care your life doesn't matter to these politicians that's why i keep trying to tell people you know stop going to war for them you know fight if your country is invaded i like the beginning of sergeant york he got it right and then he was he was bamboozled did a great job and when he got into battle he was very heroic and everything but he was right about war and what a just war was. And then they talked him out of it. We had no, we had no, uh, should have not been involved in World War I. We had no reason to be there.

Uh, but there's still, um, you know, individual acts of heroism. Once people get into it, they're in a fight for their life and for the life of their comrades and so forth, but fellow soldiers. But, you know, when we look at how they push us, they don't care about us. They've got their own power games. It's about their money. It's about lines on the map. And you mean nothing to them.

And the things that you think are valuable, your country, your culture, mean nothing to them. And we've seen them destroying our country and our culture just to prove all of that. Eric, thank you very much for the tip. Thank you. I hope you had a great Thanksgiving. I did. And I am so grateful to all of you who have supported us and to Gard, who covered for us for two days. Did a great job.

Gard Goldsmith at Liberty Conspiracy. And you can catch him weeknights. And he's on both Twitter and on Rockfin. And I want to thank real quickly some of the people. As I said, we made our goal last month. And I want to thank some of the people who sent checks. I mentioned Zell and cash app earlier uh these are people who we got the checks the last um week after i was on uh last monday uh jackie and fred you the sellers family uh mrs teal c thank you

very much that was very generous i appreciate that uh dan b all. That was very generous. I appreciate that. Dan B. All of these are very generous, but I mentioned one or two of them, a very large amount. Lloyd P. Aaron F. Matthew H. Noel and David T. Mary N. Always see her name there as well. Many of these people, Stacey P, Martin T, again, Marty, David and Susie S, Christopher S, Judy F, James F, and Melda D. Thank you so much, all of you, for your support. And let's talk a little bit about Thanksgiving. You know, I saw this, it was on the Epic Times. And it said, there was no downside to gratitude so fill your plate this thanksgiving said each year thanksgiving is a fresh chance to embrace the spirit of gratitude that characterizes the holiday and you know looking at that made me think when i saw

this picture of um how Trump was celebrating Thanksgiving. There he is, the table. YMCA. Ian Musk, you know, must have got an X t-shirt on. YMCA. This is great. YMCA. I remember when I saw that, I told Karen, I said, yeah.

I remember when he signed the MCA agreement, saying, we're getting rid of NAFTA. You don't like NAFTA, right? Well, let's call it something else. We'll call it MCA. And it was the same thing. Back in the day, the New American was not just excusing everything that Trump did. They would actually criticize him for certain things. They criticized him for this.

They said, this is the same or worse than NAFTA. He's negotiated a couple of individual things that they put up front to distract people to pacify people uh like better deal for american dairy farmers on you know with canada and things like that but it was essentially the same thing and so i i played when that was announced it's like this is crazy you know you got all these people alex was cheering it on all this and i played ymca that's before trump started using it for his rallies and i said why mca why mca why would you do something like this it makes absolutely no sense but you know there they are they're partying partying at

this big thing and you know i look at it and to say, I'm grateful. I'm grateful for what we have, you know? And it is important because when we look at people who desire to have money and power, that's what I'm talking about. I actually feel sorry for people like Elon Musk and Donald Trump because they're so focused on wealth and power. The Bible says those people who seek to be rich fall into temptation. They fall into a snare. Many hurtful lusts which destroy them. The love of money, the root of all evil.

These people love the power so much. And it wasn't just Elon Musk. Trump is there with Trudeau. Trudeau. How many times have I said, when we look at the globalist fake pandemic sold to us by the WHO and the WEF and all the rest of this stuff in the UN. I said we had everybody, whether it was Trump or Trudeau, whether it was supposedly somebody who was left wing or somebody who was supposedly right wing, they all did the same thing. Isn't that amazing?

And now here they are partying together on Thanksgiving. They had the same fake COVID policies for the same fake pandemic. Yeah. So, again, going back to being thankful, I said, it's a time to slow down and take stock of the bounty that we enjoy and to give thanks because we recognize

that all we have is a blessing. No matter your standing or your status in life, there's always much to be grateful for. We need to focus not on what we don't have, but on the things that we do have. And that's really what Thanksgiving should be about. That's why it's my favorite holiday. As a matter of fact, again, the Bible says godliness with contentment is a really great gain, right? If you can be content with that and if you can live a godly life and not have to do whatever it takes to get ahead of other people, to take them down, to get control over them. That's what that all leads to, the love of money, the love of power. There are many advantages to practicing gratitude.

Those are epic times. When you focus on what you have, you set yourself on a path to peace and serenity. Gratitude fortifies, inoculates you from negativity, from the poison of a toxic attitude. However, gratitude is not merely being focused on the blessings in the external world. It also has an internal component. When you're grateful, you affirm what is good in life, both internally and externally. You recognize the goodness before you, including food, shelter, family, friends, material possessions, and you recognize the goodness within you, including food, shelter, family, friends, material possessions, and you recognize the goodness within you, such as your health, your abilities, your attitude, your intellect,

your emotional well-being. While gratitude is related to your emotional life, it is also related to your will or your choice. Sometimes, though we may not feel grateful, we have to choose to focus on the good rather than being stuck in negativity. Well, it's all good, but it's kind of that epic times thing, kind of comes across as something you'd hear somebody say that's a psychologist or something. Everybody knows that being grateful is good for you. But it always begs the question, to whom are we thankful? Who do we thank for this?

Who are we grateful to for this? Is it the cosmos? Is it Mother Earth? What is it? Is it the karma? What is it? No, it's a person. Our gratitude should be offered to God.

You know, when you look at Psalm 16, to paraphrase it, keep me safe, God. Be my refuge. Every good thing I have comes from you. Every, you alone are my cup of blessing. And you alone guard all I have. See, that's one of the things that makes rich people so covetous, so insecure, so afraid. They're always worried because they've got so much stuff.

They're always worried that somebody's going to take that away from them. The thing that they put so much value in. I remember watching Silas Marner. It had Ben Kingsley in it. And that was such a good film. I would highly recommend that to you. Ben Kingsley, Silas Marner. It's a classic.

And I read it to my sons after that. But I looked at that and I could see myself in him. This is a guy who lived by himself. And when I saw that, I looked at it. It really made me reassess my life. He lived by himself pretty much and he'd accumulated a lot of money. And at some point, it's stolen from him. And he thinks his life is over. But it turns out that even though he lost it and he's ready to retire or whatever, I forget some of the details, but he winds up adopting and taking care of a little girl. And he was so much happier as he focused on things that were external to him, to her. To God alone, we are to render the ultimate honor,

the allegiance, the thankfulness. To God, who is the provider of all things. It is God who is the driving force behind seasons and harvest. And in this article, they say it's very different when you look at totalitarian societies. We've talked about this over and over again, communism especially, but all totalitarian societies, you have people who want to be God. They're very jealous of God. They don't want you looking to God for anything. They want you looking to the state for everything.

And they gave an example in this article. They said Germans and other Europeans have long had localized expressions of Christian worship and thanksgiving during harvest. This is an expression of gratitude for today's blessing and a prayer for future provision. But during the communist era, the East German government taught its children that it was the solidarity of the workers' movement that could overcome nature and could provide the harvest, school children were forced to memorize this communist rhyme. Without God, without sun, we will get the harvest done. Well, you know, yeah, you don't need God, right?

You're going to get it done because you're going to work together and you're going to work for the government. And it's always that way. It is always that way. You know, Trump puts out a Thanksgiving message. Happy Thanksgiving to all, including the radical left, who worked so hard to destroy our country, but failed and will always fail because their ideas are hopelessly bad, etc., etc. Right? He's not thankful to God for supposedly saving him

from an assassination attempt. I'm not sure that I believe that at all. But he is out there selling Bibles, and he's not the only one. It's interesting. Sales of Bibles are booming. I saw several articles about this over the weekend. Wall Street Journal had one.

Many other people had articles about it. They said a 22% jump in Bible sales due to rising anxiety. Overall, books are only up by 1%, but Bibles are up by 22%. So, you know, Trump's got his finger on the pulse of the country. He's got his $60 King James Bible that he put out there. When you can pick one up, most people will give you one for free. If you want to go to a bookstore, you can get one $10 or so. His is $60.

But, you know, when you look at the Bible, one of my favorite verses is out of Isaiah, where it talks about the rain and the snow, and in terms of God's Word in our life. And I thought that was such an interesting thing, because you've probably experienced this as well. Sometimes things from God's Word will sink in right away, like rain. Sometimes it'll set there and wait for the right season of your life before it sinks in. So sometimes it's like rain. Sometimes it's like snow. And so this is happening, as a matter of fact. This is happening not because of New Year's where somebody's saying, well, I've got a resolution.

I'm going to read through the Bible this year, that type of thing. No, this is because people are concerned about a lot of things. People are experiencing anxiety themselves. They're worried for their children or for their grandchildren. They're worried about things, they said, like artificial intelligence or election cycles and everything. No. Well, yeah, maybe war. Maybe the economy.

Maybe those big things, right? The manager of Faith and Life Bookstore in Kansas said she's seeing a lot of first-time Bible buyers are looking for hope in the world and the way that it is, and the Bible is what they're reaching for, she said. Well, that's good. Read it. Ask questions.

Take your time, right? Let it sink in. One of the things I would warn people, especially first-time buyers or new Christians, I don't like the yearly reading plans. To me, it becomes a checkmark item, and you've got to run through it, right? And you're just skimming over it. We all know we can read stuff, and we can sit there. We've got something else on our mind.

We can read something and come back. Why don't I just read? And that's not just the Bible. It's anything you read, right? Take your time. Let it sink in. Think about it. Question it.

If you've got questions, look through that. I don't like the annual reading programs for that very reason, because I do like to take my time through it. She said, I'd like to say there's a craving for knowledge of Scripture, but a lot of smart people are thinking about Bible marketing and catering to every whim for Bible study, like Trump. I've seen in the Bible, mine is a gift, and they've got everything for every little niche and every little profession. They even had like a law enforcement Bible that had handcuffs on the cover. Do you want handcuffs on the cover of your Bible? I mean, what's going on with that? It's like, no, Christ died to set the captives free to get rid of those handcuffs. But it's just the strangest thing. I wonder if there's anything in

there about how you can't solve spiritual problems by using law enforcement. I doubt that, but there's crazy stuff out there. But I just want to say, don't crave knowledge of scripture. Crave knowledge of Christ. That's the key thing. When you read it, don't read it because you want to get some head knowledge about it. That's fine, whatever. That doesn't do you any good, though. You want to find out, and that should be your mindset. What does this tell me about Christ? Not what does this tell me to do? What do I have to do?

No, what does it tell me about Christ? Make that your hermeneutic when you look through this stuff. Here's three questions fake Christians can't answer. And it's also something we can think about as well. Evidence of God's presence in your life. Evidence of scripture changing you. Evidence of a growing appreciation for God's mercy. First one, presence of God in your life.

How real has God been this week to your heart? How clear and vivid is your assurance and certainty of God's forgiveness and fatherly love? To what degree is that real to you right now? Are you having any particular season of sweet delight in God? That's what you should be looking for. That's what you should be praying for. It's not about scripture knowledge. Do you really sense his presence in your life? Do you really sense him giving you his love? That's the first one.

What evidence do you see of God's presence in your life? What evidence do you see of scripture changing you? Have you been finding scripture to be alive and active? Are you finding certain biblical promises extremely precious? Which ones? Are you finding God's calling you or challenging you to something through the word? In what ways? The third one, evidence of a growing appreciation of God's mercy. Are you finding God's grace more glorious and moving now than you have in the past? Are you conscious of a growing sense of the evil of your heart, and in response, a growing dependence on, and a grasp of the preciousness of the mercy of God?

These are questions worth asking whether people are fake Christians or whether they need to be woken up from their spiritual sleep. And so, as we see what is happening, what is coming for us in the future, just take a look at this town in Ontario. Find $10,000 for refusing to celebrate Pride Month. And they also find them because they didn't fly the pride flag, even though they don't have a flagpole in the town. So you're going to be compelled, they're going to try to compel you,

to worship a false god. And there's many of them out there. False god of LGBT. We've got somebody that is building a statue several stories high of Trump to be put in Butler, where he was supposedly wounded. I just wonder if the statue's going to have feet of clay that's it needs to have but they get fined ten thousand dollars and

these town officials are going to have to go to a re-education camp and have a struggle session just like they do with marxism it's a town of only 1,300 people. In a decision handed down last week, the Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario ruled that IMO, its mayor, and two of its councillors had violated the Ontario Human Rights Code by refusing to proclaim June as Pride Month. And yet, in Ontario and other places, the Canadian Statement of Rights, I forget what they call it, Charter of Rights, Charter of Rights, like our Bill of Rights, that protected religious freedom, they threw that away. But don't you dare not celebrate Pride Month. The dispute began in 2020 when the town was approached by the group Borderline Pride.

They had a written request to proclaim June as Pride Month. Attached to the letter was a draft proclamation, including clauses such as, quote, Pride is necessary to show community support and belonging for LGBTQ individuals and the diversity of sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression represents a positive contribution to society.

No, it doesn't. It doesn't. It's divisive. It's domineering. We don't need to worry about hurting these people's feelings. They are intolerant. Some of the most intolerant groups you've ever seen. They demand that you worship them.

They demand to control your language. And we should reject this. Well, they did in that small town. And so now the Human Rights Tribunal, so you have tribunals, but you don't have a Charter of Rights anymore in Canada. This tribunal said the town has to pay $10,000 and McQuaker, who I think is the mayor, has to pay $5,000. Borderline Pride had demanded that the town pay $15,000, that each of these three councilors who voted no would have to pay $10,000 apiece. Now, when we look at where we are, most Americans now are favoring legal euthanasia. 71%.

71%. Why is this? Because if we don't support life at the beginning of life, we're not going to support it at the end of life. And in the UK, they have just pushed physician-assisted suicide. But we have to be consistent in our supportive life everywhere, not just with abortion, not just even with euthanasia. We have to be consistent in terms of what happens abroad. This was put up by, let's see if I can find this. Where did it go? It was put up by Gerald Slinty, and I don't have it here in the thing,

but it was a picture of a newborn baby that was a little bit of a preemie, but in survivable condition, but could not survive because the hospitals were being shelled. And Slinty says, how dare you call yourself pro-life and not care about this baby,

right? We don't care about babies. We don't care about children. We don't care about women. We don't care about men. We want war. Don't say that it's okay because it's being done by Biden. Don't say that it's okay because it's being done by Trump or by Putin or by Zelensky or by Netanyahu. It's not okay. It's not okay. You fight to preserve life. You fight to preserve peace. And so if you're going to do that to the Gaza baby, right, you're going to have euthanasia as well as abortion. And of course, we've seen this with the vaccines. Being pro-life means that you stop the people being lied to and gaslit over poison, and you don't support the people who pushed it. That's why I could not support either Trump or Biden. Never, never could I support them.

We're almost out of time, and I just want to say, I didn't get to money today, but there's a lot of stuff that is coming. The CBDC stuff, folks, is coming in the background in a very subtle way. And Trump is going to be the pacifier in people's mouth to not complain about it. He's going to disguise this stuff. You need to get out of that system. Go to Wise Wolf Gold. Go to David Knight of that system you know go to wise wolf gold go to david knight gold let him know that you're coming through us you need to start making some preparations to get outside of this system and of course the fundamentals for gold are still there goal to take you to tony arteman have a good day thank you the common man

they created common core to dumb down our children They created common paths 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.
