OUTLINE of today's show with TIMECODES Budget cuts will cut more than 2.1 trillion — or is it smoke and mirrors? (2:09)The deal to avoid a debt default nixes 30% crypto mining tax. (7:41)Thomas Mass...ie’s perfect comeback, explaining the "deal" like he's talking to an 8 yr old (11:28)"Cutting Biden increases for IRS"? It's STILL a 75% INCREASE for IRS agents/audits. McCarthy plan will make IRS 4 TIMES BIGGER instead of Biden's FIVE TIMES BIGGER. A "turd sandwich", a "Trojan Horse" — various House skeptics of "the deal" (21:39)Shining the light of truth into darkness. Is clarity kindness? Are conservatives embracing the values of the left, to think all problems should be and can be fixed in Washington and to censor those they hate?

It's a partisan fight within the GOP between "Drunk Dade" (WATCH for yourself to see if the speaker was drunk while presiding) and AG Ken Paxton who doesn't maintain his innocence over whistleblower charges, merely that whistleblowers don't apply to HIM as an elected official. And then there's Paxton's wife, who he cheated on as part of the alleged corruption, who will be one of 31 senators voting in his impeachment trial. (1:13:18)Jane Fonda says "climate crisis" was created by white men — and she wants them jailed. Will she be voting for RFKj?

Starting point is 00:00:00 Come on, come on, yes, yes, come on. At this year's Cheltenham, glory rests in the lap of the gods. Oh, curses. Alas, our hero hasn't placed. But there are still divine offerings up for grabs, with all NoviBet customers getting a €10 free bet for every day of Cheltenham. And on top of that, we're paying up to seven places each way on selected races throughout the festival. I declare this a most generous offering.
Starting point is 00:00:25 No, we bet. More power to you. 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 May, Year of Our Lord 2023. Well, today we're going to talk about politics. Surprise, surprise. We're going to talk about the debt ceiling and the politics behind that. It is amazing to watch the lies and prevarication that never change in Washington. And so we're going to talk to you about what is actually going on with the debt,
Starting point is 00:01:53 what is actually happening with the government. But we also have much other to cover in terms of where this country is headed. Can we ever come out of the trance about what happened in 2020? I don't think so. We're going to keep focusing behind us on 2020. We walk off the cliff. We'll be right back. Well, official estimates show the debt deal is going to cut more than $2.1 trillion in spending. Do you believe that? That's what's being put out there by Breitbart. I was absolutely amazed.
Starting point is 00:02:58 This is the type of article you typically see from the New York Times or the Washington Post or something like that. Oh, no, they're cutting the budget. They'd be upset about that. Breitbart is real excited about it. Oh, this is great. Republicans are delivering on their promises. Well, they sealed the deal, right? And that's what this is really about. We want to talk about the debt ceiling. You spell it S E A L I N G. It is Republicans seal of approval on a bankrupt government. And it is the usual lies about how this is being done. If passed and enacted into law, says Breitbart, it'll be the largest deficit
Starting point is 00:03:33 reduction bill in American history. Cue the smoke and mirrors, the misdirection, pulling the rabbit out of the hat. That's what this is all about. Is it really a reduction or is it a reduction in the planned increase? You see, that's what this is about. Look at how much we were going to raise it by another $2 trillion. And we decided we'll only raise it, you know, another, uh, another 1% or whatever. Isn't that great great they haven't cut anything folks this is the way this usually goes the government will usually come in and say well here's this thing 100 billion dollars right uh it's where we are right now on this program we want to take it up to 150 billion dollars and they get in a fight and they say no we're not going to go that high
Starting point is 00:04:24 we're not going to all right all right all right we'll settle at 110 billion dollars on a program that is 100 billion dollars right now and the republicans will say look at that we got them down by 40 billion dollars and we've got a 27 percent decrease and the democrats will say, well, you got a 10% increase or whatever, right? And they'll just, they'll fight over this thing. But look, it is in reality, it is a 10% increase. It's not a $40 billion decrease. You were at a hundred, you went to 110. They wanted to go to 150, but you went to 110. You increased it by 10%, you increased it by $10 billion. It's just that simple. But they lie to you every single time. And here you got Breitbart leading the pack, cheering for Kevin McCarthy, because this
Starting point is 00:05:16 is about partisan politics. Two years of locked in spending caps and four more years of optional spending caps. And there's absolutely, look, this is two years to get them up to the election and through the election. And then after that, it's a wish list. And even the supporters of this say, well, by that time, Republicans will be in control of both the House and the Senate, maybe even the presidency, and so we can get it all fixed then.
Starting point is 00:05:44 Do they not remember what happened in 2020? Senate, maybe even the presidency. And so, you know, we can get it all fixed then. Do they not remember what happened in 2020 when every single Republican except Thomas Massey joined along with Donald Trump to increase everything by $4 trillion of the COVID cash? No, they don't know. They don't care. They don't care. Uh, anyway, uh, Republicans win on the debt ceiling. Here's why House GOP should support the deal,
Starting point is 00:06:11 said Newt Gingrich, who has been one of these people who has been lying to us for the longest time. As even Breitbart points out, you got two years of supposed spending caps, but then, you know, we got four more years of optional, optional spending caps.
Starting point is 00:06:29 They're not statutorily locked in. What's that about? That is nothing but pure BS. Pure BS. When you hear complaints, said Newt Gingrich, from someone on the right, remember that they are arguing from a mythical belief. The mythical belief being that Washington would do the right thing and tell you the truth. That Washington could stop itself from spending like a drunken sailor.
Starting point is 00:06:58 By the way, we've got an amazing clip of the drunken Speaker of the house in Texas late at night. Sure. He'd been having something to drink. It is truly amazing. And it is also amazing what is happening in Texas, the back and forth and how it all centers around. Everybody's using for their own purpose, Trump one way or the other in Texas.
Starting point is 00:07:27 But anyway, it's a very entertaining clip. But yeah, the mythical belief that they're actually going to do what they say. The mythical belief that they're actually going to reduce spending or something. Gingrich said somehow they think that defeating this agreement would improve things, but they could hardly be more wrong. See, it's very important for McCarthy to be able to portray himself as victorious. And of course, it'll be used by Biden as well in his campaign. McCarthy said that the House Minority Leader, Hakeem Jeffries, leader of the Democrats, said, quote, there's not one thing in the bill for Democrats.
Starting point is 00:08:12 Now, this is McCarthy saying it. He said this was said to him privately by Hakeem Jeffries. And maybe he did say that. Maybe he did say that. But I think that there are some things in their favor. Perhaps he's just saying that as a negotiating tactic, if he really believes it. The deal to avoid U.S. debt default nixes a 30% crypto mining tax, says a congressman from Ohio, Representative Warren Davidson. Well, that's good, if that's there.
Starting point is 00:08:42 You see, the Democrats tax and spend. They never saw a tax that they didn't want to have, and they never saw a crypto currency that they wanted to exist either unless it was their fiat cryptocurrency from the Federal Reserve. And so this whole thing about the 30% crypto mining tax, I talked about that. Now it's going to escalate over a period of three years. Start out as a 10% tax and go to a 20% tax and go to a 30% tax.
Starting point is 00:09:08 And it's going to be a tax supposedly on fuel that was being used, on electricity, right? And even if you had the crypto miners using something like solar power, they would still charge them that. Still charge them that. Now this is simply an attack on their crypto competition for CBDC. So it's good that that was taken down. If that's the only thing that happens out of it, great. At least they cut that down. They also said, well,
Starting point is 00:09:38 we radically defunded the IRS. Now we're back to this whole thing, right? The IRS, $80 billion that Biden wanted to increase it. And the Republicans cut it down by $20 billion. But it's still going up by $60 billion. You understand? It's still going up by 75%. And the Republicans are talking about how they did a 25% cut on it. Yeah, he wanted 80 and we got him down to 60.
Starting point is 00:10:09 How about that? We're heroes. This is what infuriates me about this process. And it ought to make you angry as well. Under the proposed bill, there'd be a two-year suspension of the debt ceiling. You see that? They don't even, as Breitbart and others are reporting this they're saying well um at this year's Cheltenham glory rests in the lap of the
Starting point is 00:10:36 gods oh curses alas our hero hasn't placed but there are still divine offerings up for grabs with all NoviBet customers getting a €10 free bet for every day of Cheltenham. And on top of that, we're paying up to seven places each way on selected races throughout the festival. I declare this a most generous offering. NoviBet. More power to you. T&C Supply 18 Plus. Bet responsibly. GamblingCare.ie.
Starting point is 00:11:01 This is Cointelegraph.com. They said there's going to be a two-year suspension of the debt ceiling. Now, maybe they've got some spending caps on there, but the bottom line is the debt ceiling is gone for two years. So this isn't going to come up again. What happens if they don't abide by those spending goals? Nothing. They get to add as much as they want. So the ceiling is gone,
Starting point is 00:11:30 and the Democrats want that gone. And they've been very clear that they don't want to see that back again. Mish Shedlock of Mish Talk says there's 99 pages of details in the debt ceiling deal and a big trap on Republicans. There was one guy tweeted out, hey, this is a Trojan horse. Trojan horse being a $4 trillion in debt. And then the deal, McCarthy is wheeling this Trojan horse in. One person on Twitter was corresponding to Thomas Massey, who's always holding the line on fiscal spending. Again, he was the only Republican to push back against Trump's nearly $4 trillion in COVID cash that summer of 2020, which started us on this new
Starting point is 00:12:19 trajectory that took the curve that was going up very, very steeply. And it gave it a whole new angle. And it's been on that new trajectory ever very, very steeply, and it gave it a whole new angle. And it's been on that new trajectory ever since then. Because, you know, everybody's gotten accustomed to it. But anyway, somebody tweeted to Thomas Massey, explain this budget deal to me like I'm eight years old. And Thomas Massey had the perfect comeback. He said, well, we'll be taking out a second mortgage this week to pay off the credit cards, but it's not until September. They were actually buying the bass boat, the tanning bed and the big screen TV.
Starting point is 00:12:55 That's exactly what this is. Take out a second mortgage to pay off the credit cards. Then we're going to get all the luxury goods in September. And he pointed out the tanning bed. Somebody said, oh, there's still not, there's not a tanning bed and the speaker's office. And Thomas Massey said, no, John Boehner took it with him. So yeah, the devil and the Democrats are in the details. Uh, so he's got a link to it on that article on zero hedge. If you want to see all 99 pages of it and read through it yourself, but, uh, his summary
Starting point is 00:13:28 of it, I've not read through it myself, but his summary of it, uh, well, and some summaries coming from reason he looked at it was because some Republican congressmen besides Thomas Massey have a problem with this as well. Congressman Bob good said, I'm hearing the deal, quote unquote, is for a $4 trillion increase in the debt limit. If that is true, I don't need to hear anything else. No one claiming to be a conservative could justify a yes vote. Well, why not?
Starting point is 00:14:02 They did it for Trump. They're not going to do it for Biden. You don't love Biden like you love Trump. It was just three years ago. You guys did this for Trump, right? Anyway, Representative Ken Buck, I put out the Trojan horse picture. He says this pretty much says it all.
Starting point is 00:14:20 Democrats got everything they wanted with this bill and don't have to defend their reckless spending prior to the 2024 election. That's a big win for them. Wait a minute. I thought Kevin McCarthy said there's nothing in it for the Democrats. You know who there's nothing in it for? You and me.
Starting point is 00:14:38 We don't get anything out of this. These are the people who secretly voted themselves a raise, as James Bovard pointed out just recently. Congress voted themselves like a $30,000-something raise. I think it's $34,000. Nobody talked about it, except James Bovard. I mentioned his article. That's it. You know, just do it dead of night here.
Starting point is 00:15:00 So this deal is insanity. A $4 trillion debt ceiling increase of virtually no cuts is what we agreed to. So as representative Ralph Norman, not going to vote to bankrupt our country, the American people deserve better. Wait a minute. Where's this $4 trillion debt. They're all talking about it. You won't hear that from bite Bart.
Starting point is 00:15:21 You won't hear that from Kevin McCarthy, but they're actually, we're getting rid of the ceiling. We're going to add another $4 trillion here. No problem, right? And he says, do you notice how calm the Democrats are about this? He said, this is why. $4 trillion increase. So there'll be a 1% cap on spending increases for the 2025 fiscal year. Military spending in 2024 will be about what Biden wanted,
Starting point is 00:15:50 which is about a 3% increase. Again, as I pointed out before, a $21 billion reduction in funds that Biden wanted to give to the IRS. The original funding was $80 billion, and so now it's going to be 60 billion. At this year's Cheltenham, glory rests in the lap of the gods. Curses. Alas, our hero hasn't placed.
Starting point is 00:16:16 But there are still divine offerings up for grabs, with all NoviBet customers getting a 10 euro free bet for every day of Cheltenham. And on top of that, we're paying up to seven places each way on selected races throughout the festival. I declare this a most generous offering. NoviBet. More power to you.
Starting point is 00:16:33 T's and C's apply. 18 plus. Bet responsibly. Gamblingcare.ie. That's put out there as a big victory. A 75% increase in the IRS. You know why they're putting all these IRS agents out there. They don't need 87,000 IRS agents to come after a few billionaires. They need 87,000 IRS agents because they're going to be coming after the middle class, harassing us, and they're going to be going over everything with a fine-tooth comb. And the problem with the IRS code, as I've said before, is that a law that is sufficiently complex, I forget who said this, a law that is sufficiently complex is the same as having no law at all. And so if they got a very complicated code, it can be interpreted very subjectively and is.
Starting point is 00:17:18 And I mentioned it last week, Joe Bannister, IRS agent. He was a criminal investigator for the IRS. And he'd be audited every year. And, uh, you know, this agent that was auditing him one year personally did not even try to hide his disdain for Joe personally. And, um, didn't like the fact that he was paid more. Didn't like the fact that he got out of the office, uh, had a gun, all this other kind of stuff, you know. So he's going to take him down. And so he audited him and claimed that he had owed a lot of taxes, and Joe fought it and found out, you know,
Starting point is 00:17:56 it turns out that they owed him several thousand dollars. He'd been very, very conservative in terms of taking the stuff. So, you know, again, Joe Bannister agent for truth, he eventually left the IRS at some of these tax protesters that were identified as criminally. And he said, well, um, they're saying this, it looks like that's what's in the code. They take it to his supervisor and say, don't talk about that. What? Sometimes an honest man is kicked out of these corrupt institutions.
Starting point is 00:18:28 It's the way it always works. Frank Serpico said every institution is going to be populated with people and there will be bad people in every institution, police included. He said, you know, Frank Serpico, New York Police Department, and he's taken a lead in terms of trying to get reform for things and trying to get honest police officers to speak out. Usually they're purged instead of the bad guys. And that's what Frank Serpico said.
Starting point is 00:18:55 He said every institution is going to have bad people. And the question is, will the institution protect them or purge them? Because if it protects them, then it becomes corrupt. And so you get Frank Serpico, Joe Bannister, other people like that are purged. People who push back against enforcing the COVID lockdown rules. Purged. Over and over again. Going back to the budget.
Starting point is 00:19:23 A provision aimed at pushing Congress to give up its practice of funding the government through a single omnibus bill, as it's done for the last several recent years, and return to the tradition of passing 12 appropriation bills that cover various parts of the federal budget. This was pushed by Thomas Massey. He believes that Congress should follow regular order when conducting its business. And of course, the reason that they want to put it in a giant omnibus bill and drop that thing at the very last minute is because, and then at that point, everybody runs in and they look at whatever their pet project is, you know, their pork barrel project or whatever it is that they care about. They look at it in this, this, this thing that is thousands of pages long that drops
Starting point is 00:20:09 within 48 hours of when they got to pass it. And they go and say, okay, they took care of what I want. I don't care what the rest of the stuff that happens. They don't have time to look at all this stuff. And there's so much pressure to pass it all as a, a big omnibus bill that must go through or everything stops. And so he's right about that. But here's where the devil in the details are, according to Mishtalk. It is terms of environmental reviews for energy and infrastructure projects. And so what they're saying is right now, this takes about four and a half years for them to approve something that has
Starting point is 00:20:47 to do with energy or has to do with infrastructure. And this goes back to environmental policy act of 1970, when they started putting the EPA in and other things like that. And it has to go through a whole bunch of different agencies. It takes four and a half years. And these people are saying, let's do it at warp speed. Hmm. That sounds familiar. How do we get these environmental projects out there, you know, without waiting four and a half years while we do it from the inside, we do it in the budget deal. And we tell everybody that it's a big win.
Starting point is 00:21:30 Mishtalk is saying it ain't a big win because this is a big trap. That's what he's saying. The bill requires that this be done instead of four and a half years within two years. And there's going to be one agency given oversight to it. And so as he points out, you know what is going to happen with this? They're going to green light all the green projects and they're going to shut yours down right away. It's just that simple. And they're going to accelerate all of this stuff. And they're going to stop any questioning of the process. Going to grease the skids for the green agenda. That's what this is about. That's a big part of what he sees as the trap.
Starting point is 00:22:08 He says it's easy to see who fell into the trap. Democrats will speed up and approve every green energy boondoggle at great speed. Republicans will have every project rejected at great speed. He says, in his opinion, Democrats get out a lot more from this than Republicans do. 35 GOP House representatives will likely vote against this deal. Republicans have only four votes to spare. So we'll see if this happens.
Starting point is 00:22:40 But you got everybody from Gingrich to Breitbart cheering this along and saying it needs to be done. Don't be surprised if more Democrats vote for this version than Republicans. Look no further than the trap points that he talked about in terms of this approval process. In return for minor cutbacks in spending and a token roll-in work requirement for food stamps, Democrats will get to rubber stamp every pet energy boondoggle that they seek. And again, there's no pulling back any of the tentacles of the government. There's no shutting it down. As a matter of fact, the IRS is going to grow by 70,
Starting point is 00:23:19 you know, and it's actually more than 75%. I think their budget, it's been a while since I looked at these figures, but you know, Biden asked for $80 75%. I think their budget, it's been a while since I looked at these figures, but Biden asked for $80 billion. I think the current budget for all the IRS is something like $16 billion. And so it's going to go up many, many times. And so it's going to go $16 billion. It's going to go up to $ billion okay well i'm only going to increase it by a factor of four hey how about that that's republicans for you just a little
Starting point is 00:23:53 bit less than democrats do you know the democrats are constantly pushing pushing pushing and what the republicans will do is they'll say okay we're not going to increase it by 80 billion. We're going to increase the IRS by 60 billion and we're going to lock that in. I've said many times the Democrats will radically expand government and the Republicans will lock that in like a ratchet. It's a ratcheting effect, always happening. But in this particular case, with the IRS, they're pushing it forward as well. How do they justify that? Well, it's only $60 billion. I mean, we've got a budget deal that's $4 trillion. It's just noise, right?
Starting point is 00:24:33 Well, it all adds up, doesn't it? Maybe 60 out of 4,000, but it still adds up. Chip Roy calls it a turd sandwich. He pushed back on McCarthy's claim that more than 95% of all those at the conference were excited about it. He said, number one, the leadership playbook is to line up all the cheerleaders on phone calls to demonstrate unity. But he says, it's not 95%. I know of no, of more no's than that already. And he said, they haven't really been educated yet on what a turd sandwich this quote unquote deal will be. So he tweeted that out in response to what McCarthy put out. So again, it's going to
Starting point is 00:25:16 raise the debt ceiling for two years, get rid of the debt ceiling, but they're going to cap spending to 1% and then there's no budget caps as soon as the next election takes place. Texas lawmakers, sorry, the Texas lawmaker Chip Roy said basically there's no cuts. They're freezing spending levels. He also said the deal failed to eliminate the clean energy tax incentives included in the inflation reduction act. You see, they still got all of their crony capitalism in there. So one of the reasons why when RFKJ said, look, we can take care of the oil companies, just remove their subsidies.
Starting point is 00:26:00 Well, you remove the green subsidies. How about that? I'm all for removing all the subsidies. I'm not one of these people who say, well, you know, me too. Well, what about that? You know, what about that guy's getting away with this crime. So I should be able to get away with my crime. You know, we hear that from George Santos. We're hearing it from Ken Paxton in Texas. You know, so-and-so did this.
Starting point is 00:26:21 So I should be able to do that as well. Or I should be able to do something else and get away with it. No, let's not subsidize the oil companies and let's not subsidize the green people. But there's more subsidies to the green people than there are to the oil companies. Elon Musk could not be the richest man on earth if it wasn't for all the crony capitalism and the fact that he aligned himself 100% with what the government wanted to push the green deals along. And not just this government, governments all over the world. So anyway, Chip Roy said, this did not address border security at all. He said, so now we've lost
Starting point is 00:27:00 all the leverage that we have to force any action on the border. See, this was the complaint that Kevin McCarthy made about Mitch McConnell because Mitch McConnell got the Republicans to sign on in the Senate to the budget deal. And that's why I said the reason they were having this discussion was because Kevin McCarthy and other people coming in with a Republican majority. They said, wait a minute, don't sign on to a public budget, just do a continuing resolution and let us handle the budget when we take power. Mitch McConnell said, no, we're going to pass it through to them. So the only thing that they had to negotiate with
Starting point is 00:27:36 was the debt ceiling. And now Chip Roy is saying, you've just thrown that away and you can't negotiate anything about border security. That's their only leverage is the spending of money. And when they come up now, they've got a budget. Now they've taken, erased the debt ceiling. And the Republicans are going to be there essentially like lame ducks with nothing that they can do. Because that's their big leverage. Of course, they'll have their time freed up so they can do
Starting point is 00:28:07 committee hearing after committee hearing and play for the TV cameras. As usual, uh, Roy argued this will remove all leverage we have about the border. He criticized the deal for leaving in place. Most of the funding for the IRS is right. 75% of that increase. So instead of making the IRS five times bigger, we'll only make it four times bigger. That's the Republicans for you.
Starting point is 00:28:31 Difference between the Republicans and the Democrats. Uh, so McCarthy says this is going to claw back tens of billions of dollars of unspent COVID funds. Well, the problem is that, uh, it's going to pull back tens of the thousands that were spent. And that money was spent not just by Biden. It was spent by Trump as well. So this is the Trump and Biden COVID funds that were put out there, trillions of them, but we're only going to get back tens of billions. So you give somebody $4,000 and well, look, good news is we're going to get 10 or $20 back from that. That's the good news out of that 4,000 that we put out there. Um, yeah, Trump was raining it
Starting point is 00:29:17 down on governors. Like it was some kind of a ticker tape parade, you know, here's the cash. Do what I say. Uh, DeSantis says we're still careening towards bankruptcy. He said it sticks with the totally inadequate, quote unquote, reset of the budget trajectory that started in March of 2020. What was happening in March of 2020? Well, that's when we had all the Trump cash and the lockdown, all the rest of this stuff. He says, to say that you can do $4 trillion of increases in the next year and a half, that's a massive amount of spending. But it's being portrayed as if they won.
Starting point is 00:29:57 They sealed the deal. Yeah, they did. Sealed our financial fate, if you will. He says, I think we've gotten ourselves on a trajectory here really since March of 2020 with some of the COVID spending. It totally reset the budget, and they're sticking with that. He said, in Florida, we run a big budget surplus. We have a $1.2 trillion economy, but our debt is only $17 billion, the second lowest per capita in the country.
Starting point is 00:30:25 Tennessee is the lowest. We make tough choices. We have to make sure we look forward to the long haul. Unfortunately, in Washington, they do these cycles just to get them through the next election. And that's one of the reasons why they continue to fail. Well, the states don't have the federal reserve. They don't have, they can't print up phony money. Federal reserve does that for Washington. And that is why this is happening. I'm going to take a quick break and we'll be right back. The common man.
Starting point is 00:31:08 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.
Starting point is 00:31:39 Their most powerful weapons are isolation, deception, intimidation. They desire to know everything about us while they hide everything from us. It's time to turn that around and expose what they want to hide. Please share the information and links you'll find at thedavidknightshow.com. Thank you for listening.
Starting point is 00:32:00 Thank you for sharing. If you can't support us financially, please keep us in your prayers. A little bit about pharmaceuticals. And, you know, when we look at this, and I've got a lot of people who are writing me letters saying lay off of Trump. Guess what? Ain't going to happen. The Democrats want to see Trump get the nomination because they believe, and I agree with him,
Starting point is 00:32:53 that he can't win. He's not going to win against Biden or anybody else. And that's not even looking at any manipulation of the vote, which of course they're going to do. In a close election, they will always make sure that they win. I've said that for many election cycles. It has to be a landslide before they'll let somebody through like they did with Trump the first time. And then they will find a way to pull that back after the person gets in office, which we saw. They even started that before he got into office. They could see that it was going to be a landslide against Hillary, and they started all the Russia stuff against him. But once he gets the nomination, and if he loses, which I think he will, they will use it to stoke civil war. If he wins, the left will use it to stoke civil war.
Starting point is 00:33:44 That's the path that we're on. Is there going to be anything positive coming out of it? Is Trump going to somehow turn into a conservative savior after what we saw in his first term, especially in the last year of his first term? No, I don't think so. Brian Shulhavi of Health Impact News had an article, our duty is to shine light into darkness and to expose the evil. And that really is what is the subtext of his website, shining the light of truth into the darkness of deceit. You know, just like the Washington Post has democracy dies in darkness. Well, they don't believe that, do they? But that is his motto. And as he points out and said, we have to understand and have the discernment
Starting point is 00:34:34 as to what is happening here. And as I look at this, I really do question as to whether or not Christians have not just political discernment. And again, I understand that so many people really didn't understand what was happening in the spring of 2020. They had not been a close observer of the games that had been played, the germ games for 20 years. They really weren't well averse as to what's going on with the fda or vaccines or with fauci's history i understand that uh and i don't criticize people for not seeing that that's the kind of stuff that i was following i was very critical of the people that i knew that knew that and decided to tell lies to sell masks and sell sorable food and things like that.
Starting point is 00:35:27 Uh, but, um, I understand that, that, um, people may not have that kind of discernment about this particular issue, but can't Christians understand the discernment about what good and evil is. Can't you see it in somebody that's there? And of course they do see it and they excuse it when it comes to Trump. And when it comes to any of this, just like the left excuses the ripping apart of babies because it's what they want to do.
Starting point is 00:36:00 They'll find a way around it. And let me just get off on a tangent here. Over the weekend, it was served up to me. I go to YouTube to listen to music and this video came up and it was about a guy who had, and it was a catchy title and so I looked at it was a guy who had a church in Seattle right at the heart of the Capitol Hill autonomous zone it was Chaz and it was chop and all this other kind of stuff so as the epicenter as he pointed out he said you know the the Northwest is really an epicenter of all this satanic stuff and LGBT stuff and Marxist stuff.
Starting point is 00:36:50 And he goes, if the Northwest is kind of the epicenter of that. And he said, you know, Seattle is kind of the epicenter of that. And he said, the epicenter of Seattle was this area here, where our church building was, where our church met. And he was talking about how they would have attacks on the church, all kinds of attacks. You know, there would be people throw rocks through the windows. They would have, it's one thing, somebody called him up and said did you have a prayer meeting last night outside of your church with a group of people all dressed in black at 3 a.m in the morning he goes no we don't do that kind of thing but i know who does you know this witch's coven
Starting point is 00:37:35 you know because that's the thing in seattle you know show up and curse the church and all this other kind of stuff he had of course the big big thing was LGBT, Seattle, especially that area. Long before it was championed by corporations and the media and the politicians and the Democrats, especially. Long before that, you know, people could go there and they were safe. And so he said, I looked at it and I thought, you know, there's a couple of different ways I could go with this. He said, I could completely reject this and shut it down at the door and he was had the only church there that was not as they would say gender confirming affirming gender affirming and open open to homosexuality because the Bible is closed to that, clearly closed to that. You have to read the Bible like Kevin McCarthy reads a budget to find a loophole for that in the Bible.
Starting point is 00:38:36 And so he said, I could condemn it or I could accept it. I wasn't going to accept it. And he goes, and I thought, well, maybe there's a third way. You know, Jesus would go to, um, the people that were regarded as the outcasts and the sinners and so forth. And so he would go to them and he welcomed them and he would establish a rapport with them. So he said, I thought I would try that way. And so the problem was that people would come in and they would think, well, I thought it was accepted here because eventually find out, you know, as he's going, just going through the Bible, you know, preaching, they would eventually say, wait a minute, what did he just say? He just said homosexuality is a sin. Wait a minute. I thought this guy was open and affirming
Starting point is 00:39:20 and all the rest of this stuff. And he said, I finally realized that clarity is kindness. Clarity is kindness. You have to be clear. He said people would come in and, you know, they'd be coming for a while and they'd establish relationships with people and all this other kind of stuff. You know, and again, it's a good example of when we always say we hate the sin, but not the sinner. He didn't have anything about these people.
Starting point is 00:39:46 He didn't hate them at all. Not at all. And they were perfectly comfortable, and they felt that comfort. But when it came to their sin, he wasn't going to pass that along. It's just kind of like somebody who comes in who is in a heterosexual marriage and he's an adulterer it's like wait a minute you're saying the bible's against adultery i thought it was welcome here i thought this was a an affirming congregation you're gonna affirm my adultery and all the rest of this stuff and it's like i'm out of here you know they would get out of there but they get very
Starting point is 00:40:22 hurt and he said it hurt his feelings too because he really liked these people and and and they felt betrayed they felt misled they felt like they'd been strung along and so he said so i decided that i was going to be clear about this and that's when everything really picked up because that's when they came after arthur pulowski you know he's a street preacher. He's helping the homeless in Canada. And then he's reading from the Bible one day. He gets to the part, several of them, I don't know which one
Starting point is 00:40:53 it was, that condemned homosexuality and sexual licentiousness of all types are condemned clearly. But of course we want to embrace all of that in America. It's a big smorgasbord of sex that's out there. And so when he got to that, he said, after Archer Polowski said,
Starting point is 00:41:16 after I talked about that passage there in my street preaching, he said, this guy came up to me. He said, I'm going to get you. And he said, from that point point on he was hassled by police continuously concept prior to that because of his work with the homeless he was cheered by the mainstream media and all the rest of that but after that because he took a stand as to what the bible they came after him because he took a stand on what the Bible said. That was what defined truth and his faith for him. And so Brian Schilhavi says,
Starting point is 00:41:53 we walk about right now, we walk about in demonic darkness, don't we? And we understand this about the darkness as Christians, and he's got a passage from the Bible. Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of such things, God's wrath comes on those who are disobedient. Therefore, do not be partners with them. For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light.
Starting point is 00:42:25 For the fruit of the light consists in all goodness, righteousness, and truth. You understand? The darkness centers around deception. And it can mean that you deceive people by not telling them the whole truth. You can tell them the truth, and you can tell them a lot of stuff that's true and really amazing, but then you mix in a little bit of lies here and there, right? To move them in the way that you want.
Starting point is 00:42:52 That is the preferred way that the intelligence agencies operate. If they want to discredit somebody, what they do is they, if it's something very damaging to them, I've seen this happen many times. I've been the brunt of it personally. They will then release something that seems to be plausible. You look at that and you say, yeah, that fits, but it's totally wrong.
Starting point is 00:43:17 As a matter of fact, I just got a message from James Roguski, who has really been on the World Health Organization plans. And so, and we talked last week, but he said, I just got an update from what they're doing and they've changed things around a great deal. And he said, everybody who has been pushing back against this needs to understand that they have now changed these things. And if we don't update what we understand about this, then we're going to be saying things that aren't true. And they're going to easily debunk and discredit us with this stuff, with these new rules. So that's one way they can do it. And, um, you know, you got this, these new set of rules and new treaty and all this kind of stuff,
Starting point is 00:44:02 and everybody sees this and we're talking, then they change it. They say, well, that's not true. You're spreading disinformation and misinformation. You're false and you're deliberately false, that type of thing. And they will also do that another way. So you can tell the truth, but then you add lies in at a crucial juncture, as we saw many in the alternative media do in the beginning of 2020, to push panic and fear for their own purposes and to hang along with Trump because that's where their audience is.
Starting point is 00:44:35 And so you can also hide truth. That's why we say you're going to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. It says, have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but expose them, for it's shameful even to mention what the disobedient do in secret. But everything exposed, I think about that all the time when I look at what the LGBT stuff is doing. Sometimes it's like, I just don't even want to talk about that. I don't even want to talk about what they're showing the kids.
Starting point is 00:45:02 And of course, these people will take the books that are being pushed on these young elementary school kids and they'll take them to a school board meeting and start reading from it. They'll say, shut up. I don't, you know, because they know it's, they know what it is. They know it's pornography.
Starting point is 00:45:22 And they know that it is grooming of the kids. So they don't want to hear it. Don't read that here. It's a shame to read that here. Let's do it secretly in the schools where nobody's watching. And don't tell the parents. Oh, by the way, kids, don't tell your parents what we're doing with you. Everything exposed by the light becomes visible for the light makes everything visible.
Starting point is 00:45:46 Well, that's what we understand. We also understand that what is behind this agenda, it's not just when we say that it's satanic and demonic and dark and all the rest of this stuff. As Christians, we understand that from the very beginning, Satan's purpose has been to destroy the human race. And that's why you see this convergence in all of these agendas from the globalists, whether you're talking about the Trump shots, or whether you're talking about birth control,
Starting point is 00:46:13 or whether you're talking about abortion, or you're talking about sterilization through the Trump shots, or you're talking about the gender mutilation, or you're talking about the psychological grooming, it's all about destroying the human race. That's the satanic plan. And so that's what we as Christians understand, or should understand. And yet I see a lot of Christians do not understand where we are in this. That is the bigger approach. The climate agenda, the Planned Parenthood agenda, the COVID agenda, all of these things map into this destruction of the human race.
Starting point is 00:46:50 So does artificial intelligence and all the rest of this. By the way, I had an interesting weekend as we were looking at things. There's one article, I think it came from the Daily Skeptic, that said that artificial intelligence is going to be weaponized to shut down podcasts. You know, podcasts have been the one thing that's been able to slip by the censors for the most part. Not really from a financial standpoint. One of the reasons our budget is down so much, we're only about 75% this month. And, you know, it was 80% last month. And so it keeps dropping each month. And, um, you know, it was 80% last month. And, uh, uh, so it keeps dropping each month. Part of that big part of that is the ads that we're still getting the same number of
Starting point is 00:47:34 downloads and same number of views and that type of thing. We're getting fewer and fewer ads. You know, when I first started, we had great first month Pfizer was running ads and other things like that. That didn't take them long to figure out where I was coming from. And they pulled those ads and there are other people are pulling the ads because when you look at the corporations in case, and this is the key thing, when you look at whether you're talking about Bud Light or whether you're talking about Target or whether you're talking about North Face or you're talking about NASCAR or, and I could go on and on. Every one of the big corporations wants to sell this agenda.
Starting point is 00:48:11 And so that puts me at odds with him. I mean, I've got no problem with North Face jackets. I've got no problem with, you know, the merchandise that they sell at Target, as long as it's not, you know, the other, what people are talking about, but I'm saying, you know, Bud Light, I don't do articles attacking beer. I don't suggest that you drink it. You know, it's not, that's not the thing that I'm talking about. So I'm not opposing their particular product, like the beer or the jackets or something. I did oppose Target's products, but you know but I'm not opposing their products, but their agenda is more important to them than their products.
Starting point is 00:48:54 You see, we think they're selling beer and we think they're selling jackets, but they're really engaging in a dark, satanic deception because it's more important for them to sell that agenda than it is to sell their products. And so we have to have discernment about this, and I'll talk about that a little bit more. But the other part of this that I really cannot understand from the MAGA people and from people who are now putting themselves out as neo-religious leaders. We got a lot of them. We got a lot of new TV evangelists that are politicians, essentially. And I don't want to put myself in that category.
Starting point is 00:49:37 For the longest time, I could see that people would use this. And I would just really lightly touch on what I believed. And then I spoke at a conference once, and it was about genetic modification and artificial intelligence. This was about five or six years ago. And somebody said, I never realized you were a Christian. I listen to you all the time. And that was a real gut punch.
Starting point is 00:50:03 I thought So I say what I think and I'm certainly not going to hang back on that. But it bothers me. It bothers me. I had time to read this weekend more than usual, and it really bothers me to see how Jesus is being used
Starting point is 00:50:38 by a lot of these politicians just like they use Trump. They cynically talk about Trump behind his back. They hate his guts, but they will declare their undying loyalty and love for him to the public. And they do the same thing with Jesus. And it makes me want to puke. I could name names, but I think you know some of the people I'm talking about, but it's bigger than just one or two individuals that I used to work with.
Starting point is 00:51:03 But, you know, it comes down when you talk about what's going on with the COVID stuff. It's not, the big deal is not that they spent $4 trillion. The big deal is that they're killing people. And they're still killing people. And they're going to kill people. And when Trump talks about his lockdown and what a success it was, he's going to do it again if he gets in. And all these people will. So you better get some discernment about this. And you better understand Trump isn't your savior.
Starting point is 00:51:38 DeSantis isn't your savior. RFK Jr. is not your savior. It's important to have these discussions. And it's important to support candidates when they say the right thing, knowing that if they get elected, they're going to forget about it all. But it's also important to see how these people are going to be coming at us. These people, different politicians, will have a different set of priorities. They'll do things in a different order. They ultimately all have the same goal. It's to put all power in Washington, to destroy the family, all the rest of this stuff.
Starting point is 00:52:21 That's ultimately where they're all coming from. That's where all these policies are coming from. But you better understand certain of them are going to come after you in different ways and you need to understand that so that you can make preparation state or local level or especially in your family to understand, well, okay, if RFKJ gets in, it's going to be, you know, stoke the fires for climate change agenda. And, uh, if DeSantis hits in, they'll probably rush us in or some other Republican. They'll probably rush us into world war two that are world war three, that type of thing. Uh, so, you know, pay attention to what these guys are saying, because they're going to have a different set of things that they're going to do, uh, against you individually.
Starting point is 00:53:11 Uh, this article from, um, the EU times actually saying the Amish rejected COVID vaccines, lockdowns and masks. The result 30 times less deaths. Well, it's much more than that. Uh, they refuse to do any of this stuff. And we all know by now, don't we? Do we have to continue to pretend that this was some kind of a pandemic, a real virus? Michael Yadin says it never was. I say it never was.
Starting point is 00:53:40 I say that it was a strain of flu. I got very sick in December 2019. So did Karen. And, uh, you know, we traveled, took a plane. We sat there and talked in the airport for a long time to a guy who'd just come from China. So I thought, well, maybe that's a, maybe that is something that came from China. But if it was something that was, uh, that, you know, we've had, uh, that type of thing
Starting point is 00:54:02 happened before in the past. And we never got all freaked out about it being a bioweapon escaping or being released from a lab. We've had the Hong Kong flu and we've had this kind of flu and that kind of flu. And, um, you know, different strains of flu go around. We can go back and look at it. Now we see that it was all a bunch of lying statistics, People dying with a positive PCR test. People dying from financially incentivized medical malpractice
Starting point is 00:54:30 and the Amish did not jump into that. Amish communities rejected all this stuff. Went about their normal daily activities while the rest of America was turned upside down with masks and vaccines and lockdowns and ventilators and remdesivir and all the rest
Starting point is 00:54:46 of the things that Fauci and Trump unleashed on us. According to the CDC and mainstream media, the Amish were set to suffer excess death due to COVID. In reality, the exact opposite happened, but they won't talk about this because it completely dismantles the entire establishment narrative. It shows that COVID interventions were completely unnecessary while mainstream America was suffering through lockdowns, school closures, mask related madness. And when was that during Trump? It's one of the reasons why we had the election chaos, right? That's the other thing they can't tie to this.
Starting point is 00:55:24 It's like, okay, Trump shut down all of his public events, uh, which if he'd had public events, it would have been the most telling thing. Five or six people showing up at a Biden event and 50 or 60,000 people showing up at a Trump event. No, it had to be shut down and we had to shut down the conventions and we had to shut down the election and we vote by mail vote early vote often what a surprise and then he raised 250 million dollars talking about the scam that he was responsible for enabling made 250 million dollars after the election more than he made before the election. Anyway, the Amish returned to normal in May of 2020,
Starting point is 00:56:08 as soon as they discerned that the whole thing was fraud. That's the key thing. And so in this article from the EU Times, they said, well, how did the Amish achieve herd immunity so fast? Did they need herd immunity? Was it just a flu strain? Was it ever anything that was, and we have these types of things happening all the time. I remember, you know, we would, there would be something going through the homeschool cooperative, a stomach virus or
Starting point is 00:56:37 whatever. And, you know, it's like, oh, this is really bad. And it was, but you get over it and then it disappears. And it's a kind of herd immunity. But it's some kind of a new sickness that people have not been exposed to before. And it takes a lot of people down. That's all it was. That's all it was. The medical, the denial of medical treatment.
Starting point is 00:57:02 Putting people on ventilators and killing them with bacterial pneumonia. That was the issue. He said, so how did they do this? Well, they didn't watch TV. They carried on with their normal lives. They got enough sunlight. They got outside. They breathed fresh air instead of putting a mask on their face. The Amish would like you to know that you have been fooled. And so they produced a video about it. I'm not going to play it, but maybe I'll play parts of it later this week. Today, more than three years later, you still cannot find more than a handful of Amish who died from COVID, they say. No, that'd be people probably who died with a PCR test. Steve Kirsch is actually offering $2,500 to the first person who can come up with more than five names of Amish people who died with a positive PCR test for COVID.
Starting point is 00:57:49 They didn't have any excess deaths in 2021. And they certainly aren't having the kind of excess deaths that people are seeing now. This all happened, says the EU Times, because voices of reason were silenced. Because free speech and debate was tossed out the window. Any doctor who stood against the consensus was crushed. The leaders of America need to stop listening to the people they trusted and start listening to the people they labeled misinformation spreaders. They got it completely backwards.
Starting point is 00:58:21 You should never trust the CDC, mainstream media, or members of Congress again until they admit their mistake. Did you say a missing name here? What about Trump? What about Biden? Oh, we can still trust them, right? They always leave Trump and Biden out, which is why I always talk about them. They don't get a pass.
Starting point is 00:58:43 The buck stops with them. They are responsible more than anybody. They're responsible get a pass. The buck stops with them. They are responsible more than anybody. They're responsible more than the governors, anybody. Let's take a look at this from the Trump shot. 20,000% increase in retinal eye damage following the Trump shots. Earlier this month in May, this is from Health Impact News, a large-scale study was published in Vaccine's Journal, part of the Nature.com portfolio, about retinal vein occlusion,
Starting point is 00:59:14 the second most prevalent cause of blindness related to retinal vascular disease, second only to diabetic retinopathy. This is related to thromboembolism caused by vessel compression and so forth. The same types of things. Guess what? Blood clots from day one, vascular issues from day one, and it's causing people to go blind now. 20,000% increase in blindness from the shots. And in many places now, people have said it was, doctors have boldly come out and said it was the shot. This is one of the first large-scale studies published
Starting point is 00:59:55 that examined the vaccination side effects, the Trump shots, which are continuing more than two years following the genetic code injections, the warp speed injections. Maybe they should have been tested after all. You know, here we are two years after they started putting these things out, right? We would not have even finished the phase two test by this point, except they use this all as lab guinea pigs, and Trump bragged about it for years.
Starting point is 01:00:24 He stopped bragging about it as soon as he filed free election. I'm sure that, you know, he finally, uh, they finally hammered it into him to stop bragging about his vaccine stuff because he was getting booed at the, um, places where people show up to cheer him and pay to hear him. And they hate what happened with the shots, but they will not connect it to him. A Health Impact News subscriber from Australia alerted us to a recent news story about a 21-year-old man who became permanently blind following a Trump shot,
Starting point is 01:00:58 which destroyed his career. The government is refusing to compensate him for his injuries, despite the testimony from two renowned eye surgeons who agree that his condition was caused by the Moderna Trump shot. So now this is a guy who now is a dependent because he's been blinded. And his work was construction trade. And here in the U.S., the VAERS database shows 19,665% increase in retinal disorders following the Trump warp speed injection. But you know who's really blinded? The MAGA supporters. Blinded to all of this.
Starting point is 01:01:49 Isn't that where the greatest blindness is? The COVID vaccines have likely caused over 25,000 new cases of multiple sclerosis. This is from Steve Kirsch, and I'll let you go there for the data. I'm not going to get into the details of this, but 25,000 new cases of multiple sclerosis, yet another one of the impacts of the vaccine. Here's another one. Take a look at this picture, this tumor. Look at that. That is an injection site. For those of you who are listening, his arm has swollen up to be the size of a melon at the spot where he got the Trump shot. He got it on January the 16th, 2022.
Starting point is 01:02:35 He got an osteosarcoma shortly after that. Pfizer-Moderna jabs are causing aggressive turbosarcomas, says Dr. William Makis, MD. He is an oncologist. Cancer is his specialty. He knows that this is not normal. He said sarcomas are cancers of the bone or connective tissue, fat, muscle, blood vessels, nerves, tissue that surround the bones and joints. We have seen the Trump turbo cancer with leukemias and lymphomas where the onset and the spread of the disease can occur in a matter of days.
Starting point is 01:03:17 But is there such a thing as turbo cancer sarcoma? Well, unfortunately, he said, there's a lot of confirmation that there is. And when you look at this, for the longest time, even before all the Trump shots and the warp speed stuff and everything, I talked about vaccines in general. Let me make it clear. I'm anti-vax. I was anti-vax before the Trump shots. And one of the reasons I was anti-vax was because there was a lot of testimony about dogs and cats. You know, they like to inject them every year
Starting point is 01:03:52 with a rabies vaccine. Well, you know what? If the rabies vaccine works, you don't need boosters. But now they're giving boosters to everybody to make money. And they would have, especially cats, would get tumors at the injection site. That's just a coincidence, right?
Starting point is 01:04:10 It's nothing to be concerned about whatsoever. So that's been happening for a very long time. And now you see this on this man's arm. Absolutely amazing. And yet, how do the conservatives, how does Breitbart respond to this stuff? Well, they did an exclusive interview with Marco Rubio. It goes on for 20 pages. And a major thrust of it, and this is their headline,
Starting point is 01:04:36 Marco Rubio on China covering up COVID origins. It reminds me a lot of Chernobyl. Well, this kind of propaganda reminds me a lot of Chernobyl. Well, this kind of propaganda reminds me a lot of nuclear war, because that's what they want. They want to go to war with China. China is, again, I did that interview with Peter Charret for Battlegrounds, and I thought it was an amazing book. You know, Peter Charret works the military-industrial book. You know, Peter Sharae works the military industrial complex. You know, he's deep inside of all that stuff and we don't agree with it politically,
Starting point is 01:05:09 but his four battlegrounds were all battlegrounds where we're fighting China and they're all battlegrounds that have to do with different aspects of artificial intelligence and technology. And so it was what he had to say about artificial intelligence that I wanted to focus on. But the broader context is that our government sees itself already at war with China. And that's where they want to go with this. And that's the broader context of what Marco Rubio is saying.
Starting point is 01:05:38 The narrower context is that he's selling this propaganda from three years ago. And I opposed it three years ago. And so, you know, as well as being used to sell storable food and masks and things like that. And so my stuff was pushed to the back and eventually I was fired when I opposed the election stuff. But this fear campaign is, again, to push us towards war. China was selling propaganda. You know, at first you look at it and it's like, oh, they say this is an outbreak. Oh, look, that's, you know, that wet market is right there where a biosafety level four lab, the only one in China is, well, maybe there is something to this. But then they started showing the phony videos of young people just collapsing in the road. They started sealing
Starting point is 01:06:29 people up and it's like, oh, okay, wait a minute. That's what this is about. This is about the lockdown. This is about sealing people in their homes. And we've seen that play out. They did it in Shanghai as well later on. And so that was the Chinese propaganda. That was the real virus that people like Marco Rubio and conservatives and Trump latched onto. The virus was the Chinese propaganda. That's the Chinese virus. The Chinese propaganda is the virus. And that's what these people are trying to do. And again, they're still pushing this. Why would you focus on this?
Starting point is 01:07:10 At this point now, we have debunked all their stats that were phony in the first place. And we know that we didn't have a higher number of people than you typically would with a typical flu season. We know they were relabeling that. They were relabeling every kind of death. They were killing people with the ventilators, with the remdesivir, and all these other things, the lockdown, the rest of it. We know that this was not a virus.
Starting point is 01:07:39 This is not a bioweapon that was unleashed on us. We know that the vaccine was that, and that's why they're doing this, as Dr. Yadin said. They're still talking about China and the virus because they want you to believe this whole thing was real. And they're laying the foundation for the next one to come in. And these politicians like Rubio, like Trump and the rest, they will lock you down again. On a pack of lies.
Starting point is 01:08:05 Before we go to break, let me read a couple of the comments here. On Rumble, KWD66 says, People wanting you to lay off Trump need to listen. MAGA is as indoctrinated as any leftist Marxist loon. It's about identity politics, isn't it? The election stuff has become about identity politics. And these people are just as irrational and just as focused on identity politics as people who can't see beyond skin color. They won't pay any attention to what you do, good or
Starting point is 01:08:36 bad. And these people won't look past Trump, good or bad. What did he do? We don't care. He's Trump. What did I do? I don't care. You're a white man. You know, you're evil. It's that type of thing. Uh, on rumble, the original Karen, the AG in Texas, I'm going to talk about him. Ken Paxton is being impeached, not being covered in the news. I'm going to give you my take on it. When we come back here, that's the next section I'm going to get to, um, On Rockfin, Brian and Deb McCartney. And Morning Joe and pals are on a fake radical Christian nationalist rant. They're setting up the next Waco or Ruby Ridge, especially with
Starting point is 01:09:15 missing fertilizer. Yeah, that's the... 30 tons of ammonium nitrate. As a matter of fact, I didn't get to it last week. It's a small article, but I thought it was kind of interesting. And it's a company that's in Knoxville. They make airbags. And I talked for years and, and, uh, Eric Peters of epautos.com has talked about the airbag situation. Takata made a lot of airbags for various automobile manufacturers. A lot of them use them as a supplier and, and mostly in a humid, um, Southern climates over after a number of years, there would be some deterioration in these things and they could explode and detonate when there wasn't something going off and they would literally explode. Not like an airbag should with the airbag. That could
Starting point is 01:10:05 be fatal. Uh, if it's not a collision that that can be enough to kill you, but this thing would explode and inject metal particles into your chest, like a shotgun. And so they had about 15 or so people that last time I looked into it worldwide. And there was a big recall on it. Uh, and we talked about it. We said, you know, we, we compare that many times to when you remember a few years ago, the government came after Volkswagen because they'd come up with a very, very fuel efficient diesel and they wanted to shut down that, you know, diesel has got to be shut down. We don't want to have any efficient internal combustion engines. You can scrub them and you can make them completely clean,
Starting point is 01:10:49 but we're going to shut them down. They're now doing the same thing to power plants. We don't care how much you scrub, how much money you spend on cleaning this thing up. We're going to shut it down. We don't care. That's what they did to the diesel stuff. And hit them with billions of dollars of fines,
Starting point is 01:11:04 and I think it's $4 billion. And jail term for their CEO and stuff like that. We said, but what about Takata? You know, they actually kill people. Nobody died from what they're coming after Volkswagen for. They just came after Volkswagen and said, you falsified some of your emissions standards. And so we're going to come after you for that. And so we talk about that many times.
Starting point is 01:11:25 Well, there's a company in Knoxville that makes airbags. And there have been some detonations of those airbags. And it's not clear. They're denying that the equipment is faulty. They're saying that it's some other thing. So I'm not going to get into that as to who's responsible with it. But what made it interesting to me was the fact that the detonation of these airbags, because they're explosive device. Sometimes you'll see people take them out and they'll put, you know, take them out of
Starting point is 01:11:55 their steering wheel and put them on the ground, put something heavy on top of it and detonate it, you know, shoot the thing straight up in the air. So it's pretty powerful explosive device. You know what it uses for explosives ammonium nitrate we just had 30 tons of it disappear in the railroad car so yeah could be could be something coming keep an eye on that if there's some big terrorist event uh of course they probably now at this point will not tell us that it was ammonium nitrate. They'll probably blame it on something else on rumble. East busters. Thank you very much. I appreciate the tip. Thank you.
Starting point is 01:12:35 Um, uh, keep up the good work exposing Trump. He's the person that destroyed our nation. Yeah. Yeah. That lying baby killing con artists. Yeah. He's now pushing, you know, for, uh, it's too harsh, too harsh. If, uh, you have, um, if you have some, uh, abortion restriction at a lower age, that's too harsh. It's not too harsh. If you rip the baby apart, it's not too harsh. If you, uh, kill the baby with chemicals, it's not too harsh if you let the baby, the baby survives all that, and you let the baby die. That's not too harsh. Trump says we shouldn't protect the babies.
Starting point is 01:13:13 So, and Geesebusters knows. He used to be there at Trump's golf courses getting the geese away and some of them. He's got a very interesting business where he, um, people call him in to, um, uh, to, you know, get the geese away. He doesn't kill him. He just, you know, uh, scares him away. He's got a very effective way to do that. We're going to take a quick break and we're going to come back. Uh, stay with us. this. The David Knight Show is a critical thinking super spreader.
Starting point is 01:13:56 If you've been exposed to logic by listening to the David Knight Show, please do your part and try not to spread it. Financial support or simply telling others about the show causes this dangerous information to spread farther. People have to trust me.
Starting point is 01:14:22 I mean, trust the science. Wear your mask. Take your vaccine. Don't ask questions. Using free speech to free minds. It's the David Knight Show. Okay, let's talk about Ken Paxton. Let me cut my audience size down a little bit more here.
Starting point is 01:14:57 Because there's a lot of conservatives who are coming to his rescue. And so let's talk about what was done here. This happened after the show on Friday, happened over the weekend. Texas House Republicans vote to impeach Republican Attorney General Ken Paxton. President Trump vows to fight them. This has national implications. And this is, interesting thing about this is, and the Associated Press points out, you know, they impeached Trump, but you know, that was Democrats wanting to do this. And it's partisan stuff. Even AP says this now.
Starting point is 01:15:29 It was a partisan thing to impeach Trump. And it was. And everybody saw it for that. But in this particular case, this is all Republicans impeaching Ken Paxton. Now, he says that there is a division within the Republican Party. Leftists are in charge of it. And it is kind of interesting. He immediately went after the Texas Speaker of the House and said that he was drunk on the floor of the House.
Starting point is 01:16:00 And I'll play that for you. It's actually pretty funny uh but this was a vote to adopt 20 articles of impeachment 20 articles of impeachment and it passed in the texas state house 121 to 23 85 of the people in the house voted for it. 70% of his fellow Republicans voted to impeach him. And so is this guy guilty? And what I see is a knee-jerk reaction from conservatives across the country because Ken Paxton went further than any other state attorney general to fight on this election thing on the behalf of Trump.
Starting point is 01:16:48 Because of that, these people are saying, well, this has got to be totally political because so much stuff has happened to Trump that is political, obviously. And that's another danger of this weaponized political persecution of Trump. Not only do people see what it is, but then it, it allows, uh, real criminals to skate free and claim that it's just political persecution.
Starting point is 01:17:13 But you know, there's, that's why I think it's important to talk about people like George Santos, for example, he's not allied with Trump. You know, Trump is not a factor in the George Santos thing. The character of Kevin McCarthy and of the GOP is the issue. And the case of George Santos, the guy from New York, who, uh, the Republican who got elected, who has this long rap list of a rap sheet of all these crimes that he has, uh, and, and scandals and things, lies that he told about everything about his life. He's got a long list of things that he did both in Brazil. And then after he came to the United States, uh, and yet you see here, the same thing from
Starting point is 01:17:59 Kevin McCarthy. Well, what the voters decide about that. I don't have any problem with it. You know, they sent him here. I need the vote. And so we're not going to look too closely at his background. So I guess we should embrace evil so that good may come of it, right? Is that right?
Starting point is 01:18:17 You see, we trust some people trust in horses and chariots. We trust in the GOP and Trump to save us. Did it ever occur to you that maybe Trump and the GOP are a judgment from God for people who idolize them? For people who have forgotten what God had to say about character and integrity? Did that ever occur to you? People are shocked when I share the opinion that Texas is not near the
Starting point is 01:18:48 top of the Republican States considered deep red conservative as a conservative tree house, the Texas Republicans who voted to remove the conservative attorney general are the typical Texas Rhino Bush DeSantis support group. Understanding the dynamic president Trump has promised to fight the Texas Republicans as they attack Ken Paxton. And Ken Paxton went on the attack himself, showing the drunken attorney general. Do I have that in here? I don't see it on here.
Starting point is 01:19:27 Did I not give that to you? The drunken dade. I can't believe I didn't give that to you. Check the file and make sure we didn't just forget to put that in. Yeah, he is on the liberal side of republicans and yes if you look at the clip i think it's pretty clear that uh dade phelan who is the speaker of the texas house was drunk so what does that have to do you know fine come after him for that that's the case and you want to prove it uh what does that have to do? Does that explain what, does that excuse any of the charges
Starting point is 01:20:09 that Paxton had? No, it's a non sequitur. Again, it's going back to personal politics. And the conservative treehouse and many others say, well, wait a minute, Paxton supports Trump. Case closed. He can't be guilty of anything, right? Except for the fact that the house committee voted five to zero to push these articles of impeachment to the house. And then the house voted 121 to 23. That's 85% of them. And, um, then, um, so you got it okay good yeah let's play this is uh this is the guy that he's attacking this is the speaker of the house uh that he's put out hashtags drunken
Starting point is 01:20:53 dade uh because that's his first name uh go ahead and play the play has not provided any real hard proof of his allegation but last friday don't have any audio? Last Friday, video recorded from the House floor shows the Speaker conducting a late night portion in the 14th hour of a 14-hour session with slurred speech. There is a different cadence and not the rapid-fire calling of votes normally heard while Phelan presides. We're going to play the Speaker twice. First, from May 19th. Again, that's the day in question.
Starting point is 01:21:21 Following that, from last night. Look and listen. Mr. Campbell, the member that is the day in question. Following that, from last night, look and listen. Mr. Campbell, the amendment is a settlement of the author. Is there objection to the opposite amendment? The chair has done the amendment. The amendment is adopted. SB 1070, this is a record vote. The clerk will ring the bell.
Starting point is 01:21:38 Show Mr. Jaton voting aye. Mr. Smith voting aye. This is the way he normally talks. Ms. Wiener voting nay. Have all members voted? Mr. Campbell, send out an amendment. The amendment is acceptable to the author. Is there objection to the opposite amendment?
Starting point is 01:21:56 The chair has adopted. Amendment is adopted. You see the size of his gavel there. This is Texas. You know everything in Texas is big. This is Mr. Johnson of Harris. Mr. Johnson of Harris is speaking in opposition to the bill. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:22:15 Okay. Okay. So he's drunk. And that's another issue. It doesn't excuse anything that Ken Paxton may or may not have done. Again, 85% of the house, a hundred percent unanimous, a committee that looked at the charges detail said, send this out. So we were appalled. Then 85% of the house votes to impeach him.
Starting point is 01:22:37 70% of the Republicans voted to impeach him. But you know, Hey, it's just because he's a friend of Trump. And Trump doubles down because, you know, hey, he's a friend of Trump. So they're going to have an impeachment trial in August. Now it gets interesting because at the heart of what he was impeached for is, you know, some political favors and for money donated and all this other kind of stuff. And also an adulterous relationship is at the center of this. And Ken Paxton's wife is a state Senator, one of 31 and she will be voting on whether or not to impeach her cheating husband. I mean,
Starting point is 01:23:21 this is like Bill and Hillary Clinton again, and I'm sure she'll probably do a Hillary and she'll be okay with it. And so when you look at the other Republicans who are there, Ted Cruz has come out in defense of Ken Paxton. Greg Abbott is silent and, uh, being, uh, uh, attacked for being silent. Uh, so Abbott was not able to get his full agenda through the GOP-controlled legislature on time. Again, Phelan is not as conservative as we would like him to be. He almost immediately called lawmakers back to work for the first of several special sessions
Starting point is 01:23:58 in the coming months. His announcement made no mention of Paxton, who Abbott has remained silent on since the impeachment. The GOP-controlled House overwhelmingly impeached this weekend on charges that include bribery and misuse of office following nearly a decade of scandal and criminal accusations. And see, this is the other part of it. I think, you know, they point out he's run for office multiple times with these charges from the SEC. And they were technical charges. And I think the people of Texas looked at that and said, you know, this looks like political persecution coming from the Securities and Exchange Commission. And it probably was. But this is a whole new set of issues here. So, again, his wife will be there.
Starting point is 01:24:48 Bribery, misuse of office, involving an adulterous relationship at the center of all these bribery charges. And his wife will be voting as to whether or not to impeach him. Trump, over the weekend, posted on a social media platform that the governor was, Governor Abbott, was missing in action, all uppercase with exclamation marks, as is his, you know, I guess it, I don't know, what do you do to emphasize something
Starting point is 01:25:12 when you're always screaming in uppercase? You just add some more exclamation marks there, I guess. Republicans succeeded in passing a slew of measures that they held up as victorious for conservatives, including bans on what the Associated Press likes to call gender-affirming care, mutilation and sterilization of minors, that's what I call it, and banning offices of diversity, equity, and inclusion at the state's universities. They also put Harris County, the third largest county in the nation and the largest in Texas that is controlled by Democrats.
Starting point is 01:25:47 They put them under new laws that forced them to fire their elections administrator and opens a path for state officials to take greater control over their elections. Harris County, which is where Houston is, completely run by Democrats. And so, again, it's obviously because of being run by Democrats, it's a hot bed of election fraud. And so they've fired these people, put it under more state control, and they've done some of the things for kids that we see happening around the country. Paxton is only the third sitting office official in Texas nearly 200-year history to be impeached. He called the House investigation that led up to his impeachment, he called it corrupt. He has broadly denied any wrongdoing. The raft of accusations against him include an indictment on security
Starting point is 01:26:38 fraud charges. And I think that this is what has essentially inoculated him you know that along with his bold actions for trump going further than most attorney generals those two things have inoculated him with the uh the republican conservatives uh but again those attacks were old easily dismissed as partisan Washington attack. However, that is not the case with these new charges because the new charges came about in February. Well, where this all hit the fan was in February of this year. They first went public with some whistleblowers in the latter part of October 2020. And, you know, there was a lot of things happening with that.
Starting point is 01:27:30 Everybody was focused on the presidential race. They weren't focused on this. But at the very last minute, this stuff came out. Most of it wasn't even talked about until the end of November after the election. And again, everybody at that point in time was focused on the election fraud. Ken Paxton then takes the position that he's going to go further faster on this Trump stuff than any other attorney general, perhaps to protect himself. And so this went into, uh, what it involved was multiple people who worked for him, high-ranking officials in the attorney
Starting point is 01:28:08 general's office. And there were eight of them. Four of them eventually became whistleblowers. In February, Paxton agreed to settle a whistleblower lawsuit brought by former aides who accused him of corruption. The $3.3 million payoff had to be approved by the House, though, right? He went, not just the House, but it was also the Senate. He shopped this around to both the House and the Senate, and that was what caused this impeachment. Nobody had really, including the people in government, nobody had really paid much attention to the Swisselblower lawsuit. He settled with him, let's just say three and a half
Starting point is 01:28:50 million. And then he comes to the state legislature and says, I want you to pay this three and a half million. And they're like, what? For what? And they start looking at the Swiss whistleblower complaint that Ken Paxton settled with them on. And they said, whoa, this is huge. And as one member of the investigative committee wrote on Friday, he said, if it wasn't for Paxton's own request for a taxpayer-funded settlement over his wrongful conduct, he would not be facing impeachment. He was the one who brought it to their attention because he wanted them to pay for this. And then they looked at the charges and they said, whoa, the five-member committee that
Starting point is 01:29:39 unanimously called for impeachment, they mounted an investigation of Paxton, and it was led by his fellow Republicans. And in Texas, Republicans control both chambers by large majorities, and the state's GOP leaders hold all the levers of influence, but that didn't stop Paxton from seeking to rally as a partisan defense. Again, because now we've got three political parties. We have not just the Republicans and the Democrats, but within the Republican Party, everybody is divided by Trump. So there's Republican A and Republican B.
Starting point is 01:30:17 Where do you stand on Trump? Well, you know, you're either for him or against him. You've got to be for him or against him, and so then you get put into a different category. So there's a partisan fight going on between Republicans and Democrats. Then there's a partisan fight within the Republican party over Trump. When the house investigation emerged on Tuesday, Paxton suggested it was a political attack by Phelan.
Starting point is 01:30:37 And then he started calling him the drunk guy, which I just played. And yes, he was drunk. So what? That doesn't give you a free pass to engage in any of these alleged crimes. Moments after the vote, Paxton's office said the impeachment was based on totally false claims and he appointed to internal reports that found no wrongdoing. He investigated himself and found that he had done nothing wrong. House investigators said the attorney general's probe into his actions
Starting point is 01:31:06 included false and disproven claims as part of the investigation that exonerated him, that he did himself. Trump and Ted Cruz came to his defense on Saturday. Abbott again, still has not spoken about the impeachment process. Uh, so his wife,
Starting point is 01:31:26 Angela two term state Senator will be voting as they hold this trial in August. again, still has not spoken about the impeachment process. So his wife, Angela, two-term state senator, will be voting as they hold this trial in August. And in a twist, it deals with the extramarital relationship. The impeachment charges include bribery for one of Paxton's donors, an Austin real estate developer, Nate Paul, allegedly employing the woman with whom he had the affair in exchange for legal help. Now, a little bit more detail about that. Nate Paul is a foreign citizen.
Starting point is 01:31:53 I think he came from India. In the great recession that we had, 2007, 2008, he was not affected by it in his country. So he came to America with a wagon load of cash essentially. And he started buying things that nobody could sell, you know, bought a Marina on Travis Lake and other things, a lot of properties like that. And, um, so he got him at a firehouse type of, you know, fire sale. Um, and, uh, but he was not able to keep them profitable. So he got them at a firehouse type of fire sale, but he was not able to keep them profitable. Probably was hurt by the COVID lockdown and things like that.
Starting point is 01:32:38 So he came in profiting on the federal government's creation of the 2007-2008 economic disaster, and then the next economic disaster that was engineered by Washington took him down. So he went to Ken Paxton and Ken Paxton within a day of this guy going to him essentially stopped all foreclosures and evictions by Texas state law, which we saw happening with Trump, right? And Trump extending it through the CDC, but Ken Paxton just did it himself. And so that was part of it. And a big part of it, of course, the affair, you know, this guy, uh, he gets a job for
Starting point is 01:33:18 his mistress with this Nate Paul guy. And so, you know, again, the COVID stuff, the lockdowns, in this particular case, protecting this guy with something that conservatives should not be okay with what Ken Paxton did in terms of using the COVID plandemic to shut down foreclosures because he was simply doing it for his buddy. And he did it all through Texas, just on his own. The impeachment reaches back to 2015 when he was indicted on security fraud charges.
Starting point is 01:33:57 Again, that was something the Texas voters looked at and said, well, you know, this looks like a technicality, looks like there's a lot of political persecution involved in this coming from the SEC. But then in 2020, that fall, eight senior Paxton aides reported their boss to the FBI. Eight senior aides. They accused him of bribery and of abusing his office to help Nate Hall. Four of them later brought the whistleblower lawsuit. And that report prompted a federal criminal investigation that in February was taken over by the U.S. Department of Justice. Because again, they want to jump in on this. This
Starting point is 01:34:40 is a Republican, so they're going to jump into this with both feet. So the allegations involve Paxton illegally using his Deputy Attorney General for Legal Counsel, his Deputy Attorney General for Criminal Justice, his Deputy Attorney General and Director of the Law Enforcement Division. They were fired several weeks after bringing their concerns to the FBI and to Texas Rangers. Paxton claimed, he didn't claim that he was innocent. He claimed that the Whistleblower Act did not apply to the FBI. He claimed allegations of misconduct by elected executive officials,
Starting point is 01:35:37 such as himself. You see? He doesn't even fight it. He says that whistleblower that you can't use whistleblower against elected official. And then he says, um, uh, but I'll settle the claim and I'll have the state pay the three and a half million dollars. And then when they get the bill, they start looking at what's in the bill. And that's when the impeachment came.
Starting point is 01:36:06 This guy's not only, in my opinion, a corrupt official. I mean, these are his deputy attorney generals for several different things, and that's just four of them. There are eight people who went to the FBI and to the Texas Rangers complaining about his corruption, eight of the people who work for him. And these are Republicans. I mean, he's been there for a while. This is not like the situation in the Trump White House,
Starting point is 01:36:35 where he puts in a bunch of Democrats and Goldman Sachs bankers and things like that. These are people who have been Republicans all along. And so, looks to me like there's a lot of smoke and maybe a lot of fire here. The settlement was contingent on securing the money from the state. And when he asked them to pay it, they said no. And they looked at it, began the impeachment proceeding. So now because the deadline has passed, the deadline was in May. Now the settlement did not go into
Starting point is 01:37:06 effect and now the lawsuit is back on as well. And we're going to find out a lot more about that lawsuit, I think, in the next couple of months because now they're going to go into discovery. The suit moved to the Texas Supreme Court, which will decide the issue of whether the Attorney General is subject to the Whistleblower Act. That's his defense. Again, his defense is not, I didn't do it. His defense is, you can't come after me with a whistleblower lawsuit. I'm an elected official. And so I guess elected officials can engage in any kind of bribery they wish, right?
Starting point is 01:37:52 And yet everybody is lining up on this because he was siding with Trump. And guess what? He sided with Trump after all this stuff blew up. Gives him a good alibi, doesn't it? So, again, he's had a lot of battles from people inside the state. And so Ted Cruz, let's talk about what Ted Cruz says about it. He says, what is happening to Ken Paxton is a travesty for the last nine years. He's been the strongest conservative attorney general in the country bar none. No attorney general has battled the abuses of the Biden administration more ferocious, ferociouslyly and more effectively than has Paxton.
Starting point is 01:38:27 He said, I understand that people are concerned about Ken's legal challenges. See, there are legal challenges. Mistakes were made. Challenges are made. But you have to understand, you know, he's an elected official. He can do bribery and stuff like that. And you're not allowed to ask any questions. You can't even file a whistleblower complaint because he's elected.
Starting point is 01:38:49 You want that kind of government? You want people, Republicans, do you want people with that kind of attitude? Come on, Ken. Did you do it or not? You can't even fight to maintain your innocence. You just want to say, I'm above the law. I can do whatever I want because I got a bunch of MAGA people to vote for me because I defended Trump. That's the best you can do in Texas?
Starting point is 01:39:12 Seriously? He said virtually all the information in the article said Ted Cruz was public before election day and the voters chose to re-elect Ken Paxton by a large margin. That's absolutely not true. Ted Cruz knows that's not true. He knows the timeline of when these charges came out. He knows that even the House didn't know anything about this until Paxton gave them the bill in February of this year. But you know, hey, it's important
Starting point is 01:39:43 for Ted Cruz to not get the MAGA people upset with him. You know, we got to keep those Trump supporters happy. Don't say anything bad about Ken Paxton because he did so much to help Trump. And they've already decided that because of that, you know, he can't be found guilty. See, that's the other part of it. Ken Paxton says that he's immune from prosecution because he's an elected official. The MAGA people say he's immune from crimes because he supports Trump. Do you understand?
Starting point is 01:40:16 That's what's happening here. Trump says he will fight any lawmakers who support the impeachment thing. Well, he's going to be fighting 71% of the Texas House then. He put that out there before, and this is an interesting thing. Trump tried to intimidate them from voting to impeach. And he put out, he vowed he would fight any lawmakers who supported the impeachment, any Republicans,
Starting point is 01:40:51 and 71% of them did. Yeah, how about that? That's probably the most positive thing of this story. We'll be right back ¶¶ Thank you. Analyzing the globalist's next move. And now, The David Knight Show. Juan Rumble, thank you, Angus Mustang. I appreciate the tip. Thank you.
Starting point is 01:42:29 He says, if Trump wins, I'm moving to Antarctica and starting a new society for people with brains. Well, yeah, stay away from Musk. He's got that neural link thing. We'll be talking about that coming up here. Let's talk a little bit about the election. And before we do, let me just say that if you like the stream, I know a lot of people tell me they don't like me talking about the things I talk about, politics and stuff, but I'm going to talk about that because, you know, politics have consequences. Policies have
Starting point is 01:43:01 consequences. Maybe you didn't notice that in 2020. I sure did. And so we should not forget what was done and who did it to us. But if you like the stream, please like the stream. Click like wherever you are watching it. If you're watching this as a recording, please like the podcast wherever you download it from. Please like it on any of the video platforms that you're on. That helps to promote our visibility.
Starting point is 01:43:31 And that's a big issue for us. Visibility is a big issue. So we'd appreciate it if you would help us that way. It doesn't cost you anything to do that. We'd appreciate your financial help. But I think things are going to get a lot rougher. We're looking at recession. It's going to get a lot rougher. We're looking at recession. It's going to get rougher for everybody, but I think things are going to get particularly rougher for this broadcast
Starting point is 01:43:51 because artificial intelligence is now going to be snooping through content. It's one issue to not be able to monetize, right? Spotify won't even carry my podcast, the biggest one out there. And even though I do have a podcast host that will let me monetize it with sponsors, sponsors don't like what I talk about. And so, and of course, you know, the ADL, the defamation league is that's why they run the game that they do. Uh, they label anybody that they don't like as antisemitic. And then whether or not those charges are true. And in my case,
Starting point is 01:44:37 they're obviously not whether or not those charges are true. If they call you a racist corporate sponsors, even if they aren't pushing the woke agenda like Bud Light, they'll say, well, you know, this guy's got a label there and he's been accused of being an extremist. So, uh, we probably shouldn't advertise on that program. So you see that type of stuff happening, but it's going to get worse because they're going to use artificial intelligence to go through and to flag what I'm talking about. And most of my views come off of one platform. And so if they decide, and it's one of these woke corporations, if they decide that they want to pull the plug because of my content, then it disappears.
Starting point is 01:45:20 But we'll leave it up to God. I had somebody I worked for try to make me disappear already anyway. But if you could like us, that would help a great deal. Don't forget, as we're talking about these difficult financial times, prepare for yourself. You can go to davidknight.gold. That'll take you to Tony Arterburn. And Tony is somebody I've known for a long time.
Starting point is 01:45:43 I trust him. And he sells gold, silver, and I don't know if he's still doing Bitcoin. I think he might be doing Bitcoin, but again, you can get gold and silver there. You can even, you can buy outright purchases of whatever you want to get, but you can also get into the program that he has
Starting point is 01:45:59 where he sends, you sign up for a certain, you subscribe to a certain level and he sends you that much in terms of medals each month. Great program. And, uh, also on subscribe star, uh, that has been along with the, uh, the ads that has really kind of been a mainstay of, um, our financial support. And, um, both of those things have dropped significantly. So on subscribe star, you can subscribe, you know, just like Tony Artvin's gold thing, the Wise Wolf Gold subscription service. You can also subscribe to Subscribestar starting at $5 a month if you want to support us.
Starting point is 01:46:38 And you can put tips on there as well. So you can find us on Subscribestar. We have the links in case you're having trouble finding any of this stuff. We've got the links at thedavidknightshow.com. Also links to where you can find the program. Let's talk a little bit about politics. Let's begin with Jane Fonda. Jane Fonda gave an interview where she's dishing on all the people that she worked with. She came after Robert Redford. She came after a director that she worked with, Jean-Luc Goddard. And she, in the headline, dishes on Hepburn, Audrey Hepburn. So she comes after Audrey Hepburn, Robert Redford, a director that she worked with,
Starting point is 01:47:18 all these other people. But especially what she's getting headlines for is the fact that she's blaming men for climate change. So it reminds me of a, of a headline that was on national lampoon. I've talked about it before. It was back when I had PJ O'Rourke was writing for them. And,
Starting point is 01:47:40 um, it was, uh, like a, you know, New York times liberal paper. And it headline was, World Ends Tomorrow,
Starting point is 01:47:49 Women and Minorities Hardest Hit. That's what this always is. But the reason I begin this is because she's sounding very much like RFK Jr. We have to arrest and jail men for climate change. You know, like I said before, everybody I know likes either Trump, DeSantis, or RFKJ, and they're getting angry at me because I don't like any of them. And because I say, our future doesn't lie in the Oval Office. We only follow these people so that we know the different attacks
Starting point is 01:48:28 that they're going to throw at us in the first place, but we can't trust any of them to do what they say they're going to do. And they're not on our side. And you better start understanding that Washington is the enemy, Washington will be the enemy, regardless of whether Trump, DeSantis, or RFKJ gets in, and it will continue to be the enemy, and you better start figuring out how you're going to take care of it
Starting point is 01:48:54 at the state level. You know, last week, I talked to Senator Frank Nicely here in Tennessee. I said, so what about this pistol brace thing? Because, you know, the pistol brace ban was something that Trump did. And then he was working its way through. First he did the bump stock ban. The next thing he did was the pistol brace ban. And he ran that through and only pulled it back in December of 2020
Starting point is 01:49:15 when he wanted everybody to show up in Washington on January 6th. And then Biden picks up the pistol brace ban that Trump had done and starts running with it. Also the precedent of doing gun control by executive order. And so I talked to Senator nicely. I said, so what's going to happen here? And he goes, we already took care of that at the state level. You see, that's why state elections are far more important than the Washington elections. Do you see any of these candidates, Trump, DeSantis, or RFKJ,
Starting point is 01:49:49 saying we're going to stop gun control by executive order? Certainly not RFKJ. He might do gun control by executive order because he doesn't like guns. But Trump's not saying we've got to stop it. He's not going to criticize what he did, banning the bump stocks, banning pistol braces, and again, pulling that back at the very last minute. I haven't heard DeSantis say anything about that either. But you can stop it at the state level.
Starting point is 01:50:14 Senator Nicely said, we've got laws that say you cannot enforce federal laws that conflict with the Tennessee laws, number one. Number two, they passed a law in Tennessee saying pistol braces are legal. End of story. They saw it coming and they fixed it. If you got good people at the state level, you can do these types of things. That's perfectly legitimate. That's nullification. And as we were talking about it, we were both laughing about the fact that the left with marijuana showed that nullification can work. That's a real thing. And even Jeff Sessions, Mr. Reefer Madness himself, left that alone because they didn't want people to get the idea that the 10th Amendment still exists. And that's one of the key things about the Dobbs decision.
Starting point is 01:51:12 That's all about the 10th Amendment. People don't want to present it that way. And yet, and you've got people like Trump and people like Lindsey Graham who want to federalize abortion again. And you know what's going to happen when they federalize it. You know who's going to be setting the death level at that point. What level can we kill a baby? Well, guess what?
Starting point is 01:51:32 Democrats don't want any restrictions on that. And if you make this a federal case again, you're not going to be able to protect it. In Tennessee and conservative states, they're protecting babies. In Tennessee and conservative states, they're protecting babies. In Tennessee and conservative states, they're protecting gun owners. From Washington, from the types of things that Trump and Biden do and have done. Focus on the local level. And so now let's look and see where these guys are coming from. First of all, Jane Fonda.
Starting point is 01:52:02 So she is talking about how this is all men she promoted her radical climate activism efforts saying the world has quote about seven or eight years before we're all gonna die well at her advanced age i don't know if jane fonda's got seven or eight years. So she, she better start worrying about herself. Uh, she's, uh, has shows, no signs of repentance.
Starting point is 01:52:30 As far as I can see, she said, it's good for all of us to realize there'll be no climate crisis. If there was no racism, there would be no climate crisis. If there was no patriarchy, a mindset that sees things in a hierarchical way, white men are the things that matter, and then everything else is at the bottom, she said.
Starting point is 01:52:54 Well, I don't know how a matriarchy of women of color is going to be any better. I mean, we've seen a lot of women of color abusing power. They can be just as corrupt as any white man. But again, this is the kind of tunnel vision, the kind of bigotry that you expect from Hollywood. This is why I call them the Luciferian grooming bigoted trannies. That's what the LGBT are. They're highly bigoted.
Starting point is 01:53:27 And this is an example of it. You know, any problem, any problem that you can imagine, and climate change is an imagined problem. It's imaginary. Any imagined problem is the fault of white men. We're into Jane Fonda and the rest of these Marxists. They're out there like Don Quixote, you know, jostling at windmills of their own imagination.
Starting point is 01:53:52 She said, so when I say I'm fighting the climate crisis, I also feel that I'm fighting patriarchy and racism. Yeah. She's a quixotic Marxist. It's important. She said, because we get a, got to get out of the silos the feminists over here the environmentalists over here that's what i learned when i started being an activist around the vietnam war that was a lesson she learned she didn't learn anything about betraying the uh
Starting point is 01:54:18 prisoners of war there shouldn't learn anything about that you know they're being tortured she's going around oh i just love north vietnam, they're being tortured And she's going around, oh, I just love North Vietnam And they're all, you know, peace and flowers And these guys are like blinking their eyes Help me, you know, and slipped her something And then she gave that note To the Guys running the prison camp
Starting point is 01:54:37 And they beat them severely She didn't learn anything from that She said, well, you know You can take anything, sexism, racism, misogyny, homophobia, whatever, the war, and if you really get into it and study it, learn about it, the history of it, and everything that's connected, this wouldn't happen except for racism.
Starting point is 01:54:57 It's all about white men, she said. Yeah. And then she goes full RFKJ. They all need to be jailed. She said, they all need to be jailed. Well, I see, this is the problem that I have. Um, I wonder if she'll vote for RFKJ since they both agree that anybody who opposes their, their climate windmills, how appropriate isn't it? The Don Quixote and the, yeah, they've even got windmills. Anybody who opposes their climate fantasies needs to go to jail. He needs to talk about that.
Starting point is 01:55:35 I still have not seen him address that. He has addressed the weaponization of the FBI, and he's right about that, because I think he can see that coming for him as well. He says this is not a partisan issue. He said they did it for partisan reasons against Trump. But he said this is a bigger issue than Trump, and it is. Whenever our government becomes corrupt for whatever reason,
Starting point is 01:55:59 and we allow that corruption to be there, it spreads like a cancer. He said this is no partisan skirmish it is about the political weaponization of the fbi to destroy a candidate who is then a sitting president it's about a matrix of lies so elaborate as to make a mockery of the democratic ideal of an informed citizenry 100 truth 100 truth i absolutely agree with RFKJ on that. He said the media's role in the attack on Trump was, quote, maybe the most troubling of all. He said the Durham report reveals the abject complicity of the mainstream press,
Starting point is 01:56:37 which has yet to admit that they were taken in by the men who propagated it, and now continues to permit those lies to stand as truth. And Douglas McKinnon, over the weekend, wrote an op-ed piece on The Hill saying, why I believe RFKJ will be the 2024 Democratic nominee. Now, who is Douglas McKinnon? He worked for both the Reagan and the Bush administrations. So he's a Republican who's been there for a long time. He's watched and participated in a lot of election campaigns. And I thought it was kind of interesting what he had to say. He said, voters are continually seeking a new champion. Will RFKJ become such a champion?
Starting point is 01:57:22 I believe so, at least as far as a Democrat primary process is concerned. When that process is final and all the votes from the primaries and caucuses have been tabulated, I believe that Kennedy will emerge as a Democrat nominee for president in 2024. He said, cue the laughter and the pejoratives. People are going to start throwing bricks at him, laughing at him. And I think this is the other part of it. This also, this also presumes that you have an honest election. That's a big assumption, especially in a Democrat primary.
Starting point is 01:57:58 All right. Seriously. You think that they're honestly going to count the votes in any of this stuff? He said, I'm still not convinced that Biden will actually run for election. Hillary Clinton was saying it, of course, you know, clearing the way possibly for herself. She's always look, you and I know how old she is, but Hillary Clinton doesn't know how old she is. She's lying to herself when she looks in the mirror, just like Dianne Feinstein, just like Fetterman, just like, uh, Darth Vader Ginsburg, they all think they're going to live forever and they
Starting point is 01:58:29 want to keep going for that ring of power. And so I wouldn't be surprised to see her in her. And she said, you know, Biden's age is an issue of people have every right to consider it. She's throwing shade on him. He said the longer that Biden stays in the race, says McKinnon, this Republican, the more he hurts the chances of undeclared Democrat contenders like Lala Harris or Boudigay or Michelle Obama. And of course, she's lurking around as well. He said back in 1975 and
Starting point is 01:59:01 76 and former Georgia Governor Jimmy Carter ran his long-shot campaign for the White House, some of the media also refused to give him a platform. But they did so because they ignorantly dismissed his campaign as a joke, not because they were personally or ideologically opposed to his policies. Today, many in the media refuse to have kennedy on because they're outraged that he dared to question the lockdowns the masking and the vaccine mandates that came in the wake of the plandemic as i would call it but again you know he looks at this and this is my take on rfkj he started out pretty good, you know, around 20% or so.
Starting point is 01:59:47 Latest polls show him dropping a little bit. However, I think that this is something that is going to continue to build. They can't continue to lie about the long-term health effects of the Trump warp speed injections that Biden pushed so heavily. And that's going to hurt Biden with his own voters as they start to realize the truth. McKinnon said there's a real danger in viewing the political process with ideological blinders. He says, look at what Neil Gorsuch just said in this lawsuit over Title 42 public health order. He gave a scathing overview of how civil liberties were trampled during the COVID era. And I read several excerpts from the opinion that Neil Gorsuch said.
Starting point is 02:00:36 But he just recaps a couple of the things here. He said, the U.S. may have, this is coming from Gorsuch, may have experienced the greatest intrusions on civil liberties in peacetime history of this country. Executive officials across the country issued emergency decrees on a breathtaking scale. Governors and local leaders imposed lockdown orders, forcing people to remain in their homes.
Starting point is 02:01:03 They shuttered businesses and schools, public and private. They closed churches, even as they allowed casinos and other favored businesses to carry on. They threatened violators, not just with civil penalties, but with criminal sanctions as well. Now, that's Neil Gorsuch. He does not give any responsibility to Trump or to Biden for any of this stuff. Isn't that interesting?
Starting point is 02:01:30 And I think it is absolutely wrong. It was done under Trump. It was done under Biden. They're ultimately responsible. They were funding this. The buck doesn't just stop with them. The responsibility doesn't just stop with them, but the buck started with them. They're the ones who are pushing the money out.
Starting point is 02:01:47 One of the reasons why we got such a big deficit right now. And so he says, the Kennedy says, a lot of people on the left right now don't like Kennedy because he's an anti-vaxxer. And they may not have any problem with these draconian actions. And that's right, they don't. The left has become totally authoritarian.
Starting point is 02:02:08 He said, but guess what? Tens of millions of Americans did have a problem with these draconian actions. And he doesn't say this in his op-ed piece, but I think even some of the Democrats are going to start to come around as they realize what has happened to them, to their loved ones, and others. They can't keep hiding the effect of this vaccine. We're going to relentlessly push this stuff out. We've got a lot of people now who are doing a lot of research on this.
Starting point is 02:02:37 And of course, it was difficult. We saw at the very beginning of this, we saw people dying instantly, dying within 24, 48 hours after the injection. People passing out as soon as they got the injection with anaphylactic shock from the encapsulation, the polyethylene glycol encapsulation. Pegalated, they call it, PEG. So we saw these types of things happening immediately. And that was a big warning because we've never seen anything like that on any vaccine situations before always. And I said this from the very beginning,
Starting point is 02:03:07 it always takes a while for these things to show up. Well, we saw massive problems at the very beginning, but now the long-term effects of these things are showing up and you got them trying to cover it up by talking about long COVID. They can't keep lying about this. There is no long COVID. There's long-term effects from the Trump shots. And a lot of these Democrats are never going to wake up to this. They'll continue to applaud what Trump did. You saw that with that
Starting point is 02:03:37 interview, that woman who interviewed Crystal Ball was her name. And she harangued RFKJ over the vaccine, kept repeating the talking points of big pharmaceutical companies. Well, good for her. She gets a big program on YouTube and lots of sponsors and all the rest of the stuff for lying. But there will be a reckoning for that. Maybe not in this life. But she harangued him for all of that stuff.
Starting point is 02:04:07 And there's going to continue to be Democrats like that. They're not going to let up. But some of them are going to understand the truth. And that's only going to build his momentum. So he goes on to say, Kennedy's ace in the hole may very well be his simplified campaign message. Tell the truth. He pledges to say Kennedy's ace in the hole may very well be his simplified campaign message. Tell the truth. He pledges to roll up his sleeve as his father did in the 1960s,
Starting point is 02:04:32 engage in conversations with people. After he met with the editorial board of the New York post, the editors wrote Kennedy has real conviction and charisma. He is fiercely independent of what many of the parties reigning pieties, all of which should appeal to people. And the headline for their editorial was this, Biden is a fool to ignore RFKJ's challenge. To that list of fools, I would add the activist media and the Democrat party says Douglas McKinnon. Again, political and communications consultant who worked for Reagan, who worked for Bush and so on. He's been there for a very long time, but concerns still remain from RFK.
Starting point is 02:05:17 The lock them up for their speech. You know, when Neil Gorsuch said, this is the worst violation of civil liberties that we had during the Trump lockdown that we've seen in peacetime, perhaps in the history of this country. Yeah, Gorsuch knows the history of this country really well. And I would say that I think what happened during 2020 was worse than what we saw in this country during wartime. Certainly during World War I. It's infamous for the things that were being done. If you go back and you look at Woodrow Wilson,
Starting point is 02:05:51 how he used, and this is where the FBI was born, J. Edgar Hoover got his start, the Palmer raids, the Attorney General Palmer, who was angling to run for president, and so he did these high-profile raids. But the guy who carried them out was, um, Jagger Hoover. He carried them out against the people who are anti-war. Um, and as a result, he got his own little bureaucracy, the FBI. You also had the, uh, Woodrow Wilson administration.
Starting point is 02:06:20 I've talked about this many times as well. When we talk about the Supreme Court and free speech. Woodrow Wilson's administration came after a man who did a movie, The Spirit of 76. He was the guy who did all the sets and things like that, which were truly amazing, little set pieces that they had from Birth of a Nation, about the Civil War, the assassination of Lincoln, the surrendered Appomattox, and things like that. He did a great job with that, and so he decided he'd make his own movie, and he'd do his movie instead of about the Civil War.
Starting point is 02:06:53 He'd do it about the Revolutionary War, Spirit of 76. Well, Woodrow Wilson didn't like that because guess what? The British were the bad guys in that movie. And so they heavily censored it. And he showed it in violation of the demands of the censors. And so they sent him to jail for 10 years and they gave him a massive fine. And the Supreme Court said, that's fine. You can censor movies. Movies don't have free speech.
Starting point is 02:07:21 And that stood until the mid-1950s. We saw all of that kind of censorship of speech and opinion. We saw all of that throughout 2020 and 2021 and 2022. We saw all of that and more. And then you had the economic consequences. Woodrow Wilson, as bad as he was, never locked down Main Street and shuttered businesses for good. He never shut school kids in at home to say they can't get an education, all the rest of the stuff. No president ever did that, even as they were trying to push us into a war. And so that's the only place where I disagree with Neil Gorsuch, that and the fact that he won't talk about either one of the presidents
Starting point is 02:08:08 when he talks about these abuses. So when we look at RFKJ, tell the truth. Well, you know, I do honestly believe that he is telling the truth as he believes it on the climate change stuff, but he is dangerously wrong about that. Last week I talked about the EPA decision telling the truth as he believes it on the climate change stuff, but he is dangerously wrong about that. Last week, I talked about the EPA decision where, uh, they had this expansive view of waters of the U S. WOTUS and woe to us.
Starting point is 02:08:39 If we can't shut, shut that down. I said, because you've had a couple of cases. Um, and I talked about one that was in montana family had eight acres they decided they wanted to put a pond in that was completely contained on their property not spilling out anywhere else they wanted it for their own uh recreation for their kids and for one or two cows that they kept. And the EPA came in and put tens of, just started ramping up the fines on them. They got up to 30-something thousand dollars of fines,
Starting point is 02:09:12 added late fees and all this other kind of stuff, and then tried to garnish the man's wages. And that was pushed back. Another case in Idaho, which is what this one was, the Sackett versus us EPA. These people wanted a building permit and it was close to a lake, but they didn't have anything to do with the lake. And there were already other buildings that were there.
Starting point is 02:09:33 The EPA came in and said, no, uh, waters of the U S and they're saying, well, there's no connection at all, you know, to, uh, any other waters and there's no connection here. And so it was clearly taking property rights, the EPA coming in and confiscating property rights from people. And you have to understand, this is a federal motive. When you look at the people who've been pushing the globalist type of stuff, like universal basic income, and like Andrew Yang, he was also pushing the idea
Starting point is 02:10:08 that we want to have zoning done at the federal level, not even locally, and to essentially take your property, take your home. Say you can't have a home here, all this stuff. That's what the EPA is doing.
Starting point is 02:10:23 They didn't do it in an overt, in-your-face way. They did it in a roundabout way with these regulations about water stuff. But Children's Health Defense, which has been radically environmentalist, this organization that RFKJ supports, they saw this court decision last week. They said a big win for polluters. No, it was a big win for individual property owners because the government wants to take away all of our property rights. But they saw it as a big win for polluters, that it delivers a blow to wetlands protection. There were no wetlands being protected and what the EPA was doing to the SACEDs, none whatsoever. And yet RFKJ's organization sees it that way.
Starting point is 02:11:13 The radical environmentalists want there to be no buildings, no more building. They want to tear down the buildings that we've got and presumably build a, you know, something that is energy efficient, but then at the same time, they say, well, yeah, but that's going to, even if it's energy efficient, it's going to be a carbon footprint. We just don't want to have any building. These people want us living on the sidewalk or living in tents. If we can even have a tent, I'll probably have too much of a carbon footprint for them.
Starting point is 02:11:47 They don't want us to even have buildings, let alone transportation or food or anything else. And so, one of the things that we should be very concerned about is the fact that RFKJ is a true believer. A true believer. He can be true to himself, and he truly believes in this stuff, and he is truly a member of the climate cult. On Rockfin, Jay Gold, well, thank you very much. That is very kind, very generous. Appreciate that. He says, as a Jew, I love hearing your clarion call and don't mind hearing the news from your New Testament. Well, thank you.
Starting point is 02:12:27 Remember, we both share the Psalms and a belief in one God. Folks, please support this show or he will vanish. Please. Thank you very much. I appreciate that. We're going to take a quick break and we're going to come back and we'll talk about some of the back and forth that is happening now with Trump and DeSantis. As I said before, the revolution will not be televised, if you remember that song from the 1960s.
Starting point is 02:12:52 And the debates will not be televised, but the debates will be on social media. And they have already started. And I'll begin with a comment that was from a listener who is very kind, but he doesn't like me anymore. We'll be right back. ¶¶ In a world of deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act. You're listening to The David Knight Show. Well, welcome back. And this is from Richard, a supporter. And he was nice, but he's not happy
Starting point is 02:14:06 with what I'm covering in terms of politics. He said, I felt the need to write to you because I recently stopped sending donations monthly. I've been sending my tithe money to you since you left InfoWars on Subscribestar. He was sending it. And so let me just say this. I'm not asking anybody to do that. I'm asking you to not do that. If you've got money, if you're a Christian and you've got money and you want to support your tithe money, don't send it to me because you need to be supporting your local church. I can't emphasize enough how important it is for you to be building local community. And that's a very important local community for you to be involved in. So support your local church. Support your local sheriff.
Starting point is 02:15:00 You don't have to give him money, but you can give me the money that you would give the sheriff. How about that? But don't give me the money that you would give the sheriff how about that but don't give me the money that you would give to god um please don't do that you got to start building a community support your local church first that type of thing you gotta you know um i do this because um and again i don, I'm not looking to set myself up as a church, and it bothers me when I see people like Michael Flynn doing that and this Reawaken America tour or something like that. It bothers me because, as I said earlier, I think they're using Trump, who they despise, and I think they're using Jesus, who they don't follow. And I really hate that kind of cynicism. And it's one of the things that, you know, put a gag in my mouth for a long time because I didn't want to be an Elmer Gantry. I'm sick to death of these cynical TV evangelists.
Starting point is 02:16:04 It's a miracle. You know, I just, I can't standists. It's a miracle. I just, I can't stand that. It's a stench. These grifting people out there. I don't want to be associated with that type of thing. But again, I'm going to say what I believe. He said, I only listened to you at InfoWars because I'd given up on Alex a long time ago.
Starting point is 02:16:21 I'm a follower of Jesus. Believe you are too. I sent my tithe to you because you so often proclaim his name. I read the biography of George Mueller because of you and even bought copies to share with others. I feel like your show has been mostly positive, even though the things going on in the world are very dark. Let me just, before I get away from that, just say that George Mueller, I haven't talked
Starting point is 02:16:42 about that for a while. I'll just briefly say, read the autobiography of George Mueller. I haven't talked about that for a while. I'll just briefly say, read the autobiography of George Mueller. Look at what he did to protect the kids of his day, the orphans. And I mean, when he would bring them in, he would teach them how to work. He would give them a skill. He would teach them the Bible. he would do a lot of things he wouldn't just feed them but it truly was amazing how God provided
Starting point is 02:17:11 for them and I mentioned that a lot when a lot of people were about to lose their job because of their religious convictions and I said the thing to take away from George Miller, I think it was something like 90,000,
Starting point is 02:17:28 he kept a detailed diary about things that he had prayed for and things that were answered. Some of them took a very long time, but some of them were amazing, what happened. And when he died, the entire town turned out to see him. But he said the reason he kept that diary was because he wanted people to understand that the Bible is not just a dead letter. The God who gave it to us is still around.
Starting point is 02:17:58 And we have lost sight of all of that. We think the politicians are going to do it, or we think we can do it ourself. And so he purposely lived a life like that and kept detailed records of it, and you should read that. I mean, you get wonderful examples from the life of people, especially in the Old Testament, where you see their full biography. Leaders, especially. Kings, political leaders, and things like that. And we see how a bad political leader is something that God holds the nation accountable to. You get a bad political leader, they're going to affect the climate. Certainly, even in a monarchy where Israel had a king, it certainly affected them.
Starting point is 02:18:44 And yet, they don't get to pick the king, but they're still held responsible for what the king does. How much more so are we responsible for the president that we choose? Shut her to think about that. Anyway, he goes on to say, this writer says, I'm not a Trump supporter. I think he's a bad man. I used to admire you taking that unpopular stance on calling him out over the past six months or so. I found that I can't stand hearing you rant about him anymore.
Starting point is 02:19:16 That's because he's running for office. He's the front runner. Um, many times there have been a lot of Biden news that I would have liked to have gotten your take on, but instead you go on and on about Trump instead. I feel Trump is irrelevant, being that he's not even president. Wow. Personally, these days I don't like hearing anything about the man, good or bad. Well, we certainly both agree on that. That's one of the reasons why it turns into rants because it's like, I can't
Starting point is 02:19:50 believe this is happening again. He's, he's way ahead. If you haven't noticed in the polls and he just overtook DeSantis in California and the polls, uh, He is on his way to being the nominee and everybody is talking about it. And he's talking about everybody. So we need to talk about what is happening with that. And look, if you don't like what Biden is doing, and I don't like what Biden is doing, we all know what Biden is doing. The reason I focus on Trump like this is because and i've said this from the very beginning i said this when i was at info wars and he was stabbing us in the back
Starting point is 02:20:31 in 2020 i said i would rather have and that was when we had biden and trump i said i'd rather have somebody who flies his flag and wears his uniform and you know what team he's on because then you're going to oppose him. Rather than having somebody who is a fifth column, who is a backstabber, who pretends that he's on your side. You know, that was the etymology of the fifth column. I think it was the Spanish Civil War, where the guy says, well, we've got four columns coming after the city,
Starting point is 02:21:04 but we've got a fifth column that's on the inside. You know, these guys we put in as Trojan horses, essentially. And that's the problem with Trump, is that people didn't see and still don't see even though he's already done it. And it's been publicized. They don't see the evil that he's done. And that's why I rant about that. That's why I say anybody other than that,
Starting point is 02:21:24 because not just because of what he's done, but because of when we embrace that kind of evil, then it only furthers the corruption. It only encourages him and other people. You wind up with people like George Santos. It's like, hey, I get a pass because I'm a Republican or people like Ken Paxson. Hey, I get a pass because I won the election. I can do anything I want. There's no laws to control me now, right? You embrace corruption. You're going to get more of it. And so that's why I talk about that. Um, and again, you know, we'd be fine if everybody would just, we have a few people who have supported us heroically.
Starting point is 02:22:07 And if, um, you know, people would just, I don't want your tithe. Send me a cup of coffee. If people would do that, you know,
Starting point is 02:22:15 uh, we would have more than enough. I would have many, many times, but we have with this. Um, and, um,
Starting point is 02:22:23 so that's, that's it, you know, just a little bit of support from a lot of people, but we got a lot of support from a few people. That's basically what's happening. What we're seeing here on, um, on Rockfin with Jay. Uh, this is another letter. A person says, um, uh, this is from Keith. He says, uh, no shoes, no shirt, no mask, no service. That was a typical sign in storefront windows. However, what they blindly don't see is that shoes and shirts are common, decent body wear. A mask is a medical device that is OSHA regulated, and you need at least eight hours of PPE training to properly wear it.
Starting point is 02:22:59 A mask is not common clothing, but was always used for quarantining the sick, not the healthy. All of this. Yeah, he's absolutely right. And so the reason he writes this, he says, I know you've covered this before. He said, and it's not about the private company's so-called rights. The private companies don't have rights. We agree on that. Only individuals have rights.
Starting point is 02:23:17 But he said, why didn't John Stossel and Governor DeSantis not think about the ADA? I agree. The Americans with Disabilities Act. They obviously didn't care. And I reported many cases where you had situations of people who had asthma, children even, who had asthma, when they were saying, it doesn't affect the children. It affects elderly.
Starting point is 02:23:37 But they would not let the kids go without the mask, even if the kids had asthma. They would not let the kids go without a mask, even if the kids had asthma, they would not let the kids go without a mask. Even if the kids were very young, I want to freak out. We were the only country that was masking up toddlers on airplanes. The only country happened under Trump happened under Biden. And when you look at the OSHA stuff, OSHA would mandate masks for certain things, but they would say after 20 minutes, you got to take them off and give people a break so they can breathe. That's a big issue.
Starting point is 02:24:08 Well, OSHA, instead of abiding by their own regulations, Biden used OSHA to push mandates on companies. It's just amazing how they turned everything upside down. So let's get to the, again, as I said, Trump is retaking the lead from DeSantis in California. He's not going away. He's going up. This is why I got to talk about this. When people tell me he's not president, leave him alone. They were telling me that in December.
Starting point is 02:24:44 They were telling me the election was rigged that in December, they were telling me the election was rigged. I said, yeah, show me one that wasn't. But do you know how he participated in the rigging? Do you realize that he's not doing anything to push this back? Eight, the first $8,000 that you gave to Trump went to Trump and the Republican party, the RNC, they split it. If you gave any more than 8,000, then they, you gave $8,001, 8,000 goes to Trump and The RNC, they split it. If you gave any more than 8,000, then you gave $8,001. 8,000 goes to Trump and the RNC, and $1 goes to the legal fund. I said, they're not doing anything about this. This is just a grifting operation. And then after I told people, stay away from January 6th. After January the 6th, I was talking about it. I said,
Starting point is 02:25:23 I can't believe that they didn't change anything in Georgia. We had the primary, we had the runoffs there. And now, you know, two Democrat senators and Democrat control of the Senate because everybody's focused on Trump. And that was January the 5th, January the 6th. Stay away from it. Then after January the 6th, I told everybody, I said, do you see what he's doing?
Starting point is 02:25:46 Leave him alone. He's not president anymore. You know, just leave the man alone. I said, you have to understand what he just did to you. And you have to understand, I said, that he's coming back. He's not done. But if you can't see what he did to you, he's going to do it again. And that's where we are right now.
Starting point is 02:26:02 People can't see how he played them for money. They can't see how he played them for money. They can't see how he lied to them, and they're supporting him in droves. Here's a good example, Mike Cernovich. Mike Cernovich, headline from Revolver, a big Trump suckerfish, Revolver is. Again, I still have not seen anything from Darren Beatty apologizing to Stuart Rhodes or retracting his lies about Stuart Rhodes saying that Stuart Rhodes was a fed I I had people tell me that you know Oath Keepers was not what it was I had people tell me that Oath Keepers that he would take in control of all of it it It was a grifting operation.
Starting point is 02:26:45 I didn't, you know, last time I talked to Stuart Rhodes was right after the election, and he was not the Stuart Rhodes that I had talked to years earlier. And I told the crew, I said, I don't want to talk to him anymore. But, you know, he doesn't deserve 18 years in prison. This is such an egregious, unequal application of the law for all these people. And when you look at this, it's just beyond belief that we're going down this road. But again, they're pushing it into a civil war but i i said you know stay away from it there's going to be a lot of federal agents provocateurs and everything there cernovich says uh when asked the question who handled covid better trump or desantis
Starting point is 02:27:39 and this op-ed piece uh from a revolver and that's how we got into it, Darren Beattie accused Stuart Rhodes and also Enrique Terrio and also Ray Epps of being insiders, of provoking this, of pushing people to it. I was like, really? Did any of the three of them push people more to this January the 6th thing than you did, Darren Beattie? Seriously? I don't know about Ray Epps, but you know, these other two guys that he accused, even after they were charged, he said they're charging them with seditious conspiracy because they know that's such a ridiculous overcharging that nobody will ever be found guilty then when they were found guilty you heard nothing but crickets from darren beattie
Starting point is 02:28:31 and now you know still waiting the proud boys are still waiting for their sentencing stuff uh but now with the 18 years for desantis no ret. This is one of the reasons why I'm not jumping into this Ray Epps thing, because that's 100% Darren Beattie. And he was wrong on these other two. But don't tell me that some guy, even if he is a fed plant, had more to do with pushing people, provoking people, than any of these people who are pointing the finger at Ray Epps. Every one of these people in the alternative media pointing the finger at Ray Epps have far more culpability in pushing this thing than any individual could, even if he's a Fed agent. Far more. And that's why they're pushing the finger at him. They're willing to throw anybody under the bus to save themselves over the
Starting point is 02:29:28 reprehensible things that they did. So, um, this, uh, this article from, uh, Darren Beatty as well,
Starting point is 02:29:38 you know, team DeSantis says that Ron was excellent in dealing with all aspects of COVID while portraying Trump as someone who blindly following Fauci's advice. The truth is that everyone, including Trump and DeSantis made mistakes. No, no, no, no mistakes were made. No mistakes were made. They violated the constitution. They violated your liberty.
Starting point is 02:30:00 They lied to you. They didn't do due diligence. And that goes for both DeSantis and Trump. I'm not going to excuse either one of them. And so he says, like one time back in 2020, when Ron
Starting point is 02:30:15 threatened to revoke people's business license if they were caught allowing customers to stand too closely to one another. Well, I criticized DeSantis for saying that he closed I-10 coming in from the West, he closed I-95 coming in from the North. He did that before Cuomo did that. Cuomo eventually started saying, well, we're going to shut highways coming
Starting point is 02:30:35 into New York. And then the Republicans complained about that, but not too many people complained when DeSantis did it coming into Florida. But that was early on. That was in like the first couple weeks when they were saying two weeks to lock it down. He was the last one to lock down first one to open up. I'm not cutting him any slack for, uh, for that.
Starting point is 02:30:54 Um, but he did, as I said before, he was the last one to lock down the first one to open up, but he still locked down and he should be criticized for that. But it's a completely different category than Trump, who years later is bragging about how he saved so many lives by locking us down even before Fauci wanted to, says Trump. And bragging about how he saved millions and millions of lives worldwide with his untested vaccines that he rushed out to people. That is a completely different category.
Starting point is 02:31:30 Darren Beatty says both Trump and DeSantis eventually changed their stances on COVID-19. Did they? I never saw Trump come back and say, I was wrong to lock things down. I never saw him come back and say, hey, that vaccine thing, that's don't take it. He just stopped talking about it when his campaign managers told him to stop talking about Cernovich, Mike Cernovich, Mike Cernovich, uh, Trump and DeSantis are tied on COVID issues. He said the first wave was deadly and they saved lives. Come on, Cernovich. You're still pushing this nonsense.
Starting point is 02:32:07 You're still pushing the idea that this was a virus, that it was a real pandemic. Come on. These people just prostitute themselves. It's amazing to see it. At the beginning of May 2023, DeSantis embarked on a whirlwind COVID tour where he went from city to city chastising lockdown leaders. Well, again, you know, what I said about that is absolutely true. He did it, but he did stop earlier than most of them. And I played this for you last week, the short clip DeSantis saying that Trump killed people with his lockdown.
Starting point is 02:32:42 I think he did great for three years, but when he turned the country over to Fauci in March of 2020, that destroyed millions of people's lives. And in Florida, we were one of the few that stood up, cut against the grain, took incoming fire from media, bureaucracy, the left, even a lot of Republicans. Yeah. And they want to pretend now, people like Cernovich, people like Darren Beattie, people like Enfield, want to pretend that never happened. You know, DeSantis never stood up to these people. He never took fire for it.
Starting point is 02:33:16 And we know what this is about, Soros said. We learned how we can control people by using this COVID thing. COVID-19 also helped legitimize instruments of control. Yeah. Now Trump says on Truth Social, he said, Ron was a big lockdown governor. I left that decision up to the governors and I fought with people for three years about it. Trump's not to blame. You hear this from Fauci as well. Fauci said, I didn't lock anybody down.
Starting point is 02:33:46 Trump says I didn't lock anybody down. Oh, really? The executive order, the money that you released to people, the constant hectoring of all this stuff, the bragging about it. You know, look at the way the Trump administration, Hector. General motors for not building ventilators enough ventilators and sort of thing. Hey, yeah. The ventilators are rimmed,desivir, the jabs, the lockdowns, the financially incentivized malpractice, that was all Trump.
Starting point is 02:34:13 And then Biden took over the reins. You know, professional wrestling, tag team. He taps out and he takes off. I got it, you know. Puts the economy in a headlock. March 17, 2020, at the pandemic's onset, DeSantis issued an executive order directing Floridians to limit their gatherings at public beaches.
Starting point is 02:34:33 That order did not direct local officials to close their beaches or to say that closures were necessary. Instead, DeSantis urged residents to support beach closures at the discretion of local authorities. And again, this is what Trump is saying, what Fauci is saying. They're saying, well, I didn't do it. These other people, I'd say it's the Nuremberg thing in reverse. I didn't give any orders.
Starting point is 02:34:59 They gave the orders. The people at the bottom gave the orders. They're to blame. I'm not to blame. I just set the agenda. I just financially incentivized these actions. but I didn't actually do it. These other people who took the money from me did it because I was paying. Now, DeSantis is not making this excuse. This is being put out by WRAL. DeSantis did not close all beaches in Florida. They're fact-checking Trump.
Starting point is 02:35:26 He did close some. And again, they go on to say, well, he suggested that you obey the local authorities and stuff like that. That's a very different thing. And what we saw from DeSantis, like I said, he pulled it back. He took a lot of flack
Starting point is 02:35:44 because then he started opposing the local governments for doing that and the local school boards and opposing the cruise ships and things like that. DeSantis said about the Trump claim that Cuomo handled COVID better than he did. He said, how about the fact that we had the third most deaths of any state having to do with China virus or COVID, said Trump. Even Cuomo did better. He was number four. Well, DeSantis said, first of all, Florida had less excess mortality than California or New York. Part of that is because states like California had excess mortality derived from the lockdown policy, which is really, really avoidable mortality. And again, we're talking about Florida having a lot of elderly people. We're talking about people
Starting point is 02:36:30 being labeled as died from COVID because they had a PCR test. But that's besides the point. DeSantis is saying we got it wrong and we corrected it. When he did, you know, again, fought against it, he said, but if he thinks, if Trump thinks that Cuomo handled it better, this is key. That's an indication that if something like this were to happen again, because, you know, the World Health Organization wants it to, that Trump would double down and do what he did in March of 2020. See, that's the key. That's the key.
Starting point is 02:37:04 You watch out for these new WHO rules. You watch out for the fact that all of this model state health emergency powers act is still in place everywhere. And, um, then you have, uh, Trump who's willing to do it all again. They've all indicated that they're going to do it again. Just a matter of time. So, um, uh, when you go back and you look at Cuomo, maybe Trump forgot about the fact that, um, in March of 2022, the New York state health department found that Cuomo had misled the public and undercounted deaths by more than 50% to try to save his image. See, he's as dishonest as Trump is.
Starting point is 02:37:47 They play with the statistics. It was always about the numbers game. And it was the same numbers game that they used every year for the flu. That's why it was so obvious anybody had been reporting on this stuff. That was a difficult situation. We didn't have all the facts. And people can kind of understand it if you did things that may not have worked out. You see, that's what DeSantis is saying.
Starting point is 02:38:12 Yeah, we got it wrong. And he was the first one to move to correct it. He said that Fauci should have been fired by Trump. He accused the former president of turning the reins over to Fauci and elevating the longtime government official. We all saw that. We all saw that this is not politics. This is what actually happened. Uh, we all have to sit here today in 2023 and look back at March of 2020 and say, Fauci ism was wrong. Fauci ism was destructive. Fauci ism has set us on this path with the CARES Act and the Fed printing money, creating inflation, creating some of the economic problems that we have today.
Starting point is 02:38:51 So if you could do it again, would he do the same thing, said DeSantis of Trump? I sure hope not. See, he said, at the very least, he has said that he would not do it again. And as he's talking about the issues, he says Trump is moving to the left. At the end of the day, though, he is going left on a lot of the fiscal. He's going left on culture. He's even sided with Disney against me. You know, I stood up to Disney because I oppose the sexualization of our children. I think it's wrong in school, but I also think it's wrong when Disney's trying to jam that into their programming.
Starting point is 02:39:32 So we not only beat them on parents' rights legislation, we ended their self-governing status in Florida, which they were not entitled to and which was not appropriate given the direction that they're going as a company he is siding with disney and saying that i was wrong uh for standing up with them so you know people have to make their decisions about which way they go but i'll tell you uh i don't know what happened to donald trump this is a different guy today than when he was running in 2015 and 2016 and i think uh i think the direction that he's going with his campaign is the wrong direction. Well,
Starting point is 02:40:07 you know, I, I think you should not run against Disney. You should run in favor of parental rights. That's what Disney was opposing parental rights. Uh, so, you know,
Starting point is 02:40:19 Disney turned it into, don't say gay. Well, I would say to DeSantis, don't say Disney, say parental rights. You're defending the family. Be proud of that. And do come after Trump to say, well, he's siding with corporations who don't want parents to have rights with their kids, corporations that are grooming kids. And again, when we look at this war with Disney that he's involved in, you know, taking away
Starting point is 02:40:48 the stuff from them, it was the right thing to do before Disney started opposing him. And, but by doing that, he makes it look petty. It makes it look like a petty vindictive thing. Uh, I grew up in Florida. I remember when all that stuff happened and, um, you know, everybody in my family was upset about the fact that Disney was getting special treatment. Then you have universal studios go in and you have, um, you know, SeaWorld and all these other attractions go in. They don't get the kind of special treatment that Disney does. Why do they
Starting point is 02:41:20 get to be their own government? That should have been ended a long time ago. And, uh, to make it about the fact that simply that they're opposing his policy. Yeah, that is, I think a tactical mistake. He's doing the right thing. He's, you know, something that should have been done a long time ago for different reasons, but he's doing it now and Disney is aligned against president, uh, against, uh, parental rights and Trump. Has sided with the LGBT over and over again, virtue signaling about it.
Starting point is 02:41:53 He was virtue signaling about siding with the LGBT in 2020. Melania cutting campaign ads, saying Trump was the first president to come in in favor of homosexual mirage and all the rest of this stuff. Holding events as Biden was signing legislation, presuming to lock that in by statute federally, you know, the marriage issue. Trump held an LGBT party at the same time. They're both, you understand how similar Trump and Biden are on these issues. I mean, we don't, to answer the person who sent that letter to me, you know, we don't have to point out the fact that Biden is on the wrong side of the issue. We all know that he's on the wrong side of the issue.
Starting point is 02:42:32 We know where he is. He's just to point out the fact that people don't understand that Trump is on that side as well, on the wrong side. So again, he says he's running to the left, running to the left in terms of fiscal stuff with the COVID cash. Now $31 trillion in debt. Running to the left saying that people who want to protect babies, that's too harsh.
Starting point is 02:42:57 Running to the left in terms of Trump supporting amnesty as part of a 2018 immigration bill. He'd be better off to criticize Trump for what Trump did with DACA and the fact that he didn't do the wall. Um, you know, it's, um,
Starting point is 02:43:13 uh, he's, he's got a great big doorway there where the wall is not there, but he also punted on all this DACA stuff because he didn't want to take responsibility for it. You know, he wanted to sit on all this DACA stuff because he didn't want to take responsibility for it. He wanted to sit on the fence politically, and so he kicked it to the Supreme Court, something that, again, was an executive order from the Obama administration. Trump pretended that he didn't have the authority to enforce the law.
Starting point is 02:43:41 It was even wrong for the Obama administration because their DACA was saying, we're not going to enforce the law, deferred action on childhood arrivals. So we're not going to enforce the law. That'd be the easiest thing in the world to say, well, I'm president now. This is my executive order.
Starting point is 02:43:56 My executive order is that we are going to follow the law, but he played this game and he sent it to the Supreme court. DeSantis. Um, so the Trump campaign, voted for a bill that gave legal status to some undocumented minors as part of a package of tougher immigration restrictions.
Starting point is 02:44:13 Well, he doesn't have a leg to stand on because he let DACA stay there throughout his administration and did absolutely nothing at all about it. Their response, and this is the other thing that bothers me, is a low level of discourse that has now come. And so the response to these criticisms from DeSantis saying that Trump is running to the left and things like that came from Trump Jr. who puts up, and I'll just show you a little bit of it. What the Trump campaign has been doing is memes and mocking. And so when you had this Twitter thing with DeSantis and Musk,
Starting point is 02:44:54 and it was really Musk's failure, but the Trump campaign had put together all these memes of characters doing stupid stuff with DeSantis' head mapped on it. And that's what this is. This is The Office. And so this is their response. memes of characters doing stupid stuff with DeSantis' head mapped on it. And that's what this is. This is the office. And so this is their response. Not that, well, no, we're not going to do gun control.
Starting point is 02:45:13 We're not running to the left on gun control. We're not running to the left on fiscal issues, on immigration issues, on pro-life issues. No. DeSantis, we got a thing of DeSantis from the office wearing women's clothes and what does this have to do with anything absolutely nothing it's just like the he's got a pudding with his fingers once are you wearing lady clothes what are you wearing lady clothes? Those look like lady pants. No, this is a power suit.
Starting point is 02:45:46 That is a woman's suit. I do not buy women's clothes. Okay, so you can see that they've got the love. That's more than just putting a cut-out head on it. They've mapped it in there using some sophisticated AI stuff to mock him. Is there any substance to that? Is there any allegations, even from the Trump campaign, that DeSantis has been wearing women's clothes?
Starting point is 02:46:12 No, those are the people that show up at Mar-a-Lago wearing women's clothes, men wearing women's clothes. How hypocritical of this. And of course, it got a lot of exposure because people were saying, well, when are we going to see a lot of fake videos put out there? But again, this is a fake video that has absolutely nothing to do. It's just a ad hominem attack on DeSantis. It was an episode where, you know, Steve Carroll and that show shows up that way. And so then they mapped his voice,
Starting point is 02:46:44 mapped his head in a three-dimensional way to it, and put that out. I'm glad that the Trump campaign is using their money so wisely. It's good that we can have a substantive debate on issues, isn't it? Yeah, right. And so the National Religious Broadcasters, you had a forum there there and you had Eric Metaxas, who I don't know Eric Metaxas. He's a Christian radio or podcast guy or something like that. And so they had this national religious broadcaster thing said, I'm a Trump man, he said. And he compared Trump to Martin Luther. He called Trump anointed, and he said he was astonishingly entertaining. Well, you know, I mean, Trump and Trump Jr.
Starting point is 02:47:33 can put together some entertaining clips to mock their opponent. But seriously? Anointed? Is that it? This guy knows better. This guy opposed the jabs. You know, when you look at Charlie Kirk, as I said before, I can't see that Charlie Kirk opposed the jabs until we were several months into the Biden administration where it was theoretically safe to do it. At that point, you had a lot of people started to come out and start to oppose the vaccine that Trump had,
Starting point is 02:48:02 you know, first they were saying, Hey, the Trump shot, it's not going to be as bad as it would be if Biden was in there. Biden would be doing what Bill Gates wants. You know, we heard that from people I worked for, right? So, you know, don't worry about that. He's got it. He's playing 4D chess. Don't worry about it. Then after enough time passes, oh, those things are bad.
Starting point is 02:48:21 Don't get them. And, you know, it's evil. And just as Biden was about to mandate these things, they jumped into that with both feet. Then to their chagrin, you had Trump jump back in and start taking credit for this thing that they've been saying was evil. Yeah, they love him, they love him not. They love him, They love him. Not they love him. They love him not.
Starting point is 02:48:52 And, uh, so here you have a guy who knew from the very beginning that this was bad and he is cheering this. The discussion was at the national religious broadcasters meeting in Orlando when asked to comment, um, on the address that was given by DeSantis on the previous day, Metaxas said that he had missed it, but he wanted to comment on the address that was given by DeSantis on the previous day, Metaxas said that he had missed it, but he wanted to comment anyway. He said, I'm a Trump man, but I love DeSantis. I think he'll get his chance, but I believe that Trump will be our next president. I believe it has something to do with anointing. Anointing.
Starting point is 02:49:20 Is this some kind of corrupt TV evangelist talk or something again? You know, again, you go throughout the Bible, and you see, you know, they love to make the reference to Cyrus, where hundreds of years before Cyrus conquered Babylon, they had a scroll that was centuries old that addressed him by name, that I'm going to take you by hand. I'm going to use you to do things for my people, right? And everybody was saying, well, you know, Trump may be a son of a gun,
Starting point is 02:49:58 but he's our son of a gun, and I think he's on God's side. And I think that God is, I had people, when I would cover events live, tell you how many people would come up to me and tell me that because they knew that I didn't believe that. Never did. Oh, you got to get on board with Trump. He's God's man. I said, did it ever occur to you that just as we had God take Cyrus by the hand to do things for his people. He also talked about how he was going to take people by the hand and do things against his people who had rebelled against him. So yeah, nothing happens without God. But did you ever wonder if this political leader is a blessing or a curse to you.
Starting point is 02:50:51 He said, the elite media, the elite media denigrated and despised Trump. I could smell that. I could see that. Oh, good for him. Everybody could see that and smell it. He says that for no other reason than that, I find myself rooting for Trump. Someone who connects with a common man. Well, let me just say, Trump doesn't care about the common man.
Starting point is 02:51:13 Trump is an elitist billionaire. I can see that. I can smell that. I'm surprised that he can't see it. Yeah, he is an elitist billionaire. He does know how to connect to the people in the same way that the richest man in the world, Elon Musk, knows how to connect to the common people. I wonder if Eric Metaxas is going to be telling us that Elon Musk, the guy who likes to go around with a Baphomet symbol on his chest and wants to do Neuralink and thinks that we should all become cyborgs and pushes transhumanism as a religion and on and on and on. Is he going to be telling us that Elon Musk is anointed as well?
Starting point is 02:51:51 But here's how Megan Kelly, I can't believe that I'm playing a Megan Kelly clip here. I've actually talked to her. There's nothing there. Here's what she has to say. She actually got this right. Whoever wrote this for her got it right. He didn't even tap into the righteous anger.
Starting point is 02:52:04 So many of us are feeling that inspired many of his policies in florida maybe he doesn't have that gene maybe he's just a pen and paper guy who will pass the right legislation and that's enough of a blessing but he is up against a man whose voters love him who who is up over DeSantis right now by anywhere from 30 to 45 points, and who has the advantage of already having been a sitting president. It is true adoration, loyalty, and love between Donald Trump and his base voters, the ones DeSantis has been trying to woo, tearing them away with nice policy, and Twitter isn't going to work. Well, you know, the problem is,
Starting point is 02:52:53 policy sounds like this wonky thing, you know? And look, policy. We've got a white paper here from a think tank, and it's about 50, 60 pages of legal legalese and not even i like to read that stuff and i you know can't get past the abstract of this thing this is not what policy is though policy is what locked us down in 2020 policy is what produced the most egregious denial of the constitution individual liberties that this country has ever seen. That was policy. Policy matters. You may not be interested in government. You may not be
Starting point is 02:53:33 interested in policy, but let me tell you, government and policy are interested in you. And you better learn something from the history that you just lived through. Except for the people that Trump killed with his shot, pretty much. We've all lived through this. This is recent history. This isn't ancient history. Come on. We experienced this.
Starting point is 02:53:51 Can we not learn anything from it? Well, evidently, Eric Metaxas can't. He said Trump had no idea that he would be facing the forces of hell. He didn't? Well, he doesn't believe in hell, but he didn't know what he's going to be facing? Is this the guy that you've chosen for your champion? well, he doesn't believe in hell, but he didn't know what he's going to be facing? Is this the guy that you've chosen for your champion? He said, and the forces of hell are not arrayed against Donald Trump.
Starting point is 02:54:15 They are arrayed against God's people and against this nation, which the Lord created, and against Israel. And I don't think that the forces of God are reigned against a country that is as guilty of idolatry as this statement from Eric Metaxas. Perhaps Trump is anointed for judgment of this idolatrous nation, the trusts and horses and chariots and the GOP. They're ripe for a fifth column. And then he goes on to compare him to Martin Luther and all the rest of this stuff. It's just absolutely amazing to see this kind of idolatry. And, um, and then Charlie Kirk. And I just gotta say,
Starting point is 02:55:04 be careful about this guy. I'm not looking to be a pastor, but he is. He's putting together a pastor's conference. Because it's about politics, and you got to carefully avoid contaminating our worship of God with our worship of politicians and policies and politics. Don't get those two conflated. You better keep those things separate from each other. Because as I said before, when you mix politics with religion, you get politics. It destroys whatever it touches, whatever you mix it with, it destroys it.
Starting point is 02:55:44 This is far too important to contaminate it. Yeah, hold out principles. Fight for the truth, but not for a party, not for a politician. You don't fight for that. If they can't defend themselves with policies, and every politician is going to get some things right and some things wrong. You don't get to that level without having compromised on some very serious moral issues. And we need to hold their feet to the fire on those issues. But don't allow yourself to be brought into
Starting point is 02:56:19 captivity with these people. We're almost out of time. Before we run out of time, I want to thank some of the people. And I we run out of time that I want to thank some of the people. And I've got some more things that I want to talk about real quickly, uh, before we do run out of time. Um, and,
Starting point is 02:56:31 um, but I want to thank some of the people who have left tips on rock fin and on rumble, uh, Aaron Moss. Thank you very much. He said, end of the month,
Starting point is 02:56:40 uh, 75% won't work. Y'all will. Thank you very much. I appreciate that. Uh, Angus Mustang. Thank you thank you very much. I appreciate that. Angus Mustang, thank you again for the tip on Rockfin. And Jason Barker, good to see you there.
Starting point is 02:56:51 Thank you for the tip. He says, thank you, David. Hope you had a great weekend. Well, I did have some time of rest. It got me kind of upset. I hope you're doing well. Jason has moved. He's now been able to make it through and retire from the military without getting kicked out. Again, they wanted to get him to get the jab.
Starting point is 02:57:07 He did not want to do it for religious reasons. Jason Barker helped a lot of other people who are in the military and a lot of people who were not in the military with his letter outlining what he had religious objections to. And now Jason is doing Nights of the, uh, with angry tiger and they both have an independent podcast as well. Uh, Jason has now moved to, um, um, Missouri, I think it is. And, uh, yeah, Missouri. And, uh, so I hope things are going well, Jason, we'll have to get you on again, talk about that. And, um, now that you're out of the military, get you on to talk about what you saw there. Uh, also on rumble, we have White Knight. Thank you for the tip there. He says, keep ranting when people stop or can't rant is when you got to worry. Well, that is true. When we look at what
Starting point is 02:57:58 is happening with the news, and I just got to say, you know, I am perfectly content to see where we are, see what God has for us. That's why I stress the George Mueller thing. Let me just give you a personal example. I saw over the weekend they were talking about how the sales prices of homes were just plummeting in certain areas. And Austin, where we were, had the second largest decline year over year. 15.3% of the fastest reducing ones, they were second only to Oakland, California,
Starting point is 02:58:36 which went down 16.1%. So Austin went down 15.3%. San Francisco even went down 13.4. The real estate prices in San Francisco didn't fall as fast as they did in Austin. And so, you know, God, we would have liked to have gotten out of Texas much sooner than that. But, and we wanted to be right here where we are. But that was the perfect timing for that. And so we just thank God about that. And thank God for your support. Again, I did not have any way to contact people. I was pretty much cut off everywhere except for my email and my Twitter. And people found us with that. And I say this because I was not even aware of this when we were leaving. I mean, that's the Austin market down by 15.3%.
Starting point is 02:59:31 We were outside of Austin in the Bastrop area. And right down the road from where we were, we had no idea it was happening. Elon Musk was moving in. He said his big manufacturing facility for SpaceX and for boring. And now the Washington Post has reported on this. A Wall Street Journal talked about it a few weeks ago. Now the Washington Post is talking about it. When you look at what is happening there in that area, it truly is amazing.
Starting point is 03:00:01 He's going in and doing whatever he wants. He wants to just dump the water, his wastewater into the Colorado river river. And they said, no, we want you to send it to the, uh, waste water treatment plant that we have. And he wanted to put in his, uh, cut into the road, you know, for, uh, that was in violation of what the department of transportation want. He doesn't care. Uh, they hit him with fines and he just pays the fines and does whatever he wants. And so they're meeting and saying,
Starting point is 03:00:29 we're going to have to ramp up the fines or something. So this, and then that'll ramp up the fines. So they, they aren't going to be able to out find the richest man in the world who doesn't care about any of this stuff. And so he's bought this area and it's really not, it's pretty close to where we used to live and i
Starting point is 03:00:45 just look at this and saying wow the prices of real estate dropping uh you know 15 or whatever in austin and then this stuff with musk i would have wound up with elon musk as a neighbor uh his facilities as a neighbor and then he's bought this other huge spread that they think is not big enough for a facility but it's going to be somewhere where he lives. And so we just praise God for saving us from things that we didn't even realize were going to be a problem. I could have been in Austin working for Alex and living next door to Elon Musk. So we're fine. Thank you so much for your support have a good day show we've got a problem
Starting point is 03:01:35 who are you it's the new mug they're selling at the david knight show dot com right so basically a mug is something that holds liquid, right? Because, basically, you can't hold coffee with your hands, right? I'm with you, Scat and Lee, but anyone tries to mug me, I'm be ready for it, you dog-faced pony soldier.
Starting point is 03:02:02 They say the mug can help patriots drink coffee, then save the world. This could be bad for us. Save the world? But we owe the world. These people, they're supporting free speech with every mug they buy. Come on. These people... I tell you... Well, anyway... You're listening to The David Knight Show. I tell you, we'll anyway.
Starting point is 03:02:29 You're listening to The David Knight Show.
