The David Knight Show - 30Jan24 CO2 Pipeline — Eminent Domain, Imminent Threat and the Politicians/CEO Behind It

Episode Date: January 30, 2024

"Mainstream media" has paid little or no attention to the Texas border — until the "Army of God" arose. How are they twisting what's happening? The small group is giving MSM everything they want to ...feed the government narrative. And is the entire "25 States Against Biden" an election gimmick by GOP?Conspiracies? Conservatives have recoiled and distanced themselves from the pejorative term, but are now realizing — there WAS a conspiracy all along. But of course Trump could never be a part of it. Saturday Night Live, the arrogant, ignorant "entertainment" for the masses, think debanking is a word that Trump made up.The massive migration of Somalis has created "Little Mogadishu" in Minnesota. Ilhan Omar has made it clear that America is NOT her concern except to use it for her Somalian feud. "Somalia first, Islam second". This is what the globalist mass migration is about — a balkanization and erasure of nations. But the Somalis are not the only group that puts American interest secondary to their true loyalty. House impeachment is just election year entertainment and distraction. Mayorkas will NOT be impeached by Senate even though there are MILLIONS of reasons (we don't even know their names) to impeach himMore tragic jab sudden deaths — more lies and plagiarism from Harvard regarding cancer research just like ClimateGate. Science has been lying to us for a long time just like Ernst Haeckel and Carl Sagan — "ontology recapitulates phylogeny"Nikki Haley's brother connected to Johnson & Johnson but so is Trump. Trump's new pal, Vivek Ramaswamy has ties with Soros and globalist that go far beyond what he's admitted.

Starting point is 00:00:00 Using free speech to free minds. You're listening to The David Knight Show. As the clock strikes 13, it's Tuesday, the 30th of January, Year of Our Lord 2024. Well, today we're going to take a look at Musk as he takes his next step to put a chip in somebody's brain. Of course, he doesn't need that to control your mind or to read your mind. He's going to use Twitter for that. He's talked about Twitter being the hive mind. But it does tie into his vision, along with many of the other tech billionaires of transhumanism and singularity.
Starting point is 00:01:19 We'll also take a look at Trump and his alliance with his competitor, his billionaire competitor for president, Burgum in North Dakota. The person who's rumored to be his vice presidential preference, Noam out of South Dakota. And how they're working together to steal people's farms using eminent domain so they can put CO2 pipelines through them. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. The same guy who tried to throw a little old widow out of her home so he could build a parking lot for his casino. I think these CO2 pipelines are even dumber and more evil than a casino.
Starting point is 00:01:56 We'll be right back and start with the border. Yeah, you know, this is all a lot of song and dance that we have. These people are tap dancing around the issue. But I had, when we look at what is happening at the border, kind of interesting, Jeffrey Tucker said, Hey, notice how the mainstream media is covering this, or rather not covering it? They really didn't cover it until you started to have this convoy. And they cover the convoy, and they've got a spin on it. It's all over the place in conservative media, but not so much with
Starting point is 00:02:38 the mainstream media. And I had a listener, Robert W., who wrote me and said, well, on the 25th, the guy you talked about, it was on Thursday, the guy you talked about at the border, he says, you know who I am? Well, you're going to know who I am, that type of thing. And he does look like a guy that looks very much like a guy that is a Middle Eastern terrorist. But he says, that guy asking, do you know who I am? He says, well, just as a casual observer is he any more dangerous than the rest of us i'd say um he is a cia handpick if he is i worry more about the
Starting point is 00:03:15 government on a daily basis than about him and um and i agree you know maybe maybe she should have said are you Tim Osmond? The bottom line is that they may be using him for something like that. Maybe they set up that thing to use him. Because Tim Osmond was the guy that introduced to the world as Osama bin Laden. He became the mastermind of 9-11. No, the masterminds of 9-11 were the CIA handlers. The people who took down that building. They were the mastermind of 9-11 no the masterminds of 9-11 were the cia handlers the people who took down that building they were the masterminds but they can use this type of thing and of course they can fear monger with this but we're also going to talk about the real risks there are real risks you
Starting point is 00:03:59 know we've got a government that doesn't care at all about our border and the media that covers for them and pushes their narrative right biden is saying well i'm not going to do anything about the border unless you first give me money for ukraine and give me money for israel and all these foreign wars that type of thing they want to go abroad killing people making enemies then leave the border wide open is that a prescription for real terror You can have people who've got a real gripe with the U.S. You know, this long history that we've got with Iran. There's a reason that Iran says the U.S. is the great Satan
Starting point is 00:04:35 and Israel is a little Satan. They're more upset with us than they are Israel because we've got a very long history with them going back to the 1950s. And, you know, paul talks about blowback as good that he mentioned that just to give people an understanding of the consequences of our foreign policy the consequences of our assassinations and our coups that we do and our wars we have built up a store of wrath throughout the world people who would love nothing more than to kill a bunch of americans to get even because the foreign policies of our government that is not national security that's national suicide and now after kicking the hornet's
Starting point is 00:05:24 nest they're opening up all the doors and windows to let the hornets in. That's the way I see it. But there's, you know, it's the fact that there is a total disregard for these same people trying to get revenge that they have given them a reason to get revenge. Maybe MAGA could understand that. You think, you know, uh, uh, Matt Gates didn't understand it. He went on and into, uh, they had him and they had another guy who was Republican who did not like Trump. And so Matt Gates is cheering Trump and he's like, he's just so great.
Starting point is 00:06:01 You know, he, he took his assassinated that Soleimani guy, you know, well, he was a national hero in Iran. One of the reasons why they went after him. Does that help us to do that? The other guy said, are you crazy? You think that really puts them in their place or does it activate them? What he could have said, but didn't say to Matt Gates, he could have said, all of you MAGA people, right?
Starting point is 00:06:28 60, 70% of them see this second Trump term as the revenge term. Now, they've got grievances with the Biden administration. And you've seen a lot of conservatives who've been targeted, imprisoned for life and things like that over January the 6th. I believe that Trump had a hand in that, quite frankly. I think he was the Judas goat in all of that.
Starting point is 00:06:53 I think he, regardless of whether he was the Judas goat or just a passive observer who didn't really know the consequences that were going to happen. How could he not know that? I knew that. A lot of people knew that. How could he not know that? Anyway, that. A lot of people knew that. How could he not know that? Anyway, you want to say that he's that stupid? Well, he didn't do anything to help them either, did he? And he wouldn't even mention these people for six months.
Starting point is 00:07:16 He had two weeks to pardon them. Didn't talk about it. Six months, he didn't talk about them either. And so when you look at the results results of this these people refuse to anything about our border they hold us hostage to these foreign wars and they call it defense and they spend nearly a trillion dollars on defense as one person pointed out for the wall trump wouldn't even spend a measly five billion dollars i say measly $5 billion because look at the trillions of dollars that he spent. You know, spent $6 trillion on his COVID war against us.
Starting point is 00:07:53 Wouldn't defend the border, but he unleashed medical martial law, created a toxic poison and all the rest of the stuff, pushed everybody to stay locked down. And here's a taste of universal basic income. You like that? You like just doing nothing and sitting at home and getting a check from the government? We could do that full time. You like that?
Starting point is 00:08:15 Here's a taste of it. You like that? A lot of people did. So to put it in perspective, one person said he couldn't find $5 billion in the sofa of Washington, DC, the congressional sofa, uh, when he had Republicans to help him. But, um, so just to put, get rid of some of these zeros. So it's a little bit easier to understand. It'd be like saying, um, you know, somebody comes to the door and, uh, they, uh, want $5 for Girl Scout cookies. Sorry, don't have any money. And then he takes $6,000 out and he goes and, you know,
Starting point is 00:08:51 buys something else for $6,000. That's what it's about. Couldn't afford $5 for the border, but $6,000 for his COVID war. You know, just to knock off six zeros. Okay. Or nine zeros, I should say. It's astronomical numbers. It's crazy.
Starting point is 00:09:14 You know, as they go from billion to trillion. So what is happening? Well, Jeffrey Tucker, in commenting about the border, he said, you know, I saw this, the spooky blackout of border news. I thought, is that true? They really blacked it out? I don't on a regular basis, to be honest with you, I don't bother to go to the Washington Post, New York Times, USA Today on a regular basis.
Starting point is 00:09:38 I've got a tab sometimes if I want to look to see how the mainstream media is covering things. I've got a tab of about a dozen of them that I look at. But I don't do it on a regular basis. And I should have done it with this, but I didn't do it. And he says, yeah, they're not talking about this stuff at all. Except now. Now they've got a narrative. And I assumed that it was being covered by them because Drudge was on it. I typically use Drudge as now the news aggregator
Starting point is 00:10:07 for government mainstream media because he does a pretty good job of summarizing their stuff. And since he was covering it extensively because Matt Drudge and Ann Coulter, his friend, have always focused on the border. She's very focused on the border. And so i guess he covered it maybe because of that it's on his radar but uh it's not because the mainstream media was
Starting point is 00:10:31 really covering it and so uh you know he says uh they really haven't started covering it until you had this thing called god's army and now politico and it's on drudge has an article talking about, Oh, there's all these people, uh, in, um, conservative circles calling this another feds erection, uh, saying it's a trap. I said that last week, didn't I? So, uh, as I talked about this stuff on Friday, I said, Oh, by the way, you know, Alex Jones are out there saying we've got to go to the border and said, you're a fool if you follow him. You're a fool if you follow him for news. You're a fool if you follow him to the border. You're a big fool.
Starting point is 00:11:16 People who followed him to January 6th. How did that work out? Worked out great for Alex. Worked out great for Trump. You know, Alex made millions. Trump made hundreds of millions. And these other people suffered the consequences. And conservatives in general suffered the consequences of that.
Starting point is 00:11:33 So I said on Friday, I said, don't do it. Then Friday afternoon, I look, and here's the thing already. We're going to do a convoy. We're going to call it God's Army and all the rest. And I talked about that yesterday. But now they're focused on it. And he says, says you know when you stop and think about the issues involved and you know the day before thursday i did i talked about the 10th amendment 25 states that are there maybe something positive could come out of um the general um you know to take back this mindset that trump has destroyed in conservatism, the idea that we can fix our problems at the state level,
Starting point is 00:12:08 we can fix our problems using the Tenth Amendment, nullification, non-commandeering, these other issues, rather than putting all of our hopes on some savior who's going to fix it for us. You know, right before Ronald Reagan ran for office and before the Christian Coalition got in behind him about abortion. 73, the court decision, Roe v. Wade. And then he didn't run in 76, didn't make it past Gerald Ford. So he runs again in 1980.
Starting point is 00:12:45 And now the coalition, this Christian coalition gets behind him. And in that intervening year, the first seven years, it had already been a move to essentially block this at the state level. To say, well, the Supreme Court doesn't really have the authority to make that decision, which is what Dobbs said. And it's what I was saying for years and years. And so they were going to try to block it at the local level. But then the strategy changed.
Starting point is 00:13:14 The Christian coalition got behind Reagan and said, no, we'll elect the president and get him to change the Supreme Court. We'll leave the Supreme Court in control of an issue over which they don't have any constitutional say. So once you start down that process, well, the only thing that matters is winning. Constitution doesn't matter. Principles of decentralization and checks and balances, none of that stuff matters. The only thing that matters is we get our way. And I understand that. Kids are being killed. But it's never a good idea and so they got behind reagan and guess what you put in people like sandra day o'connor and uh other people who were really a little bit to the you know their center left really uh put a bunch of people and
Starting point is 00:13:58 that strategy failed until the supreme court said um you know, finally, we got some Supreme Court people in there. And it was just a lucky thing, quite frankly. I mean, you look at the court decisions of Kavanaugh and Amy Coney Barrett, and it's like, well, how did they come up with the right answer on this thing? So anyway, it came through, and finally they admitted they didn't have uh the the power to do it and immediately people like trump started saying well we got to have and many other candidates running for president people like pence said we need to make this a federal issue again no you don't so um i thought that it would be a good thing, perhaps one of the good things that could come out of this would be that people would recapture that idea that, as Reagan said, ironically, Washington is not the solution.
Starting point is 00:14:54 Washington is the problem. And conservatives need to recapture that mindset, and they need to stop looking for saviors like Reagan or like Trump. But that could be one of the good things that comes out of it. But it all is just theater. It's all just, you know, big entertainment show and tap dancing at the border. Because as I pointed out yesterday, it's only two and a half miles out of an over 1,200 mile border in Texas. And of course, nothing at all in New Mexico, Arizona, California.
Starting point is 00:15:23 So two and a half miles out of a 2,000 mile border. And so it really is, in a sense, a show. And so the mainstream media has decided that they weren't going to cover that show until they could put their own spin on it. The New York Times ignored it completely. Says Jeffrey Tucker. Wall Street Journal did the same. Nothing on MSNBC, nothing on NPR. CNN just ran a report lately bizarrely rendering the whole dispute as a struggle
Starting point is 00:15:53 over whether the federal government can save children from drowning. What is that about? Well, by saying they blocked off that park there in Eagles Pass. And because of that, some people tried to cross in other areas where it was deep in a child drown. So because they blocked off a two mile area here and, you know, the people have got, um, you know, uh, 1998 other miles of places where they can cross.
Starting point is 00:16:21 And some of those are dangerous. Uh, so therefore, um, it's their fault. A week after the crisis began, Business Insider and Vox started reporting with a strong, determined slant against Texas. And finally, Wired Magazine, with a headline straight out of Orwell, quote, far-right extremists
Starting point is 00:16:42 are organizing an armed convoy to the texas border yeah by the way before he gets to that he talks about the importance of this one of the things that jeffrey tucker was fixated on and a lot of conservatives are fixated on is the idea that uh foreign citizens can come here illegally and register to vote. That must be what it is. No, it's the economics. It's the Tower of Babel chaos that they want. A clash of languages, cultures. They want chaos because if we're fighting each other, we can't fight them.
Starting point is 00:17:18 And it is necessary for them to destroy indigenous cultures, destroy borders and everything else so that they can have their way. If there is a culture at all, and really it's kind of overkill. We have voluntarily abandoned our culture for the most part. Very few people in our country have a close tie to a particular geographical area, uh, because we're so mobile, uh, it's, it's very rare for somebody to be in an area that, um, uh, they, uh, their,
Starting point is 00:17:55 their family goes back to for several generations. Uh, most of the time we're so mobile, you don't have to be in the military to be living all over the place. I've hopped around all over the country, even though my family goes back many generations to the state of Florida. But now I no longer really identify with that. I've lost contact with most of my relatives who most of them are not alive anymore. But, you know, so you wind up in that type of situation and make it even worse. Most families have divorce of some sort. So there's not even a nuclear family that they talk about,
Starting point is 00:18:27 but you don't have the extended family. You don't have the connection to an area. You know, when I, I met a Senator nicely, he told me that, um, he said,
Starting point is 00:18:35 uh, my family's been here in Tennessee going back to before the revolutionary war. So this is one of the reasons why he's not interested in getting a quote-unquote higher office, going to Washington. He's not climbing the political ladder. He's looking to see what he can fix in Tennessee. And we don't have that mindset with most people, right? That's really what's going to be necessary for us to defend this. And that's what they don't want to have.
Starting point is 00:19:04 And so we've already kind of done it to ourselves, the world that we live in, chasing jobs from one place to the other that we do. But they're going to completely destroy any of that identification with place. And so that's far more important than the voting thing. Yes, they want to bring in people from foreign countries and give them the ability to vote and they will vote for free stuff, most likely. But do they really need to have people from foreign countries to rig the election?
Starting point is 00:19:38 Didn't we just have these most of these conservatives who were really freaking out about that are telling us that the election was rigged with machines they're telling us the election was rigged with mail-out ballots and all the rest of stuff and quite frankly it's a lot worse than that if you take a look at this time around they're not even talking about really having a presidential election you know the rnc just did pull back and say well all right we're not going to do a coronation of trump and perhaps what they realize because when i at it, if they're going to cancel all the primaries, there's only been two voting, two states have voted and they're going to cancel the rest of the 48 in the Republican party.
Starting point is 00:20:15 Democrats are no better. They don't want anybody else on the ballot in Florida. They don't want to have any debates. Neither party wants to have debates. Neither candidate who's been anointed wants to have any debates. Neither party wants to have debates. Neither candidate who's been anointed wants to have any debates. But I think if they cancel the primaries, you may not have what happens to all the other races.
Starting point is 00:20:33 Because there's a lot of different offices in the Republican Party that would be their primaries. Even state offices, in many cases. So they pull back from that insanity. But the very fact that they're talking about this shows the fact that they're only focused on Trump and they're only focused on the presidency.
Starting point is 00:20:52 So if this is something that would redirect their focus from a more centralized solution, which is not a solution, uh, that would be a good thing. But, um, anyway, he says, so when I look at this and I look at how would be a good thing but um anyway he says so when i look at this i look at how this is a good example of how the narrative is controlled he said it's impossible to prove
Starting point is 00:21:15 but it looks like for all the world that there is some order that came down from somewhere that said don't report on this and when the reports started to come in about the Texas border issue, there were wildly distorted and slanted to favor overriding Texas's right to defend itself. So why would the major curators and caretakers of the public mind decide to bury this news? Ask Jeffrey Tucker. He said, you know, I had read herman and chomp keys manufacturing consent
Starting point is 00:21:48 after it came out in 1988 he said my takeaway then was that the hive mind of media the way careerism and institutionalism uh prompts to uh fit and to draw in editors and reporters towards the narratives that they all really know that it's happening there. It caused what we call the news to be channeled into paths that are approved by the regime. And this is true. You know, when I,
Starting point is 00:22:15 when, um, Megan Kelly came to InfoWars and her, her, um, her people wanted to interview us. I said, so,
Starting point is 00:22:24 you know, they were doing a report on Alex and Infowars. So I said, how do you come up with the news? You have a meeting every morning and you have the editors decide what's going to be covered, decide the angles or whatever they're going to be covered. I said, no, we don't do that. We pretty much decide on our own. They just couldn't believe that. It's very, very structured.
Starting point is 00:22:46 It's not even a hive mind. A hive mind is what you typically see in a loosely structured alternative media like Infowars. Everybody knew what Alex wanted. And you understand that if he's pushing Trump and you do stories critical of Trump, you're going to be pushed to the back, if not pushed out the door eventually. So, you know, you all understand that. Everybody knows that. And so it doesn't have to be some kind of a meeting where everybody talks about
Starting point is 00:23:22 what we're going to cover. But they do have that in mainstream media. That's what they would do at Fox News and what they would do at, what was she working at the time? ABC, NBC? I don't remember. But he said, even with this book in hand, Manufacturing Consent, I didn't understand this to be a deliberate culture planning, but rather a trajectory that was set in motion
Starting point is 00:23:42 by the unwillingness to think outside of the box in a fundamental way. And he said, and this is what rattled me about our times. The discovery that it is, in fact, deliberate culture planning. That the manufacturing of consent is not spontaneous, but rather has a manufacturer, a real engineer working behind the scenes. In other words, Jeffrey Tucker and a lot of academics and conservative academics, especially when all the censorship really kicked off with outright banning, you know, of Infowars in early August of 2018. And then two months later, the DNC gave a list, you know,
Starting point is 00:24:22 through their surrogate, oh, so me at the University of Indiana and a couple of others. They said, well, here are dangerous disinformation people that you need to get rid of on social media. And they had a list. They had 800 alternative media sites that got banned, things like the Free Thought Project and stuff like that, which were typically, Free Thought Project had them on when that happened. They were not pro-Trump.
Starting point is 00:24:48 They were anti-police state, anti-war. So they were against the military industrial complex. They were against the intelligence agencies that spy on us, that assassinate people, that create coups and start wars. They were against all of that. And so they were 800 of them. And they didn't get much attention at all. As a matter of fact, the purging of Infowars got zero attention from Trump. And he did nothing about it.
Starting point is 00:25:16 Republicans neither. And you had all these people in Heritage Foundation, biggest conservative think tank, Cato Institute, the biggest libertarian think tank. These people in academia just couldn't believe that this was a conspiracy. Really? It goes to show how effective the narrative was on them. On them. The FBI weaponized that term, conspiracy theory,
Starting point is 00:25:40 to shut down any ideas about JFK assassination. And it became such a pejorative that people, anything, but don't give me that label. I'll, you know, I'll say anything. I'll make any excuse for what's happening, but I don't want to call it a conspiracy. And yet there's hardly ever a situation where somebody's charged the crime in this country that the government doesn't have the charge of conspiracy. Okay. So, you know, you, uh, the two of you jaywalked across the road and so we're
Starting point is 00:26:07 going to get you both for jaywalking and conspiracy to jaywalk you both did it at the same time so look at what they did with january 6 a lot of these people got charged with you know doing x and then a conspiracy to do x. And so conspiracy is all over the place. And of course, we knew that it was being directed because of things like, you know, back in 2013, I do a piece that's critical of the Federal
Starting point is 00:26:36 Reserve. And they shut it down on YouTube. You know, and then shadow banning and then the outright banning in 2018. then since then we've had uh debanking from paypal and venmo and um truvia or whatever truly or something like any whole bunch of them you know and um and so and interestingly enough over the weekend these useful idiots at Saturday Night Live
Starting point is 00:27:05 who like to stick their toe in the political area and talk about things they have no understanding of. Trump threw out the term debank, just like he's thrown out the term CBDC. Does he know what it's about? Is he really opposed to it? Don't know, but he mentioned debanking. And so they did their little fake news broadcasting or something.
Starting point is 00:27:32 I didn't see it, but I saw the articles about it. And you've got this little puppet. They're not even funny. And he gets out there and he starts laughing. Debank? Is that a word? Where do you hear this? Trump came up with this term called D-Bank?
Starting point is 00:27:50 They don't know what's been happening? Everywhere? Here? The UK? All the discussions about this? Are they really that stupid? I don't think they are. I think their audience is.
Starting point is 00:28:00 The actors may be stupid. I don't think the writers are that stupid. I don't think the Saturday night live show is that disconnected from information, but perhaps they are. Maybe they live in this little bubble of mainstream media that never talks about that. Never talks about the 10th amendment or nullification. All they see is, Oh, there's a bunch of crazy wacko, a white guy extremists that are going to the border. Boy, this is going to be bad. You know, they're looking for some heads to bang there. Bunch of racists.
Starting point is 00:28:30 That's all they see. So he says, we're talking about something that's more sinister than bias, something that's more than the incompetence of this venue or that. It looks highly coordinated, and this unfolds even as we gain ever more information thanks to FOIAs and court discovery, that federal agencies have been involving themselves in the management of news for many, many years. Operation Mockingbird was a thing. Walter Cronkite said, and that's the way it is.
Starting point is 00:28:59 That's the way the CIA wanted it to be. That's what the CIA wanted you to be. That's what they wanted. That's what the CIA wanted you to hear. They were all giving you their little 30 minutes minus a bunch of commercial news encapsulation at the end of the evening and the three different networks. And there was only three covered the same topics and had the same opinion and same angle about every one of those topics. It was all coordinated and centralized. So he says Elon Musk confirmed it, stating that however bad you think it is,
Starting point is 00:29:30 the reality is even worse. When many of us became aware of this was during the COVID crisis. You see, a lot of times we go through difficult things in life and it's for our education and for our edification. And so we had this lockdown, this medical martial law.
Starting point is 00:29:50 I think it woke a lot of people up to the phony schools, what's really going on in their school classrooms. I said many times people couldn't believe what's actually going on in their child's classroom. It woke people up to the corruption of medical crisis. It woke people up to the, especially to the news. And as he points out, the news is really crashing. LA Times, all these big things are circling the drain financially. They'll be bailed out by government. They'll be bailed out by some billionaires who would like to use them to push their agenda right
Starting point is 00:30:26 just like jeff bezos bought the washington post for only 250 million dollars that's that's a chump change to him again you can probably find that in the sofa uh it was equivalent to you know uh about three and a half days worth of work for him at the time that he bought it. And I even said that. So I said, so assuming that median family income is about $50,000, you know, would you buy the Washington Post for a couple hundred dollars or something, you know? And what it did was it gave him a big voice and a way to lobby, just like Musk is willing to pay tens of billions of dollars for Twitter because it's so much more than the old media. Again, what he's looking at is the hive mind.
Starting point is 00:31:17 He's looking at what it tells him about public opinion, how he can manipulate public opinion. That's the reason social media is there. That's the reason that the intelligence agencies started funding these venture capital firms and created these things was so that they could not only use them as propaganda, but they could precisely get feedback as to how it was being accepted. You think Elon Musk doesn't want that? Elon Musk is a guy who became the world's richest man by his connections to government and selling them
Starting point is 00:31:45 things and he's got some really crazy stuff like this neural link stuff that's out there he wants to know how people view this stuff so he can navigate that uh so yeah it's um the covid crisis a lot of people went through a lot of things. A lot of people saw fake schools, fake churches. They saw people who were just overwhelmed with fear, and they would do the most insane things, like putting a mask on their face or something, a cloth mask. People who would grovel before authority. It was a very important time, and so people saw the fake news.
Starting point is 00:32:27 Some of us saw how fake Trump is. Most people miss that. We're still trying to get people to see that, you know, they can see the mask, they can see the poison, but they can't see the guy behind all of it. They can't make that connection or won't make it because the conservative media is controlling their minds it appeared as if every expert agreed with the policies that were wrecking business life and society in general while holding out no chance of finally ending the virus and we knew it was fake then the floods of reality hit the emails the edicts coming directly from these people, from these government agencies to block the information, and then to hit particular accounts and to punish people,
Starting point is 00:33:12 to destroy their careers, to take down their social media accounts. So many of us didn't know that this sort of thing could happen in the United States because, you know, we've got a First Amendment. Well, guess what? China's got a great constitution as well when it talks about human rights. They don't care. It's just a piece of paper. As George W. Bush is rumored to have said, that constitution is just a blank piece of paper. Not blank, but it's not profanity there.
Starting point is 00:33:38 So he said mainstream media is now facing waves of layoffs in response to this because people understand it is a captured news media. Everyone sees it now, and the market is responding. And it is very much like it was in Russia. Even in that controlled society, they had two newspapers, Izvestia and Pravda. Izvestia meant news, Pravda meant truth. They said there is no news in Izvestia, there's no truth in Pravda. They weren't fooled by this.
Starting point is 00:34:09 And so he says, we're approaching the point that the moniker mainstream news no longer really applies. It'd be better to call it, he says, regime news. And that's really what it has become. And so what are they choosing to focus on? And I wanted to bring this up again because after pretty much ignoring the uh the issue of republican governor versus a supreme court decision you know federalization where are the lines drawn with the 10th amendment
Starting point is 00:34:38 uh and all these other issues and of course the border itself. After ignoring that. Then the mainstream media is now talking about feds erection. The term looms large as the army of God protest convoy heads to the border. This is coming from Vice. And as we said last week. Let's not take the focus away from the real issue. The border. But even what Abbott is doing. Is really taking the issue. The focus away from the real issue, the border. But even what Abbott is doing is really taking the issue,
Starting point is 00:35:07 the focus away from the real issue, which is the border. If he's concerned about people coming across in massive numbers with caravans, focusing on this little two and a half mile area, as you could argue that it's about the principle, but we've seen Greg Abbott do a lot of virtue signaling showmanship in the past uh so it's just a few dozen participants in this convoy so far says vice they had promised that they would have 700 000 people well they don't know any of that right let's get 700 000 people to go to the border they've had a couple of dozen and it's mostly men over the age of 60s, over the age of 60.
Starting point is 00:35:48 Vice says the low numbers could be due in part to conspiracy theories that would-be participants are expressing fears that the demonstration could be a psyop or a honeypot spearheaded by the federal government undercover agents with a goal of ensnaring right-wingers into a violent event, which is exactly what I said. You know, vice and mainstream media will focus on this little army of God that has a few dozen participants,
Starting point is 00:36:21 and they think that's a threat. Meanwhile, tens of thousands of people, hundreds of thousands a month, coming across the border in caravans of several thousand at a time, that's not a problem, not a problem. The problem is those couple of dozen people going to the border, that's what they want to focus on. But again, I don't think that this is a smart way to do it. And I don't think it's a smart way. It's not going to fix the problem. There's nothing that
Starting point is 00:36:52 they can really do. There's only downside potential in this, as you see with this article. Look at the way they portray it. One person says, I have three former associates doing lengthy prison sentences because of the J6 setup, said one person. I know firsthand that even if they don't have any charges they can pin on you, they'll make something up. That's right. One of the organizers, a former military commander, Pete Chambers, who says he was a Green Beret, put out a video message in which he appears to directly appeal to those supposed undercover federal agents. He says, quote, if you start going after these people trying to trap them, you're going to be found out. He said, there's too much momentum on the other side, bro.
Starting point is 00:37:33 So just let it go. Stop working for that entity. They're just going to tear you down. They're going to use you like a Kleenex, just like they did to me. So the problem is that this thing is bad. It's bad if it gets big. It's bad if it peters out. It was a bad, bad idea.
Starting point is 00:37:54 And I'm sorry to see this thing going because if it peters out, everybody says, see, they don't care. Nobody cares about it. To make that a stake there. But the good news is that even the left now, Politico is saying, a lot of people aren't going to that even the left now politico is saying a lot of people aren't going to participate in this because they believe that it is a trap the
Starting point is 00:38:10 escalating standoff has inspired civil war fantasies of feds versus states showdown organizers of the convoy who include q anon world influencers and anti-vaxxers characterize the demonstration as an army of god and have spent the last couple of days putting out PR fires, trying to distance themselves from possible future unrest or bad optics. And see, that's the problem. Nothing is going to come out of this except unrest or bad optics. And the fact that they brought God into it, the fact they started talking about it as an army, said, well, we've got to have active or retired law enforcement officers
Starting point is 00:38:49 and we need retired military. Organizers also trying to swage fears that the convoy is a false flag or a PSYOP. One of the organizers also waved off concerns about entrapment. He said, when J6 happened, that's D.C. It has nothing to do with the U.S. It's its own continent. We're in our country, not a foreign territory.
Starting point is 00:39:09 Well, I believe that D.C. is a foreign country, as I've said before. But that doesn't mean that they don't operate in our country. They got spies everywhere, that foreign country in Washington, D.C. Others are suggesting people avoid the convoy altogether. One YouTube channel that's run by a trucking husband and wife, it's got about 100,000 subscribers, they said, you're being set up? You're advertising every move you're making to the people
Starting point is 00:39:35 who want to know the most? The guy's husband's name, he goes by Red Viking. He says, there is no 1776 happening here. Put that out of your mind. Yes. He also raised suspicions about the organizer, Pete Chambers, because he said, Green Berets are masters of psyops. And that's absolutely true as well. Years ago, when we were talking about asymmetric warfare, about the different centers that have been set up by the U.S S military and army base and a Marine base and places like that. Um, you know, like the one at AP Hill,
Starting point is 00:40:09 uh, McRaven was head of Admiral McRaven was head of special forces. And he said, we're going to, you know, the, the public has this idea of, um, special forces and Navy seals and everything as being all this kinetic stuff, right? They're jumping out of planes and they're, you know, doing sabotage work and things like that. But he said, no, for the most part, what we did was PSYOPs. And for the most part, what they did was stuff like Jade Helm, which was a PSYOP, which was to see where people are going to come down. You know, he said, we typically would go into a country with green braids
Starting point is 00:40:46 and we try to identify who's going to be our allies, who's going to be our opponents. That type of psyop. You know, when we were there at the Bundy Ranch, it's kind of interesting. All week I was there leading up to that Saturday when the standoff happened. All week we couldn't get any internet service on our phones.
Starting point is 00:41:07 We'd have to go up to the Bundys who had like a wired connection and get on their Wi-Fi to file stuff. Couldn't do anything at all at the site. And then somehow, magically, even though there were hundreds of people there that day that had not been there before, somehow, magically magically everybody's phone was working on that Saturday. They throttle it down, then they bring it up so they can get everybody's IDs and all the rest of the stuff. This is the way these people operate. Anyway, it says even Charlie Kirk is warning people to stay away from this.
Starting point is 00:41:45 Another person said, look, this is all a trap. Trump never asked for people to go to the border, but he did instigate January the 6th, right? They still can't. They can't even connect Trump with the betrayal of January the 6th. It was right there in their face. But guess who is pushing this? Tucker Carlson. Tucker Carlson did an interview with the lead trucker January the 6th. It was right there in their face. But guess who is pushing this? Tucker Carlson. Tucker Carlson did an interview with the lead trucker in the convoy.
Starting point is 00:42:10 He's pushing this. Just like Tucker Carson and Alex Jones and a lot of other people pushed January the 6th. Hence the Ray Epps thing. The Ray Epps red herring. Look, regardless, it's not important even whether Ray Epps is a Fed or not. That's not even important. What is important is that Darren Beattie is using him to get everybody focused on Ray Epps. So they don't get angry about the fact that Alex Jones, Donald Trump, all all these stop the steel save the u.s and people
Starting point is 00:42:45 like tucker carlson told everybody let's go to january the 6th we're going to fix it tucker carlson's doing the same thing now with a trucker convoy same thing never ends maybe they'll find another reps to blame it on right if it all goes sideways people didn't go to January the 6th because of Ray Epps. Okay. It's just that simple. No matter what happened, they didn't go there for Ray Epps. Ray Epps is the distraction. Abbott.
Starting point is 00:43:17 Meanwhile, as you have the hill reports it as Abbott is encouraging criminal white extremists to come to the border says a latino rights group well which latino rights group is this is this uh la raza you know the race everything for the race everything about the race which race is that they play the extremist card has the hill ever done anything about la raza well it's not la raza it's something called the League of United Latin American Citizens. And it's one person. He says, this rhetoric could incite violent bigots.
Starting point is 00:43:53 Well, of course, we can all play what ifs with every kind of scenario. The Washington Post is saying now Republicans say it's okay to ignore the Supreme Court. And this is the lawlessness of Trump is the way that the Washington Post puts it. They quote Chip Roy. They quote the Oklahoma governor, Kevin Stitt. I quoted him yesterday, both of them, talking about how well the Supreme Court says you can't defend yourself. Will you really not defend yourself? And of course, this issue is really the issue, not of states' rights, of states' powers that are retained, that are not delegated to the federal government, as the Tenth Amendment says. And so some people get this.
Starting point is 00:44:39 Noel sent this article from The Good Citizen, the civil war psyop talking about the movie. I like the comment at the beginning. So the civil war programming is already underway. I didn't have it on my agenda 2030 calendar until 2027, but that's what they're trying to push. And he says, you know, there was a COVID psyop that was playing out in full force in 2022. Where were these people as they watched
Starting point is 00:45:06 seniors being murdered in nursing homes, as they saw other people slaughtered in hospitals with remdesivir and ventilators, people in prison, humiliation masks on our faces, orders being barked at us everywhere by these people. Where were they when all of this type of stuff was happening? Did they do anything at all? Nah. No, not at all. It was the invasion of the body snatchers all over, wasn't it?
Starting point is 00:45:37 Not your choice, not your body. You know, all of these women who said, well, my choice, my body. Well, what happens when it's not your choice what happened when's a hive tells you what you must do is what you hear in the background if you're listening to the audio podcast is uh the scene from invasion of body snatchers last scene where the last guy has been taken over and uh points the finger at her he's been taken over for all those celebrating greg abbott putting up some razor wire in a few stretches of a 1200 mile border don't be fooled governor hot
Starting point is 00:46:13 wheels did nothing for years on the contrary he bust illegals into the interior of the nation by tens of thousands for the past five years now he's luring americans into the Civil War psyop. Think about it. And that's exactly right. As I said, he's done one virtue signaling stunt after the other. Bussing people into the interior is actually counterproductive. It's counterproductive for the country. It's even counterproductive for Texas, as I said. Go there. He said it is something we need to understand now his concern is the fact that um the military has just eliminated even the ged requirement for people to sign up in the military
Starting point is 00:46:56 so he says uh so we got people from all over the world come here to fight for a passport and a citizenship and um if civil war does break out, these illegals are going to be the ones perhaps that you're going to be fighting. The illegals will be called the true Americans in search of the American dream. And I've talked about this for the longest time when they came up with a dreamer idea.
Starting point is 00:47:18 Oh, these people are coming. They're coming with a dream. And it's like, okay, DACA, the dreamers, these are young people coming here
Starting point is 00:47:26 to get a free education that's their dream to get a free education who's paying for the free education we are we're property taxes because the schools are supported for the most part by local property taxes which means that you won't be able to afford as big a home or a home at all because of the property taxes so they're destroying the American dream for the foreign dream. You understand the dreamers. And that has been the case for the longest time, certainly in Texas. I mean, they're building one school after the other schools. It was very, it was just amazing how they were exploding the number of schools.
Starting point is 00:48:05 And it was amazing how high the taxes there were as well. Well, I want to take a quick break and we're going to come back. But before we go, there is one other aspect of immigration that you should think about as typified in, I think it's aapolis where they have the massive somalian community that is there many people call it little mogadishu where they brought them in
Starting point is 00:48:35 they brought a massive number of people from somalia in and they've got their own culture their own language and their own congresswoman and here she is bragging to them about how she puts Somalia first, Islam second. She doesn't even mention where America falls. I think Marxism is third place in her worldview. America doesn't even figure into it. This is her speaking in their native language. So I'll try to translate what she's saying here. My answer to Somalians was that the U.S. government will only do what Somalians in the U.S. tell them to do.
Starting point is 00:49:13 They're going to direct the U.S. government. They will do what we want, nothing else. They must follow our orders. We Somalians must have that confidence in ourselves. We live in the U.S. We pay taxes in the U.S. We have a real voice. The U.S. is a country where one of your daughters myself is in congress and so forth and so then she starts talking about their petty issues you know they got a dispute there between one area
Starting point is 00:49:36 and um in somalia and ethiopia and so you care about that issue i care about that issue and we're going to bring the u.S. government to heel. So the U.S. government will only do what Somalians in the U.S. tell them to do. They will do what we want and nothing else. They must follow our orders. That is how we will safeguard the interests of Somalia. We Somalians must have the confidence in ourselves that we call the shots in the U S she says,
Starting point is 00:50:07 the woman myself, you sent to Congress is working day and night to protect your interests. She knows your plight and that of Somalia. I am as concerned about Somalia as you guys are together. We will protect the interests of Somalia. She went on to say that, and see, this is a much bigger threat than the guy who comes to the border and says, you don't know who I am? You're going to find out who I am. This is, I think, a bigger threat to create massive communities of enclaves of foreigners who see that they can not only not assimilate they don't like america
Starting point is 00:50:49 they want to use america for their political agenda they're not just coming here for free stuff they're coming here to co-opt america to take out their petty program of vengeance or war or whatever in the area that they came from she said said she's Somalian first, she's Muslim second. As I said, maybe Marxist third, because she's also a Marxist. Her father was a member of a Marxist party, which means that he lied in order to get into the United States. He would not be eligible to immigrate. Is she an American at all?
Starting point is 00:51:22 Doesn't mention that. You know, we have a lot of people who are Somalia first, Palestine first, Israel first. As a matter of fact, we've got hundreds of congressmen who put America's interests behind Israel. But we've got a lot of people, you know, Rashida Tlaib and all these, you know, winning. It's all right, you know, I'm here to represent Palestine in the U.S. Congress. It's all right, Palestine and Somalia shouldn't have representation in the U.S. Congress. No foreign country should. Trump said, well, Israel used to own Congress.
Starting point is 00:51:52 And rightfully so, he said. Really? Is that right? A report from Newsweek cited her social media statement in which it said, as Somalis, one day we will go after our missing territories. These are the people who get us drawn up in their wars. These are the people who loot our treasury. These are the people who don't have our interests at heart.
Starting point is 00:52:16 And the globalists want more of that. They want America at war with itself. They want us balkanized with different special interest groups that don't know or care about America. They don't have the common interest at heart. And that fundamentally, folks, is about what this border situation is about. Somaliland is this area that's there with Ethiopia. And again, she wants to draw the U.S. into that conflict. She says she's in Congress to represent Somali Americans' interests. You know, we've even had Ron DeSantis put in a hated hate speech law.
Starting point is 00:53:00 That has no place in our society with the First Amendment. No hate speech law anywhere. And he goes to a foreign country, Israel, to sign it. This is everywhere. As I've said before, you know, and it's not just the people who are allied with foreign countries who are in Congress, who are in Washington. Everything in Washington is allied together for a world government. And the people in Washington understand that America must be destroyed in order to have a world government. And the people in Washington understand that America must be destroyed in order to have a world government. And so the policy, whether these people's loyalties lie to a foreign country or whether it's just animosity to destroy what is in America, they must destroy
Starting point is 00:53:38 America. That is the purpose of the federal government. And it is the worst kind of delusion to think that you are going to elect a president or even a Congress that is going to push back against that. So she has likened Israel and the U.S. to terrorists and demanded during COVID the cancellation of rent and mortgage payments, says WND. But you know what? Trump already did that. He did that. He had the CDC override all of these different issues. So some details are starting to come out of this Senate bill, according to Newt Gingrich and his column. And he says, first of all, the limits that they put there, 150,000 illegal immigrants to come into the country per month.
Starting point is 00:54:33 And actually, this is Newt Gingrich's column, but it's what Mike Johnson put out. He said, here's what they want you to support. He said, 150,000 illegal immigrants coming in the country uninhibited per month. He says that's nearly the entire population of my Louisiana hometown. That's 1.8 million people a year. 1.8 million people a year they want to bring in. And we get no say about it. Well, you know, again, he says, and they want you to pay, uh,
Starting point is 00:55:05 for their legal fees. They, they want you to pay for welfare. If they want to be on welfare, he says, my answer is no, absolutely not. And it's interesting because,
Starting point is 00:55:15 um, new Gingrich talks about this and talks about how 77% of Americans reject non-citizen voting and all the rest of this stuff. He starts to get back on the voting thing. Um, but the interesting thing is that newt gingrich as speaker of the house prior never did anything about any of these issues it's gotten bigger but you know here's the other thing about it um only 14 of people in the u.s according to the Trafalgar Group poll, favor amnesty and citizenship for people who came here illegally. And guess what? Amongst Hispanics, it's not 14%. It's 3%.
Starting point is 00:55:54 They don't like it either. This is not a race thing. This is not about different people groups. Because look, a lot of the people who are coming in now are not even Hispanic. They're coming from Somalia or they're coming from other places in Africa or other developing countries. It's not just coming from Central and South America either. So as they do all this, they're now releasing the impeachment articles against Mayorkas. And they've got the things listed here. I'm not going to go over them because it really doesn't matter.
Starting point is 00:56:27 I could give you millions of reasons for Mayorkas to be impeached, but we don't even know their names, do we? That's all they need. It's just that right there. And yet, you know that nothing is going to, nothing is going to come of this. The Senate will not impeach him and throw him out. They don't have the votes for it in the Senate. It's a majority of Democrats.
Starting point is 00:56:53 So this is a waste of time, folks. And just like this little show at the border, this is also a show um by the way i guess you know all of washington is just entertainment yeah it's just a tap dance so they're gonna tap dance here with this impeachment thing and you're gonna see jim jordan speaker johnson they'll all talk about how much they hate what's going on on the border and send all this stuff and waste all this time when they could be addressing real existential problems, including even the problem of the border, but they're not going to do that. And then nothing will come of it because it's an election year.
Starting point is 00:57:39 We're going to take a break. We'll be right back. If you like the Eagles, the cars, and Huey Lewis and the news, they say the hotter rock and roll is competing. You'll love the Classic Hits channel at APS Radio. Download our app or listen now at APSradio.com. ¶¶ Thank you. you're listening to the david knight show let's talk a little bit about uh big pharma and the issues around that we have um several more people dropping dead a ninth grader 14 years old drop dead playing ball and the uk this story sarah healy 39 collapses and dies in front of
Starting point is 00:59:13 her three kids while giving a eulogy at her 81 year old father-in-law's funeral 39 years old and a nurse so we know she was vaccinated uh it was talking at the giving the eulogy went into cardiac arrest suddenly fell to the ground uh her um father-in-law 81 years old had died of cancer but again she died of the jab uh they said she had no history of any heart problems uh seemed to be perfectly healthy same thing we hear over and over again, isn't it? And yet, nothing will be done about it. And the mainstream media will report it, and yet they will not talk about the guy who did this,
Starting point is 00:59:56 who created the poison. This is an update from Handy. It came out last week. I didn't get to this. He says, so what is happening here at EMS? He's in Georgia. He says, we're still in this new normal where younger and younger patients are experiencing new onset of chronic illnesses, similar to what the DMEDS database was showing.
Starting point is 01:00:16 That's the one from the Department of Defense. They showed hundreds of percent increase across the board issues. Some of the things, several thousand percent increase. It showed hundreds of percent increases across the board issues, some things several thousand percent increase. It was so devastating that the Defense Department went back in and changed the data for the previous five years. This is database, which is part of their readiness. They have to know if they are under attack or if there is something that is going to you know immobilize the the troops so
Starting point is 01:00:47 they're very careful about it it is far more detailed than even bears is because bears they put all kinds of obstacles in people's ways to to keep the vaccine issues from being reported and only about one percent of them are reported. And they got even more restrictive under COVID, but this DMEDS database was showing it all. And so Handy says, if you want my opinion, the real pandemic is the excess death rates. He says, I've been to hospitals in four different hospital systems this month.
Starting point is 01:01:18 Of those four major hospital systems, the only one showing any sign of mask hysteria is Emory. Today, the same nurse who had me escorted from the building was in a tizzy over me daring to bear my bare face again she said everyone has covid and ems just keeps bringing them in without any masks she said from behind her double masks luckily she was muffled so much that she was only able to make a small scene i would also estimate that 70 to 75 percent of hospital staff were either unmasked or chin masked because everybody knows this isn't about anything medical it's all political are you going to
Starting point is 01:02:01 comply are you going to submit well i got the mask you going to submit? Well, I got the mask on. It's under my nose, but I got the mask on. I did that number to a security guard who wouldn't let me in the bank at one point. I said, you don't believe this stuff either. You don't even have your mask on your nose. And he looks around and he proves it over his nose. It's like I said, see, it's just about submission, isn't it? I tell you, it's the Nuremberg trial all over again. You know, these people know know better but they comply anyway they go along with evil orders instead of standing
Starting point is 01:02:31 against them i'll never understand that i will never understand that so i just gave her my best smile and took a deep breath of cool fresh air as she stomped away as amusing as all this was i couldn't help but notice that COVID is still being heavily used. I heard more than one patient learn that they have quote-unquote COVID while we were waiting for a room. I suppose they tested positive. Again, this is on Handy's sub stack. Handy, you need to find out if they're still giving them that bonus for identifying people as COVID patients. That 20% bonus that Trump started.
Starting point is 01:03:11 If they got a 20% bonus on everything, on everything, maybe I could find out if that is still happening. I should look. I hadn't thought about that. Harvard cancer researchers are accused of faking their findings. Imagine this. At Harvard, of all places. When the president was just dismissed for plagiarism. The alleged fabrications were discovered by British molecular biologist
Starting point is 01:03:34 and data sleuth Sholto David, who compiled them in a blog post earlier this month. He found that images in the papers were stretched, spliced, or outright copied and pasted in order to falsify test results. So first plagiarism out of Harvard and now photoshopping of data by people doing medical research. He should have just followed the plan of Michael Mann, who created the hockey stick for Al Gore and said,
Starting point is 01:04:04 I'm not going to show you my data. I'm not going to show it to you. We fought him in court. He won in court. He didn't have to show his data. These people put their data out there, and this one guy says, yeah, you've just copied this, or you falsified, you Photoshopped this to get the kind of results that you want.
Starting point is 01:04:23 It reminds me of Ernst Haeckel, Darwin's bulldog. For the longest time, I remember Carl Sagan. He was also a bulldog for Darwin and for evolution. And Carl Sagan used to go on Johnny Carson and talk about billions and billions of years. And he would also, many times many times you know he would tell johnny carson who was just like wow i'm so impressed uh with uh what you just said it's a ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny wow you're think you're capable of thinking deep thoughts aren't you no he's just regurgitating a bunch of nonsense put out there by a guy in the 1800s as Charles Darwin was putting out his theory of evolution.
Starting point is 01:05:09 Total nonsense. We went to the British Museum and I showed the boys. I said, look at this. This is his tools. They showed his office and he's got like a magnifying glass. I said, you got a better magnifying glass than he had. He doesn't have a microscope. He doesn't have anything.
Starting point is 01:05:26 He's not doing science. He's a philosophy. He's a philosopher. He's not a scientist. And so it's no wonder that he thought spontaneous generation was occurring in stagnant water. Because he couldn't see, you know, until it got big enough that it was as naked. It was invisible to him until the colonies got large enough of bacteria then he could see that in the stagnant water so it's just a spontaneous
Starting point is 01:05:51 generation it's life just coming out of the water that must be how life began so anyway ernst teckel was going to help him out. And so Ernst Teckel did a series of drawings about a developing baby. And he said, you know, look at this. This is what the developing embryos of other animals look like. And this is what humans look like. And notice how they're all alike until they get to a certain stage. And then the humans go in a different direction. But he says this development, this ontogeny is recapitulating the phylogeny, the different categories of animals.
Starting point is 01:06:30 So your human being is going through a fish stage and then it's going through another stage and then it finally becomes human and that type of thing. People finally looked with cameras and ultrasound and many other things. But, you know, it was known for a very long time that Ernst Haeckel's drawings were absolute garbage. And yet, even though that had been completely debunked in the early part of the 20th century, you still had people in the 1960s and 70s, like Carl Sagan, going on the most popular talk show still pushing this idea and it was still in the science books and this is what we have here this is this is the state of so-called science and so we saw a lot of the clothes we saw these naked emperors uh during the covid thing and now this is um this is what's happening in one instance a photograph of four lab mice taken on the first day of a research project was seemingly copied and presented as a photo
Starting point is 01:07:31 from the 16th day of the project in an apparent effort to falsely claim that a particular treatment had halted the progress of tumors isn't this what the climate scientists do don't they pick, Jerry picked their start dates and all the rest of the stuff and, and, you know, play with the data points. It's all,
Starting point is 01:07:50 it's, it's the MacGuffin. You see it over and over again, uh, on Rockfin, Jason Barker. When someone addresses me wearing a mask, I just keep saying what? That's good.
Starting point is 01:08:00 That's good. Well, I usually do that because I can't hear him either. I, I'm not doing that as a uh as a uh strategy to to make it difficult for them uh audi modern retro radio good to see you as well i love johnny carson but man he interviewed a lot of agenda peddlers oh yes he did it's one of the reasons why he had such a popular show can you imagine if he said to people uh i'm not gonna
Starting point is 01:08:24 have that guy on i know what would happen he got fired like i got fired i told uh told alex i said you're not gonna come on here and push that stolen election garbage here and i'm not gonna interview that guy or that guy so you know if you don't tell the line that's what happens with it um and another one they allegedly fake the results of multiple Western blot tests used to detect specific proteins associated with cancer. We see this all the time. Billions and billions of dollars. There you go. Just like Carl Sagan.
Starting point is 01:08:53 Billions and, Johnny, billions of dollars were burned in this cancerous trash science. But it made many academic careers. Some people got very rich. Entire dynasties established themselves at Dana-Farber. That's what happens with health science. It's what happens with the climate science. And it's what happens with all of this stuff. And yet, what they're really freaked out about is, again, the twerp of fake news, said Tedros.
Starting point is 01:09:22 Because he couldn't get things through with his treaty. As a matter of fact, as he is screaming about fake news, the interesting thing about it is James Roguski said, you know, this whole thing has really taken a nosedive. And by the way, on his Substack post, james rudikowski's sub stack post we're talking about masks look at this that's the u.s representative nobody else in there is wearing a mask but the u.s representative is and she's got her sign stacked vertically everybody else has got theirs horizontally what is going on do we have the dumbest people in the world representing us? But while all of that is happening, he said, and they're very upset about not getting their way. He said there was no mention of any of the following facts.
Starting point is 01:10:18 I just want to talk about how they've got to fight this agenda of false news out there. There was no mention of the following facts says james rugusky of the fraudulent adoption of amendments to the regulations on may the 28th 2022 or of the january 27th 2024 deadline which requires the director general to communicate a final package of targeted amendments to the member nations in alignment with Article 55 of the International Health Regulations, or number three, the failure to meet their clear deadline to submit even an interim draft for the proposed amendments. Number four, the fact that the pandemic treaty, so-called, is currently being rewritten because many of the member nations are still unhappy about the fact that their previous submissions of text have been ignored and left out of the negotiating text,
Starting point is 01:11:09 despite repeated claims that this is a member nation-led process. Again, that's what we've seen. The Rand Corporation's Delphi tactic, where they would, in the early stages of Agenda 21 before they got more specific about smart cities and 15 minute cities and the UN 2030 agenda of sustainability. At the early stages of this, as they were trying to get these things put in, the Rand Corporation would come in and hold these meetings, these public meetings and tell citizens to come in they had this delphi technique where they would make it seem like you were the ones leading the discussion but it was the whole thing was carefully crafted and designed to manipulate the end point that was exactly what they wanted and to make you think that you had participated in doing this rosa cory's early Behind the Green Mask, focused extensively on that. And then finally, number five, the Who's Complete Ignorance. And that's what it is. It's willful
Starting point is 01:12:15 ignorance, right? They ignore it. Of the thousands of written public comments and hundreds of public video comments and all of the rest of this on rumble thank you very much uh radis bro thank you for the tip he said the usps u.s post office keeps the covid scam going with a subsidized covid test shipments as long as money incentives exist it'll never go away well that's exactly right We're going to take a quick break. And when we come back, we're going to talk about the political connections to not only the pharmaceutical companies between Nikki Haley, Vivek Ramaswamy, and of course, we know the connections to pharmaceutical companies with Trump, but something that you haven't seen before, and I haven't talked about this, and that is the connections between Trump and Doug Burgum, the North Dakota governor,
Starting point is 01:13:17 billionaire, who was running for president and now is a big Trump ally. Trump said, yeah, we're going to have him running in one of the departments. And so it's Trump, Doug Burgum, and Bill Gates, and another guy who is making a fortune with these CO2 pipeline scams. One of the most amazing. So there's a connection with Trump at the center of all of that. So we're going to talk about that when we come back and we'll be right back. Whether you're feeling like the blues
Starting point is 01:13:52 or bluegrass APS Radio has you covered. Check out a wide variety of channels on our app at APSradio.com Thank you. you're listening to the david knight show well some other comments from people. This is from North American House Hippo. Well, thank you very much for the tip.
Starting point is 01:15:48 I appreciate that. He says, sorry, I can't do more. Now, you know, if just $5, if people sent $5, that would be way more than we get based on the number of people who download the program on a regular basis. So I appreciate the heroic efforts of a few people. And it seems
Starting point is 01:16:07 like it's always the same people who are supporting, but I know I really do appreciate that. Um, so sorry, I can't do more. He says it's an unrequested day off for me. As Gerald Slinty said, it's all coming, crashing down. It's accelerating, but on the upside, I've got my BS button that Gerald uses, uh, and uh and uh stealth patriot thank you for the tip um on rumble david the border wall is wide open a half mile from eagle pass and it's a 100 entrapment psyop exactly exactly everybody's focused on this and that's the thing that the mainstream media is completely ignoring it until now you got the army of God. And now they're going to focus on it. Oh, they're racist.
Starting point is 01:16:47 They're extremists. They're dangerous and all the rest of this stuff. And then the conservatives who are looking at this, uh, think, oh yeah, it's being taken care of. That's wide open. Biden's getting exact. Oh, we're owning that Biden, right? High noon.
Starting point is 01:17:02 He backed off of that thing. And it's like, and he did, which is to say that, you know, he knows just like Jeff Sessions knows that there's a 10th amendment and they can't order these things. And it doesn't matter if the Supreme court agrees that the federal government can prohibit marijuana or they can suspend the fourth amendment or whatever, you know, a civil asset forfeiture. It doesn't matter if you get the Supreme court and there aren't, the constitution says what it says. And if the states want to stand up against this stuff, there's not really anything they can do.
Starting point is 01:17:29 And if they really push this hard, it'll expose their lies. And so Biden doesn't have to take any action there because nothing is being done. And on the right, the PSYOP is that conservatives, all right, this is great. We got 25 Republican governors. Let's vote Republican. That's going to solve everything.
Starting point is 01:17:49 We got Greg Abbott, and he's taking point there, and he's going to fix all this stuff. A two and a half mile area. Anyway, he says 100% entrapment PSYOP. He's trying to hire armed civilians to come and defend the border. According to the new American. Yeah. Yeah. Amazing.
Starting point is 01:18:10 Well, let's take a look at, um, what is going on. This was sent to me by listener, uh, hairy hound, and it was a post by doggy stylist. I wonder if there's a connection between them. I mean, if you're a hairy hound, you do need a doggy stylist, don't you? Uh, but it is a good post and um what it says is uh laura loomer has the nerve to report that nicky haley and here's the and and so they they put up uh four pictures four posts screenshots of what other people have put up doggy stylist did and so i'll just just show you and then comment it on.
Starting point is 01:18:47 I'll read her comment and show you the post. So this post here about Nikki Haley, and this is from Laura Loomer. She said, Laura Loomer has the nerve to report that Nikki Haley's brother is in bed with Johnson & Johnson. Okay, true enough. But guess who else is in bed with johnson and johnson uh and he points out that um uh she said uh watch the trump rally where he brought the johnson and johnson family on stage and then got booed yeah that's true and then of course uh he says and so why is trump embracing soros pfizer vivek and um so uh when you uh let's see here's the clip here of um vivek and um uh somebody had put
Starting point is 01:19:39 this up nothing to see here just uh vivek chatting playfully on twitter with the soros fellowship account and when 2020 what else happened in 2020 with vivake well vivake the snake was on uh george governor dewine's covid team dewine the republican governor who did the million dollar lotteries to get your vaccine and that kind of stuff and in 2020 viv, Vivek, Mr. Pharma Bro, got on there in order to do contact tracing. He had a scheme to make money doing surveillance and contact tracing of you and I. And in 2020, he was also chatting merrily with the Soros people. He received the Soros money back in 2011.
Starting point is 01:20:23 Remember, he said, oh, that was way back then. I just took a scholarship. He didn't need a scholarship. I think that was payoff money, quite frankly. And he was clearly on the same page with them for over a decade until he started running for president as a Republican in 2023. And so there he is chatting with him. We were very excited, said Soros Fellowships. We're excited to learn that P.D.
Starting point is 01:20:48 Soros Fellow and Roivant Sciences CEO Vivek Ramaswamy is on Twitter. Even better, you can find his latest essays here. They're pushing his stuff. He's pushing their stuff. And then we look at the connection to the
Starting point is 01:21:03 North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum who and then we look at the connection to the north dakota governor doug bergham who um is uh again another billionaire who's going to save us and uh one person had put out is this who trump is propping up funny that gates didn't buy all that farmland in North Dakota, isn't it? And so there's issues there with Doug Burgum. And Doug Burgum, who really never got any traction running for president, he was the one who, if you send me a $1 contribution, I will send you $20. And people were saying, this has got to be a scam. Well, it wasn't from a Nigerian prince. It was from a calculating billionaire who realized
Starting point is 01:21:48 that, Hey, if he spends a million bucks out there on that, he can buy his way into the debates, uh, more easily than if he spent a million dollars on ads on TV or cable or whatever. And so that's the way that he qualified for the first couple of debates he basically bought his way in and then um what uh doggy stylus was saying about trump and johnson and johnson um that was put out by a democrat um who um out of florida who hates all republicans but ron filipowski put this out at rally last night, Trump introduces the owner of COVID vaccine producer, Johnson & Johnson, is greeted with hostile silence from the crowd, and then says, this guy's got cash like nobody's got cash.
Starting point is 01:22:36 That's what it's about, isn't it? That's what it's about with Trump. By the way, here is the clip. What a job he did. Also with us are some friends of mine. They wanted to say, I said, don't come tonight. Let's go another time. It's pouring. Woody Johnson, a great gentleman. You ever hear of Johnson and Johnson? He owns the place. I tell you what, this guy's got cash. Like nobody's got cash johnson and johnson his incredible wife suzanne johnson whose family is yeah okay and uh he's got cash like nobody's got cash who was it that gave him
Starting point is 01:23:16 a lot of cash you know johnson and johnson was really kind of on the ropes after the opioid epidemic even the sackler family, Purdue Pharmaceutical, they were getting their opioids from Johnson & Johnson. And Johnson & Johnson was involved in unethical marketing of it, just like the Sackler family was. So they were on the ropes from, you know, you see this happening all the time with the big pharmaceutical companies, with the big banks like J. morgan and uh hsbc and and so they were kind of on the ropes and i can imagine
Starting point is 01:23:51 let's just imagine let's pretend that we're a fly on the wall i don't know if this happened but i can imagine that's happening yeah uh they come in and it's like uh maybe fauci says to them uh you know what you guys need? You need something where you can't get sued. You need to get in the vaccine business. Yeah, it's a dirty business, but you can't make any better money anywhere else. Money hand over fist. You'll never get sued like you did with opioids.
Starting point is 01:24:20 And so they got into it and they didn't manufacture. They weren't set up to do vaccines. Johnson and Johnson had never done vaccines before. They were the people who put out opioids and put out talcum powder to give respiratory illness to mothers and babies. And a lot of lawsuits about that continued to do it after they knew that it was a problem. And so there's somebody who really does
Starting point is 01:24:45 need to have a liability-free business like vaccines and fauci and trump set him up gave him massive amounts of cash like they did pfizer and moderna billions of dollars and for johnson and johnson they even had to set him up with a factory so yeah this guy says trump this guy's got cash like nobody's got cash well then why'd you give him so much cash what are you getting out of it benedict donald a lot more than 30 pieces of silver aren't you and so let's take a look at how these people are connected not in the pharmaceutical stuff but in coming after our food. This is from Jules Levine. He says, you know, there's a problem that nobody's listening to, and there is no transparency
Starting point is 01:25:36 about this. He said, hundreds of farmers could lose their farms, farms that have been in their families for generations. If confiscated to make way for pipelines, they would get 10 cents on the dollar for property value. Now, the pipeline company is called Summit. Summit has hit permit problems in three states, with Burgum in as environmental or agricultural secretary,
Starting point is 01:26:03 which is what Trump is saying. Oh, yeah, he drops out of the race. He was never in the race. He drops out of the race and he endorses me. Well, yeah, I might have him in as agriculture secretary or environment secretary, whatever with them in the permitting would sail through. He has already been very proactive in North dakota for these companies but his own state is holding up the permits it's the same old one hand will grease the other game as he said
Starting point is 01:26:33 there's currently about 5 000 miles of co2 pipeline that is already in the united states primarily linking natural co2 sources to oiled oil fields for enhanced oil recovery. Let me just say, this is the most ludicrous game I've ever seen in my life. These people are going to capture unicorn farts, and they're going to put them in a pipeline, and they're going to pipe the farts over to some other place where they'll permanently store them in the ground, because it'll destroy the earth if you have CO2, which is essential, as we all know, for plants. And so you got people who want to pull the CO2 out of the air. You got people who want to grab the CO2 out of oil fields or people who want to take exhaust gases and extract the CO2 from all of this stuff and then pump it and store it.
Starting point is 01:27:28 Pump it across the country. Massive pipeline. It's amazing to me that the environmentalists came after the Keystone pipelines. And of course, that was the very first thing that um that biden did on day one was to shut down those pipelines those are pipelines that were coming out of oil fields in canada and they were going to go transcontinental and they were going to go down to oil refineries in uh in texas and places like that and the environmentalist said no no we don't want to have that now we do need oil and a pipeline is a good way to transport it.
Starting point is 01:28:05 Yes, you can have accidents, but it is, there's nothing that is perfect and it is far less of an issue. If you've got a leaking pipeline, it's more easy. It's easier to contain it. It's less likely even to happen than if you're transporting stuff by overland, by train or by truck or something like that. it's far more efficient. It's far safer from spills, way safer than a oil tanker at sea. If that has an accident, as we all know, the Exxon Valdez, that's an amazing mess. And so the pipelines were a better approach. However, I opposed it because of the eminent domain aspect.
Starting point is 01:28:45 It's kind of like when you talk about a death penalty for murder or something. It's like, in principle, I support that. In practice, I worry about whether or not the justice system works. Well, the principle that we need to have these pipelines, we need the oil. And yet, you had, the way this worked, they gave eminent domain condemnation powers to a corporation and not only that but to a foreign corporation trans canada and so they were going to come in and condemn farms all throughout the united states and i didn't agree with that but we do need to have that all in a different way i mean just just do it without eminent domain and things like that especially
Starting point is 01:29:24 not giving it to a corporation. But this is the situation that is now happening with something that has absolutely no use. The CO2 pipelines is the worst of everything. Because you've got the eminent domain problem that you had with the oil pipelines. And there's absolutely no reason to do this it's an amazingly farcical idea to to send unicorn farts for across the continent to for storage in some areas and so that's the fundamental thing and then the whole thing is a racket it's another one of these rackets where these billionaires like trump and doug bergum and the guy who's running this summit pipeline thing where they get rich because they pull the wool over our eyes with this stuff.
Starting point is 01:30:12 So there's about 5,000 miles already of this nonsense. Isn't that enough? Linking primarily natural CO2 sources. But we don't need to take CO2 out. We need to have natural CO2 sources but we don't need to take co2 out we need to have natural co2 sources it's a good thing it's not causing global warming it helps the plants to grow and god already thought about that it's a it's a closed loop system you get more co2 well you get more plants and they you know take it out of the environment and they they grow and they
Starting point is 01:30:43 give you oxygen. Carbon capture and storage involves the injection of carbon dioxide into geological formations, which means that they're storing the waste underground. While this can be an effective method for storing carbon dioxide, it also opposes environmental risks, such as leakage or seepage into groundwater or into the atmosphere. That's not an environmental risk first of all um again all it means is that you're gonna you're gonna pump this co2 thousands of miles across the continent into a place where you think you're going to store it and it's going to leak out there who cares it's not a problem. You're the problem.
Starting point is 01:31:26 These people are the problem. These grifting billionaires are a problem. So anyway, perhaps if you get enough of it there, maybe it's a problem. I don't know. But guess where the places are that they want to store it. Iowa, North Dakota, and South Dakota. And so when you look at the political connections there,
Starting point is 01:31:52 when Trump was in Iowa, people asked him about this, and there were a lot of people who basically didn't want all this CO2 concentrated in this area. They didn't like the idea of a pipeline there, and they didn't like the idea of eminent domain, and they didn't like the idea of eminent domain. So they didn't like what it was pumping, and they didn't like what they were taking from people. And so Trump said at the time when he was asked about it, were the people in Iowa, he
Starting point is 01:32:18 said he was undiscovered, or undecided rather, on the, undiscovered is actually a better way to describe trump's position on this they had not discovered it he was undecided on the carbon capture pipelines those plans included seizing land from iowans throughout through eminent domain for a private for-profit project a few days before the Iowa caucus, this company, Summit Carbon Solutions, and its co-founder, Bruce Rastetter, announced that he will be supporting Trump in the caucus. Rastetter was reportedly close to being named Secretary of Agriculture by Trump during his first administration.
Starting point is 01:33:00 Rastetter visited Mar-a-Lago not too long ago, which prompted the Trump campaign to declare the candidate was undecided on this boondoggle known as carbon capture pipelines. And that's all it is. It's a boondoggle. It's a grift. It's a ripoff. Unbelievable.
Starting point is 01:33:22 But look, that's the same thing that Trump did for the pharmaceutical industry. Remember, during his transition period, he brings in RFK Jr., who's been very vocal about his concerns about MMR. And so he brings him in and says, well, we're going to look at the science behind this, and we're going to make sure these vaccines are safe voila instantly he gets a big donation from the pharmaceutical industry he never talks to rfk jr about vaccines again matter of fact never mentions it until he says they got to get the shots the measles is going around they got to get the shots and then he pulls the 2020 thing with the mrna but he never criticized vaccines again after that.
Starting point is 01:34:05 But instead, after they gave him a big contribution, he put Alex Azar, who was a CEO of Eli Lilly, one of the largest pharmaceutical companies and the most politically connected pharmaceutical company. They had in the past affected legislation, and they even called it the Lilly Rider because it was put in there specifically by and for Eli Lilly. And so he puts Alex Azar of Eli Lilly, the CEO of Eli Lilly, puts him in as HHS secretary. HHS is over the FDA, over the NIH, over Fauci, over Francis Collins. He put his guy in and his guy was the one who declared a state of emergency.
Starting point is 01:34:42 Alex Azar in January of of 2020 before trump declared his emergency to release the money and so this is um after this guy goes there he says well i'm undecided now about it november 2023 trump's campaign said it was very much aware of the unpopularity of the carbon capture pipelines the campaign declared that Trump was undecided on whether Iowans should be forced to sell their land for the project. One of the things that I did for Trump, uh, when he was running in,
Starting point is 01:35:18 uh, 2015, the only part of that, uh, I was not on board with trump and i did um a thing about how he had uh used eminent domain to it was very much like pixar's up there was a widow who didn't want to sell her house he wanted her house for a parking lot and he kept being the price up finally he just went to the local authorities and got them to condemn her
Starting point is 01:35:49 house but before it was the project was finished he went bankrupt and his casino there at Atlantic City so I did a report on that I think I should update that I can't I can't find that report I I looked for it the other day. Maybe I should update it and include this CO2 eminent domain scam. They now appears to be backing. So this guy with Summit Carbon Solutions, the corporation that wants to build a CO2 pipeline that's going to use eminent domain to steal people's property, declared his support for Trump just before the caucus. Not long after, Trump attacked Vivek Ramaswamy because he was, at the time, the only major candidate who had publicly opposed the carbon capture pipeline projects and the use of eminent domain. But of course, Ramaswamy is also a pharmaceutical bro.
Starting point is 01:36:43 They are all in the club that you're not a part of. And so, again, this is a story that people need to be paying attention to. If you think that Trump is going to push back against this green agenda, this green madness, this green grifting. He never pushed back against the Paris Climate Accord. He put a radical environmentalist, Rex Tillerson, in as Secretary of State. And I know when I called him a radical environmentalist during the transition period, I had all these people criticizing me on social media. You're crazy.
Starting point is 01:37:23 He was a CEO of Exxon. It's like, yeah, I know that. And at Exxon, he was a radical environmentalist, radical environmentalist. And then after, you know, Trump gets in, a lot of people said, oh, you got to stop this Paris climate accord. And it was Rex Tillerson and Trump's daughter who pushed against that. And Trump never got rid of it. He said, all all right i'll get rid of it day after the election in 2020 how about that and then biden reactivated it never stopped and so if you think that uh you know trump is out there day one we're gonna we're gonna crank up the oil and all the rest of this stuff so he's gonna do that at the same time he's going to support eminent domain and all this carbon capture pipeline nonsense that is out there. So think about how this is looking in terms of his cabinet.
Starting point is 01:38:14 We've got Kristi Noem in South Dakota where they also want to have this carbon capture pipeline. She's being floated as vice president, the guy who's running the pipeline corporation summit, uh, has been, he's already talked about having him in as agricultural secretary, Doug Burgum and North Dakota, the governor there, where they also want to pump the stuff, um, is all for confiscating the family farms. As one person said said these carbon capture pipelines bergum is a world economic forum guy been there many times who is pushing carbon neutral for north dakota trump said in his speech that he wants bergum uh who is also a friend of bill
Starting point is 01:39:01 gates by the way as energy secretary so you take doug bergum friend of Bill Gates, by the way, as energy secretary. So you take Doug Burgum, friend of Bill Gates, somebody who pushes all of the World Economic Forum's climate agenda, you put him in as energy secretary. Oh, it's going to be so much better with somebody like that than with Jennifer Granholm, right? No? No, they might go in a little bit different approach. They might open up drilling and then start pumping in CO2 pipelines and stealing people's farms all over the place.
Starting point is 01:39:34 Again, when you look at Republicans versus Democrats, it's like, how are they going to come after you? They've got the same agenda. And if you've got the same agenda of the climate alarmism, that's going to be used for all this stuff. Hence, Trump talking about his freedom cities. Wouldn't it be better to call them freedom cities than to call them 15-minute cities? Wouldn't it be so much more palatable if you were locked up by Donald Trump, because we know that he's really on our side, rather than by Joe Biden, who we know is not on our side, into an open-air prison, right? And then you got Kristi Noem. You got Rasteller, you got Kristi Noem, you got Doug Burgum, you got Gates, you got the
Starting point is 01:40:14 World Economic Forum, and at the center of all of this stuff, Donald Trump, our savior. Sometimes your day needs a little smoothing. Our Savior. ¶¶ In a world of deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act. You're listening to The David Knight Show. All right. Thank you for the tip, DiBartolo Martinez. Thank you for the tip. DeBartolo Martinez. Thank you. He says, maybe President Newsom will make a one-way high-speed rail from Sinaloa to Chicago. It's like they're making a giga ghetto version of Krakow there.
Starting point is 01:41:41 Yeah. Yeah. These giant super cities. I mean, you go back and look at the agenda 21 thing in texas you know they would have this one mega city that would just you know encompass because they're all kind of stacked you know you'd have um a mega city that would include austin and san antonio then maybe another one that's up at dallas and then houston big cities and then kick everybody else out of the rest of Texas. Because they've already talked about a high-speed rail between Dallas and Houston and taking the farmer's land. And, and what's interesting about this was that rail system, as well as these pipelines, what they'll do is they'll cut somebody's land in half and make it so
Starting point is 01:42:24 they can't go across it or something and use the other part of it, but they'll do is they'll cut somebody's land in half and make it so they can't go across it or something and use the other part of it. But they'll only pay them for the little bit that they, you know, the swath that they take for their own personal use. Whereas, you know, what you can get out of your land then is so incredibly diminished. Let's talk a little bit before our guest comes on because I've got a guest who's going to be joining us he is um a political activist an entrepreneur and an author who has um i read an essay um previously on the program that he wrote it was an excerpt actually from a book that he wrote which is a fictional account of what life would be like in a society where cbdc is existing and i read that excerpt and I said, this guy's good. Let's get him on.
Starting point is 01:43:06 And then I found out that he's actually running for president on that issue. So we're going to talk to him about CBDC. We're going to talk to him about some solutions that he envisions for how we can address this at the state level, at the local level, at the personal level. And so he's going to be joining us coming up. Before he comes on, though, I want to talk a little bit about what is happening with Elon Musk.
Starting point is 01:43:27 Big headline news, a lot of different places about how they have found the first sucker. I'm sorry, human to receive Elon Musk's neural link brain chip implant. The person's name and circumstances of this have not been released, I would assume that it is probably somebody who is taking this big, big risk. Not because they want to be able to play pong without using their hands, using telepathy. But I think it's probably somebody who has maybe a paraplegic or quadriplegic or something like that. These types of, uh, health implants have already been done in a lot of different ways. But remember that Trump's ultimate goal is so that you can manipulate your phone or play pong or, uh, you know, communicate wirelessly with a computer.
Starting point is 01:44:22 And quite frankly, I just don't see the the risk benefit payoff there at all but beyond that okay it's not even about that it's not even about you know it's like a lot of people say well get the implant into your hand and your id will be there and you'll be able you won't have to have a password and you won't have to have locks in your home and it's like come on we know what that's about. We know the end game of that is a Mark of the Beast type of situation, if not the very thing. And so when you look at what Elon Musk is talking about,
Starting point is 01:44:55 his end game is transhumanism and the singularity. That's what he's all about. And so you even have some people who liked what he put out on twitter and responded the first cyborg is born because elon musk says we have to merge with machines that's the singularity he and peter teal are 100 on board with that as a matter of fact peter teal uh funded the singularity foundation which ray kurzweil has pushed very, very hard. He's one of the chief scientists at Google and working on artificial intelligence and things like that. But he's all about transhumanism, or better described as post-humanism. Elon Musk's, you know, I don't know if his profile, I don't actually follow Elon Musk on Twitter.
Starting point is 01:45:44 A few people i guess it doesn't but uh his profile for the longest time was his little baphomet costume that he wore anyway the brain chip has now been implanted in a human despite concerns about how the experiment affected monkeys and of course there's no concern from the fda right they don't care just like they don't care about the the mRNA vaccines or anything else at this point. And so he's calling this little device, he calls it telepathy. He says, imagine if we could have had
Starting point is 01:46:18 Stephen Hawkins. Imagine if he could communicate with us faster than you and I can speak or type. Well, I don't know that Stephen Hawkins has anything I want to say that I want to hear. I mean, the, the guy was, uh, uh, a total fool when it came to the bigger aspects of life. You know, he didn't believe in God. It's like, what kind of a scientist doesn't believe in God? Quite frankly, I think to me, that's, that's kind of like a doctor coming in wearing a mask. It's like, okay, I'm going to get a different doctor. If a scientist comes in with me and cannot admit the reality of a designer at the very beginning, okay, That is self-evident. So if you're going to start pushing it, I don't really care what else he's selling here with this stuff.
Starting point is 01:47:11 Basically, it's all a black hole. But when you look at the animal risks here, about 1,500 animals, including more than 280 sheep, pigs, and monkeys reportedly died from Neuralink tests since 2018. The company was accused of subjecting animals to extreme suffering, with one monkey having holes drilled into its skulls. That's its skull, rather. And in terms of monkeys, 15 out of 23 of the monkeys died. 65% casualty rate. But the FDA says, yeah, let's do it on humans.
Starting point is 01:47:50 Can't you get that casualty rate up a little bit higher, like the vaccine or something? I mean, what is going on with this regulatory capture that we see with the federal government? Well, we all know. In one instance, a monkey was found missing some fingers and toes, possibly caused by self-mutilation. They believed the monkey was so disturbed by this brain implant that it chewed off its fingers and toes. By the way, chimpanzees, when you see them, the cute little chimpanzees that people hate,
Starting point is 01:48:19 they're typically the very, very young ones. As they get older, especially the males, they can get very testy and very dangerous. They get very strong. And, um, and one of the things that they'll do when they attack people, I've had many human attacks. One of their favorite things to do is to bite off your fingers, all your fingers. So that could very well have been the case with this monkey self-mutilation.
Starting point is 01:48:41 Another case revealed a female monkey had electrodes implanted into its brain, which caused it to be overcome with vomiting and gasping and retching. An autopsy later showed the monkey suffered from a brain hemorrhage, bloody skin infections, monkeys collapsing. Other horrific side effects were also recorded in the results.
Starting point is 01:49:01 And what is the long-term testing that has been done on this? I mean, what is, we've talked about this in the past. I talked about goat trees. I said, okay, so you've got this thing there, and it's generating heat, and it's setting on top of your, literally setting on top of your brain, you know, inside of your skull. How does it dissipate that heat?
Starting point is 01:49:19 How do you charge it and all the rest? There's so many different issues like that uh but um um you know uh actually um looking at what was done with these these animals and and of course people get very upset and rightfully so uh to see this kind of abuse remember when fauci was caught experimenting on beagles everybody got very upset about that nobody really cared about the fact that fauci and company were working with Planned Parenthood, and it was exposed by David Daleiden in the trial. They got the documents that their customers were actually Fauci and the NIH saying, we'd like for you to kill some babies, cut them up alive, and send their body parts to us
Starting point is 01:50:02 because we'd like to make some humanized mice. Well, people get upset about the humanized mice. They'll get upset about beagles that Fauci does. Well, they don't care about humans, really. And, you know, I talked last week about PETA and the fact that they wanted to get rid of Puxatani Phil and replace him with a coin toss. And I really kind of talked about it in the context of how his predictions of the weather, right, so that he only gets 36%,
Starting point is 01:50:36 only gets it right 36% of the time. I said, well, he's a lot better than Al Gore, who gets it right 0% of the time, or the rest of these climate alarmists like Michael Mann or Paul Ehrlich or all these other people with Earth Day. So that was my point of talking about it. I said, yeah, if we're going to replace Pax Atani Phil because he's not an accurate forecaster, let's get rid of all of these climate hucksters that are out there as well but i also talked about pita and i talked about the fact that they had um uh euthanized a lot of uh of animals at a much higher rate than many of the other animal shelters and uh evidently this came to their attention and so pita contacted me and um it was actually i was contacted by katieer, who is the manager of media relations for PETA.
Starting point is 01:51:26 She said, hi, David, we caught your commentary on our suggestion that Paxatani Groundhog Club replace Phil the groundhog with a giant gold coin. It seems you've been given some misinformation about the work we do at our headquarters in Virginia. And so sent me a video to watch is that if you watch this, you'll see dogs whose bodies were ravaged by cancer, cats whose bloody bodies were scraped off the road, but who were still alive and suffering. I'm sure you'll agree that helping these animals is an essential community service, one that deserves to be represented as such. So in those particular cases, they will euthanize the animals.
Starting point is 01:52:06 And that basically is what Elonk and his people were saying they said well you know these animals didn't die um we just put them out of their misery how did they get into misery well because you put this thing inside their head and they were hemorrhaging or having other reactions to it that was the misery that you instant you instigated the misery and then you kill them. Uh, I don't really see that as, as much of an explanation. And, um, and again, the problem with PETA is that, uh, you know, the reality, I don't know if they've changed, uh, what they do now or not, but, um, uh, there was a point in time that they had a much higher euthanization euthanizing rate than other animal shelters and the big difference between PETA and these other animal shelters is that
Starting point is 01:52:53 they do stunts and this whole thing about groundhog day is a stunt and the other and and my objection with pita is that they think that it is some kind of an ethnic an ethical imperative that you leave all animals untouched and i don't agree with that either uh i didn't support cruelty to animals but i also don't um think that we need to treat them as our superiors or our equals and just say don't touch the animals you know rodeos as i pointed out take really good care of their livestock uh puxatani phil is taken very good care of and uh i don't think that um i would not portray what is being done with pux Atani Phil as some kind of an ethical problem, some kind of animal abuse or something like that. And that's where I differ with PETA on all of this stuff. But before we leave the implants, one article from a business insider talks about how these brain chips can change your personality can do very strange
Starting point is 01:54:06 things to you and um and of course that is something we've i saw that with my mom had two strokes uh it had physical impairment on her at each of these times and each time it changed her personality radically and so they're saying this is uh what can actually happen with these brain chips and it's not just neural link that's doing it there's a lot of different companies that are radically. And so they're saying, this is what can actually happen with these brain chips. And it's not just Neuralink that's doing it. There's a lot of different companies that are out there. Gates has got one, BlackRock has got one. There's going to be a lot of money in this, and they're going to be pushing this very hard at you. And so I want to talk about this. Musk company is not the only one doing it. They call call it bci and there's a ton of them that
Starting point is 01:54:46 are out there they point out in this article from business insider remember there was a 1974 film wasn't very good called the terminal man he gets an invasive brain implant to help him with seizures and while initially it seems to be a success uh it turns them he has a psychotic condition that develops from it he goes on a violent rampage as is typically the case in sci-fi movies the scientist warns of the disaster early in the story by comparing the implants to the lobotomies of the 1940s and 50s they create an unknown number of human vegetables says the the character. Those operations were carried out by physicians who were too eager to act. And so as I pointed out, we've already got a lot of people who are using this for medical issues. Rush Limbaugh, who was deaf in one ear, he had cochlear implants, which helped him to hear.
Starting point is 01:55:49 And you've got other people who suffer from epileptic seizures, and they put devices in them so that if it senses the right conditions that are going to bring on some kind of a seizure, it can release medication or something like that to prevent that from happening. But now with AI, you've got all these other companies that see a big payoff coming with this. And so what are the downsides with this on non-medical uses? Because that is ultimately where Musk is going, with non-medical uses. He's not portraying this as, and you stop and think about it, right? In terms of
Starting point is 01:56:26 people who see themselves as God, who think that they're going to be able to live forever, transfer whatever they think they are into some kind of a machine. And think about it in the terms of, we've always heard about the Antichrist, right? He's going to do all these phony miracles, maybe make the lame walk and the blind to see and the deaf to hear. People bow down and worship that person or that person's technology. It was just last week I talked about how people are speculating, how long is it going to be before people start creating churches around artificial intelligence to worship them? Because it seems so human. And if it can go back and draw on a large database, create the trick of somebody with a great memory or something.
Starting point is 01:57:19 But people will do that you know people will uh get entranced by a printout from a computer model and they will lock down the entire world off of that as we saw in 2020 so the notions of personality identity agency authenticity autonomy and self all these are very compact dimensions and um this one uh uh philosophy professor at the University of Tasmania in Australia, Frederick Gilbert, said, after a lot of interviews, the people had some implants for medical purposes. And then there's the patients sometimes report feelings of not recognizing themselves or what is typically referred to as estrangement. They know that they are themselves, but it's not like it was prior to implantation.
Starting point is 01:58:08 This led to some extreme cases where there has been attempted suicide. He said one patient they interviewed had developed a kind of decision paralysis. Eventually feeling as if they couldn't go out or decide what to eat without first consulting the device that showed what was going on in their brain. I mean, certainly I think this is the type of thing that's very likely to happen with artificial intelligence. People keep consulting it.
Starting point is 01:58:34 They look to it as some kind of a superior intelligence. They have to have its assistance, its mentorship in order to make a decision. He says there's nothing wrong with having a device that is completing a decision, but at the end, the device was kind of supplanting the person in the decision and kicking them out of the loop. Isn't that interesting? It's kind of like a demonic possession, isn't it? Sometimes a patient can come to rely
Starting point is 01:59:06 so much on the device that they feel like they cannot function without it so he said there's also privacy concerns that come with this whenever you're using it even for something to you know um can to kind of bypass a paralyzed part of your pot, your body, or to help you to hear something like that. He says, the device can pick up a lot of noise that maybe we don't have the ability to look at that noise and determine what's going on, but they can intercept that. And if they can find a way to data mine that,
Starting point is 01:59:42 then they will, how will they use that? You know, the privacy of even what your thoughts are. If a brain chip can change key parts of your personality, companies should not be rushing to put them in people's heads, he said. Wexler told me that most people in the industry aren't that open to using BCIs as a consumer product, but Musk is. And that's why I think it's very important for him to have X,
Starting point is 02:00:09 because he can test the public's reaction to these types of things, as well as manipulate it. They still think that it's likely to happen. If it does, they said the whole risk-benefit trade-off changes. But that is exactly the way that he is selling it well we're going to stop at this point um well let me say one more thing since we're talking about technology before i take a break this ludicrous uh thing uh why are so many robots white then we're going to start calling the robots racist They're anti-human race is what they are.
Starting point is 02:00:45 Okay. As I've said before, you don't really have different races. You have different nations, tongues, and tribes, don't you? And this whole distinction about skin color and everything is not true. We have one race, the human race. And as I think it was Ken Ham who said it, the only difference is which way they're racing. Are they racing towards God or away from God? But when you look at these robots and they want to have robots that are black, do these people realize that robot is the Czech word for slave?
Starting point is 02:01:19 So what they're saying is we need to have more black slaves. They said, we got these robots who are assisting people. And so they ought to look like the people. And it's like, well, we're a long ways from that. And quite frankly, I think robots that try to mimic human beings are really creepy. But if they're going to worry about that, you know, me, these children who have autism could wind up interacting with white robots. How horrible is that?
Starting point is 02:01:45 Um, and I got a question. You know, do these children of color, do their parents drive a white car? If so, we need to be concerned about that. We should change that out. There should be a government program to paint their car black or brown or whatever. I don't know. I think we maybe should paint the robots a different color maybe bright red so that as they attack the human race so they'll be easier for us to spot and shoot
Starting point is 02:02:11 um but in terms of worrying about whether or not the robots are white or black this is the absurdity of the racism that is being uh being given to us sold to us every time we turn around we're going to take a quick break and when we come back We're going to take a quick break, and when we come back, we're going to talk to our guest about, and his name is Aaron Day. He's, I found out, running for president. I wanted to talk to him about CBDC, and that turns out that is why he is running for president. So we're going to take a quick break, and when we come back, we'll have Aaron Day with us. We will be right back.
Starting point is 02:02:55 The Common Man. They created Common Core to dumb down our children. They created Common Past to track and control us. Their Commons Project to make sure the commoners own nothing. And the communist future. They see the common man as simple, unsophisticated, ordinary. But each of us has worth and dignity created in the image of God. That is what we have in common. That is what they want to take away. Their most powerful weapons are isolation, deception, intimidation. They desire to know everything about us while they hide everything from us. It's time to turn that around and expose
Starting point is 02:03:42 what they want to hide. Please share the information and links you'll find at thedavidknightshow.com. Thank you for listening. Thank you for sharing.

Starting point is 02:04:35 You'll love the Classic Hits channel at APS Radio. Download our app or listen now at APSradio.com. All right, welcome back. We have Aaron Day, and he has been a Republican candidate for president. I was going to say, you know, if he wants to extend this campaign, he could have me as his running mate. We could be a day and night, but we are not on opposite ends when it comes to CBDC. We're both of the same mind. And as I said earlier in the program, I saw his article on Brownstone and it was actually an excerpt from his book.
Starting point is 02:05:06 So we want to talk to him about that. But as he was running for president, he made CBDC the central point of that. And so thank you for joining us, Aaron Day. Appreciate it. Thank you for having me. And we were talking off air and I wanted my first question going to be, you said you have suspended your campaign now, but my first question was going to be, what was your take on how some of the candidates have talked about this issue? Of course, we had had DeSantis talk about it, we had Ramaswamy talk about it, and we've had Trump recently talk about it. Tell people your take on this and tell people your story about what happened after you suspended your campaign. Sure. Well, I ran for president specifically to bring this issue up. In fact,
Starting point is 02:05:50 my goal in running as a Republican was to try to get into the debates so that I could elevate this issue on the national stage. Little did I know that the debates were going to turn out to be, you know, meaningless. People wouldn't watch them and they were going to be structured in such a way where you couldn't even talk about issues like cbdc or anything that happened with covid but in the process i did chat with many of the other candidates and in fact i've given copies of my book to several of the candidates uh the the most uh interesting one was with vabek he actually read my book and we discussed it i gave him a a copy of my book in June and I actually have interacted with him on a number of different occasions. And so when he dropped out and endorsed Trump, one of the first things that happened was he had consulted with Trump on
Starting point is 02:06:34 the CBDC position. And so Trump came out in New Hampshire, in Portsmouth actually, which I'm in New Hampshire. That's where I live. He came out and adopted an anti-CBDC stance. So I was grateful for that. And I hope that in a way, my book and my conversations with Vivek actually helped push that issue and put a sense of urgency around it. And the other candidates, as you mentioned, DeSantis has been anti-CBDC. RFK Jr. has been anti-CBDC. Haley has not spoken about it, although based on her idea of you should need a digital ID in order to access the internet, I'm guessing she's going to be on the wrong side. I think she would say, if you're going to buy something, I want to know your name, because
Starting point is 02:07:19 she wants to know your name if you're going to get on the internet. So yeah, I think- Yeah. Yeah. Exactly. wants to know your name if you're going to get on the internet so yeah i think exactly yeah yeah exactly but but part of the the conclusion of my book is that they're really i believe there's a greater than 50 chance that we're going to have a cbdc implemented before the 2024 election and so a big part of what i'm doing in this book and in doing workshops across the country is trying to educate people on what they can do outside of voting, which is to exit the dollar and move into self-custody crypto gold and silver and
Starting point is 02:07:51 start using it in a parallel economy. And part of what happened is as traveling around the country, I spoke with Senator Ted Cruz, who is the leading opponent of CBDC in the U.S. Senate, he put a bill out there to try to stop CBDCs and halt CBDCs, and it failed. And he said flat out, there aren't the votes in the United States Senate to stop CBDCs based on the way that the Senate is currently. Isn't that amazing that they won't vote for it? I saw that Tom Emmer, who's the House whip, he came out in opposition to CBDC right about the same time as DeSantis did. And I thought, well, that's good. And that's interesting.
Starting point is 02:08:33 Where is he coming from? And then I realized that he's got a lot of ties to cryptocurrency. And, of course, there is this, you know, the pushers of CBDC like Liz Warren and Biden, all the rest of them, they want to shut down the competition from cryptocurrency, obviously. And so I kind of got the sense that Tom Emmer was talking about CBDC in order to defend the people that he's allied with in the crypto industry before whatever his motivations were. I thought it was good that it was happening uh but isn't it isn't it depressingly strange that uh nobody in the senate will support something that has the ability to turn us into the worst dystopian novel that anybody has ever imagined worse than anything people have imagined in the past well well it's strange and it's really discouraging because one of the things that ted said was that he thinks that there's a reasonable shot that Elizabeth
Starting point is 02:09:30 Warren becomes the chair of the finance committee in 2024, depending upon the outcome of the election. And in fact, Cruz himself is only ahead by two points in Texas. And so there's been a lot of discussion about the amount of money Soros is putting into Texas and everything else. So Cruz is actually on, believe it or not, on the hot seat there again after his challenge from Beto last time around. So yeah, he said absolutely. So there really aren't the votes. I mean, Cynthia Loomis has been one in the Senate who's also been pro-crypto. But I'll tell you what I think is going to happen is we're going to have a situation that is going to gain bipartisan support for pushing a CBDC, and that's going to be around terrorism and money laundering. And you're already starting to see the discussion around that. And that is an issue. So let's say now that Biden has decided we're going
Starting point is 02:10:23 to begin our military excursions in the Middle East, if there's a terrorist attack in the United States, I could see us having CBDC implemented in a matter of a couple of weeks here in the US if there's a terrorist attack, because they'll say, well, it's about money laundering and terrorism. Crypto's bad, they'll say, because it's used for terrorism, which isn't true or not even close to the scale that cash is used. Yeah. But then they'll say, well, we can't have cash either because cash can't be traced. And so this is going to be the typical reason of using a fear-based event to push something that absolutely strips us of our rights.
Starting point is 02:11:01 Yeah. strips us of our rights yeah the question is how is obama going to get uh billions of dollars to to the iranians if he can't send them a plane filled with the cash uh foreign currencies especially maybe it'll be the other foreign currencies from other people that he'll use to pay them off but yeah the problem with these cbdc's is their cbc's cbdc's are not like bitcoin where there's a a transparent ledger all of the transactions in a fixed supply. The kinds of CBDC they're looking at implementing, they're going to have control over how much. They'll be able to digitally print it, and they'll be able to program the money in ways that we're not going to be able to see. So in some ways, they're going to have even more capacity to do nefarious things based on health structure.
Starting point is 02:11:45 Yeah, we didn't start with that in terms of the features, and listeners of this program pretty much know about CBDC, but kind of lay out the case against this in a nutshell when you would present this to people who didn't know anything about it, because as I pointed out in the past, a lot of times people didn't know what CBDC was. But if you described the functions to them and the potential risks of this, the downside of it, they didn't want to have anything to do with it. But they didn't know it was CBDC. So what would be the nutshell case that you would give to somebody who's kind of coming into it cold? Yeah, I mean, basically, central bank digital currencies or CBDCs are basically a form of digital money that can be programmed, monitored, and censored by the government. So basically, the way you'll hear the globalists present it is it's all about financial inclusion and convenience.
Starting point is 02:12:39 But in reality, they will be able to see every transaction you spend. They'll be able to even control how you spend money in the first place. So if you've ever had a health savings account, a health savings account is basically a debit card that you'll get from Visa or MasterCard, and you can only spend it on certain health-related items. Well, imagine that concept except applied to everything you buy. So in other words, if you're trying to buy something with this digital cash and the thing you're trying to buy isn't already on an approved government list, you can't buy it. It's also the gateway to other things like social credit systems and everything else.
Starting point is 02:13:15 So in the future, if your social credit score drops, if you say something on social media, people don't like, if you use too much CO2 based on whatever their guidelines are, they can actually restrict your usage of cash. If in the future the government decides they need to stimulate the economy, they can actually say, and I've seen this in the EU and some of the language around how they're looking at their CBDC, they can literally just say, use it or lose it. If you have money in your account in the form of CBDCs, if you don't use it by such and such a day, we're literally going to remove it from your account because this is the way that we want to stimulate the economy. It is complete control over human behavior using digital cash that's controlled by the government. And to me, it is the single biggest threat to human liberty, which is why I ran for president. And it's why I wrote the book. Yes.
Starting point is 02:14:06 Yes. And of course, you know, when we look at it, it's by knowing everything that you're doing, they can, you know, ration things to you like food and meat and things like that. They don't want you to have too much of. It's also it harkens back the beginning of the excerpt that you had in that article that was up on Brownstone, the excerpt from your book was kind of begins with, you know, life and these people are living in this smart city, 15 minute city, something like that. And unfortunately, the husband says something that the political authorities take exception to. And it reminded me very much of what we always would hear about Stalinism. You know, they control your job and therefore your money, but they also owned your house.
Starting point is 02:14:52 So you couldn't work except with their approval, and they were the ones who were providing you with a home. So if the political authorities didn't like that, you were homeless, and you were penniless, and you were out on the street. But this is far worse than that because they have so much more uh visibility as to what you're doing and you know we talk about the 15 minute city issue that's another aspect of the cbdc they can you know determine where you can spend that money so maybe you couldn't spend that money out of outside of
Starting point is 02:15:21 your little 15 minute area or maybe the larger smart city that they have put you in. You can't go to another place and have anything to live off of when you go there. So it's about the kind of control that people have only theorized about in dystopian science fiction models, but it is that and more. It is really a horrific thing. Well, it's that and more. And actually, if you look at the UN 17 Sustainable Development Goals, you can actually get a sense. What I did is just an exercise. I said, okay, well, let's look at all these 17 Sustainable Development Goals. If you were going to turn that into a social credit score, what would you measure and what types of incentives and penalties would you put in place? And how would you tie that into
Starting point is 02:16:03 a tracking system and into CBDC? And how would you tie that into a tracking system and into CBDC? And when you go through that exercise, what comes out of the end is something that looks a lot like what already exists in China today. I think one of the big issues with this and my big urgency on this, again, the reason I've been a serial entrepreneur and a political activist for a long time, I dropped everything to focus on this because really two things. One, I saw the person who introduced me to Bitcoin in 2012 is now spending eight years in federal prison for the act of selling Bitcoin. Another friend of mine who started a company called Library or Odyssey, you may know it, it's a platform for content. He was targeted by the sec and basically put out of
Starting point is 02:16:46 business because he was using the blockchain technology and was using tokens and so i i started to see that not only was the government was is is cracking down big time on decentralized cryptocurrency and i wanted to look at well why are they doing this? Because my friends who are suffering through this weren't doing illegal activities. They were actually very much hardcore liberty activists that were just engaging in voluntary activity. And then when I studied how far CBDCs had gotten, then I saw, well, wow, the alarm bells went off because as of today there are 1.3 billion registered cbdc accounts globally people are not aware of this yeah i didn't yeah go ahead china china has deployed cbdcs uh they're gradually they started out with 265 million accounts they're rolling it out to the
Starting point is 02:17:39 rest of the country there are 11 other countries that have already implemented CBDCs. There are 130 countries that are at various stages of either exploration or piloting CBDCs. And to put this into perspective, Bitcoin's been around for 15 years and there are multiple different types of crypto. Preston Pysh, MD, MPH, There are 580 million people globally using decentralized crypto. There are 1.3 billion CBDC accounts. So the growth rate on this is phenomenal. And of course, it's forced. So it's a little bit different than whatever voluntary adoption might be.
Starting point is 02:18:16 But it's eclipsed crypto. The more alarming part, and I actually wrote an article that's on Zero Hedge about this, is the United States has completed three successful CBDC pilots. And this does not hit the mainstream news. And if you ever hear Fed Chair Powell talk about CBDC, he does one of these, well, we don't even know if we're going to consider it seriously. It's still at the discussion stage. The reality is they've done three successful pilots. The first pilot is called Project Hamilton, and it was done as a joint venture between the MIT Media Lab and the Federal Reserve of Boston.
Starting point is 02:18:59 And this is basically what would replace cash. This is basically what, you know this is basically what you know that's the substitute and in their pilot that they did from 2020 to 2022 they got the technology to work and it can handle 1.7 million transactions per second so to put that in perspective the current financial system does between 50 and 100 000 transactions per second so they've developed a CBDC that is more than 10 times the capacity of the existing financial system. And in the conclusion, what they said is, well, the technology works, but we need to figure out the legality and how to market it, which to me says they're waiting for a crisis to put it to work. But people aren't aware of that. Now,
Starting point is 02:19:42 this gets even worse because this MIT Multimedia Lab of the mit multimedia lab is a was a guy named by the name of joy ito who um famously received funding from jeffrey epstein and visited epstein's island a couple of times and in the article that i wrote about this goes into some i i've uncovered some things that that were really astonishing and not to go into too much i don't know how much technical detail your audience is used to on on crypto or getting into any specifics yeah go into the specifics and go into the details they can handle it so so i'll so i'll say this so you know i i got involved in bitcoin in 2012, and I've been using it. In fact, in New Hampshire, there are stores and restaurants where you can actually use or could use up until about 2017. You could actually use Bitcoin to buy and sell things in the state of New Hampshire.
Starting point is 02:20:36 Something happened in 2017 where there was a big split in the Bitcoin world. The white paper for Bitcoin says in the first sentence that it's supposed to be used for peer-to-peer digital cash. It's supposed to be used for people as a means of exchange, a means of basically it's a currency. And all of a sudden in 2017, the narrative shifted from Bitcoin being about digital cash to it being about digital gold. Now it's something that you hold to preserve your value it's something like gold you don't use gold typically today for day-to-day transactions but you use it to preserve your wealth as the dollar keeps on losing its value as we keep on printing
Starting point is 02:21:17 more money well it turns out that the developer one of the main developers who was involved in making this technical change, switching Bitcoin from cash to gold, was also one of the authors of the white paper for Project Hamilton, the CBDC. And the funding came from this Joy Ito guy from MIT Multimedia Lab. And I found an article, the only article about this where Epstein was interviewed, where he talked in 2017 while all this was happening about how he liked Bitcoin but didn't think it was a currency, but instead thought it was a store of value or digital gold. So we have a situation here where this MIT Multimedia Lab with funding ties to Epstein and Gates, because Gates was actually funneling money into the MIT Multimedia Lab through Epstein. So it's real incestuous.
Starting point is 02:22:13 Wow. Was involved in both developing the CVDC pilot and I would argue hobbling Bitcoin at the same time. And there's one common developer that was involved in both of those tasks. So there was another CBDC pilot called Project Cedar, which is a wholesale CBDC pilot. So it's basically banks communicating with one another for larger volume transactions and doing cross border transactions transactions which are very expensive and cumbersome now how is how does that uh fit in with uh fed now which is what fed now is a sold as a uh wholesale thing is that was that a preliminary to fed now and um the project no that actually
Starting point is 02:23:00 that was launched after fed now so so fed now is technically not a CBDC. FedNow is an infrastructure. It's basically makes real-time settlement possible between banks in the United States. So the focus of it is domestic. programmable money that is cross-border. And then there's an even more dystopian pilot called regulated liability network. And I find with these things, if they give it a really boring name, then there's probably some real nefarious agenda behind it. Because it took me several times to read the white paper on this thing to fully understand what it is. And the idea behind regulated liability network is it's a one database basically to track all CBDCs and non-CBDC transactions. It's basically like an Uber database that tracks everything, whether it's CBDCs from one country to another, or it even contemplates Bitcoin. and what is really frightening is is the idea of tokenizing everything so this is a big movement right now
Starting point is 02:24:12 and you'll see blackstone talking about it real world assets and everything else but basically we're moving to a model where people are tokenizing everything tokenizing stocks this computer that i have in the future could be tokenized every asset you have could have a digital token associated with it. And through this regulated liability network, you're going to be able to have multiple regulatory agencies monitoring, censoring, and tracking transactions across different blockchains and CBDCs as well as these digital tokens. So in the future, not only could they shut off your money, but if I go to the store and I buy a new Apple computer and it is associated with a digital token, if the government decides my social credit score drops, or they don't like what I say on
Starting point is 02:24:55 social media, they can not only shut off my money, they can shut off access to my computer and my ability to even sell the computer. So it's, it's like the, it's the next level dystopian infrastructure that they're putting in place. Those three pilots, all three of them have one commonality, which is funding from the MIT multimedia lab. Wow. Wow.
Starting point is 02:25:16 Yeah. One, one network to rule them all essentially. And, you know, there's a, there's also funding from DARPA going to Microsoft or something. I talk about frequently the coalition Coalition for Content Provenance and Authentication.
Starting point is 02:25:29 That is there to, quote, unquote, push against disinformation, misinformation. It's there to shut down free speech. But what that does is that marks anything that you do. And it's a coalition of hardware and software manufacturers, as well as a coalition of gatekeeper media companies that are allied with the government. And so when we look at this, every aspect of our life, free speech and any kind of commercial transactions, they want to centrally control and be able to shut down anything and everything that we do, our speech, our movement, our financial transactions, everything.
Starting point is 02:26:04 But the CBDC is right at the center of all of this. and everything that we do our speech our movement our financial transactions everything but the cbdc is right at the center of all of this and um and of course uh the biden administration uh began what was it march 9th or something 2022 where he he tells everybody in the federal government to um you got four areas that we everybody had all the bureaucrats under the executive branch, the deep state. They all had one of four areas that they needed to report back to him in six months. It was how are we going to completely redesign the financial system? How are we going to do the software to make this thing work? Law enforcement had one of the different branches.
Starting point is 02:26:42 How are we going to enforce this and force people to do it? And finally, they were going to market it with environmental issues, because that's one of the tactics that they use against cryptocurrency, to say that the crypto mining is too inefficient. But of course, these are people keeping dossiers on everything and everybody in the world and keeping them at their data centers as well as constant surveillance and data mining so that's kind of a sham but they're very serious about that and as soon as they did that they started rolling out fed now um but but you believe
Starting point is 02:27:15 that this is something that may happen even before the election i think it'll happen before it could happen before the election this is why why I'm so passionate about this and trying to get the message out. But yeah, Biden passed Executive Order 14-067, as you just described, which contemplates both pursuing a CBDC in fact, most of the exchanges have gone under. There are numerous tokens and projects that have been targeted by the SEC, like my friend who started Library and my other friend who's in jail for selling Bitcoin. So they've actually been cracking down on Bitcoin ATMs, your ability to buy and sell. The IRS just passed a new thing, which says that you have to fill out paperwork for any crypto transactions in excess of $10,000. And of course, they did that and then didn't provide the form. So in other words, there was- You can't comply.
Starting point is 02:28:19 Basically, there's no way to comply. And so basically, you couldn't do... It's essentially a way of saying you can't do any transactions uh north of ten thousand dollars without risking criminal penalties and going to jail so they have been very successful at hobbling uh decentralized crypto and adoption and and again these pilots are sitting there um and the technology is sitting there waiting to be deployed and fed now is the infrastructure on top of which they can put a CBDC. Or I guess technically they could, if they wanted to be backhanded about it, they could actually. Congress is required in order to put through a new currency. But there's nothing that says that the banks can't regulate how the existing currency is sent back and forth.
Starting point is 02:29:06 So you could get effectively a de facto, all of the negative aspects of a CBDC by regulating the way money is transmitted through the FedNow system. So I've thought about that as a possibility as well. So from my perspective, when I look at, again, Biden and what he's decided, we're going to take military action in the Middle East, you can imagine a situation where if there's a terrorist attack on american soil you will get bipartisan support for a cbdc on the basis of stopping money laundering and terrorism yeah and as an example as an example for this the the Patriot Act was passed 45 days after 9-11. TARP was passed 18 days after Lehman Brothers collapsed. And the $2.2 trillion CARES Act was passed 15 days after COVID was officially declared a pandemic on a voice vote.
Starting point is 02:30:01 Many people are still in Congress have voted for all three of those things. So the idea that they wouldn't usher in CBDCs in an emergency, I think there's a high probability that they could bring it in an emergency. And from my conversations with Ted Cruz, Cynthia Loomis, and then some of the folks like Warren Davidson and others in the House, the votes are simply not there before the 2024 election to stop something like this. And again, if it's done in the House, the votes are simply not there before the 2024 election to stop something like this. And again, if it's done in an emergency, it'll probably get bipartisan support. Wow, that is amazing.
Starting point is 02:30:32 And of course, an emergency could also include some kind of a financial emergency. That's what many people have been talking about. And I'm sure you kind of war game that out as well. Do you see this possibly happening with some kind of a financial emergency? Because they certainly have created their conditions ripe for a financial emergency just like they've created conditions ripe for world war three or a terrorist attack well yeah my opinion is that what we're seeing is an actual intentional controlled demolition of the existing financial system because they it's the typical problem reaction solution model. They create the problem, they try
Starting point is 02:31:06 to generate a reaction, which is usually fear, and then they already have the solution waiting in the wings. So they already know they want to implement CBDC. They've already developed the technology and clearly the world is going in that direction. And so a financial crisis, if you look at it, so the dollar has gone from being backed by gold to banks being required to hold at least 10% of customer deposits and reserves. We have a fractional reserve banking system. That was eliminated under COVID. So banks are no longer required to have 10% of customer deposits on reserve, which means that, okay, if you go in to take your money out of the bank, where is the bank getting the money to be able to satisfy your withdrawal request? Well,
Starting point is 02:31:50 they're getting it from a principal and interest on what? Commercial real estate, which is failing. Residential real estate, which is struggling. Consumer debt. Student loans, which were just restarted recently, and 46% folks said, well, I'm not going to repay my student loans right out of the bat. So the bank is already in a situation where they have no reserves and basically their source of liquidity is drying up. So I think our banking system is in an incredibly weak position. And this at a time when Russia announced today one of their strategic plans for 2024 is to get off the dollar as soon as possible. The BRICS are moving aggressively to get off the dollar. So you basically have pressure on the dollar, on fiat currency, and on the banks from multiple directions in a way that we haven't seen in modern history.
Starting point is 02:32:41 So I think that collapse is the baseline scenario. And the best thing that we can do is actually to get out of the dollar and start using self-custody crypto gold and silver in a parallel economy to protect ourselves, or otherwise we're going to get forced into CBDC. That's how we get forced into CBDC. All of a sudden one, it's, oh, your fiat currency is now CBDC. It'll be a bank holiday, and that's it. Yes. And we have one of our major sponsors is Wise Wolf Gold and Silver. We set up davidknight.gold. And whenever I talk about it, Aaron, I say, I don't look at gold as really, they can manipulate the price of gold. They can manipulate the value of the dollar.
Starting point is 02:33:26 So these things are constantly fluctuating and fluctuating for their advantage. You can try to time this. You're going to get burned. I said, no, I look at it as a necessity because of CBDC. And I look at it, and you're talking about, you know, crypto, gold, and silver. It really is necessary. You talk about the fragility of the banking system, commercial real estate that you pointed out, that is heavily, heavily impacting the small and
Starting point is 02:33:52 medium-sized banks. And they're already shaky because of the rapid escalation of interest rates that left them trapped with T-bills and things like that, as we saw several bank failures. So the entire banking industry, except for the really big guys that are going to be too big to fail, they're going to be partnering with the Federal Reserve, and they will make sure that Jamie Dimon and these people continue. But the rest of the banking industry is incredibly fragile at this point because of this volatility in the interest rates that caught them out and because of commercial real estate stuff that, again again harkens
Starting point is 02:34:25 back to um to covet uh let's talk a little bit about uh nigeria because uh of all the the countries that that tried this stuff nigeria uh was one where they they did an early experiment uh people didn't like it uh what did what can we learn from that experiment and what did they learn from that experiment because i'm did they learn from that experiment? Because I'm sure that they have fine-tuned the way that they'll impose it on us after what they saw with Nigeria. So what are your comments about Nigeria? Well, Nigeria is an interesting case, and I actually talked to several people on a Twitter space from Nigeria about this as it was going on. One of the things that you'll find, and one of the things I talk about in the book,
Starting point is 02:35:04 is that there really is a push here towards one world global government. And there are specific organizations involved in pushing this, specifically things like CBDCs. And those organizations include the WEF, the UN, the International Monetary Fund, and the World Bank. And in the case of Nigeria, Nigeria is one of these examples where nobody in the country wanted a CBDC. Nobody was asking for a CBDC. The CBDC was pushed on them by the World Bank and the IMF with strings, as those organizations often do as they go in and help destroy property rights and destroy countries for the purpose of enforcing their own standards and their own will. So Nigeria was not set up from a technological
Starting point is 02:35:52 perspective to have CBDCs. So just from a basic perspective, so it doesn't really apply as much here because obviously most people here are using online banking or have cell phones or whatever. I mean, we're already, from a technical standpoint, able to handle the actual adoption of it. But in Nigeria, they literally didn't have the technical infrastructure. And so people were going to ATMs and all of a sudden couldn't pull out cash and you had fires and rioting and everything else. And so it really, I think in that particular instance came down to this was a country where they weren't technologically enabled for it and they handled the marketing and the rollout of it
Starting point is 02:36:32 in a horrible way. And if I recall correctly, I think their head of their central bank is in prison right now because there are also claims of corruption involving a whole variety of different issues. And so I don't know that we can take much from the Nigerian experiment and apply it here. And because there are 1.3 billion people on the planet that now have CBDC accounts, a lot of the arguments or a lot of the complacency is, well, yeah, maybe they've done it in some of these smaller countries, but they can't do it here. Well, no, if they can do it in China, then from a technological perspective, they can do it here. And again, the tech already exists. So if people were willing to take vaccines for a donut or a medium or French fries, then they'll use the carrot and the stick or the stick. It depends on the situation.
Starting point is 02:37:27 So either we're going to have some fear-based event and it'll be pushed in to keep everybody safe or they'll try to make it one of these things where I'll get 1.3 digital dollars for every $1 you have in your bank account. And most people, if they're unaware of what's going on behind the scenes, will actually take it because it seems like a good deal at the time.
Starting point is 02:37:47 And all of their marketing is about convenience and financial inclusion. These are their buzzwords. I'm going to do another article that talks about the doublespeak and provides a guidebook to what these terms mean when these people are pushing this out. Because the biggest one you're going to hear, we heard it at Davos again a couple of weeks ago. You hear it at the UN. It's financial inclusion. This is all about financial inclusion. That's how they try to market it.
Starting point is 02:38:10 And it couldn't be anything further from the truth. Yeah, they want to exclude you from everything because you're not going to be a stakeholder. They're going to be the people that have all the stakes, that they're holding all the stakes on us. Yeah, that's the type of thing that Gates worked with india on with the adhar system and he came in saying you know what these people are just not included in society they need to have an id it's like oh i didn't realize that was what was missing from my life uh some kind of new government id and so they incentivized it with the poor people saying if you take the number of the government the number of the beast you're going to get uh you can get some welfare you can get health care and that type of thing and we've seen
Starting point is 02:38:50 this erin with world coin uh you know sam altman is out there saying well you know you let us scan your eyeball or whatever we'll give you some free uh world coin you know and so i think there'll be a stage and when i look at nigeria maybe they tried to roll it out slowly, kind of incentivize it. They go, well, maybe we've got some poor people here. We can offer them something and do it that way. But people didn't really want it. So then when the bribery doesn't work, they come out with the bands and the blunt instruments and start beating you into coercion. And that's, I think, really where the emergency scenario that you talked about.
Starting point is 02:39:27 I think people are going to rapidly catch on to what this is about unless there is an emergency. And as you pointed out, when there's an emergency, everybody's brain just shuts off because of the fear. And they're grasping for anything, no matter how obviously dangerous and risky it is, they will grab for that, you know, because this is not even something that's going to directly affect their health like a vaccine. This is something that is a danger to their freedom, a danger to them politically and
Starting point is 02:39:57 legally in the future. And so, of course, they're not going to have as much resistance to it, I don't think, as they did to taking the shot when they were told there was an emergency. And it works every time. Fear works every time. And they know it works. And I will tell you, one of the things that's interesting is I traveled to 20 states last year, meeting with various groups of people. And I will say 80%, at least, had never heard of CBDCs. So this is not a phrase or a concept or a topic that has hit the mainstream at all, but I'll tell you something even more alarming, and it's really changed my strategy with this. I originally thought early, well, maybe it'll be the younger generation that will adopt this
Starting point is 02:40:37 because they're more used to technology. But actually, I'm focusing more of my attention on boomers and Gen X for a variety of reasons. One, they have all of the wealth. I mean, I think boomers have 53% of the wealth in this country, but they also have some kind of remembrance of privacy or concept of privacy and individual rights. What I'm seeing with Gen Z and even millennials to a certain degree is a complete disconnect. There's a, I think Cato had a report out that said something like 35% of Gen Z would be okay with the federal government installing security cameras in people's homes to monitor for domestic violence. I remember that. Yeah. Big brother.
Starting point is 02:41:25 Big brother. And so the idea of privacy, so they're going to be more inclined to be like, yeah, well, whatever. This is more convenient. It's digital. Why wouldn't we use this? So I'm actually focusing my effort more on boomers and Gen X at this point. Not that eventually we need to get everyone, but the barrier is even harder for the younger generations because they don't have an expectation of privacy and they don't value it as much.
Starting point is 02:41:51 Think about it. And I've mentioned it many times. I thought it was very interesting how they, and I don't believe it was a coincidence. I believe they started all the big brother stuff, the reality TV. And it was put out there when these generations were very young and a lot of them consumed that. And then, oh, by the way, now we got social media. You can do that. You can be a big brother celebrity, too. You might get a lot of followers. And so it really kind of helped to break down those barriers. And people became kind of exhibitionists about their private life. And they weren't careful about what they were putting out there publicly. And so they don't really care
Starting point is 02:42:23 about privacy. They would much rather be known by everybody that's out there. They don't get the big picture. You know, when DeSantis talked about it, he had about a 20 or 30 minute press conference and he had the sign up that said, big brother digital money. And I was absolutely blown away that after he gives this presentation talking about what we've been talking about and all the downsides of how it could be used and abused against people the first question was yeah but what about president trump and alvin bragg in manhattan you know what's going on with that trial and it's like it's total non-sequitur about that and so everybody is caught up in the
Starting point is 02:42:58 in the in the theatrics of politics and everything and and you know nobody there the press was really interested maybe they were um and maybe that was a millennial who was asking the question. It's like big brother, who cares? I love big brother. That's one of my favorite TV shows. Uh, you know, it's like, there's this total disconnect, uh, from reality, total disconnect to all these existential issues that are popping up very quickly. And even if they had debates, as you pointed out, uh, the debates that the debates that the same questions are being asked that were asked uh 30 40 years ago uh and uh they're not really relevant today but they control everything and then they this time around they've even shut down the debates are going to shut down
Starting point is 02:43:35 essentially the presidential primaries um talk a little bit about uh you said that uh uh ramaswamy uh read your book and passed it on to Trump. Now, you know, when I saw Trump make the announcement, he just mentioned central bank digital currency and our reaction to it. And one of the listeners said, so I guess he got a hold of some of those analytics out there that said that some people are aware of this and he needs to talk about it. But maybe it was Ramaswamy whispering into his ear. But I don't really, you know, I don't trust the fact that he's going to do anything about it because it was in his administration that Steve Mnuchin, Treasury Secretary, and Jared Kushner were talking about CBDC and what they could do to afford it. So I think this is a bipartisan thing, as you've pointed out. Not very many people in Congress
Starting point is 02:44:23 have any concern about this, even if they know what it is and this might be something that they may talk about but you know can we really trust any of these guys do anything about it and as you pointed out they could very easily roll this stuff in before we even have an election yeah so so rum swami did bring it up to trump and in fact trump gave him credit for it. Trump explicitly gave, uh, gave Vibeck credit for pushing him on the CBDC issue. Do I believe him? No, I, I, I, you know, you know, I was arguing with somebody. It's like, well, you didn't repeal Obamacare. We could go through the building the wall and have, I'm not going to go through all
Starting point is 02:44:56 the laundry lists, but, but, but, but am I going to rest safe and sound thinking that he's not going to do this? One of the things that I have found that Trump does is he'll make a promise and then he'll go back on it, but then he'll claim it's because he's really good at doing deals. And this is how you get good deals. And then his followers will just accept that. He never gets any accountability because of that. Somehow he has this, he's been able to use this device of being the art of the deal.
Starting point is 02:45:22 He's been able to craft that into a kind of a scapegoat for not following through on principle. But more importantly, and this is one of the areas that Vivek and I disagreed on a little bit, which is I actually put out a candidate pledge. And the pledge was, yes, if elected, I will veto and do everything in my power to stop a CBDC. But there was a second part to the pledge that says if they try to implement it before the 2024 election i will do my best to promote the idea to the american citizens directly that they should move into self-custody crypto gold and silver as a way to stop it before the election and that's that i actually that was a sticking point with uh with with me and vivek i was actually trying to get him to sign that pledge
Starting point is 02:46:06 and and this is the bigger point so is trump you know is he on this issue because of the analytics because it's something that it looks like he needs to he needs to actually say in order to get elected or is he really going to be willing to even before the election if they try to put it in, use his megaphone to encourage people to take direct action to stop it. I do not believe he will do that. I think we need to talk before we run out of time about self-custody on some of these things. And as you point out, you've gotten completely out of cash. Just real quickly, though, it would be interesting. Did you have any discussions with anybody, any other candidates besides Ramaswamy, uh,
Starting point is 02:46:47 that were running, um, and besides, uh, Ted Cruz, who has, uh, talked about any other politicians that you've talked to and, uh, and what might be their responses? Well, I've got a dozen or so state reps in New Hampshire that have signed my pledge. I've, I've talked to state reps in different, you know, Montana, Texas, and a variety of different states at the local level. And there's a big push now at the state level to try to make gold and silver legal tender at the state level. So I've been talking to some of the people involved in that. They're working heavily on that here in Tennessee, even trying to get a state bank and a state depository
Starting point is 02:47:22 and trying to get the state government to own gold in case there is some kind of a financial emergency yeah so so there are so there are efforts i've also i debated ironically i couldn't get into any republican debates but i had multiple debates with various libertarian presidential candidates and so the libertarian presidential candidates not surprisingly are all against cbdc's and a couple of them mike termott um uh and michael rechtenwald have actually signed my pledge so so if you actually look at it right now rfk trump you know the leading candidates in the race everybody but biden is has at least stated they're anti-cbdc so that's something but again to, to me, it's something, but not enough. It's not enough. I know. It's more interesting that these people would even just turn their back on it. I mean,
Starting point is 02:48:10 a pledge is easy enough to sign. And when they don't do that, that tells you a great deal about people like Nikki or whatever. But let's talk about the self-custody and things that we can do as individuals, because there really isn't anything that we can do. I think that there's not much we can do in Washington. It's difficult to get anything done even at the state level. What can we do as individuals? What have you done? Well, what I've done, so I got into crypto in 2012. In 2019, I exited the dollar completely and moved everything into crypto gold and silver.
Starting point is 02:48:38 And in fact, I'd been a political activist for a long time. I'd given up on the political process as well. So I helped get people elected. I've run for a number of different offices. I'm like, look, this is done. I'm going to move into crypto. I'm going to move into this technology and start thinking about parallel economies and everything else. And then COVID happened and a variety of other things. And then I saw, well, this isn't just about having decentralized alternatives. They're taking perverted forms of this technology and using it to create complete tyranny.
Starting point is 02:49:06 So there's no coexisting. There's no going and hiding in a cabin in the woods when your opponent wants a one-world global technocracy where they have control over every aspect of humanity and control the land, the air, and the sea. That doesn't coexist with hiding out somewhere. So I realized we actually have to confront this head on. So I've been using, and my book goes into specific details on which cryptos to consider,
Starting point is 02:49:32 wallets with gold and silver. In fact, this probably won't, probably can't see this, or you can kind of see this. I'm holding a gold back. I don't know if you've seen these. This is one one thousandth of an ounce of gold. And I've actually, I you've seen these. This is one one-thousandth of an ounce of gold. And I give these to people.
Starting point is 02:49:49 If I go to a restaurant or something, I will typically give these as a tip with some kind of an explanation. So that you now have, because one of the big concerns about gold is, well, what are you going to do? Go to a grocery store and slice off a piece of gold? And so these goldbacks are a way of putting gold into a usable form. I've also used silver. You can get silver in one-tenth of an ounce increments. And so you can use that actually for day-to-day trade. And again, I'm in New Hampshire where there's a lot of receptivity to these kinds of things. With respect to crypto, I recommend, I'm not selling or promoted, but I only recommend cryptos that are based on the Bitcoin white paper,
Starting point is 02:50:34 that are decentralized, that don't have a centralized corporate structure, because those cryptos can be easily shut down by the government and and in some ways aren't even materially different than the existing system something like ethereum is completely centralized in the way that it operates the transactions can be reversed it doesn't really offer any real true innovation with respect to and many people have talked about maybe you know ethereum might be the substrate in which they build something real quickly to put it out there on people right i did not realize that the ethereum transactions could be reversed that's interesting well they can be reversed because because now instead of it being this proof of work model where you have computers competing to solve math puzzles to see
Starting point is 02:51:18 who adds the next block of transactions these are now more controlled by whoever has more coins has a greater say in adding the transactions to the next block. So it's kind of like a normal system where it's controlled by a smaller group of elites. It's also very expensive to use. And arguably, it could be in illegal security. So what I'm looking for are specifically, and I want to be clear about this, I'm not making investment recommendation advice i'm talking about the use of cryptocurrency as cash as a replacement for cash which is different than as a speculative investment so bitcoin which i mentioned went through this thing in 2017 where there were some technological changes made to it, made it unusable really as cash. There was a period of time in 2017,
Starting point is 02:52:09 you had Expedia, Microsoft, Overstock.com. You had major companies and websites taking Bitcoin directly as a payment option. And what happened was because of extra use, the transaction fees went up to as high as $55. So if you're going to spend $55 and in some cases, 10 to 14 days to complete a transaction that made Bitcoin unusable as money. Now they had an option, they had an option, which is they could increase what are called the size of the block. So basically make it so that every 10 minutes you can handle more transactions, which is what basically the Bitcoin white paper and some of the other discussions contemplated.
Starting point is 02:52:54 But instead of doing that, they decided to implement this completely alternative system. And so Bitcoin is not recovered from that peak in 2017, where it was being used directly as a payment option. They now have this thing called Lightning Network and all of these other things that are complicated, hard to use, and have a variety of other issues associated with it. So I found myself using predominantly Bitcoin Cash, Bitcoin SV, Ravencoin, and Litecoin the the main cryptocurrencies that i've been using as cash with bitcoin cash being the one that i've used the most so bitcoin cash actually split off from bitcoin and has so it's essentially the same as the original bitcoin model except with larger
Starting point is 02:53:38 transaction capacity so that's what i've been using and what you can do is there are certain stores where you can use bitcoin cash directly and you can also convert Bitcoin Cash to a debit card if you need to, and use that to make transactions. And then there are services like BitPay, where you can actually pay, in certain cases, your mortgage or other bills directly using crypto through a third-party application like BitPay. And so I outline all of this in my book in terms of how you can actually acquire these cryptos and actually use them for day-to-day transactions to pay your bills. Do you address having an offline wallet and that type of thing? Because that's the other way that they can shut this stuff down, of course,
Starting point is 02:54:19 shutting down the Internet and shutting down these online transactions. And that's one aspect of this as a boomer who's not gotten involved in this that I don't understand. And that is the wallet offline. Is that something that you use? Is that something you talk about in your book? Well, one thing I didn't mention, so I stress self-custody. So one part about this is that you want to get a wallet and you don't want to have it in an exchange like Coinbase. That may be where you need to acquire the crypto, but't want to have it in an exchange like coinbase you know that may be where you need to acquire the crypto but you want to have it on on your own uh device or there are things called hardware wallets or other options where you can store your keys and and basically
Starting point is 02:54:57 have in your own possession your cryptocurrency uh i mean i get this question a lot well what if the grid goes down i mean to be honest if the grid goes down then we're going to be a you know after 90 days in a state of cannibalism that's right that's not even a joke so there's a so there are other things you can do around that there are things that you can do like create mesh networks and there's a whole other you know side to this which uh ways of of being off grid and creating alternative networks to maybe keep some of this stuff going. But this is why I recommend crypto gold and silver. I'm not recommending just crypto or just gold or just silver. I think to predict that any one crypto or any one of these things
Starting point is 02:55:41 is going to win out at the end of the day would be would be foolish it's good to have kind of a balanced approach and when i do my workshop at the end people will have a gold back they'll have silver and they'll have a self-custody crypto wallet with some crypto in it just to get them started with the process but it's something you have to monitor on an ongoing basis i mean i'm i'm constantly there are more uh i just saw this rodney dangerfield joke it was um i went to a boxing match and a hockey game broke out um and you know and i feel like you know i went to a political debate and a in a bitcoin fork war broke out i mean there's so much division and infighting within crypto yeah and it actually makes it hard for me i'd like to be able to say to somebody buy this crypto and here's the solution i can't what i can do is i can educate you on a variety of
Starting point is 02:56:28 options and ways of looking at this and to say you need to stay up on it because i'm staying up on it it's changed it changes so rapidly and it's going to continue to change based on government crackdowns there are lawsuits going on within the bitcoin community there's one coming up called the copa versus craig wright, which has huge implications depending on how that goes that will affect Bitcoin and the derivatives of it. And so there's just a lot to stay on top of. But I do encourage people to, as I outlined in the book, get some small amount of crypto and put it in self custody and start figuring out how it works. There's no for experience and and playing around with it well that's good and your book is the final countdown crypto gold silver and the people's last stand against tyranny by central bank digital
Starting point is 02:57:17 currencies and in that you not only lay out a fictional scenario of what it's going to be like so people can understand so they can talk to other other people about this but it also you got some practical tips in there as well and um were there some comments there travis that that people had um let me read these comments too we got just a little bit of time left here um uh this is um uh this is from surge the purge, who also has a podcast. Thank you for the tip, Serge. He says, David, I strongly feel this is the wrong mentality with CBDC. I'm 24. I'm Gen Z, and my parents are Gen X, and most Gen Xers I've talked to think there's nothing to see here.
Starting point is 02:57:58 A lot of them think that they're still in the 80s. If anything, we must educate people in my age group. We're the ones who are going to have to live with this in the future trump is hope porn i personally wouldn't even entertain him in the conversation stopping cbdc all just talking points call me back call me blackpilled but this is such a serious issue i think rather educate on gold and silver and help people my age understand the severity of the future through cbdc most boom boomers I've talked to literally told me to my face, they'll be gone anyway.
Starting point is 02:58:29 You know, I hear that all the time, Aaron. When I talk to people about taking away cars, you know, say taking away your ability to drive cars. And they said, well, yeah, I think that's going to happen, but it's not going to happen in my lifetime. And then I would have people at auto shows who were 18 years old, who would tell me that. And it's like, and, you know you know we we look at this stuff and we look at how they're cracking down on this and um the the types of narratives that they pushed uh to us i think
Starting point is 02:58:54 everybody needs to be concerned about this and i think the book that you've got there and the scenario that you've laid out i think that's very important again the final countdown is that available on amazon, I guess? It's available on Amazon, and it's in Kindle form, hardback, paperback, and also audiobook. But to address the question that you had, I'm not just focused on boomers. The book is made to be accessible to everyone. There's a very specific reason, though, that, if anything anything i'm spending a little bit more time it's it's this it's the banking collapse as it is staged right now it's a controlled demolition of the banking system in order to stop the acceleration we actually need to accelerate the banking system collapse and the way to do that is the boomers have all of the wealth so this is
Starting point is 02:59:43 just a simple math problem of if you're going to try to get people to take money out of the system and move it into these alternatives, boomers and Gen X simply have more resources in the bank. It's not a question of, yeah, millennials and Gen Z. And I mean, I have 13-year-old twins. And so certainly, I don't want to leave anybody out. So the material is accessible to everyone, but I'm focused on where we can get the biggest, biggest impact. And, and I've talked to a lot of
Starting point is 03:00:10 boomers that are actually take the opposite view. They're very concerned about their kids and their grandchildren. And they're very concerned, um, on the other end about what's going on. And I know I'm Gen X. So there's, there's, uh, you see these memes where it's like, you know, boomers fighting with with millennials while Gen X kind of just sits there and relaxes and has a has a martini while watching it. And I'm not saying that that's what it's like, but there is more. Well, I'll say this, too. We look at people, people who retired all my life. I've noticed this. The people who retired have got time, and they are not as busy with life as the younger generations are. And so many of them will get involved very heavily and be very knowledgeable about politics.
Starting point is 03:00:54 And as you pointed out, a lot of them are concerned. I think the best of them are going to be concerned about future generations. People who are only concerned about themselves, they're not going to be a part of the solution in anything. It's only going to be the people who are looking after, who want to not ruin the future for future generations, for their children, for their grandchildren especially. Those are the people who can make the change.
Starting point is 03:01:23 As you point out, they've got most of the financial assets. They've got time that they can get involved in this instead of playing shuffleboard or something. And they can have a real positive effect for other people. And so I do see that. I do understand and agree with that. And I think you also sell your book at your website. Is that correct? Do you want to give that to people? Well, my website is day 2024.com that's my old campaign site it just links to amazon but uh you know if you want if you want to see what i was campaigning about that's a it's a good place to go okay good centralized resource for that well a very interesting discussion and we've let it go over a little bit on on time because it was so. But thank you so much for joining us. Again, folks, Aaron Day. And the book is Final Countdown to CB, Final Countdown, the Crypto, Gold, Silver, and People's
Starting point is 03:02:15 Last Stand Against Tyranny by CBDC. So that is, actually spells it out. So you can find it there on Amazon. And of course, Aaron Day, you can look by author, A-A-R-O-N. Thank you so much, Aaron. And good luck to you. I certainly hope you can get the word out. We need to get that word out.
Starting point is 03:02:33 It's one of the reasons why we talked about the political position on this. And it is important to know who the people are that are so dead set against our liberty that they won't even make a worthless campaign pledge. Cause that is cheap. That is cheap to just say, yeah, I agree with you.
Starting point is 03:02:52 Sure. You know, shake your hand. Oh, I absolutely love it. And then go do something else. But the people who won't even do that, we need to Mark those people.
Starting point is 03:03:00 Thank you so much, Aaron. Appreciate it. Thank you for having me. Thank you. All right. That's it for the program today, guys.
